Johnnie is the original por- trayer of the singing barber in our class. He cuts your hair with a song tclippers, tool: he'll go through life with a song. He does not shirk responsibility though, for he keeps up in his studies while working steadily. He never cut too many classes- accordingly we vote for him. Michael Lawrence Alberto College. Let us dwell upon the name of Michael Alberto. Mickey must have come from an ancient band of hermits. We suspect that be- hind his reticent exterior there is another Mike. What?- Oh! Thank you-there is. Avis May Alger Commercial. Senior Week Committee. If it is true that a light heart lives long, we may expect Avis to live to a ripe old age. We wonder if the composers had her in mind when they wrote Did You Ever See 0. Dream Walking? We think that they did and do hereby congratulate them for their choice. She's clever, cheer- ful, attractive, and witty. Who could ask for more? Alden Robert Allen Commercial. Calling all cars. . . A blonde boy has not reported to school session. Look for a handsome boy with light wavy hair. If he blushes when you look at him tnot from guiltj, and if he helps you fix a flat tire, that's Bill. He always helps others. Mary Ann Anderson Commercial. Book Committee 5 Dramatic Club 3, 45 Dance Committee. Dimples still have an attrac- tion for boys-ask anyone. Mary has a spirit of wholesome good fun which attracts people more than do her dimples, however. She always seems to enjoy the present completely, but never forgets the work necessary to gain future happiness and suc- cess. Irene Louise Angus College. She's so quiet we could call her The Forgotten Woman. Al- most, but not quite, as her marks bring her to our atten- tion. Don't argue with Ireneg she won't say much, but the few words she does say will smash all your arguments. Regina Marie Barberi Commercial. She's a quiet little girl in school, slipping unobtrusively from one room to another, but that's only her respect for au- thority. She's a great sport for any entertainment. Her for- tunate host or hostess would have the double assurance of a good time for any guests if Reggie were present. Joseph Michael Bellantoni Commercial. Science Club 4. Now, class, our following recipe is appropriate for every entertainment, bridge, etc. Take an active brain: sprinkle with a little jokeg sift thoroughly, pouring in alternately some side- splitting laughter. Add pranks. Heat with the crowd's approval and strong admiration. What have we? Our one and only Joe! gf: 1534 I ilfnrh 1-Iigh Svrhnnl 1934 ak! flg,a1til 7 ug Angelina Felicita Bevilacqua College. Dramatic Club 3, 43 Dante Club 4. Angie was tempted to leave off school in the sophomore year, but she changed her mind. Aren't we lucky she returned to us? She's a patient and con- scientious worker and so man- aged to make up her lost work. If ever Muzzey needs a secre- tary, we suggest Angie. George William Bilsbury College. Football 2. 3, 45 Senior Week Committee, If you see three boys in a car together, the one that's blushing is Georgie. There never was a better-natured bashful V25 boy than he. George is the only person in the school who is al- ways Smiley. He is pep, per- sonality, persistency personified. Joseph Dominic Blascio Commercial. Class Treasurer, Baseball 2, 3, Captain 45 Football 2, 3, 43 Senior Week Committee. Our agents cannot get a thing on Joe. But why should we ex- pose him here anyway? We all like him too well for that. We suspect Joe, however, of being guilty of inveigling people to the ball games. At least, everyone doesn't go to see Gummy per- form. Molly Emily Bocaccino Commercial. We shall let you hear a recent conversation. I guess l'll ask Molly to help me with my studying. She'll do it, too. for Molly is always ready to help others. She's never too tired to lend her assistance whenever pos- sible. Want any favor done. Molly? We'll gladly do it for you. Francis Angelo Bodio Commercial, Dramatic Club 43 Baseball 2, 3, 4. One day, Bob visited a fortune teller. Here is the story: You are a fun-loving boy and are very well liked. Your nickname suits you because you always Bob up to help whenever called upon. You can play havoc with any serious dispositionf' Bob, blushing modestly left. Yes, sir, we agree with her reading. Eleanor Frances Boyer College. Book Committee 3 Dramatic Club 3, 45 Oratorical Contestg Science Club 3, 45 French Club. The present form of educa- tion must be changed, writes Eleanor. No doubt she will do her best to revolutionize the method of teaching, for she is predestined to become a teach- er. She can then use her speak- ing ability to advantage, for. as you know, she has in her pos- session the coveted John E. Swift Oratorical Contest medal. Ernest Atherton Bragg, Jr. College. Science Club 3, 43 Oratorical Contest. Honest and Ernest, this scien- ist has accumulated a vast store of information on every subject from evolution to dancing. In Ernie's mind there is more knowledge than in the Encyclo- pedia Brittcmica. Never do we remember when he was at a loss for a word, idea, or argument. Robert Leroy Brown College, Meet our Jack-in-the-Beam Stalk! He is another of the many classmates interested in hunting and fishing. His oral compositions, dealing with ex- ploits of others rather than of himself, were interesting but gymnastic. We can't quite under- stand why a person of his height should be possessed of such a fragile voice. 2-,ff 1934 I ilfnrh fl igh Svrhnnl 1534 ak? ilg,a11h 7 ug William James Brown Commercial. Buck is not verbose. We take it he wants to say something, not just talk. He seems to have a good fund of common sense and an appreciation of humor. Maybe these are the qualities which gained him such a fav- orable position with the faculty. john Leslie Brown Commercial. .Dance Committee 3, 4. -' A loud blast of trumpets-Ab tention X Hoot l The big shot of -Milford High is here. It -isn't his red hair that makes him stand out in any crowd. No, siree, far from it. It's his wit and air of good fellowship. We knew it all the time. Emily Mae Butcher College, Editor-in-Chief of Oak, Lily, and Ivy, Science Club 8, 4. How the mood of one person can influence a group is clearly shown by Emily. No matter what is happening. things al- ways brighten up when she ap- proaches. Her favorite expres- sion is, Now, I'm mad at you again. Qsaid with a srnile.J Eyes are her favorite observa- tion. Paul Frank Bruno Commercial. Baseball 3, Football Manager 4. Any sand-lot baseball game at recess would find Paul good-na- turedly arguing with somebody over the score. His slow walk was surprisingly contradicted by his energy in administering to the needs of the football squad. His lack of worry would have made him a great Stoic. Celia Helene Calarese Commercial. Book Committee 1 Dramatic Club 4, Dance Committee. She is one of the most hard- working and conscientious people we know and is always the first to offer suggestions. Like many quick-witted people, she is wond- erfully successful in showing us what she sees as she sees it. George William Carlson Commercial. How about some tall jokes this morning, sir? No! Perhaps a little lecture on Sweden, or the advantages of Maine? No I VVell, a little discourse on the merits of a sail boat? Very well, sir, bring in George Carlson, a tall blonde boy. He'll enlighten you as he has us. Hazel Cass College. Book Committee 5 Dramatic Club 3, 45 Science Club 4. To see this tall stately damsel, one would think that Queen Bess had favored us with a visit again. The qualities of strength and tenacity which made the queen popular are again portrayed in Hazel. We wonder how many of you were caught unawares by her camera. Leo Joseph Castiglione Commercial. Football 2, 3, 4. In accordance with the state- ment of trainer. and contrary to public opinion, Leo is a friendly, harmless fellow. He is one of those who make every spare minute count. Some people seem rushed accomplishing nothing. He does not appear rushed, yet still makes the most of his time. -5-,ll 1534 l milfnrh ff ig!! Srhnnl 12134 Qbalii tlgannh 7 ug Jennie Elizabeth Celozzi Commercial. Carrying her scholarly ouali- ties and mathematical abilities with her for four years, our Jennie will be graduated as one of the outstanding students in her course. She belongs to that group of prospective secretaries who never overtalk. Joseph Angelo Cenedella Commercial. Paging Joe Cenedellai Are you the man who has been quiet- ly but steadily going forward each year? Are you the man who has won the admiration of everyone for your good work? No? But we know you are. That same modesty gave you away. Caught you! Lillian Florence Cenedella College. French Club. Work before, play -a fine motto, we're sure. Lily abides by this. Who ever saw her fall down in her duties? As for play, no one seems to enjoy life more than she. Her spirit in Work would soon be deadened if it were not for the pleasure which she knows is forthcoming from honest endeavor. Bernice Ruth Chafetz College. Book Committee 5 Dramatic Club 3, 45 German Club. Has someone brought a baby sister to class? Of course not- that's Boomie. She's into every- thingg she just oozes with pep, and has versatility plus-she can talk, write plays, argue, and bring sucess to any party. Our hats are off to a good sport! Adale Lillian Civinini Commercial. Senior Week Committee. Just a dark-haired girl, but is she important to the class of 1934? Well, we guess. Her fairness and honesty mark her as a great girl. Group music would suffer greatly without Daily. She just adds that something which gives us the tin- ished product. Mario Alfred Colabello Commercial. The practical knowledge stored up by Mario is going to prove of infinite value to him later on. He's willing to do anything tex- cept studyl for anyone. Every recess he used to exclaim. Boy, I'm gonna get mine. He still had to worry through more classes. Joseph Thomas Consoletti Commercial. We ought to call him Sunny because of his disposition and at- tractive hair. Being very am- bitious, he will surely gain a high place. By the way, Joe, control that winkg it may get you into trouble. Alfred Barton Cook Commercial. Class President 3 Dance Com- mittee: Book Committeeg Senior Week Committeeg Baseball 2,3,4. Are we proud of our president! He has every quality that a lead- er should have. Al can run back a question and can easily bat out as high an average in the class- room as he can on the diamond. He may yet be President of these United States. We hope so and we are for him, too. -2-,lf 1934 I milfnrn nigh Srhnnl 1212.4 ak? tlg,a1th 7 ug Henry Richard Comolli College. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 43 Football 1, 2, 33 Captain 4. We are pleased to number among our class a boy who has made quite an outstanding record for himself-as catcher on our baseball team, and star on the football squad. It will always he pleasant to remember the vigor with which he played in our athletic contests. Sebastian Edward Crivello Commercial. He never moans, that's just crooning. There are always friendless people, but few humans come as near to being enemy- less than does Buster. He is constructively inclined rather than destructively, as his nick- name would imply. His theme song, we daresay, is Smile and the World Smiles With You. Lena Rita Daltorio Commercial. She's so small you can barely see her, but you'll hear her. She's so cheerful and jolly that she ap- preciates a joke even at her own expense, but her specialty is playing jokes on everyone else. Lucy Annette D'Arcangelo Commercial. Hark! What's that? A gig- gle? Yes, and here comes Lou. That giggle is as inseparable from her as is her generosity. She likes people-crowds. Crowds are her favorite location, and you're apt to see her in many groups chatting-yes, giggling too. Josephine Marie DiPiet1'o Commercial. Dramatic Club 3, 4. Meet the little girl with the big heart. Jo's hobby is wor- shiping thcse lucky ones en- dowed with the ability to fath- om problems. She dislikes and evades them when possible. However, she would gladly stop to figure some out for her pals. Nelson Charles Dion Commercial. Senior Week Committee. Here is one fisherman who didn't see the one that got awayf' Nelson is fond of all out- door sports. Although he can contribute to any conversation, and do it interestingly, he also has the admirable quality of be- ing silent without being seem- ingly bored. Raymond Charles Dinardo Commercial. Book Committeeg Science Club 4. Dramatic Club 4. Ladies and gentlemen! In this corner is our ray of philosophy- Handsome Ray is always laugh- ing-evidently putting into prac- tice his favorite proverb, A laugh a day keeps your worries away. Or could there be an- other reason for that contented smile? We wonder. Helen Terese Droney College. Dramatic Club 3, 45 Cheer- leader 3, 4. We heard one little birdie whisper to another about Mitzie, She's my choice for a best all- round pal. You know, I think the reason for Milford High's Slllendid sport record is that Mitzie's cheering encouraged the boys to victoryf' We think so, too, birdie. -3-,K 15134 I ilfnrh 1-Iigh Srhnnl 1534 Ghaki ilgauh 7 ug Lillian Muriel Edmands Commercial. Vi'ith her boyish smile and steady good nature, she strides into our hearts and interests. Lillian can uphold the honor of the fair sex in any and all sports. She has the necessary qualities to take her happily through life. Sabino Peter Farese College. Football 2, 3, 43 French Club. Another white squash seed gone to its reward! It's hard- ly out of sight when a pleasing sound, known as humming, em- anates from this boy. The squash seed wasn't responsible: neither was the boy. 'Twas just the way Samrnie liked them. Subtle? Yes-but we'll tell you-Sammie loved to eat squash seeds. Francis John Finn Commercial. We still wonder why Finn was always absent. However, he is one person who never deserves the minded, so often added after a person is said to be ab- sent. He worked hard both in school. and out, but still had time for fun. Francis joseph Fitzpatrick Commercial. Baseball 2, 3, 4. W'ho doesn't know Fitzie? In his four years of High School, he has made himself known to everyone. I-le doesntt have to try much, either. His comical imitations of famous people are enough to lure friends around him. Elizabeth Jeannette Foley Commercial. A quiet little girl who has been with us for the past four years. She hails from a neigh- boring village called North Bell- ingharn. Our best wishes for success as a beautician go out to her, for with her broad, democratic, and sociable nature, she is bound to succeed. John Ben Gattoni Commercial. That good things come in small packages is well proved to us by this cheery youngster. His play- ing in the orchestra and as bugler in the Milford Boys' Band contributed their share in making our contacts with him as favor- able as they are. Arthur Frank Glatky Commercial. As a shrewd business man, Arthur has won his place in the mercantile world. In the class room he always liked to enter into discussions. and could he persuade one to think as he did? Carmelina Marie Gogliormella College. Dramatic Club 3, 43 French Club. Remember that popular song, lVhere's El'me'r? Well, that applies to this particular girl. Whenever we needed sympathy or cheer, or wished sound advice, we looked for Carmine. She was always on hand with her sym- pathetic understanding and gen- uine good nature. 2.-If 15341 ilfnrifili-Iigh Srhnul 1534 ak! ilgernh 7 ug Laura Marie Grilln College. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. This must be Laura's motto. She always takes the lion's share of work. Unlike most people, the bread of idleness is ashes in her mouth and Duty has a sweeter call than Destiny. Kathryn Elizabeth Hayes College. Dramatic Club 3, 43 Oratorical Contest, French Club, A quiet restful person whose common sense is likely to ac- complish more than a casual ob- server would expect. Unfortun- ately for the rest of us, Kath- ryn's intimate friend claims the greater share of her time. Oh! Kathryn is our pet-fancier-wit- ness her essay about Dogs. Kenneth Ray Howard College. Chairman Senior Week Com- mittee, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 Football 2, 3, 43 French Club. We found Ken to be a fun- loving, happy-go-lucky boy whose interests ranged from athletics to music. Being the center on the football team, he was then centered in the orchestra and in both lines proved himself cap- able and efficient as he did in his class-room efforts. Dorothy Louise Jackson College. Dramatic 3, 43 French Club, Senior Week Committee. Diminutive only in size, Dot has obtained a very creditable scho- lastic standing which is the envy of many of us. You wouldn't exactly call her boisterous, would you? The report is that she will be a teacher icther in Latin or French. Maybe we'll start going to school again, William Raymond jacques College. Science Club 43 Oratorical Contest: Manager Baseball 4. No one seems to exemplify the average American boy quite so well as Jakie. With a hearty handclasp and enthusiastic greet- ing, he was a welcome addition to any group. All hail, good fellow, well met! 1 Anna Mary Kalenda College. French Club, Senior Week Committee. She is practical and industri- ous. Take a pattern, girls! How she could recite French, and do you remember the day we persuaded her to sing a solo? She is a fast thinker and renders pertinent answers before the rest of us have registered the ques- tion. Arthur joseph Kenney College. Book Committee, Science Club 45 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. It is indeed one of the pleas- ant phases of our school-day career to remember Art. He is known to the athletic world as one of the greatest High school pitchers, but to us as a gentle- man and scholar unaffected by the praises which he so consci- entiously merited. Marjorie Louise Kennelly Commercial. Book Committee. Again we wish to let you in on a secret. Do you wish to know Marge's favorite college? Well, if she is asked, her face will not become red, but brown. Have we told you? Well, if you haven't guessed-give up and meet Marge. our idea of the per- fect hostess. 2,5 1534 illtlilfnrh ltligh Svrhnnl 1934 ali! ilgnnnh ' ug George Everett Kilburn College. Who would suspect that a little man could have a heart so great within, especially since he does not advertise himself at all? His fondness for reading will be clearly shown to him who con- verses with Georgie. Maybe he'1l be an author. VVho knows? Roy Irving Knox College. Book Committee: Science Club 3, 4: German Club. Opportunity Knox but once on Roy's door. It doesn't have to knock again. He has the fore- sight to grasp it at its first ap- pearance. He's a good worker, too, and finishes successfully any- thing he starts. He represents our three r's -Ready-Rely ablc-fftoy. Irene Anna Kosciak Commercial. Book Committee 3 Dramatic Club 3, 4, Dance Committee 4, Senior Week Committee. All hail to our prophetess! We know that your paths will be strewn with roses, Irene, for the crystal has told us so. And we are glad for your sweet dispo- sition deserves the rich reward which Fate holds in store for you. Mary Elizabeth Lawless College. French Club. Beth is a girl with decided favorites. After much effort, we sifted some out to present to you. She is especially fond of lobster salad and roses. Her favorite occupations are memorizing reg- istration plates on cars and watching crowds at busy street corners. We hope to meet you often, Beth. ?j:5esa'jrr -j - - J.. Dorothy Rose Lawson College. Science Club 45 Dramatc Club 3, 4, Senior Week Committee. Dottie Rose is one of our most popular members. We are sorry that she likes California better than this section of the country, but she may change her mind so that we can still enjoy the pleasure of her company. Doris Etta Lutz Commercial. Senior Week Committee. Here are a few remarks passed by the Class of 1934 about Dorrie: A very likeable girl. I think she's great. ISD do We.D lsn't she cute? I wish I had her telephone number. Robert Paul Magee College. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 French Club. Br-1'-r-r. Tbere's the bell, but where is he? Quite sure that he's feeling O. K., as usual, to- day. Oh yes. here he comes waving a slip from the office. His recitations will have all the dig- nity of a student-if only he doesn't sneeze. james Alfred Malnati Commercial. Perhaps you have noticed a very quiet, almost bashful, young man with brown eyes and a ready smile. Thatis Jimmy. Nobody, however sudden his re- quest, has ever been left in trouble by Jimmie. His favorite snort was making people believe he and Bodio were brothers. 1934 I ilfnrh 74 igh Svrlinnl 1534 shift! ,mth Jug Beatrice Marcus Commercial. Dramatic Club 3, 4. Here's a wizard at imitations, She can mock anything from Mickey Mouse to-oh, anything. I wonder if she can give Tarzan's call. Shes a good speaker, and just as good in listening. That is saying something! Jennie Teresa Mazzone Commercial. 'When you talk to her, watch how her lips curl in a delightful smile. Does she get angry when you ask for a favor? No. Does she refuse? No. Is it carelessly done? No. Want our opinion of her? VVe're mighty glad she's in the Class of '34. Frances Veronica McCarthy Commercial. Frances has the one motto, Speech is silver: silence is golden. But her few kind words and open heart have surpassed her silence. Her presence any- where just gives that confidence which would otherwise be lack- ing. Robert Edward McGinnis College. Senior Week Committee g French Club. Have you ever seen Bob with- fut his grin? We haven't. He carries it with him in the class- room, in the theatre, on the street-oh, everywhere. He caus- es many of the serious members of our class to wish for that cheery disposition which he so proudly demonstrates. Carolyn Eva Merrilees College, Senior Week Committee g French Club. Merrilees certainly is the prop- er name for her. Like any healthy girl, she is fond of fun and happiness. She is our out- standing example of why you should eat your spinach. for like Popeye , she puts a vigorous punch into her work and suc- ceeds where others fail. Irene Anne Michaloski Commercial. Another reason why We like North Bellingham is Lilly, Her four years with us have con- vinced one and all that the two towns have something in com- mnn in which we take a justifi- able pride. Louis Edward Milani Commercial. Baseball 2, 3, 4. Chink holds his own in any field of endeavor. He converses well, studies sufliciently, and pitches good baseball. He can adapt himself to any mood cor- VSSD0DdiI1g to that of the one with whom he is associated at the time. This makes him a true friend and companion to all. Josephine Anna Morcone Commercial. A The elements are very mixed in- her. and yet she's wondrous wise. She completes everything she undertakes with a smile. We predict a happy, helpful future in whatever profession she choos- es. 1934 ilfnrh High School 1934 ak! flganh 7 ug John james Morelli Commercial. The class as a whole owes the deepest alfection to Johnnie. He was unable to continue at school, but he didn't give up the class. He has carried on the work coni- pletely at home. and we are in- expressibly hvnored to have him graduated with us. YVe can all profit from the lesson he has taught us. Carroll Leonard M osher College. Senior XVeek Committee: Or- chestra 1, 2, 3, 45 Football 2, 3, 4: German Club. Carroll is never at odds with anyone-a fact which is account- able tu his well-developed per- snality. Yvhether it was on the football squad or on the class- room, he was always there , A regular fellow on a regular team with a regular class makes all things-regular. Margaret Catherine Naughton Commercial. Margaret always has had the intercst of the class at heart. However, she never went around with a long face worrying over us. She was, is, and will be an optimist who takes care of the future. William Gregory O'Donne11 College. Book Committee 3 Oratorical Contest: Orchestra 1, 2. 3, 4. Bill is our class Salutatorian, and he also is the most convinc- ing debater in our class. Due to an interest in affairs of public in- terest, he does a great deal of outside reading. Further, he loves nature, so that with his natural and forensic ability, we forsee him in a position of na- tional importance in days to come. Edward john O'Neill College. Few of us have ever probed the inner man of Mickey. There lies within him thc quality that wrfikrs one at true scholarfthe desire to study for the sake of study itself. Mickey knows the jiv which is forthcoming to one who becomes acouainfed with the characters of the printed page and that it is they who are one's friends forever. Antonio Frank Pavento Cammercial. Thoughtful, yet easy-going, a lover of fun and common sense, Antwnio is a chap from whom we could always be sure of receiv- ing an intelligent response. In Shart, he is a first rate com- pinion. Robert Austin Philbin College. Book Committee: Science Club 3 4: Dramatic Club 3, 4: Or- chestra l, 2 3, Leader 43 French Club. If anyone wants to know any- thing about music, just ask Bob. He is one of our most musical bfys-ho plays several instru- ments well. He is quiet, intelli- gent, dependable, ambitious, and has a winning personality. These qualities insure him a suc- cessful future. George William Porter College. Dance Cominitteeg Senior YVeek Committee: French Club. Like a preying hawk, Georges big frame swooped on an 013- panent on the gridiron. lVhen we saw him meandering about the school. we feared he was naiscliief bent, but he usually ended up in harmless conversa- tion with some pretty damsel in the corridor. 1534 ' ilfnrh 1'-Iigh Srhnnl 1534 ak.ZIflg,m1h 7 ug Florence Eleanor Porzio Commercial. If you ever want the blues chased away, or would like a good criticism of yourself, we refer you to Flo. She's quite versatile and we feel sure that her first trial will not be a fail- ure no matter what she under- takes. It is certain that her school life has been successful. Maurice Pressman College. Senior Week Committeeg Ger- man Clubg Oratorical Contest. What? You can't answer that problem? Go to Mush, he knows all the answers. Although he carried a hard course, he bore it with a broad grin and reached a very high average. He must have been born on a day when all the lucky stars were shining. Robert Garden Rae College. Dance Committee 1 French Club: Senior Week Committee. Bob is one of our natural car- toonistsg he used to draw more tfhan he would listen, but would always have some remark ready when he was observed. He de- lighted in humorously entertain- ing us with explanations of his own mistakes. Just look at the class tabulation and you will note the reason for his popular- ity. Eben Sumner Reynolds College. Book Committeeg Science Club 3, 45 French Clubg Football 2, 3, 45 Baseball 2, 3, 4, Dance Committee. If we were to select from our class the member who knew just how to act at the proper time, we would select Zeke-no pun in- tended, either. Be it inside our halls, outside in the diamond, in public or in private, he was ever on the alert to captivate us with his likeable personality. f ' fifrf? .

Senior Week Committee 3 French Club. Marjorie's easy-going manner and willingness to help have won for her too, a bright spot in our aliections. She was always care- free. smiling, and endowed with the faculty of bringing good cheer. Her optimism before exams and ability to change the subject gained for her our ever- lasting good wishes. Alice Leonore Roy College. French Club. Although she will be unable to sing at her own wedding, we wish her the best of joy and happiness for many years to come. james Frederick Ruhan Commercial. Are you looking for an ex- cuse or an alibi? See Ruhan. l-le must know a million. He knows when to use them and when not to use them. He doesn't believe in overworking, but does manage to get by. Theresa Marie Ruscitti College. It is impossible to gain an ade- quate idea of Theresa's own self through the medium of any ex- isting circle in school. She forms no group, and always has a gentle greeting for everyone. Hers are the qualities which makel one foresighted and loyal to a . SQ-,ii 12134 milfnfh E-Iigh Srhnnl 4 1534 ak! f1g,6t1TlI ' ug Jean Frances Sails College. Dramatic Club 3. 4: Senior YVeek Committee. Who saw Jo in Little Women without thinking of Jean? She strolls along as carefree as a school boy playing hookey and keeps your thoughts sailing to other countries by letters she receives from Japan and Ger- many. As she slides down the bannister of lite. she will greet everyone with Chris-to-pher Co- lum-bus. John Louis Salvia College. Ten minutes of Jackie's com- pany will cure the most desper- ate case of hypochondria. There's a whole-hearted comaradie in the fellow that makes proverbial mole hills of our dark sierras, whatever their origin. Laura Rose, Sannicandro Commercial. Laura isn't a buoyant person. Her spirits need hearty encour- agement and constant applica- tions of good cheer before they perk up. But after she proceeds, we admire such wise deliberation. Minnie Nora Serrano Commercial. Dramatic Club 3, 4. YVhen she comes to a crowd of people, she brings smiles to their faces. YVhen she leaves, there are still traces of happi- ness in their countenances. This is in anticipation of another meeting. She breaks a bubble of trouble with just one little touch of cheer. What a girl Z its wp 59? ,, Y-T. f 4 ., , 9 I 934 , 3: 3 j fi Robert David Sherman Commercial. Robert was at one time called Tecurnseh. However unlike the famous general, he is not warlike. but very friendly. XYhen you see a black head, way up above a bicycle, that's the general. He is well known, well- liked, and well-behaved-three necessary attributes to success. Amy D orothy Smith College. Book Committee g Class Vice- President: Oratorical Contest g Dramatic Club 4 3 French Club. Possessed of a modest manner and friendly charm, our Amie has, like the springtime, Won the coveted spot in our hearts. We like to think of her as we read poetry and as we wander among the roses in our garden. But not there only, but always, as the beauty and signidcance of our four years with her have given us cherished memories forever and aye. Amy is Valedic- torian of our class. Marjorie Beatrice Smith College. Dramatic Club 3, 45 Senior YVeek Committee. She'll walk with you, talk with you, joke with you. She wants to be your friend, though she doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve. Marj is the girl who wants to do big things in Science. We think she will. for her per- severance says so. Melvin Cromwell Streeter Commercial. YVho's that suspicious looking character sneaking into school? Oh, that's only Melvin going to get his slip for being late again. However, when one stops to think of his long walk from South Mil- ford, all is explained and for- given.

You must admit, folks, that she has a most altable disposition of any one of us, She's jaunty and active and is just bubbling over with enthusiasm. She has pep, vim, and vigor and has a happy faculty of communicating it, too. Mario George Tessicini Commercial. Quite a paradox is Mario. He can be quiet, noisy, industrious, and indolent-and all at once. Yet he has developed into being a good sport and for him we say 'Hurrah . John Samuel Thompson College. Baseball 43 Senior Week Com- mittee. One of the most difhcult posi- tions for a boy is to come to a town as a total stranger. But Tommie fitted in just as if he had always been here.

No, she isn't Sherlock Holmes' assistant, but by her ability to write stories and es- says she certainly could create a character as interesting as did Conan Doyle. Her recitations were always correct, and really, she is very calm. Mary Elizabeth Webber College Science Club 45 Cheerleader 3, 4g Dance Committee: Senior Week Committee. Station M, H.

It is truly the earnest desire of this humble scribe to awaken in the reader a conception of the purposes and aims of this paper, the Oak, Lily, and Ivy, which was launched so bravely and enthusiastically by the members of the class of 1884 under the guidance of their beloved principal, Herbert W. Lull. The reader, particularly if he is a member of one of the more recent classes of the Milford High School, will undoubtedly observe the introduction to this section with some surprise. The cover has been reproduced from earlier issues in order that the reader may have some idea of the former signifi- cance of the name. Here are repro- duced the oak, denoting strengthg the lily, purityg and the ivy, tenacity. Coupled with the poetical quotations introduced into the first issue of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy, this heading must describe the aims of that class of 1884 and without a doubt those of suc- ceeding classes. It may interest you to know the plan of the first copies of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. This paper had four pages in- cluding twelve columns and was pub- lished monthly by the Senior class. Herein were found editorials and per- sonals- under this head the editors are desirous of stating all facts that may be of interest to the alumni and friends of the school. We shall be es- pecially thankful for items concerning the older members who have left Mil- ford -in locals, and Exchanges and Scissors. In this form the paper met with such a hearty response that it won the praise of the Woonsocket Evening Repo1 te1', which stated :- lt gladdens the editorial heart to see the boys and girls of our High schools adopting the best possible means of instructive diversion-the school paper. The Senior class of the Milford High School are issuing the handsomest and perhaps best specimen of a school newspaper we have seen-the Oak, Lily, and Ivy-a little monthly with twelve columns, seven editors, and a novel ad- vertising feature? Again, one must turn to the first issue of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy to see the following message, which is repre- sentative of the aim of future boards of editors: Many of our High schools at the present day issue papers of their own, and not to be outdone by them, we venture to offer to the public the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. May we be no more moved by the storm of criticism which the new departure will probably arouse than is the oak by the wind whose strength is vainly exerted in attempting to uproot itg may our patrons resemble the ivy, clinging to us through fair weather and foulg and let us all take for our motto the lily's signification and cultivate purity of language, action, and thought. This will not be a political paper. We have no political editor, and shall enter upon no discussion of vital inter- est in the countryg neither will it be a commercial paper, for our column will not be filled with quotations from the market, although from the advertise- 1934 l Hiilfnrh 1-Iigh Srhnnl 1934 43 lb ala? ilg,amh 7 ug ments it contains, our readers can ascertain where purchases may be most profitably made. Its aim is simply to give some idea of what we are doing, and to enable us to obtain experience which may be of use to us in after life. We trust it will bring us into closer re- lation with those who feel an interest in the school, especially the alumni. It will be the earnest desire and endeavor of the present board of edi- tors to make the paper a success, but to do this we must have support-if we re- ceive more than enough to pay the costs. the surplus will be devoted to a class fund which will be used to make the school room more attractive and to add to the collections in our cabinets. We invite communications from scholars, graduates, and all others interested in the school. From a monthly paper of twelve columns described above, the Oak, Lily, and Ivy in the early twenties changed to a yearly magazine of increased size, published by the Senior class. It was known from this time as a Commence- ment number. Herein were published editorials, essays, short stories, poetry, and reports of the various school clubs. There were very few pictures except of the graduating class and of the High school. Then in 1933 came what is appro- priately termed the New Deal. With this issue the magazine blossomed forth with individual pictures and with many more pictures of school activities. In addition, the magazine again derived its support from the patronage of local merchants and friends of the school, whose generosity and public spirit have enabled us to continue in this endeavor. From 1933 one turns to 1934, which marks the fiftieth year of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. To us, the publishers of this issue, this magazine will ever be a treas- ured possession even as it has been to our predecessors. With a final wish for the future success of this chronicle of our schooldays, this account is ended. 96- 66 16- -X 96 To the older graduates, and to the friends of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy, the following messages will surely prove of particular interest, to us, they are an inspiration to continue their good work, which for nearly half a century has flourished with the interest of its pub- lishers. From Herbert W. Lull, former prin- cipal of the Milford High School, we are indebted for the following com- munication: Your letter of March 23 carried me back to my first high school princi- palship C1880-18903, and a host of mem- ories crowds upon me. They are more or less vague as they are nearly a half- century old. Unfortunately last autumn I re- moved from scrap books everything per- taining to the Milford decades and for- warded the same to the High School Library. 'KI do recall designing the 'heading' of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. At least one of the 'Exchanges' called it effeminate. As I was indebted for it to the coat of arms of the great Glad- stone, I was not much troubled. To Gilbert Moses Billings, a graduate of 1869, publisher of the Mil- ford Gazette, the editors were constant- ly indebted for suggestions, extra help, and personal pride in the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. Also Caroline M. Hart CHolbrookJ, class of 1880, who was proof reader for many years, deserves thanks for her careful reading and constructive criti- cisms. Of course the Oak, Lily, and Ivy could not have existed without the sup- port of the merchants and the profes- wafzl Hiilfnrh 31-ugly Srhnnl 12134 44 ak.7flg,a11il 1 ug sional men of the town, for the sub- scriptions alone were insufficient. I look back on my ten years in Milford with great satisfaction due to the ever growing enrolment in the High school, to the support of the citizens, and to many delightful friendships with pupils and graduates, and to social functions. Alas, fifty years have enrolled so many in the choir invisible that these memories of 1880-1890 are tinged with sorrow as well as with pleasure. Yours truly HERBERT W. LULIJ' The following messages are from members of the Class of 1885: I think of no better way to eX- press my loyalty to our School Maga- zine than by paying a belated tribute to its first editor, the late Inez L. Gay, who under the guidance of our be- loved principal, Herbert W. Lull, suc- ceeded in bringing a small town paper to the recognition of some of the College Reviews. Throughout her life, her interest was in Milford High School, and in the words of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy was 'Full of the deepest truest thought, doing the very things she ought.' WINONA CHALED JoNEs From Harry P. Crosby of Spring- dale, Pennsylvania, the following has been received: I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your recent letter. I do not think that I can write anything that would be authenic about the difficulties en- countered in the management of the 'Oak, Lily, and Ivy' at its inception. Fifty years is a long while to look back. I am somewhat surprised that the paper has existed for so long a time, and I wonder if that is not a record of some kind, particularly in High school papers. 'KI am rather inclined to congratu- late particularly the several manage- ments that have made this possible. Do you know that as I look at our High school of the 1880's, I believe we had a school that compared very cred- itably with the modern schools? I was very much hurt when the old wooden building was destroyed by iire. Par- ticularly as it was equipped with 'physical apparatus' such as is rarely seen in many modern colleges. Par- ticularly I remember a gyroscopic ar- rangement of the solar system that I have never seen anywhere since. not know that I have any- I do thing else of interest to write about at this time. I would like to be remem- bered to such members of the class of 1885 whom you may endeavor to meet. I have planned to attend the an- nual meeting of the alumni in 1935, and I hope I may be able to carry out my plans. Thanking you for writing me, I remain Yours very truly HARRY P. CROSBY CM. H.

My own contribution to the paper consisted in securing as many paid subscriptions as possible, but as a High school pupil, and as a member of the class of '85, I was always proud of the success of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. 2.-H 1934 Hlilfnrh llligh sfhnnl 15:2-.4 45 Clash! ilgwrlth flag lt was a good school paper, well written, and well edited under the guid- ance of Mr. Lull.

The past sixteen months constitute one of the most momentous periods in the history of the United States. Never before have so many widely significant events occurred in America. We have been living in a time of stress and storm, with our country struggling in the disastrous waves of the great de- pression. Vast experiments in business have been performed, new ideas and principles of government have been broachedg precedents and traditions have been cast aside. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated President in March, 1933. our country was in a state of chaos. For three and one-half years we had experienced a depression in businesss such as was never known before, touch- ing every department of human in- dustry, reaching every corner of the land, and involving every American citizen. No other presidential term ever commenced amid so dangerous a crisis. The darkest winter since the Civil War had just ended. Fifteen mil- lion men and women were dependent upon an uncertain public charity. Trade had reached the point of stagnation. Every bank in the land was closed. Our medium of exchange was paralyzed, and business was about to collapse. I Equally as gloomy as the actual depression was the dejected public morale. The American people, discour- aged by the length and intensity of the hard times, had lost much of their for- mer coniidence in the government. For the first time in our history the aver- age citizen was sceptical of the efficacy of democratic institutions. A fog of despair seemed to settle upon the country, and melancholy prophets pre- dicted that the end of our republic was close at hand. In addition to the troubles in America, President Roose- velt assumed oflice when international affairs were more distressing than at any time since the world War. The growth of Communism and Fascism, the advent of dictators, the threat of wars in Europe and Asia, the failure of plans for world peace all added to the difficulties that beset the President. The last hope of the American people was the new President. He was their leader. They knew him, and they trusted him. In him they had placed their faith. Mr. Roosevelt was de- termined that he would lead the people out of the slough of despond. He was unwilling to see America overwhelmed by economic disaster. The emergency which confronted the President called for a planned pro- gram of recovery and reform. The underlying causes of the depression Y 12:34 I milfnrh 1-Iigh Srhnnl 1 iam ak! flgauh 7 ug could be traced back for fifty years. So critical a situation could not be cured in one week, one month, or one year. It could be cured only by a complete re-organization of American life. Fundamental changes had to be made in our industry, our agriculture, our commerce, and our government. President Roosevelt's policy, known as the New Deal, was presented as a remedy for our ills. The purpose of the New Deal is twofold: to end the depression and to establish social justice in America. President Roosevelt's program is a gigantic attempt to reconstruct the United States. The New Deal is more than a mere turnover in politics. It is a belief in social planning, planning for every department of life in the country. The aim of our President is to improve living conditions, to give every man the right and opportunity to work, and to create a new and better America. The New Deal was not merely a euphonious phrase. Action was the keynote of Roosevelt's policy. The New Deal was instituted on March 4, 1933, and within a few months it had been translated into a series of laws designed to extricate America from the abyss of economic ruin. For years the voters of America had been seeking a capable leader, a leader courageous enough to initiate needed reforms. In Roosevelt they found a statesman who possessed this capacity for swift action. President Roosevelt's first task was to meet the extraordinary banking crisis. In his first undertaking he was com- pletely successful. He saved the banks and the entire financial system of the United States. Within two weeks after his inauguration most banks had resumed business. One of the funda- mental aims of the New Deal was to bring about a new relationship be- tween the banks and the people of this country. Therefore Roosevelt not only restored the banking system to a sound condition, but formulated measures to prevent the recurrence of such evils in the future and to guarantee deposits. The vigorous action displayed by the President in reopening the banks quieted the panic-stricken people and restored their confidence. The improvement of conditions in agriculture was one of the most difii- cult problems for the New Deal to solve. The settlement of the agrarian ques- tion, a long-standing source of discon- tent in our country, called forth all the skill of President Roosevelt. He be- lieved that there should be a definite program to meet the problems concern- ing production, marketing, and the use of land in general, a national plan to relieve the pressure of mortgages and to restore purchasing power to the farmers. The Agricultural Adjustment Act, enacted by Congress with little op- position, was the result of a deep study of the farm problem. The influence of the New Deal was extended to finance when the Securities Act was adopted. In the past, honest families often suffered much misery be- cause they had invested in speculative securities masquerading under the name of investments. Men are entitled to know the whole truth about the stocks and bonds they buy. In the future, fewer people will lose the savings of a lifetime by innocently investing in un- sound securities. The New Deal has ended the private exploitation of other people's money. The N R A is one of the main pil- lars supporting the structure of Presi- dent Roosevelt's program. This re- markable act gave employment to a mil- lion people, raised wages, and prevented the suicidal competition in business which had been so harmful to our pros- perity. It brought about a sincere co- operation between American business and the American public in contrast to 231934 I milfnrn Eliligh srhnnl 1 12134 49 wg ak! ilg,a11il 7 ug the discord that existed previously. The N R A marked the beginning of a new epoch in our economic lifeg an epoch during which business men and indus- trialists must act fairly as well as legal- lyg an era during which dishonest prac- tices by the unscrupulous minority must be outlawed. Speaking of the N R A, President Roosevelt himself said, His- tory probably will record the National Industrial Recovery Act as the most im- portant and far-reaching legislation ever enacted by the American Con- gress. At the present time the depression is by no means over: millions of people are yet to be saved. Nevertheless, the future of America is now brighter than at any time in five years. Reports from all sections of the country give evidence of an improvement in business condi- tions. Credit for this progress is en- tirely due to the New Deal instituted by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The action and wisdom shown by our chief ex- ecutive lead many to believe that the man of destiny has been found. Presi- dent Roosevelt's administration is a shining epoch in our history, for he is making his name illustrious by great achievements. President Roosevelt has a vision of the future of America under the New Deal. We have every reason to believe that there are cheerful prospects in store for us in the time to come: our natural resources are without parallelg our people are intelligent and progres- siveg our civilization is the marvel of the modern world. Within the reach of the American people is a prosperity far greater than the so-called prosperity of the past. We have but to stretch out an arm to grasp it. When we attain that new prosper- ity, child labor, the sweatshop, the city slum, and the still worse country slum will disappear. There will be fair hours and living wages for all who work, and security for the old and unemployed. Every child in the land will have a chance to be prepared for life and to grow up to a happy and healthy ma- turity. There will be no more selfish, will- ful waste of our nation's wealth. There will be a higher standard of living for all of us, and America will be a better place in which to live. In the East and the West, in the city and the country, thousands will learn, for the first time, that life can be enjoyed. This expectation which the Presi- dent holds out to us is not the idle hope of an impractical idealist. It is emin- ently sound and reasonable. We can realize it if we adopt the new policies which are being presented after the collapse of the old theories. The re- deemed America of the New Deal is as inevitable as tomorrow's dawn. When that day comes, our nation will rise to the high destiny it was designed to ful- fil. - WILLIAM G.

Even Jerry was aghast at the first glimpse of the dingy little cafe. His mouth opened further to speak, but he held his tongue and just looked. I told you she worked in a joint, his companion said moodily. Honest, Jer, if I'd a known what you intended to do, I'd never told you where Sally worked. I thought seeing you used to know her - That's just it! Jerry stiffened his shoulders and hardened his pleasant mouth. When I knew her, she couldn't see me for a flock of tenements. She was Miss McGann, daughter of a big shot politician, and I was just lil' Jerry, the post oiiice clerk. Yeah, when I had the nerve to ask her to go to a movie with me and she turned me down and went with 'Mother's Boy' Clarence, what a razzing I got from the gang! They didn't quit for over a week, and I have- n't forgotten it, see? But gee, the other protested, the kid's down on her luck like lots of other big shots. I don't see Why you wanter show her up. Jerry waved him away absently. He was watching the white-clad waitresses inside the low-ceilinged room, trying ry , ? 1: 1 .I 'K 3 V Qi wi at ' L 1-' 6,4 i. . QT1 Q3 A - a.1eg.i.i i vi. jij, M X. ' A r , I 3 - rf '11,--, 1 ' A. 4 to single out the Sally he used to know. It was hard to pick out her winsome prettiness in that dingy place. He saw her, finally, leaning back with evident fatigue against the wall, her eyes closed. At the sight of her, something painfully compelling darted through his body. How she'd changed! Gone all the arrogance and smart brit- tleness that had characterized Sally Mc- Gann. Now she was like a million other worn, palefaced girls, with the stamp of fear etched deeply on their weary faces. It was an eifort to walk into the cafe, as if this were a casual dropping in. Jerry did it though, studiously avoiding a glance in her direction, while still making a direct move for her table. Very carelessly he tossed his new dark overcoat over a chair, taking care that the label from an expensive store should show. She'd see that even postoffice clerks could live-and live decently Cand they didn't go up one day and down the nextj. Without looking at her directly, Jerry knew she saw him. He felt the start she gave as if she'd been touching him with her little reddened hand. Then somehow, he forgot for a moment the bitter feeling of revenge that brought him there. The kid had nerve all right. Another girl probably would have slipped away before he saw her and 1934 I Hlilfnril nigh sfhnni y wr-.4 51 wg ak! ilgmttth 7 ug asked another girl to take her place. It had been done before. But not Sally. He saw her straight- en up and walk slowly to his side. Something in him burned hotly for a moment. He felt the sting of tears be- hind his lids. Say! He wasn't going soft, was he? That momentary softness made him all the more cruel when, finally, he looked up and pretended to see her for the first time. It made his lips twist in a sneer that said more than his hard eyes. I'll have- Then with a pretended start of surprise, he grinned. Well, look who's here! He was supposed to go on from there. He had planned it all out. The very words, gestures, and everything to put this Sally McGann in her place. Just a common waitress in a cheap joint. Somehow- He stared up into her face, and his tongue stuck in the roof of his mouth. Go on, say it, she said huskily, her lovely bright eyes blinking rapidly. Jerry saw her lips quiver, try as she would to steady them. Go on. Rub it in well. I deserve it. His hands trembled, holding the dirty thumb-marked menu. Something deep in his breast throbbed and beat horribly. It made it hard for him to breathe properly. Without actually seeing it, he knew she was trembling, too. Her hand, grasping at the back of a chair, showed white and rough. Poor little work-red- dened hand! Jerry caught himself up, dragged his eyes from her face somehow, and bent over the menu. The words ran all together in a meaningless line. He was conscious of a frown gathering on his forehead. Ham and eggs, he mumbled, and without lifting his eyes, he saw her as she turned and walked he raised his head. She slowly down the aisle be- tween the tables, her head lifted, her thin shoulders stiff. Again that swift dart of pain, and suddenly Jerry wanted to get out of there and run. Run anywhere away from the sight of Sally-like this. With almost a groan he bent his head, hid- ing suspicious moisture under a shield- ing hand. How could he have known that he loved her? All these months, hating her, feed- ing his soul on the revenge that would be his. And now, with it in his hand- discovering it was love. What a fool! What a sap he turned out to bel Someone came and put a dish in front of him, and without seeing the girl he knew it wasn't Sally. He looked up swiftly, a nameless fear clutching at his heart. Where is she? he demanded of che strange girl. Y'mean Sally? the waitress nod- ded over her shoulder. She did a pass out in the kitchen. She ain't been any too well .... She gaped wide-mouthed at the sight of the well dressed young fellow making a dash for the door to the kitchen. He made it in two seconds flat, even pushing aside the sputtering manager and a greasy cook. Where is she? he yelled, staring wild-eyed about the smoky kitchen. Where is she? He saw her, leaning against the wall, pulling a shapeless hat on her head, while her lips trembled. Her eyes were haunted, pitiful. Yet when she saw him, she tried to run. SallyI Please. He was barring her way, not daring yet to touch her hands, those poor little hands that used sway a little away. Then was walking 1934 Milfurh 1-Iigh Svrhnnl I 1534 5 2 ak? flgasruh 7 ug to be so soft and white. Let me take you home? The other waitress had thoughtful- ly brought his hat and coat to him, curiosity in her eyes. Thought you might need 'em again, she said dryly, knowing he hadn't heard a word she said. And, when he handed her a bill, she took it and scuttled away. Anyway, she reas- oned, it was worth the change-what she'd done for him. Tenderly, Jerry helped Sally on with her shabby coat, his hand linger- ing on her shoulders. Gently, he led her out into the cold night air, his arm sup- porting her. She hadn't said a word. He hailed a cab and put her in. It was warm and comfortable. Jerry knew then that she was crying hard, tearing sobs that hurt. Sally, don't do that. He had his arms around her, and her thin cheek was pressed against his shoulder. A feeling of such contentment that he had never known came to rest in Jerry's heart. Jerry - His name was on her lips. I was-terrible to you. A smile of happiness spread over his face. That was a long time ago. He tilted her chin deliberately. If she let him kiss her, he knew suddenly, deep in his heart, he'd die content. Sally, would you mind-being nice to me now? For the first time he saw her eyes and the sight of what was in them daz- zled him so that his first kiss landed wildly on her nose. But the second one ..... My sweet, he whispered unstead- ily, and began to wonder whether he had pull enough to get a week's vaca- tion. ' MARJORIE SMITH, '34, X' SNOWSHOES IN PARADISE. How warm it was up here with the sun shining cozily down! How soft it was, too, riding on the back of the White Elephant Cloud. Snowshoes de- cided everything was just right for a bath. Acting upon his decision, he pro- ceeded to lap his long grey fur until it gleamed in the sunlight like the Mis- t1ess's silver. To Snowshoes' immense satisfaction there was no wind to blow his whiskers or rufHe his newly lapped fur. One double paw scrubbed his round little face, and his pink tongue proceeded to cleanse the rest of his fat body. As soon as his toilet was com- pleted, Snowshoes decided to sleep. Leaning his head on his front double paws Cthe obvious reason for his namej and curling his long grey tail snugly about him, he basked contentedly in the sun until sleep closed his willing blue eyes. How long he slept he never knew. He was wakened by the sort of feeling that an elevator produces in its swift upward flight. Up, up, up rose the White Elephant Cloud until it stopped abruptly at a pair of pearly gates. The White Elephant Cloud trurnpeted until the pearly gates opened. Then the Cloud grasped Snowshoes in his trunk and gently placed him within the gates. What a queer world, Snowshoes thought! No smell of earth, no breeze, no flowers, nothing to which he was ac- customed. But how pretty it was! Everything shone and glittered bril- liantly. Tall, crystal buildings, golden arches, and multi-colored houses were profusely built upon the glass streets. Snowshoes approached St. Peter's throne and gave his name, which was promptly checked off. A servant cat brought out some silver slippers and motioned Snowshoes to put them on. Next, Puss-In-Boots appeared and of- 2-,ll 1934 I miilfnfn align Srhnnl 15134 53 Q9ak,iffilg,a11h 7 ug fered to escort Snowshoes about until he became acquainted. But where am I, Puss-In-Boots? asked Snowshoes. Why, Snowshoes, this is Heaven, reserved for cats only. No dogs allowed and nothing to worry about, answered his guide. Oh, said Snowshoes, I didn't know where I was. You see, this Heaven-place seems so queer. Why, you can see Earth right through if the clouds don't get in the way. Our streets are rock and tar, and Earth is made of the nicest dirt. Yes, smiled Puss-In-Boots, I lived there, too, many years ago. Now look right in front of you. That is the fountain of warm flowing, and you want. This reminded hadn't eaten since He lapped and drank as much as he could hold and told Puss-In-Boots so. Yes, it is the best to be had. Now over there is the golden fence. You can sing there all night, and no one will trouble you. And here is something of even more interest to a country cat. A beautiful meadow of soft grasses Cand there are plenty of butterflies to chasel is always warm and sunny to play in. How delightful! sighed Snow- shoes. I've always wanted to chase butterfiies without the Mistress to stop me. They always serve rats for break- fast, Snowshoes. Over here is where the Comtesse prepares the breakfast. And who is the Comtesse? asked milk. It is always may have all you Snowshoes that he breakfast long ago. Snowshoes. 'fThe cat which the Comtesse Gio- vaniola-Turuso used to own. He learned to cook by watching her Italian chef. He is one of the most important of all the celestial peoplef' Rats for breakfast! Oh, I know I'll be happy here. Puss-In-Boots continued: You haven't seen the Alley yet. This is a place to keep city cats happy. Right through this fence, pal. What a sight met Snowshoes' eyes! Just the most beautiful Alley imagin- able! Shoes, boxes lined with soft things, carpets, and beds of pillow stuf- fing. Best of all was the open garbage cans containing the tastiest garbage Snowshoes had ever seen. Hundreds of cats played or slept or ate here. Snowshoes, said Puss-In-Boots suddenly, it is tea time. This is social hour, too. Come, let's be off to the court. I'll show you the celebrities. The two cats soon arrived at the court. Tea was served almost immedi- ately. A cup of tea even more delicious than Mistress makes, thought Snow- shoes, and the fattest catnip mouse he had even seen. While drinking their tea, the two cats were busily talking. 'fSee the two thrones? Well, the long black cat surrounded by his retinue of black servants is Iarara-Iris-Ranus. He was the Rajah's first wife's pet, more worshipped than any other cat in the kingdom. The other throne is oc- cupied by Queenie. That's the Queen of Sheba's pet kitten. Her blue-black fur and slanting eyes captured the Queen's heart, and she went everywhere with her mistress. A brown angora cat approached. She was very feminine and dainty and very ladylike. Puss-In-Boots introduced her as Mrs. Bob. On account of her bob-tail, whispered Puss. Hello, Snowshoes, said Mrs. Bob, I used to know your mother. My but you look like her. How is she and the dear old Earth, too? After tea, I'l1 take you up to the bird baths. Goodbye for now. Snowshoes saw her lovely bob- tail. It was so fuzzy that Snowshoes thought it looked like the Mistress' powder puff, only darker. 19134 I miifm-n align armani 15:34 ak! ilgmtltll 7 ug Puss pointed out another lady. That is Mrs. Cat-0-nine-tails, he explained. She is envied by most of the cats for her gorgeous plumes. Surely enough, they were beautiful plume-like tails. Nine whole ones, counted Snowshoes. See that group of lively kittens? Well, the one in the center is Heaven's most modern cat. He flew across the ocean and helped Lindy ily the machine. We call him Lindy. Oh, Hero! come here. Hero approached from the other side of the court, Tell my pal Snow- shoes here what you're famous for, Hero. Glad to see you, Snowshoes, smiled Hero. Really I didn't do any- thing wonderful. As you guessed from my ugly face, I used to chase dogs on Earth. One day a dog crashed the pearly gates, and I chased him out. That's all, but St. Peter thought it was wonderfulg so he gave me gold slippers in place of my silver ones. Look out, everybody! screamed a cat, and soon all the cats disappeared as a clutching hand hovered over the court. Everything turned topsy-turvy and backwards, up and down, as the hand slowly lifted Snowshoes to a pair of familiar arms. Snowshoes heard the voice of his Mistress as he snuggled down: Come, Snowshoes, dear. You've had enough catnip for one day. As Snowshoes lapped her hand and sighed contentedly, he thought so, too. DOROTHY JACKSON, '34, YQ! DISASTER. The giant Zeppelin 2-21, of the Hamburg-New York line, flying be- tween Europe and the United States, roared majestically into the darkness of the hot July night. The rays of the pale moon flickered about its huge egg- shaped frame and cast a grotesque shadow on the turbulent ocean many feet below. The throb of its twelve Diesel motors sounded not unlike the beating of the heart of a huge, dark bird of prey as it hovered between the dark clouds. The hot, oppressive darkness was pierced here and there by the cheerful rays of light issuing from the narrow windows of the gondola slung beneath the huge baloon. The interior of the gondola resembled the deck of the most modern ocean liner. The richly car- peted passageway, bordered on both sides by small cabins, led directly to the main saloon and the dining room. In cabin 38 B, John Harmon rest- ed his chin in his hand and peered mood- ily into the night. As he watched the coast of Ireland become a faint blur on the distant horizon, he thought that his troubles were over. In fifty hours at the utmost, he would land in America and begin life all over again. He had pulled off his last job. The wallet in the inside pocket of his double-breasted suit contained sixty thousand dollars, the loot stolen from the Banking Trust Company's safe. Harmon considered himself very fortunate. Although he had been forced to kill a night watch man, he had made a clean get away. The fact that an innocent man had been captured and stood ready to be convicted for his crime only added to his feeling of se- curity. He was traveling under an as- sumed name, and when English law had avenged itself on an innocent man, he would be at liberty to settle down and enjoy life. The clock on Harmon's table point- ed to the hour of two when he was rude- ly awakened by a violent lurch of the dirigible. He heard the ominous roll of thunder and the pelting of the rain on 1934 I fliiilfnril 1-Iigh Qrhnnl 19?-4 55 ak? ilg,a11h 71115 the sides of the air ship. Jagged streaks of angry lightning illuminated the cabin. The dirigible pitched and rolled in the terrible grasp of a violent ocean storm. The crash of steel and the rent of tearing fabric mingled with the frightened screams of panic-stricken passengers added to the terrifying as- pect of the scene about him. An insistent knock on the door of his cabin aroused Harmon from his frightened stupor. Struggling into his dressing gown he managed to cross the swaying floor and fling open the door. The white coated figure of the steward stood framed in the doorway. Captain's orders, sir. Everyone is to dress and come forward at once. Wha-what's the matter? stam- mered Harmon as he clutched the steward's sleeve. We're in desperate shape, replied the steward. Our rudder fin has been torn loose and we're drifting helpless- ly.', Then as he saw the look of ab- ject terror in Harmon's face, he hur- riedly added, But we've weathered worse storms than this, sir. Don't worry. We'll come out on top. With that he turned and hurried down the passageway. Harmon sank upon his berth in terror, and his trembling fingers made the task of dressing doubly difficult. Finally he was dressed, and making sure that his all-important wallet was in its proper resting place, he opened the door and staggered out into the cor- ridor that swayed and lurched with every fresh gust of wind that struck the dirigible. When Harmon arrived at the saloon, it was already filled with ter- rified passengers who, like himself, had been summoned by the steward's warn- ing. As he entered, an officer, wearing the insignia of a first mate, was trying to make himself heard above the din and confusion. Quiet, please! Quiet, he roared. Due to the loss of our steering ap- paratus, we may not be able to stay aloft in this storm much longer. We are doing our best to reach a vessel in the vicinity to stand by. We ask that all don life preservers and to stand by for the crash. These words struck Harmon's ears like the knell of doom. He realized that his life was drawing to a close just when he had obtained everything with which to enjoy it. The lurch of the craft hurled him against the wall of the room, and he dropped helplessly into a seat beside a fellow passenger. Har- mon, noticing the calm attitude of his companion, regained some of his cour- age. It can't be as bad as they make out. Why, these big things can ride out any storm, Harmon addressed him. Listen, you fellow, his companion replied, when they admit they're in bad shape, make up your mind that it's twice as bad. It doesn't seem possible that we can stay aloft another hour. Then it's all over, said Harmon, his fear returning. I guess you're right, replied the latter, it's in a jam like this that a fel- low wishes he had led a better life. But I can face my Creator without whining, live never harmed anyone in my life. His last remark brought Harmon to his feet. You mean you're not afraid to die? Turning toward him, the other answered, Why should I be? I've lived an honest and upright life. This made Harmon review his own life. All the crimes he had committed paraded before him. All the laws of God and man that he had broken re- turned to mock him in his last hour of life. Then he remembered the inno- cent man waiting in an English cell to be hanged for his crime. It came to 1534 flliilfnrh ltligh Svrhnnl l 15?-4 56 ak! ilg,smiI 7 ug him in a flash. He, too, would go with a clear conscience. Steward, steward, he yelled above the storm, I must send a radiogram to London immediately. He tore off a piece of paper from his note book and scribbled the follow- ing message: Scotland Yard, London, England. I, John Harmon, confess to robbery and 'rnwrder in Bank- ing Trust Co. case. The man you are holding is innocent. John Harmon. Harmon staggered back to his cabin and closed the door. He had done one good deed on earth, and now he prepared himself for death. It seemed as if a great load had been lift- ed from his shoulders. The storm subsided as suddenly as it had arisen. The battered craft right- ed itself and flew serenely on once more. The seemingly inevitable disaster had been avoided, and the corridors re- echoed with the joyous shouts of the passengers. John Harmon's cabin door flew open, and his late companion entered. We're saved man. Do you realize we're going to live again? Yes, echoed Harmon dully. We're going to live again. JOSEPH WYZAN, '34, THE JUMP. John turned toward the window, sighed, and pushed his hands deeper into the pockets of his aviation suit. Why go over all that again? What difference does it make if I enter that contest or not? What difference does it make? exclaimed Helen Williams, fiinging her helmet into a nearby chair and tossing her chestnut hair angrily. You need S500 to finish up your last year in col- lege, and you give up a chance like this! All you have to do is take a parachute jump into a circle on the flying field. l'm beginning to think that you haven't any back bone or ambition at all. Why, Fred hasn't had half as much experi- ence as you have, and he's more than anxious to win that money to finish buy- ing an airplane for himself. You know, Dad won't let him use any of the field planes since his last crack-up. Yes, I know your brother has his heart set on it, and -- His sentence was interrupted by Fred himself, who came rushing into the room. Come on, Sis. Hurry up so we can be at the field when the action starts. Oh, hello, Benson. Didn't see you over there. Has Sis made up your mind yet about entering the contest? It's no use, his sister groaned, with an exaggerated look of agony on her face. Well, naturally he doesn't dare to compete with me, boasted Fred good- naturedly, winking at his sister. Any- way, come on. Hurry up. The stunt fliers were already per- forming when they drove into the field. The day was a perfect one for flying, as no breeze disturbed the course of the planes. The sun, shining on the silver wings, presented a beautiful sight. The planes dipped, turned, and rose, only to somersault back down again. Every- thing was running smoothly, and Mr. Williams announced to his children and Benson that he had netted a good profit from the large crowd. At the announcement of the para- chute jump, Mr. Williams hurried off, only to turn and come back. Remember, Helen, I've made a rule that everyone who goes up in a plane must wear a parachute. Don't want any 1934 Hlilfnrh illigh Srhnnl, 1934 57 wig ah? ilgnnnh 7 ug accidents if I can help it. So if you're planning to watch the jump from the air, be sure to wear your parachute. Well, good luck to you both. What did he mean by that? in- quired John as Mr. Williams hurried away. Oh, I told him that I would per- suade you to join if it was the last thing I did, and he has so much confidence in my persuasive power that he takes it for granted that you are entering the contest. Guess his fine opinion of you would change, if he thought you were afraid to enter, she taunted. John opened his mouth to protest but shut it as quickly and quietly acquiesced when Helen suggested that they watch the contest from the air. Once in the air, Helen took the con- trol so that John could look over the side. Evidently she was still disgusted with him, for she didn't say a word. He watched the parachutes puff open below him and head for the circle. He should have joined, he thought. It would have been so easy to land in the circle when no breeze was stirring. However, the con- testants all fell short of the mark. Now it was Fred's turn to jump. He drop- ped for some distance and was drifting toward the target. J ohn's view was ob- structed for a moment by another plane, and he leaned far out over the side to see how Fred was making out. Sud- denly it happened. He felt himself fall- ing through the air and heard Helen's scream. This called for action. Thank God, they had been forced to wear parachutes, he thought. If only he could find the rip-cord! The spec- tators gasped. How did he dare to let himself fall so far without opening the Chute? The shout of the crowd reached John as his fingers clasped the rip-cord. There was the circle below him. Since he had started, he might as well finish. Fred had landed some distance away from the mark, and John guided his parachute to a perfect landing. Too bad now that he hadn't entered his name. He could have used the 3500. Mr. Williams came up to him. Well, my boy, you did fine. Here's your S5007 Sorry, Mr. Williams. I'd like to take it, but my name wasn't entered. Mr. Williams gazed at him in astonishment. Wasn't entered! he gasped. Fred laughed, and said, Well, as luck would have it, it was entered. Helen was so confident about persuad- ing you that she entered it this morn- ing. John laughed heartily when he saw Helen running up to them. Well, young lady. I won the 55500 although I hoped Fred would win it. What a blow it must be to your vanity that you didn't succeed in changing my mind! Didn't succeed? Why, I knew you weren't entering because of Fred. That's why I tipped you out! AMY SMITH, '34, KT -l4d - THE HOLD-UP. After a quick startled look about him, the young man spoke rapidly to the young girl by his side, who re- turned his look of alarm and immedi- ately headed for the door of a restau- rant they were passing. She gave the revolving door a vio- lent shove which sent it spinning around, and the young man followed her into the restaurant with both his hands in his pockets, apparently clutching something. His roving eyes met those of the cashier, Who looked at them curiously as they hastily made their way down 12134 mufnrn align Srhnnl 11134 ak! tlg,.smh 7 ug the long aisle to where the trays were stacked. In front of these they stopped and again the young man spoke, 'tWe will have to take one and get something to make a pretense of eating, he said, but hurry! All these people are watch- ing us. The girl took one of the trays and looked about. The young man's nerv- ousness increased at this slight delay, and a faint flush spread slowly over his face. They went along to where the food was displayed on the counter for selec- tion. Pick up anything quickly, he ordered, and let's get sitting down, for I'll feel better when this is over with. His companion made a few hasty selections while he stood with his hands in his pockets and glanced furtively about. A more comfortable expression set- tled on his face as he discovered a table that was placed apart from the others and was partly concealed from the rest in the room by the booth occupied by the cashier. The fellow led his companion to this table and immediately sat down so that he was in the most secluded posi- tion, yet he faced the girl in the booth. His companion started to remove the food from the tray, and as she did so, she spoke to the young man. You watch the cashier, and when she is busy and not looking, do the job, she cautioned. Yes, replied the nervous young man in a fierce whisper as he drew his hands from his pockets with a pin in each, and when I get these confound- ed suspenders fixed, I'm going home and change back to my belt again. MARGARET WATSON, '34. Ki THE INVISIBLE DEATH. Major George Elliot of the Fifty- fifth Pursuit Squadron paced the Hoor of his office. His clean shaven face was molded in a mask of uneasiness. But there was usually a good reason when he acted in this manner. His last two vet- eran pilots had not yet returned from their mission. They had been ordered to scout over the German lines in prep- aration for the coming offensive move- ment. Major Elliot feared that these two flying devils had been killed. He tried to force the thought from his mind because the burden of breaking in a group of green youngsters just up from training camps had fallen on their shoulders. Otherwise these eager fledglings would be cold meat for the German aces. Suddenly out of the cold and treacherous night Major Elliot heard the drone of a motor. The cold air fanned his face as he closed the door with a slam, and hastened toward the field. A Spad bearing the insignia of a black rooster was making a jerky land- ing. This was not a usual thing to hap- pen to Lieutenant Barry Grant, but that was not the thought in Major Elliot's mind. What had happened to Lieuten- ant James Cronin? Only one thing pos- sible. Lieutenant Grant had climbed out of the Spad and was striding drunk- enly toward the squadron commander. Despite the darkness Major Elliot noticed that Grant's face was ghostly white. His eyes stared into space. He appeared to be in a daze. 'fGod, Major! he muttered. Jim- my went down in flames. It was hor- ribleI Easy Grant! the major said. We all go sooner or later. By this time a large group of new pilots and mechanics had arrived. 19?-4 l illiilfnrh 1-Iigh Svrhnnl 1534 59 ak.Hfilg,st1til 7 ug No, Major. Not like Jimmy,', re- plied Grant in a husky voice. He was there smiling at me one minute, and the next minute he was going down in fiames without a chance. The pilots listened nervously. I think it would be best if you would explain the incident, the major said. Barry tried to be calm. Jimmy and I had not reached the German area that we were ordered to scout, but we were in German territory. It was just as I have said, Major. Jim- my's ship just burst into flames, and then he was gone. I searched desper- ately for Boche planes, but in vain. The major opened his mouth to speak, but Barry anticipated his question. No, Major, the sky was clear of clouds, so it was impossible for any Ger- man pilot to hide in them, and then make his getaway. I am sure in say- ing that there was not any German plane within fighting range. Impossible, muttered the major. Sounds impossible, but it is only too true, said Lieutenant Grant. Major Elliot stared into the eyes of his untried youngsters and saw in them only one thing,-stark terror. Listen, men, said Elliot in an at- tempt to calm them. This is probably some devilish German scheme to fright- en our squadrons. Don't let it get you. Now return to your huts, and I'll see you tomorrow before dawn. The group walked silently away. Grant, come with me, ordered Major Elliot. Together they walked slowly to Elliot's oflice, both in deep thought. Grant, began the major slowly, this mystery must be unraveled, and it must be done quickly. Those kids will be a gang of nervous wrecks if it isn't. Barry nodded approvingly. Both men appeared to be their old selves again. Grant's eyes gleamed as he spoke. I've got it! he said. Got what? questioned the major. Tomorrow at dawn, I'm going after those Boches. I'll scour the region where Jimmy crashed. I'll admit, Barry said confidently, that I didn't see anything today, but I've got a hunch that I'll discover something worth while tomorrow. Seems like a good idea, said the Major thoughtfully, and I think I'll let you venture it. But you'd better get some sleep. I can see you need it. Barry smiled and opened the door. Good night, said Grant. Good night, replied Major Elliot. Grant left the office and was swal- lowed up by the darkness of the night, just as an uncontrolled plane is swal- lowed up by the earth when it crashes. It was before dawn when Major Elliot and his squadron were assembled in the mess-room. The faces of the new pilots wore tired and haggard looks. This was evidence of an uneasy night. Major Elliot rose and addressed his pilots in his usual calm and steady voice. Gentlemen, he began. The death of Lieutenant James Cronin must be in- vestigated. Lieutenant Grant has vol- unteered to do this. He will start im- mediately, and if he does not return in five hours, we shall go in search of him. That ended his speech. Major George Elliot was always brief when he faced a crisis. Then he strode toward Barry Grant with an extended hand. They clasped hands and held them while Elliot said in low voice, Start now, Barry, and good luck. Grant smiled. He seemed completely recovered from the experience of the previous night. His eyes flashed as he walked toward his waiting Spad. He checked his gaso- lene and guns, then he swung his lean, 11334 milfnrh 1-Iigh Srhnnl 1934 60 ak.i5ilg,ct1til 7 ug lithe body into the cockpit. He ordered the blocks removed. Then he taxied down the field, and the Spad took off as gracefully as a bird. Barry circled the drome and strove for altitude. When the altimeter read eight thousand feet, Barry leveled off. He was in no hurry to reach his destination. He saw before him a picture of the burning crate with Jimmy Cronin fight- ing frantically to get control of the ship. He saw him going down in a burn- ing tailspin. Now Barry was out for revenge! He would blow the murderers of Jimmy into eternity! Barry knew that he must form some plan of attack. Coolly he con- ceived a desperate plan. He would make a dead-stick landing. Then he would search the place for Germans and prob- ably learn something of Jimmy's death, because he was sure that his friend had not been attacked from the air. Barry knew that if he was captured, he Would probably be shot, or, at the best, be sent to a German prison camp for remainder of the war. He shrugged his broad shoulders and grinned. The major was right. We all go sooner or later. A few miles to the north lay Grant's destination. In a few minutes he cov- ered the distance and was over the spot where Jimmy crashed. Barry's keen eyes searched for a suitable landing field. A forest was beneath him. A small meadow was the best Barry could see to use as a field. He shut off his motor and glided gracefully through the air, and made a good landing despite the uneveness of the field. The Spad stopped rolling. Lift your hands! he heard in fiawless English. Had his coming here been anticipated by these Germans? Barry thought not. But how - Lift your hands! he heard the same voice repeat. Barry Grant lifted his hands slow- ly as he rose from the cockpit. Ap- proaching him from all sides of the plane were fully twenty men, each armed with a rifie. One German officer, who apparent- ly was the leader, walked up to Grant and disarmed him. What is your name? demanded the German. Lieutenant Barry Grant, was the reply. From what squadron? Fifty-fifth Pursuit Squadron. The German smiled grimly. Come, he ordered. Barry was forced to walk in front of the German officer. He noticed that all the men were in the uniform of Ger- man flyers. Barry wondered if he had accidently stumbled into a German squadron. Impossible. He had not seen any hangars or huts. Unless the air- drome was camouflagedl Barry had seen some neatly camouflaged dromes that were impossible to detect from the air. Grant was being taken along a narrow, winding path, and now he saw an airdrome most cleverly disguised. No wonder he had not noticed it! They stopped before a hut, and the German ofiicer said, Come, I shall take you to the commanding officer. Barry remained silent. Talking would not help him. Deeds not words. He was led in a small, poorly lighted room that contained only one window. Seated behind a desk that was covered with scattered papers was a German officer with his chest decorated with medals. He rose and walked toward Barry with an air of superiority. He was about six feet tall and a man of enormous strength. His cold gray eyes seemed to look through Grant. What is the name of this Yankee who dares enter the Secret Squadron of Baron Von Stok? demanded the Baron. 2.-ff IEI?-4lHlrIilfn1'h 1-Iigh Srhnnl 1934 61 GBQIJ ilganh 7 ug Lieutenant Barry Grant of the Fifty-fifth Squadron, replied the Ger- man ofiicer. Von Stok's eyes gleamed suspiciously. What is the insignia on his plane? A black rooster, was the quick reply. Von Stok ordered the German of- ficer to leave. Why are you here? demanded the Baron. Motor went dead on me. I was forced to land here, lied Grant. Your motor went dead, eh? You lie! exclaimed von Stok. You have come to spy. HI-would not come dressed as an American, if I were a spy, would I? asked Barry. Baron von Stok ignored this ques- Lion. Yesterday, you were flying with the-may I say-unfortunate Lieuten- ant James Cronin, were you not? Barry Grant remained silent. Be- fore him was Jimrny's murderer. The Baron continued boastfully. That was my first successful ex- periment. My invention will clear the skies of enemy planes for the Father- land. You look astonished, Lieutenant. A smile spread over the ugly feat- ures of von Stok. Barry was eager to get more in- formation concerning the German's in- vention. He forced an answering smile. Your scheme will be destroyed be- fore you have a chance to do any dam- age, retorted Barry. My invention will not be de- stroyed, von Stok said confidently. Suppose I should escape and rush planes here and destroy the drome, re- plied Grant. You shall not escape. Tomorrow at dawn you will be shot before a firing squad. A spy's end, my friend. Better than a burning plane, eh? The baron laughed fiendishly. Barry considered his chances for escape. This brute before him was the only obstacle in this room. Then he would let Fate take her course. But first he must learn about von Stok's devilish invention. Since you are sure that I shall die tomorrow, you should not consider it a risk to tell me of your scheme, The German hesitated. This Yankee would die on the morrow, and the knowledge of his invention would die with him. No, I do not consider it a risk, said the German. You will be the only person besides myself who knows of my secret. I have not even informed the High Command of it. Here the German paused for a moment. No doubt, Lieutenant, continued the German, you are familiar with a machine gun. My invention is similar to a machine gun, only it shoots a burn- ing invisible ray instead of bullets. This ray comes from two huge batteries di- rectly beneath the gun. Of course, these are not ordinary batteries. They are so powerful that they cause the ray to travel at such a terrific rate of speed that it cannot be detected in broad daylight. Once it strikes the plane, all is over. The plane will be nothing but a burning mass. The baron examined Grant close- ly. His suspicious eyes showed that he feared Barry would make an attempt to escape. But Barry Grant wanted to learn something else first. How is it possible to strike a plane at a great distance? Jimmy and I were flying at four thousand feet when he was killed, said Barry calmly. The sights on the device are one thousand fold more powerful than those on machine guns, making it possible to hit a plane five miles away, the Baron von Stok said proudly. Lieutenant Cronin was shot at from the ground, 3-leaf: I milfnrh Elliigh Srhnnl 1534 62 is GBM! ilg,m1h 7 ug he continued, but when our planes are equipped with my invention, we will make short work of all the Allied planes. Lieutenant Barry Grant had learned enough. But this information would be useless unless it was brought to higher authority. Barry had to escape. He sent a crashing punch to the German's jaw. Von Stok staggered for a mo- ment. He took a head long dive at Barry and both hit the Hoor. They rolled over and over. The baron's steel-like hands clutched at Barry's throat. Darkness was coming over him. He summoned his remaining strength and threw the German over. Barry groped blindly. His strength was returning. His head was clearing. He sent a terrific blow to the side of von Stok's head. The baron reeled. Barry rushed the Ger- man, and a storm of punches landed on the baron's face. He fell to the floor unconscious. Barry took von Stok's Luger and leaped through the window. A lone guard stood in front of the hut. Barry walked noiselessly behind him and sent a crashing blow on his head. The guard fell without a sound. Barry took the unconscious body and hid it in some nearby bushes. He ran toward the woods. Suddenly he heard some gutteral voices. Germans were approaching along the same path. Barry Grant leaped out of the path and hid behind a large tree. He waited, every nerve tense, ready for action. The Germans passed by noisily. Barry ran along the path again. Before him was a clearing. Was his Spad still there? Barry stopped short. The Spad was there, but under the careful watch of a German sentry. He wondered if his escape was known yet. He must work fast! He ran all around the meadow, in order to get behind the German sentry. The German spun around! But it was too late. Barry was on him. The de- scending butt of the Luger on the side of his head sent him sprawling to the ground. A shot broke the stillness of the air. Barry felt a sudden pain in his shoulder. He was wounded! Messages of death flew about him. He leaped in the cockpit of his Spad. The Germans were closing in on him. The motor coughed, sputtered, then went dead. Then as suddenly as it went dead, it caught. The roar of the motor sent Barry's nerves tingling. The plane rose. He was free! The Germans con- tinued to fire. Barry saw the Germans running about. Then he set his Spad homeward bound. His keen eyes sighted ten planes. The Fifty-fifth with its green pilots were coming to help him. Barry rushed to meet them. Five bombers and five Spads. Barry Grant signaled Major Elliot to bomb the region below. The bombers let loose. Bomb after bomb fell on the camouflaged drome. Below was Hell on Earth. In a few minutes all was quiet except for the drone of the motors. The murdering invention together with its inventor were lost in the wreckage below. JOHN MORELLI, '34, fn i-lii i THE PRISONER ESCAPES. In the interior of the small, square stone hut Gaston Du Bois lay on a wooden bed. He was perfectly motion- less, for his hands, neck, and feet were chained to the boards of his pallet. Mosquitoes swarmed about his head and hands and bit him a thousand times. He was powerless. He could not raise his hand to brush these pests away. Ants- red ants, black ants, large ants, small ants-crept into his soiled linen cloth- 11134 illlilfnrh Elliigh Srhnnl 1 1534 ak! flganh 7 ug ing. Huge spiders crawled over his skin. The tropical heat of Devil's Island was stifiing. In the wretched little hut the foul air was hot and humid. Du Bois groaned and gasped. When he tried to change his position, the tight- fitting rings lacerated his hands and ankles. Outside, a uniformed guard, armed with a revolver, sat gazing through the grated door of the hovel. He looked at his watch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. He rose, picked up a basket, unlocked the door, and stepped into the hut. After placing the basket on the table, he unchained the prisoner and withdrew, locking the door again. Gaston Du Bois now had an hour of freedom in his miserable cell. He sat down to his one meal of the day. It consisted of a pint of water, a slice of hard bread, and a piece of canned pork. With intense disgust the prisoner swal- lowed his rations. Du Bois moved over to the window. A mile away was the broad Atlantic. The sea was his only friendg its splash- ing waves were words of sympathy to him. As he stared at the distant horiz- on, his thoughts wandered back to far away France. A bewildering proces- sion of events passed through his agi- tated mind: the arrest, the secret trial, the false witness, the sentence-solitary confinement for life on Devil's Island. Gaston Du Bois, an innocent man, con- demned to the most accursed spot on earth! His bony hands seized the bars of the window. The iron recalled to his mind the ten years he had suffered amid the filth of the French penal colony-ten years of torment in the heat and squal- or of L' Isle Du Diable. The prisoner fell into deeper despair and left the window. The hour was nearing its end. The guard looked at his watch again. It was four o'clock. He unlocked the door and walked in. Soon Gaston Du Bois would be back in chains. Suddenly a short cry came from the interior of the hut. A chair was over- turned, then a table. A terrific strug- gle ensued. A pistol shot was heard. A man groaned, then all was silent. Two minutes later a man in guard's uniform came out of the hut. It was Gaston Du Bois. For the first time in ten years the bent form appeared in the open air. He hurried over the barren hillside in the direction of the sea. With great difficulty he stumbled over the rocks as fast as his rheumatic limbs would carry him. Fifteen minutes later Du Bois had reached the coast. Suddenly the long loud whine of a siren sounded from the fort where the island officials lived. His escape had been discovered. In a mo- ment the siren sounded again. Du Bois looked about helplessly. In the distance men shouted. The siren screached at regular intervals. A posse was being organized to scour the island in search of the escaped prisoner. Three miles across the bay there was another island. Du Bois saw it. That island was his freedom. That is- land was his only hope. If he could swim to it, he would be safe. The refu- gee threw off his coat and rushed into the water. With all his remaining strength he started swimming across the channel. With each stroke he left behind the accursed island. With each stroke he came nearer to his liberty, nearer to his return to life. Unseen by the posse, Du Bois struggled on. Time passed rapidly. The search- ers had not spied Du Bois yet. He was half way across the water. A mile and a half lay between him and liberty. With ever increasing difficulty he swam on. Slowly his strength was failing him. With a tremendous effort he tried to raise his arms from the water, but, exhausted, he could not. Years of tor- 2-,-i 152.4 I iliiilfnrh High Srhnnl I 1212.4 64 SK GBM! ilgystltil 7 ug ture had sapped his strength. He Houndered helplessly for a few minutes, finally he sank. He came to the sur- face once, twice, three times. He called for help and then disappeared in the sea forever. On the shore the posse of men had witnessed the drowning. Silently they walked back to the fort. At the gate the warden stood with a paper in his hand. Did you find Du Bois? he asked. No, he was drowned in the chan- nel, someone answered. Somewhat sadly the warden said, Look at this cablegram that I just re- ceived from Paris. The message read: The Court exon-erates Gaston Du Bois of the charge of treason pronounced April 20, 1924. Release Da Bois at once and send him back to France on the first boat. WILLIAM J. O'DONNELL, '34. i.lK.1.. A QUIMBY MISTAKE. Martha Quimby sat waiting pa- tiently for 5.10 to arrive. She knew that ten minutes after the huge old clock in the hall struck five o'clock, Ettie would bring the evening papers into the Quimby library. Ettie had been doing this for almost thirty years, Martha reflected, and was a model ser- vant. It never occurred to Martha to read the paper any earlier than 5.10 P. M. The Quimbys ran their homes and persons by a rigid time-routine, and the slightest departure from this would be a calamity! Martha, sitting with her grey head bent against the damask covering of the grand old mohogany chair her grand- father, Sir John Quimby, had given her mother, appraised her surroundings with a certain air of dignity and state- liness that she was never without. Everything was as she had wished, she noted with satisfaction. The Quimby estate had been run exactly as her father and mother would have run it, had they lived. She was a genuine Quimby, and had held her life to every standard and ideal set for her by the past Quimby women. As for Joan-a complacent, tender smile softened the rather stern features of the old woman for a moment as she thought of Joan. Joan was but fifteen years younger, but Martha still loved her as her little sister. Joan had been a love- ly little girl, rather of an imp, Martha reflected. The two sisters had lived to- gether all their lives in their huge home and had been very happy and-Happy? Of course, they had been happy! Hadn't they had each other's companionship and comfort? It is true, Martha re- Hected, that they never had many friends, but what need had they for friendship? What strange thoughts for an old woman who has always con- sidered her life the very ideal of hap- piness and contentment! Martha Quim- by closed her eyes as if to draw a cur- tain over her thoughts. Yet they per- sisted and flew back to that day forty years earlier when Martha, horrified, had found Joan interested in medical research work. She remembered that Joan had been quite brilliant at it, and had intended to start working soon. A Quimby woman to work as a commoner! She had seemed quite elated over it. Still, Martha thought, the girl was young and knew no better. Then she had noticed a new radi- ance about her sister, and found she was in love-in love with a doctor, and he not making more than five pounds a week! Of course, Joan would never have been contented with five pounds a week, when all her life she had had all the money she wanted. It would have ruined her life! He had been rather a nice young man. What was his name? gf: 1934 Hlililfnrh 'Eli-Iigh Srhunl 1934 65 Ile Q9zrk,mflg,a11h 7 ug Philip! Martha's eyes opened quickly, her head jerked up. She had thought these things forever forgotten. Strange she should remember after all the years. Why, even Joan had forgotten. It had taken some time, but then those things did take some time. There had been a sudden wistfulness, she thought with a pang of her heart, and the girl did lose considerable weight for a healthy young girl. But even that had not lasted. It had been hard on Joan, but she, Martha, had never reproached herself for what she did. It was for the girl's own good, Why, her future happiness was at stake. Joan had never found out why she did not receive his letters. She would never suspect her sister. In the end, Martha reflected, she had been right. It had helped Joan. She certainly would never have forgiven herself if she had allowed Joan to marry him. It had made Joan more like a Quimby, for after his let- ters had stopped coming suddenly, she had enveloped herself in a cold calm with head erect. Ah, there was Ettie with the paper -at 5.25 she would be finished with it and would meet Joan at dinner. As Martha's eyes fell upon the paper, it changed from horror to unbelief, and then to unutterable sadness. With a scarcely audible sigh, her lifeless form fell upon the floor in a crumpled, pitiful heap, her hand still wildly clutching the paper with its headlines screaming up- ward- Rich Spinster Weds Old Sweet- heart After Many Years Separation, and beneath it a picture of Joan Quim- by!

His fidelity is known the world over, and his undying love for his master is a thing of ad- miration. The length to which a dog will go to do a service for his master knows no bounds. He seems to know instinctively whenever something is wrong, and. his only desire is to show his sympathy by aiding his master in times of sorrow. How comforting it is to have a little wet nose snuggle up to one 's hands when discouraging moments appear, to have a little warm tongue lick off the tears that roll down one's cheeks, to have a little face filled with sympathy peer into one's own. When the master returns from a day's work, he is sure that there will be someone who is glad to see him. His dog will meet him at the door with a wagging tail and little barks of joy. As a playmate a dog is unequaled. He scamps with the liveli- ness of a child, and frolics about his master's feet in the woods. It is a dog who guards his master and his posses- sions both day and night, and woe to the one who attempts to harm either. Every day dogs willingly give their lives in order that a human life may be saved. Too great a tribute can never be paid to man's best and truest friend, the dog. KATHRYN HAYES, '34. .lfiii THUMBING RIDES. While bankers are leaping from twelve story windows and utilities mag- nates are enjoying enforced vacations in distant climes, that time-honored or- ganization, The Knights of the Dusty Road, is preparing for another busy season. Already the highways all over the country are lined with youths be- tween the ages of eight and eighty armed with a vacant look and a flexible thumb. These are the recognized mem- bers of the local branch of the organi- zation. In order to become a member of your local branch, you must possess the following equipment: a powerful thumb, the semblance of a smile, and an un- limited amount of patience. After the -3-,fl 1212.4 1 milfnrh align Svrhnnl 122.4 67 ak? clganh 7 ug applicant is assured that he possesses those attributes, he places a statement concerning these qualifications in a self- addressed envelope and drops into the nearest man-hole. In ten days or a week at the utmost he will receive Word from the Most Holy, Great, Grand, Im- perial Whatsis that he has passed with flying colors and is now eligible for road duty. The would-be rider stands at at- tention by the side of the road and manipulates his fingers in such a man- ner as to bring the thumb into prom- inence, moving it in a given direction as the cars speed by. The main idea is to attract the driveris attention. This is done in various ways according to the ability of the individual concerned. In some parts of the country, such signs as whistling through the teeth, blowing of the nose, and pointing the thumb is sufficient to attract the motorist's at- tention. However, due to competition which has risen during the depression, something more is necessary in the way of entertainment for the tired motorist. Blackening the face with burnt cork and singing a mammy song while juggling two grape fruits and water- melon with your elbows has proven as effective method. Another way which brings out the personality of the thumber as well as ofering the motor- ist something in the way of variety is drawing live elephants out of a hat, playing the trombone, and writing 29 letter home to mother while reciting Longfellow's Evangeline in Greek. If these methods, however, fail to attract attention, there remains one more. When you see a car approach- ing, attempt to cross the road noncha- lantly. The motorist, thinking you are a pedestrian, will speed up and try to hit you. As you feel the bumper of the car break the ribs on your left side, fall gracefully to the right, being careful not to disarrange your necktie or get 1 dust on your shoes. The motorist, as he sees you lying there, notices that the orange and blue of your cravat matches the powder blue upholstery of his car. Keeping this harmonious color scheme in mind, he lifts you gently and places you on the back seat of the car. Thus you get a ride for nothing! That brings us to the motto of the organiza- tion which is to get something for nothing even though you have to break your neck in doing so. Now with the singing of the club song Dust Gets in Your Eyes, the meeting will adjourn until further notice. JosEPH WYZAN, '34. 5i.l. MIRRORS. Consider the various and enlighten- ing reflections of mirrors. I dare not even calculate the extent and import of their observations. They alone have the wisdom which sees all, hears all, and tells nothing Cthank goodnessll I fear, friends, that all too few of us realize their infiuence upon our lives. Beware lest our ingratitude be direly punished. The worth of these proctors of ap- pearance, who are as indispensable as a cat's ninth life, has been long under- estimated. To what do we owe the in- creasing beauty of the race? To the revelations of these faithful advisers without which our cosmetics and beauty-parlors would be as crusaders without arms. Alack and alas! In spite of their tireless efforts, we still see many-shall we say rather amus- ing -specimens of humanity. But what, pray tell, would we see without mirrors? Mirrors are a necessity of civiliza- tion and should be recognized as such. 1212-4 I milfnrh align sfhnnl 12134 QBah.Ef1g,m1h 7 ug Not only are they valuable beauticians, but, too, they are tools of the scientist. The R.O.R. LRoyal Order of Reiiectorsj is urging that We spend at least twenty minutes per day in silent homage be- fore our mirrors. This time, of course, must be spent in pondering on the virtues of the mirror with utter disregard of the reiiection. Consider their serene and beautiful faces which see an ever-changing panorama, yet which remain as placid and beautiful as ever. They always tell the truth and, come to think of it, they are about the only true things in this hypocritical world. They never shun their duty and are as painfully critical or as ungrudg- ingly approving as Truth itself. Where else shall we find such as these? In return for tireless service Calthough you mightn't believe itj I have already pensioned two mirrors, and I suggest that others do likewise so that the shameful neglect of these hitherto un- appreciated boons to man may abrupt- ly cease. ELEANOR BOYER, '34. -L-Ez- THE LIFE OF AN USHER. As I involuntarily turn the blunt point of my dilapidated fountain-pen upon the distasteful task of revealing the innermost actions of my brother- ushers, I am plunged in the depths of melancholy and incontrovertible gloom. I have been initiated and accepted into the corps of the Consolidated Brother- hood of Ushers in one of the most mag- nificent amusement-houses located in a beautiful town in this vicinity, and I absolutely refuse to commit myself in naming this well-known metropolis or theatre. I have just completed a state- ment of fact, and I know of no logical reason for the reader not to under- stand this melancholy complex after reading the statement that I was an usher at one time. Of course it is under- stood that there is no financial recom- pense in performing the duties of an usher as it is allegedly an undoubted honor to hold this position of esteem. I have many qualms in publishing a few facts about the life of an usher as some of my statements may be con- tradicted by a co-worker. Now an usher must primarily be versatile. He must be pleasant always to all patrons and must be equal to any emergency. This means contingencies of fights, brawls, fainting-spells, and noisy people of every age and size. Oh, yes! I must not forget the babies-the dear little tots that are lugged by fond mothers to the theatre. If they had never ac- quired the art of screaming, it seems that they learn quickly in this environ- ment. If an usher cannot hold his own in fistic combat or in easing himself out of such perilous predicaments, it is barely possible that he may exceed the minimum of one discolored eye per week. Now an usher must necessarily be handsome, and, of course, the dis- coloration would be evil in effect. CI'll bet there are several reading this article who will disagree with the above state- ment just to be different. But deep down in their hearts they will realize the truth of the whole affairlb The mind of an usher must be well trained, for he should know the name, language, and residence of each patron at each performance for the sake of convenience. Sometimes there are a few strangers whom the usher doesn't know but if they are by chance attrac- tive females, it won't be long for the knowledge to penetrate the usher's mind. One of the most difficult feats to learn and execute successfully is the wasting of the company's time with- out creating a furor among the ranks 2'-,lf 1934 l illililfnrh El-Iigh Svrhnnl 1934 69 ah! ilgasmh 7 ug or managerial stai. This feat, if I may say so, I have practiced so often that at present I have perfected it, and it works with the smoothness of a clock. The uniform, I am told, holds an attraction for the members of the op- posite sex, and as I have failed so far to see this, I am silent upon the senti- mental success or failure, as it were, of any co-usher or ex-usher whom I may be able to recall. And so I will now close my article with the hope that you will accept it in the spirit in which it is offered. ROBERT E. MCGINNIS, '34, ?g POPULAR SONGS. The young man of today has at his disposal a method by which he may ex- press his every thought, mood, or de- sire. I refer to the medium of popu- lar songs. The young man does not necessarily have to be a good singer to convey the desired idea, he may be a crooner or a Whistler or merely a hum- mer, as most of us are. For instance, should the young fellow happen to see a beautiful young woman standing a few feet from him in the crowded subway, he may edge nearer to her and start to hum suggestively Let,s Fall in Love, Why Shouldn't We Fall in Love? However, her husband standing nearby may put an end to the proceedings with a curt You're Headin' for the Last Roundup. Or to get acquainted with the people who have just moved in next door, he may lean across the back fence and yodel, Neighbors, Pardon Me but Don't You Know We're Neighbors? Let us observe this young swain as he sits in his car before the home of his sweetheart humming, Waitin' at the Gate for Katie, and follow him as he drives oi with her while the car radio declares musically that they are Goin' to Heaven on a Mule. Eventually the boy gets up enough courage to pop the ever-popular ques- tion and promises that If You'll Say Yes, Cherie, We Can Build a Little Home. When he receives an affirma- tive answer We know that the evening is Ending With a Kiss while he fond- ly bids her A Thousand Good Nights. When they have married and set- tled down to domesticity, they are very happy and they have their breakfast to the tune of Coffee in the Morning, and throughout the day Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries. But one day he comes home and finds her weeping. She explains her tears by singing When the Cake's on Fire, You Must Realize, Smoke Got in My Eyes. One little thing leads to another and finally they part, she singing, O You Nasty Man, and he humming, The House is Haunt- ed. Disillusioned, they both wander down The Boulevard of Broken Dreams. EDWARD O'NEIL, '34. E5,' RUBBER BANDS. How dead this world but for these little bands of live rubber! Is there any activity between birth and the grave which cannot be facilitated by the employment of elastic bands? Some say that man's best friend is the dogg I say the rubber band. It is our boon companion from infancy to the second childhood. One's uses of these rings of rubber are the index to the personality. The little girl's braids are tied with elastics. One of the first things her brother must learn upon entering the public school system is the use of these 122.4 milfnrh High Srhnul 12134 70 ak! flg,5I1TIl 7 ug articles in propelling moist wads of paper across the room rapidly in such manner as to strike the teacher in the back of the head. In the course of his school career, the student learns that rubber bands may be used: 1. to hold wayward papers togetherg 2. as a book mark, and 3. as an eraser when wound about the top of a pencil. These handy devices may serve ex- traordinary purposes. In a pinch, one can be utilized as a sleeve band or a garter Cif it is strong enoughb. If the individual is clever enough, he can play a tune on one, and when we are nervous, they are fine to chew on. Most amazing of all, elastics have been wound around the finger and suc- cessfully substituted for the memory in the case of an absent-minded professor. The letter will actually be mailed!

Did you ever stop to think what an accomplishment it is to know how to study? But what human, especially a high school student, knows just how it should be done? Of course, one must study with a pencil. A line traced under each word helps to imprint it so much more clearly on the mind. I'll admit, ink impresses it even more indelibly on the mind, but it is rather messy, and you may have to pay for the book. Definitions and notes written on the margin will also be appreciated by next year's student if they are not seen and erased by a conscientious teacher. the proper posi- Let us consider tion to study. I have always found that a big chair with I can study best in my pedal extremities dangling over one arm Cof the chair, of coursej. A low position of the head enables a better circulation, and therefore the brain is much clearer. Studying, if done proper- ly, should be done in a pleasant atmos- phere. If there is no one at home to furnish that atmosphere of charm by telling a good joke, whistling, or sing- ing, the radio will do just as well-or perhaps better if there is a good jazz orchestra broadcasting. It is always a good policy to follow the music, and I am sure that I never enjoyed myself more than when I chanted the murder scene in Macbeth to the tune of Oh, You Nasty Man. Naturally, with a pleasant atmosphere, proper position, and a well-sharpened pencil, a great deal can be accomplished. I will guar- antee that any lesson can be completed in ten minutes in this fashion. That will very conveniently leave sufficient time to take in a show or a dance, or both, afterward. What will my test mark be?', Oh, well, you'd fiunk it anyway. What's the use of studying for it? AMY SMITH, '34, i.-51.-.- THE DOWN TRODDEN. For over sixteen years I was, and still am, intimately associated with these down-trodden. Soft and of stern- er stuff,-white, brown, and black-all are brothers in that they all have been treated harshly and forced through snow and rain and dust. They have stood rough treatment, cuffs, and blows without a single whimper of ap- peal or protest. But oh, they have had 1234 iliiilfnrh Elliigh Svrhnnl 15:34 ak.Eilg,a11h 7 ug some measure of revenge. They have pinched and made sores with their con- stant rebellion. Now to take some examples of their exquisite revenge. Sometimes they are high and yet short, then the villains pinch and squeeze until their victim cries out in pain. I myself have cursed their smiling placid expressions as I felt the soul-wracking pain. Their vic- tims reveal their horrible success by lines of pain impressed upon the face. However, it is natural for the down- trodden, after one indignity and anoth- er, to rise at last and rebel in active protest. But they can be, and often are, faithful servants. Treated fairly and decently, they will serve to the last squeak. Speaking of squeaks reminds me that sometimes these faithful serv- ants cry out and squeak for mercy. This sound can be silenced in most cases by drastic measures, but once in a gen- eration of these obedient servers of mankind, there is one who constantly rebels and squeaks aloud in protest and anger. This humble race do not like water as a rule, but they endure it stoically when forced to do so. Members of this race are interna- tionally known. They have one thing in common, although their name varies in different countries. They are all recognizable as members of the same race. Some members have held high positions in the royal purple, and some were born to live in the common dust. They are mentioned in history, in fic- tion, in legends, and one is well known because of a fairy tale. Personally, I treat some of them gently and respect- fully, but with others I am not so care- ful. They are a strong, sturdy race, and have a shining exterior if treated well. They travel usually in pairs, be- ing affectionate.

For years and years I have racked my brain for a solution to a most diiii- cult problem. I have studied the case from every possible angle, determined not to give it up, but have finally real- ized that it is a problem for experts. Every morning for years at exactly 7.00 A. M. a most wretched, nerve- wracking sound has met my ears. I have awakened from my slumber and found myself face to face with the enemy-the alarm clock. Daily I have controlled my impulse to hurl the wretched thing out my window. What is the solution to this distressing problem? It seems to me the world spends altogether too much time discussing very unimportant things, and leaves these terrifically im- portant problems to be pondered by people like me. Something must be done about it! With the experts of every nation working on it, some satis- factory solution ought to be discovered. They might arrange to have serenaders under your window so that at 7.00 A. M. you become serenely aware of beau- tiful music floating into your room, and you arise, at peace with the world. Or they might invent a device for holding fiowers above your bed so that at 7.00 they automatically drop upon your bed, gently awaking you. Better still, they might reach a very definite conclusion, as I have, about the evils of awakening anyone at the unheard of hour of 7.00 A. M. and al- low them to sleep. That would be World Peace! DOROTHY LAWSON, '34, 1934 i illililfnrh Ellligh Svrhnnl I 1934 ak! clgfsmh 7 ug PREPAREDNESS. It seems as if in this country the custom is to wait until it is too late to avoid accidents and sickness and then seek a remedy at a great expense. An example of this is shown in a part of my own neighborhood. At a certain street corner, there is an outcropping of rock which blocks the entire view, and a car coming from the street onto the main highway must chance being hit by another automo- bile, or worse still by a huge truck. This instance illustrates my state- ment only on a small scale and is only one example of the people's choice to let accidents happen before seeking a remedy. During the World War, the United States could have saved immense sums, shortened the duration of war, and de- creased the great loss of life. This could have been accomplished if the United States had been well prepared when she entered the conflict. In this way she could have transported a large quantity of men and munitions across the Atlantic. The greater the number and the more quickly that they arrived in Europe, the more quickly the Germans would have been repelled and forced to sue for peace. Likewise America could have shortened the sufferings of many families, for when the war was over, the soldiers could return to their homes and the reconstruction of the devastated land and homes begun. According to several newspaper and magazine articles, this nation is un- prepared for war. These articles writ- ten by retired naval and army experts, such as Rear Admiral Swanson and General Mitchell, state that the army, navy, and especially the air corps should be built up to a greater efficien- The reason for being prepared is 0 if not for the purpose of aggression, but to be able to defend ourselves and main- tain our national honor and respect. Therefore, if the government, in- stead of developing the Reforestration Service, should place these men in the army and navy and even build up the air force, it would keep the majority of the trades going, viz: shipbuilding, foundaries, powder plants, machine shops, clothing and shoe factories. This policy would also remove all fear of an invasion by any nation which might at- tempt a conquest if it thought this country unprepared. People while employed are willing to pay additional taxes. In my own home when money is coming regularly into the house, the taxes are easily at- tended to, and, like many other citizens, my parents would be glad to pay an in- crease of taxes for national prepared- ness. This would also give employment to many young men and also to women in the rank of the nurses. Therefore the communities and nations who attempt to remove cause of probable accidents or international conflicts are better oi than those who wait for an accident or an armed strife to occur. MICHAEL ALBERTO, '34. L.-?i.l. WHY WE NEED A NEW HIGH SCHOOL The suggestion that Milford build a new High School has been the signal for heated discussions among certain groups in this town. Many voters do not see the pressing need of a new build- ing and argue that the only thing a new High school would bring about is a rise in taxes. This slight increase in taxes, however, is nothing in compari- son With the relief of the overcrowded gi 1934 milfnrh 1-Iigh Svrhnnl 1 1934 73 Qbaki ilg,a11il 7 ug and distressing conditions existing in our High school today. This article is written for the pur- pose of giving the townspeople of Mil- ford an insight into the present-day school conditions and arousing interest in the project of a new High school. The Milford High School was built in 1900 to accommodate about two hundred and twenty-live students. At- tendance has steadily increased until ten years ago it was necessary to insti- tute the double platoon system. Today about five hundred students attend the morning session and two hundred and twenty-five Freshmen, the afternoon platoon. The Freshman class alone makes up the number of students for which the school was originally built. It may seem incredible that so large a number of students can attend a school built to accommodate only a percentage of the present enrolment, but neverthe- less, this is the existing condition. An attempt was made a few years ago to remedy this situation by the erection of two portables next to the High school, but a serious illness cannot be cured by petty remedies. It is under serious difficulties that both the teacher and student work. The double platoon system, brought about by these overcrowded conditions, is also accompanied by many evils, one of which is the shortening of periods. Last year the arrangement of seven per- iods a day was carried out, and, natural- ly, as the double platoon system per- mits a limited time for the morning ses- sion, the length of the periods had to be considerably decreased. With such shortened periods the required work was covered, but with considerable diffi- culty, and it was found advisable to change this system in favor of the six longer periods. Truly distressing conditions exist in the crowded physics and chemistry laboratories where lack of apparatus and equipment often force students to work together on experiments. This surely does not promote individualism and self-reliance-one of the aims of High school. Many times, because of the cut in periods, the longer chemistry experiments have to be finished after school. The chemistry and physics lab- oratories are also used as recitation rooms, and when a large class of about twenty-five works in the laboratory, it is necessary to lift the one-armed desk chairs out into the hall to make room for moving about. Other irregularities exist in the school such as having an English class in the Assembly Hall with about five feet of board space, and the necessity of a Freshman keeping his or her books in the same desk with an upper-class- man. In many cases, there is not enough room for the books of the two, where- upon some of the volumes are left on the window sills and even, in a few ex- ceptional cases, on the floor under the chairs. Also because of the lack of real study rooms, some students are forced to study in the rear of classrooms while recitations are going on, and even in rain and snow, it is necessary for stu- dents to run from the portables to the main building in order to attend classes. Another evidence of the overcrowd- ed conditions is the Assembly Hall, whose seating capacity is approximately two hundred-hardly enough to accom- modate one-third of the student body of the school. Fire hazard laws prohi- it the crowding of the hall, and this being the case, it is impossible for all the students to assemble at one time, no matter how important may be the speak- er or occasion. This fact, together with the old-fashioned and inadequate plat- form, has greatly hindered the presenta- tion of plays and other important school functions. It is fortunate, however, that these conditions have had no worse effect 1934 miriam 1-Iigh Srhnnl wafr '74 ak! flgauh 7 ug than they have had upon the actual edu- cational merit of the school, for, through the combined efforts of the school authorities and teachers, Milford High School has maintained a Grade A rating in the eyes of the State Board of Education. However, the question is: How long can this excellent rating be kept up under the present conditions? MAURICE PRESSMAN, '34, 1 THE SAXOPHONE. In a moment of ecstasy Chaving been just listening to the practicing of our neighbor's ten year old impres- sariob, I take my pen in hand to cele- brate the virtues of that instrument of romance, that symbol of modern youth, the saxophone. Lest I unintentionally create an erroneous impression, I wish to make it clear that I am in no way connected with any saxophone manufacturer as agent or otherwise, nor shall I receive one penny of reimbursement in return for this testimonial. What could be more pleasing to Father at the end of a hard tiresome day's work, than to have Junior, who has just been given an antiquated model T saxophone, begin to practice his lesson? If here and there the young musician blows a false note, resembling the roar of a freight train emerging from the Holland tunnel, and ending with a squeak like a scared mouse corn- ered by his enemy, the cat, the face of Father should light up with genuine joy at the remarkable progress which his son is making. Parents cannot really experience the joy of raising children unless one or more of their offspring study the saxo- phone. If two Cor morej have been so favored and they practice their various lessons in the same room at the same time, the result will be quite soothing and harmonious. Let me mention another experience which tends to increase our love for this instrument. Our fifteen-dollar-a- week neighbor, with visions of making plenty of easy money playing in some dance orchestra, has bought a saxo- phone on the instalment plan and is learning via the same method. Oft times, late in hot summer nights, we are awakened by his practicing his scales and occasionally getting hot on Dinah. The expressive mellow tone he doesn't get hinders not at all our deep admiration for his playing, and we lie awake far into the night, unable to shut our eyes because of our desire to enjoy his beautiful tones. If any of you read- ers have had this experience, I am sure it has caused your fondness for the saxophone to grow immeasurably. In view of all this evidence, I am firmly convinced Cand I hope I have convinced youl that music's greatest contribution to modern civilization is the saxophone.

By way of weird and suggestive movements one reviews an ancient tribal rite of the African jungles, he is again acquainted with the war dance of the American Indian just before he attacks his ag- gressors. In short, the dance of to- day is the mockery of yesterday, it is the disgust of tomorrow. But after all is said and done, who of us is not delighted with Wayne King and his music? He is undoubtedly the Waltz King of America, yet one need not be a dancer to appreciate his melo- dies. The radio has made us his friend, the waltz has made us his partner. I am happy to note that the waltz is still kept inviolate. This does not mean that all people waltz alike, but they do strive for a definite end-gracefulness. Yes, I am disgusted. My partner of last night was very disappointing. J. L. BROWN, '34. Xl .. ,y, . THE ARISTOCRAT AMONG ANIMALS. If the lion is king of the animals, then the cat is crown prince. Aristoc- racy and good breeding are found in the commonest of cats. Even in kittens a certain aloofness is discernible. Dur- ing the period of graceful growth, haughtiness and scorn develop. No other animal is so dignified and disdainfulg no other animal has so superb a mien and so arrogant an appearance. Some people feel that their chief character- istics is superciliousness, or that they show selfishness and disagreeable ten- dencies. To these people I say: If you do not like cats, it is because you do not know them. Besides, it really was the human being who gave this haughti- ness to the cat's ancestors. Hundreds of years ago, the cat was worshipped as an idol and petted and pampered by all. Rebuke and maltreat- ment were unknown. The cat grew ac- customed to the luxurious living which accounts for his fastidious appetite and desires. Today, even as many human beings do, they retain of their broken aristocracy and high position only one remnant of former splendid living- pride, a sort of pride discernible in every move of the little animal. Watch the cat stride across the street. It act- ually expects the cars to stop and let it pass. See the look of pained surprise as he angrily scuttles to be out of the monster's way. Of all the animals which God cre- ated for man, the cat has the most varied and individual idiosyncrasies. My 2-,ll 1934 milfnrh leigh Srhnnl I 1934 ig 76 ii? 49ak.Hftlg,mtil 7 ug own cat, for instance, declines to touch common milk and insists upon either cream or evaporated milk. During the winter, I used to dilute the latter with a little warm water. Of late Bobby has been suspicious of the added liquid. Now he refuses to touch any form of white fluid unless he can see it poured from the can into the dish. He also likes a varied diet. For two days in succession he will eat his liver or chick- en with no complaint, but if on the third day some new delicacy does not appear, he gazes scornfully at the offered plate and prepares to starve in his dignified way. How small he makes one feel by a cold glance of his eyes! One thing which delights most cats who have not grown too large to play, is a swinging string. To stretch out his front paws in an attempt to catch the dangling string, to lazily watch it swing, to craftily ignore it and suddenly to pounce upon it, seems to afford any cat an exquisite joy. Perhaps it reminds him of sparkling necklaces, of golden chains, of silver pieces, and smoking in- cense pots offered before his ancestors' haughty eyes. The cat seems to express his pleasure more easily than other animals and more easily than his ire. To rub up against his mistress' ankles, to purr himself to sleep in her arms, to snuggle up to her neck and play with a straying curl-all these express his love and friendship. People rave about their dogs. They praise their fidelty and unselfishness but no home can be complete without a cat. The cat is symbolic of all that is home- like and cozy. He is an emblem of love and gentle homelife. You may have your mongrels, hounds, and pekingese for pets, but leave me in silence before the fireside with my chocolates, with my story books, and with my cat. DOROTHY JACKSON, ,34. i--X-- MORBUS AMORIS. Morrbzcs amoris is one of the most fatal diseases known to mankind. Al- though it is a common malady, no per- manent cure has yet been found. My intimate knowledge of this subject has been derived from experience and ob- servation of fellow sufferers. Conse- quently I am in a position to know the seriousness of this illness and generous- ly desire to pass on my extensive in- formation to science. The most intense forms of Morbus armoris appear in young people usually quite early in the spring. The first symptom is the loss of appetite, soon a general increase of personal vanity may be observed. Little by little the palpi- tations of the heart throb with aug- mented rapidity. The eyes show a strange brilliance, and the nostrils di- late. These usually appear at intervals when the afflicted person comes in con- tact with a fellow sufferer of the op- posite sex. In the case of feminine patients the lips begin to tremble and the bosom to heave. Soon mental indications are mani- fest by a sudden and overwhelming love for nature in the form of roses, moons, and babies. About the same time the patient becomes interested in homemaking and gardening magazines, and unexpected attention is paid to kitchenettes and the price of spare ribs. Despondency, morbidity, listless- ness, unaccustomed pallor and cynicism will probably be discernible for several days at a time, but this is usually of short duration. The natural color soon returns and despondency gives way to mysterious ecstasy. The crisis is now approaching. Care should be taken to overlook spasms and fits of absentmind- edness and tremulous smiles. If the patient has shown all these symptoms and probably a few others, he or she 2.-211934 milfnrh High sfhunl 1212.4 ml? Wah 7 ilg,a11il 7 ug I may be considered incurable, and nature must take her course. Then the crisis itself. Blushes, low murmurs, intimate glances, and smiles become confused with diamonds, golden hoops, misty veils, and priests. Finally old shoes, rice, confetti ribbons, bou- quets, and crepe paper end the anxiety of watchful spectators, and the malady may be considered a permanent afflic- tion which has already done its worst.

NOTE-This essay was awarded the prize in the Honorable John E. Swift Oratorical Contest given on April 25, 1934 in the Assembly Hall. The Constitution is essentially the safe-guard of the liberty of the Ameri- can people. In the Preamble to the Constitution, we are told that this docu- ment was written to perfect the Union, establish Justice, preserve order, pro- vide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterityf' The very name America has always been synonymous with Liberty. It was love of Liberty which drove the Pil- grims to our shores, it was the desire for Liberty which led to the Revolution- ary War, and when the struggle of the American people was at last rewarded, they made sure that the fruits of their labor would be preserved forever by guaranteeing this Liberty in their Con- stitution. What is this Liberty which is more precious in the eyes of man than even Life itself? Would we say merely that it is freedom-the unrestrained right to follow our own inclinations? This con- ception of Liberty would, after all, be a selfish one. True Liberty respects the rights of others. Therefore, the laws of the Constitution guarantee Liberty, not only to one person regardless of the interests of others, but to each and every individual of our nation. Let us see wherein our liberty lies. First, each and every person has the right to express his opinions freely pro- vided, of course, that he does not injure another. He need not fear that at any 12134 milfnrn High Svrhunl I 14.134 ,E 78 ak! flganh 7 ug moment. the wrath of the government will descend upon him for some un- guarded word. Freedom of the press gives him another medium through which to express himself. Also, the right of every man to wor- ship his God in the way which to him seems fittest is acknowledged by the Constitution. Compare the broad- minded attitude of the United States with the shameful persecution of the Jewish people in Germany, and better appreciate our Constitution. There is no religion which does not teach good citizenship, and therefore everybody has the right to satisfy his own conscience. As a. further safe-guard of free- dom, men are allowed to assemble that they may discuss matters relating to their government, and if they find that they are being denied certain rights which should lawfully be theirs, they may petition the government for a re- dress of their grievances with the as- surance that their plea will be answered. The same Constitution has agreed that no citizen of the United States shall claim a title of nobility. A man must in all fairness be judged by what he is, by what he does with his own hands and his own brain, and not be the reflected glory of a title which was given to one of his ancestors as a re- ward for his achievements. Every citizen of the United States has the right to vote regardless of race, color, creed, or sex, and thus he may create the laws and elect the statesmen which will best safe-guard his interests. Another provision of the Consti- tution states that a man may not be de- prived of his property without just com- pensation and except by due process of law. A person may turn his earnings into a home, or a ship, or Liberty Bonds, and really own them. He may feel sure that earnings of his hard work cannot be taken from him unless he is paid their just value in return. The gov- ernment itself must pay the individual in order to take his private property for public use. However, it often happens that a person violates his right either inten- tionally or unknowingly, and it is necessary that he be punished. The Constitution provides that a man cannot be held for a crime until he has been indicted by a Grand Jury. When he is formally charged with the crime, he has the right to be heard by a jury that he or his attorney may defend him. Dur- ing the hearing he may not be forced to give evidence against himself. If the person has really done wrong, he is given some punishment. This punishment, however, is to be only as severe as the crime warrants. The Constitution forbids that a man shall receive too heavy a fine, or be subject to a cruel or too severe punishment. When the person shall have atoned for his mistake, his debt to society is paid, and he may not be punished again for the same thing. The Constitution also gives every person the right to demand a Writ of Habeas Corpus. For instance: A young man might be envious of the fortune of his elderly aunt. With a little trouble, and the verification of dishonest doctors, he could easily prove that the poor woman was insane, un- able to manage her own affairs, and soon she would be hidden away in some asylum where she would be no obstacle to the scheming nephew. It would seem that the woman would have to spend her days in imprisonment while her nephew squanders her money, but when she demanded a Writ of Habeas Corpus, the government would free her until the matter should be settled. Government officials would of course dis- cover the truth, the woman would re- gain her freedom, and the culprit would be punished. 2,-,il 12:34 milfnrh align Srhnnl 12134 ak,Eilg,a11il 7 Hg In addition to these privileges, a citizen has the right to keep arms, and he may be secure in the privacy of his own home, for his house is exempt from unreasonable searches. An oiiicer must have very good grounds for searching a houseg he must swear out a warrant stating just what he intends to find there, and how much of it before he can enter. Before the Revolutionary War, the people were outraged because in time of peace they were forced to take into their homes and feed soldiers who were there ostensibly as a protection. There- fore, when the Constitution was formed, the people made sure that this would never happen again. Soldiers cannot be quartered in private homes in peace time, and in war-time, only when the government thinks it strictly neces- sary. If our government should contract debts in the form of pensions or boun- ties, it is bound to discharge them, and it has long ago showed that it is trust- worthy. These rights and many others are guaranteed by the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. No law can be passed by the United States or any state which takes these rights away. Thus the Constitution is the guardian of our liberty and happiness. Truly our constitution is a great document. Other nations the world over have copied it. Let every citizen study it well that in knowing it he may learn to love it. Know that Liberty does not mean law-breaking. It is only through upholding the laws which are made for our happiness that we can en- joy the fullest liberty. America expects her citizens to love and revere and de- fend this Constitution. It is the senti- nel of a free nation. ELEANOR BoYER, '34, NOVEMBER.

As a feminist, educator, advocate of world peace, and leader of various social welfare projects, our First Lady has definitely and capably taken her stand as the leader of American women. Historians say that not since Abigail Adams advised both a president and a president-to-be has there been a mistress in the White House who could be compared with the one who now holds this exalted position. Mrs. Roosevelt is, above all, a model mother and wife. Although she has many outside interests, she budgets her time so that most of it can be spent with her family. In regard to her child- ren she says: I should be very unhappy if I thought that in the future the lives of my children were to be restricted or dominated by the fact that their father had been elected to the presidency. Their lives are their own, and it is their es- sential privilege and birthright, to keep them so. I like to feel that I can be of some use to them, that I am here when they want to turn to meg but I feel that to try to infiuence them against their better judgment is a responsibil- ity none of us should be willing to as- sume. Parents should, I think, try to switch over to the role of friends- close friends-and'if, in that capacity, children come to them with their confi- dences and problems, try to give them the benefit of their experiences. Her love for children is not restrict- ed to her own family. She receives many groups of young people at the White House and talks with them about the children of other countries. Many of her books, newspaper articles, and radio talks deal with the younger gen- eration. She has remarked that she has learned more from her own children than from any other source. As ofhcial hostess in the White House, Mrs. Roosevelt performs many duties in addition to those of other first ladies. She has elimnated a great deal of 'unnecessary formality and has achieved a Washington miracle in trans- forming state dinners into functions where everyone has a good time. As her own housekeeper, she has reduced the White House expenses twenty-five per cent, and many people are now re- ceived informally for breakfast, lunch- eon, tea, and dinner. The second-fioor rooms are open for visitors' inspection under the personal guidance of Mrs. Roosevelt. A homely but accurate des- cription of the impression she makes on most of her visitors was given by a Gloucester fisherman. After Mrs. Roosevelt had shown him her bedroom, which was formerly the Lincoln study, he remarked, She ain't dressed up, and she ain't scared to talk. She receives people of all ranks with the same kind welcome that she gave the eighty-one-year-old Kentuckian who longed for just one meal at the White House before she died. Speaking of housekeeping, she says: If women would simplify their housework, they'd be much happier. What is needed is a system which will get the work done and yet tie the house- 1934 illililfnrh 1-Iigh Svrhnnl 1934 84 ak! i1g,.:mh 7 ug wife down as little as possible. Al- though my interests are varied, she adds, I still manage to see that Frank- lin gets his favorite dishes. Mrs. Roosevelt is one of the Presi- dent's most capable assistants. Both she and the President share a love for the out-of-doors and enjoy picnics and outings whenever their work permits. She has been called the President's ear to the ground. This is explained by the fact that she is able to study con- ditions for which he cannot find the time, and bring back to him, as no one else can, accounts which help him to solve distressing social problems. This task is made easier for her because of her simple and friendly at- titude, which makes one forget that she is the Presidentls wife. She is as much at home in a humble farmhouse kitchen as in a drawing room at Newport. Her entrance into public life was made pri- marily to keep alive the President's in- terest in active aiairs when he was threatened with permanent invalidism. Her cheerful disposition and alert mind have always been refreshing aids to the President when he becomes wearied by his many duties. Immediately after the inauguration of the President, an increased public notice was taken of Mrs. Roosevelt's ac- tivities, and comment was made upon her supposed desire for public notice. One of her earliest appearances after her arrival in Washington was in the gal- lery of the House of Representatives, where she was photographed knitting a white wool sweater. Unfriendly ob- servers remarked that this was obvious- ly planned for publicity. However, it was done from habit and not to attract attention. It is now a well known fact that Mrs. Roosevelt knits frequently and everywhere. She has done so for many years, and one of her achieve- ments during the World War was to teach the firemen to knit socks for the soldiers. She does not care for person- al attention and avoids it whenever pos- sible. However, she realizes the impos- sibility of avoiding it entirely, and therefore accepts her lot gracefully. She knows what it means for the news- paper reporter to lose an assignment, and, unlike other prominent people, does not refuse to be interviewed or in- sist on being photographed at certain distances or in special lighting. She willingly pauses when she steps out of an airplane or her blue roadster to oblige the photographers and reporters who surround her. The public activities of the Presi- dent's wife are numerous. Besides her position as hostess in the White House, she is the Honorary President of the Girl Scouts and an active manager of the Todhunter school in New York where she formerly taught. She is the Vice President of the Van Kill Shops in a corner of the Hyde Park estate, where reproductions of early American pieces are made by craftsmen. She be- longs to and takes an active part in wo- man's and political organizations. Be- sides this, she is an active social work- er, is editor of a magazine, writes books, and gives radio talks. Whatever money she obtains by her work is given entire- ly to charitable organizations. Mrs. Roosevelt reads continually, having ac- quired a love for books during the lone- ly years between the time when she was left an orphan at the age of ten, and when she was sent at fifteen to Made- moiselle Souvestre's school near London. Therefore she is very well read and has a vast knowledge concerning every type of work. This knowledge sometimes proves embarrassing as is evidenced by the following: A biographer once said, I've just had a bad fifteen minutes with Mrs. Roosevelt. She, unfortunately, knew exactly what I've done and worse-how I did it. As long as I can veil my 1934 illililfnrh High Qrhnnl 1934 ak! ilg,zmiI 7 ug method, at least I can get away with in all lines of endeavor, and her courage my stuff-but I couldn't here. One can easily realize that her trips among the poor are prompted by her love of humanity. One account which she related to the President after re- turning from a mining district proved of great importance to the suferers of that and similar communities. She found a family living in a dilapidated shack. The youngest child had just died of pneumonia, which had been contract- ed when the rain came through the broken windows. The family had been forced to live here because they had been unable to pay their rent. As a re- sult of this account, the President in- sisted that miners be paid in legal money and not be compelled to live in company houses or buy in company stores. Mrs. Roosevelt is admired and loved by everyone, not only because of her outstanding personality, but also for her unselfish generosity, her ability to be herself and do what seems right to her. Our First Lady has stated in her own words the standard of living she has set for herself. The nobility of character of this remarkable woman is clearly revealed in the following excerpt from her recent book It's Up to the Women : It is important that women think beyond the mere moment through which we are passing and acquaint themselves with all phases of life and conditions in our own country. I think we shall have fulfilled our mission well if when our time comes to give up ac- tive work in the world, we can say we never saw a wrong without trying to right itg we never intentionally left un- happiness where a little eiort would have turned it into happiness, and we were more critical of ourselves than we were of others. Classmates of 1934: We have reached the goal which we set out to at- tain four short years ago. Each one must proceed alone to achieve success in his chosen line of endeavor. On behalf of the class, I wish to extend sin- cere gratitude to the school board, to Mr. Caswell, Mr. Berry, parents, teach- ers, and friends who have instructed us and given us encouragement. With knowledge for power-as our motto suggests-we are about to start our journey, bidding a fond farewell to our high school days and cherishing the happy memories associated with them.

Agricultural tracts of land have been pillaged and plundered. Although there is a deficit in the treas- ury, the people have been impoverished by excessive taxation. Deplorable con- ditions prevail on all sides. Although our country has emerged victorious in all the wars it has been engaged in, the effects upon the people and soil have been lamentable. Few people exist in France today who can claim tolerable living condi- tions. The entire population has suf- fered greatly by these wars. The people can scarcely hoard enough money to provide for their food. The poor con- dition of the soil does not afford a good supply of food. We must put an end to this inter- minable war! Its chief accomplishment is disaster and ruin for the country and its people. We must aim for the better- ment of our country financially and socially and the only way in which to make France prosperous is through the absolute abolition of war and its evils! We are pleased that the Treaty of Utrecht is signed. DEATHS. Renand, J ean-died September 4, at his home at 19 Poignet Street, Paris. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at L'Eglise de Notre Dame.

Today, the French Academy, at the suggestion of our ever-popular King, Louis XIV, and acting on the principles of its founders Colbert and Richelieu, elected Mademoiselle de la Valliere as a member of its select group. Mademoi- selle de la Valliere is well known among the social class of Paris. She has often been seen among royalty and is very popular. The appointment might be the beginning of radical changes in France, as the women may become prominent in both the political and public affairs of the nation. Besides making the appointment, the Academy made plans to celebrate Literary Day, which is to be held in connection with the King's birthday. Although the Academy has been formed for only a few years, it has made many fundamental changes. By its study and alterations in the French grammar, new and important words have been put in- to use and an extreme change has been made in French writings. The forma- tion of the Academy by Richelieu has caused considerable interest among both the French nobility and commons, in matters of a higher degree of literature and composition. MINOR NOTES, Corneille's tragic drama Le Cid was presented at the Comedy. It was received with great pleeasure. The Farmer-General started his annual collection of taxes today. John Robinson of Bristol and Thomas Wentworth, representatives at the Treaty of Utrecht left for England today.

Mademoiselle Malvina Tusoni A great celebration Was held in honor of the King's seventy-fourth birth- day. There vvas a royal ball and later a banquet in the famous Hall of Mir- rors. Many of the nobles Were attract- ed to the affair. Louis XIV is a handsome man of elegant and courtly mein, With the most exquisite perfection of manner, sound judgment, and quick apprehension. He is a hard Worker and spends several hours a day attending of the government. Although the king four years of age, he is very nimble and his hair curled to the business is novv seventy- quick. He still Wears and powdered, and has some of the most costly laces and velvets in France. After a most enjoyable evening the aifair was brought to a close by a re- production of one of Racine's plays. Treaty Signed Peace Treaty Ratified at Utrecht PARIS-News has been received from Monsieur Villars that the treaty has been signed at Utrecht. The repre- sentatives of the countries engaged in the yvar-England. the Netherlands, the emperor, France, and Austria have at last come to an agreement vvhich is satisfactory to all. To prevent our country from gain- ing more territory, and to preserve the balance of power originated by an Englishman, these countries fought against us. The agreements are as follows: 1. Spain-Philip Y may rule Spain and her colonies provided that Spanish and French croyvns shall never come under one head. 2. England Will acquire Nova Scotia, New Foundland, the Hudson Bay region, and Gibraltar. 3. The Netherlands received certain fortresses for protection. 4. Austria received the Spanish Neth- erlands. PARIS-The War of the Spanish Succession has at last been closed. The provisions provide that France and Spain must never be under the same rule. Under this condition Philip was made king. If this were not so. Louis would have jurisdiction over France, Spain, and regions in North and South America. As a result France novv has power over her country only. Ghalxi ilganh 7 ug Ctilaaa 1-Iiatnrg RE The memories of our school days will always be the most pleasant of our lives. Never shall we forget the four years that we spent at Milford High School. Perhaps it will be a joy to recall at some future time these events which now may appear somewhat unimportant. Early in September, 1930, one hundred eighty-three students entered Milford High School as members of the Freshman class. The first year in High school was a decided change from pre- ceding years. We had to accustom our- selves to a single afternoon session, more advanced subjects, and regular home study. Many will remember the Friday afternoon assemblies that were held each week in the Freshman year. The meetings were arranged so that each pupil spoke at least once on a topic se- lected by himself. Twenty-five students joined Miss SanClemente's Debating Society. The club had a very success- ful season, for the members debated upon four interesting subjects before large audiences in the Assembly Hall. In the Sophomore year, our class numbering one hundred fifty-six, entered the morning session. Students were given the privilege of specialization in the second year. Those taking the col- lege course were introduced to the Ro- mance languages. Pupils pursuing the technical course were permitted to broaden the scope of their scientific studies. Business students were given instruction in their chosen field. Since We attended school in the morning, members of our class were eligible to take part in athletics. At an enthusiastic meeting held early in the fall of 1931, Coach Riopel, predicted that Milford High would have one of its greatest football teams that year. I should not be so presumptuous as to say that he made that statement because of the entrance of our class into ath- letics, but one must admit that upon our arrival as Sophomores, Milford climbed to an eminence in the sport- ing world from which it has not yet fallen. The team was highly successful that yearg it won ten of the eleven games played. In 1932, Milford High had a base- ball team commonly recognized as the greatest aggregation of its kind ever seen in this section of the country. Dur- ing that hectic season, our team won twenty-one games and was acclaimed as the State champion. The boys de- feated Cambridge Latin School in a post-season game played on Town park. That game was a victory first for the school and second for the class of '34, for the winning battery consisted of Arthur Kenney and Henry Comolli, both members of our class. One must remember that in Milford we take our baseball with intense interest. A crowd of ive thousand people is not un- usual at a Milford High School game. At the beginning of the Junior year, Mr. Frank C. Berry became Prin- cipal of the High school when Principal Thomas J. Quirk accepted a position in Hartford, Connecticut. Mr. Berry was closely connected with our class since most of the pupils studied algebra and geometry with him. During Mr. Berry's administration several important changes took place. Chief among these was the new system of examinations. At the end of each 12134 I milfurh High Srhnnl I 12:34 ak! ilgastttil 7 ug term, two successive Fridays are set apart from the regular schedule as ex- amination days. On the first Friday, tests are held for the subjects studied in the first three periods, and a week later tests are held covering subjects taught in the last three periods. This system of examination proved both successful and popular. Other changes include the publication of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy in the form of a Year book and the insti- tuition of a Senior week. In the Junior year the members of the class became eligible to join the various clubs of the school. Mr. Met- calf's Science Club, with a membership of fifteen, had the most successful year in its history. Twenty members of our class joined the David Garrick Dramatic Club, which was under the direction of Miss O'Connell. Others joined Miss Ford's Chemistry Club. With such a variety of clubs from which to choose, each pupil found some organization to suit his particular outside interest. In the fall of 1932, Milford High had an outstanding football team. The boys went through a severe schedule and suffered only one defeat and won nine games. Our baseball team of 1933 lived up to pre-season expectations by winning fifteen games and losing but two. Milford defeated with ease such widely heralded nines as Brockton, Nor- wood, Framingham, and Cambridge Latin. The record of our team was far superior to the record of any other High school in the State, but the Boston sport writers were very reluctant to admit that little Milford could consistently produce better baseball teams than the city schools. Our Junior Prom, held in the Town Hall February 3, 1933, was the out- standing social event of the year. The dance, which was arranged by the class Dance Committee, was attended by five hundred and was a social and financial success. The Junior Reception to the Seniors occurred June sixteenth. On May nineteenth, the Milford High School Orchestra, supervised by Miss Mae Comba, presented a concert in Town Hall. This was the first time in the history of the school that the or- chestra had given a public concert, and the excellence of the performance evoked much favorable comment among music lovers. In the fall of 1933, Mr. Frederic T. Steeves, '23, became athletic director, succeeding Mr. Riopel who had accepted a position at Holy Cross College. Since Mr. Steeves was formerly a star athlete at Milford High, his teams were awaited with keen interest. The football eleven of 1933 won six out of eight games, and Mr. Steeves' first baseball team gained wide recognition by defeating many outstanding teams including Norwood High, Boston Latin, Framingham High, and many others. The following officers were elected in the Senior year: President, Alfred Cook, Vice President, Amy Smith, Secretary, Elizabeth Webberg Treasur- er, Joseph Blasciog Historian, William O'Donnell. We found that the Senior year was the busiest of our four years at Milford High School. Our time was taken up from September to June not only by the usual studies, but also by extra-curricular activities. Many hours were required to prepare essays, short stories, and poems for the new Oak, Lily, and Ivy. Mr. Berry included re- presentative work from the various classes in the 1934 issue of the Year book. The members of the faculty and the committee headed by Emily Butcher '34, labored faithfully to make the pub- lication possible. Our class elected music to its course, and under the capable directing of Music Supervisor Helena F. Swift, we were well prepared for our musical contribution to the Commencement pro- gram. 12134 1 iiiaiifnrn align sfnnni 12:34 91 ah! flgaanh 7 ug In April the Seniors submitted es- says for the annual Patrick Peace Prize on the following subject, Propaganda, The Greatest Menace to Worlcl Peace. Later, essays on American Indepen- dence were written for the American Legion Medal. The Hon. John E. Swift Oratorical Contest was held on April twenty-fifth. Eight seniors participated in the contest which was won by Eleanor Boyer. At the end of May, Mr. Berig announced the list of class honors. The ten highest students in the order of their scholastic rank were: Amy Smith, William O'Donnell, Jane Wolfe, Eleanor Boyer, Maurice Hressman, Dorothy Jackson, Raymond Dinardo, Joseph Wyzan, Roy Knox, and Margaret Wat- son. Our orchestra of thirty-live pieces was directed by Mfr. Ben C. Lancisi '23, well-known conductor and musician. Under Bennie's efficient training, the orchestra was prepared for several per- formances including a concert, which was very creditably presented in Town Hall on May twenty-fifth. Robert Phil- bin of our class acted as concert-master. Class Week, from June twenty-fifth through the twenty-ninth, was the last week of the Senior year. On Monday, we enjoyed the plays presented by the David Garrick Club, our class day with its sports and entertainment was held on Tuesday, Graduation occurred Wed- nesdayg the Class outing was held on Thursday, and the annual Reunion of the Milford High School graduates took place Friday evening in Town Hall. Our Graduation exercises marked the close of our High school careers. The class of ,34 on that occasion offi- cially completed its course at Milford High School. Graduation, however, meant more than the mere completion of a secondary education. Our diplomas gave written testimony that we, as graduates, were ready to assume our share of the duties and responsibilities of manhood, womanhood, and citizen- ship. WILLIAM O'DoNNELL '34 Class Historian. 1934 l illllilfnrh Eliiigh Srhnnl 12134 ah.Eilg,a11h 7 ug Clllama will ALM Know all men by these presents that we, the elevated and exclusive body of intellectuals known as the class of '34, being of fairly sound mind Cthough some may doubt it for reasons best known to ourselvesj, no memory, and less understanding do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament drawn up and duly attested this twenty- seventh day of June, nineteen hundred thirty-four. Unto the faculty, we offer our thanks for their patience and under- standing, without which many of us would never have come out on top. Unto them We also leave the strength and endurance necessary to face another class. To the Juniors, our Cunl worthy successors, we do give the honor and duty of the perpetuation of our high ideals-the right to ask foolish ques- tions and to add to the teachers' gray hairs in a general way-to giggle in the midst of a serious discourse on the elec- tron theory-not to mention a generous appropriation of fool-proof alibis. We do also bequeath unto them a big dish of grapenuts daily to enable them to bridge successfully the perils of Burlceis Speech. Incidentally, we do give them due warning to keep their note-books up to date, for our instructors have both eyes open and all their senses in good working order. To the Sophomores, we bequeath a token of our affection in the form of an elongated honor roll. We remember even the Freshmen, and to them we do give the courage and perseverance to reach our high position. As a result of the sympathy and compassion born of bitter experience, we take great pleasure in bequeathing unto all under-graduates who use the portable chairs in Rooms 17, 37, 38, 39, 41, and 42, adjustable back-bones equipped with shock-absorbers. These hu- manitarian devices are to be handed down to future generations untilCWhen, oh when?D we get our new High school. We do donate to each and every student pens and pencils of assorted flavors, which they may chew during examinations. We hope that these may prove a great saver of nicely manicured fingernails. Unto our successors we thoughtful- ly donate enough glass jars and other receptacles to catch the drippings of the unnatural waterfall in the assembly hall on the days when Rain reigns supreme. To all those who aided us in editing our year book we do give our grateful thanks for the extensive help which they have given us in the compiling of this edition, our master-piece, and do grant them a crop of bigger and better sug- gestions for the Oak, Lily, and Ivy of future years. You Juniors, we know what you are waiting for-the dignity of a Sen-- ior. It has been passed from one class to another for so long that it has be- come a valuable antique, but, notwith- standing, it is just as good as new, and we now bequeath it to you. Unto Mr. Berry whose interest and faith in our humble efforts have been our constant guide and inspiration, we leave our gratitude and love, and we do hereby appoint him as the executor of this will. THE CLASS OF '34 By ELEANOR BOYER Its duly appointed testator. gy 1112.4 5 mfifnrn Eliiigh Qrhnnl 12:34 93 XC GBM! flgnnuh 7 ug 0115155 lgrnphvrg RE It was a beautiful night. Just ap- propriate for the informal party Jennie Celozzi was giving on her birthday. Be- ing of the Class of 1934, she decided to invite as her guests only the members of that class. She was Mrs. Someone or other, and prominent in the activities in the social world. Everyone knew her parties were excellent, and the success of this gathering was predestined. It was my first opportunity in eleven years to meet any of my classmates. You see, for those years, I had been in China gathering material for a book I intended to write, and I had heard nothing of what Fate had bestowed upon my former companions. I leaned back in my car. At last I was on my way! The address which I gave to my chauf- feur was among those in the aristocratic section of the town. I arrived at an awe-inspiring home at eight o'clock. Soft strains of music reached my ears. The party was in full swing. There were little shrieks of laughter, gasps of surprises, shocks at some change in an individual, tears, kisses, handclasps, hugs. Everyone seemed to be talking excitedly with someone else. I glanced around for my hostess and found her at the end of the hall talking to two men. I walked up to greet her, she hadn't changed a bit! We chatted for a minute, and she pre- sented to me the two men she had been addressing before I walked up. Surely, they couldn't be Bob McGinnis and Bill Jacques! But yes, they were the same old Bob and Bill, only a little gray, a little quieter. Almost immediately, we were conversing as though there had been no gap of eleven years in our lives. Bob told me that he now owned a line of State Theatres. He began as an ush- er, and by working hard and steadily, he was rewarded by a promotion to the mnagership. He didn't stop his splendid work, however, but kept plugging until at the present time, he was the proud possessor of a State Theatre in almost every city in the New England states. Billy ran as candidate for Senator, he was elected, and at the present time was trying his hardest to pass a bill to prove his value to Con- gress. I then moved among the guests and learned about several more of my class- mates. Porter was Representative from Massachusetts. Truly a worthy recom- pense for years of drudgery for recog- nition in the political field! I spied a man passing by and hailed him. It was Art Kenney! Comolli walked up, too. He greeted us cordially until he saw Art, then he became very cold, and soon excused himself. Art very soon followed him, but I noticed he took his place op- posite that taken by Camel In answer to my puzzled look, Jennie ex- plained that they were competing coaches in colleges that were hostile to each other. Both were excellent coach- es and so managed to get a clause in their contract whereby they were al- lowed to play in the Big Leagues dur- ing summer. They both played for the Blue Socks: Kenny pitching, Comolli catching. At these times, they were in- separable. Scarcely had the explanation been given, when the orchestra broke into a fast fox-trot. I looked up, startled, and caught the leader's glance. Ken How- ard! My hostess told me that Ken's or- chestra was one of the foremost in the 12134 I mfifmsn nigh sfipmi 12134 94 ak! flgacuh 7 ug country. It was composed of a number of our friends. Magee, Mosher, Crivello, Morelli, and Dion were some of his play- ers. The Misses Butcher, Droney, Merrilees, and Chafetz did a harmon- izing act, while Lou Milani sang solos. Suddenly, a figure danced out to the center of the floor. Rose Vasile! Yes, it was she, a famous dancer, who was in constant demand by the leading theatres of the country. The loud ap- plause demanded another performance. She returned and was ably assisted by a special chorus of the Misses Mazzone, Boccacino, Virghilli, D'Arcangelo, Dal- torio, Edmands, and DiPietro, all of whom traveled with her. The chorus refused to repeat their number, but when Professor Robert Philbin, the Dean of Music in one of our leading col- leges, consented to play their accom- paniment on the piano, they favored us with another encore. At the conclusion of his contribution, Bob was forced to render several encores. He had a won- derful mastery over the piano and played with a great display of skill. Fitzpatrick, a comedian with in- ternational fame, decided to render his contribution to the evening's success. However, he merely gave a list of those absent but in an entirely amusing man- ner, so that we gathered information as to their whereabouts. It seems that George Bilsbury was a jeweler of some note. Midge Kennelly and Avis Alger were both beauticians. Miss Roy was married. She was known to sing at musicals and entertainments, but refused to consider a radio audition. She thought that being a wife was a better career. Jane Wolfe was a recog- nized journalist. Her writings won her a great number of followers and ad- mirers, and any editor who was lucky enough to secure her articles was as- sured a splendid circulation for his journal. The Misses Foley, Morcone, M. Smith, Kalenda, and McCarthy had entered into an agreement to operate a ranch with female help only. It was a success, too. The THREE V'S, a large restaurant, was owned by the Misses Varney, Venditti, and Vallie. They had as their main feature our Miss Marcus, who was adept at imitations. Soon after Fitzie's information, dinner was announced. William O'Don- nell, professor in Yarvard College, acted as toastmaster for the evening. Re- marks were given by Miss Calarese, teacher of business courses, who had founded a secretarial school of her ovvng Ernest Bragg, a renowned chemist and pal of Einstein, Dottie Jackson, the successor to Emily Post, and by Roy Knox, my friendly rival in writ- ing, whose recent novel had won him the coveted Pulitzer prize. My eyes were directed for the moment toward Dot Lawson, whose sole interest was in her occupation, as dietician. Here she was trying to analyze each calory of our food, because she was planning a similar meal for her lucky patients. When the last course was served, Al Cook, who temporarily put aside his dignity of being principal of the Stacy School, joined with John Alberta, well- to-do barberg Blascio, the Mayor of Milford, and Dinard-3, a well-known ex- plorer, and formed the ABCD quar- tette, which ably led us in the singing of their famous song Let Me Call You Sweetheart. Someone suggested the Virginia Reel. No sooner said than done. The Hoor was immediately cleared, and everyone rushed for his partner. Bel- lantonio, who was my partner, told me that he was manager of all the theatres McGinnis owned. Tessicini, Streeter, and Gattoni were his assistants. The dance began and was led by Hoot Brown, the dance evangelist, who was a Big Shot at last. Among his part- ners for the evening was Kathryn Hayes, who had recently been elected 1212.4 I Hiilfnril align semi 12134 95 ak! flganh 7 ug first woman governor of Massachu- setts. By the end of the dance, we were all just High school kids It was so easy to fall back into the happy comradeship that we had known be- fore we were graduated. Mary Ander- son and Dorrie Lutz were very popu- lar at the affair, and they both had a chance to put to use a little of their profession. Andy had studied dress designing in an exclusive Paris school. Her fame in this profession grew to such a height, that all the debutantes and actresses of Hollywood sought her services. She had designed the dress that Mary Lawless wore. Mary, by the way, was another popular leader in the '400.' Dorrie had to mend a cut which Atty. Consoletti received during that unforgettable dance. You've guessed her occupation. Yes, she's a nurse. More than just that, she and the Misses Amy Smith and Libbey Webber, the wealthiest members of our class, do- nated the large hospital, where Dorrie worked tirelessly, aided by her staff, con- sisting of Misses Sannicandro, Ruscitti, Pofrzio, and Serrano. Irene Michaloski was a great tennis star who competed against Reynolds in her last tourna- ment. The result had been a draw. Reynolds was one of the leading busi- ness men in the city, but took up ten- nis playing during his spare hours. Here they were seen talking with Thompson, Zeke's manager, both in ten- nis and in the ofiice. Probably they were arranging for a second meet. It seems that Rae, a devotee of polo playing, had recently fallen off his horse more times than had the Prince of Wales. He begged Miss Cass to come over and take his picture, and she informed him that she was now an artist and not a photographer. Bodio, an art critic, told us more which Hazel was too modest to admit. He showed us the oil painting which she drew of Miss Watson, skating champion, which our hostess had hanging in the draw- ing room. He spoke so highly of her work that she accused him of being a poor critic. We knew diierently, however, for we remembered her splen- did work for the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. Margaret Naughton and Laura Grillo, both competing interior decora- tors of wide recognition, then suggested a game called HINCIDENTALSU, where anyone could ask anyone else a question, personal or impersonal: Francis Finn shouted that he was man- ager of the First National Stores, before anyone could ask him. Miss Temple- man informed us, on being questioned, that she owned the Mayiiower Cafe, where everything was provided for en- tertainment by her assistants the Misses Gorgliormella, Angus, Barberi, and Ci- vinini, all of whom had taken a course in dramatics and who put on splendid and well-interpreted acts. M. Alberto told us he was the owner of a hotel in Miami, and hoped to make as much money in that capacity as did Kilburn and Sherman in the fulrniture business, who claimed that their rug-making business, which was their specialty, was hard to beat. Pavento told us that he was often called Spinach because he was an aviator, and the name of his airplane was POPEYE. He didn't have to tell us that, because even I had heard of his great flying ability. We next tried to play the Feudy Food game, where each person had to answer and explain his occupation from a food mentioned. Marcus responded to Potato because he was an oculist, and as he put it, The eyes have it. Tomato suited Farese's occupation, because he was a chemist where acid plays an important part. The reason Glatky and Cenedella answered to the name Pear was be- cause they were in the shoe business. Their cry was: Anybody want to buy a pair of shoes? Miss Cenedella was 1534 Hiilfnril El-Iigh aivrhnnl I 1534 96 ah.HEflg,m1h 7 ug fortunate enough, it seems, to have se- cured a position as their secretary. Allen thought that Bananas Would answer the requirements of his profes- sion. He was searching the world over for unique animals, and he found out that the few he had, all considered Bananas their favorite food. Ruhan, Malnati, Castiglione responded to Oranges, They explained that they were all traveling salesmen and repre- sentatives of the O'Neil Steamship Lines. When they were asked where the oranges came in they replied, Oh, range's our home. This pleasantry had to be explained to Salvia, lVIilford's leading dentist, who couldn't see the point. Eleanor Boyer was accompanied by her assistant, Connie Vircs, Whose re- markable memory had proved so bene- iicial to Eleanor in editing the Massa- chusetts Teachers' Manuel. Eleanor asked Carlson Why he emphasized the CH of his name in his advertising cam- paigns. He was an architect, he ex- plained, and as long as it included C ment, he wanted it that Way. Marge Rockwood and Angie Bevilacqua were both business Women and were proud to be reminded of the fact. Wyzan and Pressman, however, were the most successful in living their lives, because they compiled the Wy- press Dictionary. I say successful be- cause think of the words they have at their command to explain themselves when occasion demands it. , In three hours of continued hilar- ity, We played about seven games, until someone suggested that we disperse. We parted at last, but with definite plans for a reunion at the end of the next ten years. The last cry heard Was:- Fare- well, Class of '34, and the best of luck to you all.

Among the many who responded were only three veterans from the pre- ceding year. It was therefore neces- sary to prepare a practically new squad, and the boys were carefully and well in- structed in the necessary requirements for the successful completion of a grid- iron season. An intensive pre-game season of practice resulted, during which the squad became acquainted with the required technique for its schedule. On September 30, Milford traveled to Attleboro where we were victorious by a score of 12 to 6. Although the At- tleboro boys scored in the first half, they were unable to hold the heavy Milford team throughout the remainder of the game. Captain Comolli's great line plunging featured in this game. On October 7, Clinton visited Mil- ford and was determined to avenge its defeat of the preceding year. How- ever, she proved no match for Milford and was defeated to a tune of 19 to 0. On October 12, Columbus Day, Mil- ford traveled to Marlboro where she defeated a strong team by a score of 14 to 0. Porter made one of the great- est plays in a football game by block- ing a kick and running forty-five yards for a touchdown. On October 28, Natick visited Mil- ford and was defeated after a hard battle by a score of 6 to O. In this game Milford tallied in the last quarter when Porter recovered a fumble on the Natick 34 yard-line which led to the score. On November 11, we traveled to Framingham where we suffered our second defeat of the season by a score of 6 to 0. In this game Doc Kennedy raced 85 yards for the lone touchdown after intercepting a forward pass. On November 17, Milford traveled to Norwood where she suffered her third defeat at the hands of Norwood High School by a score of 19 to 0. The Bader-to-Jack Howard-passing combina- tion, which was defeating all Norwood's opponents, also added Milford High School to its undefeated record. On November 28, Thanksgiving Day, Milford defeated Walpole, its last opponent, by a score of 7 to O. In this game Milford scored in the last period after a hard fought game. The Milford High School football squad for 1933 was represented by the following players: Captain Henry Comolli, Joseph Blascio, George Porter, Charles Goodnow, Sam Farese, Kenneth Howard, George Bils- bury, Carroll Mosher, Arthur Sabatin- elli, Louis Milani, Harvey Marcus, Harold Marcus, Albert Bonetti, Leo Castiglione, Eben Reynolds, Frank Ghiringhelli, Ernest Roberti, Richard Siegel, Fred Cugini, John Doyle, William Burns, Louis Luchini, Albert Cummings, Mario Marchionda, David Sibson, Joseph Murray, Leroy Butter- field, Michael Iadarolla, Socrates Sa- maris, Mario Fontecchio. 12134 I Hiilfnrh Ensign Qrhnnl 11134 1 03 sl QP fe UD . as 4: r: ,, o Q22 2 P55 E S S .51 . ,,, , vw m2,'-1. ffm: g sw H 5 E' S .D we :A .o'1.:: .fm 4151.

Riopel who left our school to become the Freshman physical instructor at Holy Cross College. Early in September Coach Steeves assumed his duties. Milford is by no means new to Mr. Steeves. A few years ago, while a student at Milford High, Ted Steeves was gaining wide recognition as one of the finest athletes in this section. Following his graduation from Milford High in 1923, Mr. Steeves attend- ed Springfield College. Here he studied physical education and specially pre- pared himself to be a coach. After graduation, he served as Freshman coach at that school. Mr. Steeves received more valuable experience when he played professional baseball for several seasons with the Binghamton Club in the New York-Pennsylvania League. Milford High school is fortunate in having as its physical instructor this fine athlete and gentleman. gf 1934 illililfnril Fl-Iigh Srhnnl 1534 107 E i i w 108 Q ' X '-is ,R xaxkff ' x -' ' .. -,t ,.qf 'f.

The early meetings of the club were devoted to the technique of the theatre. On the evening of October twenty-sixth, members of the Club witnessed a delightful performance of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew presented by the Avon Shakespearean Players at the Elizabeth Peabody Playhouse in Bos- ton. Clarence F. O'Connell, '25, a former member of the Garrick Club, en- acted the role of Grumio. At the invitation of Cups , the dramatic society of Clark University, Worcester, a production of Sun-up, by Sula Volmer, was attended by Club members on the evening of January nineteenth. At the present writing, the club is busy with preparations for the public program of plays which will be given during Commencement Week, Lot's Wife, another of Percival Wilde's amusing comedies, will open the program. Bimbo, the Pirate, a brilliant comedy of the eighteenth century, by Booth Tarkington, and Trifles, a tragedy by Susan Glaspell, will follow. SADIE A.

The Club held meetings on an average of twice a month and directed our interests to instructive discussions on the following subjects: The World's Fairg Heatg and Transportation. Interesting experiments were performed with dry ice and three scientific films were also shown. One of the most in- teresting meetings of the year was a lecture by Ernest Bragg. Sr.. who illus- trated his talk with a film, entitled 'tThe World's Fair of 1893 and of 19337 On April twentieth. the club inspected the local telephone exchange as the guests of manager Chauncey Brown. A most enjoyable Christmas party was held in the Assembly Hall and a final farewell party concluded the club's activities for the year. All the members are grateful to Mr. Metcalf for his efforts in making the club such a success. Respectfully submitted JEAN Y.

At each meeting, a French program was prepared and offered on an appointed day by one of the members of the Club. These meetings, carried on entirely in French, consisted of a presentation by each member of some French poem or song. The first selection was always The Lord's Prayer, L'O1'a,ison Dom- inicale, and no meeting could be considered complete without the French national anthem, La Marseilfaise, usually sung by our quartet. The programs proved amusing as Well as instructive, and occasional visitors seemed excep- tionally pleased and amused by some of the renditions. We all feel that this year of French has been the most pleasant which we have experienced. All credit is due our instructor, Miss Pianca, who by her efforts and helpful suggestions made the success of this Club possible.

It was organized and conducted by our able teacher, Miss Margaret Pianca. Each meeting was made pleasant by the singing and reci- tation of German songs and poems which preceded interesting discussions in German. On Friday evening February sixteenth, the Club journeyed to Boston and saw a German play, Hannele's Himmelfahrt, given by pupils of Boston Uni- versity. On May twenty-first the Club was honored by the visit of Herr Hans Helms. Having come over from Germany only ten years ago, Herr Helms gave an interesting and educational insight into the schools of Germany. He also related some very old legends pertaining to his country. Needless to says, the program was most delightful. In conclusion, We all wish to express our gratitude to our instructor and to extend heartiest Wishes for the future Deutsche Verein.

Zurlo of the faculty. Its purpose was to supplement the work of the classroom with information on Italian art, literature, and customs at each meeting, held on alternate Friday evenings in the Assembly Hall. Six selected members rendered short inter- esting talks, some in the Italian language, on various Italian subjects. During the year, the club Was addressed by Messers. William D. Leahy and Philip Cenedella and by Dr. Nicholas J. Capece, who illustrated his talk with Kodak films, which showed rare intimate glimpses of Italian life in se- cluded rural districts. This meeting Was greatly enjoyed by the Club and its guests. The Club's first social was an enjoyable Christmas Party attended by one hundred members and friends. With the forming of a second year class in Italian, We feel hopeful for increased success during 1934-35.

Meetings were held every two Weeks on Tuesday during the extra period. This year a brief course in Public Speaking Was added to the activities of the Club.
