A 19 Lillian May Abbondanza January 27 Commercial 50 East Main Street Ring Committee 3: David Gar- rick Club 3, 43 Senior Week Committee. No matter how many things she was asked to do, by teacher, pupil, or friend, Lil was always prepared and willing. Never once was heard that familiar re- mark, HI haven't got time. Her sincerity is the secret of her at- traction, and we love her for it. Charles P. Eric Abrahamson January 15 Technical 17 Westbrook Street Science Club 33 German Club 43 Tennis 43 Senior Week Com- mittee. Charlie wears a perpetual frown. But his lowering look is due only to his earnestness and deliberate way of doing things. Both in speech and on the tennis court, he is precise, direct, sure. He always appreciated a good joke and delighted us with his company on many a dull day, Bill Tilden has a rival in Charlie. Robert Randolph Anderson August 3 Technical 237 Congress Street French Club 45 German Club 4. Thoughtful, yet easy going: a lover of fun and common sense: a chap on whom we found that we could unload either our non- sense or our serious thoughts and be sure of an intelligent responsegin short, a Hrst-rate companion at all times. Elisa Amelia Andreano September 26 Commercial 8 Goodrich Court Dante Club 3g Dramatic Club 3. ' What! Have you forgotten where you sit? Poor Liza, she was forever losing her memory during spare period. No doubt she was anxious to get her work done and just sat in any conveni- ent chair. After becoming set- tled however, her time was al- ways occupied with study and gum chewing. Margaret Avakian December 25 Commercial 87 Prospect Heights Where have you been during these four years of our existence? We have put our scouts on your trail and have learned that your motto is, Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society. We approve. Lillian Marie Barsanti January 17 Commercial 52 Mt. Pleasant Street Dramatic Club 3. Miss Barsanti and Miss Cut- ropia-'tis truly a likeable com- bination. Their write-ups should be side by side, for one seems to act as a complement to the other. As said of old, Life has no blessings like a sincere friend. Both Lil and Anna are blessed. Rose Louise Marie Berrini June 22 College 10 Short Street Science Club 3, 45 German Club 43 David Garrick Dramatic Club 4. VVe were a little apprehensive of Rose's preoccupied seowl at first, but we soon discovered bright spots in her disposition. She really can be quite pleasant, and participates in many of the activities afforded by our school. Eleanor M. Bocaccino October 17 Commercial 61 Lawrence Street VVhen the snow falls and creates good facilities for coast- ing, Eleanor is all keyed up- coasting, you know, is her favor- ite sport. Happiness does con- sist in activity, doesn't it? Such is the constitution of this fair maiden's nature. Albert Louis Bonetti August 30 Commercial 14 Carroll Street Football 2, 3, 43 Baseball 2. Captain 4: Ring Committee 3: Book Committee 4. Haha ! Hohaha ! Hahahahaha! VVho is it? Right the first time --Beanie. We often wondered if he developed that what-do-I-care laugh after discovering his own humor. We gained an excellent sport. a good fellow, and many exciting and pleasant moments on the gridiron and diamond when Beanie entered our sacred port- als. Louise Adeline Bruno November 10 College 94 Depot Street David Garrick Dramatic ,Club 3: Senior Week Committee. Let us acquaint you with our Hsongbird of the south, our skating enthusiast, and our teacher-to-be. A pleasing con- versationalist, too, is Louise, and her conversation does not- exhibit a knowledge on matters of small importance either. X Albert Leroy Butterfield April 10 College TS South Bow Street Football 2, 3, 4, .We know that he absented himself from us more than was necessary. but we think highly of him nevertheless. He is a deep- thinking taciturn type of fellow, but we must say. with full credit to all concerned, A good listen- er is often the best company. He always maintained a spark- ling eheerfulness. Elizabeth Phyllis Cadman CCt9b9I' 2 Commercial 17 Draper Park David Garrick Club 3, 4, XVhat a talker! From morn 'till night come words, words, and more words from Betty. Oh. well. we envy her in a way, for the extreme is worse. Maybe Jay and the Ford coupe were the cause. Albert George Calagione February 11 Commercial 20 Depot Street Treasurer 3, 4: Football 3, 4: Orchestra, Ring Committee 3: Fenior Week Committee: Glee Club. Could you believe that a boy with such a husky voice could sing? Cal's interpretation of jazz is original, for he talks in correct tempo with the music. Here's to Cab Calloway's rival, for he'll sing through life in a husky tone. We mustn't forget that he's an accomplished sax player, too. Rosalie Minnie Campbell .Iune 14 College 27 Forest Street Senior VVeek Committee. Rosalie is quiet and reserved but has a cute little giggle, which we love to hear. She is very in- terested in 4-H work, and recent- ly spoke over the radio. YVish We could have heard you, Rosalie, if it were just to hear that little giggle. Arthur Garfield Canon September 15 College 30 Woodland Avenue Science Club 3, 4g Freshman Debating Club, Who would suspect this little man to have a heart so great within? However it is true, for Art, we think was the inspiration of the famous quotation, Good things come in little packages. We have found him to be clever, humorous. and a calm possessor of an insight into human nature. Pauline Theresa Carbone October 4 Commercial 22 Como Court David Garrick Dramatic Club Smiles wants to be an artist. We are certain that her assets and ability will paint the road of success a beautiful hue, for a smiling' countenance is to the face as a Sunbeam is to a land- scape. Mae Angelina Carboni May 22 Collegfi 30 Woodland Avenue Dante Club: David Garrick Dramatic. Culb. Senior Week Committee. We have been told that Mae likes to read. She also enjoys walking. Well, Mae, that's an in- expensive sport. Mae has studied faithfully all during her high school days. but somehow she never seems to get her who's and whiomts straight. We think, too, that she likes Portia's speech about the quality of mercy. Don't you? Julie Gertrude Carlson March 25 College 279 Main Street Vice-President German Club 4: David Garrick Dramatic Club 3, 4, Senior Week Committee. Julie surely surprised us in her excellent performance of Susan in the David Garrick play. Ways'ifZe War. But how glad we are that her talent was recognized before it was too late! We are mighty proud that we had you in our class, and take this opportunity of thanking you for many helpful suggestions. Not only did you make a hit in school, but also on the stage as Susan. You were splendid. N gAure1ia Emma Castiglioni April 29 College 106 East Main Street David Garrick Dramatic Club. 'tAurelia? No, I don't know her. Oh, you mean Dolly! Why cf course, I know Dolly Dimplesg and who doesn't'? We all re- member our Dolly and those friendly dimples of hers. We al- most lost her this year when she moved away, but she decided to return. And were we glad? Alfred Bernard Cenedella, jr. -December 23 College 175 Congress Street Class Treasurer, David Gar- rick Dramatic Club, Treasurer 3. 4: Freshman Debating Club: Dance Committee 3, 45 Baseball 33 Football 2. 3, 4. Business Manager, Oak, Lily, and Ivy: Senior Glee Club: Win- ner of John E. Swift Oratoricai Prize. Look at his picture and pond- er on his initials. Don't you think immediately of argument, broad-mindedness, and Courtesy? Certainly, and you agree too, and predict that his quick wit, clever neasoning, and gentlemanly bear- ing will place him in a position of honor and trust. Anita Louise Cistoldi March 8 Commercial 10 Fairview Road Dance Committeeg David Gar- rick Club 3, 45 Senior Week Committee. Nita really seems at home with all her class mates, which, of course, is to be expected. She's very likeable, is fond of popular music tand musicians? moving pictures iwith William Powelll and enjoys skating. She's also right at home on the dance iioor. Nicholas Charles Coniaris February 18 College 55 Prospect Street David Garrick Dramatic Club 3, 43 Science Club 3, 4g Senior Week Committee. Nicky combines in himself, as few persons in this life of distrac- tions are able to do, the element of true courtesy. His patience, his deference, his unfailing hearti- ness are qualities to be admired. Let us hope that we stop to re- member him when the rush of many duties threaten to sweep away our patience and good cheer. Helen Gertrude Connor March 28 Commercial 14 Grant Street David Garrick Dramatic Club 3, 4. Perhaps Helen's finest quality is loyalty. Her natural desire is to like people and to keep on liking them as long as she pos- sibly can. There are few people who can equal her in traits that make up a fine, firm, courageous character. Renaldo Albert Consoletti January 5 Commercial 51 Winter Street Notice the sparkle in his eyes and the nice part in his hair! It is no doubt then that his presence was welcome to any group. because a man's appear- ance is one of his greatest assets. Renaldo surely has that plus a companionable nature. Theresa Frances Consoletti February 26 College 19 Mechanic Street Science Club 3, 4: David Gar- rick Dramatic Club 3, 4g Fresh- man Debating Clubg Dance Com- mittee: Senior Glee Club: Senior Week Committee. Secretary. We've also found Terry to be one of those good things that come in small packages. Care- ful analysis will disclose her at- tractiveness due to her cheery nature. Her originality and willingness to work have been contributing factors in the suc- cess of many of our activities. We have certainly appreciated her work as a member of the dance committee. William Robert Crivello January 12 Commercial 28 Depot Street Bill is a quiet, modest boy, who is always willing to offer help to anyone who needs it. When asked what his ambition was, he said that he didn't have any. But we say, Bill, that you have, but don't want to let us in on your secret. What ever it is, good luck. Anna jean Cutropia September 23 Commercial 35 Mt. Pleasant Street David Garrick Dramatic Club 33 Senior Week Committeeg Glee Club. Ann has an aptitude for busi- ness. Her standards are high, and she is not afraid to stand up for what she thinks is right. The decisiveness of her character will bring her success. Lena Claire DeFazio September 3 Commercial 1415 Mt. Pleasant Street David Garrick Dramatic Club 3, 4. Lena has a vivid personality. She is dominant and self-conIi- dent-both are excellent quali- ties, because in Lena they are combined with judgment and a friendly feeling toward others. She cannot enjoy pleasure unless she shares it. Cornelia Rose Marie DelCastello May 8 Commercial 33 Main Street Connie is not afraid to carry out her own ideas, because she is sure that they are right. When people need consolation or prac- tical suggestions, she has them to offer. She has a rare com- bination of self-confidence, a gen- ietrous spirit, and a kind disposi- ion.

But our opinion is that further acquaintance will reveal a humorous personality, and a variety of comical and pleasing mannerisms, Frank james Iadarola October 8 College 96 High Street Orchestra 1, 2. 3, 4. Frank is willing to bear his share of the burdens of life and dees not ask in return, as many do for a blare of trumpets to precede him.

Richard Francis jackson November 30 College 37 Congress Street David Garrick Dramatic Club 3, 4, Senior Week Committee. Who's that lecturing on scien- tinc experiments, in Room 1? Of course, it must be Jackson. Dick knows the history of every scientific device that makes life pleasant, yes. everything from a toaster to an autogiro. Jackson proved himself as equally inter- ested in chemistry. What's that? Surely, he wants to become a chemist, and the day may come when we will be proud of him. Francis Leo Kirby September 30 College 90 South Main Street Senior Week Committee. We often wondered if some sharp questioning in the class- room spoiled the reverie of this gay young fellow.

Veronica Ann Moriarty August 26 College 29 Grove Street , Freshman Debating Club: Sci- ence Club 3, 43 David Garrick Dramatic Club 4: French Club 4: Senior Glee Clubg Senior VVeek Committee.

You and I, as residents of this great Commonwealth, should be especially proud of our state during 1935, for the year commemorates the three hundredth anni- versary of its first important contributions to the advancement of American education. The growth of school instruction here in Massachusetts commenced with the es- tablishment of the Boston Public Latin School in 1635 and of Harvard College, one year later. Under the sponsorship of the Puritan settlers, education advanced rapid- ly until it was made compulsory seventeen years after the colonization of Boston. In the little red schoolhouse in the village, the spacious, well-equipped class building of today had its beginning. In order to appreciate our heritage, we must remember that the growth of education in Massachusetts was not con- fined to the accomplishments of a few people. On the contrary, it was effected by the unselfish, self-sacrificing labor of many persons. The name of Ezekiel Cheever, however, stands foremost among our pioneers, as it serves as a model for the future course of eminent educators. Cheever was born in England but came to our shores with the intention of induc- ing the colonists to provide for the train- ing of the children of the settlement. This young man was especially fitted for teaching because he had received a very liberal education in London schools and had been graduated from Oxford Univer- sity. His great work in Massachusetts began when he was called from his small school in Connecticut to manage the Free Gram- mar School in Ipswich, which was built on grants of land and was supported by gifts of individuals. The system here was greatly improved upon by Cheever, who introduced new methods of teaching and procedure. When he was satisfied that he had effected beneficial changes, Cheever journeyed on to Charlestown where he be- came master of the Free School. Although his pay was meager and was not always paid in due time, he remained there for nine years, and, under his influence, the town became an important educational center. Here he established a school for the young men of the colony so that they might be better prepared to hold public of- fice. Cheever's splendid influence was brought to an end after thirty-eight years at the Boston Latin School, where he was head master. Under his faithful and dis- tinguished services, the Latin School be- came the principal classical center not only of Massachusetts, but of all America. Although Ezekiel Cheever was a strict disciplinarian, he always received obedi- ence and love from his students, as his presence in a schoolroom was accompanied by dignity and kindness, both in counten- ance and voice. The name of this educator, who died in 1708 at the age of ninety-four, is enshrined forever on the honor roll of our noted educators. But Cheever did not accomplish ever- thing in the evolution of public school in- struction. He was the first to shoulder a task which was carried on by others. The threads of his work were taken up by another leader, Horace Mann. This personage is of particular interest to you and to me, because he was born in the neighboring town of Franklin, where he lived during his childhood. Like Cheever, Mann was always interested in learning, as he had receivd a love of knowledge from his father. However, he was not so fortun- ate as Cheever, because his parents had not the means to give their son any liberal educational advantages. Mann knew that his poor financial cir- cumstances did not permit his entering a higher institution of learning, but he con- tinued to hope. His dreams were soon real- ized, for at the age of twenty he met a professor who formulated a plan whereby the lad could enter college. After studying privately for six months, he was accepted into the Sophomore class of Brown Uni- versity. Not long after his graduation, he was called back to the university as a tutor in Latin, and thus he began his educational career. He soon became very successful as a teacher and was noted for his fidelity, thoroughness, and the moral stimulus which he gave to his pupils. For the temporal advancement of so- ciety, Mr. Mann felt that the vocation of educator was the highest possible one in a republic, and he gladly abandoned wealth and senatorial honors for his arduous duties. As a member of the State Legis- lature he Was influential in securing legis- lation favoring the establishment of more schools, but his greatest contributions came when he was the Secretary of the Board of Education. He began his duties by visiting schools throughout the state wherein he called conventions of instruct- ors and others intersted in education. He He thereby availed himself of an opportun- ity to suggest and make many helpful im- provements. He also issued plans for proper sites, heating, and ventilation of schools so as to safeguard the health of the children. During his term of office, private munificence had given ten thousand dollars to Mr. Mann to promote the establish- ment of normal schools for teachers, and after a conference with committees from various schools in the state, the first Massachusetts Normal Schools and Insti- tutes were founded under his direction. Soon after, he conceived a plan for institut- ing common school libraries, and he pro- posed the project to the Board of Edu- cation which later provided that each school should have a district library. This remarkable character abhorred the View that some should have the bene- fits of mental training and others sho-uld live in ignorance. Consequently he had the desire to have the rich and poor edu- cated together by removing all the barriers which hindered the less fortunate. This he did during his secretaryship by establish- ing grade schools and fifty new high schools for the public. Horace Mann died in 1859, but his memory Will always be held most sacred in the pages of the his- tory of education here in Massachusetts. Although Cheever and Mann had made remarkable contributions in the develop- ment of public school instruction, they did nothing to encourage young women to con- tinue their studies in higher institutions. After young girls had attended the district schools, they generally had to discontinue their studies, in fact they were ranked in the community according to their economic value. The problem of founding a higher school for young women was to be solved by a woman. The first two leaders, as we have seen, were men, but Mary Lyon stands forth as an eminent -woman who contributed as much toward education as did Cheever and Mann. She was born in Buckland, Massa- chusetts in 1797. At the age of seventeen, she began her teaching career on the small pittance of seventy-five cents each week. She managed, in some way, how- ever to save sufficient money to attend Sanderson Academy in Ashfield. After graduation, she was sent to By- field Academy, where she was convinced that the true purpose of education was to increase the social usefulness of an individ- ual. She also became deeply impressed with the unequal educational advantages of women, and she saw the need of securing an intellectual training for them. Time passed, and while she was teaching at a seminary in Ipswich, Miss Lvon formulated a plan for bestowing an education on girls of insuf- ficient means. She perceived that the only way to bring this about was to establish a seminary and have it endowed by the church. She soon abandoned this plan, however, when she was convinced that the majority of ministers were prejudiced against higher learning for women. Still her spirit was undaunted, and a beginning was made in 1834 when she was granted an interview by twelve infiuential men who, as a result, took the responsi- bility for establishing a seminary until its charter should be obtained. With the help of her friends Mary Lyon began to solicit funds. One good gentleman, a minister, gave up his pastorate, and became her soliciting agent. Pa Hawks, as he was called, thought that as woman had been the occasion of the fall af Adam, she should be given the highest possible education in order to undo the evil effects of the fatal apple. When the amounts received appeared to be sufiicient,, a site for the seminary was selected at South Hadley, Massachu- setts. The building rose gradually, and in 1837' Mt. Holyoke Seminary was opened. True to her belief that women of limited means should obtain an education, Mary Lyon fixed the entire expense at sixty-four dollars. She managed this institution for only twelve years, because the many hard- ships and the unselfish expenditure of her energy had a poor effect upon her health. She became infected with a disease con- tracted from a dying pupil to whom she was administering aid and died in 1848 at the age of fifty-one. Though fate had been cruel in taking Mary Lyon so soon, nevertheless, it pro- vided Massachusetts with another hero of education. This great leader, Francis May- land Parker, was born in 1837, the year when Horace Mann entered his educational career, and when Mary Lyon opened Mt. Holyoke Seminary. Parker descended from a race of teachers and scholars, and as a boy he always wanted to be a teacher. At the age of thirteen he started to earn his own livelihood, and, incredible though it may sound, he received his first position in the Webster schools before he reached his twentieth year. He continued teach- ing until he was twenty-one, and carried into the profession his thought that the function of a teacher was to improve life, society, the state, and the nation. His love for children and this belief made his career so successful that his work in the educational circles of New Hampshire, Illinois, and Massachusetts, where he left remarkable contributions, cannot soon be forgotten. Under Parker's direction the schools were so improved that learning be- came a pleasure, and the pursuit of knowl- edge was greatly stimulated. Thus we perceive that the evolution of education in Massachusetts was not moulded by the work of any one person, but resulted from the combination of the superior mentalities of several, chief of whom were Ezekiel Cheever, Horace Mann, Mary Lyon, and Francis Parker, whose memory and achievements will always serve as an inspiration to us all. HUMPHREY SULLIVAN, '35. VALEDICTORY THE EVOLUTION OF EDUCATION IN MASSACHUSETTS By common consent, the American people choose Massachusetts as the state possessing the most inspiring educational history, for not only has she been the pion- eer in educational experiments, but she has laid the foundation for her sister states. Her experience has been a constant aid to them, and the importance with which she has stressed learning has continually been an example for the whole country. Let us go back about three hundred years to the landing of the English Puri- tans in Massachusetts Bay. They were of sturdy stock and were not daunted by the many hardships facing them. In the midst of hostility they built their homes and churches, and then turned their thoughts to the instruction of their ihild- reng for they believed that educated young people would become learned men, and learned men would govern wisely. The first method broached was home instruction, but this proved insufficient. In 1635 they established their first public school for the teaching and nourishing of children. This was the Boston Public Latin School, the first educational institu- tion in the United States. Today it ranks as one of the best classical schools in the country. Two years later, John Harvard, a dis- senting clergyman of England, left one- half of his estate and his entire library of two hundred and sixty selected volumes to a college for which plans were being made. Haryard College, named in honor of its benefactor, was established in Cam- bridge. Its interests appear to have been at first intrusted to the General Court, but by the Act of 1642 a board of overseers was created to whom the management was transferred. This act is remarkable in that, for the first time in the English speaking world, a legislative body repre- senting the State ordered that all children should be taught to read, giving the se- lectmen the power to enforce the law. We see in the state the establishment of a typical English educational system-that is, instruction in reading and religion at home, a Latin grammar school in the larg- er towns to prepare the boys for college, and an English type of college to prepare them for their life's work. But education up to this time was voluntary, and the Puritans realized that as they penetrated into the wilderness, learning would become neglected, and the public spirit would decay. To prevent this danger. they passed a law in 1647 which is the real foundation and formal estab- lishment of the Massachusetts public school system. Reading and writing schools as well as grammar schools were required, with the expense to be borne by the towns or the parents, or both. As we enter upon the eighteenth century after seventy years of colonial his- tory, we feel that the atmosphere has changed. The intense enthusiasm for learning has disappearedg there is a de- cline of school spirit, and disintegration has begun. To one familiar with the early history of our state, this decadence does not seem strange, for during these years there was much turmoil in America involv- ing wars with both France and England. A new epoch opened which brought with it changes in the school system, whose harmful influence we have not yet out- lived. As the fear of Indian invasion which had previously hindered migration disap- peared, the people began to push out into the wilderness and to found new settle- ments, many of them without a village center. In all of these towns the school problem itself and was solved in the usual haphazard way. The towns voted that the school which had been kept through the vear in one place be kept for a part of the year in each of several places. Thus the children no longer went to school, the school went to the children. Sometimes the school term was the same in each place, sometimes unequal. Not only was the elementary school thus put on wheels but the grammar school as well. The full bene- fits of an education were withheld from the children, and they were deprived of a complete school year. This disintegrating process, the de- centralizing of the school system and the breaking up of central unifying authority, was hastened by the district school. In direct contrast to the present system of learning, some of the towns were divided into districts, and each was allowed to draw its share of the school money, with the privilege of spending the amount as it liked. A strange fact is that in each dis- trict a presidential committeeman was ap- pointed who should have the care of the selection and improvement of teachers. In this way the duties of the selectmen were taken out of their hands, and the school ceased to be a town school. Though the greatest menace to uni- fied authority, the district school marks the most colorful period in educational history. It is the period in which great changes in school subjects were made. Up to this time the elementary schools had re- quired reading and writing only, but now arithmetic, English, spelling, and geogra- phy were made compulsory. Early in the century the Bible, Psalter, and catechism gave way to the Speller and Reader. The importance of this change cannot be over- estimated, for it represents the modifying of the life currents of the community. While the free public schools were in a state of decline, a new institution, the incorporated acamedy, came into being. Lieutenant Governor William Dummer, who died in 1761, left his dwelling and farm for the establishment of a free school to be maintained forever on his estate. A master was to be chosen by a committee of five freeholders acting in conjunction with the ministers of the parish. This in- stitution rapidly increased and became very popular, rating among its pupils some of Massachusetts' most distinguished men. There is a very broad purpose under- lying this movement. It was the hope of the founders that public sentiment might be stimulated and that a higher educa- tional standard might be set. By putting before the youth of America opportunities for knowledge, they hoped to create a de- sire for it. They further aimed to furnish to students who could not go to college the elements, at least, of a liberal education. The academies realized the most sanguine hopes of their founders and justified the liberality of public and private benefac- tors . While the academy played an import- ant part in raising the general standard of learning, it proved to be less beneficial in another direction, for this institution fostered the idea of private schools. As a result, only the very poor attended the public schools, which gradually sank into an even worse condition. The one great hopeful ray of light in this century was the change of public sentiment regarding the education of girls In early days, it was left to the discretion of the elders and the selectmen whether girls should be taught with the boys or not. They invariably decided against co- education, and until the Revolution girls were graduated from the dame school only. This was an institution in which children were, presumably, taught to read and write. It is a noteworthy fact that during f the school days, the dame was able to ac- complish all of her domestic duties and a little outside work such as mending sold- iers' shirts for profit, as well. The revolutionary period started new currents of thinking in many directions, however, and almost simultaneously in all the larger towns, there arose a demand for ampler opportunities for the mental train- ing of girls. Public schools and a new type of private schools, known as semin- aries, were opened for the benefit of girls. The women who attended these schools made a deep impression on the public morals. Most of them later became teach- ers, and their womanly culture and refine- ment served as an inspiration for the youth of the nation. It is to those early seminaries that historians must look to account for the great moral reform of the century which took so deep a hold in New England life. We now enter upon a new era in edu- cational history, the era of Horace Mann and the revival of learning. Through the efforts of Horace Mann and his able co- worker James G. Carter, a sudden enthusi- asm for learning took place. One of Car- ter's greatest accomplishments was the es- tablishment of the Board of Education of which Horace Mann was appointed secre- tary. His duty was the collection of in- formation concerning the conditions of public schools and the diffusion of the most approved and successful methods of teach- ing throughout the Commonwealth. That Horace Mann accomplished his duties well is manifested in the results which he ob- tained. Through conferences, reports, and monthly articles, he informed the people of the educational decentralization in which they were involved, and he brought about a new spirit toward the schools. The crowning work of his career was the establishment of the normal schools to which James Carter and other infiuenti- al men had devoted a great deal of their time. A donation of ten thousand dollars for the establishment of a normal school was given with the provision that the legis- lature should appropriate an equal sum. This was readily accepted, and the first normal school was built in Leicester, later being transferred to Framingham. So much has Horace Mann done for learning that his name is synonymous with all modern educational reforms. He was the destroyer of the district schools and academies whose evil influences had been felt throughout the State. He is credited with being the father of normal schools, high schools, grade schools, and new methods of teaching. He originated the idea of learning to read by first memoriz- ing words, a system now in general use in the first grades, rather than first learning the alphabet. Many social and industrial changes have been effected since the period of Hor- ace Mann. The sudden change :lrom rural to urban life has resulted in the formation of the graded school and its supplement, the free high school, the decay of the academies, the decline and fall of the dis- trict system, the compulsory attendance laws, truant laws, and truant schools. New measures for evening schools, free text books, and education of the defective classes have been passed. The power of the public school sys- tem to mould public opinion in its own favor is strikingly exhibited in the chang- es which have taken place. School popu- lation and public school attendance have almost doubled. The people are willing to tax tremselves beyond the legal require- ments for their children's education. That this is true is the strongest testimony to the educating, unifying, Americanizing in- fiuence of the public school, and the most magnificent tribute to it. All of these changes, great as they are in themselves, have their chief significance as indications of a new public spirit. The great work which has been accomplished in Massachusetts has been to change the apathy and indifference of the people to- ward the schools into appreciation and active interest and to make education the birthright of every boy and girl. Edu- cation is the greatest guarantee of future progress for the individual youth and for the nation. Classmates of 1935: Tonight marks the culmination of our high school career. Our four years of study have been successfully completed, and the unknown future lies open before us. To the school board, Mr. Caswell, Mr. Berry, teachers, parents, and friends, who have so untiringly encouraged and in- structed us, we are deeply and sincerely grateful. As we close the doors on our high school days, let us resolve to be loyal to our school, our work, and ourselves. With the inspiring words of the motto, Always, Ever Onward, impressed on our hearts, let us start our journey, bid- ding a fond farewell to High school days and cherishing forever the happy memor- ies. KAYONOUSH OHANIAN, '35. CLASS HISTORY In June, 1932 the curtain fell on the first period of our career. In the follow- ing September we became tenants in a new home which offered further opportunities for scholastic and social development. Dur- ing our four years as high school students, events have occurred which I am privi- leged to recall. In the afternoon of September 6, 1932 two hundred and nineteen boys and girls, comprising that family hereafter known as the class of 1935, congregated on the top fioor tbetter known as the Assembly Halll of the four-apartment house, the Milford High School, during the most critical per- iod of a world-wide economic depression. Mr. Thomas J. Quirk, the principal, gave us instructions and assigned us to home rooms. We elected as our odicers Blaine Libbey, president, Jean Sunderland, vice- presidentg Alfred Cenedella, treasurerg and Margaret McCarthy, secretary. Because of over-crowded conditions we had to attend school in the afternoon. This fact caused our activities to be few. How- ever, the Freshman Debating Club was or- ganized under the direction of Miss Inez SanClemente, a member of the faculty, and consisted of forty members. Debates were held throughout the year on current ques- tions of the time. The problem concerning the forty-hour week was discussedg this Was an important issue of the time be- cause it was regarded as a possible means to relieve widespread unemployment. L. Blaine Libbey, Jr., was awarded the Inez E. SanClemente Medal for being the best debater. Six members of our class began their musical careers by joining the M. H. S. Orchestra. Among those was Miss Florence Smith, the first woman member of the orchestra. That year Milford High entered a new athletic field of basketball. Teams of both Freshman girls and boys were formedg practice was held in the morning in the former Y. M. C. A. build- ing. A baseball team was also organized. Marcus, Libbey, Bonetti, Siegel, Cenedella, Doyle, Butterfield, Roberti, and Abraham- son joined and were groomed for their fut- ure careers as members of the team. Every Thursday of this year an extra period was set aside for an assembly of the whole class. Each student was given an oppor- tunity at some time during the year to ad- dress the meeting on a topic which he se- lected. Our Sophomore year was spent on the third story of this apartment house. The class had diminished to two hundred and six members. This year was marked by many notable changes. Principal Quirk accepted a position in Connecticut, the vacancy was filled by Mr. Frank C. Berry of the faculty. Mr. James A. Higgiston and Mr. James V. Zurlo were elected to the faculty in October, 1932. Mr. Harold M. Moran was appointed in that year to fill the vacancy created by Miss Regina Curley's resignation. He and Mr. David I. Davoren were elected to the faculty in May, 1933. The method of conducting ex- aminations was changed, the Oak, Lily, and Ivy assumed the character of a Year book, and the last week of the Senior year was set aside as Senior Week. Since we attended school in the morn- ing, the boys in the class were enabled to take part in athletic activities. The foot- ball team concluded an unusually success- ful year by winning nine out of ten games. In the spring of 1933, the baseball nine gloriously upheld Milford High School's unprecedented statewide reputation in that particular field of sports by easily defeat- ing such powerful teams as Brockton High and Cambridge Latin. During our Junior year we numbered one hundred and fifty-three and occupied the second floor of the apartment house. During this year, the Dante Club was or- ganized by Mr. Zurlo, a member of the faculty, for the benefit of those studying the Italian language. The purpose of the new club was to stimulate interest among the students in Italian art, literature, and customs. Members of our class became eligible to join Mr. Metcalf's Science Club, and the David Garrick Club, under the di- rection of Miss Sadie O'Connell. Upon the resignation of Mr. Riopel, who accepted a position as athletic coach at Holy Cross College, Mr. Frederick T. Steeves, '23 was elected to be our athletic director. Under his capable management the football team lost only two of the eight games it played, and the baseball team distinguished itself by defeating Boston Latin and other equally powerful teams. The baseball season of 1933 was crowned by our defeating St. Mary's nineg the re- sult of which was that we were awarded the Milford Daily News loving cup after four years of keen competition between the two teams. In February the annual Junior Prom was held in the Town Hall. Music was pro- vided by Val Jean's Royal Arcadians, the winners of the New England Orchestral Championship. Although the night was one of the coldest of the winter, the affair was largely attended, and the Prom was both a financial and social success. The dance committee was composed of Eva Piteo, chairman, Anita Cistoldi, Claire Espanet, Theresa Consoletti, Florence Paradiso, Alfred Cenedella, Renaldo Con- soletti, Blaine Libbey, Lewis Luchini, Philip Perkins, and Robert Rivard. As Juniors, we were admitted into the contest for the Patrick Peace Prize. In spite of the shrewd competition of Seniors of this school and those of surrounding towns, Miss Malvina Tusoni, a member of our class, won one of the two prizes award- ed to M. H. S. The subject was: Propa- ganda, The Greatest Menace To World Peace. During the year of 1933-34, the or- chestra was under the direction of Mr. Ben Lancisi, '23, a noted local musician. It ended its season by presenting in Town Hall the annual concert, which for a second time displayed to a public audience the fine talent of this group. Following the custom of many years the Juniors gave a reception to the Seniors. For the first time the reception departed from the character of those of former years. Along with usual dancing, a mock graduation program was performed by the members of the dance committee. This original entertainment was thoroughly en- joyed by everyone and won much favor- able comment for its novelty and comedy. Miss Flora Celozzi, a member of our class, left school and was united in mar- riage to John Kowalczyk on June 2. At the commencement exercises of the class of 1934, Mr. Alfred B. Cenedella, Sr., chairman of the school committee, read a telegram from Senator David I. Walsh, who wrote that Congress had approved a S'p250,000 loan to us under the provisions of the P. W. A. to build an annex to the high school. CRobert Allen Cook of Milford drew up the plans for the structure, and the contract for building it was awarded to the R. H. Sewell Co. of Franklin, Massa- chusetts. In November, 1934 the tall trees in the rear of the high school were felled to make room for the annex which is to be constructed of granite.l At the beginning of the Senior year, our family numbering one hundred and thirty, moved to the first iioor. Lewis Lu- chini was chosen president, Eva Piteo, vice-president, Malvina Tusoni, secretary, Albert Calagione, treasurer, and Robert Rivard, historian. Mr. Robert Cenedella was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Mae Comba of the faculty. The football team concluded its season by winning four out of the eight games it played, Walpole was defeated, and the strong Attleboro team was held to a tie. Brockton downed Milford, but the spirit of revenge manifested itself when the team and its rooters stopped at Dutchland Farm and helped themselves to silver ware and the like. The Autumn Dance was held in Town Hall under the auspices of our class. This new major social function was inaugurated by the Senior dance committee. Two new clubs were added to the list of our extra- curricula activities. They were the Senior Glee Club and the Theo-Harmon Club, both under the direction of Miss Helena F. Swift, the supervisor of music. ' All Seniors were eligible to join the Glee club, which consisted of eighty-five members. It made its first appearance on December 21, 1934 and presented a splen- did program of Christmas music before an assembly of the student body and easily won recognition for the fine vocal talent of our class. The Theo-Harmon Club consist- ed of the members of the Theory and Har- mony class. The lives of famous musical composers were discussed at the meetings, and the musical work most characteristic of its composer was illustrated. Music ap- preciation was also stimulated. The Book Committee was named in November, and work on the Oak, Lily, and Ivy was immediately started. Philip Perkins was chosen editor-in-chief and Alfred Cenedella as business manager. Social activities were held to help defray the expense of publishing the book. Some Seniors conducted card parties at their homes, and a very successful card party was held in the High School on March 5 under the eflicient chairmanship of Miss Eleanor Gilbert. The proceeds from a food sale also greatly assisted in defraying the expenses of publication. We wish again to thank Mrs. A. B. Cenedella, Sr., Mrs. Frank C. Berry, Mrs. George F. Grayson, and Mrs. Francis H. Lally for their efforts in mak- ing the sale the success that it was. On April 19, Miss Elizabeth Doyle, the Senior English instructor, submitted her resignation. The members of the class presented her with an electric mantel-piece clock as a wedding gift. Miss Pearl Rose, '29 was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Doyle. On May 2 the members of the Senior class held an outing. We went to Concord and Lexington and visited historical shrines. Tracing Paul Revere's route back to Boston, we went to Harvard University. From here we went to the State Capitol where we were greeted by Secretary of the Treasurer, Hurley. We next visited Bunker Hill Monument and the Constitu- tion, in Charlestown Navy Yard. After go- ing through Chinatown, we dined'at the Tremont Plaza. We then had the privi- lege of witnessing a broadcast from Sta- tion WHDH, after which the class went to the Metropolitan Theatre. Transporta- tion was by bus, and we are indebted to Mr. Moran for his efforts is making this trip possible. Later on in May came the third an- nual concert of the orchestra and then the Senior Hop. The last week of school was set aside as Senior Week during which many enjoyable activities took place. On Wednesday evening, June 26, the Com- mencement exercises were held in Town Hall. These were followed by our picnic and Alumni reunion. We now leave our house through an open door that leads to the pathway of life where we will assume the burdensof man- hood and womanhood. Throughout life the principles taught us and the inspiring message of our motto, Always, Ever On- ward, will guide us through trials and happiness and remain with us as a cher- ished reminder of some of the happiest days of our lives. ROBERT J. RIVARD. CLASS PROP:-IECY As I sat at my desk in the editing room of the New York Spreader, Ghirin- ghelli, the helping hand of the office force, placed a letter before me. I noticed that it was postmarked Milford I opened it hastily and read: Dear Sylvia, , The meeting of classmates is always held as a lingering memo-ry in everyone's heart. I have planned an all-day get-to- gether here in Milford. I have included an hour's broadcast over station M. H. S. I plan to have some of the talented members of the class participate in the program. Our fashion exhibit will be of interest al- so. That is not all. We have many other surprises in store. Please be present at this meeting on Friday, September 19, 1950. I'm sure you know the gathering place. Sincerely yours, Lewis Luchinif' Well, well, well! A broadcasting studio in Milford! What a novel idea for a reunion! I was going to try my best to be present. Upon my arrival in Milford, I went to the Hotel Astaira to obtain a room for the day. A short woman, apparently the hostess, ushered me to the elevator. Very politely I gazed, for I knew I had seen her somewhere. Then. quick as a flash, I re- membered little Gilda Tumolo. She hadn't grown a bit and still possessed her lovable disposition. After a few hours of leisure, I decid- ed it was time to start for the studio. By the time I arrived at the destina- tion, the room was almost filled to capac- ity. True enough, I knew that all the members were not present, but, neverthe- less, the gathering was large enough to make a successful event. My eyes roamed around the room. Who's that girl over there? I listened very inquisitively to what she was saying. Sure enough that voice was familiar. It was Eva Piteo, arguing as usual. She was a lawyer in Boston and was discussing the verdict which was rendered in the case of one of Milford's most notable citizens. Mary Oliva had been the lawyer for the defense, but Eva had won, and Mary still insisted that the verdict was unfair. My attention was attracted to two women who were talking very earnestly. I became very curious and walked towa1'd them. I readily recognized Sylvia Werber, but the other face seemed unfamiliar. Miss Werber noticed my puzzled look and said, Don't you remember Avis Higgis- ton? Sylvia and Avis were both social workers, and they evidently enjoyed their work, judging from their interesting dis- cussion of the subject. As I mingled with the crowd, I ac- cidently bumped into three men. Oh, those big words! I should have known the conversation was among Sullivan, Rivard, and Siegel. I interrupted their chat to renew acquaintances. Rivard was organist in the Paris Cathedral, and was making a concert tour in America. He was leaving during the following week for his return trip to Europe. Humphrey was a professor at Holston University and was being considered for an oflicial position at the institution. Siegel's fame was already familiar to me. He was a noted chemist in New York and was forever accomplish- ing great deeds for science. My delightful conversation was quick- ly interrupted by a nudge in the back. The intruder was Dot Morrison, private secre- tary to our Massachusetts governor. Dot told me that some of the former occupants of Room 12 were standing in the corner. I wanted very much to see them, so I excused myself. Virginia Nadreau, Theresa Nardone, Rose Ohannessian, Frances Segal, and Mildred Shackleton were talking about stenography. I knew their occupation, readily. Yes, they were stenographers. Nargi was gazing about the room in a very pre-occupied manner. I wondered what the object of his observance was, so I resolved to find out. Hello, I said, but he looked at me very blankly. I introduced myself, and he finally remembered me. I asked what he was doing, he ansyered very proudly, Manager of Filene's in Worcester. Upon being questioned, he proceeded to tell me what Fate had bestowed upon other members of the class: Rizoli plays hockey for the Holston Ruinsg Nigro is Clerk of the Supreme Court, Joe Mazza- relli isa traveling salesman in South Americag Watson is a mortician here, Marchionda sings and plays for an orches- tra in Hollywood. My eyes were forever hovering about the room. I observed a pair of hands wav- ing in the air. I always remembered those hands of skill, they were Jean Sunder- land's, a noted surgeon. Her greatest de- sires had been fulfilled. Her group con- sisted of Gina Mancini and Charlotte Hel- fand, both physicians of note. I made my- self a member of this interesting group and found that the Misses Morey, Osa- chuck, Markakis, Iannitelli, Andreano, Berrini, Mae Carbone, Castiglioni, Camp- bell, and Consoletti had all dedicated their lives to duty and humanity. The ring- ing of a bell brought our discussion to an end. Luchini was at a microphone saying, EV9I'Y0ne quiet, we go on the air in five minutes. Fortunately, I obtained a favorable seat and took out my notebook to jot down some notes for an article on this oc- casion. Luchini, as master of ceremonies, in- troduced Angie Novelli, an opera star. Miss Novelli's pleasing selections were fol- lowed by orchestral numbers directed by Florence Smith. The next feature on the program was a group of songs by Pauline Ohannessian and her Rhythm Girls. Her ambition had been fulfilled, and her own compositions showed her ability in the musical world. Hear ye! Hear ye! Entertainment galore. Introducing that wonder-boy, Frank Iadarolaf' Frankie played several instruments with equal skill. Evelyn Knights, a torch singer, entertained the audience with a few songs. Enrico Ianni- telli's men then played several pieces. Margaret Avakian was pianist for the or- chestra. DeSalvia was also a member of this famous band. Ricco's fascinating music gained for him the title of Rhumba King. Renaldo Consoletti and Anita Cis- toldi composed the dance team which ac- companied the orchestra. They rendered their version of the American Reel. Kay Ohanian, a dancing teacher of Hollywood stars, offered several tap routines as the next feature. Luchini then explained that a pro- gram of one type becomes monotonous after a while, and decided to have some of America's famous men deliver short addresses in order to give variety to the program. Kirby, who had made several trips across the Pacific, told us briefiy about a few of the exciting ones. Cenedella gave a talk on Education of Yesterday and To- day. He was Attorney General of the state and was considered a fiuent orator, especially on the advancement of interest. Libbey's talk on Engineering proved of interest. Libbey sent the regrets of his assistants who were unable to be present: Granholm was one of the finest electrical engineers, Marcus had become less con- ceited and was engaged in civil engineer- ing, Sacco was an electrical worker, Jim- my Sullivan was a teacher of mechanical engineering. The hour was up, but Luchini said that Malvina Tusoni had a special record of each member and his position. I ran to Muffy for information. She handed me a notebook. Here is a list from A to Z. By the way, what are you doing? I asked her. Oh, just an assistant in the Board of Education oiiicef' I opened Muff's book and began to scan it for knowledge about some of the old pals. Jackson-associated with Einstein, Vernon was an accountant, Mildred Kunz a shoppe owner, Irene LaChapelle was part owner of Woolworth'sg Annette Lancia was a reporter for Milford Daily News, Mann was a teacher of chemistry at Milford High, Edith Marino was a member of the faculty at Burdettg Ross Mazzarelli was owner of Gloria Chain stores, and Elsie McKay was a Gover- ness. At this point, the book was snatched from my hands. I know all, someone remarked. It was Dot Nickerson, a well- known beautician. live fixed the faces of so many of our old classmates that I al- ways managed to learn about them and others. O, K. Miss Know-It-All, tell me. Florence Paradiso is the nurse in Dr. Samaris' office. She told me that Philip Perkins is a professor of English in a great western college. Netta Ragonese is a teacher of languages at the same insti- tution. Do you know anything about Louise Southwick? I asked. Yes, she's the interior decorator who altered the home of Margaret Doyle, a chorus-girl of special talent. She also dec- orated Claire Espanct's home. Claire, by the way, is a journalist. I went to an art exhibit the other day, continued Dot, and viewed some of Goldstein's statues and paintings. He has become a famous sculptor. That same day I saw the Hankees and the Canaries play ball. Bonetti and Doyle played for the Hanks and Burns for the Canaries. Did you know that Anderson has taken Disney's place as cartoonist?,' Dot continued. And Coniaris has built a hos- pital at Long Island. Among the nurses are Cora Del Costello, Irene Deletti, Leah Dunton, and Josephine Ferrucci. The dieticians are Gertrude Abrams, Lena De Fazio, and Evelyn Donnissoni. Grace Morcone, Julia Carlson, and Mary Com- pagnone have charge of the children's nursery. Lillian Barsanti, Anna Cutropia, and Eleanor Bocaccino have charge of the secretarial workf' Dot's very newsy information was abruptly ended by the approach of Lil Abbondanza. She had seen the world and was now a noted lecturer. She told us that she had seen Stone in Europe Cand with the pipe tooD. His plans were to know Europe as well as he thought he knew America. We also learned that Butter- field was honeymooning in Europe with an heiress bride. Lillian told us that she had lectured before a club in Australia, and among the audience were two great engineers, Foye and Abrahamson. Lil said that her boat on the return trip could be called Milford since many Milfordians were employed on it. Ferrari was captain of the huge liner. DePalma was a member of the crew, and Crivello was pilot of the ship's plane. Cugini was leader of the orchestra, and Calagione was a member of the band. Helen Andrew and Jennie DePietro were hairdressers aboard. The cook was none other than Anna Ford. Josephine DeVenuto and Helen McAvoy were head waitresses. Canon was the radio operator. Lil continued, While in Paris, I met Antoinette Delledonne and Louise Bruno. They are teachers of English in the school there. Virginia Griffith, Luchini's secretary, informed us that an exhibition was to be conducted in a few minutes. As we reached the exhibition room, a curtain was drawn back. There stood a beautiful por- trait of Winnie Gagnon, an actress. It was painted by Pauline Carbone. Miss Carbone then drew a few sketches of her assistant, Betty Cadman. Helen Connor, a promising speaker, announced a fashion show to be conduct- ed under the personal supervision of Nancy DeMeo, America's leading dress designer. The first model was Norma Diotalevi. Sev- eral models exhibited women's apparel. I noticed Adele Gattoni among the models. Adele was a very learned tutor but took modeling as a pastime. Leah Gobbi demonstrated coiffures for every occasion. Rita Green, physical instructor, had ten of her pupils perform a drill. Delena Grillo, Rita's assistant, informed her that Judge Alphonse Iadarola requested that she do the famous Greene drill. Cmztimted on Page 51 WILL OF Tl-IE CLASS OF I935 'MP that we the Members of the Class of 1935 of Milford High School in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of soiind mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this oar 15151 311111 Ipgfgmpnf, hereby revoking all former wills by its at any time heretofore made. After the payment of oar just debts and funeral charges, we bequeath and devise as follows: To Mr. Berry, our most beloved principal, we take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation for all his assistance and council. CWe really have been grateful, al- though he may often have doubted it.D To the faculty we offer our undying gratitude for their tireless efforts and patience with us during our four long CU years here. To the Junior Class, our successors, we bequeath all our unpaid debts, all our un- finished Spelling penalties, and the pipe, without which, Stone is seldom seen. We leave the Sophomores the gratifying realization that they are now one step high- er in the realm of M. H, S. social standing. We extend even to the Freshman Class, the New Era of Social Life which was es- tablished with much perseverance on the part of the Class of '35. We have tried to set a new exampleg it is up to them to further it. We hope that all the undergraduates will live up to the Mighty Honorable Social Standard of our dear Alma Mater. Upon all incoming classes we bestow-with a bit of envy perhaps-the privilege of being graduated from the new High school. To the birds in the park we leave all the gum which Miss Paradiso has chewed during the past year. To the Chemistry Class we leave all our broken test tubes and the ring stand, which Perkins loyally painted red. We leave the buzz outside the windows of Room 9 to the new school. The agony of Bnrhels Speech on Conciliation is left, with the greatest of pleasure to all classes of many years to come. We leave the ordeal of drawing the stage curtains during a dramatic performance to anyone. We leave the assorted echoes of many happy activities within the walls of our be- loved school to you all. 50 Our secret formula for making hydrogen sulphide is left to those who can find it in Room 1. And by the way, the statue of William S. Shakespeare is left, with respect, to the inventive minds of the Juniors. The pleasure and resulting punishment of the Dutchland Farms episode, we reserve to ourselves. We take this time to bestow our deepest thanks to all those-both teachers and spons- ors-who have made possible the publication of this book, of which we are so proud. Now, Juniors, we finally hand over to you our final High school possession-the dig- nity of being a Senior. We have it all polished up and remodeled. We hope that you will try to keep this honor as well as we have. We feel that we may transfer all school matters freely to you, and that we may now rest in peace. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three wit-A nesses declare this to be our last will this twentieth day of May in the year one thous- and nine hundred and thirty-Jive. Efaanoz gifgzzt for the Class of 1935. On this twentieth day of May A. D. 1935 Eleanor E. Gilbert of Milford Massachu- setts, signed the foregoing instrument in our presence, declaring it to be the last will of the Class of 1935 and thereafter as witness thereof we three, at her request, in her pres- ence, and in the presence of each other, hereto subscribe our names. Jlflafoina Uuaoni, 235 L Bfains figgsy, gt., IB5 Q Wedding, 135 Continued from Page 49 The next exhibition was that of a new invention of the telephone. Margaret Mc- Carthy, telephone supervisor of the local exchange, had charge of the device. She worked it with such efficiency that I thought she was the inventor, Veronica Moriarty appeared and explained the me- chanical structure of the invention. She was going to modernize the country with her invention just as she had modernized the office of Eleanor Gilbert, director of the famous Elgil School for Secretaries, whose graduates were certain to succeed. Margaret Mullin's Muffin Mart ex- hibited a quick way of baking. Rose Testa assisted her chef. Todino, the Maker of Men, had kind- ly consented to show some of his fashions. He was going to show what the well- dressed men will wear. Sabatinelli, a con- tractor, Rvuggerio, a draftsmang Roberti, a pugilist, and Lawyer Dore showed the male styles of the coming season. Cummings then extended an invita- tion to attend dinner at his hotel Kum-In, but I had to see Luchini before I left for New York that evening. I never had such a wonderful time and I think you're a genius for working out a plan of this sort, I told him. It is something no one will forget. The time hasn't changed the old classmates very much. The majority still have the old 1935 spirit. Well, I've got to leave. Aren't you going to dinner? he asked. UNO, my train leaves in three hours, and I'm going to my room and write an article for my paper on The Best Time Ever. Au revoir! SYLVIA SAINIO, '35.

Farewell, dear Milford High, we now must leave thee We part with friends and part with teachers true. The path now leads to life's storm-toss'd sea: Dear Mother, we bid thee adieu. Forward we go through life and trials unending, Where foes and friends forever we must meet, But with thy guidance ever kind and loving, Our class shall never, never know defeat. CHORUS Yes, Alma Mater, we shall ne'er forget thee,, Thy mem'ry in our hearts shall e'er be dear. VVith this our motto: Always, Ever Onward, We'll press ahead with faith, and hope, and cheer. For now we leave to start on our long voyage, And as we go, our eyes are dimmed with tears, But we will always think of you for courage, Thy guiding hand will calm our fears. Our light will be our knowledge, never failing To aid us conquer in this endless fight. As o'er this sea our fragile bark goes sailing, Thy teachings true will ever be our might. 54 UNDERGQADUATES Z 525- THE JUNIOR CLASS Seated: Pauline Mainini, Lawrence Catella.

THE VALUE OF ENGLISH The study of English has become the most important subject in the education of an American boy or girl. Undoubtedly most people realize the value of instruction in such courses as civics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, history, and foreign languages, but do they realize that success in conquering any one of these sub- jects depends upon a thorough knowledge and understanding of the English language, the study of which greatly develops the pow- ers of concentration so necessary in all lines of endeavor? From the study of English, one learns to appreciate the genius of great poets, dramatists, and novelists such as Ten- nyson, Shakespeare, and Dickens. The works produced by these immortal men and others increase our creative ability and add to our appreciation of the values of life. The pupil not only learns to understand the greatness involved in the works of these men of high standing, but also tends to imi- tate their high standards. A Shakespearean drama creates in the student a desire to ac- quire that knowledge of human nature which is so characteristic in Shakespeare's works. Likewise in the reading of Tennyson's poems, the pupil desires to develop his own descrip- tive powers, the successful development of which will bring beneficial returns during the student's later life. It is a well-known fact that the ability to express ene's ideas clearly and intelligibly is of tremendous importance. Let it be remembered, then, that Eng- lish is a necessary factor in the progress and success of social and political circles. A thorough knowledge of one's own language brings benefits not only to the student but to society in general. HERBERT SHAVV, '3 6. ETIQUETTE When used alone, the word does not con- note a great deal. Originally it referred to the rules of court ceremony and was printed on tickets that were given to each person who was presented to a sovereign. Through many generations, however, the ideal of per- fected culture surged, until today we have a code of manners that is the pride and in- spiration of refined living. There are certain little observances that bespeak the true lady and gentlemen. Some of us call them good form or culture. There are others who refer to them as eti- quette, but whatever the name, the world is, as a result, a better place in which to live. Etiquette, in its truest sense, is an ex- ponent of self, rather than a manifestation toward others. We do what fs right and courteous because no other behavior possib- ly could be consistent with our claims to good breeding. As Shakespeare has said: To thine ovsrnself be true, And it must follow as the night and day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Instinctively, and with no thought of impressing others, the Well-bred person does and says what is correct. Do what is cor- rect because you are well-bred, and not be- cause some important person is Watching from the side-lines. Then vou will truly be following the rules of etiquette. PAULINE MAININI, '36, ON EDUCATION Education and high mentality lead to great progress, and since the advancement of civilization is the ideal of mankind, learn- ing is a requisite. Those ages in the records of history which have stressed a broad, lib- eral education gave to the World and to hu- manity the greatest masterpieces of art, literature, and philosophy. The Greeks give a fine example of the value of education. Their youths were schooled by way of a well balanced curricu- lum, which trained them along physical, liter- ary, and aesthetic lines. Some of their great men: Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle shine as outstanding lights of this fact. During the Middle Ages, all master- pieces of the art of the Golden Age of Greece were lost to the intelligence of the age. Education steadily declined, and progress in letters and thought diminished. To these people the world seemed entirely different from that of former times. The rising gen- eration was growing up without education. In the sixteenth century, however, edu- cation again began to find an important place in civilization, not only from the individual standpoint but from that of mankind. Have we today an education equal or above that of the Greeks? If we have, we BUTORS' SECTION COMMITTEE This section was arranged by:- Robert VVilliams, Chairman Lawrence Catella Pauline Mainini may hope to give to posterity such great contributions for peace and good living as did the Greeks of old. Since education is vital to advancement in thought and progress in civilization, it is, without doubt, worth while. EDITH ROSE, '36, ICEMEN There is a race of men in this world quickly becoming extinct. I do not refer to the American Indian, jazz band players, or European monarchs, but to those heroic fig- ures called icemen. These purveyors of the frozen cube have one great mystery surrounding themg where do they vanish in winter? When questioned about their mysterious disappearance, they merely smile with a far-away look in their eyes. Perhaps they are dreaming of the land into which they vanish during the reign of King Winter. If one may judge by the look in their eyes, this land must be a paradise. I have often spoken to my friends about this Utopia, but they merely scoff and say, There is no such place, and add sarcasticallyg maybe they all go to Florida. However, I have learned that this supposition is an er- roneous one, for statistics show that there is no hibernal iniiux of icemen into the South- land. Maybe they go to a better world to loll and bask in the sunshine as a reward for their hard labor below. Probably they meditate with amusement upon their ex- periences here on earth and ever feel sorry for us mortals who must live in this mundane environment all year round. Well do they deserve this bliss and con- tentment! Many a time were they forced to undergo the humiliation of being accused of giving some penny-pinching housewife too little for her money. Other times they were severely reprimanded for allowing some ice water to drip on the floor, which always seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned. These immortal men were the recipients of innumerable hostile glares when they acci- dentally broke a jug containing cold lemon- ade as they tried to cram a fifty-cent piece of ice into an unusually small chest, already filled with Sunday's roast, two quarts of milk. two pounds of butter, a jar of sweet pickles, and a tempting bottle of a certain brown beverage. Louise Morey Sara Pressman Edith Rose Icemen are never appreciated in this world. When they attempt to be friendly and give some parched and pleading young- ster a piece of cooling, refreshing ice, they are invariably informed by Sonny's mother that she wishes him to have no more of that dirty, slimy, stuff taken from his Hnlthy wagon. Undoubtedly, this misunderstand- ing attitude has caused many people to pur- chase mechanical refrigerators. I predict that iii a few years, icemen will no longer pass up and down our streets with their warning bell ringing, and a group of happy, laughing children hanging upon the team to snatch a piece. Icemen will have gone into obliv- iong they will be one of yesterday's memor- ies. These unsung heroes will journey to some distant land where their worth will be more fully appreciated. ,They will live for- ever in that mysterious unknown world whence they sprung, and into which they in- evitably return.

You will hear this question asked re- peatedly by various residents of this, the greatest country on the globe. Strangely enough, there are many people who believe that a salute to the flag is unnecessary. The reasons why we should pay this honor to our flag are many, but time and space permit me to enumerate only a few. One of the greatest reasons why the act of veneration and respect should be given free-heartedly and graciously is because the stars and stripes represent the one country in the world which is recognized by the in- habitants of every other nation as a land of promise and a bower to the persecuted. Our flag represents the one country in all the world where the most obscure and perhaps poverty-stricken parents of a boy born under its colors can say, He may be President some day, with as much seriousness and truth as the parents of the boy who is born in more fortunate surroundings. When a man is to be elected to rule the destinies of the people, the factory worker or the poor- est farmer is just as important as the mill- ionaire. E In what other cduntry is education so free as in ours? W ere else in the world can be found the sa e magnificent institu- tions of learning, equipped with the most modern and up-to-date apparatus, adminis- tered by capable andl efficient corps of in- structors, who give so unstintingly of their stores of knowledge t' make the road easier for those who are vliilling to accept their teachings? Freedom such as is known in no other nation is taken by the American. H to have been born und so he nonchalantly t things over which oth long and bitterly. as a matter of course e is fortunate enough r the stars and stripes, kes as his privileges, -r nations have fought I glory in the fact that it is my Hag and am proud to say, I pledge allegiance to the Hag of the Uni and to the republic f nation indivisible, wi ted States of America ir which it stands, one .h liberty and justice for all. BETTY ROGERS, '37. CONQUERING THE ENEMY Armed only with F1 sharpened pencil and several sheets of pap r, I march calmly to the battle front, my faiforite haunt for study- ing, I am resigned trt my fate, for I know only too well from experience that my enemy, the dead-line for an essay, has an unques- tionable reputation for its rapid advance to attack its victims unaware. Therefore, I prepare to meet the onslaught with my only assurance of victory, a completed essay. While in the very deepest throes of creative thought, I delve in vain for the all- important topic. Then a glaring white light flashes before me. Suddenly there stands before my mind's eye the one and only topic in the world for me. I snatch it eagerly from oblivion and deliver it with utmost care, as if fearful of its escape, to the ever- present reality-my paper. With the most essential element cap- tured, I once more visit that mysterious land beyond, where only thought dwells, to obtain additional material in the guise of sentences to present my subject with more clearness. When it seems that I have about exhausted my creative ability, I draw upon any vestiges of power that remain in my greatly over-worked brain. and inspiration blesses me with an opening sentence. As if fed by the great satisfaction of having attained this stage of the essay, my brain now almost overflows with material to continue this exciting task. Now I labor zealously, composing the ideas into words, the words into sentences, and, in turn, the sentences into paragraphs. The paper now acquires a totally diferent appearance. Where once there was blankness, there now are words, words, words. The essay is fin- ished. I survey my masterpiece with fond eyes, remarking to myself that the secret of com- posing lies in the method of approach. But perhaps the reason for this egotistical satis- faction is that I have vanquished my enemy, the dead-line. Therefore, I have attained my goal, smilingly emerge the victor, and the battle is over. HELEN CAHILL, '37. QUIPS With apologies to The Reader's Digest The fellow who used to walk a mile for a Camel now gets a lift from the same brand. A blotter is something you look for while the ink dries. I have a cigarette lighter and a wife, and both of them workg so Pm happy. If only we could sleep as soundly at night as we do when it's time to get up! GEORGE WOLFE, '37. QIBUTORS' SECTION This section was planned by:- Miss Mary L. Burns, Faculty Advisor, Florence Cenedella, Elizabeth DeWitt, Shirley Hubbard, Helen Coniaris and Victor Dinardo. PHILOSOPHY OF A NUT I wish the world a system would adopt like Gertrude Stein. 'Twould be much eas- ier on brains, especially brains like mine. If one could write on nothing, what a grand world this would be. I'd be right in my ele- ment for all the world to see. Men who were making speeches could forget and start again. They could twist it 'roundg repeat themselves, they'd call it genius then. One could say, the bird, the bird, the grass, the sky, the lane. The world would gasp in glad surprise and own a genius once again. There'd be no more asylums, for there'd be no more insane. The nuts would live in palaces for swimming in the rain. The sane, who couldn't help themselves, would be held in quiet scorn. They'd be the low- est form of life, in -misery forlorn. On all my friends whose brains are clear, revenge would soon be mine-if the world a system would adopt like that of Gertrude Stein. ELIZABETH DeWITT, '3'7. A CHARACTER SKETCH Let me acquaint you with an outstand- ing personality of today. He is a small ro- tund Southerner whose crop of hair is wild- ly disordered, and whose determined chin is punctuated with a modest little dimple. Contrary to the popular belief that red hair and a fiery temper are companions, my sub- ject has black hair which seems to stand on its very end when he raises his voice in force- ful speeches. But fiery as the man may be, he possesses a marvelous sense of humor. His movements are interesting to ob- serve. He sways back and forth on his feet as he talksg his head is held aloft as if to de- fy the world, and his hands are generally clenched into fists, which are brought down in emphatic thumps on whatever happens to be in front of him. He is a public figure and seems to think that he is justifiedto give vent to his opin- ions whenever he chooses. But when one hears him say Lewzeeana in a lazy drawl, it is almost impossible not to like him. Many people consider him to be tactless and fool- ishg some even say, He is just plain crazy. But we cannot deny that a boomerang has been started by the peppery little fel- low, and though he is a man of many moods, he pays no heed to the public. In fact, I think that the kingfish, Huey P. Long, is unconscious of the commotion he is causing. RITA MOREY, '37. A STUDENTS LAMENT Oh dear, my teacher gives such tasks! And now a brand new poem asks, But who am I to think up rhyme And jot it down at any time? Am I a poet laureate, Who fails to realize it yet? Or am I what I think I am: A high school student in a jam? I don't feel much like writing verse, And when I try, it makes me worse, But in the face of her insistence I must desist from my resistance And put my shoulder to the wheel Regardless as to how I feel. And when she views my humble effort, I hope she won't be mean and F it. HELEN HAINES, '37, WE WANT TO KNOW:- What was so funny when Goucher said, You've gotta put HCaesar in a pail of water every night to keep it from getting dry ? Why Miss M. Cenedella was so angry when Kaizer put his feet in Anderson's lap? Who is the pitcher on the nine who must hate the pure air, because he is always hit- ting it with his bat at baseball practice? What made a boy singushut the dogr, they- 're looking through the window to Fergu- son at baseball practice one day? And, then, why did Ferg sit down so quickly? Why does Johnson think the traffic signal cor- ner so attractive? What made Coniaris so interested in Alabama U. from September to January? Why was 'fHaynes so crazy to see Flirtation Walk ? What Post-Gradu- ate condescended to go to the movies one Sunday night with a little Soph ? What have the Hopedale dances that we haven't, Miss Bagley? When fourth period comes around, why does Dorothy Speroni walk so slowly into class and keep gazing up and down the corridors? Why does Parente feel so insulted when a dog is called Bud- dy ? Why does Hubbard look bored when walking in glens? Why won't Kose- iak tell who her H. T. is? RITA MOREY, '3'7. WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF:- Philpot forgot to argue? Examination days never came?

FRESI-IMAN CONT GREETINGS, CLASS OF l935! Although circumstances have not brought us together very often, we have admired and respected your seniority and sincerely hope to live up to the high social and scholastic stand- ards which you have set for us. On behalf of the class of 1938 we extend to you our very best wishes for future success and happiness. ANTHONY VALLIE, President, 1938. TO THE SENIORS The end has come, as come it must To all things, in these sweet June days. Your teachers and yourselves do trust Your parting feet to diverse ways. And when the world shall link your names With famous deeds and honors fine, The teachers shall assert their claims And proudly whisper, You were mine. WINIFRED BOYER, '38 HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF '38 Dear Diary, September 10 To-day the Milford High School welcomed two hundred and thirty-two excited pupils into the Freshman Class. Practically the entire month was spent before we had familiarized ourselves with the new sur- roundings and curriculum. October This golden month brought with it much excitement. The election of class oflicers took place, and I'm sure that we showed good judgment in choosing Anthony Vallie for President, Adelaide Piteo, Vice-presi- dent, Phyllis Moriarty, Secretary, and Raymond Mainini, Treasurer. Shortly after the election, a Junior Football League was organized by Mr. David Davoren of the faculty who acted as coach and developed principles of good sports- manship in his charges. The Debating Club, under the supervision of faculty advisor Miss Inez SanClemente was also organized and afforded us both intellectual and social enjoyment. Four of our music- ally talented classmates were selected as members of the school Orchestra. November Keen pleasure was in store for us all dur- ing the crisp days of this month. We all derived satisfaction from watching the gridiron tactics of our classmates and their brothers-the upper classmen. December Now for big news! The addition to the High school is gradually taking shape, It will serve a much needed purpose and will dwarf the present building which was con- structed in 1900. On December 3, and in the presence of school oHicials, Mr. Berry dug the first spadeful of earth for the an- nex. On December 21, a donation for the Salvation Army was collected, so that we could share in part in the good Christmas work done by this organization. January A New Year! We resolved to complete our homework faithfully every night. February We strike a sad note. Miss MacGowan an- nounced her engagement. We rejoice in her happiness but regret that she will be with us no longer after this year. We ex- tend her our best wishes. March On the twentieth of this month the boys of the class assembled at the State Thea- tre and listened to an illustrated talk on baseball given by Mr. George Moriarty of the American League. April There is nothing much to write about. Oh, yes, a week's vacation was granted to us! May The winter is over, spring is here-and so are the Boston Red Sox, Brooklyn Dodgers, Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, Wash- ington Senators, and Boston Braves-the freshman Baseball League organized and coached by Mr. David Davoren. June Oh, Diary, guess what? The Seniors have allowed us to go on their excursion. And are we glad? Practically the entire class Went along and had a splendid day and night at the beach. We bade fond fare- wells to all, departed, and looked forward to vacation with mingled joy and sorrow. And now at last, I close your cover until next September when, as a Sophomore, I shall have a more interesting account to give you. Fondly yours, FRANCES CARTER, '3 8. THE' LARK A singing lark Hoats high above, Just at the set of sun. He sings his thrilling song of love, To call the mate he won. And in the morn at break of dawn, From deep within the glade, I hear again the lovely song, From neath an oak tree's shade. It thrills me as it did his mate, That song so sweet and clearg From early morn till evening late, My heart is filled with cheer. PAUL B OLAND, '3 8. BUTORS' SECTION COMMITTEE This section was supervised by the Misses Dorothy Callahan' and Florence Mainini of the faculty, and the following members of the Freshman class: Paul Boland Mary Grillo Marjorie Kerr Raymond Mainini Pierina Ramelli MY CHOICE I love to dream of summer time Of trees and flowers fair, When marigolds and buttereups Are blooming everywhere. I love to hear the murmuring Of streams and babbling brooks, To sit and watch them gently flow In every secret nook. When winter comes, I'm sad and blue, For skies are dull and gray, :But sorrow turns to happiness When summer comes to stay. MARY GRILLO, ,38. THE VALUE OF THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT During the Boer War, General Baden- Powell organized the boys of Mafeking into a band of army scouts who, in turn, helped greatly to defend that town from the at- tacks of the enemy. This made a favorable impression upon him, and when he returned to England, the general organized what are now known as the Boy Scouts. From Eng- land the idea spread to America and finally the world over had its own particular group. The Boy Scout movement is a new and educational one. It is not the purpose of the Scouts to accomplish new results, but to instill in the members those qualifications which make for respectable citizenship. Scouting is a great factor in developing a boy's ehaiacter, and in teaching him to be a good sport. It gives the boy ability to do for himself and others: to train himself in Scoutcraft, and to teach himself patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues. There are library books that teach, but Scouting is more successful in developing these qualities, as the boy learns by actions. As a leader of the Boy Scouts once said, If a boy qualifies in the proper way for the merit badges required to become an Eagle Scout, he has an education equivalent to that given by a high school and college. PAUL BOLAND, '38, AUTUMN LEAVES The autumn leaves aflame descend, Their many hues and colors blend To form a shroud of beauty rare, And be a tiny creature's lair. To Him who makes the leaves turn green, To Him who makes all glory seen, We give our thanks to Him above, For autumn's glory we all love. FLORENCE MAZZINI, '38, WOULDN'T THE SHOCK BE FATAL IF: Delsignore didn't know his Latin? Cooney didn't attempt to argue? Cahill came to school one full week? Celozzi failed to slick down his hair? Paul Boland suddenly dropped his west- ern accent? Miss De Fazio wasn't caught chewing gum? Paradiso missed a band rehearsal? Melpignano lost Mr. Davoren's laundry business? Vendetti forgot to ask questions? Veronica McGuigan spoke out of turn? CAN YOU IMAGINE: San Clemente without his white shoes? Consigli without his Shirley Temple curls? Miss Johnson not blushing? Luchini and Foye agreeing? Miss Sonne coming to school three days in succession? Pearson as a snake charmer? Evelyn Calabrese without her brief case? Price not talking to Miss Pearson? Miss Moriarty not knowing her home- work? WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF: Espanet stopped teasing? Agnes Curley stopped writing for the teachers? Agnes Damigian stopped talking about clothes? ,Davis didn't blush when called on? Dugan ceased to be poetic? Archibald ever actually seemed wide awake? Snow weren't so popular? Foye didn't lose his temper? O'Connell ever ran a race? Hazel McNifT weren't witty? Marjorie Kerr lost her smile? Scott failed to bring an extra pencil? Miss Bullard didn't borrow a pencil? Miss Bruno didn't prepare her English? Bigonski liked the girls? Miss Casasanta weren't polite? Calarese weren't the envy of the girls? Bernardi were a woman hater? Miss Antolini were funny? Borelli didn't stare at the English teacher? Miss Gobbi came to class unprepared? Grillo didn't use slang? Iannitelli didn't chew gum? Gemma didn't know his English? Miss Lavigne talked slowly?

JEAN V. SUNDERLAND, '35, 1885. Two groups composed the class of 1885. The English or two year class, and the four year class. Thirteen of the first group were graduated in 1883, and twenty- seven of the other in 1885. Miss M. A. Parkhurst and Mr. H. W.

Our class staged and managed the only two Industrial Exhibi- tions ever held in the M. H. S. The proceeds from the paid admissions were our farewell gift to the School, and took the form of re- tinting the walls of the 'large room? We al- so, with Mr. Lull's assistance, edited and inanaged the first year of the Oak, Lily, and vy. The English group was graduated with the Class of 1883, but the ceremony for the others took place on the stage of Music Hall -now called the Opera House. Every one had a part. Frank L.

An unexpected rain-storm was drenching the hilly region of a small village in New England. A fierce wind howled and moaned through the huge trees of a rather secluded spot just beyond the village lights. Mud was everywhere. It was oozing in the narrow, winding roadway where a few straggling horses had struggled along earlier in the evening, it was caked around the trees, and some of it had splashed on both sides of the worn road. Sudden iiashes of light- ning revealed a shady landscape of sturdy trees and rugged hills. The night was cold. A pinpoint of light gleamed in the darkness. It seemed to come from a small clump of trees at a short distance from the road, which did not quite reach the dense wood further back. A sudden burst of lightning revealed a tiny weatherbeaten shack almost hidden by the trees. It seemed to be deserted. Another flash, however, showed smoke escaping from a dilapidated chimney. A flickering light, as from a candle, came through a tiny cracked window. The house was apparently occupied, but its interior presented a most desolate appearance. There was a tiny room abso- lutely barren of luxuries. The flickering flame from a tiny fireplace revealed several small humps on the dirt floor. A heavy iron pot, from which the musty odor of a broth issued, hung from a rod extending across the top of the fire. Over this fire- place was a decayed wooden shelf upon which a kerosene lamp held full reign. The walls of the cabin were roughly- hewn with half-decayed boards, which al- so formed the outside walls. Rusty nails were hammered all around the room. Di- rectly opposite the fireplace was a low couch, at the foot of which, was a crumpled dirty blanket. A box-like cupboard was half hidden in the shadow of one corner of the room. , The most unusual feature of the room, however, was the figure of a stooped man who sat behind an untidy table. He pre- sented a striking appearance. Straggling bits of gray hair fell over a low forehead. A thin aquiline nose thrust itself out be- tween close-set, small, avaricious eyes, over which shaggy brows met together. Grim- ness of expression was shown in his tightly-compressed, thin lips. Deep wrinkles embedded themselves in his anemically yellow skin. His outthrust chin indicated a firmness and tenacity of mind. But it was his hands which attracted the most attention. They were yellow hands-toil-worn hands. They were greedy, clutching hands that would ap- parently grasp everything within reach. Now they were delving in and out of silver and gold dollars, which were lying in a heap upon the table. A gleam of avarice and desire shone in his leering eyes. His ever-moving hands now held up a heap of gold and silver, which he let slip gradually through his fingers, as he gazed hungrily at the sparkle they caught from the flame of the fire. A harsh cracked laugh of satisfaction escaped his lips. He was suddenly interrupted in the midst of his gloating by a loud knock. His startled gaze fied to the doorg then to the pile of money. He quickly seized the pieces and thrust them into two sacks, which he threw into a small compartment on the side of the fireplace. The knock came again. He opened the door. A short, neat, but thoroughly-soaked man stood on the threshold. May I come in? he asked in a frightened but clear voice. The door was slowly opened wider, and a suspicious gaze was leveled on the stranger who without awaiting a welcome, entered quietly and slipped off his wet coat. The old man's eyes never left the intruder, even as he hung the coat on the door. I was caught in the sudden rain while on the road to Dawson. The wheels of my wagon became stuck in the muddy roads, and I was unable to proceed. I brought my horses under the clump of trees at the side of your houseg they will be sheltered for a while. His words seemed to have fallen on deaf ears, but after a few minutes of sil- ence he was rewarded with an answer. Dawson? That's not far from here. You could have reached the town in an- other half hour. For a moment the stranger remained silent. The horses that I hired, Sir, were overtired. If they were my own, I prob- ably would have acted diqerentlyf' Hired horses? Hired? You paid money to hire horses when it would have been just as easy to walk the distance? His voice rose incredulously. Think how much money you would have saved. Gold pieces-sparkling gold pieces that glisten and sparkle in the light-you threw away! These words brought a sudden glow to his eyes. He seemed as in a trance. His Whole body was atremble, and his hands began to clutch and grasp in front of him. . ' The stranger remained transfixed in his chair. Never had he seen such insane- ly desirous eyes. Greed shone through their fixed glassiness. He regarded his host quietly, and as the spell began to wear off, he voiced his feelings. Walked that distance of twenty miles? Why I would have been insane to think of such a thing. What is money for but to make easier the more difficult turn of life's highway for one's self and his friends? For a moment the miser stared in credulously at him. He seemed too shocked to move. Then his gaze rested scornful- ly on this intruder. Bah! The fool's way of thinking! And friends- here scorn and abhorence entered his voice- They are hypocrites who draw all they can from you and then leave you. That is a friend! Like a tor- rent these words fell from his sneering lips. With pity in his eyes and sorrow in his voice, the stranger gave vent to his thoughts. What is life for but to be lived? A secluded existence-no friends-no con- tacts-no happiness or joy in living-all indicate a life completely wasted. The very essence of life is friendship-we need someone to whom we can reveal our deep- est feelings and thoughts. Life is so short that one should make the most of it. Bah! I take no heed of your words. They are but the words and thoughts of who have gone to schools. Bah! He glowered at the man. A silence followed this last exclama- tion, during which the stranger became deeply engrossed in his thoughts. The miser grunted and laughed under his breath. The fire crackled on brightly and cast weird shadows upon the faces of these two men so different in type. The long silence also revealed that the storm had somewhat abated. The stranger rose to leave. He stood silently for a moment at the door and put out his hand. Thank you for the shelter, but, my friend, take heed to what I said before it is too late. You will regret it some day if you don't now. When his host did not proffer his hand, he left quietly. The door closed with a bang, and the miser returned to his table. He sat quietly and gazed deeply into the heart of the fire. Several times a low, mocking laugh fell from his lips. In about an hour, he rose and slowly poked the embers. Convinced that they would burn for a time, he reached to take down a sickle which was hanging on the wall. He wished to sharpen it for the next day's work. Suddenly a decayed piece of wood, loosened by the weather effects of the many seasons, fell down upon his shoulder. Startled, he turned around, and before he became fully aware of what had happened, he lost his balance. A sharp pain in his left arm drew his attention. The sickle which had fallen from its perch had cut a deep gash in the old man's arm. As he gazed spellbound at the cut, the blood spurted out. For a moment his senses reeled, and everything whirled be- fore him. Blood-a thing he could never stand. A doctor-he needed one-anything to have his life. He sprang up, tied a heavy cloth on his arm, seized his money bags from the compartment, clasped them tightly to his breast, and fled out from the shack-he knew not where. Out to the village was his first thought-thirty minutes. He hastened his steps-his thoughts began to ramble. The rain began to fall again, and before he realized it, he was drenched to the skin. Suddenly he discovered that he was not on the road. He was walking, but he knew not where. Trees were all around him-he was in the woods! Alone! -Where?-He was lost! On and on-the trees around him held the rain-he was bleeding, but the wound did not pain any longer-he was numb. Where was he? God in Heaven, help me! Help Me! Why had he left the house-he should have used more than one rag to cover his wound-the blood had oozed through- where was he? It was an eternity-years since he had left his house-money- money-. He was becoming weak. Friends-the very essence of life is friendship-someone to whom you reveal your thoughts-money is of no consesuence -. What were those words that seemed to haunt him? Ah, yes, he remembered. They were true-why had he not realized if before? If he could only find his way out of the woods-it was so dark and dreary-why had he not lived differently? Friends-help-money-. Life is so short that one should make the most of it. Where had he heard this before? Money-fool that he had been! To live alone! He should have known. He staggered on. In a frenzy he threw away one of the bags. He did not want it, but -gold and silver-gold that sparkles- sparkles-gleams-why had he thrown it away? He wanted it-his gold-his sparkling gold and silver that he had saved for so many years. I must have it! I will find it! His tottering steps turned him around and he sank on his knees. His trembling hands were seeking the bag. He thought of a doctor, and-. He must have a doctor to treat his arm. He needed help not money! With a curse he threw the second sack away and hastened uncertain- ly away. Forgive me, God! I have lived wrong! Forgive me! Ah, 'tis not too late is it-? He discarded the regained sack again. An exultant, triumphant note caused his voice to vibrate. What was that upon which he fell? He was falling-falling-falling. Waves and volumes of noise, thunder, increasing, rolling-rolling-nearer-nearer-over and around him-enveloping him--increasing -louder until it reached a high crescendo, and then in a great illuminating light, it burst. And the moon, bursting out from be- hind a thunder cloud, looked silently down upon a man who had lived, yet had not lived until the end. KAY OHANIAN, '35, I. THE AUTHOR'S WIFE. Miller Stark lay dying. His was a lingering death, and he had plenty of time to reflect on his strange life, which was ruined by an obsession that ruled all his days and governed his every action. He had desired to erect a monument to him- self. He wished to Write a book that would live forever--a masterpiece. He had not succeeded, although he had written many stories and had published many best-sell- ers. However, more than anyone else, he realized that as good as his best books were, they were not masterpieces. For him life had been a quest for a theme, for the ever-present, yet never- found story that would appeal to all people of all time. This quest led him over the world. He visited New York, Paris, Lon- don, Shanghai, Java, Borneo, and every other conceivable place in search of a story. He formed and rejected many plots, each seemed to have some flaw. Life had been difficult for him, but it was much more so for his wife, poor soul, who had wanted a home and a family in a small New England town. But he had dragged her along with him on all his trips. He could still remember her vain pro- testations: But why must we race around the world all our lives for a theme that you must find, Mil? Let's buy that house in Peacedale. It's calm and quiet there, and will afford a pleasing environment for your writing. You're just as liable to find the theme there as in some far corner of the world. He continued to reflect. Can't you understand, Evie dear, that I must travel? I must see life in all its phases so that I can write as to appeal to all people of all time. I must seek a story that will be my masterpiece! Is everything packed? ' Yes, Mil. Thus he remembered how the years passed. They had seen strange sights, peculiar people, and had visited many lands. The ever elusive theme always seemed just ahead. As he lay thinking, Miller Stark real- ized that Evie probably hated him and the life he had forced upon her. He hat- ed himself for it. It's strange, he mused, That my last thoughts are of her, and not of my unwritten masterpiece. Suddenly a strange thought filled his brain, and he began to mutter to himself. Is it possible! Oh what a fool I've been! What a fool! Here I've been drag- ging my masterpiece around with me all these years. Evie, oh Evie, come here quick! What's wrong, Mil? I've found it, dear, I've found it! My masterpiece! It's you, your life! It has everything, adventure, travel, life, and a great love story! Oh, I know you love Jim Hart. I've known it for a long time. She flushed, but faced him bravely. I don't blame you, Evie, I realize I killed all your feeling for me. I hope you'll be happy with him. Goodbye, I'm goingf' But a little later she heard him murmur, The Authoris Wife. What a story! II. A week later they buried him, and after the funeral Evelyn Stark was sitting alone in her tiny apartment. It's strange, she mused, even his last thoughts were of his unwritten masterpiece. What was the title? He said it was about my life, him-. She pondered a few minutes, then be- gan to talk to herself. It has everything: adventure, we had plenty of that, travel, altogether too much of thatg life, we saw more than enough, love, he knew about Jim, but he would not let me go-the beast! I'll fix him, I'll write the story and be the author of a masterpiece. Fortunately she had kept a diary, and by consulting its pages, she passed several months writing a book by which she would avenge herself. III. ' Six months after they buried Miller Stark, ,Evelyn became Mrs. Hart. She and her husband were still young. They were completely happy in their beautiful home in Peacedale. Shortly after her wedding, Evie fin- ished the book. As she thought of the days she might have spent living with Jim, instead of racing around the world with Miller Stark, her hatred increased. One night she told Jim. Jim, Mil knew we loved each other, but he would not let me go. I'll get even with him yet. Oh forget it, darling, poor Mil is dead, and We are happy now. Forget it! How can I ever forget it! All those years I spent running around the world with him might have been spent with you. But I'll get even. She didn't tell Jim about the book, and she couldnit bring herself to the point of having it published. For months the manuscript lay in a drawer. She was ideally happy, and seldom thought of Mil- ler Stark. However, one evening Jim came home from his broker's oflice without his usual grin. My dear, he said, things are getting worse, I'm barely holding on, and if mat- ters don't grow better soon, we're done for. It's going to be tough sledding for a while. She took the blow calmly. After all, she had Jim. What did money matter? IV. A month later the firm of Hart and Company went into bankruptcy. The Harts were not living in the same house in Peacedale now. They moved to a poor section of town. Jim was not so cheer- ful of late, and his wife quickly learned the value of money. One day Jim found some typed pages. He showed them to Evie. Is this one of Mil's books? he asked. Oh that's his masterpiece, she sighed, and her dormant hatred flared anew. His masterpiece! Then it must be worth a fortune! We'll have it published, it will put us back on Easy Street, Jim exclaimed. We'll publish itf' she thought. V. A week later they were seated in the office of the editor-in-chief of a great pub- lishing concern. The editor was talking. Why this story is a masterpiece, it will sweep the country. It has everything: adventure, travel, life, and a great love story! These astounding words from an ordinarily cautious editor were a finishing touch to Evie's triumph. They then came to terms, very liberal terms. The book might make them inde- pendent for life, she realized. They finished the minor details. What's the title to be? asked the editor. The Authofs Wife. And the author? She did not answer. What is the author's name? he re- peated. Another long pause, then she cleared her throat, took a quick breath, and said, Miller Stark. RICHARD SIEGEL, '35. THE LITTLE RED LAMP. The Little Red Lamp was burning with a warm glow in the window of the Perry homestead. Like a beacon its light shone forth into the darkness of the som- bre night and lent a soft radiance to the little Weatherbeaten house. Inside Mrs. Perry was seated by the fire darning one of Davy's socks which she unconsciously fondled every now and then. Oh, how she did love her Davy! When he was born, the Perry couple were in their early forties, and for a long time they had prayed that God would bless them with a son. He had answered their prayers. Davy was their only child and they loved him dearly. The spacious rocker opposite that of Mrs. Perry's was vacant. A corn-cob pipe, which was lying idly on the arm of the chair, indicated that the father of the household, tired after a hard day's work in the fields, had gone to bed. Mrs. Perry darned on and on. Soon she began to nod. She shook herself and glanced up at the clock. It struck half past ten. Davy never remained so long over to Tom's. He was always home by ten o'clock. Maybe, she thought, they are in the middle of a good game of checkers. Davy likes checkers. Besides, Davy isn't a baby and can take care of himself. He is now a big, robust boy of seventeen. However, she couldn't go to bed. She tilted the shade of the lamp, which for generation and generation, had signified to those loved ones who were coming home that Mother was waiting for them, Why Davy often voiced the thought that he couldn't recognize the old homestead after dark if the lamp were not glowing from one of the windows. Its light gave him a contented, secure feeling when he turned the corner. He fondly christened it The Light of Motherly Love. It was twelve o'clock and Mrs. Perry was worried. Father, she called in a frightened voice, Davy isn't home yet. You'd better run over to Tom's. Some minutes later Mr. Perry re- turned. He had a worried look on his face, little flakes of snow were clinging to his clothing. He's not over there, Mother. He hasn't been there all evening. You don't suppose he was serious the other night when he was talking about going to sea? You know he has always been fond of it. No, he was only joking, Father. He knows we would never consent to his go- ing. Maybe he went to town and had to remain there tonight because of the storm. I'll wait up for him a while longer. The Little Red Lamp burnt steadily through the night, but did not greet Davy, who bore out his father's thought and went to sea, for which he always had a passion- ate love. He had accepted an offer to work aboard a fishing schooner, for his one de- sire was to earn suiiicient money which would enable his parents to spend their last years in comfort, free from toil. On that snowy night ten years ago, he had kissed his mother and father good- bye, as he always did even when running across to Tom's. He also bade the Little Red Lamp a fond farewell. He did not go to Tom's, he went to sea. When he re- ceived his first pay, three months after his departure from home, he enclosed it in his first letter and proudly mailed it to his beloved parents. But it was returned un- opened, as were the many others which followed. He did not know that his fath- er had died within a short time after his departure, and that his mother had moved many miles away from his former home. All of these thoughts were going through Davy's mind as he entered the harbor of the little fishing village where his boat was to dock. For the first time in ten years Davy Perry was about to set foot on his native shores. It was snowing quite heavily, but he didn't seem to mind. The night he left home saw the snow fall. Suddenly some- thing caught his eye! ! But oh, he must be dreaming. His imagination was run- ning away with him. He beheld a little red lamp, smiling bravely from the window of a small gray cottage which overlooked the sea. Davy's step became surerg a light of hope shone in his eyes, and he experi- enced the same contented feeling he did of old. But he must be mistaken! His old homstead was many miles from here and all indications had convinced him that his parents were dead. Still there was only one Light of Motherly Love like that in the world. He went hesitatingly up the path and softly opened the door of the cottage. In- side he saw an exact replica of the sitting room in the old homestead where he had lived as a boy. Dad's chair was there, and the old corn-cob pipe was holding its fa- miliar place of honor on the arm of the chair. There by the fire, with her hands in her lap, sat his dear mother. She was older and grayer than when he last saw her. A strangled sob escaped him as he called Mother, I'm back from Tom's. The Little Red Lamp smiled a radiant tribute of thanks to the sea beyond, VERONICA MORIARTY, '35. CLOAK ROOM CLIQUES. The recess bell, better known as the rescue bell, at the Girls' High, poured forth from many doors a heterogeneous stream of pubescity, eager for a few minutes' freedom. All types were well represented. The colorful throng stormed down stairs and through long corridors with unceasing chatter. Each group of kindred souls quickly congregated at its customary spot. The campus, corridors, landings, and cloak room all had a full quota. Shirley, late as usual, but hurrying for fear of missing Gwen's promised re- cital, joined her clique in the cloak room. The chitter-chatter sounded like a Chinese convention. A steady parade came and went, joined groups or left them, yet miraculously, everyone seemed to know what it was all about. Near Shirley's pals a few were craming for a resume history test. One Helpful Hannah was giving some pointers. When Sir Francis Drake returned after a successful voyage, Queen Liz knighted him on his own quarter-deck. What part of the Queen's 'V assal was that? demanded a Lady Loud-mouth. The quarter-deck, Miss Obtuse, is part of the Vassal's vessel! Miss Obtuse yourself, I'm way ahead of that drivel anyway. I'm on the taxa- tion problem. Current events, eh? Enough of the sagacious crevices, Chick-a-dee, and that goes for the rest of you crackers-Wise. If we don't get this forthcoming questionaire, our tellers will be worked with a vengence. Have not the lambikins been forewarned in no un- certain tones? And here's a point we musn't forget to remember, continued the self-appointed tutor, the Colonists would- n't have had such a tough break in Parlia- ment if Lord Chatham didn't have to leave London because of his gout and go to Bath. Stew bad the poor soul didn't know about Life Buoy, reflected a little bright eyes. Would you mind pausing in these hysterical recitations long enough to help this poor soul, pleaded a hitherto silent member of the group. I was caught whispering in English A and I have to- Memorize a poem, six voices spoke as one. Exactly! And the only poems I know are by J. Wallington Wimplyf' Millie and Peg were listening with interest to a far different topic. Gwen had her arm about her chum, Madeline, but frequently needed it to explain her story. Madeline and Gwen were exact opposites, yet a perfect understanding cemented their friendship for all time. Gwen was all animation and radiated the much de- sired pep, vim, and vigor. Madeline's sweet smile and quiet poise proclaimed a calmer nature. She listened with indulg- ence to Gwen's enthusiasms. Aw, Gwen, please start over again, pleaded Shirley. Some time, Lightin', you're going to lose out, said Peg, without sympathy. Wel-l yesterday, repeated Gwen, I was going by the parking space near the Bijou when I saw a distinguished looking man and two young fellows getting into a Dusenberg, or maybe it was a Hispano Sueza. The fellows were wearing the snaz- ziest uniforms! Really 'n truly, pals, my heart somersaulted right up to my ton- silsf' For the car or the uniforms? quir- ied Millie. For the fellow in the uniform, the snappiest uniform, of course. Of course! chorus. He was holding the door for the others and as I was about to pass them, I was so flustered that I dropped my bag, 'n as luck would have it, it opened: every- thing spilled in forty-seven directions. I can picture that cascade, offered Peg, everything from bobby pins to shoe buckles, eh, Lovey? And I can finish the picture, chimed in Shirley. The handsome hero looked at the fair damosel in distress, sort of laugh- ed a little, and then helped her to pick it all up! You vas dere Sharley! giggled Gwen, I forgot all about the others until the elderly man broke in on my trance with, 'Aheml I'm glad to see we still have chivalry in this age of chiselry, mah boy, but how about us?' My West Pointer, Cfor I'm sure he is a Cadet, hurriedly tip- ped his hat and said 'see you in church.' Aw! I'll bet he was the chauffeur, wet blanketted Millie with a noisey wink to the others. Wrong the first time, retorted Gwen with a toss of her blond waves, The older man was driving. Eureka! exclaimed Shirley, I've solved the problem! 'Member Eloise brag- ging about her cousin at West Point and his chum coming to visit her during the Christmas holidays? When they didn't show up, and we tried to call her bluff she said they would come later. I'll bet my chain-letter dimes, they are the afore- mentioned, because Eloise lives right near the Bijou. Eloise is a snag in any romance. That name reminds me of a lizard. All is not lost, my Sweet, consoled Madeline, I'll bet she brings them to our prom next Friday. The bell rang, the cliques broke up and disappeared as quickly as the beads of a suddenly snapped necklace. Two days later all plans for the dance were well underway. I can't go because I can't have a new dress, announced Shirley. Now Shirley! You know your latest is simply perff' Yes, but I've scored on Dorothy twice in that, and now she has a stunning new Hoor sweeper especially for this minuet, and in comparison, I'd rate as many heart throbs from Billiam as if I were wearing Queen Mary's hat. I lost my bet on the iight, bemoaned Gwen, so I have to decorate the elbow of that flub-dub Mardin. Time passed, as is its wont, and Fri- day took the bid with hearts as trumps. Some spectator has said that a high school senior is the world's darling, and so it seemed, for even Nature co-operated by giving a lavish setting for this long anti- cipated dramag but even the brightest scene must have its shadows. The evening started miserably for Gwen when Eloise Hounced into the trans- formed gym with the expression of the cat that ate the canary. By her side was the Cadet, sans uniform, but his military bearing proclaimed him unmistakably the Knight of the Eveningg then too, he was at least two years older than the others. He's looked toward me several times, but I wasn't looking. confided Gwen to Madeline during a snatched moment, N' I can't give him the slightest rec, 'cause I'd simply die if She got wise to my true feelings. Mardin was monopolizing Gweng Eloise was expertly steering the Cadetg Madeline felt it her duty to do something about it. She finally managed an intro- duction to the man of the hour. Gwen was popular in her own right but appeared to be doublv so as her pals, under the direction of Madeline, constant- lv thought up reasons to send their own B F's over to her. As one young blade re- marked- Looks as if Gwennie is getting the results promised by the advertisements. The Cadet was impressed but he got ne'ery a glance. During a period of re- decoration in the cloak room Madeline whispered to Peg- NoW's the time to put in your oar in our pull for the shore of Gwen's happiness. Peg apparently played traitor by con- fiding to Eloise that Gwen had boasted that no one could get Mardin away from her. This news gave prospects of a con- quest. Eloise straightway set forth to do her duty as local heart breaker. How could she know that the sweet smiles Gwen bestowed upon Mardin were for the Cadet's observation-but she should have been suspicious when the happy Mardin was dumped into her lap at only the sec- ond come-hither flicker. At this point, Madeline, accidently on purpose brought about an introduction be- tween the apparently surprised Gwen and the pleased Cadet. For the rest of the Prom Madeline and her cohorts neglected their own affairs d'amour to watch the growth of an ecstatically sweet romance. The girls were more eager than usual for the post mortems at the recess confab. Thev were giving Shirley the low down on the high doings of the big night when Gwen joined them with the cryptic smile of one who knows other worlds. She was beseiged with questions. Well, among other things, she con- ceded, he said I was all his three wishes. Oh, he's wonderful girls! That's what you said about the last two! Did he tell you all about West Point 'V Oh no girls. We guessed wrong. He works for a Theatrical Supply Company in the citv and the day I saw him, he and the other fellow were demonstrating ushers uniforms at the Bijou. A man model, you mean? gasped Madeline. A model man is what I mean, honey, retorted Gwen as the bell adjourned their meeting. NELLIE FITZGERALD, '33. A LITTLE PROBLEM IN JEWELRY. A roadster swung around the corner onto Tremont Street, and with a screech- ing of brakes, stopped abruptly at the curb in front of TiiTany's. It was a long, sleek car, of deep mauve. The top was lowered to give its occupant full benefit of the crisp spring morning. As it came to a halt, a gloved hand closed over the top of the side door, just above the monogram F. P. T. The door opened, and a tall bare- headed, young man stepped out. Frank, I won't go another step un- less you tell me just what made you drag me out of bed so early in the morning. Why, you'd think you were on some mys- terious errand for the President of the United States himself, you're acting so im- portantlv Frank Thorpe slid back into the car, tilted his hat just a little farther back on his head, and smiled down aiably at his companion. Now, Princess Charming, you know that I'd never make you lose your beauty sleep if I didn't need your advice on a mat- ter of utmost importance to me, and also to the most beautiful, most adorable, most In other words, interrupted Mary Louise, you pulled me down here to buy some little knick-knack for Elinor. Now just because Elinor Jordan happens to be my best friend doesn't mean that you've any right to impose- Sweet, gentle, Mary Louise! Frank mocked, with a deep sigh, I know that pa- tience was never a great virtue of yours, but please listen to me. You're here to help me buy an engagement ring for Elinor. Did you get that? Now, he pleaded, do you understand? Mary Louise looked up at the plead- ing face, and finally shrugged her should- ers and said, O. K. Come on then. She emerged from the car and entered Tiffany's with Frank. Upon request, a clerk took some rings from a tray and placed them on the counter for examina- tion. In an adjourning room in the same store, Elinor Jordan and Wendell Raftery were selecting a bracelet. It was to be a gift for Wendell's sister Alice. Wendell always came to Elinor with his problem, and she always solved them in her quiet, understanding way. Wendell was an old dear! Elinor did like him, but she knew she could never feel the same toward him as she did toward Frank. Last night when he had told her of the splendid contract he received from his last invention-enough to make him weal- thy- the world seemed to spin around him. Elinor picked up another bracelet and, lost in her day dreams, began to finger it quite absently. Suddenly she heard a voice coming from the next room. Her heart seemed to skip a beat, as it always seemed to when she heard that voice! Surely-no-yes, that was Frank's voice. She also recognized that quick low laugh! Her face lit up with a radiant smile, as she dropped the bracelet on the counter and ran to the doorway to greet Frank. But the smile vanished when she reached the entrance and beheld the occupants of the next room. Why, Mary Louise was there with him and he was smiling at her, with the smile which Elinor thought was re- served for her alone. What could they be doing here at Tif- fany's together-and looking at rings- diamond rings! This will certainly make a beautiful engagement ring, the clerk was sayingg Surely you like it, Miss Manning. So that was it, he was getting her an engagement ring! Oh! how could Mary Louise do such .a thing? Didn't friend- ship mean any more to her than that? Elinor began to see light. So that was why her girl friend and Frank had talked so confidently last night! Elinor's dream castle went tumbling down as she slowly walked back to Wendell. Mary Louise and Frank had purchas- ed the ring and were waiting for the jeweler to return with the package. Im- patiently, as ever, Frank was pacing back and forth across the richly-carpeted floor, and he casually glanced up at the long mir- ror. His glance became a prolonged stare. There in the mirror were reflected the figures of Elinor and Wendell Raftery! Wendell was holding up a charming brace- let, the stones sparkled around the room. Was Wendell buying Elinor a bracelet? He had always thought they were just good friends, and Elinor hadn't told him that she was to have this afternoon off. Her office work was usually too busy to allow her any extra time. Come on, Mary Louise, let's get out of here, he muttered and started for the door. Anything you say, Frank old boy! But wait a minute, you aren't forgetting this, are you? answered Mary Louise pushing the box into his overcoat pocket. They got into the roadster. Frank started the motor and stared grimly ahead as he drove down the busy thoroughfare. But all he could see was a bracelet. That evening, a tall young man hesi- tantly mounted the front steps of the J ord- an house and rang the bell. Good evening, he said to the maid who answered. Is Miss Jordan in? How do you do, Mr. Thorpe? Won't you come into the library while I call her? The maid ushered him in and left to in- form Elinor of his arrival. The library was warm, cozy, and com- fortable looking. It was quite out of keeping with Frank's present mood. Left to himself, Frank aimlessly wandered around the room a few times before he came to a stop before the radio. Glancing carelessly down, he noticed a card tray on the top of it. There was one card which seemed to stare him, in fact it mocked his very presence. It was that of Wendell T. Raftery. Oh, that man! Was everything to be a reminder of him? Frank picked up the card, and when he was about to tear it, his fingers let it fall to the fioor. It landed in such a position that its message was immediately discernible: Sorry I missed you. Will you do me another favor, Elinor? Tomorrow is Alice's birthday, you know, and I want you to help me select a gift-jewelry, perhaps. Please let me know. Wendell. A few hours later, the rosy hue of the lamp seemed to be refiected in the shin- ing eyes of Elinor and Frank. Each un- derstood the other and was reflecting in the light of the sparkling diamond on Elinor's finger. ANN HARRINGTON, '36. - DEMOCRACY IN THE CONSTITUTION Note: This essay was awarded the Hon. John E. Swift Medal. Few people take the trouble of trying to find out what democracy really is. Yet this would help, for they would find that it is nothing more than an experiment in government, which as Lowell says is more likely to succeed in a new soil, but likely to be tried in all soils, which must stand or fall on its own merits as others have done before it. President Lincoln defined democracy to be the government of the people, by the people, for the people. This is a suf- ficiently compact statement of democracy as a political machine. Theodore Parker said that Democ- racy meant not 'I'm as good as you are,' but 'You're as good as I am.' This defi- nition, coupled with Lincoln's, would es- tablish Democracy as an institution that would easily solve all the riddles of politic- al and social being that have been proposed to mankind from the beginning. It was thought at one time that a democracy was only possible in small territories. This is doubtless true of a democrary strictly de- fined, for in such, all persons decide di- rectly upon every question, of public con- cern in a general assembly. Democracies to which Abraham Lin- coln's definition would apply have existed, and still do exist. In these however, though the supreme authority lies with the people, they can only act indirectly on the national policy. The framers of the American Consti- tution were far from wishing or intend- ing to form a democracy in the strict sense of the word, though, as was inevit- able every expansion of the scheme of gov- ernment they elaborated has been in a democratic direction. However, these great men realized that with the sands of time, moved the thoughts and habits of men. They recognized fully the value of tradition and habit as the great allies of permanence and stability. The day of sentiment was over and no fine-drawn an- alyses of the Rights of Man would serve their present turn. This was a practical question and they adapted themselves to it as men of knowledge and judgment should. Their problem was how to make English principles and precedents fit the new conditions of American life, and they solved it with singular discretion. With few exceptions they probably admitted the logic of the then accepted dilemma exist- ing in democracy, anarchy, or despotism. .But as democracy, strictly defined, limited small territories, democracy, in a broader sense, controls vast domains. And they were to legislate for a widely scat- tered population and for colonies already practised in the discipline of partial free- dom. The material they had to work with was already tempered to their hands by more than a century's teachings. They had an unequalled opportunity and enorm- ous advantages, but it was their task to give a permanent and conservative form to such a shapeless mass. In their labors they found states conflicting in interests, and social systems that make existence as a Union conditional on a constant practice of compromise. Their children learned the lesson of compromise only too well. We have found that compromise is a temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in states- manship. As James Russell Lowell said, Compromise makes a good umbrella but a poor roof. At last these great statesmen offered to the people of the colonies a democratic constitution, asking them to choose this as the Constitution of the United States. They asked the people to support what they truly believed to be an institution of true brilliance which they had brought to be- ing. Throughout this long critical period of ratification, statesmen fought pro and con. but the true American spirit was not to be denied. So in 1790 Rhode Island be- came the last to ratify the Constitution making it the supreme law of the land. Let it not be said that the Constitu- tion of the United States is perfect in every detail. No! It isn't, but as Frank- lin said, I agree with this Constitution with all its faults-if they are such- be- cause I think general government neces- sary for us, and there is no form of gov- ernment but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered. After pointing out the marvelous work of the members of the Constitutional Convention, he stated that when great men are as- sembled together, so are their prejudices. Consequently it astonished him to find the Constitution of the United States so near to perfection as it is. If the Constitution has these faults, it has sufficient excellent traits to counter- balance them. As said before, it estab- lished for these United States a true de- mocracy. What are the true maxims of democracy? A strict observance of jus- tice and public faith, and a steady ad- herence to virtue. These are the princi- ples which John Marshall, the first and greatest chief justice of the United States, declared are the principles of good gov- ernment. I Can we boast that our government is founded on these maxims? Let us see: The Constitution frees the individual in the practice of his religiong frees him in labor also. It enables him to have what- ever he wants, provided only that in his desires he does not interfere with the equal freedom of his fellow. Freedom must not mean selfishness. The people of the United States are very different from the people of America. They are not an inchoate mass of persons on the one side, and a government on the other, but they are an organization of societies of individ- uals, called states, subdivided into smaller societies of individuals, also self-governing, down to a single member of a family. The majority rules, but it can never tyranize, because the majority is made up of num- erous minorities each and all of which have a separate voice in this grand chorus. Some have claimed that the Constitu- tion was an act of sovereign and independ- ent states, not emanating from the people. It would be difficult to sustain this propo- sition. The convention which framed the Constitution was indeed elected by the state legislatures, but the instrument which issued from them was a mere proposal. By means of the convention, Congress, and the state legislatures, the instrument was presented to the people. They acted upon it by State Conventions and accepted it as their law. Consequently from these Con- ventions the Constitution derives its whole authority. If one proposition could command the universal approval of mankind, We might expect it to be this, that the government of the Union, though limited in its pow- ers, is supreme within its sphere of action. This would result from its nature, a gov- ernment of all, its powers are delegated by all, it represents all, and acts for all. The government of the United States, then, though limited in its powers, is su- preme, and its laws, when made in pursu- ance of the Constitution, form the supreme law of the land. And as the government proceeds directly from the people, it is ordained and established, in the name of the people, and is declared ordained, in order to form a more perfect union, estab- lish justice, ensure domestic tranquility and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Consequently the Constitution of the United States, a government of the people, by the people and for the people is the supreme law of the land, and is truly democratic ALFRED B. CENEDELLA, JR. COURTESY. One element of the present era con- spicuous by its absence is common cour- tesy. In the hustle and confusion of the hundreds of little events which crowd each day from rising till bed time, the de- tails of politeness which show a respect for our associates are sadly neglected. One of the most flagrant breaches of courtesy is that of entering a house with- out knocking. What a pleasure it is to be quietly consuming one's morning repast after a late sleep Saturday morning only to be suddenly startled into indigestion by the door bursting open and a stentorian voice bellowing Baker! Surely a per- son is entitled to the privacy of his own dwelling! And then there is the com- mon annoyance of having an intimate and enjoyable conversation suddenly interrupt- ed by some trangressor who, catching the tail end of a remark, snatches it up and rambles on with his private opinion on the subject. We could stand these things though, if it weren't for that peer of nuisances, the telephone. Now the telephone is a useful servant, but when it is placed in the hands of some long-winded tyrant, it is a nuis- ance. Women are by far the worst offend- ers. Mrs. Jones calls up to solicit for a food sale. By the end of an hour and a quarter, she has passed on the latest choice bits of gossip, a new recipe, and a resume on the health of her whole familyg while in the kitchen, the cinders of a well- prepared dinner are smoking away, and on the table the cat is smacking her whisk- ers over the last morsel of a dish of sal- mon. Another common discourtesy is the failure to acknowledge a favor. When a person goes out of his way to perform some little act, the least the recipient can do is to acknowledge it and show his ap- preciation. If an article has been bor- rowed, failure to make an immediate re- turn often inconveniences the owner. To borrow and never return is, I think, the height of ignorance. Need any remark be made criticizing the common practice best referred to as the laying on of hands? What a pleas- ure to be suddenly chilled to the marrow by a pair of cold, clammy hands on the back of the neck. This action is accompanied by the illuminating remark, Aren't my hands coZd? !.. Or hardly less agreeable is a congratulatory remark or salutation accompanied by a lusty whack on the back that temporarily dislocates a few Vertabrae and imparts an unnatural lustre to the eye. However, salvation from these depths of discourtesy is assured if the reader will but remember to have due considera- tion for his fellow-man and learn to ob- serve his own deportment as he would that of any associate. . PHILIP PERKINS, '35. TODAY. From dawn to sunset-the period of time known as Today. It is the most valu- able possession of any person and is owned by everyone. Strangely enough, this priceless treasure is easily overlooked. In our hopes we long for Tomorrow, memory yearns for Yesterday. But we forget we have what is more important than either-Today. There have been great days in his- tory, every event that made each day prominent happened when it was still the world's Today. This day is as good as there has ever been, it is as good as that on which America was discovered, the tele- phone invented, or the automobile made. Nothing is too great to happen if someone only does it. Twenty-four hours may seem drab, ordinary, and uninteresting, but every im- portant day must have seemed so to some- one. The importance of each depends on what we do between its dawn and twilight. The dawn comes swiftly. Take heed to the well-known lines: When you come to the end of the day, And the night takes your worries away Do you ever watch the setting sun: And think of the things you might have done? There are no tomorrows. There is one way to keep Today. To one who lets it slip by, it is lost forever. Whoever builds a day into his life and into the his- tory of the world has it for all time. Today is a jewel-treasurer it! ROBERT RIVARD, '35. A THOUGHT. Did you ever stop to evalute the virt- ues of man? If you did, there is no doubt in my mind of the position you reserved for PATIENCE. It is the thought of some that he who has patience lacks spirit or initiative, that he is patient because he lacks the ability to overcome a difiiculty. But this thought is a foolish one. To be true, there are times when the virtue is a fault and leads some to conceive the idea that the calm individual is an easy mark. But the value of patience is proverbi- ally known. Who hasn't said at one time or another, Everything comes to him who waits '? Very few, I dare say. Not only is patience a valuable asset to the one who shows it, but it also casts a favorable in- fluence on all who come in contact with the possessor. It is a characteristic to be admired and cultivated. MAE CARBONE, '35. THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER WAR. Contrary to the belief of the major- ity of people, there is grave danger of an- other war, a conflict which will be many times worse than the last one. Civiliza- tion has made great advances in the field of scientific machines and compounds which could easily be turned into death- dealing devices. The huge factories manufacturing synthetic ammonia, nitrogen, and other useful peace products could be made al- most over night into buildings making poisonous gases and gunpowder. In addi- tion to these plants there are many fac- tories making electrical and chemical pro- ducts and could, with a few changes, pro- duce guns, cannon, tanks, electrical mines, and other instruments of war. All that is needed to change these plants from pro- ducing peacetime products to those of war- time necessities is a slight spark. This, very likely, is to be supplied from the Orient. Japan has one of the most efficient systems of government ever devised. She has already gained control of a sizable por- tion of China. With all of China under the complete control of Japan, there will be no stopping the yellow race in its de- signs. This country has more natural re- sources than any other. With these re- sources properlv worked and conserved, China can supply herself with the neces- sary materials to carry on a prolonged war of ten years' duration against the whole world. A formidable Japo-China nation would result from the combination of China's natural resources and Japan's or- ganizing and directive ability. Recently a secret plan of Japan was discovered by one of our Secret Service agents. It was made by one of the lead- ing generals of the Japanese Army and gives in detail the future plan of the coun- try against the United States. The Phil- ippines come first and then the less im- portant colonies. This will not be hard to accomplish, as the population of the Phil- ippines is eighty per cent Japanese and Chinese. The American population of these islands is small, as it is in all of the distant American possessions. Thus, with Japan having complete con- trol of all China, we can expect her to start the aggressive act. This act will more than likely be the spark which will fire the whole world into a Universal World War. May God forbid the day! HARRY A. STONE, '35, TRUE FRIENDSHIP. The old adage A friend in need is a friend indeed rings true at all times. Friendship is a real necessity. The love of an intimate acquaintance is the dear- est thing in the world, and no one, rich or poor though he may be, can scorn true friendship. It is a priceless possession. Friends are tested by adverse fortune. There are many of the fair-weather va- riety who walk away at the first sign of rain. A real friend is he who comes in at the time of trouble when the rest of the world goes out. He is like a ray of sun- light shining through the darkness of our misery. He can be counted on for coun- sel, advice, comfort, and consolation. He shares equally in our joys as in our sor- rows. There can be nothing false or Insm- cere in pure friendship. It must be straightforward and come from the hearty it cannot be on the surface. Friendship cannot be one sided, we must return that which we receive. We should share our fortunes and griefs and cause the bands of this mutual understanding to endure for all time by making sacrifices and hav- ing perfect reliance and perfect trust in each other. It is wise, however, to form many new acquaintances. We should seek for company those who have different views on life in order to widen the circle in which we live. Since we are known by the friends we keep, our aim should be to make a careful selection of companions. I recall very pleasantly a line from a Greek poet who said: For Death, he taketh all away, but friends he cannot take. Maybe the cruel monster does take all away, but he cannot separate the sweet memory of friendship, as it will live through Time and Death. ELEANOR GILBERT, '35. THE POPULAR MISCONCEPTION OF A POET. A poet is regarded by many people as possessing a mind which functions quite differently from that of the ordinary masculine member of society, he is con- sidered by some as being almost abnorm- al. They place a questionable value on his poetry, for they think that the finished product is merely a jumble of words as queer as its author. How mistaken they are! When one informs them that poets are born and not made, All the more reas- on why they are so outlandish! they scoff. Yet it must be acknowledged that a poet has a great amount of genius and im- agination. These both are divine gifts. How can a man describe so vividly a bat- tle, a rural or mountain scene, or the beau- ty of the eternal life, unless he has some exclusive power? Tennyson once remarked that a poet was Hdowered with the love of loves and the hate of hates. The poet loves in- tensely, and he hates with equal fervor. He is emotional. The grandeur of nature stirs him to the very depths of his soul, his very existence is one of beauty. Al- though to some his life may appear as dull and uninteresting, the poet has found a means to commune with his Maker. He is unlike him who leads an ordinary exist- ence and seeks only the pleasures and joys of worldly existence. For such a person, this search is vain and fruitless. The joys he finds are short, transient, and deluding because he has not been able, nor has he tried to discern the nobility and beauty of nature. The poet has found a supreme charm in the works of the Creator. This fact beautifies his life, and leaves us with the thought that poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words. A poet is fundamentally philosophical. He has a sympathetic view of human na- ture and an inspired understanding of eternity. He imparts his philosophy to his fellow-men in his poems which become edifying and constructive to temporal and eternal happiness. Their moral lessons, exhortations. and wisdom aid in strength- ening one to meet the trials of life with courage. If we follow their teachings, our salvation will be more within our reach. ROBERT RIVARD, '35. THE POOR RICH. Have you ever heard a man of less than moderate means express his opinion toward one of the wealthy class? If not, let me acquaint you. Sure that guy's rich! Why shouldn't he be? He's a crook, isn't he? We poor fellows work like slaves for him, and he won't even pay us a living wage. Why, he must have cleaned up a million last year. And is he stingy? Why, that leach wouldn't give a nickel to save a dying baby's life. And what gets me sore is that he doesn't do any work himself. All he does is sit in a chair and give a few or- ders, and we poor underpaid workers, etc., etc. This may also be your opinion of the capitalists, but consider the beneficial side of these men. Practically every dollar of their wealth is in circulation, the general public benefits by it, as does the financier. Millions are invested in railroads, gigantic buildings, business, Shipping, and new ventures, without which there could be no progress. The rich man does not endeavor to conceal his money from the public, like the crooked, grafting politician, he does not hoard it like the miser, because he has earned it honestly. With the capital that he has, the money-man attempts to acquire more. This is a natural tendency, and although it appears selfish, one can not be called a thief because he has much and endeavors to gain more. The general public benefits from him. His factories employ hundreds upon thousands of workers, and often furnish the only available means of livelihood. His tenements and apartments shelter many, who, unable to own a home, are able to rent one at a moderate rate. His public utilities' investments furnish electricity, gas, highways, dams, bridges, and parks to sections of the country that would oth- erwise be barren of such. His every busi- ness venture and construction project ne- cessitate the employment of men, and the purchase of building materials and sup- plies. They in turn stimulate employment. The idea that the man who sits be- hind the desk does not work is erroneous. If a factory hand or a foundry worker at- tempted to do the work that the owner of the plant does, he would inevitably land in an asylum for the mentally infirm. At least when a common laborer drops his task, he is through for the day, he can go home and enjoy a good night's sleep. A money-magnate is working mentally day and night. He goes to bed with his wor- ries and troubles and awakens with them in the morning. Income tax, overhead ex- penses, weekly payroll, shortage, last orders, and other equally important mat- ters are constantly weighing on his mind. Of course, there is no doubt that the own- er does little physical labor. But he can'tg he is too occupied otherwise. Speaking of the good that the rich do, I hope I never live to see the day when men such as Rockefeller, Ford, and Morgan turn all their securities into cash money, and stop further industrial enterprise. The whole of the commercial nations would be affected by such an action. Banks would close, the stock exchange would crash, men would be thrown out of work, and a state of chaos and misery would ensue in this nation as well as in others. N. CONIARIS, '35. THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. Lo! the fatal day is here, and I, in a stupor, have just arrived at the scene of my doom. I seat myself on a hard oak bench, and proceed for the next few min- utes to make quite a meal Qmaybe the lastl of my finger-nails. At the end of a few short minutes, a huge door confronts me and opens slowly, with nerve-wracking creakings. A griz- zled old attendant emerges. With a flick of his boney fore-finger, he motions me within. Cautiously but with intent to meet my approaching fate like a man, I enter and step into a huge death-like chamber, at the far end of which stands a mighty chair. It is located on a slight rise and is parti- ally encased by a mass of screens. It is to this chair that I am led by the anti- quated old attendant, who, after assuring himself that I am firmly fixed, withdraws into thin air. After a period of ghastly silence, a hard-faced man steps from behind one oi the numerous screens. Now he surveys me from head to foot and departs as silently as he had arrived. Within a few seconds, he emerges from the mass of screens and drags after him a heavy weird contrap- tion with buttons, levers, slides, and what- not. Satisfying himself that everything is in readiness, and extinguishing all but one of the powerful lights that had been beating down upon me, he steps again be- hind a gauze curtain. It happens all in a split second. A switch is thrown open. It closes. At the same instant, a blinding light iiashes, as if the heavens were open- ing. Within a few seconds I step down from the chair, quaking with horror. I have just withstood the vigorous mental torture that occurs in that para- dise C?J on earth-the photographer's studio. I had nfy picture taken. ALFRED B. CENEDELLA, JR., '35, MY HOBBY. I enjoy nothing better than a good book and a few hours in which to read it. I like to spend my leisure deriving knowl- edge from magazines, newspapers, his- tories, novels, poetry, biographies, and the classics. I am like a man with an insati- able appetite. Anything that pertains to literature is soon devoured, but I still crave more. The profits of my hobby are many. A horde of ideas enters my mind every day. Most of them are good, they help to de- velop my mind. Some of them are ex- cellent, they give me new ideas. A few are soul-stirring, they influence my life. I believe that reading is the finest education obtainable. With good books I have travelled all over the world, I have seen queer people, strange lands, and pe- culiar customs. I have fought great wars, have seen great deeds of heroism, and I have seen mighty leaders rise, and weak kings fall. Empires have been built and shattered before my eyes. People have loved and hated, fought and died, have been carried away by passion and ambition as I watched. In short, I have seen the world in all its phases, and its inhabitants in all their moods. There is but little expense involved in my hobby. Almost every town has its li- brary, in which all types of books are stored. These buildings are open to the public, and the books can be brought home to give delight to the readers. I can truth- fully say that I have travelled the world on the good ship Town Library, my pass- port has been my card, and my expenses were a few fines for overdue books. RICHARD SIEGEL, '35, 1 THE TEMPERAMENTALIST. Do you enjoy the type of person who greets you Monday morning with a grin from ear to ear, a slap on the back, and a narration of the choicest big of news, in order to make you feel that he just could- n't get along without you? Tuesday he slams the door, and either doesn't look at you at all, or scowls and growls in answer to your cheery greeting. How are you go- ing to take this temperamentalist? Just as he comes, 1've found. Pay as little attention to him as he does to you in his Tuesday morning mood. Such a reception usually brings about the best results. See- ing that no one cares whether it's Mon- day or Tuesday, heill Work himself gradu- ally out of his morose state. There are those whose siege lasts for more than a day, sometimes it goes on for weeks. The patient refuses to respond to any treatment. In such a case, all one can do is lie in wait, and observe his ai- tions. He is really a delightful study since you never know what to expect. If one were fore sighted and lucky enough, he might even make money forecasting Wednesday's humor. The fundamental causes for his para- doxical disposition are beyond number. More than likely our subject didn't arrive home this morning until two, and besides that, she hadn't agreed with a single thing he'd said. Perhaps the mailman had dis- appointed him, possibly the neighbor's youngster had yelled all night, or Frolick- ing Florence just wouldn't start. As for the real reason for the pro- longed siege, well, I guess you'll have to ask him. But I'm sure he can't tell you, for he can't tell himself. J EAN SUNDERLAND, '35. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE. As I reclined in a comfortable chair, the song Happy Days are Here Again filled the room. I laid aside the book which I was reading and began to think of those days which I consider pleasant to recall. I realized, of course, that there were many, but not the gloriously happy ones that I had anticipated. In grammar school, the thoughts of Junior High thrilled me.. Then, I was sure happiness would come. But the in- termediate days were soon ended, and my thoughts wandered toward being a Freshman. Year by year, I knew that I would not enjoy supreme contentment until I could be considered a Senior. The mir- age of dances, parties, frocks, and good times thrilled me. Well, I am a Senior, but where are the happy days? Most of them are filled with such expressions as: Report for session at two. Seniors should know bet- ter. Seniors should act dignified. Home- work is piled upon us. Lessons are hard. Teachers are strict, mark more strictly, and exert their discipline most strictly. Yes, there are dances, parties, new frocks, good times. But these take up only a little spare time g they are secondary to homework and classwork, which must be foremost in our minds. But, rousing myself from my reverie, I shut off the radio, and decided to con- centrate on Burke's Conciliation Speech. remembering that the next day was set for examinations, and that I must strive for a dignified grade. MALVINA TUsoN1, '35, ON DIETING. According to Webster, dieting is the taking of food and drink by rule. Oh, what a life! A nice sour grape- fruit for breakfast! At luncheon a ban- ana and some lettuce! If a madame or mademoiselle continues with this plan, maybe she will be able to have a piece of hard bread with her dinner. But then, think of the result! She'll either look like Venus or end up in the hospital. Dieting strengthens one's character by making her strong-willed in resisting all sweets. But there is always someone to tell her how delicious is everything that she can't eat. If, by any chance, she for- gets and takes a piece of candy, someone is there to remind her of the diet. To make matters worse, she has to thank Polly Anna for helping her keep up the torture. Why doesn't somebody concoct a diet whereby a person can lose weight by eat- ing less carrots, spinach, or some other dis- agreeable vegetable? Then, just as we be- come accustomed to eating a meal without any desert, fashions suggest a Mae West figure. A Why, oh why, won't America adopt the European custom and consider as good looking and eligible the maiden who is pleasingly plump? SYLVIA WERBER, '35, EXPERIENCES OF A MOVIE GOER. Isn't it always the Way? You who have come early in order to make a good selection of seats have to get up a half dozen times to let someone in who has just arrived. Would you mind moving in one seat, please? Of course you wouldn't,- just when you had decided you didn't want to sit in back of that tall, broad-shouldered man. A few more pass in front of you, and a couple in back gives your hat, which you've so carefully put on at just the right angle, a push down over your eyes. After you've missed most of the news- reel, everyone seems to be seated. But who is crackling peanut shells, and who is chewing gum? And why, oh why, must candy come wrapped in cellophane? Amidst this crackle, snap, and rattle you get a few words of the Travel Talk. At last the main feature's on-if only those people will keep quiet now! But it's your fortune-or rather, misfortune- to have someone beside you who has seen the picture and was so thrilled that she just had to see it again. She continues to nudge you and tell you what's coming next. Oh well, the show's over. MILDRED KUNZ, '35. BACK-SEAT DRIVING. It really is pathetic that some genius has not invented a fixed wheel in the back of a car for that poor husband who has to endure back seat advice. Then, perhaps, the wife could give vent to her emotions by twisting and turning her own wheel. I was a party to the crime one day and heard the following: Oh, Horace, do be careful!-Watch out!-There, now you've gone and done it. Didn't you see that red light? Stupid, of course you didn't3 I should have known better than to ask you. Keep quiet! Listen here, Horace !-Oh mercy, don't pass a car on the hill. Oh my,-I believe.-yes, it is a policeman. What did I tell you, Horace, where are you going to get the money to pay the fine? Oh dear, it isn't a policeman after all. Now mind, Horace, let that be a les- son to you. Horace! ! Face front! Watch out! You just missed that man's head.- Oh, do slow down! Slow down! We're coming to a center. How fast did you say Twenty-five? Don't you were going? you dare go more than fifteen, or you'll answer to me. Oh do hurry, hurry-don't let that car pass you, stupid, and a lady of all drivers! Horace? Why are you stop- ping on the tracks? Oh, the train! We'll be killed and-Oh, Oh! And the papers printed the following notice the next day: Horace Jones and his wife Mary were killed by the Twentieth Century yesterday. MAE CARBONE, '35. BOOK CHARACTERS I WOULD AND WOULD NOT LIKE TO MEET. There are friends in flesh and in ink. But sometimes I am inclined to believe that those passive characters whom we know as existing within the covers of a book are more distasteful than the ones with whom we consort daily. Of course there are many whom we consider ideal, and some whom we admire and love. Take Lady Macbeth as an example, I certainly would not like to meet her. Why? Because I fear that as she looked at me, she would be planning my murder, if she would be helped to have me out of the way. No, thank you, I wouldn't enjoy undergo- ing such an ordeal. Now consider Silas Marner. Don't you think that he's a cour- ageous old man? Certainly you do! I admire the courage he had, for with the help of a small child he redeemed his mis- take and once more walked and talked with his fellow-men, whose respect he re- gained. Personally I give three cheers for him. Let us think of Dickens' characters. As for Madame De Farge, I believe she'd drive me insane with that blank expres- sion on her face. I never liked knitting either. If I questioned her in any way, I know she would answer with nothing but a sly look. Heaven only knows what she'd be thinking about. Why fooling with her would be like playing with a snake, I should never know when she would strike me. I decline the pleasure of meeting the madame. Jerry Cruncher and I would not get along. I feel sure that he would cause me to forget my etiquette and to laugh at his comical appearance-especially at his hair standing up like spikes. Just imag- ine digging up bodies in the cemetery in the middle of the night! ! I shiver to think of it-Brrrr! I Sidney Carton! Doesn't his name bring to your mind, as it does to mine, a man who must be pit- ied? He was a man who, if he so desired, could rise to the heights of success, but who lacked initiative. Still in the end his good points outshone his bad ones and to save his friend's life, he courageously gave up his own. I confess, I shed a few tears for him. I admire and respect Shakespeare's Portia, that haughty, obedient daughter, who calmly accepted the terms of her father's unfair will. She, by chance, might have been married to a man whom she did not love. But good-fortune smiled on her and caused Bassanio to choose the right casket and win her hand in mar- riage. Shakespeare also made Portia a clever heroine. Although you may be surprised to learn so, I should not like to number Elaine among my friends. Let me tell you Why. Probably I should become envious of her beauty, but I am sure that I would be exasperated at the thought of her pining away for a man who didn't return her love. Where was her courage to carry on? She had her father and brothers to live for and could fill their life with some measure of happiness. She just thought of herself. I shall not continue, for I think I have smiled on George Elliot and in turn have probably oiended Dickens, and Ten- nyson too greatly as matters now stand. ANNETTE E. LANCIA, 'I-35. ON PRODUCING A JOURNAL. The material for the book is finished, one last day of diligent labor has resulted in the completion of all our copy, and all is ready for the printer on Monday. My varied and interesting duties as editor are concluded, and as a result I find myself in a very strange moodfone of satisfac- tion mingled with regret, of relief coupled with a reluctance to relinquish my duties. Thus I find myself inspired to write-to create one last article which may be in- cluded in the book and afford me many pleasurable reminiscences, when I peruse it in the future, of this particular phase of my school career. In casting about for my theme I am impelled to sketch a brief resume of the various steps which have finally led to the completion of this chronicle-our year book. I recollect the furor of interest throughout the school which greeted the appointment of the staff in November, and the thrill of finding myself a member of that staff. We were informed that our duties would commence almost immediate- ly. From then on, the book was an ever- existent topic of discussion. Enthusias- tic plans were laidg fantastic features were proposed-and rejected. And yet, from this early enthusiasm and collabora- tion resulted the first seeds of the enter- prise. The primary object was to prepare a dummy g that is, a note-book in which were planned the contents of the book, page by page. New inspiration and ideas resulted in numerous changes and addi- tions, until finally we had completed a working outline. It had been decided right from the first that the motif was to be along mod- ernistic lines, in other words, we aspired to have our theme strike a modern note- be fittingly expressive of the era in which we live. With this outline near perfection, the many details of its execution were assigned to committee members. The co-operation and conscientious- ness with which these duties were carried to a successful completion inspired us all to deeper effort. The import of Elbert Hubbard's immortal, A Message to Garcia is brought vividly to my mind at the mo- ment, and I can not repress the impulse to digress-the reader's kind indulgence permitting-on the topic. The incident concerns a common soldier who is assigned a message to be delivered to his general, Garcia. Overcoming frightful odds in de- fiance even, of all the elements of advers- ity-he carried the message to Garcia, alone, without praise and adulation, every moment in risk of his life. Hubbard elab- orates his theme and points out the scarcity of people who can bear their message to Garcia -assume responsibili- ties and carry out difficult and irksome ob- ligations in spite of all opposition. The true import, as I said, was vivid- ly impressed on my mind as I observed the strict and conscientious manner in which many of the committee adhered to his duties until completion, in other words, bore his message to Garcia! But perhaps I have gone too far astray from my theme. To continue, we soon had collected all our copy, and the duties of the editorial board then consisted of sorting the deluge of written copy and selecting that which was to make up the material for our book. It then fell the task of the typing di- vision to prepare the written copy in care- fully and neatly typed form for final ac- ceptance. When this material was ac- cepted, it was placed on file as completed copy. Meanwhile the photo editors had dili- gently waged their campaign. Photo- graphic appointments were made, and a strict schedule was adhered to for the photographing of individuals, clubs, offi- cers, and the various other objects which were essential. These photographs then had to be sent to our engraver, where they were converted into engravings and cuts, in order that they might be reproduced in printing on the pages of our book. The art division, in collaboration with the photo editors, was kept busy producing the various pictorial items, such as illus- trations, lettering, etc. Now all copy was completed, and we proceded to arrange it in forms, or sec- tions of sixteen pages, just as it was to appear in the book. Each section was care- fully formulated and placed in its respec- tive folder. At last all was ready for our printer, a dynamic and co-operative individual, who, when unduly perturbed, evinced a rather extraordinary inclination toward unique and colorful expletives. The printing of the book was, to me, of intriguing interest. I was introduced to a seeming maze of strange machinery, into the maws of which was fed our copy -and from whose cadaverous and myster- ious mechanical depths emerged our com- pleted pages. And never will I forget the tremend- ous thrill-a glowing feeling of exultation -that swept over me as I viewed those wonderful pagesg so trim and fresh, the crisp, neat paging, so clean-cut, the bold, contrasting black of the printed copy! As though an animate thing, the book-pro- geny of our own individual origination and effort-began to grow with fascinating rapidity. As the material emerged from the press on long sample strips called galleys it had to be carefully proof-read to elimin- ate errors and assure the perfection of the finished article. As afore-mentioned, the material was set up in forms, each of sixteen pages, the completed book con- taining nine such sections. At last the final page was completed. The next step was to send the completed pages to the binder. Here the forms were carefully sewed together and placed within their trim black and silver leather covers. Our book was then finished-a very real and material thing, rather than a dimly conceived, abstract creation of the imag- ination. Words fail me as I try to set down in black and white the boundless thrill of exultation which surged to my very finger tips, as I turned for the first time the pages of our finished book! To see and feel the completed work, which had lived with us in its embryo state during the greater part of the year, which, indeed, had governed many of our activities and diligent efforts. It now remained but to dedicate this chronicle formally, and almost before we realized it, the night of dedication arrived, it was fittingly presented to the deserving dedicatee, Mr. Moran, and whose capable guidance and diligent personal efforts had served to nourish its growth. And so ended our laborious, yet never- to-be-forgotten enterprise. I am sure I have complained, at times, of having been pressed for time on other dutiesg yet, I would not have missed this invaluable and fascinating experience for a king's ransom. So here's wishing the best of luck, and the sincere best wishes of our com- mittee, to next year's editorial board. Congratulations on your appointments to the committee, and may your undertaking be even more of a success than our own! J. PHILIP PERKINS, '35. SNOW BOUND-A MONOLOGUE. The following account is the result of a conversation between myself and me as we awaited the snow-train bound for Craw- ford Notch. Well, well, I don't believe I have ever seen so many faces so early in the morn- ing. The station is just crowded with people attired in ski-suits of very bright shades. Everywhere one looks, he sees skis, snowshoes, sleds, skates, and tobog- gans. It is now seven A. M. with a half an hour left before the train will leave for Crawford Notch. It seems as if the people will never cease to come into the station. A crowd of young fellows bound through the doors and cause a great deal of commotion. Now three corpulant middle-aged women wear- ing ski-suits hurry through the doorsg they try to balance their snowshoes on one shoulder and open the door with the other. A group of giggling, self-conscious, young girls arrive. They hurry off into a seclud- ed corner. Ah! Here comes an expert skier! One can tell by the way in which he carries his skies and by the simple, plain ski-clothes he wears. He doesn't stand about wondering what he should do next. He goes right to the ticket office. The other people seem to realize now that they must purchase their tickets and every- one rushes, at once, so that a long line is formed in front of the ticket-office. It is almost seven-thirty. Little by little the crowd makes its way out into the cold, fresh, morning air. Toot, Toot! here comes the train. What a scramble ensues! Amid shouts, cries and laughter everyone makes his way to the platform. What a pleasurable ordeal is experienced in boarding the train. The conductors wish to help, but no one needs any assistance except when one of his skis bounces back and he nearly falls trying to catch it. I do declare! Everyone is trying to get through the same door at the same time. At last, the party is aboard but- lack-a-day-what's to be done with all the skis, snowshoes, sleds, skates, and tobog- gans that have been brought? I don't know and dare not venture to say. Guess for yourself! The conductor has shouted, 'All aboard?' They're off. And so am I! BETTY LIBBEY, '36, IS EDUCATION WORTHWHILE? Those who to knowledge and culture are foes, As older each gets, the more foolish he grows. The Talmud. In this age of advancement and op- portunity, he who has little or no educa- tion is in a maze. The necessity of mental preparedness for all who wish to be suc- cessful in any line of endeavor is very obvious. To be true, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, and Henry Ford reached their goals without formal school train- ing. But their strong will, ambition, and superior minds are not possessed by all. Most of us not only realize but agree today that education is an indispensable factor for success. Without it, one must devote himself to a somewhat colorless routine. He is shut out completely from the professions, and the difficulty of ris- ing above his circumstances is overwhelm- ing. Education does more, however, than to prepare us for a bettter vocation. It gives a world-wide range to our interests, affords us with better reasoning, increases our mental freedom, and leaves us with a deeper understanding of nature and her workings. An educated man is so en- dowed that he appreciates life for the values it offers in art, good literature, music, and science. Education is to man today what the machine is to lndustry. SARA PRESSMAN, '36. TO MOM'N DAD. There are some pals who're true to me, Two friends I've always had. I used to climb upon their kneeg You see, they're Mom'n Dad. What 'ere they do, I 'preciate, And when I make them mad, My inner self I truly hate To think live acted bad. I've often wished to tell them so, That when I'm like a cad, I know the years will make me grow, And cause them to be glad. And now with age and wisdom here, My misdeeds make me sad. My heart grows fond and ever dear, I truly love my Mom'n Dad. A. B. CENEDELLA, JR., '35. GENIUS OVERLOOKED. There is one person who to my mind is the most unappreciated individual in modern entertainment. He shares none of the crooner's fame. Neither is his pic- ture side by side with some popular orches- tra leader, nor at the Ritz with a movie star. His autograph is never sought by girls both near or far. Despite his lack of publicity he is re- sponsible for the success of almost every program. Imagine a jungle drama with- out the roar of beasts, or a thrilling mur- der mystery Without the fatal shot, or in- deed, a storm without rain and thunder! The sound-effects man leads an unre- warded life. He is so essential, yet so obscure. LOUISE MOREY, '36. AN EXPLANATION.

Blaine Libbey Vice-President: Jean Sunderland Secretary: Kayonoush Ohanian Treasurer: Donald Mann A splendid spirit of interest possessed the Carrick Club this year and enabled it to attempt new ventures. Hardly had the club organized, when plans were made to attend a performance of Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, presented by the Caravan Repertory Players at the Copley Theatre, Boston. Forty members of the club enjoyed the performance and a tour behind the footlights. On April sixth, for the first time, the Garrick Club joined in Drama Day for Massachusetts High Schools by present- ing Wayside War at Huntington Chambers Hall, Boston. Ten other schools appea-red in this festival, and the Garrick Club's of- fering received many favorable comments. A medal Was presented by Emerson Col- lege of Oratory for the best individual acting in each cast. Jean Sunderland, in the role of Alicia Pemberton, Won this award. The Garrick Club sanctions the purpose of these drama days which is to develop a keener interest in the exchange of ideas about the producing of plays in high schools, to encourage a getting to- gether to see what others are doing, and to get an inspiration by seeing fine plays excellently produced. For its annual program the club pro- duced Romance is a Racket, a farce-comedy in one act by John Kirkpatrick, Where the Cross is Made, a tragedy of the sea, by Eugene O'Neill, and Wayside War, a sev- enteenth century comedy by Margaret Napier.

The school orchestra, a concert en- semble of thirty-one pieces, has complet- ed its second successful season under the capable direction of Mr. Ben C. Lancisi, '23, noted local musician. The ensemble has been a feature of school activities for several years, but it was not until the inauguration of a series of annual concerts three years ago that it won recognition for its excellence. This year an exceptionally fine concert was presented at Town Hall by the orches- tra in conjunction with the Milford Boys' and the Junior High Band. Features of the program were an overture, Urbana, Operatic Gems, and an ingenious Theme Song Medley. A violin solo, Czardas, was rendered by Florence Smith, '35. The Rosary was pre- sented as a trombone solo by Valentino Candela, '36. Musical organizations are becoming in- creasingly popular. The orchestra expects to continue to progress from year to year, and maintain an even higher standard of excellence than it has previously held.

The object of the or- ganization is to afford the members the opportunity of obtaining a better under- standing of elementary science. The club has held interesting meet- ings, at which talks on various scientific subjects have been presented by members. Some of the discussions concerned the Stratosphere, Balloon Construction, Under- water Exploration, Marine Zoology, Arch- aeology, Science's Battle with Crime, Boulder Dam, Glass, Air Mapping, and Modern House Construction. The lives of some famous scientists have also been presented at meetings. Mr. Whitcomb, of the Whitcomb Travel Bureau, Boston, visited the club and presented an illustrated talk on air travel. His visit afforded the members one of their most interesting meetings. A trip was made last year to Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and this year, members visited Massachusetts Institute of Technology. One aim of the club was to make several trips, but due to such an increase in mem- bership, transportation became a problem. The first social activity of the year was a party given by Mr. Metcalf during Christmas Week. The second party, was held in June, and marked the conclusion of the C1ub's activities.

Twenty-two members, who were especially interested in French language and culture, comprised the group. Meetings were held every Friday, when the members of the club sang French songs or recited French poems. Miss Pianca also gave interesting talks on her travels through France. In April the Club attended une soiree at Boston University, College of Liberal Arts, Where a French play was presented by students of the college. After the visit, the members attended the Metropolitan Theatre. The annual picnic was held in June. We Wish at this time to thank Miss Pianca for her interest in the Club.

In addition to the usual instruction, the meetings have been made more inter- esting by discussions on the literature, his- tory, and customs of Der Vaterland. A deeper appreciation of the language has resulted. Some members have corresponded With students in Schonlanke, Germany. The letters received were Written partly in German and in English. They were read at the meetings. This informal cor- respondence has given the students a keener insight into the values of the lan- guage. On two different occasions, die Klasse has observed the birthdays of our German correspondents by sending small gifts in acknowledgment of the Geburts- tag. The Club's activities were concluded when the group attended a German pic- ture in the Fine Arts Theatre of Boston. Our instructor arranged a delightful pic- nic for the club in June.

Meetings were held every two weeks on Tuesdays, during the extra period. Throughout the year, various in- structive and enjoyable programs were pre- sented by the club members. Several de- bates were also presented before large audiences of members and friends. A Valentine Social was held on Feb- ruary 15, 1935 after the presentation of a debate concerning Chain Stores, and a play entitled Six American Beauties . At the present Writing the club is busy with preparations for a program of recitations to be given before the end of the school year. The members of the club have been most enthusiastic and have profited by their activities. We are very grateful for the assistance and efforts of our director, Miss Inez E.

Swift, Supervisor of Music. This was the first club of its nature to be organized in the school. Its membership comprised the students of the Theory and Harmony Class, which met on Monday and Wednesday mornings of each week. In addition to the class-room instruction, meetings were held every Friday afternoon when the lives and works of famous musical com- posers were studied and reviewed. The primary motive of the organiza- tion was to stimulate appreciation in music, to gain the necessary preparation for the knowledge of scales and scale struc- ture, keys and key signatures, use of chromatic characters, notation, and note values, to develop a working vocabulary of chords and the ability to construct har- monic progressions in a melodic, musical manner. The social activities of the club be- gan when the members were guests on March 14 at Miss Swift's home. On April 1, Mr. Alexander DiGiannantonio, a local musician, entertained the club and played familiar excerpts and arias from La Travvjata. The group journeyed to the Boston Opera House on April 2, where it heard La Traviata as presented by the Metropolitan Opera Company. This per- formance was preceded by a dinner at the Copley Plaza. We wish at this time to thank Miss Swift for her interest and efforts in our behalf. ROBERT J. RIVARD, President. MISCELLANEOUS HOW TO BE A BORE. The annual public meeting of the B. O. R. E. Club always promises to be in- teresting. Various subjects dealing with the mental weariness produced by monot- ony or by lack of interest in life are dis- cussed. The session about which I am privileged to write concerns itself with the making of a bore. Several essentials are noted. The first deals with general appearance. We are told to assume a weary, worldly-wise expression and to hold the head up but with an uninterested tilt that is sure to produce the proper effect. This expression can be assisted greatly by the eyebrows and eyes. An arched brow usually denotes indifference and with the assistance of half-closed eyes strikes the proper note, The latter attitude is not very difficult to assume. Simply imagine a pain in the stom- ach or the head fit is of no consequence which you preferl. You will notice the excellent results. Now, draw down the corners of the mouth, not enough to look Garboical, but cynical. Although the hair is not of especial importance, it would be advisable to draw it loosely in back of the ears. A slow, unconcerned walk is most essential, as it shows lack of interest. The conversation of a bore is of the utmost importance, because the voice por- trays true feelings. You must never be- come excited or enthusiastic if you do not wish to spoil everything. All your work shall then be in vain. Be as vague and dull as possible. Don't hesitate to inter- rupt and ask her if she did not consider subject. If Mrs. Jones is enthusiastically narrating baby John's new prank, inter- rupt and ask her if she did not consider the food at last night's banquet very taste- less and ordinary. If John Lawyer is talk- ing about his one great case, describe your new hat. This will affect him, if nothing else will, and you thereby add another name to your long list of victims. Appear careless though well-dressed and always remember your two great essentials: be slow and indifferent. Bearing this great lesson in mind, we wish you a most successful and happy voyage on the sea of human accomplish- ment and hope that many will succumb, de- jected and breathless, at your feet, KAYONOUSH OHANIAN, '35.

With the football team facing one of the hardest schedules yet to be given to a Milford High team, Coach Frederick Steeves issued a call for candidates about two weeks before the opening of the fall term. On account of the confiicting condi- tions facing us on the Town Park field, Coach Steeves decided to drill his candi- dates on the grassy field of upper Con- gress Street. At the Congress Street Ath- letic Field about seventy-five charges an- swered to the call. Among these were found very few veteransg practically a new team was necessary. By having the practice sessions on the out-skirts of the town, the boys were given a chance to limber up before and after practice. Nevertheless after many days of conscientious practicing, the team was ready to face its first opponent under the leadership of Captain Marcus. October 8-Milford at Clinton. Milford traveled to Clinton to start the season off with a flying start by bring- ing home a 20 to 6 victory over a much heavier and more experienced team. Ghiringhelli, Milford's most outstanding star of the game, contributed two of our touchdowns, with Marcus scoring the oth- er on a pass from Bonetti. October 12-Milford at Marlboro. With but little time to prepare for another contest, the confident: Milford team scored its second victory through the gallant efforts of Ghiringhelli and Sabati- nelli by a score of 2 to 0. Although out- played and losing the services of our cap- tain because of an injured ankle, Milford's efforts were not fruitless. October 20-Natick at Milford. Trying to stretch her victories to three straight, Milford suffered her first defeat by a score of 6 to 0. In this game she met a powerful Natick eleven and was dazzled by her opponent's efiicient back- field. But with the ever-fighting Bonetti playing a matchless game at halfback, Milford staged a brave fight. October 27-Milford at Brockton. Like Napoleon, Milford met her Water- loo when she tried to withstand the killing stampede of the heavy and powerful Brock- ton team. At the end of this game she found herself trailing by a score of 52 to 0. This was, without a doubt, the busiest day for the managers during the whole season. November 3-Milford at Norwood. We traveled to Norwood where we were defeated 20 to 12. Nevertheless, a very interesting contest resulted. During this encounter Coach Steeves discovered a new star in Barberi, who, with the guid- ance of Bonetti, gave much color to the game. When the diminutive substitute raced to his position, a low chuckle ran through the fans, but soon this was changed to applause for the young half- back. He figured in the scoring of both touchdowns with his surprising skill in passing and charging. November 12-Milford at Framing- ham. Again a confident Milford team went to Framingham only to be set back by a score of 20 to 0. Although outplayed dur- ing the first half, Milford came back in the second to display extraordinary football, but not quite powerful enough to charge through our host's line. November 19-Attleboro at Milford. With the team hungry for a victory after four straight defeats, Milford was determined to give the highly-noted Attle- boro team a fight.. When the final whistle blew, the score was 7 to 7. Although the gamenended in a tie, it was a moral vic- tory. Our lone touchdown was accounted for by Marcus on a pass from Bonetti. November 30-Milford at Walpole. After having been the underdogs in several contests, we finally decided to show our followers that we still had some fight left in us. Playing her best game of the season, Milford completely outplayed a strong Walpole team to win by a score of 33 to 14. In this encounter every member of the squad was given a chance to show his stuff , but all the touchdowns were made by the regulars who were playing their last game for Milford High. These were scored by Bonetti, Marcus, Ghirin- gheli, Doyle and Roberti. Although he had been the backbone of the team throughout the season, Bonetti scored his sole touchdown of the season. During the 1934 football season the squad consisted of the following members: A. Calagione, A. Cenedella, A. Bonetti, W. Burns, L. Butterfield, J. Doyle, F. Ghirin- ghelli, H. Marcus, E. Roberti, A. Sabatin- elli, S. Samaris, R. Siegel, C. Barberi, P. Borelli, J. Constantino, F. Cugini, Alex. Ferrario, G. Harlow, J. Murray, H. Peter- son, E. Pinardi, L. Speroni, H. Anderson, F. Andreotti, J. Calagione, A. Ferrario, R. Macchi, A. Neckes, T. Santoro, W. Werber, and the managers, P. Rizoli, J. Grillo, A. Compagnone, G. Kizer, and L. Lamora. PRIMO RIZOLI, '35, Manager. DUTCHLAND FARMS. An uneasy atmosphere prevaded the school on a certain Monday morning. It was the next school session after the Mil- ford-Brockton tilt. A notice was received that all boys Cand later the girlsj who had gone to the game on Saturday were to pre- sent themselves in Room 6 immediately. Soon all those who had made the trip learned that the act which they had done so innocently was causing a few gray hairs on the head of our principal. Mr. Berry, it seems, had received a telephone call from Brockton and was in- formed that the Milford fans had taken practically every movable thing from the Dutchland Farms store in that territory. After a short discussion the light-fingered Milfordians were instructed to return to the school that afternoon all goods which had been appropriated. If the material were not returned, the culprits would suf- fer the consequences. When the would-be-souvenir-collectors assembled, and all valuables were account- ed for, the top of the desk in the Assembly Hall looked like a miniature Dutchland Farms Store. Another talk was then given, and the Norwood Bus was canceled by Mr. Berry. Later a short but penetrat- ing course in etiquette was intoned by Mr. Caswell for the benefit of the cheer- leaders, who, it seemed, should have fore- seen the episode and prevented it. However, this episode taught our loyal rooters to play only with the high schools and not with the other departments of our opponents. Although the ardor of the remem- brance seekers was considerably dampen- ed, they acknowledged their mistake, and asserted that it was not committed in a pre-meditated manner. The offenders were brought to realize that the thought- less deed of the individual often brings about the implication of the entire group, thus a vivid lesson was brought home to all who unanimously resolved that never again should the reputation of the school be so jeopardized. D. M., '35. FOOTBALL BANQUET. On December 8, 1934, the Football Squad was invited by Principal Frank C. Berry to attend a full course turkey sup- per in the Stacy School. The members of the School Committee were also invited and participated in a pleasant evening. The supper was prepared through the kindness of Mrs. Frank C. Berry, Mrs. Alfred B. Cenedella, Mrs. Frederick E. Steeves, Mrs. George F. Grayson, and Mrs. Francis H. Lally. The cheerleaders, Eva Piteo, Ann Harrington, Florence Cenedella, Barbara Power, and Eva Con- soletti served. Following the banquet, dancing and entertainment were enjoyed by the squad and guests. In the course of the evening, each letterman of the squad received his sweater and coveted HM . Later, gifts were presented to Eva Piteo, director of the cheerleaders, to Mr. Berry, and to Coach Steeves. D. M., '35, 110.999 FRED E.

MILFORD H. S. BAGS MIDLAND LEAGUE PENNANT, DEFEATIN6 HUDSON BY 5-ll - Anderson Gives Visitors Six l-lits In Close Game Won ' ln the Seventh-Fans Last Three Batters In Ninth-Bonetti Leads the Local I-litters , With the kind permission of Jake Broudy, the following excerpt from the Milford Daily News follows: June 15, 1935:-The rejuvenated Milford High club continued its display of dash and dander on Town park yester- day afternoon by capturing the Midland League pennant with a stylish 5-4 victory over Hudson, the pre-season favorites to capture the Hag. It was Mi1ford's first year of league competition in half a decade and the Steevedores showed their appre- ciation of the invitation to return by ap- propriating the pennant. Harry Anderson, although troubled by occasional wildness, that aided in three of the Hudson runs, pitched a smart game to tame the Hudson ace, Bill McNally, who was tapped for 12 safeties by the Milford stickers. The game was on the block for the highest bidder right up to the seventh inning when Milford made a two run bid that Hudson could not top. The enemy succeeded in raising the ante by one in the eighth, but the score remained at 5-4 when Anderson showed some real fireworks in the ninth to fan the three top hitters on the list and end the game. Neither side could hit the cash regis- ter until the fourth, when Hudson sent a pair over on two walks and McNally's single. The locals came right back in their half to even the count. Bonetti slapped himself the first of a pair of doubles and Speroni singled him across, Sperry stole second, took third on an infield out and tallied on Murray's loft to right. Brewer's walk and Richardson's single added one in Hudson's fifth, but Milford met the challenge to liberty with a run of its own, manufactured from Anderson's walk, a wild throw by Cesario and Parenti's single. In the seventh the Steevedores bagged the verdict with two runs. Anderson contributed a single but was forced by Tusoni, who took second on a passed ball. Parenti singled him home and was driven in by Bonetti's double. Hudson added one in the eighth as Maderio's hit went through Tusoni for a circuit, but the attack fell short of victory. Bonetti, Parenti and Murray hit hard for Milford. Bonetti leading the pack with two doubles and a single.

PROGRESS OF TENNIS. Tennis needs no introduction. It is played in nearly every nation in the worldg in the United States alone the followers of this sport are numbered in the millions. However the court surface in different countries varies, but there is now a move- ment being made by the International Lawn Tennis Association to decide upon and adopt a standard surface. Tennis, like all other activities, has undergone periods of development and progress. The standard of play has been brought about through the influence of several outstanding stars, such as: Mc- Loughlin, Williams, Johnston, Tilden, Cochet, and Lacoste. From its inception, up to about 1900, its was essentially a back court game. The pace was that of an average sound shot. Because of its slow pace, the game was considered by the youth of America as an old man's sport. Any shot hit near the service line was called a poor one, and a player who con- tinually hit a short ball was ridiculed. Every rising young star was instructed to hit the ball deep to the baseline. The greatest stars of this age, from Sears, Smith, and Whitman down to William Larned were essentially baseline drivers. The early part of the twentieth cent- ury, however, brought the exploration of the possibilities of the net attack by such stars as: Norman Brookes, the Wrenn brothers and Beals Wright. During this period there came a player who introduced a revolutionizing movement. I refer to Maurice McLoughlin, the comet from California. He had a terrific drive, knew little about the classical tennis, and had the idea that if he could reach the net and hit the ball hard that he would win. This was the first definite step in the progress of this favorite sport. Under the Mc- Loughlin influence, ground strokes were forgotten in a barrage of service, overhead, and volley. Speed was the dominating factor. The McLoughlin era produced such stars as: Robert Murray and Willis Davis. Then came the second step in the per- fection of the standard of play. The net attack and the baseline game were blended. This was the era of the infiuence of Norris Williams and William Johnston, who is remembered for his great top-spin fore- hand. Both of these men had great net attacks, but they were, in short, baseline drivers. Still, Williams provided tennis with a great step forward. It was he who introduced the answer to service power by taking the ball on the rise. Thus ended the lop-sided game. Under the Johnston and Williams iniiuence, the all court game in which the net attack and the baseline game are blended came to be the goal of every young rising star. The last definite step to date in the progress of this sport was made by Cochet and Lacoste, who brought the answer to speed in stonewall steadiness. The French have given the world what is today the highest form of tennis expression, it is now a defensive game with an offensive mental attitude always looking for the opportunity to go into the attack. No article on the progress of tennis would be complete without mentioning that great player, William T. Tilden. Dur- ing the interlude between the end of the McLoughlin reign and the rise of the Johnston and Williams influences, Tilden formed his game. No other player, I be- lieve, has ever gained the complete mastery of every shot as he did. Although some have surpassed him in certain strokes, no one has attained equal mastery in all branches of the sport. Tilden added one more step to the progress of tennis, name- ly, the all-court game, plus varied speeds and spins. In every country of the world where tennis is played, the name of Tilden is synonymous with tennis. He has great- ly stimulated public interest in the ball and racquet by forming the Professional Tennis Tour. Today Tilden stands as a living example of a great game for young and old. CHARLES ABRAHAMSON, '35. Capt. Abrahamson, Mann, Marcus, Vernon rotta, Bullard, T Higgistou 3 Coach TENNIS NOTES. A new sport was inaugurated at Mil- ford High this spring with the organiza- tion of the first tennis team to represent the school. With the approval of Princi- pal Frank C. Berry, candidates were called by Mgr. James Higgiston of the school faculty, who has acted as coach of the sport. There were about a dozen net players to respond, and among them enough material was found to form a fair team. However, the group was faced with handicaps from the start. As usual the spring months received their share of rain. As a result there were no courts for the players to practice on, and hindered the team in preparing for its first tilt. These unfavorable conditions made it necessary for the squad to play and prac- tice the entire first half of its schedule out of town. All practice sessions were held at the Bullard Memorial Farm in Hollis- ton with transportation provided through the courtesy of Coach Higgiston and mem- bers of the squad. In Captain Abrahamson, the Milford High tennis team has one of the best racquet Wielders in this section. Charlie, as he is known to his classmates, has sailed through the first half of the season un- defeated. His fast and accurate playing has been most outstanding and is looked upon by tennis experts as having great possibilities. The team this year had a schedule of eight matches, four of which have been played. The outcome so far is two vic- tories and two defeats, by no means a poor showing for an inexperienced club. Tennis is fast becoming popular in Milford and the sport is looked on favorably by the majority of sport lovers. The squad included: Captain Charles Abrahamson, Donald Mann, Harvey Marcus, Nicholas Trotta, Freeman Bullard, Robert Vernon, and Blaine Libbey. DONALD MANN. A VERY ENJOYABLE TRIP. Upon learning that I was to be given a week's vacation from the office, I deter- mined to take a boat trip with a group of friends. Early the next night on my way to catch the boat, I passed by the Boule- vard of Broken Dreams, and saw Two Cigarettes in the Dark. Continuing down 42nd Street I saw a train which was about to Shuffle C off to Buffalo. Diana, who was to be my companion on the trip, met me at the dock. We went aboard the Good Ship Lolly Pop, but during the boat ride, we had Stormy Weather. In a few days we landed at the Isle of Capri, and went to our lodging at the Old Water Mill. At sunset we enjoyed a stroll down Flirtation Walk, and on our way home saw The Moon Come Over the Mountain. Next morning we tried Throwing Stones at the Sun, but sud- denly a gypsy came upon us and Emma- line said, Play to me, Gypsy. Upon entering the house to get some Frosted Chocolate, I saw Shadows on the Wall. To my surprise it was Made- moiselle and Dr. Jekel and Mr. Hyde discussing an Old Love Affair. The next night we went On a Steam- er Coming Over to start our return trip. After getting on the boat, I took a walk on deck and saw that A New Moon was Over My Shoulder. In a few days we landed in New York, and I said, Good Night, Lovely Little Lady to my compan- ion. I then sauntered up to my apartment In a Blue and Pensive Mood.

Sometimes I am covered with white dots, other times black, and even green. I could tell many tales, be- cause I'm almost completely covered with finger prints. Sometimes I work harder and faster than others. I'm in schools, offices, and in a few private homes. I've several sisters and brothers of different kinds, just as you have races and nation- alities.

EDITOR'S LETTER Dear Reader:- It is always with a feeling of reluct- ance and regret that we finally turn to the last page of an enjoyable book But never have we felt this pang of regret so keenly as now, when we reach the last page of our year book, a chronicle of which we have felt so much a part. Especially is this true since with the completion of this book, we also will have turned the last page of a chapter in life so joyously filled with friendship, adventures, and fond memories. We shall make this an opportunlity of extending our personal thanks and those of our many co-Workers to all who have in any Way helped to make the pub- lication of this book a possibility. First we would like to thank our prin- cipal, Mr. Berry, and the faculty directors of the publication, Mr. Moran, Mr. Hig- giston, and Miss Pyne, for the indispens- able cooperation Which they have so en- thusiastically rendered. To Mrs. Berry, Mrs. Cenedella, Mrs. Grayson, and Mrs. Lally we extend deep- est thanks for the material aid that was ours through the success of their excel- lently conducted food sale. We are grate- ful indeed to those students and their mothers whose contributions helped to make the affair the success that it Was. To our classmates, the Misses Gilbert and Ragonese, is due much credit for the success of our public and private card parties, the proceeds of which contributed to the funds for this enterprise. We also say Thank you to all who donated or loaned cards, tables, chairs, or other es- sentials for the affair. We acknowledge our indebtedness and express our thanks to the management of the State Theatre for permitting us to hold a benefit performance to further our project. It would be superfluous to laud the accomplishments of the committee mem- bers-surely complete personal satisfac- tion is theirs as they realize the fruits of their labors in form so tangible as this book, their own creation. Finally, but indeed far from least, we wish to express our gratitude to the townspeople, merchants, and students as a whole for making our undertaking fin- ancially possible by sponsoring our book and supporting our benefit activities. We of the committee consider our ap- pointment to the O. L. I. Staff a great honor, and working in association With one another has afforded us a great deal of pleasure, satisfaction, and invaluable experience. Though we began our activities with great self-confidence, we frequently met with the outside criticism that such an enterprise as this is out of all proportion to the capabilities of a small high school. However, we are confident that the excel- lence of our completed chronicle and the enthusiasm evidenced by the entire student body in its production shall bear eloquent testimony to the contrary. Should perusal of our book in future years serve to unearth and call to mem- ory some forgotten ideal or ambition, our effort will have been worthwhile. And thus, bearing as our standard the inspir- ing motto, Always, Ever Onward, and impressed with the significance of the Oak, the Lily, and the Ivy, we conclude our activities as high school students and prepare to step forth into the world of realism and greater responsibilities.

That makes it most important that the funeral director who is called be one in whom implicit confidence and trust may be placed. The only way to be sure is to investigate in advance.
