SHEA—For making our year book possible. MISS GENEVIEVE KERSULIS— For her artistie contributions. CHESTER ETHIER—For his help in securing advertisements. THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS—For their interesting contribu- tions. TO ALL OTHERS-—Who by their efforts helped to make our book a success. [Osea eOsinelD H, just to gather our dreams together into words and then convert our words to deeds! Beyond the portals of our high school there les another world, more real, more grim, and none the less alluring. As we approach the end we must pause to express our gratitude to the teachers who have been steadfast friends through our four years here. We must also extend our thanks to under-class- men who have supported our every undertaking—even this, our Aftermath. When at length we set foot on the final threshold, clad in armor, bright, shin- ing, and impenetrable, we shall see the prospects of this new world to overcome and like heroes of the ancient days we shall set our hearts on conquest that will imprint its proof on the annals of the years. Through the years to come we shall oft recall the laughter, the freedom, and the attainments of our youth, and now and then look back upon this ear- nest record, to chuckle as we come across some bit of gay romance, and to laugh to read once more the passages of wealth in exaggeration. In truth, the spirit of these four years of high school will glow anew, enhanced, unaltered by the time, and we shall then relive our youth, as bold, as free, and as cour- ageous, and as glorious with the adventures of these younger days. We have tried our best to make this book a success,—and with a true pledge ‘‘To do as honor demands” we present this Aftermath of the Class Oreos.

THH ABVTERMATH 1931 CIES) SONG: (Tune of “‘Loeh Lomond’’) By ANNA McAVOY In this fair month of sunshine and rose scented breeze We gather to bid fond adieu; For soon we must part and on unknown seas embark For lands that are alien and new. Chorus: Then let us be Joyous, withhold the unshed tear ; Let our last hours tog@ether be gay. When long years are passed, in our hearts we may hold fast The sweet memory of this parting day. Dear teachers and classmates, farewell to one and all; We pledge we shall always be true. We’ll praise Millbury High, and our motto we’ll apply: ‘“Ags Honor demands, let us do.’’ Chorus: Then let us be Joyous, withhold the unshed tear ; Let our last hours together be gay. When long years are passed, in our hearts we may hold fast The sweet memory of this parting day. ET EK AFTERMATH 1951 SENIORS President, W. Eilert Vice-President, M.

He seems to rather scorn the upperclassmen and devotes himself to teaching the freshmen various activities. I might add that he has been a very proficient teacher judging from results. Orchestra (2, 3, 4). PETER JOSEPH ARMY, JR. “A Mother’s Pride; A Father’s Joy.” Feter has a rather dark outlook on life. He places no faith in anyone, especially the fair sex; but perhaps Pete has been taught by experience; who knows? At any rate he is an expert fisherman and hu nter and we are proud of him. Basketball (2); Baseball (1, 2); Reflector Staff (3, 4); Science Club (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Aftermath Board (4); Class Picture Committee (4). ALPHONSUS JOHN BEAUREGARD “A Face With A Smile And A Story Of Wit, Made The Long Hour Short.” Alphonsus is one of the most popular members of our class. He has won an “M” in both debating and baseball. He was manager of the boys’ basketball team and also proved a success in the Senior Play. He is class treasurer and on top of all this has the singular honor of belonging to the so-called ‘“‘Bramanville Gang.” With a background like this he should be able to go far in life. Latin Club (1); Class treasurer (1, 2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Com- mittee (3); Baseball (3, 4); Basketball manager (4); Dramatics (4); Debating (4); Class Day Speaker, Aftermath Board (4). tele] THE AFPTERMATIL 193: BERNARD BROOKLIN BOUTILIER “The World Owes Me A Living.” Boots is a rather happy-go-lucky fellow. He believes that since one only lives once one should enioy life to the greatest ex- tent possible. He is never moody but is always just the same good- natured Boots. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). GERTRUDE IRENE BROBERG “Work Is Always Rewarded.” Gertrude is the valedictorian of our class. She has been very outstanding in history, having won the annual history medal and also receiving first place in the State of Massachusetts for her essay on the Paris Peace Pact. We feel certain that Gertrude will prove to be a very efficient teacher. Senior Prom Committee (4); Graduation Speaker (4). MARY FRANCES BROWN “There Is A Garden In Her Face, Where Roses And White Lilies Grow.” Mary has a very sweet disposition and although she is rather quiet she is very well liked by all the members of the class. It is certain that she will one day bring sunshine and joy into some one’s life. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). ganhy THE ARPER MATH 2935 MARY LEONA BUXTON “Beauty Is The Flower of Virtue.” Leona is another popular member of our class. She is rather light-hearted and does not believe in taking the world too seriously. I’m sure that when Leona becomes a nurse, the male population will discover a lot of ailments which they never had before. Latin Club (1); Dramatics (2, 4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Invitation Committee (4). RACHEL AUGUSTA CARLSON “Sweet Are The Thoughts That Savour Of Content The Quiet Mind Is Richer Than A Crown.” Ray is extremely quiet or at least she is around school. How- ever, when she does speak, she never has anything ill to say of anyone and that means a lot. We must also take into consideration the fact that perhaps her companions never give her a chance to talk. Junior From Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). DORIS IRHNH CAPLETTEH “A Merry Heart And A Cheerful Countenance.” Doris is one of the girl athletes of our class. She has a keen sense of humor and if you would like to get an opinion on some of her spicy jokes ask someone who has heard one or better still, get Doris to tell you one herself. Basketball (2, 3, 4); Typewriting Club and Contest (3); Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Reflector Staff (4); Picture Committee (4); Office (4). f 14 | THE CARTER IMUATES 13a BURTON CLARK “Deeper, Deeper—Let Us Toil In The Mines Of Knowledge.” Bub is a member of both baseball and basketball teams and he is also an honor student. He is very popular with the class, espe- cially the boys who seem to look up to him as a big brother. A Il- though he is usually a rather serious minded person, his most in- timate friends say that he cuts loose occasionally, especially when he is with Watkins and Beauregard. Baseball (38, 4)—Captain (4); Basketball (4); Reflector Staff (4); Aftermath Board (4); Class Day Speaker (4); Picture Com- mittee (4); Honor Pupil (4). LEWIS DANA CROSS “He Hath A Daily Beauty In His Life.” Lewis is a new comer in our class but we feel as though he had always been with us. He proved his ability as an actor in the senior play, which may be the reason that he is so popular with the fair sex. For various reasons we have learned that he is a ereat lover of horses too. Bramaties (4); Science Club (4). {DA KATHRYN DAVIDSON “Busy As The Day Is Long.” Ida is one of the jolliest persons you could hope to meet, but then that part of Millbury from which she comes is noted for its good-natured people, so perhaps we shouldn’t give Ida too much credit for her ever-ready smile. I might add that she is also an honor pupil, so with her sunny disposition and her scholastical standing she is quite an asset to our class. Senior Prom Committee (4); Aftermath Board (4). THE ARTERMATIT 1931 WINFRED WALTER EILERT ‘Ag Prone To Mischief As Able To Perform It.” Win is the president of our class and although he has a repu- tation for getting into mischief, we are proud of him. Win seems to have a code of honor all induce him to break. Latin (1): President (1, 2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Committee (@)); Senior Prom Committee (4). MARY ANGELA FRAZIER “Good Things Are Wrapt Up In Small Parcels.” Mary belongs to what is known as the office force at the high school. We are wondering what Mr. Shea is going to do without her; but he will have to manage as best he can because she be- longs to our class and we claim first right to her. Prom Committee (3, 4); Office (4). WILLIAM EDWARD GALLAGHER “A Youth Of Speed And Dash.” Willy is also a new member of our class. However, it was not long before the class took him to its heart, esvecially the weaker sex. Perhaps Willy owes his succéss with the ladies to his brother, who paved the way for him. Because he has been here only one year, we haven’t experienced his athletic powers, yet we know that he has been a member of the baseball, basketball, football, tennis and track teams of his old Alma Mater. P16 ] THE APTERMATIL 193: GERTRUDE ELIZABETH GLOVER “Gentle Of Speech, Beneficent Of Mind.” Gertrude is a very quiet little miss, but her gentle mind and shy manner has won us all. The fact that she is an honor pupil proves that she puts duty before pleasure. When Gertrude becomes a teacher. we shall all return and take P. G.’s. Latin Club (1); Junior Prom Committee (8). ELIZABETH CLAIRE GROGAN “The Goddess In Babe’s Disguise.” Babe is the mathematician of our class. She delights in mas- tering the hardest subjects in the high school. However Babe finds time for other things as well as studying. She has been Editor-in- Chief of The Reflector and manager of the basketball team. We know that whatever career Babe chooses will prove successful. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Manager of Girls’ Basketball Team (4); Assistant Editor of Re- flector (3); Hditor of the Reflector (4); Aftermath Board (4). MARJORIE MELVINA VERONICA HAMILTON “The Devilish Disposition Of A Scotchman.” Marjorie is another of the Bramanville Gang, and like all peo- ple from that section of the town she goes in strong for sports. Mariorie was a member of this year’s basketball team; she plays baseball like nobody’s business, and she swings a mean tennis Yacket. Mariorie intends to become somebody's stenog and we're sure she will succeed. Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Prom Committee (3); Typewriting Club (3, 4); Typewriting Contest (8, 4); Reflector Staff (4); Office (4). = — cy + THE AFTERMATH 1931 MARY FLORA HESLINGA “A Genius Bright And Keen, Of Towering Talents And Terresterial Aims.” Mary is another girl athlete. She made the team in her fresh- man year and was a star forward on the champion team of 1930. Mary is also a diligent student and her name is found listed among the honor pupils. I’m sure that when she enters B. U. in the fall, she will continue this good work and make us all proud that she is a member of our class. Basketball (1, 2, 3); Basketball Mgr. (3); Junior Prom Com- mittee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). DOROTHY ELIZABETH HIGGINSON “A Little Body Doth Often Harbour A Great Soul.” Dot is the class secretary. She has a very lovable disposition and is a great favorite with the class. When told that she is going to be a teacher, the first thought that occurs to you is what a break some pupils are going to have. Class Secretary (1, 2, 3, 4); Dramatics (1, 4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). JOHN ADAIR HOWARD “Thy Soul Was Like A Star That Dwelt Apart.” John is an exceptionally quiet boy. I don’t know much about him except that he is fond of fishittg and hunting. I also learned from.members of the bookkeeping class that he is fond of the sub ject and has turned in some original work. Senior Prom Committee (4). THE APTERMATH 1931 EVELYN RUTH HORNE “She Moves A Goddess, And She Looks A Queen.” Evelyn is another mischief maker and will not hesitate to par- ticipate in any prank. Perhaps this is because she has been born and bred in Bramanville or perhaps it is just her nature. At any rate she is popular with the class and takes a lively interest in its activities. Dramatics (1); Latin Club (1); Junior Prom Committee (3); Reflector Staff (4); Ring Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Class Day Speaker (4). ii EDITH MARGARET JOHNSON “A Kind And Gentle Heart She Had To Comfort Friend And Foe.” Edith is another member of the basketball team. She is also an honor student and well liked by her classmates. All] in all, Edith is a model girl. It looks as though the coming generation is going to be blessed with perfect teachers. Latin Club (1); Basketball (2, 3,4); Senior Prom Committee (4). ANTHONY FRANCIS KONISKY “Not So Good Is It To Harp On The Frayed String.” Tony is quite a musician: he is able to make his sax laugh and €ry in turn, and his audience usually does the same. He has a very witty disposition, which is probably the reason why he made such a hit in the play. Orchestra (2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Class Day Speaker (4); Dramatics (4). tae) THE AFPTERMATIT 1931 FLORENCE IDA LEE “Politeness Has Been Well Defined As Benevolence In Smal! Things.” Florence is a very pleasant and agreeable girl. Ever since I have known her, I have never seen her angry. She too is going to be a teacher. It seems to me that all the best natured people in our class are goins to teach. We wonder if this has always been the case. Senior Prom Committee (4). MARY MAGDALEN LITTLE “She’s All My Fancy Painted Her; She’s Lovely; She’s Divine.” Mary is the vice-president of our class. After you have made her friendship, you cannot help feeling wealthier. I never hope to meet a sweeter, happier, more sincere friend than Mary. I might add that she’s going to teach. Latin Club (1); Vice-President (1, 2, 3, 4); Debating Club (3); Junior From Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Re- flector Staff (4); Aftermath Board (4); Ring Committee (3); Motto Committee (4). GEORGE FRANCIS LISK “A Wise Man Is A Great Wonder.” George, better known as Jump, is one of the popular male members of our class. As we all know, Jump just dotes on fishing. Although he loses his temper very easily, we all realize that he means no harm by it and would do anything in the world for any OL us: Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Science Club (4); Aftermath Board (4); Class Day Speaker (4). r 20 | THE AFTERMATH 193 MARY MARGARET LUKASZEK “Relaxed Into A Universal Grin.” Mary must think that every thing in this world is funny. Whether she is discussing the weather, playing tennis, or doing Latin, she always wears a very broad smile and seems highly amused. Perhaps this is because class-mates inspire her to laugh. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4); Teac Club (1). HELENA MARY MANN “Still Waters Run Deep.” Helena is a member of the orchestra and that is saying a lot, considering the fine orchestra that it is. You will find her a very interesting person with whom to speak, as she has traveled con- siderably on various parts of the globe. Latin Club (1); Debating Club (3); Orchestra (4). ANNA MAY McAVOY “Gheerfulness Makes Short The Miles With Talk And Smiles,” Mac is one of the members of the class to whom the majority of us look up—both because we have to on account of her height and because we feél well protected under her guidance. Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Captain (4); Dramatics (1, 4); Junior Prom Committee (3, 4); Senior Prom Committee (3, 4); Reflector (3, 4); Class Day Speaker (4); Aftermath Board (4). THE AFTERMATH 193 KATHERINE RAY MACLAREN , “Mind Cannot Follow It, Nor Words Express Her Infinite Sweetness.” Kay is another new-comer to our class, and we iust can’t help feeling as though we had been cheated because we did not have her as a classmate until this year. She has a peach of a disposition and a winning smile. All-in-all Kay is O-Kay with us. Typewriting Club (4); Senior Prom Committee (4). GERTRUDE LUCILLE McLAUGHLIN “She Doth Bathe In Bliss That Hath A Quiet Mind.” During school hours Gertrude is a very quiet miss, but we feel certain that when she is with a certain person that this is not the case; else how did she acauire that ring? She tried to convince us that Santa Claus brought it to her and we might have believed it if one of the freshmen hadn’t informed us that there was not any Santa Claus. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). EVA GRACE PEPIN “A Kindly Heart Doth Win The Love Of All.” Eva is seldom heard to speak, but she has a charming little laugh which she exercises auite freauently, and after all, who wouldn’t prefer a musical ripple of laughter to an ordinary torrent of dull words. Eva also has a pleasant disposition so we can con- clude that she won’t be Pepin long. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). THE AFTERMATH 19381 LAWRENCE ALPHONSE PIERCE “T Hasten To Laugh At Everything.” Blue Boy is one of the most humorous members of our class. We are deevly indebted to him for keeping the class awake on dull and otherwise colorless days. It is rumored that he plans to in- vent a bicycle with only one wheel. We are certain that he will be able to make it. But the question is—will he be able to run the thing? Junior Prom Committee (3). aw ALICIA MARIE RENAUD ‘Virtue Shines With Untarnished Honor.” Alicia is a very competent commercial student. She would, no doubt, be a blessing to some business concern, but when we see her time and again accompanied by the same person, we have rea- son to believe that Alicia will never be a stenog. Latin Club (1); Typewriting Club (3); Typewriting Contest (3); Shorthand Contest (3). RAYMOND THOMAS ROACH “A Man Produced To Do Good Deeds.” Soup is the outstanding athlete of our class, having won letters in both baseball and basketball. We all seem to think that he spends an unustial amount of time in the Reflector room but, of course, he is business manager of that paper, so we shouldn’t be suspicious, Baseball (2, 3, 4); Basketball (2, 3, 4); Captain (4); Assistant Manager of Reflector (3); Business Manager (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). [ 23 ] THE AFPTERMATIT 1931 HARRY WILSON TAFT “I’m Modesty Personified.” Harry is another member of the class who takes a lively inter- est in its activities. It was largely through his untiring efforts that our two proms were a success. We sometimes gaze upon him in awe, and wonder how it happened that our class was blessed with such a genius. Baseball (1); Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). BLANCHE ISABELLE TAYLOR “Nothing Succeeds Like Succ ess.” Blanche igs another student who enjoys laughing. In fact, she is always teasing some one to tell her something amusing so she may laugh. Perhaps this is the reason why she and Kay get along so well. Blanche wears an Upton High School class ring. She insists that it belongs to a girl friend, but we know better. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). ARTHUR WALTER WATCHORN “T Bear a Charmed Life.” Arthur takes a very lively interest in sports. Whenever wé are in doubt as to the rules of a gadmé, we neéd only to consult him, His favorite sport, I believe, is tentiis, at which he is very pro- ficient. Arthur c n swing a tennis racket to as much advantage as Babe Ruth can swing a bat. Baseball Manager (3); Basketball Manager (3); Reflector Staff (3); Latin Club (1); Motto Committee (4). | 24 | THE AFTERMATH 1931 DAVID HANSON WATKINS % “A Man Of Virtue And Faith.” David is another member of the baseball nine. At first one might be led to believe that he was very quiet, but when one has been in the same class with him for four years, he begins to change that opinion. The fact that he is one of Beauregard’s pals proves that he can’t be extremely cuiet anyway. Baseball (2, 3, 4); Reflector Staff (38, 4). MYRTICE AGNES WISSELL “Life Is Just Full Of Pleasure.” Myrtice believes in “Live and Let Live.” She enters whole- heartedly into any of the class activities and has been a great help to us at both proms. We are sure that Myrtice will make a very successful stenog. Junior Prom Committee (3); Senior Prom Committee (4). [ 25 | ADDRESS OF WELCOME os WINFRED EILERT Parents, Teachers, Classmates and Friends: We welcome you to our Class Day Exercises. For four years we have pa- tiently waited and earnestly hoped for this eventful day; but now, realizing that our High School days have ended, we regret that the time has been too short and now we must part from M. H. S. We most assuredly appreciate the sacrifices made by our parents, the un- tiring help and support of our teachers, and our friends’ interests in us. The happy memories of toils and joys at Millbury High School will not be east aside by us and we shall go forth with whatever knowledge we have obtained, striving to do our best. We know that you will still have the same interest in us in the future and this will be an incentive to us not to fail you. It is my privilege to welcome you to these, our Class Day Exercises. [ 26 ] CALE SS BLES POR SY By EVELYN R. HORNE EING at leisure for the entire afternoon on a balmy day in Spring, I felt a desire to walk through the streets and examine the many curios displayed in the shop windows. I wended my way among the passers-by, idly elancing about me. I turned into a small side street to see what interesting things I might discover but was awakened from my reverie by a none too gentle nudge. I turned around quickly and to my astonishment I saw a with- ered old hag beckoning to me. I drew myself up proudly and prepared to walk haughtily away, but her gleaming eyes seemed to cast a sort of hypnotic spell upon me and I found my- self doing the unexpected—following her down a few stairs into a dingy room. She motioned me to sit down but no word was uttered, just the steady, staring of her glittering eyes which held me as if in a spell. I saw a large crystal ball on a table in front of me. Opposite me was a chair into which the old woman silently shpped. For the first time she spoke, addressing me with: ‘“‘You wonder why I, a stranger, lead you from the street into this room? I will keep you in suspense no longer. I see by the crystal that you are now leaving High School and lest you forget those four happy years during which you have made some life-lasting friendships, I wish to recall to your mind everything of import- ance that happened during your High School days.’’ She passed her hands over the globe and mo- tioned me to look into the erystal ball which was before me. Deep inside it I could see a picture of a platform on which were seated many young girls and boys. I recognized it as the picture of my class on the day of gradua- tion from Grammar School—and thus I began to see the history of my class: Four years ago we were seated on the plat- form in our assembly hall where we received our diplomas and first realized that at last we were ready to enter High School to obtain an even greater amount of knowledge. Summer came and went and we were back in school. Again we were in the assembly hall and upon the same platform there was but one man, our principal, Mr. Pratt, who was sternly impressing us of his strictness in so far as obey- ing rules was concerned. We then went to our rooms and sat timidly in our seats. We were assuring ourselves that never should we shirk our work, desirous of obtaining that pinnacle of success that Mr. Pratt spoke so con- fidently of our being able to reach if we stud- ied. After some months of this blissful life we were well started on our High School career. We had even become bold enough to call a meeting and proudly elect our class officers. After much ado of voting, counting and clap- ping we elected Winfred Eilert, a capable boy, as the president of our class. Mary Little was chosen vice-president; James Stewart, treasur- er, but unfortunately he left our class so Al- phonsus Beauregard was selected to take his place; and lastly, Dorothy Higginson was voted to be our secretary. Now we were well organ- ized and ready to meet difficulties of any kind. The number in our class diminished as a few - dropped out but though we missed them, we were not daunted. In fact, for mere freshmen we attained fame by providing an entertain- ment. We gave a play,“ The Queen of Hearts,” which was coached by Miss Riordan, in the as- sembly hall before teachers and pupils of the High and Junior High Schools. The actors were Janet Weyer, Anna McAvoy, Dorothy Higginson, Gladys Beso, William Dulmaine (two former classmates) and Evelyn Horne. In the same year we loaned talented members to the Seniors for their annual play. We had as our chief sportsmen, Anna Me- Avoy and Mary Heslnga, who succeeded in making the basketball team which was coached by Miss Sullivan. Raymond Roach, Harry Taft and Peter Army also came into prominence the same year and were active players during the baseball season. Both the baseball and basketball teams were coached by Mr. Beaton. As for studies we did extremely well and were proud to see a long list of freshmen names on the honor roll. Thus ended our first enthusiastic year. Those heights of suecess did not seem quite so unattainable as they had one year ago. THE AFTERMATH 1931 After a delightful summer of freedom from studies, books and homework, the class came back once more to the routine of study to fight for honors. We were now sophomores setting an example for those who had stepped into our former positions. The first half of the yeer slipped peacefully away, owing to the fact that we were too en- erossed in our studies. But we received quite a jolt when told to prepare for mid-year exams. All was hustle, bustle and excitement the fol- lowing week. With a sigh of relief we finally wrote and passed in the last exam and for many weeks afterwards we discussed this new worry that had been instituted. Again the Seniors began to select their actors for the regular Senior play, to which we were onee more happy to loan a brilliant classmate, Leona Buxton. Being loyal classmates we turned out in vast numbers to see the play, which proved to be the great success we had hoped it would be. As another activity we succeeded in having classmates on most every department of The Reflector staff. Every one of these departments of the paper proved to be worthy of the praise they received. Basketball season came round again and in this, too, we took an active part. Now four members were on the regular league team, Anna McAvoy, Mary Heslinga, Edith Johnson and Doris Caplette. Each one of these got a letter at the end of the season. The boys shone forth in baseball and basketball. Raymond Roach and Harry Taft both making the basketball team and getting letters. David Watkins, Al- phonsus Beauregard and Peter Army succeeded in getting on the baseball team and also re- ceived letters. A change in faculty was made about this time owing to the departure of our history teacher, Mr. Ratigan, who left our institution for several months. Miss Brown came to teach us but was taken from us and Mrs. Day filled her place, teaching until Mr. Ratigan’s return in June. Still another change was made. In May, Mr. Shea came to be our principal with Mr. Pratt’s departure for Barre. It was nearing the end of the year and we were glad to see that with all these activities we had held our own on the honor roll, having a good number represented. Thus the second vear had gone and all too quickly. It had been a strenuous year for us and we welcomed the long vacation in which to rest for the third year of school. On our return in September, an undefinable joy was ours. We had the pleasure of being addressed as Juniors. And this year was to prove to be the most wonderful of them all. We began attending to business affairs, eall- ing a class meeting, as soon as our studies were well under way. This was for the purpose of selecting our class rings. A committee of three was chosen to select one ring and a vote by the class made it unanimous—after a few days of impatient waiting, the rings arrived and we were graciously and oh, so proudly placing our hands conspicuously where members of the other classes could not help but see them. From this time on we devoted our days to diligent and concentrated study, which was by no means in vain; for late in the course of the year there was a state typewriting and short- hand contest in which many of our class mem- bers participated. Marjorie Hamilton won first prize in shorthand and Alicia Renaud second prize in shorthand. And this was but one of the many honors to come. Miss Riordan was given a promotion this year and was to teach only Junior and Senior English classes. Miss Pierce took over the su- pervision of the Freshman and Sophomore di- visions. She was with us but a few months when the announcement was made of her com- ing marriage to Mr. Beaton, our French in- structor; and thus we lost one more teacher Whose amiable disposition and _ instructive teaching we had come to value. With the Thanksgiving and Christmas va- eations following on each other’s heels it seemed but a short interim before the sport sea- son came again; and what an exciting basket- ball season it was! The girls fought in the league games, keeping their score equal with that of Oxford. Finally the tie-off game, which was to decide the championship, was played in the St. John’s gymnasium. Every loyal class- mate was there cheering and encouraging the squad. At last when the game was over, Mill- bury had won, and the girls were proclaimed champions. A trophy was presented to them with each of their names engraved on it. Imagine our in- tense pride on seeing that the names of four of our class were inscribed there for everyone to see. Now June was upon us with all its warmth and sunshine, bringing with it also the time of [ 28 ] THE AFTERMATH 1931 the annual Junior Prom. What joy was ours to realize that we were running it, not just looking on. After many laborious days of dec- orating, which proved on that eventful night that our time was not spent in a fool-hardy way, owing to the fact that the decorations were proclaimed the best of any seen in many years, we declared ourselves ready for the crowning evening. With a lively dance orches- tra and a merry throng, a pleasant evening was spent by everyone. A huge profit of one hun- dred and twenty-five dollars was cleared and the gala affair was proclaimed the success aimed at. Two of our classmates, Everett Adams and Anthony Konisky, whose abilities tended more to music, joined the school orchestra which was directed by Miss Connors. And thus the year of golden successes ended amidst the glory that was ours. After a well-earned vacation filled with sun- ny, blissful days of swimming, fishing and mo- toring, as the fancy desired, we came back to our beloved institution, minds alert and cheeks aglow, bent on climbing the last rungs of the ladder of success. This was the year that every pupil dreams of living through—the SENIOR YEAR. It meant we were the most highly esteemed pupils in the school and were nearest the acme of perfection ever reached by High School students. Being capable, ambitious students, we determined to prove exactly how perfect we really were, in the whole sense of the word. A surprise awaited us on going to our regu- lar classes for we were amazed to note several — changes in the faculty. Their acquaintances were made namely, Miss Cutts, Mr. Neary, and Miss Leavitt. After acquaintances were made and each one knew us by name, we settled down to work under new supervision. Events ran smoothly with few interruptions except for the dreaded mid-year exams which exacted so much energy to prepare for them. Winter brought the date of the Senior play once more upon us. Actors for the play, “Be An Optimist,’’ were chosen after much deliberation and were as follows: Anthony Konisky, Leona Ruxton, Dorothy Higginson, Carey Tatro, Flor- ence Fenner, Lewis Cross, Alphonsus Beaure- gard, Lawrence Bertrand, Roy Bruninghaus, Anna MeAvoy, Arlene J. Day, Doris Lambert, and Chester Ethier. Preparation was begun at once, the players being coached by Mrs. Bea- ton; and all too soon the eve of its presentation was at hand. It was as great a success as hope- ful, honor-seeking Seniors could make it—in reality its result was a record success. Hardly had this event passed when the an- nouncement of the Senior prom was made. In order to make it as great a success as the last, many things had to he attended to. Committees were chosen to supervise the decorating, re- freshments, and the sale of tickets. And so the night of February Eleventh found us enjoying a gay successful evening. As was the case at the Junior Prom, we made a commendable profit to add to our class savings. No time for loitering! We again hasten into athletics. With last year’s championship still in mind both teams prepared to maintain their hard-won title. Exciting games of victory and depressing games of defeat were all undergone before the end drew near. Again the girls were tie and this time with Northbridge. To make matters more interesting, the boys ended tie with Northbridge also. Students flocked to both gymnasiums to see the finals, watching with feverish brow every play made. The boys after a hard well-fought battle finally sportingly ac- cepted their defeat. The girls’ game drew the same watchful throng but were favorably blessed by fortune and courage, and won for the second time the league championship. An- other trophy, and again that thrill of pride to see four names of our class adorning it. With this victory still being shouted from every tongue, we strove to double the honors. The debating club formed once more by Mr. Shaw, drew many of our talented speakers into this, as yet, unexplored field. Alphonsus Beaure- gard, Richard Montague and Joseph Stead, also Lawrence Bertrand, presented the striking speakers to compete in the contest. Chester Ethier and William O’Connell were acting as alternates. The debates were fought against Spencer and North Brookfield, both being won by Millbury. This meant we had won the loving cup for prize debating... It gave us abounding pleasure to note that a senior name was among those of the victorious debators. The end was now close at hand and the usual preparations for our departure were com- menced. Mr. Chase was summoned from Leo- minster to take the class pictures, the proofs of which were quite satisfactory to everyone. Further progress was mede when a class meeting was called to elect cless officers. They | 29:4] THE AFTERMATH 1931 were as follows: Alphonsus Beauregard, pro- phet; Anthony Konisky, Last Will and Testa- ment; Burton Clark, Giver of Gifts; Evelyn Horne, Class Historian; Anna McAvoy, Class Statistician; George Lisk, Omissions and Cor- rections. Honor pupils to speak graduation night were: Gertrude Broberg, with first honors; Burton Clark, Elizabeth Grogan and Mary Heslinga, following. We were about to step off into the wide world not knowing what fate had in store for us, but we were doing so with no apprehensions or regrets except those which naturally beset every person who realizes he is about to leave intimate friends, lower classmates and teachers whom he has learned to appreciate through years of communication with them. With the picture of my class seated once more on a platform with the blazing motto above them, LET US DO WHAT HONOR DE- MANDS, and receiving diplomas as I had first seen them on gazing into the crystal ball. The last glorifying event of my High School career faded into nothingness; leaving me with my mind once more filled with youthful thoughts. Dazedly I climbed the stairs leading to the street, the History of my class firmly emblaz- oned in my memory forever. Clbessies PAR ON 1D AG, AY By ALPHONSUS BEAUREGARD U' was a most pleasing day in June with old Sol smiling down upon us. S chool children were cheerfully prancing about with joy, for it was the last day of school. Students were passing by, most of them without books, while others were bringing home their own posses- sions. They, also in a pleasant state of mind, were overjoyed with the day which we were having, but as you will later see, it lasted for a time. In a few hours I was on my way home when the sun was suddenly blotted out. I gazed up- ward and to my amazement dark clouds, which were accumulating rapidly, were visible. Soon I felt drops of rain descending upon my face and hands and then it began to fall harder and harder. Not properly fit to meet the occasion, I hastened my pace to a trot, and finally I began to run as fast as I could. I was unable to dis- tinguish any objects before me and was soon aware of the fact when I stopped with a thud. I saw nothing but a flash, and later I could see the sun shining once more. There I was sitting in my car reading a news- paper dated 1945. What! I looked again. Yes sir, that’s right. Peter Army surpasses the old aéroplane speed record and is being paid a fine tribute. Was I surprised? No, I was aston- ished! After looking through the entire contents of the paper, I decided to move along toward the center of the city when I heard someone say in a very sharp manner, ‘‘Oh no, you don’t.”’ I turned around and there was a_ policeman. “Ton’t you know better than to park beside a hy—?” Then I saw his angry countenance change to a broad smile and heard him say, “Well if it isn’t Al.’ ‘‘Hello, John Howard. How are you?’’ I inquired. After the good old handshake I was informed that William Gallag- her was chief of No. 19 fire department of that city, that Anna McAvoy made a name for her- self by translating such great Latin works such as: Heroclotus, Juvenal, Virgil, Sallust, and a few others, and that David Watkins was play- ing baseball with the Boston Braves and doing very well. [ ‘ a After having bidden John farewell, I started for the other part of the city, but had gone about one mile when a child darted out in the road before me. I brought the car to an im- mediate stop, thus saving the child by a very slight margin. There I heard a lady eall, ‘‘Ju- nior, you come here this minute.” Ags I was about to start—the very same lady said, “Hello Phonse, come on over.’’ So I got out of the car and walked in that direction. Behold! It was Dorothy Higginson. No sooner had I reached her when I saw a man come from the rear of the home, and George Lisk, dressed in a nice brown suit, was approaching us. He invited me to meet his wife and their little boy Junior whom I had almost run over. Dorothy told me that Elizabeth Grogan, Eva Pepin, Alicia Renaud and Blanche Taylor were nurses in the largest hospitals in the city. ‘‘Do you know anything of Tony Konisky?’’ I asked George. ‘‘Yes,’’ answered he, “we are both agents for the Buick Motor Company. During our spare time we go fishing or hunting and en- joy ourselves.’’ After exchanging tidings, I left them and rode toward the north end of the city and per- ceived posters indicating that there was to be a circus that afternoon. I made up my mind to attend that circus and as I must be suppled with smokes, I was compelled to make another stop. Entering a small store, I asked for a package of the finest cigars. “What kind?’’ was the inquiry. “Give me—Well, well, Hello Ray. everything?” ‘ Fine, thanks, Al.” We talked for a time and then I had to start for the circus. I left Raymond but was attracted by a large sign which read ‘‘Palace—vaudeville, best ever.’ I hastened to the theatre to inform my- self as to what was the feature of this vaude- ville. I was greatly surprised, but here is what made up the program: Eleven chorus girls. left to right, Ida Davidson, Rachel Carlson, Mary Lukaszek, Mary Frazier, Mary Brown, Mar- jorie Hamilton, Doris Caplette, Gertrude Glov- How’s b) x1 | THE AFTERMATIL 1931 er, Mary Heslinga, Katherine Macharen and Helena Mann, with their leader, Florence Lee. Then there were two comedians of well- known fame who were to demonstrate their ability in this city. They were Burnett Bou- tilier and Harry Taft. I regretted very much that I had resolved to go to the circus or I cer- tainly would have gone to that show! After picking my way through the crowded sidewalks until about fifty vards from my des- tination, I perceived a familiar face which seemed to recognize me for she was approach- ing me. It was Mary Little. She informed me that Edith Johnson and she were teachers. “Do you know anything of Burton Clark?” I inquired. ‘‘T suppose that he’s earning a sal- ary as a baseball player.’’ “No; said’ Mary, ““He’s trying to attam fame as a singer. He sings over the radio ev- ery Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evening on station WCUD.’’ She then told me that Leona Buxton and Evelyn Horne were seeking a career in Hollywood. We entered the circus grounds which was beyond description with its stands, side shows, tents and other features. We began right there by entering the first side-show we saw, to watch the strong man exhibit his strength. There before us was Lewis Cross juggling large weights which seemed to amaze the people wit- nessing his performance. Being unable to see Lewis after his perfor- mance, we were unable to congratulate him, so we went to see the main show, which consisted of tight-rope walking and trapeze work by our good friend Winfred Eilert. He proved him- self very skillful in this department of work and the on-lookers were greatly enthused. But it was Arthur Watchorn, the lion-tamer, who received the applause of the audience when he stepped into the cage of a mad lion and ordered him about as if it were a pet. The work of Lawrence Pierce was also worthy of mention, for it was he who kept the fans in a jovial mood throughout the entertain- ment. Mary and I enjoyed the circus very much but my afternoon was soon interrupted by a shocking headache which was becoming more and more annoying. Nothing was perceptible before me, but I soon awoke with a bandage about my head. I was later informed that in my speedy effort to return home I had bumped a nearby pole which proved to be as stable as the rock of Gibraltar. OMISSIONS AND CORRECTIONS GEORGE ‘LISK On a trip to New York I resolved to live luxuriously and create the im- pression that I was very rich. I engaged a suite of rooms at the Waldorf- Astoria and to my surprise found my old friend, Alphonsus Beauregard. When I discovered my old classmate, he was figuring out his accounts. It was then and there he told me that he had bought out a controlling interest in this huge hotel. for making boneless potato chips. While working as chef, he had amassed a large fortune for his receipt He still carried a pencil on his ear so that he could jot down all inspirations as they occurred to him, [ 32 ] Cobh a (due IES 7 To Everett Adams of Dority Pond, Who is a great musician, We give this little music box To keep him in condition.

LeU TAINS EIST ORY OF SMIEL BUR By GERTRUDE BROBERG ONG before the white man ever trespassed on the soil of America, there dwelt in the region now known as Millbury a tribe of In- dians called the Red Paint People, who received this appellation because of their supposed cus- tom of painting themselves with red ochre. History asserts that this tribe was driven out by the Algonquins, a great branch of the Indian race that at one time was most numerous in North America. The Nipmucks, declared to be members of the Algonquin family, made Millbury and sur- rounding towns their habitat before the white man invaded this territory. The word Nipmuck is derived from Nipamaug, which signifies ‘‘Fresh water fishing place.’’ The extent of their holdings has not been established, but the historian Church defines it as the region about Worcester, Oxford, Dudley, ete. This territory was bordered on the south by the Narragan- setts. Pierce's “‘History of Grafton,” in speaking of the Nipmuck country, states that no white man probably set foot on its soil until 1635, when it was crossed by a group of Englishmen who left Massachusetts Bay, determined to emi- grate to the more fertile valley of Connecticut. What part of the Nipmuck territory was crossed is not definitely known but as the goal was Wethersfield, it is quite probable that this eroup under the leadership of the Reverend Thomas Hooker, passed through or near what ‘is now Millbury on its way to Connecticut. John Elhott, who is known as the ‘‘Apcstle of the Indian,’’ reached Nipmuck country and collected many of the Indians that they might learn the Christian religion in their own lan- guage and benefit by this union. One of the companies thus visited was Hassanamisco (now Grafton) about three miles from Millbury Center and about three quarters of a mile from Grafton on the road which follows the Quinsig- amond River from North Grafton to Fisherville. Here can still be seen the rude headstones marking the graves of these first inhabitants. About 1675 the Indian Population reached 35,000. Philip, son of Massasoit, had at first been kindly disposed toward the white man, but when he became convinced of the white ] man’s determination to drive the Indian out and seize his land, he plotted the complete de- struction of the English in New England. Thus rose a feeling of animosity between the Indian and the white man which culminated in a se- ries of attacks upon both. The attitude of the early white settler is best expressed by Barry, who states: “There were between the white man and the Indian few points of affinity and they had few interests in common. By habit, customs, and inclinations, their paths lay far apart; and the red man was not so obtuse but this was one of his earliest discoveries, once his intercourse with the English became fairly grounded.” In spite of this attitude on the part of the majority of the settlers there were many who took more interest in the Indians and actually relied upon their trade. It resulted that the Nipmuck country, be- cause of its remoteness, became the plotting ground of the Indian against the English. Here came King Philip and his followers who at one time collected as many as a thousand men to assist Philip in his onslaught against the Eng- lish. Thus there is little doubt that the Indian savage became acquainted with our locality and often passed here on his wild, marauding ex- peditions. In May 1676, a group of Enghshmen visited Hassanimiseo and engaged in a conflict with the Indians there, and in July of the same year Sagamore John of the Nipmucks surrendered with 180 men. However the great struggle ter- minated with the death of the great leader King Philip. In 1686 some of the Huguenots who fled from persecution in France settled in Oxford only to find themselves encountered by a far more dangerous foe than at home. Asa result of the hostility of the Indians, only their graves re- main to bear witness of their toil and strife against their enemy. Loeations near the mouths of our streams and at their outlets, many tools which they used and large rocks which served as a milling place, are found. On the southwestern shore of Single tary Lake, a great deal of soapstone which the Indian used for making domestic vessels and utensils also has been discovered. Many kinds Ieeae THE AFTERMATH 193: of material were utilized in the manufacture of spear heads and points but most common was a hard, yellow rock known as quartz. This can be found near the ledges and rocks of our lakes. The vicinity of Ramshorn hag yielded thousands of specimens ranging from arrow- heads to soapstone bowls. From the shores of Singletary Lake and Dority Pond some speci- mens have been taken but not so many as those Just mentioned. The following is an extract taken from the Manuscript History of Sutton by Baldwin: “It is said the Hassanamisco Indians were visited by the Narragansetts and it was a com- mon custom with them to go together to the neighborhood of Wachusetts Mountain in the fall to hunt. A battle was fought on the south- western side of Ramshorn Road between the Indians and the English. The Indians posted themselves on the south end and the English on a small elevation of land called Potter’s hill from the owner now an island on the south end, [ 4 9 and the battle was fought in the morning. They spent the night in the places mentioned. Sey- eral Indians were killed and many bullets have been since found on the battlegrounds. Two human skeletons were some fifty years ago dis- covered a short distance south of the pond and one skull in the place where the battle was fought. This tradition comes from Anthony Dike’s father, who learned it from one of the soldiers in the battle.’’ The connecting link between the Indian of the seventeenth century and the landowners of Millbury of the twentieth century is the deed given by John Wampus, who was the Indian proprietor of all this territory. The deed was dated July 28, 1679, and was recorded in Mid- dlesex County, Massachusetts, registry of deeds on November 3, 1679, where a copy may be con- sulted. Thus this early date has been claimed by the citizens of Sutton as the natal day of the town, including as it did the present territory of Millbury. THE AMERICAN DRAMA By ELIZABETH GROGAN HE theater, as we see it, appears to be as firmly rooted as civilization itself. Hvery city boasts not of one theater but rather of many theaters. Indeed today, five theaters is a small number for any city, while less than two centries ago, not a single theater could be found in America. Prejudice that was extremely bitter and wide- spread blocked every attempt of the dra- ma to gain a foothold in the early American colonies. The theater was execrated as morally ruinous and unnecessarily frivolous by the Puritan and Quaker settlers of our country. Our thrifty Dutch immigrants denounced the theater as a needless extravagance. When such disapproval as this was so strongly voiced by the various groups that settled New KEng- land, it seemed that the odds were all against the theater’s ever becoming a popular Ameri- can pastime. Indeed, our own state of Massachusetts was a bitter opponent of the theater. In 1750 the General Court passed laws forbidding the pre- sentation of stage productions. Producers were fined, the actors were jailed, and everyone connected in any way whatsover with the the- ater was subjected to severe personel insult and newspaper attacks. The states of Mary- land and Virginia were the only two of all the colonies which did not indiscriminately prohibit the presentation of plays. In these particular states, religious prejudice was less pronounced. Wealth and leisure were greater than in the North. In spite of very marked opposition to theat- rical productions, performances were given af- ter 1700. The severe laws that were enacted for the purpose of banning theaters did not have the unanimous approval of the people. Many of the colonists craved the amusements of the gayer Europe from which they had come. Presentations were allowed by ‘‘speci7l per- mit?’ in return for which, visiting theater com- panies gave the proceeds of a performance for some worthy charity in the town or city where they played. The laws were also evaded by disguising the play es a moral lecture. No definite date can be established for the first theatrical showing in America. It is be- lieved to have been at W ili amsbury, Virginia, in the early part of the eighteenth century. New York is said to have seen its first troupe of professional actors in 1732. The aes were eae when the first English play wa offered in Boston in 1749. At about this time a ae which was arrested in P hiladelphia for trying to hire a theater, succeeded in play- ing for about six months in New York. Within the course of the next two or three years, the Hallams brought theater properties and actors from England. This company started a theater at Williamsbury where they were cordially received and offic sially approved by the governor. This same troupe later ap- peared in Philadelphia only to meet very de- termined opposition, It was not until 1759, that professional actors were seen in New England. At this time, a company started a “run’’ at Newport, Rhode Island. Three years later wrought the first theater chain or circuit. This cireuit of the- aters included all the theaters I have thus far mentioned and all others that had faeilities for theatrical productions. The stage, which got such a slow start in America, had just found firm footing when it was again brought to a halt by the Revolution- ary War. In 1774, Congress edopted a resolu- tion which forbade all public amusements. Colonial theaters were closed, but British offi- cers continued to go in for theatricals on an ambitious scale, Shortly after the the colonies again. war, actors returned to Sharp opposition to the stage lessened, so that in 17938 Massachusetts repealed its law against theaters. With the opening of the nineteenth century, the theater movement found new life. In the half century which followed, the American stage enjoyed the Golden Age of its existence, during which time there was a steady supply of first class actors. The histronic play- ers of that era were trained in the old tradition of thoroughness, style, and elocutionary powers that made acting a great and noble art. The- aters were established in all the cities along the Atlantic coast. Troupes of actors, many of whom had been trained on the English stage, played at these theaters. Such men as Kean, [ 43 ] THE AFTERMATH 19381 300th, Brougham, and Jefferson delighted the theater-goers of the nineteenth century with their playing, which was indeed true acting. The stage enjoyed a very prosperous period during the nineteenth century. About 1890, however, the theater in America showed a marked decline. The glorious nights when the stock company was seen at the height of its prosperity were but a memory. Native managers could do nothing in the face of chang- ing conditions. Money-making became the end of every effort. The stage became engulfed in the wave of commercialism and acting was changed from an art to a business. A theatrical syndicate was formed, and all actors were forced to submit to the orders of the theatrical dictators. A refusal to comply with such authority made actors ineligible for first class performances. The triumph of the syndi- cate meant the end of honest competition, the degradation of the histrionie art, the lowering of the standard of the drama, and the subjuga- tion of the actor and playwright to a few theat- rical despots. The start of a new chain of theaters, known as the Independent Movement, made the situa- tion even worse. Commercialism persisted and fierce competition resulted in overproduction. The stage became filled with trashy plays. Shakespearian plays were entirely neglected. in America Stock companies were practically dead. Ef- forts were made by real theater-lovers to estab- lish a theater endowed by the government, but such a plan did not seem practical. About 1912 the Little Theater movement was started. The guilds, composed of amateur act- ors, proposed to present plays of a higher in- tellectual order than are seen ordinarily in the commercial theater. Commercialism also gave strength to a great rival of the theater, namely, the moving pic- ture. The moving picture, as a cheap and novel entertainment, was introduced in the United States about 1896. At first the performances were crude, but the business possibilities and popular demand caused the building of motion- picture houses and the engaging of actors for picture-making. Such competition had a great effect on the theater proper. The cheaper per- formances lured everyone from the stage. Real stage stars abandoned their true calling for the movies. The audience enjoyed the silent pic- tures. Today, we have our motion pictures where we see and hear our actors and actresses some- times revelling in violence and erime, sickly sentiment and impossible heroics. To be sure, we have some good plays presented in the ‘‘talkies,” but it is we, Americans, who placed these mechanical shows in the stead of the nobler and gentler role of the actor. THE SHINING DOORS TO WONDERLAND By MARY HESLINGA OOKS are like doors we can open at will. Through them we ean pass out of the little house of our own knowledge and interest into a bigger world of things people are doing and thinking now, or of beautiful imaginings and beliefs. The growth of books is a story as wonderful as any that a book has ever told. It must have seemed almost incredible in the long ago that a man should first make marks on stone, then on the barks of trees, and then on paper to communicate his thoughts to his far off friends. When, at length, the first book ca me in o the world it must have seemed as if a new wonder had fallen from the sky. And if the first book had miraculously ap- peared from heavens, straight out of the hands of engels, it could not have brought into the world a more fruitful seed than it did e°ntain, for out of that book has come not only an amaz- ing story but the whole spreading of knowl- edge among mankind, the laws of justice, the laws of health, and indeed, the whole mighty structure of civilization. Never handle a book hghtly, without think- ing. There is something in it that wil! live for- ever; something that will exist in the world when the forest from which the paper was made is covered with great cities. Since we revere a good book for itself why should we not have a more profound regard for the power of read- ing them. Nothing will bring more lesting pleasure if we use it well. When all others fail, a book will always be a loyal friend and reading will provide the friendship and help of kings among men. There are two things we shculd remember about reading, two reasons why we read at all. The first is to gein knowledge, the second is to stir the imagination. They are noble reasons, both of them; for without knowledge nothing worth doing can be accomplished anywhere and without imagination there is no hope for the future of mank’nd. In choosing books we may safely lay aside any book which does neither of these two things. I+ is a sound rule that a book which gives us nothing takes something from us. Read the books that become a part of you, holding you as you read them. We all love thrilling tales, tales of mystery that enthrall us, hfting us up beyond ourselves out of our little lives, into the world that is far beyond our reach, yet not beyond our dreams when we are borne on the wings of imagination. When we read it is good that our fancy be unrestrained. It is more important that we should read a book which carries us up into the clouds or down into the sea than one which merely tells us that Henry VIII had six wives or something equally invaluable. It is quite essential to be accurate, to have facts at our fingers’ ends, as we say, to want to answer questions or turn to references quickly, but it is vastly more important that we should know what Thomas Edison did when he discovered electricity than the date on which he was born. Most of us give far too much time to details, to mere cramming our minds with lifeless facts instead of learning their meaning. We may know all the dates of history and stil be un- educated. They are educated who through their minds are not surfeited with names and dates, have hold of the truth of things, of the laws of cause and effect, of the things that le behind, of the growth of the world about us, of their place in it. Such an education may be ob- tained from well chosen books. But, love the spirit of adventure as we may, the wise reader will seek his interest in the realities of the world; in the true stories of our age which are more wonderful and thrilling than all the fiction of the pas . The world is full of many people but there are two kinds whose adventure makes up tales every day, as exciting as Treasure Island. In the first group we have the men who are work- ing on material things—making engines, motor cars, or flying machines. Will they ever fly to another world and really see if there are men on Mars? In the second group there are the men who work on the things that are not seen —the great kings of science who peer into the invisible, who weigh the earth, and measure the stars, and ponder over the mysteries of Life itself until they seem to be almost solving it. Then the secret slips away and men still wender where Life came from, where it goes THE AFTERMATH 1931 and what it means. Will they find out some day? Will these men give us long lives, kill all disease and drive back death? A wonderful and solemn thing it is to think of these two groups of men, one building up a mighty plan of material things, engines and wheels and wires, that seem to encompass all mankind; the other peering behind it all, ever finding some- thing new—until the day may come when the material things, the engines and wheels and wires, may no longer be needed, because we shall travel without engines, and get power without wheels and speak without wires. Are these mysteries less interesting because the kings of earth are trying day and night to solve them? It is only the true book that lives, the books that are as true to life as any made up tale may be. We should not waste our time on books that have no value in them at all. “A good book,’’ said Milton, ‘‘is the precious lfe-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose for a life beyond life.’’ Choose your books wisely, as you choose your friends, and you will find them ever faithful and enduring. You will find one, if you seek ‘t, on almost any subject in the world; in hope or perplexity you may find a friend in books and at the door of these friends you need never knock in vain. They will tell you all that our sages know; they will admit you to the com- pany of the noblest and wisest men that have ever lived. “The love of books is the pass to the realms that lie nearer the kingdom of Heaven than enything else on earth.’ In po- etry, in the Bible, in the good books that will never die, a man may find his heart’s desire. [ 46 ] A MAKER OF MEN; NL) ORO LOY. By BURTON CLARK N MARCH 31, 1931, in the }‘ttle town of Bazaar, Kansas, there occurred a tragedy which shocked the h earts of all Americans. Knute Rockne was carried to his death, along with six others, when the airplane in which he was riding, crashed to earth. Who was this person whose tragic death touched the hearts of men and boys all over the country? Was he a martyr who died for some great cause, a patriot who laid down his life for his country, a statesman, a soldier, some heaven-born artist or an inventor? No, he was simply Knute Rockne, director of ath- leties and football coach of Notre Dame. He was a man of the people, a husband and father, a citizen of South Bend, Indiana. Yet, had he been any of these great personages that have been mentioned, the tributes of admiration and affection which he has received could not be more universal or more sincere. What was the secret of this, his irresistible appeal to all sorts and conditions of men? Who shall solve this mystery and lay bare the inner source of the power he possessed? When we say simply, he was a great American we shall go far toward solving the problem, for all of us recognize and love the attributes of the true American character. When we say that he was an inspirer of young men in the direction of high ideals that were ccnspicuously exempli- fied in his own life, we have covered much that was unquestionably true of him. When we link his name with the intrinsic chivalry and romance of a college game, which he, perhaps more than any other one man, has made finer and cleaner in itself and larger in its popular appeal, here too, we touch upon a vital point. When we add to these factors the man’s sporkling wit, his modest simplcity, and his dominating personality, we can understand why he was so well hked. Knute Kenneth Rockne was born in Voss, Norway, in 1888. He came with his parents to America in 1893. It was in Chicago, where his family settled, that Rockne obtained a high school education and played h’s first games of football. He was graduated from Northwest Division Hieh School in 1907. After he received his diploma he worked as a mail dispatcher for [4 four years to secure enough money to enter college. Rockne was undecided as to what college he would enter when, as the story goes, he was talking to two of his friends who were intend- ing to go to Notre Dame. These friends sug- gested that Rockne accompany them to the Indiana school. ‘“Why, who ever heard of Notre Dame?” ex- claimed Rockne. ‘‘They’ve never won a foot- ball game in their lives.” However, the persistence of his two friends and the argument that he could perhaps obtain work while attending Notre Dame, finally con- vineed him and he enrolled at the Indiana in- stitution in 1911. While attending this university, he became an end on the football team and it was he who instituted the forward pass into Notre Dame’s style of play. Rockne practiced for an entire summer with the quarterback, perfecting this play which has made football an open, clean, spectators’ game. Asa result of Rockne’s prac- tice with Dorais, the Notre Dame quarterback, the Dorais-to-Rockne forward pass became fa- mous, and the Indiana team experienced an un- beaten season. He was graduated from Notre Dame in 1917 and in 1918 he was appointed Athletic director and football coach for his Alma Mater. The remainder of his football career and his life is well known to every American boy and man. For two years after he took over the coaching reins at Notre Dame, the “Fighting Irish,’’ as Notre Dame’s teams are called, did not suffer a single defeat. In 1924, he gave to the foot- ball world the greatest team of history. which included the famous ‘‘Four Horsemen.” This team romped through all opposition. Almost continuously since 1925 Notre Dame has been the dominating figure in collegiate football. Inasmuch as Rockne’s greatest fame came as a football coach it is only fitting that we should analyze his coaching methods so that we can determine the secret of his success as mentor and make clear the reasons for his tremendous popularity with his own players as well as with the masculine element of the entire nation. | THE In Rockne’s style of coaching, sportsma n- ship came first. An example of this will make the point clear. A veteran army lineman told of an instance in which he entered a Notre Dame game with an injured and well-advertised knee. His Notre Dame opponent on the opposite side of the scrimmage line inquired which was the injured knee and received a truthful answer. The Army star was not hit on that knee all after- noon. Rockne’s coaching ethics certainly had something to do with that show of sportsman- ship. Not infrequently Rockne used his ready wit as a means of earrying his lessons home. Rockne’s wit was such that he could wax bitter and sarcastic one moment and be exceedingly humorous the next. His biting humor always carried a lesson with it and the victim of his sarcasm always deserved a reprimand. There is the classic instance of the young quarterback who came to him on the practice field one day and said: ‘“Coach, I’d like to leave early today to do a little work. I want to go to the fraternity dance tonight.” ‘All right,’ replied Rockne. The player did not appear in the next game. Rockne explained, “I’m saving you.’’ In each subsequent game he gave the sime explanation until in the last quarter of the final game when the boy reminded him, “ When do I go in?” ‘“‘T’m saving you,’’ replied Rockne, ‘‘for the Junior Prom.’’ The sequel to the story softens it somewhat. The victim of this irony, which taught the ‘‘les- son” that one man must not hamper ten other teammates, was given a regular berth as quar- terback in the next football campaign. Rockne was a keen student of psychology and knew exactly how his players would react to his different emotions. On one occasion, Northwestern, one of Notre Dame’s major rivals, was beating the Rockne- men by a score of 10 to 0 at the end of the half. Disgusted with the stumbling of his players, Rockne walked into the dressing-room between halves, took one disgusted look at the players AFTERMATH 1931 sprawled on the floor, and snarled to Assistant Coach Anderson, ‘ Fighting Irish, eh; well, you can have my share of them.” Then he walked out. That the Notre Dame team went back into the game fighting mad and in two successive drives won the game 13 to 10 are well-known facts. Rockne knew just how to treat his different players in order to obtain their best work. To some players he was harsh and unbending, to others he acted just as a parent or a personal advisor would act. His popularity with his players and his abil- ity to bring out their best work were the main factors in his coaching success. Nowhere does Rockne seem to have a more human touch than when we realize that he worked himself to the point of physical ex- haustion and debility in order to obtain a for- tune for his wife and children. He coached Notre Dame, he ran schools of instruetion for coaches, he lectured on the air and on the plat- form, he wrote for the newspapers and maga- zines, he worked in the moving pictures, he joined a brokerage firm, and he became super- intendent of promotion for an automobile eor- poration in order that his wife and children would have something more substantial to live on than a library of fair-weather newspaper clippings, loving cups, group photographs of post-grand football teams and pewter footballs washed in gilt. The essence of Rockne’s character was its complete masculinity, a circumstance caleulat- ed to set him apart in an age which has some- how lost the edge of an earlier national virility. THe was a man’s man, and particularly a boy’s man, with a remarkable insight into the aspira- tions and tendencies of youth and an almost unique capacity for inducing the adolescent character to realize its +full stature and strength. 5 The lives of thousands of Americans have been colored, enriched and made more satis- fying by contact with him. Hundreds of other younger Americans are definitely the poorer for his tragic passing. [ 48 ] TOE ARPTERIMATH 1931 JEweN EO Gs OFFICERS President, J. Stead Vice-President, E.

Those who answered the call for the debating team were Alphonsus Beauregard, Richard Montague, Chester Ethier, Joseph Stead, Lawrence Bertrand and William O’- Connell. After much time and practice by both the team and the coach, the team was ready for the first leg of the tournament. The question was: Resolved. That Massachu- setts Enact Legislation Providing In Principle For Compulsory Unemployment Insurance to Which Both Employer and Employee Should Contribute. The affirmative team made up of Joseph Stead, Lawrence Bertrand and Chester Ethier, —_ alternate, defeated North Brookfield at North Brookfield in the first round and entered into the finals. In the last round, our affirmative team was victorious Over Leominster’s negative team at Clark University. This victory made them the champion affirmative team. The negative team supported by Alphonsus Beauregard, Richard Montague and William O’Connell, alternate, defeated the Spencer af- firmative team at Millbury in the preliminaries. At Clark University they defeated Webster, thereby announcing the championship. The sponsors of the debating league, Clark University, presented Millbury High School with a trophy which they are to possess for one year. THE AFTERMATH 1931 OMe Caries RA N the spring of 1929, while Mr. Pratt was principal, an orchestra was organ- ized by Miss Connor as its director. As the school years have passed, new members have been added, and different organizations have found the oreches- tra very well formed and the music excellently played. The Seniors have three representatives in the orchestra. Helena Mann plays a clarinet, Anthony Konisky plays a saxophone, and Everett Adams plays a cornet. The orchestra is made up of the following: Robert White ’32 Drums Leo Gravel 733 - Clarinet Josephine Beauregard 733 Piano Helena Mann ’31 Clarinet Everett Adams 73] Cornet Alma Anderson 732 Violin George Wilson 738 Violin Anthony Konisky ’31 Saxophone Francis Rollins 732 Trombone Ernest Lachapelle ’32 Saxophone Vitte Rudnickas “84 Violin Raymond Adams 732 Violin Evelyn Bergstrom “34 Violin Casimir Markunas 733 Violin Rita Gamache 733 Cornet Viola Johnson ’32 Violin John Sibilio “84 Tenor Banjo Paul Glazier ’32 Trombone This orchestra has been very popular and has played for Graduations, Class Days, School Plays, Memorial Day Exercises, Woman’s Club, Kiwanis Club, Debates, and the Teacher’s Institute.

Raymond Roach Burton Clark Martin Roach Harry Taft Harold Army William Ilogan Richard Montague ATHLETICS ITHIN the portals of Millbury High School lie many battered and dusty score- books which remain as mute evidence of many a hard-fought athletic battle. As one turns the pages of these books and notes carefully the names and aecomplish- ments of the different players, he soon sees that the class of 1931 has played a rather im- portant role in the athletics of Millbury High School during the past four years. For a few months after entering high school, we were engrossed so deeply with our studies and the battle of books that we did not con- cern ourselves with any athletic battles in which Millbury High School was engaged. During our period as awed and wondering freshmen there was not a single representative of the elass of 1931 on the various ‘‘first’’ teams of the school. However, some of the members of our class, namely Raymond Roach, Peter Army and Harry Taft comprised over half of the “second’’ basketball team. This team com- piled an enviable record, winning over many strong teams. When we became sophomores, we decided that it would add prestige to our dignity if we rallied more strongly to the support of our school. As a result, our class furnished an abundance of good material for the various teams. Raymond Roach beeame a_ regular ouard on the basketball team and delighted the home-town fans with his flashy style of play. Harry Taft also made the team as a substitute. In baseball, David Watkins landed a berth as [ 55 THE AFTERMATH 1931 La eae BASEBALL TEAM Coach: Stephen Manager: Dominic Beaton. Spitalonis. David Watkins Clifford Taylor Roy Brunninghaus Burton Clark Martin Roach James Stewart an outfielder, with Raymond Roaeh and Peter Army fighting it out for one of the other out- field positions. Both the basketball and baseball teams came very close to Winning the championshop. The boys’ basketball team finished in a tie for see- ond place, while the baseball team landed in second place, one-half a game behind the win- ners of the cup. Shortly after our enrollment as juniors, Coach Beaton announced his plans of conduet- ing an inter-class basketball tournament in the eym. In the ensuing battles our boys defeated the class of 30, but in time were beaten by the elass of °382. The boys who earried our class colors into these games were Raymond Roach, Peter Army, David Watkins, Harry Taft, and John Haggerty. Three of these boys gained berths on the regular basketball team. They Raymond Roach Russell LeClaire Gordon Breault Alphonsus Beauregard Harold Army Krederick Phaneuf Willard Blanchard Harold Briddon John Moorey Vhomas Hill Richard Montague Robert Moorey were Peter Army, who played a dazzling game at forward, Raymond Roach, who had devel- oped into a real sensation at guard, and Harry Taft, who broke into many games as a substi- tute. Peter Army had the distinction of seor- ing all of Millbury’s points in one game, The team experienced a rather drab season, winning and losing five league games. When the next baseball season rolled around, the lineup of the high school team contained the Burton Clark was at first base alongside of names of several of our eclass-members. David Watkins, who snared everything that came in the general direction of the second hassock, Alphonsus Beauregard developed into a speedy and dependable outfielder. Peter Army and Raymond Roach alternated in left field. 56 | THE AFTERMATH 193 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Coach: Miss Jane Sullivan Manager: Miss Elizabeth Grogan Captain: Miss Anna McAvoy Doris Caplette Dorothy Platts Edith Johnson Gladys Carlson Marjorie Caplette Marjorie Hamilton Mary Davagian Helen Hamilton Florence Drumgool ——_ on x | GIRLS: BASKETBALL KLIZABETH GROGAN ASKETBALL was the first extra-eurricula activity which sought the ability of the the very beginning we have furnished stars for the eirls of the class of 1981, Indeed, from team, In our first year the class was represented by Anna McAvoy, Mary Heslinga, and Marjorie Hamilton. Mary Heslinga won a letter for her good work as a forward. The next year Anna McAvoy and Mary Hes- linga appeared on the regular squad. Doris Caplette and Edith Johnson, other members of our class, joined the team. Marjorie Hamilton was one of the substitutes that year. Mary Heslinga again starred as a forward and won another ‘‘M’? for herself. Anna McAvoy and Doris Caplette, who played guard positions, displaved their ability in the game and were each awarded a letter. Our Junior vear found us again responsive to the call, Miss Jane Physical Education, took up the responsibility of coaching. The class of 1981 sent Anna Me- Avoy, Mary Heslinga, Doris Caplette and Edith Johnson to Miss Sullivan’s camp, After chosen, a few practices, the first Our four veteran members were se- lected for the varsity team. The team joined the Southern Worcester Coun‘y League which had been recently formed. Keen competition was apparent throughout the leigue season, The teams were closely matehed and the end of the season found the Millbury and Oxford squads tied tor the championship, The play- off was held at St. John’s Gymnasium in Wor- eester. The best officials that could be hired were referees for this gruelling contest which team was Sullivan, direetor of found Millbury on the short end until the last quarter. In the last period the girls rallied so that the last whistle found the Millbury aggre- cation on the winning side of a 28-21 score. In reward for the laurels thus won, the girls were presented with the League trophy. They were later féted by the Millbury Kiwanis Club and were presented jackets by local sportsmen. Our Junior year had been a great success in basketball, and we went into the fight in our Senior year hoping to repeat the feat of 1930. The team was chosen early. The entire guard line was the same as that of the previous year. It consisted entirely of our representatives: namely, Anna MeAvoy, Edith Johnson, and Doris Caplette. Marjorie Hamilton was chosen as substitute guard. The captaincy of the team was granted to the invincible guard, Anna Me- Avoy. Miss Sullivan egain assumed coaching responsibility. In spite of the faet that Mill- bury won all but one league game, the end of the season found the championship again in the balance. This time Northbridge and Mill- bury were to engage in a final play-off. The final geme was staged at St. John’s Gymnasium and our team was again suecessful, The team, this year, was also féted in return for its efforts. The Kiwanis Club entertained the basketball squad at a dinner and the sehool Athletic Association presented members of the championship team with sweaters. In parting, we have only the fondest memor- ies of the work. We wish to extend our hearty th nks to Miss Sulliv n, the beloved coach, to the Kiwanis Club and cther sportsmen of the town, and to the High Sehool Athletie Associa- tion, who have spurred up on and amply re- warded the class of 1981 for its efforts in bas- ketball. Wishse HE REFLECTOR has for twelve years been the beacon light of M. H. 8., through which we have proclaimed to all the world the liter- ary and artistic capabilities of our school. When we, as Freshmen, entered the school, we found the school paper a prosperous journal guided by the able powers of the upper class- men. Our literary genius at that time was la- tent: we were still too ‘‘green’’ to be a vital force in The Reflector organ, We did, however, have an artist to boast of and The Reflector staff was not slow in realizing that Marion Scott, a former member of our class, had artis- tie ability which might add adornment to Re- flector pages. In our Sophomore year we gained strength. Essays and stories gained recognition, while three of the boys were accorded positions on the publishing staff. As Juniors we contributed several staff members, but the guardianship of The Reflector lay still ahead. We yielded will- ingly, for we knew that the care of The Re- flector would be ours in our last year at M. H.S. During the past year the Seniors have given many members to the staff; several non-mem- bers have contributed to many of the special columns. In the earher part of the year The REPDECTOR Reflector offered prizes for the best Christmas stories and the papers submitted were judged by teachers of the English department. Mary Heslinga ‘31 was awarded the prize for having entered the best story from the Junior and Senior classes. Ruth Preston ’34 received a re- ward for being the best representative of the Freshmen and Sophomores in the contest. This year, moreover, a few new ideas have been adopted. The art editors are making il- lustrations for many write-ups besides sketch- ing an initial page for each department. The French students have gained recognition through the new ‘‘Coin Francais,” a novel feat- ure of The Reflector. All in all, it has been a most successful year. The honors can not be claimed entirely by our class. The Seniors appreciate the helpfulness that they have obtained from underclassmen in their attempt to preserve this heritage as they received it from their predecessors. To Miss Riordan we are especially indebted for the in- teresting and helpful suggestions that she has given us while we were striving to carry The Reflector forward. We, therefore, extend our sincere thanks to Miss Riordan who has spent much time and effort to place The Reflector among the best school papers while it has been under the tutelage of the Class of 1931.
