Once more the happenings of four happy years at Millbury High School are but memories. Through the medium of this Aftermath, these memories are preserved for our future pleasure, so, may this book be one of our most cherished possessions. In days to come when we will have closed all other books of life; when material things will recede into the dimness of the past, this collection of reminiscences will remain longest with us—not a mere book, but perhaps a cross section of our life—our youth.

CLASS SONG Music and Words by FLORENCE ADAMS We are the class of 737. Happy and lighthearted are we E’en though we know that we’re embarking Upon life’s wide and dangerous sea. CHORUS Now, let us withhold the unwelcome teardrops That we may remember this last day As o ne that is clear and bright with sunshine, Not wet with the usual parting rain. So, farewell our dear, dear classmates, And our teachers honest and true. We will pledge ourselves to uphold thee In everything we do. You’ve earnestly tried to mold and train us That we might be known as citizens true; And may we live up to your endeavor, Surpassing in everything we do. Now, may we leave a good impression, Along the paths that we should choose, Of Millbury High School’s highest standing Among all other County Schools.

For some of us this is a glad occasion and for others it is a sad one. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our parents, whose unswerving efforts and sacrifices have made this day possible in our lives. We, also, wish to thank the faculty who have endured us and our doings for these four years and who have tried untiringly to prepare us for our future life. I, on behalf of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, do welcome you to these, our Class Day exercises. THE AFTERMATH 1937 21 CEASS HISTORY: CONSTANCE HEBERT For four years, we, the Class of 1937, have enjoyed ourselves and have striven together faithfully. As time has rolled on, and our happy school days have come to an end. we must, on this. our Class Day, bid each other farewell. Today we shall do something extra- ordinary by turning back the pages of time to a certain day four years ago. It is September 5, 1933. About one hundred boys and girls have assembled, eager to better themselves in various branches of learning. These treshmen, or “freshies” as we were called, were anxious youths and each defied the other and vowed to “get ahead” in scholastic rank. After a few weeks of getting acquainted. we were confronted with the subiect of selecting Class Officers. The election was a wise one, and the results were: President: James Little Vice-President: Roland Thorn Secretary: Eveline Latraverse Treasurer: John McElroy The question of election of officers having been settled, we turned toward extra-curricu- lar activities which were: the Dramatic Club, Debating Club, Athletics. and the Reflector Staff. We were represented in Boys’ Basketbail by Francis McArdle. The girls who were chosen by Miss Sullivan to play on the Basket- ball Team were: Florence Adams. Martha Dwinell, Dorothy Higginbottom and Alice Liu- bauskas. Those who held rositions on the Re- flector Staff were Barbara Manning and Doro- thy Higginbottom. After our Christmas vacation had rolled by Mr. Beaton called for candidates for the base- ball team. Our only representative again was Francis McArdle. Previously we had been warned of the “ever- Popular” mid-year examinations. After this serious and solemn combat of study, we anxi- ously awaited the arrival of the spring vaca- tion, which was scheduled for April. The Dramatic Club sponsored a play in which one of the freshmen, Barbara Manning, was starred. Finally, June arrived and school was dis- missed until September. We all left, gay and anxious to meet again in the fall. It is September, 1934. The same boys and girls have grouped about the halls of Millbury High, this time under the name of ‘“Sopho- more.” We were completely rested and anxious to continue our studies. There were changes made in the faculty during the summer. Miss Dorothy Cutts and Miss Catherine Riordan’s positions were filled by Miss Margaret Dono- van and Miss Helen Tatro. Several of our classmates had left school to seek employment but the majority remained faithful to M. H. S. The class held a meeting to elect officers and to discuss work for the coming year. Those elected were: President: James Little Vice-President: Ruth Cotton Secretary: Eveline Latraverse Treasurer: John McElroy Those chosen for Boys’ Basketball in the Sophomore year were Francis McArdle and Paul Eaton. The Girls’ Basketball Team consisted of four members of the Sophomore Class: Mary For- rest, Dorothy Higginbottom, Alice Liubauskas, and Martha Dwinell. The boys who ran on the track team in the Sophomore year were Willard Army and Rich- ard Church. Francis McArdle was again our only representative on the Baseball Team. Barbara Manning had a leading part in the High School play and Constance Hebert and Alice Liubauskas, in the Dramatic Club play. The following persons were elected to the Reflector Staff: Barbara Manning, Alice Liu- bauskas, and Dorothy Higginbottom. Being more grown up most of us went to the Junior and Senior Proms and again we were granted the usual vacation. Upon entering our Junior year, we discov- ered that another change in the faculty had taken place. Miss Helen Tatro of the Sopho- more English Department resigned. Her posi- tion was filled by Miss Mary Heslinga. 28 THE AFTERMATH 1937 Our athletes were as follows: Girls’ Basket- ball: Captain, Martha Dwinell; Elsie Orn, Flor- ence Adams, Mary Forrest, Dorothy Higgin- bottom, and Alice Liubauskas. Boys’ Basket- ball: Francis McArdle. Baseball: Francis McArdle. Track Team: Francis McArdle and Willard Army. A tennis tournament, under the direction of Miss Sullivan, was held. Those of the Junior Class who competed were: Rita Eaton, Louise Matson, and Barbara Manning. Our Class Secretary left school in March, thus necessitating another election. The offi- cers were: President: James Little Vice-President: Ruth Cotton Secretary: Paul Eaton Treasurer: John McElroy Barbara Manning was elected Assistant Ed- itor of the Reflector, and James Little and Dorothy Higginbottom were on the Seen and Heard committee, positions left by the depart- ing seniors. In May of 1936, the four classes held a play contest which was won by the Senior Class. The Junior play cast consisted of Dorothy Hig- ginbottom, Rita Eaton, Cecelia Turpin, Phyllis Spillane, Bertis Adams, Horace Montague, James Little, Florence Adams, and Ethel Ryan. Alice Liubauskas was the coach of the Sopho- more play. Cecelia Turpin and Barbara Manning had parts in the High School play. A typewriting and shorthand contest was conducted at the Becker Business College. Sev- eral of our class attended, and Millbury High School won eight out of fourteen prizes. As time drifted on, plans for the Junior Prom were discussed. It was decided that the hall would be arranged to represent a Japanese garden. Drawings were made and the Town Hall was decorated very attractively. Much credit must be given to Miss McGinnis for her splendid cooperation and for her good advice. The Prom proved to be a social and financial success. June had arrived and again we were given “1 long summer recess. Then the great moment in everyone’s life was at hand. The day finally arrived when we were to enter the portals of Millbury High as seniors. Each one’s heart was palpitating rap- idly. Just four years before, we had come through these same portals as freshmen and now, everyone looked upon us with envy. Af- ter finding which were to be our homerooms, we held a class meeting to decide which officers were to be elected. We chose the same ones as we chose the previous year. The Typewriting and Shorthand Department was also subject to a change. Miss Ruth Leav- itt resigned her position, which was taken by Miss Marie Walsh. Our representatives in Girls’ Basketball were: Dorothy Higginbottom, Captain; Rita Gosselin, Manager; Eveline Latraverse, Alice Liubauskas, Florence Adams, Mary Forrest, and Martha Dwinell. The boys playing on the baseball team this year were: Willard Army, Robert Burns and Francis McArdle, who was chosen Captain. Those running on the Track Team were Fran- cis McArdle and Willard Army. Fourteen Seniors were elected to serve on the Reflector Staff: Editor-in-Chief, Barbara Manning; News About School, Dorothy Higgin- bottom; Alumni, Ruth Cotton; Alleluiah Chil- lun, Richard Church; Book Review, John Mc- Elroy; Exchange Editor. Howard Whitcomb; Athletics, James Little; Movie Review, Ethel Ryan: Seen and Heard Editor, Bertis Adams; Art Department, Ruth Hayward, Alice Liu- bauskas, Edwin Bergquist and Mary Fowler. Through the courtesy of Radio Station WTAG, the Dramatic Club was given the privi- lege of broadcasting a series of plays. The artists were: Rita Eaton, Alice Blanchard, Richard Church, Cecilia Turpin, Barbara Man- ning and Bertis Adams. After our Christmas vacation, we were sad- dened by the death of our ever-popular and pleasant classmate, William LaCrosse. How- ever, his memory will live forever in each one of our hearts. The Senior Prom, which was held in Febru- ary, was also very successful. The hall was at- tractively decorated according to a showboat. A play entitled “Bashful Bobby” was pre- sented in April by the Dramatic Club. The cast consisted of three Seniors: Alice Blan- chard, Richard Church and Cecilia Turpin. Barbara Manning and Alice Liubauskas helped to make up the cast of the High School play. In the next few weeks, class meetings were called frequently in order to decide many prob- lems in reference to our Class Day and Com- mencement activities. The first question settled THE AFTERMATH was that of selecting a photographer, and after much debating, we selected J. Carroll Brown. The picture committee was Dorothy Higgin- bottom, James Little, Bertis Adams, and Con- stance Hebert. It was voted to graduate in cap and gown. The motto chosen by the class is “It Is Noble To Strive.” The motto committee consisted of Alice Liu- bauskas, Janice Boucher, Lucienne Vaillan- court and Constance Hebert. In May, another Shorthand and Typewriting Contest was held at Becker Business College. Our class was well represented and once more we helped to win our share of the nine prizes awarded to our school. Our Class Day speakers include: Class Pro- phecy, Ruth Cotton; Giver of Gifts, Bertis Ad- ams; Last Will and Testament, Rita Eaton; Class Statistics, Inez Swenson; Omissions and 1937 29 Corrections, John McElroy; Editor-in-chief of Aftermath, Howard Whitcomb; and Class His- torian, Constance Hebert. Graduation speakers in order of their rank are Barbara Manning, James Little, Alice Liu- bauskas and Dorothy Higginbottom. The Class Day clothes committee for the girls consisted of Mary Fowler, Rita Eaton, and Ethel Ryan; for the boys, Edwin Bergquist, Stanley Szlyk, and Julius Skamarack. And now, we are gathered here on our Class Day to be together for one of the last times. Our High School days have come to an end; our mutual pleasures, also. Some of us will study together again; others will take a differ- ent route in life. We part on this, our Class Day, June twenty- second, nineteen hundred and _ thirty-seven, hoping to see each other often and to have re- unions frequently. ou THE AFTERMATE 1937 CLASS PROPHECY RUTH COTTON While ransacking the attic this morning, I discovered a large cardboard box that was the essence of neglect. It was covered with dust, and even spider-webs. After a little dusting, I read in my own handwriting, “Graduation Pic- tures.” Graduation was many years ago, and the dress of these old classmates was exceed- ingly antiquated. To my surprise, I recognized almost every picture. With the pictures scat- tered about me, I fell to musing. A few tears rolled down my cheeks as I recalled school-day experiences. A desire to travel across the country in search of these friends arose within me. Surely, I would meet some of them. A salesman knocked at the door and asked me if I would be interested in investing in a trailer. Trailers were still popular in these days, and as summer was just around the cor- ner, many people were planning to spend their vacations touring the country in one of these convenient houses-on-wheels. The man was very obliging, and urged me to keep the trailer for the day to try it out. That sounded like a very thoughtful offer, and I did not hesitate to accept it. I was enjoying this novel ride so thoroughly, that I completely forgot about the time, and the fact that I should return the trailer to the own- er before evening. I had crossed the state boundary line, and was enioying the scenery in Connecticut when I suddenly awoke to the fact that a large clock on a steeple across the street was striking seven. After once getting started on the tour I had been planning in my imagination since I had been carried back to my schooldays this very morning, by tke dis- covery of those pictures. it was very disap- pointing to have to turn back. I was certain the man wouldn’t be angry if I kept the trailer for just a week or two. At the end of that time I would bring it back safely to him. With this assurance in mind, I continued on through Connecticut. Before I had proceeded many miles, I was halted by a very brazen officer. He accused me of speeding, although I knew I was not guilty of the offense. As I was trying to con- vince him that he was mistaken, the corners of his mouth began to roll up, and a pleasant smile was forthcoming. It was Merlin Cole, who had recognized me, and was trying to an- noy me. A quaint tearoom, with beautiful surround- ings, attracted my attention, and reminded me that I had not eaten for several hours. I could- n’t resist the temptation to visit this pretty place. There was a “Welcome” mat on the doorstep. I was greeted by the hostesses of this fairy-book house, Thelma Lynch and En- nice Hicks. A gypsv. Cecelia Turpin, read the tea leaves. and predicted that I was destined to meet with misfortune on my journey. How- ever, I was not superstitious and was iust as light-hearted and gay when I left as when I entered. As I drove away, I noticed John Ham- ilton, the gardener, mowing the lawn in front of the teashop. I had always had a yearning to attend an opera at the Metrovolitan Overa House. On the day I reached New York City, the opera “Carmen” was to be presented. The house was thronged with music lovers from near and far. As the characters were announced, I was thrilled to learn that Faythe Watkins was to make her debut in this verv performance. She was to play the title role of Carmen. The com- mentator for the broadcasting of the opera was Alice Liubauskas, whose voice was a familiar one to the radio audience. I decided to visit Radio City, and witness a broadcast from the NBC studio. The announc- er, Paul Eaton, was introducing three guest artists who were to participate on this partic- ular program. Two of these well-known per- sonases were the successors of Bing Crosby and Kate Smith. The crooner was—why no, it couldn’t be—yes, it really was, Raymond Mil- lott. The lovely lady beside him was Lucille Capistron, who charmed her listeners with her rendition of “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain.” The ace of ventriloquists, Arthur Woodward, was exceedingly well applauded. The next few days were spent in merely travel. When I reached Washington, D. C., I found a garage in which to keep my house-on- wheels, registered at a hotel, and began to THE AFTERMATH make preparations for a two days’ stay in this historical city, located on the Potomac. A sight-seeing tour of the government buildings proved to be educational and interesting. How- ard Whitcomb, who had always been very effi- cient, was private secretary to the President, James Little. I learned that other commercial students from our class had demonstrated their capability, and now held positions as steroera- phers and typists in government offices. They were Inez Swenson, Elsie Orn, and Mildred Hammarstrom. Virginia surpassed my expectations. The climate and surroundings were truly southern. I couldn’t pass through Norfolk without stov- ping at the Naval Base there. As luck would have it, it was visiting day, and the public was cordially invited and urged to inspect the ap- paratus and witness some of the maneuvers. The guide who explained the various features to me was Richard Smith. He told me that I must visit the Admiral, for he was an old friend of mine. The door that bore the inscrip- tion ““Admiral” was easily located. I knocked, and when the door was opened, I beheld John McElroy, who looked at me in a very stern manner. He evidently did not like the in- trusion, for he was entertaining a distinguished lady. She was the first to recognize me. She was none other than Barbara Manning, a lead- ing orator and stateswoman of the day. When she had been informed of Mickey’s where- abouts, she just had to pay him a visit. It was late afternoon when I took leave of the Naval station, and the sun was beginning to lower. The sunset on the water was inde- scribable. I had never seen anything so pic- turesque. I stood reverently on the top of a hill, and gazed in wonder. When it, at last, faded from view, I slowly retraced my steps down the hill. My attention was attracted toa group of artists, who evidently had just com- pleted painting this sunset. They were col- lecting their paints and brushes. I was curious to see if they had done justice to this master- piece of nature, so I walked over to them. Their sketches were truly works of art, and why shouldn’t they be, when the artists were Ruth and Eleanor Hayward and Edwin Berg- quist? I met Richard Church, a U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, who was continuously making speeches in favor of the old age pension for retired doctors. 1937 31 I learned from Richard that Harry Davagian had become President of the vast Chrysler Corporation. Remember the sleek Chrysler Harry used to bring to school on special occa- sions? Who could forget it? I enioyed the drive through the Carolinas and Georgia. Nothing exciting occurred, how- ever. The Sunny state of Florida appeared very promising as a resting spot, as I was be- ginning to grow weary. A marathon was being conducted at Jackson- ville for track stars, who had been chosen champion runners of their respective states. This contest was for the purpose of choosing a national champion. I was doubly repaid for any discomfort I experienced in standing in the intense heat, for Willard Army, the fa- mous runner from the region of Lake Single- tary, of which, strangely enough, the people in Florida had never heard. came in with flying colors to win. We always knew he would make us proud of him some day. I was strolling along the beach that night, when I heard a gay party of vacationers, as they frolicked about on the beach in the moon- light. Their voices were filled with laughter, as they began to sing some old-fashioned songs. the tempo of which has been dormant for many years. I think it used to be called “Swing.” As the merrymakers approached, I recognized a group of girls from my home town. They, who were fortunate in being able to vacation in this popular resort, were Rita Gosselin, Mary Fowler. Dorothy Hazelwood and Frances Tay- lor. They were employed by a prominent In- surance Company back East, as private secre- taries to the officers of the Company. Well. one couldn’t remain in Florida for- ever. I stopped in Alabama long enough to see what a large plantation was like. The owner, who was Robert Burns, had turned out to be a poet, perhaps because he was a name- sake of the immortal Robert Burns of Scotch fame. He talked solely in verse, which was very amusing. His young son, Robert, Jr., was the only white boy in the neighborhood, so his father thought it wise to engage private in- structors for the child. He informed me that the approaching young ladies were his son’s quite capable teachers. They proved to be Anne Gibbons, as the history instructor, Rita Cadarette as the English teacher, and the for- eign languages were ably taught little Robert by Margaret Brady. This was a surprise. 32 THE AFTERMATH 1937 As I was riding along. I saw two hitch-hikers, who looked familiar, as they cer‘ainly were, when I was close enough to recognize them as Eveline Latraverse and Marie Fenneuf. They informed me that the vagabond air, which seemed to breed in East Millbury, was upon them, and they had taken to the high road. I was beginning to enter the cowboy coun- try, after I passed the boundary of Texas. The wide-open spaces were a haven of rest after having spent so. much time in the crowded resorts of the South. The Dallas Exposition was in progress when I reached that city. They were about to choose the Queen of the Celebra- tion as I entered the vast Exposition Grounds. The contestants were Alice Blanchard, Mary Forrest, and Louise Matson. Alice was chosen for her rare beauty and stately appearance. I chanced upon a meeting of the Dallas La- dies’ Aid Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Wives. The president of this great organi- zation was Constance Hebert, now Constance Maynard. She informed me that Alton had discovered an oil well, and they were million- aires. As one might expect, Lucienne Vaillan- court belonged to this honorable society, for she and Connie would pine away, if they had to be separated. By the way, Eleanor Hafstrom was a charter member of this institution. I witnessed the dedication of the largest High School in the U. S. while I was in Texas. Two of the teachers, who had been chosen from many applicants, were Janice Boucher and Phyllis Spillane. Oh, yes, the significant thing, in reference to this school, was the motto,— “Positively No Homework.” As I was driving away from the dedication exercises, I encountered a band of Mexicans, on horseback, who were driving into Texas to attend the Exposition. The horses, upon seeing the trailer, became panicky, and caused such an uproar I became frightened and drove to the opposite side of the street, reaching my destination at the same moment as a huge truck. I was reclining on a bed in a hospital. Two nurses were hurrying about the room. Sylvia Swallow, who seemed to be in charge, told me to relax. She said the crisis was over, and I would have to remain in the hospital for only a month or so. When she said a month, I suf- fered a relapse. I explained that I was on a cross-country tour in my trailer and I posi- tively couldn’t stay in one place a month. The other nurse, Ethel Ryan, informed me that Doctor Hayward was on his way up to see me. The name was familiar. A handsome, con- genial man in a starched, white uniform, by the name of Alvin Hayward, entered. When ! was told that he would come to visit me every day as long as I remained in the hospital, I im- mediately told Sylvia that it didn’t matter how long I stayed there. The remainder of my journey was secondary in comparison with my health. After a month or so, I bade farewell to the hospital, minus the trailer. It seemed that the trailer was damaged beyond recognition, and I couldn’t afford to have it repaired, so I must make the remainder of the trip without it. I boarded a large sight-seeing bus in New Mexico. While passing a huge ranch, I saw the foreman mounting his horse. I immediate- ly recognized him, and asked the driver to let me off. I ran over to the cowpuncher, Edmund Kotel. He had followed his calling, and now owned this ranch. It was a magnificent place, and I listened attentively to the daring stories he told of his experiences as sheriff of that county, and how he had captured horse thieves and desperadoes. I stayed for supper, after which we attended a rodeo and dance which was held in a town just over the Mexican border. Benjamin Pierce displayed his skill and cunning in the rodeo. Edmund was so en- thusiastic I thought he would be in the arena any minute. The entertainment at the dance was superb. Rita Eaton, a graceful dancer of the rhumba, gave a splendid performance. Go- ing from one extreme to another, I attended a concert given by a philharmonic orchestra the following day. Florence Adams was the feat- ured violin soloist. This brought back memor- ies of our old High School orchestra. I won- dered what success Edgar Young had had in his career as a violinist. Florence told me that Edgar had surpassed Rubinoff, and now was the idol of the radio audience. His theme song was “The Bee,” of Jack Benny fame. Hollywood was the next place of particular interest in my journey. A new actress was rising to fame. Her name was written on every bill board, and her fame was broadcast by newspaper and radio. A second Joan Craw- ford was in the making. Gertrude Brady was her name. I saw her pass by in a new Ford, and just couldn’t resist waving to her. I doubt- ed if she would even notice me, but her success THE AFTERMATH had not gone to her head, as it does to most people, and she stopped. She saw me looking at the car with a grin, and she said, “Oh, you remember how I always was fond of a Ford.” I added, ‘‘Or was it the driver?” “I believe he is still residing in Wilkinsonville.” Gertrude was on her way to a concert to be given by Eva May, successor of Lily Pons, so I departed on my way. I wanted to see Los Angeles before I started back home, for I might never have the oppor- tunity to return to the Pacific Coast. I had heard a great deal of conversation about the Olympics, which were to be held in Sweden this year. I purchased a newspaper, and there on the front page, I was confronted with the pictures of two young people from Braman- ville, who were to represent Uncle Sam in the Olympics, Martha Dwinell and Francis Mc- Ardle. I chanced to meet them in Los An- geles, and they invited me to dinner. As I was very lonely and practically penniless, except for my return fare to the East, I gladly accept- ed their kind invitation. We proceeded to a restaurant with the name in large illumined letters, “ALL AMERICAN SPAGHETTI HOUSE,” owned by Edmund Burakiewicz, Stanley Szlyk and Julius Skamarack. My next move was to secure a ticket to re- 1937 33 turn home. I had chosen to travel by air. The ticket once in my possession, I started for the flying field. The pilot, an unusually tall man, was Horace Montague. I felt very brave when I knew that he was going to pilot me home. After the plane had started, the stewardess, who proved to b e Dorothy Higginbottom, came to my seat, and asked me if I was perfectly comfortable. Dot told me that she was very fond of her position as stewardess, but that she was on her last flight, for when she got back to New England she and Bertis were to be married. Bertis, by the way, was rivaling Walter Winchell in his column, “Sees All— Tells All.” I was back in New England once again. My journey was at an end. The salesman, from whom I had borrowed the trailer, was await- ing my return. He had sat on the front door- step all the time I was gone. I had almost for- gotten about the trailer episode. I tried to ex- plain my ill fortune to him, but he refused to listen, and demanded that I pay for the ruined house-on-wheels. As there seemed no other alternative, I paid the angry man. This wasn’t a very pleasant ending for such a delightful trip, but I would gladly do the same thing all over, if I could see these classmates once again.

THE AFTERMATH 1937 45 HISTORY IN THE MAKING BARBARA MANNING To-day, while we are living in comparative tranquility, not a country, not a continent, but a world is undergoing the most dramatic tran- sitional era in history. Other crises have included the Rennaissance, the Reformation and the decline of Rome, but never has a more tense period existed than at the present time. In Europe, all countries are terrified be- cause of the constant threat of war, and each of three ways of living, Communism, Democ- racy, and Fascism, is struggling for supremacy. In the United States we are not particularly concerned with warfare, or, rather, we may say our troubles are almost purely domestic. While we are aware of all these facts, sub- consciously, only, do we realize that HISTORY IS IN THE MAKING. In Europe the world stood by, spell-bound, listening to the voice of Edward giving his un- precedented farewell message to billions of people after his abdication of the throne of England. The Communists established a new social system in Russia, and Italy declared her- self an empire. Let us not remain with foreign countries! Here in our own United States there has been an exciting controversy over the President’s challenge of the power of the Supreme Court, a ghastly tragedy in Texas, a ravaging flood in the Mississippi valley, the organization of “Sit Down” strikes, the formation of the Committee of Industrial Organization, the debates on the Child Labor Amendment, the first steps toward old age pensions—all to fill the history books of the generations to come. Adequate analysis would indicate that an ever-increasing civilization must experience such periods of restlessness. Man is pro- gressing compositely. In science he is defeat- ing old age, curing the dreaded diseases of the past, harnessing the energy of the tide and sun, experimenting with television, perfecting the radio beam, and building the largest ships ever known. Politically, he makes attacks on the govern- ment and becomes more and more independent. The changes in our world may be likened to various epochs in literature. During the age of Puritanism ideas were constrained; the age of Classicism produced an entirely new group of writers who grew weary of the restraint of former times, and the Romantic era found the poets bursting forth with new spirit and a different attitude toward man. Psychologically explained, the political upheavals of to-day parallel these. What is the future to hold? Will a world war with its deadly weapons drag civilization to a state of barbarism? Will democracy fade from existence? What will be the outcome of the trend toward nationalism now so prevalent? A plausible solution would seem to be a thorough understanding of the transitional character of the period. With this understand- ing we shall build as HISTORY IS MADE. 46 THE AFTERMATH 1937 HORACE MANN, THE CHAMPION OF EDUCATION JAMES LITTLE This year, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, is the one hundredth anniversary of the ap- pointment of Horace Mann to the secretaryship of the Massachusetts Board of Education. This famous man gave his life for the improvement of education and for the public schools. Horace Mann, the father of the American tax-supported, free. public schools, was born in Franklin. Massachusetts, May 4, 1786, a little lecs than eleven years after the Declaration of Independence. During his boyhood, Revolu- tionarv changes were taking place in the young republic; the new government was set up; the country was settling down to work; the great West was opening new fields; and industry was increasing rapidly. Education, the keystone of all these advancements, was badly in need of a great and willing leader. One of the greatest influences in his life was the small library which had been given the town of Franklin by Benjamin Franklin, for whom the town was named. Mann once said in this connection, “Had I the power, I would scatter libraries over the whole land as a sower sows his wheatfields.”’ When Horace was eighteen years old, a clas- sical teacher, while on a visit to Franklin, en- couraged him to further his studies. In spite of his scanty previous education, Mann pre- pared himself in six months for Brown Univer- sity at Providence, Rhode Island, from which he was graduated in 1819 with first honors. After having tutored a while at Brown Uni- versity, he studied law in Litchfield, Connecti- cut, at Judge James Gould’s Law School, the first law school in America. In 1827 he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives and in 1835 to the State Senate. In 1837, James Carter, chairman of the House Committee on Education, with Mann’s sup- port. secured the enactment of a bill creating the first real State Board of Education, and this board, on June 29, just one hundred years ago, invited Horace Mann to be its secretary, and on the following day he accepted. Later he wrote to his friend, “I am no longer a law- yer; my law books are for sale. I have be- taken upon myself a larger sphere of mind and morals.” For twelve consecutive vears as Secretary of the Board of Education, Horace Mann plead- ed the cause of the free schools before a people who were indifferent, and many even hostile, to this movement with so much success that this period from 1837 to 1849 is now called the “foundation of the public school movement in America.” Mann’s twelve annual reports which gave the yearly status of the school system and its progress are still read extensively. In 1848. after the death of John Quincy Adams, Mann resigned his secretaryship to represent Massachusetts in Congress. Mann started his great work during the greatest financial panic of the United States, the Panic of 1837, but his hopes were not dimmed nor his achievements lessened as you can see, for the appropriations for public schools had doubled, more than two million dollars being spent in providing better school houses; the wages of men teachers increased sixty-two percent and those of women teachers, fifty-one percent; also, the compensation of the school committees had been made compulsory; and. too, in this period three normal schools had been established and had sent out several hundreds of teachers to spread education in all parts of the state. After becoming acquainted with the achieve- ments of Horace Mann, we may well bear in mind his epitaph, ““Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” THE AFTERMATH 1937 47 SEVEN WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD ALEXANDRIA LIUBAUSKAS The present age is one of supremacy in science rather than in art, and the wonders of the modern world are its great inventions and discoveries. Leading scientists have agreed that the seven most marvelous scientific dis- coveries are the flying machine, radium, radio (including telephone and telegraph), antisep- tics, antitoxins, X-ray and spectrum analysis. Radio has given the world instantaneous communication between places thousands of miles apart. The perfection of flying ma- chines aid in revolutionizing transportation and military tactics. Antiseptics as used in medicine and surgery have saved numerable lives, as have antitoxins, radium and the X-ray. Spectrum analysis has permitted an insight into worlds that seemed forever sealed to us, for it shows the chemical composition of the stars in space. The connection between radium, the X-ray and spectrum analysis and their rela- tions to the newer knowledge of the structure of matter are marvelous accomplishments. Let us consider each one separately so that we may more clearly see why these should be considered wonders: In aircraft, the spectacular achievements represent the culmination of experiments and inventions that began in the days of ancient mythology. And radio, which remains for us the eternal miracle, is also more or less the expression, the outgrowth of a very old desire. The legendary account of the birth of Minerva, Roman god- dess of wisdom—how she sprang full grown from the head of Jupiter, clad in shining ar- mor and singing a song of triumph—reminds one of the miracles of radio which so rapidly have become a part of modern life. Radium is an element, the discovery of which marked another epoch in the progress of modern science. The element was so named by its discoverers, Professor and Madame Curie, because it possesses, to an extraord‘nary degree, the power of emitting a certain radia- tion that penetrates opaque objects. It is used in curing certain forms of cancer and growths such as the tumor. Antiseptic, another achievement, kills the microorganisms which cause infection and de- cay. The systematic and scientific use of anti- septic began with the research and chemical work of Joseph Lister, who based his methods on the discoveries of Louis Pasteur. Antiseptic has found a modern field. mainly in surgery. Antitoxin. a substance which antidotes or neutralizes body poisons, includes vaccines and all iniections which ward off bacterial annoy- ances. The relation of the X-ray which was discov- ored by Welhelm Roentgen to modern surgery is of fundamental importance. By means of the X-rav shadow pictures, which reveal frac- tures, hidden obiects, lung tuberculosis. tu- mors, and cancers, the surgeon may avoid un- necessary operations. For spectrum analysis we owe our gratitude to Sir Isaac Newton, who. while trying to elim- inate the color fringes given by the telescopic lenses of his time, discovered that the fault might lie in the character of light itself. He started to study how light formed colors, using glass prisms as analyzers. By his many ex- periments Newton revealed to us the nature of color. Do you not agree that these are, indeed, won- ders? As we consider the accomplishments of the modern world wonders. mav we live on to help in future inventions and _ discoveries which may, in their turn, be considered won- ders of the future world. 48 THE AFTERMATH 1937 THOMAS BLANCHARD—INVENTOR DOROTHY HIGGINBOTTOM Thomas Blanchard. born June 25, 1788, was one of the greatest inventors of this country. Like Morse, McCormick, and Goodyear, he has contributed to our means of living, but in place of their one great invention, he has given us several different labor-saving devices. No armory exists, no human being walks, no home is cared for, no ship sails but what a tribute is paid to this man. Samuel Blanchard, an industrial farmer in that part of Sutton called the “Oxford Gore’, maintained a blacksmith shop. His young son spent many hours of pleasure with the forge and anvil experimenting with heat and metal. At the early age of nine he showed the inven- tive turn of his mind by attempting, unsuc- cessfully, however, to construct a forge for welding iron. At the age of thirteen, an apple- paring machine, which encouraged him to con- struct other labor-saving devices, was realized. His first perfected invention to be widely recognized was the tack-producing machine. At this time he noticed the slow production of tacks by hand in his brother’s shop in West Millbury. From the desire to invent something to hasten production, a machine which would produce five hundred tacks a minute, with fully finished points and heads, was evolved. He sold this invention for five thousand dollars, a sum which today would be considered very small indeed. Zi Another of Mr. Blanchard’s inventions, per- haps the most valuable and best known, was the lathe. This lathe, used for turning the gun barrel, was mistakinelv believed to have been invented in Springfield, because immediately after being perfected. it was brought to the armory at Springfield for use. Later, when another was made, the original was returned to Millbury to be used in the Water’s armory. The idea did not come to him overnight; he had to work constantly for two years on this in- vention. Mr. Blanchard studied the model of the lathe invented by the proprietor in the Asa Water’s armory and soon developed the eccen- tric lathe which was needed for turning the breech end of the gun. He secured a patent on this machine September 6, 1819. In 1841 Mr. Blanchard moved to New York City where he remained for two years; then he moved to Boston where he stayed until his death, April 16, 1864. In addition to these inventions which I have mentioned, there are many more used in our every-day life. Perhaps we do not think of them as being connected with Thomas Blan- chard’s name; but if we were to do a little re- search work on the origin of these devices, we should find that they are the work of this great genius whose life was, for many years, closely associated with Millbury.

The staff chose Dorothy Higginbottom to write for Seen and Heard in our sophomore vear. Barbara Manning served as Assistant Editor and Alice Liubauskas was a member of the Art Department. Gradually increasing our predominance through the years, our predecessors selected Barbara Manning once again as Assistant Ed- itor, and James Little and Dorothy Higgin- bottom as the junior representatives of Seen and Heard. Behold the names of Seniors! Editor-in-chief, Barbara Manning; News About School, Dorothy Higginbottom; Alumni. Ruth Cotton; Alleluiah Chillin. Richard Church; Book Review, John McElrov; Ex- change Editor, Howard Whitcomb: Athletics, James Little; Movie Review. Ethel Ryan; Seen and Heard Editor, Bertis Adams; Art Depart- ment, Ruth Hayward, Eleanor Hayward, Alice Liubauskas, Edwin Bergquist, and Mary Fowler. This year we followed the example of sur- rounding schools for variety’s sake and for financial reasons, and printed our own paper. We also added several new departments. We take this opportunity to thank everyone who has aided in making our novel venture a success. To Miss Dorris Horne and Miss Marie Walsh we extend our sincere appreciation for their cooperation. We feel no qualms in leaving the Reflector in the hands of our capable successors and we wish them every possible good fortune. GLEE CLUB CONSTANCE HEBERT The Glee Club this year has welcomed a new director. Miss Katherine Bowe. Miss Bowe of the Butler School of Music was chosen by the School Committee to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Eileen Griffin. The Glee Club, composed of sixty-five mem- bers, has a representation from each class. Plans have been made for a musical program to be given on graduation night. The selections which are to be rendered are “Kentucky Babe,’ “The Cheery Lights of Home,” “Under the Banner of Victory,” and the “Graduates’ Farewell Song,” presented by the Senior Class. The soloists are Lucienne Vaillancourt, Barbara Manning, Florence Adams, and Faythe Watkins. The Glee Club may justly be proud of having such a fine teacher and friend. I, in behalf of the Senior Class, extend to Miss Bowe our most sincere wishes for suc- cess in future years. THE AFTERMATH 1937 D3 TOE DRAMATIC ClLUB RITA EATON Once again the Dramatic Club, under the careful and untiring guidance of Miss Hes- linga, has experienced a very successful year. At the first of the year there was an enrollment of one hundred and thirty-five members in the club. The officers were as follows: President, James Little; Secretary, Rita Eaton; Treasur- er, Emmett Fink; Reporter, Barbara Manning. On the executive committee were Dorothy Higginbottom, Inez Swenson, Richard Church, Ethel Ryan, and Margaret Marlborough. Our meetings were held twice a month. At the beginning of the school year we hiked to Purgatory, where we held a hot-dog roast and initiated the new members. In October the club had a Halloween party at which there were a ghost walk, scavenger hunt. games, dancing and refreshments. We also held a dance at the hich school assembly hall in November. The members have attended dramatic productions at Clark College twice, where they had the pleasure of seeing the plays, “Squaring The Circle” and “Beyond The Horizon.” At last the month that we all eagerly antici- pated came—December. It was the month that the annual Athletic Association Play was to be presented. Under the direction of Miss Hes- linga, the play, “Squaring The Circle,” was presented and was nroclaimed a success. The cast was: Emmett Fink. Rita Paletta. Barbara Manning. William Fitch, John Liubauskas, Raymond Goodney. Martin Little, James Little, Hazel Anderson. Richard Church, Dorothy Provo and Rita Cournoyer. In February the members enjoyed a day skating on Ramshorn Pond, West Millbury. We have again apvveared in public to present the comedy, “Bashful Bobby.” The senior class was represented in this plav bv Alice Liubaus- kas, Alice Blanchard and Cecelia Turpin. On alternate months, the members of the club have presented a short drama over station WTAG. These have been educational and have also helped the students to gain self-con- fidence and poise. We. the Senior Class of 1937, feeling certain that the ioyful vears we have spent with the club, will remain in our minds for years to come, now bid our last farewell to the Dramatic Club and wish the new officers, members and director, Miss Heslinga, a very successful future. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL RITA GOSSELIN Our class was well represented on the bas- ketball team during our Freshman year, with Florence Adams as a regular, and Martha Dwinell, Dorothy Higginbottom, Alice Liu- bauskas, and Mary Forrest as substitutes. In our Sophomore year, Florence Adams was unable to play on the team, but the four girls who were substitutes during our Fresh- man year secured regular positions. The fol- lowing players were awarded letters: Martha Dwinell, Dorothy Higginbottom, Alice Liu- bauskas, and Mary Forrest. We witnessed sev- eral victories during the year, our team being under the capable guidance of Coach Jane Sullivan. In our Junior year, Martha Dwinell was elected captain of the team. Florence Adams was able to be with us once more, and the five girls of the basketball team again were award- ed letters. The nlayers were: Martha Dwinell, Dorothy Higginbottom, Alice Liubauskas, Mary Forrest and Florence Adams. As Seniors, Dorothy Higginbottom was elected captain of the team. To our surprise Miss Jane Sullivan resigned in order to take a position in the Worcester Schools. Her posi- tion, however, was adequately filled by her sister, Miss Mary Sullivan. Under the capable guidance and direction of Miss Sullivan our team was undefeated. To our Coach, Miss Sullivan, we offer our hearty and sincere wish- es for future success in coaching the Girls’ Basketball Team of Millbury High School. 04 THE AFTERMATH 1937 ATHLETICS JOHN HAMILTON Francis McArdle is the outstanding athlete in the Senior Class. He started his basebail career in 1934 and continued to play on the baseball team until 1937, in which year he was elected captain by his teammates. He won the praise and admiration of all those who wit- nessed his playing on the baseball diamond. Jesse’s skill in handling a ball was not limited to baseball, as was seen by his skill in playing basketball. He vlayed on the basketball team for two years, also being elected captain of that team in his senior year. In addition to his play- ing on the above-mentioned teams, he gave his services for two years in managing a very suc- cessful track team. Since he has earned eight letters, he is entitled to a gol d basketball, an award which few have obtained. The senior class can be truly proud to have such an ath- lete as Franny, and hopes that he may continue his colorful career in sports, which was so ably started in high school. Willard Army, another athlete of the Senior Class, also has had an interesting and varied career. The greatness of his ability was shown in his track record. Through diligent and hard training and by following instructions, he be- came the captain of the track team in his senior year. He won many prizes in the annual Knights of Columbus track meet in which the contestants were well-matched and competition was keen. It is unfortunate that he did not become interested in basketball and baseball until his iunior and senior years respectively. During his junior vear, he plaved on the sec- ond team in basketball, and in his senior year, he received a position on the first squad, play- ing like a veteran. In his senior year, he plaved on the baseball team with the same ability that was characteristic of all his work. Robert Burns did not varticinate in sports until his senior year. and then he became an active and able member of both the basketball and baseball teams. We regret that Bob did not take an active interest in baseball and bas- ketball before his last year, because we are sure that he would have enjoyed a successful career. Paul Eaton limited his activities to baseball in which game he held a position of reserve Pitch- er. His dependability and great work have brought victory to the team and credit to his class. Raymond Millott certainly deserves recogni- tion for his work in managing the baseball team in his senior year. He was liked by all the boys on the team, and they showed their ap- preciation by their cooperation and by their splendid showing under his management. Although we are proud of our athletes, we realize that they won recognition because of the training of their coach, Mr. Beaton. Mr. Beaton takes a whole-hearted interest in each one of the boys and we hope that he will see many victories as a result of his good work.
