Rodman School March 2, 1909 Scientific Cark , the handsome Swede, is our well-liked president. As an athlete, he has left little to be desired. Cark has the un- usual distinction of being a four-letter man. Vermont is for- tunate in getting such a good athlete.

Congdon School September 80 1900 College Webstel himself would lack words to describe Peg, Besides being our Valedictoixan she is by far the sweetest girl in the class and one of the most charming. It is not often that one finds such u combination of intelligence, beauty, and personality. We axe sule that Smith will be as proud to count Edith among its members as wc ale to count her among ours. NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL VICE PRESIDENT CONSTANCE MACOMBER CHASE Connie New Bedford, Mass. Clarence A. Cook School July 17, 1909 College Connie is one of our most popular members and has partici- pated in many school activities. A great deal of credit is due her for the excellent work she has accomplished on the Alpha staff, and we congratulate her for the many interesting short stories she has written. We all hope that she will follow the profession of the short story writer and wish her the best of success. Chairman of Student Council Student Loan Fund Committee, Six Dance Committee T. N.

Allen F. Wood School July 6, 1909 College Chris is the girls' representative to the Athletic Council, and she is practically the only girl in the class who has taken an active part in sports. She is rather quiet and reserved in classes with the exception of French, where she often bursts into giggles over one of Mr. Dupin's numerous jokes, or perhaps, one of Justin's.

Robert C. Ingraham School August 8, 1908 Commercial Lydia is a modest, but very intelligent young lady, which fact is proved by her receiving the distinction of being one of the honor students.

You certainly showed us what you can do by winning one of the honor places, and you are so young! What is the secret of your knowing so much about everyone of the subjects you take up? It is hard for us to be- lieve that you study all the timeg you're not that kind of a boy! However, we sincerely hope all your enterprises result in A's like your school-marks, Freddie Dramatic Club Business 4TH HONORS GERTRUDE PAGE SHATTUCK Bluie Philadelphia Robert C. Ingraham School August 21, 1909 College Bluie is another quiet, studious girl. She has participated in no school activities, but has spent the rare few minutes of her spare time at the Y. W. C. A. She is a firm believer in the saying, An apple a day, keeps the doctor away, and a staunch enemy of Mr. Bates.

Rodman April 14, 1909 Scientific Bob's two favorites are tennis and Women. He has previously devoted many hours on the former, but the latter now seems to have the preference. He is also quite a musician as he blows a wicked trombone.

Knowlton School April 10, 1907 Commercial Marian, so bashful and good-natured, would be a credit to any class. What we would do without you, is difficult to decide. Thankful for our good fortune in just having you, Mary , we sincerely hope the days to come will be joyful ones. Music Appreciation Business NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL STANLEY KENNETH BIGELOW KiBig7l New Bedford, Mass. Clarence A. Cook School July 26, 1908 College Stan has one Big handicap, and that is his bashfulness. llemember, The bigger they are, the harder they fall. To see him walking leisurely through the corridors, one can never imagine how fast he is on the tennis court. He is a second Bill Tilden, and we wish him the best of success for his future. Chairman of 8's Dance Committeeg T. N. T. Basketball Color League, '24, '25, '26 Brown University ALICE BARROW Al Mischief Woonsocket, Mass. Mt. Pleasant School August 1, 1907 Commercial Alice--in other words-sport, Even that very significant word, sport , is not broad enough to include her enthusiastic, fun- loving, and business-like spirit. Not too conscientious of her lessons, but a good worker--not a social butterfly, but a good mixer. If she continues as she has begun, there will be no limit to the things she may accomplish. Good luck, Alice! Class Book Committee, Dramatic Clubg T. N. T. Business Then Boston Normal Art CATHERINE ORVILLE BRADSHAW ilCal7Y New Bedford, Mass.

Pleasant School March 22, 1909 College We were afraid that New York was going to swallow Dootie up this semester, but we were pleasantly surprised to have her back to graduate with us. However we can't keep her forever, as the Metropolis is soon going to open her arms and take Gert away from New Bedford. New York University - - NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL DOROTHY MAE COLE llDOt!!

Sponsor Framingham State Normal EDNA CROMPTON llEdY! New Bedford, Mass. Robert C. Ingraham School September 27, 1908 College Ed should be placed in a glass cage and put in a museum for future generations to gaze upon with awe and respect. She is the only girl we know of who has not bobbed her hair and spends a large percentage of her time helping the church. Girls like Edna, nowadays, are few and far apart. Glee Clubg T. N. T. Bridgewater IRMA CUSHMAN New Bedford, Mass. Parker Street School June 29, 1909 College Irma is an exceedingly smart girl and just missed being an honor student. She is a Latin shark and can translate the most diflicult passages into readable English, an act which few of us can perform. We never hear much from her, but we all like her, and believe that she does not possess an enemy in the world. Orchestrag Motto Committee MAYBELLE BERNICE CASSILY New Bedford Mass. Robert C. Ingraham School June 26 1909 College We alwavs associate one of those sarcastic glances, and a My Cow with Maybelle. However, they are made in jest and have not prevented her from winning many friends. If you were tc ask anyone their opinion of our classmate, that person would immediately answer, She's a darn good sport. New Bedford Mass. Allen F.

James B. Congdon School March 14, 1908 College One hardly knows Joe is in school, he is so quiet and unas- suming.

Congdon School October 28, 1908 College Did you know what the trouble was when Miss Lane and Mr. Marvel seemed to have colds? They had only grown hoarse from saying Speak louder, please, Miss Enos. It is hard to criticize or praise Eugenia, she is so very quiet we really know nothing about her. Normal School GEORGE BATES ENTWHISTLE New Bedford, Mass. Clarence A. Cook School February 1, 1909 Scientific George, although quiet in school, is not so much so outside. During his four years, he has become very proficient in the art of throwing erasers.

College ff JIS: !f 9 Ls CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN Class History By ROBERT L. GENENSKY OW that the graduation of the January Class of '27, so long awaited for by its constituents, has faded into the endless eternity of other graduations, it is fitting to pause and review the accom- plishments of these last four years. The period of 1923-1927, allotted to our higher education, has contained in its history, a memorable record of struggle and achievement, and we, as a class, have reason to rejoice for having been able to witness this worthy ambition of ours. It is a remembered day, that windy day of early September, wlfen, scarcely out of our milk-bottle age, three hundred credible, astonished children, we entered the auditorium to receive our instructions in high school procedure. Much we marvelled at the material greatness of the edifice, and the prospect of being educated on so vast and important a scale detracted much from our blithe and cheerful spirit. Soon we grew less mindful of the gibes and grandeur of the upper classmeng our own self-importance was leaking out. We deigned to accept the Senior invitation for the Freshman Reception, and united in groups we beheld the spectacle of a high school dance. Some of us there really tried to dance, others held themselves aloof from the dignified Seniors, some were bold enough to converse with the upper classmen, and still others merely guzzled down two small cups of Mr. Bates' patented and self- styled beverage, misrepresented as punch , andmade a hasty exit, dreaming of what fools these Seniors be. The intermediate years-Sophomore and Junior-passed quickly and smoothly. Our only visible means of being aware of our approach to seniority lay in the advancement of our seating plan arrangements at Friday morning assemblies. We all felt a feeling of triumph, sitting in the orchestra section of the auditorium, and so escaping the ire of the Friday morning orator, as he flung invectives upon you of the gallery and upper shelf! Who can forget those Friday morning sessions! Those were the glorious day when the faculty omitted periods, and when with proper coaching a venerable speaker would talk for three- quarters of an hour at a stretch! Then a Friday morning was a thrilling gamble-a gamble of 6 to 1 that the period for which you prepared your lesson would be omitted. Throughout these four years the Class of '27 has given liberally of its members to promote the success of N. B. H. S. in athletic and scholas- tic achievement. On the cinder path, William Macy, Joseph DeMello, and Charley Silveira, have made the track team a real competitive sporting organization. Bob Allen lent his tennis prowess for the success of the tennis team of '25-'26, and he and Stan Bigelow could be seen daily wielding the racquets at the public courts. A leading figure in all and every school sport, is Carky Sundin- having prominently won his letters in basketball, baseball, football, and soccer. In the latter sport, Leo Bessette and Joe DeMe1lo were pre- NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL eminently engaged. Soccer, comparatively new in school athletic an- nals, proved one of the most popular games on the field. It had sufficient reason to be popular-considering the many excellent victories the team gained in inter-scholastic play. Girl sports, in the main, have combined themselves almost entirely in the person of Chris Nelson. Besides being one of the chief factors in the success of the Varsity Basketball team as well as of the Hockey Teams, Christine was manager of the former team and the girls' rep- resentative to the Athletic Council. Football-the greatest drawing card of American sports, has cer- tainly exercised its drawing power on the class of '27. For the formation of the team, Sundin filled the position of quarterback, aided by Elliott Ricketson in the position of left guard. Roger Turgeon, Bill Stratton fof hammer-throwing and shot-putting famej, Ike Davidow, and Al Lopes tightened the combination with excellent playing. Turning from athletic to scholastic and social activities, we recog- nize easily the fact that the fame of the class rests principally on the latter school functions. As oiiicers of the Dramatic Club, M. Justin Herman has filled the office of president, Connie Chase that of Vice President, and Alyce Barrow that of Treasurer. It is notable to observe that the gratifying success of the society was truly effected in the fine reception given to the play, The Goose Hangs High -one of the best productions in the club's history. From its folds we have reason to mention several finished actors in the persons of Elliott Ricketson, Hester Turner, Lucille Hemphill, Marjorie Ferguson, Pauline Newing- ton, Gertrude Haran and Dot Toomey. In debating no less than in dramatics, the Alpha Debating Society has included its president, Robert Genensky, who has won for the class the inter-class debating championship, and who was a member of the Varsity Debating Team, Marjorie Covill, its secretary, and Justin Herman, its vice president, and who was also a member of the Varsity Debating Team, and again Dorothy Toomey, its defender in the inter- class debates. Excluding the above two organizations, our class in its Senior year has contributed a memorable list of officers to the various clubs of the school as follows: Of the Alpha, its three editors, Constance Chase Justin Herman, Robert Genensky, and Isaac Davidow, Assistant Busi- ness Manager, of the now extinct Writers' Club, Lois Huddy, Justin Herman, and Pearl Langloisg of the Alpha-Omega Science Club, Nor- mand Roy, Robert Genensky, Dorothy Toomey, and Lydia DeMello, and of the Glee Club, Dot Cole, Doris Smith, and Pauline Newington. Besides the above, with our class graduates the highest ranking officer of the R. O. T. C., Lieutenant-Colonel Octavio Modesto, and Lieutenants Hargreaves, Rose, and Rainford. The orchestra and band, will be af- fected by the graduation of ten of its members. In the Cercle Francais, the officers, Lauretta Janson, Felix Fournier, and Evelyn DeMello will henceforth be conspicuous by their absence. Of the many notable events of our Senior year, none can be so worthy to the school at large as the establishment of the Students' Loan Fund-a fund solely devoted for the purpose of helping financial- ly, pupils who could not otherwise continue in high school. The fund was started almost entirelly through the efforts of the members of the Senior Class, and to prove their good faith in the idea, our class raised CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN- TWENTY-SEVEN for itself the distinction of being the first class in the history of the school that has contributed its class gift to so worthy and conscientious an object. The foregoing brief and very epitomized social history of the class of '27 is concluded. And now we turn to the last and most noteworthy lap of our high school course-the Senior year. The first important event of the year was the election of our class officers. Those honored were Carlton Sundin, presidentg Constance Chase, vice president, Edith Hanson, secretary, and Christine Nelson, treasurer. It was now our turn to promote a freshman reception, and to raise the wherewithal to produce the entertainment, we invoked the 7's dance. It now became the difficult duty of Christine Nelson to extort class dues, after which extortion, our financial condition was such as to enable us to stage the Reception. How different-being a host and being a guest! To the incoming freshmen we attempted to be condes- cending, patronizing, even friendly-and it is a fact that we far more enjoyed giving the Reception than we enjoyed receiving it. As 8's we inherited the school and its dominions, and ran off our first big success as a vodvil show, under the striking title of T. N. T. Then followed brilliant days, joyful days, the time that is the richest heritage of the Senior. Came our exclusive Prom, filled with the interest only a class dance can bring. Pictures, class books,-class pins, class meetings. Finally Class Day, bizarre trimmings of Crimson and White, exultation, the key to the school, our snake parade thru the audi- torium with hundreds of envious eyes upon us-Class Day entertain- ment, music, dialogue, speeches, etc. That was the life! Yells, cheers, sentimental studes rushing about, seeking to get their books auto- graphed by the entire Faculty! - Our banquet proved and demonstrated the satisfaction that can come with a hearty meal, a fine program of giftories, prophecies, speeches, lectures and dancing, and the happiness that is prevalent in a class reunion. And as we left the New Bedford Hotel that night we all were filled with a fuller feeling of companionship and friendship. And then that last notch in our high school career-Commence- ment. Impressed with the moment of the occasion, supremely dignified, we sat thru the formalities of the graduating program. Somehow in every one of us, there passed a tinge of remorse, remorse that, that evening was to be the last whereupon we would ever be assembled together on the platform of our Alma Mater. We made a thousand and one resolutions there, listening to the advice of President Lewis of Washington University. All too soon the proceedings were over, me- chanically we answered the roll call, and received that invaluable parchment, our diploma, certificate of the successful completion of a four year's course in high school education. And so it ends. The Class of '27 has joined that body called Alumni. Looking back over the past, we see clearly that the old Alma Mater has dealt gently with us. As a class we are now but temporarily dissolvedg we shall meet again as a class and renew the experiences of old. And above all, let us not forget that spirit of the New Bedford High School, to which we owe the advancement and culture, and friendship, with which these four glorious years have so abundantly en- dowed us!

Commercial “Rip,” our chief executive, is one of the most popular class mem- bers, and has ably led the class for two successive years. He is an excellent athlete, a good student, and an all round good fellow. We wish him the best success in life.

SIEMINSKI “Symie,” “Zimirik,” “Whity” December 11, 1908 Jireh Swift School New Bedford, Mass. Scientific “Symie” is the ideal of most freshmen. He was not only prominent in class affairs and athletics, but he was an officer in the R. O. T. C. One of the best athletes the school ever saw, he was the idol of all during the football and basketball seasons of ’25 and ’25. This tall, blonde boy was too heavy for fast basketball, but he was so de- pendable and sure that the team liked to play with him Captain of the football team in ’26, he proved himself a real leader of men, and we all sympathize with him when we recall the injuries which he sustained while upholding our honor and reputation.

Scientific The girls all fell hard for “Barney’—or was it his Buick? They say that “When Better Cars Are Built, Buick Will Build Them,” but we say that “When Better Girls Are Made, Barney Will Make Them.” We hope that the little white house out in Freetown doesn’t need too much money, for Franklin is our Class Treasurer, and that may explain why he collects money so many times during the year. At least it seems that he is eternally asking for it. R. O. T. C.; Student Council Treasurer .o1 sClass,. 25.026 Prep.

At that tender age most of use had but a very hazy idea of what high school was like, and it was with a feeling of excitement and also with a little fearfulness that we sat there in the auditorium receiving Mr. Searls’ instructions—instructions that somehow seemed none too clear to us. It was not long, however, before we were perfectly accustomed to the maze of corridors and rooms, and soon we were settled in the routine of school life. Early in the year we held our first class meeting, in which we elected Charles Washburn president, Thomas Chase vice- president, Anna Sherman treasurer, and Dorothy Reddy secretary. A few weeks later the seniors gave us our first introduction to the social life of the school with a reception, at which we bashful freshmen either did not dance at all, or, if we had the courage to try, we danced with members of our own class. With the coming of the sophomore year we began to feel more important, and we also began to enter more extensively into the school activities,.in which some of us later became prominent. Except for the annual election, in which Charles Washburn was again elected presi- dent, Marion Hoxie vice-president, Bertha Mitchell secretary, and Arthur Boardman treasurer, the year was void of interest other than the everyday occurrences of school life. In the junior year the class officers were ‘‘Riv’’ Tripp president, Sieminski vice-president, Lilley treasurer, and Washburn secretary. During this year the class gave its first dance, which was a complete success both from a financial and an enjoyable standpoint. This year, like the two preceding, passed quickly, and almost before we realized it we were seniors—those dignified beings whom we admired so much while we were merely freshmen. CLASS OF JUNE NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN Before an account of the senior year with its many activities is taken up, it seems fitting to give a rather abbreviated account of the achievements of the members of this class in the various school ac- tivities. “Rip” Tripp, Sieminski, Gero, and ‘‘Herb”’ Tiffany have taken a prominent part in all of the major sports, while many other members of the class, like Bassett who gave the aid of his steady playing to the football team, have participated in one or more sports. John Foster was one of the best catchers the baseball team ever had, and Bettencourt, Tiffany, and Bessette aided greatly in the success of the soccer team. Tatro made good as a middle distance runner, while Filipeck and Chase captured points for New Bedford in meets with other track teams. The girls too have had their share in the athletic activities of the school. “‘Peggy’’ Pate was captain of the basketball team in her senior year, and Anna Hathaway and Elsie Anderson also did their best to bring success to the team. In the activities of a more scholastic nature a great many of the class have been prominent. Miriam Davidow, Margaret Bertram, Everett Livesey, and Robert Vaughan gained commendation both for themselves and for the Dramatic Club by their acting in the semi- annual productions of that organization. During her high school career Miss Davidow has held the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary. Other offices in this organization have been filled by Margaret Bertram, Marce! Aillery, and John Turner. John Turner also won renown, both in the inter-class debates which he won in his senior year, and as a member of the varsity de- bating team. ‘“‘Bob’’ Vaughan and Irving York have also served the Debating Society in various capacities. The class of June ’27 has also supplied its share of those participat- ing in other school activities, particularly in the band and orchestra. Evidently the members of this class have a liking for music, as fourteen of them have been in the band or orchestra, and the Glee Club’s solo singer was Leo Bessette, who demonstrated his talent on numerous occasions. Brodeur, Chesler, and Ritchie have served as officers in the R. O. T. C., Brodeur holding the rank of major. Members of the class who have taken a prominent part in the other school activities are Bertha Mitchell and David White who served on the Alpha Staff, and Diane Fonteyne, Marcel Aillery, and Stanley Allen, who filled various offices in the Alphomega Science Club. The coming of the senior year brought a continuous round of social activities and long-to-be-remembered events. The officers of the class were the same as the preceding year with the exception of the secretary who was Bertha Mitchell. In the beginning of the term we gave the incoming freshmen a reception, in which we included the customary entertainment, dancing, and Mr. Bates’ punch, without which no high school dance is complete. Another dance was given, and a vodvil show that lived up to the 67 68 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL reputation established by former classes was successfully managed by a very able committee. The latter part of the senior year was made up of frequent class meetings, feverish attempts to get class books signed, and those im- portant events—Class Day, the Prom, the Banquet, and Commence- ment, that make up that last glorious year of school. Class Day and the Prom, the most thrilling event of the year with the exception of graduation, quickly passed away. Soon the Banquet, at which we all had a most enjoyable time, was also an event of the past. Too soon, it seemed, graduation, the moment we had awaited for four years, was at hand. What hopes and fears and feelings of pride and sadness were mingled that June night as we sat on the platform—hopes and fears of the future, pride in the completion of our respective courses, and sadness at leaving the friends of our high school life. At last, after listening to the delivery of the salutatory, the address by Dr. J. Edgar Park, and the valedictory, we received our long-sought diplomas—the result of our four long years of study. That June night meant the end of our high school life and the separation of the members of the class who were to go their various ways—some to college and others into the business world. And as we go our several ways in life may we keep in mind the pleasant associ- ations of these past four years and may we strive to be alumni worthy of New Bedford High School and worthy of the faculty, to whom we owe such a debt of gratitude for the education they have helped us to acquire.
