GELETTE Four years have come and gone; Our high school days are o’er. Still our ambitions lead us on, Although we linger here no more. a HE Class of January, 1928 entered the New Bedford High Gee, School as freshmen on a cold afternoon of January, 1924. a pase’! None of us will ever forget that first day. How nervous we ea were as we gathered in the auditorium for instructions. We ae soon discovered that for that day at least there was nothing to worry about for everything was arranged for us. After a few days had passed, we were quite familiar with our school and its customs. When we had been in school for about a month, we were summon- ed to appear in the auditorium for our first class meeting to choose our officers. We elected Kathleen Hynes as president, Grace Brown, vice- president; Sybil Crosby, Secretary; and Edith Chamillard, treasurer. These officers represented us at the reception given us by the seniors when we made our debut. The year passed quickly and we found our- selves sophomores. Few important or memorable events happened during our sopho- more year. Many members began to be recognized in school activities as they joined the Glee Club, Band, Orchestra, Debating and Dramatic Societies. Benjamin Berkowitz soon became a well-known figure in dramatics and Yetta Schwartz in debating. Yetta was chosen to repre- sent the class as the inter-class debater. In the second half of our sophomore year came that great event — going to school in the morn- ing with the juniors and seniors. We felt quite important going home when the freshies were coming for the afternoon session. Thus ended our second year. Next came the junior year filled with our lessons and activities. Early in the term we elected our class officers who were Roland Magee 14 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL as president, Sybil Crosby, vice-president; Ray Stanley, secretary; and William Ferguson, treasurer. Yetta Schwartz was again elected inter- class debater. During that year Stevens, Powell, McCabe, DeMello, Kubacki, and Strzepek became famous as gridiron stars and as seniors put the pigskin across for the glory of New Bedford High School. DeMello and Strzepek also won recognition on the basket-ball quintet, Powell, Stevens and DeMello on the baseball nine, and Howland Sar- geant was our track star. The last and most important year arrived and all of a sudden we were seniors. We first elected our class officers who were to represent us during the remainder of our high school days. They were Arnold Powell, president; Howland Sargeant, vice-president; Dorothy Kuech- ler, secretary; and Kenneth Campbell, treasurer. Benjamin Berkowitz was chosen as inter-class debater. We also were represented on the Alpha staff by Howland Sargeant, Dorothy Kuechler, Ken Campbell, Winona Sweet, and James Howland. Then, as we had been welcomed, it was our turn to welcome the freshman class with a reception given in their honor. A few weeks later we gave our senior dance which was, as everything the senior class attempted, a success. The second half of our last year was a busy time with lessons, social events, and class meetings. We met to choose our giftorians, prophets, historian, and the numerous committees. While we were seniors the Honor Society was instituted and our honor pupils were ad- mitted to membership. They include Howland Sargeant, Rose Betten- court, George Sistare, Mary Gelette, Helen Sitnick, Milton Hathaway, and Celia Pietrase. After much time and labor given by those who participated, our senior minstrel show was presented to the public on December 2, 1927. The talent of the class was seen in this show which proved to be one of the best productions of high school students. Much credit is due Winona Sweet who not only directed the minstrels but also took a leading part. Benjamin Morton, Stuart Cooper, and Ken Noyer also played leading parts. The four last and greatest events of the four years followed — the Prom, Banquet, Class Day, and Commencement. The Prom and banquet were the most enjoyable occasions to us while class day and graduation were enjoyed by our audiences. The last and greatest event came all too soon for most of us who realized what it meant — the end of school days for many who were to go into the business world and separation for those who were to con- tinue their education at higher institutions. As members of the Alumni we will look back with the greatest pleasure on those four happy years of school among our friends and wish those as much success who follow us as those who have gone before us. To Alma Mater we give thanks, And thanks to our faculty too. For those who will attain high ranks The praise is all due you.

I. Scientific Our president, the best liked and most prominent boy in his class. A great asset to the baseball nine and football team, “Arnie’’ is always ready to help in class affairs and otherwise. With “‘Ken” and ‘‘Paul’’, he is often seen tramping the corridors and streets. Popular with the opposite sex, his interests have been known to travel as far as Connecticut. ‘Arnie’ we hope you'll like Yale and expect to see you play some day in the Yale Bowl.

College We'll bet “‘Sarge’”’ has been the most active ‘‘valedic” in years, and if there are any other claimants to that honor we’d like to see their proofs. ‘‘Howie” ably represented us in the Council, he played a mean sax, he has barked commands with the best of them, and Broadbent will tell you what a good assistant editor he has been. But, — with it all, he has always been a fine fellow, and we all wish you the best of luck “Sarge”’. Second Lieutenant R. O. T.

July 12, 1909 John Muir Jr. High, Pasadena, Cal. New Bedford, Mass. College Charming, attractive, and sociable is Dorothy. We would like very much if she would impart her recipe for sex appeal, she seems to be using it very successfully on a certain young man, you all know who he is. Alpha Board; Senior Class Secretary; Class Prophet Banquet Committee; Delegate to N. B. Woman’s Club Treasurer KENNETH CAMPBELL “Ken” “Beans” October 26, 1910 Allen F. Wood School Los Ang eles, Cal. Scientific Our serious and sarcastic Kenneth. We hope that when all the class bills are paid that ‘‘Ken”’ will have enough money to buy a- fountain pen. He sure needs one. Was that romantic yjsit to Connecticut a success that Tuesday nite in November? We trust that it was by the warm reception that they gave you. A word to the wise: ‘“‘Let youth beware of woman and wine’”’. Take heed, ‘“‘Ken’’.

Commercial Rose will be remembered longer for her: excellent scholastic record than for her social endeavors, but we should not forget her activities during her senior year. Always a conscientious worker in her studies Rose has only recently become interested in the social life of the school, and we certainly hope she will continue to be as active socially as well as intellectually at Brown.

George, one of the reasons for the success of the banquet and the completion of this volume. An honor student without seem- ing to attempt. We’ll long remember you tap-tapping away in the Minstrel Show —— one of its hits. A welcome addition to any gathering, we know you will get a lot out of your four year stay at Yale.

May your enterprises of future years and your affiliations with F. W. Wool- worth be as successful as those of High School days. Class Historian; Honor Society; Glee Club 18 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL . EDNA ALLEN September 12, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. Edna is the girl with the curly locks who had them bobbed, She is a cheerful soul and may be seen tripping lightly along the corridor. We are sure she will be a great success in whatever she undertakes and we all join in much to our disappointment. wishing her good luck. A ti, a Lew e: OS Caz Hosea M.

College DOROTHY ASHWORTH SOT) ote October 4, 1910 New Bedford, Mass. “Dot” is one of our quiet but attractive classmates. She has worked faithfully and conscientiously. ‘Dot’? and Louise are going to hang together and be nurses. Somebody is going to be lucky. We extend to her our best wishes for success. Glee Club; Senior Minstrels St. Luke’s Hospital Fair and demure is our Louise, and such a winning smile as she has. She already has many admirers, and lucky is the patient who has Louise for a nurse. The class wishes you the best of luck, ‘“‘Weezie’’.

Amy may be quiet and shy, but she certainly has her ways — especially with the sailors. Amy we would like to warn you about these sailor boys, you know the saying that a sailor has a girl in every port. So just beware. future undertakings. WALTER BIENIA Walt’ September 16, 1909 Abraham Lincoln School New Bedford, Mass. Commercial Walter is calm and innocent-looking enough on the surface but he may be depended upon to liven up the dullest class and make life miserable for the teacher. We are not sure whether he holds the record for being spoken to in class, but at any rate he comes quite near to it. Whatever the future may have in store for him we hope he may be successful. Clarence A. Cook School Normal The best of success in all your Cushing BENJAMIN BERKOWITZ “Ben” August 6, 1910 J. B. Congdon School New Bedford, Mass. Scientific Cicero, himself, can hardly be compared with our “Ben,” for he is our class debater. ‘“‘Ben’s” favorite pastime is arguing with the teachers not to mention hobbling around on crutches. We wonder how it all really happened. Be good, ‘‘Ben’’, but stay away from women. “And all the world took notice when he spoke.”’ Dramatic Club; Debating Society; 8’s Interclass Debater First Prize in Freshman Prize Speaking Contest Dartmouth 20 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL WINIFRED MARY BRIGGS “Winnie” February 9, 1910 R. C. Ingraham School Nelson, England Commercial Winifred is the sort of a friend that makes us glad we came to “High” because in so doing we met her. She is always willing to help and never complains like the rest of us do. ‘‘Winnie” may be English but that doesn’t hinder her from seeing the point of a joke as quickly as anyone. Furthermore she is a fine sten- ographer with nearly a half dozen typewriting pins to her credit and the man who employs her will certainly be lucky. “Norm’’ April 29, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. NORMAND BUCKLEY “Buek’’ T. R. Rodman School Scientific “Norm” is one of our star soccer players. He has been a member of the team ever since the High School recognized soccer as a major activity a few years ago. When not playing soccer “Norm” has never been known to hurry; so we sometimes have cause to wonder where he gets that dazzling speed. Color League Basketball; Soccer ’25, 726, ’27 Senior Show ’28 MABEL F. CORNELL August 28, 1909 Parker Street School Lakeville, Mass. Commercial Mabel reminds us of the saying ‘Appearances are deceiving”’. She seems like a quiet little mouse of a girl but when one gets to know her she is just as interesting as anyone else. However, silence is golden and we expect Mabel will become famous before many of us are even started on the road to success. At any rate, we wish you the best of luck, Mabel. Business CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT 23 ABRAM DAMON SoA be” January 18, 1910 New Bedford, Mass. Damon is a quiet reserved boy whom we have never really discovered. He and “Jimmy” are great pals and are invariably seen together. The old adage “It is better to be seen than to be heard” seems to be Damon’s precept, but he is a fine fellow once you really know him. iPreayelke RAS DORA DAVIS oT) Ove May 29, 1909 Clarence A. Cook School New Bedford, Mass. Commercial Dora is rather quiet and we hardly know when she is around but still we are glad to have her with us and we shall miss her when we all start out into the cruel world. We think that Dora had a great deal rather dance than bother with her homelessons. Is this true Dora? Don’t forget us, will you? Glee Club; Senior Minstrels Katherine Gibbs T. R. Rodman School Scientific PAULINE DESJARDINS July 28, 1908 B. B. Winslow School New Bedford, Mass. College Stately and dignified is the only fitting way in which to describe Pauline. She is an accomplished violin player and we have thor- oughly enjoyed her many concerts. We shall expect to hear from her in a few years taking her rightful place among the artists of the world. French Club; First Orchestra; Senior Show ’28 24 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL STELLA ALICE DUPIN July 26, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. Stella — our French doll and fashion plate with snappy brown eyes and attractive way. They say ‘‘Ministers’ sons and Bishops’ daughters” but it should be French Teachers’ daughters for Stella is just brimming over with fun and pranks. AMELIA DIAS September 13, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. What, you didn’t know Amelia was a fine history student? Well neither did Mr. Ringdahl this past term. Just the same Amelia is a good sport and never gives up trying. We feel sure that this virtue will lead to her future success and happiness. Jireh Swift School Normal MANUEL DeMELLO “Rat? February 11, 1910 Allen F. Wood School St. Michaels, Azores Classical When ‘‘Fat”’ passes into school history along with the rest of us the school will have lost one of its star athletes. One of the best linesmen seen here in years, one of the most effective basketball guards in some time. ‘“Fat’’ will surely be deeply missed. Freshman Baseball, Basketball and Football; Football ’25, ’26, ’27 Basketball ’26, ’27; Baseball ’27; Captain Basketball ’27 H. M. Knowlton School Normal CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT 25 January 12, 1908 Fairhaven, Mass. WILLIAM FERGUSON STE all line July 28, 1910 B. B. Winslow School Fall River, Mass. Scientific Cheer leader, tennis player, class officer, singer, good student, and trackman. In every position, Bill has done his best. Perhaps we know Bill best for his deep bass voice. In the Glee Club, in several senior shows, and finally in our own show, Bill has excelled by his singing. Keep on trying Bill. Color League Basketball; Tennis ’26, 727; Cheer Leader ’25, ’26 Track ’27; Treasurer of Glee Club; Senior Show ’27, ’28 Freshman Reception Committee; Prom Committee Student Council ’25; Class Treasurer ’26 Me IAT: December 25, 1908 New Bedford, Mass. DORIS DELANO O21 Dye” “Mae’’ Allen F. Wood School Commercial “Dot” is another of our very quiet pupils, and one of the better type. Always ready to lend a hand, always trying hard, she will be remembered as a pleasing schoolmate and one who lived down the horrible fact that she was born “across the river’’. JENNIE FEINGOLD Allen F. Wood School Commercial Jennie has shown some fine work in her two school hobbies, debating and glee club, and we know the effort she has shown in school will carry her through life successfully... Debating; Glee Club 26 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL JEAN FERGUSON April 26, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. Among the many stars in French we find. Jean, ever arguing and ever giggling. And how sad it will be for Mr. Dupin when she leaves. May the success of golden glint be yours. Glee Club; Special Chorus THELMA GREWCOCK “Telly” July 27, 1910 New Bedford, Mass. Giggle, giggle, that’s Thelma. But that isn’t all; she’s a real good sport, and always ready to help one in need. Keep up the good work, and the best of luck at Forsythe. 7’s Dance Committee; Freshman Reception Forsythe B. B. Winslow School Normal DOROTHY FEINGOLD “oDOt. March 19, 1910 Allen F. Wood School New Bedford, Mass. Commercial We rather expect that Dorothy will not have to search very far for a position after she graduates. From what we hear there is one awaiting her now. If that is so, we all join in wishing her every happiness. Debating Society; Glee Club B. B. Winslow School Normal CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT 27 WILLIAM GLASGOW pill? February 28, 1908 Middle Street School New Bedford, Mass. Scientific “Bill” attended High School only as a sideline, for you may have seen him practicing his profession at Brown’s. He is also a firm believer in the old proverb ‘“‘haste makes waste”, so “go SlOWae soil VIOLET PRINCESS GILMORE October 5, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. In these days of bobbed and curled hair it is a treat to see Violet’s long, naturally wavy hair. Much time has been spent in admiring it. As to Violet herself, she somewhat resembles her name in that she is retiring and modest. Her long hair in no way interferes with her ability as a stenographer, however, and her employer will always have his work done efficiently and quickly. Glee Club ’26, ’27; Librarian ’27; Senior Minstrels Clarence A. Cook School Commercial Alumni 100th Anniversary Pageant Business DAVID GOLDSTEIN “Dave” April 9, 1910 H. M. Knowlton School New Bedford, Mass. Scientific “Dave” has not been quite so active in the past two years as he promised to be in his first two. Probably ‘‘Dave’’ has been studying extra hard of late for he is one of the few survivors of four years in the scientific course. R. O. T. C.; Debating Society; Basketball ’24 and ’25 Brown University 28 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL ROSE GINDEA October 6, 1910 Russia How nice it was that Rose came all the way from, Europe to be with us. She has been an industrious and energetic classmate and may her future be filled with many pleasant journeys. Glee Club; Senior Minstrels McGill University MARY GONSALVES January 22, 1910 New Bedford, Mass. We always thought Mary was very quiet but her friends tell us otherwise. Her work in the Minstrel Show and on the hockey field go toward proving their point. Senior Minstrels; Color League Hockey Bryant-Stratton Allen F. Wood School College IRVING GERSTEIN March 19, 1911 R. C. Ingraham School New Bedford, Mass. Commercial As a penman we are afraid that Irving would never win a prize. Still there are many other fields for competition besides that. As to where to find him -— just hunt up Walter and you will usually find Irving somewhere around. R. 0. T. C.; Glee Club J. B.

Wood School New Bedford, Mass. Normal Ruea is a quiet likeable sort of a girl who has not taken any great part in our social activities. She is, notwithstanding an enthusiastic singer and was a welcome addition to the chorus in our Minstrel Show. Glee Club; Special Chorus; Senior Minstrels WALTER GREENWOOD R. C.

No? Well, neither can we. A year ago “Ernie”? might have kicked, but not now. “BHrnie” is a good student as befits Howland’s chum, and has been active in our social affairs as well as the general school activities. “Ernie” especially wants to become a track man, and here’s hop- R.

Glee Club Tennis Fitchburg Normal ye Pa a By MARY SULLIVAN +o ay ee e A teem N September 1924 we entered New Bedford High School to 3 pursue a more extensive course of study. At first the big building with its spacious corridors and many rooms filled us tomines) With awe, and the “heartless” Seniors did their utmost to make us ay our inferiority. Bue ein reparation for this, the Seniors of the Class of ’25 tendered us a reception in October 1924 which helped a great deal to relieve us of our embarrassment; we no longer remained in awe of the Seniors, but a more friendly feeling prevailed. After having become accustomed to our new surroundings, we finally organized as a class with Harvard Broadbent president, Bernice Reed vice-president, Edith Small secretary, Edward Sherman treasurer. The remaining part of our Freshman year passed by without any achievements on the part of our classmates. We felt more confident in ourselves as we entered our sophomore year for which we chose the following officers: president Bernice Reed, vice-president Harvard Broadbent, secretary Preston Cook, treasurer Ormand Chase. Clinton Tripp was elected inter-class debater. Toward the latter part of our sophomore year an oratorical contest was held in the school. We are happy to note that it was a member of our class. Gretchen Buis, who was the victor. As a sophomore she was successful in defeating the other students who participated and thereby securing the prize—a tour through the Northwestern territory of the United States. The second year was now a thing of the past, and we felt rather dignified upon entering our junior year. The class officers for this year were; Harvard Broadbent president, Preston Cook vice-president, Theodore Sieminski secretary, Jane Briggs treasurer. Since we were unable to give any dances as 5’s or 6’s the year passed by without any special occurrences in school life worthy of mention. Before we realized it, our senior year had now approached and the officers chosen for the year were: Lawrence Markey president, George Gardner vice-president, Theodore Sieminski secretary and Normand Paquette treasurer. As Seniors last October we gave the usual welcome to the incoming Freshmen by entertaining them at a reception in their honor. It proved to be an enjoyable evening both for the Seniors as well as the Freshmen. Last fall a new organization known as the Honor Society was in- stituted in the New Bedford High School for the purpose of giving re- cognition to worthy and meritorious students. It is a.,pleasure to note 80 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL that nineteen members of our class were enrolled in this society as charter members. The students who won this membership are: Bessie Beveridge, Marion Braman, Jane Briggs, Harvard Broadbent, Gretchen Buis, Amen Coury, George Gardner, Georgette Gaudette. Pauline Goldfarb, Barbara Hersey, Samuel Horvitz, Colby Lewis, Rose Mc- Carthy, Edith McKenzie, Marjorie Maynard, Louise Perry, Pauline Slom, Mary Sullivan, and Eunice Turgeon. As our class has been fairly well represented in school activities it seems fitting to speak of their work now. In the line of sports, ‘““Eiddie’’ Caswell, ‘‘Ted’’ Sieminski. ‘‘Red’’ Pierce and ‘“‘Cy”’ Cole have been successful in helping along the football and basketball teams. “Johnny”? Simmons is known for his track running while Harvard Broadbent, Preston Cook and Strypek have done fine playing on the tennis courts. The baseball “Babe Ruths” have been Cole, Stankiewicz and Markey. The Debators of our class who have made a name for themselves are John McWilliam, who has been our inter-class debator twice; Florence Levinson and Gretchen Buis, who have both displayed their debating ability. Also, Emma Begin was a member of the Varsity De- bating Team in her senior year. In the various school activities, the class of ’28 has had a share. Some have taken part in the band and orchestra as well as the Glee Clubs wherein they have developed their musical talent. And too, Colby Lewis has won distinction by his service in the R. O. T. C. Harvard Broadbent as editor of the Alnha strove to further its progress and Jinnet Seaver, Jane Briggs, and Pauline Slom also served on the Alpha Board. Colby Lewis was cartoonist for the Alpha for about three years. Before going further, credit must be given to the girls for their efforts in creating an interest in girls’ sports. The varsity basketball team has been made up of the veterans—Mary Kenney and Rae Stanley from our class, and Alice Cornell also won a place on the varsity in her senior year. Henriette Gaucher has done good work in both hockey and basketball. The outstanding members of the Class who participated in the affairs of the Dramatic Club seem to be Betty Figgins and Barbara Hersey, who probably are close contestants for the honor of first place on the list. Both have taken leading roles in the presentation of that organization. Also, we must not forget to mention Colby Lewis as the great actor of our class. Then, too, Georgette Gaudette has been an active member in the Dramatic Club productions. Many class meetings were held during our Senior year, and the dates of our social affairs were fixed. On May 4 we were successful in presenting our Senior Vaudeville Show in the High School auditorium. Much credit is due the participants for their efforts in making the show a success. The Prom took place June 15 in the gymnasium, and it proved to be one of the gala events of the year. Senior Class Day ensued on CLASS OF JUNE NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT the twenty-second, and, according to custom, the Seniors held full sway. The Banquet was the next in succession of the many social affairs, and finally Graduation took place on the twenty-eighth of June. That excit- ing night had now drawn near, and it was with beating hearts that we listened to the valedictory and salutatory being delivered. The speaker of the evening, Dr. Charles R. Brown, made a very inspiring address to us, and then the long-awaited diplomas were issued—the reward of four years’ study. That Graduation night marked the parting of friends and classmates, and above all the departure from New Bedford High School and the going forward one more step into our future life. And now in June 1928, we, the largest class ever to graduate from New Bedford High School, have reached the goal which we set for our- selves four years ago. It is fitting and proper for us therefore to ex- press our deep gratitude and appreciation to the kind and patient teachers who have labored so zealously in our behalf. 81 | { t Prophecy a Lack ta! intel) Tata, © a CLASS OF JUNE NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT 69 Z AC Prologue Into the crystal ball we gaze, And in the future see The fate of members of this class, And what they all will be.
