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.

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.

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.

16 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL Secretary DOROTHY KUECHLER OCI Monn. 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’’.
