In the lobby the confused sounds of sudden greetings mingled with the lower tone of steady conversation. Everywhere happy recollections and memories of former days were exchanged. Old friends, reunited, threw off their new worries for that night in February, 1946, and for this short time felt able to return to the carefree ways of their years at New Bedford High School. In a corner of the lounge two young men of about thirty years sat together, speaking, as was everyone else, of their school- days. “By George!” exclaimed the taller of the two, ‘“‘Those were the days! Say, do you remember our football team? Let me tell you, son, that team was positively the best in the state.”’ The speaker’s companion smiled amusedly at the tall chap’s ardor. “And yet they lost to Durfee—of course, after keeping their record clean for twenty-six games.”’ “Durfee! Durfee!’ snorted the indignant fan. ‘‘What we didn’t do to Durfee isn’t worth telling. The game you're think- ing of is that Cambridge Rindge Tech game. We lost that one by one point, and let me tell you we deserved to win.”’ be “T’m sure it was Durfee,’’ reiterated the shorter of the two. “We'll settle that question right now,” shot back the thor- oughly aroused fan. “Durfee? huh! Who has a copy of the Quadrennial?’’ he demanded in stentorian tones. At last some loyal member of the Class produced his copy. With the fire of determination in his eye the tall chap turned to the correct page and began to read: CLASS HISTORY By EDITH WALTON At our first class meeting the Freshmen who were to gradu- ate in 1934 elected as their officers Leonard Knowles, President; Leonard Harris, Vice-President, and Dorothy Rogers, Treasurer. Boris Yucht was made inter-class debater. A few short weeks later our class made its social debut. At the Freshman Reception tendered us by the Senior Class, we felt a bit awed but tremendously important. What a charming memory we have of that pleasant evening spent in dancing and rubbing elbows with grown-up Seniors. The remainder of that first year was spent quietly, the class adapting itself to the environment of the school. Almost before we realized it, the Freshman year was a thing of the past and the Sophomore year was at hand. The number in our class was augmented by the entrance of students from the two Junior Highs. Thus fortified, we met again to choose our class leaders. The class elected Leonard Harris as President, Alice Morde, Vice-President; Donald Men- delson, Secretary, and Alice Ward, Treasurer. A short time later Bernice Caswell succeeded Miss Ward as Treasurer of the Sophomores. As Sophomores, we went, for the most part, quietly on our High School careers. A few of our classmates began to branch out into various activities The societies of the school had a fair quota of our fellow students, and sports were not neglected. Now the Class of January, 1934, entered the third year of High School life. Their first official act was the election of officers. This time Donald Mendelson was voted President, with Catherine MacDonald, Vice-President; Lillian Cushman, Secre- tary, and Helen Baumann, Treasurer. It was during our Junior Year that the class found its repu- tation increasing. The officers of the Debating Society were Boris Yucht, President; Ozores Perry, Vice-President, and Edgar Taber, Treasurer. The Varsity Debating Team helped mate- rially to bring honor to our school by winning the Brown Inter- scholastic Debating Cup. Our class was more than well repre- sented in athletics, the R. O. T. C., the Honor Society, the Dramatic Club, and above all in the Girls’ Welfare League. It was through the help of various members of our class that a traffic system was successfully inaugurated. NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL The Junior Year passed in a seemingly short time. At our first election as Seniors we elected Leonard Harris as President, Donald Mendelson, Vice-President; Dagmar Potter, Treasurer, and Genevieve Wroblinski, Secretary. When Leonard Harris left school to go to Connecticut, Donald Mendelson was chosen President and Boris Yucht succeeded him in the Vice-Presidency. At the first Senior Class meeting it was decided to run a novelty dance in the form of a Nautical Hop. This dance was a huge success both financially and socially. It was generally agreed that the Hop was one of the finest dances held in the High School in recent years. During this final year our class really came into its own. Donald Mendelson became President of the Student Coun- cil, and Dagmar Potter was made Treasurer of this representative organization. Alice Morde was President, and Irene Comeau, Secretary- Treasurer of the Girls’ Welfare League. Half of the League’s members belong to our class. Boris Yucht was President of the Honor Society as well as Chief Justice of the Student Court. Helen Baumann, Helen Weston, Stanley Gorzelnik and David Beaman were Associate Justices of the Student Court, and Henry Connell, Clerk of the Court. Edgar Taber was Vice-President and Lillian Cushman, Sec- retary of the Honor Society. Members of the class participated in athletics to a great extent, especially football. Although the football team was un- defeated for twenty-six consecutive games, they finally lost to Cambridge Rindge Tech, by the score of 13 to 12. Henry Kasup was one of the foremost forward pass receivers in the state: John Spencer was an “iron man” on the team; Henry Mogilnicki became known as the ‘“‘fighting tackle’; Roland Hall, Eddie Dziubezyk, ‘‘Don’’ Mendelson, Richard Lapienski, Isadore Alberts, and Hammond Bender all helped to make New Bed- ford’s football team contenders for the state championship for two successive years. Basketball, another popular sport, will lose Henry Kasup, Gerard Aillery, Isadore Alberts, and John Spencer. Captain Albert Doras, Titonio Oliveira, and Ray Sanderson played on the undefeated soccer team. “Izzy’’ Feinstein and Leonard Harris represented our class in tennis, and John Spencer, Eddie Dziubczyk, Donald Mendelson, Charles Riley, and Irvine Kestenbaum were track members. Ray Blackburn was first string catcher on the baseball team, and Tony Oliveira was also a member of the squad, 61 THE QUADRENNIAL The Dramatic Club will lose Edgar Taber, a most versatile actor, as well as Edith Swift, Doran Bertram, and Henry Connell. At our first auditorium of the Fall term, Boris Yucht was announced Valedictorian of the Class, while Zephir Cormier earned Salutatorian honors. Third and fourth honors were won respectively by Edgar Taber and Edith Walton. Our history would never be complete without some mention ot the R. O. T. C. and its work. The commissioned officers repre- senting the class there were Major George Tetrault, Captain- Adjutant William K. Tinkham, Master Sergeant Henry D. J. Connell, Staff Sergeant Webster Brown, Staff Sergeant Arthur Crapo, Captain Frederick Geary, First Lieutenant David W. Beaman, Jr., Second Lieutenant Basil Keches, First Sergeant John J. Gannon, First Lieutenant Gordon Simmons, Second Lieu- tenant Richard Lavienski, First Sergeant Norman Gomes. Already our Senior Porm, Class Banquet, Class Day and Graduation are happy memories of the past—all joyous events. As we stand on the threshold of life, each graduate looking eagerly forward to the future, we feel that we can never forget the happy days that were ours. We will always remember the fine record made by the class of January, 1934, in all its endeav- ors at High School. May the incoming Seniors fill our places nobly, and may we find health, happiness, success, and—-peace— in the days to come. The tall chap gently closed the Quadrennial. In his eyes scenes of New Bedford High School replaced those of the Book- Cadillac Hotel. “Those were certainly the days,’’ assented his companion. “ven if Rindge Tech did win—by one point,” he added. Shaking himself from his reverie the tall man said: ‘Oh, well, let’s go into the dining room. Donald Mendelson, the same jolly chap in 1946 as in 1934, is making the introduction of the after-dinner speakers.” Arm in arm the two grads strolled into the dining room, the controversy settled. THE END. PROPHECY A Report of the Eleventh Annual Reunion of the Class of February 1934; held at the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit, February 1, 1946. It was my privilege to be a guest at the reunion of the February ’34 class of the New Bedford High School, which was held recently at the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit. Although the members of this class have been scattered far and wide throughout the world during the years since that memorable day when they seized their diplomas, heartbroken, bid their in- consolable teachers adieu and left the school forever, the greater number of them were able to be present. I came by special invitation of the class president, Mr. Donald Mendelson, who desired me to make up a report of the proceedings, together with a description of the members present and their standing in so- ciety. I spent some hours in the company of these people, and came to like and admire them; let me say for the benefit of those readers who have no acquaintance with this class, that I have never seen a more intelligent or a more varied group of men and women. As I pushed through the revolving door of the hotel lobby, I noticed a young man in the compartment in front of me, who continued to spin around and around after I had left. Coming back, I stopped the door and asked if I could be of any assist- ance. “Thank you,” he said. “I’m attending a reunion here. I came with my parents, and my mother was with me, but she got out of the merry-go-round there and I didn’t. She didn’t notice that I was gone and went on without me. Perhaps the people here will help me find her.”’ He was a very tall young man—so tall that he had to reach down to shake hands as he left me. He told me that his name was Beaman. The first person I saw in the lobby was Mr. Mendelson, who greeted me with enthusiasm and led me to the room in which the graduates were assembling. He intro- duced me to his wife, the supporter of the family, Miss Gloria Swanson, and also to a number of the class notables: Henry D. J. Connell, the famous producer whose showmanship and taste in girls have earned for him the name of the second Florenz Zieg- feld; Henry Mogilnicki, the famous football coach of Holy Cross, and his wife, the former Jesuina Simmons; Keene Dunham, the 64 THE QUADRENNIAL editor-in-chief of the Independent Woman; John Francis, pro- fessor of economics at Vassar College; Edith Lyon, the well- known radio blues singer; Esther Alberts, the famous lecturer on dietetics; Charlie Provost, the author of nursery rhymes; Florence Lambert, the moving-picture actress; Mildred Thorley, best-beloved hitch-hiker in the country, who recently made the head-lines by thumbing a ride on the Twentieth Century Limited; Veronica Meakin, who broke three world swimming records at the last Olympic Games; Evelyn Tyson, the matchless singer in the City Hall Opera; and Lottie Frankel, world’s best known radio announcer. Although these were all pleasant as well as prominent peo- ple, I was more interested in a picturesque figure standing at some distance from me; a lean, hard-bitten specimen, who wore a sombrero and carried a wad of chewing tobacco in his cheek. “That’s Frank Rushworth,’’ said Mr. Mendelson in answer to my question. ‘‘He’s a cowboy. Last year he won the all-around ability award in Colonel Johnson’s Thirteenth Annual Rodeo. His specialty is trick riding.”’ “And who’s that fellow in the corner, with the snow-shoes under his arm?”’ “That’s George Gregory. He’s a life-guard at Etah, Green- land. And the fellow next to him is William Roy Bird, who in- vented a machine to stretch bull-dogs until they look like dach- sunds.”’ “Who are those two in the corner—the short one and the stiff one?”’ “That’s a partnership. Kenneth Wigley became an organ- grinder and hired Ernie Whitely to be the monkey. Oh, by the way—have you met Frank Orlowski?”’ And I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the world’s wrestling champion. Other champions were present, too; there was Mary Mular- czyk, the fastest typist in the country, and Isadore Feinstein, the champion hog-caller of Calveras County, California, and Eliza- beth Hathaway, who was the first woman to win the 500-mile auto race at Indianapolis. Rita Fortin won the pie-eating cham- pionship of the country in the finals at New York last year, but was not able to be at the reunion, not having left the hospital. One of the most interesting characters at the reunion was Arnold Wimer, called the uncrowned king of the American hoboes, who runs a jungle in the outskirts of Chicago. Here there was an interruption. The door swung open and in came a figure who claimed the attention of every person in the room. She was rather tall and slender, with eyes like—is saucers the word?——and she smoked a cigarette in a ten-inch holder while carrying a Pekinese under one arm and her pub- NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL 65 licity agent under the other. ‘“‘That’s Eileen McDonald, the night-club hostess,” said one of my neighbors. And that fellow with her is her manager, Ray Blackburn.” I wandered about on my own a bit and mixed with various groups. Occasionally I overheard stray scraps of conversation— “Why, Fred Geary—what have you been doing?” ‘Oh, lately I’ve been selling silk stockings, perfumed garters, and anti-freeze solution—for the housewife, you know.” ‘“‘Heard from Dot Smith?” “Oh, yes—she’s running an advice-to-the-lovelorn column in the New York Mirror.”’ ‘‘Remember Albert Resendes? He couldn’t be here—he’s a marathon dancer and has been danc- ing at one place for three years.” “I hear that Arnold Weaver makes a living writing convict stories. . . anybody could do as well, though, with his experience.’’” ‘‘—and Edith Shapiro— she married a millionaire—succeeded in divorcing him—is going to spend the rest of her life on the Riviera, living on the ali- mony es Dinner was served in the Crystal Room. There were seven at the table besides myself: Gertrude Lonergan, the wife of a milk-toast manufacturer in Kansas City; Henry Tabet, the long- distance walker who hoofed it from Nome, Alaska to Rio de Janeiro; his wife, the former Alice Morde, who accompanied him on a bicycle; Antone Viveiros, a fish dealer who ships shrimp from Gloucester to all parts of the country; Mary Zolt, who works in a book-binding firm; Antone Gonsalves, a professor at the University of Georgia; and a young man whose name I did not catch, but who stuck to me like a leech for the rest of the evening and talked like a radio announcer all through dinner. “This is a funny class,’’ he said, helping himself to sauer- kraut; “‘you’d laugh if you knew what some of these people do for a living. Take Marjorie Paine, for instance; she writes bed- time stories about Johnny Rabbit and Peter Skunk and all the other survivors of the lynching of Thornton W. Burgess; or Dag- mar Potter, who makes use of her natural taste for coffee and tries out sample cups for Chase Sanborn; or Dolpha LeVallee, who makes false teeth with springs on them to pull them back if they come out in the conversation; or Florence Baratz, who is a yodeler in a Swiss Village at the Berlin Exposition; or Jimmy Dean, who runs the big spaghetti reel at Heinz’s. And that isn’t all, either; there’s Joseph Paulino, who goes on the air at seven- thirty every morning, giving setting-up exercises; and Catherine McDonald—she poses for photographs used in advertising Chipso and all that stuff; and Christabel Dow, one of the girls who bends pretzels in Reading, Pennsylvania; or Doris Putnam, who is the author of numerous books and articles on snake- charming; and Aime Tetrault, who’ll never get rich being a pro- fessional Pen Pal; and Paul Horowitz, who tastes caviar at the Waldorf Cafeteria in Boston; and John Riley, who’s a hairdresser 66 THE QUADRENNIAL in St. Clair’s shop in Cambridge; Sophie Piekielniak, a beef-soup mixer; and Clara Milovitch, an ambitious girl who stuffs maca- roni; and Mildred Malick, who is a chamber-maid on a coal- scow; and Margaret Hesford, who is head of a firm specializing in ginger snaps. But the prize of the bunch is Joseph Fontes, who is the night-watchman in a police station.”’ “Pardon me,” I interrupted, “but who is that fellow at the next table who just fell asleep over his soup?” “That’s Leonard Stone. He is—hbhelieve this or not—the president and founder of an Early-to-Rise Club.”’ “T see. And the chap who is trying to wake him up with- out spilling the soup?” “Oh, that’s Edgar Taber. He runs a nursing home for poodles.”’ Here the ice cream was served, and my neighbor was too busy to talk for a couple of minutes. At length he untangled himself and once more began to tell me about his class. “Just because some members of our class haven’t turned out so well, you needn’t think that we’re all like that. Why, some of my class-mates have risen to great heights. You know, Ikey Alberts is a flag-pole sitter. And Emelia Tomasik was a parachute jumper. Exhibitions, you know. I say ‘was’ because a few weeks ago she tried a jump and the chute didn’t open. She was a nice kid, though. Good to the last drop.” “Excuse me,”’ said I, trying to get him away from such sad subjects, “but who is that gentleman with the whiskers sitting over there to the left?”’ “That’s Eddie Dziubczyk. He’s a coming sensation in Holly- wood—as an apeman. That ankle of his still bothers him a little in climbing trees, though. That serious looking fellow behind him, trying to pick his pocket, is Webster Brown. He’s a mem- ber of the Inner Council of the League of Nations, but he has to get a living somehow.” Mr. Mendelson arose to make the usual speech. ‘Before I make any further remarks,” he said, “I would like to read a few letters from some of our class-mates who, because of the great distance which separates us from them—or them from us— are unab le to be here, and consequently cannot be present. The first is from Jeanette Milette and Eleanor Williams, who, as you know, with Jimmy Fox are now quite a famous musical trio The next is from Ellsworth McAfee and Hovle Demoranville, our ivory hunters in Africa. And then we have one from Annie Squires, who is a missionary in China, and from Margaret Rice, who lives in Fairhaven, and Rodrique Lussier, who is busy see- ing that the leaning Tower of Pisa doesn’t lean too far 3 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL 67 “Very interesting,’ remarked my neighbor. “If it’s ivory they want, they won’t have to look far. But you know, there are more of us who have stayed in New Bedford than have gone to China or anywhere else. It’s a peaceful life, but you live longer. You know, Edith Swift is a torch-singer, and Harold Phillips is living a hectic life out in Westport—assistant post- master. Gordon Simmons is a quiet old bachelor who makes a living writing anti-feminist articles for the American Mercury. Barbara Russell writes scandal for the Standard—a very difficult job. Titonio Oliveira is a peanut-vendor. Trefton Soucy is presi- dent of the New Bedford local of the Steam-Fitters’ Union. Lillian Cushman leads a thrilling existence as librarian in the public library. Albert Doras is the star of the local soccer team. Johnny Spencer is a piano-tuner. And Alice Sharrock is still running the old place out in Freetown—it must be her Scotch blood that holds her there—and takes the old bus into town once or twice a year, just to see what the city folk are doing. Ray Sanderson has taken Mr Lawrence’s place as janitor at the high school and sleeps on a bench in the boy’s locker room, to save rent. Alice Souza is the efficient house-keeper of a rich old duck who’s going to leave her all his money. James McQuilkin is a horse doctor—but, of course, there aren’t any horses any more, even in New Bedford. Eva Harrison is wrestling instructor at the Godreau School. Blanche Fowkes is the girls’ gym teacher at the high school. Elmer Fricker is teaching in a kindergarten. Lorella Francis is the companion of an old lady living on School Street. John Rapoza drives a fish wagon—and David Hewitt is the only red-headed street cleaner in the city. Minnie Cohen is a florist. Walter Mitchell still keeps calm and cool, all right. He’s an ice-man. And Doran Bertram— “Hold on,” I said. “I don’t know any of these people. Besides, I want to hear what Mr. Mendelson is saying.”’ My neighbor was not in the least offended. He looked at me solemnly and remarked, very simply, “Mr. Doe, I’d like to shake your hand. But—as I was saying—Bertram is still at the high school, taking a P. G. in bookkeeping and hoping to pass OS™ EST Sie rad A gray-haired man who had been sitting on the president’s right here struggled to his feet to say a few words. ‘‘That fellow looks pretty rocky,” I said. ‘‘Who is he?” “Oh, that’s Boris Yucht. After completing his third year at Oxford he found that he was completely broke—so he sent his photograph in to the Kiss-Proof Lipstick Company and landed a job as demonstrator. He’s made a fortune, but he’s paid tor it. The speeches were over and everybody went up to the ball- room to dance. I danced in turn with Miss Annie Holderness, who told me in confidence that she was an agent for Columbia 68 THE QUADRENNIAL bicycles in Minneapolis; Mrs. Gompers, nee Francis Bryant, who is the wife of a soap manufacturer; a chorus girl named Mary Cardoza; a trapeze artist, Edith Walton; the charming Miss Dorothy Laycock, hostess at an exclusive club; Bertha Michaud, a history teacher from Atlanta; Florence Simpson, who runs a hostelery known as the Bed Lamp; and Ellen Askew, the author of six books on Asiatic history. While resting my feet, I met an acquaintance of mine, a gigolo by the name of Edward Feeney, and asked him what he knew about the class. “T graduated in it,’’ he answered. “You did? Then tell me—who is that bloated capitalist over there—the man with the gold watch chain and the twenty- five-cent cigar?” “That’s Ozores Perry. I know him by sight. He made all his money in oil speculation; now he spends all of his time speaking on behalf of the Anti-Saloon League. That fellow with him is his chauffeur—Clayton Taylor.” Here my friend of the dinner table barged in and started to stoke me up again. ‘‘Ah, here you are. I just wanted tell you—you needn’t think that all of our class are loafers. Now, Florence Perry—she works hard enough—masseuse in a beauty parlor, you know. And Cecelia Reilly, the prominent social relief worker—they call her that because the poor people are relieved when—Oh, yes, and Genoefa Barylski—she fulfilled a life-long ambition when she became a nurse in a college in- firmary, where she could tend the football heroes. Amy Perry, too, is coming up in the world—she’s a rising young elevator girl. Ellen Carpenter—surely you’ve heard of her—but they call her June Eastman out in Hollywood. Helen Souza is out there, too, double for Greta Garbo—in character parts, of course. Bill Tinkham is now president of the Fairy Soap Corporation. And Alice Lawless is living in New York—she’ll make the Four Hundred after shooting only fifteen more heiresses. Hammond Bender—surely you’ve heard of the Bender Triple-Wing-Back System’? He invented the backward pass and will be head coach at Notre Dame starting next season. Vic Ulewicz is a matron in a reform school and Rose Loftus is her assistant. Dick Lapienski is top sergeant of the wooden soldiers. And the school-mistress: Helen Baumann, the head of an exclusive sem- inary in Connecticut, and Irene Comeau, with her Krippled Kiddies’ Home. There’s service for you!” I did a quick sneak and got into a conversation with two serious-looking young men, partners in an undertaking firm, to whom I had been introduced earlier in the evening: Stan Gorzelnick and Zig Machowski—but even here the talk of the achievments of the class-mates with whom I was not acquainted followed me. They were talking about a new brushless-lather- less-razorless-shaveless shaving cream which a man named — NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL 69 Milton Sylvia had invented. They talked also about Theodore Szala, a prize fighter who had risen to the championship on a diet of spinach and milk; it seems he had married a classmate, Louise Condez. And of Frank Wrigley, known to all radio and screen fans. , “Greetings,” said a cheerful voice at my ear. ‘“‘Yes—as I was saying, some people seemed handicapped by their names. You’d know right away that Alice Ecomomos would become a budget expert, or Bertha Bury, marry an undertaker, or Hilda Bolton a nut manufacturer. But look at Henry Kasup. Did he be- come a chili sauce salesman? Not much! He put his football training to work and now he’s a steeple jack—catches red-hot rivets in a bucket, you know. And Orpha Demers—she went back on her name, and became a yes-woman in Hollywood. “Many of our class, though, have turned out to be just what we thought they would. Carl Thompson is a barker on a sight- seeing bus, Jack Wishnesky isa collar salesman, Nellie Corrigan is a matron in the House of Correction, John Gannon is a Pekingese doctor, Robert Townsend is a tight-rope walker, Genevieve Wroblinski is an artists’ model, Edward Mulally is a doorman at the Savoy-Plaza—opens taxicab doors most of the time, Norman Gomes is the drum-major in the Salva- tion Army, Roland Hall is a waiter, Beatrice Roderick is becoming an old maid with a swell collection of parrots, Alfred Perry is a pansy cultivator, Edna Hargraves is an under-secretary in the republic of Patagonia, and Carmelia Rogers is a worker for the W. C. T. U. But who would have thought that Berenice Borden would turn out to be a lecturer on biology, or Helena Pietryka a snake-charmer, or Flo Corvelo a sugar-bowl-filler at Child’s, or Mary Viera a fish-frier at the Shanghai Restaurant? Why should Lillie Gifford be an evangelist, any more than Zephir Cormier should become a prize-fight announcer, happily married to Edna Duffy? Or Helen Weston the ghost writer of Mickey Mouse’s autobiography? And, last of all, Russell Armitage— he still blushes, but why should one of retiring temperament choose to flop wheat-cakes in the window of a Greasy-Spoon res- taerant:: Ah such-is Fate’ ......-’ ’ “Pardon me,’’ said one of the hotel flunkies, “but we have to close this place up for the night. Really, we can’t keep the lights going just for the benefit of two of you.” We looked about us, and behold, there was no one with us. The Great Reunion of 1946 was over, and the members of the class of °34 had started back to the four corners of the globe. My friend and I left the hotel and started for the railroad station. “What, may I ask, do you do for a living?” I inquired. ‘You seem to know all about the others.”’ “Oh, I do,” he modestly agreed. “I’ve succeeded in a small 70 THE QUADRENNIAL way. Of course, when I think of the success of some of the others—Allan Lilley is a light-house-keeper—he shows his musi- cal talent by tooting the fog-horn, Irving Kestenbaum is becom- ing a second Roscoe Ates, Arthur Howe is a motor-cycle racer but never wins because he learned driving cows home in Free- town, Helen Hahn is nurse in a naval hospital, George Tetrault works in a tin-soldier factory, Octave Masse is a fitter in a de- partment store in New Bedford, Valeria Volanska is a school teacher, William Welsh is a salesman, sells pork-chops in Jeru- salem and Rose Roderiques is his assistant. William Abeshaus married Marjorie Adams, and is making a million out of sausage- meat—it makes me look small. Of course, Bill started out in a small way—town dog-catcher—but he has succeeded. Gerard Aillery, too, has done well—general secretary to the national executive board of the Y. W. C. A.,—and not only that, but Ida Colwell is gym instructor in a seminary. Joan Karcmarcyk is now a famous authority on fashions, with shops all over the world.”’ “Dknow, .Usaldy. Dutewioat.do vourd0 2 He seemed not to hear me. “I was afraid that I’d never find the perfect job,’ he sighed. “There was Audrey Newell, who ran an escalator, Walter Izdebski, who became the first ambassador to Little America, Milton Horvitz building up a great business in second-hand cars, starting in with that sport model peanut roaster of his; Elmer Green, working his way up from a deck-hand to the captaincy of the coal barge Spray, Art Crapo raising the longest moustach in the world and making money on the side by scrubbing floors at two bits an hour, Basil Keches, who was a fire-warden in an asbestos factory, Lois Clark, who was barber to the House of David, Mary St. Aubin, who has been teaching dancing, and William Bean, who is night-watch- man in the Simmons Beauty Rest Mattress Factory. Yvonne Paul measures the holes in the doughnuts at a factory, Phyllis Rounsevell is still picking up eggs out in the sticks, but best of all was the job Edmund Terra had—census taker on Nomans Land. But all of these jobs required some light labor. At length I found what I was looking for—the job which required no exhausting concentration, involved no mental fatigue, and plenty of time for leisure.”’ “Whatisirny “It’s in a hot-house. You see—there’s a century plant there—and every time it blooms, I strike a gong twice.” “T see. But doesn’t it ever get monotonous?” “Oh, no—I have my knitting. Besides, I have an assistant— Eleanor Petterson. She holds the gong and my ball of yarn.” And an ecstactic look appeared on his face. ‘“‘We’re thinking of NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL getting married in a couple of years—but there’s plenty of time to think of that. But really, I must leave you now. So happy to have known you.” “Oh, quite. By the way—lI seem to have forgotten your name.” “Duckworth—John Duckworth. Well, good-by!’’ With a farewell of the hand, he vanished into the night. I hope he stays there. Or, better, I hope the century plant bloomed while he was away. Such in brief, was the reunion of 1946. I have had quite enough for the present; but I would like to come back later, in 1960 perhaps, and see what further changes time has made in this remarkable group of people. cl ee ae Woo, .

Gym; Glee Club Undecided CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR (i, Class History By JACOB HOROWITZ From time immemorial, students have been going through high school. In every class certain pupils have attained more prominence than the rest. Always, however, every pupil has succeeded, each according to his inclinations and aptitudes, in enjoying a suitable share of the social, athletic, military, intel- lectual, and governmental affairs of school life. When, in September of 1930, our school days began, we thought of other things than unaccustomed homework, Mr. Dor- man’s voice, and report cards. Each one of us had ambitions. We looked forward to dances and elections and opportunity to express our talents. In this mood of expectation we held our first class meeting. Officers were elected for the freshman year. Fred Beardsworth was president; Ralph Lider, vice-president; Edward Tighe, secretary, and Priscilla Linderson was treasurer. They presented us to the seniors at the delightful Freshman Reception which followed. There we were initiated into the spirit of the school. Remember that we were mostly an im- mature crowd, just beginning to grow up. By the time the feel of the school was in our bones a large group came in from the junior highs. The sophomore year was initiated by the arrival of these strangers. They, too, were not slow in learning the ways of the school. The first meeting of the augmented group was an exciting one for the newcomers. Its purpose was the election of class officers. Each school clamored for its favorite sons, the newcomers loudest. However, Fred Beardsworth was re-elected president; elected vice-president was Marjorie Cowden (who left school later) ; Elizabeth Hirshlag was secretary; and Kon- stantine Yankopolus, as treasurer, chased us around for class dues. Already the class felt at home in high school, and those with ambitions started out to fulfill them. Many joined the R. O. T. C., or played freshman football, or went out for various athletics. As we began morning sessions we found more time and opportunity for outside activi ties. The sophomore year sped swiftly while we fitted ourselves into the scheme of school life. 80 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL The junior year was an extension of the preceding year, with our efforts just beginning to bear fruit. Uncontested, be- cause of student apathy, the following officers were elected. Konstantine Yankopolus stepped into the president’s shoes; Shirley Horvitz became vice-president; Muriel Robinson, secre- tary; and Teresa O’Donnell, treasurer. Late in the year, promotions were numerous among our classmates in the R. O. T. C. Several of our debaters came to the fore. Track, baseball, and minor sports had their share of our classmates. By vote of the faculty, the Harvard Book was awarded to Kenneth Chace. An innovation, in the shape of a chess team, made its appearance that year. Though little heralded, it pursued an undefeated season to bring home a large cup as champions of Greater New Bedford schools. In future years, this team will be much more prominent, as members of our class gave it a good start. It was in our senior year that the full flower of our achieve- ments came to bloom. From the R. O. T. C. stepped Major William Oesting to fill the office of class president, and Captain Norman Fournier as class treasurer. Our vice-president was Edna May Lees; our secretary, Edna Sterling. Late fall brought out the football team, the debating team, and minor sports—as well as a host of new R. O. T. C. officers. How puny next year’s football team will be with Fred Beardsworth, Norman Blanchette, Mario Rose, Bernard Messier, Edward Leahy, and Ralph Lider—God’s gifts to football coaches—graduated! There will be no back-talk from the debating team, now that Eleanor Rothwell, Norman Fournier, and Konstantine Yan- kopolus are departed. Lament, ye soldiers, that your leader s are no more! Praise the valiant officers: Major William Oesting; Captains Norman Fournier, Norman Hilditch, Norman Boucher, Nathaniel Lip- schitz; Lieutenants Norbert Brennan, Ernest Laviolette, Edward Grzesik, Kenneth Ruffley, Macie Sylvia, Lewis Brown! Relate the tale of William Oesting, who was Major for two terms, as few other majors have been! And while speaking of Oesting, do not forget Margaret Bougie, one of the sponsors who kept up the morale of the unit. Bernice Caswell, honorary major, also graduates with us. It is well for the school that our classmates are not very numerous on the traffic squad. At the beginning of the term, the honor graduates were announced in the following order: Jacob Horowitz, Elizabeth 81 CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR Bigelow, Kenneth Chace, Margaret Bougie—and a long list of more with highest credit. At the same time the Honor Society chose Fred Beardsworth as president, Konstantine Yankopolus as vice-president, and Norman Fournier as treasurer. Norman later resigned, because of his many other activities. Norman was also managing editor of the ‘‘Brevities,” of which Carlton Anthony was editor-in-chief. The ‘‘Brevities,”’ too, suffers a grievous loss from graduation. Of course, we had to plan ahead for graduation from the earliest minute. To choose the various committees which carried on the work of organizing graduation, the Nominating Committee was elected by the class. The committees appointed are found elsewhere in the Class Book. Finally, after a hectic term terminated by the Senior Prom, the Banquet, and Commencement, we find leisure to read the Class History. It is fitting that we should review our activities and judge the worth of our accomplishments. We went through school during the blackest years America has seen. One result of the depression has been that we are the largest class yet graduated from the New Bedfor d High School. Another distinction, noteworthy when one considers the trying circumstances of home life during these years, is that our class is the brightest, scholastically, ever turned out here. Ten—an amazing, unequalled number—of our classmates graduate with highest credit—an A average. Five more come within one point of highest honors. Thirty more graduate with credit. Truly we may be proud of such a group! Outside of intellectual achievements, our class’s work has been overshadowed by the brilliancy both of our predecessors and of our followers. Our debaters and our actors have not shone to fit advantage. Our athletes have done a little better. But our leaders have been the blessing of the class. Some individual records are worthy of respect. Glance over Fred Beardsworth’s record in the Class Book: Class officer, athlete, honor pupil, popular. Look up William Oesting, Nor- man Fournier, Konstantine Yankopolus—and their equals. They represent the best of our class. With the mind’s eye focussed on the shining example set by such as they, may we perform our share of service in the world as we have enjoyed our share of activity in school. —_ 5 7 a7 so . eS rouhery CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR 83 Prophecy, Class of June, 1434 Somewhere out on the mid-Atlantic three men were cast adrift on a raft. They sat conversing in tones of artificial loud- ness, for the unvaried wash of the waves sounded gloomy and solitary. One, a corpulent, ungainly man of about 38, sprawled near the edge of the raft, trying to appear nonchalant and dangling one leg in the ocean. When he thought he was un- observed, he would turn to stare at the melancholy visage of the tallest of the three. Both seemed waiting for the third to stop his flow of talk, which had gurgled unstemmed,for some fifteen minutes. “Isn’t it strange how fate throws people together who haven’t seen each other for twenty years? Here I haven’t even thought of you two, and now this strange accident has cast the three of us alone on this little raft. In June, 1934, when we graduated from the New Bedford High School, I thought that I would never see you again. By the way, have you heard from any of your old classmates in New Bedford?”’ “Why, yes, I kept in touch with many of them long after we graduated,” replied the tall one. ‘Offhand I remember that Erwin Rydstrom is head counselor for the Kiddies’ Playgrounds; Alfreda Martin is raising pigeons; Erich Nietsch, after losing his fortune in the stock market, is running a Select Young Ladies’ Academy on Hawthorn Street with Elizabeth Sellers as the dean; Catherine O’Rourke conducts a kiddies’ dancing school for the coming generation; Annie Perler is President of the Business and Professional Women’s Club; Clayton Smith is the only red- headed janitor in the public schools; William Smith is peddling the United States mail; Winifred Melia is a sales clerk in the Five and Ten Cent Store and still gets into all the shows in town for ten cents. She is thinking of traveling over the country sometime for one-half fare. Doris Higginbottom went places because of her height, and she is now the only window-washer in town who doesn’t need to carry a ladder; Marion Fuller sells Liberty Magazines at the corner of Purchase and Union Streets; Sophie Bogacz is the secretary of the Marie Antoinette Bachelor Apartments; Macie Sylvia is a local soccer player, and Norman Brittain, having risen from his position as page in the library, is now the elevator man.”’ “Some of our classmates went to live in New York also,” chimed in the super-important person, “I have often met them 84 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL going to and from work. Ralph Lider has a position posing for clothing advertisements; Teresa O’Donnell is a mannekin in one of the Fifth Avenue shops; Muriel Robinson made good on the stage in Sidney Beserosky’s Follies; David Mikelson is singing blue songs as a sidekick for Stanley Niedgwiedski’s orchestra; and surely you have all heard of ‘Whitham’s Willow Wafers’ guaranteed to ‘kure or kill.’ Elmer is now a doctor and owner of a large hospital. Lionel Cormier is his business manager and employs all the nurses. Genowefa Lazowska is the path- ologist and Helen Nickoloff is a technician. Wanda Piascyk is head of the children’s ward and Irene Lewis, Helen Gley, Doris Wick, Rita LeDuc, and Mabel Ellis are employed as nurses. Kathryn Stasiun applies the anesthetics. But the greatest accom- plishment of our classmates is the running of one of the coun- try’s largest newspapers, ‘The New York Universe.’ Norman Fournier is the editor-in-chief, with Norman Hilditch as Army correspondent, Leo Balandyk as editorial manager and Charles Kramer as Circulation Manager with Sam Feingold in charge of the newsboys. Louise Briggs’s and Louise Chisnell’s contribution consists of a Chatter Column and Elizabeth Jenkins proved to be an expert sob-sister. Elsie Almeida writes a Horoscope Column and Eleanor Cyr is the editor of a ‘Quips from the Queer’ column. The latest columnist is Edmund Levine, writing ‘Non- sense.’ Mary McCusker is reading copy and is a big help around the office. The advertising department of the paper is handled by Anthero Pacheco.” And now, for a wonder, the speaker voluntarily gave way to another. “T have done quite a little traveling since I left school,” said the distinguished looking gentleman, ‘‘and I have met a number of our classmates in many parts of the world. Ernest Whitely is a barker in front of a circus side-show; John Oliveira is head guard at the Taunton University of Nuts and May Dudley is running one of the famous ‘Ye Olde Sandwiche Shoppees’ on Yale campus; Eileen Norris is leading an easy life leisurely roaming the world with Isabelle Sampson, who gives lectures on Old World ruins; Beatrice Timperly is doing missionary work among the natives on the South Sea Islands; Elmer Paul is a second Paul Muni in racketeer parts and Mario Rose is the head football coach at Notre Dame. Paul Pifko through his nerve and daring has a position as an air mail pilot with Manuel Botelho as his co-pilot, and what a ride they gave me. Out in Kansas I met Genevieve Wojtuszewski selling tickets in a railway station at Gullsborough.”’ Here the over-important person had a startling revelation to make. ‘Oh! did you know that Theresa Finni and Beatrice Allen are in partnership running a beauty parlor and their best patrons are Walter Izdebski and Howard Rossiter?” he intey- rupted. He proceeded to unload some more information. “After CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR having retired from a very strenuous life in George White’s Scandals, Bernice Caswell and Sylvia Rosen are now living a very quiet life in a Park Avenue Penthouse. Sabina Kamionek is writing bloodshed novels, which are being published by the ‘Pressed Paper Publishing Company’ under the management of Albert Gosselin and Charles Kieltyka. Evelyn Poole is head of one of the nurseries in a large New York department store, and, oh yes, Mary Saltys is also making a living writing novels. Have you ever read any of her books?”’ “Yes, I have,’’ replied the corpulent gentleman, ‘‘Most of them ha ve been published by the Turbak Printing house, owned by Boleslaw himself. Did you know that Stella Dabrowska is an athletic directress and makes the rounds at the public schools in New Bedford? Phyllis Bragg has settled down on Pope Street with the ideal of her dreams; Dorothy Lipman eats up all the profits in her candy shop in Purchase Street; Mary Muulins is in a sleep endurance contest at Acushnet Park, and Helen Isherwood after leaving her work as a dietician now devotes all her time to counting calories.”’ He of the deep voice continued, “I received a letter, just before sailing, from William Oesting; he tells of marrying Mar- garet Bougie, who is a great inspiration. He is now a brain specialist in the service of the United States Army. With him is Nathaniel Lipschitz giving enlistment speeches for the Army. He speaks of a number of our classmates including Eleanor Fricker who has become very successful as a journalist for the Associated Press; Janina Koczwara who is a schoolma’am in Bakerville, South Dartmouth; August Santos who sold his pic- ture to be used in razor blade advertisements. Frank Kutis is a cartoonist for a magazine; Ezaltina Moniz is a well known masseuse; Madeline Richards croons sweetly over a nation-wide network; Doris Lawrence poses for silk stocking advertisements, drawn by Hope Darling. Two girls who went different ways are Delphine Trahan who is making a world tour on a bicycle and Blanche Lague who washes dishes, dusts chairs, and keeps a neat house for the one and only. He also speaks of Frank Farin who has probably run for every political office in the country. “When I was living in New Bedford before I took this trip, I often heard from various members of the class—Elizabeth Hirshlag now a bookkeeper in a Boston Department store; Lillian Frates married Stanley Murach, who is now running an undertaking establishment in Providence; Gertrude Diaz composes ‘Mammy Songs’ for Al Jolson. Beatrice Rose is the only woman justice on the supreme court; Jeannette Millette is a famed musician; Mary Matthews married a traveling salesman, Arthur Seddon; and Dorothy Braman is an expert typist for one of the largest typewriting firms in the country. 86 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL “Did you happen to see Abraham Steiner coming over on the boat? He dedicated his life to selling furlined bath tubs to the Russians. His banker, Herman Miller, is internationally known, and spends his leisure hours entertaining ambassadors.” Squinting down his nose and licking his lips he went on, “‘Alice Filachowska is a French model and is under the management of Ralph Nelson and Norman Singleton; Alfred Benoit has a posi- tion on Ellis Island as an interpreter; Helen Swanson is private secretary for Antone Vivieros, a traveling millionaire; Mildred Roebuck and Margaret Lawless are running a ‘Three chances for a Nickel Shop’ at Crescent Park; Mary Zolt has achieved renown by being the last person listed on the New York tele- phone exchange; John Donald is a call-man in the ‘pit’ at Chicago and spends his evenings at the theater where Earle Smith is head usher. Can either of you add any facts?” Dangling a toe idly in the water the ungainly one gave vent to his recollections, ‘‘Cornelia Darwin now holds the world’s record for mountain climbing; John Valasakos, the last I saw of him, was hitch-hiking around the world; Hilda Frietas is a kindergarten teacher in the old home town; Natalie Hathaway is touring the country exhibiting a marvelous collection of shells, plants and phenomenons of nature. Her ticket collector, Mary Brown, is bawled out every day by Dolores Masse, the business manager. Annie Wright is the owner of an exclusive wearing apparel shop and Shirley Horvitz is producing her own plays with Ernest Laviolette as scenery designer. I often enjoy read- ing James Sullivan’s Wild West Stories and Albert Rezendes, humorous columns in the humorous magazines.” “T went into the Long Life Insurance Company the other day to see my friend, Stanley Koczera, the manager,” said the pompous person, “‘and was surprised to see Aslaug Haram taking dictation. We fell to talking about old times and he told me that his daughter is going to a college where Elizabeth Bigelow is teaching history. Riding downtown on the subway he mentioned Eleanor Coombs as running an employment agency; Hope Smith as a night club hostess and Catherine Roche in partnership with Virginia Hirst running a horticultural establishment downtown. According to him Sylvia Fleish is living on a large farm in the Middle West and Estelle Brouillette is a waitress in a New York catese The distinguished person removed his false teeth from his mouth and clicking them vehemently as if to disturb the effusions of the pompous one, waited for the flow to abate so that he could step in himself. Seizing the right moment he cut in, “Dorothy Warren is now a second-hand clothes dealer; Boleslaw Matyanowski is a six day bicycle rider; Frank Lopes is a moving man with a large feminine clientele and Irene LeBlanc is run- CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR ning a poultry farm in North Rochester. Stanley Koczerga is a warden at the House of Correction; Alice Gradwell is running an alimony hotel; Emilia Gonet is on a farm in Wisconsin; Irene Gage has got a monopoly on rubber bands; Jennie Gomes is teaching history at Smith’s College and Rita Jaillet has gone on the air pinch hitting for Thornton W. Burgess; Elsie King is business manager for Lily Kozlovsky who has made millions by selling pictures of her teeth to toothpaste companies to use in the ‘after three days pictures’ and Fleurette Lague is giving piano lessons in Walawala, Washington. See if you can rattle off a list like that.”’ It could be seen that the person with so much self-impor- tance did not relish keeping his mouth closed, for, deprived of exercising his “gift of gab,’’ he had to exercise his jaws other- wise, and was feverishly gnawing at his finger nails. At last unable to contain himself any longer, he burst out—‘‘T just re- membered Norman Harpin was captain of the boat we were on.” With this statement as an entering wedge he entered upon another long harangue. ‘‘He was one of our schoolmates too. Dorothy Wilkinson is the librarian at Dartmouth and leads an exciting life rooming with Paula Noel, who writes verses for Christmas cards, in Yvette Payette’s boarding house. Another roomer of hers is Juliette St. Pierre who starves between the editions of the Rip Van Winkle and Christmas Carol books for which she writes the shorthand plates. Irene Lassey is pro- prietor of a mail order house in Kalamazoo, Michigan and is employing Eleanor Rothwell, who has put her debating abilities to work selling silk stockings. Samuel Louis is owner of the Louis building where he rents his offices to Dora Eaton, a popular manicurst; Jane Neville, a clairvoyant; Helen Moskal, a seam- stress; Florence Vieira, a photographer; Normand Raymond, a financial advisor; and Rita Martell, the only woman architect in town. Dora Provencher invented the ‘Provencher Fire Extin- guisher’; Wilhelmina Leach now owns a tea room in Acushnet; Roland Deschaine and Charles Riley are taking spells at the wireless of the U.S. 8S. Cuttlefish; Evelyn Matesich is a telephone operator in Cairo, Mississippi. John Hyland holds the United States and England amateur and open golf championships; Ber- nard Messier is pressing uniforms at a prep school and Eddy Leahy is caddy-master at the Sunnymeade Public Course. Francis Moore is living in the Artist’s Quarter in Paris where he is having a hectic time wearing flowing red neckties, letting his hair grow, and patronizing the sidewalk cafes; Kenneth Chace and Samuel Cohen organized rival syndicates to establish communication with Mars and other heavenly bodies. Chace gave up this project and is now planning a tube through the earth to China. Dorothy Grew owns a truck garden in Aroostook County, Maine. Another one of our classmates who achieved fame is Marguerite Fennessey who went back to Erin and lassooed all the mosquitoes 88 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL in County Mayo. While there she met Stella Patla who was making a pilgrimage to kiss the Blarney Stone. Catherine Rose and Christina Trotter are singing in a church choir.

Henry Wood- ward is a branch manager for the ‘Home Town Thistledown News.’ John Shields is bodyguard for a prominent politician. James Reagan is touring the country with his medicine show.” During the voluble one’s discourse the other two men on the raft had been growing more and more listless, and looking vacantly into space, indifferent to his gush of words. Becoming aware of the fact that his audience was not with him, and tired of hearing his own voice, he ceased to speak. Silence fell upon the three, broken only by the disconsolate swishing of the waves. But alas! Not for long could he be silent. “A penny for your thoughts,’ he addressed the pensive, tall man. “IT was dreaming about the party I had on my last birth- day. It wasa memorable day. I received telegrams from former classmates and many attended the reception. Fred Beardsworth came down from Washington where he was chairman of the Senate Committee regulating professional sports. A prosperous looking companion was with him, continually joking and greet- ing his friends. It was Walter Jackson, a lobbyist. Louis Brown, who ran an automobile plant, was also present with Walter Adamowicz, wealthy inventor of a chainless, gearless bicycle. The corner grocery man, Edward Sylvia, dropped in at the party with Thomas Barry, the policeman on the beat. The chemical firm of Marcel Braun and Allan Frost was represented by its two heads. We were entertained before dinner by John Wells who lectured over the radio on the ‘Cause for Discolora- tion in Canned Crabmeat.’ Norman Blanchette left his dietitian’s consultation office in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to come down by train. I remember his telling me that Edward Hudecek was announc- ing stations in a blaring nasal tone. Bob Macy was the candy butcher on the train and Joseph Aulisio collected tickets. I also received messages from as far south as the wilds of Pata- gonia where Charles Rodrigues was accomplishing wonders among the natives by preaching to them until they fell asleep and then extracting their teeth painlessly.” The less talkative member of the party gave a preparatory hitch to his paunch and put in his contribution to the reminisences of the three. CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR 89 “IT was becoming dissatisfied with the diet at the New Bed- ford hotels, so I decided to take a trip of inspection through the country’s cafeterias. Naturally I came across many of my former schoolmates. In Paris, Maine, I met Dorothy Johnson who had established a plant for the manufacture of babies’ shoes and perambulators. I saw Hedwig Gudewich working in the testing laboratory of Aurora Guisti’s Chewing Gum establishment. Beatrice Perry and Edith Reynolds were posting labels on Christ- mas packages during the holiday rush. Traveling onward I came to Wheeling, West Virginia where Cecelia Olszewski lived. Her milkman, John Freeman; her baker, Adela Farara; and her milliner, Elizabeth Neville were all old classmates. I met Julia Kozako on the train. She was going to visit Germaine Mathieu, a library clerk, in Kansas City. She advised me to visit Doris Allison, a private detective in the employ of Frank Gula’s Protective Agency. Margaret White had opened a deli- catessen across the street from the drug store where Mabel Davis compounded prescriptions. Continuing across the country, I stopped at Carson City, Nevada. Here I met Helen Kaszynski waiting on the table in the ‘Cozy Carson City Cafe.’ I had crossed half the country, in vain, seeking balm for my mistreated stomach. But not until I sat down to a meal prepared by Mar- garet Moura, who was the chef in Helen Downey’s Golden Gate Restaurant at San Francisco, did I realize that inward satisfac- tion that comes only to the man with the artistic palate. While there I visited the offices of the Ideal Interior Decorating firm which had outfitted many prominent Californian estates and was directed by Edna Sterling, Catherine Vieira, Constance Silveira, and Margaret Trindade. Ernestine Furtado and Elsie Daniels were playing North and South on the national bridge team. I received a letter from Dorothy Benoit who was wild with enthu- siasm over her project of painting a white line around the equator. I stopped off at a resort in Canada where, deep in the woods, Alice Ainsworth and Anita Souillere, having been disappointed in love, were getting away from it all. I was guided by Doris Couet and Marion Nickelson who were rough- ing it. Re-entering upon the solitary plains of Minnesota, I stopped at two neighboring ranches, one managed by Lillian Parker, and the other by Lucille Pedroza. I found that Edna May Lees was Dean of Women at the University of Michigan. Through her influence Monica Zygiel was teaching gym and Anita Hazel was lecturing on accounting and finance. Lucille Lague was secretary to Edna. In Chicago I met Joseph Pisarezyk who was a power in Polish politics with Ruth Chace as his pub- licity agent and Genowefa Barylski as the leader of his ward. At Buffalo, New York I saw the plane in which Elizabeth McHugh and Dorothy Mullaly were trying to break the women’s flying endurance record. I heard Hazel Tripp preach a sermon in Albany where she was a minister. When in the State House at Boston, Massachusetts I saw Elsie Boardman who had a seat 90 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL ——SSa in the State Legislature and was working strongly for the labor class. Emily Milos guided me about the Museum of Fine Arts where she lectured on Rembrandt’s pictures. Returning home I found a letter waiting for me from Alfred Funaro an old friend of mine. He wrote, that after leaving school he had roamed the world looking for the perfect job. ‘At last I found it. A position that required the extensive use of all my scientific knowl- edge, a position that commanded precision to the most minute Me's part of an inch. I am now measuring mosquitoes for muzzles’. “Speaking of scientific precision,’ interrupted the tall per- son. ‘Watch me crack this nut.’’ He pulled out his false teeth with a flourish, and from his vest pocket extricated a large walnut. Carefully he opened the jaws just wide enough io insert the walnut between the two rows of teeth. “See how careful I must be to crack the nut, not the teeth,’”’ he explained, meanwhile applying pressure to the jaws. Slowly his teeth, wielded by experienced fingers, sank into the shell, and with a despairing crunch the nut gave way. “That,” said he, “‘is precision. It is only a specimen of what our alma mater contributed to applied science. I can name a dozen great scientists among our classmates. The greatest of these, I am ashamed to say, is a woman—Muriel Phillips, who revolutionized chemical progress by discovering how to trans- form a glass of water and a burnt stick into pure, white, edible sugar,—the most important process ever invented. Then there is William Hamilton Smith Preece, who is working hard on the advanced mathematical theory of the rhythmic noises produced by the saxophone; and Ralph Tessier, who applied his knowledge of physics to the design of knotproof shoelaces. Benjamin Howe is applying scientific methods to an investigation of school- skipping which is expected to produce valuable remedies.” “Where are the dozen scientists you promised?” argued the pompous man. “The class wasn’t as great as I thought it was in my enthu- siasm,”’ admitted the other. ‘Most of the boys who started out to be scientists ended up far differently. David Brown led a movement to revive the clipper ship. Edward Feeney took to selling fish. David Hosie was appointed Commissioner of Hydrants. Leon Keches established the ‘Nonpareil Hat Cleaning and Shoe Shining Parlor—Billiards in Rear.’ Andrew Cheetham went into partnership with I Grabbem and manages a prosperous collection agency. Edward Grzesik is official spokesman for the waterboy’s union. Adolph Jardin sees all the ball games free since he got a job plugging up knot-holes in the park fence. Norman Boucher is extremely happy as Exalted High Potentate of the International Brotherhood of Knights of the Brass Button. Clyde Page is captain of the All-American Water Ping-Pong CLASS OF JUNE, NINETEEN THIRTY-FOUR Team. David Ward manages the ‘Ride to Work’ taxi agency. He has earned the undying hate of the street car company by his activities. Kenneth Ruffley is explaining to wide-eyed visitors the freaks found in the Mattapoisett Institute for the Perpetua- tion of Oddities, where Norbert Brennan is the hidden works inside the ‘Great Mechanical Wonder! Plays Chess Automati- cally. Come one—come all—five cents’!’’ Suddenly the speaker broke off and reached down into the water. A happy grin con- torted his lips as he fished out a sadly bedraggled newspaper. It was soaked through, but nevertheless it was a newspaper, and the print was very plain. “Hurrah!” cried the tall man. ‘Civilization is near.’’ “Must have been thrown overboard from a nearby steamer,” suggested the fat man in a bored tone. ‘‘Looks as though we won’t have to wait long to be picked up.” The last words brought a wry pucker to his lips. “Let’s see what it says,’ urged the talkative member of the trio, “Hey! What’s, this? Your picture’s here!’’ he screamed at the fat man. ‘Read this headline!” MATCH KING SYMES SKIPS COUNTRY TO ESCAPE UNCLE SAM’S WRATH Charged with Avoiding Process Tax on Slightly Used Matches— Konstantine Yankopolus to Prosecute for United States June 20, 1953 (AP)—Harold Symes, millionaire match king, who has amassed a fortune selling second-hand matches, and hired Attorney Roland Balthazzar to protect his interests, is fleeing a hopeless lawsuit— For a moment the fat man forgot his acted indifference, and with an ugly scowl reached quickly to jerk the newspaper out of the other’s hand. Before he could be stopped he had torn it into fragments which now were strewn around the raft. “Well,” he said belligerently, ‘“Now that you know all about me, tell me about yourself.’”’ He turned to the gentleman who had done so much talking all the afternoon. Just then the tall man, who had been searching the horizon ut 92 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL for several minutes, called to the other two, ““Do you see that moving speck?” he asked eagerly. ‘Looks like a steamer. It’s coming near fast, isn’t it?” “Listen,” spoke Symes, “I’m not going back on any Ameri- can-bound steamer. I’m staying right here until I’m picked up for Europe. While we’re waiting, I want to know what you two have been doing since you graduated. How about you, Anthony?’”’ Carlton needed no urging to talk. “TI’ll tell you,” he began, “Because of an unusually lively jaw, I found work in a tailor shop, where they harnessed that Jaw of mine to a Sewing machine treadle. Unfortunately I had to leave this happy job because of laryngitis which kept me miserably silent several weeks. Then a barber hired me. Recently I was unanimously awarded a recording phonograph and a free trip to Europe, as the most talkative barber in the Western Hemisphere. While in Europe to compete for international honors, I expect to reap a tidy sum at my sideline of genteel blackmail—a gain from my old days on the ‘Brevities’—but then I can’t give away professional secrets.” The steamer was plainly visible now. If the distinguished looking man with the false teeth wished to tell his story he would have to talk fast. “T’ve always yearned for a scientific career,’ he began, “After working my way through college washing test tubes, I found the world in need of a man to replace Einstein. I revised and added to his theories, but an unappreciative world tried to intern me in an insane asylum. However, my fellow scientists vindicated me, and now I am gathering material for a denuncia- tion of high school mathematics.”’ There was no time for further conversation now, as the ship’s lifeboat was already beside them. Symes would remain behind, and another steamer would later pick him up, the three agreed. Loath to leave him, Anthony and the tall man set out for the steamer. Provisions for Symes were rowed back to the raft. As the boat sailed away, Anthony stood in the stern with the other, waving a farewell to Symes. And so they drew farther apart, while Symes, standing on the raft occasionally left off counting the cans of provisions to shout, ““Good-by, Carl! Good- by, Horowitz! Behave yourself, Jacob!” abt ; ig Loa e. . . : ry 7 ie te ‘ oo r Lane + A ae. a ; be kg - “ oW eo? ¢ ae Ste.
