S., in this his first term as principal and our last here as students. To John D. Connors In grateful appreciation of his un- ceasing efforts in helping our class and its inexperienced committees, coupled with his untiring efforts and genial interest in our behalf, we sincerely dedicate this first vol- ume of the Crimson Log. FOREWORD The primary objective of a public high school should be the development of a better, a more intelligent citizenry. No lines of dis- tinction as to race, creed or social station are recognized. Friendships, associations, and con- tacts bring together all classes and types of young people. Thus the school becomes, in reality, an important factor in the great melting pot that is the basis of our American Democracy. This book is an effort to perpetuate the friendships and memories of school days and thereby carry on into adult life the principles of equality and social tolerance that have been established during the years of minority. If it accomplishes this purpose, it is indeed worth while. A. sh Dormansemnecipal CLASS HISTORY With the surf foaming at its sides, and the brisk wind snapping encouragingly through its masts, the good ship New Bedford High was once again ready to launch out on the sea of educational experience on the morning of January, 1935. We were a group of 127, all novice seamen, who set forth to the arduous task of discovering what constituted the “golden education” to be obtained at the New Bedford High School. In search of this “golden quest”, we set out with Charlotte Gobell as our head navigator. As it was a rather precarious undertaking along those rough, choppy waves of scholastic training, we secured the aid of Ruth Atkinson to take over the helm when our worthy head took time out to dig deeper into the itinerary of our course. We engaged Randall Hirst as secretary, to record in the ship’s log the various activities of the ship’s company, in the line of scholastic hardships, victories, and multi-social activities. In order to be able to sail smoothly along the social waves, we elected as treasurer, Margaret Sprague. To make our board of officers complete, we obtained as our best navigators, Elizabeth Coggeshall, Marion Haworth, and Nelson Wood to represent our contemporary company in the Student Council. We resumed our sailing after two months’ vacation, until January 1936, when our small group was enlarged to 427. This was caused by the entrance of new seamen signing up with our good ship, to further their knowledge along the same salty routes of travel that we had chosen. We gave the responsibility of guiding our ship through another year of edu- cational cruising to Ernest Mathews. To Teddy Bobrowiecki went the duty of vice- commander. Walter Gifford took charge of recording our educational successes and obstacles. Irving Horenstein was elected to keep track of the bulk in our ship’s treasury. Then the Student Council laid claim to Teddy Bobrowiecki, Roy Edwards, Charlotte Gobell, and Nelson Wood. ex During our second year, we lost a very good friend, Randall Hirst, who was fatally hurt while at gun practice. Although many considered their sailing powers below par, a few of the sea- indifferent souls decided to rise in the ranks of able-bodied seamen. Those who gained these heights by being admitted into the Honor Society were: Helen May Francis, Lillian Krivoff, Florence Liss, Leonard Machado, and Irene Souza. After a hard and happy struggle, and another welcome intervention of two month’s rest, we took over the helm to help steer a successful course into the third leg of our voyage. We decided Virginia Kougias would be our best leader through both calm and stormy weather. Walter Gifford, the young man who had so skillfully recorded minutes in our log, beca me vice-commander. Winifred Guba was given the position of sec- retary, while Daniel Horvitz was selected to take care of our ever-increasing treasury. The best salty-souls elected to the Student Council were Leonard Baron, Robert Burn- ham, Charlotte Gobell, Donald Malick, and Marion Haworth. By now many of the students realized the prestige of being able to hold honorable positions. Thus by hard work and determination, fifteen new members were admitted into the Honor Society. They were Cleo Alves, Beverly Augusta, Louise Beardsworth, Mildred Francis, Mabel Griffiths, Daniel Horvitz, Marion Lenhardt, Elizabeth McGuinn, 9 Ernest Mathews, Emilia Mulawka, William Nelson, Eilleen O’Connor, Josephine Piet- kiewicz, Natalie Powell, and Margery Whelan. To break up the daily routine of study, we held our Junior Prom, which climaxed our third year successfully. Soon our fourth and last year was upon us, and we tried valiantly to live up to the honor of “‘dignified seniors.” Because Virginia had served us so honorably during our third year, she continued on as president. Robert Burnham was chosen vice-president, while Emily Kicak was selected as class secretary. Daniel Horvitz was reelected treasurer. The members of our crew who joined the Student Council were Leonard Baron, Millicent Bradshaw, Robert Burnham, Morris Koffman, Virginia Kougias, and Nelson Wood. Nelson Wood, chairman of the Class Book, was elected president of the Student Council, while Morris Koffman served as vice-president. During the year we held our ‘April Showers” dance, at which everyone had a grand time. Winifred Guba had charge of this successful affair. Girls who had achieved fame in the Girls’ League were Eleanor Sowle, president; Mabel Griffiths, vice-president; Lucille Millette, secretary; and Priscilla Kirk, treasurer. Our worthy sea members admitted into the Honor Society this year were Hilda L. Botelho, Winifred Guba, Eleanor Hall, Florence Howland, William Jenney, Deo- linda Lopes, Lucille Millette, Aline Robidoux, Helen Sylvia, Doris Wilde, Helen Winiarski, Roland Bessette, Natalie Powell became secretary of the Honor Society. The Dramatic Club received its share of graduating thespians. Those who gained extra prominence were: Robert Burnham, Marion Haworth, and Mabel Griffiths; President, Vice-President, and Secretary, respectively. Those who displayed their dram- atic ability in various plays produced on our stage were Mabel Griffiths, Morris Koffman, Marion Haworth, Edith Segall, Emile Leger, and Leonard Baoon. Our famed athletic heroes were: On the gridiron: James Hughes, Norman Freitas, Robert Burnham, and Kenneth Brown. Here Rita Hamlet, a cheerleader, helped to spur the boys on to victory. On the track: Warren Nute and William Bond. In Basketball: Warren Jones. In Golf: William Bond. Honorary positions of the Student Court bestowed upon our fellow students were Leonard Machado, defense attorney; Natalie Powell, supreme justice; Margery Whelan, justice; and Nat Hastings, justice. The R. O. T. C. afforded many of our boys a chance to gain prominence. After four years of determination and preseverance, we finally reached our goal— the goal of future success and happiness — the goal of knowledge. Slowly, but surely, our ship, where many hours of study were spent, proudly gained the harbor. Before we brought to a climax those four years of immense success, we held our Senior Prom and Senior Banquet, at which everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time. On January 26, with Diplomas in hand, and sadness in our hearts, we bade farewell to the ship that had so skillfully led us into the port of our life’s ambition. We set forth, this time armed with four years’ preparedness, to gain our place in the school of life. . “The past forever gone, the future still our own!” Emily Kicak, Secretary. 10 ALLISON, Re DORMAN Principal SUMNER E.

Tavares Teothiaaichoomar Esther D. West In Memoriam To Randall Barlow Hirst, who endeared himself to all who knew him by his genial personality, his unassuming mental genius, love of sports, and school athletics. Together these would have given him a high place among our students, athletes, and all others who might have come to know him intimately. He was graduated at the head of his class from the Clarence A. Cook School, and was elected secretary of our Freshman class. During his sophomore year, he became a member of the Honor Society, and played football with the jayvees. This promising future was abruptly ended by his tragic death in 1937, leaving all those who had had the pleasure of his acquaintance, to re- member him as a fine example of a good sport, true friend, and excellent scholar.

With apologies to the authors of “Thanks for the Memories’, and to Milton High School Thanks for the memories Of Monday Morning blues, Of squeaky luncheon stools, Of special topics, book reports, and home- room recess news. How lovely it was! Thanks for the memories Of football scores galore, Of basketball and more, Of waiting for the bell to ring for the door. How lovely it was! Many’s the time that we chewed gum, And many’s the time we were caught, Oh, well it was swell while it lasted, But seventh periods are not so hot! So, thanks for the memories, Of last-minute preparations, Of school-band syncopations, And now we’re through, we know that we have tried your dormant patience. Oh, thank you so much! 43 FOOTBALL This fall the prospect for the 1938 football machine was not too encouraging for Coach “Win” Dodge, for only a few of last year’s regulars were left after the ruin and havoc wrought by graduation. By the time our opening game drew near, things began to look much better and we shortly found that we had something after all. Now the season is closed, and seven of the Crimson team have been chosen for : the all Bristol County eleven. This successful termination of football during our four years here chalks up the best record since ?32 when eight players out of eleven were named for the coveted positions. The two chief reasons for this success lay in the ability of the team to hold our opponents from scoring when a touchdown seemed in- evitable, and in the running offensive of Charlie Mendell which was responsible for many of the points scored. Large credit is also due First row, left to right—Robert Burnham, Norman Richard, James Hughes, Roland Blanchette, Norman Freitas, Warren Healy, Ronald Lem- ire, Richard Seaver and Charles Tsouprake.

Its aim is realized by electing representatives from each class in the regular class elections. Following is the scale for class representation: 6 representatives from the 7’s and 8’s, 5 from the 5’s and 6’s, 4 from the 3’s and 4’s, 3 from the 1’s and 2’s, also the President of each class. These representatives bring up problems which have been called to their attention by those pupils whom they represent. The matter is discussed freely in council sessions and recommendations are submitted to the faculty. In this manner, a democratic and practical way of dealing with school problems is provided for the student body. The officers this term were Nelson Wood, President; Morris Koff- man, Vice-President; Marjorie Jason, Secretary; John Lawless, Treas- urer, and Henry Mickelson, Sergeant at Arms. Miss Marion E. Lord, social counselor, is the Council’s adviser. This year a large delegation attended the Southeastern Massachusetts Convention at Sharon High School on November 17, and received many beneficial ideas from the other schools present. A very successful after- noon dance was held this year, and other activities too numerous to men- tion were carried out in the Council’s many regular business administra- tions about the school. The Council is shown in the upper half of the Opposite page.
