i 9 3 5 YEAR BOOK Class Will We, the first, last and foremost class of 1935, bequeath to our teachers, those who are bespectacled and otherwise, their ability, if that’s what it’s called, to detect the slightest noise when there isn’t any. Moreover, we, the aforementioned class of 1935, after four to five years of working by the sweat of our teachers’ brows, have decided to willingly leave the friendly folds of their skirts and give, not sell, to the thriving Junior Class our dexterity in finishing our homework. Huck Andrew, that mildly cured boy from West Boxford, leaves his bashfulness when alone with girls, to that boy with the indefatigable wind, LeRoy Walcott Duncan. Gordon Andrew, another of those rare Boxford specimens, leaves his trusty glasses, which have served him for four long years, to that unassuming junior, Bill Andrews, who is not to be mixed up with the former Andrew or there will be some mix up. Betty Atkinson leaves her maternal touch to Allison Kirk and her kindness to that popular young junior model, Rita Rand, with the advice, Stay as sweet as you are.” John Edison Beanland, the boy who’s alway N s in need of an alarm clock, leaves his technique to sleep with one eye closed and the other open, to his brother, Henry Follansby Beanland, who seems to stay awake without any effort, unlike his brother. Emile Boulanger leaves his John Barrymore profile to George Banker. Joe Budnick leaves his book of self experiences to Kenny Dobson, who is writing a book on the same subject. Blanche Herberta Barwell, leaves her dreams of Paul Coppeta to Doris Albrecht with the advice, “Don’t stay awake too long. He dosen’t fall, he tackles.” Beatrice Binns, who doesn’t know one boy from another, bashfully leaves her book on “Boys” to Sylvia Broderick, saying, “I won’t need it where I’m going and I’m sure Slyvia can add something of interest to it.” She also leaves her natural blond hair to Stella Ringalo who, according to secret service women, uses the highest grade coloring. Gladys Butterfield, that Mae West from Mass. Ave., sells her stocks, “Boys and their Habits, Inc.,” to the ever buying junior girl, Mildred Bara, and her soft, wavy hair, to Winnie Perry, the Venus of the Junior Class. Henry Camire, that heart breaking lawyer of the A. C law firm who has never lost a case yet, even with women, leaves his share of the partnership to Tom Barron, and his undisputed positions as class sheik and freshman lover to George Bartholomew Casserly and Robert Riley. That handsome brute, Odelle Francis Cashman, who never looks five times at a woman, (they all look at him,) leaves his ability to slay ’em to Eddy Werenchuck, his favorite sophomore girl friend E. S. to Oscar Evanturel Richard, and his masculine features to Tony Kapeika, who by the way, isn’t so bad himself, according to rumors spread by the Johnson High School females. Wellington Elmer Cassidy, that modern Horatius at the bridge, leaves the bridge to Carl Olson and his loaf of rye bread to Bill Brown Sipsey. Tommy Ceplikas, the one man faculty of the Senior Class, leaves a few of his honors to Charlie Pitman, saying, “He needs ’em.” He also leaves his bashful smile, when someone’s watching him, to “Pop” Macklin. Ralph Simon Champion, the Senior Class’ contribution to F. C., a freshman, leaves his delapidated, air-conditioned hat, the like of which homing pigeons have never seen, to Captain John Benson and his soft mellow croons, not coos, to Blondy Kasheta. Paul Coppeta, the unrivaled woman’s man, leaves a few of his followers to Steve Barbett, and a pair of boxing gloves, which he lost, to Harry Cohen, and the laces to John Curtin. Helen Connelly, that modern Helen of Troy, leaves her favorite song of songs, “The Lullaby of Broadway” to Grace McNally. Phyllis Culpon, that individual who disbelieves in “egoism” leaves her thirst for beautiful hair to Mary Greenler and her special recipe for cooking steaks in kerosene oil to her brother, Horace Culpon, who found out it was kerosene when he took the first mouthful. Kate Daw, the senior dressmaker who knows all about needles and threads, leaves a spool of her two for a nickel thread to Barbara Mason with the knowledge that the thread is too meager to support an attempted suicide, and a needle to Carolyn Currier saying, “Easy there, that’s the last I have.” Mabel Dill, that vociferous girl of many words, leaves a few of her skirts to Grace McNally, her seat on a certain motorcycle to Kathleen Smith, and her sidekick, Ruth Dawson, to the boy of many characteristics, Fred Phelan. 19

JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL to enter a higher institution of learning. Formerly a person in order to follow a certain career, must have previously studied definite subjects pertaining to that profession. Now the trend is to admit any high school graduate who has shown himself capable in his studies to almost any course in a higher institution although he has not prepared for that particular course. From the important trends in education which I have presented to you, we can readily see the splendid efforts which are being carried on to improve that noble structure, which has been imbued by the best principles of our forefathers, which we in our time are striving to make better, in the hope that future generations will benefit by our con¬ tributions as we have benefited by the contributions of those who came before us. Valedictory Parents and Friends: We, the Class of 1935, extend to you at this time our heartfelt ap¬ preciation of your encouragement and interest in our activities and our efforts throughout our four years in high school. Only through your inspiration has it been possible that we are successfully completing our high school careers. We hope that the rest of our lives will show to you the gratitude and appreciation which is in our hearts tonight. Dear Principal and Teachers: The guidance and advice which you have given to us during the last four years we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Words can hardly express the deep debt of gratitude we owe you, and it is with a deep feeling of regret that we say these few simple words of farewell. We shall endeavor, in the future, with a steadfast effort, to prove ourselves worthy of your aid and interest. Schoolmates: After the many happy years of friendship we are coming tonight to the parting of the ways. As we leave you to fill our places and carry on our tasks and ideals, we extend to you a hope for success in all you undertake. Classmates: The four pleasant years in which we have worked and played together in Johnson Ffigh shall be memories which never dim in our minds; they shall always grow brighter as the years pass on. During this time we have grown to have a mutual affection and respect for one another which nothing can ever replace. As we enter the field of life, let our inspiring motto be our guide toward our goals and a remembrance of the Class of 1935, “ Knozvlcdge is Pozver, and Pozver is Success.” Friends, one and all, as the time comes to part, the Class of 1935 bids you all farewell. THOMAS CEPLIKAS. 18

Gerty Gillespie, that astonishing senior, leaves a pair of stockings (she threw ’em away first) to Tishy Roberts and a pair of garters to Stanley Ward.

Edy Lundquist, most naturally the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lundquist, leaves a bit of the fudge which she made for the A. A. Play to Marion Currier, and her appetite for these delicious sweets to Helen McEvoy, who by the way, should eat Bon Bons instead. Marion Lyon, a Boxford Belle who dosen ' t ring for every one, leaves her share of the Boxford Moon to Deborah Stillings and her ravishingness for an eraser to Irene LaPrelle.

C., to Marie Doiron. Raymond Amery Towne, Jr. leaves his boldness towards girls and his love of dances to that ever giggling junior, Laurence Higginbotham. 20
