Bmineff Manager Presidentls Address for Class Day TODAY the members of the Class of 1936 have con- vened here for the last time before being graduated. On this occasion, we are pleased to include in our assembly our parents, teachers, and very close friends. We feel that our accomplishments have been made much easier by the love, guidance, and encouragement for which they have been responsible. We joyfully seize this opportunity to express our gratitude to you, dear parents, for assisting us in over- coming our difficulties which we have encountered. Although our appreciation has appeared to be lacking at times, we hope that your sacrifices will not have been . . in vain and that through our devotion to work and HARRY D. KINGSLEY duty, we may in some sincere manner repay you. pygfjdgm lt is only at the very end of our high school career that we realize the value of the patient efforts of our Principal and teachers to help us acquire knowledge. Similar to the unsung hero, they will never receive their just reward, unless it will be the satisfaction which they will obtain from the achievements of their former pupils. If our course leads us to great deeds, it will be their wisdom and sympathetic understanding that have pointed the way. Classmates, our high school days are over and we are about to venture out upon the vast sea of life. Before we launch our craft, let us christen it with the name Fulf1ll- ment, the fulfillment of the confidence of our parents, instructors, and friends in our ability. Thus, on behalf of the class of ,36, I welcome you, parents and friends to these our class day exercises.

Ruth Stansfield from Tatnuck School says, I'm scared stiif, but that won't keep me from enjoying my studies. Mary Athy from New Woodland boldly states, When I get to be a Sophomore, I'm going to skip school. Gee, won't that be a daring thing to do? Lawrence Freeman from Tatnuck School says, Theres only one drawback to high school: I lose an hour's sleep every morning.

Dick Ryan, dance committee member, was appointed watchman of the light switch. Ed Sweeney sug- gested taking the fingerprints of suspicious looking couples. No one agreed to the suggestion.

The staff reporter was not allowed to be present, but it is thought that Barbara Tolman and Lillian Newfield must have been able hostesses for the occasion, because, besides the eats and games, there were all sorts of favors-from packages of spinach to Shirley Temple Cameras-for all the guests. It has even been rumored that a certain very digni- fied English teacher was seen returning home, in the wee sma' hours of the morning with a dime novel tucked under her arm. Because this report has not been verified, we find it necessary to let our readers draw their own conclusions.

Their Latin teacher has abandoned all hope of rescue. Laboring under difficulties, the re- porter, in search of a story, nearly collided with Violet Gilbride and Barbara jordan as they were groping their way to the doorway in search of overcoats and blankets. They claimed that a brutal attempt had been made to freeze them to death. Both said something about open windows. On the left, the reddish blush of jimmy Reynolds could be easily made out. The girl beside him must have told him that he had pretty eyes. In the rear, the faint forms of Eddie McCann, Dick Drohan, Charlie Hassett, and Eddie Scanlon were faintly descerned. They seemed to be giving free, yes, very free translations of the affair between Dido and Aeneas. When the newspaperman left, Joey Edinburg was still attempting to pass a questionable-looking note to Louise Jordan or one of his lady friends down front. The fog was still very thick .....

Katherine Sinclair, Clair Historian Sevenleen Tomorrow Y A MOST of us look toward the future yearningly and hopefully. For us, that future is expressed aptly in the word l'Tomorrow. The dying patriot who had fought for independence knew the worth of this as his dimming eyes wandered toward the horizon, and smiled with the thought that tomorrow would bring peace. Whether in France, England or America, individuals were united by these ambitions for freedom and laid down their lives with the utterance of liberty on their lips. Yes, Tomorrow opened up, as it were, splendors to the ambitious soul like the horn of plenty spreading riches to the deserving. The panorama of History, as it unfolds before our eyes, portrays human sufferings and attainments which point out a lesson to us. Let me cite a few notable examples of this undying devotion to the cause of tomorrow. EUGENE O. BALCANOFF The Romans, a wealthy people whose lust for power caused them to ignore this priceless possession of freedom, were overthrown. Gibbon, the famous English His- torian, says that the conditions which existed at that time are existing today and that we are looking more and more for wealth rather than liberty. The eminent French philosopher, Rousseau, who is often given credit for starting the French Revolution, kindled an immense enthusiasm for liberty as an inalienable right. The Puritans sep- arated from England because of the love that they had for freedom. The friendship of France through kindred sympathies concerning the identical cause was aroused by the American desire for independence. Today we are confronted by problems regarding the same issue. Dictatorships, an aftermath of the war and of grievances directly caused by war, demonstrated the peoples' dissatisfaction by forces which led them to be participants in this. Blinded by petty discontents people accepted the doctrines although contradictory to those indis- putable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which Thomas Jef- ferson advocated in his preamble to the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Paine, also, in his Common Sensef' enumerated these principles as cause for our separation from the mother country. The innumerable issues which challenge us tend to be confusing, but youths are becoming more and more aware that they must play a greater part in National Af- fairs. To students aspiring to advancement in learning, these trends are significant, and their solution materially depends upon us. Eigbleen ,9 WW W L.,-L., , . 7.7,-XL... f . , . . . ,W , SE iveercauesesaei Q 0 ,MEQTH-IIS QQ As we progress through school, we gain discernment sufficient to prevent us from becoming prejudiced. Tolerance and a kindlier outlook on the world will be of immense value. lt is today as it was yesterday, and indeed always has been, a question of values, a balancing of qualities. If the more malicious elements gain sufficient strength, we have wars and disagreements. In view of these turbulent times when Europe seethes like a boiling caldron, it is for us, as citizens of tomorrow, to overcome these pernicious elements and fearlessly attack the inherent ills, gaining assurance from the fact that ours is the problem of remedying Nationalistic principles. Let us then take arms against this sea of troubles as pioneers were wont to do. Let us adopt their noble example of boldly setting out for new frontiers against formidable odds, since theirs is a glorious instance of Americanism and Heroism. Helpful and healthful attitudes have been given to us by our teachers. This heritage will be of permanent value to us as we enter new fields. We must not be dismayed by recurring depressions, their ramifications must not instill terror in our hearts. As the seeds of wisdom gain root in our souls, we shall gain confidence. To- morrow's performance will be a credit to past teachings and endeavors. Let us then liken ourselves to pioneersg let us pave the way for a better Tomor- row, a Tomorrow where yesterdays fallacious prejudices, fears and misunderstandings receive conscientious burial. With increased confidence and courage beating in strong breasts, valiantly we set sail for new shores. Hope like a fresh west wind spins us onward toward friendly and cheerful destinations. We shall, perhaps, steer our ship through stormy waves and rocky channels, but like our forefathers aboard the Mayflower, let us be exultant in the vision of the promised land, our ears attuned to life's problems and eyes undimmed by fog or wind, always gazing onward. A new paradise beckons us to new attainments. For us, that promised land is Tomorrow.', Our rewards for this attainment have been best expressed by the late Rudyard Kipling when he says- And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blameg And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of working, and each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are! Nineteen Class Will . Q BE it remembered, that we, the graduating class of 1956 of Classical High School of Worcester, Massa- chusetts, the Heart of the Commonwealth, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby collectively ac- knowledge this to be our last and only will and testa- ment. We therefore, bequeath the following items, ac- cording to lawful procedure: To Mr. Fenner and the faculty of this institution of learning, we leave our sincere gratitude and profound appreciation for their guidance and forbearance during these past four years Qsix for some of us.j To Mr. Cantwell and his associate directors, we - dedicate the proposed new field house and our best GENE QLMS1-EAD wishes for success and loads of hot water in the showers. Terlazlor To the Juniors, we leave the opportunity of ex- panding the scholastic and athletic achievements we have maintained during our sojourn. To the Sophomores, our blessings upon passing through the wise fool stage of their lives. To the Freshmen, we bequeath our hopes that in the near future they may come to school without their bibs. To the honor students, our best wishes for the future and thanks for keeping our scholastic record so high. The blessing of never again having such pencil-throwers is wished upon a certain first floor teacher. Harry Kingsley's niche in Classical's Hall of Fame is left to some most worthy junior, if one can be found. Tiny Rich leaves a little avoir-du-pois to some of the undersized freshmen. Louisa Clark leaves her smooth-running blushing apparatus to Suzanne Cook. Rita Connelly bequeaths her athletic ability to Jean Simonds.

In witness whereof we do set our hand and seal this day of june in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six CLASS OF 1936 Gene Olmstead, Terlatoff Twenty-one The Senior Looks at His Education THE present world-wide interest in youth problems is the result of a recognised need. That young people have special problems arising from conditions of the times is nothing new in itself. As yet we have en- countered only a few of them, but with the end of our high school days at hand, it is necessary that we look back to see what preparations we have made and look ahead to understand in what ways we are ready for the future. But we live in the present, so the most impor- tant thing is to look around and get our bearings before we become adult members of the family, integral parts of our state and our nation. This reflection has shaped the plan of our Commencement program. The question is, how well are we fitted to adjust ourselves to the LU-I-IAN NEWFIELD widening scope of our lives? Besides the enjoyment they have brought, our high school days have taught us many things. We have learned how to get along with a group of other young people, we have formed new acquaintances and have acquired a few real friends. We have discovered that one of the most important functions of our schools is the making of these human contacts. Some of us have also learned how to run our school paper or how to hold executive offices in our clubts. We have come to know the value of cooperation and goodwill. In our class elections we have found out the necessity of submitting to the will of the majority and of placing trustworthy and reliable people in charge of our group affairs. The fundamental Classical, however, has been our four classes daily, and what we have learned in them is excellent, so far as it goes, The subjects taught are the rock-bottom elements of what one needs to become a well-educated adult. Yet even a classical education should meet some of the demands of practical 1936g and as we leave high school after four years, we wonder whether what we have accom- plished justifies the time and effort spent. We wonder how far our study of the classics, for instance, has taught us genuine appreciation of them. And if this appre- ciation is lacking, might we not have started at even simpler beginnings than we do? There are high school students who limit their reading to the comic strips and sport pages in the newspapers, and the short stories in the Sfzizzwiazy Evening Pont- if we dare grant them a plane somewhat above pulp magazines, If that is the case, then let them be taught how to read newspapers correctly, to distinguish between those of high standard and those of low. Let them be encouraged to read the best in current fiction. Such study would establish a natural approach to good modern writ- Twenty-two ,J f if wr Y f f , ,ff-5Y,m: ,, , , , , x? ,W-,AMY Y W H f Qepasemetwin 1 65' c X.f ' ' T 'c 9 ings, which, in turn, would pave the way for a better understanding of the classics. It is not surprising that the student who plunges into Macbeth after deep contemplation over nothing more taxing than Little Orphm Annie is a trifle puzzled. Nearly everyone realizes the value and importance of a civics courseg for a real comprehension by young people of the problems of government should lead to better government in the future. The alert teacher develops his subject in the light of present- day events, bringing in the historical part as a necessary background, and stressing human reactions to the course of government, for after all, it is people we ought to be learning about, rather than dull facts alone. We should be shown the why,' instead of the what, particulars instead of generalities. The feeling that a subject is an assigned task should not be allowed to become general, for in this way lessons become drudgery-and drudgery does not lead to understanding. The actual growth of a student's mind comes when what he is learning concerns his own daily life, when something has a purpose real to him, and by that I do not mean the purpose of getting so many extra credits. If one is driving ahead under his own power, no work will ever be distasteful. In this instance the teacher's influence may be a tremen- dous factor in arousing interest or inspiring effort if the instructor is one whose per- sonality and whose interpretation of his subject make him worthy of the high tradi- tions of his calling. For the classroom trains the mind. One learns how to pursue an orderly train of thought, how to grasp new ideas quickly and how to apply them. Thus have we laid our foundation, and assignments have ceased. Now we have to begin work on our own initiative. This is where we are at a loss, The tendency nowadays to keep children young makes it necessary for us, upon graduation from high school, to have more training in higher institutions or to develop a little more wisdom with age before we are really ready to become men and women. Twenty-ilfree The Senior Looks at His Job N reaching the end of our high school course, we have also completed an important phase of our life. As graduates, We have a right to entertain certain aims and to expect their fulfilment. Our greatest desire, as We step from the supervised routine of school life to the uncertain and ruthless ways of the outside World, is to find our place as a cog in the huge wheel of life. Unless we are to continue our education in college, we hope to obtain a job without the loss of our optimistic spirit, our ambitions, or our ideals. If we are fortunate enough to get any work, we are concerned to have it measure up to certain standards. The wages must not be so low that we shall become discouraged before we begin. Physical ' K surroundings must be generally satisfactory, or our EDNA O- JEFFERY health will be threatened. The hours must be such that we shall have time for pleasure and relaxation, Above all, the position should be one in which we can feel that we are developing and making some advancement, for only in this way can our chosen work hold our enthusiasm and give us true satisfaction. But the conditions in the world of work are not ideal for youth, and we must realize this. Although we are justified in our expectations, we must open our eyes to the existing situation. For instance, there are three million young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five on relief, and there are thousands of others who are roaming idly around the country. There is, also, a continuous outpour of graduates from the many schools all over our land. To make things all the more complicated, the labor world is over-crowded, and the various professions have too many appli- cants knocking at their doors. All this leads us to ask if there is anything that can be done to improve these conditions. Yes, there are ways in which such an unfavorable state of affairs may be bettered. In fact, outside agencies are already enlisted in our behalf. The problems of the youth of to-day are officially recognized by the Federal Government. By an execu- tive order, in June, 1935, President Roosevelt established the National Youth Administration and set aside fifty million dollars to carry out his plans. The objectives of the Act are the finding of employment in private industry for job- less youths, the training for industrial, technical, and professional employment, the providing of Work-relief upon many projects, and the giving of funds for continuing attendance at high school and college. This program is not adequate, but it is a step in the right direction. The success of the Act needs the support and coopera- Twenty-four EQCLASSHC O Qu Q MYTMS if Qs e a tion of the state and local governments. It is heartening to learn that Worcester and many other communities have begun to help. Even the common people of the United States are youth-conscious. They are willing to try to supplement the action of the National Youth Administration. In addition to these organized forces striving to help us, there are various ways in which we must prepare to aid ourselves in obtaining and keeping a job. We must safeguard our health so that we shall have the strength and vitality necessary to fulfill the demands of our employment. Of course, it goes without saying that our personal appearance should always represent us at our best. We should try to cor- rect any obvious personality faults. We should study how to meet people and how to carry on intelligent conversation. By our attitude, we should show an alert interest in our prospective work. We must remember that many people judge us by our daily actions, and it is quite possible that some one whom we favorably impress may recom- mend us for a position. Besides, we should acquire a definite knowledge of what pre- paration we should make for our life of work. It is advisable to develop skills in more than one field, because such a person has many more chances to gain employment. Above all, we should keep on studying in order not to forget what we have mastered. We must keep our technical or professional abilities alive until we can use them in an actual work program. Finally, we must practice perseverance. In spite of all dis- appointments, we must go on living a normal life in a mental and physical sense. This means we have a difficult task to perform, whether we find a job or not. Yet it seems to us that the inevitable outcome of the combined efforts of the National Government, the local governments, and private citizens will be the making of a place in the revolving wheel of industrial life for those of us who are eagerly awaiting our opportunity. Twenty-five The Senior Looks at His Environment y , HE high school senior, as he approaches graduation, is at a critical point in his career Realizing this, he stops to look about him in order to see which features of his environment are of help to him and which should be corrected. As he does this, he notices' immediately that the family as an influence over young people no longer holds the place it formerly did. He wonders about this change,-what caused it, and what results it may have. If we consider why these changes have come, we Hnd that contributing to the instability of the modern home are several factors, one of the greatest of which is mobility of our population. Each year millions of our rural residents move to the city, it is true that many city families take up farm life, but it is only very rarely that this balance is favorable to the farming districts. In this way the stable old country home is being constantly changed for the city apartment. Coincidental with this crowding of our population into the cities, has been the development of many modern forms of recreation not harmful in themselves, but tending to disturb family life to such an extent that youth no longer considers sufhcient the recreational diversions provided by the home, in fact, many young people do not stay at home nowadays even when they have no specific place to go. If this is true in homes of moderate comfort, what is the condition in the homes of those poverty-stricken people in the slums of our great cities? The harmful effect of living in crowded, unsanitary tenement houses is now generally recog- nized. In Great Britain the national government has embarked upon an ambitious program of slum clearance, and in this country various private organizations of social workers have long been doing their best to better conditions, but there is still room for improvement. Homes such as these, which are unable to provide decent living conditions, can hardly be expected to provide recreation. One result of this driving of children into the streets to find amusement is the general misuse of leisure and, ultimately, the formation of street gangs engaged in petty crimes. The number of cases now being tried in juvenile courts is testimony to this effect of a lack of useful occupation for leisure hours, occupation once provided by the home. The tendency for the delinquent youth to develop into the hardened criminal is well known. The outlook, then, is darkly menacing, for organized racketeering, the product of the petty crimes of youth, annually costs the citizens of Chicago the appalling sum of SS145,000,000, to say nothing of the greater loss in the lowering of moral standards of the general public. If such conditions prevailed in the majority of cities, as they certainly will if preventive measures are not taken, our country will be overrun with crime. ROLAND S. BRAND Twenty-.fix ,J Y ,M ,,-X ,, , , ,, gorercamessao Q Q5 0 lMIYj'QFJ34HSf 3 The inability of the modern city home to supply worth while amusements has led to the establishment of recreational facilities by city governments, but these provisions are painfully inadequate. Various community organizations are making efforts to relieve this situation, so that it seems reasonable to believe that eventually everyone will have opportunity for the use of public parks and playgrounds. There is another need, however, which is not so generally appreciated: that is, competent supervision of public playgrounds and a program of athletic contests between organized teams in city-wide leagues. A supervised competitive program such as this would make for harder, yet cleaner and more sportsmanlike, play than do the pick-up games which at present are the only ones available. In regard to recreational activities there is room for improvement in another line. To be of any use, an educational amusement must appeal to youth more than his ordinary pursuits, or he will not co-operate. The solution lies in teaching youth to prefer these beneficial amusements to detrimental ones. Such training should be in- cluded in the programs of our public schools. Many individual teachers have at- tempted this by discussions in class of moving pictures, books, and radio programs, but this education should be made a part of the regular school instruction. Although the modern family, not entirely through its own fault, may have failed in some of its functions to such an extent that city and even state and national governments have been forced to take measures calculated to make up these deficiencies, in another respect the family of to-day is far advanced over the family of fifty years ago. I refer to the awakened civic conscience of our people generally. The nation- wide response to the call of the Red Cross at the time of the recent Hood is concrete evidence of the prevailing Do unto others-'T policy of our society. This altruistic spirit is an indication of the progress of America, slow though it may be, toward the ideal state of complete harmony dreamed of throughout the ages. Twenty-:even The Senior Looks at His Country Y Y S we raise our eyes from the scrutiny of problems peculiar to youth as individuals and as members of a community to consider our difficulties on a national scale, we see four burning question-marks. The hrst of these, undoubtedly the first to scorch us, is the unemployment situation. lt is a condition created entirely by another generation, whose mistakes may be visited on us in the form of general economic insecurity, if not in actual suffering. Their business methods, which are necessarily one cause of the depression, we must accept without stint or reservation or be labelled un-Americanf, Meanwhile all remedial legislation , must run the gauntlet of' blind partisanship, demagogy, and big business to have its sharp edges smoothed away before it appears on the statute books. The result is a slow, hard-won progress that lags behind present- day needs. An outgrowth, in part at least, of the years of depression is the fast-mounting public debt. Washington is spending money at a rate comparable to that of war-time, and when we consider that economists blame war-time spending for many of to-day's troubles, we wonder for what further financial distress today's spending may pave the way. Of one thing we may be sure: our generation is to look forward to the re- payment of the largest debt total the United States has ever incurred. A third shadow on the horizon for youth is the possibility of war. True, pessi- mists have predicted war for the past decade, but a multitude of false prophecies by no means precludes the fact of real peril. If one of the several danger spots of the world does flare up, the question arises, Will America be drawn in? We, who have had but a comparatively few years to enjoy normal life, answer with an emphatic No, But will our objections arrest the Yea's of voices far more powerful than ours? Looking at the government, we see another enigma. Governments change with the timesg and with affairs in the United States and the world as unsettled as they are, it is hardly to be expected that ours will be able to pursue approximately the same policy toward business and industry that it has in the years before depression. There- fore it is reasonable to assume that, as time goes on, the government will either strengthen and extend bureaucracy, or swing back toward a lairrez-faire policy. Which shall we favor, and how shall we enforce our decision? WALTER F. GRUzD1s The answer to these and all other questions related to the problems of youth we must seek within ourselves. In a republic such as ours the best means of exercising Twenty-eight 55iOCLASSHC Q C65 Q NGYTH-QS E X I ' 9 Q2 intelligent control over the factors that govern our lives in a material way is to give ourselves intensive training for citizenship, We must train ourselves in analytical and constructive thinking now, by applying our theoretical and idealistic school-knowledge to current events, including those of our daily life, and we must practice such think- ing when we have the voting privilege. Though the vital force for such a program must come from within, educational institutions would be far from error in laying more stress on those courses that stimulate original thinking and that emphasize whatever encourages an intelligent interest in public affairs. Perhaps even more important is the development of those qualities of character that mean worthy ideals, for if a man's attitude is ignoble or self-seeking, no amount of intellectual ability can make his services valuable to his state or his nation. In the end, we hnd that it is not beyond us to mold our own futures, in spite of the threatening diniculties. To find our life work, to become an integral part of the home, to take our part in community life, and to become worthy American citizens will not be easy, but we have good faith in our ability to follow our chosen path. How well we fulfill our intentions is a matter for anticipation and hope, not speculation or dread.

ARTHUR WOLFE Fifty-three isoclmllzsl Student Council As usual, the Student Council proved itself to be Classical's 'lOld Faithful, unobtrusive but always ready to lend a hand. The yearly routine of boosting Argzzr and Athletic Association subscriptions, selling tickets for the Class Games, and taking care of special assignments was taken care of in fine style. The highlight of the year's program was the very pleasant duty of acting as ushers Classical's annual Parents' Nightf' A new policy of having teachers remain in their rooms to receive visiting parents caused the services of the ushers to be greatly in demand. However, nearly as many inquiries were made as to the whereabouts of the biology room as for reaching all the other rooms together, for there was housed Classical's great pet show, which could have provided an evening's entertainment in itself. The most interesting single exhibits seemed to be Robert Larrabee's monkey and Louise Rocheleau's duck. Besides the pet show and the special given in the hall, there were postage stamp and freehand and mechanical drawing exhibits. Here's hoping that next year's show will be as popular. Olificers for the year were the following: president, Harry Kingsley g vice-president, Rita Connellyg secretary, Elizabeth Chappleg treasurer, Stuart Gibbs. Rifle Club Having enjoyed its seventh year of success, the Worcester High School Rifle Club has continued to prove itself one of the outstanding organizations of the school. The present members have carried on the spirit of fair play and competition infused into the club by the founders who in 1930 organized under a charter of the National Rifle Association. Membership is limited to twenty boys from the various city high schools. Good character and the ability to handle fire arms constitute the requirements for admission to this select and limited group. The purpose of the club is two-foldg to train good marksmen and to develop sportsmanship in the members. . . The activities of the organization are ably directed by faculty adviser, Mr. Allan G. Rice. Regular rifle practice is held every Friday at the range of the Worcester Pistol and Rifle Club and tournaments are frequently held with other clubs. Occasional trips to Mr. Rice's camp in Hubbardston vary the program. There are several outstanding marksmen in the club. William Howland is classed as an expert rifleman according to National Rifle Association standards. This enviable record has been held in the past by Melvin Rafuse, Sanborn Hutchins, LeMoyne Burleigh, Lawrence Merow, and john Mitchell. The present club officers are president, Norman Bernierg vice-president, William Driscoll, secretary, George Archambaultg and treasurer, Philip DeLong. Fifty-four Argus If Classical has enjoyed reading its A-rgzzr this past year, the Argzzr board mem- bers have certainly enjoyed putting it out. The lively discussions arising at the different meetings and the friendly intimacy of the members will be things they will never forget, and will be carried away as precious memories associated with Classical. Having Miss Shaughnessy for a faculty adviser was a decided asset for this board, and will be for all to come, because she is a grand person whose friendly interest and good humor toward students always make them come back to see her after graduation. Unfortunately, when the board of '36 was just trying its wings, Miss Shaughnessy was taken ill, and the first number was put out without her direction. Thanks to Miss Phillips the October issue did come out on time, but little can anyone realize the agonies felt by this inexperienced staff in such a situation. It was a real baptism of fire. For the November number the board was formally organized with Lillian Newfield and Walter Gruzdis as editors, joseph Edinburg, Eleanor Garvey, Florence Ginns, Richard Pease, Ruth Stansfield, and Barbara Tolman, senior assistants, Alden Boyd the lone junior. Since then George Cohen, Suzanne Cook, and Lawrence Freeman, juniors, were added. This was the second year in which the co-editor system was used. It is very practical: the girl looks after the literary end and presides at meetings, while the boy takes care of the printing and composing. The business affairs are managed by a special staff, this year Ronald Brand and Richard Ramsdell, with Mr. Arey as faculty adviser. The December number was immensely popular-a Christmas story book with parodied fairy tales and illustrations by our art classes. The Tower Room was a new feature of this year, presenting odd facts about the history of the school, its faculty and pupils. The April issue presented an Argur in the form of a text-book with a picture of a slate on the cover and burlesqued lessons inside. This arrangement of the paper further illustrated the general aim of this year's board, namely, to have more specialized issues, as nrst shown in the Christmas book. The editors of '56, in handing down our school paper to the succeeding board, wish it luck and leave it the prospect of good times and pleasant work in producing new Argmer. Fifly-five Aletheia Aletheia has completed another successful year under the guidance of Miss Phillips. The officers for the year were Barbara Tolman, president, Alva Pearson, vice-president, jean Simonds, secretary, Milda Valatka, treasurer. The first meeting, held in October, was a novelty meeting to introduce the new members and to make the girls acquainted. Informal debates on the relative worth of the books on the school list were held at tables labelled Affirmative and 'lNegative. Reports on some new books by Hilton, Beith, Walpole, and Webb were given at the November meeting. These books were informally talked about at the Round Table discussion which followed. In December a Christmas party was given at Ruth Stanslield's house. The club gave Miss Phillips, as its Christmas gift, the book Now in November by Josephine johnson. Games were played and a one-act parody on a melodrama was presented. The refresh- ment committee served the members delicious food. The January meeting was a joint-meeting between Aletheia and the Debating Assembly. A representative from Aletheia gave a book report on Old jules by Mari Sandozg a member of C.H.S.D.A. gave a declamation. Then a debate on the question, Resolved: that a college education is more practical for the average American boy than for the average girlf' The girls were awarded the decision by the three judges. The February meeting was held on Valentine's day. The meeting had humorous reports on books by Mark Twain, P. G. Wodehouse, Lincoln, and O. Henry. Informal talks were given on subjects which were drawn from a hat. Naturally these extempor- aneous speeches added much to the humor of the meeting. The March meeting was a moviei' meeting. The movies were discussed relative to the books. It was very interesting to show the main differences between the two. Some- times the members favored the changes, and sometimes they felt they were unsuitable. At the April meeting we had discussions of plays. Some of the most interesting dis- cussions were about the plays: The Blue Bird, Michael and Mary, Green Pastures and justice, Miss Phillips had seen most of the plays and told us about the stage ef- fects. We tried to get a conception of the technique of play-writing. The May meeting was a poetry meeting. The speaker for the meeting was Miss Philli s. 'IEhe june meeting was the annual spring party. We played funny games and had delicious refreshments. Thus a congenial group concluded its pleasant year. Fifzy-.fix C.. Hr, S, D.. A, Perhaps no other Classical organization has kept up its enthusiastic spirit year after year as has the C.H.S.D.A. Under the able direction of faculty adviser, Mr, Perry S. Howe, the Assembly has been outstandingly successful in accomplishing its major aim-that of developing in the members ease of manner and expression before an audience. At the bi-monthly meetings, programs of real merit are presented. These include well delivered declamations and debates, with interesting periods of floor discussion following. Debate topics are always subjects of current interest, and by listening to the arguments of both sides, the members learn more than they ever would from newspapers. Frequently the program is varied, some meetings featuring an open discussion with one leader for the negative side and one for the affirmative. One unusual program was of- fered in the form of a joint meeting of the C.H.S.D.A. with the Aletheia. One of the eagerly awaited events of the year is the annual declamation contest held before an assembly of the school. This year, as in several preceding, the competition was very keen. Eugene Balcanoff and Edward Maher tied for first prize, while the third was awarded to Lawrence Freeman. Balcanoff and Maher were sent to represent Classical at the annual Lyland Oratorical Contest at Colby College. Another annual program presented before the student body is the debate. This year the subject dealt with the principles of the NRA. julian Feingold and Lawrence Free- man upholding the affirmative were adjudged the victors over Harold Rome and joseph Driscoll of the negative side. The prize donated by Mr. Fenner for the best individual work was divided among julian Feingold, Lawrence Freeman, and Harold Rome. Officers from October 1935 to February 1936 were as follows: Harold Rome, president, Edward Maher, vice-president, julian Feingold, secretary, and Lduis Hurwitz, treasurer. Those elected for the period from February to June 1936 were: julian Fein- gold, president, Matthew McCann, vice-president, Lawrence Freeman, secretary g and Louis Hurwitz, treasurer. Fifty-.feven Green Room Club Witli all the dramatically inclined students at Classical, it is easy to see why our Green Room Club is so popular. Friday night, May 1, was the club's big night, for it was then that l'Dulcy, the senior play, 1 was presented in the Horticultural Hall before an enthusiastic audience, Q The cast of this popular three-act comedy was exceptionally well chosen, W, and they proved to all their capability as entertainers. Charming Alice ' Arey played the part of well-meaning, but meddlesome Dulcy so well that by the end of the first act it seemed as though things could never be normal again. Because the love matches, etc., which she had so carefully fixed did not come out exactly as planned, the outcome of the play was surprisingly delightful. Other members of the excellent cast were: Merrill Skeist, Robert Davis, john Berry, Bar- bara Cowee, Robert Donoghue, Virginia Dolan, S. Gilbert Davis, Edward Maher, Louis Hurwitz, and Nathaniel Mencow. Mr, Post, the faculty adviser of the Green Room Club and coach of the play, deserves much of the credit for making Dulcy a success. Each meeting during the past year has brought with it a new one-act play or skit in which the students taking part were given the opportunity not only to develop their own acting ability, but also to entertain the other members of the club. A very unusual Christmas play, entitled Beggars, Charity, was presented in the assembly hall and also in the Free Public Library. This entertaining one-act play brought out the spirit of Christmas in a most original manner. The audiences enjoyed and sym- pathized with the experiences of three beggars, portrayed by joseph Driscoll, Nathaniel Mencow, and Robert Davis. Edith Carlson, joseph Drohan, Morton Esterkes, John Berry, Gilbert Davis, and Katherine Sinclair were the other members of the cast. Judging by Dulcy,', Beggars Charity, and the frequent short plays presented at the meetings, the Green Room Club has had an interesting and busy year. Officers for the year were: President, Edward Maher, vice-president, Edna Jeffery, secretary, Marion Sault, treasurer, john Power. Fifly-eight Pythagorean Club The Pythagorean Club was founded in 1916 by Miss Pierce, who served as its faculty adviser for many years. This year the club has tried several new ideas under the leadership of Earl Bellis, the president, and his officers: Barbara Cowee, first vice-presi- dent, jean McCann, second vice-president, Rita Connelly, secretary, Ronald Brand, treasurer, Mr. Couming, the faculty adviser, did much to make this club year a success. The first meeting was held in October. -The constitution and plan of work were read. The plan of work consists of the rules by which one can acquire a pin. The pro- gram was given over to the subjects of the early mathematicians and astronomers. Among these was Pythagoras, to whom the club owes its name. The next meeting was held in December and papers on primitive astronomy, geometric forms, counting, and scales were read. An unusual feature was the play which was then presented. The play, Alice in Dozenland, humorously pictured a girl of today who suddenly found herself in a land where the unit of counting was twelve instead of ten. The january meeting consisted of an intelligence test presented by Mr. Couming. The test contained twenty problems, some tricky, some purely mathematical. The mem- bers figured up their own score. Then a trick with some pencils was performed by Ronald Brand and Mr. Couming. Although not considered a meeting, the sliding party held at Violet Gilbride's house was an outstanding event during the course of the club year. Sliding, skiing, toboggan- ing were features of the evening. When all were thoroughly cold, they returned to the house where refreshments were served. The February meeting also was an unusual event. The main subject was the slide- rule. Slide-rules were passed out to the members and Mr. Couming showed them how to operate the rules. The April meeting had a very interesting and well-planned program. Papers were read on Trisecting the Angle,', Duplicating the Cube, Magic Squares, 'Properties of Squares and Cubes' and 'lAncient Problems. The members did all the work of preparing their speeches themselves. A P The final meeting of the year was the annual meeting, in which the reports of the secretary and treasurer were given and new officers were elected. Fifty-nine History Club At the beginning of the term, the club subscribed to several current magazines which have been available for use by members throughout the two semesters. Another innovation was the enrollment of the September President and later the February President in the Foreign Policy Association, The officers elected for the fall term were: Harold Rome, president, Dora McLean, vice-president, Muriel Raphaelson, secretary, and Nathaniel Mencow, treasurer. The result of the second elections were as follows: Edward Maher, president, Alva Pearson, vice-president, Marion Hayden, secretaryg and joseph Edinburg, treasurer. Following is a resume of a few of the meetings. In the October meeting the chief subject of discourse was the Italo-Ethiopian situation which helped to widen our scope of knowledge of an important, contemporaneous question. In january the theme of the program was a consideration of the Effect of the Supreme Court on the United States, Liberal judges, and Conservative Judges. At the March meeting the club decided to have a librarian and Eleanor Garvey was appointed. The members and their subjects for the evening were: Farm Bills by Muriel Skeist, Inflation by julian Feingold, The Olympics by Elwyn Lindstrom, Neutrality by Alva Pearson, and T.V.A. by Ann Kelleher. In April the program consisted of talks on important events in the history of to-day, such as Britain's New King, Floods, and Hitler Militarizes the Rhinelandf' In May the History Club had charge of an assembly for the juniors and seniors, and a week later one for the freshmen and sophomores. President Edward Maher, who was chairman for the day's activities, introduced the club's illustrious guest speakers. Lady Daffodil, otherwise known as Florence Ginns, spoke on the English form of govern- ment. Signor Alvoisa, who is known as julian Feingold, a representative and aide of Mussolini, gave a lecture on the Italian government. Milda Valatka, as Comrade Lit- vinoff, spoke on Russia and its problems. Then last, but not least, the well-liked Senator Horatio Seymour who strikingly resembles Joseph Driscoll talked on the United States government. The assembly was not only enlightening but also enjoyable. The Senior class members hope the History Club may keep up its good work and continue to grow in prestige. Sixty BOYS' GLEE CLUB GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Musical Organizations ' Under the able guidance of Mr. Wassell the musical organiza- tions have enjoyed this year the greatest success of their existence. Orchestra A, a well-balanced group of more than forty pieces, did some traveling. Its members journeyed once to Haverhill to take part in the Massachusetts High Schools Music Festival and once to Portland, Maine, the scene of the New England Festival. The Class- ical orchestra won the highest rating, 94 per cent, and Judge Irving Cheyette of Columbia University, an olhcial of the festival, praised Mr. Wassell for the ability of his pupils. Besides playing several times for assemblies and filling a few outside engagements, they also provided the highlight for the annual concert, playing with technical skill and interpretation of professionals Beethoven's overture, Promeilaenr, and the three movements of Delibes' ballet, Sylvia. Y The band was one of the most active organizations in the school. They played for assemblies a number of times, marched in a parade, and accompanied the football team on its trip to Fall River. Their offering at the concert was the overture La Dame de Coeur, by Gagnier, and a march, Our Great Legion, by Lake, the latter number being enhanced by the plain and fancy baton-twirling of Harry Patterson, drum-major. The Madrigal Club, composed of twenty picked voices, is a new organization which has been enthusiastically received. This group sings unaccompanied and the effects produced are remarkable. Two madrigals, Now Ir tloe Mouth of Maying by Morley and Nymph arzcl Swain by Stewart and an old Negro melody O Mary, Don'l You Weep comprised their portion of the concert program. We have not heard so much from the Boys' Glee Club lately but the concert per- formance of two selections, Could My Sorzgr Their Wfay Be Winging, by Hahn, and The Turtle Dove by Vaughan-Williams proved that the fellows are not wasting those fourth hours every Monday. The Girls' Glee Club has improved greatly both in size and in the quality of their work as witnessed by the enthusiastic reception at an assembly and at the concert. Four of Brahms' delightful love songs and the familiar American folk song, The Arlearrrarr Traveller, comprised the part of this group's repertoire performed at the concert. The last named number had the whole audience foot-tapping. The Mixed Chorus is composed of singers selected from the two Glee Clubs. Their offering at the concert was a chorale by Bach, Now All the Woody Are Sleeping and Caesar Franck's I50lla Pralrrz. The immense chorus of the Worcester Music Festival sang this psalm a few years ago, a fact which will give some idea of the ambition of our comparatively untrained singers in attempting such great works. Orchestra B, which exists primarily to give novices training for future work in Orchestra A, was also at the concert. Combined with Orchestra A they opened the program with Gounod's stirring March Pomfipcale and followed with the delicate Amaryllif, by Ghys, a gavotte typical of the time of Louis XIII. il Sixly-Iwo I ORCHESTRA A WON THE HIGHEST RATING OF NEW ENGLAND HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRAS AT PORTLAND, MAINE, MAY 25, 1936. THIS DISTINCTION WAS CONFERRED BY THE NEW ENGLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION. THE BAND French Club The French Club is a new addition to the list of extra-curricula activities of Classical. It has been started largely through the efforts of Rita Galipeau with the kind cooperation of Mr. Fenner and Mr. Bodurtha who graciously consented to be the faculty adviser. The purpose of the club is to further the interest of students in the French language. The meetings, which are held on the first Thursday of every month, have been well planned. At the first meetings, a certain amount of time was taken in discussing the organization of the club. In addition, a short French comedy, Vent d'Ouest, was presented. the topic of Bastille Day and Its Observance was discussed, and a French fable was recited. At different times, favorite folk songs, such as Alouette and Sur le pont d'Avignon, were sung to the delight of the members. One of the most instruc- tive programs consisted of a talk in French by Paul Bolduc, a young man who spoke on his travels in France and on the difference between French and American schools. Hc seemed to think that we have much more pleasure and freedom than French students, and that we should be satisfied with our lot. The present officers are as follows: john Power, president, Rita Galipeau, vice- presidentg Edna Jeffery, secretary, Mathew McCann, treasurer. The new club has already accomplished so much this year that we hopefully look forward to its continued progress in the future. Sixty-four Stamp Club The Stamp Club not only enables its members to enlarge their own stamp collec- tions but it gives them opportunity to gain much valuable knowledge about their hobby. The educational value of stamps and their relation to the history of various countries is stressed as well as the mere gathering of the stamps. In this way, the members have a thorough understanding of their collecting. This year, for the first time, Mr, McKinley has acted as faculty adviser and his help has been greatly appreciated by the club. The ollicers for 1935-36 are as follows: Sydney Fielding, president, james Reynolds, vice-president, Matthew McCann, treasurer, and Fred Barton, secretary. William Wood and Charles Hassett have capably managed the programs, which have featured outside speakers as well as topics given by members. Exhibitions and auctions have been held throughout the year, along with the regulation meetings which have included such subjects as First day covers, rare stamps, and the history of stamps, Mr. Roger Marble was a very interesting guest speaker, showing several ways of collecting and mounting stamps. Sixty-five Botany Club An outstanding member of Classical's family of clubs is the Botany Research Club. Since its foundation in 1922, it has made such rapid strides ahead that it is one of the most important extra-curricula activities offered by Classical. Admission to the society is confined to those who have obtained a grade of B in the subject. The club started its varied program for this year with an outing at Treasure Valley. The society exhibited a fine display of plants, leaves, flowers, different kinds of wood, and experiments for Parents, Night. Among the speakers for the meetings were our own Mr. Howland on the rare topic of Botanical Facts of the Pilgrims and Eddie Buyniski, a former member of the club, on Health, Drugs, and Botanyf' Many enjoy- able and Educational topics were presented by the members of the club such as The Great Wall of China, Pitcairn Island, and People and Conditions of Manchukuof' One whole meeting was devoted to the botanical facts pertaining to cosmetics. It was shown how worthless some of the costly powders and creams are and how senseless it is to use them. At another time one of our seniors, Herman Dawson, gave an illustrated talk on the extensive travels of one of his relatives, a noted botanist. In May, the club went on its usual trip to Boston and its surroundings. They visited Fordls Mill, Wayside Inn, the State House, the Harvard Museum, Concord, Lexington, the Navy Yard, and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Everybody is still talking about the fun he had on the tour. The officers for the first semester were: Edna Jeffery, president, Florence Ginns, vice-president, Anne Kelleher, secretaryg John Peterson, treasurer. The present staff is composed of the following: Anne Kelleher, president, Helvi Hagner, vice-president, Lenora Winslow, secretary, john Peterson, treasurer. The Botany Research Club owes its splendid success to Mr. Hearn who whole-heart- edly works for its progress. We hope that next year it will continue to measure up to its past high standards. Science Club Again the Science Club has succeeded in its serious mission of bringing about a closer relation between the lecture room and the workaday world, Though there is much that is spectacular in the realm of science, Mr. O'Regan has wisely admonished members of the club to remain away from meetings if they wish only to see something work. At each regular meeting, papers were read which dealt usually with some par- ticular branch of applied science. They were intended not to train the listeners to become technicians in the industry under discussion, but to impart to them information of more cultural than practical value. Instead of learning merely that paper is made from wood, or that glass is made from sand, alert listeners stored away information concerning the theoretical, practical, and economic problems encountered in particular branches of industry. Discussions covering these points do much toward preventing pupils from building a lopsided view of the interaction of practical and ideal considerations in life. A more general realization that the cultivated man can listen intelligently to a discus- sion of a technical or semi-technical problem as well as quote from the classics will un- doubtedly lead to more widespread interest in the activities of the Science Club. At the special meeting in March, Mr. Frey, of the Worcester Gas Light Company, demonstrated the manufacture of illuminating gas by means of a miniature gas plant. His lecture was followed up in April by Charles M. Pomerat of Clark University, who spoke on various aspects of biology. A trip to Worcester's sanitary engineering plant in May concluded the club's activi- ties for the year. S ixt y-5 ix Agassiz Club The Agassiz Club has had an extremely interesting and profitable year. The club, under the able and comradely guidance of Mr. Bester C. Weed, can look back with pleasure on the varied and enjoyable programs. The officers from September to February 1935-36 were as follows: President, Thaddeus jakubiakg Vice-president, Dora Klatsky, Secretary, Anita Freeman, and Treasurer, Mary Chynsky. At the September meeting the new members were accepted, and the constitution of the club read by the secretary. The program consisted of a talk on lean Louis Agassiz by Dora Klatsky which was followed by one on Poison Ivy by Mary Chynsky. The highlight of the October meeting was a weiner roast in the woods. The November meeting was short, its purpose was the discussion of the Parents' Night Program. It was agreed to have a pet show and William Wood was appointed chairman. At the December meeting a party was held for the members. Refreshments were served and games played. The program committee consisted of Mary Chynsky, Robert Nye, Thaddeus jakubiak, and Eugene Vaitekunis. The january meeting was held for the purpose of electing new officers. Those elected were as follows: William Wood, President, Doris MacIntosh, Vice-president, Claire Clark, Secretary, and Robert Nye, Treasurer, The meeting was taken over by the new president who named his program committee. They were Eugene Vaitekunis, chairman, Audrey Hearn, and Robert Fielden. Special topics were given by Eugene Vaitekunis, Claire Clark, Robert Nye, Anita Freeman, and Bernard Schorr. Snow-shoes and skis were the trademarks of the Agassiz Club members as they met for a nature trip at their March meeting. The meeting was delightfully informal and, needless to say, everyone had a good time. At another March meeting Mr. Weed and President William Wood gave fascinat- ing talks on homing pigeons. On April 9 the Agassiz Club went to Linda Vista farm in Holliston. They saw wonderful peacocks with gorgeous tails, pigeons, parrots and various other birds. As a memento of their visit, the members were each given a bouquet of peacock feathers. Their program for the year has also included a visit to the Alta Crest Dairy Farms at the May meeting and a trip to Boston, the final meeting in June. Most Popular . Brightest . Best Looking .

Quickly moulding a formidable eleven, jack prepared his team to receive the invading Springlield Central High. The Tigers, however, were not gentlemanly hosts, administering a 6-O defeat to their guests. Now swinging into their Inter-High series, the Classical gridsters easily crushed South 19-0, the offensive brilliance of Montgomery, Kingsley, and Deknis coupled with a startling pass-interception and subsequent score by the alert Statkus were highlights. The second Inter-High contest with North for an opponent was a bitterly contested battle. Though the final result was a scoreless tie, plenty of good football was displayed by both teams. At this time Classical went on the road, taking the powerful Durfee High of Fall River. As if nettled by the scoreless tie of the preceding encounter, the enraged Tigers clawed out an 18-0 victory. Whether the boys were camera shy or just temperamental is hard to tell. At any rate they lost a heart-breaker to Commerce, a defeat which we'll ascribe to the presence of an M.G.M. movie apparatus unobtrusively taking pictures of the game, Though the boys failed to produce a Rose Bowl finish and overcome Commerce's early seven-point lead, they certainly furnished a thrilling sequence for the movie producers when Deknis reeled off a startling run of twenty-five yards, finally being dragged down on the Commerce ten yard line. Again the hard-plunging Tony cracked the Commerce line only to be halted at the two yard stripe. Here the Classical attack stalled and Commerce won 7-0. The annual Armistice Day classic with St. john's was the next game. Uncovered passes thrown in the dangerous flat zone were the Tigers' undoing, as St. john's easily intercepted them and still more easily ran down a clear field to score. Despite the score of 12-6 against them the wearers of the Blue and White played good, hard football and, though they did not win, deserve commen- dation for fighting till the end. For their next opponent the Classical team drew the highly touted New Rochelle eleven of New Rochelle, New York. The team made an overnight trip for this game, the first Classical had in a long while. The game was brilliant with sparkling action. The undefeated New Yorkers, possessing too much man power and too great reserve strength for the Tigers, crushed Classical 31-15, however, the boys drew consolation from the fact that they were the only team to score two touchdowns on New Rochelle, which, by the way, also finished the season undefeated. Even in defeat the i'Tigers Were striking. Alert playing by Harry Kingsley enabled him to intercept a New Rochelle pass which he carried to the New Yorkers' five yard marker, here, taking to the air, the Worcester boys scored on a beautiful aerial from Deknis to Sweeney. Classical's second touchdown was one of the highlights of the game. For weeks the hoys had practised football's latest innovation, the lateral pass, now executing a delicate series of intricate passes the boys from Worcester Classical cleverly worked jablonski over for a score. The game concluded the Classical schedule, and we find that the boys broke even, winning three, losing three, and tying one. Sixty-nine Boys? Basketball At the first call for basketball candidates Classical's chances for a successful season were the poorest in many years. Tony Dailida, later elected captain, was the only member of the squad who had seen action in previous inter-high games. As the season progressed, how- nf ever, Coach Warren Brierly gradually improved his team until the Classical Tiger was a real threat to South's championship hopes. Of the six inter-high games our boys won four, losing once to Commerce and once to South. The final standing was South first, Classical second, then Commerce, and North last. The boys in blue and white won a majority of their outside games also. By the end of the season the supposedly green team had achieved the very respectable record of twelve victories against six losses. It will also be noted that of the six teams good enough to win over Classical, Woonsocket alone was not in turn defeated by the fighting Tigers. The starting tive in most games were as follows: Forwards, Stutz Modzelewski and Benny Regis, center, Ray Shlorag guards, Capt. i'Tony Dailida and Edu Mikoloski. Substitutes who saw frequent action were Chet Stackelek, Stan Was- kiewicz, Harry Kinsgley and jack Curtin. The stars of the team were Modzelewski and Dailida the former being picked as forward on the all-city and all-inter-high teams and the latter as guard on the all-inter-high. Of this year's squad Modzelewski, Regis, Dailida, Waskiewicz, and Curtin will be available next year, providing Coach Brierly with an unusual number of seasoned veter- ans. It looks like a championship for Classical in 1937. Classical Woonsocket Classical South Classical St. Peter's Classical St. john's Classical South Classical Commerce Classical Clark j.V.

Seventy Track INDOOR Although Classical's indoor track team participated in but two track meets they showed plenty of class and did credit to the work of Coach jack Cantwell. which was held on February 6, saw a goodly number of Classical boys place fields. Statkus won the 600 yard run, Granger was third in the 1000, Deknis hurdles, Mitchell was second in the 300, and Mitchell won the dash. The keen during the season, The Senior Meet, in their respective was second in the competition in the meet was shown by the fact that Frank Statkus, who made 7195 inches in the high-jump, was tied for first place in that event by two rivals. The big meet of the year was held a week later, on February 13. Among the Classicalites who placed were Statkus in the 600, Abbott in the dash, Sloan in the dash, Pokropowicz in the 600, Granger in the 1000, and Statkus in the shot-put. Among other active members of the squad were Trychon and Lainer in the hurdles, Madonna in the 10005 Green in the 300, and Statkus Pokropowicz, Abbott, and Trychon, relayists. Coach Cantwell is convinced that if all his squads showed the pep and enthusiasm of this year's, Classical would have many more championships to boast of. He looks forward to a big season next year. OUTDOOR Last fall the cross-country races were run, and then the boys settled down to wait for the Inter-High Games this spring. They proved to be a great attraction, for more than three thousand spectators attended, many Classical fans among them. But those of us who expected our boys to bring home the bacon were given a severe jolt, for they finished a very poor last. However, the Games themselves were a thrilling affair, the pole-vault and shot-put records being broken. In only two events did Classical make a showing. Ed Sloan won the second heat of the 220-yard dash, and the freshman relay team of Abbott, Cummings, jones, and Greene made second in the 440. Unfortunately the freshman race was not a scoring event. The following boys showed good form in the competition: Trychon in the low hurdles, Bellos in the relay and half-mile, Fleming in the half-mile, Pokropowicz in the half-mile, Martin in the pole-vault, Larrabee in the shot-put, and Granger in the half-mile. The fact that Classical's arch-rival walked off with the honors was a bitter pill to swallow, especially for the seniors, but they showed that they were good losers. The younger boys on the squad held their peace also, remarking that there is always a next time. All were enthusiastic in their praise of jack Cantwell and Al Cravedi, who worked diligently to whip the boys into shape. Seventy-one lu Cross Country The cross-country runners undoubtedly are the forgotten men of Classical. They train as faithfully and work as hard as any other athletes but receive very little recognition. Our hill-and-dalers are justifiably proud of the result of their contest with Millbury High in which three Classicalites finished among the first six. Our team also participated in the Columbus Day three-mile run sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. In this event six of our boys finished among the prize winners. Runners who did well enough to earn letters by their performances in both the long and short inter-high runs fwhich were held between the halves of two of Classical's football gamesj were Capt. Francis Conlin, Co-captain Nathaniel Mencow, Manager Zareh Martin, Sabatino Madonna, Eldon Sloan, and Albert Bellos, Coach Cravedi is looking forward to a successful season next fall since only five of this year's squad of fifteen are graduating. Seventy-Iwo Baseball Classical usually takes the lead in the opening of its athletic seasons, but finishes in the rear. Consequently, when we started out in the rear this year, we were confident of winning, especially with such a strong team. The pitchers were Curtin, Army, E. Graham, and Stakelek, with Sweeney catching, Kearney was at Hrst base, Olmstead at second, and Stakelek at thirdg Gustafson played shortstop, Kingsley, centerfieldg Larrabee, right, and Staruk at left. In our first inter-high game with Commerce, we lost by a score of 18-7. It seemed to take the Classical pitchers, Curtin, Army, Graham, and Stakelek, too much time to warm up, but Hnally Graham held the Blue and Gold. Classical barely missed a victory over Webster High by a score of 4-3. Harry Kingsley made the most hits during this game. Our second inter-high game, and our first victory, was over North by 11-10. With Classical lagging at tirst, we made nine runs in the third inning, wiping out a six run lead of North's. We made another in the fifth inning which made our highest score. Gene Olmstead singled each of the three times he was at bat. Stakelek pitched. Our faint hopes receded again when we lost to South by a score of 6-0. Once again Olm- stead led the majority of hits, but the rest of the Classical batters were unable to support his hits. Although we possessed one of the strongest fields, our batting average was one of the lowest. Classical went to Southbridge for the second victory of 4-3, with Olmstead still leading with the highest batting average. We bowed to Commerce in our second game with them by 5-4. Everett Graham did some excellent pitching, and Kingsley made a few singles, but Commerce made more, North also conquered us in their second game by 11-2. When North started off with a large lead, Coach Brierly, realizing the hopelessness of the situation, put in several sophomores so that they might get their letters. Esterkes, a catcher, showed great promise for the time when Sweeney must leave us. Bob Larrabee made a home run in this game, causing much excitement. We lost to Saint john's 9-6, and Larrabee, our home run king, led in the hitting average. Although we were tied for several innings in the early part of the game, we were unable to hold it. Curtin did the pitching. For these last four games, Coach Briefly had put in Curtin, Graham, and Army, and then Curtin, and decided to keep alternating them. Stakelek gave up his position on the mound to play third base. Although the boys did not win the pennant, they gained much valuable experience which will help the earnest coach, Mr. Brierly, to have a more successful team next year. Seventy-three Boys? Golf The devotees of the royal gamet' have not been overlooked at our school. Since its formation eight years ago, the Golf Club of Classical High School has offered to those who enjoy the game a chance to play in competition with other schools. Besides being a difficult and fascinating sport, more than any other game perhaps, golf calls for a spirit of courtesy and fairness. Moreover, golf puts a player on his honor, for he alone keeps track of his own score. In addition to these things, the club offers its members the opportunity to become acquainted with players of other schools. This, in fact, is one of the chief purposes of the organization. In tribute to their sportsmanship, we are proud to say that whether it be victory or defeat, our players always give a good impression of Classical. One of the clubis outstanding members in the past has been Jerry Anderson who distinguished himself by attaining the State Caddie Championship for two years. Com- prising the group this year are John Curran, captain, Graeme Lindsay, Herbert Padgett, Horace McCowan, Wilfred Graham, James Brown, William Leetin, and John Dolan. Mr Robert S. Erickson is the faculty adviser and has contributed much to the success of the organization. The players have made a good showing this year and it is the sincere wish of this school that the club will continue to grow and meet further success. Seventy-four Boys? Tennis With only one more inter-high match left to play, that with Commerce, it is certain that our boys are this year's tennis champions. So far, not one match with a Worcester high school has been lost. The outcome of the Commerce match can have no bearing on the final standing. Morris Abramoff, Sidney Fielding, Francis Sharry, Leonard Goldsmith, Edmund Ahern, Daniel Myers, and Harold Sirk fmanagerj will receive The substi- tutes, john Grout, Bernard Porter, and Milton Glazer will receive C's . Following is a list of matches: Classical Assumption Classical 7 Norwich O Classical Moses Brown Classical 3 Nashua 3 Classical Middlesex Classical 5 South 2 Classical Cushing Classical 6 South 1 Classical Williston Classical 4 North 3 Classical Wilbraham Classical 6 North 1 Seventy-five Girls? Hockey As in past years, the nineteen thirty-live hockey season opened with much speculation and anxiety for all concerned. However, the outcome was favorable, for our team emerged sharing a tie championship with North. Miss Whitin deserves a great share of the praise for her untiring efforts in keeping .4 us alert and ready for action, and for her very efficient coaching, Our X captain, Ellen Keenan, has also earned great praise, for it was under her ky leadership that we came out with three games won, two tied, and one lost. 25 fx This result was made possible by the concentrated efforts of the team as a whole. Another fact that made the contests unusually interesting was that the teams were all almost equally matched. Classical's outstanding ability was in its stick work and this influenced the final result a great deal. It would be unjust not to mention some of the more frequent players. Among them was Louisa Clark, our flashy center forward who revealed herself especially adept in following up and making the ball land between the posts. Close behind her in praiseworthy playing came Frances Sugrue, a left wing. Frannie's one goal was the sensation of the season. It occurred in the second half of the Classical-Commerce game when, after a series of clashes, the ball sped her way. Before the opponents were aware of it, Frannie had successfully dodged her way through the defense and had landed a goal after almost fifty yards of dribbling. Others on the forward line who played well were Roberta Houghton, Connie Sarnborski, and jean Simonds, The defense players who figured most frequently in the games were Evelyn Drury, Hillary Roszko, Ellen Keenan, Edna Taylor, Milda Valatka and Rita Connelly. We believe that these girls deserved every bit of tribute and support given them-and possibly more! The squad and subs consisted of Captain Ellen Keenan, Manager Rita Connelly, Louisa Clark, Evelyn Drury, Milda Valatka, Connie Samborski, Hillary Roszko, Roberta Houghton, Ruth Lubarsky, Frances Sugrue, jean Simonds, Edna Taylor, Phyllis O'Donnell, Betty Sampson and Martha Connelly. The scores were as follows: Classical 1 Commerce O Classical 2 Commerce 2 Classical 0 North 1 Classical 1 North O Classical 1 South 0 Classical 0 South 0 Seventy-fix Girls? Basketball The Classical girls have enjoyed a very successful basketball season this year, winning no less than three championships in the inter-high series and - tying with Commerce for first place in the varsity games. In the class games our girls showed themselves superior to their rivals and broke all previous records in the history of basketball. The juniors especially deserve to be congratulated for they have been title-holders for numerals. The Sophomore team, captained by jane Mohler, had the following members: Suzanne Cook, Alice Husisian, Barbara McCarthy, Shirley Brauer, Martha Hall, and Jeannette Streeter. The Junior team, under the captaincy of composed of Jean Simonds, Agnes Rock, Betty Sampson, Paula Casey, Edna Taylor, Rosalie Winchell, and Constance Randall. The Senior team, with Milda Valatka as captain, was composed of Louisa Clark, Constance Samborski, Evelyn Drury, Felicia Tanona, Corinne Charron, Rita Connelly, and Barbara Cowee. All the above teams gained first place, while the Freshmen, captained by Constance Knight, came in third. Because of the splendid coaching of Miss Whitin, the Classical girls displayed excellent teamwork and accuracy in caging baskets and won five games out of six in the varsity series. Captain Jean Simonds, who starred in all the games, gained the distinction of being the highest scorer in all the four high schools. Of the Seniors, Manager Louisa Clark, who was not far behind jean Simonds in the scoring, Rita Connelly, and Milda Valatka on the guard end were practically the mainstay of the team. Connie Charron also deserves honorable mention for her untiring and willing energy and for her ability to rescue the ball from the hands of the enemy. Frances Sugrue, a forward, and Barbara Cowee, a guard, with the other regular players. Others who played in the games and received are Evelyn Drury, Felicia Tanona, Edna Taylor, Suzanne Cook, and jane Mohler. The rest of the squad was composed of A. Husisian, B. Sampson, B.

Tennis This year tennis was among the popular sports with the Classical girls, judging from the enthusiasm and the keen competition over the school tournament. In the semi-finals of the school tournament Ruth Lubarsky won from Edna Taylor 8-6, 6-1, 6-2, and jean Simonds won her match with Constance Knight 6-1, 6-1. In the finals Ruth emerged champion over jean, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Ruth, who for three years has been one of Classical's ablest recqueteers, was chosen captain, In the inter-high tournament our girls started oil: very well by losing only one match to South, our strongest opponent. Edna Taylor-Gale Rice 6-3, 6-1g Constance Knight-Margaret Hal- loran 1-6, 6-2, 6-4g Jean Simonds-Katherine Hall 6-4, 6-2, Rita Connelly-Rebecca Mitchell 6-1, 6-8, 6-4, while South's Doris Palser beat Ruth Lubarsky 8-6, 6-3. In their second inter-high contest our girls continued to display their excellent playing and finished technique by winning all five matches from Commerce. Ruth Lubarsky-Anne Youngstrom 6-1, 6-2g Edna Taylor-Hazel Fleming 6-0, 6-1, Jean-Simonds-Louise Frappier 6-1, 6-2, Connie Knight-Augusta MacDowell 6-1, 6-2, Shirley Brauer-Bernice Rice 6-0, 6-O. Our hopes for the city championship depended upon the final encounter with North, and our girls did not disappoint us. In the matches with North, Classical won three out of five, Jean Simonds-Alice Barnard 6-2, 6-Og Connie Knight-june Powers 6-3, 6-2, Rita Connelly-Mary Judge 7-5, 6-3g Barbara Hanson-Edna Taylor 6-4, 6-3, Mae Sullivan-Ruth Lubarsky 6-3, 6-1.

The credit should all go to our girls who worked so hard for the three championships, and to Miss Whitin whose cooperation and encouragement played a great part in gaining this honor. This trophy is given annually by the Worcester Athletic Association to the team having the highest rating in all sports. The All-Round Trophy is a large golden medal mounted on a wooden base. On this emblem is the figure of a woman who is holding a laurel wreath in her right hand and in her left a flaming torch. The trophy represents victory and fair play. Classical has been successful in having its name inscribed on this emblem three times. The first year that Classical won was in 1932. In 1935 our girls won possession of it again and once more in 1936. Seventy-eight CLASS OF 1936 IOCQIFCLPNIQS Q Q, F' e f 5 re neg., Y fr g .fxser . ' 1 r eg 7- - GPO CLASSES O Q63 Q imsrtiennesp G Q xx' el MORRIS ABRAMOEF Morris Abramoff is our outstanding tennis player. His congeniality and agreeableness have made him many friends. Besides being an ardent athlete he is very clever in his studies. Although he doesn't do any Math homework, he is always the first in our class to be able to do the difficult problems. CARLTON ADAMS Carlton Adams is one of our classmates whom we have never fully known. He has persisted in too modestly remaining in the background, but he has always made a good showing in his work. DORIS AHLQUIST Dot is one of Classical's social-minded young ladies. She loves to dance and play the piano, and she does both very well. This smiling young lady wants to be some business man's secretary in the future. All we can say is- The lucky business man!l' PETER AIKSNORAS Peter has been christened Einstein by his friends. Although he does not resemble the scientist in appearance, he doubtless does in ability. Peter has preferred a limited group of intimate friends to a large number of associates. He intends to enter St. Mary's College in the fall. HOWARD AISENBERG Howard is a social member of our class. His pastime is pretty girls, but as they enjoy his witty company there is contentment on both sides. Tall, dark and handsome, he is an active member in our leading clubs. His willingness to oblige and co-operate, along with his com- panionship, added much to the congeniality of our class. VINCENT AKELAITIS Willie has ever been one to take care of his own affairs very nicely. He has conscientiously carried on his work at Classical from day to day without obtruding upon others. The regard his friends have for him shows itself in their sincere wish for his future well-being. MICHAEL ALHEMOVICH Perseverance always wins out in the end, Miken has plenty of it, so we need not worry about his taking care of himself. His untiring efforts have made an impression on his class- mates, and they wish him luck for the future. JOHN ANKSTITUS john is a real outdoor boy. He loves all sorts of sports, especially hunting and fishing. Al- though he has a great desire to kill a mouse or catch a whale, nevertheless his real ambition is to be an engineer and enter Worcester Tech. GEORGE ARCHAMBAULT Besides being one of Classical's riflemen, l'A.rchie is also interested in airplanes. In pursuance of this interest he plans to attend Trade for a year or two, following with a course at the Air Corps Technical School. RAYNOR AREY Classical is indeed fortunate in having among its graduates a fellow like Ray. Diligence and affability are the keystones of his character. He is a student of the highest type and his ac- complishments speak for themselves. You'll surely reach the top, Ray! MARY ATHY Mary is the girl with the michievous twinkle in her eye. She pretends to be quite sedate, however, and is very careful to maintain the family dignity whenever possible. But brothers are such a problem! Mary is quite pretty-as the boys will testify. BARBARA ATWOOD Barbara has gained a reputation because of her knitting. Not that any of us have really witnessed her performance of the featg yet we see evidence of her handiwork very often at school. She also is interested in music and sings in the glee club and the mixed chorus. Eighty-one A OCLASSRC Q Q63 -I MYTMS me fe I 9 gy ARTHUR BABIN We did not realize fully how much his genuine interest and sympathy meant to us until Arthur's departure in February left a gap that was keenly felt by his circle of friends. Perpetuation of the traits you have shown at Classical will guarantee your standing in life, Arthur. VERA BAHARIAN Vera is the girl with the lovely disposition. We know her especially for her splendid ability as an elocutionist. Her willingness to help and her cheerful smile have won her many friends. We wish you every success in the world at Wellesley, Vera. EUGENE BALCANOFF Gene is a hard worker and one of Classical's Horace Mann Scholars. He is also active in the C.H.S.D.A. where he has shown himself a dangerous adversary in debate and a declaimer of merit. Clark will be fortunate in gaining him as a student. JOHN BALLANTINE john's permanent wave is a source of envy to many a heart, both masculine and feminine. Although quiet and unassuming, his classmates appreciate what a good fellow he is. john has chosen Fordham as his institution of higher education, and we wish him good fortune there. MARGARET BARONISKY Margaret Baronisky believes that all work and no play is a terrible waste of a perfectly good day, She has never a care in the world, and her pet dislikes are homework and getting to school early. Yet she never fails a course, and rarely, if ever, is late. EARL BELLIS Earl Bellis, the treasurer of our class, is liked by everyone. Being one of its better looking males, he is the object of many idealistic girls' hearts, but Earl seems to prefer them to stay away, or is he being loyal? His scholastic record has been very high. His frankness has won him much respect, and Earl's friendship can always be relied upon and is certainly welcomed. NORMAN BERNIER Norman is an active member of the senior class. As president of the Rifle Club he dis- played his line sportsmanship. No matter what your request may be, at anytime he will gladly accommodate you. His pleasing manners have assured his popularity among those of both sexes. RAYMOND BERTHIAUME While at Classical Ray has rightfully gained the reputation of being an earnest student and a regular fellow. You can always see Ray loyally supporting the school teams at all of the gamers. We are assured that anyone with such a friendly disposition as his will be successful in the uture. MARTIN BIRD Martin Bird has always bothered the teachers as to which of his names comes Hrst. There- fore he is Birdie to his friends. He has lots of them too, being a good sport, a ready com- panion, and a likeable friend-in short, a regular fellow. EVELYN BLOOM Evelyn Bloom is the girl with those gorgeous, auburn tresses. Her hair is a golden reddish shade and is naturally wavy. Evelyn is rather quiet and retiring in school, but outside of school she bursts into bloom Qwe just couldn't resist itj and is quite interesting, JOSEPH BORKO joe is another member of that great army of reticent Classical students. But in his quiet way Joe accomplishes a great deal in school, especially in mathematics. He is also one of those whose favorite diversion in the summer is to wield a tennis racket. JAMES BOUKALIS A serious modesty often conceals a warmth and affability of disposition. It would be ap- propriate to say this of jimmy but for the fact that his good nature has shone through his gracious restraint. May his likeable ways remain long after his high school days are over. Eighty-two ilooroaaessro -3465 of MYTMS RONALD BRAND Good things come in small packages, we might say of 'Ronniefl His scholastic at- tainments at Classical are of the highest order, and he bids fair to continue them at Tech. In addition to his scholarly attributes, he possesses a winning personality. Expectations as well as wishes for success, Ronnie MAURICE BRAY Maurice is a charter member of that select circle of Classical students who like to play around with frogs and snakes in the Biology class. He is also one of those remarkable people whose equanimity even Miss Shaughnessy's questions failed to disturb. JACOB BREITBORD jacob Breitbord believes that there should be more excitement in school than is provided by the faculty and by lessons. So occasionally he atnuses himself and the rest of the class during study hour when he assumezlly ustudiesf' He always protests his innocence, however. CHARLES BUBLIS The ability to hold himself in reserve until the right time is but one indication of the clear- headedness of Charles. His good judgment and congenial disposition have meant a great deal to those who came into contact with him, and they deeply regret this parting of the ways. ALPHONSE BUCKUNAS Al is another of those quiet individuals who on better acquaintance surprise you with their abilities. His especial bent is toward mathematics and he should go far in this field. ALOYSIUS BUDNICK Although not brilliant, Al has gained the praise of his teachers and the admiration of his friends by his scholastic achievements gained solely by hard work. We all often wish we had this enviable quality of his. More power to him. CURTIS BURDETTE That lost and forlorn look that one can find on Curtis' face is not because he did not get four A's, but because he was once disappointed in love. We don't know whether he has forgotten it or not, but at least he now has the advantage of experience over a good many of the rest of us. ROBERT BURTMAN Where there are girls, there you will find Robert Lansing One of his favorite diversions is to talk to some fair maiden or more likely to tease her, It is suspected that Robert overworks that quaint saying, All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. ROSE BUYNISKI Rose Buynislcfs ready smile and ready will have been appreciated by all of us who have known her. Colby is where she plans to go next year, and we wish her the best of luck. ROBERT CANNON Although a Big Gun, Bob does not spend his time making a lot of noise. He is an able debater in the C.H.S.D,A. and one of the old guard of room 5. He has behaved himself quite well while at Classical, due, no doubt, to his attention to his studies. EDITH CARLSON Edith possesses that indescribable quality which attracts people to her, She is the type who always greets you with a bright smile and a cheery greeting. Her sense of humor, her en- thusiasm, and her active participation in school clubs have gained her many friends. PHYLLIS CARPENTER Phyllis is very quiet, at least in classes, and makes a very good listener. Her one lamentation is that her boy friends haven't cars. It seems surprising that such a small person can sing second alto in Glee Club. Yet she does it. Eigbty-llaree iOeto,a.sse,iiei Q QM Msmeiirsse 6 ' el ERVEEN CARR If you would like to meet someone who is a happy combination of sweetness, cleverness, and personality, get introduced to Erveen. She will love to show you the pins and bracelets which she has made, and give you a taste of her raspberry tarts if you're hungry. Yes, Erveen is a busy lady these days. Who wouldnlt be, with a young man from Tech constantly phoning? SIGISMUND CHAREWICZ Sigismund Charewicz is one of the quieter members of our class. He is considerate and obliging. He doesn't talk much, but spends his time increasing his knowledge. One can find no fault with Sigismund. Mr. Howe certainly appreciated his orderly conduct in his home room. We know he is sure to succeed. CORINNE CHARRON To describe Connie adequately one must write a volume or two and speak in superlatives. Truly she is Classical's most popular, most talkative, most carefree Senior. Even the teachers smile at Connie! Basketball and tennis rackets provided Connie with a great deal of amuse- ment and Classical with an excellent athlete. GREGORY CHIRIACO We know him better as Gordon. He is of a likeable nature and behaves himself well. A protege of the great Caruso, he has put in some good work in the Glee Club. Gordon will attend Holy Cross in the fall. EDWARD CHLUDZINSKI Eddie was always' so quiet and retiring that many of us did not have an opportunity to become acquainted with him. But we are sure that there are great things in Eddie and that some day we shall point with pride to him as an old friend, LOUISA CLARK Who doesn't know 'lWee Wee, our hockey and basketball star and proud member of the Wearer of the mW' Club ? Her dynamic personality plus kinetic energy are indispensable to Classical and we cannot picture the graduating class without recalling her. Best wishes for your success at Colby next year. MEYER COHEN Meyer Cohen is one of those light under a bushel hidersf' He studies diligently but is interested enough in athletics so that he can defy anyone to call him a Ubookwormf' Something should be said about his hair which is neither red nor auburn but an indefinable, admirable color in between. FRANCIS CONLIN One o'cl0ck has come to mean lunch for us, but the appearance of his slightly freckled fea- tures has come to mean a relief from the daily grind. A winning smile and a warm personality such as Dir has shown himself to possess are not easily forgotten. MARTHA CONNELLY Martha Connelly's popularity is due to her being such a good sport, always ready to enter into the spirit of the occasion. She is an athlete of no mean ability, being successful in a varied field of sports. Because of her ready wit and gay company she is a much sought after young lady. RITA CONNELLY Rita, without doubt, is the most popular senior girl in the school. With her cheery disposi- tion and ever-ready smile, she is indeed a splendid example of a good scout. In the fall, Rita will continue her studies at New Rochelle. JOHN COPPER A sailor in our midst! john, we hear, is heading for the Massachusetts Nautical School in Boston. As a mariner he should be a big success, his ready smile and rugged physique being prime requisites for life aboard a ship. BARBARA COWEE Barbara Cowee has become popular with both sexes because of her goodnatured and un- affected manner. She has also displayed a leaning toward the stage and has been a very active member of the Green Room Club. Barb ' holds an enviable sport's record too. Eighty-four ,J Y Y Y y f W, ,. ff-Di W. ,. ,. ., , ,. CLAS e.tief riot NANCY CREERON Nancy came to us in her junior year from Ohio, and we are mighty happy she did. Her ready smile, her pleasing manner, and her cheerfulness have endeared her to her friends. Nancy's passion is reciting poetry, only she has kept it a secret. Heartiest good wishes go with you, Nancy! JOHN CRONIN john used to collect slips, and also used to fall asleep every once in a while in class. Per- haps that was due to his sitting in a corner of the room where he was surrounded by boys, because We have noticed that he keeps very wide awake when there are any pretty girls around. KENNETH CURTO Kenneth Clark fGableJ Curto is the shining example for the freshmen and sophomores, Of course they never could acquire his energy and pep, yet it would be good for them to try. His work in C.H.S.D.A. must be memorable because, as yet, we who are outside the club have not heard him speak. HERMAN DAWSON Bull is a well-known personage at Classical where his good nature has won him many friends. In the band he has always been able to hold his own with his excellent drum playing. Bull has also been active in other of the musical organizations and in the Botany Club, ANTHONY DEKNIS Anthony Deknis' athletic superiority has been appreciated for many years. He has brains, but instead of using them, he prefers to spend his time at the athletic fields or with the girls who are attracted by his six feet of grace. He has a tendency to fiirt with the girls in his classes. Tony is liked by all the boys, and is a member of our new inter-high fraternity. FRANK DELANY You have to hand it to Frank. Besides being Classical's example of what the well-dressed man should wear, he has given an excellent example to all of us. Handicapped by sickness during the last year, he has not only continued with his studies but has even excelled in his dif- ficult math courses. We are confident of his ultimate success in his chosen career. EDWARD DISBROW Eddie, The Voice of Experiencef! is one of our quiet and likeable fellows. Although he never tells anything about himself, we know that he is well-liked by his companions. Much of his spare time is spent with a certain blonde named Lucille. Eddie plans to attend Rensselaer Polytech- nic Institute. VIRGINIA DOLAN Ginnie is versatile as well as capable, for, besides having marks of the very highest, she is one of our leading actresses. She has been in many of the Green Room plays where she has always given a fine performance. As a hostess, Virginia has few equals, and her delightful parties are agreeably remembered by her guests. ROBERT DONNELLY Red is well nicknamed as one look at his fiery hair will prove. He is good-natured, takes things as they come, and is a favorite with fellow classmates. Red has shown his interest in sports while at Classical by his participation in baseball, football, swimming, and hockey. He plans to make Holy Cross his next Alma Mater. JEREMIAI-I DORSEY Jeremiah Dorsey is best recognized by his goodnatured smile. Instead of grumbling, jerry grins, and his good cheer and sincerity have spread to the rest of us. ROBERT DOWNES When Nudge is quiet we are likely to suspect that he is planning some kind of mischief. He has been popular with his fellow classmen and has taken active part in athletics. In connection with football, he is particularly well remembered for a certain much talked-of trip to New York. RICHARD DROHAN As smooth as Dick -not a bad simile. He can talk on any subject, and although he doesn't know what it is all about, he never fails to make you think he does. This doesn't hold true for everything, however. If you are ever in doubt about the wanderings of Aeneas, consult Dick. What is his ambition? Who knows, maybe to become a politician. Eigloly-jizfe liotorsxmesgrto 0 QQ Q Misgterrimes Q, E X I' ' ' 3 Rl EVELYN DRURY Athletic, energetic Evelyn is a Sever St. Prep representative. She is an ardent lover of sports especially basketball and hockey. She was a regular hockey player displaying a good defense game. Evelyn was also active in class basketball. Her sunny disposition and kindliness have made her gladly welcomed in any group. BENJAMIN DUBIN Dubin has walked through his high school days in a complete daze, so far as we could tell. Upon being approached by your correspondent, he vaguely replied that school days are the best days. He probably hasn't recovered yet from that German clip he got last year, VERA DUDKO Vera has an interesting and rather unusual ambition. Some day she hopes to be a famous ballet dancer. She has been taking lessons for some time and plans to continue with her dancing when she graduates. Her other interest is drawing. ARTHUR DUFAULT Arthur has been a good sport at Classical, industrious, conservative, and ever willing to lend a hand. It is people of the steady type like him who keep this old world of ours from losing its bearings. We wish him the best of luck in all his enterprises. JOSEPH EDINBURG joey is really an essential part of Classical. How could that Virgil class have survived the drought without his amusing jokes ftranslation?J-Now a word of warning to the ladies. If joey should approach you some fine morning and whisper, You're looking as lovely as usual, dear, don't get unduly thrilled, because he says that to all. DAGNEY EKSTROM Dagney gave us a shining example of the excellence of Classical, when at the beginning of this year she transferred to Commerce. No, that's not queer because it's not all. She was there only a few weeks when she trotted to our dear old Alma Mater, and stayed happily ever after- that is, until june. We all agree with you, Dagney. GEORGE ERICKSON George always has a twinkle in his eye. The only trouble is that you never can quite tell whether he is laughing at you or with you. ERIC ESSEN Eric is perhaps better known to his intimate friends as Speed With such a nickname we wonder that he has not gone in for track, His interest, however, seems to lie chiefly in subjects dealing with science and mathematics, which courses he plans to continue at Worcester Tech. BARBARA FARNSWORTH Barb is the kind of girl who doesn't like frills. Her taste runs to the outdoors, especially to summer camps. She was once overheard to express a preference for horses rather than boys, but that doesn't daunt the boys, who have fun teasing Barb fourth hours. She is universally liked, and one of the best of friends. JULIAN FEINGOLD julian is one of our outstanding Seniors. A good student, but by no means a grind, and an excellent speaker. He figured most prominently in the C.H'.S.D.A., of which he was president. julian is also well-known to us for his pleasant manners and his first aid to young ladies in distress. SIDNEY FIELDING Sid is one of those peculiar beings termed philatelists. His position as president of the Stamp Club makes him feel important, and he does a lot of work to make his club a success. RUTH FIERER Ruth Fierer has a happy-go-lucky disposition and never worries about anything except her studies, And there are few people who have less cause, for she is an honor pupil and a Horace Mann scholar. A few word description of Ruth would be, She tries hard-and succeeds. Ruth is interested in Library Science and plans to go to Simmons, Eighty-tix i O E CLASSES 0165-1 MYTHSQ Q5 ' I 3 kj ROBERT FINEBERG Bob seems to have mastered the faculty of adapting himself to surrounding conditions, for no matter where he is or what he is doing, he always has a cheerful grin ready. We wonder whether he would someday be willing to tell his friends where he finds his store of good cheer. SYLVIA FINEBERG Sylvia is our nomination for the best fudgeamaker. She is a hard-working student and gets good grades. We wish that girls like Sylvia would not be so quiet. People would like to know her better but we're afraid she's shy. HARVEY FRAM Harvey has not only proved his worth in his intellectual endeavor, but also in extra-curricular activities. He is happiest when playing tennis and may often be seen masterly swinging his racket. Harvey's consideration for others is the mark of a true and trustworthy friend. PAUL FRAM Amiable ways and good-natured pranks combined with a serious attitude toward his school work have earned for Paul the regard of his classmates. He plans to continue his studies at Tech next fall, and we know that he will be just as well liked there. ANITA FREEMAN .Anita has completed her high school course in three and one-half years, which is no small accomplishment, and which has also given her the great honor of graduating from the class of '56. We always have said the more the merrier. LAWRENCE FREEMAN Lawrence is another of the quiet boys. Nevertheless, once he is aroused, he may surprise you with a funny saying. If you want to find something he's interested in, just ask him about the new theory by which vegetables can be raised without any soil. HELEN FRIEDMAN Helen Friedman is not one of our chatterboxes of which we have far too many, alas! Helen is a good student, quiet, and conscientious. We know nothing of her plans for the future but know that she will do her best to succeed, and what is more probable than she will? MARGARET FRIEL Could we ever forget Peggy? This funloving miss with a remarkable sense of humor is popular. She loves all social activities and none could be quite complete without that sparkling smile which personifies Peggy. Her pleasant companionship was an asset to the class of '36, JOSEPHINE GAGNE Josephine Gagne came to us from Millbury High School. While at Classical, she has been an active member of the Agassiz as well as of the newly formed French Club. Among her closest friends she is known for her pleasant and even disposition and for her sense of humor. LORRAYNE GAGNON Lorrayne is tall, pretty, and charming. With her gay smile and friendly disposition, she has graced our corridors. Her particular interests are music and boys. The latter also seem to appre- ciate her. She showed her enthusiasm and loyalty in the manner she supported the French Club. RITA GALIPEAU Rita is one of the most active and resourceful of the 1936 seniors. It was largely through her efforts and initiative that the French Club was started. Her readiness to help at all times and her magnetic personality have made her a very popular girl. HELEN GANZBURG Helen Ganzburg is not what you would call voluble when it comes to talking about herself. She is very quick to praise others however. She is rather reserved, a good student, and a loyal friend. The only way to really appreciate Helen is through her friends. ELEANOR GARVEY Anyone who has this unassuming and quiet young lady for a friend is truly fortunate. Eleanor's exceptional literary ability, as shown by her work with the Argus, will gain her great success at Wellesley. She has another outstanding accomplishment, namely the art of getting autographs of notables quickly but politely. Ask her about her technique, Eighty-:even L. - . - W fz- . H 7 'T I X iwotetoaxessro O QQQ Q NZHYTTEHSQ Gp 'M xx' as 'oe o' 3 ALBERT GEORGE Albert is one of our modest fellows, who smiles pleasantly but enigmatically when you question him. But he does inform us that basketball is one of his big interests and that girls are his greatest weakness. Best of luck with the co-eds at Massachusetts State, George! ROBERT GIBBS Bob has spent most of his life denying that he is any relation to the still famous Charlie Gibbs. He is one of the few boys who knows how to keep things to himself. VIOLET GILBRIDE Sociable, smiling Violet is always willing to help others. Violet enjoyed English most at school and was clever in it. She is both an outdoor and indoor girl-her hobbies being dancing and swimming. May she be as popular at Framingham as she was at Classical, FLORENCE GINNS Florence has always displayed that enthusiastic spirit and eagerness that portrays a true daughter of Classical. Coupled with a brilliant mind, of which her excellent scholastic record is proof, she has a charming disposition. Her animated conversations, her sly quips, and amusing observations set her apart as a distinct personality. ANDREW GODIMIS Andy, who has learned to read and write English in the short span of three years, came to us from Greece, his native land. He has spent several years in Roumania as well, and is some- thing of a linguist. We wish him success at Clark. EDYTHE GOLDBERG This dark-haired young lady is always seen in the corridors either smiling or talking. She is very interested in dramatics and has been a talented member of the cast in two Senior plays- Children of the Moon, and The Gay Lord Quexf' Edythe is planning a career in dramaticsg a perfect choice. SYDNEY GOLDENBERG Sydney is the kind of boy who stands up for his ideals in spite of opposition. He showed his initiative, courage, and daring by editing a new school pamphlet for a short time. A boy like Sydney who stops to think and then acts ought to succeed in later life, ' LEONARD GOLDSMITH Although Leonard doesn't talk much, he is usually worth listening to when he does. Leonard's character is marked by one outstanding quality, perseverance. His exceptional scholastic talent and singular personality have gained for him numerous friends. We feel confident of his success at Worcester Tech. . BEATRICE GOULD A thorough appreciation of the seriousness of high school has had its wholesome effect on her school work and her relations with her classmates. A capacity for work combined with the ability to utilize spare time proitably has well prepared her to carry on her good work after high school. EDWARD GRANGER Edward always has had an antipathy towards Latin. That is-unless he can sit near some of his friends. Fortunately, when his friends sit near him, he can help them out, and, naturally, they can help him out. In chemistry he does, however, maintain very close attention. BETTY GRATTON Betty Bonny Gratton has only been with us for one year, but it did not take long for us to become acquainted with her charming personality and delightful smile. Her pleasing friend- ship has been the ambition of most of the girls as well as boys. We are certainly glad to have had at least a year of her lovely grace, and joyful and lively nature. JOHN GREEN Actions speak louder than words, according to johnny. Although quiet and retiring, he has been active in musical organizations, and has obtained good marks consistently. Best wishes to a fine player of the clarinet, saxophone, and oboe. Eighty-eight 3- , W., ,,-X ,, , , , ,AX fir ,L Oterofsessxo O qQ5 Q nfiitsirgaieii-rtsi, t, A - ee- ea JANET GREENWOOD janet is one of the jolliest and cheeriest girls in the class. She is Sophie to all her friends, who End her a good and willing sport. Possessed of that rare combination of blonde hair and brown eyes, she is always gay and sparkling, just setting off her attractive coloring. VUILLIANI GREGG Billy is that charming boy who played the renowned part of Romeo at a basketball game. Although not very studious, his presence is keenly felt in all his classes. SHEPARD GROSSMAN Shepard Grossman is recognized by the girls as the better looking of our boys. He is friendly with everyone, and his loyalty to his real friends is a noble trait. He certainly added much prestige to room seven with his looks and strong character. Although he had a weakness QPJ to stray into room five very often. JOSEPH GRABAUSKAS ln February joseph left school to go to work, getting ahead of the rest of us. He hopes, however, to continue his education in the fall, perhaps at Holy Cross. There he will meet many friendly ex-Classicalites who will be glad to welcome him. WALTER GRUZDIS The Wizard of Classical may become a general before long. If he doesn't go to West Point, however, Harvard will probably be the fortunate college. Walter is a regular fellow as any of his classmates will testify. His work as co-editor of the Argzzr has been outstanding. SOPHIE GUTOWSKI All who know her unanimously agree that Sophie is the nicest and the most obliging girl they ever knew, Many male admirers have been enchanted by her soft brown eyes and her cordial smile. Sophie is quite an expert in the swimming pool and on the tennis-court. RUTH HANSCOM Classical missed three years of Ruth's pleasant company. Her friendliness, helpfulness, and cheerfulness have endeared her to her many newly-made friends. Ruthie' will surely make her way in the world, because she seems to fit in so well no matter where she is. CHARLES HASSETT Charles is one of the silent men who are interested in stamps. His quizzes are the hit of the stamp club meetings. His job as chairman of the program committee makes him a lot of work, but does he mind? I should say so. MARION HAYDEN Charming, intelligent, and studious is this gracious young lady. She has an enviable schol- astic record and a capacity for excellence in all subjects. Marion's good nature and amiability have made her well-liked. She departs with the best prospects of success to Wellesley College. JACOB HEITIN If anyone wished to tap the source of good humor in our class, he could make a good start with Heitin, whose geniality is well-known. He has been a very active member of our musical organizations, being especially so in the band where he toots a mean trumpet. HARRY HOPPIN Harry is of the happy-go-lucky type that apparently pays little attention to getting there, but gets there just the same. Though he is physically diminutive, he wields a hefty tennis racket. In other ways as well, he has demonstrated his versatility. HELEN HORGAN , Helen is recognized by ,her winning smile, which is characteristic of her disposition. She claims to have a really bad temper, but the burden of proof rests with her, and she hasn't convinced us yet. She is liked by all and is one of the best friends anyone could have, for she is loyal and steady--a fine pal, Eighty-nine feocororbaeseerto O ICQ 0 MYTMS me Q i ' 3 g-Z IRVING HORWITZ Irving Horwitz's best subject is chemistry. He is interested in photography and would have been capable of being our class photographer. He is always ready with the answers in English, and is very well read. His interest in science will certainly lead him into becoming an efficient chemist, ROBERTA HOUGHTON Berta is well known by all her classmates, for she has been very prominent in athletics, especially in hockey where her unselfish nature and constant encouragement have played a great part, In saying goodbye, we only regret that four years of Berta have been too little. ALBERT HOWELL Al's chief interest lies in things aeronautical. He is a model plane builder of no mean repute and has constructed many prize-winners. His college course and ultimate vocation are obvious and we wish him the best of luck for the future. LOUIS HURWITZ Louis Hurwitz is the antithesis of Classical High School. On the one hand he is a bundle of mischief and on the other a fine Honor Student. We wouldn't be surprised if Louis turned out to be a lexicographer since he spends so much time gazing attentively inside the covers of the dictionary in room nine. The best of luck in whatever you decide to do. MARY JACKOWSKI Mary jackowski is the girl with the lovely, artistic hands. She sketches and paints very well, and we should like to see her as a dress designer. Surely, hers is the talent that could plan our nicest gowns. ANTHONY JACOBOWSKI Tony, it seems, is quite a basketball star even though he has not had time to participate in school athletics. It is unfortunate that the Ionic Avenue Boys' Club reaps all the beneht of his skill, but then we do not wish to have Tony lose the job which keeps him busy afternoons. JANE JANKOWSKA jane jankowska, a quiet, unassuming girl, will be remembered best for being a hard and willing worker. We have never seen her idle or lazy and we anticipate her success in whatever she undertakes. EDNA JEFFERY During her days amongst us, Edna was always in demandg it would be almost impossible to enumerate her many admirable traits. Suffice it to say that Edna's warm friendliness and capability made her an outstanding leader in the classroom and student activities. Classical's loss is Wellesley's gain. CHESTER JEZNACH Chester Jeznack is not only good-looking, quiet, and friendly, but also possesses a sense of humor. How does that sound, girls? His favorite pastime is watching an exciting basketball game. The good luck which the class wishes him coupled with Chester's good nature will make a success of him. EVERETT JOHNSON He hasn't made much noise around the school, but if you looked up and saw something like a beanpole going by, that was Everett. We know his quiet, good nature has earned him many friends at Classical these past three years. BARBARA JORDAN A petite miss, she is best known for her sophistication and charm. Although she has kept herself somewhat out of the limelight, she is nevertheless an important member of our class and an extreme- ly fine horse-back rider. Barb is so sweet and demure that she cannot help reminding us of orchids. LOUISE JORDAN Those of us who have seen Mr. Couming swoop up her game of solitaire fourth hour, or seize her crossword puzzle, will wonder what Louise is going to do with all the freedom one gets at Wellesley. She may use it in trying to improve her cookery, which she tells us is below par. Niven' Aocircaassstico Q QQ Q Misgmijisraiies 54 ee - A ' a S-Q ALAN JOSEPH Alan, the business man, is our very competent chairman of the Photograph Committee. He also has reached the distinction of being in the finals of both the Debating and Declamation Con- tests. Alan has a wide circle of friends, and is indeed a popular young man. BENNET KAHN Our vote for one of the most naive members of the class goes to Ben. We wonder how soon his classmates will forget the many golden moments created by him in Room 24. However, he has his serious sides, and is an entertaining conversationalist, among other things. ROMAN KALUKIN Roman Kalukin is, like so many retiring people, a sincere and hard worker. He was also always very helpful and sympathetic to us in class when, as often used to happen, he knew his lessons better than we did. MARY KANE Mary Kane's most outstanding characteristics are sweetness and gentleness. We have never seen her ruffled or out of sorts, but, instead, always calm and even. Her steady smile is cheerful, just the right kind for the excellent nurse that we are confident Mary will make. ELAINE KATZ This lively, captivating brunette first came to Classical, then went out west, but now we are indeed happy that she is back again to graduate with us. By the twinkle in her eye you may know her, which, to tell the truth, has grown even more sparkling lately. I-Iere's a hearty wish for success, Elaine! MARGARET KEARNEY Margaret is well-known because she was the first student to have her picture in the paper as a Classical graduate. Shortly after February we noticed her in the group picture of the beginners in the training course at St. Vincent hospital. We wish her all the luck in the world. ELLEN KEENAN Ellen has been successful in every enterprise she has undertaken and has participated in many school activities. Her agility on the hockey field and on the tennis court make her an outstanding Atalanta. ANNE KELLEHER Classical can scarcely be said to be gloomy when Anne is around with her bright smile and charming ways. She displayed her leadership and initiative in the many club offices which she held. However, her attractions are by no means confined to her personality and intelligence. CHARLES KESNER A black head of hair bobbing up and down among the crowds at period changes was Kesner's. He is something of a wit, too. When doing a U. S. History assignment one day, he remarked to a young hopeful in front of him, Hold your face still, I'm drawing a map. BENNET KESSLER A ready smile and a cheerful nature have helped make Ben an asset to Classical. Aside from distinguishing himself academically as a Horace Mann scholar, Ben has also done some very good work as a member of the C,H.S.D,A. Clark will profit in September. HARRY KINGSLEY Harry Rosey Kingsley is one of our outstanding athletes, participating in every sport, especially football. His scholastic record is high, and he is one of the best liked fellows in our class. Although the girls helped to elect him our class president, he is rather bashful when he talks to them, and always blushes Rosey red. Besides leading in everything, he is clean and fair minded and has won the respect and admiration of all his classmates. DORA KLATSKY Tiny, active Dora is as bright as her eyes testify, for she reaped not a few A's during her three and a half year course at Classical. We often envied and admired Dora's remarkable ability to answer even Miss Shaughnessy's questions rapidly and correctly. Ninety-one Y VYYAYVV ,+L Y , ,.

While yet a sophomore, she was made concert mistress of the All High School Orchestra, and she also became a member of the Marjorie Taylor Trio during her Classical career. Undoubtedly we shall hear more of her in the musical field. EDMUND KOWALCZYK Edmund is well known at Classical for his good nature and his cheery l'hello. His specialty is singing and he is a faithful member of the Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus, partici- pating in the concerts and other activities of the musical organizations. BEATRICE KUNIN Beatrice Kunin has the best sense of humor of anyone in the class. She begins to laugh or rather giggle at something she considers comical, and the more she giggles, the funnier it seems, and the more she giggles. Her giggle is really most provocative and we don't blame her for airing it so often. GERALD LAINER Gerry is a true fisherman. In fact he'd rather fish than eat. We've often wondered what makes him so lazy and have decided that he's just dreaming about fish. He is interested in math and his pet weakness is copying Lon Chaney. JEANNE AND ROSE LALIBERTE These tiny, friendly, and lovable twins have smilingly glided through the Classical corridors for the past three years. Their hobby is music which they showed by studying harmony for two years and by their skill in piano playing. Rose is quite an athlete too. We all wish you the best of luck in the future, twinies. PHILIP LEVINE Philip Pili Levine has a weakness for guzzling chocolate milk. Nothing else seems to bother him. He does his school work faithfully and is gaining weight from his non-committal exist- ense. His permanent smile and good word for everyone have made him one of our favorites, and in return, we can say nothing against Pin GENEVIEVE LEWINSKA Genevieve has one of the sweetest, friendliest dispositions and is one of the most unassuming girls of our graduating class. That she is charming and carefree is proved by her long list of friends. While at Classical, she has gained the reputation of being an earnest student and a swell kidfl LAWRENCE LIBERTY We all agree that his color schemes are most original, which is something to be proud of on this day and age. But he parts with friends earned by far deeper and more lasting qualities. Our best wishes accompany him wherever he goes. MILDRED LINDGREN Milly might be termed the artist of 1936. She has taken drawing for four and one-half years and plans to continue in art school. We have all appreciated her talent on the Argui' covers and in the drawing room. ELWYN LINDSTROM Do you need a caddy? Lindy will gladly oblige, for he is not only an experienced one, but also a member of Classical's newly-founded golf team. Radio is another one of his many interests. Lindy has at least two ambitionsf-to attend R.C.A. Institute and to make a hole-in-one. JOHN LOUGEE jack has been down South for a good part of his senior year. He has played some golf and some hockey. RUTH LUBARSKY I Seeing Ruth surrounded by W's and C's on her sweaters, group pictures, and locket charms does not make it hard for us to know that she is athletically inclined. She has been doing her stuff on the hockey field and tennis court helping win championships for Classical. Our only wonder is how she came out alive from that chemistry class of hers. We hope the sufferings from it will come in handy during her nursing career. Ninety-Iwo ZOCLASSHC oivimiiraenais C5 gy' 3 ROSALYNE LUBOWI'1'Z Rosalyne Lubowitz is a young lady we don't know very much about. She has a friendly smile and appears to be always deep in discussion with her various girl friends. As to the subject of conversation4school of course! What else could call forth that engaging twinkle? ROGER LUND ' This tall, blond, dignihed young Apollo is a typical example of what the young man should wear. It is rumored that Roger is an ardent fan of the terpsichorean art, and is especially capable in devising his own steps. DORIS MacINTOSH We are certainly proud of Doris who has such iine scholastic ability. She is one of our most pleasant and agreeable girls, and well-liked by all who know her. She seems to have a natural gift for friendship. We wish you the best of luck, always, Doris. ESTA MCSHEEHY Esta seems to take no part in clubs or in school affairs. Except, that is, when the poster season comes around. Then you can find her up in the drawing I'O01'I1 QI can't say how the posters progress though.J She is interested in outside doings though and is somewhat of a social butterfly. FRANCIS MAGUNE Classical's perennial. Perennial what? We are not sure yet, but we hope to find out before long. At any rate, we are sure that he is a good fellow and a topnotch comic actor, which is a good start in any surroundings. EDWARD MAHER Edward Maher, after four years of trying, finally received two presidencies and was a declamation finalist. His friendliness and sincerity have won him many supporters in his work. He is a good arguer and persistent in his beliefs. JOSEPHINE MANN Josephine has spent only her senior year at Classical, coming originally from Maine. She im- mediately became known because of her famous giggle, and some gems of humor contributed to the ArguJ, We think that the effervescent giggle has since been tamed, because of the rigors of Classical lifefor has it? DORIS MARA We tentatively add the name of Doris Mara to the slate of our future artists. Doris has another talent to fall back on, however, for she is very much interested in music, especially the piano. She will probably surprise us and go to a conservatory of music. ZAREH MARTIN Zeke is a familiar figure, both on the cinder track and in Classical's corridors. His winning smile and friendly disposition make him easy to get along with. A second Einstein when it comes to mathematics, we prophecy success for him at Worcester Tech. PI-IYLLIS MAYLOTT Although one of the less publicized girls of our class, Phyllis has been a faithful and diligent member. She plans to go training, and she ought to be a valuable nurse in any hospital. GEORGE MCCAFFERTY Mad, is the personification of what the well dressed man should wear. He is a likeable fellow and has done his bit for Classical in baseball. The school won't be the same without Mac. EDWARD McCANN Edward McCann is what kept our Latin class in good spirits. His sharp wit has amused us in all his classes, along with his stupid remarks. Everyone enioys his company and when he is absent, the classes are quiet and lonesome. His over literal translations in Virgil will be remembered by the Latin teachers in years to come. Eddie is also a swell fellow and a real sport. JEAN McCANN jolly, light-hearted, optimistic, jean is a friendly person who likes everybody and whom everybody likes without reservation. She has the rare ability of combining pleasure and studies in such a way that the results are highly satisfactory. Ninety-llufee Ewcoroasessrco 0 Q65 0 iwsgcarraresna gf CECILIA MCI-IALE Cecilia is tall, slim, pretty and graceful. However, that is not all, she also has a charming personality and an attractive smile. The fact that she is such good company has made her a long list of true friends. We are all rooting for you after graduation, Cecilia. ELLEN MEAGHER Ellen Betty Meagher, although she is very attractive, is outstanding with her magnetic charm, poise, and friendly nature. Everyone likes Betty who has a jolly smile for everybody, She is a walking fashion plate and is often seen in Divine company, but you will hardly ever see her without her bonded companion, Mary Athy. NATHANIEL MENCOW By splendidly portraying one of the beggars in the Christmas play, this young man has proved himself to be a talented actor. He is also musically inclined. Now figure this out: Take wine, women, and song. Subtract win and song, and what's left? Answer: Mencow's chief delight. HENRY MICHAELSON It would require very great versatility of thought and expression to record the characteristics and accomplishments of Henry. During his stay at Classical, he has shown marked ability as a leader, a scholar and a musician. Henry, with his genial disposition, has made a lasting impression on us all. EDWARD MIKOLOWSKI Edward Mikolowski's extremely capable athletic ability has not been seen until last year, but we can never forget the great share he had in winning our basketball games. He is well liked by all of us, but he prefers demure blond women. His realness and his willingness will surely win him many more friends after he leaves Classical. FRANCIS MILLS One of the Mills Boys, Francis with his would-be red hair is no stranger to our halls. His blushes are things of beauty and we hope that he never loses his skill in the art. Francis proposes to make Yale the next recipient of his good humor. CHESTER MISIEWICZ Chet's retiring nature has kept him out of the limelight somewhat but to his closer acquaintances he reveals as well as a friendly disposition several hidden talents. For instance, we bet you didn't know he plays the banjo like a professional. JOHN MITCHELL Mitch's talents as a lady-killer are not too much in evidence around school but we hear that they were used to fullest advantage on that eventful football trip to New York. Besides being a dependable football end, john is a fast sprinter and manager of the track team. JUNE MORGAN June is one of the sweetest and friendliest girls in the senior class. Her natural, unaffected and sympathetic manner have endeared her to everyone. She has enjoyed the rare privilege of being one of those few girls in the band. Best of luck in the future, June! ELWIN MOUNTAIN Literally speaking, Elwin has risen to great heights during his four years. To him belongs the distinction of being the tallest boy in the senior class. His desire to cooperate and his pleasing knack of making friends are to be especially commended. MARGARET MUNROE Bubbling with cheerfulness, witty and friendly, Margaret possesses all the necessary qualities to enliven any gathering. She has decided inclinations toward socials, piano playing, and members of the opposite sex. A girl with her sunny disposition and personality will certainly get along in the world. DANIEL MYERS Daniel Myers is one of those rare boys who believe that school is the place for study. He is very industrious, practical, and attentive in class. He has a friendly grin which he hesitates to turn on unless he is with cronies. Ninety-four A OCLASSHC Q C630 MYTMSQ c ' A a 1,2 HELEN NESKE Helen is one of those people who look at the sunny side of life rather than the dull. She seems to live up to the saying. A lady is always serene. She enjoys swimming, reading, and tennis which are her favorite pastimes. Sincerity, a sweet disposition, and an obliging nature are characteristic of Helen. LILLIAN NEWFIELD Lillian is a sweet child who is heart-breakingly clever. She is very modest and unassuming, however. Yet her marks speak louder than words. She manages to pile a load of work on those slender shoulders. Besides leading the class scholastically, Lillian is co-editor of the Atgui. As a junior she received the Aletheia prize. GENE OLMSTEAD Gene Olmstead is one who doesn't seem to grow up. Small in stature, he is the baby of our class. His perpetual smile and winking eyes have won him many friends. Although his height kept him from participating in most Athletics, he was manager of the sports teams. DOROTHY PAPPAS Dorothy has been a fine, conscientious student, and her accomplishments have been many. Worcester State Teachers' College will claim her for the next four years, and we know she will make good in her chosen held of the study of languages. GEORGE PAPPAS George is more reserved and unassuming than the rest of the fellows of his class, but that is because he takes his work more seriously. He is an industrious, earnest, and ambitious student, never missing his lessons. George is especially interested in Geometry and Physics and has plans of being either a teacher or druggist. May success be yours. ELINOR PAYNE Elinor is one of our most charming and popular girls. She is also one of our prettiest, with her dark hair and large brown eyes. Furthermore, Elinor is a talented violinist and a capable student, but it is her pleasing manner that has made her so well liked by both boys and girls. ALVA PEARSON Two words which best describe Alva are capability and charm. Those who heard the splendid book report which she gave at the joint meeting of the Aletheia and the C.H.S.D.A. will agree teh what, boys?J You may rest assured that everything which this young lady does is done well. RICHARD PEASE A gentlemanly deportment in his activities at Classical has been typical of Richard. Though a serious pupil at all times, he has won many friends. We feel sure that the college he elects will have as much reason to be proud of him as we have. MILDRED PETERSON Is there anyone in the senior class who does not know this blond, vivacious young lady? Milly's infectious laugh and cheerful disposition toward tests and homework have often lightened our gloom on blue Monday. There is no doubt that Milly is the Belle of Room 8. ' STANLEY PIETREWICZ Stan's retiring nature has not prevented him from gaining a great deal from his high school life. At all times he has carried on his work with a cheerful cooperation. Without doubt, he will continue to do so long after he has left Classical. JOSEPH PLATUKIS joe is a fishing enthusiast, and knows a thing or two that escaped Isaak Walton, but in spite of that, or because of it, he has caught the admiration of those who know him well, Classical will also miss his serious attention to his school work. THADDEUS POKROPOWICZ Pokropowicz has been one of our athletes during his high school career, taking active part in many sports. He is another of those silent ones, but we know that he has enjoyed Classical days along with the rest of us. N inety- 608 A OCLASSHCQIQ OMYTHS if - G Kaz' 3 BERNARD POLONSKY Bernard Polonsky's quiet and shy nature hasn't given us all an opportunity to know him. He is very ambitious and has a great deal of perseverance. His reserved manner gives him time to excel in learning his daily recitations. His common sense and sincerity are very prominent, and all who know him like him. EDWARD POPKO Edward certainly is a busy boy, for he finds time to work and attend school, too. According to his friends, he is a regular fellow. He likes all kinds of sportsg but diverts most of his at- tention to studying the radio. Such an ambitious boy as Edward ought to succeed in the future. JOHN POWER john jackie Power has one weakness--women, but fortunately women's weakness is Jackie! He is well liked by everyone and is one of the leading social members of our class. He is the president of the new French Club. His congeniality will continue to bring him many friends even when he leaves Classical. MILDRED RADIN Mildred Radin is a charming young lady with interests artistic. Petite in stature, she intends to take up the weighty subject of commercial art. Art is her chief interest, and she plans to go to Pratt Institute. By the way, members of the opposite sex regard Millie, herself, as a work of art. ELEANOR RAFFERTY Pretty, slim, gay, friendly, and sincere, Eleanor is decidedly popular among both sexes. She is one of our most famous socialites. It was largely through her initiative, intelligence, and good management that our dances were a success this year. Ellie will certainly succeed in whatever she undertakes in the future. MURIEL RAPHAELSON Muriel Raphaelson has the nicest smile. She is quite popular both in and out of school but manages to combine studying with pleasure so that neither suffers. Muriel is the type of girl who is always chosen secretary of a club because of her friendliness and dependability. MARY REGAN Mary Regan is quiet, but very friendly once you know her. She has a pleasant smile for everyone, which reflects her equally sunny disposition. Her intimates know her to be very agreeable and to have a jolly sense of humor. The best of luck to Mary in the future. JERRY REIGES jerryls ability as a football player alone has attracted attention. Being of a very shy nature, he has tried to keep in the background. But true worth is not easily hidden, and his friendly disposition has gained him many friends. MINI RESNICK Mini is the girl with the amicable nature and winning ways which have gained her many friends at Classical. She always seems ,to have a spirit of good will about her. Mini is interested in beauty culture, and we are sure that all her admirable qualities plus her artistic ability will make her a fine beautician. JAMES REYNOLDS jimmy is one of the boys who wore a tuxedo to the Senior Prom. His handsome face is known throughout the school. His poetic ability is seen in all his classes Knot seen by the teachers but by the pupils.J GORDON RICH Gordon Tiny Rich is big of build and a fastidious dresser. He can always be found in the hall humming the tune of a popular song or conversing with some select bits of feminity. He deserves great praise for his staunch support of school functions. WILLIAM RICHARDSON Bill is one of the best liked boys of the class. We all enjoy his cheerful and easy manner, and find him very agreeable and enjoyable. He is a good sport and a good student, as well as a fine friend, and his frank, cheerful smile is a great attraction. N inely-Jix AEOCLEKSSEC O Qglliwrisgrarrtas Q C5 xy' el LOUISE ROCHELEAU i Our sheriff's daughter has always shown the school her good spirits because she always was wearing a happy grin. We cannot think of her without also recalling the inevitable Duffy, her inseparable companion. Louise and Duffy have been one of our classic combinations. AGNES ROCK To those of us who know her this young lady seems to radiate efficiency and ability, Aggie not only completed her studies in three and a half years, but she also found time to participate in athletics. Her calm playing on the basketball floor helped her teammates in many a crisis. HAROLD ROME Harold will always be remembered for his excellent declaiming, and for being the president of so many clubs in his senior year. His reserved and quiet nature is liked by all the faculty as well as students. His agreeableness will surely help him to get along at college. RALPH ROSE A Rosesbut without the thorng for Ralph has been known for his generosity and good- fellowship by his admiring classmates. His commendable qualities will soon favor new friends at B. U., where Ralph will surely make a name for himself. MAURICE RUBIN Rarely indeed has the frown of anger crossed his brow. Though he ranks among the most cheerful people, he has unconsciously eliminated all of the rowdy and boisterous from his fun. We hope that he will continue his wise policy, and add a cheerful good luck. PETRONELIA RUKSTELIS Pat is a person who doesn't like to pass notes in classes. She is always interested in what the teacher is saying, and is generally too busy to pay attention to those childish students who sit near her and misbehave. RICHARD RYAN Dick nonchalantly entered the portals of Classical from Sever Street Prep. Happy-go-lucky Dick always has time for a cheery hello for his classmates and is indeed a popular fellow. He loves fun, especially in the form of a prom, and he should because, after all, he was chairman of the Social Committee. Confidentially, Dick has three weaknesses, blondes, brunettes, and redheads. GENEVIEVE SABACINSKI Blond, blue-eyed Genevieve is one of the quietest girls in the Senior class. But there is no reason why she should be, for we do not know what Mr, McKinley would do with his Virgil class if he did not have Genevieve to depend upon for accurate translations. CONSTANCE SAMBORSKI Connie with her modesty and shyness has always set an example which her more hoydenish classmates should follow. She has an excellent sports record and does well in her studies. Al- though Connie says little about it, she has been very active in outside activities. LEON SANDMAN Leon's one ambition has been recognition. In his quest for publicity and fame, he has become the class salesman from his persistency. He had the original idea of taking a picture of a faculty fMiss Ryanj while teaching. He gave Miss Ryan the picture. EDWARD SCANLON Scanlon will look back with great longing several years hence to those carefree high school days, and especially to his sixth hour English class where he bit regularly at all of Miss Shaugh- nessy's baits. Our graduation present is an all-day lollypop. ROSLYN SCHORR It is easy to see why Roslyn has so many friends and why she is so surrounded by well-wishers, for her quiet helpfulness and sincerity earn her more of them each day. Turn to its page and see that even her picture looks angelic-although she plays the piano instead of the harp. N inet y-seven gOCLASS..KC 0 QED Q MYTMS Q9 CQ X-f Y MAIDA SHARFMAN Maida Sharfman has a second home, the Art Museumg she practically lives there. She loves painting and is interested in anything that is connected with the subyect of art. She takes lessons at the Museum and intends to go to an art school when she graduates. HAROLD SHAW Alhough Harold has kept out of the spotlight, those who know him will vouch for him as a friend, Collecting stamps is one of his hobbies. As a member of the Picture Committee he has done his part in graduation preparations. Harold has decided upon Boston University where he will take the course in business administration. RUTH SHEA Ruthie has giggled her way through Classical for the past four years and every class she is in is lightened with her witty remarks and pleasing personality. She is sure to be a success in anything she undertakes. RAYMOND SHLORA Ray is the one who always knows just what x equals but he doesn't break his arm trying to have it known. Serious, although not entirely so, earnest, gifted with the desire to do things and the ability with which to accomplish them, Ray is destined to reach great heights. SHIRLEY SIGEL Our school corridors have been brightened these past few years bv Shirley, who is all sweet- ness and light, she admits. Aforesaid light may have helped you to see her better in the Christmas play if she wasn't too lost in the crowd. WILLIAM SIGNOR William Signor is another of our class artists. His drawings are often among those exhibitctl on the boards in room 38 and we are sure that art must be his great interest. We scarcely ever see him without a portfolio under his arm. FRANCIS SILK Although Francis is very modest, we have found out that he is well'liked among his acquain- tances, because he is good-natured, humorous, and accommodating. He is a dependable student who believes in preparing his lessons. Our sincerest wishes for good luck follow you, Francis. KATHERINE SINCLAIR Katherine Kitty Sinclair is for sure the sweetest member of our class. The charm in her smile, and the sincerity in her twinkling eyes tell you she is an ideal girl. You like her more when you know her and appreciate her high morals. Mr. Post said that she is the best character actress that he has seen for ten years. Not only is she an excellent actress, but also an outstanding scholar. Kitty is a swell girl, and her lovely looks and noble character will always be welcomed anywhere. HAROLD SIRK A shock of black, wavy hair, a smiling face, and a mischievous twinkle of the eye, and you have a sketch of Harold. His geniality and sportsmanship make him well-liked. We thank him in all seriousness for lightening our more or less dull fourth hours. CLAIRE SKAHEN We haven't heard much from Claire during her stay at Classical but nevertheless she has always been ready to greet everyone with a friendly smile and offer help when it is needed. We know that this winsome smile will be a real asset to her in future life. MERRILL SKEIST Merrill's stay at Classical has proved him to be a brilliant student, a line declaimer, an ex- cellent dramatic artist, and a good singer. Fortified with these talents, Merrill intends to go to a technical school next year. JOSEPH SMOLINSKI joseph Smolinski is one of the foremost violinists that we have at Classical. He has been a great asset to orchestra A and has frequently charmed us with his fine touch and his talented playing. We predict concert heights for him if he continues with his music. Ninely-eight 'Yctoxassesro O C65 Q MYTMS or G- 3 PHILIP SOBEL We always thought that Philip was one of our quiet boys until we saw the mischievous twinkle in his eye. Philip happens to be one of the smallest boys in the Senior class, but then good things come in little packages. CHESTER STACKELEK Chester Stackelek is rather deceiving in appearance and manner. In class he is always meek and quiet, and is quite shy. But you should see him in a basketball game! It is hard to believe that the only thing Chester is really afraid of is girls. ANTHONY STANKUS Anthony would probably be welcomed as a member of any football team but evidently his inclination is in other fields. He is quite at home in the chem lab, breaking test tubes with the best of them. This ought to indicate something or other but we don't know what. RUTH STANSFIELD If you should enter Room 9 during fourth hour, you will surely see-or hear Ruthie. She is the blond who is full of fun and unexpected remarks. Her pet hates: cats, lumpy chocolate pudding, small rugs on slippery floors. Her pet likes: sailboatingg reading Dorothy Parkerg sketching glam- orous ladies. FRANK STATKUS The high school coach's dream came true when Frank came to Classical. Big, strong, and fast he was a great success in several sports. He was picked a center on every all-city football team last fall, and as a track and Held performer he excelled in running events, the high jump, and the weight events. FRANK SULLIVAN Sull is undoubtedly the Fred Allen of the class. Anyone who has read a copy of the Daily Dozen Q It dozen say very much j needs no further proof of that. More recently, how- ever, he has turned poet, producing nonsense poems that rival those of Mary Livings:one. GRACE SULLIVAN One of the most accommodating girls in the Senior Class is Grace. More than one person with borrowing tendencies has often taken advantage of her good nature. In addition to her sunny disposition, Grace is the fortunate possessor of naturally wavy hair and long lashes. SHIRLEY SULLIVAN Shirley's pep and vitality have been her distinguishing marks in Classical, and we all know she is a good pal. Her weakness has been chewing gum, but isn't it queer that she was always dis- covered in her fifth hour Latin class? EDWARD SWEENEY Eddie has been a shining athlete and society man at school. His skill in the football field and in baseball games vies with his popularity at dances. He bears a remarkable resemblance to Max Baer Qin more ways than one?J KATHLEEN SWEENEY We have many good musicians in our class, but among the most obliging of them has been Kathleen. Her fourth hours were frequently taken accompanying our choral groups, and many is the time we have sung the Alma Mater with her at the piano. HELEN SZADZIEWICZ Although Helen left us in February, it will be a long time before her engaging smile is forgotten by many of us who had the opportunity of being acquainted with her. Helen plans to continue her studies at Art School. JOHN SZLACHTUN Among the senior class members are a few who are the silent ones, but who form an integral part of the whole. Although John has not expressed it as loudly as some, we know he has enjoyed his years at Classical. N inezy-nine gjotonoxaceseonoofgj o,,llmYTHS fd FELICIA TANONA Felicia has maintained both an athletic and a scholastic standing. She has played varsity basketball for four years, while her marks have always been high. She is a line sport, and her readiness and good will have made her popular with everybody. MELVIN THOMAS Melvin is one of our real good fellowsf' Although his manner is quiet and reserved, we know that there is a good deal of merriment hidden behind this reserve. A tendency to accomplish what he goes after makes us hopeful for a bright future for him. WILLIAM THOMAS Bill's sense of humor and his sharp retorts have caused much laughter. Consequently he is popular and a decided asset to any gathering. An unusual knowledge of current history also helps to make Bill prominent. JAMES THURSTON jimmy is one of the few members of the Rifle Club. He can be seen coming to school with a long rifle rather often. The rifle makes him seem more dangerous than he is. SOLOMON TOBOLSKY This young gentleman has more than one claim to fame. Besides having gone through the inevitable experience of being one of Suzanne Cook's many admirers, Solly is a trumpet player of note. His ability to murder effectively both jazz and classical music is indisputable. BARBARA TOLMAN Barbara Tolman is one of our prides and joys. She does herself proud in her studies and yet finds time to be popular. She is president of the Aletheia and takes an active part in the other clubs of which she is a member. Barbara was the girl chosen by the school to represent Classical at the D.A.R. convention. RITA TRAINOR Who could help but like a thoughtful, sincere, cheerful, friendly, and good-looking girl? Well, Rita is just this type of person. As president of the Classical High Girl Reserves, she has ably Hlled her position. The 1936 class wishes you the best of luck, Rita. EUGENE VAITEKUNAS 'lGene seems to have discovered the happy medium that combines the proper amount of work, play, and study. He has decided upon his goal in life, and is striving to attain it without losing the pleasant accompaniments of victory. We have no doubt of his ultimate success, and wish him ubon voyage meanwhile. MILDA VALATKA Milda Valatka is our best all-around girl. She is an excellent student, a fine athlete, and an eager club-member. Besides the many she belongs to at school, she is associated with several outside organizations. Milda plans to major in languages and her objective is Smith College. The word fail isn't in Milda's vocabulary. HAROLD WAITE ' Harold has a peculiar interest in chemistry. He can always tell you when there is danger of ex- plosion, danger of burning, etc. His one great feat is cleaning out crucibles and gas flasks after the class has done its best to mutilate them beyond repair. His pet bugaboo is German. GEORGE WAITKEVICH This young man may be quiet, but he's certainly not idle! He likes sports of all kinds, especial- ly fishing, swimmingAand, oh yes, we musnlt forget billiards! His ambition is to attend Worces- ter Tech. Let's hope he enjoys his studies as he does his sports. WILLIAM WARREN William Warren was one of our quiet boys. But behind his glasses were cooperation and willingness to try. His friends will always tell you how sincere he is in his work, whatever it may be. This will to try will certainly bring him ahead after he leaves Classical. One lmndred QOCLASSBHC 1165? iyirwitctertals Q , Q, 'rr c M A sa gl ANTHONY WHITE His high school years have been as nothing to Tony. But for height, he looks much as he did when a freshman. Courage to swallow the bitter with the sweet has carried him through, and in years to come we believe that the same fine qualities as he displays now will support him. VIRGINIA WHITE Commerce's loss was indeed Classical's gain when Virginia decided to favor us with her charming presence. We all know this socially inclined miss who is always apparelled in the cho1cest clothes. Virginia captivates many with her chatter and laughter and we know she always will. PETER WONDOLOWSKI Peter is one of our ambitious ladsg he plans to be an author, a famous one. Peter is always cheerful and has a keen sense of humor, so perhaps he will turn out to be a second P. G. Wode- house, whom we will remember with pride as a Classical alumnus. JUDITH wooD Peaches and cream on a cool, summer day. That's judy. What would the young man of Classical have done without Judy to look at?--and what would the young ladies have done with- out Judy to set the styles for them! With her winning personality and Venus-like figure, no wonder gentlemen prefer blondes! ROBERT WOOD Although Bob spends considerable time in the office, it is nothing to worry about as he is merely there as office boy. He is distinguished by his fancy plaid shirts and ties. During his Classical sojourn, Bob has belonged to the Riding Club. September will find him busy at Worcester Tech. WILLIAM WOOD William Wood has gained quite a reputation as a biologist and as president of the Agassiz Club he has made that organization a very popular and successful one. Surely no one has more colorful hobbies than he, for he has some champion fighting cocks which, along with his pigeons, greatly enliven the annual pet show. EDMUND ZALESKI Eddie is well known to anyone interested in athletics. As regular football guard he was a tower of strength and he also capably filled his position as basketball manager. Incidentally, we wonder whether Ed ever found that tooth. fAsk any member of the football squad.J WALTER ZAWALICH junior,' a Grafton Street junior High product is another boy too modest, too self-conscious, or too something to go out for school teams. However, he is a member of fast, independent, amateur teams in several sports. One hundred one New Deal For Classical HDK had a cabinet meeting just the other day, Chief brain-truster Merrill Skeist proposed the NRA: Shorter working hours for all! for studes and teachers too! A real New Deal for everyone, for you, and you, and you! To school at ten and home at nine Qwe'll owe an hour each dayj- And there won't be any studying if we work it in that wayf' But Kingsley then stood up in wrath. You can't do thatli' he cried. If they all go home before they come, over what can I preside? We must have meetings of the class I'm sure you will agree, But if there isn't any school, how mn that ever be? And so if only twice a month seniors must go to school In order not to miss those meetings at which they love to foolf' They passed the bill in just the form that Kingsley hoped they would, And when the boys and girls found out, they cried, Won't that be good! Time went on Qas it always doesj with the students gay as larks. The only ones dissatisfied were all those studying sharks, Said these brilliant boys and girls of ours, our scholars Horace Mann 'lWe'll take it to the Supreme Court,-just stop us if you can. Qln our school, as you surely know, the teachers are the tops , In all things of judicial ilk from them the verdict drops.j In spite of our heroic fight the case went through the courts Until it reached the faculty, who were feeling out of sorts. fWith school just meeting twice a month they all were out of work And if there's anything they hate, it's being forced to shirk.j The smarties Walter Gruzdis as their lawyer did appoint, We common folk thought jack Magune the best around the joint And so before the high tribunal these two lads appeared While the multitudes assembled in turn both cheered and jeered. Gruzdis then attacked the law with gesture and with word, That bill should never have been passedf' he vehemently averred. But our champion undaunted bravely came right back, You can't deny it's pleased us all, retaliated jack. For hour on hour, yea, week on week thus the battle raged. A verdict favoring the law was commonly presaged For jack was winning, that was sure beyond the shadow of a doubt. But our teachers oft admittedly don't know what it's all about, Since their decisions as to marks are sometimes rather queer, They may also err judicially in the cases they may hear. The verdict that they gave now that the lawyering was done Was eagerly awaited by the students, every one. Chief justice Fenner read the thing in voice so loud and clear That no one possibly could fail his stentorian tones to hear. The message read was very short,-just seven words in all,- 'Twas this: We find this law to be UNCONSTITUTIONALX' fOh, well, it was only a dream, anywayj One lazmdred two Road to Rome One fine AREY morning when every little BIRD was singing in the tree tops, one old MANN and all his neighbors set our to ROME the world. They had worked hard all their life and now they had decided to leave the old OLMSTEAD. They were quite a crowd, for there were Pears and PEAR SON, and Daws and DAW SON, and Peter and PETER SON. They piled into Pears' one-horse SHEA made of BREIT BORDs, and into Daws' CARR and off they went. Although the car was rickety, it managed to go off under its own POWER. All morning they travelled, and when they reached the WHITE MOUNTAINs, they decided to stop for lunch in a nearby WOOD. Pears offered to get the WOOD for the fire, but to everyone-'s dismay, it wouldn't burn. Daws, who had once been a Boy Scout, informed the party it was no wonder because Pears had brought GREEN WOOD. Oh, SHAWQ' cried Pears, let's HOPP INto the CARR and SHEA again, and stop at some road-side stand for lunch. I don'r want to WAITE for a fire. So they drove off. The day got hotter and hotter. The old MANN and his neighbors got crosser and crosser, To add to their discomfort, every time they hit a ROCK, each ROSE high in the air and landed hard in his seat again. Daws nnally couldn't stand it any longer and he said, Let's stop now. I have an awful THURST ON. They would have had to stop anyway because at that moment the wheel of the SHEA collapsed. The old MANN was especially glad to stop because his rheumatism had begun to PAYNE him. So the whole party again stopped by the wood to rest. Before Peter knew it his son had run into STANS FIELD which was nearby and was perched on a limb of an apple tree eating a juicy MACINTOSH. PETER SON was hollering at the top of his ungs Haw, haw. PAPPA'S mad. He can't get me. Peter, in dispair, sat down by the side of the road and moppeD 'IS BROW. Call- ing PEAR SON to him he groaned, Go to town and bring back a CARPENTER to Hx this wheel. Down the dusty road went PEAR SON. Daws who was still thirsty wandered into a NEW FIELD in search of a spring of water. The rest of the party sat down in the grass and mourned their plight. PETER SON, who was always getting into mischief, was now perched on a fence calling a stray cow- COWEE. COWEE. The cow which bore Stans' BRAND, came over, but not alone, for following it were live KATZ, PETERS SON, who, after seeing the cow and KATZ, was making plans to become a RICH farmer some day, decided to find out just how much a FARN'S WORTH. He was just about to jump off the fence and walk through Stans' garden of PEASE when he heard his PAPPA'S voice calling him. Obeying for fear his father would KANE him, he ran back to the group. He discovered that the old MANN, Pears and PEAR SON, Daws and DAW SON, and Peter had decided to go back to the old OLMSTEAD for dinner, because it was too hard to ROME the world in a CARR and one-horse SHEA.
