It was a hot breathless day in June as Bill Edmonds and -Iim Blair played tennis in the shady high school court. Since they had met for the first time a week before, the boys spent a part of every day together. Bill, the son of a local merchant, had lived all of his life in the small town, while jim had just moved there. Bill was active and vivacious, interested mainly in sports, while jim was more quiet and studious. However, they had a common interest -tennis. Today they were ending their second set. Well, Iet's quit now, Jim. We each have a set, said Bill, throwing down his racket and wiping his moist fore- head. HO. K., Bill, said jim and, walking to the net, let it slide to the ground. The boys lay side by side on the cool grass under a huge tree and rested quietly for a moment. P jim, started Bill, and paused. I-Iuh? Jim, have you got a girl? Sure, I know a nice girl. She's just my type. I've taken her to the movies several times. What you want to know for? Oh, I don't know. I have a girl, too. She's swell! Loves to swim, and play tennis, and ride bicycles, and hike. Everything I like to do! She's pretty, too! You know, dancing eyes and curly hair. And is she full of pep! What's yours like? Very different from yours, I assure you. She's quiet and intellectual, We discussed lots of deep things and she seemed to know just what I was talk- ing about! You can have your athletic girls! What does she look like, Jim? She's graceful and dreamy-pretty, too, but it's the mind that counts, not the face! jim seemed to be Iost in thought for a moment. Hjim! Why don't we both get our girls and go to the 'show' together tonight? They're having a good pic- ture at 'Bijou'. Say, that's a fine idea! l'll go now, and ask mine. I'II call you up later. MO. K. l'1l do the same. So long! On the piazza of No. ll Chestnut Street, ,Iim was seated in serious con- ference with his intellectual girl-friend when he saw his friend Bill coming down the street toward them. Look, Ann, he said, There goes CLASS OF 1937 9 Bill now. Do you know him? He's going to ask his girl, and go with us tonight. He paused in amazement as Bill came toward them. Have you seen your girl already? he began, but halted as Bill broke in. Say, what are you doing here? This is my girl! Ann gasped and started to speak but Jim interrupted. Do you mean that this is the girl you told me about? But there must be a misunderstanding some- where! Ann! Did you tell him you loved sports? And you told me you loved astronomy! Poor Ann could do nothing but nod weakly, looking from one to the other. The boys turned to each other, ignor- ing her. Well, Bill? Well, jim? Let's go to the movies together! If the boys had bothered to turn around, they would have seen their ex-girl-friend looking very distressed, but they did not bother. They were too busy discussing their next tennis game, as they walked arm in arm down the walk. IVlarion I... Gallagher '38 Q THE WAR CRISIS IN THE WORLD TODAY Any condition in world affairs that may exist today is certainly the direct result of the World War. The close of the Great War found the nations of the world in a strange and sorrowful situation. Russia had been swept by revolutiong Austria was dismembered and shorn of its l-lapsburgsg the proud Germany was broken and demoral- izedg Italy had had a taste of gloryg japan had become war-consciousg Great Britain, France and the United States were the dubious victors. The four victors of the war who found themselves still intact, decided on a liberal course of action. Herein, lies the cause of the present world crisis. The framers of the Kellogg-Bfriand pact implied in their treaty that those who had world power would keep it, and those who were without power would not seek it, According to this treaty the set-up of territorial division was satisfactory, and therefore no nation should have a war-like ambition to increase its size or influence. It is easy to see that the big three-France, Britain, and the United States-as the dominant and satisfied powers, were willing to make the existence of the present boundaries perpetual. With a condition such as this, no hope for lasting peace could ever be realized. As Walter Lippman has said in his thesis on War in a Collectivist World , There is a struggle for the supremacy of the world which will never cease until one of the belligerents is annihil- ated. Before one can develop further the fight to the finish program that is conspicuous throughout history, one must line up the nations of the earth into two catagories and explain the underlying reason for such a division. There will always be in Mankind the struggle between the haves and the have-notsn. ln relation to world I0 YEAR BOOK affairs there are two aspects to this perpetual social struggle. First, there is the constant conflict within the in- dividual countries, which during the World Depression, was accentuated, and kept all governments locally en- gaged. Then there is the international aspect of the same problem which will always cause much trouble. For clearer definition, the international viewpoint, between the countries, may be divided into the two classes: the haves and the 'ihave-notsn. Regardless of the internal set-up of a country such as Socialism, Commun- ism, Capitalism, and Democracy, the following countries, with regard to social division, will be classified as haves : France, England, Russia, China, United States, and some of the independent countries that are wealthy in raw materials, such as Norway, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. These countries will always have a common interest and protection, for they are the landowners of the world. In this other group, the so called have-notsn, it seems, strangely enough, that the type of government, Fascism , is an element, Fascism has sprung up in the poor , capitalistic countries that are deficient in money. land, and natural resources. The poorer classes in these countries have been made to realize, through the medium of a dictator, that there is nothing to be had by overpowering the wealthy of the land. On the contrary, they have been made to see that the cause of their plight is due to the stifling, oppressive, foreign countries. This par- tially true attitude, when correctly fos- tered, gives the people of the country a strong nationalistic outlook. It tends to unity, militarism, and a powerful, centralized government. Thus we classify the Hhavenotsn. The ruling countries of the world control about nine-tenths of the terri- tory and people, yet the strongly cen- tralized, proletarian nations are almost as powerful. The paradoxical element about the whole situation is that the Fascists hate the Communists, and the Communists likewise abhor the Fas- cistsg yet the two governments are basicly identical. Both forms have the centralized government. Theoretically they differ only in that the Communist fights against a ruling class within the country, and the Fascist plots against the ruling powers outside his country. Hitler, Mussolini, as well as the Japan- ese Emperor, have encouraged national- ism in their respective countries. They have clearly recognized that the only way for race advancement is by ag- gressiveness and militarism, No one can deny that these dictators have ac- complished their aim. Germany has been transformed from a defenseless, bankrupt, demoralized country into an upright, defiant, centralized people. Germany, ltaly, and Japan are lead- ing the remainder of the world into an armaments race that is leaving the latter, short-winded. Already Great Britain has been enticed into spending ponderous sums of money on protec- tion. This will leave England unable to tend to her foreign markets and she will find herself hard pressed to meet all her obligations. ln the mean- time, Germany, Italy, and Japan, with their aggressive, give-and-take policy, CLASS OF 1937 ll will have captured these foreign mar- kets and left Great Britain in a weak- ened disillusioned state. This would, without doubt, aggravate the stubborn, trusting John Bull to a state of war. It is not correct to say that war is im- pending as never before, because the grip of the depression has not been lifted from trade and commerce. How- ever, as soon as the period of ex- pansion and recovery occurs, some- one's toes will be stepped on, and the war dogs will bark. The war crisis in the world today may be briefly summarized. The ruling countries of the world, France, Russia, Great Britain, and the United States, have the choice of a peaceful land expansion, or war. The powerful, nationalistic countries, Germany, ltaly, Japan, Austria, Hungary, and Turkey, mean to obtain their raw materials and colonies by means, ethical or other- wise, The Manchurian and Ethiopian incidents substantiate this, Already in the Spanish Civil War, we see a slight conflict between the deadly adver- saries, Fascism and Communism. The hounds of war are beginning to bay, and Mars is polishing his sword. The war-prophets are no longer asking . . . Who? The question that now puzzles the world is . . . When?

Alma Spearwater, ' 38 I2 YEAR BOOK Q THE POWER OF THE PRESS The Press has extended itself as a permanent guest into our homes. lt is like a bossy old aunt, who tells us what we shall eat, drink, and wear. lt tells us what we dog where we gog and how we act. The newspaper dif- fers from most aunts in that it is a really welcome guest. We await the coming of the paper more eagerly than the arrival of any friend, for it is indeed one of our best friends. Our aunt tells us what to do, but the moment that she is gone, we pro- ceed to follow our usual habits, The newspaper, however, controls our thoughts to a much greater extent than does our aunt. Of course, if you curse the paper boy, who is late on account of the weather, merely because you cannot wait to read the funnies, the more serious editorial page very likely holds little control over your thoughts. Most people never read the editorial page. I have a curious habit Cperhaps l have an oriental background, of going through magazines and newspapers backwards. l do this with magazines because it is easier for me to Hip the pages from the back cover to the front. As for the evening paper, the only explanation is that the funnies are at the back. The next section, going back- wards, is the sports page, and then, the editorial. Here, on theeditorial page. l spend more time than on either of the other sections. Considering the time spent, one might conclude that this section influences me the most. For the past century, the Press has held a tremendous influence in politics. The Press has elected its candidates for the highest office in our land, as it has succeeded generally in breaking the opposition. lt is known by all now how that political influence was wrecked fat least temporarilyl in the last election. Never before had the Press unleashed its resources so vig- orously to attack a presidential candi- date. Publishers and editors, who had been thoroughly Democratic four years ago, were totally opposed to Mr. Roosevelt. The slaves of the Press fi. e. the editors, the journalists, and the reporters, were forced by threat of being discharged, to write all sorts of slander. After the election, the papers tried to make the importance ol Roosevelt's victory at the polls seem small. That vote against Landon was really a vote against the Press, The public at last saw the Press as a tool of the wealthy, who are afraid of Roose- velt and his liberal ideas of sharing the wealth. A certain periodical hails this defeat of the Press as an indication of com- ing disaster to the big publishers. It may be as serious as that, or it may merely indicate a waning of the po- litical power of the Press. Two decades ago the Press was able to defeat Bryan by closing all its advertising space to him. Bryan turned to the only alterna- tive-speaking at open-air rallies and from the rear platforms of trains. He could not, however, reach a fraction of the number of people that his op- ponent, McKinley, was able to reach through the papers. Today, if the papers close their advertising space to CLASS OF 1937 a certain candidate, that candidate can reach a greater number of people through the mediums of the radio and the motion pictures, As a matter of fact, both parties spent more money for radio time than for newspaper space in the last election. Of course, the Re- publicans did not have to buy l-learst's or Knox's editorial space. Recently, a bill has been introduced before the French Chamber of Depu- ties to overcome this very same evil. What appeared to be honest-to- goodness news was really propaganda of some political party which had bought the space. lt was proposed that newspapers be required to keep books for government inspection, so that there would be a list available, showing the sources of revenue of the paper. It is hoped that this plan will also clear up the scandal about the munitions firms buying space in the news col- umns and the editorial pages. ln fact, all sorts of bugs were crawling into the pages of the French press-even pro-Cermanist propaganda. This new curb on the French press while it would not hurt the freedom of the Press, would put to an end such 'gross slander as made Salengero commit suicide by making writers liable for slanderous writing. Little as we would like to turn any grayer the hair on the heads of those grizzled, old publishers, who are now hovering around the eighties, we can- not refrain from wondering aloud how anybody fbe he even a newspaper editorj would have audacity to claim to be the sole instigator who caused our country to enter into War with Spain! Even the French munitions makers try I3 to keep their war propaganda a secret! One of the chief faults of these editors who feel the patriotic blood stirring in their veins is in the inconsis- tency of their attitude. I quote the famous Horace C:reeley's words, which he uttered in a flaming editorial, just before the hrst battle at Ball Run, Cn to Richmond! What were his words, however, after the first defeat to the North? The power of the Press is also wan- ing in our law-making houses. No longer does Congress feel itself obliged to pass legislation which the publishers are trying to push through. Time and again, laws have been passed fwith no evidence of public opposition, which the Press has strongly protested. Per- haps our Congressmen have discovered that the Press no longer represents the will of the people. The public, in truth, has very little opinion, Only a very small minority of our population puts itself to any effort in thinking over the words that the editorials hurl at them. This is at- tested by the words of a leading jour- nalist and editor. Tremendous as the power of the printed word is supposed to be in directing the course of events, this editor has found that the words have to be of a rankling nature. The words have to be deeply prejudiced to something that directly hurts the people, whether it be religion, class distinction, jobs, pension, or a privilege of the people. The power of the Press is teetering on a delicate balance. Some assert that it is waning: others maintain that it is as strong as it always has been. ln one country there is a movement to curb 14 YEAR BOOK the power of the Pressg in another country there is a movement to give the Press more freedom. lt remains to be seen whether the Press will retain the freedom and the privileges which it has hitherto enjoyed. ln this respect very much depends upon its own be- havior. The Press itself must try to reform the chief faults which are now weakening its prestige. The fourth estate must learn to be less arrogant. Writers have to dis- continue breaking good reputations by employing slander as a means to defeat their opponents. The publishers must cease being so tyrannical over their own employees, No axe should be held n GRADUATION over the head of the editor or writer in order to induce him to write what the publisher wants. The publishers have to become less greedy. They fought the N. R. A. like wolves because it would have interfered with their exploitation of children. The owners of the big newspaper chains maintain lobbies in Washington to protect their own interests. Laborers, farmers, and political lib- eralists do not believe that they will ever get fair play from the Press. The Press has continually scorned all rules of the game. It is only for its own good that the Press should try to remedy these basic reasons for its waning power.

The English pro- gram calls for domination of the air with 7,000 planes, as well as an en- larged navy, which will control the seas. Russia is supposed to have the most powerful army in the worldg Ger- many is subordinating almost every- thing to armaments, and France is staggering under immense war expendi- ures. japan is still under the domination of military leaders and ltaly is prepar- build up all branches of the service. The policy of the United States will be and air squadrons as any other nation. The war to end wars appears now as vvar to extend War, as the armament ing to to make us as strong in ships race has begun again, For several years Europe has been marching from crisis to crisis, precisely as it did in the period between the affair of Tangier and the assassination of Serajevo, Thus the cre- ation of a new German army and navy shattered the peace of Versailles by a gesture as brusque as the landing of the Kaiser in Tangier in l905. Again in l934 the murder of the Austrian chancellor, Dollfuss, by a group of Nazi conspirators, precipitated a crisis as acute as that of Bosnia in l908. ln I935 the ltalian-Ethiopian war, brought about a situation as tense as that arising from the Agadir affair in I9I l. Finally, the current year has seen the development of the Spanish crisis, out of which it is evident there may, at any moinent, arise an incident as fatal to peace as the crime of Serajevo in I9 l 4. The Spanish revolt has caused more alarm in England and France than the ltalian crisis. Despite the fact that, at one time, war between England and ltaly appeared more than a possibility, it was, at all times, possible to settle the dispute. But, there is no possibility of any settlement of the Spanish revolu- tion. Either the Communists or the Fascists must win. The overshadowing issue is not na- tional, but international. ln the stormy sl-:ies of Spain are traced the crude out- lines of a contest-not for one country --, but for the mastery of Europe. For the first time the Fascist powers have been seen moving together. For the first time the shadow of two lnter- nationales instead of one, appears on the horizon, Hitherto Fascism has been the apo- theosis of nationalism. Mussolini has played a lone hand, with no further aim than the interests and aggrandize- ment of ltaly. Hitler has followed the same course in Germany. The policy of the dictators has been antagonistic rather than cooperative. Fascist ltaly blocked Nazi Germany in Austria, and during the 'Ethiopian campaign ltaly received no help from Germany beyond a frigid neutrality. ln Spain, however, though both signed hands-off agreements to prevent others from aiding the Madrid gov- ernment, they act as Fascist states in open sympathies with the insurgents. This solidarity is more striking than that of France and Russia on the other side because it is a new portent, the sign of a line-up never seen before. I6 YEAR BOOK The new emphasis is all on the system of government. Before the nation was exalted into a symbol of fascism or communism, it would have made little difference to ltaly how or by whom Spain was ruled, and Russia would not have felt that her prestige was involved in the outcome of a civil war on the lberian peninsula. But today ltaly and Russia are some- thing more than nations. As repre- sentatives of rival systems, they are interested in the affairs of their neigh- bors in many capacities. This compli- cates international relations. No gov- ernment could make a move one way or another in the Spanish situation without implying a choice, not between Loyalists and the Rebels, but between communism and fascism. As symbols, they divide Europe into opposing camps, and these divisions cut through national lines, through alliances, and through geographical barriers. They foreshadow the war all nations dread most-the war without frontiers, not country against country, but front against front-civil war on an inter- national scale, without rules and with- out end. ls this long-feared war about to begin? Only time can give the answer. The danger of war in Europe is great, but the danger is far greater in another part of the world-the Far East. The latest clash between the forces of Man- choukuo and outer Mongolia has been of so serious a character as almost to convey the impression that the war has already begun. According to the Japanese, there were more than a hundred such clashes last year, and everything seems to indicate that they are increasing rather than diminishing in violence. Does this mean that war is imminent between lVlanchoukuo and Mongolia? Vast issues depend upon the answer to this question be- cause the world knows that Manchou- kuou means Japan, and now knows also that Outer Mongolia means Russia. ln the historic interview which Stalin gave Roy Howard, it was stated that the Soviet Union would regard ag- gression against Mongolia as a casus belli. It is clear, therefore, that if Japan really wants to attack Outer Mongolia, the result will be war with Russia. Does Japan want this war? ln an attempt to answer this question, one has to consider briefly the motives that impel a nation to so hazardous a step as war. First, one may put greed, the desire for new territory, or expansion as it is called. Does this motive animate Japan? The answer must be yes, be- cause in the last five years the Japanese have deliberately invaded North China, and have completed the seizure of all Chinese territory north of the Great Wall. A second powerful motive is internal unrest-the fear of a social disturbance which might be counteracted by the patriotic fervor which war produces. A singularly dangerous experiment this, but one that has been tried before and may well be tried again. A third factor which makes for war is pressure of population when living conditions become so difficult that an outlet is necessary, ln japan all these factors are evident. As a result of a greatly-increase popula- tion, the living conditions of the Jap- CLASS OF I937 I7 anese peasantry, and, for that matter, the Japanese worker, have become in- tolerable. Finally, there exists in Japan a military-naval clique whose influence is extremely great. They are restless men, whose ambitions are unlimited. It must not be forgotten that this power- ful section of the japanese leaders has a fanatical belief in the power and in- vulnerability of Japan. ln the last forty years they have fought three victorious wars, against China, then against Czar- ist Russiag and then against the Cier- mans at Tsingtao in 1915. That the China they defeated before the end of the last century was a mere shell, appears to escape them. That the Russia they defeated in Nlanchuria was utterly corrupt and inefficient, without adequate transportation facilities, and with comparatively small forces, does not enter their calculations. They for- get, too, that the small German colony at Tsingtao was very different from the Kaiser's armies which stormed through France in I9l4. Therefore, they have an incredible confidence in themselves, and it is this fact that makes the present situation so dangerous. It seems that war is almost inevitable in the near future-on one side, Japan, impelled by many motives, and, on the other, Russia, firmly determined to resist japanese aggressions. There is no further need of dwelling upon the dangers of war. These are evident, But what progress have the nations made towards peace? Through all the centuries of conflict, Europe and Asia have struggled against their tragic heritage of war. The struggle has not beeim without war. The arts and sciences, now Hourishing, now languishing, have survived. lmperishable contributions to the progress and enlightenment of man- kind have defied devastation. But the Qld World builds its temples in the intervals of peace, and rains destruction What hope may there be that Europe and Asia will not always turn from progress to killing? There is no hope. That hope is in America. It might almost seem that the Creator, despair- ing of the future of civilization in the hands of nations never far enough removed from war to know its futility, set apart another continent where men might learn to live in peace and security. Christianity, the greatest force of human happiness, appeared first in Asia and would have died there. Europe nourished the Christian inspiration, and preserved it for the guidance of future generations. But, Europe failed to free mankind forever, from the darkness of the feudal ages of which war is a relic, and thus failed its destiny. America is today what Europe might have been and may still be. America has become the greatest nation in the world, made so by the merging of races transplanted from a continent, Where it is the purpose of man to kill and be killed, to a land where men are content to live and let live, America is a new world, indeed-symbolical of new hope for the older nations of Europe. Europe must turn eventually from war for con- quest, war for revenge and war for the aggrandizement of relentless dic- tators. Europe must live as America is determined to live, free of hate, of jealousy and free of war! William Shyne '37 I8 0 THE WOODS IN SPRING YEAR BOOK There is no end of happiness in spring, When in the woods the robins sing all day, Their melodies are sweet and not less gay Than are the songs the fairy-creatures sing ln deep, dark woods at night. A golden ring Of daffodils shows where the fairies play ln silvery moonlight, near the trees that sway, And o'er the wood their inky shadows Fling. And yet, not only when the sun and moon Shine on the wood, do peace and beauty reign. But also when the wood is pierced by showers Which often leave-on stopping far too soon- A rainbow in the sky, and near the lane, A richer host of fresher trees and Howers. Joseph Pazniokas '37 0 FOG The Reverend Lyman Smith walked moodily, with head down, along the glistening, deserted street. A wet fog and the night obscured his vision, but just ahead he could dimly see the rails on the bridge over the muddy East River. The Reverend Lyman Smith had a destination. He was not out at that hour for the exercise, because, if he had been, he would not have allowed his step to drag as he approached the bridge. He would not have appeared so nervous as he peered through the fog behind him. It was almost as if he feared pursuit. A The sudden detection of a man hug- ging the shadows close to the railing startled him. l-le stared at the man's back for a long minute, and then under- stood. The suicide statistics on the bridge were rather high. The good clergyman placed a hand on the stran- ger's shoulder and turned him about, Young man, said the Reverend Smith, as he looked kindly into the young face, ul understand. l see your thoughts very clearly. But you are Wrong. My advice to you is to go back and face it. Go back and fight it. Your back may be to the wall, but fight back while you still stand. You have no right to destroy yourself. What happened to you was caused to come about by One who is greater than us all, by a Will that rules us all. You have no right to dispute that Will. Go back and face what you seek to escape from. Fight it. If you can, forget it. If it is a loss, make it good, Go back. Though we fail to see it, there is always a purpose in everything he does. The dull, tired eyes stared at him. CLASS OF 1937 I9 For a moment he hesitated, then he turned quickly, and with renewed effort in his person, strode, almost ran, back. As the fog closed around the re- treating form, the good Reverend Lyman Smith followed it with his eyes. Then, once more alone on the bridge, he stepped quickly to the rail and threw himself into the water. Roger Flaherty '37 . REFLECTIONS om THE LIFE OF MY cm I call him Butch.

After chasing him around the barn, up trees, through rose bushes, and in every nook and cranny in which his feline instinct informed him that he might receive protection, I became so exhausted that I sat down and cried. When I thought of the ridiculous situa- tion I had created and brought to a climax by admitting that a dumb ani- mal had out-tricked me, I roared with laughter at my own stupidity. Because he had lived in the barn with the other animals since he was born, I might have known that he was as wild as an Osage and just as savage. So one night, when I knew he'd be asleep, I came back and bagged him. That was five years ago. Since that night Butch and I have rung in many crucial moments, but there is one which willlalways remain as fresh as wet paint in my memory. My Aunt, who never liked the cat very well, showed him the door one night on the pretext that he had shown a yellow streak. Now, I was willing to stake a brand new jack-knife in Butch's interests, but as I had no actual proof, I realized that I must uncover some pronto. Two weeks later, I was drying my hands and watching the sun rise, when I suddenly spied Butch in the onion patch gazing peacefully into space. But what raised my hopes to heaven and made me so happy that I wanted to shout for joy, was the sight of a malicious-looking, battle-bound tom, striding pessimistically between two rows of cornstalks. In a split second the inevitable hap- pened, but not before I had called my Aunt to witness the battle. Since that day, Butch has been allowed the privi- lege of eating beside my chair at meal- time. Being a faithful side-kick, Butch fol- lows me and my friends everywhere, dodging behind bushes and trees when autos approach, only to reappear when they have whizzed by. When I am deep in the depths of des- pair and melancholy, I go to my room and open the window and yell for Butch. Sooner or later I hear a faint answer and catch a glimpse of a yellow streak racing up from the direction of 20 YEAR BOOK the brook. I can always depend on him As the camel is to the desert traveler, to understand me because he just lets so is Butch to me, and for nothing on me rave on and on while he purrs away earth would I part with him. with that I know how it is look in his Dorothy McDermott '37 eyes. Q A MEMORY Underneath the ocean, Down below the sea, Resting on the pebbles, Lies a memory. Part of it is laughter, Part of it is song, Some of it is happiness- All of it is gone! Forgotten by the ocean surf, Forgotten by the land, Forgotten by the screaming gulls- just resting on the sand. Barbara Rathbun '38 CLASS OF 1937 21 Q HIGHLIGHTS IN GIRLS' SPORTS First on the girls' winter sports cal- endar for the season was basketball. The varsity team broke out even but the Iaurels go to the second team again, which did not drop a game. ln the lnterscholastic games the honors go to the Senior Team which won every game scheduled for them. Although the Sophomores and Juniors did not come through with all victories, they proved to be a good match to all their opponents and both look like promising teams for next year. As a whole the Norwood High School Basketball Team had a successful season. ln the first team, captained by Anne Mike, were: Kelly, E.. Treciokas, H. Simaski, G. IVIinkevitch A. javasaitis, O. Boyd, A. S. Orent, IVI. Dwane, and M. Keacly. Captainecl by Sophie Aukstolis, the Second Team consisted of: A. Main- ones, l... Fenton, S. jusikiewicz, H. Pazniokas, M. Boulis, IVI. Kelley. A. O'Brien, D. Lobisser, A. Glebus, and R. Sparrow. Sophie Aukstolis was elected next year's Varsity captain. Scores for the Interscholastic games were as follows: Sophomores 20-Wellesley Sophs, I5 juniors 23-Wellesley Juniors 7 Seniors I8-Wellesley Seniors 5 Sophomores 9-Needham Sophs. 32 juniors I4-Needham Juniors I 2 Seniors I 3-Needham Seniors I 0 Sophomores 7-Natick Sophs.

BOYS' SPORTS FOOTBALL Early in September, the football candidates reported to Mr. lVlurray. The squad was the heaviest in years, but it lacked veterans. This proved to be a great handicap throughout the season. Norwood's first game was with Hudson High, a little corn-patch town in the western part of the state. Played under very unfavorable conditions, the game proved disastrous. Nine of the Hudson players were veterans and they knew where the stumps and mounds of their field were locatedg whereas, the Nor- wood boys, green to begin with, had difficulty in keeping from tripping in the briar patches. The partiality of the officials might further explain the score of 27 to 0. lt was in the No. Quincy game that Norwood really showed its mettle. Stars of this game were Naimi Bader, Marty Kelly, and Ralph Surrette. The final score was 7 to 0. Much is owed to promising, young Donovan, who di- rected a powerful Norwood assault, in a manner well befitting his athletic background. Our traditional, annual battle with Dedham resulted in a glorious defeat for the sons of Norwood. The game was characterized by the 70-yard run made by Dedham's great back, Lyman Avery, who made the single touchdown of gg 23 Simaski, Albina Thompson, Stella O'Kulovitch, Martha Taylor, Stella Jusikiewicz, Lucille Riemer, Betty Schroeder and Lucille Fenton. Annie lVlike '37 the game in the first few minutes of play. BASKETBALL proved to be a big disappointment this year, the team emerged the loser only too frequently. Among the really keen competition that we faced this year was that team which came out of Natick and which proved unbeatable. The team, composed mostly of veterans, was coached by Norwood's own Tom O'Donnell. Nor- wood's chief scorers were Bubber Smith and Nit Gustafson. Norwood's INDOOR TRACK team, coached by Mr. Wheeler, had a fairly successful season. Robert Zoboli, a dependable and consistent broad jumper, could always be relied upon to win his points. Harvey Nutter, Fred Frueh, Charles Diggs, Peter Amirault, Donald Alden, and Franny Quiann were others who performed brilliantly throughout the season. As this goes to press, Coach lVlurray's BASEBALL team has not yet got under way, but the prospects look bright. With the two veterans, Tommy Thornton and Ralph Surrette, and such proven players as Early, Conroy, Amirault, Flaherty, Donovan, Stanavitch, and Smith, we cannot help having a smash- ing season.

As you know or should know, the Orchestra is well-known throughout Massachusetts, and New England, and has in years past, won several trophies and awards. It is made up of an accom- plished group of musicians. We marvel at a second Rubinoff, that most ambitious Miss Lillian Karki. Best of luck, Lillian, to your future success. It is a treat to see Roger Flaherty take his violin playing so seriously. His heart and soul are in his playing, and we think his mind is too, A hunt for our little friend Joe Riley finds him almost hidden behind his mellophoneg and being pushed aside by the loud blasts of Norman Berezin's baritone-sax. We go to another side of the orches- tra-pit, and find Robert Zoboli and his snare-drum. Robert is an up and com- ing drummer, but he is with the wrong orchestra, for he craves jazz . f Mr. Chost Coes to Town , and the Coona- Coon., That amateur bass-drummer , as Roger P. Flaherty dubbed Katherine McLean, has been playing the drum for the past two years, and she gives all credit to Arthur Davis, '36, who so willingly taught her how. The second-violin section, which by the way is one of the best in years. consists of Helen Cleary, Sylvia Clei- cauf, Lucille Langlois, Magda Larson, Margaret Ahearn, Marjorie Donlan, and Marion Hartshorn. Directly opposite, is the First-violin section, among which might be the suspected Hringersn, they are so good. lncluded in the group are: Lillian Karki, who is concert master, Jeanette Ceroso, Roger Flaherty, Lucille Riemer, Ver- onica Riley, Salvatore Ferrara, Michael Triventi, Dennis Murphy, and Clifford McLatchey. Elizabeth Clancy, and Martha Tay- lor make up the piano-duet, and both are very good players. William Merrill and Duncan Cush- ing are the jazz-masters , but jazz is not allowed in the Norwood High School Orchestra. Helen Clancy and Julius Kauffman are both accomplished clarinetists. Margaret McDonough, who plays the soprano-sax, is doing quite all right, The five trumpeters led by Elston Bernham, are exceptionally good. They are Elston Bernham, Lawrence Hayes, Edward Mattson, Ruth Sviebergson, and Aaino lkkela. Elston, by the way. is new at the school, but he 'is not at all bashful when it comes to playing his Trumpet. David Anthoney, the best-looking boy in the orchestra, has his face hid- den by the tuba. Tough luck girls! Kauko Kahila, a most serious chap, plays the trombone, and he certainly can slide it! Thus and so, We have learned to ap- preciate the work of the Norwood Senior High School Orchestra.

Norwood won from New Bedford, Newton, Arlington, and Boston Girls' High, and lost to Portland flVlaineJ High. Port- land High has been champion of Maine for the past two years. Girls' High had not lost a debate before ours for four years. New Bedford was the 1937 champion of the Brown University Debating League.

If Hr?-ll! ir 5: Q THIS YEAR'S CROP OF ASSEMBLIES ln the three years that I have spent in this high school, I have seen many assemblies, but l think that the rest of the seniors will agree with me when l say that this year's assemblies have been by far the most interesting. I believe we must thank Mr. Thompson for this as well as many other improvements. lVlr. Thompson has tried and evidently suc- ceeded in bringing us many interesting speakers, representing various schools, colleges, and industries. Every one has proved interesting, and we have surely reaped a wealth of information and wisdom from them. Let us review just a few of these assemblies which we have enjoyed so much this year. We all remember the chemist who set up an impromptu laboratory to demonstrate to us some of the wonders of chemistry. He also told us a great deal about artificial silk. We must recall too, lVlr. Leland Powers, who entertained us with a Shakespear- ean spene in which he portrayed three characters. l am sure we shall never forget the English professor from Clark University, who gave us several enter- taining readings, including the one about the sergeant who had a cold. There were other speakers whom we recall, who brought us serious and valuable lessons, which we shall not readily forget. However, l believe that everyone considers the most outstanding pro- gram, that which was given to us by the several members of the New Eng- land Conservatory of Music. lt was indeed surprising to discover how much the pupils of Norwood l-lighischool appreciate good music. We called the musicians back again and again, until they were literally exhausted. We just hated to see them go. We should like to take this oppor- tunity to thank Mr. Thompson for making such enjoyable assemblies pos- sible, and we are enthusiastic in our sportsmanship was reached when, as praise, Cfor the first timej we are really looking forward to those gatherings with eager anticipation. Phyllis Evans '37 36 YEAR BOOK . SENIOR CLASS NOTES During the past year, We have had a number of what have been called class meetings , The term Hmeetingsn hardly applies to those disgraceful exhibitions of bad manners, of disre- gard of authority, and of general ig- norance and lack of sportsmanship. Mr. Thompson was kind enough to give us class time to hold our first class meeting . The high water mark of poor our new Class President was introduced, a small minority, sitting near one of the defeated candidates, began to boo. The faculty advisors finally restored a sem- blance of order, so that Miss McGon- agle might report on the condition of the treasury. The next meeting was held after school. lt was for the purpose of decid- ing questions relating to that prize . JUNIOR CLASS NOTES The election of junior class officers took place on October 5, 1936. The following were elected as class officers: President .... . . Carroll Woods Vice-President . . . . Lucille Fenton Secretary .... .... F rances Richell Treasurers . . . . . . Gladys Nordstrom Gertrude Mason A. A. Council ...... Francis Quann At this meeting the following Home Room Representatives were also chosen: Leo Flaherty, Edmund Mulve- hill, Martin Lydon, Helen Pendergast, Bruno Jzdawinious, Adam Scott, john Dower, Thomas Conroy, Bernard Berg- man. Hop , the Anniversary Dance. Plans were made and committees were or- ganized. This meeting was a little quieter because the trouble-raising mi- norities were too busy to attend this meeting. Later in the fall, Mr. Butler called a meeting of all interested in having a year book. Miss Wanda Kotak was elected General Chairman. No other meeting accomplished so much in so short a time. Toward the end of the year, several meetings were held to decide on caps and gowns, the banquet, class day, and class statistics. It may be said, to the conciliation of some and the regret of others, that our class does not have the record of being the worst class yet. William Shyne '37 Mr. Thompson welcomed the juniors at their first meeting on October 21, I936. At this time Miss Grace Mc- Gonagle explained finances and the class voted a ten-cent dues each month. At the meeting on November l9, the date of the Junior Prom was dis- cussed. The date was decided upon and the Junior Prom was held January 22, I937. At a later meeting plans were con- cluded for the Junior Prom. The hall was beautifully decorated with 400 butterflies and a colored orchestra added to the enjoyment of the evening. The fiscal outcome of the Prom was not at all depressing. CLASS OF 1937 37 The question of a school or class ring was brought up. ln the choosing of the ring the following committee was chosen: Martha Taylor, john William- son, Francis Quann, Stephania Auk- stalis, Joseph Paleiko. Dorothy Franklin Q SOPI-IOMORE CLASS NOTES Lest the Sophomore class be for- gotten by their worthy brothers, we hope these few notes will help us to remember them. The first important incident was the election of class officers. The result was as follows: President ...... . . . Thomas Folan Vice President ...... Margaret Kelly Treasurer for Girls . . Patricia Patinski Treasurer for Boys .... David Butters Secretary .......... Betty Shackley A. A. Council ....... Alice O'Brien Next the Sophomore Party was ush- ered in as the High Night Club . Two comedy pantomimes were presented, followed by entertainment by members of the class. Clf all the entertainment was as good as the sample we heard, then the party was a success. Remember the Harmonica Special-Alfred john- son, Tony Capuccino, Michael Solo- monl. We also heard about the suc- cess of joseph McLean as Master of Ceremonies.

A faint smile crosses our face as we remember these days-days that seemed endless then, but now seem to have passed on wings. We entered this school as Sophomores with a look of bewilderment on our face and a troubled frown upon our brow. This all disappeared with the election of class officers. Among the many candidates, the chosen few were: President, Norman Berezing Vice President, jack Burnsg Secretary, Gladys Lindblomg Treasurers, Anne Shirley Orent and Max Lechterg and james Murphy, A. A. Council. Under the guidance of these able officers we began to make a name for 37 , The Sophomore play, A Sign Unto You , proved to the upper-classmen that some of the Sophomores were not as insignificant as they had first believed us to be. The cast, coached by Mr. Butler, included Katherine McLean, Robert Zoboli, Jack Burns, Ruth Silverman, Louise Mazzola, and George Lee. The next event was the Sophomore party, It was amid gales of laughter that we sought our friends because this was a costume party. Prizes for the best costumes were given out, and we distinctly remember Mary Hayes winning the first prize for her costume as a little girl . Many new personali- ties were discovered that night due to the entertainment which consisted of dancing, singing, and other musical arrangements. Later, refreshments were served, followed by dancing. Since this was the last social for the Sophomores, we dropped into oblivion until our entrance as Juniors in the fall. The outcome of the Junior election proved to be: President, Bernard Chubetg Vice President, joseph Pazniokasg Secretary, Katherine Mcl..eang Treasurers, Priscilla Badger and Max Lechterg A. A. Council, Gertrude Minkevitch. The first item on our social calendar was the junior Prom. The gym, which had been decorated in the class colors, was a scene of colorful gowns and gay couples dancing to the strains of Ernie C1otham's orchestra. At the end of our Junior year, we were definitely acquainted with the school and each other. We came back in September as lofty Seniors who gave sophisticated glances and wrong directions to the Sophomores. Our new principal greeted us and at' the same time made a fine impression on the whole school. It was not long before things were running smoothly under the leader- ship of President Jack Mulvehill, who was assisted by Roger Flaherty as Vice Presidentg Katherine McLean as Secretary, Priscilla Badger and Bill Shyne as Treasurersg and Clare Barron for A. A. Council, President Mulvehill suggested that we have a dance in December to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the school. Everyone that ever attended Norwood High School was invited to the dance. Many of the older graduates CLASS OF 1937 63 welcomed this chance to again visit their teachers and classmates and during the evening could be seen chatting together. The Senior Class again stepped into the spotlight, when on April 9th the play Big Hearted Herbert was presented. Honors that night went to Dorothea Duffy, Jack Hepburn, Alphonse Janavich, Thomas Hynes, Mildred Adametz, Edward Paduck, Mary Hayes, Gladys Lindblom, and several others. Many future stars will probably result from this great performance which was coached so well by Miss Gray. Breaking all tradition, we decided that our prom should be held in May instead of during the winter. As this goes to press the date is definitely set for May twenty-first. We are convinced that this prom will draw a large crowd due to the fact that it is the first spring dance ever to be given here. Committees are working hard to insure the success of it and we feel sure that each year the Senior prom will be held in the Spring due to our ingenuity. Again breaking the usual custom, we voted to wear caps and gowns for graduation. As we ponder over these events, we are sorry to think that they are over. Even though the future holds many new and exciting adventures for us, we shall never forget the days spent at Norwood High School. But now the hands of the clock in the tower show that the final hour has come, so it is with great difficulty that we close this chapter of our lives.

A H ' GD' ASS Wlll Q CLASS WILL WE, the class of l937, being physically unsound, mentally unreliable, scholastically deficient, spiritually lost, and intellectually hopeless, having reached the last days of a twelve year period prescribed by the Educational Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and having been judged, in spite of our short-comings, as being fit to depart, do hereby declare, assert, and affirm this to be our last will and testament, and do hereby declare any previous document of like nature to be null and void. WHLEREAS: All debts legally contracted by us, to-wit, class taxes, remuneration for lost books, locks, etc., having been made good to the satis- faction of the authorities, and whereas all that we have taken from the institu- tion having been returned in full to the same, we do hereby bequeath the remainder of our estate to the following in the manner as prescribed herein: Article l: To Lincoln D. Lynch, Superintendent of Schools, to the Nor- wood School Committee, to our Principal Mr. Leighton S. Thompson, and to the undergraduates, we leave our collective love and heart-felt sympathy. Article ll: To our sub-master, Mr. Charles A. Hayden, we leave a little black note-book, to replace the worn one he now carries, with the conditions that inscribed on the property described therein, is to be, in gold letters, his noble name with middle name printed in full. Article Ill: To the janitors of the buildings we leave our apologies and any initials carved throughout the building. Article IV: To the teachers of the institution, we leave our thanks, sympathy, best wishes for success in the noble cause they have devoted their lives to, and our admiration for their beautiful attitude of Christian resignation during periods of extreme emotional stress. Article V: To l-l. Bennett Murray, we leave a certificate giving him the privilege of resting during the sixth period on each Tuesday and Thursday- condition attached requiring him to devote no less than two minutes of those CLASS OF 1937 67 periods to soulful meditation on the days when his worst class roamed at large in the gymnasium. Article VI: Corporal Anthony Smith, and all responsibilities involved therein, we leave to the National Guard with recommendation that he be used for ornamental purposes only, being too valuable to risk in combat. God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts! Article VII: Elinor and Richard Adelmann's touching devotion for each other, we leave to Joseph and Veronica Riley. The court will make no official inquiry as to their behavior in their own homes. Article VIII: Thomas Flaherty's role in the senior play in which he was required to consume a pie, we leave to Uuno Hallman. Included in the property will be a season pass to the kitchen and a standing order for bicarbonate of soda. Article IX: Marie Clapp's saint-like disposition at all times, we leave to Margaret Sheehan. The court will not, in this case either, make ofhcial inquiry as to behavior in their homes. Article X: Henry DeFlaminio's devotion for Miss johngren, we leave to any freshman, or sophomore, or junior, who may pass her requirements. The court encourages any person or persons who may fail to pass aforementioned requirements, to carry on unofficially. Article Xl: Ruth Nutter's unchallenged and unequalled position in the senior class, which we make no attempt to define, we leave to Irene Costello, who from our point of observation seems a worthy successor. Article XII: Francis Barrett's never-failing entrance-gag of I come to fix the oil burner, we leave to Edmund Mulvehill or any junior who knows a girl who has to take care of a house. Article XIV: Mildred Adametz's complex for red-heads off and on the stage, we leave to the Norwood Trust Company, to be held in safety, and to be taken from its place on rare occasions, only. Article XV: Stanley Barylak's cap and 'gown which he wore on exhibition before the senior boys' sectional meeting, we leave to the Smithsonian Institute. We laughed: posterity will roar. Article XVI: Anne Shirley 0rent's political success we leave to Isabel Mutch. This added to what papa can teach Isabel, should get her to the White House before her father. Article XVII: John Moloney, and Michael McDonagh, we leave to every class up until l950 at which time they may cash in on their social security. Article XVIII: William Shyne's mathematical ingenuity we leave to the mathematics department. Added to this bequest we leave Joseph Pazniokas, for obvious reasons. Article XIX: Phyllis Evans' tap-dancing ability we leave to any junior who ain't got rhythm. Article XX: Bartley Curran's ability as an oral topic artist, we leave to Donald Alden, who recently distinguished himself in a stage production in the role of a voice off-stage. 68 YEAR BOOK Article XXI: Norman Berezin's ability to start revolutions in the orchestra everytime they had overtime, we leave to any aspiring john L. Lewis in the junior class. Article XXII: Wanda Kotak's activities on the high C's, we leave to Elizabeth Bernier: if either or both are present, will they send their A's for the records. Article XXIII: Thomas Hopkins' efficiency, so well shown in his man- agerial positions in the sports world, we leave to Roy Hanson, along with I-Ioppy's collection of rapid-fire alibis. Article XXIV: Robert I-Iolman's choice of locker-room wise cracks we leave to Thomas Conroy. He might as well have them legally, he'll steal them anyway. Article XXV: Robert O'Brien's telephone-technique, we leave to his brother Ray. The court assumes no responsibility for the O'Brien telephone bill. It must be terrific. Article XXVI: Lloyd Allan lVIurray's sheer courage in selection of shirts and ties, we also leave to Ray O'Brien. Article XXVII: jack lVIulvehill's and Richard lVIerrill's policy of one for all, and all for one, we leave to Bill Walker and Johnny Kelly. The court suggests, however, that the motto be reworded so as to read, one for me and one for you. Article XXVIII: Dorothy Sherman's little girl in a great big world appearance, we leave to Betty Schroeder. The court views with patriotic alarm the possibility of the marines ever coming up the Neponset River. Article XXIX: George Lee's talent for undercover work in class politics, we leave to james Keady. As vote-smugglers, both stand supreme. Article XXX: Anne Javasaitis' perpetual Pepsodent smile, we leave to Helen Clancy to replace the disgusted and bored expression with which she sees us fools. Article XXXI: Nancy Stones passion for variety in automobiles, we leave to Marjorie Bemis. The town of Dedham probably will not barricade Washington Street, but Norwood should have long ago. Article XXXII: Howard Blasenak's rich baritone and Henry Nordblom's basso-profundo, we leave to Terrence Barrett and Leo Bazzy. Objections to their rendering of Asleep in the Deep . Objection sustained. Article XXXIII: Charles Daly's ability to mimic foreign dialects-and one in particular-we leave to Wayne Foster. The court defends its action in its claim to diverting Foster's interest away from long automobile rides to Westwood. Article XXXIV: Arthur Early's all-round athletic ability, we leave to Howard Horton. The court will not consider any petitions to allow spats to be worn with uniforms. The beneficiary will have to remove them. Article XXXV: Jeanette Geroso's ability to get around the bases in her own quiet little way, we leave to Eloise Baker. No strikes, the bases are full. CLASS OF 1937 69 Article XXXVI: Katherine lVlcLean's efficiency as a secretary, we leave to jean Martin. Jean always wanted to take notes on people, either as a secretary or a columnist. Article XXXVII: Marion lvatts' ability to talk quite clearly with her eyes, we leave to Mary Magnani. The court is influenced by the desire to see aforementioned eyes on a brunette. Article XXXVIII: Allan Carlson's ability to wear a hat, we leave to Nor- well Bailey. Norwell looks too much like a poet. He needs Carlson's air of man-about-town . Having thus disposed of our estate, and having petitioned all those mentioned to take no offense where none was meant, we do hereby, set our hand and seal, given this eighth day of June in the Year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven. Signed: The Class of 1937 Witnessed: Roger Flaherty, '37 CLASS DAY ORATION . FOREVER FORWARD ln all the history of civilization there never was an age of greater con- venience than the present. Countless generations have built up for us a world of immeasureable ease. Discovery and invention have furnished us with comforts and luxury to an extent never before known. We can travel like the wind itself across land or sea in this modern world. Our gigantic steamers plow the waves, our automobiles and trains speed across the continents, over rivers, under rivers, above the ground and beneath the ground. Our airplanes soar above the clouds, carrying us in the air, on the water or down to the earth, just as we choose. The radio weaves its mysterious path through the ether waves, and makes it possible for us to tune in any station in the country or across the sea. But what good are all the scientific discoveries if they are to be used for new methods of warfare? What good are high powered automobiles if they are permitted to speed the kidnapper from justice? If our labor saving machines succeed only in piling up more money for the rich, instead of making every day needs cheaper for the poor, are they worth the trouble of inventing? This does not mean the possible values of these inventions have been over- loaded, lf the labor organizations incite strikes and violence instead of uniting the laborinvg classes to their own advantage, it is not the fault of the system, but the use to which it is put. Thus, all the greatest things of life can be misused and become a power for evil instead of good. 70 YEAR BOOK It is apparent that the difference between the best lives and the worst lives does not lie in the possession of certain qualities in the one, and the lack of them in the other. The difference lies in the use to which the same qualities may be put. Temper in a child is a problem, but what possibilities may be found in a tempestuous child when he has learned to control his energy. Lieing in a child is a dangerous habit, but what a brilliant future lies ahead for the imaginative child who learns to distinguish fact from fancy. Ambition, the desire to possess and surpass, to be more than other people are, has left a blood stained trail across history. However, in spite of the ruinous meaning that ambition can have, none of us who hope to amount to anything, can be without it. Surely, it is one of the most powerful driving forces of our life. Combativeness, or the urge to fight, can express itself in sheer savavgery, or it can have a meaning far beyond the realms of physical violence. Pugnacity may appear in a gunman, contentious, reckless, or it may appear in a group of scientists who are battling a plague. This same quality may cause serious injury in a fight, or it may go into a pulpit to help humanity. Thus, while all these instincts can be abused, they can also be made the most valuable part of our equipment through life. However, they must be harnessed and made to contribute to our happiness. Life is full of such challenges of this sort. Every way we turn there is a choice to be made, Let us consider the question of our leisure hours. We can make of leisure an opportunity to wake up our latent talents in art or musicg we can develop our bodies with helpful physical recreation. Or, we can litter up our minds with casual trash. ln our daily work this same situation exists. We can drag unwilling feet to our desks every morning with just as little effort and enthusiasm as possible. Or, we can tackle every task with deter- mination, and develop and strengthen our powers and thus pave our way to success. So, today we the class of 1937, are leaving to begin a new life. It is with some reluctance that we go, for the years that we have passed here are full of pleasant memories. But the thought of something greater dominates our soul, and urges us on. We shall not remember all we have learned here, but the high aims and standards we can never forget. We leave to find our adventure in the new world. If we succeed, we shall bring honor and glory to our school. If we fail, we must try again, for no great achievement was ever attained without a struggle. We have the world before us, a world moving at a faster tempo than ever before in history. Great problems are yet to be solved, new unseen and undreamed of achievements are yet to happen. lnto this unknown let us look fearlesslyg let us advance courageously with full confidence in our ability to meet every challenge, to overcome every obstacle, and to achieve ultimate success and victory. William Shyne '37 9 H 53? if il? il? 'Bib 1? Q CLASS PROP!-IECY Time: l957. Place: The News of the Nation building in Washington, D. C. Situation: The editors of the News of the Nation , Joseph Pazniokas and Dorothy McDermott, are compiling the news. joseph: Where's that reporter, Einari Kinnunen? Dorothy: l-le went out two hours ago to get some story or other and hasn't returned yet. Joseph: I'll bet he's down at the Barber and Beauty Salon which Gladys Lindblom and Nellie Glebus have recently opened. Women can do anything with Einari. Dorothy: l've noticed that ever since Clare Barron and Eva Holden opened their Hlrlapjack Diner , you've taken a sudden liking to Flapjacks. Joseph: l..et's get down to work. How is Congress getting along? Dorothy: Those Congresswomen from Massachusetts are in the lime- light again. Eleanor Adelmann, Anna Zimlicki, and Phyllis Evans are showing stubborn men like you that women can be just as good politicians as men are. Ciovernor John Mulvehill of Massachusetts says this is so. joseph: Maybe it is so, but, as the great woman philosopher, Martha Wozniak, has confessed, women must learn from men. Dorothy: Did you hear all the complimentary things Richard Merrill and Firechief James Murphy have to say about this? You must admit they know women. Joseph: Oh, they know women all right. They and Henry DeFlaminio have just formed a bachelors' club. , Dorothy: We're neglecting our work again. l-lere's another item for the first page: Alice Feaver has recently been appointed president of Wellesley College. CLASS- OF 1937 71 72 YEAR BOOK -Ioseph: And this item about the Army and Navy maneuvers is inter- esting. Here are pictures of Lieutenant Anthony Smith, of the Army, Francis Massey of the Navy, and Harold Johnson of the Air Fleet. Dorothy: Anthony looks very handsome in that cute little mustache. Joseph: Another army ofhcer, William Shyne, has completed important researches in chemistry and has announced the discovery of a new war gas. The gas is harmless but makes the soldiers wish they had stayed at home. Shyne is the leader of the famous Science Trio, the other members of which are: William Chase, the entomologist, and James Lynch, the physicist. Most of their researches are financed by Thomas Thornton, the famous philan- thropist. And here is more news from Massachusetts. The new Warner Bros. picture, Meet the Husband , starring Dorothea Duffy and Jack Hepburn, has not been allowed in Massachusetts on account of the violent language it contains. The censorship is due largely to an appeal by the Rev. Roger P. Flaherty and the state censor, Robert Holman. The latter was so shocked at the picture that he got up and walked out. Dorothy: And here is a picture of the Rev. Roger P. Flaherty himself, with two of the parish Sunday School teachers, Mr. Ralph Surrette and Mr. Philip McKeown. It seems that Massachusetts is beginning to produce the greatest movie Stars now. ln addition to Dorothea Duffy and Jack Hepburn, there is Louise Mazzola, who started by making Betty Boop pictures. Mary Hayes is her maid on and off the screen. Then there are Alphonse Janavich, who is now in the position left vacant by Clark Gable and Robert Taylor, and Dorothy Sherman, who started as a chorus girl. Joseph: Enough for Hollywood. l wonder if we shall have room for this account of the Nelson-Ross Circus and Carnival. l saw it and l know it's worth seeing. Dorothy: l saw it too. Strange to say, the Norwoodites again seem to be the chief stars: Dorothy Franklin, Louise Balboni, and Joe Billotta are the motorcycle stars, and Kitty Folan is the great auto racer. Outside the Side Show tent was Frank Barrett, yelling till the tents quivered. There were other Norwoodites whom l cannot remember. joseph: Well, Marty Kelly sold tickets, Harold Margeson made the posters, Fred Grosso and George Tomm fed the animals, and Everett Pyne sold balloons. That's about all. Dorothy: The animal trainer looked familiar. joseph: Oh, yes! That was Dick Adelmann. l..et's take the radio page next. Dorothy: The famous radio comedian, Tom Hopkins, has a new sponsor, Romeo Valero, president of the Dodo l..ollypop Firm. The former sponsor was Kathryn Saulen of the Lady Saulen Face Powder Co. The program is ex- CLASS OF 1937 73 tended to a full hour and has many new personalities: master of ceremonies. Thomas Flaherty: Norman Berezin's swing orchestra: including the Mad Drummers , Katherine lVlcLean and Robert Zobolig the vocal harmonizing duet, Charles Jones and Henry Nordblomg the tap-dancer, Lena Jankoski, who taps on the table with a pair of shoes on her hands: the cowgirl yodellers, Angelina Lorusso and Barbara Marvasg that master of dialect, Stanley Barylak and the torch and blues singers, Caroline Tomm, Sadie Thomas, and Sarah Kelley. Martin Barylak sits with the orchestra and is paid five dollars a laugh. joseph: ln the field of music, too, Norwood has furnished many celeb- rities. ln opera there are Wanda Kotak, Ellen Welch, and Howard Blasenak. Lillian Karki and Jeanette Gerosso are with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. and Elizabeth Clancy, the famous pianist, is giving lessons. Dorothy: Next comes the sport page. Sports writer Arthur Early and sports cartoonist Vincent King do a good job on it. joseph: Edward Smith and Edward Wenzel, the heads of a great athletic association, are certain that their club basketball team will be undefeated this year. The coach is Neal Coughlin, and the star players are Ernest Gustafson and Ensio Hurma. Dorothy: The Clympic Team is celebrating the success of the latest Olympic meet. The stars are Chfarles Diggs, runner: John Donnell, wrestler: Dorothy Heikkila, skater: and Anne Mike and Helen Simaski, the fastest women runners in the country. Several former Norwood athletes are touring the country. Among these are Gertude Minkevitch, captain of the National Women's Champion Basket- ball Teamg Ann Javasaitis, tennis star: Sammy Thompson, golf champ: and Edward Trusevitch, ping-pong star. joseph: Peter Amirault is the star of the Red Sox Team. l don't know what this is doing on the sport page, but Bob Plummer, checker champ, and Ralph Conrad, chess amateur, are playing exhibition games in Boston. l wonder who taught Ralph how to play chess. l never could. ' Dorothy: Now for the Society Page. joseph: Goody! Goody! Dorothy: First we have that popular three: Nancy Stone, the fastest driver in society, Ruth Nutter, the most typical of true femininity: and Anne Orent, the most sociable. joseph: What have we about men? Ah! Mr. Ernest Muehlberger enter- tained his friends Allen Carlson, playboy, and Mr. Joseph Gallagher, at after- noon tea. Dorothy: A few of our former school friends are celebrating wedding anniversaries this month. For example, Mrs. Woodman,- ' Joseph: l..et's have the maiden names, please, Dorothy: Mildred Adametz, Marion lvatts, Leah Heikkinen, and Jack Bayer. 74 YEAR BOOK joseph: That reminds me. Barbara Keady and Emma Padduck are enjoy- ing life as nuns. Dorothy: l-lere's another article, Stella O'Kulovitch, tap dancer, is performing for charity at the Palace. And speaking of the Palace reminds me that Thomas Hynes is a publicity agent for the Guild Theatre in Norwood. joseph: l really must go to see Mr. Edward Padduck one of these days. l-le is conducting a dancing school in Boston. l-lis rival, Alfred DeFlaminis, recently won a cup for dancing. Dorothy: l know you won't be interested, but here are some facts about feminine school friends of ours: Anne O'To0le, head of the Red Cross, has just returned from Geneva: Jean Adamonis, Priscilla Badger, and Clare Har- rington are touring the country, lecturing on the value of education: Mary Dwane is exploring the wilds of Africa. A new record was almost established by Margaret Gilson, noted aviatrix, in her round-the-world flight. Another aviatrix is Beatrice Johnson, who has just Hown to the South Sea isles with her boy friend. joseph: Now here is an article worth reading. Mr, Nicholas Mike enter- tained his friend John Zabrowski at luncheon at his home, the Chateau of Blois. Also present was Prince Phillip Anderson. Dorothy: That is all there is of importance on the society page. Next we have two whole pages on Interesting People . First there is Lloyd Murray, who edits the puzzle page in a teachers' magazine, and still keeps the pedagogues puzzled. joseph: That reminds me of another columnist-Leon Rasanen, who writes for a menis magazine. His article is How to Be Charming . Dorothy: Several teachers and professors have developed from the class of l937. For instance, Mr. John Burns is now a teacher of languages, and Miss Anne Medvesky is a teacher of history-both in Norwood High School. Miss Edna Laffey teaches stenography at Burdett College, Miss Amelia Stankie- wicz teaches in grammar school, and Miss Geraldine Henry conducts kinder- garten classes, Joseph: Don't forget Mr. Charles Daly, He is now president of Morse l-lill Prep. Dorothy: That ingenious mathematician, Mr. George Lee, said that if all the teachers were laid end to end across the Atlantic Ocean,- joseph: l've been thinking of that myself, but l've lost hope. How did you enjoy your vacation? Dorothy: l visited Massachusetts and found many of our old classmates there. When my car broke down, Roy Johnson came along and had it fixed in a jiffy. l-le still drives around in an old i939 model. Did you know that we have six engineers from our class? Neimo Lammi is a civil engineer, Frederick Frueh is a radio engineer, Bernard Chubet and Joseph Burnham are engineers in a dye factory and cotton mill respectively, and Joseph Ros- CLASS OF 1937 75 lauskas and John Kelley are engineers with the New York, New Haven and Hartford R. R. Joseph: l traveled through the central states during my vacation. Out in Missouri l met Bernard Cornelia, who is now a successful farmer. l stepped into a lunch room for a glass of milk and found that the proprietor was Robert O'Brien. He entertained his customers by reciting selections from Cicero and Virgil. Other successful business men are Bartley Curran and Max Lechter, who are now prosperous merchants. And that reminds me-where are the business women you prophesied would develop from our class? Dorothy. They're all over the country. Ann Kodis, for example, owns a Dress Shoppe in New England. The designer is Dorothy Tweddle and the mannikins are Louise Drummey, Helen Bowles, and Joan Kelley. Her chief competitors are Ruth Reynolds and Bronsie Rudvilovitch and there is Rita Monbouquette who works in a panic. joseph: Let's finish these pages on Interesting People . Dorothy: You asked for business women, and you'll get them. Next there are those inseparable two-Virginia Dauderis and Elsie Daniels, who work in the Municipal Building in Norwood. With them work Barbara Stonis and Grace Elisher. And you know the four girls who forgot their shyness and became traveling saleswomen: Mary Devine, Lucy Dowidauskas, Hazel Burton and Minnie Braverman. Joseph: l ought to know them! They sold me a carload of toys and were gone before l could say a word. Now l suppose l'll have to get married after all, Dorothy: You shouldn't worry. Marie Curran and Mary Margaret Flaherty are good nurses: and Ellen Jacobsen is a good maid. And you may be interested to know that Mary Russetti is an heiress. Joseph: You forget that we haven't finished this page on Interesting People yet. Let's see now: John Ruggiero is making use of the experience he gained while delivering papers. l'le's a milkman now. i Dorothy: And here's a picture of Olive Boyd climbing an electric pole. She's a fine electrician. Joseph: So are William Cobb and William Harding: only they don't climb poles. Cobb lives in Walpole now. Dorothy: l saw Mary Lydon, who is looking for a job. She says that Ruth Boulis, Mary Ellen Flaherty, and Julia Notarangelo, have been hired by Bird 6: Son. Joseph: l hope Mary Lydon finds a position. l'm not so well-off myself since that vacation. l had to resort to the pawn shop at the corner. The pawn broker is Thomas Millin. l had to buy groceries from the town grocer, Henry Uservitchf, on the cuff . Dorothy: Some more of the Interesting People are the air hostesses, Ann Lindfors and Dorothy O'Kane. The latter is very popular with the 76 YEAR BOOK passengers, because she can calm the children by drawing pictures for them. And three telephone operators, Marie Clpp, Helen Sanbom, and Jennie Starta, make extra money by telling bed time stories over the telephone. Helen Treciokas, as a leisure time leader, has helped to make life more pleas- ant for most people in Massachusetts. Joseph: l was in Norwood just last week, so l'll write an article of my own on pleasing Personalities . A popular hostess in the great Norwood Hotel is Helen Costello, who has done much to make the first great hotel in the town a success. Another successful woman is Anna Radzwill, who used to be a companion to a millionaire's wife. Dorothy: Did you stop at Mae O'Leary's hot dog stand on the state highway? She makes the most delicious hot dogs l've ever tasted. joseph: l once stopped there a little before midnight. l saw Ellen Torpey come in with a load of luggage. She was eloping. Dorothy: Einari just came in and he said that he saw Priscilla Atwood. She is a great eye specialist, you know.-Where are you going? joseph: lll have to have my eyes examined. They've been sore for a week. What do you think of this paper? Dorothy: lt's the greatest issue we've put out yet. This will convince Mr. l-layden that our class is a success, after all. Joseph: l hope so. joseph Pazniokas '37 Dorothy McDermott '37 CLASS OF 1937 77 any gf EWU A stranger at crossroads store- Who's the close-mouthed fellow over in the corner? l-'le hasn't spoken a word for the last I5 minutes.

RILEY cLAss OF '24 IXIRUNIII UI R XIJXIIIVII lull To the Graduating Class of 1937 It is customary for the graduating class to be the recipient of advice from all angles. Unfortunately, it isn't given to most of us to appreciate the golden value of advice. We seem to learn only from the- bitter lesson of experience, regretting in later years the folly of disregarded advice that may have prevented untold heart-ache. Be that as it mayg here is our advice to those of you who may care to read itg to those who don't, well . . . the waste-baske-t can't be far away. Admittedly, it may have a trace of selfishness in it, for after all, we have an axe' to grind. Forgetting that for the moment . . . a great philosopher once said that the essentials of life are: food, shelter and, clothing. Our advice is authentically concerned with the latter. To be successful, one must also look the partg perhaps we should say, dress the part. It is generally conceded by recognized authorities, that clothes not only make the man but they play an important part in this great struggle for existence . The knowledge that you are correctly groomed creates a feeling of self confidence and assurance. It likewise creates a favorable impression . . . let us say, a prospective employer . . . or customer. The art of dressing is one that cannot be minimizedg it requires the same amount of study that is necessary in the pursuance of the other arts. The danger of ove-r-dressing . . . wrong ensembles . . . wrong color schemes present ever-present pitfalls. ln Father's generation it was a ritual to keep the shoes shined and the hair combedg but in this era of a style conscious world, this is hardly enough. May we be allowed to add to our sincere congratulations the thought that we can help you materially in laying the ground-work for this important art ? Sincerely yours, ORENT BROTHERS, Inc.
