Myers t ecurity is mortals' chiefest enemy, croaked Hecate, plotting the downfall of Macbeth. The old witch had reasoned rightly, too, for Macbeth's feeling of false security was to cause him to forget that he must ever be on guard lest his dearest treasure, his power, be taken from him, and consequently he lost that power. Yet people everywhere in our country today are seeking security, even demanding it, from the government, forgetting always that with that security they may lose their most prized possession, their libertyg that freedom may slip away while they devote themselves to the search for security. Liberty and security walk different roads and lead to opposite goals. As our security increases, ac- cordingly will our liberty decrease. From the seventeenth to middle nineteenth century, freedom, not security was the keynote of American life. The Pilgrims left the security of their homes and hearths in England, seeking greater freedom, and when they touched the shores of New England, they brought more to America than ships and supplies and men. They brought an ideal -- an ideal of freedom. America grew and flourished in that ideal. In 1775 an ill-trained group of soldiers fought for it, daring the strength and might of England, risking their positions, their homes, their lives, for their liberty. America became a country of freedom-freedom of the press, of speech, of endeavour. In America a man was free to try and fail, as well as to succeed. Americans believed it was the right and duty of every man to shape his life for himself. In 1838, in the midst of a growing movement westward, the editor of the New York Sun remarked, Boys and men are educated in the belief that every man must be the architect of his own fortune. The true American neither sought, nor desired, security. As Kipling wrote of him, He greets th' embarrassed Gods, nor fears To shake the iron hand of Fate Or match with Destiny for beers. Immediately after the Revolutionary War, the United States was torn by a period of turbulence and agitation. It was a time of economic, political, and social instability, which affected all classes, rich and poor. Only one group re- mained unshaken by the tumult of the nation. The slaves, submerged, as james Truslow Adams says, at the bottom of society, were undisturbed and uninterest- ed in the state of the nation. They were secure, working, sleeping, eating, as their masters commanded. When Lincoln freed the slaves by the Emmancipation Proclamation, they were indecisive, unreliable, bewildered by their liberty. Security had weakened them, made them dependent, unable to think and work for themselves. It took many years for the slaves to comprehend and appreciate their freedom fully, so far had they walked along the diverse path of security. In 1931, in the deepening depression, there was a widespread cry for more security. Matthew Woll, acting president of the National Civic Federation, echo- ed the thoughts of thousands when he issued a plea for permanent security for the nation. Charles Beard, in America in Mid-Passage, notes, That America 76 must 'face the future' with rational plans for social security was a widespread con- viction, the need for which was proclaimed in the pulpit, on the platform, in gatherings of 'experts', from business and professional forums, in conventions of the people, in the press. Due to such fervent national opinion, plans and laws for greater security went into effect. A policy of intervention by the government seemed to take the place of free enterprise. The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 193 3 endeavoured to raise the price of basic agricultural commodities by dimin- ishing production and controlling market operations. In 1936 justice Roberts of the Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional on the ground that it was the right of the state, not of Congress, to regulate agriculture in the state. In trying to give security, Congress had overstepped the Constitution, the protection of our democracy. In 1934 the Cotton Control Act limited the amount of produc- tion of cotton in order to help the hardpressed farmer. Both of these acts, in attempting to render the people more secure, had rendered the government more powerful. Each was a step toward greater security, less liberty. Complete security can be granted only in a dictatorship. It can be gained through the interposition of the government in all fields of endeavour, and the re- moval of freedom of enterprise, both of which would destroy the very roots of democracy. The citizens of Russia, Italy, and Germany have far more economic security than the people of the United States. Yet George Counts points out, Although the ultimate course of Fascism defies prediction, and although a regime of 'law and order' has been indubitably established, there is every reason for be- lieving that Italian business men have been profoundly disillusioned and would give much to restore that freedom of enterprise which the Fascist State has des- troyed. In demanding one's liberty, security asks too high a price. Yet all men need some security. They should feel secure that in their country they will have the right to work and to succeed. Men must realize, however, the profound truth which Emerson advanced when he wrote, No kernel of nourish- ing corn can come to him fmanl but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. A true American should till his oppor- tunitiesg he should challenge the Fates, hoping for the success of his endeavour, and if he fails, with fearless optimism and unflinching perseverance he himself should rebuild his world, without demanding or desiring the interference of the government. Because the great men who did the most to shape our democracy believed in men's own efforts for success, they wrote into the Constitution that every man has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Washing- ton, Madison, and Adams guaranteed the right to pursue happiness, not to acquire it. Security should not be a leading figure on the American stage. It is not in the American heritage, nor is it a part of the American dream, the dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with op- portunities for each, according to his ability or achievement. America is a young nation, and, like youth, should be brave and eager and daring. Let us preserve the American ideal of freedom, and let us fulfill the American dream by giving the opportunity to man, not the achievement. Sail, sail thy best, ship of Democracy, Of value is thy freight, 'tis not the Present only, The Past is also stored in thee ...... 77 S uglw .-3 JA,1.,i I , muy 1 ,,.. un , 324041 0 A ai- ' 'W SS . we' x aa! f 45'1 Nw 5, , , Q n......9 I gm X, -. .- ,fm ,iv uv' ww we , x, -- N, Q fil- :,f ,Ss , ,w B-,I Jw, ,S , - is.. History of the Class of 1940 N irretrievable loss was suffered by the junior high schools of Pittsfield one beautiful day in june, 193 7, for it was at that time that the Class of '40 moved toward its new home, the million-dollar high school. But it was not until a marvelous ten-week vacation was succeeded by a delightfully cool, invigorating September that that memorable class of brilliant students, with radiance beaming from their faces, with chests swelled to the limit, with shoulders straightened - and with quaking hearts - marched up the wide staircase and entered the portals of Pittsfield High School. Immediately there was a tragic, amazing transforma- tion. The former lords of the junior high school succumbed to the trembling in their hearts. just a number of meek, insignificant sophies huddled together in that large auditorium, awaiting their instructions. With watering mouths the hungry juniors and seniors had looked forward to this day. This was their day, and they immediately took advantage of their supposed superiority. They scoffed at the very apparent bewilderment of the newcomers. And when the trusting youngsters who made up the sophomore class asked the upperclassmen for directions, you can well imagine what happened. However, as the noble juniors and wise seniors gradually came to realize and appreciate the abilities of our illustrious class - for, incredible as it may seem, this is a portrayal of our class - the scoffing and teasing ceased. With notice- able sighs of relief we settled down to enjoy the many opportunities that the school offered. Our activities were diversified indeed. Several of our classmates found room for themselves in the many athletic projects open to them. Others of us flocked to the Debating and Glee Clubs, the staff of The Student's Pen , and the newly organized Motion Picture Club. No matter what our individual talents, we found that there were clubs and activities for everyone. Time passed quickly, so quickly, indeed, that it was not long before the budding of trees and the twittering of birds heralded the coming of spring. Spring fever was upon us, and rare was the sophie who could shake off the inertia that benumhed his senses as the spring term slipped away. Thus, almost without the sophs' realizing it, the days ofjune, 1938, became history. Suddenly it dawned upon us that no longer would we be associated with the lowly worm - not at all - now we would be the monarchs of all we surveyed fexcept seniorsj. Elevated to dignified rank, the following autumn we returned to P. H. S. as juniors. Our most pressing and serious task was carried out when we elected class officers. john Grady was elected president. Robert Wood became first vice-president, Delores Dondi, second vice-president, Barbara Myers, secretary, and Mary Ann Carnevale, treasurer. At the same time, Mr. james A. Conroy was chosen class adviser. Soon after the election of officers we agreed upon monthly dues of twenty-five cents. No doubt it was our eagerness to cooperate which prompted us all Csome of us, anywayl to pay those dues regularly. 79 At this time a very heated argument in the Debating Club kindled the spark of student self government in the school. There followed articles on the subject in both The Student's Pen and the local paper. Needless to say, the leaders of this idea are to be found in our ranks. As yet, however, student government has not passed beyond the consideration stage. During the winter of 1958 and 1939 two clubs were formed which have since been exceedingly popular and active. To further their knowledge and enjoyment of the king of hobbies , several of our number turned to the Stamp Club. Stu- dents with an interest in all phases of radio technique were invited to join the Radio Guild. Besides the organization of these clubs, two other very noteworthy events took place. One was the voluntary construction of a good hockey rink by boys interested in the sport. This was at once hailed as a laudable achievement and a remarkable credit to our school spirit. The other event was a contest spon- sored by the school in search of an Alma Mater Song. Over five hundred students entered the contest and submitted praiseworthy contributions. The job ofthe music department and the teachers chosen to judge the winners was far from easy. Although the winner, chosen after much deliberation, was a senior, the two entries next in line were composed by members of our class. For several weeks previous to the well-remembered evening of May 20, 1939, it would have been difficult to convince a casual observer that we were not prepar- ing for Baby Day but for thejunior Prom. As we had dedicated that gala occa- sion to the child-like sophomores, dolls, doll carriages, kiddy cars, and other toys were the theme of our Prom decorations. When the evening finally came, the affair was certainly a credit to all the Prom committees. The evening was not only successful, it was refreshingly unique and picturesque. The reaction of the sophs? They were thrilled when they feasted their eyes on the numerous toys. And perhaps even more interesting than the toys were the cleverly designed posters depicting many well-known nursery rhymes! The Prom represented our class's greatest effort and crowning achievement in its junior year. It practically ushered us into the twelfth grade. And did we take advantage of our ascendency when we returned to school! We were no longer mere students, now we were seniors, and we demanded fof the other students onlyj that we be treated like the nobility of which we fancied ourselves members. The novelty was shortlived, however, and once again we resumed our studies in earnest. Our class activities began to function more normally. Almost unanimously we re-elected our class officers, various committees were chosen, and the ponderous wheels of the biggest event of our senior year slowly began to turn. ,.i...-1...-.-i-.. Our senior year was crowded with noteworthy events, and at least one of them is quite interesting in that it brought the European War and its effect upon world trade much closer to us than we might have anticipated. The company from which we bought our rings encountered considerable difficulty when it found that the blockade of Germany had efficiently closed the ports of that country, whence came the stones for our rings. The company was forced to turn to the very 80 limited supply of stones which existed in this country. For a time, it appeared as though the concern would be unable to fulfill its orders: fortunately, however, the supply in this country was adequate. And again, with a wary glance at Europe where ism's were all the rage this year, it was not surpris-ing to find that our class was definitely in style, sporting an ism -Foochism. In the fall a certain group of seniors introduced Foochism into our daily life. The Foochist Party origin- ated in an aspiring history class, where it stood for absolutely nothing-and made a great fuss accomplishing just that. In the meantime, under the very capable direction of our musical supervisor, Mr. F. Carl Gorman, the tryouts for The Mikado leads and the choruses were being held. As the wheels picked up momentum, the production rapidly took form. By the end ofjanuary all was in readiness for the first public performance. About one thousand people entered the auditorium that first evening, expecting to see an amateur performance. To their surprise, from the very first chords intro- ducing the Gentlemen ofjapan to the jubilance of the closing bars, the audience sat spellbound. The colorful costumes and stage setting, plus a first class per- formance that was rated as comparable to professional productions, drew a capacity audience the following evening. Public testimony and newspaper write- ups were both very generous with praise. Our operetta was a startling success. It will certainly be classed among the most successful of all productions ever staged by a Pittsfield High School class. Our banquet, no doubt, will be just as successful as was the operetta. Follow- ing the banquet comes the most thrilling, the most momentous day of our twelve years of schooling - Graduation Day. For many of us that day will signify our first strides toward meeting life's inescapable challenge. Eventually we shall all have to meet it. We must be victorious! We shall not fail! 81 f ff 5 MWA W Ti! fff 3 xx grew if V -iii! 1 'V MEWIOHIA Sv'-NQ YW 5 3 Mfmbaaiafmiwms ap ,i v Our .Cast Will cmd Testament NOW ye that we, the Class of 1940, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, but mindful of the uncertainty of life, do make this our last will and testament.

To the junior Class - we leave the record of two previous class operettas, Pinafore by the class of 1939 and The Mikado by our class, that they may equal the success of these productions. To Miss Morris - we leave a class comprised entirely of ladies and gentle- men. To Mr. Murray - we leave some cages in which to isolate the popular traffic officers. To Miss Parker - we leave girls whose conduct will be such that they will not be habitually frequenting her office. To Mr. Carey - we leave the hope that his very satisfactory golf game will improve with the years. To Mr. McKenna - we leave a pennant for the Red Sox. To Miss Prediger - we leave a studious, serious-minded history class that will be ever eager for new knowledge. To the rest of the faculty - we leave sincere thanks for their efforts in impart- ing to us their very useful teachings.

Because there were numerous opportunities in Pittsfield's industries for skilled and semi-skilled mechanics and because there had hitherto been no such course available in this city, a Machine Shop course was established in this school. It was realized through the efforts of our vice-principal, Mr. john Moran, and through the gener- ous cooperation of the local industries. This year marks the graduation of the first class to have completed this course. The boys in the class may be justly proud of their achievements. They have set a precedent that will, no doubt, result in the competent filling of many positions in local industry by workers well-versed in the knowledge of machinery. Also, they have behind them a well-rounded education in science, mathematics, and drawing, all relative to their work, and a competent knowledge of English, hygiene, and safety instruction. They are prepared to step into vacancies and be- gin to earn a respectable living. Those of us who have taken the more familiar courses, and who have been inclined to grumble over our home work might be interested to learn that the Machine Shop course requires even more hours of studious effort. This de- partment requires a seven-hour working day, half of the boys' time being spent in the class room studying the subjects above mentioned and the other half in the shop in actual practice with the machines with which they work after graduation. The writer was much surprised to learn of the completeness of the equipment used in this department. The machinery is operated under the instruction and supervision of Mr. Edward McLaughlin. The mathematics and drawing courses are under the capable guidance of Mr. William Monks. In addition to these activities many boys participate in various school sports and serve on several committees. The results derived from this course are very encouraging. As this article is written, sixteen of the twenty-six boys graduating have received positions in Pittsfield, earning an average wage of fifty cents an hour. Their work is regarded as completely satisfactory by their employers. It is easily seen that the Machine Department and the opportunities offered by it present themselves as decided assets to the community, benefiting not only those taking the course but those industrialists to whom the boys will come as prospective employees. 93 Honory, Pro Merzro and Spend!

Myers Rennsalaer Polytechnic Institute Medal for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Bruce D. Hainsworth Washington-Franklin Medal for Excellence in History George Walsh The Mikado N THE eventful nights of February first and second, the curtain rose upon our class presentation of that immortal Gilbert and Sullivan production, The Mikado. A great hush fell over the audienceg the overhead lights were dimmed, and the orchestra pit assumed an eerie glow as small lights flickered on here and there. Now the silhouette of the conductor drew applause as The Mikado was about to make its premier appearance. Behind the scenes, silk-clad orientals, rustling softly back and forth and whispering in subdued tones, were almost strangled by an overpowering sense of nervousness. But after the curtain went up and the familiar music began, each actor felt relievedg the preceding months of rehearsal imparted a sense of confidence to everyone, and Mr. Gorman's white hands, although somewhat blurred and indistinct through the glare of the foot- lights, signalled every note from the blackness of the pit and inspired everyone with an assurance that nothing could go wrong. Then it was with joy that every- one sang and danced, putting every ounce of concentration and effort into his part. Cynthia Scribner as Yum Yum and Bruce Miller as Nanki-Poo delightfully supplied the romantic interest, while Pam Walker and Don Lucier as Katisha and Ko-Ko, both with a sense of humor almost equal to that of Gilbert himself, kept everyone in gales of laughter. Gordon Almstead presented the wily Pish-Tush to perfection, and Bob Finnegan made a marvelous Pooh-Bah - so very, very haughty was he. As Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, Gerry Seagrave and Ruthjansen were two of the most adorable little maids ever, and as for the Mikado, Basil jones was every inch an emperor. Both ofthe choruses were excellent in their support- ing work, and the orchestra was superb. 96 Despite the painstaking work on the part of Mr. Gorman rehearsing the cast and orchestra, and Virginia Amerio's untiring efforts as accompanist, the opera would not have been nearly the success it was had it not been for the hard working committees:-William Pierson, General Chairman, who ably directed his capable chairmen, Ben Monk, whose committee handled the publicity, Milton Bass, whose group sold the tickets, Ruth Bassett and Roger Shelton, who directed the Program Committee, Silvio Conti, whose committee assisted behind scenes during the per- formance, and Fred Sillars and Helen Hoctor, who headed the indespensable doormen and ushers. And then there were our artists, who submitted striking paintings and drawings, and the many members of the faculty who helped make the production a success. There is always a great deal of satisfaction in accomplishing a difficult task well, and Mr. Gorman and all those who took part in the presentation may indeed feel proud of themselves. It was an experience which will live forever in the mem- ories of us all and create a warm feeling in our hearts for P.H.S. in the years to come.

Football HE 1939 football season dawned with high hopes in the minds of both the students and the team. This enthusiasm was heightened by the fact that the team was outfitted in new uniforms and was to play its home games on the new Dorothy Deming Field, with its splendid playing surface and extensive seating capacity. We opened a strenuous schedule against a superior Greenfield eleven, and our inexperienced forces suffered a 20-0 setback. At Springfield the Tech Tigers avenged the defeat that they had experienced here last year, turning back our boys by the score of 14-7. Returning to the home field, Pittsfield played host to a smooth-functioning Agawam aggregation. Due largely to the power of their back, Pisano, Agawam rolled up 20 points to our 6. Adams High then came to Pittsfield, and despite a sixty-three yard touchdown jaunt made from a kick formation by Grady, the North Berkshire team was victorious by a 7-6 margin. The Purple next invaded Noel Field in North Adams, where it held Drury to a scoreless deadlock. In the following game, before Albany Academy could ring up their fourteen points, Simeno caught a pass and ran some distance for our only score. On the Saturday following Armistice Day instead of on the traditional Thanksgiving Day, we clashed with St.joseph's High. A huge crowd witnessed the defeat of the favored Saints at the hands of our determined eleven. Our aerial attack clicked, with Mitchell scoring twice on passes from Grady. The final score stood at 14-7. P.H.S. had completed an unusually poor season. Nevertheless, we must re- member the sportsmanship and continued effort on the part of our boys. john Grady, our triple-threat quarter-back, and Twining, Captain Roche, and Mitchell deserve much praise for their fine work. 101 BASKETBALL TEAM First Row: Varney, Rosanski, LiMardi, Hopkins, Masterson, Flossic.

Next, Adams fell before our boys, losing a hard-fought battle by a 29-2 1 score. After defeating Lenox 4 1-29, the Purple, led by a barrage of baskets from our two lanky forwards, McGill and Moynihan, overwhelmed Dalton 45-19. Williamstown proved more difficult, but succumbed finally 37-32. The Stewart- men continued to win, beating St.-Ioseph's of North Adams 3 1-27 and Bennington 31-25. However, our winning streak was broken in the first game of the City Series when St.,Ioe won 25-16. Then, a smooth Drury quintet nosed out our team 32-29. After losing an exhibition game with Searles 27-2 1, we suffered a defeat at the hands of two spirited North Berkshire teams, St. joseph's of North Adams setting us back 26-21, and Williamstown trouncing us 30-28 in a thrilling over- time game. Next on the slate was Drury. The Tunnel City boys stopped our quintet again, this time 46-29. The defeat suffered by Bennington at our hands earlier in the season was avenged as the Vermonters romped to a 45-31 victory. Following a 27-20 loss to Adams, Pittsfield regained the win column when they overcame Dalton 45-31. Our underdog but determined team again met St. joe., the undefeated leaders of the North Berkshire league, and as a result of a grand display of team work, highlighted by a brilliant exhibition by joe McGill, they emerged victorious with a slim margin of 30-29. In the third and deciding game of the series, however, St. joe came back strongly to win the city title 23-15. So ended an entertaining, if not spectacular, season. The team was made up of the two consistently high-scoring forwards, joe McGill and Captain Frank Moynihang the dependable guards Iohnny Grady and Gene Quirky and center, Carl Heidel.

Carry. 10 H ockey FTER only two days of practice the Pittsfield hockey squad journeyed to Springfield, where they were trounced 15-1 by an experienced Cathedral sextet led by the versatile Angelo Bertelli. Some much needed practice before the second game, however, enabled the team to blank the Albany Academy jay- vees 3-0. Holyoke then stopped us 2-1. After beating Philip Schuyler High School of Albany 4-1, the squad turned in another victory over the Albany Acad- emy Jayvees by the same score as the first game, 5-0. We next dropped a 4-3 overtime game to Darrow. Berkshire Industrial School proved an easy victim succumbing 6-0. In the following game, Holyoke repeated their earlier win by holding us scoreless while they pushed over three goals. The final game of the season took the form of a victory over LaSalle 2-1. The consistently fine work of Roche, Olinto, Kellar, and Smith, to name a few, was a big factor in increasing the popularity of hockey among the other sports in Pittsfield High School. Ski Club UCH interest has been shown among students in the increasingly popular sport of skiing. For the second consecutive year a large ski club was organ- ized under guidance of Mr. john Leahy. From this club a team was chosen to represent the school in inter-scholastic contests. Captained by William Eckerson, the team included Robert johnson, Wesley Ashley, Richard Pomeroy, and Albert Polito, president of the club. The first meet, in which several schools participated, was held at the Pitts- field State Forest. The Pittsfield A team emerged with top honors. The out- standing performer was Captain Eckerson, who carried off individual laurels. As a result of this victory the school was presented a plaque by the Greylock Ski Club. The weather permitted only two more meets, which were taken by Adams High and Berkshire School. Besides participating in these three competitive meets, the entire club spent many enjoyable hours on the well covered slopes and trails of Berkshire County. 105 fPboto by Henzell THE TEAM Back Row: Coach Stewart, Thomas Reed, Carl Peer, Robert Davis, Fritz Adler, Mgr.

Front Row: William King, Warren Tucker, Richard Andrews, Matthew Rozanski, Robert Cranston, Venus Surowiec, Anthony Procopio. 106 Baseball ith a squad composed of several veterans and some likely new material, it is certain that this year's baseball nine will be highly successful. Out of approximately eighty candidates a competent team has been chosen to represent Pittsfield High on the diamond. Catcher Earl Turner, a promising junior, will be on the receiving end of Carl Heidel and Captain Simeno's expert pitches. Dick Andrew will be on first, Buddy Francis on second, joe McGill at short-stop, and Gene Quirk on third. The outfielders will be Procopio in right field, Surowiec in center, and Caliento 1940's Stars in left. The list is augmented by several capable substitutes.

Almon Roche-This year's versatile football captain also participated in baseball and hockey. john Simeno-john captained our baseball team and played football. William Eckerson-Bill was an excellent ski team captain. Eugene Quirk-He played baseball and was a guard on the basketball squad. joseph McGill-joe was equally capable in baseball and basketball. Sylvio Conti-This fleet runner captained the track team. Edward Kellar-Hockey and football were the two sports played by Ed. Frank Moynihan-Frank was basketball captain and the team's high scorer. john Bence-johnny played on the football team and was active in the gym. George Mitchell-This track man used his speed equally well in football. Russell Twining-He was a dependable guard on our football squad. Albert Polito-Al was president of the ski club. john Massimiano-The kicking done by this center was a big asset to the the football team. joseph Mele-Joe did fine work in football and basketball. 107 Track s this is written the prospects for the track season appear bright. Several of last year's men answered Coach Carmody's call for candidates along with a large group of promising newcomers. The only source of difficulty lies in the fact that Captain Sylvio Conti will probably be out for part of the season because of a knee ailment. The team should prove strong with the experienced Raymond Sawyer running the mile and Bill Pierson on the half-mile. The 440, usually run by Conti, will be taken care of by Dick Sabin. Everett Gleason and Frank Limardi are good material for the 220 and 100 yard dashes. The broadjump will have likely candidates in Edward Germanowski, Sam Arena, and Leland Grady. Grady and William MacHaffie will also be out as high jumpers. Everett Tatro is a promising man for the pole-vault. The weight-men will probably be Richard LaBarbera, Edward Haddad, Anthony Calabrese, and Ed Germanowski. 108 lflf' Sporty HREE YEARS have passed since our first experience with hockey sticks, base- balls, and baseball bats. As timid sophomores we were slammed and battered about the field, but we did manage to come through and win the baseball tournament in our first year of sports. As juniors we offered more competition. We snatched the hockey tourna- ment away from the seniors. To make our junior year still better, we won the basketball and baseball tournaments also. As seniors we have taken every tournament on the record, including hockey, basketball, volleyball, bowling, and swimming. jenny Karpeck was winner of the archery contest, with Mabel Valenti and Kathleen Green finishing second and third respectively. As we go to press, the baseball championship has yet to be decided. In all the years of girls' intramural sports competition in Pittsfield High School, no other class has received so many monograms as the Class of 1940. At the close of the ninth annual physical training demonstration of the girls' athletic department, the following girls received one monogram: Mary Maruk, Grace Houston, Wanda Naprava, Dorothy Yarmey, and Alta Miller. Lillian Blair and Margaret Ward received two monograms, and it is our proud boast that one of our number earned three monograms. jenny Karpeck is the first girl to attain such an honor in the nine years of intra-mural sports at Pittsfield High. We take our hats off to you,jenny Karpeck, and to all the girls who have helped to make our class outstanding in the realm of sports. 109 ufutogmphs t ADVERTQINGQ -Ego- Em! N. Q!

GERST Pwdwt Pittsfield Massachusetts 131 7074 afiheawime Whenever some cynical observer of the passing scene tells me that America is going to the dogs and that the future is blealc indeed, all l need do to disprove his pessimistic view is to look at such scenes as are being enacted all over the Country right now. What l refer to, as you have guessed, is the graduation of thousands of students from our Country's High Schools and Colleges. just as long as American young people consider an education essential, iust so long will America be a Country with a future. You young people who are now graduating constitute one of our Country's greatest assets. ln a few years, you will have grown to manhood and womanhood. Yours will then be the responsibility which is now ours - who can doubt that you will handle it as creditably as our generation? With the advantages you enioy, you are indeed fortunate. You have opportunities that were denied us. You went to better schools. Your instruction was more competent. And the world you are entering holds more promise than the one into which your parents and grand- parents were ushered, upon finishing school. Part of this promise lies in the contributions of the electrical industry. You have electric light, heat and power as well as the telephone. The radio brings you marvelous entertainment and the news is broadcast from all parts of the world almost the moment something of importance happens. Some of your instruction was furnished by motion pictures and they certainly form a large part of your entertainment. When you grad- uates start in to worlc some of you will enter the utility industry which has contributed so much to better living and which it is my honor to represent. Great changes have come to this industry in the past two decades, far greater changes lie ahead. ln the hands and brains of some of you young people rests the future of this industry and of ever other industry and profession. indeed, its entire future and that oil every other human institution rests upon the genius of today's youth. You are important citizens, you graduates! So long as we have YOU America will be safe - and great. in , PRESIDENT I I PITTSFIELD ELECTRIC COMPANY 152 FIVE Ways to Serve You .... 0 Photographic Supplies Cameras, Film, Paper, Enlorgers, Gadgets 0 Photo Finishing Where Quality Reigns Supreme COMMERCIAL ' PI 0t09faPI Y Cana PORTRAIT, Pictures Taken Anywhere, Anytime 0 Picture Framing Metal and Wooden Frames, Easel and Wall Types 0 Photo Engraving I'IaIf Tones, Line Cuts, Color Plates iii 397STEf25IH E.
