Wasn't that movie spooky? remarked Dot. Even the title scares you-'The Ghost That Spoke'. Yes, answered Betty, weren't you scared when the villain grabbed the heroine? My, but I could almost hear the chains rattle when the ghost came down the stairs. Wasn't it funny when he fell down the stairs? You could hear him groan without using hardly any imagination. Hark! Did you hear that? A groaning was heard in the bushes at the side of the road. Oh Dot! I'm scared. Look! Can't you see something white? Let's run, Betty. The girls started off on a run. Oh, it's following us! What is it? Oh Dot! The girls clutched each other in fear. Grrr! Bow-wow! Why! It is only Smith's big white collie! The dog soon disappeared and the girls continued on their way. When they came to the railroad crossing they had to stop and wait for a freight train. The train came slowly on and stopped at the crossing, the wheels squeaking from lack of grease. Their attention was drawn to the car in front of them. A door slid cautiously open and a face with wild eyes peered out at them, then the door slammed shut. Betty gave a scream and ran back, and Dot, not brave enough to stay alone, quickly followed her. They stayed at a safe distance until the freight had resumed its rambling way. The girls trudged bravely on. At their left a black and white animal appeared and followed slowly after them. Betty spied him- What's that? Dot looked and responded, A skunk. What shall we do? Nothing, if you expect to arrive home safely. They looked back, walked a few steps, looked back again and started to run. Look back, Dot, and see if it is still coming. She looked and reported that it was patiently trotting after them. Slow down. Maybe it will leave us. They halted and the animal came slowly on. Meow! Meow! Why! It is only Tabby. What geese we are! That picture was too much for our nerves. Dot picked Tabby up and Betty, looking up the road, saw a huge figure approaching. Look Dot, it is a man and I bet he is that lunatic that escaped from Brewster's Neck. 6 THE HERMIAD What shall we do now? The man saw them. A blinding light startled them and they found themselves looking straight into the rays of a flashlight. 'tVfhy, hello, Bettylnexclaiined a deep masculine voice. Ulflhat are you and Dot doing at this time of the night? It was llob, their neighbords son, and Betty answered, We're seeing spooks and lunatics. I'm glad We are nearly home. Bob offered to walk back with them, but they refused and resumed their shadows. The into the house and exclaimed, journey home, with many a backward glance house was in sight and both girls started to run. , scaring their mother out of a sound sleep. She What's that ! sits? THE IDEAL CAMPING PARTY fl-Ielen Dawley-19291 I once more at lurking They burst jumped up HE ideal time to go camping is in the summer, preferably the latter part of July and the month of August, when everything is at the height of its glory and one feels the call of the woods or of the lakes. The best place for a summer camp is on a sloping hillside above a lake, which is sur- rounded by over-hanging branches, and where there are plenty of hsh, as well as other wild life. I know of just such a lake, it is set in a little valley which is completely surrounded by hills, but its beauty is little known, as the roads by which one may reach this ideal camping spot are in a terrible condition. For a real good timc, there should be at least six persons who are spending their vacation together. The old by-word the more the merrier surely applies in this situation. Of course the members of the party should be pleasant, agreeable, willing to help each other, and above all, willing to enter into each day's program with interest, never spoiling the fun of the campers through fretting or expressions of dissatisfaction with plans made by others. Camping is really no fun unless everyone is willing to pitch in and help with the daily tasks which must be done. It isn't a real party if the members hire a cook or anyone else, for that matter, when they are thoroughly capable of doing their own work. In the first place, if the members are to live in tents during their stay, they should all help with the setting up of the tents and the furnishings. If they are to use cabins, each person should furnish his own cabin, and keep it in good order. Co-operation is absolutely necessary on any camping trip. The members should work together paring the meals, keeping the camp in order and even in planning the in pre- BTYIUSC- THE HERMIAD 7 ments for each day. And if there is a chaperone,-supposing that the camp- ers are young people,-she should be afforded every courtesy, and her advice should be followed. She should not have to do very much work while there are young people to do it. They should also include her in their good times, make her one of them. There are so many ways to have a good time while on a camping trip, that it would be impossible to name them all, but I can at least give an idea of one day's entertainment. What fun it is to get up a little after sunrise in the morning, jump into a bathing suit, and have a lively half-hour swimming and scrambling in the cold waters of the lake. Then comes a dash into dry clothing and the preparation of breakfast, which may consist of any food which the campers like. After the morning meal, when the small tasks of putting the camp in order are finished, it is great fun to go fishing, or boating, or on a hike through the woods. The campers are usually proud if they can catch enough fish for the noon meal, which is the heartiest of the day. In the afternoon there may be games, calls on neighboring campers, if there are any, or any other amusement which pleases the party. The evenings are the crowning glories of the days, however, when the group gathers around a camp fire to tell stories, sing, play musical instruments, or put on a few amateur theatricals. It is amusing to see the camp members, dressed in their ordinary camp regalia, stout clothes to stand the wear of camp life, trying to make their fellow members realize what or whom they are trying to imitate. If there are neighbors, all sorts of contests may be held between the camps, with a prize awarded to the winning gmoup. Oh, there is nothing more enjoyable than a summer camp, with congenial campmates. GENE? WHAT? fErnest Royle-19281 0 write, and what to Write: that is the question. This very day we were told we were to write something for the Hermiad. Almost anything will do, said the teacher, but I won't accept any- thing unless it is well done. , What shall we write about? t Oh, write about a football game, something about the school, a ghost story, or countless other things. Or perhaps you can write something original. How can we write something original? It is a common saying that there is nothing new under the sun. This is going to be nearly original, I think, but what a subject it is! It is the undisguised feelings of one who has to write when he does not feel like it. D 8 THE HERMIAD We may be told to imitate Shakespeare, Milton, or some other well known writer. We'cannot bring ourselves to do it: we do not want to push them out of the limelight, at least not yet. There is another evil of writing something for the Hermiadf' Instead of going right to work and studying our lessons we ponder for an hour or two on what to write. It is not easy to decide. In looking over some of the Hermiads of the past two or three years I noticed particularly titles such as The Model Pupils, With Apologies to Shakespeare, Conduct in Class Meetings, Study, My Pup. If you consider the titles only, they may seem to be quite appropriate subjects for students to write about, but when you read the articles you notice that every one is either written in a sarcastic manner or is on a subject which it is evident the pupil was driven by necessity to choose, even though he realized it would be more appropriate for a third grader. If this particularly forced attempt at writing an article for the Hermiad fwe have to write something to get a markj should ever be published, as it may be because it is on a very important subject, it will only be one of many written late at night and protesting against unexpected theme assignments which most pupils will agree are seemingly made up by teachers to keep them from catching up in their studies. Citgo THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS IN OUR SCHOOL CEvelyn Troening-19291 THLETICS and sports are the most talked of subjects of our modern times. Why? Because we are living in a sport-loving world. The people of today admire the ability of another: they respect and applaud the prowess of an athlete. Multitudes went to Chicago to witness a championship boxing match. Hundreds flock to college stadiums to witness athletic con- tests between teams representing renowned collegesu Thousands gathered at the Yankee Stadium to watch the World Series and see Babe Ruth break his own home run record! What is more fitting than that athletics should also be a part of our school life? What a dull and dreary place our school would be if we had no team which engaged in competitive games! These games enliven us, and, as we urge our team ever onward to victory, they also arouse school spirit, and es- tablish in the students a sort of paternal feeling which immediately makes them true supporters of their school. The oldest member of the alumni will slap his fellow citizen on the back when he hears of a victory which his school team has won. xr., 1927 F JOTBALI, TEAM v THE HERMIAD 9 Athletics are also a great asset to the health of those who participate. Statistics have proved that athletes live longer than the average man. Sur- prisingly, football players averaged better than other athletes, while baseball men had the highest mortality rate. An athlete must be clean in mind and in bodyg he is alert, cheerful, and never lazy. He acquires speed and endur- ance, and is taught to meet hard things in life without fiinching. Through competitive games the athlete acquires sportsmanship which is the greatest asset to himg he must be able to face defeat and say to himself, May the best man win! Every boy dreams of being a second Red Grange, or perhaps a Bill Tildeng and every girl admires Gertrude Ederle and Helen Wills. These boys and girls of today are given their chance to display their ability in their own schools. If they have the ability they are given the opportunity to develop itg and in them may be discovered the champions of tomorrow. The growth of athletics in colleges and high schools has been amazing. Huge sums of money have been spent and invested in athletic plants. Under- graduate and alumni interests have become intense, and at times, hysterical. But as athletics mount in importance, serious students of American Educa- tion, as well as those who are not so serious, never cease to debate the effect and value of athletics on the school. Quia AN ATHLETIC FIELD FOR PLAINFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Uoseph Hawkins-19285 VER since Plainfield High School has been established in its present location the need of an athletic field has been a vital question. At the present time high school athletics are considered to be of great importance in the training of an able bodied citizen. But Plainfield High School is handicapped. Though it has ample land it has no properly developed athletic field and it is inconvenient to carry on major sports. Necessities such as a proper place to change clothes, suflicient lockers and adequate showers are lacking. The field which is used is too far away to be desirable either for home teams or for visiting teams. If the athletic field were near to the school, a larger number of the students would compete in the sports and a greater interest in the athletics of the high school would be shown. More of the student body would attend the games and give support which is now lacking. Not only in interscholastic sports would an athletic field near the school be helpful, but in physical education work and in interclass games as well. Physical training would be more interesting and class competition would be greatly increased. 10 THE HERMIAD A BAD ERROR QWilliam Williams--1 9281 HE spirit of the huckleberry season had got into the blood of us two Wilbur boys, me and Dan,--my name is Jim. So one bright sunny morning, accompanied by two large pails, we decided to try these little fruits of nature. After a good long walk we arrived at the glorious huckleberry field. Perhaps you have read of huckleberry fields where the berries are as large as marbles, and any way one turns he is confronted by tall bushes, loaded with delicious berries. Every way we turned we were confronted by tall bushes, loaded with plenty of sharp stubbles that lacerated the skin as well as the clothes. Well, say, I believe we tramped those woods for ten miles and all the time the huckleberries kept getting scarcerg to add to our misery we ran into a herd of cows, at least Dan said so. He was a little distance in front of me and said an ugly looking cow was in the way. When I reached him I saw the animal-or rather her head-which was thrust through the brush. Up-on a second look the features of the animal changed from those of a cow to those of the male sex of that sepcies. I immediately informed my brother of the fact. He readily agreed with me and suggested we walk away. We had not walked far when I noticed a member of the herd following us. We accelerated our pace somewhat and I was surprised to find our pursuer did also. That was enoughg the track Work we did then was enough to make any coach proud. Dan suggested that we find a tree and ascend. If the huckleberry bushes had stubbles on them, I don't know what the tree I picked had on it. Anyway it didn't stop me any. I most certainly gave an imitation of a bird, and reached a safe perch before our friend arrived. When he did appear he must have had a good laugh to himself when he saw us up that tree. From the looks of him I doubt that he would have harmed a flea. Shortly after his arrival he departed and we left our tree. When we started for home we were accompanied by two large pails, both of them filled to their brims with air. What huckleberries we did pick we lost during our mad scramble through the thick underbrush. Thus was the spirit of the huckleberry season taken out of us two Wilbur boys. THE HERMIAD 11 ADVENTURES IN LILLIPUT CHelen Hart-19281 OMMY was roaming through a strange forest. He had no idea how he came to be there, but he knew he was lost and saw no way of getting out. As he sat resting on a log he saw a strange band of little men coming toward him. These midgets were about six inches tall and half of them were riding on rats while the others walked behind. Tommy was astonished, of courseg but he soon found voice enough to ask them where they were going and if they could help him find his way home. n We are in luck, cried the leader dismounting. Here is a giant who seems friendly enough to help us combat the enemy. If you will help us rescue our queen, he said, addressing Tommy, we will take you out of the forest. Where is your queen, asked Tommy rising slowly. She has been stolen by our enemy from across the river and we must get her back today or her kingdom will be destroyed. Take me to her. I am in a hurry to leave the forest, said Tommy impatiently. Forward march! called the leader mounting his rat again. On they went for about an hour. It seemed very slow traveling to Tommy who took a step and then waited for the rest. The river which they had to cross seemed only a brook to him. The enemy were prepared for war, but when they saw Tommy they became so surprised and were so interested in him that they forgot to guard the queen and the leader seized her and ran back to his steed before they could realize what was happening. Now that the queen is gone, let's keep this giant in our kingdom, said one man. He is so large and powerful he could help us win our battles. Before Tommy understood their plans, many little men were binding his hands and feet with their stoutest ropes which seemed like cord to Tommy. He looked for his friends whom he had helped and saw them crossing the river rejoicing over the safety of their queen. The midgets took Tommy to their court house which was their largest building. Alas! he could not even .get his head through the doorway. It was at this time that they began to realize his enormous size in comparison with them. Fear suddenly seized them and not knowing anything else to do they called a meeting and decided that the quickest way to get rid of him was to throw him into the river. It took about a hundred and fifty men to move the protesting Tommy. At last they reached the river and threw him in, splash! When Tommy came to the surface again he opened his eyes and to his surprise found himself sitting on the fioor of his bedroom. His mother came in and when she saw him she cried, Why, what has happened? 12 THE HERMIAD Where have the midget men gone? asked Tommy. You've been dreaming, dear. Jump into bed and go back to sleep, answered his mother. ffkffiie APRIL FIRST , QWitoldo Bakanowsky-19291 T was the first of April! A long, dreary winter had passed, and it was fishing time once again. It was a happy boy who left the old farm be- hind, and tramped across the fields in the direction of Pookigod Creek- famous for its speckled beauties. The mist hung over the pasture lands in heavy clouds as if an enormous blanket had been outstretched by some unseen power. But what mattered a little mist to a boy who had hibernated for four dreary winter months? At last the gurgling of the rushing water reached my ears. How good it sounded! How cheerful and musical !-Just as I had left it twelve months ago! It did not take me long to bait my hook. I stealthily approached the banks of the little streamg carefully I dropped my line into a deep, remote pool. No sooner had the bait reached the water, when, Splash!-a flash of gold, a sudden rush, the line grew tautg and the first trout of the season was hooked. What a thrill it was to feel the game little warrior at the end of the line! What a battle he put up too! Never before had I been so excited. At last the rushes diminished, his runs became weaker. He was captured, but not until his strength was exhausted. My hat is off to the noble trout- a real, game fish-he fights to the last. The hours slipped by unheeded. The sky was now a livid red. The sun, like a ball of fire, was just sinking behind a high hill. The day was over. It was not a discouraged boy who tramped home that eveningg it was not a boy exhausted by study or abuse. It was a happy boyg one who had sought Nature's Paradise, and had found it. He was tired and hungry, tired from God's labor--exercise in the open air. aiu? MY BEST FISH STORY fJoseph Samalus--19315 HAD been fishing all morning and hadn't got a sign of a bite. The pool had a reputation of having many large fish in it, so I began to investigate. I lay down on the bank and peered over the edge into the water. Lo! and behold-there were about a dozen of the biggest trout I ever saw wrang- THE HERMIAD 13 ling over something. At first I cou1dn't iigure out what it was that would interest them more than the fly. Then suddenly it dawned on me. A Cross- word Puzzle! Sure enough there was an old newspaper lying on the bottom and they were all busy with the puzzle! As far as I could see, there was only one word unsolved, but it had them stumped. Then I hit upon a bright idea. I ran home and grabbed old Noah Webster and back to the pool I went. Then I shouted, Here's what you need g and then what a stampede! Big trout and little trout, one and all, scrambled up the bank and crowded about the dictionary. X Find a seven-letter word meaning frying utensil, quick ! they shouted. Immediately I seized them all and tossed them into my basket. On my way home, I explained that I could show them better than tell them what the word was. QSHZS STUDYING FOR AN EXAM. fKenneth Street-1 931 J OMEHOW or other I was not able to- endure much supper on that particular evening and I usually endure a lot. I took my book and went in to the living room chair. I read two pages. I tried to think of some question the teacher would ask. While I was thinking, my mind wandered to the other room. I listened to what was going on. They were asking my sister how she made out with her exams. Then I began to think how I would make out with mine. I got tired of sitting in the chair. I went over to the couch to lie down. I finally de- cided it was too cool lying there without something over me. I got up and put the Indian blanket over me. Then I opened the book but I could not find the place. I found the place and read a few pages. Then I needed a drink. When I went back to the other room I started the radio. They were playing old time jigs and I listened to them. When they finished playing, a woman began to talk on How to make housework easier for a mother. I listened to her a few minutes and then I put on my hat and coat and went up to the store after the paper. Some men were talking about what they did in the army. I listened to them about two hours. It was ten o'clock and I thought I would go home and do the rest of my studying. When I got home the radio announcer was just signing oif. He said good night, so I thought it was time to retire too, after my hard evening's work. THE HERMIAD THE STUDENTS' FRIEND fAnna Herr-19293 In Plainfield High there's a jolly man Who helps the students all he cang If there's ever a job that we can't see through, We call Mr. Gauthier, that's what we do. From seven in the morning to six at night, If you enter the building, he's always in sightg If there's ever a task that needs a man, He's right on the spot and does what he can. On a wintry day, when the building is cold, Mr. Gauthier's the man that's sure to be toldg And like a good fellow, away he will trot To see if he can't get the big boiler hot. On a spring afternoon, when all others are gone, You're likely to see him out mowing the lawn, Or you'll find him with pans and dusters and brooms As he sweeps up the halls and cleans up the rooms. If he sees anything begin to go wrong, He certainly stops and starts it along. He's always the same, always wearing a smile, Though in doing his work he walks many a mile, If his temper is tried, he never shows it, And if he gets tired, there's no one that knows it: And what I think P. H. S. students should do Is to thank Mr. Gauthier and give him praise too. BASKETBALL TEAM 1952? +519 THE CLASS OF 1928 +954 THE HERMIAD WHO ARE WE?

He has served as tackle on the football team for four years and during his junior and senior years has been manairer of the basketball team. He will long be re- membered as Dead-Eye Dick in the senior play and as Sacco-Wagga---not forizettinz the grass skirt-win The King's Emzlish. EARL BECKWITH CARPENTER UA mighty hunter. --Iopc. Cap, the lad with the grin, comes from the open ranges of Canterbury. He played end on the football tm-am for two years and is expected to toss a few balls this spring. During his senior year Cap sprung a surprise by rolling into Daniel Webster's family and rivalinz his brother Nelson as an orator. NELSON LEMUEL CARPENTER He hath the golden gift of oratory. yEmcrson. Nel is a popular and dignified senior. He demon- strated his dramatic talent by acting the difficult part if Mat Peasley in the senior play. Nelson is well known for his :rift of public speaking: for which he won a prize during: his Freshman year. He excels in sports having played on the football and baseball teams for the last three years. Nel also represents the Senior class on the Student Council. Strange to say Nelson is frequently addicted to Day-dreaming. EUGENE JOSEPH CARROLL Don't worry about your workg do what you can, let the rest go, and smile all the time. Geney, the sheik of Jewett City and the tallest member of '28, is a baseball man whose cne ambition is to become a great pitcher. What would classes be without his wise-cracks! He will never admit being un- prepared and can always find for any question an answer which is, of course, absolutely correct. He certainly makes a hit with the girls because of his flashy attire nnd his dancing. TERRANCE JEROME COUGHLIN A nvnn is n'-vi-r sn happy as when he is talking. -Kipling, Terrance has been a great help to us during our four years as he always knows the latest from the office and if we ever wanted information, we consulted him. He is xl familiar fiizure around the library, either reading the paper or studying. Terrance was a great success in The King's English. THE HERMIAD WILLIAM BERNARD COUGHLIN Sister calls me 'Willie'. Yes, Willie is the other haIf : as he makes up in rotundity what Terrance has in length, honors am even in the Coughlin family. We hate to admit that. Willie has strayed from that straight and narrow path of bacherlorhood and succumbed to the charms of those havoc-working females of his class, the Sterling Seniors. He may not be able to compute the area of a rectangular polygon, but he surely can figure the correct price of fish in Moosup. Good luck in the grocery store, Willie. EDMOND ALFRED D'AVIGNON HMy idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with mef' -- -Dismrli. Eddie is one of the Three Musketeers and a Popular member of the class. He is a remarkable shot in basketball: what would our team be without him! He always knows his French,-and howl He is a great talker and loves to convince people. Y0u'd think by his innocent brown eyes that he is a quiet, unsophistieated lad, but is he? RUSSELL KENNETH GALLUP Wishe me lucke-throw an olde shooe after me. --Hey'wo0rl. Russell is the guiding star of his class. His mood disposition has won the hearts of his fellow students. His fine acting in the difficult part of Cappy in the senior play deserves high praise. During baseball season he is seen on first base: he rarely misses a pass and shows his opponents where the back fence is. He is a strong orator and debater and has proved his talent in mornimr assemblies. CLIFFORD WILLIAM GAUTHIER UI am Sir Oracle, and when I ope my lips, let no dog h:1rk. - Slzakesprarf. Peg his been a prominent member of the P. H. S. varsity football squad for four seasons and at basketball he has won the coveted letter once. He was sophomore class treasurer and business manager of the Hermiad for 1927. As hard-boiled Mike in The King's English he was a mighty hit with his strong body developed by his activities as physical training' leader of the boys of the school. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow who enjoys u good joke and can tell many of them. ARMAND JOSEPH GILBERT Be satisfied with nothing but your best? Gilbert is a second member of the Ulnseparable Three and is a strong supporter of Carroll. He is n good athlete and has been on both baseball and basketball teams. We regret that due to certain illness he was unable to take part in either dramatics or athletics during his senior year. THE HERMIAD JOSEPH SAMUEL HAWKINS No matter what happened, he grinned. -Guest. Joe has an enviable reputation: his temper is never upset. Senior themes, chemistry problems, French con- versation have no terror for him: he meets them with a grin, and his name is always on the honor roll. He has distinguished himself as the Duke of Venice in the Merchant of Venice, as a cannibal in The King's English and As Simpson in Either or Eyther. HENRY JOSEPH MARCHESSEAULT I love to meditate-on anything but books. The silence of the classroom is broken by a sarcastic comment. No one need to look for the culprit: it's Marchesseault. Yet he has such a thoughtful, meditative countenance! He is an actor of no mean ability: consider the love-sick Cecil in the senior play, or Bring-em-in Brashley, snappy salesman in The King's English. Henry is class treasurer, and art editor of the Hermiad. His favorite occupations are chewing gum, wandering around with Rus or Teddy, and talking business in French class. CHARLES CLEMENT MODLISZEWSKI You have told me, Charles. -Browning. Charley's chief interest ever since he came to Plainfield High School has been athletics. ln basketball, baseball and football he has proved his worth. He is a great favorite among his classmates and while attending some wild party at Canterbury is very entertaining to certain members of the fair sex. As Gus in The King's English Charley made a hit with the audience. WALTER PRENTICE ROBINSON And when a lady's in the case, You know all other things give place. -Gay. Walt is from Wauregan and during his sojourn at P. H. S. has been very popular. He has been a P. T. leader for three years, was manager of the baseball and football teams in '27 and played guard on the varsity basketball team in '28. He was treasurer of his class in '27 and for two years has served on the Student Council. For the last three years he has successfully taken an extra subject, Some day we shall see M. D. after his name. JOSEPH ERNEST ROYLE He heareth many things and say:-th naught: Yet naught drth pass his clarion cl1:xllengP. 'elllilfnn. Ernest comes to us from Plainfield. He holds the honor of being president of the senior class and captain of the 1928 basketball team. He is one of the class triplets, the other two being Robinson and Smith. Ernest has a decided flair for mathematical research and polite argument. THE HERMIAD LEWIS CHAPMAN SAFFORD My mind to me n. kingdom is. ---Dye. No one disputes Lewis's supremacy as the master mind of the class of '28, He is the genius of the class and his name is seen every month on the honor roll. There is nothing too hard for him to learn and his good will helps him in every undertaking. His fine acting as Skinner in the senior play deserves much credit. ARNOLD LIVESEY SMITH O, we yon Swain, a moon-sick, lovelorn youth. -Herrick One is sometimes led to wonder why the procession from the Plainfield bus is held up every morning. There is only one reason: Smithy is lolling at the head of the line. His scholarship used to approach the ideal, but for some sad and sentimental reason his A's are now rather infrequent. Smithy took part in both the junior and senior plays, has played football for two seasons and basketball for one. This year he is secretary of the Athletic Association and president of the Student General Association. WILLIAM BYRON SWEET U'l'he Complete Angler. -Walton. Where to begin listing Byron's activities is a prob- lem, for since his first appearance at P. H. S. in the spring of 1926, he has attended school during oh' seasons on fish. Byron is chiefly known as Doc, the surgical genius from Jewett City. He always has a carefree air and a singular lack of something to do. We all hope to hear great things of Byron in the line of surgery in the near future. THEODORE ALFRED TETREAULT 'klflnppy man happy dole-. AH1'yiuond. Teddy one of the boys of the class, comes from Moosup. He is a very good athlete and has represented Plainfield High School on both baseball and football teams, though his favorite of the two sports is football. He has been popular among his classmates and they honored him by making him their junior class president. His specialty is i'PER'S. WILLIAM EZRA WILLIAMS All great men are dead, and l'm not feeling so well myself. Bill, one of the most popular members of the class of '28, was its president for two years. He is an all- round athlete and was captain of the 1927 football team and of the 1928 baseball team. Bill has also proved him- self to be an actor. Who could resist him as Dick, the good looking American boy of The King's English! Bill may be quiet, but still waters run deep. THE HERMIAD RAYMOND MILTON YOUNG ' Ti: ccluczitirn forms the commcsn mind: just as the twig is bent the tr:-e's inclined. -Pope. Ray comes to us from Sterling Hill with his twin brother. He is a studious young fellow and is even seen reading his books in the bus to and from school. He seldom holds a conversation unless it has to do with a party or something of a similar nature and then he is right there. His greatest amusement is playing the piano, his chief ambition, to enter Storrs. RICHMOND ALTON YOUNG l'x:i nrt sunk whether I'm mr- or my brother. -Tzvafii. Richmond is one of the two Romeos from Sterling and one of the quietest members of '28g yet, through his quietness, his achievements speak for themselves. He will he remembered as a comet player in the school orchestra during his freshman year and as Cappy Ricks's chauffeur in the senior play. We expect to see him at Storrs next year and are confident that his winning smile will gain for him many friends. CLAIRE ELOISE BERARD 0 Rome'-, Ruinvo! Wherefore art thrzu Routes? ---Sl1akrrpra1v'. Claire came to Plainfield High School from Baltic Academy in her sophomore year. She was at once elected class secretary and this year she has been vice-president. By her sweet smile she has become very popular with both boys and girls. We all know that she is going to Hartford for her training but we wonder why. 'Tis sure she will look as sweet in a nurse's uniform as she did as Flnrry in the senior play. ELEANOR MINERVA BRIGGS With thc effect of reed-like slenderncss. --Flrfcllrr. Eleanor is always ready and willing to do anythinjz that will help her class. She possesses a lively schoot ' ' d h spirit an as held many important offices in her four years at P. H. S. Whoever invented the word peach must have had her in mind for that seems the adjective most people apply to her. Eleanor manages to keep deliciously thin while all the diet fiends keep right on gaining. AGNES AMELIA BROWN Time wwrhl, vicar Agnes, is u strange affair. --,'llnlirr1', Agnes, or Peggy, is the smallest member of the class of '28, but it is in size only and not in spirit. She has brightened many a class that would have seemed long and dreary without her. Although not an active participant in sports, she is a very good basketball player and as side center has given us great help in the inter- class games. We shall always remember her as Cleopatra Ann in the senior pla , fo ,h ' y r s e and her lollipop made a great hit with the audience. THE HERMIAD ETHEL LOUISE BROWNE Small si-rvicc is true service while it lasts. Ethel, known among her schoolmates as Eppie, comes from the suburbs of Sterling. She and Kay and Mad make an inseparable trio. She is extremely fond of typing. What would the class of '28 be without Eppie's hearty laughter? Her gray eyes and her curly hair win her friends everywhere. IDA BELLE BUTLER Butts is one of the most sought-after girls in the class and has served willingly and well on many com- mittees. Her basketball playing deserves mention as she is one of the finest guards the school has ever had. She is secretary of the Student General Association which is perhaps the reason that she made such a fine secretary to Cappy Ricks. DOROTHY MAE CARPENTER f l'he way to a n1an's heart is through his stomach. Dot is seen every day at the lunch counter where she is always delighted to wait on male customers. She is always tardy about bringing her report card back to school, undoubtedly because she so admires the A's and B's strung across it. Dot took a prominent part in the senior play, doing it to perfection. When she leaves school she expects to train for a nurse. CHRISTINA MAY CLARK A silent tongue seeks no trouble. Chris is one of the silent but loyal members of the class of '28, It must not be thought, however, that Chris is bashful: ask one of her friends from Oneco about that. She is conscientious and plans to have her work com- pleted when it is due. GLADYS MAE DAVIS Dainty little maiden, whither do you wander? This girl, who hails from Canterbury, is a shining light in all of her classes. Her main pleasure is to re- ceive typing medals in assembly and her name never fails to appear on the honor roll. How she does it no one knows. She is secretary of the class. Her smile brimzs her many friends. She always manages to keep out of mischief, but she can always be found when she is wanted. THE HERMIAD TERESA EVELYN DZIECINNY The figure that thou here seest--Tut, Was it for gentle Shakespeare put? --B. Jonson. Teresa comes from Jewett City. She is quiet and attentive as a rule and her favorite subjects are com- mercial law and banking in which she has been honored. During her stay at Plainfield High she has always tried to be a help to her class and to her school. In the choruses between the acts of Canby Ricks she proved to us that she is able to sing. ESTHER DIANA FALT I climb the hill, from end to end. --Trfnnyxvn. Esther is from Black Hill and may be seen each morning, bright and early, with her little school bag. walking briskly to school. She is a typist and stenogra- pher whom some day we expect to see holding the re- sponsible position of court stenographer in her home town. She demonstrated her dramatic ability as Mrs. Turlington in Either or Eyther. Esther reverses the usual custom. She spends her summers in New York and not in the country. CATHERINE MARY FOX That red-headed gal. Kay's activities are not limited to Plainfield High School: she prefers a wider field for her endeavors. We hear that the young men of Sterling get periodic heart breaks because of her cute little Irish ways. Her favorite occupation is falling in love with Freshmen. We under- stand that Kay intends to be a kindergarten teacher. Her favorite pets are lions-and howl LAURA ESTI-IER GALLUP Whut'er her woes may be, she always smiles. Laura is distinguished by her beautiful dimpled smile. She is very seldom seen without her friend Eleanor. Everyone has heard of Laura's work on the basketball team. It has been said that without her there would be no team. Laura loves history but she excels in chemistry. Do not get the idea that she is serious minded in this subject: she is not. Laura is one of Plainfield High's most popular girls. MADELINE MARY GARVEY The maiden is young and fair to behold, The charm of her presence is richer than gold. -elnman, Madeline, the girl with the chestnut-tinted hair, is a Sterlingite and an innocentite, for when mischief is brewing she is never there. Her smile reveals two neat rows of white teeth, lights up her face and gives her eyes a merry, roguish look. She is a P. T. leader and a loyal member of 1928. THE HERMIAD PAULINE ELIZABETH GLEBAS She saw-and loved. , Peggy is from the great heights of Black Hill. Since bahyhood she has been very partial to teddy-bears but of late her desire for them has been steadily increas- ing. This pert miss is one of the brightest stars of the girls' basketball team. She holds the position of treas- urer of the Athletic Association. Peggxfs. future is some- what obscure though we all know that her thoughts are centered in Moosup. HELEN ELIZABETH HART USilence is the perfectest herald of joy. -Shakespmrr. Helen is one of the most reliable members of the- class of '28. Although she does not make a lot of noise about her activities she is right there if you ever want to know the line in French class, to have help in trans- lating a difficult word in shorthand, or just to have a sociable chat when the teachers are not looking. There is one great problem that we should like to have Helen solve for us: why is she nicknamed Shorty! HELEN HARRIET BATT 'iAn unlesson'd girl, unpractis'd, happy in this, she is not yet sn cld but she may learn. fShakr:pcarc. This fair Iassie is from Flat Rock. Of her studies one could say a great deal and especially of typing in which she is very proficient and for which she has won several medals. Helen has always been a loyal member of Plainfield High School and of the class of '28. It might also be added that she is not so blshful as she- WBS Once. TOINI LYDIA HAVUNEN She maintained a disrreet silence. -Milton. Toini, unlike most Seniors, prepares her work before going to class and speaks only when she is spoken to. Throughout her high school career she has maintained a high standing in the three H trio. She is seldom seen without a shorthand or a typing book and she is not slow with the pencil or the keyboard. Her great ambition is to be a nurse in a doctor's omce, and although it is not generally known, she has a secret liking for those of the opposite sex. BESSIE MARY LILIBERTE Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. -Coleridge. Bessie is one of those smiling, happy girls whose business seems to be to nmake sunshine in a shady place. Her great aim is to be a nurse and we know that she will scatter sunshine among her patients. Per- haps as a side line she will be a singer: her melodious voice certainly rang out at the senior play. THE HERMIAD BEATRICE MARY LAMOTI-IE 0 maiden fresher than the first green leaff'--Tennyson. Bea comes from Plainfield and with her rosy cheeks and dimples is one of the most popular members of the class. She can always be heard above the rest of her classmates for when it comes to giggling Bea is right there. She is very artistic with her violin and has often delighted the assemblies with her solos. She will also be remembered as a chorus girl at the senior play. MADELINE' NICHOLS 'lDrink to me only with thine eyes. -lahnsrm. Madeline is a lover of jazz and a proficient dancer, but she is also an honor student. She is an eflicient typist. having won several medals. In The King's English she was Lola, the leading lady. As her Mona Lisa eyes attract the opposite sex, she has many suitors. We often wonder why Mad patronizes a certain beauty parlor in Moosup. Perhaps it is because of the block in which it is located. CAROLINE VIRONNE THAYER NIGHTINGALE He wlin sows courtesy rr-ups friendship and he who plants kind- ness gathers love. Carlie, as she is commonly called by her classmates. comes from the village of Moosup. She has a very good voice and took part in the choruses at the senior play. She is also very fond of dancing and never fails to be on the floor when the music starts. Her pleasing per- sonality mnkes her welcome everywhere. KATHERINE VERONICA NOFLE They are fools who kiss and tell. -- Kipling. Perhaps this is the reason that Kay is so quiet. You will never End 'her without a book or two under her arm. On account of her position in the Jewett City Garage she has been unable to take part in the school sports although she made a very fine appearance in the interclass games. Her favorite substance in chemistry is chewing gum: the rules and laws of its use she has learned in commercial law class. Kay's greatest hobby is :Inns-ing. She is also very fond of beauty contests. -an ,P u-.u..u-q..q..q-.q..m-n...-q..q..g1qu.....g.q,. ,P En illilrmnriam illnhert Evathrm 3'HPrguuun Gllafm nf 1925 lBrnumvh August 25, 1527 1.m..n... ... ..m.-m.-.lun--m-y.-qu1m..q.-g-g-p-q 1-.hiv-,.M R1 .4 .uu- ,w fi W TEAMIMS BASKETBALL IRL?

During the year a proctoring system has been established in the lunch room: members of the council, by twos, serve for a period of a week directing the pupils and helping them to keep to a single file line. The plan works very well and the lunch room is not the congested place that it used to be. More strict attention has been paid to single file in the corridors during the time that pupils are passing to and from classes. Members of the council stationed in the corridors take care of this also. The ofiicers of the Student General Association are- President ..... .................

THE HERMAID 29 SOCIALS AND DRAMATICS SENIOR PLAY HE Class of 1928 presented its Senior Play at the Best Theatre in Moosup on January 20. The play was Cappy Ricks, with Russell Gallup in the title role. The whole cast deserves exceptional praise for the success of the play. The Cast: Ellen Murray .... . .....

Allard's Orchestra also furnished music. Between the second and third acts a basket of roses was presented to Miss Violette who coached the play. JUNIOR PROMENADE The Junior Prom of the Class of 1929 was held on February 17. It opened with the customary grand march led by August Friese and Irene Zercie, president and vice-president, followed by Roman Jarosz, treasurer and Irene Generous, secretary. The auditorium and gymnasium were effect- ively decorated with strips of crepe paper of alternating red and white, the class colors. A row of potted plants bordered the front of the stage. Music was by Benny Conn and his broadcasting orchestra. The patrons' corner was most attractive with furinture loaned by Dcspathy of Moosup. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. John L. Chapman, Miss Josephine S. Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Friese, Mr. and Mrs. Zercie, Mr. and Mrs. Jarosz and Mr. and Mrs. Generous. SCHOOL DANCES The social season at Plainfield High School opened with a dance given by the Class of 1928 on October 11, 1927. It was a surprisingly big affair for the first of the year and a considerable sum was realized for the class treasury. D'Atri's orchestra of Norwich played and all those who were present declared the evening an all-round success. 30 THE HERMIAD A novelty dance was given by the Class of 1929 on November 10, 1927. The Worcester Collegians' Orchestra was engaged for the evening and the dance was a great success financially as well as in every other respect. GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Miss Mahoney the Girls' Glee Club, the only musi- cal organization in school, has sung its way through another year. Meetings are held every Tuesday afternoon and at the weekly assemblies the members entertain us with some of our old favorites as well as with the very latest out. Occasionally we are favored with a pleasing solo. The ofiicers of the Glee Club are: President ............... . . .Anna Herr 1929 Vice President ................... Ruth Potvin 1930 Secretary ...................... Helen Krauss 1930 Representative to the Council ..... Mildred Sykes 1930 Accompanist ..................... Ruth Potvin 19 30 ASSEMBLIES This year the weekly assemblies have been especially interesting. They began auspiciously with a talk on The Why of English Study by Miss Violette, head of the English department. There followed several programs furnished by members of the Senior Class. Chief among them was a debate, Resolved that senior rhetoricals in assembly should be abolished. The debaters wereg Affirmative, Edmond D'Avignon, Russell Gallup, Negative, Ida Butler, Dorothy Carpenter. Contrary to expectation, the decision was given to the affirmative. The next assembly of note took the form of a forty minute play entitled Either or Eyether. This was an amusing little comedy, exceed- ingly well acted. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Turlington ............... .... H elen Hatt Mr. Turlington ............. .... L ewis Safford Twitter, the maid .... .... P auline Glebas Simpson, the butler .... ..... J oseph Hawkins Mrs. Bray . . ........ ......... L aura Gallup Mr. Bray .... ....... .... C h arles Modliszewski Mrs. Turlington, Sr. ................... Esther Falt Mr. Turlington, Sr. .............. Clifford Gauthier About Thanksgiving time Miss Benson's Home Economics pupils staged a little playlet entitled The Road to Health. The subject was an interesting one and the youthful actors acquitted themselves well. After all of the Seniors had had the privilege of appearing on the plat- form the Juniors had their turn. A group of Junior girls presented a good English program entitled The House of Good Literature and then came the THE HERMIAD 31 Junior boys with their offering of J. Caesar, a travesty on Shakespeare's his- torical tragedy. It deserves special mention for it was unique. The cast was as follows: Prologue Reader .... ..... A ugust Friese J. Caesar ........ .... O lavi Laakso Mark Antony... .... Lucien Bonnin Brutus ...... ..... P aul Shippie Cassius .... . ,James Fanning Trebonius ........ ..... J ames Foy Casca ............. ..... J ohn Driscoll Husky Stage Hands ....... .... F rancis Bakanau Francis Sullivan Mr. Coulson of the Curtis Publishing Company took up one assembly period arousing our interest in a salesmanship campaign. This marked the beginning of a contest between the red team and the green team, the Wild Cats and the Bear Cats, each trying to sell the most subscriptions to the magazines of the Curtis Publishing Company. One morning in March a spelling contest was held between teams picked from the Senior and Junior Classes with Miss Violette dictating the words. The judges voted the contest a tie. Football and basketball rallies took place during several assemblies under the direction of Mr. Fish. Cheers for the teams and for the school were given, with Edmond Abbood and Pauline Glebas as cheer leaders, and school songs and Alma Mater were sung by the student body. Much school spirit was shown at these rallies. Much of the music for assemblies has been furnished by individuals this year. We have had the pleasure of hearing Beatrice Lamothe play twice and the applause she received showed that everyone enjoyed her selections. Marguerite Miller gave harmonica solos one Friday and there have been numerous pleasing vocal solos by different members of the school. The Girls' Glee Club has made a good showing and has sung at nearly every assembly. 0 f. fri ' . I, V k,.- 41, ., ,L . . 'S m 1?

Spiller, won six of its fourteen scheduled games. The season might be called successful, for Bryant-Stratton College was beaten as were Killingly, West Warwick, East Greenwich and the Alumni. At the completion of the playing season William Williams was chosen to lead the 1928 team. Summary Opponents P. H. S. .West Warwick at Moosup .... 10 . . . . . .

Coach Mullen, who last year carried the team through a successful season, repeated his performance. The season opened on September 24 with a game against Chapman Tech at New London. The Plainfield team, although completely outweighed, played a good game throughout. Chapman Tech was victorious 13-0. The next game, on October 4, is one which will be remembered in years to come. At Killingly Plainfield piled up a score higher than any other in the history of the rivalry between the two schools, defeating Killingly 32-0. The game was interesting and fast and Plainfield showed by far the better team work and football technique. Plainfield was scheduled to play North Attleboro on the 8th of October, but on account of bad weather the game was postponed indefinitely. October 15 the Putnam team came to Plainfield and was defeated 19-0. Putnam did her best to score, but found the Plainfield eleven fully on their guard, thereby leaving the visitors scoreless. Stonington played at Plainfield on the 22nd, The wearers of the black and orange fought valiantly against the driving attack of the heavy Ston- ington team 3 after four hard fought quarters the score stood 12-0 in favor of the visitors. At Pomfret, October 31, Plainfield, although defeated showed that she had a dependable, hard-playing team by holding Pomfret to thirteen points while she was credited with six. To close the season, November 11 Plainfield played at Warwick. The final score was 20-0 in favor of Warwick. The P. H. S. eleven played as they had never played before in an effort to check Warwick's forceful attack and it was exceptionally good team work that held the Rhode Island team to the final low score.

From them coach Fish developed a team which, considering the strenuous schedule of 17 games arranged by Manager Abbood, brilliantly fought through a successful season. In the first game, the Alumni nosed out the Varsity by one basket. The final standing was 27-25. Putnam Trade School was Plainfield's victim in two games played at Plainfield High Schoolg at Putnam, however, the wearers of the orange and black were defeated 28-18. Both games against Woodstock ended in Plainfield's favor. On the Plainfield floor Putnam defeated the home team in a hard-fought game. The score stood 26-24 but at Putnam, Plainfield again suffered defeat by a 36-12 score. Stonington, who had already met and defeated the strong Norwich Free Academy team, met with reverses at the Plainfield High School gym, the game ending in Plainfield's favor 24-21. Unfortunately, Plainfield was defeated in the return game at Stonington 29-7. Plainfield broke even against Killingly, winning the game at Central Village 23-209 and losing at Danielson 29-14. At Warwick, Plainfield High School added another victory by a 21-19 score. The game ended a tie after which a 3 minute over-time period was played. The return game with Warwick was lost 32-22. Norwich Free Academy proved too strong for the Plainfield team, win- ning both games. - Summary of Games P. H. S. Opponents 25 . . . . ............

Manager Gallup arranged an interesting schedule which included games with some of the fastest teams in this part of the State. Coached by Miss Hayes and with Pauline Glebas as Captain, the girls showed us, not by scores alone, but also by the clean, fast playing that they could hold their own with the best of teams. The season opened with a game against Stonington, at the Plainfield Gym. The game resulted in a 22-21 victory for Stonington. The tables turned when, the following week, Plainfield on her own floor administered a bitter defeat to Putnam. The score was 49-24. The second game against Stonington at Stonington proved to be a Battle of Giants g the Plainfield Sextet determined to bring home the bacon, and Stonington was unwilling to suffer defeat. The result was a 35-35 tie and after a 3 minute overtime period the score still remained a tie-38-38. The return game with Putnam at Putnam resulted in a victory for Plain- field who was credited with 38 points, against Putnam's 28. Plainfield proceeded on her victorious road, winning over the Storrs Freshmen, 37-12. Woodstock was now the only opponent left. The game at Plainfield ended in a 43-33 victory for the home team and the return game at Woodstock closed the season, Plainfield defeating Woodstock 45-44 in a hard-fought contest. With five victories and one tied game, Plainfield atoned for her one defeat. All games featured good, clean playing and splendid sportswoman- ship of which we may be proud. 36 THE HERMIAD P. H.S.

The Seniors began their triumphal march to the championship by defeat- ing a light Sophomore team 31-16. In the Junior-Freshman game the Freshies proved to be a stubborn contender and it was not until the closing minutes of play that the Juniors staged a rally and emerged victorious by the very narrow margin of three points. The final score was 15-12. The final, between '28 and '29, was a slow game won by the Seniors. The Junior team was handicapped by playing without the services of its captain, Stanley Derda. The score at the final whistle was 23-14 in favor of the Seniors. In the girls' games the Juniors, Class of '29, triumphed, winning two games out of three. The Freshmen and Sophomores were easy prey for the more experienced upper classmen. The games aroused the usual amount of enthusiasm and class spirit and large numbers attended. Summary Boy's Series.

Chapman is the master, And he wards off great disaster To the ohice we go, In, trembling and slow, But we leave it a whole lot faster! 2. Her front door name is Josephine, I think you all know whom we meang She is not small, She's kind to all From Senior to the Freshman green. A THE HERMIAD There's a teacher named A. Genevieve, English pupils she causes to grieve, She's game for a lark, But thinks B's a good mark, As we squirm she laughs up her sleeve. There's a teacher in Math, called George In his classes he will have no play, He chortles with glee, As he gives us a D, And he's turning the Juniors' hair gray. Our Home Ec. teacher's name it is Hann J., 3, With pleasing voice and charming mannerg To her rooms we go, To cook or to sew, Mend our hose or cook a banana. We give homage to you, our Miss Celia, We hope no one comes here to 'steal yay One has to be wary, To hoodwink Miss Clary, A glance of her eyes will congeal ya. Now listen to this song of mine, Of one who has a joking lineg He makes us dally With quip or sally, For he's our Comic Valentine. There's a teacher of French named Miss D Who rules kindly by sparing the rod, Each morn at her door, Her cheery Bon jour Impels all of her pupils to nod. Just a line to the club they call Glee! Can they sing? Oh my! Oh me! me! Just ask Miss Mahoney If they're not the boloneyg They're the Belles of St. Mary's you odd see 44 THE HERMIAD 10. We have a teacher called Gus, Who tries to get brains into usg It's a hard thing to do, 'Cause our brains are so few, And it makes the poor man want to cuss. 11. The basketball coach is C. L. He teaches his boys very wellg His last name is Fish, But oh! how I wish, He'd not use that horrid word-! 12. We must not forget Margaret Reid, For from her we purchase our feedg We long for our noon, It can't come too soon, 'Cause her grub is the best ever seed. 13. The girls' basketball coach, Helen Hayes, Had a team which all did amaze, They all played so well, Their opponents all fell, All due to her nice winning ways. 14. A young lady by the name of Miss Cronin Has a complexion which never needs tonin'g Although one of the best, When she gives us a test, It starts all of her pupils a-groanin'. 15.

He found Herr talking to the Butler and he at once became exceedingly angry, as only the week before, he had presented her with a bunch of Violettes. His Hart was sore because he had wasted his Nichols on what now seemed a Generous impulse. They were not aware of his presence, and as he watched, the Butler drew her to him. Oh, Ma-honey, aren't your Arms-strong! cried the dusky servitor. After Fanning himself a moment to recover from his surprise the Baker intervened and said, You should be using your great strength sailing a Briggfsj and catching Fish for Jack's-son. After this outburst he grabbed his Hatt, dashed out of the door to his Brown steed and was off down the Hill at a Gallup. As he was riding down Main Street he saw his friends, the Carpenter, the Smith, the Barber and the Gardner deep in conversation. They were discussing his Royle highness who that Day had gone to the Wildes to shoot Lyons. They were becoming chilly as a slight Hayes was spreading itself over the meadows. They turned as the Baker approached and invited him to lunch with them. They ate some mush Mullens first and then ordered some Pye. As the Baker was eating his, his Silva tooth dislodged and fell out. He had experienced this loss once before as he was gaily singing a Carroll. He did not therefore, feel Mroz as it was not he but the dentist who was at Falt. He reached for his Stetson and left with the others. Once during the remainder of his ride he heard the Sweet song of the Nightingale and resolved to Friese his Hart against the oEending Cook. -The Dizzy Seven.
