CHARLES H. HUBBARD Whose standards of tolerance, symp thy and understanding F th eeds ol youth have set F t sple d d example ol valor and t th A History of Pratt High School f 1892-1942, Fifty years ago in Essex the rivalry among the various churches was much more pro- nounced than it is today. The chief participants of this conflict were the Baptist and Con- gregational Churches. So keen was the competition that its influence .extended beyond re- ligious concerns and affected, among other things, the educational system of the town. The only school in Essex at that time which could be placed in the secondary class was Hill's Academy, owned and administrated by the Baptists. That the Baptists domi- nated anything, let alone a school to which they sent their children, irked all the Con- gregationalists and Captain Isaiah Pratt in particular. Captain Pratt decided to remedy this situation by placing an additional clause in his will. It was not until his death in 1892 and the subsequent probation of his will that the townspeople became aware of the Captain's action. He had left a trust fund for the erection and maintenance of a school of higher education which was to be called PRATT HIGH SCHOOL. A board of trustees was also named to administer the fund under the chairmanship of Dr. Hubbard, the leading doctor in the community, and one of its ablest citizens. And last, but not least, the will stipulated that only those children whose parents were members of the First Congregational Church of Essex might attend this school. Upon learning of this clause, Dr. Hubbard told the court that unless the terms of the will could be interpreted Very liberally he would have nothing to do with it, because he felt that any enterprise of this sort should be for the benefit of everyone and not just a select few. The local court appealed the case to the State which said that in interpreting a will, the court should only suppose that the maker had it in mind to make the best possible use of the means at his disposal. As only four OT five children would have been eligible to attend such a school, the state ruled that the clause under contest should be disregarded, but that each student whose parents were not Congregationalists must pay tuition. With this matter settled, Dr. Hubbard felt free to carry out the terms of the will. The first problem was to select a site for PRATT HIGH SCHOOL. The Trustees finally chose the lot at the corner of West Avenue and Grove Street, which had formerly been owned by Captain Pratt. The architect for the original building is believed to have been Charles E. Pratt, whose father was a member of the Board of Trustees. The plans specified that the school was to be built entirely of granite, but due to unforeseen additional expenses the second story of the building was made of wood. The two rooms which now comprise the Homemaking department were the main part of the original school. Later on, the second floor was finished off and rented to the town to be used as a grammar school until the completion of the town's own grammar school building in l907. Mr. Walter Foster was engaged by the Trustees as the first principal and teacher, and PRATT HIGH SCHOOL held its initial session in September, 1892 with a total enroll- ment of ten students. During these first years it was not easy for the new school to keep going partly be- cause of the general lack of interest in the town for high school education and also be- cause many townspeople did not wish to send their children to a school whose founder had been a bit narrow minded. It was due to Dr. Hubbard's able direction of the .school finances in those first years that PRATT is still in existence today. In 1903 Mr. Ernest M. Libby, who is now the president of the Board of Trustees, ac- cepted the principalship at PRATT. The Trustees had long had it in mind, as the funds 4 left by Captain Pratt were not sufficient to support the school, that some arrangement might be made between the town and the school whereby the town would appropriate a certain sum of money to the school each year to supplement the school treasury. In return for this financial aid the school would agree to accept as students, free of any tuition charge, all children whose parents were citizens of the town of Essex. In this way PRATT HIGH SCHOOL would serve as a town high school, although still under the jurisdiction of its own Board of Trustees. Mr. Libby, during his years at Pratt, developed this plan and was able to convince enough people of its benefits so that at a town meeting the plan was finally adopted and PRATT became the high school for the town of Essex, although in- corporated as a private school. Under this arrangement the enrollment increased rapidly and in l9l2 there were seventy-five students with a faculty of five. 1912 was an eventful year for PRATT: not only was its enrollment nearing the one hundred mark, but it was also in that year that PRATT had its big fire. The fire was caused by some defect in the heating system and the wooden second story of the school was completely destroyed. While the building was being repaired, school was held, iron- ically enough, in the old Hill's Academy building. During the principalship of Mr. Burdick, Miss May Ingham came to PRATT as the head of the English and Latin departments. She soon became a very important part of the school and was leader and advisor in many of its activities until her retirement in 1933. Miss Ingham was much beloved by all those who knew her and her many years of service to the school will long be remembered. After the World War the school steadily increased in size and it became apparent that in order to accommodate all those who wished to come to PRATT, the school would have to be enlarged. Mr. Richard Tiley, who was the president of the Board of Trustees at that time, was very much interested in modernizing the school and due largely to his efforts and influence a sum of 380,000 was taken from the endowment funds left by Cap- tain Pratt and used to rebuild the school. Upon the completion of these additions in 1925, PRATT had the best equipment of any school in this section. The new combination gym- auditorium not onlyg made possible an athletic program but also became of service to the town for various activities. This use of the school by the townspeople helped them to re- alize how important the welfare of PRATT was to the well-being' of the community, thus they voted that further yearly appropriations be given to the school for maintenance and other expenses. For the past fifteen years PRATT has grown immeasurably, not in enrollment, but in the courses that are now offered, in an extensive athletic program and extra-curricular activities. The curriculum has expanded from the English, Latin, history and algebra which were taught fifty years ago to the well-rounded college-preparatory, business and home economics program we now have. Athletics have come to be one of the most important activities in the school. Over the period of years in which PRATT has participated in inter- scholastic sports, not to have a championship of some sort has become the rare exception. But even more important than the victories are the grand sportsmanship and school spirit this program has developed at PRATT. In the field of extracurricular many clubs have been organized in which the students may further their interests in a variety of subjects. The present high standing of PRATT among other schools of its size in the country has been achieved primarily through the hard work of the Trustees, and the present principal, Mr. Alexander A. Mackimmie, not only in their selection of an excellent faculty but also in their planning of an educational program designed to prepare the young people of Essex for life in a democracy. 5 OSAGE Osage Board lst Row-Marguerite Young, Sally McCallip, Mrs. Ford, Edla Gannon. 2nd Row-Marian Daboll, Robert Nihill, Frank Bump, Henry Hollewedel, Allen Iewett, Donald Sangster, Lloyd Scholes, Mr. Mackimmie. The seniors of Pratt in 1930 desired to leave something worthwhile to the school as a lasting remembrance, Through the efforts of Mac and their own hard work they succeeded in publishing a year book tor the whole school to enjoy. The first issue was dedicated to Mac because oi his assistance in making the book possible. Dedications have since been made to other members of the faculty and this year we are proud to dedicate our book to Dr. Hubbard who gave so generously ot his time and goods to Pratt. The book was named the Osage in honor of the ship burned at Essex by the Eng- lish in 1814, the remains of which are still in the North Cove. OSAGE BOARD 1942 Asst. Photography Editor . .

Our Student Council was organized in l934. lt was created to take care of all school and social activities, such as traffic problems, assembly programs, etc. There are fourteen members: The president of each class automatically becomes a member. The members of each class elect a member or members as follows: Seniors 2, luniors 2, Sophomores l, and Freshmen 1.Then the faculty choose members as follows: Seniors 2, Iuniors l, and Sophomores l. The council has followed the system used in Bacon Academy so successfully. The principal has the power of veto but has used this power only twice since the council started functioning. The present council has been the most active and efficient one to date. Among its accomplishments we number the new radio, the coke machine and more frequent afternoon dances. The members of this year's council are, Seniors: Sally McCallip, president: Frank Santi, vice-president, Marian Daboll, secretary-treasurer: Allen Iewett, and Roland Cook: luniors: Marion Hmielewski, Merritt Comstock, Patricia Mailliard and Genevieve Piantap Sophomores: Robert Potter, Florence Mook and Frank Riggiog Freshmen: Richard Hig- gins and Dorothy Zuppe.

The Pi Club, our honor society at Pratt, was organized in l93U by the faculty. The constitution is patterned after that of the National High School Honor Society. Election to this club is the highest honor awarded to students at Pratt. To be elected one must be in the upper titth of his class. He is then chosen by the faculty and rated on such qualities as character, sportsmanship, health and extra-curricular activities. Three Seniors, two Iuniors, and one Sophomore are elected each year. The faculty reserves the right to elect more than three Seniors if it seems titting. The students elected are awarded with a letter Pi, symbolic ot Pratt. The purpose ot this club is to encourage greater personal development in scholar- ship, health, service, character, and all 'round good citizenship . The present members of the club are: Sally McCa11ip, president, Marian Daboll, vice- presidentg Lloyd Scholes, secretary-treasurer: and Anne Toppin. 8 O S A G E Traffic Squad lst Row'-Albina I-Imielewski, Roland Cook, Andrew MacWhinney, Richard Drudi, Irma Spencer: 2nd How- Genevieve Pianta, Donald Sangster, Merritt Comstock, Marian Daboll, Kenneth Hayden, Edward Carlson, Frank Carr, Marguerite Young. First attempts at a traffic squad were made in 1932 on March 4, and the following week the squad was at work permanently. There were officials posted at each doorway and other intersections in the corridors. An immediate success, it eliminated confusion, noise, and saved time in passing from class to class. The rules are much the same as the rules of the road. At present the squad is appointed by a joint committee of the student council and the faculty. The committee also elects a leader for this squad, this year's captain being Roland Cook. They now have a system of giving tickets for offenses. When a student has received three tickets he must appear before the student council. Then, too, any tickets received count against the general home-room rating. This year the traffic squad was assigned the very important duty of evacuation of the building in case of an air-raid alarm. The traffic officers direct the deployment of the various groups. 9 O S A G E Trustees E Mr, Pelton Mr. Libby Mr. Ely The policies of Pratt High School are determined by a board of three trustees, composed of Mr. Ernest M. Libby, Mr. Albert Ely, and Mr Graham Pelton. The number of trustees is not fixed and at times there has been but one trustee. The trustees serve Without re- muneration because they whole-heartedly desire to help young people in this town by fur- thering their education. They are appointed by the judge of probate court, and are usually men prominent in town affairs and interested in public service. Among the things that our present board has accomplished are: The acquirement of Hubbard Field, the setting up of the Homemaking Department, the increase in faculty, and the adoption of free text-books in 1931. Much effort has been exerted in the past years to select teachers of high caliber and the best text-books available: the trustees now turn their attention to providing more commercial and science equipment and more books in our library. lt is to them that We owe our thanks for their untiring work in striving to make Pratt the best possible school for the young people of Essex. lO - - OSAGE Faculty ALEXANDER A.

VJ as ff? x j x f4'!Yf.v 1 Q Q. ,gift ' fl ---lOSAGE Class History On a bright sunshiny morn in September there trouped into Pratt forty- three green pupils, the class of '42! Timid and shy, we were models of courtesy and well-behaved youngsters. After getting acquainted, we elected class officers to guide us over the rough spots in our eventful year. Frank Santi as president, Frank Bump, the vice-president, Sally McCallip, our keeper of notes, and Lloyd Scholes, the purse holder, with Ward Johnson our Student Council representative, were those put into office to keep our course straight. The hurricane helped us out that year by cutting short our initiation with its unexpected calling card. Gaining confidence in ourselves, we were determined to become a class that would always be remembered, and promptly gave a Freshman dance, the first ever to be held! Ah, we were wonderful Freshmen! To be sure, we never came in first or even second in the cheering contests, but we did come in third in the first inter-class basketball games to be held, and the varsity teams were privileged to have some of our Freshmen join their ranks. Before we realized it, We were back for our Sophomore year, thirty-nine strong. Still a bit dewy behind the ears perhaps, but learning fast. Officers at the helm to steer us through the year were: president, Frank !again'?l Santi: vice-president, Charles Windy secretary, Sally McCallip7 treasurer, Frank Bump: council representatives, Andrew MacWhinney and Sally McCallip. We did fairly well this year: second place in the inter-class basketball tournament, third place in the volleyball matches, and first in Homeroom competition! Then there was our Sophomore Dance, a regular three-ring circus affair which was a huge success. Oh yes, we were learning fast! Coming back for our third year we promptly elected Frank Santi for a third term, and as we went, so went the nation! Vice-president was Ernest Cook: Sally McCallip, the penholder, treasurer, lane Clark, and representa- tives in Student Council, Roland Cook and Frank Bump. We started the ball rolling by giving a Harvest Dance in November and followed through with a stupendous Junior Assembly in May. An old-time melodrama en- titled The Great Sacrifice , made it an assembly which we were, and are, quite sure can never betoppedl Then came our Prom in May, and lastly the management of the Senior Reception. By this time our ears were prac- tically dry, you see, and we were whizzing along like mad on the road to dignity as Seniors. The momentous day had come! September, 1941! Twenty-eight Worldly Seniors entered the portals of Pratt, promising to anyone who would listen that this was to be a banner year. Sally McCallip, president, vice-president, Roland Cook: class scratcher, Iane Clark: treasurer, Lloyd Scholesp wisemen of the Council, Allen Iewett, Marian Daboll and Frank Santi were speedily voted into office. A super Osage board was elected, and we gave a profit- able whist to earn some folding money. Many of our class were outstanding in sports and in scholarship. We gave a not so financially merry Christmas Dance and a Senior Play, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court , ,to end all Senior plays! And now we stand ready to graduate with the honor of being the only class in ages to boast more boys than girls, the fair sex being outnumbered almost two to one. What, we wonder, does the outside world hold in store for us?

A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT This is the story of a guy named Hank, Who thought he was an engineer Cfresh out of college? and could play around with electrical apparatus and not get hurt. So he tries, and before he knows it he's been knocked back into the good old days of King Arthur's Court, when a man was a man, and wolves were four-legged animals. Before anyone can say what is it meaning Hank, he's taken over, and is running things a la moderne, with football, radio, television and aviation. Everything ends for the best, but tor a time things look pretty bleak for hen-pecked Arthur's kingdom, what with a quisling right smack in the middle of the family. CAST Hank Bennet ......

With only one tour-year veteran on a squad composed mostly ot Iuniors and Sopho- mores, Miss Evans did a remarkable job with the material at hand.
