We have never forgotten the fun we had in the Elm Hill Orchestra with Geraldine Irving at the piano, Emma Taylor with a violin, and Helen Miller behind a, trumpet. We shall never forget the fun at our Valentine's party. what a thrill it was to visit the Big Building at the time of the Fashion Show and Gym exhibition! Can we ever forget our last assembly when we bade good-bye to our classmates who were leaving us to attend the new Jeremiah E. Burke High School. The Sophomore year at the Main Building in 1934-35 found us still a divided class with several of our number at the Warren Annex. Under the spon- sorship of Miss Elizabeth Burns, we had a red-letter year! Our officers were: Pr:-sirlrnl Helen Miller Secretary Annie Strashun Vive I'rexideul Eleanor ltluntho Treuxurcr Dorothy Davison Because we did not like to have to walk down three long flights of stairs to see the bulletin board, we were the first class to establish our own on the third floor. We boasted of being the first Sopholnores to have class pins. We were first to be represented in the Enterprise by the Sophomore Taliler. Can we ever forget our squash teams' competitions, or our early morning Tennis Club? Our Sophomore Dramatic Club was a definite success. Our Junior year in 1935-36 found us a unified class of four hundred strong. Miss Williams was our sponsor and our otlicers were: Presidenl Helen Miller Seeralary Hilda Mandell Vive Prenidenl Muriel Stone Treasurer Helen Lcvey Our first big job as Juniors was to decorate the reception room with Christ- mas trimmings. .I uniors were candy sellers at the Scholarship Play, also. Another important event in which we took part that year was the Seniors' Graduation. The Juniors were ushers. The class also sponsored a class song contest which was won by one of the Junior home rooms. We Juniors, with hlartha Mctter in the lead, started a Current Events Club. We had a Baby Party at which prizes for the funniest, prettiest, and most original costumes were given. Hail to the Senior year! Grown-up sophistieates were we, and sitting on top of the school. Under the guidance .of Miss Thomas we had a gala year! What a grand set of ofiicers! Prvxirlent Jane St. Martin Srerelary Hilda Mnndell X Vice Prexirlenl Muriel Stone Treasurer Josephine Scanlon 40 Shall we ever forget the impression of soft lighting, sweet music, and sway- ing couples-this was our Winter Prom. It was held at the Longwood Towers, and was very successfully managed by Blossom Izen and the Prom Committee. The dance was such a financial success that we were able to enrich our welfare fund by 3l375.00! Then came the crowning event of the season+tl1e Scholarship Play, The 'l'orchhearers, by George Kelly, starring: Betty Gordon Margaret Mercer Eleanor Cohen Rena Kosky Ruth Rogofl' Margaret Dowd Marguerite Lennon Evelyn Birnbaum , Lillian Cohen Ruth Feldman Irene Singer Mae Toy The play was very successfuly coached by Mrs. Whitehouse. The stage and property managers were Teresa Guodstein and Priscilla Israel. We were very proud of the financial results-851005.35 to the good! Who was the weary Senior who worked far into the night setting up dummy copies of the Enterprise? Why, don't you know? Muriel Stone, our Editor-in- Fhief! Who was that harrassed looking person who raced along the corridor with a worried expression between her eyes? My dear! That was Lillian Pollack, our Year Book lidilor-in-C'hief, ami those brave girls who helped here were: Anne Rabinowich Charlotted Zaltzman Eleanor Cohen Teresa Goodstein Ruth Rogoff Lillian Monson Teresa Hines Priscilla Israel How quickly the year has drawn to a close! Now comes class day, our Year Book, and-GRADUATION ! What pleasant memories have the Class of 1937, on looking back over the years at Memorial! We wish to thank Miss Dickson, our beloved headmaster, Miss Thomas, our class sponsor, and all the other members of the facility for their advice, encouragement, and sincere understanding. We shall never forget you, and are grateful to you all! Now for the flower garden rewards! Roses to our Class Day Committee and to Lois Hunter fshe's been asking for flower decorationsj, perhaps our contributions will help. G ardenias to Charlotte Zaltzman and the Commencement Prom Committee. Tulips to our Hnlerprixc Art Editor, Edythe Levine. Lilacs to Teresa Goodstein, our eflieient business manager. Laurels to Ella MacDonald, our class pianist, and to Josephine Scanlon ami Betty Gordon, our song birds. Bushels and bushels of orchids to .lane St. Martin, the grandest Senior President a class ever had! Helen F. Miller 41 CLASS WILL lVe, the graduating class of 1937, being of sound mind, fat least we think sol do hereby certify this noteworthy document to be our last Will and Testament. As we shall soon cease to function as a class.and once again assume the roles of individuals, we submit to our feelings, and distribute all our worldly goods to our dearly beloved whom we must leave behind. We leave all our debts, honest and otherwise, to posterity,-and may they someday be collected. We have a few remnants of our four-year career which we bequeath to the following individuals: To Miss Dickson, the grandest principal, and most understanding person we have ever met, we leave our inexpressible gratitude and love. To Miss Thomas, we leave a hope,-a hope that springs eternal that next year the Scholarship Play will be advertised throughout the country as the most colossal, spectacular, super-production ever presented by Roxbury Memorial High School. ' NVc fulfill Miss Corkey's desire and present her with REAL DESKS for her office practice room! We also deed tu the gracious lady a large and beautifully urnamented safe in which the class dues of our successors may be comfortably lodged. In a sympathetic mood we leave our condolences and a few aspirin tablets to Mr. Conway. May we add a word of wisdom- Don't ever worry about the Erzlerpriseg it always turns out all right. When music is in the air, we think of Mr. Tierney. To him we bequeath one perfectly good set of vocal chords with the hope that he may find someone with the intelligence to use them. In view of the optimistic future, we leave to Miss McBride a unique class of determined girls not one of whom is undecided concerning her future. We have here a beautifully bound, leather-covered edition entitled The What's and Wherefore's of the Social Security Act. This goes to Mr. Dullea. To Miss Palm we say, Gee whiz, we aint got nuttin to give ya, so we'll juss say dat we tink yor swell! Oh, are we blushing! Miss Anthony is left the latest style in bugs, streamlined and chromium- plated. We hope the girls wonit be too squeamish about dissecting them. Miss Greany is hereby informed that we leave her a class with photographic minds upon which may be permanently imprinted page after page of Muzzey's History. To Miss Bishop we leave a class of non-loquacious, non-dilatory girls. With our blessings, Mrs. Jennings receives sound-proof doors for the front of the assembly hall so she ean't hear the boys' lusty Cor rustyj singing. If a stray box of chocolate-covered peppermints and a bottle of milk should happen to be about, they are left to a Mr. S - - th, one gentleman whose Weakness we know. To the entire faculty, we say, Thank you for lighting the torch of knowledge. We will carry it high and bear it proudly. General Awards: First and foremost, at great cost to us and much worry on the part of the Governing Council, we leave to each and every desk in LH, one tightly-screwed, self-filling inkwell. We bequeath to that belittled and mis- 42 understood group affectionately called Fish, even though they should be called Freshmen, our cherished map of the school. As we have only one, we ask that each Freshman buy a Memorial Handbook, 10c. We are not the advertis- ing managers nor are we trying to enlarge the sales: we are merely trying to help you. You have no idea how it simplifies the situation. Perhaps you might lend it to some needy Sophomores.

The cause of the malady, as diagnosed by Dr. Lil- lian Pollack, scientific ex- pert, was the feeding of the wrong tlavor dog biscuit. As Miss Levey was the only one that. had access to the dog's supplies, she is held on charges of attempt. to kill. The tragedy occurred in the midst of a large gathering of celebrities at one of the Saturday afternoon musicales held at the Snipplethwaite resi- dence. Among the artists performing were: Miss Jo- sephine Scanlon, Metro- politan Opera diva, ae- colnpanied by Miss Ella MacDonald: Evelyn Birn- baum, pianist, recently returned from a successful continental tour: and her friend and colleague, Ber- nice Rogers.

PROSECUTION IN DOG CASE OPENS TRIAL First Day of Trial Finds Crowded Courtroom May lti, QE. l'.J-l'rv- siding Judge Anna Tum- 44 ulty today found it neces- sary lo call to order repeatedly a disrupted courtroom. The source of the disturbance was found to be the con- tinuous giggling of a spectator, Mildred tYatts. Policewoman Shirley illic- senfcld on attempting to quiet her. discovered her to be more than she could handle. The interrup- tion was settled when policewoman ltuth ltogotl' carrie to her fcllow's de- fense and quieted Mildred by brute force. Capable clerk Teresa Goodstein, swore in the witnesses. The first of these, Prof. Muriel Stone, was asked to testify for the plaintiff by her attorney Margaret Mercer, representing that firm of steadfast, honest emincce, Mercer, Mercer, and Mercer lne. Miss Stone, as the country-'4 foremost dogpsychologist, stated: What America needs is the abolition of all such foul creatures as dog-poisoners! The glib defense attorney, Geral- dine Hotfnxan, for once had nothing to say. The next witness, Emma Tay- lor, Spanish student and protege of the plaintiff, asserted that she had often been disturbed while studying in her garret by the continuous yelping issuing from the cruelly treated dog. This testi- mony was further sup- plemented by the com- ment of Eleanor Coyle. authorof How toStudy, who said: Any creature capable of allowing any- thing to interfere with the studies of a scholar is worthy of the most dastardly crime! Court was recessed at this point. Among the notables leav- ing the crowded court- room wcre: Jean Audle- man, assistant business manager of the Euirrpriav Press: Rena llertolueci, noted philosopher: Shirley Abramson and Geraldine Irving, stars of musical comedy: Etta Katz, win- ner of the title Ainerica's most sophisticated debu- tanteg' Elizabeth Sulli- van, prominent society sportswoman. The court will convene tomorrow for its third exciting day. PRESIDENT'S MESS- AGE CAUSES FUROR IN COURT May 19, QE. l'.j-Jane St. Martin, first woman president of the United States, expressed her cou- doleuces for the catastro- phe through her secretary. lflhcl Levey. Such u sumshing of precedent was indeed reason for riot, The telegram was received by clerk Good- stein, who, by disclosing its contents, created such at havoc thot Judge Tulu- ulty was forced to ad- journ the court. ii SURPRISE WITNESS TURNS TABLES Levy Acquitted May 20, QE. P. 1-The ae uittul of Helen Levey toilay spelled fiuis to thc spectacular dog-poisoning triul. Eleanor Cohen, dog etymologist, called upon to testify for the proseeus tion, was responsible for the surprise action. Miss Cohen, lost in her own loquacity and eloquence, let loose the fatal words which scaled her doom. Asked when she first encountered the defense- less victim, she rasped: 'l'hc thoughtless pup atc the manuscript of my new and invuluablc dog die- tionaryf' This malignant attitude toward the dog astounded the prosecution and brought the defense to its feet. By n series of clever interrogntions, the d e f en s e conclusively proved the innocence of the misjudgeel, long-suf- fering maid, and the guilt. ofthe culprit. The motive was obviously revenge on the mnnuscript-eating dog. Additionnl excite- ment was afforded by two of our better sob sisters, Tercsn Hines, feature writ- er und caption editor, and Anne Rabinowich who complements her daily column with clever cari- catures of current head- liners. They undoubtedly wished to substantiate their unbroken motto: Enterprise Press-First to get news, first to print news, first to leave it on your front porch!

' The council officers were: Prcsidenl Anna Tumulty Vina President Julia Frank Secretary Helen Miller Treasurer Blossom Izen !7lmir'nzon QI' the House Helen Sullivan Induction Day exercises were held on December 8, 1036. It was a very im- pressive ceremony. An acquaintance party was given to the Freshmen by thc Students' Associa- tion on February 15. Miss Shea coached two plays, Solemn Pride, and The Bargain Hunter for entertainment at this purty. Besides furnishing refreshments nt the Freshman Party the council gave 810.00 for an advertisement in the Scholarship Play Program book, and at Christ- mas they sent 310.00 to Caney Creek School. Anna Tumulty and Helen Miller represented Memorial at a board of direc- tors' meeting of the Associated Councils of Massachusetts, held at Hotel Bancroft, YYorcester on March 6. At the convention of the Eastern Division of Associated Student Councils at Arlington High, May 8, the school was represented by Hilda Mandell, Char- lotte Zaltzman, Jane St. Martin, Helen Miller, Anna Tumulty, Julia Frank, and Ruth Potash. We were represented at the State Convention, held at New Bedford High, May 15, by Jane St. Martin, Helen Miller, and Betty Weiner. We feel that we have completed a very successful year. Helen F. Miller Secretary of Governing Council 50 SENIOR COUNCIL The Senior Council is the chief governing body ol' the Senior Class as a whole. Its membership consists of the: President Jane St. Martin Vice President Muriel Stone Srcreiarics Hilda Mandell Teresa Goodstcin Treasurer Josephine Scanlon and also, at representative and deputy from each Senior homc room. The business this body transaets is concerned entirely with the graduating class. It is the Senior Council that decides what and when the Scholarship Play shall beg it designates how and for what purposes dues of the Senior Class shall be used. ln fact, all affairs, events, and business ol' the Senior Class full into the lmnds ol' this very enpuble and well chosen group, the Senior Council. 51 l THE EVENTS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class has had a year teeming with interesting activities. With the help of the other class officers, and the cooperation of the class as a whole, our first party, held on Thursday, January 21, was a great success, Entertain- ment was provided by various talented girls of our class. Betty Weiner our Vice President, acted as mistress-of-ceremonies. Following the entertainment, we were served delicious refreshments in the lunch-room. The party was con- cluded by dancing in the Gymnasium. On May 28 we had our Baby Party. Again various girls displayed their talents. A play entitled, Sceing's Believing was presented under the direction of Miss McLaughlin. Additional entertainment was afforded by the contestants in thc baby costume contest. lVe were served refreshments, and thus ended another glorious day. The selecting of our class ring was quite an event in itself. We finally came to the decision that a littlc, rounded checker-board onyx was the ideal one for our class. At Christmas time, it has always been the work of the Juniors to decorate the school. After a few nights of hard but interesting work, we were able to present to the school a touch of Yuletide spirit. The Christmas tree, which stood inside the Townsend Street entrance was a special treat to all who viewed it. Our class had the pleasant duty of making and selling candy at the Scholar- ship Play. I know the candy was good, and our customers were pleased. We were proud of our donation of 347.15 to the Senior Class for the Scholarship fund. We wish to express our gratitude to our sponsor, Miss Williams, whose cheer- ful help has been so valuable to us all. . Dorothy Foundas, Junior Class President 52 THE SOPHOMORE CLASS In November, 1936, the Class of 1939 officially made its debut by the elec- tion of its officers. The results were as follows: President Ruth V. Freeman Vice Presideni J. Patricia Marsh Secretary Mary G. Harrington Treasurer Marie McKay Gorcrnirig Cmmcilors Barbara McCarran Kathleen Collins Three months later, the Sophomores held their first party in the Assembly Hall. At this social function the new Sophomore Dramatic Club presented its first play. Some of our hidden talent was brought to light. A song contest, held in April, was won by Miriam D. Krasow who wrote new lyrics to the tune of Oh Snzannulif' To sum up our year's activities a farewell party was given in May at which the Hood's Milk Company showed moving pictures. And now June is here. We have elected officers for our Junior Year and we are waiting patiently to move down to the second floor. We are leaving our Sophomore Year with many pleasant memories and looking forward to a happy Junior Year. 58 THE ENTERPRISE When we members of the new Enterprise staff began work on the November issue. it was with a rather hazy idea of the procedure. The editors had to learn about galleys, dummy copies, deadlines, and many other necessary evils. It is a pity that as soon as a stali' becomes really experienced it must hand the work on to a new group. Very conspicious this year was the absence of our beloved Aunt Matilda, who used to contribute a column of expert advice on all sorts of questions. Luck- ily, Serephina Senior agreed to pinch-hit for Aunty with a series of letters to Susie Sophomore. VVc hope that next year her words of wisdom will be written not only for the benefit of the Sophomores, but will include information for the entire school. Much comment was caused by the publication of excerpts from the Senior's autobiugraphies. It became the favorite indoor sport to guess from whose life each of the scattered paragraphs was taken. Sometimes the style could be recog- nized: in other eases girls knew the incidents which were describedg but the identity of the writers is still a mystery. This feature proved a very popular addition to the magazine. For the literary success of the Enierprise this year we thank all our contri- butors, and the faculty advisors whose encouragement and wisdom make it possible. We hope tnat Mr. Conway, Miss Pope, Miss Gale, and Mr. Smith will be rewarded for their patience by an ever-improving magazine. 54 THE WOULD-BE TEACHERS CLUB President Eva Pasquale Vice Presidrni Frances Jones Srfcreiury Eugenia Owens Treasurer Nettie Hunt Sponsors- Miss Mary Antonia Mclnnis Miss Arsene Cressilov The W, B. T. C. welcomes to its membership all seniors who plan to teach and some seniors who have not definitely determined upon a teaching career. Each member of the club is required to read the life of a great teacher. This year the members read The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer, and discussed the story of Good-bye Mr. Chips for the charm of its delineation of a delightful teacher. Miss Sophia Palm, our English teacher, and Dr. Mary Cadigan, a teacher of English at Jeremiah E. Burke High School, spoke to us of their experiences as students for a year at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. The contrast which they offered to each other and the greater contrast which both offered to American university life fascinated the girls. In March we had a. tea for members and were honored by the presence of Miss Dickson, our headmaster, and Miss Ellen Greany. At the May Tea we welcomed our old members who were at Teachers Col- lege. The program for this tea was a Kindergarten observance at which Miss Mary Shute, professor at Teachers College gave the address. Plans for a club attendance at the Pops and a June picnic were made in May. The club members regret leaving the club and its activities. Tliey wish the organization success in future years and hope that it will influence the girls to become interesting, capable, and noble teachers. 55 CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club is on the road up. Though only two years old, it has already accomplished n great deal. Among our activities are lectures and informnl discussions on world affairs, which sometimes develop into debates. Through this club, the members are enlightened as to current events at home and abroad. For example, two of our lectures were concerned with Present Day Spain and Social Security. We have an interesting bulletin hoard of our own on which are posted the events of the week. The club is divided into two divi- sions: Junior and Senior. The Senior officers are as follows: Prexidenl, Martha Mctterg Secretary, Evelyn Birnbaum: Treasurer, Hope Weisentaner. The Junior ofiicers are as follows: President, Lilliun Zahkag Sec-relnry, Sara Kuntrovitzg Treasurer, Ann Sternherg. We are proud to announce that the club has grown so quickly that it has been neccssury to use one of the largest rooms in the school for our meetings. We wish to express our sincere thanks to our able sponsor, Miss Burns, to whose efforts u large pnrt of this success is due. Evelyn Birnbaum, Senior Secretary 56 THE SERVICE CLUB Sponsor Miss Bllllllfd President Edith Moskin Secretory-Trmsurer Marion Nathan The Service Club of Roxbury Memorial High School lms made gifts for the many hospitals of Boston. During the Christmas vacation this club supplied the childrens' wards of the Boston City Hospital, Childrens' Hospital, and countless others, with toys and games. Our service also extended to our little neighbors in our own school family. We have received many letters from those in charge of the childrens' wards in the many hospitals, telling us of the shrieks of joy that filled the air on Christ- mas morning when bright eyes looked up and saw hanging on the bed-post the long-awaited stocking, bursting its sides with gifts from Suntu Claus. This is why we, the members, serve earnestly and long, to lighten for just one moment the sufferings of these afflicted children. The impulse to serve others is inherent in most of us, but before we cnn ex- press the best that is in us in any form of service, we must have a training to develop that spirit of willingness-for-service. The Service Club of Roxbury Memorial High School is liberal and broad in its interests-an organization which provides opportunities for character growth and friendship through a program of recreational work and service for others. 57 THE GLEE CLUB The Roxbury Memorial Glee Club is directed by our excellent music in- structor, Mr. Daniel Tierney, who was assisted, in 1937, by Miss Mae Toy, the secretary. Until two years ago, the Glee Club gave spring concerts in Jordan Hall, but as the club has grown very small, this practice has been discontinued. Dur- ing 1937, the Glee Club has given several small concerts. The members have sung at school assemblies on important occasions, such as the celebration of Thanks- giving Day, Christmas, and Memorial Day. At Thanksgiving the Club sang, Thanks be to God. At Christmas, the Glee Club took part in the play, sing- ing well-known carols. In this play, some of the members sang behind scenes, while others took part in the play, acting as monks. In honor of Memorial Day, the Glee Club sang 4'Where My Caravan Has Itestedf' The Glee Club sang twice for the Home and School Association. Dur- ing 1937, with the aid of Miss Dickson and Mr. Tierney, something new has been inaugurated to the school. The girls of R. M. ll. S. have been allowed to have community singing in the assembly hall. The club soloists, Anne Sternberg, Elaine Mavromates, Florence Johnson, Josephine Scanlon, Sylvia Goldman, and Margaret Cooks have sung for the school at these song-fests. The announcers for the Glee Club have been Priscilla Israel and Helen llraunstein. Other songs the Glee Club has sung are: Old Nag Ned, i'The Magnet and the Churn, The Chinese Lullaby, Comes A Train of Little Ladies, QFrom the Mikado j Murianina, Silent Moon, The Last Rose of Summer. The members of the Glee Club have enjoyed meeting each Thursday after- noon, and those who ure leaving the school wish the future Glee Club success and good luck. 58 THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra of Roxbury Memorial High School for Girls, directed by the baton ul' Mr. Joseph Trongoue, furnishes our school with all the fine music that we have at assemblies and other school activities. It is a comparatively small body, consisting of first and second violins, two cellos, a saxophone, a flute, a horn, a trumpet, drums, cymbals, bells, and, last but not least, a piano. We have in addition an excellent xylophone player who has entertained us on several occasions with her wonderful presentations. The orchestra rehearsals are held every Monday afternoon in the Band Room. Here we spend an enjoyable and profitable hour developing our talents and improving our teachnique on our respective instruments. Our extensive collection of pieces boasts selections of many diH'erent types, from many different countries. We play not only marches, but also waltzes, dances, and songs. The Tango, or La Cumparsitaf' for example, is a Spanish dance, and The Bohe- mian Girl is, as its title suggests, a song of Bohemia. Our favorite marches seem to be the Inauguration March, The Washington Post March, Pump and Circuinstnnccf' which is a part of our Induction Program, and the Priests' March for our graduation. At the Scholarship Play and at the Parents' Night of the Home and School Association our orchestra has demonstrated its skill and ability. It has progressed rapidly and its members have gained much from the rehearsals. Under the very able direction of Mr. Trongone, we have established n. reputation worthy to be retained. Emma Taylor 59 DEBATING CLUB If there's a search on for good debates look no further than our school, be- cause the cream of the debating crop is right here in Memorial, in the form of the Debating Club under the able management of Miss Scott. These ambitious girls have striven for good pointers on debating. 'l'heir attempts have not been in vain, because the year has proved to be a very successful one. Our iirst debate was an inter-school debate on the subject, Resolved that report cards should be abolished. .Our later debates were held on the question, Resolved that the government should take over public utilities. The aflirmative team composed of Ellen Mercer, Anne Lazarus, and Patricia Cadigan, debated with Revere High School in a non-decision debate. Our nega- tive team composed of Beatrice Kooperstein, Lillian Siegal, and Gladys Klitz- man debated with Girls' High School. Even our Sophomores are enthusiastic about Debating and have u team composed of Patricia Marsh, Sylvia Adelson, and Mary Harrington, who debated with Girls' Latin School Sophomores. We have had our playtime too, in the form of various parties and a tea for Revere High School. We have had our regular club activities. The recently elected oflieers are: Prcsidcrzt Patricia Cadigan Vice President Geraldine Klein Secretary Ellen Mercer Treasurer Gladys Klitzman Press Ageni Lucille Landau The club has just selected its pins and has formed s. record book of its im- portant activities. All good things must come to an end and so ends the year of 1936-1937 for the Debating Club. A hearty wish is extended that next season's members may have just as interesting u year as did this year's members. 60 EUREKA SCIENCE CLUB The Eureka Science Club, under the able sponsorship of Mr. R. B. Delmno, spent a very enjoyable and successful season. The club officers for 1986-1937 were: President Lillian Rosenberg Viva President Shirley Wiesenfeld Sfcrclory Hilda Cohen Treasurer Lillian Cohen Program ffmn millee Shirley Abramson Celia DeChieco Ruth Feldman The activities of the club included one meeting and one trip a month. The main features of our meetings were speakers from the various colleges in and around Boston. Our field trips included visits to the East Boston Airport, the Harvard Observatory, a television studio, and several broadcasting stations, We celebrated the end of the club year with a camera walk to the Arnold Arboretum. A party held at the school in May was the enjoyable climax of a well spent season. Lillian Rosenberg, President A 61 RED CROSS CLUB Each school has two representatives to the Red Cross, a Junior and a Senior. It is the duty of these girls to organize, with the aid of the faculty, a regular club at which the Senior presides, while the Junior acts as vice-president. Our club is sponsored by Miss Griffin, and its officers arc: Presidenl Helen Miller Vice Prrxidenl Ora London Treasurer Shirley 'llH,Hll6lllJ8.llIH Secretary Teresa Goodstein Every large city in our country has a Red Cross Chapter housc. Ours occupies a lovely, old-fashioned building on Commonwealth Avenue. It is here that every month thc Boston Red Cross Council holds its meetings. Every President and Vice President of every Boston school club reports to these meet- ings. This year the club has been represented by Helen Miller and Ora London. It is also from this group that one lucky one is elected by contest to represent thc stutc of Massachusetts at the National Convention each year. Helen Miller won the contest of last year and was sent to the Chicago, Illinois convention of May, 1936. The school club and Boston Council keep in close contact. Each helps the other. This year our own club has contributed money for flood relief, enlarged tho welfare fund, and sent Christmas presents to children who had to spend their holidays in hospitals. We have made scrap books, sent home-made cookies to the men in veterans' hospitals, sewed rag dolls, and reclaimed old books and toys. VVe have had a splendid year. Hear, O Ye Seniors, Juniors, Sophomorcs, and Freshmen of tomorrow, we do heeseeeh you to make the Club's future even more successful! Helen Miller, President 82 THE GUIDANCE CLUB The Guidance Club, under the able direction of Miss MacBride, started its year of activities with the election of the following officers: President Edith Moskin Vice Presidenl Helen Miller Secretary Anna Tumulty Our program consisted of the following speakers: October 19-Miss Klaus, head of the Home Economics Department, spoke on The Field of Home Economics.

VVe, of the Guidance Club, sincerely hope these lectures have helped our girls in choosing their future work. Edith Moskin, President 63 THE ART CLUB President Ethel Chase Vice President Miriam Goldberg Secretory Mae Benjamin Treasurer Evelyn VVheeler The Art Club, sponsored by Miss Hicks, has had a very definite purpose. It is to promote an interest and an appreciation for worthwhile art. To accom- plish our purpose, we have visited different art exhibits, copied the works of great artists, and derived helpful hints from their work. Among the exhibits we have seen this year are paintings by Luigi Luciani, stained glass windows by Counick, Museum pieces, work done by students in the Massachusetts School of Art, work done by students in the School of Practical Art, and work exhibited in the Y. W. C. A. building. Under the able guidance of Miss Hicks we have progressed rapidly. VVe have done work in charcoal, pastel, pen, and pencil. The result has been a large number ol' head drawings, still-life groups, animal drawings, portrait work, and many other types, all of which have appeared in our Art Club exhibition. We have done much work on the stage in preparation for plays, such as painting, remodeling, and renovating. Signs and posters have also been made by the mem- bers to advertise the different plays and entertainments of the school. Due to our excellent sponsorship, the willingness and helpfulness of our members, and the growing interest in art, the Art Club is now une of the best and most interest- ing clubs in the school. 64 TRAVEL CLUB Under the able sponsorship of Miss Cutter, thc Travel Club consisting of about thirty girls, spent an instructive and entertaining season. Our officers were: Svcrclnry Jeanette Shaller Treasurer Mamie Feingold Our main event of the year was an imaginary trip around the world, of which we kept a record in the form of notebooks. In these wc kept our passports, tickets, itineraries, and pictures and articles concerning the countries we visited. We derived much enjoyment and valuable information from our Chinese and Japanese entertainments, at which plays were presented which acquainted us with the costumes and customs of the Orient. Our actual traveling was done in Boston, when we visited the Christian Science Publishing House and saw the lnaporium and also when we accompanied the Eureka Science Club to the Harvard Observatory. We have profited greatly this year by our membership in the Travel Club. 65 SOPHOMORE DRAMATIC CLUB The Sophomore Dramatic Club, under the leadership of Miss Matson, can look hack on a very successful year. The newly organized club made its debut at the Sophomore Party on January 29, when The Trysting Place hy Booth 'Parkington was presented. At another entertainment, a burlesque of Julius Caesar entitled Great Caesar amused the audience. It has been the aim of the club to give each girl an opportunity to appear in at least one production and to participate in choral reading. The officers of the Sophomore Dramatic Club for 193651937 are: President J. Patricia Marsh Vice Presidewzl Ruth Freeman Secretary Mary Harrington Treasmer Katherine Fennel We give special thanks to Mildred Cullen, Jean Bulafkin, Cynthia Johnson, and Miriam Nutlick, Junior coaches, for their assistance in making the Sopho- more,Dramatic Club a success. J. Patricia Marsh, Przrsidcni 66 Scholarship Play Induction Day of Governing Council 67 THE SENIOR-JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB The Thcspians of the Junior and Senior classes have completed a very sue- cessful season-a whole year filled with educational value as well as pleasure. To promote our knowledge of the drama itself, several persons from Emerson College have spoken to us on the art of makeup, voice culture, and the like. Our biggest dramatic presentation of the year was the Christmas play entitled, Why the Chimes Rang! Who can ever forget the youthful innocence of Ruth ltogoii' as Holyeri the kind God-fearing lad? Teresa Hines' interpretation of the Sister of Charity, disguised as an old woman, was worthy of note. Another of our pro- ductions wns Help Yourself which was put on by the Junior members for their party. Much of the talent for the Scholarship Play was contributed by our members. I'rexi1lm1t Sylvia Padovitz Vice Presideul Ruth liogoff Scerclary Bernice Pollock Treasurer Cliarlottc Zaltzman All the members of the club wish to express their hearty thanks to Miss McLaughlin for her untiring work which helped make our year a successful one. THE SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club meets in room 119 and spends a good deal of the time allotted to it in training for radio work. Oh no, we don't expect to broadcast, at least not this year. But many of us have short wave radios and although we listen to eloquent Spanish caballeres appealing to our reason and emotions we are not qnife sure that we understand the full importance of their message. The victrola that we use in our club is kinder than the radio because it is willing to go back and repeat so that we finally succeed in understanding the entire message. We find that we are improving, and soon we expect to understand General Franco him- self, should he find the opportunity of reaching the American audience. The club doesn't spend all its time in this way. Sometimes Miss Loughran, our sponsor, tells us of her travels in Spain and Mexico, and of thc Spaniards and Mexicans she has met, who are doing splendid things for their countries and the worldg we learn of present day trends in literature and art with which we can't Gnd time to become acquainted during class hours. Pan American Day, April 14, was celebrated in the school with the help of the Spanish Club. While Miss Loughran spoke to the Senior Assembly, club members visited Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior home rooms and told ol' the importance which our government attaches to knowledge and understanding of Latin American peoples, their culture, history, and language, and of the effort our State Department is making to achieve understanding and friendship among all American nations. The committee in charge of choosing the speakers for Pan American Day and of arranging the program were the following: Winnifred States, 203g Roslyn Rayner, 2075 Alice Reilly, 2113 Mary Begee, 317, Barbara. MCC8.YT6h, S174 Nancy Patriquin, 320, and Marie McCay, 320. 68 THE LATIN CLUB C'rescat scienlia-Let knowledge increasefl Jllagixter fPresidentl Adele C. Frank Scriptor CSecretaryJ Rosalie Cohen Quaestor CTreasurerD Beverly Richards Scriba fPress Agentj Mildred Weinstein President Martha Metter Secretary Evelyn Birnbaum Treasurer Hope lVeisentaner The Latin Club, or the Viatrices QTrave-lersl as it is more commonly known to its members, is a newly organized group. As our surname suggest, we are Travelers led by our interesting guide and sponsor, Miss Bishop, who recalls her own thrilling experiences and takes our minds through distant lands. As we visit modern Rome, Greece, Sicily, and other places ol' interest, we realize more fully that Latin, sometimes called a dead language, is very much alive, and that those remote lands were inhabited over two thousand years ago by people very much like us. How alluring are these ancient countries, and how fascinating to the willing minds of an attentive audience! We are also given glimpses of the artistic poems of Virgil. As Miss Bishop reads to us, We are held by the poetic beauty of these descriptive works. It is indeed with a great deal of anticipation and pleasure that we look forward to the near future when we shall become fully acquainted with the tales to which we are now being introduced. Our membership is restricted this year to third-year Latin students, but while every one ui' our twenty odd fellow Travelers bears with her an ardent zeal for Latin and the beckonings of ancient lands, it is indeed evident that club spirit is present. Our meetings are held in Miss Bishop's friendly room, which seems to lose its classroom appearance, and take on the form of a cozy meeting-place for mutu- ally interested Latin-students, desirous of taking in every word that drops from the lips of our dear sponsor. Adele C. Frank, '38 Mildred Weinstein, '38 CHESS CLUB Do you know that our school boasts a club dedicated solely to the ancient, aristocratic game of chess? Under the able guidance of Miss Forrest and Miss Reardon, we have spent many hours playing this game, which, we feel, is both interesting and beneficial. During the season we have held tournaments in which our players showed their skill and competitive spirit. This years' officers were: President Helen Roche Secreiary Sara Kantrovitz Treasurer Norma Rosenfield For the future, we plan to have speakers give us more information about this, our favorite game. We look forward with glnd anticipation to our annual picnic, with which we shall end the school year. 60 A utographs Aim zijn M2415 Jw 7571 QWwQ mx 077 My J4sJ0, Wig Miz? ffhfwfffw-M awww A. 2 Au-egg, Z - -fu!! c!1s7a7 , 1 -,fz4,14,0..,..f-- ' Sfffallzf 7f41.,z3,uf.lD.
