To us, this magnificent edifice was like a stately castle of abundant interests and a veritable album of pleasure. ln every nook flourished art. lts inner structure, its exterior, and the wonder- ful outdoor surroundings of resplendent nature inspire us with admiration and appreciation of art. The walls, emblazoned with marvelous portraits depicting historical spots of beauty the world oler, delight us. Fittingly indeed was this building named for the generous gentleman who presented it to our town! We depart to the multitudinous callings of Destiny regret- ful to leave this source of vast happiness. Not only the actual building itself, but also the soul of the building, stirs us. Our noisy tread, our gleeful laughs, and our variously expressioned faces will be silent echoes and invisible spiritsg but the impressions of this handsome building will be vividly retained in our minds to infinity.

As the feminine adviser for three years, she has enthusiastically and whole- heartedly come forth to advise us in our various functions. We extend deep appreciation for efforts that will be remembered long after we leave the Edward F. Searles High School. JOHN A. BAGNELL Mr. Bagnell is one of the most ami- cable teachers We have met. His paternal understanding, good humor, and unstilted manner have bound us to a Warm friendship undeniably ad infnitum. We were not surprised the least bit when John-as We are inti- mately permitted to call him-was selected as the most popular instructor. His popularity and informality add greatly to the effectiveness of his teaching. Good luck to you, John, and many thanks for the pleasurable hours spent in your company!

Peggy . 45 4 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 Gllasa 7 iaiurg N a bright September morning of 1930, three young people trudged up Baptist Hill on their way to the Edward F. Searles High School, which was to be their place of learning for the next three years. Betty Lou, a very pretty girl, had waited all summer for this day to arrive. t'Oh! she said, I'm so glad l'm going to high school. ,lust think of the fun we're going to have! There'll be parties, dances, and no end of good times. I'm so thrilledli' Thrilled? Pooh! l'm not in the least bit concerned. put in Johnnie, an overgrown boy of fourteen. l'm only going because l have to. My mother wants to make me a successful business man. These women! 6'But think of the things you'll be able to do in high school, interrupted Bill, a somewhat studious lad. You can be a cadet. play on the baseball team, and honor both yourself and your school by running down the football field for a touchdown. You ought to think yourself lucky that you can come to high school. Your mother is right. lsnit it wise to have an educa- tion so that you may be better equipped for future competition in the world? There are plenty of our classmates of last year who wish they could be with us, but who havenit the chance. They have to go to work. Look at me: l'm not complaining. l want to learn all that I can, in preparation for college. By that time, they arrived at the entrance to the school. There they met other friends, whom they had not seen since June. Renewing acquaint- ances, they all entered the building into their home rooms. After the pupils had received a few instructions, and schedule cards for the daily classes, they started for their first recitation. Betty Lou's first period was biology. She went up to a young man. who she thought looked accommodating. and asked, Will you please direct me to Room Ten. the biology room? I haven't the slightest idea where it is. The boy, a Senior by the way. answered glibly. Room Ten is at the head of the stairs on the third floor. After Betty had thanked him, she hurried to the designated room. Imagine her embarrassment when she walked into a classroom of boys! They all laughed at her mistake and sent her blushing out into the corridor to find her way downstairs as well as she could. This same joking caused many a Sophomore to be late for class. After a few days. however. the Sopho- 46 1933 METHUEN H1cH SCHOOL mores knew their way around and were no longer pestered by the so-called helpful Seniors. As Betty Lou and one of her Junior friends were walking home one day, Betty Lou was busy talking about the Sophomores, first assembly. 'Tm lucky,', she said. uEvery one of my men was elected this morning for class office. HWho are the fortunate fellows?,' asked the girl. Betty Lou, with a proud tone, answered, HBilly Hutchinson, President, John McDermott, Vice-President, Billy Mann, Treasurer, and Peter Winn, Secretaryf' When she reached home, she told the good news to her mother, an ever- ready listener to school affairs. When the Seniors informed the Sophomores of the coming Hop, Betty Lou, especially, was excited. As she was walking through the corridors about a week before the event, Dick Talbot, a popular Senior, tapped her on the shoulder and motioned for her to step aside. HBetty, would you care to go to the dance next Friday night with me?', he asked. Too astonished to say anything, Betty remained silent for the moment. To think that Dick would ask her, when there were so many other pretty girls! MWelll,, he said, interrupting her thoughts, 'elim waiting for your answer. All she could say was, 'gYes, l'd love to go. Betty,s joys were now complete. She was having the good time she had come to High School to enjoy. ln the early spring the Sophomores held their first class party. The efforts of the committee, of which Betty Lou was a member, were rewarded handsomely, for the party turned out a social success. When June arrived, the Sophomores saw their first Senior chapel. Betty Lou was impressed by it and hurried home to tell her mother. 'alVlother, it was one of the m.ost solemn occasions live ever seen. lim sorry the Seniors have to leave, still, their departure brings us Sophomores one step nearer to our own graduation. We shall now be able to call ourselves Juniors. W'hen September rolled 'round again, it brought with it the retum of Betty Lou and her classmates. They felt quite superior to the new group of Sophomores, who aimlessly roamed from room to room. Don't mention the undignified Seniors of last year! They were incomparable to this year's class of Juniors. How they teased the poor new-corners! The bewildered Sophomores were sent anywhere but to the right place. The tornienting Juniors forgot how helpless they had felt when they entered the building for the first time the year before. After a few weeks had passed, however, the Juniors had a change of heart toward the Sophomores. They could be seen here and there occupied in conversation. Bill was seated on a bench talking to one of his Sophomore friends and asked, 6'You have the new teacher, Mr. lngalls, for Biology, 47 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 haven,t you? l had Mr. Piper last year but he left. Mr. Noble went to another school too, but Mr. Beaumont, an old friend of yours from the Central, is filling his positionff With the commencement of a new year, it was necessary to re-elect class officers. This year a girl was among the chosen. John McDermott was elected Presidentg VVilliam Hutchinson, Vice-Presidentg Betty Stowell. Secretary, and William Mann, Treasurer. Bill, who was now quite an athlete, was among the many Juniors who vied for honors in various sports. He, with many of his friends, worked hard on the gridiron, Betty Lou and her girl friends, on the hockey field. Their troubles were not in vain, however, for many were chosen to be on the varsity teams. After they had won their letters, they were eligible to join the NNI club, an organization composed of students who had earned a letter in any sport whatever. Formerly, class rings had been bought in the Sophomore year. but by a large vote, this Class had consented to wait until its members were Juniors. Now that their Junior year had arrived. they had the privilege of choosing a ring. Betty Lou was thrilled when she received hers. As soon as school was over, she rushed home to show her new ring. t'Oh. Mother! lsn't it beautiful? l'll feel proud when I show it to my friends. f'Yes, dear. it is pretty. answered her mother. The gold reproduc- tion of Searles's tower on the black setting is unique. I'll wager there aren't many high schools which have so attractive a ring. Johnnie, although he disliked school work. enioyed the good times and was present at every social function. He wouldn't consider for a moment missing the annual class party. It was held December ll. in the High School hall. A short prophecy of the class was given which made the walls of the hall echo with laughter. After the entertainment. dancing was enioyed. Before the Christmas vacation. plans were under way for the Junior play. The cast worked fervently. with the help of Mrs. Thompson. to make it both a dramatic and financial success. The play. The Goose Hangs High , is a humorous story of a wealthy family turned poor. After many arguments. the children. who had wanted to go to college. decided to remain at home and help in the managing of the house. ln June. the Class of l933 attended their second Senior chapel. It was much the same as the first. the Seniors marching before them to the tune of f'Auld Lang Sync . but it meant much more to them. It seemed to remind them that they did not have much more time to spend in school. now that they were to become Seniors. Wfhen Betty Lou and ber friends returned to school for the last time. in the fall of l932. they felt very dignified and were delighted in hearing some lowly' Sophomore say. She's a Senior. YVon't you be glad when you're one! The newly-acquired name of Senior at first filled them with 48 1933 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL pride, but that soon wore off. After a few weeks, they had become accus- tomed to being Seniors and the thought no longer thrilled them. On account of the great number of pupils in the building this year., it was necessary to appoint a new teacher, Miss Kohler. Miss Stacey took the position left vacant by Miss Dugan. There were not many changes in the officers of the Senior year. John McDermott and Billy Hutchinson were re-elected President and Vice-Presi- dent respectively. Billy Mann was chosen Secretary, and Louis Pozycek, Treasurer. As is the custom of the school, the Seniors tendered the Sophomores a reception. The last class party of the Seniors' High School days was held Novem- ber 23, in the hall. Under the direction of able members of the committee, it was a great success. At this time, Betty Lou and her friends learned with sorrow of the death of one of their most popular classmates, James Nicholson. He will be missed by everyone. for he was prominent in most school activities. He en- gaged in all sports and was also an ofiicer in the Cadet Corps. The Annual Military Ball was held in the State Armory in Lawrence. Bill, because he had worked hard in the corps in his first two years of school, had now earned an oHicer's position. He and Betty Lou were one of the many couples who attended. The boys in their neat uniforms and the girls in their various colored evening gowns made a beautiful contrast. One can truthfully say that it was one of the best ever conducted by the cadets of the Methuen High School. Don't think that the boys did all the good work. The girls made a great success of the demonstration, which this year, for the first time, was held in the form of a competitive meet. The girls of our class, having the greatest number of points, won the banner. For the first time in history, Methuen High School competed in a national track meet. Representatives of high schools, preparatory schools. and colleges from all over the country assembled at the University of Pennsylvania to do their best and try to take home the laurels. ilt is con- sidered an honor that Methuen was chosen as one of the few high schools to run in the relays. Now our High School days have fled. Some students are glad, others, sorry that they now must make their own wav in the world. Whatever' their feeling is toward their farewell to High School, time cannot be reversed. They must go on. Some in this class of 1933 have always drifted along. Like Johnnie, they never cared for work, and probably never will accomplish anything worthwhile. Others, like Betty Lou. may have struggled a little, but amuse- ment always came first. Then again there are students who have studied, 49 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 like Bill, and have gained will-power, ambition, and perseverance from their education. They wanted to store up knowledge to use at some future time, for they knew that they could always make use of it. If your ways have been like those of Johnnie or Betty Lou in your High School days, drop them now. You know yourself that you will never succeed in this world, if you always do as little as you can or put good times first. Make it your policy in the future to be like Bill. Wlork hard, be ambitious, gain all you can out of this world, and try to earn fame and glory for yourself and for your former school. -Alberta Sharpe ,rx .0 L 'Q Q6 -ri .11 .. , V A ,M .lk X-N. .XL J If hi r '-M flu 5 5' . .- , K .-2, - I rf ' 3 . - 50 1933 METHUEN Hina Scnool, Qllzu-as lgrnplteng BY BETTY M.

The others haven't come yet. I found something awfully interesting here- a scrap book. There are a great many newspaper clippings and other things about loads of people in our class. Do you want to look at it with me? Charlie: Yes, I'd like to. Hereis a bit of interesting news. '6Donald Foss and Aram Franklin, well-known florists, attribute their success to the famous fertilizers, manufactured by Stanley Drew and Nicholas Khoury: but we know the real key to their success. With all their hot air, Donald and Aram could raise flowers at the North Polef, Betty: Why look! NTyler Byrne has merged with Tirrellls News Agency and has the controlling interest.', Yes, I always thought that Tyler would go far in the newspaper business. Charlie: And look here! John ,Iessel and Everett Smith, recent graduates of Harvard, are among the first ten in their classf, In our old Class of '33 they were such bright boys that I often wonder how they find it dark enough to sleep. Betty: Did you read what it says here, Charlie? HAfter the retire- ment of ,lean Harlow and Zasu Pitts, directors Belmont Berardi and Wil- liam Turner feared that successors could not be found. However, their places were most ably filled by Margaret Parker, who practices most art- fully the wiles of Miss Harlow, and Lucie Drigian who will continue where Miss Pitts left off. None the less does Aldona Mazutavich fill the place left vacant by ,loan Crawford. Perhaps her success is due in part to the ability of her private secretary and adviser, Albina Kwaracejusf, Charlie: 'fBobert Strauten, a promising recruit for the Boston Beaners, had the honor of striking out the Leaguels leading batter, Edward Lowell, better known as 'Slugger Lowell' of the New York Brewers. With the Boston Beaners was an old friend of ours, Charlie Larocque, the League's leading bat-boy. Betty: I went to Dolly Moore's exhibition yesterday. She is becoming quite famous as an artist. Frank Giles is perfectly content to just run errands for her. Well, he had plenty of practice in High School. Charlie: While I was speaking with Professor Karl Keuhner, a few days ago, he stated that he always weighed his words before speaking. No doubt, one cannot accuse the professor of giving short weight. 51 lVlETHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 Betty: HSince Flora Brown obtained her divorce, she has been doing a great deal of travelling with her Al .... imonyf' Charlie: '4Winifred Stott, an ardent advocate of Technocracy, has recently been connected with the textile business.

Friday, Gilbert Settle and his popular 'Fishy Stories' will amuse the audience. Saturday, Ivy Sharp will recite her latest poems. Charlie: 'iKenneth Slack and Wlilliam Shea, celebrating their eighth year in the pretzel business told this one to the reporter. 'One day. Kennie advertised for a salesman.

Betty: Here is an advertisement saying that Jennie Backs will give a skating exhibition at the Boston Garden in a few weeks. Jennie's path in life is surely a slippery one. Jennie attributes her success to her manager, Rita Doyle, a life-long pal.

However, the jolly antics of the victors soon attracted a huge crowd.

W!'NN Comedian 9 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 Sling Ghratiun NTERPRISE is defined by Webster as a bold undertaking. Very often, we think, when mentioning the subject enter- prise, of opportunity, the chance to better oneself and oneis position in life. After grasping then the opportunity, we venture upon an enterprise. No matter what the task is that we are to perform, we do not know what the result will be. The out- come is uncertain and, because of the uncertainty rather than the boldness, the task may be called an enterprise. To be so classified, an undertaking in life need not be spectacular. It need not be so outstanding as Colonel Lindberghis flight across the ocean, nor so dangerous as Admiral Byrdis expedition to the South Pole. Let us take, for example, entering college. One would scarcely call that event spectacular. Vifhy not? Because thousands of young people do it every year. Neither is entering college a daring feat. Of what is there to be afraid? If other people enter and come out the better for having been there, surely there is nothing to fear. And yet this entering of college is uncertain. One does not know whether or not he will be permitted to enter. and after he is accepted. has no assur- ance that he will remain. Hence. entering college is an enterprise mainly because of its uncertainty. You will agree too. that going to college is a worth-while thing. Because it is both uncertain and worth-while. entering college is an enterprise. Fittingly. then. can we apply the word enterprise to every worth-while thing we do. Facing us, the Class of l933. is the fact that within a very few days we shall be graduates of this High School. :Xt this time. we are about to start out upon an enterprise. For twelve years we have. in various ways. been preparing ourselves for this bold undertaking. For seven years we moved along together, constantly gaining the same kind and amount of knowledge. not only from books. but from our contacts with classmates and others of the outside world. After the hrst seven years. we all began to choose different subjects to study. These small enterprises of undertaking to learn new subjects. have led us through five more years of enterprises. and now we feel ourselves ready to progress upon the ever diverging paths of life. The Class, as a whole. has been enterprising in choosing its leaders and in running its class allairs. These small enterprises. growing in sig- nificance each succeeding year. have brought us to the point at which we are to separate. some for experience in dealing with life. and others for more book knowledge. This training in managing activities. although far too meagre for our needs in future life. forms the foundation. which will. in years to come. support our greater enterprises of life. The success of 60 1933 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL our work within the past twelve years now enables us to leave this High School. The profitable completion of our undertakings gives us courage to face our future life. It quiets our fears concerning the continuation of our education. We know we have done well in the past, and we look for- ward to doing better work in the years to come. Three years ago, we, the Class of 1933, took for our motto the Latin words, Vincit qui se vincit. This statement, G'He conquers who conquers himselfn, gives forth a challenge to every person to accomplish one of the greatest enterprises that can be undertaken by any man or woman, the enterprise of conquering oneself. This enterprise is so stupendous, that although it is one that every person should try to accomplish, it is one few attempt to follow through. lf each person were to conquer himself, we would have a world akin to Moreis Utopia or to Harrington's Uceana. We all desire to be like and to respect the man who has conquered himself. We realize that he has had a hard struggle with his inner nature to overcome his faults. Since he has been successful in his combat against the desires and habits, which he knows he should not possess, we respect him more than we respect ourselves. He who has conquered his mind and his soul, not only wins the respect and admiration of his fellowmen, but also wins self-respect. We all know that the man who has conquered him- self and has gained greater regard for himself is much happier than for- merly, and feels at peace with the world. When a man has conquered himself, his inner self, the success ofghis battle shows in his work and in his everyday habits. Well do the words of John lVlilton, one of Englantl's foremost poets, illustrate my point: 'tHe that has light within his own clear breast May sit ii the center and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sung Himself is his own dungeonf' His friends, his partners, and men with whom he does business notice the characteristics of the man who has light within his own clear breast and give him greater business deference. The man whose enterprise of conquering himself has been successful is esteemed and sought by people who desire his help and his advice in dealing with all manner of situations. Conquering oneself need not be conhned to the business world. The success of the enterprise of conquering oneself is a necessity in the intel- lectual, medical, theological, and legal worlds. To be proficient in any line of life work, a man must be above the reproach of his fellowmen and to be this kind of man he must, at some time in life, have conquered himself. And now, classmates, let us go forth from Methuen High School with two thoughts in mindg first, that every worth-while undertaking we set out to accomplish is an enterprise, and second, that the man who conquers himself successfully completes the greatest enterprise that any man can llllflf'l'l21lifi'- -Rirlmrrl R. Irving 61 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 C 5 1 I Q N this page we shall attempt to present some views and ad- vice so that our classmates will understand what it has meant to edit this publication and so that underclassmen may profit from our ideas. First of all, let us tell what we have gained from being editors of this book. It has been a tremendous task. Viihen we consider the time, effort, and energy spent in the making of this volume we learn to appreciate the work of journalists who work tirelessly day and night so that people may read the news of the world a few hours or even a few min- utes after the actual occurrences. We have learned much about journalism during the course of our editorship. Indeed. as far as mental attainment is concerned. we have profited, but as far as monetary matters go. we havenit acquired a single cent. Still. besides being a tremendous task: it has been a pleasure to work on this publication. We really enjoyed it. Our originality has had to be limited because of the lack of sufficient finances, but we have endeavored to follow the high standards established in past publications as closely as possible and yet add some of our own originality at the same time. We have had to struggle against not-the-best of circumstances in order to make this the lowest priced book of this type. As far as activities are concerned. we have listed as many as possible and have tried our best to list as many of the important details as we could. There are such last-minute organizations as the tennis and rifle teams that ought to be mentioned. Also. compliments and best wishes for future suc- cess are extended to the Parent-Teachers Association for the interest shown in student activities. hlay we say this-our activities are fine and actually worthwhile. However, it is our belief that they are all. more or less. major. If the coming classes would encourage minor fraternities which would bring to- gether groups that have an especial interest but take no part in school af- fairs, they would make a milestone in this rapidly enlarging -institution. There are students who do not participate in any activity at school but have a liking for certain things. Those who have an acute interest in scholarship could profit from an honor society. An artists' club could be formed for pupils who like art and music. Benefit could be derived from a debating 62 1933 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL or public-speaking society. A commercial club for business-minded stu- dents would be worth-while or a dramatic club for Sophomores would give them experience for the class play. Thus, a greater interest in the school would be enlivened. It is eminently fitting that future Student Councils, as service organi- zations, try to make every student pursue some interest or be an active participant in some recreation at school. To our successors we give this parting advice -there ought to be a Junior class member on the staff who would automatically become editor in his Senior year. Thus, much of the book could he made up early and considerable knowledge about editing could be gathered. We have tried to make this not a mere class book for Seniors but an annual that everyone would be interested to have, and we hope that in time all students will buy the book each year, thereby lessening the individual cost. Finallv, we must say a few words concerning our advertisers. They have contributed in a large measure towards the success of this edition. You will see ads. of a shoemaker, a hardware dealer, a florist, etc. Please give your liberal patronage to these reliable firms - they deserve it.

E have tried to do our best in making this annual worthy of our school. With the limited amount at our disposal plus the reportorial and editorial abilities in our possession, we have tried to put out as good a book as we could. Our aim has been to make this book interesting to all students. The staff hopes that you will like it. We tried to think of a name for this book but finall had to ive u J. Max' succeeding editors have ood fortune Y g l . ra g in this matter. The fact must be Considered that only a small amount, as compared with previous years, was in the treasury and that this year was none too prosperous. Consequently, mut-h planning and figuring had to be done to edit a volume that would be on the same high standard as publications of previous classes. A great deal of money was saved by having four pictures on a panel. It is hoped crities will judge us favorably.

It is an organization of service. The purpose. as expressed in the constitution of the Council. is perfectly general. It aids the student hody and faculty as far as lies in its power. Four Seniors, three Juniors. and two Sophomores comprise the memhership of the Council. ln 1925-26. the Student Council was organized under the guidance of Mr. Lewis Conant. then principal. The constitution was drawn up at once and ratified hy each of the three classes and made effective hy' the signature of the principal. The Council has. as a part of its duty. the arrangement of the social calendar. regulation of trallic and class elections. estahlishment of customs. perpetuation of desirable traditions. and fostering of any new extra-cur- ricula activities. This year there have heen two main performances-the Christmas hasket drive and the Courtesy and Honesty campaign. With thc aid of posters throughout the school. morning discussions in the home rooms. and the aid of our puhlication. the Blue and White. these two undertakings were immensely successful. 66 1933 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL THE STUDENT COUNCIL SITTING tLeft to rightt: Alfred Taylor.

The members of the Council gave a varied account of the organiza- tion's Worth in high school before a meeting of the Parent Teachers Associa- tion of Methuen High School. As a parting word, we wish to say that it would he a line thing if an annual conference of Student Councils of local high schools could be arranged.

CJ HE orchestra this year is one of the Hnest gatherings the high school has ever had. We regret that the Spring Concert could not be held this year as in the past. The orchestra has had no real opportunity to exhibit its ability in music interpretation of eminent composers. Mr. Pearson, our music supervisor. has spent considerable time in preparing these young musicians. We believe that his tireless efforts have been of great benefit to those musically inclined. The group has played a few numbers for the High School Parent Teachers Association. Evening School Graduation, Class Day. and our Graduation. We hope that next year a solution of the crowded conditions will be effected and that chorus and glee clubs will be resumed. We missed them this year although a Senior boys' double quartet was formed late in the year. We'll be watching for the animal concert which was omitted this year!

METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL 1933 he 't lub N the school year 1928-29, the UM Club was formed through the efforts of Mr. Thompson. The worthy purpose of the association has made it a respected and influential organization. Its first aim is to create, foster, and increase a friendly feeling for athletics and for the general welfare of the school. The second object is to combine the enthusiasm of athletics and scholastic work. The participants in boys, and girls, sports who have earned a letter constitute the club. ln the past, upon several occasions. members have been guests at various sporting events in Boston. Every year in October, the Club is scheduled to conduct a dance and party. This year the organization has formulated distinct rules for the eaming of letters in all our sports. This restriction of getting a letter adds much towards the distinction of wearing an NM . For this progressive accom- plishment, this year's club deserves to be complimented. The work of President Charles Szostak and Secretary Robert Strauten is worthy of com- mendation, too. We wish that in the future. as interested members may comprise the club and successful accomplishments be produced. 82 M CLUB THE d c CI! : E CJ .. : I E cu ,.. .-1 B E -F iw sc E- C Q1 L..

It was easy to foretell who would win the various events. The Class of '33 has set up the best track record in the history of our high school. All Seniors-Captain Frank Giles. Alfred Taylor. Albert Horne. Charles Szostak. John McDermott. and Karl Keuhner, were responsible for the fine showing of the team. Vive can justly be proud of the record the indoor team has set up. considering that this is the first instituted in the annals of the school. The team entered the Northeastern. Andover. and State lnterscholastics. At Andover. our men placed in three events. As a climax. the relay quartet won from Haverhill. ln the State Meet. we uncovered a champion in Taylor who won hrst honors in the 300-yard run. Methuen boys also placed in other events. A total ol' eight points was scored in this meet. In dual meets we encountered Newton. Beverly. Medford. Dedham. and Andover J. Y. Our boys always gave a good account of themselves in dual contests. Two of our sure-fooled runners. Captain Giles and Szostalv were crowned Greater l.awrence indoor champs in the 600 and 300-yard runs, respectively. Because of thc good showing this year. the team was invited to the Penn Relays held at Philadelphia on April 28 and 29. A great deal ot Credit must be given Captain Giles. Taylor. and Horne. all of them record- holders, for the successful showing of the team. They were depended upon to score in every meet. Hutchinson. Byrne. Karsokas. Mooers. and Lacog- nata have shown a promising display. 88 1933 METHUEN H1011 SCHOOL TRACK TEAM Fl:oNT Row lLeft to riglzztz Karl Keulmer. Alfred Taylor. Frank S.

In the Merrimack Valley meet at the Lawrence Memorial Stadium, May l3, the team garnered fourteen points to place fifth. Giles is the 880-yard champion and Horne the mile record holder. Szostak and McDermott placed third in the 220 and 440-yard dashes, re- spectively. Congratulations are extended Coach Beaumont upon his successful season. Mr. Ewart Horne is sincerely thanked for voluntarily giving valuable time and knowledge to our participants, and Mr. Carter Hartl enthusiastic support is also acknowledged.

Con- sequently. since we have to get the material for the hook in some time hefore the season is in full swing. we are unahle to have eomplete data of the team. However. we ci-an prediet that a suec-essful season is inevitahle. Wlith six lettermen returning. five of whom helong to the class of l933. Coach Rams- hotham has a strong nueleus around which to huild a scrappy nine. This year the team is not handieapped with a new eoaeh. Billy Hutt-hinson is the eaptain of the team. Last year he led the team in halting and showed niarked ability- on the diamond. The return of Bohn Strauten and Chet Vlioekel assures the team of a reliable and experience-ed pitching stall.. 'l'eddy l.owell and Charlie Szostali are the hopes for a lively inheld. Aram Franklin. although not getting his letter last year. is another inheld 1-andidate who shows promise of making good.
