Three years have brought us work and play, And friendships that were true, But knowledge we have gained here Will aid us in the work we do. Our lives and thoughts were yours to mold, And now that we must part, The true ideals you gave to us Shall be engraved upon our heart.

Yet ere they leave they gather near to tell To their dear school that parting word, Farewell, Our senior class of nineteen thirty-five Are those young sailors who will ably strive On ocean fair or water rough to guide Our sturdy craft against the surging tide. Lord grant that we may always face the gale With hearts of courage, hands that cannot fail. Of thee, Methuen High, fond praise we sing, To thy fine teaching ever will we clingg Ne'er shall we sever that strong tie which binds , Us to the school where ivy twists and winds, And as we sail away upon life's sea, Methuen High, we'll harbor thoughts of thee.

KATHLEEN GERTRUDE BEEVERS Thy fair hair my heart erlcltainedf' This girl seemed quiet to those who really did not know her. but to the chosen few she proved herself a good scout.

I2 1935 ML FHUEN Hiott Scuooi MARIE LOUISE BERWICK A cheerful life is what the muses lovcg A roaring spirit is their prime delight. Marie, that outspoken girl, that cheery indi- vidual, that wit of the class, can best be remem- bered by her turkey strut. An ardent disciple of Terpsichore, with hair to excite oneis envy, she was not lacking friends and admirers. Her many wisecracks evoked more than one smile during classes. Good luck, Marie.

Paul is one of those persons who incessantly profess by speech and actions that '6Rome wasn't built in a dayf, This tall, gangling youth is best remembered as shambling along the corridors with no fixed purpose or desire to arrive at any certain place within a short time.

The lengthy corridors of Methuen High have often resounded with the high pitch of feminine laughter mingled with a certain masculine horse- laugh. Henry, to be sure, was among them.

Johnis hair was not the only bright part of him, for his ability in mathematics and chemistry was a witness to the brightness of his intellect. We have never had any evidence of temper or talka- tiveness which usually accompany red hair, for he has always been a quiet and unassuming member of our class. CHARLES AUGUSTINE CALLAHAN, JR. Be always as merry as ever you can, For no one delights in a sorrowful man. This diminutive gentleman of the Senior class will long be remembered for his happy-go-lucky air and sunny smile. Some thought him quiet, but his constant pals, HlVlac,, and '4Sam,,' would quickly deny such an announcement. Charlie rarely missed a dance at school, or. from what we have heard, elsewhere. May you carry on as philoso- phically as you carried home your bi-monthly re- sults! JACK CARTER Student Speaker Baseball 4 Vice-President 4 Traffic Otiicer 4- The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Meet Jack, the popular man about school. Jack is quite proficient in dancing-he ought to be since he has had sufficient practice-and has been a dili' gent student. He has a greeting for everyone, but alas, like most men he is not perfect! He would blush like the traditional red, red rose. ln spite of this characteristic we feel sure Jack will be suc- cessful in all he undertakes. THOMAS LAURENCE CIARDELLO, JR.

Lucid blue eyes, dimples and an alluring smile are ,Iulia's outstanding characteristics. Beauty is not her only asset,-for she is very systematic and eflicient in her commercial work. Au revoir, chere fulie. ANN KUROWSKI Fare thee well, for I must leave thee. Do not let this parting grieve thee. Endowed with good humor, an agreeable dis- position, and vitality, this fair maiden has un- affectedly surveyed with twinkling eyes all our en- deavors, social, academic, and otherwise. Atten- tive to her studies and subject to modesty she has proven herself a real friend among friends. SHIRLEY EILEEN LAKE Class Play 4- God Bless Our Happy Home. This parfaite dame is one of our most amicable classmates. The proud tilt of her chic head gives voice to the fine characteristics which she possesses. Her depiction of a woman of the world in our class play offers us an opportunity for contrast. Happy landing, Shirley. HENRY ALEXANDRE LAIVIBERT, Jn. Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies. Tall, quiet, smiling Henry and his Stradivarius are as inseparable as the Siamese twins. Not con- tent with lending his noble efforts to those of our school orchestra, he has organized a group of his own and has been very successful in his pres- entations. Some day we will hear that our little Henry has made good in his musical endeavors. 27 num Hii.ii SPIIINDI. 1lilll'll xc-hi' li- Ilml has fi-Q-n lwtlvr mluw.

Taking advantage of the constitutional realiza- tion of her inalienable right of Hpursuit of hap- piness,', Rita has always found something amu- sing and has enjoyed her stay among us with her customary good humor. Ambitious and diligent, she has maintained a high scholastic standing. Rita leaves us to serve humanitv via nursing. CLAIRE HENRIETTA LOWRY Bashful sincerity and comely lure. Black locks and a refreshing smile combined with a pleasing personality present this young lady to you. Beneath these qualities there is deep sincerity and an understanding nature. With these splendid characteristics we are positive that the profession she desires, nursing, is one she is highly qualified for. MARGARET MAY MADDEN Salutatorian Studious of elegance and ease In spite of her petitenes Margaret has filled a very large place in our class. From our first meet- ing she has been a very brilliant student and a prominent classmate. Slightly subject to talkative- ness and possessing a mischievous wink, Margaret is well-liked. Her diligence and perseverance in her studies are admired and envied. MARTHA ELIZABETH MANAHAN My latest find. Heaven's last best gift. my ever new delight! Although Martha has the habit of getting under our skin sometimes, we can not help liking her. Kind-hearted and studious, Martha has been ever willing to aid others and her efforts to please her teachers have made her famous.

Once in a while perhaps this boy did say some- thing weighty, but during those rare intervals no one was fortunate enough to be present to record the pearls of wisdom. This unsophisticated and mischievous scamp of the Senior class was always having a good time and seemed really to enjoy life. His extremely free paraphrasing and the deviltry which he and his fellow sufferers participated in during English period will long be remembered. Greetings and salutations. Dick.

Characterized by an incessant How of talk, danc- ing eyes, and a jouncing walk, this girl has flittecl and flirted through our ranks. If she can talk her- self into half as much as she has talked herself out of, she ought to be a howling success. Can we ever forget those study periods when Thelma used to sit munching peanuts or potato chips while doing shorthand! JOHN BROWN ROGERS Track 3 Football 4 Book Committee 4 The world's greatest men have not commonly been great scholars. Johnny surprised us all this year by plunging through the mire of the gridiron for the glory of our team. Stepping out still farther from his former shell, he displayed his fondness for playing jokes on the rest of his fellow students. Johnny is another one of us who has gone into the taxi business which left him quite busy though his li- nancial results were nil. Here's to your success, Johnny. LILLIAN EMILY ROTHE And her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece. This petite young lady with the golden tresses has daintilv and most sociably labored with us.

This member of our class has fared rather well so far from home. His cheerful disposition must be due to the early morning air of the country which he enjoyed driving down from the hills on his way to school.

Possessing a fine permanent wave and not pos- sessing that Hnoisei' so prevalent among the men of our class, Bob has stood out from the rest by his reserved and quiet manner. Within the con- fines of the library and with the competent support of i'Swartzy he was wont to make sarcastic com- ments on politics. Like a true cadet oflicer he was constantly on the run either trying to stuff one of his subordinates into a tight fitting uniform or issuing orders to the rest of his charges. Fare thee well, brother Searle. ROMAN JOSEPH SIERPINA Tall, dark. and handsome. This tall, dark, and handsome chap has kept back any would-be rush from the ladies by his re- served manner and hands-oil policy. He was very, very quiet in school and acted calmly and slowly at all times. Otherwise he was pleasant company and a good sport among the boys. The best of luck, Roman. MARGARET FRANCES SPOONER Basketball 4 Wit is the salt of conversation. A good scholar, a fine basketball player, and an excellent equestrienne. . .that's our Muggins. Nor can her sarcasm and wit be overlooked. Formerly quite reticent, lVluggins has of late sur- prised many of us by her outstanding talents and fine points, one of which is the artistic lines of her eyebrows. 39 lui ix lln.tt Si in tt, ,gli XI KRW' tfUXST:XNtfH 5'l'-KFFORII 1 l.t-- mill' Ihr ihmglito-r 1-I -le-li.ntv, It is mu him -'-vmirtiwii that tin' indilliervnt Ninn ni-nhl ni.il.e' gin .itilv latina-r. xlYilt'iUllF. .nitimtiu-. .tml hnhhliiig me-i with luis:-liie-f.

Since 1635. when the B Latin School was established in Boston, it has been the ulti aim of the public school to prove to the citizens of this col how' vital education is in the moulding of America's plastic y Therefore. as we Seniors close the last chapter of our High School ca let us spend a few moments of reminiscence upon the three years we spent in the Edward F. Searles High School, during which time we striven to qualify ourselves to meet the situations of life and have fou friendships with the faculty and our fellow students. Perhaps this I lecting will enable us to realize more fully the advantages both intelle and social which have been ours-advantages that date their origin bat the pioneers in education who endeavored to advance scholastic instru beyond the scope of the Grammar Schools. September, l932, witnessed the introduction of two hundred and s students to the Edward F. Searles High School who were to compose class, the Class of l935. Our welcome was, no doubt. vastly different the formal reception which the dozen or more boys received at the B1 Latin School three hundred years ago. We were harassed by the u classmen and sent helter-skelter in search of rooms that oftentimes dia before the feeling of ostracism had worn off and we felt t.hat we belonged Our 4 urio ity was deeply aroused when we heard the notice conoe a Sophomore assembly. lt was the first one that we had attended l High School We .at humblv in awe of our speaker, Mr Thompson, after welcoming us and tellinfz us that we were Sophomores-the l class in rank in the building--and should, therefore expect to be t with disdain by our superiors, in a more serious vein tried to impress our minds that whatever we gleaned from our High School educatlo pended upon ourselves. He ureed us to make the most of what was o us. The majority of our class left that assembly with an eamest desi our hearts lo live up to the standards that had been placed before us. we have or not. only we ourselves know. There have been no great o lo hinder us in the furthering of our knowledce as there were in the days. We have always received free text-books and other educational -ities as pens, pencils,'and paper.

It cannot be said that opportunity has not Within the next few weeks, we attended another assembly at which we the following class officers: George Wurzbacher, Presidentg Albert Vice-Presidentg Shirley Cox, Secretary, Stanley Jozokos, Miss Ruth Wright and Mr. Chester Brown were chosen to be our Class Advisers. During the latter part of September, the Senior Class tendered us a re- ception in the Central School hall. Invitations had been exchanged and there had been a general flurry of who was going with whom and what to wearn among the feminine sex. After the grand march and welcome ad- dress by John McDermott, the Senior President, we were each presented with a carnation, a gift of the Seniors, by our own President, George Wurz- bacher. As usual, there were only a certain few who took part in the danc- ing. The unfortunate Sophomores who were necessitated by circumstances to assume the repugnant role of wall fiowersv were slightly disillusioned as far as school dances were concerned. We learned by our attendance what would be expected of us as sponsors when we were Seniors. The Sophomores who were intimately acquainted with the upper- classmen received invitations to the annual Military Ball which was held in Lawrence State Armory, March 24, 1933. Those who attended anticipated the Military Ball of their Junior year with the keenest of pleasure. During the latter part of April and the first of May, we filled out elec- tive blanks on which we listed the subjects that we desired to take during our Junior year. Had we been attending school in the earlier days, we should have had no preference but to take Latin, Greek, Geography, and English. Imagine having to be able to translate and decline perfectly the paradigms of nouns and verbs in the Greek and Latin tongues in order to be eligible for admission to college. Just as dancing got into the feet of the youths of three centuries ago. and was indulged in with gusto--that is, until the scorching breath of re- ligious criticism curtailed it-so it got into our feet, and although there were no jigs, square dances, or minuets, the party which we held in May, in the Central School hall, was one that can be remembered with pleasure by the group that attended. Preceding Sophomore classes have always attended Senior Chapel in June. Because the assembly hall was not large enough to accommodate the students, we were denied this privilege. Although somewhat saddened by the departure of our idols, the Seniors, we rejoiced in the realization that our graduation was one step nearer. Thus our first year in the Edward F. High School came to a close. September, 1933, sounded that ill omen-the knell of vacation. ln of the fact that there were a few of us who did not want to return to Mertirtax Htcu Scnool. school. we did not adopt the attitude of a lad of two hundred years ago who said. Thank the l.ord my jeans h'aint hrushed the dust off'n no school wall or pomped me all up with the pride of learnin'. We expected to be treated with preference hy the Seniors for we had known them when they were but .luniors tliemselres. Distinction was. however. decidedly lacking. The Seniors merely acknowledged us with a sliehtlv greater degree of favor and recognition than they had given us in our Sophomore year. The first assemhly of our .lunior year was held for the purpose of elect- ing class ofiicers. They were as follows: George Wurzhacher, Presidentg Charles Clifford. Yice-President: .lack Carter. Secretaryg Henry Biery, Treasurer. Allnert Cordon and Charles Callahan were chosen to represent our class on the Student Council. lluring the early part of Decemher. a representative called at the High School to display class rings. A committee was selected to choose our ring from the various styles that were offered. A reproduction in gold. on a hlack setting. of the Edward F. Searles Tower. made our ring attractive and unique. Perhaps three lmmlred years from the present. they will be price- less heirlooms. Fehruary 23. l93-l. was a memorahle night for those who attended the annual ,lunior Party in the school hall. The various committees realized that there no doulnt would he not only those hoys who, because they lacked the gumption to try. considered dancing sissified. hut also both boys and girls who preferred not to dance. To overcome this dilemma. the hall was divided llllu two sections. Tables were placed in one. on which games such as checkers. heano. and cards might he played. Even the teachers who were present participated in the fun. The other section of the hall was occupied w ith dancers. A local orchestra furnished a repertoire of the latest song-hits. Nlethuen. as well as many of the neighboring towns, felt that because uf a deficit in funds liasehall would have to he discontinued. Therefore, the three classes of the High School sponsored a haseball dance which was loyally supported. Consequently. the sport remained on our athletic st'llt'lllllt'. The twenty-eighth annual Military Ball was held on March 24, 1934, in the tlentral School hall. Since we had become upper-classmen. a larger numher of our group were present than during the preceding year. Ex- hihition drilling and a grand march consumed much of the early evening. -K fter the judges had awarded the prize to the company performing its mili- tary tactics the hest. dancing was held. The officers of the Lawrence, Lowell, llaverhill. and Gloucester cadet corps were guests of our boys. The outstanding event of the year for the girls took place on Anril 27, IUZH. This was the annual exhihition of the Athletic Association. The first part of the evening was devoted to calisthenics by the girls. Mr. Thompson 48 1935 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL awarded letters to those who had played on the hockey and basketball teams. A grand march and dancing completed the evening program. June, 1934, did not take us unaware. We had very animatedly awaited its arrival, for two glorious months of vacationing were to follow-then, our return to school as Seniors! There were not many girls of our class who hoped that the Board of Education would suddenly adopt the attitude of 1690-Hall a girl needs to know is how to spin and how much to pay for a peck of potatoes in case she is ever left a widow. for they anticipated their last year in the Edward F. Searles High School with more eagerness than any other. Fired with ambition and filled with expectation. we, in September, 1934, entered the Edward F. Searles High School as Seniors to conclude the final lap of our scholastic journey. At the time. we did not realize that we prob- ably are the last class to welcome the Sophomores to our school. Owing to the ever-increasing number of students, a plan has been proposed to have a two-session day next year. One advantage of this plan lies in the fact that the Sophomores will be spared the ordeal of incessant attacks by the Seniors. As Seniors we were given the privilege of going home at 12:45-that is, those Seniors who were not failing any subjects. This ruling had its effect upon the individuals who played on the various teams for a failure in any subject meant that they could neither go home early nor participate in the games. The students who rode on the buses watched their classmates leave the building with envious eyes for they had to wait until 1:30 for their bus to come. Of the twenty-five girls who tried out for the class play, those who were chosen were Grace Morin, Grace Pfieiier, Shirley Lake, and Shirley Cox. After a great deal of difficulty, we chose John Hewson, George Wurzbacher. Ernest McKenzie, and Walter Graichen from the boys. The play entitled The Youngest was given on November 23, 1934. in the Central School hall. The large audience was very pleased with the performance of our actresses and actors. During December of this year, Mr. Moxum. a man who has served as janitor of the building for many years, left. While he was in the High School, he acquired many friends. lt seemed strange not to see him about the corridors or hear him reminding some of the girls that the desks had been in service for many years and were, therefore, not substantial enough for them to sit upon. On December 14, 1934, the first Class Party of the year was held in the School hall. Students from all three classes enjoyed themselves at this affair. Some danced to the strains of Andy Haldane's Merry Music Makers, a group of our own musicians. Others played games in another part of the hall. 49 Mr-:'ruur:N I-hcu Scuool. One of the great disadvantages of the two-session day that may go into effect next year is that it seems probable that military drill will have to be discontinued. lt has been rumored that the Ball which occurred on March 29, l035. in the Central School hall was the last one which Methuen High School Cadets will hold. The hall was attractively decorated in red, white, and blue. Exhibition drilling and a grand march took place during the early evening. Dancing was held during the latter part. Because of the illness of our gymnastic instructor, Miss Dorothy Chad- wick. there was no Girls' A. A. dance this year. At an assembly in the school hall during April, it was suggested that a committee of girls take the affair into their own hands. This plan. however, did not materialize. The omis- sion of this dance was a keen source of disappointment to the girls and also a few boys who were expecting invitations. A teacher who entered the High School in 1932. the same year as we did. is leaving with us. She will be missed by her manv faculty and student friends. We. the Class of 1935. earnestly wish Miss Kohler all the success and happiness in the world. Now the History of the Class of 1935 is a closed book. In what is but a matter of a few hours, we shall clasp our diplomas in our hands. Let it not be said that we have wasted the efforts of our forefathers to advance education beyond the Grammar School and prepare us-America's plastic vouth-to meet the situations of life. lf we uphold the svmbols that have been set before us and make them an integral part of our lives, thouzh the wav be hard and the distance far. we will scale the difficulties to the stars.

Margaret: Because there are Cyril Feugill, Chief of Police, and Police- woman Mary Stafford puffing around Legion Hall bend on their motorcycles. Martin: Here come Robert Stronach, Chester Riley, and John Hewson, those tiny men, carrying a mammoth sign advertising the Thompson- Scannell Circus. Margaret: There is Major Sam D,Orto with his secretary, Jeannette Bernard, followed by his staff of aldermen. Martin: Look at those three sedate gentlemen strutting along with their shiny silk 6'toppers cocked to one side. Paul Berwick has at last become Superintendent of Schools. fPaul always did love school.j Walter Crai- chen, Highway Supervisor, was re-elected because he so successfully re- paired rough Pelham Street. Ramon Sierpina, Supervisor of Parks, has become expert in keeping cows from grazing on the public playgrounds. Margaret: Madeline Foley, State Representative, is saluting the many friends who assisted in her recent campaign. Martin: There is Colonel George Wurzbacher, highest ranking oflicer in New England, riding at the head of a troop of his cavalry. Margaret: Phyllis Stowell and Vera Nicholson, the popular and much publicized sponsors of the parade, are driving by in an An-dane car, de- signed by our old schoolmate, Andy. Martin: Listen to the medlev of those brightly dressed musicians. Why, there are Lillian Rothe and Ernest McKenzie playing trumpets, and Ruth Briggs and John Rogers having a diflicult time producing music from their trombones, as they march up Town Hall Hill. Margaret: Shirley Lake and Frederick Harnisch are playing clarinets. Aren't Vivian Sutcliffe and Warren Halstead securing lovely, mellow tones from their comets? Sl Mt-:Tuul-:N Htcn Scnoot. 1935 .llartinz Yes. And that big girl playing the bass horn is Margaret Nladden. The snappy drummer. Carlton Dill, is assisted by the husky John Hoyle. llargnret: lfdna lirackett is awakening echoes with her clattering cym- bals. How- strange that quiet little Edna should have taken up the playing uf noisy cymbals as her life's work. llarlin: Here come the dude Westerners. John Hovanasian and Marian Robinson. also Roy Nelson and Ceorgianna Hawkins. l never expected to see the day when johnny and the rest would dash by on horseback. .llnrgarelz It seems as though the wild Indians, Otis Titcomb, Kath- leen Heevers. Carl Cossar, and Martha Manahan, are in pursuit of the West- erners. lt is strange to hear them emit such blood-curdling yells. llartin: Xevart Kambegian is leading the parade of elephants on her favorite. jumbo. Emily Gardiner and Betty Doran appear to be having a diliicult time maintaining order in the rest of the herd. .llargnretz Here come the prize black and white trick horses, led by those two well-known equestriennes. Louise Knightly and Elsie Nevins. llartin: This slight wind makes it difficult for little Hedwig Sadowska and Alice Hoellrich. balloon vendors. to keep their feet on the ground. .llargaretz Verna Hoeplmer and Viola Medauer are very well adapted lu keeping those camels in perfect order. Probably Vema gained her ex- perience by keeping the sweets-hungry from upsetting her candy-room back in High School days. Marlin: Here come the daring animal trainers, Dorothea Beatty Manley and Mary Welch. elephant trainers. and Sarah Sweet, seal trainer, with their four assistants, Hyland Rowan, John Collins, Robert Hewson, and joe Marsden, who do not appear discomforted as helpers. Margaret: Here come the cages: ln the first there are two man-eating lions. The cart is being driven by Aldona Karsokas and Thelma Robinson. ln the second are two Bengal tigers driven by Doris Giles and Dorothy Nlllnlfv. ' .lfurlinz The wagon giddapped and whoa-ed by Henry Biery and :Xldona Paplaskas encloses a ferocious gorilla. It is remarkable that the beast remains quiet with all the thundering coming from the driving seat. l.ook at the tank full of seals chauffeured bv Evelyn Pittard and Andrew .-Kndrnchow. The hippopotamus cage. driven bv Charlie Callahan and Isabel Freije, brings up the rear. and proves that big things don't always go first. llargaretz Evelyn Caumond is leading a life and drum corps. She is pleasing the spectators by performing difficult tasks with her silver baton. l'inllmsillg her are Helen Mt-l.eod. Pearl Taylor, and Henry Lambert who 52 6 1935 METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL have discontinued their violin lessons and taken up the fife. Anna Kurowski and Priscilla Peabody have given up their singing lessons for cymbals. I wonder why? Martin: Rita Noonan, dressed in a uniform of deep blue with shiny brass buttons, is beating out the time on a big bass drum which is so large that she needs the assistance of John Caesar to carry it. The song that is being played is an old favorite, Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms and, to complete the beauty of the song,.Ruth Cumb in her best genny Lind manner is singing, very melodiously, from a picturesque white oat. Margaret: What's all that noise? Why, it's the peanut vendors. A common enough sight at a circus parade, I suppose, but what a commotion! Oh! I see, Robert Searle and Joe Scanlon are arguing because they both want to sell a bag of their peanuts to Ruth Noble. She always did love peanuts, you know. Martin: Look! the aerialistsl There are winsome Georgianna Croes and Robert Hyde, the famous tight-rope walkers. They surely will make us hold our breath when we watch them perform this afternoon. And so will the great team of Mesrobian and Schwarzenberg with their daring stunts on the flying trapeze. - Margaret: lsn't that Grace Morin balancing Lois Finethy? Great sense of equilibrium, I'd say, and look at Marie Berwick and Gert Jones turning continuous somersaults. There's something unique!-six white dogs trained to perform tricks at the command of their mistress, Rose Mills, and her team- mates, Rita Bruno and Ruth Mitchell. Martin: Look at the natural performers, Howard Jones, Badrig Bedro- sian, and Albert Gordon, the three greatest clowns in the world! That is usually a very hard act but they seem to have an easy time making the spectators laugh. Margaret: There are my favorites--Helen Nichols, Mary Louise Mc- Auliffe, Rita Livingston, and Isabel Taylor, the trick riders. They risk their lives at every performance to make the show exciting. Martin: Freaks are in every circus, but the ones advertised on that large banner being carried by Florence Duggan, Elizabeth Welch, and Bar- bara Hanley make all other freaks minute attractions. Al Groswald, the sword swallower, Margaret Spooner, the stout woman, are among the most notable. Richard Orr, the giant, and the two midgets, Jack lTom Thumbl Carter and petite Anna Byrne, surely make a perfect set of opposites. Margaret: That must be the human cannon ball, Claire Lowry, with her assistant, Ruth Lawson. Wouldn't it be a calamity if Ruth should, by mistake, ever put in real shells instead of the prepared cartridges? 53 METRUEN Hlcn Scnool. Martin: Dressed in typical snake channer attire are Anne Thorpe, Allhea Drouin, and Julia Krukonis. They blow their oboes with strenuous determination to keep that King Cobra in a peaceful mood. Margaret: Who are those two people shouldering their way through the large crowd in Marian Kfoury's Kandy Shoppe? Why, they are Tommy Ciadello and Gladys Tidswell, each enjoying a chocolate fudgicle. Martin: An attractive banner advertising the band competition of Guy Beal! Silly 'ivncopaters vs 9hirlevCox's Rh h R - '- ' ' . . 1 . . . . 1 . yt m amblers, is being carried by Sophie Zekis and Doris Robinson. l tmderstand that those two maestroes are widely celebrated in the musical circles of the country. Margaret: Did you know that, along with the band competition, there is also going to be a dance competition to decide which of the two most famous dance teams is the better? We shalf not know which one to cast our votes for, however, because Alice Ginger Mortimer and Alphonse Astaire Hatem with their splendid dance routines are classed with Bar- bara Keeler Libbey and Ernest ,lolson Richardson. Martin: Have you heard the thrilling news that two popular members of the Thompson-Scannell Circus, Mary Crowther and Arthur Hill, have come back to their old home town. Methuen. to be married in a cage full of lions? Mary intends to keep on satisfying the appetites of the circus people with her delicious cooking and Arthur will continue his hectic career as water boy to the elephants. Margaret: The shrill whistling tunes of the colossal steam organ fore- lell the end of the parade. This particular organ is the only one of its kind and was made especially for this circus in the Searles Organ Factory man- aged bv Clifford Nelson and Vera Taylor. lt requires three competent ladies, Marian Goebel. Barbara Rragdon, and Gertrude Merrill. to operate tt. .Martins Oh, there is the last thing in the parade. What is it? Why, it's an old. old. l935 Maxwell machine and that is Seth Lambert driving. with l.eocade Leighton and Edna Strauten sitting up on the hack seat. The large sign on the back reads. Come to the Thompson-Scannell Circus. MARTIN Swvrrsm MARGARET Ki-:t.LsnsR 54 1935 MET1'IUEN HIGH SCHOOL Gllaas ill Know all men l,y these presents that we, the 1935 graduating class of the Edward F.

ARTHUR HILL PRISCILLA PEABODY 59 - 'Wiv- Mi-rraur-:N I-Inca Scaoor. 5 fl9rzdinn UD.-XY. we, the Seniors of Methuen High School, meet on these dear grounds to plant the ivy, which will keep alive our mem- ories long after we, as a class, have departed. Many of us here fail to understand the true reason for planting this modest and too green plant. Many ask themselves, why not plant a beau- tiful rose bush. or a fine magnolia? Despite the opinion of this group, the years go by and the planting of the ivy remains a solemn tradition. Perhaps the ivy is too green, lowly as compared with the beautiful roseg perhaps it is neither dainty nor fragrant. but, as in the case of men, we can- not judge plants by external appearances. The glossy green of the ivy is is a mark of endurance and strength: the seeming insignificance of the ivy is in mark of its scom for elaboration. We plant the ivy for two equally important reasons. First. the ivy beautifies every unbeautiful place its persistent, daunt- iess tendrils reach: giving youth to decayed spots and wom surfaces: en- lin-ning the bare. red walls with timely splashes of bright, fresh, living green: and it touches them with new beauty and freshness that young men and young women, old men and old women, who love fresh, growing things will ever enjoy. Second. the ivy is a climbing, plucky plant, the symbol of deathless ambition. a persistent. obstinate, little vine, whose twigs shoot out in all directions: grasping, nipping, feeling their way, till, at length, they secure a hrm place to fasten upon, and there they cling, in spite of thunder, lid!!- ning. rain. or snow. The young climber, if it may be aware of them, aelmow- ledges no obstacles. lt knows no impossible heights, but goes over this cornice. around that liuttress, until it reaches the highest pinnacle. - nf economic and political difficulties in our changing social system, no young man. no voung woman. can hope to succeed without the necessary grit, the plucky endurance to fight on. knowing no obstacles, recognizing no set-boi. fighting in the face of dilliculties. seeking a place in the world, jud like the With like determination. we must face the.world.of today. Because ivv If we do not fight we shall be crushed. beaten down by those DOI! lIIl-- 4 4 liilious than ourselves. We shall be plunged into that bottomless of dim obscurity and live forever as common laborers, a future nd to anticipate.
