' I -ri ,rw 'liacrsga IN a very short time your high school days will be over. Soon the members of the Class of 1920 will be scattered all around. Some of you will go to higher institutions of learning and some of you will start working as soon as you can get a job. In the course of ten years you will probably not even remember the names of more than two or three of your high school classmates. Each will be filling his place in this busy world and there will not be much time for you to sit down and call back to memory those days spent in high school. When the class first organized there were many more than at present. Dur- ing the four years, some moved away but many more dropped out. You have stayed with the class, have reached the goal of your high school career and you will be the ones who must go out and prove to the world what Lewis High graduates can do. Will you make good or will you fall down on the job? That depends on you. In high school your work was not half so hard as it will be during the rest of your life unless you inherit much money. A noted army officer stated that at NVest Point reunions, of each class, the members of that class generally stood in the same rank comparatively as at graduation. NVill your class be like that or will some person with only an aver- age grade rise above his classmates and gain fame and renown while the honor pupils are regarded by the world as only average? That, however, only time can tell. As you leave Lewis High School let every one do his best and forge ahead as best he can. Farewell, Class of 1929, and remember your motto: Lift not Lean! At this time The Emblem wishes to thank Miss O'Neil and all students who did any typing for it. NVithout this co- operation we would not have been able to get The Emblems to press as prompt- ly as we have done. Again, we thank you all. Page six: , 1-awww - L T HE ,-A 1 1 . X .1 .

SALUTATORY ARENTS, teachcrs,.and friends, we, the graduating class ot Lewis High School, welcome you tonight to our exer- cises. ll? as the dictionary says, a host is one who treats those under his root with generous kindness, we feel that the citi- zens who have provided the means for our high school course, our parents who have given us our time, and our teach- ers who have helped prepare us for life --all have been in a sense our hosts while we have been under the roof of the public high.school. Now it. is our privilege to offer you hospitality. Hospitalitzy is as old as humanity and has been expressed in as many different ways as there are different peoples. Some of these observances have been very elaborate, others very simple, but they have always shown gratitude and happiness in man's heart tor the presence ol' friends under his roof, and for the privilege ot food and shelter under another's root. Our lflnglisli word hospitality is derived from the Latin word hospes meaning guest.. 'Phe hospitality of the Romans embraced not merely the spon- taneous welcome to bed and board ot a man's near kindred and friends, but a contract for mutual hospitality, written or otherwise attested, which could either be between two individuals or between two communities. 'llhis contract for hos- pitality remained binding upon the de- scendants of the contracting parties until formally and publicly annulled. One of the simplest 'Forms of hospitality which is often mentioned in the Bible and which is still in use in oriental countries and among certain Arabian tribes today, is the sharing of bread and salt with guests. This act forms a bond of loyalty and lfriendship between the host and the guest, symbolizing by this use ot the necessities ot lite, that one will never see the other want. After studying these ancient practices, one might decide that hospitality has declined, since those times, and many people of today do claim this. But this we are not willing to admit. NVE' have our own ways of expressing hospitality, begotten by present day conditions. The machine takes the place of the maid, and a seat in the car, now and then, is just as true hospitality as a seat at your hoard, and does not necessitate the hard work ot the hostess which in former times was so fatiguing as to mar her pleasure. The secret of true hospi- tality in every age is the willingness to share and to serve, to entertain in our hearts the thought of anothc-r's happi- ness, instead of habitual selfishness, for it is Not what we give, but what we share,- For the gift without the giver is bare. Again we welcome you, and hope that you will enjoy the evening.

S THE EMBLEM YA .,., . , ,. Page Nineteen THE CLASS OF '29 IN CLUBS Musical Clubs HE Glee Clubs have done very well this year. We are happy to say that there are seven Seniors who have stayed with Miss Stowell for four years. They are as follows: Bernice Bristol, Mar- garet Curran, Anne Cushing, Anna Francis, Doris Pryor, George Hopko, and William Pryor. Although the Glee Club did not come home from the Inter- scliolastic contest. with first place this year as they did last, the girls did come home with second place and the boys with third. To settle a bargain made at the time of the contest, the boys gave the girls a. dance. This dance was well attended and everyone enjoyed the even- ing. The Glee Clubs combined gave a musical festival in the town hall on April 25. This was one of the most. artistic musical events ever undertaken and was highly praised by those who attended. The orchestra also has a delegation ol' Seniors. Marian Thomas, Alfred Buell- anan, and Andrew All'ano have been in it all tour years and have profited inueh by the opportunity. The orchestra takes a large part in all school affairs and adds much to assemblies and plays. il li ll' The Civics Club The Civics Club, formed this year under the leadership of Miss Edstroin and Miss l-lassett, has proved a great success. Members ol' the elub were taken to I-lurtford to see the capitol and other interesting bnildingrs some ot' whieh. were the Trave-ler's, the State Library. the Morgan Memorial, and the court house where they saw cases tried. The Class of '29 is represented in this club by eight meinliers. 'li' 'll' 't The Debating Club The Debating tfluli, made up entirely ol' Seniors, has also had a most' sueeess- l'ul year. On the twenty-second ol' April. Ruth Ralston and Dorothy Johnson with the alternate, Earl Carle. debated at liewis High. At the sanie time Allfred l2uehanan and Atea Travers, 730, with Marian Thomas as alternate, went to C'onnnt-rcial lligh in New Haven to de- bate. Mr. 'Robert Bruce from Meriden leligrh acted as judge at Lewis. After the debate a social hour was enjoyed by the debaters and the Debating t'lub. XVe were grlad to hear that our debaters had carried off the honors at both places and we thought that we did not go to so poor a sehool after all. A After so hard work, Miss Gardner thought there should be some play so on the evening ot' May 25 the elub had a poverty party. Everyone dressed in the ,oldest elotlies he eould find. and evi- dently Lois barley found some rather old ones lieeanse she took tirst prize tor looking the most poverty stricken. Mar- ian Thomas also looked penniless and was a close set-ond. reeeiviiie' honorable mention. liveryone wearing jewelry was assessed one eent for eaeh piece. After supper. we were privileged to listen to a debate on the question: f'Resolved: That Gentlemen Pre-t'er lilondt-s. The al't'irinative was upheld by Alfred lliuelianan and Iiarl t'arle while the negative was argued by Aiea Travers and Mr. Davis. Everyone got a Page Twenty THE EM-BLEM great kick out of hearing Mr. Davis so bravely uphold his side of the ques- tion. He seemed to talk from experi- ence. Look out, all you brunettes! Everyone brought a mysterious pack- age containing a pound of something, nobody knew What. These were auc- tioned off by a most brilliant auctioneer, Alfred Buchanan. Each bid could be raised only one cent at a time and each sum bid, had to be paid regardless of its being exceeded. Al made a consider- able amount of money for us, 51025, by making everyone raise the bids. He threatened to take all the packages himself if no one raised the bid and so the members thought they had better bid up if the packages Were so desir- able. The teachers were most generous. They helped us out a great deal in our plub and We Wish to thank them for it. Miss Pryor with her curly locks and dark skin made a perfect little gypsy Who Went-about holding people's hands and telling them who their future Wives and husbands would be, as Well as im- portant events that would take place. She contributed much interest and money helping to make the affair most successful. This party was the final event of the Debating Club of '29. More power to the club of '30! Girl Reserves Success has also come to the Girl Re- serves this year. They sent three dele- gates to the annual conference in New Britain. The D. A. R. very kindly gave a number of cooking lessons to the girls fine our class belonging to the Girl Reserves. The members' names will be found in the biographies. - ac- oc- ae this year so We hope to have some cooks among the ten members of The Hi-Y 's i The Hi-Y's have had many hot discus- sions, it seems, on school and social problems. Most of the members are Seniors so there will be a big Vacancy to fill in the Hi-Y when the Class of '29 graduates. This club held a combined S meeting With the Orepho in May, and are planning a' Hladies' day for the fif- teenth of June. ,Y K W The Orepho. Club The club, which is somewhat like the Hi-Y, is the Orepho Club. It is a new club which was formed this year. Out of the six members, four are Seniors Who sincerely hope that the club will be car- ried on by the Juniors. A The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club is Well established by this time as it has shown by the two fine plays that have been presented this year. The Senior class is represented by eighteen members Whose dramatic abil- ity will be greatly missed. The experi- ence has been enjoyable and profitable. if F14 2? The Nature Club The Seniors are not so well repre- Isented in the Nature Club. There are only two Senior members, Helen Upson and Tekla Grosky, but they are most enthusiastic over the Work of the club. Wins W. C. T. U. Prize Extra honor comes to the Class of '29 thru the Winning of one of its members of a prize in an essay contest. Miss Frances Field Won not only the first prize in a local essay contest conducted by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, but also Won second prize when her essay was sent to the Hartford County judges. 'PHE EMBLEM Page Twenty-One LOG OF TI-IE CLASS OF 1929 N the year of 1925 ninety worthy sea- ' amen received passports from Com- mander liihby tzo take a four years' cruise on the good ship Lift Not Lean on the Sea of Knowledge. After sailing from the port of Lincoln School, we saw the need of a brave and daring captain, so Berkeley Miller was elected to guide the crew through the lfirst: year's storms. We crossed the equator and were promptly ducked hy those who had already crossed the line. Avast ye lub- hersf' the captain cried, lower those sails, we approach the Freshman isle. Hail! King Blaneliard and his hand greet. us with a cheery smile. YVe were C1'L1!:lI'i'f'l'tfLl in what is known as room tl under the rule oi' liady llassett' and were 'told the laws ol' the lsle. Early in No- remher we were pleased to learn that King' lilanchard and his followers, the Sophoniores, were giving us a reception in the form ol' a 'lllilStll,lt!l'iltlt' dance. liooni tl was very nieely deeorated and the a.l'l'air was an immense suecess. bpring' came and with it the cry ol' the cap'n, Buckle down, you luhhers, l see hreakers ahead. EXllllllllElllOllS over, we weighed anehor to sail the seas l'or the rest. ot' the summer. As the summer drew to a close, we ap- proaehed Sophomore Isle. Eighteen ol' our number we regret to say. were washed overhoard hy the t'erril'ie storms which we had eneonutered. This island was also ruled over hy King lllanehard who grave us a eordial greeting' and eon- gratulated ns on having' sueeesstully .. rv 1 weathered the storm. XX e elected XXal- ter Nelson as our new eaptain and set- tled down to spend the year at hard work. Alter ln-ing' on the Isle a short time we notieed a group ot' strangers eeeupyingg our tornier island. As they seemed to he very desirahle citizens we i't'lllil.'l't'll them a reeeption to show we were glad to have them near us. The deck was Qaily deeorated and we are sure the Fresliies l'elt weh-onie alter such a festive al'l'air. A gain we hear the lumiliat' voice, Work, ye sea dogs, clouds appear on the horizon. YVe packed our effeets, fillllllltifl on hoard and were again ready to resume our gjourney on the good ship Lift Not Lean. The voyage was long' and the sea was rough but at last we saw Junior Isle in the distance before us. The hardships had been too much for some and our crew had now shrunk to lfifty-three members. Great was our surprise when ywe arrived at the Isle to find that King li'-laneha1'd had ahdieated and our form- er teacher and friend, King Phelan, was ruling in his place. The island looked so pleasant that we disemharked and de- cided to spend a year here. After work- ing hard for halt' a year we decided it was time for something' in the soeial line. We held a hot elass meeting and planned to have the -lunior prom on l ehrnary 2l. At. last' the longed-for day eame. The deek was deeorated in a hat- tle ol' colors and the at'i'air went ot'l' with a ln11ig'. and a good time was had hy all. Some ol' the aeeomplish- ments oi' the year were prizes won hy lflranees Field and Helen I'pson in the Ilarttord tfounty Automobile Associa- tion eontest.

XVe weathered the tropieal storms, our crew having ln-en redueed to forty- live. and early in the tall neared our goal, the Senior isle. Our eaptain. Nel- son. had heen so skillful in guiding us through the storms. that we decided to have him pilot us for the remaining' year cn the ship. tlur treasury was so deplet- ed and we needed so ntueh to Uraduate. the only way out ol' it was l'or us to he- tffllllt' hloody pirates. We soon settled down and hegan to work with a will writing essays. pounding- typewriter-s. and doing other tasks whieh were put Page Twenty-Two THE EMBLEM before us? Miss Gardner, a native of Senior Isle, wishing to make our sojourn more enjoyable, staged a party in our honor. We played games, competed in contests and had a very fine time. In February Mr. Carrier put on the play, A Pair of Sixesf' in which several Seniors took part. After the play the good ship Dramatic Club was about to weigh anchor when we swooped upon them and stole the treasure. In the deck of athletics the Seniors were very suc- cessful especial'ly in basket ball, prac- tically the entire team being composed of players from our ship. We are very proud of our Debating Club which won in a skirmish with one of the largest high schools in the state. And now as we near the end of our stay on Senior Isle our hearts are sad- dened for soon we shall have to embark again to sail forever on the dark and stormy Sea of Life. O Class! dear Class, our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, NVhile follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring, The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done, From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won. PROPHECY . MY how time has flown since 1929 when we graduated from high school. It is now 1940 and from the fol- lowing letters we see that our class- mates have traveled far from the old fold, but they all seem to be going in the right direction. Letters have been received from the following students informing us that they are teachers: Elsie Olsen Helen Di Francesco Frances Field Edith Casale Anne Cushing Margaret Miller Anna Francis Elsie tells us that she is teaching in a little boys' school in Brooklyn, They must be very bad little boys because they put tacks in her chair and red pep- per on her handkerchief. IVe find Helen is principal of a grani- mar school in the Philippines, that place over whose welfare we debated so hotly in our Senior year. They are lucky to have such a good-natured teacher as Helen must be. Frances says, I am teaching Latin in up in the Alps. The air and the scenery so beau- a girls? school is invigorating N tiful that I want to stay here always. Frances is lots higher than most of us. I mean. in altitude. Anna Francis taught school in South- ington until she was married. She is now teaching-the baby to walk. Edith is teaching first graders in Holcomb School which has increased in size, but is used no longer for high school dances as the new high school has an auditorium of its own. Anne is a happy teacher of commer- cial subjects in Madison High School. Madison High School seems to have its problems just as Lewis did. No parking signs have been found necessary in the halls and no charge accounts at the cafeteria are allowed. There is a Man- ual Training teacher who seems to be of interest to Anne. We learn from Margaret Miller's let- ter that she is a teacher in New York. lncidentally she is interested in a man of the tall, dark, romantic type. f Nursing seems to have attracted a goodly number of our flock. The follow- ing write that they are nurses: Arlene Swenberg Dorothy Johnson Hazel Grooman ffli E' E MBLEM Page Twenty-Three Kidd i A i - - A -- -.. - ....- -W Myrtle Howell Arlene's story is like a fairy tale. After becoming an R. N. she succeeded well for three years. One day she was called to Riverside Drive, and found at the end of her journey a veritable castle in which was an invalid hero. She is now mistress of castle, hero, servants, and all. The deft hands of Myrtle Howell daily minister to the sick. She writes that she is a nurse at Bellevue Hospital, New York City. Dorothy's eagerness to learn has gained her a high position. She says, I have at last risen to the pinnacle of my ambition and am head nurse of the Hartford Hospital. It seems that she helped' the surgeon saw off a leg one day, and I think from the tone of her letter that she likes him a great deal. She must like him to have done such a job. Hazel Grooinan has traveled far, al- though she now resides in New Haven having given up her position as a nurse. She is going to be married to the leader ol' a hunting expedition whom she met in flndia where she went with a commis- sion that. was making experiments to find a cure for a deadly disease. Hazel has a pet lion cub which she prizes more than the diamond ring her hunter man has just presented her with. The other members ol' our class are engaged in various occupations. Vera Anderson writes that al'ter two years at Travelers Insurance tfonipany in l'lart.l'ord, she was transferred to Springfield. 'l'here she met her tate in the form ol' a blonde giant ot a man. Vera writes, Ile has a lflourishing real estate business and we have a darling little home in the suburbs. Al last Charles Atwater has tound a .fitting position. Charles is with the sue- eessors of the Barnum and Bailey Cir- cus. lie writes, l get plenty of travel and sometimes compare niysell' to the famous rolling stone which gathers no moss. Margaret Curran writes that she is busily engaged as a stenographer at the Travelersi' in Hartford. She has mar- ried the 'Lworld's tallest man and holds him in complete captivity. Another stenographer gone wrong! Bernice Bristol was snatched up by a San Francisco dress manufacturer who said he needed a wife to show off the beautiful dresses he manufactures. She is one girl who doesn't have to worry about clothes. Marian Thomas writes from XVasning- ton, D. C., saying she is a private secre- tary to a government official. She hasn't much leisure time hut can always lie counted upon to he at home when- ever a certain Columbia professor calls. lt it had not heen for the play, A Pair of Sixesf' presented hy the Dra- matic Cluh in 15729, Earle Carle would not he where he is today.

She has been in Italy ever sinee she was married two years ago. George llopko is now singing with the Metropolitan Opera tfonipany. His role at present is the toreador in tfarnien. llere is another letter from New York City. Frank Romano writes, I ani now assistant editor ot' the New York Times. On the trout page the other day l saw that old Lewis had won the National Debating ehanipionship. One of our class poets. Ti-kla tirosky, informs us that l rank Romano has all Page Twenty-Four THE EMBLEM the poems she can write, printed in the New York Times. To eke out her in- come she is raising silves foxes. Kenneth Smith, residing in New York, has smashed the world's record for the hundred yards at the Olympic games. His time was nine seconds. He writes that he must have had a lot of luck but we know better. Determination to succeed has made Alfred Buchanan professor of math. at Columbia College. He writes that math. is his sole interest in life but we repeat that, we know better. - Tom-f'Miss IVrinn contributes to the fame of our class by writing these memorable words, I keep that 'school girl complexion' by the use of Palm- olive soapf' Tucker is a human ad for Palmolive makers.

Elizabeth Sunderland writes, HI am dietitian in a large hospital in Louis- ville, Ky. I am developing a true South- ern accent and have had to give up my pet squeals as a hospital is supposed to be a quiet place. Ive have another inventor in our class. Charles Schumann has invented a tiny electrical device for curling the eye- lashes which is guaranteed not to burn. He has established a factory in China and there is a great demand for these little instruments, as the Chinese girls are as vain as our American lassies. Helen Upson has opened an office in Baltimore for conducting her business of interior decorating and landscape gardening. She has for her pastimes writing poetry and giving house parties. We are invited to come down for some week end. From Cheshire comes a letter signed by Dana Foster and Robert Huxley. They are successful partners in farming in that vicinity. Waiicla Guterch writes to inform us that she is a successful dentist in Hart- ford. Wesley Scott is located in Meriden. He is a very busy public accountant. From Newport, R. I., we hear of Bill Boyce. He is a marine inspector for the government. ' Ralph Hoyt, who still resides in South- ington, reports that he has just finished building a new high school which has a much needed gymnasium and a good sized auditorium. Elizabeth Stone's letter states that she is prosecuting attorney in Southing- ton. Doris Pryor writes of a successful beauty parlor in Southington and a suc- cessful matrimonial venture. Our class sheik, Andrew Roberts, writes that he is the author of the well known book on How to be Popular NVith NVomen. NVe expected something like this. Many tourists visit him at his home in Southington. Persevering Ruth Ralston has gone up the ladder to success. Her letter in- forms us that she has been initiated into the intricate position of being president of the Southington bank. Andy Alfano writes that he is a busy bookkeeper at Pexto's. Al Peasco, quiet but efficient, writes that he is now manager of the Economy Grocery Store at Southington.

Page Twenty-Eight TI-IE EMBLEM VALEDICTORY ANYONE who has read Hawthorne's H will re- House of Seven Gables member how a young New England country girl found herself in a gloomy old house built by a remote ancestor, there to live with a distant cousin, a pessimistic old maid, and her demented brother. This girl, with her genial tem- perament, common sense, and gift of practical arrangement made not only sunshine but money for them, coming to be indispensable to the household. How many girls today would have the strength of character to stay and win against such great odds! A great many girls would have become morbid in the lonely, cobwebby, old house and said I cannot stayl' or lf I only had a chance like other girls! But this girl did not. She, with cheerfulness and sim- plicity, helped to change its atmosphere completely. . lVho cannot be pleasant under pleas- ing circumstances? XVe must have a character strong enough to call upon when we find ourselves in untried and not altogether pleasing circumstances. Are we satisfied to develop our charac- ter just enough to roll along in a rut, or are we going to have some resources in body, mind, and morals? A person's character and personality is not judged wholly by his behavior and temper under ordinary conditions, but his real character is discovered when he sudden- ly is called upon to act in an emergency. People who seem brave and courageous to us under ordinary circumstances often when they come face to face with real trials show us that they are not really brave, while people whom we think weaklings and nonentities often show clear minds and a hidden strength in an emergency. 8 H 'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, NVhen life goes along like a song, But the man worth while, Is the man who can smile, Vfhen everything goes dead wrong. And so it is with a girl. Members of the Board of Education, Mr. Superintendent, Members of the Faculty, Parents, and Friends: I have been given the privilege on behalf of the Class of 1929 of thanking you for all you have done for us during the period in which we have been under your care and of bidding farewell to you all. For four years you have helped us in school and out, with lessons for character and for mental development in preparation for our future work. NVe have on the whole dwelt under pleasant circumstances, and we hope we have here gained something which shall enable us to adapt ourselves to conditions be- fore us and make circumstances instead of being unmade by them, as did the little heroine of our New England story. It hardly seems possible that the course in Lewis High School, which for four years has been our major interest, is completed and that we are about to live more on our own than ever before. At first the feeling is that we are adrift since no longer every hour of our daily program is marked off by a bell. Classmates-some of us are going on to higher schools and some of us are going immediately to work. All of us are going on with our education, we can- not help it, the difficulty will be to get the right kind of education. May it be such as shall strengthen our grasp on essentials and further our reach upward, and help us to make our school and coin- munity proud of us. -Farewell I . az QIIF . 1. . die ' fa-H eq Af' K.
