Q, 1' ,,.i,1. hx xml., 4- c,HRoN1c'LE ditoerzkzl THE CLASS BOOK Our Class Book this year varies in one or two ways from the Senior Class Books of pi'eceding years. Formerly, the work for the book has been done chiefly by the Editorial Staff, the same as other Emblems, but this year the Senior Class is taking the whole work upon themselves. Another change is in the financial part of the business. Before this year, the Emblem has always given most of the money necessary for the issuance of the Class Book, the Seniors con- tributing only a small sum, but this year the class is paying most of the expenses and the Emblem only a small part. We have arranged for the regular subscribers to the Emblem to get the Class Book included in their yearly subscriptions, but it will be necessary for us to charge non-sub- scribers fifty cents for this book be- cause of the cost of the magazine. This price, however, does not quite cover the expense of a single copy! We believe you will enjoy every page of its contents-and--take into con- sideration the class that is graduat- ing! We have also decided to give our Class Book a little more individuality, than it has had previously, by giving it a name. Formerly, it has been simply the Senior Class Book, but this year we have selected a name that we hope will be considered appropriate enough and good enough to be adopt- ed by future classes for their annual. We greatly appreciate the help and co-operation we have received from the typewriting department, and from all others who have aided us, financially and otherwise, to make our book a success. And so, we Bid Farewell to Dear Old Lewis. N fi f M, .. V V,,.,,.EM,, .'w1'4a:s'z- f.-...A gy io mphy WILLIAM MARTIN DEGNAN Bill Taste refined, wisdom and wit were his.

The class re- ceived twenty cents for each ticket sold by its members. The proiit amounted to thirty-six dollars and thirty-five cents. 1ll.1 DRESSES A girlish giggle, a flutter of white disappearing around the corner of the teacher's room door proclaimed the fact that the Senior girls were choos- ing their graduation dress. The Con- vey Shop, Muriel's and the Barbara Stone stores from Meriden, also Jor- dan's from New Britain, submitted dresses for selection. The final se- lection was made from Muriel's, all the girls naving decided to dress alike. -i...-.

The gates were opened to them and Commander-in- Chief Blanchard took them under his command, starting them forward on the Battle of Sixteen Points. We hardly realized then what a battle we had to fight before we could conquer. Our first task was to elect the officers who should have us under their com- mand for the coming Year- Afteli due consideration, Mr. Davis and James Serafino were elected Generals, and Mae Mulligan, Lieutenant-General, While Fannie Rodman and Elizabeth Wallace were the Colonels who should keep our records and money. Then the Sophomores, after putting the Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Libby, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Phelan, Miss 111. Mildred Bedford, and Mr. Robert Warner will act as patrons and patronesses. The committee, Lucille Andrews, Lois Kilbourne, Atea Travers, Vincent Pryor, and Merton Foskett, is work- ing hard and promises a fine time for all. Manaware's Northern Lights will furnish music. L CLASS MARSHALS A class meeting was held Thurs- day, May 22. Edward Ely and Eliza- beth Wallace were elected as marshals for graduation. 21950 ry THE ARMY OF 1930 boys through an initiation, thinking that possibly we were feeling lonely, gave us a masquerade party. Every- thing progressed splendidly for the rest of the year, our corps making its presence felt by taking part in the competitive assemblies and by having the distinction of having 14.5 per cent of its number on the Honor Roll. By the end of the year there was still a goodly number to continue with the battle, only thirty-nine hav- ing dropped out, they having either been cashiered or wounded too se- verely to return. Great was the re- joicing when the notice was read that Edward Ely had won the Fresh- man Algebra Prize, and that we were all on leave of absence for twelve weeks. 22 ,CHRONICLE On September 7, 1927, we were again called to duty, this time by Commander-in-Chief Phelan. First came the election of officers. After much deliberation, we elected Robert Reinhard and Miss Trafton Generals, and Edward Ely, Lieutenant General, Fannie Rodman was again elected Colonel and James McNerney was newly elected Colonel, to care for our money. It was now our duty to look after the Freshmen, and so, after duly initiating them, we gave a mas- querade 'party for them, raising the money for it by means of a cake sale. This year our problem was that of rings, but we finally decided to cen- tinue with the regulation school ring. Once again we withstood the battle fairly well as only twenty-five of our number fell back. We had been fight- ing hard for thirty-nine weeks and were beginning to wish for a short leave of absence. Our Commander-in- Chief must have heard us complain- ing for soon a notice was read stating that everybody might go off duty un- til September 5th! But how quickly the summer flew by! It was September 5th before we knew it. The next year passed just as rapidly. After we had elected our oflicers, who were Mr. Warner and Edward Ely, Generals, Richard Snow- man, Lieutenant-Generalg Lester Kennedy and Jeanette Glasnapp, Colonels, it seemed almost no time at all before our annual cake-sale was over, and the Junior Prom, which was the first in the annals of the school for which admission was charged, was all too soon a part of h'story. Our corps was again honored by the fact that two of our nursber, Private Mae Mulligan and Lieutenant-General Richard Snowman, were elected by the Emblem Board to go to the Schol- astic Press Convention at New York. Then came debating. with the Inter- Scholastic debate in which sAtea Travers from our ranks took part and helped win a victory, and the Junior Recital, at which both Vincent Pryor and Atea Travers won prizes. After many hard drills, we advanced in full battle formation to attack the Army of Examinations. Strong indeed was their barricade, but most of us came off victorious from the assault. When they were over, everyone was again on leave of absence until September. With the coming of September 4, 1929, the army of 1930 made its way up Academy Hill in a dignified manner for its last year of fighting. Our problem this year was Money, Money, Money! Our officers, who were Miss Bedford and Edward Ely, Generals, Adelaide Schumann, Lieu- tenant-General, and Atea Travers and Richard Snowman, Colonels, had an especially hard task to perform,- that of pulling us through this year of fmancialtroubles and worries! But, undaunted, we started straight for- ward on the Campaign for Funds 5 first came a cake sale which netted eighteen dollars, and then a dance in November and another in April. Among the Dramatic Club perform- ances this year was a play entitled, A Full House, the proceeds of which went to the Army of 1930. Little by little, we made attacks and came off victorious with the coveted S350 in our vaults. Everybody has fought hard this year on the Battles of Chem- istry, Essays, or History, but every- one of the original fifty-eight who en- tered in September with us has won the battle. Even the siege of the camera was unable to subdue us and so, after two more good times togeth- er, Class Night and Senior Prom, our sixteen points having been gained, We will receive our Diplomas of Honor- able Discharge from the Fortress on Academy Hill and start forward on the Battle of Life. if 'mfs' fi: 1, J ' - CQVRONICLE 3?

Adelaide's smile is sunny As maid she was very funny, In her good nature it made no dent To be the G. R.'s president. Atea is the brightest lass Of all the girls in our whole classy And French will never make her flinch She thinks that that is such a cinch. Dick sure does like a Cheshiriteg He sees one almost every night g He thinks her eyes are, oh! so bright, To protect them he would stage a fight! And of the boys who is smartest? Who is quiet and works the hardest 'Z I would answer on demand, Bill's the one, our youngest man. Dot Hurlbut is a quiet maid Who has a winning way, Her smile flashes in and out, Whether at work or play. Alexander, tall and dark, In Hi-Y was president, Made all the members hark To his advice, 'twas quite a lark. Lois Carley used to have Long and golden tresses, These she cut and likes it wellg So everybody guesses: A Cheshire lad is Ronny Without a bit of guile, It drives the blues away To see 'his sunny smiley W John and Jean are prophets bold, Often have you heard that told. They've looked into the future years That you may meet them Without fears. The most studious girl of our whole class Is Stella Zakrewski, a likeable lass, She's modest, shy, and basnful, too, And always has a book or two. Lois Kilbourne got peeved at us, And went away to stayg Then she decided we were best, And came back to join the fray. Kufta comes from Milldale, I-le is the teachers' baneg For when they try to keep him still, He only laughs again! Erma lives in Marion, She comes upon the busg On missing it she has to walk And makes an awful fuss. Grant runs his old tin lizzy, So fast it makes us dizzyg It will your mind with wonder H11 To see him guide it up a hill! If Marge should walk out every night, She'd sure be in an awful plight If no lad from S- should come, To see her safely to her home. Merton Foskett has the fate Of often coming in too late, P'rhaps 'tis 'cause he comes so far He cannot get the early car. Frances drives a little carg It is a dark blue Nash, And everywhere that car does go She drives it like ca flash. J F 3, ef 3 if, 3.yr,,x: 5,7 V ' -A-A-H-5-MM ...I-..9lUI,Q.Nl C Lillian is so very short, She is .so very blondeg She's like the dainty flowers Of which she is so fond. Francis Sce our dancer is A shiek no less is he, And may he dance the years away All through eternity. In our class we have a flirt, And we've always called her Gert, Up from Milldale she does come With smiling lips and chewing gum. From out the west comes our own Joe He hasn't got a single foe, For he has never deigned to frown On anyone around the town. Gladys types at a merry speed Fast and perfect is her creed. Whenha teacher's away or ill, Her position she capably fills. Bob lives out on a farm, Where crickets chirp 'til dawng But rustic scenes dull not his brain For he general honors did attain! Lu is our athlete, A mighty fine one, too. And if you start a sale or dance- She's the one to bring it through. Albert is a manly lad Who is both tall and fair. And if you want a problem solved, He will surely do his share. Frank's another that drives to school He never breaks a traffic rule. When you pass him on the way, You think he's in a rattling Chevrolet. Gwen Aldridge came to us Nine whole months ago. She's wedged herself into our hearts And we like to have her so. Cur cartoonist is Callahan, He makes 'em f21S'C, alld how! He edits all the sporting news Of the Emblem Column now. Zi Among the crew, that serves us lunch Are two girls of our class, Mae and Helen are their names And each's a bonny lass. Jimmy is a merry lad As round as he is tall, ' And everyone who says he's sad Is not right at all. Mil cares little, so I've heard, For Democracy and Law. But with her spirit for the school, You'll not find a single Haw. High over the pole does Kennedy go, He also beats the drum, He keeps the whole class smiling, When he's near, we're never glum! Emily and Florence Are two very dear twins 5 Florence wants to be a nurse, And Emily at Rider 'soon begins. Our bashful girl is Thelma J ., But at debating she's O. K. Now, don't you think that's quite an art For one who is both clever and smart? Mildred with her tresses long Lives on Academy Hill, She can make a cake that's light, And sing a song with many a trill. Harry's taken a course in Ag , His interest there will never lag. In after years upon his farm, He'll practice it without any harm. Another who on committees does serve And a lot of credit deserves, Libby Wallace, an old friend, Who to the Dramatic Club's business attends. Marie is a maiden, Slim, and tall and neat, And if you ask the boys, They'll tell you she is sweet. 4 e..w'v,w ,M 26 IMQHEQ N1 C L E .- Julia Mariconda On Carter Lane doth live. She comes to High School every day Although the sky's a sieve. Here we have another Heleng Slim and trim, and very cunning. She doth often come in late But, alas, that is her fate. Who's good natured in our class '! Richard Newell, ask any lass. If at home he can't be found, He is just-er-roaming round. Julia wants to have a desk, A pencil, and a pad. She wants to be the steno OI some fine movie lad. If you want a student, And one who's very iineg Here is gentle Bernadine, Study is just her line. Vinny is an actor rare For character parts he has a Hare. At debating he's a shark, He plays and sings just like a lark. If a girl is popular, That girl is our own Mae. She has a host of friends That increases every day. Fannie wants to be a nurse, She is both tried and true, las Know ye, all men, women, and teachers by these presents, that this document is, was, and always will be, the last will and testament of the Senior Class, graduating in 1930, in the Town of Southington, the county of Hartford, state of Connecticut, district of New England, United States, Western Hemisphere, the World, and is to be considered, more or less, legal in no senses- Q S So if you're ever sick- She will take care of you. Delmore and Ramolia Goode You, who together ever clingg Now, that we together are Your praises we will sing. In this nineteen thirty clan, We have a future business man. If your accounts are in a mess, Ray will help to right the stress. Le Verne lives on Oakland Road Of this illustrious town. He hopes to go to college To wear a cap and gown. Statia's clung to Glee Club All through her High School years, She's taken part in all events, And is quite a singer, so we hear. Marian to college wants to go There to play tennis and to row. She has always been a sport And shows her mother a good report. 'Tis a shame that Milton, Named after a poet, Would not endeavor At this time to show it.

For fOU-1' YCEWS We have been striving toward th1S Gnd, graduation from Lewis High School. When one has reached his goal, .he often wishes to share. his JOY Wlth those who have aided him. We thank you for you have given us the ODD-01 t ft' for this training, and during' un QV , H the course of the four yeais you have generously given us your encourage? ment and support. During this time we have been learning by what means or tools, in- dividuals and nations make progress. There are tools mental, and tools ma- terial. Two of the most important of the material tools for man have been the pen and the plow. In our own country these two implements have been the means of progress. Benjamin Franklin once said, The pen in mightier than the sword. In the year 1776, the pen, skillfully wielded, recorded the Declaration of Independence. Again in 1782, the .. 1, 'S .1 Wx' - .a se CHRONICLE A wisely guided pen signed the treaty proclaiming us free from England. The sword Won us our independence, but it would have been of very little use if far-seeing minds had not in- spired pens to gain co-operation and form one united body. The pen en- trusted to paper one of the most pro- gressive documents ever written, the United States Constitution. We owe to it the fact that we have progressed from a band of a few thousand people to a nation of one hundred ten million people. Since those days of 1776, we owe much of our rapid development to the pen. The modern invention of the typewriter has but multiplied in- definitely the original long feather with a quill to transact our business, to circulate information, to inspire to wise action, and to furnish enter- tainment for leisure time. As the pen paved the way for the printing press, so the plow paved the way for modern farm machinery. The first thing which the pioneers had to do on the new continent was to plow the land and raise crops for food. It was a desperate struggle to raise food to carry on life itself. The settler could not advance one step until he had raised food to feed himself and his family. Thewooden plow was used. Just as the pen was the fore- runner' of the typewriter, so the plow was the forerunner of the tractor. Each hardy plowman, as he plowed, saw a vision of a nation, a govern- ment free from tyranny. He entered a war to carry out his resolution, but the army had to be fed. Again the need was met by the plow. In time of war, it was not always the man be- hind the plow but often the woman. So it was that in the making of our country the pen and the plow were companions. For a century and a half, we Amer- icans have been advancing step by step. We have gone successfully through four great struggles uphold- ing our Constitution and the policies of our government. Now, we not only feed ourselves but many other na- tions of the world. We are educating our young people so that they in turn may fight their battles with the pen. The history of the United States shows that the pen, the plow, and progress are grappled together with hoops of steel and that go insepara- ble through the ages. -Atea Travers. cllechctoffy The Salutatorian has already touched upon material Tools of Progress. These will be used by the graduates of the class of 1930 as we continue to advance. But there are other Tools of Progress besides the material ones. These tools are not tangible but they play a very great part in ourslives. There is a large number of these, but we shall consider only three of the 1110513 1mDO1'tant: ambition, education, and accuracy. I The first great Tool of Progress is ambition. This must, of course, come from within. No one else can help us to acquire it. This is perhaps the most important abstract Tool of ,, .W , in Y is Fiiifi:5f57f5':'i.'Q H f' 3-5.355 jf . is r 5, im, .L., N., - , cf X . , CHRON ICLE 37 P1'0g1'6SS: Without ambition very few achieve success. Success falls into no man's lap. It must be pm-- Sued QQSGTIY and persistently. The world is so full of trained men and women that for every position there are several applicants. To make a place -in the world one must constant- ly drive forward. If we win only a smallsuccess, we should use it as a stepping stone to greater things, and we should not rest upon our laurels. Ambition is a very necessary ingre- dient of success. The second great Tool of Pro- gress is education. This serves to bring out our talents, and to show us our limitations. Without education we should not know for what we are fitted. It shows us what we can do best and trains us to use our abilities. By using our talents, which are brought out by education we can serve humanity, which is the greatest end for which we could strive. Edu- cation helps us to be better citizens. It teaches us how to get along with our fellow-beings. As human beings we have a certain duty toward the rest of humanity. Education teaches us this duty and how to discharge it. Education is the Tool of Progress which we may possess in these days of public high schools, bv effort but which does not come frem inborn characteristics without effort. A third 'Tool of Progress is aC- curacy. Be careful are 1TY1l301't31?t words. The commander of a- STUD must be careful while 9Ht91'1U2. 3 harbor, or a collision with loss of life may result.. A locomotive engineel must be careful or there will bf a wreck. We must be carcful 01' 21 slip may wreck our careers. Be care- ful is a good motto to carry through hfe- ,This quality of accuracy may be acquired and everyone should try to cultivate it. In the last four years we have had the opportunity of gaining that degree of education and accuracy to which our ambition has spurred us on and in behalf of the class of 1930, we wish to thank the citizens of Southington for the opportunities which they have given us, and for the benefits which we have received through our school. We realize that we are in their debt and will try to repay them by making our best ef- forts in the world. We wish to acknowledge our debt to our parents. Without their self sacrifice and their aid we should never have enjoyed the privileges of a high school education. ' We wish 'to express our gratitude to the members of the School Board, to the Superintendent of Schools, and to the Facility of Lewis High School for the time and effort spent in a'ding us to get an education. We bid fare- well to them with sincere regret. We bid farewell to the underclass- men, and we wish them the greatest success in the remainder of their course at Lewis High School. Classmates: Together we have journeyed thus far from the sunrise of our life. Let this not be the sun- set! Far distant be that day! And now the Class of 1930 bids you all a fond farewell. -William Degnan. ....,aQin1c-3E3a-.-- CHRONICLE 1 eflections Suggested by Milto'n's Sonnet on Arriving at the Age Twenty-three. When I look back upon my sixteen years That I have spent in this great world and wide And think of River Time's swift flowing tide That all too soon will make us part in tears, My mind grows sour with many bitter fears. Oh God! it starts protesting on its side And thusly seeks my Maker to derideg But then it listens to my soul and hears, Be happy for the past and have no fears: The future lies ahead and thou shalt bide And find new friends and live and learn to ride This plunging charger, Life, and tame it, dear. But Oh dear Classmates, I can ne'er forget These wonderful four years since we first met. -Thelma Johnson thletics BASEBALL SCORES Lewis -------- ------'--,---- 4 Meriden ,,,, ..........,... 12 Collinsville H --------'----- 10 Thomaston 5 Thomaston Simsbury , Litchfield I 7 Collinsville 7 Plainville . 12 Simsbury .
