THE CLASS BOOK I-Iave you ever stopped to think of the many different kinds of stones which exist? Ordinary stones, mill- stones, rhinestones, gravestones, step- ping-stones, grindstones, birthstones, all kinds of stones. But of none of these would I make more than pass- ing mention, for I am concerned with still another stone, the milestone. In the event of the graduation of the Class of '31 three distinct mile- stones are involved. Yet these are so closely allied as to be inseparable. In the first place, Lewis High School has reached a milestone in her career. Another year of service to the community is completed, another year spent in educating the youth of this vicinity has drawn to a close. Lewis has gone one mile further on the road without an end, the road of education. um fvxmfmmwamww wan-me The second milestone is the one which the Senior Class as a whole has passed. During four years, the Class of '31 has been working its way to- ward graduation, the ultimate con- clusion to its days of activity. Finally, it has reached this goal and hereafter will assemble only at reunions between which there are long intervals of time. Lastly, each member of the grad- uating class receives a diploma which represents a milestone in his life. Some will continue their education in higher schools, others will go directly into the business world to use that ability which they have already de- veloped. All will look back upon their graduation from high school with pleasure and satisfaction. It is a milestone in their lives, but not the final goal. It is a step on the way toward becoming worthwhile men and women. Page Fire Page Six -at CHRONICLE?-Q iogmphy LILLIAN WHITE REQUA Lil It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.

Pflgv T1L'l'7lfjf-UNI lass Dear readers, we hereby submit The labor of many fair days, Now if it with favor you greet, Your kindness this labor repays. Now, please, ere we start on this Venture Give audience first to a word, It is, that we've written no slam- ming Nor should any slam be inferred. And also we crave of your patience, A great deal of it we shall need. Our words have to fit with our rhym- mg, So little to quaintness pay heed. So, after much long delaying, We'll now our epic present, A It's time! we hear you all saying. Let's go, then! Are ears kindly bent? We know of two maidens, the sort Who are now satisfied with their lot- Miss Heller just longs to be short, While Miss Mary Abata does not! Straight and stalwart -the Major , A veritable hero is he. Our play brought forth his abil'ty, But he'd practised before that, you see. Gladys Andrews Cmay Fortune exalt her!J Her talent in writing's no mystergy And one thing's as sure as Gibraltar, She made a good job of our History! Albert Casale likes the French, And how he can sling it - Oh My! In the French play he sure did repay His teacher's hard efforts. Some guy! s Page Twenty-t'wo get CHRONICLE Ives'- 08771 Miss Arbour may possibly be A hairdresser great some fine day. The gentlemen all you will see Asking permanent waves sans delay. O'er our ship of state he presides, And wisely and well has he done. His name - have you guessed it? - is Dortg He shall find his place in the sun. Miss Beebe's a talented lassie Who plays the violin very well, Her stories are also quite classy, Some people would say they were aswell. Our class boasts a giant, no less, From Milldale comes Lou - quite a way. In sports he excels every time, An upstanding young man, one would say. , Do you know that Miss Bingham's a lawyer? In equity she doth excel. Just think of the lucky employer Whose lawsuits she'll manage so well! Up in the clouds is our Howie, At least, there his thoughts often gog To aviate is his ambition, The great world his genius shall know. All hail to our young Mistress Mary! Whose last name, you know, is Bitel. She never is one bit contrarv, But behaves most remarkably well. -MI CHRONICLE 144- Roger Edwards doth greatly excel In dramatics and scholarship too, For he has worked wisely and well, To him fitting praises are due. Oh, why aren't there more Betty Blanks ? Such a happy and popular lass! We give her our heartiest thanks For the help she has been to the class. A lanky young red-head is Joseph, A breaker of hearts iso they sayl 5 This fact - it does not surprise me, I don't doubt that the statement's O. K. Casey Degnan and Al go together CAnd Ferrucci and Pal are near byl. They are found thus in all kinds of weather, To deny it would be a big lie! During this last year of High Entrusted to Ferut was our treasure. IIe's kept it right well, we would say, His doing it's given us pleasure. Our Dot has a long walk to school, But instead of appearing a-weary, She meets everyone with a smile And a greeting good-natured and cheery. L:1rry's a good baseball pitcher. His loss next year will be felt: His teachers will miss UD him from classes, We're sure into tears they will melt. A pleasant young lady is Fritzi, On loads of committees is she. We hope that she'll not get so ritzi That her classmates of yore she can't see. If, as you look 'round the school, A bright-shining red-head you see, 'Tis Adam and none other but. Another air-man is he. Gertrude Galick is clever with pen- cils, With typing and all that pertainsg She has run off a great many sten- cils And all with the greatest of pains. Apart we cannot describe them, They go hand in hand in a pair. Their names are Leon and Clement, For history and Ag they've a flair. Miss Gasecki with favor impresses All those whom she chances to meet, She wears the most charming of dresses And always looks dainty and sweet. When anything needs advertisement From Harold one gets it always, He just goes and makes up a poster Which ever much talent displays. A bookkeeper right in the making, Miss Gudat, of course, is the one. Her accounts will be neat and pain- staking, Adding up to a fabulous sum. In trackmeets Bruce Lindsay sur- passes While leaving behind him much dust. His motto for so we suppose ith Is I'll beat that record or bust! A singer is Miss Ruthie Holmes, In the glee club she's been for four years. Her singing would e'en charm the gnomes By entrancing their musical ears. Pugv T11-vnty-rl11'n You all know a lad - he is Macky, One sec'y this year he has been, He writes up the sports for the Em- blem, On time his work's always come in. From New Jersey Miss Betty Holmes hails, And though she has not been here long, Popularity's high sea she sails, Her admirers from a great throng. If on the street you should see A flash both burning and bright, Don't worry, it's only a car. And whose? J. McNerney's. You're right! Nettie Howell has a great disposition, She's a girl Very much to our liking. And e'en though you may not have known it, Her hobbies are tennis and hiking. From Main Street hails Mel falias Moosej A wonderful street that must be. At least so in our eyes it seems To produce such a good man as he. A person would be very thick Who never had noticed this fact 5 Barbara Knipfer is surely a brick. For comrades she never has lacked. Next on our list comes Sparky. To some a young cynic is he, But to others who know him much better A good guy he is taken to be. Miss Meeker will make a great nurse, When she is so happy and gay, Her patients will never get worse, But recover with little delay. N Page Twenty-four -wail: CHRONICLE :bee As in the? future one looks Q He sees Andy a business man great. He's struggled and striven here, We're glad he's been our classmate. You probably know the old saying, Good things in small packages come. Well, this is the way 'tis with Perkie Who's scarcely as big as Tom Thumb. A chemist and athlete is Albert, And in other ways too he excels 3 You can be sure that no maiden His company ever repels. There is a young scholar named Lil- lian, Of a very bright cast is her mind, In truth, we've got her for valedic. Dame Wisdom to this one is kind. During these four years of High, Paul Reussner to a title has claim, It is the best comer-in-lateg He cheerfully takes all the blame. Miss Reinhard's exceedingly pretty, The nicest and neatest of girls. But Oh! It would be such a pity If she ever was shorn of her curls! In a rattling tin Ford goes Jimmy To visit a lady named J---, At such times fierce wlnds are as breezes, And pedestrians flee where they may. Tillie Wolff a young mermaid would be, A palace of seaweed, her home, Built in the depths of the bottomless sea Where gay octopuses do roam. f -iff CHRONICLE Iw- On the Emblem Ken Walker has served, The business of it he has done 5 He has to his own affairs tended.- Few people have that course begun. Maddie Zeimet's a notable blonde, With hair of a glorious hue, And complexion all pinkish and white, The envy of more than a few. Gus a good manager is, On several teams he thus served, He's done a large bit for our school, And ne'er from his duty has swerved. lass Know Ye All Men by These Presents: That we, the Class of 1931, Lewis High School, of the Town of Southing- ton, Conn., being of sound and dis- posing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare the following to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made.

One weap- on only they had with which to fight these beasts. Around them the pop- ulace assembled to see their contest. Tonight, we stand at the entrance to an arena, the arena of life. We see ahead of us figurative wild beasts which we must conquer. We have one weapon with which to fight our beasts. That weapon is our education which you have made possible for us. Around us you are thronged to watch our contest. The gladiators had naught but life to lose. We have much more. As Fosdick says, we have in our hands the spoiling or the fulfillment of your hard-won gains. You have made sacrifices for us and have striven hard to give us our pres- ent happiness. Inestimable privileges and C'DDO1'I-lll1ltiP'K have been ours bfi- cause of you. Through you we have had higher education, which has lJ1'Oll,'f','l1i1 us increased breadth of mind and clearer vision. Desire for know- ledge and ambition have come to us through you. Friendships we have made through you which will be life- long. More has been done for us than we can ever repay. For these reasons, we cannot fail. For you we must win to partially repay our debt to you. The gladiators, as they en- tered their arena, cried, Hail, Cae- sar! We who are about to die, salute thee! We, with your trust in our hands, cry to you, Hail! We who are about to LIVE, salute thee! Today's watchword is Progress Today's command to her youth is, get ahead! Today's demands are speed, accuracy, efficiency. But T0- day's hope is based on Dreams. The connection between dreams and actual deeds is not hard to see. It is plain that a person must have an inspiration or dream first before he can do any great work. However. between the dream and the deed there is one impo1'tant link. 'That link is preseverance. It may be said with perfect truth that dreams have made the world what it is. It max' also be truly said that the world still depends on dreams to bring it to a 1'IlfIl T1l1'1'fg1-flaw'-I higher place. But it may not be said that dreams alone have such powers. Dreams are but the impetus. It is dreams, coupled with perseverance, that have made the world what it is, and it is on dreams and perseverance that the world's future hangs. 'Our own country owes its greatness to these two things. Her great men have dreamed and persevered to make their dreams come true. In the stormy days of our country's birth, Washington had a dream of liberty. Against the almost over- whelming odds of a great opposing army backed by the resources of a great nation, he, with but a small, ragged, ill-trained army and a few resources, through unspeakable mis- ery and discouragement, succeeded in making his dream a realty. Persever- ance carried the day. During the same trying time, Franklin, in France, helped carry out the same dream of liberty. He work- ed long and arduously for two years, trying to induce the French king to aid our cause. His perseverance was not in vain. It was France's aid that turned the tide of the war and brought us the long-hoped-for liber- ty. ' Jefferson dreamed of a vast Amer- ican empire when he bought the Lou- isiana territory from Napoleon. Pub- lic feeling was against his buying it but was this time on the wrong side. The United States owes a great debt to Jefferson, his dream, and his perseverance. , Pioneers of our country, from our earliest years, influenced by dreams of empire, unflinchingly advanced across the wild land in spite of Indian opposition and the hard life. The ever westward march of civilization, 'M Page Tlzirty-fozm' ...eq CHRONICLE ya led by the pioneers, kept on for three hundred years. The pioneer dream is today realized. Great cities with towering buildings are to be seen everywhere in our land, enduring monuments to their dreams and la- bors. Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Douglas, and Lincoln had the dream of freeing the slaves. They, in their turns, fought for forty-five years to accom- plish this end. Though the Civil War nearly split this country in twain, the slaves were freed at length and a blot on our land's fair name was forever removed. This victory can be accred- ited only to perseverance. We have famous inventors-Edison and Ford. Their dreams are now ac- tualities. It has taken them many years of patient experiments, trying failures, and hard work to bring them to the pinnacles of success on which they now stand. What a great loss would have been ours had they not had the fortitude and perseverance to carry out their great dreams! Our schools we owe to men like Hor- ace Mann. Horace Mann clearly saw our need of education and dreamed of bringing that enlightenment to us. He beat against the wall of public dis- approval, broke it down, and gave us that inostimable gift. His work was collossal, and opposition great, but today schools are a part of every com- munity, the result of his dream and perseverance. The past has given us the examples of great men to follow. Their dreams and the ways by which they made them deeds are ever before us. If we wish to make our dreams deeds, we must follow in their footsteps. ln dreams is the world's hope, in per- severance is its security. -f -'H-I CHRONICLE yel- aledicfory Our American poet Longfellow has written these lines: Act, -- act in the living present! Heart within, and God o'erhead! The living present - what word could better describe it? The past no long- er throbs with eager life. Were it not for memory and the pages of his- tory, the Past would be dead. On the other hand, the Future is a vague ex- panse of dreams and shadows, a realm whose secrets lie hidden from the eye of man. He who dwells continually in the Past becomes stagnant, his grasp upon the Present relaxes, his life stands still. The man whose thoughts are only of the Future is a dreamer, a visionary, aloof from the swiftly flowing current of life. But the man who believes in the Present, focusing his thoughts neither wholly upon the Past nor yet wholly upon the Future, after giving careful consid- eration to each, sets forth to make the most of the present hour. Doubtless every person has his own conception of time. Benjamin Frank- lin has called it an herb that cures all diseases , Cicero, the hearld of truth g while Shakespeare conceives it as a clock setter. To us it appears as an endless road emerging from the mists of eternity only to vanish once more in their embrace. It is not a straight road. As the eye follows its course, it perceives a single bend. That part of the road which lies be- hind the bend is the past, while that which lies ahead is the future. The Living Present marks the bend which changes the road's direction. The Past influences the Present to such an extent that the Future, though proceeding in the same general direc- tion, glances off at an angle from its former course. Thus it is with our lives at this point. This evening of our graduation marks the end of our days in high school, and places them in the past. This present time is a bend in the road of our lives, causing them to proceed in a somewhat different di- rection from that toward which they have tended hitherto. The general direction will be the same since in one way or another all of us will con- tinue our education. But the slant will be somewhat different for our way no longer lies in high school. Some will enter higher institutions of learning, others will immediately go into business. In either case, what- ever his lot may be, wherever his road may lead, the Living Present bids each one do his best. Members of the School Board, Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Principal, Mem- bers of the Faculty, Parents and Friends: We, the members of the graduating class, wish to take this op- portunity to thank you who have helped us during the past four years. We thank you for the effort you have put forth on our behalf and for your ready interest and encouragement. Not until the last few weeks have we fully realized what it would mean to leave our high school. But as the last days of the term have slipped away, we have been conscious of a growing reluctance to sever these ties. Classmates: For four years we have been togetherg now the time of part- ing is at hand. As we set out in life, let us remember our class motto. Facta Non V erba-Deeds Not Words. It is a fitting watchword to bear in mind in this vital, Living Present. Farewell. Pllflt' Tili'7'ffl-'IDI-l ...lf CHRONICLE jgw L. H. S.

Butler pitched a very good game for Lewis and as well as pitching he did well at the bat, having a two bagger which was the longest hit of the game. Shelton 12 - Lewis 7 Lewis received their first defeat at the hands of Shelton on Shelton's home field. A great many errors lost the game for Lewis.

Trade 9 - Lewis 7 Lewis suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Trade School. The lack of hitting and poor support was the cause of the defeat. Lewis 9 - Watertown 5 Lewis defeated the strong Water- town team on our home field with Butler in the box. Butler's home run and Norton's triple and double were the outstanding hits for the day. New Britain High 6 - Lewis 3 Lewis travelled over to New Bri- tain conficlent of beating N. B. but came back disappointed. Gianatti pitched a good game for Lewis but tl received ragged support. N. B. High 6 - Lewis 3 Lewis this time could not avenge their defeat and went down at the hands of Linnehan, N. B. High's star twirler. Lewis 4 - Simsbury 0 Lewis defeated Simsbury, their old rivals, in the first league game of the season. Butler was on the mound and did well for Lewis, while Leach took the honors at bat with two hits out of three trys to bat. Lewis 7 - Kingswood 2 Lewis upset all the dope by de- feating the strong Kingswood Prep. School at West Hartford. Ferrucci and Gianatti split the honors at bat for the day. Lewis 8 - Plainville 4 Butler pitched a wonderful game against Plainville, allowing them on- ly five hits th1'oughout the game and handed them their first defeat of the season. Gianatti's three base hit was the feature of the game. This puts Lewis in first place. Lewis 10 - Simsbury 1 Lewis easily overcame the Sims- bury team for the second time this season. Butler's airtight pitching was too much for the Sinisburfr team while Leach's home run was the fea- ture of the day.

CATALOG ON REQUEST This Space FUR SALE DEAR STUDENT: T Now that you have a High School education, what are you going to do with it? A high school training is not adequate prep- aration for business. It will not, of itself, lift you out of the vast throng of mediocre workmen. -It DOES enable you to determine your own future. It can START you toward the realization of your cherished ambitions. The profession of business offers quicker and more definite returns than any other worth while, career and leads to unlimited wealth, influence, and usefulness. If you are contemplating a university course and have not the 35,000 or 356,000 necessary for its completion, and a like amount to prepare for some learned profession, and then enough to sustain life until you can build up a practice, a preliminary course at PEQUOD BUSINESS SCHOOL may be the solution of your pro- blem. Many have defrayed college expenses, increased college credits, and opened the door of business opportunity by such a course. You cannot escape the need for a knowledge of business meth- ods and procedure. Too often the master of the learned or the artistic profession is robbed of its financial benefits because of an ignorance of business. Every one pays for a business training whether he attends business school or not. PEQUOD BUSINESS SCHOOL will continue in session all summer. There will be available, Q11 Short, intensive courses for college students 3 C25 Expert speed classes for advanced students of Shorthand and typewritingg Q35 Beginning classes for those ambitious to anticipate September opening. High school commer- cial graduates can win the Typewriter Awards and qualify for the Uniform Examinations of the N. E. B. C. A. given at PEQUOD. Select the subjects you wish. Enter July 6 and continue for four-six-or eight weeks. Fall opening, August 31. C. Z. SWISHER, Principal. PEQUOD BUSINESS SCHOOL Journal Building Meriden, Conn.
