THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC lives in Wakefield. Harold MacAnanny is married and lives in. Worcester. Eldred Patch went two years to Dart- mouth and then transferred to Massa- chusetts Agricultural College. Played some hockey according to the papers. George Eiley is now in the insurance game, although he’s tried several things including a little bit of law. We’ve heard him speak at town meetings. Dorothy Green confesses that she is working “in town”, meaning Boston, but fails to say where. Edith Ewing was working in the box factory, Wakefield, according to the la- test reports. Olive Goudey is employed by the Edi- son Electric Illuminating Co. of Boston. Mildred Krohn is with John Hancock Life Insurance Co. of Boston. As to mj ' self, Dick Barnstead, four years of Dartmouth for a B. S. and one year with the Stoneham Independent have convinced me that law is my fu- ture, so I enter Harvard Law for three years of work this fall. And there you have the class of 1924, as completely as we could get them under the circumstances. I might say a word for the benefit of those of the class who read this. Only three of the forty-seven felt that they did not want a reunion, the remainder were heartily in favor. However, it is a very hard thing to organize. The time to hold one is on the evening of Saturday, June 15th, but that is here already. Perhaps I one might be held in the fall, but it I would take much work to find out just who could be there and those who could not attend. The class of ’24 takes a bow and steps into oblivion as a unit. Its individual members may be seen now and then, ! but the rest remains only as a memory, or the form of a picture hung on the wall. May the future bring you all good luck. And to the graduating class of 1929, best wishes for success and a future of happiness. Adieu, for aye.

Grace Frost, 86 Hancock Street, is a bookkeeper in William W. Babcock Co., | Construction Mortgages and Insurance. She lives at home. | Elwyn Gay, 469 Main Street, is a | chauffeur.

Louise Pickens, 45 Stevens Street, is a multigraph-typist for the Converse Rubber Co. She only has to say for herself that she has gained 50 pounds and is no taller. Well that’s something, we should say. Robert Harrington, 3 Moulton Avenue, is an engineer with the N. E. Tel. Tel. Co. He’s been to engineering school at Tufts as well as being associated with other technical companies. He and Norm Pierce certainly team up well in that line. Lawrence Carter, 107 Franklin Street, has been one year with the American Trust Co., two years with the Boston Stock Exchange and one year traveling New England. He must stick to work out-of-doors so he’s going on the road again, he expects. “One never can tell,” says Kitty. Eugene Rotundi, at the last moment, gets an interesting letter in to us. He’s at home, Franklin Street, in the contracting business with his father and brother Charlie of ’25 fame. They em- ployed forty-five men last year, built a state road in 1928 and expect to repeat this year with more business. His weakness is the opposite sex so he’s keeping busy night and day.

Thibodeau “Say, did you hear of the new math course?” “No!” “They put the answers on the board and tell you to make up the problem.” These last few days everyone is washing us Seniors the best of luck in our future life work. Well, how about Miss Moore and Mr. Porter? Didn’t they say they were graduating too? Give them a little sob story about the fact that they’re having the best time of their young lives now. Oh, and don’t forget, “If you only knew it.” We hear a poor little Soph-o-more was drowned the other day. He was a good swdmmer, but his boat upset in a lake v;here there was no swimming allowed. Recipe for ’29’s Success We always laugh at teacher’s jokes, No matter what they be. And not because they’re funny. But because it’s policy. CLASS NOTES 1929 The Senior Class held its banquet on ' the evening of May 21, at the Hotel | Kenmore. A large per cent of the class ; were present, and the affair was a great | success. Scotch Hamill, the toastmaster, kept us entertained, and introduced the j speakers very cleverly, both in song (?) j and poetry. The speakers of the even- j ing were: Me. Nadeau, Mr. Watson, Mr. Porter, Miss Vera Moore, Mr. Earle T. [ Thibodeau, Miss Poland, and last but I not least was our own Mr. Gordon. The ! student speakers were Dorothy Wessell and Joseph Lundregan, and, of course. Bob. Mr. Gordon spoke on “Romance” and I’rn sure his speech caused no little discussion — and in a different way than it was meant. We’ll try and broaden out romance for you, Mr. Gordon, and on the athletic field as well. You must have rehearsed your speech to Miss Moore, Miss Poland, and Miss French prematurely. Pictures, pictures, everywhere, and not a one to be had. This really seems to be the true state of affairs, for al- though one sees pictures floating around E. T. T.: If you weren’t talking, Hib- bard, you were listening to Pierce. C. H.; Well, I can’t button my ears! E. T. T.: All right, take twenty min- utes to study it. E. T. T. (after twenty minutes:: Studied it? Any Senior Class the last two weeks of school: Studied what? We wonder if Mr. Alden also prefers “Home Thoughts From Abroad” to any of Browning’s poems? The Senior Class is informed by their own teacher advisor, that they can work out their own salvation. Where’s the school a’goin’. And what’s it gonna do. And how’s it gonna do it. When we Seniors all get through? We, the Class of 1929, of the Stone- ham High School, take this opportunity to bid adieu to the rest of the High School. We wish them the best of luck, and as much success in their undertak- ings as we have had in ours. And so, we say au revoir — but not goodby. Dear Marie: If I had you under the Carolina moon. [ 29 ]
