GRADUATION NUMBER 1932 The Best Class On May 12th, the Seniors enjoyed a very pleasing and “long to be remem- bered evening” at Longwood Towers, Brookline, where they held their grand “finale,” the Senior Banquet. Toast- master Jimmy Clark introduced the speakers with many humorous jests and puns which were readily returned by the speakers. (May we mention Mr. Thibodeau’s witty sallies, here?) The chaperones were: Mr. and Mrs. Varney, Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mr. and Mrs. Na- deau, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Milton, Miss Spinney and Mr. Thibo- deau. The committee in charge was: Thomas Finnegan, Chairman ; Vera Driscoll, Pauline Miller, Kenneth Hanson and Robert Thompson. — X — The class extends to Gertrude French and Lewis Parks its hearties tcongratula- tions as the winners of the MacDonald medals. We wish these two students, who have something to arm themselves with on going out into the world, all the success and victory obtainable. — X — The final Senior GirPs assembly was held June 8th. Pauline Miller led the devotional exercises. The girls had the unusual opportunity of hearing Mrs. Margaret Eggleston Owen speak. The committee in charge was Pauline Mil- ler, June Yeaton and Priscilla Marsh. — X — The recent Memorial Day Services in the High School “gym” were carried out very successfully. The seniors who took part showed unusual ability in pat- riotic service, an indication of what we may expect from them outside the school. — X — The S. H. S. baseball team has certain- ly showed wh at “progression” means. Thanks to the work of “Warrie” Downes “Billy” Jones, “Will” Avery, Charles Frost and hany other seniors the base- ball team showed “fans” how to play a real game. Dorothy Corcoran was elected chair- man of the senior class day. The com- mittee in charge: Carlton Connor, Ruth Anderson and Robert Thompson. Al- though class day is not an affair of the past at the time this is printed, we know it will be one grand success, as all sen- I ior affairs are ! I On June 9th the girls of S. H. S. held i their annual track meet. The girls of the class of 32 have won all the track meets for the past six years. — X — Remember, class of ’32, our motto, “This far and farther.” — X — The Best Class The class of ’32 h as one honor which no other class graduating from S. H. S. has ever had or ever will have. We entered the junior high in 1927, the same year in which Principal Watson entered. We have the rare honor of being the first class to graduate under the total guidance of Mr. Watson. We sincerely hope that we have proven our- selves worthy of such an honor. — X — Miss Holmes : “Mr. Davis, what is one fourth times eight?” Mr. Davis : “Two.” Miss Holms: “Now, Mr. Davis, you can’t make me believe that one fourth [times eight is two!” Mr. Davis : “I am not going to try i to convince you.” ■ — X — It is surprising to note on one occasion during the last of the school term, how ten junior girls obeyed the smallest whim of the senior girls at a moment ' s 27

THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC notice. We wonder how these seniors could have possibly trained the juniors to such a depth of meekness and humil- ity! — X — Songs “In the Gloaming’ — Class of ’31. “Sitting on Top of the World” — Class of ’32. “Good-by-blues” — Class of ’33. — X — Mr. Thibodeau was very agreeably surprised at the history projects which the seniors worked out for him. Per- haps the seniors really did endeavor to convince thier czar that they had “it.” “It” certainly went across. Ask E. T. T. — X — For Future Remembrance “Give a man enough rope and he’ll hang himself.” — X — Mr. Thibodeau certainly appreciates ink spilt on his desk during class meet- ings! — All those applying for the posi- tion of “Ink tiller” ask Mr. Thibodeau for references. • — X — ■ The juniors seem to look up at us with an envious air and call us “Happy-Go- Lucky You” — are we seniors? What about the P. G’s. — X — Heard in Biology Mr. G. : If the parents both have brown rves, brown eyes will be domi- nant in the children — and the same way with blue eyes.” H. Brown: “Well, Mr. Gordon, what if you have one brown eye and one blue eye?” Mr. G. : Impossible.” II. Brown: Well, I have.” R. Hunt: Well, she must be a freak!” — X — The Best Class May we note here how kind and pat- ronizing the junior’s have become. Perhaps their kindness comes from the fact that they feel they will soon miss us. We are convinced that their “p at- ronizing air” is assumed because they will soon hold our lofty positions. We sincerely hope they will be able to do it, in the graceful and accurate way which we seniors have accomplished it. — X — Juniors, we bid you “good day” but not goodbye. We hope we have formed a sincere friendship with your class j which cannot be broken in the years to come. May we always remember the ' S. H. S. spirit which we have enjoyed together in our sports, activities and work. We wish the juniors all the luck in the world. Set an even better stand- ard than our class and the classes be- fore us. “Top of the day to you,” juniors ! — X — At the publication of this Authentic the seniors will be together for the last time. We, as one assembled body, wish to bid adieu to the following: the fac- ulty, teachers, coaches, students and ad- visors of S. H. S. We have gone this far, we intend to go farther! — X — Congratulations to the members of the business course for their loyal sup- port of their class officers. Congratu- lations to the class officers of the busi- ness course. — X — We hope that the girls of the incom- ing business course will derive as much instruction, pleasure and enjoyment as we, the girls of ’32 did. — X — Following Mrs. Owen’s advice, the girls of the Commercial Club are striv- ing to “put a little romance in typing.” ■ — X — Who elected our vice president to pa- trol room 3, anyhow? — X — The business course students are proud of the fact that most of the pupils on the honor group were from the busi- ness course. — X — Why — Does Leah Temple insist on doing extra work in accounts? Does John McKinnon dislike writing book reports? Dolly Cook can’t think “what to write on the boy friend’s picture?” Does Christine Perry like to be the “teacher’s waitress?” Does little “Dot” Tole never grow up? — X — Business Course Notes Perhaps some of the inmates of room 13 could enlighten us as to why the “worthy advisor” of the above room is so insistent on having all slips so speci- fically initialed. — X — We have noticed the history projects on the table in room 13. Among the articles were some instruments of tor- ture, namely guillotines. It might be 23
