22 THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC infield hockey were Dorothy Oppen, Dorothy Cleve- land, Mary Ringland, and Virginia Fiumara. The cross country team was supported by Frank- lin Shay and Ralph Gould. The junior social was another success added to our record of social achievements. We decided to purchase class rings in our junior year so that we could avoid the expense during our graduating year. Dorothy Oppen headed the com- mittee and Dorothy Meehan and John Buckley were her assistants. We decided on a gold ring with a gold emblem on a blue enamel background to rep- resent our class colors, blue and gold. The biggest event of our junior year, the junior prom, was piloted to success by an excellent com- mittee headed by James McDonough. This was a successful climax to the social part of the year. John Mahoney and his committee turned out an excellent junior “Roll Call.” We, as junior, helped to carry to success “The Mock Trial,” A. A. night at the theatre, and the A. A. circus. The junior marshals were Maryalice Conley and John Buckley and the head junior ushers at the graduation of the class of 1934 were Dorothy Mee- han and Roland Buckley. This concluded the third lap of our voyage and we anchored for the last time to prepare for the final and most strenuous lap of our long quest for the treasure, education. After our rest of two months we returned ready for the task set before us, the task of conquering the many obstacles that occur in a long trip of this type. A stormy passage lay before us; a quiet sea, behind us. Our captain was John Buckley; the first mate, Frank Simons; the keeper of the log, Dorothy Mee- han; and the purser, Roland Buckley. The keepers of the staterooms were Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Davis, Mr. Thibodeau, and Mrs. Coy. John Mahoney and his committee did an excellent job with the senior social. The seniors have taken the lead in varsity sports this year. Leo Maghakian, Frank Simons, John Enfugian, Robert King, George Lufkin, Eliot Atherton, James McDonough, Michael Mustone, and co-managers Robert Prive and Albert Dyson received football awards. Ralph Gould, Melvin Arnold, and Donald Wallace won honors in cross country. The letter winners in field hockey were Dorothy Oppen, Dorothy Cleveland, Dorothy Amo, Dorothy Hynes, Dorothy Meehan, Betty Blackburn, Evelyn Halgren, and manager, Maryalice Conley. Leo Maghakian, Harry Russell, and manager Byron Hampton were the only seniors to receive awards on the basketball team. The hockey team awarded letters to John Buckley, Michael Mustone, Robert King, Philip Riley, Ray- mond Finnegan, and manager, Malcolm Watts, George Van Etten, and George Larkin. The seniors decided to keep the same class pins that had been used in previous years. Herbert Monson headed the hop committee. The effort extended by the seniors served to make the hop a social success, even though it did not prove a financial success. To help the finances of the athletic association the seniors participated in the minstrel show. They helped to make the A. A. night at the theatre a huge success. Our second attempt at a circus was an even greater success than the one last year. A new idea in cheering was worked out and the seniors who helped put it across were Franklin Shay, Edward Palmer, Francis Seaver, Frances Larkin, Rita Green, and Dorothy Amo. John Bergman as editor-in-chief of the “Authen- tic”, with Maryalice Conley and Dorothy Amo as his assistants, did an excellent job of making the publi- cation a success. Our senior play, “Sally Lou,” was another event which added laurels to our list of achievements. A splendid cast, with the help of a good coach, gave an excellent performance. The class banquet was held at Andover Country Club. The toastmaster was Leslie French. The MacDonald Medals, the last and highest hon- ors to be received by any in our class, were awarded to Maryalice Conley and John Bergman. This finished the final lap of our voyage. We have passed through the many storms successfully and have triumphantly anchored in port. Now that we have the honors due those who have come safely to port, we shall be ready to find new seas to chart and shall make histories of our own. Dorothy Amo. CLASS PROPHECY My dear friends and fellow students, I stand be- fore you tonight in the capacity of Prophet of the Class of 1935. As you all know, the purpose of the prophecy is to foretell in as humorous and entertain- ing a manner as possible the activities of the va- rious members of the senior student body in the dis- tant future. Thus, confronted by this intricate problem, I was forced, after hours of pondering and concentration, to dire extremes to obtain my in- formation. Failing to do this with my own facul- ties, I determined to consult a higher power than I. So it was that I left the prognostication in the hands of an able advisor, the mysterious “Shadow” of the future, “Mr. X”. These are the startling revelations
