26 THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, and Friends: It is indeed a great pleasure for me to welcome you in behalf of the Class of 1936 to our graduation exercises. Your presence here adds to the signifi- cance of the occasion. From year to year you have watched and helped us develop. We hope that you saw in us a growth of our faculties that will enable us to be of service to mankind. We realize that a few words can in no way describe the gratitude we feel for you, our friends. To our faculty, we can only say that we hope our lives from now on will serve as proof of the char- acter and manliness taught us by you. Your com- bined efforts and patience will aid us in becoming better men and women. To our parents whose sacrifice and ambitions have been great but unseen by others, no words or thoughts can equal them. Through our deeds alone may the day come when we shall repay in part that which you have given us in full. The years of our student days in Stoneham High School will always be those of joyous remembrances and happy friendships. As we go out into the world it is with cheerful courage that we greet the unseen. Courage is the important thing. All goes if courage goes. Johnson says, Unless a man has that virtue lie has no security for preserving any other.” There will be many times in our lives when cour- age only will enable us to overcome the obstacles that confront us. Much easier would it be to follow the exploits of the people than blaze a new trail to a higher stan- dard. Our elders gave us the post war problems, unemployment, social unrest, economic depression and political disorder, as an inheritance. Great courage will be necessary to free this country from such evils. There are teeming years lying ahead of this graduating class if we but help to fill them with glorious deeds. The sternest crisis always brings forth the great- est courage. To us, classmates, is hurled the chal- lenge of making America a better place in which to live. We shall not fail that challenge. With these incompetent but sincere words of ap- preciation and hope, we welcome you to our gradua- tion exercises. Samuel Smith. CLASS HISTORY Wings! Who has not desired them? Who has not dreamed of this eventful day when we would receive our insignia and realize our soaring ambi- tions? We are now licensed pilots ready for our first solo flights. Using our training ship, the Spirit of 1936,” as a model, we have spent four years in study and practical experience preparing for our journey upward. Now with our newly acquired wings we are ready to take off, but first let us try to review some of those happy hours that we have spent in our beloved plane. With pilot, John Diamond; co-pilot, Anne Corco- ran; stewardess, Dorothy May; and chief mechanic, George Downes, as a crew, we took off for our first short flight. Mrs. Barnes, Miss Collins, Miss Fitz- gerald, and Mr. Miller were the watchful instructors who showed us the mechanism of the “Spirit of 1936”. Anna Murray took us on our first practice flight in our social career. After a two months’ rest the “Spirit of 1936” started once more, in September 1933, for another trial flight. Pilot John Diamond was again at the controls assisted by co-pilot, John O’Neil; steward, William Burns; and chief mechanic, George Downes. For this trip, Miss Garland, Miss Smith, Miss Wright, and Mrs. Milton were our ever watchful guides. This was a banner year for us, for now we were allowed to participate in varsity sports. We were represented on every athletic squad. Florence Or- sillo brought home the honors for field hockey, while Ronald McKinnon was our outstanding repre- sentative on the varsity football team. Our social life during this flight covered a great circle of events. First, with Anne Corcoran at the controls, we held our second successful social. We equaled the record of our lofty upper-classmen when our talented classmates helped present the never-to- be-forgotten Mock Trial” and the first annual Ath- letic Association Circus. These were new ventures for us, but we came through with flying colors, thus earning our promotion as Juniors for the coming year. After a summer of much needed rest, the sturdy “Spirit of 1936” took off once more for an uncharted flight over the hills and valleys of the Junior year. Pilot John Diamond still kept the controls in hand with co-pilot, Albert Pigon; stewardess, Rose Madi- son; chief mechanic, George Downes; and chairman of the Social Committee, Frank Geremonte. Our ship was steadied this year by Miss Spinney, Miss Johnson, Miss Eastman, and Mr. Reed. Once again the “Spirit of 1936” sent many out- standing representatives to the athletic teams. Our real social debut was made when, with John O’Neil at the controls, we presented our first formal dance — the Junior Prom. This was both a social
