However, since our faculty advisers dceni it best to do this, and since convention demands it, we present the following brief summary of the transcendent and impressive achievements of Class 1. In the first place, when we entered in 1925, we were strengthened by almost the cntire graduating class of Thayerlands. This meant simply a. transference of ability from the records of Thaycrlands to those of the Academy. Then, too, added to our numbers, was the ci'eain of the various schools in surrounding towns. Small wonder, therefore, should there be at the accomplishments of the class. As in the case of our predecessors, we started to be outwardly active in Class IH. Before this, we had simply amused ourselves, but in Class IH, realiz- ing that there was a, growing demand for talent, we offered ourselves for service. During this year the fellows indulged in football and basketball, while the girls busied themselves with hockey. This was a most successful year, and our athletic achievements have continued to be outstanding during our years at Thayer. The dramatic career of the class was launched in 1928 when we had a representative in the Senior Middle Dramatics. Our own Senior Middle Play was one of thc most successful plays ever produced in the Academy. The un- tiring effort and time spent' by Miss Gcniniel, and by the faculty and student committees, resulted in an absolutely satisfactory production of 'fPomander Walkft This play called for so large a cast that we were able to give very charitably a fcw members of the other classes chances to develop their talents. Our social activities have been of the highest. quality. Ati our Senior Middle Reception the hall was literally packed. This year, aided by a few lower class- nien, a committee of seniors managed the Football Dance and the Senior Recep- tion which were both well attended. lYere they successful? Just ask anyone who was present. lVe have produced Lincoln essays, short stories, essays on General Thayer, chemistry essays, and now with Seniors Day and Commencement exercises, to say nothing of College Boards approaching, we expect to be quite busy for the rest of the year. So we have lived our years at Thayer and now that the time has come when we must Ngo in the innumerable caravan, which moves to that mysterious realm, where each shall taken his place in the awe inspiring halls of college, we go with inany fond memories of five marvelous years spent under the guidance of our headmaster and faculty, and with a heritage which we shall always cherish. lllilliain Storrs. 14 .af-an-4 k . 4 5 3. gina M V-'fu .q,4.s,- - 2, 1.4. - 1 f N,.f.5j.'...,..' it J...

Although we have not seen as much of each other in the classroom this year as in previous years, because of the great variety of programs and the many different subjects offered us, yet we remain as one group struggling toward our year as seniors. The social activities of our classes have increased and so have our responsi- bilities. This year found us in charge of the Annual Senior Middle Reception which was held at the Neighborhood Club with Jerry Aldrichls Orc-liestra. The dance was a, great suecess. lVe had hardly recovered from the excitement of this when Mid-Years appeared on the horizon in great black letters. These were only just over and out of sight when the Senior Middle Play was before us with its mixture of pleasure and hard work. We presented HCaptain Applejackv, a delightful play with plenty of fun and hair raising situations. lVe are still living in a piratical atmosphere as a result of the famous Second Act. In sports We have been most' active. The boys have made the varsity foot- ball team and the girls were scheduled to play the championship hockey game with the Seniors but the game was postponed on account of early snows. lYith the year nearly passed, we are beginning to think more seriously of eollege board examinations and college itself as our stay at Thayer grows shorter and the once-distant future approaches reality.

'l he huilclinv' was so larffe in coin mrison XV1tll the sinall hoinehke Thaver- U C ' ., lands sc-hool. The desks were huge. Hut we soon found several reasons for the size of the slesks. Our first task was to heeenie aeclainted with the other elassrs. We soon inzule friends with the senior girls, for they gave us a Halloween party. We gradually learned the names of the others and followed the fine examples they set for us. The next year we attacked Freneh. It wasn't so hard as we thought it would be but we beeanie very niueh confused, at first, when our teachers eonnneneed speaking to us in French. This year we feel quite grown up as the Third Classl Proudly we point to the Lineoln essays of Virginia Crisp and Fred Kiinball, Soon we shall be wear- ing our class pins and rings, thus entering the ranks of upper elassnien. We hope that in the years to eonie we shall follow the high ideals Thayer Academy stands for and carry thern on with us to the different Colleges we may choose.

The pitching staff consisted of three former letter nien: Haniiltoin, Erwin, and Miller. The team was strong behind the bat with Ewart, a proinising youngster, and Blake- nian, a new ecnner who proved te be the leading batter on the team. In the 44 f.-, 4-.--.-4 -1 -f..v..'.1 .4---.. , s ir-1----'. h ..-..-1-a-'.',. u.g- ,YA .. A. .,4-H'-q.n:3g,., -. ,4'x A . .,... .ve 'W 'U iz' f 1.3. 'HL 5 ef A NJN ' infield, Captain Lewis and McCormack, two lettermen, were ably supported by Captain-elect A. Smart, Bennett, and Taliaferro. In the outfield, the hard-hitting trio of Captain-elect Aherne, C. Smart, and Harry Sprague, often supplemented by a spare member of the pitching staff or by Nelson, Holt, or McCarthy, proved a bulwark of strength on many trying occasions. As expected, the team started off Non stride , and behind the masterful pitching of Hamilton and Erwin shut out Country Day School at Newton to the tune of 12-0. Only on two occasions, one, a walk, a second, at bad throw, were Country Day men able to reach first base, Erwin tossing 'thitless b-all'l for the first- five innings while Ham finished up the game with the same Uperfect brandn. The second game proved much tougher, with Thayer coming from behind in the Sth with a much needed five runs to finally Hput it on iced. Both Hamilton and Erwin were hit hard at times, but tightened up enough in the pinches to hold Huntington in check, so that Thayer finally emerged the victor by the score of 12-10. The next game, played with the very strong Lawrence Academy team, proved an insurmountable obstacle. Their pitcher practically 'tstood our team on its head with a dizzy record of eighteen strike outs. Nevertheless, if it hadnyt been for some spotty base running on the part of Thayer, the final verdict of 3-2 might have been reversed, for our pitchers werent going too badly. Our next opponent, Noble and Creenough, encountered on our home grounds, proved to be 'tcasy pickingsn. The score of 12'-2 made the game rather drab as a whole, but the big feature of the game proved to be a tremendous home run into the tennis court-the first in Thayer's history-by C. Smart, after his brother had doubled in his first appearance in a Thayer uniform. A rather interesting game was played with the Roxbury Latin School at lYest Roxbury, in which Miller made his first appearance on the mound for Thayer. The final score of 5-0 in our favor hardly shows how tightly fought the game really was. The next day, Moses Brown of Providence was engaged in a rather ragged contest, ending in an 8-6 victory for Thayer. The hitting power of the team showed to its best advantage of the season with Blakeman and Aherne leading the attack. The real objective game of the season proved disastrous for the team, since Milton Academy took us into camp to the tune of 2-0, although we outhit them. Breaks and Ulost opportunitiesll were the whole story of our defeat, and al- though Thayer was cver threatening, it never was able to get results. Back into form against Tabor Academy, playing the first game that had been played on their Unew diamond , the team clubb-cd its way to a 8-2 victory. The features of the game were a. triple play in the first inning with the bases clogged, and an herculean home run to deep center by Captain Lewis. The following lVednesday, in a tight pitching battle between Hamilton and Cordon of Boston Latin in a game played at home, the team came through to a glorious -1-3 victory. After a rather wild start, the score for five innings was deadlocked at 3-3, until, in the fifth, the final run of the game was driven in by a single from the bat of the cleanup man, McCormack. The outstanding feature of the game was the consistently masterful pitching of Hamilton. 45 -An , H- . . --- -'4L'v1r- I , A,-.dv ,EVA Ah,..t,,,1.': CQ, 5-......,, , 5 ,Yury If 9,4 fy . wx., L P-ifffi, A 4 -we-sf J ' N . , it ' I -9 . , --- if -nfs., . .'.'.'v .7f 'J ' A' i F' up A :ii Q?-,in-'..1.r ' y 53' N' . : W ,sf-arf-, 3255 mg 1, www-qw, This success was continued in the next game with Quincy High, by means of a great uphill fight, culminated by a final two-run rally in the 9th, The final score of 5-4 tells the story of the game. In the ninth, following a. smashing home run by Al Smart to tie the score, the winning run was manufactured from av pass to Aherne, Lewis, third double of the day, and a long single by Miller. The next game, a quite natural let-down against the Wellesley High School, very nearly proved disastrousg for, only by a miraculous five-run rally in the last half o-f the ninth was Thayer able to catch up to the early lead established by the High School by means of some perfect execution of the squeeze playn. The final score of this hectic battle was 10-9. A very disappointing defeat was encountered the following Saturday at the hands of St. Mark's at Southboro. An early lead of two runs, established by our team in the very first inning, was overcome by St. Marlis by timely hitting. Despite every attempt to catch them, and although the bases were filled with rcpbody out in the ninth, the team simply was unable to score again and was forced to take it on the chinu by a 3-2 co-unt although the hitting was strongly in our favor, 8-2, including a. long triple by Aherne. Following this defeat, the team played a game which was not scheduled but which proved quite the Hhighlightl' of a most interesting season. Through the arrangements of Mr. Booth, the team engaged in a very close game with the Norfolk County Prison team at Dedham. Hamilton held the edge in a tight pitching duel, the score finally being 4-2 in our favor. During the game the prison orchestra played, and, after the 'tcessation of hostilitiesll the two teams enjoyed a tasty lunch together. In our first extra. inning game of the season, Braintree High was defeated in a high scoring spree by a 10-9 count. Thayer scored in every inning except the first and ninth, while Braintree was enabled to 'fstay in therell by several rallies netting in each case a brace of runs. The great features of the game were the marvelous shoestring catch by Captain Sword of Braintree in short center with three men on base in the second and the long smash by Charlie Smart into deep left center, turned into a home run by the ba,ll's opportunely reposing be- neath an automobile. ln the final game of t-he season, the team shut out a strong Alumni aggrega- tion by a decisive 6-0 score. Held scoreless for the first two innings, the team got going in the third, and the game was broken up by Blakeman's. sizzling drive into the tennis court with three men on base. 46 l1FllllEIl Mllllllllt ' Dov The 19211 Fuotlmll tQ:1n1 was l1ZUlCllf'tlD15Cfl by weight :mtl 1111-xpu1'iQ11c'0.

NYe showed real power only ati tinies, and because our power canie late in the last quarter When the team made a, steady inarch by line. plunges down the field, we had no time to put it over. The ganie ended with the score 13-0 against us. Perhaps the best example of Thayer's playing the ganie in true forni was the eneounter with Moses Brown. Thayer scored in the second quarter by a series of spectacular reverses, executed by Ed Aldrich. This was Thayer's first score of the season, and incidentally against a teain hitherto unscored upon. The score was Moses Brown 32, Thayer 6. Thayer ended a disastrous season by winning the final game from Rivers School, with the long end of the score on Thayer's side 32-ti. The game was doubtful at first, when the Rivers School boys ran some wide end runs, but the team suddenly awoke and froni then on the graine was one-sided, Thayer clearly outplaying their opponents. Although Coach Harvey was disappointed as to the results of the scores, he feels that the team did accomplish niuch. The fellows kept. up throughout the season a dogged spirit to Win. TVC' aecredit this to Coach Harvcy's never failing encouragenient. NVe also feel that it was because the coach and the fellows knew nothing of each other and because Mr. Harvey had to work, for the inost- part, with a group of inexperienced nien, that the score sheets favored the opponents. However, we have great hopes for the nien of 1930's gridiron! .lexlon vARs1'TY ,-, -, V . f s Y My--ss.-,4-it-'.1.'-'Af.rv-2' Y 155.9 V. Ll, .jbf iv.,g,jL,:YxL, , 1 I- .,.

MacDona,ld. Their schedule included games with Milton High sec- onds, Roxbury Latin Junior varsity, Country Day Junior varsity, and Derby Academy. YVinning their first two games, the Jay Vee's struck a snag in the strong, undefeated Country Day Junior varsity and lost by a score of 14-0, Undaunted by this defeat, the Junior varsity triumphed over the Roxbury Latin Junior var- sity, and closed their season by Winning the 'tbig game from Derby Academy of Hingham, 7-0. FR PISHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD The Thayer Academy Freshman football team was unsuccessful in its at- tempt to Win any of the scheduled games, mainly on account of lack of practice because of an extremely small squad. In their opening game against the Milton Junior High School, the Black and Orange t'Frosh were defeated by a score of 25-6, The three remaining games against the Fessenden School and Plymouth High Fresh saw a. small but deter- mined team fighting until the last whistle only to be defeated by superior man power. Captain Spang lcd the Frosh in all games and his brilliant defensive play was the outstanding feature of the season. 49 ICE HOCKEY The Thayer Ice Hockey team had a fairly successful season this year, play- ing seven games out of which three were won, three lost, and one tied. As is the case with many schools, countless games l1ad to be called off on account of poor ice, and the majority of these were not made up. The team opened with IXIilton Academy and lost a spirited game 4-1. Tl1e Thayer sextet fought hard but lost to superior pass work and conditioning of the Miltonites. In a thrilling overtime battle, Thayer lost to Browne and Nichols 2-1. The game was crammed with action and Thayer was unlucky in losing after putting up a brilliant offensive which carried the action continually to the B. and N. goal. The first win of the season came when Thayer defeated Quincy 3-1 on our own rink. In this contest the sextet showed an improved passing game and won more handily than the score would seem to indicate. In a game which was packed with thrills but which held a disappoirlting ending because neither team won, the Thayer team played a scoreless tie with the Milton Rangers from Milton High. After a few days of poor ice the team played the Braintree Hockey Club on February first, at- the Thayer rink. This game was a tight affair with plenty of action, but our team finally emerged victorious by a score of 2-1. In another game which was packed with thrills but which again had a dis- appointing finish, this time because it contained a disputed goal, the Thayer sextet lo-st to Roxbury Latin 2-1. Our opponents scored the first goal in the game and Thayer evened it up in the third period. The deciding goal, according to the referee, went through the side of the net, but the goal umpire ruled that it had gone in correctly. In the final minutes of the period the Thayer boys were unable to tie it up, and eventually lost 2-1. In a rough exciting contest the Thayer sextet broke Norwood High's winning streak off straight by winning 1-0. This game was by far the best- the Thayer team played during the season.

The boys were handicapped by lack of coaches, but nevertheless displayed the true Thayer spirit in their defeats. The first' match was played with Moses Brown at home. lVe were defeated practically by one man-The Junior State Champion of Rhode Island. The second match was with the Huntington School at Huntington. An inter- esting feature of the game was the match of lYincr and a little Japanese student. Bobby lost after battling thrce hard sets. The team as a whole lost at the hands of the skillful Huntington players. The only victory for the Thayer squad was over the Rivers School, defeat- ing that team on their own courts. In the next, match, which was with the lYellesley High School, the team played against slow, consistent opponents. Although the match ended in a tie, our boys should have won. The game was played at- home. The boys journeyed with the Baseball team to Marion to play the Tabor Academy. Although the ball team was victorious, the tennis team suffered a defeat at the hands of the sailors. The Thayer Raclceteers lost again after making the trip to Concord to play the Middlesex Academy. At Milton our life long rivals defeated us nine to zero, playing five singles and four doubles. The boys started early, and played late, both teams were tired, when the game was called on account of weariness. The last game of the season was a very close match played ati St-. lWark's School in Southboro. The team lost! with the score three to two against them.

The 1929 golf team was probably the most successful in the annals of this sport at Thayer. The tcam went through a. rug'ged season of ten matches and met defeat only twice. Members of the team were Bunny Emerson, 'fBob Hopkins, Dial Braithwaite, HDickl' Ruggles, Dickl' lVoodsum, Murvyn Vye, Gordon Godfrey, and Fax Ogden. The team was very fortunate in having the privileges of the lllollaston and Stoney Brae Golf Clubs for the playing of its matches and also for extensive practice. Y 53 . .-H ., - . . r ..-v.

This match was played at Stoney Brac. For its second match, the team journeyed to the Winchester Country Club to play B. C. High School. This match was at colossal battle, which resulted in at tie 3V2 to 35. A return match was played with the same team to decide which team was the superior. However the match produced the same score and it was decided that we would have to wait until next season for our revenge. In a match at the XVollaston Golf Club, the Thayer boys triumphed over Brockton High 5-2. In an exciting match at the Commonwealth C. C. wc met our first defeat from Newton High 4M-QE. The next day the team made the long trek to Exeter Academy, only to lose every point in a disappointing engagement. However these two defeats did not spoil the morale of the team, and it made a startling comeback in trimming Dummer 615-W, and then beating its old rival Newton to the tune of 5-1. This latter match was played at the lYollaston Golf Club. The team then concluded its season by defeating Brockton High in a. return match to the tune of GMZ-15 and Quincy High in a one-sided affair at Stoney Brac. The score of the Quincy match was 6-1. BASKETBALL After an absence of varsity competition, the Thayer basketball team repre- sented the school in two closely contested games. The Thayer team lost to Bridgewater Normal, 50-32, after a very hard contest. The game was well played with 'tBob MacGregor leading the Thayer attack with thirteen points. The second game was a very closely fought one with Abington High School at Abington. Thayer dropped a close decision by the score of 39-36. Captain Holt and Ackcrmann led the Thayer attack scoring twenty-six points among them. The boys who were in the Varsity Squad were Captain Perry Holt, Bob MacGregor, Carl Ackermann, Joe Bruce, Charles Ahernc, Paul McCombs, Bob Harcourt, Lazarus Phillips, John Ippolito, Paul Winch, and Clifford Shea. Mr. Johnson was the Coach and helped the program of the team a great deal. In another year Thayer should have a team that will rank with the best, having veterans like Bob Harcourt, Paul McCombs, Ippolito, and 'tCruml' Crofts. 54 ..,,,., .,..,., ., , ...-.... r Q ff...---. ..,.x,---u-'.1f.'.'fu-Q1 -I, P, ,Ex .. .s.,4.s,' - 1.

THE HGYMI' EXHIBITION On Thursday evening, April 25th, the annual 'tgym demonstration was held in the Braintree Town Hall. The exhibition combined the yearts work of the girls of Thayer and Thayerlands in both gymnastics and dancing. There were fundamental gymnastics, all sorts. of games, Danish folk-dancing, a sailors' hornpipe, and Danish exercises all performed with unusual skill. The dancing which was beautiful consisted of elementary studies, and rhythms followed by some delightful group dances. The girls under the excellent leadership of Miss Adele Loysen, Miss Natalie Sullivan, and Miss Chellis made a splendid showing. DANCING Dancing started out very promisingly in the fall, It was a new type of dancing in which Miss Chellis was very much interested and which she believed would benefit the girls. She introduced it at Thayer, the first preparatory school to have adopted it, although it has become an essential part of the present activity of outstanding schools devoted to gym work. It became popular at Thayer, and Miss Chellis prepared afternoon exhibi- tions of each class for mothers in order that they might appreciate the exercises and their benefits. Miss Chellis had excellent plans for the year, but because of illness, she was forced to give up her classes temporarily. However, the new dancing seems destined to become even more popular next year, and Thayer is fortunate to have in Miss Chellis such at capable teacher of the new art.

As was to be expected, it was at social success. The hall was attractively decorated, the music was appropriately syncopated, and the 'tThayer Spiritl' prevailed. t'DORM PARTY Something new at Thayer!-namely, a 'tDorm Party. Yes, it- was at the Kells House, where the two large living rooms were given over to dancing. Miss Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, Mr. Fogg, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Long were guests of the 'tDorm'l boys, as were many others of the school family. THE FOOTBALL DANCE The Football Dance, staged at the Braintree Town Hall on January 31, went off with a bang. The school body was exceptionally well represented, while t'Jerry Aldrich's orchestra, served nobly. In the receiving line were Miss Allen, Miss Gemmel, Miss Sleeper, Mr. Southworth, Mr. Hilton, Mr. Harvey, hir. Johnson, Mr. Long and Mr. Nelson Jones, alumnus of l24. As the evening progressed, we were surprised to have our good friend, Mr. Jones, present hand- some sweaters to the deserving members of the team, as well as announce the captain for next year-t'Ed Aldrich. Coach Harvey was also surprised to receive a, desk set from his deeply appreciative team. IVe hope that this may become an annual affair which may always. be as successful as the first. THETA ALPHA--HI-Y SOCIAL This year's 'tget-together of the Theta Alpha and the Hi-Y was very jolly. The banquet put us at ease and in good humor. The faculty's one-minute speeches were certainly a propos of the occasion, as was that of the main speaker. Mr. Carter, who gave us a most delightful, informal talk on t'International Relations. Dancing was in order in the girls' gym after dinner, until someone cruelly UD noticed the hour when--Yes, we adjourned, pronouncing ai very happy Good-night, All. THE DORM DANCE On Friday, the twenty-third of March, the Dormitory Boys gave in the girls' gymnasium a Poverty party. A round-about-route in total darkness broken only by ghosts looming out of the shadows, brought the guests to the ballroom. This was tastefully decorated with old tires and tattered clothes. In spite of the extreme poverty of the guests, a real orchestra was employed. But their impoverished state was verified by favors of carrot-tops and old artificial flowers. IYithout the welcome aid of John D. Rockefeller with two gallons of chocolate ice-cream, spaghetti would have been the only refreshment! A few members of the faculty took an active interest in the affair, and this helped to make it the success it proved to be. 63 -f' -- wb. 4, 13. , - -,,y,.-.- gh --s . ,,..,.-- -. ,.., ....- ....-..-..- t. .3 ..

I say 'foldll - since it Was because the house was so old and respectable that Ambrose Applejohn was moved to put his place up for sale, thereby upset- ting the complacency of his Aunt Agatha and his ward Poppy, as well as arous- ing consternation on the part of the very competent Lush. Johnny Jason, the friend who promised to dispose of the house, used intensive methods that com- plicated the plot. This move was to enable our rebelling' young Ambrose to seek adventure and romance in more appropriate surroundings. But, apparently, Fate refused to comply with his desires, for immediately things began to happenn at the manor house. A Russian dancer, who was trying to escape from a Russian spy with priceless jewels in her possession, really started the hall rolling by appear- ing almost at midnight to seek shelter with the Applejohns, arousing varied emotions in Poppy, Ambrose, and Palmer, the maid. With the appearance of Ivan Borolsky. the spy. and from the curious actions of Anna. Yaleska, the dancer, and the newly-arrivcd spy, when Ambrose left the room, we gathered that in the manor house was a hidden treasure. The play went on, with much flashing of guns and very shocking language at times, back to the- day of pirates and buried treasure. Un board a pirate ship, we saw a person very much resembling Mr. Ambrose Applejohn holding sway, while the crew was led by a villainous pirate, Ivan Borolsky the second. Our hero, coming back from the land of dreams and pirates, had acquired, very mysteriously, a new spirit of dominance and arrogance which he used to great advantage in warding off the 'tPengards who in turn were opposed by the spy and the dancer, with their accomplice Dennet, all of whom we found to be desperate treasure-seekers. When the curtains closed, after our hero had saved the day by finding the treasure, and had assured everyone that he would be t'respecta.ble'l henceforth, as well as by having acquired a. fiancee, the audience, who declared this to be the best play yet produced by the competent Thayer dramatists, was loathe to depart. 64 Y I l If H 4f2.14 .l s-X XF:-,SD n-: P 5ic'x-.- mrs... t .'.-.-r-.xtvd 1 5' -,,, AX 'I'-Y-.I-'K 1 iv . --'- s ri -1 .

However, as time passed, everyone with any musi- cal talent brought his instrument to the band rehearsals which were held each Monday and Wednesday. Under the leadership of Mr. Murdock a large band has been organized, with every instrument from a flute to a sousaphone. The band has played several times before the school and has gained recognition as a permanent part of the school curriculum. The band also played on February 9 at the First Congregational Church of Dorchester.

Every Monday morning, under the direction of Mrs. Kc-lls, the Glee Club met in the Assembly Hall for its rellcarsals. Although the Glec Club had made only two appearances, one at the Christmas Exercises and the second on Lincoln's Day, they planned to sing a group of old English ballads between the acts of the Senior Middle Play to be presented March 14 and 15. This year, under Mrs. Kclls' direction, a quartet was formed whose members were Meredith Davis, Dorothy Tilden, Alfred Gnospelius and James Zerga. The quartet entertained thc school with Various selections at Christmas time. Later on, this group was enlarged, and a. triple quartet was formed. The added members were Katherine Schulze, Ellen Harrison, Pauline Davenport, Margaret Grimes, Richard Nelson, David Kelley, William Eddy and James Sumner. This group broadcast from Station WEET on Sunday afternoon, February 9. They also contributed selections at the Lincoln Exercises, and on February 17 they sang at a meeting of the D.A.R. of Quincy. 67 Mi 'Zf '?' 5 P XJ f-flih A I I lu... ,, , ,-.

This year as in fornier years, our student council has, with the cooperation of thc entire student, body, succeeded in czirrying out its plans very successfully. The Council connnenced its activities with u inccting on October 28, 1929. The following inenibers were elected :is officers: Charles Bennett, President, Arthur Baker, Vice-President, and Pauline Davenport, Secretary. During the meeting it was voted that both the Thayer Band and the Hi-Y lnwe ai. repre- sentative in the Council. Matters concerning the traffic regulations and eating in the inain building were also thoroughly discussed. Later in the year, various. other aids to school life were promoted by the Council, and suggestions concerning the regulation of the lunch period were made to Mr. Southworth. There has been very little need for supervision at Thayer by the Student Council, und we hope that it will continue to reinain inerely the advisory boztrd, compo-sed of students, of E1 self-governing school. 69 s ff- -T-Q---3 'ss -- -..... 1 5 I it I nf!

This year, the members have done many interesting things. First of all, the big sister idea was started. Every girl in tl1e Senior Class was given a member of the Freshman Class as her little sister, and in this way the girls of these two classes became- very Well acquainted. During the football season, the girls gave a luncheon to the squad after' the Moses Brown game and the Tabor game. The tables were attractively decorated with gay flags, and the lunchcons were greatly appreciated by be-th teams. Then, too, the incoming Fifth Class was tended an informal party, Miss Allen first giving us a talk on Loyalty. The members of the lower' class then did stunts as an initiation, the prize-Winners being Carolyn YWilliams and Pauline Cutter. Songs were sung, each member of Class Five then adjourning vvith her Senior adviser to the lunch room, where delicious refreshments were served. Later in the season Helen Cutler was the hostess at a delightful bridge, and Miss Allen and Miss Cemmel were hostesses at a very enjoyable party at Miss Allens. At this time a prize of a beautiful cat was won by Anne Ten Broeck for knowing the largest number of Hcatityl' words, while Pauline Davenport was the heroine in ai very hard guessing game. A very remarkable meeting was the one at, which Ruth-Alice Marston, Margaret! Crimes, and Mary Rogers told of their exper- iences in Europe in an intimate and interest-ing Way. To the girls: of the Senior Middle Class we formally will our Theta Alpha Club and hope that they will enjoy it as much as we have, F 1 ' -L ' ,mr ,WY , , - 41 ff +1-as - -A - - f pas g f: X p gtqyp g tj pi ag array' MQ , an 1 'f ff 2 ts-Vi 21 f f a i to NZ M : Q lip WW l it lf: , ssl: wir 3 ff Q7 curtail C3 t assays Q ff Qeff so t es -as The Hi-Y Club at Thayer has just completed two years of its existence, and we feel that it has not been without good results, Not only has it tended to seryc and strengthen the moral and scholastic standards of the Academy, but it has brought together the older and soine of the younger boys of the school into a closer and finer bondage of good fellowship. Late in June, 15929. just after Thayer had closed for the summer Vacation, a group of five boys took a trip to Blairstown, New Jersey, to attend a. conference of eastern prep schools, where, under the direction of the leading college pro- fessors of the East, racial, econoniic, industrial and world problerns were discussed with open minds. The fiye fortunate fellows who made the journey returned to their hornes feeling greatly enriched in intellectual knowledge. On February 28th several niembers of this year's club took advantage of the open conference held at Brown University. This was a week-end affair opened to High School and Prep School Hi-Y Clubs in order that they niight get a clear picture of American college life today. In concluding niay we take the opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to hir. Southworth, Mr. Fogg and .lim Hardy for their careful guardianship over the Thayer Hi-Y during this last school j'C2l1'. ggilllilllllllllg M April 24, 1929 A rather informal and high spirited meeting of the student body was con- ducted Wednesday morning in the Assembly Hall. Herbert Cleaves of the Senior Class was elected cheer-leader with Robert Winer of the Senior Middle Class as his assistant. After the group had been led in several cheers and songs by the newly elected leaders, Herbert Lewis, captain of baseball, spoke a few words concerning the game which was to be played with t-he Huntington School in the afternoon. The results of the election held by the Senior Middle Class for the manage- ment of the 1930 year book were announced. Arthur Baker was chosen manag- ing editor, and Pauline Davenport, literary editor. The program was brought to a conclusion by an interesting Cornet duet played by Jonathan French and Robert Dow, accompanied by Mrs. Kells at the piano. THE DEMONSTRATION On April twenty-fifth, a demonstration was given by the girls' department of Physical Education. There were posture drills, given by the Thayerlands School, followed by fundamental gymnastics, games, and folk dances, by the Thayer Classes. The Triple Posture Test was won by Harriet Saunders of Class V. Interpretative Dancing brought the exhibit-ion to a close. On Monday morning, May 6, 1929, the Hi-Y took charge of the chapel ser- vice in Mr. Southworth's absence. The exercises were led by Bill McCoombs, president of the Hi-Y. Bob Ewart gave a reading from Stevenson, Dave Thayer announced the coming track meet., and Gilbert White played several jazz selec- tions whieh were very enthusiastically received. GRADUATION, 1929 On Saturday afternoon, June 8, the graduating class, followed by the entire student body, marched from the school to the Town Hall, where the Commence- ment Exerciscs were held. After the invocation by the Reverend Fred Alban IVeil, the class sang 'tSalutation by Gains and a 'tFarewell Song written by John Gowan. Margaret Taylor was the accompanist, and Alan French and Robert Skaife played trumpet and saxophone obligatos. Charles Brandon Booth delivered the address of the afternoon, after which Phyllis Crooker rendered two soprano solos, Memories and By the Waters of Minnetonka. She was accompanied by Mae Lord, pianist, Charlotte Kimball, cellist, and Benjamin Rogers, violinist. Diplomas were presented by Everett Starr Litchfield of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Southworth then awarded the usual prizes and scholar- ships. The exercises were concluded by the class' singing 'tThe Thayer Reces- siona.l, accompanied by Gilbert White, composer, together with the Thayer orchestra. 72 Ps -F-4141 - .ax 14.1,-' -,ggggg -- 3. 1. .,.-' 5- ...qw gg. f '.'.

Thayer Academy opened with a chapel service at which many alumni were present. Mr. Everett S. Litchfield was the speaker of the day. We also had several of the trustees as guests. Phyllis Crooker of the class of '29 rendered a few selections. According to custom, the students left in classes to go to their assigned rooms. There were no regular recitation periods. Oct. 17, 1929. At chapel today, we enjoyed the visit of Mr. Foster who is a great worker in the Hi-Y organizations. His speech was very humorous, mingled with sound thinking which impressed us all. Mr. Foster showed us what a. great influence we have on all t-hose with whom we come in contact. 1Ye hope to hear Mr. Foster again. Oct. 18, 1929. The nomination for president of the student council was held in chapel. 1Ve also enjoyed the clever, extemporaneous speeches of the nominators, dwell- ing on the qualifications of the four nominees: Charles Bennett, Arthur Baker, Gordon Baird, and Alfred Gnospelius. A vote was taken in the home rooms, electing Charles Bennett as president of the Council. The other representatives on the Council were elected inthe classes and organizations as follows: Class. I Pauline Davenport, Boys' Athletic Association, and Arthur Baker Charles Ahernc Class H Virginia. Perry, Girls' Athletic Association, and Albert Smart Jeanne Morrison Class IH Elizabeth Massey Year Book Staff, Gordon Godfrey Class IV Paul McCombs Glee Club, Alfred Gnospelius Class V William Rice Band, Frederic Kimball Theta Alpha Club, Margaret Grimes Hi-Y, Carl Ackermann oct.. 21, 1929.

The other officers elected were as follows: Treasurer, Gordon Godfrey, Vice President, Pauline Davenport, and Student Council Representative, Alfred Gnospelius. Oct. 31, 1929. Today we enjoyed a most th1'illing talk given by Mr. Plummer who had obtained the moving pictures taken by Roald Amundsen on his wonderful trips to the North. 1Ve were greatly inspired by the account of the brave Norwegians. Nov. 7, 1929. Thayer Academy received the Hampton Quartet this morning with a sincere welcome. The quartet sang the beautiful spirituals for us with the same har- monious strains of music which we always enjoy. One of the numbers which the school liked very much was the famous .luba song in which the singers add action to their music. A young graduate of the Hampton School, C. Portfield Harris, gave a splendid speech, telling of his school experiences, and ending with an appreciation of what the school has done for him. - 73 fifcf-'ft' 35 L r ib sX 'gfS2-G 1 f 6- .

Today the school celebrated Armistice Day in the assembly hall with Mr. Leggett reading the Covernor's Proclamation. During an impressive minute at eleven o'clock we remained silent while Charles Bennett- read the names of those men of Thayer Academy who gave their lives in the World War, after this, taps was sounded. Lieutenant-Governor Youngman then gave us a very stirring ad- dress, the main theme of which was peace. It was at this meeting that the band made its first public appearance. That we were all pleased with it was shown by the hearty applause it received at the conclusion of each number. November 18, 1929. We welcomed back to Thayer today Nelson Jones, ai graduate of the Academy in the class of 1924, one of the 'tlron-Menl' of Brown University, and secretary of the Brown Union. His talk was on the value of our academic work as a foundation for advanced study in college. Nov. 21, 1929. In the midst of his busy political life, Congressman Richard B. Wigglesworth made his first visit to Thayer Academy. His talk was on the Peace Movement which is at present an international topic. He also related his experiences at Geneva, Berlin, and Paris, and told how the statesrnen of all the great nations are doing their utmost to further Universal Peace. Nov. 24, 1929. We celebrated the birthday of Thomas Edison by listening to a splendid, well written essay entitled 'tAn Appreciation of Thomas Edison, by Robert Rawson. It gave us an account of the long years Edison spent in experimenting before he became successful with the electric light. Dec. 6, 1929. During the lunch period, Class IV under the instruction of Mr. Fogg, pre- sented a puppet show of Shakespearels UJulius Caesar. Everyone enjoyed the clever performance of the miniature actors dressed in their colorful togas. In fact, the mighty Caesar's death was most tragically enacted. Dec. 11, 1929. Thayer Academy was honored with the presence of Benton MacKaye as its guest in chapel, today. Mr. Southworth's morning reading was taken from one of Mr. MacKaye's own essays. Cur guest then delivered a challenging address entitled 'tOff-Side. Dec. 18, 1929. A concert was given the last period today by our splendid band, led by its director, Mr. Murdock. After some well rendered selections, Mr. Murdock thanked the student body for its helpful cooperation. Then Mr. Southworth introduced Miss Maude Howes, musical instructor of the Quincy schools, who complimented the members of the band on their playing and suggested that they enter a contest at Waltham. In a very delightful way she brought- to our attention the fact that several of the band members were formerly of the Quincy High School. 74 w f'f f 35 ry if! 1 J . . .4 31443.

In speaking of this conference Mr. Urann commented on the great confidence which business men l1ave in each other. Following this, he gave an illustrated lecture on his cranberry industry on Cape Cod. Dec. 29, 1929. At the Christmas assembly today we were very much pleased to have Mr. Vaughan Dabney as our speaker. He brought a direct message, filling our hearts with the Christmas fervor and joy. The glee club sang carols accompanied by the orchestra. Our six trumpeters afterwards rendered several selections. It was one of the finest Christmas assemblies that Thayer has had. Jan. 6, 1930. lVe were all surprised and very much pleased to be greeted on our return from the Christmas holidays by a. stirring address given by Charles Brandon Booth. Mr. Booth had us all in gales of laughter most of the time and t-hus, by contrast, made the seriousness of his subject doubly impressive. He spoke of the lessons of life which we learn at school by our daily contacts with people and by our participation in athletics. Mr. Booth spoke of coming again and we all hope he does come many more t-imes. We could never tire of listening to him. Jan. 8, 1930. The literary club, composed of members of the Senior Class, was formed today. The object of this club is to gain widespread knowledge of literature by discussions. Each meeting will be led by a chairman. The first discussion was about a play entitled Knave of Hearts, beautifully illustrated by Maxfield Parrish. Jan. 22, 1930. Chapel was led this morning by the Hi-Y Association represented by David Thayer, Robert Winer, and Leon Emerson. David read an essay entitled, You are Important to Something, and also made an earnest appeal to the student body on the question of discontinuing eating in the main building. The students were then dismissed for recitation. Jan. 27, 1930. As is our custom, we today paid tribute to the memory of Anna Boynton Thompson, wl1o did so much for Thayerlands and Thayer Academy. Mr. Merton Emerson, a man who was fortunate in having Miss Thompson as his instructor when he attended this school, told us in a very interesting way of his contact with this sacrificing teacher. Mr. Southworth also added his appreciation. Feb. 4, 1930. The morning chapel was led by Mr. Leggett, in the absence of Mr. South- worth. He taught a very lnnnorous and clever lesson on the subject-, Implications of Relativity. He drew, on a blackboard, many artistic aids to comprehension, while drawing from his scientific vocabulary, a Wealth of lengthy words. The theme of his lesson proved to be 4'How old are you mentally? Feb. 6, 1930. The Theta Alpha -Girls' Club took charge of the chapel service, with Lena XYaldeckcr, the president, and Ruth-Alice Marston on the platform. The Presi- dent read as the morning selection a portion of Dr. Drury's essay on t'Friendship.'l 75 T5 .

After classes we gathered in the assembly hall to commemorate Lincoln's birthday. As Class HI was in charge of the exercises, the president, Robert Hopkins, presided. The governor's proclamation was read by Murvyn Vye after which the glee club entertained us. with appropriate songs. The two prize Lincoln essays were read by their authors, Virginia Crisp and Frederic Kimball. The exercises were effectively closed by selections played by our band. Feb. 26, 1930. The Rev. Leslie T. Pennington gave a talk to the senior English class-cs today on 'tThe Hardy Countryf' Rev. Pennington told, in a vivid way, of his trip to England, making the country where Hardy lived very realistic to his hearers. This lecture was much appreciated as the class has just Hnished study- ing Hardy's HReturn of the Nativef' hlarch 13, 1930. In chapel to-day we listened to Mr. Arthur Newell, professor at Roberts College, Constantinople. Mr. Newell brought a message that emphasises the importance of race friendships. He gave striking examples of international relationships when he told of his experiences on the education committee in the war camps. The speaker's sincere, keen manner of expression won him the hearts of all Thayer Academy students. March 20, 1930. lVe were entertained today by an instructive moving picture showing the intricacies of the Stock Market during a usual day with the rush and bustle of exchange. We were very grateful to Mr. Stuart for these pictures. March 24, 1930. Today we were pleased to welcome back for a visit Mr, Hincks, former assistant head master of Thayer and now headmaster of Kentls Hill School. Mr. Hincks was in very good humor and made his speech short but funny. Thayer regrets losing Mr. Hincks, but rejoices that Kent's Hill has such a splendid leader. March 28, 1930. Today we welcomed Mr. James Brown, lecturer and writer on economics and taxation, who gave us a very vivid and entertaining speech on the Tax- ation Problems of the United States. After he had finished, he was urged to give an account of his boyhood life in the 'tBackwoods of Canada.

Have you forgotten the many good times we had together in the old Hgymn? I haven't, and I often look at the pictures we took at our various exhibitions. I hope you are all as happy as you were back in those days. Aft-er leaving Thayer in 1923, I gave up teaching. I have a daughter Lois 3 who is three years old. She keeps me as busy as any of my classes at Thayer ever did. You who have families know what I mean. IVe have built our own little home in Weston. Ild be very glad to sec any of you. Do stop in any time and talk over old times. Sincerely yours, Bertha D. Colleary Dear Thayer friends: I was pleased to hear from Thayer Academy, even though the generation that is now at the helm is a long way from the boys and girls who guarded the destinies of Thayer in my day. I am in Newton High School doing much the sort of thing that I did at Thayer. The difference is that we have 2500 pupils here at Newton, while Thayer is about the size of our freshman class. All of our student act-ivities and student guidance function under a Department of Student Personnel, and I am trying to guide t-his department. It keeps me out of mischief. I often recall with a great deal of pleasure my days at Thayer and my happy association with my good friend Mr. Southworth and the members of the faculty. Some day I am coming up to see them all. In the meantime, good luck and best wishes to you all for a happy and prosperous year. Most sincerely yours, ' Cora E. Riley Department of Student Personnel Miss Sarah C. Porter, former teacher of English at Thayer, writes: It was a pleasure to hear from Thayer, and I wish I had an exciting tale to help fill the pages of f'The Black and Orange . I am afraid I have very little to say. I have been teaching English at Central High School in Springfield ever since I left Thayer, spending my weekends at my home, near Northampton. For recreation, I go on walks with the Appalachian Club fwhich has a recently organized Berkshire Chapterj, and fool around with music a little. Very best wishes for a good year and a good annual, Sarah C. Porter. Dr. Allen G. Brailey writes: I am very glad to have this opportunity to exchange a hail with Thayer Academy. Forbid that my name ever be dropped from the roster of alumni. I left Thayer in 1924 to enter Harvard Medical School, and there spent four weary but profitable years, receiving at last the coveted M.D. in 1928. Immediately after Commencement, I began an interneship on the East Medical Service of the Massachusetts General Hospital and received its diploma. on February first last. And now finally, I am practicing the art at 205 Beacon Street. I spent two delightful years teaching science but medicine promises an even happier future. 78 .,, .

Harris writes: My dear Thayer Academy Friends: The high school in Oak Park, Illinois, closed two weeks early at the end of my first year here Uune 19255. This was very fortunate for me, as it enabled me to get back to Thayer for commencement. The part of that commencement that I enjoyed most was the Thayerlands play. On this occasion the class that is a part of the present Thayer Academy senior class transformed the beautiful grounds of Thayerlands into a bit of fairyland. I shall never forget it. I am still in the Oak Park High School, and I am more glad each year that I came, but I have never lost my love for New England and the New England friends nor my interest in Thayer Academy, where I spent three very happy years. It is a gre-at pleasure, during my annual visit in the Southworth home, to meet those whom I once knew as fellow teachers or as students at Thayer and whom I still number among my very good friends. Most sincerely yours, Florence I. Harris. IVe hear the following from Miss Briscoe: ' This is my second year of teaching at Mary Institute. The subject is still history but my methods are very different. The work here is similar to Wthat at Thayer except that we are not so bound down to College Board Examinations especially in history, and consequently the subject can be made more experi- mental and more interesting. Last summer I took a most interesting trip through tl1e Northwest to the Pacific Coast and back to New England, a tort-al of 13000 miles. I am planning another jaunt for this coming summer possibly to the Southwest this time. My best wishes to you in your work this year. Sincerely yours, Mary L. Briscoe. From Mr. Edward W. Hincks, who left Thayer last year, we hear the following: I resigned from the faculty of Thayer Academy to take up the duties as headmaster of a fine old New England school, Kentfs Hill Seminary. The school is blessed by a fine hilltop location, a five hundred acre farm, dormitories afnd other varied equipment, the management of which falls to my lot. You can well imagine that I have not much time for personal pleasure. Sincerely yours, Edward W. Hincks. Other former members of the faculty are teaching in various parts of the United States.

A cold wind, driving a white blizzard before it, lashed the frozen beach and hurled mighty waves against the bulwark of the steep cliff. Rising, it swept over the crest of the cliff and then down ont-o the frozen, brown marshes. Above the raging waters on the one side and the broad expanse of low fenland on the other, a monastery stood, raising its massive towers into the black vault of the A steep, winding path led up from the marshes below to the great gate above, and up this a man and horse were wending their way, fighting for a foothold against the fury of the storm. Once they seemed to hesit-ate, as if the terrible onslaught of wind and snow would overpower them. The man lifted his head for a. moment, then quickly lowered it and struggled on again. Finally the gate was reached and again he hesitated, then stretched out his hand and pulled the great bell rope. A second later the chimes rang out loud and clear above the wild tumult of the storm, Slowly the door swung back and a stream of light shone fo-rth on the snow. For a moment the man seemed dazzled by the sudden warmth and the brilliancy of the light, then, surrendering his horse to one of the monks, he stepped within and stared about him. Before him was the great hall of the monastery with its lofty rafters supported by huge beams of unfinished wood. Before the immense fireplace sat the abbot, enthroned in a massive oaken chair, and grouped about him were his monks. The stranger looked around, and then strode directly into the light of the fire, causing the abbot to glance up quickly at- the rude interruption. The newcomer was dressed as a Saxon warrior with a long cloak drawn about him, and a great sword at his side. Yet his face was that of no warrior but of a frightened, unhappy boy. .eyes were wild and through them could be read the secrets of his tortured soul. For a moment he tried to be defiant, but the calm, questioning faces of the older men seemed to break down his last defense, and bursting into violent weeping, hc threw himself at the abbot's feet. Leaning forward in his great- chair, the abbot motioned him to rise and speak. For a moment the quiet was broken only by the boy's sobsg but then, raising his head, his words seemed to crowd forth in incoherent rushes. His fatherts death, a Danish raid upon the seaeoast, and the smoke rising from his burning home, were still vivid memories to him, The fair haired in- vaders galloping across the fields on great war ho-rses with their long, scarlet cloaks floating out behind them, and their great horned helmets, the Saxons fleeing before them, and the final bloody battle, in which he had fled a coward from the field, all mingled in his tale of horror as he lay there on the stone fioor of the great hall, surrounded by the kind faces of the older men. Finally gaining confidence, he begged that he might end his days there in the lonely monastery, far from the wild barbarism without its gates, and that he might remain within these quiet walls far from murder and pillage. The abbot listened knowingly, he, too, had known the same struggle, the desire to escape the brutal savagery of existence- for the quiet sanctity of a monastic life. He, too, had been a coward, a. disgrace to his clan. He raised the boy lovingly and welcomed him t-o their midst. Suddenly came a. loud clanging' of the monastery bell and hoarse shouts from without. A terrified monk rushed in shouting 'tThe Danes, the Danes. They are at the gatef' The monks sprang up, and the boy instinctively drew the sword at his side, but the abbot motioned him to return it- to its scabbard, 84 .. . . . . ...- .x....-f--., - Z s a ' N., rx 4 D 4-D 1.1 15-1 1 K. - t .1-1-,rgvtv IJ.

A gust of snow swept across the floor and the monks drew back to the wall in terror. Through the open doorway came the Danes with great battle axes lifted above their heads, swords drawn, and hoarse battle cries on their lips. For a moment their leader hesi- tated, then, crying out in the strange Danish tongue, he beckoned his men. Above the din of clashing swords and clattering shields, came the calm voice of the abbot soothing the terrified monks, who cowered against the wall. Before them he sank on his knees in prayer, and they joined with him, their voices gradually gathering strength until the monotonous chant of their prayers could be lieard even above the hoarse cries of the Danes. The boy leaned against the wall, his heart- too sick from horror even to pray. He heard the cries of the Danes as from a great distanceg he saw the glittering blade of a sword descending and heard ai slight moan following it. Une warrior, a, great creature with a long red beard, kicked the burning logs from the fire out onto the rushes carpeting the Hoor. Tiny flames licked at the abbot's great chair and thin spirals of smoke rose toward the lofty roof above. A sudden memory of those same flames licking at the rafters of his own home added to the horror of the eerie light. xxvltll a cry he started forward. A giant figuie seized him and held him in a. vice-like grasp. For a moment they struggled silentlyg then the smoke from the rapidly gaining fire blinded them as it blew in gusts across the hall. The Dane lifted his hand to his face and the boy tore himself awav and ran on. From somewhere came the sound of an axe, rendine' 'W and tearing, and a sweeping veil of flame rose before him. From a great dis- tance came a crash of splintering timber, followed by the hollow booming of rocks falling on the beach below. Vague voices were heard, a scream followed by an awful rattle, then for a brief moment a. silence full of horror. Through the haze of smoke two figures were seen struggling across the floor, one carrying a. heavy load, the other with a great axe raised above his head, the axe fell, there was a. little moan, and the other sank in a. huddled heap. The boy felt weak and sank back against the cold stones of the wall, only to feel the hot breath of the fire creeping closer and closer. The cries grew fainter, and the smoke seemed to choke him. There was only the roar of the flames left and the sound in the distance of a boat being pushed off from the shore. He stumbled forward only to feel a great and overpowering weariness. He sank down onto the floor and lay t-here letting the weary feeling entirely possess him.

Although the growth of this branch of government in the town of Braintree has been very slow, it differs very little from the history of the police in most New England towns. When Braintree was incorporated in 1640, the sole representative of f'Our Finest was one constable, elected yearly by the voters, assembled in regular town, meeting. The duties of this official were very similar to those of a con- stable of our time, namely, to serve warrants, to affix his name to certain legal documents, and to serve the voters notice of any town meeting or assembly. Thus, even at the time of incorporation, the germ of at police department existed. A second official, early appointed in the history of all town governments, of whom the town of Braintree has no counterpart in these times, but who may be considered to have been a. member o-f the Police Department , was the 'tpound-keeper . The first record of the position of 'tpound-keeper in Brain- tree canie in a report of the officers elected in a town meeting on March 4, 1695, but the existence of a 'fpoundil at that time shows that undoubtedly, even before then, there had been a 'fpound-keeper for a. number of years. The duties of the pound--keeper consisted of collecting all stray domestic animals that he found wandering about the town, and of locking them up in the pound, or, as it was officially called, the pen-fold. These pounds were located in various sections of the town, and the ques- tion concerning the building of new one is listed among the items to be consid- ered at a number of town meetings. For a number of years there wa.s one in each precinct, but the only one of these concerning which I have been able to secure any definite information was that located on the north side of West street, about 200 yards from VVasl1ington street on almost the exact spot where Ash street- now joins iYest street. This 'tpound , were nearly all the early ones, was constructed of common field stone. Built in the form of a square en- closure covering nearly 900 square feet, the walls were approxima.tely 10 feet high and two feet thick. Access was gained to it by means of a large wooden gate on the south side fronting on West street. In this Hpoundw, as in the other Hpoundsn, were placed all stray animals from the smallest to the largest, which the pound-keeper found and picked up. The salary of the Npound-keeper consisted entirely of the established fines which he collected from the owners of the animals that were put in the f'pound . Of course, in addition to these, all expenses incurred by him in keeping these animals, such as the cost of feed, were paid by the owner. For many years only these two officials were deemed necessary to keep order. A much more staid town in those early days of its history than in these wild and lawless days, the crime problem in f'Old Braintree was never at very serious one. However, the tramp was one of the few great problems of the New England town. Swarms of t-hem, traversing regular routes and making scheduled stops at various towns, were spread through this section of the country. For many years they were taken care of by a method that seems rather st-range to us. Upon application, even men capable of working, received a tieket'i from one of the select-men, entitling them to crackers and water and a night's lodging in the 'tlockup , first located in the old alms-house on Town street, moved later to the new 'tPoor Farnii' on Union street. Finally, when the ffNew Town hall was built after the fire destroyed the old one in 1910, the Hlockupw was moved there. 86 1'.Q,aff, 'L' 'CW X A V :f- f A.'.'n'2Q 51 A' f-. - .x . 1 XJ .

' se-as This custom of the tramp's application for a ticket for a night's abode -in the town 'flockupw earned for Soper House Lane, where the home of one of the selectmen was situated, the name of Tramp Alleyw. Nevertheless, this plan of issuing tickets to tramps was continued until nearly 1900 when, instead of the quite cheerful prospect of a single night in the town f'lockup , the tramp, if discovered, was sent- to spend a few months at hard labor in the Bridgewater Rcformatory. However, during these years, this class never became so dangerous that any special protection was deemed necessary in addition to the town militia, which was much more active during those times than it is at present. In addition, the high ideals of American liberty, inherited for the most part from the English, seemed to discourage the growth of any branch of government such as the Police department, as something unfavorable to democracy. Nevertheless, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the number of constables was increased, one at a time, as the population slowly grew, approaching the five thousand mark, and, in 1860, there were six constables, but still no real, organized police department. It was not until thirty more years had elapsed, in 1883, that the first police- men were put on duty by a vote of the town. Aroused by the lawless spirit shown by people gathering around the squares, the voters, for the first time, felt the need of police officials. However, this attempt, which placed three men on night duty, one for each precinct, was given up as a failure after a trial of one year. There was another lapse of years, until, on December 3, 1893, owing to a number of breaks into stores around the squares, culminating by a. bold hold-up in East Braintree, three men again were placed on night duty, one for each precinct as before. Although these men had no uniforms, and were furnished only with a badge and a, 'fbilly by the town, they, from the first, were eHicient. On duty from seven in the evening until three in the morning, with the selectmen supervising their work, they accomplished a great deal in suppressing the in- creased rowdyism around the squares and put an end to the breaking in of stores. Not until as late as 1910, however, was the 'fPolice Department really organized and a chief appointed. In this year, Amos Loring, named chief, together with three regular policemen, comprised the first Braintree Police department-. As the need o-f more men made itself felt, through the tremendous increases in population in the few succeeding years, the department has doubled and trebled its numbers as well as its efficiency, until, at this time, there are nine men, a sergeant, and a chief, all uniformed and well-equipped. That this is only the beginning of a police force is clearly shown by the fact that at this very last town meeting, four new policemen have been voted to be added to the force. Thus, one of the very important branches for the safe-guarding of our rights and our most treasured possessions has grown from a department of one const-able to the largest and one of the most important in the town.

Growing from boy to man, he knew the loneliness of a. clean wildernessfwhere he met a silence that helped him grow, and meet the terrible loneliness of those years in the White House. On the morning of February 12th, the year 1809, Nancy Hanks Lincoln weilcomed to the world a. new child, a boy. The dwelling was a lowly cabling Mot-her Earth provided the carpet, and sunshine poured in through the one small window. The door swung on crude leather hinges. Out-side the wind howled around the small stick clay chimney and whistled in through the cracks of the logs. Tom Lincoln, the father of the new-born boy, walked five miles to the home of friends to te-ll them the news. Dennis Hanks, the small boy living there, immediately ran to the Lincoln cabin. Afterwards, having held the baby unt-il it started to cry, he handed the bundle to Betsy Sparrow, saying, f'Aunt, take him! He'll never come to much. So came the birth of Abraham Lincoln, that 12th day of February the year 1809 - on a bed of corn husks and bearskins, with the prophecy of a small laughing child that he would never come to much. Abe, as soon he was big eno-ugh, was the chore boy of Knob Creek. He hoed the garden until his hands, stinging with blisters, could stand no more. He carried water, filled the wood-box, and cleaned ashes from the fire-place. Abe and his sister, Sarah, helped their mother pick pails of currants and blue- berries to spread in the sun for drying, and to putt away for winter eating. In the summer Abe helped his father with seed corn, beans, onions, and potatoes. He ducked out of the way of the heels of at big horse that his father kept and paid taxes on. In the fall of 1816, Abe watched his father cut' down t-rees, cut out logs, and fasten those logs together into a fiat boat on Knob Creek, for the Lincoln family was going to move. The family waited while Tom went down the creek, but he soon returned saying the flat boat, had sunk. The Lincolns had fifty miles to go to their new f'Indianny home. They loaded their belongings on two horses, Nancy Hanks and Sarah on one horse, Abe and Tom on the other. As they journeyed deeper into the wilderness lit-tile Abels eyes get bigger a.t the sight of miles and miles of beeches, oaks, elms, hard and soft- maples. lYild animals ran to and fro. The nights were always calm and peaceful, a cheery fire always burning around their camp. In this manner they ati last, reached their destination, then the whole family helped build the new home, a crude cabin, wit-h only three sides, the open side facing south. The sides and roof were covered with poles, branches, brush, dried grass, and mud. At t-he- open side at fire was always kept burning. The Lincoln family lived here a year, a year of hardships, of hunger, and of cold. The coldness became more intense as the snows and storms of winter came to their little three-sided home. At last Tom finished the new 'fliincoln Cabinv. Here on this little Indiana farm the Lincolns lived happily for a. year. But sad times were in store. Nancy Hanks fell ill with a disease known as milk sickn, caused by cows eating poison- ous herbs. As she knew she was dying, Nancy called her children to her, putting her hand on Abe's head, she told him to grow up and be good to his sister and 88 1. r S ., 5 1 qs ' -is .. - x ,f 5, . .,, , gr, ...,..- ..,.. f ..- -I-as ,, '.1.-- .U-A ff..-eff: 'f x15-rafdfyfgx A E.

So' the mother, Nancy Hanks, died, thirty-six years old, a pioneer sacri- fice with mernorres of monotonous, hardworking days behind her. Not long after Nancyfs death, Torn went to a small nearby town where the widow Sarah Bush Johnston lived. Going to her, he said, I have no wife, and you have no husband. I come a pu1'pose to nrarry youff A few days following this as Abe and Sarah were playing together, they were surprised to see four horses and a carriage draw up to the door. To their amazement they saw their father and a woman in it. Next came a wagon loaded with mattresses, tables, chairs, and household goods. t'Here's your new rnanrrny,'f Tom told Abe. Abe liked tl1e looks of his new mother. She l1ad a kindl ' face with brifht . . . 3 frrendl ' e 'es. Her steady yorce and steady ways set many a. food exam rle 1' 1 ' M V ' ' tc or rrrn. All during these years, Abe was handling an axe nearly all the time. The palms of hrs hands became as tough as leather. He split nrt-wood, burlt prg pens, cut logs, and cleared places rn the forest. Thus he became tough, hard. and Wiry. Some said he was as strong as three men. But he was nrore than a1 tough, rawboned boy. He could tell his body to do a most .rnpossrble things, and the body obeyed. He walked thirty-four miles one day to please himself and to hear a lawyer speak. It was Nancy Hanks who told Abe to wash his face and hands extra cleanff a few days a year, and as she combed his hair and kissed him, she told him to go to school and learn all he could. So Abe would set out on hrs mne- mile walk. The school house was built of logs, with a. dirt floor, no window, and only one door. The children learned their lessons by repeating them aloud. The children learned to spell and crplrer. They learned such sentences as 'fls she to go in? t'She can spin flax. But after all, Abe owed what little formal education he got to his step- mother. His father thought to larn readrn, wrrtin, and cipherinf' was a waste of time. But Sarah Bush Lincoln came between the bo and his father and na y ra rer way. 11 ll 1 C1 1 f Lincolnfs steady, determined training of himself made strong impressions on his friends. Many proplresred, f'He will make l11s mark. 'He will be a great man by and by. Nevertheless, young Abe's desire to learn and know, caused hrm to be thought peculiarsome by those who knew hrm. He would sit up until past midnight, reading. XVhen plowing he would stick a book between the handles. He told Dennis Hanks, 'tThe things I want to knew are in books. Abe often said that his best friend was a man that would lend him a book he had not read. He was not satisfied with school, l1e Wanted more. He had read through an old arithmetic, ffPrlgri1n's Progress , Robinson Crusoew, t'Aesop's Fables , and TVeernsls f'Lrfe of XVashrngton . Abe nrade his ewn ink from a brier root, and hrs own pen was a. turkey- quill, for he often copied whole passages from books. One day when he was cutting up drdoes at the Crawford farmhouse, Mrs. Crawford asked, 'tWhat's going to become of you, Abeiw and with mockery of swagger he replied, fthle? l'm going to be president of the llnited States' At the age of twenty, Lincoln, although he had never been in school mort than a year. had more than a unrversrty could teach hrm. 89 ' f--. ,A..,. , ,.,.

W A His few companions were his sister, Dennis Hanks, a. boy some nine years older than he, and Austin Gollaker, the son of a nearby farmer. In the summer Abe and Austin played together. They went in swimming, and got their backs sunburnt so the skin peeled off. They climbed trees to get nuts and fruit, went fishing, and hunting. Abe, one day of their wanderings, was walking on at log across a. pond. The log was slippery and so were Abels feet. Suddenly he Went up in the air and fell in the yellow muddy water beneath. Neither boy could swim, but Austin, who had reached the other side safely, succeeded in pushing a pole out to Abe. In this way he saved Abraham Lineolnls life. Abe excelled in athletics. His favorite sports, however, were running, jumping, and wrestling. He could 'tlickll any boy 01' man in the country around. People not only liked Abe, but they trusted him. He never lied, never tried to blame anyone for his mistakes. Over the door of the little school he attended, a fine pair of antlers was fastened. One day Abe: tried to swing back and forth on them. As his weight was too much, tl1e antlers broke. When the angry teacher demanded to know who had done it, without hesitation Abe stepped up saying, I did it. I did not mean to do it, but I hung on it and it brokef, From this time on he was known as t'Honest Abe. Not only was Abe truthful but- he was also generous and loved animals and was always kind to dumb creatures. In his earlier years he had little to give, but he always willingly gave up what he had. One day returning from a dayls fishing with one fish, he met- a. soldier who came from the Battle of New Orleans, with General Jackson, Abe, remembering he had been told to be good to soldiers, handed him the one fish. One freezing morning as the Lincolns were crossing a stream on their third move, a dog was left behind, it whined and ran back and forth, but would not jump in and swim across. Young Lincoln took off his shoes, waded into the icy water, gathered the hound in his arms, and carried it over. He could not bear to see the animal left. On this third move, Abe peddled needles, pins, thread, calico, buttons, and other small necessities to the country folk. It took nearly two weeks for the Lincolns to reach their destination, which was Macon County, Illinois. On arriving, all hands fell to with energy to build a cabin, and, this done, to split- rails for the field. The field fenced, the ground broken, and crops put in, Abe was free. And so this strong, brawny, country boy, with an axe over his shoulder and a smile on his face set out for himself F- a free man! Virginia Crisp, 332.

Some sounds are music-like the 'fMoonlight Sonatall, which seems to almost drip with sheer beauty, other sounds,-they are those things, most enhancing, which you so often do not fully appreciate. For instance, is there anything more enchanting, just as you're dozing off, after a long, hard day at school, than that peculiar grating noise of the bus as it shifts on the hill? It seems to echo and vibrate throughout the room, until every vestige of drowsiness you ever had, has disappeared. Then the wind, sobbing and moaning, dashes madly in your window, lifting the curtains and dropping them again with a resounding slap. The muflied roar of the ocean can be heard in the distance, as it adds its voice to the din, ravenously snatching thousands of tiny stones, and then disglustedly throwing them back again. Above all can be heard the mournful howl of the dog as he vainly combats with the forces of nature. Accompanied by such soothing sounds, you drift off into that so-called sea of dreams. lVhat sound is there more pleasing to bring you back to port, than the clink of the breakfast tray-the hiss of the steam in the radiator-the crackle of the wood in the fireplace? A little later as you rush madly around, you are surrounded by confusing sounds+slamming doors-the mad scramble for books-the imperative blowing of the horn. Finally you gain the school, greeted by that unrelenting call to duty-the bugle. You dash frantically around, accompanied by bells-bells- bells-all day long. They arenlt even pretty bells, but harsh, resonant things, coming at the most inofpportune moments. At the end of an interminably long day, released by the bugle, now such a welcome: sound, you rush gaily home. Laterftelephone bells-doorbells-tnever unpleasantl-and-what more per- fect sound with which to end the day,-the call of that moaning sax? Laura Beach, '3O. RAIN Rain .....

Some noses, at the beginning, look quite promising, but as they travel toward the chin, they become over curious and progress too far. There they hang, look- ing inquisitively into that dark, red cavern, commonly called the mouth. Then there is the pug nose, which hitches its wagon to a star. Scorning to continue on the downward path, trodden by ordinary noses, it strives for higher things. Then there is the Hrudder of the facell, as Hazlitt calls it, which seeks to broaden itself by travel. Beautiful noses are rarely seen, but most' noses have a. charm all their own. which makes up for their lack of beauty.

THE LITERARY CLUB Just, as in the days of old when the renowned Samuel Johnson founded in 1764 the famous Literary Club for which he has been remembered, so, today in 1930 wc, the Senior Class of Thayer Academy, have founded a club which we hope will in future years be equally famous. .lust as .lohnson's informal club held weekly meetings at the close of the day, at the Mitre Tavernc, so too, do we meet weekly at the end of our school day in the Library. Composed of members fully as enthusiastic over our dis- cussions as such men as Sir Joshua Reynolds. Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith, David Carrick and Mr. Gibbon, we have succeeded in surviving the most ani- mated arguments. Having begun its career with an enrollment of approximately five, our club has rapidly increased to its present enlistment of fifteen. A very keen sympathy' with each other's appreciation of literature' has resulted from our meetings and we trust that no such lack of sympathy as that which caused Sir John Hawkins to Hseeeden from .lohnson's Literary Club will ever be the cause of the departure of any member from ours. Undoubtedly we shall live to see some of our members as the great rivals of these former talented men. Even now can we discern Mary Rogers making humorous sketches of her friends as did Sir Joshua Reynolds: Ruth Alice Marston debating before Congress on HConciliation with the Philippinesng hlargaret Grimes writing another poem The Deserted Village , taken from her experiences in New Hampshire, Dorothy Tilden manifesting the talents of David Carriekg and Pauline Davenport lectur- ing on history in the various Colleges of the country. The elass of 1930 Wishes the best of luck to this Literary Club in future years. 94 'YUR cfm! Qdedhx XJ -35'-rs JRR!-45, warg X 25 'f-rf! 9...

REVIEW MATH An expensive subject in view of the reams of paper, erasers, note books, and compasses necessary, at subject involving a mind capable of sitting up until twelve P. M., a handy tele- phone, and a hand adapted to copying your neighbors' lop- sided figures. FRENCH Best acquired when patient' has a cold, otherwise involving impossible acrobatic stunts of the lips, and queer gurgling sounds of the vocal chords. ENGLISH A subject demanding a mouth large enough to swallow NVeb- ter's International Dictionary, a. brain competent' to write several thousand words on nothing, and the extraordinary pow- er of calmly observing a roomful of hypcrcritical humans, whilc orating for five minutes on a subject hastily acquired the period before. CHEMISTRY A subject demanding the power of withstanding the smell ol' over-ripe eggs and its equivalent, the faculty of salting down many facts in the time required to traverse the bleaky ground from the north door to the chemistry laboratory and the super-human feat- of rigging up your apparatus with all your delivery tubes broken. a piece of asbestos that burns, and no stoppers or rubber tubes.

I could tell you all about the Birds, and trees, and flowers, Or I Could tell you about IVar and Famine, Love and Friendship. But at this moment I do not feel As if I could possibly write a poem That would have rhyme or rhythm. I have raeked llly brain for a thought And I have wished for an inspiration, But to no avail, my brain is numb, And refuses to work. I have thought so long and hard, That I am weary in mind And see three things where there should be but one. At first I thought I should write about the Sea But not being nautieal, I vetoed the idea, And east about for more thoughts. Love eame to my mind, But not being a great lover, I grew sad and thought of War And Famine, But, these did not appeal to my faney Not, having experienced either of the two, I angled some more, And at last caught an idea, but I was not satisfied and threw it away. I grew weary and gave up hope Of ever writ-ing a poem until I thought Of writing some nonsense. Now having read this I think you'll agree, that I have sueeeded in my plan, And that I ought to be Shot at sunrise teven though I don't rise 'Til ten o'eloek and I do need my beauty sleepl. So having done this, I think I'll stop, And bid you, f'Au revoir . Alfred Bruee Crawford, '30 7 Pupils singing: Under the Branehesf' .Um Kelis: 'fFine work but eut the branehes a little shorter.
