Out into the world we venture, And to all our friends we say, “Should old acquaintance be forgot” As we pass upon our way. Turners days are days of glory, Memory lives in every heart, And tonight we stand together Bound by song before we part. Now from high school we are going, With these words we say “Goodby” “Should old acquaintance be forgot” And our days at Turners High. Music by Gordon Higinbolham Words by Pearl Long Class Ode Dear Class of 1935 Our love we pledge anew Our faith, our loyalty, and strength, Our lives we give to you. The influence that you have wrought The future years will show We’ll keep our standards ever high And strive to rise and grow. The happy days that we have shared, The friendships held so dear, The memories of all our days, Will last for many a year. And now that final days are here Our hearts would like to tell Our love for Alma Mater true Before we say, “farewell.” Janet Jillson 19 3 5 seven “Gus” TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL GUSTAVE MILKEY Gus has been a very busy man during all four years.

He was a track man, too, for a while and member of the “T” Club. Plans undecided.

The rest of her time was spent either on the way to, at, or coming home from the metropolis beyond the mountain — Greenfield.

Besides that, she has won first honors in the Shorthand Tournament. She was also on the Freshman Social Committee. She will enter Wilford Academy for Hairdressers in the fall. RUTH RAU “Ruthie” Ruth has proved to be a versatile girl. She served as class treasurer for a year and a half and is secretary of the Glee Club. She served on committees for Freshman, Sophomore and Senior Socials besides ushering at the Prom. In sports Ruth played Tennis and Hockey. She decorated for our Prize Speaking Contest. And last but not least she belongs to the Pro Merito Society. Although her plans are undecided we are sure she will suc- ceed with her secretarial work. ROMONA REMILLARD “Mo” “Mo” can swim like a fish. She likes to hike through the woods of Gill and enjoy Nature. Plans to go in training at the Farren Memorial Hosptial. ALFRED RITCHOTTE Freddy” No, you are wrong — he is not related to the famous musical Ritchottes of Riverside, for “Freddy” is one of the well-known “Monkey City” dwellers. We do not mean that to cast any reflections, although that might not be so far wrong for some — Of course, no one in the illustrious Class of ’35 would come under this category — so don’t be insulted — Freddy. He plans to become a mechanic. twenty-four 19 8 5 WILLIAM ROBERTS TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL “Chuck’’ Chuck is another boy who came from our rival, Greenfield. While there he went out for baseball. At Turners he has done more, however, for he went into football and basketball as well as baseball. He belonged to the “T” Club, the Ger- man Club and the Science Club, and was an usher at the Senior Play. He has apparently two main recreations, going to the movies and fishing. This latter could perhaps be ex- pected, living as he does, so near the river. His plans are undecided. FREDERICK ROSBERRY “Freffer Frederick, one of our tall boys is big hearted and most like- able. His grin has brightened many dark spots and his wit has solved many a tough problem. He has the makings of a real scientist which he has proved at Science Club meetings. At Northeastern we are sure he will succeed. CLARA ROSS “ Carrot ” Clara’s favorite expression oueht to be “What — no one else wants me to help her with her algebra or Geometry?” She is one of our mathematical wizards. Clara also is active in sports, as she played basketball, hockey, and baseball. She also has belonged to Latin Club, and served on social Commit- tees. She plans to attend Fitchburg State Teachers College. ALFRED SEARS “.4 ” Alfred is a dark, mystery man who delights in his pipe. However, pipes are not his only interest, for he collects rifles. So — you who might be taking bird walks (or something) around Pleasant Street — beware ! He plans to go to work. WILLIAM SEARS “Bill’’ Athletics was his main aim in life yet he found time to at- tend Science Club meetings. He participated on the football and basketball teams during this last two years at school. Plans to go to work. M 193 5 twenty-five “Goo Goo’’ TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL LORETTA SIMPSON Although Loretta has never seemed inordinately fond of her studies — especially Chemistry, we notice, she does seem to spend a good deal of time at that wonderful institution known as the Public Library. Perhaps it is because her pal, Flora, works there, or perhaps because — but you guess. She plans to attend Massachusetts State College. VIOLA SIVIK “Vi” “Vi” has been very active during her four years. Pesides working on Prom and other Social Committees, she belonged to the Commercial Club and was prominent in all kinds of sports, basketball, hockey, volley ball and tennis. Viola’s main interest is music — she belonged to the Glee Club and has played the piano for all ’35 chorus periods. She plans to go to Springfield Normal School. JULIA SIWIZKI “Bimbo” We would recognize Bimbo among even the heathen Chinese by her smile. And she seems to smile her broadest in history class. She probably is one of these people that sees points of Mr. Lorden’s jokes. She plans to go in training. WALLACE SKOWRAN “ Gling-Glong ” This is the boy who is too modest to show his talents to most of his classmates. He never displayed any of his musi- cal or scientific ability except to his best friends and com- panions. Plans to become a mariner. JOHN SKRZYPEK “Tiny” John is our class shadow. He seldom laughs but when he does we all know he has something up his sleeve. Plans to go to work. twenty-six 19 3 5 EDWARD SOJKA TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Although Edward has been called “Celina’s Little Lamb”! ! we don’t quite see where the “lamb” part comes in--we would think he was more like a big Newfoundland or sumpin’ — but every one has a right to his own opinion. He was certainly a good track man and helped his Alma Mater a good deal in track meets. He was also a member of the “T” Club. He plans to become a north woods guide. EDWARD SOKOLOWSKI “ Socko ” “Socko” is one of those good fishermen from Riverside. Did you ever see “Socko” when he wasn’t smiling? Plans to go to work. CELINA ST. GERMAIN “Texas A cheery smile for everyone and a good sport — that’s Texas! I’m sure she’ll succeed in whatever she tries! Texas has helped on the Sophomore and Freshman Social Commit- tees and she’s also played on the girls’ basketball team. She belongs to both the French and Commercial Clubs. Texas hopes to enter the nursing profession in the future. Lucky Patients! HELEN STRATTON “Nell Helen has artistic ability and we hope that she can keep up her good work in this line. She exhibited some of this ability last year when she was on the Junior Prom decorating com- mittee. Helen was on the refreshment committee at the Senior Social to the Freshman. She was a member of the Glee Club for one year. Helen is a member of the Pro Merito Society. Plans to continue her secretarial work. FRANCIS SULDA “ Meyers ” Francis is the business man of our class. His business-like ability is reflected in everything he attempts. When it comes down to groceries “Meyers” knows his beans. We are sure he will make a most successful grocer. 4 | 1935 twenty-seven Q) TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL RITA SULLIVAN “Sully” Rita has been a boon to girls who want their coiffeurs at- tended to without going to a hair dresser, as she is very clever at finger waving. She has belonged to the Commercial Club, has worked on Prom Committee and has gone out for basket- ball and field hockey. She plans to go to Wilfred Academy. RAYMOND SUPRENANT “Ray A shiek among women and a man among men. Ray was President of the Science Club and a member of the Senior Play cast. He was on the football and track teams and in the “T” Club. He also helped on the Prom and Social Commit- tees. Plans to go to Syracuse University. CHARLES TUTTLE “Staunch” Charlie who is our best looking boy has served us in many ways. He has made an excellent cheerleader and a capable captain for our Tennis team. He is a member of the “T” and Latin Clubs, and served on the Prom Committee. We are sure he will make a grand aviator at the Ryan Fly- ing School in California. “ Fly over and see us sometime,” Charlie. BERTHA VILLENEUVE Bertha is the red head of the class but she certainly hasn’t the fiery temper that goes with it. Bertha has worked hard during her four years and has done good work. We hope she may continue to do as well after she leaves us. She is a mem- ber of the French, Stamp and Glee Clubs, and served on the Freshman Social Committee. In whatever she does she will succeed. Plans undecided. REGINA WALICHOWSKI “Reginski” Regina apparently likes her athletics — perhaps she takes after her sister in that respect — for she has gone out for hockey and basketball, and has been most faithful in turning up at practice — (And that is more than some can say!) “Reginski” also served on Prom and Sophomore Social Com- mittees. She plans to become a child’s nurse. twenty-eight 19 3 5 gj ITURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL! Up) EDWIN WATTLES “Eddie” Popularity, talent and scholarship all in one person. He was Secretary of the Science Club. President of the German Club, a member of the Pro Merito Society and of the Latin Club. He participated in Prize Speaking and rendered an excellent account of himself in the Senior Play. He was an active member of the Prom Committee and the Year Eook Staff. Plans to enter college. NELLIE WOZNIAK “Guard” Nellie can not be excelled in sports, studies or smiles. She is a member of the Pro Merito Society. She Dlays on our hockey, basketball, and tennis teams. She certainly strength- ened our belief that she was an actress when she took part in the Senior Play. She is a member of the Commercial Club and served on the Prom and Sophomore Social Committees. Plans undecided. RAYMOND YARMAC “Ray” Everyone knows “Ray” by the ray of mischief in his eyes. — (No comment on the pun, please.) Raymond has always worked hard in his studies. Although football seemed to be his only interest (outside of his studies, of course!) he played a good game and was a pal to everyone. He plans to go to work. MARION WELCOME “Sally” Where does Marion get time to do all that she does? In the athletic field she entered field hockey two years, basketball two years and tennis two years. She is also on th e Netop Board. She did very well in the Prize Speaking Contest. Her selection was “The Chariot Race.” To some people she is known as “Big Chief Pail-in-the-Well.” Plans undecided. HOWARD ZIMMERMAN “ Heinie ” Howard is one of these people that never makes himself too prominent — in fact we might almost say he is quiet — but he is always there — and always with every bit of his homework done — and well, too. He has been Pro Merito (in fact he had the honor of being secretary) a member of the Netop Board, the Latin Club — (Latin is his forte, by the way) “T” Club and German Club. He went out for baseball and served on a committee Jor the Prom. He plans to continue his education. 19 3 5 twenty-nine TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Characteristics of 1935 15 Name Hobby Bugbear Favorite Expression Characteristic Baker, Richard Music Brunettes “You is, huh?” Comical Bitzer, Flora Swimming Studying “You wouldn’t kid a guy, would you Bookish i ?’ Blassberg, Irving Driving Women “I don’t know.” Optimistic Bogush, Stanislaus Fishing English “Says who ?” Dashing Burham, Sara Driving a V-8 Blondes “Not bad !” Giggling Christian, Louis Shoe Shops Talking “Yah!” Athletic Conway, Rita Walking Nicknames “You know” Jovial Cote, Pearl Reducing Gym “Ya” Laughing Cotton, Yenta Collecting Scotties People with no sense of humor “My goodness !” Witty Courtemarche, Alfred Sports Library “That’ll be the day!” Happy-go-lucky Cyhowsky, Ceslawa Cooking Dancing “Ha!

In order that the office girls may save shoe leather, we leave Mr. Burke a system of loud- speakers in every home room, by which to make announcements at the end of the day. So that Mr. Wrightson will always have some- thing to amuse himself in his spare moments, we leave him an entire Roman battery in min- iature and a box of erasers to shoot. We think Mr. Lorden really needs a dicta- phone and a robot secretary to take Nellie Woz- niak’s place, so we pass on one of these obliging machines to him. To all students who come through the sand- bank on their way to school, we leave a board walk and some steps, that they might be spared wasting time dumping sand from their shoes. Lincoln Daly has been a great asset to the class of ’35 in keeping up its dignity, so we leave it to the juniors as they will need it next year. (Note: this is to be apportioned among them in the following ratio — % to Eleanor Dolan and Ham Trudel, and i 8 to the rest of the class.) To our friend and coach Mr. Lorden we be- queath a large placard with the words — “Don’t you see” on one side, and “Come in and see me again sometime” on the other — to save breath. To Miss McGillicuddy, we give a new clock for her home room — we think the students might also appreciate it. We give to all girls’ gym classes a large shower room and time to take showers after class, and to dress leisurely. To Mr. Maddern we leave a system of pul- leys and inclined planes invented by Irving Blassberg, by which all wastebaskets are low- ered to the furnace room at 12:30 by merely pulling levers. We grant the freshman Evelyn Primeau’s and Abbie Fish’s dancing ability so they may do more at future socials than look on and eat re- freshments. We leave Phyllis Griesbach some seven- league boots to take her over to Greenfield every other day. We feel Mr. Bickford really needs a large cleaning machine in which all the instruments that have not been satisfactorily shined, can be placed at the last minute before an important appearance — so we leave one to him. We bequeath to Miss Teed a carton of Grape Nuts so that she will have enough energy for all that is required of her during the year. To the Riding Club we leave a private bus to transport them to the stables whenever needed. Knowing how much she loves English Classes, we give to Miss O’Keefe half a dozen to take up her time next year. We gra nt to Miss Parsons the authority to have a shorter road built to Middlebury, so that “Red” will not have to wait for vacations. In order that Mr. Sheff may make his classes understand him we leave him a megaphone with his name on it so there will be no danger of it falling into the hands of cheer leaders. For easier transportation of material to the Printing Office, we give a small electric loco- motive to future Netop boards and Year Book staffs. We leave to all occupants of Rooms 17, 18, and 15 small desk lights so they will not have to rely on the small chandeliers with which these rooms are lighted. To all students we bequeath desk ink-wells that are always filled, pens that never scratch, and pencils that are always sharp. We leave to all teachers a system of sponges and water jets on the blackboards for easier washing. To Mr. Shumway we leave a supply of un- breakable test tubes for future chemistry stu- dents who might be a bit careless with the school’s property. In witness whereof we, the class of 1935 have .hereby sealed this last will and testament in this nineteenth day of June in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-five. Class of ’35 Barbara Harlow TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL 1 Class Prophecy First, every organization must have a head, and since Barbara Harlow has had much experi- ence in this line, she must have the task of efficiently managing the 1935 O. F. A. S. 0. M. (Outlet For All Sorts of Merchandise). Matthew Johnson, will no doubt feel quite important in his assistant manager’s position, and Helen Stratton, I hear, ought to make quite a capable advertising manager. Each must have his own private secretary who will keep all business transactions strictly confidential, so Rita Girard, Marion Welcome and Nellie Wozniak are appointed to the task. The 1935 0. F. A. S. O. M. will naturally have several subdivisions. The main attraction for the women, of course, is the ladies’ department. The dress shop must be operated by Rita Conway, who, I notice, is always ahead in style. The models must be Agnes Kallins, Janet Jillson, and Eve- lyn Primeau, who have had experience in posing and ought not to stumble. In the beauty department Pearl Ivuklewicz and Irene Long must share managership. In one subdivision, the Hair-Dressmg Parlor, Rita Sullivan will have to develop her talent in perfecting coiffeurs on Sophie Dzeima, Mary Pinna, Mary Kosewicz and Celina St. Germain. Warning! ! ! ! (Edward Sojka is not to come within 50 yards of the department). Irene Pine must serve an apprenticeship under Monsieur Paquin, Parisian beauty expert, for two years after which time she will have to return to these United States (God Save the Common- wealth of Massachusetts) to introduce his methods at the 1935 0. F. A. S. 0. M. Her assistant will be Evelyn Mathieu and together they must demonstrate by the proper use of cosmetics how a shy little maiden, like Ruth Ran may be transformed into a ravishing “come hither siren”. In the same department Ruth Lapidus will be able to be consulted about “perfumes and their tantalizing effects on males”. Sara Burnham will show one how to giggle and keep young while Julia Kuklewicz and Stephie Kulis shall illustrate “a snicker a day keeps the blues away”. Elsie Kennedy, Ellen Lonergan, and Gladys Finck shall illustrate the intricate stitches in the latest sweaters while you may enjoy a cup of tea with little cakes prepared by Madeline Ostrasky. Helen Parzick ought to be quite capable at the Information desk while at the switchboard we shall find Ellen Milkey, Ceslawa Cyhowsky and Julia Siwizki who are to be trained to say “Hello!” in the best possible manner by none other than Esther Hare. To insure against cleptomaniacs Frederick Rosberry and Pearl Long must be the house detec- tives equipped fully with magnifying glasses and Sherlock Holmes disguises. The genial John Niedzwiecki and Francis Sulda will preside at the market which must have the greatest selection of the world’s rarest fruits and vegetables. Frank Johnson will give three performances daily in front of the market showing the value of spinach. After eating three tubfulls he must pick up Wallace Skowron with one finger, twirl him around and toss him down the length of the hall. Irving Blassberg must be the head elevator man content with carrying people up and down for a change. His assistants will be Michael Mucha and Stanley Bogusz who will help him ponder over Einstein’s theories. As janitor, Dlugosz will have to be most thorough in cleaning up the gum, floor-walker, Harry O’Connell will most likely have distributed during the course of the day. To Sarantos Miionas goes the task of keeping the shoes of the employees spotlessly clean. 41 thirty- four 19 3 5 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL To guard against any disorderly conduct or strikes in the building Waelaf Milowski must take charge of a militia, as commander-in-chief with Raymond Yarmac, Edward Sokoloski, Chester Napi- koski and Joseph Golowka to help him keep law and order. Alfred Courtemanche must be like a fragrant flower at the sweet-smelling soap counter and why not with Irving Krainson’s Poultry booth right next to his? Charles Karasinski and Harold Long, in ten easy lessons (minus aeroplanes) show you how to fly with a guarantee of no sea-sickness. Parents will be able to leave their children in the huge nursery with Yenta Cotton while they are shopping. She will play her favorite game “Cowboys and Indians” with them while at inter- vals Archie Daignault must swing from chandelier to chandelier, a la Tarzan, as he yodeles “The man on the Flying Trapeze”. Occasionally, traveling salesman, Donald Foote, who represents the Mustache-Growing Department, must look in on the children and keep them amused with his bogey- man antics. Every Tuesday afternoon Gordon Higginbotham must imitate the piper with his clari- net. Flora Bitzer and Loretta Simpson must take charge of the bookshop and feature their own book entitled “We’re No Angels”. The 0. F. A. S. 0. M. will have its own “Gill Green House ” under the management of Olga Jur- gelewicz, Annie Niedbala, Romona Remillard and Ruth Marble. With millions of Turners Falls residents crowding into the store there will probably be many injured so, as attendant physician, Edwin Wattles will take care of these assisted by Gertrude McCarthy and Bertha Villeneuve. If the patient dies (Alack, Alas!) he will have to be placed in the funeral rooms at the rear of the building. The directors will be Richard Baker, Alfred Richotte, Edward McCrea and Gilbert Moltenbrey. Howard Zimmerman, as pi iest, will perform last rites. Helen Gewehr will sing the dirges accompanied by Viola Sivik at the organ. Richard McGillicuddy is to sleep on a cot in the building so that he may never be late for his job of dressing dummy models. Lawrence Patterson will demonstrate to insomnia sufferers his sure cure which consists of merely relaxing anywhere, anytime and anyhow. Of course for a diversion you will be allowed to run your own night club with Gustave Milkey as manager with under-cover men in William Roberts, Baldy Pervere and Frank Myleck. The bounc- ers will be Alfred Sears, Bernard McCarthy and Louis Christian. Sabina Ostraski will act the gracious hostess. The head waiters will be the experienced Lin- coln Daly and Raymond Suprenant, who must serve the delicious dishes prepared by Chef Hitch- cock. Head Bartender William Sears will concoct the light drinks. Men for an evening will be Charles Tuttle, Albert Fish, Edmund Kawecki and John Eastman. Bud’s Famous Band must provide the music featuring Katz Delpha, entertainer and Edward Naida, crooner. Nightly performances will be given by Veronica Putala, Regina Walichowski, dance partners and pupils of Fred Astaire. Because of the defeats suffered by the girl’s basketball team they are hereby sentenced never again to touch a basketball and must be content to toss plates in the kitchen, and so Leafy Fuller, Mary Murphy, Christine Hall, Clara Ross and Barbara Newton are appointed to the task.

Our class of ’35! Freshies galore! 135 and that’s been quite enough Stepped boldly through the high school door Like diamonds in the rough With puffed-out chests and crafty smirk That made 11 s look like sure ’miff men We proclaimed to Mr. Burke We’re going places in 19 (when?) His answer set us all aglow, And made us feel quite proud. He said he was sure we’d show The rest we could beat their crowd. So listen a while and you may hear, Listen a while and you may see, How we upheld through high school career This true spoken prophecy. First we were led to room sixteen Here we found seats for one and all, Seats for the plump and seats for the lean, Seats for the short and seats for the tall. Next we met our teachers dear, They looked at us agog. “What bright pupils we have this year, Yes, bright as London fog!” We soon learned to study hard And seldom failed in preparation, For if ever caught off guard A detention was the certain reparation. The freshman social, so they say, it seems to us ’tis true, Marked the birth of our heyday And made of us something new. That night we learned to dance (and how) Around the floor we did bounce and bob, The seniors sighed and said “Now, Now”. And cursed “That freshie mob”. As “wall flowers” that night our class was supreme. There sat Irving all stern and sedate And beside him, Flora, “Sweet Sixteen”. Just two little love birds having a tete-a-tete, 1 o s 5 thirty-seven TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL m Such was the state of many that night, All we could do was sit and dream And look ahead with growing delight To the attraction of the evening ice cream. Thus the year sped by on wings And we did our daily grind, While the teachers said about such things, “Study, if knowledge you would find.” In June they gave us promotion cards And a ten-week vacation. Then we all became great bards And sang with great elation. For now we had left the freshman state And were sophomores that are often called akin To that specie of bug that irritates By getting under people’s skin. The sophomore with swapper lonp, A swellinp head and boastinp tonpue Betrays in campus, class or street The wine of infinite self-conceit. School reopened with hurry and hustle, For new clothes each pupil had spent a dollar, Each girl appeared with silken skirts a-rustle, Each boy squirmed under a stiff, white collar. Soon our class got its finishing touch When Miss Lindsay our leader became, To further our education she has done much And led us to our present fame. We sophomores, they say, and I’m afraid it’s no lie. Stalked around with such a superior air Indeed we held our heads so high That the f reshies asked, “How’s the weather up there?” We soon settled down to serious study In English we met “Bill” Shakespeare, the bard, In Latin we fought Caesar’s wars so bloody And wondered why sophomores had to work so hard. This year we were taught to be soldiers strong We drilled with Mr. Burke ’most every day, And you may be sure it wasn’t very long Before we acquired a military way. We soon put Turners back on its feet When McCarthy and Pervere made the team, Which gave Greenfield a Thanksgiving defeat, And our honor did redeem. This year we held our first election, The officers we chose have proved ideal, We soon found we’d made a very good selection For they have worked with devotion and zeal. “Gus” Milkey has made a president grand, And “Mike” Mucha is right there, too, thirty-eight 1 9 3 5 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Rita Conway with her records is always at hand, Better treasurers than Pat Golec never grew. Now came the time to put on our first dance The sophomore social was our debut That night we did further enhance As we danced what seemed the whole night through. When we look back we chuckle with glee To think how the receiving line seemed so long, Such bashful boys and girls were we As we mumbled “Good Evening” and passed along. In basketball this year nothing did we lack For with Mass. State as a genial host We won the tourney and brought home the plaque And the cheering cup too,- — almost ! The teachers tried all our fun to spoil And made our final exams real hard But we wisely burned the midnight oil, And thus cinched for ourselves a promotion card. Again the authorities with canny foresight Gave us a summer vacation. This time we only grinned to show our delight To do more we considered below our station. The stein stands for the junior class, For that means friendship which will last, Good common sense and simpler life, With days free from petty strife. A class of sterling worth, That’s a view of our junior class. Modest, discreet, yet full of mirth, That’s why we all others surpass. Long will we remember that hot September day When we marched in the parade of the N. R. A Our batallions of boys and girls did their part While our band played music that stirred every heart. In chemistry we struggled with atomic weights, in English with Shakespeare’s irksome plays, European History was full of boring dates, And Cicero’s orations left us in a daze. Chorus periods afford us much glee Because we learn much about music you see, And we’d skip a dry subject in science or math, Although we must walk in the straight, narrow path. 0 glorious football ! For you the players, short and tall, Over the ground scramble and sprall, For you they pull and haul and maul, 0 bouncing, bounding pigskin, With bruise on skin and kick on chin, With blackened legs and peeling skin, They battle on and seek to win, 19 3 5 thirty-nine TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL m 0 mighty pigskin ! Our football team showed plenty of action McCarthy — Kawecki — Christian — Pervere Brought memories of good old Stonewall Jackson, When they stopped their foes with a jolt severe. This year they gave Greenfield the works complete, They tore through their line and knocked them off their feet, Till Greenfield in body and spirit was so broken, That what they said was better unspoken. Prize speaking proved to be a grand affair Under the direction of able Miss Teed, Such a performance as we did prepare Another class will find hard to exceed. All the seats were full and the aisles, too, And the crowd looked down from the balcony, Excitement reigned when the judges withdrew, And everyone wondered what the decision would be. Yenta Cotton won first prize and justly so, “Al” Courtemanche was second best, Irene Long placed third, as you probably know, But close opposition came from the rest. April brought the Prom very near, Then things began to hum. Freshman girls became very sweet and dear And a fellow with a bid had many a chum. The decorations which were unique and rare Added much to the success of the occasion. The idea came from the World’s Fair, Where Miss Lindsay had spent her vacation. The girls in their gowns were a beautiful sight The boys all looked like Princes of Wales All was color and sparkle that night, All was harmony to the smallest details. Final exams were our next big worry Whether or not we were promoted depended on these. To prepare ourselves we had to hurry But most of us struggled to get by with “C’s”. Hot June brought dreams of the “Old Swimmin’ Hole” And school began to be a bore So we were given ten weeks parole And invited to return in the fall once more. They say the senior has a mind Filled with knowledge, distilled and refined To help him on his f uture way, And help him conquer in the fray. We returned next fall as seniors austere And renewed our pursuit of knowledge, Our aim in this our senior year Was to prepare ourselves for life and college. Personified wisdom you could discern forty 19 3 5 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL When a senior you chanced to meet Though our expression is dour and countenance stern Under it all we’re really quite sweet. The man who has done most to lighten our work Is our popular Principal, Mr. Burke, To him and our teachers we extend our thanks And ask for forgiveness for all our pranks. Much of our success is due to Miss Ayer, Our English teacher and friend In times of need she’s always been there And her patience is without end. Under her guidance the Nctop has grown And now bi-weekly goes to the press Thus due to her efforts it is a success. Of all senior plays “The Swan” was the best 1 think with that you’ll agree Of acting ability this play was a real test And who could have done better than we? Today the actors are still a sight, Barbara Harlow has retained her royal air, “Gus” Milkey is ready any tutor to fight, Over her troubles Helen Parzick still tears her hair, Nell Wozniak follows her with a consoling word While “Bud” Mac and Charlie Tuttle look on very bored. Not a peep from the servants can ere be heard, But Gordon still trips over that awful long sword. Miss Teed was responsible for the success of this play To prepare it she worked both night and day, What would we have done without our director? O Lord for others we beg thee to protect her. As king of scholars, Gordon Higginbotham wears the crown And Pearl Long is the queen of our class this year. Now both exclaim with worried frown, “Honor essays are no fun we’re beginning to fear”. The historian and prophet have labored hard and long, And so have they who drew up this program and will. And though their facts and rhymes may be wrong, They have made the best of their limited skill. Today we are wearing cap and gown, The symbols of graduation. For our class we know we have won renown And for ourselves a higher education. Edwin Wattles 19 3 5 forty -one TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL UT1 C ” 1 he owan As the curtain rose we entered into the spirit of royalty. George and Arsene, played by Charles Tuttle and Richard McGillicuddy, were young boys about eleven and thirteen years old. They had just completed reciting their lessons to their teacher, Professor Nicholas Agi, played by Edwin Wattles. Their house was greatly stirred up because Prince Albert (Gustave Milkey) was there visiting. It was supposed that he would ask Alexandra (Barbara Harlow) to marry him. Princess Beatrice (Helen Parzick) was the mother of Alexandra and the two boys, and she was very anxious to have Alexandra become a queen. Alexandra asked Dr. Nicholas to be very attentive towards her, so she could make Prince Al- bert jealous. The teacher agreed, as he was very much in love with Alexandra. Later that night Dr. Nicholas was present at the table with Alexandra and Prince Albert. Princess Beatrice did not think it fitting to have Dr. Nicholas at the table with them as he was only a teacher who came from humble parentage. The Princess was very much shocked because Alexandra took her first sip of wine. Alexandra did this so that Nicholas would not feel out of place, as he had made a bad blunder by drinking his too soon. The Princess became hysterical and so retired to her room. The Prince and Doctor Nicholas began arguing and so Father Hyacinth, played by Alfred Courtemanche, brought them together again. Doctor Nicholas left in the morning. George and Arsene who were both fond of their teacher gave him a departing gift. Princess Maria Dominica arrived shortly after and was very glad to welcome Alexandra as her son’s future wife. Father Hyacinth was evidently a favorite of the boys. Their actions when news arrived that he was coming made this plain. Symphorosa, played by Nellie Wozniak, was the fluttery aunt. She caused a good deal of amuse- ment and humor in the play. No review of the play would be complete without mentioning the but- ler, Caesar, who was played by Irving Blassberg. The two lackeys, the maid and the two ladies in waiting also played important parts. The scenery and costumes helped one feel that he was actually living with these characters. forty-two 1 9 3 5 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Top: — Donald Foote, Charles Tuttle, Raymond Passino, Mary Trend, Irene Long, Doris Cadran. Zip! Zowie! Crash! Bang! Here we are, the Turners Gang! Oh, woe is us! Lame again! Such is the life of a cheer leader! Cheer leading gives one plenty of exercise. Ask us. We know. We have our ups a nd downs. We also have our discouraging, surprising, and proud moments. Our discouraging moments come when we can’t get any inspirations for new cheers. When the students show their school spirit and yell as loud as they can, we get our surprise moments. When we stand in front of the student body and lead the cheers at the football, and basketball games, or the tournament, we get our proud mo- ments. All in all, we have our moments. We want to tell you just what a cheer leader must be able to do. 1. He must be able to handle a student body tactfully. 2. He must know his cheers, motions, and songs thoroughly. 3. He must be able to give and teach these cheers to the students. 4. He must practice the cheers faithfully before they are given to the student body. This takes a good deal of time and practice. Just the same, cheer leading is fun and it gives one a chance to met the boys and girls of other schools. The senior cheer leaders wish to take this opportunity to give the leaders of next year a few words of advice. In order that they may profit by our experience we, Charles Tuttle, Irene Long, and Donald Foote prescribe a large bottle of our “Good Cheer” horse liniment. If this is applied before and after practicing cheers, the leaders will be able to walk up and down stairs very nicely. If applied once in a “blue moon”, the chances are they won’t be able to walk at all. Ha! Painful memories get thee hence. Of course, we do not wish to discourage the candidates for cheer leading, neither do we wish to set up a “Good Cheer” horse liniment business. All we want to do is to give them advice that we have a slight idea, is probably known already, (are we right?) Oh, well — such is the life of a cheer leader. 19 3 5 forty-three TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Ivy Poem Upward, dear Ivy, slowly climb, Leave not a dull red brick undone, Send out your bright and cheery leaves, Plod steadily onward toward the sun. But hear our prayer, oh Ivy small When on brick walls your tendrils cling, Teach us to climb the lofty heights, Slowly and unfaltering. We know not where our paths may lead, As down the road of life we stray, But you, oh Ivy, wise and strong, Kindly guide us on our way. By striving upward, ever upward, We too, can reach our goals, For your vigorous roots of Courage, Are planted deep within our souls. Your tiny tendrils keep our hearts Closed against life’s evil door, And memories of your lessons taught Linger with us evermore. Irene Long forty-four 1 9 3 5 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL SI V!C lclC5C5 WUC Cl ass Ode ON LOOKING BACK If you had a chance to turn hack the clock four years and start your high school course all over again, would you take it? Some of us would, 1 suppose, and some of us wouldn’t. Personally, 1 think it would be quite a thrill to be a freshman again and be able to look forward to my first tournament, my (irst prom, my first everything. If you began over again, would you study harder or would you .jusl spend your time having fun? Would you join more clubs and participate in more extra-curricular activities? Would you strive to get as much as possible out of your years of high school or would you just “slide by”? The answers to these questions are up to you of course, so now let’s think of something else. It’s fun to ski]) around and begin on one subject and end on another. It breaks the monotony, you know. Don’t you think, all of you, that receiving your diploma was the great- est thrill in your high school career? On first thought, some of you will probably think differently. The athletes will say their greatest thrill was “that winning touchdown, basket, or hit”, whichever it may be. The cheer leaders will say, “the tournament or the fair”. The Pro Meritos will prob- ably say, “receiving our Pro Merito pins.” But think again. Now haven’t you come to the conclusion that receiv- ing your diplomas graduation night rather made your spine tingle? For most of us, these four years have passed quickly and we can hard- ly believe that we will never go back to school and be exactly as we were before. Doesn’t this make you feel just a wee bit sad? It docs me. A1 first, l suppose, we will feel so glad at not having any more studying (at least for a while) that we won’t be able to think of anything else but when September rolls around again and we see the others going back, what then? Only time will tell. l o 3 5 forty-five Wb TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL m Verse SHE WAS OLD She was old, and I was young. Her black bonnet Older than the hills, Her long, stiff, black brocaded dress, Rusty with age, And her shabby, ancient black coat, Associated her Only with the past. She was short, And stooped, And Time and Care had placed Upon her brow Illimitable shadows. Her long, thin, bony hands shook, And her pale lips trembled and quivered. Beauty of face and figure Belonged to a time Long since gone by. She was old, and I was young. I’d never seen her before. I met her Just by chance One solitary evening. We talked ; and from her lips I heard Tales of the long ago; Of the long age When she, too, was young. She seemed so old, And lonely, And feeble, That all evening I stayed with her. I was young; my friends were young. She was only a stranger to me. But she was so timid And frail, And when she said, “I’d like to go there If you’d just as soon Go with me,” Someone young, you know,” I went. And when the evening Had faded away, To become only a memory Of “Days Gone By,” And when at length the time arrived For parting, She did not even know my name, Nor I hers. But her “God bless you, dear child, And Good-bye!” I’d not exchange For all the pleasures On God’s earth! And in that single evening I learned That true Beauty Is what you are inside. Her soul Shone more radiantly Than the most rare Of all the precious jewels. A heart of purest gold Was hers Whom probably I’ll never see, again. She was old, and I was young!

Another will look and act and smile In the very same way,” But all the while My heart will cry in secrecy For the one who died. — Y. Cotton. MEDITATION Have you ever wondered why the leaves are green — Or just why there are any leaves at all? Or why some trees remain so short And others grow so very tall? Have you ever thought of the bevies of flowers, And pondered why they should be as they are? Some very stately — like the hollyhock, And some very beautiful — like the bleeding heart! Why couldn’t the rose be a violet, Or the sweet-william be a lily? Why should the orchid be so fragile — For as a gardenia, they’d be just as pretty ! So you see, there really is very much That the best of us can’t understand ! And that gives me something to think about — Why couldn’t I be the best poet in the land? Gustave Milkey. MORNING DIP Smoke curls up the chimney, While the mists of early morn Follow the turns of the river Half-lighted in crimson dawn. High in the birches about the camp The birds begin to sing Their song of praise for the summer days, And a beautiful morning hymn. The bank that dips to the river Is soft and green and cool, All covered with thousands of diamonds — The precious sparkling dew! I scramble down — alone — unseen, ’Till I come to the river’s edge The golden pool entices me. I dive in from the ledge! SOLITUDE Were you ever weary of the toil of the day, When the sun shone down with all its might, And wished that you might take sweet refuge In some shady spot away from the blinding light? And then did you stroll along aimlessly through the wood, Admiring each flower, and tree, and bird, Along a quiet path, shady and cool, Listening, — and enjoying each sound that you heard? And did you not kneel on the cool, damp ground, In the softness of the moss and the trailing pine, And with your hands push back the leaves And discover the small arbutus on its small trailing vine ? And were you not refreshed by its beauty, Its freshness, its delicacy and its smell, And then return again to your worldly tasks, With vigor renewed to do your part well? — Gordon Higinbotham THE ROADSIDE The country road is dusty Because many cars pass by, Here and there remain a few Orange lilies and asters, The rest were picked By city folks in the passing cars. Beside the road Winds a little sparkling brook Where we find violets in the springtime And gentians in the fall ; It would make our roadside prettier, If some day the city folks Would keep their picnic papers, And not take our flowers away. G. McCarthy WHY I LOVE LIFE What is it makes me want to live — makes me love the world? Why, little things of beauty — like the colors in the twilight The streaks of crimson on the hills — the grey and turquoise blended The vista through the apple blossoms to the high blue arch of heav’n Or the sight of drab familiar hills grow greener day by day With freshness sweet and dewey, all sparkling in the sun, While I stand in awe, and wonder that I should so deserve To see such wondrous marvels wrought on earth By God’s own hand. — Janet Jillson Barbara Harlow m TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Club Section fa x ' M m TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL m fifty 1 9 3 5 Wf Top Row, Left to Right:— Janet Aitken, Yenta Cotton, Ellen Milkey, Barbara Harlow, Betty Darrell, Janet Jillson, Barbette Davis Rose Solomon.

We were standing on the third floor of the Turners Falls High School building on a fine spring day in the year 1935. ‘‘Oh that — that’s just the members of the Riding Club going to a meeting in Room 3,” I non- chalantly explained. “Think no more of it.” “They — they don’t bring their horses in with them do they?” he shyly queried as the Noise con- tinued. “Oh, no, no! Not at all,” I hastened to assure him. “Their trusty steeds never even get with- in sight of this building.” I smded as he breathed a sigh of relief and sponged his very perspiring brow with an immaculate handkerchief. “Tell me about this club — You know it wasn’t organized last year when I was here. It sounds interesting.” “Oh, it is!” I cooed, flattered by his enthusiasm. “I’ll tell you the whole story.” “It all began last fall with Miss Teed. She’s a fine rider, you know, and when she suggested a riding club many of the girls responded eagerly. Of course, lots of boys wanted to join too, but the girls insisted it was to be strictly for women.” “But why?” inquired my listener raising one quizzical eyebrow in a most disconcerting fashion. “That’s a most unusual attitude for young ladies to take. Or perhaps the girls of this high school are extraordinary.” “Oh, not at all !” I exclaimed. And then added with a mysterious smile, “You shall see why later.” I continued my recitation as though nothing had happened. “They decided to ride the horses owned by Mr. Billings at Nortnfield, using as a bridle path the scenic river road.” “But I still want to find out why they didn’t want the boys to come,” rudely interrupted the visitor. “Why that’s simple enough. With the exception of Miss Teed, few if any, of the girls even knew how to ‘climb aboard’ a horse at first. They looked absolutely funny squealing and groaning and complaining when anything happened. They clung to the nearest ‘clingable’ thing on the horse as though their lives depended on it. Few knew how to hold their seats, so they bounced up and down until their very teeth seemed shaken loose. They complained if they couldn t start their ‘nags’ with persuasion, verbal or otherwise, and they complained if the animals went too fast for their comfort (the girls’). And that isn’t all. At the beginning, nattily attired Miss Teed was the only one who had an ‘authentic’ riding habit. Most of the girls had to be content with last years’ ski pants or big brothers’ high waters.” But unbeautiful as they were, the girls insisted their rigs served the purpose and the horses didn’t seem to be impressed one way or the other, so the girls were satisfied. But as far as the boys witnessing all this — why that was another mat ter. Now do you understand ?” “Yes,” he grinned. “Thanks for the story. Oh, by the way, May I go up to watch you ride the next time you go?” “No!” 1 insisted firmly. “But why?” he pleaded. “Because,” 1 smiled sorrowfully, “I still jog and bounce!” Yenta Cotton m TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL -G CU £ P$ G PC ctf D m o 3 ffi 03 X O C 0 5 o P 4 03 o3 ?

It opened its season by playing for the Greenfield Fair and during the fall for all of the home games and several of the games away. It, of course, appeared at the Massachusetts State Basketballl Tournament where it presented a fine appearance and rivaled similar organizations from larger schools. Wherever the school band has performed, the townspeople have always been proud of it and been generous in their praise of its appearance and its playing. The crowning event of a year of hard work on the part of the members and its leader, Mr. Bick- ford, who has devoted hours of his time to it, was the trip to Quincy to enter the state competition of high and junior high bands. The Turners Falls Band was entered in class B which included schools of from 500 to 1000 enrollment and it won high honors in its class. Perhaps the most en- joyable part of the day for the band members was their attendance at the “Pop” Concert in the evening at Symphony Hall where their presence was noted at the bottom of the program. Here the band had the opportunity of hearing some of the finer music played by the Boston Symphony, one of the best symphony orchestras in the United States. The band added a great deal of martial air and color to the Field Day exhibition of military maneuvers at Unity Park, which is an annual event. Its last public appearance was in a joint con- cert with the Turners Falls Military Band in the first open air concert of the year. Without our band and Mr. Bickford, the school would indeed be lacking one of its finest activ- ities. Although this year’s orchestra has not been as large as in the past, it has been none the less successful, and under the capable leadership of Mr. Bickford it has been a great asset to the school. Many hours have been spent in rehearsal by the students and many more by Mr. Bickford in writing- music to help the school financially. Much of the fine music which has been played by the orchestra could not have been presented if the school had had to bear the expense of buying orchestrations for the many different numbers for which he has prepared manuscripts. Of course, the outstanding musical event of the year is the combined orchestra and glee club concert. This event was, as usual, a great success, and although it was not particularly well sup- ported by students or public, the standard of music was at its usual high level and both organiza- tions received considerable praise for their work. The glee club also deserves a great deal of praise for the work which they have to put in to make this concert a success. Other functions of the orchestra have been to play for the Senior Play, Prize Speaking, and as- sembly programs. Orchestra and Glee Club are two of the most outstanding extra-curricula activ- ities in the school and the popularity of the Glee Club in particular is shown by the unusually large number of those participating. 19 3 5 fifty-three TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL G CO ft cO ft, O § ft ft ft m O 4 ffi ac u .S Z w P5 CO ft O w ft ft G D s aj W W o ft CO £ .s o c3 m i2 G o3 iS G o I 6 w oT 5 3 3 CQ d x - o3 bjO £ o3 £ T3 W .2f s a PL| w � rc: 3 0) H o I o CO G pq £ 1 S O PC � U Ph o3 O of PC • o 5 zn u T3 03 -S o .2 w CO ' £ ctf o o D .

The chief topic of discussion is pre-cancelled stamps. Some considera- tion has been given to “first day covers”. The club has also sent an order to Washington for some commemorative and Farley stamps.

Inspired b.y the hope of a trip to Boston to compete for the championship of Massachusetts, the Braves scalped opponents from up and down the valley almost at will. They were featured by a strong pitching staff and a very hard hitting team. They won many games by hitting hard in the ninth inning. They were led by Capt.

Beginning the season with one veteran the Powertowners opened with a fast, hard working team, but cbuld not quite reach the peak it hoped for. It was hindered by practicing in a cold Hibernian Hall and playing its games under too crowd- ed conditions. The team was eliminated in the first game at the M. S. C. Tournament by Easthampton, and broke even in its two games series with Greenfield. Nearly the whole of this team will greet Coach Lorden when basketball opens in December.

Rita Conway has a way For which any girl would pay Her weight in gold, if she could be Like Rita, always full of glee. Now “Freddy” Rosberry is the boy Who can turn sorrow into joy With his witty tongue and merry air That even girls can bear. “Katz” Delpha makes lots of noise And is she famous with the boys ! ! Her laughter always fills the room And drives away all gloom. When Gustave Milkey begins to talk Everyone else might as well go for a walk, For Gustave likes to ramble on Until he forgets what he began on. Now Gertrude McCarthy is a quiet lass When surrounded by a noisy mass But never fret, for whatever she’ll do Gert McCarthy will always come through. Our Rita Sullivan possesses a laugh Which I like even better than math Which is going some don’t you see? Because math certainly has got me. “Baldy” Pevere is an athlete renowned When he is on the playing ground For with his generous bag of stunts He causes opponents plenty of grunts. Now Ellen Milkey just can’t wait Until that next Saturday night date For that’s the day that Fred comes home Once more the good old town to roam. Now Gordon Higinbotham is not the one Who won the one-mile distance run But many a night he has walked to Millers And certainly not to see the “fellers”. When Agnes Kallins walks home from school We find her almost always as a rule Strutting beside her football man Whose name is certainly not “Fran”. Archie Daignault does play ball Down at old St. Mary’s hall But better still he likes to swim For it makes him full of vigor and vim. There is a group of senior girls Who put the study period in a whirl But Mr. Lorden never gets tough Though he certainly has stood enough. Howard Zimmerman is a quiet lad Although you’ll never find him sad And with his mighty pitching arm He’ll cause opponents much alarm. Everyone loves Irene Pine She’s the one girl in every nine Who has such a cheery smile That would make any boy walk a mile. Now Irving Krainson does keep chickens And do those chickens raise the dickens ! Every morning at quarter to eight You’ll see Irving closing their gate. Have you heard about Sara Burnham? She goes out with a Greenfield milkman, But he drives a truck instead of a horse And ’tis rumored his first name is Horace. “Wilbur” Patterson walks the floor When he is working in Koch’s store But ask him “What’s the price?” And he’ll say, “Do you want it sliced?” Barbara Harlow spends most of her time Pondering over the “Netop” lines Barbara sure has plenty of pluck And we all certainly wish her luck. Edward Sojka performs on the cinder And one day he went through a “winder” “Ed” always gives us all a thrill No wonder! He practices on “Rabbit Hill”. “Bill” Sears must collect screws, Or maybe he likes them to chew, For at his desk they’re always missing And someone else has to take the razzing. When Irving Blassberg has the floor He talks and talks, and talks some more Only pausing to chew his gum Beating Mr. Lorden, which is going some. 19 3 5 sixty-seven TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Now you all know our stylish “Honey” Who need not worry about money For with her merry line and pleasing charm She’ll get by in any old barn. Lincoln Daly has black wavy hair Which even among girls is very rare, And whenever Lincoln does walk by Many a girl heaves a great sigh. Sabina Ostroski is tall and sweet And does she toss a basket neat ! Just when the game is on the brink Sabina gets the ball and makes it sink. Now “Buddy Mac” is full of fun And never hesitates to pun For Bud thinks life is a great old game And never thinks about the rain. “Abbie” Fish lives up that way You know, where everyone pitches hay, But “Abbie” doesn’t mind a bit Cause with all the girls he makes a hit. “Charlie” Tuttle is not very tall But can he sock a tennis ball ! ! And if he only had his way He’d play, and play, and play all day. “Johnie” Eastman drives a car But I doubt if it gets him very far Because “Johnie” has a “Buick” make And boy, it gives him many a shake ! Celina St. Germain rides up the street Every afternoon to meet I wonder who but never mind Celina always comes on time! Donald Foote, so we hear Can show you how to grow a beard, Someday he will get ahead Growing hair on your bald head. — Helen Gewehr ■ — Rita Conway SONNET ON POLITICS i Says Senator Duff the Publierat, “We promise you this and we promise you that. We’ll give you a great big bonus, If only you’ll vote for us.” “It’s a fake,” says Judge McNuff the Demidunk “Senator Duff is all the bunk. If you don’t vote for me Very sorry will you be.” So they argue and fight and spit and bite. While the public waits in vain j for a cooling rain That will wash away their troubles, And leave only a memory of fleeting bubbles. — Irving Krainson 4 | sixty-eight 19 3 5 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL m Quips and Cranks Uih M Teacher: “Alfred, come here and give me what you have in your mouth.” Alfred C.: “I’d like to. It’s a toothache.” Abbie: “Time me around the track, Coach?” Coach Lorden: “Sure. Wait till I get my calendar.” “High school boys do many things,” said the prin- cipal, “that are annoying but harmless. But the prac- tice of raiding melon patches must stop. That is plain, low-down stealing.” A boy in the back seat rose suddenly, snapped his fingers, and then sat down again in confusion. “Daigneault,” the principal thundered, “what do you mean, snapping your fingers when I speak of melon stealing?” “I just remembered, Mr. Burke,” said Daigneault, “where I left my knife.” Coach Lorden: “Why didn’t you turn out for track practice yesterday?” Merritt: “Well, Coach, I couldn’t; I had a date.” Coach Lorden: “And just where did you get the idea that a date gives you the right to cut practice?” Merritt: “Well, a miss is as good as a mile.” “Now Bud,” said Miss Teed, “can you describe the meaning of nonsense?” “Yes, M’am,” said Bud promptly. “An elephant hanging over a cliff with its tail tied to a daisy.” Little Mary getting her first sight of a peacock. “Look quick auntie, one of your chickens is in bloom.” Customer: Bring me a grapefruit. Waiter: With or without, sir? Customer: With or without what? Waiter: Windshield, sir. I go to the theatre to be amused. I don’t want to go in optomistically and come out misty optically. A. Ritchotte: Do you do repairing here? Garage Man: Yes, but we don’t do manufacturing ' . Fortune Teller (to John Eastman) : I warn you, a dark man is about to cross your path. J. Eastman: Better warn the dark man. R. Girard: I understand the climate of Chicago is very warm. F. Bitzer: Impossible, silly. That’s where frozen meat comes from. Judge: Will you waive your rights to appeal? Husband: Don’t let her wave any more rights, Judge. That’s how I got this black eye. Marion: Where’s Helen Stratton this afternoon? Pearl K. : If she knows as much about canoes as she thinks she does, she’s out canoeing, but if she doesn’t know any more about it than I think she does, she’s swimming. Hostess: Dear me, the conversation is flagging ter- ribly. What can we do to amuse these people? Host: I don’t know, I’m sure, unless we go into the other room for a while to give them a chance to talk about us. A. Courtemarche : What would you do if you saw a bear? F. Perkins: I’d climb a tree. A. Courtemarche: But don’t you know bears climb trees? F. Perkins: Yes, but my tree would shake too hard. Young wife at the telephone: “Butchei - , send me a pound of steak and a half pint of gravy.” In a new hat: “I’ll give you thirty shillings for that pup.” Can’t be done, sir. That pup belongs to my wife and she’d sob ’er ’art out, but I tell yer what — spring another ten bob an’ let ’er sob!” m TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Soph: “Why is a crack in a chair bottom like a traffic policeman?” Sophess: “I couldn’t say.” Soph: “They’ll both pinch you if you don’t park right.” “What’s happened to your wife to make her lose so much weight?” “She was visiting her architect brother who de- signs those new fangled trains and he had her stream- lined.” So to Speak: “No, Henry, I don’t think a manicur- ist should marry a dentist.” “And why not?” “If we fought, it would be tooth and nail.” “What animal lives on the least food?” said father. “The moth,” said Charlie. “It eats nothing but holes.” Without Delay: The sleight-of-hand performance was not going very well. “Can any lady or gentleman lend me an egg?” asked the conjurer coming down to the footlights. “If we’d ’ad one,” shouted a man in the audience, “you’d have it before this.” “Boo hoo,” sobbed Fred, “my collie is dead.” “Shucks,” said Billy. “My grandmother has been dead a week. You don’t catch me crying.” “Yes,” said Fred, “but you didn’t raise your grand- mother from a pup.” Sunk: Two old settlers, confirmed batchelors, sat in the backwoods. The conversation drifted from poli- tics and finally got around to cooking. “I got one o’ them cookery books once, but I never could do nothing with it.” “Too much fancy work in it, eh?” “You’ve said it! Every one o’ them i - ecipes began the same way: ‘Take a clean dish — ’ and that settled me.” “Mamma,” said Johnny, “Santa Claus may be gen- erous, but he is an awful wicked man.” “Why, Johnny. What makes you think so?” said his mother. “Well, he came into my room last night and stubbed his toe against the chair and you just ought to have heard him swear.” She: 0, you did splendidly with the wallpaper, but what are those funny lumps? He: Good heavens, I forgot to take down the pic- tures! Judge: You’ve stolen no chickens? Sam: No, sah. Judge: No geese? Sam: No, sah. Judge: Any turkeys? Sam: No, sah. Judge: Discharged. Sam: Boss, I sure was skeared you ail’d say ducks. seventy 193 5 Autographs Autographs Advertising Section (Elje S ' inti or (Class of (turners iFalls Itjigh School take this opportunity to cxteub its appreciation to tlte afrtiertizers for their excellent co-operation in making this hook possible.
