It is ntnv a proud, stately four-year-old ship, with its captain and crew — which consisted of fine, assorted boys and girls. It was in our power to make it a ])irate ship, a cattle junk, pcrha])S, or a stream- lined model of the very finest tyj e. And now it has come into port (not Gill navy yard) after traveling through choppy waters, in storm and in calm. Primarily, there were a hundred odd of extra-fine, hand-picked classmen who entered the portals as freshmen. Some gave up. we reflect with sadness, because they received severe cases of sunburn, caused, thev say. by con- stand exposure tJ the sunny smiles of seniors. Experienced students volunteered to take on the burdens left by the vacancies — it is true that they were efficient because they had been used to playing chaperone to Holstein cows back home. Our princijxal pilot was our esteemed i Ir. Purke. Miss Shea, our class teacher, and Aliss Ayer w ' ere guiding constellations. In her asso- ciation with the Netop, Aliss Ayer may yet be successful in finding the famous missing debs. Fellow sufferers, do you recall that memorable year of ' 32 when you heard in back and front of you, Aren’t they cute?” Being frosh gave some of us a grouch against the solar system and the most thrilling thing to be remembered and to tell future posterity was the tinkling bell of dismissal. They told us, “You’ll never get out of here ! We were frightened to death — visions of license plates on our backs — striped suits — and pick and shovels danced before our eyes. The thought that we might become reconciled to staying in for life was rather comforting. Of course, everyone imposed upon us. There were numerous requests like, Hey, gotta pen- cil?” This was introduction number one — to art. Then we were initiated into the order of books — which made us feel like absent-minded professors robbing libraries. There was a deter- mination to specialize highly in brain work. There were numerous attempts to feed the pencil gas in an effort to make it do something besides looking so innocent. The experimenters suc- ceeded only in making themselves fast — not in a scholarly way. As usual, some of our fathers got poor marks in our arithmetic, and then we realized that an X is not something which you put on the end of a letter — just to give an ornamental effect, you know. As sophomores, we cut quite a dash. They havent’ yet recuperated from our high-pressure methods of getting around. ’e rushed downstairs without accpiiring the feeling that we were committing the outrage of the century. Latin verbs were put into our teeth, and we pulled at the rest of the sentence — banging our heads quite often, at that — just a friendly little game of tug-o’-war, don’t you know? Xow, as seniors, we might still make freshmen feel like fleas in a wild-animal’s circus. With them, it might be a question of to do or not to do — whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer our smirks or to throw verbal epitaphs at us and call it quits. M’ith smug satisfaction we can say everything ended in a draw. Perhaps the high-light of this year was the front door. Under- graduates. you will be disappointed. Y’e. too, expected to find Bluebeard’s wives on the other side. And now our famed athletics ! Fifty years from now, the spicy, tender, fragrant thought of the ’36 football season will help us to take castor oil like nice little children and with a request for more. W ' hen our formidable opponents caught a glimpse of our ’36 team, they threw up their crocheting and said, What’s the use ?” They knew that the football trophy was hooked, haltered, staked out, bitted, and stamped, ready to grace Turners High. ' ell, this famous team annihilated all comers, including several assorted schools. The j)layers were led by Captain Taber and Company — each doing his best to make of his host an efficient. all-American crocpiet player. There was Freeland Perkins of football fame — weight 180 with his summer hair-cut. Walter Bakula played a clever, cool game, aided by his acting as baton-waver for the famed vir- tuosos. “Cannon Novak, the dynamo, and John Kulis, of the reenforced concrete physique, are veteran players, and are due for a bonus. There were Jack Shields and Henry Dranzek, who knew all the trick plays, in the bag and held a few miscellaneous ones in their sleeves which they saved for emergencies. Gerald Trudel was always seen hugging that ball like a piece of fudge, firmly but tenderly, of course. ' I ' hen again, Trudel, a genial Ham,” who says, I yam what I 3 ’am ...” (and we don’t doubt it), became class president. He was seen chewing peanuts while giving his inaugural address. 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HI G H S C H 0 O L Page 37 Richard Holbrook, our vice-president and cheerful cheerleader, gave prestige to our class. Erma Alvord, our secretary deluxe — used to take class notes — but never wrote any. Beatrice Rit- chotte expertly handled our finances and maybe some of our fiances. With our organization came our class colors, green and white, which may or may not have been significant. But, ’tis said, any man would rather be in the green, than in the red. Of basketball, we’ll nothing mention, for fear we’d get a detention. Enemies said that as basketball players, we were pretty good sailors on Sawmill Brook. But really, the team was fine and made sundry teams wish that all of our Turners men could get positions as residing gover- nors of Mounts Eiji and Vesuvius. And now, before taking medicine for our rheumatic pains, we gaze back fondly over the years and the freshman social looms out brightly. We might be old towards the year 2000 and have hazy recollections of a freshman barn dance where beans were served — which might be wrong — but the general idea will be correct. Here we were taught the first principles of social ethics and the rudiments of waltzing were pounded into hollow feet. If dancing began to look like one of this world’s impossibilities, there were instructors who demonstrated the art of fall- ing with speed and dignity — a la clothing store dummies. Of course, feet played a big part at the dance. Some pedal extremities were all of two acres, (not quite as large as the floor). Twice around these feet, which is a conservative estimate, constituted a fair encore. W ’e now give the ice cream flrst prize for making the biggest hit — said prize being honorable mention. The sophomore social, as a coming-out party, brought us into the ancient and honorable order of upper classmen. Now, the outcome of that coming-out party was delightful — at last ! W e could look upon the freshmen as someone whom we once saw selling shoestrings. The junior prom was the beautiful occasion of which the grammar school pupil dreams and at which the freshman was among those absent. The magic work of Miss Des Ormeaux and her assistants transformed the ballroom into soniething which will be all some of us will ever see of Eden. Dancing was extra-smooth, due to numerous bouts with the dresser. Some owed it to tugging bureaus around for months previous. In the solar system of Turners High there are several starlets — the participants in the senior play. To Miss Teed goes one of our cherished gardenias for her part in directing the play. To the players we give gardenia buds — very proper — because both are just beginning their careers. As Josephine March in “Little Women,’’ Erma Alvord was supreme. The dramatic ability of Dagny Hofif, made us, when we were weeping, try to cough. Rita LaPalm, was, to woes, a balm. Edith Eish was the colorful tornado, at whose escapades we always said, “Oh! Edith Klaiber, was the mother of the girls — but she’s not old, she has curls! Henrietta Golaszewski, the cook, handy with the soap — whose cooking was something to write home about, (we hope!) W’illard Garrand was the snappy dresser and honorable professor. As an ace of hearts, we’d need a couple of charts to show the temperature of Charles Bickford’s afifections for the March family. Edward Kondrat got what he was looking for, (he didn’t need any more). Bernard Piskor aided the “little women in bringing Hollywood a little nearer home. And they all did it, they say, without going in for reducing. Then was inaugurated by the ingenious class of ’36, the Netop amateur night. Remember? All right! All right! All right! W’e had a Major Bowes — he was the lad who neither played the fiddle nor parted his hair in the middle. The Shebell brothers, cowboys a la mode, took first prize the first night. Then Josephy Krowczyk, the accordian-playing senor, was made five dol- lars richer by stealing the show and taking it home. Another class of distant date may go us one better and put on a burlesque show. Prize speaking was an important affair of the junior year. Mary Treml, Charles Bickford, and Doris Cadran were triumphant. The experience aided all in living (scr)appily ever after. Classmen, when we are gone we’ll miss the fellowship of our teachers, but then, they’ll miss US after we are gone. Absence will make ther hearts grow fonder — of the new building perhaps. Then we can get together and have a lovely three-months conversation on the times before we knew ' we could be fired and hired with machine-gun rapidity. The world will scatter us far and wide, even as far south as the South End — but we’ll come back — and make a hit as fine old pieces of antiques — with the freshmen ! Page 38 TURNERS FAI. ES HIGH SCHOOL 1 9 3G CLASS PROPHECY Scene — Hotel Lobby — Lobby is empty except for six over-stufl ' ed cbairs and f)ne desk clerk, Mr. Harry Woodin, who leans sleeping on the counter. Mr. Gerald Trudel, class president and millionaire, inventor of Trudel’s Phosphorescent Thumb Cap for night bumming enters from left, and pounds on desk, (ilerk does not budge. Mr. Trudel now steps back from the desk and taking a lusty breath sends forth one of the famous Trudel gastronomical explosions. Woodin awakes with a start and yells. Woodin — Ham ! Trudel — Flash! Say how’s tricks? How ' many of the good old class of 1936 have registered? Woodin (running finger down register) — I ' ve got G-Man Holbrook here as house detect- ive. You know he’s the one who caught Charles Fiddle Strings” Bickford — Public Enemy No. 32. The four bridal suites on the front are occupied by the girls whom we used to know” as Doris Cadran, Rita LaPalm, Henrietta Golasew ' ski and Helen Reed, and Edith Klaiber, who just w”on on an Irish Sw”eepstake ticket on the horse Clar- ence.” is throwing a cocktail party in her penthouse up on the roof. Trudel — I noticed those murals by the entrance as I came in were done by Barbara Browning, Erances Lipinski, and Anna Tourles. Woodin — Sure, there’s a lot of 36 ' s around here. I get my ice from Bakula and Company. The Shebell Brothers, built the hotel, and Walter Sojka sells me all the groceries. If you want to see a bunch of the old class just go dowm to our night club this evening. There’s a good floor show tonight, Bertrand’s Burlescjue, with such beauties as Bar- bette Davis, Erances Bordeaux, Melanise Care, and Helene Humphrey. Elmer Merritt, Warren Partenheimer, Arnold Maddern and Michael Monkiewicz are first-class chorus boys with this troupe. Music is furnished by Brighty’s Red Hot Rhythm Boys, with Bernard Neipp, Bernard Horrigan, E. Osowski, Charles Wojtaiew ' icz, and Henry Jalicki. Special singing is done by those famous crooners, Howard Berkly Shea, and Robert Timothy Foley. Trudel — Well how about the eats in this place? Woodin — Oh, my hostess, Eleanor Dolan, together with Head Waiter Dominque Petrin, Singing Waiter Wild Bill Nagle, and Bouncer Willard Garrand, handle the situation well. There are two acts that are the talk of the town, first Perkins and LaBow ' en, adagio dancers and Irene Prondecki and Mae Rivet, sentimental songbirds, accom- panied by Mary Treml at the piano. (Telephone rings). At your service madam. Yes ma’am — a table for two — right away, (hangs up). That was Erma Stewart, the f 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 39 famous Broadway actress. She’s being interviewed by Donald Taber, city editor of the Gill Gazette. Trudel — What’s the big racket on the roof, Flash? Woodin — That’s no racket that’s the Wattles W’onder Autogyro line which operates be- tween here, Montague Center and Bernardston road. Henry Molongoski and Edward Noga are the pilots, Frank Zak the mechanic, and Helen Bugai, Pearl Girard and Edith Ostrowski are hostesses. What a line. John Rutkoski is the best doorman in town and Teddy Ostroski is the hottest boilerman in these parts. Chester Makofsky, Whitney and Stanley Kurkulonius, my elevator boys can make it from the basement to the pent- house in 30 seconds flat. Trudel — The class of 1936 is certainly well represented here. (Glances down at register). I see Admiral Joseph Dlugosz is up in suite C6. Too bad Herbert Blanchard, the first- class gob couldn’t come, but I hear he’s locked up in the brig for licking the glue off of all Sophie Bogusz’s and Clare Stebbins’ rare stamps. Going out to see John Kulis, Anthony Novak, and Edward Guilbault play with Edward Kondrat’s “Globe Trotters’’ team at Henry Dranzek’s Cream Top Bowl? Woodin — My chambermaid team of Anna Pervere, Rose Yukl, Jennie Skryzpek are the stars who have succeeded in capturing the city girls’ basketball title. Dagny Hoff has proven to be the best general manager I ever had. Together with Rita Coogan and Mildred Zayac she has put my hotel on a paying basis. The entire 88th floor is re- served for Miss Margaret LaFrance’s Elite Boys’ Boarding School. A teaching staff of Anna Krejamas, Doris Corbiere, and Clara Clark takes care of the pupils among whom a few are Jack Shields, Jacob Greenspan, Raymond Pine, and Eugene Dauphi- nais. Edith Fish, mayor of Gill is slated to be the first speaker of the evening. She will arrive soon with her Commissioner of Cosmetics, Bernice Patterson, and her Commis- sioner of Beauty Sleep, Beatrice Ritchotte. Trudel — What ever became of my old girl-friend, Anna Kallins? Woodin — She runs a dress shop just around the corner. Myrtle Eddy, Dorothy Hoyle, and Gertrude Dresser, Elizabeth Wheeler, Stacia Piskor, and Alice Carney are her superior models. Sophie Gozeski and Adele Grimard are employed in the same establishment as window dressers. Tillie Cislo is chief buyer for the dress shop. Dr. Piskor’s Wonder Show is due in town today and he lists Raymond Fugere, Paul Fournier, Charles Milowski and Edwin Neveu as first-class freaks. Stanislaus Sojka and Raymond Pas- sino are billed as Siamese Twins. Roland Perry and Chester Tela are employed as clowns by Dr. Piskor. Trudel — Well, who would have thunk it. The class of ’36 sure has done itself noble. 10 TUl NHHS FAI.LS II I (1 II SCHOOL 1 0 :i () WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1936 This, our last will and testaincMit, The class of l!).3(i doth make, And if you’ve hcen a friend to us We ' ll surely ftive you a break. To Miss Teed we leave the new auditorium so that she may have all the tlress reheai’sals she wants for next year’s Senior Play. To the present sophomores we leave the new syni in which they may hold their ])rom. In order that he may have a room in which to train the recruits for the hand we leave Mr. Bick- ford the tool shed in hack of the school. The passageway between the two buildings we leave to Mr. Sheti ' so that he will not have to worry about catching laryngitis every time it rains. To Harry Maddern we leave the thought that next year he will have peace every morning before school because Theresa will not he here to bother him. We feel that Charles Molongoski cannot get around quickly enough so we leave him “Butch” Brighty’s stride. To make it easier for her to induce “Corky” to go to the prom with her, we leave Clara Eddy, Hen- rietta’s hair, Helene Humphrey’s dancing, and Helen Reed’s style. We leave the students from down street an escu- lator which we feel sure will eliminate that terrible hill climbing. Financial conditions do not jiermit us to leave Mr. Walz a new car, so we leave him a muffler and a large can of paint which will serve the purpose. F ' or Miss . yer’s sake, we are having a sj ecial course in “Using One’s Imagination” installed for all juniors, and hope that by the time they are sen- iors they will have accpiired that most lacking quality. “Mel” Care’s and Barbette Davis’ dancing we leave to the class of 1940 so that the freshmen teach- ers will not have to teach the kiddies how to “trip the light fantastic.” With our class out of the way we leave Norma Grogan a clear field with “Boh.” In order that she may keep her sewing machines in good working condition, we leave Miss Dolan a robot who will always he on hand to repair the broken parts. To the incoming domestic science class, we leave, as usual, another hungry football s(|uad to do justice to their haiKpiet. To Miss Packard we leave a set of Victor records to do all of her dictating with and thus save her lots of trouble. We leave Mr. Wrightson a set of tin soldiers with which he may exi lain the dilferent sections of the Roman army. Every year Mr. Galvin has a job on his hands to exi)lain the theory of sound to the freshmen, so we leave him the pleasure of doing that all over again next year. Because she can never find Mr. Burke when he is wanted on the telephone, we leave Bernice Grogan a television set so that she will know just where to find him. We are leaving Donald Wattles’ hair-cut to Sidney Waldron. When we informed Donald of this he wept and pleaded, “Please let me keep it until after Graduation.” In order that the bus driver may not feel too sad about the loss of his crooners, we leave the football scpiad ten boxes of bird seed and thus hope the rest of the team will cultivate voices. We had intended to leave Elinore Dolan’s gum- chewing to Phyllis Grieshach, but on the recpiest of all the teachers, we have decided to prevent the fur- ther spread of this disease. To Mr. Lorden we leave the hook, “How to Draw in Nine Sinq)le Lessons.” We feel this will help him to make bigger and better diagrams. And now, last hut not least, we leave to all the students and the faculty the joy they will surely re- ceive from the new addition to our school. It is almost all over now We say “good-bye” with tears. And ho])e our gifts you’ll cherish 4 ' hro’ all the coming years. Edith Klaiher 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 41 CLASS ODE From off our calendar of life, Tonight we tear another sheet. Four happy years comprise this page ; To our regre t they’re now complete. But not forgotten is this leaf Which we reluctantly displace, For our love for Turners High Is a love that time cannot erase As we move on to higher goals A backward glance we’ll ever cast, And give the credit to Turners High For the difficult barriers we have pass’d.

CHARLES BICKFORD, Director 19 3 6 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 45 Musical Organizations A glance at the Glee Club Concert Program of 1926 (which incidentally, we believe to be the year IMr. Burke became the Principal at this school) shows us that in that year there were forty students in the Glee Club. The orchestra numbered about thirteen. Today there are one hundred and fifty in the Glee Club and fifty in the band and orchestra. This increase and in addition the organization of the band prove that these activities must be worthwhile. Worthwhile ? We’ll say they are ! How could we get along without our band? Their presence at the football games is an inspiration to all the team. On Thanksgiving Day Mr. Bickford usually has his “musicleers” form letters and go through a special drill. By the way, we almost forgot to men- tion, Mr. Bickford was the man who formed the high school band. This March, the band was again invited to play a concert at the Massachusetts State Tournament. At Christmas time and Easter, baskets of food were given away to the winners of the raffle, sponsored by the band. This June at the Field Day the band will furnish a major part of the entertainment. The orchestra played at the Senior Play, Junior Prize Speaking and Graduation and Class Day. Their excellent cooperation in the Minstrel Show has helped to place this event on our school calendar as an annual affair. It also helps to brighten up many assemblies. The Glee Club gave a splendid performance — one which was a credit to both the boys and girls and to their excellent director. W ' e also thank the ' orchestra. Next year all these organizations will suffer the loss of several of their fine workers. We do not, however, believe that this means the ruination of these activities. We see no reason why, with the addition of more and more human material each year, the band, orchestra and glee club should ever cease being a valuable asset to the school. Pngo 4() 19 36 Tl ' HXHHS FAI.LS II I (’. H SCHOOL COMMERCIAL CLUB 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 47 Commercial Club First of all, we sta rted out on the new members, as most clubs usually do. They were initiated in groups on specific evenings. The first group was composed of those who were honor students, and I must say it’s a lucky thing for some of us, that they didn’t have that ruling last year, or we never would have been initiated into that honorable society. The initiation consisted of many games, which had forfeits, and naturally the joiners were always wrong, and so they had to pay their respective penalties. We have quite a few new members so the ideas for further fun, will ' probably be many. The next little gathering we had, was attending the Supreme Court in Greenfield. About thirty members were present. We rode over in a hired bus and as it was the day before the flood created for us a holiday, you can imagine how our fingers ached from hanging onto the seats, while crossing the renowned Riverside bridge. Not a murmur was heard, but when we were across, you can imagine the war-hoops that went ringing through the air. Not a quiet moment followed all the rest of the way. We had for chaperons, Miss Packard, our adviser. Miss Ayer, Miss Lind- say, Miss Little and Miss Parsons. The case was very dull, for the only witnesses were men from the sticks and they kept giving conflicting testimony. On the side, we were kept busy by an entertaining door-keeper, who was a very engaging young fellow. (Don’t be jealous, he just thought he was young.) Then came our “Valentine Dance.’’ What a grand afifair that was ! We all had more fun, and it was about the first dance that we were allowed to take outsiders to, so that made it doubly important. Half the students went just to see who was taking whom, but of course that was their privilege. The Musical Bargerons played and the music was very good. Anyway, a good time was had by all, I hope. 1 1st Row:— I. Proiulecki, I). Hod ' , R. Solomon, E. Fish, R. Milkcy, E. Alvord, E. Klaiber, M. Stotz. 2nd Row: — IE (k)og;in, N.

Its members compose the staffs of these two publications. This year the club has increased its membership and widened its activities. Two Netop Amateur Nights were successfully conducted. An eight- page rotogravure section, the Roto Review, was offered to all Netop sub- scribers who wished it. A special supplement. The Freshman Handbook, was issued early in the year for the benefit of the class of 1939. On April first the Netop produced its annual funny edition in the form of an eight- page tabloid on green paper. Besides belonging to the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications, the Netop this year joined the National Scholastic Press Associ- ation, and from this group received an Honor Rating. More underclassmen were taken into the club than ever before. This was done in the hope that the staffs would be more experienced in the years to come. With the knowledge obtained this year by sophomores and juniors the Netop and Year Book are assured of competent staffs for the coming year.

Meg and Beth, played hy Rita LaPalm and Dagny Hofl’, who were devoted sisters, were preparing the home for the ar rival of Mrs. Marsh, played hy Edith Klaiher. It was the Christmas season and .To and Amy, Erma Alvord and Edith Fish, were discussing practical gifts for Mrs. March, otherwise known as Marmec. Marmee entered in her usual happy mood. She told the girls of a poor woman who was in need of food and fuel. They immediately showed their charitable characters and gave their Christmas dinner to the ])oor woman. Their generosity was rewarded hy unusual delicacies donated by Mr. Lawrence, played hy Bernard Piskor, who was noted as a “cross old man” but who in reality had a heart of gold. .lo, the vivacious girl of the family, made an accpiaintance with Larrie, (Charles Bickford), who was to become a great friend. One day Mrs. March received a letter from her husband who was ill at Washington. The girls made sascrifices and .lo had her hair cut to help her mother gain money enough to go. They borrowed money from Aunt March, (Clara (dark), who was an old lady with a cross disposition. Hannah, (Henrietta Gola- zewski) jiromised to care for the girls during Marmee’s absence. However, while Marmee was away Beth, a frail child was taken ill and never fully recovered. Jo worked hard and wrote for a magazine to earn money to take Beth away to a warmer climate. Larrie cheered her and he went everyday to visit Amy, the youngest child, who was staying with Aunt March. When father returned he hardly recognized his girls, they were so grown up. Meg, the oldest had fallen in love with Earrie’s tutor, John Brook (Edward Kondrat) who had helped the family during Mr. March’s illness. Beth, the sweet little home-maker, had grown thin and pale, while Jo, who called herself the father of the family, had been teaching in a private home, and Amy had become intensely interested in Art. Aunt March was going to Ehirope and she wanted Amy to accompany her. While they were there, Larrie, who had been terribly disappointed because .lo refused to love him, met Amy and they were married. Meg had previously married Mr. Brook and was absorbed in her household duties in her patient under- standing way. Hannah, a very kind and helpful woman who had always nursed the girls aided her in household problems. When Amy and Larrie returned, Jo, the vivacious and excellent example of womanhood, had chosen as her life partner. Professor Bhaer, (Willard Garrand), who loved her dearly. Tender Marmee’s wish was gratified when she saw her daughters settled down in their owm homes. Mr. Lawrence was happy that one of the girls wms his granddaughter, and Hannah enjoyed it as though she were to start life over again. if- 1 GERMAN CLUB � fi 1st Row: — C. Carme, D. Winch, R.

The German Club, now receiving congratulations on its second birthday, look a new lease on life this year and celebrated this momentous anniversary with several interesting and instructive meetings. The faculty adviser, Mr. Walz, introduced a new form of amusement called “German Beano which enjoyed popularity at every meeting. This was only one of many instructive and at the same time amusing, features inaugurated by our popular leader. The officers for this year were as follows: Donald Wattles, president; Dorothy W ' inch, vice-president; Theresa Bowen, treasurer; Stephen Siteman, secretary. T U H N K H S F A I.

The meetings have been conducted in true French style by President, Charles Bickford. The other officers are Paul Shumway, vice-president, Erma Alvord, secretary, and Rosalie Beaubien, treasurer. Those who have taken French for one year are eligible to join. The initiation of new members has always provided great amusement for the club and this year was no exception. French songs, poems, gymnastics, jokes and music were part of this special meeting. Beano has proved to be an excellent game to test the knowledge of French numbers both in class and during the afternoon gatherings. W ' e hope that the Cercle Francais may have as many more successful years as 1935-36 has been. 1 9 3 G TURNER S F A EES HI G H S C H O O E Page 53 1st Row: — V. Stebbins, C. Stebbins, S. Rogusz, E.

The Stamp Club has been one of the most active clubs in the school. This organization under Sophie Bogusz as president, Clare Stebbins as secretary, and Mr. Lorden as adviser has greatly increased this year in popularity and membership. It is the object of the club to further our interest in philately by short lectures by the members and to enlarge our collection by exchang- ing stamps. Informal meetings have been held about twice a month in the high school from seven to nine o’clock. Mr. Lorden has helped and inspired many to start and improve their collection. The world-wide hobby of philately has found a permanent place in the Turners Falls High School. Page 54 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL 19 36 CHESS CLUB 1st Row: — I). HazeUon, G. Trudcl, H. Sears, F.

One of the newest and most active clubs of our high school was started in January of this year. Since several of the students seemed interested in forming such an organization, Warren Brighty and Stephen Siteman ap- proached Principal Burke and received his permission to attempt such a ven- ture. Mr. Walz was found to play chess, and so was appointed faculty adviser. Membership was, from the start, quite large, when one stops to consider the intracacies of the game. The club met almost every week, usually on Thursday nights in the Drawing Room. A few meetings w ' ere held at priv- ate homes. Apparently each member enjoyed himself thoroughly, for most of them came quite regularly. But two officers were officially elected, Harold Sears as Official Score- keeper, and iVIr. Walz as Sergeant-at-Arms. Upon Warren Brighty fell the responsibility for calling meetings. Toward the end of the year, girls began to show a marked interest in the club, and, by next year, may have a sizeable representation in its ranks. r ■- 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 55 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL BAND , Mr. Charles Bickford, Director .Miss Rita LaPalm, Drum Major CHEER LEADERS Across: — R.

With several new players rounding out surpris- ingly well, and all the veterans playing their usual good brand of ball, Athol, Orange twice. Commerce, Holyoke, Brattleboro, Adams and Greenfield were taken over in rapid succession. Hard-fought games were dropped to Com- merce, Brattleboro and Classical before the Indians hit their stride. As the Year Book goes to press, eight games have been won against three losses. Only Novak, Guilbault, Merritt, Kulis and Woodin will be lost by gradu- ation leaving a combine in 1937 that should equal this year ' s in teamwork and ability. w y y y y y y y y 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 61 BASKETBALL This year ' s basketball season looks to be a dismal failure from a view- point of wins and losses, but those who followed the team throughout tLe schedule know that the twelve losses against five wins include some hard- fought, close scored contests which might have been won had Mr. Lorden and his team had the proper facilities with which to work. Some consolation was derived by the student body from the fact that the Greenfield series resulted in an even split, although the team lost to a more experienced West Springfield team at the Massachusetts State College Tournament. With a new gym at his disposal in the future, Mr. Lorden will undoubt- edly turn out some championship teams in coming years. — (★) — TENNIS The tennis team, by far one of the best ever to represent our school, un- der Coach Walz, undertook a strenuous schedule consisting of home and home games with Athol, Orange, Tech, Classical, Deerfield Academy, Easthampton, Northampton, Greenfield and Holyoke. With Captain R. Foley, W. Garrand and D. Taber as a nucleus of veterans, a large percentage of games was won, making a worthy mark for future teams to shoot at. — — TRACK Although track is one of the less emphasized sports here at Turners Falls High it is receiving more and more support from the student body every year. This year’s team, composed for the most part of green material, met de- feat at the annual fairgrounds meet with Greenfield, but showed much prom- ise of becoming quite a team, in the spring. The spring season schedule was composed of meets at Brattleboro, Arms Academy, Springfield, and Massachusetts State College. — — FOOTBALL This year’s football schedule was the most formidable ever undertaken by a Turners Falls High School football team which made the winning of the Western Massachusetts Championship a doubly deserved title. The first four games played were chalked up in the win column with Amherst, Adams, Tech and Commerce as the unwilling victims of an irresist- ible attack by the Lorden-men. It was in the next game at Gardner that the Indians sufifered their only defeat of the season when the Wildcats eked out a victory by the slim margin of six points. Agawam follow ' ed Gardner and was intiated on our new athletic field, going down to an inglorious defeat by a lopsided score. Athol followed the way of Agawam but Greenfield and Pittsfield proved harder nuts to crack forcing the Braves to two ties. However, six wins, two ties, and one loss, won for our school the highest Western Massachusetts rating of the year, and a proud high school will long remember Mr. Lorden and his 1935-36 football team.

I 19 36 TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Page 65 MANUAL TRAINING CLASSES Lender the expert guidance of Mr. W’aldo Perkins, Manual Training has attained a place of honor in Turners Falls High School. The school can look with extreme pride at the projects turned out by these classes. Upperclass- men taking Manual Training spend hve double periods a week working in the shop. Freshmen students spend four double periods on shop-work and one double period on IVIechanical Drawing every week. This year an exhibition of Manual Training work was held in the Assem- bly Hall. These projects, of which there were over fifty, were judged and prizes were awarded to two upperclassmen and two freshmen and also numer- able honorable mentions were given. The prize winning projects were on display in two local stores the week after the exhibit. Included in the exhibi- tion were baseball bats, desks, inlaid tables, floor lamp, book cases, foot-stools, neck-tie racks and many other articles. So much interest has been shown in this subject that next year when the school returns to the one session plan, classes larger than ever will greet Mr. Perkins. Page (i() TUHNKHS F A L I. S H 1 C.

The dream that all of us have enjoyed throughout past years has become, after much delay, an actuality. Sports will be placed upon a new par, and teams will become more skilled as a result of training in the new gymnasium. In like manner any dramatic undertakings will be more successful from both the financial, as well as the acting standpoints. More chance for pratice will be allowed the various or- ganizations. Also those pupils who do not participate on the varsity squads, but who still maintain an interest in the sport, will be given the opportunity to play in “pick-up” games, and so possibly develop themselves into varsity material. More valuable contact with the pupils will be obtained by the teachers, since the classes will be made smaller in proportion to the increased number of rooms in the addition. From all angles, the new addition will prove beneficial to all concerned, and so in behalf of these people, we thank those officials and public-spirited citizens who strove to obtain it for us. ]‘age 08 T U H X i: H S FALLS H I (i H SCHOOL 1 9 3 0 I Top Row Across: — Tennis Team in Action; — Corner of the Oflice; — Adams vs. Turners, Baseball at Fnity Bark.
