H S C II 0 0 L Y E A R ROOK — 1937 4 4 It was a warm summer afternoon on the first Wed- nesday of Sej)tember in 1933, Anno Domini, when the old, ivy-covered edifice of the Turners Falls High School flung open its doors to the illus- trious class of 1937. As 1 remember, we, to the number of 140 freshmen, bravely found our way to our home rooms 1, 2 and 3, which the seniors had already occupied that morning. We were eager to learn our new surroundings, of course. No sooner had we opened our desks, when lo ! and behold ! we saw that they were filled with books, papers, and notes (welcoming the freshmen) and so it was that we poor freshmen had little or no room to ourselves. We were pioneers in new surroundings the first class to attend school in the afternoon, because of over- crowded conditions in the high school. Natur- ally, we had difficulties we did not see our brethren of the upperclasses, we had to study under artificial light but worst of all, since our session lasted from one o’clock to five in the afternoon, we w ' ere losing one hour of school every day. But even these handicaps did not prevent us from being an illustrious class. The first to recognize our greatness were the seniors, the good old class of 1934 (God bless them) w ' ho held a dance in our honor. It was so much fun for us freshmen .... in this going through the receiving line and attempting, for the first time to dance. Almost everyone else wore evening clothes, as I recall ; and we fresh- men were very grateful for getting our first taste of society. As for the seniors, they too, were satisfied. ... all but for the fact that those who had freshmen for dancing partners com- plained of aching toes later. But in the opinion of our Principal, we had made a good impression, for two months later, he allowed us to hold a dance by ourselves. Al- most all of the freshmen came then. It was not a very formal afifair ; but even the shyest joined the hapoy crowd and danced as well as he could. The fall we entered high school, “The Netop,” our school publication w as first issued as a new ' S- paper under the guidance of Miss W’elcome Ayer. This paper was greatly appreciated by us fresh- men, because it was practically the only link joining us with the upper classmen. I remem- ber how thrilled we used to be to see our names in print.... and, in fact we were willing to do almost anything to get this publicity. — T H E — CLASS HISTORY By NELLIE WOZNIAK V Oh as freshmen, we had ever so many privileges, which those before us had not had. For instance, there was the N. R. A. parade that breezy November afternoon in 1933 .... which to us meant a holiday from school. Then, since we were a class apart, separated from the rest of the student body, we had the privilege of organizing our own clubs, our own freshman five-piece orchestra, and best of all, of putting on our own holiday programs in the assembly. Here, the freshmen received their training as leaders and as speakers. So it w ' as. . . .for ten short months we led this wonderful school life, then we were all transferred to the sophomore class. .. .much to our dismay. As sophomores, one of the first things we did was to choose our class leaders, and they still remain .... loyal and faithful as ever .... Presi- dent, Edward Putala ; Vice-president, Frank Bush; Secretary, Rosalie Beaubien; and Treas- urer, Dorothy Rau. Miss Olive Little has been our helpful adviser and class teacher. Shortly after the elections came our Sophomore Hop. . . . a very beautiful afifair. All the class officers were in the receiving line, to represent our class. The girls looked dainty in their evening gowns, and the boys appeared to dance with much more grace than they had a year ago. In view of the fact that our sophomore year was not full of various activities, we had time to select our class rings, also. Our rings are very beautiful, and they will always bring back to our mind ' s our glorious high school days, many many years from now. Thus passed our sophomore year. In spite of the fact that we were a studious class, we looked forward eagerly to our vacation. .. .and good- ness knows we needed it; for as juniors, we were to be very busy in our w ' ork, as well as in the extra-curricula activities. The students of the ' commercial course awaited this year eagerly, for they were to begin those two much liked sub- jects, shorthand and typewriting. As for the college preparatory students, they were to have a more difficult time, especially those who did not welcome whole-heartedly the theories of Cavaliari and Eu- clid in geometry. But then, the thoughts of this unpleasant and boring school work were olfset by thoughts of the two great events of the year.... junior Prom and the Prize Sjieaking Contest. 1‘AGE THIKTY-SIX TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK — 1937 In preparation for these two occasions we spent many long months. How shall we ever forget those many long weeks of drilling in public speaking. .. .and we still shake when we think of the impromptu speeches we had‘ to make. When Prize-Speaking time came around, about one-half of our whole class of approxi- mately one-hundred scholars tried out. Eight lucky boys and girls were selected as winners. . three cheers for them.... who labored loud and long under Miss Teed’s direction for the final contest, which took place in May. Ay-we re- member what a drizzly night it was outdoors ; but indoors, inside the auditorium, we felt very cheerful, for our prize-speakers, who by the way, were Rosalie Beaubien, Frank Bush, Rose Solomon, Paul Shumway, Norma Grogan, Ce- celia Carme, Harold Sears, and Rbbert Leary, brightened up the atmosphere with their lovely presentations. Rose Solomon won first prize that night ; Norma Grogan came second, and Harold Sears third. Junior Prom was a gala afifair. Our class had the honor of being the last class to hold its prom in the Hibernian Hall. Our class artists spent many hours in designing panels and mak- ing flowers to transform with these decorations the hall into a ' beautiful ballroom. Our prom was a great success .... those melodic strains of Johnny Newton’s orchestra; the cheerful air about the places ; the graceful waltzers, the colorful pageant of evening gowns.... are now a memory, but a memory forever. Thus the two great events in our school calendar passed by, and we were awaiting eagerly our summer vacation to catch our breath again. Last fall, we all returned to school as seniors ; but we didn’t return to the same high school as our predecessors had. Our high school at this time was far grander .... for it had been en- larged. Eight new rooms were added, and a new gymnasium and auditorium were being built. The gymnasium was finished during the winter and was available for games during the latter nart of the basketball season. The first game played here was with Greenfield High School. Our boys spent many long hours practi- cing in this gymnasium, and the fine result was shown at the Basketball Tournament at Massa- chusetts State College, where for the first time since our class was in high school, our basket- ball team won the preliminary game, and lost the finals by only two points. The two out- standing athletes in this game were Frankie Bush and Charlie Gloski. When the auditorium was built, our class of ’37 had the unique honor of being the first to hold its class dramatic performance there, when on April 30 it put on a truly splendid performance of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Never in the history of our high school had such a difficult play been attempted. . . .but our class did it. All of the actors did splendid work for which we give them each a laurel. Rose Solomon and Norma Gro- gan were the leading ladies ; they played the parts of Rosalind and Celia, respectively ; while Robert Leary portrayed Shakespeare’s most perfect lover, Orlando. Thus we were nearing the end of our high school days. .. .joyous, cheerful, because we were an illustrious class indeed. Last month. Rose Solomon added to our fame and glory. Rose, whom we all know is a promising actress represented our school, our town, and our state in a National Speech Tournament in Jackson- ville, Illinois, with her dramatic selection “St. Joan” by George Bernard Shaw. And now, classmates, the end of our high school days has come. Yes, in this high school, we have spent many happy as well as laborious days. Here we have gained for our- selves the reputation of an illustrious class, and to be sure we shall do all in our power to uphold this name when our dear Alma Mater will no longer guide us.

Gillette — “Purser, mark ofif the names of those going on the trip and assign them ail separate suites. The people all get on board ship. Then Captain Gillette gives his ship the gun and off they go at a 1500 mile an hour clip. To relieve the boredom of the trip Ruth Milkey. a Swingette, goes for- ward and gives a demonstration of a new tap dance, called the “Wooly Bushy.” She apologizes for the absence of Harriet Samoriski, Mary Annear, Myrtle Covey, Marjorie Buckmaster, and Antoinette Banash, who db all sorts of things as entertainers. Paul Nadeau, who has graduated from crooning to grand opera, comes in and starts singing, “O ! My Heart Throbs , but Charles Gloski the official bouncer, throws him down the laundry shute. A radio is turned on and an official broadcast is heard. Now ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Robert Leary, (official news commentator for the Turners Falls Gazette), popularly called “Sniffen the News Trackster.” Yes, that ' s me. The announcer got lost in the shuffle so I had to introduce myself. Flash! Albert Welch, big game hunter, has taken time off from his hunts in Greenland for Wittensillyophonduses to catch big game in Mars for Edward Bergiel, owner of the Freak Circus. Frank Bush, renowned animal trainer, subdues (the animals) with his Emma-line, the animals captured by Welch. Roy McCarthy, another ex- plorer, hopes to put it all over Welch. M’ouldn’t it be grand if McCarthy should capture Welch in one of his ant buttons? I don’t think there would he any more prized animal than Welch. “I now turn you over to Kathleen Currie, the eminent cub reporter. Miss Currie.” “Thank you. Mr. Leary. Here’s the story of the hour.

Now, I will leave you to the soothing — inharmonious — music from the symphony orchestra conducted by Paul Shumway and Marcel Hoynoski.” The sound of the music from the orchestra is lost in the pandemonium caused by Captain Gillette announcing, “First stop at number 1,675,037 hos- tel run by James Gunn.

After a few hours of rest, the ship again gets under way and about ten million miles from the earth, they run into a storm. Mary Ptak, Rita Rivet, and Jennie Niedbala, stewardesses, help quiet the passengers. Teles]ihore Ryan and Marion AIcClary, stylists in Filene’s, become frightened when they see the northern lights.

Joe Kosewich, the biggest business man of all times, dictates a letter to Mary Zak, and sends it to Dorothy Winch, an explorer in Egypt. M iss Winch, with her assistants, Charles Noga and Chester Osowski, have discovered ' a pyra- thograph belonging to the wind-bag class of in- struments. The motor begins to knock and Wissman sends in Eugene Staiger, assistant pilot, for the inventor of the plane, Henry Waidlich. The knock in the engines is abolished when Emil Golonka’s mule power capsules are mixed with the gasoline. Refreshments are now served with the milk coming from Sazama’s Synthetic Milk Plant. The girl passengers now play a game invented by Bernice Pervere and Evelyn Fisette, called ‘Volly-base-hocket-ball,” in which a ring is used, being pushed by the thumb and indtex finger. Margaret Cahill, a psychiatrist, has her hands full taking care of Earl Remillard, who has loosened a screw because of a gum famine. For the entertainment of the guests, a twin act, starring Sally Dykes and Francis Burnham, is put on. These two, it is said, went to Rosalie Beaubien ' s school of charm before they began to i erform professionally. Rose Solomon gives a dramatic sketch, written by Nellie Wozniak, and interpreted by Cecile Carme. Frank Dobosz, a deep sea fisherman, picks up a Who’s Who book, in an effort to find the names of his classmates. Howard Haskins has become a second Bob Feller. Elliott Moreau has trained his voice so that he is an idol of the ladies when he croons on the radio. Mary Bogusz has organized an escort bureau in New York. Those who are in her employ are Doro- thy Rau, Jennie Niedwiecki, Beulah Brown, Helen Yukl, Philip Shanahan, Jennie Gozieski, Alice Kulch, Imelda Legere, Bernard Rosewarne, Norman Frigon, and Edward Ducharme. When the passengers arrived on Mars, Stanley Kosloski and Anthony Kostrzewski conducted them through the palatial gardens. June Hill- man, a famous painter, has already got out her brushes and busily starts painting a mountain from a mole-hill. After a bountiful supper, Ruth Neipp gives a talk on her correspondence with foreigners. Helen Martin explains about her difficulties in decorating the interior of the plane and why she used a statue sculptured by Abbie Burnham. Edward Murphy and Charles Mathieu gives a debate on “Down With All Women.” To top ofif the evening ' s entertainment a Shadow picture, directed by Norma Grogan, is shown. To all you readers who are wondering who observed these happenings, we refer you to Ste- phen Siteman and his crystal, which he tells about his view of Yeats-Brown’s stories.

First, to Miss Little, our beloved class teacher, we leave a high steel barbed-wire fence, to hold back the seniors in Room 28, in their 1 :00 P. M. mad dashes. To Ruth Milkey, June Hillman, E. Zimmerman, Abbie Burnham, and Ruth Neipp, we leave a kiddie-car with a trailer attached to carry them up to Turners on Bargain Night. That he may never be without it, we give to Stanley Zurko a gallon jug of “Catabco’’ from the “Deo Love Laboratory. W’e leave Kitty Currie. Rose Solomon, and Rosalie Beaubien a nickel machine, full of “slug nickels to be used every recess at the candy counter. To our class president.

You have not taught us how to say “Good-bye” To our fostering mother. Turners High ; Though our eyes now shine with a hopeful gleam. Ready to buffet the current of life’s great stream, Though we climb the rough road to a rugged height, Our hearts are dreading this parting tonight. Tonight we leave your ivy-clad walls.

W ' hy, if I had the time, I could make those fellows look like hackneyed poets.” But then when you find yourself alone, wdth plenty of time to w ' aste, and then seriously try to write poetry, you find it an altogether different matter. Of course the first attempts really were laughable but you still got a big “kick” in seeing something in poetry of your own composition. If you tried to rhyme your verse you found it even hard- er. “Let me see. Wdiat rhymes with ‘Myrtle’? Oh! Yes, ‘Turtle.’ But how can you compare Myrtle to a turtle. Oh! W’ell. Great poetry always makes one extend his imagination, so I guess this will do.” No, it doesn’t make much sense but that doesn’t bother you. Poetry never makes sense. It really is only the feeling it gives you or the beauty of rhythmic words. Then as you seem to get the knack of poetry writing (or shall I say when finally the music has inspired you) words flow from your pen with increasing ease. Now your stanzas develop with rapidity. Now they are marked by a deeper, more reflective thought. It is at this time when you forget your surroundings. You are on the magic carpet and all the realms of imagination are at your command and access. You are an ethereal minstrel or a fairy, or some magician. The Muses enchant you. Then your bubble is pricked and you And yourself back in a crowded school room. A look of despair veils your face as you find yourself in Study Hall, Room 16, and your desk piled with scrap paper. You find yourself the center of attention. Everyone seems to be laughing. Then a friend returns a paper on which you had been writing (which he picked up from the floor) and as he gives it to you he says, “I’m proud to have made the acquaintance of WElliam Shakespeare, the second.” And then as the bell rings your face suddenly turns crimson, and you “meditate” that the matter with this young- er generation is that they don’t appreciate art. THE SEA By M. ANNEAR A FIGHTING TROUT By A. KOSTESKY Often I sit and watch the tide As it goes out to sea I watch ’til I can .see no more Then wonder wlhere it can be. The fish were bitin’ pretty good that day When we were fishin’ in the river, say! Did you see the rainbow trout I caught, And the way he took the bait, and fought? The billowy waves goes dashing on I know not what their goal But just before they come again They will have reached a shoal. I’d just thrown out my line, kerplunk! And out of sight it took and sunk. Then, there was a nice, hard pull. And I sez to myself, “.lest keep cool.” The gulls will hover near the sea To catch their tiny prey The fish care not for tide or sea They swim around the bay. I knew I’d have to play that trout. He was twenty inches when I pulled him out. Next day there was twenty men in that place, But all they caught was a bunch of dace.

The wind seemed to wail, “Hurricane,” When with a clash of thunder came the rain. Came the rain and then the wind Getting much stronger, making loud the din Of the beat of raindrops on the walk Falling so ' hard ’tw ' as impossible talk. It fell against the window pane Beating, repeating its ominous refrain, “Hurricane, hurricane, everybody hide! Get to the safety of the house, inside.” So raged the storm all through the night Though in the morning the streets were a sight. Papers and leaves scattered here and there But, oh how nice, was the clear smelling air. Came the sun in all its glory. Drying the wet w’alks, ending all worry. True it was a glorious day. Even the children were happy at play. Strengthening, verifying that old refrain. That is heard so much after the rain, Twas said by someone, I believe in fun “After the rain, then comes the sun.” OX RECEIVIXG DIPLOMAS By DOROTHY RAU Arranged in a neat pile.

Have you heard of the S.D.A.U.Y.G. Club? That means, “Sit down and up you go.” It’s the club with the most members in it Where dues don’t cost much “dough.” Have you heard of gum-chewing? Well this is where it began. Where wrinkles are chewed out of the gum, Xo more famous sport in the land. Did you ever hear a whisper? ’Cause if you did you know where it’ll be It’s the big boys that strut down from The back to sit in a front seat.

(]Rrrie T U R N E R S FALLS H I (i H SCHOOL YEAR BOOK — 1937 AS YOU LIKE IT Playing before an over-capacity house, the Class of 1937 presented the annual senior ])lay in the high school ' s new auditorium. The first Shake- spearean production attempted in some years in this community met with great success. Miss Alice Teed of the English department deserves our sincere api reciation for the splendid training she has given us. In this hap])iest of his comedies, Shakespeare rook no trouble to avoid a touch of the fantasti- cal and ideal. The realism lies in the gay, laugh- ing feeling, the fresh woodland sentiment, and the high spirits that attend the escajie from arti- ficial city society. For one reason or another all the characters get exiled, all meet in the Forest of Arden, where “as you like it is the order of the day. There is the manly young Orlando (Robert Leary), his villainous elder brother Oliver (Paul Shumway), and their servant Adam (Abbie Burnham), At court is the reigning Duke Frederick (Harold Sears), his daughter Cel ia (Norma Grogan), her cousin Rosalind (Rose Solomon), and the clown Touchstone (Kathleen Currie). In the forest the banished father of Rosalind. Duke Senior (Edward Putala), and the melan- choly Jaccjues (Stephen Siteman), and other lords (James Gunn, Edmund Olchowski), who are tanned with sun and wind chasing the dappled deer under the greenwood tree ; the table loaded with the juicy roast of venison, and long idle summer hours of leisurely living. On the outskirts of the forest are shepherd swains and lasses, — old Corin (Imelda Legere), Silvius (Marion McClary), in love with Phebe (Phyllis Griesbach), and the wench Audrey (Evelyn Fisette), with whom William (Albert Welch) is in love. Orland has had to fly from his murderous brother. Rosalind has been banished from the court by her uncle, and she and Celia, disguised as she])herds, have slip])ed away with Touch- stone. Now Rosalind has become dee])ly in love with Orlando since she first saw him overcome the Duke’s wrestler (Francis Burnham), and he is ecuially in love with her. She is a young maid, tall, strong, rustically clad in rough forest gar- ments, possessing a constant flew of cheerful spirits, a humor of the freshest and kindliest. Touchstone is a fellow of twinkling eye and dry and caustic wit. his face as solemn as a church- yard while his hearers are all agrin. He and Jaccpies look on life with a cynical glance. Jacques is pleased when things run counter to other people, but is, after all, not so bad as he tries to be. Like a series of revolving views, scene after scene is glimpsed through the forest glades — here the forester lords singing, and bearing the antlers of the deer ; there lovesick Orlando carv- ing verses on the bark of trees, or rescuing his brother from the lion. The youth Ganymede (really Rosalind) pre- tends she can cure Orlando of his lovesickness by teaching him to woo him as if he were Rosa- lind, all of which makes a pretty pastoral picture. Then Touchstone passes by, leading by the hand the captive of his spear, Audrey, who has never heard of poetry ; or in another part of the woodland he is busy mystifying the shepherd Corin. Ganymede gets the heartless coquette, Phebe, to promise that if she ever refuses to wed him, she will wed her scorned admirer, Silvius, and makes her father promise to give Rosalind to Orland; then retires and comes back in her ' )wn garments as Rosalind. The play ends with the four couples being married under the trees by Hymen ( Rosalie Beaubien), and a colorful dancing scene. P. GE FORTY-MXE T U H N K H S F A L I. S II I ( ' .

I .V(JK FIFTY • s TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK — 1937 PRO MERITO The Pro Merito Society, composed of students who have achieved an average grade of “B” or more in four years ' of study, had fifteen members during the past year. This number is 15.8% of the senior class and is an increase of six over the membership of this school in the first Pro Merito Society of 1917. In the past year there were two meetings, one at Greenfield and the second at Drury in North Adams, where representatives of various schools of Western Massachusetts gathered and discussed the activities of their respective Society. Persons who are awarded Pro Merito Membership are exempt from the College Board Examinations if they wish to further their education in a high- er institution of learning. Let us take a glimpse into the history of the Pro Merito Society. Some time before the spring of 1917, the subject of finding a suitable way to show honor to students of high scholastic rank came up for discussion be- fore the Headmasters’ Club of Western Massachusetts. Many principals took part in this discussion, but the leader, the man who persisted in bringing up the subject at every opportunity until something was done about it, was Dr. H. H. Gadsby, Principal of the Drury High School of North Adams. Finally, in the spring of 1917 the members decided to form an honor society to be known as the Pro Merito Society. All students of good character who had made a general scholastic average of 85% through the first three years of high school were eligible for membership in the Pro Merito Society Accordingly, in the spring of 1917, twenty-three principals organized chapters of the Society in their schools. It had been agreed that the chapter in North Adams would serve as a central headquarters for the new organiza- tion, and each chapter sent regularly to the North Adams chapter lists of members to be filed for permanent record. A total of 173 names of members were recorded from the twenty-three chapters in the spring of 1917. The following schools in Franklin County formed Pro Merito Societies in 1917: School Principal Members Arms Academy .lames W. Vose 7 Greenfield John V. Jewett 7 New Salem Academy L. R.

The club is directed by Miss Marion Packard, with the aid of Miss Little and Miss Shea. All students who are juniors or seniors and who take stenography or typewriting as subjects, are eligible to belong. This year the club has had many good times. At these meetings the members use some of the time to talk of the advantages of commercial work and how to go about obtaining a position. The club tries to get some neigh- boring school to visit at least once a year. One of the things that each member looks forward to is a trip to the new court house during high court. This is always a grand adventure. Besides these they have parties and dances. Last year a dance was held in the old auditorium and the proceeds went to the club treasury. Then parties were held on Hallowe’en, Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day, and other holidays. Dur- ing the winter they went on skating parties or sleigh rides. This year they had a scavenger hunt as an initiation party to the new members. If at the end of the year, there is quite a large amount in the club treasury, the members are planning to buy dictation records or other equip- ment that will help the progress of the commercial work in this high school. W consider this one of the major clubs of the school and every commer- cial student looks forward to becoming one of its members. These outside activities make the commercial course much more interesting. 8 - P. GE fifty-fivf: - $ FRENCH CLUB T U 1 N I‘ H S F A I.

It has been, more or less, an honorary club, to which only those junior and senior students, who have attained a mark of “B or better in French can belong. Sophomores are eligible under the same con- ditions at the end of their first year of the study of French. The purpose of the club is to get the students accjuainted with the cus- toms, and the people of France. The meetings are all conducted in the French language. This year, the outstanding event of the French Club was the Christmas party, and the initiation of its new members. At every meeting there has been some form of entertainment, such as games, spelling contests, or French songs. The total membership of the club numbered fifty students. This year’s officers have been : President, Phyllis Ciifiesbach ; Vice-president. Harold Fugere : Secretary, Sally Fykes; and Treasurer, Kathleen Garneau. The class of 1937 desires to leave its wishes for much success in years to come with the Cercle Francaise. GERMAN CLUB The German Club of the Turners Falls High School is now a permanent part of the school. After two years of hardships and disappointments, the club has finally anchored itself in smooth waters. A majority of the students who study the German language are members of the club. This proves that the programs must be interesting and the benefit gained by attending the meet- ings must be worthwhile. Most of the credit goes to Mr. Carl V’alz, the club ' s adviser. He has guided the destinies of the club since its inauguration in 1934. James Gunn, Jr., was the president this year. Aleetings were held regu- larly in the high school. Let us hope that the students of the future will patronize the German Club and then the work of the first few years wiU not have been in vain. $ ■ -« MFTV-SEVEX GERMAN CLUB T U R N E li S F A E F, S IF F (1 FF S E FF () () F.

During the meetings the members gave brief talks, Mr. Lor- den explained the details of pre-cancels and finally many exchanges take place for the benefit of all. The members of the club wished to give an exhibition this spring but many difficulties were met, so the clubs in the future must carry out this plan. Next year we all hope the Turners Falls High School Stamp Club will have the largest enrollment ever.

Their climax was reached in the tournament and their tourney games gave fans thrills which they will never forget. Victories were garnered from Orange, Amherst, Chicopee, Alumni, Gardner (two) and Deerfield (two) while congests were dropped to Chicopee, (iommerce, Adams, and two each to Greenfield, Westfield, Tchnical, and Holyoke. 3 - l� AGK SIXTY-SEVEN T LI H N E H S E A L L S HI G II S C II () () E Y E AH HOOK — 1937 TURNERS FALLS MKLl SCHOOL HASKHALL TEAM Lower Row — Hobert Leveille, Harold Eugcre, Matthew Mucha, Charles Gloski, Joseph Kosewicz, Howard Haskins, Edward Sicard, Stanley Zurko, Robert Leary, Frank Hush, Wallace Kondrat, Francis Dolan.

As the year book goes to press, the Pow ' ertowners were leading the Valley League with hve victories, and no de- feats. All the wins were pitched by that speed ball artist, Howie Haskins. Coach Lorden had considerable rebuilding to do, since seven regulars from last year’s pennant win- ners were lost, either by graduation or via the new Headmasters’ ruling. A veteran keystone combin- ation and catcher, however, eased his worries somewhat. Victories were scored over Northampton (tw ' o). Holyoke, Chicopee, Greenfield, Athol, and Gardner, while two contests were dropped to Orange. If the Indians continue their success they will undoubted- ly keep the laurels which they annexed in the sea- son of 1936. Coach Lorden hopes that his boys can bring the Valley League leadership to Turners Falls in his first year of membershii). -« ■ I AGK SIXTY-KIGHT TUB? s’ E R S F A L L S HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK - 19 3 7 GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Lower Row — E.

This year found our Tennis Team becoming a mem- ber of the Valley League, and up to this writing our boys have fared well against all opposition. Coach Walz found himself surrounded by “rookies at the start of the season, but most of the players had had experience before on the courts. As we go to press the tennis team has taken three successive engage- ments. overwhelming Athol and Chicopee, by 4-1 scores, and nosing out Greenfield by a 3-2 count. Foley and Cotton have been the 1 and 2 men re- spectively, and aided by Parsons, Sicard, and Aiken, should form a formidable cjuintet for next year. V ' ith such a good start and with such a squad re- porting as veteran material in another year. Coach Walz will elevate his Warriors to the best in the Valley League for two seasons.

At the annual Franklin County Fair, the Blue and White Wingmen overpowered Greenfield High 54J 2 to 52 2 in one of the closest meets in history. In another eleven school meet at the Fair Grounds, the Indians finished eighth. Coach Shefif, however, is not worried for he is building for next year with a bunch of sophomores, freshmen, and juniors. The Braves also partici- pated in the Western Massachusetts High School Track Meet at Springfield, and the High School Re- lay at Massachusetts State College. Coach Shefif is wearing a wide smile these days, and is saying, “Watch us at the Fair, this year!” ? ■ I ' AGK SKVE TY-OXE T U II N I-; H S I ' A I, I. S II I (i II SC II O O I.

To Charles Holewa, we give a free pass to any dance hall, anywhere in the United States, to be used at any time so that he will always be able to learn the latest dance steps. A set of geometry problems, we give to James Fournier, so that he can always be kept out of mischief. We leave to Albert Welch, a life-time seat in the front row at all Young People’s Meetings, so that he will be able to hear every word that the Presi- dent says. To Robert Gillette, we give a mechanical robot who will put radios to- gether again, as fast as Robert can take them apart. Nellie Wozniak will leave her book of complete Latin Translations to all future Virgil students, in the hope that perhaps they will understand “The Aeneid,” as easily as she does. To Chester Osowski we give a contract for the biggest and best night club in Montague. We leave to Raymond Laskowski, Edward Sicard, and Stanley Kozloski, a joint contract for all future Tarzan serials, to be produced in Richard Stoughton’s studio, situated at 0000 Hollywood ' Boulevard. To each of the following girls, we leave a full ounce of Stanley Zurko’s priceless perfume and hope that they will use it sparingly. This treasure is awarded to Myrtle Covey, Marjorie Buckmaster, Evelyn Fisette, Helen Vlach, Anna Zink, Helen Martin, Jennie Darash, and Mary Sovecki.

A “whisk” and he’s at Sylvia’s, a “whoosh,” and he’s home again. To Rov McCarthy we give a taxi meter, in order that he will be able to reap the profits of carrying around the “hill-bunch” in his Ford. A needle and a long piece of thread, goes to James Gunn, so that he will always have a stitch on his side. . .nd now, with the hope that you will forgive us our wrongs, to the re- lief of all. we, the class of 1937, leave the school. 3 - - $ l‘.4GK SKVKNTY-TWO TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 19 3 7 ADVERTISING SECTION THE SENIOR CLASS OF TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL GREATLY APPRECIATES THE UNFAILING HELP OF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE MADE NETOP AND THIS YEAR BOOK SUCCESSFUL PAGE SEVENTY-THREE T I’ X I-: H S I ' A I.
