As to our worldly estates, and all property, real, personal, or mixed, of which we shall die seized or possessed, or to which we shall be entitled at the time of our decease, we devise, bequeath, and dispose thereof in the manner following : We direct that our obsequies (fawning) shall be conducted in such a manner as is becoming to our social standing, due mention to be made of our various pranks and their activities in behalf of this school, hoping that the pallbearers will be men of strong muscle and our mourners ready to lament our demise. We give and bequeath to this noble institution of learning ' all the cash (if any) at the end of our career, which, we trust will aid the School Board to reimburse the school for any damage we may have inadvertently done to this edifice. We give and bequeath to our teachers all our unfinished lessons and our badly rendered recitations; we also will to them peaceful nights and undis- turbed slumber, for no longer will they have to worry over our examinations to be corrected ; no longer will our grades disappoint them ; no longer Will they have to listen to our new theories and solutions to problems. Rest will be theirs, a long, hard-earned rest from arduous toil. We give and bequeath to the freshman class a large pail of unused “brain glue” to be used by them carefully and persistently while preparing their lessons, hoping that this wonderful compound, for which we have nothing but words of praise, will aid them in fastening historical data and other dry material in their minds without too much exertion. We leave to the next senior class a collection of magic puzzles the solu- tion of which will prove to them an enjoyable pastime when preparation of their lessons becomes monotonous and other diversions lose their attractions. These magic puzzles are much more entertaining than problems in algebra, geometry or what have you; they incite the mind to much more activity than the biographies of ancient heroes of American History. PAGE TH I KTY-SI T U B N E B S F ALLS HI G H S CHOO I. YEAR BOOK 19 3 8 In order to show our good will towards the sophomores, we bequeath to them a copy of Mr. Wrightson’s “Almanac” which will help them to steer cleai of many an approaching storm. It will enable them quickly and surely to read in their instructor’s countenance, as lie enters the class room, what will be the matter and conditions of movements through the day.

For an example of the efficiency of the machine look at the “Googe” himself.

To Mr. Shumway we leave Edwin Welcome’s formula for making un- breakable test tubes. (Edwin broke only 50 last year.)

We leave to Frank Sojka, Harry Velander, Gerald Cadran, and Walter Janusz a bottle of Giknis, Yarmac and Hitchcock Combination hair tonic. Guaranteed to wave and set the hair— yes, you wave your hair goodbye and set upon your head a toupee. To all girls who can’t get along with the boys very well we leave Kath- erine Humphrey’s pamphlet “How to Make Men Like You at First Glance.” Our beloved editor-in-chief of the Factory Hollow Centennial, Ken Par- sons, leaves his position to Raymond Slifer while “Bomber” Koscinski leaves his editorship of the Woman’s Page to Ernest Gelinas.

To those super-dignified sophomores “Pat” Grogan and Martha Treml we leave Ted Aitken’s latest invention, a device which will create compressed air about them so they may not give off so many airs. We leave to John Dolan, Pauline Fugere, Rudolph Masek and Rachel Caouette, Viola Belado’s date bureau. Not so easy is it?

To Joseph Naperkoski, Edward Blake, Eugene Putala and John Delpha we leave the honorary membership to the Bachelor Club to replace Stephen Zmuda, Robert Ross and Robert Levielle who turned traitors to the cause. So that Agnes Murphy may keep in touch with “Jiggers” we leave to her Pinky Soupey Campbell’s television set.

KORTY-OMC TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL Y E A R B O O K 19 3 8 CLASS HISTORY li Y _ ANTOINETTE WARAKSA Assuming an air of nonchalance befitting our new .status as members of the Class ' 38 we marched into the high school building, hearts beating a little faster and filled with an eager anticipation. It seemed a bit strange to start school in the afternoon after years of early ris- ing. W e soon found the new schedule advan- tageous, however, for evenings were care-free and inspirations arrived with greater frequency in the morning. Few of the members of our class blundered about the corridors or found the schedule of per- iods confusing. We caught on with almost amazing intelligence. The first social event, namely the Freshmen Reception by the seniors, brought our first les- sons in the art of gracefully manipulating our limbs to the rhythm of the waltz, fox-trot and one-step. We were assembled in the old gym where Miss Fitzgerald and Miss Crowther in- structed us. W ith much self-conscious giggling the boys hesitantly approached demurely difident girls and assumed the correct posture. The teachers counted and the members of the class began to glide first to the right and then to the left. While counting continued all went well — with the exception of a few collisions with the poles of the gym. However, when we were left to our own resources our feet were apt to be- come entangled despite the fact that we concen- trated diligently. Our instructors earned our intense gratitude for repressing the amusement they must have felt. The night of the social we swung gracefully about the floor. As conversa- tionalists, however, we were a total loss for we were all absorbed in the count of step — slide — step. This first dance remained in our memories even when we became sophomores and lost all the naivete associated with our first year of high school. The next fall we were quite blase and inclined to snicker at any unsuspecting freshman who might cross our paths. Social duties confronted us almost immediately upon our return. It was our job to creditably conduct the Sophomore Social. The assembly hall was decorated with corn-stalks, pumpkins, autumn leaves and skele- tons, and very effective it was, too. We elected as our class officers Kenneth Par- sons, president; Wallace Sojka, vice-president; Kathleen Garneau, secretary; Sylvia Podling, treasurer ; Antoinette Waraksa, historian. Im- mediately after we selected our class ring. Our choice was so good that the same design was ac- cepted later by all the classes who followed us. Time passed rapidly and before we were com- pletely aware of it we were no longer sopho- mores but juniors looking forward to a very eventful year and planning all kinds of feats. Happily we returned to school for a new audi- torium and gymnasium were being built and our new additional classrooms were completed. The juniors coveted one of these for their own use. All our social activities were at a stand-still dur- ing this construction period. It was with great excitement and curiosity that we first met in the auditorium. It seemed great to be seated as an entire body and not to feel like an outsider gazing in through windows and leaning on the person before you, stretching your neck in order not to miss a thing. Although we appreciated our new auditorium the gymnasium was greet- ed enthusiastically by everyone. Now we were able to hold our games in a fine building and comfortably watch a game without fear of being struck by a ball. To take gym was a pleasure for we knew a shower awaited us at the end of PAGE FORTY-TWO T URNERS FALLS III G H SCH 0 O L YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 8 the period and you know how invigorating that is. At the class election all of the former officers were re-elected except the treasurer. Marion Greene obtained this position. We were certainly fortunate for we were giv- en the privilege of being the first to hold our prom in the new gym. Our Junior Prom was a sensational affair and was welcomed by every- one fore we opened the social calendar. The gym was a lovely garden scene with trellises of rambling red roses. The balcony rails were decorated with baskets and streamers. The dance floor was a moving rainbow of soft colors as the dancers swung gracefully around the floor to the lilting strains of the Knights of Rhythm. Miss Porter and the various prom committees who had worked so arduously certainly deserved the compliments that their labors received. Success in the social field induced us to turn to oratory. We had been having lessons in pub- lic speaking for half the year. Tryouts were held and the following people were selected: Faustina Marino, Andrew Kocinski, Betsy Bank- witz, John Sojka, Plelen Terlikowski, Paul Wat- tles, Rita St. Germain, Joseph Foley, Sylvia Pod- ling, and Emanuel Cohen. The entire speaking cast was so excellent that the judges had a difficult and unenviable task in selecting the three best speakers. After much deliberation Faustina Marino was awarded first prize for her portrayal of a school marm. An- drew Kocinski gave an excellent performance of a maniac and to him went the second prize. To Betsy Bankwitz went the third prize for her able rendition of a selection from the play, “Victoria Regina.” The prize speaking contest was our last class event and then we began to look forward to hot weather and to the swimming hole. Throughout our first three years we strove to attain a high standing in all our activities and we entered our senior year with a resolution to even better our former efforts. What a victory we scored on Thanksgiving Day when we defeated our keenest rivals, Green- field, by a score of 13-12. It was our most thrill- ing victory of the season. “If I Were King by James Fluntley McCarthy was selected by Miss Teed for our class play. The play was opened with a tavern scene in which incidentally all the wooden furniture was made by the Shebell twins. “If I Were King” was a smashing success due to Miss Teed ' s splendid direction and the cooperation of the actors. Al- though they dashed frenziedly about their dress- ing rooms they were as calm and collected as veteran actors, when they faced the audience. Laurels go to all the leading and minor actors and to all our assistants. Amid all the hustle and bustle of being mea- sured for caps and gowns, planning our class day and graduation exercises comes the reluctant realization that this is our last year as members of the class of ' 38. After we receive our diplomas some of us will go to college, some of us to work, but whatever we do we shall never forget our years at high school. Let us hope that we shall vanquish all our obstacles with the same spirit with which we have tackled our problems at school and that we shall never forget our motto, “Succeed I can, I will, I must.” i ;e kohty-thhee TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 8 CLASS PROPHECY 11 Y HAROLD FUGERE A I.

If one should take a stone, that is round as the best of nature’s stones are, put it into a pail of water and wipe it clean with a cloth so as to be sure it is free from all substances, then let it dry in the sun, I think it will still pick up a very little moss. To prove it, 1 would weigh the stone and get the weight right to the half-ounce. Then taking it to the top of a steep incline where there was a good crop of moss, I would release it. Where there’s moss it is most always damp. As the stone starts down the hill it will become moist and as it goes on, it will cut into the moss and some of the moss will cling to the stone. Then taking the stone and weighing it, you will lind that it weighs more than the first time. So I think the proverb should be changed to, “A Rolling Slone Gathers Little Moss.” Robert Ross THOUGHTS Every night I sit at home, And thoughtfully I scratch my dome; While looking through the college books To find a school that likes my looks. First, there’s a bulletin from Skidmore College Maybe, there I can get some knowledge; And here is a book from Notre Dame But football is their middle name. Springfield College teaches Physical Ed. But what’s the use, it ain’t co-ed; What’s the matter with the college of Bates? It ' s too hard for a Frosh to get his dates. Stockbridge School they say is 0. K. If you want to be a farmer and rake the hay; And here’s a letter from Temple in Philly, Asking, “Can you play football here, Willy?” So you see the mess I’m in When I start to do my pickin’; First it’s here and then it’s there So you see why I’m up in the air. What do they teach you in these nifty places? Sitting in a stadium watching the races; Lesson number one in the school of Cornell “Say there, do you know the college yell?” Go down to Amherst where they have the big dance, But what’a going to do without a crease in your pants? You always need a couple of extra bucks, How do you ’spect to graduate without a tux?” And so I’m sitting a’scratching my head My hands full of slivers eating crackers in bed; Thinking of the past I heave a mighty sigh Boy! there ain’t no place like Turners High. — Emanuel Cohen LINCOLN AS THE WRITERS SEE HIM Of all great men who have been written about in plays, histories and poems, Lincoln stands fore- most. In the first place, in order to be able to write well and with interest, a writer must have a great subject. And Lincoln surely was a great man thus affording ample material for playwrights, his- torians and poets. The playwright pictures Lincoln as a sympathetic understanding man who tactfully overcomes preju- dices and other governmental difficulties. Mr. Drinkwater shows us the human side of Lincoln, his personal difficulties and contacts. Lincoln’s tact was most amazing and fully explains his pro- gress in government. Poets show varied and different sides of Lincoln. Of course, what was written about Lincoln by these poets is simply their own personal opinions of a great and good man. Walter Malone likens Lincoln to a quaint knight errant of the pioneers, a h omely hero born of star and sod, a peasant-prince and a masterpiece of God. Thomas Curtis Clark in his poem entitled “Lin- coln” pictures him as being wise, shrewd, grim and keen, firm, tender and gay. And his final verse says, “Deathless he enters life.” James Larkin Pearsoni describes the making of Lincoln by God. God saves and saves the stuff ' he uses to make men and when there is the supremest need with steady aim, he hurls the thunderbolt and Lincoln filled the world. One cannot help but feel a thrill when reading poems about Lincoln. Of course the poets are ap- pealing to the emotions, and thus are more popular than the playwright, but in order to really see Lin- coln one must read both poet and playwright. — Paul Wattles THOUGHTS IN BRIEF A stranger alone in a big city and the hermit in the hills both know the meaning of the word “lonesome.” Travel gives me a broader outlook on life and makes the world seem smaller. When I’m working I’m happy and yearn for leisure; when I am a man of leisure I become dis- contented and yearn for work. Sometimes I don’t like to start working but when I start I dislike stopping. I say what I think but cover it with sugar. Personality, I think, counts eighty per cent. We are educated on how to earn a living but not how to live. — Andrew Kocinski PAGE FORTY-EIGHT T U R N E R S F ALLS H I G H S C HO 0 L YEAR BOOK 1 9 3 3 “WHERE IS THAT BOOK?” Characters: Elmer Brown, Mrs. Brown, Judy Brown, Aunt Millicent.

Paine entitled, “You Can Be Popular With Women, In Ten Easy Lessons.” — Dorothy Lazars REMEMBER Remember when to this high school we first came And found everything far from tame. How our legs from the chairs would hang In the old assembly where we sang, And how we were always told “You sing better than the seniors, bold.”? And every time we asked them, “Why?” They told us we’d learn bye an’ bye. So now you know, you little fairies, Why we sang like warbling canaries. Remember, too, how it meant your doom To be caught whispering in a classroom And how we thoug ht the moon was a light To show us our way home at five each night? A detention knocked us from our trail to glory And led us into so much woe and worry. True enough for the Hop we’d turn out To get the ice cream and cake they used to dish out. Those were the days you were thought to be dizzy If you danced like any one of those sissies, A party then meant something to eat, To play parlor rugby was truly a feat. And if ever a girl mentioned such a game You’d surely reply, “What a dame!” And really, doesn’t it make you sore To think of the short pacts you always wore? Now of these things I could always say more, And truly make this thing a bore, So all of you do as I bid And never say, “You never did.” — A.

Frank: Boy! these stairs are treacherous. Watch your step, John. John: What seems funny to me is that the light- house is dark when it should be lit. We should be able to find the trouble if we can get up these blame stairs. Frank: This place sure is giving me the creeps. I believe that I haven ' t got a cigarette left. I ' ve smoked so many since we landed here. John: Here take some of mine! Hold it. What was that! Frank: Just your imagination running away with you, you old sea-fossil. There is nothing here as far as 1 can see and that isn’t very far. John: Quit joking, Frank. We’re liable to run into plenty of trouble yet. Frank: Ouch! Can you imagine me running smack into a trap door without even yelling till my head is half pushed in? Here lend me a hand. John: Heave! There she is wide open! Take your time, lad, and keep your ears wide open and your eyes peeled. Trouble might be lurking up here and remember there’s a seventy-foot drop from here down to the ground floor. Frank: It’s too bad I didn’t bring along my dad’s old six-shooter. I could have given anyone hid- ing in this place a little fun with that baby canon. Why, I can remember a story dad told me about that six-shooter, lie once carried it on his right hip till .... John : Cut it out, lad. We’re up here for business not for fooling. Frank : Aye, aye, sir, but I still think we’re going to make an awful big mistake. John: You know, lad, that old Jim wouldn’t have his lighthouse go a night without a light. Frank: Well, sir! It’s still forty feet to the light. Shall we proceed there or search here? John: Here, and be darn careful you dont’ fall through that trap door. On second thought, you better close that trap door, before you do fall through it. Frank: Aw, shucks! I won’t fall through it, but if you’re afraid, I’ll close it. John: That’s better. I can breathe a little easier now. Let’s do a little searching now, but be mighty careful. Frank: Aye, aye! Ouch! D! ? ! How can I help it if the sofa ran into my shinbone and boy does it hurt! I think this side has only got a sofa, so I’ll help you search on the other side. John: Now be more careful. You’re not in an engine room. You’re in a lighthouse and if you dare to speak too loud again I’ll smack you. Frank: All I kin find here is a blank stone wall, a few r pipes, two or three oil drums, and this blame sofa. John: Let’s get up to the light. Maybe we can re- pair it and then see a little clearer. Jim must be around somewhere. Frank: Jim might have leaned over the window and fell or else he has been murdiered. John: Murdered — Oh, no! Let’s get up to the light. Lead the way. Frank: Some more darn stairs to climb and be- sides these go around, making it difficult. I don ' t know who built this lighthouse but he must have been a little under the weather when he drew his plans. John: Never mind who built this lighthouse. Let’s find out what’s the matter with it now. Frank: There seems to be a shortage of stairs here. Oh, here’s a ladder. Gosh, that guy must have been dead drunk when he planned it. John: How long is that ladder? Frank: How 7 do I know? I can’t see the end. John: Well, take your time and you won’t smash your head against a trap door if there’s one. Frank: There’s one all right, because I just felt it. It’s kind of light so I’ll get through it without your help. John: Well, now, son, we’re a lit) feet up in this lighthouse. Frank: Yeh! And won’t it be sweet if we can’t get the light working and so have to climb down those stairs again in the dark? I’d rather stay 7 two days in the brig than climb those stairs again. John: I think it’s safe now to strike a match and we can try to fix the light. Frank: Here’s the match. Lift that globe will ya, so I can light the wick. John : The light is all right I guess. But Jim doesn’t seem to be around. Well, we can till the light up and pray that it stays light for a night. Frank: Everything is spick and span up here so I guess Jim took care of the light today and be- sides here’s a cloth on the oil drum that shows that he’s been up here. John: Poor Jim. I guess he got kind of sick of the job and quit. Well, anyway when we puli into port tomorrow, we’ll notify the authorities and they’ll send another man here. Let’s get go- ing. I think the men on the boat will get worried. Frank: Let them get worried. I’m having a good time and besides we haven’t been here more than an hour. John: Let’s go. Frank: Aye, aye, Sir! Down this ladder is what gets me. Ouch! Quit stepping on my fingers. Well, going down stairs ain’t too bad. John: We have to lift that trap up don’t we? Frank: Yeh, but I can’t find it.

Frank: You’re Jim? Light a lantern so we can see you. Jim: There, you sea-dogs, you ought to know who I am. Frank: Why you good-for-nothing son of a sea- cook. And to think that John and I came all the way from shore just to light that light. From now on stay off of that sofa. And do a little work. By the way have that sofa removed. I almost broke my shinbone on it. John: Phew, what a relief that is! — Joseph Girard THE SNOWFLAKE It floated ' very slowly down, A little flake of snow, As if it wondered where to light. And didn’t really know. And as it rested on the hedge, I though of so many things: Of meadows that would soon be white, Of winter winds that sing, Of wreaths with scarlet berries bright, Of Christmas trees aglow, And all because it found our yard, That tiny flake of snow. — H. Terlikoski RAIN Wet leaves gilded by pale lights The ghostly drumming of rain, Dim shadows gliding in the dark Across the eerie window pane. Ghosts in fog, advancing from the river, Needle points of rain on virgin snow, Surprised brooks hurrying by the wayside To meet forbidding lakes below. Serpents of lightning writhing from the heaven, The thunder’s ceaseless plaint of sorrow, Ominous waters ever rushing earthward To bring disaster on the morrow. A gentle drizzle caressing all the green Like soothing hands to comfort now the sod, The varied change of the falling raindrops, All the handiwork of God. — Helen Zayac ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS No general formula can be made for the success- ful accomplishment of all things. Men differ; so do conditions. Success, in my opinion, seems to be the full achievement of any object one might have in view. There are numerous elements of success without which a person is not likely to prosper; ability, tact, absolute integrity, perseverence, creat- ing and organizing ability; but above all, work is most important. It is well to keep in mind the ancient Latin adage, “Labor conquers all things.” It is very true that the more ability one possesses the greater are his chances for success, yet this ability is useless without well-directed, persistent, and judicious application. The successful man possesses the ability to earn a competence for himself and his dependants. How- ever, the mere acquisition of wealth is not in the least the only test of success. Theodore Roosevelt, himself a brilliant political figure, said, “Success- ful statesmen, soldiers, sailors, historians, explorers, poets, and scientific men are far more essential than any successful financial genius.” Success might, then, be defined as the honest achivement of having been of some service to the world, to your family, or friends, terminating in a career of unblemished character. Be sincere in all your endeavors. Decide what you will do — stick to it and be tactful in doing it. The average person with an average family back- ground cannot expect to excell in any particular field, but if he shows character, and if he has made up his mind not only to overcome a thousand ob- stacles, but to endure a thousand defeats and re- pulses, he may become very proficient in his chosen field. Success lies in the full exercise of our tal- ents to the best advantage. Much of success de- pends largely upon the little things in life. In the words of John Pierpont Morgan, “Energy may fail, judgment may fail, but the MAN himself comes to the rescue.” — Harold LaChapelle “AMERICA FOR ME” Yes; America for me; where there’s love in the air; and music to fill our hearts with joy; where war is a game; where democracy is upheld; and dictator- ship is a sin. I love America because we can think as we please; say what we please; and vote as we please. Europe is a machine that has many short circuits and ter- minal troubles. Life is a nightmare; and freedom is death. I love America for what it is and for what it can be. America for me, where in our homes young patriots are born and not young Communists! I love America because this is my home and I would never want to be born or to live in any other land. — Harold Campbell PAGE FIFTY-ONE TURN E R S F ALES HI G H S C H () O L Y E A R ROOK — 193 S THE FACULTY First Row — Miss Ayer, Miss Clark, Miss Townsley, Miss Porter, Mr. Wrightson, Miss Lindsay, Miss Reum, Miss MeGillicuddy, Miss Teed.

Again Miss Teed deserves high praise for a splendid presentation. This year’s play was extremely difficult because of the un- usually large number of speaking parts, twenty- eight in all. Paul Wattles played the part of Francois Villon, the hero, who was a poet, scholar, vaga- band, and patriot. Opposite Paul in the role of the lovely Katherine de Vaucelle was Betsy Bankwitz. Andrew Kocinski, as King Louis XI, made the cruel king, a living figure, and we will long remember Andrew’s remarkable facial ex- pressions. Myles Johnson took the part of Triston, the king ' s right hand man. Joseph Girard made a very convincing villain (Thibault) in his bright scarlet robes. Louis Pogoda gave a capital performance as Noel le Jolys, the self- satisfied courtier, as did Wallace Stebbins as Olivier le Dain. The majority of the characters were the friends of Francois Villon. John Sojka (Rene de Montigny), Albert Giknis (Guy Tabarie), Bartholomew Vivier (Colin de Cay- eulx), Ted Aitken (Johan le Loup), Harold Mc- Carthy (Casin Cholet), Roland Fritz (Petit Jean), were all the followers of Francois. Harold Fugere (Robin Turgis) as the inn keeper scored a big hit with the audience. Francois was also very popular with the women. With Ann Monkiewicz (Jehanneton), Sylvia Podling (Blanche), Faustina Marino (Guillemette), Ber- nince Campbell (Isabeau), and Rita Guilbault (Denise), who added much to the life and color of the play. Bernadette O’Connell did a splendid job with the difficult part of Hugette. Helen Terlikoski had a short role as Mother Villon. Harold LaChappelle took the part of the astrologer while Max Solomon and Emanuel Cohen made excellent heralds in their stunning uniforms. Robert Gingras portrayed the Captain of the Watch in stately fashion. Alice Kallins made a very noble queen in her royal robes. 1 he pages, Alice Billings, Marion Greene, Doro- thy Lazars, and Antoinette Waraksa, remained so motionless that they resembled statues. Laurels also go to those behind the scenes, namely, the Shebell twins who made all the furniture, Walter Monkiewicz, Viola Belado, Julia Quinn, Ellen Hanley and also to the head usher, Jacob Stotz, for their active cooperation in making their play a success. Mr. Bickford and the orchestra played selections between the scenes. Mr. Noe Regali is again to be thanked for the full set-up of the garden scene. The first scene opened in a tavern in the slums of Paris where Francois Villon is surrounded by his friends. He expresses his desire to become king, and he tells of a beautiful l ady he has met. His dream lady, Katherine de Vaucelle then en- ters and asks Francois to kill Thibault D’Ausigny whom she is being forced to marry. Francois kills Thibault but is dragged off by friends of the king and the next morning Francois finds himself dressed in royal robes and in the place of King Louis XI. He is told that he will have all the powers of a king for a week but then he must die. In his week of power Francois wins the favor of his friends and they promise to fight for the king against Burgundian troops whom they succeed in defeating. Before the battle Katherine de Vaucelle tells Francois that she loves him. However, when she learns what he is and has done her pride is hurt and she tells him that she never wants to see him again. The next day Francois is to be h ung but the king proclaims that he may go free if anyone is will- ing to die in his place. Katherine enters and offers to sacrifice her life for the one she truly loves. The king, touched by the sentiment and love of the two, pardons them both and the cur- tain falls.

No student is eligible unless he has taken two years of French, and he must maintain a “B average,. Any third year student or anyone who has had at least two years of French, and a “B average, though he may not now be studying French, is eligible. All meetings, under the capable direction of Miss Florence Porter, were conducted in French. This year the officers were: President, Harold Fu- gere ; Vice-President, Robert Bourdeau; Secre- tary, Helen Parks ; and Treasurer, Dorothy Simkus. The Christmas party, one of the outstanding events of the year, was held in the auditorium with thirty-six members present. The stage decorations consisted of a Christmas tree, fire- place. and the letters “Joyeux Noel” were at- tached to the curtain. Readings and poems about Christmas were given in French, games were played, and French carols were sung. Pere Noel, Santa Claus, who was Joseph Girard, dis- tributed gifts to all those who had been good during the past year. Consequently all the members received presents, such as combs, lolly- pops, and trinkets of all kinds. Another interesting meeting was the present- ation of “La Maternelle” one of the French movies that played for many months in New York. The public was invited upon payment of ten cents, the regular dues of members. Towns- people as well as students attended and all en- joyed the film. In the spring the French club had a luncheon in the High School Cafeteria. The tables were decorated and each one found at his place a menu trimmed with blue, white, and red, the colors of the French flag. After a short busi- ness meeting the group sang “Alouette” and “La Marseillaise.” Mr. Ernest Soccjuet gave a talk on places of interest in France and he told us many facts about the country itself. He illus- trated these with pictures which were passed around. This type of meeting proved especially popular and much fun as we tried to speak in French throughout the meal. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT YEAR BOOK 1 !) 3 X TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL COMMERCIAL CLUB The officers of our Commercial Club were : President, Marion Greene ; Vice-president, Ernestine Welcome; Secretary, Helen Zayac ; and Treasurer, Lucille Rivet. The membership committee was made up of Amelia Kawecki, Sylvia Podling, and Rita Guilbault. The chairman of the entertainment committee was Anna Schab. This year our club has witnessed three interesting plays: “The Trailer of Errors,” “The Dotted Line,” and “The Third Degree,” all designed to dramatize business attitudes, customs, practices, and contacts ; and to make instructions in business subjects more helpful, real, and interesting. Let us now turn to our contests. First we had a contest in speed and accuracy in typing, and she who had the best mark, received a prize. Second, we conducted a charity contest. She who earned the most money for this worthy cause was the prize winner. And now for our good times ! We have held three afternoon tea parties, and to each one a member of our club would escort a member of the faculty. Although we had a little ill-luck with the weather on each one, I am sure that the guests and their hostesses had a wonderful time. Then came our Valentine Dance. Here there was fun and joy for every- one, as there was a full moon, the music was wonderful, and the weather was fine, so what more could they want. As for the Commercial Department, we have had a very busy year. First we were engaged 1 in making Christmas cards for other members of the class. Next, we made dififerent notebooks, and last but not least “Mother Day cards, all of which showed that the Commercial Department is made up of some very artistic students. The advisers of this Commercial Club are Miss Packard, Miss Little, and Miss Shea, and may this department flourish forever as it has for this past year under their supervision.

Although not Valley League winners the In- dians have one consolation and that is, that the league contenders were always afraid of being upset by these boys. This was one of the hardest baseball seasons for Coach Lorden due to the loss of men through graduation, lack of experienced pitching mater- ial and the tightening up of the headmasters’ ruling. Coach Lorden had a great deal to do, since seven regulars were lost through gradua- tion and two more this year were over the age limit. Surrounded by a group of rookie players, the coach had to start from the beginning to mould a team and although he did not attain a one hundred per cent winning combination he did succeed in making a fighting machine of “never - give-up-boys.” Hundreds cheered this team in the Greenfield games when these lads started a drive for runs that robbed their rivals of two nourishing slices of the Valley League’s leading honors. According to many, the best that these lads could do was to give the league contenders a few unpleasant afternoons. So far, according to the fans, the Indians have fulfilled this first part of the prediction, having upset the league leader, Greenfield, in two tilts by a score of 7-5 in the first game that went eleven innings and winning the second by a score of 4-1 in ten innings. They maybe hopeless tailenders this year but next year dust of? the top position for this group of fighting lads. But before this season becomes history, they are quite likely to gain a pretty good position in the league. As the year book goes to press, the Indians have won to date, five games, defeating Gard- ner, Westfield, Orange, and Greenfield twice. When the team fails to register a victory the fans do the anvil chorus so loudly that the In- dians just turn around and boot some league leader from its top position. Apparently things haven’t changed greatly and with a little more practice and experience this group of ambitious lads should be fighting for the top position next year. Ball clubs that seem to be hopelessly outclassed at the begin- ning usually turn out to be the smoothest run- ning baseball machinery of the year in the end. • Their coach, Earl Lorden, has a reputation as a worker of diamond miracles by developing an unpolished team into league winners. So, dust of? a corner in the trophy room for that league trophy next year. PAGE SIXTY-SIX T URNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAH B O 0 K I !) 3 8 BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM First Row — C. Kulch, G. Couture, E.

The Turners Falls High School football team ended a successful season of seven victories, one tie, and one defeat, and defeated Greenfield High 13-12 in the annual Turkey Day classic. Although this year’s team did not cop the W estern Massachusetts Championship, they will be remembered as one of the finest teams ever to don a blue and white uniform. The team spirit was excellent and they fought hard for every game. The Powertown opened the season with a victory over Adams High, followed by another victory over Branford, Connecticut. Springfield Tech removed the Indians’ scalp but to counteract this, Turners defeated a strong Gardner team. The team next played a tie game with Agawam but the remainder of the season was just a series of victories with Westfield, Athol, Holyoke, and Greenfield suffering the consequences. This year’s team gained much praise for its strong run- ning and defensive power. The passing attack was not brilliant but was consistently good for long gains. Again Mr. Lorden is to be praised for turn- ing out a fine team and may his next year’s team see only victories. PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR ROOK 19 3 8 TENNIS TEAM First Row — W.

This year found our tennis team a member of the Valley League for the second year, and up to this writing our boys have still to win a league match this year. ' Coach Walz found himself at the start of the season surrounded by “rookies” who have developed into scrapy fighters. As we go to press the tennis team has taken Athol by 4-1, tied Orange 3-3 and lost two Valley League games to Holyoke and Chicopee by a 1-4 count. The Indians broke even m two matches with Easthampton losing the first 1-5 and taking the second by 4-2. Westfield was then tied 1-1, as rain halted the match. Parsons and Sicard have been the number one and two men, nobly aided by W. Gingras, T. Aitken, and R. Gingras. With W. Gingras and G. Martin- eau as a nucleus for next year’s team Coach Walz’s Warriors will be primed to finish in the first division. i’ ge siytv-mm: TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR B 0 0 K 1 9 3 8 TRACK TEAM First Row — A.

Coach Sheff has been busily engaged in the organiza- tion of his track team. Aware of the Indian’s proud record of bygone days Coach Sheff is constantly working hard to surpass those records and mould a good team. Slowly this process of moulding is progressing and next year the Indians should be able to erase the recent defeats off the blackboard and repl ce them with victories. As we go to press the team has not won or placed a good second or third in a meet. Having centered his strength around Kulis, Cadran and Bourdeau the coach met another handicap when he lost these men to baseball. This year the bulk of the team ' s strength is moulded not around an individual person but around the team as a whole in which everyone has his part to perform. So according to the experts, there are a round dozen predestined, also- rans in these meets. If that’s true, out of that dozen in a few years Turners may prove to be the potential dark horse and whisk by the winner in all the track meets.

The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational com- petence which lits him to enter some specific type of useful em- ployment. College of Business Administration Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, HANKING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of instruction, including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, professional talks by business execu- tives, and motion pictures of manufacturing processes, are used. College of Engineering Provides complete college programs in Engineering with pro- fessional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (WITH DIESEL, AERONAUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING OPTIONS), ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial ex- perience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the stu- dent is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to make business contacts which prove valuable in later years.

H S C HOOF YEAR BOOK 19 3 8 THE STANDARD OF LIVING GOES UP BUT ELECTRIC RATES STAY DOWN In no other country in the world is the standard of living so high as it is in America. And it is significant to note that, as the home has become more livable with comforts and conveni- ences which save time, youth and money, electric rates have steadily gone downward. Electricity has probably done more to liberate women from back-breaking drudgery than any other factor in our mod- ern civilization. Good news, too, is the fact that electric service costs but a few pennies a day, thus putting better living and more leisure within the reach of every woman — every home! AT YOUR SERVICE!
