We simply rode along, traversing the woodland parkways as far as possible, and feeling in the best of spirits. Finding ourselves in Medford, for want of a beiter plan, we turned towards .Xrlington. An oppor- tunity to tune up our bikes and erase a few squeaks and rattles was afforded by a half-hour stop, at the house of some old acquaintances. While there, we perused our road-map and fixed as our goal the town of Concord. As we rolled along towards Lexington, the day became hner and clearer. Being enthusiasts of bicycle riding, we could hardly have been careladen and melancholy. Besides, the ride was interesting. Approach- ing Lexington. relics ol the old colonial days began to appear. llere stood out an old, patriarchal elm tree, repatched and braced, with perhaps a bronze plate bearing some traditional tale: there a quaint old house seemed to look upon its surroundings with a dignity befitting its age. fSuch houses frequently bore a sign advertising antiques as their waresl. Lexington Common proved a delightful stopping place for a moments rest. We inspected every monument we saw, reading their inscriptions. These we found especially interesting because they were often connected with incidents in books we had read, not to speak of that ol' hist'ry book . We noticed the point where Patil Revere and his henchmen were stopped by a British patrol. The town of Lincoln, as we learned later, took us only a few seconds to cross. This may not seem so astonishing when the fact is re- vealed to you that our road crossed only a corner of Lincoln, for a distance of but one hundred yards! There was a humorous note in the reading of the signboards. At one point, the traveler is informed that he must journey seven miles to reach Concord. About a mile further on, he may trust in another ju- das and be astonished to hnd that the aforesaid town of Concord has picked itself up and retreated two miles, making a total of eight miles to go. Thus, you see, seeing is not always believing. While yet a short distance from Concord, we noticed the former home of Nathaniel llawthorne. We walked that same, soft path, up over the fir-clad hill, which he trod so many times. The whispering pines and the hemlocks were, beyond a doubt, an inspiration to him. The house was small, brown, rather old, and weatherbeaten. To me it had an odd, yet homely appearance. Indeed the whole town of Concord seemed rather picturesque. We marked the large number of ven- erable elms, which lined the roads on both sides. Farms, with all their oddities, were numerous. The old battleground, where was fought the first battle of the Revolutionary War, lies but a short distance from the center of the town, there we took ourselves, a short time after noon. The approach to the scene was walled with tall pine trees. We noticed, at the end of the pines, the shaft which tells the story of the battleg then, little by little, the view opened until we stood by the bridge and gazed on the whole panorama. The Concord River looked much the same as it must have looked on that fateful day, long ago. lt was swelled by freshets and the flat, surrounding meadows were largely inun- dated. Yet the river itself was more sluggish and placid than our own little Saugus River. The old wood- en bridge had long since been replaced by a more modern, concrete structure. A pity that the rustic old bridges must needs give way to things of stone. The finest part of the whole view was the Nlinute-Man statute. Surmounting a stone monument. stood that rugged representation of American manhood, his llintlock held ready, and his plow thrust aside. Nor did we pass by the tomb of the fallen British soldiers, for no one can say that they were lacking in bravery. As we passed on from their grave, a few sleek, gray squirrels were scampering along the stone THE YEAR BOOK wall, perhaps the very wall which sheltered some of the Yankee defendants. However, though excellent the view, our gaze wandered back again to that fine, rugged statue, and we read once more limerson's honored stanza in the inscription: By the rude bridge that arch'd the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurl'd, Here once the embattled farmers stood And tired the shot heard round the world. A. P. 'P'! I P4 I l ! Z ! I ! P'! ! P'l P4 l'+'I I !' There Are Shocks And Shocks A dingy, little Ford wheezed along an old country road. It could be called a Ford only by courtesy. Its top was in rags: its upholstery was in the same condition, while the engine had reached that stage where it didn't care whether it lived or died. However, crouched tensely over the wheel was a young girl of col- lege age, dressed in the height of fashion. Unheeding the bumps, unheeding the groanings of the tortured engine, this young lady kept steadily on down the road. While this race was on, to the south of her a steam roller was approaching, positively burning up the distance. This sight fexcept for the speedy was not strange, as the road needed leveling badly enough, but the young driver was most certainly not doing this as an occupation. Ile was well dressed, and was un- doubtedly a university student. Ile seemed under a strain, and the perspiration and dust soon made him look more like a colored gentleman than the white man he was intended to be. At that moment a train whistle was heard over to the east. Upon observation, it was found that the train consisted of only one engine and no cars. There was a young man driving it who seemed to be engineer and fireman, too. Ile had removed the coat of his business suit, and he was now getting all he pos- sibly could out of the locomotive. Suddenly the drone ol' an aeroplane was heard overhead. Soon it could be seen, a speck fast growing larger, coming from the west. In it was an aviator ol' about twenty-eight years of age. He seemed to be racing for the same objective as the others. Finally, the rickety old Ford came to a wheezing halt beside a meadow, across from which was a large rambling farmhouse. Into this building the girl ran without waiting to stop her engine. The steam roller came to a puffing halt in front of the little Ford, and its occupant ran into the farmhouse also. Short- ly afterwards, the young man who had driven the locomotive came rushing across the meadow, caught up with the aviator, who had just landed, and they followed. llowever, all four soon emerged from the house laughing in a fit of great enjoyment. Bettyl', the aviator asked of the young lady, where did you get that specimen of a conveyance which I suppose you call a Ford? She replied, Well, after I got that telegram from Mother saying, 'Come quick father had shock have News for y0u,' I just dashed out of the dormitory and took the first train to Forington. There I found I had to wait because there was a tire in a warehouse, so I jumped out. I saw no car in sight except this one which an old junkman was trying to sell to a negro. The engine was running tas the salesman was explain- ing it to his purchaserj so I rushed over, jumped into the rickety thing and went sailing off. But, of course, I'll return it, she ended soberly, with a twinkle in her eye that belied her voice. By the way, Larry, where did you get the steam roller? I didn't know you had bought one. Well, I-I rather think I did a dashing out act myself. I took a street car as far as it would gog I had to wait too long for a train, and when I saw a steam roller in the middle of the road and the road- men eating lunch, I marched over, got in and managed to get the thing started. I didn't have any idea how to stop it, and I nearly ran over the Ford before I found the combination of the pesky thing. But, jim- my, how on earth did you run off with a locomotive? jimmy grinned, First let me tell you what I was doing when I got my telegram. You know that fussy Mr. jacob Merryweather? I was having an important conference with him. I leaped over the desk, left Merry gazing after me with his mouth open and made a dash for the train yards. There I found no trains running at that time, so seeing an engine deserted, I jumped into it and let her go! It's lucky you haven't got heart trouble or didn't think of collisions, said the aviator. But per- haps you wonder what I did to get here. Well! I stole nothing, neither did I kill anyone. I only bor- rowed the Generals little scout plane that he had left at the airport while he talked with the Colonel. ' Then alter a pause he continued, If Mother had only worded that telegram differently. But the joke s on us. To think that Dad's shock was only a temporary one caused by his Hnding oil on the farm, while we ve given about fifty people an equal, if not a worse shock, in trying to get here in time. M. R.

Ah, here was one who knew that Fame Lay not in dazzling wealth or name. lrle learned that Life was something more Then earthly praise and miser's store.

They entrance one with their soft beauty, their marvel- ous coloring, their delicate petals. They simply breathe, and all the air about them is delightfully per- fumed. Alter they have gone, their fragrance lingers like a sweet memory loath to depart. Yes, we admirefeeven love the flowers for their beauty and delicate aroma, but he who is thoughtful will discern a deeper meaning in them. They are warks ol art which man, with all his knowledge and skill can never even imitate. Each tiny blossom has a message all its own to impart to mankind. Per- haps the most noticeable of these is faith. When the tiny wild flowers of early spring blossom on the hill side, in spite ol' cold and wind, is this not an exhibitioh of firm faith in their Creator? They never fear de- struction, but know that lrle in llis infinite mercy and care will watch over and protect them. Christ point- ed them out as an example when he said, Consider t're lilies of the field, how they growg they toil not neith- er do they spin, yet l say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. What greater honor could be conferred on any person o r thing? lilowers are the essence of purity, especially th: lily is innocence undefiled. The deep red rose speaks to us ol' love and loyalty. The tiny blue violet in spit: of' its seeming coquetry, tells of truth. Even the regal purple astor has its message of faith and learlessne:-s to impart, for it blooms bravely in the frost, af'- ter all others have passed. They all, especially the sunny marigolds and daisies breathe happiness into the air and into the lives of human beings. They bring out the best that is in us. Many a rough man has been known to weep at the sight of a sweet little blossom. llow many sacred memories are cherished with dried flowers! Yes, each gives its little message, but taken all together they say in a soft yet everlasting chorus, There is a God in lleaveng He is Love. E. W. S. '! ! l I ! ! l X l ! ! !''! Z ! 2 I 1f'! ! ! Z 3'tY' Balto, A Dog Hero Many people, even many with great intellectual ability, say that a dog cannot be a hero: but they should know better. We are all sure that Balto, the Alaskan musher dog, knew there were hundreds ol lives at stake when he fought so gallantly as the leader of' tire team of does that drew the serum sled successfully into Nome. There was the city in the lar North stricken with an epidemic ol diphtheria. There was the package ol serum to be delivered, somehow, to the only two people who knew how to prevent the spread ol' the disease, one doctor and one ntirse. There were drivers ready to make the trip over the snow. Do yoti not suppose the dogs realized how much depended on them? Through the widerness, lap alter lap, driver aller driver, and team alter team, went the precious packet of life-saving fluid, the toxin-antitoxin. And when tiunnar liasson's team, with brave Balto in the lead, came to the end ol' their relay which was next to the last on the schedule, missed their relief' team in the awlul storm, and decided to push on over the extra sixty mile stretch, no one can doubt Balto and his dogs understood and resolved to give their last atom of str.ugth. There is much glory for drivers Kalland, Shannon, Sepalla and the others, and for each laithlul dog who made the run. Yet liasson and Balto stand out be 5a'ise they did double duty. They are a very modest pair of' heroes. They bring to mind Admiral Peary's tribute to his noble dogs: Give equal honors to the humbler line Who shared the perils ol' the arctic night. There let the hero lay his kindly hand Upon some noble comrades shaggy mane. And deeply writ let this true legend stand: 'Except for these my quest had been in vain.' L P E YEAR BO Qsilglriir-5 E YEAR. BOOK FOOTBALL TEAM THE YEAR BOOK A if N 01' Qin? f Football The Football team started its season in a blaze of glory by giving the Danvers boys the worst heating of the season. Our boys certainly showed the goods in this game and a successful season was predicted. We then lost a few close games which seemed to take heart out of the team. lf a team ever had had luck ours certainly did, losing games with Stoneham, Winchester and Woburn by unlucky breaks. Our boys next met their friendly enemies, Melrose, who proved to have one of the best teams which ever represented that city. The Wakeheld boys more than held their own for the first quarter, but a break in favor of Melrose soon gave the latter team the lead. At Arlington, Wakefield handed the opposing team the biggest surprise when the Champs were only able to score six points in the first half. The Arlington coach highly compli- mented the Wakeheld boys. Next fall, Coach Dower will be without the services of Capt. Finney, a good leader and Hghter from start to Gnishg Dave Guarnaccia, the fastest running back in the Mystic Valley League, with the excep- tion of Flint of Melrose: Gilchrist and O'Connell, two snappy ends: Fat Thresher, who received honor- able mention hy a Woburn sport writer: Toby Tyler, one of the best all around athletes in High Schoolg llurton and Crocker, two scrappy tackles g Norman Arnold and jack North, two wide awake playersg and last but not least, Bone Randall, the terror of opposing ends. ln Capt. Tasker, who was chosen end on the All-Mystic Valley Eleven, this High School will have a smart leader for the l925 team and with the aid of Coach Dower, Wakeheld should rank well at the top for the coming season. 1924 schedule Wakelield 19 Danvers 7 Wakefield O Stoneham 6 Wakeheld 6 Winchester 7 Wakefield 0 Woburn 3 Wakeheld 0 Watertown l 5 Wakeheld 0 Melrose Z7 Wakeheld 3l Reading 6 Wakeheld 6 Arlington Z7 Wakeheld 14 Lexington 27 TH E YEAR Bo R WW 'nn Q, A fi Q , 4 4 M- ' 1 W-412 r .vi--' 5 1 rv f A '14 -281 34'- ' HIP YS' BASKETBALL TEAM BO E YEAR BOO GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Tl-I E YEAR Book Girls, Basketball Our girls' basketball did not make a name for itself until this year. lt was necessary to spend a great deal of time last year in organizing the team. With the exception of two games played with Malden the team was practically inactive. Last year the -Iuniors were the Champs so that this year practically every one of them were able to make the Grst team. Bertha Cersinovitch and Capt. Edythe Grant, since they had played together for two years as forwards, were well trained for team work. The two guards, Sam and Doris played well in every game. E. Winkler, jumping center, always did her best to get the tip ofl, while Ruth Purdy, side center certainly could cover her man. The girls on the Hrst team were very fortunate in having Alice Drugan, has an excellent chance lor the team next year. and made a good showing. The following girls came to most S.

Wakefield. playing schools far out of its class, went through the season better than was expected. Next year Coach Bemis will be without the services of North, Tyler, Cuarnaccia and liinney, and will certainly miss his first team men: but with l asker, Brewer, Salvati, Talbot, llorrigan, Newell, Robbins, Crosby, Dutton and Dulong. Wakefield should nevertheless develop an exceptionally good team. THE YEAR BOOK Cross-Country After a lapse of four years, cross-country is again established in Wakeheld High School. At the be- ginning of the year Coach Bemis called out the boys and a good number responded. Our hrst meet was with Woburn High School at Woburn. We were defeated by one point, the score be- ing 27-28. Capt. Nlclieon ran hrst all the way and won. Hannon fought hard all the way and came in up in front. Coupal, Edmands, and Marmo also hnished and placed. We then arranged a return meet with Woburn at Wakefield. We defeated the team by a score of 25-30. lVlcKeon came in first. Hannon ran a good race and beat his man to the tape. Coupal, Edmands, Marmo, Kane, Walsh, LeBlanc, and Snowdon showed up well and have the promise of being first-class runners. Our next meet was with St. john's Prep. School of Danvers. We defeated them on their own court by a score of 26-29. This was the most exciting race of the year. Mclieon finished hrst in good time. Coupal and his man ran neck and neck to the finish, Coupal winning by a few yards. Edmands ran with his man all the way and at the hnish he showed a sprint that was seldom seen on a track before. Hannon ran a very good race. He had a poor start but was soon up in the lead. Baker, the six-mile champion of Prep. schools of New York, was easily beaten by Mclieon and Hannon. Our last meet of the season was with Ringe Technical School of Cambridge. The day was the cold- est one on record, but the boys ran a very good race. We were defeated by a score of 40-22. Nlclieon fin- ished second, followed by Hannon, Coupal, and Edmands. Sardella came out for the first time and hnished in good time. The Wakefield boys found it hard to run a course without hills. Next year, the Wakefield High School will be represented by a very strong team. With the excep- tion of R. Edmands who will graduate, the team will be a veteran one and should make a strong bid for the New England Championship. THE YEAR BOOK Baseball 1925 Thirty or more candidates reported to Coach Bemis' call for practice in April. Of the thirty, Task- er, Tyler, Brewer, l5lannigan, llorrigan, Salvati, and Dulong were the only veterans. The Hrst team was soon selected by Coach Bemis. lt consisted of Tyler, c, Tasker lb, Salvati Zb, Brewer ss, Talbot 3b, Flannigan lf, Crosby cf, jazz rf, with llorrigan, North and Murphy as pitchers. Mgr. Myer Miller and Faculty Mgr. R. ll. liinder have arranged a hard schedule for this year and it will keep the boys hghting all sea- son. Mgr. Miller is hard at work and popular with the team. A successful season is predicted. 'WZ''X ! X ! Z''! Z ! X ! Xf'! P'! Z l-'! If'X !

The boys got together and practiced every fair day. We were represented in the Mystic Valley lnterscholastics in which Wakeheld scored nine points, live being one by Lluarnaccia, two by lXlartin, one by Mclieon and Sardella. On june 7, Guarnaccia and Sardella took part in the llarvard-lnterscholasticsf' ln the Spring of 1015 track was revived to a greater extent.

Besides having a larger number ol' n.w cadets we have at number ol boys who have had a year's experience and are familiar with the fundamentals The first seven months ofthe school year were spent in drilling on North Avenue when the weather permitted, otherwise in the Armoryg but now the Battalion is obliged to march to the Common where there is more room to drill on extended order and prize drill tactics. Our military instructor, Sergeant Ernest Munroe, has deemed it best to take up fewer phases of mil- itary drill and devote the time to instructing the cadets in the more important phases, such as military cour- tesy, bearing of a soldier and marching. The appearance of the Battalion is very good this year and a stiff competitive prize drill is expected as the companies are almost equal in military ability.

From six contributing editors the staff has been increased to fifteen, from seniors down to freshmen. The Booster is now three years old and quite a thriving product. This year, by way of variety, the staff has put on some novelty numbers among which the most prominent have been the Poetry, the Battalion, the junior Prom , tedited by the junior Classj, the Alum- ni number, tedited exclusively by the Alumni ofthe Wakefield High Sclioolj, the Nonsense and the Literary numbers. The Booster is edited on Friday of every week and is devoted entirely to the Propagation of School Spirit . This bulletin is not wholly for entertainment nor wholly for classic literature. lt tries to strike a happy medium and in comparison with some of the other high school papers that are sent to us for criticism from schools of good standing, the Booster ranks highly. lf the Boosters literary column has not yet reached its desired goal, it wants the reader to remember that it is striving for it. lt is of a higher standing already than some of its sister papers and as our school grows, we hope our Booster will grow with it. For the past three years the f'Booster has had very good editors and competent staffs. A good deal of the praise tif the Booster is to receive anyj goes to Mr. Arthur Fulton of the faculty. Every week, the material for the paper goes into Mr. Fulton's capable hands for his censorship, and many a time when contributions have been rather scant, Mr. Fulton has generously given his time to Hll in the vacant columns with witty poems and sayings. The senior class, and especially the editor-in-chief and the seniors on the Booster staff extend their best wishes for a prosperous and thriving Booster for the coming years. +9++++++++i+++++++++++++ Officers' Party The annual Officers' Party which took place in the high school gym , Friday, january I6, was one of the best ever staged in Wakefield. The attraction of the evening, the grand march, composed of Wakefield, Gloucester and Woburn officers, was led by Major Myrton Finney and Miss Doris Duley. The delicate and gay hues of the girls' evening gowns produced an effective contrast against the khaki of the oflicers' uniforms. During intermis- sion, as a special feature, an exhibition drill by a selected company from the battalion was carried out splen- didly under the supervision of Captain Walter Barry. This exhibition drew very favorable criticisms from the officers of the above mentioned schools. Mrs. Finney, Mrs. Barry, Mrs. liaton, and Miss llelen Crocker of the faculty were the matrons. McPartland's Orchestra furnished very good music. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Senior Valentine Party One of the most delightful and successful partigs ever held in the high school, was the Senior Party, which took place February litli, in the gym in the form of a Valentine Party. The decorations which were attractive creations of red and white, revealed much care on the part of the decorators. After the introduction to the matrons who were Mrs. McCloskey, Mrs. ll. W. Smith, Mrs. E. A. Smith, Mrs. Maroney, and Miss Lillian llurley of the faculty, the students and their friends danced until midnight. Very good music was furnished by lDi'ugan's orchestra. During intermission, Myrton Finney, Norman Arnold, llari'y Tounge and Louis Amiro, members of the senior class, furnished a clever bit of amusement with their Bedlam Orchestra which concluded with a clog dance by llarry Tounge. lfmily Smith then gave a charming reading entitled, The Lay of Lothario lee , which was enjoyed by all, as were the two dainty toe-dances by Carolyn lleains which followed. Among the special features of the evening, were the balloon dance, when red and white balloons were floated down from the balcony and the novelty dance, when colored streamers and variotts atti'active favors were showered on the dancers. lidith Dowling and Walter Barry were the fortunate cottple in the elimination dance. Th committee in charge, which was composed of Lores McCloskey, limily Smith, Mae lXlaroney, liunice Smith, Irma Foster, llarry Tounge, Fred Rich, Norman Arnold, lzdith Dowling and llelen Clothey. e Senior Class should be congratulated on its Prom and much credit, without doubt, is due the THE YEAR BOOK Boys' Debating Club Only ten boys attended the first meeting of the Boys' Debating Club on Tuesday, November -l, in the Wakeheld High School. The following otlicers were elected: President, Lores McCloskey. Xice President, john Roach. Secretary, joseph Sardella. The society is under the supervision of Mr. liisher of the faculty and it has worked very enthusiasti- cally, belonging now to the Mystic Yalley Boys' Debating League. The boys tested their mettle in a de- bate with the Girls' Debating Club, on May ZS, in assembly. The question debated was Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished. However, that is all that can be said here, as we went to press before the debate took place. ++++++++++++++++9+++++++ Girls' Debating Club The Girls' Debating Club of the W. ll. S. nas organized under the sponsorship of hliss Elizabeth Ingram, ofthe faculty, and under the supervision of .Xliss li. Olive llirst, also ol' the faculty. This is the tirst girls' debating club that has been formed in the XVI I. S. for several years. The otlicers elected are as fol- lows: President, Doris Duley. Vice President, Virginia Ulrici. Recording Secretary, Katherine jakeman. Corresponding Secretary, Pauline Peterson. A constitution was drawn up by the executive statf and approved by the club members. The follow- ing questions have been debated with much enthusiasm during the year: That an amendment be added to the constitution giving Congress the power to limit, prohibit, and regulate the labor of persons under eigh- teen: That the Volstead Act be repealed: That immigration should be further restricted by law: That capital punishment be abolished in U. S.: That U. S. government should own and operate the railroads, That an income tax is a just and proper means of raising money for the government. The girls have done their work without any coaghing and are to be congratulated on the success of their debates. They tried their metal in a debate against the boys in assembly on May ZS. The club from a membership of fourteen chose three girls to represent them in this event. Dorothy Butler, Pauline Peterson, and Virginia Ulrici took the affirmative side ofthe question, Resolved: that capital punishment be abolished in U. S., against the negative upheld by Lores McCloskey, john Roach, and William Butler. ++?6+?++++++++++++++++++ The School Council What is the school council? lt consists ofa body of students, elected by the pupils, together with Mr. Peterson and three teachers appointed by him who act as advisors. This year the advisors besides Mr. Peterson are Miss Donovan, Miss Gilmore, and Mr. Fisher. The students elected to represent the various classes are: Boit Brennon, Mildred Conohan, Wadsworth Allyn, Leonard Loughlin, ltlope McCloskey, Daniel Robbins, Edythe Grant, Ruth Purdy, llelen Ramsdell, .'Xrthur Newcomb, Robert Dutton, Clyde Tyler, james lVlcTeague, Lillian Comee, Harold Decker, Carolyn Woodman, Muriel Emery, Ethel Batten, Maurice Ander- son, Doris Crabiel, George Perry, Eunice Smith, Barbara Hill, Alden Crocker, Aletha Whitney, Ruth Ober, Dorothy C. Butler, William Butler, and john Roach. At the meetings of the council, problems, suggssted by the members themselves or by the principal, are discussed. These problems pertain to matters relative to the conduct and welfare of the school. When the council decides upon a certain course of action, the movement is explained to the students of the school, usually by Mr. Peterson in assembly period. The school is asked to cooperate with the council in carrying out the project. lt then becomes the business of each member of the council to see that the policy recome mended is followed. lf one of the members of the council asks a pupil to do anything necessary to the carrying out of the plan, he represents the principal an .T expects to receive the best of co-operation from the student. .This body was formerly called the Student Council but recently the name has been changed to School Council which, it is thought, is a more comprehensive and exact title.

Austin Bevans tinds himself owner of Fair- view School, a boarding school lor girls. Mr. johns, his lawyer, wants to relieve him, but Bevans will not change his mimi as he has decided views on girls' education. ln Act ll Mr. Bevans arrives at the school to take charge of it as professor, and gives all his friends places as professors. lzhse, niece ol johns, falls desperately in love with him and believing her love is re ltssed she runs away. Bevans decides to go alter her. Alter hours ol anxious waiting, l.:hse is lound and brought back by Bevans. ln the last scene Austin tells Elise that she is silly and aggravating but admits that she has CllARM T Ronald Sherman was quite convincing in his pa 'tg Lores McCloskey, his lawyer, was also good as were Leonard joll and Rudolph Peterson, while Harry Tounge and Louis .Xmiro took their parts with ease and caused the audience to be amused during the entire perlorinance. Christine Crabiel was all her part was supposed to represent, with a dignity that was refreshing and natural, while Catherine Sullivan, her secretary, fell hopelessly in love with every male in sight in the most approved old maid style. The girls from Emily Smith down to Mae Maroney, were just girls, happy, youthful, and mischiev- ous. While much credit is due the cast and all who assisted, undoubtedly Miss Lillian llurley. the coach, contributed most in time and etlort to making the production the decided success it was. lhose who had the opportunity ol taking part acquired a splendid training. The play was presented a second time, on january 0. The proceeds from the lirst performance netted 115233.30 which is now in the class treasury. From the second presentation lFl29,55 was received. This has been turned over to Mr. Peterson who is planning to purchase a stereopticon lor the school, which will be a gift lrom the Class ol l9Z5. TI-IE YEAR BOOK Music With the advantages of the new building, music, which is under the direction of Mr. jones, has taken a most decided turn for the better. Undoubtedly, this year more has been done to promote this worth- while activity than in any previous year. The Girls' Clee Club now has fifty-nine members. This is the largest Clee Club we have had in the school for several years. Miss Gilmore is sponsor of the club. We also have a school orchestra which has twenty-three members and is doing splendid work. lt fur- nishes music every week at our assembly period and re:ently played before the members of the Rotary Club. When the Senior class presented The Charm School , the orchestra assisted. A concert was given by these youthful musicians and the Girls' Clee Club in the High School Audito- rium. May l5. This gave the public a splendid opportunity to note the progress that has been made in music during the past year at the Wakeheld High School. +4+++i++++++9++++++++9+9 The Commercial Club The Commercial Club is a new organization in W. H. this year. lt is composed primarily of stu- dents in the commercial course, although any pupil tal-:ing two or more commercial subjects is eligible to membership. Mr. Dower, head of the Commercial Department, is advisor of the club with all the commercial teach- ers as honorary members. The ofhcers are: President ..,....,........,.. Robert Salvati Vice-President ........ .... ...Fred Rich Secretary .,,,..,,...... ,... . ....,.. R uth Harnden Treasurer ..,..................i................................ . ..... .... . .....,... T homas Mclieon Reporter ............,,............ ..........................,,.. . .. . . ..., Thomas Walsh The president has appointed several committees, which are planning many events for the near future. The club is considering presenting a play in assembly. Plans are also under way for a social. The main purpose of the club, however, is to give the members a broader and more comprehensive knowledge of the commercial held. Mr. Dower intends to secure business men to speak at the meetings, to have demonstrators explain and demonstrate various ofiice appliances. and to have exhibition of speed work in typewriting and shorthand, both by experts and pupils. '++++++++++++++++++++++++ Junior Prom Undoubtedly the Class of '26 staged the best Prom. on record, in the history of the new High School, in the school gymn on Friday, April 17. Everything bordered on the patriotic nature in honor of Patriots' Day and the gym decorated with innumerable flags and banners was most attractive. Contrary to custom of recent years, fthe grand march having been abolished at all the High School dancesj President Walter Barry led off the grand march with Miss Edith Dowling, in which the lovely colors of gowns, mingled with dark suits, made a striking scene. At the close of the grand march, dance orders were given out by Miss Betty Ulrici, who made a charming miniature Miss Liberty in her costume of red, white and blue, and Robert Purdy dressed as Uncle Sam. The orchestra then began music for dancing which continued as usual until the fifth dance when again the music swung into march time and the couples received paper hats and favors. The favors, too, showed the original note which characterized the evening. The girls received delightful little paper parasols and colored shakers, and the boys, blowers. Then more surprise. Instead of the usual entertainment of speaking and solo dancing at intermission, the committee gave a burlesque on Paul Revere's Ride . Luis Anderson made a splendid Paul and, when mounted on his worthy steed fconsisting of Walter Barry and john Roachj stirred the imagination of the audience. Philip Potter made a very realistic moon which rose o'er the bay , and Irving Melendy, as Paul Revere's friend , climbed the tower of the Old North Church , represented by a rickety stepladder, and held aloft the lanterns. The impersonation of how the Redcoats gave them ball for ball was very effective with rubber balls on elastic, and ended in a grand climax with the farmers routing them from the scene. Miss Ethel Batton read the poem as it was acted. The entire effect was very clever and showed the interest and earnest work of the committee.
