ATHLETIC COMMITTEE It is universally realized that it is important for a school to train sound bodies as well as sound minds. For this reason the Athletic Committee is a strong and necessary organization, determining the school policy in regard to sports, and awarding of varsity letters and numerals. It is invaluable for its promotion of good sportsmanship. This year, in order to have equal representation in this organization, the committee, ably supervised by Coach Goodrich with the as- sistance of the other coaches, was elected to represent various sports. Chairman William Ricker Secretary Esther Gove l32l FOOTBALL Coach Robert Craney Captain james Mcfoomb illanager Edward Flanagan The VValpole High School football team, coached by Mr. Graney and his assistant, Mr. Goodrich, had a most successful season. The team worked as a single unit centered around our spirited leader, Captain Jim Mcflomh, to whom, if anyone should he singled out, a great deal of credit is due. Our record for the season was five wins, two ties, and one loss, which is a decided improvement on the showings of teams in the immediate past, but which we think can he bettered by teams in the future. The student hody and the townspeople also are to he complimented for the fine support which they gave the team. I l,33l GIRLS' FIELD HOCKEY Fnnrh Mildred XVallaf'e t apmir1 Anne Hennessey lllllflltgfff' Mary Dawson This year VV. H. can well be proud of the Girls' Field Hockey squad lor the team work and sportsmanship shown while playing the swiftest hockey hall. We were fortunate in having a team comprised of many who could master the hockey stick, and dribble and scoop the hall down the field to victory. It was a full scheduled season of keen Competition,and much of our success was due to the interested and excellent Coaching of Miss VVallace. XVe leave a record ol' three wins, four ties, and one loss, and wish the future team an even more snccessful season. I34! BASKETBALL Cnaclz Arthur Vhristie Captain VVillian1 Rick:-r illlmagri' john Flynn Vlialpole entered the newly formed Bay State Baslcethall League this season. This is made up of six teanis,and we played ten games, two with each team. iiornpetition is keener in a league such as this, and it was intensified lay the individual trophies offered. The VValpole quintet, coached hy Mr. Vhristie and vaptained hy Hill Ricker, finished in fourth place. Of the ten league games played, lout' were won and six lost. while we hroke even in non-league games,winning two and losing two. Next year's outlook is hope-ful,as several seasoned veterans are re- turning with some others who look promising. t H51 ICE HOCKEY Cmzrlz Rolwert Grancy Crzptain john Timmins -lfzmager Harold Mott This season it was necessary to turn the much coveted Lawson Trophy over to a stronger Framingham team. Incidentally, the Framingham squad was coached by the donor of this trophy. As the Hilltoppers were the defenders, they were probably harder pressed, to prevent a repetition of last season. Vllalpole was successful, however, in gaining a play-off berth and finally ended in fourth place. The team, coached by Mr. Graney and captained by slack Timmins, won two, tied two, and lost three. VVith the strong sophomore team returning, we hope to regain the title. not TRACK Coczflz Edward Powers C0-f.'lLPflll'11S George Streechon Foster Tucker .llanager Leon Ballou The 1939 Track Team, led by Co-Captains Foster Tucker and George Streechon, strove to attain the heights of the team of '38. This team was paced by faptain VVilliam Maguire and Bill Ray. It was probably the greatest team ever to sport the Blue and VVhite. The outstanding performers of that team who contributed to the year's success were Streechon, Tucker, Onion, Procaccini, Flower, and Dray. Other point-getters of the year's team were VValtonen, Pechulis, Binkiewicz, Allen, Silvestri, Legge, and Daniels. The team of 1939 wishes the team of 1940 continued success. l37l TENNIS C,'0dCf1 Harold Sf-arles C 'f1111m1'n Frederick Layton Tennis is a relatively new sport at Wlalpole High. VVe are slightly handi- capped by not having courts of our own, but are fortunate in being able to play on the six courts at Francis Vtlilliam Park. Under the able coaching of Mr. Searles, the team had a successful season last year, playing two matches apiece with Attleboro, Dean Academy, Norwood, VVrenlham, and Fantong losing to Attlehoro twice and to Canton once. VVith three Seniors, Fred Layton, Pete Segel, and Bob Wight, and one junior, Al Campbell, left from last year's squad, the outlook for a successful season this year is Very favorable. l 33 I GIRLS' TENNIS Clllllifll llora XValton Captain listher Govt- .lflanrzger lileanor Leger 'l't-nnis for girls is one of the newest sports in Walpole High.

For the past three seasons the teams have been coached by Mr. Searles. All home games have been played at the Walpole Country Club, and we are fortu- nate in being able to practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the season. Last year the Walpole team played ten matches and were successful in winning 5, tying 2, and losing 3. The outlook for '39 is good, as there are several seasoned golfers returning. Mr. Sevarles has a full season planned, and we hope the season will be a successful one. A l40l BASEBALL Coarh Sheldon Goodrich C'ap!a'1f11 john lVlacl.eocl ,llanager Thomas Mahoney The outcome of last year's baseball season was a triple tie for first place. The two teams sharing top honors with us were Norwood and Milford. Grad- uation carried most of our regulars with it,leaving but a single infield man, Novick, who graduated in '38, is making his debut into the major league. liven though there aren't many veterans returning, we do not fear the outcome. VVith so many positions open, there will be some splendid oppor- tunities for any who are interested and show ability. Perhaps we can break up this triple tie, which is rather unsatisfactory. l41l .. ,--, 'Q . 0' . 6. f may! ,fgas -JI. up J ik: ir, . -.u:.1.',,..A 1' '1 55' f'- .FQ gfw' ' F 'git ' ' ' 4. :' r ' vm - . ii' 12. 1 H:?.

VVe wish the future classes even greater success in their presentations. l 43 l ORCHESTRA The orchestra attracts many students who have musical talent. It was established ten years ago under the supervision of Mr. Adelhert Morse, our present director, and plays for many school activities and local entertainments. The flass of '39 wishes the orchestra continued success in their performances. JAZZ ORCHESTRA The jazz orchestra is directed hy Arnold Davis, a Senior and also pro- fessional pianist. This orchestra is greatly appreciated since it plays for noon- time dancing in the gym. l49l SPORTSMANSHIP BROTHERHOOD The Sportsmanship Brotherhood is considered one of the most valuable organizations in VValpole High. Its purpose is to stimulate and encourage the spirit of good sportsmanship in school and in everyday life. It is an international organization. The aim of the organization is to follow the Code of Sportsmanship which includes: Keep the rules. Keep faith with your comrades. Keep your temper. Keep a stout heart in defeat. Keep your pride under in victory. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body. Play the game. Membership is awarded to students Who, in the opinion of the faculty, practice the code of a sportsman. We hope that the Sportsmanship Brother- hood will become an active organization in the future. l50l BAND The band is a new and entirely welcome organization in Walpole High. At present there are thirty-six members: three are Seniors: Robert Wight, Frank Allen, and Eugene Scammon. Under the capable direction of Mr. Kravitz, it made its first public appearance early in the winter at the Boston Arena. This organization develops actual musical ability, a spirit of comradeship and unity, and acts as a concentrated example of school spirit. Attractively attired in blue and white military caps and capes, the band should provide color and, inspiration at future athletic contests, assemblies, and rallies. That it is able now, to give the high-grade performance it does, speaks well for its future and it has the hearty support of the class of '39, l51l 1 M -:f::-:-:nf ,qi-.ig -Q - .611-121.54 ak -. . 5:?E1i2:Q'Q5f':, 15.12.-A , Q, 1 tuu::nlc: o 'Ulf ' , ,- . .'ggg...gg..?G 4 ., '.-...

Years in which history has been made, new records completed, experiences lived and passed over. We, the Class of. '39, must go on to higher institutions of learning, to positions in homes or business organizations, to face life as only a graduate of Walpole High is equipped to do. We do not deny that our four years here have aided us tremendously, nor can we deny that many will be the heartaches and fond remembrances which we experience in later years as we look back over our youth. Here at the Hill Top we have made some of our fondest and most everlasting friendships, here we have lived through some of the happiest years of our life. One hundred and seventy-four bewildered Freshmen, a large class for Walpole High, streamed through the halls that day in September as we were finally launched on our illustrious high school career. We say bewildered for more than one student will have to admit that at times his exact whereabouts were not quite clear to him those first few days. Aside from this minor trouble, Lyndon Welch's verbosity. in Miss Frye's English class was a major item in the Frosh wonder class, to say nothing of Maestro Davis' ability at the piano. In short-ours was a class to be noticed. Joy of all joys! Class elections upon genuine paper ballots for candidates nominated in a previous primary. The officers chosen to lead our class through that important first year were Carl Hagbloom, John MacLeod, Lorraine Sadler, and Mary Dowd. A large Freshman class contributed to an equally large Glee Club in a great way, and of course, was largely responsible for the stellar performance of the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. And just to prove that the class of '39 had brawn as well as other virtues, they were represented on the football squad by Bud Onion and Dave Bateson. With a clanking of chains and the merry peal of Christmas bells, Dickens' Christmas Carol was presented, and Frannie Maguire upheld the class honor by playing a part in this charming and well known classic. So it was with these high spots that the Freshman class went success- fully through its first year, and one hundred and forty-nine bowed out gracefully to be accepted as worldly Sophomores the next September. Class officers were again elected, and this time they proved to be Jack Flynn, John MacLeod, Barbara Goodrich, and Wanda Geigle. Again the class destined to bring sports glory to Walpole High was well represented on the various sport teams, and Anne Hennessey of the Girls' Hockey Team was successful enough to rate a letter. Other class members who should receive mention are Bud Onion, Red MacLeod, Wardy LaCivita, and jack Timmins, all destined to become our great football stars. This year the Glee Club, for the first time in its history, presented two operettas which were most successful, undoubtedly because Phyllis, Herland, Bud Allen, Louis Lorusso, and Dick Heileman received principal parts, and in all respects upheld their end .of the bargain admirably. l54l About this time we received an unexpected vacation due to unseen, odd, and interesting developments. Of course we all remember that exciting day when the ceiling of Mr. Christie's room collapsed. What a break for us weary pupils when the townspeople decided to make the remaining ceilings secure! We didn't feel so elated, however, when we found our Saturday mornings would pay for that unexpected vacation. Truly, anything of importance after that startling event of the falling ceiling would be anti-climax, so let us move on to that important third year, wherein one hundred and thirty-five attained that certain dignity which is so characteristic of Juniors. When the smoke of class elections had cleared up, the following proved to be officers: Bob Clark, jack Flynn, Barbara Goodrich, and Wanda Geigle. Our class representation on various first teams caused Walpole High to enjoy a successful year on the athletic field. We might make special note of the glorious feat of Bay State League Hockey championship, and of the three-way tie our baseball team managed to wrangle for the baseball championship of the same league. We might also make mention of that great banquet and those nifty jackets tendered the hockey team by an appreciative townspeople. This junior year several of our class were admitted to the Honorary Society, thus upholding the brains, as well as the brawn, of our little family. Among our brilliant members, Lyndon Welch and Ray Bock entered a nation wide League of Nations' contest and received no less than honorary mention. And let's not forget that our future Pulitzer Prize Winner, Dick Heileman, outdid himself in the American Youth Forum contest, and became the possessor of an honorary certificate. One of the first activities sponsored by us was the Junior rollerskating party which went over with a bang-and we said over, not down! Next on the list of run around was the junior Dance which was patronized by the Big Apple, then in its prime. The gym held quite a few that night, and the junior coffers swelled. Last but not least in the hearts of our class came the big event of the year, the Junior Promenade. Amidst much activity and bustle, the various committees pulled through admirably, and a swell dance was held. Will we ever forget that endless grand march? With the Prom as the jumping off place, let us land into the beginning of that last glorious year when we, those erstwhile Freshmen have become the nobility of the school. Seniors all, one hundred and thirty of us, and no matter what the cynical say, we'll miss the school as much next year as we hope it will miss us. The class officers hold the spotlight as we get off to a fiying finish on our last memorandum. A repetition of those we elected last year except for a new vice-president, Anne Hennessey. More members of the class received honorary society recognition this year, and that august body has now become chiefly composed of Seniors. As usual the society gave its annual fall dance which went over in a great way about the first of November. A little later that same group engaged in what might be l55l called a good old-fashioned sleigh ride. Any class member interested in parti- culars kindly consult Mr. Powers! Dear to many of the venerable Seniors are the good times had on various athletic squads. Although we still have baseball, track, and tennis to look forward to, let us make mention of the grand record our football team presented this year, and let that famous Senior line-up take a bow. We should also men- tion the new uniforms sported by the members of the girls' team, and the boys' basketball team. And, oh, yes, who can deny that those lovely blue sweaters worn by our football team do not enhance our corridors! It is with regret that we say good-by to our favorite sports, and with sincerity that we wish the future teams even greater success than we have enjoyed. Originality is a virtue not to be scorned, and least of all by the Class of '39. In proof of this let us point to the fact that for the first time in many years we are the only class to have a year-book which will serve to refresh the memories that have been here on the hill-top. Need we make mention of class pictures? For days both the faculty and the class saw nothing but those gray proof envelopes floating here from desk to desk. We have even heard tell that no serious damage was incurred by the camera. What do you know? It seems that that lazy East Walpole section crowded the last bus so badly that they now are assigned to a special schedule. What are things coming to, anyway? The great body of musicians which got under way last year is finally be- ginning to pay dividends fdue no doubt to the undying efforts of its Senior members in their snappy blue capes and capsj. The annual magazine drive managed by Seniors hit a new high in sales this year, and let us not forget the noble contribution of that gentle, mannerly library group. F ondly anticipated events that have not yet materialized are our Com- mencement Exercises, and last but not least, our very own night, graduation. We have now come to the end of our little summary of some of the high lights in the last four years of the Class of '39, and desire, with the utmost sin- cerity, to bid each member of the faculty farewell, and extend to them and to the School Committee our many thinks for the truly great service rendered us in our journey through Walpole High. Barbara Goodrich l 56 l CLASS WILL We, the Class of '39, priding ourselves upon the fact that we are possessed of a distinctive individuality, that we have an exalted sense of humor, that we are superior intellectually to any other class in the high school, at least through experience and years, that we are possessed of that golden thread, seriousness of thought, which when inter-twined within our lives provides us with a veritable treasure chest, and being of sound mind and body, do hereby, in the presence of these exalted witnesses, the towns-people of dear old Walpole, draw our last will and testament which reads as follows: Frank Allen, genial soul, leaves his backward manner to Chris Yates. Dave Baleson leaves his popularity and adeptness with the weaker sex to Carl Bishop. Longin Binkiewicz and Louis Lorusso leave their love for a good hot argument to Bill Lee. Mary Maguire and Edith Pruell, those mighty mites, leave their height to Ruth Hanna. Dick Heilman leaves his excuses, line, drag, and harem to John Dolan.

Wardy LaCivita leaves his smashing line drives to Freddie Burroughs. Fred Layton and Pete Yates leave their tennis playing ability to the future pros- perity of the team. Dorothy Smith and Esther Gove leave their ability to cooperate on the hockey field to the team of '39. The library, venerable stronghold of all that is left to Walpole High of propriety, leaves its collective individuality, its ability to go down in posterity, its soberness and idealism, to those fortunate males who make the grade next year. Miss Morrissey's English class, that well-behaved group of young gentlemen and an occasional young lady, leave their places to those who qualify next year. The Glee Club and Senior Chorus leave to Mr. Morse their greatest thanks and a new baton for all they have caused him to break. The Senior members of the Band and Music Appreciation class leave to Mr. Kravitz a dozen or so swing records. The Senior Art classes leave their Michelangelo's, Rupperts, and Venus's to the remaining art classes and the various museums that need reenforcements. Now we come to the end of our document. In conclusion thereof we wish a lot of luck and thanks to the members of the faculty who have helped us through a hard yet enjoyable four years. Thus the class of '39 passes on. May it live forever in the spirit and in its memories, lasting to the end, of Walpole High. ln testimony whereof we do hereby set our signature and seal this 15th. day of june, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine.

Lyndon l 59 l ie, Y SUPERLATIVES Now that all is said and done, Let's take time out to have some fun. Remember the superlatives you voted for? Well, here are the results, secrets no more. These were chosen in the spirit of fun,and say- Rememberlthey, too, should be taken that way. The most popular girl is Anne Hennessey. A friend to all, and a helper is she.

And when there is music his feet can not stop. Phyl Herland has a truly wonderful voice. For best singer one couldn't have made better choice. Louis Lorusso shares with her this honor. And when he sings, he's a welcome donor. Acting is an art, the honor of which Goes, unquestioned, to Barbara Goodrich. You ask, Who could the best actor be ? Yes, of course, it's Washy Silvestri.

Our Lorraine Sadler, best student, we've found, Will always be standing on solid ground. Lyndon Welch, too, comes thru' with the A's. Our foresight for him is prosperous days. l60l Anne Sherrerd and Erna Sigmund drew a tie. For their industriousness we praise them high. Peter Segel for this we, too, acclaim We're sure his industriousness will bring him fame. Anne Sherrerd is most ambitious girl- No j0b's too hard for her to unfurl. Louis Lorusso's most ambitious, too- Nothing's too difficult for him to do. And now, who's the most talkative? To Wanda Geigle, this choice, we give. Foster Tucker is very talkative too. He talks and talks and never gets through. BerthaBuckman, the quietest, very seldom says a word. No doubt, she believes, One should be seen and not heard. The Quietest boy in our class is James N eault- By being so quiet he's never at fault. Being the gayest, Wanda Geigle shows As she radiates pleasure from her head to her toes. Washy Silvestri is always so gay, With never a care he goes on his way. For soberness Bertha Buckman wins. We wonder when she'll show her fins. Edward Sheehan, the sober one, too. We question when the sun will peep through. Helen Ahearn, gets the title as funniestg Of all dispositions, it's hers that the sunniest. Foster Tucker shares with Helen, this wit: Whenever humor is needed, Foster can fit. All agree, Janice Wilkins is the sincerest To this, one might add, truest and dearest. Raymond Bock, too, is very sincere, And well deserves his name written here. Frances Maguire, we agree, has the best smile. With this useful trait, more friends she will beguile. Paul Guttormsen was voted this for the boy- Through the day, his smile radiates joy. Virginia Yerkevitz can string the best line. We sincerely hope it will always work fine. A line he has, our Gerald Burns- Please bear with him until he learns! Phyllis Herland, charming, 'tis true For this trait, her name we drew. There are charming fellows, believe it or not. We've placed Paul Guttormsen right on the spot. For best personality we chose Frances Maguire. To get along with all-whose aim could be higher? Dave Bateson, too, has a grand personality. Of this esteem, no one's more worthy than he. Anne Hennessey, most helpful, no end. Always a willing hand she will lend. Louis Lorusso, the most helpful is he- When he can help, he does it with glee. Mary Dawson, most original, that's true And never lost for something to do. Longin Binkewicz, most original, we find. We hope good fortune to him will be kind. Anne Sherrerd is the most likely to succeed. We truly think she will, indeed. David Bateson, too, heads for success. Of this fact, we need not guess. The most courteous girl is Mary Dowd. Of this trait she may well be proud. For courteous boy, he always stands out. Paul Guttorrnsen is truly the gentleman scout. Best couple by choice, there's no doubt in a mind. From Freshmen to Seniors, with each other we find. No matter where,-together they go Frieda Balduf and Al Giandornenico Mary Maguire is our baby, alas! Wee and tiny-pride of our class John Pacuk, too, is a tiny, tiny boy. As one of us, he creates real joy. Anne Hennessey, best all-around, was named. For being just this, she will ever be famed. Dave Bateson, too, was chosen best all-around. A fmorei prince of a fellow could nowhere be oun . l61l Phyllis Herland and Anne Sherrerd drew a tie. Being most professional we'll remember them y. Arnold Davis is most professional by far. His name, someday, will be linked with a star. Our own Mary Dawson, most reliable, too. When a job's on hand, she always comes through. Dave Bateson is most reliable, no doubt. Facing the future, we know he'll win out. Frances Maguire for best disposition is noted. No wonder then, this superlative she was voted. Dick Harrison, too, was voted the best. His fine disposition will stand any test. Helen Meyer has the best excuses we all agree. That's why her name's written here you see. Longin Binkewicz is noted for this, too. His number of excuses are far from few. We agree Theresa Counter is very shy. She was voted most bashfulg we need never ask why. John Egan is very bashful, too. Of this trait, no doubt, you already knew. Frances Maguire has been chosen once more. Because she's true friendliness, right to the core. Now here's a boy we can't forget Dave Bateson's the friendliest we've ever met. Anne Hennessey, for our class, has done most. Of this choice, we are happy to boast. Bob Clark, too, the most has done. He worked for us, surpassed by none. Barbara Goodrich, they say, has the biggest drag. For this superlative she can raise her little flag. This, too, is said of President Clark. His name to this title, we ever will hark. CLASS PROPHECY After ten years, the entire class of '39, Walpole High School, is on the verge of breaking into the news of the day. Leon Ballou, publisher of the Glimpse, his unique magazine, has decided to devote an entire issue to the ac- complishment of a graduating class from a typical American High School. He has assigned his chief photographer Fred Layton, and reporter Ruth Kelly, the task of gathering the necessary pictures and information for the forthcoming issue. The door of their study is open, and as they work over a pile of material before them, let us listen as they discuss the results compiled from an interesting month of research. Well, we certainly have a mess of pictures here, and how our classmates have changed! I had an exciting time a couple of weeks ago at Giandomenico's Night Club. He gave me special permission to take snap-shots of some of our old gang. The Club remains under perfect control at all times, as Mildred Boyden is very handy as Chief Bouncer. I gave her a pleasant nod as I passed, for safety's sake. Georgette Haase was looking very pretty behind the hat check counter. From the adjoining room came strains of a classy dance band. Bob Wight, his sax, and his Whipperwills of Rhythm were swinging it out to the tune of one of Bud Schaeffer's newest song hits. Phyllis Herland sang the vocal to make it a perfect arrangement. Here's a shot of the orchestra. See Scammon up there in the front row with his trombone? Suddenly the lights dimmed and the spotlight was on Edith Merrill, who was strumming on her Hawaiian guitar when very unexpectedly Wanda Geigle went in to her latest dance novelty, the Dying Barracuda. But say, how have you been making out? Oh, I've taken quite a few pictures and interviewed a lot of our old classmates in the last month, and it certainly brings back a lot of fond memories of the swell times we had at good ol' Walpole High. Here's a photo of George Daniels, who is America's hope in the Olympics next year. I had a long talk with Chappie Boulter, concerning his latest scientific discovery. I ran into Charlie Boothby who is a reporter for the HDaily Times and who was rushing off on an important assignment. On my way over to Cherry Wronski's beauty salon, I met Evelyn Johnson, who is an air hostess. Mary McDonough and Marion Swenson, her first class hair dressers, made me look like a different woman. After I had my hair done in that new streamline fashion, I felt so well, I de- cided to take in a movie. Eddie Erker, manager of the Valencis Theatre said I could walk in anytime. It was a perfect show. Anne Sherrerd starred in her latest screen production, 'Sweet and Hot, and is rated a second Hedy Lamarr. Following the picture, there was a sparkling stage review. It opened with a bang! Dick Mellin dashed on, a twisting writhing mass, a wizard of speed, a literal human dynamo. He has tap-danced his way to fame before gasping audiences. In relief Hazel Hill fell asleep doing her slow rhythmic ballet. Arlene Miller gave her swing rendition of the Minuet in G and was followed by that snappy dance review, The Swingapatorsf' I spotted Evelyn Brennan, Cath- erine Hrenchuck, and Theresa Gelso, and got a picture of them in action. Finally that great comedy team, Wiggin and Denton left the audience bursting with laughter. It really was an amazing show. Now how about seeing some more of your pictures. l62l One nightl threw a small party. It was quite an affair, for there was even royalty present, the esteemed Countess Rodowsky, Duchess Ravinsky and Lady Clerici. Nancy Schneider, lacking in title, but as a masseusse very handy in the pinches, was the life of the party, and Helen Ahearn, wife of a prominent playboy, added to the fun. Marion O'Brien dropped in for a few moments. She is doing some fine work as a social worker. Theresa Counter, the only woman undertaker hereabouts, added a touch of realism to a spirited game of Murder. Dot Smith told us how she was going to bust her latest law case wide open in the morning. I went out in the kitchen and discovered three old cronies gabbing away worse than a bunch of women. Bob Clark, a successful movie producer, Pete Yates, head of his private photograph studio, and Jack Flynn, the prominent banker, were in a heated discussion over the tactics used by President Thomas Dewey in the late war. Helen Brennan and Thelma Campagna, who run a day nursery, and Ed Flanagan, the Bee's second base- man, were interested spectators of the argument. Oh, I had a wonderful time at the Circus. I got some swell pictures, too. Take this one for instance. See those two blurs on the horizon? They're Jean Sheldon and Barbara Shufelt being shot out of a torpedo gun. That's photo- graphy for you! The show started with those two daredevil trapeze artists, Edith Pruell and Mary Maguire, better known as The Human Flies. Stella Kuporvicz attracted much attention when she unexpectedly fell from her white charger as she was proudly riding around the ring bareback. Here's an interesting picture of Rubberneck Pechulis swallowing a sword. Look, he can even grin with a sword down his throat. I met Janice Wilkins, who is a candid camera fiend, and together we managed to get some good shots. We went into a side show and watched Florence Mussi slowly charm three large snakes. When we finally left I think I felt a little charmed myself. You said you were going to visit good ol' Walpole High, how did you make out? Fine. You know they have added to the old place. Bud MacLeod and Jack Timmins have been appointed coaches of all the sports of the school. Anne Hennessey has charge of the girls' athletics. Thelma Packard has her hands full, as she has taken over Miss Frye's place as teacher of English. I went up to see how Mr. Powers was making out. He certainly is a carefree person now with Foster Tucker as his chief laboratory assistant. Personally, I think they had both better take the policy of Watchful Waiting. I met Louis Lorusso on my way back from the school. He's promoter for the Garden and said that I shouldn't miss the bouts tonight. The Masked Bomber is fight- ing Killer McComb. His manager, Walter LaCivita, is confident that he will retain his title. There's a good slate tomorrow night too. Those speed-demons, Esther Gove and Lillian Guisti, are having another grudge race in their midget autos. They pretty nearly cracked each other up last time. Barbara Goodrich has called another one of her communist meetings at the Garden next Saturday night. She will give another one of her blood curdling speeches that has put her picture on the front door of every faithful communist in America. About two weeks ago I took a trip to Maine to visit Paul Guttormsen's health camp. He has quite a place. Here's a picture of some of his staff. That's Eddie Onion, the physical instructor on the left. John Lazarovitch, beside him is in charge of the various crafts. Ray Shirley on the right is Paul's right-hand man. Sidney l63l Hatch and James Meomartino, the famous baseball scouts, were looking the camp over. On my way back to Boston I dropped in at Lazy River, New Hamp- shire to see how Barbara Furguson is making out with her dramatic school. She's doing famously. Well, now it's your turn. What else did you do? This is a good one of the famous Professor Mahoney and his cohort, james Moylan. They are discussing their theory of relativity. I snapped this one at Arnold Davis' latest recital. He is touring the country as a concert pianist. Here is a group picture of Harold Mott, James Neault, and Felix Marchand, charter members of the Walpole Bachelors' Club. Barbara Small can attribute her success as an expert tax collector to her first hand experience at Walpole High. Mary Dowd is now an accomplished bookkeeperf' I felt tired the other night and so I decided to go over and spend a quiet evening at the Silvestri's. Virginia had fixed up a large batch of spaghetti and while we were eating, Eleanor Leger, the new Singing Lady of the radio, entertained all the little Silvestri's with her fascinating tales and songs. Then when Buck Allen and his Lone Rangers came on they all crowded around the loudspeaker. At eight-thirty Dick Heileman gave his advice to the lovelorn and at nine o'clock Fanny Maguire presented her News and Views of the re- cent destruction of Germany. Her guest artist was Dr. Binkiewicz, who ex- pounded his Philosophy of Life. What's that photo you're looking at? This is Dick Harrison standing in front of one of his roadside inns. Marion Swenor, Charlotte Scammon, and Freida Balduf, surrounding him, are hostesses of other establishments under his management. At last they have finished the new East Walpole Post Office. Look at this snap of Baldy Ceglar- ski, who is its first Postmaster. On his left is Nathan Guy who satisfies his desire for speed by running a fire engine. Would you believe that Eric Carlson and Helen Haggerty have formed an invincible partnership? Carlson would not be the successful business man he is today if it weren't for the undying efforts of his secretary, Miss Haggerty. I was heading over to the airport the other day in my little midget plane when I was forced down by john Egan, chief of the Aero Squad, for flying too low. I discovered that my altimeter was stuck but regardless, these little ships are a great improvement over the automobiles. When I arrived at the airport, I had quite a discussion with Pentti Skinner, who is field manager, and we watched Ed Sheehan pilot his transatlantic Clipper safely to the hangars. He had just arrived from Paris. Across the field I noticed George Streechon and Onnie Waltonen tuning up a speedy little racer. After my al- timeter was fixed I took a hop to the Peter Segel Hospital. I ran into Pete on the second fioor. He took one sympathetic look at me and before I could open my mouth to protest he had decided to operate immediately. Celia jurgelevich, his head nurse, came to my rescue and explained to him it was just my natural pasty look. In front of the hospital I took this picture of Joe Gingras, Hazel Gould, and Ernestine Sigmund, who are on the ambulance squad. On my way back to the hotel I met Ray Bock, who is a naval officer on leave of absence. When we arrived, Bob Brown, who has modernized the establishment of this publishing company, notified me that Gerald Burns was waiting for me in my room. Captain Burns of the Light Artillery and Bock discussed the relative importance of the Army and the Navy. After awhile the conversation drifted to some of our old acquaintances. I found out that Dot Eckert is a fioor walker l 641 at Filene's Basement, and that Shirley Alger is having great success with her dog kennels out West. Bock said he had an interesting talk with John Pacuk in New York just before he left on another expedition to the Arctic. If you ever go in town and want an especially good meal, just drop in at McKee's restaurant. The food is great and his hostess, Rosemary Frink, makes you feel right at home. I had dinner in there the other day with Dave Bateson. Dave has built himself up quite an Escort Bureau. He tells me that Barbara Ferden is in Reno again. That girl can't seem to make up her mind yet. Our our way out we stopped and talked with Dorothy Krill, the cashier, for a few moments. Dave also informed me that some of our classmates are doing a lot toward curbing the recent crime wave in the city. He says that gangsters' deadliest enemy is G-Man jack Urmston, and if you ever need any expert detective service, just go to the Meyer, Meyer, Meyer 81 Sons Incor- porated, agency. As I was passing through Walple the other day I picked up the Walpole Times. There's some interesting articles in it.
