JACQUES THE SPIRIT OF 1917 is upon us. The sight of the blue and the khaki everywhere has made us realize that we are at war. The many start- ling events within the last few months have demonstrated that our government is engaged in a tremendous and dan- gerous undertaking. We are living in a time which will forever be remembered as the scene of the struggle to decide whether or not Democracy must pre- vail. The loyalty to country and the love of freedom instilled in our hearts from early childhood must, at a time like this, reveal and declare themselves. And now we all lean our shoulders against the mighty wheel of the War machinery of the United States in our attempt to check the ruthless hand of Prussian barbarity. Thus, regardless of our rank or age, we are all co-work- ers in the same just cause. And it is with this feeling of fellow- ship that 1 wish you a hearty welcome in behalf of the VValtham High School and of the Class of 1918. Our government, during the past year of the conflict, has declared that in order to successfully conclude this present struggle, the co-operation of each of its citizens must be secured, that his every effort must be concen- trated on the advancement of its war operations. This declaration has re- quired of some actual aid, work in munition factories or other war indus- tries. Of the young man it has exacted the supreme sacrifice, the offering of his life, his all, for the protection and safeguard of those at home. This per- formance of duty has, as yet, required very little of high-school pupils. Their sacrifices have been thus far compara- tively few. Let us review the war-work of our school during the past year. The work in aid of the Red Cross should not be under-valued. Particular weight was placed, hy those in authority, on the need of this work. The total produc- tion of the school amounted to several hundreds of dollars. The request of the Y. M. C. A. for the earning and giving of 310, by every boy, a plan designed not only to help hnancially, but to create the much needed labor as well, was splendidly answered by Waltham High School boys. In this same phase of aid farm- called was the enlistment of boys for service. In addition, we were upon to assist the many war-aids which were begun during the year. The mem- bership of the school in the Junior Red Cross was over a hundred per cent. The spirit created in the school at the time of the Liberty Loans was doubt- less instrumental in the enlightening of many homes as to the urgency of the success of those drives. Finally, is our contribution to those who have offered their lives that they might help defeat a most inhuman and atrocious people, that they might foil the diabolical plans of a wretch at once the most despicable and most savage the world has seen. Of these boys we say with Abraham Lincoln, God bless the soldiers and seamen and all their brave command- ers. Let us for a moment picture ourselves in the devastated fields of war-stricken France. Let us compare the lot of the French youth with security. The boys our comfort and of France are in the trenches fighting beside their fathers their countenances and brothers. On we see no longer the look of youth. Instead, there is a grim, determined aspect. The task of saving their coun- try and of revenging their outraged -T2s.fs?.21s.?:.f-r' .fs Riff? .A .., ..c iff'Q f'i- f'i- f'i f'l'b'Q ,'Q f'i f'Q','L ,'Q ,'CYL'iJf'Q- ,'i-Jf'L'f'Q'fQ U U N.,..,...x.,,x...N..,N..x..x.,.N...x...y..s...N,.x,.x..N.,.y.. ,x,,s,.s.,x,.X,,x.,N.,N,,M..s..,x.,N.,y,.x...s.,s.,s.,,s.,x.,,,, PageF0m' , ' SALUTATORY people has fallen on their shoulders. The work of the men is being per- formed by the women and girls. No smiles on their visages. The French girl has realized the exigency of the time and has proved herself equal to it. The schools of France, subterranean in the sections where the battles are rag- ing, are now attended only hy the very small children, who are often compelled to wear gas masks as a protection from the poisonous fumes. Classes have been conducted while shells were bursting within a few yards. We know that the boys and girls of England have similarly sacrificed every- thing. England's ranks are hlled with boys of our age. The war industries are being conducted through the em- ployment of women and girls, who are doing the labor of the men eagerly and conscientiously. In our school, the display of patriot- ism during the past year has been most inspiring. The success of the coming year rests entirely with the student body. Gur ease and immunity, so much in contrast with the privations and sacriiices of our allied friends, 41 ofa: 9, bl 7 Q X C should leave us no alternative. The same work must be repeated and even exceeded, since the need is greater. It is our most fervent wish that Waltham High School stand foremost in the dis- charge of its duty. VVe should not forget, however, that it is still the duty of the American youth to prepare for the higher work of our country. Education must still be fostered. President Wilson recently emphasized the importance of this when he stated that there is even greater need for highly educated men and women. College presidents cry out in unison against the neglect of education. So. with this thought in mind, let us make the standard of Waltham High School excellence in education and sin- cerity in patriotism. With these com- bined we cannot failg they must inspire us to victory and to peace. Let us all strive to make ourselves worthy of the great sacrifice our boys are making for usg let us consecrate ourselves to our task, and having thus chosen our course, without guile and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear and with manly hearts.

V aledictor DOROTHY SMITH WE COME before you tonight for the last time as students of the Waltham High School. Behind us lie four years-years which have consti- tuted a period in our lives not to be lightly regarded. So swiftly has passed this time of learning, mingled with pleasure, that it seems to have been, A little work, a little play, To keep us going-and so, good-day! We are on the threshold of a new and entirely different life. The work which now lies before us, ready for our eager hands to seize and perfect-who has foresight enough to tell what it may be? Perhaps our country will call us, perhaps some of our boys, or girls, may be represented on our service flag with blue stars, perhaps with gold. What- ever our work, it is true that the train- ing which we have received ever since we entered school has, in a great meas- ure, prepared us for that which lies be- yond. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way, But to act, that each tomorrow Find us farther than today. Education begins with the lisping child at the mother's knee. Before it ever entered school, the mother edu- cated that child to the best of her ability. VVhere did that mother obtain that which she so freely gives? From the education which she, in turn, re- ceived at home and at school. If her schooling had been less complete, she could not so well have helped her child along the road of knowledge. As one writer has aptly stated, The fountain of knowledge is filled by its outlets, not by its inlets. You can learn nothing which you do not teach, you can ac- quire nothing of intellectual wealth, ex- cept by giving. That is one of the chief reasons for allowing women the educational advantages which were denied them fifty years ago. One of the most important lessons taught in our schools is that of patriot- ism. Almost from the first day, patriot- ism is kept before the child. This is done by a daily salutation of the flag, or by stories which the teacher may tell, or by reference to the example of others, but above all by the exercises commemorating some historic day. Young America is thrilled by the spirit shown and the pieces spoken. His feeling of intense patriotism has grown one hundred-fold by the time he is ready to leave grammar school. The Flag has become a sacred emblem in his eyes, an emblem which must never be down-trodden, never be stained. In the high school, this spirit of love for the H-ag remains, but, in close connec- tion with it, there has grown another of service to the flag. Honoring and loving my flag, as I do, is there not some service I can render it to keep it always as it is ? It is the daily instruc- tion which has given growth to this feeling of service-service to our friends, service to our country, service to the world. And this rising tide of nationalism is the rising tide of democ- racy. This love of country is the strongest in a democratic nation, it is the steady growth of this feeling that is making democracies of other countries. In time of peace, the opportunities for service are much more limited than in timetof war. In that respect, we are the most fortunate class ever graduat- ing from the Waltham High School, for we have a mighty range of service. I need not mention the fact that our nation needs the boys. Now, too, is the supreme moment for girls. The World ...,..g..,..N.,g..-.-g-gwx-c-.-.g-,-g-s-x-.e-x-A-N-N 55 f3.7'p?.'r?.'f?.'rw'.'-3.79.4 ?.'f3.'-'?.'f?.'f?.'f?.'f?.'F?.4 ?.'f?.4 e? .

The many vacancies caused by the draft are being successfully Filled by women-we find them in the work- shops, on the street-cars, in the ship- yards, and even behind the trenches. It has been stated, on good authority, that, in two years more, the women of Eng- land will be capable of making an entire battle-ship. This is only one instance of woman's adaptability to circurn- stances. We are glad that such oppor- tunities lie before us-glad that we can by our labor, show loyalty to our coun- try and to its flag. SI y Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high! Forever iioat that standard sheet! Wlhere breathes the foe but falls be- fore us! XN'ith Freedom's soil beneath our feet, And 'Freedoms banner streaming o'er us. Contrast our spirit with that of Ger- many-Germany whose name has be- come a by-word for cruelty and in- humanity. XN'hat is that nation's hu- manitarianism compared with our high ideals? The German idea of service is self-centered-to serve herself so as to become great in land, great in power. But, with all this land and power, she has not helped other nations or made this world a better place to live in. Her slogan is Efficiency, and, for that end, she has sacrificed everything. Having acquired the right amount of efhciency, how has she used it? For the benefit of some poor, down-trodden people? The question has been forever answered by this merciless struggle for supremacy. The German people are greatly handi- capped at the beginning by the educa- tion which they receive. The children, as well as the parents, are ever under the iron-heeled rule of military autoc- racy. Germany is a land of scientists and inventors. They make articles which have never been duplicated by other nations. Is it not a most deplor- able fact that this nation could not have used her vast store of knowledge in a more creditable manner-for the benefit of all mankind, instead of for the bet- terment of self? For the last forty years, as every one knows, Germany has been preparing for this war. Her preparedness has meant the training of men, the building of U-boats, and the making of guns. I She has been preparing to make this world subject to her power, at whatever cost to humanity. Compare this attitude with that of America. An1erica's dream of the future has never been war, but universal peace, therefore she has not trained men in any large numbers, she has not built U-boats, she has not made guns. America has taught her people justice, humanitarianism, and, above all, the creed that right must prevail. This country has well proved its interna- tional reciprocity by the bountiful gift of 3150.000 to Gen. Ioffre, a year ago, for the support of the fatherless chil- dren of France, by constantly sending supplies to the Belgians, and by her enormous loans to Russia, England, and Italy. This is the preparedness of America, and is it not the finest of pre- paredness? Because our country has, finally. been drawn into the great 'World VVar, it has not changed its peace policy.

Does not this one fact prove, conclusively, that we have awakened to the thought of service, and that the motto of this little class of ours is rapidly becoming the motto of our nation. ' We are simply High school graduates, ready and waiting for the new work before us. Vlfitli our entrance into the school, this war began. We earnestly hope that it may end before another graduation. In a few moments, we shall receive our diplomas, and the class of 1919 will be Seniors, while the class of 1918 will pass out of the High school. And what ideals can we carry with us to help in later years? Let each of us make the supreme effort in the service best adapted to his ability and training, whether at home or abroad. Let each of us always keep uppermost the thought of patriotism, and the deep resolve to be of service to mankind- Not for Ourselves, but for others. I can think of no more Fitting words with which to close than those of Abraham Lincoln: With malice to- ward noneg with charity for allg with firmness in the right, as Ood gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are ing to bind up the nation's wounds: to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.

I was a mem- ber of that antiquated assemblage. After the inner man had been satis- fied, the chairs were pushed back and a thick pall of smoke hung low over the room, broken onlyuhere and there by the sharp flare of a match, lighting up some wrinkled old face. The talk had drifted back to our younger days, and we is ere wondering what had become of some of our old classmates. A little weazened, dried up fellow by the name of Roberts, puffing away at a big, black cigar, asked me if I re- membered that furlough we had had back in the army days when we met so many of our old classmates. You bet I do, I replied. Then as most of the veterans pres- ent had been members of the class of 1918, they urged me to teil the story of our furlough. There was no escape, so I began. It was back in 1930, nve years after the All-Highest Gott Mit Uns had been captured and boiled alive by the Yanks. The Allies were but twenty miles from Berlin and I was doing duty in the front line trenches. The day before my furlough began, I was stand- ing at my post when I espied several grenades coming from the general di- rection of Berlin and heading toward the vicinity of Yours Truly. I dived for a dugout and landed sprawling on a weary soldier, breaking up a rat con- vention and disturbing the rest of the above mentioned Yank, Then he arose and in a few, well-chosen, vitri- .., - HAMILL olic words, suggested that I seek a warmer climate. When I heard those familiar, blood- thirsty adjectives, I knew who my 'Yank was. It was Jack Roberts, just as small as ever. What did you think had hit you? I asked him. Oh, I thought it was a new rat fam- ily moving in, he replied. Then he asked if the big drive was over and when l told him it was, he suggested that we go out. Since l had come over before him, I asked about some of our old friends. I-Ie declared the only ones he knew anything-about were Ned Robichaud and Herb French. Ned had been City Engineer for a while, but then he formed a company with a fellow by the name of Guinan, and when last heard from, was touring the country. Herb had gone from bad to worse. He and Charlie Bond had started for Texas at the close of school. Charlie had good intentions, but he never got Herb any farther south than Atlantic Ave. . Jack said he was due for a fur- lough beginning the next day, so we agreed to join forces. We decided to stop a few days in Paris and then spend several days in America. That suited Jack, for time was about the only thing he ever did spend. The- following morning our regiment was relieved and we were cheering up the new set of victims. We informed them that this was the busiest sector in France, under constant shellfire, the Happy Hunting Grounds of all rats and gave them many other interesting items. They replied that they were not worrying as they had the two best bomb throwers in France. Thereupon N..x...x..x,,g..,g..,s.,X..c..,x..,s.., .N .,, .K .1 .., G 5. 'Ff .4s?.'f-?.'3 .'r?.'f-9.

Page Nme they brought out a lanky fellow, about seven feet long, Brigadier-Private Sed- erquist, and a little fellow, about seven feet wide, Corporal Hornbeck. Then I knew the men were not jollying us, for when that pair started throwing bombs, it was all off. Arriving at the rest camp, Jack and I were dismissed. We took the first train for Paris. After many hours ofriding, we pulled in at Liege for a short stop. We disembarked and start- ed to look the town over. Before we had gone far, we heard a voice singing an old familiar song of our school days, I Don't YVant To Get Well. We traced it and found the source in a shell torn hospital around the cor- ner. We entered, but the building seemed deserted. After walking down a few dozen corridors, we finally ran into a nurse- Bertha Weston, wasn't it? broke in one of my listeners, an aged cripple in very poor health. Yes, I answered. I thought so! A fine nurse. She took care of me once. Go on with your story. n -well, I asked her who was .sing- ing and she told us we might take a look if we would be quiet. Then she led us through several more corridors and to a room of which she opened the door, ordering us to take a peep in. Upon a bed lay the grandest looking soldier, I had ever laid eyes on-he must have been a general,-having his pulse taken by a beautiful nurse sing- ing the song that had brought us there- George and Charlotte. l'll bet, in- terrupted another old boy. You win, I replied and continued with my yarn. Not wishing to disturb such a peaceful dream, we tiptoed away. When-we got outside, Jack begged me Tr? ' ' ' K ' K N' ' ' 'T ' ' ' ' to shoot him! Not that he wished to be numbered among the fatalities, but to insure a nice, soft bed and a beautiful nurse to take his pulse, and smooth his fevered brow. Just then the whistle sounded and we had to run for our train. On the way to Paris we met Frankie Smith. He sat in front of us all the way, but we didn't notice him until the conductor commenced to collect tickets. Then he began to get nervous and fidget around in his seat until finally he turned to us in despair. He said he had only a nickel with him and begged us to stake him the price of a ticket. So we chipped in. said goodbye to the money, and gave it to him. A few minutes later there was quite a commotion at the other end of the train and we rushed down to see what the disturbance was. When we ar- rived. the conductor was busily en gaged in throwing a little excess bag' gage off the train. In this instance, the excess baggage was a nondescript gentleman of leisure, who, I am sorry to say, greatly resembled our old class- mate, Carl Grip. In a little while, we arrived at Par- is and put up at the nearest hotel for the night. The following morning we started out to see the sights. The city was full of soldiers. On one occasion, a stately, very erect general passed. It was Philip Walker, I could tell by the soldierly bearing of the man. Phil, you know, was always very erect and manly. He got his first training in Sergeant Rowell's famous Mexican army, the stepping stone of many a famous general. About noon, when we were saunter- ing up the Champ Elyss, we came across a beautiful woman, the picture of wretchedness, sitting on the curb v 'r3.fA 45,43 'r5.fA,f'5,'1Q,4'3,43,'n',fQ,f-T,f9,'.-9,44 43 '.-st -a..a ,.L, .U .U .U .Q ..A, .U .Q .U .U .U .Q s-,fsfsfsfs4s-fsfsfx-fs:fs:fsfs:fX,fs.fsfsftf'O .Page Ton ' .U .Q .U .U .IJ .U .U .Q .U .U .U .U .U .Q .Q .., .U .U an ,E.,'P.,fE.'E,,fP,,'E,,'kNfP.,fkx.4E.'E.'E.'S..'P..'E.'g.'E.'E.' CLASS PROPHECY stone. She was very short but what she lacked in height, she made up in width. Upon seeing us, she covered her face. Astonished we stopped and asked her what the trouble was. She buried her face still farther in her hands. Jack suddenly had an inspiration. Walking off a few yards he gazed a the woman for several minutes, then he called me over and asked me if l recognized that landscape. Then it came to me that this poor creature was once Ethel Walker. Hello, Ethel! I cried. Perceiving that her identity was known, she began a long tale of woe and ended up with an appeal for a lit- tle money. I asked her what she was going to do with it and the poor girl said she was thirsty. It seems that three of them, Ethel. Gertie Richardson, and Madalene Stone. had left America several years before to become Red Cross nurses. Upon reaching Paris, however, Ger- tie had succumbed to her old weak- ness, grapejuice cocktails, and Mada- lene and Ethel had thus been provid- ing funds for the quenching of Gertie's thirst. Giving the poor girl some money, we continued down the boulevard. After tramping quite a distance, we stopped on a corner to rest. Hello, boys, spoke somebody. We looked around but there was nobody within speaking distance. The voice was repeated and we took another look. This time we saw Baron Beamish standing right in front of us. . Where were you? we demanded. Right here, he replied. Say, I said, turning to Jack, have we had anything today? He was getting a little bleary-eyed but he managed to gulp out Noi 1 Right here all the time. pro- claimed the Baron, but I was stand- ing sideways. He had on a regular army uniform, l don't know how he got into it, but he looked as if he had been poured in. We chatted for a while, the Baron makingcomments on every passing damsel. Finally, when an auburn- haired one went by, he became espec- ially enthusiastic and soon disap- Deared in hot pursuit. Turning the corner, I ran full tilt into a splendidly dressed man, attired in tall silk hat and all the trimmings. When he picked himself up, the side- walk was liberally sprinkled with silk hat and other haberdashery. I took off my 'coat and we were just going to exchange compliments when I no- ticed his hair. Beautiful, blonde hair with fine silky waves ending in cute little curls! There was but one per- son on earth with such hair and that was E. Lincoln Miner. So peace was declared. He told us that he was manager of all the Liberty Theatres for the sol- diers in Paris. He would have liked to stop and talk but Irene probably had dinner ready, and as he did not dare to keep her waiting, he had to hurry along. Before going, however, he took advantage of a few hints I had dropped and gave me two passes, one for myself and one for the little boy with me. As soon as he had disappeared around the corner, we started on the dead run for the nearest Liberty The- atre. As I expected, the girl in the ticket booth-who, by the way, was Grace Bingay--informed me that the passes were several months old. But I noticed a sign, which announced that children in arms were admitted free of charge, so by carrying Jack, I made it on one admission. .,..,.. .-.,.-.K.-.,.s.fs.,N.,.,-...,,.,x.,,.,.X4 .--A-X-A-Avg-A-N-,x.A-A-g-A'1---AVN-A ..Q, 95 16 1? 11 11 1? 1? 16 1? 1? 1? 1? 15 11 11 KGQ 11 11 16 16 165 16 16 11 1? 16 1? 1? 1? 11 16 11 11 1?

Looking on which had been handed us at the door. we saw that the name of the artist'f was Walter Vaughan. did not believe it to classmate, until I saw Even then I be my former those old pur- ple socks. I firmly believe that those are the same ones he wore for four years back in High School. Two acts later another Waltham boy, Punk Johnson, appeared. He was dressed the same as when he used to come to school, with a low crowned derby, similar to the one he wore on St, Arthur's day, a suit about ten sizes too late, and a pair of huge, suit-cases called shoes. He was down on the bill as a comedian, but as a comedian, he was a false alarm. At the close of this act there was a long delay. Finally a man appeared upon the stage and announced that Miss Pauline Kimball who was due to sing that old war ballad, There's a Long, Long Trail, would, on account of a slight indisposition, be unable to warble today. About half an nour later, we woke another prodigy up in time to hear from our home town, Ruth Paul. She favored the audience with a few songs her justice, I'll and retired. To do say that she was the best of the three. Rather a doubtful compliment, but af- ter those first two frauds, anything was satisfactory. Now we sat back and awaited the banner attraction of the evening, a short musical sketch. At last the curtain rose and the maids of the chorus were tripping merrily over the stage. Immediately Jack stopped talking and settled down to get his money's worth. After several minutes of intent gazing, he turned to me: Don't you recognize the third, fourth and fifth from the right? I took a look and sure enough, there was the old wrecking crew, Ruby Sea- nien, Helen Pelky, and Alice Gorman. About uve minutes later, Jack,' had another spasm. 'Curly' Miner seems to be taking care of the rest of the family. How's that? l asked. See that little one on the left end. Well, that's Frankie Willard. It began to look like Old Home Week with so many of our old friends around. But no more appeared, so at the end of this act, I dissuaded Jack from staying to see the show over again and we went out. It was rather late, so we headed for the hotel. We dropped into the res- taurant for a bite to eat before retir- ing and whom did we see among the waitresses but Helen Kirwin, Marion Sampson, and Rebecca Farnsworth. We beat a hasty retreat and went to bed supperless. The following morning we decided to leave Paris and set out for the good old U. S. A. We headed for the Air Line depot in the center of the city, and inquired when the next plane left for America. We were told that there was an express leaving for America in ten minutes. So I started to scout around for a good book to read en route. Going over to the newsstand, I asked for the most popular book on the war. The girl behind the counter was Ruth Burckes-rather fortunate, as she used to be quite an authority on books. She handed me a large vol- ume which she said was the largest selling War book since the days of Empey's Over the Top. I paid ten perfectly good francs for that book, which I never would have done had I known at the time who wrote it. ...,..,.,,.,.a.,.X.,,.,.s.,,.,N..K.,x.,N..,.,x...s...s.,,-.-N- .,,..N-N-.vNs-e-x-fN,-R,'-s, g5g,'-g, g, qpKX, qk'i Gfifw 'N 'a.'fs.'fs.'a.'fs,fs,f-,X,fNq,fa.4-:.'fv.fnn.'in.4s.'-sn's.f'ww Q,'fv,4sr,'.-':.'NQ.'1fs.'a.'iq.fs.

Several hours later when we were fairly out to sea, I took a look at my purchase. It was The Perils of the Ambulance Service by Corp, Charles McGahan, author of My Life in the Coast Artillery and Ten Words a Minute. The illustrations were by the famous artist twins, Howard and Harold Harvey. There was a big splash far below and the best seller of the war had gone to the fishes. That afternoon we were sitting on the promenade deck gazing at the clouds around us, when whom should we see walking down the deck but Bet- ty Wiley. She came over and we be- gan to talk over old times. Are you travelling for your health? I asked her. No, I'm a salesiady for a dry goods firm, was the answer. Any particular line of dry goods? I ventured. Oh, yes. Middy blouses, she re- plied. That reminded me of something and Iasked what her old rival, Isabel Dauncey, was doing. She's selling shirtwaists for the same Erin, we were informed. Then she started off on a long ti- rade on the advantages of middy blouses over shirtwaists, especially for graduations, but Jack came to my rescue by shouting, Man overboard! and while Betty wished to see the ex- citement we escaped. We entered the dining room, and as I expected, we found a few more of our friends in the guise of waitresses and pot wallopers. There must be some sort of fascination about it, for they all had fallen. This time I saw Caroline Erickson and Margaret Hib- bard, and far out in the kitchen, I could discern Vesta Winn scrubbing dishes. At the close of the meal, seeing no sign of Betty, we sallied forth upon the deck, once more. We found that we were not flying at a very high al- titude. In a little while, we passed over a lighthouse. I caught sight of an up- turned face which I am pretty sure be- longed to Frances Ames. Wonder who she married that brought her way out there? One odd thing about it, she couldn't invite the Sewing Circle in very often. The morning of the next day found us at the Air Line depot in Boston. The depot was situated on the site of the old Boston Common and so when we descended, we were on Tremont street. From now on we commenced to see our old friends frequently. In the de- pot, I caught sight of two, Lena Mor- ris and Bertha Munroe, in a news- stand. Also we passed the oflice of Lorraine Stone, public stenographer. Before taking the subway, we wan- dered around the town a bit. A little later, as we were walking down Washington street, we ran into Cy Perkins. He didn't have much to say but I noticed his derby. On one side of it, there was a green smudge, where it looked as if the Egure 52 had been inscribed in green chalk and then rubbed out. If that was the case, it was about time he bought a new hat. Farther down the line we encoun: tered Bertha Concannon. The poor girl had wasted away to a shadow of her former self. I inquired as to how she had accomplished this transfor- mation and she told methat she was attending the Physical Culture Studio of Miss Beatrice Hoelscher, the fa- mous woman gymnast.

It an- nounced that the management had at great cost secured the engagement- theatrical not matrimonial-of Miss Adele Eichler and Mr. Karl Swett in a four act drama of love and adven- ture, entitled Put Some Pep lnto lt. While standing and gazing with awe at this announcement, we noticed a sea-captain with a Herculean build standing before us. It turned out to be Captain Ed. Mosher of the Merchant Marine, in charge of a big freighter plying between Boston and Savannah. According to him, the Merchant Mar- ine had got wireless beaten a mile. We began to feel the pangs of hun- ger and l suggested that we drop into a restaurant for a bite to eat, but Jack decided We had better go home as we could eat for nothing there. On the way to the subway, we passed the photograph studio of Mme. Minerva Olney. In the subway, we discovered that women employees were in vogue and a poor, ordinary man didn't have a chance. The employee who bellowed forth the destinations of the trains turned out to be Gladys Davis. Our motor-woman was Maggie Hutton! l expected ,never to hit Waltham, but I guess she did not know I was on, for nothing happened. On the train, we fell in with Ruth Arneson. We learned that she was married but she refused to tell who the unlucky man was. It was dead easy to tell, however, for the little boy with her was red-headed. At Newton, a Woman with a huge brood of children, I should say, about 15, in round numbers, joined us. She sat at the other end of the car, but l recognized the careworn face of poor old Mother Tully. It was about noon, when we reached Central Square. I stopped on the cor' .,., .., .., .A ... -.. -. -. .N .N ner to look things over a bit, while Jack started on the double quick for Robbins street. Before parting, however, we agreed to meet at Nut- ting's the following evening. The square looked the same as ever. In the Lawrence Building, I saw that Edith Metcalf, the noted woman law- yer, had her shingle out. As in the olden days, the traffic cops were still balling up traflic. While I was watching this one ring circus, a short fellow, dressed entirely in black, brushed past me. He looked familiar and l grabbed him. , Hello Osy! I shouted. Why all the crepe? Can't stop now, I'm in a hurry, and handing me a card, he hurried off. Here is the way his card' read:- Wendell Osborn. Dealer In Second Hand Art Books. The traiiic cop was now reprimand- ing a woman chauffeur for speeding through the square. She gave her name as Miss Dorothy Muzzy, I had known she would end up like this, by the reckless way in which she used to speed to school. The little high school children were now being dismissed. They get small- er every year. I decided to go over and take a look at the old prison. l walked up Main street, past the City Hall and-I could scarcely believe my eyes-the old shack had a new coat of paint. I looked inside to see if the paint extended within or whether the exter- ior was simply camouiiaged. Over the door of the old City Managers of- fice, I noticed the sign, City Man- ageressf' I was inquisitive and peeked in. Seated in a chair with her feet upon the desk was our City Man- ageress, Mrs. Gwendolyn Fraim, dic- tating to a short-hand artist, who re- minded me greatly of Ruth MacKenzie.

Gwen used to run the High School and here she was running the city. l went out, crossed the street, and started up Church street. At the Animal Aid Shelter, the an- nual rummage sale was on full blast. 1 noticed only a few of the old faces, but there was one new one, Miss Dor- othy Smith, behind the counters. From that I deducted that she was a teacher at the High School. On the corner of School and Church streets, I passed a short, fat youth, whose face reminded me of an old friend's. I asked the boy what his name was and he replied Jonas Sheer. Say is your father's name Nathan? I demanded. Yes, sir. He owns the big tailor shop over here on Lexington street. I looked at the boy's books to see what he was studying. Among them I espied my old favorite, a Latin gram- mar. This one was bulky and must have been written by a very learned man. I was curious and opened the book to see. The author was Chester J. Fraim, A. B., Professor of Latin at Cornell University. Don't you believe what that book tells you sonny! I know the man who wrote it. How do you like High School, my boy? All right, he replied, except the teachers. My room teacher, Miss Agatha Cooke, isn't so bad, but We got a new spelling teacher the other day. He is terrible. His name is Powers. You should have heard him the other day trying to spell prophet ?- That was enough for me and I head- ed back for Central Square. The City Edition of the Tribune was just out, so I purchased a copy. While perusing the sporting page, I discov- ered that Sunday baseball in Boston between two major league teams, was down to receive its iirst tryout the tol- lowing Sunday. The page also con- tained a write-up of Big-Six Barnes, the wizard of baseball, the famous twirler of the Boston Red Sox, by Les- lie C. Browning, the sporting editor. Barnes was down to pitch at the Sun- day Baseball opening. ln another part of the paper, I saw a letter of protest against the Sunday baseball by a prominent society wom- an ot Waltham, Miss Leila Warren. She stated that she was also in iiavor of the abolition ot auto-riding and can- oeing on the Sabbath, but that she would let these rest, if but that ac- cursed baseball be stopped. Below this, there was an account of the election of the previous day. ln the list of the candidates for the school committee, I perceived that A1- bert Bent had linished seventh-out of a field of tive. While reading, I had been strolling along Moody street and by this time, l was almost to Hall's Corner. There the Salvation Army was holding its usual festivities. Among them, I rec- ognized Sergeant Rowell. I knew he would rise high in the military protes- sion, because he showed great promise in that line in school. Marion Parker and Harold Wilson were among the sinners. Farther up the line, F. W. Wool- worth Co., was doing business in the same old place, but not in the same old way. They said business was nev- er the same after Bud Behrman be- came manager. I saw seve-ral old friends behind the counters, Ruby V-an Demark on the cookie counter and Gertrude Colloton maltreating a long- suffering piano. Then I passed Flora Stearns' millin- ery shop and at Lewis' old stand, Rosamond Jacobs was doing a flourish- ing candy business. . ..N..N-.N-.NUR-.xvxvxusvsvxvx-gvxvsvmvx -Nvx-L-X-Nvxvxs-gvxvxvsvsvsvxvxvxvsvx Cl Q fu Q P6.fv-..'Nf..'a.+'-vm.fmfwu.fi-f-..fw..4s.fNn.fw-..'w1.fs.49n's.'f9.

Seeing some street excavating being done on one of the side streets, l turned down to watch the operations. Whom should l find digging ditches but the boy marvels of the twentieth century, those two child prodigies, Tom Riley and Ed St. Jacques. All ot which goes to show, you never can tell. Look at what these two book phenoms became and then look at Clil- lord Happenny-remember how dense he was-he was the biggest construc- tional engineer in Waltham. The reason why he became the biggest one was because he was the only one. A little way down the street, there was a ramshackle, rundown, motorcy- cle standing in the gutter. l walked down and not seeing anybody around, started to borrow it. Get away from that motorcycle, somebody shouted. l jumped off and looked around. There, lying on the lawn before me, was Ed Eastman, with his head rest- ing on a big, black book. The boss always thought Ed worked hard be- cause his-meter book was Worn, but, believe me, the hardest book ever did, was as a told me himself that he seen the inside of it. Still reading meters, I see. Oh, yes, once in ia while, he work that pillow. Ed had never yawned. Say, is it five o'clock yet?l Half an hour yet, I replied. Then he rolled over and continued with his nap. lf ever a youth had shown great possibilities, it was that boy and here he was wasting his life away at twelve perusually perhaps. Just then Everett Cutler rattled by on the top of a rickety old milk wagon. Zu-Zu, I shouted. Aw, gawan, you funny man, he - ...L.,..g.a.a,......,....h.L '12 ?A.'N'En'sr.fa .ffsfa fa .fin . growled, and giving the old mare a kick, vanished around the corner. After this, I went home and lo-ated around until the evening of the follow- ing day when we went to Nutting's. We met at the appointed time and set out for the dance. When we got there we discovered that it was not a regular dance, but a grand Red Cross ball. As usual we did not have enough money with which to pay our way in and I had just about given up hope when Jack found out that the chairman of the ball committee was Edna Oliver, the famous cabaret dan- cer. So by using the old friend gag, we squeezed in. When we entered, we found that the French family, fifteen years after they just began to speak in public, were still talking. Miss Alice French was making an appeal for some war fund, but as we did not have enough money between us to buy a necktie for a mos- quito, we didn't take the trouble to listen. Following this there was an exhibi- tion dance by the well-known prize- dancers, Mr, Louis Dubinsky and Miss Ruth Mansfield. At the close of this dance, we sauntered around the wall to look over the crowd. I met Mrs. Ruth Bent-formerly Miss Cooke of Lexington Terrace- and her husband and inquired about some of my old friends who lived up their way. I found that Miriam Buncher had been married and had gone with her husband to live in Auburn, Me. How about Alice Welchans? Is she still living in the same place, l inquired. Oh,'no. She moved nearer town about three weeks ago and she quick- ly got results. She was married yes- terday.

Soon one might have seen Hocking from all directions toward the High School the throng that betokened the opening of another school year. We, the incoming Freshmen, kept close to our friends in the upper classes and wondered in wide-eyed amazement at the cool way with which they con- ducted themselves under such trying cir- cumstances. The little boys wandered about in new suits and hard collars, outwardly trying to assume that care- less, superior air, which distinguishes the Senior, and inwardly sighing for the time when they might have their first long trousers. But soon the bell cut short all medita- tion as well as conversation and we climbed the many flights of stairs to the Assembly hall. Here, as far as can be discovered, not one of our number made that supposedly inevitable Freshman mis- take of sitting down among the Seniors. Here we were again assigned to our re- spective divisions and left the hall again, only to wander about in a hopeless maze of corridors bordered by closed doors until some kind spirit guided us to our destinations, Rooms 4 and' 5. For a few days recess seemed a rather hopeless affair, for we did not quite know how to act. However, the new- ness soon wore off that as well as all our other proceedings. We gradually grew used to the startling fashions set by the Seniors, such as winding many yards of velvet ribbon around one's neck and ending off with a huge rosette under one ear. Some of our more enterpris- ing members even went so far as to at- tempt copying these fashions with some very original and striking results. One thing which we found very hard was to attend to our lessons in study periods, especially when the boys were back yard or class was pas- story of Dido playing football in the when the Senior Latin sionately declaming the and Aeneas in the front of the room. Our first appearance in athletics came in the late fall. The inter-class foot- ball series started with a game between our class and 1917 and, in spite of much loyal cheering on the part of the girls and a fine assortment of muddy faces the part of the and aching joints on boys, our team lost by a score of 34-0. the boys played games with the Nothing daunted, off their basket-ball Sophomores,.only to be defeated again, and the girls repeated the process. One day in the lower corridor it seemed for a little while as if we were going to get ia chance to distinguish our- selves in swimming, for quite a flood had made walking dangerous, but when the tide turned, we found it was all caused by the weeping of one little Freshman, Walter Vaughan, who had fallen down and cracked his shins. Much excitement was caused on January 7 by' the announcement of a boxing and wrestling match in the gym- nasium. After dodging under rope bar- riers, some of the girls managed to gain entrance and cheered on everyone indis- criminately. But because the author- ities 'feared that such rough sights might have a bad effect on our feeble constitutions, we were banished from all subsequent matches.

I might add here, in order not to appear to claim too much honor for the class, that there was no fourth place on this occasion. In the spring c-ame the class baseball games and in our game with the Sopho- mores, we almost won, but finally suc- ceeded in losing again by a score of 11-10. By the end of the year, we were all ready for a vacation and although we did not look forward to next year's les- sons with any great pleasure, we did anticipate the time when we would be allowed officers and class socials and when we could tease the Freshmen as the Sophomores had us. The summer passed all too quickly and in September we 'again found our- selves back at our old occupations. But what a change this year! Our home rooms were on. the second Hoor, and when by chance we had to go down to the first, our sense of fitness was deeply shocked by the swarms of mere children who so inconsiderately blocked the stairs and halls. At first we re- marked with superior Sophomore smiles that the lower floor had been given over to a day-nursery, but we soon dis- covered they were only Freshmen af- ter all. Our Erst class meeting was held on October 8 in the assembly hall and there surely will never be another quite like it. Here we elected our class oflicers as follows: Eugene Powers, President: Isabelle Dauncey, Vice President: Clifton Tay- lor, Secretary: Winthrop Barnes, Treasurer and Albert Bent, Auditor, with Chester Fraim and Frank Smith, Athletic representatives. Soon after this another 'meeting was held to choose class colors, and Yale-blue A A A A A A A and white won out after a close race with old rose and gray. After a particularly success-ful foot- ball season a post-season game was arranged between Waltham and Ever- ett to be played at Fenway Park on November 27. Several cars full of enthusiastic fans went from Waltham and supported the team loyally. Af- ter a glorious game the score ended 6-0 against us. Were we down-heart- ed? No! We had our own opinions about the luck of the day. I am sure that if a vote should be taken as to our favorite study, declam- ation would win unanimously. This was our experience with this delight- ful subject and when the lists of names were posted we clustered about them with much the same feeling as had the old Romans in the days of Sulla's proscriptions. On December 17, our first class so- cial was held, a middy blouse party, with Clifton Taylor as chairman of the committee. The hall was decor- ated with pennants collected from all members of the class and crepe paper in the class colors, but the feature was our class banner which the mem- bers of the committee had made for the occasion. There were the usual thrilling games of live-and-seven and drop-the-handkerchief and then, best of all, ice-cream. In fact our hilarity rose to such a pitch upon the forma- tion of a snake dance that before we knew it, it was ten o'clock, high time for little Sophs to be- in bed. Soon after this, our world was sad- dened by the departure of Mr. Dame, but we more than recovered upon the arrival of Mr. Fradd, who, before the year was up, had gained the respect and admiration of us all. ' Our luck in athletics took ae decided turn for the better this year and we won the school championships in foot- ball, boys' basket-ball, and track meet.

As soon as the weather grew warm enough for the windows to be open, we fortunate members who sat in Miss Hallis room, each contributed our two cents, and lo--the window was decorated by a p-ansy box of the largest and most luxuriant type, and each could have one pansy every other week. On June 2 came our second and last social of the year, a character party. Phil Kingsbury kept us in gales of laughter all the evening and finally took a prize for the most ridiculous costume. Mr. Burke took iiash-light pictures at ten o'clock and then we dispersed after a hearty cheer for 1918, deciding that socials were jolly affairs. Then came our grand dramatic ef- fort of the year, Pyramus and Thisbe, presented by the A division in Room 17. On this occasion Danny Rubens, well-known matinee-idol, took the audi- ence by storm by heroically dying in a corner and then rolling over to the middle of the stage. Near the end of June the girls of the entire school held a track meet at the athletic field, the iirst event of its kind recorded in the archives of Waltham High School. Although ev- ery girl went into every event, Edna Oliver usually managed to come out with the blue ribbon. We had de- barred the boys that afternoonvbut a few had reserved seats under the grand stand and used them unknown to the authorities in charge through- out the entire affair. This was the last event of the year except one, Leslie's adoption of a startling new hair-comb which Immediately re- ceived a unanimous vote of approval. On June 22, with tears streaming down our faces, we were forced to abandon our studies for nine long weeks. However, these weeks did not prove so monotonous as we had ex- pected and before we knew where the time had gone, we were back at school for our Junior year. This year We were so much above such triiies that we did not mind the crowd of little people with curls who again invaded our domain. Early in the year we held a meet- ing and chose our oflicers for the year. Eugene Powers was re-elected Presi- dent, Isabelle Dauncey, Vice-President, and Albert Bent, Auditor, and Edna Oliver, was elected Secretary and Treasurer. The girls instituted a new sport this year. Field hockey was played very strenuously during the fall at Bicycle Park under the guidance of Miss Mon- ahon. Under the titles of Army and Navy we played many Wild games, especially when Miss Hall joined with us. In foot-ball we again won the cham- pionship of the school. As far as lessons went, this was our hardest year. Some few of us started out bravely with a fixed re- solve to conquer the French language, but although we have been at it ever since, we have not yet accomplished that fact. Our only rays of pleasure were caused by Stedman's struggles with his vowels and the rare occasion when Miss Wilson began the lesson in German. When we were not sneezing over our French, it was algebra which troubled us, and between quadratic equations and fractional exponents, it is a wonder Miss Pratt did not finish us all. As for Latin, we had always been' led to believe that Spanish was the only real language to swear in, .., A A U e'.f's-e'e.f'Q.-e'sif.f'ss-2'gf'4:'f's-fS.'sie'i:f'i:e's-fE'.'s:f'sf:'.'sf5a'si-'f'sfL1. 1-11151 'via 'vii 'se-eve.

Our iirst social had been held Nov- ember l7 and on March 9 a, barn-party was given as the second one. The af- fair started with a leap-year grand march, which was a huge success as the girls were not so bashful as the boys sometimes are at socials. Mr. Fradd and Mr. Ward looked particu- larly sweet in their sunbonnets and were so infatuated with their own ap- pearances that they insisted on stand- ing right in the middle of the group to have their pictures taken. ' But soon we were plunged into the deepest gloom over the departure of Mr. Fradd for Brookline. The whole school assembled in the hall while the boys presented him with testimonials of regard. When he made a speech, we literally raised the roof several inches. Surely no story of 1917 would be complete without mention of the Uni- ted States' declaration of war on Ger- many, April 6. Never having lived during a previous war, we expected the army to rise in its might and set sail for France the following day, and when this did not happen and our lives went on about as usual, we seemed to forget all about the war. But one morning we were rudely awakened, for one of the High School boys was leaving that very day to do his duty in the United States Navy, and we are proud to say that that boy. Wyman Rogers, was a member of our class. . It was thought best to hold the Junior Prom. as usual, and May 25 was decided on as the date. By de- ciding not to wear evening dresses the girls made the affair less formal than usual, but surely more fitting for war-time. VVe all listened with interest and ..N..5..-,..,.-e-N-R-N-K-N--x 1-sw-xr-Ne-N--,vs fu rw 'r9.'r?.'f?.4'9.'r?.4s?.'f1X.'f?.'f1N.'fr'.'-'?.J3'.'r:'.'-3.'c'.'r?.'f9.'n'. amusement while the history of the class of 1917 was read by Miriam Bisbee and the future destinies of its members were decreed by Charles McGahan. After this there was dancing till midnight when the party broke up with the verdict: A huge success. During June some of the boys en- listed in the Boys' Working Reserve to do farm work for the summer and the girls, not to be outdone, took up canning under the direction of Miss Hunter. We also learned to knit and when we were not working for the Red Cross. we made ourselves sweaters of such brilliant and varied hues that when we returned to school in the fall, Mr. Ward made numerous scathing remarks. All to no purpose. we wore them iust the same. The girls started out by bringing their knitting to school and knitting right through study periods, 1-ecifafiops. and all. hut. of course, it soon became evident that this was incompatible with school work, so a curtailed program of knitting hours was adopted. We soon found out that the girls were not the only ones who had learned to knit. Mr. Burke proudly displayed a sweater he was making and when afghans came into vogue, the captain of the foot-ball team gallantly helped out by knit- ting a snuare. or rather an oblong. For the first time in many years the school foot-ball team lost more games than it won. due partly to the tact that many of our best men were playing a far greater game at some training camp or in France. At least it cannot be said tha.t Waltham took advantage of war time to es- tablish her reputation in athletics. At a class meeting early in Octo- ber we re-elected all the 'oflicers of the previous year. ......,....,..,...,..,..,..c..,....-. ..-t..

This is the first time that cartoons have been introduced into our paper and they have added much to its popu- larity. V In December the annual Senior dance was held at Nutting's and was a very enjoyable and successful oc- casion. Through the fault of no one in particular, we did not hold our first social until January 18, but when at last it did come, we were pleasantly surprised to find that this year we had attained a sufficient age to be allowed to stay until 10.30. In January a class meeting was called to present the subject of a school service flag. Alice French was appointed chairman of a com- mittee to discuss the matter. The Junior and Sophomore classes were also appealed to and a collection was taken up among the classes. Soon after we returned from our Christmas vacation, the dedication exercises were held. The handsome iiag which now hangs in the assem- bly hall will always be a proud mem- orial to the Waltham High School boys who did their bit in their coun- try's hour of need. Another result of the war was much in evidence on the Hrst day of April. We thought the government was playing an April fool's day joke on us by trying to make us believe that the proper time to come to school in the morning was seven o'clock. But after We had gotten used to rising in the dewy dampness of early morning, We cheerfully said, C'est la guerre, and let it go at that. Among the intellectual pleasures of our Senior year was the reading .1 .. .- .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . of Milton's Comus. Of course, we all enjoyed it immensely and one line caused hot argument. We could not decide whether clouted shoon meant country peasants or a confused appearance. This year for the first time the girls won the championship of the school in basket-ball by defeating successively each of the other classes. The Junior Red Cross movement struck Waltham during the winter and it was decided to make the school a chapter. So a drive was started for annual dues and a race was carried on to see which room and class should get 100 per cent first. Our class Won! A great deal of excitement was caused one day in February by the appearance of posters in the corri- dors announcing a pop-corn ball sale for the benefit of the Junior Red Cross. When the eventful recess arrived the balls sold so fast that many of us did not even see one, much less get near enough to buy one. But over 2510.00 was cleared so we did not mind. A few weeks ago we had the priv- ilege of hearing one of the most stirring addresses ever delivered in the High School Hall. The speaker was Mr. Crowell. He had just re- turned from doing Y. M. C. A. work in France, and he gave us a wonder- fully clear idea of the importance of the work there and how much it means to the boys. During the Third Liberty Loan several from the school were the four minute speakers at the local theatres and one morning after de- votional exercises, George Kelly and Gwendolyn French gave very appeal- ing and convincing speeches at the High School. ... a.ma....a......A.............-..,....... as 949.41 ra .fa .fe .fs f6 . ,Q P090 Tfv'0'lf3'-TWO C L A S S H I S T O R Y On April 18, some members of the class celebrated St. Arthur's day in a very festive and splendid manner in honor of Mr. Burke whose birth- day it was supposed to be. But after he had been presented with at least eight birthday cakes and nu- merous other costly gifts, the secret came out that this Was only another of Mr. Burke's jokes and that it was not his birthday after all. Very early the girls began to think about what they would wear for graduation. Some favored sim- ple dresses, some shirt-waists and skirts, and still others middv blouses. So a meeting of the girls was called together and conducted by Isabelle Dauncey, vice-president of the class. After a long debate, which the Mirror tells us Was car- ried on in a very orderly and admir- able manner, the majority decided on middies and White skirts. Just before our last vacation Mr. Eaton made the announcement of the graduation honors, assigned by the faculty in recognition of high records established during the four years. Dorothy Smith Was chosen valedictorian, Edward St. Jacques. salutatorian, and Thomas Riley and 0 ., ol? 9, Q l 7 Y X Q Dorothy Muzzey were honorably mentioned. Last week on Friday and Satur- day nights was held one of the greatest events of our High School life, the Senior play. Eugene Pow- ers' was chairman and he and his committee after much careful con- sideration had chosen Secret Ser- vice by William Gillette, a plav especially fitted to these times, as it is a War play. All members of the cast rellected much glory on the work of Miss Tibbetts, the coach. From an artistic as well as a inan- cial standpoint, the play Was a big success. The entire net proceeds will be given to the Junior Red Cross instead of going into the class treasury as is usually the case. And now we have gathered at the invitation of the Juniors for the last big event before the one which ends our high school life. Some Will go on to higher institutions, some will enter the busy life of the outside world, but Whoever We are and Wherever We may be, let us remem- ber that -our country needs REAL men and women in the future and let us try to be Worthy of the most glorious flag on earth. fo :mx at N 4.6 Q0 ml 57 I 4 JM NC, 3 -QAM His eilfzqxia Q5 16 16 16 16 ff ff ff 1r ff If 16 ff If 16 16 ff ff ff It 16 ff 11 16 ff If ff ff If 16 ff ff ft if 16 16 16 ff ff If 16 16 16 ff 16 16 ff ff It ft If 16 ff ff If If If 16 16 16 flf fl? ff ff 1r G .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U .U a.fe.fN,4e:e,'e.'s.fN.4a.fs.'b.fs.fs.fe.fe.fs:N.fN4N,4X,fS.fQ Sfsfxfsfefegxkafsfsxfeafzafefefess Class of 1918 Charlotte Oxford Bates T Miriam Buncher Ruth Elizabeth Cooke Adele Eichler Rebecca Cook Farnsworth T Alice Elizabeth French Margaret Hibberd Helen Adeline Kirwin T Dorothy Eleanor Muzzey Edith Therese Peterson .Xlarion Record Sampson Chester John Fraim Edward Bacon Hamill Eugene Hudson Powers Thomas Joseph Riley Kendall Bailey Rowell Edward Harry St. Jacques Walter lVright Vaughan T Technical Co1u'se Ronald Stanley Beamish Charles Edward Bond T Louis Dubinsky Herbert Melvin French Carl John Grip T Clifford J.
