I wish to as- sure you that we appreciate your coming here to help us to make this last event a success. For us, these exercises represent the top of the ladder, which for four years we have been slowly but patiently climbing. We have been obliged to spend these four years in very stir- ring and somewhat troublesome times. War was declared by the European powers about a year before we entered the High School, it was during our Sophomore year that we cheered Uncle Sam's entry, and now, peace is finally concluded just as we graduate. Now that the war is over, many changes are sure to be introduced into our educational systems. It has been said, and in some cases with some degree of truth, that the high school of today is not adapted to the needs of the many, but prepares only for college. For some time educators have also expressed dissatisfac- tion with the studies, and the methods of teaching them, in the last two years of the grammar school. Qur present system of schools seems to afford criticism on three points: l. The abruptness of the change between the grammar and the high schools. 2. The large amount of retarding, elimin- ation, and levelling in our grammar schools. 3. The late provision for recognition of individual differences. The studies and the methods of teaching them, in the high schools are so different from those of the grammar schools that it is some time before the bewildered freshman com- mences to see any light. From one teacher, who taught him in every subject, and who knew him in every mood, he is suddenly con- fronted by several teachers, not one of whom knows him. Then again, grammar school teachers are graduates of normal schools, where as much emphasis is put on methods of teaching as into the subject matter itself, While on the other hand, high school teachers are college graduates who have been taught the subject matter, but not so much the meth- ods of teaching. This is bound to create a dif- ference in the methods of teaching in the grammar and the high schools. As to retarding and elimination, if a pupil is dull in a certain subject and fails in it for a year, even though he is in good standing in the rest of his studies, he must repeat them all in order to make up the one subject in which he failed. This causes a needless and wasteful amount of repetition, which becomes discour- aging and monotonous to the pupil. As to the last fault, no recognition of in- dividual differences is made until the pupil has reached the high school. Here, for the hrst time, he is allowed to choose the studies which he wishes to take. T To meet these needs, the junior High School was introducd several years ago in one of our western states. The number of these junior high schools has gained so rapidly in the last three years, that there are now over one hundred here in New England, alone. This new unit is defined as a new grouping of grades seven and eight of the grammar school, with the first year of high school, in which there shall be freedom in choice of studies by pupils, a considerable change in the tradi- tional content of the subjects and methods of instruction, departmental teaching, promo- tion by subject, and prevocational work. Under the junior high school plan, the ap- titudes and abilities of the pupil are more easily discovered and provided for, owing to the choice in studies which is allowed. The uncertainty of the pupil as to what he really wishes to do, is met by the use of prevocation- al work. Because of this, manual training, printing, household arts, and business courses have been included in the junior high school program. The pupil is not expected to gain any especial skill in this work, but merely to find out for himself the kind of work for which he has the greatest aptitude. Mistakes in choices are less costly in this early period of the pupil's life, than if made later, as in high school or college. Another advantage of the junior high school is found in its departmental instruction. lt has 94 THE MIRROR . been found that the teacher's' energy is saved, and her efficiency raised, by limiting her field of work. The practise of some junior high schools having two teachers in the first year, three in the second, and full departmental teaching in the third, seems to be a great step towards a gradual transition from the one teacher plan of the grammar school, to the departmental plan of the high. Still another change, to be brought about by this plan, is the earlier introduction of certain subjects, especially modern languages. It is now iunanimously agreed among educators that the seventh grade is a better place to begin the study of a language, than is the first year of high school. Thus, Latin, French, Spanish, and German will have a place in the studies of this new institution. This argument for start- ing languages earlier in .life is conclusively proved to us every day, by the foreign immi- grant family, for the small child is carrying on a conversation in English longbefore the parents can utter even a few broken sentences. It is probable that you have already asked the question, Why can't we simply take our schools as they are, andintroduce the new studies there, without beginning an entirely new institution P This is easily answered, for in every department of life it is found easier to create a new institution than to reform the old one which is so hampered by set ideas and old traditions. As in all plans, however, there are some dis- advantages. Of these, there seem to be but three that deserve serious consideration :- The first is that the establishment of a junior high school will make it necessary for the pupils to travel greater distances to school. This is of course a local argument and has greater force in some communities than in oth- ers. Conditions in Waltham make it unneces- sary to ,consider seriously this problem. The large building which will be started this year on the site of the present North Grammar will be strictly a junior high school. Thus, pupils who would attend the North Grammar in grades seven and eight will go to the same place under the junior high plan. The South Grammar could also be converted into a jun- ior high school if its primary buildings were enlarged, so as to retain the pupils up to and including the sixth grade. The adoption of the junior high school plan would relieve the High School by taking over the hrst year stu- dents, and it may prove the most feasible way of making the present High School building serve out its term of usefulness. The second objection raised against the junior high school is that under this plan there is too early and too marked a differen- tiation in the work of the pupils. For the issue of this question, however, we can only wait, for the schools have not been in operation long enough for us to reach any definite conclu- sions. The third objection is that the reorganiza- tion of the school system and the establishment of the junior high would mean increased cost to the tax-payer. Several schools have claimed a decreased cost, because under this plan there is a great falling off in the number of repeat- ing pupils. Qn the whole, however, testimony seems to show that the junior high schools do cost a little more but that they are well worth lt. But when education is the one sure method of combating Bolshevism, and is the only sup- port which keeps the human race from falling back to the ways of our cave men ancestors, why consider a slight increase in cost? The country as a whole spent more for war pur- poses in a week than is spent on education in a year. Thus, as the junior high school, in its wider scope, will solve many of the problems of reconstruction, let us give it our fullest sup- port and prove that modern maxim, Give the children half a chance and the whole world will stand amazed at the result. THE MIRROR 95 VAL ED I CTO RY ALFRED CECIL SMART. Ladies and Gentlemen: As we come to these exercises tonight, the last public affair of our high school course, we have the distinction of being the first war class to graduate. It was during our last year at the grammar school that the declaration of war between the European powers electrified the Whole world. The turmoil went on dur- ing our high school course until finally Uncle Sam entered the struggle. Then, things be- gan to change all around us and assumed a military aspect. Training camps were estab- lished in every section of the country and boys were marching away daily, some even from our own high school. With great anxiety we lived through the dark days until the tide gradually turned. The Germans were conquered! And now as We are graduating, peace is about to be declared. Everything has- been upset by the recent conflict and is now in the process of recon- struction. Belgium and northern France have been hopelessly shattered. This devastated area includes many mines, mercantile centers, and much of the best agricultural land. Homes, factories and industries must be rebuilt and de- veloped. Every day cripples are coming back from the field who must be refitted and re-ed- ucated for further employment of some sort. Most of the large factories have been turning out War material for the last four years and have been going full blast, night and day to help rush through the production of the war necessities. Women and young girls have been employed in the places of men gone to the front. All these establishments must now be ad- justed to the normal basis and return to the manufacture of their peace-time products. This reconstruction work is a difficult oper- ation and requires some of the spirit shown by the nations during the war. When the safe- ty of the world was menaced by the ambitions of the European War Lord, the nations 'if- fected directly and indirectly, laid aside their petty jealousies and quarrels, united and fought side by side, in the firm belief that right would ultimately conquer wrong. They realized that each one alone could not cope with the situation and that it was useless to try. People did likewise. Selfishness was put aside and everybody devoted his energies to winning the war. Relief organizations sprang up everywhere and the work was pushed along with amazing speed. There was a stronger feeling of self-sacrifice than the world had ever beforefknown. ln fact, self-sacrifice seemed to be the by-word of almost every household. Every drive for Liberty Loans, for the Red Cross, for the Salvation Army was liberally oversubscribed. War-time restrictions were ac- cepted as a matter of course. Jealousy vanished even from national politics. The people knew that the better a government they had to direct their affairs, the sooner the war would be won and over. This unselfish spirit was one of the main factors in winning the war. Now that the carnage is over and the com- mon danger has been removed, the world seems to be falling back into its former state. Wrangles have again started up between the nations as is evidenced at the Peace Table. Nu- merous difliculties in the making of the peace terms must inevitably be encountered, but what is unnecessary is the renewing of the troubles interrupted by the war. V The Chinese and Japanese situation is an illustration of this condition. These two coun- tries were disputing over Korea for a number of yearsg then co-operated during the warg and at present are quarreling again. Now is a good time to settle such controversies while all the leading statesmen of the world are sit- ting together in congress. ln olden times when Greece was threatened with a Persian invasion, Athens and Sparta and the other large cities united to prepare for the defense of their country. They successfully times, drove back the foreign invaders three but when they were no longer in danger of the Persians, they fell to squabbling among them- selves again for the supremacy of Greece. They when weakened themselves so much that llfacedonia invaded their territory, they were unable to put up a stiff resistance and were conquered. This instance is being repeated to- day. There is no danger of our being conquer- 96 THE MIRROR ed by a foreign power, still the lesson is there to be learned just the same.iThe people and the politicians have aroused their jealousies again. They saw the value of co-operation during times of stress, they seem unable to stay united during times of peace. If this condition of affairs continues, peace will be delayed until the damage and suffer- ing caused by Germany will be somewhat for- gotten. This will enable her to sue for easy terms. It has often been said that one of Amer- ica's faults is that she forgets too easily. Ger- many thinks that America will soon forget about the War and will start international trade with her again. America must not over- look the havoc wrought by the Germans. She must hold them strictly responsible for it. Ger- many must be set up as an example to other nations, thereby helping to abolish warfare for all time. This inability of the nations to agree will delay not only peace, but also the reconstruc- tion. In order that this task of reorganiza- tion be accomplished, it is necessary that there be no lets or hindrances in the labors of re- building. The opportunity is here for every- body tp lend a helping hand. Seize it and prove that we can be soldiers of peace as well as soldiers of war. Several dominant traits of American manhood have been brought out during the last few years. Let us make them stand out still more. Carry on the war spir- it-the determination to see the thing through. Carpe Diem -Seize the Qpportunity--is our class motto. It is a good one for every per- son to follow. In later years the results of our efforts will plainly show whether America can avail herself of an opportunity when it pre- sents itself. And so-as I say farewell-I say also to you all Carpe Diem.

HANNAH WEBSTER HISTORIAN PROPIIET ERIC AXEL LINDBERG 98 THE MIRROR CLASS PRO PH ECY ERIC AXEL LINDBERG , One dark foggy morning in the year of 1926, while I Was crossing upper Main street, a huge banana-laden truck, driven by Frank Gavolio, knocked me down with terrific force. After the first shock of pain had passed away, I felt a sensation that was by no means un- pleasant. A thrill, joyous beyond description, raced through my veins, and as all earthly ob- jects faded away, I sank into a sleep more rest- ful than that of a child in its mother's arms. When I came out of this trance, I found myself in a deep, dark cavern near the summit of Prospect Hill. Upon feeling of my face, I discovered that my beard was as long as Mr. Wardls English assignments. In addition to this, a horrible craving for food and water almost drove me mad. While praying on my knees for a blueberry or a blackberry with which to satisfy my hunger, I was suddenly startled by the ap- pearance of a richly dressed woman, accom- panied by two attendants. Oh, Lord! I cried, upon recognizing the lady, lVIy prayer was for a blueberry, not an Alice Berry. Goodness me I exclaimed Alice, turning to her maids, who were Lavina Rayner and Ter- esa Ridlon, Let's hurry away from this mad- manfl Not being discouraged by the ill success of my first appeal, I now began a long prayer for water, in which I asked for no more than one wee swallow. Just then a small middle aged man, followed by a butler, dressed in fine liv- ery, passed by. Oh, Lord! I ejaculated again in anguish, I wished for a swallow of Water, not a Her- bert Swallowf, Before I had finished saying these words, Babe was on his way to the city, actually believing himself pursued by a lunatic. The butler, who was none other than Dana Whit- ing, became so absent-minded, that he repeat- ed that tremendously long speech of eighteen words, which he had so eloquently thundered forth while taking the part of a servant in Charley's Auntf, After Dana also had disappeared, I remem- bered the old proverb, Providence helps those who help themselves, which used to aid so many of the less brilliant students to pass in their exams. Inspired by this maxim, I de- scended the hill to Annabel Grigg's farm, where I hoped to obtain both food and drink. Not daring to appear before ladies in my pres- ent ragged condition, I was just about to re- sort to the use of a barrel, which had on it the label of the great Isaacson and Winterhalter Flour Mills, when, in a nearby field I per- ceived Henry Atwood and Earl Baker. Upon noticing my scarcity of clothes, these two indolent men offered to give me some of their thrown off garments if I would do a cer- tain amount of work. After completing the task assigned to me, I received a short broad coat from Earl and a pair of very long trous- ers from Henry. Thus attired I believed my- self to be almost as laugh-provoking as Frank Gavolio at the Senior Character Party. From Henry I now learned that the pres- ent year was 1936. This news lead me to be- lieve that I had been put to sleep for ten years by Gavolio's banana truck. Where I had been and what I had been doing during these yeare was beyond the scope of my imagination. At Annabel's house I received from Emily Alcock, the cook, as much food as I needed. She also informed me that the members of the Ladies' Afternoon Tea Club were in the house planning an entertainment which was to be given that evening in one of the down town theatres. While I was leaving Emily the Tea Club members began to file out of the front door and enter their automobiles. Among them I perceived Elizabeth Emery, Marguerite Watts and Ethel Eurbush. Shaking my head sadly, I took a short cut for the city across a nearby farm. The snoring of a seedy countryman, who lay sleeping next to a stonewall, now attracted by attention. His honest open face reminded me greatly of John Burke. In another section of the same farm, I stopped to watch Hub Starr start a pair of balky horses. This he did with great ease for Herbert always could start things go- X THE MIRROR . 99 ing. He even started that little excursion into the Orpheum in a fine manner, but alas, it ended disastrously. His better half, formerly Helen Smith, stood in the kitchen as I passed by, preparing dinner. From the number ot cooking utensils upon the stove, I came to the conclusion that Starr could handle a fork at the table as well as a hay fork in the fields. My love for animals now prompted me to step inside the dairy and see the cows. Here I found Mary Wellman and Rosamond Jacobs, who were milk-maids. Upon noticing a well- built sweet little calf, I asked what her name was. Her name's Anna, answered Mary. Well, Anna, I said, you are almost pret- ty enough to kiss. How dare you! cried a woman of whose presence behind the calf I had not been aware, If you say that again, I'll handle you rough or my name's not Anna Beamanff This meant exit for me and so I went in the general direction of the nearest highway. Be- fore going far, I overtook a Uknight of the road,,' who was in a worse condition than my- self. The poor gentleman of leisure was none other than Frank Hitchcock. As Frank and I were in the same plight, we agreed to join forces for the rest of the day. After reaching the nearest highway, we tried to stop Cecil Smart, who was driving by in a rickety old bakery wagon, but Cecil, fearing a wholesale raid, kept right on going. Just then we heard the wild tooting of a horn which sounded almost as bad as the noise the High School buglers used to make. Soon a huge fire truck tore around a distant bend like a crowd of hungry scholars on their way to the lunch room at recess. Sitting in the driver's seat, with one hand on the wheel, was Percy Harrel, while George Powers and Ralph Tal-- bot, with their legs darting skyward each time the truck hit an uneven spot, were hanging on ,to the rear with death-like grips. Here, these fellows were making records for punc- tuality in reaching fires, but when they attend- ed school, they never came on time to any- thing but class socials. The next place of interest to attract my at tention was a large building which stood on the side of a hill. Frank told me this was the Old Maids' Home, and that it was inhabit- ed by all the unfortunate women who did not succeed in catching husbands. As both Hitch- cock and I were curious, we entered the place s to look it over. The first person we came across was a disappointed looking woman, named Aleva Libby. On reaching the rear of the building, where several of the unfortunates were playing tennis, I perceived a dainty lit- tle woman who once had a vast number of admirers. When she attended High School they even used to come after her in automo- biles. As the tears streamed down my face, I heard Frank sigh as if his heart would break, Poor Norma Steelef, Among the other ladies present, I also saw Vivian Morse, Ruth Mott, and Beatrice Chapin. Say, Frank! I exclaimed, 'fI know just the man for these women to get after. Who's that? questioned Hitchcock. 'LWhy, who else, I replied, but Mr. Ar- thur Burke of Room ZZ. Just then Dwinell, the gardener, approach- ed. It did not surprise me to find Clarence here, for Dwinell used to flutter about women like a moth around an arc light. Leave immediately, or I'll sick Jerry, the dog, on you, he thundered in that deep bass voice which used to sound so stately and com- manding when he gave the order to march, during military drill, by yelling, Hashl Believing he would do as he threatened, Frank and I left the place much quicker than we came in. About a mile farther on, we walked into a Scotch Picnic. Here we found Alexander Stewart, lVIarion Mackenzie, and Anna Stewart. Alexander was blowing a bag- pipe, which sounded like the screeches which used to come from Harry Kniznick whenever he sat on a row of thumbtacks. The event was made more entertaining by Eddie Larkin, the great woman impersonator. It was now that one of the most shameful incidents of my life occurred. Two policewom- en, Jeannette Haldy and Marjorie Stone, drove up in a patrol wagon and arrested me. Is this the man? Jeannette asked of Swal-- low, who had approached unseen behind her. Yes, faltered Babe, he chased me all the way to the city. Well, he does look dangerous, was Mar- jorieis comment, as she and Jeannette threw me into the wagon. When my journey was over, I found myself within the walls of the State School for Feeble Minded, in Waverley. Chauncey Perry, who had charge of the in- stitution, after examining me, said: This man might be a trifle foolish but as far as I can see 100 THE MIRROR hels not mad. If you want to see a real insane person step into the next room. YVe entered the room and here we found lVIyron Allen, who also was watching the lunatic. Myron told me that he was a teacher of geometryg I did not doubt his statement, for he showed great promise in this subject even while in High School. After Jeannette and lwarjorie had seen the difference between a real insane person and myself, they still acted stubbornly and took me with them to the court house. Upon reaching the jail, which had been of little use after July I, 1919, I found Captain Clifford Estes in charge. He was lenient with me and let me off easy. As I left the place I passed three more policewomen who were Viola Garfield, lwerle Heinstrom and Frances lXIarshall. I now confidently expected my troubles to be over, but I was still to receive a greater shock. Upon entering IXIain street, I saw a new City Hall. I later learned that it was designed by Bertram VVarren and built by the Emery Construction Company. My attention was soon attracted by a large crowd which had gathered on the common around a high platform, upon which stood a very small man. Before long the mob began to cry, Burn 'im, burn 'im, burn 'im. Chl I cried, Do they really intend to burn him ? No, no, laughed a lady, whom I rec- ognized as Evelyn Pineo, owner of a nearby candy store, these folks are just giving three cheers for 'Eddie' Burnham, the new city man- ager. ' lVIy joy upon hearing this good news was soon changed to horror, for Dorothy Greeley and Ethel Spencer now sang a duet while IVillis Bean's orchestra played the accompan- iment, in honor of the occasion. The noise which they produced sounded a great deal like the technical division during a study period. As I was in great need of money, I dropped into a bank where ten years before I had an account. The president of this insti- tution was Frank Gavolio, who had made his fortune in the banana business, while Edward Curry, his right hand man, was cashier. Gen- evieve Bucher and Elsie Copeland were also employed here. Immediately after obtaining some money, I ran into a dry-goods store, where I was waited on by Ralph Dougherty, the manager, person- ally. He had some trouble in finding a suit that would suit, and almost went into a fit try- ing to get a hat to fit, but after half an hour of hard work he finally found what I wanted. Upon leaving Ralph, I felt as strange and foolish in my new clothes as Alexander Stew- art when he wore a derby hat to school for the first time. Marjorie Warren's shoe store was the next place to receive my patronage and here I found the salesman to be Harry Kniznick. He sold me a pair of shoes which I knew were poor stock, but Harry, who could talk even when he had nothing to say, caused me to take what he gave me in order to escape suffoca- iton. Before leaving the store, I conversed with Archer Rogers, who was a special policeman, and his wife, formerly Louise VVolfe. They informed me that William Morgan and Ira Orr were collectors for the city. At first I thought Ira and Hearn collected money, but I later learned that it was ashes. After taking leave of Archer and his pretty wife, I breezed into Donald Drury's barber shop. Among the women barbers employed by him were Dorothy Bills, Bertha Carney, and Thelma Fornes. His wife, once known as Esther Thompson, sat in the rear of the shop at a manicuring table. From the sharp words that passed between the pair, I came to the conclusion that, though Donald owned the place, he was far from being boss. He later told me that married life was not what it was cracked up to be. Just as Dorothy finished combing my hair fwhich was easily done as I was rather baldj Bertha cut the man in her chair. Oh! cried the victim, you've killed me. I'm done! I'm done! VVhy, so you are, I exclaimed, recogniz- ing Francis Dunn, You're Dunn, but I'm glad, to tell you that you're not finished. Let's leave this place while alivef' moaned Francis. To this I readily agreed. As Dunn's cut was rather deep, we set out for the nearest doctor. While passing down Moody street, we came upon a long line of men standing in front of an office building. Some were old and some were young, but they all seemed anxious to get somewhere. We could not understand this until we read the sign over the door into which the line van- ished. It read: Jessie Reed, Piano Teacher. Cf course that explained everything, for Jes- THE MIRROR HERBERT WEST STARR PRESIDENT 'WN fl , Ii 14 1' QI 2, 'Q-J' ' A ' J ' Q.. . ,y 25- V to SARAH HELEN SMITH FRANCIS WILLIAM DUNN 102 THE MIRROR sie somehow always did attract the men folk, especially Eddie Larkin. ' YVe soon entered the office of Doctor Man- zer, but when Dunn saw the carpenter's tools which Cliff intended to employ on him, even the pretty face of Isabel Fulton, CIiff's assist- ant, could not keep him from departing to re- gions unknown. As I had no reason to fear for my life, I re- mained and asked llkflanzer if he knew what had become of Edith Olson. VVhy, yes, was the answer, she's work- ing in a factory in Boston making eyes in needles. VVell, well, I said, she ought to be able to do that as she made enough eyes at the fel- lows in school to furnish a million needles. After leaving Cliff, I made a bee line for the nearest lunch room where I was waited on by Hannah Richardson, formerly Hannah Webster. She was assisted by Edith Bamforth, Helen Burroughs, and Vivian Clarke. When I asked Hannah how she like to wait on other people, she told me it was not half as bad as waiting on Lester. How's that? I asked. VVell, she said, I had to wait on him five years before he made up his mind to propose. Richardson soon began to converse with me and so I asked him if he knew what had be- come of Ernest Grip. Sure, was the answer, he owns a thumb- tack factory down in Bemis and Ernest cer- tainly knows the fine points about thumb- tacksfl , Well, why shouldn't he? I grunted, He sat on enough in school. A newsboy now came in, so I purchased a paper, the editor of which was VValter Ander- son. Qn the editorial page, I discovered several cartoons drawn by Doris Dennen. Qther writers for the paper were Thyra Dahl, Mary Davis and Jessie Downing. Campbell Kennedy, who was a salesman for a soup company, at this moment arose from his table and asked me if I knew that Clarence Evans and Vivian Hill were married. Why, no, I said. 'WVell, they are, continued the other, but theylve quarreled already. - Hump I I exclaimed, that reminds me of the old saying, 'Where there's honey there's bees,' and so any couple thinking of' going on a honeymoon trip should be careful or they are liable to get stung. Upon remembering that the Ladies' After- noon Tea Club were to give an entertainment that evening, I immediately set off for the theatre in which it was to be held. On my way I came across Samuel Dubinsky, a prominent merchant, who was going to the same place. From him I learned that Rebecca Wolk, Mar- ion Fernald, and Ellen Ryan were school teachers, and also that Martlia Ludden, Lena Sheer, and Mary Ryan worked in the Watch Factory. I At the entrance to the theatre, we purchased our tickets from Edith Bullock. As we came inside, Ingeborg Fredrickson, the pianist, was playing the Awakening of Spring, but be- fore she had finished awakening the spring, we were fast asleep. VVe did not wake up until lwarjorie Bacon sang Sleep Baby Sleepf, The Hodgkins sisters now performed an egg dance, but if the eggs were as bad as the dance they must have been ten years old. In the next act, which was called The Three Flowers, I perceived Violette Huguenin, Rose Mendel- sohn, and Daisy Dahl. I'm sorry to say it, but the truth is'that these three flowers were ar- tificially colored. The last on the program was Beatrice Willey, a reader. John Kimball, who sat in front of me turned around as soon as the curtain went down and shook hands with me. As my hand touched his the theatre began to fade from view. For an instant everything was dark, and then, when I came to, I found myself in a hospital, with Doctor John Albion Cottle Kimball holding on to my wrist. Around my bed stood three nurses, who were Alice Sawin, Julia Sherman and Edith Zimmer. 'Well, my man, said John, that banana truck came near finishing you. During the last nine hours you must have dreamt about some terrible monsters, for I never saw a man kick and make faces the way you did. He now gave me something to drink and in a few moments I was once more in dream- land.-Amen. THE MIRROR 103 HISTORY QF THE CLASS OF 1919 HANNAH ELIZABETH WEBSTER Four years ago saw the beginning of two momentous events-the great war was one, the class of 1919 was the other. Now both are almost at an end. The peace terms will soon be signed and in a few weeks our class will be graduated and demobilized. On a hot, cloudy morn-ing in early Septem- ber, almost four years ago, two hundred timid and somewhat nervous young children gath- ered on the steps of the old high school that had seen so many entering classes embark on their high school careers. The class of 1919 began its career more abruptly than former classes, since there was no real graduation for us at Asbury Temple, such as other classes be- fore us had always had, to help them to realize that they were at last through with grammar school and childish things. When the bell rang imperatively through the corridors we little children followed our elders to the assembly hall where the fortunate ones sank gratefully into seats and oblivion, while those who could not find seats stood, painfully conspicuous, along the sides of the hall. In due course of time the children were assigned to divisions and home-rooms, and at once proceeded to get acquainted with fellow freshmen and with the teachers. Some, indeed, became acquainted with their teachers even more rapidly than with their classmates, since they had to spend extra time with the teachers after school. The foot- ball games, with the freshmen cheering in true freshmen style and vigor, and the secret admir- ation of the popular football captain and his equally popular team, are the clearest recollec- tions ofthe freshman year. Who has forgotten the post-season game with Everett at Fenway Park, when we were so proud of our team that there was no sting in our 6-0 defeat? There were no freshman socials to brighten our gloomy days of study, but on the other hand, there were no class officials to harangue us for our possible lack of class spirit. In the spring the school turned out to Mr. Boyd's vaudeville given in behalf of The Mirror. All the boys particularly admired the remarkable female Caruso imported for the occasion, but after her last solo, Mamselle. Caruso took off her Wig, and lo, she was a boy! Not long after this ,Iune came, and without visible regret the freshmen left their freshmanship forever-if the teachers were sufficiently kind. Our sophomore year began during an epi- demic of infantile paralysis, and Room 16 was turned into a sort of quarantine where many a pupil spent a pleasant morning doing nothing but wait for the doctor to come and assure him that no germs lurked unawares. This year football was not as successful as usual. Many of our stars had gone out of our horizon entirely, and Mr. Dame had for- saken us the preceding spring, and departed to Lynn. In spite of the best efforts of Mr. Fradd, who proved to be the most popular member of the school while he was with us, we lost nearly as many games as we won. There was no mention of a post-season game, and we were almost convinced that our football career had reached the lamentable point where unfeeling people would speak of us as has-beensf' This year our class was formally organized, with the capable assistance of Mr. Burke. To establish a reputation for originality, and be- cause a little of freshman childishness still re- mained, the class broke all precedent and elect- ed a boy for vice-president instead of the cus- tomary girl. Herbert Starr was made our president and proved a wise choice. VVe were permitted one social this year, and the night our committee chose for the event was quite the stormiest one of the winter. Poor Miss Hall courageously started for the school, only to be disappointed, for her car was stalled in the snow, and after waiting half-an-hour for it to start again, she gave up and went home. lVIany others werefequally disappointed, but once at the school, the weather was forgotten. According to custom, the boys sat bashfully and firmly on one side of the hall while the girls sat hopefully and encouragingly on the other. But after the grand march and a stir- ring game of black and white the two sides became quite thoroughly mixed. At ten o'clock we were shooed out into the cold, cruel storm toward home. , VVith the coming of spring came the en- 10+ THE MIRROR . trance of our country into the war. No one had doubted that this time must come event- ually and most of us were glad that at last we could put aside poor excuses and be proud again of our nationality. Several of the boys in our class immediately went into the naval reserve, and others signed up for farm work. The lllemorial Day exercises this year were the most impressive and solemn in our mem- ory, for with the Grand Army veterans were our own boys in the uniforms of the army and navy. llloreover, the first lValtham High boy to lose his life in the war, Earle lVhittemore, one of our classmates, had died the day before at Commonwealth Pier. Grim war became more of a reality to us than ever before, and we realized, perhaps for the hrst time, that it meant more than just waving flags and wearing becoming uniforms. About this time llfliss Hall made cheery be- ginnings for the day by bringing Howers to school. One day she brought yellow roses which she distributed with great partiality to those who claimed an uncorrufptible faith in woman suffrage. Another day we girls were each given daisies, with orders to decorate boy's buttonhole as he came through the door. boys Strange how popular some of those proved to be. Some were almost fought over, and some haughtily declined the flowers on the ground that they contained numerous black bugs. Sometime before, each of the in- mates of Room 17 had brought ten cents, and now we joyfully watched the pretty pansies grow, and weeded them industriously-wheth- er they needed it or not. ' Soon it was June again, and to our surprise we found that we had survived the strain of upholding sophomore traditions and at last were Juniors. Early in the fall our class held its first meet- ing of the year and re-elected its president of the preceding year, but decided to conform to custom and elect a girl, Helen Smith, as vice- Football went from bad to worse president. this year. lllr. Fradd was coaching at Brook- after a season of crushing defeats, line, but the team pulled itself together for the annual game with Newton and played so hard and so like a lValtham team of old that Newton was stunned, and recovered only enough to win by one touchdown and a goal, in the last few min- utes of play, instead of piling up the one-sided score that they had planned. The year of 1917 was a busy one for the school. Besides the regular work, a Junior Red Cross was organized, and knitting-needles, which turned out splendid socks and sweaters were plied as industriously as the pens which turned out themes for Mr. Ward. The boys responded with true Americanism to the Y. haf. C. A. and Red Cross drives. One day many high school girls appeared in Red Cross caps and sold tags on windy street corners until they had filled their cardboard boxes and con- tracted severe colds. Other girls made count- less surgical dressings. The Senior Class sug- gested a school service flag, and the committee found the other three classes of the school as pleased with the idea as if they had thought of it themselves, and as glad to help. The result is a service flag of which we can be justly proud. A few of the older pupils turned four- minute speakers and did credit to their train- ing in Junior declamation. lllr. Boyd's annual entertainment took the form of a 'fSmileage Carnival, at Nutting's. Every one lived up to the name, and the pro- ceeds bought Smileage books for NValtham boys who were at Camp Devens. The next important event that broke the monotony of knitting and studying was the Junior Prom. The Senior girls, after a pro- tracted and very warm discussion, had decid- ed to wear middy blouses at graduation. The Junior girls, not to be outdone, urged plain simple dresses for the prom. For some rea- son, instead of our vice-president, our worthy president himself conducted the meeting in which this decision was reached, and was quite bewildered with the intricacies of femin- ine dress The prom was very successful, and the Juniors were duly thankful. Early in June the VVar Chest was erected on the Common and one day, on the stroke of twelve, all the school children in the city marched p3St the chest and dropped in a coin. lt was an unusual sight to see so many, many pupils, from wee kindergartners to tall and lanky seniors, assembled. To an onlooker it must have recalled the story of the Pied Piper of Hamlin. This was in the days before drill in the High School, and several boys who act- ed as marshals showed unsuspected military abilities. The Prom. was the last social event of the year and soon the last week of school had ar- rived. All the High School remembers the farewell fling of certain nameless members, of last year's graduating class.

Ernest Gri 106 THE MIRROR est boys reverted to former days and appeared in Buster Brown collars and flowing ties. The two biggest wheeled the third member of the trio down lVIoody street to the school, in a baby's perambulator. How sweetly innocent and infantile the youngest of the trio seemed, with his bouquet of flowers for teacher, and his little sailor hat! Then Roland Lenaerts drove his wonderful jitney to school for the last time, and we put away our books for the sum- mer. Vacation went only too swiftly, and we met on the steps of the High School last September with the dignity of staid and serious seniors. XVith the ease of fixed habit we settled down to our last year of High School with no loss of time, determined to make the most of what remained of our school life. Qurlpresident and vice-president were re-elected and the other of- ficers chosen in true parliamentary fashion. The class games furnished the only football for us this year, but for the first time in its history, 1919's team won the championship of the school. lVIaybe it was the waving feather in lXfIr. Lindberg's hat that changed our luck! lklilitary drill took the place of gym work this year and under the guidance of lwr. Goodrich the boys were initiated into the mys- teries of corporals and top-sergeants, squads and companies, setting up drill and signaling, commonly and aptly called wig-wagging. The drill is a very good thing, in its way, but it is to be hoped that next year Waltham will have a football team that will not rival an onion as a tear producer, when it really should be a reason and an excuse for cheers and un- musical school songs. November 11 was the most remarkable day of our whole school career. For once, calm, composed, conservative VValtham was fairly wild with joy. No Fourth of July was ever like Armistice Day. Informal parades roamed the streets from early morning till late even- ing, with all kinds of noise-producing instru- ments, from the dishpan borrowed by little son without mother,s permission to the musical claxon of the big automobile. Boys started to school and ended by joining someone's parade: while the faithful few who actually went to school were amply rewarded by being dis- missed almost at once. In the evening the whole town united in a single tremendous line of march, and the High School was one of the units. It was a day of proud rejoicing after a year and a half of fearful war. The Senior Dance, just after the Armistice, was a brilliant affair and for the first. time in nearly two years the High School girls ap- peared in nne feathers and glad raiment. Much of the success of our socials has depended on 'our hard working committees and we appre- ciate our good fortune inhaving such efficient chairmen. Un the day of our return from the Christ- mas vacation, the whole class was shocked and grieved to learn that one classmate would nev- er return with us again. Elsie Frye, probably one of the most talented girls of the school, loved and respected by teachers and scholars alike, had gone on. Editor of the Mirror, she had just completed the first issue, the only one which came out under her direction. Not until she had gone did we realize what it meant to see empty the place of one who rare- ly was absent from school even for a day. It was for ourselves, and not for her, that we grieved, for we knew that she had gone with no fear in her heart. In February lXfIr. Boyd gave his annual en- tertainment, this year a home-coming recep- tion to the boys of VValtham,High who have returned from the Great Adventure. The one act play, given by lNIiss Caldwell and Mr. Dwinell, was a horrible and discouraging warning of the possible Hooverism in store for us in the future. A short time ago the Senior class held a so- cial, a character party. By some unknown pro- cess, even the boys were persuaded to dress upl' this time, and the social was a credit to the class. Unly one lamentable accident marred the evening, lXfIr. Burke appeared with band- aged throat and hands the next Monday, be- cause the flash-light powder, with which he was about to take a picture of the party, had exploded. The Senior Play Committee had decided on Charlie's Aunt as 1919's contribution to Waltliam High's reputation for really good plays. The cast was chosen and ' splendidly coached by Miss Tibbets. Mr. Larkin ap- peared in a totally new but captivating role. He was Charlie's aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from, you know -until the real aunt appeared. A better cast couldn't have been found, and the play did justice to the coach, to the class and to the school. ' Now we have nearly reached the last of our schooldays. We have only a few more les- sons in Virgil and only a few more halting THE MIRROR 107 French recitations to stumble'through. Per- haps we are not as glad as we expected to be, in spite of unkind questions in English exam- ination, and baffling geometry problems that are so absurdly simple when the other fellow does them. And how we will miss our class- mates when 1919 is at last demobilizedl But though our schooldays are over, there is still work for us to do. lt is for us to carry on the work our boys have given their lives for in France. We must be the best kind of Americans that we can be, and find our par- ticular duty to the world, and then do it to the best of our ability, forbthe sake of our brothers who rest among the poppies of Flan- ders.
