Because the assembly hall was al- ready overcrowded with seniors and juniors, we were guided into class- rooms on the first flo-or by kind teachers who entertained us with ac- counts of school life or gave us gen- eral directions for finding rooms. Finally, at the call for sophomores, we rushed to the auditorium, roo-ms were assigned to us, and we rushed downstairs again, opening and clos- ing doors to look at the numbers. Most of us recall the day thus far. The rest of the morning is a blur of program cards, roll calls, personal statements, occasional errors, and long assignments for the following day. This chaos was relieved by the dismissal bell, and We wandered out into the sunshine slightly bewildered but obviously proud to be high school students. Although we felt quite at home before the end of the first week, we also began to realize that, although the upper classmen were the same we had known in junior high school, our teachers and the lessons they taught were not the same. Our knowledge of Latin, for instance, was too ele- mentary, geometry seemed to be a subject hitherto unknowng indeed, even the English language acquired new words and terms. Meanwhile, from the very first days of school, football practice had claimed the attention of the boys. As the season rolled on and closed with the team always on thexside of victory, our classmates who played M in the game rapidly became heroes equal to Ivanhoe and King Richard. After the Thanksgiving recess, however, the sophomore class seemed to be leading a monotonous life, but just at that time Mr. Crawford's plans for an operetta really devel- oped. The tedium of school work disappeared. Tryouts for the cast, open to members of all three classes, were announced, choruses and sol- diers practiced, and the orchestra re- hearsed. It was soon evident that many sophomores were theatrically inclined. Indeed, dramatics appeal- ed to so many that the Sophomore Dramatic Club, which now admits students of all classes to member- ship, was organized by the class of 1929 under the direction of Miss Rand. This club, whose charter members are to graduate this year, has grown in popularity and mem- bership every season. Shortly before the Christmas va- cation, the sophomore class met to elect its officers. The battle was long, noisy, and sometimes fierce, but the final count of votes gave the fol- lowing candidates large majorities: President, John McGurng Vice Pres- ident, Frances Cookeg Secretary- Treasurer, Jeannette Barrowg Audi- tor, Irad Hardy. William Storer, who had been elected chairman of the first social committee, announced the date, Fri- day evening, January 21, 1927. Alas, in spite of all, that could be done, the sophomore's human nature did not change. The first social was like all other first socials-merely a THE MIRROR LILLIAN SUNDIN Class Hifzforicm, 1929 THE Mraaor. 9 morning assembly-girls sitting on one side of the hall, boys opposite amusing themselves likewise. During the winter months of 1927, the high school skating rink was much in demand. When the boys' hockey team was not in action there, the girls' gym. classes were trans- ferred to the ice, and the rink was an especially popular meeting place during study periods. VVhen spring came, however, skates and hockey sticks immediately disappeared from the new coat lock- ers, while bats and gloves suddenly found their way to boys' lockers. Then, because it was spring and we wanted another social before be- coming juniors, the president called a second meeting, and we elected Jeannette Barrow chairman of the spring social committee. On the evening of May 13, l927, the sopho- mores returned to school to find the assembly hall transformed into a cabaret. Although it was Friday, the thirteenth, the cabaret was a social success. Only a few weeks of the school year then remained, the seniors had their class day, were graduated, and wesophomores were then free for the summer. The vacation seemed scarcely to have begun when we returned to school to greet our old friends as well as the sophomores, to whom we as- sumed an air of cool dignity. Once more we prepared to study hard, for our list of subjects had grown. Had we not been warned that the junior's life is one of study? During the first few days, the portable building afforded much amusement and aroused varied com- ment. How cautiously we splashed out there in the rain or, as winter ap- proached, slipped along the ice path to the annex door! U Our football players, determined to make a good showing although graduation had robbed them of all but one star performer, did well, and many were the men who received val- uable training for the coming season. In October we reorganized our class, electing as President, William Rhodesg Vice President, Frances Cookeg Secretary-Treasurer, Jean- nette Barrowg Auditor and Athletic Representative, Irad Hardy. A few days later we elected Emily Lancaster chairman of the social committee. This party was held on November 4, 1927. How different from the first sophomore social! To quote the newspaper-'CA good time was had by all. At this time rehearsals for the second operetta, Naughty Marietta, were begun, and our class again con- tributed to both cast and chorus. Several weeks later we chose our class colors and motto. Although the boys were slightly uncertain as to the exact shades, American Beauty combined with Sand were selected for class colors while Excelsior- Orzwani and Upward-be-came our motto. Of course report cards were issued quarterly throughout the year. We encountered quadratics and surds in algebra class, learned dates, and memorized reasons for the Revolu- tionary VVar with battles of the Civil VVar as lNIr. Fite gives them in his history book. Our business friends struggled for speed and accuracy in typewriting. Those who studied law concocted such puzzling court cases as to baffle the judge, but shorthand symbols completly amazed prepara- tory division students. Friday, April l3, 1928, was'the evening of the Superstitious Party of which Jeannette Barrows was chair- man. The hall had been strewn with black cats, opened umbrellas, broken mirrors, and unlucky signs suitable for the date when the juniors walked 10 p THE MIRROR under a tall ladder to gain admis- sion to the dance floor. When the year was rapidly draw- ing to a close, the Junior Promenade, given in honor of the class of 1928, remained uppermost in our thoughts. Irad Hardy, the chairman, and his committee decorated Nuttings-on-the- Charles with banners of both classes and gay streamers. Girls in formal evening gowns and boys wearing white flannels and dark coats danced away the evening of May eighteenth. Then the eagerly awaited night was past. After the promenade we finished the year quietly, the seniors graduat- ed, and we were left the oldest class at high school virtually seniors. We returned again on September 7, l928, to the opening day of school. There we were constantly admonished as seniors to set a good example, and with this in mind, the first day passed uneventfully. We soon discovered that a second addition had been made to the school circle and went to inspect the new portable which had been connected to its predecessor and the main build- ing by a covered alley-way. Fortu- nately those who come after us will not be obliged to run out in all kinds of weather to the annex. But won- ders did not cease there! For sever- al days electricians worked on the wiring and a junior's innocent re- quest of the previous year for lights was answered! From the opening of the football season in September until Thanks- giving, Waltham's football fever rose. '!Pile onto them. It's only Waltham's light team, was the bat- tle cry of each new-comerg yet eight teams finished the game sadder and wiser football players. Adding much to the enthusiasm of the fans and the fighting spirit of the team was the Waltham School Band making its first appearance in 1928. Early in the fall the senior class met to choose its officers who are: President, John McGurng Vice Pres- ident, Jeannette Barrowg Secretary, Gertrude lVIacDonaldg Treasurer, Arthur MacNeillg auditor, Irad Hardy. Several weeks later the class elect- ed Avery Steele chairman of the Se- nior Dance Committee, the major social event of the winter, which was conducted at Nuttings-on-the Charles. There on December l4, l928 friends and members of the class gathered to enjoy its last pub- lic dance. The social calendar of the winter and late spring was very full. Jean- nette Barrow announced the first so- cial on February 8, l929. A play was presented, and the remaining hours of the evening were devoted to dancing. How grown up we felt to be allowed to put off the last dance to a quarter to eleven! The weeks passed quickly. Our next task was to select the Senior Play chairman. The class, remem- bering with what great success he had planned the Senior Dance, immedi- ately chose Avery Steele as chairman. Nliss Chapman was again engaged as coach. Within a very short time March fifteenth and .sixteenth were announced for the presentation of The Show-Of. Once more the class of l929 scored a success, for the cast rose above all accidents to win mer- ited praise. A week later Arthur MacNeill was elected chairman of the Senior Class Picture committee. After samples had been submitted from va- rious studios, VVarren Kay was chos- en class photographer by an over- whelming majority vote. While the senior play had taken our attention, both boys and girls ATHEMIRRORKQ I1 had been playing basketball. Since the championship team of 1928 had graduated intact from junior room 4 to senior room 14, these boys became defending champions and retained their title in a long series of games. The girls played both league and class games at home and with neigh- boring cities. As the spring months rolled around, graduation seemed very near. Consequently, boys and girls .met and decided the question of what to wear. Ut is here noted that the boys' As- sembly to decide the momentous ques- tion lasted much longer than the girlsfj a Graduation music had been prac- ticed, pictures taken and re-taken, and the prophet, historian, and will- writer had already consulted old Mirrors and diaries, when the elec- tion of Stuart Deans as Senior Class Day chairman took place. Meanwhile, Leroy Phipps quickly made and completed plans for a senior social. Un Friday, May 24, in spite of the rain, many seniors -lg- came back to school prepared to en- joy the last social. At 10:45 a Wal- tham High cheer for Principal Burke followed by another for our own class of 1929, closed the party. Pmoger Walcott, baseball captain for 1929, led his team through a sea- son made successful by defeating Newton, 6 to 5, in one of the most interesting games ever played be- tween the two rival schools. On June 7, 1929, we attended the promenade given us by the class of 1930. The hours sped as we danced and laughed and talked, but all too soon the Dromenade was over leav- ing us only Class Day and Gradua- tion. 1 That is our past. Today we are holding our last exercises together here as a class. In less than a week we shall be graduated. But what- ever our future may be, let us some- times come back in memory to re-live the happy high school days of the class of 1929 whose record is honor- able and bright.

For many weeks the joints of the old high school across the way had squeaked in joyful anticipation of this magic hour, the time that had been set for the re-union of the class spirits. Before the twelfth clang faded into the darkness, flickering lights appeared in the corridors, the silence was broken by the sound of merry voices. Into the deserted class- rooms danced the merry spirits, out into the corridors again, then up the stairs to the assembly hall where they seated themselves in the very places you now are occupying! The Spirit of Waltham High School in her soft, Howing robes of red and white ascended the platform followed by a smaller spirit draped in rose and sand. A hush fell upon the assem- bly as the former stepped forward, raised her hand, and declared the meeting open: Members of the Waltham High School Association of Class Spirits, she announced, before a candidate may become a certified member of our organization, his last VVill and Testament must be drawn up, wit- nessed, and sealed before this as- sembly. We are gathered, therefore, to pass judgment on the Will of Class 1929 The spirit in robes of rose and sand stepped to the pulpit, unfolded a scroll, and began to read: We, the Class of 1929, of the City of Waltham, County of Middlesex, and state of Massachusetts, being of sound mind, memory, and under- standing Qin spite of the numerous doubts that the faculty may have had to the contrary, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. We hereby revoke all wills, codicils, or testamentary instruments by us at any time hereto- fore made. VVe, therefore, do de- vise and bequeath all our property real and otherwise as follows: To the class of '30, now our inex- perienced Juniors who are so easily puzzled by the intricacies of voting, we hereby present the sacred title, inalienable rights and privileges of this passing class, in addition to an automatic voting machine, guaran- teed to prevent more votes from be- ing cast than members present at fu- ture meetings. 4- eff -1, ef, ,je fp ,js fp We bequeath ten ,barrels of en- couragement to our shy little Sopho- mores to induce them to develop a few A pupils. VVhen their Honor Roll is announced in the future, we hope that Mr. Burke will be forced to take a fifteen-minute rest, during which time his hoarse voice will be restored to its normal, sweet tones. To Mr. Burke, our principal, whom numerous autograph books re- veal to be instructor of spanking, we leave permission to exercise the re- quirements of this position-after we have passed on. 14 THE MIRROR Miss Ober, who has voiced a pref- erence for the Scotch race, is hereby presented a Highland costume, in- cluding imported Scotch bagpipes, and a book of rare Scotch jokes, if such a book can be found. To Miss Cutting and her sewing classes we bequeath a supply of silk parachutes to insure their safety in their little cubby-hole classroom un- der the eves in case the roof should be wafted away by a playful breeze. if Pk Pk 31 For Miss Woodward we have or- dered a dainty steel Robot who will grant her slightest wish by merely whispering in his ear.

However, should Mr. Ward continue to wear his Ham- ing red tie to school, this legacy will be struck out by our administrators. 231 P21 all Pk Mr. Hodge's suppressed desire will soon be granted. To him we sympa- thetically leave a class of D pupils, with the hope that the monotony of writing A's and B's will cease to trouble him. This legacy will like- wise be struck from this document if Mr. Hodge should attempt to fright- en his classes next September, as he did our's last fall, by shaving off his moustache. No longer will Mr. Hollis have cause to complain about dish-washing that falls to his lot at school as well as at home. To this long-suffering gentleman we present a portable dish-washing and drying machine that will keep his laboratory utensils spotless. if P21 Pk Pk To Miss Burgess we leave a model studio equipped with a sufficient number of non-shimmying desks and non-skid paint jars, in addition to the promise of a peaceful future minus boys like Roger Wolcott- sweet little boys who will not ever think of bellowing Sonny Boy into the fortunately deaf ear of the plas- ter-cast baby. -I, J, J, xl, -.- -1- -1- fb A recent survey of.Miss Hall's Latin classes revealed the appalling fact that 92 2X3 per cent of her pu- pils were suffering from severe cases of Stretcfzeci-Nec!znfi5, a direct result of the Wfonder-zuh0'5 next disease. If Miss Hall, the indirect cause of this malady will discard her little white cards, we shall take special steps to procure an 'imported bronze sun-dial for her flower garden. . :k nk :fc 2: I A grandfather clock, guaranteed to keep irnPEPtFECT time, is be- queathed to Mr. Goodrich, who will some day experience the thrill, the excitement of being late to school. Because French is such a throat- tickling subject, we leave a life-long supply of cough-drops to Miss Clement, if, however, cough-drops should become hopelessly old-fash- ioned, the above endowment will be declared null and void, and a car- load of those famous coughless cig- arettes will be substituted.

What a mixture of emotions this season always brings with it! In some hearts there is an indescribable feeling of fear and the question con- tinually repeats itself, Shall I grad- uate? or Shall I be promoted? as the case may be. In direct anti- thesis to this type of pupil is the one who is confident and sure of receiv- ing the fruits of his scholastic labor. And there is the joyous, lowly Soph- omore who realizes that soon he will be gazing disdainfully upon the en- tering class and the Junior who sees before him that high and lordly po- sition of a Senior. And so this un- dercurrent of emotion runs through the school in these last few days, per- haps unnoticeable to an outsider but ever present to an undergraduate. But let us turn once more to the graduating class, the class of '29, They are leaving Waltham High never to enter it again as students. How they must hate to sever the bands of friendship and comradeship that have been made during the past three years! Now each is going out into the cold, hard world to make his life successful, each in his own way. In his life to come each is go- ing to apply the training given him during his high school career, and each will realize as never before the limitless value of this training. The Mirror wishes each and every member of the class of 1929 the best of luck and the highest success in all enterprises. CLEVELAND THOMAS, '30 THE MIRROR ROBERT WILSON Clczw Prophet, 1929 THE MIRROR 23 lass Trolohecy On this fifteenth day of June, nine- teen hundred and thirty-nine, I, on my deathbed as the result of guz- zling a beverage concocted by the con- cern of William Turner and Com- pany, dealers in milk, moose milk, feel it my profound duty to publish these memoirs of the class of '29. I earnestly beseech you to let me waste a little of your valuable time while you listen to a bit of extraca- nonical exposition, done solely for the purpose of acquainting you with yourselves. I pray that through any agony I may thrust upon you, you will have longanimity and sympathize with me in my most sincere effort. QI'm glad that's over.j Last week Phil Burke, still my buxom friend, asked me to locate him a book entitled Domestic Ani- mals and Their Care. I wondered what he wanted with such a book un- til I discovered that he and his wife, nee Hazel lVIcDonough, were blessed with a new and first addition to their family. Desiring to help poor'Phil, I mean the lucky father, I stopped at my favorite bookstore. To my surprise Benny Cutler, the proprietor, with his great horn-rimmed glasses and brilliant red vest seeming too small to circumscribe his equatorial regions, dashed into the store immediately at my request and returned shortly with a book. It was the wrong book, of course, but the title-Psychic Revelations of Professor Raymona' Smith--interesb ed me greatly, as I hadxno idea that M a fellow of such boisterous tempera- ment could restrain himself to in- dulge in writing a book on so heavy a subject. I walked off, turning the pages of the book at random, uncon- sciously leaving Ben pulling his hair at my utter neglect of re-embursing him for the volume. As I turned the pages, I came up- on a chapter head: The Psychoanal- ysis of the Human Mind. A thrill traversed my spine and I read on. Here are the very words that our il- lustrious Professor Smith had Writ- ten: lWy dear readers, I am very sure it is not apparent to your infe- rior intellects what the mental pecu- liarities of the animal scientifically classified as Homo Sapiens are. For example, among all people there is a definite connection, something that acts like radio waves. By a process long known by the Hindoos, it is pos- sible to concentrate these lines of force and by so doing to establish a connection between the parties in question. In this process it is nec- essary to have two people of equal mentality who, wanting to see a de- sired person, sit one on each side of a narrow table with knees touching and hands grasped gently but firmly and eyes gazing in a steadfast man- ner at each other-somehow this sounded familiar-and concentrate on the person in question. This formula invariably works if carried out in absolute accordance with di- rections, with the effect that the per- sons concentrating will be in actual association with the person being concentrated upon.

Consequently I immediately began to think of a person of a mentality equal to mine. I had been walking down the side- walk all the time I had been read- ing. When I looked up, I saw a very attractive sign slung above me on which was written: MacNeil, Jus- tice of the Peace . 'cEqual mental- ity-Arthur MacNeil-just the fel- low, thought I. I rushed into Arthur's office and in a few moments he and I were con- centrating for all we were Worth on Shirley Sweeney. The effort was a complete flop, however, either Shir- ley had no mind at all or Arthur's mentality was inferior to mine Qand I had my suspicions about Arthur.j Disgusted, I was about to leave the office when Clifford Maney and Glenna lVIacBride entered to be tied into a matrimonial knot or what not. Very much surprised, I asked Glenna if she wasn't still married to Lawrence McNamara. She admitted that she was, but declared that she was tired of his flirting with the customers at his beauty parlor and consequently wanted to get hitched up with a good respectable baker like cliff. A It took Arthur and me a full hour to convince Glenna that being mar- ried to two men was a bit irregular and that she had better return to her beauty specialist. When she had left, I turned to Cliff, who had been stand- ing passively by during the argu- ment, and shook his hand, for here was a person whose mind coincided with mine :-Why, I can remember how it had embarrassed me in school when his homework and mine were identical. I pushed him into the back room and soon we were concentrating on Shirley Sweeney again. Wonder of wonders, this time it worked. But what a sight we saw--Shirley sitting in a rocking chair with spectacles on the end of her nose, knitting--Who would have thought that our peppy Shirley would turn out to be a spin- ster? We were downcast. This cer- tainly is a mighty queer world. Cliff and I prepared ourselves for a surprise and concentrated on Mor- ton Ginsburg. A scene in a Turkish courtyard came before us. We saw Morty under a great bear skin hat slashing away at a group of Turks. I thought that he was doing a solo until I saw Lawson Hill rolling around on the ground trying to ex- tract his head from a brother to Mor- ty's hat and Arthur Weinstein busily slaying the victims of Morty's sword. I I wondered what the fray could be about until I saw Frank White, standing on a wall with his arms folded, looking very much like a Turk, leering at ithe scene with a wicked eye. A multitude of women were ar- ranged in picturesque positions in a nearby garden. Then I decided that Frank must have been hounded so by the women in America that he had been forced to retire to Turkey with a few of his favorites. At last Mor- ty slew his last Turk and dashed into the Harem. He seized a woman tenderly and soon was riding away on a gallant charger with her safe in his arms. I noticed when they passed that the woman was Frances Frazer. Lawson and Arthur had followed suit, rescuing Marjorie Bolio and Evelyn Cossaboon respectively-these lads were still evidently the same gallant fellows they had been in school. The scene faded, but we still had Frank White on our minds and we revived the scene to see if Frank really had had the whole female sec- I 26 THE MIRROR tion of the class of '29 transported to Turkey. Frank was busily taking count of stock in his harem. He had a list and was calling their names one by one. As they stood up to answer the roll, I recognized Ger- trude MacDonald and that auburn hair of hers, Oh, boylg Louise Row- ell, I bet she tells Frank What's what, Jeannette Barrow, there's nothing the matter with Frank's eyes, Olive Buttrick, Wait until Avery Steele gets out of the cooler. How he must repent using the mail for fraudulent purposes, Helen Crosby, that personified literary gem, Estella Gray, the boss, but not the favorite, and Mary Corrigan, whose scholarly intellect would make a guarantee that the Harem refrained from too much frivolityg last of all Mary Young, to keep the family reconciled. When our thoughts had ceased to harmonize on this subject, I mur- mured something about- Every dog has his day, Sinners always get their pay. Somehow this reminded Cliff of Alice Cosgrove so much that he made me concentrate with him on Alice, to see what difference ten years had made on her. Alice was sitting in a hearse while Roderick Gillis, her long-suffering husband, and William Pedersen, his partner, were busy fill- ing the vehicle with long boxes. Upon seeing the sign on the side of the hearse, 'cGillis and Pedersen, Undertakers, Chicago , I understood what Alice had meant when she told me that her husband was pros- pering in the wholesale business. I think he has hopes of outliving his wife and enjoying the rest of his life, but I'm not sure. ' A suggestion was proffered that we find whether ten years had sub- tracted anything from Ellen Childs. You remember what a prominent fig- ure Ellen was-no, I didn't say had. Upon getting into Cahoots again a scene closely resembling Old Home Week came before us. It was a group of young women, all making crazy motions. The central figure of this group turned out to be Rosa- mond Edgar, who looked exception- ally pleased. Clasping their hands and swaying about her were Gertrude Bliss, Vir- ginia Ellis, Madeline Mabie, and Marion Maclntyre. Ellen Childs was behind these persons with an air of proprietorship about her and a critical eye for the proceedings. After considering the amount of hats and other unspeakables hanging around the shop and the layout on Rosie, I decided that this was Ellen's Hab- erdasheryn, of which I had heard. Rosie must have been the foreign buyer back from a trip with some more vicious styles for the gullible feminine publicg and Gerty, Virgin- ia, Madeline, and Marion must have been the clerks to sell the same pub- lic the same styles that they seem so much taken up with all the time. Good Heavens, declared Cliff, can,t we run into anything more ex- citing to look at than a bunch of nit- wits ogling at a mess of clothes? Let's locate Phyllis Wilson. She may be doing something interesting. This seemed agreeable to me. Can you imagine our astonishment when, upon concentrating, we found that Phyllis was scrubbing the floor in'a bank? I wondered what reverses in life had forced Phyllis to such work. The write-up she got in the society page of the paper certainly changed my feeling of pity for her. What notoriety she did get! A society lady scrubbing Hoors. The lights went out for some un- known reason and left us in the dark. Wife Sl1'T1'T101'1Cd an electrician. After the wait of an hour, Herbert Dicks entered with a hammer in his hand. THE MIRROR 27 Ralph Carter, his helper, followed with a monkey wrench in his grasp, and Walter Jackson with a huge tool kit slung over his shoulder in role of assistant helper came trudg- ing bravely in last. The lights were soon fixed, that is, after Walter had been sent once to the shop for a Hashlight and again for a fuse. When these three proficient elec- tricians had left, I looked at my watch. By George, I said. Hlsnit it about time for the opera? You know lVIarian Coflin is a second Galli Curci at the Boston Opera House, ,and if we concentrate on her, we can horn in on the whole caboodle gratisf' The curtain had just risen when we arrived there mentally, and there were Marion Coffin and Bernard Marsh in the midst of a quarrel, ab- solutely oblivious of the audience. The curtain went down hurriedly, and Clifford Johnson, the manager, came out and very profusely begged that the unseemly conduct be excused. He said that Bernard, who had the leading part, had forgotten to shave and that Marion had simply refused to play opposite to him until he did. In the ensuingintermission,Igazed about the building. In a box I saw Frances Cook carefully instructing her husband, Walter Byron, not to go to sleep during the performance, using for her purpose some loving taps and a hat pin. At last the curtain rose, and Ber- nard stepped forth with a clean chin and several lip-shaped red marks on his cheeks. He must have decided at the last moment that the first act needed rehearsing. Bernard and Marian and the remainder of the company shrieked and moaned at each other for hours, but Cliff and I enjoyed the whole proceeding im- mensely. The mental association had no vitaphone attachment. Of course, we didn't spend all our time gazing at the actors. We watched the ushers, Joseph Carey and Pierce Burgess, clap strenuously but with no assistance whatsoever from the audience. We saw Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ritcey giggling away at something. I found it was more serious than I had expected, how- ever. The former lNIarguerite Neilly was doing her best to repair her hus- band's broken suspenders. William Milesky sat with Mary Baniszewski in a front row seat with a triumph- ant look, in fact, the only pleased look in the entire audience besides Mary's. Would you think Willy could write a whole opera by himself, and that Mary could supply the words? This opera was the story of Hansel and Gretel and had a very unnatural sort of originality. For instance, the witch had a flowing beard. This part was played by Leroy Phipps. The father, a terrify- ing personage, was Clyde Granger. Mary had substituted for a swan a cow, and when Robert King was made up as a cow, a real cow couldnat look more like one. Water was used on the stage, even if it did spill over and wet the orchestra, con- sisting of Helen Maurer at the piano, John Sulmonetti at the sax- ophone, Eleanor Taylor at her new- ly acquired bass horn, Katherine Scott tooting an ocarina, commonly called sweet-potato, and Hazel Ped- ersen at a jazz whistle. I thought the climax, where the cow, carrying Hansel and Gretel on his back across an artificial stream, slipped and de- posited Hansel and Gretel quite un- gracefully in the water, very affect- ing. Possibly this was not the cli- max, but it certainly was the turning point :-The audience got up and left. 28 THE MIRROR Our minds returned to Arthur's back room again. There was one more person about whom I wanted to obtain knowledge that night. That was John Savage-I knew he had started out to find an honest woman and that he had hunted long and ear- nestly with no results. Cliff inform- ed me that he had gone to sea. I doubt very much whether he will find his woman there. I was sorry for Jack: He should have hunted for hens' teeth. . Late the next afternoon I was on my way to Cliff's shop, where we were to meet. I was suddenly jerked into the air and held there, swinging about above the city. I discovered that a careless dirigible owner had left an anchor hanging overboard with which my trousers were caught. This owner immediately looked from a cabin window to find what was weighing down the ship. It was Bub Storer with a tolerably hen- peeked appearance. He informed me that he and his wife, you remember our old friend, Betty Trask, were just starting on their tenth honey- moon. She had always insisted on one a year. Poor Bub',. When the good old Charles River was under me, I cut loose. Upon emerging from the watery depths, I was immediately pulled into a police boat and asked for what reason I was polluting the water. The oHicer was Edward Corrigan. He had to pump me Qliterallyj before I could say-well, never mind what I said, I know I expressed myself perfectly. I had a somewhat different recep- tion upon being put ashore. A group of people surrounded me and shoved and fought to talk to me first. Betty Hood was the first to attract my at- tention. Do you know, Betty was one of these girls that solicit movie actors. She wanted me. She said that I would surely make the audi- ence hysterical with laughter as long as I acted natural. Being serious minded, I refused this offer. Paul Webber, my insurance broker, el- bowed his way to me to get the facts of the case, but Ruth Stroum, sen- sation reporter for the B oston Trans- cript, shoved past him to dislodge a little information of her own from me, but, as I did not desire to become a hero, she got but few results. Dr. Irad -Hardy stalked up to me and gave me a thorough osteopathic pum- meling before he pronounced me all right. Margaret Doe, dressed in a nurse's outfit, was standing near, and I had her go over me again to find out what the doctor had done. I was certainly sore in general when they both got through with me. Na- than Smith, my tailor, shook my hand and sho-wed me how wonderful- ly my suit had stood the water test and wanted to hire me to do the stunt every day to advertise his business. This offer I gracefully refused and started to walk toward the street. I was supported on both sides and felt heroic and important, until I turned to gaze at my benefactors. Then my feelings completely chang- ed, for, holding my shoulders, one on each side, were Police Officers Harold Stanley and Maurice Shee- han. It seems that I was being ar- rested for disturbing the peace, lit- tering up a public parkway, pollut- ing the Charles River, et ceteraf I slipped each a five spot and told them to take me to the mayor. As I was awaiting my appointment, Isaac Mankowich came out of the mayor's office, radiating joy. He grabbed my hand and said, At last I've got it. Got what ? Got permission to build my port- able garage factory in the gym field, of course. THE MIRROR i nl ' ' ' Al IE' ' l L 4 , lil! 229 'L ' 'OWS :ses lljx - Q l .1 :Fig 'JV aff-VL? ' ' A A NC I N TH .

Iky skipped out of the room as the mayor opened his office door. A heavy voice called, Come in. I entered. c'Don,t you know enough not to disturb the Mayor when he is busy? Iive been helping my secretary lick postage stamps. P I looked towards the secretary, Susanne Pierce, who blushed prettily, and towards the mayor, John Mc- Gurn, who frowned. f'It's this way, I said. Everything's fixed up,', said the mayor, '5Now leave. I left hurriedly and wended my way toward my original destination, Clifford's. . Again I was detained. This time it was by a parade. Leading this procession were Robert Atkins and Edward Buswell, holding between them a banner sporting this symbol XXX. This seemed a bit out of the or- dinary to me, and I asked a chap who was busily supporting a near- by lamp post and who was none other than my old friend, Francis Walsh, what it was all about. Fran- cis informed me that it was a secret order called UThe Orphan Pink Ele- phant Befriendersn. 'cBut why the symbol ?', I asked. Oh, maybe that's what they feed the pink elephant on, Walsh an- answered, then thoughtfully expect- orated into the gutter. The second feature in the proces- sion was Vincent Tracey, riding on 'two enormous plugs that scarcely seemed to have the team spirit. A This equipage was the Exalted Cab- bage, so Walsh informed me. Behind Tracey rode the Right Honorable Carrot, Francis Galla- gher. Following the Honorable Car- rot rode the Noble Turnips, John Finan and John Young, back to back on a donkey and proud-Oh, my! The fifth in line was a real pink elephant, that is, the elephant was real, and so was the pink paint. Draped haphazardly across this ele- phant's back, hanging on for dear life, lay Robert Hampson, Corliss Patten, and Elmer Jacobs, the Hon- orable Cnions of the society. Puffing away on a camel, rode Timothy Cormier. Tim wore a de- termined but very white look on his face. I've a notion he was a bit sea- sick, the camel proving too much for him. The seventh and last exhibit fin- ally passed. It was the Minister of the Bounce, Milton Lindholm, blow- ing kisses to the crowd and being proudly trundled along ina wheel- barrow by Phil Havener. Don't get the wrong impression of these lads. They take business matters seriously, but advertising is advertising. as I rushed to Cliff's, making sure that nothing moredetained me. As I entered his shop, the bell on the door rang. What a perfect-reminder of the old school days! Cliff, the moment of my- arrival, began telling me of a premonition he had had regarding Ruth sDeffley. He said he knew that she was doing something in a big way to benefit this world of ours. With misgivings, I concentrated with him. A sylvan scene came before us in which Ruth, dressed, well, I would say, off-hand, in a sheet, had a group of girls lined up garbed in a similar fashion, 2tI'LdMkYYQS,. tgying to 'teach them, as it looked to me, how to fall down without making a dent in the THE MIRROR IRAD HARDY Class Auafitar, .7929 THE MIRROR ARTHUR MACNEILL Class Treasurer, 1929 , THE Mini-.oarg 33 terra firma. They didn't seem apt pupils, and Marie DeMont always landed at the wrong time on the right place. Isabella Doyle seemed to be graceful and light in the air, but when she saw ground coming her way, she got panicky and met the encounter unarmed. One look at Linda Profitaiand Lillian Cataldo showed me that their education had been undoubtedly neglected.-They were trying to skip.-Why, even some of the boys of the class of '29 had been known to skip during classes, but it came natural to them, I suppose. All in all, I think Ruth was having a tough time of it, push- ing these damsels around through their gymnastics. I spoke and broke the spell. Do you know that Fred Wilder and Nel- lie Miche have started a dancing school, featuring the Lindburgh Hop? Freddy's specialty is cer- tainly popular. Fred wears out more people in a day than a football coach does in a week. Nellie does him one better, however. Her section of the pupils helps fill the asylums of the country. Clifford and I had a premonition that Margaret Seikel had become a humanitarian of note. To confirm our suspicions, we performed our usual passes in order to centralize our thoughts. Lo and behold, our ungrounded suspicions had led to something interesting. It was a night club, and there was Margaret flirting with the masculine patrons, you know. Marie Farley, another Hostess, was repeating the same pro- cedure in a far corner of the room. The room was full of joy-seekers with hungry eyes and searching stomachs who seemed to be enjoying themselves. Busily passing lemon- ade and ginger-snaps around, were Lucy Balcom, Verda Johnson, and Marjorie Leishman. Incidentally thtise frivolous girls paused to oscu- late with some parvenu, not femin- ine, to insure a greater pecuniary re- ceipt. The occupants of the room turned their attention to the center of the room where a chorus of girls were performing. Here I recognized my old classmates, Loretta Gannon, Marie Cuniffe, Beryl Gadboys, Mar- garet Ray, Bernadine Brophy, Alyse Wellington, and Ursula Urquhart, dressed in Hwreathed smiles and pantaloons, doing a stunt on the light, fantastic toe . These girls swayed in unison with a three-piece orchestra consisting of Frank Rosen- berg-cornetg Aaron Nersesian- Jew's Harp, and Daniel McKenzie -cazook. Dan played so strenuous- ly that the whole piece sounded like a cazook solo. Sitting at a table very near the dancers was a choppy chap Qrather Englishj, wearing a monocle in a jaunty fashion. After a moment,s thought, I placed him as Adelbert Bishop. The moustache which I had overlooked had camouflaged his identity. At a table near Adelbert sat a tall fellow and a fellow not so tall, back to me. The last mentioned was lav- ishly stoking down goobers. The tall chap turned, and I recognized Charlie Fuller, world renowned star of parlor tennis, otherwise known as ping-pong. I immediately knew that the peanut eater was Stuart Dean, his manager. I've a notion that an unfortunate love affair where the proverb A faint heart ne'er won fair lady played a prominent part in his life, causing Stewy to revert to such debauchery as visiting Night Clubs like that of Nlargaret Seikel and Marie Farley. This club was not solely for people of leisure, as I soon saw. Most of the visitors of this joint were fem- inine, however. At one table, hilar- iously enjoying themselves were Ed- Q4 p THE MIRROR na Walker, Erna Clayton, and Jean- nette Russo. These business-like looking women were so noisy and boisterous that they were upsetting the waitresses as they went by. They must have slipped something stimu- lating into their lemonade. Sedately about another table sat Anna Curran, Evelyn Bain, Freda Levison, and Jennie Annis, quaffing more of the predominating drink, lemonade. lVIore entertainers came upon the stage. Kenneth Anderson and the former Merle Antaya, now his wife, did a Spanish dance. QBy the way, I hear that Merle writesbooks to support the family.j Following this couple was a prize entertainer of the evening, none other than our versatile Langley Morang in the personnel of a magician. To gain everybody's at- tention, Langley produced from an opera hat our friend and classmate, Thelma Isaacson. Langley produced one thing after another until he began pouring vodka from his trusty beaver. Then there was a sudden rush for the stage. It was to mob poor Langley. The mul- titude of women, led by Sonja John- son, clawing and mauling him, proved to be true democrats and ab- solute abstainers. There was a riot call, and soon the room was plunged into darkness and surging with omcers of the law. During brief flashes of the cops, flashlights, I saw three girls whom I had missed in my first survey of the place,-Kathryn Mann, Marion Lobdell, and Helen Myshrall, pum- meling Officer Daniel Brown, who looked very much bedraggled. Of course, they thought they had Lang- ley in their grasps. The hypocrites, Emily Gustafson and Ferna Sherman, had pitied Langley so much that they led him through a side' door to safety and left the cops to their own devices. The scene grew dim and slowly faded-until it finally disappeared. The last I saw of the night club was a view of Adelbert Bishop with his English attire tolerably messed up, now being piled into by Emma Ea- ton, who had her eyes closed and was wildly swinging at his Visage. I looked across the table at Cliff's shop and found the disappearance of the.night club was due to the un- timely sleepiness of my friend who was sonorously imitating a sound synonymous with snoring. Poor Cliff must have lost sleep the night before, wondering what strange sights we should see. I tiptoed away from him trying not to disturb him, when an unearthly noise came from the front of the store, and I heard a very familiar voice cry, HHey, where's everybody C? It was Roger Walcott. I sold him a chocolate eclair, which he immediately began to smear over his face. We got to talking over old times together and I told him how I had seen almost everybody of the class of '29 and that I should like to find out about the rest if possible. I inquired about Walter Kleinlein. Roger informed me that Walter, in company with Marshall Gray, was a silk stocking salesman for a con- cern formed by Barbara Drew, who had turned out to be a woman of great executive ability. , I found that Raymond Light had amassed a fortune through an inven- tion. It seems that he had invented an alarm clock which would wake a person in the morning without dis- turbing him. , Emma and Louise Graf were kept busy baptizing the aeroplanes that were turned out of the factory owned by Arden MacNeil. These planes were of a new type, so Roger said, and were propelled by shooting a jet of water from the back end of the plane. . THE MIRROR 35 .- -. -s - 1 I 4 -----q9- Barbara Hatch, Lillian Johansen, and Emily Lancaster had started a school in VVaverley for precocious children, but, as yet, they are still advertising for pupils. I learned that the Mattson, Mer- owitz, and Moss combination had, with their joint brains, discovered a new type of chewing gum, one that could be chewed in school without be- ing noticed by the presiding instruc- tor. I always knew that Miriam and the two Alices would amount to something. I was surprised to find that Davis Fogg had joined the Nicuaguan army as First Lieutenant, and George Kean the United States Marines. QLet's hope that they never meet.j I was astonished to find that Billy Rhodes had started a pet shop in Greenland and was bartering pet walruses and sea elephants from the Eskimos for Eskimo Pies. Roger infor-med me that Lillian Sundin had become tired of writing history after completing the history of the class of '29, so much that she had formed an expedition for hunt- ing singing fishes, and through her discoveries hoped to make real his- tory, Qnot that the class of '29 did not have an interesting historyj. On this expedition, Lillian took Barbara Bell, the noted woman diver, popu- larly known as Diving Bell, and Barbara Bain to preserve the speci- mens. You know how Barbara Bain was always getting things into a pickle. Minnie Davis was taken along to cast a sentimental mood up- on the ship and to write poetry-- The hungry waves lapped the boat as we drew limpid fish from its mawwi-you know, that kind of stuff. 'CYou haven't heard about the alumnae baseball team, have you G? Walcott asked. I answered in the negative. 'Tm it, he said, and, lessee, Oh, yes, Norma Young and Corra- dina Caia, Carmela Biondo, Blanche Mandigo, and Helen Byam, Charles Gordon, Maurice Doucette, and Ken- neth White. That makes nine, doesn't it? We haven't lost a game yet, and we've played two games al- ready. At this remark, Roger shoved the rest of the eclair into his mouth and tore out of the shop as if he had just re-membered an appointment. I followed, not knowing why but wishing to leave Cliff to his slum- bers, if he were still asleep after Walcott's noise. Arriving near the Common, I saw a large crowd collected about the Hag pole. On closer inspection, I found that a familiar looking person was sitting on the gilt knob at the top of the Hag pole. I inquired of Esther Wood, who stood nearby dressed in a nurse's apparel, who the daring person was. I found that the audacious adven- turer was none other than our shy little Ralph Cohen, who, with a brave effort, had managed at last to force himself into the public eye, and was a flag pole sitter. It seems that Ralph had hoped to catch a head- liner in some of the leading papers, such as the Weymouth Weekly, but he had been sitting on the flag pole now for a month, and the most he had caught was a mild case of An- gina Pectoris, otherwise known as a chest cold. While we were busy straining our necks looking at Cohen, a loud shout brought the attention of the crowd to a sight-seeing tour announcer. It was Elsworth Litchfield announcing a trip to the slums of Waltham to see the notorious dives on Charles and Felton Streets where the crim- inal underworld could be seen in its wild state. QOh, yes.j I moved in the direction of the bus and before I realized it, I was deprived of two 36 THE MIRROR dollars and was being driven along with a goodly crowd. I noticed that taking a chance with me, were Lois Bingham, Evelyn O'Malley, Ruth VVingate, Ruth Proctor, Eleanor Burdett, Nellie Edwards, and Phyl- lis Hoyt, up to their old tricks. We travelled from one joint to another. At one joint I bought a bottle with this :-XXX's and William Tur- ner and Company printed on it. I was infor-med that this bottle contained genuine moose's milk. Blank it, that genuine moose milk came from a moose and knocked me stiff when I drank it and left me in my present condition. If anv of you, then, are angry at these revelations, go for Turner:- he's to blame. ROBERT WILSON Athletic Summary 1928-1929 FOOTBALL The football season on the whole was unusually successful. Mr. Leary, with hardly any veterans, succeeded in whipping into shape an eleven that defeated many of the strongest teams in the state. This splendid record was marred by defeats at the hands of Medford and lNIanchester. The summary: 4 O02 2525222222 O a.QrD.g,v22.mw,Pre.

STUART DEAN 29 Clary Song A FABEWELL TO WALTHAM HIGH CSing to the Tune of Auld Lang Synej Our happy days are over now, We leave, but with regret. Those joyous, thrilling high school days I'm sure we'll ne'er forget. The books we pondered over so Are neatly put away, But those dear books have made us all Just what we are today. Our teachers too, deserve much praise- We know they've done their best. But now, we face the world alone, Each one to seek his quest. Farewell dear school, we're leavin now, S For you we'll always pineg And memories sweet shall always twine Round good old twenty-nine.
