l l, Wh? HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD There is no doubt that studying forms the nucleus of a high school course, but the association with one's classmates and the activities outside of the curriculum form a basis for reminiscenses of the very nice period of our adolescent years. To form a realistic and stable basis for these memories, is the end toward which We have striven in compiling the material for the ensuing pages. We have tried to delineate things in an impartial Way, and have earnestly endeavored to boost rather than knock, so that in later years the student in turning the pages vvill not feel a sense of shame but rather be thrilled and animated. We are indebted to the Writers of the previous year-bookg to the kind advertisers who have made the book possibleg to Mr. Bush, Mr. Pare, and' Miss LeMaitre of the facultyg and to all the readers Who have graciously patronized the book. THIS BOOK IS SINCERELY DEDICATED to ALTON W. BUSH Whose lzroacl-mimlecl principles aml impartial cohcluct have placed him high in the esteem of the CLASS OF 1926 k 4 ALTON XY. BUSH 1 L YYILLI,-ill E.

The pride of the faculty and the bane of her less conscien- tious Cl3SSll12ll6S,1VvCl'Zl has completed a very successful high school course. Vera never asks for a job, but when one is assigned to her she does it with extreme faithfulness and virginal modesty. Pretty hair and an unfailing calm are Vera's outstanding c'i1a1'ac'te1'istics. As a nurse Ve1'a's feminine abili- ties will be given ll free sway Hlld she will be respected there as she has been by the Class of '26. Luck, Vera, a11d may the fates treat yon kindly.

Felix:1's executive ability has VVO11 her fame among us. She is always willing to help and always finding some new way to boost along tl1e Seiniior cause. If it wasn't for Alix's prompt- ing, many a class event would be a failure. One look at her small, deinure face will convince anyone of her ability. She has ll0f yet decided for what vocation she will train but with her strong will and great ability we are sure she will be a siicc-ess in life no matter along what lines her plans are finally laid. Small and staid, modest but serious, with l1er big blue eyes alwuiiys shining brightly, our chic 'tAlix can always be seen trippiiig lightly in and out of the classrooms, ready and willing to offer her help to any cause of tl1e Senior Class. 1 i Andrew Campion Andy Track ll, HI, IV. Basketball Ill, IV. Limelight Staff. Reports of W. H. S. Executive Committee. I find earth not gray but rosy. Andy, as a member of the executive committee, has done a world of good for the Class. He is a powerful talker and a clear thinker striving always to put his best effort into what he is doing. Andy's genius lies in his dancing where he has the grace of a second Gilda Gray. Constant practice, we are told, has brought Andy to a degree of perfection second to none. He is well liked by all, especially the girls, for whom Andy also has a fondness. Mildred Caunpion Millie Senior Bazar. Music Club. L. C. Smith Bronze Medal. See her but smile your cares depart. 'fMillie , the sweetest girl in our class. ls she fast? l'll say so, when she is reading and reciting poetry in a classroom. Together with 'Banjo Eyes Prendergast, she travels the wide world leaving everywhere a trail of charm-stricken admirers. She never raises her voice above a whisper in school, which is a su1'e proof of her linesse. Alphonse Canon Karin-r Baseball HI. Audubon Club I. Most Like a. Gentleman . Caron is the class barber, liayving acquired that position in his Junior year. He was always quiet until his Senior year when a little 'fFreshie crossed his path. Then he took one long ride. All the boys envied him. Phonse never seems, to have troubles. He is always joyous, happy, and a good friend to have. He is planning to go to a business college where we all know he will soon be climbing the ladder of success. Claire Dillon Iggy 'iLimelight Staff. Latin Club. Dramatics IV. Orchestra III, IV. Pro Merito. Reports of W. H. S. Senior Bazar Committee. Fotch de banjo out and gib us one song 'fore we goes . Claire, quiet and smiling in her thoughtful way, well deserves the honor of being the most original member of the Senior Class. Vxfhenever she does anything, originality takes precedence so that the result is unexpected and staggering. She holds the undivided laurels of class poet, and her work is intermingled with a fine sense of humor. The school orchestra would not seem complete without Claire's Mandolin. Male- ignoning Claire seemed so sincere and thoughtful when she played 'tCould I Only Find My Man fin The Charm School . Added to these extraordinary capabilities is Claire's taste for artistic work. She is a. good scout and we sincerely hope she may find pleasure and opportunity when she chooses her vocation. May Ruth Emerson May Pro Merito. Business Mgr., Reports of W. H. S. Dramatics IV. Underwood Silver Medal. L. C. Smith Silver Medal. Royal Gold Medal. 'Nothing is impossible to industry. XVe'll always remember May as one who could have a good time and still be up in her studies. Efficiency and thoroughness are her outstanding characteristics. As Madame Jeune Tou- jours she displayed her real sellf as a girl of attractive and niagnetic personality. May is one of the leading students of the t'ommercial department, and as brilliant and versatile a girl is hard to find. 'We wish you luck in every way, May, and a thorns less path to success.

Love her 1 well we guess we do lNlargaret makes every acquaintance her friend and that is why the air itself seems to breathe a good word for this sunny, bright girl. YVhatever Margaret does or says on the previous evening, she knows her American history the next day - much to the distress of her classmates. From somewhere or someone Margaret acquired the power to believe everything - much to our satisfaction and amusement. But donft change a bit, lVlargaretg keep right on dancing, smiling, and talking right through life and the world is yours, my girl. Ruth Ferguson Fcrgic Pro Merito. Limelight Staff. Latin Club. Dramatics IV. Charms strike the sight . Charming-Yes! She got it at the Charm School under the direction of Mr. Bevans? ? ? The magnetic spirit of the school. Whether at a dance or a skating party she always has an admirer. One of the most sought after girls lin the Senior Class as well as in the entire High School. They say that clothes make the mang Well, in this case, clothes make a charming girl irresistible. Studies do not interfere with her social affairs, or vice versa, for in every class she 'tstars',. Nobody can study or knows how to study like Ruth. Once her eyes are on her book, it takes little short of a Harvard fullback to make her take them off. And let's not pass without a word of praise for those eyes. Ah! Those eyes, those captivating eyes. A good studenlt, a charming girl, she enters life with every promise for a successful career. l Arlclurd Fleurvnt HNap Track I, II, III, IV. Editor-in-Chiief, Reports of W. H. Sf, Baseball, I, II, III, IV. f'Limelight Stall. Basketball I, II, III, IV. President of Assembly. Football III, IV, Dramatics IV. Royal Gold Medal. He was a valiant man . A laugh beyond the power of man to imitate and a world of natural ability in all lines of athletics, are the two recommend- ations we can give the world in behalf of t'Nap . He is another four letter man this year, being a running mate of Szydla on the basketball court where they both have made names for them- selves. On the gridiron Nap was equally great. Playing at quarterback he was a triple-threat man, with ability to kick, run, or pass the ball. Although playing his first year of school team football, the spirals from Nap's toe gave many a foe a sinking heart, and these punts equalled those of most college players. His intellectual prowess in the classroom is of the same standard as his athletic ability. Nap does not possess an enemy in the school and we know that he will meet with the same success at college and in life. Stephen Green Put Football IV. Track IV. Dramatics IV. Limelight Staff. I was the one for bewitching them. Put is our best offering to vie with Barney Oldfield. He is a wizard on the dirt trackiespecially back roads. Though Put never says much, remember that still 'Waters run deep! Setting all joking aside, we must stress Put's big virtue displayed in the ever-memorable Ware versus Palmer football game. Playing with a dislocated shoulder, he virtually held his side of the line one-handed. More power to you, Put , and may that courage and constancy accompany you always. llorotlly Griffin Dot Girls' Glee Club. Senior Bazar Committee. Audubon Society. A girl of girls. Dorothy has proved herself popular in class activities, by not only doing her share but by volunteering to do extra work. Her personality, like Dorothy herself, is sweet and unaffected. Her chic wardrobe testifies to her ability as a seamstress, while rumor carries tar and wide her capabilities as a cook and a housekeeper. Thus it is very fitting that she should take a course in domestic science, as she plans to do after graduation. 'tDot is not speculatingg she knows where her talent lies and by following specific lines, her success is assured. Julia Gurka Judf-y Senior Bazar Committee. Girls Glee Club. French Club. Remington Silver Medal. 'tNew times demand new measures and new girls. Julia's good humor and willingness to work have made her an important spoke in the large wheel of the Senlior Class. Her school work is never neglected even if her memory lines must be learned in bed - yet how often in the morning we gather around her to hear about lust night's dance. Yes, Julia would not miss a good time nor would she miss a ride home in that big car. XVe hope she will glide along happily in her chosen work in the business world. l IdXV2ll'Il Houlihan Red Dramatics IV. Executive Committee. Class President, III, IV. Pro Merito. French Club. Basketball Manager, IV. I'm not denying that women are foolish. Red or Ed tas he is called both we must include themj may lack athletic ability but he makes it up in administrative powers. For the last two years he has successfully guided our ship of state through stormy waters. Our Junior Prom was one of the best conducted by any class at 'Ware High, as have been all the affairs of our senior year. Red is well liked by the majority and is a competent student with a 'tpro merito rating. Under his firm hand we raised the money for our Washington trip. Here's to your progress, Ed! Edward -ls-rz Hyeistego DI'a1112liiUS I- Football III, IV. Men of Few Words Are the Best Men . Yeistee is very much reserved, dignihed and studious. He is always ready, however, to enter in a conversation, or an argument. When candidates were called for football, Yeistee showed his ability to good advantage. He was an end on the football team. A woman hater! Yes. A very good sport and well liked by his fellow students. He has gained the reputation of being a good scholar. VVe all expect great things from him. Good Luck, Yeisteel Celia Jozyk 'Jazzy French Club. Basketball IV. Track IV. Senior Bazar Committee. Underwood Bronze Medal, As long lives a merry heart as a sad. Merry all the time and always singing the latest songs, for she works at the Music Shop . Many a time she holds a musical two-thirty session at the shop when her various friends meet to hear her play for them all the latest Jazz. Anyone down with an attack of blues should seek smiling Jazzy Celia as a companion for an afternoon. A sure cure for the blues! Sports? She loves them, and is a good 1'IlI1llGl' and jumper as well as a basketball player. She can take a joke better than anyone else, being a great joker herself. A regular all round kid , She intends to attend a commercial college and it is a certainty that she will be a success in her chosen career, Ruthie' ' Ruth Price Kaplan Pro Merito. Editor-in-Chief of Limelight , Dramatic Club II. Executive Committee. Draniatics IV. Earth sounds her wisdom and high heavens her fame. t'Ruthie has an ideal philosophy of life and by far the most brilliant mind in the Class of 1926. To know Ruthie is to know that intelligence may be accompanied by a charming personality. By her participation in one of our Senior playsg by her work as a member of the executive committeeg and by her conscientiousness and skill in the difficult task of editing a year book, she has proved herself lain invaluable member of Our class. How much more prosperous the class would be with a few more Ruthies ! Elinor Kenyon Ken Football III, IV. Art Editor of Limelight . Baseball III, IV. Draniatics IV. Art Editor, Reports of W. H. S. Audubon Soc. Breathless is my renown. Ken , the class artist par excellence, has helped the class considerably with the wielding of his brus-li. As the art editor of the Reports of NV. H. S. and as the art editor of the 'fLimelight , he has given freely of his natural gifts. His designs on the cover of our magazine and his drawings for the yearbook will long serve as a monument of his accomplishments. There is just one course for you, Elmer, and we hope the up- ward path will be pleasant for you. Henry Harlow Lincoln Punk Football IV. Basketball Ill, IV. Dramatics IV. Glee Club II. Class Treasurer III, IV. Business Manager of Limelight , He was a valiant youth Punky' has successfully borne the financial burdens ofthe Class of 1926. A natural born financier, he is highly esteemed among his classmates for his unerring work. What's more, Punk is a regular fellow. He has played on the football and baseball teams and is business manager of the Limelight. VVe are sure that Punk will burn up Yale and we a1'e heart and soul with him in his ventures of the future. 'T Francis Madden Cowboy Glee Club Il. Football IV. Track lll, IV. Dramatics IV. Audubon Club. Reports of W. H. S. Staff. Then he will talk! Good Lord, how he will talk! 'fCowboy , always contrary, has picked the Rose for his favorite flower. One of the class favorites, he is always up and coming-out. Besides showing keen ability on the dance floor, f'Cowboy was an end oni our Champion football team and also earned his letter in track. Ready to adapt himself to any need, Cowboy neatly Hlled the shoes ,amsi a popular and versa- tile cheerleader. Though he is yet undecided as to a vocation, we are sure that his aggressiveneiss will win success for him. Str-plumio Misiaszek Fannie L. C. Smith Bronze. Girls' Glee Club. Underwood Bronze. French Club. Remington Silver. None but herself can be her parallel. We shall certainly be disappointed if a few years hence we don't hear that Stephanie holds a weighty position in the com- mercial world, so efficient and anxious for self-betterment is she. Stephanie is pretty, well-dressed and unafraid to assert her opinions. After graduation Stephanie intends to round out her education in a business college. Afterwards, we know she will be a boon to the world of finance. Accept our parting wish, Stephanie, for happiness and success. Jennie Mulvany Jen Basketball III. Dramatics IV. Senior Bazar Committee. Girls' Glee Club. I dare to do all that does a. man. Jennie is the golden girl of '26. There's not a trace of sham or bluff in her anywhere,-just a plain, honest girl of Ireland. She revels and excels in sports, and her physical strength not only gives her power on the athletic Held but keeps everybody in the corridors moving lively. Boys quake and girls wilter at her touch. In class activities, Jennie kept us on the ground and to the subject and frequently pleaded the cause of right. W. H. S. without Jennie would be almost as bad as a XVHSllllIgt0U without the Capitol. Here's luck to you, Jennie! Elizabeth Newcomb DuCkie Dramatics IV. Chairman Property Committee. Senior Bazar. Latin Club. A spotless friend, a matchless girl. Lizzie is very bashful in the classroom, but in the corridors she sways to the tune of Freshie . She still has that skin you love to touch , and revels in her crowning glory. She is sweet to everyone, and will no doubt be loved by all her pupils. Heres luck to you, Lizzie, and love we know you will have. Mary 'Prcndergast Banjo Eyes Music Club Dramatics IV Senior Bazaar A merry heart all day long . Banjo Eyes is our sweet, little lovable Mary. Pep! I'll say she has. A sclhool party or dance would not be complete without her. Though many will be sitting demurely waiting for a partner, Mary is one of the Hrst on the floor. Her charm- ing personality has gained her many friends. Ware is not the only conquest in her career for in all the adjoining towns, among which Southbridge looms prominent, admirers of the fairer sex have fallen for her charms. Mary is planrniing on becoming a. nurse and we feel sure that with her cheerful disposition her patients will advance rapidly. Good luck to Mary! l'LtC1 Rlemuklculcl Gus Track II, III, IV. Football III, IV. Basketball II, III, IV. Baseball II, III, IV. Student Council IV. Dramatics IV. Audubon Club Mens sana in corpora sano. Meet the third member of a triumvirate of four-letter men, Rosy has represented W. H. S. in every sport, performing notably on the gridiron, diamond, basketball court and track Held. Gus is popular too, especially with the girls. He is a plugger not only in sports, but also in other school activities. His ambition is to become a physical director. Here's hoping fortune treats you nicely, Pete! Mary Shea Scoop Class President II. Vice Pres., III, IV. Dramatics, IV. Basketball, I, II, III, IV. VVhy can't they all be content like me? Mary's wit and charm make her the most popular girl in the class. Mary is blest with one of those carefree dispositions that enables her to make life just one good time after another. Maryls ability as an all round athlete has helped Ware High on to victory many a time. True to her nature Mary has not de- cided what school she will honor with her prescence, but wherever she goes it is certain that she will be popular. . I l YValf0r Slosok nllidgcti' Basketball IV.

Wallo always knows his lessons but instead of proceeding to inform his teacher, he huddles in his seat. But lo! when the teacher calls on him, such floods of knowledge and usually ver- batim! To keep up the slogan of 26 4every man an athletef- XYallo performed well in basketball in his senior year. XVallo has selected the medical profession as a center for his futuie endeavors and we know he ll do well. Dominic Stolar Dom Boys' Glee Club. Audubon Club. Senior Basketball Team. Senior Bazar Committee. In solitude the mind gains strength. Of all the quiet boys, Dom is the quietest. And he is a studious and ambitious lad, too. His classmates have found something sterling in his character, as cain be seen from the great number of friends he has. He was a great asset to the Commercial Department, and did much towards keeping up the standard of the Class of 1926. If present actions mean anything, Dom promises to have one of the world's greatest collections of insects. Here's hoping! Stanley Szyclla Small , Syd Baseball I, II, III, IV. Track I, II,III, IV. Audubon Society. Basketball I, II, III, IV. Football III, IV. 'tLimelfight', Staff. Blessings on thee, little man. When one speaks of athletics in Wa.1'e High School, one's thoughts always turn to Stanley Szydla. Syd has so many attributes that it would be impossible to speak about them all. For four yea1's it can be truthfully said that he has been our leading athlete. He is liked and feared by all schoolboy ath- letes who have had any contests with our school. This last year Syd was recognized by all as one of the leading forwards on the basketball court, one of the best fullbacks on the gridiron, a wonderful performer in the pitcher's box and a superb quarter-miler. No doubt if we had more sports, Syd would be a ranking star in them also. An excellent feature about Syd is that never in his four years at High School has he been ineligible for any sport, even though he has taken the classical course. He is well liked by the teacihers because of his attentiveness and engaging smile, which, however, is rarely seen when he is taking part in athletic contests. These qualities are surely enough to make Syd a success in whatever he takes up in future life. Priscilla T1-ela ' Prim Dramatlics IV. Senior Bazar. Music Club, 'tGood nature and good sense must ever join. Prim is one of the joys of the faculty,f studious, obedient,-w and just think, she has never been late, nor has she ever been called back for conduct during her high school career. But, for all her goodness, our Prim is quite a stepper outside of school and it is throught by many that she will be the first to take that big jump into matrimony. Herels to Prim! Louise Tucker Tuck Pro Nlerito. Math. Club IH. Dramaltics IV. Girls' Glee Club. There was mischief in her eye. It isn't allways easy to understand Louise because sometimes she is as quiet and reticent as a nun while at other times she portrays a scintillating sense of misehievousness. If your book disappears suddenly from your desk or if your rubbers seem astray, look for them behind the guilty grin of Louise. Her hand-fwritingj is beautiful and shefs an artist, too. We can just visualize Louise a few years hence, with her pretty blond hair and a chic smock, a palette in her hand, treading the ladder of fame, Harold XVeiss Harada. , YZ Dramatics IV. Track HI. Audubon Club. Manager Baseball IV. Men, are only boys grown up . Harold received the name of Harada', for his ability to play tennis. He may be seen on the Grenville Courts during the summer and so resembles the Japanese champ, Harada, that it was found appropriate to bestow the title ont him. Harold's awakening in his Junior year made some of his class- mates ltake notice. No wonder! Harold has a Nash. Never- theless he prefers walking' Church Street to riding. We wonder why? Harada is always interest-ed in school activities. He was made manager of Baseball in his Senior year. We wish you success in your future undertakings, Harold. Gordon XYhiic H00ll0l'H Football IV. Track III, IV. Baseball III, IV. Audubon Society. HI ani sure c:ure's an enemy to life. Hoopcrdinks . as he is most commonly known, sprang into prominent-c by his prowess on the gridiron. He, together with Put Green. formed the err-.ltest pair of guards that ever dounned a XVare High uniforni. and their stonewull defense and smashing attacks were the cause of many a victory. Hooper also has at pleasing personality and il cheery siuile which ever aclorns his handsome, though usually unshaven, face. HHooper has shown himself a, hard but fair and clean player which we know will insure for hiin the best of success in future life. John XVisuoski Yum Yum Pro Merito. Basketball, I, H, HI, IV. Football III. Audubon Club. 'Tum Yum , from a naine recently applied to him, is one of the smallest and most popular boys that ever came to high school. He is handicapped for sports on account of his size but he makes it up in energy afnd driving power. Snocky is another honor student who will probably go a. long way in future life. He is bright and is endowed with a very pleasing personality, together with boundless energy and aggressiveness -qualities which are found in all great inen. THE SEARCI-ILIGI-IT ON OUR ACTIVITIES One day as I was walking up Church Street, I came upon a throng of people circled about a man who was inspecting the sky through a tele- scope. I wondered what it wlas all about, so I asked a little newsboy, who replied, Oh! He's one of dose high falutin' fellers dat rake over your life hist'ry so long after you've closed your eyes dat nobody can tell wheder it's truth or fiction. I did not find! this explanation very satisfactory, so I edged nearer and found that the man was speaking. This is what he had to say: That star in the east tells me that the Class of '26 of the Ware High School made plans for a glorious sleigh ride party during their Freshman Year. Oh! the star disappearsr- Their plans amounted to nothing. There it is again! It wishes to say something to me. What's lthat '?-- Oh, I have it. The Senior class took so long in getting home from their party that the poor little Freshies were not allowed to go. That star beside it tells me that their Junior From was a very success- ful affair, both financially and socially. This one has something to say, too-- 'Senior Bazaar' -- 'Very Success- ful' -- 'Great hit' -- CNO lb -- 'Some one got hit'. The North Star tells me of two plays: 'Alicia Perks Up' -- 'A nice bit of humor' -- and 'Come out of the Kitchen' -- 'A howling success.' This one here says -- 'Reports of W. H. S.' -- 'The Limelight' -- 'Maga- zines worthy of the class of '26'. That large brilliant one in the west bears the following inscription 'On the 20th of April in '26, the Holy Cross Glee Club entertained a large audience in the town hall. Dancing followed a concert, the like of which had never been heard before in the town of Ware. A good time was en- joyed by all-.' Butt wait! ---- What is the moon trying to say?--- Why didn't you commence at the commencement?--- If you had looked at me in the first place, I could have told you why all these events occurred! The next bit of news needed no interpretation. The most brilliant stars in all the sky, rushing toward the moon, encircled it and clearly wrote the following words ------- WASHINGTON TRIP Clare Dillon. EXTRACTS FROM MY DAIRY August 1, 1950. When very young I, Clare Dillon, vowed I should never marry, but, like most youthful resolutions, this vow was broken. It was rather lonely, being an old maid, so when Jimmie asked me to marry him, I jumped at the chance, before he could change his mind. I was always willing to try anything once. Several things I never wished to try again. Marriage is one of them. It is now 1950, however, and I am a happy wiidow and proud possessor of six chicks. No I l ! I said chicks. My husband was a farmer. After the death of my husband I advertised for a middle-aged couple to work for me. The next week, while looking over the magazine to see whether or not this ad of mine was correctly worded, my attention was attracted by a number of familiar pictures. First, was the picture of Harold Weiss. He was much the same boy as I had known, only he looked older and more distinguished. Above the pic- ture, in large type, it was stated that Mr. Weiss had recently been appoint- ed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I wasn't much surprised at this, as Harold, when still quite young, exhibited an extraordinary knowledge of law. For instance, he knew that one should never throw snowballs Cwhen the cop was lookingj and that it was against the law to drive with one hand Cin broad daylightj. Three other familiar pictures were of Harlow H. Lincoln, Edward Jerz, and Stephen Putnam Hathaway Green, three distinguished mem- bers of the Cabinet of the United States. Lincoln, Secretary of the Treasury, was second to no one. By his famous non-budget system, he greatly increased the treasury of the United States. Jerz, Secretary of Labor, was put in office chiefly because he agreed, with President Campion fwe used to call him Andy when he went to school with usj, that the people's working day should be cut in half, and that they should be given a week's vacation every month. Stephen Green, Secretiary of Agriculture, won his position because he advocated giving free canary seed to every High School in the United States, whose scholarship was 98? or over. I then noticed a portrait of Celia Jezyk, who is a history professor at Harvard, and is the only woman ever honored by this position. Glancing down the page my attention was attracted by a picture of a man and woman in swimming attire. Below the picture was the follow- ing statement: Champion long distance swimmers of both sexes. Mr. and Mrs. Wisnoski carried off the honors at the recent Olympic meet. l . Mr. Wisnoski and his wife Knee M. R. Emersonj, formerly of Ware, Mass., are now touring Europe. It certainly pleased me greatly to find that so many of my friends had made names for themselves, but shortly I was extremely agitated by the fact that my advertisement wasn't correctly stated at all. I was so angry at their stupid' mistake that I took out my old Ford and went to the city to tell the editor just what I thought of him. But, alas I all my anger and indignation vanished before the kindly countenance of Elmer Kenyon, the advertising editor. After talking over old times for a while, he told me that there was a surprise awaiting me in the next room. Surprise, well I guess. Sitting in the center of the room, before fa large desk, was Ruth Kaplan, Editor-in-Chief of the Wiggler's Weekly. She was business personified but on recognizing me she was the same old Ruthie. Whirling around' in her large armchair, she nang two bells. Immediately, a man and a woman rushed in. The woman was her head typist and proved to be efficient Stephanie Misiaszek, and the plump, rosy cheeked gentleman was Paolo Albertine, Sport Editor of the Wig- gler, whose pet Writeups were of prize fights. He informed me that he had just finished looking over an article which stated that Peter Rzeznikiewicz and Adelard Fleurent, two world renowned pugilists, would fighlt the following week for the world's championship After giving to one another such information as we knew about our former classmates and wondering what became of the others, I left my old friends ,to their respective duties, and as it was not yet noon, I start- ed for the Eastern States Exposition. While driving along a country road, I came upon a tea-house which looked so cozy that I was tempted to stop for lunch. I was greeted by a dark haired, wonderfully jolly woman who served as her 12 o'clock special, Pork a la Palmer. Yes ! It was Mary Shea. This meeting accounts for the fact that it was nearly two o'clock before I entered the grounds where the exposition was held. Just inside the gates was a woman selling sweet cider. I never drink cider, but that woman's face seemed so familiiar that I decided to buy some and find out who she was. It happened to be Vera Allen, and she gave more information about our former classmates, pointing out, in the course of our conversation, two love birds perched on a stone-wall nearby. She asked me who I thought they were. I couldn't imagine them as being other than Romeo and Julietg but Vera said that Elizabeth Newcomb had married Wallo Slozek fifteen years ago and there they were, as devoted as ever. lt was just about then that I began to feel happy. Hlappy? I was never so happy in all my life. I wondered why Vera charged such an aboniinable price for sweet cider. Imagine I Vera, a bootlegger I At the other end of the hall, I met Mary Prendergiast selling Andy Gump crackers, her customers at that moment being Priscilla Trela and Dominic Stolar, who are engaged to be married. I always highly estimated Priscillais wiles but I never dreamed that even she could charm Stolar out of his bashfulness. The next person I met was Margaret Englesby who was attending the exposition as a representative of the Stolar Talking Machine Com- pany. But poor Margaret couldn't get a word in edgewise for there were two men talking to her, or rather one of them was talking. The stately pious looking person, the president of the Atlantic-Pacific Temperance Society was Stanley Szydla, and the talkative gentleman with him was Francis Madden, his head lecturer. The next building I entered was a miniature laboratory of the 'fAdams Chemical School. At one end of the hall I noticed a group of the flappers, and wondered in what they were so interested. I walked toward the edge of the group, and there I saw Dorothy Griflin showing the admiring throng how to boil water without burning it. In the center of the hall was Felixa Bartoszek lecturing on Why People Blush , land not a great distance away was Louise Tucker showing a group of astonished young men that alcohol can be used for something other than a beverage. And just as I was leaving the hall I caught a glimpse of Ruth Ferguson preserving sunbeams. Although I hadn't the least idea of buying a Pierce Arrow for even .a new Ford? I let the salesmen show me every car in the place. In the course of my travels I met Julia Gurka, as sweetly dressed as usual, trying to sell a Buick Sedan to Jennie Mulvaney. Jennie refused even to look at a Buick. She said she wanted a Ford because if it got stuck in the mud you didn't feel so bad about leaving it there and walking home. I also saw Alphonse Caron and Mildred Campion shearing sheep. I think it rather queer that Mildred would shear none but black sheep, don't you? I certainly had a pleasant time of it, but as it was getting late, I thought I had better start for home. Before I reached my car, however, I met a little red-headed boy who seemed so familiar that I stopped him to ask what his name Was. MuZzy Houlihan , he replied. Houlihanl How could I have hestitated? Edward shall never die as long as Mluzzy lives. Muzzy! Isn't that .a queer name for such a little chap? Muzzy was the author of a history book that Edward was so fond of repeating. I would have liked to inquire further of little 'lMuz3y's parents, but as the hour was late it was necessary that I should lose no time in return- ing home to feed my chicks. ,MZAUZJ Lg' Q .T l we l M. -wi v Y MQ w i Jef? ill l Ml r ,' f l N A1212 lil i Nj vlf l i K r a ' X F xii ll 1 M Senior Class President, Edward Houlihan Vice-Pres. and Svc., Mary Shea Treasurer, Harlow Lincoln Paolo Albertine Vera Allen Felixa Bartoszek Andrew Campion Mildred Campion Alphonse Caron Claire Dillon May Ruth Emerson Margaret Englesby Ruth Ferguson Adelard Fleurent Stephen Green Dorothy Griffin Julia Gurka Edward Houlihan Edward Jerz Celia Jezyk Ruth Kaplan Elmer Kenyon Harlow Lincoln Francis Madden Stephanie Misiaszek Jennie Mulvany Elizabeth Newcomb Mary Prendergast Peter Rzeznikiewicz Mary Shea NValFter Slosek Dominick Stolar Stanley Szydla Priscilla Trela Louise Tucker Harold Weiss Gordon Xvhite John VVisnoski SENIOR CLASS if .E XXXL., M 553 arf ff if T255 Ha is J . - Elf!!

Pare, a Holy Cross graduate. Joe was handicapped due to the fact that the Green and White was represent- ed on the gridiron for the first time in nine years. Some of the boys had gained a little knowledge of the game from the former coach, John T. Howard, who had introduced this sport at Ware High by having a few inter-class games. Notwithstanding this fact, Coach Pare immediately set to the task of seasoning out his green material. After three weeks of strenuous workouts, we finally held our first scrimmage. Ware opened the season on October 12, by swamping St. Peter's High of Worcester, on the Pump- ing Station Grounds. On the following Saturday, the first game of the Twin-State lnterscholastic Conference was played' with Enfield as the opponent. The result of this game left no doubt in the minds of the fans that the Green and VVhite had a championship team, In the following game Agavwam provided the first real opposition. Ware, after being out- played for two quarters, found its stride and won 12 - 6. A trip to Ludlow found Ware again on the upper side of the score. New Salem Academy was unfortunate enough to journey to Ware to be snowed under by a 94 - 0 score. Then came the objective, the Palmer game, when the boys flashed the most versatile and brilliant offense of the entire season. Palmer ruled a top-heavy favorite over the Wondertowners before the game started, but before the game was two minutes old, Ware displayed such a running attack that they literally swept Palmer off her feet. Rzeznikiewicz gained ten land fifteen yards at a time only to have the ball brought back for offside play. Szydla played a wonderful defensive game, time and again stopping the Palmer backs on the line of scrimmage, Fleurent's punting was not only one of the highlights of the Palmer game but one of the best schoolboy punting exhibitions of the entire seasn. Green, although handi- capped a great deal by an injured shoulder, proved to be a veritable stone- wall. Kenyon, Clapt. Albertine, and Lincoln, playing their last game for old Ware High made tackle after tackle. The remainder of the team helped bring Ware High School's first football season, after fa lapse of nine years, to a fitting close. Although Palmer was outplayed in every branch of the game, the Palmerites were smiled upon by the Plates and were lucky enough to hold Ware to a scoreless tie. Both schools had a following rarely seen at a high school game. Along with this, the sportsmanship of both tefams was something of which to be proud, as this was the cleanest and manliest game ever played by either side. BASKETBALL Ware High, which was represented on the basketball surface last year by an undefeated quintet, was heavily hit by graduation, losing three of its outstanding stars in Capt. Jacques, Trudeau and Niziolek. Nevertheless, Coach Pare had two seasoned veterans in Szydla and Fleurent as a nucleus for his 1926 quintet and it was around these two star forwards that he formed this year's combination. The season opened with a flying start, the Green and White winning eight consecutive games and stretching its number of victories to thirty within the span of two years. Sweeping through its opponents at will, it seemed as if the Green and White would duplicate its last season's feat. Around the campus much propaganda was spread concerning the new quintet which Coach Parc had formed. But finally the unexpected hap- L 1 pened, Fighting under a strain which prevailed over the players, Who were eager to keep their slate clean, they finally met their match at the hands of Commerce High of Springfield. Ware for two consecutive seasons won the Twin-State Inter-Scholas- tic Conference title, tasting only one defeat, at the hands of a Weak team, Ludlow. it averaged nineteen Wins and only one reverse. For the first time in its history Ware was represented at a tourna- ment, which took place at Springfield College. Ware did not fare so Well here, and was quickly eliminated by Holyoke High. This marked the final game for Ware High, and also the close of a brilliant' season. BOYS BASKH'llBALL TEABI Back row: Joseph Pure fCoz'chJ, liolmu, Cillllpiflll, Myer, XV.

Tl-IE TRACK SEASON With a record of three victories and no defeats in three inter- scholastic meets, the track season of 1925 will rank as the most successful of recent years. The individual Work of the Seniors, composed of Captain Rzeznikievvicz, Szydla, Fleurent and Andrew Campion was the outstand- ing feature. The team was exceptionally strong in the track events but correspondingly weak in the iield department. The season began aus- piciously in the spring of 1925 with an overwhelming victory over Palmer and Ludlow. Ware placed first in three of the six events, took all honors in the 440 yard dash, and won the half mile relay. In the Fall season, Ware emerged a victor over tvvelve other schools and obtained its second leg on the beautiful Ward A. Smith Cup. Later on the Green and White squad journeyed to Northampton to participate in the Tri-County Inter-Scholastic meet. Springfield Tech. odered con- siderable opposition in this meet, but finally Went down to defeat by the close score of 21 - 20. It was an impressive victory for the Green and White Who took home a handsome shield. It also marked a successful close of the track season for Coach Joe Pare's energetic charges.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL IN 1926 If in originally arranging the numerals, they had placed fourteen next to twelve, the girls might have completed their season without de- feat. For in the thirteenth game, the girls were defeated ty the Y. NV. C. A. Girls of Holyoke in a hard fought contest. Let ts, however, unlike the wisemen of old, omit thirteen fwhieh after all was nothing of which to be ashamedj and gaze in review upon the splendid work the girls have performed this year. Through the excellent coaching of Miss Whitney and the management of Mary Shea '26, in one season the team has elevated itself to amazing heights of success and prominence. Teams like Palmer, Ludlow, Stafford Springs, VVarren and Spencer tprestfmably strongj were easily over- powered by our girls. The girls of 1926, though on the whole not an exceptionally athletic group, were represented in basketball by Jennie Mulvaney and Mary Shea in 1925, and Mary Shea and Celia Jezyk in 1926. If in future years the girls make as much progress as they have the past season, the day may come when the boys will have to be content by culminating their efforts in preliminaries. The girls think so anyway. l HUNUH l'l'l'lLS OF 1926 Buck row: Ruth Kaplan, Harlow Lincoln, Ruth Emerson, John XYisn0ski. Front PONY!
