Your friends won't require it and your enemies won't caref, That was our first thought, but somehow we came to thinking deeper and, to speak truly, less cheerfully, when we realized that this is our last work, our last task, our last contribution to the school which is so dear to us-to our school, so there is much more to be said. Time silently and imperceptibly steals away, with the passing years, many of the impressions formed at school. lt slowly erodes the firm foundation of our school remembrances, until only a few old friendships remain as a monument to the associations which once filled entire lives. Knowledge acquired in the class- room can be recalled in later years from various sources, but the spirit, faith, and achievement which are experienced at school are not perpetuated by notes on text books. The Class of 1925 offers the Saga with the sincere hope that it will keep fresh and green the old associations, and that it will serve to record in a per- manent way for the class, and friends of the Class, the story of the past four years. 4 FACULTY MR. PAUL S. MILLER, AB., MA., Principal Wasliingtoii Highls capable principal is M r. Paul S. Miller, our former vice-principal. A short review of his activities before com- ing here shows that he is a man Well worth knowing, one of experi- ence and education. After graduating from Gettysburg College, Mr. Miller studied at Columbia, and later at Yale. Then he took a position as high school principal in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, for four years. During the War he was a major in the American Red Cross, and finally, he became our vice-principal. As principal of Washington High, Mr. Miller has made friends of both the pupils and the faculty. VVe will ever loyally support him, our guide and friend. 6 MR. FRED A. HUNT, AB. Vice- Principal Mr. Fred Hunt is our vice-principal. He is well known throughout the state as an instructor and director of athletics. He graduated from Bridgeton Academy, Maine, and entered Colby College where he received his A. B. degree. He taught mathematics and directed athletics for five years at the Taunton High School in Massachusetts, and then took the same position at the Bridgeport High School. 7 - -. ,-f lu ... , ,Q 22 f .

A Class Tlistorg X'1i:o1N1,x 'l',xYLok Part ll l am looking for someone-yes, looking for someone who has promised to be one of this noble congregation to-night. Vis the honorable Klr. Dash, the President of the kYho's XYho lriureau who is touring the eountry in search of famous people for his NVho's XYho of l926. .Xt my persuasion he has agreed to be present at this, our Class Night, to hear of the famous personage of the Class of '25. .Xhal l ltle has arrived, and is ready with pad and peneil to hear the verdiet. lie it understood that it is primarily for this gentleman's enlightment and not my pleasure. although I admit that there is some satisfaction in the task, that I am going to drag you. my fellow elassmen, from the shadows of deceit where you have been unwittingly abiding for the past four years into the glaring light of the truth. Let us on! Our first celebrity is XVilliam Carey, our class president. Besides leading us in whatever triumphs we may haxe had. Hill has found time to prove his abilities in his positions as liditor of the Pennant, a varsity debater, a member of llrops and Paints. a member of the Annual Staff. and a player on our victorious Senior football team. XYell done, Hill. Our next notoriety is lXIiss Katherine .Xlexandeit liay's beauty speaks for itself but that is the least of her virtues. She is President of the junior College Club and has been active in societies, plays, debates, and almost everything else of eonsequenee. l am told that gym is liay's NVaterloo but l refuse to believe 51 ,,,, , ,, ll HH ll iv the rumor after seeing her toutrun her sister at 8.085 every blessed morning. There is a limit to my imagination. The second of those illustrious sisters, Sheila Alexander. 'This lass is popu- lar with lboth sexes. She participates in the club life of the school but probably her chief triumph was in dramatics. As leading lady in Supressed Desires Sheila certainly supressed all the desires and expectations of the audi- ence and as Eva in Adam and Eva she was an equal success. Jennie Caldwell, please bow to the ladies. Jennie is, as you can see. one of our prettiest girls and is well liked around the school. Her favlorite motto is An apple a day keeps the doctor away but insists that it only works with Baldwin apples. You probably know Walter Brechlin for two reasons. First, he is the guardian of Mr. French's keys. Many a time has Mr. French crept stealthily into the sacred precincts of a classroom to search out one Walter in order to procure an important-looking ring of keys. His deed accomplished out he tip- toes again and leaves the class to settle into the accustomed routine. The second reason is that VValter sells the popular lunchroom tickets. The line forms to the right on hot dog days, doesnlt it, Wlalter? If you have wondered who the girl is that is found every intermission daintily eating an immense chunk of delicious-looking cake why l'll reveal the secret. 'Twas Charlotte Childs, of course. Charlotte has an advantage over most of us, for she is the child of Mr. Childs, the baker. At least one of our number envies Charlotte, her opportunities and that is Lucy Goerdel. A little birdie whispers in my ear that Lucy is extremly fond of thick chocolate cake. However she's not the only one. Mary Lange, next! 'Tis a starry night in winter. The snow is packed smoothly on Columbus Ave., which stretches before us. ln the moonlight what do we see? VVhy, Mary. 'Tis you. And the gentleman trudging by your side? VVho could it be but Harry? Finish this tale to your own satisfaction for I must hurry on. Monsieur Kropa, est-il ici? Ah, oui. lidward is really quite an expert in French, in fact he seems to have receiued good marks in most all of his studies. The girl with the aloof manner, Pearl Allen. VVhen one knows Pearl she is a real gem but too few do, worse luck. Miss Allen is a frequent patronizer of the cinema and plans to study journalism. Better make it scenario writing, Pearl. 'Tis better to laugh than be sighing, isn't it, Elsa Bliss? I knew yould agree with me. Elsa probably has the speaking acquaintance in this school of 52 Il ll ll uv anyone in our class for she always has a cheery word for the passerby. Miss Bliss is the Library Club's Business Manager, and also belongs to the Junior College Club. I guess weill never forget little Mitzie as he crossed the stage on Stunt Night with Elsa on the other end of the rope. joe Swedock. There is no use in my spouting at great length about Joe, for you all know him. He is everybody's friend and a pluckier or more coura- geous fellow no one ever knew. VVe are proud to have you in the Class of '25, joe, and good luck! Where Catherine Baldwin has kept herself so secretly is one of the unsolv- able problems of the universe so all I know about her is that she is a rare come- dian when properly pitched. Will Leta Athorne kindly oblige? Thanks. Leta has a passion for giggling and for being a disturbing element in the corridors after 12 :36. Her other accom- plishment is athletics in general. May I present one of our soon-to-be trainers of the future generations, Lydia Bishop. Lydia sang in the Glee Club and Chorus but outside of that has made little disturbance these four years. Undoubtedly you know Robert Dowling for he is one of the pillars of the class. Bob is Associate Editor of the Annual, a varsity debater, a member of Props and Paints, a member of the Pennant Staff, and President of the Student General Association. The clever cartoons in the Annual are also his works of art. Few people can dictate in class and Annual meetings and still get away with it, but Bob can, strange to say. His perpetual cry is Letls be original. We have tried, your honor. The little girl with the surprising voice, Helen Marsland. She's small, yes, but quick as lightening. You should see Helen divqe under a pile of stars and dart out again with the basketball under her arm. When searching for Helen, look in the gym. The song bird of the class is Elsie Roosa. We have been honored by selec- tions from Elsie in chapel and in the Minstrels and we have always wanted more. Miss Roosa is a member of the Glee Club and the Art Club. Where, oh where is-August Schmelzer? Of course. August is a member of the Annual Staffs and also is the august President of the Radio Club. When otherwise unengaged he spends his time lauding the abilities of one Shepherd. I-Ie certainly is untiring in his praises as we girls of Shepherds Physics class know. Next is Ethel Greiner. Ethel is one of our nice girls who deem it correct for 53 lu ll ll ll young ladies to be seen and not heard. What must she think of some of us! Ah, woe is me! Lauren Chase is one of the best looking, smartest, and most popular boys in the class. Lauren has been a conqueror on the football Held and, without know- ing it, has been a conqueror in many feminine hearts. He isn't the chasing kind but he gets there just the same. Our best wishes for the future, Lauren! Mary Costable and Pauline Diamond are often seen tripping along these memorable halls together, deeply engrossed in a serious conversation. They always talk in genteel voices as becomes such demure and timid damsels as Pauline and Mary. They are a credit to our gentler sex. Another pursuer of the Normal Course, Ruth Dombroski. Ruth has lent her moral and musical support to the Chorus and intends to enter Normal School next year. Pd be willing to bet trees against toothpicks that Ruth will be able to handle 'em all, even the roughest. Safety first! Our greatest radio fan, Myron Smith, the boy with the dainty voice who is interested in Celestial things. I am told that Myron especially likes to tune in on station W-O-R-R-A-L-L. N 'est-ce-pas, M. Smith. Our next victim is Anna Litchenberger. Anna spends her extra time taking care of little children so we see little of her here at school after 12:36. There ought to be opportunities among the freshmen, Anna. Ever tried it? A mischie- vous imp informs one that Miss Litchenberger is most fond of a certain kind of strong cheese. However 'tis a mere rumor. Marion Reardon is one of the best sports I know of. She takes a live interest in school activities as is shown by her membership in various clubs, and is game to try anything once. Both teachers and pupils will stand up for Marion any old day in the Week. Veronica Pulaska is our other vendor of food tickets. Her extreme ability at making change comes in handy on Tuesday. Veronica is Mr. French's right hand man, or rather woman. Next may I present the irrepressible, irresponsible, irremediable Stanley McGar. Stanley is a member of the Pennant Staff, a member of the Props and Paints, Treasurer of the Athletic Association, a varsity debater and, above all, Editor of this Saga publication of Senior Class. Stan continually laments the fact that nobody here at school takes l'll1'l'l seriously. Never mind, if we did take everything you say seriously, Stan, many of us here tonight would be your enemies instead of your friends. I am sure by the light in her eyes that Stephanie Marcinecld has hidden 54 ll ll ll ll abilities which she is saving for some future emergency, for we have seen little of her these four years. Stephanie enjoys daubing in paints and bright colors. The little girl with the big name, Lilleth Orentlicherman. 1 think Lilleth must build castles in the air for when she's called upon in History she never comes back to material things quite quick enough. Nevertheless when the fate- ful words, Provide yourselves with a piece of yellow paper, some, Lilleth is johnny on the spot and you'd be surprised how many liundreds she gets. I am told that john Kane is here with us. He certainly manages to make himself scarce during the greater part of the time. john has a reputation of raising cane in his Study Hall, but who would blame him? Not l for he is merely trying to livle up to his name. Is lime Niland here? There she is! Time is one of our good-natured girls and a devotee to the French language. 'We believe .lime ought to become an author of fairy tales since her imagination is most pronounced. Ask her to tell you about how she went down the apple tree if you insist upon proof. lt wouldnt be fair to mention anyone next but Betty Fitzgerald for she and lime are boon companions. Betty is a member of the French Club, junior College Club, Library Club and is also capable of getting remarkably good marks. Anna Graycar has been a member of the class of '25 for only two years so she is not as well known as she might have been. Nevertheless, .Xnna is well liked by all her acquaintances. The boy who always llnds the proverbial silver lining, Leonard Del Vecchio. Leonard is justly blamed for much of the disturbance in his class rooms for he always has a grin on. However he takes at least one thing seriously, football. We canyt help wondering why Leonard patronizes the Middletown trolley to such an extent. XVe'd really like an explanation. VVill limily Goodsell please overcome her bashfulness enough to stand? Emily is still wondering why some of us make so much noise and commotion at high school when it can really all be done so quietly and unobtrusively. CP IV A knows Clare Carter because of her oral theme treats. l've always thought that that story she told about her nrst love alliair might bear investigation but far be it from me to raise a scandal. The baby of our class is Evelyn Carlson. lsn't she cute? lVe think so. livelyn is a loyal supporter of all school activities which is something we can say of few people. Come sta, Signore Pellegrino? That's supposed to beiltalian, you know. Louis was a member of our one and only Italian class which accomplished such 55 ll ll all all wonders last year. Louis was our master comedian and was responsible for many a smile, yea, many a snicker. lf you will, please, Miss .-Xdele Carlson. .Ndele is one of our most studious girls as her report cards will testify with its rows of A's. Besides studying, Adele has lent her support to the musical organization of the school. Marjorie Campbell and, yes, you too Lillian Friedman, the two inseparables. lividently they find each other sufficient unto themselves for seldom have they allowed others to interfere with their close friendship. May it continue! Anna Chamberlain, the girl with the remarkable smile. Anna is a member of the Library Club and 'lunior College Club. She is a devotee to the art of violin playing and has a pronounced weakness for the movies. However, she probably goes for the music, who knows? Rose Pullan understands Latin, German, Nath. and History with equal skill. That is why Rose is asked so many last 1llllllll16 questions at intermission in 106. One is sure of the correct solution to the problem if one asks Rose. May your good marks continue in college, Rose. Will Harold Anderson oblige us? Harold is the goat of a certain History Class for when there is hesitation ouer whom to call on, he is invariably the victim. XVell, you know the willing ones are always imposed upon so clon't you care, Harold. .-Xnderson was a member of our Champion Senior Football Team. livelyn Bartlett is very strongly opposed to the light for she has kept almost entirely in the dark these past four years. Perhaps she is wise like the owl. We like lLvelyn's name being very fond of that species of pear which is named for her. ls that little boy with the crimson locks here? Yes, you, Joseph Mahon. joseph has frequently participated in interclass debates and always seemed to get the utmost joy out of winning. How very strange! Next may I introduce Florence Sehaaf. To most of us it is an introduction in truth for Florence' is seldom seen and less often heard. 1-low do you manage to disappear so promptly after 12:36 Florence? lt may be said of Alice Seery and Dorothy Schukaske, like Alice like Dorothy, for they are always in each others company, and seem to be interested in about the same things. Both are close pursuers of Dame Fashion and while they go sing blithely to keep up their spirits and those of their companions. Mary Lombardi is still letting us guess what she is like and l'm afraid many of us have woefully failed in our meagre attempts. Mary is an exponent of the very short bobs which are pronounced correct at the moment. 56 ll ll Ill li Wie found in Leonard Diguilio a valuable man for our varsity football team. Louis was among the fortunate ones to receive a sweater and has been proudly displaying it evler since. NVell done, little man. Did l hear a snicker? l don't see anything funny yet I thought l did. Alia, 'tis you Lillian Hogan. I might have guessed as much. Yes, and you too Aldene O'Neil. These two people think High School isn't so worse since laughing hasnlt been abolished as yet. My next victim is Robert Mason but he's a nice boy so l'1l let him off easy. Bob is President of the Debating Society, a member of Annual and Pennant Staffs. He is also one of our speakers tonight as the writer of half the Class Will. fSnuff said. Ruth Lowe is still another of our girls who wants to be a school teacher and is consequently persuing the Normal Course. Our class is certainly doing its share in supplying teachers and 'tis surely a noble deed. One of our smallest girls and one of our nicest is Ruth Coleman. Ruth has written many good tales for the Pennant and is a Library Club member of the less troublesome sort. Her trim hair cuts and her ability to get on the Honor Roll are equally lauded by her many admirers. One of the lookers-on of the class is Marie Griffin who nevertheless has seemed to appreciate the deeds and attempts of her fellow classmen. Marie is one of those people who firmly believe that not all can be leaders but all can be sympathizers. Up, Rita Cheiken. Rita is with us but not of us for even at this crucial moment in our life as a class, llll wager that she's dreaming of New York and the gay life there. However she applies herself to her fond books and frequently gets on the Honor Roll. The Paul VVhiteman of the class of 325 is VVillia1n Sokol. Billie can cer- tainly play jazz and has appeared from time to time as pianist for dance orchestras. He also has played football and has an enviable record along that line. In the cause of victory, Bill has several times put his collar bone out of joint but smiled on. ,Bill is our idea of a good sport. A shark at linglish and History, a wide reader, a remarkable thinker, a Varsity debater, a member of all important clubs, one of our Class Prophets all that is Ruth Bush and more. 57 ll welll! ii it And now, my last victim-VVhen I chance to lift 1ny weary eyes from the dreary page of my Assembly book on a Monday morning, and l. glance down the hall, one stately lad catches my wandering attention for he towers a whole head above his companions-yes, you'x'ie guessed it! ftwas Malcolm iilantz. Mal- colm is a Yarsity debater and a member of the Debating Society. lf anyone wants to know anything about past school activities and entertainments, or any- thing about Virgil translations, just ask Malcolm, for he's a specialist along these lines. However first and foremost, he is my worthy co-blunderer in this Chronicle of the Class of l25. My part in these revelations is over. lt is perhaps as well that my ties with my class will soon be broken for I know not how many friends I have lost and enemies I have gained in the past few minutes. However, that may be, mine is an optimistic nature so I will hope for the best and believe in these words of Klilton: f'I'eace, brothers: be not ovper-exquisite To cast the fashion of uncertain evils: For grant they be so, while they rest unknown, Wliat need a man forestal his date of grief, ,Xnd run to meet what he would most avoid ? 58 1925 Sem-Aa-6-S-A 1925 Class fl-listorg MALCOLM GLANTZ PART Il During those four fruitful years of my life, eked out in pursuing the varied course of the elusive Education, I have often been assailed by an urge to reveal the deeds, noble or ignominious, of those students who have accompanied me through this youthful valley of gloomy, bristling shades and golden clinks oi' light, as Virgil has described it. At last has come the moment when my hope is realized, and using the immediate purpose of being asked to collect data for who's who, as Miss Taylor has told you, I am finally accomplishing what for four years has prodded me at intervals. Already the idiosyncracios and misdeeds of part of this class have been exposed to you, and continuing farther I must enlighten you as to the proceedings of certain other individuals who have carved their names in the annals of this school, now to be quite immortalized in this document. Being of a naturally altruistic nature. I shall seek always to emphas size the gentle and admirable aspects of their natures, forgetting the base dispo- sitions on days of term examinations. In the first place there is Robert Russell who has successfuly managed the Saga, and that is saying a great deal in a few words. His pursuits have been mostly classical, but he has participated in enough other activities here to assure one that his wordly business will be prohtable. Another member of Albert's abused business staff of the Pennant was Catherine Molloy, famed for her commercial propensities and masculine tenden- cies, as exemplified in the little bow ties she was accustomed to wear. 'Tis rumored that when assignments are given out Catherine is among the missing, but her work in other activities was long and arduous. Her portrayal of Corinthea I-Iice in Adam and Eve was especially good. Speaking of dramatics, Kurt Brenner was also interested in that sort of thing and appeared in the two riotous Senior Stunt Nights, although that is not msinuating any reason for the application of that epithet. Besides his proclivi- ties for vocal exercise, Kurt also was keen on basketball, which prospered with his wide aid. The very deep dimple in Kurt's chin may or may not mean a thing Vm sure I don't know, but at least I a1n better able to judge in the case of Lois H all, where it certainly does. After about a year of serious and decorous study Lois, who has dabbled in almost everything, tried her wings, and Ending them quite agreeable, has since 59 1925 Sum-Aa-G-S-A 1925 been using them extensivgely, Hitting about from one Affaire de coeur to another, in short, acting the part of a modern, gay young thing, as every charming girl does, I suppose, at some time or another. In her junior year when Lois very capably played the lead in the French Club play, George Sklar acted opposite her in the role of M. Periehon, and since then he has been in the limelight rather continuously. His musical talent has been displayed for four years in his playing in the orchestra, but that must not be hoarded against him. Any taint on his character that might imply is more than offset by his work in debating and on the staffs of the Saga and Pennant. The associate editor of the Pennant this year was Laura Taylor, one of the most respected girls in the class, who has generously helped many organizations with her unceasing cheerful willingness to work. Her very good but infrequent, poetic contributions to the school paper, culminated in her selection as class poet, and she has graced the position with unusual merit. A newcomer from Southington is Thornton Smith, who, although he has been here only a year, has made many friends, mostly through his truly polished acting in the annual French Club play. Florence Ives is a representative from the great open spaces, famed alike for her fresh complexion and marvlelous talent for playing the piano. Mason Mahon may be cast into the same category as this man whom two girls were discussing- No, he ainit exactly what ya call handsome-just sorta-- you know, elegant, with dark hair an' eyes and a-well I don't know just how to describe 'imf' D Yeah, I know the type. Despite his villianous aspect, however, he is quite harmless, as is attested by his playing of the mild butler in a Props and Paints play. I11 another of the one act plays presented that year by the dramatic society, Elinor Michel did perhaps one of the most frivolous things in her career Qso far as we can ascertainj when she portrayed the younger sister who falls in love with a married man. Otherwise Elinor has been one of our lessoning students with enviable row upon row of A'sg she has likewise been president of the Art Club and a varsity debater. Ii. Shepherd, another inhabitant of Southington, is one of those rare indi- viduals who seemingly bubbles over with humor, and still remains a favorite with the faculty. That, however, be it understood, is casting no reflections on the humorous perspective of the teacher. 60 1925 S-m-Aa-6-S-A 1925 For one who has been here only a year, Gladys Starbuck has innumerable friends and slaves, entranced no doubt by her interesting pallor and throaty voice, even as I. One of those husky heroes is Fred Yale, a prominent member of the class, who so remarkable exploits on the senior football team still haunts the dreams of his opponents. Aside from that fearsome incident, Fred rates well in the esteem of everyone. Another character to inspire, not so much awe, as respect, is James Spellacy, who has performed a double standard of high standing in scholastic and outside work. I-Ie is one of those comfortable individuals who nearly always knows the answerf' not even as I, however. Two of the blessed damselsn both with golden hair, who hover about the school store, dealing out erasers and paper to the angry mobs who surge in there, are Ruth Tuthill and Constance Robinson. Ruth is also famed for her glee club work, as Constance is known for her intriguing laconicness. And, lo, behold Qas cross word puzzles have itj in distinct contrast to the gently sweet voices of those two girls, we have George Montemurio, he of the rosy cheeks and healthy voice. When occasionally a war whoop breaks out we know that it is George talking in his natural voice. I-Ie was another of us who was always anxious to recite after someone had been called on. But now let us gaze on the sweet smiling countenance of our petite collegiate Mary O'Brien. Mary was always so sympathetic and effective that she has made her way into practically every activity in the school. Library Club, Pennant, Annual, Props and Paints and a score of other organizations have claimed her. In addition she has starred in dramatics and debate and has successfully managed the champion girls' basket ball. Indeed, Mary, has been taking part in so many activities that she is a vertical pillar of the school. Catherine Flynn is a Latin shark with a sense of humor, and as we've remarked once before, that is saying a lot in a little. She has also been a member of the French and Junior College Club. F. Swinka is another of those truly admirable persons who come to school to study. So engrossed has he been in the intellectual life, in fact, that the school at large has not seen much of him. One memorable thing, though, was the time he gave a very humorous theme on the celebrated race of Pheidippedes. The ancient aesthetic art of dancing has had a charming exponent in Dorothy Skinner, a very.,clever girl with many friends, which is no wonder. Dorothy added greatly to the prestige of those famous Senior Nights, as well as the minstrels, and other amateur productions. 61 ll ll Ill ll Going from the artistic to the humorous brings you face to face with Dudley Warnes, the well-known-Life of the Class in capital letters. Dud is one of those cheerful Epicureans with few worries, almost like Ruth Schwink whose circle of friends is most large, due to her cheerful disposition, and despite her loudly proclaimed hatred of school. Although she has servled in the Student Council and other of the more serious organizations, still it is in the Glee Club that Ruth's talent reaches its apex, as almost anyone could tell you. Next there is Alton Wright, the boy with a deacon's sober countenance and fiendish sense of humor. His oral themes have been especially good, but every- one was miserably thwarted when the chairman forbade his giving a theme con- cerning some love affair, for he feared the effect on the class morale. Another of those thundering, virile young men who constitute such a large part of the masculine section of the class is Raymond Salka who unloaded some of his voice acting as cheer leader, and doing it well. One of the genial athletes is Leonard Petrucelli who acquitted himself very creditably in all his activities, and was very well liked. Cosmo Aloia abided by the adage that the sight of children far surpasses their oratorical prowess in excellence, to paraphrase rather inanely, and so he has devoted most of his course to study. Edgar Smith is in exactly the same category as Cosmo, but occasionally he did crash through with some well prepared French oral themes. Speaking of quiet persons, Elizabeth Manley is just what her name implies. Rather than pursue the frivolous, Elizabeth has spent much time in reading, and is exceptionally well informed on poetry. Kenneth Birch is our next wictim but for some reason or other we can't seem to find much information on this Worthy gentleman so we will let him speak for himself. You have nothing to say? Very well, let us proceed. Another one of our infants is Sylvia Levine. Pray don't misunderstand, I mean infants in stature, not mentally. Sylvia was in the cast of Adam and Eva and is much interested in elocution and public speaking. Debating and the various societies have claimed this damsel for their own. Now, I wonder where our polished gentleman, William Roberts, is? Bill is a Stunt Nightu favorite, an actor in the cast of Adam and Eve, a Pennant man and an Annualite. A valuable man is he, and a popular one. Do you all remember that day when we were assembled on the front lawn to be instructed in the rudiments of the Fire Alarm Box? I do for I was thus freed of two minutes of agony from Latin. Well, the point of this preamble is to introduce to you Mabel Fisher who graciously and gracefully showed us ignorant ones what to do, when, and where in case of a fire. Besides being an active member in the Girl Scouts, Mabel has industriously labored in the Agassiz Society. Marsden Cooke, the boy with the alibies. Teachers never phase this young gentleman when they demand why his assignment is' not done for somewhere Marsdon has stored a varied and vgaluable list of reasonable alibies and is there- fore prepared for any emergency which may arise. 62 1925 S-CD-A-11-6-SA 1925 Annie and Mollie Horn are now in the limelight. You've guessed it, they are sisters and are seen together much in these halls. Mollie is the Captain of our Girls' Basketball Team and Annie is always in the rooter section cheering 'em on. Your turn has come, Justine Horrigan. As you see Justine is very pretty but in spite of, or perhaps on account of her beauty, she is a successful business woman as she has proven in her positions as circulation manager of the Annual, business manager of Props and Paints, and a member of the Pennant business Staff. We have a valuable member in Justine. Harold Hagner has faithfully manipulated the instruments of concussion in the orchestra on Monday mornings in chapel. Outside of that he has played football and slept in Algebra class. Une of our Commercialites, Eleanor Hill. Eleanor lives conveniently near the Armory and Pm told that her conquests there are many. Eleanor helped out on Stunt Night with her uke if you remember correctly. Virginia Wheeler. Virginia is one of our bright social butterflies. How- ever, she has found time to be more than just popular for she is Pres. of Props and Paints, an actress of the cast of Adam and Eve, and a member of the Library Club, Junior College and French Clubs. Virginia has a weakness for being behind time but she got there just the same. Frances Hubbard is one of our best and most conscientious students her report cards will testify. In the meanwhile she has made an extensiyge list of friends and has given some wonderful themes for CP IVA. Here's another conspicuous Honor Roll member, Florilla Lasley. Florilla is a musician, and has proved her ability as a writer by winning a prize for her thoughts on the budget. May your success continue. Our football star is next, Harold Lorenz. Harold has done valuable work with the pigskin which all the rooters fully appreciated. Then to complete his victory, he showed us that his talents were not limited to the field but extended to the sciences. And let us present one of our busy commercial students, industrious Herbert Erickson. Herby's motto is work then play. Consequently we have seen little of him after school closed, but when it comes to scholarship Herby is very much in evidence. Again meet unobtrusive Dexter Hubbard. Dexter has been one of the silent members of the class but when he does speak every one takes notice. Dexter is a radio fan of wide range and has led many interesting debates on this subject in CPIVC. 63 sem A SPIRI wi K IW 4 QIXQSKN 'HZ 'f H2 I ilu T as w 3' wa- 22- 1113 l .+,. .rj M 55,-E-'Sag ,K 1, :NH was xxl .

And then next day we saw in the paper that he said it was a complicated case 'cause when he came to the scene of the robbery he found the window was broken on both sides. Bob-Yeah, he's quick. I never would of thought of that. Gee look here! It's our piano and music teachers, Miss Schukaske and Miss Alice Seery. They look good all right and they're nice when you know your lesson, but when I flon't they sometimes squeal to Momma. Beth-just turn over a minute, I saw someone, see it's Miss Weigaiicl, my Sunday School teacher. You know last week she asked that dumb Sammy Budd why the tower of Babel wasn't iinished, and you know what he said? He said, Cause the Workers went on strike. Bob-Ooh, wait her's someone look, Mr. Russell! He's a good English teacher all right and he don't give you sessions for talking. They say he's real smart and has written a book all about Professor james Spellacy, the biologist, who found the missing link in Africa. But I guess that Prof. Spellacy's so absent minded he'd leave his cuff links anywhere. Beth-Say wouldn't they be ripping mad if they thought we know all about them when they were kids! Say, listen, Bobby, you know I heard Agnes tell Mrs. Turner's maid something awful funny. She said that she knew a girl named 72 al Ill ll ul Stephanie Marcinak who didn't want to be a plain Stenographer, and she was a female Diogenes. That's 'cause she went around lookin' for a man: but 'cause she didn't ask for an honest man, she got hi1n. Do you believe that? Bob-No! She's a fibber. I know she is, so there! One day I said to her, Aggie, what are little girls made of P and she said, Sugar and spice, and all things nice. Then I asked, And what are little boys made of F and she said, snakes and mice and puppy dog tales and you know that's a lie! Beth-No that's true,-'cause- Bob-'Tain't! Bethf'Tis! Bob-'Tain,t, I say! Beth-All right, if you wanta fight, I'm not goin' to tell you about Aggie and Lorenz. Bob-Lorenz-Fat Lorenz? Oh please do Beth I won't be mean if you do. Beth-Well I heard Agnes say to Momma that Lorenz was a sailor and she wasn't goin, to marry no sailors. Mom said, Why ? and she told her it was because they always come in for port but somehow they never get across a bar . So she is thru with him she says. But I don't think Lorenz is sore. Bob-That reminds 1ne of a funny story I heard Daddy tell Professor Wright, who teaches Japanese at the night school to the laundry-men's children. He said that there was a great explorer named Sklar and he had a great big boat with loads of sailors. But he was vlery proud of his French and used to order the men in French so they could learn the language but didn't always under- stand. So one day a great big storm came up and he yelled and yelled at the sailors in French but they couldn't get it. So the ship went down and the men too. All but one man, who would not learn the French anyhow, and he had deserted in the last port, 'cause he told one of the men he was tired of working for two mast-ers anyhow. Oh, yes, this Sklar was saved. He threw the French dictionary overboard and floated on that, high and dry. I-Ie landed on one of the South Sea Islands where he married the queen. - Beth-Pooh thatls nothinl. I know a better one than that. Once't there was a girl named Gladys Starbuck and a boy named Joseph Mahon who went explorin' in an airplane. And somehow when they got as far as Africa, somethin' went wrong with the machine so that they had to lighten the weight. Well this Gladys offered to jump off. You see she was a good dancer and so athletic that she figured she could land on her feet. Well, when she fell to earth from a clear sky, the people watching all thought she was a goddess and began to worship her. 73 lu ll lu ll But Mahon got worried so he jumped over after her. But soon as they saw him, they forgot all about her, for they'd never seen anyone with gold teeth and red hair. So they made him king besides. Bob-Yeh, that's pretty good. But look, here's an advertisement about an old circus. It tells all about the famous Hubbard, world's greatest tight rope walker and jugglerg and here's Veronica Pulaska, too, champion elephant rider with yellow curls and pink tights. Gee, you bet that's what I like to see. The circuses are the best things in the world. Beth-Say Bobby, we'd better hurry 'cause Momma is going to take us down to have our pictures taken this afternoon and then she'll take us somewhere, I like to have my picture taken and the lady that takes them Miss Orentlicherman Qno pun intendedj is so nice when she gets you ready and says, Look pleasant, now. Bob-Oh I don't like that. What I like is the elevator man that takes you up. I forgot his name. IFS- Beth-It's Bob Mason. Bob-Oh yeah, he's the one that's always sayin' funny things. Do you remember what he said last time. I remember. He said, I like it hereg I fre- quently get raised and when I am called down I always take the meddlesome grouch down a peg or two with me and besides he's got a wonderful suit, with all gold buttons and white braid. Beth-I just told you that Mom promised to take us somewhere after the pictures if we're good. I hope it's the vaudeville 'cause Aggie told me that some one named John Kane is goin' to do some Irish jigs and a cute little girl named Evelina Carlson who looks like Mary Pickford will sing some songs and dance. Bob-Pooh, that ainlt nothin'g but Smapper told me that a fellow they call Salka does a vpentri-loquist act. Beth-What's that? Bob-Don't you know that? That's where they act like people and imitate all kinds of birds. And he can talk louder than any other man in the whole world too, cause he used to practice it when he was at high school. I-leid be better to see, I think. Beth-You know Miss Wilbur who teaches sewing, well some one told me she's gone over to Laurel Orphanage now and she has more than one hundred girls to take care of. Gosh, I don't envy her. She was so easy that she couldn't even keep her class quiet. 74 1925 S-m-Agrees-A M1925 Bob-Aw, that's nothin' to manage a class of girls. I know a fellow called Katz, and he has a prep school in Cheshire for 163 boys that the state gives him every year, and they aren't all sissies either. When they get rough, he just lines 'em all up and goes down the line whipping 'em. But just the same it's nice to live there I bet, for they got a chef that makes peachy blueberry pies and he serves hot dogs more'n once a week. Bth-What's his name? He must be nice. Bob-I think it's Yale. Beth-You mean the college don't you? Bob-No I mean the man's name. I'm' sure it's Fred Yale. Beth-You know Bobby, I just happened to think of something funny I heard Momma's bridge club talkin' about. There were two women named Ruth Schwink and Ruth Tuthill an' they went into Africa to convert the negroes. But they didn't get along very well and soon they didn't have a cent. But pretty soon this Schwink girl got an idea. She said why not sell the few bottles of shoe blacking to the Zulus, so that they would not fade in the sun. Well they made loads of money and it became the style to paint themselves black. The Miss Tuthill stayed and married a missionary widower with serien children. But the other one came back here and she's the most popular person here. That's why the women were all talking about her. Bob-QSearching thru old newspapers in the trunkj-O-O-h here's a funny thing. You know that imported Pellegrino perfume that Mother uses. Well here is the man's picture. Beth-Let me see. QShe readsj A skin you lone to touch. Keep that school girl complexion. Bob-Remember that tall lady with the yellow hair that used to come over and tell us stories. just listen to this. the noted lecturer and humorist, Miss Elinore Racker, will give a lecture in the Town Hall Auditorium at 8:15 this evening on The Writers of the Victorian Age. Beth-Wait, Bob, I just saw an awful pretty hat for sale. What does it say under the ad. Oh, it's a good one, just listen to it. Mme, Irene Robinson Hats. Genuine Imported Models. We present stylish Americans with crowns. Bob-Aw, who's interested in hats anyway. I thought you were goin' to show me something important. Now Illl tell you somethin' important if you promise not to tell. You know the man that tends to the gas meter, Sullivan,- No I think it's Seligman-well he said that the funny box down the cellar was a bank and if I wanted I could save 1ny quarters and put them in there. So I put seven of them in and one day I told Tommy Atkins and he said that I'll 75 ll ll ll ll never get it out 'cause that's where you put the money that makes the gas, and then the gas man comes and he takes it himself. Do you believe that? Beth-No, but I won't tell anyone, and now I'll tell you a secret too, if you won't tell. You know that party I went to at Mable's? Well a little girl fell off her chair right on to the Hoor, and all the other girls began to laugh but me. I didn't laugh a bit. Bob-Gee, that was real nice. VVhy didn't you laff? Momma always says you're such a giggler. Beth-Well you see it was 1ne that fell. Bob-Oh, pshaw, the way you get me all worked up for something great and then it's nothing! Say, I forgot what the teacher told us to remember about I-Iistory. Do you remember? Beth--It was something about the secretary of state. But I don't know who he is. Bob-Oh yes I know now. It is that man who is so original and said we shouldn't recognize the Russians until they used Colgates Shaving Cream. Beth-Yes I know that now and we had to find out who his new secretary was, too. I found out it was Miss Connie Robinson who used to go to our high school and got her start by selling 1 cent pen points in the school store. And now look where she is! Bob-You know that circus I told you about. Well, in this paper it says there is going to be one here on june 22d. I know the man that sells the popcorn and lemonade in this Dingling Brothers', and he'll give us some for nothin'. I-Ie used to live two blocks from school and sell us things then, you know Eddie Kropa. Then you know that big man Montemurro that stands outside and yells, Come this way, this way. See the only snake woman in captivity. Five cents for children. Adults, ten cents. This way. ,I-lerels your chance! He's so big that may-be he won't see us if we skin past him. We'll make ourselves very small. An' get in for nothin', what do you say? Beth+Oh Bobby, I'd rather go to the circus than any vaudeville. Down by the school I saw a big poster of a girl who does tricks on a ring way up in the air. They say shels French, they call her Marie Annise Reardony, and she has the most perfect legs in the world which are insured for a million dollars, do you believe that? Bob-Yeh, maybe. Anyhow I'm goin'. The animals and elephants will be great. Oh, but I just remembered that Mom doesn't like circuses. 76 192 Sem-Asif-6-S-A 1925 Bob-Qr if he won't take us, I know who will. You know that new chauffeur, and butler, Mahon that the Altynes have, well he's awful nice and I been hanging around him lately. I-Ie says he really isn't a chauffeur, but he's working here to get 'sperience for a new book about Society. And some day he'l1 be famous. But no one except me knows he's in disguise, and they treat him awful. But he's good to me 'cause I know he's nice. Beth-Have they got a new Butler? Well you know, Bobby, I heard Mrs. Smith tell Mother that there was a new policeman on that beat and he always used to call on Delia, and it got so bad that they even wanted to use the front parlor and she simply couldn't stand it any longer. And besides it made her nervous to see a policeman always hanging around, 'cause she supposed that pretty soon she'd be arrested by her own maid. So she hred Delia. Bob-Oh that Mrs. Smith givqes 1ne a pain. Always gabbin'! You know what I once heard her tell Momma? She said her husband Edgar was awful wild and poular with the women, and if she let him, he'd smoke two cigars a day. It was simply awful. And she told Mother that a few nights ago Smith came in late, and she was sitting up waitin' for him. And she said, Edgar Smith, what is the matter with you P And he looked at her closely a few minutes and said, Well, I s-swear you two girls l-l-look enuf alike to-to-to-be sisters . And then she began to bawl. She said she'd a gone home to her Mother but she was goin' to stay and reform him. Gee, I was laffing so hard behind the door I almost queered myself, and had to beat it. Beth-Bobby, here's a picture of a man that looks just like the best man at Momma's wedding. Don't you remember? Bob-Silly, how should I remember! Betli-Well you heard Dad say, how the ministerfsaid, Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife and poor Lewis got so Hustered he said, I do. Then he got so scared he ran out and upset everything. I bet Dad was sore. Beb-Well I don't think Lewis took it much to heart 'cause he and Smith are partners and doin' well. Beth-In what? Bob-Undertakin' business. It's great I think laying out all the dead people in their best clothes. And they're the only people in town so they get all the trade. Beth-Oh, Bobby, quit it. You got the worst notions. That ain't funny. Now I suppose Illl dream of it all night. Oh, Bobby look at this bundle of pictures! I wonder whose they are? I-Iere's a paper tied around them. Oh! 77 ll ul ul YH Theyire the pictures of all the Senior Class of 1925. Gee, but they're funny. Who is that girl? Bob-Why that's Pearl Allen. She's now known as the new Harrison Fisher girl and poses for Cosmopolitan and College Humor. Beth-And here's Katherine Alexander, She's married now, you know, and in addition has written a famous book on How To Make Cocoa Without Burn- ing It. Bob--That must be her sister Sheila Alexander. She's writing for the Meriden Morning Record, now, and has charge of the column Advice to the Lovelornf' Beth-Oh, Look! This is Ruth Bush. She was so brilliant in school. She's growing more famous every day both here and abroad. She has already 175 books and conceded to be a greater short story writer than Washington Irving. Bob-For goodness sake, Beth, who is that awfully thin girl? Beth-That looks like Jennie Caldwell to me. Momma says she used to love horses, and now she's traveling with Marsden Cook's and Herbert Ericson's Circus as the world's most famous horse back rider. Bob-Oh look! Hereis that Ruth Coleman who came to see us today. She's a book agent for Telling Tales, Hot Dog and Snappy Stories. Beth-Isn't this girlbeautiful? I wonder who she is, oh yes! Elza Bliss! She's a nurse at the White House now and she's taking care of Robert Dowling who is president and he's having a wonderful time running the government. Yes, and Bill Carey is Secretary of State. They have good team work. Bob-This picture is signed by Claire Carter. Aunt Gooclsell had a letter from her the other day. She livpes in France now and sells a new kind of lC1Tl011- ade called the Carter Special. Aunt Emily, married Walter Brechlin don't you remember? The man who makes Moth Proof Umbrellas ? Beth-I recognize Rita Cheiken by her eyes. She owns a very exclusive Night Club in New York where she dances every evening. She's very famous. Bob-Good-night! Beth! Here's Catherine Flynn. I'd never know her by that picture. Why she's in the Metropolitan Opera Company now, and she's changed her name to Katrina Flynnerska. Beth-Isn't that girl cute? Bob-Yes, that's Betty Fitzgerald. She and Eme Niland own a hair dress- ing shop in New York. They specialize in a permanent wave that doesn't need heat to put it in. Beth-That's Justine Horrigan I know. Because I saw her last week in Boston. She's an efficiency expert. All her experience came from being 78 ll lu ul nu Business Manager of the Props and Paints play and Circulation Manager of the Annual at High School. Bob-This is Sylvia Levine isn't it? I saw her yesterday. She and Pauline Diamond own a fruit stand together. Sylvia sings beautiful songs and attracts the crowds while Pauline sells the oranges and bananas to the customers. Beth-Oh Bob, here is Mabel Fisher's picture. She's the head of the Girl Scouts of America now and she's giving a series of lectures this week on How to Ring Fire Alarms. Bob--Yeh, she was always bound she'd start an alarm. But say who does this look like? Beth-Why isn't it Lillian Freidman? Bob-Gosh yes! You know she compiled a whole new dictionary just to solve cross word puzzles. Beth-Oh Bob look at this awfully fat girl! Why I do believe its Lucy Goer- del. Well she certainly has grown thin during the last twenty-live years. Why I read today that she was the world's thinnest woman and had written a book entitled Roller Skate and Grow Thinf! Bob-She was just the opposite of Alice Goodall. Wasn't she? Did you know Beth, that she and Marie Griffin own Hartman's Candy store now, and every Sunday they give away life savers. Bob-It's the only thing that saves the store. Say who is that girl with the funny little nose? She looks so inquisitive. I Beth-Bob! Here is Catherine Baldwin. I read in Physical Culture the other day that she is a wonderful tight rope walker. I guess she believes in hitting the high spots. Beth-Why itis Mary O'Brien of course! Momma says she used to want to be a lawyer or a journalist but when she was 18 years old she fell in love and married a plumber. Bob-Gee what light hair on this girl! It must be Betty Manley. I heard Dad say she just got her heart's desire now. She just translated another book of Virgil, hitherto unknown. Beth-Bob! Did you ever see such beautiful hair. That must be Mary Costable. Momma says she used to have lovely curls. I read in a movie maga- zine last week that she is known now as a second Mary Pickford. Bob-Isn't Evelyn Carlson the cutest little girl? Poppa said she was always very fond of dolls and played for a long time with her Teddy. She owns a taxi company in Berlin. Oh look! I-Iere's Elinor Michel isn't it? Mom says she's in 79 HI um ul IH South Africa now teaching the negroes how to be thrifty and studious. But who is that pretty girl? Beth-Itlooks like Anna Chamberlain. Isn't she babyish? Momma had a letter from her the other day. She's teaching Latin at Harvard-the first woman professor in the world to teach at a Men's College. Bob-Why look-here's that Leta Athorne who we saw last night at Poli's in vaudeville! She danced and played a ukelele while Lillian Hogan who is her partner played the saxaphone and the piano at the same time. Say who is that girl with the big baby eyes? Bob-And I heard him say she was quite a math student in her high school days. But golly Beth! Hasn't Lois Hall changed? She used to be an awful fin the liberal sensej vnamp. She's tamed down now and is doing missionary work on the Fiji Islands with Donald Ellis. Beth-The first 100 years are the hardest you know. But my here's Elinor Hill. Did you know she was married to Lauren Chase, the famous contractor. Fuzzy builds homes and she wrecks 'em. They're quite wealthy. Bob-Do you know who this girl is? I saw her picture in last Sunday's Waterbury Herald. ' Beth-Why it's Marion Heineman, the most beautiful girl in Greenwich Village. But look at these two grinners-Mollie and Annie Horn. They're touring the country now as the world's champion typists. My goodness he's Kurt Brenner! He's a History teacher now at high school. He's trying to take Miss Hendrickis place but it can't be done. Oh! Whois that handsome man? Bob-Robert Bunnell. Isn't he Grace-ful? Almost as much of a Beau Brummel as Bill Roberts. I went into his clothing store the other day. He specializes in bright colored socks. Beth-Oh I saw this man in the Pathe pictures last week. Heys Leonard Del Vecchio. He's the f1l1ndom's prize sheik besides being a fervent advocator of free beer. Bob-Look, Beth! Herels that red headed Leah Hart that Poppa said always liked to slap people. She's a pretty good musician now, she kept us awake all last night playing her trombone at Mrs. fones' house. Beth-Momma had a card from Florence Ives, she's coming to visit us over the week-end. She's been teaching kindergarten in West Haven. Look what fluffy hair Mamie Lange has! In a beauty magazine last month I read that she had started the fashion of dying your hair the color of the dress you wore. Bob-I'd like to hear Florilla Lasley play the piano wouldn't you? They 80 ll UH all will say she's the greatest lining pianist and she insists that she never took a music lesson in her life. ' Beth-Bob, look! I-lere's Anna Litchenberger. Poppa saw her in the Zieglield Follies last winter. He says she dances beautifully. Bob-Well I guess this girl is just as good as Anna Litchenberger. It's Mary Lombardi and shels in the movies now. There's a Mack Sennet Comedy at the Palace this week and Mary is one of the bathing beauties. Beth-This is Ruth Lowe. I've heard Momma speak of her. She has just published a book What's In A Name. I hear that itis very popular with the School Board. Bob-Look, Beth, this is Helen Marsland that Poppa said used to play basketball so well. She runs a store in VVallingford, now, and sells dogs, and Canaries, and snakes. Beth-I suppose that when I get to High School I'll have Harold Anderson in Algebra. He has taken Mr. Townsend's place as the greatest living Mathe- matician. Bob-Guess who this is Beth. Mom bought my last suit from him. Beth-Why it's Cosma Aloia who is in the firm of Besse-Boynton 81 Aloia. Bob-Correct. Beth-Bob! Look. Do you remember the home run king Freddy Faltow who put Babe Ruth out of business. He's manager now of that Chicago Red Sox. The club that Kenneth Birch is chief owner. Bob-Say Beth! This is the kind of a man I like! That's Louis Diguillio. Momma says he used to play football at High School and now he's on the All- American team. Heis going to Europe next week. Beth--O-o-oh Bobby! Ainlt he lucky? I wish I could go to Europe. Bob-Ssh Beth! Who is that downstairs? Beth-It sounds to me like Reverent Glantz. I bet he's making his annual call on Momma. just our luck. I-Ie's almost solemn as an undertaker himself. And when he says the prayers in Latin it makes me laugh so hard Mother has to pinch me. Last time he was here I had the bangs you know, and he patted me on the head and said, And what are you going to be, my little man, when you grow up ? Nothing, I said. He looked at me queer and said, Why, how's that ? 'Cause I'm a little girl.' ' Bob-I guess he's alright. You remember how he was for Coolidge and once a man got into an argument with him, and the man said he didn't like Coolidge, but he thought La Follette was great just like the earth. And Reverent Glantz said Yes, just like the earth. He was flattened at both polls. 81 1925 S-Ov-Aft-G-S-A 1925 Beth-Speaking of ministers reminds me of a minister's daughter. You know, yesterday, I heard Mother saying that after Laura Taylor graduated from Mt. Holyoke, she opened up a school out NVest for relined ladies, But there werenlt any there, so she began to teach the cow-boys. They used to give her rattlers and six shooters and other pretty trinkets, and tho she was scared stiff she didn't dare hurt their feelings by refusing them. Then just as she gave them up as hopeless, a dancing Dartmouth dare-devil rode out to the West, and since his plea was the best, he carried her off. Bob-Thatls just like you. VVhat you ought to be is something tame like a piano player. But you couldnlt even do that as nicely as that Mme. Taylor that ive heard last week. Beth-If I thought I could play like she does, I wouldn't mind being one. But that's why I don't practice. It makes me sick to hear the teacher play it and then haue to come home and hear myself spoil it. Say can you still hear Reverent Glantz talking Bob-Listen. I think he's talking about that funny little man Swinka. Beth-The one who has such a queer grin? e Bob-Yeh! Dad's sore at him. You know Dad always boasts he's a self- made man. Well last week Dad was boasting to Swinka and he said, Well, Swinka, you can take me as an example of an ambitious American citizen. I am a self-made man-the architect of my own destiny? What did you s-ay? asked Swinka? I say, Swinka, that I'm a self made man. ' Ohh said Swinka stuttering, W-w-while you were m-m-making yourself, why the devil d-d-didn't you p-put some hair on the top of your h-h-head ? And believe me Dad was sore as anything. Beth-fsearching in trunk againj Is he still there? Bob-Yes, I guess we better go down before we catch it. Beth-O-0-h wait a minute. I-Iere's an old newspaper. Let's try and read it Bob-Look! It says 4th reunion of the class of 1925 one of the gala events of the year. Dignitaries of country return as classmates to revive old days and-but gee! here comes Mom, let's beat it. Two children carefully close trunk and cautiously leave room. 82 ln 25 un llll IH Class fpoem Dear class of nineteen-twe11ty-Eve We've reached the parting of the waysg No more within these walls we'll livpe Through care-free hours and studious days.

For our career at high school may be likened to a great war. liar back in the year of our Lord 1921 we entered the tield of battle when as Freshmen we came to Kleriden High School. The girls, inexperienced in the art of camotlauging with long hair to match their faces: the boys, unskilled in the use of their arms with short trousers to contrast their equally long countenances. VVe were a green and unassorted lot, completely at the mercy of the vindi- cative Sophomore: but we were posssessed with a spirit and a tire that time and struggle have long ago dimmed. For we have become passive and docile through weariness. Now we submit without murmur to any invasion: even to being arrayed in caps and gowns. ln those distant days, however, we assailed with might and main anyone who dared to block our path. VVe at once declared war on the unsuspecting Faculty, who received us unaware of the hostile thoughts in our hearts. Time and again they had witnessed the same thing and even the advent of so exceptional a class as l925 caused not a ripple in their life. But soon we began to attract attention. We drove the janitors to insanity opening our lockers and Xlr. Xliller to frenzy closing them. XYe manifested our artistic temperament by decorating the desks: we displayed our oratorical ability by keeping the Library in continual uproar: we showed our school spirit by attending every gathering in the session room. ln brief we attracted so much attention that many were asked to leave. Our heads swelled with knowledge: our chests with importance. Our tresses were shortened and our trousers were lengthened. Sophomore year we were still belligerent. Wle were realizing, however. that the Faculty, through their experience and superior knowledge, held an advantage over us. Our campaign with them had not been so successful. But we had a staunch allygthe lireshmen-before whom we could parade as con- quering heroes. in awe they followed us: we of course being sure tney did not forget their inferiority. Nevertheless we felt more at home. Personalities began to creep out. Vile began to assert ourselvyes. XYe aspired to everything from being first in the lunch room even to getting into the orchestra. Our knowledge increased. We learned that two could meet nicely on the third floor: that in Chapel is as pleasant a place to study as to sleep: that statues are easily broken: that erasers have more than one use: that borrowing and Intermission are synonymus. Indeed we became so famous that we appeared in the VVaterbury Herald and it is even claimed that one of our members in a spirit lacking in proper remorse actually sold an account of the prom to True Stories. S4 1925 S-fn-A-11-G-S-A 1925 .Xs ,luniors we determined to draw the faculty into open warfare. lint now another party declared war. The School Board hegan a relentless hoinhardment upon us. Our ancient and beloved standard was shot away and in its place A new and obnoxious one was suhstituted. .5Xnd while we were staggering under the impact of this attack, martial law was declared. No more could we gamhol in our barracks to the lilting accompaniment t PJ of the gym piano. Frivolties were bannedg pleasures frowned upon. Chating from this treatment and resentful of it, we went on reconnoitering expeditions and found an .Xrmory where we might use our arms. ln moments of foresight. however, we were impressed tg ?l with our coming responsibilities as Seniors. We increased our hank deposit from one to two cents a week. We called meetings and never attended them. XYe voted for pins and ordered rings. Vile tried our hand at running evierytlting and were run by everyone. . In june we took the finals and discovered that not only in Germany had the mark depreciated. And in Senior year with our ranks thinned and scattered, tired and lacking our erstwhile vitality hut sagacious and calculating, we resumed our place in the firing line and also the line to he tired. Hut hefore we were even entrenched, we were shelled with a shower of report cards that hy far surpassed any formei devilish instruments of torture that ingenuity of the Faculty could contrive. Indeed we believe they even surpassed the Faculty itself. With our last defense gone: further resistenee useless and our spirit passive we were glad to call a truce and sign an armistiee. The armistice grew to peace and peace to close friendship and frank appreciation. We assumed an attitude of luunility that increased and mingled with admiration as college hoards drew near. And as the time for our departure approached, severing relationship with the brawling underclassmen. we wrapped ourselves in our melancholy intellectual- ism. The front steps became our refuge from the heinousness of the world and the lnarharities of eraser throwing. Still under martial law, we conclude the final year of our campaign hereg a year that has been in the chronic state of one han after another: a year that has seen cherished traditions shattered and estahlished customs subverted. .Xnd as we look hack upon the past: as we face the intangihle future where in each of us is destined to act his part on the stage of life, we are prone to philo- sophize. XVas it with the Faculty that we struggled or was it with ignorance? ls this not a preliminary skirmish to another great war that looms before us? lVill we not he fighting the same war in college only then really knowing who our enemy is? ,Nnd to go even furtherg is not the real battle of life: the real struggle of existence against the enemy, Ignorance? Isn't it only in understand- ing and in knowledge that battles and wars will cease and peace and friendship will prevail? 85 it it it Ualedictorg lii.lc.xNolQ lllICIlIiI, For Hn' .rI1'1fri111'c ffm! we 1't11'.rv, 'liiinv is -rvf1'1'1 IlltIft'l'lii1IS filled, Om' fo-dilyx and -X'l'.S'fC'l'f1't1-VS Arr' flzf Ivlorlex TUTILII -zvlziflz 'zur Ii11ilc1'. Time stays for no man and soon, we, the members of the class of 1925, shall no longer be lcnown as students of this school. Wie havye spent here four pleas- ant years and have gathered ideals and principles which will aid us in building for the future. Vtlhen we started out, four years ago, on our path to the future, we all had in mind certain goals. Some of us have, this evening. attained our desire while others have not reached their aim. Yet, we have all been inspired with the same spirit and principles of school life. Our to-days and yesterdays have aided us in preparation for the new to-morrow. However, our to-days and yesterdays cannot alone teach us all. Vtfe owe a great debt to all who have helped us in our course. Our teachers have given us the building material, and we have been aided by our mothers and fathers through their efforts to make us willing to apply our material. The School Board and the Superintendent of schools, and our l'rincipal havye all been particularly interested in our welfare. The underclassmen have also lent a willing hand and for them are great opportunities in store-greater, perhaps, than we have experienced. To the taxpayers of Meriden, who have, through their expenditures, helped us to realize this ambition, we are indebted. Hut there are still many more goals to win-many more blocks to be built up, step by step. Our graduation is but a milestone and now there remain innum- erable others to attain. llc have been trained in the past for this very venture into the future. .Xnd now, it is ti1ne to go forth and build on the blocks of our to-days and yesterdays. Wihen we meet at sometimes in reunion, may we all have built upon the ideals and purposes impressed upon us. lint others will soon learn to build in our places, so we must practice now what we have learned. XVe must go forth and say. f'Farewell. 86 X I E X : XY W ,ff I JUNIOR l'I-Ili CLASS OF' 1926 TH I2 CLASS OF 1927 THE CLASS OF 1928 A ,Lol 5-',,!f1a5q9 'EQ'. gy.-j.'.f ,1 .- 3--,,.'xa-w - K ' Q :s?::as'N-iq: Q' 1 - x - l - -1 ,' .v-, ,. y.- .-ff ,x - 1.-.,., .- f.. -,ix lxflzfl-.'-'?.L2f' '-filzil' -af5.?'-j-22,3 21 '-?:153Lj: ' ' ,.1:TQ1Q. if-fi-'., . in-.,-ff-H':':' 'f-.x 1.1:-.'ff'- '7 ' S...

At its head is the Student Council, the governing body of the school. The Council, besides its officers and room representatives elected by the Student General Association at the beginning of each year, consists also of representatives from each important activity and organization. All student matters are acted on by the Council and all student clubs or activities are subject to its authority. Intercourse and exchange of views with the faculty are secured thru the medium of the Board of Control consisting jointly of both students and members of the faculty with the principal of the school acting as president. This year's Student Council, functioning under some- what restricted power, has not only equaled any of its predecessors but has by its own initiative, instigated many new changes and innovations.

The teams enjoyed a fairly suc- cessful season, receiving an even brealc in two interscholastic contests. ln a debate with New Haven Hillhouse High School on the proposed Child Labor Amendment, the Negative team, debating in New Haven, won but the .Xffirmative team, debating at home, lost. ln the annual Danaher Cup Triangular Debate on the question of Recogni- tion of Russia by the United States, the llleriden Negative team, meeting Xliddle- town in that city, lost, while the Aliirmative team, remaining at home, defeated South Manchester. The aggregate of .Xleritlens votes, however, was not suffi- cient to clinch the Danaher Cup. A great deal of credit for the success with which debating has met in the local school is due to the untiring ellorts of Miss 'Florence Fisherdiclq and Miss Hazel Toohey, of the English department.

From the very begin- ning it was excellently done and acted by amateurs, it equalled the success it had attained when played in New York a few years ago. Part of the success is due to Miss Irlorrigan who managed the production in a very capable manner and to Miss ,Xlthea Clark who again coached the play- ers and developed a well polished presentation. The lsrops and l'aints play is always anticipated eagerly and this year ,'Xdam and lival' entirely filled the standard set by preceding classes. The Cast of Characters: James King Corinthea ......,.

This year's Senior team rocle rough shocl over all opposition, and won the championship, in three decisive victories over the Sophomores, Freshmen, and Vluniors. The champions started the season with a 45 to O win over the Sophomores, shut ont the Freshmen by a 19 to 0 score in the second game, and closed the season with a 39 to 7 victory over the juniors. As a reward for their brilliant recorcl the following men received class numerals :-Brenner, Boothhy, Yale, Anderson, Mason, Dowling, Mott, Cook, Carey, Schmelzer, Del Vecchio, Sheparcl, Lewis, Birch, and Kane. 122 1 5 221' x A I Qffm Cfd-S Q Carifam V , ,C THE BASKETBALL TEAM its XX 1 4'3 r '- 'L ,7 Z To Coach Gregory Coffin must go the greater share of praise for the formid- able record made by this year's basketball team. Handicapped by the lack of letter-men and the absence of Captain Altobello as the result of sickness, and forced to play a stiff unbalanced schedule, the Red and Blue court mentor whipped together an aggregation that dealt out defeat to the state's best and fought its way into the Yale lnterscholastic Basketball Tournament. lirratic, would best describe the career of the quintet: from the depths of mediocraey it would rise to dizzy heights and, playing in thrillingly spectacular form, set down the powerful combines of Hartforcl, Bristol and South Klan- ehester. To the local fan the season was a whole lot more than just successful: only once did the team lose the token victory on its own court.

Starting the season with a nucleus of only two veterans Miss Doyle developed an outfit that overwhelmed all opposition with its smooth, harmonious machine-like play. By winning ten games and tieing one the team clinched the championship of Connecticut'and thru its vitcory over Swampscott, Massachusetts, in an intersectional game also acquired the unotlieial championship of Massachusetts. The record of the team, undeniably the best in years, speaks for itself but too much credit cannot be givenlhliss Jessie Doyle who has turned out teams of championship calibre every year and who this year again showed her ability as a coach by deweloping such a powerful aggregation out of practically all inex- perienced material.

If, however, we may use early season indications as a criterion, it should be fairly successful. Four letter men are back while an unpre- cedented munber of candidates are striving' for positions on the team. Coach Coffin, who has had only mediocre luck with baseball nine of past years, will forsake the diamond and turn his attention toward coaching the newly organized track team, a task for which he is most eminently qualihcd.
