An inexpressible amount of credit is due to Miss Heater and to Mr. Jewell for the supervision and management of this magazine. The W. H. S. Annual is the only student publication of the year, due to the demise of the Monitor ' , most of whose staff are now engaged in issuing this production. Next year another attempt will be made to reissue the Monitor. Most of us have felt a gap at the absence of the familiar quarterly, whose editorials, news columns, literary pages, and joke department did much to bring about a greater scholastic interest and a greater enthusi¬ asm for extra-curricular activities. In 1932-33, with the financial, moral, and contributory support of a sufficient percentage of the students, the Monitor will once more take its place among us. Much of the new spirit which pervades the whole school, and especially the graduating class, has been in¬ stilled by the faculty’s interest in the scholastic and ath¬ letic standing of the school. It was largely through their encouragement that this annual was compiled. Let us hope that some of this same spirit may continue with us as alumni of the W. H. S. It is with this end in view that the Year Book is sent forth: that it may serve as a common tie and as a document of High School days for all Wellesley’s “old grads.” ALVIN von AUW, ’33. ' WilLESLEY FREE LIBRARY WHUSLEY, MASS. 02181 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Karol Uroitgli In the passing of Karol Brough, we lost not only a student of exceptional ability but also a young woman whose charming ways and friendly smile endeared her to all who knew her. Though she was born in New Jersey, it was in Wellesley Hills that she lived most of her fourteen and one-half years—years filled with participation in many activities. Field hockey in the fall, basketball in the winter, a prominent part in her Sophomore class play, skating, dancing, music,—all these sheered her interest and widened the circle of her friendships. These friendships, now broken, will always keep vivid the memory of an attractive girl, vivacious, but with an even disposition, helpful, conscientious, thoroughly reliable, a good sport, and a fine friend — Karol Brough. George H. Gilbert. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL We, the members of the class of 1932 of The Wellesley Senior High School affectionately dedicate our Annual to the memory of our classmate Karol Brough Page 5 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL RALPH W. PROCTOR jn£ WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL MESSAGE TO STUDENTS To the Students of Wellesleij Senior High School : This second edition of the Wellesley Senior High School Yearbook presents a comprehensive picture of the activities of the school. No one can even glance through it without cbtaining a realization of the great number jnd variety of these activ¬ ities. It is well to realize also that not one of these exists without some purpose, directly or indirectly contributing to the development of knowledge, skills or attitudes desirable of cultivation by those who desire to become useful citizens of this land. Every Wellesley Senior High School student has a good right to be proud of his school. Under every possible standard of comparison, it ranks among the best schools of the State. In preparing students for college, and fitting others for a use¬ ful place in society, it is excelled by none. The Wellesley School System is widely commended for its efficiency and has always been adequately supported by the Town so that the best of teachers and equipment could be provided, as befits the Town of Wellesley. Any school would be an empty shell, an educational machine only, were it not for the loyalty and spirit of the faculty and pupils. The interest of the Student Council members, the often unappreciated work of the Traffic Squad, the numbers of boys and girls who make up the squads of the various sports, the support of the many extra-curricular activities of the school, all testify that the school spirit is increasing year by year. I should like to call your attention, however, to the way in which I feel your loyalty to the school should be primarily shown. The greatest obligation of any public school student is to take full advantage of the steadily improving educational facilities which the community offers free of charge for every boy and girl. Some¬ one, if not your father, then someone else’s father, is paying taxes for your education. The be.-f way. practically the only way, by which you can show your appreciation is to make good in the fundamental business of going to school, which is to temper and sharpen the fine tool of your mind and your whole personality. A school may be many things, but it is nothing if it be not one above all others—a stadium for in¬ tellectual exercise. No one has yet invented a way to eradicate from education the necessity for hard individual work, and no one ever will. It may be, it ought to be, happy, interesting, stimulating, creative work; but only you, the student, can make it worth the wealth and the effort that go into it. In this year of economy make a vcw that, whatever else happens, you will learn the joy of stretching every one of your mental muscles. To the Seniors, many of whom are to finish their formal education at this time, let me commend one of the criterions laid down by Isocrates, an ancient Greek schoolmaster, in defining an educated man: “He always has the mastery over his pleas¬ ures. and does not give way unduly under misfortune and pain, but behaves in such circumstances with manliness and worthily of the nature which has been given to us.” I wish I could see surer indications that the men and women of today are masters of their pleasures. As in the case of other things the great need is for moderation. One must not forget that the world still progresses and that one’s education must never stop with the formal part of it. C. R. Dooley, personnel manager of the Standard Oil Company of New York, says that today a great many of the applicants who come into his office are not employable. He writes: “Many do not read anything; they are not up-to-date in their own line; they are just drifting around looking for a job. They have had a good time in many frivolous ways during youth and young manhood, and now in middle life they expect society to come to their rescue.

To serve the community best, the needs of the community must be well understood. To obtain this understanding in sufficient degree, it is necessary to analyze with the most careful study all municipal situations in terms of all circumstances pertaining to such situa¬ tions. The public school program in the United States has been criticized somewhat adversely because it gives too little attention to the studies of the problems of democ¬ racy. These problems, of course, have to do with commuxiity life in respect to living conditions as related to economic status. During last year and this year, all peoples in the entire world, it would seem, are suffering more or less from the alleged depression which has taken the form of retrenchment of expenditures because of the lack of funds to meet such expenditures. In the last analysis it may be that the entire situation is involved in the great fear which the public has lest a greater financial catastrophe overtake each community, each individual, and each business enterprise located in the various communities. It is desirable, of course, that the educational program provide some solution, if possible, for these problems. To attain this goal it will be necessary that all of us make a very careful study of a changed civilization influenced by new conditions such as swifter means of communication, and greater opportunities for international ac¬ quaintanceship. A new or der has arrived. A new graduating class of the Wellesley Senior High School is about to go out into different activities of further education, and in some instances, into actual business enterprises. If the solution of the economic question is to be met with understanding, it evidently is incumbent upon high school students, as well as others, to study the problems that are before us, attempting, in common with other people in the community, to discover the answers to the questions presented,—one of the main statements of which is, “Why does a democracy suffer economically, with thousands of people out of work,—people wishing to possess the very articles the superabundance of which in possession of this democracy may be a cause of the depression as we find it?” Truly, it is a large question worthy of the keenest thought of any man or woman who is willing to study it. Upon its successful solution depends the happiness of mankind, wherever he may be living under a demo¬ cratic form of government where the will of the people may be expressed freely by individual balloting on all public questions. Benjamin Franklin exemplified thrift in the early days of colonial democracy. Thomas Jefferson personified freedom from pomp and exultation. William Morris gave the country an unexampled life of personal sacrifice that the country might have financial support during its great economic crisis. Alexander Hamilton bestowed upon this land excellent results from keen, intellectual thinking and high official integrity. George Washington devoted gladly the major years of his life in service to the struggling colonies that those colonies might develop into a successful nation. Abraham Lincoln died as he had lived, in the service of the country which Washington, Franklin, Hamil¬ ton, Jefferson, and others had made possible. Woodrow Wilson led the country into a larger field of international responsibility, giving to the world a memorial of unusual understanding in terms of international peace and guidance. It is left to you students, then, the younger generation, to make the best use of the rich heritage which is yours. Your loyal devotion to the highest interests of American Democracy will continue to maintain unsullied, inviolable, the sacred name of American Democracy in its highest idealism and with its most sacred liberties.

We have not spent three years with them in the close contact which school life neces¬ sitates without becoming fully aware of the debt which we owe to them. They have been not only helpful, but encouraging, not only patient, but understanding. We have come to look upon them as friends, as well as instructors, and we deeply appreciate the interest shown by them in all of our school activities. Therefore, we, the members of the class of 1932. wish to express our most heartfelt gratitude for the efforts of the faculty, for having made our life in Wellesley Senior High School a bright spot in our careers.—one to be remembered throughout our later lives.

Page 27 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ‘ONLY YESTERDAY’ Was it three years ago or three centuries ago that more than a hundred of us burst in on little old Wellesley High? To some of us it may seem four centuries—but let’s not mention any names. Although we were a pretty helpless lot most of us have managed to become Seniors with the help of three excellent principals. Ardmore, Pennsylvania, now claims our first principal, Mr. Gilbert; Mr. Moulton has resumed the superhuman task of trying to drive mathematical nails into ivory heads, and now the reins are in the able hands of Mr. Ralph W. Proctor. There are many outstanding members of the class of whom we are very proud. In his junior year Franklin Parker received a book, “The Adams Family,” awarded by the Harvard Club of Boston to the Junior boy selected by the class and the faculty for outstanding scholarship and leadership. John Moulton, who was awarded the Washington-Franklin medal for the highest marks in History during the Junior year, is the class Valedictorian, and Strafford Wentworth is our Salutatorian. The stars that shone on the athletic field were “Mac” and “Will”—Ruth McNamara won a place in the All Boston Tryouts for field hockey; Fro Georgas succeeded in winning the tennis tournaments four out of five times. Bill McNeil and Ralph Ver- milyea were the outstanding boy athletes, starring in both football and hockey. Last year the dread mid-year and final exams were replaced by six-weeks’ exams —most of us prefer this arrangement, probably because the review covers only six weeks’ work, not the entire year. Social functions which we have enjoyed are our Class Parties, Junior Prom, and Student Council Dance. The Class Parties were instituted in our Junior year and have proved very popular. O ur Junior Prom was a great success—both financially and socially. On Play Night in our Sophomore year we presented “In Frances’s Heart,” in our Junior year—“Trifles.” and as Seniors—“The Trysting Place.” For our Senior Play we did Noel Coward’s “I’ll leave it to You” and I’ll leave it to those who saw it— wasn’t it a great success? Let us congratulate Miss Macomber and her brilliant cast. It is a rather unusual cast that could carry on despite the difficulties imposed by Miss Macomber’s illness and we are proud of such people as Bob Cahill, Ruth Bell, Lilian Brest, Harriett Hanchett, Franklin Parker, Strafford Wentworth, Esther Wildes, Aliee Hamilton, Ruth Cranmer, and Edward Rowe, and grateful also to Miss Bronson who “took over the reins” at the last moment. This year the Monitor has not been issued—some of us think it is due to the de¬ pression. However, the clubs—Orchestra, Classical, Typing, Dramatic, Correspondence. Photography, Crafts, Girl Reserves, History, and Mathematics are still carrying on (without any Seniors). Near the end of our Senior year came the election of commencement committees and they were chosen as follows: Class Will Alice Wilson, Chairman Ruth McNamara Charles Jennings Class Prophecy Robert Munstedt.

Everything was new, the system of periods, the filing, even the manner in which I was addressed, by the business-like last name instead of the more familiar first name. Gradually the surroundings began to grow familiar, new acquaintances were formed, things began to look up.” But there was still a vast difference from Junior High, for I found that I was more on my own. For one thing there were no monitors in the corridors (a custom since changed). More was expected with fewer words of ex¬ pectancy. For me, it required a full half-year to grow into the spirit of high school. Successful mid-year exams, so often criticized, were a great factor in helping me. During that first half of my sophomore year I was growing up mentally to fit the requirements of Senior High. The second half of my sophomore year was very enjoyable to me, much more so than any previous period of my school life. I worked hard, just as hard, if not harder, than any time since. The result was an extremely gratifying group of final exams. That certainly left a good taste in my mouth. But I looked forward to the next year with some misgivings, for the difficulty of the Junior Year had often been expounded to me. However, that year was more en¬ joyable than the Sophomore year. My best marks came in the two subjects I had feared the most. Moreover, I was no longer a baby of the school”; I was a middle classman, with but one class ahead of me. Everything was very familiar; even the teachers were more friendly. The Seniors did not seem so far ahead, nor were they so huge as the Seniors the year before had seemed. And they were a very friendly crowd. I daresay my friendships were more numerous in my Junior Year than in either of the other two years. There were certain things in my Junior Year, the absence of math from my curriculum for instance, that were displeasing to me, but these were entirely personal. At the end of the second year I looked forward to my Senior Year with the satisfaction that two-thirds of my high school career had been creditably completed, and with the belief that the hardest part was yet to come In this belief I was entirely correct. At the beginning of the year it was very hard for me to accustom myself to the situation of a Senior, a member of the class which forms the back¬ bone of a school This may sound strange to my fellow-classmen, but I had been accustomed to seeing older and more advanced pupils around me, and, in a sense, to leaning upon them. My course was much harder than that of the other two (Continued on Page 38) WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL D tv EDUCATION FOR A CHANGING WORLD In discussing this subject there is one fundamental thing we must understand. To pretend that we know how to educate for a changing world without knowing how it is changing is folly. There are only two ways for it to change: either in the knowledge of its physical constitu¬ tion or in the relations of its people. We will pass rapid¬ ly over the physical side as the changes are clearly re¬ corded in the development of science. We live in a world of wonders with its steam, electricity, gas, radio, telephone, telegraph, and other facilities which give us the last word in convenience and comfort. Therefore, a man, to be well educated, must have at least the rudiments of scientific training. As we turn to the other side, the social side, it seems strange to us that among all these wonders there has been so much less moral and social progress. Why should a civilized world continue to tolerate wars which kill innocent men and women in order to show military strength, to defend commercial interests, or to avenge some political insult? Why should any country retard its progress because many of its leaders, for personal reasons, refuse to accept ideas suited to the 20th century? And, why should the United States con¬ tinue to live under such poorly organized industrial conditions that men, women and children are suffering starvation because there is too much food in the country, poorly organized industrial conditions which force the laboring poor to support the idling rich? Surely we have on our hands a social problem demanding the best thought of highly educated citizens. Under the old feudal system it was obvious that education was a luxury not open to the common man; education was divided between the Church and the land- owners. Now because of pressure of modern problems in all countries it is becom¬ ing impossible to limit the educated class. Yet although the ballot has been given to many peoples to elect their representatives, there is one quality lacking in their elections—that of intelligence. It is not kings, nor landlords, nor capitalists who any¬ where really enslave the people. It is their own ignorance. One of America’s great¬ est economic writers, Henry George, an ardent advocate of Free Trade, has painted the following striking picture: “Near the window by which I write a great bull is tethered by a ring in its nose. Grazing ’round and ’round he has wound his rope about the stake until now he stands a close prisoner, tantalized by rich grass he cannot reach, unable even to toss his head to rid him of the flies that cluster on his shoulders. Ever and anon he struggles vainly and then, after pitiful bellowings relapses into silent misery. This great bull, the very type of massive strength, who, because he has not wit enough to discover how he is fettered and how he might be freed, suffers want in sight of plenty and is constantly preyed upon by weaker creatures, seems to me no unfit emblem of the working classes. “In all lands, under all flags, men whose toil creates abounding wealth are pinched by poverty, and as advancing civilization opens wider vistas and awakens new desires, are held down to brutish levels by animal needs. Bitterly conscious of injustice, feeling in their heart of hearts that they were made for more than so narrow a life, they too occasionally struggle and cry out, but until they trace effect to cause, until they see how they are fettered and how they may be freed, their struggles and outcries are as vain as those of the bull. Nay! they are vainer! I shall go out and drive the bull in the way which will untwist his rope, but who shall drive men into freedom?” STRAFFORD WENTWORTH WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Certainly modern instances of increasing intelligence are beginning to show us the way. The rope is slowly unwinding from human slavery to permit human free¬ dom. We can see these changes occurring under our very eyes. Within the year, ilege, and established a government in which all men and women may have their say. In all nations of the World, even in ancient China, common man is rebelling against economic slavery, seeking, though often blundering, his way to freedom. ization like the Greek, which, to whatever height it rose in art, literature, and oratory, was built upon the backs of slaves? Or are we to seek the civilization which was the dream of Jesus of Nazareth, that would banish slave and tyrant from the earth and establish a brotherhood where no man should be oppressed? The edu¬ cation of Greece was for the privileged; and throughout all ages almost to the present, education has been the hand-maiden of the privileged classes. Now, whether we will or not, education is to become increasingly universal. The need to serve man is so great that if our education is to count for anything, everyone must keep intelligently in step with the developing World, be ready to inform its blindness, and to lead it into the pathway of peace. Education to serve the world is the only education that can create a strifeless progress, that can soften the abuse of competi¬ tion, and strengthen the spirit of cooperation. As graduates of a Public High School we have received our education from our Town, our State, our Country. What we have taken from the collective life as individual students we should pay back to the collective life, as men and women. It is only by intelligently using this educational gift which we have so freely received, that we can justify this obligation. Let us do our best in our individual lives to ad¬ vance our beloved country along the lines of social justice and peace so as to realize for America a place of leadership among the free nations of a civilized world. years, and the results (percentile) on the whole not so good. But I was back to my math, and had the additional pleasure of having my own father for a teacher. This Page 38 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL CLASS SONG OF ’32 1 When twilight brings the song of thrushes, When breezes tell of springing flowers, The thought of leaving dear old Wellesley But hallows these last dearest hours. Chorus To Wellesley’s class of thirty-two Sincere and loyal we will be; No richer treasure can we cherish Than me’mries, Wellesley High, of thee. 2 We leave thee but to follow onward The way thy clearest light has shown. Tho’ hard and stern may be the struggle Thy spirit still upholds our own. Chorus 3 And in the wondrous years before us Tho’ we be scattered far and wide, To love thee, shall our joy be ever, To serve thee ever be our pride. Chorus Lilian Brest WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Nrojrrirpr 0 IvI- ' J 1J □ hvl “I’LL LEAVE IT TO YOU” The members of the class of ’32 proved themselves able thespians on the night of April ninth, when they presented Noel Coward’s light comedy, “I’ll Leave It To You.” Mr. Coward’s snappy lines and absurd but quite possible situations appealed greatly to the audience. The play itself is light, but has a not too intrusive moral. It also has an air of sophistication, strictly Mr. Coward’s own. Gay and vigorous, too, the play gave the actors a wonderful chance to cover themselves with glory and a lot of fun playing the “scatterbrained” English family. The ten characters gave opportunity for variety in interpretation, and the clever dialogue maintained interest for players as well as for audience. Mrs. Dermott, pretty, vague, helpless, and her brother Daniel, just as vague and helpless but posses¬ sing a fertile imagination, were charmingly played. The five temperamental but loving children, the posing writer of “really good stuff,” the silent elder brother, the pert musical genius, the devoted school girl, and the one level-headed sister who held this family under control were gaily and understanding portrayed. Into this group came the calculating Mrs. Crombie and her biddable daughter who furnished the complication which so nearly wrecked Uncle Daniel’s standing in the family. Throughout the play, the butler, Griggs, remained dependable. The attractive stage setting, reflecting the mood of the play, attracted much attention and the High School may well be proud of students who can design and execute artistic stage draperies, stairways, windows, and back drops, as well as provide appropriate properties. The entire production was under the capable supervision of Miss Macomber, Miss Bronson, and Miss Lindberg. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL mm.

We must bring home to the younger people that notwithstanding their good times and fun, they can not expect society to take care of them if they ruin their health and neglect their mental training and fail to appreciate their responsibility for their own future.” It is no longer possible to go through life in the United States without think¬ ing very deeply. That time is past. Conditions which the graduates of our schools will have to face in the next ten years will compel them to think. When you grad¬ uate from high school or college you will be fortunate if you can find a position but you will have accumulated a record and the few positions that will be open will go to those who have shown their ability to make the most of their opportunities.

WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL JUNIOR Page 45 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 46 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in September, 1930, the members of the class of 1933 came up to the Senior High School from the Alice Phillips School. Very quickly members of our class became enrolled in athletics and in the other organizations of the school. This fall the following officers were elected: Paul Welch President Eleanor Gebelein Vice President Richard Lyons Treasurer Robert Knapp Secretary Many of our classmates have shown us their athletic ability on the football field, basketball floor, and now on the baseball dia¬ mond. The Junior Prom was a marvelous success and the mem¬ bers of the school are greatly indebted to the officers and their committee for the splendid time everyone had. We shall be satis¬ fied if we have as successful a year in 1932-1933 as we have had this past school season. s {g gfe SEi a a Ei Page 47 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Alvin Anderson Vera Balboni Sadie Bigley Elizabeth Blarney David Bowles Maynard Bryant Marilyn Bryant James Callahan Louis Canoni Mary Carpenter Robert Carroll Carlo Cassoli Norma Colclough Jerry Connolly Arthur Cooley Medeo Cristofori George Donahue M.

However, soon falling into the swing of the new school’s activities, their first action was to elect the following officers: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Richard Mason Martin Whelan Barbara Patterson Frances Blakeslee The first social event sponsored by the class was a tremendous success. The Sophomore Class Party was held on Hallowe’en and a large proportion of the class attended this. On “Play Night’’ the class demonstrated its ability to act by equalling the productions of the othe r classes both in humorous and constructive acting. Both the boys and girls of the class have eagerly supported the sports program. Many of the “stars” of the various teams have come from the class of 1934. On the whole we feel that the class has an exceedingly bright future and it is expected to do bigger and better things as it pro¬ gresses through its High School career.

HERBERT SNOW MR. JAMES M. ROBERTSON Although the spirit of the individual players on any team is of prime importance, yet we must not forget to give due credit to those responsible for instilling such spirit into the players and for instructing them in the plays of the game. Wellesley Senior High School is very fortunate to have three capable coaches, Miss Winnifred Bailey, in charge of girls’ sports, and Mr. Herbert Snow and Mr. James M. Robertson, in charge of the boys’ activities. The girls’ season has been satisfactorily conducted by Miss Bailey and her own fairness and loyalty to school ideals has won for her the admiration an d respect of the entire student body. The girls have been taught to meet victory easily, defeat graciously, and to act as examples of perfect girlhood at all times The football, basketball, and track teams have been coached by Mr. Snow. We can all testify as to his efficiency and to the good will he has attained from the pupils by the appreciation felt for his sure reorganization of a rapidly weakening football team and for the Successful way he carried through the basketball season. Mr. Robertson has thoroughly trained the ice hockey and baseball teams. The number of victories and the excellent team spirit demonstrated by the members of his teams, whether in victory or in defeat, illustrates that he has pointed out to his boys the invaluable lesson of rare sportsmanship as well as the fairest and best way in which to win a game. With such coaches and with the large numbers of fine under¬ graduate material, Wellesley High School looks forward to an unusually successful 1932-33 season. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL FOOTBALL To the 1932 Football team belongs a great deal of credit for faithful practice and excellent spirit. With a heavy but exceedingly inexperienced team Wellesley High School seemed well prepared to carry out its nine-game schedule, but the Massachu¬ setts High School Athletic Association rules caused the loss of several upperclassmen and the team finished the season with mediocre success. We would have the student body realize, however, that often defeats are only forerunners of victory, and that not the number of victories is significant but rather the way in which the game is played, which so affects our endeavors in other fields of adventure. We present this year’s lettermen who fought so gallantly for the school: Ralph Vermilyea, Captain Philip Wentworth Manuel Anderson Paul Nahass Malcolm Stewart Richard Mulcahy Alvin Anderson Medio Cristofori David Bowles Sam Sicchio, Manager Robert Zoletti Charles Plouffe Willard McNeil Horace Taylor Austin McCourt John Marenghi Thomas Slaman Donald McNeil Coach—HERBERT SNOW Asst. Coach—JAMES M. ROBERTSON Manager—S. SICCHIO Asst. Manager—G. DONAHUE Page 55 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 56 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL HOCKEY The 1932 Wellesley High School Hockey Team, having won eleven of its twelve games, ended the season with the best record of any of the athletic teams this year or for many previous years. The fine cooperative spirit exhibited by the defensive trio, Willard McNeil, captain, Franklin Parker, and Robert Nyland, was responsible for many of the low score victories, whereas the combination play and the offensive tactics of Forester Mather, Eugene Lockhart, and Paul Welch led to the netting of many goals. The second offensive line, comp osed of Monroe Graves, Edward Rowe, and Melvin Stone, proved a capable relief for the first line and carried on their success in a most efficient manner. Coach Robertson and the members of the hockey team wish to thank the student body for the excellent support they gave to the team, and they feel that the enjoyable skating party at the arena before the last game of the year was a fitting close to an unusually successful season. The following boys were awarded letters for their excellent team play: Willard McNeil, Captain Franklin Parker Robert Nyland Edwavd Rowe Monroe Graves Paul Welch Forester Mather Eugene Lockhart George Donahue, Manager Coach—JAMES M. ROBERTSON Manager—GEORGE DONAHUE WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL BASKETBALL The finest exhibition of basketball in recent years was given by the successful and deservedly popular team of 1932 under the direction of Coach Herbert Snow. Ten of the sixteen games played were won in convincing style and so potent was the defense that only two teams were able to penetrate it. The members of the team were awarded silver basketballs by Mr. P. H. Wentworth in recognition of their exploits. To the following players we pay our respects and wish them higher honors and letters in the greater fields of the future: Philip Wentworth, Captain Richard Mulcahy William Crowe Thomas Duffy Edward Skahill Donald McNeil Samuel Sicchio, Manager Coach—HERBERT SNOW Manager—SAMUEL SICCHIO WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL BASEBALL )1 The coming of Sprang means to the American people the arrival of the ever popular baseball game, and the boys of Wellesley Senior High School responded in goodly numbers to the call of Coach Robertson for the “High School Nine. The 1932 baseball team, in spite of the fact that it gives promise of a successful season, is decidedly handicapped by the loss of Captain-elect, Ralph Vermilyea, a star third baseman, and two unusually fine catchers, Austin McCourt and Louis Villa. By a vote of last year’s lettermen, Willard McNeil was elected to the position of captain left vacant by Ralph Vermilyea. After many trials and experiments in the filling of the various positions, the following boys, at the time of writing this, appear to have the advantage: catcher, Willard McNeil; first base, Richard Mulcahy; second base, Philip Wentworth; third base, Paul Nahass or Lemuel Hunter; short stop, Paul Welch , left field, Robert Pohl or LeBaron Estabrook; center field, Donald McNeil; right field, Charles Jennings; and pitchers, Eugene Lockhart, Forester Mather, Paul Welch, Charles Jennings and Willard McNeil. Coach—JAMES M. ROBERTSON Manager—GEORGE DONAHUE WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TRACK Although the Track team has not yet been seen in action as this book goes to press, we are looking forward to a very successful year. With R. Moulton, T. Duffy, G. Lupien and R. Knapp four fast dash men; L. Foster, F. Parker, F. Willey, T. Duffy, R. Carmichael at the high jump; R. Carrol, J. Bryant : R. Zoletti and D. Bowles at the 880 yard; J. Moulton, R. Carmichael, A. Fisher, and S. Harunk at the 440 and J. Moulton, C. Plouffe, F Parkei and R. Zoletti at the shot put, it is expected that the Iracksters will enjoy victories at the cost of their opponents. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE TENNIS TEAM The Tennis team has already played one match,—with Natick. Wellesley tri¬ umphed by a score of 4 to 1. Parker played No. 1 man, Mather No. 2, Monahon No. 3, and Cranmer No. 4. The matches so far scheduled are May 11th at Newton, May 13th a return match with Natick at Wellesley, May 17th Beacon at Wellesley, Ma,y 25th at Norwood, and June 14th Norwood at Wellesley. With Parker and Mather, the winners of the Boys’ Tournament, and with the two sophomores, Monahon and Cranmer, striving to hold No. 3 and No. 4 places against the competition of the rest of the team, we look forward to more victories and a very successful season. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL BASKETBALL Nv ; The Basketball Season, although not as successful on the scoring end as might have been wished, was one of the best we have ever had when checked for enjoyment, sportsmanship, and numbers participating. Our Basketball Season extended over a three months’ period, the first two months of which were given to class games, both inter-class and with other schools. The Seniors were the winners in the Inter-Class Games. The class season was followed by the selection of a Varsity Squad of twenty-one girls. During the entire season the following schools were played: Alumnae Lexington Ashland Natick Cambridge Needham Framingham Watertown Following are the letter girls. Captain Alice Wilson—“Willy” was star at guard, highest at the jump, and a fast forward—a most versatile and skilled player, and a great captain. Mary Carpenter—Mary was our most skilled forward but she proved herself to be a star in center as well. She is captain-elect. Ephrosyne Georgas—“Fro” was called on for both guard and side center and was dependable in both positions. She also was manager. Mary Hodges—“May” was a sub guard and was a good one. Priscilla Moore—“Pussy” was a forward and had the distinction of being the only Sophomore to get her letter. (Continued on Page 67) n T y. iOK Page 62 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Twenty-three girls comprise this year’s baseball squad. Kathleen Ryan is Captain and Marjorie Pratt and Bethy Anderson are Managers. The following girls show exceptional promise and give indication that 1932 will see a successful baseball team: Captain Kathleen Ryan—“Kassie” is a star catcher and, from her position, she is able to direct the team to its best advantage. Bethy Anderson—Bethy shows excellent promise as a baseman and also seems capable of hitting “clean-up” wallops. Sadie Bigley—Sadie is all set to continue her good work at short stop. Mary Carpenter—Mary is a player whose fielding and hitting ability makes her valuable either as pitcher or infielder. Ephrosyne Georgas—“Pro,” with her steadiness and sureness, makes a strong baseman. Louise Giovanella—Louise has improved a great deal in her pitching and continues to be one of the best and most reliable batters. Priscilla Moore—“Pussy” will fit nicely as either infielder or outfielder. Ruth McNamara—“Mac” has outstanding qualities as a pitcher and is a heavy batter. Alice Wilson—“Will” will make a good baseman or outfielder and is able to hit. Up to this time games have been arranged with Melrose, Arlington, Watertown, and Framingham. Page 63 ife.-rfrs tfte nsrsa t? rrfrsa-vfc- sjrasas WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TENNIS This is only the second year that the Wellesley High School has fostered a Girls ' Tennis Team. However, tournaments have been held many times. The team this year is made up of ten members: Bethy Anderson Constance Kavanagh Isabel Callan Margaret McLean Grace Crosby Priscilla Moore Eleanor Gebelein Margery Pratt Ephrosyne Georgas Rachel Whittemore Last fall Constance Kavanagh and “Fro” Georgas played in the finals with “Fro” winning. “Fro“’ has won the cup twice in succession and the third time will be allowed to keep it. An exceedingly interesting spring tournament is in full swing with the following games scheduled to be played: Concord Brookline Needham Watertown WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TRACK The 1932 Track Season is most unusual. All but two of the records below have been broken. At the beginning of the season the records stood as follows: Dash—6.2 seconds. Ernestine Ryan ’29 Cynthia Wentworth ’31 Jeannie Brattin ’30 Kathleen Ryan ’32 Winnifred Feeney ’30 Marian Knight ’33 Kathleen Knight ’30 Margaret McLean ’33 Marian Lundberg ’30 High Jump—4 feet, 5V6 inches—Marguerite Johnson 1929 Basketball Throw—74 feet, 4 inches—“Fro’ 1 Georgas 1929 Baseball Throw—166 feet, 6 inches—Ruth McNamara 1929 Broad Jump—7 feet, 11V6 inches—Cynthia Wentworth 1931 The new records are: High Jump—4 feet, 15 V6 inches—Priscilla Moore 1932 Baseball Throw—181 feet—Ruth McNamara 1932 Basketball Throw—74 feet, 5 inches—Ruth McNamara 1932 The broad jump has been threatened by Irene Fisher with the jump 7 feet, 10 inches. We do not meet with other schools in Track meets but this year we are having a Spring Field Day, an Inter-Class Track meet. This year’s Track Captain is “Fro” Georgas. “Pussy” Moore and Norma Colclough are managers. E j o Page 65 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 66 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL fiS FIELD HOCKEY The Field Hockey Season was by far the most successful one that Wellesley ever experienced. The team played in a league of ten schools and finished in a tie for second place. The following girls received letters: Captain Ruth McNamara—“Mac” with her excellent leadership, placement in the “All Boston Team,” and fine playing at all times spurred the team on to success. Bethy Anderson—Bethy had the distinction of being the only “soph” on the team. She played left half. Lilian Brest—“Lilly,” sent to the “All Boston Tryouts,” was one of the fastest full backs we have ever had on the team. Mary Carpenter—It is unusual when a defense player can carry her skill into a forward position. Mary “filled the bill.” Ephrosyne Georgas—“Fro” at center half was the key to the defense and never failed in the support of the forward line on attack. Allee Hamilton—Allee was our capable goalie. Constance Kavanagh—“Bunny” was a speedy half back who always gave good support to the forward line. Margery Pratt—“Marge” was a difficult opponent and a dependable back defense man. Priscilla Proctor—“Peggy” could always be depended upon to obtain and center the ball. Kathleen Ryan—“Kassie” at right inside accounted for many scoring shots. Alice Wilson—“Will” at center forward was high scorer and in the “All Boston Tryouts” came through to the finals. Norma Colclough was a most efficient manager and was captain of the second team. Gladys Forsberg, as scorer, and Theresa Gubellini, as manager, deserve a great deal of credit because of their dependability and good sportsmanship. The following girls deserve recognition: Grace Crosby, Eleanor Gebelein, captain- elect, Margaret McLean, Priscilla Moore, Marie Paltrineri, and Phyllis Smith. BASKETBALL (Continued from Page 62) Ruth McNamara and Kathleen Ryan—“Mac” and “Kassie” were truly a team at forward. They made most of the scores of the season. “Mac” was Senior Class Captain. Priscilla Proctor—“Peggy” was a flashy side center and broke up many opponents ' plays through center territory. Marjorie Pratt—“Marge” was a dependable jump center and displayed unusual team work with her side center. As scorers and timers Eloise Hodges, Gladys Forsberg, and Gertrude Lincoln were most efficient. Honorable mention should be given to the following:— Bethy Anderson—Sophomore Captain June Clement Norma Colclough—Junior Co-Captain and Assistant Manager June Collins Mary Guernsey Claire Johnson Margaret McLean Marjorie Taylor WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of the officers of the three cla-sses, a representa¬ tive from each home room, and delegates from major organizations in the school. The Council has considered such matters as the traffic officers, the advisability of offering letters for other than athletic honors, and has sent two members to the conference of Student Councils of Massachusetts in Springfield. April 29t.h the Council sponsored a very successful dance. About seventy-five couples attended and enjoyed the music of the Harvard Gold Coast Orchestra. The officers of the Council are: Franklin Parker. President Paul Welch. Vice-President Brenda Jenkins, Recording Secretary Lemuel Hunter, Corresponding Secretary Members: Bethy Anderson, Thomas Cranmer, Mary Caroline Jenks, Arthur Monahon, Phillip Wentworth.

Richard Mason, Brenda Jenkins, Alvin von Auw, Kathleen Ryan. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL HONOR SOCIETY The membership of the Honor Society includes all those attaining 80% or above in all subjects, and 90% or above in two subjects for two consecutive marking periods. Each member attaining this grade received a distinctive Honor Society pin. John Moulton is the Valedictorian, and Strafford Wentworth is the Salutatonan of the graduating class. The members of the Society are: Seniors: Lilian Brest. Eleanor Butler Jchn Moulton Juniors: Vera Balboni Mary Feldman Jean Horton Lemuel Hunter Elsie Randall Katherine Sanford Alvin von Auw Louise Magliozzi Sophomores: Leo Calzini Alfred Carroll John Cranmer Mary Guernsey Everett Mills Esther Trubiani Dora Wallace Grace Crosby WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL CORRESPONDENCE CLUB Letters and Stamps! The office has been thoroughly swamped by mail sent from all sections of the world to the various members of this enterprising club. The club was formed by Mr. James M. Robertson with a definite purpose in mind; namely, to acquaint students with the customs and manners of other countries and races of people and with the provincialisms and localisms of our own countrymen. But there is more to the club than this! There are snapshots of the various people they correspond with, snapshots of numerous historical and non-historical points of interest, and all kinds of quaint invitations and ideas of many and far-away people. Then there are the days when the club members enjoy vivid and picturesque talks of strangers and of people of local fame. Finally, there is the stamp-book which is large enough to hold sample stamps collected this year and likewise any stamps that may be collected for many years hence. Because the club is a newly formed one, the members of the group took extreme care in the selection of their officers, many of whom are undergraduates. It was felt that such a procedure would insure the progress of the club for the next few years. The officers are: President: Marie Paltrineri Vice-President: Agnes McCarthy Secretary: Edna MacBey Treasurer: Estella Anderson Iehse?! o Page 71 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL c sl HI-Y CLUB “To create, maintain, and extend high ideals of Christian character throughout the school and community.’ President—Franklin Willey Vice-President—Ralph Vermilyea Secretary—Franklin Parker Treasurer—George Linehan Faculty Adviser—Walter S. Adams Due to the absence of clubs from the regular school curriculum during the first half-year, the activities of the Hi-Y have been somewhat curtailed. Nevertheless, we managed to have several enjoyable meetings at Newtcn and we feel that the time so spent has certainly been worth while. The club had charge of selling programs at the Needham game on Thanksgiving Day and many of its members have been engaged in numerous school activities. Most of the twenty-seven members will graduate this year but they hope that the club may continue as worthwhile and as enjoyable as they found it to be.

W. C. A., is now finishing its third year as one of the clubs of the Wellesley Senior High School. During that time the membership has gradually increased until now we have twenty-eight members. This year we met our new adviser, Miss Higgins, and to her we extend our heartiest thanks for the capable way in which she has carried us forward this year. We have had many good times throughout the year, a hike to Cathedral Pines, a benefit bridge party, the proceeds of which will send two girls to camp this summer, and meetings every week at school for undergraduates and every other week at various homes for everybody. In April we successfully presented the play “Thanks Awfully” at the Boston Y. W. C. A. Those taking part were: “Fro” Georgas, Ruth Portmore, “Kassv” Ryan. Peggy Proctor, “Peg” McLean, Ruth Manning, Marion Knight, Betty Schofield, Betty Morrison, Gladys Forsberg, Celia Lyons, and Beatrice Irving. We are represented in the Boston Inter-Club Council by Kathleen Ryan and Ephrosyne Georgas. “Fro” is Vice-President of that organization. Besides our many social activities, we have done our bit of charity work. We sent, presents to Indian children, gave one Thanksgiving basket and two Christmas baskets to certain needy families of Wellesley. It is the ambition of every Girl Reserve to win an Honor Ring. Five members now proudly possess them: Kathleen Ryan, Rose Pilibosian, Mary Malaguti, Ethel McCullough, and Thelma Bryant. This year Ephrosyne Georgas, Elizabeth Morrison, and Beatrice Irving have proved themselves worthy of this ensign. Page 73 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL DRAMATIC CLUB This year the Sophomore and Junior Dramatic Clubs are under the capable direc¬ tion of Miss Alice Macomber. Our meetings are held each week in Room 12. We have an enrollment of twenty-two members and it is interesting to note that the boys far out-number the girls. Leo Armitage is President, Claire Johnson is Vice-President, Roderick Hamilton is Treasurer, and Carolyn Harmon is Secretary. A program committee consisting of Charlotte Nickerson, Grace Crosby, and Elizabeth McBee selected the play, “Not Quite a Goose,” which was presented in assembly, May twentieth. Besides tryouts for our assembly play, our time is occupied in the reading of short one-act plays and in discussions on the theatre and the art of make-up. Thus the dramatic club members have spent a most profitable and interesting year. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ARTS AND CRAFTS The Arts and Crafts Club is far more than its name suggests. We do not merely draw or sketch beautiful things but we make many useful articles which we display with pride. We are eleven in number, and each of us is working on some individual project. The following are our officers: President—Priscilla Moore Secretary-Treasurer—Ba rbette Miller Miss Helen Lindberg, the instructor, is ready at all times to give helpful sugges¬ tions and she is ever offering us plenty of praise and encouragement. In the outer room you may see industrious workers, sketching, tooling leather, or carefully making rugs. In the inside room you may see some of us hammering, sawing, filing, or running machines. In the small cabinet by the door there is a collection of articles that we have made. There are metal bowls, ash-trays, and bracelets. Designed book-ends and desk sets are surrounded by leather belts and purses. Around the walls are drawings, charcoal sketches, and designs. All of these show the result of conscientious labor that is spent and enjoyed by the members of the Art Club. Page 75 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ORCHESTRA The orchestra has had a very successful season as far as membership and prog¬ ress are concerned. Starting at- the beginning of the year with twenty-two members, we met every chorus period on Tuesdays and played at assemblies on Fridays. When clubs took the place of the chorus, we continued to meet on Tuesdays. Under the able direction of Mr. Perry, the orchestra has been molded from a poorly balanced band, as it were. The wind section was out of proportion to the strings and even now we have about half as many violins as we need to balance the brass section. In spite of that great handicap, Mr, Perry has succeeded in securing just the right music for our orchestra. We have had marches for assembly, waltzes for special performances, and masterpieces of opera for good, hard work. Robert Munstedt started something new by composing short numbers for the orchestra. One of these, “Ravioli,” was played for the first time in public assembly. Right now, we are preparing for the graduation exercises. You’ll be surprised at our improvement. With Mr. Perry directing, we’ll sound like Boston Symphony under Dr. Serge Koussevitsky. Drop in on us sometime and see! WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL JLU 1DJ01- HARMONY This past year has seen the advent of a new course of study, Harmony. This subject under the direction of Mr. Perry is addressed to students who are looking forward to music as a profession as well as to those who wish a cultural experience in the h armonic content of music. It leads the student to an organized consciousness of the harmonic elements of simple music and to the ability to think tones in com¬ bination. The structure of melodies is analyzed as an aid in constructing original compositions. Although the class this year has been small, now that interest has been aroused a larger class is anticipated for the coming year. -ia mm Page 77 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, under the supervision of Mr. Leon Ryther. has been hold¬ ing regular meetings in Room 16. We have tried to learn something about developing, printing, blueprinting, enlarging, gccd picture taking, and photography in general. We have held two prize contests both cf which have been won by Karl Pearson. Robert Munstedt, Dana Lowell, and other clever photographers have given interesting illustrated lectures which have been of great benefit to us. The officers are: President—L. Foster Secretary—L. Nickerson § Page 78 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL H. H. Coburn Industrial Arts Instructor Here is a representative group of our future Automobile, Aeronautical, and Electrical Engineers. It gives one con¬ fidence in our future electrical and transportation prob¬ lems to observe these alert and keen eyed young men al¬ ready familiar with the science of production, control, and measurements of POWER. Electrical instruments, meters, motors, lamps, batter¬ ies, switches, telephones, radios, airplane propellers, rud¬ ders, elevators, gasoline engines, spark coils, ignition sys¬ tems,—all important factors in the fascinating industry— TRANSPORTATION—are here represented. Page 79 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL t LrA THE CLASSICAL CLUB The Classical Club, under the leadership of Mr. John P. Jewell of the Latin De¬ partment, has had a most successful season. The members of the club prepare papers for each meeting dealing with the life of the ancient Roman. Some of the most in¬ teresting topics were: Roman Education, Roman Slaves, and Roman Literature. The club has also heard several book reviews of Roman stories and has given considerable attention to Roman art, particularly to the Roman buildings, statues, and coins. The officers of the club are: President—Thomas Adams Vice-President—Brenda Jenkins Secretary—Alvin von Auw Treasurer—Robert Shaw r ' lVoXv i n i i m . 4 m uj.)A! jJLD U U K Page 80 ifc.. ±ZJ LL WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE HISTORY CLUB The History Club is in charge of Mr. Upham and meets every Tuesday morning in Pccm two. The officers of the club a e: Paul Welch, President; William Hewitt, Vice-President; Frank Fair, Secretary; and Richard Lyons. Treasurer. The activities of the club are based mainly on historical and current events. Each week the facts and history of some current event are presented by Mr. Upham. The subject is then opened for discussion to the members of the club. Some of the subjects that have been discussed are: “United States in China,” “Sales Tax.” “Prohibition,” and “England’s Trouble with Ireland.” The members of the club have all benefited greatly by the information obtained from these meetings. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SSEi THE CHESS CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Pulver, the members of the Chess Club strive to become more proficient in the science and technique of that fascinating game. During the meetings the members pair off and play the game, whose mysteries are known only to the initiated. The Club will perhaps sponsor a tournament to decide the Chess championship of the school. The members of the Club are: Horace Taylor, Melvin Stone, Rex Vermilyea, Herbert Spurr, Harris Shelley, Howard Burgs, Julia Strider, June Ulrich, Doris Holder. Harriett Wallace. William Graves, Stanley Parker, Louise Hannah, Weston Oyler. Page 82 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE TRAFFIC SQUAD Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, National Guard, and Girl Reserves are represented here! They are always on duty, whenever it calls, during lunch hour, intermission, play nights, and all evening functions. This loyal group of officers has made the ob¬ servance of school regulations more palatable by suggestion than by force. Their spirit of cooperation and consideration for others has created a more pleasing at¬ mosphere than is found in many schools. THE ENGINEERS’ CLUB The purpose of the Engineers’ Club is to promote a better understanding of ele¬ mentary engineering. The officers of the club are: John Cranmer, President, and Martin Whelan. Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. W. S. Adams, teacher of the Mathematics department, has charge of the club. The solution of simple problems involving the use of the slide rule is one of the many phases which we take up during club meet¬ ings. We also find time for various mathematical games and recreations. n $ m. 1 I I rV _ « .•ill ix Page 83 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL n� - skrv P y fdJ QEU- f tVO IPV ' A iTATPR M05T BE PRACTICING TO UffPEND ifffiRSELP iH4 WCt ' AtR- -- M W HOr PICTVtee TAKEN ON S7T PATRICK ' S DAY, SHOdJtNb HAIR DECORATIONS OF PE Y PROCTOR AND eeRTIS SEA KOVA JoE L-UPlEM MlfrHT VET 6ET Jg A SOOD POSTURE MEOA MORRIS CAMPBELL SAYS HG never eers.

Now that Straff Wentworth has his Ford (note: Herman doesn’t use “car” in reference to said vehicle) back, Herman can look to see it parked on Brook Street—incidentally the location of Cranmer domicile and, needless to say, Ruth is a member of said household .... John Crankshaw’s coming to school is a reminder to Herman of the saying: “Here today, gone tomorrow.” It he were in school one full week, what would happen? Please inform Herman ... It is obvious to Herman that Miss Neves calling the Senior Boys, “Professors” must be taken with a proverbial grain of salt. She either considers them a group of talented young men or else she thinks lowly of the title of “professors” . . . Herman understands that Mr. Upham has a liking for spinach and a special weakness for dandelions. Bring on your garlic.Herman now sets down the one famous expression of teachers upon examining a student’s text book: “You’re planning to buy this book, aren’t you?” .... Another famous expression—this time of the Seniors: “You’re going to give me your picture, aren’t you?” .... Herman notes that when Bob Cahill gets a haircut, he gets it the worst way—both literally and figuratively . . . .You wouldn’t be knocking Her¬ man over with a feather if you told him that chalk had been put on the food market with “Daddy” Johnson holding full stocks. (Patent pending) . . . Herman lets out the secret for Allee, “I want to be called Drummie Hamilton’s good marks—consistent energy on the part of homeroom boyfriends” ... By the way, Herman wants to know who those Sopranos are in the Senior Bass Section—have they bought their white dresses and white ribbons? .... Herman learns that Sammy Gordon and Dexter Boyson axe the only living rivals of the Mills Brothers—at least that’s what Sam says .... Herman has been told that Gordon Vanderwarker (“Vandy” to you) is capable stage assistant—he knows the difference between a hammer and saw—those are necessary requirements .... Having outspoken his share, Herman closes with rio more adieu than— Signed, Herman.
