WELLESLEY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 19 3 3 Under the supervision of The Year Book Committee WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 2 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL sa a vm?, n n vm?, n msgass FOREWORD During our twelve years or more of education, we have been trained for a life of competition—competition with our fellow men—competition among nations. It seems we live in a world in which it has become entirely ethical to consign to the depths below our fellow-climbers on the ladder to success. Our whole social system seems to have degenerated into a mad and vulgar scramble for gold. Under cover of fine phrases, speakers on vocational guid¬ ance have prepared us for this competition which they have ennobled. They have prepared us for the bitter struggle for jobs. They have recommended that we continue our education that we might gain success at the expense of our less literate and less fortunate but none the less deserving friends. This competition has entered into international rela¬ tions. The imperialist nations of the world are ever wrangling for foreign markets, ever disputing over colonies, ever suppressing and vulgarizing once happy natives in the search for raw materials. This trade rivalry has led to the construction of armies and navies for the protection of merchant marine and interests abroad. Witness the United States in Central America, Japan in Manchuoko, Belgium in Africa, France in the East Indies, England in India, etc., etc., etc. It is a horrid picture—this eternal strife, personal and international. It has brought us all to the brink of the pit. No one will deny that it is this blind and stupidly cruel competitive system that has brought us to this ravine in business charts, or, to speak more to the point, this crack in a system that has had its day and has become as oppres¬ sive as the feudal system. It is awful to think of this inane want among plenty and to compare the super-filled figures of “successful men” with the shuffling figure and the gaunt shadowy face of the real “forgotten man ' It is this condition that we must face. It is evidently a wrong condition. Many elements of the student life of the world have sought remedies and have formulated plans for a saner world. Militant pacifism has appeared. More and more young men and young women have turned to the left (radical) in their search for a sensible economic system. And who will say they are wrong? You may not realize it but most of the members of our graduating class will have the right to vote in the next presidential election. There is no compromise; there are but two paths, one to distinction, the other to a true co-operative and brotherly future. It will be ours to choose and may God help us! ALVIN von AUW.

For a little man he certainly can give the opponents a terrific pounding. It’s a shame to see Natick hold his interest so. Vera Balboni 85 Twitchell Street In the eyes of the public Vera is a very quiet and shy Miss, but the coat room on the second floor will never fnrget her con¬ tagious giggle—for when Vera laughs, everyone else laughs, too. Geraldine Bissell 15 Belair Road Every time “Lira” hears the word “auc¬ tion” there’s no hope for us. If she ' s ever missing, you’ll find her in some barn bidding on a cow or an old chair. Marilyn Bryant 378 Weston Road Marilyn is to be remembered by her quiet and gentle manners, but living on Weston Road we know that there is another side to her ! Maynard Bryant 3 78 Weston Road We are sure that some day we shall see Maynard on the screen. He doesn’t work at the Community Playhouse for nothing. Mary Carpenter 162 Oakland Street If you hear a fearful noise, be calm. It ' s only Mary with her Hudson. Resi les be¬ ing ever ready to oiler transportation for various athletic teams, she is herself a very talented sportswoman. What we’re thankful for is that she ' s only one of a long line of Carpenters, WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Robert Carroll 19 Hastings Road They say “Bob” drank a lot of milk de¬ livering papers and maybe that explains his strength. He never says much and sometimes he is as contrary as a mule. Next to me (?), he is the worst speller in the class ; however, “Bob” is a likable bozo and will make his mark with Babson. Carlo Cassoli 96 Twitchell Street Cassoli likes to fool in class, outside, and everywhere, and perhaps he’s only foolin’ when he tears around the corner-;. Does he know the shoe business? Ask Burge. Norma Colclough 27 Boulevard Road Norma and athletics go hand in hand, but while she is enjoying herself to the utmo-t, Norma has a way of keeping up in her studies which is not only to her advantage but to Monsieur Pulver’s delight. Jerry Connolly 46 Walnut Street Jerry’s uiet disposition is recognized by everyone around school but sometimes “still waters run deep. Medeo Cristcfori 59 Smith Street Medeo is a second Joe Savoldi and claims that he has the whole student body under his control due to his brutal power. George Donahue -3 Walnut Street Few sports have been able to get along for the past few years without George to manage them, and we have recently dis¬ covered that he can act as well as manage. Page 12 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ' i n U u U IV • i John Duffy 15 Russell Road ihe c ass midget! John is Mr. Snow’s chief aid in basketball and Mr. Jewell’s information bureau in Latin. He has besieged everyone for the last few months with, “Got your glossy print yst ?” Hudson Eldridge 1 Lawrence Road Hudson breaks the spee d limit in his “Baby Austin” a3 he passes the White hou-e. LcBaron Estabrooks 544 Washington St. A star in three sports ! We have been obliged to get along without him lately because of his excellence as a mechanic. Mary Feldman 2 Burke’s Lane Mary has music in her eyes, music in her fingers, and music in her soul ! At every school entertainment Mary was on the stool behind the piano. In her spare time, Majy is to be heard playing “When Willie comes marching home.” When she isn’t playing it, Willie is already there. Margaret Fleniintr In and about the school Margaret has very seldom raised her voice above a whisper- get her on a stage and see her reach high C with as much strain as is shown by a professional prima donna. Joseph Foote Washington Street “Senator” Joe Foote, the Huey Long of Wellesley High School, can sling the ice¬ cream at Sunshine Dairy. He and Mr. Goodnough get along like Art Shires and the Braves, but Joe’s going to make a nice Mayor Curley some day, and if he’s good he will be able to swing the banana vote in Porto Rico. Page 13 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Gladys Forsberg 6 Harvard Street Talk, talk, talking: all the time! And I gather it s worth hearing from the ex¬ pressions on the faces of Marian, Phyllis, and Hugh, and Doris, and Margaret, and you, and you, and you ! Leonard Foster 15 Pine Way Senior Class President (but Rusty scoffs at the statement that Bud is a senior). A high-jumper in both basketball and track, and humor ( ?) editor of the “Monitor.” The bane of Miss Costello ' s existence, to say nothing of the rest of the faculty. Bud goes blithely on accepting or disputing according to his well-known philosophy. Mildred Fowler 11 Hill Top Road Quiet and conscientious, “Bill” seems somewhat out of place in these days of rush and turmoil. Her simple manners and graciousne ss have won her many a friend. How delightful it is to find a per¬ son of her nature in these turbulent times ! Stay as you are, “Bill, and happiness cannot help but seek you out. Marion Gates 215 Washington Street Marion devotes most of her time to her books, receiving excellent grades and the envious glances of her classmates as her just reward. Truman Gay ton 4 Bryn Mawr Road A tall quiet bov. But it’s worth your while to have him for a friend. Eleanor Gebelein 4 Crest Road “Eva” has a personality that conquers a who come in contact with her. She ha initiative and is always a leader. A sense of humor is an asset, and “Eva” has a sparkling one. No matter what goes wrong, she can always see the funny side of life. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL s 5 semei m Leo no re Gilson Gilson Road This is Lee’s” first and last year at Wel¬ lesley High, and she ' s certainly given us a sample of what the good old Beaver spirit can do. You know, Beaver Country Day, the select institution for girls ! Theresa Gubellini 37 Oak Street It’s too bad there’s not more of Theresa so that she could have an even wider smile and even more friends, if such a thing could be possible. She and the sun radiate a lot of sunshine. Clayton Hanna 10 Maple Road A good sport, a loyal friend, a live wire, popular with all—that ' s Mr. Hanna for you ! Carolyn Harmon 126 Abbott Road Have you read this book?” That’s Caro¬ lyn. Besides being the best reading mem¬ ber of the class, she is an expert at golf and housekeeping. That is to say nothing of her scholastic standing and as a resuit of her sparkling personality a wide circle of friends. Hubert Harris 16 Summit Road Although this is Hugh’s first year, he’s proved of great value to our school in more ways than one. Here’s power to you, Hugh ! William Hewett 26 Thomas Road A very capable youth, though he would never tell you so. A fine football tackle, and one of the main-stays of the Solid and Trig. Class. Page 15 Olaf Johnsen Oakland Street What would happen if Olaf didn ' t take the daily run around the block? Why, in two years he will be a second Clarence DeMar. Might I ask who all the young ladies are, Mr. Johnsen? Claire Johnson 25 Riverdale Road The girl with the beautiful wavy blonde . we forget, she threatened to kill us ir we mentioned her hair. The girl with looks, charm, refinement, and popularity. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOO L ANNUAL _ Camillas Hoffmann Senior Class Treasurer, tor, but Miss Macomber subduing him in English 387 Weston Road An excellent ac- has difficulty in Jean Horton 3 Summit Road Jean and the different branches of knowl¬ edge have no difficulty in getting acquain¬ ted with each other. If you get stumped on your Latin, just ask her. She’s no slave to study either, so we’ve heard. Minnie Howe 88 Seaver Street No, not Minnie the Mermaid, Minnie Howe. Minnie sees much and says very little. What she knows about Gary and .... would make Walter Winchell come to Wel¬ lesley. Lemuel Hunter 16 Elm Street “Mike” is like Herbert Hoover- you have to know him to appreciate him, and you can’t know him without appreciating him. Likewise it is hard to tell which knows more about baseball. ‘Lem 1 ’ or the ‘‘Sporting News.” Page 16 p WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL JDK 1 A 0 Mary Juliani 18 Rice Street Though apparently uiet to the world in general, something tells me Mary has her mischievous moments. Constance Kavanagh 96 Woodlawn Ave. “Bunny” is an all-round girl. She is prominent in athletics, dramatics, and in society. Her favorite sport is motoring— (put-putting to Worcester)—no matter where—her technioue is perfection ! Marian Knights 17 Cottage Street Marian ' s a girl full of fun (ask her about the time she almost blew up the school building!), but I hear she has her serious moments, too. Phyllis Lamerton 17 Waban Street Talk about your composed natures! Why, even if the roof fell in ... . five to one, Phyllis wouldn’t bat an eyelash. Eleanor Lane 78 Crescent Street Always ready with a favor and a smile. We don’t have to wish her luck or success because she will have them anyway. Winston Lawrence 22 Thomas Road Another football player, but his specialty is basketball. “Winnie” is fast laying claim to the role of Tarzan (or Henry De Glane). Mr. Moulton ' s shining light! r i ■A. n WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL David Leary 41 Leary Road The “forgotten man’ of the basketball team would do anything rather than study. He loves the ladies and that statue by the front door. His sense of humor is so sharp that he often, sees the point when there is none. He ' s a good scout, and the first floor corridor wouldn’t seem complete if Leary weren ' t i n it about fifty times a day. Ralph MacGuire In his three years at high school Raloh has nobly overcome a great many diffi¬ culties. His constant “plugging” only goes to show us that there is always a just reward for honest labor. Margaret MacLean 34 Channing Street, Newton Margaret is an athlete of note, starring in hockey and basketball, and for three years she gave her track opponents a real run. In between her sporting activities, Margaret is to be seen directing traffic in and about the building. Mary McDermott Woodlawn Avenue Although Mary never brags about her talents, we know for a fact that she can pound a piano in such a way that it is only eQualled by Miss Ferguson. Keep it up, Mary. Agnes McGlone 64 Curve Street 4 Agnes may look shy, but she is a very keen observer who always has a witty comeback for all the would-be wise- crackers. Robert Mulliken 41 Cottage Street “Minnie” Mulliken makes marvelous mus e on many marimbas ; but 1 think he is even faster on. his feet than on Fiis xylo¬ phone. m J D JQK! Page 18 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Russell Munro Russell Road A bold, bad man! Beware, girls ! Grace Nakashian 447 Worcester Street The way Grace has borne our (and the faculty’s) outrageous misspelling and ' • mispronunciation of her name is surely proof of her good nature. Nuart Nakashian 447 Worcester Street We ' ve got great faith in Nuart and know she ' ll do big things. She ' s a capable, attractive girl. Are there more at home like you? Frances Patterson 107 Dover Road Brilliance and beauty! What a combina¬ tion ! And that isn ' t all ! Popularity and | personality are there also. Doris Pearson 24 Avon Road We’ve heard of how the weaker sex has turned out for wrestling and next to Doris’s ability to sew is her weakness for boxing. We’re banking on you. Dori-. Ruth Portmore 2 Solon Street Who doesn ' t know Ruth? Well, if you J don ' t, just think of somebody with nice wavy red hair (the envy of every girl in school), and I ' ll guarantee you’ll remember her. Page 19 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Priscilla Proctor 11 Pleasant Street “Peggy” always seems to enjoy herself. Dance, sing, and make merry, n’est-ce-Pas ? Elsie Randall 876 Worcester Street A quiet, conscientious girl, and a loyal friend to all. We already see success for you, Elsie. Douglas Rose 55 Burke ' s Lane What a card shark I Watch out, young men. Ernest Sahlin S3 Edge moor Avenue “Silence is golden” and so is “Porkie’s” hair. And like gold, if there were more of it, it wouldn’t be so valuable. Daria Pritoni 68 Seaver Street Daria is a sweet, quiet girl with large brown eyes and a large friendly smile. Katherine Sanford 145 Grove Street On Katherine’s report card, there’s nothing but “A ' s.” She’s one of our cleverest and most attractive girls. Page 20 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Kcbert Selfe 7 Wiswall Circle ' Bob’’ Selfe should be himself and not Gary Cooper, or maybe Walter Winchell. He knows the news that’s behind every door. Long may be live—the “Wanderer” ever¬ more. Harris Shelley 107 Grove Street Mr. Ryther’s life is made miserable by the variety, abundance, and general ijuality of Harris’s wise-cracks, but his laboratory technique is nothing short of awesome, being unexcelled anywhere in its sheer genius. a n fiSEBEE re m Bette Schofield 60 Washington Street Besides being of a happy-go-lucky dispo¬ sition, Bette is also one of the most suc¬ cessful man-killers in these parts, and when she lays siege to the masculine heart, there are few, indeed, who can resist her wiles. Richard Schofield 60 Washington Street “Fritz” Schofield likes to hunt and fish out in the wide open spaces, but he is still mo e successful in hunting excuses in school. Frank Seagrave 112 Crest Road In addition to his skill as a gymnast, Ftank has no little ability a.- a musician and also as an actor. Gertrude Seagrave Summit Road To know “Trudy” is to know someone worth while. A winning smile and bright eyes reveal her sunny disposition. Her fine ideals help her to rise above petty things in life, and she resolutely runs the risk and joyously accepts the consequence of living up to them. Page 21 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Edward Skahill 5 Everett Street Recognized throughout the school for his versatility, being prominent both as the fish-monger of the operetta and a star of the basketball team. Audre.v Sluxnan 32 Riverdale Road This girl is giving Floyd Gibbons some¬ thing to think about. In fact, he ' s quite worried to find we ' ve discovered a girl who can talk as fast as he can. It’s lucky that they both have such a good sense of humor. Hubert Spurr Hubert ' s hobby is telling us some “fish’ 271 Weston fishing. Hov ’ stories ? Road about Malcolm Stewart 401 Linden Street Wrestler, athlete, and electrician ! Mal¬ colm hopes to gain fame at North Caro¬ lina State College. Davis Tailby 127 Linden Street Here’s another famous red-head. Strange as it may seem, he’s known for his peace¬ ful temperament. sss mmTh a Ruth Sweeney 223 Weston Road Here’s a girl who never seems to hurry or worry, nor does her peaceful calm ever seem disturbed. Page 22 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Lcuise Tartari 13 Donizetti Street A generous clever girl. If ever you get in a tight place, call on Louise for help. Marjorie Taylor 10 Riverdale Road Wanted—a girl to fill Marjorie Taylor ' s shoes ! This is a large order as Midge has always been one of our best and most popular students. Mary Trears 14 Willow Road Mary is steadfast and true—always de¬ pendable. She has a quiet sense of humor which looks on and appreciates humanity. She makes a perfect friend because she is loya 1. B Ah in vcn Auw 4«1 Weston Road I Editor of the ' ‘Monitor and of the “Year I Book : winner of the Faculty Book Prize I and of the Wesleyan Scholarship, besides I being a veritable Tilden on the courts, j “Al threatens to usurp Barrymore ' s I throne. Paul Welch 10 Morton Street Captain of Hockey and Baseball; Junior Class President. Not only a burly defense man on the All-Star Hockey Team, “Tete is also a one-man baseball team, and he occasionally dabbles in football and bas¬ ketball. He is a charter member of Mr. Ryther’s wise-cracker squad. Page 23 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Dorothy Wright Fenmerc Avenue Talk about your efficient office workers. We’re wondering what the school will do .vhen Dorothy leaves it. -1 □ KL ' Robert Zoletti 55 Atwood Street Why should a brute like “Bob” Zoletti pick on a little violin ? He ought to be playing a bass viol or a tuba. They would blend better with football. Philip Wentworth 143 Cliff Road Captain of Basketball. This year Phil’s attention has been divided between Wel¬ lesley and New London, New Hampshire. When “Phil” goes into a song and dance. Gene Arnold had better look to his laurels. Rachel Whittemore 21 Franklin Road Rachel has very little to say around school. But I know that Rachel, outside, during her gay moments is an entirely different type. Stop kidding us, Rachel ! Edith Wier 23 Upland Road Will you ever forget her white toga and all when she played the part of Brutus ; and, again, when she was the haughty Swede ? Helen Wires 18 Whiting Road Besides having outstanding abilities as an artist, Helen has a way of driving her roadster where it is absolutely impossible to get out without some able assistance by the opposite sex. With a twinkle in her eye, Helen is on the road in no time. Page 24 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ‘M mmi ADDITIONAL SENIORS Elizabeth Blakney 15 Bemis Road Not too serious, not too gay! Just the kind of girl we like to have around. Her nick-name is “Jo”. We wonder—is there a double significance ? Louis Brodie 15 Cedar Street Louis is one of our “fair-weather” boys; i.e., he only comes to school when the weather is fair. Sometimes when Louis comes to school unexpectedly, it rains. Louis Canoni 4 Pine Street Louis is one of the boys in the school who has little to do with the “Ferns.” Every afternoon Louis is to be found in his garden digging. What we have not found out is whether Louis is just digging for worms or whether he is going to do some planting. Mary Doherty Dearborn Street “Rita” is an outstanding Girl Scout. She will always stand out in our minds as an ardent supporter of all school and town enterprises. With smiling Irish eyes, “Rita” is bound to come through ! John Eastman 32 Line Street Here’s the class statistician ! By the first of May. Jack had the remaining days of school figured into minutes. Have you spoken to Babson about this ? Mary Fitzpatrick 26 River Ridge To know Mary is to have a grand friend. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL gs«r VL- Margaret Henderson 15 Clifton Road Margaret goes her way rather quietly but we suspect her of doing a great deal of thinking. Robert Knapp 294 A Washington Street A consistent fourth-place winner in the track meets, but Mr. Snow finds his car quite useful. A snappy dresser and a fine tennis player. Unfortunately, his merry quips are confined to a small group of regular passengers. Secretary of the Student Council and Junior Class Officer. Dana T. Lowell 25 Whiting Road Football player, shot-putt-er, stage man¬ ager, decorator, electrician, and physicist. But before you leave, Dana, how about that laboratory equipment? Joseph Lupien 4 May Street No chorus or musical affair would be complete without Joe’s soothing voice. He also holds the, all-time championship in match-chewing. Richard Lyons 48 Washington Street An honest man, twice Class Treasurer. If yotu wanb a iy information about thte Bruins and Braves, he is the one to ask. Louise Magliozzi 24 State Street Whose is that contagious laugh of the second floor coat room ? None other than Louise’s. However, she has a very serious turn of mind, and when it comes to busi¬ ness no one can deny her niche. m rntm mm® ' 5 5 £ Page 26 !P WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Mary Meagher 183 Walnut Street Mary, like many others in our High School, was attacked by the appendicitis bug. With a captivating smile, Mary came through with flying colors. Keep smiling, Mary, we’re with you. Stanley Parker 47 Washington Street Naturally quiet, one is surprised on fur¬ ther acquaintance to discover the amount of fun and frolic which “Stan” carries beneath his sober mien. His optimism and good humor are bound to carry him through, and we’ll bet “Stan” will make good. Georgiana Reader 843 Worcester Street If you ever have the blues, just go to Miss Reader and Company. She’s as jolly as they come, and a grand optimist. Natalie Recchia 96 Cedar Street “Nat” has left us several times but this time she is here to stay. Like Mr. Up ham, she is from Connecticut. John Seaverns 17 Atwood Street John forsakes physics twice a week for typewriting. He is no mean walker and he is the world’s fastest talker. Every once in a while he gets the jump on Harris Shelley and makes a really funny wise-crack. Marjory Shattuck 26 Atwood Street Here ' s who we have to thank for all the mimeographed assignment sheets! If you don’t believe Marjory does the mimeo¬ graphing, just go into Room 4 during the first period any day. “Seein’ is believin’.” WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL EsaBSfiieaBgES! John Shelley 107 Grove Street His presence is always discernible by the sound of his many-horned car. We wonder what would happen if all the hours John has spent sitting in his car in Wellesley Square were placed end-to-end or some¬ thing. Russell Smith 10 Orchard Street This tall, handsome Wellesley student i? some day going to change the flavor of Smith Brothers’ Cough Drops to suit his own taste. Walter Snow 190 Wellesley Avenue He never received a greater thrill than when he was called before the student body to receive the basketball trophy. Joseph Sohaskey 2 Washington Street Did you ever see “Jo” when his hair wasn’t plastered down like Clark Gable’s ? Did you ever see him in Physics when he wasn’t eating his lunch ? Horace Taylor 59 Crest Road Horace sure does hold a mean door down by Mr. Adams’ room, and they sure need he-men to hold back the doors of this mighty school. Rex Vermilyea 38 Whittier Road Apparently Rex’s daily presence is indis¬ pensable to the office. Mr. Ryther checks his clock by the officer’s 9 :20 visit. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL n a n vm . g mz 6 3-3 Ira St THE SAGA OF ’33 CANTO I Of mortar, clay and bricks, and books I sing; Of life, of love, and all the joys of living; Of girls, of boys, of ink, of pen, of sports; Of Latin, French, and history reports. O Muse, inspire in my flowing plume True words retelling now my happy theme. Aye, tell of life amid the weighty books, And why stealthy delight in stolen looks; Thou heavenly muse, sing to me of tubes. Of laboratories dank and dark; of cubes, Of squares and arcs; of typewriters and files; Of corridors and lofty halls and aisles. But. best of all, O Muse, to me relate The spirit of companionship of mates In school, in play, and on the field of sport: — A perfect symphony of youthful hearts. Afar it was a thing of gaping wonderment; Near ’twas a maze of teachers competent; A thing of bustle and hurrying ado. A group of Sophomores, marching two by two Approached its lofty heights and grizzly towers To be there condemned (they thought) to many hours Of ceaseless toil, miscounting all the hours Of happy comminglement of girls and boys. Home rooms assigned, and pupils teachers met, Work we commenced, by no fears beset. Proceeded to the task of choosing them Our class to lead. Eleanor Gebelein The president. Next Oliver in line, We chose, her duties to abet. And Welch and Jenkins filled the cabinet. By winter wind the leaves were vexed; The witching hour beset the Sophomores next. With streamers orange and felines black And superstitious signs of Zodiac. Lo. thus with eerie decorations arty, Dramatics came next our thoughts to fill. We ushered in our first class party. The first class with mischievous skill Did sponsor eerie work—“The Ghost Story.” Miss Drisko calmly bore the coach’s worry. The cast were stars of highest magnitude, A hushed and eager audience expectant viewed Patteson and Carolyn Harmon and Nickerson, And Frank Seagrave, and Gates, and Lyons, And Kavanagh and Gubellini-gay Fulfilled a cast of stellar ray. In the athletic realm we did the more excel. For Anderson. Durgin, and Wentworth shone well. Page 29 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL And Gebelein and Carpenter and Ganoe— From their sportsmanship did records grow. Forever loyal to our school, we chose, Upon a ring of black and red disclosed, The seal of Wellesley—proud and lofty town— A heritage from times of old brought down. A year complete, we pause to think; it was A year of joy, and with thundering applause, We laud our teachers, mates, and leaders all; Inspired, look forward to a glowing fall. CANTO II And lo! the second cycle had begun. It was the rising of a second sun— A second happy year at Wellesley High— The raising of her name and fame to sky. Then browned from beaches, tanned with summer sun. We returned from holidays of glorious fun. We entered portals from other times revered And to whose name a thousand are endeared. Next officers of class elected we. The president was Welch, an athlete he. Assigned to Gebelein vice-presidency; And Knapp the glowing records to present; To Lycns, monetary honors went. A Junior party was our next event. When all their proud hauteur unbent. And joined the games and dancing. To be short It was a soiree of a varied sort. Electric genius on a darkened stage. While others in his pleasures did engage. The gay party was o’er and past; in season due Athletics and games our notice drew. In teams and sports familiar names appear, Those who excelled in their first year. Dramatics ’gain our whole attention claim, While Precious, great priestess of Thespis, names The illustrious cast of “Friend of the Family,” With A. von Auw, Lyons and Charles DeLorie, And Margaret Fleming paired off with Carolyn Harmcn. And Doris Kinney and Charlotte Nickerson. A strident band, a flowing saxophone, Balloons and streamers hailed the Junior prom. Gay dancing couples on a polished floor; Sweet music—Orpheus plies his golden lyre The ancient art of dancing to inspire, While joyous partners clap for more. A mellow voice was crooning melodies; Ere midnight chimes, each to his abcde swift hies. Honors in history we gladly pay To Hunter—mighty in the battle fray. And Sanford and von Auw the palms bear down WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Of worthy character—the best all-round. And thus a second cycle we fulfilled, Were joyous, in our happy excitement, thrilled, Yet, awed that twice we had moved up a round On this—our ladder—where success is found. CANTO III Ere hills turned brown and yet while fields were green, The earth was shimmering in the summer sheen. Speeding months their ancient courses filled, Again September winds the leaves had thrilled. For softly sorrowing we did leave our play. And yet, with greatly gladdened hearts to stay Our one last year of school in Wellesley. Aye sad, yet glad, with gay expectancy We traced our quickened steps to revered portals And quivering,—for Seniors are but mortals. To lead the class and steer the ship a head Was chosen,—smiling Leonard oft called “Bud,” ’Twas Foster at the helm with “Eva” near— E. Gebelein to lend a hand and steer. Recorder of our joys and woes, Theresa Loomed up. Eh, what, ’twas Gubellini, ah! And counting pennies, lo! C. Hoffmann strode, Was bent and doubled ’neath hi3 ponderous (?) load. Th’immortal four—the Horsemen they—to guide The ship of school on quickly ebbing tide. ’Twas theirs to exalt the honor of their class, Love right and truth, and, scornful, spurn the base. And lo! in magic hues of “Rouge et Noir” A room transformed to a gay-lit dancing floor. ’Twas Senior Eve—or our last party thus. The beat of feet, the sighing female chorus; Marimba notes of flashing xylophone; The stirring voice of a husky baritone. A sketch or two, or e’en a monologue, Then dancing, singing, turned to favored vogue. The brimming steins o’erflowed with mellowed cider 1 -- “To health and jollity and friendship wider!” November darkened into wintry December; Behold, the dark house turned to light, remember? ’Twas Night of Plays, a heritage brought down From times of old beyond present renown. Sir Arthur Pinero was the choice to play— “Playgoers” with a cast of stellar ray. And Seagrave ’gain must head the house. With loving Sarah, his devoted spouse. Their servants were a galaxy of stars; Another Seagrave of the gentler sex, And Edith Wier was hardly secular! And Patterson, whose shape was most convex; Both Taylor and Nakashian with bustling ado; And uncouth Gale was von Auw to you. ifa Page 31 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL But honors to the coach must go: Ha.il, Macomber, the sponsor of the show! The footlights dimmed; the stage was dark, and weeks Of work rolled by (those which our cards bespeak) ; We toted books, our eyes were red with work. In study, and elsewhere on the field of sport Were Gebelein and Kavanagh and Welch. And Carpenter to wit; or Gates or else La Sanford, Wentworth, Johnson’s clever skill. And months passed, nor Father Time stood still. The wintry blasts of March are o’er and past. The garb of verdancy Spring donned at last. The stage again was the center of all eyes— For grease paint proffers excellent disguise. The Senior play presented we. ’Twas called “The Tightwad”—virtues of a maiden it extolled; ’Twas timely, too, with sagacious enterprise Discussed of the Market the “wherefores and whys.” Aye, von Auw played the title role— A handsome hero he, and no one’s fool. The heroine of charming grace untold Was Gertrude Seagrave; the vampire bold Was Kavanagh; and Donahue The villain took, he who no scruples knew. A sympathetic crowd the villain hissed, While handsome Tom his lovely Edna kissed. And Hoffmann, his lanky lounging frame On a divan eased in brotherly acclaim. And Pa and Ma became respectively Seagrave and Taylor—parents of a family. The servants of sturdy Swedish brogue Were Wier, Skahill, and faithful Gubellini; And taxi driver—Bill—set eyes agog With mustaches of perfect nicety. Again a bouquet to Miss Macomber, Of greatest Thespians the sorcerer. And balmy April passed with fieeting showers. But ere it had completed its fixed hours, Abroad the message was sent of valedictory, Proclaiming one in scholarship supreme, Who had fulfilled the ultimate of dreams, ’Twas Katherine Sanford bore the palm of light And Hunter the next victor of the fight And foll’wing after them in proud array There marched those who should their arts display In later life. They, honor students all, The sacred laurels next to them did fall. With laughter reminiscent of old France, In joyous chorus, song and merry dance, Sopranos, altos to lilting heights did scar. The “Chimes of Normandy” th’audience did adore. Applause reechoed rafters high and wide, As handsome Lucenay proclaimed his bride. I 6 smiajg Page 32 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL An editor with hair on end rushed round, A-hunting news and scouring the town For niceties of gossip rare; “The Monitor” his achievement, solace, and care. A staff of proficient workers were they all, Each running at his every beck and call. A year book was the culmination great Of ceaseless toil of thrice times eight. Resplendent class of 1933 Must have its will and prophecy. A gift, a song, and honors to go ’round; Then banquet tables heavy loaded down. But these were all mere due formalities Precedent to the true activities Commencement brings. A wondrous night in June, Soft breezes murm’ring sweet melodious tune, A night not soon or e’er to be forgot. There eager girls and ardent boys had sought Fulfillment of a perfect dream. Twas night Of nights to graduate from School to Life. Yet School was Life, and Life was School. But more The pangs of parting love our hearts explore. For faced by actuality, we pause, Reflecting, now, the former time that was When teachers were our kindly guide And Wellesley High our hearts’ chief joy and pride. And ere we take the fateful dreaded step, We ponder him who no rewards doth reap, Save those of great content in knowledge That he has been a faithful friend and guide To us in mastering Life’s rising tide. Thrice hail, Ralph Proctor! Hail, and hail again! The leader of a mighty school is he, Who’s carved his niche in immortality. O Muse, to me relate of parting sorrow Of the class of nineteen hundred thirty-three, As they, expectant, view their bright tomorrow. To thee we sing, O fair Wellesley, O goddess chaste, be thou our guide, As forward into life we, anxious, take our stride. Be with us e’er, and blessings on thee thrice, As we, parting, seek thy excellent advice. Be with us. goddess, hear our ardent plea. Be with us and our hearts shall be with thee. Audrey Sluman. Marjorie Taylor, Frank Seagrave, Malcolm Stewart Page 33 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1933 On this auspicious occasion of our graduation, we, the Class of ’33, being of sound (?) and healthy mind, do hereby leave to our schoolmates a last will and testament, containing some few of our outstanding, unusual, and delightful eccentricities: Hubert Harris in mellow baritony instills his flowing voice in the larynx of Chris¬ topher Barkas.

With the earnest admonition that you heed our request, we sign this, our last will and testament: Constance Kavanagh Louise Magliozzi Camillus Hoffmann Harris Shelley Witnesses: (Monsieur Perrichon (William Shakespeare (Vergi l Page 37 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1933 Dear Friends: We live in the age of prophecy. Roger Babson and Franklin Roosevelt predict prosperity. Herbert Hoover’s expert commissions have studied into the details of the social trends of the United States. All the while a special commission has been at work at Wellesley High School. They were instructed to reveal the precise occupation and location, fifteen years hence, of every last member of the Wellesley High School Class of 1933. The first meeting of this commission met with disaster when ' ‘Rusty” Hillman bounced the whole bunch out of their intended rendezvous, the boiler room. Mrs. Vanderwarker bribed them with half a Hershey bar to keep out of the lunch room. Mr. Proctor recommended Miss Costello’s room, but the committee decided there wouldn’t be enough chalk there. Then a sinister plot was suggested. The committee was to sneak up to the third floor, gag Mr. Ryther and use the Chem Lab for a meeting place. But Mr. Ryther got wind of the plot, since he was figuring on the velocity of echoes, using the cold air shaft, with his side-kick, Mr. Jewell. Mr. Ryther armed himself with a bottle of the powerful Chromo-Belcher, better known as liquid mist. As the commission entered the room, Mr. Ryther heaved the bottle of potion at the blackboard and ran out, locking the door behind him. A murky haze enveloped the room. The terrified group drew back in confusion. The room grew dark with smoke. Suddenly a strong ray of light from the windows penetrated the smoke and projected a bewildering spectacle on the front wall of the room. Dumfounded and speechless the committee awaited the results of these strong chemicals. There on the wall appeared the hull of a huge vessel. People were going aboard and disembarking. They were talking, for truly the committee found themselves viewing what seemed to them to be a real talking picture. The scenes appeared at closer range. The name of the ship, “Horsefeathers,” was painted in large red letters; below the name was written “Constructed in 1958 at the Donahue Shipyards.” Surely George must have been the designer of a ship built on the lines of an inverted derby. It was captained by Bill Hewett, whose fearless, calm expression made his passengers less inclined to lean over the rail. Eleanor Gebelein was going aboard the ship to say goodbye to Minnie Howe, her co-worker at the refund desk in McLellan’s. Suddenly, first-mate Hugh Harris blew the whistle and gave chief engineer Olaf Johnsen the signal for full speed ahead. Away the ship lurched without warning. Gentleman John Shelley, president of Wellesley College, was left on the dock, but the resourceful Leonore Gilson, matron of the ship, grabbed him by the whiskers and hauled him aboard. On the deck a stately woman, wearing the official Girl Scout uniform, sat tying knots. It was Rita Doherty. Talking with her was Edward Skahill, who was on his two weeks’ vacation from Raymond’s. Miss Doherty and Ed were speaking of: Truman Gayton, who, with Joe Sohaskey as his partner, had been working on a theory of an odorless and smokeless cigarette; of Horace Taylor’s being back in his old high shoes in Pepperell; Alvin von Auw, the walking encyclopedia, and Ins co-worker, Mary McDermott, who were on their way to Africa’s quietest jungle to work on Al’s latest problem of relativity. At dinner there were various notables pres¬ ent, namely: Jean Horton, who holds the world’s record in pole-vaulting; Joseph Lupien, the match king of the United States; Georgiana Reader, world’s champion flag-pole sitter: Douglas (“Red”) Rose, the star reporter for the “Daily Mop,” Newton Lower Falls’ leading tabloid paper; Robert Zoletti, the heavyweight champion of Chel¬ sea; Natalie Recchia, a police woman of Wellesley; Gladys Forsberg, famous diamond Page 38 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL a vm?, n vmtn vim , a vm?rh ss collector; Edith Wier, who is on her way to South America, where she intends to investigate the antics of the ant-eater; Eliza Bissell, resting before she continues her ' work at the Natick Theatre a-s Lady Macbeth; and Davis Tailby, who is a millionaire, now that he has invented a typewriter that never misspells and is operated by the “hunt and peck” system, now authorized in book form by that tall, slender woman, Audrey Sluman. Placed there as decoration in the dining salon were beautifully designed hot-dog stands painted by Theresa Gubellini. After arriving at Paris, the passengers amused themselves either by taking a sail up the Seine in a rowboat pro¬ pelled by the Volga boatman, Stanley Parker, or by roller-skating at a rink owned by the hermit fisherman, Hubert Spurr. Down a side street a crowd of screaming men, women, and children had gathered about a highly polished red car, which was now slightly damaged, driven by Miss Frances Patterson. Mr. Pulver was with her and he supplied the French necessary to secure repairs at L’Estabrooks garage, which bore the slogan “We Fix Flats.” “Fran” went to a book shop and procured the latest French book on Self-Analysis, entitled “Comme je le fais” or “How I do it,” by Phili p Wentworth. At luncheon, Dana Lowell, looking more mature than ever, was seen finishing all the remains on the plates of ethers as he waited for two orders of the full-course dinner. The proprietor, manager, and cook of the restaurant were all one person, Mary Fitzpatrick. Her employees were: Loyise Magliozzi, kitchen maid, because of former experience in the Hole-In-The-Wall; Louis Canoni, head waiter; Mary Juliani, cashier, because a nickel would never slip by her; and Eleanor Lane and Josephine Blakney, waitresses. Upon leaving the cafe, we heard the words “Willy, I won’t press your pants any more” issuing from a Men’s Clothing Store across the street. This was the voice of Mary Feldman, as she blazed with fury at Sezak. The trip was continued by train. Medeo Cristofori, a porter, informed us that in the engine room Winston Lawrence and liOuis Brodie were engineers; after the many years of track training at Wellesley High, they had switched to running trains on tracks. They were talking about: Carlo Cassoli, who had recently accepted the position of head fireman in charge of the Y. W. C. A. dis¬ trict in New York; Mary Carpenter, who was collaborating with Robert Carroll, Daria Pritoni, Louise Tartari, and Gino Tangerini, in writing a book entitled “A Treatise on Platonic Philosophy.” On this particular train there was a ballroom. The lights were dimmed as two slender nymphs, attired in shining raiment and gossamer wings, appeared, floating about the floor. These were recognized as the Nakashian sisters. Next, Priscilla Proctor sang “Pink Elephants.” Nearby, watching the performance, were two women, Ruth Sweeney and Katherine Sanford, who were studying at Oxford during the summer, intending to take up their duties in Wellesley High in the fall. They gossiped about Camillus Hoffmann’s succeeding Warden Lawes at Sing Sing, an appointment by Governor Foster of New York; also about Jack Eastman’s becoming a. gentleman farmer, wearing a tuxedo as he teaches his pigs to fly. All of a sudden Miss Sanford jumped as she heard a deep roar. It was Rex Vermilyea sleeping in the next car. He had never regained all the sleep he had lost while studying at Wellesley High. Another person on the train was Bob Selfe, now reporting for the New York Times. He wanted to do justice to old acquaintances, so he ran a series of articles entitled: High School Secretaries —Dorothy and Dorothy, the name is Wright; Captains of Industry —Doris Pearson, dressmaker, her slogan being “As ye sew, so shalt thou rip”; Margaret Henderson, the government inspector of Pills: John Seaverns, hunter of the old bald eagle in Japan; Mary Trears, Agnes McGlone and Marjorie Sha.ttuck, working in Carter’s office at Needham and sometimes acting as models. The train stopped with a jerk and Bob (him) Selfe stumbled over the wrong foot of Joe Foote. Charles DeLorie, conductor of that car, laughed. By the way, he was wearing a new cap designed by Margaret Fleming. The stop of the train was Sahlin. Czechoslovakia, named after the “boy wonder,” Ernest Sahlin. now mayor of said city. Page 39 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL V QW QAW cw r m r 7Lt- m Hudson Eldridge was at the station waiting in his Austin to transfer baggage to a passenger plane bound for Wellesley, operated by Ralph MacGuire. In a few Gays the trip was made, and we arrived on the roof garden, The Sloppy Sink,” at the new Wellesley Senior High School, managed by Maynard Bryant and Russell Munro. Baggage was checked with Norma Colclough; the ushering was done by Clayton Hanna; and Marion Gates served. The floor show was in full swing. Claire Johnson was perfectly exemplifying Marlene Dietrich as “Blonde Venus.” The doorman was recog¬ nized to be John Duffy. His large-sized shoes seemed to indicate why he was hired for such a place. He had married Carrie Harmon, the perfect golfer, and from them these facts were gleaned about their old friends: that Ruth Portmore is a cigarette girl in Joe Kenney’s restaurant, and has dyed her hair black so that she may wear red and orange more effectively; that Bob Mulliken and his Ping Pong Band had recently been in Wellesley on his annual tour of the country, and that Bob is using the xylophone wallopers patented by “Dave” Leary; that “Dick” Lyons’ job as fast man at the Swift Packing Company is “in the burlap” since he’s the one that says what the well-dressed chicken will wear; that Ray Whittemore is running a perpetual “open house” at 21 Franklin Road; that at Duxbury, during the past season, Mr. Upham, still the most sought-after bachelor in town, was entertained by Bette Schofield; that Mary Meagher is appearing at the “Met” as IVfyrna Loy; that Elsie Randall is raising a new animal, a plhegistosaurus, in her pent house on 5th Avenue; that “Lem” Hunter, other¬ wise known as the second Cicero, is delivering “scap-box” orations while Knapp pajses the hat; that Russell Smith is a motorcycle cop; that “Bill” Fowler and Helen Wires are running a new hotel in Alaska, “The Step In and Fall Out”; that Walter Snow ' s lunch cart is Casey’s only rival; that “Toby” Anderson has perfected a perfect back scratcher; that Harris Shelley has taken up a permanent residence in Dover; that Malcolm Stewart is polishing brass at the Metropolitan Building of Waterworks; that Vera Balboni is a manicurist at George, the Barber’s; that Jerry Connolly is operating a push cart; that Marjorie Taylor is manipulating the ivories at Symphony Hall; that Miss Taylor’s assistant for turning her sheet music is Frank Seagrave; that Paul Welch has a responsible position in the Park Department clipping the grass on the baseball diamond; that Phyllis Lamerton has won the latest marathon, a fast-talking marathon; that “Peggy” MacLean and Marian Knights have taken all the honors at the recent Olympic Games at Revere; that Constance Kavanagh is touring the country advertising Baby Blue Buicks with her pet secretary, Marilyn Bryant; and that Ger¬ trude Seagrave has returned to Idaho to her wild cowboy friends.Suddenly, the fire drill gong sounded throughout the corridors. The committee raced down the room only to find six firemen rushing to the Chem Lab with a hose. Evidently the mysterious smoke had led Mr. Upham to believe the school was on fire. Then the committee solemnly vowed never to meet again after telling the story of what they saw to their classmates on this occasion. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 41 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 1933 CLASS SONG Oh! Wellesley! the class of thirty-three Lifts its voice in song to thee; May thy spirit guide us ever And spur us on to new endeavor When we depart from thee.

WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL r 3 ; m “THE TIGHTWAD” On the evening of April 8 a large attendance seemed to enjoy the presentation of the 1933 Senior Play, Robert Keith’s “The Tightwad.” Great credit is due to Miss Macomber, who supervised the production and coached the following cast in the in¬ tricacies of the dramatic art: Mr. Taylor Mrs. Taylor Elmer Taylor Edna Taylor Mamie Harris Orval Stone Tommy Jordan Taxi Driver Swedish Servants Theresa Gubellini, Frank Seagrave Marjorie Taylor Camillus Hoffmann Gertrude Seagrave Constance Kavana gh George Donahue ...

The team was of medium weight and the eight-game schedule seemed to be exceedingly heavy. Due to the loss of the captain at midseason and the lack of student support, the success of the season was not what it should have been. Again, we urge the student body to realize that the number of victories is not as important as the way the game is played. The following boys received letters as a reward for their good sportsmanship and gallant fighting: Captain Alvin Anderson Stanley Parker Austin McCourt William Hewett Malcolm Stewart George Lupien Donald McNeil Dana Lowell Rufus Ferioli Paul Nahass Richard Miller LeBaron Estabrooks Clifton Smith John Marshall Jerry Connolly Louis Canoni Frank Fair Robert Nelson Manager George Donahue Coach—HERBERT H. SNOW Manager—GEORGE DONAHUE Asst. Coach—JAMES M. ROBERTSON Asst. Manager—DAVID LEARY ■ r v j r - i i r nj i r x r AI WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL HOCKEY The 1933 Wellesley Senior High School Hockey Team skated its way into third place of the newly formed Bay State Interscholastic Hockey League. Captain Paul Welch, All-Star Defense man, stabilized the defense and cooperated with Roger Pratt and Eugene Wildes to break up combination plays directed against Robert Nyland, All-Star Goalie. The aggressiveness and back checking of the for¬ ward lines plus their clever passing resulted in many goals and kept the opponents continually on the defense. The first forward line consisted of Forest Mather, All- Star Right Wing, Louis Villa, Center, and Captain-Elect Eugene Lockhart, Left Wing. Alfred Juliani, Right Wing, Melvin Stone, Center, and Roderick Hamilton, Left Wing, made up the second line, whereas Paul McCourt, Right Wing, Charles Mantovani, Cen¬ ter, and William Boyd, Left Wing, comprised, the third forward line. These two lines provided able relief for the first line. Christopher Barkas, spare goalie, made many excellent stops while he saw service. The excellent coaching of Mr. James M. Robertson and the fine spirit exhibited by the members of the team resulted in nine wins, two ties, and one loss, with vic¬ tories over Boston University Freshmen and Framingham as the outstanding wins of the season. The following boys were awarded letters: Captain Paul Welch, Captain-Elect Eu¬ gene Lockhart, Robert Nyland, Forest Mather, Louis Villa, Eugene Wildes. Roger Pratt, Roderick Hamilton, Alfred Juliani, Charles Mantovani, Paul McCourt, Melvin Stone. Christopher Barkas, William Boyd, and Manager George Donahue.

' y-f-u ■•xt- r BASKETBALL The 1933 Basketball team, having won thirteen of its sixteen games, exhibited the finest type of basketball in recent years. The sturdy defense, combined with alert, keen-eyed forwards, made the team doubly strong. The strict coaching under the direction of Herbert Snow made the team the strongest for some time. In return for the good sportsmanship and excellent team play, the following boys received letters: Captain Phillip Wentworth Edward Skahill Dcnald McNeil LeBaron Estabrooks Joseph Sohaskey Joseph Foote Robert Nelson Malcolm Stewart Leonard Foster Medeo Cristofori Manager John Duffy Coach—HERBERT SNOW Manager—JOHN DUFFY £1 ' r. ♦1Dj£ 4 54 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL BASEBALL The Wellesley Senior High School Baseball Team has had a very auspicious beginning for its 1933 season, having to its credit on May eighteenth seven wins and but one loss. The team is fortunate in having two exceptionally fine catchers, Austin McCourt and Louis Villa, whereas Captain Paul Welch and Forest (“Lefty”) Mather have proven the main-stays of the pitching staff. After the first seven games, the team was con¬ siderably weakened by the loss of Rcb?rt Nelson, first baseman, Eugene Lockhart, short stop and pitcher, Henry Carman, third baseman, and Paul McCourt, pitcher. First base is ably taken care of by Paul Welch when he is net pitching and by Paul Nahass when Welch is in the box. Russell Chase has filled the short stop vacancy, and Paul Nahass and Robert Kimnach are covering third. William Butler is outstanding at second base, and is one of the leading batters in the batting record. The out-field is composed of: Charles DeLorie (leading batter), left field; William Boyd, center field; and Donald McNeil, right field and first base; with Lemuel Hunter, Davis Tailby, and Robert Austin as substitute players and pinch hitters. Coach James M. Robertson hopes that by virtue of the team’s record so far this season, and by strenuous practice, this team will be the best baseball “nine” Wellesley has boasted of for many years.

The aim of the team is to give everyone a chance to compete in a regular geame and by this to develop into Varsity material. The boys have been greatly interested and have shown a fine spirit in their work. The squad includes the following boys: Robert Kimnach Leland Johnson Malcolm Stewart Fred Cronin Russell Burke George Foster Raymond Cutler Gino Tangerini Kermit Stevens Coach—HAROLD GOODNOUGH Davis Tailby Robert Chase Paul Naha-ss Robert Austin Carlyle Thayer Christopher Barkas Arzevedo Paltrinieri Earl DeMerritt Ralph Carlson 88 S3 S3 Page 56 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TRACK To date, the track team has participated in two meets, from which mediocre success and a winning spirit has been attained. Captain Robert Mulliken and coach Herbert Snow expect that Wellesley High School will be the receiver of many vic¬ tories on account of the faithful work already demonstrated by the thirty-eight mem¬ bers of the team.

With a good number of real tennis players, the desire for victory may be easily realized. The Tennis Team has had a highly successful season.

ROBERTSON Manager—GEORGE DONAHUE o ' Page 58 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY The hockey season this past year has been a very interesting one not only because of its outstanding team play and wealth of Sophomore and Junior material but also due to the fun and enjoyment received from the many exciting games played. In spite of the fact that Wellesley did not place among the first of the League, It was a very successful season. In proof of this, it might be added that in the twenty-two games played by both the first and second teams, Wellesley scored thirty points while only twenty-two were made against us. Perhaps one of the most thrilling occurrences cf the season was the shooting of a. goal by a defense player. It was in the Swampscott game that Norma Colclough. manager and left half-back, broke the tie which had prevailed, by scoring. Those who were present will never forget the day of the Melrose game. A halt dozen girls, standing ankle deep, with sponges and pails, trying in vain to drain the tleld before the game, was the sight which Melrose came upon. Regardless of the labor submitted, which resulted in wet feet, aching backs, and shivering limbs, we were unable to use the field and the game was postponed until a later date. Captain Eleanor Gebelein should be commended on her excellent, leadership, effi¬ ciency and fine sportsmanship. To her skilled playing and high scoring much of our success was due. Priscilla Moore, high scorer and center forward, is captain-elect for the coming year. Constance Kavanagh, who was a very dependable and clever half-back, always gave good support to the forward line. (Continued on page 64) 5v!n □ 1UK Page 59 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ii The basketball season started off with a bang and the primary enthusiasm dimin¬ ished little throughout the period covering three months. Although the teams were not always victorious, it was an outstanding season in regard to sportsmanship, en¬ joyment of the game, and the large number of girls participating. The first half of the season was devoted to class games with neighboring schools. Each had its thrills, disappointments, and moments of suspense. This was followed by the Varsity seascn consisting of intensely exciting games. Mary Carpenter, a fine leader and efficient captain, not only excelled in the center and guard positions, but was also high scorer in forward. Bet.hy Anderson, captain-elect for next year, certainly proved herself to be a skilled center player. Her game is fast and yet accurate. Eleanor Gebelein used her ever-present speedy playing to great advantage in side center and forward. Claire Johnson made many skillful baskets during both class and Varsity seasons, Constance Kavanagh was the outstanding guard of the Varsity as well as the class team. Priscilla Proctor displayed speed and accuracy combined in center. Katherine Sanford, also a center player, is not undeserving of credit for her skill in that Position. Marjorie Taylor, Senior Class captain, was always dependable in the guard territory. Of the Juniors on the Varsity, June Collins, manager, and June Clement as (Continued on page 61) GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Page 60 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL GIRLS’ BASEBALL The schedule fcr this year’s baseball season includes Wellesley’s old-time rivals, Melrose and Arlington, and om newer opponent, Cambridge. Although the squad consists largely of undergraduates, the skill necessary for the pitching box seems to be retained by captain Louise Giovanella and Mary Carpenter, manager, who are both Seniors. As we go to press, the first game has been played and won with a score of nine to seven. We hone the rest will be equally successful. Coach—MISS WINNIFRED BAILEY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL (Continued from page 60) guards, and Priscilla Moore as forward, deserve recognition for their part of the play The following were given letters: Mary Carpenter, captain; Bethy Anderson, captain-elect June Collins, manager; June Clement, Eleanor Gebelein, Claire Johnson, Constance Kavanagh. Priscilla Mcore, Priscilla Proctor, Katherine Sanford and Marjorie Taylor. Coach—MISS WINNIFRED BAILEY Page 61 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL GIRLS’ TENNIS Those desirous of tennis instruction and coaching have been divided into two classes, each meeting twice a week. The Beginners and the Advanced are under the direction of Miss Benson and Miss Bailey respectively. Both classes have ad¬ vanced rapidly and have gained much through the excellent coaching. The tennis cup was won last fall by Barbara Patterson, ' 34, who d feated Gail Spencer in the finals. Tennis is Wellesley’s most recent interscholastic sport and already four matches have been scheduled for this season. Connie Kavanagh, who has been an outstanding player for the past three years, has been elected Captain of the Tennis Team, and Priscilla Moore. Manager. The team is as follows: Constance Kavanagh, captain Priscilla Moore, manager Bethy Anderson Ruth Bradley Elea-nor Gebelein Phyllis Harding Margaret MacLean Virginia McWain Barbette Miller Gail Spencer Rachel Whittemore Coaches—MISS WINNIFRED BAILEY, MISS BENSON Pa§e 62 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL GIRLS’ TRACK The high-lights cf the girls’ track season of 1932 were the breaking of three long-established school records and the tying of a fourth. High Jump—There was great excitement at the Carnival when Irene Fisher cleared the bar at 4 feet 7 inches, thus establishing a new record. Basketball and Baseball throws—It was at the Carnival also that Ruth McNamara broke both of our throw records, raising the basketball record to 77 feet 10 inches and the baseball to 186 feet 6 inches. The 50-yard dash record of 6.2 seconds, established in 1929 by Ernestine Ryan, was tied by two of our present Seniors, Marian Knights and Margaret MacLean. There are now nine girls in this 6.2 tie and we wonder just who will break through to 6.1 seconds. There is high honor to be won here. The broad jump record is held by Cynthia Wentworth, who has jumped 7 feet 11!2 inches. This year’s track captaincy is filled by Margaret MacLean and the managership by Marian Knights. Coach—MISS WINNIFRED BAILEY Page 63 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL GIRLS’ ARCHERY Archery has been desired at the school for a number of years and this is the first year that Wellesley has been able to offer it as a regular sport. The classes are under the direction of Miss Benson and the leadership of the two Sophomores, Anastasia Wilson, captain, and Ruth Matthews, manager. From the twenty bowmen many have developed into expert shooters. At the end of the season an honorary team will be chosen. Coach—MISS BENSON GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY (Continued from page 59) Mary Carpenter, a most versatile player, was a star left wing and always de¬ pendable. Margaret MacLean and Marian Knights are both deserving of praise for their skill in half-back and forward position respectively. Much credit is due, also, to the defense players: June Collins, Norma Cclciough, Bethy Anderson, June Clement, and Phyllis Smith, goal. The following received letters: Eleanor Gebelein, captain; Priscilla Moore, captain- elect; Bethy Anderson, June Clement, Mary Carpenter, Norma Colclough, Constance Kavanagh, Marian Knights, Phyllis Smith, Margaret MacLean, and Priscilla Proctor. Coach—MISS WINNIFRED BAILEY WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of members of each class in the school and delegates from our major organizations. Every pupil in the school has had an op¬ portunity to propose legislation in the Council through his representative. Among the matters discussed have been the traffic officers, whose maintenance was considered necessary, the improvement of the assembly entertainments, and the proper upkeep of the building. Great interest was aroused by the possibility of Friday afternoon tea dances, but the committee found these impractical for this year, at least, as neither the assembly hall nor gymnasium was at any time regularly procurable. The Student Council Dance, held on April 29, seemed to indicate that, unless its interest is revived next year, this annual function should be discontinued. The officers of the Council are: President—Leonard Poster Vice-President—Donald McNeil Recording Secretary—Robert Knapp Corresponding Secretary—Alvin von Auw ttrrr E Page 65 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TRAFFIC SQUAD The traffic squad is composed of sixteen officers, headed by Robert Selfe, commis¬ sioner; Kathleen Ryan, chief: and Fro Georgas, sergeant. Every member of last year’s staff still in school this year was again an officer. The officers have done their best to preserve order and to prevent any possible accidents in the halls, and have issued many verbal warnings as well as summonses to court. The judge of the court is Katherine Sanford; the prosecutor, Hugh Harris; and the clerk, Maynard Bryant. Out of approximately twenty-five cases, Prosecutor Harris has obtained a conviction in every one. The squad has had jurisdiction over the school and its entire grounds, and thus has supervised the direction of traffic and parking of automobiles on special occasions. Its members look forward to continuing their good work another year.

The Orchestra has gradually improved during the last few years, and. because of the present plan of encouraging Junior High School pupils to study an instrument, an even better orchestra is expected in succeeding years. WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL -10 K ' Letters from many European countries have kept the members of the Correspon¬ dence Club busier than ever this year! The increase of membership has necessarily afforded a larger mailing list than formerly, and, as a result, has provided the club members with many interesting individuals to write to. The club, under the supervision of Mr. James M. Robertson, not only corresponds with people of many lands, but also studies the customs, manners, and histories of these peoples; and, in so doing, hopes to obtain a better understanding of our foreign neighbors, and thus do a bit in forwarding international peace, The officers of the club are: President—Paul McCourt Vice-President—Henry Carman Secretary—Eileen Hartnett Treasurer—Anna Day CORRESPONDENCE CLUB Page 69 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL j n hci- ' JDK ' n s-Ti g « sa JUNIOR DRAMATIC CLUB The officers of the Junior Dramatic Club have been greatly responsible for the successful season of this club. They are: President—Virginia Ritchie Secretary—Margaret West Treasurer—Barbette Miller Chairman of the Entertainment Committee—Roderick Hamilton The club, before producing any complete plays, has practiced many things that, must be mastered before a finished production can be given, such as the use of correct English, clear enunciation, the ability to read well, and proper posture on the stage. The club has been under the direction of Miss Alice J. Macomber. Page 70 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SOPHOMORE DRAMATIC CLUB The Sophomore Dramatic Club, under the capable direction of Miss Helen Higgins, has studied many interesting phases of stage and theatrical life, as well as the art of voice culture. Plays have been read; students have been trained in extemporaneous speaking; and useful exercises purported to develop the speaking voice have been taught. The members of the club are extremely enthusiastic in the work of the club and feel that a great deal of benefit to themselves and theatrical knowledge has been obtained. The officers of the club are: President—Robert Kimnach Vice-President—Barbara Wheeler Secretary—John Marshall Treasurer—Anne Durgin Page 71 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL GERMAN CLUB The purpose of the German Club is to give its members an introduction to the German language and an understanding of its importance and of its basic principles. Monsieur Pulver, the instructor, has given enough vocabulary so that the members can recognize the close relationship of French, German, and English. He expects that by the end of the school year some of the pupils will be enabled to carry on simple conversations entirely in German. The club was formed because many of the students felt that the absence of Ger¬ man from the High School curriculum was a distinct loss. Realizing that it was an administrative impossibility to include such a course in the school program, Monsieur Pulver attempted, by the formation of the club, to meet in part the need for such a course in the language dcDartment. Page 72 WELLESLEY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page 73 PRACTICAL SCIENCE CLUB The elected officers of the Practical Science Club are: President—Frank Fair Secretary-Treasurer—Haig Nakashian The text book of this club is the “Popular Science Monthly,” and for every meet¬ ing, two boys investigate and make extensive reports to the club of articles from this magazine. An open forum is then held where every boy has an opportunity to in¬ crease his knowledge of practical science. A number of trips have been taken or planned, including visits to the North Packing Company Plant (where animals are made into sausages), the Edison Power Plant, and a Boston Television Studio. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The members of the Photography Club have been instructed in and have practiced developing, printing, micro-photography and enlarging, and one of their aims has been to foster general interest in photography throughout the school.
