It probably means little to you seniors that you are a MR. EDWIN H. MINER few among hundreds of thousands of new high school graduates through¬ out the United States. Maybe, if you will take the time to ask yourselves, What happens next?”, you will realize the magnitude of the problem facing universi¬ ties, colleges, vocational schools, business, industry and the farm to assimilate all the ambitious young men and women who are ready for the next step. There are bound to be disappointments for many individuals. Some do not gain admission to the college of their choice; others do not get the position for which they had hoped. In short, unexpected adjustments immediately face many of the nation’s high school graduates. Certainly one measure of a school’s success is the ability which its graduates manifest in anticipating, planning for, and working out new situations and problems. Therefore, whether your next step is your first choice or an alternative, we hope that you can face the challenge and make the personal adaptation neces¬ sary. Remember that ultimate success and happiness come to those who have learned to make best use of their natural capacities and their training. Also, remember that there is no royal road to happiness. Edwin H. Miner Superintendent of Schools In the final analysis, education in a democracy must have as its aims the develop¬ ment of character and habits of reflective thought. An individual who has com¬ pleted his secondary education without showing evidence of great improvement in these respects has made poor use of his opportunities. The moral character of the individuals determines the ideals of our civilization; the multitude of serious problems confronting our society can successfully be solved only by a citizenry capable of thinking intelligently and impartially. The extra-classroom activities featured in this Yearbook afford excellent training opportunities for such development. Each year more pupils are taking part in these activities; all may find increased growth ... MR. RALPH W. PROCTOR resulting from such co¬ operative group endeavors. Ralph W.

CLASS PROPHECY I, a wearied news correspondent, enter Grand Central Station to embark on my first vacation in six years. Equipped with a magazine and a copy of the latest best seller, Away With The Breeze,” autographed by its author, Marion Blood, I am fortified against boredom on my New England trip. I’ve sent my baggage to the Boston Limited whose engineer I learn is Tim Fisher. Knowing that my safe journey is assured, I sit down to wait the hour till train time. As I turn the first few pages of The New Yorker,” familiar names catch my eye and I find that Kenneth Munro, noted for his superb dishes, is chef at the Waldorf Astoria, with George Pilibosian as head waiter. Farther down the column I read that Edward Taylor’s internationally famous orchestra is playing at the Rainbow Room. He shares honors with Arthur Keylor, trumpeter, and John Alders, violin¬ ist. Frank Ravalli and lovely Doris Kirkham supply the vocalization in ultra-smart fashion. The many distractions of the Grand Central interrupt my reading. Directly in front of me is a man trying to keep a number of small boys together; Thomas Burleigh is too busy with his scout troop to stop for conversation. Remembering suddenly that I have no ticket, I go to the first ticket window and there stands Bob McNally, selling as many tickets for the railroad company as he sold for the class of ’37. Bob tells me that if I walk down the first tunnel I shall probably find some of our old friends. Turning to follow his suggestion, I notice a girl with a worried expression and two large suitcases labeled Shoe Stylist”; instantly I recognize her as Josephine Cavanagh. She stops at the desk marked Traveler’s Aid,” where Margaret Whelan is presiding in a pleasant, gracious manner and Betty Wilson gives prompt assistance that sends Josephine into a telephone booth so quickly that I can not catch her attention—and out from the next booth comes Amando Balboni, head linesman for the telephone company. At the switchboard nearby I see Frances Swan, successfully plugging the lines in and out. Her hair is beautifully waved and she tells me that Ruth Thistle’s beauty salon on Fifth Avenue is responsible for that. Just then a sweet voice falls on my ear, saying, Will you have a piece of gum?” I swing around to see in a big booth of the Wrigley Company little Anna Corazza. She has time to talk as usual and I learn that Catherine Maccini is the private secretary to Bill Allison, a prominent financier. Anna also tells me that Josephine Connors manages the office of the firm of Drury and Milanskas, Account¬ ants and Efficiency Experts. An attractive uniform draws my attention and there is Lena Grieco, airplane hostess, ready to take off for a coast-to-coast flight. A telegram is thrust into my hands and while I sign I discover under the Western Union cap, Kendall Kessener. Doris Loughrey is wiring me to attend an exhibition of her travel posters and Donald Smith’s imaginative illustrations at Rockefeller Center. Several bright posters in the station attract my attention. One shouts in glaring letters of the coming Indianapolis auto races and the expectation that Lightning Speed” Campana will win. Another announces a benefit exhibition of daring diving by Edna Fisher, soon to be held at the Boston Gardens. The names of these former classmates remind me that only this morning I wrote an article about a fellow graduate, the most famous woman diplomat of the day, Virginia May. An article by a fellow journalist, Dorothy Derby, is an excellent review of Betty Hanlon’s and Douglas Haward’s latest movie, Hula-Hula Dance.” She also highly praises the work of the two new comedians, Margaret DeLorie and Robert McEachern. To his witty queries in Scotch dialect all Margaret replies is Oh Boy!” The unusual lighting effects in the picture were created by Primo Egasti. Instead of staring stupidly at the posters and thinking about former classmates it would probably be a good idea for me to walk down the first tunnel where I may meet some of them. In¬ front of an exclusive little dress shop, owned by Katherine Smith and managed by Edith Mac¬ Kinnon, a crowd is collected. After a look in the window I think No wonder!” for an attrac- tive dark-haired, dark-eyed mannequin, Deborah Dey, is modeling a Barbara Wright linen dress topped with a beer jacket.” At the edge of the crowd I see Vincent Rogers who is thoughtfully murmuring to himself, Boy, wouldn’t she be a knock-out in my new musical comedy?” After the greetings are over Vinny suggests that we eat luncheon at The Spoon,” an attractive little tea room operated by Jean Stratton and Joan Lawrence. Our hostess tells.us that Martha Hanlon is successfully editing an Advice to the Lovelorn” column in a certain Boston newspaper, and that a few blocks away Forrest Trenholm manages the largest drug store in the city, which offers the special service of quick shaves by Edward Nahass. The lovely vases of flowers on the tables, they say, come from the Muriel Grant florist shop. Leaving the charming shop, we pass a newsstand where Frank Mastro is supervising the sale of papers and magazines. After buying a paper I bid good-bye to the honorable Mr. Rogers and board my train. From my window I see Claire vonAuw, the newly appointed representative to the League of Nations, boarding her train surrounded by well wishers and reporters. I settle comfortably in my seat as the train begins to move, one-half minute after schedule time, despite the combined efforts of Eleanor Manning and Theresa McCarthy, dispatchers of the Boston Limiteds. After Rufus Rogers, the conductor, collects my ticket I open two letters that have lain in my pocketbook since morning. The first is from Joan Young, superintendent of nurses at the new Wellesley Hospital. The eminent woman surgeon, Martha Wiswall, and the nose specialist, Ronald Sharpe, are prominent members of the staff. The patients’ diets are carefully prepared by Cora Webb. The other letter from that inquiring society reporter, Irene Abraham, has more news. Mary Bryan, the rising society leader, will soon give a tennis party where an exhibition match will be played by the women’s champion, Barbara Hayman. The lead in Vincent Club’s next production, written by the new president, Daisey LeBeau, will be played by Elizabeth Paramino. The summer music festival which is sponsored by the wealthy young sportsman. Freeman Graves, stars Sara Libbey, the brilliant opera star, and Richard McCourt, a golden-voiced tenor. Irene tells me that the season’s debutantes are being finished at Julie Spring’s School for Young Ladies where Dorothy Rushforth teaches the elements of English grammar. At the newsstand I bought also a copy of Esquire” and the latest pocket digest, The Critic’s Book,” edited by Barbara White. In The Critic’s Book” are three articles of especial interest. One written by Margaret Fortini is a favorable review of Betty Lane’s new travel book and an announcement of Theodore Hanks’s dictionary which Margaret says surpasses Webster’s. The. second article by Elizabeth Maxwell states her views on jazz” and the third by Hazel Shattuck denounces the methods of John Terrio, the political boss of the East side. Esquire” is always interesting because of the clever cartoons penned by Leonard Gorman and the fashions created by George Neice and Arthur Johnson, the well-known dictators of styles for men. In this issue also is an article on The Art of Wrestling” by John Gorman. I see that Betty Hill, one of New York’s finest interior decorators, has a very clever plan for a bachelor’s penthouse. On the opposite page the garden designed by Thomas Trears suggests Maine woods. Only yesterday some one told me that Esquire” is hitting a new peak in circulation because of the high-pressure salesmanship of Elmer Tinkham. In one advertisement Charles Todesco, the expert cigarette taster, Edward Thibault, the flying Frenchman, and Vernon Smith, the airplane designer, maintain that Thomasfields” are the cigarette. Another ad advocates George Dreher’s Escort Bureau for lonely strangers of the weaker sex visiting New York. Either the president or the most popular escort, Mitchell Trefry, is always sure to please, states the ad. Saks’ suggest that a gentleman see Barbara Holman, their novelty buyer, before choosing a gift for a lady. The article Why I Started A Home For Good-Looking Bachelors” by Polly Neice fully explains the advantages of such an institution. The train is stopping and I get out to buy a Boston newspaper. Standing there on the plat¬ form, trying to control triplets is—Paul Havenstein. From him I learn more about the graduates of ’37. Arthur Marsh has created an excellent game called Fun for the Kiddies,” and each night Everett Longson publishes a Br’er Rabbit Story” in the paper. At the Copley Plaza, Paul says, Marshall Perrin thoroughly enjoys his new position as food taster. I also learn that Mr. Upham has willingly entrusted the care of the students of problems in democracy to the new professor, John Glorioso. Quite overcome by this bit of news and the antics of the triplets, I feel I must seek my seat and peruse a quiet newspaper. But the headlines blaze with the controversy raging in the Senate Chambers before Senator Matthew Ryan and W.P.A. Administrator Frank Villa. Also on the front page are two stirring feature stories; one by Bill Scannell, the Old Ranger himself; the other entitled How I Do It” by that cocky top sergeant, Steve Hoyte. The sporting page states that archery teams will compete in the Olympics for the first time through the efforts of a certain feminine Robin Hood, Betty Rounsefell, and that the United States woman’s baseball team is captained by Mary Rose. It seems that George Kerivan and Bill Jarvis are worrying the sports writers, for they belong to rival baseball clubs and as the ability of both men is exceptional, the pennant winner cannot be predicted. One article informs me that Bob Babbitt has won the world’s bowling championship, and I read that Donald Cooley’s new ice boat will be given a trial run at Morse’s Pond this winter. Filene’s store announces that the famous dog manicurist, Evelyn Garland, will be in its beauty salon this week to give milady assistance in the selection of the correct color scheme for her dog’s toenails. In the children’s department Virginia Linden, the well-known child psycholo¬ gist, advises worried mothers to select Shirley Temple dresses for problem children. On the radio page I notice more familiar names. At S:00 Mary Donovan will give tired house¬ wives tomorrow’s luncheon menu. Professor Alden Tedford will lecture about the future of the Model T Ford at 8:00 with Emera Kingsbery supplying all sound effects. At 9:00 Snap” Sellers will give Mr. and Mrs. United States some startling news; later on. Bill Nutting will inform all listeners that Indian River oranges and the simonizing job done on his bicycle by Dwight Wood- worth were the main factors which enabled him to win the six-day bicycle race. On the same program Virginia Zani will outline her bicycle tours and suggest that people like the Wellesley football coach, George Canfield, and his recent bride, use a bicycle instead of an Austin on their honeymoon. Next is presented the last of a series of vocational talks by Ralph Eiland; in discuss¬ ing Embalming and Funeral Service as a Profession” he will point with pride to the success of his silent partner, James Brown. At midnight the Crime Club dramatizes another experience in the life of Victor Smith, chief of the G-men. Under the Wellesley notes I find that John and Thomas Driscoll have received the town con¬ tract for trucking. Margaret Carpenter is chosen by Miss Bailey as her assistant at Wellesley High and under her name is a list of her achievements at Sargent’s school where she trained. That great ranchman, Dick Downs, and the best cowboy in the hills, Walter Lawson, have arrived in town to see the bright lights once more. Harriet Belt has just received the appointment as librarian of the State House. On the editorial page Allen Bush, the country’s best economist, is guest writer on Monopolies.” Bill Crandell, the regular feature writer, presents an interesting analysis of tech¬ nological unemployment,” which happily enough seems not to have affected the class of 1937.

If all goes well, the Class of ’39 will be the first to graduate from the new school. To the present juniors will go the honor of being the last class to graduate from the old building. All of this leaves the seniors out in the cold—the Forgotten Class. We can remember our Grammar School days. Four and five y£ars ago we heard rumblings and rumors about the town. The news travelled around that the old building was no longer suited to its purpose and that the citizens were going to take immediate action and provide us with a new one. We smiled and said optimistically to one another, Are we lucky! We’re going to have a new school! Yeh Team! Oh Boy! Goody goody!” As sophomores, we entered the old portals on Kingsbury Street, dis¬ appointed, but not without hope. There was still the chance that the next town meeting would act favorably. Yes, there was the chance. The only outcome of this meeting was that we entered the old portals again as juniors. At this point, we could all have been classed as calloused cynics. 7 AND THE NEW Our spirits ebbed low. For us there would never be a new school; for us there would never be anything. But now, as we dash out of the old portals for the last time, we can run down the street a few blocks farther and see the new school rise. We can stand by that hole in the Hunnewell swamp and jealously vision the fine new building which will soon stand there. Sophomores—you will be among the first to christen this new High School. As the seniors of that first student body it is your duty to store up now all that is finest and best about the old Gamaliel Bradford Senior High School and to carry it with you when you move to that new location. Juniors—remember that clothes do not make the man and that the school building does not alter the educational effectiveness of an institu¬ tion. We seniors have been taught much with the available facilities; you can be taught just as much if you will make the best of them too. At last, at last, we take our leave; There’s just one thing that makes us grieve, We were too soon by just two years, We go, as that new school appears. AS THE TEACHERS SEE US The Class of 1937 ' buzzes’ more than most seniors.” Miss Macomber You members of the graduating class have had an opportunity to acquire the information and the inspiration which you can use in helping to rebuild a threatened social order. You may create a new security, new foundations of happiness—a great opportunity and a profound responsibility. Have you all made the most of this opportunity? Have you all accepted the responsibility? This is the last test I shall give you.” E. F. U. The girls are charming, The boys are clever; My association with them A joy forever!” Miss Costello Sometimes judicious, often capricious, occasionally ambitious, but never malicious—1937.” Mr. Jewell Seniors and science are like oil and water. Considerable soap is needed to make them mix.” Mr. Buck 1937, with all your arguments I like you still.” Miss Bronson Class of 1937: I have been asked to write my opinion of your class. I throw the invitation back at each of you. How much progress have the members of your class made developing character and independent thought? The rating of your class rests on this test.” Mr. Proctor W I C ! , ... . 57 u.. v 9 i nv f Hi i mi K warn .. THE JUNIOR CLASS The class of ’3 8 feels it has gone one step higher on the scholastic ladder. But before ascending higher it might be well to pause and submit a report of the many activities in which it has taken part this year. The Junior Class entered the High School in September with one year of experience to its credit. Its members entered into the spirit of the school and took part in the various activities. The class as a whole entered into their studies with great enthusiasm. Many of the students were on the B” Honor Roll consistently. Twostudents, Malcolm Jewell and Lucille Charron, were elected to the Wellesley Chapter of the National Honor Society. The Junior Class wishes to extend its congratulations to them. It is said that the junior year is the hardest academically. However, many of its members this year found time for other activities. Among the outside activi¬ ties the play Apple Blossom Time,” presented by the Dramatic Club, was received with outstanding appreciation by all those who attended. Among the members of its cast were the following juniors: Ellen Brown, Kenneth Jones, Alice Buck, Alice Maulsby, Herbert Greenhalgh, and Leonard Donahue. In the annual amateur night, old faithful” Selene Harmon again won a prize. The big event of the year was the Junior Prom, successfully conducted by a committee composed of class officers and two fellow classmates, Griffith Jones, and Frances Drummond. This year as always there was a great showing in the field of sports. Many juniors were on hand to answer the call for practice. Captain-elect Wally Kent did his share to make the team a success. The other members of the class to receive letters in football were Kenneth Anderson, Irving LeBeau, and Dan Shea. George Sims received a letter for his service on the cross country team. George Gan and Norman Rau held the forward positions on the basketball team. These two boys, together with Wally Kent and Arthur Snow, received letters. Captain-elect Edward Barry was the outstanding member of the class hockey this year. If Eddie keeps it up he and Wally Kent will be the only three-letter men” that the class can boast of. Gerald Murray received honorable mention in hockey this year. The sports activity of the class was supported by the girls. Eleanor Brown, Delpha Corazza, Harriet Ryan and Barbara Wilson, received letters in field hockey and basketball. Dorothy Parmenter was class basketball manager. Thus, the school year 1936-37 comes to a close. We have had many difficul¬ ties this year (Mr. Robertson’s F” periods and Mr. Upham’s history classes) ; however, we feel that we have established many friendships in our class and in the course of these two years we have become well acquainted with the faculty. We sincerely hope that the one remaining year will be a successful conclusion to those which we have spent at the Gamaliel Bradford Senior High School. 6f61 IO SSV 1 ) SOPHOMORE CLASS Howard Oedel President Gloria May .. Vice-President Martha Elliott ..... Secretary David Bernard . + T Treasurer High school presents a somewhat more difficult problem to the sophomores than it does to the upper classmen. We were first confronted with not only different surroundings and personnel, but also a new method of education. During the years 1936-37, the sophomore class has adapted itself to the high school curricula and has played an important part in all the school activities. The B” honor roll has been constantly studded with names of sophomores, and Bradley Patterson has several times attained the A” honor roll. Our class has shown much interest in all school activities and several of its members have carried off honors in football, soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball, cross country, tennis and golf. The Dramatic Club play, amateur night, the orchestra and band have also received our enthusiastic support. This first year has brought us satisfaction and enjoyment not only in our activities, studies, and sports, but also in lasting friendship. During the next two years may we continue to have the success and fun we have experienced in 1936-37.

The team, when the averages of Class C teams of the state had been found, finished in third place. Captained by George Canfield, the team worked together as a unit, and, though it had such stars as Bill Jarvis, George Dreher, John Glorioso, Cap¬ tain Canfield, and Wally Kent, the team as a whole was better to watch. Most of the credit is due to Coach McNamara, whose trick plays, passes, and line bucks had the crowd on its feet, and the opponents on their ears. Owing to the successful season, it was decided that all senior lettermen should get sweaters and letters. Those who received sweaters were: Captain Canfield, George Keri- van, John Gorman, Marshall Perrin, Bill Allison, William Scanned, Paul Fisher, Richard Downs, George Dreher, John Glorioso, Ken¬ neth Anderson, Bill Jarvis, Kendall Kessener, Richard McCourt. Those who received letters but because they were not seniors were not given sweaters were: Captain-elect Kent, Dan Shea, Ted Holmes, Irving LeBeau, Arthur Keylor, and Manager John Sullivan. The hopes for the next season are high, with Captain Kent leading the boys on the field and Bob McNamara coaching them, we should have another successful season. Scores Bridgewater 13-6 Lexington 0-6 Natick 6—3 3 Walpole 0-39 Concord 0-32 Milton 6-19 Northbridge 14-7 Winchester 0-16 Needham 12-13 Hockey Steel blades on fast arena ice, and steel blades on choppy ice at Diehl’s Pond, carried the members of the ice hockey squad through a most successful season. From a group of more than thirty boys who reported to Coach Robertson at the begin¬ ning of the year, a squad was selected from which the teams were formed. Out of seventeen games g played the team lost four, tied three, and won ten. The team was able to survive through the Bay State League games until it was finally defeated by Waltham, leaving it in second place. The greatest victory was that over Needham. Here, as in most of the games, the deft carrying of the puck by Captain Garron and the accurate shots of Sharpe and Barry overwhelmed the opponent. George Dreher was the star defense man who prevented many an onslaught upon the Wellesley goal. Eddie Nahass as goalie pre¬ vented many seemingly unavoidable goals. Trenholm, Downs, Mc- Court, Keylor, and others were prominent in the games. Mr. Rob¬ ertson, in recognition of the superiority of his coaching of the Wellesley team, was appointed coach of one of the league All-Star Teams. Edward Barry, Edward Nahass, George Dreher, and Ernest Garron were chosen for the All-Star Teams. A successful season seems to have been indicated by the satisfaction of the school, the town, and the members of the team. Scores Mt.

Not many boys were lost from last year and Wellesley looks forward to a very successful season. This year we are represented in the Bay State League. The team has already won four games as this paper goes to press. The team was dealt a blow when Ronald Sharpe, a crack shortstop, and Mitchell Trefry, the first string catcher, were hurt. Coach Goodnough has a large squad, however, and good substitutes are plentiful. The following are members of the team: Edward Nahass, captain; George Kerivan, William Crandell, William Jarvis, Ronald Sharpe, Robert Nelson, Norman Rau, George Gan, Dan Shea, Forrest Trenholm, George Dreher, Edward Barry, Vincent Rogers, Edward Lupien, Mitchell Trefry and Frank Mastro. A group of promising sophomores who will be around for next season are: Edward Lupien, Harrison Rogers, and Paul Mitchell. Coach: Harold Goodnough. Manager: George Pilibosian. Assistant Manager: Lawrence Balboni. k The track team for 1937 is now well under way under the direction of Mr. Raymond Chap¬ man. Last year’s star miler, Leonard Gorman, is manager. It is difficult to build a team this year because of the loss of nearly all of last year’s point winners. Leonard Gorman, Ed¬ ward Thibault, Roger Hodgson, Hector Mar- chetti, Kenneth Anderson, Emera Kingsbery, Arthur McCourt, and Captain-elect Norman Lowell have graduated, left school, or are ineligible because of the age rules. Arthur Keylor and John Sullivan, who accounted for three out of the two hundred and fifty-four points scored last year, are the only remaining point men. Among the most promising candidates are William Allison, George Sims, and John Gorman. The running events should be well cared for this year, but the jumps and sprints will require much building. In the shot put Wellesley will be represented by Arthur Keylor and John Gorman. The 1937 track team is completely new and inexperienced, but shows promise in the number of sophomores and junior candidates who should develop later. Basketball The basketball team rests on the laurels of eleven victories and seven losses. Coached by Mr. Snow and managed by John Glorioso, the enthusiastic team can well be proud of its season. The team’s members were: Captain and Center—John Kerivan Left guard—William Jarvis and Wallace Kent Right guard—Mitchell Trefry Left forward—George Gan and William Crandell Right forward—Norman Rau The prospects for next year’s season are very promising. Gross Country The cross country team under the coaching of Mr. Chapman developed one of the best run¬ ners of New England in Captain Leonard Gor¬ man, undefeated for the season. Gorman broke three course records showing great speed and endurance in each of his efforts. A winning combination was broken up at the beginning of the season by two injuries, but despite this handicap the squad worked hard, with genuine spirit, and really received great satis¬ faction for their efforts. The large number of remaining sopho¬ mores and juniors indicates good possibilities for next year with George Sims as 1937 Captain-elect. Tennis The prospects for this year’s tennis team and also next year’s team are unusually favorable. The fact that this year’s team is the greater part of last year’s, and is made up of all juniors, gives us good reason to be optimistic. The members of the team include Donald Stearns, Teddy Crafts, Willard Nicholl and Robert Bruster. The number one post will be filled probably an even number of times by Stearns or Nicholl. Crafts is sure of three and Bruster is our fourth man. The team is looking forward to the Interscholastics during the middle of May. Our regular schedule takes in Norwood, South High, Worcester; Marlboro, Newton Country Day, and Need¬ ham. Mr. Jewell, our faculty manager, has received many re¬ quests for matches from schools from all parts of the State, but due to the already completed schedule, it is impossible to fulfill them. The 1937 golf team, under the able coaching of Mr. Snow, looks forward to a very successful season. The team, a member of the Bay State League, has already won its first game at Marlboro. They have the kind permission of the Wellesley Country Club to use its links for practice every Wednesday and Thursday morn¬ ing, and for home matches. The members of the team are: Arthur Snow, Kendall Kes- sener, Frank Holmes, John Sides, John Driscoll, David Stuart, Ted Hanks, Preston Wilson, and William Crandell. The soccer team had a good season with high scores and few losses. Some outstanding players were: Captain —Victor Smith Goal —Vincent Rogers Back field —Ronald Sharpe and Forrest Trenholm Wings —Edward Tribault and Victor Smith Center —William Nutting The team was coached by Mr. Snow. The J. V. baseball team, coached by Mr. Bragdon, has made a good start on the way to a successful season. Three games have been played; the first, with Newton, was a tie game 3 to 3. The other two games were with Dover, in each of which Wellesley was victorious, with scores of 13 to 3 and 13 to 6. The team practices regularly at Hunnewell Field. i ' ■! i Rigj ' � 1 « Ml J IZljZA Bg Jr |9 � ;:; 1 1 The enthusiasts for baseball this year are numerous, especially among juniors and seniors. Although no games have been played as yet, the skill of the girls makes us hope for a successful season. The team is under the leadership of Marion Blood, Captain. The managers are Lois Newton and Dorothy Parmenter. There are to be four games played; two at home, and two away, with Lexington and Concord as our opponents. Archery is a sport which has become more and more popular each year in this school. The girls are very fortunate in having such good equipment and in having Betty Rounsefell as captain this year. There are two groups of archers this season, the skilled and the beginners. Meets have been planned with Waltham for seniors and juniors together, and for the sophomores. As there are many girls from last year’s group, we expect a successful season. The girls’ tennis team of 1937 is being coached by Miss Bailey and Miss Russell of Wellesley College. About thirty-eight girls have turned out for practice, and we think that we stand a good chance against our opponents. Although Barbara Wright is the only letter girl left from last year, the coaches have succeeded in choosing a strong team to play its first game. There are two tennis groups, one composed of beginners who are desirous of learning how to play. They are taught the correct way to hold the racquet, the serve, the forehand stroke and the backhand stroke. The other group is of advanced players who will probably play in most of the games.

At the induction the four ideals of the society were interpreted as follows: Scholarship—achievement and logical reasoning. Service—readiness to participate in and eager effort to promote the school standards. Leadership—evidence of initiative, poise, and working activity. Character—all that you do and all that you are. The Student Council has transacted much business of importance during 1936-37. Some of the outstanding items which this body has settled were the awarding of athletic letters, the band concert, the traffic squad, amateur night program, and the school party. The officers of the council are: President — George Dreher Recording Secretary — Virginia May Corresponding Secretary — Martha Wiswall j m That unconquerable little group of musicians composing the orches¬ tra held forth in the girls’ lunchroom every Thursday. We were seriously handicapped by a poor piano, bad accoustical surround¬ ings, and an insufficient number and variety of instruments. The few public appearances that we made were well received, thanks to the capable and efficient leadership of Mr. Perry. The musicians who survived to the finish were: Piano —Marilyn Morse and Lucille Charron. Violin —Alice Crandell, Margaret de La Vin, Ed¬ ward Taylor, and Jack Alders. Cello —William Crandell. Trumpet —Arthur Keylor, Bob Babbitt, Edward Lup- ien, and Robert Nelson. Clarinet —Lincoln Nutting, Donald Henderson, and David Jealous. Flute — Wally” Frazee. Trombone —Paul Havenstein. Drum —Gordon Plummer. Next year should see a fine orchestra if the sophomores are musically inclined. The school band is one of our musical organizations which has been gaining ground rapidly this year with our capable leader, Mr. Perry, at the helm. Thanks to our principal, Mr. Proctor, we have had several new instruments added this year. The band has played at many of the football games and at the football rally, just previous to the Needham game. Band members are: Virginia May Gloria May Doris Loughrey Robert Nelson Edward Lupien Arthur Keylor Alton Tyler Paul Havenstein Robert Babbitt Louise Cheever David Jealous Lincoln Nutting David Bernard Donald Henderson Raymond Frazee George Neice Robert Smith William Crandell Gordon Plummer Edward Taylor John Sullivan David Pohl Among the rapidly progressing organizations in Wellesley High, the Glee Clubs, along with the rest of the musical program, are speedily becoming recognized, under the leadership of Amy Young Burns, Dirctor of Music in the Wellesley schools. In spite of a lack of time, space, and previous experience, these groups have made remarkable progress in the study and appreciation of music. The Glee Club and the Saturday morning choirs (which consist of students manifesting such interest that they come for extra training), with Mss Mildred Precious as accompanist and Miss Signe Pearson as business adviser, have now begun to show the results of the faithful work put into them by their members. The chief project of the groups this year was the Christmas Cantata, received with such enthusiasm that it was presented twice, and led to requests for other public appearances. Dramatic Club Love and hate, happiness and sorrow, comedy and tragedy, and every other emotion that is possible for the high school student to enact upon the stage, have been the key words of the dramatic society’s success this current year. There have been skits, one-act plays, and short dramatizations that have occupied a great portion of the time of each club period. However, the crowning achieve¬ ment of the society this year was the production and presentation of the three act comedy by Eugene Hafer, Apple Blossom Time.” The romantic and comic situations, as well as the tantrum scenes, kept the audience interested from start to finish. The play was presented at the Annie F. Warren School auditorium on April ninth. The club members wish, at this time, to extend their heartiest thanks to all those people who helped to make the presntation a success. At the time this article goes to press, the club members are working on three one-act plays, affording a part for each member at some future date. The plays are: The Tantrum,” Who Kissed Barbara?” and Business and So Forth.” Members of the club, which has been under the direction of James M. Rob¬ ertson are: Ellen Brown, Dorothy Bell, John Mitchell, Kenneth Jones, Arthur Johnson, Herbert Greenhalgh, Adele Digani, Martha Elliott, Martha Hanlon, Leonard Donahue, Burton Edwards, Alice Maulsby, Howard Oedel, Alice Buck, Florence Fisher, James Lucas, Audrey Anderson, Elinor Fair, Dorothy Higgins and Clarinda Temple. Knitting Club President —Sally Smith Secretary —Helen Proctor This club, sponsored by Miss Taylor, has enabled the girls to attain speed and accuracy in knitting. The group of about twenty-five have made many useful garments, such as socks, mittens, sweaters, skirts, and bathing suits. The mem¬ bers have enjoyed the club and wish to join again next year. Early in September a petition was circulated to which twenty boys readily at¬ tached their signatures for the organization of an athletic club. Due to the wide¬ spread popularity won by this club the previous year, the enrollment is now well over fifty members. Under the efficient instruction of Mr. Snow, the club has progressed rapidly. Football, basketball, and baseball were not only the major activities, but were supplemented by boxing, wrestling, and swimming, in which each member enthusiastically took part. Ha rmonica Club The objective of the club is to get from instruments that come to hand, some enjoyment, both for ourselves and for any others who may care for it. The instruments and their players are: Accordions: George Spring, Charles McCabe Guitar: Douglas Haward Flntophone, orchcstrcria, harmonica: Donald Cooley Banjo: Miles Robinson Harmonicas: Malcolm Jewell, Donald Cooley, Frank Garron, George Pilibosian, Kenneth Anderson, Guilo DiGiandomenico, George MacLean, Edmund Campana. The club has played in ministrel shows given at Wellesley by the Village Churchmen, and at the Annie F. Warren School. An assembly, the American Legion, and amateur night also saw them. Prizes were won by the two club groups who were in amateur night. Besides our regular instrumental work, much amusement has been had from the singing of Frank Garron and the whistling of Edmund Campana. This club, sponsored by Miss Bronson, was formed so that pupils not taking the business course might have an opportunity to learn a form of short-hand for note-taking. The members have made much progress in the writing and reading of this speedwriting which has proven to be very useful to them. A supplement to this organization is the typewriting club, consisting of about twenty members, under the able direction of Miss Bronson. We have learned the fingering and the location of the keys and with a little more prac¬ tice we shall have acquired some skill. The members are unanimous in agreeing that the typing club not only has been a valuable addition to their school work but also has given them much enjoyment. One of the most promising of the institutions recently organized here in the high school is the Debating Team. This consisted of nine or ten boys, who have willingly convened once a week after school, during the winter months. Under the excellent sponsorship of Mr. J. P. Jewell, of the Latin Department, and the as¬ sisting management of Bradley Patterson, the founder, the team has made real progress. During the sessions, extemporaneous debates are held, peremptory parlia¬ mentary procedure is maintained, and criticisms and comments are made by the sponsor. This year’s season was effectively climaxed by the presentation of a debate in assembly, with members of the faculty as judges. The subject was Prohibition of Immigration; and, although the affirmative side won, all viewpoints were equally broadened. Next year, the team looks forward to a greater membership, out-of-town competition, and more honor to their Wellesley High School. President —Bill Allison Secretary —George Neice Treasurer —Arthur Keylor The Slide Rule Club was organized with about twenty members to learn how to multiply and divide, find powers and roots, and trigonometric functions on a slide rule. Since multiplication and division constitute ninety per cent of the use of a slide rule in practice, nearly all of the time was spent on these two processes, both in the abstract and with practical applications. The large demonstration slide rule which hung above the front blackboard was a valuable supplement to the small ten-inch rules which most of the boys purchased. This year is the first time separate craft clubs for boys and girls have been or¬ ganized in the high school. These groups have been very successful and much has been accomplished under the guidance of their sponsor, Miss Fader. The clubs meet weekly—first period on Wednesday and Friday mornings— and within their small craft-room everything from rings to sandals can be, and is produced at a very reasonable cost. This club offers an opportunity for craft work to those who are not able to attend regular craft classes and has provided its members with fun as well as worth-while results of handicraft. Realizing the ever-increasing problem of the highways, this club of forty mem¬ bers was formed with Mr. Goodnough as the adviser to familiarize each indi¬ vidual with the local, state, and national automobile laws and to understand more about the present automobile. Man and the Motor Car,” the official pamphlet of the Massachusetts Motor Vehicle Laws, and several publications on accident data have been read and dis¬ cussed. Several of the club members have obtained licenses during the winter and on each occasion have reported to the group on the questions asked, the type of driving test, and their reactions. We feel that we have helped to make Wellesley a safer driving community. Sopho more President: Eleanor Malaguti Secretary: Josephine Cogan Treasurer: Anastasia Harunk junior and Senior Agnes Ferioli Elinor Fair Eleanor Brown In these clubs sponsored by Miss Regan, we learned modern ballroom dan¬ cing. We began with lessons in walking gracefully. Then we learned the simple fox trot, and the plain waltz. After we could dance these two steps, we prac¬ ticed the more difficult steps in the Four Hundred, the Grapevine, and the Hesitation Waltz. With the money each member contributed as dues, we bought many new dance records. An outing in which all members participated brought the enjoyable times we spent in these clubs to an end. International Relations Club President: Arthur Johnson Vice-President: Daniel Shea Secretary-Treasurer: Frances Drummond The International Relations Club, sponsored by Mr. Upham and under the di¬ rection of the above officers, held its meeting each Friday. As arranged by the program committee, topics of interest were prepared by club members in the form of short talks and were followed by open discussions. The organization was fortunate in having interesting guest speakers on the Cooperative Movement and on the Spanish situation. In conjunction with Wel¬ lesley College an assembly program was presented. v. v TIME 1. September 9—School began From heaven to . . . 2.

The present is governed by the past, and the future by the present, and down through a thousand ages man has dreamed and remembered. They told me when I was little that memory opened like a flower, sun-pied and delicate; and i believed them. A flower?—what flower has honey and bitterness to offer? What flower can wither a thousand times and bloom a thousand more? What flower can paint pictures—vivid, living scenes—and sing songs—mad, lilting songs, to the tune of life? Memory is not so fragile nor so delicate as a flower. I stood on a street corner in Chicago once, with a friend, and an old colored man walked by—so tired—so hungry. I hate colored people,” she said, and I opened my mouth to say, You should love all men,” and I closed it again. Hypocrite!” I told myself. For I hate: I hate the women with pasty faces and lipstick, who have international-relationships clubs, and pass the man on the street corner haughtily. I hate the darlings of society who give a charity ball and spend a hundred dollars on a gown to wear. I hate the ladies in fancy hats, who sit knitting stupid sweaters, while over their heads someone is knitting poetry of hunger and park benches and winter nights and plows and prairies—and they are blank. They knit as the women at the guillotine, counting the dropping heads and not caring. I remember once a moon in Minnesota that waxed still and fragrant and silvered the world. The same moon was silvering the tops of the tenement houses in New York; and a dirty squalling baby was crying, afraid of its weird light. When I am grown I will do great things and people will hate me as I have hated. I will purge the blood-stains of a century with my pen, and I will never die; just as Lincoln and before him Jesus of Nazareth did not die. Now 1 am a coward; then I shall be unafraid because. I believe in myself. Dreams and memory—and memory the dearer of the two. For dreams, unborn and unbegot, must wait; but memory can stay, and come like a rich jewel out of the night, to keep me company. I have seen young deer come to drink at quiet pools. I have heard wild birds cry out in the darkness. I have seen tall pines take communion with the stars. And 1 have known God. But these are dreams, and I am young. I am walking through paths where inconsistency is my signpost. Adolescence, and with it, jewelry, and love. These, like the garments of night, may be cast off and new dawn put on. And memory—this will be always with me. I will pass on and on into the vague future, and though I possess it not, the past will always be mine. At the finger tips of reverie I will hold a thousand echoes—echoes of the things 1 have loved, families and friends, dogs and horses, and dancing and boys—tall, broad-shouldered intelligent creatures—that gave me a world of joy. Always in the palm of my hand the common things, to turn over and over, to fondle in ecstasy. A child in a white nightie that was my sister. They said she would be like me—God forbid! I remember a fire-lit room and young clear voices singing songs from Shakespeare and haunting carols—concerts and David Copperfield and a French governess—people and places 1 shall never see again once I have taken up the task that is before me; yet they are mine to remember. Dreams and memory—but memory the dearer of the two; for dreams, unborn and unbegot, must wait. Ellen Brown ’38 THE ROLLING MILL by Bill Allison Rrrbang! - bang! bang! - clang! - rrbang! Rolling and roaring and crashing and smashing ; Grinding the ore in the kiln. Tough rock resisting; hard steel persisting, turning the ore to dust. Rushing water in metal sluices, staccato thumps from nervous screeners; like the rattle of battle, the tramping of cattle, shaking and sifting the dust. Clatter of heels on iron stairways; throbbing of engines, Laboring engines, engines that chaff and puff. Rumble and grumble and stumble of carts, moving the stuff away.
