2 ■ y£r m THE WELLESLEYAN 1938 THE SENIOR CLASS Under the Supervision THE YEARBOOK COMMITTEE Yl iss icjne f earion In recognition of her cheerful and efficient adminis¬ tration of the large and small tasks connected with school life, and her unceasing devotion to the welfare of all classes, we, the Class of 1938, dedicate this, the eighth issue of the Wellesleyan. 4 w HAT is the result when a school moves into a new plant? Certainly, the physical conditions will have a stimulating effect upon the student body and teachers; will provide opportunities for an in¬ creased program; will lead to improved teaching; and will also, no doubt, encourage a larger en¬ rollment. However, there is a cerlain intangible quality which I sincerely hope will also be af¬ fected by the physical change. May we hope that each class that goes into this new building will feel the challenge of increasing loyalty to a splen¬ did plant, a greater spirit of cooperation, and a finer expression of wholesome interest in learn¬ ing, developing, and growing! Edwin H. Miner, Superintendent of Schools. The main value of the Yearbook is in the presen¬ tation of the history of the school for the year. It summarizes the extra-classroom activities which have contributed so greatly to the personal de¬ velopment of those who have taken part in them. Each year these activities increase in number and importance, reflecting and cultivating many diverse interests. Through this Yearbook undergraduate interest should be aroused and maintained, seniors will value its record through the coming years as a medium for renewing memories of happy days and associations. May their futures contain many more opportunities for engaging in similar activi¬ ties in the larger life of the community. Ralph W. Proctor, Principal. 7 Jn yfjemoriam In the passing of Miss Bailey we lost not only a cheer¬ ful and conscientious teacher of high ideals, but also a fine friend whose memory we shall cherish for her interest and faith in others, her sincerity in counsel, and her joy in living a life of service.

The firm is offering a reward to the first person who dares to cross. COMPRESSED AIR AUTO COMPLETED The new compressed air auto, invented by the Jewell Spurr Manufacturing Co., will be demonstrated at the Narra- gansett Race Track tomorrow. Mr. Jewell says he never could have done it without a thorough grounding in Latin. Mr. Spurr contends that he never could have done it with a thorough grounding in Latin. DARING ROBBERY ATTEMPTED Residents of the quiet little town of Hicky, Wyoming, were in a state of ex¬ citement today after the cowboy-Indian bandit, Mark McNeil, staged a daring, single-handed robbery at the Worrick Fish Drug Store. The robber, clad only in a pair of shorts and moccasins, was BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 29 armed with a bow and arrows. Wiggett, Topham, and Mears, the Hicky police force, have begun an investigation. COLLAPSES OVER INCOME TAX Recovering from a collapse suffered while making his income tax returns, the mathematical genius and discoverer of the fourth dimension, Howard Evans, sailed today with his nurse, Agnes Ferioli, for an extended trip to Europe. $100,000 RANSOM ASKED Contact with the kidnappers of the Voice of the People representative, Lois Newton, reveals their demand of $100,000 or else. A town-wide investiga¬ tion reveals that lecturer Newton was last seen by Robert Donahue, janitor at the new Huntington Library, where she was talking to Helen Taplin, head librarian, and her two assistants, Kath¬ erine McDermott and Minna Blackler. GIRLS PERFORM RESCUE Hearing cries for help, Eleanor Brown and Delpha Corazza, popular swimming instructors, left their pupils and plunged through the rough waters to the victim, Guilio. After bringing the unconscious form to shore, the girls immediately applied artificial respiration. Relieving the girls, firemen John Meloni and Vin¬ cent Borgatti administered aid with an inhalator. Still unconscious, Mr. DiGian- domenico was taken to the Newton Hos¬ pital where he was placed under the expert observation of Dr. David Stewart and nurses Sally Smith and Henny Proctor. SOCIETIES HOLD BANQUET The annual banquet of International Relations Societies was held at the Hotel Ritz last night. Alice Kavanagh, presi¬ dent of the local society, quoted at length from NEW POLICIES written by Frances Drummond, with statistics com¬ piled by Marilyn Morse and illustrations bv George McLean and Margaret O ' Connor. At the head table were Egasti and Donahue, the publishers, and Burton Edwards, Mary Zani, and Luciile Char- ron, who have recently returned from a convention at Geneva, Switzerland. BOAT TO BE CHRISTENED Tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. the christening of the world ' s fastest ship (it ' s been fast to the dock for twenty years) built by Gerald Murray will take place. Attending the christening will be Barbara McCor¬ mick who will do the honors, Captain Elton McCabe, Mervyn Allen, first mate, and co-Commanders William Rainsford and Tony Indresano. TEACHERS ATTEND CONVENTION At the annual teachers ' convention in Atlantic City last week, the delegates combined business with pleasure. Among the delegates were Harriet Ryan, Bar¬ bara Wilson, Dorothy Parmenter, Jean Fisher, physical education instructors; Evangeline McDonald, business teacher; Ma rion Beadle, art director; Elliott Hayden, well known authority on child psychology; and Virginia Smith, social worker. While there the teachers were called upon to aid in rescuing garments from the MacDaniel-Sullivan Gown Shop which caught fire from a nearby res¬ taurant owned by Rita Carmen. ‘The fire was caused, says Chef Charles Johnson, “by faulty gas jets. At the Atlantic City Country Club, the teachers were entertained by a style show. Latest coiffure arrangements, originated by Tillie (Schiavina) of the Higgins and Higgins Beauty Shop, were displayed. The neatest and most popular of these styles was the Page Boy dis¬ played by Alice Buck. Clothes designed by Nancy Hunter and Jean Ellis were modeled by Marjorie Lane, Bette Day, Natalie Plummer, Dorothy Bell, Mary Anne Waite, Dorothy Maulsby, Betty Welch, and Josephine Dischino. Men ' s clothes, designed by John Mitchell, were modeled by George Moore, prominent cinema critic; Paul Hanna, insurance agent; Andrew McGurrin, private detective; and Donald Hender¬ son, musician. The style show was followed by a dance featuring Richard Frizzell, musi¬ cian, dancer, and general entertainer. SIX SECRETARIES LOCKED IN OFFICE Six private secretaries of the Crafts, Bruster, and Brown offices were locked in the offices for five hours after closing time last night. The six secretaries— Olive Hanchett, Lois Colby, I ary Curry, Mary Driscoll, Louise Hogan, and Rita Kilduff—remained prisoners until the night-watchman, Fred Hall, discovered them while making his nightly round. DENTIST RETIRES AFTER YANKING WRONG TOOTH Receiving the surprise of his life after yanking the wrong tooth from his pa¬ tient, Helen McGurrin, Dr. Theodore Weinz, prominent dentist, was led by his assistant, Carmen Zucchelli, to a chair close by. He then became hysterical and announced his retirement from the pro¬ fession. Said Dr. Weinz, “This has been a grind from the very beginning. Hear¬ ing his hysterical cries, two waiting patients, Mary Lyons and Louellen McCabe, both housewives, gathered their belongings and hurried trom the offices to those of John Perry, where they were greeted by Nurse Jean Dennett. SINGING LADY ' S PROGRAM POSTPONED The NBC Studios announce that the Singing Lady, Selene Harmon, has ■ kindly given up this evening ' s program of musical nursery rhymes to a very worthy cause. Marion Murphy and Althea Monahan, both kindergarten teachers, will give health talks for the children. This will be followed by a talk to mothers by Anne Sargent, prominent “Advice to the Love-Lorn columnist. Her subject will be “Happiness in the Family. In conclusion, Lea Avila will explain to mothers how to prepare Kel¬ logg ' s ready-to-cook cereal in a new and appetizing dish a la Mrs. Cooley. FULL HOUSE AT APPEARANCE OF FAMOUS ACTRESS Thousands are turned away from the doors of the “Palais de la Rue where the glamorous actress, Vivian Ayer (V. Alice Maulsby) is making a personal appear¬ ance. The presence of such a star in this city has even interfered with the State Debating Society’s debate with the New York Debating Team on the question “To Be or Not to Be. Miss Edwina Fisher announces that the debate will be held one week from tonight. Miss Ayer gave an exclusive interview to Dee Dee Fair, editor of THE BOSTON TELLER, ed¬ ited, managed, and printed by an all women staff. AUTHOR VACATIONS IN FLORIDA Dorothy Smythe, lecturer and founder of the Friendship Society, has left for an extended vacation in Florida, where she will rest after having completed her lat¬ est book entitled “The Art of Making Friends and Keeping Them.” CONCERT SCHEDULED At the monthly social of the Wellesley Club, Miss Priscilla Aiken, piano, in¬ structor, will conduct a concert for the benefit of the Foundling Institute. Par¬ ticipating in this program will be Miss Betty Ohmart, violinist, and Miss Jane McCrillis, who will sing songs composed by the Singing Lady. Miss Dorothy Burchell will speak on “Behind the Footlights.” “HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES IS RELEASED The recent story, “How the Other Half Lives,” written by Helen Bryant, will be released next week as a screen produc¬ tion directed by George McIntyre. With Kenneth Jones as the prominent banker, Leonard Donahue as the local boy who makes good, Ruth Stevenson as the country club hostess, John Sullivan as the politician, and Dorothy Colby as the punstering nurse, the play is assured of much popularity and success. ATHLETES GIVEN SPORTS AWARD Yesterday at the 27th annual meeting of the International Association of Champions, Kenneth Anderson was awarded a huge trophy for outstanding grace in fancy diving. Norman Rau re¬ ceived a bronze figure for his basketball achievements. Track honors went to George Sims, the tattooed man, who will drop out of all competitive sports “to give the other fellow a chance.” Eddie Barry and G-Man Ernie Garron were awarded honors as the oldest players in the International Hockey Association. NEW TYPE OF FOOTBALL ADOPTED Coach Wally Kent, captain of the Wellesley High School’s ’37 team, has announced completion of the rules for his new “safe and sane” game of football. Co-coaches, LeBeau and O’Mara, both members of Wellesley’s ’37 team, will immediately begin to train the present Wellesley boys in this game. They will be assisted by Arthur Snow, physical education director. “DOPE AND MOPE FEATURED ON COMIC PAGE This paper is glad to announce that, starting tomorrow, “Dope and Mope” by James Doherty, will appear in the comic section. Another feature, entitled “Haps and Mishaps” by Marjorie Canoni, will appear daily on the same page. a a 32 nnnRnnnnnnnnnnnnnflEiQEiiiutiQQn THE CLASS OF 1939 President.DAVID BERNARD Vice-President .... HERBERT GREENHALGH Secretary.MARTHA ELUOTT Treasurer.PAUL MacMAHON As juniors we find school doesn ' t roll along quite so easily as when we were sophomores, but we have succeeded in keeping up our academic standard s as well as our ever increasing outside activities. Among those who have constantly attained the B Honor Roll are Margaret de Le Vin, David Bernard, Bradley Patterson, Josephine Cogan, and Anne Heller. We are extremely proud of the four members 1 of our class, David Bernard, Bradley Patterson, Harold .Frost, and Margaret de Le Vin, who were elected to the Wellesley Chapter of the National Honor Society. Many of our class have done outstanding work in clubs. Gloria May sang a solo in the Christmas pageant given by the Glee Club, and Florence Fisher, LeRoy Greason, and Peggy Jenks held the center of the stage in the Dramatic Club ' s producticW of Wild Hobby Horses. ' ' Bradley Patterson convinced us all of his ability in polemics in a debate in assembly sponsored by the Debating Society. Frank Garron carried off the first prize again in Amateur Night. As usual the junior class has been well represented in the field of sports. Football Captain-elect Alfred Belforti and Hockey Captain-elect Spike ' ' Nyland have led the boys, while many girls have shone in the field hockey, basketball, tennis, and baseball. At the beginning of the year the junior and sophomore classes combined and gave a party which served the purpose of making us better acquainted. Taking everything into consideration, we believe we have had a successful year and we are looking forward eagerly to the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new school. 37 38 THE CLASS OF (940 THE CLASS OF 1940 President JAMES COUGHLAN Vice-President DIANE PERRY MARY O ' NEIL BUD MEEKER Secretary Treasurer Last September, when we entered high school, we came to a new building, new teachers, and in many cases new subjects. It was not easy at first to get used to all these new conditions, although everyone did his share to make it so. As time went on, we discovered how much we really did like high school; and now, looking back, we think that we have had a most successful year. 1 A large number of boys went out for football, hockey, skiing, cross country, and baseball, many of whom were able to win their letters. The girls also had a large number out for hockey, basketball, tennis, baseball and archery. Kathleen Donahue and Margaret Feola are the two sophomore cheer leaders who were out rooting for the football players last fall. The B Honor roll has constantly been studded with names, and Emma de Le Vin and Francis Anderson have made the A Honor roll a number of times. Groups of pupils were allowed on certain days to go to Boston for educational purposes such as to attend plays, one of which was Julius Caesar. On one occasion a group from some of the English classes went on a sight-seeing tour of Boston, which included Bunker Hill monument, Charlestown Navy Yard, supper at Chinatown, and many other places of interest. Members of our class belonged to the Safety Patrol and were members of the orchestra and band. That we have some very good actors and actresses has been proven through their taking part in Amateur Night and in various assemblies. On the whole, we feel we have supported the school in all its undertakings, and at this time wish to thank our principal and faculty for their cheerful cooperation in helping to make our first year in senior high a success. 39 — ONE WAY 1 lT i 3 3 3 3 31 3 31 3 3 3 3 3 F O O T B A L L T R A C K C R O S s c o V H T R Y FALL SPORTS FOOTBALL, king of fall sports, started the day school opened, with doctor ' s examinations. The next day the squad was outfitted, and on the fourth, regular practice started. The expert eyes of Coach “Mac soon had a first team singled out. O ' Mara, stocky fullback, Wally Kent, fast stepping captain and left halfback, and versatile Eddie Barry were the mainstays in the backfield. The team lost a good man when shifty Ted Holmes, sophomore star of last year, went to private school. Irving LeBeau strengthened the center of the line, flanked by Moore, Shea, Nahass, Allen, lewell, Belforti, Topham, Maccini, and Donahue. Ex-Manager Sullivan held the other halfback post. The team was extremely unlucky in the matter of injuries, receiving more than its share. The most heartbreaking game, to my mind, was the Natick one, in which our opponents never got within our twenty-yard line, while we missed a •first down on their three-yard line by inches. “So close and yet so far. Ah well, that ' s football, I guess. SOCCEfl, in its first stages of development as a regular sport, had a good turn¬ out of juniors and sophorflores. There were, in fact, only two seniors, Brown and Bruster. Captain Gordy Collins led the way with George Collins, Wells, Topham, Perry, Meeker, Anderson, Monahon, Balboni, Skahill, and Wilson following closely behind. The team, coached by Ed Gillespie, did not expect a good season, as it was hopelessly outclassed in both height and weight. However, it is looking forward to next year, when, with essentially the same members and more maturity, it will carry off its share of the honors. CROSS COUNTRY, the sport where one runs over hill and dale instead of walk¬ ing, like good pedestrians, on the sidewalks, had a very successful season under the leadership of Coach Chapman and Captain Sims. Patterson, D. Brown, Coughlan, and Flanagan were all finishers. Cross country racing is, at its worst, one of the most grueling grinds known, therefore all the more credit to those who were successful in this sport. T RACK, the sport which assembles running, the gladiatorial art of throwing javelins, and leaving the good ol ' terra firma in the high jump and pole vault, got under way as soon as the frost had left the ground. Captain Joe Donahue, Sullivan, Borgatti, Schmalz and Hall are the leading seniors. Among the promising juniors and sophomores are Patterson, Coughlan, R. Frost, San Martino, and McMahon. An ex¬ cellent schedule has been prepared and best results are expected by Coach Chapman. Their slogan, with apologies to CAMELS, is, I ' d RUN a mile for WELLESLEY. 45 WINTER SPORTS SKIING, the latest winter sports craze of the world, resulted here in the formation of a barrel stave team. One thing this sport absolutely requires is good skiable snow. On one fine day, and under such conditions, Greenhalgh, Blackett, Moore, Brown and Bartlett took Needham, winning three places in each event save downhill, where our rivals tied for second place. Although other meets were scheduled, the sun came boiling around beforehand, and our ski team had to rest on its laurels. However, for a new sport much interest was shown, and we have another addition to our activities. HOCKEY is in the minds of most boys as soon as the first frost has set in. Spike Nyland in goal, the return of Ernie Garron to join the Barry-Murray line, and a promising sophomore line brought great hopes to our new coach, Mr. McCarthy. Vic Egasti and O ' Mara took good care of the defense assignments. By far the best game of the year was the last official league contest with undefeated Waltham, which from the opening whistle gave promise of fast and exciting action. Waltham scored once in the opening period and successfully defended their advantage until the middle of the third period. When Captain Barry soloed beautifully to score the tying goal, the crowd went wild. When, three mintes later, Garron scored on a quick break, the crowd went wilder. The victory was twofold, as it put us in the playoffs, and our rival, Needham, out of them. Although we did not win the trophy, we de¬ feated Waltham a second time, earning a moral victory, as we prevented them from winning the cup for the third successive year and thus securing permanent possession. BASKETBALL started early in December under the supervision of our capable new coach, Mr. Mathers. Captain Rau, Kent, LeBeau, G. Jones, Shea, and a newcomer, Goodwin, were the backbone of the team. Also sharing in the action were Guigli, Jarvis, Skahill, and Balboni. Those perfect baskets look awfully easy, but did you know that the basket is only one more inch in radius than the ball? We ' d better give plenty of credit to our basketball team, for we can ' t duplicate their skill. SPRING SPORTS GOLF, the newest of our organized sports, has joined a league similar to that of baseball. Under the leadership of Mr. Snow and ex-state caddy champion, Ernie Garron, thi s team should go places and do things. Moore, Sides, Wilson, and Stewart —all of these are willing to spend the hottest of days chasing that little white ball into a not much larger cup. BASEBALL, king of all sports, is on the throne again. With a loss of practically a complete team by graduation, the outlook has seemed none too bright, but a promising group of juniors and sophomores has turned out and at present, with Barry and Goodwin sharing pitching honors, O ' Mara and Belforti the hitting honors, and the rest of the team the fielding honors, the team should be successful, not only this year, but next year, and the following year. A new baseball league has been formed, consisting of Natick, Norwood, Dedham, Framingham, Milford, Walpole, Needham, and Wellesley, with our own Mr. Snow as its president. Let us hope then, that the king of sports may reign in triumph, meaning our team at the top of this new league. TENNIS prospects seemed excellent early this year, all men being letter men. But Stearns and Nicholl, ranking 1 and 2, both left us for private school. Consequently we are not as likely to have a second undefeated season. Crafts and Bruster will play again this year, together with the other members, Morrison, Greason, and Jenks. A good schedule has been made out, and the only wish of the tennis team is made to Jupiter Pluvius, Please don ' t rain us out. Just give us a chance.

A roll call of seventy girls, including five veteran first team players, afforded a variety of skill and experience upon which to draw. The season started with two practice games with Needham and Waltham. Those to whom hockey was new had a chance to experience competitive play at a beginners ' day at Needham. Match games were played with Lexington, Brookline, Concord, Needham, and Ashland. The results were two wins, one tie, and two losses. The season ended with a hilarious alumnae game played in a snowstorm on a field of mud. The following girls received letters for their skill and sportsmanship: Alice Buck, Delpha Corazza, Elizabeth Guernsey, Dorothy Parmenter, Barbara Wilson, Eleanor Brown, Lois Newton, Isabelle Carpenter, Virginia Moore, Elaine Osborne, Betty Simons, captain-elect; Dorothy Smythe, manager; and Harriet Ryan, captain. ! I ! 51 t c c GIRLS ' BASKETBALL. Since the standard for judging a basketball team is not the number of its victories, we can say that the 1938 season was successful. £ This year, as in previous years, the season was divided into two parts. The first eight weeks made up the class season, in which each class competed against the £ corresponding classes of Norwood, Natick, Lexington, Needham, Framingham, and Waltham. The class captains, Poppet Parmenter, Izzie Carpenter, and Kay Giovanella, £ were capable leaders. The last three weeks were devoted to games by the varsity squad of eighteen £ girls under the direction of Barbara Wilson, squad captain. First and second teams played against Needham and Norwood. Sportsmanship and faithful attendance won £ letters for the following girls: Dorothy Bell, manager; Barbara Wilson, Isabelle Car¬ penter, captain-elect; Lucille Charron, Delpha Corazza, Mary Curry, Jean Dennett, £ Josephine Dischino, Agnes Ferioli, Jeanne Fisher, Marilyn Morse, Lois Newton, Dorothy Parmenter, Harriet Ryan, captain; Elizabeth Simons, and Catherine Giova- £ nella. : : c c £ 52 t f j F t tLK.6 -HotKiy Harb. l.t Ry KI VlR INUk SWTM-t ' JbKiNO.

Under the direction of Mr. Proctor they have aided, among other things, in the smooth running of our dances, in the awarding of athletic letters, and in the production of our very successful Amateur Show. The Senior Class expresses its appreciation of the able leadership of the Council. 59 THE MAROON Starting out as a nameless one sheet laboratory experiment for the journalism class, the M aroon has grown to a dignified bi-weekly publication, chronicling school news, reflecting student opinions, creating interest and school spirit, encouraging journalistic and artistic abilities. Under the leadership of Elinor Fair, Editor-in-Chief, and Dorothy Colby, Associate Editor, the staff has made great strides in the quality and quantity of its contributions. Those who have pioneered in establishing the Maroon take pride in reviewing their efforts for the past year.

Hardly a day goes by that up-and-coming mathematicians and linguists fail to have their algebraic equations and Les verses franca ses flavored with selections from the Pilgrims ' Chorus ' or the Toreador Song ; but we all really ap¬ preciate the grand results of good hard work—especially when we have struggled along with them mentally in all their rehearsals! With expert guidance Mr. Perry has led his little troupe of thirteen members— six violins, one flute, a cello, three trumpets, one drum, and a piano—from performance to performance, with increasing success. They have played at our assemblies, at P. T. A. meetings, for the Village Churchmen, and for various other audiences. And after such a fruitful year they aim still higher and hope for a bigger and better orchestra in our new school—which has soundproof walls, praise be! DEBATING SOCIETY President: NATHAN PULLING Secretary-Treasurer: EDWINA FISHER The Debating Club, which was founded in 1936, has been achieving its objectives of accurate thinking and effective oral expression, under the supervision of Mr. Jewell. The club has been very active: the school witnessed their lively debate on the Abolition of Capital Punishment; they participated in a debate with the Quincy High School; they held numerous debates in their club periods; and they were entertained at great length by their inimitable colleague, Mark MacNeil, who held frequent one-man debates on his favorite subject, Ireland. Not only have they enthusiastically followed their regular activities, but they have also conscientiously attended other debates and have listened to radio debates. The Society looks forward to a greater membership next year, with the stimulus of more competition. INTERNATIONAL RELATION 3 CLUB President: ALICE KAVANAGH Vice-President: HAROLD FROST Secretary-Treasurer: GUY SCHMALZ ea This club, under the direction of Mr. Upham, is one of the most enterprising clubs of our school. Its worthy objectives are to stimulate an interest in world affairs, to promote inter¬ national understanding, and to serve the interests and needs of those people who plan to continue the study of ' world affairs. And, what with the avid reading of current world problems, open discussions, and serious debates, they seem to have attained their ambitious objectives, in spite of their energetic pro-Fascist members who so often demanded the floor, and the difficulty of maintaining parliamentary pro¬ cedure when world problems cried out for attention. a F3 DRAMATIC CLUB President: RICHARD GROUT Vice-President: ALICE BUCK Secretary: FRANCES DRUMMOND Treasurer: KENNETH JONES In the beginning of the year the Dramatic Club planned a full program of activities, which they have followed most energetically. The theatrical careers of these budding Bern¬ hardts and Garricks have truly been broadened, with Allen Stevenson ' s expert lectures on stage-setting, lighting and sound effects, and make-up. Radio scripts, choral reading, practice plays, charades, and impersonations offered a wide scope to all types of theatrical genius. Medals should have been awarded to Richard Frizzell for his Knock-Kneed Professor Catching Butterflies, and to Florence Fisher for her delightful pantomimes and imper¬ sonations. Praise is due to those who entertained us at assembly with the popular Wild Hobby Horses. As we go to press the school is looking forward to the club ' s next success, Other People ' s Husbands. The club wishes to express its appreciation to the coach and sponsor, Miss Macomber, who has fostered the future stage stars of our school. ARTS AND CRAFTS CLUBS Miss Fader has had no time to herself this year. She sponsored a Contemporary Art group, separate Boys ' and Girls ' Crafts Clubs, and also an Extra Art Club. Her pupils all have had enjoyable periods, making belts and rings, drawing with chalk and with crayons, painting, sketching from life, planning advertisements, or celluloid etchings. Untalented pupils have no doubt been green with envy when attending the Art Club exhibitions. These clubs have been most enjoyable, especially to those who have no other opportunity for art work. 65 MECHANICAL DRAFTING CLUB The Mechanical Drafting Club has for its imposing objec¬ tive: To learn to express constructive ideas through the uni¬ versal graphic language of drawing. We laymen don’t profess to know about these things, but suffice it to say that those enterprising boys, under the super¬ vision of the equally enterprising Mr. Coburn, have been learning to bandy about such expressions as “orthographic projection and “isometric projection. They must be talented! BOOKKEEPING CLUB This club was formed for those who were unable to include bookkeeping in their regular course. It was originally for girls, but it proved so popular that two boys were discovered in their midst! According to Miss Pearson, their supervisor, girls and boys alike have been apt pupils. 66 D ttfl B fl B B QQQOOQQQQDDDDDDDDDDQDD ' l TYPING CLUB Miss Guild supervises those girls who have no oth er time for typewriting practice and those who intend to use the skill as an aid in their college careers. What with concert drilling, speed and accuracy tests, practice, and more prac¬ tice, these girls have become quite accomplished, consider¬ ing the short time they have had to put into their work. ABC ' s IN SHORTHAND This club, under the supervision of Miss Bronson, has en¬ abled the participants to gain sufficient fundamentals in speed-writing to write, in no time at all, lengthy sentences. It will be of especial convenience to those who are going on to college, or to those who intend to take up newspaper or secretarial work. 67 BEGINNERS ' DANCING CLUB President: JOSEPHINE DISCHINO Secretary: ELIZABETH DONAHUE Treasurer: HARRY MORRIS Not even the terpsichorean ar ts are neglected in our illus¬ trious school; Miss Guild has seen to that. Amid the varied Friday morning noises perhaps you have enviously listened to those lithe creatures stamping out the Big Apple. Such rhythm! Such poise! Remember, though, they were just learn¬ ing; but now our X-period has graduated a corps of embryo Arthur Murrays. Hurrah for that durable gym floor! THE SAFETY COUNCIL Commissioner: HERBERT GREENHALGH Clerk: MARY CURRY Judge: MR. GOODNOUGH Jury: HARTLEY HOPEWELL, GEORGE McINTYRE, WALTER ASHLAND, ROBERTA SMITH, BRENDA BURGESS, KAY DONAHUE Without doubt, at some time this year you have been brought before the seemingly cruel safety court for a traffic or pedestrian misdemeanor. But no matter how harsh the jury seemed at times, the Council has certainly attained its objective of making us safety-conscious, law-abiding pupils. C c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c E E E E E c E E E E E n Q Q 68 RIFLE CLUB President: MARK MacNEIL Vice-President: JOHN SULLIVAN Secretary: DANIEL SHEA Treasurer and Executive Officer: JAMES LUCAS These boys and girls, under the sponsorship of Mr. Chap¬ man, have been aiming to develop marksmanship, and to acquire training in the safe handling of guns. They have had equal chances to improve their scores, by shooting at two targets in each meeting. Some members have become so proficient that they average the high score of forty-eight out of a possible fifty. We hope that their newly acquired skill will be used to advantage. BOYS ' HARMONICA CLUB President: GEORGE SPRING Secretary-Treasurer: MALCOLM JEWELL Under the supervision of Mr. Adams, these boys have become famed abroad the land. Not only have they played in Minstrel Shows, Amateur Night, and assembly, but they have also played at the Y. M. C. A. Their main objective was to play for recreation and amusement, but they built up such a fine repertoire that they were quickly asked to share their en¬ joyment with others. GIRLS ' HARMONICA CLUB President: AGNES FERIOLI Vice-President: MILDRED MacDANIEL Secretary: LOUISE HOGAN Treasurer: RITA CARMEN About twenty musically inclined girls were determined not to let the Boys ' Harmonica Club outdo them, so with the help of Mr. Adams they formed their own Harmonica Club. In their first year they did not progress far enough to give such con¬ certs as their male rivals have given, but they did enter the Amateur Show, and proved themselves capable of perform¬ ing before the critical audience of Wellesley High. The girls look forward next year to bigger and better achievements.

But to get down to cases, here are a few high school don ' ts which I have acquired by the trial and error method. I. Don ' t try to do your homework with the radio on. I have been experimenting with it for three years; and my teachers and I have come to the conclusion that home¬ work and radio programs don ' t mix. II. Don ' t put off your week-end homework much later than Friday night. Satur¬ day you will be too busy to do it, Sunday you won ' t want to do it, and the result will be that you won ' t do it. I know. During my high school career I have had several mottoes; namely, “Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, ' ' and, “Never let business interfere with pleasure ' ' ; I have followed them admirably and can personally guarantee that they can cause more trouble than any other five mottoes I know. III. Don ' t accept responsibility unless you intend to fulfill it to the best of your ability. Better not to be on a committee than to be on one, and do no work for it. IV. Don ' t give advice to a teacher publicly. If you feel that he is in need of advice, take him aside and do it privately. Nothing annoys a teacher, or anyone else for that matter, more than being heckled in public. Then, too, teachers are im¬ portant people around here. Just one teacher can get you in a lot of trouble. I know. V. Last but not least, don ' t have two dates for the same night. This will get you into more trouble than all the rest of the don ' ts put together. Yours for a successful high school career. VOICE OF EXPERIENCE, ' 38. THE TOOT BAIL FL TROH J-tXIN TOV UHO 3t 5UR.PR.ISt 5 AT-JN . OUR WATER U HeTHtU OR.

Sweet odors of a budding woodland were wafted to my nostrils. Spring] — The very breath of it was in the air. I stood for a moment in the fresh, dewy darkness of the forest, and I let the glory and the tingling beauty of it flow through my body. This is the moment a poet would crave, I thought. Spellbound, wordless, I stood listening in the silence all around me; not utter silence, but no foreign sounds broke into my domain to disturb the early morning chirps and rustlings of a newly-awakened woodland life. I could not stay there though, silent and still, when everything about me was coming to life — when a royal mountain top begged me to conquer its glorious heights, to see my green and patchwork forest from a throne worthy of the rich, wooded kingdom it towered above. But when I finally mounted my golden peaked throne, the sun had clothed herself in brilliant cerise, and giving a last bow to the rosy world she was leaving, dipped gracefully low as her evening partner cut in. But her absence left the world strange, without true light; left trees etched like black, clutching fingers pointing to a flaming sky; left unreal contrasts, weird colorings, light and dark, brilliant and black. Always I have felt a fascination for this I have described; not a happy, content fascination, — no, rather an uneasy, disbelieving attraction to it. It is not real, it is gaudy, mystic, and deceiving. With renewed zest I determined to sit atop my kingdom in the soothing folds of the approaching night. At last I did, and stood proud and exhilarated, queen of the free and happy subjects far below me. From that distance and in the first feathery duskiness the night sent ahead to warn me of its coming, those faithful subjects, those leafy, living trees, were softened, mellowed, and molded into one great billowing eiderdown, — a soothing blend of muffled greens, blues and greys. Gradually the distant mountains grew more indistinct, the forest below more blurred; a restful, expectant quiet had settled lazily over my world. A silvery mist, concealing the beauty of a new night, clung to everything. When I lifted my gaze to the infinite canopy over my head, I saw in the West tiny white stars, blinking themselves awake, proud and pale; in the East, cold glitter¬ ing stars were winking back at them. My world appeared to be awakening again, although I knew I had just seen it go to bed. An owl hooted to his mate, but it wasn ' t weird or lonely, rather it rang clear and independent through the stillness. The towering fir trees murmured low to each other and swayed gently to the music of the night. They were watchful and alert, carefully guarding the valley far beneath them. I sat down and leaned back against a dark friendly trunk; I let the clean, sweet night air fan my warm forehead, and slowly a beautiful realization came over me; life was freedom. Here in my hills and forests was life, so here, too, must be freedom; — freedom and a great, knowing, restful peace. I felt myself alone, I felt that a special message was being given to me through the dark, cool glory of a Spring night. Nancy D. Hunter. 83 PURPLE Pools of purple shadows Where light and dark run together Purple with endless opalescence — Deep, deep — Majesty — And the jewelry and pomp of splendor — Great sunsets trailing robes Of crimson, of pearl and amethyst Across skies of azure and sapphire. Great music in tones of purple depth, And long golden trumpets Triumphant, shrill and glorious — These in pools of purple shadows Light and dark, running together — — Helene. STORM OF A JANUARY NIGHT Under the furious beat of rain A black pine whispers out its pain Up against the dead, dark sky Torn, wet leaves go twirling by Play of rain in staccato tone Wearing away on age of stone Beat of sharp silver on my roof Disputing my right to be aloof From harsh winds whistling round my house With knife keen screech, enough to rouse The fear of many a storm-hard man And make the tannest face turn wan. This is the time to appreciate The hearth fire twinkling in the grate The nearness of a sleepy dog And sparks that sputter from the log Deep drowsiness of silent peace With legs stretched out in lengthy ease The turning over in my mind Of many things long left behind. The clearness of a yesterday Whose loveliness has slipped away Calmness amid the futile roar Of winds against my sturdy door In proud defiance of the cold While in the fine glow all the old Familiar things are there to grace The final comfort of my place. These things ephemeral crowd my room. — Helene. SILENCE Silence is God ' s gift to man. Silence is perfection and silence is a form of hell. Where is there a man so devoid of emotion that he has not at some time thrilled to the peace of Silence? Where is there a man so devoid of emotion that he has not at some time loathed silence when noise would be as a balm to him? Noise: tumult: racket; screams; cries; traffic; zoo; radio; circus; insane asylum; typewriter; New Year ' s Eve; children; headache—a longed-for retreat, a gift from the gods — silence. But another view: despair; a blank future; hopelessness; prison; mourning; con¬ valescence; a broken heart; a longing to forget the disillusionments of life — then comes the desire to be a part of noise and confusion. Silence is nothingness, the absence of noise. It comes often as a relief but it can also be a source of pure pleasure. How satisfying it is to be alone on a country side under velvety skies with a full moon spreading its silvery sheen through the peaceful silence of night. Silence can be delicious too when it is broken. Broken by drops of rain dripping into shady pools from eager, overhanging branches; broken by a considerate person in one ' s most embarrassing moment; broken by the clop-clop of the milkman ' s horse in the eerie light of early morning; broken by the ardent applause of enthusiastic first nighters; or broken in the middle of night by one ' s own heartbeat against the blankets. But silence is terror and heartbreak to some. Think of the prisoner in his cell who exists for the moment when the keeper brings his meals, for then only is broken the silence that seems to be strangling his sanity; think of the person keeping vigil over a dying loved one who suddenly sinks into the silence of death; think of the New Yorker who tosses with agonizing insomnia on his first night in the still country; think of the once happy being who is suddenly and hopelessly deafened. Webster says silence is the entire absence of sound. But it is so much more than that. Circumstances, only, make our reaction to it.
