Tonight we have met for our last informal gathering in this building. During our four brief and crowded years here, we have been bound together by common purposes, aims, and ideals. By tomorrow, however, this particular phase of our experi- ence will be a thing of the past. Some of us expect to attend college while others will enter immediately upon the more exacting business of life. We sincerely trust that the lessons taught in the classrooms and on the athletic field will not be forgotten in the years to come, but will be recalled to mind frequently and appreciated more than ever before. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our esteemed faculty for their kindly patience and consideration in guiding our stumbling footsteps and hope that the classes to come will appreciate them as much as we have. We desire also to tell the under classmen how highly we prize the help and co-operation they have given us during the past year. In fact, they have supported our class activities almost as well as th-e Class of 1928 itself. Last, but certainly not least, may we express to you, citizens of Westerly, our gratitude for your interest in all our undertakings, both scholastic and social. Without your help and co-operation, it would have been impossible for us to make our athletic events, our senior play, our cantata, and our numerous other entertainments, so successful. A few hours yet remain in which we may enjoy each 0ther's company in a spirit of fun and good comradeship and during the exercises tonight I invite you to listen to our chos- en representatives as they bring before you various pictures of our high school life. Let these hours, given over to jokes and revelry, be among the brightest and happiest in all your lives. -EDWIN SAWYER THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 11 wo we-s Class istoi: W W On a bright September morning in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, one hundred and thirty-seven freshmen timidly entered the awe-inspiring and rather formidable institute of learning known as the Westerly High School. Each and everyone of us was tr-embling with excitement and it took three weeks under the guidance of Miss McIntyre to make us feel at home in our new surround- ings. Before long, however, we became well acquainted with each other and with the upper classmen and settled down to choosing officers. The following W-ere elected for the fresh- man year: . ' President ,,rrr rrr,,r r,,r ee,iV .,,rrr E d W 1 n Sawyer Vice President .. r,r, . r,,r Byron Hiscox Secretary rrrrrr Elizabeth Roan Treasurer rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre . .,..,.rr, ,Dallas Clarke Next, various school activities, athletics in particular, engaged our attention, and by the end of the year, We were proud to include among our ranks siYJ letter men. In fact, there was nothing to mar the smooth tranquility of our fresh- man year except the phantom of exams which appeared on special occasions to haunt and terrorize our childish hearts. The fall of 1925 found us superior and self-satisfied Soph- omores under a new principal, Mr. Mason. Our class leaders were confidently selected as follows: U President. ...........r....r..... , ........ l .... Byron Hiscox Vice President ..........,.. . .,.....,... Eleanor Daley Secretary. ............ ........ S heffield Greene Treasurer ......... . ........ Alexander Smith 12 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK we nv Our affluence this year enabled us to purchase class rings of a quality and splendor which we deemed the n'th degree of excellence. During the course of the sporting seasons we watched Meikle, Smith, McFarland, and Sawyer, creditably play their parts in football, track, basketball, and baseball. So numerous and gay were the parties and dances en- joyed while we were sophomores, that we didn't notice the rapid progress of the months but time waits for no man and before we realized it, we were jolly juniors. By our third year, our number had diminished but our enthusiasm was stronger than ever and, since we were fa- vored with a room on the second floor, we were inclined to be rather haughty and arrogant. The honored four to hold the executive power of the- group were: President rii, I ii,rrirrirrii.i iiie Eugene Malaghan Vice President. irrrrir. ee.e M adelyn Sutcliffe Secretary rrrrii a iiiiiiiiiiiiir iiirrirrrrr.rr G race Walton Treasurer I riri,iiii,iiiir Abraham Soloveitzik At this stage of our career, the Class Spirit of 1928 sud- denly came to life. Our athletes literally shone. It was now that Ed. Sawyer became varsity pitcher and led the baseball team so gallantly to the state championship. This same year also, Wilcox aroused himself from the lethargy which afflicted him during school hours to develop a brilliant record for speed on the track team. Of course, the great occasion of the year was our first truly social function-the JUNIOR PROM-and how we all worked for it! The hall was elegantly decorated with blue and white streamers and the floor was crowded with gay stu- dents, graduates, and friends. Then we must not forget the Glee Clubs' operetta All at Sea , prize speaking, and the Martha C. Babcock Essays. In the Gilbert and Sullivan production, five juniors: Charles Campbell, John Stenhouse, Myer Deutsch, Stanzerl Edwards, and Lenora Goldberg played leading roles. Jack Stenhouse as the gruff hardy old captain, and Lenora Goldberg, personify- ing the dainty, graceful fairy queen, certainly left an indelible impression upon our minds. No wonder Campbell's interpre- tation of the eloquent Scotch preacher won him the second prize in the speaking contest and we have heard that Hazel Morgan's prize essay on Our Philippine Probleml' was un- usually instructive and convincing In view of these varied activities, the year passed all too soon and vacation was again upon us. Then for two short months we rested and endeavored to prepare ourselves for the THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 13 wi W' arduous duties, responsibilities, and dignities of senior year. First and foremost, our class officers were duly elected as follows: President orrl.eee oerr,. rrrr,,orr . .Edwin Sawyer Vice President. eeeeere. ere,erere,er J ohn McFarland Secretary.. ro,rro,re,.r,,rre.er,,.r,e Madelyn Sutcliffe Treasurer... rr.rrero..,reeo eere.o orre C h arles Campbell Again, as ever, we took a keen interest in athletics. Our class was well r-epresented in all sports of the school and every- one did his best. -. One of the earliest and most difficult problems to con- front us was the choosing of the Senior Play. Many and varied were the suggestions but it was finally decided to present Barrie's Quality Street , and to have different leads each night. The dramatic ability of our class now blazed bril- liantly forth. The Thursday night all-star cast was headed by Gordon Streeter as The dashing Mr. Brown and Madelyn Sutcliffe and Eleanor Daley as Pheobe and Susan Throssel, two quaint sisters of Quality Street, While the same roles were admirably played Saturday night by Charles Campbell, Lenora Goldberg, and Grace Walton. Relieved from the stress and strain of rehearsals, we next turned our attention to the prom which, postponed from time to time because of pecuniary embarrassments, was a signal success when finally given. This year there were formed in Westerly High School several clubs, each under the supervision of a member of the faculty, and each devoted to a particular field of study. Many of these clubs sponsored entertainments of various kinds, some of which were presented before the school while others were open to the gen-eral public, Perhaps the most pretentious of these was given by the Radio Club, through 'whose eforts Graham McNamee was brought to Westerly. Before closing this eventful history, I wish to mention one item which should certainly not be omitted from any school record, the most important item of all, that which deals with our scholarship as a class. Naturally we are inordinately proud of the fact that our class has the best scholastic record in the history of the school, the median rank being 81.72 and the average 80.34. Moreover, fourteen members of the class of '28 succeeded in making the Rhode Island State Honor So- ciety. Arranged in order of achievement, they stand as follows: Mary Kenyon, Valedictorian Madelyn Sutcliffe, Salutatorian Ralph Christy Fanny Hill Antoinette Coduri 14 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK V90 IW William Daly Eleanor Daley Alfred Dower Byron Hiscox Aili Alto Beatrice Silverstein Elvira Giannoni John Hogan Ethel Winterbottom Having completed the history of this most illustrious, glorious, and eminent group, I will leave it in the library where all following classes may find it, trusting that they may be benefited and inspired by our inimitable example. And now to the more gay and frivolous part of this, our class night entertainment! Class Ode I At last we have reached the golden day, When the first light of knowledge has made its way. 'Tis but the beginning, not the endg Towards that, our hopes and desires we bend. For the radiant jewels of life remain hidden Until some worthy deed brings them forth unbidden. It has been said again and again, there is nobility in labor, And from that uplifting thought, let us never waver. II Beyond is the path, a narrow golden thread, That which we longingly desire to tread. For what is the golden path-but one of a high ideal? To youth that is what makes the truest appeal. Life is the master in command, Let us live to see our souls expand. We are but servants of a glowing life, And to obey means contentment, not strife. -Lenora Goldberg, '28. THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 15 V50 IGI HSS SCE.. prophesy J Station W. H. S. Sinigar, India, Abraham Novogroski, an- nouncing. We take great pleasure in presenting to you the worldis greatest magician, prophet, and soothsayer, Mahabam Kahrir. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience. This evening, at the request of several friends of mine with whom I graduated from the Westerly High School, West- erly, Rhode Island, United States of America, just twenty years ago today, I will reveal to them and to the radio audience. in general what the other members of the class in different parts of the world are doing. During my extended travels over the surface of the earth and my study under the greatest seers of all lands, I have gained a knowledge of soothsaying the potency of which I will now display. Even now I feel the spir- it of prophecy descending upon me. The world is opening be- fore my very eyes. My vision is still somewhat blurred but all will clear directly. The first person to appear to me is-is Edwin Sawyer, our old class president. There seems to be ice and snow all about him. What can he be doing 'I Ah! now it is clear. He is teach- ing the Eskimo children at the South Pole how to play our national game of baseball. Apparently he is one of Byrd's most trusty companions. The vision is now fading rapidly and in his place I see two worn and weary figures, dressed in the garments of the ministry, plodding along a dusty road. I even discern their faces, those of Leo Spellman and Lewis Wilcox, old friends of mine. How different they look from their appearance in the old days when they were in Miss Endicott's law classes. Lo, and behold! a schoolroom is unfolded to my sight. And there is Madelyn or Brick Sutcliffe, as she was often called, sitting on a high platform in front trying to look very THE SENIOR CLASS THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 17 YM IO! prim and dignified. In the next room I perceive her bosom friend, Eleanor Daley, giving out the algebra lesson. It seems that their specialties are Latin and Mathematics as in the days of Quality Street . But who is the polished gentleman in their midst demonstrating dancing steps so gracefully? Why, it must be Albert Spicer. Judging from the way he is gliding around, I am afraid Mr. Mason, wouldn't even let him in at one of the Proms for fear he would cause a stampede among the fairer sex. It is rumored that his life is made miserable by the number of scented notes showered upon him by admiring young ladies. Now it is the National Capitol at Washington which looms up before me and there at a big desk I see Fanny Hill. On the door of her office is the inscription First National Physical Culture Inspector. . Farther on, in the senate chamber, I perceive William Daly speaking with great fervor against a bill introduced by Colonel Charles Lindbergh providing for traffic lights to regu- late aeroplanes in large cities. The scene shifts and the confusion of a country fair dazes me for an instant. Here I behold John McFarland being ac- claimed the champion greased pig chaser of Eastern Connec- ticut and Southern Rhode Island. John is surely showing more speed than he ever did on his way to English class back in high school days. The stage of a theatre is taking the place of the fair grounds and I see Abraham Soloveitzik and Ralph Christy playing the roles of hero and heroine in Romeo and J uliet . Ralph still has that sweet school girl compllexion which was so noticeable in his performance of Pyramus and Thisbe, many years ago. My eyes certainly must deceive me since my whole vision is obscured by cats-cats-cats! On looking closer, however, I can discern Hazel Morgan standing in the midst of her friends for I understand by the sign on the house that Hazel is super- intending the Bide-A-Wee Home for stray and stolen felines. As I remember it, Hazel had a peculiar liking for pussies, even in her high school days. Lo! a cheering mob appears before my eyes. They are listening to the eloquent speeches of Florence DeRocco and Esther Ellis, both of whom are running for the governorship of Rhode Island. The subject of the heated debate of these contestants is whether or not there is any commercial Value in running an airship line to Mars. May the best woman win! A temperamental young man with uncombed hair and a large flowing necktie, I find is Eugene Malaghan who, appears on the platform of a 'large spacious auditorium reading ten- der lyrics to a huge audience of young ladies. The poem which 18 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK VDD IW reads with the most feeling is that touching tribute To a Daisy by William Wordsworth. The theatre fades into oblivion and an athletic field takes its place. Yes, there is Alfred Dower, the worldis professional football player, making a ten-yard gain. Alfred's football talent was somewhat undeveloped in his high school days but there is no question but what he is making a name for himself now. For the moment everything is obscured but the atmos- phere clears and I see a Salon in Paris with Alieen Alto seated amid a group of the most cultured men of France where she is being listened to with attention and admired greatly by the whole company of poets, musicians, and.artists. The interior of a machine shop is now revealed to me and here is Byron Hiscox working as an automobile mechanic. By- ron certainly rec-eived good training for his-chosen profession repairing his Ford in high school days. Now appears a Beauty Parlor with David Meikle as the manager. As I watch his graceful motions, I do not wonder that the girls all herald, him as a second Rudolph Valentino. I perceive the laboratories of a scientist, who is, indeed, no other than my old classmate, Martha Giannoni! Her greatest discovery, and the one that has been received most enthusiastically by all the schools in the country, is that of a chewing gum sticky enough to prevent any pupil from talk- ing. I wonder how Martha ever thought of inventing that for she assuredly never whispered when she was in school. The center ring of Bingham's and Barrom's Circus, now comes before my sight. Can lit be possible that I see Myer Deutsch performing the antics of a dlown? It is certainly very hard to imagine our dignified classmate choosing that occupa- tion. The veil of prophecy is again lifted and I perceive the iig- ure of James Brocato chasing madly through the African jungles in search of a butterfly. The members of the class of 1928 could hardly have chosen more widely varied occupations! The next two persons to appear before me seem to have a peculiar relationship. Although I am able to clearly discern Lenora Goldberg as a criminal lawyer, it is Lila Carpenter, a jolly barmaid in a Canadian Tavern, who procures most of the cases for her. Another vision comes to me! A large trans-oceanic aero- plane with Gordon Streeter as the pilot! I wonder how many times, during his senior year, Gordon wished he possessed an airship with which to take a short trip to a certain small town in Massachusetts. But who is this professional jockey on his madly galloping steed? None other than John Hogan, who is at present train- ing Ichabod Crane's horse 'Gunpowderf for the Kentucky YEL. .. THE SENIOR YEAR. BOOK 19 -. new Derby. When I recall John's great speed in passing to and from classes while in high school, I do not wonder he chose this profession. I now find myself gazing on Westerly, my beloved birth- place, only to find the whole town in a state of great jubilation. The reason is that, at last Miss Mary Kenyon has taken over the editorship of the Westerly Times. No Wonder there is such a wild burst of excitement. And there is another reason for Westerly's jubilee. Carl Saunders has just been elected director of the new Y. M. C. A. He recently gained much favor with the school committee through a lecture delivered to the school children of Westerly on The Way a Pupil Should Studyv. Mr. Saunders must have procured much of his interesting data from his own school boy experiences for, as I remember it, he was one of the most conscientious students in the class. I now perceive still another member of our illustrious' group standing on the stage of our own assemblly hall. In his school days, Sylvester was always Miss Stanton's prize pu- pil when it came to mouth opening drills and it was hinted ev- en then that some day he might become her successor. My old friend Dallas Clarke appears before me in the role of the World's champion professional baseball player, having years ago broken Babe Ruth's mighty record of sixty home- runs. Ah! I see Achille Piccolo has become Bunk Stanton's1 successor as a marathon runner. It is interesting to note that Killy keeps in training by diligently chasing horses at the Watch Hill Riding Club. Who is this young lady so assiduously painting the new Rhode Island Hotel Building? Helen Murphy, I think. I real- ize now what practical training she received in Miss Hood's drawing classes in the old high school days. Behold with me for a moment the newly elected Westerly school committee, Irving Silverstein, Gordon Perrin and Alice Blackburn. They have finally triumphed over every opposition and succeeded in hiring Ruisi's barb-er shop for that long de- sired basketball court. Can this be another member of the class who has joined the ministry? Yes, it is certainly Julius Mackowitz. This profession may be a surprise to some but I well remember the time long ago when he made a very excellent Friar Tuck . Perhaps that little incident turned him from his proposed ca- reer of grand opera singer. Verily! Verily! Here is my old classmate, Lillian Ruisi, tuning the Westerly High School piano. Her voice training is apparently very useful to her, when she has to deal with as hard-worked and long-suffering an instrument as this. 20 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 2471! HGV Will you now enter with me the office of the Panciera, Collings, and Coduri Company at Thompson's Corners? These three enterprising young ladies have invented an altogether new kind of pencil which is absolutely guaranteed not to bend, buckle, twist, rust, melt, freeze, or in any way hurt the tender membranes of the fingers and mouth. These pencils, by the way, have just been installed in the Westerly High School. The office of the before-mentioned company is most fortunate in having as errand girl Mary Turco, who well proved her ef- ficiency in that capacity during physical training periods when she was a senior. Our old friend Herman Miner has obtained through his industry and perseverance the enviable position of president of the Washington Trust Company. It is interesting to note that Mr. Miner rather pendantically insists on every one's addressing him as Most Honorable Sir . The metropolis now fades and I behold in the distance Lantern Hill, where the little mud hut of Ellery Fisher, the hermit, is situated. Five years ago when he went into his retirement, he made the statement that he never wanted to see another woman as long as he lived for when he was near them, he always felt nervous and embarrassed. How this ragged, unkempt, man differs from the dashing Bud Fisher of high school days! The atmosphere is becoming noisy and confused as I enter the dangerous ward of an insane hospital. And here is poor Edwina Matthews gone crazy from over study. When the wild desire to conjugate French verbs comes over her, she has to be chained down because of her violence. The reverend halls of Yale University now appear. And can this be Grace Walton who is head of the physics depart- ment? Grace certainly has had experience with the youth of the land, though, for she was the only girl in our high school physics class. I now behold a totally different and much more frivolous scene, a cabaret in New York, with Beatrice Silverstein as a solo dancer. A great change has certaidly come over our Beatrice. Not always is the child the father of the man. Again, the cabaret vanishes and its place is taken by the dock of a large ocean liner. Here stands Herbert Hinchliffe, the boss stevedore, driving his men with utmost cruelty. Some- thing should be done to check such unnecessary harshness. I now feel myself sinking-sinking down into the depths until I am surrounded by walls of stone. Where can it be? Oh yes, back in Westerly again in the new granite quarry dis- covered by Ethel Winterbottom, Elvira Giannoni, Josephine Guiliano, and Isabel Steadman. Their company is unique in that it employs only women workers. THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 21 val' - - flew My boyhood friend, Arthur Gervasini, now comes into view as the newly-elected honorary president of the Lady Hairdressers' Union . We always did know that Arthur was duly appreciated by the gentler sex and this is added proof. No place of business visited in this mental peregrination has disclosed the whereabouts of four of my classmates: Eliza- beth and Catherine Roan, Helen Cherry, and Helen Wills but the mystery is clearing up as I gaze upon four happy homes, each with its gay garden and cheerful hearth fire. May the fortune of every member of our dear class of 1928 be as pros- perous and contented as the scenes before me! But they fade. The spirit of prophecy departs! The heavy veil of mystery is again drawn! I can reveal no more. Ladies and Gentlemen of the radio audience you have just been listening to a prophecy given by Mr. Mahahm Kah- rinseer, of India. Station W. H. S. Sinigar, India, now signs off at 9 :35 P. M. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Charles K. Campbell. Women drivers insist magnanimously that they only expect half of the road 1 It's comforting to know that, but still, it would be nice in emergencies if they could decide which half it is that they want. Officer on the bank- Hey, you! No swimming in the reservoir. I'm gonna arrest you as soon as you get out. Man in the Reservoir- Ha-ha! That's one on you. I'm not coming out. Officer- Why not? Man-'Tm committing suicide. Percy- Well, we've stopped the crime wave in Scotland. Fred- Fine How did you do it '? Percy- By charging for room and board in the jails.

'-f'.w . ,- us' We, the Class of 1928, realize with the deepest regret that our happy and somewhat boisterous days in this worthy institution of learning are soon to end. Since we have always carried on all our work and play in the right and proper man- ner, we now find it only Htting to bring our affairs as a class to a legal close. We, the Class of 1928, being fully possessed of Sound mind, memory, and understanding do make, publish and de- clare this our last will and testament, revoking and pronounc- ing void all wills formerly made by us. Our effects, both those which the fates have bestowed upon us and those which our natural talents have acquired, we dispose of as follows: Item One-We give and bequeath to the Freshmen the following advice: In case of fire never run, Green things don't burn g be in bed every night at eight o'c1ock sharpg and last, but not least, always copy in everything the high and noble examples of the Seniors. Item Two-To the Sophomores we leave directions on how to remove the chairs from the Hall, hoping they, may profit by this advice and thus be able to hold a successful Junior Prom next year. Item Three-To the Juniors we ,leave the possession which it is hardest for us to part with- Our Senior Dignity, because we realize that they are sadly in need of it. We also leave to them ROOM 7, the HCLEANESTH room in the School, hoping th-ey will keep it spotless as we have always done. Item Four-To our teachers we give and bequeath days of calm and tranquility and nights of blissful rest. No longer will they be tortured by our silly questions and foolish an- swers, no longer will they lie awake worrying how To get us 24 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOIC wi I JG-9 by . They have done their duty and will, we hope, reap their reward. Item Five-To Mr. Mason, our respected and estimable ruler, we give and bequeath one dozen new steel scrapers with which he may, in the years to come, employ naughtylboys, who chew gum, in cleaning the floors, chairs, and stairways of that sticky, but delectable substance. Item Six-To Miss McWeeny, our beloved room teacher, we give and bequeath the banner, HCLEANEST ROOM IN THE SCHOOL to be packed away carefully in moth balls and not removed until she finds another class worthy of pos- sessing it. Item Seven-To Mr. Maxwell, our worthy Janitor, we give and bequeath a large pot of glue for him to donate to the next Senior Class that they may be able to fasten their scenery securely without using nails, screws, or any instrument of evil which will tend to mar permanently the shining polish of our walls and floors. We trust this will be a practical substi- tute. Item Eight-I, David Meikle, having been duly commis- sioned to draw up this will, do hereby confer the following personal belongings of the Class of 1928, upon members of suc- ceeding classes, hoping they will be received in a' humble and grateful spirit and properly appreciated. I, Edwin Sawyer, bequeath my power of obtaining graft to Edwin Thompson, who is sorely in need of it. We, Eugene Malaghan, and John McFarland, bequeath our ability in giving wise cracks to enliven our classes during their darkest hours to Jack Clancy and Gordon Michie of the Junior Class. I, Fannie Hill, bequeath my latest book on Love of Art to Elizabeth Steadman of the Junior Class. We, Charles Campbell and Polly Saunders, bequeath our interest in the Washington Trust Company to Earl Carpenter and Robert Drysdale, hoping they will establish as good a record as ours. I, Gordon Streeter, bequeath my latest treatise on, How to Act to Raymond Eccleston, trusting that, through an as- siduous perusal of the same, he may be able to procur-e the leading role in the Senior Play next year. I, Arthur Gervasini, bequeath my love for scenery espe- cially of the Hills', to Joseph Itchkawich of the Junior Class. I, Lewis Wilcox, bequeath my long and enduring legs to Antoch of the Freshman Class, trusting he will grow to the height of six feet, become next year's running ace, and defeat Stonington in the Cross Country Meet. I, Helen Murphy, bequeath my ability in all departments of art to Jean Kizick of the Freshman Class. I, Martina Giannoni, bequeath the gum which I have THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 25 'FBI' - , new placed on chairs, and desks in diverse parts of the school to Billy Mitchell, trusting it will not be necessary for him to use one of the scrapers donated to Mr. Mason. - I, Albert Spicer, bequeath my wild and ferocious disposi- tion to Harold Girven of the Freshman Class. I, Bud Fisher, bequeath my bashful ways and fear of women to Stanton Gavitt of the Junior Class. I, Herman Miner, bequeath my latest book entitled, Why Red Hair is Attractive , to George Keller of the Freshman Class. We, Leo Spellman and John Hogan, bequeath our medals for being late four out of five days every week to Jack Tobin and William Lawson. We, Madelyn Sutcliffe and Eleanor Daley, popular song Writers, bequeath our latest song hit, Wherever You Are, I'll Be There Also , to Bertha Beaudreau and Flora Richards, with the wish that they may enjoy a friendship as sincere as ours. I, Isabelle Steadman, bequeath my personal interest in a certain plumbing business to Ruth Saunders of the Sophomore Class. I, Florence Collings, bequeath my interest in Segar's Grocery Store to the one who will love, honor, and cherish it as I have always done. I, Byron Hiscox, bequeath my motto, Pleasure Before Businessv, to John Sullivan of the Freshman Class. f I, Antoinette Coduri, bequeath my seat beside Miss Mc- Weeney's desk, which I have worked so hard to procure to Lua Kenyon of the Junior Class. We direct the remainder of our literary and scientific pro- ductions be divided equally among the teachers for their fur- ther delectations and that the remainder of our playthings be given to the incoming Freshmen to keep them contented and happy during the arduous process of initiation. We hereby appoint Mr. Willard Bacon, our honored and trusted superin- tendent, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1928, the testators, have to this, our last will and testament set our hand and seal this twenty-fifth day of June, Anno Domini One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-Eight.

Miss Stanton, We thank you! .DRADIATIC CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 29 'wb WG' Class Statistics One summer afternoon, I set out without any thought as to where my walk would end. Through the gate at the back of the yard I went, and up the steep hill I' scrambled, over slip- pery logs and stonesg under dripping branches, and through clumps of wet weeds and bushes. The air smelt moist and woodsy and seemed very oppressiveg but I resolutely pursued my difficult and laborious bit of journey. Panting and sweat- ing, foot by foot I ascended a hill, and at last I emerged from the strip of woodland into a pasture field, and stood upon the crest of a long undulated ridge that overlooked the deep val- ley below. I set off across the bit of valley and dashed headlong in among the trees on the other side. I progressed deeper and deeper into the wooded solitude. Presently I emerged into an open space, a natural arena in the forest. I was about to turn back from my tedious adventure when a wee, tinkling voice cried, Keep up your good spirit, my friend, and follow me. So you know what is drawing me away from home ? I questioned the invisible creature. Yes, I was sent here to guide you. Come I Who are you, my little man? said I. VVhy surely you remember me, said the high-pitched voice, I am the Spirit of 1928, and your class guardian, But where are you taking me? I asked. Be patient, wait and see, he replied. Oh, will my brain everbe disentangled from the net in which it is caught! Oh, Spirit, do answer me this one ques- tion, where are we going! To a Class Reunion? Where are all my classmates ? Somewhere, somehow, you will find them, he answered. Oh, how could this little creature keep me in suspense? If Znly I could grasp his shoulders and shake the words out of im! I reached forward, outstretched my arm, opened and clenched my hand, one tight grasp, but alas, the bodiless spirit eluded my grasp, yet the power of this intangible creature seemed to be stronger than mine. I sped along with this magnetic force drawing me onward. Suddenly, soft strains of music were heard in the distance. As I approached nearer, I identified the tune of our old school favorite, Cheer for Old Westerly. I was standing before a wonderful castle. Up the marble stairway I ascended, through the many portals until I found myself in a large reception room. 30 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK van -Jew Before me were Abie Soloveitzik, with his megaphone and fifty-seven C573 students. My own class! Every member! The Spirit of 1928 had guided me to the Castle of Nowhere, the rendezvous for the Reunion of the Class of 1928. There were Madelyn Sutcliffe and Edwin Sawyer with banners on their arms, the most popular girl and boy respec- tively. And behold another well known person, our best ath- lete, Pinkie Meikle. I began to feel as if we were once again in our dear old W. H. S., minus our books, our teachers, and our classes. Martina Giannoni and John Hogan, always judged by our class as the wittiest, were certainly amusing our class to- night, too. And over in the corner were Lenora Goldberg and Bud Fisher doing the Tango No doubt you know that they were our expert dancers. - From here my eyes strayed to the opposite corner. There was our class preacher, Mary Kenyon, delivering advice to a number of outstanding individuals of our class, namely, our man-hater, Beatrice Silverstein, our class phonograph, Ed- wina Matthews, the angel, Albert Spicer, the class cut-up, Leo Spellman, the class shark, Lillian Ruisi, the laziest member, John Hogan, Lila Carpenter, the busiest, and Alfred Dower, the class grind. Soon her sermon was ended and the group scattered. Glancing around the room, I happened to notice a large hole in the center of the north wall. With less than three snaps of my finger up jumped a little body and stood on the plaster. Remembering that I had met this little creature before, I walked over and questioned him. What is the idea of interrupting our Reunion? He said, I am willing to answer any questions you might ask me in connection with the members of the Class of 1928.9 With my classmates seated around me I asked him one question after another. To my first question he named Mary Kenyon and Ralph Christy, the smartest, Arthur Gervasini, our champion bluff- er, Helen Murphy and Abie Soloveitzik, our artists, Beatrice Silverstein and Charles Campbell, our best speakers. Then, as to the disposition of the members, he decided that Mary Panciera and Lewis Wilcox were the best natured. After a few moments of silence, he told me that Archille Piccolo was our class pest, Dallas Clarke, the most pessimistic, and Grace Walton, the most optimistic. The honor of being the noisiest person should undoubtedly go to Abie Novogroski, and the honor of the quietest to Helen Cherry. Without much THE SENIOR YEAR ISOOK 31 van .lm hesitation he announced Elvira Giannoni and William Daly as the babies of our class. From this point the conversation wandered to appear- ances and we agreed that Lenora Goldberg and Bud Fisher were not only the best dancers but also the best dressed mem- bersg and Florence DeRocco and Byron Hiscox the neatest. VVho is our most handsome youth ? I asked. The Spirit pondered. I heard a witty member of our class saying in a low tone, We are all good looking, how can he ever answer that ? Hogan perhaps thought I didnit hear him, but I warned him that there was very little said that I didn't hear. After deliberate though the Spirit finally decided that Eu- gene Malaghan was worthy of this honor. However, I think that Hogan seemed overjoyed when Malaghan was named The Handsomest Man, and really did not feel the least bit slighted. Again I turned to the Spirit with my last question. What boy has done the most for the class ? Edwin Sawyer came his answer. With one movement of the eyelid the little old creature disappeared. What valuable information he had imparted to me. Such a buzz of conversation followed until the company was called to order by our former President, Edwin Sawyer. Then we listened to interesting sketches from our Senior Play - Quality Street -given by our most excellent actors, Mad- elyn Sutcliffe and Gordon Streeter. Everything had ended! After many a hearty handshake, I tripped down the im- mense hall to the steps. Soon I was back on the path through the woods, with the Spirit guiding me. After a long and tire- some journey, I ,bade good-bye to the Spirit and was once again alone with visions of what had passed. I must have lost consciousness for a slight bump, a light jar, roused me to a sense of my surroundings. I opened my eyes and stared about me. Yes, I was home! Such a wonder- ful dream!

I can- not truthfully deny that I regard the distinction of bestowing these certificates upon the young people before me one of the greatest honors of my life but, on the other hand, a sort of lugubrious feeling of melancholy comes over me at the thought of bidding farew-ell to a class so estimable, learned, quiet, mod- est, dignified, and scholarly. It will be a long time before Utopia High School welcomes to her halls another group equal- ly worthy. I will now present to the graduates their respective de- grees which they have all striven so indefatigably and difli- gently to attain and which I feel, in every case, to be well- deserved. It is only fitting that Ed. Sawyer who has been chosen to lead our class for two years, who is captain of our baseball team, and who has been voted our popular man of the class be given the degree D. O. T.-Dashes Onward Triumphantly. Byron Hiscox never fails to play his part in all school ac- tivities in a sportsman-like way and is always willing to help his classmates. Therefore to Byron, I grant the degree S. W. H.-Spirit of Westerly High. Grace Walton is the only girl in Physics IV A. Imagine! Well, Grace, we hope it's for the love of the subject and not of your companions in misery. I, therefore, award to you the degree Ph. M.-Physics or Men? In our midst we have a galloping hard-riding broncho buster. Nor should we criticize him for having been thrown from his horse once when the Prince of Wales has come to grief in a similar manner twenty-eight times. Thus to John Hogan I award the degree O. H.-Our Horseman. Everyone whovhas seen Wilcox run, leaving his opponents far behind, weary, winded, and footsore, while he breaks the tape as fresh as at the beginning of the race, realizes that he is worthy of the degre-e R. R.-Runs 'em Ragged. There is one girl in our midst who is very quiet in classes but we wonder Frankly whether she is always so outside of school. I therefore confer upon Helen Wills the Degree Q. S. Q. O.-Quiet in School-but we Question Outside. Many girls, we hear use paints nowadays in one way or another but few employ water colors as cleverly as Helen Mur- phy does. On Helen, therefore, I bestow the degree U. P. A.- Uses Paints Artistically. THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK , 35 WL-A View The outside world knows Abe Soloveitzik as a newspa- per reporter, but it has been left to his classmates to discover his ability as a writer of thrilling mystery stories. Conse- quently I give to Abe the degree U. S. A.--Unusually Spooky Author. To Martina Giannoni who brightens the classroom and helps to liven many a dull and boresome class by talking of the weather or any other equally exciting topic, I present the degree T. N. T.-Talkative but Not Tiresome. To Ellery Fisher, the Beau Brummel of our class, who dresses in the height of fashion and has a different tie, in- numerable sox, and the proper suit for every occasion, I award the degree M. V. C.-Magnificent Varied Clothes. To Carl Saunders who has probably had as many romanc- es as Solomon had wives and made many a young Freshie envy him wondering how he does it, I present the degree L. L. L.-Like 'em, Love 'em, and Leave 'em. William Daly is the youngest and tiniest member of our class, but many of us would be wil-ling to be small in stature if we could acquire the knowledge he possesses, so on Billy I confer the degree B. B. B.-Beaming, Brilliant Baby. Again, Antoinette Coduri is the smallest of our girls but a glance at her class record will afford ample proof of the saying Good things come in small packages. On Nettie, therefore, I bestow the degree Q. Q.-Quality not Quantity. Everyone who knows Novo realizes his prowess in ar- guing and debating. We only wish Patrick Henry or Stephen Douglas were her-e to cross tongues with him. Thus it is only just that Abraham Novogroski be given the degree W. O. W. -Westerly's Oratorical Wizard. From the backwoods we welcome two classmates Herbert Hinchliffe and Julius Mackowitz who remind us of the days when knighthood was in flower, because of their pure. helpful, sportsmanlike manners. To the Country Gentlemen, I present the degree P. D. Q.-Possess Desirable Qualities. To Charles King Campbell, the Czar of his gang, who al- ways comes up smiling victoriously from the menaces and threats of the angry mob, I award the degree C. K. C.-Charles, King of the Campus. Gordon Perrin comes from Ashaway where the sun shines so brightly as to almost give the inhabitants sleeping sickness. Indeed we all feel sorry for Gordon when we watch him drowse and sigh through his monotonous, tedious classes. On him I sympathetically confer the degree L. T. D.-Long Tiresome Days. Although Fannie Hill showed us her dramatic ability as Patty in the Senior Play, we also understand that she has out- side interests. In fact, we are told she is devoted to the study of nature and of landscape painting in particular. Thus I CLUB RADIO THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 37 WD ' ---Huw give to her the degree L. F. A.-Lover of Fine Art . To the Misses Winterbottom, Alto, and Silverstein who have made the state honor roll, helping to give our class the highest scholastic standing ever obtained, I award the degree W. H. S.-Westerly's Honor Students. Achille Piccolo has a Ford which, when rambling over the lofty hills to and from New London and the Rose of New England, has according to Pic, great pick-up ability. On Pic, therefore, I confer the degree P. U. R--Picks Up Rapidly. Lila Carpenter and Lillian Ruisi often look like walking libraries when they leave the building at night with their arms full of books. Failing in a recitation would be fatal to either. Consequently on Lila and Lillian I confer the degree S. O. S.- Study Or Sink. Alice Blackburn has been with us only two years but has won our friendship because of her cheerfulness and willingness to help everywhere, especially on the girls' baseball team. I therefore award to her the degree A. L. I. C. E.-Always Lending Ideas Cheerfully Everywhere. Since Edwina Matthews, during her leisure hours, can generally be found on the west side of the town, there must be something very attractive and appealing in that locality. We wonder what or perhaps Who? As a partial explanation, I confer on Eddy the degree S. A. S. S.-She Admires Stonington Scholars. Mary Kenyon is one to whom the class owes much be- cause of her eiicient aid in making our Senior such a success. She is always ready to give her assistance in any class project and regards making the honor roll a pleasant avocation. I, therefore, I confer the degree P. U. R.-Picks Up Rapidly. ments Lightly. Lenora Goldberg, as the dashing Senorita at one of our school iiestas, has clearly shown her grace and charm. Ind sed, can anyone who has tripped the light fantastic toe with her doubt that Lenora deserves the degree S. S. S.-Some Snappy Stepper. James Brocato is one of our exceptionally progressive boys. Indeed he has distinguished himself by acquiring two diplomas in four years, the first certificate having been be- stowed by the Industrial School. I award Jim the degree K. K. K.-Klever Klass Karpenter. Many of you have probably wondered where that title Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondes originated. For the answer to your question we have to seek no farther than Eleanor Daley, our prettiest girl. Thus Eleanor well deserves the de- gree W. G. P. B.-Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Everyone knows Gervasini and his masterful way of con- quering the f'Hills that he encounters on his way to and from HAN DICRAFT CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK l 39 fmt IIGQ school. Thus to Jei I give the degree F. A. H.-Fearless Among Hills. I Capalbo is one of those boys to whom the quotation, Si- lence is Golden means a great deal, for he would never think of talking above a whisper. We know, however, that he proves a good sport in his own circle of friends. Thus I give Cap the degree A. S. O.-Always signed Off. Since Catherine Roan has been busy with class affairs during all her four years with the Senior and as the Senior Class Play Treasurer, it is only iitting that the degree C. A. S. H.-Catherine is Always a Safe Harbor, be conferred upon her. In conferring the degree R. A. R. E. upon Herman Miner, - Red Attracts Rastus' Eye -as far as hair is concerned at least. Indeed, it appears that he will not relinquish his rare discovery for sometime to come. Myer Deutsch is one of the boys who never fails in reci- tation but whenever he stands to recite or whenever a pretty young lady speaks to him, he turns all the colors of the rain- bow. Thus to Myer I give the degree B. S.- Blushing Stu- dent. Judging from the conversation of the Senior girls, I un- derstand that F. O. R. D. is the best degree to present to Flo- rence Collings, since they all say-Florence is Our Reliable Driver. Since Alfred Dower and Ralph Christy have no need to go to the ant to learn diligence and have a perfect genius for deflecting deficiency slips, I bestow upon them the degree Z. I. P.-Zealous, Industrious, Promising. To Eliazbeth Roan who will undoubtedly succeed very well in anything she undertakes just as she has in school and who, we hope, will never again be blessed with the position of play prompt-er, I present the degree M. E. R.-Manages Everything Royally. The saying You can't judge a book by its cover has been proved conclusively by a member of our class. We all knew, of course, that Albert Spicer was not averse to a good time, but we didn't realize that Alby would carry his liking far enough to earn the degree C. C.-Class Cutup. Madelyn Sutcliie portrayed so convincingly the part of the lady-love in the Senior Play that we feel sure she could win anyone, make him do as she said, and make him like it. Therefore, on Eta I confer the degree E. T. A.-Extremely Talented Actress. ' Florence DeRocco and Elvira Giannoni are always togeth- er and are always ready to give their friends a smile. Their mottoes are Just let a smile be your umbrellav and Don't worry or fret. To these girls, therefore, I award the degree U. S. N.- UU Smile Naturally. We don't wonder that Mary Panciera was chosen our best FRENCH CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 41' vm uw natured girl when we consider her winning, cheerful, helpful manners. Thus to Mary, I award the degree P. E. P.-Pleas- ing, Engaging Personality. Laugh and be merry and He who laughs last waits too long are Leo Spellman's slogans. At any rate, by beings happy all the time, he inspired his footbdll team to success. ghus to Leo I give the degree C. A. P.-Cheerfulness Always ays. To Josephine Guiliano, who is always ready with a smile for everyone when she is not studying in order to uphold the scholastic honor of the class, I present the degree M. S. S.- Master of Smiles and Studies. We know that Patience Perry is one of the fastest typists in the school for when she collects the attendance slips, she arrives hours earlier than the boys who are charged with the same duty. Is this not an argument for women's rights? So to Patience I award the degree H. I. T.-Hits It Timely. We have among us one who is cool and collected no mat- ter what the circumstances or the weather may be and prob- ably when many of us will not see each other for long periods of time, this young man will be welcomed from day to day by his former classmates. Consequently to John McFarland I award the degree V. I. M.-Visiting Ice Man. Westerly High School will feel Very lost and helpless now that the last of the famous athletic Meikle family is graduat- ing. Since he has certainly kept up the good work of his pred- ecessors, I present to Pinkie Meikle the degree L. L. Last but not Least. Esther Ellis has already declared her intention of becom- ing a school teacher. In case she does, the pupils will have to behave in a most angelic manner, since Esther, our tallest girl, can see far, far away even into the iremotest corner of the room. On her, then, I bestow the degree E. A. T.-Es- th'er's Adapted to Teaching. I turn to another of our students-only Izzie seems tow prefer studying. Camp's Daily Dozen and trying out her skill on the girls during physical training period. To her. conse- quently, I present the degree P. T. P. T.-Prefers Teaching Physical Training Dallas Clarke was once a native of Westerly but now in a rather dignified way acts as Bradford's good will emissary., Thus to Dal I award the d-egree B. D. A.-Hradford's Diplo- matic Ambassador. Mary Turco is another of our dependable girls who, when not doing work of her own. is always willing to help any un- fortunate fellow-mortal. Thus I give to Mary the degree A. I. D. S.-Always Is Doing Service. It was a surprise to some of us to learn that Helen Cherry was connected with the Westerly Hospital but the information CROSS COUNTRY TEABI THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 43 V00 HGV that she assists in the office goes far toward explaining the unusually quick recoveries that have recently been made in that institution. Consequently I bestow upon Helen the de- gree M. D.-Medical Damsel To Hazel Morgan, the. literary editor of the Senior, who because of her exciting tales is responsible for making our hair stand on end and keeping us awake many a long night, I give the degree O. M. Y.-Our Maker of Yarns. Some of us who thought that Murphy was just a Manager of Athletics and that he couldn't travel very fast, have been surprised at his ability as a player and also at his speed on the bases during class games. To Irving Silverstein, therefore, I award the degree F. A. T.-Fast At Tim-es. Gordon Streeter has what many would call banking hours, since he does not arrive at school until long after everyone else. He even adds insult to injury by not having to acquire yel- low slips, but by possessing a credit account instead. To Gor- don I give the degree C. O. D.-Credited On Delivery. In closing, may I thank the class again for bestowing upon me this signal honor and delightful responsibility? I feel sure that if -each will consider as his guiding star throughout life the lessons to be found on his certificate, he cannot fail to enjoy the highest degree of health, wisdom, and general felicity. , Eugene Malaghan STUDENT COUNCIL THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 45 wi W Student Council This year marks the beginning of the Student Council. Its work has not been dashing or spectacular, yet underneath the current of student activity it has been working steadily for co-operation between student clubsg it has increased indi- vidual responsibilityg it has endeavored to create throughout the school a spirit of loyalty and co-operation. Besides bring- ing school activities under its control it has offered a won- derful project in governmental responsibility. The council was organized in October. It contains a rep- resentative from every school group and four officers elected by the, school. The council has received the whole-hearted support of Mr. Mason and herein lies the reason for its un- doubted success. What has the council accomplished this year? In athletics? 1. It has increased student interest and support. 2. It has held four rallies. 3. It has organized cheering. 4. It has instituted and supported interclass baseball. To improve our school? 1.

Rogers Manager-Arthur Gervasini Starting the season under a great handicap for lack of veterans, the 1927 football team enjoyed many a moral vic- tory. Having four scoreless ties, with Stonington Winner of S. R. I.-E. C. League, the fast Colt Memorial eleven of Bristol, the state champions, Central Falls, and th-e always aggressive Windham team of Willimantic. Coach Rogers again coached a lighting squad of boys. He had as a nucleus for this year's team only three men left from the championship team of 1926. They were Captain Leo Spellman, Tony Leonetti and Pinkie Meikle. But by hard Work on his own part, and the perfect co-operation of the entire team, he not only developed a fighting varsity, but one of the best second teams to ever represent the High School. DI EA T LL A B BASE THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 51 wi 'W as 11 Captain-Edwin Sawyer Coach-Joel P. Sherman Manager-Charles Campbell This year's baseball team was not as successful as the nine which represented the school in 1927. Only three men remained from the team which won the championship of Rhode Island. Captain Eddie Sawyer, although out-hurling his opponent in every game, had the misfortune to lose many contests by close scores. One consolation during the season was the two defeats administered to Stonington High School, the first by a score of 6-5, and the second by a 6-2 count. Coach Sherman developed a team composed in the main part of rookies. Some of the men who have helped make the season partly successful are, Captain Sawyer, Meikle, Wilcox, Itchkawich, Deutsch, Gentile, Dotolo, Christy and Stenhouse. lil--i.-v---I----Fi! 311-7 L- Y-ng.--V x TEADI TRACK 0 .W pug THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 53 'dill ll-SV raclp orts i f Manager-Gordon Perrin Coach-James L.

In the first race of the season, Norwich Free Academy nosed out the locals by one point. Victories were recorded over Stonington and Chapman Tech. In the league meet Westerly finished in second place behind Chapman Tech. The track team enjoyed a less successful season. In all, the team participated in five meets. They were defeated by the R. I. State Freshmen, and also the R. I. State Second Varsity. They finished third in both the Interscholastic Meet at King- ston and the league meet in New London and ran up their only victory of the season over Norwich.
