SE Em 10 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK Wl----- --- E aw Class N ight Exercises Address of Welcome Friends and supporters of Westerly High School: We, the Class of 1929, wish to extend to you a hearty welcome to our class night exercises. We also wish to thank ,you for the great interest you have taken in our many activ- ities during the past four years, and to tell you how much we appreciate it. Tonight marks the end of our high school career, as this is our last meeting in this building in which we have spent so many happy hours. We have been together for four years and have worked with each other as a body made up of individuals. After graduation, however, each member will leave and go his own way, taking advantage of the things he has learned in W. H. S. and striving to reach a worthy goal. Some will attend college and by adding to their store of learning obtain a broader knowledge of life, while others will launch themselves directly into the business world. But whatever the graduate does, he will always remember and value the days passed at high school, the foundation upon which all his future plans are laid. Four years of such asso- ciation can never be forgotten and will sure be recalled as some of the pleasantest and most profitable ever spent. Now let us turn to the merriment and fun which always accompanies this jovial gathering called Class Night. All is in readiness and we are going to make this an eve- ning of gay spirit in which every one can participate and have his joke. Before the fun is over, you will know the his- tory and statistics of our class, as well as the prophecy, un- folding the past, present and future of the remarkable group of students which you see before you. Each member will be ,given a useful gift, and the tenderly cherished underclass- men will be honored by having willed to them certain little remembrances which We choose to leave behind us. Therefore, let us listen to the speakers of the evening, Who will reveal to you many marvelous secrets. Ralph Briggs 1'IIE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 11 YSL , , , alms 'vip Class liiistor Thomas Carlyle, the Great Scotch essayist and philoso- pher, states the theory in his Heroes and Hero Worship that the History of the World is, in reality, little more than the biography of its Great Men. In writing the history of my class I have attempted to follovv his suggestion but have found it rather difficult since each member has some pecul- iar claim to greatness. I have, therefore, decided to discuss only those great personalities who have distinguished them- selves in the various fields of school activity and thus es- pecially influenced the history of the class of 1929. Since scholarship Qalthough circumstantial evidence may sometimes point to the contraryl is really the primary reason for attending school, it is only fitting that those Who have excelled as students be mentioned first. Gordon Michie and Edna Latondress, our valedictorian and salutatorian, to- gether With Helen Himes, Marion Crandall, Ruth Kenyon, Marion Smith, Lucy Rawlings, Lua Kenyon, Esther Chap- man, Ruth Van Vleck, Marcia Tutsch and Byron McCoy, have attained the signal honor of being admitted to the State Honor Society. Closely allied with scholarship, and really a part of it, are the yearly contests connected with the various phases of school work, oral English being represented by Prize Speak- ing, Written English by the Martha C. Babcock prize essay and Chemistry by the Annual Chemistry Contest held at Kingston. In last year's Prize Speaking Contest Rupert Cole- man, in an extremely dramatic delivery of the Closet scene from Hamlet, received first honor, While Edna Coon, in a very different type of speech, Kate Douglas Wiggins' Tragedy in Millinery Knot as pathetic as it soundsb, Won first prize for the girls. 12 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK WLWM- -ir was All those who heard Ruth Kenyon's elaboration of the newspaper article A Policeman Is Fined Six Dollars, a Day's Pay, for Kissing Girl will understand perfectly why she was announced winner of the Martha C. Babcock prize essay last year. Ruth has proved to be an authoress of much clear sighted vision, great power in character, delineation, and the ability to produce a finished literary product. Esther Chapman, another star on the literary horizon, is a many-sided ,little person. In addition to her charm as a nature poetess, she has the distinction of having been chosen representative to the Chemistry Contest at Kingston this year. She, moreover, showed great aptitude in designing and making the costumes worn in the pageant given by the English Club. It is not often that we find in one person such a rare combination of the literary, the scientific, the practical, and the artistic. Rupert Coleman, also, has shown much practical artistic ability. The success of our class proms, for instance, has been mainly due to his planning. He, moreover, has always been willing to help with the decorating and lighting of the auditorium when it has been used for school entertainments. I would advise all those who have thought of sending to Ar- thur Murray of New York for dancing ,lessons to apply in- stead to Rupert. His instruction of the nymphs in their dance for the English Club pageant resulted in their ap- pearing more lithe, fanciful, and fairylike than any who formerly graced our high school stage. Frank Adimari, Rupert Coleman, Bertha Beaudreau, and Alice Harrison were our vocal artists two years ago in the Operetta, All at Seaf' The class of 1929 also supplied many of the terrifying pirates, and of the admiral's numer- ous sisters and cousins and aunts. Although all the characters in the cast of the Senior Play, She Stoops to Conquer, enacted their various roles, with much dexterity and finish, perhaps the amusing per- formance of Fred Dotolo, as Tony Lumkin, a sweet, pleas- ant, damned mischievous son of-no matter, stands out with greatest clearness. No one who witnessed the comedy could possibly forget the ingenious manner in which Tony, like Coolidge, took his exercise on an artificial horse. Gordon Michie and Joseph Itchkawich will surely be re- warded in heaven, if unappreciated on earth, for the cease- less effort spent on the Senior. This year the Senior, be- cause of financial handicaps, has found it necessary to in- clude more advertisements, thus making it imperative to cut down on the number of literary pages and to omit much excellent material which we had but could not publish. Through Joseph Itchkawich's endeavor, the magazine is now THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 13 financially independent andwe confidently expect that next year it will show great improvement in every field. Like the old Greeks, we believe in a harmony of the var- ious elements of life, the soul, the mind and the body. While not all of us have been able to excel physically, it has been satisfying to our souls to observe the grace and beauty of those who have. Anyone witnessing Wills' performance as hurdler cannot fail to recognize his kinship with the Greek athlete, Bonner, as a pole vaulter, is literally a poem in mo- tion, while Morrone, as discus thrower, might serve as a model for Praxitailes. Turning from the days of the old Greeks to consider our American game of baseball, we should mention Captain Itchkawich as special star from our class. Perhaps to no sport does our enthusiasm go out as to beloved football which lends its festive spirit to the crisp, -cool fall days. There the gay scarlet blazers and many hued tams mingle their colors with the brilliant autumn foliage. Leonetti, Dotolo, Eldridge, Tuckerman, Itchkawich, and Captain Rae, have distinguished themselves as real heroes in this miniature battle of sport. In considering the social structure of our school life, we should stress particularly the activity of the student council which, although of comparatively new organization, has, from the historical point of view, been the most impor- tant work done by our class. It has established assemblies and interclass baseball, cleaned the property room fa Hercu- lean taskj, assorted and rehung the pictures in the Trophy Room, changed the arrangement of the pipes so that the students might have colder water, improved traffic condi- tions, established a new system of clubs, and sponsored the Country Fair, the Penny Carnival, and the Vaudeville Show, in which the various clubs provided entertainment. Bertha Beaudreau, Frank Adimariand Ralph Briggs, the three .charter members, have been very active in the council and -especially helpful in bringing its plans to completion. In relation to club work, Rupert Coleman's power of leadership, ability in interpretation, and cooperative spirit have been evidenced not only in his own dramatic club but in the help which he has given other organizations. Edna Coon, the president, and Ruth Williams, the chair- man of the English Club program committee have shown great efficiency and capability in helping to shape the des- tiny of their group. These are only a few of the outstanding names among the members of our high school clubs. Every community has notables whose prominence is due to their personality and influence rather than to their con- nection with and interest in any one group. Our class is no exception to this rule. 14 THE SENIOR YEflR BOOK we - asv To Reginald Lamb, our dry wit and inventive genius, we owe much of the loveliness and sparkle which brightens even the dullest of recitations. His amusing poem, The Rapacious Rime of Han, the Ravenous Ravagerj' is suffi- cient proof that Will B. Dummer has succeeded Mark Twain as our greatest American humorist. In the midst of our group, dwells one who stands un- moved by the vicissitudes of the moment, around whose lofty brow the storms and thunders of life my roar unheeded. The thoughtful, philosophical point of view will ever shelter Louis Maggio. Thus I have in brief reviewed for you the history of the class of 1929, with its scholars, its authors, its orators, its scientists, its artists, its actors, its musicians, its business men, its athletes, its organizers, its humorists, and its phil- osophers. Surely from among all these Great Personalities, there should be at least one, and perhaps several, who possesses enough distinctive qualities to rank as a hero in even Car- lyle's estimation. Lua S. Kenyon i mmmmm Class Song Tune-A Perfect Day We have come to the end of our high school days, And no more will our youthful pranks, Destroy the peace of these study halls, For we're breaking our classic ranks, Do you think what the end of our algebra, Can mean to our troubled minds, And the bliss which fills ev'ry Senior heart, To leave Virgil and trig behind? Well, this is the end of our Senior Class, Of the Seniors of twenty-nine. May our teachers rest in peace once more, And forget the deficiency line. In the years to come, on the path of life, We'll recall with a loyal heart, The classmates of Westerly High, and grieve That the Seniors had to part. Ruth Kenyon WL THE SENIOR YEAR BOOIC E Q, I F C1 a ' ff' HSS I P O li TOD ESV e Hog-O 3 CEnter Rip Van Winkle, in costume, leading his faith- ful dog, Wolf.J Rip: Ah, twenty years have passed, twenty years- and now I return to this familiar place. It was two long decades ago, when I graduated from Westerly High School with the Class of 1929. What a class it was and how we celebrated that graduation, the gayety of which was bright- ened by my marriage! I shall never forget that last great event, the hunting trip, that fateful trip when I strayed away from my classmates in search of game,-or something to eat. Even now I can taste in my memory those delicious goozleberries, those mystic goozleberries, those sleep-pro- ducing goozleberries, that I ate and that caused me to fall immediately into a dream-disturbed slumber from which I have only awakened. In those weird dreams, I clearly saw my old classmates who, it seems have scattered far over the face of the globe. It all comes back to me now. I remem- ber them all,-their whereabouts and occupations, and I feel called upon to reveal what has become of them as I saw them in my sleeping visions. The first scene that comes to my mind is one of a Holly- wood studio where Rupert Coleman has supplanted John Barrymore as screen star. Rupert first demonstrated his dramatic abilitiy while attending W. H. S. He has playing opposite him Dolores Costello, his childhood affinity, Letitia. DeRocco. Mary Brown, too, has gained fame in dramatics, her latest success as a movie star being, A Rae of Light, which ran for four years on Broadway, a truly phenomenal oc-- currence. Q h The vision changes. I see again, as I did in my dreams, an Old Maids' Home, superintended by Betty Steadman- CLASS OF 1929 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 17 we v ,W This is indeed a new venture for her. Among the inmates are Alice Miner and Katherine Estabrook, former members of the Class of 1929. This picture fades and my imagination carries me to the North Pole where Joseph Itchkawich is making his for- tune selling Frigidaires to the Eskimos. Joe must have ac- quired his salesmanship ability while employed at the West- erly Fashion Store. I am again brought back to Westerly where Bertha Beaudreau is supervisor of nurses at the hospital, a position which was gained after a long period of faithful service. A great improvement has been noticed in the condition of the patients since the advent of Miss Beaudreau. Among other nurses enrolled at the Hospital are Marion Crandall and Alice Ledwidge. I have learned during my fitful slumbers that Douglas Rae is a professor of English at Harvard University where he is giving a course in Browning',. Doug first became interested in the subject while a pupil of Miss Hanson dur- ing our old schooldays. How proud she would be of him! Nothing could be stranger than this vision of Westerly High School which comes back to me. Let me bring you to the typewriting room where Marcia Tutsch is conducting a beginners' class. She has succeeded Miss Endicott, her former teacher. Revenge is sweetf' according to Marcia. But what is this sad sight? My dreams show me that Bill Crandall is in the Bellevue Hospital in New York, suffering from a critical case of brain fever. Evidently this disease is the result of Bill's deep research into the study of Commercial Law. Dr. Tony Leonetti, the dread physician of the hospital is caring for Bill. I certainly hope and be- lieve that Dr. Leonetti will soon get his patient well started on the road to recovery. We should feel very proud that a member of our class has been accorded the most exalted position in our country, that of president of the United States. This important per- sonage is none other than Ralph Briggs, who conducts the affairs of our nation as calmly and unconcernedly as he formerly conducted the fortunes of our class. Now to my sub-conscious mind comes the vision of Val- entine Rodgers. She is being presented with a silver loving cup, having won a non-stop talking contest held in Madison Square Garden. Bobby, as I remember it, proved an adept in this art while attending school. This noisy demonstration gives way to a scene in the Paramount Theatre on Broadway where a musical extrava- ganza has opened, starring Marjorie Peterson as comedy queen. In the chorus, I find Ruth Williams and Elan Fain who have been added to Albertina Rasch's group of dancers. 18 THE SENIOR YEAII BOOIK FSI' V -- ' 1'l6 :1 Again I seem to hear the rattle of typewriters. I can see a picture of a great room filled with busy stenographers. At the far end of the room is a door on which is the inscrip- tion: Gordon Michie, General Manager, J. C. Penny Co., Inc. Michie always was able to realize his dreams. Ah! The door opens and Elnora Eccleston appears. She has stood by the J. C. Penney Co., also and is the General Manager's private secretary. Perhaps none of my dreams gave me a greater surprise than this-to ,learn that Robert Drysdale has been appointed Admiral of the Swiss Navy. Evidently Bob is still sailing along as easily on the Sea of Life as he navigated through high school. Here is another picture of Westerly High Schoolg that of Bill Tuckerman taking down the scenery after the annual Senior Play. Evidently the school committee has made him Janitor for the express purpose of having someone to handle the scenery efficiently. The apparition fades and we are carried into the midst of a Ladies' Aid Sewing Circle, conducted by Lucy Rawlings. VVhat a shock to find Lucy here! Another dream brings a picture of Miss Lua Kenyon at her home in California, writing an essay on Carlyle. Miss Hanson did at least one good thing for the literary world when she encouraged Lua's study of Carlyle. When that essay is finished, perhaps we shall be able to learn something definite about him. Slowly Ringling Brothers' circus unfolds before me. Beneath its white top, Alice Harrison, the greatest snake charmer in the world, startles the audience daily with her power over the writhing venomous vipers. Among the other side show entertainers are Agnes McKellar, the fat lady, and Frank Adimari, tightrope artist. What varied talents have come to light from the Class of 1929. There! Is not that a grand sight? A broad expanse of waving grain. The owner of that vast field certainly must be rich. Why, it's none other than Sheffield Greene. I have had many hopes for Shef but none as great as this. And they say he employs only women. Yes, there is Zilla Farn- ham repairing a thresher and that looks like Margaret Foley helping Ruth Kenyon to get the horses hitched to the reaper. What a crash and a roar I heard! It is the sound of the great ocean on the war path, and there is a ship pounding to pieces under its steady onslaught. I see another small craft just outside the surf. The two vessels seem to be connected by a line. A breeches buoy is being drawn away from the stricken boat. I can discern the small boat more clearly now and recognize it as a Coast Guard Patrol boat. Captain Charles Eldridge is succeeding in rescuing the shipwrecked THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 19' Wi- W -- -la-.1 crew. Where would the seafarers be if it were not for the U. S. Coast Guard and such heroes as Eldridge and his men? Now I seem to be in the court of sunny France where I behold Louis Maggio, as the American ambassador, pleading for the signing of the latest peace pact, originated and pro- mulgated by none other than Flora Richards, Congresswo- man from Rhode Island. From France 1 am transferred to Russia where Fred Dotolo is receiving tumultuous applause for his graceful per- formance of the Russian dances. Fred carries with him the one and only one-man orchestra in the person of Amedeo- Nardone, who plays with exceeding skill, six instruments. Back in America I see a vision of the headlines of a newspaper, Republican Convention Opens on Time. That most certainly is extraordinary news. The national Re- publican Convention, being held in Indianapolis, was called to order by Miss Marion Smith. For the first time in years, the convention began on the exact minute set by the com- mittee. Well if that isn't a surprise? Marion has certainly reformed. My revelation teaches that poor John Edmond has left the world behind and plunged into the African jungle in an attempt to mend a broken heart which he suffered in his Young-er days. We sympathize deeply with his condition. Betty Davis appears to me in Boston Symphony Hall, lecturing on the subject of Blonde versus Brunette. Evi- dently Betty has been seeing the world since leaving high school. Once again comes the vision of a crowded classroom where Mary Dolan is giving out a Biology assignment. Mary's great love for the subject was apparent back in those days when she was the star pupil in Mr. Sherman's class. Ah! Another beautiful sight unfolds before me. It is a vision of a small prosperous city and on the roof of one of the factories I behold a sign which reads Hopkinton City. In the center of the little metropolis is a monument stating that the city was founded in 1930 by Miss Bertha Kenyon. Bertha has certainly made her home town live up to its name since she left High School! A cheering crowd disturbs my peaceful meditations. Switzerland, with its winter sports appears before my eyes and I find that William Brown has just been acclaimed champion skater of the world. Junie has at last glided to fame. Ah! Winter has gone and a summer scene takes its place. We seem to be present at the Olympic games where Robert Bonner has won the pole vault, the deciding event of the contests. We are indeed proud to behold the flag of the United States fluttering from the middle pole. Bohn 20 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK Val- .Img was a rather high flying youth in his schooldays, too. I see in my imagination a race track with three cars trav- eling at a terrific speed. It is the last lap and the bright blue car which was trailing the others, has come out ahead. Listen! They are announcing the winner, Edna Latondress, in such an exciting event! How some of my classmates have changed! And what is this I behold? A chain of beauty parlors managed by Harold Andrews. Permanent waves are a spe- cialty. It is said that Harold is capitalizing on the plan which he used himself in his youth. Again, I see in my mind,s eye a great quarry, the Smith Granite Works with Eloise Freeman superintending the plant. Eloise, I believe, had her eye on Smith's even when in High School. c Edna Coon, our thoughtful counsellor, appears to have been elected Mayor of Chase Hill, due to the influence of Charles Williams, political boss, who received his first in- structions from Miss Elizabeth Ring, famous historian of Westerly High School. I suddenly feel an oppressive, devastating heat. A great fire is raging and Helen Himes in the capacity of chief is on the spot directing fire fighters She has already re- ceived six medals for heroic rescues. Helen certainly de- serves much praise for her work. Well! Well! Can it be possible that Jack Clancy has exiled himself from the world and is spending his time trans- lating ponderous volumes from the Latin into English? The only thing which connects Jack with civilization is his old Dodge which was his constant companion in our schooldays. Mildred Zisquit has fulfilled her ambition and become secretary to Will Rogers, famous comedian. It was always Mildred's pet desire to be a secretary to some great man and she has unquestionably made a wise choice. Before a pealing organ sits Stanton Gavitt rendering an inspiring solo. In the old days, Stanton showed a similar interest in solemn religious music. The child is indeed father of the man. The Metropolitan Opera Company has just signed Don- na Wilcox as one of its prima donnas. Inspired by her love for her home town, Miss Wilcox is expected to appear in a recital at the Westerly United Theatre in the near future. Francis Arnone, too, has scaled the peak of fame with his remarkable invention the Peanut Sheller, which is said to shell, sort, and feed the peanuts into the mouth of the owner. Frank always was an ingenious fellow for finding Work-saving devices. It appears that the Exclamation Point, high-flying plane, has broken all records for endurance flights. The THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 21 Wil- ,ff 1- -1 :levy craft piloted by Margaret Gilchrist and designed by Emily King who also drew the plans for the Comet in which Esther Chapman will, in the near future, attempt to fly to the moon. Esther has made careful calculations and says she cannot possibly miss the earth's satellite. She plans to induce some of the lunar inhabitants to make the return trip with her that she may introduce a new species of luna- tics on this earth. I now visualize a soda fountain with Dorothy Havens and Mary La Pere behind it, juggling the soft drinks. What drinks they are, to be sure, originating as if by magic from the clever minds of the mixers. And what can this be? None other than Louis Morrone in his garage hard at work on a 1910 Ford. Louis always did like to play with his cars and wagons in his younger days and evidently has still retained his boyish mind. Ruth VanVleck is next revealed as champion flapjack turner in Dooley's Famous Chain Restaurants, owned and operated by Catherine Dooley. A similar vision presents it- self in the person of Elizabeth Bellamy, lecturing at Home Lovers' meeting. It is a pleasure to see how all three girls have profited by the experience gained in Miss Hope's Do- mestic Science classes. And what can this be? Oh, bless my wine-glass who could have fallen as low as that? Why it's Reginald Lamb, who has become captain of the Leviathan and is taking ad- vantage of his opportunities. Oh, Reginald! You used to be able to distinguish between your opportunities. But hark, I think a call! It must be my termagant wife summoning me home. I shall have to hurry on, for as I re- member it, she was inclined to be hot-tempered and after these long years of separation probably has a great store of wrath ready to vent upon my offending person. I dread to face her, but she commands my presence. I will go to her, lest anger be augmented through her having to seek me out! Come on, Wolf! . Byron McCoy ENGLISH CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOIQ 23 MBI- MN lass Will J :ef 5 J ','aibT,' We, the Class of 1929, realizing that our days of studi- ous endeavor at this beloved institution of learning are ap- proaching their end, are deeply desirous of finishing our school life in as orderly a manner as we have always con- ducted it. We, the Class of 1929, being fully possessed of sound mind, memory, and understanding do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, revoking and pronouncing void all wills, or won'ts formerly made by us. Moved by a noble spirit of benevolence and charity, we do hereby dispose of our various possessions and effects, such as second-hand deficiency slips and crippled fountain pens, after the following manner: Item One-To next year's Freshmen we give and be- queath the following warnings: 1. Wisecracks from Freshmen are superfluous. 2. If you cannot find Room 2, ask some Sophomore to go to the office and find out for you where it is located. 3. Heed the Faculty's sage advice and do not stray near the pool room lest a shortage of cue balls cause you to lose your head. Item Two-To the Freshmen we give and bequeath per- mission to properly introduce the Class of 1933 into the school. We might add that H,0, applied copiously from the collar up is very beneficial to those afflicted with swell- ing of the head, also that the Faculty is particularly partial to those who perform this major operation. Item Three-To the Sophomores we render the follow- ing words of wisdom: Always study hard, attempt to re- strain your youthful exuberance, and try to maintain an air of conscientious sobriety so that when you have at last at- tained the pomp and responsibility of being Seniors, you 24 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK HMJIL 1l6'9 may be able to uphold the dignity of that august body of students as well as we have. Item Four-To the Juniors we give and bequeath the notes and wisecracks pencilled in our various books and also the answers, 97.3424 incorrect, which we have so carefully inscribed in our mathematics books. Item Five-To Mr. Mason, our favorite companion for cosy tete-tetes, we give and bequeath a handbook of the Indian sign language to be used while trying to entice pupils from crowded classrooms without disturbing the class. Item Six-To Miss Ring, our eagle-eyed but tender- hearted room teacher, we give and bequeath the history of our class, as written by the class historian, with the desire that she will use it as a textbook while discussing momen- tuous moments in our country's progress during her class in American history. Item Seven-To Miss Hanson we give and bequeath our brilliant essays and clever short stories with the stipulation that three per cent of the royalties from their sale, when compiled, be used to buy Mr. Mason a tiddley-winks game with which to pass away the idle hours on the stage during assembly. Item Eight-I, Reginald Lamb, having been duly com- missioned to draw up this will, do hereby confer the follow- ing personal belongings of the class of 1929 upon members of the succeeding classes, hoping that they will be received in a humble and grateful spirit and properly appreciated. I, Alice Harrison, bequeath my habit of singing in the corridors, to the first deaf, dumb, and blind student to en- ter the school. I, Ruth Van Vleck, bequeath my first day's salary as a Broadway Star to the school for the purpose of buying new Ford roadsters for every pupil who had had to ride on the Hopkinton bus. I, Charles Williams, bequeath a scholarship at the Shan- nock Institute of Technology to the first student of W. H. S. to obtain an average of 100 My in both Solid and Trig. I, Mary Dolan, bequeath my reducing rollers to Eleanor Scanlon. I, Amedeo Nardone, bequeath my football mustache, II on a side, to Billy Mitchell. I, William Tuckerman, bequeath my dreamy eyes to Thomas Douglas. I, Sheffield Greene, Jr., bequeath my irresistible attrac- tion for the fair sex to Sculco. I, Joseph Itchkawich, bequeath my congomen of Bull to Faulkes, the ferocious Freshman giant. . I, Esther Chapman, bequeath my nature poems, in seven THE SENIOR YEAR BUOIK 25 VM f - V 'IGN morrocco bound volumes, to Bernie Stenhouse, whose meek manners conceal a true poetic soul. I, Gordon Michie, bequeath my love for young flowers, especially Buds to George Keller, who apparently has the same preference. I, Mary Brown, hereby relinquish all my claims to any rubies, chewing-gum, old chalk, and all other precious metals which might possibly be found in the wastebaskets, in favor of Mr. Maxwell. I, Frank Adimari, bequeath the static electricity pro- duced in my hair in Physics class to any Freshman who can use it, with the stipulation that it is not to be sold to the state of New York for use in the electric chair. I, Helen Himes, bequeath my housekeeping ability, as demonstrated on the stage during one assembly, to Everett Greene, who is a woman hater and a confirmed bachelor. I, Douglas Rae, bequeath my essay Ways and Means of Avoiding Boredom in Class to Livingstone who is taking his classes too seriously. I, Francis Arone, bequeath my knowledge of French as she is not spoke to John Sullivan who speaks it like a native Ca native of Thibetj. I, Edna Latondress, bequeath my boisterous laughter and unruly spirit in class to Spike Dolan who is too quiet to be real. I, Rupert Coleman, bequeath my filibustering ability to Miles Coulbourne with the hope that he may employ it to advantage on those dark days when he has burned the mid- night oil on the previous evening for other purposes than study. I, Charles Eldridge, bequeath the affirmative side of a debate on the subject, Resolved: That W. H. S. needs big- ger and better study periods, to Lenihan, said debate to be held with the first student who is foolish enough to disagree. The debate is to be held in the store room of the Physics Lab., debaters to be armed only with the cream puffs, Bowie knives, machine guns, and the various test tubes and dry cells which may be picked up in the course of the argument. I, Robert Bonner, bequeath my knowledge of topo- graphy, especially Vallies, to Betty Wells. I, Ruth Williams, bequeath my tremendous hands, with which I can stretch one and one-half octaves, to Albert Greene, who is thinking of learning to play the piano.

I, Robert Drysdale, 3rd, bequeath the various devices with which I have been wont to annoy the teachers, including one patent adjustable chalk flipper, one gross best elastic bands, fifty-three assorted wisecracks, and instructions for maintaining an innocent appearance, to Stahle, with the hope that he will employ them, better them, and above all, pass them on to future generations. I, Agnes McKellar, bequeath my fondness for BILL - ing and cooing to Dorothy Ryan. I, Jack Clancy, being sorry for having caused Miss Sturtevant so much trouble by writing at the top of the black-board, do hereby bequeath to said Miss Sturtevant the best stepladder which can be bought in order that she may have the laugh on Jack Wallace if he attempts to follow in my footsteps, said ladder to be paid for with the proceeds from the sale of my French compositions to any of the lead- ing French periodicals. I, Fred Dotolo, bequeath the red coat which I wore in the Senior Play to Durfee, to be cut up and used for bait for his favorite outdoor sport of hunting the wily bullfrog in the wilds of Alton's main street. I, Reginald Lamb, bequeath my booklet Il,legible Hand- writing Made Easy to Scibilia with the hope that he will soon be able to puzzle the teachers as well as I have for four years. I, Marjorie Peterson, bequeath the sweeping air of queenly dignity which I wear to accord with my cognomen of Sheba, to Ruth Saunders. We direct that the remainder of the fruits of our scho- lastic endeavor be collected by the faculty and disposed of, as models of academic skill and perfection, to the various High Schools of New England, for a sum sufficient to buy the School a steam roller of its very own, with which it may amuse the boys during recess, and also one best patented steel scraper for said steam roller for the purpose of re- moving gum in the corridors. We leave the problem of handling this combination roller and scraper, especially up and down the stairs, to the next Physics class, for a practi- cal demonstration of their ability in the mechanical field. We hereby appoint Miss Laura E. Mclntire, our beloved teacher and guardian spirit of the school library, sole execu- tor of this, our last will and testament.

THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 29 MDI. . 1 .1651 Class Statistics E U E May I take you into my confidence this evening and tell you the great news that I have been appointed assistant to Roger Babson, the most noted statistician of the country? The first delicate, but nevertheless delightful, task which my director has assigned me is to compile the statistics of the most famous class of the most famous high school in the country, the statistics to be used hereafter as a basis for judging all High School classes. Without hesitation, I chose the class of 1929 of the Westerly High School of Westerly, Rhode Island, since its perfection is unrivaled. Mr. Babson asked me to study this particular class from various standpoints. First, from that of Age, second, Intellect, third, Industry, fourth, Deportment, fifth, Phil- osophy, sixth, Disposition, seventh, Ethics, eighth, Philan- thropy, ninth, Aesthetics, and tenth, Arts. 1. Age. First, I investigated the age of the students of this remarkable class and found that though some who are real infant prodigees, ,like our class babies, Ruth Williams, and William Brown, graduate at the age of seventeen, the average age of the graduates of this class is eighteen years. 2. Intellect. The intellectual aptitude of high school students varies greatly. Here, I might mention that there is nothing quite so refreshing and entertaining as unspoiled, natural humor. Mary Dolan and Robert Drysdale are never out of sorts, and the day is never dreary enough to darken their bright and scintillating remarks. Thus it is only fair to designate them as the Wittiest members of the class. 3. Industry being the next subject of my study, I un- dertook to ascertain how the little busy bees of the class of 1929 improved their shining hours. As a result, I discovered that some of the pupils are trying to make us believe that they are not perfectly capable of attaining as great heights as others, but if it were not for their tendency toward lazi- ness and procrastination, Zilla Farnham and Bill Tucker- man, with their unusual natural talents, would find it pos- sible to become the President and Vice President of the United States. There is another student in the class who, although not all the teachers are aware of it, can get byi' without being studious, and yet none would call him lazy. Rupert Cole- man could bluff his way through any English course and make the class believe that he had sat up until three o'clock the morning before, preparing his lesson. Unquestionably, CAST NIGHT RDAY TU -SA PLAY OR SENI THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 31' van. - uw it is a gift to possess such a marvelous imagination and ability to convince. 4. Deportment. In dealing with the fourth category, deportment, I found that there was one group of pupils that noone who enters the classroom can possibly fail to notice. 'fBob Drysdale, the class cut-up will probably be seen, either strolling leisurely into class late, or hastening out, early. Mary La Pere's boisterous laughter will be heard from one end of the room to the other, and Johnnie Edmond will undoubtedly be asking nonsensical questions to use up the teacher's time, or whispering to someone who is trying to study. The visitor will almost pass by Barbara Cataldo without noticing her at all, she is so gentle and unobtrusive. This group can easily be identified as the class cut up, the noisiest person, the class pest, and the quietest member of the class. 5. Philosophy. Every group of people, no matter how small, will be found to contain within itself, representatives of the various great schools of philosophy, the stoic, the epicurean, and the cynic. Some are naturally optimists, others naturally pessimists. The class of 1929 is no excep- tion. Here, Margaret Gilchrist is the sunny little body who chases away all the blues of her classmates. A more optim- istic person than she, never was seen. As the pendulum of life always swings both ways, there is at the extreme, Jack Clancy, the pessimist. Perhaps it is owing to this skeptical attitude toward life and consequent fear of disaster that he is one of the smartest boys in the school. At any rate, he has studied so hard and with such sincerity that he has acquired the title of class grind. 6. Disposition. We do not need the old saying, Laugh and the world laughs with you-weep and you weep alone to teach us the value of a cheerful pleasant disposition. As far as this worth-while asset is concerned, Alice Ledwidge and Byron McCoy, the best natured girl and boy, undoubt- edly have an advantage over the rest of the class. The other ancient adage: Laugh and grow fat, certainly doesn't ap- ply to Byron-as for Alice-well, we'll leave that for you to decide. Buddy Briggs's tremendous popularity is sufficient evi- dence that he also possesses a friendly, likeable nature. His classmates, good opinion of him is proved by the fact that they elected him president during the senior year. 7. Ethics. In order to keep any class up to its highest standard of conduct, there must be some wise counsellor. Edna Coon took this advisory duty upon her shoulders and soon became known as the H1929 class preacher. If you doubt Edna's ability to propound her knowledge-go to the 32 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOIi wall. D519 Biology teacher, Mr. Sherman, and he will furnish all the evidence you desire. 8. Philanthropy. After careful investigation in the eighth field of inquiry, philanthropy. I decided that the one to receive the highest honor, as humanitarian is Gordon Michie, the boy who has done most for his class. He has worked with unceasing patience to solve the problems, and perform the duties assigned to him by both students and teachers. Therefore, too much credit cannot be given to Gordon. 9. Arts. But the human race craves food for the soul as well as food for the body and who but the artists of the world have been able to fill that need? The Senior Class of VVesterly High School certainly possesses its full share of Bohemians. For instance, Broadway will no doubt some day see Rupert Coleman and Ruth VanVleck starred together. Their superior dramatic performance in the Senior Play should be a good enough advertisement to carry them along the Great White Way to success. After having inspected numerous masterpieces in post- ers, signs, and sketches painted by Art Wills there could be no doubt in my mind as to the identity of the class artist. The boy with the appropriate nickname brought many an en- tertainment to the public notice by means of his clever, in- teresting pictures, and fine clear printing. No one who has once seen Betty Steadman trip the light fantastic toe will dispute her close affinity to the loveliest of the wood nymphs. Her grace and variety of steps have won her many prizes in the delightful art of dancing. So many and so varied are the arts: Why one may even be an artist in the selection of the costume he wears and Catherine Estabrook is an adept in this respect. Indeed, her taste in choosing the many different gowns which be- come her so charmingly has won for her the title of the best- dressed girl.-whereas Bob Drysdale's is a walking ad- vertisement for tailor-made, perfect fit, best-harmony clothes. It is surely no wonder that he was chosen the best- dressed boy. 10. Aesthetics. In the class of 1929, as in every group, there are those who have been especially blessed by Provi- dence with the much-sought for gift of beauty-a gift so greatly desired, that it caused one of the most famous wars in history. Donna Wilcox and Stanton Gavitt are the lucky boy and girl who outshine all the others as far as this valu- able possession is concerned. I seek not to justify my in- clusion of this bewitching attribute in a serious, scientific in- vestigation, since I thoroughly agree with the philosopher, Emerson in maintaining that beauty is its own excuse for being. THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 33 gag 1659 It has given me the greatest of pleasure to Work on the statistics of this Wonderful group, they are so thought-pro- voking and intriguing. Even to a casual observer, this class seems extraordinary, but to one Who has had the honor of being with them for four Whole years as I have, noting their personal characteristics and habits, comes the realization that their accomplishments are superior to any that have previously been attained in their Alma Mater. I therefore take this last opportunity to extend my hearty congratula- tions to the most famous class of the most famous school in the country-the Class of 1929. Bertha Florence Beaudreau. El III E E E Class Poem There is no joy surpassing that of today, For only a worthy honor can bestow such pay. There is no equal to this consolation, That of succeeding in our heart's aspiration. There is no end where we can remain, But a distant mark at which we can aim. There is nothing that shines so eternally bright As lofty learning, that sublime light. Louis Maggio CLUB RADIO THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 35 VB! 11659 Honorary Degrees DEE As President of the Mak'emover Reform School, I have been given the signal honor of presenting to all who have completed four years of earnest work, and to a few who have not, degrees for their distinguished effort in various direc- tions. I heartily congratulate them upon the marked im- provement which our efficient institution has brought about in their practical skill, their behavior and their attitude to- ward life. It is altogether fitting and proper that I should present the first degree to the class president, Bud Briggs, who in spite of his modest reserve, has shown an undying interest in his class and guided its fortunes successfully. I give him therefore, the degree of B. U. D. Bashful but unquestionably Diplomatic. On Clancy, who claims he never studies, but whose' neighbors complain of seeing lights burning in his room un- til the wee hours of the morning, I bestow the degree of M. S., Midnight Student. Since Mary Dolan is the wittiest and the most humorous lassie in our reformatory, allow me to give her the degree K. K. K., Klever Klass Komedian. To Coleman, who knows the meanings of all the longest words in the dictionary and who can employ them artisti- cally, I grant the degree of S. A. D., Shadows All Diction- aries. Edna Coon can talk for hours fand take pleasure in doing ith without stopping for breath. I, therefore, confer upon her the degree of W. C. T. U., Will Chatter and Talk Uninterruptedly. Elnora Eccleston, before coming to our institution, used to drive her car courageously through the heavy traffic in the business center of Ashaway. Thus, for her heroic bravery, I award her the degree of C. P. C., Clever Practical Chauffeur. Since, Gavitt, our track manager and trainer, gives the track men a rub down after every meet, I grant him the de- gree of R. E. D., Rubs Every Day. William Brown, our nice quiet boy, who is overcomes With fright whenever he hears a loud noise, receives the de- gree of S. H. Y., Surely Hates Yelling. Even our efficient school has not been able to solve the problem of getting Zilla Farnham to classes on time. I must, therefore, be content to give her the degree of F. A. T., Farn- ham's Always Tardy. COBIBIERCIAL CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK. 37 Yell 'PW' For William Crandall, his teachers' greatest joy--who only plays his kittenish pranks to annoy because he thinks they tease, I have reserved the degree M. O. B., Mother's Only Boy. Mary LaPere spends her time humming, when she is forced to honor our institution with her presence. Usually she is interrupted in this occupation by the teachers who do not seem to appreciate her musical ability as much as her Classmates do. Thus I give her the degree, HQO, Hums Too Often. Although Eloise Freeman says little, the muscles of her face are often seen moving in a bewildering and mysterious manner. She, therefore, deserves the degree of C. G. C., Champion Gum Chewer. To Frank Adimari, who had a tendency to be affected by flappers before he entered this reformatory, but who has changed considerably, I give the degree of T. U. F. F., Total- .ly Unaffected by Flirting Flappers. On Bob Bonner, who knows everything about every sub- ject that comes up and who can even explain Einstein's Theory, I bestow the degree of B. A. B., Bob's Always Bluff- ing. To Alice Ledwidge, who had the care of all our money during the Senior Play, and who is now responsible for the finances of the Mohican Company, I grant the degree of H. C. R., Human Cash Register. Marcia Tutsch, Alice Miner, and Bertha Kenyon are three of our inmates whose voices are seldom heard in classes, but who are always giggling outside, especially where there's nobody around. I, therefore, bestow upon them the degree of S. I. P., Snicker In Private. It causes me great pain to release into a cruel world Leonetti, the boy so quiet and bashful when he first came to us, who now deserves the degree of T. N. T., Tony,s Noisy and Talkative. Catherine Estabrook has been voted the best dressed girl in the class, and as she is seen arrayed in a different cos- tume every day of the week, I award her the degree of V. S. L., Variety is the Spice of Life. To Esther Chapman, who greets every season of the year with a pretty lyric, carrying us aloft on the wings of Pegassus, I give the degree of C. P., Class Poetess. Hal Andrews is a very quiet person and has made one of his classmates a quiet person also. Thus I bestow on Hal the degree of L. U. A., Loves Unusual Attractions. To Arnone our efficient, serious-minded clerk who spends his leisure time in a totally different manner, I grant the degree of A. 8z P., Actor and Pool Player. Whenever a concert is to be given in our institution, the .LIANDICRAFT CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 39 YYDIE:--7 A -lm distinguished professors call upon Marion Crandall to act as soloist. Thus to her I grant the degree of M. R. S., Marion Rivals Schumann-Heink. Letitia' DeRocco has a puzzling manner that perplexes our most learned instructors, so upon her I confer the degree of P. D. Q., Puzzling, Dazzling Question-mark. To noisy Doug Rae, who rarely studies except under the pressure of stern necessity, I grant the degree of S. O. S., Study or Sink. To Louis Maggio, our dreamer, who carries us far away from this material world with his philosophical speculations, I give the degree of R. F. D., Reserved, Fanciful Dreamer. Although Flora Richards has been shut up in this school for four years, she still has a welcome smile for everybody she sees. Thus to her I award the degree of S. A. P., for she will tell you that Smiling Always Pays. To Itchkawich, who didn't know what it was to be a catcher on the baseball team until he entered this famous institution, I grant the degree of K. of C, King of Catchers. The next two inmates are so closely associated with one another that they seem almost like the Siamese Twins. To Ruth Williams and Betty Davis, I consequently give the degree of T. O., Two in One. Elna Fain takes a great interest in dancing, and as our reformatory is very efficient in its method of teaching that art, she has become an unexcelled performer. I, thus, be- stow upon her the degree of S. K. S., Some Klassy Stepper. Since Elizabeth Bellamy has always reminded us of the description of Priscilla in Longfellow's Courtship of Miles Standishf' I think it appropriate to award her the degree of M. S. S., Modest, Simple and Sweet. To McCoy, who is enchanted with our methods of ac- quiring knowledge and who believes in taking his time in. do- ing it, I grant the degree of S. L. O. W., Sure Likes Our Ways. One brilliant boy in this school seems to have a weakness for the fairer sex, and, in the garden of girls, he finds one BUD especially attractive. Thus to Gordon Michie, I give the degree of G. I. R. L. S., Gordon Is Really Love Sick. Alice Harrison is another of our soloists who has won fame in Mystic, Stonington, Hope Valley, Hopkinton City, VVyoming, and other nearby metropolises. I, therefore, grant her the degree of H. T. S., High Toned Singer. Because Edna Latondress can operate the most unruly typewriter with the minimum of mistakes, I give her, as a reward, the degree of E. T., Expert Typist. Bertha Beaudreau was unanimously chosen as the girl who has done the most for her class. No one, then, can ques- tion her right to the degree of A. I. D., Always In Demand. Barbara Cataldo, the next inmate, has been so exceed- fI.'liAV.ld.l.1 CLUB THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 41 wif is-Q ingly quiet these last four years that our most honored in- structors know nothing about her except her ability as a scholar. I, therefore, give her the degree of M. M., Myster- ious Maiden. Mary Brown entered this institution chaperoned by one of her classmates. Since she has been so faithful to the es- cort who has watched over her for four years, I grant her the degree of R. A. E., Respects and Admires her Escort. Cathryn Dooley does everything in an intense manner. Why, she even takes studying seriously, so I must give her thel degree of K. A. T. E., Kathryn's Always Toiling Earn- est. y. Reginald Lamb, it is said, couldn't keep away from girls until he entered this well-known school, but now I can con- scientiously bestow upon him a degree which he has faith- fully earned. R. E. G., Reg. Evades Girls. To Marion Smith, whose pounding on the typewriter, resounds through the whole building, and who, while she is typing, looks like a fast motion picture, I offer the degree of K. S. Q., Keyboard Speed Queen. Charles Eldridge has a Ford that is supposed to carry two passengers only, but whenever there's a game or a track meet, the car is filled to overflowing. The degree that I am to award to him fits not only the receiver, but the car, so closely associated with him. R. R. R. R., Round, Rough, Ready and Roguish. Mildred Zisquit, a member of the Senior Board , has had her hands full trying to keep up with all the class gos- sip. I, therefore, give her the degree of T. O. N., Takes Our Notes. Although Lucy Rawlings has been with us only one year, during that time, she has made many friends, not only in town but also in our most efficient institution. Thus, I be- stow upon her the degree of R. A. P., Rapidly Acquires Pop- ularity. Among our inmates, we have a 'fSpeed King, who, with his Chrysler, could give Seagrave a close race. Amedeo Nar- done certainly deserves the degree S. I. R., Seagrave's In- trepid Rival. To Art Wills, who skillfully designs all the signs aid posters used in our reformatory. I give the degree A. R. T., Art's Really Talented. What Eyes! You who have seen the Senior Play will know to whom I refer. Ruth Van Vleck's mischievous eyes not only attracted her audience as a whole, but a certain member of it in particular. I therefore give her the degree of V. V. I., V. V.'s Eyes. Helen Himes is so dependable that she has been a con- tinual source of joy to the teachers of this world-famous STUDENT COUNCIL THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 43 Q60 ICM school. Since she has never failed to be prepared for her class recitations, I bestow upon her the degree of K. P., Kon- scientiously Prepared. To the next inmate, William Tuckerman, whose only weakness has been trying to keep awake, but who is now really cured of his sleeping sickness, I give the degree of W. A. B., Wide Awake Bill. To Louis Morrone, who modestly avoids the applause and praise of his associates, I award the degree of M. A. P., Morrone Avoids Publicity. Donna Wilcox, our prettiest inmate, is continually sur- rounded by a bevy of admirers. Since a new name always Seems to head the list, we wonder what has happened to those who were previously first in her affections. Under the circumstances, I feel that I must grant her the sad degree of B. O. H., Breaker of Hearts. Betty Steadman takes a great interest in the girls' gym class since it is splendid preparation for the dances she is so fond of. As she has been chosen our best dancer, I award her the degree of P. O. P., Possess Oodles of Pep. On Charles Williams, who spends his lunch hours gaz- ing in wonder at the skyscrapers and gay shop windows of our metropolis, I bestow the degree of C. L. C., Charles Loves the City. To Margaret Gilchrist, another of our tiny inmates, who walked all the way from South Franklin Street to ob- tain her knowledge in our world-famous institution, I give the degree of P. C., Plucky Child. For a whole year, Emily King has been employed as secretary by our principal, and since he still continues to dictate to her, I can conscientiously bestow upon her the de- gree, M. I. S. S., Mr. Mason's Industrious Student Secretary. Dorothy Havens is so quiet and mouselike that I should have had great trouble in choosing her degree, had it not been for a hint given by a friend of hers. Now, however, I am able to grant her the degree of D. O. T., Doctor of Teach- ing. That boy, John Edmond, carries off the palm for re- ceiving the maximum number of zeroes, and still wearing a smile. Thus, to him I give the degree of J. A. Z. Z., John's Al- ways Zigzagging Zeroes. Although Sheffield Greene was inclined to be a bit timid, uncertain, and unmindful of his abilities when he entered this institution, our thorough and efficient train- ing has caused him to blossom like the rose. I can now con- scientiously give him the degree S. H. E. F., Starts Hesi- tantly but Ends Famously. When more attractive and advanced styles come into vogue, Marjorie will certainly have something to do with 44 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK YN Y-7 MN' introducing them. No one can question her knowledge of what to wear and when to wear it. A graceful Spanish shawl is her particular delight. Thus Marjorie Peterson deserves the degree of M. A. R. I. N. E. S., Marjorie Always Reigns In New and Exquisite Styles. We sometimes wonder how the members of the A div- ision can pay any attention whatsover to such prosaic things as mere lessons when they have in their midst a curly, gold- en head of which the most exacting siren might well be proud. I think it appropriate then to award to Lua Kenyon the degree of T. O. G., Tresses of Gold. Ruth Kenyon is another girl who came to us in her Junior year from a nearby hamlet. Since her dramatic ability burst forth in all its glory at the time of the Sen- ior Play, Ruth most certainly deserves the degree B. D. A., Best Dramatist from Ashaway. Bob Drysdale apparently spends almost as much time out of classes as in. I, therefore, give to him the degree of B. V. D., Bachelor of Volcanic Deportment. Margaret Foley, our tall, athletic maiden, is very indus- trious in everything she undertakes to do. As a reward for her spirit and ambition, may I give her the degree of W. J. Z., Willowy, Jazzy and Zealous. Everyone knows Valentine Rodgers has a world of in- formation, almost enough to warrant the compilation of an encyclopedia. Thus we feel that she has certainly earned the degree O. K., Overwhelmingly Kurious. To Agnes McKellar, a very bashful member of this re- nowned reformatory, who seems to enjoy the company of other members of like nature, I give the degree of W. B., Willful but Bashful. - My dear friends: I wish to take this last opportunity to express my sincere thanks for the supreme and exalted honor which you have bestowed upon me, in asking me to present your degrees. I trust that they will meet with your approval, and feel confident that if you put into practice the virtues and skills suggested in said degrees, you will not only be a credit to your revered Alma Mater, Makemover, but will climb steadily upward along the flower-strewn pathway of success. Fred Henry Dotolo THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK I - I BATTLE HYMN OF THE TWENTY-NINERS To a High School, in the Autumn, For to learn to read and write, Came the class of Twenty-niners, Studied they with all their might. CHORUS: Oh my classmates, oh my classmates, Loyal sons of twenty-nine, Let us praise and sing together, Of our class so bright and fine Some were dumb and some were dumber But it fazed them not a whit, Now the most of them are wise , And in Congress may they sit. First as Freshmen, did we enter, These loved halls of pens and books, How we worked and how we studied Till we all wore worried looks. Then as Sophomores we were cruel, To the Freshmen next below, But the Teachers were not with us And how marks did they bestow . Next as Juniors bloomed we forth, And we dressed just fit to kill, But alas, we did not study, And our marks went lower still Then at last they made us Seniors And our dignity was great, The last three months we had to study So that we could graduate. Now the gallant Twenty-Niners Must go out and earn its way, While the lucky underclassmen, In the High School have to stay. Though the class of Twenty-niners Soon will go, and scattered be, We will surely keep forever Mem'ry of the Sixty-Three Reginald Lamb 46 THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 4 aw Vr?

The score of this memor- able battle was 25-0, with the brown-clad warriors on the long end of the count. Until the Thanksgiving Day clash, the Blue and White had enjoyed a fairly successful campaign, defeating Bulkeley, losing to Norwich Free Academy and Warwick, and playing draw contests with Central Falls, Windham and Chapman Tech, and with Stonington in the Armistice Day classic. Westerly entered the Turkey Day battle the underdog, but for the first quarter of the contest outplayed the Borough lads. At the start of the second period, however, an inter- cepted forward pass gave S. H. S. their first touchdown. For the remainder of the half, Westerly held the Brown and White scoreless. During the last half of the contest, Stoning- ton again took advantage of 'a number of unlucky breaks, and by the time the referee blew the final whistle, had piled up enough points to win two games. The Westerly team, for the most part, was made up of green material, with only three veterans from the eleven of the previous year. Considering the boys he had to work with Coach Rogers developed a fine team, and had it not been for the Stonington game, Westerly would be proud of its 1928 record. At the end of the season, James Fiore, '30, a member of the varsity for two years, was elected captain of the team to succeed Doug Rae. Fiore is one of the Blue and White's prem- ier athletes and it is expected that he will lead his team through a brilliant season. BASEBALL TEAM THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 5E l Wi f +7 - lI6 P X l as 11 Captain-Joseph Itchkawich Manager-John Edmond Coach-Joel P. Sherman When the first call went out for baseball candidates, this spring, Coach Sherman was confronted With the task of finding a pitcher or two, and three or four other men to fill in vacancies caused by last year's graduation. Undaunted by the lack of material the Blue and White mentor suc- ceeded in assembling a team that has advanced a little in excellence in every game. The record was made partly successful by defeating Stonington May 25. Capt. Itchkawich, playing his last season for the Blue and White, did his share in upholding the standard of the team. The future baseball prospect is bright since Novak, Cel- estino, Tucker, L. Dotolo, and Mudge bid fair to become real stars in another year or two. TRACK TEAM THE SICXIOR YEAR BOOK 53 160. - vf llfm u .57 T , C ! .,, ,ff e Manager-Stanton Gavitt Coach-Alex Patterson Captaizt-Robert Bonner The Track Team enjoyed a fairly successful season this year. Handicapped by ineligible and temperamental stars, Coach Patterson deserves credit for moulding a group that furnished good competition to its opponents. The team had but three meets this season and showed up rather well in these. The first was a triangular meet be- tween the R. I. S. C. Freshmen, South Kingstown and West- erly and in this contest we placed second. Our showing at Kingston in the Interscholastics wasn't very impressive but nevertheless we succeeded in placing fourth. In the Interscholastics held at New London we also at- tained fourth position. Capt. Bonner, Wills, Morrone, Rose, Cotter, Fusaro, Car- son and Deutsch were the bright lights of this yearis team. The boys who showed up so well were those who trained faithfully and they richly deserved the honor which they won. M CROSS CU ENTRY TEA THE SENIOR YEAR BOOK 55 V60 IMP CROSS CUUNTRY This has been Westerly's most successful season at cross country since the team won six of our eight meets, and fin- ished seventh in the National Cross Country Run at Newark, New Jersey. Under the direction of Coach Alex Patterson, the run- ners developed into one of the best teams in the state. They defeated Norwich, Warwick, Bulkeley, South Kingstown and La Salle in dual meets, but were shaded by La Salle by one point in the Rhode Island Interscholastic Meet at Provi- dence. The high light of the year was the winning of the East- ern Conn.-Western R. I. Conference Meet at Stonington. In this race, the Blue and White took five of the first seven places, to easily clinch the title. It was the first time in the history of the school that Westerly ever won the cross coun- try championship. Captain Ed Cotter proved to be one of the best runners, finishing first in all the meets except the R. I. Conference and the National Races. In the former, he took second place, and in the latter, 17th, in a group of 350 starters. Other men who helped make the season successful were Joe Rose, Bob Carson, Al Fusaro, Billy Mitchell, John Graves, Dick Coduri, Joe Brown and Gus Siller. All these men will be available next year, and with these boys as a nucleus, the Blue and White should have another team that will make as fine a record as did the one last fall.
