To MRS. DAPHNE WIGHT Our beloved room teacher and esteemed advisor, we sincerely dedicate this Senior Year Book. Since her advent into H'esterly High School, three years ago. Mrs. fl ight has been a true friend and help to all those associated with her. and deserves no lesser honor than this which the Class of 1931 bestows upon her.

When friends embark, who have so long Been floating side by side, They’ll soon upon life’s waters dark Be drifting far and wide. The moonlit cadence of our lives Will be in days of yore. When we were wandering here mid scenes That will return no more. No longer at the ’customed time Shall we be gathered here; No longer see our teacher’s face Or hear his words of che£r. But the memories of all our joys, Like clouds with moisture rife. Will spread themselves in pleasant showers Along the vale of life. Jenettlee Rose.

Tin: Senior Year Book— 1931 Aiiiircaa - (ClaHB Night FRIENDS—We, the class of 1931, extend to you a most hearty welcome to join with us in this, our last evening of merrymaking, as students of Westerly High School. We are justly proud of the fact that our group is the first High School graduating class to hold its class night exercises in this new Junior High School. The privilege of meeting in this splendid auditorium is but one of the many advantages which you, the people of Westerly, have enabled us, as students of the Westerly schools, to enjoy. For these advantages and the staunch loyalty with which you have supported all our activities, we thank you and wish to extend to you our sincere appreciation. Tomorrow will be graduation day for the class of 1931. It will mark the end of our High School career and the beginning of new activities for all of us. We have been striving for four years towards this goal under the faithful and sure guidance of our honored and capable teachers. The lessons which we have learned in the various phases of our school life will en- able us to confront the problems of the future with greater ability and confidence. We all hope that the friendships made and the deeds done during these four years of High School work and play will always hold a place among the pleasantest memories of our lives. During the exercises of the evening, you will hear a summary of the various feats accomplished by this class. No little part in the actual doings of these deeds has been played by the underclass members of the Westerly High School, who, by their wholehearted co-ope'ration and support of all our activities, have aided us inestimably. It is not, however, the support which we as a class appreciate most, it is the splendid spirit in which it has been given. Tonight being our last evening together, there are many matters which must be discussed and given due consideration. Thus I will now give way to the speakers of the evening, members of the class chosen to bring you various important messages. —Donald Bonner. (in (Dur 5 rhnnl Once again your doors are open That we may pass on through; In our hearts are mixed emotions. But to you they’re always true. Though afar our paths may lead us, We will never cease to long For the days we spent together In your halls so old and worn. Nelson Himes. - 10 ) - The Senior Year Book— 1931 (Clans tStstnnj SINCE I have been voted historian of this illustrious class, I shall proceed in my own frank and original manner to bring before your minds as honestly and fairly as possible the high, low, good, bad, strong, and weak points in the past of the class of 1931. In the fall of 1927 we entered Westerly High School, bringing among our one hundred and seventy-three members some of the most talented personages the world will ever know. Our revered, older schoolmates gazed with astonishment at the incoming Freshmen, and duly showed their respect by treating several to baths in the horse fountain in the park. In order to assemble ourselves to prevent further indignities, we immediately held a class meeting, electing: Charles Lamb as President, Donald Bonner as Vice President, Martha Nardone for Secretary, Florence Greig for Treasurer. These officers of the class were pledged to help, further, and protect the lives of the innocent and unsuspecting Freshmen. Thus our first year slid by, leaving only a shadow of memories to mark our initial advance in the great struggle for knowledge. From this step we were promoted to the second rung of the ladder—the rank of Sophomores. Here we were more justly appreciated, and were even allowed to attend the various evening functions of the school, most notably the Senior Prom. It was at this dance that Dot Ryan and Bur-nie Stenhouse first drew attention to their grace and beauty in interpreting the variety of dance steps, a talent which during their Senior year won for them the honor of best girl and best boy dancer, respectively. In the fall of this year the members of our class were confronted with the tremendous problem of selecting rings. With almost super-human will power we set our minds to meditate upon this enormous task, and, after due consideration, our choice was made. How proud we were when the pretty trinkets arrived and we could exhibit to the whole school the wisdom of our selection. Our place in dramatics was heralded by Althea Nichols, our best girl dramatist, who that year won the first award in Prize Speaking, competing gloriously against the older and more experienced members of the upper classes. We had for our leaders to guide us through this successful season: Dana Christy for President, John Hinchliffe for Vice President, Althea Nichols as Secretary, and Betty Wells as Treasurer. Now we see opening before us Junior year, glorious in its opportunities, and bringing to the fore many of our most brilliant and influential classmates. Before, our main efforts had been concentrated on building a strong and effective foundation of knowledge; now, for the remaining two years, our paths lay open to all the enjoyment and fun which school life could offer. Away with books and the hours of diligent study attached to them; ours was the world; and what happiness we had, we must fight for! Therefore, we started the fighting by holding a class meeting for the election of officers to lead the way through this new year’s revel. The results of the battle were: Edward Boutelle for President, Benjamin Simmons for Vice President, Anna Fraquelli as Secretary, and Eleanor Scanlon as Treasurer. Then came the Junior Prom. My! how the girls vied with each other to dress and look their best in order to receive bids from the most popular and most handsome boys in the class. The boys also appeared in gala attire with sharp creases in their trousers and bright ties to catch and dazzle the eyes of their fair ladies. It was during this contest that Marjorie Estabrook and Johnnie Nagle became con- -«s{ II )?►- Thk Sknior Year Book— 1931 spicuous for their good judgment as to what to wear, thus earning for themselves the honor of being the best attired girl and boy in the class. During this year, all the big he-men of the group responded to the insistent call of athletics. Football had first place, and in that field we were most notably represented by Stenhouse, Greene, Bonner, Codings, Payne, and Dolan, who won for us the Eastern Connecticut-Southern Rhode Island championship. Next came track, bringing forth Magni and Soloveitzik, who established an enviable record by ’’eating up” the miles. Spring now drew on, and with it baseball. Dolan and Stenhouse were again seen on the old home field, scoring their points in as specactular a manner as they had in football. We enjoyed an unusual find in Bud Christy, who, aside from being our most handsome boy, was also one of our first and best ball players. The boys were not the only ones to appear in the limelight, for at this time Anna Fraquelli and Althea Nichols made themselves famous by winning the first and second prizes in the Martha C. Babcock Essay Contest. We think this is the first time that both honors have been won by Junior students. Thus we are inordinately proud. Summer vacation finally left the venerable school of Westerly free to be patched up again in order to stand the wear and tear of our next and most important year, and gave us a slight break in the daily routine, that our health and good spirits as Seniors might be assured. We found ourselves in the autumn of 1930 congregated for the last time in W. H. S. in Rooms 7 and 10, the Senior sanctuaries, under the care of Mrs. Wight and Miss Leach. We noticed that a dignified look of responsibility and seriousness had settled upon the faces of our classmates; for we all realized the immensity of our importance. We were the heads, the leaders, and all our decisions and actions would be taken as guiding stars by the young and more inexperienced children of the school. First and foremost, it was our duty to elect our Senior class officers, who proved to be: Donald Bonner for President, Dana Christy for Vice President, Florence Greig as Secretary, and Eleanor Scanlon as Treasurer. To the Student Council this year we sent Eleanor Scanlon, the most popular girl, and Bill Dolan, the most popular and best all-round boy of our group. One of the new ideas sponsored by the council was the Friday afternoon dances, the purpose of these frolics being to bring about greater sociability among the students and between the students and teachers. Music was furnished by the school orchestra and many merry hours were enjoyed. For our Senior Play, we changed this year from the customary three-act drama to a group of three one-act dramas. What a fine representation of future actors and actresses was featured! “The Trysting Place,” a winsome comedy by Booth Tark-ington; “The Valiant,” a powerful tragedy of modern life by Hall and Middlemass, and “The Carved Woman,” an Indian fantasy, by Hartley B. Alexander, were the plays, which, under the leadership of Miss Jennie B. Stanton, enjoyed a signal success. The Prize Speaking of 1931 was unquestionably one of the best ever presented to the Westerly public; we consider it the best. Our class was creditably represented by seven members, among whom Charles Kenyon, reading “Aunt Jemima’s Pants,” won first prize for the boys, while Robert Burnett, portraying Kipling’s “Boots,” received second prize. Florence Greig, winner of the girls’ second prize, presented “Silence” by Edgar Lee Masters. The wide variety of the winners’ selections lent added fascination to the program. Now, with our course nearly completed, our thoughts are turning toward graduation—graduation, that magic word that spells reward for all the study and work of the most delightful four years ever spent; years in which knowledge has been gained, friends have been made, and everyone has been fired with the glory and enthusiasm of youth. What memories are stored away to be recalled with pleasure as long as we live! May the future of the class of 1931 be as happy as its history! —Dorothy Beaudreau. ' 4 12 fc - The Senior Year Book— 1931 (Class Will WE, the Class of 1931, being about to leave this mundane sphere, while in full possession of mind, memory, and understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us heretofore made. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong arms to give us, we do dispose of it as follows: To the incoming Sophomores we bequeath the following: All broken rulers, pencil stubs, floor scrapers, luxuries collected from us by our teachers, such as playing cards, small change, marbles, rubber dolls, and choice literary notes, that the children may be enabled to employ their study hours more happily and naturally. To the present Sophomore Class we leave the following advice, the acceptance of which will lead them to glory: Learn to work if not to win; remember that development comes sooner through bearing failures than through enoying successes. To our unworthy successors, the present Juniors, we bequeath our Senior dignity. Although we are afraid this will be a strain upon the ner%7es and muscles of that gay and debonair class, we all hope they will rise to the occasion, as they sometimes have proved themselves capable of doing. Besides these endowed gifts, we leave to the Westerly High School, not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessing and pledged loyalty from henceforth. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality soever it may be, not herein before disposed of, after paying our debts and funeral expenses, we give and bequeath to our principal, Charles E. Mason, for his use and benefit exclusively. If he sees fit, he may use the knowledge and startling information we have displayed. at whatsoever times we may have had written quizzes and examinations, in the education of our younger classmates. This matter is left entirely at his discretion. We, the Senior Class, do hereby bequeath to Miss McWeeney a brown Boston bag that possesses the magic quality of always returning to its owner. To Miss Sturtevant we leave a permanent pass to the Central Theatre with the compliments of the Senior French Class, provided that she will promise to attend religiously all the matinees. To Miss Hanson we leave the copyright privileges to all our essays, stories, and poems. To Mr. Maxwell we leave a manicuring set, with which to trim his pet cat’s nails, to the end that the mischievous urchins of the school can play with the creature without damage to life and limb. The members of the class bequeath the following personal belongings: 1. I, Evelyn Wilson, do hereby bequeath my title of class baby to Charles St. Onge, but do sincerely hope that he will not annoy the teachers by suddenly bursting into childish tears and having to be pacified. 2. I, Marrack Collins, do hereby bequeath my romantic tendencies to Lyle Burdick, who. I understand, is in desperate need of them. 3. I, Harold Soloveitzik, do hereby bequeath my love of flowers, especially of “Roses,” to Dorothy Ouelette of the incoming Sophomore Class. 4. I, Burnie Stenhouse, bestow my ease and grace on the dance floor upon Charles Crandall of the Junior Class. 5. I. Edward Boutelle, bestow my timid and quiet behavior on the Ashaway-Hope Valley school bus upon Harold Kenyon, hoping that next year he will emulate his worthy brother and me. 6. I, Ruth McCoy, do hereby bequeath my tremendously stentorian voice to Mildred Kirby of the Junior Class. 7. I, Althea Nichols, do hereby bequeath my nervous hesitancy in English Class to Barbara Sherman. 8. 1, Charles Kenyon, bestow my shy, bashful, and retiring demeanor upon Jack -4. 3 I? -- Tin: Senior Year Book— 1931 Scanlon, thereby giving my sum of more to that which has too much. 9. We, Donald Bonner and Elizabeth York, do bequeath our tried and true loyalty to each other to Harold Edmond and Beatrice Lowry. 10. I, Carl Sposato, bequeath my newly invented, original and ingenious method of bookkeeping to John Collins. 11. I, Constance Hamilton, bestow my title of the Children’s Poet on Leo Dotolo of the Junior Class. 12. I, Margaret Whalen, do hereby bequeath my position as the chief piano player of the High School jazz orchestra to my baby sister, Elizabeth Whalen, trusting that she will uphold the family reputation. 13. I, Elizabeth Edmond, bestow my stately bearing and queenly dignity upon Mary Low of the Junior Class. 14. I, Anna Fraquelli, do hereby bestow my happy, cheerful, and lovable nature upon Frances Cook, who always appears so very gloomy. 15. I, William Mitchell, bestow my towering height and massive stature upon Wallace Lamb of the Junior Class, who has need of these qualities if he wishes to engage in life’s struggle on equal terms with others. 16. We, Eliseo Magni and Nelson Himes, do hereby bequeath our admiration for and understanding of the fair sex to Robert Mudge and Arthur Sisson. 17. I, Frances Farnham, bequeath to the trophy room my numerous tardy slips. 18. I, William Dolan, bequeath to Billy Carpenter my uncanny knack of hearing the fire alarm, no matter where I am. 19. I, Jerry Sculco, leave to Wally Lamb my ability as a mathematician, trusting that some day it will make him as famous as the renowned Professor Einstein. 20. I, Eleanor Scanlon, bequeath to Raspberry Falcone the care of my brother Jack, hoping that he will be able to take better care of him, and guide his path more wisely, than I have done. We do hereby constitute and appoint our honored and beloved principal, Charles E. Mason, sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1931, the testators, have to this, our last will, written on the one sheet of parchment, set our hand and seal this 23rd day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one. Respectfully submitted, Burnie Stenhouse. WE, Edward Boutelle and Charles Kenyon, having been appointed to confer upon our most amiable associates their honorary degrees, do whole-heartedly conclude that it is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly; if we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety; if we publish things from other exchanges, they say we are too lazy to write. What’s to be done? Like as not some one will say we swiped this from an exchange. We did. We shall endeavor to expand the confines of our own fickle mental span, and, if possible, make these degrees complimentary, descriptive, explosive, and awe-inspiring, or something. Our class is composed of innumerable species, ranging from the most illustrious students to ordinary plugs. So— Here’s to those who love us, And here’s to those who don’t; A compliment for those who are willing to, And a slam for those who won’t. On our Class President, Donald Bonner, who has proved himself so daring in love and so gallant in war, we take pleasure in The Senior Year Book— 1931 conferring the degree L. I. B., Love Is Beautiful. To Harvey Conklin, the member of our class who never changes, we give the degree S. S. D., Sober, Steadfast, and Demure. To Constance Hamilton, who has contributed much in poetry to the Senior, we give the degree O. C. P., Our Class Poetess. Arthur Lenihan’s scholastic standing proves very conclusively his right to the degree N. C. B., Never Cracks a Book. We have among us a genius who, unlike Lincoln and other great men, rode great distances through woods, assisted only by a ticket book, to procure an education which has already earned for John Hinch-liffe the degree M. 0. C., Mayor of Carolina. William Dolan is the hero of our class. During his four-year term as faculty advisor in our most efficient reformatory, his diplomatic ability has been confirmed, to say nothing of his athletic achievements. We deem it fitting and proper to bestow upon him the degree D. O. T., Doctor of Tactics. To Henry Stahle and Robert Burnett, pals whose minds run along the same channels, we confer the degree T. M. B. A. O., Two Minds But As One (Half wits). This year’s Senior has brought much credit to bear upon Althea Nichols, who well deserves the degree A. G. E., Althea’s a Good Editor. A questionnaire circulated among the Seniors revealed Hope Hoxie as the most beautiful girl in our class. To this honor we attach the title, Miss 1931. The many prizes and awards Mary Bro-phy has won qualify her for the degree K. S. D„ Keyboard Speed Demon. Among those who excel in scholastic achievements are Ruth McCoy and Eleanor House. We are pleased to confer upon these two sincere and intelligent students the degree A. R. T., Always Remain Taciturn. Frank Turano is a credit to any class. He was an outstanding performer on the football team and those who saw the Senior Play are convinced that he deserves the degree O. C. A., Our Class Actor. Dorothy Ryan, the petite telephone operator, is the BELL of the town, and although she does not get coronets, she often gets rings. Dot is entitled to the degree N. P., Number Please. The spirit of youth, that’s he. If you should see John Nagle spinning your way on the dance floor, duck, for his degree is D. I. C., Danger Is Calling. Burnie Stenhouse is one of those all-around athletes who do two things at once and do them well. For four years Burnie has played the game while tipping his hat to the crowd. Upon this youth we bestow the degree H. D. H. B., He Did His Best. Upon Jean Meikle we take pleasure in bestowing the honorary degree O. C. A., Our Class Actress, and if you saw her play the part of Josie in the Senior Play, you know why this title is fitting. Marrack Collings and Thurston Rider are two brilliant lads, both gifted with oratorical eloquence and a great deal of self-satisfaction. To these pals, we give the degree B. B., Big Boys. An earnest, hard-working chap is Harold Soloveitzik, who has served the Senior so well by pestering every merchant in town for an ad. Upon Harold, therefore, we confer the degree C. T., Clever Talker. Men may come and men may go, but we, Katherine Blake, Frances Farnham, and Violet Marra, go on forever. Upon these fair damsels we confer the degree T. A., Teen Age. To Margaret Ribner, who was chosen the wittiest member of our class, we give the degree W. I. T., Witty, Intelligent, and Tenacious. In any group of persons, there will always be one outstanding member. Such a one is Martha Nardone, upon whom we confer the degree T. W. M., The World is Mine. Upon Anna Fraquelli, who is one of our most illustrious and cheerful students, we bestow the degree O. 0. U., One Of Us. If silence is golden, Elizabeth Edmond is worth her weight in that precious metal. Her degree is S. S., Sure Success. George Binns is always found in the presence of men and never mingles with the fairer sex. This wise young gentleman rightly deserves the degree A. B. A. H., A Bachelor At Heart. Jerry Sculco is an information department for anything you wish to know in the mathematics or science line. Thus his honorary degree is S. F., Smart Fellow. To Ida Perry, who always has her les- -4 '5 )►- The Senior Year Book— 1931 sons prepared and is often called upon to save an erring classmate from living in a zero atmosphere, we give the degree Q. B. S., Quiet But Sincere. A true sportsman and a real gentleman is Everett Greene. His easy-going and carefree manner has won him many friends. Upon this frivolous towhead we bestow the degree W. W., Why Worry? William Mitchell, the “nehi” of our class, observes much and says little. Upon this active youth we confer the degree T. T., Tom Thumb. Mary Dunn, a loquacious young lady, although a good student, has enjoyed her four years’ stay in W. H. S. because of her optimistic attitude. An appropriate degree for Mary is L. A. F., Let’s All Fool. Upon Ben Simmons, who has recently gained tame in politics, due to his advocating of sweeter sugar, more water in watermelons, more salt with less shaking, and a general revision of the elements, we bestow the degree L. D., Lame Duck. To Miles Coulbourne, the domestic member of our class who attends strictly to his one and only, we give the degree S. I. D., Sure Is Devoted. To Arthur Lawton, for his distracting ways, we give the degree G. A. B., Good American Boloney. Upon Elizabeth York and Dorothy Beau-dreau, who, although they have contributed their share to class activities, have proved themselves so able in the gift of gab with which our class is generously endowed, we bestow the degree G. T. F., Get The Facts. To Marjorie Estabrook, who has been chosen the best dressed girl in our class, we give the degree S. 0. S., Stamp of Style. On Samuel Shawn, who has never at any time or under any conditions shown any inclination to hurry, we confer the degree S. A. M., Slow and Moderate. Mary Bray, Margaret Whalen, and Mary Mearns have many state secrets and rare peculiarities in common. Thus, upon them we confer the degree J. A. O., Just Among Ourselves. Upon Stephen Zegarzewski, a youth prominent on the social register in the fair village of Hope Valley and also very enthusiastic in school events, we confer the degree C. G., Country Gentleman. Since the aforementioned questionnaire revealed Evelyn Wilson as our class baby, to her we give the degree M. L. G., Mother’s Little Girl. On Ellen Michie, who favors a shy and bashful demeanor to some extent, we bestow the degree N. 0. O. L. Y., No Other One Like You. Upon Jenettlee Rose, the quietest member of our class, who is often seen but never heard, we bestow the degree P. D. Q., Pretty Darn Quiet. To Mildred Young, who is the leading salesgirl in our class, we give the degree P. A. T., Particular, Attentive, and Tenacious. On Mildred Signor, Rose Castagnaro, and Mary LaVia, three outstanding athletes, we confer the degree A. B., Athletic Bugs. To Edith Simmons, who just loves asking questions in stenography, we give the degree Q. C., Questioning but Cute. Harrison Smith, although known as Rudolph Valentino in Ashaway, is recognized in W. H. S. as the best sport in his class. His degree is C. 0., Class Optimist. Frank Liquori and Adam Moscaritolo entered this institution as students and have achieved knowledge a la W. H. S. Upon these diligent lads we bestow the degree F. W.. Fellow Workers. Nelson Himes and Eliseo Magni have scientific brains. Perhaps Einstein knows his elements but these two authorities may soon make the clever German recognize the Magni-Himes Theory. We give them the honorary degree S. B„ Scatter Brains. To Anna Rinne, because of her grasping ways, we present the degree I. M., It’s Mine. The color combination of our class is upheld by one Carl Sposato, who always drapes his manly form in green. To him we give the degree C. S. I. G., Carl Specializes In Green. During the four years she has spent with us, Pearl Payne has been the most sensitive member of our class. Upon her, therefore, we confer the degree P. P. P„ Please Pet Pearl. Mildred Ross, the most devoted member of our class, has enjoyed so many miles of happiness throughout her school term that upon her we confer the degree M. I. L. E. S., Mildred Is Loving Every Second. 16 )►— The Senior Year Book— 1931 During her four years at our school, Eleanor Scanlon has added much prestige to our class. Thus upon her we bestow the degree E. C. S., Energetic, Cheerful, and Sociable. Florence Moran has always been one of us. Due to her faithfulness to her studies, we present her with the degree D. A. I., Dependable As An Ingersoll. By hard work at her books, Florence Greig has earned for herself the highest rank our class can offer—Valedictorian. To her we give the degree F. L. U. F. F., Fluff Laughs at Us Foolish Fellows. To Ray Payne, the slow and sophisticated member of our group, who throughout the four years in school has never overexerted himself, we give the degree J. R. P., John Rises Presently. To Elizabeth Thomson and Alice Webster, two gay commuters, we give the degree R. F. D., Rarely Feel Demure. Mary Gencarelli is one of those uncommon individuals who are seldom heard, but never seen with a glum face. Her degree is N. W. S., Never Without a Smile. Although Clara Fish doesn’t bother with the boys, she is always ready to giggle at their jokes. Her degree is O. M. I. N., Opposes Men In Nature. Since for four years Eleanor Kenyon has struggled over the keys of her typewriter, we give her the degree H. S. H. T., How She Hates Typewriting. Frances Johnson is of a very quiet nature but she can always be depended upon to recite in class. Upon her, therefore, we bestow the degree E. R., Ever Ready. A1 Fusaro, an outstanding cross-country man, can propel his short, arch-like legs around the course in such a manner that the spectators believe him to be the modern Pheidippides. His degree is A. F., Athlete’s Feet. Upon Rose Hoadley, an ambitious associate, we confer the degree W. 0. R. K.. Worries Over Receiving Kredits. Earl Carpenter and Dana Christy, an inseparable pair, are like a kerosene lamp. They are not especially bright, generally smoke, frequently go out at night, and are usually turned down. The degree with which we adorn these youths is G. K„ Gentlemen Kings. May Gould, the last on our list, but far from the least, deserves the degree E. N. D., Ever Notably Dependable. Now, friends and otherwise, we have conferred your degrees to the best of our childish ability. May they spur you on to greater depths than you would otherwise have been able to fathom. So— Here’s to those who love us less And the few who love us more; We hope that we haven’t hit too hard And still have friends galore. (Claris JJrn hrrif MR. BACON, Mr. Mason, Teachers, President Donald Bonner, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Fellow Members of the Class of 1931: It is our honor to have been entrusted with the class prophecy, by the students who at this time are celebrating their graduation from W. H. S. Miss Dorothy Beau-dreau will later inform you of the feats accomplished and prowess displayed by various individuals, and of the credit and honor amassed by the class as a whole, which has served to further the high esteem in which this institution of learning is regarded throughout the United States. To Miss Beaudreau, then, in her capacity as historian, we leave the recounting of the deeds performed by the class up to our graduation in the year of our Lord 1931. To us is left this difficult task of attempting to prognosticate the position in life which the members of this same class may have attained by the year 1951, when they have completed, at least partially, their —i7 The Senior Year Book— 1931 secondary education in the school of experience. It is by the symptoms, traits, and characteristics exhibited while they were our fellow students that we shall attempt to predict their choice of profession. So let us transport ourselves in imagination, twenty years hence. First to mind comes President Donald Bonner.

These are the means for widening our skylines ; Here are the sparks to kindle greater service. O it is not alone your knowledge, teachers. It is yourselves you’ve given us, unknowing. How long we’ve waited for these last few moments; And now they’re come, wistfully slow, we linger. O may we never lose that happier spirit; Gladly we go, gladly we leave, dear school! Look ho!

We’re expecting you, Al,” to make great strides toward success with that personality aided by those legs.

The nursery rhyme says that King Cole was a merry old soul. This fits our Mary-well (except for the age) when she comes merrily into class, bringing a ray of sunshine, even on the dullest of days. Mary isn’t always seen but her giggles may be heard at almost any time of the day or night. To see her is to love her. And love but her forever.

There is no need to elaborate on Ev’s” brilliant athletic career—sufficient to say that next fall other schools are going to breathe a sigh of relief and begin to smile. Why?

She is a very capable guard on the girls’ basketball team, where her agility and alertness have won many a victory. We believe that if Mary would take up tennis, she would become a second Helen Wills Moody—so spry is she. The reason firm, the temperate will. Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill.

If he can go through life the way he goes through those algebra and trigonometry problems, he will certainly be a success. One of the reasons for Frank’s efficiency is his ability to avoid the advances of the fairer sex. And they shot men like Lincoln. The simple things, the true things, The silent men who do things.

Senior Play, 4. Honor Hull, 4. Gym, 4. Ruth has always been spoken of as one of the quietest girls in our class. She is gentle, not only in actions, but also in speech. In fact, she’s so retiring that we feel we do not know her as well as we might There are rumors afloat, however, that she is not so silent outside of school. But as she leaves town on the bus for Hope Valley as soon as school closes, we lose track of her, and cannot tell how true these rumors are. That mischievous twinkle in her eye might give us an indication, however. A roguish smile shone in her eyes And cn her lips found place.” Mary Margaret Mearns, “Mearnsie” ELM STREET SCHOOL Gym, 1. 4.

Thme eyes like twin stars shining.” Adam Leo Moscaritolo, “Ad” ELM STREET SCHOOL Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Gym, 4. Interclass Football, 4. A. A., 4. Due to Adam's fine work in interclass football games, the Seniors carried off the honors in that sport. When “Ad” goes out riding in his Buick, the girls all look, but he nonchalantly steps on the gas. Adam certainly co operates with Frank in their ‘Woman Haters' Club.

A jolly crowd, a little green car (or it may be a blue one, a gray one, or a red one), and the PERFECT driver, Martha! You can be sure she always does something different and amusing, as all her friends know from experience. But her appreciation of beauty, which marks her personality, is the real keynote to her charm and character. She is than white-stoled lily far more fair. And oh. her eyes are heaven lit with dreams.

Sometimes we wonder what Al” is thinking about in classes when she gazes out of the window with dreams on her face and sun in her eyes. We can think some rather nice things ourselves by just looking at her. But there is no one who can giggle as she can once she gets started, and it’s infectious, too. When anything goes wrong, it magically smooths itself out when she sympathizes and advises, witness, the Senior ! Which senior? Well— But if she smiled, a light was on her face, A cool, clear kindliness. 3' The Senior Year Book— 1931 Pearl Pauline Payne, “Peg ELM STREET SCHOOL Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Glee Club, 2, 3, 4.

Anna has an extraordinary proclivity for Freshmen—or should we say Freshman”? Indeed, ever since the children moved over to the new Junior High, she has been notice ably pensive and sad. Almost everybtidy yearns for a trip abroad, but Anna, the lucky girl, has no such yearning. Why? Because she has already been there. Again we repeat —lucky girl! She mixes reason with pleasure.

Contrary to some of the rest of the class. Jenettlee is a sincere believer in the old ad age, Speech is silver, but silence is golden.” When Lee” blushes, which she d es very often, we are reminded of the flower from which her surname is obtained.

Mildred Ross, “Dinkie” “Mind” PAWTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL Chorus, 3, 4. Dramatic Club, 3. Reception Committee, 3. Senior Prom Commitee, 4. Gym, 4. Senior Play, 4. What eyes! What a smile! And what a personality! Dinkie s charming smile has won her many an admirer, and we know one in particular who would walk Miles” to see her. Although Dinkie has been with us only two years, during that time she has made many fnends. She is undecided about what career she will follow when she has completed high school.

You will never find her at a loss for a clever comeback to any one of the wise remarks of the other students. We have heard that Dot is going to Georgia to invest in sugar Kane , but need she go so far? Come, let us go. while we are in our prime, And take the harmless folly of the time.

Lib is the type you so often read about, but so seldom see. She is pretty and witty as well as lovable and sweet. Her charming smile makes trouble an outcast. She is a popular person and when she is not busy Don ning, she can find a little time for her girl friends. We just can’t help loving her, because she has always been—just Lib. “My true-love hath my heart and I have his. By just exchange, one for another given. Stephen Zegarzeuski HOPKINTON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Chorus, 3. Interclass Baseball, 3. Baseball, 4. To his friends, Stephen is a jewel of companionship, and to the students he is known as a benefactor. His dependable fielding and clever work with the bat have aided our baseball team in many a victory. We are certain that 4his active classmate will meet with success in later life. With my friends may I share what today may afford. And let them spread the table tomorrow. fflnttii (£nlura Conantes Egredimur (Endeavoring, We Go Forth) Crimson and Silver 37 The Senior Year Book— 1931 S nttnr Jknj THIS year the Senior class chose to put on three diversified one-act plays. Those that were selected, after many weeks of indecision, were The Valiant,” “The Trysting Place,” and The Carved Woman.” In “The Valiant,” a prisoner awaiting his dying hour has been brought to the warden’s office. After hours of kindness and questioning, he has failed to reveal his right name to the chaplain or the warden. A girl, with full permission, comes at the last minute, in an effort to prove that he is her long lost brother; she fails, too, and he goes to the execution room with his identity unknown. “The Trysting Place” seems to be all that the name implies, since it is in great demand by the widows, elderly men and women, and sons and daughters that are --5(38)3- Tiie Senior Year Book— 1931 staying at the hotel. All try to impress the others with the idea that they are very dignified and proper. When with their own personal friends of the opposite sex, however, they change their attitude noticeably. Last comes “The Carved Woman,” em- bodying all the ceremonial functions of the Indian. It is a spiritual drama which makes a very deep impression on those who see it. These three plays provide an unusual variety of entertainment. —Edward M.

Dana Christy STARTING the season with a nucleus of ten or eleven veterans, Coach Rogers developed one of the best teams Westerly has ever had, if not the best. It captured the Eastern Connecticut-Southern Rhode Island Conference Cup and was rated high in the Rhode Island Conference. Captain Dolan and Burnie Stenhouse were chosen for the All-State team, while Mudge, C. Lamb, and Trum-petto were placed on the second team lineup. Out of the ten games played. Westerly won nine and lost one, this one being given to Warwick by the score of 7-0. We also won the inter-town championship through defeating Stonington by the scores of 12-6 and 12-0. Charles Trumpetto, ’32, was elected captain of next year’s team. Since he has played for two years and has been an outstanding player on the line, it is expected that he will also lead a championship eleven. (£wb� 3 (Cmmtnj Capt.

At the end of the season, Nick Furcolo was elected captain for the 1931 season. 44 j5 - The Senior Year Book— 1931 HaaebaU Capt. Burnie Stenhouse Coach Joel P. Sherman Mgr. Edward Boutelle THIS year’s baseball team is one of the most successful Westerly High has boasted in a long while. Starting with the first five games, we defeated Norwich, Providence Tech, and South Kingstown. The pitching has been divided between Murano, Mudge, Azzinaro, and Shawn. Murano has turned in some fine games, with the others not far behind. Other men who have helped to make the team a success are Capt. Stenhouse, Christy, Dolan, Mudge, Dotolo, Zegarzewski, Collins, Gingerella, Larkin, and Carpenter. Most of the regulars will be lost for next year, but there are plenty of players coming along who bid fair to take their places. arark Capt. Everitte Greene Coach Stanley Martoski Mgr. Harold Soloveitzik THE track team this season is not as strong as in former years, lack of distance men weakening the squad considerably. Thus Mr. Martoski deserves great credit for developing such a team out of the material he has had. In the first meet of the year, we finished third against Providence Tech and R. I. State Frosh in a triangular meet held at Kingston. We next made a very good showing at the annual interscholastics at Kingston, finishing second with a total of 40 points. This is the first time in several years that we have scored 40 points at this meet. There are two more meets scheduled with Norwich and the final league meet at Kingston. Captain Greene, Himes, J. Mudge, Ca-palbo, C. Lamb, W. Lamb. Trumpetto, B. Mudge, and Magni have been helpful in thf scoring of points this season. Greene is undefeated in the dashes and low hurdles. 45 The Senior Year Book— 1931 Aiiuertismg Section On the Following Pages [Fill Be Found the Names of Those Public-Spirited Citizens of This Community Who Made This Year Book Possible By Advertising Read the Advertisements and Patronize the Advertisers J.
