Ailitri'aa nf UU'lrnnu' V A Teachers, Students, and Citizens of Westerly, the members of the Class of 1932 extend to you a most cordial welcome to their last evening of joy and frolic together as students of dear old Westerly High School. Tonight marks the end of our secondary school career and this is our last meeting in the building in which we have spent so many pleasant hours. We have worked for the past four years, at the same time forming friendships which will be lifelong. We have indeed learned the value of comradeship. But in spite of all, we are only on the margin of a great experience, the greatest of all experiences—“Life.” Life will lead us into different paths, some of us along that of preparation for the various arts and professions, others along a more direct way to the world of business, but whatever the direction of our journey, we shall carry with us the memories of some of the happiest associations of our lives. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our esteemed faculty for their kindly patience and consideration in guiding our footsteps. We certainly hope that classes in the future will appreciate them as much as we have. We desire also to tell the underclassmen how highly we prize the help and cooperation they have given us during the past three years. Last, but certainly not least, may we express to you, Citizens of Westerly, our gratitude for your interest in all our undertakings, both scholastic and social. Tonight let us put the gloomy side of our graduation behind us and give ourselves entirely to happiness. When the fun is over, you will know something of our past as well as of our future. May these moments spent in jokes and revelry be among the jolliest in all our lives. —J. H. Shibilio 'W7wmr'i f mmm Nmwwww Class Snstnry mhm. mmmr A Friends and Classmates, as your historian, I have imagined myself a playwright and have endeavored to present the events of our high school life in a true dramatic style. Shall we fancy ourselves this evening enjoying a little drama in four acts? The Place Westerly High School The Time.............. From 1928 to 1932 The Characters Faculty of W. H. S. and the members of the Class of 1932 ACT I (Freshman Year) We open the heavy doors to knowledge. SCENE I (in Room 3, October, 1928) Teache (impressively): “Why, oh why, aren’t you studying? Here you are wasting your time and you have no idea how much there is to accomplish before mid-year examinations.” Freshman (hopefully): “Well, they aren’t hard, are they?” Teacher: “How pathetic to be a Freshman, who has not even begun to realize the value of study! He knows not and he knows not that he knows not.” Thus we were initiated into the serious need of applying ourselves to study. SCENE II (in the Assembly Hall) Quiet and subdued, like little mice, the awe-stricken Freshmen gather for their first class meeting. Miss McWeeney (urging confidence): “Now, children, it is the custom for every class to choose officers to manage its affairs.” Class (responding): “For our leader—Sammariva, He who wields the brush and pencil; Next in power, if he should fail us, Dotolo, of voice uproarious; As our secretarial maiden, IO The Senior Year Book—1932 We select the dainty Betty; And our stores of gold and silver We present to Mary Clancy.” Exeunt the Freshmen—more self-reliant than when they entered. SCENE III Place—The Same. The benevolent Seniors are giving the infants a gay little party to make them feel at home. Alice Ledwidge: ‘‘Now, little girlies, we have purchased wide green hair ribbons for you, that you may all look pretty and sweet this afternoon. Come and let your big sisters tie them on for you.” Freshmen (meekly): “Yes’m.” Betty Davis: “Dear children, join hands and we will have a pleasant game of drop the handkerchief.” (General uproar, but Mary Low is found crying because the handkerchief is not dropped at her place. Ruth Williams secures the handkerchief and tenderly wipes Mary’s eyes.) Next an entirely happy game of “Ring Around the Roses” is enjoyed. Freshmen singing: “Ring around the Roses, Pocket full of Posies; Ashes, Ashes, all fall down.” Lucy Rawlings (dramatically): “Now, girlies, take sides for the final grand event, the Tug of War—Seniors versus Freshmen.” Freshmen, in their fury at witnessing the superior strength of the Seniors, childishly break the rope, making it necessary for Mr. Maxwell to procure another. At last, however, when all are quieted, Miss Ring calls out, “Refreshments, little ones! Every little girl must have her bottle of milk and doughnut before going home to bed.” Exeunt the Freshmen ACT II (Sophomore Year) SCENE I Mr. Stevens (quietly): “Young people, you must not forget your Sophomore dignity. Class meetings should always be conducted according to true parliamentary procedure. Now to the election of officers!” “Mid a deal of praise and glamour, We choose Bob Mudge to wield the hammer; Next in authority—Joe Brown, Musical chief of great renown; Because of his handwriting fine, Charlie St. Onge is next in line; The Senior Year Book—1932 11 And to Laura Walker, much adored, We all present our silver hoard.” Singing gaily, the Sophomores leave the hall. SCENE II (Room 1, Second Class Meeting) Bob Mudge, addressing eager throng: “To demonstrate our status as Sophomores, we should wear some distinctive symbol—something in the way of jewelry. Which appeals to you more strongly—rings or pins?” Class (as one man): ‘‘Rings! Rings! Pins are too com- mon.” „ Bob Mudge: “Rings are expensive, you must remember. Joe Markoff: “What do we care for money, when it is a question or being satisfied?” Class: “Yes, Joe is right; we will appoint Betty Thompson to collect the amount due from each member. None can resist her sweet smile.” SCENE III (Room 1, Geometry Classroom, January, 1930) Mr. Maxwell’s black cat walks across the desk in the front of the room. Mr. Stevens (frowning): “Before I pass back your midyear examination papers, I should like to give you a word of warning. Unless you improve this next half year, I fear that the credits in Geometry will be few. You must not put aside your reasoning powers just because you are confronted by an examination paper.” (Passes out papers to trembling students.) (As the students file out, they are heard talking it over.) Charlotte Gardiner: “Why, up to now, studies have been the least of our worries, but Geometry certainly has proved our Waterloo.” Virginia Murray: “And I surely can’t afford to lose five whole credits this year.” Mary Low: “Well, never mind, Sophs, we can take a make-up next fall.” Curtain ACT III—Junior Year SCENE I (Room 9, Sept., 1930, Class Meeting) The gay and debonair Junior Class must have counsellors to guide its destiny. We give to our musical lad, Joe Brown, The place of Head Counsellor, chief in renown; Next, from the peaceful White Rock dales, We choose Joe Markoff, who never fails; Dot Rodger, we appoint our writer, For keeping records, none is like her; 12 The Senior Year Book—1932 To Margaret Keenan many large sacks We give, to hold our sundry greenbacks. Entirely satisfied with ourselves and our selection, we leave the meeting uproariously. SCENE II (February, 1931) The Assembly Hall is magnificently decorated in honor of St. Valentine with red and white hearts and plump Cupids. The never-to-be-forgotten Junior Prom is in progress. Frances Cook: “Oh, what perfectly heavenly decorations! How hard the committee must have worked to arrange everything so tastefully. We owe them a vote of thanks!” Gus Siller: “How pretty the girls all look! I don’t usually notice how girls are dressed, but it seems to me that everyone looks especially pretty tonight.” Margaret Keenan: “Yes, doesn’t Charlotte Gardiner look adorable in that attractive white gown?” Mary Lynch: “Oh, I do wish I could have a Cupid and heart to put in my souvenir book.” Arthur Wills: “I can easily procure one for you.” (Mary is given Cupid and we all leave the hall, each girl accompanied by her god of love.) SCENE III (Room 9, May, 1931) Monday morning after R. I. S. C. Field Day. Enter Theresa Matarese. Greetings from all sides: “Oh, Theresa, how did you ever do it?” Leo Dotolo: “Why, I couldn’t win a chemistry prize here in high school, to say nothing of getting the highest mark in the State of Rhode Island.” Theresa (blushing): “Oh—that really wasn’t much. It was an easy test.” Classmates: “Well, it seems like a great deal to us and we certainly are proud of you.” ACT IV SCENE I (Room 7, Class Meeting) The class decrees that— “The rod and sceptre will Be held by John Shibilio, And if he should ever fail us, Theresa Matarese will guide us; In wise Athelina’s reference We’ll find every Class occurrence; And to our lassie, Mary Low, We give our money, away to stow.” The Senior Year Book—1932 13 (They troop into the corridor, the Seniors feeling that their dignity and destiny are duly safeguarded.) SCENE II (Assembly Hall) The rollicking Halloween Prom is in progress. Seniors lay aside their accustomed solemnity while tripping the “light fantastic toe.” “Satch” Wallace (gazing tenderly over the corn-stalks, pumpkins, and solitary head of cabbage)—“Wifey, how do these decorations appeal to you?” “Satch’s Wife”—“Oh, they’re attractive, but don’t you think last year’s class had prettier ones?” “Satch“—“It would put me in an embarrassing position to answer that question. At any rate the orchestra is excellent and the dancing divine.” To the gliding strains of “Mar-gy” they lose themselves in the maze of the dancers. SCENE III (Assembly Hall, Thursday before Christmas) Our class is particularly fortunate in having so many and such fine lettermen as: Robert Mudge, Charles Trumpet-to, Leo Dotolo, Arthur Sisson, Charles Lamb, Myer Itchka-wich and Samuel Azzinaro. Coach Rogers (presenting sweaters)—“Bob Mudge would rather not have his sweater for Christmas because he wants a clean one for graduation, but we have a sweater lor him just the same—this pretty pink baby sweater with a blue W! He will be able to wear it sometime, if he grows small.” (Mudge takes his seat in the midst of high hilarity.) Mr. Findlay (rising)—“It gives me great pleasure to present to Mr. Trumpetto, representative of the Westerly High School student body, this silver cup. It is an appropriate tribute to Westerly’s victories in football over her longstanding rival, Stonington.” Trumpetto—“I can assure you, Mr. Findlay, that Westerly High and its football team are deeply grateful for your generosity. Truly, this Christmas, Santa Claus is with us.” SCENE IV (Junior High School Auditorium—April, 1932) The Senior Class presents “The Enemy” by Channing Pollock. Time—After the Play. Miss Locke: “That was certainly a remarkable piece of acting.” Miss Stanton: “Well, we all worked with the best spirit imaginable to make it a success.” Mrs. Grenard and Miss Hanson: “We are proud of every one of you! It isn’t often that a high school cast gives a play with such a wonderful message.” The Senior Year Book.—1932 14 (We hope the public appreciated “The Enemy” as much as our faculty did.) SCENE V (Assembly Hall—Special Meeting of Seniors, April, 1932) Mr. Mason (addressing us)—“After long and thorough computing of averages, we are able to announce our highest scholastic honors for the past four years. Your valedictorian is Dorothy Crandall and your salutatorian, Theresa Mata-rese; both of these girls have worked faithfully and won their rewards honestly. “Those elected to the R. I. S. H. Society for this year are as follows: Laura Walker, Althelina Capalbo, Mary Savy, Marion Brujidage, Theresa Matarese, Dorothy McKay, Dorothy Crandall, Grace Sunderland, Julius La Pietra, Anna Sisson, Ruth Kennedy, Rhoda Pengelley, Ralph Bliven, John Murano, Dorothy Rodger, Louis Trebisacci, and Virginia Roffo. “May I congratulate you, young people, upon your excellent work?” Exeunt EPILOGUE Thus the circle of the years is completed and we find ourselves again where we began—considering the matter of scholarship; and what could be more fitting in Westerly High School, the highest educational institution of the town of Westerly? In the early days of our training, we began to realize something of the value of mental growth. Now we realize it even more truly. As Freshmen, we opened the doors to knowledge, and though, in the literal sense, those well-worn doors, have closed behind us, the doors of our minds have been pushed ajar and we know that they will never close as long as these cherished memories remain. Finis. Virginia Murray. r v mmm Nwk v Class JjJrspI ni WWWWl 7 A Centuries ago in a high tower of every castle across the sea, there lived the astrologer of the region. He was known as the prophet, wizard, or seer of the duchy. Dressed in his long black robe and skullcap, surrounded by strange instruments which no one save himself could understand, he would foretell the destinies of men, armies, and even of the kingdoms themselves, through his almost uncanny knowledge of the stars. We astrologers have wisely counseled some of the most prominent men of the country concerning certain of their gravest, most momentous undertakings and speculations. Why, it was only last summer that Henry Ford came to consult me as to whether the stars were favorable to his placing the new V-8 model on the market. I found that the heavenly influences were most favorable to the venture, and thus he acted upon my advice. As an astrologer, I, of course, realize the grave responsibility such a gift places on my shoulders, and feel that it is only fair that I use it, not only for my own profit, but for the help and advantage of my beloved classmates. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to read your destinies, and I shall give you the results absolutely free of charge. Bear with me patiently, then, while I reveal to you the secrets of your lives as I have seen them in the stars. The first scene which comes to my vision is that of the shining capitol at Washington, D. C., but the beauty of the scene is somewhat marred by loud shouting which seems to be coming from the Senate chamber. My, this seems like old times! Donald McKellar and Robert Lepper are arguing. One is a Republican, the other a Democrat, and between their old love of argument, and the illimitable powers of debate in the Senate, they have already kept the session three weeks beyond the usual length. The Senior Year Hook—1932 17 This next place seems to be Hollywood, and I see Charles Lamb in the Paramount studio, about to start work on his new picture, “The Loving Janitor,” in which his leading lady is to be Frances Cook. It is said that these two threaten to eclipse the great Clark Gable and Greta Garbo. Someone who—yes! It is Nicholas Bottone standing at the door of a house waiting for his next victim to whom to sell some of his “Never-Fail” flea powder. A great celebration is in progress all over the country in recognition of Charles Trumpetto and Arthur Lepper, who have just placed the first really successful grapefruit spoon, for protection of the eyes, on the market. A billboard next reveals to me that Battling Donald Faulk and Andrew Menick, the Brute, are appearing at Madison Square Garden in a series of prize fights which have been extremely thrilling. Husbands no longer mind their wives’ buying all their food at the delicatessen store, for Harry and Mary Peck-ham’s Products, sold from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are so delicious that they think they are eating home cooking. I find myself in Newr York, at the main entrance of the new Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Because of his height, one of the doormen catches my eye, and upon closer scrutiny, I realize that he is none other than Jack Wallace, all dressed up in a uniform with brass buttons. Bless me! Who is this I see but Alma Bailey, holding her hands over her ears; and no wonder, for she is surrounded by seven of her fourteen children, who are all singing at the top of their lungs. Illuminated letters, two feet high, on Broadway, proclaim the success of Lyle Burdick as a concert violinist. He seems to be a second Fritz Kreisler, and has made appearances all over the world, under the management of Frank Ward. My, my, if it isn’t Elsie Brindle, searching for something! Oh, yes, she is looking for a specimen; of the rare cabalbabooniwunga plant, but she is not alone in her vocation as a botany fanatic, for Grace Payne and Edith Booth are both busy with their magnifying glasses. I am now gazing out over the broad Atlantic, and in the captain’s cabin of a great ocean liner, I see Ralph Bliven. Below him, in the dining salon, are Joe Brown and Leo Nar-done with their ship’s orchestra. Still farther below, in the gymnasium, I find Sam Azzinaro riding a mechanical horse, in a vain effort to keep his weight dowm. Regulating the 18 The Senior Year Book—1932 eccentric movements of the strange beast is John Murano, the gym instructor. Proceeding to the beauty parlor in the liner, I perceive Arthur Sisson, who specializes in permanent waving. We always suspected he knew a great deal about that art. This liner might well be called the “Westerly,” it boasts so many employees from our old town, for coming down the deck with the deck-scrubbing gang. I see Clyde Kenyon, in addition to the other classmates already mentioned. Many of my old fellow-students seem to have departed for the city—I have just noticed two people industriously cleaning windows on the 250th story of a new skyscraper in New York, and who do they prove to be but Carol Chester and Barbara Celestino! A man with a sad face is walking away from an insurance agent, who seems to be John Shibilio. The reason for Fred Stanley’s discomfiture is the insurance policy which Johnny has just talked him into taking out on his dry goods store. A race track appears, and dashing around the bend at a terrific speed come running Ruth Kennedy and Virginia Roffo. Cheering is heard from all sides as Ruth wins by ten yards, making her women’s sprinting champion in the Olympics. An unearthly howling comes to my ears, and I discover that Leo Dotolo is exercising his lungs in preparation for defending his title as Champion Hog-Caller of Smithers-ville County. We all remember the mighty powers of Leo’s voice. How very strange! Here I see, at the Roosevelt Airport, a large crowd who are craning their necks for all they are worth, in order to follow the thrilling twists and turns of an airplane piloted by Dorothy Crandall. She, with the aid of her surprisingly efficient co-pilot, Verna Dawley, has become the most daring stunt flyer in America. Ever in demand at the leading men’s clubs in the country is Joe Rose’s famous book, entitled “Why I Am Always Popular With the Ladies.” We well remember his publisher, Natale Felicetti. Again I hear a voice, this time that of an angry girl, saying, “Hey, whaddayou think you’re doing?” It appears that a taxi has just passed a big Mack truck, operated by Beatrice Chiaradio, and Beatrice is extremely annoyed with the taxi driver, who proves to be none other than Ida Pan-ciera. The Senior Year Book—1932 19 A sumptuous villa in France appears before me, and, strolling leisurely in the surrounding gardens, are Margaret Keenan and her husband, Count Giabbagoff. Fanny Burdick, Tillie Levcowich, and Margaret Brindle are found searching frantically for the lost leading lady of their Redding-Machio flea circus, for which they are world famous. A brightly painted sign tells me what has become of two of our number. “Madame Virginia Murray’s Beauty Parlor—We Specialize in Reducing—Madamoiselle Rhoda Hicks, Applier of Cosmetics.” We remember how adept Rhoda once was in the art of rouge application. It is perfectly evident that Anna Sisson has succeeded her mother in the real estate business, and she seems to be doing remarkably well with it. With the aid of her two assistants, Fanny Brucker and Marion Brundage, she has just sold, for an exorbitant price, an acre of land at Charlestown which, at high tide, is ten feet under water. Anna always was a good saleswoman. A brightly polished ice wagon slowly makes its way to the foreground. Victor Gervasini and Edward Saddow have taken over tKe Gervasini Ice Company, and are making a great success of it, in spite of all the electric refrigerators. Laura Walker, playing the solo cornet, ig accompanied by a more tuneful than ever Westerly Band, among whose members are Eleanor Williamson, Mary Clarke, vigorously tooting a flute, and Dick Coduri, enthusiastically beating the drums. It does not surprise me to find that Walter Browning has been officially proclaimed the laziest man and the slowest talker in the world. Edwin Knerr has established a prospering Home for Old and Crippled Cats, wThere neither he nor his assistants, Gustav Siller and Thomas Webster, can stir a step in any direction without cries of affection from the adoring inmates. Robert Mudge has departed for Switzerland, where he lives in blissful solitude on the highest and most isolated mountain peak, away from the eyes of hero-worshipping ladies. His peace is sometimes a little disturbed by the clear yodeling of Grace and Emma Sunderland, wdio have become two of the most efficient guides among the Alps. Bless my telescope! What is this? Two of my former classmates have taken advantage of Boom Bridge Naval Academy’s having at last opened its doors to women. Both Rhoda Pengelley and Dorothy McKay hold the rank of second lieutenant, the highest rank granted there. 20 The Senior Year Book—1932 Standing on a pile of soap boxes, which are balanced by Edna Crandall, and surrounded by an admiring audience, stands Mae Fowkes, lecturing about the advisability of sending fur coats to the starving natives in South America. Another of our number has entered the literary field. Betty Thompson’s book, “The Correct Thing to Do Under Any Circumstances,” has been made famous through her efforts and those of her editor, Mary Low. I am greatly surprised to see that Mary Lynch, Mary Clancy, and Athelina Capalbo have become professional mourners. How some of these people we know have changed! Running the largest merry-go-round at Coney Island I find Naomi Gardiner, and selling lolly-pops I see Marion Kirby. That is hardly a surprise, however, for I remember how well she once liked them. The scene again changes, and this time I am in Africa, where Joe Markoff and Jack Mudge are ardent big game hunters. Their luck has been very good lately, their last catch being a rat eight inches long and an African hummingbird. Well, here is a third in our class to become a writer. Maurice Itchkawich is a celebrated poet, and his poetry readings are so much in demand in ladies’ social circles that it has been necessary for him to hire Jimmie Iacoi as his secretary and'manager. It seems that gigolos are as important to society as ever, and Julius LaPietra and Louis Trebisacci have filled two of the positions in that field. Remembering Higinio Vega’s constant criticism of the dresses we girls used to wear back in 1932, I am pleased to see that he has become as influential a costume designer in Paris as Lucien Lelong. Among his many very attractive manikins are Nellie Kizeik, Mildred Kirby, and Barbara Sherman. The most modern nd most completely equipped dairy in the State of Rhode Island is run by Mary Savy and her valuable partner, Teresa Maini. John Trebisacci has, after many years of hard work, obtained the degree Master of Science, and is now earnestly searching for the still Missing Link. Two others who have taken to the field of science are Theresa Matarese and Loraine Toolin. They have earned a great deal of note and admiration through their Matarese-Toolin Theory, said to be more complicated than that of Einstein, which was so famous in 1932, and to have quite overshadowed it. The Senior Year Book.—1932 21 It gives me a great deal of pleasure to see that Lola Mon-talto and her husband have taken over the management of a new Zoo in Roger Williams Park in Providence. They seem to be enjoying the work very much and have purchased many new varieties of animals, increasing the number by about twenty rare species of jungle folk. Another who has taken to mountain heights is Emma Turano, watchman in the forestry tower on the summit of beautiful Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. Since she has been there watching so conscientiously, there have been no serious fires. It is not difficult for me to sympathize with the elation whi h you all must be experiencing as a result of the won-dertiil preceding revelations. Therefore, it is with regret that I must prick these bubbles of Self-Satisfaction. It is only just to warn you that Peaks of Fame, such as these, can never be reached without most strenuous endeavor on your part. Even the Stars of Fate cannot help those who will not help themselves. Is it not, however, encouraging to realize how infinitely favored you are, and how much easier for you to ascend will be the Pathway of Attainment, than for those less fortunate mortals who struggle upward blindly, unable to even see their GoaH Strive onward then, nobly and bravely, dear classmates, and never despair, that you may at last reach the summit whfcre these Glorious Awards await you, beneath the smiling stars! —Dorothy Lillian Rodger OUR FACULTY Bu Row (left to right) Miss Irene Warner, Art; Miss Jennie Gada, French and Italian; Mr. Alexander Paterson, Commercial Subjects; Miss Gertrude Kingsley, English.

Class mm m wt, Mr z We, the class of thirty-two, having duly completed our four years of study at this institution of learning, deem it necessary and proper to draw up our final will and testament. We, the graduating class of 1932, being in good health of body and of sound and disposing mind and memory, and being desirous to settle our high school affairs, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. Article 1. To the Faculty—we leave the everlasting remembrance of the many hours of discontent and unhappiness which they have endured the better to prepare us for the future. Art. 2. To Mr. Mason—our respected and highly esteemed principal, we leave a complete set of suggestions regarding the accumulation of funds for the Commencement Senior and hope it may prove beneficial to the coming Senior classes.

Art. 7.

I, Mary Clancy, the sweeping air of queenly dignity which I possess to Betty Cheever of the coming Senior class.

I, Samuel Azzinaro, my girlish figure to Jack Scanlon, who is equally graceful. I. Carol Chester, my romantic lyrics and fantastic air to Addison Archie, whose meek manner conceals a true poetic nature. I, Charles Lamb, my natural talent and nonchalant manner in delivering extemporaneous speeches in assembly to Patsy Sposato, who will be greatly in need of such during the football season. I, Fannie Burdick, my fine set of durable jaws to Eleanor Fusaro, who likewise keeps perfect time with the typewriters. I, Joseph Markoff, full possession and ownership of White Rock and vicinity, including all public buildings, junk yards, and stables, to Peter Olcowich, my present minister of foreign affairs. 1 TRACK The Senior Year Book—1932 27 I, Natale Felicetti, my private chair in Mr. Mason’s office to Roger Harrington, who has helped me to pass many weary hours during the past season.

We, Robert Lepper and Donald McKellar, our argumentative philosophy to anyone capable of understanding such a deep study of life. 1, Arthur Sisson, my nickname “Steamboat” to Ger-vasini, who undoubtedly deserves it. We, James Iacoi, Louis Trebesacci, and John Trsbesacci, our position as assistants to Mr. Paterson, to Sherman and Paladino of the Junior class.

I, Julius LaPietra, my ease in understanding Italian and making Miss Gada’s life worth living to Joseph Ruisi, my runner-up. I, Mary Low, my memory for choice bits of information to Bessie Taylor of the Junior Class. I, Jack Mudge, my final spurt in Senior year to become as famous as my brother to Louis Cappuccio, who, in becoming marble champ of Westerly, has proved himself a worthy successor to Frank. We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two, designate that the remainder of our feats of accomplishment be summed up on a large gold tablet and hung in the office for the classes of the future to look upon and gaze at in awe. We also leave six framed class pictures to be hung The Senior Year Hook—1932 29 at each end of the hallways as reminders of the class that never was before and never will be again.

My Dear Young People, After forty years’ absence from my beloved Alma Mater, the cradle of all my fame and success, it is indeed an honor as well as a privilege to have the opportunity of returning to Westerly High School to confer these degrees upon you. Upon your most worthy president, John Shibilio, to whom the football squad is greatly indebted for the medical care he generously contributed, I confer the degree of D. 0. C., Doctors Our Cares. As Nellie Kizeik was elected the best dressed of the young ladies, I give her the degree R. Q. S., Reigning Queen of Style. On Itchkawich, the best drilled man of Battery E and the class “dough boy,” I confer the degree T. S. L., The Smiling Lieutenant. One member of the class seems to be able to figure out any problem, no matter how difficult it may be. Therefore upon Theresa Matarese, elected the most intelligent of your group, I confer the degree M. E., Masters Everything. To Leo Dotolo, because of his ability in drawing up petitions and because of the manner in which he handles the foreign entanglements of your class, I give the degree D. D. R., Doctor of Diplomatic Relations. The class chose Carol Chester the most romantic girl. To her, consequently, I give the degree L. Y. D., Love’s Young Dream. On Bob Lepper, Done McKellar, and Ed Sad ow, who with their arguments find cause for rebellion against all existing forms of society, I confer the degree R. E. D. S., Renounce Every Darn Subject. Loraine Toolin, Rhoda Hicks, and Margaret Payne are three members of the fairer sex who believe in being seen and not heard. Thus on them I bestow the degree M. D. Q., Modest, Demure, and Quiet. Donald Faulk has very often been mistaken for Clark The Senior Year Book—iq.?2 33 Gable and certainly uses this resemblance to great advantage. On Don I bestow the degree L. A. F. S., Looks After the Fairer Sex. On Verna Dawley, one of your pretty damsels from the country, specifically Hope Valley, I confer the degree S. C. L., Sweet Country Lass. Jake Knerr, Fred Stanley, and Walt Browning must be lauded for the way they handle the affection showered upon them by the feminine sex. On them I bestow the degree W. C. T. U., Women Can’t Touch Us. Because Eugenia Fowkes does not hesitate to say what she thinks, I give her the degree T. N. T., Thinking Necessitates Talking. It has been rumored that Nat Felecetti has been trying to attract the interest of a certain maiden. Though not entirely successful, he is very persistent. On Nat I therefore confer the degree N. A. T., Nat’s Always Trying. Can you imagine what classes would have been like without the ever smiling Athelina Capalbo? Therefore, I think I am justified in giving her the degree C. C. C., Cheerful, Charming, Chic. Since Julius LaPietra is always handing out free advice and suggesting to the teachers how things should be done, I give the degree F. A., Faculty Advisor. On the cute little red-headed miss from Weekapaug, Rhoda Pengelley, I bestow the degree R. E. D., Rarely Ever Downhearted. For the past four years Art Lepper has been a good student and a clever athlete. He well deserves the degree A. L., Athlete and Learner. To Barbara Sherman has been awarded the degree L. I. Z., Lovable, Interesting, Zealous. On Tommy Webster, who is the first boy in Westerly High School to have built a model steam engine that would run, I confer the degree T. W., The Wizard. On Eleanor Williamson and Ida Panciera, who journey from distant Quarry Hill to attend the palace of learning, I bestow the degree Q. Q. H., Queens of Quarry Hill. Clyde Kenyon being quite the fashionable gentleman of your class, I bestow on him the degree S. H. I. E. K., Surely Has an Indelible Effect on Klothes. Ann Sisson and Virginia Roffo have taken practically all the honors in the Commercial Course and certainly merit the degree S. S., Some Stenogs. On Joe Brown and Leo Nardone, the jazz-mad gentlemen who for four years have been supplying the school with peppy rhythm. I bestow the degree W. H. S., Westerly High’s Syn-copators. The Senior Year Book—1932 35 Dot Crandall, your valedictorian, is the most studious member of the group and therefore merits the degree D. O. T., Diligent, Orderly, Trustworthy. Since Harry Peckham has been a star runner on the track and cross country teams, it is very seldom that he has failed to place; so on him I bestow the degree R. 0. R., Runs Opposition Ragged. Frances Cook is one of the lively personalities of the class who is always ready to sing and laugh. On her I confer the degree C. M. L., Cooky Majors in Laughter. Three of our most attractive girls are always seen talking ; about what we don‘t know, but it looks interesting. Thus on Mildred Kirby, Tillie Levcowich and Ruth Kennedy I confer the degree G. A. R., Garrulous And Beautiful. To Andrew Menick, who acted so well the part of the professor in the Senior play, I give the degree K. D. K. A., Keen, Daringly Klever Actor. Although Alma Bailey has been with the class only one year, she is certainly considered an asset. To her I award the degree R. A. Y., Rare, Amiable, Youthful. Bob Mudge, the greatest athlete ever turned out by this school, has won for himself a position that is almost unobtainable by any one else. On him I confer the degree I. C. B. H., In a Class By Himself. To Barbara Celestino and Beatrice Chiaradio, who have all the usual traits of girls except that they are very silent when asked their views concerning the opposite sex, I give the degree B. C., Bashfully Coy. Hinio Vega’s graceful motions on a dance floor are enough to arouse the envy of any boy. It is indeed a treat to see him deport himself. On Hinio I confer the degree F. S., Fast Stepper. . Since Elsie Brindle and Naomi Gardiner have practically lived at the Junior High gym, I give them the degree G. A. S., Genuine Athletic Stars. As Betty Thompson received four honorary titles from the class, there is little left to give her except the degree B 0. B., Bewitches Our Boys. Frank Ward has so little trouble in attracting the attention of the ladies that we have branded him as the lady killer. On Frank I bestow the degree F. W., Fast Worker. Emma Turano and Theresa Maini are two more inmates of your institution, who will make charming secretaries for big business men. On them I confer the degree T. T. T., Two Tactful Typists. On Joe Rose, who has been making many mysterious trips to Columbia Heights, I confer the degree D. 0. T., Does Odd Things. CROSS COUNTRY The Senior Year Book—1942 37 Emma and Grace Sunderland are sisters who have been pals during all their high school days. Therefore, I dub them S. 0. S., Sisters Of the Skillet. John Trebisacci, Louis Trebisacci, and James Iacoi! Perhaps you have been wondering why the Senior Play drew full houses both nights and why all previous records were broken. The excellent work of these boys explains its unparalleled success. Thus on them I confer the degree B. T. B. M., Big Time Business Men. Although Mary Lynch and Mary Clancy have interests outside of school, they are loyal members of 1932’s group and certainly deserve the degree A. R. T., Always Ring True. Perhaps Lyle Burdick’s artistic temperament accounts for his many romantic experiences. At any rate, since we all know that he is a skilled musician, I bestow on him the degree M. A. W., Music Attracts Women. Fannie Burdick was given the honorary title of cutest girl in the class. Thus, to this little miss I give the degree K. K., Kute Kid. Joe Markoff’s charming interpretation of the hero’s role in “The Enemy,” together with his winning personality, has earned for him the degree D. W. R., Duke of White Rock. Marion Brundage and Fannie Brucker may be small but we know they’re right there. Consequently, on them I confer the degree T. 0. T. S., Tots On The Spot. Jack Mudge, by no means to be outdone by his famous brother, is equally prominent in scholarship and athletics. These talents do not, however, always keep him out of trouble; thus I bestow on him the degree J. A. M., Just Another Mudge. On Marion Kirby and Edith Booth, who always find some joke in life to laugh at, I confer the degree G. G., Giggling Girlies. Art Sisson, because of his cleverness in handling delicate situations, has won for himself many friends. Since this notable diplomacy gained for him the place of skipper on a private yacht, I give him the degree 0. T. S., Our Tactful Skipper. Gus Siller, with his witty remarks and his foolish pranks, is quite an inspiration to a certain young lady. Thus I give him the degree P. E. G., Personality Enlightens Girls. To Sam Azzinaro, Johnny Murano, and Dick Coduri, because of Sam’s power on the football field, Johnny’s reign on the baseball diamond, and Dick’s influence in school affairs, I give the degree T. F. T., The First Triumvirate. Although Nick Bottone was chosen the class pest, he is FOOTBALL The Senior Y'ear Book—1932 39 hardly ever in trouble, so upon him I confer the degree N. I. C. K., Neat In Cutting Kapers. To Charlie Lamb and Jack Wallace the credit must be given for the organization of the “Tweed Ring” in the Westerly High School. Therefore, on these gentlemen I bestow T. P. B., Two Political Bosses. Because Laura Walker always reminds us of a little bird or fairy—something little, winsome, and charming, we give her the degree E. L. F., Exceptional Little Fairy. Due to Margaret Keenan’s dramatic power in “The Enemy,” the class elected her as the best actress. Because of her grace on the dance floor she was elected best dancer among the girls. Therefore, upon her I confer the degree G. U. S., Graceful, Unusual, Sweet. Although Margaret Brindle is another who has been with the class only one year, she has earned the degree T. L., Talented Lady. Because Mary Savy is always ready with a reply to any question,’ 1 bestow upon her the degree A. P., Always Prepared. _ Eleanor Clarke is another member of your class who possesses a bashful and quiet demeanor. Therefore, to her I give the degree F. T., Forever Taciturn. Because Mary Peckham is an individual who doesn’t believe in going about with a glum face, I give her the degree A. H. G., Always Has a Grin. You may say all you wish about damsels from the faraway outskirts of civilization, but your most modern girl hails from Wyoming, Rhode Island. On Dot McKay I bestow the degree M. E. N., Magnetic, Everready, Nimble. You would hardly know whether or not you had Edna Crandall in your midst. She was rightfully elected the quietest girl in the class. So on her I confer the degree S. H. Y., Seldom Heard Yelling. Vic Gervasini, who w'as chosen the “Best Behaved Boy,” seems to carry with him an air of assurance and determination. Therefore he earns the degree of V. I. C., Vic Inspires Confidence. On Ralph Bliven, who is a walking joke book, possessing humor, entertaining and appropriate for every occasion, I bestow the degree T. J., Timely Joker. Because Dorothy Rodger reigns supreme over more than one type of “Art,” her talents evidently call for the degree M. A., Master of Arts. For the reason that Virginia Murray is the best na-tured girl in the class and is forever wearing a smile, I give her the degree P. H. D., Philosopher of Happy Doings. 4° The Senior Year Book—1932 If Beatrice Montalto did not happen to be in school, it would be easy to find her. Thus to her I give the degree, R. V. N., Regularly Visits Norwich. On our industrious Scottish lass, Mary Low, who has worked very hard for her class, I bestow the degree S. C. O. T. Y., Sweet, Capable, Optimistic, Typical and Youthful. Since you all know that a degree is not a confirmation to be taken lightly, I hope you will enthusiastically accept these which have just been bestowed upon you, and endeavor to make as much use of them as the quantity of work that was put into them may warrant. Again I wish to thank your principal for his generosity in asking me to come to Westerly. I sincerely wish you the best luck in the world. —Charlie Trumpetto. Assistant, Mary Low. CLASS POEM Four years we have been together, And now’ to the future We must look. Somewhere in that mist We must fill A place. We are glad and yet We know not Whether sorrow or mirth There awaits us. But let us bid A fond and gay Farewell To this, the school Where we have tried To learn to live. —Carol Chester The Senior Year Book—1932 41 CLASS SONG Tune: For Honor of Old Purdue Seniors all, give ear to the call! Time for parting’s here. Four years we have slaved But we know we’re well paid By dear old Westerly. Each feels proud To be one of her sons In the class of ’32; So Seniors here Give a rousing cheer For dear old ’32! So cheer all, cheer for ’32! The class—long may it live. We’ll never forget, and we’ll always regret That we’re not with you again. Then drink a toast to ’32; Her name will never die.

As presi lent, he has steered our class off many a rockbound coast. Here’s to John; he deserves success. Industry is the soul of business and the key of prosperity.” Samuel Janie ; Azzinaro Sam is one of W. H. S.'s reliable standbys when it conies to football and baseball. He is good-natured, sociable, dependable, and a sport through and through. “Ride on over all obstacles and u in the race.” Alma Lowe Hailey We feel ourselves very fortunate to have enjoyed Alma’s musical talents even for one year. With her ability and charm, “Al” will make a name for herself. All good wishes for her success! “IVhat passion cannot music raise and quell!” Ralph Garfield Bliven, Jr. We know that if “Bud” ever used all his potentialities, his great brain could move mountains. His noble nature has won him many friends. ‘ Then give to the world the best you have, .hid the best zcill come back to you.” Edith Mary Booth “Boots” is not with us very often. Her affairs outside of school seem to keep her busy! “Speech is great, but silence is greater.” Nicholas Anthony Bottone Nick, with his happy-go-lucky demeanor, is the most carefree boy in school. Because of that ever ready smile and that willingness to help, he has endeared himself to his classmates. lie was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.” Elsie Jane Brindle Our athlete, Pussy, can hit a ball with a bat or a tennis racket; she can run fifty yard dashes, climb ropes, and throw a basket— what more could one ask? roguish smile shone in her eyes Ami on her Ups found place.” Margaret Anne Brindle Margaret is one of our friendliest girls—al ways gentle and kind, ready to help and very thoughtful—we only wish she had been with us longer. “There is nothing so kingly as kindness” Walter Andrew Browning Walt” comes from the busy metropolis of Hope Valley, where life requires action rather than words. Hence his solemn taciturnity. Surely he will never lose his friends through talking too much. He knows not when to be silent If ho knows not when to speak.” Joseph Brown What harmony is this? Just follow the crowd to the hall and witness the performance of the jazziest” band in town. It’s Joe’s! And how he drums! “My wants are few, my heart is true, sing a popular ditty.” L Fannie May Brucker If we should ever see Fannie flustered or upset, we should doubt our sanity. She is always calm, placid, and restful. But don’t be misled—she is always full of fun. ‘'There was a soft and elusive grace A cast of thought upon her face. Marion Caroline Brundage A sound of clicking heels, and here is “Mickey” ready to tell us of the perfect” tinie she had last night. We are sure she will win success with her good nature, winning personality, and efficiency. “Men(y as the day is long. Fannie Louise Burdick Merriment is always where “Pewee” is. She really likes to laugh and it's no effort at all to get her started. Fannie is the bright spot of our class. “ ’Cause Vs wicked—I is, Vs mighty wicked.” Lyle Horace Burdick Much of Lyle’s time is taken up by his pursuance of music and his romantic episodes! Oh, Lyle! “There’s music in a'l things. If men had ears. Athelina Capalbo Athy’s an excellent student, but she is no class grind. If you are looking for a combination of wit, sportsmanship, beauty, and charm, then Athy fits requirements to the letter. “The girl is no common girl, and, mark me, Her fortune will be no common fortune Barbara Mary Celestino “Fifi may seem quiet and demure, but when she is with her gang, she can make as much noise as the best of them, and that is no small accomplishment. “Iler ways are ways of pleasantness And all her paths are peace.” Carol Harvey Chester Carol! How could she have bee? better named? Like Robert Burns, she is similar t an aeolian harp, in whose soul the vulgar wind, as it passes through, changes to articu late melody. We shall hear more of her poetry. “A poet is made as well as born.” Beatrice Frances Chiaradio Sweet and modest are the two adjectives which describe Boa best. But she’s also as merry as the day is long. tender heart; a will inflexible.” Mary Hughes Clancy This Mary is never contrary or cross, an.! her garden is full of smiles. She is also the recipient of all our troubles. For a kind word and a pretty smile, go to “Spuds.” “Her loveliness never knew Until she smiled at me.” Eleanor Mary Clarke Why Ell is so quiet no one can understand Our adjectives f r her are shy, modest, and sweet. “So sn 'et the blush of bashiulness E'en pity scarce can wish it less.” Richard John Coduri Wit and mischief seasoned with a heavy layej of personality and intelligence give you- -Dick. Richard, our championship football team man ager, has been an essential element in the class of ’32. ‘'Friendship is no cultural art; It just springs natural from the heart. Frances Althea Cook Tilt the glass to one of our most charming girls! Frannie’s distinctive personality has captured our hearts. She has participated in many extra-curricular activities and displayed her capability in ways too numerous to mention. Ah, favored one of the‘ gods, Twice blessed with charm and beauty.” Dorothy Louise Crandall Much of the success of the “Senior is due to the untiring efforts of its efficient editor. Dorothy’s integrity and scholastic standing will win for her a prominent place in life. The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill” Edna Lillian Crandall Although Edna's hair is red, she lacks the fiery disposition which usually accompanies it. On the contrary, her nature is unusually sweet and lovable. She is our quietest and most reserved girl. Her voice was ever soft, zentle, and low. One excellent thing in woman.” Ruby Vincent Crandall IN MEMORIAM Your sweetness, your friendly way, and cheerful spirit are in our hearts on this graduation day. “Life is ever lord of Death And Love can never lose its own.” Verna Mae Dawley When “Vern” and Fannie (jet together they usually bear watching. The whispering and giegling that go on bide some huge plot or joke. “A pretty lass with loving ways.” Leo Charles Dotolo “Dynamite” is one of our best all round athletes. The noisiest boy in the class! If you don’t believe it, just listen to his blustering oratory in room seven. “ • is a man of noble and generous nature, And though he is rough, he is kindly. Donald Palmer Faulk “Palmy Daze, who claims to be our most eminent scientist, baffles even Mr. Stevens with his astounding theories. There is no doubt that Faulky will some day be on a par with Einstein. ‘‘A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. Natale Eugene Felicetti “Nat is one of our nosiest and cleverest ys. He plans to practice dentistry and if diseased teeth yield to his treatment as math problems do, he may be sure of satisfied pa tients. 'Wane but himself can be his parallel.’’ Eugenia Mae Fowkes Did you hear someone talking? It was Mae, of course. She has remarkably original ideas and her outspoken naivete is refreshing. She is unquestionably different. “Your words bring daylight when you speak.” Naomi Gardiner Naomi is a girl who is quite contrary. She certainly keeps us guessing because she is always changing her mind—but we are never disappointed. tor if she will, she will, you may depend on't, And if she won’t, she wont, and there’s an end on’t. “Vic” was voted the “quietest boy,” but two days following the publication of returns, he laughed out loud in class. Fooling us, eh? A math wiz and a great fellow! No one could be busier than Rhoda. She’s c n“stan”tly on the jump and wherever there’s Heart to conceive, the unde James Anthony Iacoi Jimmy is our big business man.

Her talents are not confined to the stage, however, for she is also our best dancer. A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle, and waylay. Henry Clyde Kenyon His quiet, gentlemanly manner has gained him the favor of faculty and students alike. We have no doubt that it will also win him the respect of his pupils when he becomes a teacher. “Ile was a gentleman from sole to crown.” Kuth Wilson Kennedy Here is the girl who needs no rouge on her cheeks. We would like to know Ruth’s secret cosmetic. “Her ways are pleasantness and all her « polity are peace.” Marion Elizabeth Kirby Marion’s ready wit has interrupted the mo notony of many a dreary class. Although she is seemingly very quiet, her classmates find her a valuable asset and truly appreciate her sense of humor. “An ounce of mirth is worth a f, pound of sorrow. Mildred Justine Kirby Mildred carries the titles of dignity and sophistication with queenly stateliness. Although she is rather hard to approach, we all admire her charming personality. ‘Loveliness is a pleasant thing—” Vi ■ Nellie Kizeik A pleasant manner and an unselfish attitude are the traits that best characterize Nell. Her willingness to cooperate with others has won far her a host of friends. “Jake,” the man from Wyoming, is of a most intelligent nature. How ofter his enthusiasm for poetry and classics reminds us of a 20th century Milton! “Still water runs deep. Charles Milton Lamb, Jr. Among the many notables turned out by W. H. S. '32, “Charley” has been conspicuously a leader and entertainer, through his ability as an athlete and his being such a general good fellow. Dost tliou the conscience lack, to think shall lack friends? Julius Caesar La IMetra Although Julio was a newspaper man in the Senior play, we think he would make a better politician, he so keenly enjoys arguing. W. H. S. will be proud of him when he enters Congress. Full of wise saws and modern In his Senior year, Art developed into one of the mainstays of our track team. He is exceedingly clever in the field events and has garnered several points for his Alma Mater. Let me be what am an seek not to alter me.” Edwin Jacob Knerr And so he plays his part. Arthur Lepper So faithful in love, So dauntless in war. 'V Robert Lepper, Jr. We'll all mis Rob’s” cheerful smile and happy go lucky ways. But his great athletic .ability and fine portrayal of “Bruce” in the Senior (Jay will keep memories of him ever fresh in our minds. '‘He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon liis like again. Tillie Tatiana Levcowich Tillie is one of those lucky women who have framed that it pays to be a good listener. She is clever and exceedingly industrious. Strewing the path with smiles, in the absence of flowers Mary Jenkins Low If it were not for Scotty’s persuasive man ■ v tier, our class would still be on the depression list. And to add to her triumph, she inveigled us into parting with our cherished savings through love rather than duty. ‘‘'I iugh and the world laughs with you, Heep and you warp alone.” Mary Catherine Elizabeth Lynch Mary, typical Irish brunette, is a moSf af tractive and popular classmate. She is always full of fun and brimming over with liveliness. Here’s to your success and happiness, Mary! “Pretty to walk with and witty to o talk with.” L. Teresa Mary Maini We can hardly call Tre” boisterous but wherever there is merrymaking—there you w'll find her. “One well known by her jolly air. Her laughing eyes, and jet black hair. Joseph Markoff Even though “Joe has long eyelashes, he is-not a dreamer. We all would like a few of his brains so that we, too, could get A’s in Algebra. “His dusky luiir, his tender blue eyes seemed Like something to be dreamed.’ Theresa Matarese Theresa doesn't need a writeup; her name is made and recorded. Her report card speaks in the “A” language and her achievements spell honor for herself and W. H. S. ‘None know her but to love her; None name her but to praise.” Dorothy Marguerite McKay Clothes and good times are the subjects of much of Dot’s chatter. She can be serious upon occasion, however, as is proved by her being the most original member of the class and one of our literary lights. •This creature knows more, much than she unfolds.” more, t Donald Ferguson McKellar Voting “Dunk” the most argumentative member of our class was no error. Wherever there is a discussion, he will surely be found in the thick of it. “ ’ hereof here’s a word, there’s a way.’ i Hereo f Here s a Andrew Meniek “Prof,” an orator eloquent through his quiet power, is also a good actor.
