To the citizens of Westerly we desire to express our gratitude for their interest in our undertakings, both social and scholastic, and for their support of our class throughout its rather stormy trip through High School life. Tomorrow is graduation day for the Class of 1933. Many of us will go forth into the world of business; others will seek a higher education; but whichever path is chosen, the wise teachings and advice of our faculty members will provide us with our first firm stepping-stone to success. Graduation is what we have striven for through the four years of our High School life, but now that our goal is reached, a sense of sorrow and regret has fallen upon us because we must leave these worn old halls and the many happy associations that bind us to them. Though we go forth into the turbulent stream of Life, the many joyful memories and the strong, enduring friendships we have formed will attend us and help to protect us from the disillusionments that must inevitably be ours. No pleasanter wish can be expressed than that our future years may be as happy as those we have spent in Westerly High. But enough of the gloomy side of graduation ! We shall forthwith put it from our minds and enter upon an evening of fun and revelry. The highlights of our illustrious class will be revealed to you by two world-renowned historians considered worthy of this singular honor. A noted seer and prophet has been secured at great expense to reveal what the future holds in store for each of us. After months of deliberation, a celebrated lawyer has drawn up our last will and testament and it is his solemn duty, this evening, to break the seal of the weighty and important document and proclaim it to all present. A benevolent philanthropist has announced that he will give tonight, to each member of the class, a rare and costly gift. Half of his enormous fortune has been expended upon these marvelous objects, the appropriateness of which we will let you judge. I will now yield my place to these various important personages, that they may tell you of the many original deeds of the Class of 1933. —ERNEST FULFORD. -4 8 4- The Senior Year Book— 1933 (ClasH ijiatory BECAUSE of the large number of pupils and the remarkable and varied achievements of the Westerly High School Class of 1933, the members found it necessary to choose two historians to compile the story of their past. For months Professor Taylor and I, engaging in the most exhaustive research, have been delving into the school archives and unearthing mysterious and awful secrets. Probably no such learned document as we have produced has ever before been brought to the attention of an audience. Thus I will now unfold to you a continuous, systematic record of school events for the years 1930-1931 and my eminently learned collaborator, Miss Bessie Taylor, B. U. M., will narrate the last two years’ events. To facilitate matters, the first secretary we elected had the misfortune to drop his watch and, since it stopped, he was unable to fulfill his duty of recording the minutes. A meeting was called to decide whether to give him a new watch to go by or to give him the “go by.” As there were but thirteen cents in the treasury, we voted it would be unlucky to buy a new watch. In spite of this unhappy incident and sundry similar drawbacks, we finally succeeded in overcoming all obstacles, and are proud to present the following scholarly account: When the organization now known as the Class of ’33 first descended on the venerable quiet of Westerly, few, if any, of its members had the slightest idea as to what would befall them. Our first sensations were of awe and dread. Everyone we met seemed to be a personage of great importance. The disdainful smiles that greeted us from every quarter kept us fully aware of the humiliating fact— our utter insignificance. But in spite of all this, our great desire was for knowledge, and the studious life we then led helped us to forget our youth and unimportance. How far this most laudable desire has been realized we do not dare to say, but assembly lectures and other sad experiences have taught some lessons we expect to retain. Early in the fall the Senior girls, acting as the hostesses of the high school, stooped from their lofty Mt. Olympus to mingle with the Freshmen at a party which they had planned for us. In order to proclaim to the world our lowliness and ignorance, they required us to don huge green hair ribbons, although we maintained they were not being worn in the more fashionable circles at that time. We were served, as refreshments, animal crackers and punch, since heavier food was deemed inadvisable for our childish digestions. The boys, not to be outdone, decided that being unable to attend the party, they would have to receive their exercise elsewhere, and immediately proceeded to the High Street Athletic Field where they threw themselves bodily into the strife. Imagine our amazement, the following day, to see such iron men as Patsy Sposato, Earl Larkin, and Joe Ruisi hobble into class with multiple bruises and lacerations. It was noticed that the number of football candidates decreased nightly during the following week. Heroically, however, we managed to conquer our peculiar difficulties, and at the conclusion of our first class meeting, we were like all other Freshmen—it would have taken a lengthy fishpole to reach us. We elected at our gathering the following officers: President__________________John Scanlon Vice President Arlene Keller Treasurer Beatrice Lowry Secretary - _____Joseph Ruisi These chosen few were like guiding stars throughout the trials and tribulations of our Freshman life. Although there were many drawbacks during the year, “all’s well that ends well” and leaving the high school in the custody of Mr. Maxwell and his black cat, we enjoyed a much needed vacation. One bright September day we returned - 9 - The Senior Year Book— 1933 as Sophomores, conscious that we had “crossed the awful chasm to borrow Milton’s phrase. Of course it devolved on ’33 to teach the Freshmen (the last to enter Westerly High School under that significant title) a few necessary things: respect for upper classmen, obedience to faculty, and appreciation of their new home. These simple instructions caused our fortunate pupils to look up to us with considerable awe. In fact, the respect for the upper classes was much more apparent then than now. We humbly suggest that a little improvement in this direction would not be out of order. Having been fully introduced, the preceding year, into the mysteries of a class meeting, we were allowed to hold the first one of the new season. At this time Harold Edmond was elected to lead the class. Other officers were Vice President, Marion Walton; Treasurer, Edgar Tobin. Jr.; Secretary, Bessie Taylor. Soon after this, members were chosen for Student Council. Our President represented the class and our Secretary was made Press Agent. In spite of the fact that the football, baseball, and track teams were composed mainly of the upper classmen, our own athletes, by their energy and work, succeeded in making a place for themselves on the second team. Although the Sophomore year is usually the quietest of the four in high school, one important event took place, the choosing of our class rings. Naturally the masculine portion of the class admired one ring while the feminine preferred another; therefore, like good Henry Clays, we compromised and selected a ring which, wonderful to relate, was entirely agreeable to both. We are proud to record that during our Sophomore year one of our members received first award in the Prize Speaking Contest, Miss Julia Tamer being selected as the girl whose delivery was the most commendable. Thus our second year ended in glory! We returned to school the next fall feeling more worldly-wise than when we left it, for were we not Juniors? In our own minds, we were far removed from the class which had left the school the preceding June as Sophomores. We had mag- nificent plans for the future. Being assured by Mr. Mason and the faculty that no group, however superior, could accomplish anything without leadership, we held a class meeting and chose as our officers: Frank Cappuccio, President; Lola Matarese, Vice President; Beatrice Nar-done, Treasurer; Beatrice Lowry, Secretary. In this way we assured ourselves that we would be able to complete our year’s work successfully. That year many new clubs were organized and, as befitted Juniors, we were allowed to send representatives to the Student Council. We were pleased to note, when group pictures for the Commencement Senior were taken, that among the members of the council appeared Jessie Smith, Samuel Deutsch, Harold Edmond, Frank Cappuccio, and Patsy Sposato. During the football season we were amazed to see the work done by our classmates. Coach Rogers was using Bill Thompson as an end on the first team and Joe Ruisi and Pat Sposato as substitutes. We regret that Bill’s injuries on the football field made it impossible for him to carry on his good work. At the end of the season, “Pat” was elected captain of the 1933 team. New material began to appear in other sports at this time, among the most prominent candidates being Ernie Fulford, Ted Booth, and Noonie Gin-gerella. The Senior Board, fearing that we would fail in our endeavor if they allowed us to publish a magazine the following year without any experience, voted to nominate a Junior staff. Miss Eleanor Sullivan was given the honor of being our editor-in-chief. As an aid to us in our work the members explained the duty of each department. How heavily the responsibility weighed upon our shoulders! Immediately we set about publishing our own issue and were deeply gratified, the last of April, to see the finished product before us in black and white. Everyone can imagine how dismayed we were when it was announced that if we did not raise the account to our credit in the bank, we would not be allowed to hold a Prom. From then on, hoarding was stopped. Money flowed in from all sides and one glorious day our treasurer told us that we had the necessary amount. - S{ io )§•— The Senior Year Book— 1933 Wishing our Prom to be a success, we immediately selected two committees, and how they worked! For a fortnight the most important questions, disregarding even such weighty matters as Chemistry, Latin, and French, were “Are you going to the Prom ?” and “What are you going to wear?” It is said that the morning after the dance, Miss Endicott was forced to turn her stenography class into a social gathering to discuss such intriguing subjects as new romances, the costumes of the fair damsels, and the Senior Adonises who had danced with them. A short time later, another honor was accorded us when Marcelle Hammond won second place in the Prize Speaking Contest. The following weeks, much to our surprise, we were treated with a trifle more respect by the Seniors. In explanation of this unheard of conduct on their part, we were reminded of the reception given each year by the Juniors to the Seniors. Of course you remember what a success this reception proved to be. Even more significant, that night we were lifted from the category to which children are assigned. In the fall of ’32, we approached our beloved institution of learning, assuming the title of “Grand Old Seniors.” How pleasing that name and honor—the realization of the fairest dreams of our Freshman days! We feel certain that everyone has noticed at one time or another, the extreme propriety which has characterized our deportment throughout the year. All has been quiet and correct; we have been models of Senior dignity and, for the better fulfillment of our duties, have kept in close touch with our faculty. It is indeed with a certain degree of justifiable pride that we think of our success in our many undertakings. Following the time-worn custom, we held the first class meeting of the year and elected the following officers: President, Ernest Fulford; Vice President, Bessie Taylor; Secretary, Eleanor Hoxie; Treasurer, Joseph Ruisi. Early in the fall we were allowed to hold our Prom. We were nothing if not original in our decorations, the hall being ______ J5 __________________■■J made to simulate a football field with goal posts, footballs, and banners gathered from all the colleges and schools of renown, including, of course, our own W. H. S. About Christmas time, the machinery for the Senior Play was put in motion, an event which caused great excitement and confusion. Without doubt, “Little Women” was the best play ever given by a Westerly High School Senior class. How could it be otherwise with such all star casts and such a splendid coach as Miss Stanton? We shall never forget Julia Tamer’s impressive acting and Arnold Austin’s ability to adopt the German language as his own. During the year a large group responded to the insistent call of athletics. Football came first, and in the end three of our members were awarded sweaters for participating in sports for four years. Pat Sposato, Joe Ruisi, and Wally Lamb were given the distinction of being the first to wear the new white sweaters with the blue W’s. In track we were represented by Dove and Booth; in baseball by Lamb, Larkin, Ruisi, and Johns. To the Student Council we sent Harold Edmond as President, Grace Bliven as Secretary, and Marcelle Hammond, Ernest Fulford, William Thompson, and Dorothy Berry as other representatives. Our class selected as its motto: Vin- cet qui se vincit—He conquers, who conquers himself. One day this spring we were very much excited by the news that the pictures of the class were to be taken immediately. This was a difficult task, for our group is very large, of an unquiet disposition, and extremely adverse to sitting still; yet we really succeeded in having our picture taken. Thus, with our graduation plans, we bring to a close our four years at Westerly High School. But before our departure may we leave these few words with the inferior classes? Juniors, when you come back next year, don’t be dignified. We have been so very proper (with the exception of class meetings and other trivialities) that people want a change. Sophomores, you have been pretty good, ii }S The Senior Year Book— 1933 considering; in fact, almost too good, but keep it up for variety’s sake. Now, as we come before the public for our farewells, it is indeed amusing to look back over the four years’ experiences. All the dances, trips to out-of-town games, slips to the office, and various other hilarious adventures will long be remembered when more important matters should absorb our attention. Even the greatest minds must have their lighter moments. Thus, if it so happens that we have left with you any impression of frivolity or pettiness, we have only to refer you for the more serious facts in which you may be interested to the high school office, where our marks are permanently recorded. By Eleanor Hoxsie and Bessie Taylor (Eliusa Mill AS Executor of the Class of 1933, the privilege and solemn duty of announcing officially their last will and testament falls on me. Since I can scarcely view the document without tears, I am obliged to put on my spectagoggles in order to proceed with this weighty and important business. We, the Class of 1933, being entirely sane, well balanced, and reliable, hereby formulate, promulgate, and asseverate this our last will and testament, declaring null and void all similar records formerly concocted by us. Being of a convivial, hypercritical, incredible, hypochondriac, hysterical, and inconsistent disposition, we do hereby distribute such various and sundry cherished possessions and keepsakes as shall be left after we leave this mundane abode. Item I: We, the Class of 1933, bestow the following warnings on the incoming Sophomores: 1. Never usurp the Seniors’ prerogative of wandering through the halls. 2. Beware of the Seniors’ nefarious hobby of collecting yellow slips for tardiness. The results of that practice are anything but pleasant. 3. If you value your life, avoid chewing gum in the presence of Miss Mclntire. 4. Do not use school desks for waste baskets or art galleries. They have other more important functions. Item II: On the girls of the Sophomore Class, the maidens of the Senior Class confer their cherished secret by means of which they have been able to make themselves so attractive as to earn the title “The Fair Charmers.” Item III: To our compatriots, the Juniors, we leave our sagacious warning not to follow the popular practice of attempting to do all things at one time, and accomplishing none. It doesn’t pay to be a jack of all trades and master of none. Item IV: To Miss Laura E. Mclntire and Miss Sibyl H. Leach, respectively, we donate a sufficient residue of our fortune to purchase a 1933 Baby Austin, wishing that our resources were ample enough to provide them with full grown cars. Item V: I, Frank Cappuccio, having been duly intrusted to compile and establish this our last will, do hereby denominate and bequeath the sequent personal belongings of the members of the Class of 1933 to the members of the Junior and Sophomore Classes. 1. We, Elizabeth Whalen and Albert Vitterito, leave our terpsichorean agility to Arline Kellar and Julius Wein. 2. We, Rose Pellegrino, Angeline Tro-vato and Beatrice Nardone, bequeath our melodious and extraordinary voices to the W. H. S. chorus. 3. We, Frank Celestino and Dominic 12 JjM- The Senior Year Book—1933 Chimento, bequeath our mathematical wizardry to Eliot Menick and Frank Galanti, who are plotting to ostracize it from their curriculum. 4. I, George Falcone, bequeath my longitude and latitude to Addison Archie in order that he may be more than a point in space. 5. I, Harold Edmond, leave my versatility to Kenneth Main. 6. I, Betty Cheever, bequeath my “Carol Lombardian” pulchritude and ethereal charm to my worthy successor, Agnes King. 7. We. Charles St. Onge and Sally Hammond, confer our congenial rendezvous on “Billy” Clark and Ruth Brown, who are often heard singing, “Can’t We Be Alone?” 8. I, Beverly Barber, bequeath my rickety Model T Ford to Adelaide Spicer, who is in dire need of a good car. 9. I, Florence Giannoni, leave my stenographic efficiency to Mabel Ingram. 10. I, Joseph Ruisi, confer my stellar athletic career on James Giorno of the Junior Class. 11. I, Muriel Harwick, leave my sophistication and nonchalance to Angeline Matarese of the Junior Class. 12. I, Ernest Fulford, confer a “share of my interest” on Spring Street on whomever I deem worthy. 13. I, Carmella Vocatura, leave my scholastic ability in commercial law to Eleanor Fusaro, who may need it. 14. I, Vincent Turco, leave my saxo-phonia to Albert Gervasini that he may differentiate between a saxophone and a clarinet. 15. We, Alice Rurdick and Dorothy Mearns, leave our wild recklessness and aggressive manner to Alice Laing and Mabel Girven. 16. I, Kathleen Potter, bequeath my characteristic of being always perfectly “Frank” to whoever may appreciate its value. 17. We, Marcelle Hammond and Reva Novogroski, leave our giggling garrulity to Vivian Morrill and Marguerite Crandall. 18. We, Ella Soloveitzik and Cecile Cayer, bequeath our scintillating brilliancy to Alexander Brown and Florence Saunders. 19. I, Signor Francesco Cappuccio, class pedant, aesthete, dictator, orator, attorney, academician, and radical, hereby confer upon my unworthy brother, Luigi Giuseppe Cappuccio. my everlasting scorn and hatred for racial discrimination and bigotry. We do hereby choose and appoint Miss Frances Parker, who perhaps knows more about the laudable records of our class than any other individual and who has always taken a most kindly interest in us, the sole administratrix of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, We, the Class of 1933, the testators, have to this, our final testament, inscribed on a lengthy scroll, set our hand and seal, this 23rd day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three. Respectfully submitted, Frank Cappuccio, Attorney at Law. - 13 The Senior Year Book— 1933 (Elams ftropfymj I SIGHED with relief as the morning of June 20, 1958, dawned bright and clear, since it was my first opportunity to escape the trouble in which I had been involved during the past several weeks. For the first time in my career, one of my operations had failed, and my patient had taken out her vengeance in the form of a law suit. At present buxom figures are quite the style, and because of her wish for extra avoirdupois. Miss Dorothy Berry had come to me to be treated. At the end of the treatments, due to a slight inconsistency in my work, she was but a mere shadow of her former self. Hence the law suit and sleepless nights for me! In order to avoid a nervous breakdown I had decided to take a trip as requested by my associate nurse, Kathleen Potter. I did not have to worry any more about the case against me, for I had put the entire matter into the competent hands of our lawyer, Frank Schofield. Gazing from my window on the 1500th floor of the Supernation Apartment Building in Hi-New York, I became eager to start at once. Consequently I signaled to the metallurgic stables to have the peg-mechanic bridle our steed immediately, and soon Kathleen and I were ready to start. Tommy Horse, one of the newer modes of traveling, had been designed by Thomas Nichols, the most prominent inventor of our time. The horse was composed of pure gold, for since the medium of exchange was now garnets, gold was absolutely worthless, and could be used extensively in various mechanisms. A great amount of gold which had been hoarded for years was removed from its secret hiding place and furnished for the construction of the Tommy horses, by Mr. Arthur Newman Lawton, who had amassed a tremendous fortune from his sale of the once precious metal. The gold in the horse is compounded so that this conveyance, lighter than air, is operated merely by winding with a key and turning the left ear. Plans for Tommy Horse had been drawn up by Earl Brun-skill, an ultra-modern architect. Kathleen and I took our respective seats on Tommy Horse (for he seated two people very well), and with a swift turn of his left ear, we were off. We had not decided definitely what route to follow, but planned to consider that as we rode along. The thought came to us simultaneously to visit the different sections of the world from A to Z. The universe has now been so divided that all those whose names begin with certain letters live in separate geographical sections, from miles below the surface of the earth to miles above it. In accordance with the old adage that it is the exception which proves the rule, there are some few to be found outside their proper spheres, but this has been the case in all eras. We pressed the button opposite A, and, with a whirring noise, Tommy Horse proceeded to go upward. He had his own ideas as to where the A’s should be located. Soon we approached a brilliantly lighted street—Sidera Avenue, as the signs indicated. Everywhere was merriment and pleasure. All was upheld by an upside down force of gravity; thus we felt perfectly at ease. The journey had made us rather hungry; so on approaching an inviting looking night club called “The Beu Coy,” we brought Tommy Horse to a halt, removed the key, and entered the building. We were greeted by a charming woman with reddish hair, the proprietor, whom later we recognized to our surprise as Beulah McCoy, a former classmate of ours. She sat us at a table and beckoned to a waiter. We were seated near the kitchen door, and as it swung open, whom do you suppose we saw? No other than Joe Ruisi in the garb of head chef. Just then Lillian Arnone came by in the guise of a Mexican cigarette girl. This seemed to be a day of surprises for, when the entertainers came out, there was a regular class -4 14 -- The Senior Year Book— 1933 reunion. Among them were Arnie Austin, who rendered a beautiful baritone solo, Angelina Trovato and Rose Pellegrino later joining Arnie’s performance with their melodious soprano voices. Another group of performers soon appeared, featuring Ken Gerrish and Elizabeth Whalen, partners in an extremely graceful Apache dance. During these presentations, snappy ethereal music was being played on the vio-piano by Helen Alto. At one side of the room we noticed a booth with the inscription, “Alicia, Wonder Mystic of the Heavens.” Overcome by our feminine curiosity, we entered to learn what the stars held for us, and learned to our amazement that the prophetess was our friend, Alice Briggs. When it came time for us to express our greatest wish, we agreed that nothing would please us so much as to visit all our former classmates. Alice told us that this would be entirely possible if we were to press the buttons on Tommy’s neck in succession and then let him follow his own course, influenced by her magic control. Overjoyed, we paid our bill in garnets (the new medium of exchange recently invented by the eminent scientist. Professor Samuel Barber, P. H. D. X. Y. Z.), wound up Tommy Horse, pressed the B lever, and were once again on our way. This time we entered upon a straight course, uninterrupted until we came to a village and were stopped on the outskirts by a road gang, who were busily employed in erecting a new thoroughfare. The most diligent of them, strange as it may seem, we discovered to be Ernie Fulford. He approached us with a cheerful smile and asked us to leave Tommy Horse at a road station and take the aero-car service into town, at the same time calling his assistant, Finny Steadman, to direct us. The A-l pilot (or should I say, pilotess) turned out to be none other than Beverly Barber. Bev always did have a flair for operating queer contraptions. A short distance from the hangarage where the aero-cars were kept was a small lunch cart, inside of which Myrtle Barber and Christine Tucker were dishing out hot ice cream rolls by the dozen to Helen Kimber and Emma Browning. After we had satisfied our appetites with this new and delectable confection, we started toward the village in the aero-car under the careful control of Pilot Barber. As we proceeded, we saw in the distance a message in smoke which told us to descend 5,000 feet and show our credentials to the inspector. We dropped down to a level with a huge tank, which, when the cover was lifted, we saw was operated by Audrey Buchanan. After she had inspected our credentials and collected our garnet chips, we were once more on our way. Finally we reached the village and discovered that an immense country fair was at the height of its noisy celebration. Even in this hyper-sophisticated day and age, the simple enjoyments of life still offer certain satisfactions, so we turned our footsteps toward the fair, after having taken leave of our pilot. Our attention was first attracted by a raucous-voiced barker, directing the crowds to the various entertainments. Could this be the quiet Frank Fletcher we had known in our younger years? It was hard to believe, but certain facial characteristics betrayed his identity. The main event of the day was a race to the moon and back on equines similar to ours, the contestants being women who rode bareback. Since this promised to be an exciting contest, we took our places near the starting point. We were close enough now, clearly to discern the jockeys who, marvelous to relate, were none other than Theresa Carollo, Alice Burdick, and Angelina Bianchi. The timekeeper, a lively wide-awake gentleman, gave the signal, and they were off! As our attention was now attracted by the timekeeper, who seemed to be busily engaged in watching the time-o-meter, something strangely familiar about his appearance puzzled us for a short while. Yes, sure enough, it was George Smith, judging so diligently. According to the time-o-meter. five minutes and two watts had passed when the whirring of a horse’s tail informed us that the racers were returning. The winner, who won by a gold lock, was Theresa Carollo. Now children need never cry in vain for the moon when it can be reached so speedily. A short distance from this spectacle was a human apple target, at whom gold- 15 j- Thf. Senior Year Book— 193.1 en apples were being thrown, with the understanding that the object of attack must forfeit his entire pay if he spoke a single word. It was utterly astonishing to discover Frank Cappuccio as the target, and Frank DeBartolo picking up the apples as fast as they were thrown, and selling them over again. Could it be possible that the friends had become estranged during the lapse of years? In another section of the fair grounds was an exhibition by the world-renowned scientists, Deutsch and Sawyer, their display being a Martian, whom they had recently brought down with them from our neighboring planet. As he did not exactly appeal to our aesthetic sense, we quickly left in search of a more pleasing sight. A small part of the grounds was given over to the demonstration of live stock and we were especially interested in two competitors, directly opposite each other, who seemd to be vying for honors. Their exhibits were lined up identically and each time the woman moved her animals, the man moved his, too. This was indeed a bitter contest and, wishing to view it at a closer angle, we moved nearer the scene. The shock was too much for us though, when we found the two rivals to be Muriel Harwick and Roger Harrington. It is quite the vogue at present to be proficient in languages. Indeed to be really educated, one must feel at home in at least ten tongues. Therefore, we were not astonished to find a booth labeled “Learn the French Language in One Easy Lesson—Ten Minutes.” Out of curiosity, we entered and found a class in session, but a surprise, indeed delightful, was due us, when the French instructor proved to be our own little French wizard, Cecile Cayer. Directly opposite this booth of learning was one identical in form, but given oyer to the instruction of Italian. With high hopes for more pleasant surprises, we went in and were amply rewarded, for Frank Celestino was imparting much of his knowledge of the Italian language to eager listeners. Kathleen and I then entered a neighboring television booth, which was operated by Asa Brown. Through this de- vice we located Tommy Horse and radioed for him to be sent to us on a beam of helium, a process which had recently been contrived by Prof. Domenic Chimento. In less time than we could bat an eyelash, Tommy Horse was again with us. Upon our exit from the fair grounds we chanced to see in the distance a huge stationary comet and sitting upon it, Rosa Brusa, the world’s champion comet sitter. This time we pressed the C button and proceeded downward; then, after having dropped a few thousand feet, Tommy Horse continued in a course parallel to the earth. The air began to get much warmer and gentle breezes stirred the humid atmosphere. A broad expanse of water sparkled beneath us, and large shady trees bordered a beautiful land. We did not need any sign to inform us that this was Cuba, island of warmth and peace. We stopped in the midst of what seemed to be a terrific argument between two Cuban women and one man, who were wrangling about the price of the man’s wares. He appeared to be selling hardware at a price so exorbitant that the women objected. On their turning around to confer together, we were delighted to discover two more of our former classmates, Eleanor Fusaro and Ethel Smith. Both were attired in native costume, and fitted charmingly into the tropical atmosphere. In an artistically arranged outdoor theatre we encountered Marguerite Cham-plin and Mary Desimone gracefully presenting a native dance of the nymphs. A short distance in tho background were Vincent Turco and Patsy Sposato strumming their Hawaiian guitars, to which melodious appeal the dancers responded readily. Suddenly we were crudely pushed out of the way by a strong arm. and a rough masculine voice not very gently told us to clear the road. As we looked up to determine whom the orders came from, we saw nothing, but glancing down we recognized our own classmate, George Falcone. loaded with about 250 small books. Directly behind him were Frederick Johns and Wally Lamb, also conveying reading matter. They marched on ahead, Falcone in front, Lamb in the center, and Johns 16 )►•- The Senior Year Book— 1933 bringing up the rear. Since they appeared to be headed for some important destination, we followed them, and under their leadership, reached a massive book stand, behind which was Jean Hirst selling the volumes as fast as they came in. A huge sign imparted the knowledge that it was a new form of poetry called meterless harmony, which had been devised by Rebecca Dinwoodie, another of our classmates. We could easily understand this because of Becky’s ability to write such beautiful lyrics in our High School days. Although we had been here only a few hours, we were eager to journey on. Consequently Tommy was hailed, D lever pressed, and this time we really did go down. As we approached a section very close to sea level, it seemed as though we were going right into the water. Upon our approach, however, a rock arose from the deep and opened to receive us. We continued falling for miles until we reached Japan, a close neighbor to the China of our ancient fairy tales. First we approached a cherry orchard in full bloom. In one corner of this floral panorama, an artist was busily engaged in sketching a beautiful model. Imagine our excitement upon finding the painter to be Ruth Leon doing an entrancing portrait of Betty Cheever, who had still retained the charm of her youth and was indeed a worthy subject for an artist’s brush. Farther down the path we came upon a lovely rippling lake, across which was the Gratis Ferry, operated by a solitary boatsman, George MacLean, who had retired from a worrisome financial career to enjoy a less responsible and more pleasant existence. When we reached the opposite side, we were approached by two Japanesy ladies selling umbrellas. In spite of their different surroundings and makeup, we recognized the girls to be our old friends, Jean Thomson and Edith Cruickshank. The only thing really foreign about the country was the costume, for all the signboards and much of the conversation about us were purely Americanized. We had been too busily engaged to think of eating, but now our material natures demanded food. Thus we stopped at the nearest restaurant called the “Erl King.” The interior was a marvelous array of gold and ivory, with pure marble floors, the chairs all arranged in the form of a huge arena surrounding a raised platform. This was indeed a modern dining hall, for the newest mode of ordering had been installed; that is, when we sat down at the table we raised the receiver of the talki-phone, gave the order, and relaxed while waiting. In an incredibly short time our waiter appeared, balancing two large trays on his outstretched hands. At first we did not recognize him, but we soon awoke to the fact that our nectar and ambrosia were being served by none other than Charles Crandall. His dignified mien quite befitted the luxurious surroundings. We had almost finished our meal when our attention was attracted to a gentleman (presumably the proprietor of the place) addressing the customers. During his speech we realized that we were being harangued by that renowned member of our class, Earl Larkin. He informed us that as a special feature he had brought down a show straight from Wideway, Kalamazoo, which w’as now the center of all dramatic entertainment. With a graceful flourish of his right hand, Mr. Larkin introduced: “Eddy Edmund’s Dashities of 1958.” A large chorus, led by Peggy Smith, did an enchanting ballet number. The dancers included several more of our former acquaintances, namely, Pauline LaMarche, Lola Matarese, Ruth Taillon, Sally Larkin, and Ruth Durfee. They all pirouetted in perfect grace and rhythm, and with absolute confidence in their ability, which far excelled the famed Albertina Rasch dancers of our high school days. The next on the program was the presentation of the Harmony Three from Gay Paree,” three stunning blondes, whose voices surely did blend in perfect harmony. Once again we were miraculously confronted by more of our classmates, for this fine trio was composed of Bessie Taylor, Beatrice Lowry, and Eleanor Hoxsie. As a final number, Eddy Edmund came out and did a spirited song and dance in person. We left in search of a place to sleep, but finding no quarters near at hand, de- -417 The Senior Year Book—1933 tided to get some information from the nearest policeman. Fortunately he was right on the comer and upon drawing closer, we recognized Matthew Hannuk-sela, a typical husky guardian of the law. He directed us to an inn a few blocks distant, where we signed. The night clerk, Frank Capalbo, gave us the key to our room. He then beckoned to a porter, lounging near the stairs, to get our baggage. More surprises were in order for us when we found said porter to be David Palidino. Early in the morning we were awakened by a deafening tumult outside our window and, upon investigating, found that a building was being erected not more than two feet from our abode. The foreman was raging around the place giving orders in a husky voice and causing more confusion than the workmen. It was not much of a shock to recognize in him Albert Vitte-rito, one of our class’s noisiest. We set out bright and early on Tommy Horse and this time decided to travel E because the time was getting short. We found ourselves going up, up, up, through the center of the earth until we reached good old New York, that Metropolis of the Universe, no matter in what day or age. Tommy Horse was put in storage for a few hours while we traversed the great city. As we walked along, a huge poster caught our eye, announcing a coming prize fight between two of the greatest female pugilists of the century, Bette Clarke and Janet Potter. Boxing had become a serious occupation for women and what sport could be better suited to such athletic enthusiasts? A huge crowd pushed us along to a rostrum where an attractive blonde woman, following the example of the ancient Edna Wallace Hopper, was giving beauty hints and ideas. It did not take long for us to discover that the woman was Elizabeth Lawson, assisted in her work by Alice Levcowich, who handed her lotions and printed matter as she desired them. Across the thoroughfare hung an enormous banner inscribed with the words, “The Inside News of the Day.” Underneath it was written that further details would be furnished upon request by Secretary Dean in the upper office. Always eager for inside information, we entered the building, pressed the button marked office, and almost instantly arrived on the 2500th floor of the building. The secretary of the club, Miss Edna Dean, invited us to look around. First we entered the member room, where, seated at various tasks or else just conversing (one of the requirements for a good member being ability in conversation) were Beatrice Nar-done, Florence Giannoni, Frances Cheren-za, and Helen Lenihan, all familiar to us. The next place we entered was the executive office. Here were the desks of both president and vice president, behind which sat Carmela Vocatura, an able president, and Elsie Panciera, an efficient vice president. Both had always distinguished themselves in the skilfull accomplishment of their duties as distributors of information. Leaving this room, we ascended a flight of stairs which led us to the roof and the open air. A group of interested onlookers was gazing intently at a man who laughed death to scorn as he walked a silver rod extended from the roof of the building we were on to the next structure. He bore a remarkable resemblance to a former school friend of ours, and sure enough we found it to be Ferris Dove, enacting this death-defying stunt. His manager, for whom he had amassed a great fortune by his daring achievements, was standing nonchalantly near the edge of the rod. Although the years had added pounds to this once very slight figure, it was not difficult to discern the features of Stanley Civco. Refreshments were being sold to the spectators by Celeste Jackson. A gentleman standing on the roof beside us was about to drop down in his aero ball and we, having lost all interest in the club, accepted his invitation to accompany him. In the role of advertising agent for a New York theatre, he gave us a pamphlet which announced the personal appearance of Mme. Julia Tamer, one of the greatest actresses since the ancient days of Sarah Bernhardt. As a special feature, her performance was to be attended by several distinguished critics: Louise DePietro, Anna Sposato, and Everett Sherman, all of whom we had known very well in past years. Unfortunately, our time was too -4 i8 The Senior Year Book—1933 limited to allow us to attend this superperformance. We alighted from the aero ball and proceeded to walk down the street as far as the main office of the “Cosmic News Review,” a paper put out hourly in order to report all the news of the universe. The office was on the ground floor and, on looking in, we perceived in the center of the room a huge desk labeled Editor, behind which was seated a woman, busily engaged in crossing out and rewriting ma-. terial as it was handed her. Whom other could one expect to have followed this vocation than our own editor-in-chief. Mar-celle Hammond? Her role was that of the most popular journalist in America. At two smaller desks in the background, Mary Straup and Annie Sturgeon were faintly discernible, perched in the typical attitude of newspaper reporters. In an open palace farther down the street, a fashion show was being presented by the famous connoisseur of women’s dresses, Theose Smith. The display was just beginning and the first to appear was a beautiful red-headed woman, attired in a robe of pure emerald braid. She was evidently the star model, for the moment she came upon the scene, all voices were hushed and all eyes focused upon her. What an appropriate occupation for our charming little damsel. Sally Hammond! Following her was a striking blonde, whom nature surely intended for the world of beauty, our own Denny Perrin, with an air of sophistication strongly accentuated by the years. The last to appear was Annette McCloy, whose gown was a perfect match for her lovely blue eyes. Among the spectators w'e noticed a dignified society matron w'hose elegance and charm outshone the costliness and beauty of her costume. She removed her monocle for a moment, according us the opportunity to recognize the aristocratic features of Dorothy Gould. Even greater shocks were due us. however. As we looked around wre saw a solitary man in a far corner of the grounds, writing feverishly and adding to the heap of paper already piled up near his feet. Since his apparent discomfort interested us, we walked over to investigate further. Looking over his shoulder, we found that his literary output was composed of amorous poems, but to whom addressed? At that moment the poet glanced up with nearly disastrous effect upon Kathleen and me, for who would ever have expected to see our old pal Charley St. Onge in the guise of a poet? Years can certainly change people, as indeed was only too obvious in this case, but who was the target for his cupid’s arrows, you wonder? Need you ask? Have we not already mentioned the star model? At first the name of the establishment in which we had left Tommy Horse had not meant much to us, but upon our return the appellation “The Home of the Roses” seemed to hold a special significance. Sure enough, standing in the door-way were Mary Rose and Elizabeth Rose. Though not connected by the bonds of kinship, they were affiliated by business ties. Just then, an industrious-looking woman, presumably their secretary, appeared. This time our guess was correct, for the woman was Lenore Smith, our former class secretary. At last wre W'ere becoming accustomed to wonders. Since our vacation period was drawing to an end, wre skipped the buttons to S and. with a rising force. Tommy w’as again high in the air. Soon it became unbearably hot, and we felt the spell of the South upon us. From our elevated position we could see the palms gently rustling in the warm, almost motionless breeze. We alighted on a beach w’here a number of people were viewing what seemed to be a diving exhibition near the water’s edge. The sea had shifted in the course of years so that the deepest part was at the shore, while the water became more shallow’ the farther it receded. We concluded that we were just in time for the final event because after his exhibition each contestant swam to the beach. The first we noticed particularly was Sandy Vita in a brilliant black onyx bathing suit, followed by Margaret Dotolo attired in a striking outfit of green galvanized rubber. They in turn were taken in charge by Hazel Williams and Julia Prizito, their trainers. We strolled through the residential section and just as wre were passing a huge mansion wrhich wras distinguished by a beautifully wrought doctor’s sign, desig- 19 ji The Senior Year Book— 1933 nating it as the home of Dr. William Thompson, a fine looking gentleman walked out of the house, preceded by a most charming woman, dressed becomingly in a silver-webbed gown. We were not much surprised to find that their features resembled those of Grace Bliven and Bill Thompson. We saw them enter a large Packillac simouline, the wealthy class’s favorite mode of conveyance. Seated in the front of the vehicle was Edward Vis-gard, handsomely attired in a chauffeur’s uniform. As we approached the down town section of the city, we were irresistibly attracted to a tremendous flower stand, behind which stood Helen Giorno, arranging her floral bevy for the early morning business. Already at that early hour a beauty parlor had opened its doors, a placard announcing the name of the establishment, the Blanc Anze. The two proprietors, who were famed for their ability as experts of milady’s coiffure, were none other than Blanche Langworthy and Anza Rockwell. In a separate section of the shop stood Dominic Perra, giving one of his famous Grecian Urn haircuts. Walking past a most fashionable dress shop, we chanced to see a fashionably dressed man in the company of a number of beautiful women. We heard some whispered comments that he was Thomas Saunders, the principal of the largest high school in the world, and that the women with him were several of his most efficient teachers, whom we afterwards recognized as Evelyn Olsen, Mildred Hoadley, and Amy Reynolds. Since the requirements for an ideal teacher at present are beauty as well as brains, the young women, with the principal, were entering Mme. Jessie's Attire Shoppe, where a chic gown could be purchased for not more than 1,000 garnets. A woman rushed out to greet them, rattling off French like a true Parisian. She was, no doubt, Mme. Jessie, for she bore a striking resemblance to Jessie Smith, who had been so quiet and demure in her school days. What wonders can be wrought by the years! Just outside the city, we visited the f Solo-Mearns observatory where we learned Ithat due to the perseverance of a mathematical wizard, Ella Soloveitzik (just another of our many celebrities), the exact distance from our earth to the newly discovered worlds had been calculated. Putting these estimations to practical use, Dr. Dorothy Mearns, the greatest of women scientists, had invented an optoscope, which enabled us to view the people of those far away planets as though they were next door. This marvelous invention we now saw operated by two of Professor Mearns’ ardent disciples, Clara Peckham and Eileen Simmons. During our inspection of this spectacle we were interrupted by Amy Pratt, a messenger of the International Telegraphic Co., with a radiogram for me, warning me to hasten back or a rival doctor would soon usurp my entire profession. Fortunately we had by this time seen all of our classmates and were so cheered and refreshed by the realization of their accomplishments that even the thought of facing the law suit again could not deter us.

Samuel Deutsch Sam’s unfailing good-nature and willingness to help have gained him many friends during his stay in High School. Moreover his original ideas and anxiety to express them have enlivened many a dull classroom. Margaret Dotolo •MARGIE In school, “Margie is indeed a model of secretarial propriety. Only when, on occasion, she laughs quiet ly to herself, we wonder what the cause of her gentle humor can be. After having talked with her and heard her happy voice, we wish to add her to our list of friends. Ruth Durfee Ruth is one who comes to us from far out in the country. Trying to make the best of every thing, she seems to enjoy life to the fullest. Although her jovial spirit has acquired many friends, she is not known intimately by the majority of the class. Those of the inner circle surely cherish her friendship. George Falcone RAZZ” Little, but oh my! Who has ever seen a little body with so much pep? Razz has attended every ath letic contest played by W. H. S. during his four years here. He has made more manifest the saying Good things come in small pack- The Senior Year Book— 1933 Eleanor Fusary J Do I hear absolute silence T No, it couldn't be, for there is Eleanor. Any class room, hallway, or dance hall never could be quiet with this busy-body in it. It isn't everyone who can always work on school assignments as hard as Eleanor does.

Any one who has heard him recite can attest to the fact that, though silence is golden, the words which follow, when it is broken, are well worth waiting for. Kenneth F. Gerrish Not only is “Clark Gable the la dies’ man from Shannock, but his personality has brought him the vote of the best looking boy in the class. He has a dancing ability which surpasses that of most eoun try lads. That erect and neat walk calls in its silent way for a back ward glance from the opposite sex. “Ken,” you will reach higher steps in life if you continue as well as you have begun. Dorothy Gould DOT Dot’s” friendliness and helping hand” have won for her a host of friends in the Westerly High School. Although she is very studious, she spends much of her spare time at the Gym.

Arthur N. Lawton Coming leisurely into our lives, Newt has been a popular sourre of amusement to us during our years at W. H. S.

Ruth Leah Leon RUFUS During our earlier years, Ruth, our elass girl artist, has saved us many uneasy moments by her abil ity to pacify the drawing teacher with her splendid work, and to take the instructor's mind from the hor- C rors of the drawings exhibited by us who are less talented. We take this opportunity of thanking her from the bottom of our hearts. Heat rice C.

Elizabeth M. Lawson Neatness to some suggests stiff ness. Here, however, is an example to prove that they are w rong. Babe, our neatest girl, is neither stiff nor prim, but joyful and sweet. She is the only person in the class who can be depended upon to blush en chantingly under any circumstances. Helen Lenihan Hears all, sees all, knows all' Who?—Helen, our socially elect class pessimist. H. I. L's. outside hobby (don’t tell a soul) is embroidering.

Alice Levcowich ALEC, AL Alice is jolly, good natured, pop ular, and a real friend to all, but rather overwhelmingly frank in her opinions. May every success be hers in the commendable profession of nursing! Certainly no one could be more reliable. George Mac Lean We wonder if George will be de signing our homes some day.

We feel sure that whatever she does in life will be a success. Anza Rockwell Judging from Ann’s unique and original drawings, we are confident that she will be a huge success in the artistic world. Besides being an enthusiastic artist, Anza, through her interpretation of the role of “Aunt March” in “Little Women, undoubtedly ranks as one of the best actresses of the class. Domenic Perra “DOM Dom has the happy faculty of being always cheerful. His ready wise cracks have helped to enlight en many a weary classroom.

Eileen Simmons Through four years Eileen has preserved that school-girl complex ion, and fur four years she has been the envy of many. Eileen is so quiet that you have to take a look to see whether she’s there or not. The great quality of silence surely does apply to Eileen! Ethel Lenore Smith Smitty'’ is the wizard who jour neys to school from the big city of Alton. Attached to her string of honors is that of being elected the stenographer for this brilliant class. Her personality is that fine mind of hers and we all wonder how she attained it. Won’t you let us unto the secret, 'Smitty?

Ethel R. Smith Effie is one of the talkative girls of our class. Just try to keep her quiet! This doesn’t seem to affect her ability, however, as she has made the Honor Roll ever since she entered W.

Anna Sposato Anna may be a small part of the Senior Class, but when she’s driving a car she's important, Take me ome from the matinee, Anna? And because of her generous na lure, she always says, Yes.” We wonder how many passengers she'll have for Kingston next year. Aubrey C. Steadman Here we have one of the class assets. Finn is in the band and has taken part in many of our sports and social entertainments. By no means d es he lack popularity, as his list of activities shows. He has a passion for ladies from France, but we won't blame him for that. Mary Straup Mary is one of the fastest typists we have and we’re all mighty proud of her.

None other than “Woe.” Bill's ability as a leader is shown by the way the younger boys of the A. A. look to him for their example. He was a “hum dinger” at his favorite sport, football. We all were sorry with him because he could not help us win again this year. Vincent Turco “TURK,” “BILL Band and orchestra rehearsals are not rehearsals when the class musician, Vincent Turco, is not present.

Hazel Williams “Sunny's” cheerful disposition enables her to associate successfully with anyone. She is a good sport and is always ready to give her help ,and friendly cooperation.
