You have revealed to us the beauty not only of the French language but also of the great masterpieces written by French authors. In dedicating this year book to you, we have tried to show our sincere appreciation and gratitude to one who has been a sympathetic and understanding teacher. Miss Laura E.

Eager expectation. Veiled tear. “Vales” profuse and Yet youth is not fain To depart So deep the cleaving of the twain. —Joseph Walthers. (Hass (0itp Tune: “Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms” 1 As the portals of school days behind us are closed. And our parts in Life’s drama we play, Let us firmly resolve that our best we will give To the problems presented each day— For with this as our motto and Hope in our hearts, As the story of Life is begun, God will guide us and aid us, when danger is near, And the goal of Success will be won. 2 For the problems of Life, like the problems of school, Must be studied and solved each in turn, And the errors we make, we must strive to correct, Thus, new problems to solve, we will learn. Learn to live and let live, learn of sorrow and joy, Learn the future to face, unafraid. Learn to love one another, as God has decreed, And our roles will be counted well played. —Cathryn Farrell.

H. S. We wish to thank you for your wonderful help in our school activities during the past three years. To our athletic teams in both defeat and victory you have been loyal. To our Senior Play, “Milestones,” some fourteen hundred of you gave your attendance, which made this play. I believe, one of the most successful, both financially and dramatically, ever staged by a graduating class. The same support was accorded the school concert which was given a few weeks ago. The taxes paid by the people of this town for the support of their public schools make it possible for Westerly to have a school system second to none in the State. For all these evidences of your interest in our education, we again express our appreciation. To our teachers we extend our most sincere thanks and congratulations for their patient and willing guidance which has led us through these turbulent years. Many of our number will continue their education in higher schools, colleges, and universities. Some will seek employment in business or in labor. But we hope that as you may follow our careers, you will see that we meet life’s problems in a way to make you feel that your investment in us was good. In order that you may become even better acquainted with our lives and careers, you will hear our class history, written by a noted historian, which will tell you of our progress; our will, drawn up by one of Westerly’s leading lawyers, which will show you our wisdom; our prophecy, which will give you a foretaste of our future; and our gifts, which will demonstrate our amazing ingenuity. Now up with the curtain, and we will proceed with our evening’s entertainment. —Donald Graham. — 5( 8 )►- The Senior Year Book — 1935 OUaaH Siatnry FRIENDS and Classmates, as Historian of the ever glorious Class of 1935, I have taken the liberty of organizing a club, which, for lack of a better name, we shall call the Eureka Club, for have we not found the first step to success in Westerly High School? The club for all practical purposes shall be composed of members of this very Class of 1935. The only requirements for membership shall be that each person belong to the same Class of 1935, and that all promise, on penalty of expulsion, to meet at a specified place every five years, no matter where they are or in what circumstances. The purpose of this institution shall be to renew old friendships, old jokes, old news, old happenings dear to the heart of every member. As a special courtesy to the public, however, we shall invite them to attend the first meeting of the Eureka Club. Let us imagine, then, that we are in the year 1940, and in a private dining hall of a hotel. All of our members are congregated around a huge table, and. strange to say, almost our whole class is present. Well, our stage is set, our appetites are satisfied, and we are all ready to begin the game of reminiscing. Our toastmaster rises and gives us our cue—“Do you remember when—” The room becomes silent while he reviews for us the general events of our three years at Westerly High. “Do you remember when, in our second stage of life according to the greatest writer of them all, William Shakespeare, we came as school boys and girls, with satchels and shining morning faces, to the proud old building on which we had cast a longing eye for some time, a building which was for us no less than a house of dreams? “We were welcomed here by the genial Class of ’33, who introduced to us the faculty and various prominent figures in the classes of ’33 and ’34. “Then our first class meeting! I have often wondered if we looked as incompetent and ignorant as those attending other Sophomore meetings which I. as an upperclassman, have witnessed since that time. It seems possible and even probable. At last with the aid of Miss Fallon, we chose our competent Scots statesman, Andrew Low, as leader of our inexperienced group; Janet Coleman next as vice president; Dorothy Clark, secretary; and William Maxson as treasurer. It was in this year also that we proudly selected our class rings. This seems, however, to be the most uneventful year that we spent here, possibly because we did not know how to make it otherwise, or possibly because we were so busy becoming acquainted with everyone and everytRing. At least I am sometimes inclined to agree with Miss Mclntire in her statement that when we first enter High School as sophomores we are very eager to study and learn, but the longer we stay the more careless and independent we become. “After a reasonably profitable summer vacation we returned to these protecting walls, ready to accomplish almost any undertaking. “Now as experienced Juniors we could look down upon and scoff at the insignificant, uninitiated children entering for the first time the sanctum sanctorum. “Our first official move was to call a class meeting, for the purpose of elect- —• ( 9 )►“ The Senior Year Book — 1935 ing class officers. This year we chose as our president, Genio Waters; as our vice president, we selected Helena Dunn; for secretary, we chose Jean Robertson; and for treasurer, Jennie Tassone. “Many of our class distinguished themselves this year. Roger Gould. Joseph Celestino, and Thomas Wills in football; Donald Graham and Allen Cornell in baseball; and Stephen Chernasky, Thomas Wills, and Joseph Celestino in basketball. “Sports, however, was not the only field in which our mighty class came, saw, and conquered, for Natalie Sherman and Andrew Low won first and second prizes in Prize Speaking; Helena Dunn scored first for the women and William Lamb placed second for the men in the Chemistry Contest held at Rhode Island State College; and Ethel Maines received second prize in the Martha C. Babcock Prize Essay Contest. “Following the example of the Class of '34, we omitted the customary Junior Prom, since there was still a depression. “Finally, after a busy year, our vacation arrived, and with great joy we rushed from the premises of our school for two months of play. “Yet even more joyfully we returned on one golden September morning in 1934 as the proverbial Dignified Seniors.” No longer did we stoop so low as to plague the new lot of shy Sophs. We left all that to the Juniors who had no tradition of dignity to uphold. “In order to make our last year a ‘Howling Success,’ we chose, as president of our class, Donald Graham; as vice president, Helena Dunn; as secretary, Mildred Sawyer; and as treasurer, Henry Bacon. “This last year was the busiest and most exciting of all. What with the annual Senior Play, ‘Milestones’ (which, by the way, was phenomenally successful largely due to the unfailing help of our well known and well beloved director, Jane B. Stanton, and to the outstanding acting ability of several in the cast), and preparation for graduation, our last hectic year in this protecting sanctuary ended gloriously. “One more event was to take place, however, which would forever insure our niche in Westerly’s Hall of Fame. Our Chemistry Team, for the third consecutive year, won the cup at Rhode Island State, and two of the three winners were of our class—Andrew Low, who stood first, and Joseph Gormally, second. “Our excellent baseball team was led through many victories by Donald Graham, and was made up of many of our own class. “Finally came graduation itself. How proud and important we felt, hustling hither and yon and displaying our dignified caps and gowns; yet how sad we were to think that at last we had come to the end of our happy times in this dear old school of ours. Ethel Maines was our valedictorian, and Eileen Moen our salutatorian. “We were no longer children. The next year we would all probably be out in the cold, cruel world, earning a living, or contriving fo cram more knowledge into our pitifully small craniums. At least we could be certain of one thing, we would never be quite so carefree or happy-go-lucky, for once we left the sacred portals of our dear old Alma Mater, we were no longer children but men and women and we would be expected to speak and act as such. “Now, tonight, we are gathered together again after five years of toil out of reach of the dragonlike vigil of all of our former guardians, who had kept us from rambling too far afield before we became alumni. Many of us have gone a long way toward achieving success in the careers which we have chosen for ourselves, and I wonder what one among us can deny that we are better men and women and have gone farther in life because of the helpful experience and friendships gained during those Tnemor-able three years at Westerly High School.” —Elizabeth Leon. —• ( io )►- The Senior Year Book — 1955 Claas JJritpbrni IT has been a long time smce I have seen 1 a Westerly newspaper. Although I have enjoyed teaching the classics to the natives in Patagonia, I have often wondered what all my former classmates were doing. With the arrival of this Westerly Sun. June 20, 1945, I should be able to learn something of the news of the day. Extra: Pilot Bowen Briggs, the Pride of Potter Hill, was today resting comfortably at the Panciera-Gilchrist Hospital. Pilot Briggs, in his plane “The Spirit of Unrest,” was on a non-stop flight from Burden’s Pond to Ashaway. He was unable to land, having taken lessons only in taking off, so George Williams, local sportsman and big game hunter, was called in to bring him down. William Maxson. editor of this sheet, personally tried to interview Drs. Panciera and Gilchrist, but discovered that they had been in Norwich at the time and hadn’t even heard about it. News Item: Two children of John Nadolny, wealthy stock broker, were mysteriously kidnapped yesterday. They were last seen coming from Elaine Bell’s private kindergarten. Mr. Nadolny has engaged a well-known and efficient detective, Helena Dunn, to solve the case. Miss Dunn observes that, although she has yet no definite clues to the whereabouts of the missing children, she strongly suspects Natalie Sherman, famous portrait painter, of abducting them as possible subjects for a masterpiece.

News Item: Major Edward Wood, instructor at West ii H- The Senior Year Book — 1935 Point, was seriously annoyed at his reception here today.

Social Notes: That attractive and eligible bachelor and man-about-town, Donald Crandall, was among the guests at a tea yesterday afternoon at the luxurious home of Jean Robertson, a leader in social circles.

Miss Webster refuses to settle this momentous question, but refers him to Michael Olcowick, the “Romeo of the Screen.” who is said to be an adept in affairs of the heart.

We, the Class of 1935, on the eve of deviating from the security, sedantariness, and solicitude of erudite life and being of sound mental and physical health, do hereby proclaim to all intimately concerned, this, our last will and testament, precluding all previous facsimiles or extemporaneous references associated with us in any form. Article 1. We, the Senior Class, extend to our benignant faculty our sincere regrets for past actions and the deepest consolations and condolences for future matriculates. Art. 2. To Mr. Mason, our highly respected and laudable principal, we bequeath a talented array of adept gum-scrapers, products of our masticatory influence. Art. 3. To Mr. Sherman, our psychological biologist, we bequeath a new skeleton, appropriately christened “Bony”, whose wholesome taciturnity, we hope, will have a tranquilizing effect on the garrulous and mercurial inclinations of his wards. Art. 4. To the Juniors we leave our infallible genius for evading failure by mass cooperation, in the hope that they may avoid being subjected to the arduous difficulties of tautology. Art. 5. To the Sophomores (may their tribe decrease) we bestow a prolific supply of brotherly advice and the desire that they adhere to the three requisities of their existence, inferiority, inconspicuousness, and unobtrusiveness. Art. 6. Our individual endowments, spiritual, moral, or mundane, together with miscellaneous ramifications, shall be allotted as follows: We, Esther Crandall and Janet Coleman, will our compatibility with the male contingent to Mary Donati and Doris Pierce, who have evinced a shyness and aversion to their company.

We, Stephen Chernasky, Joseph Cel-estino, Thomas Wills, and Charles Larkin, leave our court skill to the remnant of the basketball team and particularly to Sam Larkin, who, with his combined readiness, will probably go down in history. I, Devere Kuehn, bestow the unbesmirched title of “Moose” upon Dory Pan-ciera, whose perpetually forlorn expression warrants this appellation. We. Joseph Gormaily and William Max-son, bequeath the sum total of our mathematical cognition to Archie Dubuque, who admits he is baffled by that Archimedean subject. We, Natalie Sherman and Cathryn Farrell, bequeath our dramatic interpretations to all future players in the hope that they will inspire them to even greater heights.

I, George Greeley, will to all the tutors who have had the patience to endure me for four years a personally autographed copy of my new book, “Greeley’s Philosophy,” which contains such personal perspectives as “Better late than never” and “What’s the difference as long as everybody’s happy.” I, George Wildes, bestow my perpetual levity and unfailing good humor in the face of adverse circumstances upon the smuggling Sophomores, along with the immortal words of the effervescent Mi-cawber, “Nil Desperandum. We, Gertrude LaMarche and Dorothy Clarke, bequeath our years of experience as accomplished danseuses to Jean Mac-Laren and Helen Leon.
