Recently, its aspect has shifted, making it a more intimate account of everyday happenings important to the people for whom it is written. When our class found itself on the verge of graduation, a written account of its past activities was deemed important. From among our unfamiliar classmates, we were fortunate in selecting as Freshman leaders Daniel West as highly esteemed President, Daniel Doan, his subordinate, Henry Anderson to record our momentous activities, (what they were, none of us now remembers), and William Hickey to handle our finances. Our athletic pride centered around Carolyn Abbott and Barbara Chidley who won letters for tennis. For an unusually juvenile class, this was estimable. To show their appreciation for our unusual qualities, our esteemed officials decided not to subject us to that long-anticipated bane of Freshmen, the first mid-year examinations. Although it was rumored that the cause was an epidemic of influenza, Ave secretly believed it to be delicate consideration on their part. Although it didn’t mean much then, Ave suddenly found in our midst a neAv secretary, Miss Nelson, who Avas to dole out punishments for the school in the years to come. When, after an altogether too short vacation, Ave returned, Rooms 12, 13, and 14 were designated as ours. To lead our scintillating class on its road to fame, Donald Emery Avas chosen President, with Norman Whiting in second position, Stanley Osgood to read us some stories about our class, and Anita Wilson to ascertain our financial credit. Again with our interest at heart, the faculty uoav introduced the tAvo- platoon system, leaving many of us breathless at our narrow escape. Too feAv of us, I’m sure, really appreciated the inconveniences of spending a gorgeous afternoon in school instead of being cooped up in our own individual homes, studying laboriously. During the fall of the year, Barbara Avas proudly contributed to the girl’s field hockey, the youngest varsity player. The majority of the boy’s tennis team Avas composed of Sophomores— Stanley Osgood, Sterling MacDonald, and Henry Fitts. A fresh lot of teachers was introduced, among them Mr. Keeney, Miss Smith, Mr. Alley, Miss Braim, and Mr. Barclay. There ensued a very busy year. The customary ritual of election of officers Avas performed early, results showing Daniel West to be President, aided and abetted by that so capable Henry Fitts, Avitli Barbara Shaw as Secretary, and Winthrop Andrews as Treasurer. Always heretofore regarded as belonging to the mystical future, the pas¬ time of those older than ourselves, the Junior Prom swung around, to be creditably undertaken by a committee headed by Anita Wilson. The con¬ summation of countless hours of toil was a harmonious Valentine color scheme Avitli gorgeous Avail decorations by Daniel West. A great many dramatic parts AA’ere taken by our class members. Stanley Osgood held many major roles accompanied by others of the class. Plays presented Avere “The Man Who Married A Dumb Wife”, “The Valiant”, and “The Trial of Mary Ingram”, the tercentenary presentation. Interest in athletics awoke. We supplied many shining lights to football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and hockey. Barbara Shaw was chosen to captain the next year’s hockey team. At the close of this strenuous year, we an¬ ticipated eagerly the most treasured year of a high school student—the Senior. And now we were seniors; now came the opportunity to look down haughtily on our inferiors, to leave school exhausted when we graduated, all the accepted privileges of a senior. But somehow—maybe Miss Parker’s curbing influence or just general good-will—we found ourselves conversing freely with under-classmates and meekly obeying rules as always. We hustled to elect officers. Leonard Chandler was selected as most capable to preside over our numerous class meetings with support from Barbara Franklin, the Vice-President, Barbara Shaw ' handled the records and business letters, while Henry Fitts took charge of the heavy financial dealings. Again we have been active in sp ' orts; giving Joe Flaherty as captain of football, Francis Corby, for cross country, Carolyn Abbott to head the girl’s basketball team, Dexter Mobbs as basketball leader, William Sullivan as the captain of baseball, and “Bud” Fitts as leader of boys’ tennis team. To bring further glory to the class, Stanley Osgood has held several leads, -supported by William Seaver, and Leonard Chandler. The presentations were “Outward Bound”, and “The Perfect Alibi’’, the Junior-Senior class play. From an unusually bright class, William Abbott was found to be by far the most outstanding, intellectually, seconded by Martha Boy den. A perma¬ nent honor roll of eleven was discovered to exist, which is a very creditable showing. For a great part of the year, we have been harassed by a nerve-racking drilling from the construction work at the rear of the building. There is to be a complete rejuvenation of the school’s make-up, a new gym, auditorium, lunchroom, and several additional classrooms. We were informed by the school-board that the stage end of the assembly hall was to be demolished April 4th. On this account, we set the date for the Prom April 2nd, and were at liberty to abuse the place to our heart’s content. The scheme was a flower garden, complete even to the rain. As the end approaches, many of us, I’m sure, are a little wary of the future, how it will treat us, and which ones from our ranks will succeed or be replaced by new-comers. But whatever may be our lot, we must keep alive an interest in this class and its memories. Peggy Marchant. Finis W. H. S.

And yet, to tell of what there good befell, I will relate all I discovered there. How first I entered it I scarce can say, Such drowsy dullness then upon me weighed. But when the Aberjona’s banks I reached, And looked aloft and saw that building tall, Fond memory came floating back, and then I thought of all the pals I knew before. Then was decreased, and softened some, the pain That in my heart I long had felt, and borne, Since that sad day s o many years before, When parted on the threshold of the world, That High School Class of 1932. So, as a man with difficult short breath, Forespent with toiling, ’scaped from sea to shore, Turns to the perilous waste, and stands at gaze; E ’en so, my spirits on that day so sad, Filled with emotion, turned to view that spot Where stood, in days gone by, that famous store Of sodas, frappes, and sundaes,—“Horace Ford’s.” And turning round about, I saw afar Manchester Field, with bleachers, goals, and track. Then, as 1 glanced around and down the street, From out the Postal Office did appear A form that made my drooping heart to jump; And swiftly I approached and spoke to it. (Enter Miss Parker) Please pardon, Ma’am, if 1 mistaken be, But can it be that we have met before? Miss Parker:— Oh yes, and I am sure that I know you. Many’s the year that I these streets have trod, Many the test. I’ve given in yon school, Many the prom I’ve bossed and supervised, Many the dread deficiency 1 ’ve given, Many the study hall where I’ve held sway, And I was guide of every senior class. W. II. S. Grad:— Are you in truth, my friend, Miss Parker, pray? Whose kindly counsel led us years ago? Then would I like to roll the years away, And have you be again my friend and guide. Miss Parker:— I, on this day, and now, do here devise That you may follow me; and I your guide, Will show you all the things that I have found, Statistics I have gathered recently Of friends who separated long ago. W. II. S. Grad:— Lead on, lead on; and we shall see anew That old Winchester gang of ’ 32. Miss Parker:— Let’s sit right here on Aberjona’s shore, And as the rippling water goes its way, Let us peruse this list of friends of yore, And see just how they’re getting on today.

S., the class of ’32, being of sound (?) and healthy mind, do hereby leave to our school mates, a last will and testament, containing, among our outstanding qualities, many unusual and delightful eccentricities. Among all our worldly goods, we have generously condescended to part with the following: As for individuals— 7, Jean Thompson, in a moment of generosity and kindly consideration, leave my peculiar and pathetic case of bashfulness to Priscilla Chamberlin, a shy lassie of the famous Junior class, with profoundest hopes that she will have better success with it than I have had. 7, Sterling—alias Alex, MacDonald, will to Charles Main my exquisite bubbling laughter. Right now, Charlie, my warnings against biting your tongue. Funny?—but I constantly do that ridiculous trick in French class. 7, Roberta Healy, readily leave my sweet smile to Jo Fowle, with the hope that when her “shadow of gloom” is lifted, her nice nature may stand out a bit- more, with its use. Is it too much to hope she may come out of her shell ? 7, John Johnson, with my broadest and most engaging grin, bequeath my most audacious and “nervy” remarks to the Latin class of 1933—of course, with my hearty apologies to poor Mr. Albro. 7, Arria Glidden, just bursting with good will, leave the creaking spring- on my tongue to Marguerite Thwing. The sincerest hopes go with it that while the possessor remains in High School, this charming, always welcome gift, in spite of its becoming second-hand instrument, may remain in as perfect con¬ dition as when attached to my somewhat overused organ of speech. Good luck with my toy, Marguerite, and be good to it. 7, Robert Bernnard will my copious supply of pep, vim, and vigor to Rovce Randlett, a mighty “Juniorite” lie may find it useful on the gridiron. 7, Helen Barry, without comment, leave my “dash” to Louise Rollins, that pathetically quiet little girl whom we all pity. Dare I express a hope that she will benefit by it? With a friendly smile for all, I, Leonard Chandler, the optimistic president of the Senior class, will my cheery smile to some forlorn Junior who is badly in need of one. 7, Barbara Grant, with due regret, am nearing the time when I must grudg¬ ingly part with my beloved brother, laziness. Tearfully I will this to—well, step up Juniors and we’ll have a “free-for-all.” Dear Children, I, Wink Andrews, with tears in my eyes, part with two of my shining qualities. Where, oh where, Juniors, could you ever find such a sense of humor and such a nerve as I possess? Friends, you may all divide them among yourselves, and with special permission of the copyright owner. The remains may be installed in the town dump. Think of me dear ones, when these qualities become your constant joy and aid. 7, Josephine Smith, leave some of my irresponsibility to Lucille Pratt, another one of those people who wastes time in idle spit-ball throwing; and in warning, let me say that I hope she will start working before it’s too late. Everybody has noticed—alas—my incessant desire to loaf. (“Ketch wise” folks ?) 7, Anthony Ciruso, will my schnozzle to Bud Costello. See if you can learn to whistle through your nose. A great art! Funny—I never could learn it my boy. 7, Martha Hoyden, if it be possible to will my queer qualities to a member of the Freshman class, bequeath unto Phillipa Kelly, my dignity, poise, and tact. Take as good care of them as 1 have, Phil and you will be equally well rewarded. And now, we, the solemn seniors, in bidding you all a. tearful goodbye, leave to you, that delightful room—24—and a sledge hammer thrown in for poor Miss Parker. Listen, my children to her pleadings, and this antique in¬ strument may not have to be applied in taming many classes of wild seniors to come. Good luck, fellow friends! Duly performed and signed this eventful and auspicious day, the ninth of June, the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Two. Carolyn Abbott Harold Brown (Attorneys at law) WINCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRAR WINCHESTER, MASS. Cpresentation of the Glass (fift ■•O ' — QTOUR years ago when we first entered upon our careers as high school students, we did not realize how great would be our debt of gratitude to the Winchester High School. Now, as Ave stand upon the threshold of de¬ parture—upon the very threshold of a new and different existence—tlii heart-felt obligation is uppermost in our minds. Indeed, it is more to partially appease this intense emotion than to carry through a custom made venerable Avith the passing of years, that we present a gift to our school. Yet, not one of us believes that this or any other service we might render, as a group or as individuals, Avill ever repay our school for all that it has done for us. As this year is the bicentennial anniversary of George Washington’s birth it would seem appropriate to choose a gift of proper significance. Such a choice, however, would not be expedient, for in our school Ave already have memorials to this great American. Owing to the erection of the new addition and the renovation of the old building, it did not seem judicious for us to select a definite gift at this time. It can be seen quite readily that, with no positive conception of the conditions that Avill prevail upon the completion of the construction work, a gift of our choosing might not fit in with ' the new scheme of things. Although the neAv Aving Avill be furnished with every necessity, there Avill be certain equipment which, Avhile not so essential as to demand immediate fulfillment, Avill be ex¬ tremely helpful iu the furtherance of education. Thus, after a careful con¬ sideration of the present unusual conditions, Ave have decided that a gift of money Avill be the most serviceable. In leaving, the class of 1932 presents to you this gift Avith our sincerest good Avishes and the hope that it may be a proof of our deep appreciation to the Winchester High School. Leonard Chandler. Salutatory he 3)f(yth of R ashington C7°0 the teachers, parents, and friends who have gathered here this I extend the welcome of the graduating class. We wish at this time to thank you for the opportunities given us in the Winchester High School and we hope that our school will have every success in the years to come. The name of George Washington is especially familiar to us this year, yet the man himself is still overshadowed by the myth of Washington. This legend was consciously created as an example for American youth. Thus Parson Weems once wrote, “Let it be our first care to present the virtues of Washington, in all their lustre, before the admiring eyes of our children.” But the danger in all propaganda lies in overemphasis, since in dulling the interest it defeats its own ends. This weakness is particularly noticeable in the case of this myth, although for many years nothing was done about it. With the approach of the 200th anniversary, however, radical opinion has gone to the other extreme. Instead of overpraising his fine qualities, incredible stories have been published in an effort to prove him even more faulty than the average human being. In themselves these stories are of little importance, but they do introduce a query as to why modern critics are attacking the older interpretation so vigorously. At the outset it can be taken for granted that the myth of Washington has failed in its purpose. Even in the past its moralizing gained little of the desired effect, and in recent years none at all. By this I do not mean that the morals of American youth have deteriorated, but I do know that the “Wash¬ ington stories” are considered rather feeble jokes. This is unfortunate because Washington’s life story could be enjoyed today if the myth had not pushed him further and further into the background. With a somewhat broader viewpoint than in earlier years we can mention certain characteristics which must be present in any interpretation of a great man, if it is to be effective. One of these requirements is a lifelike and human portrayal in which the subject reacts understandingly towards various happen¬ ings. Washington as a boy of fifteen made all his plans for going to sea, but at the last moment he was dissuaded from following this career by his mother’s request that, he stay on land until a little older. In telling this anecdote, how¬ ever, Parson Weems ends with these words, “Instantly the glorious boy sacri¬ ficed inclination to duty.” The two words “instantly” and “glorious” thus sacrifice an effective story to the demands of a moral. Sincerity is another vital element which is often lacking in typical illustra¬ tions from the life of Washington. Prom long training we accept as natural his early virtues, but the reception of his early faults is impossible to believe. Even a truthful child rarely inspires a enlogy from his father, since most fathers expect their sons to tell the truth. If Washington was as faultless as the myth would have us believe, it seems strange that his father was so joyfully surprised at his honesty. Having mentioned these few inconsistencies, it seems fair to condemn the myth for insincerity, a defect which children sense with great quickness. Hard as it is to picture all good qualities in one man, it is even more diffi¬ cult to imagine the dauntless soldier a prig. Yet I ask you what other con¬ clusion can you reach, on learing that Washington “looked at his father with the sweet face of youth brightened by the inexpressible charm of all-conquering truth, and bravely cried out, hatchet’.” I cannot tell a lie, Pa; I did cut it with my Martha Boyden. c lo)ashington 7 the Student ( EORGE WASHINGTON is classified by W. E. Woodward as a thing man O rather than an idea man. To the critical, a thing man might call up a picture of a harsh grasping individual, eternally interested in material ad¬ vantages, a person who thought of the future in a purely mechanical way and denied himself the pleasure of inventing fantastic ingenious plans, alluring, however improbable they might seem. On the other hand, if one has a healthy respect for the tremendous power and ability of the first President, this defini¬ tion of a thing man would mean instead a man who was not an idle dreamer, who was utterly without “the imagination which breeds vice, or the imagina¬ tion which breeds fear;” a man who put his ideas to work, a builder, a a creator, in whom hand and brain moved together. A thing man in its true sense means a man imbued with what Stuart Sherman calls the modern spirit. He writes that this spirit forces one to put all reports to the test of experience and endlessly to seek the best. This definition requires in a man such char¬ acteristics as perseverance, critical ability, industry, and finally courage; traits which even Washington’s severest critics admit to have been dominant in him. Washington is often referred to as an outstanding example of the Southern aristocracy. And so lie was, but unfortunately from this, one forms a mental picture of a charming family group, consisting of the cultured, mild- mannered southern gentleman, his gracious wife and amazingly courteous well-bred children, attended by innumerable, devoted, and obsequious slaves. This ideal family inhabits, of course, an imposing mansion set in the correct plantation surroundings of smooth, wind-rippled fields, rich pastures, and velvety lawns. With this setting in mind one is inclined to disparage the astounding scope of Washington’s learning and to assume that while living a life of leisure and luxury, he had easily acquired this superior education. If we contrast this picture with our own school life it naturally provokes a distinct feeling of envy toward his student days. However, this picture of the environment typical of Washington’s period has been formed most erroneously. For President Coolidge in an address before Congress pointed out that, “The boy might well have grown up with very little education but his eager mind and indomitable will led him to ac¬ quire learning and information despite the handicaps surrounding him.” First, our opinion is too much influenced by the fact that Washington was a member of the aristocracy. The only alternative to defining him as an aristocrat was to include him in the only other class then existing in Virginia, which was made up of an indiscriminate welter of sailors, backwoodsmen, and slaves. Furthermore, although Augustine, George’s father, did own six so-called plantations, they were, in the words of one author, “huge, primitive clearings, pock-marked with holes and spotted with stumps. Wretched roads of ruts and mud led to them. Gangs of indifferent slaves wandered about these clearings and did as little work as they could. The plantation houses were crazy structures of undressed boards.” Washington himself was born in a cottage principally roof and chimney, containing four rooms and an attic. He took the rudimentary steps in educa¬ tion under one Master Hobby, a redeemed prisinor. This convict pedagogue was also a grave digger, and it is probable that his young students suffered from this versatility of trades in their teacher. George endeavored to glean sufficient knowledge in order to go to Eng¬ land to complete his learning, as was the custom of Southern gentlemen. He struggled to obtain this information from such books as the “Young Man’s Companion ' which not only taught him the three R’s, but also gave instruc¬ tion on such vital and enthralling subjects as: how to draw a will, to sail a boat, to make ink or cider, to cure illness, or even to write love letters and poems, if he were so inclined. Washington never had an opportunity in English schools to display is acquaintance with these copious lesson books, for at that crucial point, his father died. Although Washington was admittedly not outstandingly quick to seize an idea, nor was he particularly eloquent in expressing his feelings, never¬ theless he possessed sufficient level-headedness, coolness, and self-possession to size up a situation, make the best possible decision, and adhere to it. After the calamity of his father’s untimely death, lie realized that, since his half- brothers would receive the bulk of the estate, he must discover the means of eking out his mother’s inadequate income. In other words, it was imperative that he become a practical business man who, besides earning a livelihood, would be capable of managing the huge plantation, having a thorough understanding of all the various branches of agriculture practiced thereon, and particularly be proficient in the handling of its financial affairs. With this in view, he carefully transcribed business papers and rows of figures so that his school copy book is described as “presenting items that emphasize the boy’s seriousness of character, his perseverence in acquiring an education that would fit him for playing his part masterfully in the struggle of life.” From this remarkable industry (for which in time he was fully repaid, since he gained a lawyer’s skill in drawing up legal documents, and a mer¬ chant’s exactness in accounting), he must have had moments of relaxation. As evidence of these there are found on the margins of his books some at¬ tempts at art, easily comprehended by the modern student, since they take the form of crude animals and likenesses of fellow students, subjects which are still popular. He was well aware of his weakness in rhetoric and spelling and did not even attempt to unravel the mysteries of Latin or Greek. However, he excelled in„,the various branches of mathematics, and, because of this aptitude, decided upon surveying for a career. His profession could scarcely have been more wisely chosen, since at that time there was an urgent need for surveyors in a country where titles and boundaries elbowed each other in chaotic con¬ fusion. Although he attended the school of the Reverend Mr. Marye long enough to become acquainted with those quaint and familiar Rules of ( ivilify which include such amusing admonitions as “Shew Nothing to your Friend as may affright him,” “Sleep not while others speak,” and “Be not hasty to believe Hying Reports to the Disparagement of any,” his formal schooling, which was certainly of a very primitive character, ended at the age of thirteen. For many of us, tonight brings to a close learning, as we have known it. No longer will it be an obligatory affair with regular daily sessions, home¬ work, and all the other characteristics, pleasurable and otherwise, which we associate with school. Some other interest will subjugate it at least to a secondary place. However, we must continue, in the same way as Washington of whom Paul Leicester Ford says, “fortunately the end of instruction did not by any means end his education.” It is merely a matter of changing the method. For henceforth learning must be almost entirely self-administered. In order to be broadly cultured in its true sense, it is necessary to be well informed on a variety of subjects. Our chances of attaining this objective seem much more favorable when we consider Washington’s beginnings. Obviously we have a much better start than he, who, according to Woodrow Wilson, “struggled as poor boys now struggle, for a meager and imperfect education. If ever there was a self-made man it was George Washington. Through all his later years he was constantly absorbing knowledge from contact with men, from reading Whenever time and facilities permitted, and from a wide cor¬ respondence.” In our admiration for him, we have mistakenly put him on a pedestal, feeling for George Washington and his achievements an almost godlike awe and reverence. However, although he rose far above the average level of mankind, nevertheless it must be remembered that his success was accomplished through his own efforts, and also that George Washington was a mere human being, with the faults and idiosyncrasies common to men. If we follow the example of perhaps the finest citizen that the United States has ever known, it is logical that, starting on an equal if not better footing than he, it is possible for us to become useful and respected citizens. Margaret Nash. °(iWashington, the purveyor V . (DEORGE WASHINGTON did not intend, in tlie beginning to be a surveyor O and it was not until bis father’s death had ended all hope of an English education and his mother-had forbidden him to put to sea, that lie decided to take up the surveying profession. This decision was not with the full approval of his mother who wished that lie might follow a more dignified calling. At the time of his father’s death, George was only eleven years old, yet he was the oldest of the five children of Augustine Washington’s second wife, Mary Ball Washington. His mother was only thirty-five when she became a widow. Many responsibilities were placed upon George’s shoulders. He cour¬ ageously continued to study and to try to learn surveying as well as to manage several farms which were left to the family by his father. After his father’s death, the Washington family lived on the banks of the Rappahannock, near Fredericksburg. On this farm George built himself a small shack which was bis workshop, then bis study, and finally his b edroom. Many long days and nights were spent in this shelter while George was laying out plans of neigh¬ boring corn-fields or perfecting a new method for the accurate measurement of difficult angles. He is credited with having perfected a very delicate use of the vernier for extremely accurate determinings of readings. This perfec¬ tion was of great use to him in later life when lie was surveying in the woods, where an error of a few inches in an angle at the outset might mean a mistake of several hundred feet at the end of ten miles. The principal instruments used at that time were the chain, nothing more than a large tape measure, and the theodolite, which, in those days, consisted merely of a compass mounted in a square box on the corners of which projected, perpendicularly, two wires which were used as sights in the plotting of angles and the following of a straight line for boundaries. At present a theodolite is a telescope, with cross hairs in the eye-piece, mounted on the axis of two circles, one horizontal, the other vertical, which are used to register vertical and horizontal angles. The modern theodolite is very much more accurate than the ancient apparatus of George Washington and is capable of certain things of which eighteenth cen¬ tury surveyors never dreamed, such as the measurement of vertical angles. It is noteworthy that the notebooks kept by the young Washington were very accurate and methodical. At sixteen years of age, George was sent into the wilds of Virginia with a small party, to survey the lands of Lord Fairfax. George obtained this com¬ mission through his eldest half-brother, Lawrence, who was married to Lord Fairfax’s daughter. In the course of the three hard years spent in the woods, many changes came over the boy Washington. His tall, boyish frame took on manly proportions, his muscles hardened for the strife to come. Those years of conditioning in the mountains fitted him to lead his armies through the dense, uncharted passages in the Alleghanies when he was sent on difficult errands at the age of only twenty-two. The excellent health that he built up at this time fitted him to withstand harrowing years leading the Army of the Revolution through such trials as the awful winter at Valley Forge. Without the strong physique that lie attained, he would not have been able to rise to the control of the country in the position of President after strenuous years of work in the position of Commander-in-Chief of the. Continental Armies. During his sorties in the woods on surveys, George became acquainted with the habits, woodcraft, and location of the settlements of the Indians. This A knowledge made him the outstanding general in the country and guided him in the thrilling exploit at Fort Necessity where he was trapped by a band of Indians, forced to erect a fort and withstand a seige before lie could lead his troop to safety. It also gave him that added bit of fame when Braddoek was trapped by the Indians who fought a type of guerrilla warfare and would have annihilated the army of Braddoek had not George Washington been sent to his rescue. In acknowledgement of his accurate work on this first expedi¬ tion, George was granted a surveyor’s certificate by William and Mary Col¬ lege. This slip of paper meant a great deal in the young lad’s life. It was upon the granting of this certificate that he was allowed to enter the service of his government as an official county surveyor. It also meant his first salary which was only 250 pounds a year. Upon the receipt of this certificate George proceeded to the Shenandoah Valley where numerous settlers were in need of a competent and honest sur¬ veyor to settle their land disputes which were caused by squatters and rogues who tried to settle without claims. Washington was granted military au¬ thority that he might punish these scamps who tried to drive out the honest, ambitious settlers. When only twenty-one, George was made district-adjutant of the militia and his career as a soldier commenced. From then on his surveying work was to be a side issue in his great career as a soldier. All through his army work George had need of his surveying knowledge. A good general must be able to read and draw intelligent maps. In this respect George Washington was ably equipped. During the War of the Revolution the armies were hampered by the lack of proper maps. George Washington, recognized as the foremost map-maker of the country, appeared in person before the Continental Congress to impress them with the great need of proper maps. They soon appropriated a sum sufficient to provide for good maps. Aside from the easily recognizable benefits of his surveying work, there appeared certain more hidden, less tangible benefits. These are the develop¬ ment of Washington’s character to that high state of perfection which we respect and revere. An uncanny foresight, as well as a dauntless courage, was developed by constant exposures to dangers in the forests. When one is sur¬ rounded with danger he develops a queer natural anticipation of trouble. When one becomes accustomed to meeting difficult tasks, he develops a cool head and strong determination. Accuracy and honesty resulted from George’s dealings with official records which would show very quickly any inaccuracy or dishonesty. All these noble traits—honesty, accuracy, determination, and courage—will be found, upon the analysis of his later life, to be the guiding lights in the establishment of our country. To sum up the influence of George Washington’s surveying career upon his later life would be to say that from it came, directly, his career as a soldier and ultimately his career as a statesman, the father of our country. The sur¬ veying experiences of George Washington moulded that character which is the goal of every American school—to build up a strong-bodied, desirable citizen who will be able to shoulder his responsibilities and become a leader of his fellow men. William IIickey. c Washington, She Gommander-in-Ghief f7V 0T l° n 8 ' a 8’° a mother and her little daughter stood before the gleaming marble statue of George Washington in the foyer of the Museum of the City of New York. The mother, pointing to the heroic figure seated on horse¬ back, said to her daughter, “Look, dear, there is George Washington!” The child gazed a moment in awe at the statue, then, her interest having tied as quickly as it had come, she asked, “Mother, how did that big piece of marble get taken out of the horse’s side?” After taking in the grandeur and dimensions of the statue, the little girl’s enthusiasm had waned—for, after all, it was but a piece of sculpture— a lifeless thing. Unfortunately, to too many of us who are not children Wash¬ ington is but little better than a carven statue—a monument to his own reputation and glory. It is not entirely our fault. The early historians suc¬ ceeded remarkably in throttling all interest that future generations might have had in Washington as a human being. They painted him as a hero, a god, a demi-god and what not with the result that his image has been admired and revered while the man himself remained unknown. Later writers, seek¬ ing to tear away the shrouds which conceal him from view, went to the other extreme in attempting to “humanize” him by exposing his weaknesses in a glaring light. They failed miserably—but they did almost succeed in reducing the popular understanding of America’s greatest soldier to a minus quantity. Both methods were unfair, the one set him up on a pedestal,—ithe other promptly hurled him down. But happily, between the two sets of historians, there are a few reliable writers that treat of Washington as a man. In perfect sympathy with these authors, and trying in a few brief moments to give you some idea of Wash¬ ington’s duties as Commander-in-Chief of the American armies, I hope that you will think of him as a man and not as “the figure on horseback in the Museum of the City of New York!” In dealing with Washington as a soldier I am fortunate; for as such he is as modern as today. It is an interesting fact, and somewhat of a shock, to find that the organization of Washington’s army and that of the American army of 1914 was practically the same. The internal structure, as to platoons, brigades, divisions, etc., was identical. In the drilling of soldiers General Pershing not only adopted Washington’s methods of training troops for open- field warfare, but proved to the incredulous French officers, who were train¬ ing their men in nothing but trench warfare, that they were the only methods which could be successful in combatting the powerful German forces. I do not mean by this to infer that Washing ton indirectly won the World War, but it is illuminating to note that the methods which the first Commander-in-Chief adopted were so sound in theory and practice that they form the back-bone of the American army to this very day. The obstacles which Washington had to surmount in order to organize an army fit to take the field against the British were tremendous. When he arrived at Boston, the “Continental Army of America” consisted of a motley crowd of farmer-laborers variously armed with implements ranging from shot¬ guns to pitch-forks. Immediately he set to work organizing training camps for the instruction of his soldiers. The men were pains- thoroughly and takingly instructed in the “practical” use of sword and rifle until they were considered sufficiently accomplished in the use of these weapons to engage the more intricate m maneuvers of attack.” It was not until after three years of disheartening retreats and the cruel winter at Valley Forge that the newly- formed army was considered by Washington as sufficiently trained to face any force that Great Britain could put in the field against it. No general had more difficulties and none less co-operation on the part of the Government than had Washington. It is an everlasting tribute to his patience and wisdom that he was able to keep up the morale of an army which was never fully equipped and which at many times was on ' the verge of starvation. It was only by his presence in times of stress and his heroic efforts to relieve his soldiers that the American Revolution did not come to an untimely and disastrous end. An army without proper supplies cannot function. In the Great War, the matters of supply, food, and transportation were left to the care of the newly created Service of Supply, a department operating directly in France thus leaving Pershing free to concentrate on the strategic operations of his troops, whereas Washington himself was held personally responsible for each of these duties! There was no commissariat, no organized War Department or Staff in the early throes of the American Revolution. Moreover, Govern¬ mental aid was so lax and inefficient as to be practically worthless to the Commander-in-Chief. The only thing the Government could agree upon was that it wanted George Washington to be Commander-in-Chief of the Colonial Army. Then, after having appointed him to the supreme command, Congress sat back and waited for General Washington to drive away the British and conclude the war. However, Congress could not remain inactive for long. Although full command of the army was vested in Washington, the members of the higher houses of government attempted to take such matters as the appointment of generals, the administration of the commissariat and the dis¬ tribution of supplies into their own, hands without first consulting The Commander-in-Chief. As a result ' the army was able to continue in the field only because of the great, efforts and heroic personal sacrifices of its Commander-in-Chief in furnishing food and munitions. History has amply proved, as in the later relationship between General Pershing and the War Department, what an unsavory stew a body politic can create when it tries to take into its own hands the administration of a war. Because of the haphazard manner in which the American Government at¬ tended to the supplies of its army in France, General Pershing was forced to cable back to the United States: “Unless supplies are furnished when called for, our armies will cease to operate.” This—in 1918! One hundred and fifty years ago Washington had faced this same situa¬ tion. It was but one of many other harassing disappointments as to the efficiency and co-operation of the government with which he had to struggle. Not for three trying years—not until the exposure of suck traitors as Gates and Lee, second only in command to General Washington himself, both of whom had been appointed to office without the latter’s consent, did Congress consign unquestioning and final authority to Washington for the “conduct of the war as he should see fit.” From then on it was Washington’s war. Throwing off the shackles of envy and invidious jealousy which had hitherto held him bound and helpless, lie led forth an entirely rejuvenated army to face the British in the Spring of 1778. Valley Forge, the dark hour of the American Struggle for Independence, proved to be the brightest spot in American history. Washington had mastered his greatest difficulties. All intrigues, all treacheries, all petty jealousies had been smashed to fragments against the solid rock of his integrity and patience. With the loyal support of a respectful Congress strongly behind him, Wash¬ ington, leading forth his hardened disciplined tioops against the enemj ' , gradually reduced the British armies in America to au utterly powerless body whose authority over the surrounding countryside would have been just as potent had they been stationed on an island off the coast. Two years later at Yorktown, with the timely aid of the powerful French fleet, Washington dealt the death-blow to British authority in the colonies. American independence had been won. A new nation, emerging powerful and free from the throes of revolution, gratefully waited to acclaim and honor its liberator. But he, like Cincinnatus of old, having accomplished the task of setting his country free, had quietly resigned his command to return as a private citizen to his beloved acres at Mount Vernon. So passed from military annals one of the most brilliant and best-loved Commanders that ever lived— as quietly and modestly as he had come. Stanley Osgood. Washington, the (president Cf NTIL the Federal Constitution went into effect in 1789, there had been no national system of taxation, or commerce; no regulation of interstate affairs. Therefore, these great questions had to be faced and settled after the Constitution went into effect. The energies of the new nation were divided between two fields, military and financial. Most of the promising and active young men had left their plantations and business positions to enter the military service. When peace made efforts for private economic recuperation possible, public conditions under the feeble Confederation greatly hampered the recovery. For many years the colonies had enjoyed the protection and privileges of the British Acts of Trade. But the war had dislocated this normal trend of commerce and, as independent states, the colonies were now, under the prevailing mercantile system, cut off from what had previously been their main market. In this critical period, the whole country turned to George Washington as the most experienced and the ablest man. During the eight years of his presidency no serious national question arose in which Washing¬ ton’s convictions and decisions were not called for. He had the opportunity to lay down the principles of such vital questions as public revenue, public debt, the civil and criminal law of the federation, the admission of new states, the treatment of the Indians, the system of taxation, the protection of life and property. Though he vetoed but two bills as President, his influence was felt on every important act of Congress. The first of the vetoes, in 1792, was a bill for the appointment of representatives, because it was not in harmony with the constitutional requirement. The second, at the end of his administra¬ tion, related to the provision for cavalry in the military establishment. Neither bill was passed over his veto. At first, Washington had been strongly opposed to the idea that he should become the first President. Wearied with the war and anxious for private life, he felt strongly the pull of his beautiful estate at Mount Vernon. Also he thought there were other men who could more successfully cement the colonies into a Union and lead the new government in its course of national and international affairs. But when the call of duty was sounded, he realized how much he was needed and bent all his energies to his new task. His election was unanimous. He remains the only President in the history of our country to receive a unanimous election. His journey from Mount Vernon to New York was a triumphal tour. With characteristic modesty and fore¬ sight he wrote at this time, “I walk on untrodden ground, there is scarcely any action, the motive of which may not be subjected to a double interpreta¬ tion; there is scarcely any part of my conduct that may not hereafter be drawn into precedency.” There is a quaint and striking contrast between the special train and automobile used by the Presidents of today and the horse drawn coach in which our first President made his journey. The first inaugura¬ tion of Washington, April 30, 1789, took place on the portico of the New York City Hall of that period. It is interesting to note the appearance of Washington on this occasion. He was dressed in the Colonial costume of the times, wearing a powdered wig, a coat of deep brown, on the buttons of which was the design of an eagle, also a waist coat and knee breeches. He wore white stockings and black dress slippers with wide silver buckles. His only military equipment was a sword worn at his side. Here again we see how customs have changed. Our Presidents of today have no military equipment or insignia. And, though they are surrounded by glittering military uniforms, they themselves wear a cut-away suit and a conventional silk hat. Regular political parties did not develop until after 1793. Some of the states had two-house legislatures. In the new Federal Congress the President was an aid in preventing deadlock ' s. In a few months certain acts for the executive department were passed and Washington began not only to require the written opinions of the principal officers, as permitted by the Constitution, but to hold meetings with them in cabinet, which was the origin of the President’s cabinet. Washington’s cabinet consisted of the Secretary of State —Thomas Jefferson, Attorney-General—Edmund Randolph, Secretary of the Treasury—Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War—Henry Knox, and a Post Office department under Samuel Osgood. Congress voted a salary of $25,000 a year for the President. Through the years, necessities of the office together with changing customs and increasing national wealth have made it advisable for Congress to enlarge this salary, first to $50,000 a year and later to $75,000 as at present. In 1793 two different parties came into existence. Thomas Jefferson, the Secretary of State, was the leader of the Republican Party, in opposition to aristocracy and royalty, and stood for strict construction of the Constitution. It was nearly thirty years later that that party took the name of Democrat. The opposite party had Alexander Hamilton as its leader. Tt represented the financial and commercial interests of the country and stood for liberal con¬ struction of the Constitution. This group was called the Federalist Party, the main principles of which were, years later, taken over by the AVhig Party and still later by the Republican Party, founded in 1854. But for the courage and steadfastness of President Washington the Federal government could not have been successfully organized. It could not have lived through the excitement of the French Revolution. It could not have weathered the storm and maintained neutrality in the midst of the other European Wars of the time. Just as Washington was stepping into the presi¬ dency, the appalling French Revolution broke out. The Revolutionary leaders did their best to draw the United States into war with England. The out¬ break of other European hostilities brought Washington face to face with the issue of neutrality. France claimed special international privileges under the Treaty of Alliance of 1778. President Washington took the safe and reason¬ able ground that the United States was the ally of no other nation. A similar ha opening; of more recent date and with which we are quite familiar, was the World War. At the beginning of this great struggle, President Wilson tried to maintain neutrality even in the face of great opposition. In defense of his position he brought out the point that Washington had established a policy of strict neutrality in all European entanglements. This policy has been adhered to until recent times. Washington expressed his foreign policy as follows: “My policy has been and will continue to be—to be upon friendly terms with but independent of all nations of the earth; to share in the broils of none; to fulfill our own engage¬ ments: to supply the wants and be carrier for them all. ' ’ When the United States was considering the prospect of entering the World Court, those opposed to it brought up Washington’s warning that the United States should keep out of all foreign alliances. Thus is Washington’s influence still felt today and will continue on into the future. After remaining for one year in New York, the seat of the national govern¬ ment was moved by Congress to Philadelphia where it remained for ten years, while the present site was being prepared in the wilds between Maryland and Virginia. The beautiful city of Washington is one of America’s tributes to her first President. That government is progressive and the main trend of human affairs is upward is the belief of most people. Our own history offers frequent examples. Whereas today, and since the close of the Civil War, no internal dissent has called for more drastic action than the presence of a few companies of State Militia, as for instance the Haymarket Riot in Chicago, in 1886, and the more recent coal strikes in West Virginia and Pennsylvania ; each time this caused a great “hue and cry” from the people who were ready to see steady de¬ terioration and ultimate downfall of the government. Such things could not have happened in the good old days! It should be remembered, however, that in 1794, when trouble arose over the excise tax in the so-called Whiskey Rebellion, President Washington, to maintain our sovereignty, had to call out the government army, and even marched with it a part of the way. Every administration has had its troubles, even that of our first President. When General Washington became President of the young Republic which he had brought into being, he decided to make a complete tour of the entire territory of the United States. In the autumn of his first year, he started this plan by visiting New England. Throughout this journey, he carefully studied the development of the different sections, the homes in which the people lived, their cultivated farms, woodlands, and opportunities for commercial develop¬ ment, roads and bridges, together with their spirit of loyalty to the newly formed Republic. He returned with a great fund of much needed information about conditions of the common people who must become the sinews of this newly formed government. The results of this knowledge are seen in his first messages to Congress and in the light of such knowledge were his government policies shaped. In these days when the whole world is so closely knit by telegraph, ocean cables, and airways; when, during their terms of office, President Taft went to the Canal Zone, President Wilson, to Europe, President Harding, to Alaska, President Coolidge, to Cuba, and, after his election, but before his inaugura¬ tion, President Hoover went to South America, it may seem strange that a journey of many days was necessary to learn of conditions and needs in regions but a few hundred miles away. But let us remember that Washington had not even good roads, not to mention the railroad, the telegraph and tele¬ phone, the airplane, the radio, and even the ever present daily paper. Par more than his military genius, it was Washington’s character, his knowledge of the common people and his genius for government that made of him the man we now call Father of his Country, and whose name is, for all Americans, a household word. Virginia Fancte, Maledictory •O-—• Mtashington, the SY(an Q TRANGELY enough, we, as a people, know little of t-lie true man whose labors laid the foundation of our nation and whose policies guided its con¬ struction. After severing the bonds which held the thirteen colonies to Eng¬ land, he created among them a union of strength to withstand the strain of civil war, yet the character which controlled these abilities has remained un¬ noticed. This total disregard has been either the cause, or the result of Washington’s being raided to the position of a veritable demigod. It would be hard to determine whether it was the desire of our people a century ago for an idol, or their failure to perceive, behind his towering abilities as a general and statesman, the human qualities, which make him a man. It re¬ mains, however, that when we came to renounce the fictitious tales handed down to us, Ave found nothing to take their place. And it has been left to extensive study and research to bring forth a truer, more complete, and, most of all, a greater Washington. The fact that we have little definite information is, perhaps, the best in¬ dication of the real man, for it at once distinguishes him as retiring, thought¬ ful, and modest. Upon escaping unscathed from the thick of battle, after an incident similar to one which caused a great general to feel he was destined to accomplish great deeds, Washington simply remarked that it was “beyond all human probability and expectation.” Washington’s friends have also been considered both as reflecting his character and as, in youth, an influence in moulding it, for he was not created a perfect man. There is a gradual de¬ velopment wrought by the outside forces of environment and associations, and a constant increase in self-mastery. Besides his being naturally reserved, there is scarcely a single element in this extraordinary character, which does not appear to have been in some way affected by his living, during his youth, in Virginia and the wilds of the Ohio Valley. One of the most difficult tasks Washington set himself to accomplish was the taming of his violent temper. Guarded with vigilance from youth, it be¬ came accustomed to lie dormant, insensible to slight provocation. Yet it was only sleeping. Goaded and proded by the taunts of political opponents, its wild unbounded spirit returned. It awoke and broke loose to be con¬ trolled by no man. In a despatch from Green Meadows, Washington wrote, “I heard the bullets whistle, and, believe me, there is something charming in the sound.” While the King of England declared that it showed him little acquainted with battle, the letter was censured by no one more harshly than by its author. By scorning it in later years as the folly of youth, Washington reveals another struggle for self-control. Love of action, a desire to be in the thick of the fighting, threatened to conquer wisdom and reason. That to call him hot¬ headed would be our last charge, only points out his complete conquest of himself. Yet to his last battle, war held an indefinable fascination for him, which drew his mind from all thoughts of personal safety and held him close to his men and the scene of action. Proficiency in riding and hunting, acquired under the instruction of Law¬ rence Washington in Virginia, though always a source of great pleasure to George, cannot be said to have had the strong influence of the frontier life in supplementing an arbitrary temper and reckless courage with a cool, cal¬ culating mind. The demands of his exacting profession, coupled with those of the wilderness, instilled self-reliance, confidence in his abilities, but, at the same time, a realization of their bounds. Whether as Lord Fairfax’s surveyor, or as the leader of an expedition to the French outposts in the Ohio Valley, Washington observed and learned. If overcome, he accepted defeat and be¬ came the wiser for it. Thus always he recognized his limits and his ignorance as compared with what might be learned. So especially in later life, when Washington, before leaving for the Constitutional Convention to determine a form of government for the states, spent several weeks studying the various alliances and republics of antiquity, we see humility and overbearing intellect in one man. These, however, represent but one side of Washington. They are the qualities which placed the United States among the nations of the world, which called forth eulogies from the four corners of the earth. Upon the stone brought from China for his monument at the Capitol his name is linked with those of the heroes of the East. Frederick the Great of Germany sent him his portrait bearing the words, “From the oldest general in the world to the greatest. ” Likewise, we, ourselves forget that the warrior and the statesman hid a Virginia gentleman who enjoyed hunting and fishing, who took pleasure in tending his crops, and whose sense of duty alone could draw him from the quiet life of the plantation. Because the human fallacies and homely qualities, which in Lincoln endeared him to the people, were in Wash¬ ington unobserved under the stern exterior of the man in public life, we have, perhaps, felt that even had we been able, we wouldn’t have wanted to hold his place. There seemed to be no pleasure in his life, only rigid dignity, un¬ relaxing. No man, however, has ever lived a fuller life. At Mount Vernon, he often went fox-hunting twice a week. That he seldom made a catch was of little consequence for the sport alone satisfied at once his liking for horses, dogs and guns. Duck shooting was also popular. Fishing, however, ranked next to fox-hunting among the sports. In his diary, Washington often men¬ tions spending a whole day or the evening fishing. Referring to a trip to Portsmouth, he writes, “having lines, we proceeded to the Fishing Banks a little without the Harbour, and fished for Cod; but it not being a proper time of tide, we only caught two with which, about ten o’clock we returned to Town.” As a planter he was one of the first to try the rotation of crops to prevent the soil’s becoming exhausted. He also conducted other experi¬ ments with his crops which he carefully described. Washington’s sense of humor very seldom expressed itself in writing. To remind us of it, there are only a few paragraphs such as this contained in a letter to his brother, “As I have heard, since my arrival at this place, a circumstantial account of my death and dying speech, I take this early op¬ portunity of contradicting the first, and of assuring you that I have not as yet composed the latter.” Again writing home from the frontier, he says, “You may thank my friends for the letters I have received from thenn, which, tell them, has not been one from any mortal since I left Fairfax, ex¬ cept yourself and Mr. Dalton. It is a specimen of their regard and kindness which I should endeavor to acknowledge and thank them for, was I able and suffered to write.” Washington, too, was subject to procrastination in his private corres¬ pondence. He explains that each day he determined to attend to his writing after sunset and each evening he saw no reason why the next day would not suit his purpose as well. And so days become weeks and weeks, months. Washington was also inclined to place reading second to playing cards or fox-hunting. To be thus acquainted with the true Washington is to increase, rather than to lessen, our admiration for him. We are better fitted to appreciate the gifts of the man who devoted his talents impersonally to his country, who realized that preparedness is the strongest preventative of war and held his tiny army together to insure our securing our demands in the treaty of peace. Mount Vernon offered rest after six years of war, yet he preferred to remain and endure the hardships of his soldiers, that he might bring to a noble conclusion the task he had undertaken. Again, when chosen President, he left the quiet of his home to serve his country once more. In yiew of such unfailing devotion to an ideal should we wonder that he has been raised above his fellow men? Yet when we picture him sleeping with the frontiersmen on the floors of their cabins before the fire, he becomes human. When we find him struggling to give his stepson a liberal education and distressed to discover Jacky Curtis’ mind turned to dogs, horses, and guns more than ever after his return from school, he becomes one of us. However, we can but believe that this boy aspired to his father’s greatness as a man and as a servant of his fellow countrymen, for Washington was then as he ever must be the inspiration and the ideal of the youth of our nation.

What a system! In spite of all we made a good name for ourselves. During the fall of ’29 the boys formed the first freshman football team ever, in the high school. This team was undefeated. Then in the winter the the boy’s basketball team walked off with the honors in the interclass series. As for the scholastic side we had a large number on the honor roll. Who could ask for more? Last year we really joined the ranks of the school since we came in the morning. AVe had three representatives on the varsity football team and one on the varsity field hockey team. That year the girls began to shine. Th ey won their numerals for inter-class hockey. It was from our numbers that the prize-winning theme for the AV. C. T. U. contest was chosen. Something which had never before been attempted was the editing of a class paper, the “Sophomore Side-lights”, which was written and printed by the pupils under the direction of Mr. Hayward. This project was received with much en¬ thusiasm by the rest of the school. Thus we pass to this, our third year of High School, which has been a busy one to be sure. More than half the cast of the Class Play this year came from the class of ’33. This play was put on in excellent style and was con¬ sidered the best of recent years. The big event of the year was our Prom which was carried through under the leadership of Priscilla Chamberlin, chair¬ man of the Prom Committee. Special mention should be given to Virginia Besse for excellent work in decorating the hall. Now, with great expectations for next year we have come to the close of another year. AA T e consider ourselves fortunate in being able to have the benefit of the new addition next year and we hope that we shall be able to prove ourselves fully worthy of this advantage. SOPHOMORE CLASS 3-Cistory of the Sophomore Glass •—O ' —• Q IIE activities of the class of ’34 during its two years in high school have been many and varied. A few of the highlights of our freshman year were a debating club organized by students with Mr. Graves as director, victory in class basketball, and riding breeches and tennis sock revolts, which we regret to say were unsuccessful. We started out this year by electing officers who are as follows: Floyd Tremberth . President Virginia Shaw . Vice-President Clara Horn . Secretary Thomas Hannon . Treasurer This year both our boys and girls basketball teams were beaten. However, there are an enviable number of Sophomores on the various squads, particu¬ larly in the girls sports. Forty-two per cent of the class are A. A. members for the winter season. We are lo9 strong this year and of I his number 27 are honor students. This is third highest in tile school. We are very glad to have graduated and enjoy our more recognized title. from the state of “ Freshmanism” MARJORIE DUTCH. Might 1 suggest that the person to write the history be chosen at the first of the year so that he could really keep track of the doings from the first. It would be easier 1 think. M. II. D. FRESHMAN CLASS 3-fistoru of the Gfreshman Glass PON entering High School in September 1931, as the class of 1935, we found that we would have to attend the afternoon session, following the footsteps of the two previous classes. By the time we had accustomed our¬ selves to this, we were confronted with the problem of electing class officers which resulted as follows : President . Richard Elliott Vice-President . Lawrence Bairstow Secretary . Robert Howe Treasurer . Robert Thornton Being deprived of playing on any of the varsity teams, we insisted on having our athletic activities. The football season progressed with great suc¬ cess, and, although a definite captain was not decided upon the boys won their numerals by their good work. The girls had two hockey teams, the “Red” and the “White”; captained by Priscilla Danforth, and Natalie Stevens, respectively. During the basketball season the boys’ team, which was uncaptained, and the girls’ team, whose captain was Gladys Moulton, took part in the interclass competition which was held each night after classes. Our girls were victorious over the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior teams, therefore winning their numerals. As a class, we are actually increasing in intellectuality, even amid the numerous escapades and our Freshman class has enjoyed a most interesting year.

Roberta Healey The Dramatic Society was not able to put on two plays this year because of construction work on the high school. Nevertheless, it expects to give two hundred dollars, which has been earned by the Society during the last four years toward equipment for the stage in the new assembly hall. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Atheletic Association —a— ' CJIESPl TE the fact that the A. A. was under rather a strain, due to the hard times, it has had a fairly successful year. An appreciable amount of money was collected this year at all the home football games, due to the good work of the ticket sellers who were striving for the Winchester Banner, which was the prize. The Fall membership was about the same as in previous years, with three-fourths of the school enrolled. At the banquet at the close of the season the Wheeler-Mansfield Cups were awarded to Carolyn Abbott and Dexter Mobbs. Under the able direction of John Johnson, the Publicity Committee kept the school and the town well posted on the coming social and athletic events. Because of lack of support, the Social Committee under the leadership of Henry Fitts was not able to give a Fall Sports Dance, but the Fall Banquet with Mr. Graves as toastmaster was a great success. A great number of varsity and second team letters were awarded during the year, and the classes of ’32 and ’35 won their numerals. The officers for the year were: William Hickey, ’32, President David Fitts, ’33, Secretary Carolyn Abbott, ’32, Vice-President Josephine Smith, ’32, Treasurer THRIFT ASSOCIATION thrift dissociation Thrift Association has now become a fixed institution in the Win¬ chester High School, and everybody seems to realize its worth. This has been the third year that the entire school has banked. During the year we have had a splendid record—for our name has been at the head of the list of percentages for all schools in the town every time except once. The Senior rooms, 13 and 24, have reached the 100% mark during the entire year, and room 13 has never been below during all the years of banking. Our lowest percentage has been 95.5%, while the highest percentage has been 99.47%. In each room the pupils do the banking every Tuesday morning. In most rooms there is one receiving and a cashier, but in some rooms there are two or more. The officers for the year 1931-32. Constance Sylvester, President. Arria Glidden, Secretary.

ORCHESTRA c lo)inchester Orchestra — a HE High School Orchestra meets every Tuesday morning during the bank ¬ ing period under the able direction of Mr. Solmenski, leader for the past two years. The orchestra has done exceedingly well this year considering the handicaps it has had to face. The Freshmen, who have attended rehearsals faithfully, have had to come out of school time as their session does not begin until one fifteen o ' clock. Because of the new construction work being done in the old assembly hall, the orchestra has been deprived of its usual meeting place and has had to rehearse in the Town Hall since the first of April. Even through all this the co-operation has been excellent- with a large number at¬ tending each rehearsal. The orchestra has played at various entertainments. The Parent-Teacher meetings; the Legion Play; and will play for the graduation in June. The members are as follows: Violins Martha Johnson Betty Erickson Marjorie Dutch Judson Cross Jane Roop Michael Connally Priscilla Danforth Robert Sevene Margaret Millican Banjo Richard Oft ' ett French Horn Dorothy Glidden Trumpet Henry Fitts Charles Dolloff Albert Haskell Edward Brown Jacob Chitel Gladys Moulton Saxaphone Charles Main Sargent Hill Piano Samuel Main Virginia Danforth Ester Koll Clarinet Harry Miley Charles Butler Charles Main Trombone Robert Dotten David Wadsworth Drums William Me Gann TRAFFIC SQUAD traffic Squad Faculty Director, Mr. Butters SENIOR SQUAD Chief, Dexter Mobbs Lieutenants Leonard B.

Regardless of the fact that Winchester lost “Eddie” Hichborn, Frank Procopio, and “Bill” Hickey, the team had the splendid record of 3 wins, 3 ties, and 3 losses. Of the large number of candidates who reported last fall very few could offer experience. Coach Lindemann, however, ably assisted by “Jake” Turner, put the boys to the grindstone and after constant repetitions, both good and bad, placed a light, but fighting team on the field. To Coach Lindemann, Assistant Coach Turner, and Captain Joseph Flaherty goes the credit for Winchester’s success. It was their unceasing efforts to instil] in the team the knowledge and the art of football, that put the fighting spirit into them. The first game, which unfortunately we lost, was a league game with Stoneham. The score was 12 to 0. The following week a game was played against Concord, and in spite of the thick dust on the field Winchester gave a splendid exhibition of football and won the game 7 to 0. On Columbus Day came the Arlington game. A scoreless tie resulted with Winchester on the offensive the greater part of the game. This game was, by the way, the first game played in the new Arlington Stadium and the formal dedication, which was carried off with a flourish by many speakers and the presence of the Arlington High Band. Winchester’s fourth game which was with Lexington ended in a win for the locals by a score of 6 to 0. A score that showed Winchester’s mettle against a more worthy opponent. The fifth game with Wakefield resulted in a rather glorious defeat to the tune of 27 to 6. Winchester was the first team to score on the Wakefield boys. A heart-rending game was played against Belmont, October 31st, when Winchester, although the under-dog, held this hefty team to a scoreless tie. Our second league defeat was with Maynard and proved to be a thriller ending 7 to 6 in Maynard’s favor, Maynard scoring the winning goal in the final minute of play. After a thorough weeding out by the Faculty of all deficient players in studies and the return of Procopio, Winchester journeyed to Saugus and promptly defeated them 6 to 0. On the morning of the turkey’s Waterloo a crowd of silent yet eager spectators arrived at Manchester Field to witness a battle between two old rivals, Winchester and Woburn. For four full quarters the ball see-sawed from one end of the field to the other, neither team scoring. At the close of the fourth period both teams returned to school, neither exactly bouyant, but both finding some satisfaction in not being beaten. With the departure of these boys went the football season of 1931 in Winchester High, and with all the wins, ties, and losses, goes the epilogue, “ A successful team under a successful coach means a successfully reputed school.” The following boys received their varsity letters: Captain Joseph Flaherty, Captain-Elect Hal Knowlton, Joseph McKee, Daniel Daly, Dexter Mobbs, Andrew DiApella, Andrew Lentini, John Bottgar, Charles Dolan, Paschal Tofuri, William Mills, John Lynch, Anthony Ciruso, and Henry Murray, Manager. C VlIE cross country team coached by Alfred “Mickey” Meurling went through an undefeated season. They became State champions in Class B by winning first place in the Harvard Interscholastic Cross Country Meet held at the Harvard Stadium. They also won the Mystic Valley Meet held at Wakefield. This is the second year that the Winchester harriers have won this League. This sport is becoming more and more popular and each year more can¬ didates are coming out. Next year ought to be a great year for the local hill and dalers, because Captain Francis Corby and Roger Pettingell are the only letter men to graduate this year. The home course is run through the Middlesex Fells for two and one-half miles with the start and the finish on the Parkway in front of the High School. Just before the Fall Sports Banquet the letter men met and elected Albert Lynch, a budding Marathoner, Captain for next year. The letter men are Captain Francis Corby, Captain-Elect Albert Lynch, Richard Pettingell, Roger Pettingell, Andrew Lynch, Thomas McPartlin, Judson Cross, Patsy Maffeo, Robert Pain, and Charles Main, Manager. The scores of the meets are as follows: (lowest score wins) Win. Opp. Arlington at Arlington 15 52 Beverly at Winchester 22 36 Woburn at Winchester 17 50 Braintree at Winchester 19 56 Somerville at Winchester 20 39 Mystic Valley Meet at Wakefield Winchester 38 Beverly 49 Stoneham 105 Wakefield 108 Woburn 114 Harvard Interscholastic Meet Winchester scored 83 points to win. CftDlIlL E the Winchester High School dicl not win the championship of the Middlesex Basketball League this season it made a tine showing, winning 10 out of 14 games. Captain Dexter Mobbs was the only veteran to return to school and Coach Lindemann had to develop a team from the inexperienced candidates. After dropping the first game to a strong Alumni team and the first league game to Wakefield they defeated Belmont, Lexington and Woburn (2) by good scores. They lost a close game to Stoneham through over-confidence, but from then on they played winning basketball. Reading, Belmont, Milton, Wakefield. Lexington, and Stoneham fell before the onslaught. The Wakefield game was played before a large crowd and proved to be a thriller, with each team play¬ ing its best basketball. Winchester came through with a 20 to 19 win to go into a tie for first place with Wakefield. The outcome of the last game, with Reading was to decide whether Win¬ chester should be in a tie with Wakefield for first place. Friday night, Feb¬ ruary 19, found Reading playing its best basketball of the season and upset the applecart by winning 17 to 11. The team was composed of Captain Dexter Mobbs, Sheldon Hamilton, Charles Dolan, Hal Knowlton, Fred Philbrick, Fred Noble, and Paschal Tofuri, Manager. Prospects look bright for next year when we recall that the second team did not drop a single league game and was defeated only twice all year, both times by Woburn. This scrappy team was composed of William Seaver, Francis Tremberth, Lawrence Stewart, Walter Burns, Patsy Matf ' eo, Robert Farnham, Andrew Lentine, and Arthur Farrar, Manager. The team of 1931 wishes the future teams good luck and many victories in the new gymnasium.

Our resolutions to “win this game, gang” were knocked down one by one as the games went by, and our winning side simply refused to come to the fore. Last year’s athletes parted with one game to their favor, hut this year we have really won that title, the only ‘ ‘ un-undefeated ” team in W. H. S. history. Maybe we did have practices few and far between, and a not large attendance at that, but something must have been lacking. We did have a lot of spirit and fight in the games, and we even had a very close time in our first Melrose game, managing to scare them not a little. Next year, with a new gym, let’s hope the team practices so diligently and plays so cleverly, that our record will be made up for many time;S in steady victory! BASEBALL TEAM, 1932 JPARLY in April about thirty-five candidates reported to Coach Lindemann for the baseball team. Captain William Sullivan, Daniel Daly, and Paschal Tofuri were the only letter men to report. Other promising candidates were: Hammond, Lentini, McKee, Di- Appella, Hannon, Dolan, Mobbs, Knowlton, MacDonald, DiMambro, and Stewart. When Coach Lindemann gets together a working combination Winchester will enjoy a successful season. Anthony Ciruso has been appointed manager. He is ably assisted by Gerald Howard and Charles Benson. DOACH Centervall was confronted this year with the discouraging problem of only two veterans and a green squad of 84 candidates. This squad was kept in training for over a week in anticipation of the cut for Varsity. After careful consideration the squad was cut to 36. With this material Miss Centervall started out to make the best of it. Our first game was at Arlington, only for practice, but very important to the girls, although Arlington is no longer in our league. We were defeated 2 - 0 . We played our first game in the new Interscholastic League on our own field with Winthrop, ending in a 1-1 deadlock, E. Sharon scoring for us in the last two minutes of play. We defeated Watertown in a practice game here 3-0. The goals we re scored by E. Sharon, V. Besse and E. Hanlon, and we lost our league game with Swampscott, 2-1. The game was closely contested throughout, being deadlocked at half time with one goal each. It was felt by our team that Ave would have won if Ave had buckled doAvn, as our opponents Avere not con¬ sidered better than aa t c, and Ave certainly found it a mighty hard job to smile and congratulate them after our defeat. It Avas at the Wellesley game that Ave started out with a bang! Shinnick scored the first goal. Unnoticed to us “Jo” Fowle Avas painfully hurt during a hotly contested scrimmage in front of the local sticks and two goals were thrust by her. We played a scoreless game Avith the Alumnae on Armistice Day morning and Ave were defeated by Brookline at a practice game there, 3-2. Our Concord game turned out to be another scoreless tie and we played Lexington on our field starting with almost the entire second team. Up to this time the second team had not been scored upon but a goal was scored by Lexington shortly after the opening whistle was blown. Our last game was played at Melrose. It was very close during the first half but Melrose proved to be the better team. Shinnick and Coined scored for Winchester. We were defeated 3-2 and this ended our season. ‘Marj” Dolben, ‘Aggie Shinnick and Captain “Barb” Shaw were sent to Newton for the All Boston Tryouts. Cuts were made after three tryouts and Winchester was not represented on the Honorary Team, as it has been for the last three years. Next fall the captain is to be chosen after the third game so we cannot wish her luck, instead we’ll just say to the whole squad—“Fight hard, keep your spirit up and you’ll come out on the top.” “You’ve got plenty of good material, Miss Centervall. AYe’ll be watching the papers!” TRACK TEAM z BOUT forty candidates reported to Coach Meurling for track this Spring. Sheldon Hamilton and Kenneth Campbell are the two veterans from last year and are promising to do great things on the track this year. “Eddie” Hiehborn, the one-man track team, was elected captain last year but his failure to return to school left the team without a leader. A captain will be elected later in the season. The most promising candidates thus far are: Campbell E. Matthews Cross Murray Lynch Mills Cooper Barksdale I Tamilton II. Matthews Corby Randlett Burns McGrath Noble Haskell Charles Dolloff, the manager, is assisted by Russell Tompkins. 7 J C ?HE Tennis Team of 1932 pr Winchester tennis teams. omises to live up to the precedent set by former Captain Henry Pitts, Roger Pettingell, Sterling MacDonald, and Albert Cutter are the survivors of last year’s champion team.
