There where the long street roars hath been The stillness of the central seas. Alfred Lord Tennyson She History of the Glass of 1934 oc 0 N a very warm day in the late fall of 1930 a gangling army of Freshmen stormed the hill overlooking the mighty Aberjona and took possession of Winchester High School. Due to the crowded condition of the school we had to have our training in the afternoon, while the three upper classes had the morning session. For our headquarters we picked rooms 35, 22, and 21. For commanding officers we picked Robert Godfrey for General, Robert Nason as his assistant, Juclson Cross as Secretary, and George Davidson to take care of our high finances. Although we had many promising athletes, they were unable to contribute to the varsity teams because of the afternoon session. After two months’ leave of absence we returned in the fall of 1931, 159 strong, still the infant class in the morning session. That year we were again fortunate in picking such leaders as: President, Floyd Tremberth; Vice President, Virginia Shaw; Secretary, Clara Horn; Treasurer, Thomas Hannon. AVe were able to contribute to sports and the following letters were awarded to the Sophomore class: Football 1, Track 2, Baseball 2, and Basketball 1. During the year a debating club was formed under the leadership of Mr. Graves. A riding-breeches revolt started in the school but was unsuccessful. At the end of the year we had 27 honor students. All year there had been an awful din around us. They w ' ere tearing down our fortress but they had agreed to rebuild it with a new assembly hall, lunch room, gymnasium, and study halls. The next year we had advanced another year towards our goal. As soon as we settled down in our revised home, we chose our Junior of¬ ficers. William McGaragle, President; Virginia Shaw, A T ice President; John Thornton, Secretary; George Davidson, Treasurer. Many Juniors added their talent to the Dramatic Society. In the Junior- Senior class play, “Captain Applejack,” coached by Miss Bailey, four Juniors had major parts, while three others had smaller roles, This year we dedicated our new gym by having the Harvard varsity basket¬ ball team play here. Later we had the Springfield gymnastic team give an exhibition. On the first of April, the Athletic Association put on a Vaudeville show in the assembly hall. During the year we supplied Mr. Mansfield with two men for Football, four men for Basketball, six men for Baseball, two for Tennis, and one for Track. A great mnay girls made the grade on the Field Hockey and Basketball teams. The Junior-Senior proms were combined and were successfully arranged by Floyd Tremberth who was head of the Junior prom committee. With the words SENIORS vacation. ringing in our ears we started on a two months’ Seniors! that one word tells us that the battle is nearly won. With such leaders as Albert 0. Wilson, President; Virginia Shaw, Vice President; Ken¬ neth Smith, Secretary; and Michael Connolly, Treasurer, the battle will surely result in a victory after four years of hard fighting This year Captain Andrew Lentine led his troop of Football men to the Middlesex League championship, while Dominic Provinzano led his squadron of Basketball men to the co-championsip of the same league. Again we witnessed the Springfield gym team and the second vaudeville show sponsored by the Athletic Association. The school promoted a very interesting school paper called, “The High¬ lights.” The Junior-Senior class play “Laff That Off,” coached by Mr. Hines, was very well presented with many Seniors starring. Because of insufficient support no Senior prom was held this year. Well, the battle of books is over, and those here to-night have been victorious. To-night you celebrate, but remember the war is not won until the final battle is fought and this is only the beginning. Some of you will join in another battle of books in higher institutions of learning. Others have the big¬ gest battle of all to fight, the battle for success in the world. Let us celebrate to-night and go into the next battle with a will to win and be as victorious as this last one has been. Lloyd G. Scott Glass (prophecy •So® o°HE development of Robert Foley’s and Frank Murphy’s “Bigger and Better Harem Society” on the West coast has made rapid progress in the last few years. Andrew Lentine and Fish Holland have been heard making violent threats directed at one another concerning the management of the 1940 boys’ Parlor Rugby and folk dancing squads.

Glass Oration ° £)o( o £y)LATO, in his “Republic” describes that ideal state in which every citizen a possesses plenty of leisure, and uses it for his benefit and that of his common¬ wealth. Without a doubt, when one reads this book, he does not suspect that its idealism might become a reality, but in recent years we have been confronted with the problem of what to do with our spare time. The happy goal that the Utopians have been anticipating is near at hand. What shall we do with it? Leisure when not intelligently employed can be destructive. It is not possible to outline a solution for everyone, but one is able to offer suggestions that may be developed in different ways for the benefit of the in¬ dividual. The will to work is the most essential instrument. And yet, leisure may be employed by golf, dancing, tennis, baseball and other such athletic ac¬ tivities, but athletics do not engross everyone. Each individual has his own honest interest. Yet, nearly everyone is able to find something he likes to do, and can do well, that in turn will do something for him. Some folk learn to weave, etch, to knit, to work in leather, and even some are able to employ their cellars to raise humble mushrooms. When anything is constructed, the quality of the maker invariably goes into it also. We seem to become a part of the articles we fashion. Thus you may come to know a man by his work. Then, too, let the good that is in you express itself, and what you are able to accom¬ plish, you can teach another. Knowledge is not a thing to be hoarded, it is really only useful when shared. The joy of giving, you know, is deeper than the joy of acquiring. Crafts are not the only means by which the man of new leisure can apply himself. The arts offer a wider and more difficult field yet they can not come too highly recommended. One of the finest arts there is is to live well. A well patterned intellect is surely a desirable objective, but in order to meet the demand necessary we must learn from information. True, one does not expect a person to be well-schooled in every art, but he should at least have some fundamental of the fine arts. The Radio of today presents a large field in these arts. We should learn to cultivate our knowledge so as to be able to derive some benefit or appreciation, and appreciation does not mean dumb wonderment. It means understanding, and to understand one must study. Music, for instance, should be a means by which one is able to derive enjoy¬ ment and at the same time profit by the story expressed. Musicians, like art¬ ists, have a definite theme in mind when they write music. One should be able to deal understanding with their subjects. Civilized man’s finest pos¬ session is an acute and luminous intelligence, cultured and artistic, and quick and truthful in interpretation. The N. R. A. is a godsend to millions of our American people, if they would only take advantage of the opportunities of¬ fered by the greater leisure which is at their disposal. The free time before us offers a golden chance whereby men and women are able to inform them¬ selves and at the same time help their fellow men. Helping your fellow men is indissolubly bound up with you as an individual. Their good and especially their bad is responsible for your prosperity in living. The answers, therefore, to the problem of our new leisure are work and study. Work and study to improve, not only thyself, but thy neighbor. The man who helps anyone to a better place is helping himself and all humanity. And there is no time like the present for no one knows what the future will bring forth. No one should think that there is no place of need for him or nothing that he can accomplish. Much awaits to be done. In all fields, there are problems that are in need of a solution. Use your leisure in any productive channel which you may see fit, but be sure to use it. George Davidson COMMUNISM IN RUSSIAN SCHOOLS ROB ABLY one of the most deep-rooted institutions in America is the public J school system. A school was almost the first demand in any pioneer settle¬ ment in this country, and has always remained an integral part of the commu¬ nity. Although our country has passed through wars and disasters, the Amer¬ ican public school has always continued steadily in its mission—to enable the youth of the land to live a richer, more enlightened, and more useful life. We, who have always seen schools working for these ideals in spite of any political change, find it difficult to realize that in such countries as Russia, Germany, and Italy, the public schools have undergone a drastic change, merely because the reins of government have passed into new hands. A change of administration in this country does not affect the public schools in the slightest. Even an event of such momentous importance to us as the American Revolution had no effect on our schools, yet in the European countries mentioned before, a new premier has meant casting aside almost entirely the old ideas of education. This evening, we shall endeavor to show you how this has been done even though it must be in a very superficial way. Russia is perhaps the country where the change in school principles, be¬ cause of a change in government is the most marked. The schools, under the czarist regime were conducted with a great deal of pomp, splendor, and dignity, as was everything connected with the government. They were in large, well lighted, airy buildings, and taught by men of great intellect and ability. These men mingled in the best society, and took great pride in their personal appear¬ ance, wearing brilliant uniforms, as did all officers of the government. If they wore beards, they kept them immaculately trimmed; if shaven, they did not allow their faces to become overgrown with hair. They were rigid discipli¬ narians, and thoroughly competent instructors. The Russian high-school, or gymnasium as it was called, ranked with the best, anywhere in Europe. As the tuition in these gymnasia and universities was very high, only the children of the nobility, merchant, and wealthy peasant classes could attend. Besides rigid examinations, there was a residence test, which was an inspection of the applicant’s home to determine the social standing of the family. Very often families would borrow furniture of one another to make a better impres¬ sion. When the student was admitted, he was required to wear an expensive uni¬ form, and pay for many costly incidentals. The higher schools did not hide the fact that they desired only the wealthy. The poor nobility were sometimes given financial aid, but the poor peasant children were allowed in elementary schools only, and here learned just enough to make citizens loyal to the czar. The courses of these gymnasia and universities were purely classical. Work of any kind, whether mental or manual, was considered degrading by the no¬ bility. Moreover, as most of the boys would become officers in the army after graduation, military drill played an important part. It was considered im¬ proper for girls to have a higher education, therefore there was no such thing as a girls’ college. The Russian school of today presents an entirely different picture. The government wishes to impress on its youth—its future citizens—the ideals of Communism and equality from their earliest years. Although these communist schools are for the most part held in the same buildings as czarist schools, the grandeur and splendor has been allowed to decay. The teachers are men from the factories, who, because of great proficiency in a certain line of work, have been appointed by the officials of that section to teach this trade to the young. These men are mostly peasants, who are very slovenly in appearance. Most of them were brought up under the czarist regime, and consequently have little education. However, they know their work, and are thorough in their teaching. The pupils likewise are from the lower classes. A child from the former nobility is refused a public school training. The children of manual workers are given the first opportunity for an education. Until recently, 1931, the children of the intelligentsia, even those of teachers and technicians working for the government, were denied the right of a public school education until the quota of peasantry had been filled. The schools are directly connected with the farms and factories. Whereas in America we train people for industry; in Russia, education and industry are made one process, so far as possible. The school is supported and run by the factory workers. This contact is the direct outcome of the political and so¬ cial structure of the new Soviet Republic. It wishes to wipe away the common distinction between manual and brain work. Thus, such a thing as a liberal arts or classical education is unknown in Russia today. Instead, the greatest emphasis is laid upon learning a trade. Pupils under fourteen have practice work with tools supplied by the factory, under the direction of workers from the factory. Pupils over fourteen are given part time work in the factory. They are thereby rid of any distinction between theory and practice. The range of subjects taught in these Russian schools is decidedly limited, due, in part, to lack of teachers. Reading, writing, arithmetic, and history are taught rather superficially, merely enough to enable the worker to do his job accurately and to make him a good Communist. In industrial subjects, however, the text books are very up-to-date. Since ideas in Russia are always changing, a text book would become hopelessly out of date within a year. To overcome this obstacle, a monthly magazine, The Journal Text-Book, much like the supplements to encyclopediae, is published to keep the existing books abreast with the times. As propaganda comes under the board of education, the new plans of the Russian government are taught in the schools, so that when the students are old enough to become citizens, they will be in sympathy with the government. The whole system of Soviet education exists merely to make the people factory workers and Communists. In fact, the officials admit that “the aim of Soviet education is the practical and theo retical study of the social role of labor.” Those who have done well in the schools may go on to the universities, which are also supported by the government. At first, all the universities were polytechnical; but, as there is a great need for highly trained specialties, these have been changed to monotechnical schools in everything but name. Many new universities which specialize in a certain subject have been built in the centers where this type of work is most needed. Although poorly housed, they have the best of equipment. Like the schools, they are entirely coeducational. These colleges are impregnated with Communism, because many of the students will become future teachers in the schools. This Communistic propa¬ ganda is used with great effect in the school work. Students are urged to work longer hours, to sacrifice vacations voluntarily, and to acquire more knowledge for the good of the masses. Instead of athletic competition, there is academic competition. This rivalry is encouraged between colleges, between classes, be¬ tween present classes and former classes. Athletics are encouraged only as a means of recreating the body and resting the brain. A student is promoted or not, according to the opinion of his professors and fellow students. There are no examinations of any sort, for, even in technical lines, stress is placed on the practical rather than the theoretical. After graduation, the student is eagerly seized for a technical or pedagogic position. Throughout the entire school system, the Soviets are stressing Communism and a practical trade above all other things. They want the students to return home and fire their villages with Communism, for the majority of the people have not been sympathetic towards it. In this purpose they have succeeded, for much of the progress Russia has made has been due to the enthusiastic loy¬ alty of her youth to Communistic ideals. But this type of education has left the people drab and dull, with no initi¬ ative. There is not a piece of modern Russian literature which is worthwhile, for the only theme must be Communism. This is true, not only of books but of movies, and plays, for any other theme would be suppressed. The officials, however, are just now beginning to see the truth of the statement made by Lenin many years ago, that “you can become a good Communist only when you en¬ rich your mind with all the intellectual treasures humanity has attained.” They are beginning to introduce subjects into the schools which will make the pupil ' s later life worthwhile to him, as well as to the government. George Welsch, Jr. T T has become a custom as well as a pleasure for the graduating classes to give some gift to the school as an expression of their deep-felt thanks and appre¬ ciation for all the school has done for them. As there is no spotlight of any kind in the auditorium and as one would be used in all school plays, vaudeville shows, and other performances, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-four wishes to show its gratitude by leaving with the school such a lamp for the auditorium. May it be of great service to the school and a lasting memorial of our class. A. 0. Wilson. (Nazi (propaganda In dShe (jerman Schools T ' nEUTSCHLAND— erwacht! Germany—awake! Wake! This is the fav- orite slogan of the National Socialist Party of Germany. Awake! The cry is short, stirring, powerful. But—awake to what? To the principle of nation¬ alism as upheld by this party with Hitler at its head. The Nazis, as they are better known, have been in power since March, 1933. On the twenty-fourth of that month, parliament granted Hitler, as chancellor, the right of dictatorship without the Weimar constitution, that of the republic which had just failed, and without any parliamentary government—this for four years. Hitler and his party are making the most of their time. They are not only busy putting their ideas into effect, but are also using violent propaganda to convince the nation of their good sense. Chief among these ideas is the su¬ periority of the Germans. The German nation is sufficient unto itself; it should throw off the chains forged by the allies at the end of the war; it should have no fear; it should develop the arts which are peculiarly its own; Germany must be for the advantage of Germans alone. These new ideals and the party which fosters them should concern and disturb us. Germany is one of the pivotal countries of Europe; and the state of affairs in Germany makes a decided difference in the state of world affairs. The stronger hold the ruling German party has on the people, the more cause we have for fear. The present party is daily gaining more power by its use of propaganda, especially in the schools. There, young minds must be steeped in the party principles. If Germany is to be purely Germanic and powerfully iso¬ lated, the coming generation must have full confidence in the nationalization movement. Minister of the Interior is Dr. Frick. It is he who has established the “guiding ideas” by which education is to be managed. No one can predict how far he will go in transforming the schools into Nazi training camps. Dr. Frick’s purpose is to make education for personal achievement unpa¬ triotic ; but education for the service of the state, glorious. According to him, the old plan favored class differences, widened the chasm between the various branches of learning, taught subjects of no earthly value, and nourished no ideas of social responsibility or leadership. However, the new way, his way, trains the pupils to obedience and responsibility. They study for the welfare of all,—all Germans. Thus, all those who naturally would care little for the supremacy of Ger¬ many are discouraged from the schools. There is a law that the percentage of non-Germans in any school must not exceed the percentage in that city. One is non-German if one of the parents or grandparents was non-Gennan. This applies to every school, public, or private, elementary, or higher. Can you im¬ agine any government refusing a child even the rudiments of learning? Like¬ wise, all teachers must be German with German ideals. The national normal school is frankly Hitlerite, with all the students in the brown shirt uniform. These future teachers are the “storm troop leaders of German national educa¬ tion.” All present teachers keep their jobs only as long as they side with Hit¬ ler. An interesting- point in the new teaching program is that every pupil will pass. If he is slow, the teachers will merely spend more time with him. This is in keeping with the idea of study for the state. The Nazi principles are drilled into the children even when they are too young to realize it. This has its amusing side. At an educational conference, a radical Hitlerite seriously suggested that, in the story of “Hansel and Gretel,” the witch be a Frenchwoman, and that in “Little Red Riding Hood” the wolf be a Jew in disguise. The text-books for the older children are being revised, and new ones are being written. These books, however, will not appear before next spring. Dr. Frick plans that the leading studies shall be History, Geography, and Physical Training. The physical training is stressed, for one of the Nazi ten commandments is—‘ ‘ Strike a rogue more than once! When one takes awa y your good rights, remember that you can only fight against him physically.” Thus Hitler hopes to restore Germany’s military power. Geography teaches the importance of the German state. The pupils first study the homeland. Trips are managed by the government, and the ones a- broad may be taken only by those who have journeyed through the fatherland. In addition, an exchange is arranged whereby the pupils from one section may visit and study in another. In spite of all this, history is the most emphasized subject. Henry Ford said, “History is bunk.” The Nazis say, “History is most useful bunk.” It is the perfect medium for the expression of their ideals. Prehistory stresses the idea of one common origin for the Germans. With the dawn of history, the migration of Germans, so the new histories will tell us, brought about the su¬ premacy of—first Near Asia, then Greece, then Rome. These books will like¬ wise devote a great deal of space to proving the superiority of the Hitler re¬ gime over all other governmental forms. When the pupil finishes this emphatically Nazi course, he has little chance of going to a university. Hitler believes that manual work is no less dignified than intellectual. Moreover, a dependable group of labourers would greatly strengthen the party’s power. Out of the many who are prepared to attend the universities, only a limited number will be permitted to do so. Not more than one tenth of these will be women. The qualifications for entry are in¬ tellectual and physical fitness, character, and what Hitler calls “national re¬ liability.” An effort will be made to fit the non-professional men and women into suitable positions. However, before that, the secondary school graduates are given one last educational benefit. The boys are offered six months of volun¬ tary labour with expenses paid by the government. They divide their time be¬ tween government projects and military training. It is obvious that the Nazi government cares more for the state than for the units, the people, which compose it. All education is for the benefit of the nation as a whole. The question to my mind is this: is the state going to be worth the support of all the citizens when that individualism which made the state more than a machine is crushed ? Margaret Ekern. Maledictory POLITICS IN EDUCATION ° =-J0GS 0 CINCE the World War, changes have been taking place in rapid succession in our country; we have had the greatest prosperity and the greatest eco¬ nomic depression in our history. But events have moved much faster in Europe. Governments have been overthrown and principles have been reversed. You have seen how the Russian revolution has affected education there, how the aim of its teaching has been drastically changed from that of a disinterested culture to an emphasis on mass industrialism. In Germany, too, the change is distinct¬ ly marked; one from cultural and general training, laying stress on the personal phase, to one that subordinates the individual to the state. The schools have become centers where every subject is colored with the glory of national theory. The leaders of these countries realize that they can work most effectively through those who will be citizens ten years hence. But this spirit is not limited to Germ any and Russia. There are others: for instance, Italy. The Italian is naturally hardworking and thrifty. The government which preceded the Fascist rule did nothing to support these char¬ acteristics and thus aroused distrust. Fascism has backed up these traits and has given the peasant a feeling of security. The Italian also has a keen sense of drama and hero-worship. Fascism has catered to that also. It has combined these two principles and based its educational system upon them. It makes the national state a hero and, although it promises personal liberty, this liberty is contingent upon the policies of the state. The young Italians are given a knowl¬ edge of the fine Italian art, the glories of the early Romans, and the patriotism of the later greats of Italy. Thus the child is taught to appreciate Italian his¬ tory and, by adopting unconsciously the theory that Italy is the great nation of the future that deserves more than its sons can give to it, the government insures an obedient, patriotic citizenry ready for tomorrow. Japan, too, is yielding to revolutionary tendencies which are reflected in her highly standardized school system. If the young Japanese is planning to enter the commercial world, he first spends six years in the lower school. Then, if he is successful in an extremely competitive examination, he goes on to four or five years in the middle school. This training is followed by another exam¬ ination which is taken by two thousand students and by means of which ex¬ amination, two hundred are accepted for three years training in the higher school. If the boy is going to college, and the number of such students is com¬ paratively small, he goes through the same procedure except for a different and more complicated higher school. As in Germany, all the students wear a semi¬ military uniform to inspire the feeling of equality and national patriotism. If, then, a student goes on through college or commercial school he is anywhere from twenty-two to twenty-five years old when he graduates. The successive list of examinations has beaten down all the individualism he may have had and he readily conforms to the state policies. Thus Japan has placed state above citizen in her newer plan of education. Her change of education system has been extreme, so extreme that the position of the teacher and student has been reversed, the student practically acting as director. Thus, under the extraordinary conditions that followed the World War, a complete overturn of educational policies has taken place in many countries. Culture has yielded to a standardization of the masses and the schools have been painted red with propaganda. Although the United States has changed since the war this change has been to a comparatively slight degree. We have not needed a decided change, for our educational practice has already arrived at the point that the Russians are aim¬ ing at. We have accomplished in one hundred years what Russia expects to do in ten years. Way back in the early part of the nineteenth century, our public schools came into fairly general use. AVhen we established them, we made no slashing changes from the systems found in European countries at that time. We developed the public school system, but we adopted the classical subjects, such as Latin and Greek, from the continental schools. Our ideas changed very little in the pre-Civil War days, but the war called for manufacturing and pro¬ duction on a large scale. This started “Big Business” and ever since there have been numerous millionaires made from paupers by our industrial system. The great possibilities of this industrialism have loomed large in the mind of almost every American boy and therefore he has made a strong and persistent demand for a technical education. For this reason our schools have specialized in this type of training to the result that we have become the world’s greatest industrial country. The revolutionary European countries, seeing what industrial success we have had with our policies of education, are patterning their systems after ours, but they are trying to make their nation like ours almost over night and are paying no attention to the period of gradual growth through which we have passed. In doing this they have brought on a violent upheaval. One feature is a compulsory group of subjects which are seeped with governmental propaganda. They reason that if they can instill the proper spirit into the minds of the com¬ ing citizens, they will become successful. As a necessary preliminary they are educating their children because they will sooner or later return that education to do good for the state. Our policy is quite the contrary. We have reached the stage where we provide education for the blessing and benefit of the in¬ dividual. One child may have a very delicate sense of painting but cannot read, whereas another may like to experiment with test tubes and chemicals but may abhor history and therefore flunk a course in it. Realizing this condition, our system provides a wide choice of subjects or courses covering the entire field — classical, technical, mechanical, artistic, and commercial. Through this method we made individual development our goal. We believe that every-, one is talented to some degree in some line and aim to help each to attain suc¬ cess and happiness according to his own mental aptitude and ability. Albert 0. Wilson A MESSAGE FROM THE SENIORS TO THE LOWER CLASSES JT is always with a tinge of sadness that the members of a graduating class leave their school. We sincerely hope that as our under classmates grow older they will realize more fully the fact that our happiest days are spent right where we are now complaining of the drudgery of schoolwork. But in this schoolwork we have also found a wealth of friendship, and advice, not only from our classmates but also from our teachers. If we can impress you with this fact, we can leave our beloved high school with the feeling that we have accomplished something and left behind something that is worth while and will endure. WINCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY WINCHESTER, MASS. history of the ffunior Glass ° =Do(3=5o President . Ewart Bairstow Vice-President . Thomas Aldrich Secretary . Evelyn Corey Treasurer . Walter Josephson Not knowing precisely how to deal with the problem of writing the history of the Junior class, the editor of this article read several histories in past Aber- jonas, in an effort to discover just how to go about it. The result of this research was far from helpful. Apparently someone had to write the first class history once, so he went ahead in his own way, and was imitated in years hence by many of the other bewildered secretaries. It is high time to blaze a new trail in the history of class histories. Therefore: In the first place, we entered these stately halls of learning with courageous and unfaltering steps. We weren’t “merely Freshies,” meek and fearful. The town had realized our evident rank, and provided for us, as a proper back¬ ground, a grand new addition to the building. It was a gracious compliment to our worth, and we accepted it with quiet dignity. From then on we have forged right ahead and have made our influence felt everywhere. We have had a good showing in both boys’ and girls’ sports and various dramatic presentations of the season. We guarantee that we shall con¬ tinue, as the senior class, to be leaders from next September to June, when we shall forever quit these friendly corridors. Evelyn Corey history of the Sophomore Glass In September 1932, the class of 1936 entered the Winchester High School, and since that time has proved itself capable of worthwhile things. Its major accomplishments during the first year were as follows: The class won the prize for selling the most tickets to the Springfield Gymnastic Ex¬ hibition, the girls’ class tennis team won the inter-class tournament, and Frank Provinzano, a freshman, played on both the varsity basketball and baseball teams. On returning to school for the second year, the following officers were electe_d: President . John Scully Vice-President . Gertrude Harwood Secretary . Fred McCormack Treasurer . Katherine Gilbert The second year was more active than the first. Many members of the class won varsity awards. The boys’ class basketball team won the inter-class tournament. The Treasurer of the Athletic Association, Kirby Thwing, was a sophomore; and many other members of the class took part in other school ac¬ tivities such as the Dramatic Society, the Thrift Association, the Science Club, and the Traffic Squad. Already this class has created an enviable record in school spirit and par¬ ticipation in school activities, and has an earnest desire to make Winchester High School proud of it. Fred McCormack Shis ton of the GFreshman Glass js=-)or=?o John Downs . President Patrick Gardner . Vice-President Dorothy Bruno . Secretary Norman Thornton . Treasurer As the class of ’37, we have conquered the depression and have come through with flying colors. Ward Albro, Fred Croto, Robert Lynch, and Ralph Manning won their letters last fall on the cross-country team, and Rob¬ ert Lynch is captain-elect for next year’s squad. Richard Marsters and John Downs were also on the squad, while George Manning was on the track team. William Smith and Robert Hushen were on the baseball squad, and Ed¬ mund Olson and Kenneth Powers were assistant managers. Joe Cimina won his football letter on the second team and Addison Garner was a candidate for man¬ ager. The Freshman boys’ basketball team was second in the inter-class tourna¬ ment, captained by Arthur Bowler and coached by Mr. Mansfield. Other players were William Smith, Joe Cimina, Edward Manzie, Herbert Wood, and substitutes Richard Sexton, Lucius Smith, John Downs, Raymond Bancroft, and John Elliott. In the Freshman girls’ tennis tournament Dorothy Bruno, Mary Alice Mason, Dorothy Fitts, and Martha Kimball were in the semi-finals. John Downs was in the play entitled “Three Live Ghosts.” Lucius Smith, John Lobingier, and Elbridge Davis were reporters on the Highlights staff.

This delay was due to a change in the banking system. The new method has been very satisfactory and more ac¬ curate than the former method. In the new bank books the carbon paper is at¬ tached. In case of a mistake the book does not have to be sent to the bank but, instead of this, the bank notifies the home room representative, who, in turn makes the necessary correction. This does not involve so much “red tape” as did £he former system. The Thrift Association has maintained a slightly higher percentage than last year and five rooms, namely: rooms 12, 13, 14, 23 and 26, have kept 100 percent throughout the year, whereas, last year, only four rooms had such an enviable record. Room 12 deserves special mention since it has had 100 per¬ cent ever since banking was first introduced into the school. Several rooms nearly attained perfect records. The comparison of the lowest and highest per¬ cents of last year with this year also indicate improvement in this year’s record. Last year 94.8 percent was the lowest and 98.5 percent was the highest. This year 96.09 percent was the lowest, and 99.8 percent has been the highest. The High School as usual led the other schools with an average percent of 97.8. The average amount banked each week has been $20.00 The officers for 1933-1934 were: President . David Brinkmann Vice-President . Virginia Smith Secretary . Brenda Skene Ass’t. Secretary . Esther Loftus Faculty Advisor . Mrs. Stacy c (s Iie £ ' Highlights � SoQ J N this its second year the Highlights blossomed forth with regular news¬ paper type and set-up. The first page was devoted to news with a two column headline. On the second page were the double-column editorials and the editor ' s column. The third page was for sports, and the last was dedicated to personals and continuations. Tlie features were many and varied. Several team pictures were printed. A series of interviews with members of the Highlights staff appeared. Sam Mur¬ phy’s weekly Winchell act proved a big sensation. A beauty contest was man¬ aged with votes enclosed in six successive issues. The winners, Natalie Stevens and “Moose” Capone, made a personal appearance at the A. A. vaudeville show in early April. A writing contest was sponsored, but the announcement of prize winners was made too late to appear here. The paper was greatly aided by its advisers. Mr. Hayward worked hard as news adviser. Mr. Graves proved invaluable in the business department, while Mr. Keeney officiated on the editorial staff. Margaret Ekern was editor-in-chief. Marjorie Dutch served as the head of the editorial staff. The sports editors were Ruth Rennert and Albert Gaum. As long as the personals department was maintained separately, Evelyn Corey was in charge. Dorothy Glidden was art editor. Betty Gilbert managed the news department. Gertrude Harwood, a sophomore, did excellent work as beauty contest editor. Robert Howe was business manager. Barbara Ekern took charge of the exchanges. The whole year was characterized by the friendly co-operation of the writ¬ ers and by the betterment of the sales record. May the Highlights continue to grow as it has this year! JUNIOR RED CROSS President . George Davidson Vice President . John Scully Secretary . Priscilla Danfortli Treasurer .

A box containing ten articles was sent to a Winchester girl in the Rutland Sanitarium. January — More than 600 magazines w r ere collected for the Seamen’s Friend Society. Also a box of, valentines was sent to the Children’s Hospital of Boston. February — The president and faculty adviser attended the Regional Con¬ ference at the Hotel Statler. Each spoke briefly. March — A drive for playing cards to be sent to the Veterans’ Hospital was the project for March. Also an assembly under the auspices of the Junior Red Cross was considered. April -— The drive for playing cards was extended. May—The girls of the sewing classes will complete 50 bags. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Athletic dissociation HE Athletic Association, under the able leadership of Miss Loysen, Coach Mansfield and the Executive Committee, has completed a very creditable year as regards to finances, social events and general promotion of athletic in¬ terest. The Varsity Football team of ? 34 is to be congratulated on its great success in finishing the season at the top of the Middlesex League. Two A. A. rallies as well as two dances were held, and many class numerals and first and second team varsity letters were received at the award assembly. The Fall Term was climaxed by an enthusiastic Sports banquet, with Mr. Hayward as toastmaster and several outside speakers. The “ Wheeler-Mansfield ’’ Cups were awarded to Betty Gilbert and Andrew Lentine. During the Winter Term the A. A. again had the fortune of being able to p resent the Springfield Gym team to an appreciative audience. The boys on the basketball team were co-champion players. Two dances were held, and a novel¬ ty basketball game was featured, Faculty vs. Students. The Vaudeville Show this Spring was a great success, both in its interesting presentation and finan¬ cial results. The Athletic Association owes its successful season to the able interest of Robert Godfrey, President; Betty Gilbert, Vice-President; Virginia Shaw, Secretary, and Kirby Tliwing, Treasurer. DRAMATIC SOCIETY EXEC UTIVE COMMIT TEE Robert Barr, President Eugenia Smith, Vice-President Dorothy Glidden, Secretary Miss Marion Bailey, Faculty Advisor C X OR the first time in the history of the Winchester High School Dramatic Society, the membership exceeded one hundred and all dues were paid by November 1. The major production this year was a three act comedy entitled “Three Live Ghosts” which was very successful both from the standpoint of dramatics and of finances. The cast included the following: Robert Gotten, Robert Barr, George Davidson, Lester Gustin, David Wadsworth, Virginia Hull, Elaine Groves, Eugenia Smith, Betty Dissel, John Waite, John Downes, and Lowell Bowler. A new idea was carried out in the form of a “Stunt Show” which contained eleven acts and was staged on March 23 before the rest of the society. The group producing the best act in the opinion of the judges was awarded tickets to a theatre in Boston. Two other fine acts were incorporated into the A. A. Vaudeville Show which came on April 6. At this show we experimented with a spotlight which we considered purchasing, but other items seemed of more im¬ portance at the time. The last project of the year was in the form of a story hour and tea to which the faculty as well as the members of the society were invited. THE ORCHESTRA She Orchestra d y R. Slominsky has been succeeded by Miss Tennant as orchestra director. Miss Tennant knows music well and is an accomplished player. With what material she has next year will be a banner year for the orchestra. The orhcestra has made only one appearance outside of its Tuesday morning meetings. Science Qlub G HE Science Club which budded in ’33 under the direction of Mr. burst into full bloom this year. Officers were elected as follows: Albert Grosvenor . President Robert Sevene . Vice-President Myrl Orcutt . Secretary Esther Loftus . Treasurer Alley Those who served on the executive board were: R. Sevene, chairman, M. Orcutt, secretary, A. Grosvenor, E. Loftus, E. Smith, J. Twombly, J. Dineen, L. Bowler, J. Collins, and J. Edwards. Many entertaining as well as instructive meetings were held at which vari¬ ous members showed their skill in performing unusual experiments. The club voted to present a prize of $5.00 or its equivalent to the member considered to have contributed the most to the club. Much credit is due to the executive board which planned each meeting, and arranged for several interesting trips. Among these was a trip to “Nobles” where generous samples of milk and ice cream were enjoyed. The club visited the Champion Lamp Company in Lynn and became enlightened on the subject of lamp bulbs. During the winter many members attended the popular science lectures at M. I. T. At a special meeting Dr. Tozier of Harvard gave an illus¬ trated talk on natural science. Next the club set sail for a visit to Boston Navy Yard, after which they boarded the new stream line train “Burlington Zephyr” at South Station. It is natural to wind up any successful enterprise with “Let’s eat” so as their final trip the club visited the warehouses of the First National Food Stores. The members are as follows: L. Baghdoyan S. Baghdoyan B. Batson K. Benson J. Blaisdell A. Bowler L. Bowler W. Burtt J. Collins E. Corey P. Cornwall J. Cross J. Dineen B. Dissel R. Dutton J. Edwards R. Elliott B. Gilbert A.

The team brought to the school its first Middlesex League Championship since entering the newly formed circuit. With but very little veteran material available Coach Mansfield molded his team around Captain Andy Lentine, star center and one of the greatest athletes ever turned out at Winchester High. The team opened its season with a 6 to 0 win over Saugus, the only score coming on an 85 yard touchdown run by Frank Provinzano. The following week the team journeyed to Arlington to meet a heavier and more powerful eleven. Without the services of their captain, the locals went down to defeat 18 to 0. The first game of the league schedule proved to be one of the most thrill¬ ing with Maynard edging out a 12 to 6 win. This game was forfeited to Win¬ chester later because of the ineligibility of one of the Maynard players. Going to Stoneham a week later the Red and Black really showed what they could do by winning 20 to 6. Concord came to town a week later and set back the locals 7 to 6. This was the last defeat Winchester received. At this stage of the season Winchester hit its stride turning back a highly favored Lexington team 6 to 0. This game however, was a costly one for the Winchester team as Dave Grosvernor, in a great attempt to score on a long run suffered a broken right arm on being tackled by the Lexington safety man. The next game was a non-league tilt with Wellesley, Winchester coming out on the long end of a 20 to 0 score. The game that was to decide the championship found Winchester entertain¬ ing Belmont. After four periods of the hardest of football the Winchester eleven came out victorious 12 to 6. Thanksgiving Day Woburn, Co-champs of the Mystic Valley League, came to Winchester. Scoring on a long pass from the fingers of Tom Hannon to the outstretched arms of rangy Joe Josephson the Winhcester boys completely out¬ played the ancient rival, winning 6 to 0. It is estimated that 10,000 spectators crowded onto Manchester Field to witness this game, one of the most thrilling in many years. The following boys received gold footballs and varsity letters: Capt. An¬ drew Lentine, Co-Captains Gerard Gaffney and John Hanlon, Thomas Hannon, Frank Provinzano, William Murray, Floyd Trembertli, Robert Murphy, An¬ drew Capone, Dexter Leroy, Lorimer Walker, Kirby Thwing, Robert Godfrey, Walter Josephson, Ewart Bairstow, William Haggerty, Giddeo Fillipone, Al¬ bert O. Wilson and Manager Kenneth Smith. . BASKETBALL TEAM boys ' basketball C INCHESTER High School’s basketball team opened a very successful season by defeating a strong Alumni team composed of many of Win¬ chester High School’s former star athletes. The high school team was captained by Dominic Provinzano, a high scoring forward. Soon after the Alumni game, the student body, as well as the basket¬ ball squad, received unexpected news to the effect that Captain Provinzano would be unable to play basketball for the remainder of the season upon advice of his physician. This smart and aggressive team, capably coached by Wendell D. Mansfield, opened its Middlesex League schedule by defeating its five rivals in the league during the first half of a strenuous schedule. During the last half of its league encounters, Winchester lost two hard fought games, one to Belmont and one to Wakefield, the team that Winchester now shares the Co-Championship, both teams winning 8 out of 10 league games. Due to a ruling in the Middlesex League Constitution, this tie was not played off. During the course of the season, Winchester lost a hard fought contest at Milton and later two games to a strong team from Woburn, thereby closing the season with a total of 9 out of 14 games won. This team was managed by Gerald Howard, assisted by John Doherty, who was chosen manager for the 1935 season. Frank Provinzano, star sophomore athlete and brother of this year’s cap¬ tain, was elected captain for the season of 1935. The following boys received varsity awards: Capt. Dominic Provinzano Manager Gerald Howard Milton 33 Wakefield 2(5 Reading 11 Belmont 19 Stoneham 10 Woburn 21 Lexington 24 Capt. Elect Frank Provinzano Fred Noble Thomas Hannon Walter Rose Lawrence Stewart James Callahan John Hanlon Winchester 26 Alumni 19 Winchester 28 Winchester 29 Wakefield 28 Winchester 20 Winchester 19 Belmont 16 Winchester 24 Winchester 26 Stoneham 16 Winchester 16 Winchester 22 Reading 7 Winchester 51 Winchester 15 Woburn 27 Winchester 12 Winchester 34 Lexington 10 Winchester 32 TRACK SQUAD 9 rack E outstanding feature of this year’s track team was not in the per¬ formance of the team itself but more in that of the team’s captain, Jud Cross. Jud was undefeated all year, despite the fact that he ran both the Mile and Half Mile. In the Harvard Interscholastics, he won the class C Half Mile run and, in doing so, missed the record by one fifth of a second. In every meet this year he has proven himself to be one of the greatest track captains Winchester has ever had. The team, as a whole, had only a fair season. It defeated Wellesley, came in second in the Middlesex Meet, but lost to Wakefield, Lexington, Bel¬ mont and Woburn. The Lexington Meet was very close, Winchester losing by only four points. The Woburn Meet was also close, with the Broad jump deciding the outcome. Both of these Meets could have, with a little luck, been won by the local team. The team is also going to Fitchburg where it is entered in the Relay Carnival. Winchester was third in its class last year and should make a good showing this year. The team is losing several good men this year through graduation. Head¬ ing the list, of course, is Captain Cross, Dave Wadsworth, a sure placer in the 440 yard dash; Bill Murray, who has bowed to only two men in the shot put; Lloyd Scott, the best High Jumper Winchester has had for the last couple of years; and A1 Wilson, one of the hardest working men on the squad. Gerry Gaffney, Limey Matthews, Larry Bairstow and A1 Gaum are under¬ classmen who are rec eiving letters and who will form the nucleus for next year’s team. Ewey Bairstow, Bob Graham, Dick Glendon, Ralph Manning, Pat Gardner, Roger Downes and Dexter Derby are others who will con¬ stitute the next year’s team. HE Cross Country team led by Captain Jud Cross, who is also Captain J of the track team, had a very successful season. With Capt. Cross the only veteran returning, Coach Richard Murphy soon molded a team that won every dual meet it entered. In the Middlesex League meet held at Wakefield it finished third. The letter men of this year’s team are: Capt. Jud Cross, Capt.-Elect Robert Lynch, a freshmen; Fred Croto, Richard Manning, Michael Connolly, John Downs, and Ward Albro. BASEBALL SQUAD Baseball o ' ?= io r=z,o Q HIS year’s baseball interest ' has been years. team lias enjoyed a fairly successful season. Greater displayed in this real American game than in many With five veterans returning it looked as though another championship team was to be turned out at Winchester High this year but the new inex¬ perienced material did not come along as good as was expected. However, next year this situation will be taken care of as Coach Mansfield also ran a second team schedule this year to give the new-comers the needed experience. Red Noble captained this year’s nine and was one of the outstanding players of the league. The other members of the team were: Frank Provin- zano, Catcher; George Davidson, Left Field; Tom Donaghy, Shortstop; Joe Dineen, Second Base; Slicky Coss, First Base; Red Noble, Law rence Stewart. Bus Kendrick, Pitchers; Andrew Capone, Center Field; Albert MacDonald, Right Field, and Sam Murphy, Third Base.

Thomas Donaghy has been elected captain of next year’s team. TENNIS TEAM IIE 1934 Boys’ Tennis Team will probably be the last one to play in the Suburban Tennis League, for next year it is dropping out. The rea¬ son for this is easily seen by the scores of this year’s League matches. The only teams which furnished competition were Melrose, who is also dropping out of the League and Watertown, who will be weakened next year by the loss of nearly all of tis good players. The team feels that it will gain by having matches with stronger schools. The team had no stars on it but was made up of steady, reliable players. Number one position was jointly shared by Lorimer Walker and John Scully, each playing six matches in that position. Little Joe Josephson was the big surprise of the year. He astonished everybody by gaining number three post with nothing more than an ability to return most shots.

The prize was awarded to one of the players from a private school. Following is the schedule: Winchester lost to Newton 3—2 Winchester won from Lexington 5—0 Winchester won from Brookline 5—0 Winchester won from Concord 5—0 Winchester won from Watertown 4—1 Winchester vs. Arlington Winchester vs. Belmont Next year who are graduating varsity team is this June. to be without three of the best players, FIELD HOCKEY TEAM G ?ield ( 3Kockey «SoC3 (RESPITE the fact that Winchester High’s standing in the Interscholastic League was a tie for third place with Stoneham and Melrose, the season was very good. The girls won six games, dropped two, and tied four; the league games resulted in two wins, one loss, and three ties. Winchester was credited with excellent stick work and defensive record. The first game of the season we played Melrose to win 5 to 0, but when we met them later in the league game it resulted in a scoreless tie. Concord and Winthrop were also ties; Sw ' ampscott and Belmont bowed to us; and Arlington beat us 2 to 1. This year’s team was captained by Betty Gilbert, and managed by Brenda Skene. At wings were Dorothy Waters and June Pettingell; inners were Cap¬ tain Gilbert, Sylvia Hatch; center forward, Dorothy Glidden; halfbacks, Gene MacDonald, Barbara Berry, and Betty Emery; fullbacks, Virginia Shaw and Gretchen Cleaves; goal, Peggy Kenerson. Of these Berry, MacDonald, Gli dden, and Cleaves are the only first team members not to graduate; but this year’s un¬ beaten second team will be available next vear. 4xf v BASKETBALL TEAM (jiris’ Basketball LTHOUGH the girls were not champions and not always victorious, en¬ thusiasm ran high throughout the 1934 Basketball season. About oue hundred and eighty girls appeared for tryouts from which class teams and the varsity were chosen. Every girl was on either the first, second, or third team of her class and participated in the tournaments that followed. Our first varsity game was on January 12. We went to Melrose only to be subdued by the score of 22 to 7. In the games that followed with Arlington and Watertown we were left far behind, their scores being in most cases double that of ours. However, our spirits were not dampened and when, on March 2nd, Melrose returned our game we gave them our best and were victorious by the score of 24 to their 17. The varsity closed its season in a spirited game with the Alumni, Winchester High being the victors. In the inter-school class games this year, Winchester played two schools, Melrose and Reading. The seniors were the only ones to be victorious in both events; the juniors were beaten both times; and the sophomores won one and lost one. Like last year, varsity members were not able to play in these games. Girls receiving first team letters this year were Dorothy Glidden, captain, Harriet Cooper, Betty Emery, Natalie Stevens, Pauline Rollo, Betty Blake, Bar¬ bara Berry, Gretchen (’leaves, and Priscilla Danforth, manager. CjirW Spring Athletic (program ENNIS once again leads the fine Girls’ Spring Athletic Program for en¬ thusiasm, with baseball and track following close behind. Archery, something new in W. H. S., is a possibility too and a truly exciting one, providing that equipment is able to be procured at a 1934 price level. But to get back to tennis, in the annual April vacation tournament “Sil” Hatch, Ruth Aseltine, Mary Boyden and Dot Waters led the play in this respective order with “Sil” wear¬ ing the winning colors. Thus the varsity at this early date in the season, ac¬ cording to ability, are as follows: Sylvia Hatch, Ruth Aseltine, Mary Boyden, Dorothy Waters, Ruth Cutter, Philippa Kelley, Katharine Gilbert, Frances Kelley, Janet Spencer and Ruth Bernnard. A brilliant season is forecast for the team which places a great deal of faith in Sylvia, semiMinalist in the 1934 Jun¬ ior National Singles Indoor title tournament of this past winter. The team has been very fortunate in securing the Winchester Country Club courts for the inter-school matches, so, the best of luck! An elimination tournament is being held to determine the nine best players for the class teams. A round robin in¬ ter-class tournament will then be played to determine which will be the lucky girls to wear their class tennis numerals. Baseball is even more popular in this, its second season, than in its debut of ’33. At this time more than enough are going out to comprise both class and varsity teams. Unlike most sports, varsity players are allowed to play on their class teams. The varsity has challenged Melrose, Arlington and Lexington and may their first season of real competition obtain highest success. In addition to varsity letters, numerals will be awarded to the team winning the inter-class tournament. Track too is becoming more and more popular under Miss Loysen’s direc¬ tion. The events now participated in are the forty yard dash (racing start) fifty yard dash, baseball throw, running broad jump, hop step jump, standing- broad jump, Western high jump, and possible hurdles. Thus lies the plan of the girls’ spring athletic program which we think proves conclusively that Winchester High girls are headed for bigger and better things in the sport line.
