Graf is the boy who comes to school in a “strawberry crate on baby carriage wheels,” talks and gazes at an attractive freshman in study hall, and waltzes so divinely at the A. A. Dances. We don’t know the girl in New¬ ton, but if she can compete with “Gertie” she’s all right. If given a chance, Graf might be a social reformer— ever heard him lecture and did you see the style he set at a DeMolay Dance? Born: Montclair, N. J.; December 12, 1916. Hobbies: Sailing canoes, car. Activities: Orchestra. Intentions: University of New H ampshire. Ambition: Engineering. JANE ALBRO Jane is an enigma, gentle readers. This proper¬ looking daughter of our head Latin teacher is not as prim as she looks. Her private life is practically un¬ known, but of course that’s more interesting anyhow. Some might think “I’ll bet she hasn’t any,” but who can tell? Jane’s tennis used to be something of a panic, but no one can laugh at that little silver cup on her dressing table. Jane plans to be a junior-councilor at a camp this summei’, to practice firmness of mind! Born: Medford; April 19, 1917. Hobbies: Riding, life saving, tennis. Activities: “Pinafore”; “Nothing But The Truth” prompter; Thrift Association. Scholastic Intentions: Chamberlain School. Ambition: Stylist. RUTH ELIZABETH ASELTINE Ruthie is well on the way toward her goal. Her prospects as a second Helen Wills look good. Besides her tennis, Ruthie enjoys nothing more than cheering up the good-looking boys about town. She even makes traf¬ fic officers forget they’re on duty. She can’t help being a flirt any more than she can help sending a tennis ball to the correct spot. It just comes natural. Well, Ruthie, you’ll never get left. Born: Winchester; August 6, 1917. Hobbies: Tennis, knitting’, dancing. Activities: Highlights; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Var¬ sity Tennis; A. A.; Thrift Association; Dramatic Society. Ambition: To be a second Helen Wills. SHOGIIER ALTX BAGIIDOYAN Most people think that they know everything about Shog’her when they know of her ability as an artist and her sunny disposition and delicious giggle. But Shogher is really a mystery woman, for we know nothing about her real self. Were she to reveal more about herself we could without doubt, unwind many an interesting anecdote; but the mystery woman prefers to remain a mystery. Born: Aleppo, Syria, April 14, 1919. Hobbies: Art, reading. Activities: Science Club; Class Hockey; Dramatic So¬ ciety. Scholastic Intentions: Mass. School of Art. Ambition: Portrait painter. EAVART BAJR8TOAV Strike up the band! Oh yes, Casa Loma will do for here comes Ewie! He was a varsity Footballer, found time to be president of the Junior class, contributed his golden bass-tenor to chorus and then, just for fun, be¬ came lieutenant of traffic— ' Ewie’s got to mingle, you know. And don’t think that Ewie’s heart affairs have the need of digitalis—Red hair goes pale when he enters Ford’s. Joking aside, Ewie has really done a great deal for the school and his gay nonchalance will be sadly missed. Born: Lincoln, R. I.; July 10, 1916. Hobbies: Walking “Dink” Toed. Activities: Varsity Football; President Junior Class ’34; Traffic Squad; Prom Committee. I.AAVR EXCE BA 1KST0 V Larry certainly can run, and he gets his practice for track keeping his women distant. He says he isn’t am¬ bitious but you can bet he’ll be assistant to the assistant manager of the Brown football team next year. Just what Coach Mansfield will do without him is still to be discovered. Larry’s not going to be satisfied with climb¬ ing the ladder of success. He’ll use his track ability. Born: Lincoln, R. L; December 25, 1917. Hobbies: Eating, sleeping, running. Activities: Track ’34, ’35; Vice President ’32; Class Night Committee; Traffic Squad; Football Manager; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Brown. Ambition: To manage the Chicago “Bears”. MAKION BANCROFT “The time has come,” the walrus said, “to talk of many things!” We are fully agreed that “Marne” should go to Emerson, for did you ever know anybody who is so capable of waxing eloquent in true soap-box style on so varied a list of subjects ? But it is also admitted that what comes out is no indication of that enviable store of knowledge. Born: Melrose, August 27, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, reading. Activities: Dramatic Society; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: Duke. Ambition: To run a bookshop. EDWARD BATSON “Bats” will some day be one of the leading mechan¬ ical engineers of Alaska. He will benefit by his great knowledge of science and invent a locomotive for the kiddies that will be world-famous . . . the kind that Dad won’t play with on Christmas morn! It is suggested that all of Eddie’s classmates who wish to see their old pal, take a trip to Dawson City, where he will supervise the building of the new railroad that carries gold minei-s. Born: Winchester; August 5, 1916. Hobbies: Photography, locomotives. Activities: Science Club; Varsity Track ’35. Scholastic Intentions: Northeastern University. Vocational Intentions: Mechanical Engineer. BARBARA BERRY Dear old “Butch”! Who leans towards football heroes and “Frat” dances. Perhaps she isn’t so “lean”, but she’s got plenty of push. Wait ’til she gets to Cow Hampshire and teaches the “hicks” something or two about an Indian war-hoop giggle at one of the games. This gal may someday study calisthenics in Germany but here’s hoping her German does more for her than M. Le Brun ever did for her French. Born: Winchester, August 14, 1917. Activities: Highlights; Traffic Squad; Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’32, ’33, ’34. Scholastic Intentions: Colby. Vocational Intentions: Gym teacher. GEORGE LIVERMORE RILLMAX Who’s that friendly soul who rambles about of an evening ' , helps to wash the dishes, plays your piano as it likes to be played, and is nuts about mutts and Ray Noble. Who’s that lad with the distinguished ears, and the swinging arms and legs, and wherever he is seems to bring his own welcome? Who is always different yet always the same ? Why none other than that answer to a maiden’s prayer, George Billman! Born: Winchester, April 24, 1918. Hobbies: Old books, riding, golf. Activities: Dramatic Society; Class Play; Prom Com¬ mittee. Scholastic Intentions: Exeter Academy. ELIZABETH BLAKE Graduating from pig-tails and the Wadleigh School, Bets, enemies please call her “Lizzie,” entered High School. She numbers among her eccentricities the fact that she gets a great kick out of cut-ups” and intends some day to be a doctor. Get it? Bets is among the kindly students who wish Miss Knowlton bigger and better nuts on which she may munch through many pleasant class days. Born: Lynn; March 28, 1918. Hobbies: Driving the “Chevy,” swimming, riding. Activities: Junior-Senior Class Play Committee; High¬ lights; Varsity Basketball, ’34, ’35; Class Hockey; Baseball. Ambition: Doctor. VILLlAI r HENRY BURTT, JR. Bill is a “Fishy” fellow. Don’t get us wrong, how¬ ever. we mean that Bill is simply one of the numerous Fish Fans that permeate the school. His favorite specie is the Lebistes Reticulatis, in other words, a guppy. In school, Bill is a hard worker, and very able. We fore¬ see a successful future for Bill, no matter which of his hobbies he continues in. Born: Cambridge; September 9, 1917. Hobbies: Cycling, numismatics, reading, ping-pong, trop¬ ical fish, enjoying the outdoors, reading poetry, bird study. Activities: Science Club; Thrift Ass’n. Scholastic Intentions: Harvard College. PEARL ELIZABETH CAMPBELL When it comes to horsemanship, she’s well ahead of even the Prince of Wales, since His Highness has fallen off considerably lately. Soup will never be hard up for cups for she is the proud possessor of a great many, rang¬ ing from the size of an egg-cup to an umbrella stand. As for funny blue, yellow, and red bows—she could supply Woolworth’s for a year! With Pearl it has been, continues to be, and may always be, “A kingdom for a horse.” Born: Everett; September 15, 1916. Hobbies: Riding horses. Ambition: To liquidate the Campbell Soup Company. VIRGINIA CARLSON Where can one find a word to describe Ginny ? She is so indefinable and so elusive. Nothing can ruffle her calm serenity. Quietude is one of her dearest hobbies. Ginny is one of our most attractive models in encyclo¬ pedias, fair hair, beautiful complexion, and deep green eyes. And also, like an encyclopedia, much research is necessary to bring out her true self. With her talent, her personality, and her looks, Ginny couldn’t have any¬ thing but success in future years. Born: Winchester; June 13, 1917. Hobbies: Music, swimming. Scholastic Intentions: Business College. Ambition: Secretary. JOSEPH ANTHONY CASSIDY Joe is one of those fortunate individuals who always has an appropriate joke or witty saying for any situa¬ tion. He is always smiling and ready for a good time, and ready to tell you a nice big “one”. When Joe was elected president of the senior class, one couldn’t help wondering if he would accept it with his happy-go-lucky manner. Need we add that Joe is one of our best officers? Born: Winchester, June 14, 1918. Hobby: Thinking up money-making schemes. Activities: Varsity Football ’34; Class Pres. ’35; Aber- jona Staff; Highlights; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Bridgton Academy. ELIZABETH DAVIS ClIAMIiEKLIN Besides many smooth combinations of skirts and hand-knitted sweaters, Lee has rheumatism in the winter and goes sailing in the summer. At football games many a lad’s heart braces if he catches a glimpse of her flash¬ ing smile. In the future she will not only be a buyer in some ultra-exclusive shop, but she will also be seen in Camel ads. Born: Boston; February 24, 1917. Hobbies: Sailing. Activities: Red Cross; A. A. Representative; Class Basket¬ ball; Varsity Baseball. Ambition: To be a buyer. GKETCTIEX CLEAVES Energy—double plus! Grebchen is one of those great out-of-door girls, who scales rocks, skiis down mountains, and is afraid of spiders. Ten years from now Gretchen will be known, not only as an inspiring hockey captain, but as a famous doctor. Can’t you just picture her in a white uniform, stealing all the male doctors’ practice? Born: Medford; February 11, 1917. Hobbies: Mountain climbing, skiing. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Captain, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’33, ’34; Varsity Tennis ’34; Ping- Pong, Science Clubs; Di ' amatic Society; Class Play Committee; Secretary Thrift Ass’n; Highlights; Year Book Staff. Vocational Intention: Doctor. Ambition: To climb the Matterhorn. FLOKEXCE KETII COLLIXS Meet “Ruthie” Collins. She composes verses about everything, possible and impossible, and they’re all good- and terrible. Ruth’s ambition is to have insomnia. She thinks sleeping is a waste of time. Why, she might be seeing Frederic March, her greatest passion, in the time others spend sleeping. Although she’s only been here a year, the school will hate to lose her. But there’s not much money in poetry—she may come back for a P. G. course. Born: Winchester; January 15, 1918. Hobbies: Tennis, swimming, collecting poems. Activities: Class Hockey. Ambition: Finish my eight speeches. JOHN COLLINS Jack’s middle name should be “Science;” it would be strangely appropriate, for that’s his big subject. He is one of our school’s quietest young men—a real asset to the place! He never takes the initiative in class, al¬ though he is just as apt as the next fellow. Sleeping is an art in which he seems practically native, but it doesn’t hinder his job as paper-boy. A Nobel Prize is sure to come his way. Born: Winchester; September 22, 1916. Hobbies: Experimenting and bottle washing. Activities: Charter Member Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Northeastern or B. U. Ambition: Win a Nobel ANN IIALRIET COLUCCI Annie may be small, but she sure does travel when she’s hanging on to the end of a hockey stick; and when she starts heaving a basketball you know definitely that dynamite does come in small packages. As a nurse. Peanut’s success is assured. She never does anything halfway. She even has a smile for her opponents when they try to push her down. Born: Winchester; November 29, 1918. Hobbies: Hockey, swimming. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Varsity Baseball ’34, ’35. Vocational Intentions: To become a nurse. Prize. % MAKY MILDRED CORBY Although rather an obscure member of our class, Mary has numerous admii ' able qualities. Pleasantness and willingness are her mottoes. And such a delightful sense of humor! Wherever any cheering-up is to be done, Mary is Johnny-on-the-spot, but she doesn’t try to do it with “Little Audrey” stories. A good worker, a pleasing companion, and an enthusiastic “rooter” for her pals, especially a certain man on the baseball squad—what more could one ask for? Good luck, Mary! Born: Winchester; December 6, 1916. Hobbies: Dancing, hockey. Activities: Red Cross. Ambition: To be a secretary. EVELVX MUUAM COKEY Here is the liltinj? “flame” of the class of ’35. No, she’ll never be a nite-club hostess, as many believe. How¬ ever, she can duplicate “Mae” if given some black velvet and a bit of mascara. The trip Evvy will take up the Amazon some day may bring- her romance in a swagger¬ ing Gaucho. But she belongs in some atmosphere; that is, apart from conventionality, so why not? Born: Winchester; December 7, 1917. Activities: Dramatic Society; Highlights; Science Club; Jr.-Sr. Class Play. Scholastic Intentions: Colby. Vocational Intentions: Commercial artist. L. PETER CORNWALL Peter is one of those strong silent men about whom we are always reading. He’s like the great doctor-ma¬ gician of W. H. S. vaudeville fame who didn’t break his silence for twenty-five years—the only difference being that Peter hasn’t broken his yet. However, when he does, we shall all be very much surprised at the reser¬ voir of knowledge he has managed to hold back. We expect to see him president of two or thr-ee railways in the future—if he doesn’t run away from himself in the interim. Born: Boston; April 22, 1917. Hobby: Railroads. Activities: Science Club. Ambition: Always to be connected with railroads. PATRICIA CROTTGIIWELL In these difficult days of painted Dietrichs, she’s a comfort, is Patricia Croughwell. For, first, last, and all the time she’s a feminine. Yes, she’s sweet, and tune¬ ful, friendly, and attractive. She’s always ready to take a pointer, especially a West Pointer. And if the Scot who is the namesake of her friend, Bobbie Burns, knew her and had it to write over again he’d say, “A girl’s a girl for a’ that.” Born: Medford, February 2, 1916. Hobbies: Driving a car, travel. Activities: Dramatic Society; “Pinafore.” Ambition: Clothes Buyer. RUTH EVANS CUTTER Her movements are leisurely and unhurried, except in a scrimmage around the hockey cage. Nothing can ruffle her calm serenity, however, not even a set point. Very quiet, and equally unassuming, she hides her many fine qualities. She is unobtrusively active; and, though having earned several varsity letters, Ruth is so modest that she hides behind the curtain on the stage when she receives them. Born: Methuen; July 25, 1917. Hobbies: Collecting liquor bottles. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Baske tball 2nd Team; Tennis ’33, ’34, ’35; Thrift Ass’n; Red Cross. Vocational Intentions: Surgical assistant. PAULINE LUCILLE D’AMBROSIA There are many imitations, but “Pucky” is the original, one and only human question mark. Her re¬ markable power of forcing bewildered teachers to suc¬ cumb to her questioning and amazing statements should be developed. It might be of use in calming Hitler. And just wait until Pauline gets Prof. Einstein within range of her fire of questions! Just how much firing will he be able to stand before he’ll admit there really isn’t any fourth dimension ? Born: Winchester; Sept. 14, 1918. Hobbies: Reading. Activities: Science Club; Class Hockey. Vocational Intentions: To do Social Service work. PRISCILLA DANFORTII Although Pri says that her main ambition is to design clothes, we know better—it really is to keep Cliffie on a string, and does he like it! She also says that she spends most of her time wishing to be someone else!— but then, some people are never satisfied. And how she is decorative at school, in the house, or on the tennis court! Born: Winchester; July 22, 1917. Hobbies: Wishing to be somebody else, riding. Activities: Red Cross Secretary ’34, Vice Pres. ’35; Mgr. Basketball ’33, ’35; Traffic Sciuad; Cheer Leader; Class Treasurer ’35; Jr.-Sr. Play Committee; Prom Committee; Orchestra. Ambition: To design clothes. (’IIAKLES F. DAVIS ---And Charles said, “Charles is a g ' reat man and as the years go by he will grow still greater. Charles un¬ doubtedly is a great man, as all great men are great. Charles the great is a man among men, or in other words, Charles, being great, is Charles the Great as a great man.” And so forth and so on through the night. Nevertheless, we’re sure Chuck will do well in journal¬ ism, or such, if he doesn’t become too gi’eat before he gets there. Born: White Plains, N. Y.; September 26, 1916. Hobbies: Swimming, eating, reading. Activities: Highlights; Vice President, ’33. Vocational Intentions: Journalism. ETHEL LORRAINE DEWAR When asked to write a paragraph about Lorraine we said surely—but upon further deliberation we found that Lorraine is such a quiet soul that there’s nothing much to say except that she is absolutely ice hockey- minded, at present—maybe in a few years she won’t have time to be attending’ hockey games and the like. We find that her ambition is to be on the girls’ ice hockey team—maybe a few of our co-eds are thinking along the same line—how about it Lorraine ? Born: Winchester; November 4, 1917. Hobbies: Dancing, ice hockey. Activities: Class Hockey; Basketball; Picture Committee. JOHN JOSEPH DOHERTY He possesses an inexhaustible supply of witticisms and subtleties and consequently is a constant source of delightful anticipation to his friends and a horrific antici¬ pation of his enemies. (Is this what you wanted, John?) Donkey has a vivid imagination, an exaggerated sense of the ridiculous, originality, plenty of pep, an insatiable fondness for a chair and an artistic capacity for stretch¬ ing stories. Life will never be dull for J. D. Born: Winchester; August 6, 1918. Hobbies: Stamp collecting. Activities: Basketball Manager; Highlights; Traffic Squad; Debating Club. Ambition: To be a professional golfer. THOMAS MT DONAGIIEY If we were to list those members of our class who “said little, did much and smiled always,” Tom would head the list. We have bribed the coach, but to no ad¬ vantage, to part with his secret concerning the nickname of “Sponge,” so we have concluded that his must be an “ole soak.” To predict just what Tom will do in the next few years is a human impossibility; he can do so many things! Born: Winchester; February 24, 1917. Hobbies: Reading, all sports. Activities: Baseball Captain ’35; Year Book Staff; Class Basketball; Traffic Squad. Vocational Intentions: To be a dentist. UARY ELTZABETTI DONOVAN Ginger’s hair has been one of the brightest spots in the school—remember those red, curly locks ? Her pet loves are chocolate cake, shorthand—when dictated slowly—and tennis. With Sue she has served on the extremely active board of “Unofficial Critics of Win¬ chester High.” At 8:14 % A. M., Monday through Friday, she may be seen tearing down Main Street, and up the school walk. Swinging a tennis racket. Ginger keeps fans busy chasing her tennis balls. Born: Winchester; June 29, 1918. Hobby: Tennis. Activities: Debating Club; Ring and Pin Committee; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: Bryant Stratton. Ambition: Private Secretary. ROBERT JAMES DOTTEN Whenever there is any excitement around the school, you can make up your mind Bob Dotten has something to do with it. He may be calmly sitting with the or¬ chestra, playing a delightful trombone accompaniment. He may be starring in amateur theatricals. Whatever the occasion, whether it rains or shines, this all-round sport is always ready and waiting to do his part. Born: Winchester; October 6, 1916. Hobbies: Music, the Theatre. Activities: Class Basketball; Ping Pong Club; Junior- Senior Class Play; Orchestra; Dramatic Society; Class Prophet. Scholastic Intentions: Lenir Academy of Music. Vocational Intentions: Eventually, tlie Theatre. KOOEK niADP.OIIRXE DOWNS Chad, known as “Downce” to his English class and “Rrrogerr” to his French class, has one outstanding feature. This is his well-known and undying devotion to “Ray Noble and his Orchestra” — yea! He is also known for his barn-dancing, and juggling the bones. High-jumping is something of a specialty, too. And unclerneatn it all, the boy conceals a heart of gold! Born: Arlington; June 6, 1918. Hobbies: Watch repairing, checkers. Activities: Class President ’33; Traffic Squad; Varsity Track ’35. Scholastic Intentions: Brown University. Ambition: About the usual amount. EDMUND LOUIS DUNN, JR. Eddie’s quite the man behind the wheel of his car, the speedometer swinging ever forward, and the tele¬ graph poles streaming past! He is wary about letting young ladies drive that auto, though, for out of the past rears the memory of a rash moment when he al¬ lowed it—and they barked up a tree!! Our hero is ad¬ dicted to doing such tricks as drinking glasses of water while standing on his head on a kitchen floor. You know—crazy stuff! Born: Cambridge; October 29, 1915. Hobbies: Driving, fishing industry, selling. Activities: Science Club; A. A. Scholastic Intentions: Bentley’s School. Ambition: Traveling salesman. JUNE ROSALIE EATON Do you know that shy, modest girl who tries so courageously to direct traffic in this Winchester High School? She is June Eaton. One of her outstanding- characteristics is a beautiful laugh. Have you heard it? She has made Long Pond famous by her dashing “figure eights.” And as for knitting, she is the smoothest thing in town. At Gloucester, the fishermen counted on her to help them pull in their nets. She is very fond of lobster. They say there is a scarcity of it when June arrives in Gloucester. Born: Somerville; June 7, 1917. Hobbies: Ping-Pong, skating. Activities: Red Cross; Traffic Squad; Highlights. Ambition: To go back to New York. LEONA ELLIOTT Cleora is Winchester’s giggling girl, who giggles at nothing. She has yet to have a serious hour or minute. Nothing bothers Cleora, and she is too busy doing nothing to bother anything—especially school work. Interest in art has led her to entertain friends with her unusually good sketches. She should have no difficulty in making a place for herself among the foremost artists of the world. Born: Winchester, May 7, 1916. Hobbies: All sports. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33; Basketball ’32. Ambition: To be or not to be. RICHARD DUNCAN ELLIOTT Chi-Chi is a man of the earth. His knowledge of Na¬ ture is astoundingly large. He can identify practically any bird, beast, or fish found in New England, not to mention the trees, toadstools, and flowers. He is one of the school’s “big shots,” as his record shows; though his modesty would belie that fact. Besides all this. Chi-Chi is a great friend in need, especially when one’s broke. Born: Winchester; November 26, 1916. Hobbies: Nature studies, science. Activities: Pres. Science Club; Class Pres. ’32; Vice Pres. Dramatic Society; Pres. Thrift Association. Scholastic Intentions: Mass. State College. Ambition: Politician. JAMES FARLEY Jim, you know, is the boy with the lovely wavy hair who has all the girls from Winchester as well as Woburn just dying to borrow that hair for a special affair. Dynamite could be a nickname for Jim because it makes a big noise and that’s all there is to it—and what a gift of gab!! We’ll let you in on a secret—he’s Miss Parker’s pet—aren’t you Jim ? Born: Reading; May 16, 1916. Hobbies: Hockey, dancing, bowling. Activities: Gym Team; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Vacation. Ambition: Why? CLAUE FAKPvEY Clare was Woburn’s g’ift to Winchester Hig’h, to D. C. and to Art. ’Tis said that “Art has its fanatics and even its monomaniacs.” Clare falls into neither of these categories, for although she sketches Popeye, Jiggs, Jimmy Durante’s nose, and adorable cowboys from the wild and woolly West, she takes a keen interest in learn¬ ing to keep her car on the road, camping and fishing. As long as Chinese restaurants continue to serve Chop Suey, they may be assured of Clare’s patronage—a pineapple sundae is the customary follow-up! One day we shall vie for the honor of having her paint our pic¬ tures. Born: Woburn, March 12, 1918. RAiMONA : rAKrANNh] FENTON Ramona writes that she aspir es to be an aviatrix or an interior decorator, but she’s really going to be an au¬ thority on techniciue in the movies. What kind of tech¬ nique she will specialize in she hasn’t quite decided. It may possibly deal with methods of self-control at a tear- jerker with a stony-hearted boy friend. Ramona prefers the movies in which the strong handsome type of man plays. She professes to be a man hater, but she’ll fall for the men if they fall for her first. Born: Woburn; September 2, 1917. Hobbies: Reading. Ambition: To be an aviatrix or an interior decorator. IIAHIJY ANTHONY FERULLO “Fuzzy” is constantly springing the strangest sur¬ prises, ones that make us change our minds about him. He unobtrusively collects A’s and B’s in such subjects as Math IV and Physics. He came out lor Track this spring and (luietly proceeded to make the team. He does all this with no show or pretense. He’s so quiet that you can hear him change his mind. We have a feeling that he will keep on delivering the goods the same way he’s faithfully delivered his papers. Born: Medford; November 13, 1917. Hobbies: Early morning walks. Activities: Gym Team; Varsity Track ’35. Ambition: To catch the man on the flying ti’apeze. Hobbies: Baseball, drawing. Ambition: To be an artist. MAKJORTE FINGER Owing to the fact that Margy never talks, it was rather hard to learn anything about her personal life; but she does love elephants. This year because of Scar¬ let Fever and other things we haven’t seen as much of Margy as we’d like, but you can always tell when she’s around. Someone’s laughing. Be good when you get to Wellesley, Margy, and don’t let any more bacteria catch up with you. Born: Saugertus, N. Y.; February 15, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, elephants, all sports. Activities: Red Cross; Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball; A. A. Representative; Year Book Staff; Traffic Squad. Scholastic Intentions: Brimmer and Wellesley. Ambition: To be a sampler of contagious diseases. DORIS FLANDERS “Dot” personifies a type which is rare in 1935—a quiet, retiring young lady with equal parts of sweetness and spirit. She goes in for tobogganing and Long Pond in the winter. She swims in summer in Wedge if there’s nothing better. “Dot” has rather a yen for Paris along with her dress-buying idea, and when asked if the much- exploited night life of “Gay Paree” would find her in its whirl she answered, “Well, maybe?” Born: Somerville; September 11, 1916. Hobbies: Learning how to be silly, keeping our aquarium clean. Ambition: To be a dress-buyer for Saks, Fifth Avenue. COLETTE : rARTON GAFFNEY Colette’s one of the best little haunters this old terra firma has ever lifted its orbs to. She has ac- (luired the technique of pursuing an innocent bystander down the corridor, and making him pledge his life away for some magazines for that worthy cause, the Red Cross. Colette is one of those girls who settled down after a frivolous Freshman year—just ask her about that year if you feel like listening to someone talk without interruption for, say, a weekend. Born: Chelsea; September 21, 1917. Hobbies: Dancing, football. Activities: Secretary Red Cross; Jr.-Sr. Class Play; Traffic Squad; Dramatic Society; Highlights. Vocational Ambition: To teach. JA.AIES GEKAKJ) GAFFNEY Gerry is popular. Gerry is an athlete. Gerry is a leader. Gerry is one of the best friends a fellow can have, but there is one person in the Senior Class who could name fifty better fellows than Gerry. This is Gerry himself. We forgot to mention that Gerry is modest to the point of having an inferiority complex. However, we’ll forgive him and not forget him. Born: Chelsea; May 17, 1915. Hobbies: Sailing, horseback riding. Activities: President A. A.; Winner Mansfield Cup; Varsity Track ’34, ’35; Traffic Squad; Boys’ Sports Editor of Aberjona; Varsity hAotball ’33, Co-Cap¬ tain ’34. Scholastic Intentions: Prep School. MARY EILEEN GAFFNEY Eileen doesn’t keep a diary. Why? Well, she’d have it filled too quickly. “Life is just a bowl of cherries” to Eileen, and with no worms in them either. Her pet hobby is being absent from school. Eileen has played on most of the class teams. Baseball is her favorite sport. Most of her time Is spent in Woburn, we won’t tell why because it’s so easy to make her blush. We all expect big things of Eileen in the future. Born: Winchester; June 9, 1918. Hobbies: Eating, roller skating. Activities: Class Hockey; Class Basketball; Class Base¬ ball. Scholastic Intentions: Bryant and Stratton. Ambition: Marry an heir. HENRIETTA GARNER As changeable as the weather, Henrietta “Hank” Garner takes the ups and downs of life and her men one after another. One reason for her popularity is her sense of humor which she never loses; one of her accom¬ plishments is knitting, and she’s some driver. She has the misfortune of opening the “Highlights” every week, and finding herself in the personal column, as do those who have the motto, “Safety in Numbers.” Born: Winchester; December 18, 1917. Activities: Class Basketball; Class Baseball; Manager of Hockey; Traffic Squad; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intentions: Junior College. Ambition: To own a Greyhound bus. alp.p:rt gaum St. Pete: Say, who is this fella Gaum? St. Paul: Oh he’s one of those bright fellows from W. H. S. who’s pretty good at everything. Optimistic and a bidder, he’s a great pal. Had a little trouble with the women, perhaps. St. Pete: That’s so? Hmm. Guess we better start his record in a new book. St. Paul: Yeah, you’ll need a lot of room. He’s sure got a big future ahead of him. Born: Moriah Center, N. Y.; May 13, 1917. Activities: Varsity Football ’34; Track ’33, ’34, ’35; Class Orator; Assistant Editor, Aberjona; A. A. Executive Board; Sports Editor, Highlights; Traffic; Class Basketball; High Honors. Scholastic Intentions: Yale. Ambition: $10,000 per year, and up. DOROTHY GLIDDEN Dot sits calmly seeping in the pearls of wisdom and when she is called upon, can hand it back again concisely and promptly. Try to stump her! In the future we shall wonder, “How doth the busy little bee?” Born: Jackson, Michigan; May 15, 1917. Hobbies: Skiing, horseback riding. Activities: Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Varsity Baseball; A. A. Secretary; Dramatic Society; Science Club Secretary; Highlights Staff; Aberjona Staff; Class Play Committee. Intentions: Boston School of Physical Education. Ambition: To be a coach or dancer. DOROTHY PAULINE GOODHUE Dolly is another all-round gal, not a boney part on her. She has danced almost since she could walk, and is no amateur when it comes to fancy footwork! Of course we don’t really know, but circumstantial evidence seems to prove that the quality of courage is strong in her make-up. Remember the story in the Boston Herald last year of a young woman who plunged into the Aber¬ jona River after her dog—well, that was Dolly. Born: Boston; April 4, 1918. Hobbies: Swimming, dancing, skating. Activities: Class Basketball; Class Hockey; Class Base¬ ball; Varsity Hockey ’34; Highlights. Vocational Intention: To be a nurse. DAVID E. GROSVENOR This is 1935. Hats off to a graduate who doesn’t raise his eyebrows at every blonde he sees, and wink at every brunette. Why, he isn’t even a one-girl-man, but a confirmed woman hater. This popular fellow intends to be a scientist, after graduating from Wesleyan. Every¬ one has the same respect and admiration for him. And girls—don’t give up hope. He may outgrow his com¬ plex yet. Born: Springfield; December 18, 1917. Hobbies: Collecting whiskey bottles. Activities: President of the Red Cross; Traffic Squad; Varsity Football ’35; Varsity Basketball ’35; Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Wesleyan. Ambition: Scientist. LESTER CARLISLE GUSTIN, JR. “Gus” is like an old Ford in that you never can tell what he’ll do next. Though you can be sure he’ll do it well—even if it’s nothing. Last year, pretty girls on dance floors drawled “Juny;” this year football fans shout “Gus.” He can act like Gable on or off the stage, and to hear him debating in Ford’s, one wouldn’t doubt his making a sale to a Puller Brush man. Born: Arlington; December 1, 1916. Hobbies: Outboards, newspapers. Activities: Football ’31, ’34; Track ’32, ’35; Dramatic Society; President of Debating Club. Scholastic Intentions: Norwich. Vocational Intentions: Politics. .AIARY ELIZADETII HALL We have an actress in our midst, a combination of May Robson and Madge Evans. She can laugh and cry beautifully, even doing the latter without the aid of the proverbial onions. Mary’s passion is in the turf, and she “goes” not only for the horses but also for thei] ' riders. We expect that five years from now Mary will be directing and playing in “Broadway Bill” and we hope she comes through with flying coloi ' s. Born: Somerville; January 6, 1917. Hobbies: Horse racing, dramatics. Activities: Dramatic Society; “Nothing but the Truth.” Scholastic Intentions: Colby. Ambition: To be a dramatic director. NANCY JOSSELYN HALL When you really know Nan Hall, she’s quite different from what you probably imagined from after glancing at her report card! She goes in for sports very little, and was extremely busy knitting in gym class the other day. In spite of not much participation, she is an ardent sports fan. Ladies’ day at Fenway Park will always find her in the front row with vocal chords in use at full steam. Born: Worcester; March 31, 1918. Hobbies: Music, and shooting crap. Activities: Valedictorian; Editorial Editor of Highlights; Class Motto Committee; Chairman of Class Play Committee; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intention: Jackson. Ambition: Journalism. IMAKTIN THOMAS HANLEY Did you ever see Martin when he was worried, was on time, or when he was cross? No? Well, neither have we. Although Marty claims that his hobby is col¬ lecting Indian heads, we have every reason to believe that he is very fond of tickling girls’ necks with his pencils. A bit of a procrastinator, yet somehow managing to get there or, to finish it on time,—which, after all, is getting it done. It’s a pleasure to see, in this age of rushing, someone who never seems in a hurry. Born: Winchester; July 23, 1918. Hobby: Collecting Indian head pennies. Activities: Freshman Football. JOHN DOUGLAS HANLON Some combination we have here! With the looks of an Apollo, unequaled athletic ability, positions of year book manager, traffic officer, and Vice-President of the Senior class, “Jack” Hanlon holds a prominent place among the graduates. In other words, a regular guy; so here’s to John, “Jack,” “Steamer,” or just Hanlon— good luck and no dumb-bells to coach! Born: Winchester; June 24, 1918. Hobbies: Football, smoking “cee-gars.” Activities: Varsity Football ’33, (.:o-Captain ’34; Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Vice-President of Senior Class; Business Manager of Year Book; Traffic Squad; Class Night Committee; A. A. Representative. Vocational Intentions: To coach football at Dartmouth. FRAXC’IS WILL1A: I HARKINS “Good nature and good sense are usually companions,” but here they are more like lovers. Frank is one of those rare individuals who always has his work done on time. He is very quiet in the classroom but outside-! Any¬ one privileged to be listed as a friend of his is indeed fortunate, for Frank will always stick up for his friends loyally and will let them copy his bookkeeping. We’ll alwavs remember that gloom-dispellin’, smile-dispensin’ member of the class of ’35. Born: Somerville; August 22, 1917. Hobbies: Swimming, basketball. Activities: Class Basketball ’34. Intentions: Wentworth Institute. Ambition: To be a mechanic. RARBAKA HARRIS “Barb” quietly dropped into our midst last Septem¬ ber. Since then she has quietly won her way into the hearts of many—both sexes. During the winter, along with skiing, tobogganing, and skating. Barb managed to knit several sweaters and skirts which are the envy of many girls. The boys say she’s a real pal, and a square shooter. Like science, the more you know about her the more you want to know. Born: Rumford, Maine; March 25, 1917. Hobbies: Poetry, athletics. Activities: Class Hockey; Year Book Staff. Scholastic Intentions: Bradford Junior College. Vocational Intentions: Dietician. RllVLLlS .MTTRIELLE HARTWELL “Phyl” is all-round girl—all year ' round, although summer is preferred. She has ability in the theatrical line, the executive, and just regular loquacity! Among her souvenirs are Wine Lists, “No Parking” signs, and pictures of that nice Englishman—the naval one. She is an ardent enthusiast of the barn dance. What would the Highlights have done without her? Born: Chelsea; October 28, 1916. Hobbies: Fishing, dancing, writing, rifle-shooting. Activities: Science Club; Dramatic Society; Class Play; Class Night Committee. Scholastic Intentions: Leland Powers School. Ambition: Marry a naval officer. WINCHESTER PUBLIC U«Um WINCHESTER, MASS. KUTII BAILEY IIENBERGEK Ruthie is strong on that banging, walking, and starting novels although she did finish a few of the latter, way back in the dear, dead days. Winter times she does rather a bit of tobogganing; sometimes she manages to gather those particular young male sports¬ ters into the house afterwards for refreshments. Ruthie’s castle is a cute apartment in Greenwich Village, with a year job, a pair of shoes for every day per month, and New Year’s Eve at the “Village Barn!” Born: Jamaica Plain; July 27, 1917. Hobbies: Banging the piano, starting novels, walking. Activities: A. A.; Chorus. Ambition: To find one of my novels in the library. MARTHA HILL You may think that Martha’s shy, but if you saw her in the capacity of the only girl counsellor at a boys’ camp, you’d be surprised. Martha falls for men with curly hair possessing sufficient ability to paddle canoes. She is one of those persons who believe that it’s a great life if your “dont’s” weaken. Nobody ever asked why she was interested in psychology, but we happen to know she wonders why certain people behave as they do. Born: Arlington; February 22, 1918. Hobbies: Music, psychology, poetry. Activities: Dramatic Society; Traffic. Ambition: To write and publish verse. RICHARD HOGAN “Didge” possesses another sportive appellation de¬ rived from the low frequency of both his mental and physical oscillations. This one is “lazy Dick.” He has graced our stately corridors, lo, these past four years. His flaming carrot-top could not have been missed, it is such a rare blend. Traffic officers appreciated his drag¬ ging feet which effectively slowed down many a rushing horde. “Didge” is at his best in the bleachers or grand¬ stand where he can effectively razz everyone, no matter his size, and have no worries as to his safety. Born: Winchester; March 23, 1918. Hobbies: Studying. ROP.EKT HAMILTON UO YE He—Decent looking; chap, square of shoulder, set of jaw. She—Just like Jimmy Cag ' ney! He—A bit sure of himself perhaps ? She—But oh, that cute gigg’le! He—He’s certainly capable, hard-working, and on the level. I guess he’ll make good. She—Sure he will, for he’ll always have friends. A regular guy, is that Red Howe! Born: Arlington, February 27, 1917. Hobbies: Tennis, boating, printing. Activities: Highlights Business Mgr.; Aberjona Staff; Thrift Ass’n; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: Dartmouth. Ambition: Publishing. JEAN IIUC ' KINS “Pert” would be an appropriate adjective, for Jean always has a wide-awake-and-alert look about her. We hear she intends to run a nursery school (and those males who are inclined to feel a second childhood coming on are at liberty to enroll). Her talent as a pianist and roller skater must be great, for when she plays the piano the men fall for her and when she skates, she falls for the men. Born: Winchester; October 29, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, reading. Activities: Dramatic Society; Science Flub; “Pinafore”. Ambition: To run a nursery school. NANC’Y PENDLETON JACKSON When Nancy’s papa and momma named that chubby little lump of femininity “Nancy” they showed a gift of prophecy, for that name suggests someone who is viva¬ cious, blithe, and enthusiastic. Of the pupils in Win¬ chester High, Nancy certainly takes the cake for being the best natured and the most enthusiastic, and she likes anything from Black’s Diner hamburgers to big blond Harvard seniors. Born: Minneapolis, Minn.; May 6, 1917. Hobbies: Taking my Scottie for a walk. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Vice Pres. A. A.; Traffic; Dramatic Society; Jr.-Sr. Play Committee; Editorial Board of “Highlights”. Scholastic Intentions: Wellesley. HELEN YOUNG JOHNSTON Helen, never refer to her as “Red” if you wish her friendship, hails from Connecticut, and is as close¬ mouthed about her private affairs as a clam. We al¬ most had to open her mail to find out that Leon writes to her weekly from New Haven. Helen is the best football player in town. Although famed for her silence, when she plays, it’s hard for anyone else to be heard. Swim¬ ming is her greatest accomplishment, but she skates and skiis with skill. Born: New Haven, Conn.; April 21, 1918. Activities: Science Club; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intentions: Simmons. Ambition: To study Dietetics. WALTER Y. JOSEPHSON Little Joe has claimed Winchester as his home town ever since August 16, 1917, when Joe first crashed life’s golden gates. On reaching High School, Joe had de¬ veloped sports as his hobby, much to Coach Mansfield’s delight. Joe is leaving Winchester High School with an enviable record in varsity competition. In fact after Prep. School Little Joe intends to become a coach. Con¬ fidentially, Joe is rather clever with the silver-ware es¬ pecially if he is within range of food. Born: Winchester; August 16, 1917. Activities: Varsity Football ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’35; Tennis ’34, Capt. ’35; Treasurer Junior Class; Class Night Committee; Aberjona Staff. Vocational Intentions: Teacher-coach. GERTRUDE LOUISE KELLEY Gertie has proven herself to be a remarkable base¬ ball player, and claims that her only sorrow is the lack of a Big League for girls. A brilliant student of politics she claims that A1 Smith would make an acme President of the United States. But now that she and Huey Long have joined forces, we may look forward to baseball games every afternoon for tired politicians. Born: Winchester; September 11, 1917. Activities: Varsity Baseball ’34, ’35; Class Hockey ’34; Debating Club. Scholastic Intentions: Harvard School of Business. Vocational Intentions: Criminal lawyer. PHILIPPA COOMBS KELLEY Phil swings a wicked tennis racket for the tennis team, but otherwise she’s more or less harmless. She doesn t plan to be a second Helen Jacobs, however, for she writes she would like “to get into a field not yet inhabited. Whether she means to ferret out something new in the scientific world or to find a nice uninhabited field somewhere is up to her. If both fail, she’ll take up child psychology. Born: Bangor, Maine; July 13, 1916. Hobbies: Listening to the radio, writing notes. Activities: Red Cross; Varsity Tennis ’34, ’35; Class Baseball. Scholastic Intentions: Bradford Junior College. Ambition: To get into a field not yet investigated, or child psychology. BEATRICE KELLY Having become an expert in the art of cooperative driving’. Bee now wants to do cartwheels on a racing motorcycle. She adores camps—or perhaps it is one of the people in them. Destroying lollypops in that digni¬ fied manner peculiar to seniors. Bee is a raspberry- sherbert-sundae addict—when they are paid for by some¬ one else. A would-and-will-be artist. Bee, will have her paintings hung in the galleries of the world. Born: Leominster; August 27, 1916. Hobbies: Drawing, rolling skating. Activities: Dramatic Society. Ambition: Artist. RICHARD SULLY LEGHORN When the Norn Mother received the order for Leg¬ horn, R. S., she determined that this batch should be especially good. She took two heaping cups of ingenuity and into this creamed some imagination. Then she added a goodly portion of understanding mixed with versatility. She stirred it well and put it in the oven. But little Audrey laughed, and laughetl, and laughed, because she’d mixed in susceptbility for brunettes, a dis¬ like of compulsory work, and fuzzy hair. Born: Brookline, February 7, 1919. Hobbies: Music, magic, butterflies. Activities: Editor-in-Chief, Abei’jona; President, Ping- Pong Club; Vice President, Science Club; Red Cross; Editorial Staff, Highlights; Class Basketball; Saluta- torian. Scholastic Intentions: M. 1. T. MURIEL LITTLE “Mule”—quaint nickname, isn’t it? We wonder if she could possibly have gotten it from one or two special characteristics. Did you ever see Muriel get annoyed at a teacher? Fun, no end. She doesn’t go in for sports except riding (horseback). She’s a shark at contract, and spends her spare time reading—nothing heavy, you understand—good books. Muriel doesn’t plan to delight any college with her presence next year, but we’re sure she’ll be an addition to something with that smile! Best of luck, Muriel. Born: Melrose Highlands; December 13, 1917. Hobbies: Horseback riding, reading. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’33, ’35; Dramatic Society; Thrift Association. Ambition: To be happy. CHARLES HENRY MALLOY To the girls, Charley is a darn cute-looking, baby¬ faced boy, with a school-girl complexion and wavy brown hair. To the boys, he’s rather quiet, yet humorous, will¬ ing, but with a will, and easy-going, yet not easily led. To the Physics class, he’s a bit ot a genius, for who, but a genius, can go through a Physics course, never daunted or down-heaiTed, and pull down a B. We ex¬ pect to see some day in the far future, in the Journal of Scientific Discoveries, that Charley has discovered a formula for sulphuric acid that J. Spencer can remember. Born: Winchester; May 7, 1918. Hobbies: Science. Ambition: Disprove Einstein. BARBARA CLAYTON MARCHANT Did you feel that breeze? It was Barbara Marchant passing by. Yes, she types ninety-nine words a minute. It’s a record they say. Whether it is a ping-pong ball, a piano keyboard, or a typewriter key, she strikes it. She is always moving and always busy. Very witty— wherever “Bab” is, there is fun and action. She keeps a diary and reads movie magazines. They say she has a ravenous appetite—maybe that’s why she’s such a wonderful cook. Born: Somerville; August 13, 1917. Hobbies: Ping-Pong, swimming. Activities: Traffic Squad; Science Club; Thrift Ass’n.; Ping-Pong Club; Typing Champion. Scholastic Intentions: Chandler Secretarial School. Ambition: To beat Dick Leghorn in Ping-Pong. ALFRED KLWMDXl) MATTHEWS A darkened room, air filled with chemical odors, a whistling’ boy handling- negatives—it’s A1 developing another roll of film, or perhaps conducting experiments which will prove him greater than Mr. Alley or Ein¬ stein. Peering into the future, we see A1 charming away all snakes and insects by that newest joke of his. Big things will come from the little boy with the hair like the gold from a furnace. Born: Winchester; December 10, 1917. Hobbies: Fishing, rowing. Activities: Gym Team; Pin and Ring Com. Scholastic Intentions: Post Graduate. Ambition: Curator of Reptiles at the N. Y. Zoo. LY.AIAN HAYDEN : rATTHEWS It’s hard to know where to begin with Lymie. He is the quintessence of efficiency, practicality, and serious¬ ness. Not that he is too serious—! No! Lymie took hookkeeping the first period this year just so that he could see Pete in Room 27 every morning. He can tell a joke and take one—which is saying a good deal. He showed us that he is a real boy this year—on the track. Born: Waltham; November 20, 1917. Hobbies: Hunting, fishing. Activities: Varsity Track ’33, ’34, Capt. ’35; Class Basket¬ ball. Ambition: Lumber business. SUSAN McGONIGLE Susan is a rare character, well worth knowing, both as an authoi-ity on topics of the day and for her many likeable qualities. Seldom do we find among the fairer of the species so finished a politician and such a firmness of purpose and ideas. The pupils will long remember her oration on the qualities of the New Deal. If by any chance she is not successful as a lawyer she can always hire a soap box. Born: Winchester; January 29, 1918. Hobbies: Sleeping, tennis, debating, politics. Activities: Debating Club; Motto Committee; Permanent Honor Roll. Scholastic Intentions: B. U. Law School. Ambition: Lawyer. . lARY CATHERINE McGURN Mary is a devotee of all sports, with baseball bein ' ?- her favorite. Would like to marry a big-league baseball player so she could see all the games—free. Her favorite dish is anything with food on it. Intends to travel around the world—when and if she gets rich, or marries the big- league player. Though “She was just the quiet kind whose natures never vary,” who knows what is hidden behind that calm unassuming manner ? Born: Winchester, August 28, 1918. Hobbies: Reading, tennis. Activities: Class hockey; Basketball; Baseball. Ambition: Travel around the world. ET.EANOR VIRGINIA McHITGII Elbe looks good to us when we see her darting hither and yon on a tennis court. To a certain handsome blonde Soph she looks grand on skates, at a dance, or even across the table in the school cafeteria. With her ability to make the dust fly behind her winging feet, we can understand how she keeps that slender figure—and made Hockey at the first try. You’ve got some am¬ bition, Elbe, and here’s hoping that Providence beams on your plans! Born: Stoneham; April 5, 1917. Hobbies: Swimming, tennis. Activities: Hockey; Class Hockey ’34; Class Basketball ’34. Ambition: To be a brain specialist. ja: ies “Mac”, man of many moods, may be seen almost any time driving around town with Dolan or Lefty, see¬ ing the latest in women’s fashions, and thoroughly en¬ joying life in the relaxed fashion. He is quite an athlete, performing on the diamond as web as on the basketball court. Jim has a fondness for food at the oddest times, usually during a study period. We shall remember him for his charming line, and his extreme stick-to-it-iveness. Born: Winchester, December 10, 1917. Hobbies: Hockey, Rainbow Girls. Activities: Varsity Baseball ’35; Intramural Basketball. Ambition: Airplane pilot. ‘LEOD FAKY OIFAf’L] : rt ' : rANi s Mac is the epitome of the unexpected. When her chin reaches a tilt of twenty-five degrees, we prepare to be surprised. As for the rattling- of the ivories—there isn’t anyone who can outplay her. Mac doesn’t play jazz, either! Her ambition is to compose music and we feel sure that she will be one of those of whom we shall say, “I knew her when—”. Mac’s name ought to be Checker’s. She always makes the first move! Born: New Haven, Conn., August 13, 1917. Hobby: Music. Ambition: To publish a song. JOSEPH DANTEI. jNFcNALT.Y Whenever there’s an assembly or a play, Joe can be found in the center of the activities. He’s helping with the scenery, or playing the drums, or working the spot¬ light. Anyway, he’s there somewhere. The baseball team he managed was one of the most successful in recent years. He’s a good fellow to have around when you want work done well and willingly. Born: Philadelphia, Penn.; July 25, 1918. Hobby: Borrowing nickels. Activities: Varsity Baseball Manager ’34; Science Club; Dramatic Society; Orchestra; Thrift Association. Ambition: To be a good raconteur. KOPEKT JA: IES McTAOTH : Lefty would be lost if his left hand should ever fail him. He uses it so advantageously to hide behind when he blushes, the modest boy. The baseball team would also miss this lanky, red-haired southpaw. Lefty has a de¬ cidedly unusual and unique hobby in Rainbow Girls. _ e take it that he likes them in all colors, shapes, and sizes. Best of luck. Lefty, when you take your final choice. Born: Wakefield, November 7, 1917. Hobbies: Baseball, Hockey, Rainbow Girls. Activities: Varsity Baseball ’35; Intramural Basketball. Ambition: Airplane mechanic. l rARGARET ADEl.ATDE :MILLTCAN A bright smile and a cheery word of greeting an¬ nounce the fact that Margaret Millican is on the scene She’s an accomplished violinist, but her sunny disposi¬ tion constantly denies the belief that all ai’tists are tem¬ peramental. Her loyal support and participation in the activities of the dramatic society and of the orchestra well illustrate her dependability. Small in stature, she is another one of those “good things” which “come done up in small packages.” Hats off to Margaret! Born: Arlington; May 31, 1917. Hobbies: Traveling. Activities: Orchestra; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intentions: Lesley School. ' Ambition: To live in a log cabin. ANDREW EDWARD MILLYAN Quiet, unassuming, but one whom a look can classify as determined. A fellow who takes his football and his drinks like a gentleman. Porky is one of those easy-go¬ ing, good-tempered fellows. He is ever indifferent to women but loves his hot peppers. The steadying effect of his calmness in tight moments on the gridircn was in¬ valuable to the team. We’ll always remember Porky as one of those fellows in whom “there is strength be¬ hind his silence.” Born: Winchester; January 14, 1918. Hobbies: Swimming, football. Activities: Varsity Football, ’34; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Bartender’s College. Ambition: To invent a knock-me-down cocktail. GERALDINE DOUGLAS MOULTON If anyone has chanced to wonder about the 5 ft. blonde who flits around the school dropping “puny puns,” let us introduce “Gerry” Moulton. She adores swimming- in the summer, roller-skating, and her “Scotty.” She has a passion for hot dogs and tomato juice. She thinks the world was made for fun and frolic, but grows un¬ responsive when questioned about her “whoopee” cel¬ lar, or out-of-town football players. We didn ' t bother her further, but drew our own conclusions, and departed, after wishing all the 90 lbs. of Gerry the best of future luck. Born: Lowell; March 7, 1919. Activities: Dramatic Club; Clars Hockey. Scholastic Intentions: P. G. Ambition: To become sophisticated. GLADYS MOULTON Have you noticed Gladys’ smile and twinkling- eyes lately? Could it be the “Good Samaritan” in Gladys has .s-one noble toward the medical profession of a doctor from Missouri? Gladys has not only gone out for sports, but with her vigorous cheerleading has inspired many a wilting football team. She prefers trumpets to violins, hoi’ses to mice, and last of all Wolfeboro, N. H. to Win¬ chester. Born; Winchester; March 9, 1917. Hobbies: Horseback riding, all sports. Activities: Varsity Basketlaall ’34, ’35; Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Class Tennis: Orchestra; Prom Com¬ mittee; Highlights; Red Cross. Scholastic Intentions: Colby Junior College. Vocation Intentions: Doctor’s assistant. CATHERINE MURPHY Soft lights, the enchanting strains of an orchestra, and a waxed floor and the dancing lady is there; for dancing is Kay’s hobby and she is quite proficient in the art. Bashful at times, she possesses a delightful, old- fashioned blush. Her fine sense of humor helps to place her on the winning side of any argument she enters, and they are many. But with that smile, we know she has no difficulty convincing the male element. Born: Winchester; January 1, 1918. Activities: Class Hockey. Ambition: To chase the boll weevils out of the Cotton Club. ANNA R. Nil I AN In winter, she’s tobogganing down the hills of dear old Winchester; in summer, swimming in Winchester’s exclusive ole swimmin’ hole, Sandy Beach, or along the shores of this country from Maine to Cape Cod. Her greatest weaknesses are lemon pies upon lemon pies and Brighton, where she once lived. Possessor of a fine sense of humor, Ann has made many friends in Winchester, and leave it to this dependable girl to keep them. Born: Everett, April 12, 1917. Hobbies: Reading, skating. Activities; Class Hockey. Ambition: To invent an automobile with rubber fenders. RITA AGNES O’CONNELL A distinctive personality, a good disposition, a snappy comeback for every remark, and a ringing laugh! Yes, that’s Rita with her storehouse cf energy and pep bub¬ bling over. Since all the world’s a stage, Rita certainly is the clown of the play, “Fun.” However, to take her lightly, in her more serious moments would be a most woeful error. “She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, and pleasant, too, to think on.” Born: Winchester; August 15, 1918. Hobbies: Sports, reading. Activities: Class Hockey; Class Basketball. Ambition: To meet that well-known “Tall, dark and handsome”. DANIEL JAMES O’LEARY, JR. Dan’s wavy hair is the envy of many girls here in school. The funny part is that he doesn’t even have to coax it to curl. (We have reason to believe he does just the opposite.) Dan is one boy who believes in being “seen and not heard.” Agreeable, sincere, and capable is Bud—all that and lots more—a good sense of humor and a wonderful friend. Born: Winchester; February 18, 1918. Hobbies: Driving an auto, visiting historical places. Activities: Thrift Association. Ambition: Newspaper reporter or detective. FRANCES BARBARA O’NEIL A gale of laughter arose from the other end of the room! Oh, just Franny telling another story. She wants to become someone’s private secretary and we’ll bet that she will get there at any price. Franny wears a size 1 1-2A shoe. Her greatest ambition is to grow so people won’t look down upon her and tickle her under the chin and say “Oh my, isn’t she cute.” Born: Charlestown, October 21, 1917. Hobbies: You’d be surprised. Activities: Class Picture Committee. Ambition: To pull a fast one on Shinnick. CHARLES E. PABST, JR. Charlie goes to Billerica about three times a week. He’s joined the Woburn Armory. Charlie doesn’t seem to be interested in boys’ sports, but you’ll see him at all the girls’ hockey, basketball, and baseball games. Any fine summer day take a stroll around Horn Pond and Charlie can be seen doing the honors as the “beau of the beach.” In spite of his weakness towards the fair sex, we expect big things from him and wish to say, “Good luck, Charlie.” Born: Boston; March 30, 1917. Hobbies: Reading, collecting stamps. Activities: Thrift Association. Vocational Intentions: To be a bookkeeper. MARGARET AGNES PENTA Dainty is a most perfect adjective for Margaret. Did you ever see her with her hair messed up or the seam of her stocking crooked ? Quiet to outsiders, but the “life of the party” to her friends. Margaret enjoys dancing and reading along with typing. Although not a participator in sports, she enjoys watching a good baseball game. Get that boys? We wish Margaret all the luck in the world!! Born: Woburn; April 22, 1916. Hobbies: Dancing. Vocational Intentions: Secretarial work. H. GRAHAM PETERSON Contrary to your belief if you’ve seen him struggling to “assume an erect position” in Room 22, “Bus” is fond of exercise (physical). We are inclined to wonder, though, if all those trips to New Hampshire were promptecl bv a desire to ski? To annoy “Bus,” grab the pencil that is sure to be behind his ear, but be sure to appre¬ ciate his—well—unique hats, and admire the art (?) on his jacket. Humorous, sociable, and even brilliant at times, “Bus” is “all right.” Born: Newton; August 28, 1917. Hobbies: Skiing, golf, skating. Activities: Dramatic Society; Ping-Pong Club. Scholastic Intentions: Dartmouth. Ambition: No! : rAKGAKET PLUMER What’s the secret of the happy smile, Margaret, or aren’t we supposed to know? We can’t make any pos¬ itive statements about what will come after Wheaton, but if everything else fails, a knit-shop, specializing in neckties, wouldn’t be so bacl, Margaret. Born: New Rochelle, N. Y.; October 18, 1917. Hobby: Knitting neckties. Activities: Science Club; Highlights; Dramatic Society; Year Book Stalf; Class Basketball and Tennis; Class Gift Committee; Baseball Manager. Scholastic Intentions: Wheaton. Ambition: For me to know, and you to guess. FRANK CARPENTER PORTER Hank is another member of the class who tries not to waste any energy. He lists Mr. Keeney and Mr. Brov.n as his best friends. You are a lucky boy. Hank, and just how do you rate ? His words come slowly, but his smile, full of geniality, we know, appears quickly. We hope that Hank, ther ole fule, got as much pleasure out of writing his poetry as we do reading it. Born: Winchester; January 16, 1918. Hobbies: Ping-pong, writing poetry. Activities: Football; Thrift Ass’n; Motto Committee; Highlights; A. A. Representative. Scholastic Intentions: Andover. PAULINE RALLO Pauline is that small, vivacious attractive brunette who wears the smoothest clothes. Polly is naturally quiet except when she sings the latest jazz from the back seat of the bus coming from varsity games. She’s not too fond of studying, has definite likes and dislikes; and athletics rate high with her and she in them. If she came back as a coach, there’d be successful teams and they’d have TECHNIQUE! Born: Winchester; 1917. Hobbies: Hockey, dancing. Activities: Varsity Basketball ’34, ’35; Varsity Hockey ’33, ’34; Varsity Baseball ’34, ’35. Ambition: To coach in Winchester High. Ambition: Astronomer. MAKV LOUISE REDDY Mary is as easy to get along with as she is to look at—as pleasant a companion as one would want. She adores dancing, reading, and typing. If you ever want anything important done, Mary will attack it with a smile. She plays on the class baseball team and would have gone out for more sports if her time permitted. We all envy Mary’s charming personality and wish her all the luck possible now and in the future. Born: Wilmington; January 2, 1916. Hobbies: Dancing, reading, swimming. Activities: Class hockey. Ambition: To become a successful private secretary. HELEN REEVES On the whole, one rather envies her. Her marks and her looks leave nothing to be desired, that is, noth¬ ing but those A’s and those Eyes. Her witchery is not confined to animate things. In basketball the baskets seem to long for the balls she throws, and they usually get them. Her school books must be annoyed by her utter dis¬ regard. But why practice, or plug, when y ou’re a talented, charming Helen Reeves ? Born: North Adams; July 12, 1918. Hobbies: Horseback riding. Activities: Varsity Basketball ’35; Permanent Honor Roll; Class Night Committee; Class Tennis ’3 ' 5. Intentions: Honorable but indefinite. RUTH RENNERT Ruth’s work in all four years of high school has been well-done and outstanding. She has a smile for everybody, yet makes life miserable for those who don’t get their “Highlights” write-ups in. Ruthie has shown remarkable ability in the field of journalism and we feel sure she will be successful in this, which she hopes to make her life work. Born: Quincy; July 16, 1917. Hobbies: Stamps. Activities: Class Hockey; Class Basketball; Class Tennis; Varsity Tennis Mgr.; Traffic; Dramatic Society; Editor-in-Chief Highlights; Aberjona Staff. Vocational Intentions: Work on a newspaper. FKEI) II. SCHOLL, JL “Speed” is undoubtedly one of the slowest, laziest, best humored, most eccentric members of the senior class. Fred doesn’t waste any energ-y, not even on words, but we’ll bet those white gun boats he wears consume some energy unknown to “Speed” or else he would not wear them. Only a chosen few know that mischief lurks beneath that calm exterior! Born: Winchester; August 28, 1917. Hobbies: Going to Watertown, travel, pushing my Fall River liners along. Activities: Science Club; Dramatic Club. Ambition: To establish a Wedge Pond ferry. ELEANOR SHARON We offer Eleanor Sharon as an example of an active member of the graduating class. She stands out espe¬ cially in the Science Club, of which she is treasurer; but after having practice as a Highlights editor, may take up journalism. “Squally” knows everybody and every¬ thing—a female Walter Winchell. Since she has been going with the same boy for three years, her favorite occupation is fighting with him. Sometimes, she wins, sometimes. Born: Winchester; May 31, 1918. Activities: Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Class Basketball; News Editor of Highlights; Treasurer of Science Club; Dramatic Society; Junior-Senior Class Play Committee; Traffic Squad. Scholastic Intentions: P. G. course, then Colby Jr. College. RITA SHEEHAN Rita hails from our greatest rival’s town. Rita likes the football pretty well. We wonder where her sym¬ pathies are when a Woburn-Winchester game is in ses¬ sion. However, she has never deigned to quote herself on the subject. At parties you wouldn’t know Rita. Boy! Oh! Boy! Rita likes sundaes, fudge if you please, and, we wonder with whom she likes to hob-nob sundae- ing. Rita’s ambition is to get acquainted with a good- looking usher so she can get into the movies for nothing. It’s too bad the usher can’t sit down with her because then Rita’s happiness would be complete. Born: Woburn; February 26, 1918. Hobbies: Skating, swimming. Ambition: To become a private secretary. AMOS W. SIIEPAKI), JR. Amos has an unusual eagerness to do and learn every¬ thing- there is to do ami learn, but first he must know why he is doing it, where, how, and when. His work as Co-chairman of the Advertising Board of this book has been unparalleled. In fact, without his persistance the “Aberjona” might have died. Amos has never studied astronomy, but he has a marvelous idea ot what it takes to make a pleasant evening. Born: Springfield; Ajiril 1, 1916. Hobbies: Swimming, traveling. Activities: Gym Team; Year Book Staff; Ping-Pong Club. Ambition: To go around the world. EDWARD RAYMOND SHERBURNE, JR. White shoes, suspenders, and a loud necktie! We not only hear Junie coming, but we also see him. Junie has a yen for Cab Calloway and his red hot Harlem rhythm, and, as far as that goes, Junie isn’t so far be¬ hind him in modern technique. He is as changeable as the weather, but his taste in girls has actually remained the same for a whole year. It must be love. Junie! Born: Winchester; March 16. 1917. Hobbies: Hockey, tennis, swimming. Activities: Traffic; Debating Club; Highlights. Scholastic Intentions: B. U. or Huntington Prep. Ambition: To be a leader of an orchestra. EDW ARD C. SlIlNNKJv Who isn’t acquainted with Eddie Shinnick, better known as that big vegetable man from the First Na¬ tional Store. When one first becomes acqua ' nted with Eddie one immediately thinks of heaven and angels— but we know better—he’s the class cut-up. Eddie’s am¬ bition is to be the Chief Executive of the FI-NA-ST. Well—he’s got a pretty good start—starting as an order boy he worked himself up to vegetable man—maybe in- five years he will be fishman—what a position! Born: Winchester; December 23, 1916. Hobbies: Wouldn’t you like to know. Activities: Traffic Squad; Highlights. Scholastic Intention: To learn something for a change. Ambition: To take C. P Adams’ place in the F’irst Na¬ tional Stores. PRISCILLA BRADFORD SITIVERICK Unknown to the rest of the school, “Pri” is one of those individuals whose secret passion is a sailor. The first sign of how she really felt appeared a short time ago when he went on a cruise and she develojjed a heat rash. She soon cooled down, however, when she got her license and followed the boat. Contrary to common belief, all sailors’ “frails” are not untamed, at least “Pri” is quite domesticated, for she is a good cook and her baby brother has afforded her considerable experience with children. In other words, “Sailor beware!” Born: Springfield; May 18, 1917. Hobbies: Trying to draw. Activities: Thrift Association; Aberjona Staff. Ambition: To be a dress designer. JANET SPENCER “J” Spencer is one of our most prominent seniors. Her favorite sport is riding—horseback and otherwise. The horses say there must be a double meaning—we agree. She takes one class so seriously that she has taken up knitting while in the presence of our over¬ powering professor of that class. Despite her delaying, she ought to be able to attain her goal. Born: Winchester; August 16, 1917. Hobby: Riding. (D. M.) Activities: Dramatic Society; Highlights; Class Night Committee; Aberjona Staff; Varsity Hockey ’35; Varsity Tennis ’33, ’34, ’35; Capt., Basketball ’35. Scholastic Intentions: Smith. Ambition: To write a “Sub Deb Page” for high school boys. NATALIE STEVENS Who made the goal? Nat, of course. As an athlete few can surpass her whether it be hockey, basketball or horseback riding. Nat also has time to be chairman of many committees and secretary of this worthy senior class. Popular, pleasing, pretty, Nat is a girl out of many. Born: Winchester; July 6, 1917. Hobbies: Horseback riding, all sports. Activities: Prom Committee; Secretary of Sophomore Class; Secretary of Senior Class ’35; Varsity Hockey ’32, ’33, ’34; Varsity Basketball ’33, ’34; A. A. Rep¬ resentative; Thrift Association, Vice Pres. ’35; Traf¬ fic Squad; Varsity Baseball ’34; Executive Board of A. A. Ambition: To travel and own horses. .JEAX SYEH Cy always appears to be very quiet, but some of us are lucky enoug ' h to really know her! She is always ready to do something’ for you and has a pleasing ' manner which is an outward expression of a good disposition. Cy can outrival any girl in school when it comes to knit¬ ting. Perhaps some good things do come in small pack¬ ages, but you can’t complain about some of the large ones. Born: Somerville; February 18, 1918. Hobbies: Knitting. Activities: Thrift Association. Scholastic Intentions: Chandler. Ambition: To travel. ANTOINETTE FRANCES TARQUINEE “Tarky” is one of the smallest and shyest girls in the school—you know, one of that “Silence is a Virtue” type. But her friends say different! She is always ready to join the fun. In spite of her modestness, “Tarky” is interested in athletics. A dainty, lovable person is “Tarky.” We expect to hear of her successfully in the height of a brilliant career, no matter what her line is. Born: Winchester; February 18, 1917. Hobbies: Knitting, designing clothes. Activities: Class hockey. Scholastic Intentions: Woodbury’s College. Ambition: Designer or aviatrix. GERALDINE MURIEL TAYLOR Jerry, also known as the girl with a thousand faces, has been going around all year in a fog—maybe it is that fellow from Lynn—who knows? We have learned that Jerry has been working upon an invention to do one’s homework by machine. Here’s wishing you luck Jerry, we know you will have many fans with you. Jerry has also been working to form a club known as the “Bet¬ ter Hair Growing Club.” We know Jerry will succeed in anything she undertakes. Born: Cambridge; October 12, 1916. Hobbies: Skating, bowling. Activities: Red Cross; Dramatic Society. Scholastic Intentions: Bryant and Stratton. Ambition: To shrink to Frannie O’Neil’s height so people won’t call us Mutt and Jeff. DONALD KERR TEAD Donald Tead has several interests in life, and all of them are railroading-. When it isn’t meal-tiine, you can find him at a railroad station; he can tell you the number, make, kind, condition, officials—and maybe the passengers of every train going—or standing still. “Choo-choo” intends to go to Amherst next year, and afterward fulfill his choo-chooing ambition. We’re not worried about his future—with a one-goal mind like that, could anyone go wrong? Born: Phildelphia, Pa.; March 5, 1918. Hobbies: Stamp-collecting, railroading. Activities: Executive Board of Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Amherst College. Ambition: Railroading. MARGARET ELLEN THOMPSON Peg has dignity, poise, and good taste. To the casual observer she seems to be very quiet and reserved but those who know her better will vouch for her merry sense of humor. Peg sometimes regrets that she is the daugh¬ ter of a minister, because everyone looks at her as a good example and she can be very different! However, we can truly say, “Tranquility! Thou better name than all the family of Fame.” Born: Newton; August 7, 1918. Hobbies: Swimming, roller skating. Activities: Dramatic Society; Class Basketball. Scholastic Intentions: Boston University. Ambitions: Respectable but undecided. RODERT DONALD THORNTON Bob has been too busy since he entered school to waste time in talk so we are forced to let his record speak for itself. Yet there is one thing about him ab¬ solutely incapable of being neglected—his unerring, im¬ peccable, outstanding taste in cravats. And another thing, don’t be frightened by his stern countenance; it’s his only defense against a soft heart. Born: West Somerville; August 10, 1917. Hobbies: Music, tennis. Activities: Class Treasurer ’32; Treasurer Dramatic So¬ ciety ’34; Red Cross; Class Play Committee; Chair¬ man Prom Committee; Manager of Baseball ' 34. Scholastic Intentions: Amherst College. Ambition: To wear an Amherst varsity letter. EIJXEST TOMPSON Frank, g ' ood-natured, a quiet member of our class— that is Ernie. “The best friend we can possibly have is one who arouses in us the highest ideals; who can make us do our best in everything; who never speaks ill of anyone; whose mind is clear; and whose words are truth.” We predict that before long he will be waving a baton with vim, vigor, and a sureness that only an expert pos¬ sesses. Born: Woonsocket, R. I., March 28, 1916. Activities: Gym Team; Class Basketball; Dramatic So¬ ciety. Ambition: To own a successful string orchestra. JOHN FELCn TWO: rBLY A future scientist! Efficiency personified; and, along with efficiency, promptness, neatness, accuracy, dependa¬ bility, and all the other requisites of an A No. 1 scientist. But besides this, Johnny has a sense of humor, admires a well-turned calf (in spite of himself), and, though he goes to church, makes sure he gets plenty to eat at the Sunday suppers. In other words, Johnny’s distinctly all right, despite his serious mien. He is one who is “Say¬ ing little; thinking much.” Born: Winchester: February 11. 1918. Hobbies: Stamps, experimenting. Activities: Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Tufts or B. U. Ambition: To teach Mr. Alley the Einstein Theories. PAY EUGENE UNDEUvAVOOI) He fixes you with a literary stare and ends “There¬ fore, the proculutor promulgated prolifically, understand?” Or again, “But Mrs. Stacy, I believe you’re incoi-rect as to that date—” Oh yes, Ray who dips deep into the clas¬ sics, history, travel and literature which tends toward the “highah things of life.” However, there always seems to be time for his grand slamming and terrible punning. His ambition? What could “an illiterate plebian” say to it except “You’ll be a man, my son.” Born: Flatbush, N. Y.; Feb. 4, 1917. Hobbies: Canoeing, sport page. Activities: Highlights. Ambition: To bitch my wagon to a star and keep striving to reach it. JOHN VESPUC( J When we think of Sonny we have to use superlatives for he is most willing, most helpful, and most sympa¬ thetic. We can always rely on Sonny to help us out in an emergency, whether it is going to the lunch room to smuggle some food to us or in fini hing a page of typing for us. Have you ever noticed how red his ears get when he becomes embarrassed or when he is scolded? Born: Winchester; August 28, 1917. Hobby: Hockey. Activities: Class Basketball; Thrift Ass’n; Gym Team. Ambition: To tour Europe. ROr.ERT J. WTNTON, JR. Rob Winton aims to be the future John D. of South America. We hope that when he does, he will come home to Winchester to partake of his favorite mistake, golf, and, being a “John D.,” will get his slice out of it. One of Bob’s strange mannerisms is the powdering of his pro¬ boscis—nose to you. Rob says it takes the shine off. What’s a shiney nose a sign of? Oh, Yes! being out in the sun too frequently. Born: Winchester; November 8, 191(1. Hobbies: Fly-fishing, golf. Activities: Class Play Committee; Manager of Track: Science Club. Scholastic Intentions: Dartmouth. Vocational Intentions: Corporation lawyer. MARY WORTTTEN Mary’s hobby is music (she also likes mushroom soup and blonde moustaches). She is a very good pianist, both of classical and popular music. When she sits down at the piano—you know the rest. You should see Mary fancy skate! It’s astounding. And such poise! Nothing rattles her. we’ve found—to our own dismay. That cught to be an asset on the stage, whence Mary plans to oust Cornell and Barrymore from the hearts of millions. With all her experience in the high school, she should do it, too. Born: Concord, N. H.; August 27, 1918. Hobbies: Music, skating. Activities: Class Play; Class Basketball; Dramatic So¬ ciety. Scholastic Intentions: Wellesley. Vocational Intentions: Actress. STEAHXS WV.ArAX Stearns is a social satellite who works seven nig ' hts a week and talks about it six periods a day and in the locker-rooms before school. He has a g ' ift for appear¬ ing: to pay attention in class while he’s dreaming of the girl in Allston, but in study hall he makes no bones about getting his lost sleep. All kidding aside, Stearns is what is termed a “good egg,” latent propensity and all. And be sure not to err by misinterpreting his birth¬ day; remember that Shakespeare said that fools are really wise men. Born: Winchester; April 1, 1917. Hobbies: Swimming, stamp-collecting. Ambition: To own a Packard. ARTHUR FRAXCLS CALLAITAX “Rip” is one of those clever fellows who has learned the difficult art of successfully drawing pictures in mar¬ gins without attracting the wrath of the faculty. His technique is immense since he can etch Martian scenes and still make the teacher think he’s doing home-work. His ambition is to build a house so he can paper the walls of the downstairs with his collection of timetables and then decorate the upstairs with ticket stubs. Other¬ wise he is perfectly normal and has a sunny disposition. Born: Winchester; September 15, 1917. Hobbies: Collecting timetables and ticket stubs. Ambition: To take a trip to Mars. HOWARD JOHX COSGROVE Red is very typical of something or other—can’t re¬ member just what. He seems to have a certain amount of steadiness in his character, for he has kept that job at the First National for over two years now, and has been promoted, too—stock-taker! He is not exactly oblivious to the fair sex. He actually arrived at the home of a certain sophomore without her permission— and was sent home. He fell hard for a little blonde this winter. Then the show moved on to New York! Born: Cambridge; October 22, 1915. Hobbies: Pool, billiards. Activities: Freshman Football; Freshman Basketball. Vocational Intention: Drive Bangor-to-Boston truck. AVILLIA] r BARTHOLOMEW COSTELLO When we heai- of William we think of William the Conqueror. Secondly, when Bartholomew strikes our ear, we remember the Saint of that monniker. But when someone mentions Bart, we think of Bart, no other. Some say he’s lazy, but they’re wrong. He just doesn’t like to hurry, because that tires him out. He’s easy to get along with, he never goes too fast. All in all, Bart’s a good egg, with no ego. Boim: Winchester; March 3, 1917. Hobbies: Gardening, skating, matching nickels. Scholastic Intentions: To graduate. Vocational Intentions: Easy work. Qur Instructors ] rR. Albro lias made Latin, never an over-]K)pn]ar subject, cease to be a boring class. A string of unanswerable wisecracks directed at whomever is struggling throngii an es])ecially bard translation, manages to make all the imjiortant ])oints remain with ns. i Ir. Albro has been to the Phili])pines; and with a little encouragement, he relates amusing incidents about them. lie M ent in for horse-back riding in a big waj’ there, and names it as a hobby. IMight be mean on iMeriy-go-Ronnds? He doesn’t look like a “Bertram A.” should look at all—jirivately Ave think of him as “good ol’ Bert.” IMiss Eleanor Allen, avIio was only last year a lowh’ member of the student body is now the very imjiortant assistant in the office. It must seem strange to be on an eipial footing Avith onr most reverend faculty. She says the jiart of student life she misses most is the vacations. We can understand that. She makes a cheerful addition to the office though, Avith that hair. Slie doesn’t seem like a teacher—too young—and Ave’re ahvays meeting her at dances—the Prom for instance. She ' s so efficient in the office though, that she almost frightens ns—almost. Altogethei- a Avorthy addition to our faculty. i rR. Otis Alley, avIio has a great stoi-e of knoAvledge in everything from magicians’ tricks to jierforniing autojisies. undertakes the task of trying to convey some of this vast store to his jiujiils in biology, chemistry, and jihysics. IMany of his students have judled doAvn honoi’ grades in college boards; aiul Ave’re inclined to think at least jiart of this honor should go to IMr. Alley. His favorite jiastime as near as Ave can tind out is discoAU ' ring things Avhich aren’t in NeAvell ' s text book. We ' re all Avaiting for your oavu book to la jiublislual, : Ir. Alley. Miss Frances Gage Aijjson oats, flunks, s]ieaks, and dreams Siianisli. Avhile Latin, liei- lesser love, jilays the provei ' bial second fiddle. She mixes pleasure vith 1 nsiness by telling ' stoi ' ies about one of her many intere.stin ’ summers sjient in Sjiain. It is certainly marvelous to study under a teacher who understands that her pnjiils are very interested to know the results of tests and tlu ' refore conscientiously jiresents their marks the following ' day. i Iiss Allison is of the (piieter ty])e, as her diminutive size would seem to ne¬ cessitate. But when it comes to Spanish, she is as emphatic and declarative as Xa])oleon himself. Marion Bailey teaches English, but is also the guiding light of the Biamatic Society and can ontknit anybody in this school or elsewhere. Her s])ecialty this year was the excellent direction of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H. i I. S. Pinafore,” produced for the jileasnre, which was intense, of those who enjoy their works. Her ])ersonality and voice are both exuberant and tre¬ mendous. The success of the Dramatic Society, ' without a doubt, depends upon the terrific amount of energy which she exerts and the stimulating courage and ambition with which she fires every member. Edward A. BartijEtt, being one of the most versatile members of the faculty, ju ' oves a most necessary assistant to Coach iMansfield as well as a teacher of bookkeeping and business arithmetic. He prefers baseball to tennis, most em})hatically, but all sports are in his line. Maybe you have noticed Bart is missing after the second period. Is it the public library, or just a driidv of water? i Ir. Bartlett ' s favorite haunt is the coach’s office. It certainly is some¬ thing to iiave sueh a sense of humor! iMiss Kuth Bennett is our most attractive-looking, efficient, understand¬ ing, and modern young ty])ewriting teacher who came to this school by Avay of IMaine, Chandlei- Secretarial School, and Atherton Hall, Boston. Her pet ])a.stime is reading; and, if we were casting her horosco])e we would say, among other nice things, that her accomplishing color is jiink (organd,v). She has a ])leasant knack of remembering little things about the .smallest of us, and we are quite convinced that it is her conqiany rather than the click of typewriters whieli draws ]ieo]ile to her room after school hours. iMiss Helen Bronson is such a busy lady! She has aeiiuired the extra¬ ordinary ability to make the most of every minute, and ' we never sa-w her eipial for getting things done. She is a graduate of Simmons and is the Director of the Commercial Department of the High School. Although born in Fall Kiver, Miss Bronson’s home is in Abington -where she has her little flower gai-den and her much beloved books. She reads anything from ]ioetry to Gregg IManuals. IMiss Bronson’s big blue eyes, daintiness, charm, and eon- tagious smile, can’t help but make her one of our most jiopular teachers. IMr. Joseph Brown, Jr., possesses an exceptional knowledge and love of French and we are most fortunate in reaping the benefits of his learning. He S])ent years in this country and abroad in acciuiring a thorough understanding of the French peojile, and their language and customs. He was formerly as¬ sistant ])rofessor of Romance Languages in AVestern Reserve University, Syra¬ cuse University, and Boston University. Besides having collaborateil in the writing of a delightfully “un-text-bookish” grammar and composition book which jiresents lessons in as enteiJainiug a manner as possible, he is an ac- conqilished tiller of the soil, and possesses a farm and a wife in AA ' eston. ] Ir. Arthur E. Butters, oui Cracker-Jack geometry teacher, and algebra instructor of the half-dazed Freshmen, is verv aidive in this veiu ' rabh ' institu- tioii. His vpi ' satility readies into many fields inelndinp: tlie Faenlty advisor of the Ti-affi( ' siinad, the Senior Prom eonnnittee and niakin ' himself i ' enerally efficient herdino- the flock of ei ' rants from the “cafeteria” wlio insist upon imnnin”- ai-onnd corridors before the tiling ' liell has ning ' . His activities do not terminate in school, as he is often seen at the tennis courts advisiiif - novices or playino- a hard-fou i ' ht match with some of onr aces. All that can he said is that we are glad to know “Hank.” iMiss Gertrude (Armich.vee, that noble lady with the commanding face lint soft lieart, is constantly on her job to do her best in running classes smoothly, and cooperating in general to keej) onr noses to the grindstone and not on the window-sills of rooms 86 and 87. But seriously, she does handle her first-period Latin cla.ss very efficiently, and we’ve heard she’s a wow at schooling the freshies in Algebra. What Ihis schodl has needed for cen- turdes is a good disciiilinarian for those several, scattered, wild freshmen, and in IMiss Carmichael we find both a discijilinarian and a coni])anion. IMr. Samuel Graves is the one teacher in the school who should have been a jiolitician rather than wasting his ])olitical talents in the—for the most part —unintelligent Problems of Democracy Class. The main reason he didn’t choose such a career was because, as his wife says, he is too honest. He is well liked as a teacher and individual, although he is extremely fond of fact-(iues- tion exams. He has a charming ])ei‘sonality and sense of humor, and we hope to always see him here when we visit the High School. IMr. Baymond Hayward’s likeness might be found on opening an Ancient History book, as he has the looks of a ty])ical old Roman. “Ray” Hayward teaches English, and is a faculty adviser of the “Highlights” staff, which literally couldn’t do without him. Mr. Hayward writes stories in his s))ai-e time, but he hasn’t yet found courage to publish them. When he can be persuaded to read one, his classes are an ai)i)reciative audience. Although he is said to be able to be aroused, we’ve always seen him as the humorous and likeable i)erson—companion as well as teacher. IMr. Robert M. Keeney, beloved by every student and better named “Fred Astaire-from-the-knees-down, ” was born in New London, Connecticut. He went to Amherst and has done graduate work at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, and has taught English in his inimitable style at Choate and Wallingford Schools in Connecticut, as well as in Newton High. AVithout doubt this “regular guy” who boosts all our s])orts, and is an actor })ar excellence , re¬ mains everybody’s favorite. The fact that this year book has been (h ' dicated to him is evidence of his overwhelming i)oimlarity with the s( niors. Ifesides smoking his ])recious ])ipe—“out of bounds,’’—Air. Keeney l ives with his charming wife and two childi-en at 8 Chesterford Road. His rei)utafion as a taj) dancer is unparalleled in the history of the school—(his best steps being usually trotted out in the middle of a 8hakesi)earean tragedy,)—and his grand success as a teacher is another item to go under the name Robert AL Keeney in the 19-I() edition of “Who’s W’ ho in the Educational World.” Hazel Celina Kingsley is our new art teacher, and has been jn-ononm-ed by all who know h( r to be “extr-emely O. K.” She is, however, all art, through and through. Having attended both a high school of piaictical art and Alassachusetts School of Art, she has already taught in two other Alassa- chusetts towns. Her hobby is watei ' -color sketching, and even her ambition tends toward art. She hojies to travel so that she may have many subjects for her work. But we so hope that this will not interfere with her most satisfactory work among our art students. ] riss Ethel Knowlton is tlie name of the attractive teacher who Imrries around l)a])hlino- Erencli to everyone. Part of her ' radnate work was done in France, and slie makes interesting ' references in liei- teaching ' . Living ' in one of tile Stetson Hall apartments, slie receives many visits from students—■ and that’s something. Miss Knowlton’s hohby is discussing her philosojdiy and ])la,ving golf. She writes letters for the fun of it and tears them up, likes hamhnrg cooked in her own way, and hates red fingernails. Her tastes are all very definite, and in clothes they are something for all the girls to envy and boys to admire. Mr. Otis Leary, who for ])ast years has been the guide to ]irofessionalism for onr carpenters-to-he and odd-.jobbers, is most unfortunately isolated from the rest of the school, being located in the Junior High, where he teaches the ])ractical arts. This last winter Mr. Leary fell in line with most of Win¬ chester and took up Ping-Pong. And this reminds ns of the tennis game he pla.vs, which can he said to he as good as that of any member of the facnlt.v. Mr. Leary is a family man ; and therefore, happily for us, he will remain indefinitel.y at W. H. S. IMiss Adele Loysen is the basis of one of AV. H. S.’s claims to greatness. An All-American hockey player for two straight ,vears and a resident of Peacon Hill, who could ask for more? Since her arrival here, the girls’ varsity and intra-mnral sjiorts have become bigger and better than ever. The A. A. has also blossomed greatly due to her executive ability. The Ahiu- Devil Show runs off smoothly each year because of her guiding hand. She’s admired and liked by girls and ho,vs alike, by the latter because she doesn’t throw a hall like a girl. AVendell Doolittle AIanspield, friend, adviser, and confidant of every boy in the High School. He’s sympathetic and understanding, giving eveiw- one more than an even break at all times, yet shoAving no favoritism. This year, more than ever before, his teams have had courage and sportsmanshii), even in the face of over-whelming odds, besides giving substantial evidence of ])laying ability. The greatness of C’oach Alansfield lies in the fact that he is concerned with the good of all, rather than that of a select groiij), and yet is never too busy to neglect the good of the individual. Guniiild Nelson has been our ever-willing and always pleasant secretary for lo! these past five or six years. They have all gone far foo rapidly, and Ave are afraid that next year there may he no Aliss Nelson, for it is said that she is to enter a state of connubial bliss. During the years that Ave’ve knoAvn her, she has always, even while meting out ininishments, been one of the most ])opular nieml)ers of our faciilt.AL We Avish her everything good, Avhether she is in her home or school. It’s the least Avay in Avhich Ave can thank ami repay her for all she’s done for us. Miss E. Ct. Niven manages the cafeteria, and does it remarkably Avell—that means choosing food to jilease as many as is possible in a group of about seA ' cn hundred students. Aliss Niven also teaches cooking to the high school girls and at the end of the yeai- they certainly knoAV how to do more than boil Avater. This year the “Personalit.v” course has taught the senior class girls the “cor¬ rect thing to do.’’ The girls aa’Iio have taken this regret only that the hoys cannot be given a similar op])ortunity to better themselves. AIiss Eva Palaier, the ])leasant-spoken lady Avith gentle manners aa’Iio seems to tind a solution for everyone’s j)rohlems, yet takes no credit, is our Dean of Girls and head of the Alathematics De]iartnient. Aside from lab ' oring in order to ji ' et her classes in jiropei’ condition to face the deadly collep.’e hoards, and fi ' nidin‘ : ns to our j)ros])ective oals, she also is a johnny-on-the-s])ot with a casual needle for those who have runs in their stockinj s or as])irins for those with headaches. There ' s somethin ’ every school cannot do without, and ours is certainly IMiss Palmer. IMiss Florence A. Parker, what would the l enior ( ' lass do without her? In fact, what would the school do without her? AVe don’t dare to j)redict! As one of our English teachers, Aliss Parker is returning next September to begin her lOdrd year of teaching. (She does the counting). She has the knack of getting peo]de to work and making them like it. Miss Parker has a w’on- derful sense of humor, although she tries to hide it from us sometimes. l ut we know it’s there. Lenna H. Peabody, gentle readers, handles very efficiently the .job of guiding onr motley throng over the path to “Success in P)iology and Alathe- matics. ” Every morning she may he seen rolling up to our stately gates in her shining black Plymouth—and a very “slnrjiy” job it is, too! Her gentle nature is the distingui.shable (piality which has so far been unrivaled around this sedate building. AYithout her beaming face glowing fondly at us from over the desk-to] and her sincere cooperation, we would most certainly flounder in math and biologv. Stav wdth ns. Miss Peabodv. AIiss Marion Proctor, between classes of geography and shorthand, dreams of snowstorms and resulting week-ends of skiing. Between classes of shorthand and geography, the Traffic squad takes great pleasure in telling her where to get off when she, making use of that privilege the teachers seem to take, w’alks independently up and down the middles of corridors and stairs. In sjiite of her diminutive size, she manages to terrify her study halls into meek sub¬ mission, and by the very ferocious illusion she creates about herself, she stares off an army of masculine admirers. If she skiis as well as she helps the faculty play basketball, she must be a SAvell companion on a week-end in the White Alountains. AIiss Lillian Shea has already become firmly established in W. II. S., and we hope that she continues so. Never having been in her English classes, we don’t know how she runs them. However, we susjiect that there is no loafing, if they’re handled as is her family in Saugus. AVe do know Aliss Shea from encounters in study hall, and because we came out on the short end, we also remember her from one afternoon spent in her room. She is a great believer in the “little birdie” metbod of receiving information about ])U}nls, information which she springs at op])ortune moments to the jiupils themselves. AAffi know! AIrs. Stacy, who was born in Bridgewater, Alaine, and who was graduated fi’om Colby College, is one of the best loved teachers in this school. She is more or less everybody’s “mother confessor” because of her swell sense of humor, interest in everything we do in school and out, and sympathetic nature. If one visits Room Ifl on a lovely sjn-ing or early summer day, one is sure to hear something about her feviuhsh anxiety To get out and play some of “that good golf” with Air. Stacy, with whom she lives on Alyrtle Street. Looking- back, years from now, we shall remember her as a teacher-inipil, with whom we felt very much at home in both lighter and more serious moments. Glass S istory = oc o QN a brig ' lit, sinin.y afternoon earl_y in Se])tenil)er, 1981, Ave, one Inindred and ninety-fiye freshmen, invaded the Higli School. The ' irls, of course, were tryinji ' to act extremely so})liistieated. “They were ‘High School Students now!’ ” l)Ut the boys just dashed in and dodged the faculty, feeling that they Avere ery fortunate to get that far. It took ns (juite a Avhile to ada])t ourselves to the two-i)latoon system, but AA ' e dually settled doAvn Avhen the novelty wore off and elected for our class leaders: President . I ' ice I resident Secretary . Treasurer . .... Richard Elliott LaAvrence PairstoAA ' . Robert Howe .... Robert Thornton Des])ite onr handicap of not being able to participate in varsity sports, Ave insisted on having our oavu extra-curricular activities. The boys had a football team and Avon their numerals. During the basketball season onr girls earned their numerals by defeating the ujiper classes. By the time June came around our hat sizes were considerably larger, and Ave felt very confident of doing big¬ ger and better things the next year. Our entrance the second year was a little more sedate and mucli calmer. We started on more solid ground, as the school was running on regular schedule. AVe Avere dazzled Avith the bright lights and mirrors of our neAv auditorium; we immediately decided to be Tarzaus Avhen Ave visited our spacious new gym, Avith its marvelous ncAv e(pupment and locker rooms, and our appetite increased by leajAs and bounds Avhen we Avalked, as if in a dream, into onr loA ely, clean, and shiny lunchroom. AVe Avere very interested in elections this year as we noAv had the chance to shoAv the upper classes of Avhat Ave were capable. As a result of careful con¬ sideration, we chose as our “builder-up]Aers”: President . Roger IAoaviis Adce l resident . Charles DaAus Secretary . Natalie Stevens Treasurer . John Hanlon That year aa ' c were delighted to find that Ave were to have a neAvsj)aper Avith Lucy FoAvIe as first Editor-in-chief. This was named, as a result of a con¬ test, “The Highlights.” This little five-cent jmper ])rogressed with amazing rapidity. Aside from the entertainment it gave us, it also submitted a chance for all the classes to jnit before the public their Avriting and business manag¬ ing abilities. This year Ave boasted of sev eral varsity members, three of Avhom hav ' e i)een ca])tains. They Avere: (Jretehen Cleaves, Janet Spencer, Lyman AlattlieAvs, Albert Caum. The A. A. became very active this year and ])roduced a vaudeville shoAv. The Avhole school Avas awakened to the heretofore hidden talents of our felloAv students. Presenlly Ave Avere full Hedged diiuiors, just a year behind the senioi-s and two ahead of the freshmen; Ave felt just as big as tlie seniors, and kneAV that Ave AV(‘re, in one way or another. ] y row eloc ' tioiis wei‘( ' an old tliinfi’ witli us; Ave had exjtei ' ienc ' e and a,s a result of j ' ood souse of jiidguieut, this time the fortunate, or unfortunate ])eo}de ehoseu were : President . Viee President Seeretary . ' ih-easurer. Ewart liairstow . Thomas Aldrieh .... Evelyn Corey AValter Josei)hson The Junior-Senior (Jass play this A’ear Avas the comedv, ‘ Laiifi ' h That Off!” AV e Avere enlig ' htened to the fact that Ave had a second Greta Garbo or Anna Sten in our midst, in the ])erson of Alary AA orthen, avIio played a major ])art. This year our football team, captained by AndroAv Eentine, Avon tln Alid- dlesex League Championshi]). There Avere several of our hoys and girls on the first A’arsity teams iioav. It was this year that Dave Grosvenor came out in the limelight after getting seriously hurt in a football game. He has stayed on the front pages eA ' er since. There Avas another grand and glorious vaudeAulle shoAV. Our A. A. had acquired the res])ect and admiration of the toAvn’s people, Avho turned out very Avell indeed, thus putting over the sIioav Avith as great a success as could be imagined. Then the A. A. had a feAV more tricks up its sleeve. One by one they came into vieAV, in the form of afternoon and evening dances, Avhich Avere (juite po})ular. Three cheers for the A. A. officers along Avith Aliss Loysen and Air. Alansfield. In the summer of 1984 Ave practiced bossing our smaller brothers and sis¬ ters and the neighborhood childi’en, just as a little Avarniing up for the fall Avhen Ave Avould have our turn at making the freshmen miserable. Out of a very ])romising group of seniors, Ave chose the following as our ‘‘trail Ldazers” for the last gloriously happy, yet soniehoAV sad year in Avhat has come to mean a lot to us, more than some of us realize—our beloved high school; President . ATce President Secretary .. Treasurer . .... Joseph Cassidy . Jack Hanlon .. Natalie StCA ' ens Priscilla Danforth AA e also elected Gerry Gatt ' ney as ])resident of the A. A. He, Avith the aid of his staff, and the whole student body, kept up the reputation of the A. A. for the Avonderful Aunuleville sIioavs. The auditorium Avas packed beyond its capacity, and many, unfortunately, Avere turned aAvay, despite the tAVo i)erforniances. Our Cla.ss i)lay, ‘‘Nothing Put The Truth!” Avas very successful, because of the tireless efforts of an ambitious cast and Air. Hines. It Avas thoroughly enjoyed by eveiyone and made possible our ])rom. Among the participants Avere: ] ol) Dotteji, Alary Worthen, Alary Hall, Phyllis llartAvell, Evelyn Corey, and Aiuriel Little. Jack Hanlon and Gerry Gaffney’ cajitained our football team through an¬ other successful chanqiionshi]) si ' ason. AA e added tAvo lunv stars, both center-s, to our team, Joe Cassidy’ and A1 Gaum. Ab)u knoAV the names of the othei-s by’ heart noAV. The girls’ hockey team Avas captained by Gretchen Chuives, and enjoy’ed a A’eiy good season. Then the basketball team Avas captained by Jaiud Spencer, star of the ]irevious y’ear’s varsity s(piad. Plans for our prom to be held on Alay ' 11, jirogressed rapidly’. The senior ])roin coininittee consisted of: Ewfirt Eairstow, Priscilla Danfortli, George Itillinan, Pobert Thornton, and Gladys Monlton. The gym was decorated in rainl)ow style, very heantifnlly hy onr interior decorator and social workei ' , I’riscilla Danfortli. The Patrons and Patronesses were l Ir. and Mrs. Cassidy, l Ir. and ] Irs. Provinzano, and Mr. and Mrs. Grindle. AVith niy last breath, 1 want to give thanks in behalf of all my fellow classmen to onr faculty, avIio have been so encouraging and such true friends and inspirers to ns during onr four years here. As these pages go to ])ress, they lack the last chapter, onr graduation. Although my Aveak attempts to record history will probably fade from your memories and these ])ages, that last chapter will remain as long as we live among our sweetest memories. Dorothy Goodhue.

Host Eccentric : Grafton Abbott and Ramona Fenton seem to be having a terrible time in this hectic world of ours, but never mind, yon never can tell fromt where yon sit just how your iiictnre is going to look. Hottest Tempers: T. N. T. is tame compared to onr two bright spots Sue IMcGonigle and Bob Howe. Quietest : “Silence is golden.” Anyway Peter Cornwall and Rita Sheehan think it is a good motto.

ItiGGEST Eaters : Bai’bara IMarchant and Joe Jose])hson certainly shine when it conies to fe ' ding the inner man.

Most Dependable: Dotty Glidden and Richard Elliott will be right there on the spot with the goods every time. Laziest : Can’t say much about Riithie Aseltine and Graham “Bus” Peterson because they never do much to tell about, nevertheless, we are sure that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Biggest Bluffers: John Doherty and Barbara Berry are the class prevaricators. Most Athletic : We’ve all seen Steamer Hanlon and Dotty Glidden in action, so that is all that is necessary.

Hayward and iMr. Keeney are like the Siamese twins, one right after another. AYho Has Done The Most For The School: The credit goes to Ruth Rennert and Richard Elliott. Greatest Need: Our laziest and slowest members evidently were out canvassing votes for an elevator. Also some with chimneys through their heads decided that we needed a smoking room.

This is ample ])roof of my ))Overty, 1 should think. i Iy ]n‘esent financial condition is due to the Federal LaAvs, State TaiAvs, Comity LaAVS, Corporation Laws, By-LaAvs, Brother-in-LaAvs, i Iother-in-LaAvs, and OutbiAvs that have been foisted upon an nnsus- ])ecting ]niblic. Throngli the various Laws, I have been held doAvn, held u]), Avalked upon, sat on, flattened out, and s(]ueezed dry until 1 do not knoAv Avhere I am, AAdiat I am, or Avhy 1 am. These LaAvs com¬ pel me to jiay a merchant tax, capital tax, stock tax, excise tax, income tax, real estate tax, anto tax, gas tax, light tax, cigar tax, street tax, syn-tax, and car]Aet tax. The Government has so governed my business that I do not knoAV Avho oAvns it. I am suspected, ins])ected, disresiiected, examined, re¬ examined, informed, required, and compelled until all I know is that T am su]Aposed to ])rovide an inexhaustible siipjfiy of money for eA ery known need, desire, or hope of the human race; and because I refuse to donate to all and go out and beg, borrow, and steal money to giA ' e away, 1 am cussed and discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, held u]) and robbed, and held doAvn and robbed, until I am nearly ruined; so that the only reason I am clinging to life is to see Avhat the heck is coming next. Yours truly, h ' oherf Thornton. Thus, in reducing taxes, I shall be aiding such unfortunates as the writer of this letter. I shall pay the Bonus. I shall not only ])ay the Bonus but I shall double its size. Nothing is too good for the saviors of our country, so I say. 1, my¬ self, was one of the first at the recruiting station, bnt a serious malady jn-e- vented my acctqfiance. OtherAvise, 1 should have died Avith joy for my country. I shall also ])rovide for an old age ])ension of four hundred dollars jAer month. There shall be an unemployment insurance. For the i)ayment of one dollar a year, a Avorker aauU be insured for one hundred dollars a Aveek. Thus Ave shall protect the unemployed during future years. 1 shall raise the ])ay of all Federal eni])loyees, including that of the President, so that aao aauII no longer sulfer the ignominy of having baseball ])layers Avith larger salaries than that of our chief executive. Speaking of baseball, all baseball, football, hockey, and i)ing-])ong games Avill henceforth be open to the jAublic free of charge. Also, Ave shall be able to go to circuses, ride on roller coasters, and eat hot dogs at the expense of the (toA ernment. Schools Avill be run on the four-day Aveek-end ])Iau. The school day aauH be devoted to assemblies at Avhich previews of all the best pictures AA’ill be shoAvn, and dances, Avhei-e such orchestras as the Casa Loma, Kudy Vallee’s, Paul Whiteman ' s, and Kiiby Newman ' s will i)lay. Joe Fenner, Jack Benny, Eddie (kintor, Donald Tead, l eter Ck)rnwall, and other lo({iia(‘ions eoniedians will entertain. I shall increase our army and navy until they are second to none in the world. I shall have the navy large enough so that everyone may go on a week-end ciaiise any time he feels so inclined. The army shall be well-drilled in the art of ])arading and shall have the shiniest helmets, sna])piest puttees and biggest medals obtainable. West Point will be a training school for movie stars, crooners, and great lovers. Anna])olis will specialize in matrimonial courses. Now, my friends, ])erhai)s some of yon wonder how I am going to effect these revolutionary changes and still I ' ednce the taxes. It is a very simple ])rocedni‘e, my friends, very sim]:� le. All that is necessary is the jn-inting of fifty billion dollars worth of gold certificates. Why! Do not look so aghast. This is not inflation! Onr money will not be unsound. In fact, I believe that it will be the most substantial currency ever in use. To the ske])tical ones, I shall demonstrate this fact. Ilei ' e, 1 have a sample of the ]iro])osed currency. It’s an ordinary bill as far as looks go. But, as I said ])efore, this is very sound currency. Now for the proof, I shall re(iuire the aid of the young lady on my right. If she will please stand here and hold the ]mncil by its two ends, so. Now, with this bill, 1 shall strike the pencil here. 0. K. Here goes! You see, the ]ieucil is broken but the bill remains intact. Does this not conclusively ])rov e that the money that 1 shall have printed is sound ? So, my friends, thus shall I effect these changes. However, I will Ix ' heli)less unless I am su])ported at the polls tomorrow. If I am defeated, if my opponent wins, I fear for the worst. Who wouldn’t fear for the worst if he knew that a crook, a double-dyed liar, an unmitigated scoundrel was to control our destinies for the next four years. And every one of these terms is a correct term for my unworthy oi)])onent. I believe that the scoundrel is here in this room. Ah, there he is, the insidious scori)ion ! Look at him (piail under the gaze of an honest man. Yes, Frank C’arpenter Porter, you are that inveterate chiseler of whom 1 am talking. That’s it. Cower and blush, you rat. Youi- past has found you out. For years you have been posing as a re¬ spectable citizen, ])ut now 1 shall reveal all. I know that you are so low that you cheat little children out of their chewing gum wrap])ers so you can get “Dizzy” Dean’s book on “How to pitch”; while fellows like myself have to chew a minimum of two packs per day to accomplish that feat honestly. So, my friends, are you going to vote for such a suake-in-the-grass ? No, no, a thousand times no! You, if you have an ounce of reason, shall vote for me, a man who wouldn’t cheat anyone out of a nickel, if there was a dime to be had.

We are all very glad to have you with us on this occasion, the last time we as a class shall be together. Onr ])rograni deals with those influences, past and present, which have had their effect on onr modern edncational s ' stem. Now there is one snbject which has been neglected but which, because of its increasing importance must necessarily play a bigger part in education. The snbject I am referring to is science. Science is the greatest vocation of all, the one which is remaking the world today, the one without which there Avonld be no progress, and the one which is so rai)idly becoming the ])redominant industry of man. A scientist, less than a century ago, was considered an oddity. Unfor¬ tunately, that idea still persists in the nearly universal misconception of the scientific world of today. Scientist, the word, conjures up a picture of a little, old, wizened soul absorbed in meaningless experiments. In recent years, however, industry has taken a different view. But be¬ cause such recognition has come so late, it is not unnatural or surprising, that science in education is also far behind. Today all the prei aration of¬ fered for the study of the most beautiful things, life and its mysteries, is a one-year course in biology. And for the study which has to do with every blade of grass, every thing we wear, every food we eat—there is a one-year treatment which only begins to touch the surface of the subject of chemistry. And again ])hysics, suppl.ving the princii)le behind every engineering feat ever undertaken, is dispensed with in the same manner. Science is such a great ])art of modern life and will become such a still greater factor that it should be made more valuable as a study. As science in education stands now, only those who have chanced to become interested in it takes the courses. For these courses are not comj)nlsory but are electives; and therefore, many who might have been best suited for scientific work never find their rightful vocation. Science in its simplest terms is the study of change. There is only one constant, only one thing always to be. And that is change, lip to the present century there has been no systematized study of this onlj constant. Busi¬ ness, with its dejiartments of production, of sales, of advertising, at last is getting its de])artnient of change-making. Today no large industry can hoi)e to succeed without an elaborate research de]iartment. Business must con¬ stantly meet change. This depression has been a change. Business, vulnera¬ ble to it, staggered liefore this inevitable force and turned to science. Last year thousands of college graduates stepped out into a jobless world. But, consider this! From the iMassaehnsetts Institute of Technology, the greatest school foi- the study of change in the world, 85Vt of the graduating elass Avere immediately ]flaeed. This, in itself, is most significant, for it shows the position of importance that science i.s assuming in the niodeim Avorld. Before we go on, let us make sure of the term scientist. He may vary in occupation from a theoretical mathematical jfiiysiei.st, such as Ein.stein, who do(‘s all his Avork on ])aper, to the thousands employed in commercial laboiai- tories, testing products or researching for new ones, or to a simple technician. Tliey are all scientists. Remember, science is the discovery and study of classified knowledge. Treating ' scientists in a biological way, we iniglit say there are many families: physicists, botanists, chemists, mathematicians, and so on. Itiit there are two orders of science, between which it is very necessary to distinguish. First, there is jnire science; second, applied science. Pure science, as the term suggests, is free from all contamination of money and is fundamental because it has to do with the basic truths. In this field America has been disgracefully lacking. Only Russia has contributed less to scientific knowledge, on the basis of po]mlation. Not until the last five or ten years has the United States begun any real scientific study. IRit l)ure science is laying the foundations for future civilizations with no other aim than to contribute its little bit toward the progress of mankind. Einstein is a wonderful exam])le of a pure science man. All his theories ai-e of no ])ractical value, as you know if you have read any of them. But they are the l rt. Everest in intellectual value. Statisticians believe that only one person in a hundred is ca])able of understanding him. The general idea behind Einstein’s theory of relativity and on which are based all his theoretical calculations is interesting. Ilis relativit}’ we ma} ' illustrate simply. Imagine that an air])lane flying in a horizontal plane has a long hollow glass tube hanging ])erj)endicularly from it. And suj pose that a black ball is dropped down the tube while the ])lane is in full flight. Now to the observer in the jdane, the ball a])])ears to be traveling in a straight line—down. But to au observer on the ground, that ball seems to travel forward in a curve that arcs downward. That is, relative to the airman, the ball travels in a straight line; relative to the ground man, it travels in a curved line. Well, we say, the gi-ound man is more right than the other for he is observing the course of the hall fi ' om a fixed ])oint, and its path is really how it appears relative to such a ])oint. But here’s where Einstein originates his basic j rinciple. AVe are standing on the earth, the earth is rotating on its axis, the earth is re¬ volving a.bout the sun, the solar system is moving toAvard the star AAgas, and the Alilky AA ay, of Avhich it is a member, is flying from the rest of the thousands of galaxies at over 10,()()() miles per second. AAdio can say, reasons Einstein, what course that ball took? Certainly none of us can. The only judgment we have, then, is relative judgment. So, says Einstein, everything we know is relative to something else. One color is certaiuly relative to another; lime is relative to the motion of something, a clock’s hand, tlie earth’s rotation or revolution about the sun; velocity, therefore, is also relative; and so on with everything. That’s relativity. But don’t mistake me in believing Ibis to be the Einstein Theory of Relativity. It would be a similar case if the construction and function of an automobile motor were to be described merely by saying it ran on gasoline. AA hat is really Einstein’s theory, you and 1 will probably never knoAV. But perhaps this serves to illustrate Avhat is meant by ])ure research. It has no connection Avith monetary gain, but more like an intellectual study such as the classics, or art, or music. There is one more point, hoAvever, Avhich must be brought out in connec¬ tion Avith pure science. Every ])ractical device today is possible only because of the discovery some true scientist made y(‘sterday. AVell oA ' er a century ago, Faraday discovered that if the lines of force set 11]) by a magnet are cut by a Avii-e, a current is establislual in that Avire. ' I ' hat is, if we have a magnet and jia.ss a Avire by it, an electric current tloAVs in that Avire. P y ])assing this Avire, Faraday turned mechanical energy into WINCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY WINCHESTER electrical energy; and by reversing the ])rocess, lie was able to turn electrical energy into mechanical energ y. Little did Faraday dream then, however, that this basic truth he had discovered would soon become the foundation of an entire electrical civilization. For it is a fact that every generator, every motor, every induction coil, every electrical device exists only because of this discovery. And thus, a ridiculed man may work alone in his laboratory on a prin¬ ciple that has no ajiparent connection with the world and yet his discoveries may lead to a practical application in the hands of others. These other men are of that order of scientists known as applied scientists. A]i])lied science is industrial science, for it is ])rimarily concerned with turning scientific discoveries into profitable channels. America is far ahead in this science which is transforming the world. All the work of peaceful industry, the horrors of war, the compiest of disease, and advances in educa¬ tion, morality, and religion are the result of perpetual application of scientific facts. In the World AVar the German cause would most certainly have failed very early if it had not been for Haber, who ])erfected a process whereby nitrates, necessary to all explosives, could be synthesized from the air. The treatment of cancer by radium was an important discovery, but now Dr. Coolidge of the General Electric Laboratories, after much research, has perfected a tube which will produce as many electrons per second as a ton of radium, worth at the ju ' esent ])rices one hundred billion dollars. The reclamation of bromine from the sea is another example of applied science. This is the substance used in the manufacture of the ethyl gasoline we are using in our motor cars today. It is interesting to note how modern research Avork is conducted. For instance, the order given to the chemical department of the Dupont organiza¬ tion a few years ago ran in this vein: “AVhat is wanted is a finish to protect cars, furniture, and other finely finished objects. The paint must be as handsome Avhen it is applied as the finest f inish ordinarily used. Yet it must be capable of much more rapid apifiication. It must be capable of carrying color pigments or other coloring matter, so that various shades may be readily obtained—and these colors must not fade. AVhen dry, the desired i)roduct must be hard, so that it will not scratch, must—in this particular—be similar to glass. Yet it must have the other ])roperties of glass, lest it crack too easily. Therefore with its hardness it must be tough. Furthermore, it must be proof against the action of water, oil, grease, and such acids with which it might come in contact. It must not deteriorate under the action of heat or cold. Ice, snow, sunlight, dust, mud must leave no mark at all. And of course the product must be able to com- l)ete in ])]ace Avith the compounds now on the market.” Confronted with such a problem, most of us Avould certainly become in¬ curably discouraged and despondent. But these men were accustomed to ]mzzles like this. And, they Avere scientists. As a result of months of labor, of ])renieditation, and of failure, Avhere yesterday it recpiired 886 hours to ])aint an automobile, it noAv takes 12. There can be no (piestion of the benefits of such labor. And such is the story of a})i)lied science. Today some people are ridiculing the bloAving up of the atom. Without going into the details of the process, let me say that AAdien the energy in the atom is released and harnessed, one gram of matter—a nickel Aveighs five grams—one gram Avill give energy equivalent to 24 million horse poAver. The only thing sei)arating us at ])resent from the moon is fuel. Therefore, tliink twice before saying’ that this l)oiul)ar(lment of tlie atom is a waste of money. Tims we see that sci(‘nce stirs the imagination. And lastly science may well develop onr ])hiloso])hic thonght. For instance, during the study of science, we learn that the chance of there being another j lanet in the universe which will snp])ort life is one in millions of millions, and we learn that the chance of life, as we know’ it, existing on such a ])lanet, is also one in many millions. As Sir James Jeans remarked, in view’ of the fact that life is so limited and scarce, and that magnetism, radioactivity, or energy-matter changes ai’e eveiwwhere occurring- thronghout the universe, the universe may have been created for one of these to function in. Life may be an accident, a by-])roduct of the creation of the universe. Or, as all life contains the element carbon, it may be just a ])eculiarity of the carbon atom. Faced w’ith these discouraging facts and theories, Ave w’onder, des])ondently and despair¬ ingly, if anything w’e do is significant or of importance. At this stage in our thought, Ave suddenly have the ambition to life mean something in the uiiiverse; that is, w’e AA’ish to make life of more importance, raise it to a higher standing. Noav, all that becomes important is that Avhich increases man’s poAver and betters his jmsition. Our individual A’ictories are ])etty and of no consecinence, but the A’ictories of man over fire, sea, air, and next, ])erha])s, atomic energy—that ty]Ae of A’ictor}’ is the only important and Avorth- Avhile ty])e. Our aims should be to better life, and such accomplishments, hoAvever small, are the ini[)ortant ones. That is a conclusion Ave reach by an association Avith the facts of science. Onr thoughts are bigger, they encompass more and give dejAth to the })icture because AA’e see it at another angle also. These should be the real ideals of scientific sfud}’ and shoidd be begun early in life. Educafors all OA er fhe Avorld admif fhaf if is extremely difficult to keep abreast of the times. At ]Aresent, education is far behind science. But the ansAver is quite simple. Begin the teaching of science in the ])rimary grades AA’lien a ])U])il’s curiosity is at its greatest height. That is the time to develop this inquisitiveness AA’hich makes life interesting. It is also the time for an exploratory course; that is, a course to discover for AA’hieh studies a stiidenf is best fittetl. Then, those aa’Iio are apt and like the subject for itself, fiml their life’s work early before entering college. And 3’et they Avill not have to s])ecialize as they Avill have ample time to ac({nire a liberal, AA’ell-ronnded education. If Ave are ever to prepare students correctly for the Avorld, that time AA’ill come AA’lien, and only AA’hen, science is incorporated in their early study. Let them ha ’e this chance to become interested in the subject offering the greatest ojAportnnity today. AIIoaa’ them a broader vieAvpoint, gained through a lens Avhich shoAA’s everything in the light of truth and relative impai-tiality. I)i-ive home the fact that future Avars Avill not be fought at the front alone, that future countries Avill not be built by statesmen alone, that future crojAS Avill not be harvested by the farmer alone, but that the scieiifisf Avill be the supreme Avorker. Give all students the op]Aortunity to become a part of this business of organized change-making. Only theAi, Avill educational supjAly meet the demands of the Avorld. Kichakia S. Legiiokx. R omen in Industry IIROUGII tlie entire liistory ot ' workinji’ Iminanity, from the time of tlie elitf-chveller to the ])resent day, women liave ])]ayed an im[)ortant role in industry. But until the o])eniu ; ' of the nineteenth century, it Avas in the domes¬ tic sense, to iirovide food, clothing ' , and shelter, that the majority of women labored. Ti)nring the Colonial days, Avomen received no recognition as an economic factor in indnsti-y, arts, or literature. They had little opportunity for educa¬ tional develo])ment, and their interests did not extend beyond the duties of household life. The Avomen of this early jieriod spun, avoa-c, and bleached, made all the linen and clothes, boiled .soam made butter, cheese, candles, and count¬ less other articles necessary for everyday use. Generally speaking, these tasks Avere considered a part of their duties, and not a remunerative occupation, for the greater portion of the products Avas consumed usually by the family in which it Avas made. During the early stages of industry in America, few Avomen were employed, for the Avork necessitated too heaAw labor. With the furtherance of education and invention in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, women made their entrance into spheres previously unknown to them. Men Avith sufficient ca])ital for investment began machine production. The result Avas that, fro)n a narrow, unAvholesome life of field drudgery, of grinding flour, of spinning and AA ' caving cloth in the “front room”, Avomen turned to spinning, Aveaving, and seAving in the mills. At the beginning, in many industries, only a feAV processes of the work were done in the factories; the rest of the product Avas made by hand in the homes. I ' hus the change from the home to the factory Avas neither sudden nor complete. It often atforded Avonien an opportunity to combine their household tasks AA ' itli Avorkiug for pay. Yet the individual opportunities for Avomen AA re (luite limited; needle-Avork, ty])e-setting, hook-binding, household service, teaching, and working in mills Avere the principal occupations open to them by the middle of the 19th century. As the estahlishmeiit of the factory system became more comj)lete, and the iiiATntion of machines increased, work became concentrated in the factories, and the old household industries rapidly disapjAeared. In growing numbers Avomeu turned to factory work as it became ]U)ssit3le to acciuire a greater variety of possessions by Avorking for Avages than by producing articles by hand. As the factories greAv, they shoAved that goods could be turned out Avith greater ra])idity, chea])ness, and efficiency iii mass ])roduction. IIouscAvives found it more economical and coiiA ' enient to buy factory-made Avares than to spend hours making the same articles at home. The amount of work necessary in the home decreased, hut iri the factories there Avas a groAviiig demand for labor to ])roduce food, clothing, etc., in increased (piantities. ] Iany Avomen became surplus labor iii relation to the family. To them the factory otfei-ed means of supporting themselves and of contributing toAvard the family income. Often, the AAuiges of the men Avere not adecpiate to meet the needs of the family, and the earnings of women became a necessity. Steam, and later electricity, replaced Avater as the source of ])OAA ' er. Ncaa’ machiues Avere invented and iieAA ' products created. The factories develojAcd toAvns and cities, and these recruited Avorkers in various lines from the outlying country. Gii ' ls and young AAonien came to the factory toAvns from farms, many of them for the sake of being near libraries and schools Avhere there Avere better ojAjAortunities for self-culture. T p to tlie time of the Civil War, aside from factory employment, the posi¬ tions op m to women were restricted. Witli the departure of men for the front, and witli tlie economic conditions brought about at this time, a vast number of women were thrown u])on their ow n resources, and they flocked into trades for which they had little or no training—trades which previously had been considered the exclusive property of men. This stampede of women into various branches of industry not only revolutionized their ])lace in society, but it made striking changes in their social status. Customs of the old days had declared M ' omen’s work to be that of providing clothing, food, and shelter for the family within the home. For these duties an education was not considered necessary. As wage-earning women became a necessary part of the country’s industrial life, the more intelligent and ambitious of them were attracted toward the sjiecialized work, the professions, and they realized the need of educational op}mrtunities etiual to the facilities provided for men. A large number of women, vho were not wage earners, but who had been freed by machine pro¬ duction from long hours of work within the home, were, in their leisure, be¬ coming vitally interested in the events of the day. Tradition and prejudice, however, denied them a place in public life, in college, on the lecture platform, in competition with men. During the latter half of the eighteenth century, women struggled to break down the bars of higher educational prejudice. Since the days of the dame school, when teach¬ ing on a very limited scale, mainly in sewing and reading, was opened to women, they had made little advancement in the educational world. Elementary schools did not 0 ])en to them until the late eighteenth century, and then for but a few hours, at an inconvenient time when the boys did not occupy the master’s attention. Women educated in this manner found themselves unable to compete with men. None of the colleges opened their doors to women. In fact, the ability of women to succeed iu the studies of the college curriculum was doubted. But the founders of Oberlin College believed that women should have the same opportunities as men, and in 1833 admitted both on the same terms. Gradually, with the rise of the movement for universal education, came the exjiansion of educational opportunities for women, by the establishment of secondaiy schools and seminaries. Of the latter the most famous were the i It. Holyoke Female Seminary, established by Mary Lyon at South Hadley, iMassachusetts, and the Troy Female Seminary established by Emma Willard at Troy, New York. As democratic ideas made headway, there came a demand for a tyjie of secondary school for girls which should be supported by public funds and come wholly under ])ublic control. The secondary or high school spread rapidly and grew in public favor after the Civil War. These common schools carried a demand for teachers, and women came to be regarded in a new light. Aided in their fight b} economic conditions, and by the bre kdown of old customs, women began to adju.st ])ublic opinion to their changing economic status. Establishment of higher institutions of learning for Avonien found advocates in the nineteenth century. Vassar, chartered in 1861, and opened in 1865, was a pioneer in collegiate education of women. It raised the standards of academic and ])hysical training, of college eiiuipment and the ability of its faculty, so that it became a model for the women’s colleges that were estab¬ lished later. The tight went on, centei-ing around the right to vote, as this would help in the adjustment of other wrongs. The success of the suffrage movement may be measured by the immediate opening of higher educational opportunities to woiiirn and in tlicir oc(‘n])ati()iud advancement into tlie professions, into medi¬ cine, law, design, journalism, art, scnl]itnre, secretarial work—into every field of industry. ' fin ' same necessity for a sound education in the case of women as of men dn relation to economic and social advancement began to he ])erceived. The World Wai-, with its nnnsnal develo])ment and specialization of in¬ dustry in America, created 0 ]pK)rtnnities for women to enter new trades and occn])ations. Over the ]ieriod of a few months, the nation’s industrial organiza¬ tion was Avrenehed, and in the rapid shift Avnmen were absorbed by the iron and steel )nills, metal foundries, munition factories, chemical and research laboratories, and the other war-sni)ply units. Aerial warfare created a new industry for women, and it ex]Aanded those divisions of industry that produced the materials necessary for aircraft manufacture. In addition, an army of four million men had to be fed and clothed, and industry had to continue to supply the needs of those at home. Tills large increase of women in industry was not limited to the factory. Women school teachers increased by one third; thousands more women became nurses. Women’s entrance into office work, as secretaries, managers, stenogra- ]diers, typists, clerks, and bookkeepers, was s])ectacular. The men who were killed or inca])acitated by the Avar left permanent gaps to be tilled by women. Further restriction of immigration shut off the continuously fresh supply of Avorkers that had previously been available, thus offering increased opportu¬ nities for Avomen. Although many of the dramatic features of Avomen’s Avar acthdties have tlisapiiearcd, the range of their employment has permanently and tremendously increased. Overall-clad women turning out shells and guns are gone, but the number of Avomen operatiA es in electrical, chemical, and automobile i)lants has increased about 35,()()() during the past decade. The individuality of Avomen’s Avork, formerly ex])ressed in strongly-made clothing, Avell-eooked food, and delicately-fashioned quilts, has iioav been lost in industry l)y machine labor. Women have proved they can do Avork that no one had ever believed they co dd do, and they have become a ])ermanent ])art of oui- industrial life, Avitli ability being the determining factor in tlwir com¬ petition Avith men. The history of Avomen in industry has been darkened considerably by long Avorking hours, 1oa ’ Avages, and unsanitary conditions. Where manufacturing lU ' otits dei)ended upon loAv-cost ])roduction, many em])loyers juiid the loAvest Avages for Avhich it Avas jiossible to obtain Avorkers. In the early i)eriod of their entrance into industry, Avomen became active in a tight to better their Avorking Conditions. Excejit for limited organization in factory Avork, they made little ju-ogress until the World War, Avhen the nation sensed the need of protective labor legislation for Avomen Avorkers. This movement Avas aided by the fact that many jirogressivi ' emjiloyers, by running their ])lants shorter hours, pay¬ ing Avages liigher than those jiaid by competitors, and by establishing high, standards of safety and sanitation, proved that Avith proper management these steps were a detinite aid to production. State labor deiiartments, legislative committees for the study of labor conditions, social and civil groiqxs familiar Avith the jiroblems of Avomen in industry—all, have been instrumental in the passage of hnvs dealing Avith hours of labor, night Avork, minimum Avages, and imiirovement of Avorking conditions. With th(‘ severe deiiression of the pa.st feAV years, problems that Avomen Avorkers have ahvays faced have been intensified. iNIany of the gains obtained in good Avorking ( ' onditions have been lost. Low-paid home AVork and sAveat- shoj) work have increased. In order to preserve rapidly diminishing markets, inaiiufaetiirers tend to eiit Ava ' es, leii ’tlieii lioiirs, decrease industrial saidta- tion and safety, and employ workers on a part-tinu ' seale. Thus workers liave l)ee)i eompelk ' d to aeecpt inereasin ily lower standards of livi)i i’. States, realizin ' the ills eansed hy wages at starvation levels, have instituted miidniuni- wage laws. AVonien, often untrained for tlu ' work, thrown out of other ( nipIoyment, have tui-ned to doniestie and ])ersonal service. In this division of industiw, standards have always been low, and the rush of competition has forced work¬ ing conditions even loAver. The right of marric ' d women to woi ' k has been challenged, frecpiently ia - sulting in their dismissal. To many of them, this is es])( cially hard at this time when they have assumed the burdens of family supjiort, and theii- wage ' s have ' heeome a nieere necessary part eef life. The eeleler weeman has been the victim e)f increaseel competitieen, anel in many facte)ries, whe ' n lay-e)ffs eee-ciir, they fall nieest heavily een her. Even in the i)re)fessie)ns, where her value ' is in¬ creased with experience and she is met weeiai eeiit like a ])iece eef machinery, em- l)le)yment has become insecure, (tirls h ' aving high scheeeel and ceellege find that any existing eejeenings can be filled by meere ex]Kn-ienced workers. During this ])eriod of eceenomic upheaval im present standards have ' re- maineel secure. In an etfeert tee ]irevent the wage slashing and sweatsheep em- pleeyment, and to resteere beeth industry and workers freem the ravages of the de])ressie)n, the Natieenal Receevery Act was passed. States, sensing the neces¬ sity e)f ])reserving weemen’s i)]ace in inelustry, have added to the strictiu ' ss of their labe)r laws. While the right eef wanien tee enter inte) almeest every branch eef industry has been definitely accepted and while tlu ' y have won their fight for ecpial educational op])ortnnities with men, there has yet to be a readjustment tliat will guarantee social and economic security to every woman. SrsAN AIcGonigle. ransportdtions Qontrihutiovi to Education ODERN transportation is an essential factor in tlu ' twentieth century; for without this neoteric feature we would still be primitiv( ' , and ])rogress Avonid be much retarded. Ti ' ans])ortation is also an impoi-taid con¬ tribution to advanced education, for without convenic ' ut traveling facilities our students, who live many miles from any schoolhouse, would he unabh ' to attend aiyy institution of learning. This Avould cause illit( ' raey and would be a detri¬ ment to onr social order. With ])rivate transi)ortation we are all familiar, but about public traiis- ])ortation for ]nii)iis, financ( ' d by tax a|)])ro|)riations, the majoiuty of us know little. Public trans])ortation for ])U])ils was etfeetc ' d in our New England States about the middle of the idnet( ' enth eeutuiy. At this early date, our ancestors were not so fortunate as to ])oss( ' ss strc ' andined trains; but rather had to be content with an ox caih di-iveii by live horse power. This ox cart was not so comfortable as is our modern car. Also roads Avere anything but roads as Ave knoAV them today. In fact, Ave avouRI call a rural road of 1850 an abandoned lumber trail. In the rainy season, these antique ■v agons were unable to attempt any journey for fear of sinking Avheel deep into the mire. Communication at this early period was not just a matter of asking for a number. In fact, it took weeks or even months for news to reach the scattered settlements. Also inhabitants of the early towns were very conservative; therefore the progress of the somewhat radical idea of public transportation of school children was very much retarded. The principle of transporting pupils was brought about rather incidentally; for at this early period our forefathers had the foresight to see that scattered rural schools were only the first step toward civilization. After much delibera¬ tion they decided, in order to better educational advantages, to consolidate rural schools. When consolidation took place, two or more district schools combined into one central school. These men knew that the pupils living in the closed districts would be forced to walk, perhaps many miles; and the result would be loss of interest. Even though transportation Avas in its embryo state, the value of elevating educational standards out-weighed, at first, such trivial problems as transportation. HoAvever, Avith increased education, science Avas destined to advance means of traveling. Consolidation was inevitable; for the rural school housed pupils ranging from eight to eighteen years of age in the same room. The education of the teachers in such schools was often limited, else they would not be likely to occupy such positions. Under such conditions the improvement of learning was impossible. The centralized school possesses superior grading in the eyes of higher institutions, the subjects are tangible and rich in Amlue, and the pupils are confronted Avith life problems and rivalry. The result is that they receive a thorough elementary education from Avell-trained adAusors and are better able to enter the next step in learning. The methods of early transportation Avere, of course, sIoav and crude; but time crept oiiAvard, bringing with it advancement in this field. The transporta¬ tion problem seemed at first insignificant; but ever neAV problems came to the surface and aroused a great deal of public discussion. Laws had to be passed pertaining to the methods of transportation. The latter Avere A ery urgent and are even noAV debative subjects. In the early days only those pupils Avhose families were financially able to contribute their share towards the cost of transportation, traveled in wagons; while the less fortunate ones traveled by the means given to them by their Creator. In the year 1869 a New England State passed a laAV stating that tAventy- five per cent of the school budget might be used to defray transporfatioii ex¬ penses; other states soon followed this precedent, or proAuded that adequate appropriations Avere to be used for such an end. In a feAV years improved modes of traveling Avere perfected, and substantial records prove that con¬ solidation Avas a step towards modern civilization. This policy began to take effect in other states, although each locality found that the transportation problem was not one to be AA eighed lightly. Soon Amrious laAvs governing methods of transportation and covering transportation expenses AA’ere on file. As time passed on, science made possible Amrious types of couA ej’ances convenient for the transportation of pupils. The horse and Avagon sloAAdy moved into the background, and other vehicles took their place; and not until recent years have wagons been discarded. EA en noAV, in some regions, during the rainy seasons and Avinter months the horse and wagon is necessary to over¬ come existing conditions. Science in the latter half of the nineteenth century made possible trolley cars and railroads as a means of transporting pupils. By the year 1920 an entirely different aspect aa s evident in education. True, there AA’ere, and still are, scattered rural schools; hut methods of transportation had developed from tlie horse and ' vvagon to mechanically driven veliicles. We were headed in the right direction and i)rog ' ress was our chief tliought. States were now be¬ ginning t(, realize tlie value of transportation, and many contributed annually to their toAvns a sum which aided transi ortation expenses. In some cases where no schools higher than our eighth grade existed, the town contributed to the student, who was eager to attend higher institutions, the sum of money re¬ quired to send that student to the nearest high school. l Iany large towns, especially in the West, are able to purchase fleets of motor buses, because mass production has made the cost of these vehicles comparatively low. Whether there is one bus, or several buses, there is a fixed route for each. In a few cases the bus is compelled to visit each house; while in the majority of cases, it travels a main route and stops at specified places for ])upils who have the opportunity to travel at public expense; for each town designates the mileage that a student shall Avalk. At present, the cost of transporting each pupil is approximately fifteen cents per day; although this amount may be reduced if, as in some western towns, the teachers them¬ selves acr as drivers. The drivers must follow set regulations, and the vehicle is recpiired by law to be inspected regularly and to be kept clean at all times. Although there are many instances in the present “fast” age where pupils are forced to ride in buses over an hour each day, they have the benefit of being protected from the weather and are jjroperly supervised. Three hundred years ago we were a nation flonndering for democracy. Educational opportunity for all was impossible; in fact education for anyone was unusual. After our Revolutionary AVar, a few people began to realize that education must be included in our new program. “Little red school- houses” started after our Civil AVar, and soon wagons, heated in the winter months by soapstones, transported pupils. A ears slipped by and educational means for everyone were at hand. Educated men gave us modern safety vehicles in which our pupils might be transported. Now in the present year, we are not surprised to witness airplanes, streamlined trains, and even up-to-date ocean liners transporting pupils to various centers of education. In retrospect, the years now seem very short, but they represent toil and hnman sacrifice. Because we belong to this period of advanced civilization, we wish to do all in our ])ower to carry out the policy of equal opportunity for each individual. This is only possible by education. In order to increase intellectual attainment, and give as many as possible a liberal education, it is essential to provide means of transportation to those who otherwise would be unable to receive this wonderful opportunity. Although we realize that each dollar spent for this end, lessens the amount to be spent for instruction, for transportation has no direct educational return, we must, in order to be a progressive community, view expenditure, not from the economic standpoint but from its educational value. AVe must produce pupils who will be loyal and understand our Constitution; and our motto should be “Equalization of educa¬ tional opportunity.” Robert J. AVinton. Maledictory WOMEN IN THE HOME IE past three luindred years liave chaiio ' ed tlie home as radically as they have changed the high school. Science, industry, and improved methods of transportation have all aided in emanciiiating the home, and high school edneation has been a material factor in raising the plane of home life. AVe have progressed from ernde cabins and rongh farms to comfortable houses and apartments; from days of drudgery and servitnde to times of labor-saving devices and opjiortunities for leisure and recreation; from the days when women were snhmerged and had few rights to these days of emancipation and equality. The earliest homes of settlers in America were rough log cabins which were soon su])erseded by small frame honses. Most of the Colonial po])ulation lived in small farming communities and each farm was a self-dependent unit. The farmer did his owii earixmtry, blacksmithing, and tanning, while his wife spun, wove, and made all the family clothes and also soaj:) and candles. The main room of the house w ' as the kitchen with its huge fireplace for cooking and warmth, the Dutch baking oven, the sanded clai)board floor, guns hung over the mantel, a spinning wheel, a loom, cooking utensils, and so forth. Here the mother and daughters spun, wove, sewed, and cooked, and here also the father and sons made tools and ntensils. The whole family kept busy at various tasks all day long. Even the little children worked at planting and chores; they could sow seed, weed the flax fields, hetehel the flax, and comb wool. Girls of six conld spin. Boys had to rise early and do the chores before school ; after studying diligently all day, they had more chores in the evening. All the time out of school was occu])ied with bringing in fuel, cutting feed, feeding the pigs, watering the horses, picking berries, gathering vegetables, s})ooling yarn, sawing, wood-choi)ping, and making brooms, which they were able to sell for six cents apiece. The father wuis the nndis])uted head of every New England Colonial family; women worked as hard as the servants and slaves. On them rested the burden of endless child-bearing; for large families were the rule; ten to twelve children in a family were common, and families of twenty to twenty-five were not nnusual. As soon as one wife was dead of hard work, the husband mar¬ ried another to look after his family. Some Avonien had servants, either neighbor girls or poor children bonnd ont for service, and “old maid’ ' relatives who lived with the family helped out; but in S])ite of such assistance a woman ' s life in those days was one of perpetual drudgery and hardship. Cdnldren were well-loved but strictly brought u]); family discii line was whole-hearted but firm and severe. They were trained to obey their ])arents implicithq and all offenses and infractions were steridy ])unished. AA itliin the home the father and mother ])rovided their olfspring with industrial training and developed in them that most valuable habit—work. The youngsters had few idle hours and but little play time. AA omen in Colonial times had small op])ortnnity for education. Every town of fifty families was reciuired by law to maintain a primary school, and every town of one hundred families was recpdred to pi ' ovide a grammar school to i)repare boys for college. Girls were not sent to school to be educated. Occasionally they attended dame schools, where they were taught to read, to spin, to sew, and to knit, but they i-arely learned to write. Tlie} were some¬ times allowed to go to the town school, bu t onl.y in the summer and then in the early inoi-iiiiio ' ;nul late afternoon hours when the hoys were not using’ it. Kdneation foi- wonuni was (le])reeate(l l)eeanse nnni feared it wonhl make them less ea])alde housewives and mothers. Xearly all Colonial industry was carried on in tlie home. There were a few tionr-mills, hnt otherwise the peojjle themselves ])rodnced what tlu ' y needed. All cotton, linen, a)id woolen goods were made in the home. The wool was cai’ded, combed, and spun by hand and woven on a hand loom; the father was nsnally the weaver, ami the mother, unmarried daughters, and female de])e7ideuts Avere kei)t busy S])iuuiug yai’ii for him to Aveave into cloth, lu the middle of the eighteenth century John Kay invented the “fly shuttle,” Avhich eliminated the labor of throAving the shuttle from side to side of the loom by hand. This innovation speeded up Aveaving so that a spinning machine Avas a necessity; James Hargreaves in 1760 iin’ented the “spinning jenny,” and further inventions brought greater speed to spinning. The invention of the poAver loom by Edmund CartAvright in 1797 finally removed si)inning and weaving f]’oni the sphere of the home. In Colonial days families Avho dAvelt in toAvns were accustomed to pursue one industry, such as shoe-making, from generation to generation. The iii- dnstrial revolution of the early nineteenth century drove families to the fac¬ tories, and trades could no longer be handed doAvn from father to son. The revolution in the textile industry, Avhich began in England, spread cpiickly to America, and Avhen the Ncav England mills Avere opened, the first operatives were girls and nnmarried women to Avhoni the chance of earning money and at the same time of escajAing the drudgery of farm Avork seemed an opportunity rather than a misfortune. The industrial revolution gave much more leisure to Avomen, and this in turn led them into the factories. In the cities there Avere many changes in living conditions. After the 1820’s candles and oil for light gave Avay to gas in the homes; anthracite for home heating had ap])eared about 1815. By 1825 wood was replaced by coal in a large iiumber of homes. Eamilies began moving to the cities as the factories greAV. Thus more markets Avere created for the farmer. A iieAV interest in farming arose, and was increased by agricultural societies and improA’ed ma¬ chinery. Another adjustment for the farmer Avas forced by the coming of the railroads. The cheap transportation they provided made it inpAossible for Eastern farmers to compete Avith the new AVest in raising beef and corn, (’orn i-emained the agricultural back-bone of NeAV England, but the i)roduction of beef and pork declined. Earmers turned to dairying and truck gardening. Thus the family self-sufficiency was broken down by industry and improved trans|)ortation. City markets for agricultural jAroducts brougiit ready money to the rural districts, with new comforts and a higher standard of living for the farmer. During this period the jAosition of the Avoman in the home remained ])rac- tically unchanged. Children Avere alloAved much more freedom and amuse¬ ment ; girls were educated at day-schools or at home; but the married Avoman Avas still submerged and of no consecpience. In domestic obscurity she toiled to educate her sons; girls Avere important only for the AVork they could do. It Avas said of her: ‘‘Alarriage reduces a AVoman to a cramped subordinate ])osition. She is ex})ected to emhrace her husl)and’s religion, confine her ac¬ tivities to the home, make her husband ' s ])leasure her guiding star. Ignorant of her husband’s business, subordinate in the church, barred from politics, possessing scanty or silly education, it is Jiot sti’angc ' that she seldom aroused real sympathy in her husband. She did not have to think, hence natural light reading or ti’ifiiiig gossip satisfied her, that she accepted indulgence instead of justice, or even glorified in her degradation. ' ’ The duties of a Avife toward her husband were affection, reverence, and faithfulness. Eich and poor alike were skilled in the domestic arts and practical nursing. There Avere no ade¬ quate educational facilities for women; the only object of female education Avas to enable girls to attract men, gain husbands, maintain homes, and manage families. The husband was the legal head of the family, and the wife had practically no rights. Nevertheless most marriages were happy, morality Avas high, and there was marked domestic order and comfort. After the Civil War the struggle for women’s rights arose. Starting in the free West, it spread East until finally women had equal educational fa¬ cilities, business opportunities, and property and voting rights Avith men. Today the woman in the home is thoroughly emancipated from the abuses AA hich crushed her grandmothers. Houses are full of modern conveniences which are taken for granted; electric light, running v ater, up-to-date plumbing, gas stoves, the telephone, washing machines, and many others. Eepair AA ork goes to the tailor-shop, preparation of food to the delicatessen, washing and iron¬ ing to the laundry. Every woman has some leisure to enjoy radio, movies, reading, the automobile, and social and club life. The home has ceased to be a school of industrial training, and has become instead a potential recreational center. The family is the most important social institution. It molds the child’s character, teaches him social customs and traditions, and prepares him to take his place in the world. The right home environment is needed to develop the spirit of teamwork and cooperation which help the child in school and are essential in later life. Home and school AA ' ork together for the child’s benefit. In 1635 was established the first high school in America, the Boston Latin School. Its purpose AA as to prepare boys for college, Avhere they studied to become ministers; no girls Avere alloAA ' ed to attend, for they could never enter the ministry. Other Latin schools sprang up, and in all of them the classics, Latin and Greek, were the subjects most strongly emphasized. During the 18th century privately oAvned academies in Avhich English AAas the most important subject arose all over New England. These prepared both boys and girls for “the great and real business of living.” The academies flourished, but because these were given financial assistance by the states, public secondary schools did not increase. But the groAAdh of priA’ate secondary schools made people who could not afford it, long for an education; in 1821 the, Boston Classical High School was opened, the first public secondary school to express the purpose of fitting students for life as Avell as for college. Less emphasis Avas placed on the classics, while English became increasingly im¬ portant. Girls, however, AA ' ere still excluded. The high school movement, begun in 1821, did not increase rapidly in NeAV England. For a long time there Avas a nation-wide question as to Avliether tax- supported secondary schools Avere legal, but this Avas finally settled by the Supreme Court of Michigan in 1874. The function of the early high school was to giAe the student a chance to secure training to meet the practical needs of life; when girls’ colleges were established about 1870, girls Avere admitted to the high schools, and courses for college preparation for both boys and girls were demanded. In 1885 the New England Association of Colleges and Pre¬ paratory School Avas organized. AVhen colleges began to give other degrees than A. B., varied preparatory courses Avere needed, and the elective system Avas instituted. Today the high school authorities work to include in the curriculum the following advantages for the individual: health, a command of the fundamental processes, Avorthy home-membership, vocation, civic education, Avise use of leisure, and ethical character. A lar e percentage of tlie peo])le of the Thiited States have no education after ]iig-h seliooi. Tlierefore vliat they gain in seiiool nmst gnid(‘ tluan and aid them in tli(‘ir vocations, and intiiience tlu ' ir use of leisure tiim ' . Education is all-important; the few shoi ' t years of school fly by so ((uichly that we do not realize their value until tluw ar( gone. With one brief backward glance at the j)leasant four years, we leave high schoo l, looking hopefully and eagerly toward the future. We seniors, who tonight leave AVinchester High School forever, wish to express our gratitude to those who have guided ns thi-ough our four- year course. We are dee])ly and sincerely grateful for the opportunities we have had of working and ]daying together, and we wi.sh to thank all thost ' who have made possible our high school course. N.xnoy Hai.l. (presentation of (3lass keei)ing Avith the tradition of the school, it is our ])leasure to leave behind us something which Avill .show that we are ])roud to join the alumni of the Winchesttr High School. So with ])rogress as the watchword, the class of ll)d5 has selected as its gift an aipAliance which we believe to be a most important and worthwhile con¬ tribution to the e(pii])ment of the school. Education, like all wortlnvhile activities, has jiassed through a long stage of eA’’olntion. In earliest days, the stiubuits memorized their daily lessons from horn books and recited them orally in their classes. The first stc]) towai ' d ])rogress was the invention of the slate and charcoal ixuicil. Each stmhuit carried Ids slate on Avhich lu ' took down his lessons, Avorked them out, erasc ' d them, and started others. Next stationaiw blackboards Avere installed in the classrooms. The teacher Avrote on them in large lettei ' S Avhieh could he I ' ead by the students. About this time paper and pens and ink came into use in the schools. Lessons could now he written at tlie teaclu ' r’s dictation or copied from the blackboard. Hlackhoards ai ' e still considered necessary in most schools, but there is a tendency tOAvard the use of individual copies, esi)ecially of examinations. In fact, it has become eompulsoiy in this school foi- all formal examinations to be wi ' itten on individual pajmrs which are juissed to the students, hirioiis inventions have come al)out to aid in the speedy ])rinting of these individual j)ai)ers, but ])robably the most efficient of these is the s])eedograph. This contrivance makes it j)ossible for a A ' ast amount of Avritteii material to be tuianal out in a Aun-y short time. So, in kee])iug AA ' ith this modern ti ' end, our class has selected this speedogra])h to expre.ss the gratituch ' and atfection it feels toAvard the school. We like to think that this gift AA’ill sIioav the true s|)irit of the graduating class in that all its members have learned the value of ])i-ogress and pia - ])aredne.ss for the future, Avhieh is the main obj(‘ctiA ' e of all education.

When the startino ' whistle for the opening ' o ' ame with Sandals was blown, Ihe Winchester fans fonnd a team i ' ei)r( sentin i’ them on the field that was snr] risin ' ly light in the line, with tlu ' hackti(4d avei ' aging ahoid t(m pounds or moi’e to the man than the line. In this ijiitial game AVinchester enconnterc ' d unexpected o]iposi1ion, hnt it defeatcal the visitors to the Inm of (i to 0. 4 ' ln ' scoiang in this game was done by Fred AIcGormack who recovered a kick blocked by Walter .los(‘[)lison. The second game of the season was with the mneh heavier Arlington team. The score of this gann was l; to 0 with Winchester on the shoiT end. The Winchester team displayed a brilliant defens(‘ which made Arlington take to the air to score. The following week, Winchester had tin Lexington High School team as its opi)onents. The hall see-sawed up and down the field for three fnll ])eriods before Winchester conld weaken the lu avier Lexington eleven and pnt over tlii-ee touchdowns. The tries foi- exti ' a points wei ' e not snceessfnl and the score ended 18 to 0. The fourth game of the season was with Stoneham. This was a typical game with neither team showing any hihght spots dnihng the four peihods. John Scnlly scored for Winchester in tin ' s( ' cond pc ' idod, tlu ' final score Ix ' ing 7 to 0. Winchestei-’s fifth game was with the team fi-om the town famous since the days of the Levolntion, that is. Goncoi ' d. Wincln ' stc ' r passed np many a (‘hance to score in this game, and the S( ' ore ended in a deadlock 0 to 0. A journey to Helmont was in store for the Winchester stalwarts the fol¬ lowing week, and it was here that the locals received tln ' ir second s( ' t-hack of the season, by a team that was by far the nnder-dog at the staid. Belmont scored in the second jieriod for the only touchdown of the day, and the game ended with Belmont six jioints to the good. Plvidently this was Belmont ' s only win during the Ifi. ' U season as far as tlu ' Aliddh ' sex League was concerned. Goming into its own for its seventh game, AVinchester defeati ' d the AVellesley eleven. AA e were not able to play an ‘‘open” game against this team due to the fact that we also entertaiiu ' d sconts fi-om Maynard and AVohnrn as well as the visitors from Wellesley. AViiU ' hesti ' r scorc ' d howi ' ver and made the extra ])oin1 to tak( ' Wi ' lh ' sley into (‘am)) with tlu ' score of 7 to 0. mm FOOTBALL TEAM By this time of the season, the Middlesex League was at a boiling ])oint, as there were about three teams tliat eonld elineh first ])laee. For its final game Winchester was to take the long ride to IMaynard. Tliere it playetl the best game of the season to date, and whi])ped IMaynard 10 to 7. A fifty yard ])ass, a field goal, and fhe exfra i)oinf accounted for the score. By defeating IMaynard, Winchester assured themselves a first place tie with Concord High School for the co-championshi]) of the Middlesex League. Winchester then enjoyed a much needed rest of a week and a half, and it was during this time tliat marks for the first ({uarter came out, and with much delight it was learned that Winchester had not lost a single first string ])layer. Thaidcsgiving morning arrived, and with it came the game with AVinches- ter ' s great rival, AVoburn, and a rain storm. Early in the first ]mriod AVoburn scored, but did not make the try for the extra ])oint. Unexivectedly, tliis ditl not take the fight out of AVinchester, and in the next i)eriod they came, back to score against AYoburn. The try for the point after was not completed. From this time on the ball teetered back and forth until the final whistle blew. Thus the 1934 Football season at AVinchester High School was brought to a hap])y climax, and with it came the co-cham]uonship of the Aliddlesex League and a tie at 6 to 6 with AVinchester ' s great friendly-foe, AVoburn High. The following boys received their varsity letters: CA-ca])tains, John Ilaidon and Gerard Gaffney; Chi])tain-elect, Frank Pro ’in- zaiio; Ewart Bairstow, AValter Jose]Jison, Andrew Alillyan, Kirby Thwing. Ivor Olson, Albert AlacDonnell, Fred AIcCormack, Rol)ert Graham, Albert Gaum, Jose])h Cassidy, David Grosvenor, Joseph Cimiiia; Alanager, Lawrence Ifairstow. BASKETBALL TEAM basketball � oCS Wineliester liad a basketball team that was eomjiosed of five “iron men.” Under the leadersldp of Frank Ui-ovinzano, Wineliester captured second jilace in a ti ' bt race for the cbanijiionshiii of the Middlesex Leapaie. This team was very well balanced and had fine coordination. They lined np Avith Ua]itain Frank Provinzano and Daniel ( ' oss as forwards; John Hanlon, center; and Walter Joseplison and David Grosvenor, j ' nards. This group posse.ssed many fine (inalities, es])ecially determination, as they came from behind in more than one instance where they had been sjmtted seventeen or more jmints in the first period, only to lose by two or three baskets. This certainly is an indication of the fine material that composed onr 11)34-35 hasketbali team. The second team, under the splendid coaching of Edward Bartlett, made a fine showing during the ])ast season by Avinning nine games. Those AAdio received first team aAvards Avere: Ckiptain Frank Provinzano, Ca])tain-elect Daniel Coss, John Hanlon, AValter Josejihson, David Grosvenor, and Alanager John Doherty.

Kobei ' t Tboiaiton, as first team manager, has been doing an abb job, and be has the business end of the team rnnning very smoothly. The Middlesex League this ])ast season has boasted of some fine teams, and the calibre of these groups being so closely matclusl that it has made the ontcomes of these games very close in regai ' d to the scores. (liitside of the league games Winchester ])layed only two outside games, both of these games being ])layed with Wobiuai High. There have not becm bi ' igbt s])ots in the team this year, but of Ibe few that there were, “Polack” ] IcCV)rmack at first base tojjs tlnan all. lie has been bitting consistently, and bis ])lay in the field has been of tlu ' highest type.

However, dne to po])nlar demand, arran ' einents were made and the team got under way two weeks before its first meet. In spite of the short training period allowed it, the team did snri)risingly well in its first meet on May d, in winch it tied Wellesley. The following week AVincliester was not so fortnnat( ' , for the lads from Lexington took an easy victory in which they accnmnlated 6d points. In the animal iMiddlesex meet AVinchester did a commendable, though not outstanding job, in taking fifth place. It Avas at Alaynard on Alay 16 that Winchester took its first 11)65 A ' ictory in which it jiroved strong in both running and field events. The kfaynard meet has given the boys reason to feel optimistic abont the last two meets at AAMkefield and Woburn resi)ectively. At AVakefield the team will once more meet Lexington in a fri-mcet, and will have a chance to jirove that their first defeat was due to lack of training. The Avhole team deeply regrets the loss of (iaptain Alathews; a fine captain and an essential member of the team. The t( ' am was fortunate in securing Coach Robert Friary at such short notice and his services have been greatly appreciated.

Therefore, they hranelied out into playing outstanding prep and high school teams. Exceiit for an. early-season set-back by IMilton, the}” have proved their excellence by losing no other match. The team was ca])tained by AValter Joseiihson, who is, by the way, the only [dayer whom the team is losing through graduation. Joe has been a fine cai)tain and a steady ]dayer, a good influence on the team. John Scully, the number-one man and manager, showed tine jilaying and great potentialities. Dean Darleton, full of court-craft and ex]ierience, won move than his share of matches at numlier-three ])osition. Bussell Ellis, a freshman and number four, has ])roved himself an extraordinarily tine ])layer and should be out¬ standing in a few years. Harrison Lyman, another freshman and number five, and Bob Linnell, number six, complete the team. Both of these jilayers have done excellent work, despite inexperience.

After these thi-ee outside games the two teams ])layed against each other and the first team jAroved that it was all it should be by taking the second into camp 8-2. Watertown i)roved too much for both teams and won each 2-1. The Arlington game, the most desired victory, and the hardest fought, ended in a scoreless tie for the first team and a 1-1 tie for the second. Belmont proved too ninch for the first team defeating it by one goal A ddle onr seconds upheld onr honor with a 2-0 victory. After these three games, the AVinchester firsts staged a comeback, winning 3-0, while the seconds ended in a 1-1 tie. rjton rei)laying Alelrose we showed that we still had an edge on them by winning 1-0 and 2-0.

At the meetings which were held at regular intervals throughout the year such subjects as “organs and consoles”,, “arc lamps”, “vitamins and their tests”, “hlnei)rints”, “electro¬ lytic ])rocesses”, “railroads”, and the “radiometer” were discussed.

The stage manager, avIio deserves a lot of credit, was Richard Elliott. Dorothy Kleeh was at the piano. Our final get-together was an amateur afternoon held in IMay to promote sociability and to discover more talent. Refreshments were served. Aliss Pailey, Avho in her retiring way, never seeks for com})liments, will always he r(‘nu‘mhered by the class of P)J5 for her untiring efforts to })ut all dramatic ])roje(‘ts over in a very big way.

We poked around with wilted exiiressions for a few days, but soon beg ' an to “blossom.” Our first year we won the ]irize for sellin the most tickets in the S]iring ' field Gymnastic Exhibition. The girls’ class tennis team won the inter-class tournament, and Frank Provinzano, a Fresh¬ man, played on both the varsity basketball and baseball teams. The second year we were even more active than the first. Many class members won varsity awards; Kirby Thwiug, a Sophomore, was Treasurer of the Athletic Association. We had members of the class in other activities, such as the Dramatic Society, the Thrift Association, the Traffic Scjuad, and the Science Club. Our junior, or third year, finds fhe class with a long record of .school spirit and ]iarticipation in school activities. Katherine Gilbert and Rose Russo were the only two Juniors on the Varsity team first hockey, and they were on the Varsity Basketball team also. Frank Provinzano was Captain of the basketball varsity this year. lie is also captain-elect for next year’s football team. i Iany of our boys and girls won varsity second team and first team distinction, in all sports. Norman Clarke and Robert Higgins, had im])ortant ])arts in our Junior- Senior play, “Nothing But the Truth.” With this as a fine r-ecord fo ins])ii ' e us, we will make our class one for the W. II.

So, we started off on the right foot, which was the left one, hy electing William Smith, Presi¬ dent; Barbara Hickey, Vice President; George Manning, Secretary; and Kenneth Gurney, Treasurer. All of these officers were prominent athletes. During the fall, several So])hs played on Varsity or Second teams in Football and Field Hockey. Joe Cimina, Varsity Football Halfback; Danny Coss, Barbara Hickey, and Virginia Bruno stood out. The girls’ class team, captained by Dot Bruno, won the Class Hockey championship. At the conclusion of the boys’ Basketball season, our Slicker Coss was elected next year ' s captain. There were also many from our class on the bo,ys’ or girls’ Second team. This Spring, the boys’ Baseball team benefitted by the ])laying of Slicker C’oss, our best all-round athlete; Billy Smith, Brother Donagliey, and Wee Willie McDonald. Oh, oh, excuse us! The Sophomore boys’ Basketball Team, of which Wee Willie was captain, won the Class title. Furthermore, Ken Ourney and Fred C’roto are Varsity track men. Dot Bruno made the girls’ Tennis team; while Julia Luongo and Barbara Hickey made the Baseball team that the girls are running in competition to the boys.
