MERRILL 2 THE QUIVER IN MEMORIAM ANNIE E. MERRILL A noble woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command. And yet a spirit pure and bright, With something of angelic light. -W07'ClS'?ll07't,L. In the passing of Miss Annie E. Merrill, our school lost an ardent helper and a real friend. Of all her friends and pupils, I ask, in memoriam, a moment of thought. We are deeply sorry for her loss, but if this loss should show us better ideals and aspirations and the benefit of looking ever higher, can we pay her a greater tribute? She worked constantly for all that is best in life. Her ever-enduring patience, love of everything beautiful in nature, and her kindness will always live in our memory. - Can we be kind as she was kind? Good as she was good? Let us strive to keep our ideals, and perhaps, when we leave, our memory will remain, a shining light for those who called us friend, just as she is a shining light to us. CONSTANCE TRINQUE. '28 GONE! ! Empty room-empty chair, She's not here-no-not here. Be it true-Pray then, where? A rosy scent, a silent air, A school room bare, a custom rare. Downcast souls upon the stair. No one talks, no one Walks, Gloom prevails, light has failed. How they mourn, she has gone! Grief and sorrow, for the morrow, A Heavenly Herald, our Miss Merrill, Please don't say, she's-gone-a-way! A. DAMARJIAN, '23, THE QUIVER 3 A TRIBUTE TO MISS GVLIE A. XVYMAN On April 6, 1928, we were saddened by the news of the death of Miss Gulie A. Wyman. Our associations with Miss Wyman first began in our Freshman year, when, not only as a teacher of English and Latin, but as a director of dramatics, she taught us to enjoy the finer things in life, to appreciate the aesthetic, and through debating to think clearly and accur- ately. Later on she became our teacher of Senior English, and those who were fortunate to be in her classes will long remember her keen sense of humor and scholarly interests. As a guide and friend to her pupils, her influence was far reaching. The strong and courageous character of Miss Wyman has left a lasting impression upon those who knew her. We deeply mourn her loss. , ULRIC DE IBELLEFEUILLIC When Ulric de Bellefeuille left our midst, the world saw another noble soul depart. He had not been among us long, but his charming ways had made him dear to us all. As a science teacher, he was loved by all his pupils, while the delightful melodies of his violin graced our orchestra. We feel deeply sorry, but then, We love, we honor and we lose, It is life's way, we cannot choose. Youth seems so free, yet at the end It must accept what God may send. CONSTANCE L. TRINQUE. THE QUIVER CLASS OF 1928 ' SENIOR PICTURES Within these pages we shall Write, Brief memories of our friends so dear, Not mighty deeds, just little things. The hopes and thoughts that each one brings, And when o'er these pages we are bent, 'Twill be a record, of four years well spent. ATTILIA DEL LAGO, Class '28 And now with us, my cameraman, Your courage forth advance! For not a one has ta'en us yet, Not one would take his chance. Set up your strong obscura here, And make your plates quite thick, For many a one we easily break Without the use of trick. 'Tis not our fault if friends around Make our stern faces laugh, Thus spoiling all reflecting plates, And causing sorrow aft. And now that Warning full is told, The pictures freely take, And take as many good as can, For the Quiver Year Book's sake. EDWARD DOONAN, Class '28. THE QUIVER MARGARET MIRIAM ALLEN Margie, with a smile and a cheery word for all, arrives tardy no longer, though having a longer distance to Walk. And does it seem possible that she was the widow of 55, in the Senior Play, she with her boyish bob and tlapperish ways and styles? A question that would cause her much agitation would be to ask her How did you hap- pen to order one-half pound of eggs at Kennedy's, Margaret ? For that answer, ask her. She takes part in no athletics, but is a good sport and f 'tl - - ai 1 ful rooter for W. H. S. Margaret is planning to go to R. I. C. E. and in her role as a teacher, we wish her success.

Leslie Arnold has led our school through many a wordy battle! Leslie's main char- acteristics are his love of an argument, his phi- losophy, which is new and all his own, and his rushing habits. Hanging on like grim death to a long brown pipe, hurrying back and forth, Les is a veritable superman. The incredible amount of reading which Leslie does sometimes makes us wonder how he can find time to visit the girl- friendf' There are very few among us whose book-reports would not suffer if Leslie did not work at the library.

No one has had so many outside activ- ities and interests 1 !1 as Bill and still managed to continue as a student. Though a reactionary in most things, he is radical in one. He believes that all men should lose their individuality in a fra- ternal order of some sort. Criminologist of many shades!

As chairman of the Welfare Committee, he surely comforts the sick. We have heard it said that he is Vcrra much interested in Moore fountain pens. Here's hoping that he becomes a partner in the Moore business. Oh, Frank always was a sheik and always will be, we imagine! Senior Play 1-11. Omicron Beta Club 141. G THE QUIVER ! EDGAR BEAUDET Last year there appeared in our midst a new pupil who came from Assumption College,Worces- ter. You all know Edgar Beaudet, even if he does not attract attention in any way. His motto is, Mind your own business and you won't get into trouble, and whenever Edgar appears on the scene, he is either studying or strolling leisurely back from lunch. By the way, Edgar, we heard l Y t business. that you were going in the crug-s ore Is that a fact? ! GERTRUDE BELHUMEUR We will always remember er for her lovely soprano voice which we have heard on repeated occasions during our school days. She has many ambitions. But the foremost is her am- b't' n to become a nurse, which she is fulfilling 1 io by entering St. Joseph's Hospital in September. Gertrude is a talented artist and has made seiyleral ' ' ere beautiful oil paintings. But how. many are who know Gert's weakness for civil engineers? HORTENSE MARIET BARRETTE Hortense is that smiling damsel entering Room 19 at 8:29 very leisurely and assured. Hortense does not seem very talkative, but if you belong to her little group of friends, you will see her shine, and how. Hortense is a friendly girl, and she is especially fond of going to a not so far distant city's High School dances-we wonder why? She is undecided as to her future career, but we know she will be successful in whatever she decides upon. Discussion Club 141, Omicron Beta Club 141. GEORGE BEAUDET Hit 'em high! Hit 'em low! Come on, George! Let's go! Doll Dance first, then, Tickle the Keys. And can he tickle them! Composers do not make pieces too difiicult for our George. G or e has been the school pianist during the year 9 g d he make assemblies lively! As a devia- and oes 'c . . . tion from music, he passes his extra hours on such ' ' L tin and simple subgects as solid geometry, a , trigonometry. It is impossible to get him to play a tune after class, so we are waiting for a year to hear him in public. Then he willnot blush.

BELL Theologian and philosopher. Annapolis will claim him next year, and the Middies will then receive the benefit of his searching inquiries into the cosmos. The universe, evolution, and the soul of man are his chief interests in this world, ex- cepting God's oft-termed Greatest Gift to Man, How will he reconcile a naval academy with: A loaf of bread- A jug of wine, The wilderness and thou! ! ? h Honor Student. VI' THEODORE BENOIT Teddy always rushes around with that 'Tm monarch of all I survey look. He is always busy, yet always quiet, which is quite unusual. Waves are his hobby, not ocean waves or marcel waves, but radio waves. Teddy,' is quite an unusual type, because there are very few boys who are quiet and modest. Radio Club fly. r , THOMAS FRANCIS BLISS Bliss is a quiet, unassuming, receptive chap. Besides caring for his enormous crop of hair, Curly has little worries. As to his outside work he gives little thought, having as his motto Leave for tomorrow what you cannot do today. This maxim Bliss carries out to perfection, for when an assignment is due, Curly has it accom- plished-how he got it no one knows. His out- standing subject is mathematics and we hope that his future work in engineering may be as success- ful. I V IRENE VERONICA BOYLAN To those who do not know her, Irene seems reserved. But to her own crowd, she is the best friend in the world. She is one of those members that the Omicron Beta Club would be at a loss without, for she is always ready and willing to do more than her share of work. Some day, some business man will be glad that he found Irene, for she is a valuable asset to any oflice. Dance Committee 445, Omicron Beta Club 145, Library Club 141, THE QUIVER LEON C. BREAULT Here is a boy who is not afraid of hard work. Trigonometry, solid geometry, advanced algebra and mechanical drawing do not daunt him. He is a real mathematician and we believe he intends to go in for electrical engineering, in which we are sure he will be a success. Leon was the doctor in our play, a Iine doctor with elevated theories. For a serious and dependable person, look this way, where spring fever never attacks. Senior Play 141 . 1 IOUIS ROY BRENNER Music hath the power to soothe, and when Louis is under the influence of his violin, he is never inclined to throw bricks. Louis' chief occu- pation is rounding up the other members of the orchestra for rehearsal. Once Louis had a little watch, but during the Senior play it went roaming around a Penn. We wonder what finally be- came of that watch. He may not have found the watch but we hope he will find the Penn.

She is an earnest student but still finds time for fun. When we know the amount of time she spends on her studies we are not surprised that she is an honor student. Annie is going to work in the office of one of our leading Main Street stores. Best of luck, Annie. Omicron Beta Club, Honor Student. X RAYMOND BURKE , Ray is our appreciator of the fairer 1'?1 sex. No one understands the psychological and emo- tional facts of their existence as well as does Ray, among all of us. Always prepared in classes, his intellectual life is well co-ordinated with his emo- tional and social life. His knowledge of biology and its applications has elicited praise from 1even1 his teacher in that subject. Senior Play, Business Manager of the Senior Play 141, Band 141.

THE QUIVR 9 VGIARGARET BURGESS Margart, or Peg,', as she is called by her friends, is a girl who is liked by her classmates, She IS the happy-go-lucky sort of girl, so one very seldom sees Peg frowning. Sometimes she forgets she is a young lady and returns to her baby ways by talking baby talk. Miss Burgess is a prominent member of our commercial club. Peg is like a sunny day, bringing joy wherever she goes. Clglrnicron Beta Club f4J, Dance Committee Q45, Library MAUD E. BUSHER Smiling Maud, always ready to give a helping hand. Her happy-go-lucky ways endear her to everyone. She looks quiet, but here is a secret- ' she is not. She says singing is her favorite pas- time, but she certainly can make a piano talk. Maud is the one who had that Do or die spirit in our first period public speaking club, and was comforted by many assuring glances from Tillo. She expects to go to R. I. C. E. and become a school ma'am. Let us hope she will lavish as many of her smiles on her pupils as she did on us during her happy W. H. S. days. Library Club MJ. l J BETTY M. l , l4VlAE 1. CALLANAN Not too forward, not too shy, that's our Mae. Ask Mazie to do you a favor, and you will not miss the genial sparkle in her eye. Talk to her a while, and you will hear the witty remarks she can make, and observe her thorough sense of humor. She prefers sewing of all her subjects, and she certainly can make the needle work. She intends to enter R. I. C. E. and smile her way through. Nothing worries or discourages our Mae. Better days are coming is her favorite motto. CAMPBELL Betty shines on the girls' basketball team, and e V also in typewriting. As a sideline she takes up cheer leading once in a while. Betty does not like to have anyone say she is superficial, and her motto is, I would rather be right than Presi- dent. At almost any time of the day, if you are looking for Bets, you will find her, either in the typewriting room or in the front seat, during a Chem. lecture period. By the way, Betty is a good maid and those in the Senior play will always be ready to give her a reference. Dramatic Club 145, Senior Play MJ, QUIVER Board 011, , .

This boy dopes out more jokes in Mr. Murphy's cracks than the latter thinks he is giv- ing. Flash is a fine public speaker: he holds the audience firmly in every speech 1after school3. He is the first member of the Three Musketeers. Cody's future as a doctor will be very bright if he treats his patients as he has his fellow classmates. Flash is high in studies, high in athletics, higher with his boy friends, and highest with the ladies.

Her greatest pleasure is in talking and she really glows with delight when she is given the floor or more often-when she takes it. She has also proved to us her ability as an actress in our Senior play. Bertha will enter the commercial world and we would not be greatly surprised if she became a public accountant.

ABRAHAM DAMARJ IAN The noble personage above is none other than Abraham Damarjian. 'Way back when we were Freshmen, Abe showed very plainly that he was bent for athletics. He made his debut in football in 1924 and Won his UW as star fullback. Abe held down the fullback position in a marvelous manner, and his smashing line plunges and good punting at critical moments have added many an extra point for W. H. S. score card.

Quite frequently the girls captivate him, but this does not last long, for Mal's slogan is, They may come and they may go, but I live on forever, and he does not feel slighted if, perhaps, he is forgotten.

Those who are not very well acquainted with El think she is quiet, but those who know her better find her a loyal pal and a jolly companion. All that worries Eleanor is whether someone else has done their home-work-for she wants to bor- row it. It was through El's influence that the Pike was macadamized, for she wanted to have the distance between Pawtucket and Woonsocket shortened. El believes that success comes in rounds, and we're inclined to believe that in her ' case she is right. Omicron Beta Club 141. BERTHA MAE TOLMAN Bertha is unsually quiet, an industrious and faithful student. Those of us who know her say that she is a friend worth having. Under her mask of quietness lies a very keen sense of humor. Bertha is one of our class larks. Bertha intends to pursue a musical career, and we know that she will make a success of it. THE QUIVER CONSTANCE TRINQUE Connie has the distinction of being one of the best-looking girls of the class of 1928-for that is the name left to her in the will of the '27 graduat- ing class. Connie is a friendly girl and is always willing to help someone. One of Con's outstand- ing characteristics is her originality and because of this she has some ability for writing poetry. Connie is also the chief spokesman of English 4C. Constance does not intend to go away to school, and her friends will be delighted to know that they will be able to see her frequently in the years to come.

VALENTINE Ruthie' We have a little, black-eyed brunette, who makes it her duty to keep other people from get- ting bored or sad. Her pleasant smile has broken down many walls of reserve and those who she considers as friends are very fortunate. Ruthie enjoys sports, especially skating, and if one were to go up to Avenue C on a winter night, you would see Ruthie in the midst of a crowd of jolly companions. Pascoag High School seems to hold a great deal of interest for our Ruthie - we wonder why? Omicron Beta Club 141. GLADYS VAZNAIAN Here is a girl with speed. We'll guarantee that she can take dictation as fast as anyone can talk, and that is not an idle boast, either.

In spite of her love of fun, Mary, is a good pupil and is always in class, except, of course when she is excluded from the Lecture Room! g QUIVER Board 449. EDWIN PATRICK WRENN Eddie In Eddie Wrenn, Woonsocket High School has an ardent follower of all its sports and an all- around good fellow. He is known for his good- natured smile which throws out beams of happi- ness into every dark corner of our beloved school and cheers the entire student body. His interest in W. H. S. will not die out with graduation, for I am sure that Eddie will keep in touch with its progress by his undying interest in its athletic connections. EDNA YOUNG urfeddyss ,Edna is one of the darlingest bits of cheerful- ness in our school. She always has a smile and a helping, outstretched hand. Brilliant, scholarly work and a sunny, cheerful nature make her a favorite with the teachers as Well as with the pu- pils. It can be truly said that she is one of the brightest sunbeams of W. H. S. We all wish Edna the best of luck in her career as a bookkeeper and typist and we all feel assured of her success. Omicron Beta Club C4J. THE QUIVER MEMORIES I unearthed memories today That long had been forgot, I let myself, my heart obey, And this is what I got. A thoughtful deed of kindness done, That helped me on my way, And also some malicious fun, That did my courage sway. Then little more do I recall Until my High School years, Those years that were the best of all, So bright and void of fears. A Freshman full of hope and joy, And moderately shy, With fun and lessons in alloy, A magical dreamer, I. A Sophomore proudly I became, A happy, care-free girl, And then a Junior out for fame, Just living in a whirl. At last more grown, more studious, too, As Seniors usually are, I often thought of the sad adieu, When from school, I'd travel afar. But now at graduation time, I feel a trifle lost, 'I've had four years of life sublime, What shall I now accost? BEULAH SEARLE, W. H. S., '28 36 THE QUIVER 'QW' N4 1928 OF CLASS THE QUIVER :-17 THIS Quviak .ll'Nl-I, 1928 PRICE, SIAM DITUKIAL ,, si Y 'E THE OLD ORDER CHANGETHH This year, the QUIVER takes a new form. It has always been issued as a yearly publication intended for the whole school, but now it is to be known as a Senior Year Book, and is primarily of interest to the Senior Class. This does not mean, however, that all material is from the graduating class alone. Indeed not, for various types of literary efforts have been received and welcomed from members of each of the two remaining classes in the high school. In fact, it might be said that, outside of one or two outstanding innovations, merely the purpose of the book has been changed. The truth of the matter is that we are introducing a new feature in the 1928 issue. Each member of the Senior Class has been written up by the members of the QUIVER Board, and the results are printed along with a photograph of the student to whom it refers. This is by no means a new idea, but it was thought to be a novel, if not amusing, one, and we hope that it will prove successful. The Board has taken the utmost pains to carry through this idea in a most kind and well-meaning spirit, and it is hoped that each Senior will accept his or her little write-up in the same spirit in which it is offered! LOOKING FORWARD For many years it has appeared to be the duty of the editorials in school publications to contain advice for the parting members of the grad- uating class. It is very difficult to attempt to give sound advice without 38 THE QUIVER having gone through at least half of one's years, and having experienced some Contact with life. Therefore, it seems proper that the wise editor should not attempt to counsel his fellow-students from his own narrow ideas. There are, however, generally accepted rules which are of value to the young person about to enter life. By those coming into contact with life is not meant simply the students who are not anticipating a college career, but those of us who are intending that, as well. For certainly we need a guiding hand in college-the first vital separation from the home ties--as much as our other classmates. So, to both the graduate leaving school for work, and to the one aiming for further knowledge, is directed the follow- ing advice, gathered from the aforementioned rules into the following most important few: Let us be kind, thinking of the other fellow once in a while, let us be honest, for, as we know, honesty is the best policy , and, let us be truthful. With these three attributes, we are practically assured of a happy and successful life, for they are not especially difficult to follow, and the results are always desirable. So, members of the Class of 1928, may we, as we leave its portals, show our true devotion and loyalty, by doing our best to live lives to be proud of, to that place which has been for four happy years a kind, fond parent to us,-Woonsocket High School! REMEMBER ? To most young people of the age of seventeen or eighteen there comes a turning point in life. A change that few greet with smiles in their hearts though there are smiles on their faces. A time when precious memories crowd through the mind and are treasured by everyone. The times when one breaks from twelve years of accustomed routine, when one loses daily contact with one's closest companions of the last few years. It is com- mencement-heralded by celebration. In September, 1924, a large group of girls in pig-tails and boys in knee-pants entered for the first time the lofty halls of Woonsocket High School. We were fresh recruits and in those days we gazed with awe on the Seniors, the superior Seniors. Some of us were left out in the cold, that is, we were put in the Lecture Room or the little box of Room 4. It is now a mere corridor! What trouble we had at first with those bothersome pink slips! In those days we scrambled, four or five deep, for nice, thick sandwiches over a two-by-four counter. We plunged for the first time into the study of ancients and of Latin. This class of talented actors made its debut long ago in Little Almond Eyes. That year the school had a champion basketball team. We saved grocery coupons for months to obtain new books for the library. In the spring, because we were such a thrifty school, we proudly assembled for a picture of the entire student body. Sophomore year we returned with more poise to find many changes. The departure of the class of '25 left a void. We felt just a little older Cmaybe better?J, than the Freshmen. We had vague thoughts of being THE QUIVER 39 mistaken for Seniors by them. From September to February we attended school from eight to one,much to our enjoyment. The addition was erected during this time. Mr. Donlon came to High School as Principal. We again were basketball champions. Our keenest happiness was the victory over Rogers. We learned that a straight line is the shortest distance between. We had our last Field Day. In September, 1926, we returned as Juniors, ready to spend the reputed best year of all. We rejoiced to be on the second fioor. Then we realized more than ever the loss of the class of '26. No longer did we look at the Seniors with admiring eyes. They were too young-we had known them too long. We discovered that each and every one of us was to take public speaking,-a new course to which we went trembling and remained firmly. Our Prom was a success. Class Night gave many of us crowns to wear for one year. In September, 1927, we returned as Seniors. We did not feel like Seniors. The building was filled with new people. We did not have so many acquaintances as formerly. We gave our Prom, probably the last dance in the old assembly hall. We enjoyed a new feature of streamers and confetti. Next came our play, in which public speaking showed its worth by our talented acting. We watched the Junior High come to completion. We were permitted to inspect the building. It made us extremely envious. We formed the Bibliothica and the Discussion Club. We had the opportunity of making a success of the first year of the Broadcaster, our monthly paper. We were basketball champions this year again. Soon the one and only class of '28 will be but a memory. On June 15 we ofiicially leave our educational home. Some of us are finishing. Most of us will be insignificant Freshmen again. Who else will say Get Away as nicely as Miss Laviolette? Who else will teach algebra so thoroughly as Miss McFee? Who else besides Mr. Savaria will make physics a joy? or who besides Mr. Murphy will make chemistry fun? - Remember- ? Geor fe' appy grin? Ed? elsant manner? Dot! 1C Y idencies? Bee's t ?

ELISE GENEREUX, Class 1928, 40 THE QUIVER TI'II4: QUIYIQR BUARD THE Qnivna 41 3 i FOOTBALL AND STUDIES ID it ever occur to you that struggling with studies is, in a Way, similar to a game of football? In the game of studies we are under a mental strain while, in football, ig. one undergoes a hysical strain. Life is but a fame and 'K-'f 'QI 'a - - L, . I ,ffl everyone is playing to conquer all that places itself as . an obstacle in the way of happiness and success. Every :ff - ' ' Et - - - -eff 233591, day in our classes we hold contests with various sub- fa-aals'?i1f.si Jects, and in order to make this more clear, let us look co-A -P-A back over the encounters of last year. The first event on the schedule was with the Latin eleven. We, the scholars, had trained faithfully and were ready to hit the line for all we were worth. Their version of the rules were most complicated and contra- dictory, but it was their formations that puzzled us. Adjective, at guard, was anywhere but with his team-mate Noun, at center. Verb played at end, but was hard to locate. Captain Aeneid was their ground-gaine1', but our crack back-field men, after scanning their line, found a hold, and slowly, foot by foot, pushed their way across the goal. It was a great relief when the bell sounded for the end of the first period. Aided by their cheering section of a group of nymphs, the Latin won. Our schedule surely was a difficult one, the Algebraics being our next opponents. Lead by Captain X, whose identity was unknown, and who was All Studious halfback, it looked as if we were sunk without a bubble. The periods of this game seemed very short because we were on our mettle all the while. It was useless trying to solve their code of signals, and worse to try and get your hands on X, and Y, his running, mate, was fully as elusive. Between the halves, our coach pointed out a new mode of attack, and with this formula, We went to work with new spirit. Hard thinking and quick head-work brought the desired results-Mvictory! 42 THE QUIVER The Chemists were reputed to be a weak club, and this game was played as a sort of experiment, but when We saw the write-up after- wards, we found there was much to be learned. Their mainstay was Cap- tain Acid, and he proved troublesome until the coach sent in Base as his opponent. After the next mix-up, Acid was no more lively than common table salt. lt was easy to see that they had done a great deal of Board- work, but we were in trim and managed to upset them. We might continue taking each study, but let it suffice to say that we won the pennant-our diploma. After four years of hard training, we are now in the best of mental condition. And, as in football, we have reached the goal and crossed itg looking into the future for hard opponents, and with the same conquering spirit to beat down any opposition, and finally emerge victorious. ' ADAIR GLEESON, Class 1928. SMILES Smile, just a small word of five letters, but just how much does this Word mean to you? If you looked it up in the dictionary, you would per- haps iind for its definition, something to this effectzv smile-to express pleasure, moderate joy, love or kindness by the countenance. This appar- ently seems a very simple task, but how few people make a general habit of smiling. There are several different kinds of smiles that one meets throughout the course of a lifetime. There is the smile of much happiness, the smile of joy, that is so felt from the heart as to bring forth tears, the first smile of a baby, the smile of kindness, the smile of love, and the smile of per- sonality. Just stop and consider all that a smile can do. First, let us con- sider the smile of happiness or the smile of joy. Does it not make you, too, seem happy and joyful to watch someone whose countenance is wreathed in smiles? Just by smiling, sunshine can be scattered about to every gloomy nook and corner. The first smile of a baby: does not just the sound of that sentence make you want to smile? The smile that you now produce is called the smile of tenderness and love. Your character is obviously now written on your face, inasmuch as the love for the child takes the form of a pleas- ing smile across your countenance. There is yet another smile of love, one which conveys hidden tender meanings that only the eyes of another love can understand. The smile of kindness and the smile of personality are the ones that do the most good, however. These two smiles are nearly always working together. The smile of kindness, plus the smile of person- ality, have healed many a heart-sore wound. They are the best known remedy for driving away the blues and for drying your teardrops. When you feel gruesome and blue, won't you please try the new smile remedy? A beaming smile alights your whole face and makes you appear much more agreeable than a long dull face. Smiles, throughout the ages, have been known as the best asset to convey you successfully through the struggles and pit-falls of life's journey, which at times almost seem unbearable. THE QUIVER 43 In the hardships of life, when the most diflicult task of all is to be cheerful, smile, even though it seems to hurt you to smile. Soon you will be smiling all the time without even thinking of it. To smile is a characteristic that we all strive to attain. Why not start smiling today? You will find it a great help through the course of life, as a smile will go a long, long way. The word mile between each s of the word smiles shows just how far a smile can be conveyed. , DoRIs GOBEILLE, Class 1928. SPRING COMES TO RIVER STREET Spring had come to River Street. After the dense smoking downpour of the previous night, which had licked away all but the most hardened of glistening icy patches, the macadamized road tortuously wound its way in cleanness and ebony sheen. Its sleekness was strange. The three-storied sordid flats, piled disjointedly on both its sides, belied its new freshness. A dilapidated fence and a new twenty-foot Lux advertisement, seeking to hide the refuse-laden, polluted mill stream that in its slinking dirtiness flowed behind the houses, also betrayed the road in its new-found splendor. It was five o'clock. Unlike other days, there was no gloom. This hour, the forces of day and night were vieing for supremacyg and day was but reluctantly relinquishing its hold. There was a new softness in the atmos- phere, a strange tranquility about the scene. The mills had not yet poured forth their human flood streams, which would soon engulf River Street. The heavy, rumbling trucks had ceased for a moment their continuous clamor. A dark-skinned Portuguese leaned in a doorway smiling com- placently at the actions of a jeering Italian urchin and an unsteady alcoholic Gentleman of leisure -the waif at a safe distance, mocking and taunting, and the drunkard flinging back scathing abuse. Further up the street, shabby and ragged boys that lived in the dirty drab houses, blocked off a dry spot in the dirt sidewalk, were playing marbles. Not far from them, a few smudgy little girls chased each other about, in street and road. 'Two negro boys, absorbed in talk, mechanically propelled along up the road their wagons with baskets of washings. Yes, Spring had at last come to River Street. JOSEPH DZIOB, Class 1928. THE PARADE Here they 'comel In the distance, I can hear the band playing. Every- one, with his head turned in the same direction, is anxiously waiting to see the parade. The music sounds louder and the soldiers are in sight. Each and every individual is straining his eyes to make sure that nothing goes by unnoticed. The soldiers, erect, and all in step, slowly pass. The music of the band stops and a bugle can be heard, as the soldiers halt at the command of the ofllcer. 44 THE QUIVER Everyone is still, as the bugle gives forth soft, sweet notes that seem to float in the air. I feel a tingling sensation of my nerves like a flash of lightning through my whole body. The notes sound familiar. 'Tis the call to the dead. Tears run down my cheeks as I think of the mothers and fathers who lost their sons, and the sisters who lost their brothers in that horrible and beastly war. How many have died in the land of destruction? How many have died in cold blood for the protection of their country? 'Tis all in war, but must we still have it? As the last notes of the bugle die away, the brave and honorable soldiers continue their march, not to war, but to eternal life. The last of the soldiers disappear around the curve and the people continue their journey. Such is life. What does Armistice mean to the people? Victory! To me it means death. ABRAHAM DAMARJIAN, CLASS 1928. A HOLD-UP Mr. Russell, the wealthy architect, seated by the fireplace in his spa- cious living-room, reading the paper, was smoking a rich-smelling cigar. He looked very contented and peaceful in his large, comfortable chair. Was that the window fastener, I wonder ? thought Mr. Russell to himself, as he heard a soft click. No, I guess not, it must be the wood snapping in the fireplace. However, he soon had a different impression as a loud voice, breaking the silence of the room, said, Hands up! With a jump, he was out of his chair, dropping his paper and turning towards the window. There was a tall man with only his eyes showing. The man held an ugly looking gun in his hand. Mr. Russell did some quick thinking. Of course, he put up his hands: there is no use arguing with a man who is pointing a gun at you. Still, Mr. Russell's mind was working very quickly and he had a neat little plan to outwit this intruder. It was only a few feet to the door. I'll move my fingers in the air as if making signs and he'll think that there is someone in back of him and he will be sure to turn around, then I can make a dash for the door. Mr. Russell did this. Sure enough, the robber turned around to see who the victim was signing to. As he rushed for the door, poor Mr. Russell ran into the arms of another masked man holding a gun. Get back there, said the man in a grui voice. Mr. Russell took a few steps backward, thinking, Well, I guess I'm sunk. If there were only one of them, I'd throw this vase at him and knock him cold, but I can't do that now, for the other will shoot me. He thought of the plans his wife and two sons had talked of, all last week, about a burglar alarm. He had objected, now, probably, he was to pay for his foolishness with his life. THE QUIVER 45 His thoughts were interrupted by a gruff voice saying, We give you five minutes to tell us where the safe is. If you don't tell, you will never say another word in your life. Mr. Russell turned very pale and grew nervous, as he thought of all his valuable papers and money in the safe. Four minutes, only one more, interrupted a voice. Mr. Russell did not wait for the other minute. Over there, he said, pointing to a tapestry behind which was the safe. Instead of going to the spot, the two rufiians pulled OH their caps and masks. There stood his two sons, laughing heartily. Well, dad, is that proof enough for you that we need a burglar alarm ? -f Mrs. Russell then came forward from behind a drapery, where she had witnessed the scene. Now don't you dare scold them, she said, I helped them plan it just to teach you a lesson. You told me yourself those papers were worth thousands of dollars. You win, answered Mr. Russell. I'll have a burglar alarm installed not later than tomorrow. PHYLLIS REMILLARD, Class 1929. PERSONALITY , 7 . . . . HIS word may be seen in different lights by others, but to me R N 7 it is a magnetic power of attraction which some people have, and display in their speech and actions. It is a quality 'which if makes people desire a certain one's company and admire his V 5 actions. It is a far more precious characteristic than wealth, physical strength, or even beauty. ln all walks of life these 2'l 'yJf pleasing personal characteristics are always the outstanding ' ' object of admiration and desirability. A newly manufactured word which is often being wrongly confused with personality is the attractive power called it. These two words have entirely different meanings. They are both qualities appealing to the senses, but the former is only felt by meeting or leaving a person, while the latter is the attractiveness at the first sight, that is, exceptional beauty of face or body, or both. Many screen stars are said to have it, but personality can be found in almost any crowd of girls and boys. People do not rise in the social world, the land of pleasure and enjoy- ment, by wealth, outstanding feats, or beauty unless they have some of those pleasing traits of character which make up personality. The hero does not live long without it, the athletic stars go only so high without it, and boys and girls enjoy merely a very minute portion of their happiness inschool or elsewhere unless they cultivate personality in part or in whole. 46 THE QUIVER This power, unlike it, is not necessarily an inborn element from birth. It may be developed many times with little exertion or trouble. A hearty handshake, a smile for everyone, and a controlled temper are things which never harm but always help to make one likable. An outside appearance of happiness at all times leven if opposite insidel will go a long way in improving one. People who joke and take jokes against them with laughs are indeed welcome in any group. These traits along with a little conversational and mixing ability are things which carry a boy or girl nearer to his Utopia than athletics, bands, or perhaps, studies. To have developed personality is indeed great progress on the road of life. Nothing, I believe, is more elevating and helpful to youth and age than the individuality a person shows in his pleasing manners which make him the outstanding figure in any group in which he is found.

I'll show them that they can't put a son of mine out of school for such a trivial offense. Robert: Wait a second, dad you don't know how it happened. You see, the prof was explaining how the single phase electric motor runs and we all gathered around to see. He happened to have his hand on the brushes and I bumped against the switch. The professor jumped back from the shock and upset his experimental rack, ruining much apparatus as well as data sheets which were destroyed by the acid that he was using in his experiment. He told me to stay after class, but I told John Springal that bald-headed Jeremiah Zachary Phillips couldn't keep me after class! I thought no one heard me, but as I turned around I saw the professor behind me. It was the Dean's oflice for me and there I found in clearly expressed words that my presence was no longer desired at that school. I told the Dean what I thought of the place and came back to home, sweet home! That is my story. Dr. Prentiss: If that is all, now I'll have my say.

TOBOGGAN ING Tobogganing is one of the most thrilling and healthful sports in which you can participate. At Twin Elms, there is a very good toboggan slide. The slide is about fifty feet high and one-half mile long. The toboggans are about four feet long, with a piece of roll board in front to keep you from diving off. The toboggans are on runners. You go to the top of the slide, and get on a toboggan. There is only room for two on each sled. The starter gives you a push, and off you go like a shot about sixty miles an hour. You have just time enough to catch your breath after the start when you whiz around a corner that nearly throws you off. Then down some more and you come to a few more curves not so bad. Then when you have just begun to think you are safe, you come to a curve which you think will go straight through and fall over the side, but With a sudden lurch the sled makes the corner and goes off the run, to be stopped after it goes a few feet in the snow. On the way down, what chance you have to think in, you are thinking, If I ever get off of this safe, I'll never get on again. But when it is over, if you have not a weak heart, you will say, That's great. Let's come down again. MARY HEFFERNAN, Class 1928. 50 THE QUIVER THE END OF THE ROAD S the dusk was changing into darkness, anyone might have seen a somewhatubent and frail looking old man 5 leaving a large office building in New York City. He was C 3 NI! exceedingly well dressed, and it did not require a second W QM glancg to ascertain that he was a man of wealth. He pre- 'U 'X Q sente a queer spectacle as he tried to hurry. His grouchy face was twisted into a dark scowl, and he appeared to be W' antgryhwilth tlhe worlddin general. He climbed laboriously l -I 2Y,,2T4, in o t e ig -powere , expensive car which was waiting for him, and, with a dark face, began to review the events W MM of the day. Nothing had suited him, nobody satisfied him. Now he would go to a home of which he was tired, to lux- uries that bored him. He was sick of it allg no happiness remained for him. Nevertheless, he was always planning to increase the wealth which afforded him only misery. Going to another section of the city, we might see a rather elderly man preparing to close up his plumber shop. All his help had gone home, and now, as the day's work was done, he was whistling a merry tune as he pre- pared to go to a home whose loving hearts awaited him. As he thought over the events of the day, a satisfied smile crept across his kind, old face. All his customers had been pleased, it had been a day of profit, and he had sent his help off with a cheery Good night. Still whistling, he walked toward his homey he had no selfish desires, no ill feeling toward anyone, only pleasant anticipation of seeing his family after a day of hard, honest work. As one observes these two men, even one who has entertained the strangest desires toward wealth and position, one may easily see just where happiness really lies. Both are nearing the end of their road. One, looking back, sees only bitterness and misery, and, looking into the future, can see no happiness. The other, poor in worldly possessions, is rich in happiness and satisfied with his lot. Happiness is the goal of everyone, but yet, how few succeed in finding it. How few are satisfied when they have reached the end of the road. Yet, with careful observation of the mistakes of those about us, we may easily reach the end of our road without having ventured fatally into the hard, cruel school of experience. JOHN J. LENAHAN, Class 1928. THE MASQUERADE Al Jackson had been a very unfortunate boy all of his eighteen years. It wasn't his looks, because he was very handsome. He was about five foot eleven, had blue eyes, light hair, and a very good complexion. It wasn't his manners, for he was courteous on all occasions. It was his money-money, that trivial substance, which so often fools even friends. Because he didn't THE QUIVER 51 have money to spend lavishly as did the other boys, he was ignored by the rest of his fellow companions. When he came to High Point, he was treated respectfully by his fellow classmates for the first few weeks. Then, suddenly, his friends seemed to drop off the earth. No one cared whether he sat alone at lunch, or if he worked out an experiment in a lonely corner of the laboratory. No one cared what he did after school, and, of course, no one even thought of inviting him to a party. Al often sat hours at a time trying to figure this out. Eleanor Perry was another puzzle. She was a very pretty girl, whom Al liked better than he did any other girl in school. However, Eleanor's folks were quite well-to-do, so she couldn't bother with Al. In fact, she acted quite mean about it. She never thought of asking him to any of her parties and she ignored anyone who did bother with him. Q She passed him on the street without even a nod of recognition. One day Marion Turber was running along a slippery sidewalk on her way home from school. She slipped and fell. The first thing she knew, Al was at her side, asking if he might assist her. She had hurt her ankle badly, but with Al's help, she managed to get home. Poor Marion had to stay in for many days following her accident. Every night Al would go to see her. They became the best of pals. While he was talking one day, he incidentally mentioned his invalid mother. Marion began to see a new light upon Al's life now, so she asked him about it. Slowly he began: My mother has been an invalid for five years. Father died when I was about two and We had to live on what little he left us. It has always been my wish that someday I might earn enough to have her cured. You see, mother is all I have and she used to work so hard for me! I am work- ing and saving. It is almost over. I have nearly enough money and then-I Marion helped him out by not saying anything. Later she told the story to Eleanor, who scofiingly said: Well, let him work and save. That has nothing to do with me. I won't be bothered with him. Still, that story made her think. She knew that she did like Al a little and admired him for his courage. But her pride was still strong so she would not admit her feeling to anyone. Marion began to plan. She wished she could give him a great many friends and so make him happy. Her last resort was a party. She sent out invitations to a masquerade. In one corner she requested that the person keep his invitation secret. Everyone at school went around wondering if the one standing next to him had received an invitation. This was a strenuous task, this waiting. At last the fateful night arrived. The guests began to come. Marion felt somewhat relieved when she saw Eleanor appear. Everyone was on the floor for the last dance. All were laughing and joking. Eleanor was dancing with a Don Q. She thought she had never seen such a charming one before, and she in her Spanish costume helped to make the match perfect. And what a wonderful dancer he was! Surely 52 THE QUIVER he must be some out-of-town guest of Marion's. She was quite sure she had never seen a signet ring like that. It was a pretty ring with a strong A engraved on it. A ! ! Whose initial could that be? It was ten min- utes to twelve. Only ten more minutes to the thrilling hour of unmasking! At last it arrived, and Eleanor had no more idea as to who her partner was. She slipped oi her mask. He took off his. Lo! and Behold! Standing at her side was that Hdetested Al J acksonf' . So Al took Eleanor home. On the wayhe asked if he might take her to the Junior Prom the next week. Eleanor accepted. I EDITH E. FARRAR, Class 1929. THE IMAGINARY WORLD INTO WHICH MY FAVORITE POET ' CARRIES ME The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The plowman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. Ha! What glorious, immortal lines are those! and what sadness they express! Once read, they can never be forgotten, you don't have to mem- orize themg they seem to memorize themselves. I remember reading the poem several years ago, and since then, the opening lines have haunted me. As I read on, how sad it is that in spite of all that we may do The paths of glory lead but to the grave. As I read and think just what the poem means, I seem to lose all con- sciousness of my egotistic self and am transported into a new world, a quiet, peaceful world, full of sadness. Mighty nations engage in war, and great battles are fought. Heroes rise and fall, and then-all, all is still, quiet, sad, and I Wonder Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath ? What does it all mean, anyway? I become vaguely conscious of some- thing--something awful and inspiring, baffling all description. But sud- denly my dream is shattered and I awake to the harsh realities of my present life. But even after all is over, there lingers in my mind that sad, immortal line, The paths of glory lead but to the grave. LUIGI GUIDUICCI, Class 1928. THE QUIVER 53 MY UNKNOWN ASSAILANT I have always had a terror of entering a dark house. As I was coming up the walk leading to our door one rainy, windy night, I observed that no one was home, as the house was in darkness. .Then and there, I started to feel alarmed. The trees were creaking in the wild Wind., There was not a person on the street. Previously, I had been humming a few bars of jazz, I stopped. I put my key into the door and my nervous fingers had difiiculty in unlocking it. I shivered a little when I finally stepped into the darkened hall. I was only slightly surprised to know that my hand was shaking as I felt for the light switch. I groped around, vainly seeking the source of illumination. Suddenly, my heart gave a sickening thud of fear. Apparently, my knees started to crumble. My hand fell nervelessly against the wall. Imagine my horror to hear a voice from the darkened living-room say, in tones of awful calmness, I have you well covered, you know. Don't attempt to get away. Those words buzzed around my numbed brain. I was positive every moment was my last. I knew just how a mouse felt before the final slap of the cat's paw sent it to blessed eternity. All my past sins rose before me and I vainly reproached myself for being sarcastic to my friends, cruel, and for scorning the now beautiful household tasks. To think that a few short hours ago, I actually made a fuss about washing dishes! My imagina- tion, too, was active. Even at that moment, I could see the next day's newspapers, telling in two-inch headlines, High School Student Is Bru- tally Murdered by Unknown Assailantf' i While I was thus reproaching myself, visualizing my horror, the awful talking continued in the room. Suddenly, my heart renewed its normal function. My knees gave me support again. My hand found the light switch. For-what I now heard was, This is station WEAF. You have just listened to the second act of the sensational mystery play, 'The Phantom Burglarf Please stand by for the broadcasting of the final act. AGNES GRAHAM, Class 1929. LEAVES Although New Year's Day is generally accepted as the day of new and re-resolution, the determination to do things differently is by no means confined to the first of the year. It would be interesting for each of us to keep track of the new resolutions we make during the year. In most cases each day would show a new resolve, which is as it should be. But I am thinking now of more than just daily determination or determination in a single task. We are so accustomed to that type that we hardly notice it in ourselves. What I do mean are the kind of resolutions we make at New Year's after looking back over our recent activities, the resolutions through which we hope to make our lives more ideal in our own eyes. It would be most interesting to note how many of these radical and inclusive resolu- tions we make during the year. 54 THE QUIVER There seems to be four particular times during the year when We con- sciously turn over a new leaf. Briefly, these might be named: New Year's Day, Easter, our own birthdays, and the day after vacation. It depends upon how many vacations we enjoy during the year, how many leaves are turned for the latter reason. If we started afresh no more than these four times during the year, and kept our resolutions with a reasonable degree of faith, within a decade we should approach uncomfortably close to--the unattainable-perfection. However, for one reason or another, we never seem to carry out our resolutions for improvement. Most of us resemble in too great a degree the girl who said, in an attempt to be clever, that she never made new resolu- tions because she did not want to encourage herself to see how completely she could smash them. Sometimes it seems as if We do respond to new resolves in that manner. Therefore, to make up for the times when we do not carry out completely our intentions, we seem to turn over more leaves from time to time. Often a stirring speech or a conversation with some very admirable person makes us want to start afresh. Sometimes it is just that we have become utterly bored or exhausted with our present way of living and doing things. However it may be, though we start new para- graphs every day, there are many times during the year that we completely turn over nevvleaves. It would be encouraging to think that each time we make a new resolu- tion which will be valuable to our lives, we really take a step in advance, but it seems that often we are so prone to start afresh that we come to pay no particular attention to our last resolve. We weaken our character by not living up to what we have planned with the idea that we can start over tomorrow. At this time of year, when the world outside ourselves seems to turn back on the past and start again with new resolves, many of us follow that example and make fresh resolutions. It would be far better this season when we turn over another leaf to stay on it till we accomplish some improvement in ourselves, than to leave it and turn back to the one we have just left with the idea that it does not make much difference just this once because we can start again tomorrow. LOUISE E. Honona, Class 1928. , THE TELEGRAM George Crawford was sitting on the piazza of the Country Club, chat- ting with an amiable group of men. No specific topics were being argued, but just plain talk, and an occasional Yes, No, Oh hum, I'm going home. Moved by the utterance of the last phrase by a nearby person, George looked at his watch. Great Scott, he ejaculated, I'll be accused of deserting my wifeg I'm going chez moi vite. With this last slangy remark, he hurried off to his car. THE QUIVER 55 Suddenly there was a great commotion in the locker room. The cry, Telegram for Mr. George Crawford, was heard above all the hubbub. Crawford was forcefully recalled, and excitedly he tore the envelope off, forgetting even to sign for it. George turned all colors, finally ending up in a ghastly white, and muttered some incomprehensible English, dropped the telegram, and staggered forth to his car, seemingly out of his mind. The telegram was read by his friends as follows: Mr, George Crawford, Father run over probably fatal come at once. And how George did go! No road was too short for him, and the speedometer frequently flickered about 80. While on a long stretch of straight cement, he let it out to the limit, somewhere around 90, and with the motor purring quietly along, he relaxed and reflected for a few minutes. His dear old Dad, who had piloted him through life, to die thus, by some hit-and-run driver. George wished that he could run over him, to pay him back in his own coin. What he would not do, if he could only lay his hands on him, this criminal. His Dad, the only Dad he had had, or needed, the Dad with whom he had spent so many pleasant years, all to be ter- minated in a few short moments by some careless driver. George would show 'em, though, his Dad was his Dad, and nobody e1se's. George was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he did not notice a sharp curve directly ahead, and, going at this terifiic speed, it was well nigh impossible to stop. Somehow, though, spurred on by the thoughts of his suffering father, he made that turn, though on how many Wheels is open to question. Only a few miles farther. George came tearing down the driveway at such a speed that he could not stop in time for the door. He saw his mistake, and immediately backed up, not noticing that he went through a fence and a hedge. He jumped out of the car and ran his fastest to the house, all the time expecting to hear the terrible blow descend. He crashed through the door, overturning a flower pot, and Whom should he meet but his father. He could not believe his eyes. His own Dad, whole and alive! But the telegram--there must be some mistake. Oh, said his father, laughing, that was your pet frog, 'Father'g he was run over by a toy train, but he is all right now. HOWARD A. OFFERS, Class 1928. SPRING FEVER Now is the time when high school students, along with mankind in general, must combat that mysterious malady which makes its appearance with the first robins and the tulip blooms. Just as Goethals in Panama con- quered the yellow fever, so we must overcome this stealthy menace, which creeps on us unawares, and, before we know it, holds us tight in its grasp. An almost irresistible impulse possesses us to lay aside our Cicero, Essay on Johnson, or our devoted French Grammar, gaze out the window, and, perhaps, wonder whether W. H. S. is going to win the baseball game, or whether Mr. X is going to present us with that well known yellow card. 56 THE QUIVER In the classroom, the teacher's voice falls on deaf ears in many cases, as the girl in front stares at the map with unseeing eyes, or the fellow in the next seat scribbles on a piece of paper While he asks what word rhymes with stars, with unmistakable signs of that catching disease which causes so many frowns on paternal brows when the special reports are pre- sented for approval. Now we know that we shift into low gear for more power to climb steep hills, and thus we must turn our minds to that point where they will rise over the uphill climb of spring days which presents itself. Instead of dulling our senses and making us abandon ourselves to idle dreams, let this balmy spring weather inspire us to new heights of energy, so that in six weeks we can show records that will cause gasps of astonishment from all who view them. KILL THE SPRING FEVER. CLARE BUXTON FEELY, Class 1929. THE SPIRIT OF HAPPINESS HAT an elusive being is happiness! A slender, little elfin, slipping in and out of our lives with the swiftness of light- Gab , fdygg 5,4 L5 ning-so hard to keep, so easy to lose. There are many times W Il ki gg 5 . . . . lid ,Q 5 Q1 rg in our Journey through the years when we search diligently Kwik? for this most dearly-loved creature, surely expecting to find .kjigffi him in one place, but being most pleasantly surprised to see ,-sg? , Q' him suddenly appear in a much diierent place to give us more KW -I - ' ' of himself than could have been hoped for otherwise. His ' companionship is greatly desired by kings and commoners alike, but is most likely to be given to the latter, as are the beggars given preference to the millionaires. This uncomprehendable sprite is most particular in his associates, as can be seen, but he still has a great many who are constantly in his com- pany. For, you see, there is a secret which these friends of his have learned, and which, when discovered by anyone, will insure him the imme- diate beginning of an everlasting companionship with this joy-bringing creature. Also, this delight will seldom be lost, it seems, because if one knows the simple secret of happiness, he will be sure not to lose it, as it is more difficult than ever to find again. How many have sought this secret in vain, hoping against hope for good fortune in the search! What heaps of golden treasure have been spent uselessly, and would, indeed, still be given only to obtain a brief interview with the fleeting elf! However, one must acquire a true spirit in his pursuit, because half-heartedness will never win. More than once have different pursuers thought that they had at last caught the baffling fairy, only to find, upon closer examination, that they are clutching but an empty form-a cheap imitation of the real being, which, like the Bluebird, has turned again to black in the childish hands THE QUIVER 57 of the disappointed Tytyl and Mytyl! It would seem, according to some of the preceding statements, as if it were much harder for the wealthy to come in contact with the latent spirit than for those in more unfortunate circumstances, and this is true. Money gives its possessor nearly all he wishes, usually for himself, which explains the reason for his difliculty in finding happiness, because this whole secret lies simply in doing for others and forgetting self! That is why the poorer, humbler person can more easily learn the secret, because, in struggling for his own upkeep, he can discern the hardships of others, and lend them a helping hand. Besides, when the rich man does realize the secret, he is reluctant to give up his pile of gold, because he cannot see any point of view other than his own, having become so self-centered in his lengthy separation from the sought- after spirit. So you see that this pursuit is really a delightful pastime for the one who understands how to go about it, and that the precious, elfin-like spirit of happiness is more easily and willingly caught by the fortunate pursuer who thinks of, and does for others.

It tells about the pennant that Woonsocket High has won- And to the boys who fought for victory, it says, Well done. It also has a column for humorous jokes and gems, I And a space reserved for others with literary trends. The staff who runs the paper have plenty to jot down, And should feel quite elated with the paper's great renown, Its editor-in-chief is a very fine choice, And, no doubt, will be succeeded by another of equal voice. Some few disapprove of it, but honestly, I like To learn that Woonsocket High is blooming ever bright. It's just a little paper-with news for everyone, And as long as it is printed, I hope to purchase one. GRACE M.

X, C During the fall, a representative of the Dennison Company paid a visit to the school. She spoke to the girls of the many lovely things that could be made from crepe paper. She had lamp shades and hats to illustrate her talk. Colonel Eustace, an African explorer, came to pay us a visit last fall. He brought with him very interesting and instructive moving pictures of African life. His explanations of the pictures were interesting, and his talk was heartily appreciated by the students. The Senior Dance was given on December 3rd in the Assembly Hall. The hall was prettily decorated with green and red under the direction of President Edward Doonan and a committee to assist him. The dance was the first one of its kind, as there were spot light dances and other features. Earl Shean's Orchestra played for the dancing. THE QUIVER 63 H39 East, a comedy which was greatly enjoyed by everyone who saw it, was the play given by the Senior Class this year. The cast was as follows: Richard Gibbs ..,...,...

B e tty Campbell The play was one of the best ever given at the school, and the hearty support of the students and the very faithful outsiders is the reason why it was so successful. George Beaudet has acted as pianist during assemblies. Miss Bartley's English classes have studied the Scholastic and the Literary Digest during the year. The classes were allowed to vote for the magazine which they found the most interesting and instructive, with the result that a few of the classes have studied the Scholastic. A group of girls, under the direction of Miss Christine Cole, of the faculty, sang Christmas Carols through the halls during the last day of school before Christmas vacations. A picture of George Washington and of the battle of Bunker Hill were presented to the school for having a notable average in banking on Wash- ington's Birthday. The Christmas program given this year was varied and entertaining. The features were: The Spirit of Christmas, by Thomas Craneg The Origin of Christmas Carols, by Ernest Sylvestreg Christmas Bells, by Clare Feely, accompanied by Louis Brenner, Elene West and Lucille Greenan. A saxophone quartette, composed of Leo McGuire, Murad Narces- sian, W. Iredale, and George Helm, played Christmas songs. A play, taken from Dickens' Christmas Carol, was given by the following pupils: Philip Fahrenholz, Bella Skolnick, Adrien Groslouis, Lazar Ladarides, James Hackett, Emily Potvin, Winifred Fuller, F. Monsour, Isobel Sholovitz and Margaret Foote. THE QUIVER 65 f Mr. Murphyfs chemistry classes wrote themes on The Relation of Chemistry to Many Subjects. These themes were submitted to the National Chemical Essay contest. Leslie Arnold was awarded a prize for his essay on The Relation of Chemistry to the Enrichment of Life. . On Lincoln's Birthday, the Commissioner's message was read by Ambrose Kennedy, Lincoln and Washington, by Louis Macktaszg Amer- ica for Me, by Louise Hodder, a poem entitled Abraham Lincoln, by Edward Davis. The Grand Army men spoke to the pupils, and the pro- gram ended with an appropriate speech given by Superintendent James F. Rockett. This year, our school has started on a new venture. This is a monthly newspaper called The Broadcaster. A staff was appointed from every class, with Elise Genereux of the Senior Class as editor-inlchief. Three issues have been printed, and the students and outsiders have found it to be very interesting. ' . The Junior Prom was given April 22nd in the gymnasium of the new Junior High School. This is the first school dance that has ever been held outside of the Assmbly Hall. The gymnasium was very attractively deco- rated with moss green and rose. During the evening, music was furnished by Al Messenger's Lions' Club Orchestra. During intermission, refresh- ments were served in the cafeteria under the direction of Miss Thompson. The Junior Play was given on Friday evening, 'April 20th, in the beautiful auditorium of the new Junior High School. This play was Seven Chances, a very amusing comedy.

I I I THE QUIVER 67 On Thursday, March 15th, English 3B entertained the members of English 3D and 3E by presenting in the assembly hall the fourth period a one-act play entitled, A Christmas Party at Sir Roger's. Thomas Kav- anaugh cleverly interpreted the character of the amiable Sir Roger, who endures a hopeless adection for the Widow, Miranda Loveworth, played effectively by Betty Clark. The members of English 3E, in connection with the study, with debat- ing gave four-minute talks in support of popular candidates for the Presidency. - English 3D and 3E learned the parts from one scene in Hamlet and presented it in the assembly hall. Debates held in English 3A, 3F, and 3C on many varied subjects added interest to the study of argumentation. During the course of the year, English 3A, 3F, and 3C have had Shakespeare Day and Tennyson Day. The entertainments were planned by the pupils with the purpose of making the characters and situations more realistic than might otherwise have been possible. The Senior High School first year Latin class has been divided into teams, of which Louis Brenner and Martin Mazmanian were chosen lead- ers. Each team presented a Latin program. The competition in daily and weekly tests has been keen. BANK NOTES During the past year, bank day in the Senior High School has been Wednesday, until the latter part of April, when it was changed to Tuesday, the day on which all the other schools in the city bank. The largest number of pupils depositing was on February 21st, when the number was 443. On that day, 93 per cent. of the school banked, thus attaining the goal necessary to obtain the two pictures offered by the Edu- cational Thrift Service. The smallest number was on September 17th, on which day only 290 pupils deposited. The average number depositing each week is about 305, while the average amount is about 5180. Many of the rooms have Worked during the year for a 100 per cent. average. Rooms 8 and 9 have made the best record, having had 100 per cent. every week. Room 19 has had 100 per cent. every week from Sep- tember to April. Room 14 has had 100 per cent. every bank day since October. Room 22 has had 100 per cent. every Week from the first bank day in January, while Rooms 1, 2, 12, and 16 have attained the goal many times. 68 THE QUIVER Stefna Czwak of the Junior Class has acted as secretary and kept the records of the entire school, and Stephen Hoyle, also of the Junior Class, has been the bank messenger. In the Yankee division, so-called, which comprises 58 high schools in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, with an attendance of from 47 in the smallest to 2,422 in the largest, our school laas been as high as third place, while it generally keeps about ninth or tent .

During the year, all the Senior classes were organized into clubs, with the following students as presidents: 4A-William Arnold A' 4B-Paul Carroll , 4C-Edward Welles Y 4D-Leslie Arnold In recognition of good class work, several other divisions were also allowed to organize, with the following students as presidents: 'x THE QUIVER 69 3C-Walter Stearns' ' ZA-Edmond Guerin 2D-Burton Howarth ' 2H-Esther Menagazzi ' These clubs held regular meetings, and the class work at this time was carried on entirely by the members. One formal debate was given at the first of the year, the subject being: Resolved: That formal education is a menace to the age. Those taking part were Edward Doonan, Leslie Arnold, Arthur Shevlin, Thomas Kav- anaugh, Adrien Groslouis, and Lazar Lazarides. William Arnold was chairman. At the Christmas season, many of the classes held attractive programs and parties, and the 4A will long remember Ralph Hoyle in the role of Santa Claus. Many discussion groups and debates were held in the various classes through the year. In many cases, the discussions became very heated. The 4C division, in their discussion on Student Government, led by Constance Trinque, became much aroused, and made very definite suggestions for the improvement of our high school. Because of the great interest shown in dramatics, two clubs were formed for the purpose of giving all who desired a chance to express them- selves in drama, to encourage the writing of plays and to develop directors. The Junior-Senior Dramatic Club elected the following officers: President-WILLIAM ARNOLD Vice-President--B. SHOLOVITZ Secretary-T. KAVANAUGH Treasurer-LOUIS MACKTAZ Chairman Program Committee-CLARE FEELY Stage MdfTLGg61'-FRED CALCUTT The Freshmen elected the following as their ofiicersz President-SHIRLEY CARSON Secretary-ELIZABETH WINN Chairman Program C07l'Z77LiftG6-DOROTHY GUYETTE Various one-act plays were presented by each group, and the best plays of the year formed a part of the public speaking exhibition which was held in May. Another year, it is planned to include a course in argumentation and debate, and to organize a debating team. 70 THE QUIVER PHYSICAL EDUCATION NOTES All work in the Physical Education Department was confined to the gymnasium with new material added to the class work. A fine piano and Indian clubs were the chief contributing factors in the extension of class work, making dancing, Indian club drill, and mimetics possible to allxf f The social event of the season sponsored by the Physical Education Department, the Hallowe'en Party, was enjoyed by seve ty-five girls who tried their hands at stunts and games. A real live I 'IJ host contributed additional thrills to the otherwise hilarious evening. The competitive season opened November twenty-ninth with a Volley Ball Tournament. Each class was represented by two teams, first and sec- ond. The Junior seconds, captained by Emelie Potvin, came through the winners. The second event of a competitive nature was basketball. The tourna- ment opened March second and closed March twenty-second. The Senior second team, captained by Elene West, Won the tournament. Miss West's team then met the varsity, and lost with a score 29-16. All tournament games were refereed by members of the varsity team who showed in their performance a keen understanding of girls' basketball rules. This innova- tion was introduced this year, and worked splendidly. Bowling had an enthusiastic following of thirty-six girls, who turned in some wonderful scores. Miss Zita McQuage maintained an average of 79 for the entire season, from November third to January fifth, while four others were dangerously near that mark. ' New games of the organized type were introduced into class work, such as field dodge ball, touchdown, Hemenway ball, and soccer baseball. LIBRARY NOTES We have taken seventeen magazines this year in our library. These were Popular Mechanics, The Magazine World, Vogue, School Arts, The Classical Journal, Forbes, The Scholastic, The Journal of Accountancy, The Etude, The Literary Digest, The National Geographic, L'Illustration, Forecast, Science and Invention, Nation's Business, The Youth's Compan- ion, and The American Girl. Books have been given to the library by Miss Laura Lafond, Mr. Louis Monast, and Mr. Leonard Farley. Among the most popular of the books purchased were We, by Col. Charles Lindberghg Slcyrzvard, by Commander Richard E. Byrdg Girls Who Did, by Helen Ferris and Virginia Mooreg and Gilman of Redford, by William Stearns Davis. The following girls have assisted at the desk during library periods: Marie Sweeney, Adeline Gould, Dorothy McMahon, Hazel Bicknell, Gladys Ballou, Beatrice Sholovitz, and Lillian Marion. THE QUIVER 71 DRAWING NOTES In the Senior drawing class, conducted by Miss Pond, the pupils dur- ing the first term constructed seating plans for the teachers of the Senior High School, and in Miss Crawford's class of Junior girls, similar book- binding construction was carried out for the teachers of the Junior High School. The class of Juniors just mentioned have made interesting, large drawings of castles for the use of pupils at Junior High. Under the super- vision of Miss Crawford, Agnes Graham, '29, and Bella Skolnick, '29, have designed illustrated posters for the school plays and other activities. Rudolph Padyos, '29, has made many show cards for the football, basket- ball and baseball games. The normal school group of Juniors completed interesting border designs on Huckebuck guest towels. W. H. S. monograms have been applied to school neckerchiefs and handkerchiefs by the Senior free-hand classes under the supervision of Miss Pond. The girls of this class, also, have done some graded dyeing of handkerchiefs, and on two occasions have made crepe-paper nut containers for luncheons served to the school committee and high school faculty by Miss Thompson's Freshman cooking class. Forty-five covers to enclose typed programs, done in the Commercial Department, for Miss Merrill, in connection with the Ballon Home Aid, have been painted by the Seniors. From the class problem of surface pat- terns, Phillip Fahrenholz's design was chosen for this purpose. It was mimeographed and used as a basis for the innumerable modifications, by added elements and color, of all the other members of the class. The Senior girls have made designs for purses which they have Worked out in paper twist and wool. I Harold Reilly, '28, has finished lettering a large sign, Rachel F. Har- ris Manual Training School-established 1889. This is placed above the stairs leading to the Manual Training Department at the Junior High School. Murad Narcessian, '28, completed for Mr. Donlon a loose card mas- ter schedule plan, which should prove to be a great aid in rearranging, at any time, the weekly program of teachers, subjects, and rooms. Narcessian also designed the cover for the current QUIVER, for which cartoons have been originated and drawn by Ambrose Kennedy, '28g Emmett Williams, '29, Walter Karczmarczyk, '30, and Edward Davis, '30. COMMERCIAL NOTES Many awards, including certificates, bronze and gold pins, have been won by members of the Senior and Junior typewriting classes for accuracy and speed in typevvriting tests.

LATIN NOTES THE LANDING AT DREPANUM From here the port of Drepanum Receives me to its joyless coasts, And here I lose Anchises, dear, My comfort in my cares and woes. Alas! I lose the best of men, My sire, whom I in vain had snatched From many lurking dangers. Here You leave me, worn with many cares. And yet not even Helenus, The prophet, had to me foretold So much unhappiness, nor did Celaens, dire and wretched bird, Predict to me of these events. The last misfortune, this, the end Of our long course. Thence traveling far The gods at last did drive me here. JAMES M. HACKETT.

Under the direction of Miss Thomson, they not only learned to cook, but to serve dinners as well. They have served many formal dinners and teas. On January 25, 1928, they served a formal dinner to the members of the School Board. A dinner was served March 15 and April 25 to the mem- bers of the ,High School faculty. After noon, tea was served for parents of the pupils in the class on May 17. In June, a Hat rock fry was held by the members of the class at Lin- coln woods. The sewing classes have accomplished many projects this year. Slips, pajamas, negligees, underclothes, woolen dresses, cotton dresses and skirts were among some of the projects undertaken. f I THE QUIVER G ' 'fx 6 QNQNU MV, -. ,,,3W C - 5 L . 1 1928 Fm m'1'1:A1.1.

In football, two regulars were lost the first week, and three more were lost during the progress of the season. The basketball season found Mr. Murphy losing two of his five regulars through the same iniury route. Baseball and track can count two more leaders missing from each team. This seems to be an exaggerated tale of woe, but it is merely the statement of facts, as any student may prove. But in spite of all this, iust run through the following sport report showing the fine results of our hard working coaches and the student co-operation. The season is, without doubt, a great success. Praise is due to our popular coaches, Mr. Savaria and Mr. Murphy, from whom we Seniors hate to part. C f 7 2 IX f Q XX is xx . ,y FOOTBALL Hindered by the loss of Laferriere for the season, and the injury to Captain Damarjian, an equal to any New England fullback, the year looked dark. But it was far from that. Under the rein of Coach Savaria, a fight- ing team was developed which was scored on only twice. Capt. Damarjian played very well in the few games he was allowed action. In the games he was unable to play, he gave his authority to acting Captain Doonan, but always followed the team in practices and games. The outstanding men were: Crane, Cody, Welles, Hoyle, Greene, and Doonan. The season closed very successfully, leaving one of the brightest pos- sible outlooks for the next year with Smith as chosen leader. The letter men are: Damarjian fCapt.J, Doonan, Cody, Crane, Greene, Nasse, Welles, Strickland, McGee, Lenahan, Paquette, Hoyle, Dabrowski, Lund, Brooks, Cayer, Heath, Smith, and Sylvestre fMgr.J.

More interest was centered on this sport through girls' and boys' class and varsity teams than ever before in the school's history, One instance of its popularity is the turning away of four hundred from the East Providence game after all standing and jamming room had been occupied. Amid all this enthusiasm and wonderful playing, our clean, sport-like representative five carried off the Rhode Isl-and Interscholastic League cup and the tie for State Honors. Rogers and Woonsocket were forced to divide this latter honor. Q At the opening of the season, the team suffered through injury the loss of Bunt Doonan, a strong scoring power, and Laferriere, but the wealth of material offset this loss. Captain Welles and Flash Cody were easily the bright lights throughout the season. Vinnie Brennan, the League's highest scorer, the Freshman find, proved the main offensive cog, and gained everyone's popular applause by his fine work. Smith and Hoyle, next year's captain, concluded the strong championship five. Greene, Dar- man, Crane, and O'Rourke were well to be compared with the regulars. Highest credit must be given Coach Murphy, who polished off such a -fine team after losing during the first week two aspirants to regular berths. Coach Murphy has also formed a next year's team fully as strong as this year's.

This record is not so bad as it sounds. With practically no veterans from last year, Coach Savaria has had the task of breaking in newcomers, and his Work is showing wonderful results. The lmprovement of the team during these first three weeks is astounding. Captain Greg Greene is the nucleus and fighting inspiration of the team. Greg's hard work will bring results before the season is much older. Andy Laferriere is making up for the lost time during football and basketball caused by his injury, and is pitching more effectively than any opposing pitcher so far this year. O'Rourke, Hill and Darman are also showing fine ability at first, center, and left respectively. Coach Savaria's strong, guiding hand will bring the season through successfully, with the assistance of his able captain, Greg Greene, and manager, Brosie Kennedy. Scomzs Opp. W. H. S.

Manager Reilly is very anxious to keep them busy, and so he and Mr. Murphy are arranging meets : The opening meet, with Burrillville High was a walk away for our boys. The score was 69-12. Smith looked like the most promising figure. The Fairmount boy took first in the 100-yard dash, running broad jump, and high jump. He came within an inch or so of the League record for the high jump. His next two years will bear watching. Barker and Hoyle showed exceptional ability in the 880 and 220-yard runs, respectively, as did Nasse, Paquette, and Davis in the dashes. Stearns and Lund proved the strong men in the long distance events. The weight throwing prospects look bright, with such men as Damarjian, Welles and Cayer representing us. In developing many new men, Coach Murphy hopes to make this the most successful squad in recent years. THE ATHLETIC FIELD The Barry Memorial Field is slowly being brought into shape. A few days ago marked the completion of the three-mile steel fence around the school's athletic grounds. This last improvement will help greatly, as it will afford a means of acquiring an income at games and track meets. The Alumni Association have other plans of improvement formulating. The possibilities of this field are innumerable. THE QUIVER . 81 HIGHER ATHLETICS Woonsocket High School is represented in higher fields of athletics by many members of the alumni. The New York Giants have just bought Chet Nichols, a star pitcher for W. H. S. a few years ago. Eddie Wool- ley is captain of basketball at Philadelphia Textile, and also a star track performer. Prescott Brown plays an active part with Woolley on the track team. Andy Ingraham is playing squash and tennis at Harvard, while his brother Arthur is in higher tennis tournaments. Away up in--Canada, Frankie Hill is continuing his sport career as he did here a few years ago. Luigi Zocca represents Brown on the track. Even in the coaching part of the game we have one, Bill Smith, being at Burrillville High. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Under the able supervision of our physical director, Miss Cole, the girls' team proved to be one of the strongest since the girls' basketball has been introduced at Woonsocket High School. Only a few games were played, but the girls made a good showing in all of them, displaying the fighting spirit which characterizes all the ath- letic teams, the girls, under the leadership of Captain Elizabeth Welles, made a fine record. The scoring end of the game was due mainly to the excellent shooting ability of Anna Neville, Julia Feeley, Mary McNally and Katie Strzepek. But this fine work could not have been possible without the admirable co-operation and teamwork of the centers, Capt. Elizabeth Welles and Etta Falk, and of our guards, Angelina Spagnola and Esther Mowry, who held down the score of the opponents. Catherine Hill and Stifna Czwak, subs, ably filled in the regular posi- tions without weakening the team a trifle. They, with Katie Strzepek, will prove valuable to next year's team. ' Scom-is I W.

The club chose the name Omicron Beta, signifying Our Best. Officers were elected as follows: President, John Connell 3 Vice-Presi- dent, Raymond Burkeg Treasurer, Bertha Clancy, Assistant Treasurer, Francis Hathaway, Corresponding Secretary, Gladys Vaznaiang Recording Secretary, Edna Sarafiang Chairman of Entertainment Committee, James Heath, Chairman of Welfare Committee, Francis Barrett. A committee appointed to draw up By-laws included John Connell, Elizabeth Welles and Constance Trinque. Mr. Charles A. Donlon and Superintendent James F. Rockett were unanimously elected as honorary members. It was arranged that meetings would be held on the Hrst Tuesday of every month during the fourth period in Room 23. Occasionally, meetings were omitted because of Assembly at that time. When a meeting was called, there was business to transact. The business of the club has been far-reaching. The business part of the Senior Play was successfully managed by this club. The manuscripts of the musical comedy, given under the name of the Lions' Frolic, under the auspices of the Lions' Club, were copied by club members. Essays written by Mr. Murphy's chemistry classes for the International Chemical Contest were copied by this department. During the months of January and February, the Senior Business Club, under the direction of Miss Madeleine G. Cass, sent notices to all members of the alumni concerning alumni records and dues. These records were very important, as they covered a period of fifty-two years, or the classes graduating between the years 1875 and 1927. On September 28, accompanied by Miss Cass, Director of the Club, and Miss Julia Dorrington of the faculty, the Cmicron Beta Club enjoyed a trip to the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Mass., which is now owned by Mr. Henry Ford. There they visited the Inn, the Red Schoolhouse, about which the poem, Mary's Little Lamb, was written, and the old Mill. The Way- side Inn is a historical old place, full of antiques and souvenirs of great men, among them the Marquis de Lafayette. King George III, George Washington, and Henry W. Longfellow. The Club spent an enjoyable and at the same time a very instructive day. A few days before Christmas, the Omicron Beta Club gave a party in the typewriting room. The guests included Mr. Donlon, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Philie, Miss Metcalf, Miss McCombe, and Miss Maher. Gifts were given to each person present, and accompanying them was a poem which was appro- priate to the person it went. Everyone enjoyed himself when Santa Claus -Ray Burke-distributed the gifts and read the jingles. The Club gave a marble desk set to Mr. Donlon and a leather pocketbook to Miss Cass. Mr. Frost took a group picture of the guests. Toward noontime, a delicious lunch was served by the girl members of the Club, and everyone departed calling the party a great success. THE QUIVER ss On the eve of Washington's Birthday, a large group of pupils of the Omicron Beta Club were entertained at a dance at the home of Miss Made- leine G. Cass on Prospect Street. Each member of the Club was allowed to bring one guest. There were different committees appointed for arrangements, John Connell acting as chairman of the Decorating Committee, James Heath of the General Committee, and Harold Reilly on the Refreshment Committee. Miss Cass, the hostess, was assisted by Bertha Clancy, Beatrice Sholovitz, and Constance Trinque. The patronesses were Mrs. William Hunt and Mrs. Irene Ditson, mothers of Club-members. The 'Alpha Iota Orchestra furnished the music for dancing. The party was one of the most enjoyable functions of the year. THE LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club, newly organized this year, was formed by Miss McFee, in order to arouse more interest in the school library, and also to make the library a more attractive place for the students. Committees were appointed to display the most interesting books and magazines, to arrange the book cases, and the girl students themselves were appointed assistant librarians so that they could become more familiar with the library. At the various meetings of the club, programs were arranged by which an author, his life, and his Writings were discussed and read by the members of the club, so that much information concerning the well-known authors was acquired in that way. The club consists of about sixty students, and it has been very successful. The officers are as follows: President, Adeline Gouldg First Vice-President, Elise Genereuxg Second Vice-President, Hazel Browng Treasurer, Dorothy McMahon, First Assistant Treasurer, Alice Howard, Second Assistant Treasurer, Dorothy Kerlewg Secretary, Hazel Bicknell. SIGMA DELTA GAMMA 1 The Sigma Delta Gamma had its beginning in Senior English Class 4B, originating from a suggestion to hold weekly discussions on all topics about which there seemed to be a difference of opinion. Yet, in order not to take time from the English recitations it was decided to hold the meetings on fourth period of each ensuing Monday. In the beginning, membership was restricted to those in class 4B, but later upon unanimous agreement, it was thought best to enable all seniors who so desired to become members of the organization. A constitution was drawn up by Charles G. Hammann and a set of by-laws written by Arthur R. Shevlin. The club was to be governed accord- ing to the rules of Parliamentary Law, and at the first meeting a President, Vice-President, and Secretary were chosen. Mr. Charles G. Hammann was elected President, Miss Doris F. Gobeille, Vice-President, Alvin Hughes, Secretary. At a later meeting, H. Lloyd Strickland was appointed Assist- ant Secretary. 84 THE QUIVER All topics chosen for the discussions were offered and voted upon by the group. Many topics pertaining to school activities, such as Should the commencement dance of the class of '28 be held in the Senior High School Assemble Hall? , and Should W. H. S. remain in the Interscholas- tic League ? , have been discussed. At each meeting, a temporary chairman was appointed for the day, whose duty it was to conduct the discussion. It is hoped that in future years Sigma Delta Gamma will grow to be a prominent phase in this school's activities, and that that work so finely begun will continue to improve as time passes. , THE WOONSOCKET HIGH SCHOOL BAND The graduating class of 1927 took with it some of the best players, leaving, so the people of Woonsocket thought, only a few amateurs who could never be able to rise to the standards of the graduates. Through the expert instruction of Al Messenger and the support of the Lions' Club, however, the band has become one of the best in the state. The band has made several appearances in public, and has appeared at some of our football and basketball games. MEMBERS Cornets: G. Seagrave, C. Nasse, A. Remy, H. Colitz, B. Medling, A. Hodder, E.
