PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING THE QUIVER 3 A Tribute I can sec her yet—a starry-eyed young girl with bright, eager face, looking up at me from her English books in the Freshman class at the old high school; a student doing us credit at college; a fellow-worker with me for years in our Alma Mater. My book of memories has many pictures of Madeleine G. Cass, most of them, naturally, of her as a teacher, full of ambition and initiative, with an affection for her boys and girls and a sympathy with them that did not cease with their graduation, but continued as long as she lived. She had a remarkable interest not only in her own line of work, but in all other activities of the school. Always we wondered that her frail body could “carry on with such energy, but we recognized in her a strength of will granted to but few. The last time 1 saw her—only a few days before she left school—her smile was a bright and her greeting as cheery as if she were still thinking of life as good and expecting that long years of usefulness lay ahead of her. I offer this tribute to the memory of a brave, earnest teacher, the effect of whose influence upon hundreds of pupils can never he estimated. Florence P.

THE CLASS OF 1932 Woonsocket Senior High School ARTHUR ALLAIRE “Arthur has fun and a clever brain. Worth while things he will always gain. Arthur is a boy from one of Woonsocket's leading suburbs, Slatersville. He and his friend, “Jimmy, can often be seen violating the hitch-hiking laws of Rhode Island. Studies hold no terrors for Arthur, but he is most proficient in history. Arthur can write themes and other articles, and we should not be surprised to see him employed as a scenario writer in Hollywood. Arthur did not take part in athletics, but he was a loyal member of all the cheering squads (organized and private). Arthur intends to enter Providence College next year. Here's looking at you, Arthur. Quiver Board (2) (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). LILLIAN ARCHAMBAULT An attractive girl with beautiful hair. Who has a most nonchalant air.

He is quiet and says little but has made many friends. His closest friend is “Gertrude (his model T) and you never see one without the other. The Slatersville boys wonder how they ever got along before Herbie and Gertrude appeared on the scene: for he is always willing to give a fellow a lift. Good luck for the future “Herbie !

JOHN CHARLES BERARD “He came to us a short time ago We will remember him we know. From his appearance, one might suspect that Charles is one of our quiet boys. This impression is not quite correct however. He is one of our best companions and his wit often helps to brighten his corner of the school. Charles is not quite sure about his future plans, but he may attend Providence College. Wherever he goes we know that be will be a valuable addition and a successful scholar. Good luck, Charles! Glee Club (4). LEONORA BONOLLO “Serious and capable, she inspires us all To do our problems both big and small. Leonora is a good, capable student, and is trustworthy and reliable at all times. Whenever it comes to class recitations, checking up on banking, or other various duties, Leonora is always there, ready to help, check, and verify the work. We all know that inseparable group at lunchtime. There’s Leonora, Iola, Sara Susel, Vanda—all good friends and all good students. One of the business world's unwritten rules is that one choose good business associates. Needless to say, Leonora scores on all points. Luck to you, “Lee, and may you excel in other things in life as well as you have in studies at school.

Indifferent to girls, my, oh, my! Did you hear a laugh? Yes, it's “Billie. Billie is one of the most cheerful and helpful boys in our class. His winning smile and black, wavy hair are certainly popular among the opposite sex. “Billie is a hard and capable worker which he proved when he was the stage manager in the Senior Plav. Whatever he undertakes, he usually succeeds. During the summer months, “Billie is a very busy boy around his vegetable and flower gardens. We understand that Syracuse University will claim bim after graduation here, where he will take up landscape gardening. Best of luck, Billie.

Edwin and his brother, Charles, are the most humorous brothers in our High School. Although Charles is the more boisterous, Edwin also has his bits of fun. Edwin s middle name is “Mischief and how he plays up to it! He is always • cen in Room 22, that famous meeting place of all the Com mercial folk. Pink slips are always in demand for Ed, and he is always in line for them -a regular customer. Perhaps the future will find him in the line of the world-famous Wall Street Brokers ? However, success to you, and may your humor always enable you to see the sunny side of life. Baseball (2) (3) (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). ANDREW BRAND “Here is a boy called “Andy Brand, He is always willing to lend a hand. Many high school pupils have profited by Andy’s’' helpful attention to them in the Harris Institute Library. He is, indeed, very valuable to students who seek information at our very much used library He is classified as a general and round' man. “Andy may be seen frequently with his old al' Did' yo'u know that Andy loves to make extemporaneous speeches?

RUTH BRENNER “When chances seem scarce and slim, Ruth will fight and bear up with a grin. With a springy step and a bright smile, Ruthie passes us in the corridor. Everyone turns to give her a second look because she seems so full of vitality. Although as Susie in the Junior play she didn’t know nothin , as Ruth she knows a great deal She is interested in a young versatile musician who plays the violin and trombone. Her favorite song is Sherman Utr-Kinp Through Georgia. “Ruthie excels in algebra and bStteepJbut to hear her speak concerning these subjects one would never think so. Ruthie plans to enter R. I. C.

Treat it gently—it is holy. Antoinette with her sparkling dark eyes and pearly teeth has worked her way into the hearts of all her fellow students She is one of the most popular girls as well as being one of th. prettiest girls in our class. When ’’Net was a ’’frc-shie, she inspired a young ‘‘Longfellow’’ to write a sonnet about The Value of a Classmate Who Is Kind and Sympathetic. It is well known that “Net’s favorite bar of candy is “Oh Henry ” She enjoys having one with her all of the time- especially when she is skating. When she is a nurse, her patients will love her as her classmates do. Glee Club (4), Senior Dance Committee (4). JAMES BUNTING “ ‘Jimmie’ is a lad of mechanical technique. The repairing of clipping machines is one of his feats.” Jin'1® 6 's one of our shy boys and is a great pal of Andy s. He and Andy may be seen everywhere together. “Jimmie is one of our hard workers, namely, the “Bookkeepers, and Typists. In addition to these traits, Jimmie is also Miss McCombe’s right-hand man, as he is indispensable for the repairing of clipping machines, mimeograph machines, typewriters, and so forth. Jimmie has never voiced his intentions, but every member ol the class of 32 knows that he will succeed in anything he attempts. Good luck, Jim! Senior Play Program Committee (4). JAMES BURKE If e’er a time comes when you are tearful, ‘Jimmie’ will always make you cheerful. “Jimmie is one of our quiet and bashful fellows. If you, bv chance, entered Room 22, you would see him busily engaged in his work, for he is determined to succeed. He is a very fashionable dresser, which, together with his brown, wavy hair, certainly attracts attention. The slogan that gentlemen prefer blondes is especially true in his case, for he is certainly sweet on the Jennie part of that famous song. Sweet Jennie Lee. Well, anyway, “Jimmie, whatever you undertake in the way of business, the Class of ’32 wishes you the best of luck. Senior Dance Committee (4), Nu Sigma N i Club (4). FRANKLIN BURTON A little smash-up now and then Is relished by the best of men. If you hear Hello, Pal, or Hi, there, then you know it is Franklin greeting one of his many friends. Franklin is that kind of person who is popular with both sexes, but especially with the opposite sex. His good nature and jolly humor make him welcome everywhere to everyone. Didn't he make a lovable “grandpa in the Senior Play? He also makes an able president of the senior class. Seldom has any one seen Franklin alone. He is continually being followed by his inseparable companion, “Joe. No doubt Franklin will be successful in life as he has been in school.

Everything she does she makes worth while. When you see a tall, stately girl walking along, looking as if nothing could disturb her, you will easily recognize our “Abie as she is called by her numerous friends. Abie is also a good pianist, as the cast of the Senior Play can verify, for she whiled away many a moment waiting for rehearsals to begin. To strangers “Abie may seem quiet, but to her own intimate friends she is known as a good sport. We do not know what she plans to do after graduation, but may the best wishes of the class of 1932 go with her. Quiver Board (4), Glee Club (3).

Look who's here! “Della, our star basketball player. And don't forget she can play baseball, too. Doesn't that blonde hair make you look longingly at her, girls? And when she gets on the gym floor! For the past year Della has been a very enthusiartic follower of our athletics. Of course, it may be purely interest in the game, but from what we hear we wonder. Della is sure to be on hand when one wants help in any way. Although “Della has not confided what her future will be, the best of luck and all success due you, “Della.

Both predominate in Gertrude’s style. It would be impossible to tell all the little things that endear Gert'' to every girl in school. We might tell you to read up all the meaningful adjectives that arc listed in a certain book called “The Personality That Wins, and apply them to “Gert. Her laugh is so contagious that wherever she is, gloom just disappears. “Gert and another senior girl are almost inseparable companions. Her school spirit is shown in her interest in sports. We hear that accepting Offers is keeping her busy. At R. I. C. E. next year, Gert will be a credit to Woonsocket High.

STANLEY CHAPMAN Here is our trackman of much fame. Who by his feats has accomplished a name Stanley, or as he is more familiarly called, Stan, is a young man of vaned possibilities. He has, since his freshmen days, proved his ability as a cross-country runner He is also one of the best half-milers to represent our school in recent years. His capabilities extend also to the stage, as he has proved in “The Sunbonnet Girl. Stan also enjoys the distinction of being one of the tallest if not the tallest boy of the class of 1932. We find Stanley, for some reason or other, is quite interested in Cilver.

Would be difficult for you to meet. Whenever you hear a trilling laugh followed by a scries of minor giggles you’ll know it’s our “Connie. “Connie is our nightingale and her greatest ambition is to become a famous singer. She is very jolly and good-natured and we are glad to claim her as a friend. “Connie” is always seen in the center of a group of girls in the locker room where her jollity makes everyone happy. We don’t know just what “Connie” plans to do after graduation, but we are sure her good nature will carry her through a happy and successful life. Glee Club (3) (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). JULIETTE E. CHARTIER “Her form and figure though petite. Possesses a visage ever sweet. “Julie” is really an asset to our school. Such is the conclusion that many have come to when they see her strut through the corridors. Some might fancy her height a slight handicap in the swirl of social life, but when one determines the graceful swing of her actions on a dance floor, such doubts vanish. Our “Julie expects to enter in training in the fall and we feel sure that she is well suited to her career, for we believe she has the essential qualities to make this vocation a success.

ALBERT CLARK Solitude and peace are what I crave. Be it in schoolroom, forest, or cave. Albert’s fair blond tresses are the envy of most girls. His retiring nature gladdens the hearts of the teachers as he is very quiet. Albert craves solitude, in fact, he would like to be a hermit. Albert and Thoreau have something in common as they both declare that they have never found “the companion as companionable as solitude. Perhaps in years to come when we hear of a person who had written a book on the undiscovered facts of nature, we will wipe our glasses and perhaps sigh and say—“Why, Albert went to school with me! Inter-class Basketball (2) (3). IDA CROCHETIERE “Eyes of an artist in this girl you’ll find. Thoughts of fame keep crowding her mind. Oh! Oh! Just look at this dashing young lady coming along. Why to be sure it’s our own Ida. Ida is W. H. S.’s most outstanding contribution to Swift’s land of Brobdingnag. She is very much interested in skating and may be seen any fine winter night at one of our most popular ponds with-oh, all right, Ida stop blushing. If you have never seen any of Ida’s drawings what a treat you have in store! She is uncertain about plans for the future, but we know Ida that there is a place reserved for you on the ladder of success. Quiver Board (4), Basketball (2) (3), Volley Ball (2) (3). THE QUIVER U JAMES CURRAN “On the mound “Jimmie” is hard to heat. His opponents verify this when they meet. “Jimmie, while not at all extraordinary, is in his characteristics highly individual. He has a remarkable way of holding old friends while out captivating new ones. He is always ready for fun, but never goes to extremes. Need one ask why “Jimmie’s favorite sport is baseball? You know, his ambition is to become a great leaguer and from what we have seen already on the mound, jimmie” shows possibilities. Why is Jimmie “shocked at” the long home work assignments? Knowing him as we do, we feel safe in saying that whatever be his success in life, he will always remain the same Jimmie of our high school days. Best o luck, Jimmie. Baseball (3) (4), Basketball (3). ETHEL CURRIE “Here's to Ethel whose personality plus Attracts admiration from all of us. Ethel is the girl that seems to attract so much attention by her ever-ready helping hand and her friendly manner.

Ethel has proved to be a good student and especially in a chemistry class does she excel, tthel plans to become a nurse after graduation and we envy her patients, although we may rest assured that they will recover when they see this lovely lady. Best wishes for your success, Ethel!

You will see that she has supplies for a week. What’s this! A young Matterhorn? No. It's only our Dot with her stack of books and bulging pocketbook. With her ability to debate, which was shown in the Junior and Senior Debates, “Dot will surely succeed in everything she attempts. “Dot likes to play basketball as her work on our girls basketball team shows. As a secretary she will surely make a success as we can see from her valuable assistance in our bookkeeping department. We don’t know what Dot” plans to do after she graduates, but we send with her, wherever she goes, our best wishes for success in the world.

If you have, you probably know that it is our Vonnie on the way to chemistry. “Vonnie is one of Mr. Murphy's best tube-jugglers, and under his apprehensive eye, should develop into one of the best in the country. “Vonnie is a clever artist, as her artistic work in this year's Quiver definitely proves. She is. it is rumored, much interested in that famous radio program, “Dr Pill and Dr. Pain.” over the P.

Dave is the hoy with latent ability. He surprised us when he got several of his test papers hack: he received the highest mark in several examinations. According to reliable sources ( David Daniels, Esq), “Dave is quite a salesman. He is often mistaken for Paul Whitman, because of his smile, good nature, and the other characteristics of the King of Jazz. Dave is also admired for his brown, curly hair, and his neat manner of dressing. Dave intends to go to some advanced school next year, and then enter into the business world. So long 'Dave'. Dramatic Club (2), Band (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). KENNETH DARLING Here comes our tall man, 'Ken,' Who spends much time reading in his den. Kenneth is the boy with the broad smile and the “trick laugh. He is the mechanical genius of the class, and figuratively speaking, he speaks, eats, and sleeps mechanics. Kenny's favorite occupation is to give a discourse on the working of the various parts of a machine. He and his friends spend a great deal of time expressing their views on the latest inventions. The opposite sex has little attraction for him, so it is said, but we are doubtful. Next year, “Kenny intends to enter Rhode Island College, and take up engineering. Good luck, Kenny. Glee Club (4). JOHN DeANGELIS John always wants to know the 'why's' and 'wherefore's' So he receives responses with facts and 'therefore's’. John is one of the few shy boys who are left. It is no exaggeration to say that John is really afraid of girls because his demeanor proves that conclusively. But however bashful John may be with the girls, he proves his mettle on the football field. He was indispensable to the team and performed his share of the work very creditably. John does not care much for basketball, we notice. John’s hair will never stay combed, but that only makes him the more admired by the ladies. John has not told us what he intends to do after graduation, but he is such a steady, dependable worker that his success is assured even before graduation.

Doris is a tall, slim girl with an ever-ready smile and an o. k. for a slogan which shows her willingness and assent to help others not so skilled in puzzling out intricate interest problems or the like in bookkeeping, in which so many commercial students meet their Waterloo! Yes, that's Doris! Skating is one of her favorite sports. Wonder whether she cuts figures as fancy in skating as those she does in bookkeeping? However, for the sake of auld lang syne, we'll drink a cup of happiness and wish you the best of luck in any of your future ventures. Candy Committee (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). THE QUIVER 17 MARY DEMARA A lady richly clad is she. And beautiful exceedingly. Strikingly different—beauty, charm, refinement, personality and poise are just a few of Mary's magnetic qualities. Mary's ability to dance, entertain, and to excel in all sports, accounts for much of her popularity. Mary’s stunning clothes are the last word in chic” from her ultra modern haircut to her small Parisian evening sandals. Wherever she is, Mary is usually in the center of a throng of admirers and no wonder, did you ever see her blue.eyes sparkle when she flashes that irresistible smile?

EARLE DEMERS “Blue eyes and curly brown hair, No other can with him compare. As one of the handsomest boys of the class Earle is very popular with the opposite sex. But very confidentially, don't you think “blondes are preferred? Earle is quite a chemistry shark, especially if he is working with Babe. He is expected to enter Norwich University and then the class of '32 can claim an army officer. As he is always dressed in the height of fashion for men, he is a “reg'lar Beau Brummel. His outstanding characteristics are a frank and jovial nature, a willingness to work (and work hard), an unflagging loyalty to his friends, and a determination to suceed in whatever he undertakes.

He has been honored in his last year by serving as the captain of the football team. Statistics prove that the number of the “fairer sex attending the basketball games has increased eighty-three per cent since “Jimmie appeared on the court. To those who know him well, he presents a colorful and amiable nature, w-hich, however, cannot surpass his ability to hold friends. Wherever “Jimmie continues his studies, he will show them a few things about playing football.

She loves surprises and has the distinction of being another of our small girls. Her beautiful dark-brown eyes have been commented upon often. And, folks, she has another quality—that of being the quietest. We are sure that Yvonne will never become a mathematician or an algebra shark, but we hear that she intends to become a nurse. We are certain you will succeed, Yvonne! The class of '32 wishes you success.

Besides attaining good marks in his studies, Frank has taken part in athletics. His ability as a football player has brought him some very close friends. There was rarely a game in which he did not give his best. We wonder why Frank is so enthusiastic about cheering—we know that he keeps perfect time with the cheerleader. It is his purpose to continue his higher education at R. I. State. We predict untold success for him, because of his pleasing personality and willingness to support all school activities.

Because of this, much glory has he won Who is a good “pal of the hoys? Who has something that is desired hy girls? You guessed it. It is Frank. Frank s sportsmanship attracts hoys. His golden, curly hair is the envy of many girls. A good athlete, a good student, and a good friend are qualities that describe our Frank. As captain of our basket-hall team and a member of our football team, 1 rank revealed excellent playing. But rumors have been flying around that he is also interested in baseball, and hopes to sign up with Connie Mack some day. But perhaps Frank is fooling us all and has plans of his own.

He can be seen hurriedly flitting through the corridors when passing to classes, and it is said he can pass to the cafeteria in record time. Walter has little time for the opposite sex, so it seems, but still waters run deep. Walter and Miss Laviolette seem to find some hidden delight in discussing certain problems with each other, but we will let you guess the winner of the arguments or shall we say argument? Let the “fois be the evidence. Little, but oh my! Walter. CARL MacDOUGALL “This lad possesses dramatic ability. He portrays all roles with great facility. Carl is always ready with a smile for everyone. Do you remember him in the Junior Play as Parkes and as Andy in our Senior Play? Then he was starred in “The Sunbonnet Girl, the 1932 Junior Play, as Reuben, “the handsomest bud of them all. You may see him on the silver screen in the future, taking the place of one of the Barrymores. In addition to dramatic ability, he possesses a fine voice, and the art of clogging is his.

The aim of this hook is to promote school spirit, to record, instruct, amuse and recall. From a small paper of twenty pages, void of pictures and composed only of literary material, it has grown to one of more than one hundred pages in which are pictures of pupils and faculty, editorials, original fiction, cartoons, sch x)l notes, dramatics, and athletic departments. By the whole-hearted co-operation of the student body with the Board, and the profound interest of our faculty, we have been able to present what we believe is, with pardonable pride, the best in content and the most elaborate in appearance of any year Hxik that Woonsocket High School has ever boasted. Christine H. Moore, 32 48 THE QUIVER School Spirit IN our contact with hoys and girls from cities other than Woonsocket, at some time our conversation turns to school. The relative merits and faults of high schools are dis-cussed and opinions are formed by each person. After listening to our friend, we begin to think, and the following questions arise: What have we to compare with what he tells us about? What can we tell our visitor about the merits of our school? Let us consider under what conditions his school has received these advantages. Do the people of his city support the high school more than the people of our city? Do the students themselves have better spirit? Then, and only then, can we find an answer. We, too, have a good band and orchestra. We, too, have an excellent athletic field with bleachers and a field-house. We, too, have our school social affairs, clubs, debates, and plays. We can pride ourselves on our excellent teaching staff. These things surely answer the first question. We may have a small school in comparison to his. No wealthy alumnus has left us a new field-house or gymnasium. We do not force the students of Woonsocket High School to buy tickets for the various school events; we depend upon their voluntary support. Taking these and other things into consideration, we begin to realize fully the progress that we have made. Then it is our friend's turn to be amazed at our side of the story. He wonders how all this is possible. The only answer we can give him is “School spirit. We can only hope to improve our conditions and to better our position by assisting the school in all its endeavors. It is our duty and privilege to aid the schtxil in whatever way we arc able Wc must get organized into a solid mass to support all the projects of the school. If we do this, we can make Woonsocket High School an institution which will always cause our visitors to wonder. Frank Falk, '32 THE QUIVER 49 An Unusual Character of My Acquaintance ONE summer day about two years ago, I came across a woman with whom I was very much impressed. It was a very hot day in spite of the sea breeze that blew across the fields, and I decided to stop at a quaint, old tearoom for a glass of milk. I entered the room and my first impressions of Sonya Dietrich were lasting ones. She was a middle-aged woman, but had kept a youthful appearance. As she walked across the room to take my hat, I thought an ancient Greek goddess had been transported to the Cape. Her extreme height was made less noticeable by her well-built body. Her long hair, of a snowy-white color, was combed back and parted in the middle. Her eyes were jet-black, and reminded me of the bottomless black pools on the island of Sumatra. Her dazzling white teeth contrasted pleasantly with her eyes. I visited the tearoom quite often from that time on, and Sonya and I became close friends. I often noticed peculiar characteristics in Sonya, and one day, as we sat by the sea-wall, Sonya told me her life's story. She had been a young princess in Vienna during the days when Vienna was flourishing. One day she fell in love with a young poet, but before she could marry him, her father, for certain political reasons, was forced to leave the country. After much wandering, Sonya opened the teanxim where I found her. From my close friendship with her, I learned many things about her. Her neatness was earned almost to the extreme; in her spare time, she was always dusting and rearranging the furniture of her tearoom. To my surprise, she was very genial to all her patrons. This fact broke down my impressions as to just what an exiled princess was like; I had often pictured an exiled princess as one who sulked alone in a dark, gloomy room. Sonya was a very great student of human nature, and would take a great interest in the problems of all her friends. But often, as the golden sun dipped low to bathe itself in the cold waters of the sea, a far-away look came into her eyes. I would never disturb her during these reveries because I knew that she was thinking of the old days in Vienna; the festivals and singing, the soft music and the gentle swishing of long evening gowns, the sparkle of cold champagne, the days of another generation, almost of another world. Then slowly the look of realism would drift back into her eyes, and she seemed to be uplifted by some inner feeling that was unknown to me. I returned to the tearoom last year, but Sonya had gone, and I was unable to learn of her whereabouts. I often wonder whether or not her story is true, but all doubt of its veracity is removed when I recall that indefinable look in her eyes as she told it to me, and gradually I am beginning to feel myself being uplifted by the story, just as she was uplifted by the experience. Frank Falk, '32. 50 THE QUIVER Concerning Oysters T CANNOT eat an oyster! L That may seem to you rather a silly statement, hut it is the truth. I believe that one's disposition has a great deal to do with the food one likes to eat. For instance, a person with a fiery disposition usually (there are exceptions, of course) likes fcxxl which is, in itself, fiery and peppery. A person who is savage or primitive can actually enjoy for his repast raw or half raw meats. One who is diplomatic, suave, or smooth, often enjoys food of somewhat the same caliber, such as oysters. One has been told by beauty experts that a certain shade of face powder or rouge goes best with one’s complexion; that a certain perfume goes best with one’s personality; that combing the hair a certain way makes one look more beautiful than otherwise, and that certain colors in wearing apparel change one’s natural charm. Why, then, should one not know what particular food suits one's disposition? Many of us do. Others, however, eat whatever they are given and either like it or don’t like it—as the case may be. They do not stop to think, however, why they do or do not like it. I believe that the reason oysters do not appeal to me as a food is that my disposition is not diplomatic or smooth as some say. I have that peculiar faculty of often saying the right thing at the wrong time or vice-versa. 1 believe my readers will agree with me in saying that an oyster certainly is smooth appearing and tasting. The first time I endeavored to partake of this particular type of morsel 1 shall never forget. It was quite a while ago. I was particularly taken by their appearance, so I ordered some. After I had deposited one in my mouth, I found I was going to have quite a hard time swallowing it. I finally managed it. If I recall the incident correctly, something startled me. I jumped, and, as I jumped, I unconsciously swallowed the oyster. I later tried many different methods, but the result was nearly always the same. For me the oyster was hard to swallow. One of these methods was to try and catch the oyster unaware by placing it quickly in my mouth and swallowing, but to no avail. I tried others, but the result was always the same. Finally I hit upon the plan I now use. I place the oyster in my mouth and take a drink of water. It usually works. There are many imperfections in this plan, however, as it does not always work with equal success. I remember one instance in particular. I was dining at the home of a friend of mine. I used the method I have described. My host, noting my discomfort, and being in a like state, said: “You don’t like them either, do you?” I believe he must have later worked upon the sympathies of the cook, for I can't remember hearing of that particularly obnoxious food being served in that house again. If you have never noticed which type of food appeals to you and which does not, may I suggest that you do so and see if there is not a point of comparison between the foods and your disposition? Vincent Malley, '32 Family Superstitions SUPERSTITIONS run in the best of families. When Adam went around the wrong side of the apple tree, Eve made him retrace his steps and go around the right way. Lo, down through the ages those unbelievable things called superstitions have been handed down from grandfather to father, and from father to son. Of course, no one really believes in them, but once in a while, just for luck, Sonny will throw a pinch of salt over his left shoulder, and Sis will carry a rabbit's foot in THE QUIVER 51 her handbag. Mother hangs a horse-shoe over the door, because, you know, it is a pretty ornament, and it is identical in shape with the hack of that antique chair which she bought in “Ye Olde Shoppe.” Grandpa has a charm on his watch chain. As it was Grandma who gave it to him, he does not want to part with it, and, besides, it is very pretty. Daddy doesn't want his family to be superstitious. While walking down the street, a black cat runs across their path; Johnny turns his back quickly, and Daddy tells him he is foolish to believe in superstitions. They come to a house that is being painted. Daddy walks around the ladders. Oh, well! if he walked under them a can of paint might have fallen on him! And so superstitions are handed down from father to son to grandson, and then to great-grandson. Perhaps some of us will turn around three times before we dare to enter the gate of Paradise on Judgment Day! Claudia Moran, ’33 Personality in Hats HELEN, I know what to do—let's watch the people coming from church and tell by their hats just what kind of dispositions they have. It will be an interesting way to spend half an hour, since we are not able to go out ourselves. Oh, look! here comes Mrs. Scrooge. We know what kind of disposition she has, drab, colorless and ugly, but there, see? A black felt hat, surely five years old, pulled down over her eyes and ears. It has no decorations whatever. Yes, just what we expected. Mr. Greenup? Oh, yes, here he comes with Mrs. Smiley. Look at that hat! Such a vivid green! That would be Mr. Greenup. It goes well with his boasting and his assumed superiority. But Mrs. Smiley, surely she makes up for him. Isn’t she lovely? That dark blue hat with the spray of white flowers is charming. 1 wish that Mae Friend would pass by. Oh, goody! Here she comes. See that Empress Eugenie with the large red feather. Just the hat for frivolous, gay, artificial Mae. Have you heard of her latest pranks, Helen? They are terribly funny. Who is that coming along now? Our Sunday School teacher, Miss Love. Isn't that hat sweet? That simple pale blue hat just suits her fair complexion and golden hair. Oh, look! she is waving to us! Isn't she sweet? Oh, Mr. Percifield approaches. He has such an affected walk. Jolly fine day, don'tcher know! Helen, look at that hat! Gray felt, turned up brim all the way around. My dear, he makes a fine librarian. Here comes Mrs. Yeller. She is that new woman who is always calling her children home. She runs a very great risk of puncturing her lungs, but she doesn't seem to care. That hat fairly screams of danger. Whatever possessed her to purchase such a fiery red one? A perfect match though, don't you think, Helen? Do you recognize that black derby? Oh, yes, it’s the minister. A derby isn t in my line of taste, but it goes rather well with him. Isn’t he dignified? I don't sec any more people, do you? I guess we have seen all that pass by here. Hasn't this been great fun? After this I shall be particularly careful about the hat I buy. Edith Browne, 1933 52 THE QUIVER ( ( ( ( ( eyi( � i,QyieyieyiQ teyi(!yiQyieyteyieyieyieyj)cyj)eyieyi,cyiQyieyteyzQ The School Club IN our Schixil Club we have students who represent the various interests of the school and whom we shall depict here. First we have Percy Smart, who is a very studious boy and, therefore, is liked by all the teachers of the school because, every day without tail, Percy has his lessons prepared and can always be relied upon to recite correctly. Percy represents the studious type in our School Club, and is a very valuable member of the club. Next, we have the athletic type in Tough Bird, and how he can play in any sport! Football, basketball, baseball, and track find Tough the hero in every game, and he is adored by the members of the sporting class because he can always be relied upon to come through with whatever is needed in the line of a score. As some athletes are poor students, Tough keeps up the standard and is also a poor student, and seldom does his home-work, but is resting on his laurels as a player of sports. Then we have a boy who can be called in plain and simple English a “chiseler.” His name is Neve R. Work, and such a loafer we never hope to see again. Every day we see Neve carrying a big lunch, but never have we seen him carry a book. He never has done his home-work, and the teachers become exasperated with him because they have to spend so much time trying to make him study his lessons. His motto is, “Never do today what you can do tomorrow,” and when the morrow comes Neve is too tired to do anything. One thing we know that Neve does with vim, vigor, and vitality, that is to dash out of the room at the first ring of the dinner bell and be the first in line in the cafeteria to get his daily milk and ice cream. Next, we have the dramatic type in Be An Actor. Be has participated in every school play, and easily wins the audience with his acting. He is applauded every time he appears on the stage, and is liked because he is a happy-go-lucky fellow with a smile and a cheer and a witty remark for everyone. The dramatic club has only recently been introduced in our school, and Be is therefore a valuable member of the club as he brings us the news of its progress. Finally we have in Walter Thomas all the good qualities of the other members of the School Club. He is a very good student, and also has his studies prepared every day as has Percy Smart, and is regarded by some teachers as superior to Percy Smart because he is a harder and more diligent worker. He, too, has participated in the four major sports of the school, and, although he was not so brilliant as Tough Bird, he won as many laurels in the field of sport as did Tough and was always known to be a clean and a fair fighter and sportsman. He, too, was quite a successful actor, and though he was not quite so good as Be An Actor, he nevertheless was a brilliant person on the stage, and was well applauded by the audience. Since Thomas has all the better qualities of the other members, he became the natural leader of the School Club because of his effectiveness in all of the branches that are represented by the club members and has served as the steadying influence of the opposing factions of the club. This completes our School Club. The various interests that are represented in the club have done much to promote the welfare of the school, and as the club is now disbanding we wish them all good luck in the fields they intend to enter. Walter Przybyla, ’33 A Surprise on Mother’s Birthday ONE sunny morning Mother Gordon was busily preparing for her birthday, a time always celebrated in her family, and only a few days away. She was bending over the oven when suddenly she heard the dtxir close softly behind her. She stood up with flushed cheeks and bright eyes, which showed only too plainly the joy of expectation. In front of her stcxxJ a brown-eyed, brown-haired girl about twenty years of age.

Secretly she was very angry. She knew why the light was there. Mother Gordon expected her two married daughters and her son of twenty-three to come,—if they did not forget. Bitty hoped that they would not disappoint her friend again. A plan formed in her mind. Would she do it? Could she do it? Yes, she would! She could. She hurried, lest she lose her courage, to the telegraph station. To Tom (Jordon she wrote the following: “Come at once. Your mother needs you! Betty.” And so she wrote also to the married daughters. Of course, they all hurried to their mother with regret in their hearts and the promise never again to he so lax in their attention. Great was their surprise to find their mother well and happy. Great was Mother Gordon's joy when she saw her beloved family. Betty sat at her small typewriter doing some work. Looking up, she saw a tall young man with black, curly hair, grey eyes, and a firm chin. He had a plate in his hand. As she looked at him, he said. “Just a remembrance of Mother’s birthday. Betty knew then that he was Tom Gordon. After he recognized her, he explained that he had inquired because his mother had spoken of her so often. When she had thanked him, he said, “Please tell me why you told us a lie.” With a frown wrinkling her pretty forehead, she replied, “I didn't tell a lie, did I? Your mother needs you—for her happiness.” Tom's grey eyes looked into Betty’s brown eyes and he knew that she was right. He knew also he would see Betty Baitson many more times or he’d know the reason why! Edith Armstrong, ’33 Marketing WE are going to talk about “bringing home the bacon in its literal sense, that is to say, we are going to write about marketing. There are three stages in a boy s marketing. The first stage is when we are small and we like to go with mother, because we know that she will stop at the candy counter and buy us that lolly-pop. The next stage is when we are at the important age when all the responsibility rests on our young shoulders! We take the wagon willingly and go merrily to the store. Perhaps we are in that frame of mind because our mother has promised to give us the change that we have left over. The last stage is when we leave childhood and come into youth. Then, of course, we cannot think of going to the store for mother. Men don t. But we think the worst thing that can be given us to do is to hunt for something in a department store. We can't ask a clerk to tell us where we can find our article, so we travel all through the store. We get into some departments of the store that make us feel very uncomfortable; we think it's about time we humbled ourselves and asked a clerk. After much trouble, we finally get back on the street again, slightly vexed but understanding a little more about department stores. Another thing we think is very disagreeable is to be called early on a Saturday to go to the store. I can t go on with my cooking until I have five pounds of sugar, says mother. Breakfast? of course not; I must have it right away. Don't bother washing now, that can wait. There is one season of the year when we drop all petty dislikes about shopping. That is the Christmas season. We walk boldly into not one store alone, but several, and walk from counter to counter. Strangely enough, we find what we want without difficulty. If we should not happen to locate what we want, we ask, because we know that everybody has the Christmas spirit. We select very carefully our gift, for we want the receiver to be happy with it. William Booth, '32 54 THE QUIVER That Ole Piece o’ Trash!

Harry looked at Abe in astonishment, for never had Abe, to Harry's knowledge, refused to stop doing anything that even resembled work, to talk. At last Abe came, and, at Harry’s request, told the story of his old gun. “This gun was a 'whopper' in its day, boy. I know it's ole, but I ain't got the heart to throw it away 'cause it saved my life once. I can still remember the time I was up in Alaska a-huntin’ for Kladiak bears. I didn't take no guide along with me. 'cause I knew he would take all the honor of capturing the bear, so I went alone. 'Twasn't long before I spies a big bear cornin’ for me. He was the biggest bear I or anyone else ever saw. Why, he was bigger’n an elephant. I shot into him six times and the only thing that happened to him was that he was gettin’ madder and madder all the time. I ran away from him then, but I couldn't run far 'cause right before me was a hundred foot cliff, with rocks and water below. “I had to choose between the cliff an' the bear, and just when I was a-goin' to jump off the cliff the big bear came and pushed me off. While I was failin' I looked up and saw that big bear cryin' 'cause he lost a nice meal.” “Well, what happened to you?” inquired Harry, who liked to hear the whole story, although he had heard it time and time again. “What could I do but die, son? No one can fall off a hundred-foot cliff and live to tell the tale.” Della DesRochers, '34 Mistaken Identity AT last the night arrived for the grand masquerade dance. A lovely day had just . passed, leaving the night warm, but with a axil breeze blowing. The wind, coming from the ocean, predicted a storm, but on such a wonderful moonlight night no one believed the prediction could be true. Eileen Frost, the charming co-ed whom George Knight, called Earl by all his friends because of his suave manner, was taking, was in her room preparing for the dance. Between a mouthful of pins you could hear poor Eileen mumbling under her breath, “This dress simply won't fit. Oh, why did I ever borrow the thing?” Then she suppressed a giggle. “My, imagine how funny Ichabod Crane would look in this cat costume! It would fit him as well as it fits me. Oh, hang the old dance, anyway. Why, that must be Earl now,” she said, as she heard what was supposed to be the blowing of a horn. Mother,” she cried down the stairs, “tell Earl 1 11 be down in a minute.” sentence. “Oh, keep still,” said Eileen, as she slammed the door of her bedroom. About an hour later, Earl’s car drove up to the Bourrough’s estate and out jumped the cat,—in other words, Eileen. After her came Earl, dressed as a mouse to show that women do have power over men sometimes. This had been Eileen's idea. The dancing had been going on for a couple of hours, when, suddenly, above the noise of the orchestra, thunder could be heard. Before people could speak, the rain and lightning began. The rain came down in torrents and the first streak of lightning caused the light fuses to blow out, leaving everything and everyone in complete darkness. People were heard crying silly remarks such as, “What's happened? “Why didn’t anyone prevent THE QUIVER 55 it?” “I wonder what made it rain like this,” and women who had been dressed in their best array fainted and were carried out in large numbers. During the noise and clatter, Earl and Eileen had been separated. A few minutes later, when candles had been lighted, Eileen saw Earl across the floor. Going toward him, she recognized him by his mouse costume and said, “Earl, please take me home. The mouse turned around with a surprised look on his face, and said, Oh, eh, oh, yes, yes, of course. I'll take you home.” Earl went to get the car and Eileen got in. Through the wind and torrents of rain, Earl's green car was soon stopping at Eileen's home. She said good-night and ran into the house. It was three-thirty when she got to bed, and just as she was dozing off, the tele phone beside her bed rang. “Oh, heck,” said Eileen as she lifted the receiver. Hello! Yes, Earl, what is it? Why, I'm at home; you just brought me here. Where are you? At the dance. What did you do? Go back? You haven't left the hall all evening? Oh, you're crazy, you just brought me home. I am not crazy. You didn't? Well, some mouse did,” said Eileen, getting impatient. “You did! Oh, I've got it now. In the crowd I lost you, and when I saw a mouse standing over in the corner I thought it was you and went after you. I know who it was now. It was Harry, your brother. He wore a costume exactly like yours, and he was the only one who had the ignition keys to the car. Oh, what a joke. I’m very sorry. G x d'night, Earl,” said Eileen, still laughing, as she turned out her light and fell asleep, while Earl, at the other end of the line, was mumbling, Of all the darn luck!” Marie Jalbert, '34 The Glamour of New York WHAT docs it mean to praise and exclaim about the “glamour of New York? No one can realize its fascinations and its thrilling sensations until he has been there. I like it for the thousands upon thousands of different activities going on in the many sections of the city, each of which really constitutes a city and in some cases a foreign country in itself. The thought that most impresses me about New York is the knowledge that every instant so many millions of different things are happening in the life of the city. Hundreds are being born, other hundreds are dying; great ships enter and leave the harbor; pleasure-seeking crowds jam Times Square, attending theatres and “movies” or eagerly watching the latest news reports being flashed about the four sides of the Times Square Building; while a million cabs rush through the streets in all directions, tooting their horns loudly. Great buildings spring up in an astonishingly short time, and others are rapidly torn down to make room for the ever-increasing demands of commerce. . _ . VT I caught my first thrilling glimpse of New York as I sailed in by boat. This New York is a hazy scene in comparison with the gay lights of the same New York at night. Indeed, it was a very sleepy New York at five-thirty in the morning, with its skyscrapers and their gigantic lurking shadows overlooking a blackish-gray haze of fog. The only way to see New York is to go on a sight-seeing bus and tour about. 1 had the principal points of interest shown to me by a real New Yorker. I couldn t help noticing how proud this man was of his city, and how happy he was to have the opportunity to show a visitor around the city to which he was so attached. The very spirit of it was in his blood. , The Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue and Thirty-Fourth Street is a most impressive structure of one hundred two stories. It emphasizes the modern era of architecture, making a striking appearance by the vertical chromium strips on the four sides. 56 THE QUIVER On Park Avenue I saw the new Waldorf-Astoria, which gives a vital modem impression to a distinguished tradition. Its twin towers rise dominant above Park Avenue. To people from small towns who are used to the ordinary routine of the street car, the subways and elevated are a jostled experience. In the subways, everyone is bustling and hustling, each to his own destination. It is very easy to get lost and find oneself in an unknown suburb. The subway trains are always crowded, doors opening and closing, people changing from car to car, and newspapers rattling everywhere. I had the opportunity of visiting the National Broadcasting Station. I found it very interesting to watch the program being broadcast, just as if the artists were in a theatre. Every action is performed on the stage before an audience that is separated only by a glass screen. Broadway at night, otherwise known as the “Gay White Way,” is a fascinating sight. The buildings and advertisements blaze a glittering way of brilliance. Everything is bright with colored lights, people rushing around with happy, eager faces, theatre lobbies buzzing with laughter and gaiety—society showing off its splendor in its evening clothes, ermine wraps, and jewels. New York is truly a community of opportunity for everyone—rich or poor, talented or otherwise. Its schools, parks, playgrounds, opportunities for culture and education, are unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Homeward bound, I gave one last look at the tower-topped metropolis and cast a sigh of regret, but also an eager one of keen anticipation for my next visit to modern New York. Phyllis Murray, '32 A Breath-Taking Escape p ARIA one morning I went to my aunt's house. I remained there all day and I certainly had a fine time with my cousins. At last it came supper time, and my aunt insisted that I stay until supper was over. I had figured on going home earlier, while it was still light, as I had a full two miles to walk before I reached my home, but after taking one look at the most appetizing meal I had ever seen, I stayed. I certainly did justice to that meal. While I was thus employed, my uncle, who had picked up the evening paper, uttered a low whistle and commenced to read the following item: “A desperate criminal awaiting a trial of murder today broke jail. Authorities advise all living in Belmont section to bar all windows and doors after dark, as the criminal is a raving maniac.” I certainly can t say that I felt very jovial on leaving my aunt's house that evening. I couldn't get that article about the escaped maniac out of my head, and for some reason or other, as I walked down the street leading from my aunt's house, I kept glancing behind me. I then took notice of the weather. It was a dark night, a strong wind was rising, accompanied by the low rumble of thunder and occasional flash of lightning which is the assurance of a storm. A perfect night for robbery or perhaps a murder! A cold shiver ran up and down my spine as I thought of the newspaper account. At length I arrived at a fork in the roads dividing two paths, both of which led to my house, but one path was shorter, although not so well lighted as the other. Thinking to end this feeling of suspense the quicker, I started down the shorter path. I had walked for about ten minutes, when, on one of my observation glances, I perceived the figure of a man coming up the road. I quickened my pace into a run when I discovered that the figure was coming at stop speed and to my horror I discovered that the pursuer was swinging something wildly in the air. Beads of perspiration streamed down my face as I realized that this must be the maniac, and that it surely must be a THE QUIVER 57 knife which he flourished so freely in his hand. My breath was almost exhausted when 1 thought that I surely should he murdered in cold blood by the fiend following me. I suddenly turned a bend in the road, on one side of which stood a huge boulder. Using every ounce of energy that I had left in my body, I jumped behind the rock. There I waited like a lion timing his prey. As the fugitive came by, 1 delivered a sounding blow on his head with a rock. The man uttered a low groan and quietly stumbled to the ground. Without waiting to look at his face, for fear he might be feigning, I started down the road on a run, refreshed by my short stop. I soon came in sight of my home, and I thought that if the song “Home Sweet Home hadn't already been composed, 1 certainly w-ould have created it at that moment as I stumbled across the threshold and landed in a big arm chair. For a few minutes I was unable to say anything, but when I regained mv breath I made up for lost time. When I. at last, finished my tale of horror, my father grabbed a lantern and accompanied by my older brother, we set out. Arriving at the spot, my father lowered the lantern to get a good look at my victim's face. His exclamation warned me that something was wrong, and wrong it was, for the man turned out to be my poor Uncle John. It was a strange procession that entered my house that evening as my unfortunate uncle was carried in by his legs. After fifteen minutes of first aid administration, my uncle revived. The only explanation he gave for his appearance on the lonely road was that he was trying to return my forgotten gloves. That then explained what I believed to be a knife. And this ended what I believed to be a breath-taking escape from a raving maniac. Patrick Curran, '34 M' bat an Old Manuscript Told LOOKING about an attic that had been closed for many years gave me a sort of 1 haunting sensation. The attic was filled with old trunks and boxes which I began to ransack. They were mostly filled with old-fashioned clothes, but in one I found a little teak wood box. Upon close examination, I saw that it was carved with many grotesque figures and serpents which I imagined must be Chinese. The box. which opened easily, was lined with royal purple velvet and contained a Chinese gold bracelet, carved and jewelled, from which I gathered that it must be very old and valuable. When I put it back in the box I could hear paper crackling, and pulling up the lining I found an old yellow manuscript. I sat down on one of the trunks, and as I started to read I felt myself being transported to the ship named the Sally Ann in the year 1842. Tom B., the owner and captain of the boat, had a deadly enemy called the Black Hawk. Both of them had heard of the famous Fu-Tan bracelet belonging to the last Empress of China, who had died recently. The country was disturbed because the bracelet could not be found. Both Tom B. and the Black Hawk were going over to China because they both had received messages from Chan Wong, a traitor to the country, that he had the bracelet in his possession and that he was willing to sell it at a great sacrifice. Here the parchment was so stained and yellow that the writing was not readable, but when I came to another page it continued. The Black Hawk reached China first, but, as he did not know where Chan Wong lived, Tom B. took the chance that he had not, as yet, found him. Calling a little Chinese boy, he sent a message to the Black Hawk telling him of an address to visit. Thinking it was the address of Chan Wong, the Black Hawk unknowingly walked into the trap set by Tom B. Tom B. stabbed him and thought he had made a great accomplishment. He easily got to Chan Wong, purchased the bracelet, and left for home. When he reached there, he felt that the Black Hawk’s followers were pursuing him, so he left the box with an old sea captain. 58 THE QUIVER g� ae -, ae g e ge e 'S Kse ’se rae sev5evs(? t e a( ae� ae� ae se) e ’Sg aG tie ac 50 e) c aeva The manuscript ended here, and when I asked the old man, in whose house I was, about it, he looked at me in horror because I had dared to open the box. He said that a one-legged man had left it in this house and that it had been there for generations unopened. Everyone had been too superstitious to touch it. Carried once more on the wings of time back to the twentieth century, I wondered if Tom B. had ever been killed for revenge. Rita Bliss, '34 My Yacht AH! Here she comes steaming up to the wharf, one hundred and fifty feet long, a . beautiful sight with her new coat of paint and her recently polished brass. “The Flying Goddess' is her name, and it certainly suits her. I am full of pride to be her owner. Come now, I will take you aboard her. We ascend the gangplank to a luxurious deck where gay, young people are scattered about the deck in animated groups. To our right is a flight of stairs, at the fix t of which is a perfectly fitted kitchen containing a sink, an electric refrigerator, and a stove. A jolly, red-faced chef is preparing a delightful luncheon. We open a door and enter the dining room. What a sight to behold! A radio, lounging chair, and a cabinet full of the daintiest of glassware that I have ever seen. We ascend a flight of stairs onto a glassed-in deck, where the captain and his guests play cards or a game of pool. We return to the deck, crowded with merry groups, and, to our left, on the other side, are the cabins for the crew, guests, captain and his wife. The captain's room has everything in it from a smoking stand to a shower. As we return to the upper deck, the captain shouts, “We’re off,” and smoothly this beautiful goddess of the sea sails down the bay. Norma Crowell, '34 The Center Piece CARL WRIGHT had been living in his grandfather's home for many years. It was situated on a beautiful green slope far from the city. Carl, who was twenty-four, loved the old mansion for its air of mystery. There was one riddle he had never been able to solve, and it was that of the old oak table. Here this story opens: A large oak table stood in the center of the spacious living room. The table was so large that it was extraordinary. Carl had a feeling of suspicion every time he regarded it. In the middle of this table was carved a huge, dark center piece. On the surface was carved a monster of a face, and, curiously enough, a huge hand, rested upon the face with the forefinger pointing downward. One night, after trying in vain to sleep, Carl decided to get up and take a walk. As he sat up and put on his lounging robe, he heard footsteps beneath his window. As he walked towards the window, an object struck him on the nose with such force that he was stunned. When he was able to think clearly, he looked around. The moon sent its beams’ full extent into his room, and finally Carl saw a small package lying at his feet. Hastily he picked it up, and found a note with a stone attached. This, then, was what had struck him. He turned his lamp on and opened the note; it read as follows: “Your grandfather, before he died, requested me to do this. I am carrying out his wishes. By following my directions, which will seem very difficult, you will probably be a very happy young man. My directions are as follows: Your success lies East. Facing East you find difficulties. First take a dusting cloth (it sounds odd?) THE QUIVER 59 and dust the largest pieces of furniture. A finger and a ring will guide you. Thus ended the odd note. Carl knew not whether to take it as a joke or to consider it seriously. He decided on the former course and went to bed, hut did not sleep. Two days later he had practically forgotten about it, hut the following morning a note was found at his bedside. It said, “Please follow out my previous directions. You will never regret it. So Carl decided to take the matter up. The following day he faced east and found himself facing the living room. He had a cloth in his hand, and commenced dusting the largest furniture. He began with a desk and in a small pigeon-hole he found a note. “Keep working straight East. Do not give up now!” it said, ?hen he finished he walked towards East and bumped into the table. “Well. I may as well dust this. He felt foolish and without reason. As he dusted towards the middle of the table, he dusted the center piece, the ugly face. He dusted in and out of the lines of the face carefully. Suddenly he started. He rummaged through his pockets and found the first note he had received. He read the last sentence, A finger and a ring will guide you.” He looked af the center piece. There was the huge face and a forefinger pointing downward, and could it be! Yes! There was the round symbol of a ring. Why, he felt as if he had the mystery practically solved. He dusted the finger and ring as he never had done before. He didn t know what else to do. He dusted, or still better, he rubbed furiously now. As he did so, his finger came in contact with the tip end of the wooden finger, and the face actually turned midway around and stopped. Looking down, Carl, who had been holding his breath, breathed now and then held it again, for he saw money, money everywhere, check books, famous miniature pictures. He gasped! Then, to add to this astonishing situation, a very pretty girl stepped out from behind a velvet portiere. “Who-who-who are you?” he stammered. m “You sounded like an owl. if you'll pardon my saying so. she laughed, but I am lean Wain. Your grandfather had hidden his monev and paintings so that no one could secure them. He chose me to give you directions for obtaining them. I thought this a good idea, although dangerous in case you spoke to the police, and carried it out Your grandfather had that horrible center piece for the purpose of concealing his wealth. “Well, I-I never,” said Carl at last. But months later he did, and he had a pretty mate to share his wealth. Gladys Belanger, 34 A Little Urchin WHEN I came to New York for the first time, I decided to go on an observation trip, conducted by myself. I had seen the richer districts, and I now took the subway to the Lower East Side. , I had been there but a few minutes when I was met bv a fair-haired child who came running up to beg for a few pennies. He had sparkling blue eyes, with long, blond eyelashes, and a snub, impudent nose, which was very dirty. Up at me. from beneath the dirt and grime, beamed a round, little face with a ruddv complexion, which was certainly a contrast to those of other pale, wan East aiders. His dirty, uiy kempt flaxen hair was tousled in wild disorder. He wore only a ragged pair of overalls which’came to his knees. The shoulder straps of these faded blue overalls were slipping alternately off his shoulders, causing the child much annoyance. He wore no shoes, and his feet were dirty and calloused. His manner was very bold as he said, Cmon, Mista gimmee a jit, wilya? After finding out that a jit was a nickel, I handed him a quarter and found his hand dirty and sticky. As I walked off, leaving him in wonderment he recovered his speech and said in an awed voice, Gee, t anks, Mista. William B. Plasse, 34 60 THE QUIVER Mayflowers I wonder how each Mayflower knows At just what time to stir and rise From its snug bed neath leaves and snow And bravely push up toward the skies. But when it shows its wee, pink head Above the dark and mouldy leaves, We know warm days are just ahead With birds and grass and leafy trees. So when we smell its fragrance pure Or find the cheer it seems to bring. We look around and then feel sure That all this happiness means Spring. Marilla Tabor, 33 My Dream I wish I were a little brook, To ripple through each shady nook, To trickle o'er the mossy ground. And glide along without a sound. I d go through each secluded dell. And down the hills I'd rush to tell That I bear leaves from far to near; My constant gurgling you would hear. I’d pass by cities great and small. By noisy mills and churches tall! If you're a brook, come, flow with me, For some day we shall meet the sea.

THE QUIVER 63 ■ Orchestra and Band The W. H. S. hand, functioning for its second consecutive year, played at many of the fix)thall games of the recent season. The hand also marched Memorial Day and on the evening of the opening of the (Jreat White Way. It played at the appearance of Major General Smedley Butler. This unit was under the supervision and direction of Mr. Grady. The orchestra, also under the direction of Mr. Grady, proved its ability by its noteworthy rendition of the musical score for Sunbonnet Girl. The orchestra played at many assembly programs during the year. It also played for the night schcxil exercises. A concert, in which orchestras and hands from both the Woonsocket Junior High and Senior High Schools tcxik part, was held in the Junior High Auditorium on the night of May 6. The Glee Club was featured in programs during the year, and displayed much ability and talent. This group was also under the direction of Mr. Grady. The band which competed in the Rhode Island State Contest for Secondary Schcxils won first place in the class in which it was placed. History Notes In the Junior classes there has been a study of the Constitution and also Civics; this has come in the study of American and Rhode Island History. In the Junior classes, also, there have been given by different members of the class biographic sketches of prominent historians. One word tests were given by Miss Connor in her classes in American and Ancient History. These tests are more familiarly known as the quiz.” In the Medieval History classes of Miss Mahony, there were very interesting essays submitted by the pupils, dealing with characters that predominated in the medieval period.

The Cooking Classes enjoyed a very splendid educational trip to Turner Centre System and H. F. Hood and Sons at Providence through the courtesy of these concerns. Here the students visited the milk and ice cream plants and with the aid of guides were able to view the different steps in the process of the pasteurisation of milk and chocolate milk. At the ice cream plant they studied its manufacturing. In cooking, each student made a poster to show the proper food elements in order to retain health. In June all of the cooking classes enjoyed an afternoon outing at Lincoln Woods where the students prepared their own supper in the form of a flat-rock fry. In sewing, about the same line of work as in previous years was carried out. Many pretty pieces of underwear and outside garments were made. A new plan was begun for the last eight weeks of school in the Home Economics Department. A chart with the names of each student was made. The title of this chart was “Personality, Ability, and Accomplishments. At the end of each lesson the students received gold stars for 90'100%, blue stars for 80-90%, and red stars for 70-80%. This has been an advantage to all and improved the work of many. The students have been very much interested and enjoyed doing it. It showed each student where she sttxxl with her classmates in these three phrases, namely. Personality, Ability, and Accomplishments. It has put each student in the race with each other and has given excellent co-operation within the different classes. Drawing Notes The students in the Commercial Art Classes have made posters for the various athletic and social events of the school year. They made posters for the Senior Play “Skidding, the Junior Musical Comedy,' “The Sunhonnet Girl, and posters for the Senior and Junior Prom. The annual contest for Tuberculosis posters was held in April. Seniors, Juniors, and some Freshmen made posters for this event. William Langlois of the Junior Class received first award; Walter Tepcr of the Freshmen, second prize; and John DeAngelis of the Senior Class, honorable mention. Several pupils of both Miss Pond’s and Miss Crawford's drawing classes were represented in the Washington Bi-centennial exhibition of patriotic things which took place at the Harris Library in February and March. The work shown comprised words of Washington lettered in monastic text within decorative borders, quotations about Washington on large blue cards rendered with speedpens, water color studies of men and women in Colonial costumes, a large plan of the grounds of Mt. Vernon and Washington's Coat ot Arms. 66 THE QUIVER Physical Education Notes Class teams were organized in volley hall, basketball, baseball, and bowling. Many folk dancing groups were also formed. In volley ball this year the Freshmen proved to be the strongest of the class teams and won the championship by defeating the Seniors. In basketball, which has always proved to be the most popular sport among the girls, the Seniors came through with flying colors by defeating the Juniors and Freshmen in two successive games. The former game which was with the Juniors was played as a preliminary to the annual Senior-Junior game of the boys. The score was: Seniors 16, Juniors 9. In the game with the Freshmen, the Seniors displayed their scoring ability when they scored 33 points to 2 for the Freshmen. This game was played in the afternoon. Bowling was introduced in girls' athletics this year and has proved to be a very popular sport for the girls.

Miss Metcalfe organized a Debating Club. This organization met Monday afternoons after school and was composed of ten members. Two interesting and well prepared debates were given during the year. One of these debates was in the form of an inter-class debate between the Juniors and Seniors. The Juniors won this debate by a close margin.

The interest shown in this project was proved by the fact that eighty members were enrolled. Many of these were Freshmen. Meetings were held the fourth period on Friday. Miss Metcalfe was in charge of the club. An election of officers was held, and the following were chosen: President Frank Falk Vice-President .....................................................Ruth Brenner Secretary .......................................................Dorothy Grant Many entertaining programs were presented before the club.

This is different from previous years, and in this way does not eliminate pupils taking other than the Commercial Course. The members number sixty-nine. A committee was chosen for the drawing up of the Constitution and By-Laws. This committee was headed by Frank Falk. Another committee for the purpose of selecting a name for the club was chosen, and it was headed by Mary Foley.

Our athletes have always been noted for their clean and numerous victories and their spirit of sportsmanship, and so our teams this year have followed the splendid examples set by our predecessors. Representative teams from Woonsocket High School have been in the Interscholastic League competition this year. We had a small but spirited football team, which per-formed the almost impossible task of defeating Cranston. Our basketball team won the championship of the city in the Tri'School Meet. Our baseball and track teams promise to maintain their usual standards. Football Football this year proved to be a very successful affair from every point of view. Our list of victories was an unusual one. Our team played a grand total of nine games and won six games. These three defeats were at the hands of New Bedford, Hope, and Pawtucket. The New Bedford defeat seemed to bring the team out of its lethargy, and they then proceeded to win three games in a row. , The Cranston game was long looked forward to, and our crowning victory over the previously undefeated “Green Thunderbolt” makes the game worthy of special notice. Cranston-Woonsocket Football Game The stage was all ready. It was a typical setting for a Frank Merriwcll story in which the team of midgets overcomes the team of giants in a brilliant last-minute rally. It had started the season with a crash and was thundering its way through the league schedule. Now Cranston was to meet Woonsocket. The excitement in the school was great. In all the corridors, boys and girls were voicing their opinions concerning the score of the game. The student body was thrown into a still higher pitch of excitement by the “pep rally” which was held to let the boys know that everyone was supporting them. At last the great day came. Cranston was well represented, and her bright green banners were conspicuous. A great shout rang out from the spectators as Woonsocket's team came out to “warm-up. Our boys seemed to appear smaller and smaller as we compared them to the man mountains of Cranston. THE QUIVER 77 ? ae� ac 5G rae e tie ?se� ae e ae)ae)?ae)?5c� 8e t e� se !ae ae� se� sc se i8e !ae)iae)!se ise)!8e gG iSew Then the game started. Woonsocket's team seemed to appear larger and more powerful as the hoys ripped holes in the wall of the green mammoths. The line and the hacks synchronized and worked together so that they seemed to he one great machine. The game ended with the final score of 19-0. It was a great day for Woonsocket. The hoys had gone out there, supported by the students, and used every hit of strength, skill and grit that they possessed; the score shows the results. A big victory demonstration was held that evening, for Woonsocket had a right to he proud. Our team was the first to win from Cranston in over three years, and what a glorious victory! This game should serve as an example to Woonsocket teams of the future. Let them remember that no matter how great the odds are, as long as the hearts of the hoys are filled with the old Woonsocket spirit, they can overcome anything. This year our team possessed indomitable energy, a fine coach, and a capable captain. The second annual game with Mt. St. Charles found the victory again going to our team. We are sure the team will go forward with the same untiring energy to another successful season next year. The start given by the previous team to the profit fund rose to startling heights this year. It was the most successful season in a financial way that Woonsocket High School has ever known. The line-up of the 1931-32 team is as follows: Captain “Jimmy” Demers........... “Jakie” Robertshaw....................... George Kokolski .........................

Although the team played a hard schedule, they won several games and achieved a victory over the formidable Franklin five. To be sure, our team did not secure first place in the Interscholastic League, but they gave a very creditable showing. As proved true the previous year, an early defeat by Commercial practically wrecked the hopes of securing the pennant. Two defeats by the invincible Pawtucket quintet proved fatal. Pawtucket is the only school in the league to go through an entire season undefeated with the exception of Woonsocket. Some time after the beginning of the new year, the team fortunately secured the services of “Jimmy Demers and “Babe Hachey, who were ineligible at the start of the season. These two, together with Capt. Frank Dzaman, formed the mainstay of the team for the remainder of the season, and performed excellently. The Junior-Senior game this year found the Senior boys bowing to the underclassmen. Our team this year consisted of Capt. Frank Dzaman, right guard and later right forward; Jimmy Demers, left forward; “Babe” Hachey, right guard; John Horbay-chuk, left guard; Henry Kogut, center. “Jakie Robertshaw, “Mike” Kopytko, and Walt Pryzbyla comprised the background of our first-string substitutes. The Tri-School meet between Mount Saint Charles, Woonsocket High School, and School of Commercial Sciences was played in the Armory this year. This was a new game on our schedule, and we are proud to say that Woonsocket High School won the silver loving cup offered to the school which gained the highest number of points. The results were: Woonsocket High School, 58; School of Commercial Sciences, 41; Mount Saint Charles, 28. This game replaced our last scheduled game with Mount Saint Charles and was well attended by the student body. The schedule of games and the scores for this season is as follows: Date School Opp. W.

Woonsocket High heeded his call, and while it is too early in the season to make any predictions, we think that Coach Savaria has turned out a very powerful team this year. Graduation took away several of our mainstays, but much new material has developed. In the Interscholastic League, our team has won two out of the three games played. Our most notable triumph was a 10-0 victory over the previously undefeated Hope High nine. We feel quite confident that this year's team will equal the record of the W. H. S. teams of the past.

One day Miss Riggs inquired of some Freshmen girls, who were new at basketball, some of the terms of basketball. The girls shooting for this basket will be 'forwards,’ ” she said; “what will the girls shooting for this other basket be called?” Answer: Backward.” While discussing symbols and abbreviations in English, the class came to the abbreviation “Bart.” Miss B.: What is this abbreviation for?

Fair Julie” sans spirit and her dimple not so bewitching, Lil” fretting and scolding at her hemstitching. A raging, fighting Earle, a stupid, witless Ruthie, And Chester minus a smile or cheer—morose, downcast and moody. A cross, discordant Grace who knew not a single song, A Margaret, giddy and just a-flappering along. A tongue-tied, stupid “Vinnie, who could never drawl a pun, An ever-solemn Vivian, who not a single heart e'er won. Contradictions such as these would never be quite apropos, For Senior portraits thusly framed would in time to come, I know, Oft bring a sigh, nay, even a tear; so let them go now To live again in the framework where we loved each one so.

The Psi Chi U Club (1926) holds regular meetings and has a great many social activities to their credit. In April, 1931, the club members held a formal dinner party at the Weber Duck Inn in Wrentham, Mass., covers being laid for fifteen couples. On June 12th, a June Moon” Dance was held at the Winnesucket Country Club with an attendance of about 150 couples. The ballroom of the Country Club was attractively decorated in deep pink and pale green. Several spotlight dances proved exceedingly popular, and a feature of the evening was the June Moon” novelty dance—the dancers swaying to a popular waltz tune with the only lights coming from the mellow moon overhead. In a word, the evening proved a merry one for Woonsocket's younger set. The formal opening of the Psi Chi U social season for 1931-32 was in the nature of a Hallowe'en Jamboree, a costume party at the Country Club. The club-house was THE QUIVER 97 e ae ab ac !ae� ae� 9e ac� se 3e� ae ae ae ae� ae� Be� ae ae� ac 'ae ae 3e ae aO'3C se 3e aeKiGj-v :’ transformed into a veritable spooks paradise in recognition of Hallowe'en with decora' dons in a color motif of black and orange and cornstalks, pumpkins, autumn foliage and a variety of lanterns as reminders of the harvest season. The picturesque costumes of the dancers were both colorful and entertaining, proving an unending source of amusement all evening. Taking cognizance of the distress that exists in the city as a consequence of decreased employment during the present economic crisis, our club held a Bridge and Whist in Harris Hall on February 12th, the proceeds of which were donated to the Milk Fund. The party proved a great social and financial success. On January 15th, the club's Annual Soiree (the Second) was held at the Miami Ballroom, and even surpassed the First Soiree in a social and financial way. Bob Mac-Donald's orchestra presented many novelty dances that were very popular during the evening and were enjoyed to the utmost by the club members and their friends. The club planned a Gala May time Dance to be held at the Miami on May 20th, and at the time this book is going to press they are also planning an excursion to Montreal to serve as a fitting close for a very successful social season. The officers of the Psi Chi U Club are: President, Cornelia Doonan: Vice-President, Hazel Rogers; Corresponding Secretary, Evelyn Drouin; Recording Secretary, Celia St. Jean; Treasurer, Irene Stasz.
