In this small space allotteml to the cnlitor. he wishes to express his sincere appreciation for the hearty co-operation of all those connected with the publication of the Aftermath of 1915. ' The amount of work required was greater than we supposed, but it involved more pleasure also. Particularly is this so in our relations with the faculty advisory board and the business men with whom we came in contact. To Mr. Burbank. the Printer, we owe what merit the book may have typographically. To t.he Howard-Wfesson Engraving Co.. we owe a co-operation aml promptness at all times. Acknowledge- ment should be made also of the courtesy and uniform good work of the Bushong Studio. anal of the suggestions given us by the members of the faculty advisory boaril consisting of Messrs. Perry, Andrews. Greenwoocl, and Darrah. As we look through this book. we see many imperfections, but we have tried to make it the Hbest ever . In striving to please and not to offend we may have omitted some of the spice but we hope none of the tlavor. VVe hope that in after years. when you glance through the pages. it will recall many pleasant memories of those 'tgood ohl days at English and at Commerce. Because of this and because it is a book of English and Connnerce. we hope you will appreciate it. and we of 1915 shall love it for those reasons and because it is our own. The Editor.

JAMES FRANCIS MCGUINNESS, Jr. Q HE workings of nature have sometimes been likened unto the doings of a. giant. Eaiwliqiiakes and the eruptions of volcanoes are often charged to the restless moves nv ,Nm of an unseen spirit. If we were to hark back to the songs of Grecian Mythology countless legends of Giants If! ' would lead us to believe that the spirits of ancient fable really existed. Homer would have us know that Jupiter was a spirit inoarnate. Colossal works of nature constructions are said to be the abodes of the gods. The hurricane is sometimes pictured as being the passing of the windl god. while the tornado was believed by the Greeks to be the handi- work of Neptune. And so down through the space of time. the imaginations of some fertile brain have spiced the literature of centuries. 1 am going to tell you about the doings of another giant. This one has not passed into the opaqueness of elapsing years. but, on the contrary. has been clothed. fed. harbored and even stimulated into activity' by the hand of man. In ancient times. this giant made a few foolish mortals believe he favored them, and history sums up their eareers in a few brief lines. The brother giants of the one I have in mind have all passed away being annihilated at the hands of Education and Religion. This last one. however. was not to be caught so easily. and being a, cunning and farsighted individual. he allied himself with his henchmen. Ambition a11d Lust. Ambition was not so easily won over as might be expected. and for some years was inideeided whether or not he should array him- self with this titanic monster. By mutual agreement our giant and his henchmen. were to meet upon the banks of the sea of Ages. Let me pieture the scene to you. Ambition. tall and stately. clothed in robes of purple silk, paced to and fro awaiting the coming of his strange fellow beings. His limbs were neither large or muscular 17 and a slight stoop in his shoulders almost took away his stately poise. His head was the distinguished member of his physique. A high, noble brow. about which curled tasseled rings of raven hair. offset a long straight nose. Deep set eyes which bore traces of neither color 1101' expression fiickered unceasingly. while thick lowering eyebrows almost hid them from sight. His mouth and ehin with one accord seemed to cry out. Do not try to command me. Lust arrived. and standing to one side of Ambition. resembled the bent form of a half man. half boy. Clad in a close fitting gown of crimson. he was not unlike the reflection of a small bonfire in the woods at dusk. His rat-like eyes never removed themselves from the face of Ambition. A thin yellow band of silk held his shaggy. red hair in place. while large bony hands twined and untwined them- selves as a smile played about the corners of a weak mouth. The rat-like eyes suddenly lost their glittering as they became iixed on something behind Ambition's shoulder. The claw-like hands forgot to perform their endless twining. Ambition turned to follow his gaze. which remained steadily fixed on the approaching individual. A half man, half giant shuliled along the beach. His limbs were bare except for the skin of some animal wrapped about his body. Long ape-like arms reached from shoulder to knee. and. even while yet afar, the knarled and knotted muscles that spoke of untold strength could plainly be seen. His broad shoulders carried a head that seemed ridiculously small for such a large body. and as he shuffled along, he struck here and there with the huge club he held in his hand. Suddenly he became aware of their presence, and turned to meet them. He stopped a few paces away and silently regarded them. Each studied in this monster the characteristics that would best beget his end. Ambition became aware of the small features. the narrow brow, huge mouth, yellow tusks. and the short black hair that barely reached to his eyes. Lust noticed the huge limbs. the large ears. and last of all the idiotic expression of the small eyes. Their conversation would have but little meaning to us. but safe it is to say that only too often have they agreed to help each other as far as possible in their work. In order to appreciate the heineousness of this giant., it may be well to go back to his origin in history. His first appearance. so far 18 as we have any definite knowledge through history, was at Troy. and during the battle he received an increased passion for the taking of life and limb in mortal combat. His influence was so great that thousands of Greeks and Trojans fell 11pon each other for no other purpose than to take the life with which God had blessed them. Not satisfied with this inode of warfare. he induced mortals to b11rn villages and massacre innocent men, women, and children. But this could not continually obtai11. for as soon as Man came to his senses he saw with horror the result of entertaining and harboring such an individual. However. it was too late to bring back the lives that had been sacrificed. Zlillll Man. expelling him i11 disgrace from his presence. saw him depart to new fields ljllt bearing a smile of satisfaction at the work he had accomplished. ' Despite the etliorts and 11nt.iring zeal of Education and Religion. the two great contributors to Wtl1'7S mighty competitor. Civilization, he yet iinds opportunities to exercise his race-destroying energies. Down through the path of ages. this Giant has wandered leaving death a11d dest1'uctio11 behind him. Close by. Humanity has followed. stop- ping here and there to heal the wounds of Man. Century after century have Civilization. Education and Religion continued the struggle. hoping against hope that they would at last meet the enemies of Man. But the sons of Man were not all loyal to one another. and traitors to themselves. have aided the enemies of of their Father to escape. Almost from the iirst struggle that took place until that of to-day which is waging 11po11 the broad plains of NVestern Europe. Ambition and Religion, Education and Lust received mortal wounds at almost the very beginning of the battle. and so crippled their power that it has become a struggle between the remain- ing two. Civilization and VVar. Let me picture one of the struggles to you. For a moment the giant and youth survey each other. then leap into action. Round and round they sway. the mighty blows they strike shaking the colossal columns of the earth. For a time. they tight evenly. then Civilization receives a blow that sends him to his knees. The lll1.l001lS giant, quick to take advantage. casts his spear at the swaying figure. It misses and its burning tip sets tire to the homes of Man. Wliole villages, and towns are leveled before its force 19 is spent. The gleaming blade of the youth whirls forever in a brilliant are of flame. But as one stroke goes wide, thousands of humanity fall dead beneath its blade. The waters of the ocean foam. Gales arise from their breathing, and here again Man is the loser his giant ships of war with their huinan protectors are swept to destruction. As the sun sinks behind the horizon, it casts its rays upon the still struggling gladiators, and so we will leave theni ill their duel. How long this struggle shall last in years will be difficult to tell. For years, even for centuries, less momentous ones than the present have continued. At tinies we see it weaken, with the youth holding decided advantage, but tattered and torn by ages of reverse, he has still courageously and undauntedly kept up t.he coinbat upon which outcome the existence of Man depends. Let us pass from the present scene of strife for a. few moments, and let me picture to you a. ditferent scene in the future. Far to the west, that beacon of courage and life is slowly sinking out of sight beyond the hills. and, it receeds from view, it casts its soft rays upon the broad hillsides and valleys. Standing erect with his helmet clasps unlocked. is our chainpion. Lying upon the ground are the enemies of Civilization. A few feet away the last and most terrible of the three is trying to rise. The Youth sword blade cleaves the air and descends in a glittering circle of tire leaving dead upon the ground the one who was conqueror of the world for centuries, now conquered himself. The centuries come and go. Generation after generation passes away from the looin of life to make way for the new. The sun still rises and sets. casting its warni and protecting rays upon its sister earth. ln a beautiful valley dinily seen in the purple haze of sunset there rears a tall and majestic colunin of inarble. Cut in its sides. and filled with letters of gold are the peace words of all nations: HIIERE LIES THE BODY UF THE GIANT OF VVAH, SliAlN BY THE HAND OF CIVILIZATION. 20 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1915 MARGARET MARY CROWLEY The day is cold and dark and dreary, It rains and the wind is never weary, The vine still clings to the inouldering wall And at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. eg-n-U' Win, N such a day as this. September 6, 1911, two hundred and ninety two little, round, roly-poly. raindrops, Scatipa-d in all sections of Wo1'eester County, were blown by the blustering winds to the very door of that great institu- tion of lea,rning, the ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL. They united and formed the illustrious class of 1915, and then and there, did Father Time begin inseribing their history. Ah! such preparations as were made for that glorious day! Although the little freslnnan girl had not yet learned the art of 21 frilling and puffing her hair. she did know enough to make it look very neat. by drawing it back into two braids and tying it with ribbons of every imaginable color. I will not even attempt to describe the manly youths at this period. I will leave it entirely to your vivid im- agination. It is sulificient to say. that the moment we girls laid our eyes on them. we felt a fluttering round our hearts. and for some unaccountable reason immediately acknowledged them as our ideals. Our finery and spirits were somewhat dampened by the weather be- fore we arrived at school. but upon reaching there they were quenched. by the unruly Sophomores. 'It was during this eventful period of our lives. that we learned. that even one insignificant. little freshman could not walk out of school unnoticedg also. that there were no elevators in the building and that we were really expected to arrive in our classes on time, an art. which, unfortunately. we have never been able to master. It was evident from the very first day that we were a progressive and an original class. The sophomores quite agreed with us and supplied overwhelmingly details. However. when somebody was struck on the nose with a spitball. and somebody else found nothing under- neath him where a second before there had been a chair. and others received similar tokens that trouble had arrived. they believed that sure enough the gentle cherubs had earned their title of FRESHmen. Then. one morning we went to the hall, to elect class officers. and were very fortunate in choosing such worthy officers as Oscar Harvey, presidentg Hazel VVoodwa.rd. vice-presidentg Burton Marsh, in whose Cl1iil.1'2i,Clf91' we had implicit confidence was chosen treasurer. and Marion Jackson was selected to keep our wond1'ous records. Again we showed our originality in the selection of our pins, as no other class has ever had anything similar to ours. A big surprise was in store for us one day. after we had been at school about tive weeks. when father niet us at the door with a small white card in one hand and. sad to say.-something in the other. This was our initiation to HD warnings. Then we found that if we didn't carry home our little t'Hawkes-Luby and Triton and Gayley Classic Myths' each and every night, our position. as a class was about as stable as that of the president of Mexico. For a time, nothing particular seemed to interest ns. but one day 22 a muzinnn' about Class Games circulated about the school. Vlfe did not have the slightest idea what Class Games were. but a senior condescended to enlighten us as to the why's and wherefore's of the aforesaid games. The next morning purple streamers floated on the breeze. purple ties and purple hair ribbons we1'e in abundance. and for the lirst time we heard class yells. Needless to say. the sophomores vainly endeavored to silence us, and were promptly reminded. that their colors. which were green. matched their complexion. lfVhat about the score. you ask? VVell. the less said the better. The 'following September. after safely sailing through a storm of Freshman troubles. we were Sophomores! By now. we had gradually become accustomed to that great divide. namely. the marks we thought we ought to have and those we received. VVe thought it was our duty to show our superiority and to strut about t.he school as if we owned it. Several of us began t.o cultivate pompadours and Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like our boys. with their many hued stockings and neckties. At this time. many of the girls joined the Britomart and the boys the Assembly. and proved themselves invaluable to those two re- nowned literary societies. Sadie Feiga, began rivaling the senior girls by playing the aceompaniments for Mr. Rice. Also. it was just now. that our prowess was being recognized on the ball field. the track. in football and in rowing. The officers had performed their laborious duties so well. that we elected them for a second term. Now we delved into the mystic realms of Geometry! lt would cause me great pain to recall to your minds. how fruitless were our attempts to convince the teachers of our originality. After one year of this momentous subject. Ellen Kelly could prove in exactly five dit'Ferent ways. that pencils a.nd erasers were made to be borrowed and never returned. To be sure. there was but one problem that we all agreed upon. that is. that the food at the lunch counter was variable, constantly approaching the limit . The most famous thing the near-senior', ean do is talk. We had several, notable examples in our class. You may not believe it, but passing by room 2. at any time. you would hea.r this sad refrain. There will be a reception held in this room at 1.30 P. M. today. Miss 93 VL- . it f M--M- . . A .ill-i .Q 5 ' PRESIDENTS OF THE ASSEMBLY Dunks and Miss Davis are cordially invited to attend. Or, Has the record run down yet. Miss Hill? The class games once more. NVe had shown so much enthusiasm at the Oval. our first year. that that venerable place has never been able to be used again for the purpose of games. Accordingly, this year we went to the fair grounds. There was the usual display of purple on the Hag poles. f9lGQ'1'R1ll1 poles and street cars. in fact everywhere but on the City Hall. because the officers of the law en- forced the stern orders to keep us away from that esteemed edifice VVhen the faculty took the annual inventory the next September. the jolly juniors had decreased in number. After each person had tired his neighbor with his travels and experiences of the sunnner. we settled down to our studies. One of the first things that attracted our attention was the elec- tion of class officers. Hazel VVoodward had left the city. so we chose 24 Agnes Sanford as our vice-president, but were so well pleased with the efficiency of the others. that we elected them again. W. J. Barr and A. B. Giroux. two of our best known Assembly debaters, became members of the Amherst debating team and strove valiantly to bring the trophy to us. James McGuinnes was chosen manager of the victorious E. H. S. crew. composed of nearly all '15 men. Really many never guessed what histrionic ability there was in our class. One morning we went to the hall and were given a fine portrayal. of the court sce11e in the '4Merchaut of Venice . As long as we live, we shall never forget Shylock.-and his pie knife. or when Bassanio, amid the laughter of the class, meekly admitted. that he, too, had a wife. Many never worried about their lessons. never burned any midnight oil, until their services were required in the proper rendering of the College Hero. As it was advertised that all the beauties in Worcester were to take part, perhaps this accounts for the large choruses of junior boys and girls. and-for the increase of UD warnings. 'tOf all the sad words of tongue or pen, These are the saddest, TAKE IT OVER AGAIN! Also. a few of the juniors were participants in the iirst annual. concert of the Asembly-Britomart societies. which the local papers say. was a. 'ihowling success. ln the few rhetorical exercises we had in the hall, Ralph Brierly. our prophet. gave the school some very good declamations. We decided to have a banquet. Accordingly. a committee was appointed who chose Putnam and Thurston's as the most fitting and proper place. The toasts were superior to those of the Seniors so one of our fondest hopes was realized. Every boy and girl was so bedeclced with purple the day of the class games. that one of the room teachers mildly asked, if there was another bit of purple left i11 the city. VVe went down. to tl1e tair grounds loudly proclaiming our intentions to beat the seniors in the games,-but most of us came home by the way of Paxton or Shrews- bury. The next day. we recovered sufficiently to hang some purple in room 20. 25 PRESIDENTS OF THE BRITOMART Wll2l,t was this that met our astonished gaze one morning? We pinched ourselves to be sure that we were awake, rubbed our eyes in vain, for there before us in large print in the paper was, HE11g!llSll High School to be clianged into ai Commercial High School. Pupils will resume their studies this September in the old Ulzxssical High School which shall be known as the HIGH SCHOOL OF COM- MERCE. You've seen zm big cloud come up in the summer time, growling and lfll1'GEltGI1lllQf the earth with dire mlisaster only to pass 26 away with a puff of wind. NVell. this was what we thought would happen. to the proposed change. But no, all the protests were in vain. The school connnittee firmly ordered us to change. Even if the nanie of English High School has disappeared, the memory of it will never be erased from our hearts. But now, alas! the place seems changed, Thou art no longer here, Part of the sunshine of the scene lVitl1 thee did diszippear. This rneinory ll1'iglliZCl1H o'el' the past, As when the sun, concealed Behind some cloud that near ns hangs, Shines on a distant field. The first day of school our fourth and last year, the rainbow of the high school days. the seniors could not be distinguished from the freshmen. VVQ were among the niost verdant of the verdant. VVe had to be initiated into the various roonis and corridors the same as the other pupils of the other classes. A new gymna.siuni awaited us, a new hall, and several spacious class rooms. Our nunibers were in- creased. by the advent of a number of North High School pupils and pupils from other schools. Another h-Jur was added to the schedule and it was feared for some time that the school. would open at 8.00 o'clock instead of 8.30 formerly. Imagine what consternation Lhis proposed calamity produced among those who arrived at 8.29.9 daily. Mildred Clifford was among those who strongly opposed this action, but her reasons are very obvious. The extra hour had pro- vided another study hour for the seniors much to the despair-of their room teachers. Now a new school. spirit was aroused among the students. To start the season. the football teain won the championship under Captain Raymond llivoil. Nearly everyone, if not all, were nienihers of the '15 class. In regard to this. we say. Little knots of muscle, Little grains of sand Make the mighty gridiron And the heroes grand. 27 Again, we won under the name of the High School of Commerce all the indoor track meets. This success was largely due to '15 boys. We sincerely hope that the debating team, composed of Arthur B. Giroux, Williani J. Barr. and Louis Schultz will meet with the same success. This time we chose Benjamin Jaques as our president. Agnes Sanford, vice-president, Burton Marsh, treasurer. and Bernice Jack- son. secretary. Now it was time to have our pictures 'ttook . Passing through the hall one day. I overheard this conversation: O, do you want to see my proofs?'7 Pause. Say, how long has Bushong been making cartoons? The committee chose the State Mutual for our banquet this year and needless to say. the banquet was a decided success. The seniors also had the nianagement of the annual Britomart-Assembly Recep- tion which was one of the best ever. The class games are still to come. and we hope with the usual results for the seniors. Although it was feared at first that we would never becouu, accustomed to the change in schools, we now show our loyalty to the new High School of Commerce. and are glad to be the lirst class to graduate from VVright Hall. but still maintain the honor of being the last class to graduate under the nanu- of English High School. In the far distance, we can almost see the goa.l for which we are striving. We are nearing the close of our high school lite. As we go let us beware of losing our enthusiasm. Let us glory in some thing and strive to retain our admiration for all that would cnuoble. and our interest in all that would enrich and beautify our life. For Yesterday is but a Dream and Tomorrow is only a Vision. but Today well lived makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness and every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. HVIRTUE CONQUERS ALL. 28 THE CLASS PRCPHECY RALPH CADY BRIERLY T was only the other evening when I sat down to write a prophecy for the class. I had been thinking hard, and the half written page before me appeared to be floating in A the air. HI wish I might write a good prophecy, I said to myself, and, as I was thinking this over, things seemed to become greatly confused, and instead of the familiar room, the walls seemed to fade to mistg there was a sen- sa.tion of being rapidly carried thru space. I seemed to be asleep and I could feel myself being shaken. I awoke and looked around me with the greatest awe. It was evening and the room was lit with strange looking lights which shed a soft radiance on the floor. It was a. large room and the walls were covered with many books. I looked at the person who was shaking me and was startled to see that it was Carl Harris. He was attired in full dress with a queer looking ruffled silk shirt that held my attention. 'LYon have been asleep over two hours, old chapf' he said in the old familiar voice, 4 but there was an odd look about him. lt is time to dress for the theatre, he ' ' f All added.. - v I ' W E N W MMM'm'4 Witlloiit seeming to do so.

Johnf' said I, what is the datei Why, today is June the eighteenth. 1935 he answered 277 promptly. 'iOh. yes, I returned in deep perplexity. Just then Carl entered.

'LI think I'd better send for the doctor. John! exclaimed lflarl. 'tIlr. Giroux 's olitiee is just around the corner. HThink of it, he added. when you could buy ten like this and not mind it. I was saved a remark by John reentering. The car is ready. Sirsf' he said. XVe walked out under a beautiful porte-cochere and imagine my surprise when I saw a large aeroplane drawn up before us. The pilot was none other than Fred Urowe. Crowe according to the precedent of his name. had gone into the flying business. and was now pilot of my airship. The motor started with a hum and in a few moments we were high above the house. I saw a, myriad of lights in the distance which were those of the city of WO1'CGStG1'. 'We were now flying over Asnebumskit, which I could remember climbing with Mr. Perry geology classg but it was now covered with houses. I now deduced that my house was in Paxton. Just then we struck a level surface. rolled along. and stopped. It was a hangar on the roof of a large building. VVe quickly dismounted when a gentleman and two ladies got out of another machine. I saw that it was Phil Knowles with Christine Stoddard and Alice Hamel. This was about the first familiar sight I had seen. so I bowed. but to my stupefaction. they walked by me. Muttl exclaimed Carl. 'Of course they ll not speak when you've just made 2520.000 out of him by selling short. This made me afraid to speak to anyone. altho we saw Beatrice Shulinski. Bertha Shack. Sadie Greenberg a11d Fanny Morrill coming our way.

As we X - JMB, entered a balcony box. Burton Marsh and Agnes Sanford rose to greet us. Agnes was a successful playwright now. while Burton was manager of the coni- pany producing her plays. Looking around the theatre. Carl pointed out to me Laurence Bean and l1is wife who where nodding to ns. Laurie was now Chief Civil Engineer of the State. Burton Marsh ealled our attention to Mildred Clifford and Chester Allison, who were near at hand. and were looking at us thru opera glasses. Mildred was a poet. now, and Chester had X written the music for her poems. Marsh had put some of these lyrics into the play. and they were here to witness the event. The curtain rose showing Margaret Crowley as a maiden 'lpn among tiger-lillies. The lillies were chorus-girls splendidly attired, and among these I. recognized Prieilla Hill. Grace Hogle. Helen McCann, Marion Vllyman, Helen Adams. Edith x ' Altield. Mildred Allison, Stella llondero and Anna Rich- niond. X The leading man was Henry Hayes in the 1'ole of Algernon.

And Margaret answered: Across the sky of azure blue,- The Cotton clouds are sailing, Vx'hile Morse-y is the upper Barr Upon the wayside railing. The chorus shook their spotted petals: HTIIO Snow he deep upon the Knowles- Or Miller 's grind their corn, Between the Massie oak trees Tho sun shines bright :Lt morn, And the curtain fell. HMiss t'littord's poem is some lyric. said Carl while we were applauding. The closing scene was amid the ice-Bergs of the north and added great credit to the scenic artist. Harold Berg. Between the acts Rose Aronsky read the poem which she and Edythe Davis had composed while they were improving their Spanish by studying in San Salvador. l only remember the prelude which I thought was extremely fine: E'er from the depths of deepest space, The stars shine from the blue- And sunnnits white, so far away Fado slowly from my view v I see again that palace great- Vlose to that mountain crest, Near which the sun had gone lVhen it did sink to rest.

The air-ship had just gotten successfully under way. when we were overhauled by Anna Levensohn in the guise of an air patrol. We were A 32 quickly towed toward Station One. Wl1ili+ we were on the way, I asked why all The police were women, and received the inforination that since the women had received the vote all the guardians of The peaee were women. We drew up ou a nearby building' and l.ll:'SCt-'l1llUil to the ground. The same old station in the same old place! VVe were quickly brought before Judge Abbie Dunks. On either 4 side of her stood two stalwart guardians of the peace-tlie L 3 ' '1'l illltlC Marv Marloevi and the diminutive form of hI21,1'0'i'l.1'Gt K' 23 n CW Scott. The Tale was Luieklv told.

The next 1l101'l1ll1g I rose at nine and, after brea aeroplanes, theat- kfasting. I walked into our office. Carl. was walking back and forth dictating letters to the 'four stenographers: Jennie Kelleher, Cecilia Mulcahy, Evelyn Basinet and Mabel Nelson. The racket of the stenograph, typewriters and the wireless. by which we were receiving the stock quotations, filled the 1'001ll. The wireless operator. Harold Nute. and the book- keeper. Gustaf Arvidson. were hard at work at their desks. After an exceedingly busy day we had dinner at seven, with Dr. Giroux, Archibald Mitchell, the dentist, and Percy Hill., the discoverer, as guests. Percy had just discovered that if a persons blood was drawn oft and radiurn bromide supplied instead. and the person placed i11 cold storage, he could be kept for several years. He had tried this treatment on Frank Plunkett and John Bassett years previous. and had last month brought them to life again. By the same method Nicholas O'Connor, Ernest Thompson, and Frederic Rice had been put to sleep in order that they might be awakened in the year 2.000 and tell of their experiences in 1935. At. seven thirty we took the subway train, driver 35 fx ,Z If .3 , f . 5 1 1 , fi i t m . Wahl .

At the reception the Mayor, who was none other than James Mefluinness and seven aldermen. Louis Shultz. Theron Burnett, Clarence Allen. J. NVillian1 Dennis, Frederick Flynn, and Charles Russell., were receiving. while the orchestra. under the direction of Ben Jaques. and including Charlotte Robinovitz. Gladys Jaques. Marion Paddock, Ruth Erickson. and others played the 'tVValtz of the Future and The Diekham Slide. These had been brought out by the great dancing exponents Grace lliekhaut and Helen Hamill. Osear Harvey and Robert Peterson, the great engineers. were there. They had just completed the tunnels made under Bering Straits and the English Channel, by which one could go from New York to London without a change. After dancing with Vivian Cummings, who was now real estate agent for lake-side honiesitesg Mary Fusaro. who had made a fortune in olive oilg Helen Griffin. tl1e produce dealerg and Sara Cotton. the woolen luanufaeturer. 1 took Olive Towne down to dinner. Opposite sat Edwin Thomson, who was now chief on the eartoonist statf of Life. He said that Medrie Anger and Anna Paulson were play- ing in the Hllerehant of Venice . while Dorothy Ranisdell and 'Dorothy Rogers were staging a. vaudeville sketch entitled the Two D. Rfs. Edwin also told me that niost of the XVOl11Gll7S gowns were inade by Edith Peterson and Annie Tallman, the creators of many soeiety dreams. I asked l1in1 why all the women wore their hair in short curls. He replied that this was inaugurated by Anna Putnam. the actress. during the last season. The great society barber. it seemed. was none other than Etta Shack. ' 'tHave you heard of Vera Arnberg, the physicial director at the New Connnereial High? asked Edwin, nor of the five teachers: Ida Malkasian, Luella Elagg, Marguerite Hurley, Kathleen Murphy and Annie Robertson '? 'tThey are teaching by moving pietures, which is the latest inethod of studying Zoology and botany. Helen Vlloolson has invented an 36 .attachment for the movie machines which. when roses or any flowers are shown, pervades with perfume the room-thus enabling the pupils to identify the flowers by their smell. Ruth Kennedy and VVillard Gordon have written a history entitled Greek and English I-Iistoryw -with an introduction by Miss Vtfhipple. Frances Barrett has her handsome likeness on thousands of magazine covers. and these master- pieces are due to the genius of the great cubist artist, Blanche Wz1ll. iiwllilt fate has overtaken Farrell? I asked. Poor Robert. George Busby invented a machine by which one might travel. in theory. to another planet. Bob went. but something broke and he now travels in a orbit around the earth. He is a blessing to lovers, for he occasionally eclipses the moon! Busby is going to bring him back soon. by a new invention. Poor boy! This so overcame Edwin that he remained silent for a moment. XVhile we were talking. I noticed Deborah Russell. the Gazette reporter. describing the gorgeous gown of Ethel Morse. t'That costume Knox anything I've seen out of sight! remarked Edwin.. Just then shots were sounded outside. 'tThere is a. riot ll' shouted someone. There was a wild rush for the roof. Stanley Maynard and Leah Thurman managed to get an aeroplane and soared high above the city. The air seemed filled with tiying craft. Raymond Divoll assisted Louise Tracy into a craft beside me. As he did so. the machine brushed me from the roof. and in a second I found myself clinging to the rudder of a ship a thousand feet above the street. Just then one of the anarchists' machines came close to us. The drone of the motors filled the air. They tired at us and the jar loosened my grip. Falling the rush of air tilled my ears. .I had just time to murmur. All right so farli' when I struck with a crash. I bounded several feet and seemed to be suspended. I awoke. My head had made a respectable dent in the table. Up the street Bernard Brooks was playing his violin-this was the hum of the motors. while the shots were the low notes of Ben Jaques' clarinet. 37 R.

The attendance the first part of the yeariwas the best that the club has ever had. This was no doubt due to the hard work of the Seniors coupled with the fact that the meetings were held at night. The club is greatly indebted to Mr. Andrews' assistance in times of stress. Its thanks are also due to Messrs. Greenwood, Fletcher, and Oakes for their supervision at its meetings. 'During the last two terms of the year. lack of interest. caused by the withdrawal of the Amherst Cup, caused a steady decline in the strength of the club.

One of our Junior year recollections will be the play Open Secret in which Margaret Crowley, our future president. took part. Many of the girls of our Class who had performed duties from baiiner bearer down to cluster. now considered themselves capable to hold higher oitiees their Senior year. This was the beginning of a successful year. One of our good times was the combined Hallowe'en and Costume .Party held in the High School Gymnasium to which we invited the Assembly boys. .

WO1'Cf3SlCl'. especially its High Schools, has always had an envious record in athletic annals. Track, one of the oldest of High School sports. has been one of the most popular. But above all and very dear to our hearts is our own school track team. Though in our under- graduate years. we did not rally to the support it merited, yet this cleanest of all sports has been brought to a foremost position of late by the Track athletes representing the High School of Commerce. Like the rest of the teams, track has suffered from the lack of funds lllllill recently when the School Committee became more lenient, and the students more generous. The success in the indoor interscholastic meets proved con- clusively that we were not laggarcls for we had the great delight of defeating our old rivals, Classical and South. The Spring out-door meets had not taken place when this Went to press. But the good showing of late predicts success. The prospects for a strong team could not be brighter, as there is as wealth of material. That our athletes may have as good success on the Track of Life as they have had in school, is our parting wish. 99 GYMNASIUM-H1GH SCHOOL QF COMMERCE MISS FLORENCE BENNETT Pllysic-ul Director for Girls.

The elass of 1915 was represented on the squad by: Cameron, Dennis, Collins, Mefluinness, Flynn, Plunkett. O'Connor, and Divoll. There was brought to light a new pitcher, Bill Cameron, whose line pitching' and stick work was a great help to the team. Another sturdy pitcher was Paul Collins. The baekstop for these pitchers was Flynn, who is a crack catcher and whose throw to second has put out many a player. Frank Plunkett was the heavy hitter of the team and his hits counted for many runs. Nick 0'Connor. though never a regular player has tried for the team for four years and deserves much credit for his work. It is seen that the class of 1.915 was not backward in furnishing crack players for the team.

Tl1e evening eaine. From one side poured in young ladies Htogged out in all hues of the rainbow, and from the other, the more som- brely clad young gentlemen.. They joined in the center among the little groups of chairs so eozily arranged. and everyone set about en- joying himself. First came a long period of waiting while a small party of young eavaliers presented the young ladies to the reeeiving line. In the midst of this was a Hunt hunt . Many of us were entirely unable to find more than one nut in the whole hall. After this several games were played, and many a fortunate person went away with a prize eon- sisting of a little dog with a spiral tail or some other delightful play- thing. Mrs Jarley, a very solemn and sedate old lady. presented her wonderful collection of waxworks. and Miss Plunkett, the Goddess of Liberty, whose temples measured some ten feet in breadth, earried off the prize. Next in turn appeared the grand march, during which we moved in and out in a seemingly impossible tangle, but finally found ourselves safe again. Then the refreshments were served mueh to the delight of everybody. At the fearful gong, which sounded like that last trump and which made many of us wonder if the dream was gone and sehool days had come again, the kaleidoseopie gathering broke up. The gaily dressed young ladies extrieated themselves from among the soberly elad young gentlemen, and the fun was over. 112 THE JUNIOR BANQUET.

The privilege of writing these yvords of farewell in behalf of the graduating class brings to me at once a feeling of joy and sorrow. It is pleasant to realize that we have reached the goal for which we have Worked so long. yet it is with reluctance that we say goodbye to our high school life. We a.re to leave those companions with whom we have associated during our years in high school. but we are eonsoled by the thought that yve are but to separate into wider tields of activity. to broader lives of service and usefulness. In preparation for tl1e eoming years we have had the help of those about us not only through their instruction hut through their example. To them our thanks are due at this time. Members of the faculty: It is to you especially that our thanks must he given and our appreciation expressed at this important period of our lives, NVe are to leave your instruction Zllltl your careg yet yve cannot forget the kindness you have shown us, the deep interest you have taken in our welfare and iinally the earnestness with yvhich you have worked with us for our betterment. May the trials of patience that we have caused you in the dull course of every day life he forgotten as yve hid you a fond farewell. Undergraduatesz To you also a feyv words of parting are due. Wie feel that we are hound to you through the ties of friendship, that students of the same school and under the leadership of the same instructors mrst feel. ln seeking an education you have followed in our footsteps and we take an interest in your welfare. To you we bequeath the school. Then let us, the class of 1915, bid you farewell. with the hope that, in due course. you may he numbered among those who enjoy the privileges of graduating from the High School of Commerce. of W01'C6Sfl1l'. Classmates: The time that we have longed for and dreaded has eome. We have reached the goal. but. alas, our school days are over. The freest and pleasantest years of our lives have slipped from our grasp. No longer as a class. hut as individuals we are to take our places in the world and assume our part of the world activity. 124 Now bid farewell! All ye who stay! To friends of nineteen fifteen This dear old class has had her day. liach one now goes his own sweet way. And soon niust be forgotten. Hut e'er we break the bonds in twain O Rcquiescat in Pace MCMXV Amen l MISS JACKSON. The class of 1915 is deeply indebted to Miss Alice M. Jackson for her hearty co-operation in all of our undertakings. She has ever been a helper and a friend. Would you know what college to attend? Con- sult Miss Jackson. 'Do you lessons trouble you Miss Jackson will help you. Do you wish to arrange for a social? See Miss Jackson. Have you forgotten your excuse? Miss Jackson will see you! In dedi- cating this Aftermath to this kind friend we feel that we have done but little to repay her for her inany kindnesses. E. H. S. and H. S. of C. Vlflu-n the radical and revolutionizing change in schools was inade- the pupils were obliged to go where fate led thein. The new school was to be called the High School of C'ounnerce. All went well until a few nionths before graduation. Vllhen those matters vital to class life were to be decided a division in the class resulted. Especially was the division felt in the selection of the title on this cover. A great majority of the class of 1915 are old pupils of the English High School. Ou the other hand. we have in our ranks a number of transfers from North. South. and Classical. These transfers did not have at. heart the old ineinories of the E. H. S. And so when, in class meeting. a :notion was made to have E. H. on the cover these pupils objected and did so justly. After many stormy sessions it was finally decided to have both the E. H. S. and H. S. of C. on the cover. In this nlanner we hope everyone has been satisfied. 125 THE COST OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION. The class of 1915 is in the market. iWho will buy? 1Vhat is the highest bid? 1Vhat is it worth? These are pertinent questions. The value of a commodity is somewhat determined by its eost. Xvlltlf did the class of 1915 cost? A little calculation will help us to answer this last question. The average cost per pupil per year in the High School of Com- merce is approximately rl4S5.00. lt therefore costs the city. if interest eharges are included, about rl4360.00 to change a frisky Freshman to a serious Senior. While the city is caring for the mental growth of its Y01llug'.Cllt11'gGS. their physical welfare is inthe hands of their parents. 25150.00 per year. or bl-2600.00 for four years is probably a low estimate of the eost of clothing. food. shelter. doctor's Care. and amnsements for the average high school boy or girl. This 14600.00 added to the 16360.00 and multiplied by 1-10. the number in the Senior class gives 34131.-100. a very eonsiderable sum. even in this day of high finance and swollen fortunes. To this amount should be added the pupil's share of the cost of police and tire pro- tection. care of streets, maintenance of the public health departments. ete. lt is readily seen that the class of 1915 is deeply in debt to the community for its support and education during the non-productive period. That the class will pay this debt. perhaps many times over, no one doubts in the least. Let us hope that the members of the class will show their appre- ciation and express their gratitude to the community by becoming sober, industrious. honest. and upright citizens, endeavoring at all times to magnify the happiness a11d wellbeing of their neighbors and fellow citizens. ' NOTE OF THANKS. As president of the Class of 1915, I wish to extend the heartiest thanks of the class to the members of the Aftermath Committee who have worked so faithfully in editing this book, which in the future will be a source of enjoyment and pleasant memories.

Such as interests the elass of 1915 of this school is herewith published. The answers given to the questions propounded by the census taker of the Aftermath Board are, of course. personal and must never be revealed. The totals however are given that future classes and 0'enerations mav know hou' cultured. great and D 1 C' noble was the class of 1915. ' What Is Your Age? Owing to the preponderance of the feminine element in the class. the answers given to this question are, perforee, unreliable and the averages therefore of no economic value. In general, it may be stated that the girls are all sweet sixteen tllltl nobody cares hou' old the boys are. What Is Your Height? The boys are a pretty tall set, averaging 5 feet 10 inches, while the girls average 5 feet -115 inches. Together the average is about 5 feet 7.8 inches. The tallest is 6 feet 3 inches and tive others are 6 feet or over. One girl. also. is 6 feet making a total of seven 6 footers. The shortest boy is 5 feet 1 inch and the shortest. girl. -1 feet 1015 inches. - What Is Your Weight? The average weight of the boys is 139.81 pounds, and that of the girls. 118.38 pounds. The entire average. with the exception of one member, is 127.182 poundsg with the addition of that member, whose name is withheld by special request, the average is boosted to 128.019 pounds. And if you don't think that is some boost just do a little figuring for yourself using, say, 104 and 105 persons to base the above averages on. The heaviest girl weighs 165 pounds and the lightest. 87. One boy weighs H115 Ca la nudejf' and another H135. stripped for Gyinf' 130 What Color Are Your Eyes? The majority have blue eyes and about half as many have brown. Two admit different colored eyes, 'ibrown and blue. and brown and green, while one couple have Hhazel blue, eyes, whatever color that is. One poor fellow has sleepy eyesg how hard he must study. One girl states that her's are blue and adds in parentheses ehangeableg another's are faded blue, and still another's. blue with a tint of greenfi What Is The Color Of Your Hair? Brown, and its various shades from nut to golden, is by far the most predominant color of both boys' and girls' hair, while the blondes and black-haired are far behind. One boyls is 'fred-sometimes,'l and another's Hblaek as black is black. Among the girls o11e is a demi- blondef' and another 'tsupposed to be blonde. What Size Shoe Do You Wear? The average size shoe of the class is not quite SM. This will probably delight the boys and disgust the girls as the average size of the former is Tift, while that of the latter only 351. The largest size among the boys is 1015 and the smallest 5. The largest admitted among the girls is 5, while the baby wears size 115. One boy states that his are number 8 C3rd time aroundj, while one of the girl's are 'Lsize 2 usual.ly.'l One characteristic daughter of Eve wrote, I'll never tell. What Is Your Political Party? The majority. including the girls, are Republicans. a few are Democrats, one is a Socialist. Cguess whol, and one an Independent. There is also one Bull Mooser and one Anarchist in the class. The majority of the girls are sutfragettes although quite a number are antis. One is a Usuffragette Cmost rank kindj 5 another.

Harold Lockwood. and Charlie Chaplin are well ahead of all others in the order given. while Mary Piekford and Marguerite Clark are the first two choices among the actresses. One girl wrote I ain-Cnaturallylf' VVe give you three guesses as to who she is. and if you guess right kindly let us know her name. Who Is Your Favorite Author? Shakespeareis the .favorite with f'haueer seeond ehoice. while Dickens. Scott. and Tennyson are tied for third. Vklhat a beneficial effect our English course has had on us! However, one fellow prefers Bud Fisher and another A. Conan Doyle. while one girl wrote. Gouverneur Morris is some authorg' so it isn't as had as it might be. Thirty different authors were voted for in all. Who Is Your Favorite Poet? Tennyson comes first with Longfellow a close second. It now gives us extreme pleasure to announce that one Wiii. Barr obtained third place, preceding the immortal Shakespeare by one vote. -l. F. O'Connor was also mentioned. On the whole the class is quite poet- ically inclined as sixteen poets. or near poets. were down on the list. Who Is Your Favorite Musician? R. Chatfin made a hard run for this honor. but was finally de- feated by two votes by the famous Paderewski. The spelling of the latter name varied all the way from Pateruiski to ':Padaruski . Chopin, Beethoven, and Kreisler are next choice. while about iifteen other celebrities bring up the rear. including three more High School musicians. What Is Your Favorite Fruit? The favorite fruit of the class is peaches C????'??D. but strange to say, more than three times as many girls as boys voted for themg so do not be misled. dear reader. Oranges received the next largest number of votes. with apples and lemons third. 'tHen fruit received 132 six votes and the rest were scattered over several varieties. Honorable mention is accorded to the following with one vote apiece:--Pickles. Onions. Garlic. Beans. Prnnes. and Chickens. Who Are The Most Popular Harris. Giroux. and McGninnes among the boys. and Miss Crowley, Miss McC'ann. Miss Bernice Jackson and Miss Hamel. among the girls are the favorites with the few who dared to vote. About one-third the class either could not or would not make up their minds. or perhaps modesty prevented them. One girl wrote t'Not any . then. changing her mind. crossed it out and put down HIS name, Who Is The Most Handsome Boy? Edwin Thomson is the class beauty and is followed by nine other would-be Adonises whose names we obligingly omit. A large number of girls refused to vote at all. while others replied. l'There isn't any , UNO boy in this class . and 4'There ain't any good-looking ones . About half a dozen voted for All the boys . however. Who Is The Most Handsome Girl? Miss Alice Hamel and Miss Crowley are the premiere beauties a1no11g the girls. and are closely followed by Miss Bernice Jackson. Miss Sanford. Miss McCann. and Miss Putnam. A number of boys also refused to commit themselves. while one has no preference . and another thinks that they are all the same . Who Are The Best Students? Among the girls Miss Dunks received an overwhelming majority, while only two others Miss Bernice Jackson and Miss Sanford received more than one vote. The latter was obtained by only three others. only six girls were voted for in all. Among the boys. however. there were fifteen candidates, and eight, Hill. Giroux, Johnson, Marsh, Durkee. Berg. Brierly. and Barr. were closely hunched for the lead. Quite a number. both boys and girls refused to vote. however. 133 ' ' 'T P RECITATUS ECONOMICUS A Farce In One Act.
