MR. ALVAH G. HAYES
Address To The Seniors
One of the strangest of ideas is that a man's education is confined to the years he
spends in school. In reality Knowledge comes streaming into us every conscious moment
of our lives—through eye and ear, through taste and touch, through accident and dis-
appointment, through success and failure. This is the knowledge and education which we
accumulate through experience and education which began when we first saw the light of day.
Education is a continuous process. After the last examination has been passed and
the diploma is triumphantly exhibited then comes the school of life, in which every
graduate should plan for his own continuous education. Throughout life a man's "job"
becomes his school. In this school advancement will depend largely upon superior ac-
complishment which in turn is based upon superior knowledge.
Many of you will be compelled by force of circumstances to accept inevitable
boundaries, but one of the real pleasures of life lies in demonstrating that you can do
fine work in spite of these limitations. You may be compelled to live on "Main Street,"
but you are not compelled to have a commonplace and sordid spirit because of it.
"Stone walls Flo not a prison make
Nor iron bars a cage."
Accept whatever limitations may be imposed upon you but strive continually to
better your position through a more thorough and more exact knowledge of the task
which you have to perform.
It has been an extreme pleasure to me to work Nvith you as a class and to see you
gain in self assurance and the ability to assume responsibility. It has been gratifying
indeed to watch your development. Now that you are about to leave Johnson High
School you may rest assured that your teachers will continue to maintain their friendly
interest in you as you assume the duties of responsible citizens of our community.
In parting, I will not say "Good-bye, Class of 1935" but simply, " 'Till we meet again."

1935 YEAR BOOK
Salutatory
It is my pleasure in behalf of the graduating class of 1935 to extend to you all our
most cordial and sincere welcome. You, our parents, who have done so much that we
may be a part of this school, you, our teachers, whose perseverance and hard labor have
made it possible for us to receive the full benefit of a high school education, and you,
our schoolmates and friends, who have helped us so much by your sympathy and com-
panionship, one and all we bid you welcome.
The Development of Secondary Schooling In This Country
The modern high school is not an institution developed within the last few decades,
or even generations. Its development has taken centuries. Early Rome's secondary
education was divided into the grammar school, the rhetorical school, and the university.
The changes of social pattern eliminated both the rhetorical schools and the universities.
The grammar or secondary school was left the sole bearer of the intellectual tradition
until the university development in the middle ages.
The grammar schools of the middle ages stressed Latin and the elements of logic
to prepare for advanced work in the university. The Renaissance changed educational
institutions a great deal, the study of literature and grammar being stressed. Latin,
however, was the dominating subject of 'both learning and teaching. Latin grammar or
secondary schools of the 16th century were intent on drilling boys in Latin classics and
grammar.
The Boston Latin School, founded in 1635, was fashioned after this type. This was
a tuition school; and in the modern sense it cannot be said to have been free, but it was
public in that it was controled and partially supported by the town. Boys were admitted
at the age of seven or eight, by fifteen or sixteen prepared for college. Its purpose,
preparation for college, was rigidly adhered to, and its curriculum was confined in a large
measure to the study of Latin and Greek. Although it was never a popular institution,
the school flourished; by the close of the century, forty Latin grammar schools had been
founded in New England. The main fault of the Latin school was that it made no
provision for the education of the masses and it fostered class distinction in the colonies,
a fact which led to the development of the academy.
In 1751 a new type of schooling sprang up, a grammar-college combination known
as the academy. This type of school did not become prominent, however, until the
nineteenth century. The purpose of the academy was to prepare boys and girls for
practical vocations. Although private and supported by tuition fees, the state legislature
was often generous in granting them aid. Close relationship between the college and the
academy did not exist as in the case of the Latin school, although some larger academies
offered the classical course as well as the English course. The academy, being demo-
cratic with respect to the curriculm, was socially open to only those who were able to
pay tuition fees and, in many cases, the expense of being away from home. The wide-
spread growth of the academy and its broad program of studies was of great influence
in developing the conception of the value of secondary education and in making more
young people wish to attend secondary schools. The tradition of the secondary education
was never connected with the common people, it being considered enough to have the
privileged few taught at the academy. Thus the academy was a large obstacle in the way
of universal, democratic high school education.
In 1821 Boston opened the English Classical School for boys who had finished
t;,e common school. Three years later the name was changed to English High School.
This was the first use of the name "high school" which has since identified itself with
all forms of secondary education.
The important characteristics of the early high schools were the demotion of
classics and a new emphasis placed on English: the aim, provision for entrance in some
form of vocation; a three year course of study; the exclusion of girls; the admission of
boys at twelve; and the articulation with the common schools.
It was with difficulty that the public throughout the country was persuaded to
support the high school. 1'1lany people had money invested in academies, or sent their
children to theirs. They objected to paying for the education of other peoples' children
13
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
and to supporting the institution that threatened their investments. The issue was
climaxed by the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Michigan, which stated
that the majority of voters in any community could organize and maintain such schools
in any way they saw fit. This decision proved to be the necessary authority to begin
the development of the vast high school system.
The first high schools were intent on training the pupils to meet some practical
needs of life. Later, however, a college preparatory curriculum was introduced. Great
care was taken in selecting the curricula of the high school, in order that the pupil might
benefit as much as possible and that a better articulation between the elementary and
secondary units might be realized.
In 1893 there were three high school students for each thousand of the entire popu-
lation. In 1930 this ratio had increased to 36 per thousand of the entire population, or
4,000,000 high school students throughout the country. The average high school has an
enrollment of less than one hundred pupils. The number of high schools in Massachusetts
has rapidly increased until now there are 240.
The high schools in general throughout the country have not yet reached their
high ideal. But, they have much, very much to their credit. May it be remembered as
stated in the Report of the Committee on Entrance Requirements: "The secondary schools
are the schools of the people, and the people have demanded, and in still more effectual
ways will demand, that the courses be practical, beneficial, disciplinary."
LEONARD WINDLE.
Class History
According to the age-old tradition of Johnson High School, on a hot day in Septem-
ber, a class of smiling, shy, and hopeful girls and boys were initiated into four years of
schooling, so like, yet far different from their preceding eight.
As we were a class neither above nor below the average, we had our share of
difficulties. The first arose on our first day, for, after disregarding at least three bel'.s,
we had to be summoned into the school by our principal, herself. "After all," we argue,
"how were we to know that bell wasn't a doorbell or a telephone?"
The readjustment did not take long, however, and the grind began.
The first diversion came with November—the Senior-Freshman party. A play,
"Miss Eva Neway's Schoolhouse," games, contests, dancing, and the Grand March a'.1
helped to make the evening extremely successful.
All eyes looked forward to the return party, and it was planned for March 17.
Incidentally, it was a George Washington Party. Freshmen will be freshmen, and we
had a lovely time.
However, it was not all happiness for our class, for we lost one of our best mem-
bers, James F. Costello.
The second year of school was no less eventful. Now we were the ones to play
jokes on the unsuspecting freshmen. There was but one dance for us this year—the
Junior-Sophomore. But there was another cause for excitement, for it was during; our
Sophomore year that there was organized in our charming school, a detention room.
Not much time was required to get used to this new plan—we all tried it out—to be more
careful how we passed notes in "spares."
September 6, 1933. This unique class (unique, not in intellectual ability, but in the
fact that it was different) goes onward. The class supper, the school exhibition, the
awarding of the prize book of the Harvard Club to Thomas A. Ceplikas, history, and
more history, comprised the program for the year. We are looking forward.
Now we are seniors! The past three years are but memories, somewhat vague.
The present and future is what counts! We realize now, the aim of schooling, and we
can look forward to greater things. We have had our fun, dances, pictures, honors, but
it has not all been fun. We have spent many wearisome and worried hours. We begin
to realize what the world about us has in store.
The class of 1935 marches on, not with glory alone, but with determination to
cope with the cares and responsibilities of our ,vorld.

Knowledge Is Power, and Power Is Success
Knowledge is power, and power is success. A nice little phrase, but what does it
mean, what do the words really mean? The dictionary tells that knowledge is under-
standing of truth or fact. Power has many definitions; perhaps it can best be expressed
by the single word—ability. Success is the obtaining of one's wishes.
The nucleus of our knowledge we have obtained in our first twelve years of school
life in the public schools of North Andover. This is the starting point on our long trip
through life. A few of us will go on to institutions of higher education, but some of us
will go through life with what we have obtained in this school. Thus, our knowledge
in many cases is complete except for what we learn while walking the paths of life.
Knowledge is power—we do not ordinarily think of knowledge as leading to power.
There are few cases, if any, where power did not come from knowledge. All the im-
plements of warfare to give power are a product of knowledge. Electric power, water
power, steam power, and many other kinds of power are a result of knowledge. Man's
power to paint pictures, make pleasing music, comes from a knowledge of how properly
to blend the colors or notes. When we stop and think, we see that knowledge really
does lead to power.
Many people think of power in the wrong way. They think of it in a destructive
way, such as having the power of the dictators in Europe, to crush others and to get
wealth and social position for themselves. Then there is the constructive way of think-
ing of power; the power of a doctor to cure sickness, and the countless other ways of
being humane. We, the Class of 1935, have our knowledge and power. We intend to
use it as a help rather than a hindrance to society. We intend to go out into the world
in a constructive, rather than a destructive, way.
Many people think of power as leading to success, but they think of it in only a
selfish, greedy way. They think of having the power to get money, thereby success; but
power can be applied in many other ways to give success. For example: Madame Curie,
the famous discoverer of Radium, had the knowledge which led to her power of dis-
covery. Her discovery led to her success as a scientist and a benefactor of mankind,
since it helps in the cure of that dread disease, cancer.
What do we mean by success? The moment most people think of this word they
think of wealth, of the great and famous men of today and yesterday. Not every man
or woman was made to be wealthy or famous, yet there are millions who are a success
without realizing it. They wish simply to be law-abiding citizens and earn enough to
support a family. Then they are a success—one may be poor and happy and yet be a
greater success than one who is rich and unhappy.
Thus, because we have the knowledge, it follows we have the power or ability to
do things. If we work hard and concentrate this power toward some one particular end,
we shall be successful. Since we intend to be a help rather than a hindrance to
society, we will direct our wishes toward some high ideals rather than a low one and make
ourselves constructive. Tennyson has expressed our hopes very well in one of his
early sonnets which reads:
Mine be the strength of spirit, full and free,
Like some broad river rushing down alone,
With the selfsame impulse wherewith he was thrown
From his loud fount upon the echoing lea;—
Which with increasing might doth fortune flee
By town, and tower, and hill, and cape, and isle,
And in the middle of the green salt sea
Keeps his blue waters fresh for many a mile.
Mine be the power which ever to its sway
Will will the wise at once, and by degrees
May into uncongenial spirits flow;
Ev'n as the warm gulf-stream of Florida
Floats far away into the Northern seas
The lavish growths of southern Mexico.

JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL,
Essay
Watching Johnson Grow
The year 1867 marked the end of a long, hard struggle. Nine year of stress,
anxiety, and need were at an end. At that time the school committee of North Andover
exultantly announced, "By the liberality of Mr. Moses T. Stevens and Colonel Theron
Johnson the town came into possession of a building which is an ornament to the village
and an honor to the cause of education." That building was Johnson High School.
We are amused to learn that the magnificent structure of which they spoke was just three
fourths the size of this hall.
Since 1856 the committee had been asking the town for a high school. Among
the natural reasons given for the necessity of such an institution I find one which is
both interesting and pertinent to the times. Instead of having men teachers in each
of the various schools during the winter term to teach the large unwieldy boys, and
changing to women for the spring term when the unruly boys would be working, it was
suggested that all the older pupils meet together at a central point, the high school, and
be taught by just one man while women teachers would be employed everywhere else.
This would be more economical because the average salary for a man was one hundred
and twenty-five dollars, but for a women only ninety-five dollars a year. At bit of jealousy
is hinted at in their statement that Andover had such a high school.
As the town did not take kindly to that suggestion, and the need for a high school
was growing increasingly greater, in 1860 the school committee announced another propo-
sition which made use of the existing buildings. But the struggle was in vain, for
with sickening disappointment the commitee learned that the town had voted against it—
by eight votes.
Another plea was made, somewhat dejectedly, in 1862. Again the town made no
response. Imagine the exuberance of the school committee and the appreciation of the
entire town when, out of the kindness of their hearts, M'r. Stevens and Mr. Johnson
did that which benefited North Andover more than any other single act.
Occupying only one room, Johnson High opened in 1867 with nine pupils and
one teacher. It had but a three year course and only five subjects were taught. Fresh-
men of today will think themselves very lucky when they hear that in those days in order
to be admitted the prospective students had to pass an oral examination before an entire
assembly of teachers, relatives, and friends.
The standards of the school were in great contrast to those of today. At that
time the school committee wrote that their supreme desire was to produce a boy who
could pass the examination to Harvard University.
Bible quotations and proverbs were freely quoted in .this long ago school. If you
were not always quite as industrious as was expected you were advised, "Go to the ant,
thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise.
In order to make use of all the available room in the school, in 1871 the committee
suggested very seriously that several families adopt from two to six children to fill up
the space and at the same time perform an act of charity.
In 1879 an incident occurred which proved to be of great importance in the history
of Johnson High. At this time, for the salary of two hundred dollars, a young lady was
appointed assistant principal of the high school. Her name was Miss Annie L. Sargent.
Johnson High School's debt to her is unbounded.
The graduating class of 1912 deserved special credit, as do the teachers who guided
it. Everyone of the ten members of this admirable group was able to enter a higher
school or college.
In 1914 the High School principal could announce that out of all the graduates
since the birth of the school, sixty-five per cent had gone to higher schools or colleges.
The school was growing by leaps and bounds as is shown by the to%vii reports from
1900 on, which all contain the statement, "The enrollment this year is the greatest in
history." To relieve the intolerable crowding, caused by an enrollment of one hundred all(]
tliirty, in 1916 the town generously voted a new addition planned to hold two hundred and
seventy-five pupils.
Since that time nineteen long years have passed; years which increased the enroll-
ment to four hundred and thirteen, and the teaching staff to fourteen, an increase of
seven. Obviously, with this enrollment the school and its teachers are taxed to capacity.
Yet despite whatever handicaps the depression may have brought, the tradition of high
scholarship had been maintained. Courageous teachers and ambitious pupils strive to-
gether to make Johnson High an institution of which the citizens of North Andover may
well be proud.

Modern Trends In Education
From a small nation engaged mainly in pioneering and agriculture, our country has
grown to be highly industrialized whose growth and progress has been paralleled
by a constant transformation in our educational system. As in the past men of high
character and intellect are deeply concerned today in a careful study of our system of
education so as to produce changes which will give to the American youth of tomorrow
an opportunity for the best that exists and that can be obtained through our schools.
Let us consider the important changes which are taking place in certain phases
of education. The most significant of these changes are the new aim of education, the
rise of the so-called objective examination, the changes in the curriculum, the growing
interest in extra-curricular activities, the increase in the number of subjects, the idea of a
junior-senior high school system, definite qualifications for teaching, and the more liberal
entrance requirements of our higher institutions.
Our first high schools were primarily built for the sole purpose of preparing those
Nvho had anv intentions of furthering their education in a higher institution., Later
schools tended to increase the knowledge and interest of an individual. Modern high schools
not only have these aims but they include another of vast importance. That objective is
to make the boys and girls of our country better citizens, so that they may be able to
take an active part in the activities of their communities.
The last quarter of a century has witnessed the rise of a new type of examination.
It is surprising to know that this type of examination, called the objective, was formulated
about a century ago by Horace Mann, a figure who has contributed much toward educa-
tional advancement. There is now a decided trend to put this form of examination in
our schools in place of the present essay type. The main arguments for this sort of
examination are that it is impartial; it takes away a]? possibility of favoritism; it shows
definitely the comparative progress of the students; and it determines beyond appeal or
gainsay whether the pupils have been faithfully and competently taught.
Other important trends of today are seen in the changes which are coming about
in the curriculum. The decline in the study of the so-called dead languages, Latin and
Greek, is a matter of controversy. Some authorities argue that Latin should be a promi-
nent course in our schools; for, since it is the key to one-half of our English, it would
result in a better understanding of our own language. Still others claim that it is more
important to study the newer sciences, instead of spending time upon Latin and Greek,
for "without physics, physiology, and psychology we cannot build a new world, but we
can without Latin and Greek." There is an increased tendency to study the newer social
studies—community civics, economics, and other social problems of democracy. The
popularity of physical education is spreading not only throughout the city high schools
but also throughout the smaller high schools.
Extra-curricular activities, such as student councils, assembly programs, and clubs
are tending to teach students the proper use of their leisure time. This trend is especially
noteworthy, for it is hoped that it will decrease the number of crimes committed by our
younger generation.
In order to accommodate the increased enrollment in our schools, it is becoming
necessary to combine the seventh and eighth grades of our grammar schools with the
four years of high school, forming a junior-senior high school system, each school having
courses of three years. This will prove of great value, for it will separate the students
into groups more of their oven age. Another advantage is that the students of a junior
high school will receive instructions in the various subjects by different teachers who
have specialized in them. Also in the junior high, a student will be given the opportunity
to experiment with subjects and find those which are of more interest to him.
The philosophy of teaching by the method of interest is rapidly replacing the method
of fear because of the ever increasing number of subjects which a student may choose to
study. Among this large number there are sure to be a few subjects in which a person
finds interest and enjoyment.
In former years any college graduate who had the ability to teach could qualify
for a teacher's position. Now practically all the states are making specifications as to
the education an individual must have before being allowed to teach. This movement,
resulting in the better qualification of a person to teach the subjects in which lie has
majored, will result on the whole in better instruction for the students.
A favorable trend, which will be of great benefit to those who in later years wish
to change their field of work, is the changing method by which it is possible for a student
17
J 0 H N S 0 N 111G11 SC11001_
to enter a higher institution of learning. Formerly a person in order to follow a certain
career, must have previously studied definite subjects pertaining to that profession. Now
the trend is to admit any high school graduate who has shown himself capable in his
studies to almost any course in a higher institution although he has not prepared for
that particular course.
From the important trends in education which I have presented to you, we can
readily see the splendid efforts which are being carried on to improve that noble structure,
which has been imbued by the best principles of our forefathers, which we in our time
are striving to make better, in the .hope that future generations will benefit by our con-
tributions as we have benefited by the contributions of those who came before us.

Class Prophecy
As I thumbed the pages of a well-worn year-book, I marveled at the fact that I
might again see those faces and visit old haunts in my mission to the East. For here
as I sat in the peaceful solitude of my ranch in San Carlos, California, a te'egrani lay
oil my lap stating that one of my finest thoroughbreds had broken his leg at Rocking-
hair Park and my presence was requested at Lawrence, Mass., in order that I might be
able to collect insurance from the lawyer of a well-known company.
As I went to work packing my grips. I wondered into what Nvalks of life my class-
mates had separated and if they had changed since I last knew them. I smiled to myself
as I remembered some of their latent talents and questioned whether they could have
been used to advantage. Already I knew that several of my classmates had reached
prominence in the nearby city of Hollywood. Paul Hickingbotham, that great lover of
the screen, was due to appear opposite Peggy Hunt, that sweet temperamental actr-.ss, in
a coming attraction.
Soon I found myself aboard a new stream-line express eastward bound. The
train was of the latest creation, capable of doing one hundred and seventy miles an hour,
and containing all the comforts of home. I found that the whole construction was de-
signed by the great W. Elmer Cassidy, world known engineer and polytechnical expert.
On this train I met Helen Connelly. Helen was just returning from a brief stay
in Reno and claimed that she often went there on business. I also learned that she and
Gertrude Gillespie had combined their talents and were running burlesque shows in
Chicago.
Returning to my compartment to have lunch, I was surprised to find that the
attractive stewardess was none other than Elizabeth McRobbie.
I soon noticed that all the food served, was from Earl Smith Co., "The Suppliers
of the Worlds' Food." I had always thought that Earl took more than ordinary interest
in foodstuffs.
Upon completing my meal, I picked up the morning paper and hastily scanned its
contents. I noted the date was June 3, 1950, just fifteen years since I graduated from
Johnson High and left the dear old town of North Andover.
Suddenly I read the glaring headline news that Rene Richard would be the next
probable candidate for president on the socialist ticket. He stood for radical changes in
the government.
On the woman's page was an article by the noted stylist, Blanche Barwell, who was
just entering the field of writing. Today's topic was "Solving Matrimonial Difficulties and
Woes of Home Life; Tried, Tested and Approved by Author."
On the adjoining column was the feature of the page, headed, "Advice to the Love-
Lorn," and edited by Ray Gosda.
Turning to the sporting page I found that Arthur Olson, noted psychophysicist and
able mathematician, was. a race-horse selector. He employed Newton's gravity laws,
combined his own formula for rate of moving bodies under unequal atmospheric resis-
tances, in making all his selections.
Before I realized it, my trip came to an end, and I was soon viewing my home town.
I found the buildings had changed very little, but all the faces seemed strange to me. I
wandered up Main Street and noted much commotion taking place at Railroad Square.
Upon investigation I learned that officials from Boxford were visiting North Andover
on a good will tour. A large crowd had gathered to listen to speeches by prominent
citizens. Henry Camire, a prominent office holder- of North Andover, dog catcher to be
exact, was acting as the master of ceremonies, ably introducing each speaker.
It did not take me long to find out that the crowd was waitin; patiently for Joe
Budnick, a by-product of local schools and present Mayor of Boxford, to speak. How-
ever, when the time came, Joe was reluctant to do so and complained of a sore throat,
much to the crowd's disappointment.
In the group I met Betty Atkinson, a social worker, and Dot Elliot, a -,_-,d Cross
nurse. They were both very cheerful and amicable, as they were looking for my five
dollars to help buy water-wings for the flood victims of the Shawsheen Valley region.
Having been a steady contributor to Helena Roche's fund for blind and stray cats and
dogs in California, I realized the plight of these unfortunates and graciously gave the
demanded sum.
By this time the rally had broken up, but the crowd was soon reawakened by a
clamor of bells and the screech of sirens. Arthur Aaronian, sensing a business opportunity,
came trouping in with his medicine show.
22
1 9 -1 5 YEAR BOOK
His stage consisted of the 'hack of a huge truck gayly decorated and posted with
numerous placards advertising "Dr. Aaronian's Elixir of All Earthly Ills." Aaronian
soon had the situation well in haled and promised some entertainment before he began
his sales.
The first attraction featured Alison Pitkin, who came dashing out in carnival attire
to do a gay rhumba dance.
Next Ralph Champion and his wife, a famous tap-dancing team, came out with a
specialty dance number.
Then Aaronian presented with much ballyhoo his feature act. He fed Everett
Bennett three bottles of said Elixir, who after this stimulation amwed the crowd by
snapping horseshoes and juggling huge weights.
After this, Aaronian began to sell his medicine and before I knew it I was the sole
possessor of one dozen of Dr. Aaronian's "Elixir for Earthly Ills." When I heard him
mention something the Brooklyn Bridge, I hurried away, as I had no use for it.
As I continued my way, a long expensive-looking roadster pulled up, driven by a
dignified looking business man. As he spoke I recognized Leonard Windle. After ex-
changing greetings, I learned that Leonard was a Sunshine Biscuit salesman and was on
his way to the High School for a sale. The thought of again seeing the old school
after a lapse of fifteen years thrilled me to the core, so I piled in.
On the way we stopped for gas at a large garage, bearing in bold letters across the
top "Cashman's Service." Inquiring of one of the mechanics about my friend, I learned
that Frank owned a string of garages throughout New England. He had long ago
settled down as a quiet family man, being ]harried as soon as his wife graduated from
high school, two years after he did.
When we arrived at the school, I was astounded. For here stood a palatial
structure with magnificent walls and pillars. Inquiring where the town had struck t11e
gold mine, I learned that Emile Boulanger, wealthy philanthropist, had graciously donated
large sums of money to the school in memory of his many, many pleasant years spent
there.
Roland Gesing was outside diligently sweeping the walk. I discovered that in view
of his service put in as a student, the school committee agreed to delegate to him the
janitor's job.
Wandering inside I found a pleasant surprise, for seated at the principal's desk was
Toni Ceplikas. After congratulating him I asked about his predecessor, Mr. Hayes, who,
I learned had been called away to Washington to help solve some of the domestic en-
tanglements 'by his mathematical prowess. Tom also stated that the school had grown
to be so large that he had to advertise for a special secretary. Upon his announcement,
Mary Roche immediately quit her position as private secretary to the President of the
United States and came to serve her Alnia Mater.
I also discovered that Elaine Eldredge and Dorothy Woolley had teachers' positions
in the school. Here I congratulated Tom again upon his splendid faculty.
Phyllis Culpon and Gladys Butterfield were capably managing the lunch room under
a new system they had worked out all by themselves. Quality foods for low prices.
And now Johnson High had a new athletic coach. Paul Coppeta, former Olympic
star, was now producing winning teams for Johnson.
Remembering my appointment with the lawyer, I called up "Beanland's Wide-
Awake Taxi Service," and before I had time to take a little snooze and smoke a few
cigars, one of John's drivers arrived for me.
After a speedy ride, I was soon on Essex Street and noticed men standing in groups
buzzing with excitement. I soon learned that the cause of the undue activity was an
event which was to take place that night. "Tiger Joe" Fitzgerald, the Turkey-Town
Terror, was to meet some Greek champ at O'Sullivan Park.
Hurrying through the common, I met Nellie Szymosek strolling along the walk
with a carriage containing triplets. I was all set to congratulate Nellie when she in-
formed me that she was a nurse at the local hospital and was just taking Jennie
Zabronowicz's children out for an airing.
At last I entered the Cregg Building, the object of my long journey. Here I was
surprised to find Mabel Dill scrubbing the corridor floor. But after a short chat with
Mabel, I found that she was a novelist and was scrubbing floors to find material for her
stories.
As I went into the elevator, I noticed Margaret Law stationed inside the information
booth across the way.
Soon I entered a spacious office richly done tip in symmetrical design. Imagine 1113'
surprise when I found the lawyer I had come so far to see was none other than George
Flanagan. Little had I realized that the "Flanagan R Co., Attorneys-at-Law," noted for
23
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
solving some of the country's most difficult cases, was headed by none other than our
Georgie.
After a brief conference, our little business was cleared up and since it was getting
rather late in the afternoon, I suggested that we hurry and shoot a few holes of golf.
As we left the office, I inquired why he had two secretaries. He replied that they
were Edith Lundquist and Marion Lyon, and if you hired one, you had to hire the
other also.
When we stepped outside, Frances Whittaker, the newly appointed police woman,
appeared and handed George some reports on her latest investigations.
At last we climbed aboard George's Packard and were whizzing down the road.
Along the highway I saw numerous billboards headed "A. Payne's National Advertising
Co." Directly underneath stood the slogan, "We Tell the World."
Riding by, I noticed Helen McCarthy's face slapped all over the front of one of the
billboards, flashing that demure "come hither" look in her eyes. Pat was listed as the
singing and dancing star of the Ziegfeld Follies. Below were the words, "To keep my
million-dollar throat in condition, I smoke Luckies. They satisfy."
On another poster appeared Kay Daw's lovely fac-simile. The recently elected
Miss America was advertising Madam Binn's beauty formula, for captivating skin.
Speeding through Andover, George called my attention to Eileen Lavin and Eliza-
beth Handy, who were busily gossiping over the backyard fence while hanging clothes
in their respective backyards.
Arriving at the golf grounds a great deal of cheering reached our ears. We soon
learned that Virginia Driver, noted sportswoman, had just succeeded in annexing the
Ladies' State Golf Championship by trouncing her opponent 5 and 4 in the finals.
After we had prepared to tee off for the first hole, I noticed something familiar
about my caddy's face. He was a little tot with a mop of curly red hair, all over his head,
freckled face and pleasant smile. He was also chewing gum with expeditious momentum.
I could resist no longer, so I asked, "Is your name McEvoy?"
"Sure," he replied.
Instantly I recalled Red and inquired how his father was. I learned that his pop,
the dub, (as the youngster put it) was. Chief of the North Andover Police Force. It
seems that his wife, had a close relative on the Police Force who secured Red a position,
and he gradually worked himself up.
After finishing the first hole we were held up somewhat at the second by two
flubbers ahead of us, who seemed to be having difficulty in striking the ball to the proper
place. I noticed one to be a distinguished looking gent with a natty beard and mustache.
As we passed, George to my surprise introduced the fellow behind the facial embroidery
as Raymond Amory Towne, Jr., A. B. B. C., etc.
Towne, I soon learned, was a noted scientist specializing as a theorist and mathemati-
cian. He had gained national prominence by proving several fallacies in Einstein's
"Relativity Theory" and was now setting up his own equation for man's existence and
movements as pertaining to fluctations of atomic bodies in Mars and Venus.
His golf partner and colleague, Gordon Andrew, was also a noted professor. They
had together startled the world by their publication "Benefits Gained by Abolition of
Women from Men's Business and Industrial Life."
Continuing our play, I was five up on my fran at the end of the fifth. On the
sixth I as usual slapped my ball 250 yards down the fairway, but George put a terrible
slice right into the adjoining cornfield.
We climbed over the fence and began searching for the ball in the cornstalks when a
ferocious looking farmer suddenly affronted us with an ugly shotgun and started cursing
up and down the cornfield. My fright, however, was soon turned to mirth as I recognized
Charlie Andrew. As I greeted him, he dropped his murderous mood and was soon
aiding in our search. Huck insisted on showing us his farm and some of his new fariner-
ettes, but we stated it was getting dark, and we had our game to finish.
Completing the match, I went to spend the night at George's house. The next
morning found me again aboard the train, westward bound. I considered my trip a
success from all angles and was forced to smile Nvhen I thought of some of my old class-
mates in their present positions.

Sports
Johnson High enjoyed a highly successful year in sports for the season
1934-'35. Our school was represented by teams of high calibre on the
gridiron, basketball court, and baseball diamond, under the capable tutelage
of Coaches, Walter R. Mitchell, Miss Dorothy Colburn, and Miss Glenna
Kelly.
The football team, which was composed of many newcomers, rounded
out to make a creditable showing. They succeeded in gaining four victories
and suffered six defeats. They won from Woodbury, Brooks, Chelmsford,
and Pinkerton, and lost to Manchester Central, Danvers, Methuen, Reading,
Manning, and Punchard.
Captain Paul Coppeta, who was chosen "All Suburban Halfback" and
also "Captain of the All Suburban Team" led the team through the past
season. Earl Smith, stellar guard, w•as elected to captain the team for next
year.
In Basketball, both the Boys' and Girls' Basketball Teams had an ex-
ceedingly fine season. The boys' team, composed mainly of veterans, emerged
victorious in thirteen out of fifteen contests, losing only once each to Wood-
bury and Howe by close margins. Due to their splendid playing the boys
annexed both the "Lowell Suburban League" and "Lawrence Suburban
League" championships. Vincent Miller captained the team. John Benson,
rangy center of the quintet, has been chosen to lead next year's hoopsters.
The girls' team, captained by Sylvia Broderick, also terminated a very suc-
cessful season, winning twelve and losing only one. The only game lost was
to Howe by a close margin. By virtue of their fine playing they also an-
nexed the "Lowell Suburban League" championship. Co-captains, Sylvia
Broderick and Corinne Lewis, have been elected to lead next year's quintet.
Johnson High was represented by another top-notch team on the
diamond. Due to financial conditions a curtailed schedule of seven games
was arranged. In these games the team performed creditably. At the time
of this writing Johnson had gained two victories and had received four losses.
Under the capable twirling of our star pitcher, Frank McEvoy, Johnson
opened the season by defeating Punchard 5-4. Johnson then traveled to
Brooks School where they won a slugfest in a thrilling game. The rest of
the games, although they were not successful for Johnson, were very close.
Since but a few seniors will be lost through graduation, Johnson
promises to have a good season next year. It is the hope of the Senior Class
that future Johnson teams will always be foremost in athletics.
