ALVAH GEORGE HAYES
ADDRESS TO THE SENIORS
xN this message I wish to express a thouglit which is not new, but it is
a thought which assumes increasing importance as the years roll by.
For the east twelve years you have studied, among other things, the history
of your country and the framework of your government. Your teachers have
attempted to inspire within you a spirit of patriotism, loyalty and devotion
to that country, and a respect for its laws. But these are essentials. No
nation can endure for long without adherence to these virtues. They are as
essential in a dictatorship as in a democracy ; as necessary in Germany as in
America. However, in addition to these virtues there are certain other
virtues which a democracy alone requires. The citizen in a democracy, in
addition to patriotism and loyalty and a spirit of obedience, must have the
power of wise decision. He not only obeys the laws but makes them. Con-
sequently lie must be able to look over his country, see its problems, and hear
a thousand voices crying in discord, and calling for contradictory solutions.
Not only must he hear these voices, but lie must also add his own to the
chorus and then make up his mind in the light of facts and reason. Through
this inevitable confusion of ideas, inherent in the democratic form of govern-
inent, lie must be able, through practice, to stand on his own feet and to act
as a courageous, well-informed and independent citizen.
I trust that }-our schooling has provided you with these virtues, for that is
certainly one of the major reasons for a school's existence. If the seed of
independent tliouglit and action has been implanted within you, your school
has succeeded ;— if not, then it has failed.

SALUTATORY
O the Principal, to the faculty, to parents and friends, it is my pleasure, oil
behalf of the Class of 1941, to extend to you all, a most cordial welcome.
WERE WE BORN FATALLY LATE?
NVhen we hear our parents and grandparents speaking about the "good old days",
many of us pity ourselves and feel that we were born fatally late. NVe think, "There
aren't any new lands to be explored, or frontiers to be opened and there aren't many
more things that can be invented. Yes, perhaps we were born fatally late !"
But first, let us loon: at the advantages offered to women today as compared with
those offered in the nineteenth century. After the Civil �Var, a woman's place was
in the home and there she remained, except when invited out by a man. The only
occupations available to Nvoinen of gentle breeding were those of school-teaching and
nursing. 'Women probably became teachers because teaching was the one occupation
which tied in closely with the li f e of the home and because f or a long time it was f elt
that no special preparation was needed. Nursing was another occupation which
tied in quite closely with the home. However, there were no regulations as to how
long a nurse should spend on one case, the pay was not too good, and the work was
usually the same monotonous, routine drudgery. 'Women also worked in shops,
factories, and large stores f rom seven-thirty in the morning until nine or ten at night
and for this health-ruining work received approximately five dollars a week. I do
not mean to say that women have never been anything but housewives, nurses or
teachers. There were empresses and queens, women physicians and women writers,
even bef ore the nineteenth century, but they were regarded as very unusual. Such
women felt themselves superior to other women and didn't encourage the belief that
there should be more opportunities for wonnen in general.
For the past fifty years women have fought to gain a place in the business and
professional world. Suppose a girl and her brother went on a hike. The boy,
whom convention had clothed more sensibly, wore long pants and high boots, and
plunged on ahead unhindered by the underbrush. But the girl, who wore the tradi-
tional skirt of women, was hindered by briars and brambles. This same condition
is true in ,vomen's fight for a place in the world. Some of the brambles the world
has placed before women are the ideas that : the Nvoinan who works outside her home
loses social position , she lessens her chances of marriage ; she does not take proper
care of her home. All these statements have been proved false by statistical studies.
A study was made of one hundred professional women, who had homes and chil-
dren to take care of. Their attitude was that because of their professional training
they have higher standards for their homes and as a result have more successful
homes than they would otherwise have. The single woman who works is made inde-
pendent of all Tier relatives. In the nineteenth century a girl, who didn't care to get
married (or didn't have the chance), and wlio didn't care to become a teacher or a
nurse, had to depend on some generous Father or brother to support her. Women
who have reached middle age and find tlieir children are able to get along; without
them, can and are entering commercial, industrial and professional work.
Now let tts loon: at the occupations available to women today. NVomen are still be-
CM11ing nurses and teachers, but how different it is no\\, ! ( hie has a choice of teach-
iiig in kindergarten, grammar school, high school or college. It is necessary to have
23
THE GOBBLER 1941
specialized training for each subject that one wishes to teach. Nursing, too, has be-
come a very specialized field. There are surgical nurses, inedical nurses, nurses for
doctors who specialize in throat and nose treatment, public health nurses, head nurses
in hospitals, schools, government buildings or business organizations, and army and
navy nurses. Many girls take a shorter training course and become technicians, dieti-
tians or social workers. Nursing is no longer dull and uninteresting.
Women's ambitions have extended to theology, law, and medicine. Perhaps the
fact that generous scholarships are available in the theological schools to men, but not
to women, may explain the small number of women students in the divinity schools
which are open to them. Women lawyers who have suffered greater handicaps in
establishing a practise than women doctors — apparently we are more cautious about
our money than about our health — have made great headway in the past ten years. '
Women have been successful in art, dramatic work, music and writing. Some women
felt safer writing under the noin de plimic of men as did George Sand and George
Eliot who were both women. In the commercial field, women stenographers out-
number by far the male stenographers. This may be because women are more effi-
cient than men, but that is a matter of opinion. Today %voiuen may become beauti-
cians, air hostesses, buyers for large stores, policewomen, librarians and they have
even invaded politics.
Some women have rather unusual occupations. One woman in Hollywood raises
spiders and rents them to movie companies. Prescribing for sick fish is the occupation
of Miss Ida Millen. BV merely looking at the eyes of a fish, she can tell what ails it.
Mary Hirsch likes to train horses and has proved herself an able jockey. There are
many, many more, too numerous to mention.
Our aspirations have been inspired by such great women as Florence Nightingale,
Jane Addams and 11adanie Curie. Those who have vision and foresight can see that
gleam of opportunity that lies ahead. So, wlien we hear about the thrills and adven-
tures of the "good old days", these lines of Tennyson's will make us realize that we
were not born "fatally late."
"So, young mariner,
Down to the haven
Call your companions
Launch your vessel,
Crowd your canvas,
And ere it vanishes
O'er the horizon,
After it, follow it,
Follow the gleam !"

CLASS ESSAY
YOUTH WILL SHOULI)EI: ITS 13URDEN
E present-day youth find our lives cast into a world of astounding vicissitudes,
manv of which have as their basisgreed, hate, and jealousy. Sandwiched in be-
tween the two greatest and most diabolical Nvars of all history, we become the
victims of the subsequent social and economic dislocation. Pessimists are inclined to
the attitude that ci-vilization is disintegrating, and that before long mankind will be
confronted by another epoch similar to the Dark Ages.
G. K. Chesterton once wrote that there are two ways of looking at everything the sun is either rising or it is setting. The youth of today prefer to think of the sun
as rising. We can see that the night has been long and dark, full of illusions of false
dawns, and that the present hour appears darkest of all. In this hour, we must fortify
ourselves with the thought so aptly expressed by Longfellow, "The darkest hour pre-
cedes the dawn : the lowest ebb is the turn of the tide." It is the duty of each one of
us of the younger generation to clo his kart to keep the lights burning on this earth.
Four main problems confront the youth of today — education, health, recreation,
and employment. I will discuss them briefly.
Our education must be both general and concrete. �N'e will need specialized train-
ing in our field of endeavor. Industry and business require skilled, efficient workers.
Various agencies have been set up to assist in the training of American youth. The
National Youth Administration trains many and gives their practical experience in
their respective lilies. The American Youth Commission conducts regular surveys,
and reports its findings to the various governmental agencies dealing with the prob-
lems of youth.
All this is being clone to help American youth find and establish itself.
After obtaining a substantial education, a youth then turns to his chosen field in
search of lucrative employment. In the last decade of depression this became a very
distressing and perplexing problem. Fortniiately, industry is now on the road to re-
covery, due mainly to our defense program. While this is a temporary and welcome
palliative, we have learned from experience that it is not a healthy situation. Eras of
artificial prosperity caused by wars are like houses built of cards —they quickly fall
apart with the first adverse gust of wind.
New industries and fields of opportunity are continually being opened up. We
must, therefore, be quick to see them, to train youth to take advantage of them. In
this way they can take their proper place in the world's social and economic struc-
ture.
.However, education and employment without recreation do not constitute a whole-
some life. Youth requires plenty of relaxation from the tedious routine of study and
labor, for "all work and no play" actually does "make Jack a dull boy." Wholesome
recreation helps produce a healthy mind and body. I3aseball, bowling, dancing, and
motion pictures are but a few of the many beneficial types of recreation. Placing
these before the public has grown into a business of tremendous financial propor-
tions. Parks and public playgrounds, botli local and national, have been built to eii-
courage a spirit of play. 1-1 ealth classes, clinics, and school health inspections all serve
to safeguard the health of youth.

THE GOBBLER 1941
The youth of today is deeply interested in every phase of international relation-
ships. We keep ourselves posted and up-to-the-ininute on all prominent local, na-
tional, and world-wide events. NVe form discussion groups and societies to represent
our views. Because we often express opinions contrary to those held by our political
officials, we are branded radicals, Communists, Socialists, Fascists, and every other
name in the book. In defense of these so-called radical views I say— in most cases
we have studied the situations thoroughly and thoughtfully before reaching our con-
clusions. Our views are our own. It is our sacred birthright to think of our govern-
ment as we please— so long as our thoughts are not subversive. We believe in these
rights, and even thoucy the often appear to cast them aside, I can truthfully say, that
if the time ever comes when we are in danger of losing these prerogatives, and when
they must be preserved, we, the youth of today, will rise up to a man, and fight to a
victorious end for those inherited ideals so close to all our hearts.
Our plan is simple. It is, in the words of Marie Curie, "N,\'e cannot hope to build a
better world without improving the individual." Through broader, specialized edu-
cation, proper recreation, and suitable employment, the INDIVIDUAL must be
trained to work both separately and collectively for the common good. NVe must fur-
ther our democratic ideals, improve upon them, and RECOGNIZE THE INDI-
VIDUAL. It is then that the world will be f ree f rom fanatical dictators, and the
conurion man will assume his proper role.
The sun is beginning to rise on a newer, brighter clay. Each of us will have a job to
do. It may be guiding the destiny of our country in business, law, medicine, labor, or
in the cornerstone of every nation --the home. 'V\fhatever it is to be, the task will be
important for every one of us. The world has offered us a burdensome challenge.
We, the youth of today, accept that challenge. NYe know that the struggle will be
hard, that we may have disappointments, and that we may fail and sink into the dust,
but we also know that we will rise again. The harder we fall, the higher we will rise.
Remember that.
In closing, let uie leave this thought with you. We have a job to do, and we are
going to do it. It may be a hard, bitter struggle, but we will not fail.

CLASS ORATION
The Sccrct of Siiccess is Constancy of Pitrposc.
S we scan this little quotation, it sloes not appear especially forceful or dynamic
compared to some others ; but we do not realize what a great truth this is artcl
how many times it has proved true right under our very eyes.
Almost all the great men in the world who were a success in their field had sonic
purpose or aim for which they could strive. They slid not begin the long road of life
without having some idea as to their destination and sonic definite route to follow.
They were not thrown off the track by alluring bypatlis. They were not discouraged
by difficult travelling or violent storms. They did not swatch the wavering
weathervanes to fix their course so that the wind would always be at their backs,
helping then along. l;ut rather they set their course by the ever constant northern
• star, and keeping in sight that grated height which they were striving for, they plod-
(led oil through dismal weather and pleasant, over daiigcrous patlis and safe ones,
26
1941 THE GOBBLER
through all sorts of mishaps until finally, by their perseverance and constancy of pur-
pose, they achieved that thing which few men or women can claim, the thing called
success.
Back in the clays of the Revolution, after the first shot had been fired at Lexington
Green and the Battle of Bunker Hill had taken place, the colonists were not thinking
of gaining their complete independence. They wanted only fair treatment by the
English Parliament, and by the ILing. But early in 1776 an Englishman, living in
Philadelphia, named Thomas Paine published a pamphlet entitled"Common Sense."
In it lie jointed out to the colonies by common sense and logic that it was practically
impossible to get a fair truce from England. He also stated that the time was now
ripe to dissolve all ties between England and the Colonies and to gain their complete
independence. This feeling grew until on July 4, 1776, tliev legally declared them-
selves free and independent, just as they were born to be. Now they had something
to figlit for. Now they had a purpose for which to wage those seven long years of
war. Now they had something far more important than a transitory truce to fight
for. Nov their freedom was at stake. Their purpose at Dorchester Heights, at the
Battle of Trenton, during the icy winter at Valley Forge and with all the other strug-
gles was ultimately the same. It was to gain their freedom from England. Were it
not for their constancy of purpose, would we not, very likely, be still under the paw
of the British lion?
Another example where doggedness of purpose has carried a man on to the pin-
nacle of success is in the case of Joseph Conrad. He was born in Poland in 1857 and
did not know a word of English until 1884 when he was made a British subject. Ten
years later, he was recognised as one of the most accomplished geniuses not in Polish
literature, but in English literature. Without a doubt it was his constancy of purpose
that helped hini start without a word of English and reach this height within the
short space of ten years.
One of the best examples that I know of a person gaining success by forever cling-
ing to the purpose which he started out with is Ulysses S. Grant. In the Vicksburg
campaign lie could see that by capturing Vicksburg lie could split the Confederacy in
two. He started in December, 1862, by sending Sherman down the Mississippi to
take the place by assault. Sherman's forces, ignorant of the strength of the fortifica-
tions at Vicksburg, were hurled back like waves from the side of a cliff. NN'hen this
failed, he tried to get in back of the garrison. He attempted this four times by means
of changing the course of the Mississippi, digging canals, and hauling his immense
gunboats through creeks which previously had scarcely been navigable by rowboats.
An ordinary man would have been floored by these defeats ; but not Grant. He saw
that the ultimate victory of the North over the South lay in splitting the South in two,
and this was the way to do it. Toward the end of April, 1863, lie conceived a plan.
The Union gunboats, in the dead of night, proceeded down the river and joined in
battle with the shore batteries. The transports, meantime, under cover of smoke and
darkness, slipped by the stronghold. Since Grant at last had his army below Vicks-
burg, he no%v began to surround the place. After a long siege, plus the capture of
.Jackson, he finally succeeded in overcoming the stronghold. Time after time lie had
failed, only to take up the problem anexv. Surely it was his dogged perseverance and
constancy of purpose that helped him take Vicicslnirg.
We see him again at the Battle of the Wilderness, now given full command of the
Union armies. The battle had progressed for three awful days. The scene was one of
the most bloody slaughters in the war. Lee, \\,ith a perfect knowledge of the ground,
had the advantage over Grant, who was unfamiliar witli the land. 1)espite this, Grant
telegraphed back, "I will figlit it out on this line if it takes all summer." As a matter
27
THE GOBBLER 1941
of fact, it tool: him all summer, fall, winter and half of the next spring to fitiht it out
before Lee surrendered. But when the odds were against him, did he say, "I'd better
wait until Sherman gets back r" Did lie say, "I'd better give the whole thin- tip?"
No ! "I will fight it out on this line if it tales all stunner !" And so we see again
where success has been brought about by the constancy of purpose.
Therefore, friends and classmates, let us benefit by the examples of those great then
who have gone before us. So let us, the Class of 1941, in s,:tting out into the broad
expanse of life, always keep this motto of ours next to our hearts and remember that
"The Secret of Success is Constancy of Purpose."

VALEDICTORY
EDUCATION FOR DEXIOCRACY
xN a world storm-tossed by the passions of war, greed, jealousy, and intoler-
ance, in a ♦vorld filled with changin- governments and political unrest, it is no
wonder that we of America begin to fear for the fate of democracy. The radi-
ant beam of freedom for the individual has been extinguished in first one country
and then another, until today there is but one powerful lance of light to battle the
hordes—the government of the United States.
However, it is not well for us in America to value this form of rule lightly or to
take the attitude that the older order must change and yield place to the new, and
that if democracy fails, a new and perhaps better type of government will take its
place. Rather, it is for us to make a self-examination as one great country (lid not so
long ago, find our weaknesses, and eradicate them so that when peace returns we inay
light the path to a new and better civilization based on our improved use of democ-
racy.
We all know that the virtues of a democracy are innumerable, but there are some
which shine out above all the others. One is the value it places on the dignity and
worth of man. This and the value it places on the liuman soul are the true tests of a
government. Communism and fascism are notorious for the little esteem they place
on these elements in human life. In those forms of government, man is the instru-
ment of the state, in sharp contrast to the democratic system in which the govern-
ment is the agent of the people.
Other highlights of democratic rule are the civil liberties which the American citi-
zen has. 1'lie Founding Fathers embodied them in the Constitution and in the Bill of
Rights, in which the emphasis is placed on the individual. For him the\. guaranteed
freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly, protection against unreasonable
searches or seizures, equal justice under law and equal voice in the conduct of the
government. A third distinguishing factor is the equality of opportunity which has
made such a poignant appeal to the foreigner and to the native. In a country with
the ideals of ours, each man is made to feel he has a place in the -,world and that lie
has the chance to rise as high as he is able — to make himself secure.
All these rights and privileges are the iiidi\,idual's. 'lThey stand in our Constitution
to help evolve the best in man. l lowever, if the country places the highest value oil
man, a corresponding duty or responsibility devolves upon lniiii. He is expected to
28
1941 THE GOBBLER
use his f reedoin not only for himself, but also for his fellowman. The government
requires co-operation from each person ; for example, if a majority Makes a decision,
then the minority is expected to fall in line with the others, although it can still cling
to its opinion. It is in this regard that education is most necessary to democracy.
It is by means of education of one hind that the dictators of Europe have become
such potent powers, for they have trained the minds of the young to revere the total
state. By the same means we should train the minds of our youth to revere democ-
racy. Beulah Amldon says, "Mightier than armies with banners, the quiet, undra-
inatic forces of education are the safeguards of freedoin, tolerance, and human
growth." So it is our duty to inculcate in the minds of Americans, both by example
and teaching, true loyalty and devotion to the American ideals, that posterity may
have what we inherited from our ancestors.
Since education is said to be the harmonious development of human personality, it
has within its scope the physical and spiritual aspects of maws nature as well as the
development of mea's mental faculties. It is the building of character, the making of
an intelligent electorate on which democracy is so dependent. In our schools we have
physical education which is not of a military type. We have the mechanical arts or
liberal arts courses for different types of ability. These in themselves do not educate
entirely or prepare a citizen for democracy. He must have a cultural training. As
one great educator has said, the person must be able to create as well as absorb facts,
and lie recommends that this ability be acquired through the medium of literature.
By reading great books and the works of the ancients, one can imitate the virtues of
those savants. As to the spiritual side of maa's nature, it seems to me that in a
country where God is recognized in the law of the land, we ought to reason, as did
Washington, who said, "N-N'hatever may be conceded to the influence of refined edu-
cation on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect
that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
If we are to say that democracy is the best form of government, then we will have
to prove it to its enemies with concrete evidence. We must show that it can cope
with changing conditions and prove we are capable of self-government. Our leaders
must have a keen sense of responsibility. We have to show that efficiency can be
accomplished by a united people. Naturally, democracy has its weaknesses, as any
system in the hands of man has, for man is not infallible. We. however, should lay
bare and then rectify these weaknesses.
Thus, you can see that there is a decided need for education for democracy. Those
great qualities of responsibility, co-operation, and obedience must be cultivated in
youth. Stories ccncerning the downfall of Trance point to the irresponsible leaders
as the cause of its betrayal. When democracy is made it living thing and, when each
and every one places his whole-hearted faith in it, then this goveriiinent of the
People. for the Pc'orlc, and by the people shall not perish from the earth, but will be
defended by a spirit so vividly expressed by John Runyan,
"NN.'lio would true valour see
Let him come hither,
One here will constant be
Come Wind. Come Weather."
Tonight the Class of 1941 is spending its last few hours togetlier. ( -aduation is a
clay of parting— a clay when the new paths of it larder life will be thrown open to
U.S. In inany respects graduation clay is a sad day ; but it sliould also be a glorious clay.
It means that the time has come when we shall realize our ambitions, for, after it few
29

snort summer months, Johnson's Class of '41 will bz!gin its life's work in a new
world. So, Classmates, let us face our world with the faith, loyalty, and the spirit of
service Johnson High has instilled in us. To practice Johnson High's ideals in your
chosen fields is to insure success.
Mr. Hayes, our principal, our captain, and our guide, may I express the apprecia-
tion of the class for your inspiration. To our faculty, we extend our gratitude for
your patience and encouragement. Parents and friends, we shall ever be mindful of
your loyalty and co=operation. Schoolmates, to you we leave the traditions of John-
son. May you maintain them.
Classmates, may the memory of these years of wort: and play inspire you to reach
your goals. And, as we take our fond i aaewell, remember, the secret of success is
constancy of purpose. The Class of 1941 bids you all farewell.
JOSEPH C. FINNERAN
CLASS HISTORY
OIN �Vecliesday morning, September 8th. 1937, a large group of freshmen
_ walled slowly into the large red-bricked building on Main Street that is
known as Johnson High School.
Summertime pleasures were gone, but not forgotten, and many remarks amcern-
ing that big Clive or that long hike through the woods floated through the air. After
schedule carols had been given out and there had been a short lecture from -die prin-
cipal on where the rooms «ere, the day began. It tool: two minutes, the time aliotte.l
for room changes, to find the floor of the room where you wished to go, and t�yo
more minutes to find the room. Although the school was not so crowded as it is
today, the cafeteria was jammed at recess with hungry boys and girls from all four
classes. At two o'clock you were dismissed with two to four big books under your
arm. Those first days seemed to be the hardest, but there were better things to come.
We had our first class meeting the last of September and Robert (Boxy) Sullivan
was elected class president, an honor which lie has held for the four years.
Early in November, some upper clansmen volunteered to show us how to dance.
\Ve were extremely awkward at first, but when December 10th, the date set for the
freshman-senior dance, rolled arc->und, we were fairly well prepared.
Hatch's orchestra supplied the music. I remember one s�lectiout in particular,
"Vieni Vieni". Ice cream and cookies were served as refreshments.
NYhen we got our report cards that fall, we were both surprised and delighted to
find out there weren't going to be any mid-year exams oi- any finals, c,rtngiutg the
custom of preceding years when eighteen clays Nvere consumed in preparing for such
a test of our knowledge.
After the Christmas vacation, we murdered Caesar in more than one "Then
we tried our skill as poets.
The next year we returned more "in the know" about school activities and lau li-
ing merrily at the blundering freshmen. Dancrs, clubs and sports began to be:onic
poptular anion- the utcntbers of our class. 11i0lo"y, 1"re>>ch or Gel-Inan and social sci-
ence replaced junior business training, artd general science rn- civics. On one of our
30
f
1941 THE GOBBLER
biolo,y trips two boys overturned a stone uncovering a field mouse, much to the
alarm of the teacher and the girls present.
We had a hurricane that year and a flood shortly after it. Because of no electricity,
school was out for a few clays. Assembly programs every other Wednesday made
life around the school more interesting. These were outstanding : the magician, the
artist, and the XV. P. A. band which played "Deep Purple", a popular tune of the clay.
NVe also had "Night School" that year, to which a large crowd came. We acted out
"As You Like It'", read Benjamin Franklin's "Autobiography" and then tried to
write our own biography.
"Lena Rivers" was shown as the annual school play and it was a great success.
The third year was planted in the memories of all the class of '41. We studied
algebra and history, typing and shorthand. The debating club ran a dance that netted
them 65 cents profit.
Stunt Night the juniors put on the winning play called "Playmates." This
scored a major hit among all students. The baseball team had a very good season and
Sullivan topped the batters of greater Lawrence.
The `Big Hit" of the year came on June 13th, when we had the Junior-Senior
Prom. NVe danced to the sweet strains of Val Jean and his orchestra, drank punch,
and, on the whole, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Much credit goes to those on the
committee for making it a great success.
September, 1940, arrived after we had had a dozen swims at Stevens' or a few
weeks at camp or in the mountains.
We started off with a bang, beating every opposing team in football except Punch-
ard, who refused to play at the last minute because of the early heavy snowfall. This
refusal caused quite a commotion, because we hadn't beaten Punchard since 1913.
A group of students, mostly seniors, marched the four odd iriiies to Andover to pro-
test this decision, although probably it was the most sensible in the long run. The
girls' basketball team continued the success in sports by becoming the champions of
Essex County. After studying trig, senior social science, and a little physics, we took
time off and had our pictures taken. Room 8 became something like a stock ex-
change, only the pupils exchanged pictures instead of shares.
NN'lien we came back after spring vacation, class honors were bestowed on the lucky
ones and plans were made for another prom, a sequel to the one of 1941. Every-
thing is nearing the end now. The Graduation Exercises remain and after that we
shall leave this place where our teachers have aided us to climb the first rung in that
long ladder of life.

press. Someone clumps a copy of it on my already cluttered desk as he passes
by. Having nothing better to do, I decide to see what particular news this day
in 1951 has for me.
Flaring headlines catch my eye. "CHIEF OF FIRE DEPARTMENT MAKES
THRILLING RESCUE. Flames were rapidly demolishing the Robert Weatherbee
Department Store, one of a large chain, when the Chief, Bill Donahue. heard the
anguished screams of a woman. He was playing with death when lie clashed into the
burning building. After what seemed hours, lie emerged with a woman in his arms.
Miss Pauline Frost, head buyer of women's clothes for �Veatlierbee's, had been
trapped, etc." Sharing the spotlight with the former is the write-up given the dedi-
cation of the Johnson '-Men-lorial Hospital. Photos of Dr. John Greenler and Dr.
Joseph Finneran, whose tireless efforts are responsible for this hospital, are included.
In the background of one of the pictures I notice four pretty nurses, reading from
left to riglit : Irene Curry, i.'eggy Soucy, l"Iuth Kennedy and l:utli Atkinson. A mes-
sage to the people from the Chief of Police Warren I:ea is also given a prominent
spot on the front page. A brief account of the important case which District At-
torney Douglas Culpon has just \von holds my attention for a few seconds.
Pictures are splashed all over the paper. There is one of four young women who
are taking up duties as army hostesses. The navies given are \N ornia Keith, Barbara
Bishop, Elir_a Hebb and Ethel Lewis. A photo snapped in a ritzy night club run by
F Thomas Calzetta shows Bob Kiniel, North Anclover's most eligible bachelor, sur-
rounded by a bevy of beautiful blondes . . . and apparently enjoying it. Another is
of a strikiiigly beautiful girl in a white erinine wrap. The caption reads, "Society
Singer l�thyl Lawton, oil her way to the broadcasting station to sing with the number
(nu, baud of the clay, George Mayes and his Turkevtowii Strutters." A group picture
of some of the Johnson I I igh teachers, taken at their iiioiitlilN- ineeting, shows :

lion ; Germain, Wade Westbrooke ; mathematics, George «'iltou ; biology, William
Bartley ; music, Elaine Farnham ; domestic arts, :Marcella I4ebb ; French, 11Iarion
Flanagan. Then there is one of a dancer who is rapidly climbing to faille, Mary Etta
Plummer. A picture of a stunning blende catches illy eve. It is of Ilea Murray, Nvho
has just won the title "United States' Most Ileautiful Mcdel."
The editor of the society laage, Virginia Miller, has a good section today. The
cameraman has caught Danny Valpey, head of a huge steamship line, and Sylvia
Harris, this year's best dressed Nvoinan of the world, enjoying a tete a tete at the
country club. There is a photo of that ravishing red-head, Trene Oates, star of stage
and screen, upon her return from Europe with some suave looking Count in toy.
According to an article oil this page, Helen Polichnowski, physical instructor at an
exclusive girls' finishing school, and Nlarian McClung. clean at the same school, are
home for the week. A very splendid account of the fashion show which previewed
the latest creations of Madeline Cashman, well-known costume designer whose
clothes are now as much in demand as Schiaperelli's, is given. Barbara Dearden,
famous technician, Doris Jackson, interior decorator, and Arlene Smith, fashion edi-
tor of a popular women's magazine, were photographed as they left 1'Iadeline's
fashion show. Joyce Chadwick, heiress of the Chadwick 5) and 10c Stores, was
snapped as she lay stunning herself oil the sand at 'Miami. Then there is a s'lort write-
up of the Readers' Club meeting at which Connie Kruschwitz, author of the best-
seller, "I Got My Man", gave a book review of her new novel. A picture taken at the
charity bazaar shows the former Shirley Harrison, President of the Young harried
NVomen's Club, sipping tea with Jo Tardiff, photographer's model, and Fran Le-
febvre, airplane hostess. Another article goes on to say that Miss Dorothy Harris,
whose paintings have been winning loud acclaim, will lecture at the weekly meeting
of the Art Club. A very charming picture was snapped of the prominent banker, Bob
Garneau, family man that he is, surrounded by his five children as lie tool: them
through the zoo.
Looking over the "Radio Highlights of the Day," I come across several naives be-
longing to former classmates. The Andover Theater Guild, of which Bob Wain-
wright is president, is presenting a play tonight starring the top-ratiing box office star
of the day, Helen Lang. The noted dietitian, Sarah Jacobs, is going to give a tall: on
proper diet this afternoon. A little later in the day a musical program featuring
George Massey, famous vocalist, Lena Ranfone, songbird of the air, and that swing
trio, Elaine Ayer, Evelyn Dawson, and Laurel Ayer, will be heard.Joe NVillis, sport
commentator, is to come on in late afternoon, followed by Charlie Welch's "News
Round-up."Reports oil community welfare will be given by social workers, June
Barnard and Wilma Haddow, early this evening. Ali important issue of the day will
be discussed by the Governor of Massaclitlsetts, His Excellency Ernest Fickenworth ;
President of the Howard \Tewspaper Syndicate, Thomas Howard ; Alderman Glenn
Farley ; and editor-in-chief of "The Clarion", Tom Lesure. A lecture on recent dis-
coveries in science is to be given by the noted cheinist, Marguerite Costello, tonight.
At last 1 reach the sports page. Sports editor Jimmy Guthrie has for his headline.
"Noolne Twirls Red Sox to 8th Straight Victory". I]e al,o includes an e.xcellent pic-
ture of Bill Lafond, first baseman , Joe \Toone, pitcher ; I?rnie Summers, center field ;
and Rav Broadhead, mallager of the lied Sox, taken before the ganie. Accorditl to
Jimmy, Bob lZichard, owner of a large string of race horses, has just purchased an-
other one. And then he tells of Bob Sullivan's receivi>>g the appoilltnnelnt of head
coach to I loly Cross. "there is to be an exliibitioii teii>>is match betweell the world's
outstanding w011lail tennis player, Charlotte Krusclnvitz, and Rita Pickles, ruiner-up
of the title last year. Ali acluacade featuring .Isabelle AlcKiniloln and Eleanor Bar-
JU
1941 THE GOBBLER
rington, holders of several world records in swimming, and Irene Tavlor, this year's
woman diving champion, is scheduled to come off tonight. A good photo of the bad-
minton champion, Eleanor Lewis, in action, is on this page. There is another of
Frank Carvell, the most daring stunt flier around, and his chief mechanic, Berty Pat-
terson, taken at the airport with Frank's hacker, Oliver ILirk, the tobacco king. Still
another is of Doris Goodrich, professional roller skater, as she goes through her act.
The paper seems to have a lot of advertisements today, some of their quite unique.
One advertising a popular cigarette brand takes up half of one page. It is of a glam-
orous girl posed with a cigarette in one hand— the testimonial is signed, Dorothy
Nicoll. The opening of the Nifty Escort Service by Eddy Naylor and Fred Chase is
given a lot of space, too. A big, tempting dish of ice cream is used to advertise Dew-
hirst's Ice Cream Stands, owned by Jimmy Dewhirst. The ad for Emmons' Grille is
quite different from the others — no doubt George thought of it. The filling station
owned by Kenneth Robinson, the most prosperous one in town, also has a big ad.
There is an advertisement which reads, "Alex Fraser — Dealer in Used Cars" and
another announcing the opening of a kindergarten by Eleanor McNally and Virginia
Gile. A very exclusive and very expensive beauty salon operated by Bitty Earl and
Louise Page has an advertisement which has to do Nvith the celebrating of its fifth
anniversary. A lovely girl with a beautiful smile looks at.nle from a toothpaste ad
her name is Mary Carroll. Then there is an ad for Donnelly`s Taxicab Service, owned
and operated by Phil Donnelly, stating that it is the best and promptest service in
the city.
"Yes," I at last decide when I lay the paper down,"the Class of 1941 has certainly
made a place for itself in this man's world. I just know that the top is where you'll
always find it !"

Coach Cavalieri knows for the first time since he came to Johnson what it
