We, the Class of 1942, dedicate our
GOBBLER to Mrs. James Heron, who
left our faculty this year after nineteen
years of faithful teaching. She gave un-
stintingly of her help in coaching the
plays, and her patience at all times was
limitless.

Class Song
(Tune of Auld Lang Syne)
Dear Johnson High, we're leaving you,
To find our hearts' desire.
Through all the vears our friendship true
Let each resolve inspire.
We hid adieu to Johnson High,
Our teachers fond and true.
As nleni'i-ies crowd, Nve softly sigh,
The fleeting hours are few.
Let's pledge a toast to Johnson I-1 igh,
A cheer for the unknown rearm,
Farewell, farewell, a last goodhve,
"Forte-tNvo" is at the helm.

'Yne&&cu e to tke un.ion4
CTHE question I have most frequently been asked by you during
the last few months is, "What should I do now that our country
is at Nvar?" President Roosevelt gave an excellent answer to that ques-
tion when he stated, "Young people should be advised that it is their
patriotic duty to continue the normal course of their education unless
and until they are called, so that they will be prepared for greatest use-
fulness to their country."
The high school student of today will be the one to grapple with
tomorrow's problems for many years to come. You may be one of to-
morrow's leaders. You must prepare yourself now for that leadership.
Without leaders the nation and our way of life will die.
The decision you make now, as you *-raduate, will affect the entire
course of your life. Understand your responsibilities to your country
at war, but remember too, that the nation will not always be at war.
Considering these facts, decide how you can best meet your responsibili-
ties now and in the more distant future. Impulsive action you must
avoid. You must determine a course of action which will not only serve
your immediate needs, but which will prepare you for a lifetime of
work and service.
Leadership is always in demand. We cry out for it in times of
crisis, but it must also be present in times of peace. It is not easily
attained. It is usually a slow and arduous climb which demands ability
to inspire confidence and obtain cooperation. These gifts are slowly
gained. Another attribute of leadership is knowledge._ Some leaders
have been rough and unpolished, but none have been ignorant. The leader
must know, else he is not fit to lead. Accordingly, my advice to you
is that you continue to increase your knowledge now, in order that you
may be able later to inspire that confidence in others which will mark
you as a leader in the service of your country or in the affairs of your
own small community, wherever it may be.

To the members of our School Committee to our Principal, Mr.
` Hayes, to the faculty of Johnson High School, to the parents and
friends, may I extend to you, on behalf of the Class of 1942, a most
cordial welcome on this eventful clay of our lives.
A LIBERAL EDUCATION IN A PRACTICAL WORLD
In a world of mechanisms and practical living, the tendency has
been, in recent years, to change from the outmoded liberal education to
the streamlined practical education, which would fit more easily into
these modern times.
First let us consider the meaning of these two terms. The liberal
education is the cultural one, which is the basis of all education : i. e.
the study of Latin, Greek, and other languages, literature, history, art
and music. The practical education, which is no newcomer, is the train-
ing of young people to become skilled workers in one of the many
trades. They may become typists, machinists, electricians, welders, fac-
tory workers, etc.
Especially since the outbreak of the first World War, the gradual
inhibition of the liberal education has been more painfully noticeable.
In all the European countries, practical education has been advocated
and put into practice, while the now obscure liberal education has been
forced to take a back seat. Even in America it is becoming evident that
the liberal education no longer occupies the high position which it held
many years ago. The whole world is becoming mechanical-minded. All
the nations are trying to outdo one another in a frenzy of machine
production and in the development of their natural resources. Culture
has been laid on the shelf, noticed little or not at all. Chivalry is dead.
Women are toiling alongside the men in defense factories, while many
are occupied in Civilian Defense. Some modern Amazons in Russia even
share the actual combat duties with the male warriors.
You may ask the question : What good can a liberal education be
in securing and maintaining a position? Certainly a knowledge of
Greek or Latin does not help one in operating an induction motor or
the like. However a liberal education helps us to culture and refine-
ment and broadens our minds so that we may better carry on our rela-
tions with our fellow employees and our friends. A liberal education also
sharpens our wits, and develops quick thinking, keen minds, and good
judgment in us. The United States government shows its acknowledge-
ment of the good points of a liberal education by stating its preference
for college men to all others for positions in the Air Corps, where the
before-mentioned traits are a necessity.
Consider also the reasons for acquiring any kind of education. The
purpose of an education is to enable a person to take his position in
life and to maintain friendly relations with society. A person who has
had only a practical education may be able to attain excellent employ-
ment in his trade but the chances are that his personality will be most
drab, he will lack wit, and social life will be a complete failure. Oil the
other hand, the person �vho has had a good liberal education will prob-
ably advance much farther in life, not necessarily to a better job, but
through his culture at least to maintain a more favorable position in
society.
Looking oil the other side of the question, a practical education
also has its advantages. It is certainly both profitable and sensible to
23
THE GOBBLER 1942
learn a useful trade in these war times. However, no matter what the
trade may be, it should be studied along with enough liberal education to
make a well-rounded course for the student. Back in the olden days
when the practical education was already popular, the liberal education
was not neglected. According to the Guild System a boy served a seven-
year apprenticeship at a trade, but during this time his master -\vas
obliged to supply him with a reasonably good liberal education.
Education is not the mere possession of knowledge, but the ability
to reflect upon it and grow in wisdom. Another important thing to re-
member is that education does not end when one leaves school, but con-
tinues all througli life. There isn't one day when one doesn't learn or
discover something new— as ininute as it may be — a fact, a trait of
human nature, or a new idea or reflection on some well-known subject.
Many students leave high school with the idea that their education is com-
plete and that their days of studying are over.This is decidedly the wrong
attitude to assume. Even if one is not so fortunate as to be able to further
his education at a higher institution of learning, lie should continue to
broaden his intellect and to keep informed of current events by reading
good books, magazines, and newspapers, by attending profitable lectures
or concerts, by listening to worth-\vhile radio programs, or even by patron-
izing carefully chosen motion pictures.
There are no better examples of success in life through a liberal
education and especially through the reading of good literature than
Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. Washington. A large part of Lincoln's
sessed a keen wit and a marvelous understanding of human nature, both
success was due to his extensive consumption of books. Lincoln pos-
of which lie no doubt acquired in part from his copious reading. He also
was master of an excellent rhetoric, as can be easily seen in his immor-
tal "Gettysburg Address". Booker T. Washington was a poor Negro
boy who managed to acquire a good liberal education through much
diligent work. With this behind him, lie went on to become a great
Negro educator and to write several fine books. He is still regarded as
one of the greatest Negro figures of all time and has been an immeas-
ureable benefactor to his race.
An excellent example of the importance of culture to a nation can
be seen in the case of Sparta and Athens. Sparta, at the 'southern tip
of Greece, was, like present day Germany, the height of military per-
fection. She possessed the most marvelous military machine of her day
and had progressed far in physical achievement. Farther to the north lav
Athens, the center of all European culture, -where lived the great writers
and philosophers of that time. The belligerent Spartans only scoffed at
their peace-loving, long-haired brothers of Athens. However, when the
Persian hordes started to roll against Greece, it was not the warlike
Spartans, but the Athenians with their strong cultural spirit, -\vho engag
ed the enemy, defeated them, and saved their country.
In closing, let me set forth the thou--lit that a liberal education or
culture is the basis of all civilization. When culture ceases to exist, the
world will slump back into a wretched state, unparalleled since the Dark
Aces. Thus in order to survive as a nation and a people in this material-
istic and warring world of today, we must not only be supreme in our
practical achievement but we must also continue to nourish the spark of
liberal culture. Let us see that it is not extinguished so that we niay live
to again see the daNvn of another era of culture, like that created bNT man-
kind in the golden eras of the past.
ROBERT II. NVI:NZEL

Ir1942 THE GOBBLER
TIIE ROAD BEFORE US
War- is a great stultifier and now that America is at Nvar, it will be
hard to avoid the dishonesty, the prejudices, the lies, and the blind pas-
sions that hide so naturally under- the cloak of patriotism. The tendency
will be toward a lowering,,
owering of the moral and intellectual level in a move-
ment downward that will be unanimous, a by-product of national unity.
Restrictions are already in force and many more will follow. The ordinary
citizen will have to give up many things, which, although not essential,
have become symbolic of America's better- way of life ; however this will
not cause real suffering. Hanson W. Baldwin wrote, "We can lose the
Nvar ; but we -�yori't if the nation works and sweats and bleeds for victory--
and the elements malting for a survival in a predatory world are concen-
trated singlemindedness upon one aini, victory, a complete national will-
ingness to subordinate all else to this end, and a vigor and energy of
purpose that no pain or toil or trouble, no reserve or defeat can dampen."
American opinion may have to accept most difficult and profound
changes if this war is not to end in some sort of unpredictable chaos.
These changes affect certain fundamental problems of America as a na-
tion and its relation to the rest of the world. For instance, should America
renounce forever the policy of isolation? If this is answered in the aff irm-
ative, should America accept boldly the responsibility of asserting its
leadership in the reconstruction of the world which will follow the war-
if it is Avon by the United Nations ? The isolationist's Utopia has broken
down time and time again. America has taken part in all the major Nears
since the end of the eighteenth century. But after- each war, there has
been a return to the dream of aloofness and escapism. While the isola-
tionists conclude that it is America's duty to insulate itself, the reformers
feel that it is America's mission to set an example for the whole world
and have the whole world benefit by it.
It is President Roosevelt's conviction that winning this war would
be hardly worth while, if, after it is won, America withdrew from the
peace, as it did in 1919.
The fact that there is such wide interest particularly in America
in the future peace and in the world of tomorrow springs from a variety
of motives. The first one is the real and deep abhorrence for war which
exists in this democracy. The thought of peace is an incentive to carry on
the war. The second is the indestructible American faith in human pro-
gress, according to which it is impossible to accept a war--even if it is
one in which one's very existence is at stake--without the ulterior inten-
tion of making war serve to create a better world. The rehabilitation of
I;urope can hardly be achieved without the help of America. This help
can manifest itself in two essential ways : as an inspiration and as a mod-
erating factor. It can he expected that America will see the war through
by a process of internal adaptation which will not involve a radical
OF break with the past.
This adaptation to Nvar will have drastic results and each citizen
will feel it, but there are no signs as yet that this will mean structual
changes in the political system or a different orientation of American
point of view on fundamental principles. For this reason America will
serve as a sort of bridge between the past and the future which is now, in
the making. It Nvill assure the continuity of civilization, a role which no
25
THE GOBBLER 1942
other nation is in a position to play now.
The purpose of this war cannot be anything else but to make democ-
racy work, for the simple reason that in the world democracy is contained
the best of two thousand years of human effort toward a better world.
The road we must follow is not new. It is the road of reason. This
civilization of ours is infinitely rich and generous. It contains all the
inspiration w'e need for a thousand years to come. Our aims for the future
world seem very distant and sometimes dim, but we know that there is
no hope of reaching them except through victory. Although we see a high
rugged road looming ahead of us, we must climb if we want our great
democracy to function noiv and forever, and if we want future genera-
tions to enjoy peace and the God-given rights of man.
CONSTANCE M. F'ITZGERALD

HE CONQUERS WHO CONQUERS HIMSELF
Man should be proud of having the task, the privilege, the heritage,
not of outdoing the giants in their fields -- men like Rembrandt, Dickens,
Pasteur, and Edison — but rather of satisfying his own scrupulous con-
science that he has done his best in conquering himself.
The goal towards which one strives should"be the fulfillment of one's
self-satisiaction. This may seem easy to do. Yet just how easily are we
going to be detoured by the obstacles that loom before us ? Let Beetho-
ven, the deaf musician, and Lincoln, the frontiersman, serve as examples
of men who overcame their difficulties despite their obstacles. Then let
someone speak of his own handicaps that are too great to surmount.
Regardless of physical or financial handicaps, whether you end up rich
or poor, it will not matter so long as you make the in.ost of what you
have, and always strive in the direction of self-satisfaction, but not with-
out consideration of others.
Be willing to give credit where credit is due. There is a story about
a young interne, James, who was elated -- because of his brief know-
ledge concerning the matter -- that he did so well in saving the life of
a premature baby. Later on he learned the success was due to the head
nurse's fifteen years of experience with premature babies.
I propose that each one strive first to develop his standards of judg-
ment. For instance, everyone should read widely, and think over and
discuss what he has read. He should cultivate friendships among the old-
er, more experienced people. In this way he may learn to profit from their
mature judgment. Instead of falling into the common errors of impulsive
youth, he will temper his own ardent spirit and learn from the silvery
hairs of experience.
Yet, he must not become completely dependent on others. He must
make his own decisions. He can not lean everlastingly on the shoulders
of others. When his own native common sense, his judgment, and his
conscience tell him that he must stand alone for the right, he mast have
the independence and stamina to stand on his open two feet. Despite all
the help older heads may give him, he must dare to face responsibility
and risk making his own mistakes. As Theodore Roosevelt said, "The
man who never made a mistake is the man who never dared."
26
1942 THE GOBBLER
Try to see ourselves as others see us. Projection often helps us to see
our faults more readily and makes us better able to remedy them. This
will improve our efficiency by getting rid of our faults. It may seem a
little hard at first to do this, for bad habits are not easily broken, espe-
cially if they have already made a deep impression.
Never say, "I cannot break that habit ; I tried before and I cannot."
It takes time and will-power and also a little backbone. Have perserver-
ance, for perserverance generates success.
Lastly, satisfy yourself that you have done your best in making your-
self a better man to talk with, to live with, and to work with. Only then
can one honestly say, "He conquers, who conquers himself."
JULIUS CEPLIKAS

TAILOR - MADE TEXTILES
For untold thousands of years man used vegetabl,, and animal
' fibers to satisfy his needs for fabrics. Cotton, wool, silk, and flax, each
with its peculiar characteristics which limit its utility, are the mast
important of these. To be sure, he improved them--lengthening, strength-
ening the fibers, lowering the cost of the finished product. And that they
still hold the leading role in our textile world is indisputable. But in the
short space of fifty years synthetic fibers have invaded the field to such
an extent that their domination of it in the not-too-distant future is not
improbable.
Silk, product of a lowly -\worm, has always been considered the Queen
of the fabrics, but in Count Hilaire de Chardonnet the silkworm found a
rival. The Count was well equipped Nvith knowledge of the worm, having
studied under Pasteur and assisted him in his study of the silkworm
disease which threatened the great industry of Lyon with ruin. In 1884
he began manufacturing his artificial silk, spun of nitrocellulose. Highly
inflammable, it had to be put through a denitrating process developed
by Sir Joseph Swan. Chardonnet's process, now obsolete, was important
principally in that it was the first to produce a multiple-filament yarn
by squirting a cellulose solution through tiny holes.
In 1892 Charles F. Cross and Ernest J. Bevan, an English research
team, discovered viscose rayon, made by a tricky process in which teni-
perature, time, and humidity must be strictly controlled in order that
there may be no variation in the finished fiber--a process which produces
two-thirds of our rayon. The Bemberg cupramnionium process, as well
as the viscose and nitrocellulose, merely regenerate cellulose.
Cellulose acetate, put on the market in 1910 by the Dreyfus brothers,
is a distinctly different fiber.
The search for a synthetic silk had brought about the development
of these fibers. Since they were in no wise synthetic silks, and since to
the public the term had unpleasant connotations, the filament-makers
agreed in 1924 upon the generic name rayon. Camille Dreyfus, following
their lead and scorning the naive rayon for his acetate fiber, coined the
name Celanese. To this day the manufacturer urges the public to dis-
tinguish between them by including in his advertising matter a test for
deterinining the difference betIveen Celanese and rayon.

THE GOBBLER 1942
With the rayons and, more recently, with other synthetics, such as
Nylon, the textile industry has created all sorts of made-to-order fabrics
--sharkskins, crushproof velvets and crepes. High twists, every degree
of permanent luster or dullness, staple fibers, varying spinning treat-
ments opened vistas of possible new effects in fabric. The different dye
affinities of the rayons, as of wool and cotton, permit the economy of
cross-dyeing, resulting in many original color effects. The trick, bor-
rowed from the silkworm, of stretching filaments to increase the ten-
sile strength makes possible a rayon yarn stronger than steel wire —
Cordura, a viscose yarn used as the cord fabric in automobile tires.
In 1939 Du Pont introduced an entirely new fiber, nylon, contain-
ing no cellulose, and developed by Wallace Carothers. It is really new
in that it is a totally different combination of the elements and since
the term nylon is a generic one, -\v'e may expect other nylons. Nylon
.vas offered to, the public, not as a cheaper substitute, but as a new,
man-made, higher quality, and more expensive fiber and as such, the
demand for it was tremendous, showing that the unpleasant character-
istics associated with a chemical substitute in the public mind had dis-
appeared.
Following the development of nylon have comp other fibers made
from non-cellulose raw materials. The National Dairy Company has
produced Aralac from the casein of milk to be blended with other tex-
tile fibers. The Ford Motor Company was making upholstery fiber for
use in its automobiles from soybeans. The development of a noninflam-
mable fabric made from dried seaweed has been reported to the Ameri-
can Chemical Society. In addition to new fibers, textile research has
given us flanieproofing, waterproofing, milde-,vproofing, and shrink-
proofing to prolong the life and improve the appearance of our clothes.
The -war has had its effect on synthetic fibers as on every other
field. Cut off from world markets, Germany and Italy must of neces-
sity have developed synthetic fibers, like the Italian casein fiber, Lani-
tol. The defense program created a greater demand for all types of
materials. The war with Japan, erasing silk from the textile picture,
forced greater production of nylon.
In the creation of new fibers the properties of wool, cotton, silk,
and flax have been taken as models. Those natural fibers have been
the standard by which the quality and performance of the man-made
have been judged. But it is beconi,ing increasingly evident that they
have qualities which are distinctive, unlike any in nature. It may well
be that textile fibers will one day be made with characteristics to fit
the requirements of a particular need and purpose and that -we are en-
tering an era of textiles "made-to-order".
Tonight we, -the Class of 1942, terminate our four brief years at
Johnson and pass on, each to his own task in a broader, more exacting
world, leaving the timeworn traditions and the slight innovations -we
may have made to you -who fallow. We carry with us -ratitude for the
leadership, guidance, and trust given us, along with unstinting work
for our welfare, by Mr. Haves. We take away, also, an appreciation
which -\-vill grow ever deeper with the years of the efforts of our faculty
to put into our hands the tools for making a richer, fuller life.
They have been happy, fun-filled years which will live in our mem-
ories peopled by the friends whom we have made here. And so, with
regret for what is past and hope and best wishes for that which is to
conic, I bid von, on behalf of my classmates, a simple oodbve.

The duty of Class Historian, I find, is a surprisingly pleasant one.
To record the incidents of our school life that have brought us to the
very threshold of graduation is an unspeakable joy. Even the wearisome
routine, the hardships, the disappointments which we experienced along
the way, now have a bright radiance as we recognize their influence in
our preparation for this day and for a future bright with possibilities.
The history of a high school class is unparalleled. A person hardly
thinks of it as a history. We worked, played occasionally, and have our-
selves to show for it. Our history is not of great achievement, but of
preparation and development.
For the last four years we have been progressing, slowly, but pro-
gressing. We entered Johnson fresh from grammar school, proud and
scared. We were a group of astonished students. Some of us were doubt-
ful as to what to do and say, but everyone was proud that lie was a
freshman at Johnson. As we became accustomed to the new environment
and the thrill of the new experience, we settled down to work.
After learning the rules and regulations and the procedure of the
various classes, we plunged into the task of advancing both in our scho-
lastic and extra-curricular efforts. Before we knew it, we were the guests
of the seniors at the Senior-Freshman dance. After a short period the
class officials were elected and we conducted the Freshman-Senior dance,
with the seniors as our guests.We worked diligently at our subjects and
accomplished much and in a short time, it seemed, the year came to an
end.
The next year we took tip the task where we left off before. Again
much was learned. We advanced in both scholastic and extra-curricular
standing, and we worked industriously to merit the advancement that
would come to us in its proper time. In this year we enjoyed ourselves
at two class affairs, the Junior-Sophomore dance, and Sophomore-Junior
dance.
The junior year brought increased responsibility, a growing recog-
nition in student activities, more difficult assignments. We put forth our
best efforts, for just before us stood the goal of our high school ambition,
the senior year. This year a social atmosphere prevailed in the class on
three occasions, the Junior-Sophomore dance, the Sophomore-Junior
dance, and the Senior-Junior prom. In methodical order another year ran
its course.
Then as we reached up to begin the senior year, it seemed to step
down to greet us. We performed our assignments to the best of our abil-
ity, enjoyed ourselves at the Senior-Freshman, Freshman-Senior dances,
and the Senior-Junior prom. We have learned much in the administration
and execution of our affairs. Wise direction by the patient faculty has
broadened our outlook, deepened our sensibilities, and heightened our
ambitions. We shall not stop here. These pleasant years have been spent
in preparation for the fulfillment of our specific obligations to society.
And so, tauglit in the basic principles of good clean living, we are prepared
proudly and confidently to carry on.

All New York and then some is at Times Square. It is 1962 and
the National Peace Conference is being held in New York. People
from all phases of life are here ; newspaper workers, secretaries, doc-
tors, etc., as we shall see. They will go home with new ideas for local,
state, national, and and even international peace.
Ali, the parade is beginning. National President Punky Stewart, in
his limosine is ahead, escorted by Secretary of State Julius Pierog and
Secretary of the Interior Charles McCubbin. The next car is filled .with ex-
ecutives from the army, navy, and air force. General Robert Earl, Ad-
iniral Daniel McCarthy, and Air Marshal Harry Narushof are all there.
Ouch, someone bumped into me ! It is Barbara Bannan. She tells
nie she's designing costume jewelry for Lord & Taylor and that Mary
Norris is also there in the College Shop. This gets interesting, so we
talk more. Una Richard and Phyllis Hurd are doing commercial art in
the advertising department of the New York Times, of .which Norman
Andrew is the editor. Lillian Amshey is modeling at Saks.
A group of Boy Scout leaders goes by. Donald Milne is the na-
tional leader.
There are several small platforms erected at one end of the square.
One is for the National Medical Society. Jean Swanston, as superinten-
dent of nurses at the Massachusetts General Hospital, is there. Among
her assistants are Dorothy McKinnon, Veronica Mandry, Winifred Slier-
lock, Ruth Diamont, and Rita Walker, who are all staff nurses there.
Elizabeth Renault is in the psychiatry department at John Hopkins.
Just now a newsboy sells me a New York paper through which
I glance casually. (The parade is slowing up a bit now.) The enter-
tainment page boasts a photograph of Jacqueline Hutton, who has
stepped into Katherine Cornell's shoes, a-nd a picture of Elizabeth
VVentworth .who likewise occupies Lily Pons' former dressing room at
the Met.
Another page shows Paul Routhier of the Red Sox with manager
George Rennie. John Saunders is also playing with them.
The parade has stopped and the celebrities have gone. When I
turn around to go myself, I bump squarely into Barbara Colebrooke,
wlio is up from Washington for the conference. She is congressional
librarian there. Anna Evangelos is there with her as her secretary.
The three of us go to lunch at the 10 - 50 Club where William Hib-
bits and Eugene Boeglin have built up a neat little business. They have
Samuel Armstrong, Walter Frost, and Bart Forgetta to take care of
the food end of things, Donald Hilton the financial end, and Samuel
Bardsley the entertainment end.
Bardsley tells us that Frank Guerrera has taken over the Arthur
IN-Turray Dance Studio. Sophie Iworsley teaches la conga there and
Williain Kent the waltz, fox trot, rhumba, or any other.
After lunch I take a trip to a secretarial school on 42nd Street. It
is run by Ruth Craig and Thelma Champion. '! hey tell me about the
girls' business club that they have formed. Edith Callard, who is sec-
retary to Neil Keating, belongs. Neil, Benjamin Pearl, and George
Gildea have an engineering firm in Brooklyn. Jean 'McNab, Betty
Smith, Lillian Carlson, Virginia Al itchell, and Doris McDonough also
belong.

1942 THE GOBBLER
Tonight we are going to a convention at Radio City. When we
get there we decide to go to a studio before it begins. Evelyn Lee is
there taking all the mother's parts in the Lux Radio series. At the
convention Julius Ceplikas is the guest speaker. He is the president of
Standard Oil, where Phyllis Terret, by the way, is doing research work.
1\-7argaret Milne as Phyllis's secretary is taking notes for her. Two
seats away from us are Eleanor Kreusel and Elizabeth Doherty. They
run one of these reducing businesses. There is a beauty parlor there,
where Carolyn Dimery and Dorothy Stone will fix your locks and Leah
Broughton your fingernails. John Martin is the business manager, and
Margaret Curtin their bookkeeper.
Frederick Hill is on the stage as representative of the American
Dental Society. Later we learn that Janna Daly is his assistant.
After the convention we bump into Frances Peel and Gertrude
McKay who have an exclusive dressmaker's shop oil 5th Ave. We go
to see it and on the way meet William Wood, of the American Hor-
ticultural Association, and Calvin 1'ardiff, Stanwood Morse, Walter Ma-
zurenko, and Eugene Fionte. They still live in Mass. and have truck
gardening establishments. They tell us that Robert Donahue, Ernest
Scowcroft, Robert Mattheson and Francis Hayes, of the U. S. Air Force,
are in Washington.
When we get to the Peel-McKay shop we see Frances Fleming
and Connie Fitzgerald, Henry Street Social workers, and Carmella
Petteruto, secretary to New York State governor Robert Wenzel.
Next door to the shop is an orphanage run by Gertrude Cook, as-
sisted by Lillian Kattar, Marion Kimball, and Jane Proulx. Jane tells
me Fileen Proulx is helping Doris Wilson in the latter's photography
studio. They are near William Morse's nickelodeon shop.
The next morning when I go downstairs I see one of the porters
talking to an important-looking gentleman who happens to be the man-
ager. It is Earl Rottler. He tells me that there are branch establishments
in Philadelphia, Boston, run by Kenneth Marshall and Joseph Gile.
lie also tells me John Bonney, Frederick Blackstock, and Charles Mc-
Kinnon are skiing instructors in New England.
Henrietta Holz is physical instructor there at a sporting lodge.
Lottie Kozlowski and Carolyn Gile are school teachers in Boston and
Edward McCallion, Harvey Jackson, and Paul De T'eresi are all officers
and are stationed in Washington.

FOOTBALL
Johnson High had an in-and-out season with four victories and four
defeats going into its last gaine with Punchard High. The boys on the
team realized this game, if won, would make it a highly successful
season ; or if lost, a rather poor one. Before 4,000 •fans on the holiday
morning Johnson High finally chalked up a victory over its suburban
rival by the score of 8 to 7. It was the first time since 1913 that
Johnson had defeated Punchard, and the second time in that long span
of years Johnson had scored on their Andover opponents, playing a 7-7
tie game back in 1921.
The usual starting line-up %vas : 1. e. Boeglin, 1. t. P. La Fond,
1. g. Poh, c. Saunders or Cramton, r. g. L. LaFond, r. t. P. Hulub, r, e. E.
Sullivan, q. b. McKinnon, r. H. b. R. Rullivan, 1. h. b. Rennie, f. b. F.
Stewart (Captain).
At the banquet given under the auspices of the Eclectic Club, Mr.
Hayes awarded sweaters to the following: Guerrera, P. Lafotid, Saun-
ders, McKinnon, Boe-lin and Stewart.
