We, the Class of 193 U, dedicate this hook to Miss Mary E. Heald, who has won the grateful appreciation of all by her untiring services in behalf of our class activities, and whose spirit is an inspiration to those who know her.

Miss Martha Abbott

Mr. George L. True Miss Norma Washburn
who have always given unlimited time and aid to us in our under¬ takings, do we., the Class of 193 If, ivitli grateful acknowledgement, give our heartfelt thanks; And
(Eu (Pur Jijunnrary i\Mnser
Miss Harrietts M. Perkins
through whose efforts, our operetta “Pinafore” achieved such tre¬ mendous success do we express our sincere thanks and appreciation.
We, the graduates of Malden High during o ; year when expedient accomplishments must be made in order to advance civilization and not to retard it, are true “Pioneers” in every sense of the word. It is true that our homes are already built, our roads constructed, our seats of learning erected; but, nevertheless, it is our task to keep them from falling into utter ruin and decay.
This is our beginning ; ive are in the pioneer¬ ing stage of our lives and are all to go into the ivorld. It is not to be a world of luxury and ease, where we shall be fondled and petted; rather, it will be a ivorld of strife and depression, passing through a critical era; a ivorld where we can re¬ ceive that and only that for which we fight.
All humanity is being threatened today with economic upheaval. New plans are being enacted in the hope of changing these conditions. It is our sacred duty to advance these causes, new and, strange though it most assuredly is. Let us meet it with the true “Pioneer” spirit of our fore¬ fathers.

Who Makes Our Wars?
Leon N. Satenstein
In the past few years the sentiment for peace has been stronger than ever before in history. In every civilized country in the world peace-promoting organizations and inter-national societies for better cooperation between nations are springing up with incredible rapidity. Pamphlets are circulated and articles appear in the papers condemning war as a futile and stupid means of settling arguments ; mass meetings are called; disarmament conferences meet, and the League of Nations struggles to preserve peace by settling international disputes in arbitration.
Yet, in spite of the societies, in spite of the protest-meetings, in spite of the pamphlets and the ghastly pictures of war that we see in the papers, in spite of the conferences and the League of Nations, in fact, in spite of everything, not the faintest ray of ultimate world peace can be discerned piercing the war-clouds overhead. The passion for war burns more fiercely now than at any other time since the last great slaughter. Every contin- nent is like an immense, seething volcano threatening to burst forth into eruption and hurl its hot, destruction-bearing lava over the face of the earth. In every corner of the globe wars are brewing or actually being waged. South America is torn to pieces by her warring countries; Asia is the battleground of Russia, China and Japan; America shakes with the foolish fear that distant Japan is reaching out for the Phillipines with a long, clutching hand ; and Europe is an armed camp where preparations for war — which everyone delights in calling preparations for defense — go on apace.
And as I look over this evidence of the world’s growing insanity, I wonder why the people, who should have learned the folly of war through ages upon ages of useless strife, still persist in this venerable practice of shooting each other down, with no tangible result save a depression in the industrial and financial world and a lowering of the population. And in answer to this perplexing question I have reached an inevitable conclusion : Money makes war. The worshippers at the feet of the twin gods — Gold and Mars — are the arms and munition makers. Every day as they kneel before these idols, in fervent prayer they beseech them crying very piti-
“THE PIONEER”
fully, “Oh, our gods, give us this day a little war, so we can make a lot of money.” During the World War it cost twenty-five thousand dollars to kill a soldier and nineteen million soldiers were killed on the battle-scarred fields of Europe. This brings the total cost of the war to the stupendous sum of four-hundred billions of dollars. Of this, almost one-third — enough to buy all Europe and the United States, found its way into the coffers of the munition-making concerns.
Conclusive evidence proves that workers for disarmament have been blocked by the operations of a secret and powerful international ring of munition-makers whose policy of making money is a virtual alliance with death himself. They bribe government officials, they foment war-scares, and influence public opinion by disseminating in the press false reports concerning the military and naval operations of foreign nations, and they speed up the armament race by playing off one country against another. They wield immense fortunes through ownership of banks and industries, and they control legislation by domination over governmental politics. Those who promote this propaganda that frightens and persuades nations to load themselves with useless arms and a burden of debt are business men whose interest it is to encourage inflated patriotism and national animosities. Their purpose is to sell as many munitions as possible to friend and foe alike. Their motto is “for king and country” — any king and any country. Their axioms are first — to disturb peace, and second — to prolong war. In order to show you with what brilliant success their noble efforts have been crowned, let me cite one incident typical of their activities.
In the World War, Briey Basin was the source of eighty percent of the mineral ore used by Germany to manufacture her war materials. In 1915, French troops who had been ordered to destroy Briey were surprised when a counter-order issued by the Comite des Forges commanded all firing to be witheld. The troops obeyed the order and waited. They waited, and waited, while 1915 turned into 1916, and ’16 into ’17 till the war had reached its natural end. What had happened? Simply this: The Comite des Forges is that sinister conspiracy of iron-masters whose president, besides having a controlling interest in some of Europe’ greatest munition¬ making plants, is also a member of the French cabinet, a director of the Bank of France, and the owner of the leading French newspaper. It didn’t matter to the Comite that the war could have ended three years earlier had Briey been shelled ; it didn’t matter that billions of dollars might have been saved, and millions of lives spared.
This is only one bit of evidence of the ring’s merciless business methods. France and England both supplied Germany, via Denmark and Sweden, with plenty of munitions to carry on the war. Germany, not to be outdone, did its bit for the Allies by shipping iron, steel, and even machine guns to France when that nation needed help. On a green in an English village there stands today as a monument to the British war-dead, a great cannon bearing the inscription, “Captured from the Germans.”
MALDONIAN 1934
On the other side is a plate bearing the name of the English firm that manufactured the gun. In the Dardenelles, British troops fell before a withering fire from British automatic-rifles held by the Turks. German soldiers were trapped by barbed wire sold to France by German manu¬ facturers. England and France were in constant terror of the German dirigibles for which they supplied the necessary aluminum. Here in the United States we send down our ambassadors of peace to Bolivia and Paraguay, and on the same boat sail our ambassadors of war in the form of American-made cannon and rifles.
Our statesmen, in order to economize, cut off the pensions and bonuses of the war veterans, and then out of the public works fund they draw hundreds of millions of dollars for battleships which are absolutely use¬ less in modern warfare. With one hand they push away those who suffered most directly from our “war to end all wars,” and with the other they prepare for another war necessitating more bonuses and pensions, and bringing on another depression and another public works fund. A very profitable cycle, you will admit. The question leaps to our mind: how many members of Congress and representatives at the disarmament con¬ ferences, which always — Is it strange to say? — are failures, own shares in the munition-making industries? These politicians do not reflect the feel¬ ings of the people they are supposed to represent, but the various business concerns that rule the country. These investors in the corporation of Death must delight in war. The more deaths there are, the more profits. The more blood, the more dividends. For every shell that screams across the sky, a few more pennies jingle in their pocket books. My proposal is to abolish war by abolishing the profits of war and to end this ghastly exploitation in destruction for private gain by placing the whole armament industry under government control. By this one move the insidious lobbies of the munition firms will be swept from the floors of Congress, and their agents will disappear from the halls of the disarmament conferences. World peace will no longer be an ideal, but an established fact, and that prophecy shall be fulfilled wherein it is said: “They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war any more.
However, if this terrible menace to society continues to thrive and exist, peace is an impossibility. Nations always will live, as they lived; in constant fear and distrust of one another, and the bloody hand of death will blotch and mar the face of the civilized world.
Bear this thought ever in mind : Those who live by arms live by the fears and hatreds that make wars. When war does come, they grow fat. The insane follies and madness of mankind are their daily bread and butter. The catastrophes that impoverish the world are their banquets. They sow the seeds of hatred and death to reap the harvests of gold.

Nationalism, A Menace To World Peace
Jacob H. Gordon
In spite of a desire for peace greater than ever before, nations are jealously clinging to their arma¬ ments, and seeking commercial advantages as a means to power. Each nation of the world, increas¬ ingly self-conscience and ambitious for more re¬ sources and commerce, has felt with growing keen¬ ness the clash between the business and national ideals. Today we have few statesmen large enough to throw off the shackles of “Big Business”, but mere politicians who measure value in terms of money and power. The clash of business in¬ terests backed by intense national egoism has brought us, not only to the present state of depression, but also to the verge of war.
What is the reason for this state of affairs? The answer is nationalism. Patriotism and loyalty have been the slogan by which the leaders of nations have developed these extreme nationalistic tendencies. It is nationalism that calls out in no uncertain terms that home merchandise must be bought. Inevitably this is resulting in the erection of high walls of tariff and in the exclusion of foreign trade. The outcome, the only one possible, will be the creation of hostility between nations.
What are the evils that nationalism is producing for us today? Turn with me to Italy. There we find Mussolini, her Premier, loudly proclaim¬ ing that Fascism is the only hope of the world. Pointing with pride to past wars of Italy, he states that Italy’s patriots died for a worthy cause and others will be as prepared to die under his regime. Though he feels that Italy is not, as yet, ready for world dominance, this man is toying with the idea that modern Italy is the heir to the Holy Roman Empire, and he is in the grip of the obsession for world power. Again turn with me to Germany. Here we see a country of discontent and bloodshed under the rule of Hitler. This tyrant states in no uncertain terms that Germany must become the greatest world power. What is his policy ? It is conquest, and contains three distinct steps: first, the expulsion of all non-Germans; second, the conquest of France; and last, the conquest of the East. It is a policy that would brutally impose upon other nations, .its own extreme national civilization.
MALDONIAN 1934
Both these governments, Italy and Germany, under the principle of nationalism, challenge every basic principle of humanity — aspirations en¬ shrined in our bill of rights, freedom of speech, of conscience, of press, the equality of all men before the law, regardless of race or religion. These nationalistic tendencies arouse in us a feeling of apprehension that many more millions of the youth of the nations will be swept into a maelstrom of war.
And what course is this fever of nationalism running in a free, democratic country? The United States has sins to confess. Has she not aroused a feeling of hostility by intervention in foreign affairs in Cuba, the Phillipines, and Mexico? Was it not purely for her own economic gain that she interfered? Is she not today causing ill-will by the erection of high walls of tariff and her slogan of “Buy American”?
Nationalism, then, as we know it today, an inheritance from no earlier a century than the 13th, is almost outworn. Time was that the life of the nation was lived, for the most part, directly within its own boundaries. Each nation had its own civilization, its own culture, and its own interests, fundamentally independent of the civilization, culture, and interests of other nations. Each nation was sufficient unto itself.
But what a change has come over the world. Through inventions and inter-communications, the world has become more closely connected, so that all the people of humanity are members of one vast family. No nation can remain self-sufficient. The life of the people of the world can no longer be merely a national life; it has become a vast, complex, rich, many-sided international life. The dramas of Shakespeare, the poetry of Goethe, the music of Mendelsohn, and the paintings of Millet today make a cosmopol¬ itan appeal. In truth, all human interests are shared, fostered, and de¬ veloped by the people of the whole civilized world. In view of such complex organization of the world no nation should set or can afford to set its own greed for possession above justice. Each nation must recognize the rights of other nations. In a word, the solution of our problem of greed for power lies in internationalism. Internationalism— the settling of international dis¬ putes by international law rather than by international murder! Inter¬ nationalism — that form of world relationship that the complex organiza¬ tion of the universe demands !
The adoption of extreme nationalism would be a return to medieval conditions of strife. But, how, when the world has expanded into a larger and nobler organization, can its people even remotely suggest fitting the mode of thought of ages past on this modern world? We can easily see from existing conditions that internationalism is no longer a dream — it is a necessity.
Neither can we say that internationalism is something new or strange, for all of our leading statesmen like Washington, Franklin, Lincoln, and Wilson preached and advocated it. “I hope that mankind will at length,” said Franklin, “as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason

and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats. Were they to do it even by the cast of a die, it would be better than by fighting and destroying each other. God grant that not only the love of liberty, but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man, may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set foot anywhere on its surface and say, “This is my country.”

Woman, the Peacemaker
Dorothy J. Cleveland
In his book entitled, “About Women”, John Macy makes this surprising statement, “I have no confidence in women as peacemakers.” If Mr. Macy had derived his wisdom from the history of 400 or even 150 years ago, we would agree with his state¬ ment; for we recall that early in the 16th Century, Queen Anne of France, wife of Louis XII, in order to provoke war between Scotland and England, sent a turquoise ring and one of her gloves, with her love, to King James IV of Scotland, bidding him ride three miles on English land and strike three strokes with Scottish brand. The romantic Scotch King paid dearly for his idealism with his own life and that of the flower of Scottish nobility.
In the 18th century, too, woman was the directing and commanding voice in France. She held everything, the will of kings, revolutions, war, and peace, the destiny of France, in her hand. It is said that Madam Pompadour, mistress of Louis XV, had great political influence and “upon her rests the responsibility for that sudden change in the traditional policy of France toward the House of Hapsburg which enabled the vindictive Marie Theresa to fan the ashes of the War of the Austrian Succession into the devouring flame which ravaged Europe for seven long years.
Where romance cloaked the deeper designs in the earlier centuries, today we find frank expression of the real motive when women encourage war. Dame Fanny Lucy Houston, England’s richest multi-millionaire woman, is a worker against peace, not only because her source of income is munition factories, but because she is active in militaristic propaganda. She denounces Prime Minister McDonald for squandering millions of dollars on peace conferences instead of buying cannon and battleships. So after all Mr. Macy may have grounds for his distrust of women as a peace factor.
However, today, women like Dame Houston are the exception rather than the rule. Our criticism of the American woman points to the in¬ difference of women.
The question might be asked, “Why women should be interested in peace?” In the first place, women are the mothers of the race. They have e brought men into the world and had the care of them through infancy,
“THE PIONEER”
childhood, and youth. Both as mothers and as teachers they have worked for and with their sons more than men have. As we have seen in the Great War, war is the supreme enemy of our young men, and if we want to keep the youth of the world for the pursuits of peace, we must prevent war! We need the youths for our future statesmen, artists, architects, and in all the walks of life.
In the second place, women are by nature the peacemakers. Woman is always more sympathetic than man toward strangers. She settles all disputes and harmonizes all social relations in the home. Professor Robert Briffault, the ethnographer, tells us in his book, “The Mothers”, “It is the woman who takes the lead in negotiations with strangers.” What more natural thing, then, that they should be workers for peace in the larger home, the world?
In the third place, women are not yet immeshed in politics as are men. They are not hemmed in and forced to pursue certain policies and theories. They can work untrammeled for cooperation between nations.
We would call to Mr. Macy’s attention what women have done in the past for peace.
In 1870, Julia Ward Howe, roused by the tragedy of the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, made an international appeal to the “mothers of mankind” to “interfere in these matters to prevent the waste of human life” and to unite the women of the world in a peace crusade. Unfortunate¬ ly, women, were not allowed at that time to speak at peace conferences, and she was not able to rouse many women to her cause. Still the clarion call had gone forth; women were waking up.
In 1888, the International Council of Women was formed, and this organization included a special peace department. Other organizations, when formed, such as the W. C. T. U. and the Y. W. C. A., also included a special peace department.
Twenty-seven years went by. The World War was a year old when Jane Addams and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt organized the Women’s Peace Party. In this, twelve countries, enemy and neutral, were repre¬ sented. This congress appealed to the nations of the world to end that which was destroying the morale of the nations, and to create a safer and better civilization. It met again at the close of the war in the same town and at the same time as the Congress of Powers that framed the peace treaty. It is interesting to note that at this meeting were foreshadowed many important decisions of the Peace Conference such as the establish¬ ment of a permanent international court of justice, the submission of dis¬ putes to conciliation and arbitration, and the establishment of a committee for the settlement of international affairs.
It would seem that the constructive mind for peace was neither mas¬ culine nor feminine, but was both.
Nowadays women are very active in the League of Nations, the great¬ est peace organization in the world. All women delegates have been leaders
MALDONIAN 1934
in women’s organizations in their countries, and the majority have taken an active part in peace work. They have as yet, however, to be appointed as full delegates to the League. They serve on all the committees except the Committee on Disarmament, where they could really accomplish the most for peace.
For the last few years in our own country, the women, especially in California and the west, have been ardent workers for the League of Nations. But the Hearst Press, the educator of the masses, the subtle and forceful ally of the munition makers, is a powerful opponent. The women must fight more strenuously against the evil influence of the press.
The Woman’s Peace Party was asked not long ago : “Are women in¬ fluential in international affairs?” The Party replied, “Women are not in international affairs.” By international affairs we mean affairs dealing with world peace. The statement of the Peace Party is false because one by one the great women’s organizations are making international affairs their major interest. They are the greatest factor in educating the people for world peace. Some organizations such as the Women’s Peace Union and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom have been wholly in the interest of world peace. Through these organizations women can establish friendly relations of the world. They can build up a lobby in Congress, such as all the great industries of our country have. Through this they can secure the passing of measures that will insure lasting peace for the nation!
My appeal to women is to unite and mass their efforts against the greatest enemies of peace, the munition-makers and the Hearst Press! I call upon them, by an intelligent use of their freedom, and through their influential organizations, to fight to their last breath to gain universal and everlasting peace. Let every American woman carry in her heart the inspiring words of Selma Sagerlof,
“As long as my tongue can utter a word,
As long as blood flows in my veins,
I shall work for the sake of peace,
Though it cost me my life and happiness.”

Mr. Jenkins, Members of Faculty, and Classmates:
At last I have the opportunity for which I have been struggling the last three years, that is, to ad¬ dress you vehemently, forcefully, and loudly, if not intelligently, from the traditional soap box in the traditional partisan manner. Today I wish to tell you that we have waited too long; we have been day dreaming of a Utopia long enough ; the time has come for action ! Let us rise up and demand that those wrongs which we have suffered be eradicated. The time has come for revolt! Now, you may ask, what is there to revolt against?
The first thing we can rebel against is Mr. Jenkins’ stride. For three years we have pacifically watched our principal walk the corridors, placing one foot about ten yards ahead of the other at each step. Are you going to put up with this monstrous exhibition? The time has come to demand that Mr. Jenkins take chicken steps, and that his stride be not more than two inches long. If our demand is not acceded to, it is a worthy cause for united action on the part of the student body.
Classmates, after three years in High School we have all learned that it is good policy to laugh whenever a teacher jokes. As a rule, we have found this axiom easy to follow because the teacher is usually the first to laugh. But, my friends, there is one member of the faculty who insists upon keeping a straight face when he tells a “funny” story, and, as a result, all the Physics’ students are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, worry¬ ing for fear they will either laugh at the wrong time or not laugh at all when our professor waxes humorous. Mr. Perry, we demand that hence¬ forth you smile, at least, when you pun. We of the Student body have put up with this gross injustice many nerve-racking months, and, for the sake of posterity, we ask that you laugh in your less serious moments.
For a further cause of agitation, I turn to our building itself. Here we find plenty of material for a reformer. Malden capitalists waste Malden’s taxes on such magnificent buildings as the City Hall, whereas we suffer in the High School. What a decrepit piece of architecture! More pupils have tumbled down the stairs than walked down. The ceiling in Room 214 is liable to fall and leave heaps of floundering students in its dust. The ventilation in the hall is like that of a circus tent on a hot July afternoon. We have to sniff the odors which come from the chemistry and cooking rooms without remonstrance.
Further encroachments of our rights appear in the facts that we have Class Day at Night, that the school cafeteria — isn’t, and that we can’t sing popular songs in assemblies. How much greater musical appreciation we could derive from “Flying Down to Rio” than from “The Bridal Chorus.”
We haven’t done anything about these matters. We haven’t even questioned the school committee.
MALDONIAN 1934
During our whole school career we have not had a school paper. Half of the student body has never known how the other half lives. We have a rifle team comparable with the best in the country, yet, I am sure, few in the class could name the members of the team, or know its exceptional record. We have a state champion track team, yet most of us don’t even know the name of the coach, while we learn of the team’s victories from friends in neighboring schools. We have members of our class winning high honors in oratory and other extra-curricula activities, yet there is no paper to inform us, who are most interested, of these facts. In short, we are probably members of the best High School in the country, and don’t even know it! Is it our fault that we haven’t a paper? It is not, it is the fault of the faculty — the seniors are never at fault.
At this point, I stop to wonder if there is any historical value in pea¬ nuts. If not, why is it that a certain history teacher should have such a hunger for the delicacy? Now we do not begrudge a famished faculty- member nourishment, but we do feel that we have cause for complaint when a history teacher not only deprives her students of the peanut vita¬ min but takes for herself its great food value.
Now the question may arise, are we as a class powerful enough to do anything about such a deplorable situation? Can the senior class correct the foibles of its faculty? Who is there here who will say it can’t be done? Can it be said that the class which boasted a famous rifle team, a champion track team, a winning football team, and the best gum chewer in High School competition, is afraid to assert itself? No, we are powerful and persevering. We have had many contests within the school which have proven our perseverance. The one, however, which was most generally known was between two of our football players. When Tom Reid and Joe Kelly entered High School three years ago, each boasted that he would take home fewer books than the other during his High School career. Finally they made a gentleman’s wager, the one who took home the fewer books would win. For the first two years it was a scoreless tie, neither taking home any books. Competition was growing very keen. For six (6) months in the third year it was still a scoreless tie. Finally, Kelly, anxious to win, hit upon an excellent scheme by which the bet would fall his way. He tore a page out of Reid’s algebra book, and slipped it in Reid’s pocket. Thus, ignorant of his disgrace, Tom walked home with a part of a book, losing the wager. Are members of our class persevering?
Now I have shown you ample reason for revolt. Mr. Jenkins’ stride, Mr. Perry’s implacable countenance, the History Teacher’s peanut craze, and the lack of a school paper. What more reasons could one demand? I have also shown you that we have the ability, to act. Therefore, why do we wait? Why not rise up and demand that our troubles be ended once for all? I’ll tell you why; we’re waiting for graduation so we won’t have to worry about the consequences.
However, classmates, do not despair of the future. It has its brighter side. Even if more people do not tumble down the stairs than walk down, even if the ceiling in 214 isn’t what it should be, even if we haven’t any school cafeteria, the fact remains that we have the finest faculty, school standing, and senior class in the country. ( Wilbur Stanton enters in a police uniform and starts dragging the orator out by his neck) Therefore, Malden High is the best High School anywhere. Modesty was never one of our failings.
“THE PIONEER”
(EIush history
Beatrice Anteen
History in so far as we are concerned began with the advent of man. We are men, therefore history began with us. On an ominous, dark day in September, 1931 (Oh shades of Cassandra) we, the most intelligent group of Sophomores ever to enter Malden High, with all the wisdoms of count¬ less generations behind us, fearlessly knocked on the portals of that great institution. The fact that Mr. Jenkins, not recognizing our importance, did not hasten to open the doors personally, was not enough to lessen our optimism and self-confidence. We opened the doors ourselves and walked in.
Although many unrecognized geniuses among us condescended to sit in the “peanut gallery” and many were assigned third floor home rooms, we didn’t mind — we rather liked looking down on others. The only grievance that some of us had was that we weren’t on the fourth floor with the four hundred.
We, quickly organized, decided to hitch our respective geniuses to four stars. Therefore we elected Thomas Reid, president; Helen Rams- dell, vice-president; Genevieve Bassett, secretary; and Walter Callahan, treasurer, to honk the horn and lead us during our Sophomore year while we did the back-seat driving.
While we were Sophomores we held an Opportunity Show in which we had a “Wedding Rehearsal” (opportunity knocks but once). Singing, dancing, and whistling rounded out the program. We mentally voted Daniel Hirsh, in the role and costume of a sissified boy, a pair of beribboned garters, to grace the nobbiest knees ever seen on a M. H. S. Stage.
The following November, to celebrate our return to the sheep-fold, we held a Junior Party. Mr. Jenkins, in the receiving line, made peace with so many of us that for a week afterwards he had to keep his right hand in his pocket, where it could regain its strength. An amusing skit, “Station YYYY,” was presented — we still don’t know why ; refreshments were con¬ sumed by gaunt, ever-ra venous students ; and after it seemed that we were going to hear a concert instead of dancing to the music, a few bashful swains invited us to martyr ourselves by dancing with them. The party ended at eleven-thirty. A long line of anxious mothers was patrolling the street. We were driven home in handsome carriages.
Next, we smug Juniors deigned to invite outsiders to attend our ex¬ ceptionally well-acted play, “Gappy Ricks”. Although it was raining the evening of the performance, Jacob Gordon, as Cappy Ricks, reigned supreme. We heard that the coach had a few anxious moments maneuver¬ ing the characters on the stage among the buckets, but as those in the play were sea-farin’ folk, they didn’t mind a little spray. And let us not
MALDONIAN 1934
forget the homage due to the play’s unsung heroes — the “prop” men, who held up the scenery while Henry Huyffer slammed the doors. Too, a necessary part of the Junior Play were Henry’s black and white shoes, size twelve. Long and patiently did he seek these dainty shoesies via the bulletin route until some noble soul opened his strong box and loaned these trea¬ sured rarities. Because “Cappy” was not bald, Jane Shute, as his daughter, used the plea, “Aw, now, poppsie” instead of kissing his bald pate — and did it work!
Our next social affair was the Senior Reception, which, in spite of Mr. Matthews’ vigilance, was attended by a wealth of “pest-graduates”. How¬ ever, if we did not succeed in keeping the affair exclusive, we did follow the old maxim, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, and everyone kept an eagle eye on the ice cream. In an original skit, William Claff and Robert Gordon gave their best, even to the extent of chewing big, black cigars (were they sick!) in order to amuse the very artistically- sensitive audience. The audience was so appreciative that at the end the curtain was drawn immediately to prevent the actors from being showered with too many gifts. Then everyone rose in a body and staged a Home¬ stead-rush sequel to reach the ice cream. Theron Henderson, aided by the refreshment committee, defended the ice-cream as the juniors charged, under the leadership of Thomas Reid. At first, unconditional surrender was demanded. Then ’tis said, they agreed to split the spoils. No one seems to know what they did do, but it is a significant fact that no ice¬ cream was left at the end of the party.
In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to what the woman has been thinking about all winter. Therefore an Assembly was called to inform us of Miss Perkins’ excellent suggestion that we sponsor an operetta the following year. Questions were asked by the class — ever athirst for knowledge. Some illustrious members were so popular that they could not speak above the applause. As a result, class activities were suspended until the Powers That Be were satisfied that nothing malicious or dis¬ courteous was intended.
Summer! Then Indian Summer days and we smoked the peace pipe.
September saw us back at school, electing new officers. Theron Hen¬ derson became president; Priscilla Fall, vice president; Genevieve Bassett, secretary; and Norman Bayes, treasurer. By this time we had learned that we didn’t know so much after all, so we took to drinking — black coffee — and studying. We kept this up until February when our “mid¬ night oil supply” ran out and the Winter Outing beckoned.
We went by snow-train to North Conway, N. H., on our outing. North Conway is a bump in the mountains where depression is apparently an obsolete word — they still charge Ritz prices. When we arrived, almost everyone went tobogganing. The first toboggan going down the hill resembled a snow plow — the president leading as usual. When he was pulled out of the snow, he had no statement to make. Many were the pain¬ ful detours taken on toboggans. Marion Irving wrapped herself into a lover’s knot around a tree, and I, behind her, had to “shinny up” for my hat. In a hockey game with the Village Wonders, Malden lost, but that was all right — we suspected all along that Eddie Shore was on their team. Skiing and snowshoeing were enjoyed by airplane enthusiasts and some venturesome seniors even took a sleigh ride— there was no Santa Claus; they walked back. On their account the train was delayed exactly 3.009 minutes — the engineer set his watch back to satisfy his conscience. We
“THE PIONEER”
had the train follow the orange peels on the homeward journey and after we saw Audrey James given a free orange-juice facial by that famous beauty authority, William Claff, we went to Harlem (some train) to eat. When we returned to our former seats, the lights were thoughtfully dim¬ med by one of our members so that we could rest our eyes and prevent strain. However, we were shown the errors of our ways by the conductor, who pointed out the danger of broken limbs due to faulty lighting. We arrived in Malden at exactly 8 p. m. and I am pleased to announce here that “the captain who was lost staggering down the stairs” was found on the way home. We shall never forget that outing — there wasn’t a single bottle of liniment to be begged, borrowed, or stolen in Malden the next day.
Then Fred Ray began his campaign of “You Ought to be in Pictures” so we all took pictures at Whitman’s, and sent them to Hollywood — we are still waiting!
Nor can we forget the baseball players of this class who were of unusual calibre, for they shone not only on the diamond but scholastically also. (“Birds of a feather, flock together,” Mr. McGeoch.) Of one player in the first quarter of the class a masculine sport devotee on the faculty boasted that he had stolen six bases this season, and was caught stealing 3 more, whereupon a feminine member of the Brain Trust piped up, “If he steals bases, certainly that will finish him, if he is to be considered as a prospective member of the Honor Society, won’t it?” Will it!?
“Crown it once more.” We had a State Championship Track Team this year. Never before in M. H. S. Annals was recorded four dual-meet victories and three interscholastic victories in one season. However, we wonder if, after “Batch’s” famous turkey spread, they could have won a potato race with a ten-mile handicap.
And our Championship Rifle Team! I’ll probably be shot for telling this, but when I asked one “Tansy” of our class, “Do you know anything about the rifle team?”, he, with his customary quickness, answered, “Yes, they shoot guns.” But, from the number of cups and medals they have won, we can see that they not only shoot guns but they hit targets.
We also look back with pride on the splendid football records made by some of our classmates. We ask Coach McGuirk but one thing — “Won’t you please put your sister in the line-up, so that we can wallop Haverhill?” “Aw, coach, must I take five laps?”
May brought H. M. S. Pinafore! We understand that one “naive” member of the faculty believed that H. M. S. was really M. H. S. with the letters mischievously transposed. This operetta so jammed the hall for two nights that many would-be spectators brought stilts and step ladders to see the performance. “Gen” Bassett as Josephine still has all Malden praising her. “Refrain, audacious tar” is now a favorite “stop-signal”. Albert Clark, Richard Pitman, and Gertrude Zang were outstanding, and for humor we had Robert Gordon, Patricia McCoy, and Roger Walker, who gave top-notch performances. We Seniors all felt so concerned about Pinafore participants ! Why, every time that Robert Gordon sneezed after taking snuff (in the operetta) some solicitous person in the audience shouted “Gesundheit.” Music was even placed before school work — Mr. Jenkins allowed participants to skip two assignments daily. Masters, teachers, and pupils are all alike in one respect — “Music makes us do the things we never should do!”
But now that the rush and bustle of the operetta is past, we dream of graduation, a final “God bless you” — and Want Ad columns.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience. This is Jane Shute broadcasting from the lobby of the Acacia Hotel, in Washing¬ ton, D. C. under the management of Samuel Reinherz and Howard Spragg. This is the morning of the inauguration of the 36th president of the United States in the year 1957, 23 years after the class of 1934 were exited from Malden High. By the way, I might add that this is the first time in history that a President follows a President from the same town.
I must tell you that the beautiful Movie Star, Eunice Shear, and her understudy, Beatrice Schwabauer, have just arrived at the Hotel. Our bellhops, Henry Ruvido and George Ratska, are killing themselves trying to carry her bags. Even our assistant manager, Johnnie Ryan, is falling over his feet trying to reach her first. Talking of stage celebrities, Molly Singer, who has been dancing in Danny Shea’s scandals, and her best friends, Rose and Alice Singer, who are appearing in the same act, are here. Edwin Starr’s Stock Company checked in an hour ago. He is put¬ ting on a play entitled “S. 0. S.” written by that famous playwright, Sophie Senders, with Muriel Renkert taking the leading role. Other charac¬ ters are played by Ruth Schwartz, Barbara Pollock, and Esther Pomerantz.
We were greatly honored today when the Mayor of Boston, Sumner Sherman, checked in with a bag of wind. I guess the depression must be over, because councilmen Bob Sheehan and Isaac Shooster came with him, either that, or the Boston treasury must be flushed. Along with the Mayor came three immensely rich members of Boston Society, Annie Silverman, Bertha Rosen, and Theodora Rinaldi.
The desk clerk, Bernard Brustin, just informed me that several more former residents of Malden have come in. Let’s see if we remember any. Yes, here’s Wilbur Stanton, the greatest prune grower in California. Can you imagine him pruning among the prunes? And there’s Edward Shef¬ field who grows peaches in Florida. Well, that’s the only kind of peaches he’ll let himself in for. If there isn’t the once Irene Skoropowski ! You know she taught English at Malden High, but is now very busy teaching her little son to pronounce his “ings”. Who would have thought Kenneth Potts would take up wrestling! He says he is ex-champion of the world, but I think he’s trying to kid us. The next name on the register is Leon Satenstein, who made his money selling peanuts to pigeon feeders on Boston Common. You all remember Thomas Reid? He invented a talking

machine that talked so much that his wife had to keep quiet; she became so peeved that she sued for separate support. The judge, Jack Pizer, had a wife himself, so he granted the plea and bought the machine, to use in his own home.
This is an item of news brought in by Ralph Rose, reporter for the Casewell and Rowley paper. It seems John Queally, a retired millionaire, checked in yesterday. He brought with him Mrs. Queally, also his secre¬ tary, James Rosenfield. His wife couldn’t leave behind her poodle dog, so a gentleman named Arthur Kierstead is here to look after it. Arthur was taking the poodle for a walk when he saw Mary Saperstein, one of Boston’s Elite, and started down the street after her. The doggie tried to bite Arthur and he became so frightened that the little poodle got away. Sidney Shafer, who has been teaching classical dancing here in Washing¬ ton, nearly got mashed crawling under a truck trying to rescue the dog. The hero, Frank Danca, who assists Sidney at his dancing school, came along just in time, stopped a fire-engine and an ambulance and held up all the traffic until Sid could squeeze under the truck to save the poor poodle. The crowd applauded wildly as the former Elsie Potter, who is now married to a prominent Baltimore society man, threw the corsage of violets she was wearing. It happened to be a gift from Eddie Rodman, crooning publicity man. He was angry and made quite a scene. Lieut. Salvatore Santonelli happened along in time to break up the trouble and started traffic again. Ethel Sirota and Dorothy Steele, secretaries in the treasury building, lost their hats. That was the only damage reported.
The radio singer, Wanda Spakoski, is in her room here at the hotel. She was to sing at 12 today, but lost her voice. We hear she intends to sue Dr. Theodore Rubin because he couldn’t find it for her. Catherine Perry will take her place singing a composition by Ida Portman, “That Old Class of Mine.”
I wish to remind you folks not to forget the floor show at: the Hotel Acacia Cafe. We have an act from Walter Sostek’s Vanities. The stars are Esther Simonds, 42nd Street Torch Singer, Hyman Shaker, comic im¬ personator, and last, but not least, the famous sister team Elizabeth and Esther Smith, in an acrobatic dance.
Sorry folks, but my time is up. I’ll have to sign olf now, but later in the day another of our famous announcers will continue the description of this memorable day.

II. PARADE
We are now on board the airplane “Vacuum Cleaner” which picks up all the dirt. Let us fly over Washington and cover the parade which will start in a little while. You know, they say it’s a small world and we may see somebody we know.
Well, here we are at the start of the parade. I’ll fly around and see what’s what. Hold everything! Do you see that Drum Major? Why it’s no one else but William Ogle, and see how straight and tall he’s standing — why he’s on stilts — a drum major on stilts! Well, he surely worked him¬ self up in this world. Look who are in the band ! Malden High’s pupils of gone by days, Joseph Sullivan, William Svenson, Fred Walsh, and Nor¬ man Williamson. Keith Smith’s Musical Academy certainly did some fast work with these boys.
I’ll step on the gas and get past the band in order to see the people who are parading. Here we find Colonel Sam Pavitt leading a battalion of soldiers; and I think I see somebody else I know among them. Yes, that’s right — it’s Joe Tortora and around him are Walter Wright, John Sullivan, and Donald Stockelburg. But, look at the parade following: We must doff our hats to the step-fathers of our country, our politicians;
and — who’d a thunk it— look ! - here’s the ambassador to England — the
greatest diplomat known, His Excellency Henry Thompson who is now spending that much talked of fortune in crossings between London and The States. Hank is riding in a limousine driven by little William Pagum who is now tall enough to peek through the windshield, and the car is donated by Harold Thurston who rose up in this world after mixing nitro-glycerine in a chemistry laboratory. The next car is conveying Payson Milliken (Junior), Clifford Strand, and William Mowat, three strong figures in this country since they have been eating garlic at Mildred Velleman’s restaurants in Malden Square, New York, and Chicago. Ah, but it’s a great day for South Burlap, Kentucky ! Its Mayor, Frank Oliver, its aldermen Richard Winchell, Robert Woods, Arnold Stevens, John Nugent, and John Moore; and its local barberess and beautician, Bessie Norman, are the town’s representatives. Bessie is the world’s noted trim¬ mer of hair; in fact, she started trimming at Malden High. Here is some¬ thing to write home about; — Edward I. Tesler, the great engineer who built the bridge between Malden and Revere, has stuck his finger in the great political pie, and he is now riding in an auto designed by himself. But wait! A figure is seen to dash across the street, paper and pencil in hand, shouting to Tesler to wait. Oh, you might have known it; it is Saul Parkin, the star reporter of the “Oskwash Volcano”, and he wants to interview some of the congressmen. Oh woe is he! An auto has just hit him. Don’t worry, Saul, Doctor Paul Norman will set your ribs and you will be up again in a few weeks. Yes, Paul is a great surgeon too — he operated on a patient’s leg last year and that patient is learning to walk on a wooden one very well now. Strike up the band! Here come Wash¬ ington’s finest — the policemen, led by Chief Charles MacNulty, and Captain Fred Guianquitto, with their strong force of John Pappo, Edmund O’Rourke, Alphonsus Odoardi, Edmund Wheeler, Philip Wilson, and Henry Wright. This force is so powerful, that last week it actually saved Isabelle Wolk’s trained canary from drowning in a cup of cold water. Yes, siree, the arm of the law is ever-grasping. Oh, how unfortunate! Here come four congressmen who are actually walking. Yes, it seems that Otto Wachenhusen, Charles Walker, Wendell Abele, and William Morrison couldn’t get enough graft money to buy a car. Too bad, too bad, I feel miserable for them! Ah, here come the smoke eaters, the prize firemen of this fair city with Frederick Murphy at their head and Charles Uloth
“THE PIONEER”
at their feet. They are followed by Emmett Whalen, John Walsh, William Winship, Roger Woodcock, and Elton Thresher. They are marching in step to Anna Perna and Dorothy and Helen Kelley’s Y. W. C. A. Drum Corps. I hear the melodies of Charlie Morrison’s flute. Charlie wanted to be an aviator, but, after going up once, he decided that High “E” on his flute was the highest he would care to go. Here comes the float of fair political boosters. Yes, after Petite Miss Juliet Pass had become a school teacher and decided to be one of the feminine fathers of her country, she persuaded several others of her old classmates to join her. Among them are Harriet Towner, who is now the proprietress of the largest dress shop of New York, Phyllis Thompson, who is Juliet’s private secretary, and Pearl Weiner, who is now teaching history, the subject she loved so well in Malden High. I hear funny noises. Maybe it’s the plane. No. The worst has arrived. Claire Mooers is leading a chorus comprised of Ruth Newton, Gertrude Pentheny, Anna Mundy, and Cora Park. I re¬ member Claire back in Malden High, and I think that she should have gone through with her ambition of being an art designer rather than a competitor of an off-pitch saxophone. Ah, but it is a wonderful thing to see the spectacle approaching. General Ralph Worth of the United States Marines and Admiral Roger Walker of the United States Navy have united their forces and are parading past the grandstand. Look who are in the ranks — Vincent Woods, Joseph Wyche, Abraham Yaffe, and Frank Young of the Marines, and Charles Thompson, Thomas Tefft, Louis Mutch, and Philip Nelson in navy blue. They are in their best regalia; and how they look!
There is nothing like a good parade to enable many people to peddle their wares among the crowd. I almost fell out of the cockpit when I saw Julius Swartz, the great third baseman of the Suffolk Bushwackers, selling autographed baseballs. Ah, if only Julius had listened to Samuel Winer- man, the present M. H. S. athletic coach, who has plenty of financial ability. Sam wanted to give Julius a job collecting tickets at the Field, but Julius could not see through the idea of becoming a school teacher; so here he is. Did you ever think Felix Weiner, the man who wanted to become a surgeon, would ever turn out to be a chemist and invent a meltless ice¬ cream? He has organized a company consisting of David Walsh, official taster and indigestion expert, and Vera Watson, who is Felix’s very pri¬ vate secretary. Felix has put his delicacy on the market and has hired the fashionable matrons, the former Sarah Tabasky, Madeline Taffae, and Lois Taylor to convince the crowd that the right thing to do is to eat Weiner’s Meltless Ice Cream in Always Krisp Kones, manufactured at the home plant in Malden by Beatrice Nager and Thelma Mendell, two attractive spinsters, who decided that stenography work in an office was too unexciting for them. Would you ever have thought that Eric Nose¬ worthy, the manager of the Boston Braves, would be selling books on “Eloquence” to the congressmen? These books were written by Bernice Miller and published by Fay Koretsky and Rose Weiner, most successful publishers.
Hold everything! I became so engrossed with the venders, that I almost lost the parade. Ah! There is the march; it is going through the business section now. I wish you could see Washington’s tallest building. It is owned by Carl Nelson, the once steel magnate but now great stage performer noted throughout the world for his spectacular dancing. Of course Carl hasn’t time to manage the building, so he has hired Phillip Zillman to take charge for him. There are ever so many offices in the building and by the signs in the windows, I see many are rented by people I know. There are the words, Faye Nager and Company, Employment
MALDONIAN 1934
Agency for Stenographers. You know, of course, that Faye is married to a certain prominent business man, and besides doing her house work, she supervises this office which is managed by the competent Ruth Stickney. I understand that Ruth has hired Evelyn Morgan, Eleanor Wallace, and Sarah Stone as personality women. Next door is a dramatic school with Ruth Greene as manager. Ruth bosses this school with the help of Ida Weinberg, Dorothy Weiner, Beatrice Zaitz, and Fanny Weiner; and during the summer, she hires Charles Hankinson, as the office blacksmith to shoo the flies. In an adjoining office is Gertrude Zang’s Correspondence School of Theatricals. Justine White, head of the French department of Malden High School, has enrolled in Gertrude’s school. The other day she played hookey — she sent in an envelope with a blank piece of paper. Next door we find the Personally Guided Tours, Inc. Greta Wenant, Nettie Wight, Jeanette Wilgoren, Inez Yarde, Marjorie Wolfram, Mary Molloy, and Margaret Morrow are the incorporators and guides of this, the largest touring company in the world. Elizabeth Stein and Marion Sullivan, rich society matrons, once went on one of the Company’s tours, but they came back disgusted, saying that some of the Europeans were very dumb, be¬ cause they could not speak a word of English. Watch out ! Whew, I almost hit the roof garden of the building. I was watching Muriel Bernstein, noted philosopher, who figured out that fifty per cent of the married people were women. On the roof I saw Mae Thunell watching the parade with Muriel. Mae, who is visiting Washington with Ruth Murphy, Agnes Newell, and Regina Mundo, was sent by the Margaret Ridley Studio of N. Y. C. I wonder are they artists, models, or photographers?
The parade is over now, and later on you will hear some very im¬ portant incidents in the grandstands by Frank Cushman, star reporter and announcer of this broadcasting company.
III.
Well, folks, here we are on the east wing of the Capitol building down here in Washington, D. C., ready to give you a description of the crowds and places of interest at this, the 36th inauguration of the President of the U.S.A. The stands are crammed to the gills, folks, and all the who’s who of the nation is at hand. It’s the first time in the history of this country that two classmates have been President in succession, but with graduates of Malden High School, anything can happen !
By my side is the famous correspondent of the World Wide Agency, Jack Gordon, who will, in his own matchless way, send this description all over the globe. He has, as his aids, his famous corps of stenographers, Gertie Haber, Betty Hanley, Dot Davidson, Gertie Kaslick, and Eleanor Hughes. How he picks ’em !
Down there below me is that theatrical group known the world over, Freddy Johnson, that Harlem Jazz Master, the Cab Calloway of today, Horace Cutler, that insipid comedian; and Margie De Avilla, his side kick who’s always kicking; Danny Hirsh and Eleanor Hilliard; and those two famous Broadway beauties, Dot Judge and Gertie Kaufman. Wait a minute folks, there’s Hetsy Gordon the famous aeronautical engineer up over head with Beatie Gould in a plane of his own design. Oops! A wing just fell off. Well, Washington Monument is one thing he can’t hurdle, especially with Beatie.
Hi, Shirley! Folks, that was Shirley Fingold, whom many of you radio fans know as the Voice of Inexperience. Sorry she was in such a hurry or she would have stopped to say a few hundred words. Hold your hats, people! Here’s the big wind of Washington, Speaker of the House, Fred Ray, and his long winded colleagues, Fred Jones, Joe Holzberg, Robert Frederick, and John McCarthy. Sitting close at hand is the hospital
“THE PIONEER”
corps with Dr. Nathan Hakman and Nurses Jennie Haber, Madelaine Crosby and Grace Jivelekian ready to revive any one from the Senatorial gas, since such cases are frequent when these learned gentlemen are near. Talking about cases, you can get anything but measles at Johnnie Hawes’ new department store where Marion Hanson, Alice Jackson, Annie Healy, Eva Hershberg, and Marjorie Gardner are taking orders from him. By the way, there’s Johnnie down there now with a brand new haircut.
Right down beside me is part of the Washington 400, those 4 famous society women, Marion Irving, Dorothy Kay, Audrey James and Gladys Kaulback, and with them is Hazel Lindahl, that society news writer for Vogue Magazine. There are those three “Men about town,” Walter Higgin¬ botham, Eddie Simons and Tom Buckley; and by the looks of their hair, they must have just had their oil changed.
Here’s the party from the President-elect’s home town, Malden, Mass., Mayor Abe Goodman and his staff, known all over the country as the Cod¬ fish Tammany, Bernard Brustin, Arthur Kriensky, Nathan Greenbaum, Hyman Goldberg, and the city architect, Donald Getchell. Circulating thru the stands is the party from the Women’s Temperance Union sampling all pop bottles. There’s Sadie Hershman, Esther and Jennie Gordon, Mary Greenberg, and Alice Johnston.
What’s that howling I hear? Is it the call of the wild? No. Those are the wolves of Wall Street, the house of Halpern, Hyde and Kaufman, Bankers. If you have any loose change, folks, hold your pockets ! Coming up now is the power behind the throne, the brain trust from N.Y.U., Arnold James, Professor of Poetry and Spelling, and his staff, Raymond Godbout, Sadie Goldfarb, Laura Hussey, Josephine Guido, Claude Graham of Gra¬ ham Cracker fame, and Ray Williamson, of the Maplewood Williamsons.
Just sitting down there is that scion of the famous millionaire Hen¬ dersons, Theron, with his pal and bodyguard, Paul LaFreniere; you never see one without the other. A little way down the avenue is that famous finishing school for girls, run by Eleanor Gramstorff, Marguerite Gleits- man, Myrtle Goodfellow, and Rose Golomb. If they can’t finish ’em, no one ever will. Over there is that little business genius, Ida Greenspane, and her three assistants, Nettie Groman, Rose Greene, and Katherine Harris; and talking with them on all sixteen cylinders is the owner of the law firm of Everett Gillette and Co. Just getting in at the last minute is that famous group of doughnut manufacturers, Johnson, Johnson, and Johnson, Helena, Irving, and Svea, makers of the porous doughnut for dunking, as well as the doughnut with the removable hole. Well folks, my time is almost up, but before signing off I want to say that the delegation of Arizona cowboys, whom everybody has been expecting, has just arrived. Let’s see. Why, there’s Johnnie Griffin, Steve Hopkins, and Irving Hunter, and close behind is, last but not least, that famous artist cowboy, Georgie Innis.
Wait a minute folks, one minute please! I think the President-elect is coming in now. Yes, here he is!!! President-elect Sumner Kalin, with Secretary of Agriculture Norman Hadley. Walking by his side are those two women politicians, Ellen Hanley, and Cecelia Hughes. Following them is Chief Justice Robert Magnuson and out-going President Leo Kahn. Next is the out-going Vice President Charles Gilgun and his successor, Vice President-elect Arlette Lawrence with Secretary of War Gertie Glaser, Secretary of Interior Thelma Kurinsky, Secretary of Commerce Sydney Levin, and Postmaster General Walter Lindgren.
Olive McHugh and Charlie Callahan, Representatives from Idaho, are close at hand with their secretaries, Ruth Bronstein, Leonice Amabile, Hazel Stanley, and Rita Regan. Following them are six judges from the
MALDONIAN 1934
Supreme Court. Let’s see. There’s Jimmy Buckley, Eugene Kish, Teddy Rosdahl, Johnnie Mahon, Francis Lordon, and Johnnie Koocherook. There are the Republican party leaders coming in now, John Callahan, Bill Burke, Joe Cahill, and Bob Caffarella. Well folks, Chief Justice Magnuson is
going to administer the oath of office; there he goes, . and we have
a new President, folks, Sumner Kalin, 36th President of the United States.
Well, folks, my time is up now, so I guess I'll have to sign off until later in the afternoon, when we will bring you Marguerite Hayes, famous woman writer of Harper’s who will broadcast a sight-seeing tour from all over Washington.
IV.
I have just returned from a tour of our capital City, Washington, and believe me, I have plenty of news to give you.
There was a special matinee performance at the new opera house featuring the beloved operatic star, Genevieve Bassett, who was ably sup¬ ported by such celebrities as Olive Bradbury, Rose Caffarella, Ida Bigwood and Pauline Brady. A crowd surrounded the box-office. There I saw the musical critic and talented singer, Elizabeth Thresher; the star columnist of the “World”, Carol Bent; and Helen Berman, the director of the “Holly¬ wood Picture Co.”, looking for new stars from the Broadway hits.
A short distance from the Opera House I ran across the “School of Pupil Technique”. Instruction there enables the pupils to understand more thoroughly their teachers, and to avoid afternoon sessions. It is com¬ petently managed by Billy Dowd and Joe Bartlett.
The stores were being well patronized. The visitors were eagerly shopping and seemed willing to be persuaded to buy (not much like the depression of ’34) . The bargain counter of Carroll, Carroll, and Carroll was completely surrounded. Of course you know that Alfred, Howard, and Walter have gone into business together. Here in the mob I saw three perfect school-marms, Anna Bulman, Edna Bunnell, and Betty Chamber- lain. They were trying to purchase the one and only Carrol Vanity Case. (Don’t use them in the classrooms, girls!)
In another section of this store, Helen Carter was trying to explain sweetly to Norman Bayes that Arietta LaPonsie would appreciate an over¬ night case instead of Doctor Elliot’s Five Foot Shelf.
Imagine whom I found in the Beauty Salon, the Blesofsky twins, Marion and Dorothy, demonstrating their so-called invention, “Wave-at- Home Permanent Waver.” It is manufactured by their partners, Ruth Blennerhasset and Florence Booth, who manage the Malden Plant.
You should have seen the “Austrum and Boyle Dress Salon”; Evelyn and Helen are married women who have turned to business this year. Pauline Butler, Beverly Allen, and Gertrude Casey are considered the “Salon’s” best customers.
Taking a bus to the hotel, I was surprised to see among the passengers, Doctors Thomas Brock and Henry Berg. They told me that Leonard An¬ derson was the owner of the bus line. Unfortunately, or rather fortunate¬ ly, the bus developed some trouble and had to be taken to a nearby garage. Imagine my surprise to find at the garage as manager, Ira Jivelekian, with Charles Baxter and Arthur Bayers as his assistants.
During the delay I ran across that old pal of yours, William Barstow. He is imitating Winchell on one of the local papers and certainly could give me the dirt of the town. Many of your old pals were in his press notices; some of those that he showed me included Adele Carey, the famous dancer who has won the hearts of a million theatre audiences; Walter Callahan, who had been offered a coaching job at the old Alma Mater; and Tom Buckley, who is one of the brain trusts of our great president. He
“THE PIONEER”
had just come from his paper where he had given his editor an extra, with the news that Lemuel Brimmer, the noted political boss, had claimed that the past president had “done him wrong”. He was on his way to the home of Joseph Cafarella, the noted fruit importer, who has, it is said cultivated a new fruit that he plans to call the “Andrew Mellon.” At the time he started to give me scandal, however, he saw Herbert Bruen rushing off ; he wanted to have Herb verify the fact that he had recently invented a machine for reading the minds of teachers. (This machine it is claimed, will greatly help students when test time comes) .
By this time, I had decided to take advantage of our bus mishap and entered a restaurant. The first person I met was Beatrice Anteen, the noted dramatic star. She was seated at a table with Linnea Anderson, the Dean of “The Elite Boarding School”, where Eleanor Buchanan holds the post of Physical Director. They were discussing their past classmates and I learned to my astonishment that Yolanda Bottaro, Evelyn Botto, and Edith Stavisky had taken up aviation and already had won recognition in this field. In contrast, Laurence Burnett and Kenneth Burke recently have achieved captaincies in the submarine service, while Donald Amirault has taken over command of the destroyer flotilla on the California coast. I learned that some of the staff of the high school, where we once toiled, was composed of 1934 graduates. Robert Carr had taken the place of Mr. Matthews as the distributor of those hated make-up hours, and James Bowman is the Economics teacher. Edward Bean, with his characteristic love for Mathematics, has accepted a post as Mathematics teacher.
After we finished our lunch, we found the bus completely repaired, and so we started off again. Isabelle Armstrong, Sylvia Bander, and Lottie Azoff, Philadelphia society matrons, boarded at the first stop. They were just returning from a tea at the home of Pauline Blake, the authoress, where Penelope Kostarelos and Kathleen Kelliher, the noted dieticians, had been giving lectures. Others present at the tea were Christine Plummer, the Congresswoman; Mildred Lundgren and Lillian Liverud, the stunning Parisian and American dress models; and Eva Swartz, the international swimming champion. Pauline informed me that Thelma Moller and “Bet¬ ty” Molloy, registered nurses, had just been transferred to Washington.
And so I arrived back at the hotel just in time to tell you of my ex¬ citing afternoon. I hope you liked it.
V. INAUGURAL BALL
Well, hello, folks, here I am at the Inaugural Ball, and did I have a hard time getting in? I’ll say I did! Lost my Press Pass, but my pal, that good old cop, “Red” McKinnon let me in. I don’t know how I managed to get by Doorman Gerald Callahan, but I did, and who did I bump into the minute I got in but my old rival on the New York News, that roving reporter, Tom Kenney? He told me that he’d just spotted the Olympic star, Phyllis Marshall, and the President of Midwestern Agricultural School, Joseph McBride. However, I was doing some spotting myself, so I rushed off to see who I could see. First off, I spied A1 Lamb, star orchestra leader, talking to that Washington Senator’s baseball coach, Joe Kelley. Flying up here to the balcony like a flash, I caught glimpses of Mary Mahoney and Virginia Mcllroy dancing with two good-looking gentlemen who I discov¬ ered were their husbands, Foreign Ambassadors at that ! 1 also saw Esther Lowenstein, the famous book reviewer, and her assistants, Eleanor Merritt and Matilda Klayman. You should have seen the Senator from Massa¬ chusetts, Bernard Perna, just as efficient as in the days of M. H. S. Oh, but look what’s over there, a magician entertaining a large audience. I can’t see who he is — oh, yes, yes I can. It’s Milton Lavers. I see Ruth Maglue, the dietician at the Malden Hospital, and with her her pal Vir-
MALDONIAN 1934
ginia Martin, raptly watching his antics. Quite a few of our social elite are interested, also. There’s Muriel Lerner, Doris Krinsky, and Mollie Krulee. Oh, and do I see some richly dressed Senator’s wives? Right I am ! There’s the former Ellen Lyons, Annie Sullivan, and Muriel Swimm. Whee ! Paris is here in the form of Edith Merrill and Ethel Maher, whose gorgeous gowns have been designed by the world famous Mademoiselle Elva LeMaire. Most of the corsages these beautiful ladies are wearing have come from the most popular Florist Shop here in Washington owned by Lorraine O’Loughlin. Did you know Florence Sullivan, a clerk at this shop, was the lady who arranged the floral decorations here tonight? Hmm, that woman looks familiar. Correct! It’s Blanche March, head of the Sargent School of Physical Education, dancing with the air-minded football coach “Red” McClorey. Hear that beautiful voice singing with A1 Lamb’s orchestra? It belongs to Frances Madden. She has quite an admiring group of mustached statesmen around her: Ernest Magnuson, John McAuley, as well as Edward Madden. Never would have thought they would come to this, back at Malden High School. Oh, oh, there’s a whole galaxy of Congressmen, Ambassadors, and what have you, with their wives, entering the room. I spy among them Paul McAuliffe, Norman Nelson, Charles Upham, with Virginia Weldon, Doris Locke, and Helen Knox. Oh, ladies, here’s a dress that would knock your eye out if you only could see it, and who’s got it on but that famous society light, Edna Kellar. Who’s that near her? It’s that world famous athlete Bob Lowery, still ex¬ celling with well dressed ladies. There’s a lovely duet, hear it? The popu¬ lar Lombardi sisters, Ida and Elizabeth, are the singers.
There are quite a few people up here in the balcony observing the colorful scene below. By being a rubber neck I can manage to spy Grace Kennedy, who’s quite a warbler herself over the air waves, as well as Alice Mehos with — I should have guessed it — Ruth Mabey. I remember them back at the football games cheering for good old Malden High. By the way, I hear our Alma Mater has a few new teachers, namely William McNaught, Fred Wood, and William McGrath. Pupils must be having a grand time! There’s Thelma Kerr on the arm of her husband, an ex¬ football player. Who’s in that crowd behind her? Oh, yes, I discern Mildred Krasner, Harriet Maclver, Hilda Kissell, Ellen May, Esther Lurie, and Philip McGranahan, social workers who are seen frequently around the city here. The popular society leader, Marguerite Lewis, hasn’t stop¬ ped dancing since she arrived! Who’s she with now? Oh, it’s Eric Lind- blade, the so popular movie star, without Virginia Roberts, the great pianist. My, my! ! Lillian Lurie, secretary to Robert Schofield, the Presi¬ dent of the Malden Savings Bank, is here. Surprise, folks, here’s Dick Pitman, Great Opera Bass, who will render a number composed by Robert Killion. Oh, guess who I saw today? The famous Ringling Brothers’ clown, Leo Logue with the stilt walker, George McCleary, also from the circus. They were entertaining Flora LeBerg and Shirley Long, Latin teachers, as well as Lilia Pierce and Beryl Marshall from the Hollywood studios. Gosh, a lot of celebrities are here tonight. Here comes Edmund Trabucco, the World Champion Speed Typist. I notice Jimmie Rendle, Editor-in-Chief of the Washington Times, personally interviewing Marian Steeves, superintendent of the Whidden Memorial Hospital back in Everett, our old rival city. Rat a tat tat! Enter the Secretary of War, “Sarge” Edward Kirsh. Mademoiselles Levine, Gertrude and Esther, with Ruth Lutch are wandering around down there in their scintillating gowns. What a sight! No wonder, though; they own that exclusive gown shop on the avenue. By the way, I often see Helen McAuley, the fashion model, dis¬ playing the most beautiful gowns there. Many of the hats Anna Page
‘‘THE PIONEER”
models at that shop have been fashioned by that well-known Milliner, Elizabeth Weiner. Well, there goes the signal for my time, and I must buzz off now. Cheerio!
VI. HOTEL AFTER THE GRAND BALL
Well folks, here we are back again in the lobby of Washington’s best hotel waiting to see the country’s most socially prominent return after a strenuous day. Say, that bell hop over there looks familiar. Sure, it’s Greydon Copeland, paging that famous hot air expert, Thomas Cosgrove. Cosgrove, as you know, came in accompanied by those three social lions, Bob Daly, Irving Decatur, and Alvan Dow. They are said to be connected with Earl Conrad and Bob Clifford, joint owners of the Boston Braves who, by the way, have those famous Malden players Bob Desmond, Abe Kidder, and Philip Curtin on their team. Another Malden man in baseball is Jimmy Cruickshank, the famous American League umpire. Say, there’s Jimmy now, coming in with Gus Fournier, the movie shiek, and Bill Fitz¬ gerald, the old heart breaking crooner.
And look who’s following them, it’s Stan Crossman, the famous under¬ wear model. Well, here comes a messenger boy looking for Henry Denute, the Wall Street broker; why it’s Joseph De LaFuente. Say, there’s a pair of ex-Malden girls coming in, Dorothy Cleveland, the woman political leader, and Louise Cullen, star of the stage and screen, whose golden voice thrills the nation every Thursday evening over the program of Fratus and DeVere, manufacturers of ladies silk hosiery. What’s all that crowd over there? Why, there comes Dan Coffey, marathon runner, and Dick Ed¬ wards, America’s leading golfer, returning from the ball room. They are talking to someone but I can’t see who. Oh, it’s Russell Coatney, America’s dreamy poet, whom you all hear over the program of Cremer and Cooper- stein, makers of those better rugs invented by Spencer Dixon. With him are the other members of that program, Frances Dexter, pianist, and Rosalie Harrison, noted songstress.
By the way, there are Priscilla Fall and Ruth Ennice, those two famous society leaders, talking with Alva Doyle and Mary Duggan, well known in English society. Ah, here comes the hotel owner, Vincent DeAngelis, talking with the house detective, Leo Berger, and the hotel lawyer, Eliot Knowlton. Say, that Harvard accent out there sounds familiar: sure, it’s Bill Claff, the best known peanut vender in Washington. He’s selling pea¬ nuts to that eminent pool player, Russell Elwell. Did you know that Robert Anderson and Ralph Berardi have established a quite profitable business making colored bags for Bill’s peanuts?
Stand up and cheer, folks, here comes Boss Francis Duggan, and his group of Senatorial sculptors, chiselers to you, John Egan, Chester Elwell, Zella Fink, and Lena Fital. Well, folks, here comes a real thrill, that African hunter and famous bull thrower, Julian Edelson, followed by an admiring group of social leaders, Edith Clarke, Beatrice Cohen, Hazel Dean, Beatrice Cushman, and Denise Demers. They were present at the party of Sylvia Cohen and Gertrude Coles, Senatorial candidates, run at the Shirley Emmons Tea Room last evening. You know that tea room is getting to be quite popular. I was over there the other night and met none other than Gertrude Douglas, famous scientist, and her collaborator, Dor¬ othy Devaney. They’re now perfecting the special model rocket ship in¬ vented by James Egan.
Oh say, there comes Mary Finnegan, eminent war correspondent and world traveler who has just returned from interviewing Frederick Foley in his Paris laboratory, concerning his new theory of bugs. He has a famous pair of feminine scientists working with him, Jessie Donald and Mary Donovan, both graduates of Malden High. Say, there’s Jessie Donald
MALDONIAN 1934
now, talking with Anita Diamond, leading woman golfer of Australia. She came across last week on the S.S. City of Malden, captained by Thomas Feeley and piloted by Samuel Feingold. This ocean liner is one of the Charlton-LaCoste lines, largest shipping company in the world. Well, look who’s here, Gladys Frank and Helen Foryno, stars of Constance Forgione’s play “Come Up and See Me Some Time” which has played on Broadway for three months.
Here comes the elevator, driven by Joseph Kerble, bringing down Judson MacDonald and his bookkeeper Ruth Lutch, who have just returned from selling electric refrigerators to the Eskimos. Who’s that behind him? It’s that millionaire Albert Menns, coming with Edward Abber, the famous bugolist. Here comes two famous athletes, Harold Butler, track star, and Herman Berlinsky, baseball player. Say, there’s Joseph Cus- cuna, ambassador to Italy, Maurice Flynn, attorney-at-law, and Jacob Feingold, President of the Retired News Boys League standing around the tropical fish display placed there by Natalie Trout.
Wait a minute, folks, here comes Vincent Ciccotti, known to you all as the golden voiced announcer, with the famous radio team, Teresa Colonna, Elizabeth Dunlap, and Catherine Field, who will entertain you on the midnight hook-up of the Lady Evelyn and Helen Stalker program.
Well, our time is up so we’ve got to say “Cheerio.”

I.
We entered here as Sophomores,
We admit that we were green,
But our welcome was polite
Mr. Jenkin’s heart was light
When our lovely shining faces he had seen.
Later in the year we organized,
Our adviser was Heaven-sent,
We were led on by Mary Heald And Tommy Reid as president.
II.
We entered in our Junior year,
We were acquainted fairly well,
We had a lot of fun
And very good work was done,
And our faculty was swell.
One day discussing future plans,
A boy rose to orate
His efforts were not greeted well
Our class had to separate.
III.
We came back the fall of ’33,
To do better than before,
When the election had been run Our president was Henderson.
We presented “Pinafore.”
And now that we’ve been Seniors,
And since we’re almost through,
Malden High, we say farewell to you To you, we bid adieu.

“THE PIONEER”
The Eagle and The Sun
Man is the Eagle; his goal is the sun. Through life man plods on and on, at times with never an object in view, but still always following the light of the sun, in the dim distance, the star of ambition. Muddy, rutted roads, deep whirling maelstroms, are his obstacles. Wearily he goes on, putting one foot before the other to earn his success. True, his task is difficult, but his goal is by a path to glory. “On” must be his motto, over hill and dale and rough roads.
So it is with the eagle, always swooping, always soaring, always striv¬ ing to attain great heights — to reach the sun. To him the sun means promise, reward, fulfillment; it signifies the symbol of life. Over and over this monarch of the air repeats, “I’ll go high — my wings shall be spread out against the emblazoned light of the sun.” Up and up he soars to unbelievable heights, always striving for his goal — the sun.
Let us forget for the moment that we are humans; for the time being, we are eagles; the sun is our ambition; “I’ll go high — my wings shall be spread out against the emblazoned light of the sun”, shall be our motto. No longer are there pitfalls, but we mount up through limitless stretch of blue sky, borne aloft on our wings with the unbroken rays of the sun upon our countenances. A hungry love for the warmth of that blazing golden disc envelops us. We soar higher and higher with a steady progress up¬ ward, until the very earth is lost in a dim haze — and there is nothing in all existence about us, except the golden splendor of the sun and the vast¬ ness of the inverted blue bowl which seems to encompass the universe. A sense of power is ours ; the power to rise and rise — to attain great heights — to reach the sun. At the same time a feeling of awe and reverence en¬ gendered by the long blue arc of the heavens and the light of that solid disc engulfs us. But onward must our motto be, and we must not dally for such contemplation. We, the eagles, with wings outspread, mount to that dis¬ tant orb of light.
The knowledge that we are in reality mere human beings, once more overtakes us; but that feeling of sublimity, of attaining great heights, of reaching the sun, is with us forever. It can never again be lost; it is our ambition. We, the graduating class of 1934, are students, brave students perhaps, who are about to try our wings, eager to fly to renown. The sun once again is shining. We close our eyes and turn our faces toward that orb of light stretching above us. A new life courses through us. A new world seems to have been recreated. No longer are there maelstroms,
