JOHNSONJOHNSON August 2009 n my student days, I was the victim of a burglary; although, given the area of Sheffield in which my tiny one-bedroom flat was situated, I was probably lucky to only experience this on one occasion (Seriously, just Google “axe attack Sheffield” and you will be able to see my old neighbourhood in all its glory!). I Being the victim of such a crime is a terrible thing. It becomes impossible to relax in your own home, and the sense of anger and anxiety which follow are something which can seriously play on your mind for months to follow. You may then think it is strange that I spent a year of my life writing the biography of a famous Sheffield burglar, exploring his antics and dragging his cowardly crimes back into the limelight after a century of almost obscurity. The rogue in question was Charles Frederick Peace, a master of cat burglary and cunning disguise, and a man whose life was entirely deserving of being immortalised.

Still suffering the aftershocks of the Great Depression despite Franklin D. Roosevelt’s progressive New Deal nos- trums—unemployment stood at 17% for 1939—Americans eyed the expanding wars in Europe and Asia nervously. Some tried to dismiss Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as comic opera buffoons, decrying the hostilities as a “phony war” because not much had happened since the blitzkrieg dismemberment of Poland the previous September. These naysayers did not see it for what it was: the calm before the storm. Before the first year of the new decade was out, Nazi Germany seized Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Nether- lands, and ultimately France, while attempting to bomb the United Kingdom into subjection. The British held out defiantly, and Hitler reluctantly abandoned his plans to invade England. That small victory brought no cheer to the conquered nations, where Der Führer’s relentless oppres- sion of Jews and other scapegoated minorities was in full force. Il Duce, too, continued his aggression, as Fascist Italy invaded Egypt and Greece.

  • 1952 Chelmsford High Yearbook
    w CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK d a n of 1952 class Advisers LAWRENCE P. HEALY HELEN R. POLAND CHELMSFORD, MASSACHUSEHS im portance oCivin^ Chapter one of the story of life is written in the past tense. It is a tale of delight, a fantasy of our own authorship. The people are happy and friendly; the setting, pleasantly narrow; the incidents, gay and en­ tertaining; the main character, the all absorbing, growing /. Its pages are crammed with a merry confusion of bicycles, ball games, books, proms, and lost fountain pens. Chapter two of the story of life is written in the present tense. Stark realism replaces romance. The characters are often insecure and selfish. The setting broadens. The incidents expand to include the social and the economic, as well as the personal. The main character becomes WE. These pages are heavy with the bewildering problems of armed services, post secondary education, subsistence, atomic energy, social justice, and human liberty. Its theme concerns the eternal verities and a way of life. Graduation signifies the end of the first chapter of our book, and the beginning of the second. Although all that precedes it is now indelible and final, its spirit and its lessons in the IMPORTANCE OF LIVING persist in chapter two, inspiring its authors and giving them hope of a happy and successful conclusion. ^t^eclica tion In appreciation of his untiring efforts to orient us in a troubled world, to encourage our future education, and for his gentlemanly manner in assisting us with the complex problems of youth, we, the Class of 1952, gratefully dedicate this Yearbook to ANTHONY T.
