To the Students of Chelmsford H igh School:
Your Lown offers to you freely the opportunity for an education, yet it does not give you one. Your teachers cannot give it to you, nor can your parents, regardless of how long they kee p you in schoo l. All that can be given is the oppor tunity in appropriate surroundings, under skilled guid ance, a nd with home and school enco uragement for each one of you indi vidually Lo educate himself. On your pa rt ther e must be the active w ill I to profit from what is offered ; without such effor t there is no education. It is as true today as in the days of Alexander that there is no royal road II to learning.
The aims of education have changed with the times. Mere knowledge, whether of Latin or mathematics, science or la ng uage, is not now enough . fl In the crowded scenes of this intricate and shrunken world in which you live there is need as never before for social consciousness, for abil ity to get along with all sorts and conditions of men. Isola tion is no longer possible. I~ Frontiers are gone. The cloistered scholar who kept alive the world s store of learning in an earlier age is not the need of today, but rather the ma n of action who can work harmoniously wit h his fellow men, whether in labor !I lory, on in office, or in faclory, or in any fi eld of human endeavor.
We lry in Chelmsford High School to give you the fullest opport unity I Lo acquire useful knowledge. At the same time, in the classroom as well as 0 11 the athletic fi eld, you have th e opportunity to gain va luable experi ence in the team play so essential for success in modern life. Your attitude [~ toward school, t he manner in which yo u meet teachers and classmates, th'.'! extent to which you effeclively cooperate wit h other s- these a re most im porta nt factor s in the education you are giving yourself, fully as important II as high marks. Self-education does not end with school days. Go out with an open mind, think problems thr ough, endeavor to see both sides of a I question, aim to be of service to the wo rld, and you may then be assured of fi lli ng an honorable and a satisfying place in the life of your community. Sincerely yours, I GEORGE S. WRIGH T I I I So, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Gl:ORGE . \ \/RIGHT I S11perinfc,11denl u/ t!te Schools o/ C /wlms/ord I I ~ I --

Class Ode I
Our school days now have reached an end I How swiftly lhey have fiown !- Those carefree days that we did spend, The sweetest ever known. I Those halls re-echoed far and wide With shout and laughter gay; But now 'tis but a memory I That e'er with us will stay.
As on we journey Lh rough th is life I O'er paths that lead afar, "Our aim-success; our hope-to win" Shall be our guiding sLar; And though at times Lhe path be steep And dark the way, and drear, I W e'II still press on to reach the goal That is to all so clear. I To you, dear school, we owe much more Than we can e'er repay, But we can strive to keep alight I The torch of truth each day. And so with courage and with pride We'll hide each tear and sigh, I And bravely make our fond farewells And say lo you, "Goodbye." I LENA GENETTI '31:S Music-MIRIAM HINDMAN '38 I I I i Sixteen

Knightly Athletics is a term generally applied to a large variety of sports which I are recognized as contests of physical skill, or are played for the purpose of developing physical strength. Here at Chelmsford we narrow the contests down to t hree major II sports. They are football, baskeball, and basketball. The girls as well as boys take part in the latter. Our teams play full schedules with schools of our own size. The II Chelmsford High School Athletic Association equips and maintains these teams. By this we mean that the pupils themselves buy uniforms, purchase baseballs, bats, footballs, basketballs, hire officials, etc., and in addition I pay for transportation costs to out-of-town games. The Athletic Associa tion does not receive one cent of the Town of Chelmsford's school appro priation. I The athletic department hopes to carry on its schedule without cur tailment but there is reason to fear for we have no enclosed field. Gate receipts at games, especially football, are not what they might be. In the past we have used coils of snow-fence which we borrowed from the town 11 highway department. Although this has helped, it is far from being an adequate protection against gate-crashing. And ther e are always those who prefer to remain on the outside and look in without being taxed, pro I vided they are tall enough to look over the top of a snow-fence four f eet high. The graduating class in 1935 left as a class gift the sum of $50 there I by opening an account called the Fence Fund. Classes which have followed have felt that the erection of a barrier a round the field is too great for students a lone. They feel outside assistance is necessary if we are to make this worthwhile effort become a reality. I Among our citizenry there may be those who would like to contribute a ll or part of the necessary funds for this proposed project. Perhaps there is a local organization or service club which would like to lend a helping I hand. There is doubt that one could think of an enterprise whereby so many !Joys and girls would derive as much real help as they could through a prop I erly enclosed field . This would assure, not only the retention of athletics on our present scale, but an expansion of our program. Please cooperate and help us keep abreast with the times by meeting II the ever-increasing athletic demands of every modern progressive high school.

In 1936, you will r emember, our maroon and blue cohorts lost only one game of a nine-game schedule. The pigskin wa rriors of 1937 won their first four games before tieing a strong Johnson High team at North An I dover 13-13. After dropping a one-point decision to Manchester (Mass.) High School and being whipped by a superior Ashland High team, our boys I played Howe. In a driving rain Capt. Matley and his men had to content themselves with a scoreless t ie. Although Chelmsford threatened the Howe goal in the third period, a stubborn defense stopped our thrusts after pene I trating the 15-yard line. Captain George Matley handed over to Captain-elect Sam Stephens the I duty of keeping Chelmsford High in the winning column next season.

T hey have always accepted the bitter with the sweet. Our basketball boys were turned back by t he enemy on all but three occasions. There seems to be a r eason. Other schools have erected new buildings with high ceilings and unimpeded floo rs a nd our boys seem lost when they play a way from home. If Chelmsford is to continue this spor t on an even competitive basis with our rivals something should be done to find better playing facilities either a t the school or .in a hired building. T he team of Hl37-38 was not without bright spots. Captain Ed. F letcher was a star. He was second leading point scoret· of the Lowell Surburban League. Roy J ohnson and Ed Bettencourt had t heir brilliant moments as forwards. Charlie H azel tine, the Captain-elect, and Gordon Cochrane were the guards on the team who hope for a better season this coming winter.

In the guard court, Captain-elect, Cynthia Picken and Patricia Mc Hugh ably assisted by a newcomer to the ranks, Elizabeth Dows, showed I inc reasing skill in defensi ve playing. Louise O'Brien and Gertrude Sullivan alternated as side-centers with Eleanor Pearson and Captain Ethna Hazeltine and Doris Lapham as cen I ters. Th e forward court consisting of Annie Clough, Josephine McDonough was considerably strengthened about midseason when Ethna Hazeltine was I changed from center.

After droppiJJ,g a heart-breaking game in the season's opener , and losing to the league leading Johnson outfi t, the team came through with a 6-0 win over Howe. In this game Roy Johnson, ace of the pitching staff, entered that baseball hall of fame by hurling a no-hit, no-run game. This was the first performance of the sort r egistered while Coach Knightly has been here. The team then went on to win two of the next fo ur games wh ile losing two. Tewksbury and Punchard copped wins over Ch elmsford, while the team gained victories over Wilmington and Lexington. The 1938 team was captained by "Ed" Desaulnier, who, paired with "Del" John son at shortstop, made a flashy combination around second base. Don Grant at first base and Bob Chambers at third, rounded out the infield. On the pitching roster were Roy J ohnson, "Toffy" Narus, J oe Bomal, J im Doole, "Mike" Cochrane, and Parker George. The catching duties were shared by Paul Beauregard a nd Art Greenwood. The outfield was well taken care of by Ed Fletcher, Russ Butterfield and Robert DeKalb.

I Coached most efficiently by Miss F. Christine Booth and Miss Bet Hoffman of the faculty, "Huckleberry F inn- Detective" proved to be more than ordinary entertainment. Laughter! Suspense! Mystery! All were I contained in this fin e three-act comedy. The cast, which was composed of selected Seniors, revealed amazing talent and zeal. Robert Burroughs as "Huckleberry Finn" exhibited un I usual talent, while Winifred Paignon as lovable "Aunt Polly", captivated her audience with her "all a-twitters". Ethna Hazeltine and Thelma Han sen, " Clara Woppinger"' and "Amy" respectively, caused much laughter in their humerous roles. Lena Genetti, as "Sunbeam Johnson" the colored I maid, deserves credit for being able to remove the black warpaint and to discard that "Southern Accent". Richard Hines as "John Finn", made an excellent husband and father, while Dennis Sullivan as "Tom Sawyer", has I atLained fame for wearing his "outgrown" suit gracefully. John Coluchi was resplendent in his role of the Villain, "Sam Knowles", and Helen Stanewicz, who "got her man" (with handcuffs) was fin e as "Ann Ra nd".

r,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,.,_,,,,,,,,,,,,o,,,,,ueeoooo Prophecy of 1938 On a warm af ternoon in J une, Snow White and her seven faithful friends, the Dwarfs, were seated in their garden singing a nd telling tales. Animals hovered about and birds were fl ying here and there. Suddenly a clatter of horses' hoofs was heard. A regal caniage came into view a nd I then stopped at the garden gate. A youth descended from the carriage. It was the Prince. He walked up to where the group was sitting, dropped to his knees, and placed a beautiful ring in Snow White's hand. "Put it on, put it on!" cried the Dwa rfs in unison. As she did a mist enveloped the garden. They all seemed to be entering into an unknown land. Looking around, they saw a large sign which read, "Welcome to Future Land" I Upon entering the village, they were met by Mayor Edwin "Beanie" Bettencourt who agreed to escort them about the town. The first thing that caught their eye was a neon sign advertising I "Cornwall's Dainty Doughnut Shop." They entered the shop and saw Bob Chambers vigorously jerki ng sodas. Vivacious Winfred Paignon, wife of the proprietor, acted as hostess. She directed t hem to a roomy booth. I "Tell us, Mr. Mayor," inquired Snow White, "what has become of your other Chelmsford High School classmates?" "To be sure, my dear," Mayor Bettencourt responded puffing vigor ously. "Ed Desaulnier, The leading lawyer in the town, has decided to retire and write poetry. Howard Abrahamson is directing a band which has put Benny Goodman out of business. I In Norway Evelyn Burton is being hailed "Champion Figure Skater of the World." Modest "Ted" Grant is teaching a group of future skiers how to do the "Christiana." Lena Genetti, in Holywood, is breaking all box office records. Hilda J enkinson, sweet songstress, is stirring the hearts of opera fans. Handsome "Gerry" Kennedy, Dennis Sullivan, now famous actors, and I Robert Wallace, chemistry professor at Harvard, are on a flight to the stratosphere. "Ed" Fletcher is heavy-weight champion of the world, hav ing defeated rugged "Al" Burton in a gate smashing world's record fight. Charming Helen Stanewicz is head of the "Hollywood Hotel," assist ing her are chubby Phyllis Stearns, and reserved Francis Mills. Helen Cote is busy washing shirts and darning socks. The chansoning Gordon Sisters, dansapating Graham Sisters, and the delovely Eddy Sisters are now appearing in "The Big Broadcast of 1950" produced by the great genius, Robert Gray. When the group had finished eating their tasty little snack, they de parted from the shop and went on their journey. About one-half a block from where they had just eaten, they saw a huge building which caught their attention. Upon closer observation, they learned that it was a large department store owned by the great Roy Johnson. As they were passing I by the front entrance, they saw Roy, himself, standing there with his two beautiful " blonde" children waiting for his wife ( ?) to arrive. "Hello, " said Snow White and her companions. "Good afternoon," answered Roy seeming rather disturbed. "I've been waiting a half hour Sc,,,•11 /y-lwo ;,:,,,-,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,eeo, ,,e,,,,,, The Chronicle of 1938 for my wife and she hasn't come yet. She never was on time and I don't think she ever will be!" "That's a shame," sighed Snow White, "but perhaps, since you live in the land where the class of '38 lives, you can give us a bit of information concerning t hose graduates while you're waiting." "Certainly," repli ed Roy. "Yesterday while lu nching at "Russ" Butterfield's restaurant, I ran into Marguerite Ferron and "Bob" B urroughs who were leaving hurriedly so as not to be late for their matinee performance in "It's The Last Scene That Counts," coached by Warren Caton and George Clarke. Muriel Clark is now an air hostess on a plane which is piloted by "Art" Bachelder, who has hung up a fast and enviable record." "Margaret "Barney" Kerrigan and Mary Kinch, who, by the way still enj oy riding in open cars, have opened a hairdresser's shop. "Millie" Mac I Laughlin a nd Evelyn Sturtevant have formed a "flying fingers duo," and ' appear nightly at the "Swallow's Nest" owned by George Swallow.'' "Well, I guess that is a ll for now," continued Roy, "as I can see my wife coming. Good bye." They said "Adieu'' and on they went. It was now growing dusk and lights of the city were beginning to be ~ lighted. As they were crossing the street, they noticed a large theatre owned by Creighton Hamilton. The names of those people in lights were I none other than those of gorgeous Arlene Russell and adorable Jean Lin stad. Standing all in uniform waiting for cars to drive up was handsome "Toffy" Narus. Seated at the box office were his faithful cashiers, Eliza I beth Dows and Brenda Meloon. Walking along the sidewalk they came to a small diner on wheels. On it there was a sign reading, "Get's Mom's Cookies Here," owned by the one and only "Ken" Cooke who was ably assisted by lovely Margaret Drake. Suddenly a yellow roadster driven by Cynthia Speed, accompanied by Anna Baron came speeding down the street. Around a corner "Bob" Knapp and - "Johnnie" Smith, husky and healthy farmer s were valiantly attempting to I control two excited farm horses. A screech of brakes was heard. A CRASH! What a commotion! People running and shrieking. Two burly men in brass buttons appeared, George Matley and John Coluchi. "Order, order!" they shouted. At that instant an ambulance, driven I by Paul LaPointe, arrived at the scene. Pretty Shirley Beaulieu, Marjorie Bumps, and Rachel Knight, clad in white, got out to assist Dr. Sterling R. Wallis, who was examining the patients. Reporter Manuel Sousa came hurrying up, asking all sorts of questions and talking about getting a raise after all. No one seemed to be badly injured and the crowd dis persed. Tired from their long journey, our friends decided to spend the night at Miss Stanchfield's Hotel. They entered and were surprised to see t itian tressed Irene Jones sitting on a high stool at the registry desk. Snappy Clifford Firth, head bell-boy, led them to their rooms. He told them that I "Babs" Scobie, wife of a millionaire, was spending a week in town. He I said that she was accompanied by her personal companion, Anne Gorham, and that master of the violin, "Sam" Panessiti. I After resting a few hours, they went downstaire to see the floor-show. As they passed by a conspicuous table, they heard two prime schoolmarms, Eva Kelley and Vivien Todd moaning, "Teaching first grade is driving me nuts," and "You're telling me." The lights were dimmed and t he show I started. Imagine their surprise when beautiful Barbara Grant, dressed in si lver, walked on to the platform and sang "Thanks for the Memories of ( Chelmsford High School :,,,,,,,,,,,,e,,,,e,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,eoooo, C. H. S." so sweetly that even stern Richard Hines, an Arctic explorer, shed a few tears. Ethna Hazeltine was still doing eccentric dances a nd Miriam Hindman, yodeling cowgirl, was wonderful. The program came to a close with the announcement by exotic Thelma Hansen that everyone was in vited to a large dinner party held on her palatial yacht and that she re quested the presence of Mayor Bettencourt and his friends especially. Mr. Mayor and our friends were greatly pleased and a rranged to at tend after he had ca ll ed up his wife to ask if it was all right with her. Nautical Ralph Wood piloted them out to the yacht. When they entered the drawing room, they were astounded to see three famous society women; namely, Countess Mary Niemaszyk, Duchess Julia Orgent, and Lady Al I I bertine Tremblay looking about through their lorgnettes. Pugnacious Huth Harvey and Bernice "Bunny" Donohue were arguing about who "got the best man." Mary Driscoll and Gertrude Sullivan were (still ) talking about their operations and their trips around the world as guests of t he President. Someone was reading stories aloud from a book, "How to Keep that Schoolboy's Complexion," written by J ohnnie McGeown.
