To the Sludcnts of Chelms fo rd High School :
Many sludcnls al this Lime arc choosing subjects or courses for next year. Whelher Lo Lake F rench or geometry, chemistry or economics, a coliege preparator y course or Lhe commercial are questions of the day. Sludenls who intend Lo go Lo college have little freedom of choice, for t hey must plan their work by entrance requirements from the first year in high school, but other s each year may weigh the comparative mer its of the ::;..i bjcc~s offered and should choose as wisely as they can what a ppear s to be most valuable for them.
Strange as it may seem, t he var ious subj ects offered do not differ in intrinsic value. It is not the subject taken which matters, but the way in ,vhic'.1 the student takes lhe w bjecl. Tr he has Lo be d riven lo do his wJ rk and is contenl with merely getting by, then the value of the subject is almost ni l. lf, on the other hand, he bcc;)mcs so engrosr.ecl in his wo rl, that 11 eilhcr lime nor effo ;t counts in hi s determination Lo do the Las k well, then he is gelling maximum benefit from that subject, wha tever iL may be. Subj ecls and courses a re of litlle importance when compa red with the spirit in which they are pursued. May each student in Chelmsford lligh School choose subjecls w isely, Lo the encl that he strives willingly and earnestly to master them.

To the girls and boys of Chelmsford High School:
This spring we heard that we must serve humanity or our services would eventually not be needed. Also, in choosing a vocation we were in formed that only those institutions that are making the world a better place to live in a re permanent. We may very easily conclude that service and not material reward should be given first consideration in deciding what we shall select for our life work. We should not be deceived by a fi ckle populace demanding the sensational. This demand is of a comparn tively short time, which leaves the performer stranded with nothing to do and, unless a careful handling of finances has been practiced, with no funds lo live on. On the other hand the so called public service jobs ar e not sensational and they do not pay as high salaries, but they a re of a much longer duration, furnishing the public servant with a means of being useful as well as earning a Jiving, fo r a life time.
A true benefactor of the people chooses his profession with the spirit of service uppermost in his mind. A selfish person who thinks of his pay check first should not conside r public service for his vocation because he is doomed to disappointment. The satisfaction of being useful during the greater part of one's life is the most importa nt part of the remuneration of a public servant.
Some who become disgrnntled because of their comparntively low sal a ries do not do their best while working for humanity. Others who hold their jobs because of politics and thereby f eel secure, sometimes r est on that feeling of security and fail to do their du ty. We have known people who, because of conceit and a wrong conception of their intell igence and im portance, have been liabilities to their professions. There are those who loaf on their jobs while the boss is not there, thereby cheating themselves as well as the public of the valuable services they could render if they had the spirit of service in their hearts. The world and the professions these selfish people are hindering would be much better off without their half hearted attempts to serve.
If you would be truly ha ppy, choose a vocation of service, be honest with yo urselves and the public you serve, and by your faithfulness and sin cerity crowd out of the service professions those people whose selfish in terests stand in their pathways of true success.
Sincerely yours,

The Class of 1937 is soon to face the annual problem of every graduat ing group; namely, finding employment, a nd, what is even more impo rtant, holding that job once it is gained. On the eve of Commencement, it would be well to consider some of the means by which both these ends may be attained. The business world today is inte rested in one primary facL and f hat is to obtain the best personnel possible. They want the best because it is good business to have reliable, intelligent employees. Today, the employer has plenty of opportunity to get what he wants, for t he supply of workers is much greater t han the demand. He looks for certain indispensable qual ities in every candidate for a position. These are intelligence, co u rtesy, neatness, and industry. Applicants possessing these wi ll not have to wait long fo1· their chance for the business world always has room for these assets. Let us consider each of these sepa rately. This intelligence does not necessarily mean book learning but rather the desire io improve and the ability to avoid previous errors. Intell igence is m andatory for lack of it means loss of money to a firm a nd a disrnption of its organization. Abil ity to comprehend the particular problems of the business that you a re in means success for you and for the firm. Courtesy today is not as prevalent as in the past and fortunate is the applicant who possesses it. Courtesy brings friends and friends are the steps upon which you mount the ladder of life. No ma n is really self-made for without assistance his advance would be impossible. Courtesy brings cooperation from your supe,·iors and consideration from your fellow-work i rs and without these you remain in a mt. Neatness of appearance implies a like qua lity in your work. Two jobs may be equa ll y well done but the neat er will gain the greate,· consider ation because of its appearance of workmanship. The person that is careful of his own possessions is generally careful of other people's property and that is what employers want. Industry means a desire to work a nd to work well. Clock-watchers are their own worst enemies as those students who have tried to hasten a period by so doing have found out. Industry means do ing extra work without any other hope of reward other than a job well done. T he in dustrious worker soon attracts the attention of those who employ him and his chance comes all the sooner. A cheerful attit ude while working hel ps t remendously and makes the day's labor less a r duous. These four are essentials without which no one can succeed. Read the lives of successful men and you will find that they all possessed these qual ities to a high degree. Obser ve the failures in life and the lack of these four will be evident. If you have not attained them by now, then start im mediately to acquire them, for no matte r where you go or what you do the world will demand of you intell igence, courtesy, neatness, and industry. With them you can not help but succeed. J ohn J. MacLaughlan

The most certain pleasures are those that lie in the past for they can never be taken away from us despite what the future may hold. Realizing this fact to be true, it has been the custom for many years at the Chelmsford High School to record those events and happenings of the current school year in a volume known as "The Courant." Us purpose is to aid the fallible memory by retaining in a permanent form Lhe likeness and characters of one's classmates for the years to come. If it thus sei;,ves the Class of 1937, it will have proven its worth and reward the efforts of Lhe Board of Editors.

On the threshold of life we are ling'gring, While scanning school mem'ries held dear And the friendships which here have been strengthened By bonds t hat will e'er keep us near. Ambition is beck'ning us onward, With a hand t hat is steadfast and staunch ; It will steer us o'er life's surg ing billows As forth to our future we launch.
Chel msford High School-forever its mem'ry Inspires us to aim toward our goal Wi th our mot to of "Onward and Upwar d" F orever enshrined in our soul. Four short years spent within its broad portals, Have ta ught us those lessons of life Which, while facing the uncertain fut ure, Will bear us through trouble and strife.
Now we leave you, our dear Alma Mater, Wi t h a handclasp that's t rue and sincere But our color s of purple and sil ver Will gleam brighter with each coming year. May t he name of our classmates be wr itten Some day in the great Hall of Fame ; And our score may it be one that's numbered The winners of life's ha ppy game.

RUTH GORHAM From the furnace of trial a nd sorrow there seems to emerge a purer spirit cleaned by the fires of adversity. Thus it has been with our class: mate Ruth. Stricken by a dread illness, she has come forth braver, more determined and with a brighter light in her eyes that seems to reflect her bright heart within. We stand in silent admiration for our Ruth and know that, with her misfortunes behind her, life will still have much to offer such a courageous character.

Oft I'm sad as I sit and think, And ofl again I'm glad. And then T see the old moon wink, lle knows when T'm sad or glad. Then I think of the days gone by And ask: Have I done my best? Oft have I shook my head and sighed: Could have done better, 1 guess. I know it's a n absurd feeling But e'en still, I feel so free That I really feel like kneeling To lhank Cod for making me.

Do you love to see a long forward pass completed? A re you thrilled at an overtime basketball game ? Do you get a kick out of a pitcher's battle ? If so, then you a re a fan. But if you a nswer " no" to the above questions, you need a blood transfusion. Furthermore, I'd like t o have a second of your t ime. During the past school year our athletic teams made enviable r ecords. Our football team lost but one game. The baseball players made a bril liant showing. Chelmsford's basketball quintet foug ht hard despite in experience. Our g irls' team has always been good. Yet we had compa ra tively poor attendance records. This shows a lack of student interest. Now in order to keep our athletic program on as high a plane as in the past, we need your support. You finance your teams through your athletic association dues. We collect little in gate receipts. If you back the team by going to the games, you are li kely to infl uence others through your enthusiasm. Get behind the teams and boost our stocks. Attend the games. Good teams deserve support. Poor teams need su ppol't. When our team awaits the opening blast from the referee's whistle announcing t he start of another football season, let ever y fellow and girl enrolled in om· school be on hand to lend support. May a ll alumni enjoy a conti nued interest in our athletic endeavors. Keep tuned in. Good Sports, Ever yone! GEORGE R. KNIGHTLY, Coach.

The only team to defeat Chelmsford during the entire season was the high geared J ohnson High outfit. The learn was led by Capt. Gus Gol ubisky who was shifted from a tackle post to the backfield after George Ma lley's injury, a nd proved to be a hard driving halfback. Chelmsford won 6 games, tied 2 and lost one, the two ties being one with Tewksbury and the other a 6-6 deadlock with Dracut. This game turned out to be a great surprise as Dracut was rated as one of the best small school teams in Eastern Massachusetts. Throughout the season, the punting and place-kicking of fullback Don Bachelder was outstanding while the ends were ably taken care of by Bill O'Brien and Nick Capuano. The quarterbacking was done by Chet Millman who reeled off many long runs during the course of the season. Walter Belleville and Capt. Gus Golubisky were the two hard running backs. Next season's squad will be ha rd pressed for veterans since graduation this June claims nine of the eleven regulars who held down starting posi tions. George Matley, halfback, is captain-elect. The record was as fol lows: Sept. 26 Chelmsford 7 Millis 0 Oct. !H Chelmsfor l'o,ty.5n P W-W .._..WWW' WW WWW W WWWWWWIQ 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 THE COURANT OF 1937 m1,r J11ootball S,qua~ of 136 Come or1, salute. all ( hclmsforrl H ,gh!

The games t hemselves were marked for their dis play of teamwork and good sports manship. Aided by the clever passing of her forward court partner, Thelma Co rr, Captain Frances Kelley garnered a total of 124 points during the season. At the other end of the basketball floo r two more seniors, Rachel Burns and Barbara Swanson, occasionally assisted by the flashy sopho more, Cynthia Picken, played in an ou tstanding manner all season, proving themselves to be serious obstacles to the offensive game of Chelmsford's opponents. No small amount of credit for our successful season goes to "the best center co urt combi nation in the League, "Steph" Zabierek a nd Captain-elect Ethna Hazeltine. After smil ing favorably on Chelmsford until the last week of the sea son, Dame Fortune turned her back to us, snapping our drive toward the League Championship. For a second consecutive ti me we ended the sea son with a second-place standing in the Girl's division of the Lowell Sub urban League The season's record was a most creditable one for the girls and for Miss Hoffman who w faithfull y and effi ciently coached the girls in the technique of the game and the principles of sportsmanship.

Only co-captains " Bill O'Br ien and Ed Fletcher and Roy Clough had seen varsity service. Roy Johnson moved up from j unior varsity. These fou!" with Charlie Hazeltine and Ed Bettencourt bore the brunt of a hard season. Our season's record, though not impressive or comparable to those of former ~·ears, had many interesting high-lights. We were pleased when our team got into the fin a ls at t he twelfth Annual Village High School Tournament at the Fitchburg Y. M.C.A.

For tunately for us he seems to have endless pep and enthusiasm. Thus, with the first sign of spring we welcomed his call for baseball candidates and rejoiced in the re sults of his long and well organized prac:tice periods which produced a heavy hitting, clever fielding baseball team. Led by Captain ick Capuano, the team offered fans a truly high brand of play throughout t he season. Don Bachelder, powerful mound ace, compiled a bril liant pitching record. In two successive games he fanned 38 opposing batsmen yi eld ing but fh·e sca ttered hits in earh contest. Lowell sports writers hailed Bachelder as greater Lowell 's 1937 pitching sensation while Bill King, Associated Press sports writer, termed him another "Bob Feller". Roy Johnson, "Pete" Makey, Neil Fitzpatrick and "Toffy " arus were others of our pitching staff who turned in excellent performances. Edga r George, a fin e receiver, did the catching. Walte r Relleville did a n ex celle nt job on first. Those two inseparables, " Ed" Desaulnier and "Del" J ohn on made a great keystone pair. N ick Capua!lo is an all-round star. Out in the field Ed F letcher, "Zoke" Fuller, "Bud" Olsen and Tim Sheehan pa trolled in big league fashion. And could Ol !:en hit? Wow! Those who helped make our team what the record shows were substitutes : War ren Taylor, Paul Beauregard, Bill O'Brien, John Petterson, Russ Butterfield and Charlie Hazeltine. Bill Golubisky was senior manager.

The A.A., which has lhe la i'gest membership of all t he clubs, supports t he sports of C. II. S. not onl y financially, but morally does iL stand behind the teams to urge them on. Its success is largely due to the endeavors of the faculty manager, Mr. Budnick and Lo Mr. Wa tt who so ably took over t he leadership during his absence. Due credit and appreciation of their untiring efforts cannot be duly expressed to Miss Hoffma n and Mr. Knightly, the coaches of the girls' and boys' various teams, who taught not only t he principles of the game but good s portsmanship likewise. To the rest of the facul ty a nd the student body thanks is given for their cooperation and ex hibition of the well-known "Chelmsford Spirit." The A.A. is pl eased to congratulate the following members who have earned awards in the var ious sports of the 1936-1937 season : FOOTBALL William Golubisky, Captain Edgar Geor ge Donald Bachelder Robert Knapp Hobert Batchelder Peter Makey Walter Belleville George Matley William Bray Chester Millman Nick Capuano William O'Brien Hoy Clough Millis P elton Edward Dcsaulnier Samuel Stevens \Va lte1· Fletcher Ellsworth Winnette Gerald Kennedy, M nnager BOYS' BASKETBALL Waller Fletcher, Co-Captain Edward Desa ulnier William O'Brien, Co-Captain William Harvey Edwin Bettencourt Charles Hazeltine Roy Clough Roy J oh nson 'Naltcr Polley, Mannger Cl RLS' BASKETBALL Frances Kelley, Captain J osephine McDonough Rachel Burns Cynthia Picken T helma Corr Barbara Swanson Ruth Harvey Stephanie Zaberiek Ethna Hazeltine Shirley MacLean, Mcmager Barbara Grant, A ssistant Ma nager (numerals) F./ty-three CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL wwwwwwwww lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll A rliuitie!l There is no man who fro s no/ some> inll'resling a~sol'iulions U'it/1 purliculur SCC' /l c:s. ur uir.,, or books, w,d ll'IIO du<'s nu/ fi,i,[ lhl'ir bea11/y or s11bli111il y i,11- !1w1<:ecl lo him by suc/1 cu1111 e,·/io n s . ..-Alison Fi/ty-/our W'WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL 111 11111 111 11 111111 11 1111111111 11 1111 11111 11 111111 111 11111111 11 11111111111111111111111111111111 1111 (!Jqemintry QTlub P resident ROBERT WALLA CE V ir<'-P resid en I EVELYN KELLEY SecrPta,1y GERTRUDE SULLIVAN T reasurPr ROBERT GRAY Adviser PROCTER WILSON The Chemistry Club was organized several years ago by the pupils en rolled in the Chemistry class.

All these things, silhouetted against a romantic Spanish background, were very beautiful indeed. With such a picture and a cast of merry faced songsters, "The Lost Necklace" opened its Chelmsford premiere in the Center Town Hall. The story connected with this operetta is that of a beautiful American miss, ably portrayed by Ethna Hazeltine, who loses her cherished necklace while visiting the Spanish vineyards and enjoying a siesta with the melodious grape-gatherers and colorful Zingara gypsies. ln despair, she accuses the gypsies of having stolen it but later a member of the group finds the necklace and all is well again. Miss 1[ yde as Lola gave a fine performance as did also Norma Wiggin as Inez, Harriet Ford as Dolores, Eleanor Pearson as Zerlina, and Louise O'Brien as Esmeralda. These soloists sang songs characteristic to their races and customs and were most efficiently aided by the chorus. A dance by Cynthia Picken, a gypsy, was a rtisticall y done and lhe other folk dances revealed the gracefulness of the youthful actresses. S,xty-tu;o 1Alig iijearteh 1ijerbert Whenever there is a good play, a good cast, and a good coach, ther e is bound to be an excellent production. The Senior Play of '37 had each of these essential factors and those of us who have witnessed lhe performance have been captivated from the time of the opening to the time of its grand climax. The story, la id against a cozy a nd "folky" background, concerns a self-made ma nufacturer who insists on simple li ving and who does not see why his only daughter must marry a Harvard man, or why his oldest son must go to college. Herbert, the grumbling business man, undergoes one nervous prostration af ter a nother. First he drops in on some invited guests in hi s shirt sleeves, next d;scovers a portrait of his cherished father removed from view, a nd finally explodes when he learns of the a nnounce ment of his daughte1·'s ma rriage without his previous knowledge. Through the tact of hi s wife he is eventually cooled down and is made to r ealize the present mode of living of other people. John Hill in the role of Herbert, the father, gave a superb performa nce in which he shows how angry a n a ngry man can get. Barbara Goodwin, as Elizabeth, revealed with g reat efficiency the anxiety of the wife who had to "bear the brunt." Pauline Lundberg and William Hill (Alice and Andy) proved to be ideal lovers and each embracing scene was polished to perfec tion. Paul Laferriere and William Hines were the sons of the family. Junio1· and Rober t (who had a weakness for bananas) were the providers of humor as was also Stephanie Zabierek, the saucy ma id, Martha, who had her eye on Andy as well as the coffee on the breakfast table. Helen Mills a nd Millis Pelton promenaded under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Good- 1·ich, pa1·ents of Andy, and the prospective in-laws. Shirley MacLean and Murtaugh Borrows were t he Amy and Jim who did not occupy a h igh position in the estimation of Herber t. Last, but not least, Dorothy LeCla ir and Archie Hulick as Mr. and Mrs. Havens, the guests at the fatal dinner which caused Herbert to topple from his high horse of family traditions. The fast moving comedy, stocked with la ughs and expertly coached by Miss Grace Healey, is worthy of great praise and rivals any "Maytimc" or " a n Francisco" that ever graced the screen.

When I went to bed that night, I began to think of the Sibyl Cumaean, one of the Prophetesses of Apoll o. As l thought of her l seemed to be going farther, and farthe1· away from home, and then, Jo and behold! I stood in front of the Cumaean cave. Then I saw the Sibyl, and bowing, I asked her if she would grant mu the favor of telling me about the future of this year's senior class. She in formed me she would but that she would rather tell about them than picture them. Then she seemed to get stiff and her face reddened and the story IJegan- "l sec nrst a great wa;· with a ll nations engaged in a bitter struggle. General Norman Bickford is supervising things for the C. H. S. Army. His assistants, Eric Johnson, Ray Lantagne, are of no assistance to their great general. Instead of covering themselves with glory in this war, J oe O'Neil, Arnold Saunders, Wilbur Ferron are covering themselves with mud, although Joe is pitching for his company's team, the other two are just pitching hay for the ho rses. Big Norman Wright, romantic Bill Hines, and bashful Bill Bray are among the injured resting comfortably in the Wekillem Hospital. Blissful Doris Foote, enchanting Alix Marine!, fiery Dot Lewis, Phoebe Murphy, Hope Fielding are their nurses. Archie Hulick and Paul Laferriere are their very efficient doctors. Millis Pelton and Buddy Olsen are aviators. Shortly Bill O'Brien forgets he is in a war and not a football game and runs out and catches a large hand grenade- . "Windy" Batchelder is ever faithful to the colors, trying to forget a cer tain blonde who "done him wrong." Back in the U. S. A. quiet Tim Sheehan, who was picked up by major league scouts and shatter·ed Babe Ruth's home run record, is now the lead ing sports scribe in the country. 198 lb. Lillian Rich, and tall, lanky Stephanie Zabierek are his very effi cient helpers. Jim Birtwell is editor of the N. Y. Julloclirt paper. Florence Kelley, the deep voiced girl is the .,ociety edi tor. Ed O' eil is the comic page editor. Gert McNulty and Anna Mello, the two night life girls, are the editors of the woman's page. "Next l see," continued the Sibyl, "the Old Ladies' Home. The oldesl member of the home is big 200 lb. Betty Johnson. Dagny Kropp is also one of the more prominent members of the home. Pauline Lundberg is the surprise of the day, I see her knitting in her old rocking chair, mum bling, "Why didn't I accept that first offer?" Looking out of the dear old ladies' windows, a brightly lighted sign " Pope's Popular Paradise," could be seen. Inside, industrious Mi ldred Pope, the owner, was presenting an entertainment which was pleasing the crowd. Barbara Goodwin is doing a ballet dance, while fair Aurelia Sousa accompanied her on the piano. Among the prominent people seated at the tables was the "mayoress" of the city, dark eyed Lorraine Forgays and wil lowy Anna Stanchfield, her able right hand "man." Just cleaning up the water which sedate "Joe" Brennan spilled, while gazing around to see who was there, was tall, blonde Althea Gorham, the waitress. Clarrisa Putnam, the society leader, is at another table telling starry-eyed Gertrude Shep herd what she would have done if she had been in Mrs. Wally Simpson's place. Our attention is again turned to the stage, where diminuative Eu nice House and Shirley Butterfield, dressed as two little school gi rls, recall tender memories, as they sing "Strolling On The Campus of C. H. S." S ixly-six In a nearby dress shop owned by the Parisian stylist, Mildred Burton, petite Gena Pettazoni is being dressed in white satin and orange blossoms. Auburn-haired Betty Olsson, a famous dressmaker is fitting the gown. Grave and serious Helen Mi lls, the latest addition to the minister's profes sion, is rehearsing the wedding ceremony, while Esther Smith, a brides maid, is standing near a mirror, fussing about the shade of her dress, which she says isn't becoming to her. ln another part of the store, bois terous Esther Angus is trying to sell a sport dress to Loretta Archibald for her to wear on the ship next time she goes abroad. On the shore of a well-known beach was seen a modern novelty ship. Illonde, stalwart Dot LeClaire was trying to interest some of the bathers, Ilazel Davis, and Helen Fadden, in a contraption which was supposed to keep them from sinking. Under a large beach umbrella, so she wouldn't get the least bit of sunburn was Katherine Trubey. ln the water, nymph like Emily Santos was teaching Eugenia Ki sley, an old-maid school teacher, trying the water for the first time, how to swim. While from a near by diving board, the Olympic star, E velyn Pcte,·son, was demonstrating a swan dive. Tiny Don Bachelder is driving an electric car to a big football game between Gus' Eleven and Kras' Sloppy team. Gus Golubisky is the water boy for Gus' Eleven a nd Magan Krasnecki is the own e1· of the other high powered outfit. Going to the game, effici ent, Bill Hill is accompanied by his tall secretary, Clara Corr. Leon Shugrue is cover ing the game (not with a blanket) for the North Chelmsford Bia. Nick Capuano, the peanut vendor, is selling his stock here. Next is "Question Box" Rachel Burns who sits in a box all by herself so thaL she can enjoy the game. Vi vacious Thelma Corr, the beauty expert, is a lso present. The game is about to start a nd looking around we see silent Waite!" Bellville, the great tractor magnate, who invented a tractor of 22 speeds with the help of mechanics, pale Peter Makey a nd diminutive Frank Wood head. His chauffeur, Carl Brown, has just cavorted into the part with the referee, "Hush-up" Wa lter Polley. Down the street five blocks, a teachers convention, or "kids' holiday," is in progress. Chet Mi ll man, the quiet chairman, is just calling the meet ing to order. Ma ry Scollan and harsh Edith Alcorn from the Cowlot Gram ma r School have j ust entered. Dot Jones, local supervisor of music, leads the singing. Nedra Sleeper, the great artist, is also present. Shieky Pete Bor rows is hanging around hoping to get a date with one of the 1000 teachers at the convention. Dynamic Frances Kelley and tiny Barban•. Swanson, two athletic teachers, are at the convention. Coming around the corner in a nice car bor rowed by vigorous Charl ton Boyd, is a group of men who have just graduated from college after 10 years of struggling. Brief J ack Hill, and grinning John Brotz are mem bers. Roy Clough. the boy who thought he was Tarzan, has changed his views af ter a battle with blonde Dick Pearson. Smooth J ohn Calder has just finished the aviators' course. Close behind them is thin a nd strong· arm Edgar George, r iding on a motorcycle watching the speedsters. At home the wife, (S.
