Back Side Front Cover ................................................................................ THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD By Lewis J. Thistle, 1918 Memorials to our English
High Alumni war dead have inspired generations of undergraduates to study,
work, and live, for the ideals for which these men gave their lives: to
make this a better city, a better nation, a better world. Inscribed on the
boulder that lies on the lawn in front of the school are these words:
Older graduates pause
here on reunion day in May to gaze on this boulder and think of Frank
Austin (Class of 1917) and their other classmates killed in France and on
the high seas forty-five years ago.
Proudly he
stands, an inspiration to the students who visit the library each day.
Salvaged from the fire that destroyed English High in 1924 it is a fitting
relic from the old school.
On the death
of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, the students were quick to send
a donation to the Kennedy Memorial Library in Boston. Moreover, they also
felt it appropriate that books in his memory should be on our own shelves
beside those of his fallen comrades of the English High Alumni. This the
students have done and plan to continue doing through an annual drive each
year on the anniversary of his death. We are proud of the inspiration that
our students derive from the English High School Memorial Library.
I wish to welcome all af
you here tonight, and hope you all have a very pleasant evening, renewing
old acquaintances, seeing the top notch entertainment in the auditorium
after the dinner, and also going to your respective reunion parties after
the festivities here at the school have ended.
WHEREAS seventy-five years ago the Lynn English High School in the year 1889 graduated its first class; and WHEREAS shortly thereafter these young graduates formed an organization for the purpose, as they said, "of getting together each year to foster fellowship and continue friendships started at English High School"; and WHEREAS from this beginning with thirty-one members they have grown until today, with ever increasing graduates af the school including their children and their children's children, they have become the largest and strongest secondary school associatian in the United States; and WHEREAS through the inspiration af their lives in peace and war and their generosity in establishing scholarships and gifts to their alma mater they have motivated three generations of undergraduates at the school to pursue their education diligently to make this a better city, a better nation, and a better world: Now, THEREFORE, I, M. HENRY WALL, Mayor of the City af Lynn, on the occasion of their 75th anniversary, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 10, 1964, as Diamond Jubilee Week of the Lynn English High School Alumni Association. I request officials of the city government, and I urge all citizens and interested organizations to use all appropriate means during the week to assist the programs and activities of this organizatian to the end that we may assure for the benefit of the people of Lynn in the years to come the continuing strength and well-being of the Lynn English High School Alumni Association. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Lynn to be affixed. DONE at the Executive Chambers at the City Hall in Lynn, Massachusetts, this fifth day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-four and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-eighth.

The first class was
graduated from Lynn English High School in 1889 and so they became the
first alumni of Lynn English High School. The first President of the
Alumni Association was elected April 22, 1891. This meeting was held at
Exchange Hall on Market Street. The Hall was profusely decorated. There
was a reception, banquet and dance. Miss Alice Sawtell, '89 was chairman
of the meeting. After much discussion a constitution was adopted and the
following officers elected: President, William T. Reed, '89; First
Vice-President, Flora Hinds, '90; Second Vice-President, Alice Sawtell,
'89'; Secretary, Anna Clark, '89; Treasurer, Chester King, '90; and

forward to our 75th anniversary (Diamond Jubilee) on this May 16th, 1964
which will undoubtedly be an outstanding event in the history of the Lynn
English High School Alumni. With over 21,000 graduates plus another 10,000
who attended but did not complete their terms, we have an alumni of
over 30,000 strong to keep our organization vigorous and progressive. We
are the second oldest but most active of all high school alumni in this
part of the country. It is a fine tribute to see so many classes
represented at one reunion. This loyalty deserves recognition. We
earnestly hope that more history will be added to what has already been
recorded, that will prove the future of the students of L.E.H.S. will be
In the beginning, there were baseball, football, bicycle racing and roller polo. No tennis, no golf, but running and jumping and, of course, military service. At the age of 75, Lynn English High is two years older than the game of basketball and four years older than ice hockey as played in this country. Early sports at Lynn English have been buried by the years, like the origins of man, although now and then an artifact is uncovered, or a fossilized score of an early game. When housed under one roof after Old English High was built in 1892, boys taking college (Classical) and commercial (English) courses played on the same teams, except when they divided into camps and fought it out for supremacy of the establishment. Albert Cain, 1902 track captain, remembers a combined English-Classical team arriving at Waltham with only ten men. Waltham was then a long journey, and most boys worked Saturdays. But when they met on Thanksgiving Day - at Ocean Park - both had full teams as English won Cain recalls - 5-0. The results of the earliest games still await discovery by some determined reseacher. English High athletics apparently became distinctive only after Classical seceded from the union by moving into its own building on the Common in 1911. The formal record of the annual football game begins with the contest of 1911, which Classical was fortunate enough to win, 13 to 2. Balky Boyson coached both teams, an arrangement that would not be tolerated today. In even the sketchiest history of English High sports, these teams must be singled out: The 1930 football team - unbeaten, untied and regarded as the State champion. Players included Tony Geniawicz, George Moriarty, Herman Hussey, Art Jannell, Roger McArthur and George Nicketakis. Coach: Tom Whelan. The 1937 baseball team - State champion. Among the players were Jim Hegan, Ray Bessom, Tom Whelan Jr., Angie Nicketakis and Walter McManus. Coach: Tom Whelan. The 1956 hockey team - State champion. Leading players included Tippy Johnson, Dick Pinch, Don Pinch, Don Spinney, Ernie Carpenter, Junior Harwood. Coach: Harold (Red) Foote. The 1939 basketball team - only Lynn team to win the Tech Tourney. Angie Nicketakis, voted outstanding player, Capt. Abe Russell and Harold Bryant excelled. Coach: Tom Whelan. Under Everett Fransen, English won several State gymnastic titles. Under Lew Thistle, the 1948 track team was State outdoor runnerup. English had some good crews, 1919-36, under Dennis Dinneen. Twice in 17 years under Dave Barry, the baseball team reached but lost the State final. English lost the Tech Tourney final to Fitchburg in 1931, 23 to 21; and the 1964 team, led by Charlie Campbell, was a narrow loser. English's first athletic family has borne the name of Whelan. Tom Sr. was first an all-round athlete, then a winning coach 1926-42, and finally principal 1942-57. Besides his brother Gus and various first and second cousins, his three sons were stars - Tom Jr., who played first base for Yale; Bobby, who played with Harry Agganis at Boston University, and Billy, football captain at Cornell. English has produced such big league baseball players as Bernie Friberg, Bump Hadley, Jim Hegan, Tom Whelan and Buck Burke ... A baskeball player in Lou Tsiropoulis, good enough to excel for Kentucky and the Boston Celtics ... A high jumper in Larry McGovern, springy enough to win at the Penn Relays ... Any number of football players who became college stars, such as Art Boland and Billy Whelan at Cornell, Carl Palombo at Penn, Harry Arlanson, Charlie and Dick Hingston, Sammy Clayman and Fred Kennedy at Tufts, Bobby Whelan at Boston University, Oscar and Eddie Johnson at Vermont, Geniawicz at Dartmouth, Hussey at Fordham and Moriarty at Notre Dame. Older alumni think fondly of such names as Dodo Frazier, Jud Cutler, Pop Paradise, Spike Gannon, Leo Hannaway, Larry Kelly, Warren Deshon and Gene Pare. Younger graduates think - and they may be right - there were none better than Tippy Johnson, Charlie Long, Bob Upton, Charlie Ruddock, Art Boland; Jim Leonard, George Lundstedt, Ed Carpenter and Vinny Jarvis. English High athletics have endured fires, changes of address, a great variety of coaches, a change of nickname from Red and Gray to Bulldogs, and the mercifully brief death-to-sports merger of 1961. With good coaching and faculty encouragement, there is no doubt that the old school will continue to field respectable teams, league leaders and an occasional State champions as it has often enough in the past.

energetic members of the L. E. H. S. Alumni was L. Henry Whittredge.
'Henry' as he was known to many was a great
organizer and he rallied the Alumni to become more active and have greater
participation in all of the school activities.
George H. Cary was
principal during our schools years. The graduation exercises were held
Thursday, June 26, 1890. Dr. J. G. Pinkham, Chairman of the School Board,
presented diplomas. Lieut. Harry E. Sawtell led a drill, "Manual of Arms,"
and led a squad of cadets from the high school. Orations were given by
William T. Reed, Frank C. Gilmore, Mills Hoyt, George H. Lewis and Philip
A. Kiely.
Labor Overcomes All
How swiftly the fleeting years roll by and yet how vivid are some of the incidents of our school days and how we cherish the acquaintances and friendships made so many years ago. It seems hardly possible that thirty-nine years have elapsed since our graduation. Our class was the last class to graduate from the old Blossom Street School which we shared with the primary grades which occupied the first floor. None of the modern facilities of gym or laboratory were ours. Any laboratory tests or experiments in physics were performed in the old shed in the school yard with materials furnished by the pupils. Some have journeyed on that long last journey from which there is no returning. Others have carried on in the political, professional and business world and in the various walks of life. Of the graduating class the Grim Reaper has taken from our midst; May B. Goudey, Harry P. Swett, John H. Mudgett, Edith A. Blanchard, Alfred L. Hastings, Charles P. Mudge, Ruel L. Hanson, Maude Williams, Ethel M. Ramsdell, Mabel A. Larrabee and Florence I. Taylor. In politics, Harry P. Swett (now deceased), and Richard L. Fitzgerald, have been honored by their constituents with service in the City Government, and Charles F. Cotter for many years a successful shoe manufacturer, and Leon E. Thompson, for many years secretary of the School Committee, have served with distinction on our School Board. In the field of medicine, Dr. Roy L. Bartlett has for many years been stationed at the Oneida County Hospital, Rome, N. Y, and Elizabeth Kiley at the Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D. C. Daniel W. Gallagher has gained renown as a writer and newspaperman, his last-known field was with the Cleveland News, Cleveland, Ohio. William A. Grover was last heard from as City Engineer, Dover (N. H.), and R. Elwin Neilly was stationed at the Maine University of Music at Portland (Me.), while Helen M. Austin, now Mrs. Dr. Goddard, was doing missionary work at Shawshing (China). Frank Batchelder, with the Murray Rubber Company, Trenton (N. J.), Herbert H. Merrill, with the American Woolen Company, Lawrence (Mass.), Bertha M. McCall with the Hunter Mfg. Company, New York City, and Frank C. Reed of Powers & Reed, this city, have been actively engaged in business pursuits. Elizabeth A. Ladd (Mrs. Neldon A. Shafner) is now a resident of Milwaukee (Wisc.), Matta Lotta (Mrs. Argo), is now located in Rushville (Neb.), and Charles E. White claims Oak Park (Ill.), as his home.
The boys and girls (a
little larger grown) of '93, will retrace and scan some footprints of
Our graduation exercises
were held in June, consisting of the largest class up to that time: one
hundred and thirty-four graduates.
At our commencement, or graduation as it was then known, Walter S.
Parker, Superintendent of Schools of Boston delivered the principal
address. The valedictorian was Robert H. Newcomb. Among the graduates
were: Albert S. Badger, now cashier at the National City Bank; Chades W.
Bowen, now with the W. J. Young Machine Co.; Bernice A. Carr, now a Lynn
School teacher; Francis Cusick, attorney; Richard Cutt, Renton Heel Co.;
Shirley G. Ellis, a famous Harvard football player, now located in New
Rochelle, N. Y.; Winifred Doyle Goddard, Dr. Geo. B. Foster, Theresa M.
Manning, the Mayor's secretary, Dr. James H. Shillington, Robert H.
Newcomb, publicity agent, Boston and Maine Railroad; Ida Seymour Nelson,
class representative; Robert D. Phillips, General Electric.
"Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief, Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief." Assuredly these must all
be included in the Class of 1897, although failing to locate the "Indian
Chief," I am forced to admit that he may have been used by the rhymester
to meet the exigencies of his trade. A still further search of the
graduation list fails to reveal a Doctor or a Lawyer in it. Really, I do
not know any very rich man, and I submit that no one could be poor with
memory of associations with a class such as ours. Probably the allusion to
"Beggar Man" is just figurative, and I know that the only "Thief" is that
girl who stole the heart of her partner in connubial bliss. To the discard
with this imperfect plan of classification - and there isn't time and
space anyway. A Tribute to Many loyal members of L.
E. H. S. Alumni will always remember 'Josie' as she is known to all, as
our perpetual treasurer. She assumed the duties of Alumni treasurer when
her predecessor, Mildred Stromstedt, was taken ill. This turned out to be
a job that lasted for over 33 years. She handled the funds of the Alumni
very efficiently. Josie retired recently and we would like to take this
opportunity to publicly thank her for an outstanding job well done.

The representative class
of dear old English High School. The President of the Alumni Association
and the Corresponding Secretary, are, of course members of the Class of
'99. To our beloved members who have passed to the great beyond, numbering
about eight, we bow our heads in prayer.
It does not seem possible
that thirty one years have passed since we assembled on the platform of
the old English High School building, listened to the presentation of
the class gift, heard the valedictory, received our diplomas from the
hands of our beloved principal, Charles S. Jackson, sang the parting hymn,
said farewell to each other, promised never to forget
but to meet in reunion at least one each year.
There were
109 members in the graduating class of 1901. Available information places
the total living membership at 88, of whom 54 reside in Greater Lynn. The
whereabouts of five are unknown.
Instead of recounting incidents of the past, I have decided to give a resume of the class as of the present. It is with deep regret that I have to report the loss of the following by death: Lizzie A. Lewis, Elizabeth M. Hart, William A. Ellis, George A Hill, Royal E. Bailey, William F. Coen, Carrie B. Chandler, John A. McCarthy, Harold E. Richards, Charles H. Walker, Leon H. Wentworth, Lillian F. Bond and Edna K. Davis. The intellectuality of our class is attested by the following teachers: Alexa M. Anthony, Katherine F. Cahill, Isabella O'Brien MacLean, Americanizatian Division; May V. Williams, Ralph W. Babb, director Continuation School; Thomas H. Griffin, Jr., Gertrude Connor, Principal Bruce School; and Eber Wells. In the business world we have the following as executives, partners, etc.: Clarence A. Perkins, The J. O. Whitten Co., of Winchester, Mass.; Ronald Bruce, American Telephone and Telegraph Company of New York ; Charles E. Davis, John S. Caldwell, Francis J. Green, Herbert C. Remick, Louis E. Zurbach, Bertha M. Dickinson, Charles F. Gard, Laura G. Murray, Ernest A. Brown, Albert E. Cain, Rena B. Smith. Among our engineers are: Robert D. Thomson, Homer D. Ricker, George Needham, Warren D. Lewis, and Lawrence Newhall. The list of homemakers contains the following names: Mrs. Bertha (Cann) Dennis, Mrs. Ethel (Allen) Shaw, Mrs. Harriet (Jameson) Caldwell, Mrs. Ida (Maguire) Thayer, Mrs. Florence (Merrill) Patton, Mrs. Irene (Bond) Wright, Mrs. Marion (Pickford) Woodman, Mrs. Marrion (Pilling) Fiske, Mrs. Elsie (Reno) Stacey, Mrs. Gertrude (Vaughan) Bailey, Mrs. Lillian (Walden) Eldred, Mrs. Persis (Fish) Stacey, Mrs. Alice (Pearce) Curtis, Mrs. Florence (Chaffee) Barron, Mrs. Agnes (Cunningham) Hogan, Mrs. Katherine (Smith) Santry, Mrs. Frances (Byron) Nudgett, Mrs. Helen (Fitz) Burbank, Mrs. Lulu (Folkins) Dow, Mrs. Marion (Fish) Ellis, Mrs. Marion (Fay) Brown, Mrs. Edith (Mooney) Coughlin, Mrs. Prudence (Hewitt) Mansfield, Mrs. Alice (Ham) Bohaker, Mrs. Catherine (Hart) Rogers, Mrs. Shirley (Spurr) Fischer, Mrs. Winifred (Smith) Blatchford, Mrs. Marrione (Foss) Perkins, Mrs. Mary Newhall) Connell, Mrs. Annie (Strout) Howe, and Mrs. Gertrude (Vaughan) Bailey. The business records and correspondence are safe in the hands of Alice B. Barton, Grace G. Cunningham, Helen L. Hazeltin, Maude M. Quimby, Rosella Le Colst, Catherine Crowley, Marie Poupperville, Grace Hutchins, Ethel A. Judkins, Mary Shepard and Margaret F. Murphy. In the newspaper field, we have Charles Guy Frost of the Lynn Item and William E. Johnston, cartoonist of the Lynn Telegram-News. Traveling salesmen seem to be a little scarce as we have only two: C. Harry Hannaford and Albert E. Cain. We have only one attorney, James A. Colby. Alice M. Ryan is reported as in Cincinnati, Ohio. Adelbert P. Shaw was for 25 years with the General Electric Co. in Textile Motors Division, until very recently. George S. Cummings was with the General Electric Co. since graduation. Miss Eugenie Goss is investigator in Division of Child Guardianship at the State House, Boston. Emma Clare Cate is a practicing nurse in St. Petersburg, Florida. Frank W. Lufkin, Medford, is a draughtsman in Boston. Our one foreman seems to be William S. Thomas at the G. E. Co. One of our best known graduates is R. Guy Northey, chief clerk in the Lynn Water Department. Information is lacking as to the following: Kate B. Richards, Sarah B. Smith, William H. Wright, Ethel M. Wilson, Edmund F. Fader (our class president), Francis O. Alton, Horace B. Pratt, Cora I. Burnside, Josephine M. Fitz, Theresa Gambetski, Walter J. Grady, Annie E. Hanley, Florence B. Hyde, Ralph E. James, and Elizabeth V. Morrison. Any news about the above named would be appreciated by the writer.
Twenty-eight years ago one hundred and seven ambitious and aspiring young
graduates (namely, the Class 1903) were turned loose on an unsuspecting
but receptive public. As was natural, many different vocations and
professions were chosen by the individual members for their future work.
Some of those who chose teaching and are among our best school teachers of
the present day are: Sue Alexander, Irena Day, Mildred Graham, Agnes Barry
who is now in the religious life, and Emily McVann who before her marriage
taught in Lynn. Many others are today proud mothers of families. Sadie
McFarland, Lillian McKie, Ethel Phillips, Florence Barnes, Beatrice
(Delaney) Melanson, Ida Hasell and others have chosen this profession.
In 1929 the
Class of 1904 celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary which was largely
attended. Diplomas especially made for the occasion giving each member
credit for having completed a twenty-five year course in the "University
of Life," were presented to all the old grads. Some of the members of this
class were: Bertha Dearborn Usher, Atty. Earl C. Jacobs and his wife, Mrs.
Maude Goodwin Jacobs; Harry A. White, manager of Harding's store; Lotta
Wentworth Stevenson, Mrs. Ira J. Haskell (the former Lillian R Rogers),
Mrs. Louise Currier, attorney; Charles R. Thomson (shoe manufacturer),
Irene McEntee, Mary B. Hart (wife of Dr. Frederick J. McIntire), Miss
Theresa D. Chaffardon (treasurer Jean Chaffardon, Inc., tanners'
supplies), Agnes Conway Mahoney (Lynn Institution for Savings), Willard N.
Donovan (D. S. Internal Revenue Service), Harry E. Down, Harry L. Farnham
(Eastern Underwriters executive), Dr. Everett Lamkin, Harold W. Poole
(skiving manufacturer), Frank J. McHugh (monument manufacturer), Philip T.
O'Keefe (interior decorator in Boston), Joseph P. Madden, Irene Granger
Humphrey, Herbert P. Bruce (N. E. Insurance Exchange executive), Robert
McKeigue, Harold C. Whitmore, Margaret Sargent Hudson, Helena Searles
McIntire, Maude Sisson Robertson, Edith Hicks, Florence Mansfield Burke,
Mrs. Fred W. Oliver, Mrs. Helena O. McIntyre, Wesley E. Stetson, Bertha S.
Langworthy, Pearl Gowell, "Ted" Collins (Division Engineer, B. & M. R
R), Helen E. McNault.
1906 Our class, 1906, was the
last to have both three and four-year courses for after this graduation
both Commercial and Manual Training Courses were made four years.
In 1906 the School
Committee of the City of Lynn changed the course of the Lynn English High
School from three years to four years. All of the 1906 class who desired
could either graduate and get their diploma in 1906 or take another year
of schooling and secure their diploma in 1907.
There were eighty-seven
graduates in the 1908 Class. This was the largest graduating class since
the courses had been made four years in length. At the opening of our
senior year Lester Furbush was elected president of the class, and Helen
Frost, vice-president. During the first three years the battalions of the
Lynn High Schools, Gloucester and Chelsea had each year a joint field day,
but at the beginning of our senior year the School Committee decided to
eliminate this procedure. This was a great disappointment to many of the
pupils. A regiment was then formed of the Classical and English
In the year 1905, two
hundred and thirty ambitious youngsters gathered in high school hall to
start on the last four years of their public school education.
The "housing problem" is
nothing new! Lynn English High School began to feel the want of room in
1908, when, in September, 1912, entered the school on the hill.
Largest Class in the History of the Lynn English High School to Graduate on June 20th. 144 Will Receive Diplomas. How this headline
thrilled us back in 1913 when we were getting ready for the biggest event
that had happened in most of our lives up to that time, and how happy, yet
how sad we were as we met for the last time as a class one hundred per
cent strong. It would be impossible to follow each member of the class
through the years, yet how interesting if we could but do so.
On June 22, the Class of
1914 graduated from the Lynn English High School. There were 127 graduates
in the class.
The Class of 1916
consisted of one hundred and seventy-five graduates. The graduation
exercises were held in the Lynn English High School hall on Monday
evening, June 26, 1916. The Hon. George H. Newhall presented the diplomas
to the graduates. The class officers were : John Archie Graham, President;
Francis Henry Cullen, Vice-President; Telford R. Jones, Treasurer;
Madeline Collyer, Secretary. The Valedictory address was given by
Glenn K. Marquay. Words for the class hymn were written by Rachael E.
Crowley, and the music was composed by Rilla Kellam. CLASS OF
1917 It is with considerable
hesitation that this correspondent, to style myself as a noted writer in
one of our Boston dailies is wont to do, approaches the task of writing a
few words for this, our Class Reunion Book.
This is the
class that came and went with Principal George E. Davis who is now in
Cincinnati, Ohio. CLASS OF
1920 On a bright
and balmy September day, the Class of 1920 commenced its career at English
High School, unmindful of the cosmic forces at work that brought about the
declaration of war by this country against the German government and its
allies, a little more than six months later. And one of the first of our
class to hear the call to arms was Bernard Kelly, who joined the U. S.
Marine Corps. The excitement of those days caused by the raging
conflagration now set all our nerves a tingle; everyone was busy doing
something for the cause. One hundred and three Red Cross bags were
abundantly filled and sent to the boys across the sea; hundreds of Liberty
Bonds were subscribed to and thousands of dollars were raised, in fact,
even our freshman social was turned into a Red Cross show and the proceeds
donated to Red Cross organizations. In the summers of 1917 and 1918 many
of the boys in our class volunteered to relieve the farm labor shortage,
and the first unit organized under the leadership of Coach Harry Dame
spent the season on the Sorosis Farms in Marblehead, while the last group
organized by the genial teacher of physics, W. G. Tucker, spent the summer
and fall at Littleton.
The Class
of 1921 celebrates this year the tenth anniversary of its graduation from
Lynn English High School.
In the
short space of nine years since we received our diplomas on the stage of
the Waldorf Theatre, a great many changes have taken place in our class.
Several of our number are established in successful enterprises and are
proving how profitable were the years they spent at English High.
Eight years ago. No, just a few days ago diligent boys and girls in their teens passed another significant milestone in their career. A bow and a diploma and then - life for the English High School Class of 1923. Out into the post-war days they went. Where are they today? What did they find in that future which was always held before them? Long years or short ones, which have they been? Well, in retrospect we can picture them as gay lads and lassies, but in the reality of the business and professional world we can see them as useful men and women - scores of them who have conquered that near future and who are on the brink of a greater future. In checking up with the records we find that the following occupations are being followed by our classmates: accountants, advertising men, agriculturalists, airplane pilots, amusement promoters, appraisers, architects, artists, attorneys, auctioneers, auditors, automobile dealers, bookkeepers, bakers, bankers, barbers, barrel dealers, beauty specialists, blacksmiths, boat builders, bootblacks, brick manufacturers, brokers, builders, cabinet makers, carpenters, caterers, chemists, civil engineers commercial photographers, contractors, dentists, designers, druggists, electrical engineers, elocution teachers, florists, ice dealers, insurance men, jewelers, musicians, newspaper correspondents, nurses, optometrists, physicians, plumbers, printers, real estate men, shoe men, teachers and stenographers. That list tells the story more than all the words which we might place in this book We might have abbreviated the entire history with one word - Success. Whether baker or broker those boys and girls of the days of '23 carry the banner of success, for after all, our baker is just as essential as our broker.
Class of
1924 members have gone far in many fields since graduation day seven years
ago. School years over, the majority of them are busy fighting the daily
battles of life. Although many are located in distant cities nearly all
members of the class have maintained their ties with old English.
The Class
of '1925" of English High School was just like a good many other
classes that had gone before. It was an average class as classes go, but
to the members of '25, it was the class.
Lynn English High School should be justly proud of the graduating Class of 1926, which in the short span of five years has already brought fame to Lynn English and to the Alumni Association. Of our famous class some entered matrimony. The majority sought their places in the business world. A large percentage matriculated at some local or distant college. Many of the last have received their degrees. Hilda Trigg was our outstanding scholar and valedictorian. After four years at one of our largest banks, Miss Trigg left to become secretary to George Nihan, director of the Boys' Club. Helen Colby, judged one of the sweetest girls of her class, is a graduate nurse. Joseph Stevenson is still perusing the values and next year will find our future sky-pilot at the Boston University School of Theology. Not all our graduates have remained to seek fame and success in our beautiful city. A few of those who are making their homes outside Lynn include: Virginia Jacobs at our Nation's Capital; Ken Ackerly and Josephine Chester, now married, of course, at Chicago; Harold Sliter, with the Fox Film Company at Buffalo, N. Y. Belle Baker has a responsible position wth the New England Telephone Company. Bob Cowan, who is now married, is with the Boston & Maine Railroad. John Arena is reputed to be the right hand man for one of Lynn's famous eye and ear doctor. Gerald Chesley, after graduating from Springfield College, returns to the home city to accept a position at the local Y. M. C. A. Time and space do not allow me to write about each and every graduate, but I shall endeavor to inform you as to the doings of a few of our classmates. Ken Taylor, our class president, is still an athlete of note. Blanche Goldthwaite is contributing much to the social world as a dramatic reader and coach. Mary Hallissey is married and located in Delaware. Mary Day has promised to honor and obey and has migrated to New Hampshire. Evelyn Tracy is still following the stage and is pleasing her audiences. Joan Mulligan has the reputation of being quite an artist. Ken Brown is at the General Electric. Warren Blood is at the Hoague Sprague Corporation. Sam Dillaway still plays his trusty saxophone. Mal Billows and Ned Cody are still performing as athletes. In my effort to give you a brief survey of what your classmates are doing, I would like to take this opportunity in behalf of the class of "26" to wish one and all of the graduates success and happiness in the coming years.
During the
short space of four years, members of the graduating Class of 1927 have
not yet had time to astound the business world or the professions with any
feats, but many are preparing for successful careers that will bring
credit and glory to themselves and to the English High School.
Just three years ago a procession of pupils, three hundred strong, marched from the Lynn English High School to the Olympia Theatre, and were gracefully and honorably discharged from further duties at the school, and thrust upon a cold world to prosper as they might. Surely all the '28 classmates remember that. It may seem good to live again in mind and spirit our school days. As Freshman, under the leadership of Miss Hatch: Alas, I'm afraid our lowly title made it difficult for us to assume our rightful position in the Sun. As Juniors, under the leadership of Miss Stier: We can visualize once more our drama, "The Four Flusher," with Miss Shepherd behind the "wings" prompting some forgetful "Barrymore." Remember Lucille Thrasher, our leading lady; "Joe" Faney, our leading man; June Heftye, Elizabeth Parker, Marjorie Hoyt, "Bob" Starr, Leo Hennessey, George Parsons and the rest of the cast? Recall the Junior Prom where merriment held sway until a late hour? As Seniors, under Mrs. Parkhurst: A series of never - to - be - forgotten events. "She Stoops to Conquer," our drama, was a big success with such artists as Marjorie Hoyt, Elizabeth Parker, Marion Rich, "Norm" Hicks, Byron Gower, "Joe" Faney, George Parsons, "Bill" Barrett and many others. "Mickey" Legro bashfully stepped out to lead us in the grand march at the Senior Prom. Then there were club meetings, picnics, pictures and finally our class banquet. After graduation, in the fall our reunion dance was a huge success, and now, every year we have the opportunity of meeting again at these Annual Alumni Banquets. It has been gratifying to see so many '28 classmates return every year to these affairs, but there should be a lot more. Of course, it is understood why some can't attend; such as George Parsons being in Annapolis, "Norm" Hicks in Washington, "Wallie" Dow at Springfield College, Byron Gowe at Syracuse, and many others in distant places. Last year there were approximately fifty '28 members at the banquet which is a fairly good representation, but let's start with the next one and have two or three times that number present "just for old times sake."
Time has
been too short, as yet, for the Class of 1929 to take the important
executive positions and undertake the large engineering problems that are
its birthright. Although most of our classmates have faith in the
abilities acquired at English High to enable them to reach their goal, a
few less optomistic grads are struggling away at higher institutions. CLASS OF
The Class of Champions - New England Champion football team - Class champions in baseball - Regional Champions in basketball, entered in the Tech Tourney - State Track Champions. The largest class ever to graduate from English. The Last Class graduated from Old English. The highest score against Classical on Turkey Day - 47-0. Still standing after 33 years. Large numbers do not always assure quality but in this case quality was the rule. Headed by president Tony Geniawicz (God rest his soul and all other classmates deceased) they left the stage of the Old Olympia Theatre to the strains of "Loves Old Sweet Song" to face the world in its worst depression. But not before Principal Williard had presented awards to Edith Ankers, Thelma Axelrod, Eleanor Paster. Mayor J. Fred Manning presented the diplomas. Not one scholarship was available on that day for the students of English, even though many were qualified. Our invited guests that day included Mrs. Thomas J. Whelan and the late Thomas J. Whelan. Mr. Whelan was the coach of the many champion teams and his assistant coach, Ralph Farnum, who was also Assistant Principal. Vera Ambrose, our class advisor and our many wonderful teachers. Lean years were in store for the Class but they were well prepared and carried through into World War II with its many sons and daughters serving well. Through the years the members of the Class distinguished themselves as fathers and mothers - 200 sons, 218 daughters. At the 25th Reunion they were still adding to the total. You name the job and the profession and our class was represented with priests, ministers, lawyers, members of the State Department, teachers, labor representatives, doctors, coaches, machinists, postal clerks, firemen, truck drivers, police officers, bartenders, etc. Remembering well its own graduation and the limited opportunity to go to college and the complete lack of scholarships the class and its leaders on its 25th anniversary set out to make the Permanent Scholarship Fund of the Alumni a reality. They made a cash contribution to the fund and elected Leo Wallace as their representative to carry on the task. As president of the Alumni Association from 1959-1960, Mr. Wallace in his term of office was able to report the job completed and the $10,000 Alumni Scholarship reached.
On September 7, 1931, 542 anxious teenagers entered the new English High School to become the "Class of 1932" and have the distinction of being the first graduating class from the new high school. The school year held no big moments for we were a quiet and studious class. The height of the depression in 1932 was upon us and many of us would hurry home from school to some small job that would bring in a little money to help supplement our parents meager earnings. Before the school year was over, 62 students had left, not because they wanted to, but through necessity. Today, we call these pupils "classmates" and they belong to our class just as though they had graduated with us. On June 15, 480 students received their diplomas and started out to make their way into the world. Jobs were few, due to the depression which had the entire country in a turmoil. Many joined the C.C.C., others went on the W.P.A. and many didn't find jobs for quite some time. It was a year of hardships and adversities. We overcame two major obstacles, World War II and the depression ended. Jobs became more plentiful and the years started to look up. Many changes and additions took place and our way of living increased for the better. Twenty-five years later, a committee was formed to reunite our class and on May 19, 1957, 440 of us met for the most enjoyable reunion ever held. It was a social as well as a tremendous financial success. Our reunion committee led by Chairman John H. Cann and Barbara Foster Kearney as cochairman, plus 34 members of the class worked diligently and well. To this day, no other class has come near the amount of money which the "depression class" collected. We only asked for a $5.00 donation and what we did with that five has made history. Our private class party at the Thomson Club, buffet, band, giving out 81 gifts for achievements through the years, souvenir books and pens, donating $250 to the library, presented an oil portrait and communion plate in memory of former principal Thomas Whelan to the school, and from 1957 to 1961 we awarded 7 scholarships. Quite an accomplishment and record, don't you think? Again, 5 years later we met on May 16, 1962. 120 attended the 30th reunion and once again money poured in from all our classmates and graduates. Another outstanding record was set. Our scholarship fund grew and two more scholarships were awarded, plus ceramic scholarette trophies were given to the recipients as a momento of their achievement. This year the Lynn English High School Alumni celebrates its "Diamond Jubilee, the 75th anniversary and our class has come through with flying colors. Letters are being received daily from all over the United States. The Class of 1932 will have a Gold page ad in the outstanding souvenior book to congratulate the Alumni and to salute Our classmate, Ernest R. Lamoureaux, who is president of the Alumni. The cover of the book was designed by classmate, Ed C. Gorski and all the photographic work was accomplished by James W. Greenlaw, another classmate. Maybe you have wondered where our class has scattered to, well, here are a few statistics. 251 never left Lynn; 76 are in the neighborhood of Salem, Saugus, Nahant, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Peabody, Cliftondale and Swampscott; 76 reside in other parts of Massachusetts. Living in Arizona, 1; Alabama, 2; California, 17; Connecticut, 3; Delaware, 1; Florida, 9; Georgia, 2; Maine, 8; Maryland, 3; Michigan, 1; Nebraska, 1; New Hampshire, 14; New Jersey, 4; New Mexico, 1; New York, 15; North Carolina, 2; Ohio, 5; Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Rhode Island, 4; Texas, 3; Virginia, 3; Washington, D. C., 1; Nova Scotia, 1, and Arabia 1. Thirty-five members have left us for the great beyond and I'm sure today they are looking down upon us saying "God bless you all." When our 35th arrives in 1967, I'm sure we will still be leading the way for other classes to follow because, as our slogan goes, "The Class of 1932 is the class that sticks together," and stick we will. When the call goes out again, The Class of '32 will come through with flying colors. I consider it a privilege to have been a member of this wonderful class. See you all at the 35th, if not, the 40th or 45th but definitely the 50th. See you then, God willing.
Act III of
our life's drama continues onward with our classmates going forward into
all phases of life.
The year
was 1932 and the month was September and what was to be the class of 1935
ascended the bridge known as Lynn English High School. The bridge leading
from youth to manhood and womanhood. The years at Lynn English were happy
and constructive. Studies tempered with social activities and athletics
made one and all a well-rounded individual. June 1935 came all too soon,
and the 547 graduates of the class of 1935 left the halls of Lynn English
to go their separate ways on the highway of life. What was the year 1935
like? W.P.A. and N.R.A. were created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to
provide work relief. German rearmament began. Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't
Happen Here" was a best seller. "Lights Out" was a popular song hit. The
future for the class of 1935 certainly looked ominous. CLASS OF
1940 We all are blind until we see And thus my closing
thoughts to the Dreamers of 1940 are to continue to dream - and work - and
build for a better America - a better world - a better you and I to
strengthen us for the challengers that we face today in a world half-free,
and other half, without God- barely existing. CLASS OF
1959 Four
hundred and fifty-one of us graduated from Lynn Eng]ish High School and
now the 1964 Alumni is here and we - five years out - are the youngest
honor class. It will seem strange to be together again. Lives which were
so similar five years ago, all centered around English High School, are
quite different now. CLASS OF
graduating class of 1964 has had many highlights this year. Of them the
most significant are:

The Hands that Hold Tomorrow
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Well, the presidential election is over, and about
half of you are happy and half are disappointed. That's the reality of an
election, we have a winner and a loser, and with that, a decision is made. I am
thankful the campaign ads are done. Here in Ohio we were so bombarded by
commercials, billboards and phone calls. Now maybe some peace and quiet can
return to our already commercialized lives.
And whether you are thrilled with the outcome or
saddened by the results, I can assure you of one thing: God is in control. I am
reminded of one of my favorite verses from John 14 verse 1 which states "Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." That is so
reassuring to know that God wants us to let go of worrying, let go of feeling
troubled, and trust in Him.
sense of peace does not necessarily come easy. There have been many times in my
life when I allow stress to overtake my heart. I feel a sort of panic attack,
especially when something is out of my control but still impacts my life. I can
easily hop on and ride the roller coaster of fear, doubt and insecurity, and
boy what a ride it can be. The up side of that coaster sometimes provides a
breath-taking moment of joy, like when I got my first full-time job after
college graduation. I thought all my problems were over, my income was secure
and my life was figured out.
you know the story. That was five careers, twenty years of part-time-teaching, four
published books (with two that were canceled) and a lifetime of changes ago. The
more settled I feel the more life changes, and I am left on the downside of the
hill trying to rediscover that sense of peace.
who knows me will also tell you I am a certified worry-wart. I can turn even
the smallest illness into mentally planning my own funeral or stay awake at
night worrying about that bill that didn't get paid. What I tend to focus on is
the worry of the unknown when I should be focusing on the peace of the known.
So, the election is over, and some of you are on the
upside of the coaster while others are on the down. Either way, a decision was
made, and now it's up to us to find our own peace. As a nation, we need to pray
for our president, for our country and for all of our elected officials. We are
a beacon of hope in the world, of freedom and liberty. Some of us may be
democrats, some republicans and some independents, but we are all Americans.
And as someone much wiser than me used to remind me,
today is the day the Lord has made and we should rejoice and be glad in that
(Psalm 118:24). It is time to rejoice. It is time to shout for joy. All of us. Wherever
your heart is with the election, I can assure you of one thing: God is in control.

Been searching online for the best value on Pat Welsh's books as recommended here by several posters. All I see are paperback editions. No hardcovers at all. Anyone know whether Pat Welsh books are available in hardback and if so, where? |
Follow-Up Postings:
As I remember, they've always been paperback. Libraries carry them....excellent books and info. |
Thanks, karin and wcgypsy. Is there a specific edition I should be looking for?? |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Fri, Jan 18, 13 at 0:54
I don't think you need to worry about which edition too much. Get the most recent one you think is reasonably priced. Mine is quite old, but it's the most useful garden book I own. |
Her books are great! I was fortunate enough to hear her speak several times, and she autographed my copy of Southern California Organic Gardening. The book was softcover. If hardcover were available, they probably would have had it at the autograph session. You'll enjoy the book. |
She recently redid her magnum opus in an "organic" version, but the original wasn't all that gun-ho on chemicals. Any one you can find is very useful. |

Film Review: Brave
Much of the talk regarding the latest Pixar effort has been about the gender of the protagonist, since this is the studio's first film to feature a central heroine. Watching the film, it struck me as a fairly redundant talking point, since Disney films have long featured heroines who are almost exactly like this one. Do Pixar really need praise for being late to the party? More importantly, the lack of a female protagonist until now seems like an extremely mild issue in the overall scheme of things, especially when they have featured wonderful female characters in co-starring or supporting roles, like Mrs. Incredible and Finding Nemo's Dory.
Brave is set in ancient Scotland, and tells the story of the tomboyish princess Merida, who rebels against her mother's traditional ideas as to how a young woman should behave. Instead of learning how to sew, she practices archery and climbs the nearby cliffs. One day, the time comes for Merida to accept the hand in marriage of one of the local young Lords. When she refuses, her mother insists that it must be done – that it is her duty. Merida hops on her horse and flees the castle, desperate to escape her fate.
The opening section of Brave, which revolves around the three local tribes who are warring for the right to Merida's hand, is very entertaining, and moves along at a brisk pace. As with every Pixar film, it is filled with clever sight-gags and some witty lines. Merida is an instantly appealing heroine, and is capably voiced by Kelly Macdonald (the State of Play miniseries, No Country for Old Men). The script does an effective job of making us understand the position of her mother, Elinor (Emma Thompson), even as we are aligned with Merida. Billy Connolly provides good comic relief as Merida's rather oblivious father.
Most of the shots in the trailer are from the opening section, which meant that once the larger plot kicked in, I felt a surge of excitement; I had absolutely no idea where this film was going. That excitement lasted for a few scenes and then gradually subsided. The main story is serviceable, but takes a decidedly pedestrian route. I won't go into plot details, because it is best to approach this film fresh.
Aside from the character of Merida, the approach to gender is predictably standard – men are meat-headed and like fighting, while women are easily scared and care too much about manners. They are the same as you would find in a 90s sitcom. In fact, it occurred to me at one point that the main characters in Brave have fairly similar roles to the family in The Simpsons, with Merida in the Lisa role.
There are some effective moments in the later stages of the story, and the ending is reasonably moving. Brave is a solid, entertaining film, even if it never hits the heights of many contemporary animated films.

@Iluviaporos - Well, I think it does help if you do what the article suggests and install the basement plumbing below the original plumbing in the house.
Generally I think in an old house you just have no choice but to put up with noisy pipes and things.
Personally, I think the best solution to that and all future problems is to fit the room with the best products you can.
Long term problems with plumbing often come from people trying to cut corners, and with a basement fitting you might think it isn't so important. But, if anything it is more so, because it's a bit more complex to install the toilet fittings and all.
In fact, unless I really knew what I was doing, I would get an expert in to do the work. But, that's just me.

Ed...aka (Wicked) and his friends got together to create a new motorcycle club with one thing in mind. Riding!
The Jokers Wild Motorcycle Riding Club is a family friendly club with a strong emphasis on well organized rides. Our membership is open to all types of cruiser style motorcycles, including customs, classics, standards and baggers.
There are club runs most weekends between April and October. Scheduled rides are on; Tuesday nights (6:30pm, for 7:00pm departure) and Sunday afternoons (10:00am for a 10:30am departure) Starting from the Tim Horton's parking lot on Akerly Blvd., Burnside.

I ordered the Puck wok because it was a good price. Then I found a stainless steel Cuisinart wok even cheaper on Amazon.
Seems like most reviewers like Cuisinart alot, and some Puck owners love it, and some hate it. Anyone here have any experience with the Puck wok? Unfortunately, they're both made in China. The Puck wok boasts having 0.7mm stainless steel, while Cusinart mentions being 18/10, so its hard to compare them. If the Cusinart isn't that much different than the Puck one, I'll keep the Puck one, since I ordered it online and it arrived today. Thanks. |

I questioned her a few times about this and she acted very suspicious and refused to answer yes, or no. Obviously if she did nothing wrong, she'd immediately deny it. I want to report her to her agency with my suspicions but in order for me to do this do I need to provide hard evidence? (Like saying that there was a witness to this...)
I'm not out to get her fired; rather I'm trying to find out which people in my building are at the root of this. (I do genuinely qualify for since I am home bound now.)
You don't explain what the basis for your suspicion about your home health aid is other than evasiveness when questioned. I imagine something must have triggered your suspicion to begin with before you questioned her. You are free to complain to her agency with or without evidence, but how seriously they take you will largely depend on how credible your evidence is.
You haven't asked any question. Obviously, you will not endear yourself to the worker or agency if you make allegations against her, especially if she did nothing wrong.

Another PotC Polybag, another Jack Sparrow minifig
Posted by Huw,Just when you thought you'd completed your Pirates of the Caribbean minifig collection, Brickset member keithkram uncovers yet another PotC polybag containing Jack Sparrow with a different head.
Keith has some listed in his BrickLink store so if you're a PotC completest, head on over and grab one.
32 comments on this article
This has a GREAT head!
How is that head different?
@K-nut: He seems to have a white face. :)
Well the minifig looks quite boring... why does the bag image (background) have to be the most exciting part?
thats jack sparrow from the scene in "on stranger tides" when he's in the fountian of youth.
Those poly prices are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I needed that :)
Another one? I still haven't found the first polybag in stores. I only want 1 Jack Sparrow mini-figure from the POTC theme. I'm not interested in the rest of the theme and have no interest in spending $15 to get the cheapest set just to get a mini-figure.
That Jack Sparrow is a must have for me. Where did this one come out at? Is it another UK promo like 2 of the other Pirates Of The Caribbean Poly Bags? Just Curious.
I wish this one would come out in my area. It would be a nice, inexpensive way of getting a Jack Sparrow minifigure with his hat.
Oh wow amazing set... Of course, only good for people who don't collect POTC.
@Higgins: Let me see... *Looks at price* 18.24 BRITISH POUNDS?!? O_O FOR A MINIFIG POLYBAG?!? O_O KRAAAAM!!! :P
Someone would have to be crazy to pay 30 bucks for a minifigure
How is it any different?
$30? No thanks.
Even though I was a Harry Potter completest, I never bought polys. They're ridiculous!
***Well, I was a completest until 2010. ;-)
Nice!!!! but just 1 minfig without any accessories for $30 seems TOO MUCH. I'll rather buy some other set to build in that case at least I can enjoy building lego.
Price gougers. Just like gasoline prices.
found another one on bricklink for 14.99
same seller has germ polybag from the cars series
Jack minifigs from some of the other sets sell pretty cheaply on bricklink, if you just want a jack, such as the one from Captain's cabin. But yeah, crazy prices for these, but of course that's not TLG's pricing, just the re-sellers price. I don't blame them for trying to sell them at that price, it's business after all.
Not to offend anyone, but even if this seller is the only one for now to sell this set, just giving the news is OK, but linking to the store seems a bit too much given the SCANDALOUS PRICES.
^I agree.
It looks like the Jack Sparrow from Captain's Cabin just with the brown hat.
I can barely tell a difference between heads.
To me, it looks like the head is the same, but his torso/leg printing has a blue cloak over everything (but under the belt). The older Jack minifig with a tricorne has a brown cloak on.
This really seems like a money grab on TLC's part. But of course I'll buy into it; I did get the voodoo polybag after all.
I really wish they would add a bit more variety to this theme. Everyone likes Jack Sparrow, but how about some bad guy crew members for the QAR, or an undead monkey in a brick-built cage, or something like that?
Eh....... Everything in his store is well overpriced.
30$ dollars for a different head??No thank you.
Let's cut Keith some slack. We don't know how much he paid for them and given they are in short supply at the moment it's a 'seller's market' so he can charge what he thinks the market will bear. Much like the LEGO company, in fact.
If it's too much for you, don't buy one, wait until they become more readily available.
It's not true that everything in Keith's Bricklink store is overpriced. Some of his stock is competitively priced. But also Keith has a lot of old and rare Lego taken from sets that he has parted out. Old Lego parts and minifigs handled only for sorting frequently command premium prices. Keith will only charge what the market will bear otherwise he would never sell any Lego. His Bricklink feedback suggests that people are happy to pay his prices for guaranteed quality Lego despatched quickly using quality packaging materials. I for one have placed at least 25 orders in his store over the years and received perfect Lego every time.
It is difficult to know when and where polybag sets will be released and quite often they never appear in many countries. Collectors who must have every set released in a particular theme may be prepared to pay high prices because that is their hobby. Keith won't price a set if he didn't believe it would sell at that price.
Can't be that over priced, it looks like he's sold 2 already! Good luck to the guy. If there wasn't buyers willing to pay prices like these there would be a lot of people on here struggling to fund their lego hobby or make a living.
Well, the fact that there is buyers paying does not mean that the price is fair, but I guess this is an endless discussion.
My point was more that Brickset should share news and even bargains. But I was surprised to see this kind of advertising in this news, given the price was not a bargain. With the set number, people wanting to buy it could just check BL or eBay or whatever by themselves and decide what to do.
But once again, it's just my point of view and I don't intend to bug anyone. Let's focus on the set itself ...
A promo like this will shortly become as available as the other bagged promos IMO. Probably something to do with the release of a new game or the DVD of POTC4.
Don't like the price at one store?
well at least now I know one store I will not shop lol

FROG Clothing
Wholesale FROG ClothingFROG, short for Flame Resistant Organizational Gear is United States Marine Corps clothing specifically designed to protect against and reduce the number of injuries resulting from fire and flash. The FROG was a result of the increased use of IEDs, Improvised Explosive Device in the Iraq War. The purpose of the FROG is to increase survivability and mobility of individuals serving as US Marines supporting the Global War on Terrorism. The FROG system consists of long sleeve shirts, T-shirts, combat shirts, combat trousers, gloves and balaclava. All these components are Flame Resistant (FR), defending against IEDs and other fire and extreme heat threats. The FROG is made of new materials that wont burn or melt when exposed to flames in tests that were conducted by the US Marines. The tests concluded that the new clothing significantly reduced the risk of third degree burns from an estimate of 15 to 20 percent likelihood with the old uniform to 5 percent likelihood with FROG. The current MCCUU is essential to the FROG I uniform, when worn properly provides protection of up to 3 seconds when exposed to flames, FROG I also includes light and mid weight balaclava, long sleeve t-shirts and gloves. For protection against flames greater then 3 seconds, the FROG II was designed. The combat shirt and combat pants are part of FROG II. The FROG II provides 4 seconds of protection against flames. The material used to construct the FROG II is self-extinguishing at 4 seconds of flame exposure allowing Marines the time to safely get away from the flame source. The FROG is made primarily from a blend of materials that includes flame resistant fibers; it protects against flames but is not fire proof. FROG apparel provides a big advantage for US Marines, it provides protection against flames for a longer period of time and reduced third degree burns. The FROG can be worn with the rest of the combat equipment worn by the US Marines and provides an increased amount of flame protection. Currently the US Marines serving in the Iraq War are wearing the new FROG apparel. Proppers FROG clothing is commonly referred to as FROG trousers, FROG shirts, flame resistant organizational gear pants, usmc frog, fire resistant uniform, flame resistant, fire resistant uniform, Marines uniform, fire retardant clothing, flame retardant gear.

To lose Jack Layton at the height of his capacity as a person and as a political leader, is especially sad.
When Jack walked into my graduate course at York University in the early 1970s, it didn't take me long to see that this was someone very special. The energy and the luminous intelligence were on full display, as well as his respect for others, and the joy he took in meeting people.
Through the decades, he joined every political battle with unique optimism. In municipal politics, in the fight for environmental reform, in his support for the homeless and the poor, he threw himself into what he did with the conviction that he could be on the winning side. Jack had no use for fashionable pessimism.
When he became NDP leader, he took a party that had seen better days and led it to become a force that can win the next election. His breakthrough in Quebec is historic, a transformative event in Canada's political history.
We'll miss Jack's energy and his capacity to rise from setbacks and carry on. We'll need to take those qualities to heart in the days ahead. We'll miss you, Jack.
To Olivia and the members of his family, I offer my condolences.

Short Biography
Dr. Jean Jones graduated summa cum laude from Wright State University with her Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary English, Communication and Theater Education with a minor in Business. The following year, she earned her Masters of Arts Degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing and rhetoric from the same university. She continued on, receiving her Pd. D from the University of Pittsburgh for Rhetoric and Communication with a specialization in political communication, propaganda studies, and interpersonal communication. But that was not enough for Dr. Jones. Beginning in 2005, she began intensive Spanish language studies were she would immerse herself into the culture completely by living in a Spanish speaking country for many weeks at a time.
Dr. Jones started working at Edinboro University in 1995. After teaching full time for fourteen years, she became President of the Edinboro University APSCUF Faculty Union ("Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties") in 2009. Just two short years later, in 2011, she took over the job as Director of the Robert C. Weber honors Program. In her small time here she has already increased the Honors enrollment by nearly 75 new members each fall semester, doubled the number of students living in the Honors Living Learning floor, and completely revamped curriculum, requirements, and academic components.
Dr. Jones, along with two other authors, collaborated together to write "Lucifer State: A Novel Approach to Rhetoric" which was published in 2007. Four years later, a book of hers was once again published, entitled "Persuasion in Society." Along with these, she has also published four articles, which can be found in Communication Quarterly, Let's Talk: A Skills Approach to Interpersonal Communication, and Higher Education: A Reader for College Lives.
Aside from her publications, Dr. Jones also has a very long list of honors and awards. Twice she received the great honor of being announced "Educator of the Year" of Edinboro University. She has received the "Exceptional in the Classroom" Certificate of Appreciation three times. She became "Advisor of the Year" in 2001, and before taking over the Dr. Robert C. Weber Honors Program, she received their "Very Important Person Award" twice.
There is no doubt that Dr. Jean Jones has made "Great Things Happen Here."

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), Mumbai, plans to shut down one of four crude distillation units for maintenance at its 1.24 million-b/d Jamnagar refining and petrochemical complex in Gujarat, India.
Beginning on Mar. 20, the unit is scheduled to be shut for about 3½ weeks for maintenance and inspection activities, RIL said.
In addition to making necessary modifications to improve the reliability and performance of the crude unit, RIL also will use the scheduled shutdown period to replace catalyst at the plant's vacuum gas oil and naphtha hydrotreater, the company said.
All other units at the refining complex will continue to operate at normal levels during the shutdown, according to RIL.
On the petrochemical side, RIL recently confirmed an ongoing project to expand production capacity of ethylene and other petroleum products at the Jamnagar complex also remains under way (OGJ Online, Jan. 22, 2014; July 6, 2012; May 3, 2012).

Rage + Steampunk + Laser = Awesome Pistol
Handheld weapon maker Patrick Priebe aka AnselmoFanZero is back with another laserrific armament. It's a revolver with a design inspired by the Settler Pistol from the FPS game Rage, but with less grime and more brass. Also, instead of bullets, it's loaded with a battery and fires a laser beam.
I love how the guns' barrel acts as its battery compartment. I don't love the laser. It's BRIGHT. Seriously you might want to wear goggles just for the video. You definitely should wear goggles when firing this pistol because it has a 1.5W blue laser, enough to instantly blind eyes and burn skin.
Priebe said he sold the unit shown in the video for €600 (~$790 USD), but he can also make a "slightly simpler version" for less. I wonder what he'll make for $5. A drawing of the gun perhaps? If you have more money than I do, just drop him a line on YouTube or Facebook. Also give me some of your riches.

What's In Your Fridge?
Have you seen that A&E show Hoarders? In the episode I caught, one woman, Jill, had a serious aversion to throwing out food. I mean, to the point that she had rotten pumpkins on the floor and a fridge packed with yogurts and other items that were months past the expiration date. It really was not a pleasant sight. See what I mean.
It's very sad–Jill suffers from a serious hoarding compulsion. But I have to admit, I, too, have had to throw out some pretty rancid herbs and greens from my vegetable drawer. The drawer is opaque, so sometimes I never know what to expect when I open it. I sound like a broken record, but I need to do a better job using up my fresh produce. One thing I started to do is to keep an anti-shopping list on the fridge on a magnetic notepad, listing which ingredients I should use asap. Then I can search for recipes using that ingredient or just toss it all into a pot and see what happens.
Sidenote: While I was looking for an image to share, I found this flickr group called Fridge Fetish, where people show off the contents of their fridges. Which lead me to the What's That In Your Fridge? group. Very interesting, voyeuristic stuff. Do you think you can tell a lot about someone by the contents of their fridge?
This flickr member's fridge looks quite neat and organized. But what about yours? Is it a mess? Do you have a great system to find exactly what you need?
Wanted to pass on this message, too: We're looking for freezers/fridges in desperate need of organization for the December issue of Real Simple. If you live in the Tri-State area (NY, NJ, or CT), e-mail photos of your messy fridge/freezer to firstname.lastname@example.com, along with a brief description of the challenges you face. If we choose your fridge, you'll get a free makeover.

What type of Wash Park fitness weirdo are you?
It's pretend summer in Colorado! You know, that time of year (read: every single month) when it gets up to 80-plus degrees for a few days, long enough to make you forget that it's probably going to still snow-out your cousin's wedding in June? Last week, when we experienced one of those first gorgeous fake-out weather patterns, I took the opportunity to do my exercise outside and walked around Washington Park (er, Wash Park to the yokels). Home of the strange and unusual.
But the real charm of Wash Park isn't its many tennis courts, gardens and picnic areas, or its rec center with that nice indoor pool, or even its multi-path option for park athletes of all levels: It's the people-watching.
The park is full of people all day, any time of day, many of them doing stuff you'd never dream of doing (ever seen a dude on roller blades with ski poles? You will at Wash Park). And after my most recent trip around the park, I decided to outline some of the types of fitness freaks you might catch there. Here are just a few categories of Wash Parkers I came up with (and, for the record, I've used pictures from the Internet to illustrate some types, the better to protect all of Denver's public rollerblade offenders):
Extreme Fitness Guy/Gal
He's serious about fitness. Like, serious. Even in the park, when everyone else (read: me) is pretending to be working hard but really just socializing, she is there to train for the next Tough Mudder/Spartan Race/Warrior Dash, etc. He's running so hard, riding so hard, even rollerblading his ass off. She is Just Doing It, dude. He may even be the guy using ski poles with his rollerblades, so as not to miss a training beat when ski season is long over. If anything, this person is good inspiration for us slower sorts: Life is short, so they play hard (but fair, making room for the rest of us wobbling around the path), unlike those assholes in spandex on the Cherry Creek bike trail. (Note: Extreme Fitness Guy/Gal may also fall into the following category.)
Almost-Naked Man/Woman
Akin to the Extreme Fitnessers, this park type also works hard, but doesn't like to wear clothes. I don't think they're acting out some exhibitionist fantasy -- it seems more that they genuinely don't see the need for fitness apparel. It just gets in the way of their ripped bodies being able to live!
Almost-Naked Man typically does wear a pair of tiny shorts, an iPod, perfect beads of sweat on his eight-pack abs and a pair of sunglasses that make him look as though he's going no less than 500 miles an hour. Almost-Naked Woman will wear the same, just adding an extremely sports-enhanced-looking jog bra, for legal purposes.
Larry David on RollerbladesJust add fruit boots!
Sometimes he looks happy, sometimes he's looks as though his beloved Pomeranian, Skittles, has just passed away. Regardless, Larry David on Rollerblades is huffing and puffing and wading upstream through the invisible waters of the bike trail on rollerblades or riding his ancient-but-now-hip-again Peugeot bicycle with everything he's got. LDOR might also have a bright-yellow Sony Walkman strapped to his belt next to his cell-phone holster on his dad jeans. If your viewing eyes are extremely lucky, you might spy LDOR carrying a boombox seemingly transported from another time (or taken off of the work bench in his garage) that shares his "tunes" (his word, not mine) with everyone who comes within five feet of his health-club routine. Note: He may also resemble George Carlin, Neil Diamond or Hank Hill in real life.
