We realize that we will play a major role in securing the final peace and rebuilding a better, safer world. Thus, we hold our year book as a living memory of friends and care free high school days, and as a link between the past and the future.

In addition to coaching these sports in higti schools, I have coached these sports in the Boston Park Depart- ment leagues.

None of this story about an elevator for us, we knew better. Of course that re- served seat at the cafeteria, which a senior passed on to one of us, couldn ' t seem to be found; but then we couldn ' t be fooled. Just when we ' re getting used to homework and those darling little white slips that request our pre- sence for a sociable three-quarters of an hour after one forty, the Senior Dance comes up. So we attend our first high school dance with an attitude that says Allright, so I am a Freshman . Though we had a little competition from the other classes, we were naturally the best looking group on the dance floor. At both the Thanksgiving and Christmas Rallies the singing star of the class of ' 45 was featured. Yes, you ' ve guessed it, it was Barbara Hanna. Barbara Lonsbury and Venita Frenier represented us on the Blue Owl by being assistant Literary Editors. In the middle of January we had Tuberculosis Tests which of course didn ' t scare us. Isn ' t it strange nobody could explain that curious knocking sound in the vicinity of our knees. At the end of January we gave four people the great honor and privilege of being officers of our class. President — George Armitage Vice-President — Barbara Hanna Secretary — Margaret Cuthbertson Treasurer — Sylvia Globus Things rolled merrily along until May when we held the biggest social event of the season, the fresh- man dance. We called it The Nursery Rhyme Social , and it was a success. Next came June and final exams which we breezed through with a fresh- man ' s natural smartness. Thus ended our first year at A. H. S. We then became Sophomores, that is, the lucky ones did. SOPHOMORE YEAR Now we are big Sophs — no longer insignificant Freshmen. We are all prepared to show the Frosh the way to the nearest elevator or in unison chant Freshman, Freshman, when an unfortunate Fresh- man drops his books. After real hot campaigning, George Armitage was elected president; Sylvia Globus and Barbara Hanna, vice-president; Margaret Cuthbertson, secre- tary; William Guillette, treasurer. On April 2, 1943, with the aid of the officers and Lois Essex, Bill Sloman, Clayton Hall, Betty Mondor, Carlo Rea, Dick Sweet the greatest social event of the year, The Spirit of ' 43 was presented. Our football team, of which Elliott Hayden and Rich Vincent were members had a second straight undefeated season. As for basketball, we won the M. I. T. Tech Tournament. Our wonderful basket- ball player, Mai Wendell was the Sophs represent- ative of this great team. We brave Sophs now ven- tured forth and joined many of the extra-curricular activities. Claire Dwyer and Sylvia Globus were members of the Blue Owl. After two very fine years at A. H. S. we were cer- tain that we were headed for two more such years, thus we ended our Sophomore year. JUNIOR YEAR After crawling out of hibernation, the class of ' 45 continued their successful journey over the edu- cational highways. We elected the following officers: President — William Guillette Vice-President — Barbara Hanna and Sylvia Globus Secretary — Margaret Cuthbertson Treasurer — Barbara Burton Margaret Cuthbertson held office of Vice-Presi- dent of the Tri-Y, while Sylvia Globus was President of the Junior Red Cross. And Bill Guillette, besides being President, exercised his fingers at recess by working on the cash register. The boys who held our class honor high on the gridiron were Elliott Hayden, Richard Vincent, Joe Cassidy. Rich Vincent also wrote up some of these games, because he was assistant sports editor of the Page Forty-one Blue Owl Staff. We kept the class laurels polished when Mai Wendell, Joe Cassidy, Russall Brown, Rich Vincent and Clayton Hall were picked for the varsity basketball team. Mai also helped with the Christmas assembly. Priscilla Grant and Lorraine Parker represented us on the girls ' varsity basketball team. In January, the class of ' 45 presented the Jiades Hop which was a major social and financial success. On the dance committee which did such a swell job, were the class officers plus Gloria Ebert, Billy Hanna and Margaret Lyon. During March we received that gold emblem wnich proved that we would soon be seniors. Yes, it ' s the class ring which is exception- ally good looking. The summer vacations seemed to pop up guickly and those who had B ' s or better, did not have to take any final exams. After this lucky break, we crawled back into hibernation again to rest up for the forthcoming pleasure and privilege of being seniors at A. H. S. SENIOR YEAR Is it possible? It seems incredible, but we ' re really Seniors. At last the long awaited day has arrived. Very_ shortly we elected officers: President, Ivan Richards;. Vice-President, Thomas Ney; Secretary, Sylvia Globus; Treasurer, Barbara Burton. November 17, 1944, was the ni ht of the superb Senior Social. The gym was very nicely decorated in the true A. H. S. spirit. During the Christmas vacation, the Senior Prom was held in the gym. Nat- urally, this prom was the best ever held at A. H. S. Miss Simonds was kind enough to coech the brilliant Senior Play, June Mad . Every ectorand actress, except one, of the play was a member of the Senior Class. The Katherine Cornells and Brian Ahernes were better known cs Jane Coogan, Lois Essex, George Armitage, Marilyn Davis, Thomas Ney, Ivan Richards, Barbara Young, Bob Hibbard, Victor Pierce, Earle Bowman, Margaret Lyon, Una Cronin and Betty-Jane Caswell was prompter. The very able Barbara Lonsbury was chosen editor-in-chief of the Blue Owl and Tattletale. The Motto Committee was composed of Pnil Shanley, Una Cronin, Darrell Gustafson and made the very wise choice of Forward ever — Backward never . Tne basketball team had Mai Wendell as captain. Rich Vincent, Russell Brown, Elliott Hayden, and Clayton Hall. Sylvia Globus was awarded the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. After four very fine, never-to-be forgotten years, the Good Ship 45 entered port with Forward ever, backward never .

The staff, after careful consideration of the many suggestions and criticisms voiced by readers of previous issues, spared no pains in planning this year ' s number. We feel that our efforts have been rewarded by our satisfaction in the finished product. We HAVE worked hard but we have enjoyed the associations which this work entailed. Miss Farr, Miss Simonds, Mrs. Kelley, Mrs. John- son, and Mr. Newcomb aided the students with help- ful suggestions and assistance. BLUE OWL STAFF Three times a year the school puts out a Blue Owl . This year they have been the best ever. Under the capable leadership of Barbara Loasbury editor-in-chief, he magazine has improved tremen- dously.

We all remember initiation day when the new members were required to form circles and sing at recess bedecked in half-upswept hair, hideous color combinations, and cardboard signs. Mrs. Ruth Cummings was the faculty advisor for this group of thirty senior and junior girls, and their meetings were held every two weeks. Guest speakers included Mr. Newcomb, Miss Pierce, Mrs. Bassett, Mrs. Hodg- kins, Mrs. Cummings, Janet White Salley, and others from Wheaton and Pembroke. The Tri-Y held a successful dance which turned out to be a gala affair — A Night at the Casino. The officers of this club were; Margaret Cuthbertson, president; Jackie Barrett, secretary; Norma Nicker- son, vice-president; Gloria Ebert, treasurer; Patricia Robbins, scribe. GLEE CLUB Our new music director, Mr. George Chase, has started the A. H. S. music department on the road to success. Sixty-four girls, meeting every Mondav morning Period X, are learning two and three part selections from some of the greater composers. If you remember the Sesqui-bi-centennial celebration, you will remember the A. H. S. chorus. This was composed of thirty girls from the Glee Club. These girls worked hard and sacrificed many hours of schooling for practice. The boys around A. H. S. haven ' t thought oi singing for many years, but this year was different. Mr. Chase called for a Boys ' Glee Club, and twenty- five responded to the call. Good work fellows. There ' s money in the Metropolitan! GLEE CLUB First Row — L. Brousseau, F. Rose, H. Sutton, L.

This year the club met every other Wednesday under the supervision of Miss Walton, and elected as officers: Jane Coogan, President; Irene Fagnand, Vice-President; Vivian Brown, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Newcomb gave a description of one of his many trips through Europe; this was received heartily by the girls. For the rest of the year the group is collecting pictures as a special feature.

The members were assigned to the different departments, and have tried to bring news items from each department every second week. This work isn ' t just going to the department and securing a few notes. On the contrary, one has to write up the news in an interesting manner and take it to the faculty ad- visor to be checked. Then it is typed and rechecked. Finally, it is sent to the Attleboro Sun and the Paw- tucket Times. The column has attracted many read- ers, letting them know what ' s going on in the School on the Hill. The officers of this club are: President — Sylvia Globus Vice-President — Edna Guillette Secretary-Treasurer — Marian Haley The typists ar e: Shirley Brown Mavis Garland Jeannette Meunier Pauline Turgeon At the end of each school year the Attleboro Sun awards a certificate of merit to each member for her faithful work.

JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross is one of the most active organizations in the high school. It has completed much this year, under the direction of Miss Marjorie Pierce. Early in the year the club elected officers; Sylvia Globus, president; Marilyn Davis, vice-presi- dent; Lillian Weimert, secretary; Fern Stone, treas- urer. The girls give their time for work, on scrapbook covers, sewing, knitting, menus, and first aid. They have collected a large amount from a Red Cross drive. The members of this club set an excellent ex- ample to follow in doing our part in the war effort. SKETCH CLUB First Row — A. Kudrnac, J. Coogan, B. Lonsbury, E. McConnell, B. Miller, J. Walsh.

Composed mostly of seniors the Blue and White Bombardiers just missed being invited to the annual Tech Tournament. The Varsity players who are graduating this year are Captain Mai Wendell, Ozzie Dugan; centers,— Rich Vincent, 3unny Hayden, and Clayt Hall, guards. Some of the highlights of the season, under a new basketball coach, ' Chuck Tsouprake, were the defeats pinned on North Attleboro, the startling upsets given to Taunton High, the triumphs over Coyle, and the beat- ings the Bombardiers gave to Mansfield and Franklin. We lost to New Bedford by one point, 43-42, as the Bombardiers ended their season in a blaze of glory. The game went to New Bedford High in the final few seconds. The other varsity players who will be coming back next year are Norm Vincent, brother of Rich , Don Pelleher, and Rich Cronan. The Blue and White second team came through with eight wins in sixteen games. Mainstays of this fighting guintet were Dick Hollis, Frank Pinocci, Rollie Kubiski, Ralph Perry, Bob Martineau, and Don Lamond. Richard Vincent ' 45 GIRLS ' BASKETBALL TEAM First Row— J. Harraden, P.

Page Fifty-five FOOTBALL 1944 Although the record of the 1944 football team wasn ' t an excellent one, the team, under the fine coachiag of Vin Gori learned how to play football the right way. It was a team that never gave up until the last whistle. When the game was over the op- ponents knew they had been in a football game. As we look hack on the team we find a few seniors who have played football for the last time with A. H. S. Among these seniors are Captain Richard Vincent, a fine end; Billy Kiff, the veteran tackle; Don Cook, playing his only year of football at guard and doing a neat job; Ozzie Dugan, who did some fancy pass receiving from the end position; Bill Woll, who had to leave the team to go into the service of his country but played a great game at end while he was on the team; Paul Silvia, a flashy little center; Everett Carpenter, another hard-hitting tackle Bunny Hayden, the veteran quarterback; Joe Cassidy a clever backfield man playing halfback; Russ Brown the speedy fullback; John Sullivan, the fleet-footed halfback. Among the teams which the A. H. S. played were Mansfield, Coyle, Durfee, Walpole, Taunton, Whitman, and North Attleboro. Attleboro was at its best against a favored Taunton team who out- weighed our team by quite a few pounds. Although Durfee High rolled up q high score, they took one of the worst physical beatings of the season from the determined A. H. S. team. In the North game, a heavy favored North Attleboro team poured all they had into the game the second half and pulled away from the home team. Much credit must be given to Vin Gori ' s able assistant, Charles Chuck Tsouprake, from Brown University. Taking advantage of his college ex- perience with football, he developed a hard-hitting line. Among those who will be back for the 1945 sea- son are co-captains-elect Norm Vincent and Sal Gulinc, center and guard respectively: Mel Globus; George Jackson, Harry Sumner, Ronnie Braman, Bob Deegan, Bob Martineau, Billy Sargeant, Al Pellissey, Earl Adams, Fred Moehle, Sam Seagal and Obbie O ' Brien. Of course there will be others out for the squad who weren ' t out last season. Anyway, we all wish the 1945 team the best of luck. Russ Brown ' 45 In Appreciation  , The Class of 1945 and especially the Tattle- tale Staff ' wish to offer appreciation and thanks to Miss Dorothy Simonds, Mrs. Marie Kelley, Mrs. Katherine Johnson and Mr. Arthur Newcomh for the assistance they hare so willingly given in compiling this year book.
