Let us chatter for a purpose in the future. In the fall of 1938, we met as freshmen enrolling at Howe High. First, we chose our leaders: Edward Bocko, Sally Quigley, Ann Pomanacki, George McCusker, and Miss Evelyn Griffin. We started eagerly to assume our various school tasks. Our first social attempt was a Valentine Party in February. In June we had our final outing of the year at Canobie Lake. The next year we were guided by Edward Bocko, George McCusker, Barbara Quinn, Helen Sipprell, and Miss Helen Davis. Our Hallowe'en Party was a gloriously crowded, happy affair, and in June once more we journeyed to Canobie Lake. During 1940, our class policies and activities were directed by Edward Bocko, George MacArthur, Helen Sipprell, Barbara Quinn, and Miss Helen Davis. Numerous roller-skating parties, capably managed by Elise White, filled our leisure hours. Spring brought our gala Prom, done the Mexican way. Much justifiable pride was felt by the able decoration committee on their splendid work of transforming Howe's auditorium into a Mexican vi-lla for the evening. In September 1941, our faithful leaders of the preceding year were again selected to lead our little band, now much smaller than in the beginning. The first social affair was a successful 'barn dance at Orchard Corners Farm in South Billerica, with Ruth Carter as hostess. One of the chief events of the senior year was the Senior Play, Smilin' Through, ably coached by Miss E. Ruth Belcher. Those who took part in the play were June Forbes, Elaine Bick- ford, Paul Waite, Paul Houlne, George Ouellette, Dorothy Cobb, Barbara Quinn, Margaret Leavitt, Ruth Lowe, Betty St. John, Milburn Dixon, Clifford Saunders, Philip Buker, Herbert Nickless, George MacArthur. A Tri-Delta Club, a society of senior girls, was again formed with Phyllis Hunter as president. Our senior year was an interesting one, filled with activities, too numerous to mention. It is with regret and with a bit of sad- ness that I now close this page upon the history of the class of 1942. , ELAINE BICKFOHRD -20- HOWE-ITE CLASS WILL KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that WE, the Senior Class of 1942, of the Howe High School, located in Billerica, County of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under fraud, duress, menace, or the undue influence of any persons whatsoever, do make, publish, and declare this our last Will and Testament, in the man- ner following: CLAUSE FIRST: I, Paul Anderson, leave my favorite seat in Room 21 to Bob Behan.

CLASS OF 1942 The foregoing instrument, consisting of four C45 pages, was, on the date thereof, by the said Class of 1942 signed, sealed, and declared to us and each of us to be, their last Will and Testament, in the presence of us who, at their request and in their presence, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses thereto. RUTH ROGERS MILBURN IJIXON BETTY ST. JOHN BETTY RAYMOND ,231 Hows-ITE CLASS PROPHECY It was in my weary travels, on a lazy summer day, in June 1955, that I came across a small town in Massachusetts. As I, soiled and dirty from a hard day on the rods-I mean roads-walked down the streets, I spied four old maids sitting in a yard, evidently in a po-er, bridge game. I have never, before, or since, seen a more perfect foursome of old maids. Of course, they were modern, up-to-date old maids-bachelor girls, they called themselves. They wore the latest style, smoked cigarettes, whistled at the passing men, and hummed to the tune of an old Glenn Milfer record, played on an anti- quated victrola. I was about to move on when I heard one of the bachelor girls speak. As soon as I heard her voice, I realized with a jolt, that it was none other than DOT COBB. I was longing to renew an old acquaintance, --CI had not seen any of them since I graduatedb-so I went in. Dot intro- duced me to her comrades. At drst, I did not recognize them, but as soon as the names were uttered, everything flashed back to me. The fellow card sharks were MARGIE LEAVITT, and JANE and PHYLLIS HUNTER. Now, I have been a travelling man, but in all my thirteen years of trav- elling, I have never met a more well versed quartet of gossipers. Of course, I accredited the art to their training at Howe High. We fell to gossiping and before long I was dizzy with it all. For thirteen years, they had kept tabs on about seventy people, plus their own neighbors and friends. They knew all', about everyone. I fell on the resignation that all small towns were alike-the women have little to do but gossip and tend the younger generation. As these poor unfortunate girls had not the luck to acquire unto themselves some unlucky fellows, and have young ones to look after, they concentrated all their time and their efforts on gossiping. They all talked so fast, especially Margie, that I had a hard time remembering the following: The Ex-Baroness BARBARA QUINN von Schmaltz du Bois was seen in Reno again this spring. She has not missed a spring in Reno since 1943. FRED RUSTON was seen last week backstage at that torrid review, the El Torro, trying to pick up a few lines, and a few other things. ROBERT WADLEIGH, president of the Little Tinker Trinket Com- pany, has just announced his new, revolutionary toy-the Wadleigh Duck. PAUL WAITE, the eminent plastic surgeon, finished final treatment last week on ARTHUR USNUFFY' SMITH. Snuffy'i now has a bridge in his nose. BETTY RAYMOND is chief orange slicer in the kitchen of the Waldorf in Lowell. JOHN KELEHER, No. 1 Playboy, is still trying to find the answer to the great problem- How to Win girls and hold them. His fifth divorce took place in 1954. He found out money didn't do any good-after his wives got wh at they Wanted of it. MAC MCCUSKER, the great all-star football player, was bewitched by a cute little number from Texas. She won him over by excessive flattery. Now Mac is Deep in the Heart of Texas. Would you believe it? KAY GULLAGE took vitamin pills after leav- ing dear old Alma Mater, and won the Missouri State Hog-Calling Contest. HERBERT NICKLESS has been voted the si-lent lover of the screen in Follywood, Massachusetts 'ta new movie metropolis owned and controlled by HENRY MOULTONJ. Herb was always so shy in regard to the opposite sex. Iwonder? RED ANDERSON and JOE BONZAR have designed a new midget racer, converted from a bomber. They hired the fastest driver in the country -24- HOWE-ITE CLASS PROPHECY to drive it-CHARLOTTE DZIURKIEWICZ. PHILIP BUKER was forced to close his latest production, Revivals of the Can-Can, due to the shortage not only of tin, but clothes. His two leading ladies, Lulu and Arabella, formerly JUNE CAPEN and EILEEN CAREY, have gone over to DICK GORDON'S new production, Rendez- vous. JUNE FORBES'S heifers and BETTY BROWN'S chickens won top honors at the Topstield Fair again this year. MILDRED BONZAR and MILBURN DIXON have finally set the date. It took MILBURN thirteen years to say yes, CHRISTINE BAILEY and FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE FIELD are serving as Red Cross nurses in Persia. Both girls like their profession and claim there are three men to one woman over there. Some change from high school days Z! RUTH CARTER has a kindergarten. Her pupils are the best man- nered in town-not that they are afraid of her or anything like that. SHIRLEY ANDERSON, the mother of four children, amuses her neighbors by the way she calls her children. She calls them as her husband, a train conductor, announces stations. MARJORIE DUNCAN la Pons has just returned from Europe and a concert tour. Her clear soprano enraptures her accompanist, ALICE DOHERTY, who sits and gazes at her soulfully through every performance. DOUGLAS JUDD, after raising a moustache, was mistaken for Hitler and shot about five years ago. ELISE WHITE was sued for libel by JAMES SCOTCHY RICHARD- SON for running an article in her daily column, Elise White's Scandals, which stated that Scotchy had been seen leaving the dressing room of ANN POMANACKI, the Pprruutt girl who just won Esquire's Movie Popularity Contest. Elise did not know that Scotchy, a plumber, had been fixing a leak in the shower. PAULINE OLESON has opened up a taxi service between High Street and Howe High. The boys whistled so much at the girls that had to walk to school each day that Pauline thought she would pick up a few people and a little money both at the same time. HELEN SIPPRELL has just opened up a We Do Your Dirty Work Bureau. She invents excuses for late, absent, or night-owlish high school pupils. TAD PLUMLEY started as Helen's associate but was fired for the illegal use of company information. GEORGE OUELLETTE, that great Shakespearean actor, choked in Ham'et's soliloquy last Thursday. We always said that George pronounced his k's too vigorously. RUTH ROGERS has finished her latest book. How To Cuss a Teacher With Ladylike Grace. CLIFFORD SAUNDERS was re-elected to the Senate on the platform, Send your children to school on Saturdays, so they can learn what you missed in high school and come home and tell it to you. PAUL SABRE is piloting the BBAL. iBillerica-Boston Air Linesl BETTY ST. JOHN is his hostess. Betty says that a good philosophy of life can be learned from the BBAL: They both have their ups and downs. JANICE SALTMAN now runs the Saltman Summer School. This school is designed for pupils who wish to graduate in three years. MARY TUTTLE makes her debut in Symphony Hall next week. The old gang back in Billerica have named her the Hstrategical stratiyarianf' -25- HOWE-ITE CLASS PROPHECY EVELYN PEASLEE finished the best season of her career as football coach of the Pinehurst Bruisers, an all-girl team. PAMELA PELLETIER and ALICE WANCEWICZ have been seen lately playing Brenda and Cobina in Kearney Square, Lowell, and it wasn't just for fun. It looked as though DOT CONDON and BOB INNIS would be middle- aisling it for a time, but of late his attentions have turned to RUTH LOWE, 1955 debutante. Bob is heir to the Innis-McLellan Ice Company. DOT HARVIE is making the round of the night clubs in New York. Dot, by the way, is the present Queen of the Tasselsf' ELAINE BICKFOIRD is a medical secretary. She poked her nose into an operation one day. Half of it was snipped off, and now she keeps the rest out of other people's business. EDDIE BOCKO is teaching commercial subjects and coaching football in Chelmsford High School. Chelmsford got so tired of Ho-we's beating them that they hired an old Howe man to teach them something. EVELYN CHENEY is working in a local store. She has been cited again this year for promoting the most sales. We think that it must be that cave-man technique she employs. LILLIAN CONNOLLY is a professional golfer. She has a hard time getting her caddie a golf-club necktie after she makes a bad shot, and it isn't very often. GEORGE MacARTHUR went ahead and joined the army-anyway- and has been -going ahead by leaps and bounds. All George has to do is say, My name is MacArthur, and why shouldn't he go places with a name like that? EARL MATHESON was kicked out of college for making wi-se cracks at the economics professor. He could not help himself. He says, The habit I acquired in high school was too much for me to overcome. PAUL HOULNE is still held in esteem for his basketball playing on the Good-wins. He took Mr. Brenner's position away from him. J UANITA CLARK and FAY LLOYD have opened a most extraordin- ary hatshop at Billerica Centre. They advertise that their hats will actu- ally cover a woman's head. ELEANOR O'HARE has finished her great comedy in three acts, The Life and Loves of LOUISE O'HARA. LOIS GREENWOOD has been having a hectic time of it for the last two weeks. Measles have been raising havoc in the Greenwood Day Nursery on Andover Road. DORIS GRANFIELD, SALLY QUIGLEY, and MILDRED LARSON, the popular Rhythm Girls, are popularizing their latest song, Four Years in the Wrong High School at the Toro Doro Club. BEA OLIVIERI, former basketball player at Howe High, is still scanning the Sun's All-Star team of '42, hoping to see her name among the forwards. FRANK PARDY, the man with the nose for news has reorganized his one time scandal sheet, Dirt Diggers' Review. It now bears the slo- gan, We print what Winchell doesn't dare.

This deceptive. hard-hitting machine contrasted sharply with the eleven that lost to Wes- ton, 13-0, in the opening game. The following week the determined gridsters showed improvement by drubbing Wilmington, 19-7, on a hot field. Over-confident, the lads had to pound out two touchdowns in the second half to defeat Burlington, 12-6, in a thrilling triumph. The Howe eleven rolled over Dracut, 25-7, in a revenge game, and Ayer. 19-6. but lost to a strong Concord team on a mud drenched field. The Tewks- bury contest was an easy 12-0 victory, and the great finals over Chelmsford was 13-0. Coach Rodney Dresser and Assistant Chuck Lampson were firm be- lievers in hard conditioning, smart signal calling, and a mingling of trick plays with basic ones. Contributing also to the success of the champions were the leaders: Co-Captains McCusker, All-Suburban fullback. and Bocko, rough and ready end. All-Suburban Guard MacArthur was an- other standout. -29-- HOWE-ITE BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM -' A 1. - .. xg - u ' ' 7' -- L GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM HOWE-ITE BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Coaches-Mr. John D. Roderick Captain-Robert Lungo Mr. Herbert Brenner Howe's quintet this year had a record of six victories and as many de- feats, but the close scores indicated the tight competition. The boys were forced to take several heart-breaking reverses, but typically finished the season with a 50-41 win over Dracut. The team showed a good deal of promise in their first two games by easily conquering Dracut and Wilmington. The first squad next faced de- fending champion Chelmsford in their first big test. With the aid of alert- ness and teamwork, Howe led for most of the game, but in the final moments of play, Chelmsford sank the basket that gave them the game by a one point margin. Howe's most thrilling victo1'ies were over Tewksbury, 23-22, and Bur- lington, 34-33. The team's greatest threat was a fast passing attack, but at ti-mes its defense became almost impregnable. Dick Finnagan, a flashy guard, was named captain for next year. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Coach-Miss Genevieve Connors Co-Captains-Lois Greenwood Phyllis Hunter Under the adept coaching of Miss Genevieve Connors, the Howe High girls began a successful season by defeating the hard-fighting Wilmington girls by the close score of 27-25. They lost to D1'acut by seven points, but succeeded in taking the Chelmsford game, 21-19. After winning the next two games from Tewksbury and Burlington, the Howe girls captured their fifth victory from the fast-moving Johnson girls, and proceeded next to sco1'e five baskets in the last three minutes of the Wilmington game to win, 37-23. In a return game with Tewksbury, the Howe girls lost by two points, 30-23. The Howe girls, after the Tewksbury defeat, set the girls' division of the Suburban League into a race to the finish by winning the last game against Dracut, 29-17. Dracut's failure to take the final game against Johnson automatically eliminated Dracut from the league championship. Consequently the Howe girls were given the title. ..31..

All members of the Howe-ite Staff have Worked diligently to make this publication a great success. Much of the credit for the success of the book goes to Miss Mary H. O'Neill, who has spent many hours advising and aiding the members of the staff.

TRI-DELTA CLUB - Upholding the social standing of former senior girls, the girls of '42 again banded loyally together to form the Tri-Delta Club of 212. Governing their actions by duty, defeience, and decorum, the three D's in Tri-Delta, the girls strove constantly to exemplify their ideals. As one means of aiding the war effort, the girls sewed booties for the Red Cross. To help the financial details of the Yearbook, the Tri-Delta girls willingly spon- sored a record dance. Under the successful guidance of Miss Mary O'Neill, the girls held many social affairs, which contributed much pleasure to their senior year. Particularly of merit was the Christmas party held in the gymnasium. The Tri-Delta of '42 offer their best wishes for a successful club in '43. - 37 - HOWE-ITE Wi- l '1 is fl NIS 3 . ,. -4 v.

GLEE CLUB ORCHESTRA HOWE-ITE SENIOR ORCHESTRA Under the leadership of Mrs. Mildred B, McKeen, the senior orchestra had a most successful year with several concerts to its credit. In addition to the long rehearsal sessions, the orchestra has its lighter moments, for Frank Pardy and Phil Buker are often seen swinging' their version of Gene Krupa's tantalizing Jungle Rhythms, the virtuosos, George Gershwin Ouellette and Mary Kreisler Tuttle are often fiddling fantastic duetsg Paul Whiteman Waite is usually trying to figure out why his A is fiatg Herb Nickless is extricating his fingers from an entangling triple stop! This year, Mary Tuttle, who has held first chair in the state orchestra for two consecutive years, represented Howe High at the Massachusetts All State Music Festival. As music takes its rightful place in a world at war, Howe High will continue to strive for the future success of the orchestra. HOWE HIGH GLEE CLUB .The Howe High Glee Club, which has maintained honors in the Class A division when participating in music festivals and spring' concerts, is com- posed of a delightful group of singers. It makes its chief public appearance at the May Concert. This year Mildred Tuttle, Alice Gile, Lawrence McCluskey, Margaret Bourque, and Marion Gardner represented Howe High at the Massachusetts All State Chorus. ' In these stirring times, active interest in music should be maintained to keep up the nation's morale, and thereby help to make our nation more united in its program of national defense. -39- afgfft- 1' if Y?

Flossie Field: Gosh, yes, I haven't heard a good one in weeks. Dot Cobb: So you don't think I look so good in this gown? Charlie E.: No, but outside of that, you don't look so bad. If all the hi-gh school boys who sleep through their classes were placed end to end, they'd be more comfortable. Miss O'Neill: No, thanks, Hulett, I don't want any candy. Hulett: It wouldn't be because of the rubber shortage, would it ? My brother takes up Spanish, French, Italian, and Greek. Gee, he must be smart. Where does he go to college ? He doesn't. He's an elevator operator at Ellis Island. Mrs. Hunter: How is it I find you kissing my daughter? Well, how is it, sir? Harry Newman: Great-simply greatlu Paul Houlne: Are you fond of nuts? Charlotte N: Is this a proposal? Mr. Dresser: Now, we'll study the grasshopper. How does he produce? McCluskey: He doesn't. She does. McCusker: In that last football game, I ran the wrong way. Coach Lampson: You mean you ran toward your goal? Mac: No, I ran toward a 250-pound tackle. H. Sipprell: Gracious, but this floor is slippery. Stink : I shined my shoes, if that's what you mean. Behan: If you say that again, I'll cut you up into a Venetian blind. M, Brown: Oh, you make me shudder. WET WELCOME Mr, Black: I believe I'm a near neighbor of yours, Miss White. I live just across the river from you. Miss White: That's nice-perhaps you will drop in sometime. Richardson: I heard a burglar in the house one night last week. You should have seen me dashing downstairs-three steps at a timef' Helen Sipprell: Oh-so the burglar was on the roof? Mother: Ruth, your hair is all mussed up. Did that MacArthur boy kiss you against your will ? Ruth Carter: No, mother, positively not. He only thinks he did. Green: Yes, I was in Yokohama in the last earthquake. The house rocked, knives and forks and dishes flew all over the place. ' Smith: Great Scott! That reminds me. I must post that letter for my wife. -.42...

INSULT I Fred Ruston: He called me 'processed cotfeef so I socked him. Paul Houlne: I don't understand. Fred Ruston: Thats the coffee that advertises that 98 per cent of the active ingredients have been removed from the bean. THE BEE DOTH Mr. Garnie: Isn't it lovely to have bees, Pardy? Do you know 'How doth the little busy been? Frank Pardy: No, I don'tg but I know when you monkey with him, he doth it. PROCESSING Mrs. Sampson: Miss Cobb, what is that lump in your cheek? Are you chewing gum in class? You know that is forbidden. Dot Cobb: No, I'm not chewing gum. I'm just soaking a prune to eat at recess. WRONG METHOD DeTwitter: I think Peebles could have been a great singer if he had cultivated his voice. McTweet: The trouble with Peebles was that he didn't cultivate it enough, but he irrigated it too much. -43- HOWE-ITE HUMOR SEEMS FAIR Bill: Hey, boss, Dr. Smith is outside with a blowout. Malco'm: Fine! Diagnose it as flatulency of the perimeter, let him fix it himself, and send him a bill for S5 for professional services.

Mr. Lydcn: It's a word that means the same as a word you can't spell. Innis: Is that so? I thought it was what they put in those sticky buns in a bakery.

Leavitt: My Dad takes things apart to see why they won't go. H. Nolan: So what? M. Leavitt: So you'd better go. Three slightly deaf men were motoring to London in an old, noisy car, and consequently hearing was difficult. As they were nearing the city, one asked: Is this Wembley? No, replied the second, this is Thursday. So am I, put in the third. Let's stop and have one. Pat: What do you work at '? Red: At intervals. Ruth rode on my motorcycle On a seat in back of me. I took a bump at sixty And rode on Ruthlessly. Clerk: lim sorry, lady, but we can't issue you a license if your form isn't filled out properly. Applicant: Sir! I can drive an auto no matter what I look like. Ray: Did you ever take chloroform ? Shortie: Navy-Who teaches it ? Generally speaking, women are generally speaking.
