HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK fiaJjiwik, fiarwAanuL Through the faint shadows of dying sunset, a young man in a navy-blue uniform was making his way leisurely to the Stage Door Canteen on, Boston Road. With his head thrown high and his chest expanded a few inches, this sailor, known to his Billerica friends as “Zeke” Young, entered the crowded building. After glancing around the hall, “Zeke’ recognized many familiar faces, many of whom were dressed in the ' uniform of some branch of the armed forces. Over a glass of coca-cola, “Zeke” chatted with Harvey Nolan, a Marine, and together they reminisced their happy, carefree, school days while they were students at Howe High School and spoke of how many of the 1943 graduates were now helping Uncle Sam in one way or another. According to them, Malcolm Alcorn is now a chemist. He is per- fecting’ ' a secret weapon that will make the enemy disappear into thin air. Because of his dangerous work, he is constantly being guarded by Ray- mond Brown, a secret service agent. “Pat” Bannister has joined the Spars and is now editor of their weekly magazine, “The Paint and Powder Leathernecks.” Helen Barry is the physical instructor at Camp Evon, where the New WAAC recruits are sent to become strong and healthy. Boh Behan has recently become a sergeant in the army. From what we have heard, he has become the toughest sergeant at his camp. Margaret Bourque is now a member of the Naval Intelligence. She has brought many criminals to justice. Emilie Bouvier has done her part for the war by organizing and leading a group of young women who entertain the service men by their dancing. After marrying a buck private, Eleanor Brouillard moved to Texas, where her husband is now stationed. She has acquired a real western accent. “Malcie’ Broivn has recently won a jitterbug contest held for sailors only. He is now the champion of the Naval jitterbugs. Tom Broivn was recently awarded a medal for his bravery while fighting. He rescued the captain of his ship by crawling along the edge of the boat while the enemy was still shooting. Leonard Brown, because of his tremendous physical power, has been chosen to represent his camp in a wrestling match. Russell Campbell has greatly aided his camp by getting over a thousand subscriptions for their new weekly newspaper, “The We-Know-All-About-You.” His experiences as Howe High Year- book subscription manager helped, no doubt. Anna Capobianco is a bus driver for the “Jerk and Jolt” Bus Company of New York City. — 25 —
