S. Howe, , bearing us, a lively and eager group of freshmen, who were now entering senior high. Our long journey towards graduation had at last begun. After the thrill of being in senior high wore off, we settled down to the task of appointing an adviser and electing the officers who would lead us in the many activities that were to follow. Miss Marjorie Shaw was appointed adviser, and the following officers were elected: president, Russell Dixon, vice-president, Virginia Brouillardg secretary, Ruth Bourque, and treasurer, Charles Gauthier. Our first party held on board ship was a dance on Valentine's Day. The decorations consisted of hearts and cupids that were pasted on all the walls. The dance, a huge success, was enjoyed by everyone. Before saying farewell for the summer, a successful roller skating party was held on the deck of the ship. During the summer we returned several times to enjoy other roller skating parties with our classmates. September came, and we returned to the ship to start again on our long journey. We were now sophomores and a step nearer to our goal. Our officers, the same officers who led us so successfully through our freshman Voyage, were chosen to lead us again. A dance was held in October on the night of Hallowe'en. The hall was decorated with witches, skeletons, and other weird creatures. Many enjoyable skating parties were again held before we docked the boat for the summer. The S. S. Howe carried a jubilant group of juniors now, because we were nearer our goal and also because everyone was looking forward to the Junior Promenade. The same officers we had in the previous years were chosen again. The Promenade was a very beautiful affair. The auditorium was the scene of a spring festival. Through the untiring efforts of the many committees, it was a very beautiful sight to behold. We again parted for the summer but returned several times to the boat for skating parties. Seniors, at last! We were now busy with the many activities of senior year. Our first event was a formal, a winter carnival, held in January, decorated to represent snowmen carrying banners of varied hues, listing senior couples attending the affair. The grand march, with intricate movements, led by president and vice-president, Russ and Ginny , highlighted the evening. Although it was cold, a good time was had by all. Our next event was a senior play, Brother Goose . The cast, coached by Miss Myra Roberts, was as follows: Edward Wells, Constance Brown, Claire Wentworth, Carol Petersen, Margaret McGrath, Russell Dixon, Ruth Bourque, Mary Lou Lewis, Kenneth Sheehan, Emelia Marynowski and Helen Tintle. The play was a huge success. Graduation was at last in sightg and so with preparations for the big event, we say farewell to the S. S. Howe , the ship that had carried us, the class of 1945, happily through our four years together. M.

CWUE T anew his many friends and former Allawi? patrons of his old establishment on U ll Drury Street, graduates of Howe Q OR, N ' High School, class of 1945, in W Billerica. The festivities are directed very fl W capably by the debonair master -of - l l , HOHGHT ceremonies, Squawlc David. , ' l. Ruth, Bourque, personal secretary, Whose duties include keeping the books of the club, is seen here in the office of the club's manager, Frank -- W Slocoinb, who has just been named Esquire's Man of the Year. Along with Mr. Dryden, greeting people, is the head hostess, Barbara Eaton. Barb has had several movie offers, but she prefers her work in the Dry-Den. Among the first patrons to arrive are Ned Wells, one of the most popular heartbreakers - until he was caught- and Mrs. Wells, the for- mer Helen Tintle, who declares that keeping tabs on the children and on Neddie keeps her scampering. And there is the girl with the cutest pair of dimples in town, the queen of the Dilnples' Club, Louise Glennon. Suddenly our attention is directed toward the stage as the curtain rises on the Spotlight Band of the Week with its rendition of Drum Boogie, featuring Gene Krupa Gauthier and torch singer, Frances Langford Keaney. The ever popular Harry James Dixon flourishes his baton, our maestro di cappella. Well! Do you see whom I see? William Waite, the noted French professor at a very exclusive girls' school, is here. Richard Boliannon, that gentle little hunk of man, is the considerate bouncer in this club. His policy is to throw out only those who do not seem to be having a good time. Let us stop here beside this foursome talking over old times. The predominant voice is that of the new Hollywood COTl lQCllGllllQ, Elainw Crandall. Almost equally well heard is Rufh Healy.

W He plays the butler roles that used to N belong to Arthur Treacher. Another Brown here tonight is M Connie Brown, now the twenty-fifth av 51-AGE ' so Mrs. Tommy Manville. husband. She met him when she was training to be a nurse. He was one of her patients. We overhear in another quarter that Jean Fill1nore's archaeologist husband has taken her to the Yucatan. He says that down there he knows where she is nights. Paul Wadleigh arrived rather late. He came directly from Carnegie Hall, where he had given a violin concert. We have just discovered that the pretty little dark-haired dancer participating in the floor show tonight is our own Dottie Hansen. Bernadette Knlski has not arrived yet, although she is expected at any minute. She wired that she missed the plane she was planning to get from Buenos Aires, and that she would have to wait for the next one that left an hour and a half later. We were surprised. Bernie never missed a bus when she was in school. Nancy Lunt just ilew into town with her newly acquired husband Lord Alexander Wesniewski in their private plane from their summer home on the Riviera. If you don't see George Gore here tonight, you can listen to his dry and intelligent humor over NBC every Wednesday evening. Over there is Edwin Gibb, now playing guard with the Chicago Bears, and doing very well for himself. Franny Glayin, arriving after playing professional basketball tonight, says he is playing the sport in order to put his children through college. Lorraine H onlne is missing from the group. Her absence is possibly due to the fact that she has just recently opened a day nursery. She had plenty of experience for such an establishment while she was still in high school. ' Janet MeColongh, the navy nurse who was voted The Nurse with Whom We'd Most Like to be Marooned Anywhere by thousands of sailors, brings us news that Jean Ellis is trying to master the Swedish language so that she can converse with her husband, a sailor who helped man the Gripsholm, back in 1945. ,22.... HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK Judy Marshall, now a famous musician, has her own program, Take It or Leave lt, that may be heard every Sunday evening at 9 :30 p.m. There is among the gay folk here tonight, a. distinguished figure in the person of Phil Ward, the American ambassador to Siam. Another high-ranking personage is Donald Sehult, who is a Rear Admiral in the United States Navy. He joined the Navy ranks during his senior year at Howe. Remember? William Coy is in Movieland. He usually plays the role of the pre- cocious little boy, and very well, too. We learn that Barbara Conway is the head telephone operator for the Pay in Advance Hotel here in New York. Dottie Rabidou, who is seen near-the check room, has a very good position as private secretary to the president of a large bank in town. Barbara F ranz, an eminent psychiatrist, has her office in the Empire State Building, she proudly declares to all who are interested in hearing. Rita Caissie is here with her husband. She started out taking dic- tation, but now the boss takes it. Here comes Lindy Snell, who has just built his millionth car, the Flash The Charles Coriniers are entering now. Mrs. Cormier certainly has some beautiful furs, since Charlie spends most of his spare time hunting and trapping. We see -over there, the newest star of Broadway, Alice Wilson. She is with her leading man, Horace Howright. Many of the class of 45 have received flying f- lessons from Power Dive Cameron at his flying Held. He is at the moment being besieged by auto- graph hunters. Mary Lou Lewis, we see, is on from California for the opening of the Dry-Den . She is making a name for herself as a director in Hollywood. We have another resident of Sunny California in N the person of Ginny Brouillard, hula-hula dancer in a famous night spot. The well known musical instructor, Barbara Hughes, has just entered with one of her former pupils. He never made any progress because neither of them could keep his attention on the music. Janice Turner is here with her husband - a duke no less. Peggy McGrath has altered considerably since graduating. She has started to grow up! It must be her family of six. Mary Morgan's presence lends a lot of dignity. She is a member of the editorial staff of a well known newspaper. That illustrious research chemist Eddie Dugan can be seen above the heads of the crowds. He is ac- , 2:1 - HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK companied by his wife, Lennea Johnson, the editor of the exclusive maga- zine Styles for the Tiny Woman. Peggy Joyce is not here tonight. We hear that she is working very hard for the good of her patients at the hospital where she works. Or is it for the handsome medico that she is working hard? Betty Leavitt is alone tonight. Any day her face may be seen on the cover of a popular magazine. Betty is a Walter Thornton model. Helen G'I l'l7lG.S' has been very busy since turning domestic. She lives on a farm where she raises children and hogs. Emelia Marynofwslin' has dropped her best ofiice manner for the evening in order to enjoy herself. She makes a very eilicient secretary and bright- ens the office tremendously, we hear. Kenny', Sheehan is holding down the position of chief engineer of the refrigeration department of the General Electric plant. A resident of Tewksbury, Viola Wilson, is here among us. Everyone knows why she now resides in Tewksbury. The famed shipbuilder, Grover Derry, is here. His hobby is building and racing model ships. Mariel Turner is doing detective work for the government. John Glavnfn, after handling the pigskins at Howe, has taken to raising them for a hobby in his spare moments. Carol Petersen, now the business manager of a large printing estab- lishment, has not failed to show up tonight to see her old friends. It could be that she is looking for a few more subscriptions. Claire Wentworth is often seen downtown with various of her ten children, although she is alone tonight. We have either seen or had news of all of the class of '45, ten years in advance, so let us now leave the Dry-Den as unobtrusively as We entered it, and return to the year, 1945.

When Coach Sullivan resigned, a new coach was not found until a few days before the first game. Meantime, showing the Howe High spirit, the football boys practised by themselves and got into good physical shape. Phil Collins was then appointed coach, and it was a confident team that entered the first game against Dracut. All season long the team was hampered by injuries and ineligibilities, but the boys played hard and attained a successful season. 1. HOWE 27 DRACUT 0 The Howe team proved to be the superior of the two teams that were rated as even bef-ore the game. The team got off to a flying start, which proved that Coach Collins had done an outstanding job in his few days as coach. 2. ST. lVIARY'S, WALTHAM 19 HOWE 0 This was a hard, gruelling game. After the Howe gridsters had held a big, well-trained St. Mary's team to a one touchdown lead for three-quarters of the game, the St. Mary's boys rolled over the tired Howe eleven for two more touchdowns, which sewed up the game. 128.. HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK 3. HOWE 6 WILMINGTON 6 This g'ame was the season's heartbreaker. The Howe High grids- ters held a sparkling one touchdown edge for most of the game by virtue of their powerhouse running drive. Late in the last quarter, after the game had been all in. favor of the Howe team, Wilmington, tied the game by means of their good passing attack. The Howe High team's pass defense left something to be desired. 4. HOWE 6 WESTON 0 The Howe High eleven journeyed to Weston to play in the first morn- ing game of the year. The two teams battled on even terms until the Green and White pushed over the winning touchdown late in the last quarter. 5. LEXINGTON 1 HOWE 0 After the Howe team had beaten Lexington 6 to 0 in a game filled with thrills of goal line stands and hard running, the game had to be forfeited because of a violation of the eligibility rules. 6. HOWE 6 TEWKSBURY 0 The Howe gridsters entered enemy territory for the third time, and came out with another hard earned win. This game was mainly a battle between two big, evenly matched lines. After a Tewksbury touchdown was nullified earlier in the game, the Howe team penetrated Tewksbury's territory and end zone on a sustained march. On this march the Tewks- bury line made a great goal line stand, but the Howe boys had the stuff to put the ball over. 7. STONEI-IAM 13 HOWE 0 The Stoneham team was superb as it ground out a decisive win over the hard fighting Howe High eleven. Although the Howe boys tried hard, they were outclassed by Stoneham's big linemen and flashy backs, even so, a few breaks and the game would have ended in a tie. 8. CONCORD 19 HOWE 7 The Howe High team entered Concord's football field as a slight favorite, but they were completely outplayed throughout most of the game. The Howe team displayed power on their down march, but the rest of the game was all Concord's. Some hard practise followed this disappointing game. 9. HOWE 6 CHELMSFORD 6 The usual thriller took place on Chelmsford's field on Thanksgiving Day. The field was very muddyg but even so, each team displayed fine football. After Chelmsford had scored first on a line plunge after a long' march, the Green and White came back and scored on a short pass play. Both teams failed in their attempts to get the point after touchdown. The closeness of the game is seen when one realizes that each team got nine first downs. -291 0 9 lf..

Claire Wentworth led the girls, with Emelia Marynowski, Virginia Brouillard, Helen Tintle, Betty Leavitt, Peggy Joyce, Connie Brown, Wilma Stark, Virginia Kilmartin, Peggy Glavin, and Dorothea Sands assisting her. Under the supervision of Miss Marjorie Shaw, assisted by Peggy McGrath, the girls set a new record in Howe cheerleading. The girls accompanied the boys to the football rally to set the stage for the Chelmsford game and to show the squad that all loyal Howe rooters were solidly supporting the Howe team. -31..

Under the direction of Coach John Sullivan, they achieved a mediocre season. After being beaten 13 to O in the first game by a fine Keith team, the Howe High ballhawks proceeded to take the measure of the Tewksbury, Wilmington, Philip's Academy, and Chelmsford teams, thus, at the end of the first half of the season the team had four wins and one loss to their credit. In the second half of the season, they reversed this total of wins and losses. The final standing was five wins and five losses for the Howe High ballplayers, Francis Glavin, Henry Casey, Russell Dixon, Paul Wells, Irving Clark, Bruce Lloyd, Clarence David, Ray Trainor, Walter McCusker, Paul Wadleigh, Ned Wells. Leo Plourde and Edwin Gibb were team managers. .-32-. HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK 11670144 ' dgaalmtball The basketball candidates started practice early in December, and so were in good trim when they played and beat the Alumni in the first game of the season. Under the coaching of Phil Collins, the team has beaten the teams from Burlington, Grenier Field, Tewksbury, Lowell Club, and Dracut.

Under the capable direction of their adviser, Miss Marjorie F. Shaw, a full program was planned, with one special activity for each month. The schedule of functions was as follows: October-hayrideg Novem- ber-victory hopg December-Christmas partyg January-splash party, February-skating party, March-Tri-Delta danceg April-theater partyg May-scavenger hunt. Each of these events was well attended by an enthusiastic group, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Another special feature of this year's club Was the Weekly luncheon meeting. Every Wednesday noon the girls met for informal chat over their lunch, and then a regular business meeting was held. The officers of the club were president, Alice Wilson, vice-president, Mary Lou Lewis, secretary, Constance Browng treasurer, Dorothy Rabidou. ' -40...

Buck Auditorium under the joint sponsorship of the high school glee club and the orchestra, on the evening of Friday, May eleventh. Special- ties, solos, and group selections will be presented. For the one hundred members of the club such a program would be most Welcome. -41- HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK 0 The orchestra of the high school has done an admirable piece of Work this year.
