CHITTIM Former Superintendent of Schools At Commencement the Seniors look back upon what seems to have been a short four years, now that the last of those years has come. I know that, in this time we have spent together here, lessons have been learned and friendships have been formed which will be enduring. I hope that the old school will always have a high place in your regard, and I believe that the class of 1947 will do credit to them- selves and to Howe High. CYRIL D. LOCKE, Principal The world you face is a big question markg but so it has been to each new generation. Don't let it frighten you, the problems are not as great as your strength to meet them. The work of your hands and brains, the spirit of co-operative service, faith in yourself and the eternal verities: in these lie the solutions of the problems and the guarantees that our heritage is secure in your hands.

The new locomotive had just begun its four-year journey. Under the leadership of the train's officials-Douglas Hall, Anna McCusker, Dorothea Sands, and Robert Austin,-the group set off. They were ably advised by Miss Mary Kierce. Many good times were enjoyed during the first year's journey. A Valentine Dance was sponsored by the group on February 18. Before stopping the train for summer vacation, the Class of '47 ran a roller skating party at Dolan's Casino. It was a most enjoyable night. On June 24, the train made its first stop for summer vacation. That following September the Freshman Class, '47, became the Sophomore Class, '47. The train, this time, gained more speed, being a little more experienced on the track. This time the officers were John Knight, Anna McCusker, Gladys Marynowski, and Robert Austin. The adviser again was Miss Mary Kierce. The Sophomores held a dance, in celebration of Halloween, and also a roller skating party. Once again the train stopped for a few months during summer vacation. The third year found the Class of '47 ready for its big event, .the Junior Prom, Stardust, to be held on May 17. A most enjoyable time was had by all, and the class received many compliments for their efforts. This year the officers were John Knight, Grace Martell, Eileen Hurley, and Robert Austin. Our conductor this year was Miss Patricia Royal, succeeding Miss Kierce, who had resigned her position at Howe High to enter business. The Senior Play, Mr. Pim Passes By, starring Elsa Tuttle, William MacDonald, Eileen Hurley, John Marshall, Stanley Hedberg, Shirley Blair, and Nancy Gasser, with Duchess as their mascot, was ably coached by Miss E. Ruth Belcher and was acclaimed one of the best of the dramatic productions to be seen at Howe. The Tri-Delta Girls' Club held a Victory Hop, and several other successful parties. The officers were Eleanor Swanson, Marion Watts, Lois Smith, and Grace Martell. They were ably advised by Miss Mary Wood. At last, Class of '47 reached its final destination-Graduation-on June 18, 1947, to terminate a four-year journey of cherished memories and friendships.

With the sound of the Howe war cry ringing in the air, the Billerica Indians started on the warpath by massacring a weak Ayer tribe on our home hunting grounds. After this first taste of victory blood, the Howe Indians succeeded in scalping Wilmington on her own territory. The tomahawk had to be sharpened again for the big attack on the visiting Dracut tribe, who were defeated by the Howe tribe. At the next massacre, in which our Indians won over a weak and divided Burling- ton party, our tribe suffered the loss of Warrior John Terris for the season. His loss to the team was evident when the Lexington Minutemen defeated our tribe on Howe territory. Howe was ambushed at Tewksbury for a victory which cost Howe the Merrimack Valley Suburban League title. The Indians changed their pace when they scalped a powerful Stoneham tribe. Our braves' attack left the strong visitor bewildered and beaten. A powerful Concord tribe proved too much for our visiting braves. Although Howe was beaten, Concord was left thoroughly battlescarred. A highly rated Johnson tribe left Howe hunting grounds minus some scalps when our braves won again, ending the ninth battle of the season. No war dance was needed to get our Indians keyed up for the Turkey Day battle with Chelmsford on the latter's territory. The battle ended with Howe the victor and permanent owner of the Westlands Improvement Association Trophy, which has been the object of many a battle between Howe and Chelmsford. Jack Redman, who starred for Howe in all of the massacres by his running and passing, played his best in this Chelmsford game, as did every brave on the team. Although braves John Terris, Hank Henry, and John Redman suffered wounds during the season, Howe came home to rest, till next year, with a battle score of 7 wins and 3 losses.

V-i-c-t-o-r-y! That's how you spell it! Here's how you yell it! Victory! Victory! Yah! At the Howe High football games this year, the cheers for victory were led by eleven peppy Howe girls, who wore green uniforms trimmed with white and decorated with the letter The head cheerleader, Peggy Glavine, was ably assisted by Sandy Sands, Dottie Olivieri, Shirley Shaw, Lois Muck, Shirley Clark, Mary O'Neill, Eileen Cameron, Susan Jean, Jean Kilmartin, and Marion Meserve. Mary A. Fitzgerald of the faculty coached the girls, and Diana Moss served as manager. The day before the Thanksgiving Day game, a rally was heldg and the cheerleaders were escorted into the auditorium by the football players. The student body was given an excellent opportunity to practice the various cheers in preparation for the big game with Chelmsford. The work of cheering the teams on to victory was also continued during the basketball season. To these girls, one of the largest and liveliest groups of cheerleaders that the school has ever had, we are grateful for the interest and the color you brought into the Howe High athletic program. -30- K HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK LMA' Baalmtball The Howe girls started practice in December, under the direction of Coach Eleanor Wain. By alternating practice sessions with the boys' basketball team, the girls were able to prepare for this year's schedule of games, the first league game being in January. The record indicates that they practiced faithfully, for the girls' team beat the teams from Dracut and Johnson twice, and also the team from Burlington. The girls have not only won games in the league but have won several games outside of the league. As this Yearbook goes to press, the season is not yet over. However. we expect Howe's girls' team to be in the nrst division in the final league standing when the last game has been played. The final league activity will be the basketball banquet, to be held at Howe High on the evening of March eighteenth. The members of the team are co-captains Marilyn Gracie and Mary O'Neill, Jean Kilmartin, Elsa Tuttle, Virginia Greathead, Claire Belyea, Nancy Marshall 6 assistant managerl, Stella Landry, Shirley Clark, Phyllis Smith, Betty Innis fmanagerb, Lorraine Lambert, Laura Waitz, Mary Gordon, Betsy Crombie f assistant managerb, Marjorie Richards, Eileen Cameron, Martha Gross, Joan Scott, Ruth Murphy, Eileen Hurley, Olga Sachuruk, and Dorothea Sands. The scores of the games played to date are as follows: Howe Dracut Howe Burlington Howe Chelmsford Howe Johnson Howe Johnson Howe Tewksbury Howe Burlington Howe Dracut Howe Tewksbury ,31- W' MZQMIX 43044 ' Baalmtlvall The Howe boys, under the direction of coach Dick Burns, started practice early in December. It was evident that the boys were inexperienced, but as the season pro- gressed there was a marked improvement. The boys' team beat teams from Johnson and Burlington. Although the record is not very good on paper, the team feels it has profited greatly from the coaching and the experience of the games. The traditional game between Chelmsford and Howe, at Howe, has not been played as this goes to press. There have also been made plans for a basketball banquet to be held at Howe. The members of the team are: Captain Ray Trainor, Lloyd Crandall, Stanley Hedberg, George Gracie, John Marshall, Joseph Cavahaugh, John Jacobs. Richard Forsely, John Redman, John Terris, Howard Conway, James Pelletier, John Scaringi, Manager George Nickless, William MacDonald, Richard Cusick, and Lawrence DeBenidictis.

Milne's Mr. Pim Passes By, coached and directed by Miss E. Ruth Belcher, was an outstanding success. The cast, each ideally adapted for his indivdual part, was as follows: Mr. Pim, remembered for his eccentricities and short memory, which upset the Whole Marden household, was admirably played by Stanley Hedberg, George Marden, an English squire, who took great pride in the family name, was well portrayed by William MacDonald, Dinah, George Marden's love-struck niece and Ward, was charmingly played by Eileen Hurley, Olivia, Dinah's aunt who tried to help the lovers, was superbly played by Elsa Tuttle, Brian Strange, struggling young artist, who loved Dinah, was well played by John Marshall, Lady Marden, George Marden's aunt, a stiff, prim, old lady who disapproved of the younger generation, was ably played by Shirley Blair, and Ann, the maid, was our own Nancy Gasser. The class of 1947 is indeed grateful to Miss Belcher, whose coaching efforts were rewarded by one of the outstanding dramatic performances in Howe's history. 'YH HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK 5.934 raw 7 jnj- malta DUTY DEFEREN CE DECORUM As in previous years the girls of the senior class organized and formed the Tri-Delta Club of '47, The officers elected by the girls are as follows: President, Eleanor Swanson, vice-president, Marion Watts, secretary, Grace Martell, and treasurer, Lois Smith. To our adviser, Miss Mary Wood, We are most: grateful for her most valuable assistance. Among some of the outstanding activities sponsored by the club were the Victory Dance, which was held on Thanksgiving Eve, a Christmas Party, a splash party, and a mothers' tea. The club is called to order each Wednesday noon in one of the class- rooms. Thus, members mix business with pleasure and eat their lunches during the meeting. During the year, the girls have helped the Athletic Association by selling tickets at the various games held at Howe High. On the whole, the girls have had a great deal of fun working together to prepare for the various club activities, as well as having fun in partici- pating in the activities themselves. ', To all the students and the faculty who helped our parties to be suc- cessful during the year, we express our thanks. To the future club of '48, the Tri-Delta girls of '47 extend their best wishes for a successful year. -35- HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK len gm The Glee Club is divided into two sections, one of which consists of mixed voices, and the other that of an all-girl chorus.
