The degree to which we have suc- ceeded in this has depended upon the guidance we have received from the faculty of Howe High, who have always been willing to aid us in our di- versified activities and have spent their time unselfishly and untiringly. It is not in our power to express adequate thanks individually to everyone who has helped make our school years successful. Therefore, we, the Class of 1949, do hereby offer our yearbook in dedication to Howe High School and to all those who have made it a lasting memory and a permanent mile- stone in our lives. Our deepest gratitude we do now express as payment of our most weighty debt to Mr. Martinson, our superintendent; Mr. Locke, our principal; Miss Richardson and Mr. Burke, our senior advisers; and the rest of the faculty—all members of the Howe High family. a ee @ Faculty 10. 1F. 12. 13. 14.

EDWIN A. MARTINSON Superintendent EDWIN A. MARTINSON Superintendent How often we have heard it said,— “America is the land of opportunity.” Some people incline to the belief that this is true only of the years now past. They would say that there are now no | frontiers to cross, no room in which to develop new resources and hence no new opportunities. However, for the courageous and the prepared there is still the chance for advancement, since they are ready to find the opportunity where none seems to exist. That you may take your place among these is our best wish for you at your gradua- tion. CYRIL D. LOCKE Principal : A CYRIL D. LOCKE wd Mire ; Principal a cay Ve COLE, Nic ers President .......

They only said I'd meet the foe. And then I sailed across the sea, Knowing not how long I'd be. I met the foe And he met me. ’ Twas then that I began to cry, ’Cause then I knew I was to die. The pain was great; The death was slow. Just how it was Yow ll never know. When I was found, On the cold ground, I had no name, Yet I’d have fame. IT am the Unknown Soldier.

The wagon commanders, Miss Mary G. Quinn, George Gracie, Nancy Marshall, Kathryn Ann Lewis, and Ruth Ward, helped to prepare the eager adventurers for the voyage that was to bring them both pleasure and knowledge. The first year was an experience for these wayfarers; and their first party, the St. Patrick’s Day Dance, provided funds to start their trip. Thus, this year can be recorded in the caravan records as a pleasant beginning for the years that were to follow. A year passed, and still the travelers moved onward under the guidance of newly elected leaders, Miss Richardson, Richard Belanger, Nancy Marshall, Viriginia Greathead, and John Loring. Work, experi- ence, and lessons, well-learned, constituted the onward trek. On Halloween, progress was halted long enough to have a dance which provided both rest and enjoyment. Later, by a small lake, Nuttings’, to be exact, the journey was halted again. Here, a roller skating party was held, after which the caravan moved on again with even more zest. With fruitful knowledge thus gained, we advanced to meet and to overcome more easily and successfully attendant obstacles. Miss Dorothy Richardson, Bradley Jacobs, Nancy Marshall, Susan Jean, and John Lor- ing were in charge of the caravan, and the wagons rolled along with ease as the third year of their journey came into view. The most important dance held by these prospectors was “Moonlight and Roses”, the Junior Prom. ats of this event will linger always in the minds of those who at- tended. The goal was now in sight. Their destination was just over the horizon. Excitement was growing stronger, while a play was produced to provide further funds. A comedy, June Mad, the story of a lovesick teen-ager, well merited the plaudits of all lovers of amateur dramatics. One of the group, Mrs. Alice Card, adept at coaching, helped the cast: Susan Jean, Roland Smith, Helen Corkum, Duncan MacLennan, Bradley Jacobs, Kathryn Ann Lewis, Claire Boyland, Louis Tuleja, Barry Lynch, Richard Derby, Lorraine Lambert, Arthur Johanson, and Ruth Murphy to present laudable performances. A club, the Tri-Delta, consisting of the women members of the caravan, was formed. Dances, parties, and food sales formed the list of activities of this active group. They did much to raise money for their group. Now it was June 1949. Again in Forty-nine there has been another gold-rush. It has taken these prospectors four years to gain the greatest “gold” ever discovered, knowledge. The caravan is breaking up now; each wagon will go on toward a separate goal; but all have the same wealth, a golden education as their best promise of success. SUSAN JEAN ae Se alias, Will Pid, LA Pies of the GER of 1949 Be it remembered by all that we, the Class of 1949 of the Howe High School, Town of Billerica, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind (we think) and memory, and knowing full well the many difficulties that may befall us, do make this our last will and testa- ment, hereby revoking all wills made by us at any previous date. We do bequeath and devise as follows: FIRST: I, Emily Streitmater, leave my “academic” pursuits to Ruth Strom. SECOND: I, Joan McGeouch, leave all my friends, with the ex- ception of “Marnie’”’ to join the W.A.F.’s. THIRD: I, Mi riam Dickie, leave my place in the chorus line to Barry or “Bobby”. FOURTH: I, Audrey (Legs) Lloyd, leave that part of my anato- my to the girl who wants to be Miss America of 1950.

After a bril- liant forward pass from “ZEKE” WILSON of the ‘‘Cream Puffs” to “Happy” ROBBINS, the game was declared a tie. Reason?.. .

Do you want an alluring complexion like Miss Dickie’s? Do you want a man like Miss Dickie’s charming fiance, ROGER LAM- BERT? Well then, try our Woodburn night-cap — and have lovelier, fresher, FLAKIER skin.” AND NOW BACK TO WALCHELL WIN- TER. Hello again, Mr. and Mrs. America. I’m back with the sensational “book of the month” release about the current best seller, “Keyhole Incorporated,” by MARGARET LEAHY. Miss Leahy, known to her intimates as “Black Maggie,” has retired from public life as head of a gambling casino to become an authoress of best-sellers. Here is the story of the book. The story opens with F.B.lI. Head, HARRY MARTELL, ordering the ar- rest of the following on charges of subversive activity: J. DALEY, L. TULEJA, R. SEN- NA, J. SUTCLIFFE, L. SPONAGLE, M. CARMICHAEL, E. CONQUEST, and C. CONWAY !! The plot is unfolded by a series of flashbacks. It seems that tne ring has been slipping out important government documents and formulas through unknown channels. So, Detectives “Mac”? McGURN, of Homicide, and his partner in criminal detection, NANCY MARSHALL, of Petty Larceny, were put on the trail. They uncovered the fact that “Gentleman Jim’ DALEY and LOUIS “The Eye” TULEJA had been spying on government offices. Daley looked over transoms, while Tuleja had the keyhole de- partment. They had been watching the lab- oratory of Doctor DAVID SEWELL for months. “Confederate,” “Slippery Sam” SENNA broke into the laboratory of Nuclear Physicist, Sewell, and left carrying the for- mula, H.0, for an atomic atomizer. Our detec- tives, in disguise, followed the trail of the formula to “Honest John” SUTCLIFFE’s “Little Theater off East Wharf,’ where the formula was slipped to LOUISE, “Swing-’n’- Sway,” SPONAGLE, a dancer in the show troupe. At the climax of the performance, the formula was concealed in a fan and flung into the audience by Miss Sponagle, where it 3 ( - surpassed was picked up by a man in black. Detectives McGurn and Marshall, watching from the third balcony, recognized the man in black as “Killer” CONQUEST, desperado. The “Killer” picked up the note and fled toward the rear of the theater. Detective Marshall took off after the Killer, while Detective Mc- Gurn stayed to see if anything else would be uncovered in the show. The Killer passed the formula to “Cautious” CARMICHAEL, who leaped into a taxi with Inspector Mar- shall at her heels. Returning to meet Detec- tive McGurn, Miss Marshall told him what had taken place, and the two brave law-men invaded the lair of the “Brains,” “RED” CONWAY. The entire spy ring was tried before JUDGE WILLIAM SUTTON. The authoress has introduced a new style in American literature, called the ‘‘Com- pletely-blank verse.”’ The profits from this book should be breath-taking. FLASH ... Critics report latest stage play to be a great success. The play, “Overboard for Love,” stars SUSAN JEAN and RO- LAND SMITH in the romantic leads. The Villian, played by BARRY LYNCH, has at- tracted universal attention. Musical director, BOB KELM, and the one hundred piece or- chestra are assisted by beautiful lighting and scenic effects, by FRANK RITTER, noted scenic artist. Among the famous personali- ties in Doctor Kelm’s Symphonic Orchestra are ETHEL GOODYEAR, harp impressario; MARGARET CAMERON, bass viol player; JOHN LORING, drummer; and JOHN THURSBY, flutist. Make-up director, MARY BARDEN, has Percy Westmore in technique. Miss Barden now advocates a new neon lip- stick for high-lighting the mouth. - The entire proceeds of this magnificent show are to be donated to the CARLENE HARTSHORN Memorial Fund for the pre- vention of cruelty to starving gold fish. At the opening premiere of the play, many celebrities were seen among the “‘first- nighters.”” ARTHUR FILLMORE, owner of a famous dude ranch in Arizona, and his pretty wife, the former RUTH DONNELLY, were sitting in the first row box. Those two fiery society queens, MARY CAULFIELD and CONNIE CAVANAUGH, were seen in the lobby. They were escorted by dashing ARTHUR JOHANSEN, man - about - town, and FRANK LUCIANO, owner of a depart- ment store chain. FLASH ... LORRAINE LAMBERT, Olym- pic high-diving champion and JOAN Mc- GEOUCH, winner of the marathon, will give a personal appearance tour of the country, under the sponsorship of DOUGLAS MOR- RISON, athletic director at West Point. The two young experts will talk on the “Import- ance of Muscles to the Young Lady.” FLASH ... Miss Buff-Orphington JEN- KINS, owner of Palm Springs, will hold an- other of her famous society balls at her pent- house ballroom. This ball will be to herald the debut of JOAN DUCHARME and CLARE SHEEHAN into society. Many stars and celebrities will be present. And now, Mr. and Mrs. America, be- fore I bid you adieu, let me remind you that the Metropolitan Opera House opens Sunday, with RUTH MORRIS and JANICE ROG- ERSON, famous young divas, starring in “Carmen Gettit.”’ This is WALCHELL WINTER, YOUR WASHINGRON CORRESPONDENT, WISHING YOU LOTIONS OF LOVE, FROM WOODBURN. ; 3 ee le Vi epionees First day in high school .. . foot- ball games ... play rehearsals .. . “Pops” .. .

Ray “HELLY” HULETTE- “HALY WILSON — Howe (-heerleadors “Little red rooster Sitting on a fence Cheers for Howe High ’Cause he’s got sense.” This year at the various Howe High School football and basketball games, one might see the eleven, smart, peppy cheerleaders, intent upon their task of spurring the Howe athletes on to victory!! The girls’ uniforms, snappy creations of green and white trimmed with Green ‘H’s’’, created many favorable comments for their owners. The head cheer-leader, ‘Sue’ Jean, received able assistance from Audrey Lloyd, Claire Belyea, Lorraine Lambert, Ruth Murphy, “Ginny” Greathead, Jean Sullivan, Ruth Strom, Barbara Schmelzer, Thelma Hed- berg, and Mary Gibbons. All were capably supervised by their adviser, Miss Eleanor Wain, and their manager, Eleanor Daniels. The day preceding the Thanksgiving game, a football rally was held in the assembly hall of the high school. The cheerleaders were escorted into the auditorium by the football players, then led the student body in cheering in preparation for their annual game with Chelmsford. To these girls goes our gratitude for their many new cheers, acrobatics, and winning spirits at the games. 36 — Howe's League Champs The Howe girls started basketball practice early in December un- der the direction of Miss Gladys A. Boutillette. By alternating practice sessions with the boys’ team, the girls were able to prepare for the season schedule, which began in early January. The girls participated in the Lowell Suburban League. The teams included in the league were Chelmsford, Tewksbury, Dracut, Johnson, Burlington, and Howe. Transportation for the out-of-town games was furnished by busses. These rides were enjoyed by all. This is the first time since 1939 that the Howe girls have won the league championship. It is also the first time in the history of the Lowell Suburban League that a girls’ team has had ten straight wins. It will also be noted that this year’s team has been victorious in its seven extra- league games. The members of the teams wer e Captain Claire ‘‘Winnie” Belyea, Lorraine Lambert, ‘Pat’?

The team lacked experience at the beginning of the year; but as the season progressed, the boys began to show much promise. Their fighting spirit served as an incentive to improve Howe’s standings in league competition. During the season, the boys had a great deal of fun and gained muc h valuable experience. They participated in the Suburban League, which included Dracut, Burlington, Chelmsford, Johnson, Tewksbury, and Howe. A banquet, sponsored by the Suburban League, is expected to end the season. The players on the teams were Captain Harry Martell, George Gracie, Eddie McGurn, George MeGurn, Harland Robbins, Billy Cusick, James Daley, Paul Johansen, George Santos, Alden Cousins, Ted Cum- mings, Billy Robbins, Harold Tomkins, Grant Whiteway, Frank Luciano. The scores are as follows: Howe 35 Alumni 31 Howe 19 Tewksbury 24 Howe 33 Shirley 25 Howe 20 Dracut 27 Howe 20 Dracut 43 Howe 24 Chelmsford 41 Howe 19 Johnson 47 Howe 38 Johnson 37 Howe 14 Wilmington 16 Howe 35 Tewksbury 25 Howe 15 Chelmsford 50 Howe 39 Burlington 28 Howe 23 Burlington 44 Howe 55 Wilmington 42 38 — Baseball Joam The Howe High baseball team, ably commandeered by Coach “‘Chuck”’ Lampson, established its best record last year in the archives of Howe High when our hard hitting, fast moving team pounded out thirteen victor- ies over four losses. The four defeats which the opposing teams managed to inflict cost the Howe men the Merrimack Valley League title to Johnson of North Andover, and Howe had to be content with second honors. How- ever, even with the loss of last year’s seniors, Coach Lampson is confidently eyeing the League title for his charges in the “49” season. The team members were Captain “Dick” Ouellette, Captain-elect, “Bob” Loranger, George Gracie, “Ding” Belanger, ‘‘Dick”’ Forsley, ‘““Tom”’ Torpey, George Parker, Frank Luciano, “Jackie’’ Lyons, ‘“‘Eddie’” Nied- zwiecki, “Dick’’ Brown, Walter Reagan, Barry Lynch, “Bob”?

Ap Je Senton Play “June Mad’, a comedy in three acts, written by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, was presented by the senior class on December tenth in the Maurice A. Buck Auditorium. The play cast consisted of Susan Jean as Penny Wood, a pretty fifteen year old who tries to make herself sophisticated; Roland Smith as Chuck Harris, the ardent admirer of Penny; Helen Corkum as Mrs. Wood, the bewildered but helpful mother of Penny; Duncan MacLennan as Elmer Tuttle, a mischievous handyman; Bradley Jacobs as Dr. Wood, the very concerned father; Kathryn Lewis as Effie, a typical, comical maid; Claire Boyland as Milly Lou, the mischievous girl next door; Louis Tuleja as G. Mervyn Roberts, the debonair young brother of Mrs. Wood; Barry Lynch as Roger Van Vleck, a handsome play boy from college; Ruth Murphy as Julie Harris, a pretty, young debutante; Lorraine Lambert as Shirley Wentworth and Arthur Johansen as Ralph Wentworth, two dashing young friends of Penny; Richard Derby as Mr. Harris, the typical American father. We are greatly indebted for the time and the effort that Mrs. Alice S. Card contributed to make the play the great success that it was. ahaa Gow Jri-Delta Club This year, the girls of Tri-Delta, mindful of their motto of Duty, Deference, and Decorum, enjoyed a very progressive year. The officers chosen by the girls were as follows: president, Helen Corkum; vice-president, Doris Joncas; secretary, Carlene Hartshorn; and treasurer, Olga Sacharuk. Claire Belyea was chosen as social chairman and was ably assisted by her committee which consisted of Joan Jenkins, Susan Jean, Nancy Marshall, Audrey Lloyd, and Patricia Barton. Under the successful guidance of Miss Mary I. Wood, the girls held many social affairs which contributed much to the pleasure of their senior year. Among the special features were the Halloween Party; their Rug-Beat Hop; the very successful food sale; and their memorable spring dance. During the year, meetings were conducted socially each Wednesday noon in one of the classrooms. The Tri-Delta of ’49 extends its best wishes to the coming club of 50 and hopes that it will have as much enjoyment as they in all their ac- tivities. ny Fe Gloo (lub Two groups of voices were raised in merry song. One group was the chorus. All students who chose to participate in musical activities belonged to this large group of girls and boys. Chosen from this fine group of vocal students was a special group called the Glee Club. Miss Pauline Young was the director of both groups and did an excellent j ob of leading the choristers. Under the very capable direction of Miss Pauline Young, the Howe High School orchestra has produced many splendid interpretations of classical and popular selections. The students interested in music have been able to develop further their musical knowledge and instrumental technique. They also have been able to share in the valuable experience of playing together under a musical director. The orchestra has added great spirit to the school assemblies and other events throughout the year. Selections included in the orchestra’s repertoire are the ‘“March of the Little Tin Soldiers” by Pierne, the gay and spirited ‘Tambourine Dance” by Rameau, “The Mikado” by Sullivan, and the “Militant March of Progress’’, Herfurth. The members of the orchestra are as follows: violin section: Gerald- ine Musgrave, Ludolf Megow, Emily Streitmater, and Christle Hutchings; cello sections: Virginia Kelm, Geraldine Groves, and Karla Hutchings; flute section: Nancy Marshall, Joan Dormer, and James Shack; clarinet section: Jack Muise; trumpet section: David Riecks; trombone section: Louis Tuleja and John Cheney; drums: Edward Smith; piano: Kathryn Lewis and William Terris. — 46 — “Scholastic Review” ’ This year the “Scholastic Review,” again under the supervision of Miss Dora Kelley, attempted to provide the reading public of the Billerica News with the high school news of note. The feature articles and the biographical sketches of well-known Howe High students were continued by this year’s staff. Bits of the lighter and the brighter side of school life appeared in the “Dots and Dashes’”’ column, which proved to be one of the most popular of its features. The activities of the various classes, the organizations, the sports were reported on a weekly basis and were printed at the convenience and the discretion of the newspaper editors. The staff consisted of the following: co-editors — Eleanor Daniels and Carlene Hartshorn; feature editors — Olga Sacharuk, Kathryn Lewis, Margaret Rumrill, Patricia Murray, and Alden Cousins; class reporters — senior — Nancy Marshall; junior — Dorothy Lunt; sophomore — Lillian Stuart; Tri-Delta — Helen Corkum; junior high — Mary Luciano; sports — Virginia Greathead, Eugene Flint.
