LOCKE G Ass History Behold the marvel of this or any other age — the reminiscetelevision, a device for recording and retaining the memorable events of high school classes. As one turns on this set, one will receive a very pleasant surprise. On Channel One can be seen the class of 1950’s freshman year, 1946-47. The stars of the show, leading the class, are James Pelletier, Nancy Con- way, Mary Rabidou, and Wendell Sylvester, with Miss Arlene Johnson as their worthy adviser. The “babies” of the high school are starting out on their long, four-year journey. Trying to find the different rooms, looking up to the “seniors,” and “growing-up’”’ were the main functions of their lives at that time. The every day activities of this baby class are very in- teresting and amusing, indeed. On Channel Two may be glimpsed the drama of their sophomore year, 1947-48. With their newly-elected officers, John Capobianco, Dor- othy Lunt, Wendell Sylvester, and Nancy Conway, led by Miss Dora Kelley, the group again begins another year of “reading, writing, and arithmetic.” Their social activity for the year was a “Halloween Dance,” at which Harold Wilson made his entrance as a thespian. Yes, most of these sophomores were growing up and becoming more mature. Now on Channel Three, these wayfaring boys and girls have as their starring performers of this year John Capobianco, Barbara Schmel- zer, Wendell Sylvester, and Robert Wentworth, with Miss E. Ruth Belcher to guide them. They have become upper classmen, all. The great highlight of their schooldays, the Junior Prom, was held on May 138, 1949, at which Jean Sullivan was chosen Prom Queen, with her attendants, Nancy Dempsey, Mary Gibbons, Nancy Conway, Betty Mac- Pherson, Catherine Sapienza, and Dorothy Lunt. Class rings, sports, cheerleading, and dances made for a very in- teresting and entertaining school year. Yes, they had finally finished their first eleven years in preparation for the great “honor” of being a senior. And now, for the climaxing performance, let us switch to Channel Four. Alas! What is this we see? Could these young ladies and gentle- men be the frightened, immature freshmen we saw on Channel One? It seems almost impossible, yet it is true! Their newly-elected leaders, John Capobianco, Ruth Strom, John Hulett, and Catherine Sapienza, with Miss E. Ruth Belcher as their adviser, are directing the class’s course. Later Miss Belcher, who was granted a leave of absence, was succeeded by Mrs. Katherine Walsh. Class pictures, letter awards, class dances, yearbook editing, and sports made for a memorable last year of school days for the seniors. The Senior Play, entitled “Ring Around Elizabeth,” under the direction of Miss E. Ruth Belcher, was a complete success in every way. Stars of the show were Nancy Dempsey, Joan Scott, Charlotte Bernard, Dorothy Lunt, Patricia Murray, Geraldine Musgrave, Cornelius Cusick, John Capobianco, Douglas Cummings, Robert Corkum, and Charles Condon. The Senior Prom, held on February 10, 1950, also proved successful. And now, can be seen the finale of the greatest drama of all — grad- uation. Could it be true? Had we actually completed twelve years of schooling? Was this the end of our “high school days”? Yes, we were now ready to go out into the world and provide for ourselves. Thanks to the co-operation and the guidance of the entire faculty of Howe High School, we were now ready to start our long journey into this vast world and are also well prepared to meet and to overcome any obstacles which would tend to stand in the way of our success. To you all we are most grateful. J. KEEFE, Historian Chass Officer: President . .. . . JOHN CAPOBIANCO Vice-President . .

WALL ced Delon coed: of Wye (ER of 1950 Be it recalled to mind, (with much mental torment) that we, the one class to be “graduated” from Howe High in the year nineteen hundred and fifty, being of miraculously sound mind, and weak bodies, (after four years of constant struggle) not knowing what the future holds, do hereby proclaim this document as our last will and testament; (written by us as our last responsible act).

The foregoing document, (having been read and approved by all concerned), is declared, in the presence of all, to be the one and only (the legal) last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1950 and by request of the said class these people do hereunto subscribe their names as wit- nesses thereto. CLASS OF 1950 HAROLD PITTS MARJORIE MORAN BARBARA LYONS EDWARD SMITH MARY RABIDOU Les IE rophecy — 1960 Silence as heavy as Mrs. Dooley’s biscuits weighed down the intense group of seniors awaiting Mr. Lynch’s signal. ‘One minute to go. Are you ready?” he asked in a “Digger O’Dell’” voice. Silence. The awesome thought of seeing the future appear before their very eyes left them aghast. They were hearing footsteps on their graves. Mr. Lynch was about to throw over the main switch on their in- vention, the “Television of the Fu- ture.” The intricate machine has been perfected theoretically, but this was the zero moment for the actual test. With the unfaltering hand of an executioner, he threw the switch and pandemonium reigned. The World of Tomorrow was the World of Today! The years 1951, 52, ’53 — with familiar faces! Howe High graduates broke upon the huge screen. There were housewives, teachers, drivers, lawyers, doctors, jailbirds, office workers, policemen, servicemen, and service women. All Howe High pupils, actors on the screen of the future! 1954, 755, ’56— with town politicians, traffic en- gineers, bus drivers, harassed mothers, hen-pecked dads, slot machine ad- dicts, musicians, radio mechanics, legislators, geologists! 1957, ’58, 759 — 60! Mr. Lynch staggered. His tremulous fingers reached out and stopped the machine at that year. He just couldn’t take any more! He wasn’t so young as he used to be. 1960 was far enough into the future as he cared to intrude! The group in the darkened room sighed with relief. 1960 was future enough for them, too! Why, they would be practically old men and women then! They didn’t want things mapped out for them; they wanted to do and dare! Ah!! They straightened in their seats. What was going on at St. John’s? Well! Well! There were “Mama” STROM and ‘Daddy” CU- SICK and their noisy, bright-eyed quintruplets. The place was swarming with reporters and excited doctors. The four grandparents kept peeking at the babies, naming them, and agreeing that their children always were extraordinary ! The silent group held their breaths when the gorgeous “Venus” TODD, nationally known Calendar and Cover Girl, struck them between the eyes as she posed for a United States postage stamp. Then the strains of martial music filled the room as Col. DALE CRANDALL cadenced off, ‘““Hup, 2, 3, 4— Hup, 2, 3, 4 — Company, halt! At ease!’ The colonel examined and inspected the W.A.F. Company. With a quiet grin, he said: “Those of you airmen who have problems, and even if you have no problems, come to me for help. Don’t bother the chap- lain; he’s a busy man!” The well-intentioned colonel and his women faded out, and “Fas- cinating’’” SULLIVAN appeared on the screen like a glorious sunrise. Jean peeked out through a cloud of gayly-colored balloons; her bare, shapely feet were standing on a rainbow of broadway lights. Her brown eyes were demure in expression, but her drugstore eyelashes did things to the men in the audience. The picture was captioned “No Pins Permitted.” Broadway! Times Square! Grand Central — Oh-h! There stood JOAN KEEFE, starring in the Broadway hit, ‘Who Stole Venus from Room 21?” Joan will soon forsake Broadway, however, to “babysit” for CAROLE STU- ART, manufacturer of cobwebs and artificial dust. Is that CHARLOTTE BER- NARD! Why, yes! She’s return- ed for a post graduate course at Howe, with her affections centered upon that heartbreaker, “Gary Cooper’ CONDON, the new cooking and sewing teacher. As far as can be seen, Charlotte really works nights! Oh! Poor, hen-pecked CHARLIE O’HARA, attracting nation-wide attention, will undoubtedly sit up on that pole until “wifey” JOAN RIVAL signs a sworn statement that she won’t make him “walk” the dog at two in the morning. Famous surgeon, KAY SAPIENZA, suffered much indignation when MARY ARSENAULT, owner of a wolf kennel, hired the doctor to remove a splinter from one of her pets. Being brought back by Detectives LILLIAN BROWN, MARILYN MacDONALD, and PHYLLIS DERBY — WILLIAM SUTTON sobbed out his tragic story when asked why he stole the million and one half from the P. SULLIVAN Furniture Co., where he worked, as a bookkeeper, “It all went on bubble gum, and this is my last piece.” “King of the Hoboes,’ CHARLIE DELARUE, and carnival “queen,” BARBARA LYONS, have decided to collaborate on a book en- titled “Carnival Knights.” The book will portray the lives of the aristo- cratic Hobo. Now the televized “Bride of the Week” program flashed on the screen. Who was the unblushing bride? Could it be? Yes, it was GERRY MUSGRAVE, with her six-foot, bow-legged heart-throb. MARY RABI- DOU, mistress of ceremonies, queried the bride as to what her favorite love song was, to which the vivacious Gerry answered with a triumphant laugh, “The Gentleman is a Dope.” TEDDY NOBLE, noted “Ipana Man,” was seen raising St. ‘Ber- nards’”’ on his ranch in Texas. “Advice to the Lovelorn” columnist, PAULINE SURRETTE, has been legally entitled “Homebreaker of 1960.” Now DONALD HAMILTON and JOE DWYER, prominent mem- bers of the “Virgin Club,” which means that they have nothing whatever to do with girls, finally have decided that females won’t bite. Anyway, they’ve grown up now. . Well! MARJORIE MORAN has started her long trek back to her estate in the Kentucky mountains. She can take only so much of civiliza- tion before she feels compelled to return to the mountains, where she can “feel the wiggle of her toes, and her Li’] Abner’s arms once more!” BARBARA DUCHARME blushed as red as her hair when MARY TWOMBLY, her boss’s wife, caught her sitting on DONNELLY’s lap, while he examined the texture of Barb’s stockings. There were cries of consternation when McELHINEY appeared on the screen. What could be the matter with his mouth! It was all puck- ered up. But when the caption flashed on, the explanation was that his pose was not a result of playing “post-office,” but Kenneth was the official taste tester at a sour pickle factory! On a busy corner in Lowell could be seen the “Gift Exchange Shop,” with proprietors FRANNIE PADULA and EDDIE MITCHELL. There one could exchange, for a small fee, any unwanted gifts dear relatives and thoughtless friends might have inflicted upon one. Still on the shelves, with positively no takers, were two spinster members of the Howe High faculty, and Mr. Locke’s favorite curling lotion. A delicious aroma filled the room. Students and teachers stirred hungrily as curvateous “SCOTTY” giggled and munched golden-brown doughnuts. There on his arthritic knees was WENDELL, “the Father of Doughnuts.” Joan gratefully accepted his offering, but not himself. What next! Her Honor, NANCY DEMPSEY, Mayor of Pinehurst, kissing husbands as she toured her city! The boys groaned, “It’s a woman’s world.” The girls sighed enviously and began to be politically- minded. Mr. Lynch closed his eyes at the painful sight. To the left now appeared the Concord. No, it was the Shawsheen, come into its own at last, widened and beautified. On its right bank a permanent naval base had been established by Secretary of Defense, SHEZ Zi yaell Uitte At the same time young fathers wearily climbed the stairs of the Town Hall to attend a class on “What Every Young Father Should Know,” the instructor being BOB CORKUM, who had majored in the subject. The eager-beaver fathers gathered around as “HANK” WILSON struggled to pin a tidy-didy. He came up with a flushed face, a punctured thumb, and a firm resolve to get Bob outside and tie one on him! Boston Garden was packed to the rafters with the book-reading public to celebrate ‘““Author’s Week.” NOREEN LEAHY smiled her fa- mous smile at her readers and autographed her current novel, “I Was a Bigamist,” in her best shorthand. As Noreen’s countenance faded from view, so did the twenty borrowed fountain pens. The halls of Congress resounded to the ringing words of Congress- woman PAT MURRAY. Her constituents back home in Billerica wanted free hot dogs, coffee, packages of bubble gum, and heated benches at the Memorial Field football games. Congress applauded her vigorously, and promised Howe bigger and better footballs in the very near future. It was apple blossom time in Nashoba Valley in 1960. A macintosh- red-cheeked young woman, GEORGINA CAPEN by name, and single by choice, was buying up the whole Nashoba Valley apple crop to bankrupt her former boyfriend, “Tony,” king of the pushcarts. “Mae West” SCHMELZER, guest speaker at a V.F.W. National Convention, smiled teasingly and swung her “ample” hips as she drawled: “Why’en-cha’ come up and see my po-ems sometime?” JOHN McLENNAN, owner of the department store, scurried for Washington, to attend personally to an order from President EUGENE FLINT, most eligible bachelor in the country, whose election was assured by his loquacious speeches. Look! SHINKWIN, PITTS, and “MOUSY,” sporting beards a foot long, lay on the banks of the Concord as they pan ’60 gold; and close by NANCY CONWAY has set up a “chow wagon,” doing a thriving business. No profit in that, boys! Park Avenue’s wax keeper, MILTON GULLAGE, struggled des- perately to attire his charming manniken in the latest ‘M’Ladies’ Lingerie.” DOTTY LUNT, attorney-at-law, worked furiously to acquit her client in the case of SORLI versus FITZPATRICK. “Did he kiss her, or did she scream because he didn’t?” “Pioneer woman farmer,” JEANETTE LOCKE, guided her herd of cows along the highway into Alaska. When questioned by United States reporter, “SHORTY” COUSINS, she answered: “Young man, there’s milk in them there critters, and I aims to make my fortune gittin’ it!” With that, she glared down at him over her spectacles, and went her merry way. NATALIE RIECKS was now the owner of many “little, black books,” as the result of her switchboard operating experience. Her boss, GEORGE NUTTING, has become quite perturbed at her ability to listen in on male calls. “Hot Rod” SMITH was caught entering his dilapidated “midget” in the races for next week. Last year he won a broken leg and a pushed- in-“puss.” His nurse, MARY O’CONNELL, did her best to reform him, but Ed is sure he has a bright future. Prof. PAUL HENNESSEY and his assistants, RUTH WEAVER and CLARA JOYCE, were taking off to the Moon to try to persuade MAE and JUNE “To be practical and come home to their husbands.” It would seem that the females up there can’t be made quite so charmingly, for these two girls have the men simply enchanted! There were sighs from the girls. You bet they wouldn’t come home! “Silly goops,” grunted Mr. Lynch disgustedly. ‘Go home and take a shower.” KAY SULLIVAN, GEORGE HALLENBORG, and MURIEL CROUSE were managing their own private enterprise, and were com- monly known as the “Sitters.” They guaranteed never a dull evening for anyone from 6 to 60. They were just the ones who could do it, too! As the class watched, they saw the now famous Boston Road, with the great lighting system on the JOHN THURSBY Theatre. The show featured PEGGY FORBES, DOROTHY HOLDEN, and the handsome DOUGLAS CUMMINGS, in the tremendous hit “Cummings’ Attractions.” A little farther along the road was a large French restaurant. Over the door was a sign, “Le CAPOBIANCO and Sons’ Chicken Restau- rant.” Today’s menu consisted of chicken, chicken soup, and chicken a la king. Believe it or not, the chief chef was the great GORDON GURNEY. Sauntering in the door was the lovely PAT HALL, wearing an expen- sive fur coat. She was now the wife of a very rich and accomplished ar- tist, RICHARD WOLF. In the back- ground the charming JESSIE FRO- BESE was singing on the stage with the whole symphony orchestra behind her. Across the street was the ME- GOW Hardware Store, where quite a crowd had gathered to listen to Ludolf play his violin. In the adjoining edi- fice PHYLLIS CATERINO and MAR- JORIE RICHARDS were giving an impressive demonstration on how to blow green suede bubbles. At that there was a_blood- curdling noise from the “deus ex machina.” It croaked, groaned, and quaked as if it were taking a fit! Then, to the unbelieving ears of the students, the contraption cried: “I-I can’t take any more. Let me die!” “When things start falling out all over the floor, there must be truth to the adage that the Class of 1950 is really powerful,’ thought Mr. Lynch, as he choked over his fifth hot dog!

The team opened the season unofficially by playing a strong Clinton eleven in the annual Hudson Jamboree. The Indians displayed great spirit and fortitude, in tying Clinton, 0 to 0. The official opener was Methuen, and Howe dropped a hard 26 to 6 count. The boys next met St. Charles of Waltham, whom they downed by an easy 25 to 7 score. The next encounter on the rostrum found Howe journeying to Dra- cut, where they lost 15 to 0. The next game brought a favored Northbridge High to Howe, but the rejuvenated warriors upset their opponents, 13 to 7. The following week found Howe at Lexington, and again came out on top with a close 7 to 6 upset. Then Tewksbury invaded Howe, only to be stopped by a 28 to 7 win for Howe. . A strong Concord team defeated a fighting Howe delegation, 25 to 0. The following week brought an unexpected setback by Johnson High of North Andover, 15 to 6. Howe then entertained Burlington, by defeating them 20 to 6. In the annual “Thanksgiving grid battle,” Howe displayed superb teamwork to defeat a valiant Chelmsford team by a score of 26 to 6. Though such stars as “Hezzy” Hulett, “Hank” Wilson, “Billy” Cu- sick, ‘Bobby’? Corkum, ‘‘Chester’”’ Sylvester, Dale Crandall, Gordon Gur- ney, “Charlie” Condon, and Paul Sullivan, will be leaving Howe’s lineup, many replacements will be found among the remaining members of the squad, with co-coptains Wentworth and Baroldi to lead them.

Choorloaders — 1949-1950 “Water, water, water, Steam, steam, steam, Have we gotta? Yet we gotta! Team, Team, Team.” This was one of the many brilliantly and colorfully dis- played cheers of the Howe High cheerleaders. Everyone who attended the past football and basketball games will say that these girls added spirit and fight to the boys and girls on the teams with their encouraging and generous support of cheers. The squad consisted of eleven cheerleaders, the captain having been Ruth Strom. Her able and pretty assistants were Barbara Schmelzer, Jean Sullivan, Ann O’Neill, Barbara Turner, Nancy Dempsey, Joan Sargent, Margaret Baraldi, Mae Salis- bury, Mary Gibbons, and Mary Fitzgerald. As in previous years, there was a football rally in the high school auditorium the day before the Chelmsford vs. Howe Thanksgiving-day game. Here the cheerleaders displayed some of their talent to boost the spirit of the football squad on to victory in the “big”? game. The cheerleaders again held a cheerleaders’ hop, which was a successful dance enjoyed by all. The girls’ uniforms were green with white trimmings enhanced by white letter ‘‘H’s.”’ The girls were supervised by Manager Thelma Hedberg and advised by Coach Eleanor Wain. To these girls go our many thanks for their stamina, which inspired the teams of Howe High. P. Sullivan G. Gurney R. Corkum J. Baraldi H. Wilson C. Cusick A. Mazzeo J. Hulett D. Crandall D.

Burlington also placed third to tie with Howe. Tewksbury and St. Joseph tied for fourth place. This year will find Capt. Crandall, Ken McElhiney, and George Hallenborg leaving; but the team has promising signs of becoming a top-notch combination next season. Ken McElhiney was top season scorer with 104 points, and “Lon”? Thomas came second with 78. Others on the team included Capt. Dale Crandall, Harold Tomkins, “‘Richie’’ Myles, “Pudgy” Cummings, ‘Bill’? Robbins, George Santos, “Choker” Harring, “Len” Buckland, “Tony”? Mazzio, John Silliker, George Hallenborg, Paul Johanson, and “Teddy” Santos, who were te bbe by Harry Morgan and Ed Diaz and coached by ‘‘Nat”’ Federico. Howe scored 629 points as opposed by 549 scored against them by other teams this year. The results are as follows: Howe 55 Alumni 54 Howe 29 Ipswich 31 Howe 36 Dracut 48 Howe 71 St. Joseph’s 38 Howe 27 Chelmsford 59 Howe 26 Dracut 56 Howe 51 St. Joseph’s 35 Howe 51 Tewksbury 34 Howe 55 Wilmington 40 Howe 61 Wilmington 37 Howe 39 Burlington 36 Howe 29 Burlington 43 Howe 54 Tewksbury 29 Howe 45 Chelmsford 63 Girls’ Basketball Joam For the second consecutive year the Howe High girls’ basketball team captured the championship. After twenty-two straight victories, Tewksbury defeated Howe, but Howe revenged this loss by defeating Tewksbury twice; thereby gaining the championship. The members of the team are Capt. Joan Scott, Nancy Dempsey, Joyce McAndrew, Thelma Hedberg, Ann O’Neil, Anna Baraldi, ‘Rickie’ Baraldi, Corrine Scaringi, ‘Lil’ Brown, Lois Turnbull, Jeanette Lambert, ‘“Peg’”’ Rumrill, “Chris” Hutchings, Mary Luciano, Ruth Strom, Mary Fitzgerald, Betty Cameron, Joan Sargent, ‘Jackie’ Blake, Nancy Barton, Marjorie Pohl, “Sill” Mitchell, Virginia Corbett, Carol Rogers, Barbara Barnard, “Peo” McSweeney, Joan Martell, Betty O’Day, and Judy Conway. The team was managed by Jean Sullivan, Joan Graham, and San- dra O’Connell and coached by Gladys Boutillette.

While winning fourteen games, and los- ing only four, they established one of the best records in Howe’s baseball history. Led by the .700 batting of Capt.-elect Crandall, the able receiving of Capt. Bob Loranger, and the inspired hurling of George Gracie, Howe’s hard hitting team finally captured the coveted trophy. The team members were Capt.

Dooley To all who helped in any way to make our Yearbook a successful one we are most grateful Senton Play The class of nineteen hundred and fifty is extremely proud of their successful play, “Ring Around Elizabeth” by Charl Arm- strong, which was presented November fourth and fifth. This success was due to the inspired direction of Miss E. Ruth Belcher and a well chosen cast. This talented cast was comprised of Nancy Dempsey as Elizabeth Cherry, the feigned amnesia victim, around whom the demanding Cherry family make a stifling ring; Robert Corkum, as Ralph Cherry, a typical, well-meaning husband; Mary Luci- ano, the chirping grandmother; Cornelius Cusick, as Hubert Cherry, the satirical grandfather; Patricia Murray, as Vida, the comical but domineering maid; Douglas Cummings, as Andy Blaine, a complacent, cynical young adventurer; Dorothy Lunt, as Mercedes, the ever-weeping brat; Charlotte Bernard, as Jen- nifer, a pretty teenage sister; Geraldine Musgrave, as Irene, the sultry woman of the world; Joan Scott as Harriet, the local busy- body; Charles Condon, as Doctor Halister, the patient family physician; and John Capobianco, as the helpful, strong arm of the law. We all sincerely thank Miss Belcher for her coaching and supervision of this successful play. Howe dligh Orchestra Howe digh Glee (lub Glee Club The Glee Club rehearsed during the seventh period every Wednesday. On the sixth of December the club provided a musical program for the annual joint meeting of all Billerica women’s church clubs. The meeting was held at the Unitarian Church at the center. Many compliments were extended to the club for the fine selections and renditions. Onchestra When the year began, the orchestra had only twelve players who had been in the organization the previous year. Several good players had been lost because of graduation. As the year progressed and new players were found who were ca- pable of playing with the orchestra, they were allowed to join. The orchestra then continued the fine standard of performance of previous years. The orchestra played at the monthly junior high assem- blies and at many of the high school assemblies. The selections ranged from spirited marches to sparkling overtures and merry dance tunes. The following students were members of the orchestra: G. Musgrave, L. Megow, E. Smith, J. Cheney, D. Riecks, J. Mar- tinson, R. Davidson, J. Dormer, C. Riecks, W. Terris, J. Chris- tianson, R. Weaver, D. Martinson, R. Sawyer, C. Hutchings, R. James, J. Bova, D. Parker, V. Kelm, G. Groves, K.

Dorothy Lunt “Duty, Deference, and Decorum,” the motto of the Tri- Delta, has been the constant guide-word to their successful term. Under the competent guidance of their adviser, Miss Mary I. Wood, the girls held many social affairs which added much to the senior year. Among these affairs were the Hillbilly Wing- ding, Christmas Party, and the Ice Follies. All the girls will fondly remember the “social’”’ meetings Which were held on Wednesday afternoons.
