Then the class decided to hold a dance, ‘“The Freshman Frolic’, in order to raise funds for our senior year. It was held in the high school auditorium in March. A footnote was entered on this second page which read “A good time was had by all.’ A record of the fun and work which were part of our freshman year is still kept in our first volume. We progressed very rapidly to our sophomore year. When we met again the next September, we were ready and willing to start on Volume 2. Our foremost entry again was the recording of the newly elected officers and adviser. Harold Tomkins, George McGurn, Ruth Clark, and Thomas Leary were the chosen leaders. This year we were advised and guided by Miss Mary Fitzgerald. The main social entry for this year was the ‘‘Halloween Dance.” Yes, the class of 51 was really growing up and looking forward expectantly to their next year. In Volume 3, one word, upperclassmen, seemed to be outstanding. No longer were we considered the babies of Howe’s Society. The events of our junior year were led by Robert Pacheco, George McGurn, Betty Cameron, and Lillian Stuart. Under the supervision of Miss Fitzgerald, the highlight of our high school years took place. The entry of our Junior Prom was made in capital letters on page three of Volume 3. Elaine Fredrickson was chosen Prom Queen, with her attendants Joan Pasquale, Margaret Rumrill, Ann O'Neill, Lorraine Caissie, Thelma Hedberg, Lauretta Lebonville, Corinne Scaringi, Betty Cameron, Lillian Stuart, and Lorraine Angell. It was indeed an “‘En- chanted Evening.” The exciting events of the year can be summed up in a few words-- class rings, sports, cheerleading, and dances. Volume 3 was closed and sealed, but never to be forgotten. It was with great expectations of the coming year that we made our first entry in the last volume. Our junior class officers did such an inspiring job the year before that they were chosen unanimously to lead us to gradua- tion. Yes, this year we are seniors. [he events of this year are the most important and the most memorable of our school career. The senior play, entitled ‘““The Transferred Ghost,’’ under the direction of Miss E. Ruth Belcher, was a complete success. The stars of the performance were Robert Pacheco, Mary Fitzgerald, Sushila Mitra, Gwendolyn Groves, Grant Whiteway, Betty Ann MacPherson, Thomas Leary, David Riecks, Margaret Sweeney, and Paul Johansen. The Tri-Delta, the senior girls’ club, offered much to make the year an even more exciting one. Their numerous activities included a record hop, Thanksgiving baskets, a Christmas party, and the never to be forgotten trip to see the Ice Follies. The Senior Boys’ Club was a most welcome addition to the social activities of the class. On Thursdays at noon time the girls and boys enjoyed lunch and dancing in the gym. ‘The club’s activities included baseball trips, dances, and the enjoyable Boys’ Show. The Senior Prom was also entered as a complete success. It was held on February 16 in the uniquely decorated school auditorium—a winter won- derland for the evening. The Snow King, Mattie Hillis, and the Snow Queen, Betty Cameron, were crowned with fitting ceremony by President Bob Pacheco and the following coterie of attendants—Joan Sargent, Joan Graham, Mary Fitzgerald, Joan Pasquale, Lorraine Angell, Ann O'Neill, Thelma Hedberg. As we turn to the last page, we hesitate to make our last and final entry. It is the day of graduation, the day on which we leave our high school years behind us. Many of us will go on to higher education, and many of us will go immediately out into the world to make use of the golden knowledge Howe has endeavored to give us. The night of graduation there will be tears in many of our eyes, tears of happiness and regret: hapniness, because it 1s the moment we have dreamed of for four years: regret, because we are leaving Howe High forever.

The foregoing document, (having been read and approved by all con- cerned), is declared, in the presence of all, to be the one and only (the legal) last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1951 and by request of the said class these people do hereunto subscribe their names as witnesses thereto. CLASS OF 1951— GEORGE McGURN ROBERT MILLER FREDERIC DICKIE JOHN CHRISTIANSON THOMAS LEARY PAUL SURETTE. The Census of 61 It is now the year 1961; and by bribing the censustaker--Mr. Arthur Merrifield--with a two weeks’ vacation to Maine, we--'‘Pudgy’” Cummings and Ted Wilcox, former class members,--have persuaded him to let us go along with him as he takes the Fed- eral Census for the wc rre 1 t year. To start our journey, we visit Peggy Rumrill’s Rox- bury apartment at 9 Galena St., where we find her reprimand- ing her unhandy handy - man, Arthur Curry. In the three- room apartment upstairs, the Mesdames Joan (Sargent) Dic- kie and Joan (Graham) O'Rourke reside with their seven children. After the confused intro- ductions are over, we make a hasty departure only to collide with Edward Le- Clair, the dynamic postman of the Dudley Street section. Our business being over in Roxbury, we board a bus, which, we dis- cover, much to our consternation, is being madly propelled by Ronald Parker!!! As we elbow our way through North Station, we meet Mrs, Ann (O’Neill) Baraldi and her famous husband, John, who are just returning from their second honeymoon in Hawaii. As we are about to board the train for Billerica. our attention is distracted by the musical tune of a peanut vendor, who, on closer investigation, turns out to be our own Norman Reekie. On the train, sitting in front of us, are none other than Jeanette and Thomas Leary struggling with their twins, who have just given a hot foot to the sedate scientist, Paul Johansen, who, until a moment ago, had been studying his notes in preparation for his scientific speech to be given that evening. As we pull into the East Billerica station, we notice Sushila and Randy Barbour engaged in a heated conversation with their talking dog, who seems to be putting up a good fight. Alighting from the train, we hail the nearest taxi; and we are care- fully driven to our destination by Bob Miller, who has finally retrieved his license from his old pal “‘Rudy”’. On our way, we pass the modern ranch house of Lorraine and Arthur Fillmore. Next, we see the familiar framework of the Pollard School; and if we had the time to enter, we might see Miss Judy Collins, the present pri ncipal, conducting classes. We now finally reach the center, where the traffic is being very effi- ciently directed by Sergeant Dick Belcher, who, as usual, is in complete control of the situation. We see him escort Mrs. Betty Ann MacPherson Up Snoot and her fifteen cats across the street, as they dash over to their favorite haunt, Clark’s hotdog stand, situated on the common. On the site of our old Town Hall is John Christianson’s home for played-out football players. Convalescing here are Donald Austin, Joe Don- ahue, George McGurn, and Harold Tomkins. It’s about time we thought of lunch, so we choose Ye Olde Monarch Diner, where Doris Bevis is acting as chief cook and bottle washer. As we sit down, we are immediately surrounded by three eager waitresses—Mary Daley, Lorraine Caissie, and Betty Mahoney. We ask if we may see their modern kitchen and are quickly admitted by the chef and connoisseur, David Riecks. While we are there, we notice the assistant dishwasher, William Matthews, who is muttering something about breaking the dishes before they're washed, not afterwards. After lunching, our efficient censustaker suggests that we return to work. Our first call is at Betty Hatzberger’s Cake Shoppe, where we meet her industrious sales promoter, Margaret Sweeney. As we leave the shop, we bump into Barbara Murray, just returning from her twenty mile hike in testing Hood’s rubber boots. Our next visit is to the Shack General Hospital. As we enter the building, we notice a plaque with the following personnel. Chief Surgeon Robert Howe Chief Laboratory Technictan Irwin Nichols Night Supervisor Patricia Brown Pediatrician Dorothy De Melin Supervisor of Men--tal Clinic Mary Fitzgerald Director of Physiotherapy John Silliker X-Ray Technician Jane Wansewicz Limb Surgeon Thomas Woods Dietician Patricia Gasser Children’s Supervisor Margaret Lacey We asked the receptionist, Miss Theresa Wilson, to direct us to the Maternity Ward. There we are met by Nurse Barbara Turner, carrying the hospital’s first set of triplets. “The proud mother and father are Louise (Camer- on) and Edward Owens. On leaving the hospital, we watch with anxiety while the ambulance pulls up and two shaky stretcher bearers, Paul Surette and George Scott, swiftly carry the limp form of Margaret Landry, who has just burst from excitement, into the hospital. As we go along, we decide to stop at Baroni’s Kennels, where Anita Lambert is busily defleaing Barbara Piirainen’s boxer. Our next stop is at the home of Mr. Robert Keefe, the retired admiral, where Elaine Fredrickson is busily engaged in painting his portrait for the Navy Department. Billerica’s wealthy widow, Ruth Johnson, will be his tea guest later. We now stop for ice cream at Jolly Joan Jollimore’s Ice Cream Stand. Sitting at the counter is Beverly (Morris) Senna, who is anxiously awaiting her husband’s next leave. On our way out, we meet Laura Ablett, the effi- cient secretary for Richard Sawyer, whose band was recently rated tops by the Lorna Button Poll. John Cheney, we hear, is the famous trombone play- er for the same band. The next home we visit is that of Miss Anna Baraldi, now Sports Ed- itor of Billerica’s one and only ‘The Daily Blow.” After finishing our censustaking in Pinehurst, we head north on Bos- ton Road toward North Billerica. Our first stop is at the Bell Shops, managed by Joyce McAndrew. Washing the windows of the shop is Donald Barden, the capable window washer. Glancing at the display window, we see Dot Benson behind the counter as one of the efficient clerks. Here, too, are Roberta Pelletier, a cashier; Betty Mason, window display decorator; and Claire Coffey, idly modeling lounging pajamas. We notice two young ladies walking in to buy their wedding trousseau. They are Elizabeth Delarue and Mary Doherty. The next home we visit is that of Mrs. Catherine (Dwyer) Buckland, who has just returned from a cruise on the Concord River in her husband’s yacht, Catherine tells us about Gail Flint, now a missionary in South Africa. Jean (Frobese) Doe, who lives across the street from Catherine, is the newly appointed manager of the Dirty Sox. Her two children are being tu- tored by the smart young teacher, Miss Gwendolyn Groves. The next place of interest is the Howe Alumnae Beauty Salon, owned by Joan Saunders. Within the shop, Florence Shedd is industriously working to curl the hair of Joan Pasquale, the yodeling cowgirl from West Billerica. Ruth Twombly is applying a mud pack to the sophisticated countenance of Lillian Stuart, who is all the while trying to knit argyle stockings for Jack. Waiting for her appointment is Corinne Scaringi, conversing with Ambassador to England, Grant Whiteway, awaiting his turn for a manicure. The next stop is at the Governor's Mansion on Pollard Street. There we find His Excellency Robert Pacheco, present Governor of Massachusetts. Taking dictation is Thelma Hedberg, his confidential secretary. The next home we visit is that of the former Joan MacLellan, who is preparing an Italian spaghetti supper for the Secretaries’ Club. Those plan- ning to brave the feast are Emory Lebonville, Lauretta Lebonville, Loretta Lloyd, Betty O’Hara, Margaret O’Connell, and Florianna Potsus. Next door is the modernistic establishment—Mac’s Body and Fender Repair—where Betty (Cameron) Van Hillis is patiently waiting to have two bent fenders on her 1961 Cadillac straightened out by Proprietor Art MacIn- tosh. A few feet away in the same garage is Richard Loranger, still working on his famous ‘‘hot rod.’’ Outside, James Stirling industriously paints a u- nique “‘M”’ in the MacIntosh display sign; while Lola Thursby, chief account- ant, supervises the spelling of ‘‘Mac’’, not ““Mc’’. The census being finished and the alumni of Howe High having been thoroughly accounted for, we say goodbye to our jovial censustaker, who now retires in grateful anticipation of his long awaited vacation in Maine.

WER: RI ikeeee Ss Football After a slow start and many heart-breaking games, the Howe Indians came to life to display a fine brand of football. Midway through the season found the Indians with only one win in six starts. Howe found the spark that was missing and drove victoriously through four straight games, knocking off two highly favored teams, Foxboro and Maynard. ‘They experienced little trouble with Somerville Trade and Burlington. During this winning spree Howe scored 139 points to their opponents’ 26 points. Highly favored to beat the Chelmsford team by two touchdowns, the Howe Indians traveled to the Memorial Field in Chelmsford for the traditional Thanksgiving Day game. The Howe Indians realized two touchdowns in the last quarter to settle for a tie with a surprised Chelmsford home-team. The scores resulted as follows: Howe i .

Boutillette, began practice in October, with many freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior candidates. “Iwo years the winners of the Suburban League Cham- pionship, the girls fought to keep the cup for a third year. Despite the gallant efforts on the part of all squad members, the Howe girls were unsuccessful in their effort to retain the Suburban League Championship Trophy. The members of the team were as follows: first team: Co-capts. A. Bar- aldi and J. McAndrew; A. O’Neil, T. Hedberg, P. Rumrill, J. Lambert, C. Scaringi, and J. Blake; first team subs: M. Baraldi, C.

Anna Baraldi, with 116 points; Ann O'Neill, with 64 points; and Thelma Hedberg, with 54 points. The scores of the games are as follows: Alumnae 2D 7S: tee Owe 28 Burlington 27 . . .

A marked inexperience was shown by the candidates in the first few weeks of practice, but as the season progressed, this handicap was overcome. The team fared well in league competition. The squad finished in a tie for second place with Burlington. Both teams finished the season with a six and four record. Howe had an overall record of eleven wins and seven de- feats. They also competed in two tournaments. The members of the team are as follows: H. Tomkins, Capt.; R. Loranger, R. Myles, J. Silliker, J. Harring, J. Fay, K. Kelly, F. Bocko, D. Sorli, C. Geas, G. Welch, and E. Hogenson. Those who have played their last games for Howe are Captain H. Tom- kins, J. Silliker, R. Loranger, and J. Harring. The scores were as follows: Howe 67. . .

They spurred our boys on to Victory with their peppy cheers and clever acrobatics. The girls are Mary Fitzgerald, Barbara Turner, Margurite Baraldi, Ann O'Neill, Virginia Corbett, Joan Sargent, Lois Warren, Anna Baraldi, Sylvia Mitchell, Jacqueline Blake, and head cheerleader, Thelma Hedberg. The girls were coached by Miss Eleanor Wain and managed by Corinne Scaring. The cheerleaders were dressed in the traditional colors of green and white. The bodices of the uniforms were white with the green ‘‘H’’, and the skirts were green. ‘Ihe head cheerleader’s outfit was just the opposite. The girls held a very successful ‘‘Cheerleaders’ Hop’ in October. They also had a football rally the day before the Chelmsford versus Howe Thanks- giving classic. These pretty and popular girls will be remembered for the alacrity and originality that were part of every cheer. Baseball The Howe High baseball team, under the leadership of Co-Captains Dale Crandall and Paul Sullivan, won eleven games and lost only three. In spite of this good record, the Howe boys had to settle for a co-cham- pionship with Chelmsford High. If Howe, Johnson, or Chelmsford wins the title this year, the cup be- comes the permanent property of the winner. All three teams have two cham- pionships to their credit on this cup so far. The batting of Dale Crandall and ‘‘Billy’’ Mahoney and the pitching of ““Willie’’ Matthews accounted for many wins. Although the team has lost such stars as Crandall, Sullivan, and Hulett, this year’s team should be one of the strongest Howe has had for some time with Co-captains elect George McGurn and William Matthews leading them. ‘The scores were as follows: Howe 14. . .

Boys Club A flourishing organization at Howe this year is the newly formed Senior Boys’ Club. Under the able direction of Mr. Burke, they meet each Thursday noon in Room 24 for lunch and their business meeting. They elected as officers for the year, Grant (“‘Boogar’’) Whiteway as president, John (‘‘Cricket’’) Christianson as vice-president, and Richard Loranger as secretary- treasurer. Enjoyed by all were the dances held at noon time in the gym on Thursdays. With the senior girls as their guests, they enjoyed ‘‘smooth’’ music provided by Richard Sawyer, John Cheney, and David Riecks. Among the many activities planned by these enterprising senior boys are dances, baseball trips, parties, and a boys’ show. Tri-Delta The Tri-Delta Girls’ Club was organized this year by Miss Gladys Boutillette. The officers elected by the girls are as follows: president: Margaret Sweeney; vice-president: Dorothy Benson; secretary: Catherine Dwyer; treas- urer: Beverly Morris: program chairman: Judy Collins; assistants: Joan Sar- gent, Joyce McAndrew, Betty Cameron, Lorraine Caissie, Betty Mason, and Elaine Fredrickson. Under the direction of Miss Boutillette, the girls have had a very busy schedule with one activity planned for each month. In September, the club had a splash party: in October, a record hop was held; in November, two bas- kets were made for needy families; an appropriate Christmas party was held in December; in January, the girls made plans for the annual trip to the Ice Follies in the early part of February; March was the month elected for their Hillbilly Wing-ding. The club is called to order each Wednesday noon in one of the class rooms. ‘The girls mix business with pleasure, and eat their lunch during the meetings. On the whole, the girls have had a lot of fun working together to pre- pare for activities as well as having fun participating in the actual “‘doings’’. All the Tri-Delta girls wish the best of success for the next year’s club. Senior Play The Transferred Ghost, a three act comedy, by Walter Hackett, was ably presented and well received by the senior class. It was expertly directed by Miss E. Ruth Belcher. The cast was as follows: John Hinckman, the rather eccentric, old uncle whose ghost appears later in the play as portrayed by Robert Pacheco; Madelain Pegram Cushing, the charming young heiress portrayed by Mary Fitzgerald; Ted Cushing, the handsome, debonair husband of Madelain, Paul Johansen; Jane Pegram, Madelain’s younger sister, Sushila Mitra: Bill Crenshaw, an engineer of moderate means who is in love with Jane, Grant Whiteway; Buck Edwards, the irresistible, conceited ghost, Thomas Leary: Nanny Daws, the domineering, old housekeeper, Betty Ann MacPherson; Elsie, the flighty, scatter- brained maid, Gwendolyn Groves: Primrose, Buck Edward's lovely replacement, Margaret Sweeney; Jackson, the unforgettable, straightfaced butler, David Riecks. We, the class of 1951, wish to express our most sincere thanks to Miss Belcher, through whose untiring efforts the success of THE TRANSFERRED GHOST was secured.
