Thereafter, we four, in their presence, and in the presence of each other, hereto affix our names. ROBERT BURKE, Chairman RICHARD DEMPSEY ROBERT DAVIS CLINT INGRAHAM l eCl,l'Yl of fke gllflllne The annual classic, the Thanksgiving Day football game at the Memorial Field, is well under way. After a scoreless first half for both Howe and Chelmsford, Howe has finally broken the ice and scored - three times, As a result of this nineteen to nothing lead Howe has over its opponent, Coach Chuck Lampson elects to remove one of his first string line-men and sends in Clint Ingraham. Clint springs from the bench, and in his rush to the field of play he trips over the water-bucket and strikes his head on the frozen ground. While in a state of unconsciousness, he dreams of what is waiting for him and his fellow classmates of 52 in the not so distant future. As we tour the inevitable future, via Clint's dream, we realize it has been ten years since we left dear Howe High School. The first thing that attracts our dreamer's attention is the new Howe High. Doorman Tucker Mahoney, resplendent in his green and silver braid, opens the wide glass door to the vestibule beyond which is the spacious outer office, where Mary Barretto, the principal's secretary, is busily typing. In the inner office Principal Iames Fournier and Vice-Principal Robert Davis are seated before the vast television screen, which is channeled to Room 205, where Miss Ann DeBenedictis and her French III class are practicing French Christmas carols. Clint learns that some of the graduates of H525 are faculty members here: Richar Barrington, biology teacher, Margur- 645' , ite Baraldi and Richard Myles, physi- Ai e cal education instructors, Helen Keri- 7 0 van, shorthand teacher, lane Ensor, W'--1 reading specialist, Charlotte Oskow- .,-1.--4' .lair

ski, doctor of ancient languages, Gloria Crowley, head of the calculus de- partment, Ioanne Gibbons, Mrs. Dooley's apprentice in IV D. Upon leaving the school, Clint greets Harold Towle, janitor, waxing the highly polished marble stairs. janitor Towle directs our hero to the Robert l. Livingston Hospital, world famous for its physical therapy department, under the expert supervision of Dr. Ioan Donovan. Entering, he is greeted by Annette Lambert, the receptionist, who, in turn, shows him-Nancy Todd, who, at the switchboard, is trying desperately to locate Dr. Robert Livingston and his assistant, Dr. Thomas A. Condon, whose skill is needed in surgery. Betty Lou Brown, the energetic little fifty-twoer. is seen dashing to the nurses' quarters to post the night schedule: lacquelyn Allan, men's ward, Ann Devine, childrens ward, Barbara Armstrong, maternity ward, Ioan Martell, desk duty, Dorothy Schaier and Shirley Hoban, Psycho ward. From Annette, our capable receptionist, Clint learns a few pertinent facts about the more important patients here in the hospital. Mary Iormes, prima donna of the New York Metropolitan Opera, is here awaiting a laryngotomy. Muriel Ward is a patient in the maternity ward. She has Barbara Francis Nickerson and Sylvia Mitchell Smythe keeping her company. Leaving by the rear exit, Clint comes upon Bruce McQuaid, the dirty diaper collector, Kenneth Greathead, the caretaker, and Richard George, driver, with his bride, Barbara Barnard, the ambulance interne, accompanying him on all his calls. The ambulance chaser - a grim looking man - dashes out, exclaiming, Oh, joy, another customer! lt is, of course, the hospital morgue's custodian, jack Perry. Unfortunately, for lack, however, this patient, Thomas fTeethJ Tscherch, is not yet dead. He is just a little mangled from an automobile accident involving William Hot Rod Cooper and novelist Marjorie Pohl. Clint, inquisitive as to the cause of the accident, rushes to the scene of the catastrophe and finds on duty there several police officers, members of his graduating class. The squad consists of Chief Robert Burke, Patrolmen Ken Kelly, Vincent De Morris, and Arthur Pickering. Chief Burke suggests that Clint accompany them back to the station, where Sergeants Dorothy Keefe and Doris Hugo, of the Women's Division, were on duty. As they enter, Detectives john Harring and Paul Waitkus are leaving to follow up a tip on a narcotics ring. Learning that the Fire Department is next door, Clint excuses himself and continues his tour. At the Firehouse were Captain Nickerson, William Hamilton, and Raymond Gauthier. They had just returned from a fire at the Billerica Smoke Signal, Billerica's version of the New York Times. The staff of the Smoke Signal consists primarily of Howe graduates: Donald Wentworth, sports editor, Rosemarie Padula, financial editor, Vir- ginia Corbett, society editor, Barbara Nicholson, photographer, and Carolyn Melendy and Patricia Gasser, the efficient linotypists. The fire, which for- tunately was a minor one, was caused by the hot pictures taken by Bar- by Nicholson of the colossal robbery of the l953 Class Funds. Clint. after meeting the entire staff, goes to the airport with the society editor, Virginia Corbett, who is to meet the incoming flight on which Mrs. Charles Condon, the former Sandra O'Connell, was a passenger. At the air- port Clint sees the chief dispatcher, james Calder, talking over the next flight with one of his pilots, Sue Hunt, the first woman airline pilot in history. ln the outer office are Louise Hennessey and Carol 14 3. Fitzpatrick, airline hostesses, - T going over the list of pas- , sengers on the flight to the A G naval station at the Great X Lakes. Some of the more I familiar ones are Lieutenant Q E fx Lester Cameron, William X if ,Ht j Scott, chief of the frogmen - jf, . division, Sonny DeMaggio, Mc ' X1 Claude Roberts, and a non , 1-' f- t graduate member of the 6 .. 0 ' class, Tony Mazzeo.
