MARY DOOLEY Our Dedication We, the graduating class of 1954, dedicate this book to Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Dooley. It ts dedicated to Mrs. Adams because of her never tiring efforts to make our four years at Howe successful. She gave us hope when we were dis- couraged, taught us right from wrong, and gave us spirit to continue our work when we lacked it. But, most of all, she was a friend to everyone. It is dedicated also to Mrs. Dooley, because she taught us more than can be found tn books. She taught us honor, honesty, and the importance of having our word trusted. We say good-bye to them as teachers, and hope that the friendships we have made with them will never cease. MR. GEORGE S. GOODELL MISS B. DOLE To the Seniors: The occasion of graduation from high school is one of both joy, and sadness. Joy, because of the happy memories centering around the years of pleasant association you have had with one another, in work and in play. Sadness, because you have now reached that milestone which marks the dividing line between the past and future; the place where old, familiar customs and habits must be broken off, and pleasant as- sociations ended. But, no matter where your future path of life may lead, remember that a good character, and nobility of conduct are your greatest assets in the battle of life. As Shakespeare wrote, ‘To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” GEORGE S. GOODELL Superintendent of Schools me J To the Seniors: I wish to congratulate you as you close the first chapter in the book which is your life. What you have done in this chapter, how poorly or how well you have done it, cannot now be changed. The future, however, is in your hands. The pages you write now are up to you. With the determination to succeed, with the desire to achieve, with the will to work diligently, with the ability to understand and to judge fairly, the chapters in your life should be ones of hope, happiness and success. , To all Seniors goes my fervent wish that you meet life well equipped to do your part in ae this world a better place in which to ive.

Mr. Fleming was head pilot of the Trans-Planet Airlines, and Mrs. Fleming has had her second novel published. Then there was a bright flash. ‘“‘Batten down the hatches,’ shouted Cap- tain Tholander. ‘““There’s a storm ahead.’ But then, it was only ‘“Jim’’ Currier with his trusty candid camera. ‘‘Jim’’ was taking pictures of the ship’s beautiful hostess, ‘‘Judy’’ Francts and her efficient staff, ‘““Peg’’ Quinlan, Jean Cuff, and Rowena Stivers. Howard ‘Scoop’ Iverson, now the editor-in-chief of the Universal Times, was seen rushing toward the Western Union office in order to telegraph to his paper the astonishing news that “Judy’’ Tucker had just re- ceived word from her agent, ‘Pat’ Finch, of ‘“‘Judy’s’’ contract with the Metropolitan Opera to sing in the fall on the same bill with Arolyn Mosher, a famous singer who already made her debut. ‘‘Scoop’’ may also include the latest report that Ralph Luciano, the professional football star, had been seen strolling the deck with ““Pam’” Benjamin, 1973 Powervogutan Girl, who got her start in high school. Barbara Martell was seen peeking into stateroom 308, ad- miring the 36-inch shoulders of ““Bob” Perry, heavyweight champion of the world. Reverend Robert Hentz, a foreign missionary, was seen in the lobby trying to convert Caro! Elden, Duchess of Polorodo, to Hentzism, while Dorts Bunker tried to capture her facial expressions for a portrait, which will be given to the Duke of Polorodo, Richard Hayden, for his birthday. Purser “‘Ed”’ Brennan was collecting money and valuables from the honor- ary members of the Snob-Hill Gang, Anne Kilmartin, instructor of Girls’ Ath- letics at Truro Normal School, N. S.; ‘‘Peg’’ O’Brien, well-known ballet dancer of the Metropolitan Opera Company; Shirley McGurn, a physiotherapist (chief back-rubber) ; and Elatne O’ Hara, a famous dermatologist. Then as we left the lobby and entered the dining room, we found at the head table the officers of the ship. First Mate “‘Billy’’ Megow, who was next in line to become captain, was conversing with Second Mates ““Tommy’’ Devine and Earl Lucia. The Third Mate Emile Steele seemed quite perturbed and was conferring with the pilot, ““Bobby’’ Hartshorn. At the next table Sally Wyatt, Anna Hovey, Barbara Finney, and Eveline Corkum. all in their pert Wave uniforms, were giving their orders to Waiter “Jimmy” Wilson. Still at another table sat Shirley Terrill, television comedi- enne, matching wits with Francis Hamilton, movie comedian. Standing at the doorway, Head Waiter ‘‘Fred’’ March gave a few pointers to Waiter Richard Wakefeld. Our cook, Joan Smith, could be heard shouting at her assistants, Gloria Syl- vester and Janet Bean. (Too much pepper or maybe not enough salt?) After dinner, many were drawn to recreation in the game room. “Buddy”’ Connell and ““Bob’’ Cullen practiced target shooting, for they're on their way to Africa to get an orangutan, which will be stuffed for the Stimpson-Masters Mu- seum of Bumptious Blue Butterflies. Paul St. Crotx stood watching Mary-Lou Pollard and Ann Silva as they played shuffle-board. Paul is the owner of a tobacco company which he bought in order to get free cigarettes. Over in a corner Carole Powers, Billerica’s only veterinarian, Roger Foster, the most popular Broadway star, and “‘Dick’’ Stearns, master detective who writes mysteries. reminisced the success of their Senior Play. Sitting at a table playing pinochle are the two members of the Tratnor- Conway Clothing Company, Inc., who are after some new French styles for their store. With them are Donet Allard and Fred Hough on their way to England for an M.G. or an Allard. Sitting around the swimming pool Karla Hutchings, professional basket- ball star: Beverly Spaulding, private nurse; ““Barb’’ McAnern, who has just pub- lished a book of poems; “‘Bev’’ Martin, famous gossip columnist, former members of the Omicron Upsilon Tau, discussed Joan Glaser’s latest article on the Society for the Salvation, and Safety of Salubrious Salamanders, which appeared in the J. J. Dempseys’ World Tribune. There had been much going on aboard ship, and much time had passed. Now we were approaching the shores of England. As we pulled to shore, the spires of the Westminster Abbey came into view, and through the fog could be heard the three o'clock gong of Big Ben. As the passengers disembarked for their tour through England, ‘‘Huck’”’ Collins was spotted leaning over the railing. Thinking that he was seasick, Dr. J. E. McCarthy rushed to his side only to find that it was not the sea, but a cigar which had upset him. On the dock, two ““bobbies,’’ Kenneth Sargent and “‘Ronnte’’ James were directing traffic. Some of us headed for Buckingham Palace and arrived at the changing of the guards. “Joe” Curry and “‘Billy’’ Baroni were recognized as the outgoing guards. Paul Flavin and Frank Lussier replaced them. We were surprised to see so many of our former classmates taking up employment in England. Our efficient touring guides, ““Bobby’’ Carson, Jon Crandall, and ‘‘Fred’’ Musgrave, were sure to point out every detail. Among those who went to Strat- ford-on-Avon were Rosemary Power, comptometer operator; Colleen Redden, hygienist; Edith and Glenna Greathead, owners of an exclusive hat shoppe on Merrimack Street. Here they admired Shakespeare’s historic homestead. Our at- tention was drawn to Shakespeare’s tomb, where Donald Bruce was stomping in revenge for his four years of hard labor spent over the genius’ work. At Westminster Abbey, Ann Sawyer, seated on the Coronation Chair, got quite a laugh from her husband ‘‘Tommy.”’ Admiring the regal portrait of Queen Elizabeth was Helene Taylor, governess to the Tomkins’ twins. The two ‘Teddies,’ Moores and Santos, architectural geniuses, were talking over their latest business deal with Ernest Woodworth, owner of the De and Dee Thompson Construction Company Incorporated. Leaving Westminster Abbey we climbed aboard a bus driven by ‘‘Mtke’’ Fitzgibbon. Four former Rinkydinks, ‘‘Lennie’’ Harmon, “‘Billy’’ Savage, “Leo” Lydon, and “Bernte’’ Doherty, were on the bus. Their destination was the home of the Baron, “‘Jive’’ Stlua, where they were to discuss a style for their new hats to match their jackets. After a tour throughsthe smaller and less important parts of England, we left for France. When we landed on the shore of France, we waited to greet Joan Whelan, who had just unsuccessfully swum the English Channel. She was awaited by many. ‘Bonnie’? MacLennan and her models, Mary Scharn, Marilyn Hamilton, Shirley Goodyear, and Donna Trecartin, were eager to see how “Bon- nie’s’’ newly designed bathing suit of nystceoloh had withstood the briny waters. Billerica’s mayor, “‘Polly’’ Revane, first woman mayor in the town’s history; her campaign manager, “Jackie’’ Fox; and Gloria Barretto, Joan’s press agent; all waited to give Joan the keys to the city. Also on shore were her coach, “Dottie’ Hunt, and her trainer, ““Frannie’’ Caten. After the excitement died down, we took a train to Paris. Then we visited Le Café Pas De’[huroncanu. Warren Hookway’s band had become quite popular at this night club. Warren played the accordian, and “‘Chuck’’ Fatrbrother gave rhythm with his drums. This act was accompanied by pianist Eileen Perrault, and “‘Lennie’’ Melanson playing the trumpet. Eleanor Foster was the soloist with the band, and Barbara Miller, ‘‘Pat’’ Welsh, and Carol Weisel composed the very popular Mil-We-Wel Trio. We were pleased to find that Barbara Rub- bone was the dancing star at this famous place. It seemed she made her debut at our Junior Prom in 1953. The following day we very excitedly drove to the outskirts of Paris to the opening of the World’s Fair. As we looked for the entrance gates, we were as- tonished to see India’s contribution to the Fair, Maharaja David Flynn of Maga- dor, followed by his dancing girls, Bernice Hoard and Lorraine Hayes. He di- rected us to the gate; and as we entered we found a fragrant aroma which led us toward a gigantic, marble fountain emanating a spiral spray of misty lavender, over which was an atomatic, illuminated sign bearing the words, ““Madame Dorette Beaushensniere announces the first showing of her new exotic Purple Passion, guaranteed to electrify even the most obstinate male.’’ Upon inquiry, we discover to our eminent satisfaction that Clatre Stoker, head chemist of Beaushensniere Industries, caused the empire of the House of Chanel to sway be- cause of the instantaneous success of Purple Passion. To our pleased satisfaction sample capsules of this fabulous fragrance were being distributed by Mamselles Elizabeth Delarue and Marilyn LeClatr. We were brought back to earth by the noise and turmoil from the racing arena next door. Eager not to miss this epoch in racing history, we hurried to our reserved seats. This is the first race involving hydrogen-propelled cars! The line-up was announced, and among the famous names we recognized Irene Wan- sewicz, Polish champion driver; Ann Axtman, representing Germany; “Fred” “Boots” Lawson, winner of the Grand Prix of Europe; and “Jimmy” Farmer, America’s sole entrant. The lap by lap description was to be given by Joan Rumreill, official sportscaster for the Fair. The race would officially start when Ruth Hodge, expert timekeeper for Hamilton Watches, gives the starter, Ruth Santoro, the sign to begin the race. All lap recordings will be tabulated by the Eye Ball, under the watchful eye of Louise Tribuna. Suddenly the tumult of the crowd was hushed as the Queen of the World's Fair, Dorts MacIntosh, made her celestial entrance toward the majestic corona- tion chair. It would be her pleasant duty to award the prizes to the winning driver—the prize being a mere solid gold Jaguarmobile equipped with the latest in ermine seatcovers. No sooner was Queen Doris seated with her court than the excited voice of Announcer Rumrill brought the direful news that Russia, in experimenting with the trihydrogen bomb had inadvertently removed herself from the face of the earth. In the resulting terror, confusion, and uproar, all gov- ernments had been ordered to request all visitors to leave immediately for their homelands. Hence, it was that everyone made the H. H. S. Preposterous his im- mediate destination. Five hours later, as our titanic steamer headed out to sea, all passengers were gathered in the ship’s salon; everyone’s head bowed as Reverend Robert Hentz led us in a prayer of thanksgiving for our safe return to our ship, our haven of safety, impregnable to any outside attack because of Lyna’s foresight in applying two coats of his Super Latictferous Liquispray. We were secure in the knowledge that in five more hours we should be approaching Bedloe Island, and there, the Statue of Liberty, resplendent with her blazing racket; illuminating New York's skyline, would greet us with her famous words, known the world over, ““Wel- come Home, Traveler!”’ Friendliest Class clowns Sophisticated succeed Howe's Hall Most polite Most argumentative (4 Noisiest Quietest LAER T Done most for H.

In arena number 1951, we see the main performers, George Welsh, Robert Hentz, Judith Francis, and William Baroni leading their class in many exciting activities, featuring the Freshmen’s first dance, ‘“Tulip Festival.”’ As the show continues, we find that William Megow, Robert Hentz, Eileen Perrault, and Thomas Forsley are directing the frolicings of the class in the 1952 arena. Their feats include a dance, called the ‘‘Harvest Moon,” and an excursion to the well-known amusement spot, Whalom Park. As we travel on to the 1953 arena, the performers seem to be acquiring more talent; and as a result, more activities are taking place. The main performers in this arena are William Megow, Eileen Perrault, Anne Kilmartin, and Carol Elden. This arena features an ice-skating party at Potter’s Pond in North Bil- lerica, a ‘‘splash’’ party at the Y. M. C. A., a very successful prom, and the glit- tering display of the class rings. Many exciting events engage our attention here in this arena, but we must continue on to the next. Last, but not least, we come to the 1954 arena. This is the most exciting one of all. The perfor mers are being led by Otis Tholander, Edward Brennan, Carolyn Moores, and Anne Kilmartin. Plans are made for one of the biggest events of the year—the Yearbook. Each performer does his best to bring about the successful issue of the 1954 Yearbook. We find that rehearsals for our Senior Class Play, We Shook the Family Tree, are progressing rapidly. The cast, which includes Alice Merten, Carolyn Moores, Richard Stearns, Warren Hookway, Arolyn Mosher, Robert Collins, Robert Hentz, Pamela Benjamin, Carole Powers, Shirley Terrill, and ‘““Judy’’ Revane, does an excellent job, and the play is a great success. Among other events are the issues of The Little Echo, Tri-Delta, Senior pictures, and sports. And indeed, we cannot forget the Senior Prom, which is one of the high spots of gaiety in 1954. As the show under the ‘‘Big Top’’ draws to a close, we see the faces of the 1954 Graduating Class turned toward the future. We know that, whatever the future holds for them or wherever they may go, their lives have been enriched by their years at Howe. We know that the 1954 graduates will all strive to reach the goals which they have set for themselves.

The victories that were achieved were credited to such fine playing as performed by Captains Ralph Luciano, Otis Tholander and ‘‘Bob” Perry. Also, ‘“Ted’’ Santos, “‘Bill’’ Savage, Emile Steel and Leo Lydon were outstanding in the backfield. ‘he forward wall was strengthened by the fine playing of ‘Herbie’ Busch, “‘Rolie’’ Conway, ‘‘Eddie’’ Brennan, Roger Foster and ‘‘Jack”’ Dempsey.

Girls’ Basketball Team Under the capable supervision of their new coach, Miss Barbara Hood, the girls’ basketball team boasts of an entirely successful season in 1954. With an impressive record of ten wins and no defeats, our girls had the honor of winning the Girls’ Lowell Suburban League Championship. High scorers for the season were Shirley McGurn and Anne Kilmartin, who averaged twenty-four and fourteen points per game, respectively. An additional member joined the squad this year; the girls adopted a teddy bear as a mascot. They also exercised their vocal chords by singing “‘Me and My Teddy Bear’ to the constant delight of Coach Hood. Members of the championship team were Co-Captains Karla Hutchings and Anne Kilmartin, Alice Merten, Claire Stoker, Elaine O’Hara, Shirley Mc- Gurn, Mildred Towle, Irene Wansewicz, Helen Neiss, Edith Turnbull, Catherine Monagle. Joni McLaughlin, Anne O’Brien, Dorothy Beaulieu, Patricia O’Day, Arlene Musgrave, Eleanor Goode, Janet Bostwick, Janice Ericson, Pamela Ben- jamin (manager), and Carole Nadeau (manager).

Before the opening of the season, the Howe club was given a good chance of copping the league c rown but, because of some tough breaks, the boys could do no better than gain a tie with Burlington, for third place. For the third straight year, Coach Federico entered his squad in the Town- send ‘Tournament, and the lads put on their usual creditable performance. Among the fellows to have played their last game for the Green and White are Co-Captain Warren Hookway, ‘‘Bob’’ Collins, ‘‘Red’’ Hartshorn, Donet Allard, Roger Foster, George Trainor and ‘Dick’ Stearns. The results were as follows: HOWE 62 Hamilton 21 HOWE 50 Burlington 57 HOWE 70 Lowell 33 HOWE 76 Tewksbury 31 HOWE 51] Hamilton 44 HOWE Tf Wilmington 40 HOWE 2h Waltham 48 HOWE 61 Dracut 64 HOWE 65 Waltham os HOWE 69 Chelmsford 98 HOWE 40 Methuen 51 HOWE 65 St. Joseph 59 HOWE 42 Dracut 70 HOWE 50 Lowell 43 HOWE 59 Chelmsford 98 HOWE 67 Methuen 80 HOWE v4 Burlington 68 HOWE 48 St. Joseph 46 HOWE 74 Wilmington 34 HOWE 88 Tewksbury 36 Howe Cheerleaders The Howe High cheerleaders inspirited the football and basketball teams this year with great zest. They made a very enticing appearance in their pert two-piece uniforms. The uniforms were forest green corduroy with white mandarin collars, a snug fitting bodice, and a circular skirt lined in white taffeta. White gloves and white drum-majorette boots completed their attractive outfits. The cheerleading squad was ably led by Ann Sawyer. The remainder of the group consisted of Anne Kilmartin, Shirley McGurn, ‘‘Millie’’ Towle, Elaine O’Hara, ‘“Teddy’’ Moores, ‘‘Pam’’ Benjamin, Joan Maxfield, Arlene Musgrave, Helen Lee, and “‘Gerry’’ Bowie. The first undertaking of the squad was its annual dance, the Hobo Hop, held in the high school auditorium. This endeavor was very successful. As in years past, the cheerleaders held a football rally the day before the Chelmsford game, played Thanksgiving Day. A banquet was given in honor of the football team and cheerleaders, at which our zealous cheerleaders were awarded silver megaphones in honor of the effort they had put forth on behalf of Howe High School’s sports program. OUR CHAMPS Tri-Delta Club Tri-Delta, signifying three D’s, has Duty, Deference, and Decorum as its motto. In September under the direction of Mrs. Walsh, the Tri-Delta held its election of officers. The following girls were elected to lead the club for the en- suing year: president, Beverly Martin; vice-president, Edith Greathead; secre- tary, Arolyn Mosher; treasurer, Jacqueline Fox. Mary-Helene Revane was appointed chairman of the hospitality committee; Glenna Greathead was ap- pointed chairman of the social committee. Our meetings were held every Wednes- day at noontime. In October a Hallowe’en social was held at one of our noontime meetings. In November we had a most successful ‘“‘Sock Hop” as well as a Thanksgiving party. In December baskets were filled with Christmas dinners and were sent to needy families. Also in December a Christmas party was held for the teachers and the Tri-Delta girls, at which all had an enjoyable time. In January business meetings were held, at which plans were made for a record hop to be held in the spring. In February the annual trip to the Ice Follies was made. In March a splash party was held. All our thanks go to our enthusiastic adviser, Mrs. Walsh, under whose supervision the Tri-Delta of 1954 had a very pleasant and prosperous year. Newspaper Staff LITTLE ECHO Our newspaper, Little Echo, was named by Jacqueline Ann Fox, when she wrote for the paper in 1953. The name, Little Echo, was carried over to the 1954 newspaper; and Jackie became our editor-in-chief. The staff was as follows: adviser, Miss Marguerite Royal; editor-in-chief, Jacqueline Ann Fox; assistant editors, Eileen Perreault and John Conway; business manager, James Currier; literary editor, Mary-Helene Revane; gossip editor, Beverly Martin; poetry editor, Barbara McAnern; sports editors, Robert Collins and Edith Greathead; ‘‘Calendar,’’ Mary-Helene Revane; Staff Writers, Glenna Greathead, Patricia Welsh, Mary Pollard, Gloria Barretto, Elaine Cormier, Martha Perreault, Carolyn Cather, Isabella Dick, Marie Dubois; Typists, Mari- lyn Hamilton, Barbara Rubbone, Carol Weisel, Carol Elden, Louise Tribuna, Anna Hovey, Eveline Corkum, Margaret O’Brien, Pamela Benjamin, Barbara MacLennan, Patricia Welsh, Mary Pollard; Artists, Doris Bunke r and Joan Glaser. Senior Play We Shook the Family Tree, our Senior Play, directed by Miss E. Ruth Belcher, was a three-act comedy by Hildegarde Dolson. It was based on life in a family of teenagers. The cast included Alice Merten as Hildegarde Dolson; her brothers, Jimmy, Roger Foster; and Bob, Robert Hentz; her sister, Sally, Carol Power; mother, Carolyn Moores; father, Richard Stearns; father’s boss, Mr. Shermer, Robert Collins; Mrs. Shermer, Arolyn Mosher; Freddie Shermer, Warren Hookway; Bob's girl friend, Ellie-May, Pamela Benjamin; her friend, Jill, Shirley Terrill; and the little girl next door, Paige Mason, played by six-year-old ‘‘Judy’ Revane. We had two capable stage managers, Claire Stoker and Howard Iverson. It was a great dramatic success and the talk of our school for many weeks. We are most grateful to all who helped to make it the success that it was.

LOCKE Mr. Cyril Locke, ““Our Good Neighbor,’’ who was principal of Howe High School for twenty-seven years, is now enjoying the retirement which he well deserves. However, while he is not acting principal of the high school any longer, he visits us often, and helps with our extra-curricular activities. Mr. Locke takes a personal interest in us, his former students, both in and out of school. He also takes great pride in his home, which is landscaped with beautiful flower gardens. He is, too, on the board of the Billerica Business Men’s Club. He is respected and loved by all, for, we, the Class of 1954, can truthfully say he is “Our Good Neighbor.” Undergrad Officers Junior Officers Representatives and Adviser Sophomore Officers Representatives and Adviser Freshman Officers Representatives and Adviser Underclass Ballot We, the editors, submit the following underclass ballot: JUNIOR CLASS ACESS EAE GIL US el ee ne 9 ce Joan Newman OSS COL ATS a0) 6S @ a GS ak see i oe, ae Roland Conway iter 8S Bee nn a Helen Neiss MME Trl Le on sr oo we eave een cclec dec Cleered adedvaidiningavon id Philip Gaudet SGT Ey BAAN Bo gv eg a ee Peter Cassely MELA UN Pi Mg ete ck cls te dace ised hoe we bev ce acne William Smith Ee CINTA De OLR Y cere rel ea ook cin cc bsdeceend uietend ino Helen Lee MMP UIE TR We hic ese ie prea vo occ aed elicasig duceena Richard Conway er IOIN ROOM FAVORITE ooicccccccceprscccecccescdecvecseecens Richard Laskey TESS PS a a eo a ee Constance Christle SSS) GSS Sn ee Martha Perreault EET ANG SO Ge Me a a Norman Swanson MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED ............
