Is there even one of the ’49’ers who can’t remember that thrilling football game with the Sojihs that year. The Sojihomore year started with our feet firmly on the ground. It was the start of our real .school life. For class officers we elected “Bntch” Perrault, President; Bernie Piccini, Vice-President; “Bev” Nyberg, Treasurer; “Teenie” Anastos, Secretary. Mr. M’illiam Tiainor and Mi.ss Alice Danghraty were elected as our class sponsors. The first thing we had was the Sojihomore Social which was a great success. We also can’t forget our good rejirescntation in sjiorts, both boys and girls. In our Junior year, for the fir,st time in the history of Braintree High School, a Strident Council was organized. We re-elected the class officers of our Sojihomore year: “Bntch” Perranlt, President; Bernie Piccini, Vice-President; “Bev” Nyberg, Treasurer; “Teenie” Anastos, Secretary. We got our class rings, sjionsored the ojieretta ‘Ali kado,” and made jilans for onr Junior Prom which was a big success. At the end of the school year, most of us were just one steji away from graduation. In our Senior year we watched with mixed emotions the school being torn down. Jdrere was the sitting for class jiictures, buying of yearbooks, and the election of the same officers of the two jirevious years. Then came rehearsals for the Senior Show “The Thers.” The girls’ hockey team had a good year; the football team not too good, but they tried hard. In June we ordered caps and gowns, had our Senior Recejition, and Senior Banquet. Then came Graduation Night when we waved good-bye to dear old Braintree High! { 26 } LAST IIJILL and TtSTfllAtAT To wlioii) it may concern: c, the graduates of the ( ' lass One d ' honsand, Nine Hundred and Forty-nine, of illustrious old liraintree High School, located in Nor- folk ( ' onnty, Hraintree, Massachusetts, being of sound mind and fully aware of what we are doing, do hereby make this onr last will and testament: Janet Feryiinon leaves the office of Student (’onneil secretary to whomever is capable of the job.

SENIOR CLASS BRAINTREE HIOH SC ' HOOL JVitnessed by: Joan Langley Joan Thomas { 27 } SOIOR Well, here it is the year 1960, and we see Braintree’s chief census taker, M. Christie, cruising around town. Let’s go along with her and see what the graduates of 1949 are doing. K. Aitken is the mayor. His school hoard includes, D. Spera, principal of grammar schools; his secretary, P. MacDonald. For school teachers he has elected: M. Burns, J. Fabiano, M. George, E. Migliorini, and J. Sullivan, the kindergarten teacher. In the public works department we have A. IMarsico, street sweeper; P. Eisenhauer is the judge of traffic courts with J. Delaney as his police sergeant; they are trying to keep peace in B. Condon’s pool hall and in J. Fitzsimmons’ night club where B . Baker is the bouncer; E. Allen is the dishwasher and K. Bono the chief cook and bottle washer. While we’re here, let’s look over the chorus girls; A. Gogan, E. Hartford, and X. Giles. Well, here’s good old B. H. S., B. MacDougall is taking Miss Evans’ place, E. Callahan is the physical education instructor, and we have a new chemistry teacher, J. McCarty. Her two star pupils, J. Brousseau and R. Brown keep blowing up the new addition so G. Cody, R. Fraser, D. Hughes, D. LaTulippe, J. IMattie, J. INIeisenhelder, and J. Smith are still trying to rebuild it. The interior decorators, P. Correnti, T. Den- nehy, G. Eosue and X. Hoyt, are patiently waiting. K. Evans, P. Leo, B. X ' yberg, and B. Peckham, nurses in the new Braintree hospital, are all eyeing the new doctor, X ' . Mattson. His unfortunate patient is W. Nelson. Dr. Mattson is also the doctor for A. Moran’s midget football team. His star players are A. Avitable, B. Leavitt, D. Vec- chione, D. Vitagliano, and J. Zampine. Right next to the hospital is A. Bregoli’s home for aged women and on the other side E. Gurney and J. Holbrook’s home for bachelors. They’re complaining lately because J. Crowley’s Hudson Bus makes too much noise. Parts are hard to get now, but maybe R. Evans and C. Gale’s black market business could help him. But right now they’re in the barbershop run by B. Morgan, M. Woelfel, and J. Young. (They should collaborate with T. Manter, noted hair stylist.) Well, look here, IMortimer Peck has sold his establishment. It is now B. Piccini’s Cut-Rate L’ndertaking Parlor, L. Saunders is the assistant mortician and A. Davies is the head dresser (lucky stiffs!). X. Morrison, D. [Murray, M. Oliver, and J. Vines are digging graves for him. M. Johnson now has the A. Leo baby food show with P. Frano on sound effects; F. Gibb, the star crooner; X. Raub, the announcer. They are competing with J. Flynn’s disc jockey show. Xow that we are downtown, let’s look into some of the new stores. We now have Sak’s, Washington Street; X. Swasey is the credit manager; B. Olson the office boy; E. Robinson is running the elevator; J. Boucher is the cosmetic advisor; and X. Walder the head buyer. Further on we see J. Koffink, manager of Greene’s Five and Dime; J. McXutt, running a successful haberdashery; M. Mundf, a cobbler; D. Cassidy, butcher; J. McLaughlin’s Chinese laundry; and last but not least, G. Schultes, selling vitamin pills in Smiley’s, where J. MacGregor is the soda jerk. Oh, look over there, J. Golden’s circus is in town; [ I. Tanner is a tightrope walker; E. Patenaude the weight lifter; R. Puliafico, stilt walker; H. Dyer the lion tamer; E. and P. Spellman, human cannonballs; and M. Mahar is still telling corny jokes. Watch out crossing the street, those driving instructorettes, D. MacDonald and C. Moulton, are at it again. They’re dodging the cross-country experts, A. Carlsen, R. MacCormack, and F. White, who are racing a snail. Sing Sing has moved to the midtile of Braintree Dam, with A. Graziano the warden; R. Hine a prison guard, and R. Kidder serving a 99-year term because he was accused of a lock-picking crime that F. Potter actually committed. Whose lovely mansion are we entering? Oh, so J. Langley married a multi- millionaire. J. Thomas is her competent secretary, and M. Shutt her maid. S. Wentworth is now editor of the Braintree Observer and P. Trapp and B. Anderson are writing on Advice to the Lovelorn column for her. R. Quinlan is a specialist {28 fUTURtS at pulling pimieiitos through olives and J. Leo is a pretzel bender. We also find PL Maslen working at the dental profession and K. Finnerty as his assistant. The electoral campaigns are faring quite well with M. Fleming running them. A. Ana.stos is running for president and J. Ferguson for vice-j)resident. R. Ferrault is the Lnited States delegate to the L.X. and W. Finer the senator from Alabama. IL Power is off on her own, organizing a dog catchers’ union. Some are not living in Braintree now: J. Wi.seman has moved to ( ' onnecticut, W ilson to P’lorida, and J. Whitten and E. Walker are buyers in Paris with A. Webber as their interpreter. Some are working at hardier jobs: ( ' . McCarthy is a lumberjack; M. Reis, deep-.sea diver; H. Yerkes, meat packer; S. Woorlbury, blacksmith; R. L. Smith, clam- digger; and F. Regan, window washer in the Empire State Building, is not disturbed by the champion flag-pole sitter, E. Streeter. In the finer arts division: W. ( ' oates and E. Brown are lecturers; S. Merritt is rewriting the dictionary; J. Robinson is rewriting Mr. Perry’s math books for less intelligent mathematicians; T. Robinson is inventing shorter shorthand; B. Summers is up in dramatics as head of Braintree Theatrical College; J. Marshall is a piano tuner; R. llarkin, museum curator; W. Rushton, quiz kid; B. Vivona, sculptor; W.

Steelier, Sponsor The Yearbook and the Want patiiek is the chief renienilirance of your years at Hraintree Higli. I ' nder Miss Con- stance Stecher ' s guidance, Sally Went- worth and Ada Harvey, the co-editors, along with the staff, have done a wondertul job. They have puzzled and slaved along with Miss Steelier to make ends meet, and to get the publi- cations out on time. A very important group that must not be forgotten are the business managers: William Becker, Kric Maslen, Charles dale, Frederick (libb, (diaries ( ' arr, Herbert Ricket- son, William Bowie, and Winthrop Roberts. B. H. S. LIBRARY STAFF Ruth P. Strout, Director Lighteen sophomore, junior, and senior girls signed up for library staff the second week of school. Under the capable guidance of Miss Ruth Strout, B. H. S. librarian, the new girls soon learned how to charge and discharge books, send overdue notices, and many other duties of a librarian. The mem- bers of the staff were: Lorraine Maroc- kino, Judy Fielden, Jane Merrill, Joan Langley, Barbara Benson, Anne Marie Hayes, irginia Purdy, Nancy Giles, Josephine Saia, Elizabeth Cotter, Bar- bara Wright, Jayne Hubbard, Kath- leen Bono, Anne Friedmann, Patricia Hall, Winifred Anderson, Elizabeth Damiano, Dorothy Mahar.

Haworth, P. Trapp, P. Johnson, and L. Green. Ko-Ko is to marry Yum-Vum, but she loves Nanki- Poo. Since someone has to be exe- cuted in the town of Titipu, a death warrant is faked for Xanki-Poo but Katisha discovers the move. Ko-Ko makes love to Katisha, Xanki-Poo marries Yum-Yum, and all turns out well. The principals and the large supporting cast were appropriately costumed in the Oriental manner and the scenery was suggestive of Japan. BAND Artliur 1’. Hrtuc ' k, Director Come on along! Come on and hear! It’s tlie best hand in the land! Yes, Mr. H auek’s talented group has made a brilliant showing on the football field this year, headed by that eheerful majorette, Judy Leach. They have brightened assemblies with their pres- ence, and altogether been a joy to their school. Outstanding activities on their schedule were the State Festival and Annual High School Festival in May. They’ve kept up spirit this year, so let’s give three big cheers for a band that tops them all! GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB May L. Lindsay, Director ' I’his year’s Upper Class (Jlee Club, numbering 150 girls accompanied by Helen Wilson, were under the direction of Miss Mae L. Lindsay, instructor in vocal music at Braintree High School. The club participated in the Massa- chusetts State Festival and held their own annual Music Festival during National Music Week in May. At this concert the Glee Club sang one number alone and concluded their part of the program by joining with the combined Glee Clubs and Choir of 250 voices. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Mae L. Lindsay, Director The Boys’ Glee Club is the enthusiastic and famed boys’ choral group of B. H. S. They started their eventful year singing on the Student Radio Club over station WOIIL and appeared ev- ery other month on this local station. With Richard Marcolini at the piano they sang for many of the local groups in Braintree. One of these groups, the Rotary Club, contributed $300 for the boys’ uniforms. The high spots of their very busy year were the con- certs given at the Cushing Veterans Hospital and the Naval Hospital in Chelsea, and the first prize from WORL. STUDENT COUNCIL Marion L. Billings William E. Trainor S ponsors The Student Council started its second year as a sehool organization by elect- ing Eric Maslen, president; Robert Brooks, vice-president: Janet Ferguson and Athena Anastos, secretaries; and Merylle Rhodes, treasurer. The Coun- cil lived up to its purpose of creating a better understanding between the student body and faculty by present- ing assemblies, boosting school spirit, and supporting organizations and ac- tivities beneficial to the student. The most important work undertaken with- in the Council was the completion of its constitution. For furthering prog- ress the Council started plans for in- troducing the National Honor Society. CHOIR lae L. Lindsay, Director The Braintree High School Girls’ Choir, directed by Miss Mae Lindsay, and accompanied by Helen Wilson, concluded one of its most successful years. Since many of last year’s mem- bers had graduated, fourteen new girls were chosen to replace them. During the Christmas season, many concerts were given in various churches around greater Boston and the South Shore, and, as usual, the girls sang at the rockery of the Blue Hill Cemetery. . fter Christmas additional concerts were given and a series of radio broad- casts were made over station WORL in Boston. FOOTBALL Arigo L. La Tanzi, Coach The Braintree High gridsters, with their oft called “midget football”, ran up victories over Cambridge Latin while only one touchdown kept them from overpoweringWeymouth, Sanford, Me., North Quincy, Milton and Taunton, Attleboro and Norwood were a little too big for the battling Wamps to handle. Sophomores predominated in the green team with Art Moran, Don Vitaglianio, Dan Skinner, Don Leavitt, and John Zampine as the only seniors. Co-captain Danny Vecchione was the leading pacemaker and scorer. John Zampine, John Hart, and co-captain . 1 Avitable stayed in fighting almost without relief. I I GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY Alice K. Daugliraty, ( ' ouch Come Seiitemher and many fair lassies at H. 11. S. turn their thoughts toward one thing — hoekeyl .Approximately 7.5 girls turned out for [jraetiee and out of this number varsity and .L ' . teams were chosen. Janet M unroe and I’at Hall, eo-eaptains, passed their brilliant .s])irit on to their teammates. The girls had many a furious battle but, under the eoaehing of .Aunty .Alice, emerged to a victorious season with seven wins, three defeats, and one tie. (iames took place on Tues lay.s and ' i ' hursdays and were often staged on muddy fields. CROSS COUNTRY Paul V. Toolin, Coach Led by Coach Paul Toolin whose cry is forever, “The lowest score wins,” the famous harriers of Hraintree High .School attained many sweeping vic- tories in the 19-18 season. Hugh Huleatt, the sensational new sopho- more, and .Alan ( arisen, the widely acclaimed senior captain, have smashed over the finish line close together. .Almost invariably they were in first and second place in all of their meets, followed by their loyal teammates. Resides these single victories, Brain- tree’s harriers won the South Shore and State Championship in Class H. “Of thee we are proud. BASEBALL, 1948 Francis E. Alear, Coach Five wins to seven defeats closed the 19 f8 baseball season. The first few games showed little promise of suc- cess but when Coach Mear presented his “Midget Second Base Combat,” consisting of Stanley Mills and Bob Coodale, victory l)egan to shine. Tommy Cirouard and .Jack Barranger filled ont the rest of the bases with .loe Frazier as catcher. Outfielder posi- tions were taken care of by AA ' illiam Brooks, A ic Damiano and Donald Bell. The pitchers were AVilliam Es- son, Robert Lucas and AVilliam Le- mieux. Robert Donovan capably handled the position of utility infielder.

Miss Alice E. Daughraty. The varsity team, com- posed of senior girls, and tlie second team of juniors and sophomores, played against opponents from Abington, Randolph, Avon, North Easton, Stoughton, and Rockland. From December to early February the girls played with continued spirit and zeal, to make theirs’ an interesting and suc- cessful season. RIFLE CLUB James L. Jordan, Sponsor . s September fades into October, the ] 0 ])s and bangs heard in Braintree are not those of hunters, but the Braintree High rifle club organizing for another season. Flvery londay evening the team ])ractices under the direction of its sponsor, Mr. Jordan, preparing for the shoulder-to-shoulder matches which they play with teams from Quincy and North Quincy, Old Colony De- iMolay, and the Quincy seascouts. They also take part in postal matches held by the N.R.A. with competition from all parts of the country. BASKETBALL Francis E. Mear, Coach The B.H.S. lioopsters, piloted by Coach Fran Mear, officially and successfully commenced their 1948-49 season by defeating the alumni in their first game. From Captain “Butch” Per- rault, sole veteran of the previous season, Leo Saunders, Don itagliano, and Bob Lucas, Coach Mear obtained a combination of ability and height, while sophomore sensation Kenny Mil- Hams, juniors John Peterson and Bob Dagley, and seniors Danny Vecchione, Bernie Peccini, and “Mac” i c- Cormack rounded out the V’arsity line- up. The season was a difficult one with five home — and twelve away games. TRACK, 1948 Paul . Tooliii, Coach In the un(lefeate l 1!)1H season, the track team of Hraintree High School was a runner-up iu Class ( ' at the State Meet. With Milliani Brooks, Robert Rauria, and Alan ( ' arisen leading, the rest of the team followed in beating the five big opposing teams of the season, while ( arisen set a new record for the mile run. With the theme, “Aim for the highest,” Braintree beat (juincy, 473 to 383 ; North (Quincy, 5!) to 13; Rockland, 57% to Thayer, 50 to and Weymouth, 44 to 4 2. GIRLS’ SOFTBALL, 1948 Alice E. Daughraty, Coach The second year of girls’ softball at Braintree High with Betty Richardson as captain and Janice Joyce manager proved a big success. The Wamp-ettes won five games and lost one to Co- hasset, where the game was a close one with a score of ll-l ' -2. The soaring scores showed that the Braintree girls had plenty of power in the hitting line. Louise Mariani and Betty Richardson were the most notable of the sluggers. The girls showed a big improvement over the previous year’s achievements, due to more practice and experience. BOYS’ TENNIS, 1948 Alton C. Perry, Coach The Braintree High Roys’ Tennis Team closed its season with a record of two victories and eight defeats. Though the Wampville groups matches were not too successful, their opposing teams were superior, a fact which would bring any team down to defeat. Proudly wearing the colors of blue and vvhite were Randy Walker, Robert (luibord, Russell Kidder, Arthur Grif- fiths, Robert (lillis, Richard Gillies, Robert Xoye.s, and Eddie Cahill. The opposing teams were Hingham, (Juin- y� iVlilton, Brockton, Thayer, and North Quincy. The two matches they won were both with North (juincy. MAJORETTES CHEERLEADERS Arthur P. Hauck Alice E. Daughraty Director, Respleiulent in royal blue and white uiiiforins the lovely majorettes pranced down the football field and twirled their way into everyone’s heart. Hats off to this wonderful group: Judy Leach (Head), Carol Peterson, ir- ginia Purdy, Ellen .Vnderson, .Vnna Zahn, and .Vnn Oliver. ' I ' he cute, peppy cheerleaders inspired school si)irit on the football field, basketball courts, and in assemblies. These girls really put their hearts and souls into their work: . thena .Vnastos (Head), Joan Thomas, Ray Pinnerty, Marjorie Stevens, Merylle-Lee Rhodes, irgiida Natoli, ( ' onnie Pratt, Nancy .Vilen, and .Vlice Sweezey. WAMPVILLE FLASH ( ' onstance F. Steelier, Sponsor When the good citizens of Praintree picked up their weekly Braintree l)b- serrors during the past year, the excel- lent reporting on the “doin’s” at Braintree High found on the page en- titled WamprUlc Flush, was the work of the English “Jl students. As a part of their journalism course these stu- dents “scouted up school news and wrote many fine editorials, news stories, and sports articles. Lnder the guid- ance of their instructor and sponsor, Constance P ' . Steelier, the staff of the ]V amprille Flash has done a commend- able job of reporting our news. THE JUNIOR RED CROSS Ruth P. Strout, Sponsor The Junior Red Cross was newly organized this year under the leader- ship of Miss Ruth Strout, librarian. Melryle Rhodes and Janet Peekham, members of the organization, were B. H. S. representatives to the Junior Red Cross ( ' ouncil whose headquarters are in Boston. Marion Horton, the oii ' y other officer of the group, was secretary. Other members were girls chosen from every home-room in the upper classes. iVIany comic books, playing cards and pinochle cards were collected for hospitalized veterans, and the girls met each month to make holiday party favors. ORCHESTRA Arthur 1’. Ilauck, Director Witli a lot of “fortissimo,” a fjreat “hravissimo is due the Uraiiitree High Seliool orchestra for their work during the past year in tlie field of music. I ' lider the direction of . rthur 1 . Ilauck the group stressed, in their many entertainment programs, semi- classical music and compositions from the ever-popular musical shows. The orchestra also took part in the two main musical events of the year — the State .Music Festival and our own spring concert. Featured hy Mr. Hauck in many of the programs was the excellent string section. THE ’49ERS Judy Robinson, Director This year ' s Senior .Show had an un- usually entertaining plot, for it was a comical reproduction of the actua writing of the senior show. The ’4i)ers was presented in two acts, the first taking [)Iace in the Gay -Nineties, and the second brought up to date and situated here in our own liraintree High. Students were auditioned for main parts by director Judy Robinson, and rehearsals got under way after the Christmas vacation. The commit- tees wish to thank the .Senior Class for their full co-operation in making the show a success. GIRLS’ TENNIS . lice E. Daughraty, Coach With Hetty Richardson as captain and Miss .Mice E. Daughraty as coach, the girls’ tennis team ended their 1948 season with a 4-0 win over Needham. The total score at the end of the season was five victories and three defeats. The hardswinging lassies were first singles, Betty Richardson; second sin- gles, Mary Cavanagh; third singles, Louise Mariani; first doubles, Janet Monroe and Carolyn Moulton; second doubles, Sylvia Ripley and Judy Rob- inson. The teams that trounced the Mamps were Hingham and Norwood. Norwood won twice and Hingham once, after an earlier defeat. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Mildred R. Richards, Sponsor Braintree High School lias long needed an organization wherein the students who either had completed their study of French, or were taking French, could have an opportunity of speaking the language. Such an organization, newly formed this year, was Le Cercle Fran- cais. The activity at the meetings, held twice monthly and conducted entirely in French, consisted of French songs, plays and other forms of enter- tainment which gave the members of the club wonderful practice in speaking and hearing French. The group had invaluable aid from Miss Mildred Richards, faculty sponsor of the club. DRAMATIC CLUB Barbara Hazel, Sponsor When the idea of a dramatic club at B.H.S. was first proposed last year, it was met with welcome by the more dramatically minded students. The club, after it was finally established, contained about twenty-five members who elected as their officers Barbara Summers, president; Dorothy Nelson secretary; and Barbara Blake, treas- urer. Such activities as attending pro- fessional plays in Boston, producing their own plays with the members having complete supervision over the productions, and forming a choral speaking choir were included by the club during its first year MANAGERS AND COACHES Jeanne Johnson To anyone familiar with sports at Braintree High, the work done by the coaches and faculty managers is quite evident. Greetings to James Jordan, coach of rifle team; Paul Toolin, as- sisted by David Ward and William Trainor, cross country and track; Francis Mear, varsity basketball and baseball; Arigo LaTanzi, varsity foot- ball and junior varsity basketball; John Crowell and Harrison Jordan, freshman football; Albert Doucette and George Boothby, assistant coaches of varsity football; Alton Perry, tennis; Alice Daughraty, girls’ tennis, hockey, softball, and basketball; and William Foley and Edward Oakman, faculty managers.
