These reporters worked hard and long to assemble all the news of the school so that subscribers 1o The Wampatuck might have a complete record of all B.H.S. school events for the year. Through the co-operation of the news staff members three issues of the school magazine and the yearbook have been published. I I i o }o bu u EDITOlilflL BOflllD Excellent work has been done this year by the editorial board in compiling news for the various columns under the guidance of Marilyn Needham and Barbara Smith; in designing and executing the covers and other art work which adorned the pages of the magazine under the inspiration of Barbara Blake; in reporting the many sports activi- ties under the capable leadership of Merylle-Lee Rhodes and Fran Meaney; in managing sub- scriptions under the sponsorshij) of Jane Hub- bard and her many homeroom salesmen. La.st named but of fir.st importance is the editor-in-chief-of-all, Jeanne Johnson, whose willing co-operation made for the success of the publication of The Want pafuck. i I ouii GoeiiDifln flfiGas ay back in 1947, when iNIiss H azel I I. Summerville and Mr. Arigo LaTanzi accepted the election of the Class of 1950 to be its sponsors, little did they realize what problems would face them during the next three years, bdrst, there was the Sophomore Social for which INIiss Summerville and Mr. LaTanzi had general charge of the various committees. Then came the job of helping the class in its junior year to select its rings, the money probLins being left to the s})onsors. Next arrived the operetta “The Pirates of Penzance,” sponsored by the Class of ’50 which presented its sponsors with the business, properties and lighting ])roblems of the production. The last main project of the junior year was the Junior Prom, and then came the all important senior year. The Senior Show, Senior Banquet, (Iraduation, and finally the Senior Reception, all followed in fa.st succession, and each in its turn presented more “hair-gray- ing” j)roblems for the two sponsors. And now that their high school days are over, the Class of 1950 would like to leave one ])arting “thank-you” to its sponsors. Miss Summerville and Mr. LaTanzi, for making this class the success that it is. A Mi- f 1 fe SSf ■ C ■ r 1 ! i ■ ! 1 i, . j An up and coming group of advertising managers made for a successful year for The fVampatuch in 1949-1950. Ed- ward Caramanica “the boy with the car,’’ supplemented by the E. M. Bus Line, covered the Quincy accounts along with those in outlying districts; Frank Burns and Charles Mundt took care of the East section of the town; Thomas Targett and Fred Inkley handled soliciting in the South area; and Charles Miller and Donald Oatt canvassed the Braintree merchants. The chief-in-charge-of-all finances was Miss Constance F’. Steelier, Head of the Fhtglish Department and Adviser to The Warnpatuck. It took a li ttle “doing” to make both ends meet but, with the co-operation of all hands, the task was accomplished once again. I 1 FOOTBALL Arigo LaTan .i, Coach Fran Meaiiey I iider tlie able leadership of ( ' o-Cap- taiiis Stanley Mills and John Hart, the Wanips finished their first winning season in three years. ' ietories were posted over Stoughton, ( ' ainbridge, Latin, Attleboro, Wellesley, I’lyinouth and Milton. North Quincy, Taunton, Ilingham, and undefeated Weymouth collected the laurels in our games with them. The season was characterized by lightning-like drive and marvelous team spirit. Playing a braml of clean, hard tootball, our boys distinguished themselves nobly as true gentlemen of the sport. If character building is the prime objective of football, we can rest assured that this has been accom- plished admirably at Braintree this year. CROSS COUNTRY Paul Toolin, Coach Fra n M eaney Although upset by Rockland, in the first defeat for the Wamps in twenty-four dual meets, the Blue and White harriers easily defended their South Shore Cross Country Champion- ship with Hugh Huleatt pacing the field for the second consecutive year. Co-Captains Huleatt and Bill Rae were the first Braintree finishers in almost all the meets and Hugh stretch- ed his victory skein in dual meets to eleven. The boys are to be congratu- lated for their outstanding record. This is the largest cross country scjuad in Braintree’s history and it augurs well for the future. GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY . lice E. Daughraty, Coach Grace Magazu This fall proved no difi ' erent from any other year, for when the cry for hockey candidates was issued the usual large numbea- of girls showed up for practice. Rita Frazier lead the team. Even though the Wampville lassies won only two games and lost seven the season can certainly be called a successful one along the lines of sportsmanship and fun. Letter winners for this season’s hockey team were Rita Frazier (cap- tain), Ellen Anderson, Arlene Cahoon, Effie linlayson, Olive Holbrook, Joan Mahar, Virginia Natoli, Connie Pratt, Merylle-Lee Rhodes, Marjorie Stevens, Lois Thomas and Charlotte Nelson (manager). BOYS’ BASKETBALL Fran Mear, Coach Fran Meancy ' I ' lu- li)4i)-5() edition of tlie Braintree Wami)s was captained hy Hot Lucas, the footl)all, l)asketl)all, and i)asel)all star. As in other years, Braintree roared througli its schedule and again proved to l)e a Class “B Teeli Tourney power. In the years he has mentored at Braintree, Coach iNIear rates this team as tlie l)est. They improved with every game and developed team i)lay and defensive work in addition to their exeei)tional speed and marksmanship. Boh Dee was one of the State ' s out- standing centers. Ifoh Dagley, Tom O ' Connell, and Bill Slauson were excel- lent Hoormen and scorers. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL -Xliee Daughraty, Coach These swift and able varsity hoopsters, under the direction of Coach Daugh- raty, were a credit to Braintree High with their record of eight wins and only two losses. High scoring honors were shared by Joanne Dee with LJS points, M. Morgan with 57 points, and L. Maroehino 50 j)oint.s. This topnotch varsity was aptly aided by larlene Maekay and Beverly Bullock, man- agers. The Wampettes, wearing new blue swing skirt uniforms, were: Seniors — Co-eaptains D. Mahar and L. Maroehino, B. Wright, IM. Nor- ris, E. (ioulding, L. Thomas, P. Matt- son, M. (iallahue, U. F’razier; Juniors — M. Morgan, V. Puliafieo, J. Greene, and J. Dee. The team consisted of high-scorers and smooth players. GIRLS’ SOFTBALL ’49 ■Mice E. Daughraty, Coach irginia Wolcott The girls on the 194!) softball team en- joyed a very successful season for out of their ten games, they were victorious in seven, dropping only three by very low scores. One of the highlights of the season was the game between the track team and the girls which the boys won by a score of ‘25-14. The team played in such towns as Avon, Cohasset, North Easton, Hingham, and Randolph. The captain of the team was Flleanor Gurney and the manager, Nancy Swasey. Fifteen of the team members received their letters at the Spring Sports Council Banquet. i|[H m [RW 1 BASEBALL ’49 Fran Mear, Coach Fred Nelson Braintree High’s ’4!) baseball team be- gan the season facing a schedule which featured powerhouses Wellesley and I5rockton. Starting slow, the boys lost a well played, hard fought game to Wellesley aud were unable to find the winning combination until they handed a decisive 8-0 licking to ( ' anton. They continued to play in hard luck until near the end of the season when they found themselves and wop three out of the last four games. This rally started with the loss of a nij) and tuck heart- breaker to Brockton, followed by three smashing victories over Weymouth, ( ' anton, and North (Quincy. TRACK ’49 Taul V. Toolin, Coach Everett MacLennan As usual. Coach Toolin’s track team came through with another fine year, winning all its dual meets, placing sec- ond to Brockton in the South Shore meet and making a fine showing in the State meet at Newton. Alan Carlsen, Dick IMacCormack, Hugh Huleatt and Frank White showed fine form all year in the distance runs while Bob Brooks and Dave White were consistent dash winners. Don itagliano and Fred Bickford were the dependable shot putters. Bob Dee displayed promise in the high jump, and Paul Trapp, Dick Brickley, and Ken Williams were con- sistent point winners in the other field events. BOYS’ TENNIS ’49 Alton C. Perry, Coach Fra n eaney The racket men did not have a too successful time of it in 1949. They bowed to every school on the schedule with the sole e.xception of North (Quincy whom the boys defeated not once but twice. Practically the entire squad was lost through graduation. I ' id ' ortunately, the status of boys ' tennis here is not very healthy. Coach Perry cannot produce a winning com- bine unless a goodly number of athletes are interested enough to try out for the team. Cndergraduates, it is up to you to put tennis on its feet. Co to it. GIRLS’ TENNIS ’49 Alice E. Daughraty, Coach (irace lagazii Rackets were flasliiiig constantly and the Braintree High courts were seldom neglected last spring when the racket- happy Wainp lassies were preparing for the matches ahead of them. Cap- tain Janet Munroe proved to he an e.xcellent leader when she filled in her position as head of the tenids team. Aunty .Mice’s girls played eight matches this season, winning three (two to Wellesley and one to Needham ) and losing five. Janet Munroe, (cap- tain), Carol Moulton, Silvia Ripley, Alary Comeau, Judy Rohinson, Joyce Le A’angie and junior Muriel Norris were all winners when tennis letters were passed out hy Coach Daughraty. FACULTY MANAGERS AND COACHES Jeanne Johnson The success of athletic activities at H.H.S. d uring the past year has been due mainly to the excellent managers and coachitig staff which includes Miss Alice Daughraty, coach of the girls ' activities (field hockey, haskethall, and softball); . rigo LaTanzi, head coach of varsity football; Paul Toolin, coach of cross country and track; Principal James L. Jordan, director of the Rifle Club; Fran Mear, coach of varsity basketball; .Alton Perry, boys’ tennis; John Crowell, coach of fresh- man basketball and baseball; IL AVard Manghue, freshman football; AVilliam Foley and Edward Oakman, faculty managers. CHEERLEADERS .Alice E. Daughraty, Director Nancy -Allen “AA ' e’re from Braintree High School and no one could be prouder!” This has been the cry issuing from the nine peppy cheerleaders and their loyal Wampville supporteis. With the magnificant stadium and glamorous gym as inspiration, howling wind or snow never dampened the spirits of the fellas and girls who loyally sup- ported the pigskin and basketball out- ings. The nine toters of the blue mega- phones who spelled out Braintree were (B) Merylle-Lee Rhodes, (R) Rita (-’handler, (.A) Margie Stevens, (I) Nancy Jane .Allen, co-captain, (N) (linny Natolie, (T ) Dot Mahar, (R) -Alice Sweezy, (E) Connie Pratt, co- captain, (E) Sue Giles.

Thrasher, Instructor Marjorie Libby The students of the Current Periodical Literature Class have been writing the articles about Braintree High School that you have been reading in the Quincy Patriot Ledger and the Braintree Observer during the past year. Miss Thrasher has divided the course into two phases. In one, the students read most of the well known American mag- azines and newspapers to learn about the different types of writing. In the other, actual newspaper articles are written by them for weekly publica- tion. This course is designed to give the students a better understanding of current periodical literature and prac- tical experience in writing. B.H.S. LIBRARY STAFF Ruth P. Strout, Librarian Jayne Hubbard Due to the enlarged library. Miss Ruth Strout, B.H.S. librarian, organized a larger staff this year than she has had in former years. Sixteen Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls took turns helping Miss Strout in the library dur- ing theii study periods and learning the duties of a litirarian: filing cards, shelv- ing books, checking books out and in, and making out index cards. lembers of the staff are: Elinor Smith, . nn Ha yes, Winifred Anderson, Jayne Hub- bard, Claire Xelsson, Lois Thomas, ’irginia Purdy, Fllizabeth Cotter, Bar- bara Marinella, Barbara Wright, FVances Matheson, Florence Kelly, Fllizabeth Damiao, Grace Xewman, Beverly King, Joan Ratcliffe. STUDENT COUNCIL lliirrisoi) W. Jordan M arion L. Hillings S pnii.ior. ' i IloHert Cavin The Hraintree High School Student Council really shifted into high gear this year with the appointment of Hoh Brooks as president. Hoh stimulated the group to action with the result that many activities were engaged in. Be- sides promoting many dances in the new gym, they also took part in or sponsored a few assemblies as well as the regular work of the Council. In the Council, there are five members from each of the three uijjjer classes. Of the fifteen, five were elected as officers. Besides Bob Brooks as presi- dent were Nancy Allen, vice-president; Dorothy Mahar, recording secretary: Rita Chandler, corresponding secre- tary; and Bob Cavin, treasurer. JUNIOR RED CROSS Ruth P. Strout, Spo nxnr Ma rion Horton The American Junior Red Cross was established at Braintree High School as a service organization during the school year 11)J8-J9 by Miss Ruth Strout, Dean of (!irls. Last year there was one member from each homeroom; this year the membership was open to all inter- ested girls. The girls met about once a month, primarily to make holiday fa- vors for the veterans’ hospitals. The official representatives to the Junior Red Cross Council were: Janet Adolf- son, sophomore; Janet Beckham, jun- ior; and Merylle-Lee Rhodes, senior. These girls attended special meetings in Boston to learn what the Junior Red Cross organizations are doing in other schools. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Mildred R. Richards, Sponsor Ada Harvey Endorsed by the present junior and senior French students, Le Cercle Franeais launched its second year at Braintree High School under the direc- tion of Miss IMildred Richards, the originator of this plan as an extra- curricular French activity. This pro- gram enabled the pupils to further their study of the language orally by afford- ing them ample time in which to con- verse with each other in French. The following are the club’s officers who were elected at the initial meeting of Le Cercle Franeais: Jeanne Johnson, president; Inga Harmon, vice-presi- dent; Muriel Norris, secretary; Rich- ard Bowie, treasurer; Nancy Whyte, reporter. RIFLE CLUB James L. Jordan, In itruclor Jeanne Johnson The B.ILS. Rifle Clul), under the in- struction of Principal James L. Jordan, started its season with a hang with a total enrollment of fifty-two memhers including four seniors, six juniors, eighteen sophomores, and twenty-four freshmen. The program for the year included shoulder-to-shoulder matches with neighboring schools and also postal matches in the Xational Rifle . ssociation. Wh en shooting in these matches a team of ten was selected with the five highest scores totalled in the final result. The new held range, al- though ideally equipped, proved to he too small, so still another range was established on the auditorium stage. SUMMER RASH Barbara E. Hazel, Director Lorraine Marochino On December third. Summer Rash was presented at Braintree High School. The play opened with Annabeth Hughes reading her script to Kenneth Fowler, director of the players. He turned her down for a part in his play so Annabeth intercepted his letter ask- ing a Broadway star to appear in a “Fowler Player” production. Im- personating the actress Julia Sterling, Annabeth planned her revenge on Kenneth. The night of the play Julia conveniently disappeared but the play was a howling success with Annabeth playing the lead. Summer Rash had a delightful cast and was enjoyed by all who attended. “GOLDEN MEMORIES” Grace Magazu, Director Jeanne Johnson “Memories, memories . . .” Every- one has memories including the mem- bers of the Class of ’50 who presented their senior show “Golden Memories,” on February 10. The main action of the production centered about Mr. and M rs. William Sands who, in 1950, celebrated their golden wedding anni- versary. A clever flashback took the audience back to 1900 when the Sands were “courtin’.” Under the able direction of Grace Magazu, accom- panied by Phil Venti and his orchestra, various song, dance and comedy skits plus a fine chorus as background for the leads Joan McLaughlin and Robert Haworth, all went to make a highly successful production. I BOSTON BALLROOM BROADCAST Merylle-Leo Rhodes Oil Noveinher i), Nancy Allen, Merylle- Lee Rhodes, Fran Meaney, and John l)e ineentis presented Braintree’s ten favorite tunes on Boh Clayton’s Bos- ton Ballroom, Station WHDIL Boh Clayton gave them a royal welcome. He presented the two girls with home jiermanents, and the hoys with large lioxes of coconut hars for the “fine joh they did on his program. The four seniors spent several evenings and one complete day counting the votes and preparing the program. The top tune was “That Lucky Old Sun.’’ Everyone who listened that evening agreed the delegates did a fine joh. JUNIOR PROM ’49 Hazel M. Summerville .Vrigo L. LaTanzi S ponnora larilynn Needham The Junior Prom, sponsored hy the Class of 1!)5(), was held at Town Hall on IMay 40, 194!). The theme of the decorations was a spring garden, and the hall looked very gay with its pastel streamers, picket fences, and beautiful flowers and plants. Sweet tones from Ned Barry’s Orchestra added to the festive atmosphere. The class spon- sors, M iss Hazel M. Summerville and . rigo LaTanzi, and all the memhers of the various committees worked hard to make this a gala occasion. The chair- men of the committees were: Philip ' enti, orchestra; Nancy .Mien, tickets; Virginia Purdy, publicity; and Marilyn Needham, decorations. THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE M ae L. Lindsay ' , Director Joan McLaughlin “The Pirates of Penzance,” a (lilhert and Sullivan operetta, was presented in March, 194!), hy the (’lass of ’50, co- operatively directed hy IMiss Mae Lindsay and Miss Barbara Hazel, with Richard IMarcolini as accompanist. The cast was headed hy .Joan Mc- Laughlin, Barbara Blake, Muriel Pres- ton, Marjorie Christie, Beverly Ny- herg, Donald MacCiegor, Paul Trapp, Donald MacNeil, and James Mac- (Iregor. Pirates and police, an old nursery ' maid and the lov ' ers, (leneral Stanley and “his bevy of beauties” — all combined with the subtle humor and lilting lyrics, typical of (lilhert and Sullivan, to make it a smashing suc- cess. 1 ff 1 ' A « j b I THE ORCHESTRA Arthur P. Hauck, Director Jeanne Johnson Carrying on the tradition of the past, tlie l!)49-5() oreliestra, under the direc- tion of Arthur P. Hauck, has provided Praintree Higli School with the finer elements of music during the past year. Playing such difficult selections as the accompaniment to the operetta pro- duction “Erminie” and the music for the graduation exercises of the Class of ’50 have been two of its outstanding performances. . lso a section of the orchestra, the brass wind ensemble has been active during the past year. The group, composed of four trumpets and three trombones, has played at several social functions and has been widely acclaimed. THE BAND Arthur P. Hauck, Director Thomas Targett Somethin’ new has been added! Yes, something new in the way of tempo and fast breaking formations which two factors were, in part, responsible for the superiority of the B.H.S. band over all other such groups last fall. The drum majorettes did much to pep up the assemblies and rallies with their colossal vigor, and the introduction of a new Indian War Dance led to new heights in pre-game festivities. The outstanding example of bandmanship of this year leaves a challenge to future bands at B.H.S. Through the guid- ance of Mr. Arthur P. Hauck the band is becoming the leading concert-march- ing band on the South Shore. UPPER CLASS GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Mae L. Lindsay, Director Patricia Mattson The Upper Class Girls’ Glee Club of 150 members is under the direction of Miss Mae Lindsay, accompanied by Helen Ulvila. Their entire year was devoted to practice for the State Festi- val in order to retain the same high standards former glee clubs have achieved. This year’s Festival was held at Attleboro. They also sang at the Annual Music Festival held in May, in celebration of National Music Week. I ! I I I- BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Mae L.

The Boys’ Glee Club formed the male chorus of this year’s fine operetta “Erminie.” They were an important part of the annual Brain- tree High School May Eestival which commemorates National Music Week. With numerous engagements com- pleted, the hoys can look hack on an- other successful season. CHOIR Mae L. Lind.say, Director Patricia Mattson The Braintree High School (iirls’ f’hoir directed hy Miss M ae Lind.say are the winter songbirds of the South Shore. With the graduation of the seniors last year, including the accom- panist, the many openings were filled hy Sophomores and .luniors as well as Seniors. Helen I ' lvila became ac- companist. During the Christmas sea- son they sang at many places including All Souls Church, Wellesley Hills Congregational Church, Fore River Grange, .Masonic Temple, Quincy, Norfolk County Hospital and the Blue Hill Cemetery. The pleasure of their singing was enjoyed as much hy the girls as hy those who listened to them. FRESHMEN GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB .Mae L. Lind.say, Director Patricia Mattson The Freshmen (iirls’ (ilee (’luh, num- bering (iO girls, is under the direction of Miss Mae Lind.say. (iale Osthagan, also a freshman, is the accompanist.

I i {50 } lUMfli m RtnKinBEii Fred Nelson Fffie Finlayson SeptcnihcT 7, 19-K), we, the ( ' lass of 1950, descended upon ])oor defenseless Hraintree High School as a grouj) of wondrous, wide-eyed pupils with great expectations, eager to take advantage of the courses and facilities now open to us, to make new friends, and to take our place in the social life of the high school. (Iradually recovering from the confusion of onr first few weeks, we became accpiainted with the building, new friends, the teachers and the courses which were to accompany us throughout our four years at Braintree High. When it came to sj)orts, we freshmen were not to sit on the sidelines; we proved our athletic prowess by our hue football, basketball, softball and baseball teams. We ac- (piire 1 a solid nn Icrstan ling of the basic fun lamentals of athletics and good sportsmanship. The Sophomore year found us eager to return to school and renew friendshij)s. Having attended .school at a different session our Freshman year, we mingled with the upperelassmen for the hrst time. We began to take a more active interest in our school and began to develoj) school spirit. The hrst thing we did as a class was to elect ofheers: Stan Mills, president; Bob Brooks, vice-president; Bob (loodale, treasurer; and Dorothy Mahar, seeretary. Miss Hazel M. Summerville and iMr. Arigo LaTanzi were chosen co- sponsors of the elass. For the hrst time a Student Council was organized for the better- ment of relations between the student body and the faculty. The big dance this year was the Sophomore Social and it went over with a bang. Near the end of this year work was started on the addition and the new g.yin. Onr .Junior year we returned to a school engulfed in the confusion of the new construction and its resulting inconvenience. Our class ofheers of the previous year were re-electe;l. The time to choose class rings arriv’cd. From several styles submitted we made our choice and waited for the enti of the year when they became ours. The year’s two big events were the operetta “The Pirates of Penzance,” and the Junior Prom, both successes. The class was well represented on both the girls’ and boys’ athletic teaTus which we heartily supported. In the fall we returned to Braintree High School for the last time as under- graduates. We were Seniors of a new and wonderful school. Tlu ' rooms were painted eye- pleasing pastels and the facilities were greatly improved and modernized. An addition had been built at the rear of the old building anrl the new gym was the best ecpiipped as well as the be.st looking on the South Shore. We re-elected the same elass officers for the third term. (Quickly we fell into that old familiar routine anti before we realized it the time for class pictures was upon us. Following this we ordered yearbooks and paid our class dues. The Senior Show was well produced anti most successful. We attended the Senior Banquet, secured caps and gowns and began ])ractieing for graduation. June 14, 1950, we grafluated. The last event we attemleil in which we were repre.sented as the CUass of 1950 was the Senior Reception on .June 16, when we .said a final farewell to the school life which we had known for four of “the best years of our lives.” J51 J StniOfl BtOOtSTS We, the graduating class of Braintreo High School, Town of Braintree, ( ' onnty of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, in these United States of America, being of feeble minds and tired bodies, do hereby make our last will and testament in the customary manner and form, with the following be(juests: We regretfully leave the beautiful, new school to the Jiniiors.
