Second row: Ruth Baker, Marion Corley. Marion Harding, Madeline Clough, Lucy Clough, Catherine Castle, Joan Tobin, Mary Weeks, Florence Murdock, Veronica Hazen. Doris Grant, Olifa von Sehantz, Laura Mclntire. Third row: Frank Kerwin, Joseph Ryan, Thomas O'Donnell, William Dunne. James Riley, Eliot Hall. Hamilton Allen, John Wallace. Orlando Seafati, Thomas Yonker. Nicholas DeSalvo, Fred Clark. First Row: Oh! Defense has Miss Helen Woodside run ragged. Defense stamps, sugar, and first aid courses haunt her, but she is perfectly willing las usual! to be haunted by any such worth while activities. Miss Margaret R. Boynton, hardworking French teacher, has just re- ceived a degree of Master of Education from Boston University. Miss Dorothy P. Kendall's fondest hope. as yet unfulfilled. is to find a budding Shelley. or a Keats-on-the-make, in one of her English classes. Mr. Edwin T. Peterson, who supervises lab experiments and winning track teams with equal skill, has recently assumed the duties of Chief Air Raid Warden for Pre- cinct 4. Mr. Howard T. Bottomley, infamous for his terrific history exams, again brought the Senior Play to a financial success with a complete sellout. Mr. Ralph A. Eaton's picture appears again elsewhere. Mr. Harold E. Cowan. assistant principal, still fosters the generous and much-appreciated hope that some year a graduating class will all find positions as they leave D. H. S. Mr. Daniel J. Keegan holds the none-too-coveted number nine spot in this last draft. Besides having to give up buying a new Buick this year, Mr. Keegan is trying to find tires for the chariot he now drives. Mr. John E. Heaphy, football coach. hopes that his Junior Air Raid Wardens will prove competent in emergencies and will show to advantage the effects of their training. Miss Elinor Connor. new freshman English teacher, already a favorite because of her cheery personality and smiles, obtained her Bachelors and Masters degrees from B. U. Mrs. Evelyn Vietze, business practice and typing substitute, also claims B. U. as ber Alma Mater where she received her Bachelor of Scienc: degree. Miss Charlotte Truitt, replacing Mrs. Edmund Willard, teaches freshman and sophomore commercial English. She enjoys her work and hopes to succeed in her profession. Second Row: Miss Ruth Baker, junior English. keeps quite busy with her war work, where she is addressed as Lieutenant Baker. Perhaps her position will warrant her a few new tires -she hopes so. Miss Marion E. Corley claims her one hope, prayer, and dream is that some day she'11 have sufiicient time to eat a meal at school. Miss Marion S. Harding, who has won 8 gggg REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HICiHgSCIilQOL V hhgg gg g the special admiration of the faculty for her teaching of the Red Cross First Aid course, has a fond desire to see all her pupils receive their Red Cross certificates. Miss Madeline Clough, teaching Latin to all classes, spends her summers at home in Kennebunkport, Maine, where this summer she wishes to be allowed to do any defense work required. To Miss Lucy Clough this book is dedicated. Miss Catherine E. Castle, who taught us English but who now teaches fresh- men their Latin, has become an Air Raid Warden and the year book adviser all in one year. Miss Joan Tobin has been for many years our gym teacher. With much patience she awaits the attainment of her ambition to see D. H. S. girls the best poised in the world, with voices ever soft. gentle and low. Miss Mary Weeks teaches European history to freshmen and sopho- mores. This summer she plans to volunteer at the Report Center in Boston where she'll do her part for defense. Miss Florence E. Murdock, junior and senior English, will turn toward the soil come summer, but her victory garden will be of the flower variety. Mrs. Veronica O. Hazen, successor to Mr. Smith, teaches U. S. history. Her ambition, to be a good mother, per- haps accounts for her deep interest in her pupils. Miss Doris Grant, teacher of sophomore Eng- lish, confesses her ambition is to do the best she can. Let's hope everything she does turns out as well as The Flying Gerardos. Miss Olga von Schantz, sophomore and junior English teach- er-in private, Mrs. DeSalvo-devotes all her time and attention to finishing the house by June. Miss Laura J. Mclntire, instructor in typing and geography, is another member of our faculty who views the rubber shortage with discomfort and blames the war for curtailing her traveling yens. Third Row: Mr. Frank Kerwin, successor to Mr. LeGuern, prepared for his teaching ca- reer at B. U., where he obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Commercial Science. Mr. Joseph H. Ryan made history this year with the arrival, during February vacation, of a seven-pound heiress named Judy. His hobbies are knitting and read- ing Points for Parents. Mr. Thomas F. O'Donnell hopes to read of the men teachers of this school who have joined the colors following the hero of Bataan into Nippon-or seeing his son's name prominently mentioned in football write-ups. Mr. William Dunne, a newcomer to the faculty and an ardent sports enthusiast, tells us he hopes to retire at the age of fifty-five and devote his remaining years to the improvement of his golf. Mr. James Riley, science and chem- istry instructor, although already holder of his Master's degree, is delving still further into the study of chemistry. Mr. Eliot G. Hall's ambition is to train students to regard teachers as human beings and not as storage plants for pious platitudes and funny sayings to be delivered whenever the occasion requires. Mr. Hamilton F. Allen has been so busy fostering the Debat- ing Club, going to jail with his civics classes, and coaching the new tennis team, that he hasn't had time to think up a suitable ambition. Mr. John W. Wallace teaches junior and senior book- keeping, and ofiice appliances to seniors. As his ambition is to have the National Clerical Abil- ity Testees come out IOOW this year-here's wishing him success. Mr. Orlando Scafati, tall, dark, and handsome basketball coach, is seriously considering enlisting in the Army as a briga- dier-general: that is, if there ever happens to be a shortage of brigadier-generals. Mr. Thomas Yonker formerly had Hstic aspirations, that is, until his twins arrived about nine years ago and now, as you might imagine, devoting himself ntirely to his three children and to manag- ing the A. A. Mr. Nicholas DeSalvo, French teacher and hockey coach, after the completion of his new home. plans to start priming his team for a championship year. Mr. Fred Clark has complete charge of the art department in D. H. S. He has a secret ambition to raise a victory garden. The class owes him much for serving so generously as chairman of their advisers this year. Not included in the picture: Miss Harriette Hunting, who has taught cooking for fourteen years in D. H. S., still hopes some day to produce an excellent cook. Miss Mary E. Sulli- van, sewing teacher, attended the Boston School of Domestic Science and Simmons College. She has taught many of our girls the art of making their own wardrobes. Mr. Robert Gibb, direc- tor of the orchestra and band, hopes the concert will come when Koussevitski will keep his brass down, but we're happy that Mr. Gibb doesn't follow this principle in his own arrangement. 6 Seniors 10 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL ADELINE ANDERSON Adeline plans to work next year and to further her educa- tion by going to night school. Her ultimate goal. though. is to be an aviatrix. Set your heart on it. Adeline, and we know you'Il make it. JOSEPH ARTHUR ARABY. JR. Page Benny Goodmanl Shad- rack is our foremost swing ad- dict, with an ever-present long- ing for 'Beatin' the skinsf He'll keep D. H, S. laughing as a P. G.. but the Navy will take him soon after. ANNA JEANETTE BAKER Freckles' warm smile and cordial greeting would make a heart of stone melt. Her de- sire to work and enjoy life to the utmost makes her both a val- uable citizen and a welcome friend. RITA FRANCES BARTHEL Since Rita would like to be- come a typist we only hope she doesn't answer her employer with Oh, yeah! Let's hope that her wish of sometime hav- ing a roller skating party in- stead of a dance in D. H. S. comes true. PALMA ROSE BAVICCHI Hey. kids, turn on the radio: Pal's on! But until then Pal's going to Wheaton College where we're positive she'll make many friends. Don't forget to dedicate a song to your D. H. S. classmates when you're a famous singer. .IEANNE BELANGER Next year will probably see Jeanne holding a good position in a secretarial school, or-who knows?-a yeoman F in the United States Navy. Fast- talking Jeanne will miss the freedom of speech in the corri- dors, WILLIS GEORGE BELL Chug-chug. There goes Bell off in his super-model Chevro- letf Dedham High will miss his argumentative personality. but we are proud to say he will soon be joining the Army Air Corps. DOROTHY ELEANOR BERG Wonderful, we'll all ex- claim when Dotty writes that novel, just as we did when we contemplated her all A report cards and heard with admiration the answers to those questions no one else could remember. With her pleasing personality. Dotty will make a great success at Boston University. WALTER ROY BJORKMAN XVhitey has become a man who is nice to have around, es- pecially durinq hard exams. We know that whether he becomes a lawyer or a parachute jumper he will be one of the best. MIRIAM HAZEL BLAKNEY UNO kidding. Hazel really will make an ideal secretary. We know her versatility will enable her to find time for hockey games as well as flying lessons. Happy landings, Hazel! REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL ll MORTON ELIOT BLUMENTHAL The New England Institute of Embalming is Mortie's next stop. Gruesome, what? is Mortie's opinion. Whether he will be a mortician or a suc- cessor to Claude Thornhill. he will certainly have a fascinating future. MARJORIE MADALINE BOND A big smile for everybody and a sense of humor that makes any room she is in seem sunny, will take Margie far up the lad- der of success towards her aim, to be a nurse. JAMES H. BOTAISH In time to come we shall probably refer to Bo as the pride of Oak Street. To become a flying business man is his ambi- tion. Watch out for the in' famous vicissitudes of our New England weather in the strato- sphere. Jim. DAVID GALE BRAATEN When Shrimo gets to Har- vard he won't be lost in the crowd. because if he draws car- toons for the Lampoon like those for the Mirror. he'll stand above the throngs. When he runs for President in 1952. we're sure he'll succeed, just as he suc- ceeded in high school in what- ever he undertook. FREDRICK CHARLES BRADBURY You ain't lyin', Brad. about your attraction to the ladies. He wants to be a track coach, and plans to enter college next year. Football and study periods also intrigue him. CHARLES ROBERT BROXVN Hi-ya, hlondief Here's to bef ing a great navigator. Hope it's as exciting as Mr. Ryan's class. We are sure your problems will be solved by dead reasoning. LLEWISLLYN AUSTIN BROWN VVhat ya say, Buck, will you be slinging ink or throwing bombs next year? Here's hoping you can End a good job so you can buy plenty of Defense Bonds. RICHARD JAMES BROWNE Shadu spends most of his time making model airplanes when he isn't working in the First Na- tional Stores. He plans to join the Army or Navy Air Corps next year. NORMAN FOSSETT BRUNT Shrimp's favorite pastimes are woodwork and boats. His quiet manner and favorite expression, what do you know? should help him at Wentworth next year. JOHN FRANCIS BULMAN Don't be scrimeyf' says Long John, alias Dan'l Boone. Jr., as he slogs through the Manor trapping everything in sight, Anvil is usually heard say- ing mournfully. I ain't got no English done! iz g g REELECTIONS OF DEDHAM Hionfgnoopgg gg ALICE MAY BURKE Allie will probably settle down some day to work for her father as .1 bookkeeper.

She likes assemblies. study periods in 208. and bowling. GILDA RUTH CAMPOS Jill. as she is known to many of her friends. plans to attend Burdett College. We know that if she keeps up her good work in bookkeeping she will be a suc- cessful bookkeeper. She likes proms. plays. and collecting pic- tures. FRANCES L. CANNATA Frannie's infectious giggle and hearty laughter will ring through D. H. S. corridors even when she's high in the air as an avia- trix. The New England Air- craft School will gain one of our prettiest girls. ROBERT VINCENT CANNING When you hear. How're you doin'? that's Bandy.

At last it has come-the stepping-stone of our adult careers. Many long years have we lived and learned, and this is the brilliant climax of it all. This is our commencement-the end of one life and the beginning of the new. After tonight, we. the Class of 1942, shall go forth into the strange, cruel world, so full of pitfalls and temptations to snare the unwary, even those as well-warned. as carefully prepared as we. What we shall accomplish with- out the ever-present help and guidance lnot to mention the constant proddingj of our teachers, time alone will tell. In our words and deeds we must prove or disprove the worth of our public educational system. Just what have we been doing all these years at the great expense of the town, and thus in turn at the great expense of the taxpayers? In what sort of venture have you, parents, been investing your valuable time and hard-earned money? Will our school training pay any dividends to society? .lust what is in the youth of today, anyhow? These are the questions you have come tonight to have answered, as we leave our high school careers behind us. After all our years of faithful study. we are to show you now what we have done, and what we shall do, with this foundation. We. the so-called honor students, have been chosen as a sort of composite valedictorian to speak for the class-we shall endeavor to tell you how we have been taught to think. This. presumably, is the time to reveal how much we have learned, and how we shall plan to use this vast knowledge. Here we have been studying a vast range of subjects, from Latin and French to mathematics and science. from music and art to the practical skills of S Mg REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOI, 43 the business world. We have all been exposed to the best in literature, and have all studied the history of our country and the ancient world, so we shall have the experience of the ages to guide us on our dim and doubtful journey through life. Naturally, we are brimful of ideas, original and otherwise, and we over- flow with confidence and youthful idealism. You may possibly think it old- fashioned to have ideas nowadays, but if we are to inherit the earth and be its hope and salvation, must we not have ideas about how we shall run it? Cer- tainly, and we have. But it is not my intention to expatiate on any of these idealistic theories of life and peace and culture-nay, I leave that to minds and tongues far abler than mine, and I can only advise you to listen closely, and heed well the thoughts expressed by those who will now follow me. THE POWER OE EDUCATION MARGARET OHMAN In these days of upheaval, when all previous assumptions are being ques- tioned and required to justify themselves, have you been asking, A'What is the importance of education? My answer is that education in the world today may mean the difference between endless struggle or perpetual peace: between the defeat of the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or their victory: between a world ruled by dictators or a world ruled by the people themselves. Fearing its influence, dictators suppress education. Oh, yes. there are schools: nevertheless, there is no real education, whose true essence surely is teaching people to think intelligently and to form valid opinions. The educa- tion in these totalitarian schools is militaristic, with a mere pretense of a well- balanced course of study. Only those subjects which the dictator knows will make the students live and die unquestioningly for the State are taught. Facts are often shamelessly withheld, falsified, and exaggerated, and opposing ideas are ridiculed or completely suppressed. Real education is not tolerated because of the fear that it might undermine the government. That is why. in setting up a dictatorship, the leaders strike first at the schools. A false education is not the only danger to society. Lack of education is likewise bad. Propaganda affects most strongly the uneducated, those who do not think intelligently. When such people read propaganda, hear demoralizing rumors, or listen to irresponsible and disloyal speakers, they become uneasy and obstructive, for they do not realize the purpose behind that propaganda: they have no means of checking the statements, no experience in detecting absurdities and contradictions. The uneducated are easily swayed by appeals to emotion and prejudice. Their judgment is superficial, and they are likely to support un- desirable leaders and vote for bad men. Besides advancing the best interests of the group, education enriches the individual. It can open the door of success by training for a chosen career and reveal that free choice is possible in a democratic land. Moreover, one of the greatest values of education is that it enables a person to appreciate what is precious and beautiful in the world. Our government was planned and launched by educated men-men such as Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence: Alexander Hamilton, who organized the nation's finances: Patrick Henry, the great states- man and orator: and George Washington. the greatest American leader of all time. These were the men who had the ability and initiative necessary to form a new government. We know it today as democracy. That democracy is now threatened. However, we, the Youth of America, have been educated: we know we must strive with all our knowledge, under- standing, and skill to uphold and defend that ideal of democracy-the United States of America. In the years that are ahead the power of true education shall be made manifest. 44 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL THE WILL TO SUCCEED DOROTHY BERG Each one of us has been taught since early childhood to do only what is right. Many times we have struggled to choose the correct course and not the easy, to curb desire with will. These decisions, however, can be less difficult ones provided two attitudes become rooted within the individual. One is an unwavering belief that from worthy deeds are born the fruits of success. Any- one who through cruelty or greed gains his object has not succeeded, for his ef- forts have driven him out of the company of the great and good. He will live in fear, suspicion, hatred. The second of these attitudes is a glowing deter- mination to attain the fruits of a life of service, courage, and accomplishment. Without will to succeed, the most perfect body or the most highly de- veloped mind will fail to produce its greatest possible measure of personal suc- cess. These alone will not raise the individual above the level of others less gifted. One may possess a potentially perfect voice, yet it will go for naught if the consuming desire to train and develop this talent is lacking. One may be endowed with a keen intellect, but unless this is supplemented by the determina- tion to exercise it, the gift has been in vain. Will is the key to unlock dormant strength and set it into action. Although success is obviously of profound importance to the individual, it is of greater importance to the race. Indeed, is not history a record of those who have willed, a procession of personalities who have decided man's course by their own determinations, noble or ignoble? ln the words of Carlyle, Uni- versal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here. Unfortunately all great men have not been good men. Power-mad in- dividuals have directed their wills toward gaining for themselves, not toward working justice and benefiting others. They have robbed the world of happi- ness and peace: their misdirected wills have caused more harm than all wise and beneficent wills could produce good. The grandeur of Greece was crumbled by Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great, who kept their subjects supine, preventing cultural development. Catherine of Russia in her imperial zeal at- tacked nations and forced millions under unwise rule. Napoleon, the tower- ing figure in European history, is outstanding as one who in seeking to rule the world slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his fellow-men. By such as these man's progress has been retarded, even degraded. We who are to inherit the responsibilities of the world should be wary of repeating this crime against mankind, for our wills are to fashion history in days to come. New characters will join the procession-characters whose Wills are to direct the reconstruction of a world chaotic from struggle. Economic, territorial, and racial adjustments must be made. Ours will be the task of cre- ating order out of confusion, glory out of dust. Nothing, therefore, is more vital than for each of us to cultivate the will to live a successful life, a life that shall increase and secure the advancement of mankind. WHY STUDY HISTORY? ELAINE MACEARLANE The person who considers history a conglomeration of treaties, dull ac- counts of battles, and snobbish eulogies on the heroes of the past deserves your pity. Because he has failed to grasp the significance of this vital subject, he thinks the study of history is4 Bunk ! Fortunately modern educators are rapidly erasing this shallow idea of his- tory, as so many dates and dynasties to be learned. Now, as taught in second- -Fw ggRIjFLECTIgQNSggOF D501-IAM HIGH sci-tool, p45 ary schools, this is a study of the past as the story of a nation's growth, its crises. and how these were met. Thus understanding the causes of past prog- ress and recessions in a nation's career. we comprehend more clearly the world we are living in. Indeed such a realization is necessary to insure victory, or even self-preservation today. For it is those fatuous souls to whom history is a closed or forbidding book, conscious only of transient contemporary conditions, oblivious of their causes, who are inclined to join radical groups that sow discord and disunity: who force foolish measures and dangerous laws: who ruthlessly criticize officials and leaders perhaps doomed to failure by the previous machinations of the de- tractors themselves who are actuated by apparent immediate personal advan- tage, undirected by the basic laws and ideals whose validity the course of his- tory reveals. Nor is lack of foresight and reflection found entirely on the outside of the office door. Far too many in our land have pushed their way to position and power ignorant of the basic principles of government and society. We see the tragic results in the ghastly bungling of national problems arising from infla- tion, depression-and finally war, and the international problems arising from the hatred, greed, and colossal vainglory exhibited by some peoples coincident with the indifference, over-confidence, and passive devotion to comfort and security on the part of others. Furthermore one need not be an unscrupulous public servant to betray one's fellow citizen. With the highest social and patriotic ideals men have still made mistakes the results of which will last for a thousand years, and doom millions to desolation. They simply didn't know, they didn't understand, they hadn't studied history. Learning from that great volume the reasons for present circumstances, we, being Youth, aware that our part in the drama of the ages will not appear upon the stage until the next act, look to the future. We shall try to avoid the mis- takes of the previous and the present generations. We ask ourselves, What can we do to improve the standards of government and society? By a more specific study of the great actors of earlier plays, imaginatively fitting their lives into the background of the present day, the answers to many of our unsolved social and political problems are revealed. If we but accept these leaders as teachers of the unchanging moral laws, and try to emulate in thought and action their stronger and nobler principles and ideals. the conclu- sion to our act need not be tragic. Thus has history provided us a worthy ambition and a prompt book which inspires confidence in our ability to understand and play a significant role as the Youth of our nation. WHY STUDY LANGUAGES? HELEN FIOLA Perhaps you wonder whether. in this day and age, with so many vital is- sues claiming attention, it is worth the student's while to study languages as preparation for his future life. But the very fact that he is preparing for his future life justifies such study. The youth must have a background, construc- tive, broadening, illuminating. What study can give greater knowledge of the history and culture of ancient peoples than those languages. Latin and Greek, spoken centuries ago by learned men and since studied and taught by the monks of the Middle Ages, by the scholars of the Renaissance, by the professors of modern times? These lan- guages preserve some of the greatest literature the world has known, which REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL writers have ever since referred to and emulated. Many passages in lVlilton's Paradise Los! were directly inspired by Vergil's I-leneid, written in 29 B. C. Allusions to this same Aeneid and to Ovid, Horace, and Homer abound in the immortal works of Keats, Shelley, and Tennyson. Essayist Matthew Arnold copied the simple, stately Greek pattern, and John Lyly adapted from the Latin the balanced phrase and the elaborate simile. Moreover, through the living languages of French, Italian, German, and Spanish the student will acquire not just a grammar of rules and conjugations, nor a dictionary of words and meanings, but self-confidence, or poise. What satisfaction to translate quoted passages so often found in books and so not lose the thought! Serious misunderstanding caused by the ignorance of a language can frequently be dissolved by one who can act as an interpreter. There is a sense of security in the ability to rise to all occasions, especially enjoyed when traveling abroad for pleasure or business. A more important addition to the student's character, which he will re- tain and use all through life, will be self-control. Studying languages is tedious and requires perseverence to master the basic rules and nagging peculiari- ties. When the pupil has learned to persist to the end, he will have gained that fundamental quality of self-control. Furthermore, being able to read these languages broadens the understanding of human nature by revealing, through the literatures of other people, their pat- tern of thought on justice, on war, on social and cultural standards. One will be able to judge fairly accurately the general character of these peoples and under- stand their viewpoints, although he may not agree. This will prevent insularity and prejudice. Even more important. perhaps, it will prevent an undiscriminat- ing tolerance based on the easy assumption that after all everyone else holds just about the same attitudes as he. Perhaps if more of us had realized the ideals of our present enemies we might have been able to anticipate their schemes and purposes in time. The whole history of mankind might have been changed if every Frenchman, every Englishman, and every American had read Hitler's Mein Kczmpf in the original six years ago. And when the world has again found peace. we might through knowledge of national character and aspiration adjust the political and economic pattern with due allowance for those traits, and thus make possible a truer and more enduring peace than the world has yet known. WHY STUDY AT ALL? ISABEL KERR The answers to this oft-repeated question, Why Study? vary with the standards of the individual. To me it seems as I ponder the subject that there are at least four positive and important values: improvement of material posi- tion, development of the mind, enrichment of the Nation, and betterment of mankind. Most people study to improve their position in society. The door to many a chosen field is closed until the aspirant has mastered a preliminary course: continued study makes a more efficient and alert individual, who will be marked for advancement. The salesman, the teacher, the journalist, and the business man-all benefit professionally by courses both inside and outside their particular fields. In social contacts a person who can draw on a widely diversi- fied fund of knowledge is most sought after. Learning stores the mind with treasures: study trains it in the art of con- centration and clear, deep thinking. The ability to use the accumulated knowl- edge in the clear verbal transmission of thoughts makes possible the joy of self- REFLlEC'I'lOlNIS off Diipi-iriivigfiigcsugscgijoogi. 47 expression. We derive endless pleasure and deep satisfaction from a well- stocked and well-trained mind: life can never be dull if we have provided for ourselves a broad foundation of learning and culture. Beyond these considera- tions there is also character growth from intellectual activity. The truly edu- cated man is able to judge his own tendencies and abilities as well as those of others, to winnow the chaff from the wheat. and to discriminate between the better and the best in literature and the arts, vocations and avocations, measures and men. In addition to the personal advantages resulting from study, the qualities formed can also produce a better citizen. By sharing knowledge and useful skills one may not only benefit individuals but the community as a whole. A thorough education enables one to choose the man best fitted to conduct the government in the interest of all and to bring about improvements in public welfare. Trained minds constitute the yeast in the dough of democracy, mak- ing its standards rise. The higher aspects of true citizenship are manifested in social, economic, and political reforms. What would America have been with- out such educated men as William Lloyd Garrison, Jane Addams, Frances B. Willard, and Booker T. Washington? In Lincoln we find the supreme ex- ample of the self-educated man: through persevering study he attained to a place that made possible for him the freeing of a tenth of our people from slavery, the preservation of the nation, and the planting of the ideals of national, not sectional, politics and patriotism. It is reserved for the highest in each profession or field of endeavor to have the joy of contributing toward the betterment of all mankind. The medical and nursing professions improve the world's health: the scientists, the World's comfort: and the artists, musicians, and literary men, the worlds culture. Har- vey and Nightingale, Reed and Pasteur, Beethoven and Strauss, Rembrandt and Michael Angelo, Shakespeare and Longfellow only attained the pinnacle through prolonged, extensive, and intensive study. Whether we reach the highest or succeed only in the first step, we cannot doubt that the justification for study is overwhelming. AMERICA-LAND OF LIBERTY ANGELINA ODoARDi Of course, you are well aware that we are fortunate to be Americans, but have you stopped to analyze why it is a privilege? Primarily, because liberty, our fundamental principle, permits the many opportunities that prevail in this great nation. In its cause, many of our ancestors suffered and gave their lives, determined to establish freedom for their countrymen and their posterity. Their chief concern was to preserve the United States from internal dictatorship and foreign oppression, Liberty as the basic principle of American Democracy is acknowledged in the United States Constitution, drawn up by a number of the ardent leaders of that revolutionary period which ensured American liberty. This Constitution provides that no specific religion shall be required to qualify for public office or any other advancement. The Constitution also guarantees liberty of press, speech, and freedom of assembly-privileges which are far from being enjoyed in all other countries, due to the greed of unscrupulous dictators who stop at nothing to satisfy their selfish ambitions and to conquer the world. Beware of the idea that liberty has been gained once and for all-liberty, like any other good thing, may be lost, stolen, or destroyed. Even in America the time might come when it would be known simply as a phase in our past history. Many things might prevent the permanent survival of liberty. Among 48 REELECTIONS OE DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL them, the most obvious. perhaps. is internal dictatorship. A president, serving term after term, might thus gain full control of the country, and dictatorship would ensue. An organization gradually gaining control of legislation might also destroy our liberty. There is the danger of people becoming indifferent and shortsightedly self-indulgent. thus permitting the ignorant, the self-seeking, and the criminal to fill the public offices. Such a condition of inefficiency and graft would vitiate the true liberty of opportunity which we pride ourselves on possessing. There is even the possibility of a victorious enemy putting us in chains. Do you think That Can't Happen Here ? So probably thought the French. the Dutch, and the Poles in 1938. For liberty to be permanently en- sured in the United States, each generation must fight against the new threats of tyranny that arise. It is our responsibility to be prepared and to destroy those enemy forces constantly working to undermine our long-loved liberty. A tremendous task lies before us, and it can be accomplished only by the labors of each and every citizen, Our boys in the services-on land, sea, and air-are doing their utmost to protect our great nation. Surely the ones back home are giving their heartiest support. All must be striving toward one goal- victory-to maintain liberty in America. That light must never be allowed to die, for who knows how many centuries might elapse before it could be re- kindled? But need I say more about liberty-to Americans? All that I could say is comprised in an inspiring song that should be more frequently heard: My country 'tis of thee-sweet land of liberty-of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died-land of the pilgrim's pride-from every mountain side -let freedom ring. BUSINESS AND THE WAR ELIZABETH FREIER America is indeed the land of opportunity. A country which can boast of having freedom-freedom of speech, freedom of religion. freedom of press. freedom of enterprise: but now that we are in the midst of another disastrous world conflict, how is business meeting the challenge-how is it using the free- dom that it is so fortunate to have? No other country in the world gives as much liberty to its great industrial plants and ammunition factories as does America, and with the possession of power and the right to organize and manage one's own business, automatically goes responsibility. In foreign countries men produce goods because a dictator commands it: therefore business can benefit only insofar as its master graciously permits and only by the methods that he recognizes. In America, business can manage its own affairs, it can institute any experiments, startling innovations, new enterprises, unlimited expansion, because it is unhampered by minute regu- lations and oppressive government restrictions. The challenge to learn by its own mistakes. to work out better systems of organization in order to enjoy the profits of success-this has been a constant stimulation to our business groups. Business is a major determining factor in the outcome of this war. With- out it we cannot take the offensive nor can we even successfully hold the defen- sive. Of course, by and large different types of business have cooperated and made it known that they are going all out for defense: but unfortunately such serious charges have been able to be brought against certain companies that there is reason for alarm that victory may be delayed and weakened. Since the war started facts have been revealed showing that a business firm has sold defense articles to the government at double the cost of produc- tion. Another company preferred to give its employees very large bonuses Wig gg REtfgti3c'1'1qsgoF DEDI-IAM H1QngscHoo1. io rather than return excess profits. At such trying times, business should forget its lust for large profits, cease trying to buy the loyalty of employees with money. and concentrate wholeheartedly toward a glorious victory. Admittedly, after this war as after every other war will come a depression. and we must all expect to face it together and take up that problem when it arises. No individual, group, or class can hope to escape, nor deserves to es- cape the common lot. We cannot waste energy now trying to protect ourselves from inevitable hardship. To do so. might mean defeat and a fate infinitely worse than any mere business depression: therefore. our only concern at present should be concentrated war effort. Business must not calculate on large profits to bridge the crevasse ahead, nor must it hesitate to install new machines and enlarge plants because the demand will cease after the war. Its only goal-the goal of us all-must be a decisive Allied victory. All America must work so that she may offer a hope to mankind, to down- trodden people the promise of a new world of freedom, peace, and humanity for all. WHAT JOHN Q. PUBLIC CAN DO I-IILDEGARD VoLKMANN There are countless ways in which Mr, John Q. Public and family can help in this war, but I shall stress particularly four, in which each one may do his share. Broadly speaking. they are by conservation, caution, courage, and cooperation. First, everyone should conserve wherever possible. It is no longer novel to hear of conserving automobile tires, metals, machinery of various sorts, and paper. In spite of this, recently I saw a carload of young people speed by in an open-top convertible singing The Star Spangled Banner at the top of their lungs. No doubt they were trying to appear patriotic, but such a display is very far from true patriotism. Knowing that tires will not be available, people should strictly limit their pleasure trips. Moreover, they should conserve on any item which may have become scarce, regardless of inconvenience or even hardship. During the last war postmarks read, Food Will Win the War, Don't Waste It. This slogan is pertinent to the present strife, but should be con- sidered in a much broader sense in order to meet the far greater crisis of today. Because we, the people of America, have always had plenty, we have become very wasteful. Now we must practice an economy never thought possible by this generation. Another necessary contribution is caution, particularly in those entrusted with confidential information or accidentally possessed of military secrets. There are many posters in prominent places which graphically show what careless talk can do. Loose Talk Can Cost Lives, is the legend under one of them. An- other side of this is refusal to spread rumors. They are usually false or exag- gerated and can disrupt war effort or even cause panic among the civilian popu- lation. Often a silent tongue can mean the safety of thousands of people: it may even save a battle, an army, or a nation. The third factor of major importance is courage. Greater courage is de- manded in the present than ever before in our lives. Property is in constant danger of being damaged or destroyed. Civilian life is disrupted to an extent never contemplated in the last war. This, however. is not too severe a price in View of the destruction of all freedom that will befall if we fail the ordeal. The men in service, fighting on foreign soil. set an example of superb courage despite bombs, disease. hunger. and death. 50 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Last. but not the least important, is cooperation. When asked to help in some defense activity after working hours, do not refuse. Every bit of time you can spare for such work will count. Obey all regulations regardless of in- convenience. The inconvenience you suffer now will be rewarded later by vic- tories. Perhaps you do not see the reason for some vexatious ruling. Never mind. The war would be lost in less time than it would take to explain to everyone. The lack of cooperation by one person can cause the disobedience of rules by many other wavering citizens, thus leading to disaster. Therefore. it is everyone's duty to do what little is asked of him. Remember the four c's, conservation, caution. courage, and cooperation, that will lead to victory. LITTLE THINGS COUNT JANE PETTINGELL Today, we of the graduating class, you our parents, you our teachers, you other young people, yes, and you our younger brothers and sisters-all have something to do, whether it is buying a War Savings Bond, knitting for the Red Cross, learning first aid, or salvaging paper and metal for our war industry. Probably most of you are already Working in a canteen, making garments for refugees, and buying a War Savings Stamp weekly, but not one of us is doing all he can. We are not using every minute to its fullest extent, nor giv- ing up those self-indulgent ice-cream sodas and movies in order to buy more stamps. nor discontinuing our bridge clubs and those other social activities which may be justified in peace-time but certainly contribute not one whit toward win- ning the war. We are not, yet-but we should, and we must. It is the great military and naval victories, the vast sums of money spent, and the lists of the dead and wounded that will be recorded for future genera- tions to read. Yet the war cannot be won by this money and these men alone. Every cup of coffee served to a defense worker is needed. every mile driven in an ambulance is needed, and every helmet taken off the knitting needles is needed to win. You who do these little things without urging, without thanks. will receive only the reward of personal satisfaction that you have had a share in bringing us that much nearer our goal-liberty and peace. At times when the work seems hard and exhausting. reflect on the fate of a conquered Hollander or a conquered Frenchman: his life is hard and exhausting, under the tyranny of the conqueror-your life will be like that if America is conquered. Moreover, remember that our boys, who fight so fearlessly in the Pacific and on the soil of the United States, set no limit on their effort and sacrifice and expect no in- dividual gain or credit thereby. If they did otherwise, you would not be at- tending a graduation exercise tonight. Of course, you cannot stop an enemy tank with a roll of bills or a roll of bandages, but whether the tank will move on or whether the soldier will recover to fight again is within your power to determine. Are you buying as many War Savings Stamps as you really can? Are you spending every possible mo- ment perfecting your skill to guard life and property in case of attack? Are you sure there is not a need for you in the local defense office? Are you prepar- ing to help someone else by learning intelligent first aid? It is your duty to do your share-and your share is not limited-it is total effort. To be sure. your total effort will be infinitesimal alone, for We are only little people. Yet each little thing each one does to help multiplied by one hundred and thirty million shares will become great things, victory and freedom-if you do all you can. REFLIECQJONS OF peogigyi HIGHQQHOOL gg 51 The History of a Remarkable Class JANE PETTINGELL and MARGARET QHMAN At 8:15 on the morning of Wednesday, September 14. 1938, we the class of 1942, arrived in the world. Bewildered and confused with all the amused upper classmen and baffling corridors, three hundred thirty of us timidly began our high school career. ln our ignorance we thought that no other entering class could ever have felt so perplexed as we. Since then we have learned that we were neither the first class nor the last to be so baflled upon entering high school. After the novelty had worn off. we went to the polls to vote for the iirst time, electing Fred Podolski as president, Bob Davidson as vice president, Mary O'Neil as secretary. and Ruth Ogg as treasurer. Besides the elections we had our social events, Remember the Corrigan Hop, where we were supposed to do everything backwards? Our scholastic achievements during the first year were noteworthy. Bar- bara Meltzer was winner of the freshman class spelling contest. Josephine Phillips related the joys and sorrows of younger brothers and sisters on Christ- mas morn. and as a result won our annual essay contest. Having successfully completed one year of high school, we began our soph- omore year somewhat more conlidently. ln our sophomore elections Podolski, Davidson, and Ruth Ogg were re.-elected. ln addition, there was a newcomer. Cieorge Cmaetani, who held the oflice of secretary for two years. When the two annual contests were held, Barbara Meltzer again won the spelling contest, and Dedham High was proud to hear her spell in the finals in Boston. Ralph Her- sey, who won the essay COHIGSI, told us that spilling a can of paint is the easiest and most satisfactory 1 fl way to paint the playroom floor. For two years we had been looking forward to the highlight of our junior year-the Junior Prom. Under the guidance of our executives-Fred Podol- ski, president: Robert Davidson. Vice president: George Ciaetani, secretary: and Robert McDonough, treasurer, the committees launched a very successful Prom. which was held on May 17. On that evening the gym took the appearance of a liner headed for the Riviera, and the guests danced as gaily as if they were at a captain's ball. Another highlight of our third year was the winning by David Braaten of the eleventh grade suburban championship in the Boston Herald Spelling Con- test. The cup which he won is a shining addition to our trophy case. The essay contest was won by Muriel Ouellette, who left no doubt how completely her heart is with the B. C. football team. By the time we entered our last year, we retained no resemblance to the be- wildered freshmen we had been three years before, but were confident. experi- enced seniors. When our elections were held, Janet Northrop broke up the previous male monopoly by being elected secretary. Student Council members from the senior class were Janet Northrop, Fred Podolski, George White. Hazel Blakney, and Bob Davidson. The Student Council provided us with many fine assemblies. among which were technicolor motion pictures on aviation and Mr. John Hines' reading of Dickens' Christmas Carol. In our senior year some important changes took place in the school routine. We were dismissed at two o'clock instead of at one-fifteen. and we were given an extra study period, known as period X. The latter was well received, but we can't say the same for the long school dayl For the first time air raid drills were held. Under the efficient instruction of Mr. Heaphy and Mr. Nagle a junior air raid warden class for boys was organized, which took part in the town's air raid test. The draft-and it was quite a stormf-took three of our 52 REFLEQILQQ or QEQHAM HIGH SCHOOL most popular and good-looking teachers. Joseph Green, Thomas LeGuern, and James Smith. How all the girls weptl We are glad that we had been taught by such fine teachers before they left to join Uncle Sam. The school, too. helped our country, for during the Hrst month of War Saving Stamps sales. more than two hundred dollars was turned over to the United States Treasury. Senior purchases made up a good share of the sum. Miss Mclntire organized a Red Cross group which put its efforts into knitting sweaters and afghans. This year our two most noteworthy events were the Senior Prom and the Senior Play. ln keeping with the times a patriotic motif was carried out in the decorations of the prom, and a few uniformed guests added a military air to the party. As for the play. how can we ever forget Mary Lou Leary as Mama Gerardo, Mary Ellison as Donna, and Edward Winbourne as William in the riotous comedy, The Flying Gerardos. Each member of the cast seemed to be acting a part designed especially for him. Margaret Ohman was our champion speller this year: but when she left school to fill a position in business, David Braaten took her place, and did us great honor by qualifying once again for the final contest. The difficulties of getting a man for the Prom was the tale of woe set forth by Pauline Keane in her winning assembly essay. We were both sur- prised and impressed by Ered Podolski's winning serious essay on whether a boy should join the army, go to work. or go to college. He discussed a subject that has been very much thought about of late. Our class produced a very creditable number of honor graduates-nine girls and a boy, ln numbers we exceeded-and in proportions equalled-the aver- age of previous classes. Not to slight our athletic ability. we make note of our team captains. among whom were George Gaetani in football, Fred Podolski in basketball, Bob Davidson in hockey, Joe Tate in track, and-if we had had a diamond on which ro play-Bob McDonough in baseball. Dedham was a close contender for the Eastern Massachusetts League championship, losing it to Wakefield. Our foot- ball season culminated in the defeat of our traditional rival, Norwood, with the record-breaking score of 27-0. With high hopes for future tournament cham- pionships. Mr. Allen organized tennis teams this year. Spring practice began as soon as the ice melted from the combination hockey rink and tennis court. Much of our enthusiasm for athletics can be traced to the remarkable sports page in the Mirror. Our class contributed many capable staff members to the school paper: David Braaten as editor-in-chief, Elaine MacFarlane as news edi- tor, Hazel Blakney as columnist, and Anthony DeEalco as sports editor. We are certain that little Judy Ryan's first primer will not be Mother Goose, but rather a bound volume of Mirrors. We wonder if she'll recognize Daddy in Braaten's clever cartoon showing him pacing the fioor. Of one thing we are very proud-to be the first class to graduate under our new superintendent, Dr. Calvin E. Wilcox, whose timely and practical advice on conservation we trust will be followed by all. ln this history we have tried to show underclassmen the fun and the worth while experiences we have known at Dedham High School as a result of being members of the Class of l94Z. The social events, the elections, and the con- test have done much to make our school days memorable. On June 12, our class will graduate. We hope in future years that the members of the Class of l94Z. though separated, will carry on with the same efficiency and spirit as we have shown during our four years in Dedham High School. REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 53 A Will for the Class of l942 ELIZABETH FREIER and ELAINE lVlACFARLAN1i We, the graduates of the year 1942 of the high school at Dedham, in the county of Norfolk, State of Massachusetts, realizing this to be the last day of our existence as a class together, being as sane as can be expected, and having a vivid memory of the previous four years, do hereby make, ordain, and issue this paper to be our last will and testament and revoke all other wills of ours here- tofore made.

Flossie Howard's giggling we bequeath to candy girl Elsa Blom, and Snuffy Mastandrea's cackle to any poultry farm that needs sound effects. We find it lawful to will the friendship of Patricia Montague and Fred McNally to Mud Dean and Baldy Weidman. Morton Blumenthal's do re mi's on the piano are bequeathed to Rita Lessard, and Janet McDonough's dra- matic personality to Phyllis Porter. We leave Ruth Ogg's arguments to Dan Walsh. and Allan Maier's oratorical ability to Bob Mitchell. Naturally Bob Mace's place as class screwball is ceded to Jim Currie. We do further will and bequeath to Dot Bridgham, Mary Ellison's danc- ing feet, and to Gene Borosavage, George Gaetani's dancehall flip. Norman Sliver Willis' irresistible way with the girls is left to Ferris Bavicchi: Louise Doyle's Pan-Americanism is left to Laura Mitchell: Ruth Ogg's flirtations to Martha Bernier, and to Barbara Poblenz the wish that she will enjoy Frannie Cannata's little red date book. To aid National Defense, we leave all the senior girls' lipstick to the army camouflage squad. We do give and bequeath Freddie Podolski's tried and true reliability to Kenny Brooks: Dave Braaten's super-journalistic qualities to Josephine Foley, and Bob Canning's camera shots to Bob Enzmann. To Red Provost, who al- ready has one, we leave Eugene Emerson's science bug. As for Mary Lou Leary's joviality, we bequeath it to Rosemary Masciarelli. Pat Montague's diet we leave to no one-the sugar rationing will take care of excess weight. We will Agnes Masters' love letters to a Boston publishing house: to the Riverdale Playmakers, Chet Gillis' and Bill Hines' acting ability: to any willing juniors, the parties of Jack and Jim Murray. Jo Phillips' orig- inality is willed to Johnny Carr, and Jimmy Robertson's coffin canoe to Billy Lynch, who appreciates Riverdale more. We also give Jean McCarty's moth- eaten gym suit to the moths. With lapping chops we do give and bequeath to Mrs. McGuinness, Gussie Gustafson's choice pigeons to be barbecued and added to the school menu: also for the menu we suggest Joe Morrell's easy-cut hams. To Margaret Hart we bequeath her sister Jean's seat right in front of Mr. Allen in 108, although there she will be unable to carry on Marijane Hamilton's and Corlyse Hazard's prac- tice of nibbling during period X. To Red Drake we will John DeMartino's good humor: to Jackie Cosgrove, Mary O'Neil's vivacity and neatness: to Nancy Bishop. Betty Ann Donelan's pleasant smile. We do bequeath, in the interest of keeping up the morale, Jean Bellanger's and Hilde Volkmann's sailor friends to Claire Morrissey and Jackie Broad, supporters of Sailor's Haven. We further give and bequeath Walter Murphy's she interest to Dick Hanover. To next year's sales classes, we will the champion salesmanship of Doc Lundberg. To Joe Landquist is left Buddy Dunbar's Harvard haircut, and to John Randlov, William Djerf's dislike for girls.

The need being evident, we do give and bequeath a large bottle of perfume to offset John Glapp's jokes. On the other hand, we leave Ruth Motte's aloof- ness to June Pettingill: nor do we think that Roger Sweeney is incapable of dragging along next year at Jimmie Wilson's sleepy gait. To Millis we re- luctantly leave the Heustis twins, and to Chicago, Elsie Eklof. FOURTH: To the school we do give and bequeath the memory of our re- markable class for inspiration to future ones. We do will more air raid drills to begin during the boring periods and a bomb shelter for those living more than twenty minutes' walk from the school. We leave a dating bureau to be run by any enthusiastic upperclassmen and open to all lonely hearts, and a soda fountain to be constructed by Spike Lowe and jerked by Dick Hanover. We bequeath a baseball Held to be christened by a revenge on Norwood for last year's unusual setback, an even larger library, and the Mirror with no money problems and a blue ribbon award. We leave air conditioning in the gym for Friday night dances and modern moving pictures for some of next year's thirty-six assemblies. To the janitors we give and bequeath an electric lawn mower with a two- cylinder motor and a cushioned seat: to Mr. Hoefer, Fran Houston's popular mop and Bill Claffey's corn cob pipe. Further. for the janitors' benefit, we leave another class in our place not bound to hinder their work by blackboard scribbling and destruction of school property. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our thoughts and seal of authority as members of the graduating class in the presence of these l,l0O celebrities in the George F. Joyce auditorium this l62nd day in the year of our Lord 1942.

Secofnd row: Frederick Grant, Edward Winhourne, Robert Willis. lVhat Dedham Needs by Dorothy DeMers: Dotty thinks our social and recrea- tional interests are being neglected by the town of Dedham. Let's hope Dedham heeds some of her suggestions. Why not a Sports Center here, too? My Views on the War by Fred Grant: After the war is over, we can have no revenge or poetic justice in establishing peace: We must consider the human element in making the adjustments which will come. Reparations should be on a basis of liberty, equality, and fraternity. An Angel Came Through by Pauline Keane: Keana certainly has her troubles and they all started when she decided she wanted to go to the Senior Prom. After some exploring she got her man, the angel who came through. Waste Material by Walter Kohut: Therefore we should save all the scraps of cloth we get and either sell them for cash or give them to agencies which collect the different waste materials. Walter is not worrying about the trouser cuffs he won't have! Whz'ther Bound? by Fred Podolski: Yes, where are We going? I feel all of us who are able should help not only our country, but the civilized world, to preserve its very existence and after that its beliefs and ideals as well. The Trip of the Coffin by James Robertson: Jimmy had quite a dangerous trip exploring the Charles River in his leaky CoHin. We agree with him when he says that if he should attempt the Ohio and Mississippi, the coffin in which he would finish would not be a canoe.

Track ls WonderfuI.' by Edward Winbourne: After donning an old moth-eaten track suit for the first time, running around the track ive times, staggering back to the locker room exhausted, and being informed by Coach Peterson that this was just an easy workout, Eddie still thinks that track is wonder- ful.

The seniors, under the coaching of Miss Doris Grant and Mr. Joseph Ryan. presented a three-act comedy, The ffftfmt, Gemrdoes by Kenyon Nicholson and Charles Robinson. The play revolved around a troop of illiterate acrobats who insisted on be- ing called leapers. Mama Gerardo, played by Mary Lou Leary, was the one who held the troop together. Eddie Winbourne. who appeared as William Vvlentworth, was introduced as being all brains with nothing to support them, Eddie was at first interested only in educating the mind of a certain Mary Ellison who was Donna in the play, but later he became concerned with capturing and holding her heart. Doc Vermillion, a la Bill Claffey, attempted to prove to Ed that he was no match for Mary Ellison by pointing out his physical weaknesses. As this did not convince him. the Gerardo boys, namely Art, Jimmy Wilson: Chick, Jim Murray: and Ozzie. Tony DeEalco, took matters into their own hands and bounced him off a trapeze while the horrified Opal, played by Elaine Fuller: Pearl, Jerry Hamilton: and Eadie. Jo Phillips. trembled with fear at the thought of what Mama would do. Hassan, the dumb Greek. presented by Dick Sloan. provoked much laughter by his sporadic outbursts of Greek. In the last act, Mama and Doc dressed William in a clown's suit, and just as they hnished. in walked his snobbish Aunt Thucy, portrayed by Eran Can- nata, and his equally dignified physician, Doctor Jellico. played by Llewellyn Brown. They attempted to get William away from the acrobats, but he was determined to remain with them. The play ended with Mama asking forgive- ness of her dead husband for finally giving in and allowing William to become a Gerardo, REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 65 Closs Doy Ploy Pi' ', fwfr! l ' 12 'iva- 'AQ 1 '1 0 Y ' 7 J 9 of J' Z5 w Front rozv: Dorothy Green, Joseph Morrell.

The seniors presented The Florist Shop, a comedy in one act. as the Class Day play, under the direction of Mrs. Nicholas DeSalvo and Miss Elinor Connor, As a customer in the shop Dorothy Green appeared as Miss Wells, a shy, retiring soul who was, after an engagement of fifteen years, still looking for- ward to her wedding day. James Murray as Mr. Jackson, her liancay, who had been unable to take time from his business affairs to marry her, visited the shop in search of a rival for Miss Wells' affections, Josephine Phillips as Maude was the clerk who dripped with sympathy over other peoples mis- fortunes: it was she who played Cupid in Miss Wells' love affair. Naturally there was a tough oflice boy at the florist shop in the person of Joseph Morrell, whose bad luck it was to work for Slovsky, otherwise known as Chester Gillis, the not-too-generous owner of the shop. The production was extremely successful in spite of rationing and priorities. 06 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Mirror Stuff First row: Jost-ph Ai-airy, Anthony Delfzileog David Braaten, Editor: Mr, Joseph Ryan, Adviser: Walter Murphy, Scrum! row: Elaine MacFarlane-, liarhara Burke, Peggy Haskell, Hazel Blakney, Betty Ann Dnnvlzin.

Any fear of bankruptcy. or of lean, pictureless issues, was dispelled early in the year as over eight hundred subscribers gladly signed up for fifteen numbers of the Mirror. This enthusiastic reception was due largely to a widespread ad- vertising campaign, which promised endless quantities of free ice cream to the first room to attain IOGW enrollment. Room 2Ol won. and its pupils re- ceived their just deserts in a gay party in the cafeteria one X period. What those fifteen issues contained, in the way of news, photos, cartoons, and gossip, made many readers cry eagerly for more, caused still others to de- mand their 5O cents back, and is said to be the main reason George Degnim joined the Navy. At any rate. the Mirror kept on coming out nearly every other Vvlednesday in spite of war, blackouts, and the paper shortage. The staff pictured above is really a most remarkable collection of journalis- tic specimens. After two or three issues. many members forgot completely how to find their way into Room 109 on makeup days, thus leaving the work to be done by a loyal few. However. such as it was, here is 1942's Mirror staff: Editor, David Braaten wrote editorials, drew cartoons, wrote a column. and argued with Mr. Ryan: Mary Ellison performed faithfully the drudgery of proofreading: Dorothy Berg corrected the copy: Ruth Maggioni dug up the latest dirt for Thomas the Termiteuz Walter Murphy cornered all the ads for his sports page, and was recently appointed nature editor: Tony Deljalco. ably assisted by Joseph Araby, came through punctually and prolifically with sports news: Betty Ann Donelan was usually on hand to do makeup: the business end of the Mirror was taken care of by Alice Burke. Emma Mauna. Marion Littlefield, and their assistants: and of course the guiding genius of the whole affair was Mr. Joseph Ryan, who didn't even get a headline for the arrival of a baby daughter in February. Any others whose names appeared from time to time on the masthead were either enemy agents or printers mistakes.

At an early meeting the following oflicers were elected: president, Fred Podolski: vice president, George White: secretary, Rita Sergi: treasurer, Hazel Blakney: librarian, Janet Northrop: and chief traffic marshal, Robert Davidson. The other marshals, Whom Davidson appointed, were Robert McDonough.

The Dedham High School Student Council was represented at a convention at Milton by William Williams, Betty McNally. Anthony DeFalco, and Janet Northrop.

The membership consists of fifty-five boys who received instruction by Mr. Louis Lehner of the Fire Department in extinguishing and disposing of in- cendiary and demolition bombs. Mr. Peterson of the faculty gave a demonstra- tion of the uses of gases in Warfare and the chemical composition of bombs. A six-hour Iirst aid course was given under the able supervision of Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Nagle, particularly stressing treatment which might be needed during an air raid. The chief duties of junior wardens are to help in the evacuation of gram- mar schools by insisting that younger children continue on their way home and don't loiter in the streets. The junior wardens are also to be called upon dur- ing air raids to give assistance to air raid wardens in any possible manner, Whether it be in patrolling streets, running errands. carrying messages. or ex- tinguishing bombs. ?O REELECTIONS OE DEDHAM HlC1H SCHOOL Debating Club First rm:-5 Mary Lou Leary, Patricia lvlontague, Elaine- lVlaeI urlane.

The Debating Club enjoyed its first full year, promoting considerable in- terest in argumentation in the school. ln October when the club was barely started on its way. it joined the Art and Photography clubs in running a Three of Clubs Dance. This was one of the most successful dances ever run in the school and the S90 profit was split among the organizations. With part of its share the club purchased printed letterheads, and has served refreshments at special meetings. Pupils who attended three consecutive meetings of the club. who were nominated by two members. and who were voted upon favorably by two-thirds of those present, were made members. Under this plan the club's enrollment reached 25. The officers of the club are Elaine MacEarlane, president: Patricia Mon- tague. vice president: Palma Bavicchi, secretary: Mary Lou Leary, research chairman: Charlotte Rothfuchs, program manager. Seniors and juniors will remember the Boston University Debating Society who discussed the arguments for and against price control in assembly on Eeb- ruary ll. On February Z0 the club had its first interscholastic debate with Chelsea here. The topic was Resolved: That the countries of the Western hemisphere should enter into a permanent union. Representing Dedham on the affirmative side were Mary Jesson, John DeMartino. and Elaine MacEarlane. lt was a nonadecision debate, On March 13 a speaking contest was held to determine a team for the return Chelsea debate and the Belmont debate. By popular vote Jean Dono- van. Bernard Rothwell, Palma Bavicchi. and Elaine MacEarlane were chosen. The club has limited its number to those who enjoy debating, and with its many enthusiastic underclassmen members will strive earnestly next year for membership in the Massachusetts High School Speech Association.

The Dedham High School football team. with but five veterans, went through seven games of the 19-ll season winning six, losing one. and compiling a total of l l7 points to Z8 of the opposition. Due to the resurfacing of Stone Park the team had to play all its games away from home. Dedham opened its season under the lights with Malden Catholic, downing them 13 to O. North Quincy and Needham fell 18 to 3 and 12 to 6 respectively. Dedham also swamped Woburn to the count of Z7 to 12. Dedham ran up its string of consecutive victories to live. when it played Hudson under arc lights, ringing up a score of 20 to O. The Natick game scheduled for Saturday, November l. was postponed on account of rain, Since neither team had an open date. the game was finally cancelled. At this point Dedham was tied with Weymouth for second place in Class B. Dedham, having an old score to settle with Weymouth, made the game on November 8 one of the best games of the year. Dedham and Weymouth were tied for three periods without a score. Finally Dedham had to give in, due to the lack of reserve strength, losing 7 to O. In the annual Turkey Day classic Dedham gained revenge on Norwood by running up a record score of 27 to O, breaking the previous record of 25 points set by the 1937 team. Dedham scored its first touchdown with the game only 50 seconds old. Dedham kicked off to Norwood, and Foley fumbled on the six-yard line. The ball was recovered by Don Nay. Bobby Davidson then raced around end on the first play to score standing up. Bobby Davidson, Cap- tain Cieorge Gaetani, and Albert Aylward did all the scoring. Dedham High was honored in having their flashy left halfback, Bob David- son. and the great defensive end, Bob McDonough, selected for the Boston Post All-Scholastic football team.

The Dedham High School hockey team finished its sixth year in the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey League by winning five games, tying one, and losing one, to share a second place tie with Natick. Due to a new arrangement between the three greater Boston hockey leagues. Dedham took part in three out-of-league games with Needham, winning two to nothing, with Walpole, losing three to nothing. and defeating Quincy six to one. Wakefield, a newcomer but the eventual champion, bowed to Dedham by the score of two to nothing. Thus D. H. S. glided along smoothly. taking Lexf ington to an easy three to nothing trimming, and forcing Brookline to the score of five to two. January 24 brought Dedham face to face with the lf?-ll champs, Hud- son, Thrill-packed and unbelievable, the contest ended in a Hudson victory. the first game Dedham had ever lost to the Scarlet Flyers. The following week Dedham roared back from the almost humiliating de- feat and put Malden on the wrong end of a six to nothing score. A week later Dedham again showed its overwhelming superiority by trouncing Somerville five to one. The final conflict of the season on February l-i, brought Dedham to a high-riding but clever Natick six. A win would mean the championship for D. H. S., a tie but second place, and a loss. third place. Tension ran high as throngs from the competing towns cheered their favorite team. The work of goalie Joe Quinn was spectacular, and Natick was fortunate in holding Dedham to a scoreless tie, thus locking the two schools in second place. Dedham placed four men on the annual Eastern Massacliusetts AllaStar first team and four on the second team: Captain Bob Davidson. first string de- fense: Sam Houston, defense: Bill Jones and Bob McDonough. forwards: on the second team, Joe Quinn, goalie: Don Nay. defense: George Gaetani and Al Piyla ward, forwards.

The basketball team did not have a very successful season this year due to the fact that the team was composed mostly of sophomores. Captain Fred Podolski was the only veteran from last year's team. Dedham's only victory was over Needham, 30 to 25. In their Hrst Bay State League game Dedham lost to Milford 49 to 39. Because of the greater average height of the members of the Framingham team, Dedham lost 37 to 15 at Framingham. Dedham met in the gym on January 27 a highly praised Franklin quintet, to fall before them with the score of 29 to 13. The following Friday Dedham met their rival Norwood in what proved to be an exciting ball game all the way. Norwood edged out Dedham 40 to 38. ln the mind of Coach Scafati the team showed great improvement as the season went. on. The outlook of the team for next year looks brighter, as they lose only Fred Podolski. Other defeats for Dedham were Brookline 60 to 15, Milford 49 to 39, Framingham 37 to 15, Franklin 29 to 13, Norwood 40 to 38, Brookline 41 to 15, Needham 25 to 16, Franklin 72 to 37, and Norwood 44 to 33. -1-are-v -- REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIOH SCHOOL 81 Track Teom First row: James Murray, Francis Dunbar, Gregory Fulgriniti.

With Captain Joe Tate at the helm and Skipper Edwin Peterson on the bridge, Dedham's powerful track squad steamed over all its opponents this year, numbering among the victims Roslindale and Brookline. In the most exciting battle of the year, Dedham vs, Brookline, Brookline's field guns piled up an early lead in points, but then Dedham's big guns went into action with Claffey, McNally, Tate, Keelan, Olsen, Bradbury, Williams, Crawford, and Murray piling up points and clinching the meet: final score Dedham 41, Brookline 36. A week later Dedham again went into action and overpowered Roslindale 48 to 28. Dedham let loose its big guns once again when they entered the State Meet and emerged with l0l'j points for a good third place: third in the 300, Claffey: third in the 600, McNally: third in the Hurdles, Crawford: fourth in the high jump, Keelan. The relay team of Tate, Kern, Murray, and Claffey scored the final points for the team. Eight medals were brought home by the boys. Outstanding in the meet were Claffey, McNally, Keelan, and Crawford. The Northeastern meet at the Y. M. C. A. proved successful again for Dedham's relay team, and the boys received medals for their fast time. The team ended its indoor season by going to Bowdoin, Maine, where Tate, Keelan, Cotton, McNally, and Aylward competed. Although they re- ceived no points they all looked supreme in their events. The team enjoyed an even more successful outdoor season and with the ad- dition of Bobby Davidson. Albert Aylward, the team was much stronger. The relay team went after some records and they were fast enough to get them. 82 REFl.ECTl0NS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOQL Girls' Basketball Squcicl Q- n t ...- xr First ww: Alice Hussey.
