OUR WORLD By RITA O'LEAaY As we step forth into this troubled World, Filled to the brim with strife and grief and hate, With starving children, ravaged cities, men Cruelly broken in body and in mind, With hope and faith defeated utterly, The thought arises in our minds aghast Have we che key to this appalling riddle? Are our lives threatened now by second Hitlers Trying the very freedoms to suppress On which our independence first was based? Unless diictatorships and wars are stopped Democracy at home cannot survive, Unless suspicion, rivalry, and greed Among the nations all the world around Are superseded by good will and trust, We cannot hope for peace for any land, Unless the myth of race, supremacy, The scorn of others for their skin or faith, The bitterness of economic class- Unless all these are clriven from our midst, We cannot hope for progress here at home. These are the burdens that upon us fall: To solve these problems rising from the past. Never without complete cooperation, Never without the will to sacrifice, Never without a broad and generous spirit, Never without the spirit of the Christ, Will all or any of these evils die, W'ill peace, or happiness, or progress reign, Americans enjoy American freedoms, Or any better world than this emerge. Page 33 jde .jshalory o ide com of W7 By FRANCIS HASKELL, KATHERINE SIAKOTOS, and PHYLLIS SPECTOR With graduation upon us we can look back with pride and enjoyment on the years spent at Dedham High. just stop and reminisce with us while we recall fa- miliar scenes and incidents dear to us all. In September, 1943, two hundred and thirty eager and bewildered pupils began their freshman year at D. H. S. This June we find' that one hundred and forty- three are graduating with the class of '47. Our first months in Senior High were busy ones. We spent several days on the Iowa Tests of Educational Development given by the Dedham School Department to determine our scholastic background. This policy has now become an established Custom. Then we settled down to the serious business of studies and the organiza- tion of our class affairs. After drawing up and accepting our Constitution, we added an amendment changing the number necessary for a quorum. Next came class elections. The results, after a heated contest, found Paul Embree as presidentg Raymond Menice, vice-president, Shirlee Carlson, secretary, and John Mahoney, treasurer. With our chosen leaders we ventured forth into the social life of Dedham High. The Freshman Dance was a big success, due to the untiring efforts of the committees under the direction of Miss Elinor Connors, so, with money in our treasury and a little more confidence in ourselves, we entered our sophomore year. The sophomore election brought William Hickey into the office of vice-president, Patricia Fallon, secretary, John Mahoney, treasurer, and Paul Embree, again president. The main event of the sophomore year was the Tercentenary, the three hun- dredth anniversary of the building of the first public school. We all groaned when We were informed that every pupil would be required to contribute an essay on the subject The Relation of Education to Citizenship and Democracy, but when it was over, everyone agreed it had been fun. The sophomore winners were: first prize, Anthony Zonfrellig second prize, Mary Morrissey, and third prize, Joseph Dell. The girls under the direction of Miss Tobin, presented a gym exhibition. Later Governor Tobin spoke at an assembly. Later in the winter we were represented by Beverly Park in the finals of the Herald-Traveler spelling contest. Our teachers, with Mr. O'Donnell as chairman, and with the aid of our sophomore class held the Spring Frolic, which raised money sufficient to continue a student's scholarship. As we left the sophomore year, we were well-prepared financially to meet the large demands on the treasury which we were to face the next year. A change in the faculty took place in our junior year. Miss Harding, on I1 leave of absence, was replaced by Mr. Geerg and Mr. Clark, by Mr. Gustafson. W'e also welcomed the return of some of our former men teachers from the service. Page 34 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Election time came around again leaving Paul Embree in the office of president for the third successive yearg Raymond Menice, vice-president, Shirlee Carlson, sec- retary, and John Mahoney, treasurer. We conducted two dances which contributed to our treasury a large sum, malt-- ing us one of the richest classes in the history of Dedham High School, but with prices sky-roeketing we needed to be. The junior Prom, the event of the year, was a huge success. Large flowered decorations lining the walls gave the effect of a spring garden which was the back- ground for the main attraction, a large mural painting of Mr. Gustafs0n's. This year we adopted the policy of having no intermission and closing the dance by the Grand Mar-ch, hoping that in this way everyone would stay until the end. It workedg they stayed. When we were juniors, in 1946, the basketball team, after a successful season, entered the Tech Tourney at Boston Garden, but lost the first game to an overpower- ing Lexington team. This was the first time in about twenty years that a Dedham team was selected to play in the Tourney. Again we entered the Herald-Traveler Spelling Contest, the finalist being An- thony Zonfrelli. Later in the year Tony distinguished himself by receiving the his-- tory medal and an award given to the most outstanding junior boy. As seniors we turned to the important matters of the class photographer, and the caps and gowns. After much discussion about the caps and gowns, we chose maroon for both boys and girls, instead of White for the girls and maroon for the boys. The campaign for class oflicers was more exciting our senior year. When the ballots were counted, Anthony Zonfrelli was president with Francis Quinn as vice- president. Shirlee Carlson, the secretary, and John Mahoney, the treasurer, were un- opposed in this election. Sports proved very popular with the class. The outstanding athletes of the senior class were Walter Keany, who not only was elected captain of the Boston- American All Scholastic football team but was chosen to represent this district in the Suburban All Star teamg William Crawford, state hurdle champion, and Harry Kubic, state high jump champion. Our basketball team, captained by Williani Hi-ckey, captured the Bay State League title, losing only one of the fifteen games played. This loss was to Milton, but Dedham avenged herself in the return game. The team was invited' to the Tech Tourney for the second time in twenty years but lost to Lawrence-Catholic in the opening game. James Bradbury was high scorer for the season. The never-to-be-forgotten Senior Prom was held on February 14. The gym was transformed into a near fairy land by Japanese lanterns, swaying palm trees, and sil- houettes. For all who attended, it was indeed a memorable evening. The Student Council sponsored many interesting assemblies. The highlight of these proved to be Nicholodeon Nights , which after two previous attempts, was presented, much to the delight and enjoyment of all who saw it. Other assemblies varied in topics from music to traveling. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 35 We recall, of course, our entertaining Christmas assembly, which presented the customs of Christmas celebrated in diiferent lands. This was sponsored by the Eng- lish Department under the leadership of Miss Kendall. Junior Miss was chosen by the Senior Reading Committee for our play. Play- ing two successive nights, it was enjoyed by all who saw it. In the leading roles were Betty Greene, Nancy Kent, James Downey, Lorraine Bayard, James Hussey, Anthony Zonfrelli, Anne Raeder, and Eleanor Jennings, and in the supporting roles were Francis Quinn, Phyllis Spector, Alfred Ewald, Dick Wells, Louis Papineau, Frank Haskell, John Tower, Charles Sassone, Robert Ryan, john Mahoney, and Harry Kubick. After a notable banquet, class day, and graduation, we close the doors on Dedham High, taking with us lasting impressions as we go forth into the far-flung corners of the world. page 36 DEDHAM HIGH sc:-1ooL CEM 'MHZ By JOSEPH DELI., MARJORIE MCGOWAN, and NANCY XVOODWARD We, the class of 1947, Dedham High School, County of Norfolk, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being aware of the uncertainties of life and in failing health, but of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this as our last will and testament.

Phyllis Spector's wit is bestowed upon Paul Degnim, and Catherine Siakotos' grin upon Betty Beake. To Tony Gulla we bequeath Charlie Houston's priorities on all Junior girls.

To all underclassmen we leave weekly two-hour assemblies, ink in the inkwells minus pencils, erasers, and paperg more lire drills, outdoor classes on warm May days: snowstorms beginning in the Wee hours of Monday morning, and a later opening and earlier closing day of school. In conclusion, we of the Class of '47 sincerely hope that more friendships like those of Priscilla Axtman and Shirley Cassie, Vera Yanni and Marie Cappa, Mary Kiely and Lillian Erler, and Nancy Kent and Eleanor Jennings, to mention a few, may bloom and flourish within these portals of learning, and that these and all other friendships may always be strong. We give and bequeath to the Class of 1948 our weekly journey down the middle aisle, to the Class of 1949, courage-only two long years moreg to the Class of 1950, the hope of some day approaching our fame. Page 38 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL I'0l0AeCg By ALBERT HUssEY, MARILYN O,NEIL, GLADYS ORTENDAHL and FRANCIS QUINN - The time: A balmy June morning in 1960. I ' The scene: The luxurious, stream-lined automobile of the properous, if some-what over-stuffed editor of the New York Times, one Albert James Hussey, known to intimates of the newspaper world as A. J. With him in the car as it is driven away from the Hotel Statler in Boston by his chauffeur and bodyguard, Donald Chandler, is the Honorable Francis X. Quinn, the youngest judge of the Superior Court of Massachusetts. Hussey: Don, don't forget to stop at the Ritz-Carlton for our classmates, Gladys Ortendahl and Marilyn O'Neil. You remember them, Frank: they have a very exclusive dress shop on Boylston Street. Quinn: They must be doing very well to live at the Ritz-Carlton or have they fallen for the charm of the suave manager, Frank Haskell?,' Hussey: An added attraction there at the moment is Tommy Parker and his trom- bone. ' Quinn: You just passed a red light, Don. Oh! Oh! there goes a whistle: you had better stop. Policeman: Why don't you paint this car red if you belong to the fire department? Quinn: Why, it's Jimmy Bradbury! I thought you were coaching -the Celtics, our pro-basketball team. Bradbury: I am, but I am also a member of the police forcef' Hussey: Q'You must have an opportunity to see many of the members of the Class of 1947, unoflicially, of course. Bradbury: Yes, I do. Walter Keany was in Boston last week with the Chicago Cubs: and when the Brooklyn Dodgers were here a short time ago, I saw their star pitcher, Huck Embree, whose wife, the former Shirlee Carlson, refuses to allow Huck to open an agency for models during the off season. It might be a good' idea at that, with Pris Axtman and Helen O'Brien already so well estab- lished in the modelling field. Hussey: We are going to the Dedham High School Class Day exercise and reunion now. Bradbury: Remember me to any classmates you see, especially to Selectmen Donald Gillis and Louis Papineau. S Quinn: We shall. Goodbye, Jim. Hussey: Here we are at the hotel. I'm glad to see the young ladies are prompt. How are you, Glad? Marilyn, you are looking well. Ortendahl: The same old flattererg you haven't changed a bit. CSees Quinnj Frankie, this is a pleasure. O'Neil: And an honor. We don't ride with two such distinguished gentlemen every- day.', Quinn: What is that commotion over by the hotel door? It looks as if Buffalo Bill is in town. DEDHAM HIGH scHool. Page 39 O'Neil: Don't cell me you don't recognize Don Packert, the owner of a famous Texas ranch? Ortendahl: You'll see him at the reunion. On the way out we may be able to point out where other classmates work or live. Quinn: Look at that sign Chamberlain and Hickey--Public Accountants and Tax Speeialistsf' Ortendahl: Paul and Billy are doing very well. I understand that two of their clients are the wealthy arbor culturist, Harry Davis, and the steamship king, George Darling. O'Neil: I think they also handle the account of Janet Dickinson, the originator of the Lady janet Beauty Creams and Powders. Quinn: Over there in the Boston Public Library you could find Lorraine Rothwell, and in the drug store down the street is Catherine Siakotos, who is a very efficient pharmacist. O'Neil: You ought to recognize that mailman plodding along the street. In school he never could get enough walking. Hussey: It's Joe Walsh. Why are you stopping here, Don?', Chandler: We shall have to wait for this group of pedestrians to pass. Chandler: They must be the girls from the insurance companies. Ortendahl: There is Barbara Mackey, Helen Cheromacha, and Joy Anderson. O'Neil: And Joan Littig and Lillian Erlerf' Quinn: Say! Isn't that Eddie Morgan snapping a picture for his newspaper of Ruth Forrest and Barbara Fairbanks, showing what the well-dressed business girl will Wear this summer?,' O'Neil: Speaking of well-dressed women reminds me that at a tea last week, spon- sored by the League of Professional XVomen, I saw two fashion plates, Lillian Tomilson and' Nancy Kent. Chandler: 'lExcuse the interruption, but there is john Tower. Ortendahl: What are all those people standing around john for? Chandler: He conducts a Man in the Street quiz program sponsored 'by the Richard Luke Furniture Company. Hussey: Qwith a chucklej I hope you haven't missed Dick? Beauty Sleep mattress advertisements in my paper. Eleanor Jennings certainly adds interest to the setting. Quinn: A short time ago I read' a feature story in your paper about the famous women doctors, Cynthia Willis and Patricia White. Hussey: Next Sunday's feature will concern the big lumber baron, Honest John Mahoney, our class treasurerf' John employs several members of our class: Joseph Dell, as a civil engineer: Robert Ryan, as a railroad engineer, and Constance Ker- rigan as a secretary. Quinn: Is it true that John has prospective employees interviewed by that eminent physicist, Edward Girard? Hussey: Yes, and if they get by Ed and John's personnel manager, Patricia Fallon, they must be good. O'Neil: Over there is Simmons College, where Norma Geyer is the assistant dean. Ortendahl: The hospitals in this neighborhood remind me that Mary Erasmi, Shirley - Cassie, Jeannine Golden, and Joan Freeman are nurses. Page 40 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL O'Neil: Didn't you meet Carolyn Small' on your trip to Sweden? Ortendahl: Yes, she is a stewardess on a Trans-Atlantic flight: and servicing the planes are Joe Cimeno and Jimmy Hayes. Quinn: I read' in Betty Greene's newspaper gossip column that Peggy Kennedy has just received 'her pilot's license. O'Neil: Have you noticed that the Edison Company's employment ads feature Law- rence Derby's picture, citing his record as an example of how a young man can rise in its organization? Hussey: Among rising young women are Joyce Fraser, the eminent biologist, and Phyllis Iarocci, the prominent business woman. Speaking of young men rising rapidly brings to mind the cases of Ethan Allen and Willis Baker, who are the co-designersfof the new rocket plane. Ortendahl: But why did' they paint Dorothy Mohler's picture on their plane? Hussey: She was chosen as the favorite pin-up girl of the armed forces. The com- mittee making the selection included Ray Menice of the Coast Guard, Robert Domer of the Army, and Lt. Commander Charlie Sassone of the Navyf' Quinn: Who was the first member of the class to be married?,' O'Neil: Debbie Putnam, I believe, but Marion Dereau and Marion Flint weren't far behind. Quinn: 'lWhat ever happened to the Old Maids Club? Ortendahl: You mean the girls who vowed they would never marry? Well, all went well for a short time until Gerry Gleason met the right man. After that, Margie McGowan and Kathleen Ahearn walked down the aisle. Hussey: Say, Don, what's wrong with the car? I just had it checked at the john Harris Packard agency. The foreman, Frank Lane, assured me that everything was in perfect orderf' Chandler: It's the street, not the car. See that sign. Hussey: Qreadsj joseph Columbo-Highway Construction. Quinn: There is the engineer for the state, Alvah Downs, talking to Joe's superin- tendent, Harry Kubickf' Hussey: The subject of construction reminds me -that Dick Wells is the architect who designed that new housing development and Charlie Houston the landscape garde- ner who planned the park-like surroundingsf' Ortendahl: Betty O'Sullivan was the interior decorator for the development. O'Neil: That roadside restaurant We just passed is one of the Elinor Jenks' chain. Jean Goddard has painted murals in each of them. Walter Foss is the manager directing the corporation. Quinn: I think Charlie Jesson, the certified public accountant has them for a client. O'Neil: Irene Burns plans their menu while Brad Folsom, who covers schoolboy sports for a Boston paper, and Bernard Keany, the Well-known English teacher, are frequent customers? Chandler: If it's food you want, don't forget John Davenport's market. Arlene Ducey and Eleanor Dwyer are bookkeepers for John. Ortendahl: 'lEdward Taglione is also in the food business as manager of the First Na- tional store in Dedham. Quinn: Eddie Reska told me that he had the trucking contract for that organization, and he also added his truck drivers refer to this general manager as Simon. Legrr'f'. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL P096 41 Hussey: Do we know the manager? Quinn: You certainly do know him-Alfred Ewaldf' O'Neil: Has anyone heard from Billy C'rawford?', Quinn: Yes, Bill has his own machine shop where he specialized in pattern making. Jimmy Downey is the superintendent of production, and Dorothy Hennessey is Bill's private secretary. Dot told me that Bill is the president of the Dedham Parent-Teacher Association, and that Catherine Hanson is the secretary of the organization. Hussey: I hope you didn't miss Lorraine Bayard's concert on the radio last night. Ortendahl: I should' say we didn't, but I don't suppose you men ever listen to Mary Eannello's Helpful Hints to Housewives. O'Neil: No, nor do I suppose they read Nancy Riley's advice to the lovelorn column. I-Iussey: Possibly those are out of our line, but, then, how often do you girls listen to Donald Downs broadcasting the baseball game?,' O'Neil: I guess you are right. There is Gurbefs Sweet Shoppe: you remember Irene. She says that Howard Stott, the policeman of that beat, is good for at least two ice cream sodas a dayf' Hussey: Doesn't she find it difficult to get good help these days? O'Neil: Oh, no. All she has to do is contact the employment agency of Isabel Rohan and Louise Staula. Joan McNicholas is their chief interviewer, and John Goehring is their Held agent. Chandler: We are now entering Dedham. Ortendahl: What is that new building along the Charles River? Chandler: That is Richard Lawry's Dance Studio, where Estelle Lessard, Ella Regan, and Barbara Mozer give dancing lessons. Ortendahl: Oh, so thatis the place. Dorothy Lord told me she and Therese Downing often used to go there before -they were married. Chandler: Albert Callello, who is a traveling salesman, owns that pretty house over there, and one of his neighbors is the former Marie Maida. And there is Leslie Van Tassels' garage. I wonder whether Catherine Bingham is still his book- keeper! 1 Ortendahl: Here is the Registry of Deeds. Mal, do you remember when we worked there after graduating from high school? O'Neil: I should say I do. Rita Kussmaul was elected Registrar of Deeds two years ago. I believe that Marie Cappa and Mary Morrissey are department heads there now, while Irene Ryan is the secretary to the judge of the Probate Court. Vera Yanni works at the Court Housef' Ortendahl: Betty Sutton is chief secretary in the Town Hall, with Rose DeVirgilio and Christina Matthew as her able assistants. Quinn: t'Isn't that the shop where Ann Paspates and Florence Constantino have done so well? O'Neil: Yes, it is that attractive shop over there by the bus stop where Mary Kiely is just alighting from the Walpole bus. She must be taking the rest of the day off from her secretarial duties. ' Hussey: That girl in the white uniform looks familiar. Why, it's Nancy Wood- ward!,' A E Ortendahl: 'tYes, she is a dental hygienist? Page 42 N DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Quinn: As we pass Memorial Park, we may see the high school baseball coach, Robert Weber, with his boysf' Ortendahl: Or maybe, Rita O'Leary, who is following in Miss Tobin's footsteps, trying to make the girls into young ladies. ' Hussey: Here we are at the old school-but what is that building over there where the tennis courts used to be?,' Quinn: That is the new addition where Louis Drake is the custodian. Irene Columbo and Marion Dalrymple have charge of the cafeteria now. Ortendahl: CSeeing Rita Houdej Rita, wait for us. You remember Jimmy Hussey, and, of course, you have seen the others frequently. Houde: It's good to see so many classmates again. Hussey: I heard that your husband's football teams have done well. Ortendahl: Yes, Zonfrelli is another Heaphyf' Quinn: Just how do you mean that? In regard to the number of games won or were you referring to Tony's thinning locks? Houde: You had 'better not make so much noise or the principalis secretary, Helen Sparuk, will be coming out to see what is going on. Hussey: Ah, Room 101! What memories! Is that Anne Raeder in Topper's place? Houde: Here are some early arrivals looking as young and attractive as ever: Faith Meaker of the Meaker Secretarial School: Constance Miret, the noted traveler and lecturer on women's rights, Phyllis Spector, chief secretary to the governor and quite a political power in her own right: Rita Gustafson, a department manager for Jordan Marsh, Marianne Foley, who trains the girls at Shawmut National Bank, Anita Thompson and Anne Sullivan, executive secretaries at the First Na- tional Bank of Boston. ' Quinn: I heard that Dorothy Woelful is the office manager of a local insurance com- pany. Hussey: Who are these old people in the back of the auditorium, and what are they arguing about? Houde: Don,t you recognize Mr. Eaton, Mr. Bottomley, Mr. Cowan, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Heaphy? Someone just complained to them about the younger genera- tion, but they maintain that there is nothing to Worry about, pointing out that the members of the Class of 1947 have become great successes in life even though they caused many a gray hair while in Dedham High School.

The setting is the living room of the Graves' apartment just off Central Park. The plot concerns the attempts of Judy, delightfully played 'by Betty Greene, to save her mother and father's marriage. Not only does she succeed in doing that, but also she brings about the marriage of her mysterious Uncle Willis, Francis Quinn, and the charming Ellen Curtis, Eleanor Jennings. In addition, without any scheming at all, she brings about the promotion of her father to junior partnership in his firm. ' Lois Graves, the sophisticated older sister whose paradoxical fits of temper and many dates add humor to the play, was well portrayed by Ann Raeder. The awkward Merrill Feurbach was played by Harry Kubickg the over-bold Sterling Brown, by Charles Sassoneg the energetic Tommy Arbuckle, by Louis Papineau. Charles and Henry, whose sudden departure from the Graves' home was caused by Mr. Graves, were played by Robert Ryan and John Mahoney. The dominating J. B. Curtis, whose humbling was partially due to an amusing case of mistaken identity, was admirably played by James Hussey. Harry Graves, Judy's father, and Grace, the mother, were played by Jim Downey and Lorraine Bayard. Puffy Adams, Judy's bosom friend from the time they first decided to be bosom friends and the product of a progressive school, was played skillfully by Nancy Kent. Barlow Adams, Fuffy's brother, and his friend, Haskell Cummings, who escorted Judy to her first formal party, were played by Alfred Ewald and Robert Ryan. Humor was added to the play by the greatly imposed upon maid, Hilda, Phyllis Spector, and the singing Western Union boy, Richard Wells. Some of the stage properties were pieces of furniture purchased with money for that purpose to the Dedham High School by a former class. The play was coached by Miss Louise Clark and Miss Ruth Baker of the English Department.

To create closer cooperation and better understanding between pupils and Faculty and to be representative of the Student body--this is the aim of the Student Council which, guided by Miss Margaret Boynton, is one of the most successful organizations in Dedham High School. The Corrigan Hop, the most profitable dance ever run 'by the Student Council, was held in November, 194.6. To stimulate interest in the dance, a special assembly was held, which we'll never forget. The Council has sponsored several other popular and successful assemblies, including an illustrated lecture by Captain Bailey, an air force captaing Q'Nickelodeon Nights , a history of the moviesg and Richard Carson, a dramatist. E , 1 1 1 ' This year the Council has undertaken a task which has never been done before. It has edited a pamphlet, a guide to the school and its activities. This pamphlet will henceforth be distributed among freshmen and sold to upperclassmen. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page Sl jrafhc WGIULGZ5 LEFT TO RIGHT-Charles Houstong John Mahoneyg Rita O'Learyg Anthony Zonfrellig Francis Quinn. The Traflic Squad, which is selected by the Student Council, is composed of twelve members of each of the three upper classes. The Traffic Squad leader is elected by the Student Council, and must be a senior. He, in turn, chooses four marshals, one for each corridor. The marshal checks the attendance of the squad members, replaces absentees and tries to keep traffic running smoothly in his corridor. The squad has charge of conduct in the corridors and on the stairs and has the power to recommend for detention constant offenders.

With printing discontinued because of high prices, the new method, lithography, produced a Mirror more informal in appearance and much more diflicult to put to- gether than the Mirror of former years. But with the printing we could never have had Anne Raeder's two-page amusing cartoons. Anne also has proved herself very prominent in the Boston Globe Editor's Club by writing a thirty dollar prize essay. Marie Sally and Mary Hammond, junior assistants, were also honored for a prize winning feature. Junior Editor, Jane Monahan, has published the last few issues in preparation for her chief's position next year. When the faculty adviser, Mr. Ryan, was absent because of illness, Miss Grant's help was very much appreciated. The Mirror marches on with 1947 slated as the year of outstanding changes.

The Boys' Glee.Club is a very new organization, which was started late in the fall. It is the first time in over 15 years that Dedham High School has had a boys' glee club of this nature. It provides an opportunity for the Junior and Senior boys who are interested in singing to get together once a week and sing. The glee club is directed by Mr. Beattie, who is assisted by Mr. Carr. Due to the infancy of the organization, no public performances have been anticipated as yet, however, it is hoped that, as the organization develops, it will become a permanent and worthwhile contribution to the musical activities of Dedham High School. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club provides an opportunity for girls of all classes to get together once a Week and sing their favorite songs in harmony and receive training in voice and choral technique. The Glee Club, directed by Mr. Beattie, rehearse X period on Wednesday. They have sung for the Christmas assembly, Bay State Teachers' Association, Senior Play and Graduation, and have contributed much to the musical activities of Dedham High School.

The Library Council is a student organization formed for the purpose of assist- ing in the administration of the school library. For each period during the week a student librarian is assigned to be in charge of the library and the pupils who visit it. Among the duties of these librarians are the checking in and out of books, locating special issues of magazines, pointing out sources of information, and checking the slips of visitors. Once a year the Library Council sponsors a dance, from which revenue is gained to pay for magazine subscriptions and to purchase new books. Although the present library is far from adequate, steps are being taken to provide more adequate facilities in the future.

The Dramatic Club meets monthly with a group of students in charge of pro- grams. This year many of the plays presented have been one-act plays read in English classes. The Club has tried to present plays other than comedies, as it feels that students should learn to appreciate serious as well as humorous productions. page 50 LDEDHAM HIGH sc:-zoos. i unior C1165 icem LEFT TO RIGHT-Helen O'Nei1, treasurerg Alexander Martin, vice-presidentg Bobby Haynes, presidentg Connie Hines, secretary.

The 1946 - 1947 Dedham High School hockey team, under the skillful guidance of their coach, Nick DeSalvo, had'one of its most successful seasons, winning ten games and losing only three. Of these ten, three were non-league contests, the scores being Dedham 8, Hingham Og Dedham 6, North Quincy 25 Dedham S, Framingham 3. Then after three straight victories, Dedham grew lax and just barely edged a revamped, cellar-dwelling Wakcneld team 1-0 on Captain Nee's goal. Aroused by its narrow margin of victory over lowely Wakeneld, Dedham rose up and throttled the usually high-scoring Hudsons 3-2 on Captain Nee's two markers, and pasted Somerville '4-2. Bob Haynes tallied three times and Dick McDonough once. The team ended the season by belting hapless Wfakeneld 4-2. In this game Captain Nec registered twice and passed to linemates, Boy Haynes and Dick McDonough for two more goals. Captain Fran Nee, the teeth of the Dedham attack all season, was high scorer for the team with 16 points Q10 goals and 6 assistsj, and was second highest scorer in the league. Dedham placed S players on the Eastern Massachusetts All-Star Team: On the first -team, Captain Fran Nee and Bob Haynesg on the second team, Alan Hurst, Dick McDonough, and Co-Captain Fran Quinn. As there were 90 candidates out for hockey, great interest was shown in the game. Mr. LeGuern had a junior varsity team which played two games and won both. The first of these two games was a 3-1 victory over the Noble Greenough seconds, and the other game was a 3-1 triumph over the Framingham second team.

Wfith Carl Erickson and Lyman Avery making their debut as Dedham High School basketball coaches, this year's team finished one of the most successful seasons that a Dedham quintet has ever experienced. A record of 15 wins, 1 defeat, and an invitation to the State Championship Tournament clearly show that this team was truly dynamic Sparked by -the league's high scorer, jimmy Bradbury collected a total of 290 points during the season. The remaining players more than did their bit in Winning the games. Captain Bill Hickey, who has played for three years, displayed his leader- ship in all of the contests. Brad Folsom, runner up to Bradbury in the point making department, and Albert Calello, another outstanding forward, both showed an ability to score often and skillfully. These three-Hickey, Folsom, and Calello--in addition to Bradbury, gave Dedham an outstanding forward line. A team, however, is not made up of forwards alone. The two Hucks--Embree and Kenny-combined to make up a stalwart defenseg yet it wasnit the individuals who gave Dedham this fine recordg it was the all-round team play. The second team composed of sophomores and freshmen show promise and will certainly be heard of in the years to come. Page 66 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOO 31064 jealn FRONT ROW: Qleft to right?-Mr. Edwin T.

The team took part in seven meets. The first was on the hangar deck of the aircraft carrier Andrews. Then on successive Saturdays the boys took part in the N. E. A. A. U. School Boy Meet at the Malden High School Gymnasium, the North- eastern University Meet at the Boston Garden, the Massachusetts High School Associa- tion Championships at the Boston Garden and the N. E. A. A. U. Open Champion- ships at the Boston Y. M. C. A. track. The team won dual meets with the strong Brookline and Weymouth teams. Brookline was edged thirty-nine to thirty-eight while Weymouth was trounced forty- iive to thirty-two. The highlight of the season was the fine showing of the Dedham team at the Massachusetts High School Championships. Co-Captain Bill Crawford won the hurdle race. Co-Captain Harry Kubic tied for first place in the high jump and took third place in the hurdles. Thomas York took a fourth in the broad jump. The relay team made up of Charles Donelan, Thomas York, George Allen and Bill Crawford turned in the fastest relay time to gain five points for Dedham. Dedham's sixteen and a -third points gave the team second place in the meet. More .than three hundred boys representing thirty schools competed in the class B events.

The following week we were turned back by Watertown 21-13 at Stone Park. We were much better, however, than the Watertown game indicated, as we 'bounced back to give highly favored North Quincy a tough battle, but fell short of an upset by the slim margin of a single point. The final score was 13-12. From then on better things were in store for the team. We defeated Needham 20-6 for our tenth victory in eleven years over that town. Framingham and Hyde Park were then defeated 13-0 and 16-0 respectively. Although Malden Catholic was chosen by the experts to end our winning streak, we made it four straight with a score of 13-7 in one of the hardest fought games of the campaign. The following week by the grace of two early touchdowns hex Weymouth pinned a 13-7 defeat on us. Our team came back onto the gridiron in the second half to play Weymouth off their feet, but the time ran out just as we reached the 8 yard line and seemed' sure to score. Cambridge Latin was finally turned back by a 6-0 score. Our old rival, Norwood, was handed a 7-0 licking on Thanksgiving Day, despite the frequent riots of the Norwood crowd. The expert coaching of Mr. Heaphy and his able assistants, Mr. Avery, Mr. LeGuern, and Mr. Erickson, was largely the reason for our excellent season. The brilliant passing of Captain Keany to his two able ends Jim Bradbury and Huck Embree highlighted the entire season. The entire line played admirably, giving Walter Keany the protection needed for his accurate passes and towering kicks, and opened the holes for his hard running backfield mates. Huck Keany was chosen on the Greater Boston All Stars in recognition of his ine work all season. 5 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 69 - .-.,,,,...,. Y.e .

With last year's coach, Andy Scafati, coaching at Norwood, the capable and popular Gus LeGuern has taken over--the reins. Gus, a cagey coach, knows how to handle ball players, and knows baseball. With a number of veterans returning from last year, the coming season promises to be a good one. Yet there are enough positions left open to promise quite a struggle to able candidates. First and second base, shortstop, any of the outfield positions, though George Allen and Robert Weber seem to have them clinched, are being com- peted for. Also there is a lack of pitchers. Those who are back from last year have played quite a bit of baseball and are due for a stellar year. Huck Keany, one of our power hitters will probably land the shortstop or third base job, doing a little pitching on the side. York and Drake are fighting for shortg Puff and Mitchell for second, Haskell and Mulrey, for first base. Bridges, Conroy, Folsom, and Captain Paul Embree are trying for the hurlers. Paul, we know, is capable of doing an ex-- cellent job on the mound, while the rest look promising. Zonfrelli, Sassone, and Sikora are competing for the catcher's job. Zonfrelli, last year's regular, has the edge so far, being steady and peppy, and somewhat of a hitter. Now that baseball has really come into its own in D. H. S., a long and gruelling schedule has been made up. There will probably be between 18 - 20 league games with a couple of scrimmages. Even so, it looks as though the team will come through with a good record,-maybe one good enough to cap the championship. The sched-- ule is as follows: DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL SCHEDULE-1947 Tuesday, April 15-Natick at Dedham Friday, May 9-Dedham at Natick Friday, April 18-Wellesley at Dedham Tuesday, May 13-Dedham at Wellesley Tuesday, April 22-Dedham at Framingham Friday, May 16-Framingham at Dedham Friday, April 25-Needham at Dedham Tuesday, May 20-Dedham at Needham Tuesday, April 29-Dedham at Milton Friday, May 23-Milton at Dedham Friday, May 2-Walpole at Dedham Monday, May 26-Dedham at Walpole Tuesday, May 6-Dedham at Norwood Thursday, May 29-Norwood at Dedham Page 70 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL girgi , Z?aclmin fon FRONT ROW Cleft to rightb-Marie Hubbelg Joanne Yonkerg Eleanor Tannettag Lorraine Selmarg Pauline Robertsong Inez Clarkg Helen Siakotosg Betty Brandley.
