Yearbook Simy The pride and joy of the senior class, the much fussed over, talked over, glorious yearbook, entered this confused world a little shakey. As the Weather was a bit cool, our new-born babe, advertised in the notices for some covering up matter. Those present at the first meeting listened attentively to Mr. James Bleiler, from Purdy's, who gave many fine ideas and suggestions. The cost of the yearbook, the arrangement of the senior pictures, the set-up of the divider pages and the printing were Hnally settled after a few meetings. Then, the real work began. Anne Grant, the editor in chiefls eagerness and great abilities set a Hne precedent for the other members to follow. The most enthusiastic workers in doing the cutting, pasting, and layout of the pictures, and the write-ups were Mary White, Marian Spector, Katherine Maida, Evelyn Hamn, and that iarst-rate cut-up man, John Mahan. Credit is also due Calvin Wfilcox for his excellent Class History, to Claire Scotton and Susan Grearson for their long hours of bequeathing in the Class Willg and? to Roberta Sloan and Phyllis Richardson for their fine job of predicting in the Class Prophecy. A great big bouquet of thanks is due Mr. Joseph Ryan for all the time and energy he put into making the 1952 yearbook such an achievement. l4l SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Vice President, Marilyn Breadyg Treasurer, Herbert Johnsong President, Lawrence Mitchellg Secretary, Phyllis Richardson.

The chief executives in the senior year of the class of '52 were Lawrence Mitchell, presidlentg Marilyn Bready, vice-president, Phyllis Richardson, secretary, and Herbert Johnson, treasurer. These students, along with the executive committee, have worked steadily to gani success for our class, the class of 'S2.

The class of 1952 would like to express its sincere gratitude to Mr. Roger B. Randall by dedicating this book to him. As our friend, adviser, and teacher, he has unselfishly given his time to guiding us kindly and encouragingly through our four years of high school. l61 mr. iafplz Cflafozz YYO Tfllc?

Our fine, far- sighted forefathers, Makers of laws and of precepts sound, framing wisely the statutes. Thought like the Greeks of old that youth should have education, Thought that all our youth should have free, tax- supported, high schooling. Now, on Mt. Vernon Street, in the very heart of the Shire Town, Friendly, hospitable, warm, this high school awaits to receive us, Opens its sheltering arms to all races, all creeds, and all classes, A huge melting pot, blending well the brilliant, the backward, the normal, Society's cross section true, the gleaming goal of our forbears. Here in the glow of Democracy's light so steadily shining, Fashioned are timbers, are timbers and joists of our life's fixed foundation, Here tools are acquired, adapted precisely to each by the teachers, And by the principal wise, a friend and adviser of students, Here are materials for building, but only for those who have earned them. Hearken to Work, toil, labor, and strive, and then keep on persisting. Persistence, courage, and strength, with common sense mixed, and good humor, Tolerance, helpfulness, tact, and the freedom of choice are essential, Traits thus ingrained and imbedded make strong the aspiring structure. Ready are we now, classmates, to fashion the rest of our building. XVork with the tools which are yours, the gift of the free public high school, Use the materials fine which you earned at this public high school. May your life's structure be sturdy, four-square, storm-proof, and un- yielding. l12l HOIIOI' GTIYIZIIIIIIILKI The class of 1952 was outstanding in many ways, one of which was its record- breaking number of brainy individuals. Twelve students graduated with honors this year, practically the largest number ever to win the priceless gold tassel at D. H. S. This year,s honor grads included: James Aspell Leon Edney Anne Grant Evelyn I-Iamn Rita Marie O'Leary Phyllis Richardson Roberta Sloan Marion Spector Frances Sullivan Calvin W'ilcox Alfred NVinshman Thomas Yonker Co-captain of the football team Boy most likely to succeed Editor-in-chief of Ra'f1ec'fin11s Member of the junior Red Cross Member of Play Reading Committee Class Secretary Editor-in-chief of the Mirror Captain of the Cheerteam Member of Reflwfiozls stan' Rotary Speaking Contest XY'inner Most Studious Senior Member of the Track Team Because there were so many graduating with honors it was decided that two of the above should be chosen by the faculty and two chosen by the students to speak at graduation. Selected by the student body were James Aspell and Leon Edney, while the faculty chose Roberta Sloan and Thomas Yonker. The theme on which these four spoke was, American Youth in the Atomic Age. To qualify as a Honor Graduate, a pupil during his last three years of school must have no mark below C, no more than five C's in all subjects, and no more than three C's in any one subject.

As all can see from our candid portraits, our innocent baby faces teemed with native intelligence. From our first cooing days we were looking forward to high school, where our talents would aid in our training for service to mankind. During our nursery days, however, we could not hide all our talents. Suffice it to say that Dick Learyfs first toy was a car, while Beanzie Winters, Johnny Johnson, and Joe Teti received from Santa Claus toy skates, a football, and a basket ball, re- spectively. Franny Donovan was scolded for snatch- ing Marion Rafferty's bottle and Butchie Nee Qwhen he became old enough to wear tiny suspendersj was caught daily trimming his hair with sharp scissors.

On a crisp morning of early September, 1948, we, the entering class of Dedham High School, stood about on the lawn and in the freshman corridor, awaiting directions from upperclassmen. Disregard- ing this advice, we began the Hrst of four of the best years of our lives as green freshmen. After we had proved our prowess by being able to distinguish Mr. Randall from Mr. Bottomley and by remember- ing our seats in 210, it was agreed among the faculty that we were ready for self-government. The class of 52's first major duty was to select homeroom representatives to draft our class consti- tution. This constitution provided' for a special as- sembly where the candidates for the various offices could be presented. At this assembly many color- ful speeches were delivered, as well as Ken Stuke's suggestive souvenir and Joe Tetifs cigars. By Australian ballot the class of '52 exercised its right of franchise for the first time. Our Class officers-elect were handsome Ronald MacKenzie, pres- identg Marilyn Bready, vice president, Anne Grant, secretary, and Herbert Johnson, treasurer. Now, that we could no longer complain about taxation without representation, our class dues were set at S0 cents, and a provision for a ine of 10 cents was made in case of non-payment of said dues. This year of 1948 was a memorable one in the history of Dedham High School as Well as the class lst R0W'MMYfrfm Burke, Bert Insert-Jackie Kiely- Nancy Rawley, Adelia DeMartino, ggiflE?erg'1r0?Vg:1ZRh Higgs' Znd ROW ,- Marian Spector Dave XVhittaker, Darlene Hunting- 1 1 3 9 1 , - C11-I Rubinstein, Bobby Ericsson, Helen Pike, FIJIICCS Sullivan, ton: Margie Bruggemana Eleanor Eleanor Sundberg. ward Donovan, Joan Maertins, Anderson. of 1952. This was the first year that a course in shop was offered to our high school students. Since this department offered courses long desired by the practical-minded, registration, although limited to the members of the freshman and sophomore classes, was very heavy. Under the guidance of Mr. j. Arthur Ainsworth, there were courses in woodwork- ing, art metal, and plastics. In this department there was even a class for sophomore girls. At mid-year Mr. Ainsworth resigned to accept a college position, and Mr. Philip Dodge became our manual training instructor. Our spelling champion, Lois Niemann, was the freshman class winner who participated in the an- nual Herald-Traveler Spelling Bee. Even as freshmen, we were precocious and socially- minded. Two popular freshman girls, Marian Raf- ferty and Peggy Ryan, attended the senior prom. In the spring everyone turned out for our freshman dance, which was appropriately entitled The Fare- well Fling. ' 1949-1950 MEffllCdff0H should be as broad as man.

Ear advanced from our freshman maneuvers, we climbed the front steps of the Dedham High School as sophisticated sophomores. Our president, Ronald MacKenzie had moved, thereby leaving his office vacant. Our new president-elect was versatile Joseph Teti, but our other class oiiicers were unchanged. Due to inflation, our class dues were raised to the staggering amount of 75 cents. Unifril Stairs, Canada, and I0 zwxlwvz uafiwrx aaloplvd u Norlb Aflanfit' Defrnsc' Part. The Holy Dom' af Sf.

We were the second class in the history of Ded- ham High School to purchase our class rings when only sophomores. A ring committee was chosen, and, after a comparison of samples, we chose those submitted by the Bastian Company. Again Lois Niemann won the honor of represent- ing our class in the Herald-Traveler Spelling Bee, and was a sophomore finalist. That fall John Johnson won a starting position as fullback on the Dedham High football squad. This position Johnson filled creditably for three years. That winter Coach Nick De Salvo's hockey team won the Eastern Mass. Championship, beating out Natick in a thrilling season. Mr. Edwin Peter- son our very popular and successful track coach, announced his resignation from that position, and Mr. Lyman Avery was appointed as his successor. It was most appropriate that, in this year which marked the turn of the century, an exhibition of school work of all Dedham schools, including the Dedham High School, was held. Exhibits of work from all classes of our school were displayed. This exhibit's theme was Dedham Schools on Parade. While all the departments of our high school pre- sented noteworthy displays, particular mention shoultl lst Row-Phyllis Richardson, Middle-Shirley Richardson, 2nd Row-Barbara Riley, Ar immy Giunchcttg, Joan Starr, Carol Sestito, Peter Gagliard, Hen- 1000 DUNN, Mill Ch11mlDC1'l-lill Arm MCKeoWn, Peggy Ryan, Al- chick and Herbert Johnson.

We were all out in force for our sophomore dance, which had the fitting seasonal title, The Tulip Twirl. As we approached the end of our sopho- more year, we realized that, although one-half of our high school days had slipped away, two wonder- ful and activity-filled years were just within our grasp. 1950-1951 And many strolzes, though with a little axe, hew down and fell the broadest timber outa. -Shalzev peare. Secretary of Defense, George C. Marshall advo- cated selective service. George Bernard Shaw, Henry L. Stimson, Al Iolson, and King Gustave V left life's stage. President Truman pred MacArth1ir, thereby precipitating a controversy, and Puerto Rican fanatics attempted to assassinate President Truman. What enthusiasm, what aspirations, and what worldly wisdom were manifested as we jubilant juniors of the class of '52 looked forward to a year of recognition and the junior prom! Our president, Joseph Teri, did not choose to run for a second term, so we elected popular Cyril Sullivan for our third president in as many years. The other oflicers received the class backing and were returned to oflice. Our class dues were now set at the amount of an even dollar. , In the faculty of our school, a few changes were observed. Mr. Arthur S. Little came to assist Mr. Dodge in his shop program. Upon the retirement of Miss Marion Harding, Mr. Roger Randall, became the head of the biology department, while Mr. Harry McKay joined us as a freshman algebra teacher. ln the annual Rotary Public Speaking Contest, Leon Edney of our class was winner in the oratorical division. Joe Fulginiti and' his 51500 accordion, through Community Auditions, won a trip to New York to participate in Ted Mack's show. In the competition Joe's performance was outstanding. At long last spring arrived, and with it, the junior prom. The theme of the prom was the roman- tic Dancing in the Dark. With Mr. Gustafson's aid the gym was transformed with breathtaking dee-- orations into a huge garden. Mammoth artificial pillars were adorned with roses and forsythia. Unique Japanese lanterns added to the decorative effect. The 36 other social event of the year was the Shamrock Shindig, which helped our depleted treasury. The local post of the American Legion sent Leon Edney, James Aspell, and james Christian as dele- gates to Boys' State. Susan Grearson was chosen as a delegate to the Legion Auxiliary's Girls' State at Bridgewater. Our superlative spelling champion, Lois Niemann, won the 'bronze trophy at the annual Herald-Traveler Spelling Bee for outspelling all other junior class con- testants of Suburban Boston. Lois' winning the eleventh grade championship added another cup to Dedham High's already large collection, As we finished our underclassmen days, we were impatiently awaiting the time when we would re- turn to our school as high and mighty seniors. 1951-1952 Progress-the onward stride of God! -Victor Hugo. 1 Estes Kefaueer and General Dwight Eisenhower won the New Hampshire primaries, and President Truman announced that he would not he a Demo-- cratic candidate for the presidency. As we parked our cars in front, in back, and on the school grounds, our maturity was self-evident. Equally evident was the fact that history was in the making. Rolling up our sleeves, as we settled down in our senior homerooms, we found the only change in the faculty was that Mr. Arthur Barker had replaced Mr. James Dunne as teacher of English. Mr. Dunne had assumed the principalship of the Capen School upon the retirement of Miss Alice Goodspeed. The air of excitement of our first senior days was intensified by politics, the oflices of president and secretary being closely contested. By three votes we elected a fourth new president in as many years. Yes, the Mitchell machine had seized power, and Lawrence Mitchell was now our class president. Phyllis Richardson replaced Anne Grant as secre- tary. Again our class dues were set at the amount of one dollar. Following Mitchell's election a Freak Week was declared. During this period the girls came to classes with mismated shoes, mismated socks, men's shirts, and ties. The boy's obligation was to forego shaving and to wear real suspenders and bowties. Following Freak Week we staged a successful Sadie Hawkins Drag . Yes, we had indeed prog- ressed, a fact to which the above classic nomencla- tures would bear witness. At the close of the football season, john johnson was placed on the Suburban All-Star team, while Joe Teti played on the Bay State All-Star Basket- ball team. During the indoor track season Coach Lyman Avery's boys won the class C State Cham- pionship. The State Meet victory was really de- cisive with Dedham High placing in every event. The class of '52 decided to hold its Senior Prom on December seventh to prevent double bankruptcy. Thus Santa Claus still was able to visit most of the seniors. The theme of the prom was Winter Wonderland . Our Wonderland was decorated with bells, bells, and more bells. Christmas greens of every description enhanced the beauty of the gym. After the prom we journeyed to the Mansion Inn, where we enjoyed dining and dancing. All the English classes arranged' a trip to Cam- bridge to see a production of Macbeth. Having acquired a sudden enthusiasm for Shakespeare, the students, two bus loads strong, packed the little Brattle Theatre in Cambridge. In the annual Rotary Public Speaking Contest, two seniors were declared winners. They were Carl Rubenstein, winner of the dramatic declamations, and Calvin Wilcox, winner of the humorous selec- tions. Phyllis Richardson, by a school vote, was elected our Good Government Day representative. Good Hozzsckvrpirzg, a comedy in three acts, was selected' as the senior play. James Christian and Nan Graham had the leading parts. As an amateur performance, it was pronounced a huge success. As a co-operative venture of the senior class, it re- flected great credit upon our coach, Miss Doris Grant, who in organizing and co-ordinating the various committees, attained the outstanding results which have ever been the ear-marks of Miss Grantis fine coaching. To show our appreciation for this teacher's fortitude and Patience during the long hours of rehearsals over a period of many weeks, the senior class and the cast presented Miss Grant with flowers and an appropriate gift. In response to the signs Uncle Sam Needs You many of our senior boys joined the Naval, Artillery, and Air Corps Reserves. Others took admission 37 tests to Annapolis, the Coast Guard Academy, and the Maritime Academy. On the first of March a group of senior boys and girls took the College En- trance Board examinations. As a crowning touch to her years of ability, ap- plication, and practice in spelling, Lois Niemann, our twelfth grade representative from Dedham High School, won in the finals of the Herald-Traveler Spelling Bee and became Suburban Champion of Greater Boston. The words which she spelled to win were appellant and labyrinth , Her prize was an all-expense trip to New York and Washing- ton. For many years Miss Dorothy Kendall has supervised the preparation of these contestants in the spelling competition and the results have been most gratifying. To the best looking girl in our class, Joan Maer- tins, went the honor of being the D.A.R. good citizen. This choice was made after considering the character, attitude, and accomplishments of eligible senior girls. It should be recorded here that local plans have been made and carried out for the education of the babies of the class of '52, An ultra-modern primary school was dedicated recently in Oakdale. In the Riverdale School construction plans are being put into operation for another school of this type. How assuring and attractive these educational facilities will be to our class babies! As the closing days of our senior year crept upon us, the names of the honor graduates were an- nounced. Our class has an even dozen honor grad- uates, five boys and seven girls. As we stroll across the platform at the Graduation Exercises, we shall indeed be sorry to leave Dedham High, but we shall be confident that we can handle the future, even .1 career in Korea. i 3 i Ik The Moving Finger u'rilr's ami, hazing zfrif, Moves on, nor all your Pivly um' WUI Shall lure if bark, or l'I1Ul'l'l half a liflv.

By SUsAN GREARSON and CLAIRE SCOTTON We, the Class of 1952, being about to leave the hallowed halls of Dedham High School and being as sound of mind as it is possible to be after four years of cramming for tests, do hereby proclaim this to be our last W'ill and Testament, dissolving, forth- with, all wills and testaments previously made bv us. NVe do, therefore, bequeath the following gifts and privileges: To Mr. Eaton we leave our sincere thanks for seeing us through our four tedious but happy years. To Mr. Randall, our patient and encouraging adviser, we bequeath an unlimited supply of vitamin pills so he can regain his strength and advise another class just like ours, if ever, in the course of time, there should be one. To Mr. Ryan we leave a new desk for the journalism room, a giant jar of paste, and many more eager Mirror writers. To Miss Guell we give 10,000 new books and a spacious new library, and to Miss Haiinlian, a new book of quotations for the blackboard in 208. Al XVinshman's brief case we bestow upon Miss Kendall. To Miss Madeline Clough we leave Little Caesar, and to Miss Lucy Clough, a quiet senior homeroom full of industrious students. To Mr. Smith we leave millions of better qualified voters, and to Mrs. Flynn, 1000 tardy slips. W'e want Mr. DeSalvo to have two months of smooth ice at the hockey rink and Mr. l-leaphy to have a football squad that never goes out on dates, To Miss Boynton we give fewer and quieter study halls and a trip to France this summer. To Mrs. McGuinness, Mrs. Leonard, and Miss Mcl-lugh we give a year's supply S Qi. -1 L ' of ready-made sandwiches and an automatic dish- S V1 D 74 I 4,4 lgw of 47 'VN wavy, iw. -'K ex P s pcpk, ,...-ll- washer, and to the janitors, bigger and better waste- baskets for the cafeteria. Larry Mitchell's ingenuity and wolfishness we give, with fear and trembling, to Larry Tuck. Upon Mary Lou MacWilliam we bestow Marion Spector's wardrobe. We leave Brenda Bussey's tennis talent to Miss Tobin and her athletic prowess to Nancy Olsen. Lorraine Brown's dignity is given to Natalie Derau and Marilyn Bready's popularity, to Nancy Parker. To the leading lady in next year's senior play we relinquish Nan Graham's charm together with a ten- cent box of cough drops. Jackie Kiely's pep and enthusiasm go to the Cheer Club, while Martha Hol- combis go to Jean Flannery. To Judy Shriver we leave Anne Grant's title of Girl Most Likely to Succeed plus Pat Cove,s knowledge of Latin. We surrender Beanzie Winter's good looks to Paul Arvid- son and his hockey penalties to Bruce Austin. To Ray Moloney we bequeath Buddy Edney's Most Am- bitious and Most Likely to Succeed titles and- just as important-his report cards.

ZISKA: Yes, Flezwick, time is fleeting. I'll call the genie now-are you there? fknoflz, knockj. I see you are! What do you have to tell me? Oh! There is a refuge for disappointed old maids run by Peggy Ryan, who is doing a booming business. Up to the present date her two star boarders are Joanne Kiely and Marian Rafferty. 1171076 11110011- ingj. I feel a cold, cold wind! I see the famed explorer, Lorrie Nee, who recently rediscovered the North Pole, beside her Arctic Drive-In. It boasts many novel improvements, including Lois Niemann, the richest dental hygienist in Alaska. Millionaires Bob Foss, John Cressey and Adelia De- Martino, in an honest endeavor to spend some of the money they have accumulated through the past ten years, have rented the U.S.S. Nantasket and are currently chugging up to the Yukon, where they will be met by the world-famous travelers, Carol Sestito, Francis Hogan, Carol Johnson, and Mildred Matarazzo, who have come across Canada in a dog sled to greet them. FLEZXVICK: Ziska darling, let me ask the genie how many of our classmates are now working for Uncle Sam. Appear, O genie, and give me the lowdown. flZl10l'k1lIg1. I see the U. S. Marine Corps, the best branch of the service, being held together single-handed by Sgt. Beanzie', Winters. Also, three Dedham gals, Shirley Richardson, Mal Sullivan, and Joan Starr--all generals-are really running things in the Air Force. They are now taking great pleasure in giving orders to privates Ed White andl Fred Findlen, two top-notch grease monkeys. fN10l'l' knoflzingj. Now I see the Navy, its rank and file strongly supported by many brave, bold, brawny Dedham men-Herbert John- son, Russell Trefethen, and last, but not least, the double-trouble boys, the Johns, Hurst and Crawford.

She's now known as The Blonde Bomb Shell, lady wrestler extraordinary. Ah! but the lure of the canvas has not attracted Barbara Riley 0 nor Rose Marie Olivett. They have remained in New York as successful Mitchell Models. NVhat .1 nice racket Larry has! The picture changes. Now I see Katherine Maida and Stephanie Muirhead, two student nurses, laughing gaily as they practice their newly learned technique on Jimmy Aspell, the trapeze artist who is currently with the Bar- num 8t Bailey Circus. .

Nan Graham and Sonia Downey have mar- ried restaurateurs and are staying home taking care of their offsprings while their husbands cook spaghetti. Mary White, Jimmie Giunchetto, Art Gagnon, and Anna Guardabascio have all married movie stars and have enough children to start a baseball team that would put the Dodgers to shame. Meanwhile, Ruth Ewald has selected as her shining star, the great Eddie-you-know-who. Faith Conroy, Sue Grearson, and Margie Brueggc- man have all married wealth and may be seen any afternoon at the Sheraton Plaza, while their hus- bands playthe stock market. Jane York, Frances Sullivan, Eleanor Sundlberg, Marian Spector, and Helen Pike are married and have set the world's record for quadruplets. FLEZXVICK: I see many service men's wives- ,lacky Kiely, who divides her time between her hfteen kids and that handsome Air Force man, and Nancy Rawley, who is married to a five-star gen- eral and living in luxury with her husband and four children on a plantation in Virginia.

Virginia Luke, Ann McKeown, Laura Thibault, Marilyn Chamberlain, and Margaret Scardocci are keeping the home fires burning while they wait for their husbands, who are diving for the gold believed to be buried in the Charles River directly behind Moseley's. Charlie Valenza is retired from the Marines and he and his beautiful blonde wife are now honeymooning in Bermuda. FLEZXVICK: Joe Teti and Tom Yonker, after float- ing around the Caribbean Sea, soaking up the sun- shine, have finally married Florida oranges and are now raising little tangerines. ZISKA: james Dickson, I-larry Altobello, and Carlo Montisano are stationed in Egypt with the Foreign Legion. There, across the sands goes Pat Cove on a camel, carrying her Latin book and a thermos bottle of water. She is starting out on a trip across the Sahara to translate the inscriptions on the pyramids, while Angela Erasmi a top-flight psychiatrist, is psychoanalyzing her en route to discover why she is doing this. FLEZWICK: The crystal grows dim! All seems dark and gruesome. XVhy, it's Scollay Square and there are Joseph Maida and Ann I-Iassey in their tailor shop. They have more orders for loud sport shirts than they can handle. fkrzorleingj. Now appears Dicky Hunt, who has opened a lashing resort in Siberia, and there is Albert Tate, tossing bales of money away at the Raynham Race Track. ZISKA: This must be Carmella Antognetti, piloting a coal barge between Siam and the Fiji Islands, and here is Carl Nilsson, a revenue oihcer in the back- woods of Kentucky. How fast the crystal changes. FLEZXVICK: Bertil Wickberg, living in a hut in Hawaii, is raising apples, while Cy Sullivan is dig- ging for uranium in Mexico. Michael Siakotos, vacationing in Ecuador, has Francis Senkel, Wal- ter Mahoney, and Peter Paige as his traveling com- panions. Eleanor Anderson has a contract with the Metropolitan Opera.

Yankeeis star pitcher, being offered the job of managing the Red Sox. Here's Arthur Eilertson, the best commercial artist in New York, painting Petty girls, especially beau- tiful blue-eyed blondes. Big Ed Donovan is still trying to figure out who Sue Scott was. Donald Hanson and Jimmy Christian are still working on the blue prints for Jim's fabulous fruit farm, and there is someone else beside Jimmy-why of course, it's Harvey! FLEZWICK: LeRoy Grant, poor boy, finds it difli- cult to stay in one place too long. He is now hiking across the Himalayas to set up a tea plan- tation in China. Oh-oh! There's J. Kenneth Stuke, inspector of motor vehicles, up by the Windmill, passing out a ticket to Franny Bedard for doing 125 in his jaguar. ZISKA: I see a beautiful cemetery-so well kept! And there's Billy McCarthy, getting a tan out in the fresh air, digging. Here,s a successful man! Buddy Edney, who is working in Bob Ericsson's flower shop, seems contented picking the petals off daisies. Oh well, some people are so easy to please! ILEZXVICK: Now, through the haze, comes a pic- ture of .1 busy newspaper plant. It's the Johnson Press, and there is Hendrick hiring secret snoopers Donny Brown and Richard Kamp to get the latest gossip. I see the front page of his paper with a large ad for Mal Breadyls Dance Class for Men Only. She is featuring the bunny hop and the Charleston in one easy lesson, and her pupils, Dominic DiMartino and Donald Goddard, seem quite content. ZISKA: I see a long journey for some one in a Eastern-Come-At-Your-Own-Risk airplane with Rita Hardy as the charming hostess and Pete Gagliard giving instructions to prospective pas- sengers in the fine art of parachute jumping. And now I see Father Alfred Winshman, SJ., as the pastor of a large parish in Texas. FLEZWICK: qlfillli knoclzingj. Oh, there is bad news tonight! Hereis the Dedham Court House and Eleanor O'Leary, Clerk of Court, is investigating the serious case of Martha Holcomb. It seems she's being sued by Claire Scotton because one of the puppies from her dog farm found its way into Claire's hen house and caused chaos among the chickens. fuzorv knorfeiugl. She will be defended by Phil Stathe, graduate of Harvard Law School. ZISKA: Here are palm trees in southern California and here is the Hamn-Wacky School. It is run by Evelyn, who teaches the elementary grades, and Jacky. who terrorizes retarded young athletes into learning the fundamentals of football and track. FLEZWICK: The picture flutters. No wonder- there is Vychinsky talking to the United Nations and there is Anne Grant, official interpreter, trying to control her temper as she translates his non- sense. ZISKA: Whoosh! There went Robert Bayard in his 42 latest racing automobile, designed by that one-and- only maker of things other than noise, Bobby Emery. There are two more veteran racers-John Sugrue and Dicky Leary, competing in the Mobiloil Economy run through the maze at New Pond. flllljfl' knoflzingj. Now ain't this something? Florence Cappa has opened a camp for Girls With Good-looking Brothers Only, at Look-in Lake. Across the lake at the pavilion are Pat King and Irene Carroll, swooning over the latest Frank Gomes' dance record. And here's a roller rink owned by Thomas Watson. What a sad sight! Free-stylist Lee Edgerly is desperately try- ing to teach David Whittaker the fundamentals D of skating-standing up! FLEZXVICK: Ah, I see still more entertainment I-Iere's the -Ieepers Creepers act starring Joe Fulginiti on the accordion and Dicky Lowe's danc- ing feet. They are being featured at the I-Iigh-Hat on the Charles, owned by Franny Donovan and John johnson, who, by the way, were former ballet dancers. ZISKA: Now isn't this nice? Arthur Cook has de- vised a system for drawing pictures on the ceiling while lying comfortably in bed and Clarence Bur- ton is working on a way to erase them. FLEZNVICK: Lorraine Brown and Brenda Bussey are acting in the radio serial She Gets Her Man, a program originated by Maryfrances Burke, who, apparently, is still around' looking. ZISKA: frlagyfllrlzir' krzockilzgj. Those must be tom- toms. Calvin XVilcox, after a trip through the African jungles, has decided to refrain from danger and stick to his tiger taming. The tigers are being supplied by Stephen Meloski, who owns a little jungle in the Manor, and by Donald Forster, who owns a larger one in Riverdale. Transporting these savage monsters falls on the shoulders of Billy Fiola. Could that be why he's got white hair? FLEZWICK: And there goes Darlene Huntington, parading down the main street of Bangor, showing LQ?

Here's David Cleary, spending all his time at Lincoln Downs, and, as I live and breathe, that veterinarian feeding aspirin to that two-year-old is Donald XVeber. FLEZXVICK: Mary Carey must be very happy, for I see she's vacationing in the Adirondacks with her husband. Their log cabin, built by Curtis Dow, has been decorated by the fabulous Marion Ang tonelli. ISKA: I see now-lots of snow-and lying on it are Donald jenkins and Robert Hamilton. They are at Grearson's North Conway Ski School and Doug has been trying to teach them to take high- jumps without skis. No wonder Ed Short, at his nearby trading post, sells such quantities of aspirin and pillows. ITLEZWICK: Our crystal ball is beginning to get hazy, but before it goes completely we just have time to see that Charles Obin owns a store ex- clusively for women. ZISKA: I guess we've finally reached the end-oh no, wait! The genie says there is one more thing. Phyllis Richardson and Bobbie Sloan, completely frustrated after writing this colossal prophecy, have fled to a desert island to live out their days in quiet retirement.

'IV1 r Sflllfellf Ciflllllflf This year the Student Council, guided by Miss Margaret Boynton, undertook many projects. Besides devoting itself to the annual selling of bookcovers, the circula- tion of no-damage pledges, the playing of the juke box, and the providing of as- semblies, the Council started .1 no-cheating campaign, and sold D.H.S. pennants, letters, and discarded books. Its main project, the Student Council-Mirror no-cheating campaign, stirred up much attention. Pledges were signed and posters put up in conspicuous places in study halls, classrooms, and bulletin boards. Elizabeth W.1tts, writer of Almost ZIU, wrote an article in the Bosfou Globeg and the Mirror printed many stories to contribute to the success of the campaign. Through the efforts of the Student Council, many educational and entertaining assemblies were enjoyed by the student body. Among these were Wfilliam Shadtfenk penetrating analysis of the future for today's youth, Kurt Singer's Wflwew Arr WU Going In Foreign: Affairs, Selom Risk's experiences as a Syrian Yankee, a marimba duo, the acrobatic Lancasters, and a series of monthly vocational meetings. The council sponsored the highly successful Spook,s Spin in October to raise money for future assemblies. The oiiicers for this year were Herbert johnson, president, John Bamberry, vice- president, Nancy Parker, secretaryg Marilyn Bready, treasurerg ,Ioan Maertins, head traiiic marshallg and Marilyn Bready, Anne Grant, Herbert Johnson, and Claire Scotton, marshalls. K To the left are those, not on the Student Council, who helped the marshalls pri-- serve order in the corridors. Leaving classes at the hrst bell they scurried to such dangerous posts as the freshman corridor and kept traihc confusion to a minimum. The LIifl1'z1l'X' Co1f11z'z'f The Library Council started at full speed the first few days of school and kept up this pace throughout the year. Large numbers of books from the Dedham Public Library were circulated, subscriptions to seven magazines-Holiifavy, Sllllllllftlvj' El'l'IIf1l1Q Posf, Readers Digrsf, Ailanfir Moulbly, fVl'1l'A1l't'l'k, Ll'dffJt'l'lIt't'lQ, and Guide Posh-- were maintained, and a highly successful Makin' Merry dance was held in May. The receipts from this will be used for supplies and subscriptions next year. As this is written we are told that next year our library will be enlarged to in- clude the 210 study hall. We hope that nothing interferes with this and that next year Miss Elizabeth Guell will have the large, well equipped library she deserves. W. V 'J 9.

'l'f1r ljfrllllzlflil' Cfnff Fewer long meetings and more short ones was the general plan established for the Dramatic Club this year by the 1952 otlicers. Betty ,Io Graham was president of rhe club, Ann Carey, vice presidentg Elfreda Senning, secretary, and Ruth Longland. treasurer. Miss Doris Grant, able coach of senior plays, again served as the club'- adviser. Casts chosen from the club worked on two one-act plays- When Shakespeard. Ladies Meet and Sparkin', both of whch were presented at club meetings. A group from the club also enjoyed .1 visit to Boston University, where they watched a programiof one-act plays. 'l'!1i' Sjflhlflillg Clflllfdif Each and every contestant in the annual Rotary Speaking Contest on February 7 turned in a stellar performance. The three senior finalists, of which two were win- ners, were especially noteworthy. They were Carl Rubinstein with the startling The Last Mile , Calvin XVilcox with the side-splitting Baldies They Kill Me , and James Christian with the poignant The American XVay. As Rubinstein and Chris- tian were both entrants in the dramatic category the competition was especially keen. Rubinstein was finally judged best, however. Calvin Wilcox, impersonating a radio announcer too prone to giving out with lengthy commercials, was a comparatively easy winner in the humorous category. An innovation was introduced into the speaking contest this year. Original compositions were used for the orations. Brian O'Kane with The Atom for Peace or Pieces was the winning contestant here. All seniors who have participated any year in this speaking contest, whether winners or not, are eligible to receive the Dedham Rotarian Club Scholarship at Graduation. 11,111 r SPL'!!1'lIg' Cfzilffzjbiolla' Two new spelling cups were added to the Dedham High School trophy case this year. Lois Niemann, the 'senior class spelling champion, worked her way up to the top prize, a trip to Washington and New York-all expenses paid-by first winning the homeroom and grade championships in high school, the semi-finals and' finals against pupils of her own grade, and then the grand finals with the four grade champions at Faneuil Hall. The winning word appellant was followed by laby- rinth , which clinched the championship. Lois has been the representative from her class in the Hc'ralil-Trazrlvr Spelling Contest every year since she entered Dedham High School. She was a finalist in her freshman, junior and senior years, a semi-finalist in her sophomore year, and tht- grand finalist in her senior year. Lois is the second pupil from Dedham High to be grand-final winner. Brian O'Kane, the junior class champion of our school, stood up until next ta last in the eleventh grade finals in Faneuil Hall, misspelling the word trousseau . Both John Lennon, the sophomore winner, and Paul Blume, the freshman con- tender, went through the semi-finals, but were defeated in the finals. 2? a, , :iv q,, 'Aw M, ' 50 ,XYUQLQ Mwfm.

Bw' Cllr-ti cm, As this goes to press the school has heard the voices of the Boys' Clee Club only through closed auditorium doors during X periods on Thursdays. They are scheduled to sing before the public on Class Day, and the school is looking forward to this. Director Samuel Beattie hopes-and we echo him-that this organization will continue to grow so that it can take part in more school events during the coming years. Then perhaps we can all share the pleasure the boys in the club have had in their rehearsals. 'Hia Ol'I'!Ic'a'fl'zl Led by Maestro Samuel Beattie, the orchestra has serenaded us at assemblies all year, and also at the Speaking Contest and the Senior Play. W'e are looking forward to their playing at Class Day and, of course, at Graduation. Orchestra members Betty Muise and Norma Davis participated in the All-State Orchestra, which played at Framingham, and two members, Mary Lou M.1cWilliani and Christine Gorman, were chosen to take part in the Massachusetts Music Educa- tors' Festival held at Natick. Frank Gomes, as student conductor, and Thomas NVatson, Edward Donovan and David W'hittaker were the senior stalwarts this year. 'l'f1e Brill!! The Dedham High Band, another Samuel Beattie production, enjoyed a very active 1951-S2 season. Besides playing at all our football games, at home and away, the band also trekked to Fenway Park to participate in Boston University's High School Day. They played for Battery A of the 317th Gun Battalion's relocation ceremony at the Legion House in November, and they joined with 3S other high school bands in the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Festival in Middleboro on May 10. Oiiicers for the year were Frank Gomes, president, Thomas XVatson, vice-presi- dent, Stephanie Muirhead, secretary, Richard Patterson, treasurerg and Frank Gomes, student conductor.

Carl Rubinstein did a grand job with the sports page, aided of course by Nicholas Browne, the frosh sensation, Calvin XVilcox's Umfer flu' .Sfmzwra was read from start to finish by all burly athletes. Our two talented cartoonists, Nliriam NVood and Brian O'Kane were cleverly original. XVithout the invaluable aid of a very talented group of juniors the Mirror might not, perhaps, have been so successful. Barbara Gula could often be seen dashing madly around on Monday nights looking, along wth Chris, Mac, jill, and Carey for stray bits of copy. The typists, pictured here, were also immensely helpful. They worked long hours and complained only moderately at the staffs horrible writing.

On Memorial Day they sang Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and at Graduation, You,ll Never W'alk Alone in four parts. The Glee Club helps prospective singers train their voices and it also gives a background of poise and experience. The Club practices once a week and the only complaint is that this is too seldom. As the Glee Club has always done its job well, it is a part of D. H.

C ffgzl fcls' Over at the left are the seniors who were selected as delegates during the past year. Chosen as representative to Girls' State was Susan Grearson. She was one of several girls who were interviewed by the Legion Auxiliary, and they chose her to attend the session at Bridgewater State Teachers' Colle fe, from Iune 15 through 22. Sue was elected to the Governor's Council there. Sent to Boys' State, at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, were: James fu . 21 Aspell, who was elected to the Board of Health, was a building inspector and also a member of the election committee: James Christian, who was a Representative, was on the Town Paper, the Town Committee, and was appointed by the Governor to the Fish Preserve Committee: and Leon Edney, who was nominated Town Clerk, and a member of the Governor's Council. They attended from june 21-29. D.A.R. Good Citizen Joan Maertins, who was elected by the faculty from the three girls chosen by the seniors, attended a convention at the Copley Plaza on March 20. A certificate will be presented to her at graduation. Good Government Day Representative, Phyllis Richardson, who was chosen by the student body to represent them at the State House on March 14, was also a guest at a dinner at the Surrey Room of the Hotel Touraine following the gov- ernment day exercises. C11 ll for R eff Cross The Junior Red Cross under the guidance of their adviser, Miss Margaret Boynton, did a splendid job this year. After an advertising campaign for funds, the members collected money from the different homerooms, and soon had enough LO buy articles for Red Cross boxes for needy children in both the United States and Europe. The items in these boxes consisted of soap, socks, crayons, pencils, tooth brushes, face cloths and toys. Claire Scotton and Beverly Downing were Dedham High's representatives to the Red Cross headquarters in Boston. Meetings were held once a month and there Claire and Beverly discussed the different aspects of the Junior Red Cross with members from other schools. There is practically no limit to the services a Junior Red Cross chapter can perform in a high school. The two things most needed are members and money. The members of the Junior Red Cross hope that the school will be as generous in the future as it has been in the past and that more of the pupils will be willing to work for a cause as worthy as the Red Cross. Pfzofoglvlpfri' Cfzffz The Photography Club started off its successful year electing oiiicers. Thomas Corn, a freshman, was elected president, Marjorie Brueggeman, a senior, vice-presi- dent, and Jeanne Gerrior, a junior, treasurer. The club dues were set at 75 cents. This year a special project was the selling of Photography Club Christmas cards at various price ranges. Two hundred cards were sold and a proiit of sith was made. This helped to compensate for the fact that the club had to cancel its plans for a dance, as the gym floor had been badly buckled by last summer's wet weather. As the year ends, the members of the Photography Club wish to thank Mr. Arnold Borofsky for his guidance and helpful suggestions which made their year a big success. -1 TT ,INA it 43 l 'Q 2 C47 KV' lien The SCllI.0l' Pfm' A warm story full of laughter, understanding, and sympathy was the 1952 Senior Play- Good Housekeep- ing by Williani Cleery. It told of a youthful and attrac- tive woman who feared she was no longer needed by her family and of her husband, who, at first against his will, became a crusading candidate for governor. The leading roles-those of Mr. ami' Mrs. Burma! -were handled with professional skill by James Christian and Nan Graham. As the president of a state university and his wife who dabbled in psychology, they had long and diflicult parts, which they filled to the complete satis- faction of the audience. Their two teenage daughters were charmingly por- trayed by Marian Spector and Jane York, whose relations with their boy-friends fLeon Edney as a newspaper re- porter and Richard Leary ag gl photographerj furnished much of the play's delightfully natural humor. Calvin Wilcox was superb as lim O'Ncil, the crooked politician whose machine Mr. Bzzrnvlf finally decided to break, while Joan Maertins as the maid who took all the household responsibilities from Mrs. Bzzrwff was very entertaining. One of the big moments of the play came when Peggy Ryan, as the university's drum majorette, and Brenda Bussey, Florence Cappa, Ann Hassey, Mildred Matarazzo, and Martha Holcomb, as cheerleaders, carried the protesting Mr. B11rm'fl to a political rally. The real success of the play was due of course to the long hours and fine skill which Miss Doris Grant devoted to coaching the cast. Credit should also go to Calvin Wilcox, Thomas Yonker, Jacqueline Kiely, Rita- marie O'Leary, and Lois Niemann for selecting the play, to Frank Gomes for his patient work as an understudy and to Carol Sestito for being an alert-though fortu- nately not needed-prompter.

Martha Holcomb, Ann Hassey. A large part of the playys financial success was du: to the efforts of Miss Mary Sweeny, who directed the selling of advertising for the program. Florence Cappa and Richard Leary were the program managers, and Ann Hassey, Marion Rafferty, Peggy Ryan, and Karl Nilsson were the ace salesmen. Herbert Johnson, our class treasurer, handled the complicated job of selling tickets, while Charles Valenza, Lawrence Mitchell, and Bob Emery spent their free periods constructing the scenery. To the teachers and pupils who helped with the properties and costumes and to all others who contributed to the play's success the Class of 1952 is sincerely grateful. in .jf Lixwfsp W 6 ill gg vi ,t ., :Li K Y' Tae: ff ,- 1 ' l 1 ,4 4 3 2-H4-4 if!-fr 114 J 'ei' ,f 'f fi' 5222 , , f ' gfziw T El lKliIf x 'ng J I., +153 4, L .- ,Ja ' . 4-2-4 O ' ,rw-f5',' - Y W ,,. 1 I A 'L -V. . .9 I, ' ,Q -,YP fv Q, f di f:i4,f'QgLg's . , 3 .153 H: I, 1 'fnzfks' ' . : A - Ti ,wish 'fjlgg afi us, .

Fooffmff Vlihllll Facing a rugged ten-game schedule, the crimson and gray underwent vigorous spring and August practice, but early in the fall Co-Capt. Johnson was taken seriously sick with yellow jaundice and the team suffered accordingly for five days. Dedham lost to the defending Class A champions XVeymouth in a game that ended the rivalry between the two schools. The South Shore powerhouse Braintree, .1 new- comer to our schedule, defeated us 19-7. North Quincy repeated the one-point jinx victory, 19-18. We Finally broke into the winning column, downing Needham 6-0. A 12-0 victory over Framingham followed the next Saturday. Milton won a hard fought decision. Natick won another close one, 18-14. Andy Scafati's and Butch Songin's Norwood eleven, revengeful after last year's 31-6 loss, stunned Dedham with a IZ-0 victory. Although this left Dedham with more defeats than victories, all the scores were close and the team's play colorful.

Coach Lyman Avery's boys came through in the 35th annual State Meet to take top honors in Class C with 40 points. Dedham boys placed at least once in every event. Sophomore Paul Baker won the mile in 4:4l:8. Dave W'hittaker took a fourth for another point in the mile. Tom XWatson ran the 600 in l:l7:7 to place first in his event. Bill Fiola ran third with l:2l:3. Jim Giunchetto outsprinted stiff competition to take first in the 300. John Mahan ran through the 45 yard hurdles in 6:3 for another first. Paul Arvidson took a second in the hurdles and later took .1 second in the high jump. joe Tannetta grabbed second in the shot put. Tom Yonker pulled out a third in a good 1000 yard run. Don Forster managed to snare fourth for another Dedham point. The Dedham relay team of Forster, Fiola, Wtitson, and Cwiunchetto set a new Class C record of 2:30:6 to win the relay. In the Metropolitan League, Dedham wound up third, losing two heartbreakers to Concord and Malden Catholic. For the first time in many years, Dedham beat XVeymouth-in an exhibition track meet by the score of Sl-26. At the Bowdoin Meet Dedham finished sixth.

After gaining a spot in the first division of the playoffs, Dedham ended up in sixth place with three wins, six losses, and one tie. Dedham opened its season with a 3 to 1 victory over a promising Walkeheld sextet. The team was defeated hy Lexington and Malden, but rebounded to upset a strong Brookline squad, 3 to 2. The last game of the regular season preceding the playoffs was an important one for Dedham, as they were facing Somerville and neefed to tie to move into the hrst division. After trailing 2 to 0, the red and gray, led by CCHICI' XValter Nee, fought back to gain the necessary tie. It was at this game that Nee was chosen as the Traveler Star-of-the-W'eek. Nee and Ferris shared the team's leading scorer honors with seven points apiece. Dedham was represented on the first squad All Stars by Wgllter Nee, while Ferris and Xlffinters were chosen for the second squad.

Bizyfaffnzff Tmzzz When the 1952 Bay State League opened, Coach Lofts McGuire was in the unenviable position of making a basketball squad out of two veterans and the remnants of a rather unsuccessful second team. Coach McGuire built his team around the two boys who had seen varsity service, Capt. Joseph Teti and Clement Fitzhenry. Bengt johnson, the 6-foot-3-inch center, was used to good advantage in the pivot spot and jim Giunchetto and Tom Bryan filled out the other two positions. Boys who saw limited service this year were Gilbert Fryklund, Ronald Glover, August David, and John Whitty. Later the more promising members of the second team were brought up to acquire some experience for next year. The rather dismal season record of 2-12 is sure to be improved next year, as all but Capt. Teti and Giunchetto are to return.

Bf1,vef'mff Tamil As the 1952 Dedham baseball season drew around, the prospects of a strong D.H.S. , I' team were speculated upon. Seven lettermen were returning from last year's squad, along with three other boys who had seen limited service. Last year's team had a rather dismal 4-10 record. Capt. XVilliam Sanford, Fred McKee, and John Ahearn were the standouts on the '51 team. Forster, Teti, and Rubinstein were the seniors remaining from that teamg Forster a centerfielder, Teri a catcher, and Rubinstein, pitcher. Sizeable underclass help was received from Glover, Fuchs, Ferris, Putnev, Bamberry, Brown, Civita and Fabiano. Features of Dedham's season were Putney's two-hit, 7-1 triumph and Rubinstein's three-hit, 17-0 triumph over Xvalpole, in which he hitless for six innings.
