Upon leaving high school we find ourselves with our full share of responsibilities before us. Our first duty, toward our country, is to see that this dreadful conflict be brought to as speedy a conclusion as possible. However, even when this end is accomplished, a larger and more important responsibility lies before us: namely, the obligation we have to our loved ones who have died to protect our freedom, to rebuild this war-torn world, and to bring a permanent peace to all nations. To this huge but not unsurmountable task we, the class of 1945, humbly dedicate ourselves. As we pledge ourselves to execute this promise, the famous and inspiring words of Emerson come back to us: So nigh is grandeur to our dust; So near is God to man: When duty whispers low. Thou must .

Now in 1 945 these difficulties have become even more acute. Materials were so scarce that for a while it was feared that a different and cheaper cover would have to be substituted for the regular one. However, after many conferences with the printer, we were informed that there would be a limited quantity of practically the same material on hand. Because of these shortages our book had to go to press in the middle of March, fully one month earlier than the deadline of last year. Even though this early deadline prevented the last minute coverage of school events, we feel that this edition of the REDJACKET will afford many happy memories of our high school days. We wish to thank very sincerely the members of the faculty who helped us over the rough spots and without whose advice this book could not have been published. We are especially grateful to the following: Miss Elizabeth T. Howes, our faculty adviser, who worked endlessly and tirelessly with us on our problems and whose cheerful advice was always forthcoming: Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter and the art department for the long hours they spent on the general makeup and artistic arrangement of the book: Miss Nellie V. Donovan, past adviser to the REDJACKET, whose wide experience proved of inestimable value to us. In spite of all the difficulties which we had to confront. we of the Class Book Board feel that this edition of the REDJACKET gives a clear and accurate portrayal of our three years in high school. We hope that in later years when you, the class of '45, have a few minutes of leisure time to relive old memories, this edition of the REDJACKET will bring back to you many pleasant ones.—Philip Curtis 10 - JOAN McWF.ENEY Business Manager MARY PADYKULA Art Editor FLORENCE MENARD Assistant Business Manager FACULTY First row. left to right: F.

Principal s A4essage Class of 1945 T AM writing this message on January 19. the last day of your mid-year examinations. I sincerely hope that all of you will pass with flying colors in all of your subjects and that for this annual R.EDJACKET message. my home work in English. I may at least be given a “C—” for the quarter. I am conscious of the fact that this year you are taking your tests with unwonted seriousness. All week the weather has been cold and inclement and the ground is covered with snow and ice. In spite of these conditions, the attendance all week has been very satisfactory and there are very few students who are absent from these important tests. Indeed, I find that there are some here who might very well be at home because of ill-health. They have had the courage to put first things first. Among the seniors this feeling of responsibility toward the obligations of school and of life is even more in evidence than it is in the case of the juniors and the sophomores. These days of stress and times of strife have made youth sober and full of long. long thoughts. Neither a poet nor a prophet is needed to stress the fact that “life is real, life is earnest . For a score or more of our senior boys these tests constitute their last school tasks. Within a few days they will be in uniform, and high school for them will be only a cherished memory. We who stay after them can only bid them—- Good luck and Godspeed! Our thoughts will be with them and our prayers will be for them. Of these classmates the Class of 1945 will be enduringly proud. God hasten their return. To all the members of this graduating class I extend my congratulations and good wishes. May life bring you money and power good t store . May it bring you peace, contentment, and happiness. May you cling to your ideals. May you keep the faith. May your dreams come true. Very sincerely yours, Henry J. Winters, Principal 13 First row. left to right: A. Curry. B. Caffrey. N. Bauman. R. Barnes. P. Dias. C. Conlon. E. Brown. Second row: E. Bandieri. D. Bartoloni. C Bauer. M. Brown. R. Chatlerton. P.

To them goes our gratitude for the patience and perseverance they have shown throughout the three years of our high school course. We are graduating in a period of great turmoil and strife. The great world conflict, which is now in its sixth year, has affected in divers ways the very lives of each and every one of us. Already many from our class have left to join in the fight for freedom, and before long more will follow. They are remembered and respected by us all. Whatever our part may be in this war. we must do it well, for our aim is victory, peace, and security. These cannot be attained by idleness: for them we must work, fight—yes. and even die. Today’s younger generation is tomorrow's hope. With us lies the building of the future. I know that we will face it with courage, determination, and confidence.—Kachig Boghossian 16 — vV'-r.'

Citizenship Award, which is given on the basis of dependability, service, leadership, patriotism, and scholarship. The ideal girl is chosen by the girls of the Senior Class and the faculty. The boy is chosen by a local D. A. R. representative from a list of names submitted by the principal. This year's winners, the most outstanding citizens at East, are Eleanor Ruth Niebuhr and Kachig Boghossian. East is proud of you. -§(51 KACHIG BOGHOSSIAN 1943-1 944 Class H istory SEPTEMBER—We entered the portals of East and started our one-year sentence at hard labor. Gosh, do upper classmen have to be so scornful of poor little unsuspecting “sophs? October—We learned that the 1942 REDJACKET had won national honors. The National Scholastic Press Association awarded the dassbook a superior rating. May we do as well!! NOVEMBER—We elected the following class officers: President—Kachig Boghossian: Vice-President—Claire Frechette: Secretary— Therese Houston: Treasurer — Raymond Fuller. (We tied our newest city rival-— 14-14). DECEMBER—We sophs starred in our own Dramatic Society's presentation of Home for Christmas at the Christmas assembly. Congratulations, cast. JANUARY—Our first mid-year exams. We never did quite recover from the shock. The Technical Radio course was added to our overburdened curriculum. Lady and gentleman commandos limped around the corridors. February — ONE WEEK'S VACATION. NO HOMEWORK. NO TEACHERS. Thanks. George Washington. MARCH—Everything, including the Hi-Light went green on the 17th. Some weary souls burned the midnight oil figuring their income tax. Question: To pay or not to pay? APRIL—Easter vacation. Hi-Light edited a joke edition on the 1st. canceling '44's Junior Prom. May—We had our first chance to dress in our best bib and tucker and trip the light fantastic at the Junior Prom. What a lovely evening (sigh). JUNE—East was awarded Treasury citation for topping our War Bond quota. We were free (until September). September—Back again. We proudly held our heads up and looked disdainfully on lowly sophs. OCTOBER—The majority of students were employed in part-time jobs. We got off to a flying start on our War Bond sales. In three weeks we had raised $16,284.90. NOVEMBER—We elected our Junior Class officers: President—Louis Rankowitz: Vice-President—Margaret Eatough: Secretary— Therese Houston: Treasurer — Raymond Fuller. Our football team ended an undefeated season by downing our city rivals. DECEMBER—The Dramatic Society presented Arsenic and Old Lace. Peter (Boris Karloff) Little won acclaim as the villain.

I lie Student Council AT its first meeting of the year the Student Council of 1945 elected the following officers? Peter Little, president: Kachig Bog-hossian, vice-president: Margaret Eatough. secretary: and James Meiklejohn. treasurer. A Memorial Service, dedicated to the boys from East who had died in the war, was held in 1944. Immediately after the program two honor rolls, made by the art department and containing the names of twenty-seven more service men. were hung in the main lobby. On January 19, immediately after the last examination, a dance was held for the boys of our class who had to leave for the Armed Forces before the end of the year. The music was furnished by some of the dance bands (recordings). and varietes of pop were served. During a short intermisson several boys and girls provided excellent entertainment for the audience. The presence of so many students at this affair was gratifying, and evinced the school spirit typical of East. Although the activities of this year's Student Council have been limited to a certain extent by the war, we feel that you will agree with us when we say that our classmates in service have earned the right to all the recognition and honors accorded them. —Louise M.

Radi 10 Club THE Radio Club has been rightfully credited with many achievements this year. At the head of our club were the following officers: Peter Little, the president: Russell Kinne, vice-president: James Meiklejohn. treasurer: and Mary Healy. secretary. They, with the aid of the members of the club, carried out their work whole-heartedly during the year to make this school organization a worthwhile one. Just as it has been before, the annual roller-skating party was a huge success, supplying fun for everyone and enabling us to store money for future activities. Next on our list of events was the Fire Prevention Program which the students of the Radio Workshop, an outstanding branch of the club, presented over W.F.C.I. Later, over the same station, the Workshop presented a broadcast at the request of the R. I. Finance Committee for the Sixth War Loan Drive, entitled Help Yourself. This skit stressed the importance of purchasing war bonds and stamps to assure the kind of world about which boys and girls dream. Last, but not least, we presented our radio club assembly in the school audi- torium with Peter Little as master of ceremonies. Excerpts from the program of all comedians of the air comprised the feature, which was toned down by a serious note— the presentation of a patriotic sketch bringing to mind the wartime responsibilities of students today. We re boasting, and what better reason could we have! One of our outstanding members was appointed an official announcer on the staff of W.F.C.I. His name? Peter Little, of course! On Easter Tuesday the club members, together with those of the West Radio Club, made their annual trip to Boston and visited the schools of radio training: also numerous stations where the students had an opportunity to go on the air. In concluding, let me express the sincere hope that the future members of East's Radio Club will spend as many enjoyable hours as we. the graduating members, have realized. We of '45 wish you. future participants in the Radio Club, the best of luck in years to come.—Ruth Barnes - 61 LIBRARY CIRCLE Fir H row. left to right'. L. Grocottr. K Alizzi. V Err .. « Btlgard.

Library Circle HAVING the largest membership in its four-year history, the Library Circle continued to live up to its motto, “Service.” Each day a teacher or student was ably assisted by one of Miss Carlin’s trained helpers. Stamping books, typing new cards, using the card catalog, and straightening the books were only a few of their many tasks. Still, the year did not bring all work and no play, because the Circle held parties at Christmas, in the spring, and in June, attended the theater and museums together, and had a general all-round good time.—Elinor Brown W ar Bond and Stamp Cashiers EAST has made all kinds of fine records, but none ranks higher than that of our sale of war stamps and bonds. We must not neglect to praise the faithful cashiers who devote much time to this great cause.

The pre-induction classes such as aeronautics, technical radio, and aviation mechanics have benefited the most from the club's activity by having their courses facilitated by the more rapid method of instruction with the aid of motion pictures.

Dramatic Society Award THREE cheers for the outstanding boy and girl of this year, chosen for scholarship, school spirit, participation in school activities, and character. Each year an award is made on Class Day by the Dramatic Society to the most prominent boy and girl in the Senior Class, provided each is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society. The Senior Class first votes on the boy and girl it wishes to honor. In this way three boys and three girls are selected. The entire faculty now votes, taking into consideration the above qualities. A prize of fifty dollars is given for the advancement of the recipients' education: otherwise it is forfeited to the Dramatic Society Treasury. With pride, the class of 1945 salutes the year’s choice.—Ruth Barnes PHILIP C. CURTIS. JR. RUTH CHATTERTON 74)3— “CHARLEY'S AUNT First row. left to right R. Chatttrton. T. Boddl. M Mealy. R Cullinan.

Bruce Mott played Jack Chesney. an Oxford student and chum of Wykeham and Babberly. Mary Salter enacted the role of Kitty Verdun, the sweetheart of Charles, and the part of Amy Spettigue, the beloved of Jack Chesney. was portrayed by Gloria Patry. Others in the cast were as follows: William Robinson as Colonel Francis Chesney: Irwin Marill as Stephen Spettigue: David- Chrystie as a Farmer: Betsy Cooke as Donna Lucia d'Alvadorez, Charley's aunt whom we had never seen: Joan Berndt as Ela Delahay: Dorothy Bielaska as Maud: and Benjamin Musket as Brassett. Charles Wykeham received a letter from his rich aunt. Donna Lucia, informing him that she was coming to visit him. Charles and his fellow-student at Oxford. Jack Chesney. elated at the opportunity to impress their fiancees with the presence of the affluent lady from South America, invited the girls to tea to meet her: but word soon arrived that Donna would • be unable to pay her intended visit. Aghast at this turn of affairs, the boys finally persuaded Lord Babberly. a role brilliantly played by Peter Little, to take the place of Charley’s aunt during the girls’ visit. From that point on. the rafters rang with laughter as the deep-voiced, cigar-smoking aunt” did her best to charm Kitty and Amy. The play was a tremendous success. Credit is due both actors and stage crew for their eager cooperation. High praise should be given to Miss Flora Curtis, our director, for her ceaseless efforts and expert guidance. The cast are deeply grateful to her. —David Gardner - 7 5 THE STRANGEST FEELING First row. left to right: J. Berndt. J. Mciklcjohn. P. Curiis. F. Kapinos. Second row: E. Wojcik, M. Eatough. B. Cooke.

Tile Xliree O ACCORDING to all reports, the three plays presented by the Dramatic Society on March 2, 1945, were the best group of one-acts ever given on one program. The first play, The Strangest Feeling , was a comedy which started with an argument about intuition between Ethel Pickens (Joan Berndt) and her fiance, Johnny (Jim Meiklejohn). Ethel, who was backed up by her mother (Betsy Cooke), felt” that something was going to happen. Mr. Pickens (Phil Curtis) argued with his wife. The arrival of Louise Collier (Dorothy Bielaska). a dancing teacher who was once an old school chum of Johnny’s, only complicated matters. However. Naomi (Frances Kapinos). Ethel’s leggy fourteen-year-old sister, straightened things out in the end. The audience found many laugh-provoking incidents in Once A Pupil”, which unfolded a plot concocted by Albert Mack and Louis Romano (Fred Thomae and Russell Kinne) to kidnap Harold Stafford (Russ Lane) and his girl friend. The fun began, however, when they discovered that instead of the girl friend they had captured Miss Graham (Carolyn Coutu), a school teacher who once had taught Albert Mack and who later became the teacher of Romano's son. Carolyn won the favor of the audience with lie Act Plays her characterization of a typical, democratic, fifty-ish. but up-to-date-on-affairs school-marm.’’ Although several guns were flourished, peace reigned when the curtain fell. A, A. Milne’s The Boy Comes Home”, judged the best of the three for the evening, presented the problems facing a soldier back from the war. Uncle James (Irwin Marill) tells his wife (Gloria Patry) that he thinks Philip (Peter Little) should join him in the jam business. While waiting for Philip to finish breakfast. Uncle James dozes off and dreams that Philip tells him, at the end of a gunpoint, that he will not join the jam business. Uncle James awakens as Philip returns from his morning meal. Philip cordially accepts his uncle's invitation to become personnel manager in the preserve factory. This play closes with the pair leaving for work, the uncle with some degree of uncertainty. Between plays, during the presentation of a gift and some flowers to Miss Flora S. Curtis, director, it was revealed that she had been working so hard on the productions that she neglected to place her own name on the program. Once again, the presentation of the three one-acts proved to be one of the outstanding events of the season at East. —James Meiklejohn - 77 Behind the Scenes THE most important part of any production. next to the actors themselves, is the stage crew. Although the members are never seen by the audience, their presence behind the scenes is necessary. They are the ones who pull the curtain, arrange the sets, operate the lights, paint the furniture, and perform numerous other tasks necessary to a smooth performance. Members are not chosen indiscriminately. Boys with special aptitudes are selected by the stage manager and are assigned tasks for which they are best suited. If the talents of the selectees are not known, less specialized duties are given them. The manager assembles his group at least a month in advance of the play and makes clear to them the plan of the stage and the methods of procedure. A week before the performance each crew man is appointed to carry out a specific duty—the one for which he will be responsible on the opening night. This system reduces the danger of delays when the play is finally produced. Much credit is due David Grimm, this year's stage manager, now in the Armed Forces, and the following dependable workers: Howard Chase. '47; William Bianchini. '45: David Gardner, '45: Charles Jamieson. '47: Neal Durfee, '46: Norman Bourassa. '46: Edward David. '45: Clyde Taylor. '46: James Cranshaw.

The nine returning veterans gave promise of duplicating their record of the previous season. Ed Carroll. Bud Harrison. Dick Fleury, and Butch’’ Milligan, all starters in the last campaign, returned to their respective positions in the forward wall. A seasoned backfield led by Co-Captain Lou Rankowitz. brilliant triple-threat ace who was unanimously cnosen on the All-State grid team for two concecutive years, remained intact. Together with several newcomers. a formidable eleven was molded under the guidance of Coach Alex Nahigian. In the opening game with Portsmouth. New Hampshire, our team, still unfamiliar with their own new system, emerged from a hard-fought game with a 0-0 score. The following week East High trounced North Providence by a score of 25-13 on the latter's home field. In one of the best games of the entire campaign. East High and Burrillvillc battled to a 13-13 tie. By defeating Rogers of Newport with a score of 13-10 and Mt. St. Charles Academy 27-0, the Red jackets avenged their defeats at the hands of Nashua. New Hampshire (7-0) and Woonsocket (6-0). Perhaps the finest effort of the entire season was the clash between the Exchange Streeters and Nashua, New Hampshire. Facing a highly favored team which had no equal in their section, the Rhode Islanders won the respect and admiration of everyone who witnessed the contest. Unfortunately, the breaks were against the Redjacket invaders as Nashua eked out a 7-0 margin of victory. East High was defeated by West, its city rival, in the last seconds of play by a score of 7-6. The local fans were treated to a thrilling exhibition in the Turkey Day Classic when the Red-and-White of East clashed with the Purple-and-Gold of St. Raphael Academy. When the gun sounded, the score was 20-7 in favor of the Walcott Streeters. However, East's supporters may well be proud of their team's record: although the players were sometimes defeated, they were never outfought.—Robert Rizzardini 84 ) •- BASKETBALL First row. left to fiffhl: B.

The team, under the guiding hand of Coach Art Nooney. turned in an excellent performance in every contest. The first game (an exciting one) was played on December 12 with Woonsocket. Our rivals won by a score of 57 to 38. Our initial victory was wrested from St. Raphael as the Red-and-White piled up a score of 38. while the Purple managed to gain only 34 points. Fitchburg was the second successive team to fall to East's might, for our opponents were able to acquire only 39 points while the Redjackets accumulated 43. The game with West, which is always a fiercely contested event, was no exception this year, and it provided us with a reason to boast. East conquered the cross-the-river rivals 35 to 33. La Salle dealt us a severe blow on our home court the following game by managing to procure 38 points against which we could boast only 35. The Cranston five followed in La Salle's footsteps on January 12 by mercilessly taking the lead and leaving the floor with a score of 41 to our 37. Irked, no doubt, by the thought of two successive defeats, the Easterners took their revenge on Portsmouth. N. H., by piling up a score of 39 and allowing them only 30. De La Salle struggled for a victory with all their might and main the night they met East, and their efforts were rewarded, for they won 46 to 36. Central was the fifth to feel the sting of the Red-and-White hoopsters, for the rival quintet was vanquished 44 to 37. The Class of 1945 is justly proud of East’s achievements on the basketball court. Although all the games were not victories, the sportsmanlike and spirited manner in which they were contended was truly- representative of the way in which East enters all athletic events. We shall point with pride to the admirable record of these athletes who did their utmost to bring honor and glory to our school. Date Opponent E.S. H.S.

Swimming Team THIS season proved to be another successful one for the Red jacket natators. as they won their fourteenth state championship in seventeen years. They won all their dual meets handily with the exception of a disputed victory over them by St. George's School. In the Brown Interscholastic Meet held at the close of the swimming season the Easterners captured second place, being beaten only by a prep school from out-of-state. It was in this meet that the team decisively defeated St. George’s thereby claiming the state championship.—Robert A. Spratt Baseball THE 1945 edition of the East High Redjackets' Baseball Team got practice under way at the gymnasium early in March with the able assistance of Alex Nahigian. Two of last year's stalwarts, Johnny Kenyon and Spinny'' Rounds, were not around to do the hurling this spring, so that the only candidate with any experience at all was Dick Hornby, who had seen limited service last year.

Coach Max Read sent only three boys to the state meet which was held at Camp Endicott for the benefit of the Construction Battalion stationed there. With Carl Foehr and Bob.

With such holdovers as Rizzardini, Coutu. Boghossian. and Foehr. the team will be fairly well balanced in the running department. With John Williamson. our chief weight thrower, and Everett Williamson, one of the best hurdlers in the state, in the service. Coach Read will be hard pressed to find able substitutes in these events. Barring any further depletion in the membership ranks. East High will have one of the strongest teams in the state.—Kachig Boghossian Girls Basketball DURING the 1944-1945 season the most popular after-school sport for girls was basketball, and a group of capable players were right on hand to do their best for victory on one of the various teams. Champs of the senior class were the Blue-Jackets captained by Marion Sweetland and Lillian Lee; they were followed closely by Barbara Yates’ Barbarettes.

The number of players at turnouts was unprecedented and the enthusiasm and good sportsmanship manifested by the girls were truly commendable. Thrilling games were played every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon by such teams as The Moles, the East High Amazons, the Jinx, and the Glamazons. The Jinx, captained by Therese Houston, certainly proved to be a “jinx'' to the other determined teams, for they became 1945 champions without the loss of a single game!—Sally Engustian s S SWIMMING proved to be a popular sport with the girls again this year. The seniors got off to a good start by winning the first interclass meet, but the sophomores took the next two. Several seniors displayed great swimming ability at these meets. Ruth Chatterton, Carolyn Coutu. and Peggy Eatough placed in the freestyle, back stroke, and breast stroke. Ruth showed that she was an outstanding diver by taking honors in all three meets. Barbara Yates and Phyllis Dott were two of the other fine swimmers on the senior girls’ team.—Elsie Sullivan wimnung Team ' I' Hi: Curio Lead� -r Corp was first insti-A luted in 1931 under the guidance of Miss Martha Jones Tbt organi .ation continued under her able leadership until 1942, when she became Director of Curls' Physical Education in junior and senior high schools.

Initiative, personality, depend ability, and intelligence are also considered in the selection of the members. In January of every year fifteen sophomore girls, chosen according to tfie above stand ards, are initiated into Leader Corps at the traditional candle light service, I he meetings are held every Wednesday morning Some are devoted to the business of the organization and the rest to gym nastic instruction, I be officers are elected at the end of the school year and assume their duties at the beginning of the next school year. This year s officers are Eleanor R. Niebuhr. '45. president: Nancy Lees. '46, vice-president: Margaret hatougb, 45, secretary: and Joan Arnold, '46. treasurer. The aim of the organization is to give girls of outstanding ability an opportunity to assume responsibility and. by practice and instruction, gain experience along lines that will help them later in life. Leader Corps is not only devoted to gymnastic work, however, as it also plans many entertaining parties and dances for the girls. Among this year s activities there have been the annual November Formal, a Christmas and Hallowe'en party, and the annual Spring Dance. Besides these there are many other social get-togethers throughout the year. Leader Corps not only fits girls for becoming physical instructors, but also gives an added advantage to those who are going out in other fields: namely, the development of dependability and initiative. —It leu nor R.
