APPLETON, A. B. Superintendent .. Ed. M Ag } DAVIS DWIGHT S. incipal Py Time for Greatness At the risk of plagiarizing the title of Herbert Agar’s book, I am going to talk briefly with you on the task which lies ahead. Many of us middle-aged men and women have been donning sackcloth and ashes, beating our breasts, and crying aloud that our pettiness in the months following World War I was responsible for the staggering sacrifices you are called upon to make. I hope that we really mean it when we say that “our failure to assume our share of responsibility for international co-operation was so unpardonable that we should look at the end of this war to the younger generation to share the responsibilities which will be ours.” No doubt you are surfeited with all this talk from us older people. Many of u s forget that when we were your age the mouthings of the oldsters meant but little to us. We do know, however, that you are, on the whole, a healthier lot than we were 25 years ago. We know that to help you at the end of this war, will be a history of the mistakes we made at the end of the last one. Our aim now is victory. This excuses none of us from giving thought to the kind of world we want to live in after the war and to the blue prints which are being prepared for this kind of world. Let no one deceive you by saying, “There is time for nothing now, but fighting and winning the war.” There is plenty of time for planning the peace. Every literate American citizen should read Louis Adamic’s TWO-WAY PASSAGE, Norman Angell’s LET THE PEOPLE KNOW, and similar plans for making World War II the last World War. You have seen how my generation enlisted in a “war to end wars” and how we failed to win the peace. You have our mistakes to guide you. This is a time for greatness. You will not fail. DD, Sala Of War and Peac e IS SGOL— DI “Ense petit placidam sub liberate quietem” —‘With the sword she seeks peace under liberty.” Did you know, classmates, that the pre- ceding quotation is the motto of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts? Mottos are often not very pertinent. Ours, however, concerns us directly, for it describes what we are about to do. Very soon, most of us will be fighting for peace in the armed services of our country, or on the production front. It is important to us that we are going to fight for peace rather than for a madman’s insatiable desire for power. It matters that instead of being considered machines for the propagation and enforcement of military dictatorship, as Japanese soldiers and factory workers are, we shall fight for peace. Should fate decree that some of our class- mates lay down their lives so that we can reach our goal, we will never feel that they have died in vain, as surely the Italians must, who have nothing to gain, no matter how the tide of battle turns. When I say we are going to fight for peace, I don’t mean the temporary type of armistice which followed the last conflict. Our idea of peace includes freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. It’s up to us to win that peace, Class of ’43! M. F. =i 9 hie Edward Mullan Class Of fice rs. : Margaret Russell . de Doris Bourvous Edward B. Mullan “4 king’s son ahead of them, showing them the way.” We expect great things of Eddie Mullan, the president of our class. His high school career has been full of activity, especially sports. He was one of our mighty football players for three years, as well as a participant in inter- class basketball and interclass track. Besides being elected president of the Senior Class during his last year, he was secretary of his home room. His active participation on the Senior Prom Committee contributed much to its success. We all remember Eddie’s comical port- rayal of Bagshot, the highwayman in the Senior Play. To aid the War Stamp and Bond sales, Eddie gave several pep talks during assemblies. It will be a sad day for our enemies when, after graduation, Eddie becomes a gunner in the Army Air Corps. Barbara M. Damon “A quicker hand to act intelligence.” The secretary of our class, “Barb” Damon, was one of our most active members. Of all her interests, the Press Club was her favorite. She joined this organization when she was a sopho- more; in her senior year, she became editor- in-chief. Her weekly sports column was very popular. Because she wrote about sports, anyone might guess that she also enjoyed participating in them. She played field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and softball. She was the president of the Girls’ Sports Club during her sophomore year. Other clubs in which “Barb” held mem- bership were the French Club and Ski Club. She was, also, a Magnet member, sophomore year. As a junior, “Barb” was a Cabinet Repre- sentative. She served as chairman of the War Stamp and Bond Committee. In addition, she was an honor student throughout her high school career. With her ability and ambition, “Barb” will undoubtedly make her mark at Mt. Holyoke College, which she plans to enter in the fall. Margaret Russell “Vou are the link that binds us all.’ Peggy Russell, who had the unusual honor of being elected vice president of her class for two years, leaves L. H. S. with fond memories of three busy years. She ventured into many fields of endeavor, including athletics, dramatics, publications, and music. She played both basketball and _ field hockey in her sophomore year. When a junior, she was a Magnet member. Sophomore and senior years, she belonged to the Choral Club. While a senior, Peggy held the office of vice president in the Girls’ Glee Club and in her homeroom. We all recall the charming manner in which she spoke the prologue at the Senior Class Play. Working on Prom Committees, Peggy again displayed her class spirit. Her many duties didn’t prevent her being an honor student. She is going to be a secretary. We know that she will meet with great success. Doris L. Bourgoin “The charm of your presence shall lure ” Us. Graduation for Doris Bourgoin, known as “Dotty,” will mark the termination of three very busy years. _ Sports interest Dot very much; therefore she played field hockey, basketball, softball, and volley ball in her sophomore and junior years. She captained field hockey and basketball teams. Her liking for sports led her to become cheerleader, a position which she executed very enthusiastically. Without Dotty’s cheering them on, our team might not have won so many games. Dotty was a member of the Speech Club, the Press Club, the French Club. and the Bowling Club, as well as a member of the Student Cabi- net for three years. She was its secretary during her senior year. Her sophomore and senior years found her an efficient class treasurer. Prom Committees received her aid. Dotty leaves L. H. S. to enter a business college and to become a medical secretary. =i 1 lle ROBERT W. ADAMS Marine Air Corps “His voice ts clear, full, and mellow.” Speech Club 2, 3, 4. EDWARD M.

Flas of Freedom This is our flag, our banner proud, Waving on high above the crowd. Our fathers proudly bore it on Till strife and struggle they had won; This freedom lasting through the years They paid for with their blood and tears; This flag for justice stood, and right, To freemen joining in the fight To keep their nation, founded here By God’s own hand of mercy dear; That all might live in happy peace, That greed and tyranny might cease. When our flag was born, the stars were few, But thirteen on that field of blue; Then they increased as time was spent, And new states, nascent, innocent, Affixed to that cerulean field Those stars by which our bond is sealed,— Many united, one in name, One in action, one in fame. And as we cross our span of Life, We'll add new stars, by strain and strife: Stars of courage, bold and true, Of manliness and ventures new, Of knowledge great, intelligence, Of wisdom, skill, and common sense; Till we have grown in limb and mind, The gentle giants of mankind. Now, as we advance behind The flag our fathers made, we find No empty symbol there. It stands To men of dark and burdened lands, The harbinger, the promise bright, The well-spring of man’s quest for right. It stands for freedom here one may Go to his own church to pray; Here, in public meeting place, Unafraid, he shows his face, And speaks his mind for the common good, And toils to earn his daily food, And builds his house, and tills his land, To neighbor lends a helping hand. All this beneath our banner bright, Enduring proof through bitter night. Through battlefield it leads us on, Until the bloody fight is won; Till all who dare to carry on Will know the light that brings the dawn. So now, our own flag waving high, Red, white, and blue against the sky, Will rid this world of hate and sin; With The Flag of Freedom we will win. Nancy Lambert Betty Julian September 4, 1940 Dear Diary, Today I am a sophomore! Have I been wait- ing for this day! Well, my first day at senior high is over. Gosh, it’s so different from what I thought and heard. We don’t have to stay in line and hear kids like ourselves shout, “Single file! No talking!” And we can go up any stairs we want... . Gee, only my first day there; it’s only human to get mixed up. Those seniors forgot they were sophomores once; otherwise, they wouldn’t have laughed at me when I walked into one of their classes and very politely asked, “Is this room thirteen? Where is it, please?”’ They weren't very helpful or amicable in directing me to the cafeteria instead. But this is only the first day. Just wait!!! O) Please CACUSE me please. Ts this Rom 13 ? ed September 12, 1940 Dear Diary, I knew my singing would attract attention someday. Today, at our first sing, I led all my side of the balcony. I think we did a good job! Could we help it if the piano player wasn’t able to keep up with our singing and had to lag be- hind? And how did I know that the soloist was supposed to sing the song twice? September 27, 1940 Dear Diary, Mom was quite angry tonight. “Too late for children like you to be out so late at night. You should be in bed,” she snapped. “Don’t you realize it’s 11:00 p.m.?” Yes! But doesn’t she realize I’ve grown up now? I’m a sophomore in high school! I’m too old to go to afternoon dances. And gee, the Speech Club held this Sophomore Party just for us Sophs to get acquainted with the upperclass- men and teachers. Ohhh, did I have a wonderful time! Ice cream, cake, soda, AND dancing with U-NO- HOO! Mom thinks I’m too young to stay out late. What will she say when I tell her I’ve found my- self a steady! ?! October 6, 1940 Dear Diary, It’s over! Thank God it’s over! No more worries about a five-minute speech. The teacher must have thought I wa s doing a new Hawaiian dance—the way I was shaking all over, then swaying back and forth, and, to top everything, the way I stretched my arms to scratch my head when I forgot some parts. He probably thought the actions went with my speech, ‘The Life of an Average Hawaiian.” November 10, 1940 Dear Diary, We made our debut today in the assembly hall. We didn’t have any buglers to announce: “The Sophomore Class presents taraaaaaa — THE UNKOWN GUY, starring George Cruikshank, Doris Bourgoin, and Roger Miller,” but the atmosphere was there anyway. A grand feeling to see those seniors watching our perform ance. We've got talent! December 20, 1940 Dear Diary, “Jingle bells, jin” — what on earth am I writing? Christmas Carols! Oh well, I just can’t help it. The atmosphere’s got me. All we've been doing in school these past few days is sing- ing Christmas Carols. I made a fool of myself when I was putting an algebra problem on the board today. Imagine my writing a thoughtless thing like this: X + mas = Christmas. Five-minute spe eches December 23, 1940 Dear Diary, If a few of the following pages in this diary are left blank, there is a good reason. I’m put- ting aside all thoughts of school, and I’m going to pull the blankets tightly over my head and “hibernate” for a whole week. Why am I tak- ing this time out? We’ve got a vacation, and that spells SLEEP! Hohum! : Aa ‘ Yaca ions oe “rE ; Tie January 17, 1941 Dear Diary, We got the notice early this morning, ‘All sophomores will meet in the assembly hall during activity period.” Being human, I spent most of the day wondering about this notice. Maybe the seniors wanted to wish us luck on our perform- ance at the Interclass Play Contest, or maybe they wanted to ask us for some really good sophomore advice. But the meeting didn’t concern the seniors at all. It was a SOPHOMORE class meeting. Our first one! Mr. Drury, our class advisor, opened the meeting and then introduced Mr. Rogers, who spoke to us about the election of class officers. Hooray! United at last! I wonder who’ll run for office! January 18, 1941 Dear Diary, The lights went out; I held my breath. Would we — only sophomores? The curtains were drawn apart slowly; I crossed my fingers and then well, I just couldn’t help losing myself in our play, “The Trysting Place.” It was a grand comedy with Alice Rock, Jane O’Toole, Rosamond Long, George Cruikshank, Frank De Carolis, Milton Rioux, and Roger Miller taking part. Haven't I always said our class was talent- ed? This proves it! We came in second. Even beat the seniors!) Hmmmmmhm! Whatta class. February 15, 1941 Dear Diary, I didn’t have to stay up all night beside a radio to learn the results of our voting a few days ago, but I did get tired of waiting for the Enterprise. When it finally did come, I turned to the Senior High Notes, and there it was in big letters: “Sophomores Elect Class Officers.” Then it went on to say in smaller letters that John Lowe was elected president; Jane O’Toole, vice-president; George Cruikshank, secretary; Doris Bourgoin, treasurer. May 5, 1941 Dear Diary, And I thought I was going to sleep during this vacation! “Come now, dear,’ Mom had tried to break the bad news gently. ‘‘The air will do you good. You need some exercise.” Exercise! Do me good! Bah! Picking up papers and old cans and cleaning the yard! She called it good exercise, something enjoyable. I call it hard work! And I hate it! Spending a vacation work- ing! That just isn’t natural — for me at least! June 20, 1941 Dear Diary, You should have seen my desk in school today. Clean? I’ll say! No more reading, no more writing, no more ’rithmetic for ten weeks! No longer a sophomore to be sneered at and laughed at by upperclassmen. Mornings to sleep, afternoons to myself, and evenings with U-NO- HOO. This’ll be heaven! School’s out! Hoooo oooray! September 3, 1941 Dear Diary, I wish I had at least half as much enthusi- asm a bout going back to school as I had last year. Sophomore year wasn’t bad, but this junior year—gosh, from what I heard, it’s awful! I haven’t heard anyone say it wasn’t tough. Of course, this first day went along smoothly. First days are always good. I'll have to get acquainted with the new teachers and subjects. My fingers are crossed. Here’s hoping I come through! October 1, 1941 Dear Diary, “Did you sign for president? Then sign here! Don’t forget your homeroom number. C’m on, hurry up! Thanks. Hey, did you sign. . .” Whew! Am I glad that’s over! I suppose every- one is, especially our new officers. John Lowe’s got what it takes. He was elected president again; Margaret Russell, vice president; George Cruikshank, secretary again; Evelyn Gelinas, treasurer. 3.4} December 8, 1941 Dear Diary, I could hear the heart of every pupil beat- ing wildly as he sat in the assembly hall, think- ing of what happened yesterday, waiting to hear what the president had to say. The student body was quiet, and the voice of President Roosevelt echoed throughout the hall, ‘““Mr. Vice- president, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House of Representatives: “Vesterday, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was attacked by naval and air forces of the empire of Japan. ... ” I looked about me at the kids gathered for this special assembly. They all wore the same expression, one which declared, “Just wait! We'll show ’em!” December 26, 1941 Dear Diary, The streets are lighted with gay-colored lights on the Christmas trees; people are hurry- ing to and fro, doing last minute shopping; even Santa Claus is here. Vacation has started. Last year I looked forward to this; this year — I can’t exactly explain it — there’s something inside me that draws away my atten- tion from this festivity. Maybe it’s the world status. Somehow, I don’t want to sleep all week; I want to get out and work and be of help. January 13, 1942 Dear Diary, Whew! It happened so fast! I was in my usual seat at the back of the room during study. The class was busy and quiet, writing an essay. I dropped a pin and heard the noise it made. Unusual but true. The tranquility got the best of me. My head was bent forward. I found my- self shutting my eyes, opening them slowly, shut- ting them again . . . I was falling asleep! Sud- denly, startled by the sound of a continuous ringing of the bell, I jumped to my feet, ran for my locker, snatched my coat, then went out the door, met the kids, kept on running for fifteen minutes, reached home, had time for a glass of milk and a sandwich, ran back to school, sank into my chair in my homeroom, and _ sighed, “T’m glad it’s only the first air-raid drill and not the real thing!” January 22, 1942 Dear Diary, Mother can’t understand the sudden change in me these past few weeks. ‘“‘He’s settled down and has become so serious,” I heard her tell Dad. I have, and it has taken a war to let such a thing happen. I went to our annual Interclass play Con- test tonight. We came in second again this year; and Eleanor Fusco was chosen best actress, while Eddie Alderman got honorable mention. I’m glad, but I’m more glad and relieved that the conditions which existed in our play, “Jacob Comes Home”, do not exist in America. We don’t want the characters that Helen Leary, George Cruikshank, Eleanor, Eddie and Judy Brit- ton played to live in America. Here people must live—live for tomorrow and the good things it brings! 335 We May 1, 1942 Dear Diary, What a head I’ve had all day! Ohhh! Maybe I should have come in a little earlier last night— I mean this morning. Hmm, I had a wonderful time at May Day Prom. The hall was decorated with gay-colored paper and May baskets; we danced to the music of Frankie Dee’s orchestra, and —I had a wooooonderful time! June 18, 1942 Dear Diary, I can’t understand why Mom had to make such a fuss. This isn’t my first black eye, and steak hasn’t been rationed. I tried to explain to Mom the significance of a class fight, that it’s traditional, but she wouldn’t understand; she didn’t want to—not even when I told her we won —actually beat the seniors! What would she have said if she had seen the girls fighting! ?! That was something! evniuce of class fight June 19, 1942 Dear Diary, Just one big sigh. School’s out! What a re- lief! September 9, 1942 Dear Diary, Deep down in my heart I have a funny feeling. I’ve been waiting ages for the day when I could hold my head high, throw out my chest, look down at the sophomores, and remark, ‘‘Go ’way, child.” I can do that now; yet, I wish I were the sophomore who has three years of high school before him. I have only ten months to go; and, believe me, they’ll fly. October 7, 1942 Dear Diary, November always brings one thing to my mind—elections. But our class, always wanting to be different, held them a few days ago. I just read the results in the Senior High Notes. Eddie Mullan’s president; Margaret Russell, vice president; Barbara Damon, secretary; Doris Bourgoin, treasurer. November 10, 1942 Dear Diary, It took three years, but we finally got there. Better Speech Contest tonight. I’ll skip the story on the first prize. It didn’t mean much to the seniors. George Cruikshank brought home _ the silver medal, second prize. You should have heard him speak! He made chills run up and down my back when he depicted a scene on the battlefield. Soooo real! “Give to the scrap metal drive!” he advocated. After such a plea, who wouldn’t give all he could? George got second prize for the seniors, and Lucy Fraticelli got the honorable mention. She spoke about a foreigner’s heaven—America! The word America always moves me. As I’ve said time and time again, it’s up to us to let America be a country with a promising future. We'll do this, I know! December 11, 1942 Dear Diary, I was held in suspense until our play went on. There were rumors that we seniors didn’t sof le. 23.6} have a chance with our comedy. Ridiculous! Our winning was a cinch! We were good; that’s all there is to it. Well, at last we came in first at play contest. Whatta play we had! ‘‘Elmer and the Love-bug!” I never laughed so much in all my life. The person sitting beside me was watching me with a quizzical expression that asked, ‘“‘Are you crying or laughing?” January 25, i943 Dear Diary, There’s a war going on, and no one knows this better than the class of 43. Last year the seniors complained they couldn’t have enough of this and that; this year we seniors couldn’t even have this and that—never mind enough! But in the end things always turn out all right. We didn’t have a senior prom, but I bet everyone of the ninety couples that attended our hop tonight had a good time that can’t be topped by any other dance. Ovox ak e LASS: The musical scores Johnny Newton and his orchestra played are still running through my head. He was good! I liked the way the auditorium was dec- ! x) “ss (2) _ e orated—a ski lodge with all accessories. You know, I’m beginning to think this hop was even better than any prom! February 13, 1943 Dear Diary, Don’t mind the writing tonight. My teeth are chattering; my feet won’t get warm, even with this hot water bottle; my fingers are so stiff I can hardly hold the pen. Cold? Well, thirty degrees below zero isn’t exactly the time I’d enjoy being out doors in a bathing suit. for a sun bath! Over half the kids weren’t in school today. The ones who did come spent the whole day be- side a radiator trying to get thawed out. It’s not exactly warm when kids come to school with frost on their eyebrows, purple legs; AND, when boys start wearing girls’ kerchiefs, it must be cold! February 19, 1943 Dear Diary, Unbelievable! I still can’t get over it. One fortnight, two weeks, fourteen days and nights —all of this is vacation! Oh hhh, it sounds so good I think I’m dreaming. We usually get a week off about this time, but this rationing business. It helps, too. These two weeks will come in handy. I'll be able to work all day. With graduation so near, I can certainly use more do, re, me! os a ™ a v sh Denver play ZA Illustrations by Eleanor Fusco 37} March 11, 1943 Dear Diary, And didst thoust enjoyest thoustself this charming evening? Don’t mind me. I just came back from seeing our class play, ‘““The Beaux’ Strategem”’. The action took place two hundred years ago, but the ideas and motives—hmmm, they weren’t two hundred years old! (We were going to give the play the subtitle, ‘““Two Wolves on a Holiday.” Strikes home, 1943.) Our costumes were lovely! I couldn’t even recognize the kids. The players were all good— Cruikshank and Melba Harrigan; Hemenway and Eleanor Fusco; Dexter Manzer, Eddie Mullan, Helen Leary, Judy Britton, Pout Co- senza (I can’t get over him! Was I surprised! ), Jim Pritchard and Don Conway and all the rest of ‘em. June 10, 1943 Dear Diary, I hate to fill in this page. It seems like an end, an end of I don’t know what. I couldn’t help thinking and wondering tonight while we seniors were in the hall with our caps and gowns, with diplomas in our hands, and with tears in our eyes. I was thinking and trying to remember. It happened years ago. We were young at the time. A huge mountain stretched high into the sky before us. A gentle hand clasped ours; then a soft voice directed, ‘“To the top, my dear, the top.” Too young to care, too young to under- stand, we held the hand and followed. The journey took days and days and end- less days. Some of us began to feel tired and lagged behind; some of us began to be inquisitive and asked, “Why? What is there at the top?” The gentle hand clutched ours tighter; the voice grew softer; the words remained the same, “To the top, my dear, the top.” And so we went, month after month. Along the way some of us slipped, and we were picked up and told to advance. But the command was monotonous, and some of us slipped again and were lost. of “a] Again we asked, “Why the top?” The voice was even softer this time, ‘“‘Soon, my dear, soon.” And so we went on..... Now we have reached the top. We do not cling to the gentle hand any more; we do not hear the soft voice. We have reached the top of the huge mountain. We see many roads leading in different directions. We read the sign-posts: TEACHERS—TURN RIGHT; DOCTORS— STRAIGHT AHEAD; SECRETARIES — TURN LEFT; ARMED FORCES—. ROUTE 6; FACTORIES—STRAIGHT AHEAD. Each person stands alone, looking at the road he will take. He breathes deeply, takes one big step forward, and then continues, always remembering, For God and For Country.

THE REALM OF ENTERTAINMENT All New York is ga-ga over the mar- velous performance rendered by the talented Alice Rock, leading violinist in the New York Symphony orchestra. It is believed that the charming Miss Rock will go far in the field of music . . . . What is all this about a new show to be produced by James Buckley? Well, we don’t know too much about it as yet, but we do know that George Cruikshank, Broad- way’s find of the season is to be the star of it.... Speaking of plays, have you ordered your tickets for the new hit, ‘My Sisters,” by the successful woman playwright Pat Phillips? Remember: those two top-notch stars from Hollywood, Eleanor Fusco and Judy Britton, are to play the leads. From what we hear, opening night will be a complete sell out . . . . Turning to radio, Miss Marie Piermarini, that woman genius in the television world, conducted a tour of the television studios here in the Radio City Building. Tourists were much more familiar with the study when the tour was completed, you can bet. They were also able to see the world famous lecturers, Nazzareno Rosa and Charles Catazini, at work in one of these studios. NEW SKI LODGE OPENED One of New York’s most successful business men has opened a ski lodge for summer skiing in upper New York.

NEW SUPERVISOR CHOSEN Joan Cronin was chosen supervisor of the nurses at the new City Hospital today. Miss Cronin, a member of the staff at the old hospital, was in direct line for the promotion, which came as no surprise today. The remainder of the staff will remain the same with several new additions. For the first time a dental hygienist, Corinne Valeri, will be on the staff. Regular nurses just joining the staff are Dorothy Mason, Anita De Lisle, Rita Con- nolly, Margaret Bird, Lydia DiNardo, Camille Gorgolioni.

NEW SINGER WITH CARRESCIA Gene Carrescia, leader of the hottest band in the nation, made known today that he has dis- covered a new singer, who will join his band in Chicago sometime next week. The new singer is Annita Battaglini, whom he discovered singing over a small radio station in Massachusetts. Said Carrescia of Miss Battaglini, who strangely enough was a -lassmate of his in high school, “She’s got the type of voice the people want.” There will be no other change made in the nation’s leading band and Robert Adams, with the “voice that charms,” will remain with the band. The orchestra will begin its fourth year in television this week with a new program under the sponsorship of William Hardy, the nation’s tobacco king. It is expected to be one of the most popular television presentations. FIRE QUICKLY CONTROLLED What might have been one of the city’s worst fires, was quickly brought under control this morning at the Pomerleau Machine Works Inc. The fire, starting by the offices of the presi- dent’s secretary, was put out early this morning, thanks to the quick work of Fire Chief Freder- ick Johnson and his men, Sylvio Blanchette, Frank DiPace, Ray Levesque and call fireman Vernon Gelinas. Several machinists, just arriving at the plant for their day’s work, also aided in extinguishing the blaze. Among them were Kenneth Davis, Levi Gradito, Robert McDonough, Joseph Fan- tozzi, and Ray LaFrance. A bit of heroism was displayed by Raymond Girouard, a salesman for the firm, and Lawrence Poirier, a driver, who rescued the secretaries in whose offices the fire started. The secretaries, who wish to remain unknown, were Mary Gizzi and Olga DiNardo. “41 }e NEW HIGHWAY COMPLETED The super Boston-New York Highway, which is to cut driving time between the two cities in half, was completed this morning, just three months after the Dean-Izzi Construction Company broke ground, the co-owners of the company, Robert Dean and Theodore Izzi, announced today. Supervisor Harold Bassett and Conserva- tion Director Dante Piermarini have had com- plete charge of the planning of the beautiful parks which adorn both sides of the new parkway. Only one roadside restaurant, one of the nation-wide chain of eating places owned by Robert Barlow, will be allowed on the route. The restaurant, located half way between the two metropolises will feature meals by Patsy Scopletti, world famed chef. Acting as waitresses will be Nancy Crowley and Betty Lou Gale. It is expected that the road will be open for traffic within a week. Formal dedicatory exer- cises will take place on Sunday afternoon. ELEMENT IS DISCOVERED The most amazing feat in recent years took place yesterday at the Supple and Laverty Chemical Research Laboratories when the long searched for 93rd element was discovered by John Supple and Robert Laverty, co-owners of the laboratory. Aiding the chemists in their experiments which led to the discovery were Nancy Lambert, Melba Harrigan and Betty Julian, outstanding women chemists, and physicist Dexter Gowdy, all of whom are associated with the Supple- Laverty Laboratories. At a press conference held today, Mr. Supple and Mr. Laverty announced that the newly found element would henceforth be known as Supplavertium. TEACHERS IN ACCIDENT Several members of the high school faculty were shaken up, but none were injured, in an automobile accident this morning. The teachers, just leaving for a week end in New York City, were Mary Piermarini, Dorothy Brooks, Rita Cabana, and Juliette Rocca.

FIFTH NATIONAL BANK DEDICATED The Fifth National Bank, first building in the nation to be built from the new architect- ural designs drawn by Russell Hemenway, was dedicated this morning. A previously unknown architect, Hemen- way has gained national fame by his designs for the new bank building. In addition to being one of the most beautiful buildings ever built in New York City, it towers over the Empire State Building by some forty stories. This feat, previ- ously considered by the best architects in the world to be impossible, was easily accomplished cf lo, “el 4 p = by Hemenway after only two weeks of planning. In his own words the designer describes his work as “one of the easiest things I have ever done.” Presiding over the dedication exercises this morning was Robert Strelluf, first vice president of the bank, who took over in the absence of the establishment’s president. By some odd coinci- dence it was found this morning that Hemenway and Strelluf were both graduates of Leominster High School in 1943. Among the many famed men and women of the professional and business world who will have offices in the new building are Phyllis Spettigue, Marilyn Johnson and Barbara Land- are, women psychiatrists.

Doctor Roger Miller, family physician, was quoted this morning by his medical secretaries: “Prichard will be able to return to his office in the nation’s largest steel mill within two weeks.” SPORTLIGHT This week’s guest columnist for the Sport- light is Richard Raher, noted sportswriter for the New York World. For the first time in the history of base- ball, the “most valuable player” title will be shared by three men, strangely enough all from the same team. And who are these three players? Johnny Grossi, the Yanks’ greatest outfielder since Joe DiMaggio, Chub Caisse, the league’s leading hitter, and Dick Smith, the best infielder in the business. The Olympics, world champions girls’ soft- ball team, will be the guests of the management at the Dodgers game this afternoon when the Dodgers meet the Boston Braves. Members of the team who plan to attend the game are Emily Caisse, Olga Colecchi, Irene Cantin, Louise Ban- grazi, Julie Petricca and Anna Zinna. The girls, who have been playing together since high school, haven't been defeated in over 80 games. Dexter Manzer, coach of the New York Prep school football team, and Bob Colcord, who holds a similar position at St. Michael’s Prep, have both resigned their positions to take over jointly the coaching duties at one of the nation’s leading colleges. Just which one, is not known, as the resignation of the two coaches was not to be made public until tomorrow. An interesting item came up this week when it was discovered that pitcher Bill McEvoy of the Brooklyn Dodgers and first baseman Paul Gallagher, also of the Dodgers, have been play- ing ball together since high school days here in Leominster. No wonder the boys click so well together. Once the football season gets underway next fall, baseball fans will again be hearing the voices of their favorite baseball announcers. Andy Carter and Lewis Oleson, considered by many the best on the radio, will take over an- nouncing the nation’s outstanding football games as well. WORLD’‘S LARGEST PEARL IS DISCOVERED Donald Conway, internationally famous as a pearl diver, discovered what is believed to be the largest pearl in existence, while making his weekly dive in the Caribbean yesterday morning.

With the outbreak of the war, correspondence with students of foreign lands had to cease, and the club redirected its atten- tion to service to the school and community through discussions of current events and post- war plans.

In addition to regu- lar news stories concerning school activities, a club column, alumni news, and special features are added to make the page more interesting. This year the twenty-six members of the club were organized into various departments, depending on their chief interest in writing.

This year the Seniors were first; Sophomores, second; and Juniors, third. Every member learned a ten minute reading. The seven best were selected and presented at Recital Night. THE STUDENT CABINET The Student Cabinet, an organization which gives us helpful governmnt and direction, is made up of one student from each of the sixteen home- roooms. Mr. Coburn and Mr. Davis are faculty ad- visors. Under their direction, those chosen to re- present their fellow students receive problems and questions pertaining to school, discuss them, and practically always find a satisfactory solu- tion to them. the Cabinet’s achievements this year was the successful way in which it sponsored the sale of War Bonds and Stamps.

Olga Colecchi was the captain of the Senior team; Madge Green, of the Junior team; and Mary Pancare, of the Sophomore team. The lead in the tournament rolled back and forth from one team to another to such an extent that the final play-off between the Juniors and Seniors had to be postponed until spring. The Senior team finally crashed its way to victory. The girls who played on this team were Emily Caisse, Vera Celli, Barbara Damon, Arlene Casey, Alice Fluet, Doris Ceruto, Jeanette La- Combe, Margaret Bird, Dot Glasheen, and Trene Cantin.

Theresa Picucci’s Senior team finally walked away with the school championship. The members of her team were Anna Zinna, Annie Armilotti, Barbara Damon, Doris Ceruto, Alice Fluet, Madge Woodcock, Dorothy Mason, and _ . Dorothy Lavoie. BOWLING CLUB The Bowling Club was started by Miss Gerda Johnson for all bowling enthusiasts. It met every Friday afternoon and evening at the Recre- ation Bowling Alleys. Eight teams were formed so that every time a member bowled the score counted for his team. The officers were as follows: Paul Bedard, President; Robert Quinn, Vice-President; Peggy Kilcoyne, Secretary. Some of the high scorers were Bob Barlow, Paul Bedard, John Joyce, Harold Lancy, Alfred Cormier, Joseph Landry, Bob Strelluf, and Bob Hartwell. BASKETBALL Displaying some of the finest offensive and defensive team work ever seen in Leominster, the Leominster High School basketball squad came through one of the toughest schedules ever attempted by the local team. Victories over such adversaries as Gardner, St Bernard’s, Nashua, the Alumni, and a double win over Northbridge, proved that the 43 team played -heads-up basketball. Early in the season the local team suffered three defeats at the hands of Gardner, St. Bernard’s and Fitchburg. How- ever, in later games with these teams, the local hoopsters showed much improvement and com- letely overwhelmed both St. Bernard’s and Gardner. The season cannot be termed a real success, for the main objective of the schedule, the game with our arch-rival, Fitchburg, re- sulted in a loss for our boys. For the Leominster players, flashy forward Bob Colcord was high scorer, followed closely by passing shark “Snuff” Smith. Dick Lewis, lanky center for the Leominster team, continually used his height to the greatest advantage as he got the ball off the backboard. “Pin” Canna- vino lived up to his title of “‘shayshooter,” for he was one of the highest scoring guards put out by the local squad. “Don” Conway, around whom the team was moulded, was a bulwark on defense, breaking up the opponent’s play time and again. When the season drew to a close, the Leo- minster team had chalked up 6 wins and 4 losses. FOOTBALL The Broderick-coached eleven charged through a tough schedule to keep L. H. S. high in the A class of football rating. With the ex- ception of three ties, Leominster took five of the ten gridiron clashes. The two “hard luck” games of the season were with Medford and Newton. Leominster, minus ‘‘Chalk” Antonucci, was flattened out under the state champion head- ed Medford steamroller. Newton came through in the last quarter of her tussle with Leominster to even up the score by making two aerial touch downs. However, the one point she made after the touch-down decided the game in her favor. Waltham, Gardner, and Arlington proved no bet- ter nor worse than Leominster as far as scoring goes. At Waltham, Leominster made an out- standing goal line stand and broke up the Watch city’s aerial offensive. At Leominster, Gardner’s touchdown was evened up by Manzer’s touch- down pass to Cannavino. (Manzer also made a brilliant 60 yard run, the longest during Leo- minster’s season.) At Leominster, Arlington saw only 2 first downs against Leominster’s 11. Football enthusiasts watched Leominster take Saugus by a score of 19 to 6 in an opener which brought high hopes for the L. H. S. sea- son. The Irish from Clinton gave in to their dec- idedly better arch-rivals, Leominster. To close the season, the Blue and White took St. James of Haverhill by a score of 20 to 0, leaving only Fitchburg to be conquered. “An inspiring Leominster eleven avenged last year’s 14 to 6 defeat by running roughshod over a surprisingly weak Fitchburg eleven for a score of 25 to 7. This game ended the playing career at Leominster High School for such play- rs as: Fred Johnson, Don Conway, Dex Manzer, Bob Colcord, Walt Ostman, Johnnie Grossi, Matthew Cozensa, Bill Scully, Jim Pritchard, Bill McEvoy, Eddie Mullen and Dick Smith” (also for the Juniors,—Campobasso, Cannivino, and O’Malley,—who are going into the service).

The finished performances were the result of la- borious and untiring preparation. eet ee tem ei ease PARE EASTERN ROR ae anes 4], a. it n | B The Beaux Stratagem by George Farquhar (with the sub-title Te Boys are in Town), an eighteenth-century comedy of the late Restor- ation Period, was received enthusiastically, and the production was acclaimed a huge sucess by everyone. This was due, in a great part, to the unselfish devotion and untiring effort of John F. Joyce, faculty supervisor of the pro- duction, and to several other faculty members who gave generously and unselfishly of their time and talent in advisory capacities to the various student managers. Miss Lucile Brown directed the orchestra, which furnished music between acts. Her brilliant arrangements of period music furnished a pleas- ing atmosphere and added much life and color to the production. Every member of the class par- ticipated in some capacity in the production.
