Betty Maranville TO MR. WILBER We ' ll remember Mr. Wilber — Mr. Wilber of the boyish grin, the rumpled white hair, the sudden glint of the eye, the contemplative air. Mr. Wilber making his way through the corridors and up the stairs to 31 -- Mr. Wilber working hard to gets the longs and shorts of the kids — Mr. Wilber seeing us through the Battle of Thermopylae, the Gallic Wars with Caesar the Civil War, the New Deal — Mr. Wilber patiently dealing with the youth of M. H. S. for twenty-five years — Mr. Wilber talking of the state of world affairs, the Creek alphabet — making even the weather seem interesting — Mr. Wilber saying good-by to M. H. S. with us. Memorial High School IT J Class of Forty - Eight BEING A SENIOR IS FUN For the past year we have occupied that exalted position which is known as heing a senior. We wouldn ' t want this to become common knowledge, but once we — even we — were freshmen. As freshmen we thought seniors were pretty wonderful people. They were so smooth, so confident, so much at ease — everything that we were not, and longed to be. A senior ! W hy, as far as we were concerned, that was the ulti- mate in human development. All of a sudden last fall, there we were. We had to keep reminding ourselves that we had actually attained the position we had so long envied. And it ' s true — - being a senior is fun. Never has a year gone so fast ! We are smoother, more confident, more at ease with teachers and classmates. Seniors have the prestige, the important offices, the special privileges. Yes, under- classmen, you have something to look for- ward to. But we ' ve done more than have fun. Four years may seem like a moment when you ' re reminiscing, but these four years have wrought many changes. When we meet fond relatives who haven ' t seen us since grammar school days and they exclaim over how we ' ve grown, they aren ' t half as sur- prised as we are. We ' ve done a lot of grow- ing up — a long and painful process, as our parents and faculty will testify. But now we ' re wiser and more responsible. No long- er do we have to be told when to wash our ears, shine our shoes — or do our home- work. Such profound progress takes time. There are occasions when a senior can feel older than his grandfather. It gradually begins to dawn on him that in a few months he will have to think of such sober things as jobs and money and college. What a blow it is when the first of his childhood pals gets married ! It is then he begins to realize that the years are creeping up on him. Of course they ' ve been wonderful, these childhood days. But let ' s not linger over fond memories too long. One of the charac- teristics of maturity is the willingness to ac- cept responsibility. That takes courage and self-reliance. There are bigger things afoot, and we must rise to meet them. The years behind us have been just a prelude to the experiences that lie before us. Life can be full, rich, and meaningful if only we work to make it so. J. E. F.

T. S. Memorial High School [ ] Class of Forty - Eight CLASS HISTORY WESTON KELLEY The Spirit of ' 48 Speaks Oh, that first day! Were we ever nerv- ous ! 1 ' 11 never forget the uneasy feeling I had when we walked into the halls of M. H. S. It was a good thing we weren ' t given M. H. S. in one big dose. The second day, as you remember, the big upper classmen came to step on us after we had seen M. H. S. corridors for one day with just Frosh crawling around. We were then the vic- tims of about 400 inferiority complexes, but look at us now, graduating from the highest class in high school. About now, attention was also focused upon a new addition to the class — Thomas Bujanski. The officers elected to be the voice of the freshman class in the Student Council of M. H. S. were: President- Donnie Mit- chell ; Vice-President, Eddy Clark ; Treas- urer, George Deane; and Secretary, Gwen Cahoon. It ' s funny, but to me the dances of the past four years seem to mean much more now than they did in their time. How many remember the first Social of the year? Let ' s see — I guess that was the Get Acquainted Social where we were stepped on as usual, but just the same, we had a pretty good time. We were serenaded by records of the newly-organized Teen Canteen. Our Sophomore year ! Then came our golden opportunity to shine. The upper classmen were just about used to us by now so we could forget about them for the time being and concentrate on the incoming Frosh. Boy ! What fun ! ! A meek Fresh- man boy would approach you and ask in a squeaky voice, Could you please direct me to the gym ? Cunningly, you would lead him down the corridor and point down a flight of stairs. In his rush, however, he ' d not take note of the sign above the door that read, GIRLS . Savage amusement!! Also that year, Terry Shea joined our ranks and rapidly proved herself to be one of the out- standing female wits of the class. Our class officers this vear were : President, Donnie Mitchell ; Vice-President, Buzz Bosari ; Treasurer, Gene Anacki ; and Secretary. Phyl Holt. Our Junior year was our biggest yet, socially as well as scholastically. There didn ' t seem to be any end to the homework and we were kept pretty busy with Canteen, socials and parties. We who were fortunate enough to go must admit that the Junior Prom was the biggest and best of these e- vents. With Ken Reeves ' orchestra, it was one of the outstanding social functions of the year. The class officers that year were : President, Buzz Bosari ; Vice-President, Donnie Mitchell ; Secretary, Gwen Ca- hoon ; Treasurer, Gene Anacki. We can ' t neglect the arrival of Connie Marsden, who added feminine interest to M. H. S., and Terry Dahlquist, who had a few choice words for anybody who had an hour to listen. Three Juniors of this year went to Boston Garden to play in the State Tournament. These same boys also played a big part in forming still a better team in their Senior year. It isn ' t hard to remember back to the first of this school year when we became the big shots of M. H. S. As usual, our first duties were the election of officers who were : President, Buzz Bosari ; Vice-President, Benny Rosen; Secretary, Connie Marsden; Treasurer. Curly Deane. As we roamed the corridors of M. H. S., our ears were greeted by a sound of foreign footsteps. Clicking heels and shuffling feet announced the arrival of John Dutcher, one of the witty optimists of the Senior class. I think that we will all have to agree that the last half of our Senior year was the hardest six months we ever put into school with stiff mid-years and finals, dances, extra -curri- cular doings, and graduation activities. Brief- ly summing up the graduation activities, in which we all had a part, the graduation went over big, as well as smoothly. The banquet and class day exercises provided us with one last taste of M. H. S. (good chicken pie, wasn ' t it?) Our class trip also meant fun for everyone. Last, but by no means least, our Reception, which was our last Senior fling together, brought joy and tears as well as good memories from the night before (morning after), to all attending. Well, that ' s about it and so now I ' ll have to be getting back to — Oh ! I forgot ! You ' re not supposed to know where we spirits live. So Long and Good Luck TD BEGIN Memorial High School [ ] Class of Forty - Eight CLASS PROPHECY FAY BEMIS RAYMOND BAKER GENIE (Don ' t talk to me about women as if they were timid and weak) ANACKI, who was always the shy type in school and never knew quite what he wanted to do, has become a journalist. He writes novels about his exciting escapades with women. His latest publication is How to Break a Heart — Russian Style . AL (Ho Hum) BOLDUC is now an engineer on the Xew York, New Haven Railroad and as a sideline is an inventor. He has invented a portable bed which will fit into your pocket. He got the idea from trying to sleep in the classrooms of M. H. S. BARBARA ( Do you want to hear a good one ) BROOKS has added another ring to that third finger, left hand ; and from all reports, she and Freddie are the happiest people around. GWEN (Anti- Vivisection) CAHOON graduated from Bridgewater State Teach- ers ' College recently as a Math teacher. We hear that she sailed immediately to teach South American kids something about United States methods. ELEANOR (I love that man) CON- NOLLY certainly has come a long way from her position at Buck ' s Drug, hasn ' t she? We recently heard that she is a private secretary to a correspondent for the govern- ment in the Philippines. MARIAN (My first and last) DANIEL- SON marched up the aisle soon after graduation, and we hear that she and Harry are getting along just Daddy . LOUIS (Git outa here) FALCONIERI. who became State Game Warden a few years after his graduation from the University of Massachusetts, plans to retire after he makes his first million. He is also making an ex- tensive study of WILD LIFE. Funny. WILD LIFE never interested him in school ! ! ! SYLVIA GREEN. MARILYN HEA- LY and JEANETTE HOULIHAN are using their office-machine experience and have taken over the Remington-Rand Type- writer Company. They are selling their MARILYN CHURCHILL BETTY MARANVILLE equipment at cost price to all graduates and students of M. H. S. THERESA (May I sell you a candy bar?) GUERTIN is now a very famous Powers model. Her picture recently ap- peared on the cover of Life Magazine, and we see her in many magazine ads. MARGIE (Art and I) GUIDOBONI has settled down in the wilds of East Middle- boro, and she and Art are oh so happy rais- ing flowers ' n things. PHYL (Rah Rah) HOLT recently re- ceived her Ph. D. from Tufts, and is now an internationally-famous psychiatrist. She is able to work in many countries because of her ability to converse easily in many languages. MARION (Wanna see my hope chest?) LINTON is now a busy little house-wife, and we hear her singing a lullaby — Little MANN, You ' ve Had a Busy Day . BETTY (I didn ' t hear the alarm ring, Mr. Thomas) MARANVILLE joined the WAX ES after graduating from the Fanny Farmer School of Cooking and now oper- ates a Cook and Baker school near the West Gate of a Navy base in Miami. BETTIE ANN (Men are such heels) WAITE always did have a yen for North- eastern University and also a lot of experi- ence as a waitress. She now has a job as chief cook at N. U. She sings the old fa- vorite Near You as she cooks, and when interviewed said, Koi you imagine that ! ! CONNIE (I wanna get married) MARS- DEN has at last realized her ambition. She ' s married, and to none other than the new young president of the Cooperative Bank where she has been employed since graduating from M. H. S. JOAN (I ' d be glad to) MASSA is still doing a wonderful job as payroll clerk at Plymouth Shoe. She is well liked by every- one because of her sweet disposition. DELORES (Make mine Haarala) MA- KI is now a private secretary to a cranberry bog owner in Carver. We hear she makes Memorial High School [ ] Class of Forty - Eight real frequent trips to Camp Edwards and for civilian reasons, too ! ! EDDIE ( W hen I ' m with Barhara) OUE- EETTE completed his training at a milk- tester school, and is now State Milk In- spector of Massachusetts. foyful JOHN SOWYRDA and Noisy NICKY PAWLAK joined the Army soon after graduation and we hear that Uncle Sam is keeping them in for a second hitch because they are such good potato peelers. AGNES (Let ' s lock her out ) SCHOBEL has her own stables now, and we hear she has entered a horse in the Kentucky Derby this year. Wanna make a bet??? RUTH (I never get a tip) SALLEY is in the Tayloring business now, and we hear she is just crazy about her work. JOE (I dunno) SILVA owns his own garage now, and he calls it the YOU BREAK IT, I ' LL HAVE SOMEBODY FIX IT SHOPPE . Joe has plenty of busi- ness because he is such a nice guy and such a capable mechanic. LORRAINE (I wish I were in Plymp- ton) TANGUAY moved to Plympton soon after graduation, and now has a full time job as secretary in Lorry ' s Garage . BETTY (I ' m not half so beautiful to- day as I usually am) THOMPSON has a little business of her own down on Lincoln Street. She is proprietor of a music shop where she specializes in RECORDS . She highly recommends her favorite, MY BUD- DY. NANCY ( My favorite color is Red) CORSINI has finally bought a car of her own with a built in stove for making coffee. Nancy has just had the inside of the car done over in that new shade of RED. LEO (Come up and see my etchings) HAGAN still spends his summer in New Orleans where be now has an annual ex- hibition of his paintings. Since JOANNE (Get out of the road here I come) MAHONEY has been out of school she has had to buy a new car every fall. It seems she wears them out running over sharp people ! ! ! MARILYN (Where there ' s a will, there ' s a way) CHURCHILL is still working dili- gently at her job as secretary in the Town 1 I all, but is thinking of retiring soon and joining forces with the handsome pro- prietor of the Twin Elms Market, which was her favorite hangout during high school days. FRANK (I ' m reallv Sinatra in disguise) MIRAB1TO has gained the title of World ' s Heavy Weight Champ. He got his start in good old M. H. S. His singing between the rounds attracts many female admirers to his fights. ARDAVAST (Guess I ' ll take a day off to go fishing) KAYAJAN has taken over the Nemasket Spring Beverages Company and is a whiz at it. In his spare time he takes a few bottles of tonic and goes fishing, just like he did in high school. BARBARA (Men... I hate ' em!) SHURTLEFF has turned H awaiian. As soon as she was through high school she took the first boat over, and no one has heard from her since. Give us the low down, will ya, Red ? JEAN (I know a guv named Hank) LE BARON has left Middleboro to live in North Falmouth. We understand that she and a certain Mr. Hall have decided that two can live as cheaply as one. DOROTHY (I ' ve only been late four times) MURPHY has at last found her millionaire husband, and lives a life of lux- ury in a penthouse overlooking the Hudson. But even as she sings Penthouse Serenade, she still recalls the good old days at M. H. S. ARNOLD (I ' m kinda shy) THOMAS is now owner of the Thomas Trucking Concern . He stepped right into his fath- er ' s shoes and is doing an excellent job. If ever you need anything, just call on Spark- y, the guy with a twinkle in his eye. KEVIN (I ' m here to talk about the T. V. A.) CASEY is now an engineer down in Tennessee. The T. V. A. is the project he is in charge of, and he is reconstructing it with his own special techniques. GORDON (I ' ll work till I find some- one to support me) MILLS, at the present time in Brazil, is operating an elite nite spot which is well attended by the local cafe society. Says Gordon, quote. This is the life. unquote! JOHN ( I got a gal named Joan ) BIAN- CfllNI, the successful merchant of West Memorial High School [ ]) Class of Forty - Eight Grove Street, now owns a CARD shop. See John for greeting cards for all occasions. THOMAS BUJANSKI was always so quiet in his clays at M. H. S. that we were astonished to hear that he is touring the state giving campaign speeches. After be- coming a well-known lawyer, he entered politics and is now running for governor of Massachusetts. All your old classmates will vote for you, Tommie. ANN O ' NEIL is achieving her dream of learning about life as she tours the globe lecturing on World Peace, a subject she so often talked about back in her high school clays. LORRAINE GORRIE and JOYCE HEGARTY are fashion illustrators for Seventeen in New York. With their artistic ability and love of clothes we know they 11 be a great success. FRANCIS BUZZ DOSARI. a gradu- ate of the University of Massachusetts, has taken the position of coach at Holy Cross. We hear that with his winning personality and great ability he has spurred his teams on to five undefeated seasons. EDWARD CARR must have changed his mind about retiring at twenty-one, for he is selling cars for the Ford Company. During his school clays he was so interested in his own little buggy that he now makes cars his business. High School didn ' t agree with BETTY LOU TESSIER very well and so after graduation she went to California to re- cuperate. That was several years ago — she isn ' t back yet. Guess we ' ll have to take a trip out there and see what the attraction is. MEREDITH CASWELL, after taking care of all the neighbors ' children during her high school clays, has now opened a nursing school. She is doing well. Good practice, too, Meredith. TERRY DAHLQUIST, graduating from the American University, became a history professor at De Pauw University, but he has recently given up his position to become our current Secretary of State. After making such a hit with the girls at M. H. S., DAVID OSBORNE has gone to Hollywood, where he has overcome his shy- ness and is now a popular singer, even sur- passing Frankie. GENE KRUPA has finally retired leav- ing only one ace band drummer. We re- fer, of course, to BILLY MC BANE, who is currently featured at his own night club in New York. BETTY KENDALL, who loves North Carolina, listens nightly on the radio to Mid- dleboro singer who made good in Holly- wood. She got the man she wanted. Who was your final choice, Betty??? DONNIE MITCHELL has become a church historian. Beware, girls ! It is re- ported that he is especially good on dates. ALLEN LEWIS joined the Navy, but after three years he resigned and became head of a high school agricultural depart- ment. AGNES MURDOCH became Middle- boro ' s school nurse. She states unequi- vocally that chewing gum is very bad for the teeth and prohibits any patient of hers from doing it. HENRY MAROIS, who back in high school days stated that his ambition was to become Middleboro ' s professional bum, has returned to America after travelling the world for many years. He recently be- came editor of the Hobo Nezvs. After four years of hard work, HERBIE GIBBS graduated from Northeastern Uni- versity with high honors. He then joined his friend and former classmate, DONALD ROSfiN, who graduated from Tufts. At present the} ' are engaged in an engineering project to build a series of bridges across the Nemasket River. Both GENEVA GAROFALO and JOY- CE CALDWELL have graduated from Sturdy Memorial Hospital and have stayed there to work. We hear they are both doing very well and are excellent nurses. JEAN FERSON, who wrote so many interesting articles for the Sachem, has given up her duties as Dean of Jackson College to become an author. She already has sev- eral best sellers on the market. RAYMOND BAKER, famous for his criticisms in class meetings, is now a well- known corporation lawyer. He has taken time off from his duties in Washington, D. C to write a book, which I know he would Memorial High School [ ] Class of Forty - Eight recommend to all his old classmates. The title is Baker ' s Rules on Parliamentary Procedure . ROBERT STAPLES, excelling in math- ematics in high school, decided to take up engineering. After graduating from M.I. T., he went to Europe to do reconstruction work. ANITA LEWIS, following through with her interest in horses, has recently opened her own riding academy. We understand she has a very profitahle business. DICK (Just let me take life easy) WESTGATE is president of his newly formed Do-Nothing Labor Party. He has succeeded in obtaining his life ' s goal ■ — not to work ! His righthand man is CARL (The Voice) DUPRE. They have an an- nual contest to see which one can do the least. There has been no winner as yet be- cause Dick and Carl are always tied. ROLAND (Farming is easy) MILLS has just sent to Washington for a patent. He plans to cross potatoes with air planes so he won ' t have to dig for them. ROBERT (I skin my own) SHAW, a successful fur-trapper in Canada, supplies beautiful furs to the movie colony and to John Powers ' models. Interesting work, says Bob. BERNARD ( School.. . ' tis a dull and end- less strife) SPARROW opened up a gar- age after graduating from a mechanics school in which he fixes everything from cars to scooters. MARY (I ' ll compete with Petty any day) STUART after completion of art school, went to work for Vogue . She is the sole designer of all the Vog ue Origin- als. ANNE (Taunton ' s my stamping ground) GOODRIDGE now tours the country as Arthur Murray ' s danc ' ng partner. In her spare time she still takes active part in those sports that gave her the title of Best Girl Athlete at M. H. S. WILBUR (Don ' t call me a farmer) HATC H is the new linesman for the New England Tel. Tel. His work, though dang- erous, is very interesting to Wilbur. JOYCE ( Framingham, here I come!) JACOBSON went to Framingham Teach- ers ' College and immediately redecorated the girls ' lounge in a modern manner, con- ducive to both study and relaxation. The school is proud of Joyce ' s ability. JOHN (I ' ll meet you in the library) DUTCHER has donated his life ' s savings to build a library for underprivileged child- ren in the slums of Chicago. He feels that every child should have the advantage of using a library as he did in M. H. S. RICHARD HINCKLEY is playing his own symphonies at Carnegie Hall. All the girls with whom he used to be seen so con- stantly at Tripp ' s during high school days are found sitting in the front row whenever Dick appears. WESTON Sonny KELLEY has set- tled down and become a conservationist. As president of the Fish and Game Club, he gives weekly talks on nothing but wild life. Which kind, Weston?? MARY LEWOCZKO took up dietetics and nursing after graduating from M. H. S. She is now in sole charge of the Shaw Home. BETTY JEAN CASWELL is singing with the Metropolitan Opera Company, and in her spare time she paints portraits in her own studio. We predicted she ' d be a suc- cess. DONALD ARCHIBALD has recently moved to Europe where he is teaching the people how to get along with Americans. He got his experience back in high school, where he always got along well with every- one. ROGER NELSON, after graduating, went to work in one of our local stores. A few years later he decided to open a store of his own. We have it on good authority that he now has a profitable business. DICK HELEEN is the largest cranberry grower in Massachusetts. He is also the most eligible bachelor. What ' s the matter, girls??? GENE MC KAY is about to realize his life ' s dream. Next week he will start work on a mural in one of New England ' s largest churches. We know he ' ll do a wonder- ful piece of work. STANLEY PILSHAW, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with Memorial High School Class of Forty - Eight high honors, has now moved into a little vine-covered cottage in Newton, his dream town, and has established his own business. Good luck, Stan ! FAYE BEMIS became a buyer for a certain South Middleboro concern right af- ter graduating from the University of Ver- mont, but while on a purchasing trip we hear that she was sold on marriage to a cer- tain G. I. ALICE SOUSA, who once said her am- bition was to be able to make up her mind, finally did. She went to Boston University and then came back to become a teacher here in Middleboro. We think that a Hall has more attraction, and so we suspect she may soon become one permanently. BARBARA WALL has opened a hair- dresser ' s shop. Needless to say. this is the first time that a beauty parlor has been patronized by a Mann . In partnership with her is NATALIE TURNER, another Lakeville girl. BILLY COLYIN joined the Navy right after he finished high school and has done remarkably well. In fact, we hear that he is now admiral on his own ship, the S. S. Faye. RITA BRITTON, one of our diamond- ring girls, took the trip to the altar soon after graduation, and from all reports she and Joe are now living happily ever after. GEORGE DEANE has become business editor of the Saturday Evening Post. He rides all around the country getting ads, a practice which he first became acquainted with as business manager of our own Year Book. ELAINE TANGUAY has traveled a- round the world twice, and she says she had a wonderful time. Since she did, we Dink she couldn ' t have been alone, huh, Elaine? Forest Ranger EINAR EDLUND is in Yellowstone National Park enjoying the ex- periences he looked forward to during his high school days. Einar, always a little shy, reports that the bears make excellent com- pany. ROSE SILVA became a dietician and is now working in the U. S. Department of Health in Washington. JANE FICKERT became an airline stewardess but takes time off from her duties to lead every parade in Middleboro. She gained valuable experience as head twirler for the M. H. S. band. Her chief complaint, however, is that her twirler ' s uniform is too short ; she always did want the new look, but we think the old one is O.K. as it is, Jane. MISS THERESA SHEA has become a high school librarian. A confirmed man- hater, she has broken the hearts of numerous suitors and is president of the Unmarried Women ' s Club. GEORGE STETSON has become man- ager of the hotel which he himself built. In his spare time he is also editor of the ad- vice to the lovelorn column of the Middle- boro Gazette. If he thinks one of his fan ' s problems is hopeless, he takes the girl out himself. MAL SHURTLEFF, who said that her ambition was to make a good wife for a six- foot, three-inch blonde with blue eyes, did just that. She and Joe have been voted the outstanding couple of the year. LESLIE GILL has become a world fa- mous draftsman. He recently built a new city which will replace Washington as our capital. He calls it Janehaven. Memorial High School [ ] Class of Forty - Eight CLASS WILL JANE Be it remembered that we, the class of 1948, the only class to graduate Minima Cum Laude , being of sound and dis- posing minds and memories, mindful of the uncertainties of this life, and being desirous of effecting certain distributions of our worldly goods and effects, do declare this to be our last will and testament, — hereby revoking all other wills and their codicils heretofore made by us. After payment of our just debts, funer- al expenses, and the costs of our final ill- ness, we give, devise and bequeath as fol- lows : To the Juniors we will all the wonderful times we have had — especially our enthu- siastic and adventurous class meetings, hop- ing the}- don ' t come to blows ! Jo Mahoney leaves to anyone who wants it, her love for visiting the principal ' s office. To show her devotion to the basketball team, she has memorized every word on the trophy that sits in Mr. March ' s office. Anita Lewis wills to Esther Dunham her ability to twirl, knowing she will put it to good use. We will to Miss Erickson, who has had the privilege of teaching the most brilliant geometry class, a few pennies toward a new car, in the hopes that she gets to Alaska. Betty Kendall leaves her Angel Book to anyone who dares to use it ! Raymond Baker does will and bequeath to the incoming class, his knowledge of oratory for use in class meetings. Dick Heleen, Eddy Carr, and Henry Marois leave their lab assisting job to John McManus, with a box of matches locked up, so he won ' t wreck the joint as a result of an experiment. FICKER ' We do will and bequeath Miss Lewis ' s wonderful speech course to the poor, poor Juniors — don ' t forget to gesture!!! Ardavast Kayajan wills his Get-there-or -else jalopy to anyone who thinks he can drive it. Dave Osborne leaves his popularity with the girls to all the shy Frosh boys. They ' ll need it later on ! Phyllis Holt and Jean Ferson leave their honor positions as valedictorian and saluta- torian to those most deserving of these titles. Terry ' ' Shea wills her ability to gain friends to all those bashful underclassmen. George Deane bequeaths his I-do-it-up- every-night curl to any underclassmen boy who hasn ' t been gifted with natural curly hair or a knack for hairdressing. Anne Goodriclge leaves her contagious laugh to Lee Marsden. Try using it in a study hall, Lee ! To all Sophomores, Terry Dahlquist wills a book of sayings to be memorized by the time they are Seniors. It is entitled THE LAST WORD IN AN ARGU- MENT WITH MR. ALLEN! Buzz Bosari and Donnie Mitchell leave their athletic ability to the 1949 football team in the hope that they can win the Lion ' s trophy back. In testimony whereof the said class has hereunto affixed its hand this 16th day of June, Nine teen Hundred and Forty Eight. Signed, sealed, published, and declared bv the above named class of 1948 as and for its last will and testament in my pres- ence as a witness this 16th day of June, 1948. £ y Or- 9Vf Attttrtftt FACULTY First Row : Mrs. Margaret Dodge, Mr. Edward Whitmore, Mr. Ernest E.

Overdue books are becoming more unusual every day because of the overdue slips put out by Mrs. Dodge and Terry Shea . . . The library itself has a new look . . . Phyl Holt keeps the maga- zines in order every day . . . Lois Cole and Ter- ry Shea see to it that all messy books have new backs and pockets . . . Many outsiders have shown their interest by their gifts of books and magazines.

Second Row : Phyllis Sousa, Joan Zilonis, Gloria Nichols, Zilpah Kobcrds, Elaine Tanguay, Ann O ' Ncil, Agnes Murdoch, Betty Kendall, Mr. Ernest Thomas, Administrator. Luncheon — something very essential to M. H.S. — as you know. Miss Luipold heads the cooking staff with Mrs. Weeman, Mrs. Alden, and Mrs. Baker assisting. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Wilber just sort of keep the whole thing going — acting as salesmen, traffic officers. Some of the faces that greet you from behind the counters : Gloria Nichols and Joyce Caldwell — no cold reception from them ; Phyllis Souza, Ruth Salley, and Alice Sousa have sandwiches and other things well stacked ; the sweet stuff is handed out by Agnes Murdoch, June Cooper, Elaine Tanguay, and Ann O ' Neil ; Carolyn Kendall and Mary Lou Sullivan see that you don ' t eat with your fingers. Other little helpers — Terry Shea, Marjorie Guidoboni, Joan Zilonis, Mecca Mekelones, Gloria Tripp, Jeanne Mathews, Eva Travis. Let ' s not forget Terry Guertin, quite an addition to any lunchroom. The kids handed out during the year about 25,000 lunches, 26,000 sandwiches and things in other lines. OFFICE MACHINE GROUP Mary Stuart, Joyce Hcgarty, Marilyn Healey, Mrs. Esther Moore, Adviser, Sylvia Greene, Jean- nette Houlihan. Smallest organization, proudly proclaiming five members — This group, although only two years old, shows a high standard of efficiency — Handling money and operating numerous mach- ines are their main contributions to M.H.S. — Mrs. Moore helps them struggle through and pre- sides over their work, as only she can.

They get to see the Teachers Play and Senior Play (did we ever find out who was splashing water in the ranks?) But this year they will be missing at the banquet scene. Mr Churchill tries hard to get everyone playing at the same time — being at times successful and at others . Weston Kelley gets in lots of con- versation with Pat Skahill. We wonder what keeps Stan Pilshaw busy in the corner — could it be his female colleagues? Bill Drummer Boy McBane in his reverie — still the bass violinist ? Ann O ' Neil tries desperately to make some noise on the violin but is overpowered by the cornets across the row. George Deane, of recent grass skirt and red-earring fame, keeps the kids in his section busy laughing at his little antics.

Mr. Churchill ' s pride and joy, an a capella choir with full academic credit and classes every day — the group will be one year old next fall — Since their beginning they ' ve acquired dark blue robes and now look quite dignified — However, they still manage to throw themselves into Comin ' Through the Rye ' ' and Dry Bones in a manner which has the audience tapping its collective foot and applauding for more — M.H.S. is one of the few schools around here to boast such an organization. The members of the a capella choir aren ' t the only ones who like to sing, so the Thursday morn- ing choir carries on . . . It furnishes a good train- ing ground for underclassmen aspiring to the a capella choir . . . and even if you can ' t make that select group, there ' s no need to limit your singing to the shower . . . Mr. Churchill can al- ways use an extra tenor of strong voice and in- dependent mind. SACHEM First Row: George Dcanc.

Because of the economical ways of Phyl Holt, George Deane and Herbie Gibbs, the SACHEM saved $101) in printing costs this year ...More pages were added and fewer ads appeared ...The literary department improved under the direction of its co-editors, Stan Pilshaw and Ann O ' Neil. ..Donald Rosen and Agnes Schobel hit a homer, as the saying goes, with their ingenious ideas for sports. ..George Deane with his flash bulb and Betty Maranville with her favorite line, I promise you, you ' ll get your picture back made photography the snap-shottiest it ' s ever been. ..Those ace business men, Gibbs and Bosari, surprised us by their ability to make everyone buy the SAC 1 1 P.M. even to the extent of inciting window-breaking and water pistoling between 27 and C2...The gossip guy and gal were Kelley and Murphy, who always managed to embarrass someone in their school notes. ..The girls who did a lot of work with little credit were the typists, urged on by Eleanor Connolly (Lavallee?) ... Jean Ferson has become known as a cover girl because of her clever ideas for SACHEM covers... Phyl Holt and Gloria Nichols had a brainstorm and the results were the class pages gossipply written by Freshman Alger, Sophomore Andrews, Junior Small, and Senior Shea. ..Why even Miss Lewis and Miss O ' Neil admit they had a compara- tively easy year because of the capable and adapt- able editors and staff.

The prime purpose of the League is to promote friend- ship among all girls . . . Early in the year a LEAGUE special feature was the Box Lunch Social, which was admission free, so almost everyone came . . . the cheap skates ! But the fellows found out it isn ' t always the woman who pays when they had to bid for a lunch ... A very impressive Christ- mas assembly was another feat to be chalked up for the Girls ' League . . . Probably the social best remembered was Stunt Night, put on jointly by the Girls ' League and the Sachem . . . The committees, officers, and members are responsible for the success of these ingenious plans. SENIOR PLAY Left to Right: Betty Maranville, John Dahlquist, Betty Lou Tessier, Bettie Ann U nite. Stanley Pilshaw, Herbert Gibbs, Phyllis Holt, Betty Thompson, Jane Fickert, Donald Rosen, Mari- lyn Shurtleff. Laughter and tears marked the production of Little Women — that difficult scene between Jo Waite and Beth Tessier caused many a moistened handkerchief — John Brooks ' ' Rosen and Meg Shurtleff certainly turned out to be heated lovers, if only for a moment — Aunt March Maranville and Grandfather Dahlquist staggering offstage under their combined weights — the masterly reading of her will by Amy Holt — Laurie Gibbs proved himself both a Casa- nova and a philosopher — Marmee Thompson probably received more dutiful attention from her daughters then they ' d like to give their real- life Marmees — Hannah Fickert ' s gray hair left a slight mist behind her on that drafty Town Hall stage — Professor Pilshaw choking with a tight collar for three acts — those eventful re- hearsals can ' t be described with ordinary words — Don Archibald ' s stage crew building the library set and generally proving themselves to be muscle men — the authentic tinkles, crashes, days, and nights created by Kelley and Deane — whispered cues from Anne Goodridge and Betty Caswell — Mr. Allen guiding the ticket sale — Mr. Churchill and the orchestra tootling between the acts — Mrs. Matheson ' s invaluable aid in costumes, make-up, and sets — Air. Deich lending a helping hand backstage — Miss Alden ' fine coaching job and her efforts to get the most out of the cast — Betty Lou pumping the organ and Dahlquist ' s getting stuck in the window of the men ' s dressing room — the suspense before and the relief afterwards — It sure was fun !

The boys, as well as learning the right side on which to milk a cow and where to look for potatoes, also did some work on public speaking — Maybe we ' ll have some orators. The boys are conspicuous by their absence at the end of the year. Lucky? They get out of school, but they have to work. When Allen Lewis and Ro- land Mills get together, no doubt they discuss landscape and certain scenery. John Bianchini must like chicks — chickens that is. We wonder how often Eddy Ouellette spills the milk — lit- erally and figuratively. Einar Edlund makes ice cream at Farrar ' s — um-m-m very interesting. We ' ve heard the boys can ' t do much fooling — Mr. Tufts and Mr. Reed keep them on the straight and narrow. The girls wouldn ' t mind — with Mr. Reed. The boys wouldn ' t mind — with girls. Quoth Eddy Ouellette: No fun — no girls. SADDLE CLUB First Row: Anita Mcnda ' l. Anita Lewis. Second Row : T atalic Lang, Lorraine Gorric, I ' ice- President, Agnes Schobcl, President, Jean Le Baron.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Seated: Barbara Smith, Anne Whitmorc, Joyce Hopkins. Standing: Richard Maltais, George McCrillis, Treasurer Henry Marois, Secretary, George Deane. President, Bruce Matheson. rice-Presi- dent, Lorenzo Wood, Laurence Osborne. The photography club of M.H.S. was organ- ized in the beginning of this school year by Mr. Samuel Deich. — The purpose of this club is to give M.H.S. students a good knowledge of photo- graphy, including taking pictures, developing the film, printing the pictures, and making enlarge- ments. — The course consisted of using the dark- room of the school, organized and financed by the club with the generous aid of Winthrop-Atkins Co., slide pictures, lectures and other practical experiences. Judging from the rapid development of the club, it isn ' t hard to see that it will, in the near future, become one of the biggest and best organ- izations in M.H.S.

There he goes around the end of the line ! Ten yards, fifteen yards, twenty yards! How many times did we hear this yell as Mitchell or Bosari or some one of our football players scored or made a great gain for M.H.S. Although this year ' s record included three victories against seven defeats, the boys were always fighting for the top whether victory or defeat was certain. BASKETBALL First Row : Francis Bosari, Stanley Sawicki, Robert Sherman, Paul Jones, Donald Mitchell. Captain, Eugene Anacki. Raymond Moffett. Curtis Osborne, William McBane, Richard Westgate. Second Row : Coach Alfred Farley. Richard Jeffer- son, Richard Morse, Frank Whitney, Alfred Mackiewics, Nicholas Martin. Paul Callan. Richard Kyrouc, Coach Henry Battis. Our basketball team, for the second consecu- tive year, has brought great honor to M.H.S. Thirty games were played with only four lost. The team became South Shore Class A Champ- ions and went on to the Eastern Massachusetts Class B Tech Tournament. At the Boston Garden the boys were defeated by Belmont by only eight points. Seniors included Captain Donnie Mitchell, Buzz ' Bosari, Bill McBane, Gene Anacki, and Dick Westgate.

They won the first three games, and then luck ran against them in the next four games, but their teamwork was superb throughout. Anne Goodridge was the high scorer, and was co-captain with Connie Marsden. The second team foretells a rosy future, as their record for this year is four wins and two losses. GIRLS ' HOCKEY First Row: Jeanne Buisson, Anne Goodridge. Joanne Mahoney, Co-Captain, Co istancc Mars- den. Co-Captain, Eleanor Washburn, Shirley Churchill.

The Girls ' Hocke y Team of 1948 was an outstanding team, having won four games out of six. Under Co-Captains Jo Mahoney and Connie Marsden and Coach Bartlett, the teams displayed fine co-operation and sportsmanship. The ab- sence of seniors Marsden, Mahoney. and Good- ridge will be greatly felt next year. Memorial High School ![ ] Class of Forty - Eight SALUTATORY JEAX FERSOX Superintendent dishing. School Officials, Principal March. Faculty, Parents, and Friends : It is all too easy for us to forget the great amount of work required to guide a group of young people through school. We rarely think of the hehind-the-scenes cooper- ation of faculty, school officials, and par- ents. But this is one occasion when we give much deserved acknowledgment to the people who have made this graduation possible. The class of 1948 hopes by this program to con- firm your confidence in us as useful citizens. MIDDLEBORO HAS AN HISTORICAL PAST PHYLLIS HOLT — Valedictorian Middleboro has had its moments in his- tory. Plymouth boasts a beginning in 1620, but we can outdo even that. Middleboro at that time was a thriving Indian settle- ment called Nemasket. The name is from the Indian words nemah, ' ' meaning fish and et, meaning the place of — the place of fish. To us, of course, Middleboro is worthy of special attention, but would you ever believe that it actually led a charmed existence? In 1616 there was a great Indian plague which wiped out whole villages, leaving only death in its wake. Strangely enough, as it ap- proached Middleboro, it parted and contin- ued on its path of death, sparing for the most part the settlement here. The Xemaskets were constantly warring with the Xarrangansetts. Once when the Indian fort was guarded by only eight In- dians, Xarragansetts were spotted creeping about. Showing typical quick-wittedness and sagacity, the eight quickly donned their blan- kets and weapons, slipped out the back door along the bank, and then boldly walked in the front door of the fort. They repeated this until the foe retreated — afraid to at- tack such a well-guarded fort. Those who dared to wander from the Ply- mouth settlement constituted Middleboro ' s first settlers. Although the majority were sons and daughters of the 1620ers, we also claimed some two or three of the original .Mayflower voyagers. In 1669, the settlement was incorporated into the town of Middleberry, later to be- come Middleboro. It is interesting to know that the other Middleboro in the world is located in England, and that letters from both Europe and the South Pacific, addressed to just Middleboro, have reached here safely. In 1676 one of the bloodiest and most destructive wars in the history of Xew Eng- land broke out. King Philip ' s War was a conspiracy to wipe out all the white settle- ments and Middleboro was right in the thick of the plot and the battle. The incident which actually caused the outbreak happened right up here on Assawompset Pond. There was a Xemasket Indian preacher named John Sassamon who was an apostle of John Eliot. When he learned of Philip ' s plans, he notified the Plymouth authorities. He was evidently found out, for only a week later his body was found under the ice of Assawompset. The murderers were found to be Indians who were tried and condemned to death by the Plymouth court. This so en- raged Philip that he made his attack short- ly after. • Middleboro was right in the midst of the attack. Every building was burned. Xo property was spared. However, the major- ity of the colonists found refuge in the fort on the river. The Indians tried to provoke an attack by sending an Indian up near the hand-rock to taunt the whites with insulting words and gestures. The colonists shot him from a distance of 155 rods with a gun 7 ft. 4}4 in- long. It was so heavy that they had to rest it on a man ' s shoulder. The atrocities during this war were num- erous. Both the Indians and whites were offenders. When Philip was finally killed, the English had him beheaded and had his head erected on a pole in Plymouth where it remained on public exhibition for over 20 years. The Indian who shot him pre- Memorial High School [ ] Class of Forty - Eight served his right hand in rum and collected pennies from its exhibition. Middleboro, like most places, had had its share of characters and famous personal- ities. One woman named Hannah Reed used to walk to Boston in a day to shop. She was evidently quite rugged, for once a clerk bet that he dared kiss her. He did and was thrown out of the store bodily by the indig- nant Hannah. The name Hannah must sig- nify size, for another Hannah. Hannah Grossman, carried a muff large enough for a child to crawl through. One of our most famous people was De- borah Sampson who fought in the Revolu- tionary War. She secretly wove herself a man ' s suit and enlisted. Finally, when she was seriously wounded, a doctor found her out. When she donned a dress and revealed her secret to the men with whom she had fought side by side, they were astonished, as you can well imagine. You ' ve all heard of our famous midget, Lavinia Warren, better known as Mrs. Tom Thumb, but did you know that Middleboro also had a giant? The Indians told a story of a man of great strength with whom they had many contests. They claimed he was killed during Philip ' s War. This story was confirmed when a few years ago his remain were found. The skeleton measured 7 feet, 8 inches and a double row of teeth were found in each of his jaws. Without a doubt Middleboro ' s past has been eventful as well as picturesque. The first settlers provided a firm foundation up- on which we must now build. They have created a past to be proud of and have left the future to us. VALEDICTORY We ' ve spent four years at M. H. S. — an experience which we conclude tonight. Suddenly we realize we are at the close of perhaps the happiest years that we shall ever see. The friendships we ' ve formed, the friendlv interests teachers have shown us, the little things we ' ve done together have made these years the best. Though we shall go our various ways seeking individual goals, let ' s not forget these years which have placed us on the threshold of a new life, for we finish to begin. CLASS OF 1948 ODE Words by Ann O ' Ncil Music by Anne Goodridgc We stand by doors so soon to open wide ; We know the world of Life is just outside; And though we ' ve waited for this hour drawn near, We hesitate to leave our moments here. But we must go ; Today is ours. The friends we ' ve had, the little things we ' ve done, The hours spent, though lost, we still have won. But yesterday is over and the gates Before us open wide — Today awaits. Come let us go ; Today is ours. 5PDN5DR5 hltt 5PDN5DR5 OUR REWARD: in photographing many students of the class of 1948 is in knowing that these students of Middleboro High School have received the finest in Photographic Service. IN YEARS TO COME: we would enjoy working with the graduating class and year book staff as much as we have this year. NEXT YEAR: let us assist you.
