£ ' THE TONTOQUONIAN for 1944 A Production in 5 Acts Presented by the Students of the Saugus High School Saugus, Massachusetts CREDITS: General Direction MR. Albert Moylan Pictures and Finance MISS HAZEL MARISON Seniors ' Pictures MISS HELEN TOWLE Classes and Activities MiSS Evelyn Rodgers Alumni MRS. FRANCES EGAN To all members of the student body and of the faculty who have helped in creating this annual, our deepest appreciation. DEDICATION This Edition of THE TONTOQUONIAN Is Respectfully Dedicated to Members of the Class of 1944 and Members of the Faculty of Saugus High School Who Are Serving in the Armed Forces of The United States of America To the Members of the Graduating Class of 1944: Not For Ourselves, But For ALL. This is your class motto. The prin- ciple enunciated in these six words could well be the basic cornerstone for any program of permanent world peace. It is the principle of altruism against egoism. It is the principle of world cooperation versus extreme nationalism. More simply stated it is the creed of unselfishness against the creed of selfish- ness. World War II unquestionably has its roots, if not its inception, in egoism, extreme nationalism, and selfishness. If the coming generations of the nations of the world live up to the spirit of your class motto, world horizons will indeed be brighter and the future more hopeful. To each of you the best of luck and good fortune. May each of you live your life in true conformity to the ideal expressed in your self-chosen class motto. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools. [4] To the Class of 1944: During the last several years few of our graduates have gone on to higher schools of learning. Many of our graduates, although prepared for college, have been lured away by the high wages being paid in industry. In other words, these young people have given very little thought to what the future may have in store for them. Together with this we have heard considerable com- ment of late that Saugus High School does not prepare for college. Contrary to the belief of some of our critics, our school has an A rating and can certify pupils for college. It is gratifying to note that there is an increase in the num- ber of your class making definite plans to further your education next fall. This is a healthy sign. I am making an appeal to all of you who can to con- tinue your education. Those of you who will be called into service should take advantage of the training program offered by the United States Armed Forces Institute. Plans are being formulated, too, whereby veterans may get further training after they have been mustered out of service. My advice to all of you is to look to the future and prepare yourselves for the post-war period. John A. W. Pearce, Principal. [51 Edward Gibbs. 3rd U. S. Army Donald Hammond U. S. Army (Official U.

CLASS OF 1945 ! r% jtt •r «, j U H , i H ' t -A A a PS l JUNIOR REPORT The well organized class of 1945, under the guidance of Mr. Edward Hayes, held their elections early in the year. The following officers were se- lected : President Thomas deSteuben Vice-President Anna McFarlane Secretary Norma Nyberg Treasurer Clayton Foote In September, we received our class rings with a great deal of pride and pleasure. d$f§ The greatest event of the year was the Junior Prom, held on February 11th. Colorful decorations, fine music by Len Green, and the glamor of the gowns made it an unforgettable evening. Other social events were not up to their usual standard because of war conditions. The last major event of the year was the Senior Reception. Many meetings were held, and the cooperation of the entire class made the year one of the most enjoyable we have had.

The Sophomores elected the following class officers: President , Lloyd Parsons Vice-President George Miles Secretary Patricia Wyatt Treasurer Shirley Rodgers We were well represented in basketball by Blundell, Merrithew, Nagle, Nickerson, Tilly, Vatcher, and Winter. Under the captainship of Esther Gibbs, the girls ' team won the championship of the school. Lettermen on the football team were George Miles and Bruce Waybright. There were others who practiced faithfully and will probably become stars in the future. We are looking forward to next year with much eagerness; if it turns out as well as this year, we shall be contented.

However, we had a very successful year under the guidance of our efficient adviser, Miss Louise Solomita, and our capable officers: President Clifford Harris Vice-President Richard Mallar Secretary Marilyn MacLean Treasurer Marilyn Comfort Suggestion Boxes were put in Room 209 and the Study Hall. A Mascot Committee was formed to secure pins for those who had fully paid their dues. A Poster Committee made attractive Pay Your Dues post- ers which were placed in all the rooms. The Social Committee made the ar- rangements for the socials the class held, and the Hospitality Committee sent cards to the sick. There were six outstanding boys who answered the call of football. We were all very proud of Clifford Harris who got his letter. Theresa Nagle was chosen as Captain of the girls ' basketball team.

SENIOR PLAY THE HIGH SCHOOL MYSTERY Directed by Mrs. Anderson A howling success we declare the mystery drama produced by the Sen- ior Class of 1944 and presented on March 19th. A very interesting plot was well under way before the audience realized that this was a play within a play. The high school students attempt to put on a play but they are hindered by a disappointed mother, whose daughter was not given a part in the play, and a prowling maniac. The leading lady is kidnapped, but Cook, the sheriff, and Pike, the hero, come to the rescue. Bloodcurdling screams, horrifying laughs, switching on and off of lights, and people popping up from the audience were all part of this unique play. Full of surprises and original twists, the play was definitely one of the best ever put on by a Senior Class. Many tributes are due to its cast and director. Will you ever forget: Phil Batchelder as a clumsy, complaining housemaid, screaming because she was afraid of a man? Cook and Pike ' s wrestling bout? Mai Ward ' s breath-taking death fall? Cook as a decrepit old sheriff afraid of his shadow? Sharp actually admitting in public that he is a wolf? York and Sears in their Hollywood berets?

Despite lack of experience and some weight, the team, newly coached by Dave Lucey, assisted by Leo Reardon and Belden Bly, produced some highly unexpected results. CHELSEA The initial contest on Saugus High ' s schedule brought the Red Devils to our wigwam. Both inexperienced teams were often hampered by penalties. Co-captain Doug Waybright and Bobby Kane led us from mid-field with con- sistent line plunging. Then Leon Cook, Dan Sharp and Frank Pyszko mixed up some sparkling rushes. The climax, a quarterback sneak by Cook, brought the lone touchdown. Sharp added the point for our cause. In the second half our stalwart line proved their worth as they kept Chelsea at bay, though the Red Devils ' fullback, Opolka, gained around end. Ends, Co-captain Mac- Dougall and Art Spinney, played standout ball, continually hampering the op- posing punt receivers. WOBURN Hitting the road, our Sachem invaders cunningly outclassed a heavy Wo- burn aggregation. The blocking supplied by our line gave us ample oppor- tunity upon which we capitalized. A 75-yard drive via the ground sent Kane over from the three-yard line. Cook returned the second half kick-off for fif- teen yards, and then sent Pyszko on the play of the game — 65 yards for a score. Not a defender touched him. Dan Sharp added this point and the one following a Pyszko-to-Spinney touchdown pass, making the total 20-0. The Tanners had little to say as Waybright and Kane then ran wild. BEVERLY Valuable inspiration was contributed by the so-called Saugus drugstore quarterbacks ' slogan, Toss Toz for a loss. It also helped draw a crowd of 6,000. [71] Our old coach, though shorthanded, was prepared. He kept us busy with his varied formations till late in the second period, when we broke loose enough to pound out a 6-0 lead from deep in our own territory. Hathaway nearly broke away to open the third period, showing that Toz was still in there fight- ing. However, the fourth period showed Coach Lucey, his former B. C. un- derstudy, had the winning combination on the field. Jim MacDougall tackled Bresnahan for a safety before he could punt out of danger. Then Cook caught a Beverly pass shortly after the kick-off. To assure our supremacy Sharp bold- ly ran the sidelines for a score after receiving Pyszko ' s forward enroute. Dan promptly intercepted another; Pyszko cut off tackle for the final score. Bob Thurell highlighted the line play and contributed essential punts. AMESBURY On October ninth the Carriage Makers brought with them more than their usual defensive trickery and thereby became the first to dent our slate. Nine punts were registered in the first half alone. A 40-yard (Papoulias to Brown) forward proved our undoing, though Cook brought down the receiver. Our line held Casey twice, but yielded after an end sweep. We took to the air in vain throughout the fourth period, but would have scored easily with more sup- port from the umpire. The game was marked by ferocious contact. MELROSE Upon invading Melrose we discovered what all their previous opponents had: they had a powerful well coached eleven which eventually ended the sea- son undefeated and untied. Forbes, Sheridan and Le Troy starred as the Raid- ers proceeded to capitalize on all chances, 19-0. Pyszko ' s passes to Sharp made up the best part of our attack, as mud and our own miscues let Melrose build up that score. NEWBURYPORT Completely outclassing the visitors, our Sachems ran away with the laurels, 32-7. After Co-Captain Doug Waybright plowed over for two eatly scores, there was no hope for the Porters. Coach Lucey started filling in the reserves after Vient ran forty odd yards for an interception score. Later, Waybright, on a 67-yard interception, outdistanced the Porters who were not cut down by trulv beautiful blocking. Sharp converted two placements, but this was not all. Newburyport ' s score came when Haley pitched a touchdown pass against strict- ly third team opposition. However, Sachem Blundell added another score to our ledger by streaking down the sideline with another long pass. LYNN CLASSICAL A costly fumble within five minutes of the start brought woe to the Sach- ems, though k was not realized at the time. The Green recovered on our 17- yard line. Though we halted their rushes, as we did all day, they scored on a 10-yard pass. From then on we dominated the play at mid-field, but could not score as the perfect Pyszko passes were slipping through our hands. Classi- cal total of nine was completed when Waybright was caught for a safety while trying to run out Grady ' s punt to the one-foot line. In three plays we moved from our 20-yard line to the visitors ' 10; there they held for downs. [74] SWAMPSCOTT After Bailey ' s 56-yard run to our 10-yard line where Doug Waybright snagged him, we speedily moved to Swampscott ' s eight where they in turn closed the road. Throughout the third period the Sculpins were kept from pay dirt by the fighting Sachems, paced by Thurell ' s punts. However, a fourth- down pass from Grant to Murray broke our spell. Bailey converted the lone chance and though we flooded the air with footballs, we could not score. MARBLEHEAD November 13th proved to have little effect on the rejuvenated Sachems. The mighty Magicians had their hands full coping with our stellar plays in the scoreless first half. The third period ushered in the famous steam rollers. The Headers scored on a Hayes to Captain Chapman pass after a fifty-yard surge, but gambled on the extra point. The dropkick failed. The following kick-off resulted in an odd situation. The ball being free after traveling 10 yards, the Headers immediately recovered it. But our Sach- em line threw them for a loss forcing a punt into the end zone. Gathering steam, our pile driver plowed steadily up, then down, the field. Killer Kane went over from the four to knot the count, and as the momentum was still there, Danny Sharp sent the tense fans into an uproar. We were on our way again when our attack stalled so Waybright concluded the happy day with an interception. WAKEFIELD A grudge game throughout proved to be the summation of this annual Turkey Day attraction. Frequent punting was essential on the muddy, icy gridiron to keep alive a chance of victory. Mr. Lucey started an all senior eleven giving the boys a chance to win their letters. The visitors, with not a victory to their credit, fumbled away this game also. Contact grew to a greater peak and the field more slippery in the second half as we staged four powerful drives to the Wakefield 20-yard line. Doug Waybright nearly broke up the 0-0 tie with a 65 -yard punt return which was nullified by officials. Thus concluded a season which had its ups and downs, but one which most ardent followers of Saugus High School football games decided was more successful than the prospects warranted. (Ed.

They really earned this pennant as they brought the name of Saugus into first place in the Massachusetts State Meet for class B high schools They had the fifth fastest clocking, following Concord, Winchester, Arlington and East Boston. Jf you observe carefully the inscription, you will note that we are the cham- pions of our class. We finished first at the Northeastern Invitation High School Track Meet, sponsored by Northeastern University. Among those trailing us were Hyde Park, East Boston, Jamaica Plain and Brighton. Although we have lost several all inclusive meets, such as those taking place on field days, our relay combination has not lost an individual race. One reason for such consistent success is the fight for laurels between the Relay Team and the Cross Country Team. The only blemish on their record is the double defeat dealt by potent Melrose. Everett, St. John ' s High of Dan- vers, and Beverly all received thorough trouncings. Both teams have former members serving Uncle Sam.

BOYS ' BASKETBALL Enlarging our fields of endeavor once more, Saugus High School officially applied for admission in early December to the Northeastern Conference. This application was accepted and affects only basketball. We, the baby of the six school league, valiantly pioneered through the ten-game schedule as our record will attest. Due to the lack of a proper gym- nasium, and of inexperience we succeeded in capturing only one contest. This, the last on our schedule, was over our old Danvers rivals. The score was 33- 21. The faculty, however, also tasted defeat from our five, 49-37, the game being marked by the appearance of famous stars in the faculty line up such as Gintoff, Hooper, besides Lucey, Leahy and Bly. The popularity of basketball at Saugus is evident when one remembers how jammed the Community House always was. The following Sachems received letters for their outstanding work: David Nagle, Robert Nickerson, Donald Reiniger, Herbert Sawyer, Arthur Spinney, Calvin Vatcher, and Douglas Waybright. [78] ACT FIVE UJX THE FAILURE I ' m getting to be an old man; I haven ' t accomplished much. He sighed, I ' m what you might call a failure. I looked at my grandfather, a tired, rather shabby man, but neat and well- pressed. I wouldn ' t say that, Gramp, I an- swered thoughtfully. Well, Mr. Heckman has a new car each year, five or six suits of clothes, and takes a trip when he wants to. Why, all the men of my acquaintance are much bet- ter off financially than I am. He slumped in his easy chair, tuned in the radio to his favorite commenta- tor, thus automatically ending our conversation. As I looked at him, my thoughts went back several years. He must have been a younger man then, but to me his age was static, I can still remember the talk he was having with my grandmother. I overheard it from the swing in the garden. He ' s a good man, but he ' s having his share of tough luck. But with five children, I must help him still further. It seems to me, said my grandmother, that he ' s had a lot of your help. I know that, but a few months more might see him on his feet. But it didn ' t. However, the five children had been fed and clothed, the friend ' s rent had been paid, and presently he departed for New York with tick- ets bought by my grandfather, and a loan of a hundred dollars in his pocket. Perhaps he made a fresh start there. No one ever heard. That was my first recollection, but as I ' ve grown older, I have found that this incident was only one of a series. There was a student at the high school where my grandfather taught. The boy ' s father had died, and he was about to leave school to go to work. However, he stayed to graduate. Gramp saw to that. There was no new car that year. During the depression his salary was slim; yet it stretched amazingly. I don ' t think anyone but Gramp knew how many families this salary helped. Perhaps even Gramp has forgotten. In all his life I never knew him to say no to any plea for help. However, many whom he befriended have returned, at various times to thank him, much to his discomfort. I guess I was well on my way to being a street-corner wise guy, I heard a young man say to my grandfather a few years ago. You were always a good boy, retorted my grandfather. Don ' t under- estimate yourself. [80] I just wanted to tell you, sir, that if you hadn ' t stepped in when I was in that scrape with the gang from Charleston Street, I might not be going where I am today. That ' s what I want to hear about, said Gramp heartily. They tell me that you are on your way to South America for the Lewis Contracting Co. His enthusiasm matched that of the young man. And so I looked at my grandfather, now dozing by the radio. A failure? I shouldn ' t think so! Thomas Morse, ' 45. A PRAYER To say a little prayer each night Will make you feel that all is right, For only God can make your life A happy one amid the strife. To say a little prayer each night Will give you courage through the fight, For God gives strength to those who pray And helps them through a trying day. To say a little prayer each night Will help to make your journey light — For only he who says his prayers Will ever climb the Golden Stairs. Annie Muzichuk, ' 44. 81 1 SON OF A HERO John Rollins was a coward. Everyone in his squadron knew it. During the last three raids over Berlin he had pretend ed to attack enemy planes but had zoomed away from the battle without firing. John was the son of the famous ace of the last war, Wildcat Rollins. Wildcat Rollins had been nicknamed thus because of the picture of a wildcat crouched for action on the cowling of the plane. He had fought like a wild- cat, too, until a flight of ten Fokkers had downed him. He was a hero until the last moment, taking down three of the ten planes with him. John Rollins had tried to follow his father ' s footsteps by joining the air force in this war. Each time Rollins would force himself to attack enemy planes but as soon as he saw the fighter his father ' s plane appeared before him plummeting in his Spad in a flaming dive. Every time John ' s nerve broke and he flew blindly away from the fight. Today was the last day that John Rollin s had to redeem himself. If he didn ' t fight today he would be placed in the ground forces. The men were sitting in the ready room, drinking, when the loudspeaker blasted, Twenty Messerschmitts. Sector 9. Good luck and thumbs up. Sector 9 took off. They encountered the M. E. ' s. The Germans outnumbered the British five to one. Rollins made up his mind that he would fight until he died, as his father had done, rather than be a coward. He attacked the tail of one of the planes. The enemy plane skidded wildly to get away from the Spitfires ' deadly guns. Rollins ruddered his plane a little to get the Messerschmitt in the gunsight. The plane jerked under as he pressed the trigger which fired his guns. The white tracers hit the gas tank of the M. E. and the plane burst into a flaming torch. Rollins had licked his fear and paid his debt to the Nazis. That night John went to have a last look at his plane. On the cowling of the Spitfire was a crouching wildcat. Beneath it were the words Wildcat Rollins. Robert Waitte, ' 47. [82] GRADUATION DAY At last! At last! The day has come! Or does it sadness bring for some? Just let us search these twelve years past For cherished memories long to last. Pigtail pullings — grades one and two, And secret clubs with Sarah Sue; Doo, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, doo — Those trying days have gone now, too. A shy smile passes now between Teacher ' s problem and village queen. Remember when, back in grade three, Notes passed slyly from you to me? These treasures all, we store away For reference on some future day When memories rise, and back we look To days of pencil, rule, and book. Ruth Burwell, ' 44. [83] MIZPAH On December 7, 1943, the United States aircraft carrier Tippicanoe slid down the ways at the Fall River Shipyard at Quincy, Mass. Here during the next few months she was outfitted and commis- sioned into the service of the U. S. Navy. At New York she re- ceived her full comple- ment of men along with pilots and planes. One of these pilots was young Lieut. Roger Cramer of Pottsville, Wisconsin. He was a quiet lad. He wrote very few letters and talked about his past life even less. The crew seemed to like him. He did his job well and was a boy likely to succeed. The ship left New York and went south through the Panama Canal, then across the Pacific to Honolulu. Here they joined a tank force and immedi- ately went into action, but Cramer failed to get his baptism under fire. At last his chance to go into battle came and he was over anxious to get into it. The night previous to the engagement he was seen writing a letter but the crew let it pass in the hustle previous to an expectant battle. The next day Cramer and the rest of the men aboard the carrier went in- to battle. The planes took off early in the morning and gave the Jap base at Truk a thorough blasting. When the planes returned at noon their ranks were not complete. Among the gallant airmen who were missing after this foray was Lieut. Cramer. He was gone but not forgotten by those who know him. The men kept a lonely vigil for the missing planes far into the night, but at last they gave up hope for the missing men. Cramer ' s senior officer gathered up the last remains of Cramer ' s things and found among them a letter ad- dressed to Miss Linda Baird. The following are excerpts from the last letter of Lieut. Roger Cramer who died in action against the enemy. My dear, I know I left you in rather an abrupt manner. Under the circumstances there was nothing else that I could do. I started to write time and time again, but that failed. That foolish thing called self-pride stopped me from doing this. Out here that pride has been forgotten. I am writing to you hoping that the past will be forgotten and that we might return to the way we should have been always. [84] Many of my friends are now dead. To me it seemed that each died with a feeling that I ' d call bravery. After the war is over, you should not recall it in terms of the battles that we have won or the peace we have secured; rather in terms of the men who have given their lives to save this nation. I am not writing this with any thought that I will get mine. If I do, however, I want you to know that I died for my country and died loving you more than I can ever say. I miss you, sweetheart, but we ' ll be together soon — I know that. Until then, Mizpah. Roger ( Mizpah, Biblical term meaning, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent, one from another. ) Marcus Ralph, ' 45. THE MILITARY STATE OF AFFAIRS Slogans, slogans, everywhere, O ' er the land, yes, in the air: Buy a bond and slap a Jap ; Wipe the Germans off the map. Mustn ' t kick about the taxes, We need cash to beat the axis, Red Cross drive — Don ' t be a glutton, Give up cokes and buy a button. Rations, rations, everywhere, No more tokens than your share; Pull in belt before you eat, To get a chop is quite a feat. Buicks, Packards, everywhere, Parked in the garage, And if you see some sugar, It ' s only a mirage. All out for production Is really hitting home; Paper ' s getting scarcer — Gotta end this poem. Evelyn Pratt, ' 44. [85] I ' LL BE A BETTER GIRL TOMORROW Hopefully each morn I rise, And wash the cobwebs from my eyes Oh, what a lovely day, I sing, Perhaps some luck this day will bring. I brush my teeth, I scrub my skin, And bravely at the mirror grin; I descend the stairs with but one aim; A hope this day will bring me fame. Who knows, indeed, but what I might Have possibly altered over night? I enter school all full of glee, But they soon take it out of me; I start to type and hope and pray I ' ll have some better luck today But — alas, there ' s been no change, Scores of errors are my range. And so the school day passes through The same as usual, nothing new; No homework done, no, nothing ' s right. At least I tried with all my might; And now the whole day has gone by, And as I enter bed, I sigh, Oh, I have failed, but do not sorrow; I ' ll be a better girl tomorrow. Patricia Ballard, ' 46. [86] GHOST SHIP June 9, 1934. I have been in Havana six days and nothing important has happened ex- cept for one incident. This morning I was walking down a narrow, unpaved street near the waterfront, when a dingy gray shop attracted my attention. It seemed to be such a curious place that I stepped in to look about. The man who came forward to meet me was a Cuban, small in build, with close, sharp eyes and copper and yellow skin. He was, however, very neatly attired. This, and the fact that the shop was immaculate and well fur- nished, in comparison to its murky exterior, surprised me considerably. After greeting me in quick, clipped English, which had a faint tinge of Chinese accent, he asked if he might help me. I replied that I had been in- trigued by the shop and was only looking around. The Cuban hovered near, desirous to please. I bought several articles and then turned my attention to a shelf of books. Most of them were written in Spanish. One, a rather large book, once brown but now discolored with yellow water-streaks and with illegible writing, held my attention. As I lingered over the book, the proprietor expressed his opin- ion. The book, he said, is of no value. It was found years ago by my son on a fishing trip. One could not read it, except for several passages which did not make sense. I carried the book to the window, and held it up to the light in an effort to read the first page. In the beginning I could make out nothing, but finally several letters became legible and I read as follows: Cap- in ' s Dia- (. S. -. Cyclops This meant nothing as far as I could see; yet I felt inclined to examine the rest of the book. There was an account of a storm, and terms such as eight bells, which told me it had something to do with the sea. Sea and a book. A captain ' s diary of course! And Cyclops, that would be the name of the ship. The other three letters might mean U. S. S. Yes, that would be it; U. S. S. Cyclops. This brought a dim recollection of ships to my mind. I hurriedly gave the astonished native a small sum, and quickly returned to my hotel. Once there, I took out my file on the World War (filing is my irre- pressible hobby) and turned to naval matters. Under Cyclops was the fol- lowing clipping, cut from a New York paper: New York, June 19, 1918: U. S. S. Cyclops while returning from South America is feared to have been sunk by submarines. No messages have been received from the Cyclops since she left South America. She was due in New York on May 25. I put the file away and sat thinking. Even today there wasn ' t a soul who knew the fate of the Cyclops. I have just finished reading what is legible in the diary. It tells of leav- ing South America and of the first part of the trip, but what interests me most are the last few sentences in the book, which I shall set down here for the sake of posterity. [87] It is a calm sea, and I have hopes for a successful trip. There have been reports of submarines lurking near, but I pray God none find us. I hear voices from above calling me. Probably the young sailors; they seem not to realize it is wartime. I shall account this day ' s trip later in the evening. The last account written in the diary! The Captain had ascended to in- vestigate the sounds and had never returned to finish it. Tomorrow I sail on the Tanga for New York, where I shall turn this book over to the government. June 10, 1934 I am aboard the Tanga. This evening, my porthole was open and as the ship lurched heavily to one side, some articles lying loose on my table were flung through it into the sea. Among them was the diary. Now and forever has the sea claimed the last remnant of the Cyclops. Now for all time the fate of the Cyclops remains unknown. I shall say nothing of this experience to anyone. I would not be be- lieved, and so the incident as far as I am concerned, is closed. Claire Ives, ' 44. When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you ' re traveling climbs up hill, When your funds are low and your debts are high, When you want to sing, but instead you sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit — Rest, if you must — but please don ' t quit! Dorothy Koschei, ' 47. [88 1 STAR OF GLORY Forty years ago, thought Martha, mentally counting back the years. It was a long time but the memory was as clear as if it had been yesterday. The squeaking of the rocking chair fitted into her reminiscent mood. She glanced at the open book in her lap and lightly caressed it with her workworn hands. What memories it brought back. She flipped the pages just as she had done that day when her Sunday School teacher had awarded it to her for perfect at- tendance. She could still hear the whispered warning that handling it that way would break the binding. The binding did break two years later but in a very different way. She was walking back from church with her chums and in fooling with them, Tom had grabbed it and had dropped it, breaking the cover. A deep smile creased her face. It had got her a husband. She opened the back cover and took out an envelope, yellow with age, and shook out its contents. The gold letters, tarnished by years of idleness, cascaded through her fingers. Shortly after the book ' s accident she had made a new cover but when it came to finishing the job she couldn ' t. She didn ' t feel worthy of it, somehow. No, she must wait until a time when she felt that she was able to do it. For forty years the cover had remained bare. Suddenly she stopped rocking. Today she would finish it, not for her- self, of course, but for David. The name still brought a pain to her heart. Yes, for her son, who died so bravely for his country; her own little boy who wouldn ' t be coming back. He was worthy of this task. She took the paste from the desk in the sewing room and set to work arranging the letters in a straight line. It was almost a month now since the telegram from the Navy Department had come. We regret to inform you . . . , she knew every line by heart. How proud she had been when he enlisted. She pressed the let- ters firmly to make them stick; there, that was done. She held it up to admire it. With a sigh of satisfaction she began to rock once more, humming her favorite hymn to comfort the tears that stung her eyelids. Oh God, she prayed silently, I know he ' s safe now. Please watch over the rest of them. She always added that last phrase. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her little granddaughter ' s voice greeting her Grandfather. Was it really that late? Thank goodness Ruth, her married daughter, left the children with her while she went to work. They were such little imps she did not have time to think of other things. [89] Where ' s Grandma! ' ' She heard Tom ' s familiar voice and the childish answer. Now, Cricket, you be a good girl and start setting the table for sup- per. Cricket, that was the name that David gave to her because she talked so much. She must not let those little things bother her. Her husband came into the room and kissed her lightly on the forehead. Glancing down he saw her handiwork. You ' ve finally done it. You know, Martha, I never understood why you waited so long. That could have been done years ago when I wrecked it, he laughed as he recalled it. No, I never did anything that could compare with what our boy did so I pasted them on for him. Now what are you up to? Tom had taken her darning scissors and a scrap of the gilt candy box paper from which she had cut the letters so long ago and had cut out a crude star. I ' m going to paste this on for you, dear. This is something you ' re worthy of, for sure. And he stuck it on under the words. The two smiled at each other as they went arm in arm down to the kitchen. It may have been the late afternoon sun sinking into twilight that caused it — maybe not but the star suddenly brightened and illumined the Holy Bible. Laurel Prestat, ' 45. LIFE ' S CONQUESTS I have it, I ' ve found it, success you are mine, Oh, happiness, happiness, my joy is sublime! Oh, what a lucky fellow I turned out to be! Now I ' m holding onto it for everyone to see. Men fight for it, cry for it, to no avail, My task of securing it makes quite a tale; I suffered many heartaches in my quest for this sweet prize, And now to know I have it — I just can ' t realize. I ' ll gaze at it, pamper it, do it no harm, And when I must leave it, I ' ll try to be calm. This is such a joyful moment that my heart is all afire, For it isn ' t every person who owns a brand new tire. Herbert Upton, ' 44. [90] CLASS ODE Saugus High School, Alma Mater, Guiding star ' mid shades of night, Beacon for thy sons and daughters, We have known thy friendly light; Often clouds thy rays have curtained, Darkened clouds came drifting by — Yet, beyond our shrouded vision There was splendor in the sky. Radiant sign of truth and knowledge, As from sheltered path we turn, Shine through mist that round us gathers; In our hearts thy precepts burn; Shine through rising smoke of battle, Smoke that dims thy golden sheen .... May thy flame ne ' er be exinguished Till the dawn shall break, serene.
