. Wx 2 5, dj pt SENIOR EDITION voL. 1 - Q. Q WAYLAND. My .l9.4.6. OUR HEADMASTERS During the course of this school year 1945-1946, several faculty changes have taken place in the Wayland High School. Numbered among those who left, was Mr. Herbert A. Clark, our former headmaster, now a faculty member at the Harvard School of Education. Mr. Clark spent most of his youth in and around Wash- ington, D.C.pudor to his coming to New England to attend Brown University, from which he re- ceived his Batchelor's and Mas- ter's Degrees. Most of us are well ac- quainted with the fact that prior to Mr. Clark's accepting the headmastership at Wayland, he taught history and mathema- tics in the Newton High School. Somehow he always kept reminding us of what they did in Newton. Besides teaching school in various towns and cities, Mr. Clark might be termed, Wa jack Qf all trades,n in that he has done all kinds of work, from cleaning furnaces and painting signs to making a survey of banks for the United States Government. But a short time ago, Way- land was called upon to relieve Mr. Clark of his services, in order that he might instruct future school teachers. We were all very sorry to lose him for his diligent work among uskmlp- ed make Wayland High School a better place in which to do our work and have our play. The Newton School System came to our aid again in sup- plying us with our present head- master, Mr. Radcliffe Morrill, who was born in Wakefield and attended the Wakefield schools. He received his A.B. Degree from St. Stephens College, N.Y., has a Master of Education Degree from Harvard, and has done fur- ther study at the University of Chicago. Mr. Morrill was the head of the Mathematics Department of the junior high schools in Newton before coming to Wayland The Public Relations Committee had Mr. Morrill as chairman, while he was president of the Newton Teachers' Federation. At present Mr. Morrill is living in Newton with his wife and two daughters, Ann and Patricia, but he expects to be- come a resident of Wayland in the fall. He likes the town of Wayland very much, and enjoys working here as it gives more opportunities for knowing every pupil and giving extra help. We are more than grateful to Mr. Morrill for his endeav- ors to realize our present needs, and each of us promises to give him his full coopera- tion, so that the ideals which Mr. Clark had in mind may con- tinue to flourish for the bet- terment of Wayland High School. And to Mr. Clark, we say in passing, nIt was a pleasure to have known you. May you be successful in all you do.'

For on a very joyful shore many people had gathered awaiting the arrival of the U.S.S. North Carolina which was bringing our Bill home to us. Bill was my oldest brother and I had not seen him for three lonesome.years. Among the many happy mothers and fathers I stood, bewildered, but happy. Soon the ship landed, and a plank was set up from thg wharf to the ship. Cheers, cheers, and more cheers were given to the boys who had done so much for us. One by one I eyed over the soldiers as they reached our vision. There in the midst of a group of G.I's stood Bill, at last Bill was home! NHi, Jimmy,n he shouted, and came running up to meg then seeing mother and fatner, he ran to them. You can't imagine the delight mother showed when Bill was in her arms. uBoy,n wasn't it great to have him home again! After about five minutes of embracing mother and father, he turned to me, and said, 'Hey small fry, pick up my duffle bagg we're going home.' When we reached home, Bill enjoyed a hearty meal and then started for a clothing store. That's Bill you hear inquirfng for a suit or shirts. He, like all other G.I.'s, agrees that clothing is his greatest prob- lem of reconversion. James Curley Class of '49 -ZS 51- 'X-X-If-ZEAT: J 3 i 53 ?-LL-2 K-'TS X-59? CH F'-'1 451+ 2'-Le: P'-'1 Q TRUE LOVE He was handsome, something out of this world. His shape was superb. I shall have to confess I fell madly in love the minute I saw him. I had been introduced to him on Christmas morning. He was done up so lovely with that pretty red ribbon. I took him to my bedroom at once, and he has remained there ever since. He has saved my life more than once. I think that's why I love him so. His hands are small but they always perform their job, even on the coldest mornings of the year or the hottest sum er day. He perspires quite a lot in the summer and sometimes I can hardly see his face. In the winter on dark, cold nights his eyes shine like two luminous lights. I shall never tell anyone about him because they might become jealous and take him away from me. Since I am his legal owner I shall never sell him to anyone or give him away. I have often thought of putting a blanket over him to keep him warm but that did seem rather silly. He wakes at the same time every morning and has for the past five months. Several friends have' re- marked of his faithfulness.to- wards me which I appreciate very much. As you are probably in suspense about my true love, I shall confess it is my alarm clock.

it I THE STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF Dorothy Gelinas BUSINESS MANAGERS Richard Dew Alice Thorne Mary Kicilinski ART EDITOR Daniel Kicilinski REPORTERS Barbara Daly Richard Riley Eleanor Vlass Francis Henuset Gladys Kooyumjian ,Jlh EDITORIAL June, the month of gradua- tion, is here. The fitting of caps and gowns, receiving class rings,and exchanging graduation pictures are only a few bits of the excitement going on. But finally, after years of study, no more classes are to be held and no more courses to be chosen, class meetings are over exams are over, and the bus can pass by without the worry of missing it--that part of youth has gone, never to return. Yet,in another sense, this is only the beginning. Study may be put aside, but the know- ledge attained from the many years of schuoling will be em- bodied in youthful minds for- ever, to be acted upon and enriched with a new meaning, by experiences of maturity. The entire future depends on what, in those years of study, the graduates have achieved. The reward of that diploma will re- main as a symbol of the many A QREAT AMERICAN PASTIME Indulgence, in one form or another, has been experienced by everybody. There are many different ways of performing this pastime. Recently I have observed many typical types Of indulgers which I shall now de- scribe. The first type is often seen in restaurants and soda fountains, so we snall classify them as Juke-box Johnnies. They usually rush in. in 9 reat hurry and quickly order gheir cokes. One thinks they will only stay a minute to quench their thirst. But do they stay for a minute? They do not. You just try to tear them away from their cokes and they'll barb at you to leave them alone. KHere I wish to note that most teen-agers fit into this group., Tnese char- acters nurse their cokes along, fearing the dreadful moment when the glass is empty. To them the symbol of an empty coke glass is for all good fellows to part and wend their weary ways home. In contrast to this type is the more adult drinker. CUsually in this class fit the early morning workers., These characters rush into hamburger stands, diners, etc., and gulp down scalding cups of strong coffee. The way in which they quickly, almost furtively, drink their coffee makes one think they are afraid to be seen 'at this practice so early in the morning. In this same class are the doughnut dunkers, those fabulous characters known to everyone. It seems as though their greatest delight is dip- ping savory doughnuts into steaming coffee. KI wish to note here that more and more people are forming this hab1t.J One is no longer fascinated by watching these dunkers at work, since they themselves may prac- tice the art of doughnut dunk- ing, too. Of course I have only mentioned two types in the group of indulgers found every- where in the world. All in all. one may find a very erijoyable pastime in being one of the many types of indulgers.
