In March the Senior members of the National Honor Society conducted the in- duction ceremcny which takes place each year. In this month also the Glee Club presented Johnson and Korgan's lovely operetta, HThe Belle of Bagdad.N Mrs. Radford directed the Clee Club and other faculty members gave unlimited time in aiding the production. Senior members taking part were Mary Cahill, Esther Nisbet, Russell Bigelow, Herbert Smith, John Perrin and Priscilla Buckingham. The annual Sports' Banquet was held at Mansion lnn in the spring to honor those who participated in sports during the year. Bert Edwards' Orchestra furnished the music for dancing. All too quickly June has rushed up to tell us it is time to leave, but for us graduation will truly be a commencement. We all see a long road of life stretching before us. As some of us have not yet completed our education, we will go on to higher schools of learning. Not one of us leaves Wayland High School without feeling a strong surge of gratitude and affection for Miss Merrithew who has worked with us and spent many hours helping us compile the nReflector,n a living collection of memories which record what have thus far been Hthe best years of our lives.N Priscilla Buckingham Barbara Daly ICNQ Fifth Row: George Muhlberg, William O'Connell, Walter Smith, Richard Bowers, George Celorier, George Butler, George Cobb, Richard Marcantonio, Waldo Lawrence.

Our next task was choosing a class ring. We had so many lovely samples from which to make our choice that a final decision was difficult. But finally we made up our minds and settled this important matter. When the order for our rings had gone in, we began preparing for the most thrilling event of the year, the Junior Prom. The Gymnasium was a paradise of palm trees and pea- cocks. We danced in an exotic atmosphere to the music of Bert Edwards' Orches- tra. It was truly a night to remembert Along with June came the graduation of the Class of 1948. Richard Bowers and Esther Nisbet served as marshals, and the Glee Club added to the ceremony with three appropriate selections. When we returned in September to take our place on the top rung of the ladder, we found that Mr. Clement had succeeded Mr. Morrill as Headmaster. That first day Mr. Clement called an assembly so that we could get acquainted, and you know--we're mighty proud of that friendship. It is one we'll cherish for many a year. Two weeks later we were election conscious and selected our class officers. James Curley became President: Paul Sweeney, Vice President, Esther Nisbet, Secretaryg and Marie Weeks, Treasurer. For cheerleaders we chose Shirley Buckingham and Mary Cahill. Shirley became captain of the peppy squad. Yearbook committees were formed and a chairman elected for each. Mary Cahill and Priscilla Buckingham were chosen to be co-editors with Esther Nisbet as business manager. Then came the time to prepare for the Football Dance. This turned out to be a very successful affair despite the fact the Weston-Wayland game had been post- poned because of bad weather. We danced to the popular tunes played by the nCollegiates,H and refreshments were served at the tables bordering the dance floor. ' During Education Week the members of the National Honor Society put on an assembly program in which they discussed the various phases of educational development in the United States and throughout the world. We also sponsored a program dealing with the national election. Following Christmas vacation, Room 9 was in a constant flurry of activity. Under the supervision of Miss O'Neil six members from our class prepared essays for the Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Charles Alward Post of the American Legion. Our orators were Priscilla Buckingham, Gregory Petronio, Grace Mailhiot, George Muhlberg, Malcolm Parrish and Betty Amos. On February 2 these contest- ants, who had been trained in speaking by Miss Simpson, vied with each other to gain top honors. Malcolm Parrish was declared the winner. At this time two important decisions were made. The school voted to adopt a seal and to call the Yearbook, henceforth, the nRef1ector.' As we worked diligently to get our copy off to press, we congratulated ourselves that our treasured nReflectorN would be the first school publication to be graced with the new school seal.

All 5 3450 Wifi? We, the Class of l949, being, as we believe, sound of mind and stout of heart, do make this our last will and testament in the presence of all those who care to accompany us through this tortuous process. Article I. To Joe Tierney and the members of his quar- tet, Paul Sweeney, Joe's other half, leaves this, his favorite atomizer, to keep Joe's delicate baritone voice in perfect pitch. Article II. Bud Lepine and Jack Carroll leave to Bob Brogan this first-aid kit containing bandages, band-aid, iodine, scissors, splints, and a booklet on nEmergency Treatment.n When the football season gets under way, Bob may be in need of them. Article III. To Ronald Bradley we bequeath a mouthpiece, so that he will come out of the next season with as many teeth as he had when he went into it. Article IV. Last year the thoughtful girls of the Class of '48 left to Malcolm Parrish an apron so that he might wait on table at all the hops. Malcolm looked hard and long for someone to step into the dainty strings and finally found a worthy successor in Ted O'Neill. Article V. George Cobb knows that every growing boy needs more than eight hours sleep a day. He has a nice, soft pillow that can be placed on a desk and insure greater comfort for a student who uishes to doze. This prized pillow George bequeaths to Lauren Peters. Pleasant dreams, Lauranl Article VI. George Butler has quite a memory for tel- ephone numbers, but as he added more and more to his list, he found that his mind was overburdened. So he collected all his valuable information in this little black book, which he leaves to Bert Ketchen. Ceorge grants to Bert the right to take out any girl in the Wayland High School, except one. Article VII. We all know Tom Dotey by his distinguished mustache. At the suggestion of his brother Francis, we leave to Tom this wax, so that he may curl the ends upward and create an even more devastating effect. Article VIII. During the past four years Russell Bigelow has proudly paraded around the school with his hair slicked down with the bear grease generously contributed by pre- ceding classes. Russell received such quantities that he has a great deal left over. This bucketful Russ passes on to a Junior who strives to have that sleek, well-groomed appearance--Donald Hobbs. Article IX. Martin Ide bequeaths tc Norman Vlass a hunting license that specifically gives Norman the right to go hunting during the football season. Article X. Four little Freshman girls do their best to drive the faculty and students crazy with their constant giggles. To these young ladies we leave this cotton, so that every time they get the urge to tee-hee, they can shove it into their mouths and so avoid the wrath of their long- suffering public. To Judy Kelsey, Sally McLellan, Audrey Emery, and Carol Davis a long life and a happy one. Article XI. Whoever keeps Santa Claus after school for being late?
