That something” turned out to be the one and only Mr. B., who passed through the portals of Weston High in our very last year. His unequalled and unusual wit, his original and unadulterated puns, have, at some time or other, offered entertainment for each and every one of us. Playing golf, swimming, censored (?), and listening to any music but Frankie, are the things he enjoys the most. He has, however, one decided pet peeve. That is girls who think they are too good looking. ' Could he have Weston girls in mind, perchance? Before help¬ ing out Uncle Sam, he has hopes of pursuing the unending road of education further in the halls of Yale or Dartmouth. Here’s toward success in whatever you do, John! Activities: Basketball, Discussion Club. JOAN BROUILLETTE Ye have many strings to your how.” Our girl with the suppressed desire to be married at eighteen, Jo,” or Red” (when you call her that, duck) was born December 17, 1927, and also is one of those who started off with our class at the very beginning. Her artistic temperament is likely to carry her all the way through art school and on into portrait painting, thus satisfying her artistic ambition. Besides painting, she enjoys eating at the Greasy Spoon” after C. A. P., and along with homework she definitely dislikes conceited people. Blessed with naturally curly hair and strong individualism, Joan should go far and do well in the future. Activities: Hockey 3 years; Student Council, ’45; Glee Club 4 years; Bas¬ ketball 4 years; Assembly Committee, ’45; Discussion Club; Cheer¬ leader; C. A. P. PHYLLIS LEE BROWN The itch of discourse, the windy satisfaction of the tongue.” Wayland’s contribution to We ston’s class of ’45 comes in the person of brown-haired, bright-eyed Phee Brown, born October 14, 1927, in Newton. She came to us in September, 1940, and with her, her love for riding wild horses. She also tells us how much she enjoys a good book and a box of candy, one of the many things known as luxury. Her peeves include tight sweaters, tagging people, and cigars. Now that last one we have yet to see on Phee! She kinda hopes to be a costume designer in future years, heading for William and Mary College or the Museum of Fine Arts after graduation; worthwhile choices both of them. Activities: Basketball, ’45; Hockey, ’45; Discussion Club; Priorities,” ’43; Glee Club, ’44, ’45. SALLY CAFFREY From our own selves our joys must flow.” Sal,” the gal whose favorite enjoyment is just living,” came to us in the seventh grade from Connecticut, but just couldn’t seem to decide to settle with us right then, for she left, only to return in our sophomore year, much to our joy. Born February 29, 1928, Sally can’t stand asparagus and people who call her early in the morning. Don’t blame you, Sal—but this is your senior year, so grin and bear it. This ambitious lass insists she will live all over the world,” as she puts it. Maybe we’re just dumb, but we’d like to know just how she’ll manage that. However, when she settles down, she’s going to live in Texas, and ride the range. Be careful, though, Sal—there’s bars in them thar hills. Best of luck, Sally, from the class. Activities: Glee Club 2 years; Basketball 2 years; Hockey 2 years; Discussion Club. DAVID CAMPBELL But still his tongue ran on, the less of weight it bore, with greater ease.” David, born May 1, 1928, (wonder if Mr. Cummings felt a premonition?) has been with us through all the twelve toilsome years of Weston schooling. His favorite enjoyments are dancing, football, baseball, and bowling and what about math? He plans to go to Middlebury for three years, then to M. I. T. for two more, the draft permitting. His pet peeves are English and women. (At least that’s what he says.) What about History class, Dave? David carries around more aliases than any other person in the high school. Suivez,” Dew Drop,” Snow Flake and Cloudburst” are just a few, but he’s an awfully good sport about the kidding he gets from them. On week-ends and after school, if not found on the athletic field, take a look at Miriam’s house. With his great perseverance to back him up, nothing can stop David. 6 LORRAINE COMEAU Oh, honestly . . . !” This little girl who has a passion for Williamsburg, Massachusetts, was born right here in Weston on February 11, 1927, and joined our merry group in 1939. She likes to dance, swim, travel, and meet people, not to mention nice gooey sundaes that she can eat every bit of all by herself. But she doesn’t like conceited people, people who are late, and those who don’t write when they say they will—pet of all peeves being homework. (Now, that’s original.) There’s a hospital, the Cooley Dickinson, right up in the Williamsburg vicinity, and Lorraine hopes to train there for a nursing career after graduation. She has a multitude of suppressed desires, chief of which are to own a maroon con¬ vertible and live either in California or Williamsburg. Here’s hoping they all come through. Activities: Glee Club 4 years; Hockey 1 year; Basketball 1 year; Cheerleader; Discussion Club. ALICE DOLAN Is she not passing fair? Ever since grade one when we organized our class, Alice, better known as Pussy,” has travelled the long weary twelve years of education with us. Voted best combination of brains and good looks” and also best looking,” she leaves 90’s and 100’s scattered in her wake as she travels good naturedly through the toughest of subjects. When she’s not taking dictation at one hundred twenty words per, you’ll find her either listening to the Ink Spots or drinking frappes at Eaton’s. Alice is noted for her blushing, and incidentally, that is her pet peeve. English class seems to catch her in her blushing moods. (Just ask her how it feels to be exceptional”!) She dislikes conceited people and older sisters. Bryant and Stratton has her vote for the future, and then maybe, just maybe, she’d like to dabble in aviation. Best of luck, Alice, wherever you go; we know you’ll be just as popular as you have been with us. Activities: Glee Club 3 years; Patience”; Football Dance Committee; Junior Prom, Decoration Committee. ALFRED EDMUNDS Have you summoned your wits from wool-gathering?” Quiz Kid,” or mostly just Quiz,” was born in Newton on August 23rd, 1926, and came to Weston in the seventh grade. A constant source of amaze¬ ment to his teachers in Weston High, he readily confesses, as anyone can plainly see, that his pet peeve is school itself. He likes boating, skiing, dancing (’special¬ ly at the Totem Pole), football, and above all flying, which he hopes to make his career. He entered the Army Air Force, and will not be with us at graduation, as Uncle Sammy has already called him. Quiz” can be seen almost everywhere in his own green coupe, and more than usual at C. A. P. centers, where he’s get¬ ting an early start on his flying career. But flying or otherwise, we know Quiz” will make the grade. Activities: Football; C. A. P. JUNE FISKE Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Frisky,” the piano-playing secretary of the class of ’45, was born in Wal¬ tham, June 28, 1928. She is one of the old standbys of the class, having been with it since first grade and always doing her best for it. She doesn’t like con¬ ceited people—we’re with you there, June—and hates to be chased up and down stairs. But her likes are many, including eating, driving, playing the piano, and dancing, all of which she does par excellence. After graduation we hear she plans to attend a business school in Boston, then transfer to New York. This would fulfill her suppressed desire to live in New York City. Like a fairy tale, may she marry her boss and live happily ever after. But, June, will Red” be the big executive for whom you’ll do your typing? Activities: Class Secretary 3 years; Hockey 2 years; Basketball 1 year; Year Book Staff; Bowling; Discussion Club Secretary; Cheerleader; Glee Club and Operettas 3 years. KATHERINE A. GALLAGHER Variety’s the very spice of life.” Katherine, the girl that likes to eat and dance, is one that has stuck to the class right from the beginning. She was born in the big city of Waltham in January, 1928. Her ambition is to teach a while and then marry. To have long hair is her suppressed desire, but boys don’t pull it because Kitty’s” pet peeve is fresh boys! Katie” is attending Middlebury next year. Could it be because one of her favorite enjoyments is wolfing? All kidding aside, we know she’ll do as well in her studies there as she has at Weston. Activities: Glee Club 4 years; Hockey 3 years; Prom Committee; Red Cross 2 years. 7 GWENDOLYN STEARNS GALE Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.” When we came back from our summer vacation in September, 1944, we met Gwen,” who had joined our class for the final year. She was born in Oakland, California, June 14, 1927, but for some unknown reason she likes anything per¬ taining to snow. However, when there is no snow around, Gwendolyn can amuse herself by sailing on a fine summer’s day, or by riding horseback. Like many people, she can’t stand squeaky chalk or sarcasm (which she gets plenty of, on her French pronunciation, poor child!). Her ambition is to be an ornitho¬ logical photographer, whatever that is, after she attends either Connecticut or Mount Holyoke College. That’s quite a career, so, good luck, Gwen. Activities: Basketball 1 year; Discussion Club. MARSHALL HILLS The will for the deed is his. On May 7, 1927, in Jamaica Plain, Marshall first saw the light of day, but it wasn’t until ten years later that he joined out class in the fifth grade. He has a number of ambitions; namely, to write songs, be a chemist, or an aviator. He’ll do well at any of these, as Marsh” can play the piano exceptionally well, and fooling in the chemistry laboratory is one of his favorite enjoyments. Right here, we ll jot down a few others in this line: dates, C. A. P., and piano Boogie- Woogie. And we all know how he loves to keep his dates big dark secrets! His future plans, due to the war, are to enlist in the Naval Air Corps. We all wish our class president the best of luck in whatever he may finally decide to do. Activities: President, ’44, ’45; Football, ’45; Basketball, ’45; Baseball, ’45; Student Council, ’44, ' 45; Assembly Committee. SEATON JACKSON England expects every man to do his duty.” Seaton, alias Limey,” born in Cambridge, October 21, 1927, is another who started out with us in the first grade and has been active in school doings ever since. His many favorite enjoyments include all kinds of sports, women (he’s had seventeen years of chasing ’em), dancing at the Tote and above all, jazz, jazz, and more jazz! Quite in line with the last bit, he is peeved beyond words at the playing of classical music and the sight of teachers and cops.” He hopes to go to college, afterwards making his place in the world coaching bas¬ ketball, but all this must wait until he leaves the service (Marines, maybe) which he will probably enter before June. With that good old English humor backing him up, we all know he can’t lose. Activities: Football 2 years; Basketball 4 years, Captain, ’45; Glee Club 4 years; Operetta 3 years; Class Treasurer, ’44; Year Book Staff; Base¬ ball 1 year. PAULINE JACQUES l hate nobody; l am in charity with the world.” Pauline, our seen but not heard” girl has been with us ever since ’33 when we arrived in a body to shock Miss Adams. Since then, Mona” has been doing her homework faithfully in advance, and has helped cheerfully with any and everything the class has ever planned. Pauline loves to draw, and plans to be¬ come a successful designer,” as she puts it. We can’t see how she can lose. This gal likes immensely to ice skate, play basketball, or go to the movies. Mathematics leaves her absolutely cold, and string beans just do not enter her life at any stage. Strictly off the record, Pauline’s suppressed desire is to walk calmly out of Miss Harding’s class some day when she assigns public speaking. Now that we want to see! Activities: Art 3 years; Glee Club; Sophomore Dance Committee; Patience”; Pinafore.” HENRY JOHNSON Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” In Plymouth, New Hampshire, January 8, 1928, one wonderful fellow was born who somehow or other managed to land in the primary school building at Weston in 1933 as a pupil in the first grade. Henry’s future plans, perhaps an outgrowth of his experience with Pop, are to study chemistry at M. I. T., and then be a chemical engineer. He likes to dance and skate, listen to Holiday for Strings’ and Crooner Crosby; but then, who doesn’t? Writing letters and women’s hats are among his pet peeves, and worst of all, says Henry, is too much talk! The class all like Henry and know this year book will be one of the best published, because of his untiring efforts toward it. That’s the way he does everything, including the excellent talk over WBZ in December. Activities: Glee Club 4 years; Vice-President of the Senior Class; Assembly Committee, Co-Editor of ear Book; Student Council; Representative to Junior Town Meeting of the Air; Discussion Club. 8 KENNETH EVERETT KING The surest way to hit a woman’s heart is to take aim kneeling.’’ Now a bluejacket in Uncle Sam’s Navy, Kenny was born, to his pals ' great joy, in Newton, July 3, 1926, but had made Weston his schooling center since the wee grades. A whiz on the court here and in the Navy, basketball is his favorite sport; but eating, sleeping, golt, and swimming rate as close seconds. His pet peeve is getting up early in the morning, especially at 5:30 (which, may we add, he’s getting plenty of now ). Easily recognized by his boogie- woogie on the gym piano or his own saxophone, Kenny has plans tor either coaching or engineering when the war has reached its end. Beware, Coach Law, the lure ot our old Alma Mater may prove too strong. Welcome home, Kenny. Activities: Basketball, Captain, ’44; Orchestra 3 years; Glee Club 1 year. JOHN MELE He was not of an age, hut for all time.” If anybody can’t find Johnny,” look for a blue car streaking through Weston at (?) miles per, and, if your eyes can follow it, you will find Johnny in the front seat next to Dick. Johnny joined us in the hrst grade and has been with us ever since. He is the most popular boy in school and our class comedian. His pet peeves are teachers, who he claims don’t understand him, proud girls, intellectuals, and cops.” Johnny intends to join the Navy as soon as he can get his diploma. We all agree that he proved to be a great leader when he so ably captained this year’s football team. He is a great jazz fan and it ' s no secret that he, himself, is the rhythm boy of Weston High. We all wish you the best of luck, Johnny, and we ' ll never forget you and your Personality Plus.” Activities: Football 3 years, (Captain, senior year); Basketball 1 year. GERALDINE ETHELLYN MORGAN Begone, Dull Care! Thou and l shall never agree.” November 27, 1927, was a day to be remembered in South Portland, Maine—a day of all days, for at that time a little blonde, who was later to answer to the name of Gerrie,” pirouetted into being. This dancing girl has been with us ever since our second year and her present plans are to study ballet at the Vilzah Shollar School of Ballet in New York. Her ambition is to join a company and tour the country; either that or settle down and raise horses in Vermont. Her favorite enjoyments are basking in the sun, waltzing with Mr. Cummings, peppermint stick ice-cream, and walking in the rain. Mr. Sawyer’s chemistry tests, squash, and Northeastern University seem to irk her. Since none of the latter can in any way hinder her in her career of dancing, no doubt we ll all some day say, L Knew her when—!” Activities: Glee Club 2 years; Discussion Club; Basketball. NAOMI NEWELL Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.” Nimi,” who entered the world April 19, 1927, upon joining us in our freshman year soon proved to be an interesting addition to our class. She has shown during her four years’ acquaintance with us, a very definite ability to ex¬ press her ideas. She surprised us with a hope for five children, to come after college and a job, of course. She likes eating, drawing, music, and hiking, and dislikes fingernails that break, selfish people and wartime food. C’est la guerre,” eh, Naomi? Her suppressed desire runs into money since she would like a new wardrobe for every day in the year. We know Smith College will have a find in Naomi, if that’s where she finally settles. Activities Glee Club 4 years; Priorities; Operetta 3 years; Hockey 2 years; Discussion Club. PHILIP W. NOYES Men of few words are the best men.” Phil, who joined us in 1943, is quiet around school, but quite the opposite outside, we hear. He likes various sports, roller skating, and dancing. He hopes to become a Certified Public Accountant after his career in the Navy. Phil has been inducted, as of a few weeks ago, so he won’t be here for graduation. His pet peeves are teachers and cops,” but don’t get the wrong idea, he has a great respect for the law. He was born in Colebrook, New Hampshire. Happy were the days in the good old Granite State. May there be more of them, Phil. Dub” came to us from Colebrook Academy, where he found basketball and baseball his favorite athletic activities. We all wish Phil the best of luck in his future plans and hope that he may fulfill them all. We know he can do it, too, with his quiet persistence and winning ways. 9 PRISCILLA OTTO Ask me no questions and. I’ll tell you no fibs.’’ Well known as Chopper” and, too, commonly known as Potts,”’ this most unpredictable lass was a charter member of our class in 1933 and has been one of our favorites from then on. Brought into this world in February, 1928, to be our class comedienne, she is scarcely ever at a loss for a quip to fit every occasion. Bob Hope, the ever-popular White Christmas,” sleeping and Swan- boat rides with C. K. C., seem to constitute her favorite enjoyments. Though snobbish people are her pet peeves, her ambition, strangely enough, is to be a millionairess some day. Best wishes toward achieving that pinnacle, Chop”! Activities: Hockey 4 years; Glee Club 3 years; Class Treasurer — Freshman; Discussion Club. JACK PATTERSON I am very fond of the company of ladies. Since his favorite enjoyment is girls, pet peeve is girls who say no,” and suppressed desire is to lead a night-life, Jack was labeled a ladies’ man” from ’way back. Born January 23, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, he joined our happy throng for the first two laborious years, left for Wayland for a half dozen more, only to return in his freshman year to stay by our ol’ Alma Mater to the bitter end. A member of the C. A. P., his ambition is to make good in the Army Air Corps; but previous to this worthy career, he has a year of Northeastern in mind. Jack ' s happy-go-lucky philosophy brightened up many a dreary class and made him an unforgettable character among the Westonites. Activities: Football 2 years; Baseball 3 years; Discussion Club. NANCY ELEANOR PEAKES ”The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” Nance, who has been with our little group ever since 1933, the beginning of those memorable dozen years, honored Cambridge with her appearance on March 6, 1928. This little red-head has always been a most admirable student, with her flawless bits of literature and such. Movies, good books, cooking, baseball, and fried scallops are among her enjoyments. (You might ask her about the state of Maine, too!) but being called Red” by total strangers is com¬ pletely beyond her endurance. Her ambition, and a truly suitable one it is, is to be a roving reporter, or something similar in the journalistic field. As she is obviously typical college material, we have no fear but that Nancy will do ex¬ ceptionally well at Wellesley College which she hopes to enter in the fall. Activities: Glee Club; Discussion Club; Student Council Secretary; Assembly Committee Secretary; First Aid Football Dance Committee. GEORGIA LEE RAGAN Her voice was that which charms the soul. Georgia, the golden voiced member of the Senior Class, was born in Janu¬ ary, 1927, in Chestnut Hill, Brookline. She came to Weston in 1939, but didn’t join our class until this year. (And a very nice addition, too, we may add.) Didi plans to further her talents by becoming a professional singer. After her career” on the stage in Weston, we don’t doubt a bit that we’ll all see her at the Metropolitan some day. Her suppressed desire? To live in England; just a limey at heart” as she puts it. She loves English accents, harbors a weakness for blonds; and did we tell you? She likes music, too; imagine that. The Senior Class presents its very best wishes and hopes for your future career as a singer. All the best, Georgia. Activities: Glee Club 4 years; Operetta 4 years. KAY RITZ In faith, lady, you have a merry heart. One world-shaking day in September, 1941, the eighth grade was shocked into speec hlessness when a blue-eyed, pig-tailed girl from Delaware joined our class. Though minus the long hair, Kay is still the same tiny miss with a per¬ sonality that has captivated everyone. (Teach us, Kay.) A New Englander at heart, born in Lynn the fall of 1927, she loves rare steak and chocolate ice¬ cream. (Lucky steak and ice-cream.) She becomes very cool to those who insist on formally calling her Kathryn,” the anguish in chemistry class being well nigh unbearable. Stardust” is her special tune, and her suppressed desire is to be a radio artist, though we hear it will remain suppressed until she be¬ comes a successful kindergarten teacher. (What’s your secret, kids?) Good luck, Kay—you’ll go far in whatever you do. Activities: Glee Club; Patience”; The Gondoliers”; Class Officer, ’42, ’43; Sophomore Dance Committee; Year Book Staff. 10 CAROLYN ADELE ROBINSON To beguile many, and be beguiled by one.” Candy” first saw the light of day on September 24, 1927, in Gloucester, but joined our happy class in 1940. She likes to dance, play basketball, swim, read, and ride her bicycle, which she does often with her mother, with her cocker spaniel Honey” in the basket. Her ambition and suppressed desire tend quite a bit towards traveling, particularly in South America. She tells us that she also would like to model. If you want to peeve Candy,” just present her with a mixture of homework, eggs, and bugs. (Quite a mixture, it seems to us.) In fact, just one of them will do! It is generally noted that she gets quite a bang out of nature’s little feathered creations, too, mostly the Chickadee.” Right, Candy? Activities: Priorities”; Glee Club; Patience.” JEANNE ROGERS Footloose and fancy free. A shriek that so unded much like Don’t call me Sweater Girl!” emanating from the Waltham Hospital, heralded the momentous arrival of our Jeanne, alias Rog,” into this world in June, 1927. After spending fifteen years in Newton, she couldn’t resist the lure of Ye Olde Weston High, and we welcomed her with open arms in ’42. She has lots of favorite enjoyments, has this lass with the ready smile. Some of them are swimming, bowling, and movies. We all know that Rog” harbors a passionate hatred of any kind of bugs, especially caterpillars. Jeanne aspires to a career as an airdine hostess; that is, after fin¬ ishing school, and say, did we tell you? She plans to take a small jaunt around the world. When we asked about her suppressed desire, she told us to live in California.” That shouldn’t be too hard for an old hand at globe-trotting. Best wishes from the class, Jeannie. Activities: Glee Club 2 years. ELIZABETH M. TEBEAU The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed.” Betty, the future Florence Nightingale of our merry class, joined us in 1939—the class of ’45 has never been quite the same since. Our happy-go- lucky dreamer, yet wide-awake athlete and incessant talker, Bet” is a bewilder¬ ing mixture of talent and vagueness—(ask Miss Green about that algebra!) Her favorite enjoyments are many and varied, among which are sports, eating sand¬ wiches with everything but the kitchen sink in them, writing notes that prove very interesting, and talking on the phone from 9 to 10 night after night. (Need we ask to whom?) Bossy people, apples with worms, and back-slappers irritate her no end, and are, consequently, her pet peeves. Her ambition, for which she is very well suited, is to be a full-fledged Navy Nurse—we all know she’ll go far in this field. Activities: Hockey 2 years; Basketball 2 years; Football Dance Committee. CHRISTINE TEBO Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. Born on Columbus Day, 1927, Chris” joined us in Miss Adams’ class in ’33 and has stayed with us ever since. A smooth dancer and the class actress, she has impressed us with her varied abilities. Her idea of an enjoyable eve¬ ning includes eating a steak dinner, dancing, and then listening to Frankie You know who,” while writing to the Navy. Chris’ ” pet peeves are people who dis¬ like crooners, men drivers, and carrots. After seeing her fine work in our operettas we are sure that some day, her suppressed desire—to sing at the Stork Club—may come true. Her ambition is to own a bright red convertible-— watch out, men drivers!—and to get an A” from Pop.” Best of luck, Chris,” when you enter Katharine Gibbs’ Secretarial School. Activities: Glee Club 4 years; Priorities”; Operetta 3 years; Cheerleading; Hockey 4 years; Junior Prom Committee; Co-Editor of the Year Book; Operetta Committee, ’44. JEAN WALLACE TIFFANY A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.” Our own Jeannie with the light brown hair” joined the class in the sixth grade and was tagged with numerous and sundry nicknames ranging from Jeanie,” Tiff,” and Tiffy,” to Fanny.” She was born at Ann Arbor, Michi¬ gan, on Columbus Day, 1927. Her favorite enjoyments include horses, skiing, ballet, Tommy Dorsey records, particularly The Song is You,” and HORSES! (which, we put in right here, goes beyond an enjoyment and becomes almost an obsession). She is averse to the study of L’Allegro” and ”11 Penseroso,” (but then, who isn’t?), not to mention Waltham’s speed traps. Who hasn’t heard of Jean’s great rendezvous with the man in the blue coat and brass buttons? She hop es to go to college after graduation, and we wish her the very best of luck. Activities: Basketball 4 years; Glee Club 3 years; Priorities”; Patience”; Discussion Club. 11 THOMAS A. TILTON Be wisely worldly—be not worldly tvise.” Taj,” one of the charter members of the class of ’45, has always been friendly and good natured. Since his pet peeve is people who talk too much, it is necessary to add that he also is very quiet. During the 1944 football season, he proved himself to be the team’s outstanding lineman. Since Taj’s main in- terests outside of football are eating, fishing, and sailing, and his ambition is to build small boats, he’s sure to be a big success in the Navy. Very best of luck, Taj, the class of ’45 knows you can’t help but hit the top. Activities: Football 4 years; Priorities”; Operetta 3 years. KENNETH B. TURNER Hang sorrow! Care ' ll kill a cat. Around 1937, Deacon,” with all his fancies, humorous cartoons and fun, left Newton and joined the class of ’45. We don’t think that he has forgotten Newton — or even Wellesley, Quincy, and, of course, Weston. How are those Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights? His favorite enjoyment is hunting two- legged dears. Well, well! He hates people who eat hard candy over the telephone, but does that matter? Come fall, one can see a decrease of wild life around the Turner establishment. It must be a noisy section! His am¬ bition is to have lots and lots of money and a new car every year. Where’s the old one gone? This year one could see him prancing about on the athletic field to the joy and amusement of all. He plans to be in the service soon. Good luck, Deac.” ELEANOR WALLS She was ever fair and never proud — had tongue at will, but never loud.” While no one was looking last September, Eleanor slipped into our midst and we didn’t even know that Ellie” with the pretty brown eyes was there; she’s that quiet. She hails from Medford, where she was born in 1927. Though she is inconspicuous on most occasions, just listen and learn in English 4-A when Ellie gets up to public speak”! What golden words of wisdom! You’ll please her no end if you take her to the movies, dancing, or give her lemon and limes; but woe betide the poor unfortunate who has a good word for algebra problems! Eleanor’s life was full when she was vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of her class in different years back in her home town. After she finishes college, she will leave future pians to fate. ALDEN WHITTEMORE Your heart ' s desires be with you.” Chick,” or Audie,” whichever you prefer, started with our distinguished (?) class in the first grade, and will finish with us this year. Anyone who knows him realizes that his favorite enjoyments are driving a truck, which he does for Mr. Ogilvie, going to movies, dancing, wrestling, and traveling, since these are the things he can be seen doing most often. He also mentioned his enjoyment of Sunday afternoons. Is that when you try out biscuit recipes and walk the dog, Audie? His suppressed desire for traveling (in two’s) all over the world fits right in with his ambition to retire at thirty-five with a wife and three children. It is also apparent that he dislikes homework and reading Shakespeare. Chick” is the cheerful member of our class, and we all wish him every success in the Navy. Activities: Glee Club 3 years; Track Team, ’41, ’42. NANCY WOODMAN A sweet attractive kind of grace; a full assurance given by looks.” Nancy, arriving from New Hampshire in 1942, joined us in our sophomore year. She surprised us by being a combination of good student and athlete, as well as the center of attraction for many of the Senior boys. Her personality and versatility make her a great addition to our class. Nancy hopes some day to learn to ride a horse, but until then her favorites include sports, big helpings of chop suey, hay-rides, and watching Pop” in chemistry class. She dislikes being called Legs” and dropping books only to watch all the papers fly away. Nancy leaves us in June, bound for Radcliffe, with broad ambitions of medicine and travel. We all send our best wishes with this illustrious member of the class of ’45.

No wonder, for there we were—a group of terrified little youngsters. Miss Adams didn’t quite know what to do with us. The members of that class still with us are Joan Brouillette, Alice Dolan, June Fiske, Pauline Jacques, Priscilla Otto, Nancy Peakes, Christine Tebo, David Campbell, Seaton Jackson, Henry John¬ son, John Mele, Jack Patterson, Tommy Tilton, and Alden Whittemore. Were we envious because Alice Dolan could spell electricity, and Miss Brotchie took her around to show her off! Geraldine Morgan, our ballet dancer, came skipping happily into the second grade. No one had courage enough to enter our class in the third or fourth grades, because in the third, Priscilla Otto was pulled out of her chair by the ears for breaking a pencil, and in the fourth, one of the boys had the misfortune to have his ears boxed because of an impertinent remark to the teacher. Howver, we were redeemed in the fifth, for Marshall Hills and Kenneth Turner came into our happy little gathering under the sheltering wing of Mrs. Eldred. Shall we ever forget how a certain brave lad put a mouse in Mrs. Eldred’s desk drawer, and how the girls all shrieked? Ruth Maxted and Jean Tiffany joined us in the sixth grade, and Anna Sullivan and June Dugan, a redhead with a temper to match, left us. As we sailed into junior high school, Andrea Byron, Lorraine Comeau, Martha Davis, Vera Graves, Betty Tebeau, and Alfred Edmunds came along to suffer with us. We certainly had fun this year with the unusual minstrel show we put on in Assembly. With our impressive entrance into the eighth grade came one of our most popular girls, Kay Ritz. Poor Kay! someone was forever trying to dunk those lovely pigtails into an inkwell. In our freshman year we gave poor POP” a good many headaches with all our talking. Several new pupils—Jeanne Rogers, Sally Caffrey, Phyllis Brown, Naomi Newell, Carolyn Robinson, and Bob Owens—joined our ranks, and Eleanor Simmonds came and went. 14 In our sophomore year Nancy Woodman, the New Hampshire belle, and Kenny King joined our happy little group, while Harry Patterson, Noel Coletti, Bob Owens, Corinne Crehan, Louise Benotti, and Bruce Ayer left. In our junior year, we gave the Junior Prom at which Dolly Clark was chosen Queen, and her court included Betsy Shaw, Jeanne Rogers, Dorothy Sheehan, Carolyn Robinson, Lorraine Comeau, and Madeline Homond. During our senior year, John Beebe, Eleanor Walls, and Gwendolyn Gale reinforced us. One of the high spots of the year came when Henry Johnson represented us on the Junior Town Meeting of the Air,’’ where he ably dis¬ cussed Should We Abolish the Electoral College?” We were well represented. Remember the time Snap” Malloy threw a ball into the girls’ locker room, sending a shower of glass down poor Gerrie’s back? Remember the time someone threw John Beebe’s clothes into the girls’ locker room and they couldn’t be found until a certain young lady suddenly discovered them and gave them back? We will long remember the members of our class now in the armed serv¬ ices. These include Paul Foote, Gordon Desmond, Philip Noyes, and Ken¬ neth King in the Navy, and Alfred Edmunds in the Army Air Corps. As a class we have had our difficulties, but the good times we have had have more than made up for them.

EVERETT SCHWARTZ 16 CLASS PROPHECY TIME: 1955. t SETTING: Mr. Cummings’ house—Discussion Club, with the Class of 1945 as guests. JUNE F.: While the others are preparing the food, let’s find out what’s become of the kids” of ’45. I’m still pounding the typewriter down in New York. I’ve got a cute little apartment on 32nd street—it seems queer to be back in the peace of Weston again. I was talking to Jeannie just before I came here. She meant to come, but Whitey was using the helicopter. They’ve settled down in Newton. NANCY W.: So Jeannie’s married, too? I finally decided to turn domestice myself, after being a scientific research worker for a while. Now I’m busy being Bob’s better half. Hey, do you know who I saw yesterday? Nancy Peakes—she’s an up-and-coming journalist for the Herald. I knew she’d make the grade. Remember the marks she used to get? BETTE T.: Yes, she’s c ertainly gone places since she left dear old Weston! Does anyone know whether Audie and Candy were first married as we thought they’d be? NANCY W.: Oh sure— they didn’t wait long! Candie runs a nursery school, so she’s tied down by the little dears. Audie has turned businessman—he and Tom Tilton are having quite a time keeping Ogilvie’s out of bankruptcy. They’ve got Phil Noyes in on it, too. He’s their accountant. I guess I don’t need to ask what you’ve been doing, Bet. I imagine you’ve had some rare times with the internes! BETTE T.: You’ve got me all wrong, Nance—my interests still lie in Waltham. Besides, I don ' t see many internes. I’m a visiting nurse now. Lorraine Comeau is a registered nurse now, too, you know. We met at a nurses’ convention last week. NANCY W.: Yes, so I’ve heard. Phee—what have you been doing with yourself? PHEE B. : Don’t tell me you haven’t heard about the sportswear shop that Sally and I own? It’s right near the Greyhound Bus Terminal in town. Chopper’s going to come into the business, too, since she’s been managing the Weston Sport Shop. KATY G.: Do you own that little shop on Arlington Street where those flashy slacks are sold? PHEE B.: Of course—they’re our specialty. Do you know whom we saw the other night in at the Top Hat ? Johnnie Mele’s Melodeers, and Chris Tebo as their torch singer. They are really hot! Katy, are you still teaching Latin, French, and history at Winsor? KATY: Strange as it may seem, Phee, I am. ALICE: I guess I shouldn’t ask about that gorgeous ring, Katy, but don’t tell me you’ve finally singled them down to just one! KATY: Ye-e-es—New York is a won-der-ful place, but to change the subject, whatever became of our class politician, Naomi? ALICE: I thought you all knew—Naomi is touring the country; she’s up for Congresswoman. Speaking of touring, I’ve been around a bit myself! South America, no less! I’m a secretary for the Standard Oil Company. I’m going back soon. Ah—those Brazilians! Miss Hard¬ ing’s Spanish certainly came in handy. ELEANOR: Have you heard? David Campbell is at the head of a model agency. Who would’ve known it? 17 PAULINE: What do you do, Eleanor? ELEANOR: Oh, I’m just a housewife now. I was a model for a short while, but better things came along. PAULINE: Uh huh! Well, I’m a dress designer for the Mademoiselle Shop in Wellesley. JUNE F.: I’ve seen your clothes advertised in New York papers. Pretty soon you won’t even know us, what with being so famous, and traveling everywhere! PAULINE: Speaking of traveling, th ey tell me that Kay Ritz has packed bag and baggage and left us for Delaware. 1 wonder what’s the attraction in the South? JUNE F. : Oh, she’s teaching kindergarten down there, among other things. KATY: I was talking to Gerry Morgan the other day. She ' s traveling with the Ballet Theatre as Prima Ballerina no less! She was on her way to Montana for a vacation with Jean Tiffany, who owns a huge ranch out there. PHEE B. : Now Jean can ride horses to her heart’s content. Say, what’s become of all the male members of the class? 1 know Jack Patterson’s still wolfing around, dating as only he knows how. It’ll take some girl to make him settle down! Katy G.: I guess the other fellows aren’t quite as active as the class wolf! I know that Marshall is a famous composer, because I heard one of his latest songs on the Hit Parade. I think that it was first. Remember the boogie-woogie he used to play? He was really good. I can’t imagine who his latest is, although I guess no one will ever know whom he goes with. John Beebe’s likewise original. He’s working on a speedy hair growth tonic. Remember that sharp crew cut of his back in ’45? PHEE B.: I guess John’s missed his golden locks, huh? Did you girls know that Henry Johnson finally took leave of Pop Sawyer and the lab? He’s a chemical engineer over in Europe. Watch out for those French girls, Henry! PAULINE: I always thought that Henry’d go places. Does anyone know whether Ken Turner is still around, or has he taken leave of our fair town, too? Bette T. : Looks as though he’s a second Walt Disney — he just created a new cartoon. He gets a new car about every mon th. Remember all the jalopies he used to wear out back in school? Oh, here comes Joanne. Hi, Jo. Joanne: I’m sorry that I’m late; I just came from the flying field. I own my own plane now. Where ' s the Lily Pons of our class, by the way? I was supposed to meet her at the field, but I thought that she’d probably come along without me. Nancy W. : Oh, you mean Georgia? She was probably too busy — or she will be along late as usual. You know, she has the leading role in La Boheme at the Metropolitan. JOANNE: I don’t see Gwen around. I’ll never forget the way she used to make baskets in gym! KATY G.: I’m thinking that she went back out West, in spite of what Mr. Cummings said about folks the other side of the Mississippi. What’s keeping the food? Let’s go see — it must be nearly ready by now. by Katy Gallagher and Alice Dolan. 18 Class of 1947 Front Row (left to right): Conrad Schofield, Harriet Howell, Margaret D’lntinosanto, Betsy Van Heest, Marion Wheeler, Gilmore Creelman, Frank Parsons, Bob Clapp, Weston Blake, Jean Stewart, Dottie Sheehan, Irene Havey, Edward Dobbs.

WESTON BLAKE 19 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1945, of the town of Weston, Commonwealth of Massa¬ chusetts, being of sound minds and memories, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in matter and form as follows: To Mr. Rhoades and the faculty we, the class of 1945, give sincere thanks for their untiring efforts to equip us in every way for problems of the future. David Campbell leaves his wolfing (?) to Charlie Place, who so far re¬ mains untouched by this latest fad. Jean Tiffany leaves her love of horses to the Blimp.” They say horse¬ back riding is about as good as the DuBarry” salon. Jeanne Rogers leaves her amazing incomprehension of what’s going on around her to Buddy Clive. Sally Caffrey leaves the memory of those days when she came to school without a trace of make-up to Mikey Browning. Lorraine Comeau leaves her place in the Gondoliers” to Betty Lou Bolster. Joan Brouillette leaves her big hair bows to David Whelpley for his blond curls. Nancy Woodman leaves her knowledge of how and where to use ski boots, especially new ones, to John White. Jack Patterson leaves his ways (?) with the women to Gardner Brown. June Fiske leaves her fine penmanship to Myrtle Littlefield. Phyllis Brown leaves her Harvard accent to Moe.” Pauline Jacques leaves her ability to be seen and not heard to Joe Studley. Nancy Peakes leaves her will power in dieting to any poor unfortunate who’s tried and failed. Eleanor Walls leaves her ability to be inconspicuous to Lucy Leatherbee. Kenny King leaves his love of eating to Jack Martin, hoping he’ll grow out” a bit, as well as up.” Gwendolyn Gale leaves her sharpshooting to Dottie Sheehan—the com¬ bination of this with what she already has ought to make her a star player in years hence. Naomi Newell leaves her ability to keep up a good argument to Don McRae. Are we kidding? ? Kay Ritz leaves her long, curly hair to Lois Rinehart. Alice Dolan leaves her lack of conceit over her good looks to Jack Van Heest. 20 Priscilla Otto leaves her jolly naturalness and unsophisticated airs to Markey Whitney. Georgia Ragan leaves her ways with Mr. Taunton to the principals of next year’s operetta. John Mele leaves his popularity and great big grin to that isolationist, Lyman Parsons. Marshall Hills leaves his ability to avoid the public eye to Billy Brock. Philip Noyes leaves his ability to be devilish to Freddy Crafts. Geraldine Morgan leaves her ability to climb the library bookshelves to any junior who wants to keep next year’s freshmen amused. Betty Tebeau leaves her alibis to that certain group of silly sophomores always trying to elude Miss Spear. Alden Whittemore leaves his nimble walk to Parker Harrison. Christine Tebo leaves her smooth dancing to Charles Whiting. Andrea Byron left us this year for the sunshine and orange blossoms of California. Katherine Gallagher leaves her numerous and sundry love affairs to any needy underclassman. Henry Johnson, who hates too much talk, just leaves, to escape Margaret D’Intinosanto. John Beebe leav es a certain part of his wardrobe to the girls’ locker room. Carolyn Robinson leaves her ability to keep a beau to Ginny Wheeler. Alfred Edmunds leaves the teachers’ nerves slightly on the ragged side. Seaton Tackson leaves his devotion to duty on the basketball court to Beverly Hastings. The Senior Class leaves its table in the library to Merithew Hills. Now that we’re leaving, perhaps she’ll invite some of her own class over to join her. We hereby nominate and appoint Mr. Carl T. Rhoades to be the sole executor, without bond, of this our last will and testament, and we hereby re¬ voke all former wills and testamentary instruments. The attached instrument was thereunto subscribed by the class of 1945, the testators, in the presence of each of us and was at the same time declared by them to be their last will and testament, and we are at their request signing our names hereunto in their presence as attesting witnesses.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council organized in September with plans for a busy, pros¬ perous year. Marshall Hills, president of the Senior Class, also presided at the council meetings, with Henry Johnson as vice-president and Nancy Peakes as secretary. In spite of the difficulties we had in finding a suitable time to meet, during the year we took over the planning of assembly programs and sponsored a square dance at the Town Hall on December 29th. We wish all sorts of suc¬ cess to those who will be elected to carry on the duties of the Student Council next year. 29 DISCUSSION CLUB This year, Mr. Cummings’ house once more was the scene for those gabby gatherings known to the world at large as Discussion Club. Our meetings weren’t held quite as often as in previous years due to unusual activity in the realm of the seniors, but good discussions prevailed when we were able to get together. Probably the most interesting time of all was the session in which Buddy Hanney and Phil Sheehan told of their experiences on the Western Front. We leave this worthy institution in the hands of the Juniors in hopes that they will have as good a time as we had, with no broken cups to our record and a great many suggested theories on world affairs. % Front Row (left to right): Norman Clive, Seaton Jackson, Jack Patterson, Kenneth King, Marshall Hills, John Mele, Charles Place, Alfred Edmunds, Thomas Tilton, John White, Parker Harrison.

FOOTBALL Good sportsmanship and fair play were outstanding in this year’s football team even though success in winning wasn ' t quite up to par. The boys won only two out of nine games, but ended the season with a total of 113 points against 136 for combined opponents. Special credit goes to Captain-elect John White for scoring twelve of our eighteen touchdowns, and to Tom Tilton for his perfect tackling. We also find it hard to forget the Chelmsford game which disabled some of our best players so early in the season. Best of luck, next year, boys!

The first was with Cambridge School on their field, and the score was 3-2. Dottie Sheehan made all the goals. The second team tied 0-0. Then Cambridge came to see us on our own field, and we defeated them 2-0, with Dottie Sheehan and Joan Brouillette scoring. Again the second team tied 0-0. Our greatest victory came in defeating Wellesley 1-0, the hardest game we had to play, with Beverly Hastings making the point. When Maynard came to see us on our own field, we defeated them 2-0, thanks to the goals made by Joan Brouillette and Joan Camman. Second team won 2-1. Our last game on Maynard’s field was close all the way and ended in a 1-1 tie, all credit for scoring due to Lois Rinehart. Second team tied again 0-0. It was a wonderful season, girls, and those of us who graduate this year leave wishes for the same success to next year’s team. FIRST TEAM Nancy Woodman (Capt.), 1. h. Lois Rinehart (Mgr.), c. h.

That ' s this year’s team, with a record of sixteen straight wins, and a total number of 664 points against 293 tor combined opposition. High scorers on first team were Captain Seaton Jackson with 208 points, John Whizzer White with 186 points and Lreddie Crafts with 155 points. Special credit is also due Jack Van Heest and Charlie Place for their excellent guarding. Buddy Clive led second team with 1 17 points, and with Bill Van Heest and David Whelpley as forwards and John Beebe and Parker Harrison as guards, this team, too, stayed undefeated throughout the season. A fine tribute to Coach Law and a threat to the Tech Tourney Class C” next year, these teams earned undying praise.

Missing the undefeated” title by loss of only one game, they piled up a score of 234 points against 124 for combined opponents. High scorers were Nancy Woodman with 105 points, Gwendolyn Gale with 65 points, and Joan Brouillette with 54 points, for first team; Dottie Sheehan with 43 points, and Sally Caffrey with 34 points for second team. Lois, Barbara and Phee deserve special credit for their excellent guarding, and substitutes Beverly and Joan should get a big hand, too. Thus, with spirit and sportsmanship on the rampage, our girls went through a season of eight games, winning six, tying one, and losing one.
