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. Activities: Class Treasurer, ’43, ’45; Student Council, ’44; Hockey 3 years, (Captain, ’44); Basketball 3 years; Glee Club 3 years; Junior Prom Committee; Year Book Staff; Cheerleader; Discussion Club. 12

CLASS HISTORY One depressing September morn in 1933, the first grade teacher, Miss Adams, blinked her eyes twice at the curious spectacle confronting her. 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
