Sen ior Class Officers Weston Blake, President l ' rancis Parson, Vice-President Andrew Patterson, Treasurer Dorothy Ann Gilligan, Secretary Judith Winifred Arnold Radcliffe December 9, 1929 Winchendon “Judie” joined our ranks in the tenth grade and since then, Spring and Fall, Judie has been teased about baseball,—that is, about Ted Williams. This she bears with remarkable composure. In “The Fighting Littles” she gave an excellent performance as the club woman, Mrs. Harpeddle, and, quite appropriately, is an enthusiastic supporter of the Discussion Club. We have been unaware of Judie’s ambition to he a doctor, hut could not fail to know that she wants to see all the games in which the mighty Ted plays. “The Fighting Littles”, Discussion Club, Chanticleer Staff, Operetta 2 years. Civic League Wc.ston Blake, Jr. February 26, 1930 Dartmouth Jamacia Plain SportS ' loving “Westie” has been one of the few who have managed to stick it out for twelve years at Weston. Fie has filled his time with dozens of activities, earning high marks at the same time. He contemplates a busy future, too, since his amhi- tions to be a skier in the Olympics and a successful research chem¬ ist will call for a great deal of study. He intends to go to Dart¬ mouth, then M. 1. T.. and eventually study in Europe. Football 4 years. Glee Club 4 years, Cla.ss Officer 3 years. Student Council 2 years. Baseball 1 year.

Harold Winthrop Coburn August 3, 1928 W ' altham, Mass. “Chuhhie” is one of the athletic-minded members of the class and has played baseball and football all during high school. He considers sports as his hobby, but his .serious aim is to attend Maritime School and become a sea captain. W ' ith his good humor and energy, we know “Chuhhie” will reach his goal. Football 4 yeais. Baseball 4 year. ' -. Operetta : years. Priscilla Mae Compton Modeling School I August 18, 1930 Waltham, Mass. “Tilla” is an old standby since first grade and pigtail days and she is now our crack secretary, holding two positions at once; secretary of the Glee Club and also the Speech Arts 9:20 Club Tilla, who hopes to become a model, loves crowds of people and therefore revels in the atmosphere of the “Tote”, but when she can be found at home, it is in an oversize old shirt, eating anything and everything but onions. Glee Club 4 years. Glee Club Officer 1 year, 9:20 Club Officer 1 year Thomas Everett Damon September 4, 1929 Undecided Waltham, Mass. We all like “Tom”, even though we envy his ability to get his homework done on time without complaining. This industry certainly was a help to him when he had charge of locating properties for “The Fighting Littles” this year. Tom’s surprising hobbies are electric trains and movies, and his favorite sport seems to be baseball. He is undecided about the future, but we are sure he will be able to enter any college that appreciates a good, steady worker with an abundance of deter ' mination and energy. Baseball 1 year. Yearbook staff. Properties manager—■ “The Fighting Littles” Warren Ciidworth Davis May 10, 1923 Massachusetts State College Springfield, Mass. “Dave”, the very latest addition to our class, came to us from the Air Corps where he was a radio technician. Radio is also his hobby, but his intentions for the future incline more to soil con- servation work. During the short time he has been here, we have noted his able reasoning and sound judgment, the result of his many experiences. We hope that Dave fulfills his ambition to be an agronomist, and wish him the luck he deserves. r Margaret Viriginia D’lntinosanto April 6, 1930 New England Conservatory of Music Weston, Mass Margaret, more generally known to her classmates as “Maggie” or “Dintin”, is one of the few people in our class who started here in the first grade, and she has been amusing us with her witty remarks ever since. Maggie, whose favorite hobby is sing ' ing, and who has been noted all through high school for her ability along that line, hopes to go to the New England Conserva- tory of Music, where we predict for her a brilliant success. Cilee Cluh 4 years. Operetta 4 years. Discussion Cluh Constance Beverly Emory April 7, 1930 Mt. Ida Boston, Mass. “Connie” has participated in many diverse activities in the short time she has been at We.ston and has been successful in all her undertakings. ,Shc says she has no ambition, hut has dreams of becoming a writer. One of her likes is driving fast cars, but she will probably have her fill of spectl after college when she becomes an airline hostess. floc kcy 1946, Basketball 1946, Queen ' s Court 1946, Cheerleader 1946, Clce fllub 1946-1947 Nancy Flint January 30,1930 Wheelock “Blimp was a newcomer to us at the beginning of the fifth grade and through the years she has become well loved by all her class mates. She always has a smile for everyone, even though she IS teased to death about the milkman. As we recall our W’eston High .School days, we shall remember how on Christmas Eve, 1946, Nancy’s beautiful voice thrilled the Murphy Ccncral Hospital when the chorus entertained the sol¬ diers there. Nancy, loving children, wants to become a nursery school teacher, and we can imagine the children being enraptured by her - ' plcndid voice. “The fighting Littles”, Hockey 3 years. Operetta 4 years. Basketball 4 years Clyde Foote March 29, 1929 Stockbridge Waltham, Mass Clyde, known to most of us as “Footie”’, started with our class in the first grade. Without him the school plays and operettas would have seemed impossible, for he has been our chief eleC ' trician at all given in the past four years. He works afternoons at the cemetery and is an active member of the “Spooks Club”. The Elizabethen Play House he made for the English department will be appreciated by later classes. Clyde hopes to become a farmer after going to Stockbridge, and we wish him the best of luck in his work. Chief Electrician at School Plays and Operettas Rose Susan Gage October 23, 1929 Burdett Somerville, Mass Rose, the domestic member of our class, joined us in the second grade, and has remained with us from that time. She is very -fond of music and her favorite pastimes are sewing and cooking, which seem to fit in well with her ambition to be happily married. She plans to continue her education at Burdett or go to work after graduation. We are sure that Rose, with her agreeable manner and inter ' esting personality, will find the success she deserves. Charlotte Wheeler Gale August 26, 1929 Wheaton Oakland, Calif. “Lot”, California’s contribution to Weston High, joined us in our sophomore year. Coming to Lincoln in 1943, Charlotte is full of contradictions; she wants to get A ' 4’s (to thwart her teachers) and she likes the West—but not movie-made cowboys. Her ambi¬ tion in life at present is just to go to college, but after that she hopes to return to live in the land of real cowboys. Play ' 47, Discussion Club, Glee Club ’46, Reporter for Chanticleer Dorothy Anne Gilligan Middlebury June 7, 1930 Boston, Mass. Except for a two year leave-of ' absence in the eighth and ninth grades, “Dag” has been with us from the very first. She par ' ticipates in many school activities. Her hobby is drawing cartoons, and she admits that she is fascinated by polka dots of all descrip ' tions. Her interest is languages, and in several years we shall probably he seeing “Dag” in the newsreels, successfully realising her ambition to be an international interpreter. “Fighting Littles”, Class Officer one year. Operetta two years. Cheerleader two years. Chanticleer Staff, DiscuS ' sion Club Irma Pearson Gilson December 2, 1928 ; Weston, Mass. ; “Worm” is one of the old standbys, who toddled into Grade 1 at Weston. Although most of her time is spent reading magazines | and spending money, she does have an ambition to be a secretary. i She likes dogs and horses, but not conceited boys nor (we sus ' j pect) people who make remarks about her hand ' knit sweater. | Operetta ' 47 i Irene Marie Havey October 6, 1929 Northeastern Boston, Mass. Irene, with her sharp wit and lively imagination, joined us in the fourth grade. She is always followed by her pet dog “Roger”, although .some allege him to be a product of the aforementioned imagination. Her main dislikes arc carrots, insincerity, and writ ' ing down her per.sonal thoughts; most other writing appeals to her. In fact, she hopes to make it her career. Hockey 3 years. Operetta 3 years. Basketball 3 years Chanticleer staff Harriet Anne Howell May 22, 1930 Bates Newton, Mass. “Harry” is one of these few stalwarts who started in our class in the first grade and has remained with us ever since. She likes all sports, candy, and the Red Sox, and, although she has main¬ tained very high marks, she considers homework her pet peeve. Always noted for her quietness and good nature, Harriet hopes to go to Bates and after that become a secretary or Spanish inter- ' preter or maybe both. Chanticleer staff, Discussion Club I ] Robert Joseph Johnson January 20, 1930 Boston University Waltham, Mass. “Boh” has been with us ever since the first grade, and has been recognized throughout the years as our class comedian. His chief interest in school has been science and he hopes to be an engineer after college. Bob likes to dance, sleep, and enjoy the company of young ladies, although his chief dislike is silly girls. He has participated in many activities, but will be remembered mostly for his work on the football team and his dramatic success I as Ham Ellers in “The Fighting Littles”. Football 4 years. Operetta 4 years. Student council 1 year. Discussion Club, Yearbook staff, “The b ' ighting Littles”, “For Her Che-ilus Sake” Evelyn Jean Jones July 5, 1930 Wellesley Brookline, Mass. . “Evie” is one of the youngest members of our class, but ever since she joined our ranks in our sophomore year we have been amazed at the capacity of the cavity where she stores her know¬ ledge. “Evie” plans to go to Wellesley next year, and then she wants to run an animal farm, thus continuing her present hobby, which is rai-sing German Shepards. Orchestra 1 year. Chanticleer staff. Hockey 1 year, “The Fighting Littles” [ Lois Kiernan Undecided June 8, 1929 Hanford. Conn. Although Lois spent only a few months of her senior year with us, her friendly, cheerful manner soon made her well liked by all. We were sorry that she left so soon, but hope to see her again in the future. Mary Sawyer Kubik August 16, 1930 Mt. Holyoke Boston, Mass. “Mink” joined our class, rather inconspicuously, along with the other Lincolnites, but in the next years her quietness vanished and her noise steadily increased in volume and now she is one of the more vociferous of the class. Her first love is listening to the symphony every afternoon, and her likes include sailing, piano practicing, and Putney Workcamp. After Mount Holyoke “Mink ' s” ambitions are to visit France, become a concert pianist, and travel around the world in a clipper ship. Discussion Club, Glee Club 1 year Lucy Lcathcrbee September 10, 1929 Junior College Boston, Mass. Our Junior Prom Queen, Lucy, has toiled with us since our days in the first grade, and has made a place for herself in every- one ' s heart. Her carefree ways are most refreshing although they frequently lead her headlong into trouble. Will those Tech Tourney days ever be forgotten when “Lorman”, after executing a perfect cartwheel, lost her shoe to the Provincetown stands? Some day she will be traveling in Cuba and we shall say proudly, “W ' c knew her when - - -” “For Her Che-i-ld’s Sake”, Cheerleaders 2 years. Prom Committee, Prom Queen, Queen’s Court, Discussion Club John Fiske Loud Bowdoin January 29, 1930 Boston, Mass. Although in our Freshman year “Jock” made a quiet entrance into our class, the following years found him more and more eloquent, and now he is famous as the Master of Monster words. Jock is one of the musicians of the class, so his hobbies, playing the violin and listening to music, are to be expected. Jock does not state any specific ambition; just wants to be a success. “For Fler Che-ilds Sake”. “The Fighting Littles”, Chess Club, Discussion Club, Chanticleer staff, Yearbook staff. Baseball ’4.3, Class Officer John Preston Maron December 22, 1929 Tufts Newton, Mass. When chess is mentioned around Weston, one is almost sure to hear the name of “Pete”, our chess champion, who came to us from Lexington at the beginning of our Junior year. When he is not pondering over a chess board, Pete is busy at his hobby, photography. Next year will find him at Tufts studying hard to become a civil or mechanical engineer, and a certain group of girls will miss the free taxi service to football games that he has generously provided for enthusiastic, fans. Operetta 1 year. Chess team Anthony Joseph Melone June 9, 1929 Northeastern Waltham, Mass. “Tony”, who has been with us since the first grade, has been noted for his athletic ability. Ffis favorite pastimes are eating and sleeping, which perhaps account for his constant good humor and energy. As well as participating in all sports, he has been very active in the Glee Club. After college, Tony hopes to go into business for himself. Football 4 years. Basketball 4 years. Baseball 1 year, (Operetta 3 years Francis Cabot Parson Harvard March 26, 1930 Boston, Mass. Frank came from Waltham when our eighth year of school was half over and things have been popping ever since, because Frank has participated in every school activity. In addition to his many class activities, he has been a star in Weston’s sports and even finds time to ride around in the “Deep ' Freeze Bomber”. Although Frank has been so versatile, or maybe because of this, he wants to retire to a life of hunting and fishing at twenty ' five and “notch” in Maine. Class Officer 3 years. Student Council 3 years, Discus sion Club, Operetta 1 year. Football 3 years, Ba.seball 4 years Andrew Burr Patterson September 22, 1929 Cornell, Harvard St. Louis, Missouri “Andy”, one of our most versatile classmates, joined us in the Freshman year and since then has been very active in sports, class, and other school affairs. His favorite hobbies are wood ' carving and playing the piano, but it is safe to say that among the.se hobbies he does not number yearbook editing, although he has certainly done a swell job in just that. After college he hopes to become a very prosperous mechanical engineer and we are sure he will succeed in this aim. Football 3 years. Baseball 1 year. Student Council 3 yeans. Glee Club 2 years, Cla.ss Officer ' 47, Co-Editor Yearbook ' 47, Discussion Club Charles Place June 29, 1927 b’ramingham. Mass. “Charlie”, although he started at Weston in the first grade, did not join our class until our Senior year, because he left school to serve in the United States Navy, returning this fall to complete his last year. He has been outstanding in athletics, having played both football and basketball, and he has also been active in the Glee Club. Charlie is not sure what he wants to do after he finishes schot)l, but we wish him the very best of luck in whatever field he decides to enter. Football 4 years. Basketball 3 years. Glee Club 2 years, “Priorities” ' 43 ' I I Joanne Black Ragan Fisher August 31, 1929 Boston, Mass. Joanne, who joined us in the fourth grade, has always been interested in acting, and after business school she hopes to do some work connected with the stage. Her favorite pastimes are reading and going to the theater, not to mention an extraordinary capacity for being late. We wish Joanne the best of luck in her stage career, but hope she won’t be late and miss her cue. Glee Club 4 years. Orchestra 1 year, “For Her Cheulds Sake” Miriam Edna Sargeant July 6, 1930 Radcliffe Springfield, Mass. “Mimi” joined us at Weston in the very beginning; namely, the first grade. Quiet and cooperative, she remained inconspic ' uous except for her good marks until our senior year, when she was elected co-editor of the Yearbook. Mimi’s two chief ambi ' tions are to learn to drive and to get to college, which she hopes will be Radcliffe. Her main hobby is playing the piano. She also enjoys skiing and roller skating. After she finishes college, Mimi hopes to become a teacher. Our schools need girls like Mimi with ability, imagination, and sincerity. Glee Club 3 yea rs. Operetta 3 years, Co ' Editor year- book ’47, Senior Steering Committee, Orchestra, Queen’s Court Carol Saurwein September 25, 1929 Undecided Belmont Carol came bouncing merrily into our midst during our junior year and ever since has done her best to make enthusiastic base- ball fans out of the Class of 1947. Her ambition is to see the Red Sox win 3 consecutive games against the St. Louis Cardinals. Perhaps you can guess her favorite pastime . . . playing baseball! Mr. Zorn will always be grateful for ithe wonderrul job she did as chairman of the property committee for “The Fighting Littles”. In the immediate future Carol wants to attend a Southern college. Hockey 2 years. Operetta 1 year. Discussion Club, Properties Committee—“The Fighting Littles ’ Jay Arthur Schlaikjer Harvard or Yale October 5, 1929 Boston, Mass. The group of frightened first graders facing Miss Adams in 193 3 suddenly heard a singing voice and beheld Jay “with a song in his heart” and an ambition to sing at the Met. His pastimes are hunting, fishing, onc ' finger pounding on the piano, and of course, singing. Our plays and operettas would have lost much of their sparkle without Jay, and he has abso done a wonderful job as editor of “Chanticleer” this year. Football 3 years, “For Her Che-ilds .Sake”, “The Fight ' ing Littles”, Ciperctta 4 years. Conrad Schofield October 1 4, 1929 Waltham, Mass. Conrad is another one of those select few who have been with our class since the very beginning. In .school his activities have ranged from sports to operettas, but he di.scloses that after school he immediately turns to his favorite hobb y - eating. He wants to travel throughout the United States, and after graduating. Con- rad hopes to find a job that will enable him to fulfill his ambition. Football 4 years, Basketball 2 years. Baseball 3 years, t peretta 4 years. Glee Club 4 years. Bet.scy Shaw March 28, 1929 Junior College Boston, Mass. Since she joined u.s, ' way back in the fifth grade, Betsey has been found in the midst of any and all activities. After graduat ' ing, she plans a busy life, too, for after junior college she wants to take up dancing as her career. When she is not occupied with sports or drawing, “Bet.s” hobby is eating ice cream. Hockey 6 years. Basketball 4 years. Cheerleader 2 years, “Priorities”, Operetta 4 years. Glee Club 4 years. Queen ' s Court 1 year, “The Fighting Littles”. Dorothy Louise Sheehan Undecided May 18, 1929 Newton Dot came to us in the third grade and since then has carried on the Sheehan tradition in Weston’s sports activities. She has been a swell cheerleader, a captain in hockey, and a star in bas¬ ketball! Her long brown curls and sparkling personality helped to make her an attraction as “Antoinette” in “The Fighting Littles” and a beauty twice in the Queen’s Court. Whispering is one of her diversions, but sports are her major held and some day wc are sure that we shall see Dottic skating in the Ice Follies. “The Fighting Littles”, Hockey 6 years. Basketball 4 years. Cheerleader 2 years. Operettas 4 years. Queen’s Court 2 years. Glee Club President. T homas Simpson February 14, 1929 New York City Tom joined us in our junior year and ever since then the class has been hearing about radio stations and jive jamborees. Tom has been very active in school and this year he is President of the Glee Club. His favorite occupation is working with radios and phonographs. He hopes to go to Europe after he finishes school. We wish him the best of luck in his radio work, and we think he will make a really topnotch announcer. Student Council 1 year. Chanticleer staff, “Fighting Littles”, Glee Club 1 year. Glee Club Cflicer 1 year. Operetta 1 year. Barbara Travis September 21, 1929 Endicott Brookline There has never been a dull moment since “Bibs” joined us in 1936 with her spontaneous laughter and happy manner. She is a marvel in anything she attempts: as “Screwball” in “ i ' he Fight¬ ing Littles” and as captain of the 1947 basketball tearr.. Her perfect imitation of a child’s talk shows her interest in children, as her artistic ability is shown in her position on the “Chanti¬ cleer” staff. When wc think of “Bibs” it will always be with a smile be¬ cause her joyous ways have made her a friend of everyone. “The Fighting Littles”, Basketball 3 years. Chanticleer staff. Operetta 2 years. David Upham May 29, 1928 Hyde Park “Dave”, with his ability to sing and act, has always been an asset to the school. His favorite pastime is collecting and put¬ ting together picture puzzles. However, he has managed to ap¬ pear 111 many musicals with the Hovey Players, where he ha ' gained a great deal of experience for a future musical careei, hich is one of his ambitions. b ' ootball 2 years. Basketball 2 years, “For Her Che-iids Sake”, Operetta 3 years. Detsy Ann Van Heest December 1 1, 1927 Museum of Fine Aits Isorth Weymouth Friendly, pleasant Betsy, with her amazing combination ot athletic and artistic ability, has been a popular classmate ever since her arrival at Weston in the fourth grade. During the last three years she has ably demonstrated the athletic skill of the van Heest family by acJve appearances on the basketball court, but art is really her first love. Those who have seen examples of her work certainly must agree that with such a marked talent she is bound to succeed in her ambition to be a fashion artist. Basketball 3 years. Operetta 1 year. Kelton Blair Wagner, Jr. f ' ebruary 3, 1928 American Banking Institute W ' altham, Mass. Kelton came to W ' eston in his junior year, and his presence has been greatly appreciated in these two years, especially his work as a stage hand in all our productions. He likes to listen to rec¬ ords as a hobby, and his interesting ambition is to become a banker. This ambition will no doubt be realized, since Kelton seemed undaunted by the big Weston Bank holdup which he wit¬ nessed this year. Stage hand, plays and operettas. Charles Willard Walls April 10, 1929 Dartmouth West Medford “Charlie” has been reasonably steady in all his interests at Weston, but, because his ambition is to lead a happy ' goducky life, we suspect that there is something of the vagabond in him. His favorite pastime is playing the drums, but he shows unmis ' takable pleasure at being asked to supervise the modern problems class in Mr. Cummings’ absence. (Or does he?) Charlie wants to be a lawyer and have “lots of money”. Operetta 2 years. Class Officer 1 year. Susan Wiley January 19, 1930 Massachusetts State Cambridge “Susie”, one of the Lincolnites who joined our ranks in the freshman year, has proved to be a valuable classmate with her work on the magazine staff, and her contributions to the High School Poetry An.hology. In spite of her literary bent, Susan has some widely divergent hobbies, among them playing the flute and collecting insects. This latter she intends to make her career, as her ambition is to be an anthropologist. Orchestra 1 year. Discussion Club, Chanticleer staff. Publicity manager, “The Fighting Littles”. Virginia Dorr Williams May 1, 1929 Mount Holyoke Cambridge, Mass. “Bunny”, one of the artistic members of our class, can always be recognized in class as the girl behind the knitting needles. Her hobbies are drawing and reading, and, though art is her forte, she is also an excellent writer. With these talents Bunny cannot help but fulfill her ambition, which is simply to get to college next year. Hockey 2 years. Basketball 2 years. Yearbook staff, Class Officer 2 years. Class The Class of ’47 is passing through the portals of learning at Weston for the last time. The long coveted diploma is about to be received by each with a sense of satisfaction in the knowledge of a job well done and the pleasant realization that henceforth he will be known as an alumnus of Weston High School. Being an alumnus may possibly mean sinking into obscurity as far as the future annals of Weston High School are concerned, hut with fellow alumni it gives one the opportunity of indulging in the delightful pastime of “Do you remember the time when . . .? i In the history of the Class of ' 47 there certainly are many incidents | one may recall. j i The “least understood class in the history of Weston High, ' Its members seem to have been cursed with the ability to do the j wrong things at all times. Perhaps that is due to the large amount of restless brain power which has been prominent in the class since its introduction to Miss Adams and Weston in ' 35. ' School life in those days consisted of sitting on paper towels (for the youngest members of the group), being in tears, (as Bibs was, at the sight of a dozen little boys and girls excitedly encircling her to the tune of “Ring Around the Rosy”), and vieing for the position desired by all the girls ... a place on the list of Doug Hammond ' s ten “best girl friends”. j Somehow we survived the ordeals of our first reading and writ ' ! ing lessons and made our way to the “higher grades”. As fourth graders we began the battle of .sexes with Johnson and Schlaikjer leading the opposition, and Dot Sheehan mapping out the plan of attack for the girls. In the fifth grade Mrs. Eldied gave us our first taste of real dis ' cipline (write Chatterbox 100 times). Then we became the aristo ' crats of the elementary building . . . sixth graders. We were the I ones who rang the morning and dismissal bells, who set the exam ' pie for the lower grades, who patrolled the driveway in front’ of . the school. Incidentally, the Class of ' 47 has the honor of first or ' ganizing the group of patrol boys which still does such fine work. Also in the sixth grade the best qualities in each of us were uu ' covered by “Maggie’s” prolonged illness, when we showered her with gifts of jumbo crayons, paper dolls, coloring books, and car ' History nations, all delivered by the then bashful Bob Johnson. T h ' ' n we were in Junior High, a little scared by the bell schedule and the system of slips, as previously described to us by Miss Staples. Soon, however, we got into the swing of things and were listening to Mrs. Hill warning us about the difficulties we would meet in high school. And what are our memories of junior high? . . . embarrassing moments in Miss Marble’s hygiene classes, the parties at Joanne Ragan’s house, the temper tantrums we encouraged in one of our members, as well as his deep interest in dead birds, one of which Miss Johnson discovered in her desk. Mrs. Hill had tried to prepare us for high school. We became Ircshmen in 1943 and for the next four years we were continually being impressed with the fact that college life would be infinitely harder than high school. With the encouragement of Miss Spear, the girls spent many Monday afternoons folding bandages for the Red Cross, in an at ' tempt to redeem ourselves in the eyes of our upper classmen, who had tagged us “foolish freshmen.” As sophomores, a group of girls tried to enliven the drab appear ' ance of the corridors by personalizing the lockers with the owners ' names in “Red Dragon” nail polish. However, Miss Spear didn t appreciate our artistic efforts and the next day found the group energetically at work with polish remover, although the ring leader was at home, conveniently ill. By special arrangement, the can ' Can dance to be given at the Junior Dance was previewed in Miss Harding’s Spanish class, to the intense mortification of the dancer whose skirt suddenly be ' came loose and fell to the floor. Chemistry classes proved the undoing of some of us. How could Tom Simpson have substituted HNO. for HjSO ? The resulting brown fumes which filled the lab brought his error before the eyes of all. Judie, somehow, once dropped a whole drawer of magnets and spent the better part of the period on her hands and knees. We know we have left a mark on Weston High School; we sin ' cerely hope it has been a good mark. We believe that the mark Weston has made on us has been a good one and one which will stay with us always. Last Will and Testament We the class of 1947, of the town of Weston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts being of s ound minds and memories, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in the matter and form as follows: Judy leaves her great admiration for Mr. Cummings to next year’s history class. Weston leaves his gavel to the ’48 class president, with a pair of jet propelled skis as a bonus. Chubby leaves his orange bettle to Frank Jacques. Tilla leaves Billy to his many admirers. Tom Damon leaves his level head to Natalie Holdsworth. Warren Davis leaves his side comments to John Green, hoping he’ll never be without an ap ' propriate remark. Gordon leaves to join “sugar-throat Burns.” Margaret sadly leaves Dr. Fisher. Connie leaves a little “Itch to the Freshman class Nancy leaves in search of the milkman. Cl de leaves his ability to build Shakespearean stages to any A seeker in English IVB, Rcse leaves her patience in waiting for Air Mail letters to Ginny Colpitts. Charlotte leaves, belligerently muttering, “California or bust. Dag at last leaves these green pajamas with white polka dots to any prospective group of Fran- over goers. Irma leaves the clothes at the Touraine Shop to anyone who wants to try to keep up with Anne Russell. Irene, still bubbling over with class spirit, leaves.

It was quite a job to discover what some of the memhers of the class were doing, hut with a bit of sleuthing we managed to find almost everyone. We started by visiting dear old Weston High. Whom should we meet there but Susan Wiley, the assistant biology teacher. She told us the other classmates who were still in Weston were Rose Gage, who was happily married; Clyde Foote, who, with the help ol Warren Davis, the world- famous agronomist, had a prosperous farm; and Kelton Wagner, president of the Newt(Ui ' W.dtham Rank. From Weston we decided to take a bus to Fenway Park to see a game. We were rather surprised to find that Charlie Walls now owned the R. and W. Rus Fine. And what improvements he had made! He even had radios installed! We turned one on in time to hear the weather broadcast. Rut it wasn ' t E. R. Rideout who was re¬ porting- it was Tom Damon! Right after his broadcast, wc heard a Crooner Con¬ test. We nearly fell out of our seats when the winner was announced to be Gordon Desmond. Then came the big surprise. We heard a very frightening voice say, “Welcome to the Inner Sanctum this is Simpson, your h( ' st.” Wc hurriedly turned the radio off. booking out the window, wc noticed a sign that said “This Way to Murphy General Hospital and Miss Flint ' s Nursery School.” Wc got out at Kcnmorc and arrived at Fenway Park in time to obtain good scats. The first batter from the Yankee team w.is up, none other than Tony Mclonc. The pitcher who struck him out was Charlie “Himself” Place. After that anything could happen. And it did! Wc turned around to see Carol Saurwein yelling, “Get your ice cream, peanuts, and score cards here!” We escaped from Fenway Park as quickly as possible. Deciding to look around Roston, wc wadked down St. James Street, by the John Hancock Fife Insurance Company, only now it was the Upham Fife Insurance Com¬ pany. We turned back and walked down Newbury Street and passed two very dis¬ tinguished dress shoppes. One belonged to Retscy Shaw, and the other to Retsy Van- Hecst. We hear that Irma Gilson, the millionairess, buys all her clothes at one or the other instead of at the Touraine Shop. Retween these two stores was the Compton School of Modeling. As we were walking down Huntington Avenue a very large building caught our eye. It was the Gilligan Motor Scooter Co. We decided to go in and see “Dag”, only to learn that she was having a vacation in France. Nearing Symphony Hall, we noticed large posters announcing Marie Kubik as the piano soloist that afternoon, which lured us inside. We wei ' e led to very comfortable seats by the head usher, John Loud. We ran into Andy Patterson during intermis ' sion and learned that our three ' engineers, Evelyn Jones, Bob Johnson, and he, were planning to rebuild the Weston High School Assembly Hall. He also told us that Mimi Sargeant had become such a cultured Bostonian that she was the head of the Watch and Ward Society and had banned Irene Havey ' s new play that was to have opened at the Schubert. (That was quite different from the praise Mimi gave to the new children’s book that Barbara Travis had illustrated.) Andy also told us that Joanne Ragan was on a tour of South America starring in her new play, and that Harriet Howell went along with her as Joanne’s Spanish interpreter. Andy said that Charlotte Cale was back in California and refused to move. The next day we decided to go to New York. We learned that Preston Maron was also an engineer; he was piloting our train. We went to the opera to hear Jay and Margaret, who were starring in Counod’s “Faust” at the Met. And Jay wasn’t Faust! After the performance we went backstage to see the stars, and met Frank Parson, New York’s most eligible bachelor, and most persistent Stage door Johnnie. Our last trip was to Europe. We had our ehoice of taking the Harold Coburn Steamship Lines or the airline where Connie Emory was chief stewardess. Since we were in a hurry to attend the Olympic games, we flew over, but, for the sake of peace, resolved to sail back. At the games we saw Lucy Leatherbee, cheerleader for the United States; Bunny Williams, director of a Unitarian workcamp; and Dot Sheehan, now medical secre¬ tary to Conrad Schofield, D.M.D. Oh yes, the United States won by ten points, thanks to Westie Blake’s winning the ski championship. Even after all these surprises, we were quite pleased with the outcome of our class. Sincerely yours.

As he remarked to his wife; “One day you have children. They’re very nice. You love them. You think soon they will he charming young people and presently adults. But no, when they stop being children they become men from Mars — hut you still love them Jay Schlaikjer played the father, with Joy Rlaney as his daughter. Dotty Anne Gilhgan, the mother, tried to keep peace, a job which was made even harder by Arthur Coburn, as the young son. Others in the cast were Robert Johnson, Betsey Shaw, John Loud, Nancy Flint, Evelyn Jones, Dorothy Sheehan, Robert Brownell, Judith Arnold, Charlotte Gale, Barbara Travis, and Margery Morgan. The audiences thoroughly enjoyed both fine performances. Few of us will ever forget Friday, May 11, 1946, the date of our Junior Prom. Alter many weeks of exciting but careful planning for the most important social event of our junior year, the long-awaited day arrived. The afternoon of the Prom was spent climbing under fences, gathering apple blossoms, and arguing over the decorative scheme. It seemed we would never have everything arranged but that evening, among apple blossoms and rose trellises, Ken Reeves’ orchestra chose Lucy Leatherbee as queen. Her court included Miriam Sar- geant, Connie Emory, Dottie Sheehan, Sally Ann Bolster, Beverly Hastings, and Merithew Hills. The queen and her court were crowned with floral wreaths by Joe Studley and Frank Parson, presidents of the Senior and Junior Classes, respectively. The Class of ’47 feels that its Junior Prom made a lasting impression on every¬ one who attended it.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL This year the Student Council got under way during the first week of school with last year’s members until the new ones were elected. One of the first things it did was to set up the auxiliary table in the lunchroom, on which milk, ice cream, cookies, etc., are sold. This has worked extremely well and has speeded up the lunchroom lines considerably. As soon as the new members of the Student Council were chosen, then the council held its own elections. The following officers were elected: President— Weston Blake; Vice President—Andrew Patterson; Secretary—Joy Blaney. About the first thing the council tackled this year was the fivemiinute checkout period at the close of the day. This idea had been reinstituted at the beginning of the year, but the council felt that it was inadvisable. It presented its plan for cut ' ting this out and the faculty agreed to try it out for a week. Since it worked out all right, this plan has been continued in action. . A committee under Frank Parson supervised the work of amending the con ' stitution to the effect that there should be only two reports to the student body during the year instead of four. This amendment was ratified by the student body. A three ' fold plan of getting teachers’ lunches, slowing down the running on the stairs at noon, and taking studyhalls, has been worked out by the Student Council members. On the whole this plan seems to be working very well. The biggest job undertaken by the Student Council this year was the CARE program. For a period of three weeks appeals were made for contributions, and the council arranged for a speaker on CARE to appear in assembly. The elemen ' tary schools also contributed, and a total of $150 was collected, enough to send fifteen packages to Europe. A joint meeting of the Student Council and the faculty was arranged, in which several issues including cheating and the possibility of longer school day were dis ' cussed. SCHOOL MAGAZINE This year we decided to have a school magazine, aiid a contest was held to find a suitable name for it. Andrew Patterson won by submitting the name “Chanti ' deer.” The cditor ' in-chief, Jay Schlaik ' jcr, and an able staff worked diligently to produce the first issue. It was hard work for inexperienced people, but they turned out a magazine ot which we can well be proud. We hope that the m.igazine will come to have a more and more impor- tant place in school life as the years go by. so that it will become a firmly established tr.idition.

DISCUSSION CLUB Whenever possible during the school year a group of enthusiastic juniors and seniors gathered in the living room of Mr. Cummings to drink tea and discuss timely subjects. At two meetings this year, cheating in school was discussed at some length, and discussion on different religions also proved very worthwhile. Other topics were socialized medicine, the Palestine situation, and private schoolsl Discussion Club has only three rules: no personalities, no side-talk, and wash the cups afterward. These rules have been enough to make our meetings interest¬ ing, enjoyable, and profitable. Jit aclhtp left to ripht •. Hark Knir: Paul Schlaikjor, OcorRe Brouillftte. Allen Moore.

FOOTBALL Durinjr the blustery bill of 1946, Weston burst forth with a high-spirited foot¬ ball team for a win over Foxboro, and remained victorious for live straight games. Although Captain Tony Melone and the team met riithcr discouraging losses in the next three games, their spirit was not quenched, and they iichieved a fine win over St. Charles. This heightened the anticipation for the much talked of Wayland game. Even though we lost, the team fought well, and the large crowd in attendance watched an exciting battle. All in all. Captain Tony Melone has done a fine job leading his team through a .season of only four lo.sses as against six victorie.s.

BOY ' S BASKETBALL The opening ,u;inies st.irtcd this year ' s baskethall season nither badly, but the Westw ' ood jL ame proved th;it we could come through with a startling victory. E.K ' citing battles ensued, especially in the game with our tniditional rival, Wayland. This game, which we lost by one point, was one of the hardest fought contests in which Weston has ever participated. Since all of last year’s championship team had graduated, and this year’s team was composed .ilmost entirely of inexperienced play ' ers, we feel that they have made ;i grand showing with their spirit and ability.

The six returning letter men and last year’s second team will provide Coach Proctor with an abundance of talent. The schedule, which provides for eleven games, is highlighted by two contests with Wayland. Two dates are still open as we go to press. The team, due to unfavorable weather has not had formal practice as yet, hut with better weather and a few breaks, we are sure that this year ' s baseball team will give a good account of itself. 1947 Baseball Schedule April 16 Soiitfiboro Here April 19 Alumni Here April 22 Maynard There April 29 Sudbury There May 2 Wayland Here May 6 A.shland Here May 9 — May 1 3 Maynard Here May 16 Suuthboro There May 20 Ashland There May 23 — May 26 Sudbury Here May 29 W ayland There I ED.
