JOHN LOUD-CLASS OF 1947 Just eleven years ago in the class of 1947, John Loud, known to his classmates as Jock graduated. He was in the top half of his class, maintaining an honor roll record and having the distinction of winning the Sears essay contest in both his junior and senior years. Jock was known to be an intelligent, hard-working and compatible person. After leaving Weston, Jock went to Bowdoin Col¬ lege where he majored in music. He graduated from Bowdoin four years later and began a period of three years ' service with the United States Army. As part of Jock ' s duty he was sent to a special Army language school in Monterey, California. It was here that Jock learned to speak Russian and became interested in a field which was to become his career. His third year in the Army was spent in Austria where he utilized the special language training he had received. After his discharge, Jock went to Harvard College for two years and received his Master ' s Degree in Soviet Research. From this study he became a specialist in understanding European trouble areas. Jock then went to Washington, D.C., where he has been for o year doing government economic research. Today at the age of twenty-seven, only eleven years after graduating from Weston High School, John e%fi ue teed t6evi football team. After school each day Chief Viles would report to the town fire department of which he had be¬ come a member at the age of sixteen. In 1912 the Chief graduated from Weston High. He then attended North¬ eastern University on the co-op plan studying electrical engineering. Throughout his college life he remained a member of the fire department, and while working on the co-op plan, he was employed by the Edison Com¬ pany. He graduated from Northeastern in 1917. The Chief then served his time in the Army with the 14th Engineers. In 1919 he was discharged and worked as an automobile mechanic until 1920, when the sole police officer of Weston resigned. Thus, from 1921 until 1923 the Chief was a motorcycle officer and the only person of the police department. As the town and police force grew, he progressed to sergeant in 1923, and then to Chief of police in 1927, and he has re¬ mained Chief for thirty years now. There have been Viles ' in the Weston Schools as far back as 1826, when Chief Viles ' grandfather was a student. The Chief ' s sons, Jay and Henry, are the fourth generation of the Viles family to attend Weston Schools. Chief J. Sumner Viles has been an alumnus of Weston High for forty-six years and has seen many changes in the town and schools. He has done a job which many men could not have handled in the growing town of Weston of which the Viles ' are truly a part. J. SUMNER VILES-CLASS OF 1912 When J. Sumner Viles started his first year in Weston, he attended the Old North School which was formerly located on North Avenue. His first fve years of school were spent in a single classroom with one instructor doing the teaching of all fve grades. Chief Viles then attended high school classes in the building which is presently used for the seventh grade. During high school the Chief played baseball for three years and in his senior year, he joined the newly organized Loud is settled in his permanent career, living and keep¬ ing bachelor quarters with three other men in Washing¬ ton, D.C. Although the demands of his career keep him busy, John still fnds time to pursue his musical interests and is a member of a string quartet in which he plays the violin. As seniors we would like to wish Jock further success and contentment in his chosen career. We hope that when we are alumni, we also may do our share in helping our country and our communities.

Though young people may have no idea of their future, their individual abili¬ ties and interests must be developed and expanded. This will enable them in later years to make a wise choice of career. Seventh graders work energetically on their magazine drive and attend special seventh grade assemblies. Excellent teachers make the introduction to junior high a pleasant experience. Occasional dances form a beginning for social life and our youngest members are enthusi¬ astic supporters of the Weston football, basketball, and baseball games. ROW 1: T. French; R. Laughner; W.
