Vol. I, No. WEYMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL June 19, 1947 Man About Town Airplane Hits ' High School Class of 1947 Graduates Today A capacity audience assembled at the Weymouth High School to witness the graduation exercises of the class of ' 47. The day was pleasant as the class, composed of 288 members; filed slowly down the long walk led by Class Marshal, David Resnick; and class officers Alfred Spence, President; William Mcintosh, Vice-President; Nancy Dorn, Secretary; and Fred Loud, Treasurer. They were attired in maroon and gold caps and gowns— their school colors. The band was led by Mr. Jack and consisted of members from all classes, who played stirring music throughout the exercises. The welcoming speech was given by the president, Alfred Spence, after which the invoca- tion was given. Songs were sung by the entire class. Excellent speeches were given by several prominent Weymouth people. The announcement of those receiving scholarships was given and many of the students were so honored. The honor essay- ists, comprising three outstanding students of the class, gave their speeches. With the help of junior ushers, diplomas were then distributed, after which a closing prayer was given. The ceremony will certainly be a memorable experience in the lives of the class of 1947. There was no rest for teachers whose 1001ns faced the front of the building when parts of a trainer cuh were hoisted through the win- dows of 214A and B to aid the students in the study of aviation. Those air-raid drills which were held almost daily to safe-guard us in the event of an actual raid were certainly hoped for in the event of an examination. . . . A Booster Club was formed to consist of members of all classes to pep up the cheering at the foot- ball games and were certainly an asset at many of the rallies. They could see many of their pals up there on the stage, screaming away. Chemistry . . . Do you remember your first day in the lab . . . those huge clouds of smoke that came billowing forth from 305? The boys wanted to use everything in sight while the girls were afraid to touch anything. Conversations between teachers and pupils went like this: Please, sir, do I have to make chlorine gas? Does this burn? It ' s a wonder some of us are still alive! . . . Bottles on the desks! What is this? Many of the seniors had to bring grasshoppers to school for the study of biology. If one should accidently happen to get loose, the screams of the girls could be heard from one end of the building to the other. . . . A thousand-word history essay on the Constitution. Many a senior sat down with books before him to (Continued on Page 4) WEATHER Clear and bright, with no sudden change expected in the near future. EXTRA! MISSING PROPHECY FOUND! Police and detectives finally located the missing class prophecy of the grad- uating class at Weymouth High. It was found in the hide-out of Jack the Zipper, cached under a loose board. Jack couldn ' t be reached by the reporters for ques- tioning, but it was believed that he stole it from the class of 1947. The text read as follows: (Continued on Page 6) News Highlights Service Claims Students No less than twelve promising graduates left our wonderful high school in 1946 for service in the United States Army or Navy in order to be eligible for benefits under the G. I. Bill of Rights. Among the prospective graduates were Arnold Cook, Raymond DAmbrosia, Frank DeLorenzo, Paul Leary, Robert Horsch, Vito Pardo, Russell Steele, and Albert Sheehan, all from South Weymouth.
