Driscoll, our Instructor and coach for the past four years. This Class deeply appreciates the privilege of receiving instruction in his classrooms and unites in the earnest wish - that he may continue in health and strength to perform useful service to his pupils for many years to come. RQ 1 as 'lift 5 I-- To you who are leaving our High School this year as its most recent graduates, I extend every good wish for a happy and suc- cessful future. Happiness and success are most likely to come to those who find that niche in life for which they are best fitted by natural ability and inclination: by those who have the desire to do their share in the work necessary for human progress. There should ever be kept in mind two great truths which men have tried to evade, unsuccessfully, from time immemorial, namely You cannot get something for nothing. No man can do your thinking for you. Stephen G. Bean, SUPERINTENDENT ,L The world is going through a troublesome period with nations distrusting each other. People everywhere are uneasy, class is set against classy race opposes raceg color of skin brings discrimination: and religions do not find it easy to agree upon the best way to worship God. All problems confronting humanity can be solved if the people of good will can organize and work together. Failure to work together can bring an end to civilization. You will forget many of the facts taught you in high school, but I hope you will inculcate and strengthen a tolerance for the other fellow's point of view and be big enough to agree to disagree amicably when you can't compromise. Remember that the other fellow has just as much right to his view as you have to yours, and that you have no more right to impose your view on him than he has to compel you to accept his view. May we all work to- gether for the common good. J. T. HOOD, JR., PRINCIPAL MRS. EVELYN R.

Vufn 1 :Tum A HISTORY OF WILMINGTON The Time: the year 1730. The Place: the Great and General Court of Massachusetts in Boston. The Object: the creation of a separate township from the already existing Woburn and Reading. Travel from the outskirts of Woburn to the center of the township, the village meeting-house, in the early l700's was by no means easy or comfortable in the heat of the sum er and the cold and snow of the winter. Therefore, the settlers in the 'Land of Goshen' and the 'Land of Nod' peti- tioned the General Court for a separate town- ship where they might build their own church and relieve themselves of the burden of the long and wearlsome Jaunt to Woburn every Sunday. The petition was granted and the quaint, Biblically named sections of 'Goshen' and 'Nod' were combined to form the new town of Wilmington. Not long after, the farms of seven residents of Billerica were added to the new township, enlarging it to a district about seven miles in length and four miles in width at the middle, than narrowing to the ends. Among the names of the first families of the town can be found Jacquith, Boutwell, Buck, and Harnden. The homes of these fami- lies are recorded as having been built around the middle and late l600's. After the year 1700 more and more settlers came to Goshen and Nod as exemplified by the large number found in the ranks of the founders of the church ln the new town. In the early days of Massachusetts a church had to be organized before a town could be uset off.n The first church in Wilmington was the Congregational Church. It was organized in 1730 and according to the agreement made between the town fgthgrs and the General Court the meeting-house was erected a little north of the'present bulld- ing-by 1755. It was a rude, unpainted strucq ture, but it served its purpose well until ' in 1764 it was enlarged and improved in sev- eral ways to care for the growing population. Because of its late founding, the town escaped the witchcraft delusion and certain other horrors prevalent in the earlier town- ships. However, there is the legend of Captain Kidd's treasure, and the story of the Indian massacre of one branch of the Harnden family. There is little to be said of the town's history from the time of its founding until the time of the Revolutionary War. No small proportion of the burden of the French and Indian Wars on this continent fell upon massachusetts. Wilmington contributed both men and materials. But as the years pro- gressed, the townspeople showed themselves most loyal to the colonies and their strug- gle for freedom. In 17o8, six and a half years before the Battle of Lexington, a delegate was sent to a convention in Boston, airing public grievances against the mother country. The next few years were compara- tively quiet, but the year 1773 opened with the rumblings of the approaching Revolution. The townspeople began building up a stock of powder and ball. When Boston was cut off from all its trade by sea, a town meeting pledged the town of Wilmington to join with Boston for the security of civil rights and the recovery of those taken from the colony by force. In March, 1775, some of the townsmen began organizing and drilling, and thus, early on the fateful morning of April 19, 1775, two companies of Minute Men left ' for battle. They fought at Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. all in all, 260 men of Wilmington were included in the revo- lutlonlsts' ranks, indicating that nearly all the able-bodied msn of the town were engaged in the struggle for liberty. The eighteenth century was brought to a close with a hint of the agricultural, indus- trial, and colllercial activity and prosperity that was to come to the town within tne next fifty years. In 1794, Colonel Loammi Baldwin, the engineer, turned the first sod of the liddlesex Canal, the earliest canal opened in the United States for the transportation of passengers and merchandise. It opened in 1 03 for traffic. The route lay from the lerrimac River, near liddlesex Village, to Billerica, through the Concord River to the Shawsheen, through Wilmington and Woburn to the lystic River and through ledford to Charlestown., From 1817 to 1836 the canal flourished, but with the building of the Boston and Lowell Railroad, and the operation of the first steam train in this part of the country in 1835, at least two-thirds of the canal's commercial activities were diverted to that line and the waterway ceased to pay. The town's chief agricultural product gave rise to the 'hop era' from 1306 to 1557. Eops at that time were of such great value to the town that Wilmington nearly came to be called Hoptown. This crop contributed much :Ln making the community famous for a short time. After the hop industry faded, diyersi- fied farming furnished the livelihood for most of the inhabitants. However, not many of the farms were on a large scale. Hence, some people turned to specialties, such as the cranberry. The neat business did a great deal in building up the general prosperity of the people of Wilmington. The largest single industry of the town was, and still ls, the Tannery. Lumbexiug also proved an important business. Moreover, the Baldwin apple has brought fame to the town where it originated. On account of the efforts of the same Colonel Loanmi Baldwin, who was responsible for the Iiddlesex Canal, the Baldwin found a forward position in the fruit market. The sight of the original tree was preserved for future generations with the monument on Chestnut Street, erected in lE9E by the Hu.'dord historical Association. leanwtile, ninety-six :en from Iilzing- ton had gone to serve tae Unis: in the Civil ber. Ci these, fourteen lost their lives. another became e general and was ccnzezder of a regiment which captured Jefferson Davis, near Macon, Georgie. The letter half of the nineteenth century sew the flocdtiie of prosperity drindle scneuzet, eltzougz the population was increasing quite rapidly. Iilzington became more and :ore e tour utose inhabit- ants founo their :ears of living in the city while they made their hozes in the country. Two more churches were estcclishei in the town: the 261102152 Episcopal, izccrpcre- ted in 1683, and the Roma: letzolic Jhurch, COHQIEISG in 1568. The sc:-cl systez of the town was consideracly izproved with the erection of t-e nest school in 1575, the Walker School iz l59o, tie South School in 1599, 523 the Mlitefielc School in l9Oo, in eo-itic: tc .a'se of :se four original scoool districts. In 1686, the town observe: its 150th anniversary with e gale celebration. The year lEBo introduced the Tele- phone Exchange into t:.e town. Tris ues the first of :any of the izprcvaaents in public services which cane to '1lnington. A serious fire in 1943 is the Square inau- gurated the Kilzington Eire Departzezt. Xeanwtile, the Police Department was grad:- ally increasing from a single constable to a number of officers. In 1915 the new Iileirgtcn Big: School was dedicated, replacing the school that is now known as the Centre School Again Iilrington men answered their ccuntry's call in 1917 when the first Iorld Iar commenced. Of the 157 to who re- sponded, three did not return, and tc their memories, now are three nemorial parks. The post-war scene was arcther of i-- provenent for the town, continuing on through the next two decades. The late 20's witnessed the installation of a modern water system and the erection of a bank building and two new store blocks at the Centre. From that time until the present the town has continued to improve and prosper in its semi-rural locality. It has a heritage of which the townspeople need not feel ashamed. There have been many tangible benefits in the past and more are in sight in connection with the post-war years. Invited guests, members of the school co mlttee, Mr. Bean, Mr. Hood, members of to mankind, although, as with other great houses, all its members are worth and distinction. But so common nowadays as to be matters of course, probably not of equal since books are taken quite as few people give any th0USht to the long chain of events which, reaching from the dim past up to our own day, has been necessary for their evo- lution. Yet if we look around on our book- shelves, whether we measure their contents by hundreds or by thousands, and consider how mighty is the power of these inanimate S the faculty, and of the graduating class-- This evening marks for us an end--and a be- ginning. It is the end of many happy years, the end of some pleasant associations, and the end of both truimphs and defeats alike. However, it is also the beginning of new ideas, new interests, new friendships. If this occasion were only an ending it might well be one of deep regret, but since it does mark a beginning too, let us be glad and thank those who have made it possible for us to achieve this moment. ALLITURY School Board, Mr. Bean, Mr. Hood, Faculty, Parents, invited guests: It is my privilege to welcome you here this evening in behalf of the Class of 1947. nThe Past is forever gone, the Future still our own.n We are grateful to our parents who have stood by us never wavering in their belief that we should achieve success. We also thank our teachers for their patience, our principal, our superintendent, and school committee and all friends who have been inter- ested in our progress and who have helped us attain the heights from which we may see into the Future. nTHE STORY OF BOOKSN The book family is a very old and a very noble one, and has rendered great services combinations of 'rag-paper with black ink on them,n and how all but limitless their field of action, it is but a step further to wonder what the first books were like. Man's first attempt to preserve his communications was the drawing of pictures on stone or smooth bone, representing the beast he hunted, or perhaps himself, or one of his fellows. These early drawings are the gems from which sprang writing, the parent of books, and liberator of literature. The Egyptians progressed to idea-pictures as a better way of conveying thought. These were called hieroglyphs or sacred writing on stone and papyrus. The Chinese also began in picture-words or sign-words, and still use them. Five thousand years ago, the Babylonians wrote on flat tablets and cones made from clay The wedge-shaped characters which the tablets bore were made by impressing the wet, soft clay w1th a triangular-pointed instrument of wood, bone, or metal. The tablet was then baked, and rendered exceedingly durable. This was called wedge-shaped or cuneiform writing. The Seirites simplifies hieroglyphs into letter signs, and the Phoenicians developed these into the alphabet. The Greeks accepted the Phoenician alphabet, adding the necessary vowels. Later, the Roman world borrowed the alphabet from the Greeks, using wax tablets, as well as stone, for writing. In the middle ages, fine books were made of sheepskin or parchment. Some of the most beautiful books in the world are found in the illuminated manuscripts of the medieval monas- teries, for at that time books, being rare, were appreciated, and it was deemed a worthy thing to make a good book and to make it beautiful. Two thousand years ago, the Chinese developed paper, and the discovery spread from Asia, remaining unknown to Europe until the Arabs introduced it about the tenth century, A. D. The first American paper mill ,was not built until 1690. One of the greatest inventions in history was the printing press. The first printed book was a Bible, probably printed by Johannes Gutenberg about 1458. Before the end of the fifteenth century eighteen European countries were printing books. Italy headed the list with seventy-one cities in which presses were at work, Germany followed with fifty, France with thirty-six, Spain with twenty-six, and Holland with fourteen. At first, books were too costly for the average person, and they were found only in the homes of the wealthy. Gradually, however, as more books were print- ed, reading matter became available to every- one. Books meant education, and education lifted man from the depths of ignorance. The printing press now produces thousands of fine books every year, and modern transportation and communication make these available to millions of readers. In closing I should like to quote a few lines from Carlyle's 'Heroes and Hero-Worshipn nln books lies the soul of the whole Past Time: the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream. 'The true University of these days is s Collection of Books.n Es-SA RACIAL TOLERANCE Tolerance is defined in the dictionary as willingness to be open-minded and patient toward people whose opinions or ways differ from one's own. Tolerance should play an important part in our lives, especially when we think of the many religions, parties, creeds, and races which make up the people of the world. I believe that racial tolerance is one of the most important of these, some- thing we should strive for today. It is not something trivial, which has started in the past few years because of the war in which we foughtg but it is something of the utmost importance which has been present since our earliest history. Even since the Pilgrims landed on our continent, three-hundred and twenty-seven years ago, people of all nations have been coming here to make their homes and live according to their beliefs. Immigrants become citizens of the United States by being naturalized. They do this because they want to be Americans, to live and believe as Americans do. They are recognized by our government as true Americans, and should be accepted by us as well. Many people, however, still look upon them as Frenchman, Germans, Italians, Chinese, or whatever nationality they were. when they became naturalized they surrendered all ties and obligations to their former government and, instead, pledged alle- giance to our United States. None of us are completely American, we are all of some foreign descent. Because a person is not of the same descent as you or I is no reason to reject him. Our Declaration of Independence, adopted in 1776, contains these words: 'we hold these truths to be self-evident:--That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.H The four- teenth amendment to our Constitution, adopted in lcbb, guarantees the right of citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. The fifteenth amendment, adopted in 1870, guarantees the right of e citizen, of any race or color, to vote. All men are created equal no matter what their race, creed, or color. All are entitled to the same privileges. America is a democracy, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people we believe in having the kind of government we want, and we believe in other nations having the kind of government they want. To protect our rights, and the rights of smaller and weaker countries, we entered two world wars. There was no racial distinction in selecting those who were to serve in the armed forces and those who were to work at home. There was no racial distinction on the battlefields when the men fought and died side by side. These people were willing to do all in their power to prevent a fanatic, who wanted nothing that anyone else believed in, from ruling the world. There should be no racial distinction now, at home. The United Nations' organization is an assembly of delegates from all the allied nations of the world. These delegates, working together, are striving to solve our international problems and secure a lasting peace and harmony between all nations. To succeed, this organization must have complete cooperation. lt cannot succeed if there is discord among the people of these nations. There will not be a lasting peace if the people of one race condemn those of others and believe that theirs is the only race able to rule the nations and the world. Racial tolerance is something that must be taught and practiced at home. Magazine articles and movies on tolerance are becoming more common, but these alone will not bring it about. keople must remember that America is a democracy, a government of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people, and that we are a nation, indivisible, promising liberty and justice for all. IZLASS HISTDR CLASS HISTORY We, the members of the class of nine- teen hundred forty-seven, will never forget that eventful day in September of nineteen hundred forty-three when we proudly entered the portals of Wilmington High School. How strange and new everything was to us! Be- coming Freshmen was the first stage of our adulthood. We were pi-and to be walking down those corridors with the upper claaamen passing by and giving us sympathetic, and at the same time, amusing glances. We, as all Freshmen classes, were con- fused for the first few days as to which doors to enter, on which side of the cor- ridors to walk, and what the bells stood for. After a few weeks, we overcame our timidness and became normal high school students lade with books and homework. Although we did not meet as a class in our Freshman year, we did take part in the spring concert and had E. Melzar and G. Porter represent us in the May Day Festi- val. This ended our Freshman year. We were now started on our way to the top. After our su mer vacation, we were all rested and anxious to return to school to take over our position as the Sophomore Class. Our first class meeting was held a few weeks after our return. This meeting proved to be a foru rather than a class meeting as there were many able and worthy candi- dates for the offices. After much discussion and many nominations, we finally chose the following to lead us during the year: Burtt Holmes, Presidentg Robert Swain, Vice Presi- dentg Frederick Bischoff, Treasurer: and Elizabeth Melzar, Secretary. In December, we held the 'Mistletoe Hop' which was entertaining as well as successful and proved to us that we were capable hosts and hostesses. In May, Geraldine Porter was chosen as our representative for the May Day Festival. This was the last one to be held during the remainder of our school career. We were happy to welcome Marjorie Johnston to our class. We now had reached the middle rung on the ladder which would lead us to the top. Our Junior Year was mixed with studies, ac- tivities, and sports. By now our boys were old enough to take an active part in foot- ball, baseball, and basketball. Without them the teams would have shown a decided deficiency. Our class officers were choosen early in the year and consisted of Frederick Bischoff, Presidentg Robert Swain, Vice Presidentg John Elia, Treasurerg and Elizabeth Melzar, Secreta1'Y' W0 BPP05-H1505 an executive committee which was to look into matters of interest to the class as a whole and report them to us. le also had several of our members appointed to the newly-formed Student Council. This Council was formed for the purpose of establishing cooperation and better understanding between the teachers and the student body. Our first dance in our Junior year was held in November and appropriately named the 'Turkey Hop.' This dance was very successful as was the 'June Send-Off' held on the last day of school in our Junior year. During this year, Earle Gates, William Hickey, and John Bourihan joined our ranks. In May, we joined with the Senior class and held the Junior-Senior Prom at the Reading Country Club the last of lay. This proved to be the gala social event of the year. A noticeable change had taken place during the short time that had elapsed be- tween June and that September day when we walked into our home rooms as Seniors. le realized that these were the last steps go- ward our goal. Our first Senior class meeting was held for the purpose of electing our class offi- cers for the last time. We chose Frederick Bischoff, Presidentg Burtt Holmes, Vice Presidentg Geraldine Porter, Secretaryg and Dorothy Oman, Treasurer. Gertrude Leverone joined us this year. After some controversy, we finally decided upon Purdy as our official photo- grapher, Dleges and Clust as our class Jeweler, and The University Cap and Gown COMpany as our class oostumer. We held our first dance in November in the form of a 'Poverty Dance.' This dgnce was enjoyed by all as they were able to come relax, and have fun, The football banquet was held at a local ballroom where the boys were awarded sweaters and silver footballs. The towns- people made a good showing at this banquet and made known their support is behind the local boys. In January, we held another dance called the 'January Freeze.' The 'Variety Dance' was held in March with special novel- ty dances and prizes to the lucky winners. The high light of the evening came when a sketch was put on by several of the Senior boys. They were dressed in evening gowns and burlap sacks, but still proved to be very entertaining actors. The Student Counc1l's publication 'The Oracle' was published for the first time during this year. The publication was under the supervision of the Senior members of the Student Council. This paper kept us informed of the latest social events, sports, and local chatter. We hope our successors carry on the good work and keep the publication alive. The 'Grande Finale' was held in April and was the last class dance for us, as well as,being one of the best dances of the year. Our prom was held at the Reading Country Club in May and was well attended by the Juniors, Seniors, and their partners. 1 This was the last get-together for us. We, the members of the class of nine- teen hundred forty-seven have reached that goal for which we have twelve untiring years. been striving for We have reached the top, and will never forget those twelve years because later we as the happiest of our new friends, taught us started us on the road will look upon them lives.

Signed, sealed, declared and published by the Class of 'L7 as our Last Will and Testament, we hereunto set our hand and seal. as PRIJFHESY There was one empty seat left and two of us were standing. The inevitable mad scramble followed and we both secured seats, at the expense of a frail, old lady, who stood gazing forlornly at the seat she had so recently occupied. As the woman beside me glared back, the old lady shifted her bundles and moved to the rear of the subway. A feeling of shame swept over me as a gentle- man offered her his seat. I turned to look at my worthy opponent and to my surprise, I found it was an old classmate--Gertrude Leverone. She had gained experience in hand-to-hand combat from passing in the corridors at W. H. S. After the proper greetings had been exchanged, we talked of old times. 'Will you ever forget the class re- union in l957?' asked Gert. 'Remember how Fred Lilley was thrown out for starting a riot? larjorie Johnston was doing a ball- room dance and Fred accidentally touched one of the balloons with a cigarette.' 'Whatever became of the rest of our elass?u I asked. nwell, Vincent Anomanisto is driving this subway. They told him that if he were to continue driving he must stay on the tracks. He'd be safer that way. nJames Welling is the country's top clarinet player. He has his own band which features Ted Wicks as the vocalist. He really sends them with the second chorus of Don't Wake Me In The Morning, Mother, 'Cause I Don't Want To See You Go To Work! No one can tell who is singing until Ted steps out from behind the microphone. nJohn Hourihan developed muscles, and is a physical instructor. Ronald Eaton works with him, posing as the body John will turn into a man's. 'Bob Bosteels is back in the navy. He's serving under Admiral Everett McQua1d in the Silver Lake Fleet. 'Dorothy Smith is looking after the household affairs while Norman Arbo and Charles Blake are in Turkey. Norman is a missionary and Charlie is at last satisfied, he owns a harem. He's keeping Ann Palmer busy though. Ann writes a love-lorn column and Charlie has every problem in the book. 'Remember Roberta Hillis and Chuck Hickey were dissatisfied with their graduation pictures? They opened their own studios and specialize in pictures of dis- satisfied customers. 'Richard Buck is really telling the teachers where to get off now--he's a bus driver. 'Kay murray and Jean Burbine are the editors of the magazine Banned. That's the women's answer to Esguire. 'Alice Rooney and Nancy Noble operate e beauty salon. Bernard Surrette is the hair specialist. These girls invented the famous Waffle Cosmetics, Csuccessor to Pan- cake Make-up.l 'Rufus Stevens, and Robert Swain share the coaching honors at the new Wilmington High School. 'Dr. Dorothy Oman and her cuts nurse, William Peters are giving Undertak rL1bby Melzar a flourishing business. 'Earle Gates and Mildred Waisnor are set for life. Earle achieved his ambition and built a suspension bridge over the Maple Meadow Brook. 'Robert Souls is a high pressure sales- man. He specializes in selling axes to beavers and shovels to gophers. 'You know Wilmington now nas a women's fire department, Cguaranteed to save the foundations? led by Charlotte Moore. Phyllis O'Leary has an important part--she's the little squirt that puts out the fires. At the last fire, Billy Finney had to be res- cued six times. N Of course you are going to the party tonight. Mary Bemis Kshe's the modern Elsa Maxwell! is the hostess. Ieuitenant-Gov- ernor Burtt Holmes and his stooge--I mean, Governor Fred Bischoff will be there. Muriel Martin, the world famous historian and author of 'Twelve Years at Hard Labor' or 'Why I Graduated in '47' is the guest of honor.' nI'm sorry,' I replied, 'but I don't think I can make it. Tell me, is Professor Joseph Gilligan still chasing asceped atoms with a butterfly net? I guess he studied chemistry a little too hard.' u I finally reached my stop. I bid ado to my former classmate and left her. As the subway roars away a feeling of pride surges over me, pride in the fact that I am, and was, a member of the wonderful class of '47, FREDDIE'S STGRE TEL.
