Within the pages of this, our yearbook, may we in future years find joyous moments as we look back to our high school days. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF OUR DECEASED CLASSMATES. To those of us who knew them as classmates, the recollection of them and their activities will remind us of James Hughson and Edward Dreano for years to come. We are humbled by the memory of them whom it was God's will to take before the sun had fully risen on their lives. Thus, we the class of 1948, with a deep humbleness dedicate in their honor, this our yearbook. awp, . rg ,, 2 ,,H,g,, A, 5' ' gfffQ'-132,22 ',ffMi .22?f+. , '14 V f .ff rf-Fifgffg I ' A ,. ,, f 3:7'f'4,, f,-1-1'-Pr'Qkisgg? fi ' ' 2254? 6 V kg 554 uf A gf 5 P- ,Q f ffnfff Mffkwf z I 5501 fuA5225:f'?151M2f32,2'f7f'f?l'f'5g'fi?11f?W-J1?,2'l233 QWLQ25 la' , '1,'4Q :ff,.

Spring, R. Goss, A. Spear, P. Gearty In the late summer of l947, the candidates for the football squad took the field under the direction of three capable coaches new to the town of Wilmington. As the season progressed through many hard afternoons of practice and scrim- mages, the team.formed into a well-spirited group of players. The well balanced team was now ready for its competitors. The season opened on September 27, 1947 with a game played with the Alumni. The spectators witnessed a scrappy High School team that day with great defensive work, holding the Alumni to 7 points. Final score--Alumni 7, Wilmington O. The following week Wilmington was visited by Burlington, and easily overpowered their first official foe to a tune of 19 to O. Then came our first real test of the year with Dracut. During the first half each team smashed back and forth holding their own, but in the second half a vastly improved Dracut team came back into the field, and when the dust had cleared away we were on the short end of a 15 to O decision. The following week we put Westford, Ayer and Keith Javees in the defeat col- umn. This gave Wilmington a total of 67 points against 18 for the Challengers in these three games. The final game of the year was that with Tewksbury which was played in the Tewksbury Stadium on November ll. In the first period Wilmington went out in front by scoring on a pass play. In the second period Tewksbury evened it up. However, the game ended with Wilmington on the short end of an 18 to 6 score. The season ended with Wilmington winning 4 games and losing 5.

Facing defeat many times, the high- spirited team never gave an inch without putting up a struggle. Each year many enthusiastic candi- dates go out for the basketball team. Although they all are potentially good players, they enter the field of compe- tition with two strikes on themg mainly the poor gym, and gym facilities. Although this shadow makes an appear- ance at every basketball game, the boys of Wilmington High still participate in the sport with the hope that some day there will be a proper place to train in, and carry them on to many victories. 2, 44.4 First Row: M.

Cain The girls basketball team, while putting their name in the win column more often than the boys, proved they had the stuff that makes good teams. Their only deficiency was the technique of making long shots, a play which would have turned many defeats into victories. In most tests, the girls were defeated by only the smallest margin, which turns victories into defeats. Although all the games were to be on the road, and not on a home court, the girls eagerly entered every game with the thought of victory, even though they were scored on before the starting whistle blew.

At the beginning of this year the whole Freshman class was, as always, very confused as to where to go, and on what side of the corridor to walk. It is a very grave state of WG Kffggi affairs when a Freshman gets up each morning and can look forward to three more glorious years of homework, tests, essays, compositions and Book Reports. After we leave, don't feel lonesome because the very capable Juniors will carry on, and the Class of l948 are sure that they will lead you correctly in every phase of school work.

H Mei VALHJIUUHY THE REMARKABLE ARTIST Leonardo da Vinci was first and last a born artist, and he far excelled any other man in his particular field. But how many people realize that this painter was also a genius in many other fields, and that he had a stranqe and fascinating personality? Da Vinci was born in 1452 in a village near Vinci, about sixty miles from Florence. While still very young, he studied arithmetic for just a few months and progressed so far that he excelled his tutor. His artistic talents were already asserting themselves, and at thirteen he was apprenticed to an artist named Andrea. The pupil again showed his genius by painting a figure so well that Andrea vowed never again to touch colors, saying that a mere child could do better than he. By this time the Duke of Milan took a special interest in the younq man and had him do an altar picture of the Nativity which was sent to the Emperor. His next major work was the famed Last Supper , and even though it was unfinished because of the artist's fickle disposition and search for perfection, it remains today an outstanding masterpiece. The French king liked this picture and became a personal friend of the artist, not only be- cause of his talents, but also because of his unusal personality. While the painter was in his fifties he did a portrait of Mona Lisa for her hus- band, Francesco del Giocondo. He used dif- ferent models for the head, torso, and hands which are the most beautifully drawn hands in Italian art. This work is considered one of the most realistic ever done, mainly be- cause of the painstaking and exact detail. As has been hinted before, he had a strange personality. 'He loved to play prac- tical jokes by inventing such things as a walking lion to frighten his friends., Some- times, while out for a stroll, he would see a person whose ugly and distorted features fascinated him, and would often follow him for days, then return home to draw the figure. Another strange trait was his method of making notes on drawings by writing left handed and backwards, so that they cannot be read with- out much practice and the aid of a mirror. His search for perfection caused him to leave many paintings, statues, and inventions un- finished, and that is why we have today so comparatively few of his works, especially when we consider that he lived about seventy- five years. bln spite of these peculiarities, everyone admired him at once because of his warm smile and pleasing manner. He was not merely an artist, but proved himself a genius in many ways. He was a sculp- tor, the best reciter of improvised rhymes of his day, an hydrographer, a seometrician, master of optics, the first to illustrate the science of medicine, an inventor of ballistic machines, and the designer of an airplane. He is also considered the founder of engineer- ing and the study of geology. Recently Italian engineers constructed over two hundred working models of his inventions. All this proves that he was indeed a man blessed with many talents and that he worked unselfishly to put them to use for others. Tonight we are finished--and yet beginning. We are finished with either all or a part of our formal education, but we are beginning an entirely new life with new problems. As we say goodbye to you, and to each other, we shall bear in mind the priceless help that you have given us and sincerely hope that we will fulfill your expectations and prove ourselves worthy. . Virginia Hood SXXLUTURY Parents of the graduating class, mem- bers of the school committee, Mr. Bean, Mr. Hood, and honored guests, we welcome you here tonight to enjoy with us this happy event. For many of us, our twelve years of schooling seemed like an eternity, but now that the time has come for us to leave, we are happy, yet sad. We have tried to make this graduation worthy of your endless help and an event for us, The Class of '48, to remember always. OUR HERITAGE--FREEDOM Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Amendment I of the Consti- tution. The early colonists, who came to this country to escape persecution, endured in this wild new land numerous hardships, they struggled endlessly against nature even to survive. But amidst this confusion and un- certainty, one thought burned through their minds. They as free men had certain indis- putable rights which they would allOW H0 OHS to infringe upon. As England demanded UIOPG and more in taxes from her long suffering subjects, they decided to free themselves forever from such tyranny. Brave and valiant were these men who faced a stronger and better equipped British army, and who won the final victory. The Revolutionary War was fought not to tear down a form of government, but rather to build up a new and free form--a democracy, a government in which the state serves the people. Through long experience, the fathers of our constitution gave to us the greatest document in this history of the world. It is in the Bill of Rights or the first ten amendments that we find stated our freedoms as individuals and as organizations. Probably the most important to us is our freedom of speech. Many people even today do not realize the meaning of it. After World War Il, all of us must remember what a life can be without freedom of speech. What does freedom of speech really mean? To me it means the right of all people to think and say without fear what they believe to be true. It means the right to criticize our government, its officials and its poli- cies as we see fit. It means the right to free discussion of all controversial issues-- both political and otherwise. Who should know better than we, the citizens of the United States, what freedom of speech means? Through our free press, the citizens of this country are able to see all sides of a question. Numerous magazines and periodicals the voice of the public, have a very direct effect on the actions of their readers. Freedom of this nature is hard to control, for in a democracy, freedom is guaranteed to all--with certain limitations. Too much democracy can be just as bad, if not worse, than too little. Our right to criticize our friends, our neighbors, and our govern- ment is given us not to hurt them but rather to help. We are given the right to express our opinions about the things which we be- lieve in. It is our duty to know right from wrong. We must know how to protect our gov- ernment and our freedom from the harmful propaganda of other nations. No one person alone can guarantee us our freedom. Each of us, as individuals, must constantly be on the alert for any threats to our democratic way of life. The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to escape religious persecution. Religion which is so near to everyone, plays an im- portant part in every life. Here, the per- secuted of all nations gather. Our freedom i of worship has made our nation great. A country without religion easily falls prey to dictatorship or other undesirable forms of government. When we think of freedom of religion, we usually think of it as meaning freedom for our own particular religion. This is a misconceived idea, for every re- ligion should be offered equal freedom. As men differ from each other, so do religions. We must be tolerant. We must try to under- stand the other point of view, and not fight against it. The animosity which arises among people of different races, nations, and re- ligions, must be stamped out if we are to realize the most from our freedom--in happi- ness, understanding, and goodwill. We, the youth of today, are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. The liberties available to us now will be of no benefit to us later in life if we do not protect them and use them correctly. During our twelve years at school, we have been taught the principles of freedom and their workings. We are now about to face the world and soon will take an active part in our government. Since we have been taught lessons in demo- cracy and humanity, we must live by them and strive to become true American. In the world of tomorrow, all men must learn how to use the advantages of freedom, to insure peace and goodwill. In closing, I would like to quote from a textbook entitled, HThe Way of Democracyu which so adequately summarizes the value of our freedoms: uWe have received all our liberties from those who worked for them in the past. Shall we be able to keep them for ourselves and then pass'them on to those who follow us? That is the challenge of democracy.n May we, the youth of today, carry on that challenge, through the wise use of our freedoms! Ruth Holden E 5 GN WHAT CONSTITUTES REAL SUCCESS? What is success? Many people have asked this question hoping to find some definite answer, but the word success has no exact def- inition. Let us ask three questions to see if we can determine just what success is. Is success the accumulation of wealth? No, for Helen Keller was one of the most successful women who ever lived, yet rather than receiving money for her work, she gave money to it. When she was two years old she became blind and deaf from the effects of a serious illness, but she used her senses which were not impaired and her hands to do the things she wanted to do. She never gave in to her affliction, but kept on working to do the work she knew needed to be done. She was successful because she did the best she could with what little she had. Is success power? No, for we find that during the Second World War, Hitler had millions of men ready to jump at his slightest command. Probably there has never been in the history of the world a man who has had as much power as he and yet his life could hardly be called successful. Is success fame? We can look to Holly- wood for the answer to this question. There are many famous people here who have been very successful in their careers, but in many cases have been unhappy in their private lives. They are not satisfied with their lives and therefore are not successful. We find then, that we are making a mis- take when we measure success in terms of dol- lars, votes, or public acclaim. When we SSG a person who is rich, powerful, or famous we jump to the conclusion that he is successful, yet this judgment is only guessing on our part because the only person who can judge success is the person who possesses it. Only we'ourselves know when we have done the best job we know how to do. The most powerful millionaire would consider himself unseccess- ful if he regretted his failure to become a great pianist. He is not wholly satisfied with his life because he has-failed to achieve his biggest ambition in life. When we study the life of Abraham Lincoln we find that he did the best he could with what he had. As the son of a backwoodsman he did not have a chance to get much formal education, yet he became one of the most influential men our country has ever produced. Through his thoughtfulness and consideration he won the respect and admiration of all who knew him. He practiced the Golden Rule and lived as he believed God wished him to live. He did the best job he knew how to do in every task he undertook. He brought our country success- fully through one of the greatest crises in its history, by doing what he believed was for the good of everyone. He will always be remembered as a simple and humble man who did the very best he could for his country. His life was successful. We have found then that success can be found in the qualities that are present in everyone's life. We all have dreams and am- bitions in our lives, and we should work to the utmost to fulfill these desires. When we have done our best to achieve them we can say, nWe are successful, as we have done our utmost to achieve our purpose in life.H It doesn't matter how humble our job is, as long as we become the best of whatever we are. When we have done that, we can call ourselves successful. Catherine Jaquith CLASS HIETURY As we roll back the pages of the past, we, the Class of 1948, bring back fond memories of our high school days. Starting the activities in April of our Freshmen year, we began activities by selling Curtis magazines and winning prizes in return. The following month, the school held two exciting events to which we looked forward with eagerness and anticipation. The first incident, the annual high school concert, was held at the Grange Hall with many of us participating. The second event, the May Day Festival, was the more exciting of the two. Joan Preston was the May Queen attendant from our class. We wished we could have held our own dances during this year, but enjoyed the others just as much. Theresa Ryan joined us this year. This ended our Freshmen year with a good start to the top. After our summer vacation, we were ready to return to school and to begin our Sopho- more year. Meeting for the first time as a class, we elected officers to represent us through the year. They were as follows: President, Charles Sullivang Vice President, James Tarriconeg Secretary, Joan Prestong and Treasurer, Marjorie Wood. Mrs. Webber was our class adviser. The first football banquet was held at the Grange Hall. The boys received letters and silver footballs. The Senior girls of the basketball team also received silver basketballs. In December, we were hosts and host- esses to the Christmas dance called HThe Jingle bell Hop.n It was the best dance of the year and of course, we were thrilled by it. The Student Council was organized this year with Catherine Jaquith, Virginia Hood, William Buck, and James Tarricone as rep- resentatives from our class. Miss Farello was the adviser for this much needed organ- ization. To the advantage of the students, a Moving Picture Camera was purchased by the Student Council. Al Fullford joined us this year. We entered our Junior year, and were ,now upper classmen. Our class adviser was Miss Farello. Our class officers were chosen at the beginning of the year and were as follows: President, James Tarriconeg Vice President, Beatrice Weatherbeeg Sec- retary, Catherine Jaquithg and Treasurer, Theresa Ryan. Our members to the Student Council were: Vice President, Karl Wood- mang Lois Pilcherg Paul Mooneyg William Buckg and Daniel Bull. Doris Buck joined us this year. The nOraclen, the high school paper, was started this year under the direction of the Student Council. This was one way of getting news around fast! It contained all the latest gossip, sports, and other items of interest. We had three class dances, each of which was enjoyed by all students. The annual high school concert was given in May under the supervision of Miss Olive Littlehale. A good performance was given by all members. The second high school banquet was held at the Blue Terrace Ballroom. The boys received letters and sweaters. Many attended this affair which finished the football season. We joined with the Senior class and held the Junior-Senior Prom at the Meadow- brook Country Club in Reading. This dance proved to be a great success as in past years, and also the main event of the year. Our Senior year, the best and most ex- citing of all four years, was under the direction of Miss Marland. Class officers were elected as follows: President, James Tarriconeg Vice President, William Buck, Secretary, Catherine Jaquithg and Treasurer, Karl Woodman. Representatives to the Student Council were: President, William Buckg Sec- retary, Theresa Ryang Treasurer, Marjorie Woody Catherine Jaquithg Mary Wicksg and James Tarricone. We were happy to welcome Vincent Kane to our class. The addition of four new men teachers made quite a change in the high school pro- gram. They were: Mr. DeTeso, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Ambrose, and Mr. Donovan. For the first time in thirty-four years, there were three coaches to help improve the sports' program. They were as follows: Head Coach, Mr. DeTeso3 Assistant Coaches, Mr. Ambrose, and Mr. Donovan H After having representatives from several studios, it was voted to'have Sargent Studios as our class photographer. Dieges and Clust 'and The University Cap and Gown Company were voted as our class jeweler and class costumer. The Camera Club, now in its second year, with Mr. Donovan as adviser, held a Winter Carnival which lasted one week. Many sports were enjoyed by high school students. The final event of the Winter Carnival was a semi-formal ball held at the Silver Lake Betterment Hall. Those who took part from the Senior class were as follows: Queen, Catherine Jaquithg King, Fred Johnstong Attendants, Patricia Tigheg Doris Bucky William Hughsong and William Buck. The Dramatic Club, under the leader- ship of Miss Marland, was organized this year electing the following Senior girls as officers: President, Nancy Odiorneg Vice President, Catherine Jaquithg Secretary, Doris Bucky and Treasurer, Barbara Moore. The third football banquet of Wilmington High School was held at a local ballroom with the Seniors receiving jackets and silver foot- balls. The rest of the squad received letters. The cheerleaders also received letters. The coaches were presented with gifts given them by the football squad. We held our Senior-Junior Prom at Wake- field Boat House in Wakefield on May 21, 1948. This was the gala event of the year. We, the Seniors of the Class of '48, have succeeded in climbing the ladder to the top, where we wish the Class of '49 the best To Grace Arvidson--Some breakfast food so that she can get where shets going much quicker.

Gertrude White EU-X55 PRUPHEEY At a recent class reunion, that of 1968, I arrived promptly so that I could get a first impression of the new high school. Ah, yes, we finally have it. Another early bird turned out to be none other than Vir- ginia Hood, now home economics teacher in this very building. As we were talking, she mentioned that Dr. William Buck and his nurses, Mary Bedell and Claire Bishop would be unable to attend because of a milk truck crash. 'Inquiring as to who was in- jured, I found the driver to be Les McLaugh- lin. Virginia and I continued to reminise when a group of happily married matrons ascended the banquet hall on the excalator. They seemed to be discussing everything from the servant problem to kindergartens. I immediately recognized Mrs. Sonney Foley, nee Mary Smith, Mrs. Burtt Holmes, nee Nancy Odiorne, and Mrs. Clesant Downs, nee Doris Richards. With them were the former Ann Fleming and Lois Pilcher, Ctogether as usuall now married and living in the new Silver Lake settlement. Ann told me that these houses were built by the well-known carpenters, Vincent Kane and Don Blaisedell. This section of Wilmington is policed by Ray Carter who does his work in his helicopter. Hearing a familiar voice, I turned and greeted Norma LaCreta, executive secretary to Jimmy Tarricone, editor of the Wilming- ton Bugle. Other efficient stenographers for the Bugle are Mary Wicks and Bea Weatherbee. HThe messengers,H Norma said, Hare Karl Woodman and Ronald Clements, and the gossip editor, Pat Tighe.H At that moment I heard a screech, and there was Gertrude White eagarly greeting old friends. Gertrude is a cartoonist for the USaturday Evening Post.H I learned that Carlton Grant and Dick Day own their own automatic gas station, and Charlie Sullivan has an ultra-modern used-car lot. The banquet was held at seven and who should be sitting at the same table with me but Professor Ruth Holden, sole female professor at M. I. T. She tOld me that her friend Charlotte Cutter is a hair- dresser for Broadway stars and has in- troduced a new, novel hair-do in which the entire face is covered. Sounds good! Speeches began after the enjoyable meal and the first speaker for the evening was Wilbur Thomas. His topic was nThe Education of Our Children.u Seems that Wilbur is married and bursting with pride over his little daughter. Letters of regret were read from Marjorie Wood and Catherine Jacquith who are managing their winter hotel in Florida. A letter from Al Fulford explained that he now has a harem on a South Sea island and he just couldn't get away. Same old Al I see. Two other letters from the former Margery Bedell and the former Doris Buck were read. Unfortunately they couldn't attend as their little boys have succumbed to the measles epidemic. Next came the all-star entertainment. Betty Fairweather was there with her all girl orchastra. Her brother, Alex, gave an excellent demonstration on the drums. I understand he has taken over Gene Krupa's orchastra. An interesting cowboy act was introduced and I was not at all surprised to see Slim Humphrey come onto the stage. At the conclusion of the entertain- ment, I continued my search of classmates and pounced upon four old friends, Ethel Cain, Dorothy Froton, Joan Preston, and Barbara Moore. They are running a dress shop in New York but managed to leave it for a few days. Barbara told me that she is engaged to a carpenter, something I was not surprised to hear. I asked if they had seen anyone else whom I neglected to include in my report for the Bugle and they pointed out a few classmates for me. nThanks,n I said enthusiastically, Il I have just about given up counting noses. This is almost as hard as writing the class prophecy way back in high school.n Just then Bobby Woods and Paul Mooney, who have been selling refrigerators to the Eskimos, dashed up and shook hands. They asked if I had heard of Taylor's Restaurant in Maine, but I regretfully told them I hadn't. NThe waitresses are the Boylen sisters,n they went on, Hand the chef is Charles walsh.H Bobby Woods said that his wife, Claire does the accounting for the establishment so Bob Taylor has it pretty easy. Brimming with gossip, Bobby told me that Jack Foye and Ray York are at present unemployed, and that Norm Sharp and Billy Hughson own the North Reading to Wilmington bus line. nEddie Irwin and Danny Bull are executives for the Texas Engineering Com- !! B ll pany, obby said. Their secretaries are Elinor Burns and Shirley Wilkish.W Paul, trying to get a word in, asked if I had seen Terry Ryan and Evelyn McDonough. When I exclaimed I hadn't, he told me they owned a Beauty Salon guaranteed to make you appeal ing, attractive, and alluring. Feeling that I had quizzed these two fellows long enough, I left them to continue my browzing. Kay Dalaimo came up to talk with me. It seems that she writes a love- lorn column and Beatrice Doucette has every problem in the book. fChanged her policy I see.J Kay told me that Grace Arvidson is running a soda fountain in California. nBetty Lienhard married an Austrian count and is living abroad,n Kay said. I asked Kay if she had heard from Darlene Moreau and she told me that she married her sailor and is living in France. W Dick Goss is living in Tewksbury, he told me, and is in business with his father- in-law as a barber. I saw a handsome Marine pass and was not surprised to see that it was Gunner Garland. Gunner couldn't stop to talk because he was hurrying to a basket- ball game in which Tex Johnston was an out- standing player for the Celtics. My duties now being over, land it was the most enjoyable evening in twenty yearsl I went home after leaving my report at the Bugle to be published.
