We have tried, in small measure, to make this book a reflection of Mr. Thompson ' s goodness and greatness. We have attempted to bring out in these pages what he meant to those of us who were with him for three years. We soon discovered that we could look upon him as a friend and go to him for advice in our smallest troubles ; and as the months passed, along with our admiration and respect grew our affection. We cherish now, memories of all the times he stopped to speak with us, of his brief talks in assemblies and of his comments at class meetings. From his life we have learned the great lesson of seeing everything in its true perspective. It was this quality that made him understand us so well, join so wholeheartedly in our pleasures and appreciate our attempts to please him. It was the realization of this quality which made us plan from the beginning to surprise him on our banquet night by dedicating our year book to him. He would have wanted us to continue as we began, under his guidance, to make this book one of which our classmates could be proud ; and we hope that somewhere he is proud of it too. The Editors ADMINISTRATION mm Our Late Principal, Leighton S. Thompson Our Present Principal, Charles Hayden Dean of Girls, Ruth Gow FACULTY First row, lejt to right — Mrs. Riley, Miss Coughlin, Miss Gow, Mr. Hayden, Mr. Gormley, Miss McGonagle, Miss Ryan. Second row — Miss Elliot, Miss James, Miss Metcalf, Miss McCormack, Miss Johngren, Miss O ' Sullivan, Miss Hubbard, Mrs. Cook. Third row — Mr. Butler, Mr. Learnard, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lugton, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Klugh, Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Kenefick, Prof. Dethier. Every week, it seemed, brought another teacher back into the fold. As we saw how quickly these returned servicemen fitted into the picture, we realized for the first time the enormous task it must have been to keep the school running with its war time personnel. Our hats go off to our teachers who fought this battle of education on the home front, — as well as to those who served more directly. Class Advisors Lejt to right — Miss Metcalf, Miss Coughlin, Mr. Dunn, Miss Johngren, Chairman; Miss McCormack, Mr. Butler. Offi ce This candid was taken during one of the pauses in the busy life of the office. The bench along the wall was usually well filled with offenders waiting to speak with Mr. Hayden; Jean was almost always answering someone ' s complaint about a lost pen or glasses case, while Mr. Thompson planned affairs of state with class presidents, student council officers and year book editors. The hallmark of the office has always been its friendly efficiency. Comes the spine- chilling summons, then a rubber-like feeling in the knees, the all too short walk along the corridor or down the stairs. Soon a message arrives, — Your mother is sending a taxi because of the storm, or, You have a dentist appointment at t ' hree o ' clock, or just possibly, We ' ve had a rather disturbing report about you . . . We will always remember our encounters with the office force, whether for praise or censure, with real nostalgia, for they played such a definite part in our life at Norwood High. SEPTEMBER, 1943 History of Our Sophomore Year When we climbed the hill for the first time in September 1943, repeating to our- selves our official title class of 46, that year and our graduation seemed very distant to us. Then we started taking our first faltering steps and we soon learned that we were not only referred to, but definitely treated as dumb sophomores. We had our bumps, were sent in wrong directions, went treading up or down forbidden stairways, wound up in the wrong line for the hot dish, patiently waited for a word of dismissal but soon discovered that the signal for making our instant exit was the sound of the bell. Grad- ually our steps were becoming firm and we began to speak of Norwood High in a familiar tone. Then the football season arrived and for the first time we felt that same fervor in our hearts that we used to wonder at when we saw our parental and fraternal faithful- ness in attending the game that the gobbler annually announced. We were proud of our team that year and now we noticed that even the upperclassmen occasionally favored us with smiles, particularly the fairer of our fair set. Then came our class election and our big chance to show that the class of ' 46 in ' 43 was worthy of much note. Tom Frates and Peter Long were teamed up as presi- dent and vice, respectively, and what a handsome pair they made! We decided that Betty Ann Butters could perform the duties of a secretary as charmingly as she charmed all her classmates and upperclassmen as well. Then to prove again that beauty and personality can be combined with brains, we elected Faith Coakley as girl ' s treasurer. For boy ' s treasurer Ned Hills took over the purse strings; and to keep us in high spirits, Catherine Condon became our Athletic Association representative. Our first social function was our Sophomore party, at which everyone had an A-l time. Along with dancing we had games, and the leading personalities of the talented entertaining faction of our class thrilled us all. Then we settled back into the old winter routine of bisecting frogs, delving into the ages of the past, vainly struggling to follow Caesar ' s Baltic campaigns, or whatever other pursuits of knowledge our worthy peda- gogues felt it their duty to lead us into. While weeping with Lennie Sansone over the death of Fagan, we couldn ' t help roaring over Roger Woodworth ' s antics in Mrs. Riley ' s French I class. Then farewell to the Seniors; and our heels, for the last time, kicked up Sophomore dust. History of Our Junior Year Now we ' re back, not as Sophs and not as Seniors, just in-between, supposedly-not- amounting-to-anything-Juniors. Tom Frates became top man again with his line officers, Ed Mike — Vice, Wendell Davis — Boy ' s Treasurer, Pat Ennis — Secretary, Faith Coakley — Girl ' s Treasurer and Catherine Condon — A. A. representative. After noting, oh so carefully, our lab-partners, the smart or otherwise buddy beside us and the foreshadowing tone in our teacher ' s voice, we looked forward to a jolie annee. Then promptly forgetting almost all else, we put our whole heart and soul into our wild cheers for our pigskin fighters; wild cheers that were led not only by the cheer- leaders but also the enthusiastic, all-present Senior section. This was not a very successful season but every game was packed to the brim with excitement. The Student Council, right on the ball as usual, held the annual football dance with Francis Pinky Pink as Master of Ceremonies. Speaking of this estimable organization, who could forget the Student Council meetings with Rog Woodworth presiding? Knowing Rog, no more need be said. On February 1.6, we had our famous Junior party; famous because of the seeming absence of those precious good fates, whose tardiness caused a wicked snowstorm, which piled the drifts up to our hips, which kept away our refreshments, and which prevented half our entertainers from showing up, but which did give the few brave souls that attended, a super-swell time. All this time we had been plodding along surely and patiently (or was it so patiently, Tommy, when you won the distinction of creating the first chemistry explosion in our class?), making sure of our history lesson, regard- less, — particularly if you were one of Mr. Kenefick ' s favorites, and vaguely wondering what a French resumee was, and making eyes at Darby Greaney in Vergil class. All was very peaceful and pleasant until we created a little misunderstood commotion when we introduced Mona Lizard and her friends in an honest, well-meant attempt to have a successful Junior Prom. Then we made history in a certain class meeting on a certain pressing issue. It became the case of moonlight and roses versus our despairing finan- cial status. Our class decided to substitute a dance for a Junior Prom so as to make more money. The dance was a great success and after giving the Senior ' s Class day, we pulled the curtain down on our Junior days in High School History of Our Senior Year Our Senior year had all the glory, glam- our, fun and frolic that we had all been dreaming about since our infant sophomore days. Yes, we, too, felt that special Senior thrill when the lower classmen stood up for us ; we, too, put on Senior airs when per- forming our traffic duties, and we, too, showed our Senior rating when the rest of the school carried the burden of the tradi- tious Senior Day. Our Senior elections resulted in entrusting the functioning of the class into the competent hands of Bob McLean as President, Arthur Parquette — Vice President, Catherine Condon — Secretary, Nancy Brock — Girl ' s Treasurer, and Miriam Ristom and John Breen A. A. representatives. This year our football team didn ' t fare so well, but we were proud of our co- captains, team and winsome cheerleaders. Before the turkey season was over we ran a football dance, unique in the special feature of crowning Nancy Brock, Victory Queen. This coronation was a result of our election conducted to increase the sale of victory stamps and bonds and the purchaser was entitled to a vote. Wopposn ' t thoppo sop- pienoppor ploppay woppnoppoderfoppol? Though the talented actors and actresses drove us crazy gibbering in this foreign vernacular, they really made Growing Pains a smashing hit. Soon after, though, the corridors came back to their normalcy, save for a group coming along, chanting, Is this a dagger I see before me? or a gay lass flitting by with a special someone ' s necktie binding in her locks ; and I could go on but I find there are many more things to record. Around this time we began to feel the influence of a new- comer to us, but in reality a former faculty member, who had been on military leave of absence along with quite a few other members. This man was Mr. Charles Hayden who, along with his sub-master ' s duties, made over our traffic squad into a true military unit, and soon the whole school began to wonder just how we got along without this swell, regular guy In our first class meeting after the Christmas vacation, Mr. Thompson drove the point right into our hearts when he solemnly stated that, since we had entered high school, we had been calling ourselves the class of ' 46 and now at last that year had come. Soon after, a glee club was started under the able directorship of our Prof. This soon became the grand chorus of our Senior Sensations. This was a pathetic period in our scholastic record because we were getting a terrific run-around, being tossed back and forth between well-meaning substitutes. But of course we didn ' t mind the last one for Miss James, except for the fact that that handsome, six-foot brother of Miss Mc- Cormack didn ' t come sooner so as to have stayed longer. Our hockey team this season had quite a dismal career, but they went down fighting. Many cheers go to Mr. John Kiley who with his hands in his pockets, striding up and down in front of Joe Conti and his basketball team, coached them in quite a successful season. Who are you going with? Where are you going afterwards? These echoes, sure signs that a Prom was coming up, resounded through the corridors and our Senior Prom became one which will long be remembered. Then gloom, desolate gloom, enveloped our hearts for our beloved Mr. Thompson, after a short illness, died March 10. We loved this fine, wonderful man and principal and we dare to hope that he loved us, too, as he did all classes before us. So now as our Senior year approaches its close and we view our high school life with its varied experiences and emotions, we feel that we have had a good class. Maybe we didn ' t make a great impression on the Norwood High School, but by just working and playing together we made a lasting impression on each individual ' 46 class member. Above all else, we are proud and thankful that we knew, had fellowship with, and followed under the leadership of Leighton S. Thompson.

BEAUTY CULTURE The fundamental principle 0 Beauty Culture is cleanliness, and cleanliness is the main feature of our own salon. The girls in this course have wonderful times work- ing out new hair styles on each other; but in the two-year course, they become skilled operators, ready to try for their state licenses. DRESSMAKING DEPARTMENT Most teen-age girls enjoy work- ing in the Dressmaking Depart- ment. In many instances, after a year or so in this course, the girl has become a skilled dressmaker and can make her own clothing. Nickels and dimes which, as a rule, would have to be spent on clothing no longer need to be s queezed out of the budget to provide fun and frolic.

Stimson Junior High School Gymnasium Friday Evening, December 14, 1945 at 8:00 p. m.

Faith Coakley Boys and Girls: Shirley Holmes, John Hawley, Betty Butters, Anthony Paul, Joan Bailey, Harry Korslund Everybody had been eagerly waiting for the notice an- nouncing the senior play tryouts, and when it came, fifty young hopefuls appeared in the school library, ready to shower the coach, Mrs. Frederick Stimson, with their Cornell per- sonalities. That was the beginning of those frolicsome re- hearsals, with seniors busting out of windows, munching soybean crackers and finger nails and exchanging lipsticks with admirers on the front steps via the pulley system. Previous to each practise session, the atmosphere was charged with expectancy, and excitement mounted as George and his sister, Terry , argued and fought with cat-and-dog intensity, to the consternation and dismay of their parents. Who will forget the first time Mrs. Maclntyre and Mrs. Patterson rehearsed their doting mother speeches, with the offspring sniffling and making cracks on the side! The big scene between Dutch and Prudence was always approached with a noticeable hush from the other- wise riotous cast, and its continual and earnest rehearsal was a constant source of interest and entertainment. Each and every character in each and every role, from the lead down to Skippy Garner, was carefully cast and pain- stakingly coached; and incidentally, the presence of Skippy was more than appreciated because of the chocolate chips used to tempt her to act. (Funny what you ' ll eat when you ' re hungry!) During the week of dress rehearsal, homework was cast aside in the mad scramble to acquire the bel air ; the scenery committee splashed madly with the paint brush, and the prop committee conducted a treasure hunt for torn sheets, punch bowls and fir trees. Slowly the fourteenth of December crept up on us and at last we breathlessly watched the curtain rise on the first act of Growing Pains. Phyllis Crowley f! i ,3? tfe irm ' ' niTT i - Senior Satellites A second show was put on in May by our talented Senior Class. This time, it was a musical production, the theme of which dealt with the travels of a group of Yankees through the Sunny South. A well trained chorus of over 70 Seniors plus 25 other Senior actors and actresses made up the color- ful and entertaining cast. The first half depicted the Northerners waiting for the Train to Come In and took them down to study the ways of the Negro. The Black Folk were preparing for the Min- strel Show which was to take place on the coming night. Then, after intermission, in which candy was sold to our eager spectators, the Great Show came to town. The usually bash- ful boys of our class were right there on the stage pitching in with their jokes and songs and having a wonderful time; while behind the scenes, the various hard-working committees tip-toed back and forth checking to see that everything went off according to schedule. With the last fading strains of Strolling With Ma Honey, Stormy Weather, Old Folks at Home, Halle- luiah, and many others, the curtain descended on Good Night, White Folks, The Minstrel Show is Done.

Standing — John Connolly, William Wragg, Frank Paul, John Erickson, Joseph Usdawinis, Joseph Grasso, Francis Pink, John Riley, Mary Boulis, Ralph Hansen, Virginia Nuttall, John Coughlin. This year the Student Council, training ground for future orators, fillerbusterers, politicians, and, we hope, intelligent voters, began a term of achievement under the leadership of: President, Francis Pink; Vice-President, Bernard Sykes; Recording Secretary, Jean Sansone; Corresponding Secretary, Jane Adelmann; Treasurer, Faith Coakley. To Mrs. Riley was presented the job of Faculty Advisor The year started off with a financial bang, when we helped the Athletic Association out of debt with enthusiasm and determination. A committee turned out six startling football programs, progressing from medium horrible (set by hand) to stupendous (a twelve page Thanksgiving souvenir program). The committee for this project, which was carried on every day from 2:30 to 6:00 in the printing room of the Junior High, will remember with pleasure, the hilarious incidents that occurred at regular intervals. A sigh of relief was heard when November rolled around and the last issue was a tremendous success. Proud of a good job well done, the committee gave one hundred dollars to the A. A. fund, while fifty dollars went towards inflating the Student Council pocketbook. About this time, the United States Treasury was bringing its final Victory Loan to a climax, and the Student Council, in order to keep in step, ran one of the biggest money-making events the High School has ever seen. With a ten cent stamp serving as one vote, the student body elected a Victory Queen who was crowned on the evening of the annual football danee. The victory stamp proceeds went into the coffers of the United States Treasury, while the Student Council found plenty of use for the cash profits. For example, a camera was bought to be used by future classes in the compila- tion of their year book. T I OT • 19 46 The Alumni Association, which at the end of last year was still in the mythical stage, was put into the hands of a hard working committee. Immediately great plans were made, which were almost as quickly voted down by the more practical of the group. What did emerge from the chaos was an alumni assembly, the first of its kind, and a real live organization. To keep alive the memory of a grand year, the entire council bought Student Council pins, another first for ' 46. To keep alive a tradition that was started in ' 45, a Norwood Night at the Pops was again successfully held. At the suggestion of Mr. Hayden, the council voted to have a portrait of Mr. Thompson painted, with the recommendation that in future years, future Student Councils will have portraits made of any headmasters that hold the position for a period of five years or longer. In memory of Mr. Thompson, the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars was appropriated to be used in some way beneficial to the school. A Student Council can only be a success if the attitude of teachers and students is one of co-operation. Here at Norwood High School, faculty and pupil co-operation is one hundred percent. Particular thanks go to Mrs. Riley, Faculty Advisor, for her invaluable advice and assistance. Just in time to make our final deadline, we discover that Ben Sykes, our Vice- President, has been elected Vice-President of the Eastern Assembly of Student Councils. Ben always times things right. Congratulations and good wishes for a successful term. President Pink crowns Nancy Brock Victory Queen, on the night of the Football Dance. Traffic Squad Lejt to right, rear row — Giampietro, Hansen, Mike, Dolaher, Flaherty, Mahoney, McCall, Shaw, Garner, Flaherty, Grady, Paul, Paquette, Jordano. Second row — Murray, Condon, Erickson, Praino, Michienzi, Patterson, Deeb, Brock, Parsons, Coughlin, Burns, Coakley, Sansone, Carchedi. First row — Ristom, Adelmann, Lt,; McLean, Lt.; Nuttall, Lt.; Pink, Captain; Ross, Lt.; Breen, Lt.; Spencer, Gullich. This year, as has been the custom for the past two years, the traffic squad began its term of service under the control of the student council, and, because of the teacher shortage, with very little adult supervision. Many healthful and educational, as well as lucrative talents were developed by the members of the squad, — pitching pennies in the stair wells, tap dancing in the upstairs corridor, swinging from the door frames, practicing cheers, etc., etc. With the return of Mr. Hayden, the traffic squads ' pre-war director, all these activities came to a sudden end, — a new regime had begun. The group was expanded both in number and in duties, and with the added responsibility came an increase in efficiency. The direct control of the squad was given to an executive board composed of the following: captain, Francis Pink; lieutenants, Betsy Ross, Robert McLean, Jane Adel- mann, John Breen and Virginia Nuttall. The school was divided into five zones, with each lieutenant in charge of a zone and responsible to the captain, who, in turn, was responsible to Mr. Hayden. The system worked very well, and there are none in the group who do not appre- ciate the fact that the improvement resulting from the exchange of their early, unorthodox pleasures for the more circumspect conduct of recent months was a valuable one; that a job well done was worth the sacrifice involved, and that the return of Mr. Hayden marked the beginning of a very pleasant part of their senior year.

Junior-ltis We were first afflicted with Junior-itis one fine September day when we found our- selves gazing up at the seniors and down upon the sophomores — in other words, Mr.- in-between. Now, oh happy day, we could pin the label sophs on someone else. While the seniors wallowed in their new-found glory we decided to follow prece- dent and adopt a few babies. We looked the new herd over to appraise the value of the stock, and then pounced upon the po ' li ' l unsuspectin ' lambs (in you know what kind of clothing) before the mighty seniors had time to pull their heads from the clouds. As patron saints we did — not bad, n ' est-ce pas? On the side we managed to tuck in a little book-learning. O tempora, O mores! ( O, the times, O what a state of affairs! ) rang out from budding Ciceros, French verbs were lined up in combat formation as we prepared to fight a losing battle, and from Spanish class the strains of La Paloma wafted a romantic spirit into Miss Elliott ' s history class. We devoted ourselves to figures in Geometry — those not authorized by Mr. Dunn. We discovered the reasons for positive and negative attraction in the chem lab, that place which can be easily found by following your nose. In home ec we learned the ingredients for a well developed . . . personality. We worked our fingers to the quick, trying, like the little moron, to write short hand. And then there was the cooking class where reputations as home-makers were made or lost. After being firmly sandwiched between the Majors and the Minors we broke up the monotony — not to mention Miss Kiley ' s gym class — with the junior party. With a hubba-hubba here and a hubba-hubba there we paired off and watched the new romances bud. Now that our Junior-itis is waning, Senior Fever is putting a gleam in our eyes as we caressingly view that reserved section in assembly which is soon to be vacated.

A good sized crowd of recruits turned out for football practice this year, and Coaches Murray and Antonelli did their best, but it seemed as if Fate was against us. For the team didn ' t have a very good season, in fact they had more than their share of bad breaks. The co-captains were Jack Breen and Joe Conti, and although it often seemed as if they were leading their team against inconquerable foes, they never gave in until the very end. They kept on fighting even when they knew it was in vain. Also in there fighting were Pete Carchedi, who ran his heart out more than once, Mitch Thomas, who helped to keep up the team s morale and discourage the opponents, Louis Jordano, Herby Holman, Tom Driscoll, Eddie Giampetro, Sonny Sykes, Bob Mattson, Joe Grasso and Shotgun Seastrand. The fact that the team did not win does not belie the aggressiveness and loyalty of our players. By the way there are two more people who did their part for Norwood High, our slightly lime covered managers, Benny Murray and Gerry Mahoney. NOT • 19 4 6 Every game at home or abroad was well attended by an enthusiastic student cheer- ing section led by our lively lovelies Faith Coakley (captain), Netty Erickson, Mabel Mike, Betty Ann Butters, Marion Priano, Jane Adelmann and Ann Nickituck. These girls made up a stellar cheering squad, the kind the home town brags about and out of town schools envy. Townspeople as well as students showed their loyalty to the school by putting the Student Council ' s Football Program project over to the tune of one hundred dollars in the Athletic Association ' s pocketbook. In spite of the record we were proud of our school and team at the end of the season and we would like to wish the class of 47 and captains Seastrand and Mattson good luck and the same kind of school and team spirit we had this year.

The following Tuesday we met Wellesley on their court and vanquished them to the tune of 44-33. However, when they came here they turned the tables on us, winning 38-30. Next we traveled to Framingham to sink them 47-37, before being licked by Dedham, 40-27. We won the next three straight by toppling Needham 42-33, Cathedral High, 43-38 and Framingham again, 49-27. Then we dropped one to Walpole, 42-34, and another to Needham, 37-34. Our final match was with Dedham. Although they won the game, they certainly didn ' t walk away with it. We met the Shiretowners on the Junior High court on February fifteenth. A capacity crowd watched this close, thrilling game. Up to the last few minutes of play in the final quarter the Dedham team thought the game was theirs, but in these final seconds things began to pop. We tied them; went ahead; came another tie; they took the lead, after which another dead-lock occurred. Then a long shot from the middle of the floor clinched the game. What a heart-breaker! However we are satisfied with the fact that our team won at least once from every team they met, except one. Gerry Mahoney THE BLOT Baseball Coach Kiley talks things over with our baseball hopefuls. Coach John Kiley and Captain Joe Conti are looking forward to a good baseball season this year. Thirty candidates are being whipped into a super ball team, which will meet Dedham, Natick, Needham, Walpole, Framingham, and Wellesley in six diamond matches. Roy Meears, Teddy Campisano and Jack Bowles will be hurling to Jack Maroney and Joe Wall, while the seven other positions will be played by veterans like Joe Conti and others new to the Norwood nine. Norwood, once again a member of the Bay State League, is expecting to wind up with at least the Eastern Massachusetts state championship among their laurels. Gerry Mahoney ' ;: • .

Sonny : Well, what do you know — three old classmates working on this one train. Dot : Oh yes, and you ' d be amazed at the number of classmates I ' ve run into on this train. Why, just last week I was talking to Ruthie Burns. She was on her way to New York to lecture at Columbia University on Beauty Culture, together with her assistants, Carmella Bilotta, Carmella Dangelo, Catherine Connors, and Marion Esper. Jane: Betty Ann Butters used to go around with her, and I heard that she is em- ployed as Robert McLean ' s competent secretary. He runs a Bureau for Missing Females. Recently he picked up Netty Erickson who hadn ' t been seen since the U.S.S. Peter Long docked. Sonny : Say, Tommy Driscoll had better watch out or he ' ll get picked up, too.

Two of the teachers who turned out to be former classmates, Claire Fyfe and Louise Bonfatti, hurried them out before Dean Martha Erickson discovered them. Dot : Speaking of teachers, I heard that Despina Sideropoulos has just been given a long term contract as Head of the Business Department of the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls by the new director, Arthur Gregory. Jennie Puopolo is his private secretary. Jane: Did you know that Jean Patterson, who is a star reporter now, was complaining because her sponsor, George Goodwin, would only give her fifteen minutes a night for her news broadcast, and that wasn ' t nearly enough time for what she had to say? She was going to bring the case to those famous lawyers, Hobson Grady, of the Do or Die Syndicate. Sonny : Say, I was reading in the New Yorker, edited by Virginia Nuttall now, about that famous Bring Them Back Alive or Don ' t Put Up My Lunch Tomorrow, Mother trio, Bert Berglund, Fred Carlson, and Frank Garner. Dot : And I read in the Daily Confab, Ditty ' s stiffest competitor, which is pub- lished by none ether than Olga Olsavitch, Claire Rogers, and Betsy Ross, that the Paul ' s Orchestra was recently engaged over at the Totem Pole, with Bea Mike as their featured vocalist. Jane: Say — Look at the ad in the newspaper across the aisle. Does your wife annoy you? Are you thinking of drowning your mother-in-law? If so, don ' t soil your hands. Consult the John ' You can see them every week if you bring your own flowers, ' Breen. Specialists in that field are Charlie Fulton, broken legs; Eddie Johnson, broken arms; John Hawley, broken noses. Sonny : They always did obtain the best results in that sort of work. Is it true, Dot, that the Mighty All Stars travel this railroad line frequently? Dot : Yes. Just last week Petie Carchedi, Josie Conti, Eddie Giampietro, Louis Jordano, and Mitch Thomas were on their way to Chicago and planned to stay over and see the premiere of Sioux City Sue or I Wish I ' d Never Left Nebraska, starring Phyllis Crowley. Her gowns are designed by Irene Payne, one of the most famous designers in America. Jane: Speaking of clothes reminds me of Phyllis Allen and Shirley Holmes. They are famous Macari Models now in New York. (Five-minute stop) Sonny : Say, look at that billboard over there. Doesn ' t that smile belong to Patty Ennis? I heard she was a model for Pepsodent. And look at that one over there. B arnum Bailey Circus is now featuring Joe Dolaher and Bronislaf Jankowski who have developed two sets of eyes — one for brunettes and one for redheads. Under 23!! Dot : Well, someone else has an eye for the blondes. Richard Nugent, that profes- sional talent scout who has an eye for the fairer sex from six to sixty, placed Nancy Brock, that sweet nightingale, in the Opera Carmen ; and arranged for an audi- tion for Faith Coakley with the Boston Symphony, and of course she was accepted. Jane: Last week I went to the Modern Meat Market and you ' ll never guess who is the proprietor now — Dick Bonney! John Ferrara is employed there as meat cutter. Sonny : Speaking of cutting, do you know who the surgeon is at the Norwood Hos- pital? None other than David Shaw. And as the Superintendent of Nurses? Catherine Condon. Mary Adams and Phyllis Baler are employed there as secre- taries to Dr. Kildare and Dr. Red Adams. Dot : Well, the patients are in good hands, anyway. Do you remember those oral topics Alice Donovan used to give? Well, she is giving weekly talks now on current events and I understand they are very interesting Jane: The Bruins have a pretty good record this year, but that is only natural with Tom Foley and Mike Billingham on the team. And remember Anne Coughlin? Well, she is teaching at Norwood High now in the Language Department. Sonny : Gee, I wouldn ' t mind being in one of her classes. Mary Ann Grusheski used to go around with her. What is she doing now? Dot : Why, she ' s a star comedian and she has her own radio program. I understand that she had Jean Sansone, that terrific vocalist, as her guest last week. Jane: I was talking with John Robertson the other day. He has just been released from the Navy and he said that Tom Frates was over in the Mediterranean Sea on a cruiser. Tom joined the Navy back in ' 46 to carry on the family tradition. Sonny : Well, I suppose that was as good a reason as any. Did you know that Lillian Kasauskas was head of the Gillis Business School? And Ruth Conroy is teaching stenography there. Dot : Betty Corcoran is employed at Boston University in the Gymnastic Depart- ment. I guess she gives the girls some pretty stiff workouts, too. Jane: Say, there seem to be quite a few of the feminine members of our class who are teaching. Marna Spencer has a Kindergarten School that she has just organized and I guess it is very well attended. Sonny : A society for The Prevention of Cruelty Against Wives, has been organized and the following have been installed as officers: President, Mary McKenzie; Vice- President, Lucy Melino; Secrerary, Josephine Malacaria; and Treasurer, Emily Lynch. Dot : By the way, guess who is running the dining car on this train. Betty Brennan did so well at Bird Son ' s Cafeteria that she, together with Eileen Foley, is man- aging the dining service. Dotty Carr and Dotty Mackie are doing the cooking. Jane: Speaking of food reminds me of the swell meal I had a short time ago at Joan Bailey ' s home. You know she is married now and has triplets — Stubby, Chubby, and Aloysius. Sonny : Mary Ralkavich is married, too. I saw her the other day when I was cashing a check at the Norfolk County Trust; and before I could get the moola, the Puopolo twins, who are tellers there, said that it had to be okayed by the president, who turned out to be Jane Webber. Her motto is, Bring your money to us; and if the D aily Double doesn ' t come through, there ' s still the Nigger Pool. Dot : I saw Doris Dube and Rosita Kelley hurrying to the bank to make a tremendous deposit with Eddie Coyne as their police escort. Doris is teaching Roller Dancing and Rosita, Figure Skating at Rolland. They have very large classes and charge $5.00 a lesson. No wonder they need a police escort. Jane: Jean Docar and Franny Ivatts took a few lessons from them and now look at them! They head the cast in the Roller Skating Vanities along with two other class- mates, Roger Connolly and Robert Ferrara. ' ' Sonny : Maybe I ought to take a few lessons myself. That reminds me — Eddie Mike gives dancing lessons, you know — Just leave your feet in his hands and if he doesn ' t make you a dancer you can have them back! Jane: No, that wouldn ' t do you any good. But say, I ' ll tell you. Why don ' t you have a wave set in your hair — and not by a female either. Remember Arthur Paquette? He ' s running a French Beauty Salon in New York, and has a tremendous clientele. Barbara Gullich was going to a Teachers ' Convention recently, and had her hair done by Monsieur Paquette. She was very pleased with the results. However, the male patrons prefer to be treated by his lovely assistant, Dodo Tomm. Sonny : Gone are the days when James and Dorsey were the top band leaders. Now it ' s Shirley Garner and her Six Texan Hot Dogs, with Mary Donahue as the Pagliacci of the piano; Janice Everett, who has succeeded Jerry Wall on the clarinet; Janice Crowley, the queen of the drums ; Martha Hamilton, who is really wonderful on the bass viol; Mary Riley, the Jimmy Dorsey of the sax; and Mae Ristom, the Evelyn of the violin. The Dill Pickle Trio, Blanche Walker, Evelyn Slaney, and Emily Scampini popularized that new ballad — • Get your red hot frankfurts with the pickle on top; Just the way you like them and they ' re all red hot! Dot : Say, did you know that Charles Wohler was the manager of Vega ' s? He has Mae Louise Horn employed as hostess, and Gladys Jones and Mary Donovan as waitresses. Theresa McNuIty is the diefition. Quite a few of our old classmates seem to be employed there. Jane: James Butler, I understand, has a heavily guarded car on the back of this train for his new valuable mineral. He won the Nobel Prize for it. Sonny : I was reading in the paper the other day that Senator Francis A. W. O. L. (?) Pink introduced a bill into the Senate for younger female teachers and shorter school hours. It stated that Herbert Holman, State Representative, was opposed to the bill, and there was a lot of discussion. Dot : Speaking of the Government, Barbara Hall, Marjorie Tanner, Marion McCall, Margaret R. Flaherty, Christine Byrne, and Dotty Praino all have Civil Service jobs down in Washington. Jane: Ralph Hansen is head of Sears, Roebuck Co. now, and he ' s really doing a fine job. Ned Hills is his advertising manager, and Margaret A. Flaherty is working there as a clerk. Sonny : In a recent government bulletin, I read that those two dynamic scientists, Zettler and Meears, have improved the destruction theory of the Atomic Bomb. Joan Seekins and Laura Tracy, with their scientific minds, were of great value to them. Dot : Say, how ' s Harry Korslund making out these days? I heard his Chickery Chicks went out on strike again last week for eighteen and a half more grains of food a day. Jane: Well, they have to keep up with the times. The Six Little Tailors, which include Georgette Pelletier, Mary Palmerini, Helen Miecko, Margaret Hennessey, Connie Fabiani, and Marjorie Lane were out on strike, too. Their slogan is, Are you shaggy? Do your clothes look baggy? Well — what do you want us to do about it, anyhow? Sonny : Do you know who has formed a partnership? John Regan and Paul D ' Espi- nosa. They are doing art work and I imagine will go to town because they are a great pair. Dot : I also heard that Doris Eisnor and Marion O ' Neil are teaching Art at Simmons College. Jane: Speaking of Marions, Marion Praino is the buyer for Saks Fifth Avenue, New York. She always did have good taste for clothes. Sonny : The Florence Nightingales of the Walter Kroll Hospital are Marjorie Mac- Donald, Betty Rouillard, and Helen Savage. Gerry Mahoney was recently there, due to a collapse from overwork at his duties as a professor at Harvard. Jane: I read in the paper the other day that the American Airlines, now owned by John Silvestri, have accepted into their concern those three sensational aviatrixes, Phyllis Rafuse, pilot; Alfreda Statkiewicz, co-pilot; and Winifred Wallace, navigator. Dorothy Parsons is the hostess, and because of her charming ways, she has very little spare time. Dot : There is a new book on the market called How To Master the French Lan- guage, by Marie Antoinette Folan. Fd like to read it and get a few pointers. Agnes Foley gave an excellent review of it in the paper one night. Sonny : Catherine Flaherty is the head accountant in the Davis Gas Co. (That ' s Wendell, our old classmate, you know.) Jane: Helga Gottberg and Mary Lydon have just returned from a trip abroad as dip- lomats, after insuring a lasting peace with the European countries. Dot : As Mayor of New York, LeRoy Nordstrom greeted them. on their return. Sonny : The key figure in the welcoming committee was Madeline Deeb, who is known far and wide for her achievement in establishing friendly relations between Pan-American countries. Dot : Gee, kids. I ' ve got to dash now. It ' s about time to pull into the station, and I ' ve got things to do. Jane: Well, it certainly has been swell seeing you, and let ' s hope we meet again on our return trip. Sonny : Yes sir, Dot. It sure has been swell talking about our old classmates. And remember — If he ' s from Norwood, and if he ' s slick, He must have graduated in ' 46) Dorothy Ross Jane Adlemann John Connolly Uuess Wh6! c , Embarrassing, isn ' t it? 1946 Class Will We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-six, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills and codicils by -us heretofore made.

NIGHT Darkness — Darkness broken by pinpoints of light Cast by the scattered stars. A breeze — A breeze, warm and soothing, Wandering by as I walk alone. The clouds — The clouds of night Transparent as misty veils. Night, night, . . . Louise Bonfa ti SHADOW ON THE SUN (for David) What can a child feel of grief, Innocent, unknowing? His woes are sparse as green on heath Unwatered, ungrowing. He stops when sorrow comes his way, Feeling, not showing. Then presently returns to play Smilingly, glowing. Laura Tracy SAFE AND WELL The night is crisp, like watered silk, Cool to the touch, and smooth against the cheek. The breeze is wrestling gently with the trees ; The fragrant leaves whirl in the autumn wind. I cannot seem to hold myself within me ; My spirit wants to join the leaping leaves My heart is bounding high, its rhythm joyous ; For he is safe! The news has come today. Safe and well, the terse message was. Three newsless years, and he is safe and well! The gray etched panoply of sky above me Resounds the alleluias of my soul.
