■ ie vJacAem 1947 ★ ★ ★ AGAWAM HIGH SCHOOL Agawam, Massachusetts . . ONWARD . . We, the citizens of tomorrow, Pace the world with fearful heart; For of the burden of a nation Can we rightly take our part ? Can we, in a breath of eternity, Fulfill the dreams of man For a prosperous, peaceful haven Reigning o'er this turmoiled land? Yes, World, we have the courage And the strength of youth. Cod’s gift, Entrusted to us with His purpose, To aid mankind, not merely drift. We will bear the burden bravely, And our path will onward lead, Trudging, weary, sometimes fait’ring, Forever striving to succeed. —Catherine Manos Jlu fflrnummn The Class of 1947 dedicates this book to the memory of Miss Cora M. Barnes, teacher in She Agawam .Junior High School from nineteen hundred twenty two until nineteen hundred forty-six, who, with un- ceasing efforts, sought to instill in the minds of her pupils the principles of democracy and the American way of life. 1 4 1 1st Row—Mr. Wright.

Barbara Longcy. Doris Tourvillc, Lillian Rogerson, Lucille Langlois, and Edith Ezekiel are busy looking for recent books.) BARB : (Jee, kids, this seems like old times, doesn’t it ? DORIS: Yes, remember the trouble we used to liave finding books for book reports ? BILL: Let’s see if we can find some books about our (’lass of ‘47. LI : Maybe we can find the record of our high school days. ( Edie moves away and selects a book.) EDIE: Here’s the volume about our freshman year. DORIS: Let's see what we did for excitement. BARB: There weren't any social events because we couldn’t have a freshman party; but 1 do remember some of the officers. Wasn’t Jack McQuesten voted president ? BILL: Yes, and Rita Dumond was elected vase-president, and Lucille Johnson, secretary. LI': And don’t forget that Frank Dean was treasurer; but the office was turned over to Bobby Stephens when Frank left for the Navy. EDIE: So far. so good, kids! As you go along. I’m checking off’ these events. H': Isn’t this fun ! Let’s go on. BARB: Now, let’s see what we can recall about our sophmore year. DORIS: Well, no changes were made among the officers but we did have a sophomore party. BILE: Yes, 1 remember. It was called S trhuj Carnival. EDIE: 1 really enjoyed that party especially the skit. Buddy Schwartz, Bobby Stephens, Ray Xapolitan, Donald Poggi, Jimmy Mcrcadante, and David Hynes were in it, and were they funny! Remember? Asa matter of fact, all the entertainment was good. DORIS: By the way. didn’t Mrs. Rescia make our class banner that year? LI': Yes, 1 was just going to mention that. It was green and white, and very att ractive. BARB: Well, girls, time is going by. Let’s see wlial else happened. LI LB: Here arc some things about our junior year. We had new class officers then. Duane Patch took over the presidency; Alice Waskiel was vice- president; Catherine Manos became our secretary; and Bobby Stephens remained treasurer. DORIS: The Junior ('-abaret comes next in my mind. It was called The (laslii lil Gaieties. BARB: How could we forget it? We all had fun. dancing to Ed Kennedy’s orchestra. BE: Don’t forget our talented group of entertainers Jeanne Provost, Richard Rescia, Herkey, and Frenchy, the quartet, and you. too. Lill. LILL: Vos, I sang a few songs — but speaking of entertainment, if I remember correctly, the last operetta conducted by Miss Perry was presented that year. The name of it was The Pirates of Penzance. HAIM: Some of the members of our class had important roles. Jerome Pau .e was the Major General. DORIS: Barbara LaViolette, Alfred St. John, Richard Reseia, and Betty Taylor were also in the cast. U': Near the end of our junior year we had our most important class meeting. It was to make the decision about our class rings and caps and gowns. LILL: I couldn't decide which kind of ring I wanted because we had such a wide variety to choose from. EDIK: Most of the boys chose plain gold, while the girls preferred ruby or onyx. HAIM: Lu, you said something about our caps and gowns. We finally decided on white for the girls and navy blue for the boys. DORIS: We were really on the beam that year! As a class, we accomplished a great deal. LILL: But that spring we had the terrible misfortune of losing our beloved superintendent, Mr. Phelps. IIAIM: That was a great tragedy for everyone — but despite that loss, school life had to continue. Then in June Mr. Wright became our new super- intendent. EDIK: 1 guess we haven't left out anything so far. It all checks with the third volume of our class history. DORIS: Well, the next big event for our class was the Junior Prom. LI . I don't think I'll ever forget the wonderful time I had. The crystal ball was really beautiful. HAIM : I’mmmm — and Irene Casagrandi and her committee did a perfect job on the decorations. DORIS: Dancing to Johnnie Rogers' orchestra was super, and do you remem- ber how the fragrance of flowers filled the auditorium ! EDIE: I certainly do, but let’s get on to the fourth volume, about our senior year. LI’: To begin with, Miss Moriarty took over as class adviser, so that Miss Dick- ermari could coach the senior play. But we re-elected the same class officers. HAIM: That fall Harm Smith came up with a wonderful football team. Cliff Kibbe. Bud Johnson, Lew (lonet. Dave Palmer, Buddy Schwartz, and Jack McQuesten were our contributions to the first string. DORIS: Buddy Schwartz and Cliff Kibbe were co-captains that year. LILL: That's right. Now, what about our social activities? It seems to me that the Kid Party came first. EDIE: I remember that we all had a perfect time; and, as usual, the entertain- ment was solid. DORIS : We played lots of games and acted like kids. Bob Stephens, our Santa Claus, handed out toys; and prizes were awarded to the cutest and to the most original girl and boy. I 33 | FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President : ROBERT HYNES FieePosidoit: NANCY HALL Secreturi : JOANNE BELTRANDI Treasurer: JUDSON HASTINGS It Alt It: Say. we forgot something! The operetta Rio Rico was presented just before our party, and several members of our class were in it. ERIE: The next big event was the senior play, produced on April IS. It was called the Life of the Party, and did we ever have fun at rehearsals! PAR It: The play really was a great success. LI': Let's not forget the class banquet in dune. The gifts the committee gave out were darling. DORIS: But THE important date of our senior year was dune 1!). the night of our graduation. LILL: The ceremony was a wonderful inspiration to all of us. We certainly felt very proud that night. ERIE: I'll never forget the last day of school when we had to sing our class song to the entire student body. LI : Neither will I. It was sad to think of leaving, but the class picnic soon cheered us up. BARB: Well. kids. I guess that's about all there is to the history of the Class of 1947. RORIS: We certainly had a wonderful and successful class.

Agawam. We. Terry Matton, Irene Oasagrandi. and May both Coughlin, decided to lake a holiday. We needed a rest from our very busy Exclusive Shoppe,” where Terry remodels the head, Irene dresses the body, and Maybeth puts the glossy sheen on the shoes. We invited Kllie Mandirol, the noted artist, and Shirley Daigneault, who was enjoying a brief vacation from concert tours, to accompany us. After gathering our few possessions, about ten trunks each, we hired a rocket ship from Roy Welder's Sturdy. Dependable, and Cheap Travelling Accomo- dations.” This model was especially designed for us by .lack MeQuesten. In order to make the trip more entertaining we invited the piano virtuoso, Richard Rescia. who insisted upon bringing his piano along. Taking off. we swiftly climbed into the stratosphere, and whom should we meet writing his own advertisement in the sky but Neil Tarris. 11 is advertisement was I sc Tarris Nylon Ilair Nets- witli the leather harness that fits snugly around the chin—guaranteed not to slip.” As we climbed higher and higher. Richard turned on the radio, and we heard Lillian Rogerson singing the theme song Cook by the Hook” for the Farmers Favorite Recipes program. Edie Ezekiel Schwartz was the narrator. Overjoyed, she could hardly keep from telling everyone that she had won first prize for canning homogenized baked beans. As an added attraction on the pro- gram this week. Edie introduced her husband, Hud Schwartz, who had been giving lectures on how to milk a cow. The title of his speech was Just Pull.” The following program was a news broadcast, with William Hrackoncski as com- mentator. His first flash of the evening was that Sister Biergel's treatment of the chicken pox had been officially approved by the Poultry Association of America. The next exclusive item concerned Jeannette Harpin, girl con- gresswoman, and her outstanding secretary, Louise Ballnmi. As they were being driven down Hollywood and Vine by (Scorge Dacey, their chauffeur, they were stopped by an urgent call to return to Congress to stop Raymond Xapolitan's filibuster against prohibition. It was stated that Stanley Saltzman was one of Xapolitan’s strongest opponents. Satisfied with the news, we turned off the radio. We zoomed to earth, landing at Hollywood. There our attention was attracted to the premiere of How Dismal Is My Swamp,” starring Jacqueline Fraser. Rich- ard purchased orchestra seats for a later performance from Viola Blair, the ticket seller. Then we set out to explore the town. Our first stop was at Baldy’s Bakin Beanery run by Libia Rovelli. Its main attraction was the Four Majors” -Porter, St. John, Pauzc, and their new member, Hcorge Draghetti—singing Coney Island Babe.” Music for dancing was furnished by Ronald Kane with his drums, and Herk Carpenter at the piano. James Merendante, wearing a tor- eador suit, strolled around the room singing Angelina. The next morning as we were passing a church we heard an organ playing Danny Hoy,” and knew instantly that it was the wedding of Joan Arnold. Prom a passer-by we learned that it was a double wedding service with Lucille Johnson as the second bride. Having wished the beaming couples happiness, we went on down the street. Some distance farther we caught sight of a billboard with the following advertisement: Are you bashful? Are you shy? Gome to Richard BodurthaT School for bashful boys.” Dick Nocilla also owned some stock in this enterprise. While we were gazing at the sign, Larry Kwiatkowski drove up in a shiny new limosinc. lie informed us that he owned the Never A Dull Moment Films, and he gave us passes to visit the studio. Of course, we took advantage of this opportunity to see a picture in the making. 10dward Blanchard, the policeman at the gate, furnished us with a guide, our friend Donald Desjarlais. He took us to the set of Back With the Breeze.” sequel to (lone With the Wind.” The starring roles in this production went to Duane Patch, who played Rhett Butler the Second, and Alice Waskiel as Crim- son O’Hara, daughter of Scarlett. Costuming for women was under the super- vision of Cecelia Ramah, while James Liberatore was in charge of that for men. David Palmer, the director, was excitedly tearing handfuls of hair from his head, without noticeable damage. Barbara LaViolette followed him about, gently sweeping the tufts into a neat pile. Shirley caught sight of Elsie Trehey, the script girl, who told us that some of our friends were on the next set. We hast- ened there and came upon a beautiful panorama of Hawaii at night. This was the setting for the number Honolulu Lulu.” Terry pointed out Doris Tour- ville, Lucille Langlois, and Connie Cleary in the chorus. Suddenly we heard H-A-W-A-l-I. hula. hula. H-A-W-A-I-I. hula, hula. It was Barbara Longev, Nola Wyant, and Mary Liquori. Hi the musical feature, Jeanne Provost was the center of attraction. Becoming tired of Hollywood, we left for Florida, where we obtained tickets from that bookie, Scotl Shipway, for a football game between the (lorillas and the Zebras. The star players were, for the Horillas, Bud Johnson; for the Zebras, Clift' Kibbe and Lew Honet. We left the exciting game with the score tied at 203. Vito DePalo, the manager of both teams, told us that this was the twenty-fifth game played between the two teams with a tie-score at the end of each game. As we were walking down the street, we heard a putt-putt noise, and saw someone approaching on a brand-new motor scooter. It was Senor Orlo Powell, who was selling cactus sewing needles with fine points, ten for a nickel. Ellie asked him where we might obtain flowers and evening clothes, because we want- ed to see the night spots. For flowers he directed us to the Ever Bloomin’ and Ever Blossomin’ (Jreen House. run by (Jerry Moore and Bob Stephens. For clothes be advised us to go to Anna Norman’s Fashion Centre,” where the prices were $!!! and over. After we had secured the desired articles, Richard suggested that we go to Paul Coppi’s “Coconut Heaven. As we entered, a coconut fell on us—a very original and painful idea. Featured in the entertain- ment was Betty Taylor, who did a black-face rendition of Caldonia.” The latest swoon-attraction. Douglas Kerr, was there, too. The cigarette girl was none other than Violet Haseltine, who was selling cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and Rosie (iibbs sweets with gooey centers. On her tray Violet also had special cigars man- ufactored bv David Hynes. These cigars were sold with the guarantee that if you could speak after the first two puffs, your money would be doubly refunded. Returning to our hotel at a late hour, we met Ted Godek delivering milk in his shining white truck. Having had enough of Florida, we went to Washington. We wanted to visit Ramona Davis’ Brain Institute, where only people with a scholastic stand- ing of 99% or over are accepted. Since we were refused admission, Irene sug- gested that we go to a fur fashion show run hv John Oesan, the “Diamond Jim Brady of Washington.” Here Rita Dumond modeled the latest fur creation, sent in by the greatest skunk skinners in the world. William Gibbs and George ('raigie. Our next stop was at the Library of Congress. We met Jane Jasmanicki. librarian in charge of important documents; Helen Hastings, librarian in the agricultural department; and Marjorie Harrison, in charge of American sports. As we came out of the Library, a violent debate was being presented on the proposed bill: “Women should not he allowed to wear slacks.” Fred Ramah was the most ardent supporter of the measure, with Ann Aloisi and Phyllis Reed as his worthy opponents. Claire Shay lor, Secretary of War. was trying to make peace. Feeling that our trip should come to an end, we climbed into our rocket and flew homeward. After a swift journey, we landed at the airport, where we were greeted by Catherine .Manos, pad in hand. She told us that she was a reporter for the new Agawam Daily News. From her we also learned that Jean Tetreault and Jeanne Donais edited the column Home Life,” and that Bruna Dalla Pegorara was head of the “Stitch and Rip” section. Cynthia Carr had taken over as manager of the Farmers Exchange, with Theresa Goyette as her secretary. We noticed that Norma Nutbrown was the busy editor of the column “Advice to the Lovelorn.’ After purchasing a copy of this remarkable publica- tion, we hurried home to a well-earned rest, Irene Casagrandi Maybeth Coughlin S11IRLRY DaIGNEAULT Eleanor Mandiroi.

The girls’chorus participated in tin Ilolv Week services at Springfield Auditorium. The band was a recent addition to the musical activities of Agawam High School. Mr. Abbey, its able director, has done an excellent job in organizing the group.

FOOTBALL The Agawam High Eleven, coached by Harmon Smith, had a very successful season this year. The team lost hut two games; and one of the losses was against the powerful Cranston. Rhode Island, team. The season opened with hard games for the slow-starting Agawam team: hut once they began rolling, the Brownies were unbeatable. In their first game against Gardner. our squad won by the slight margin of 19-18. The toughest game was that with Holyoke. Holyoke had been a dark- horse all season, and everyone expected that Agawam would have an easy game. Long runs and heavy penalties against Agawam proved to be decisive in the defeat. In the last period Agawam began rolling, and was only one touchdown behind; but this sustained drive was cut short by the final whistle, and Holyoke left the field victorious. The best and most unforgettable game of the year was the Agawam- Turners game. All during the first period it seemed as if the Turners team couldn’t be stopped; hut even though Agawam looked completely out-matched, our boys scored one touchdown, and the half ended with Turners in front by a 14-7 margin. In the third period, after scoring their third touchdown, Turners missed the extra point, making the score 20-7. In the last period Johnson proved his ability by crashing over from the one-yard marker and racing up the side- lines for two brilliant touchdowns. After Johnson’s second touchdown the score was 20-20; the crowd was tense, for the game was in the final minutes of play. An extra point might mean the game, and it did; for Knights pass to Johnson was good for the extra point and the game. The last game, which was a tough contest against Cranston. Agawam lost by the score of 26-6. Bud Johnson and Lew Gonct were the stars of the year: hut all eyes are on Tom Knight, the sophomore passing star, who has great possibilities in his next two years as quarterback. Seniors on the squad were Richard Bodurtha. Vito DcPalo, Lewis Gonet, Leonard Johnson. Clifford Kibbe, James Liberatore. John AlcQuesten. James Mercadante. Raymond Napolitan, David Palmer. Duane Patch. Orlo Powell. Fred Ramah, Sumner Schwartz. Roherl Stephens, Neil Tarris.

The most exciting game of the year was that in which Agawam came from behind to beat Kn field High bv the score of 25-22. Agawam won its home game against West Side; but it was a great disappointment to lose West Side's home game at the Coliseum, for the final score was 27-26. Kven though Agawam lost some hotly contested games, the members of the team played very well and were all good sports. Out of the '46 season came a view of tilings to come; for Tom Knight and Richard Daglio, sophomores, played excellent basketball and gave great promise for next year’s team. Douglas Kerr and Tom Knight did most of the team’s point-getting, while Clifford Kibbe was an outstanding guard. Honorable mention goes to Bud Johnson, who did a fine job as both guard and forward. Senior members of the team were Hiram Carpenter, Vito DePalo, Leon- ard Johnson. Douglas Kerr, Clifford Kibbe, John McQucstcn. First «’ore—Castelli, Knight, KaRivierc, L. Johnson, Daglio, Hare, Carpenter. Sf cotul Hoir- McQuesten, K. Johnson, Kerr, Coach Smith. Megazzini, Kibbe, DePal . GIRLS' SPORTS Miss Hastings, director of the girls’ athletics program, has guided the team through four successful years. The games in which the girls have partici- pated include field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Through these sports the triple objective of cooperation, good sportsmanship, and physical fit- ness has been achieved. in 11)4 � , when they were sophomores, the girls were awarded their numerals as winners in volleyball and softball: and in 11)47 they were declared champions in field hockey.
