Music — Eunice Anderson The years are slipping fast away, And we must say farewell to-day To teachers, friends, and classmates dear.

S.! Our memory will with you rest, And ive shall try to earn the fame To make us worthy of thy name. PLOT FRESHMAN We knocked at the door with a happy grin, And the upper classmen let us in. History was in the making all over the world. The overwhelming victory of the Unit- ed States had not yet dimmed into the past. It was just about this time that another great historic event took place. We, the class of ' 49, made our debut at A. H. S. As usual we Freshmen were bewildered, but we may hon- nestly boast that we weren ' t taken in by those merciless students who tried to sell us tickets to the elevator. As for the reserved seats in the cafeteria and losing our way around the cor- ridors, however, we shall omit all discussion. We were soon relieved of most of our perplex- ity when we gave four people the great honor and privilege of being officers of our class: President, Richard Farrell; Vice-President, Carl Weeman; Secretary, Cynthia Hawkins; Treasurer, Kaye Surprenant. Things now rolled merrily along. Some of our more courageous classmates such as Eu- nice Anderson, Violet Hogberg, Ruthie Gal- vin. N orm Anderson, Ralph Hudson, Dick Pellissey, Charlie Bennett, Jimmie Kershaw, Dick Young, Jimmie Ganci, Howie O ' Hare, Rich Marsh, Boogie Ostrander and Carl Wee- man fearlessly joined the athletic forces of A. H. S. and modestly displayed their natural talents. Charlie Bennett, Larry Cooper, Helen Guillette, Dolores Morin, Howie O ' Hare and Carol Wells saw that we were well represented on the Student Council. In May we held our first big social event, the Freshman dance. It was called Pepper- mint Phantasy and, much to our pride and joy, was a big success. Thus, having completed our first year, which in the beginning seemed everlasting and dull, most of us began to look forward to our sophomore year. SOPHOMORE CLASS As Sophomores we were mighty wise, And had a record twice our size. It can ' t be true. We are big Sophs — no longer insignificant Freshmen. Now we were the villains who, for revenge of our previous year, gladly took up the duties of selling tick- ets for the elevator to the freshmen and scorn- fully gave them wrong directions until satis- faction was ours. After much heavy campaigning, we finally emerged with the following officers: President, William Swenson; Vice-President, Howard O ' Hare; Secretary, Ella Fleming; Treasurer, Kaye Surprenant. Joe Menard, Bill Swenson, Jed McCarte, Pudgie Inman, Bunny Randall, Bob Fisher, Fuzzy Ney, Eddie Guillette, and Eddie Mottau gallantly accompanied our heroes of the pre- vious year onto the athletic fields. Eunice Anderson, Dick Farrell, Ralph Hudson, Hazelle Lamoureux, Howie O ' Hare, and Kaye Surprenant were delegated to the Student Council. This was the year we gladly welcomed physical education, under the capable super- vision of Miss Thomson, Mr. Tozier and Mr. Cassidy. A new principal, Mr. Samuel Graves, came to us from Winchester. Our able dance committee thought up a most original idea and called the dance, which helped to replenish our treasury, Comic Cav- alcade. This, too, proved to be a huge success. And so, by hard work, we finally awaited the day on which we were to become upper classmen. JUNIOR CLASS They say great oaks from acorns grow, And trees will grow from seeds we sow. And thus we, perhaps the shortest people in the high school, entered our Junior j ' ear, proud of being the second most important class at A. H. S. We began this year hale and hearty by electing an all-girl slate of class officers: Presi- dent, Helen Guillette; Vice-President, Eunice Anderson; Secretary, June Carlson; Treasurer, Beverly Schofield. The next important event on the agenda was the selection of our class ring. This the Ring Committee did to the utmost satisfaction of the whole Junior Class. Realizing that our finances were in a state of near-collapse, the Junior Dance Committee, together with the class officers, put on the never-to-be-forgotten Under the Big Top, which was a complete success, not only finan- cially, but also, socially. The football and basketball teams pros- pered as a result of the Junior additions to the teams; Jed McCarte, Dick Pelissey, Pudgy Inman, Bob Moore, Norm Anderson, Jim Gan- ci. Bunny Randall, and Larry Cooper helped fortify the football team, while Boogie Os- trander, and Carl Weeman were holding their own on the court. Our famous battery of Ostrander and Pelissey was a credit to the baseball team. The girls ' basketball team had an unde- feated season with the help of our Juniors. Ruth Galvin, Eunice Anderson, Jackie Moss- berg, Violet Hogberg, Butch Coleman, and Arlene Bell. This year fifteen of our high ranking Juniors were initiated into the National Honor Society as active members. We now had three years to our credit. We bid farewell to our Junior year with a little remorse, but with enthusiasm for the year that was yet to come, our last and best. SENIOR CLASS Tho ' we as acorns were quite small, We came, we saw, we conquered all. Was it a dream, or were we really Seniors after three long years of waiting. ' We were proud to be the most important class in the school, but we realized that we must always be a good example to the underclassmen, a realization we have tried to carry into action. This was our last chance at politics. We rounded off our high school career by choos- ing Sheldon Smith, President; Robert O ' Don- nell, Vice-President; Howard O ' Hare, Secre- tary; and Beverly Schofield, custodian of our ever-increasing finances. With a committee consisting of these, our class officers, and the defeated candidates, we put on a truly dreamy dance, Heavenly Haven. Can anyone forget the heavenly jury which passed judgment on our excellent entertainment. ' As usual the football team was excellent. Norman Anderson, Buddy Cooper, Bunny Randall, Dick Pelissey, Jim Ganci, Bob Moore, and Jed McCarte, ably assisted by other mem- bers of the team, led the fray against North as we overthrew the Rocketeers by more than forty-points. The basketball team, headed by Carl Wee- man, and Boogie Ostrander, had a successful season. The girls ' basketball team had a very suc- cessful season with the help of Jackie Moss- berg, Eunice Anderson, Violet Hogberg, and Arlene Bell. Our Senior Prom, one of the best ever held at A. H. S., transported the happy throng to Winter Wonderland. Helen Guillette, our D. A. R. good citizen, who won Honorable M ention in the Westing- house National Science Talent Search, was class Valedictorian, and Eunice Anderson was Salutatorian. As the doors of A. H. S. close behind us, may we keep foremost in our thoughts that In Ourselves Our future hies. EPILOGUE We, the class of 1949, realizing the desperate need for our lost possessions and having ob- tained permission from Saint Peter, do hereby leave the protection of heaven and once again enter the portals of A.

Guest artists were Kaye Surprenant and Dale Gould as the Dancing Duet , Miss Barbara Bonnie Hall sang her ever faithful Manana. She had just returned from City Hall after singing for the Mayor, Leroy In- man.

JEAN TRAINOR 43. ANN MULLIGAN BASEBALL A wealth of material was on hand for the first practice session of Coach Tozier ' s baseball team. As soon as the first robin was sighted, the batboy hunted bats and balls out of storage, and the boys journeyed to Capron Park for the first time. Dick Ostrander, mainstay of the staff last year, was back as pitcher and he was again joined by Fred Thomson and Leroy Inman. At first base was Bill Marcoccio, who is also a good slugger. Second was retained by Donny Briggs. Short was between Howie O ' Hare and Bunny Randall. At third was reliable Jim Ganci, another veteran. This gave the Blue a very good high school infield. In the outfield was Ralph Hudson, Joe Cassidy, and Dick Ostrander, when not pitching, or Bob Moore when Dick was on the mound. Behind the plate was a veteran of two years in Dick Pelissey. This was one of the best teams to play for the A.H.S. WRESTLING The A. H. S. wrestling team had a record this year of three wins and five losses, but four of these losses were by a scant margin. The schools with which the team contended were Perkins Institute, Providence Country Day, Needham ( 2 ) , Wellesley ( 2 ) , and Noble and Greeneau. The team also par- ticipated in the state meet at Milton Academy with Norman Anderson drawing second place in the 145 pound class. Considering that this is only the second year that Mr. Cassidy has handled wrestling in the school, the boys have done very well. Those on the squad are: Robert Watters, 121-lb. class; Roger Boucher, William Tannock, and Robert Demers, 128-lb. class; James Gallent and Wayne Patterson, 136-lb. class; Norman Anderson and Robert Smith, l45-lb. class; Larry Cooper and John Harnel, 155-lb. class; Richard Powers, l65-lb. class; Ralph Hudson, 175-lb. class; and Robert Moore, heavyweight class.

FOOTBALL The class of 1949 gave A.H.S. its best football team since Robert Perry and company romped over the gridiron in that undefeated season of 1942. This year ' s record was not as impressive, but the Bom- bardiers were in every game right up to the final whistle. The Blue and White whipped New Bedford Voke, Coyle, St. Bernard ' s, Braintree, Plymouth, and North Attleboro, while they lost to Durfee, Fair- haven, Milton, and a heavy Alumni team. SWIMMING This year a swimming team was formed, with Mr. Kempton Smith named as coach. He is a form- er teacher of English here at A. H. S. and has done a fine job with the boys in their first attempt at the sport. Practices were held in the limited spaces of the local Y. M. C. A. pool. This w as one mark against the boys, but they came through in grand style by winning their first meet with the Dean Academy jayvees and giving the more experienced Rhode Island schools a good battle before losing out. The Blue Gills did very well in their first year, considering the handicaps, and should be given a lot of credit for their effort. Basketball Team BOYS ' BASKETBALL Top row: E. Berthold; P. Plante; R. Norman; H. Fuller; R. St. Pierre; R. Madden; B. Collins. Middle row. N. Whyte; W. Marcoccio; H. Wetherall; Coach Tozier; H. O Hare; A. Berberian; D. Dunn. Front row: D. Briggs; H. Cassidy; R. Ostrander; C. Weeman; F. Thomson. The Blue and White finished their regular season with a very successful record of 18 and 3. They finished second to Durfee in the Bristol Coun- ty loop, and along with the Hilltoppers were invited to Henry McCarthy ' s annual Tech Tourney in early March. It was the ninth time since entering the Class A ranks in 1936 that a team of Coach Tozier ' s has been invited to the schoolboy classic. In 1943 the Blue won the title and went back the next year only to lose in the semi-finals. The Bombardiers started the year off with an exhibition loss to Pawtucket West High by one point. They won their next nine games in a row before being stopped by the Whalers of New Bed- ford by a single point, a foul shot tossed in during the last seconds of the game. The only other losses were at the hands of Coyle and Durfee, both on foreign courts. Highlights of the season were wins over Coyle, Vocational, Durfee, and New Bedford at the armory. The defeat of Durfee before over 1000 fans at the armory was Durfee ' s first defeat in two years at the hands of a Massachusetts team. The score was 33 to 26 with the Blue leading most of the way. After the defeats at Durfee and Coyle, the Blue made a great comeback by winning their last six games of the season to assure them a tourney bid. Three seniors were on the team. They were Carl Weeman, Dick Ostrander, and Howie O ' Hare. Carl was one of the best guards in the county dur- ing the last two years, and this past year was select- ed on many an all-county team. Dick was again one of the high scorers of the team and the league. He scored well over 200 points this past season and al- so made many of the county all selections. Howie was one of the top reserves on the team and showed great improvement near the end of the season. The starting five consisted of Weeman and Hal Cassidy at guards, Ostrander at center, and Fred Thomson and Don Briggs at forwards. Don, Dick, and Fred were the Tom, Dick and Harry of the team. They were the scoring attack of the club, and near the end of the year when Fred started to counter many times, they were the best scoring punch line in the loop. Joe at guard played a very steady game. He teamed up with Carl to give the Blue one of the best backcourt pairs in the league. Others on the squad were Hootie Wetherell, a very good guard; Dan Dunn, who seems to be a coming star; Norm Whyte, lanky center who came through in the Voke game; Bill Marcoccio, football star; and the aforementioned Howie O ' Hare. It was one of the best teams to ever play for dear ole A. H. S. TECH TOURNEY QUINCY 45— ATTLEBORO 43 A big thirteen point defeat at the half proved to be too much for a fighting Bombardier five to overcome, as they were edged in a thriller by Quin- cy 45 to 43, in the opening round of the Tech Tour- ney. The Blue played a poor first half and this lost the game as a gallant second half rally fell short. Don Briggs and Dick Ostrander led the second half assault that gave the 12,125 fans many anxious moments and almost brought home a victory. Don dumped in 15 markers, earning him an All-Tech berth, and Dick put 11 through the hoops. That second half rally will not be forgotten by many Blue rooters for a long time. After making what seemed to be a walkaway a close game, it was too bad the clock ran too fast. Maybe an Attleboro win was just not in the books. Girl ' Basketball Team Coach Brennan ' s girl hoopsters came up with another great record this past season and walked off the floor victors in 10 of their 11 games. Their only defeat was at the hands of a strong Mansfield six, but this was avenged in the second meeting of the two clubs by a 29 to 27 count. The girls scored a total of 439 points for a 40 point average, while holding their opponents to 308, averaging 28 per game. The flying Swedes, Eunie Anderson, Jackie Mossberg, and Joan Pilblad led the scoring attack as they romped to easy wins in most of their games. Eunice averaged 18 per game, as she hit the 200 mark for the season, while Jackie and Joan came up with 133 and 103 markers, respectively. It was not only the scoring of these three, but the good guarding of Violet Hogberg, Arlene Bell, Peggy Willsey, and Carol Clegg, in holding their opponents to a minimum that gave the girls their many wins. It was a well-coached and evenly bal- anced team that took the floor and came up with a great season for the Blue.

TATTLETALE This year ' s senior class naturally feels that this TATTLETALE should be the best that has been is- sued to the public in quite a few years. Through the hard work of the entire staff, a yearbook, which our class will be proud to own, has been published. With the work of Miss Stoehr and Miss Ott our faculty advisors, and our co-editors we have come forth with this volume. BLUE OWL In the year of 1946 our school publication was changed from a magazine to a newspaper. From that moment on, the editors have been receiving complaint after complaint; therefore, contributions and suggestions were received. Consequently, our newspaper has improved tremendously even though we were confined to cramped quarters (one wing of the stage). Here, with the aid of our facul- ty advisors Miss Jeffers and Miss Pithie, our news- paper was compiled and edited. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is a newly formed organization in the school. It is a nation-wide socie- ty open to all honor students. The members of this club must be juniors or seniors. The juniors to be eligible must have an average of 87 percent and seniors 85 percent. To remain in the club the members must maintain an average of 83 percent. Leadership, service, and character are also requisites for membership. The officers are Richard Farrell, president; Jean Faulkner, vice-president; Mary E. Vaughan, secretary; Helen Guillette, alumni secretary; and Miss Ramsdell, treasurer. The advisors are Miss Graves, Mr. Cooper, and Miss Simonds. HONOR SOCIETY Back row: N. Terhune; H. Lamoureux; C. Bennett; E. Ander- son; A. McNary. Middle rou -. F. Pelletier; C. Wells; L. Cooper; A.

JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross is one of the most neces- sary and active organizations in the high school, and it is still growing. Since the war its members have carried on many projects which were impor- tant to our service men in hospitals and to our veterans. Early in the year the club elected officers: Lau- rel Globus, president; Florence Pelliter, vice-presi- dent; Helen Guillette, secretary; and Zoe Brown, treasurer. Mrs. Cooney is the faculty advisor. The members of this club set us all an excellent example to follow in helping our country. This year has been a very successful one for the club, and we should be proud to claim such a group in our school. JUNIOR RED CROSS Back row: M. Betts; N. Shang; S. Remiers; R. Gaboury; J.

FRENCH CLUB Parlez-vous francais? No. That ' s what this group does. From the minute they pass through the sacred portals of 106 until their meeting is ad- journed, nothing except French is spoken. I haven ' t a doubt that they have a hard time understanding each other. They started oflf by electing Mary Ellen Betts, president; Therese Ledoux, vice-president; Ann Middleton, secretary-treasurer. With their faculty advisor Miss Pierce, they enjoyed a party. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club is -composed of Spanish students with honor grades. Miss Politella compe- tently advised the group in relation to its activities. The club was led to success this year by Helen Tip- ping, president; Barbara Sanderson, vice-president; Barbara McCloskey, secretary-treasurer. The main purpose of the group is to discuss and to try to understand more clearly the geogra- phy and customs of the Spanish-speaking countries. TRI-Y Top row. N. Grecca; L. Filipe; V. Doyle; E.

We all remember initiation day when the new members, bedecked in pigtails, curlers, bows, and cardboard signs, infested the corridors. Miss Hinckley is the faculty advisor for this group of thirty-one senior and junior girls. Meet- ings are usually held every other Monday night at the high school. Guest speakers often address the girls, and one of the most interesting this year was a Red Cross Recreational Worker. Each year the Tri-Y puts on a social affair of its own. This year it was Cupid ' s Capers, which we will never forget. The officers are: Eunice Anderson, president; Doris Carlson, secretary; Cynthia Hawkins, trea- surer; Jean Rigby, vice-president and Marjorie Murphy, scribe. The Drama Club, officially the Drama Show- case, is a new organization in the school. Mr. Spink has been the faculty advisor for two years now. The officers are Florence Pelletier, president; Hazelle Lamoureux, vice-president; Ruth Sharkey; treasurer; and Helen Guillette, secretary. The club was formed for all those who are inter- ested in stage work of any type. This year the club success 11 lly produced three one-act plays and pro- vided P-Ctcrs ard actresses for the Diuma Festival and ihe Senior Play. TRIHI-Y Back row: B. Welsh; J. Mossberg; H.

TRI-HI-Y CLUB HI-Y To create, maintain and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y meetings. They are held at the Y. M. C. A. on Wed- nesday evenings at 7:30 with Peggy Willsey pre- siding. Other officers in the club are Jean Faulk- ner, vice-president; Agnes Ekholm, secretary; and Nancy Crecca, treasurer. It was this club which sponsored a Christmas party for needy children. All in all, they have done an excellent job and deserve congratulations. The Hi-Y, under the excellent guidance of Mr. Howard F. Chilson, maintained its high standards which include creating, maintaining, and extend- ing in the school and community high standards of Christian character throughout the year. Richard Farrell was the presiding officer with James Ganci as vice-president; Howard O ' Hare as secretary; and Robert Fisher as treasurer. The group is looking forward to the annual, early-summer outing with the Tri-Y. PRESS CLUB Back row: G. Almeida; W. Morris; G. Hutchins; J. Pickering; B. Sanderson; G. Smith; M. Walsh; J. Nerney; J.

PRESS CLUB Have many of us ever stopped to think of all the work that goes into the preparing of the A. H.S. news in the Attleboro Sun by the members of the Press Club? First, the members visit teachers and gather news by keeping their eyes and ears open. The faculty advisor for the club this year is Miss Laliberte who took the place of Mrs. Farmer when she left in the middle of the year. Helen Tipping was the successful president this year. LIBRARY AIDES Assistance to the librarian in the handling of books and the care of the A. H. S. bibliotheca are the main purposes of the Library Aides. The girls were under the excellent supervision of our libra- rian. Miss Mabel E. Harris. Many of us have spied these helpful messen- gers in the halls or working in the library. BAND Back row: A.

Its performances at the football games and the Tech Tournament were in- deed praiseworthy. A. H. S. may be proud of its band. Mr. Bessette, its leader, deserves a round of applause for the grand job he has done. I Hear Music ... At least, that ' s what they tell me it is. This, of course, is our superb orchestra practicing, and it is said that practice makes perfect. In this case there is no doubt that it has done just this. Mr. Chase has given freely of his time in directing the orchestra in such an apt manner that no one will forget their performance at the music assembly which is still being spoken about.

A little change took place this year and instead of merely serenading us Monday morning during Period X, we hear the glee club different days and various periods. Under the direction of Mr. Bessette the girls have been studying popular as well as classical music. They must be remembered for their superb performance at the Christmas Assembly. BOYS ' GLEE CLUB Going To Get a Girl — This popular song hit isn ' t exactly the boys ' theme song, but it could be as they ' re all boys and they all sing. From this group of forty-five boys, eight have been chosen to act as a double quartet. Their songs have been enjoyed immensely. With Mr. Chase as faculty advisor this group has done more than its share in entertaining the student body. STUDENT COUNCIL Top row: R. Gabri; H. Wetherall; W. Marcoccio; W. Swenson; R. Farrell; S.

STUDENT COUNCIL MIXED CHORUS This group is the students ' voice in the govern- ment of the school. It is composed of home room representatives, elected by the students, and the four class presidents. The Student Council under the excellent leadership of its president, Edward C. Ney, presented during the year a series of services to the school such as pep rallies, maintaining the juke box for noontime dancing, and functioning trips to ath- letic events. The faculty advisor of the council is Mr. Skel- ton. The officers are as follows: Richard Pelissey, vice-president; Cynthia Hawkins, secretary; Beverly Schofield, treasurer. With Mr. Chase as faculty advisor, a mixed chorus has been formed. It is composed of the best voices from both the boys ' and the girls ' glee clubs. They have been studying Gilbert and Sullivan ' s selections. GUIDANCE ASSISTANTS Standing: C. Hawkins; E. Holbrook. Seated: A. Fitzpatrick; H. Marcellino; Mr. Zmudsky; Mrs. Dean; H.

CHEERLEADERS Many a victory would have seemed empty and many a defeat more bitter without the cheers of all. Our vivacious, peppy team of Cheerleaders, under the direction of Kaye Surprenant, head Cheer- leader, have excelled in this field. No matter where or when, Attleboro High had reason to be proud of its Cheerleaders in any competition. COLUMN LEADERS Marching along together . . . This year the number of column leaders was increased. The rea- son for this was because, in addition to the regular squad of twirlers, a drill team was instituted. More girls are now able to compete in this field. Outstanding of those chosen as twirlers were Theresa Coutu and Alice Bradley. The truth of the matter is that they are both freshmen. However, each and every girl did an excellent job under the direction of June Wallenthin, drum majorette, and Cynthia Hawkins, head of the drill team. VIDEO CLUB L. Quaglia; B. Purdy; Smith; J.

The club was presided over by Sheldon Smith, president and Felix Proulx, vice-president. The purpose of the group is to maintain and operate all of the audio-visual machines that are owned by the high school. There is no one here that has not been served in some way through the work of this organization. Its mem- bers have aided many classes, assemblies, plays, and other activities through their knowledge of audio- visual machines and their af¥iliated subjects. Drivers ' Education is open to all members of A. H. S. who are sixteen years of age or older and don ' t have their driver ' s license. The group this year was advised and taught by Mr. McLean. The members learn the parts of a car and how they run. They are excused from questions to obtain their licenses if they pass the test given at the school. A new car of a popular make was donated by a local automobile dealer for the group to practice their driving. This organization has been very successful and should prove to be very helpful to its members be- fore and after they are graduated. Wfiiiilil lfciimi ■ II First row: E. Rapponeau; A.

THE ATTLEBORO JEWELRY TRADE SCHOOL During the final days of the depression, the need for a trade school in Attleboro became evident. There were openings for skilled craftsmen, but no opportunities for inexperienced help. Manufacturers could not af¥ord to teach apprentices. Consequent- ly, a small number of prominent business- men got together and discussed what they could do to help the situation. Some dona- ted machines of various types and one do- nated the entire floor of a building in the business district of Attleboro. The school that was thus started attracted the attention of the Massachusetts State Department of Vocational Education, which had been try- ing for some time to establish such a school in Attleboro. Seeing the good start that had been made, they got behind the project and gave it both moral and financial support. The trade school course is a four-year program, equally divided between academic and related work and shop practice. In the shop skilled instructors teach three trades — toolmaking, die-cutting, and silversmithing. These three trades are important and well- paying and are the foundation of the jewel- ry industry. Any of these courses satisfac- torily completed (together with academic and related classroom work) entitles the trade school student to an Attleboro High School diploma. The Attleboro Jewelry Trade School was founded for the purpose of providing educational opportunities for those who wish to become skilled craftsmen in the jew- elry industry. It will continue to develop the special abilities and personal potentiali- ties of young people and to provide them with experiences in productive and coopera- tive action.
