S. E. E. A. MARTINSON Szzpuriizlemleizf of Schools A democracy can only be successful if it has educated citizens. I do not know to whom this quotation can be credited. but I would emphasize it for the benefit of the members of the class of 1948 who are now completing their formal high school education. As you go out from this school to other schools or to your occupations, bear in mind that your education in citizenship only begins in school and must continue all through life. You must learn as you go along, and you must apply your knowledge to help you he worthy citizens of our democracy. CYRIL D. LOCKE, Principal As you approach the conclusion of your public school career, you should be re- minded that there is only one difference between the successful person and the unsuccessful person. They both have ideas, but the successful person does some- thing with them. The unsuccessful person fails because he sets up a pattern of wishful thinking rather than purposeful action. E. A.

The class arrived, and the Freshman Frolics' began. Richard Forsley, the master of ceremonies, was ably assisted by jean Kilmartin, Eileen Cameron, and Marion Meserve. They, in turn, were supervised by Miss Myra Roberts. When the lights were dimmed and the curtain was raised, the stage displayed a customary Saint Patrick's Day setting with Shamrocks in evidence everywhere on the walls. Our initial attempt was a great success, socially and financially, hence, it was a happy freshman group that closed our history upon the completion of the first page. The following year, we, sophomores now, intrigued by our successful debut into Howe's society, held a Halloween Party in the school auditorium under the guiding influence of the leaders, Richard Forsley, Jean Kilmartin, Eileen Cameron, Marion Meserve, and Miss Myra Roberts. Again, our social endeavors were termed a complete success. And now we were juniors, with the Junior Club to manage from our exalted position as upper classmen. This year the floor show was going to be longer. The orchestra included Charles Sullivan, Jean Kilmartin, Eileen Cameron, and Joseph Cavanaugh, and was conducted by Miss Helen Davis. The first number included songs from Pops. Scenes from Crane's and Nantasket Beaches were of great interest, especially to the girls of the basketball team. The highlight of the evening was the entrance of the Prom Queen, Eileen Cameron, and her attendants. The royal court scene served as an appropriate finale to a gala year. Ahead now, at the entrance of Club 48, a neon sign read Tri-Delta appearing tonight with a cast of stars, led by Shirley Foley, Martha Gross, Alberta Greenwood, and Marion Meserve, Taking seats inside, we were given a program, the first act of the evening was to be The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. The production was coached by Miss E. Ruth Belcher, with the following cast: Richard Forsley, George Nickless, George Parker, Robert Rodman, jacquelyn Cutler, Eileen Cameron, Martha Gross, Leila Buckner, and Laura Waitz. The audience showed their genuine approval of our dramatic interpretation of this comedy. Next, the curtain was raised on the Senior Prom, displaying a gay and colorful galaxy of stars, under the supervision of Miss Gladys Boutillette. Finally, after much preparation, appeared the Graduation Scene. In this, each had his part to play, a fitting reward for four years of scholastic endeavors. Page four of our history is stamped Finis, and we reluctantly termin- ate the epic of the class of '48, LAURA WAITZ .. 20 ..

CHARLES PIERCE ROBERT RODMAN On this the twentieth day of june, 1948, A.D., members of the class of '48, Howe High School, Billerica, Massachusetts, did sign the above document in our presence, and did declare it their last will. Thereafter, we three, in their presence, and in the presence of each other, hereto affix our names. JOSEPH CAVANAUGII jonN 1.YoNs ROBERT FIELD 1 1 w h HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK men approaching, each of whom had a female by the hand. For many years, Charlie Pierce said, Mr. Kelley and I have enjoyed successful careers in law. These are our devoted secretaries, he said, pointing to Shirley Foley and Jean Kilmartin. The gates of Paradise are open to such law-abiding citizens. Looking up, I saw a girl hurrying along the road. She was none other than Lorraine Sands. She was being pursued by a robust young fellow. I let her pass quickly through the gates, and called the man to halt, recognizing him as an under- classman, I instructed him to return to Earth, for I could End no trace of his name anywhere on my scroll. My next visitor was the tall, athletic figure of Phyllis Smith, the inveterate skier. I admitted her without question. Two intellectual-looking women were now approaching the gates. They handed me their cards, which read: Dr. Doris Silliker, Professor of English and Dr. Helen Wansewicz, Professor of Psychiatry Enter that you may better St. Peter's kingdom through your knowledge. Then I noticed a small group of women anxiously awaiting their turn. The first I recognized was Frances Casey. She said that she and Dorothy Champlin had been proprietors of a dance studio. I bade them to bring added enjoyment to St. Peter's subjects. Alice Cuff and Marilyn Condon then came along and told me that they had been, for many years, hostesses at the Brown Derby. You cannot be denied the privilege of passing into paradise, I said to the little group. Enter. A troup of fantastically dressed personalities appeared on the scene. The foremost man in their ranks offered me the explanation that they were a theatre group. They handed me a program with the names of two motion pictures: The Desperadoesn- starring Chuck Schmelzer and Wild Bill Harmon and the co-feature comedy Give Me the Moon over Billerica, starring Eileen Cameron, Jackie Cutler, Leila Buckner, George Nickless, and George Parker. Enter, I said, St. Peter might appreciate such characters in his kingdom. just as this last group had passed through the gates, I noticed three sage-looking women approaching. The first of the group stepped up and accounted for herself and her colleagues. My name is Glennie Wilson, and here are Elaine Davidson and Dorothy Wiggins. For many years we were connected with the Atomic Research Department of the United States, during which time we endeavored to keep atomic energy for a peaceful weapon. s yours.

When I asked them why they had come to Paradise so young, they told me that one day a bomb instead of a tomato, was thrown from the audience. The choir of the kingdom will be complemented by such voices as yours. 'I rv ls ' by three girls approaching the gates of Paradise. I learned ' 56 f- 9-10 J 6' Y fa O i As I turned from the choir, I noticed an old woman heavily loaded down with an assortment of washboards, whistles, and horns of various tones and sizes. Strange as it seems, the woman was Frances Pauline. I learned N that she had been the sole arranger of Spike Jones' music. I told her to enter quietly. Next came two women whom I recognized to be Laura Wanitz and Anne Pelletier. QQ arf. s in- ' IT ' PLN lvl E HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK I learned that they had had many successful years as magistrates in the Divorce Courts. The girls were noted for their decisions which always favored the male. ? ? ? ? I told them to enter, but they should have to Hnd another means of livelihood in St. Peter's kingdom. As I stood resting a moment, I was startled by a noise, and upon turning around, I saw a large group of men approaching. Gentlemen, tell me your names and occupations, I said. The first stepped up and said, I am Robert Maddox, automobile agent, lived in Billerica, had a farm, three goats, two cows, a pig, and a wife. Enter! Next! Proceed. V john Lyons. I owned a barber shop in Boston and lived in a bachelor apartment with my friend here, Doug Milton. ' I asked Mr. Milton what his business was. He replied that he had had a good government position and had done nothing wrong, except, perhaps, smiling at his secretary, Rita Machado. Laughingly, I told the whole group to pass through the gates. Next came Betsy Crombie, closely followed by two girls who I knew were Anne jean and Jean Hatzberger. These three girls controlled the government of Billerica for ten years. They were so successfully managed by Larry De Benedictis that no man ever dared take out nomination papers to oppose them. I told the girls and Larry to enter. As I was about to close the gates for the day. I looked up and saw a few more stragglers hurrying along the path to Heaven. The first arrivals were busily engaged in conversation. They were none other than high-powered salesman, George Flewelling, and housewife, Catherine Granfield. George was still trying to interest Catherine in a new type husband rug beater. I told the two to hurry through. just as they passed through, two girls came scurrying up. They were jean Sanders and Elsie Gilman, two noted chemists. I learned they were the concoctors of the secret explosive that rendered Mr. Franz and his laboratory useless. I told them to enter but to keep their explosives to themselves. Next came a sage-looking old gentleman. He told me his name was Chester Wright, a direct descendant of the Wright brothers, and that he had neglected to equip his new type jet plane with suitable landing gear. That explained his presence. I told him to enter. As Chester Wright passed through, I noticed two ladies approaching. I recognized them to be Marilyn Zawisa and Dolores Ceglanski. The girls had been enjoying a ride in Dolores's 1929 car ? P ? with newly-licensed Marilyn at the wheel. CThe bandages had been expertly adjusted.J Next came three fellows who were without a doubt, Leonard Hanson, Francis Gove, and Ray McColough. Ray told me that he and his two associates had successfully vended McColough's Wampum Juice throughout the world. Ray would feed the boys some of his Wampum Juice, whereupon Leonard and Francis would give a yell and A lift 1,000 lbs. of steelg but one day Ray put too much 1 'I Wampum in his juice.

This game was won very easily by our lads. In the home opener, Howe showed excellent running and blocking in beating a favored Wayland team. The following Saturday, Howe was upset by a hard-playing Dracut team. This loss cost Howe the Suburban League title, incidentally. In the next home game, Howe met a hard-playing Foxboro team. Although leading at the end of the first half, Howe lost the game as Foxboro came back to score two quick touchdowns in the second half. The following week at Lexington, Howe suffered its third straight defeat at the hands of a powerful Lexington team. The team changed its pace, however, by soundly beating a favored Tewksbury team. On Stoneham's home grounds, Howe displayed excellent offensive and defensive football to whip a strong Stoneham team. A weak but scrappy Burlington team invaded our home grounds only to be beaten by a more powerful Howe team. In one of the top games of the season Howe lost a heartbreaker to a powerful Concord team after a great fight, which saw Howe leading at the end of the first quarter. Howe journeyed to johnson the following week, only to be turned back by a single point in a rough game with the johnsonites. The traditional Thanksgiving Day battle with Chelmsford was a thriller. The victory meant the first leg on a new trophy for the series. Everyone played a good game as the Howe warriors defeated an unexpectedly potent Chelmsford team. Thus our grid season closed with a record of 6 wins and 5 defeats. 5 6 13 6 Howe 2 Ayer Howe Stoneham Howe 13 Wayland 12 Howe Burlington 0 Howe 0 Dracut 6 Howe Concord 56 Howe 12 Foxboro 14 Howe johnson 20 Howe 0 Lexington 12 Howe Chelmsford 6 Howe I5 - Tewksbury r1,,i,,,,., ....... .,,.. ,. ..,..... ,,.,,,,.. .... --....-W.....,,,,..f ,,,, ...-,-,.,. . q ' 7? vBOB RODNAN 'BRBYZG AGIE TON'xTORPEY y .1 J- ! x ,. 3'l,g,g'lK M A I iii M6 7 , x.., f 2 Y x l. i W 7 3 l- . - I 4 I wi .

These girls were dressed in green jumpers with white blouses: while the leader was dressed in an attractive white uniform and green blouse. The girls were lead by Shirley Clark, assisted by Miss Eleanor Wain, Ruth Strom, Claire Belyea, Audrey Lloyd, Ginny Greathead, Sue jean, Marion Meserve, Eileen Cameron, Phyllis Smith, June Cameron, Jean Kilmartin, and Betsy Crombie, On the day preceding the Thanksgiving game, a football rally was held. The football players were ushered into the auditorium by the cheerleaders who then conducted the rally. The ensuing rally was a fitting preparation for the big game with Chelmsford, during which cheerleaders and fans alike gave the Howe players very loyal support. To these girls will go our gratitude for their many new cheers, acrobatics, and their winning spirit even when defeat was inevitable. HOWE HIGH YEARBOOK Bda' 46'aalmt6alL The basketball practice this year started early in December under the direction of Coach Gladys Boutillette. Practices were held every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As this Yearbook goes to press, however, the final Chelmsford game is yet to be played. A basketball banquet for the entire Suburban League is anticipated some time in March. A great deal of credit must be given to Miss Gladys Boutillette, the coach, for her co-operation and inexhaustible patienceg and also to the former coach, Miss Eleanor Wain, for her willing help in providing transportation to many of the games. Also at the basketball games this year could be seen Howe's vivacious cheer- leaders. The following four teams were chosen: Laura Waitz, Virginia Greathead, Claire Belyea, Lorraine Lambert, Jean Kilmartin, Shirley Clark, Phyllis Smith, Patricia Barton, Marjorie Richards, Ruth Murphy, Claire Sheehan, Martha Gross, Eileen Cameron, Marion Todd, Jeannette Lambert, Claire Boyland, Mary Barden, Mary O'Connell, Louise Walsh, Eleanor Daniels, Anna Baraldi, Gail Flint, and Thelma Hedberg, managers: Betsy Crombie, Emily Streitmater, Nancy Marshall.

As most of the boys were lacking in experience, the team experienced some little difficulty in effecting a winning combination. The team started out with victories over the Alumni and Hamilton but experi- enced rough going after that. With the season nearly over, the team hopes to make it a successful season by winning in the Fitchburg tourney, and the final Chelmsford game. During the season the boys had a great deal of fun and gained much valuable experience. A banquet, sponsored by the Suburban League, is expected to end the season. The members of the team are Joe Cavanaugh, George Nickless, Dick Brown. Capt. Dick Forsley, George Parker, Bob Rodman, Larry DeBenedictis, Grant Whiteway, George McGurn, Eddie McGurn, Chuck Schmelzer, Harry Martell, Harland Robbins, Paul Johanson, Gene Flint, James Daly, George Gracie, Bob Wentworth, Red Conway, Ding Belanger, George Santos, George Hallenborg, Wendall Sylvester, Bill Shack, Lorne Thomas, and Manager Alan Richardson.

HOXWE HIGH YEARBOOK jful -malta, As in past years at Howe High, the senior girls have banded loyally together to form the Tri-Delta Club of '-48. Our goal is keeping up the standards of duty, decorum, and deference, which are symbolic of the three D's. The officers elected by the girls were president, Shirley Foleyg vice-president, Martha Grossg secretary, Marion Meserveg and treasurer, Alberta Greenwood. The girls of Tri-Delta have enjoyed an unusually active year. Under the capable direction of their adviser, Miss Mary I. Wood, a full program was planned, with one special activity each month. The Club was called to order each Wednesday noon in one of the classrooms. Thus, members combined business with pleasure. During the year, the girls have helped the Athletic Association by selling tickets at the various games held at Howe High. The Tri-Delta girls of '48 extend their best wishes to the future club members for a successful year, with enjoyment in all club activities. -42- PIOWE HIGH YEARBOOK Klub The Glee Club is divided into two groups.
