Our past is now behind us, Remembered are the moments sweetg Remembered also the hardships fought, And the Spirit that knew no defeat! Have we given our best, the best we had To our country, our home, and our school? Have we lived as God would have us live, Guided by His Golden Rule ? He put us here upon this earth To follow His way of lite, In a world He meant for love and joy, But which Man has made one of strife. A world where War, with its malice, With Hate and Death in store, Creeps like a toe upon us, And knocks at each one's door. It comes to take our loved ones Away to tar-off lands. . Will they return? - We hope and pray: Their fate lies in His hands. They will give their all that we might live In a world that is free from sing A world where Hate will disappear, And lights no longer be dim. God grant that the sun will soon break through And a better day be dawning, A day when no more we hear ot wars, Nor sounds of sorrow and mourning. lt is for us solemnly to pledge Our thoughts, our deeds, and our prayers, That all our honored heroes may know We are a nation that cares. That we, America's youth, shall strive With heart and soul, till we see Their dreams come true: Their country freeg A land of faith, and true liberty. DOM CHIULLI and IDA AMENO B.V.l-I.

Our school is unique in that it has not yet held a peacetime graduation. The Class of 1945 entered High School at a time when the hope of keeping our country out of war was just beginning to dim. Early successes had increased the arrogance of aggressor nations whose leaders had begun to sneer at us as a people afraid to fight. Then came the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor and the wrath of an aroused America. Almost over night the military and industrial might of our nation was mobilized. Our educational aims took on a new meaning. Fathers, older brothers, and even sisters, rushed into military service. War held the front pages of the newspapers and became the chief topic of conversation in and out of school. Educational aims and standards were reappraised in the light of their contribu- tion to the winning of the war. In such an atmosphere it has been difficult for you to live a normal school life. Your school work has been frequently interrupted by the closing of school so that teachers might assist in the various rationing programs. Most of you have worked long hours after school, assisting in the production of supplies and equipment for our fighting men. Cften you have shared with classmates or members of the faculty, their grief at the loss of a loved one. Many of the graduates who preceded you are fighting with the Armed Forces thousands of miles from ome. As this is written the clouds on the horizon are beginning to clear. Our forces are ad- vancing steadily on all fronts. It is not a time for relaxation but rather for more vigorous effort. lt is well to consider the problems of peace but we have yet to win the war. The Armed Forces are still calling and, at the same time, production must not lag. To you members of the Class of 1945 I extend my sincere congratulations upon the success- ful completion of your high school course. By your loyalty, sincerity, and effort you have attained your goal. Individually and collectively you have reflected credit upon your school. As alumni of the Brandeis Vocational High School you are permanently associated with us. The status of alumnus is life-long. May your lives be rich in God's blessings and may all your efforts be crowned with success. 114.1 vi 1 ,-:-if -1::1-:1.:71li1:1-.1.:- .-Q-1,:1,:,..7i TO OUR GRADUATES l extend my congratulations to the graduating class of l945 ot the Brandeis Vocational High School. Your undergraduate attitude of loyalty and enthusiasm, your hearty zeal and school spirit have won the commendation ot the members of the faculty. lt is my earnest desire that you carry with you and uphold the lotty ideals that you have absorbed as students in the Brandeis I have been a teacher over thirty years in the Boston Public Schools and during that time, naturally, have come in Contact with many groups of pupils. The graduating class ot 1945 is one of the best and most cheerful classes of pupils I have ever met. God bless you, and may success crown all your earnest endeavors. Head ot Division TO THE GRADUATE OF 1945 The Graduate of the Class of 1945 leaves the Brandeis Vocational High School with her diploma in her hand. When the war is over, soon we hope, this diploma will be the implement to obtain for her better opportunities in a World at Peace. May great courage and wisdom be given to you to gain for yourself great happiness and success is the wish of 1 Head of Girls' Division, Brandeis Vocational High School ..., B.V. I-I. n-1. S To the Graduating Class of 1945: My message is one of congratulation upon the completion of your four-year course of studies, and of best wishes for a successful future in life. You are going out into a world of destruction and chaos. Some of you will enter the armed forces of your country, while others will pursue more peaceful vocations: but whichever paths you follow, I am confident that you will bring distinction to yourself and honor to your school. I wish to thank the Seniors for their hearty support of athletics, and particularly those who took an active part in the various sports. Sincerely, W. l.

Considering the fact that it is a new high school, only three years old, we have been most successful. Our second year in competition found us with an all-scholastic, Ma Brady, on the Boston Newspaper Team A in football. Our past scholastic year has seen a new form of athletics added to our varsity programg basketball, after being absent for thirty years has found its way back into the Boston System. We have watched the build-up in this sport in our high school with much interest, and consider- ing the new school, we were most successful our first year. Basketball was introduced as a new varsity sport of the Boston Conference in 1944. Our team lost three games the first year and then won the last four games in a row. ln the mean- while, Team B won six out of seven games. This is a very good outlook for the newest high school in the Boston System. This year we are playing every team in the Boston Conference, and the boys, although new to the Boston's athletic program, need take their hats off to no other team. Boys, continue your improvement, and good luck to you! l want to take this opportunity to thank the Head Master, Henry D. Fallonag the Head of Division, lohn I. Boyang the members of the faculty of Brandeis Vocational High School: the players on the basketball team, and the student body for all their help and co-operation, espe- cially during my days as the new assistant coach of Brandeis Vocational High School. The day will come when, with a new gymnasium and a large alumni, we will bow to no high school in Boston. We hope to see the day that we will take our place in athletics with any high school in the City of Boston. GEORGE E. SHEPHERD B.V. I-l. S. FACULTY- BRANDEIS VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL HENRY D.

According to Lt. King: 'My most exciting missions were over Balikpapan, Borneo, and Truk atoll. I flew my 39th and 40th mis- sions over Balikpapan, and on the 39th our plane received two direct hits, by ack-ack and 80 20-mm. shots from enemy fighters. Six men of the crew were wounded. The mission over Truk was plenty hot when we were intercepted by 125 enemy fighters. Thirty- one of them were shot down by the gunners of the various planes and 40 were destroyed on the ground' Holder of the Air Medal with one silver and four bronze Oak Leaf Clusters, he has been overseas since November 10, 1943. Since joining the 13th AAF, he has participated in flights that are recorded as the longest ever made by Liberators in formation, and has also been advanced to his present rank. Lt. King wears the battle stars of the Northeast Solomons, Bismarck Archipelago, Man- dated Islands and the New Guinea Zone, but his air missions have carried him ,far beyond these former batt1efields. if -11ngulniz-11-lain: tilizlnzii-1-iiululnz-:z za 1:-:-limitiz'ii-.gni14i1u1in1n1ar1o1n1n1n1e - L... 13lVgli?g CLASS OFFICERS Seated: Nicholas I.

The Seniors of 1945 reporting! 1941-1942 Those Freshman Days! How far away they seem! 1941 - It was the year of Pearl Harbor! The girls were actively sewing for the Red Cross. Times were beginning to prove a bit exciting for the boys. In fact, many of the Seniors of that year could not be present at their graduation in Iune, 1942, because they had already entered the Armed Forces. It was during our Freshman year that our school received its permanent name, and the first graduating exercises of the new Brandeis Vocational High School were held under the direction of Mr. John I. Boyan, then serving as Acting Principal. The Seniors of 1942 had a rather unique setup. They had a Lady Class President and a Gentleman Class President. In fact, all the other officers were elected in duplicate, so to speak. But this blissful state of !'Woman's Individualism did not last long, for in September of '42, the girls of the new Senior class bowed to the will of their masters C??l, and expressed their desire to have that year, and forever thereafter, a young man as President, a young lady as Vice-President, a young man as Treasurer, and a young lady as Secretary. 1942-1943 At the beginning of this school year Mr. Henry D. Fallona took over the duties of Head- master of the Brandeis Vocational High School. Early in the fall the boys began football practice under the supervision of Mr. Bond. The team played its full schedule of games. Although there were no outstanding victories to report, the players won the respect and admiration of all their opponents for their courage and good sportsmanship. The Hockey and Track teams held their own against all competitors. The more serious military side of our school life was not neglected. The boys drilled long and often under Captain CRough and Tough Marinel Dallahan. The Girls' Department received several letters of commendation from the Red Cross for their work in furthering the War Effort. Between March and lune, 7433 surgical dressings were completed. The Dress- making classes and the Power-Stitching classes made towels, bootees, dresses, and nightgowns, as well as miscellaneous baby garments, as the need arose. Twenty-one sweaters were knitted by another group. The Boys' Woodworking classes did their part by constructing 125 stretchers, and 450 traction splints. The lighter side of the War Effort was taken care of by the Cooking Department and by the Art Department. Almost one hundred dozen cookies were baked and presented to the Buddies' Club. The Art classes made favors and table decorations for Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. Despite these many war activities during our Sophomore year, the cultural side of our life was not entirely forgotten. The school entered a contestant in the Iunior Literary Review Radio Program, sponsored by a leading Boston newspaper. It was also represented by a young man of the Senior class of that year in the lefferson Day Oratorical Contest, held in Faneuil Hall on April 7, 1943. Our school was the first to go on the air in a Safety Radio Skit, broad- cast over Station WORL, on October 2, 1943. So far, we present-day Seniors were somewhat in the background, only just beginning to make our presence known. A few of us played minor roles in the aforementioned activities. 1943-1944 Our JUNIOR YEAR! Now some of us were coming into the limelight. In this year Basket- ball started under the direction of Mr. Shepherd. The season was quite successful: in fact, we had among our players one of the leading scorers of the city, William Barker. In Football, Bill Varkas made the Second Team on the All-Scholastic. As for scoring, the team was handi- capped by the loss, early in the season, of two of its key men, loe Del..orenzo and Raymond Flaherty. Another novelty was introduced this same year. A Photography Course was added to the school curriculum, the only complete photography course to be found in a public school within 1945 pin1uivri0lo11liu11r1c14lic:1.rl:i1 iaioiuin-. -Ui 3.1.11 .1 .. 7 niuguiugu the state of Massachusetts. Mr. DeChristoforo very soon made practical application of the course by photographing the football team, in action. Later, under the guidance of Mr. Fallona, movies were taken of all the shops and school activities in both the girls' and the boys' build- ings. Outdoor scenes were taken in technicolor. The films were shown at various schools throughout the city, and also before a number of civic organizations. CTalent Scouts for Hollywood please note! Take a look at the Brandeis Movies. You might find some future Walter Pidgeons or Greer Garsons among us - not to mention Betty Grables or Dorothy Lamoursll The year 1944 was particularly outstanding in the matter of extracurricular activities. We entered the city competition in the History Test and Essay Contest. A number of students submitted papers on Improving Airport Facilities in the City of Boston. A member of the Class of 44 was among the winners of an essay contest requested by Mayor Tobin on the sub- ject Religious and Racial Discrimination Must Not Exist in America. Two of our present Seniors represented the school at the Round Table Discussion of the Air, over WMEX. The topic assigned to us was What the Youth of Today ls Thinking. fBy the way, Mr. Vincent Greene is in line for the title of Chief Radio-Program Organizer for B. V. H. S. He has been responsible for quite a few, up to the present time.l As had been the case for several years, the school again took part in the Public School Spelling Bee Contest, sponsored by a Boston newspaper. This year, however, we had special reason to be proud of our record, for, out of twenty-six high schools competing in the Finals, the Brandeis Vocational High was one of the six schools that had two entrants in the Finals. ghey were Donald McDonald fNinth Yearl and Yours truly, the Editor-in-Chief of your Year oo . In March, 1944, Ida Ameno, of the present Senior Class, had the honor to be the standard bearer for Brandeis in the lohn Paul lones Oratorical Contest, again sponsored by a prominent newspaper, and made a very successful debut upon the stage of historic F anueil Hall. A number of boys were privileged to gain first-hand acquaintance with army life by a visit to Fort Devens. lt was rather a breath-taking experience to witness conditions so similar to those existing on the war fronts of the world. 1944- 1945 THIS IS IT! Our Senior Year! Back to Brandeis come loyal and ambitious seniors, willing to sacrifice tempting wages for the advantages they feel will be derived from being the proud possessors of a high school diploma. Soon official Senior business was in full swing. At the first of a number of exciting meet- ings occurred the election of officers. Nicholas Cappello was chosen Class President: Elvira Polcari, Vice-Presidentg Frances Bionelli, Secretary, and Dominic Chiulli, Treasurer. Various committees were appointed shortly thereafter to take charge of the year's activities. It was then that limmy Taccini, appointed as Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book, was temporarily trans- ferred to the Girls' School. CWhat a breakll More and more we began to feel like real Seniors, especially after we received our rings, and later, when we reluctantly went in to have our pictures taken. CThe reluctance seemed chiefly noticeable on the part of the boys. How bashful some people arell Came December, and the usual vacant chairs. Youth to the rescue! Boys and girls, pinch-hitting for the young men and women serving Uncle Sam, go to work as salespeople, messengers, mail carriers and sorters. lanuary saw the return of the noble Seniors to the scene of their regular school respon- sibilities. fBy the way, it was almost one hundred per cent return on the first day after a long holiday intermission. Not so bad a recordll February 16, 1945 - a date that will long be remembered - the night of our COMMENCE- MENT PROM! Brandeis glamour galore! But, seriously, it was a grand success, and every- body had a wonderful time. The rest of the history of the Class of '45 lies, more or less, in the future. There will, doubt- less, be the usual participation in Spelling Bees and in other contestsg there will, perhaps, be Radio Programs. In some, or in all, of these activities, some of us Seniors will take a creditable part. Others may be away from the Home Town by that time, answering our country's call. However, let us hope that we shall all be able to be present at the really great event of our career, GRADUATION DAY, which comes early in the month of Iune. After that, it is Farewell to Brandeis. We sincerely hope and pray that our class will be the last War Class to graduate from the Brandeis Vocational High School. In closing, therefore, your Historian wishes to submit these thoughts as being worthy of consideration: Unless within our hearts we hold abiding peace, No League of Nations can succeed, nor will strife cease, If we ourselves see every fault in kin and friend, The world may never see the day when war will end. Let us profit by these warnings, and resolve that, so far as in us lies, the Class of '45 will work for Peace. IAMES TACCINI. Class Historian 4 4 4 AVE ET VALE QHai1 and Farewelll COMMENCEMENT - BRANDEIS - 1945 You have come to a stop, on the long-sought top Of the hill that has marked your climb From the plains below, when you saw the glow Of its mystic light sublime. You breasted the hill with a mighty will, To bathe in its summit light, And there you find, tho it seems unkind - The gate to another night. From here you start, with a burdened heart, Each on his road alone, And it's Life's decree, that where'er you be, You shall never meet as one. So each hand clasp with a firmer grasp, Gaze deeply into each heart. Bind firm each tie with a friendly eye, As the moment comes to part. For some to the war will drift afar, While some to the ploughshare bend, And some, more slow, shall nowhere go, But Wait for the journey's end. But whether away or at home you stay, Watching the Time-clock run, Whatever you do, this fact is true - You never shall meet as one! So each hand clasp with a firmer grasp, Then, though the world away You travel far, no hand can mar The friendships born today. Bind firm each tie with a friendly eye, Then staunchly as when begun, Its spirit bright, in Memories' light Will forever join you as one. - I AMES P.

Susie has a large mirror which she keeps in her desk in Room 402. Every morning the mirror is uprooted from its resting place, and is passed around the entire class. Then the beautifying process begins. When someone is skipped by, we hear the mournful and persistent cry, Where's the mirror? 'S my turn now! Next you hear, Gee, I'm all out of bobby pins. Who's got a bobby pin? A dreadful silence follows, for, with bobby pins so scarce, no one can afford to answer. Susie doesn't mind the commotion her mirror causes, nor the fact that her desk is ran- sacked every morning, but just takes it in her stride. Her mirror has been passed around and used so long and so often that it has become a legend. When she accidentally chipped off a corner of it, it looked as if the entire Senior Class would die of heartbreak. But, Susie's mirror is still in use, chipped as it is. Soon our schooldays in good old Brandeis will be at an end, but the incident of the mirror will always remain in our minds. Often in our imagination we shall hear the old familiar chant, Where's Susie's mirror? LOVE AND SENTIMENT This is your Love-lorn Editor reporting, and bringing you gossip from B. V. H. S. Ah, love! Beautiful love! One day as your editor was passing by the lunchroom he overheard this conversation: N-, you're going to take me to the Prom, aren't you? Well, if I take you, what will all the other girls say that want to go with me? I thought you liked me best. Don't you? I do, but - Who was talking to whom, would you say?

FLASH! Governor Crotty's term has expired. He will now take his seat in the Senate. Congratulations, Senator! FLASH! We are wondering which will have a nervous breakdown first, Mr. Bond or his car. SOCIAL STUDIES Iames I. Taccini, after many years of diligent research, has proved by vital statistics, that exactly half of the people who get married are Women. SHORTAGE We notice that there is an increasing shortage of Pushcarts. Take note, Giacalone! SYNTHETICS On passing by the lunchroom, we cannot help but hold up our heads with pride when we recall the highly memorable day when our school was awarded the Army and Navy E for a great achievement in the field of Synthetics. The humble SPUCKIE was selected as the nearest substitute for rubber. Anyone who has had the highly esteemed privilege of eat- ing one will verify the statement. Some fantastic rumor seems to be circulating to the effect thatfsorrgej one actually found some meat in a Spuckie, but such fantastic reports remain un- con irm .

S-O-O-H aa : lf you were born between DECEMBER 23 and IANUARY 20 - Your Planet is SATURN. Your lucky color is DARK GREEN. Your lucky day is SATURDAY. The Stars say you generally get what you go afterg so, COFFEY, if you want to be an Admiral in the Navy, there is nothing to stop you! The Stars also say that you will achieve success in Politics, Law, Science, or as Managers of large business concernsp as Builders, or as Agriculturalists. l-low about it, SCIENTIST RENDA? You will perhaps be managing a large airplane factory, as well as flying your own plane, if you follow your lucky star. RONAN will be Part Owner of the Rocket Motor Car Company. TACCINI, your dogged determination, and l guote1 great willspower, tact, and stability admirably fit you for positions of trust, but ycu should exercise tact in dealing with elders. As for the ladies- the Stars tell us that they will enjoy a fairly happy married life. Take notice, SARAH GARRO and VERA POLCARI -v should you prefer the profession of MATRIMONY to any of the others mentioned above. Lucky the man who gets you f for the Stars describe you as kind-hearted, loyal, and admirably suited for parenthood. 0 4 4 Were you born between IANUARY 21 and FEBRUARY 19? Then fa Your Planets are SATURN and URANUS. Your lucky color is LIGHT GREEN. Your lucky day is SATURDAY. To continue Does the following describe you? CDon't blame me. Blame the Stars!! You are over-sensitive and easily excited, yet you are kindly, humane, idealistic, and original. You have a tendency to be strongswilled and obstinate, and resent interference. You often feel alone in life, so you seek pleasure, gaiety, and crowds. IDA AMENO and FRANCES BALISZEWSKI f You will be among our best Artists and Entertainers, as the Stars say that in those fields you will be a success. Cr fr at the other extreme you could go far as Welfare Workers or as Business Qrganizers. ORMAN PHILIPS, NICHOLAS SALAMI, and JOHN COLLIER f A Electrical Engineering or Unusual Businesses are the things that will attract you, although you, too, could succeed as Politicians or in the Entertainment World. Now, all of you take note! -f -- People born between these dates usually marry well, gain- ing much socially and materially -f but 1 they are not 'Stay-at-Homes' - though they rarely neglect their children. Well, that's a help! B.V. I-I. S. 1.-gr-lqpuiuli-1.1. 11.11-111 1.1 1u1.:1nq:u1--1- 1- 11,11-11-1-1 1-1:-1n11-1:11'11-1:11-1. Does your birthday come between FEBRUARY 20 and MARCH 20? If so, Your Lucky day is THURSDAY. Your lucky color is SILVER GRAY. . Your ruling Planets are I UPITER and NEPTUNE. The Stars say plenty of nice things about you. Do you believe them? They say you are patient, good-natured, sympathetic, amiable souls. You are broadminded, forgiving, tolerant, and although you may seem to be easy-going, shy, and calm, you can take care of yourselves when occasion demands. Yet, on the whole, you dislike strife and quarrelingf' You are the Peacemakers of the world - so, DIPLOMAT JOHN YORK BRADY, you will doubtless be sitting at the Peace Tables of the Future, contributing wise and just plans for conducting World Affairs. Persons born between these dates should avoid low-lying, damp, areas. Transport Pilot DOMBKOWSKI, take heed, and when you fly 'em, fly HIGH, FAST, and FAR! From among these Children of IUPITER come many of our Research Workers. We can see MCLARTY and WATKINS in their streamlined offices in the Research Department of the General Electric Company - and what new electrical appliances they'll turn out! CYou ain't seen nuttin' yet!J PORCELLO will be doing the same kind of work in RONAN 'S Rocket Motor Car Company. The machines they'll put on the market will be Super, ALLEN WORTH will be devoting his abilities to designing Naval Craft. Many a swift commercial vessel and swanky passenger liner will bear testimony to his great skill and handiwork, and he will be able to take command of any one of them. ROSE ALBANESE, the only girl whose birthday falls between these dates, according to the Stars, will be a success as a Nurse, a Secretary, a Hotel Manager, or - she will make an excellent Marriage Partner. So - Rose - take your choice. If persons born under these planets receive the proper encouragement, sympathy, and understanding, many of their hidden talents will be brought out. Artistic Ability is not lack- ing in this group, and many Artists and Musicians are included in their ranks. FURDECK and LUCIANO, what talents are you hiding from the world? Why not search for an under- standing soul, and you may surprise us all with your deeds and accomplishments! O 4 0 Let's go on, shall we? Attention, you who were born between MARCH 21 and APRIL 20, inclusive! Your ruling Planet is MARS. Your lucky color is CRIMSON. Your lucky day is TUESDAY. Your Stars say you are strong, forceful, determined characters. Your craving for true affection and sympathy is due to the fact that you often experience disappointments and dis- illusions. However, you are rarely dull or uninteresting. In fact, you are quite witty, and the Stars say you would make good Actors or lournalists. There's an idea, MUZZI. Why not give it a try? BERGER, please take note. Your Planet says that, if given a free hand in displaying your organizing and developing abilities, you will make much headway, financially: but, unfortunately, interference from others will often tend to mar your career. From among these people come our skillful Doctors and Dentists. Well, MISS BURT, if you believe in your Stars, according to them, you will make a first-rate doctor! So, how about it? You've had your heart set on hospital work for a long time. THERESA MARINO. Star gazers say that persons born on your birthday are difficult to understand, but if you get a good marriage partner, your life will be happy, and you will enjoy good fortune. You, WIENCEK, being one of these children of MARS, are said to be full of vim and vigor, and make good Surveyors. For all we know, you may be staking out your own claim 1252? ....... .---, .... . .............. --- to a little Rancho Blanco in the Golden West some of these days. CARTHAS, whether you choose to be Dentist, Doctor, Surveyor, or Promoter, be sure you get enough rest and sleep, because the Stars say that is vital to your well-being. ELENA MUSTO, since you were born on April 4th, August is said to be your best month: and you will benefit through travel and relatives. GRIMALDI, go easy! You are constitu- tionally strong, a regular He-Man, according to the Stars-but- too much brain work will cause Hsleeplessness and head pains. That must be why you like school so much! C92 4 4 4 Those of you born between APRIL 2l and MAY 22, read carefully: Your ruling Planet is VENUS. Your lucky day is FRIDAY. Your lucky color is DARK BLUE. You Children of VENUS are extremely strong-willed, courageous, secretive, and well- balanced Cl wonder if they mean physically or mentally J. CORNETTA, COLANGELO and LAURETANO, it looks as though the Stars are on your side, and you can choose to be a Builder, Contractor, or any of the other professions men- tioned in this prophecy, and be a success. However, you are also a bit arty, and you love beauty and refinement in all things. You are much affected by your surroundings, which should be bright and cheerful. , ELINOR BERTOLAMI, the Stars seem to have your number fairly well. They say that those born on April 26 are kind-hearted, humane, loyal, and generous to a fault, where they lovep and that they love the good things of life. Persons born under this Planet excel as Chefs, Artists, Singers, Actors, and Soldiers! Alas, Class President NICHOLAS CAPPELLO! lf you heed your Stars, it looks like you'd be a better Soldier than a Sailor - so - take care and think it over! Boys born under this Star, hold your hats, and watch your steps where girls are concerned! The Stars say, the later the marriage, the happier you'll lf you're looking for happiness, steer clear of man-hunting women - as long as you possibly can! 4 4 4 Now we come to those born between the 23rd of MAY and the 21st of IUNE. Your ruling Planet is MERCURY. Your lucky day is WEDNESDAY. Your lucky color YELLOW. The Stars are kind to you MERCURIANS. They endow you with brilliant brains, inspira- tion, charm and popularity. CI'll say they're kind.J But - here's the catch! You are given to sudden enthusiasms and 'brain waves,' but quickly tire of them, and seek new pastures. So - ANTONETTE CORRAO, CATHERINE TASSONE, and JOSEPHINE GAN- DOLFO, if you overcome your lack of continuity of purpose and your indecision, you will be highly successful and will make great headway in life. You are promised success as Teachers, Travelers, Company Promoters, Stockbrokers, Reporters, Writers and Artists - or you could be good Auctioneers, if you wished to go into that business, so the Stars say! 4 4 4 Have you ever really looked at the MOON? Well, if you were born between JUNE 22nd and IULY 22nd, you'd better notice it the next time you get a chance! To you tespecially, OLSZAK and SICILIANOD that Moon is more than just the same old moon that you tell your girl to lcok at when you take her out. It is Your ruling Planet. Your lucky day is MONDAY. Your lucky color is VIOLET. There may be a reason why the poets and songwriters always rhyme Tune and Moon, for among those born under this Planet are found our romantic, imaginative, extremely sen- sitive, and emotional friends. How about it, MISS BIONELLI, MISS DOWNS, MISS DOHERTY and MISS GAVIN? Are the Stars telling the truth about you? Could be! Ah, but take heed in your financial matters, for the Stars say that you are inclined to go to economical extremes in small things at the expense of extravagance in major issues! if111:11111111110101sioioiuieriuinxfxiuvioiiviesixuzqiqgqyl-..131,10ig:1-.,gl:igpg1.g4:1-.pg-pi-1, , ,c n ,,F'gV' H' 5' 1, 1, 1, 1.11 1.1. 1- 1- 1- 1- 1 1- 1-.1.n:..11.1.vLu1.v1.v1.u-.n1oin1oiuio141 SICILIANO and OLSZAK, you will have your ups and downs in Business, so the Moon says, but if you stick to a good, regular line, you are promised a fair measure of success. And here are some to pick from, according to the Moon: You are lovers of the sea, and make ex- cellent Sailors, Artists, Musicians, Hotel Keepers, Launderers, Fishmongers Cthat's Fish Dealers to usb, and Antique Dealers. CI-Ielp yourself. It's on the I-lousell 4 4 4 Are you ambitious? Courageous? Sociable? If so, you must have been born between IULY 23 and AUGUST 22. Your ruling Planet is the SUN. Your lucky day is SUNDAY. Your lucky color is ORANGE. Persons whose birthdays fall between these dates are somewhat proud, stubborn, dic- tatorial: but, nevertheless, they are sensitive, emotional, and fond of children and animals. Now, JOSEPHINE JOSEPH, ANTONETTE FRANCHINA, and DOROTHY HORNER, I'll bet you're saying, That's not right. But, that's what the Stars say. But don't fret. They also say that you were born to rule and to command. And that goes for you too, SAVIANO, HWIDZIEWICZ, RAY, GIACALONE, and TODISCO. The Seniors will be taking orders in the near future from Automotive Consult- ing Engineers Saviano and Hwidziewiczp from Electrical Engineer Ray, or getting sailing orders from Commander Giacalone. Major League Manager Todisco will be telling 'em what's what in some future Ball Game in Fenway Park, where good old B. V. H. S. played football way back in 1944. The Sun, your Planet, says persons born under its protecting influence will not admit failure or defeat. Since that is so, it would seem, PARNELL JACKSON and PATRICIA BEAULIEU, whether Music or Nursing be your choice, success will be yours. The sky's the limit as to what you may become, if you make up your mind. 4 4 4 The Horoscope of those whose birthdays fall between AUGUST 23 and SEPTEMBER 22 is quite interesting. Read on, and see. Your ruling Planet is MERCURY. Your lucky day is WEDNESDAY. Your lucky color is DARK YELLOW. 4 4 4 Can it be true? Only one of our Seniors was born between these dates. Well, SUSIE SANTANGELO, it looks like you have no competition! The Stars say you are extremely reserved, which often makes you appear cold and undemonstrative! CThere must be some mistake. That isn't our Susie!J You have a keen, penetrating intellect, are conscientious, reliable, and hardworking. Cleanliness and tidiness are almost a fetish with you: you display remarkably good taste in food, the home, and dress. fWell, that's more like itll Persons born under this Planet are usually materially successful and fortunate in life. They make splendid Healers, Chemists, Lawyers, and Research Workers. No doubt, SUSIE, you will one day be traveling all around the world, interested only in Research! fRelsearch- ing for a man who's frelsearching for a fully-qualified Housewife! 4 4 4 Next- those who were born between the 23rd of SEPTEMBER and the 22nd of OCTOBER - Your ruling Planet is VENUS. Your lucky day is FRIDAY. Your lucky color is PALE BLUE. Have you been having an argument with your girl lately? ls she about to give you the air? Well, then it means that you have made an error. You should have found someone who was born on some day between September 23 and October 22, inclusive. Why? Because those girls are Peacelovers. They are Libra people: that is, they were born under the sign of Libra. They have a kindly, courteous, generous disposition, and are always ready 1215 .......................... ...WL to please. So, happy is the man who gets you, ROSE LO BIANCO, when your thoughts turn from Business to Matrimony. They possess a keen sense of justice and breadth of vision: they also delight in Art and Literature, and make a success of them. Get going, ROCCO. The museums may yet hold paintings of yours which will rival those of the great masters of the past. Persons who are born under the Planet Venus are strong and wiry, but should avoid ner- vous exhaustion. Speculations of all kinds interest them, and they are usually lucky. Take heed, MONDOVANO and PATTURELLI! You may win at the races once in a while, but don't let the bright lights lead you astray! 4 4 0 Here is the prophecy for those who were born on a date between OCTOBER 23 and NOVEMBER 21: Your ruling Planet is MARS. Your lucky clay is TUESDAY. Your lucky color is DARK RED. Your ruling Planet, MARS, is the planet of the god of War. That must be why the Navy got you, DALEY and BINDER. But you chose right, for the Stars say that Maritime pur- suits are best for you. You are said to be strongly influenced by your associates - so - pick your friends with care, and all will be well. KID CRABS, a life on the ocean wave seems to be your ambition, so the Stars are all fixed for you, since they say that you Children of Mars are fond of the sea. However, should you choose otherwise, they also assert that you have a great knack for unraveling se- crets and mysteries, and should make good Detectives. So, what will it be - Barnacle Bill, the Sailor or Sherlock Holmes for you? CP. S. Kid Crabs, otherwise known as CARMINE COVIELLOJ The Stars further say you have forceful personalities, are bold, determined, and self- confidentp fWhat a man, CHIULLID and that you are admirably fitted for the Medical or Engineering professions. fThat's a pretty good build-up, whichever way you look at it, DOMJ Now GLADYS, listen closely. Persons born between these dates are restless, emo- tional, passionate, hypnotic, and mystical. So, Gladys, keep 'em guessin,' and keep your charms and fascinations under control, for if you do not, you are doomed to 'Matrimonial Shipwreck.' So say the STARS! BEMIS -e Your birthday is especially mentioned. Here is the Message from Mars - Those whose birthday comes on November 20 will have much Business Prosperity and a happy Romance. 0 0 4 Last, but not least, is this prophetic reading of those whose birthdays fall between NOVEMBER 22 and DECEMBER 22. Your ruling Planet is IUPITER. Your lucky day is THURSDAY. Your lucky color is PURPLE. You are bright, cheerful, independent, loyal souls. Marriage will be happy and ini'-tunate, if you do not marry on impulse. I should say that life looks pretty good for you, HELEN The young men born under this Planet are destined to be the Great Lovers of the world, and the Upholders of Law and lustice. In Business and Finance they are generally success- ful, but not infrequently change their vocations more than once. fl thought only women were supposed to be fickle, but VASEL and ZADEH, it looks as though the Stars figure that you are a little that way yourselvesll Don't let the following make you feel too hi-hat, but you, OSTROWSKI, as a Child of lupiter, are said to possess a high order of intelligence: you are strong and virile, and should ellccel as a Lawyer, a Clergyman, a Traveler, or as a Soldier. CDoes your Draft Board know t is. So ends the Message of the Stars. The ASTROLOGER has spoken. Heed well her words, SWAMI ADI ONEMA. B.V. H. S. and Fate will be kind to you!

His reward has been richly deserved, and the Class of 1945 should be proud of him and of the fact that he is the first Brandeis boy to be thus acclaimed. TRACK Our Track Team, though somewhat lacking in numbers, gave a good account of itself. ln particular, Ted Lupino and David Neville were outstanding. In addition to win- ning the lOOO in 2 meets and placing in the others, Ted Lupino got a fourth in the final District Champion- ship shotput. David Neville gave our school some headlines by breaking the C District 220-yard dash record in the fast time of 25.2, and by winning every Quad Meet race. David Godfrey showed every promise of becoming a fine runner. Henry Query, Tom Olivolo, lames Zukowska, Charles Landrum, Leonard Robbins, Charles Lindsey, Harold Robinson, Robert Kelly, lohn Sullivan, Raymond Robak, Paul Downes, and William McCusker, all contributed to the season's effort.

NEWS FROM OUR BOYS IN THE SERVICE ,Q-Sal? . i sg, , ' Q E -ff X YI . , kk ' f These are exciting times for all people, but most particularly for the Youth of our great country. It has been an honor and privilege for Brandeis High to have learned of the many fine records made by its former students at home and abroad. Some have visited the school in person, and mighty grand they looked! Others have written of their experiences in far- away places. For auld lang syne we are relating some of these interesting accounts. 4 4 4 Sgt. Henry Hajenian CU. S. M. CJ writes: It's been all of a full month since I returned from Atlantic Field CBeaufort, North Carolinal after serving there as Sergeant of the Guard for Group 62. I don't mind telling you that the job I had down there made an important change in me, and it was a change for the good. In the two and a half months that I was there I learned one of the most important lessons of my life, and that was how to handle a body of men cor- rectly. It was tough at the start, but after a while it came to me naturally, so much so that I enjoyed it and tried all the harder to make good at it, despite the fact that it kept me from fly- ing. Believe me, it's tough for a person like me to put any effort into any job except flying, because I'd rather fly than eat. Well, as you know, I had twenty-four men under me in the brig detachment, but now that I am Sergeant of the Guard for the entire group, I have one hundred and twenty-seven men to take care of. These past months have made me realize just exactly what you teachers back in school had to put up with. It seems that I had to find out the hard way, that you can't expect a bunch of men to respect you and obey your orders if you show favoritism, and allow a few to go unpunished when they've done something wrong. I've gone by the code you set for me, and so far everything has been perfect. It all boils down to one thing: A man can't do his job the way it should be done, and expect everyone to like him, especially in a guard company. But I've also found out that although there is a dislike towards me shown by some people, those same people respect me for the same reason they dislike me. The only thing that's against me in a job such as the one I now have is my age. So I've kept it a secret from everyone who's ever worked for me. The ages of the men in my guard range anywhere from eighteen to thirty-seven years. All I can do is take it for granted that I'm doing all right, because the Major is recom- mending me for a promotion to Staff Sergeant. It might be two or three months before it goes through, but it is something to work for. fThe letter quoted above was sent to Mr. George F. Hill, Machine Shopj 4 4 4 Fri-gm grivate Carlo Patturelli, Class of '45. CSoon after his enlistment in December.J i, ang! Well, lam in Blanding, Florida, in the Infantry, and it isn't so bad. Well, one week's training so far, and it was easy, but as you keep going along it gets tougher and tougher. What I am training for is heavy weapons, which means 45-automatic, 30-caliber machine guns and mortarsp throwing a few hand grenades: and rifle practice also. Well, all this is going to take seventeen weeks. I expect to be home on a ten-day pass. Well, that's all fellers. Don't forget to write to me soon. Your pal, CARLO B.V. I-I. S. From Leo Cavossa, Class President, '42. KTO Mr. Midmanj The time has come again when you will have another group of young men before you for another school year. I am sure the newcomers are helping to make Brandeis one of the best schools in the city. No matter where I will be, so many thousands of miles away, will never get me to forget Brandeis. Down here in the Pacific there is a great deal of work to do, and I can say I'm doing my bit to help win. At this base our battalion are the only engineers, and also the only 'Air- bornes,' so the result is that we have a great deal of work to do. I have been working daily and every hour, in all kinds of weather. After a day's work here you are really tired and can really sleep. There were times when we were awake all night from air raids. But at present it seems to be a bit quiet. We have the laps up in the mountains, and are just waiting for them. It's some war and some country down here! I receive mail from two of your former pupils, George Marakoulas and Anthony Trotsky fClass of '42 alsol, who are both somewhere in Italy. They both met each other some time ago and had a swell evening together. I haven't met a person that I've known in civilian life. I did meet quite a number of boys in the States, before I went across. Best wishes to all, and the best of luck to the Class of '45. 4 4 4 Walter Luongo, Class President of '43, paid a number of visits to the school during his furloughs. He gave some interesting accounts of his varied experiences, first in the Camou- flage branch of the service, and then in the 'Phototopographical Department. In one of his most recent letters he writes: We have had all our overseas physicals and training. Now we have two more days to pack all our equipment and then we go on the field for nine days. When we come in from the field we will go on a twenty-four-hour alert, ready to move on the word. My only hope of seeing home again is if we have Boston or New York as our P.O.E. CPort of Embarkationl. Excuse the printing for I am sitting on the stairs writing, for that is the only place with the lights still on. Now they are going out. So long until I hear from you. CLetter to Mr. Midmanj In closing, may we express our wishes for them in the words of this toast: Happy are they metp Happy have they been, Happy may they part, and Happy meet again!
