CLASS PROPHECY COLLEGE PREPARATORY One 'lay while strolling through the laboratory, I suddenly felt very thirstv. Spying a bottle of water, I took a deep gulp. It tasted very queer. Swiftly I looked for the label which said H2S04—sulphuric acid. Suddenly all heaven brokd loose—millions of stars, balls of fire, rainbows, lightening! Next thing I knew I was in a strange land, standing before a sign which read 1964. While I was trying to figure out where I was, I saw nine six-footers in the midst of an argument. One was saying, “Gosh, 1 wonder what Mom's going to do. The other said, The last time she gave us each a terrible whipping, oh, here site comes now I They all began to tremble when they saw their mother, who was none other than my classmate, NANCY ROMANO. I began to run to her. but tripped. I-ooking down 1 saw bodies, and more bodies. For a moment I thought I was in a grave-yard, and then I heard the Voice. Going closer I saw Bing Sinatra—DOMENIC CAMPA-NE1.1.0, one and the same person. Just as I was about to swoon, the bandleader let out with some boogie-woogie, and the jitterbugs took over. One of the hepcats” fascinated me—her legs seemed to be made out of rubber. Cautiously I approached her ducking legs and arms, and recognized JOAN DOYLE! Don’t ask me how it happened, but the next thing I knew. I was strolling through a park. On one side of me I heard a politician telling the people why he would cheat them less than his opponent. The politician's voice was so strong and powerful, that the audience’s ears were bent. You’ve guessed—it's none other than AUGUSTINE RAMOS. Nearby ANTHONY SANTULI.I was running a stand where the people's ears are bent back into normal shape. ANT told me that he and his partner were splitting the profit fifty-fifty,—fifty cents for his partner, and fifty dollars for ANTHONY. While I was talking to ANT, six handsome marines passed by with a pretty girl. She was telling the marines how wonderful boys were—and talking so loud that she could be heard for miles around. She looked like JOSEPHINE ABATE—so I put on my glasses, and as it still looked like JO —I took Ant’s glasses and put them on mine. Why, it was JOSEPHINE ABATE! Feeling hungry, I wandered into a neary-by drug store and ordered a hamburger. The fellow seated next to me, kept grumbling, “Gosh, they don't put anything in these buns! My hamburger finally arrived, and 1 bit hungrily into it. Instead of tasting delicious, juicy hamburg—I tasted nothing. I opened up my bun—and I saw nothing. With a roar I yelled for the manager—out came MARGARET HIBBERT. When she saw an old classmate of hers, she took some of the hamburg from the safe and made me one. Just as I finished eating, the door opened. At first. I thought it was the effect of the hamburger. No person could be as fat as that—why she was at least six yards wide. Then the animated five-hundred pounds spoke, and I recognized the voice of CONCETTA MILI.EMAGGI! Finally. I saw behind her JEAN KERR who is known as the Walter Winchcll of her day. She told me of a case that had been baffling the doctors; IDA ANTONIO hadn’t spoken a single work in three months. (Now I believed in miracles!) While I was wondering what the world was coming to, a loud crash was heard. Running outside, I saw two drivers arguing over who had the right of way. Before I knew it, they begun tearing out each other's hair. Why BEATRICE OLIVER and LOUISE BONV1CIN! What a car can do to girls! Did you ever have the strangest desire at times Well. I did just then. Not having been in a school since I graduated in 1944. I decided to enter the portals of learning. I stopped before the door which said principal's office and knocked. Who do you think was principal? HERBERT HAYDEN! He was having an argument with a mother who insisted her son should have received A in chemistry. Thats right. YOLANDA SOLDANO, fight for your rights! They finally decided to sec the chemistry teacher, and I tagged along. As we drew nearer the lecture room, I heard a very familiar voice saying, Children, today we will discuss whether H20 is water, or water is H20. FRANCES ALFANO you certainly learned all Mr. Carlson could teach you. 29 KEY (A) TO BABY PICTURES ON PAC1E 38 30 I decided to complete my tour by visiting a church. The church was so crowded that the people were standing on the doorsteps. Wondering. I asked what was the great occasion. They told me the brilliant speaker was Father ROBERT BROWNELL, the man who knew all the answers, was present that night. About an hour later. I was walking up Washington St. on my way home. Murderous yells came from the way of the Guiteras Field. Thinking it a Bristol-Barrington game, I went over to the field. It Was a baseball game. Who was playing? Midgets coached by MARY FERRARA. I looked on in amazement, when one of the midgets hit a homer. Instead of going the other way. it came my way—knocking me right back to 1944. Walking up I saw the familiar faces of College Prep pupils looking down at me. For a moment I was tempted to tell them what I had seen—bur why spoil their fun? They’ll know in twenty years. ANGELA CIRJLLO. 1944. GENERAL CLERICAL Well tomorrow's the day. It won’t be long now! Imagine my first class reunion after ten years. I wonder what my classmates are doing now. Gee! They were some group, all of them with their futures planned. I wonder if their plans turned out. Oh. well. I think I’ll get some shut-eye before my big day tomorrow. Oh, it’s starting to get hazy in here, everything seems to be fading away. I feel as if I were drifting far away into the night, why, I must be dreaming. Everything is changing. It’s starting to clear again. . . Where am I? Gracious, what is this place? It looks like some of the places “Flash Gordon” visited in his comic strip. Z . . 0 . . O . .M ! What was that r It looked like a rocket ship, it went by so fast it almost took me with it. What’s all that commotion? Why, its two women fighting and pulling out each others hair. I wonder who they are’ I’ll get closer ... No ... it .. . can't be. but yes. it is ANITA TRAVERS and JOSEPHINE COGGESHALL going to blows over some man. it seems that Anita, yes little shy Anita, has won the affections of Josephine’s husband. I never thought that of Anita. She has already had three husbands, and she's still looking for alimony. One never knows! What’s this on all the billboard signs in town, why everywhere I look it says. “Meet Luc, the Army Pin-Up Girl Here comes someone now. Why, its LUCA ANNA-RUM MO and she looks like she is running away from . . . no. it can’t be but it is. yes, LUCY ANNARUMMO is running away from sailors and shouting for help. I've seen everything now. W . . H . . I . . Z! There it goes again, that rocket ship. I wonder who’s driving it. It keeps going back and forth every few seconds. I 11 find out yet! I wonder what's down the next highway. I think I’ll look. Gee, this is marvelous, air-plane hangers everywhere, well I knew they would replace garages someday. Oh. there’s someone bailing out of an airplane up above, lands right in front of me Gee. that person sure looks familiar. Why its LENORA ESTRELLA. Lee. what are you doing bailing out of airplanes? It seems that Lee was going for a hop with her boy-friend, and they started arguing so she bailed out. She now runs an escort bureau, and supplies the men with the girlfriends. N ou see. in this day and age. all the women are in the services, yes. they took over the country and the men are suffering a women shortage, but Lee takes care of the men. Where's all that music coming from? Boy. it sure is solid. What’s that 1 . . 2 . . .1 kick. 1 . . 2 • . 3 . . kick, why it’s a whole line of people doing the Conga, on the sidewalk. They're all going around the street and look who is leading them. STELLA PAGANO. She certainly has changed. She now runs some dancing school, her slogan is. Six Lessons from Madame Pagano or Else.” Here it comes again. Doggone it! I’m going to find out who that is that keeps whizzing by. What is this coming down the street telling everyone to buy V ilkie buttons. Is he still trying to get in? Look its ANNA GEORGE Yes, Annie’s a politician and expects some day to be governor of our state. Whoa! There it comes again. The rocket-ship! Wish I could stop it. A theatre—this looks like a nice show. I wonder what's playing. I think I’ll go in and see. W hy, there is a dance going on. music. Regular South American jazz, that girl is good. I think 111 move in closer and see who it is. Why. she does look like someone I knew. The announcer addressed her a:; “Sabuna The South American Hot-Cha Girl.” It looks like. why. it is just who it is. AGNES VIERA. Well, well she’s now Number One club entertainer. Think I’ll 31 KEY (B) TO BABY PICTURES ON PAttE 38 32 go out (or some air, I sure need it. Oh, oh, I better duck in again, here it conies, that darn rocket, why it’s stopping here.

The first women to drive a rocket ship, a second Amelia Earhart. There is one girl whom 1 haven't seen around and that’s SUSIE CUPOLO, poor girl, I hear that she was put away a few years ago. it seems that Sue owned a Record Shop and was still trying to sell some old, very old Sinatra recordings. I told her that someday Frank Sinatra would go to her head. No truer words were spoken. It’s starting to get dark now and everything is melting away. I'm hack to l'M4 now and what a relief! I hope our reunion holds a better future for my class than my strange adventure showed. ELEANOR ALMEIDA '44 GENERAL CLASS After an absence of twenty-five years, I finally returned to my old home town, Bristol. As I was coming down Hope Street, I noticed several changes in the town. Chiefly of which, was a huge cathedral whose solemn Gothic spires rose heavenward in awsome majesty. Several people were coming out of the doors and I was happily urprised when I recognized Mr. and Mrs. JOHN CONNERY and their five children. Mrs. Connery is the former OLGA TEX El R A. I entered the cathedral and saw a very grave, dignified clergyman, a bishop. Why! It’s JOHN JASON, I said hello” and a-ked about some of my former classmates. I was told that CHARLES ALFRED had become secretary to the President of Our Country. On inquiring I was told that the president was none other than another classmate, CARMELLA RUSSO. I bid farewell to the bishop, and continued niv walk. Down the street where my attention was attracted by a huge crowd that was gathered about a long nosed, side-show barker. I drew nearer and found that the barker was LEONARD DE LUCA. He wfas expounding the merits of one particular monstrosity, the bearded lady, who. on closer observation, proved to be another old classmate. BETTY JEAN CAMPANELLA. Suddenly, my nostril became aware of a strange scent. There must be a glue factory burning somewhere near. No. there's the reason coming down the street—ROSWELL BOSWORTH. who has become the inside man at the ‘‘Skonk Works.” In my hurry to escape I almost tripped over a little old lady who was selling apples on the street corner. Why! There was something familiar about her. Of course, it's EUNICE BEIRNEI I went hack to see the Colt Memorial High School. My first stop was at the principal's office where the office girl seemed strangely familiar. I inquired and found that the girl, one of the seven daughters of Mr. and Mrs. ROBERT ALMEIDA, the Mrs. being the former DOROTHY REILLY who were celebrating their twenty-first wedding anniversary today. I was told that the principal would see me, and I entered the inner office to find SALVATOR PARELLA reading over some reports. After a brief visit. I asked permission to look over the school. I went to Room Five to find a class in trigonometry taught by RALPH CEI.ONF.. I left Colt High and went over to the Andrews High where a tall mart with a strikingly athletic figure was teaching a gym class. It was Coach GERALD McKENNA. I left the high school and passed the Pastime Theatre where c n the billboard I policed a poster and found the famous actress of the day to be ANNE SOUSA, the new oomph girl! Then I saw coming down the street, a large parade. At the head was a car which contained a great hero. RAN MOND FRANCIS, who had flown around the world in four and a half hours. Further back in the line. I saw as leader of a band of girl scouts, niv old classmates. GEORGE PINHF’IRO; while at the head of a well trained hand of NYAC’s was ALICE FRF'ITAS. I left the parade and turned down a street where I saw coming toward me a girl dressed in a huge sun bonnet, overalls and wearing no shoes. It was LOUTSE USHER. Always knew you'd be a good farmer. Louise. I heard a lot of noise coming from the direction of the water front. I hurried down to find that the fishing fleet had just come ip from the Portsmouth Fishing Banks. The captain, standing at the helm of one of the boats, was ELIZABETH SOUSA.—The world's greatest fisherwoman. I returned to Hope Street where a sign 33 that read MADAME IRENE, beautician. So IRENE MARTIN was running a successful hairdressing business. I beard a loud noise, and the door of the establishment opened and out came that famous movie actress MURIEL SYLVIA leading six dogs, and followed by her maid. KATHLEEN BRITO. I proceeded up Hope Street and entered the Y.M.C.A. where I saw another schoolmate, VINCENT SECURO, the janitor. I left the town of Bristol pretty well convinced that my fellow members of the General Class of 1944 had become a very successful group. FREDERICK CLEAVER. 1944 INDUSTRIAL ARTS 1963—A year marked by glorious inventions! I stand ready to make the final test on my super-telescope, after nine years of continued research and experiments. As I point the long stem downward toward earth, I wonder what has become of the dear friends of my high school days. Tensely I grip the controls, slowly focusing the powerful lens on the planet I left so long ago. Success! My pulses pounded with joy. Through the mist and haze I can sec HAROLD GIFFORD blissfully snoozing on a hammock, swinging amidst frothy trees on a spacious lawn. A musical gong strikes the lunch hour and he leisurely stretches a hand out pressing a lever. Low' and behold! Out of the ground rises a magnificent structure and yes, yes—I can smell the hamburgers sizzling in golden butter. You're a lucky man Harold, and I know your dinner shall be a great success. Overjoyed with the success of my invention I move the lens further South. In searching around, my eyes fairly pop; for who is this lucky lad surrounded by beautiful girls, at this skyline rendezvous? I'm sure of it. ves. it is none other than ANTHONY ARPAIA in red silk shorts, demonstrating to perfection the art of modern dancing. I envy you Anthony, yes. especially those beautiful women. Must be a storm coming my way. the lens seem conjested with a cloudy substance. But no. if I’m not mistaken, this is Pittsburgh, dear old dirty Pittsburgh. And what is this looming out of the black mist? A high white planetarium. As I gaze pensively through the glass room, whom do I see but JOHN BISBANO directing the operation of a strange object, and a pure milky liquid flows freely into fancy nint bottles. Why its a huge cultivated cocoanut being used to produce the cities' milk. Once a milk man. always a milk man. eh. John? Now. what is this? All I can make out of this nightmare is a conglomeration of bulls flying furiously across the western plains. That face, yes! I recognize it now. It’s BERNARD ESPOSITO and those aren’t bulls but the wonder-boys of his football •quad, wearing horns instead of helmets. My Bernard. I'd hate to be on the other team that plays against you. A powerful glitter seems to draw the lens as if a magnetic ray were forcing my eyes to rest upon a beautiful array of gold and silver candle stick holders, sparkling with gems. And there sitting at a bench in the middle of the room is none other than SAMUEL HACKLEY busying himself with the fine art of creating exclusive candlestick holders. A far cry from the plain, wooden ones he used to make in school. What is this obstructing my view? Why its a floating airplane repair station; what will they think of next! There seems to be two very excited young men arguing frantically about something or other. As it draws nearer I see that it is none other than NORBERT COSTA and DENNIS SOUSA repairing a flying machine. They al ways did seem to work better and achieve more wdien arguing. Moving the telescope. I spy a large metropolis. Could this be Bristol? Why it is. and there in the center of town is ANTHONY GARCIA'S Manufacturing Company. I believe this is the same plant that produced aviation boots in the last war. Anthony must have done some climbing to become the sole owner of this great and prosperous factory. It seems that he often comes to the factory at 2:30 from force of habit. And what is happening at good old Colt? Dancing daily during school hours, assemblies daily, including motion pictures, followed by cartoons of Popeye and Mickey Mouse. And why not? For who is the principal but GEORGE OLIVER living up to the rule that. “All play and no work makes Jack a bright, boy. Guess I’ll take a peak into the E. • R. Class. Whom do I find trying to teach the 35 fundamentals of Radio but LOUIS LAGARTO. Surrounding him is an immense class of five boys. Times haven't changed much, have they Louis Now who is this tall, lanky man addressing some youngsters who are peacefully fishing? Yes, I can see his face, its WILLIAM DI SALVO, the town's new truant officer explaining to the boys the necessity of attending school. But what's this? The boys hold up three large fish that they have caught and Bill, easily persuaded, sits down beside them to try his luck. Watch out for the nippers. Bill. On my way out of Bristol. I see a private train-way skimming over the tree tops leading to Warren. My lens begin to fade slowly but before it completely fades, I can just make out JOHN GOULART seated in the car larden down with flowers and candy. If I took a bus to Warren as often as he did I’d build a train-way, too. At this time the lens completely faded away but I have seen most of my former classmates and enjoyed every minute of it. With my mission a success, I expect soon to be going back to the planet I yearn for so much. LINCOLN F1SKE, '44 COMMERCIAL “U. K. Suckers, Phrenologist —to use slang, a bumpologist—was not a comforting sight to face but my friend urged me on, so with misgiving, I entered a large room, very modernistic. Large mirrors on black wall paper, red lights of shape most strange, and a large table covered with chromium, at which was seated a tall woman, swathed in white, a white turban, on the front of which was a cluster of diamonds. On her fingers, rings where fiery opals sparkled. Madame Vales-resque invited me to sit down and she would read my bumps. Something went wrong when Madame Vales-resque pressed one of the bumps on my head, fot I seemed to shoot into darkness and found myself in a very strange world. The year, I discovered, was 1964. I came upon a modern looking building but the entrance was hard to discover. But soon I heard a strong voice explaining a new system for staying slim yet eating all you wished for—at the same time. Soon the person appeared. Why! it was my old friend CRIMILDA PONTES. No, but it couldn't be, she had lost about one hundred pounds. As she explained her method, Crimilda had in front of her, a dish of ice cream, reminiscent of her old school days. She led me over to two huge rollers, and between them was a poor student being rolled back and forth. The result was admirable I But what an extreme method for obtaining it. 1 wandered out again and bumped into a sandwichman over ten feet tall. A hearty voice greeted me from above, and lo and behold, it was my friend MATTHEW COR-KICELLI. Apparently his ambition to be a musician had faded into something less strenuous. Remember those talks about musician dues. Matt? Strains of soft Hawaiian music reached my ears. What a huge gathering, and all men, too. MURIEL LEWIS, a luscious hula-hula dancer and while she danced she managed to strum her guitar with her toes. I could well see why the gathering was all men. Maybe it was a hangover from the high school operetta. Left, Right, Left .... 1” What in tarnation was this coming down the street? A regiment of little boys and girls! At its head was my friend FERNANDA NUNES. She explained that she had finally married. Hmmm! and she was the one who didn’t want to be married. Oh. girls! Again I was shot through darkness and landed at an air field. Gee Willikers! what a beautiful pair of bulging byccps, and when she turned around it was none other than MARGARET PARTINGTON—what an amazing change. She explained that she was teaching Aviation Cadets their building up exercises. I always knew Margaret was interested in those cadets. Next was a queer looking contraption resembling an airplane built upside down. It's creator was none other than PAULINE AGUAR. whose idea was to fly underground. Imagine dainty “Paul working among those queer contraptions. Thought you were interested in a certain (?) sophomore, “Paul?” All of a sudden. I was let down in the middle of Constitution Street; on my left was a huge building, reading LAURA GASPAR’S Publishing Co. I walked into the building and met Laura as she was walking about with an important looking sheaf of papers. Greetings exchanged, Laura informed me she printed little books with addresses of all the good looking boys, both local and from out of town. I guessed that dated 37 back to that little blue book she used to have in school days. Huh, Laura? After being shot through darkness again. I heard the strains of “There’s Something About a Soldier” being played, and peaking inside Carnegie Hall 1 saw NANCY THOMPSON at the piano and with an overseas soldier seated by her side, to whom she had dedicated the song. What happened to Grant, Nancy? Later I saw the sign LYDIA SOUSA'S Cleaning Done for Marines Only. 1 seemed to recall a Marine somewhere in Lydia’s life but she gave me to understand she was not married—she enjoyed business too much 1 Oh, well......... Let me see, there is one more, MIRIAM MYERSON, wonder where she is and what she is doing? Looking her up in the telephone book, I found her listed as a famous dog and cat specialist When I called her up she informed me that she had to go to her next case—to file poor Fifi's nails. Well success to you. Miriam. Then 1 asked about MARY VALES but, oh 1 that was some crack over the head and I rubbed my eyes and found myself not in the Valesquerian parlor but seated in Room III—day dreaming. Unwittingly, someone had hit me on the head with his desk cover, enabling me to see into the future. ALDA ALMEIDA KEY A TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 39 KEY B TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 32 1. Mary R.

LAURA GASPAR WINTER Oh. how the waves all crash and thunder loud Against the rocks caressed by swirling spray; And seagulls circle, turn and wheel about— Their feathers dulled to misty bluish-grav. No golden rays of sunshine pierce the gloom Of winter skies. Great clouds spread thick and dark And threatening over all, as if their power Were wrought by God's command, and bore His mark. Yet why does winter fascinate me so. And hold me spellbound and in silent awe? For this but proves that other seasons lack The glory and the magic in its store. Such somber beauty floods my very soul. Is this a prelude to a heavenly goal? LOUISE BONVICIN. ’44 MY ENGLISH TEACHER (With apologies to Milton) When I consider how my night is spent O’er all this work which nearly drives me wild. Forgetting that I am a person mild To my inner feelings 1 give vent; This is the petition I present; Why doth thou exact this labor, inspiration denied ? My sole talent, which I can easily hide. Is useless to a poet, lest he be music-bent. Most soulful poets with a gifted inner sight. In lovely words their feelings arc expressed. The world listens to the things they have to say. Though hard I try and try with all my might I find in spite of all my thoughts suppressed. The reasons simple—I have naught to say. JEAN KERR. ’44 41 “I LL GET BY AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU” About twenty years ago there was a young man known as Duke Grayson—handsome, merry, charming—but cynical. He was one of those people who didn’t believe anything that couldn’t be proven outright or seen. And if you tried to tell him there was some good in human nature—well—he’d just laugh outright. He was a prominent member of the “Wolfs” —a gang known widely for their mad. thoughtless antics. One warm night in June, about seven o’clock, he went down to their favorite hangout— Tony’s Spa—to wait for his pal, Joe. He and Joe had a date with two girls from out-of-town. Before the night was over. Duke was positive all his money would be wasted in some bar, buying drinks for the girls. Most of the gang was in the store—smoking and eating ice-cream. Duke bought a coke, and strolled over to one of the open windows. His careless glance became fixed. Across the street, demurely seated on the doorsteps of Mary King's house, was a girl. Duke could see long, dark hair—very white skin—and dreamy green eyes, heavily lashed. Every once in awhile she would smile heart-warminglv at Mary—showing pearl teeth and a deep dimple. The boys were whistling at her and making “cracks,” but she didn’t pay any attention. “Hey, Duke!” jibed “Rat” McGinnis, “I bet that’s one girl you couldn’t get to first base with.” “You wouldn’t want to bet on that —now would you, ‘Rat’?” Duke grinned tauntingly. “I betcha two bucks.” “Okay! Here's my money. This is going to be the easiest dough I’ve ever earned.’’ Straightening his tie, he strolled whistling from the store. All the fellows crammed near the windows, straining their neck to see Duke's famous technique in action. When Duke appeared before them the two girls looked up—Regina Christley with amazement—and Mary King w'ith quizzical eyes seeming to say—“Lay off pal. she isn’t your type!” Grudgingly Mary introduced him, Duke seated himself and began a casual conversation. Regina’s voice was typical of her—sweet. On the surface Duke appeared his usual self—but something was happening to him inside. All the ice around his heart was melting—and tenderness was creeping into it and something else. Something that made him feel intensely alive and yet—curiously humble. Something—an unusual thought came to Duke—something that made him feel blessed by God. As the days passed, everyone began to marvel at the changed Duke . He no longer chased after girls and stayed out until all hours of the night. Instead of being the one who was always in a “jam.” the fellows came to him for advice now. He treated all the girls with a gentleness which was enough for any of the gang to doubt tbeir hearing and eyesight. About six months later there one night appeared this paragraph in the daily paper: “Mr. and Mrs. George Christley wish to announce the engagement of their daughter, Regina, to John Grayson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John Grayson.” Duke was walking on air these days. One night, about a week previous to the wedding day .he hurried excitedly to Regina’s house, to tell her about the desk that would fit just right in his study. Bursting through the door, he yelled. “Regina, where are you? I’ve got something to tell you. honey.” Regina was upstairs being fitted for her bridal gown, but when she heard Duke's voice she nimbly jumped from the stool and ran out. Her mother wailed, running after her. “Regina, it’s bad luck for Duke to see you in your wedding dress.” But to no use—Regina was already out of hearing. For a fieeting moment Regin t was poised at the head of the stairway—so beautiful, that Duke didn’t dare to breath. The next moment she was Hying down the stairs—but. halfway down, she suddenly stopped, clutching her heart, and with a helpless cry—“Duke!”—she crumbled to the stairs, Duke was paralyzed b the suddeness of events, and by the time he had realized what was happening. Regina's body had rolled down the rest of the way— stopping at his feet. Shall I say Regina’s corpse—for the heart attack had been fatal. The days went by and Duke received the condolences of his friends with a dazed, unseeing look. Nightimo he’d torture himself recalling vividly the nightmarish scene. When he did manage to doze off a few' moments, he’d dream of Regina—those lovely green eyes, that smile he had so loved, her sweetness— and he’d awaken, crying out longingly for her. His friends began to fear for his sanity, and spoke seriously of sending him to a sanitarium. But suddenly he was the same Duke— the Duke of those happy days when he was courting Regina. His friends wondered at this transformation—but were too grateful and thankful to ask questions. I suppose you’re asking, “What brought about this seeming miracle?” One day Duke was in his study, playing over 42 and over his and Regina’s song— TI1 Get By As I.ong As I Have You —while in his heart the question kept bitterly repeating itself— How ran I get by when 1 no longer have you, Regina?” Then a swret voice whispered into his ear, “But you’ll always have ine, darling.” looking up he saw Regina, the Regina of his memories. He made as if to rise, but she motioned him to stay seated. “I have just a second, Duke, but I want to say you'll always have me. For I’m not dead, as long as I’m living in your heart.” Then she vanished as swiftly as she came, but Duke no longer felt alone. He’d see Regina some day—but until that day, he’d lavish his great love on his fellow-beings. The other day I noticed in the obituary column the death of the famed humanitarian, John Grayson. Jr. Duke has joined his Regina. ANGELA CIRILLO. VICTORY POEM At the corner of Main Street When twilight draws near. You'll hear a Ford motor— Then Sue will appear. She'll tear ’round the corner In her old V-8 Attired in overalls In a terrible state. Her face is all grimy Her hair, tied up tight. You’ll have to agree. She's a terrible sight. V for Vict’ry’s her cue— Sue’s not one who will shirk As a welder at Rheem’s She does plenty of work. LOUISE BONVICIN. ’44 HYPOTHESIS OF THE EQUINOX Oh the seasons of the year How they come and disappear! When one is here, you want the other; When that is here, you want another. Winter comes with its ice and cold. And how the wind sweeps down—so bold. A blanket of snow covers the earth. To make it look like a land of mirth. Flowers and leaves come along with Spring, And the little birds begin to sing. Then comes summer in the month of June But goes again so very soon. Frost comes fall and the trees become bare. Everyone loves its crisp cool air. JOHN CONNERY. ’44 MEMORIES When twilight steals upon us And swiftly flies the day We dream and then remember Of hours long passed away. We think of you. dear High School The school we soon must leave. The days we’ll always treasure From them our dreams we’ll weave. Although appreciation Has not been always shown, We now see your true merits Your worth at last is known. For you have been a symbol Of all that's just and true And also guide and teacher Of love and honor, too. So as night shades are falling And twilight hour departs, A feeling of affection Creeps gently in our hearts. Tears glisten on our lashes Smiles round our lips do play. We think of our dear High School Where pleasant was each day.

JOHN GOULART 44 FATE (A One-Act Play) Characters: Mr. and Mrs. Windsor, their son, Eric, and a Guard. Scene: A Japanese prison camp deep in the tropical jungles. In a dingy, one-room hut lighted only by the sun’s failing rays, two figures can he dimly distinguished—one a woman and the other a small boy. Their dress.—in spite of the ragged condition, identifies them as Americans,—Christina Windsor and her son, Eric—who had been captured by the Japanese at the time of their invasion. As the scene opens Christina is trying to con-side her son. Christina: Now, Eric, I want you to promise Mummy that you’ll behave just the way Daddy told you to. There’s nothing to be afraid of. We will be kept here only until Daddy can explain things to the men. Eric: Hut Mummy, why does Daddy take so long? He’s been gone ’most the whole day. Christina: Well, he ... he probably has to tell the story from the very beginning. Eric. You know, how we came to this little island and then couldn’t leave because of the war. And besides, maybe the men don’t understand Daddy as well as you or I. Eric: Yes, Mummy, I guess you’re right. I heard them talking and they sounded awfully funny and . . . Christina: Hush, dear, the guard is coming. Maybe Daddy’s through by now. (The guard looks in through the barred window, and Christina notices that he has a sneering smile on his face). Guard: Aha! One would say that you seem a little anxious, my dear Mrs. Windsor. Now tell me, did you really expect us to allow your husband to live, let alone go free? Christina: (in a low, startled voice)—What do you mean ? Guard: It is only natural that you Americans expect mercy from our most honorable emperor. since your propaganda states that mercy is one of your most practiced ideals.

Your husband is now beyond any mercy expected by the United States’ Government. Hut do not look so terrified, so startled. For you still have several hours to live. And with that hopeful news. I beg you to excuse me. for other duties are called to my attention. (The guard leaves and Mrs. W'indsor stands staring at the floor, then speaks, almost as if in a dream.) Christina: Dead! Hill, dead! Only last night we were together and now I’ll never see him again. Hut wait, Chris, don’t you remember those pills, four little white pills, pills that will put you to sleep, deep sleep, in five minutes?— Yes, that’s the only way out First two for Eric, then two for myself. Deep, deep sleep. Yes. (IxK king up finally, she notices Eric who is huddled in a corner, asleep. She walks slowly to him and lifts him up in her arms. Then she carries him to a small cot in the other dark corner of the room. She looks at him tenderly for a minute, then gently wakes him.) Christina: Eric. Eric, dear, wake up. I want you to take these two little pills. Then you can go back to sleep again. Eric: (sleepily) But. Mummy, where's Daddy? Hasn’t he come back yet? Christina: No. dear, not yet. Here are the pills. That’s right. Eric. Now, before you go to sleep again, hug Mummy very tightly, will you? Oh. Eric, my baby, it's better this way! Now. goodnight, my darling. And now it's time to swallow my two pills.— One. —two It’s over now’. I have only five minutes to live (she hears footsteps) and looks up to see the guard grinning down at her. Then he speaks. Guard: Mrs. Windsor, your guest is here. The one you've been waiting for. Christina: My guest (Begins to feel drowsy.) The only person I was waiting for way my husband. But he's . . . Guard: Yes. he’s here. Christina: Oh. what have I done? Hill. Bill! Bill: It's all right. Chris, darling. But what's the matter? Christina: Oh. Hill, they told me you were dead. So I . . .

STELLA PAGANO We hear our Alma Mater And back our thoughts are flung To the day we entered High School— We had heard her praises sung. Though we were but lowly Sophomores We experienced the thrill Of bragging about her beauty— And cheering her on to win. We advanced, and now were Juniors Hard work—but with a crown For long about the month of May We held our Junior Prom. Now we're in our Senior year The height we’d struggled for. And though we worked much harder We're reluctant that it’s o’er. For n'er again at any time As on through life we go Will we experience the same joy That High School helped us know. We’ll miss our friends and teachers Our beautiful marble hall But the whole world can.be certain We'll forget them last of all. JOAN E. DOYLE. '44 SPRING I walked through forests of w'oodland pine. With my two dogs trailing by my side. The sun was peering through the trees. And the branches swayed gavly in the breeze. The birds arc nesting in the trees. And near me, swarm a nest of bees. For all the cheery sounds I hear, I know that Spring is really here. ELIZABETH SOUS .

GASPAR) 50 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September, 1941, came and we were sophomores at Colt Memorial High School at last. Everyone was filled with mixed emotions, for who knew what was ahead? Our rooms were assigned and excitedly we greeted our new teachers. When our spirits hail calmed down a little later in the year, we elected the following class officers: President - - George Oliver Vice-President - - Ralph Celone Secretary - - Louise Bonvicin Treasurer - - Pauline Aguar As sophomores we joined the social whirl of clubs, dances, and of course sports, which all added much to our enjoyment. Many of us attended the A. A. Dance on December 5th held in honor of Coach Warren Huston who left for Newton, Massachusetts, soon afterwards. After the summer vacation, we entered Colt again this time as ambitious juniors. It was the last part of October when we chose our junior officers: President - - Ralph Celone Vice-President - - Charles Alfred Secretary - - I-ouisc Bonvicin Treasurer - - Herbert Hayden Executive Board - - Frances Alfano, John Connery, James Martin, Mary Vales, George Oliver and Susie Cupolo. The gala event of the year was our Junior Prom. Festive auditorium decorations were green and gold—our class colors—which blended with all the loveliness and gaiety of gowns, streamers, and balloons. It certainly was a never-to-be forgotten event. Thus in our last year, PAW. we returned—elated—as Seniors to elect our class officers for the last time: President - - George Oliver Vice-President - - Ralph Celone Secretary - - Louise Bonvicin Treasurer - - Herbert Hayden Executive Board - - Frances Alfano, James Martin. Vincent Securo. Robert Brownell. Domenic Campanclla. Charles Alfred and Augustine Ramos. To our great satisfaction. “Jerry of Jericho Road, our Senior Operetta was successfully presented after much fun at rehearsals. Our attention then turned to other school activities—attending the annual gym exhibition, taking pictures for the year book, editing the “Green and White,” and last but not least planning for the Senior Reception. Now it is with regret that we leave Colt Memorial, but we will always have its memories to cherish in years to come. LOUISE BONVICIN, Secretary. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of '45 first entered Colt Memorial High School in September 1942. Our first year was an eventful one in spite of the fact that we did not even elect officers. However, the Sophomores were very active in all school activities. They were everpresent at all school dances, staunch supporters at athletic games and some were fortunate enough to obtain bids to the Junior Prom. The vear passed rapidly and graduation came all too soon. After a delightful summer, we returned to school in September. Early in the year at our first class meeting, we elected the following officers : John Mello President Matthew Mactoza Vice President Cynthia McCaw Secretary Mary Paiva Treasurer Before we realized it plans were being made for the Annual Christmas Entertainment, in which the Juniors participated by producing two very humorous plays. The Industrial Arts boys showed their histrionic ability in their clever presentation of the Case of the Missing Squash.” The Christmas Holidays presented by the College Preparatory. General group was also much enjoyed by the student body. The big event of the year, of course, was the Junior Promenade, held on May 19th from nine to twelve o’clock. The auditorium presented a most attractive picture as the boys and girls waltzed happily about this long anticipated occasion. Now that we look back on our Junior year, we realize it was certainly one to remember. CYNTHIA McCAW '45. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 8. 1943, the portals of Colt Memorial opened wide to welcome us as sophomores.

Velleca, Morcn, Roderiqucs, Mirahassi. FOOTBALL Considering the loss of several valuable players, Colt did well against strong opposition this year. Only two league teams: the boys from up-countree Burrillville and the boys from Barrington; had a chance to down our team. The season opened with a tight game between Colt and Cranston. The offense in this game was taken by Cranston in the third period, when they scored two touchdowns, leaving the final score 12-0. Considering the fact that this Cranston team was a class A team, the Colts did comparatively well. By this time the s juad had been given a chance to organize well and its best players were coming into the limelight. “Mack” McCaw and Art Jordan showed their forward drive ability in the Roger-Colt game. Jordan took the hall over from the 14-yard line in the second period, while McCaw took it over in both the third and fourth periods. The final score was 18-0 in our favor. A 13-yard pass from “Ed” Hackley connected with “Matt” Maetoza in the fourth quarter of the Aldrich-Colt game, and brought the score to 6-0. This touchdown, being the only one, was started from the Colt’s 20-yard line. Along the way. “Bob” McHugh made two substantial gains. Next on the schedule was Country Day. The Colts were now gaining momentum and this game was a breather for the now frisky Colts. Ralph Celone. “Mack” McCaw and Ralph Cirillo were the scorers of the game. Celone accounted for 12 points, while Cirillo and McCaw each accounted for 6 points apiece. “X” Esposito came through with 3 out of 4 conversions, bringing the final score to Colt—27 and Country Day—6. The next game brought the Pawtucket West—Class A team to Guiteras Field. The Pawtucket aerial offense clicked brilliantly and brought the final score of that team to 25. Colt went ahead in the first quarter when Jordan and Celone carried the ball to Pawtucket’s 6-yard line, where Celone brought Colt’s final score to 6. Colt shaded out De LaSalle in a very tight game to start the Interscholastic Football Contests between Colt and other Class C teams. The Colt score had its beginning. when De I-aSalle punted out of bounds to the Colt 34-yard line. With Celone. McHugh and Jordan carrying the ball Colt shoved to the Newporters’ 16. From there Maetoza shot a pass to Cirillo who scored. Esposito place-kicked the successful conversion. MsCaw also played a brilliant game. De I aSalle came forth with a touchdown hut was unsuccessful with the point after leaving the score at 7-6. Portsmouth Priory was the site of the next game which ended with a score of Colt 26 to the Priory's 6. McCaw scored two touchdowns, while Hackley and Celone each scored one. Armistice Day was the day of the season’s most popular and the most classic of games. The determined Warren boys came to Bristol with high hopes, hut left in a v � -y different manner. The Bristol Colt’s outplayed the Warren team mostly by power plays, because of the wet and cold weather. The first Co t touchdown occured in the ;econd period, following a blocked punt by Warren on its 34-yard line. The extra point kick was blocked leaving the score at the halves at 6 to 0. Both teams came back fighting. The second score was made when Warren fumbled and Colt plugged away at the Warren line until a touchdown was made.

The Burrillville game, another classic, was next on the schedule. During the first half the Colt’s and up-countree hoys were evenly matched, both taking to the air to score. At the beginning of the second half Burrillville scored after several long gains and scored again in the fourth quarter on a long pass. Colt’s offensive clicked for a last quarter score by McHugh, then Burrillville gained possession of the ball and held it for the last few minutes. Cirillo and Maetoza sparked Colt’s offense while McCaw carried the burden on defense. The final score was Burrillville 20 to Colt’s 12. Colt's final game was played at Barrington on Thanksgiving Day. Outplaying the unscored upon Barrington eleven for three periods Colt Memorial went down in defeat during the last period of the game. It was a tough game for us to lose.
