What should we do? What are the beacons which guide us through the devious way? As we can profit by other men’s example, their method will often aid us to choose the right road. Such a model for us is our late president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a figure known and respected throughout this wide world. His unfailing labor to uplift the common people to security and prosperity is one which has never been equaled in the history of our country. Mr. Roosevelt's own code of living and honor, sincerity, integrity, and charity was undoubtably the reason for the humanitarism so prevalent in his outline for final success. Always he was sincere; regardless of the fact that he was against the reckless ravaging in the countries of the warring world, his voice powerfully proclaimed at Casablanca, “Unconditional Surrender!” Sincerely Mr. Roosevelt, who believed in a permanent peace, felt this was the best method of procuring it, in spite of the fact that it was against all our democratic principles, the calmness we were fighting for, and would be driving the day of Axis surrender far ahead. Mr. Roosevelt wanted definite peace. Integrity followed. Wasn’t it characteristic of him to inform us that, at the beginning of the war, we were facing disaster because our country was unprepared and our armies were weak? We all knew it of course but excuses could have been invented and propaganda spread to console our wrinkled, worried minds. The most significant of all to this man was charity practiced until the day of his death. Constantly he advocated bills to aid our Allies; a greater and a more personal indication was his press conferences where he was cheerful and helpful to everyone. Perhaps most fundamental to his success was his perseverance shown first during the dark days when he suffered from infantile paralysis. In spite of his crippled body he struggled from a lowly lawyer to assistant Secretary of the Navy, Governor of New York State, upward, always, trying to climb to a higher rung. When finally the Presidency, a new success! Still in spite of holding the highest office in the land he was not content to stop, but kept working always towards his goal. Great men never fully realize their objectives because their aims are so far reaching that full achievement may not be possible in a generation. Only little men with little objectives attain full success, for their purposes are tiny and insignificant. We may never be completely successful; we may succeed in minor things. Some of us may reach superior heights but we must all aim our arrow of ambition at the loftiest peaks. ASSOCIATE EDITOR.

OVJR FUTUfff Joseph Mu es V5 CLASS PROPHECY COLLEGE PREPARATORY One Sunday I was invited by a friend of mine to see and criticize a new machine that he had invented. When I arrived, he showed me to a large room where there stood a queer “contraption.” He said that it was a tide machine for into the future, the distance to be determined by a dial. Suddenly I realized he wanted me to make the first test and before I could climb out of the machine which I had mounted in order to examine it, he had shut the door. A huge cloud of black smoke arose from the floor and blotted out my vision. I quickly grasped the dial, set it for twenty years hence and waited. Slowly but surely the machine stopped I grabbed the handle and opened the door. Ah, it had worked there I was in some town, which upon closer examination proved to be Bristol in 1965. Bristol was much the same except for one “Super Service” gas station on the north side of Wood Street. It was very large and serviced airplanes and heliocopters as well as automobiles. Curious, I entered the office to find the owner and was greatly surprised to find JOSEPH BERRETTO seated at the desk. After a short chat with him I started to cross the street, when I noticed a sign reading: “Dave’s Beauty Parlor, The Best and Latest Hairdos.” The name sounded familiar so I peeked in the window and saw DAVID MATHEWSON giving his staff of female hairdressers a lesson on the latest styles. For a better view of the town, I hailed a taxi and had just climbed in when I realized that the driver was none other than JOSEPH GIUSTO, who proceeded to give me a short history of the town since 1945. He told me that there was a new establishment on the corner of Hope and Court Street which should interest me. Leaving the taxi at this corner, I climbed a short flight of stairs and was confronted with three doors. While I was deciding which one to open, I heard some one saying, “1, 2, 3, 4.—bend, w-a-y o-v-e-r—1, 2, 3, 4,—” quickly I opened the door at my left and saw MARY PAIVA who told me she was a world-famous ladywrestler, and her most capable instructor in muscle building exercises was JOSEPH NUNES. He insisted on demonstrating some of the new tricks that he was teaching Mary, with me as the victim. After several tosses, kicks, and body blows, I discovered that my hat had been ruined in the onslaught and I asked Joseph where I could buy a new one. He recommended a large department store on Hope Street. Having said good-bye to Joseph, I left him with Mary and entered a beautiful department store. I was quickly fitted with a new hat and was about to pay the salesman, when I discovered that my wallet was missing. Unthinkingly I shouted for the manager and was presented with none other than ROSE MARY JAMIEL. She, being very efficient, quickly found my wallet on the floor where I had dropped it. Naturally enough. We began talking and Rose Mary told me to visit the town hall where there was a debate being held to decide whether baseball should be allowed on the Bristol Common. I left hurriedly and had quietly entered the town hall when the speaker for the affirmative, Mathew Maetoza, finished by saying in loud tone: If you will permit that circus to be held on the common why will you not allow baseball to be played there? This speech caused much grumbling and one man, who was evidently on the affirmative side got up and asked why they could not go on to the common and let the negative side show them one good reason why baseball should not be played there. Everybody immediately left for the common where I decided to watch the circus instead of listening to senseless argument. In the main tent I noticed two people each on a trapeze, who were about to perform. At first I did not recognize them, but suddenly I realized that the two people were MARGUERITE KEBREK and JAMES SAVIANO. They had the usual routine act, except that Jimmy was the one that let go and Marguerite was the one that caught him. In between acts my attention was attracted by a race about to take place between four strong runners. When the shot that started the race 29 KEY (A) TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 60 30 was fired, a dark-haired boy took the lead and remained ahead to the finish I did not remember him, but the person sitting next to me informed me that it was JOHN TRAVERS, the fastest runner in Rhode Island. Throughout the entire show, a peanut and popcorn vender had been bothering my neighbors and me, by passing every five minutes with a huge basket and shouting in her loudest tones: peanuts, popcorn, crackerjacks! Finally I stopped her to buy something hoping that this might stop the outburst and discovered much to my surprise that it was CYNTHIA McCAW. I told her of my previous adventures and she replied by telling me that JACQUELYN PETTINE had taken the position of a blue singer of the Kespi-Kola program. I now resolved to leave this town and had returned to the tide machine when I heard: Any old rags, bottles, junk! The voice was familiar and as I turned I saw, you guessed it, ROBERT McHUGH, the town’s leading junk dealer. Closing the door tightly, I turned the dial back to zero and turned back to 1945 hoping that what I had seen was not to happen. VERNON HUESTIS. HOUSEHOLD ARTS There I was sitting in Grand Central Park enjoying the beauty of the gorgeous flowers all about me. The air was permeated with the perfume of roses— “A rose flung to the living, is worth garlands flung to the dead” was a quotation that kept passing through my mind. “Roses to the living”—that set me to think of my good old high school days at Colt Memorial High School, Bristol. What a lovely town Bristol was with its magnificent elm trees and beautiful flower beds. I started at the flowers in front of me. Violets, Roses, pansys, for-get-nots—Why they were coming to life and assuming various forms—figures which resembled and reminded me of some of the girls in my class. Those immaculate calla Lillies were no longer lillies, but where transformed into a vibrating person—LIVINA FALES—Livina carried a huge bunch of lillies into a church. I followed her to discover that she was keeping house for her brother, a well known minister in the West and the calla lillies that she carried were to adorn the alter. “For-get-me-not, Forget-me-not,” whispered the breeze; “Forget-me-not!” Why that sounded like a human voice. A well known voice—forget-me-not, whispered the breeze as it were in my ear. I smiled—why it was JEANNE BAKER’S voice who although married to a classmate called Benny, still kept her position for the telephone company. The wind whispered you didn’t know that Jeannie could disguise herself as a little forget-me-not? “Not surprised,” I answered, “because none of her classmates could forget her.” I now focused my attention on the water lily. How peaceful and serene were they, with the water rippling all around them. But what is happening to that beautiful one fleched with pink? Its pettles are separating and HELEN ALGER is imerging. That demure classmate of mine, the outstanding swimmer in the country and who has won all titles for swimming. I remember hearing that she swam the English Channel twice, all her debutante students were taught to do the same. She has been a swimming teacher for 15 years, and has been engaged to a lifeguard for the same number of years. “A violet by a mossy pond, half hidden from the eye.” I used to like that poem—and now those violets by the side of the pond have come to life. One speaks to me. “Don’t you know me Carrie?” “You? No, I don’t.” You don’t remember me, ELANOR BORGES, at the games back in Bristol twenty years ago? You accused me once of making eyes at certain boy, but I didn’t marry him. A much more handsome lad came along, and we were married, but unfortunately, he has a regular bluebeard and changed me into a violet under which form I must live for several years. “Too bad,” thought I, “if I remember rightly she used to love to talk, back in the good old high school days. The wind blew briskly. Among the branches of the weeping willow, Weep- 31 KEY (B) TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 60 32 ing willow, Oh! so tall. Weeping willow by the wall, Weeping Willow whom do you call? I am calling for Robin Adair. The whistle became a voice I recognized. The voice of JAYNE GREENE. Jayne didn’t marry any of the boys to whom she used to love to write to back in Study, Room I. Instead, she opened a home for bachelor maidens and she has many boarders I understand. Poor Jayne, how dissappointed she must be. What became of her friend, Betty Mae West? Ask that hearty sunflower over there. Gazing at the sunflower, I noticed that the owner of the flower changed to deep brown eyes and the yellow petals had now turned to a dark shade; and her face now appeared. To be a former classmate, BETTY MAE WEST. She smiled at me saying, “So you want to know what I’ve been doing these last twenty years? Cupid aimed his arrow at me, but missed so I decided to devote all of my time to children and I have been serving as the matron in “Little Orphan Annie’s Asylum. You know I have always loved excitement and I have gotten plenty of it there. The wind blew and Betty disappeared. Now the breeze was heavily laden with the odor of lilacs and looking to my right, I noticed several lilac trees covered with purple and white bloom. How beautiful! I thought. The odor of lilac brought me back to my history class in Room II. Ah! Colt—and again I could see ALICE BROWN seated close by and her favorite perfume, lilac, Ailing the class room. A humming bird was sipping honey from the lilacs. Wonder what happened to Alice, thought I as the little humming bird hummed. The lilac whispered to me that Alice figured out a new gadget for an automobile which made it possible for a machine to travel 50 miles on a gallon of gas and as a result had become very wealthy. Good for Alice! Her work as a mechanic in her youth was worth while, wasn’t it? A millionaire. Underneath the lilac trees, the ground was as white as snow with Johnny-Jump-Ups. Johnny-Jump-Up, Johnny-Jump-Up, listen to my call, Johnny-Jump-Up, Johnny-Jump-Up, at the Flower’s Ball. Did you see a miss quite charming. IRENE SILVIA a classmate so cunning. The Johnny-Jump-Ups were blowing low and a tiny voice issued from a tiny bloom. Irene who was always jumping up here and there in the old high school days? I nodded. Johnny-Jump-Ups mumbled. A little bird whispered that Irene became a WAVE because of her great interest in the Navy. If you remember a certain boy named Peter, well, Irene rolld away on the matrimonial sea with Peter and has three charming girls and two stalwart boys. Oh! how wonderful for Irene, I remarked. Johnny bowed, and as he did so, reminded me so much of the Irene of my high schools days. Always bobbing up and down. Buttercups and daiseys were growing in the field close by. “Daiseys won’t tell, murmered the breeze. “Is that so? a little voice piped up. Well, I can tell you a secret about a classmate of yours. Who? MARGARET DUNBAR! Do you want to know where she is? Well, she became a nun and is now teaching little husky heathens down in Africa. Oh! Not Margaret! Would you like to know what happened to her friend EILEEN LAWRENCE? Well, ask the buttercups? A sweet little butter cup nodded at me saying, “Do you really want to know? Well its a secret. If you stoop down. I'll whisper in your ear. Eileen married “Husky. Oh! That couldn’t be, I cried. Little Miss Buttercup smiled knowingly saying, “You’ll never know. The hyacinth next attracted my attention. Hyacinths, white and purple. The breeze blew across them. Their perfume acted like an anesthetic, and in a vision as it were I saw RITA PERRY seated on a throne in the heart of the hyacinths. Could I be dreaming? So fat? The breeze answered me, “You see, before you there Rita Perry, the famous 400 pound fat lady of the circus. How could she ever have gotten so fat? No one answered, and Rita disappeared. Away in the distance, I could see beautiful tulips standing so straight and tall. I murmured to myself. “Whom did those tulips remind me of? How could anyone who knew JULIA CAVALARRO help but think of her as a tulip. The breeze said, “I shall now tell you what she is doing if you are interested. “I! Interested 33 KEY (C) TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 60 34 in Julia?’ I replied. “Go right ahead and tell me.” “Well, replied the breeze, she teaches gymnastics in a girl’s college and loves it.” I was shocked, but of course she always was so full of pep in the gym classes back in 1945, but no one would ever believe that she was that interested. “Yes,” replied the breeze, “that is why she looks like a beautiful tulip, so slim, tall and fresh. My glance fell again on the beautiful flowers. Wondering if I couldn’t learn more about the rest of my classmates. Those Jonquils, so dainty, surely they would tell me more. The breeze came to my aid again. It whispered, “I’ll name the girl you are trying to think of—ELSIE MEDIEROS. She has signed a twenty-five year contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Company. Haven’t you ever heard of “Alicia Moderioskeui? Well, that is Elsie’s stage name. She was fascinated by the world with her marvelous dancing. I smiled, and continued the breeze, “Would you believe it but EVELYN ESPINOSA is a famous Metropolitan singer. You really ought to see her in “Carmen.” She is superb. “Carrie, Carrie, Called my sister. “What is the matter with you? Day dreaming? Here I have been calling you for three minutes but you acted as if you were in a trance. I rubbed my eyes. I looked at Jackie. “In a trance?” Yes, but I shall never tell her of my experience because she would laugh and say I was crazy. CAROLYN D AMICO. INDUSTRIAL ARTS It was a cold night so I decided to go to bed early. I fell asleep almost at once and then I had a dream. It started something like this. I had just returned to Bristol after being away for nearly ten years. I then proceeded to find out what had become of some of my school friends. I picked up the morning newspaper and discovered that ANTHONY ABATE had been elected president of the United States Rubber Company and HENRY NEWMAN was vice-president. I was about to shake hands with the president when I heard an orchestra playing. Yes, that’s right, JOE CORREIRA was swinging the baton and the crooner was no other than tall, dark, and handsome MIKE DEL PIANO. I bid goodbye to the president and went over to talk to Joe. After talking a while we decided to go for a walk and soon we go to talking about old times. He told me that GRANT HIRONS was now the editor of the “DAILY GOSSIPER.” He always wanted to be a newspaperman. We were nearing the church so decided to go in and to my amazement I saw GEORGE OLIVER, now Rev. George Oliver performing the marriage ceremony of SALVATORE GAGLIO to a beautiful blonde whom I did not recognize. We left the church and continued our walk down main street. We walked toward a drug store and painted on the window in huge black letters I saw the name ARTHUR JORDAN, proprietor. We walked in and went toward the soda fountain and the soda jerk was none other than JOHN MELLO. I decided to buy a magazine and imagine my surprise when I saw FRED HICK’S picture on the cover of a movie magazine. He sure looked handsome. I didn’t buy the book, though. We left the store and decided to go to my apartment when we saw two men in uniform coming toward us. No, it can’t be, wait, it is, HAROLD MANCHESTER, a captain in the U. S. Navy, and HAROLD TUCKER, a captain in the U. S. Army Air Corps. Looks like the Army and Navy are having a race. Maybe in a few years Manchester will be an admiral and Tucker a general. It was not quite 1:30 so we decided to look in school and see if any changes had been made. Well, this is what I saw: The principal was none other than EDWARD ALMEIDA. I bet those students get away with murder. I then went into Room 2 and found BILLY SIMMONS trying to pound some history into his pupil’s heads. I tip-toed in and sat in the back seat for a few minutes and in walked MALCOLM WILCOX, now a postman with the morning mail. I left the room and collided with a man who was deeply interested in some book. When he looked up I discovered it was MANUEL CUNARD reading a book of poetry. When I asked him the poet’s name he told me that PETER VAROLA was now an outstanding poet. It was getting late so we finally decided 35 to go home. On the way home we passed a small carnival show and I heard a familiar voice ring out, “Peanuts, popcorn, cracker-jacks, five cents.” Imagine that BILLY MEIGGS dressed like superman selling peanuts and popcorn! The noise of the carnival woke me up but I was not disappointed as I found out that most of my classmates have been successful in one way or another. ANTHONY SOUTO. COMMERCIAL On a sultry summer day in 1965 I, completely unaware of what was in store for me, rolled my heliocopter out of the hanger and decided to take a spin in “Gargantua.” Suddenly a thick fog came rolling in, with ceiling and visibility zero. I was worried. However, as I was so many miles above the earth I continued anxiously to watch my instruments, particularly, my altimeter, indicator, tachometer and all the other meters. As self preservation was my only thought I gave little heed to the material things below my plane. I settled back in my seat determined to make the most of a bad situation. Suddenly I noticed fumes of escaping gas in front of me. Gradually my head became dizzy and reality escaped me. I was no longer capable of controlling my thoughts but they sped on wildly through my head. Before me appeared an officer in Navy Blue, with brass buttons, billyclub and all the airs of a city cop, GLORIA FRIEDMAN. She was taking over Mr. O’Grady’s beat. Gloria’s well developed physique no doubt resulted from those extra classes of jiu juitsu in the Andrews Gym. I thought this was an opportune moment to inquire about my former classmates so I stepped up to her and patted her on the shoulder in an “old crony” fashion. After exchanging boisterous greetings she went on to tell me how my friends had succeeded in life. First she handed me an envelope containing a letter. Why you could have knocked me over with a feather when I read its contents. It was postmarked “Jiwo Ima.” LEE COSTA was still entertaining the Marines who had remained astray after World War II. After replacing the letter in her pocket she led me to the Bristol Common where a large crowd stood cheering and throwing gold coins. Shrieks of ahs and ohs could be heard almost anywhere. As I followed their gaze upward I beheld a lithe figure in red spangled tights crossing a tight rope and juggling several plates at the same time. Then a thundering roar from a drum nearby announced the climax and the performer gracefully descended for a bow. As she came closer I recognized DOROTHY ESTRELLA. Why she was always good at juggling figures in the A.A. and also excuses in English class. Turning away from this Gloria and I strolled toward a nearby stand where a mass of blonde hair swished industriously, as its owner, a mad scientist, fed a corn stalk into a threshing machine, out of which came pop corn, corn fritters, and silk stockings. Turning for smiles of approval and praise I beheld my old chum BARBARA GIARUSSO—Leave it to her to make something out of nothing. We then sat down on a park bench. By now I didn’t know what to expect. Quite off-handedly she mentioned that CAROLINE MARABELLO was now at the North Pole. My quizzical expression must have shown readily so she went on to explain that Caroline was selling refrigerators to the Eskimos. For a moment I thought she’d have a little difficulty but with that salesgirl complexion she could do almost anything. Our conversation rattled on indifferently and to my surprise I soon found that we were strolling along Hope Street. We bought a daily paper at the ncwstand. The headlines screamed in black bold letters “Marshall Protests.” This all was a bit confusing but as I read the article the mystery was soon cleared. OLGA MARSHALL, now in Washington, head of the “Nylon Labor Union” DEMANDED an equal distribution of nylons to all the women who had the legs to wear them. Good Old Olga, still fighting for her rights! We then went by Colt Memorial and just for old times sake I entered once again. I looked into room 2, my homeroom in “45” and lo and behold!—MARY 36 MIRANDA was seated at the desk. Beside her was a box of rulers, and aside of that—another filled with broken rulers. Why Mary, what are you trying to prove? “That history repeats itself?” I then heard a loud clatter of dishes from the cafeteria and remembering the hilarious times we had there, I thought I'd “mosey” about a bit. The food smelled delicious and I realized I was hungry. I approached the counter and took a menu which read “Special Today”—15 cents. 1 MEATBALL 2 STRINGS OF SPAGHETTI 2 GRAINS OF “T” RATION (Dried Tomato Skins) As I gave my order I was taken back with surprise for there stood NANCY RUG-GIERIO. As we left the grounds we saw a regiment clad in Green White drilling down the field like mechanical tin soldiers. I looked at Gloria, then at the regiment in drill. I could never have been more bewildered. She then explained that ELVIRA PANSA had introduced her new theory “Compulsory Military training” at Colt. It certainly was going over with a bang! Gloria then suggested I see the New Metropolitan Opera House where the Grand Opera now playing was “Unheard Pipsqueak” starring MARY C. SOUSA. Her stage name was Mary Bang Bang. I always knew she had hidden talents. We then continued our walk along Hope Street. When we came to the Town Clerk’s office I went in and there buried under volumes of historical records I found OLGA VIERA, the Lana Turner of “45.” But then she always did take such an interest in history, didn’t you Olga? Walking up to High Street we encountered another crowd of women listening intently. Plowing our way we managed to get close enough to the “Barker.” There on 3 soap boxes stood little BERTHA S. ANGELO. She was still campaigning to send all the war brides back to Australia in order to give the American Girls more of a chance. Leaving Bert to carry out her campaign we left the square. It came to me then that I had met all but one of my classmates and this troubled me. Gloria then informed me that MARY QUINN was now the successful proprietress of a fox farm on Metacom Avenue. She must have got her training by taming wolves, heh Mary? Then as my plane was rapidly descending a breath of fresh air caressed me and as if touched by a fairy wand, I opened my eyes, and realized that this had all been a beautiful dream. GENERAL One night, as I sat before the large, crackling fire in our library, I began to wonder what my classmates would do after graduation. At this instant, a giant, flashing ember came rocketing at me from its fiery berth. As it struck me, I was startled into unconsciousness. I shall relate the tale of this adventure. At the instant I became unconscious, I was whirled into pitch black space and as I was thrown about by meteoric air currents. I slowly regained my senses. The space about me became brighter and brighter, and I could make out signs at intervals. There’s one now, 1950 . . . And there! There is another . . . 1960. The rapid pace at which I was traveling slowly diminished as I approached the Milky 37 Way It seemed as though un unknown force were drawing me nearer and nearer to it. I landed on this heavenly body beside a signpost which stated: THE YEAR 1965. Being dazed due to my sudden fall, I awoke to find myself enveloped in bandages which were skillfully applied by the two nurses who had appeared before me. I was astonished to find that these two competent nurses were RALPH McMcCAW and his colleague, MICHAEL BALZANO. Well, my goodness times certainly have changed! Who would have believed twenty years ago that these two former sailors would become male nurses? At this moment, a giant meteor rocketed by between the Milky Way and the Earth. I was startled—not at the sight of the meteor, but only by the fact that I could see the earth right through the meteor. I was amazed when I found out that I had the power to see any portion of the globe without interruption. When I overcame my awe and fully realized that I had acquired this unusual power, I gazed upon the small town of Bristol. There on the main street, stood a very distinguished looking gentleman, top hat and all—He carried a leather overnight bag. . . . No! It was a professional bag with the initials, M.D. Well, HUSKY CAVALLARO, you certainly surprise me, but I might have known that the inseparable trio would undoubtedly follow the same profession. But Medicine!—At any rate, they are all successful in their careers. There in a telephone booth, I noticed CAROLINE QUINTAL, the little girl who is now a successful radio comedienne. Then I heard her say that WINIFRED GREBEY was now a model housewife and—but there she comes now . . . Why, Wini, you seem to be doing alright. Those three small boys following you, dressed in sailor suits may some day get to be ensigns too. You always did like the navy, didn’t you? I hear that MARY NUNES and VERONICA CARVAHLO are both successful stage performers on Broadway. So I naturally looked down on Broadway where Mary is well-known for her comical antics in impersonating an English lady of nobility, and Veronica is now a famous opera singer. . . . You know, the type that sounds as though they are going mad when they hit those high notes. . . . Oh, well, the audience seems to enjoy it. Turning away from the clamor and turmoil of Broadway, I gazed upon our capital, where JOSEPH PAGANO, now Secretary of State, was delivering a speech to Congress on Foreign Relations in the Post Era. Then to the Golden West I turned my eyes, where a young man had a very prosperous business, so it seemed. Why, it’s JOE SOLMONESE, who owns a very nice dude ranch. I haven’t seen Joe in so long he must have a touch of Texas. Then I looked further West toward the Pacific, where Admiral BEN FRANCO was sitting on the afterdeck of his flagship. At this moment I wandered off into thought, and when I resumed the interrupted vision, the Earth had completely turned around. I was now looking down upon Kentucky, the home of the thoroughbreds. Then upon the scene walked a sprightly young lady whose northern accent I thought I recognized. None other than JINI MARSHALL,” who had realized her ambitions in the blue-grass” lands of Kentucky. Jini” was garbed in a complete riding habit as she awaited her horse. There it is now! It was a beautiful thoroughbred led in by CONNIE RELLE who was now working for Jini” as stable boy. Not far from the grass-lands of Kentucky dwelt a pretty young lady who was busily engaged in the business end of farm work. I guess JANICE HAYDEN is a little farmerette at heart. I turned my gaze back to Bristol, where a terrific explosion shook the earth and the whole universe. Upon closer examination I learned that NANCY SIMMONS had performed an experiment for her Chem” class. At that moment I thought that I recognized myself in a sixteen cylinder Rolls-Royce Limousine, but though I hastened to assure myself that the driver was I and that I was now in the taxi business, the reaction of the explosion brought me back through space to the spot on the floor where I fell during my dream.

Yes, he was mad at the fellow who had taken his girl right out from under his nose and on Saturday night too. However, he was mad mostly at his girl for accepting the invitation. It was just four o’clock in the afternoon when Bradford found he was dateless. He had been playing some swing records when Nancy told him and she even grinned. At first Bradford laughed, for he thought Nancy was teasing him. Nancy said, “Really, I’m not kidding.” “Aw you can break your date with that bum,” argued Brad, but it was to no avail for Nancy coldly replied, “I’m not so sure I want to.” It’s true Brad had taken Nancy quite a bit for granted, but now as he sat in Nancy’s big armchair, the one he always occupied except when the family was out, when he sat on the sofa, he began to realize how beautiful Nancy really was and how he was going to miss her tonight. Nancy was a girl about five feet three with light brown hair, eyes that could change from green to brown and the cutest dimples you ever saw. She was a champion ice-skater and had a figure that would hold the crowd’s eye even if her skating wouldn’t. Brad knew she was very stubborn and it was useless to argue, so he growled an “O.K. we’re through,” at which Nancy showed just a faint trace of regret or at least Brad thought she did. So he slammed the door and jumped on his bicycle as he turned his head and said, “Watch out, that bum you’re going out with is a wolf.” At the same instant Nancy screamed, “You’d better watch out yourself.” Then crash, splash! bicycle and rider plunged head-long into the fish-pond. Nancy screamed with laughter and Brad picked himself and his bicycle out of the pond and proeeded home. And all the way home Brad could hear her laugh and in his brain revenge was becoming the ruler. By the time he had changed his clothes he was even smiling. He had everything all figured out, she was trying to make him jealous. Then he remembered someone in class saying “fight fire with fire.” He rushed to the phone. “Hello Millie. This is Brad. How would you like to go to a show tonight? Good! Be ready at 7:30.” Brad put down the phone, feeling very satisfied with himself. His father was ready for the usual Saturday night question and gave him his usual affirmative answer. With a few “be carefuls” and “be in earlies” from mother plus something from dad about not wasting gas, he was off. Millie was ready and they started off. Brad really liked Millie and if it weren’t for Nancy he might have been out with intentions other than revenge. As soon as he and Millie entered the theater he saw Nancy sitting silently. “Let’s sit here,” said Brad sitting in some seats about four rows in front of Nancy. He could feel she was surprised but he did not dare turn around and look. “I wish the show would start,” said Millie. Brad smiled and said, “I don’t, I’d rather talk to you, Hon.” Brad called all his close girl friends “Hon,” all except Nancy whom he called “Butch.” “You really would?” asked Mill with a question in her voice. Then the movie started just in time thought Brad to save him from a lot, of what he termed necessary “mush.” As the movie started so did Brad’s arm. When it slipped around Millie’s shoulder he experienced two sensations. First and strangest that of Nancy four rows back watching him and becoming a bit angry, secondly that of Millie coming a bit closer and that he felt quite natural with his arm around her. He thought this might have been a result of his anger so he didn’t put much faith in it. As the movie progressed he couldn’t keep his mind off Nancy and what life without her would be like. Then as was his habit when things weren’t going well he began to hatch a plan. At about ten o’clock Brad asked “How about going out and getting a soda, this movie is terrible.” “That’s a swell idea, let’s go,” responded Millie. On the way out Bradford looked at Nancy and he saw in her face a mixture of surprise and disapproval. As he passed up the aisle behind Millie he very openly winked at Nancy who smiled just enough to show one of her cute dimples. Brad could tell that Nancy was no longer angry and he was now in one of the happiest moods he had been in since he was out with her last. 45 After they were seated in the drug store Millie said, “Make mine a coke.” The waitress came and Brad ordered two cokes at the same time arising and putting a quarter in the “juke box.” Brad was surprised when he noticed that he had, without thinking picked five very dreamy records, for he was a great lover of swing. As the records were played he and Millie talked about everything in general and Brad was glad he had picked all very dreary records. The last strains of the last record had died away when they stepped out the door into the moonlight. Maybe it was the moonlight, but Brad noticed that Millie was a very beautiful girl and had the most beautiful blond hair he had ever seen. The car sped towards Millie’s house and soon pulled up to a stop. Millie said, “Thanks for a swell evening,” and Brad sensed she really meant it. He leaned a little closer to her and said, “The pleasure was all mine. See you again, hon.” The plan Brad had in the movies was now buzzing through his head. He knew that Junior, the boy who, as Brad termed it, had stolen his girl, and Nancy would be about half way home. Brad was speeding up the road with his eyes on the sidewalk, not the road when it happened. There was a screech of brakes and Brad drew up beside Junior and Nancy and said, “Want a ride, kids?” “Sure,” said Nancy, Junior not so much as opening his mouth. They climbed in, Brad drove off and soon turned down the road that led to all their homes. Brad went whizzing by Nancy’s house and remarked something about, “I guess I forgot you, Nancy.” He always called her Nancy when he had something up his sleeve or was pleased with himself, even Nancy knew this. When he came to Junior’s driveway he said, “I never can make these circular driveways.” Everyone laughed but Junior not very heartily. Very sarcastically, Junior said, “Thanks for the ride,” and as he got out of the car he slammed the door. Brad drove out of the yard onto the road which led by the beach to Nancy’s house. On the way Brad looked at Nancy who smiled kind of shyly and looked at the moon which had just come from behind a cloud. Brad stopped when he came to the beach and they both watched the moon until it went behind another cloud. —Clarence Smith, ’46.

And if you did, did you hit the roof Now I’m afraid to take mine home I know my folks will shriek and foam As they moan, “Is that our little goof?” LIMERICKS There was once a man called Max Who thought he could duck the Tax He was caught quite soon, In the month of June, And now no one ever sees Max. There was an old man named Joe, Who sold fruit on the corner for dough. He violated ceiling prices During the nation’s crisis, Now' Joe doesn’t sell fruit any mo! Max cheated one day in a test, So he thought his mark would be best, But the teacher caught on He was cheating from John, So I guess you know all the rest. At the party I thought I was hero, I fiddled my fiddle like Nero. There was a test the next day, But my books I let lay, And for my efforts I got zero. —Joseph Nunes, ’45. WHO'S WHO Now here is the entire faculty Introduced to you in poetry First a gentleman—known very well As Mr. Burke—our principal Then Miss Callan in Room one Who though small—gets things done But if its history you’re a missin’ Enter Room two and see Miss Sisson Climb a flight up to Room three Miss Bradford’s conjugating the verb “to be Just down the way is another door Open it—Why Mr. Russo “Master” of Room four And Miss Diggles in Room five Known as the “Einstein of forty-five” Then Miss Marino in Room six Teaching Latin—both suffix and prefix And Mr. Carlson in Room nine The “Louie Pasteur” of our time If reference work is assigned to you In the library Miss Osterberg interview Across the street of course we meet Mrs. Pahline in the model suite Then we glance into the gym Where Miss Dailey keeps the girls in trim Then look again another day You’ll see Coach Allen with the boys at play If into the shop you roam by chance You’re bound to meet Mr. Bellavance In 201 the “Modern Oven” Resides none other than Miss McGovern In 202 just across the way Meet Miss Bullock—competent and gay In 206 just down the hall Mr. Walker, red mustache and six feet tall 207—next door—as you can see Mr. Canario teaches “The Good Neighbor Policy” Back again in the music hall Mrs. Donovan—staunch, sturdy, and small Then we enter the colorful part Miss Nerone “What is this thing called art?” —Mary Jane Soares, 12C-1. Were I to spread wings and fly I’d fly to those heights beyond the sky; And then, and only then, would I know Why you fall, and they call you snow. —Mary J. Soares, ’45. FORWARD TO PEACE How patiently I await the day. And God only knows how much I pray, When Johnny, Joe, and the rest, Return to those they love the best. Mothers, wives, and sweethearts, too. Who often feel so very blue. Gallant men, each one so brave, To no one man, will they be slaves. Pure red blood stains the sand, From those who died to protect this land. Oh, Land of Liberty, tried and true, Will this save our Red, White, and Blue? Let us all unite this day, Each and every one to pray. Pray this war will finally end. The Dove of Peace, God’s blessing brings. —Leonora Costa, ’45. LUNCH TIME Some half stand and some half sit. An expectant hush then follows. A bell is heard and in a second split. We’re gone! For a couple of “swallows.” A thunder of feet can be heard for a mile, Tfye starving make furious din. And. the cook doesn’t know whether to cry or to smile, For they are just pouring in. . “Give me a sandwich,” someone will cry, “Hey, throw me one of those.” While others stand by and hopelessly sigh, And some shout, “Get off my toes!” At twelve twenty we creep up the steps. And this is our deepest sorrow. Getting out our money to pay our debts,— That’s all until tomorrow! MYSTIC SNOWFLAKE Little snowflake falling low— Why is it—they call you snow? Flying graciously as a dove Coming to earth from heaven above. Stopping whenever you care to rest, On a chimney top or feathered nest, Can it be that while you fall You bring a message—an urgent call. 47 —Mary Paiva, 12A.

SN0I1UZINU3H0 aNtt S3SSU13 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1944, the shy Sophomore class returned full of enthusiasm, ambition and determination, this time entering the portals of Colt Memorial as full-fledged Juniors. As Sophomores they were active in most school events, but as Juniors, they became staunch supporters at athletic games, present at all school dances, and active participants with the other classes in most activities. The Juniors had good representation at the Annual Christmas Entertainment. With much wisdom, the Juniors elected the following officers: President John Balzano Vice President Richard Torrey Secretary Estelle Vona Treasurer Margaret Guevremont Executive Committee: Fred Bruno, Anthony Bernardo, Helen Sai, Joseph Cor-diero and Sally Mapes. After much excitement throughout the year, the Junior Promenade finally arrived, the greatest event of the entire year. It was held on May 18th from 9 to twelve o’clock. Of course, in addition to participating in the happy events, the Juniors found it was necessary to take part in the less joyful tasks, namely, examinations which, incidentally, most of the Juniors came through with flying colors. With this thought in mind, the Juniors who leave the portals of Colt High School this year, to return as seniors next fall, plan to complete their High School education with the same co-operation they have always displayed in the past. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The class of '47 was welcomed to Bristol Senior High School in September, 1944, as Sophomores. The Hallowe’en Party and the A.A. Dance were both well attended by the Sophomores. Early in the year of 1945 we, the Sophomores, finally elected the following class officers. Edward Travers President James Fusco Vice President Elizabeth Greer Secretary Barbara Parker Treasurer The Class Officers assisted the Senior Officers in planning a Senior-Sophomore Hop, which was well attended by the Sophomores. Since this was the first time that the Seniors and Sophomores planned anything together, we hope that the custom will continue. BAND The students of Colt Memorial High School arc very proud of their school band. Under the direction of Mrs. Theresa Donovan, it has successfully appeared at school games, the Senior operetta, and many public affairs. Members of the band are as follows: Seniors—Vernon Huestis, Joseph Carreiro, Henry Newman, Rita Perry, and Winifred Grebey. Juniors—Anthony Maciel, Frank De Luca, Margaret Guevremont, Sally Mapes, and Francesanne Doyle. Sophomores—Joseph Castro, Norman Kerr, Esther Migliori and Otiiia Botelho. 52 JUNIOR COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND GENERAL JUNIOR COMMERCIAL AND GENERAL CLERICAL JUNIOR HOMEMAKING AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS SOPHOMORE COMMERCIAL AND GENERAL CLERICAL COMMERCIAL CLUB BAND OPERETTA—CHORUS OUR DIARY SOPHOMORE YEAR September 9, 1942 Dear Diary: What an exciting day today, dear diary— our first day at Colt Memorial High School.

November An Armistice Day assembly was held, and the next day a Victory Dance was held. December Our Christmas Party, Assembly and Dance were held as usual and everyone had a very enjoyable day before the short Christmas vacation started. January, 1944 Vacation is over and everyone is ready to study hard again for the next few months. School dances and assemblies were held regularly to keep our spirits high. May Here it is again that first exciting event of every year at high school—the Junior Prom. We shall long remember this Prom as it was sponsored by our class. June It won’t be long before our summer vacation, but, of course, there’s one more thing that I must not forget, dear diary, and you must know what that is—the long awaited final exams! We’ll soon be Seniors after another exciting year at Colt. SENIOR YEAR September, 1944 Dear Diary: It seems I was just writing about my first day at Colt Memorial High School and here it is our Senior Year. This is the most important year to everyone. Many of our classmates have had to leave us to enter the service and are missed by all. Class officers were elected in a voting manner, and the following students were elected: President—Anthony Abate Vice President—Harold Manchester Secretary—Bertha St. Angelo Treasurer—Joseph Pagano Executive Board—Carolyn D’Amico, Leo- 59 nora Costa, Mary Nunes, Janice Hayden, Michael DelPiano, Ralph McCaw, Joseph Ferrara, Joseph Nunes. October Hallowe’en was here again and a dance was held from 7:30 until 11 o’clock. November Armistice Day assembly was held and our guest speakers were Mr. Wall and Mr. Mar-len. An assembly was held for the 6th War Loan Drive and a play was presented by the 12C-1B classes entitled To Mother With Love.” Then came a two-day Thanksgiving vacation, which everyone appreciated very much. December Christmas was here again, and it had come too soon! We enjoyed our last Christmas Party at Colt High and after the party we all looked forward to our annual Christmas vacation. Only one more half year at Colt. Time sure has passed, dear diary! January, 1945 Mid-year exams marked the half year for us, and everyone tried harder than ever to pass them this year, dear diary, as they’re the last mid-year exams we'll have to take. I wonder if we shall miss them? February Our senior class operetta, Campus Daze” was presented. The show went on even during a storm when there were no lights. Was it a success? Oh, yes. March A second issue of the school paper, “The Pegasus” was published and the sophomores were very well represented in this issue.

June And now at last, the final exams—followed by two very exciting and fun packed days— the Class Day exercises and banquet and— last, but not least, the graduation exercises!

Our boys have always been one of the chief contenders for the Class C title and this year proved no different. We opened our season with a win over Aldrich High 12-7, at Guiteras Field. After a slow start, the boys from Colt came out at the half trailing 7-0. As this was their first game of the season, the players needed time to adjust themselves, and when they did, the “Colt’s” swept through the Aldrich team for two touchdowns and victory. This was a thrilling season opener in which the entire Colt squad gave a good account of themselves. We won our second scheduled football game by defeating a stubborn Country Day eleven, 13-0. With McCaw and Jordan sparkling the Colt offense, two touchdowns were registered in the first and third quarters respectively, with Jordan crossing the line twice. Manchester and Cavallaro did a bang-up job in the line for Colt. The next encounter was a victory in our first league battle with North Providence in which Colt emerged into a victorious 14-0 decision. Scoring twice in the first and second periods, our boys proved too much for the North Providence eleven to handle. Colts strong defense kept the boys from the “big city” from threatening and only once did they reach our 35-yard line. McCaw and McHugh did well in the backfield with Carola and Desmarais doing well in the line. Colts next victim was DeLaSalle in which we engulfed the Newporters to the tune of 26-6. “Mat Maetoza started our scoring pace when he hauled down a DeLaSalle punt and raced 70 yards for a touchdown. Then McHugh and Jordan ran wild and we picked up three more tallies. Colts line play was outstanding. The next game was a tragic loss for our boys when a strong Burrillville aggregation handed Colt a 13-6 defeat at Guiteras Field. Colt led at the half 6-0, but after that everything went into a tailspin. A kick-off by the Broncos landed in our own end zone and a Burrillville player pounced on the ball which resulted in a score. After that our boys seemed to have lost their “zip.” Although they held their own, they couldn’t stop another Burrillville march which resulted in another score and victory for them. “Bob” McHugh and “Mac” McCaw carried the brunt of the Colt attack while on the line “Pat” Annarummo and “Jeep” Balzano were outstanding in breaking up the powerful Burrillville end sweeps. Our boys soon recovered from this defeat when they handed South Kingston a 25-6 setback, the first score coming after only 10 plays were completed. Velleca and McHugh sparked the Colt offense with many large gains which eventually resulted in touchdowns. The next encounter for our boys was the annual Armistice Day tilt between Warren and Bristol in which our boys swamped our neighbors to the North 26-0. Starting off with an all Senior team, Colt scored after three plays were completed when “Bob” McHugh ran around his own left end for 30 yards and a score. “Art” Jordan made a brilliant run when he ran around his right end for 85 yards along the out-of-bound stripe to pay dirt. Playing in a muddy field at Freebody Stadium in Newport, Colt Memorial defeated Rogers High 13-6 in a viciously fought non-league contest. “Pat” Annarummo scored our first tally on a pass from Maetoza. “Mat” scored the second touchdown when he intercepted a Rogers pass and galloped 85 yards for a score. The entire Colt squad played an excellent game with Mello and Roderiques holding the spotlight in the line. In the annual “Turkey Day” classic between Colt and Barrington (defending champions) the Bristol boys emerged with a 13-0 triumph. However, the victory proved costly, for “Pat” Annarummo Colt’s outstanding wingman, who was sparking the Colt offense and defense, broke his right leg. It was “Pat” who scored the second touchdown in the second period when he leaped high into the air to snag a pass thrown by Maetoza on the 35-yard line to the 17 where “Pat” traveled the 64 remaining distance. “Bob” McHugh broke the scoring ice in the first period when he raced around his left end for 25-yards which was good for 6 points. “Mac” McCaw plunged for the extra point. Playing their last game for their Alma Mater were the following: P. Annarummo, J. Cavallaro, J. Mcllo, P. Varola, H. Manchester, M. Bal .ano, F. Hicks, R. McCaw, R. McHugh, A. Jordan, and M Maetoza PETER VAROLA BASKETBALL TEAM First Row—Velleca, Del Piano, Cavallaro, Gaglio, Carulli Second Row—Coach Allen, Huestis, Cordeiro, Celone, Osterberg, Bernardo, Balzano, Newman BASKETBALL It would have been a great privilege to fill this space with the word “Champions, but fate interfered. Colt’s defeat by South Kingston prevented our boys from winning the championship. But we arc not here to make excuses but instead to give credit where credit is due. On the basis of record, the boys from Colt played an outstanding brand of basketball, winning all but three games during the entire season. The brilliant play of “Husky” Cavallaro and “Mike DelPiano, the so-called basket twins, proved too much for the opposition to handle. Cavallaro s uncanny ability to shoot under pressure coupled into his never-stop-fighting-spirit, has earned him a place into the ace-hoopsters of Colt High School. Planning to leave for the Navy soon, he will be missed by his fellow athletes as well as the numerous spectators who have come to know him. The center positions were capably filled by •Sal” Gaglio and “Al” Osterberg, the tall boys of the squad. These fellows kept the scoring momentum continuing in many games by their brilliant passing and quick thinking. The guard positions were held down by two Juniors who possessed 65 both speed and agility on the court, Francis Velleca and “Sal” Carulli, who, inci-dently, took over Matt Maetoza’s berth as first string guard when the latter left the team for active duty in the Coast Guard. Other members of the varsity squad include, Bernardo, Cordeiro, J. Balzano, Santulli, Maisano, and Celone. Much credit should be given these boys for their loyalty and patience during the games and practice. Without boys like these Colt would never have reached their high position in the league. Seniors who played their last basketball game for their Alma Mater were: Mat” Maetoza, Husky” Cavallaro, Mike” DelPiano, and Sal” Gaglio.
