Could this be an earthquake or a cataclysm, or the Dramatic Society in rehearsal? Has Frankenstein met the Wolf-Man again? None of these innocent entertainments offer the explanation.— it ' s the august Murivian Committee in quiet, calm conclave. Father Milton, overflowing with sweetness and light, is making polite remarks as to the mental capabilities of the rest of the staff, who reciprocate in kind (they wouldn ' t let us print the polite remarks). Efficiency is the order of the day, and nothing remains lost for more than six months. Above we have tried to present an accurate picture of the inner workings of the Committee which produced this book. Despite the resemblance to Bedlam, long hours of work on the part of the Editorial Staff resulted in the write-ups being writ, the formal photos and candids taken, the Senior Statistics and Who ' s Who tabulated, and the completion of the Murivian. Thanks to the ceaseless efforts of the Business Committee, one of the largest sales ever was bought and paid for by you, the student. This book is for you and about you. Here is the year 1945.

J r jm ■ ' ■CJtSSjSf - JyL ■ 4 1 1 I A s FOREWORD S CIVILIZATION has progressed, a greater appreciation for the accomplishments of the Greeks and Romans during the Classic Age has developed. The contributions to literature and art during that period are today classified as one of the greatest in the history of man. We students of Brookline High School have become acquainted with many of these contributions in our study of the social sciences, art, and languages, or in their use through the school. Within the last year Greece and Rome have been again liber- ated from oppression and it is believed that many of the great symbols of ancient Greece and Rome have either been destroyed or lost. It is for these reasons that the Murivian Committee of 1945 has chosen to pay tribute to this Classic Age as represented by famous statues of mythological characters, by using it as the theme of the 1945 Murivian. Minerva, the goddess of righteous war and wisdom, representing the war which has so greatly in- fluenced Packard House, is on our cover. Around this classic theme we have organized a book of simplicity whose main pur- pose is to open the gates of Brookline High School and reveal the principles which have for over a century ranked it among the highest educational institutions in the country. ROLL OF HONOR Enflamed with the study of learning and the admiration of virtue; stirred up with high hopes of living to be brave men and worthy patriots ' dear to God, and famous to all ages.” — John Milton The following members country : FREDRICK BURTON SIMON CARDINALE DAVID G.

WALL, JR. 6 DEDICATION WE, THE CLASS OF 1945, THINK IT FITTING TO BESTOW THE HIGHEST HONOR IN OUR POWER TO A MAN WHO HAS UPHELD THE PRINCIPLES OF PEACE AND, THROUGH HIS HONOR, INTEGRITY, AND FAIR PLAY HAS FOSTERED THE STANDARD OF “AIM HIGH”. WITH GRATITUDE WE DEDICATE THE 1945 MURIVIAN TO OUR BELOVED HOUSEMASTER, MR. BERTRAM H. HOLLAND WILFRED H. RINGER Headmaster To the Graduates of 1945 : Within the very short span of time that you have been with us, you have seen a world move swiftly through a period of civilization unparalleled because of man’s inventions. In your early days, the world was poised upon the brink of decay with its aggression, dictatorships, and persecution. As the United Nations became better organized, the scene changed while we passed through a period of disappointment, disaster and personal losses until the new machinery of a common democracy could be thrown into high gear. Then came the steady climb forward under the leadership of people who were willing to give and to compromise in order that we might write of peace in the book of life. Losses have been great. We will return soon to constructive production rather than destructive. In this era, you, as new graduates of Brookline High School, have an opportunity to make great personal contribu- tions. If you are to have, you must give. If you want results, you must w 7 ork. If you want freedom, you must be tolerant. If you want obedience, you must perform your duties. In the work that you do, may you remember that we have tried to help you be prepared for decisions that are fair and just. May God grant you the grace to make these decisions wisely. 8 My cordial greetings to the Class of 1945 with the wish that the years may bring to you true success and real happiness ! As you go on from the home school to broader fields of endeavor, remember that we stand ready to help in any way we can. We are anxious to hear of your undertaking; we regret the disappointments and rejoice with you in your successes. In the fateful years just ahead there should be no place for laggards. In the midst of world chaos there are sacrifices to be made, there is hard work to be done that is not of your choosing, vital effort to be put forth by all of you before you can think far ahead and plan for peace time years. Through it all, Shakespeare’s charge “Let all the ends thou aim’ st at be thy country’s, Thy God’s and truth’s.” is a challenge to real living. To aim lower than that is to be false to our heritage as Americans. To ap- proach that goal will take the best that is in us. May God grant you his richest blessings ! Loyally yours, Mary W. Sawyer, Dean of Girls 9 ROW 1: Mr. Downes, Mr. Holland, Mr. Kepner. ROW 2: Miss Liden, Miss C. Lewis. The Executive Committee is composed of members of the High School faculty who meet each week with the Headmaster to consider problems which have been referred to the group. Most of the work of this Committee deals with matters which affect the welfare of the School as a whole. The Com- mittee endeavors to adopt policies which will further the coordination of all of the different units, which together, comprise Brookline High School: students and teachers, departments and houses, curriculum and non-curriculum activities; to the end that all may work together in harmony for the common goal of providing the best education possible for every student in the High School. It is in this capacity that the Executive Committee of the High School extends its sincere greetings to the Class of 1945. You have left your mark in the history of Brookline High School. From now on you will leave your mark in the history of the United States of America, and of the world. It will be your duty to utilize your educational opportunities to the best of your ability. Good luck and God bless you! The Executive Committee, Bertram H. Holland, Chairman to FACULTY 11 Dorothy Abel Subj . : Chemistry. Coll . : Middlebury, Syracuse University. Grace M.

Our youth in spring is wandering, we know, Along our sometimes sluggish veins where dart A thousand tinglings of life inside us; and we thrill to everything That grows, and grows not old : the doublets tried To some unseen and heaven-colored string; The evergreen with cone on cone, the same In brittle winter as in placent sun ; The deep tree roots here long before we came — These are the things that make our gay blood run. Actions are better far than dreams we know. Elders of heaven dream ; our wild hearts go. PRESIDENT’S ORATION This graduating class approaches the threshold of what well may be a new era brought with the suffering of many members of classes before us. Our teachers at Brookline High School have worked hard and skilfully to prepare us for this task of rebirth which lies ahead. As we entered into our fresh- man year in 1941, our country entered into the war which was fought to protect, in addition to our other freedoms, the freedom of education. Today as we graduate, this war approaches a successful conclusion. Only by applying the knowledge taught to us during our years here may we prevent a repetition of the holocaust which has taken so many lives and which has caused many of our classmates to be absent from their graduation today. Now we embark upon the voyage of life. To you, our parents and teachers, we owe our excellent preparation. With your continued help we shall be able to contribute to a happy and prosperous society. It is with deep regret, however, that we unwillingly break the bonds of many of our friendships which have grown so strong during our years together. Although these many companionships must be dissolved, I hope that the memory of them may not be forgotten in the ensuing years. I am extremely proud to have served as president to such an excellent class, and to you go all of my wishes for successful lives.

(BPA) With Ralph “Fee Wee ’ Collins captain- ing the baseball team for the coming year, all indications point toward a successful season for the squad. Outstanding on teams in past years have been Joe Capodilupo, John Larson, Paul Mullin, and Maury Simonds, all of whom, except Joe, who is in the Service, are expected to shine during the coming baseball season. Cinder Track Takes Beating Under Winged Feet of “Mercury” Mcllveen Sept., 1944.

Hockey, Swimming, and Tennis Teams Plug On Despite War Time Curtailment Sept., 1944.

MICHAELS, NEXON THRILL FIRST NIGHTERS “Richard II,” “Pygmalion” — Productions for 1944-45 Season in Roberts Theater Nov. 20, 1944. (BPA) Tonight this critic had the privilege of watching history being made when the Dramtic Society pre- sented “Richard II.” Handling the job to perfection, Sid Michaels, experienced from his work in “The Taming of the Shrew” and “Ryland,” portrayed the tragic role of the young king. Aiding him in the performance were such bright lights of Packard House as Harold Schwartz, Michael Robbins, Maurice Nesson, Bob Hilliard, Herb Broner, A1 Lampke, Jerry Spier, Bob Forman, and Phil Nexon. Testimony to the excellence of the production was the request of the English Department to present a special War Bond performance on December 16, 1944. Mar. 16, 1945. (BPA) G. B. Shaw’s memorable comedy “Pygma- lion” was presented tonight to a large and receptive audience at Roberts Theater.

EDITORIAL The Commencement of the Class of 1944 marks the fourth graduation from Brookline High School since the beginning of World War II. We go, carrying with us a spirit of hope, and with the desire of applying in our future lives the principles of brotherhood and good will that have been gained from our as- sociation with the faculty and the student body of our alma mater. It is true that the class is leaving; nevertheless, the heritage of loyalty to the finest ideals of mankind and American culture that it has received will not be readily lost. We the class of 1945 can truthfully say that endowed with the spirit given us by our school, we shall be better enabled to help achieve peace and happiness, the ultimate goals of all mankind. 67 WHO’S vVo l f Host LiKcly ■ . s MosL Bri 1 i4.n I f s 7c ' n A bou L fowa Most fu.1 arbara i n Lois Bron stein MurW i ci n ' s ” Choice Most V - J r-5 d.l i I z rAosL ' Atli I ?f i c in at yv) o.s l Or t O ' N i J Phoebe 51 x ‘i WHO Wi ttiest Most L Most” Brill Jay Ro5|nf{e)d May Pamela Rogers Most Versati i e tn n Done MoatyDrB.li .5.

P.). ROW 2: Henrick (Sec.), Mr. Holland, Brown (Treas.). AKERS HOUSE Because the fifth year house was only twenty-seven this year, its direction was given to the Packard housemaster, Mr. Holland. However, the small number of members in Akers House has not lowered, in proportion, the number of outstanding personalities. Dick Mealy as President has directed the activities of the house with the able assistance of Joyce Hannington, Thomas Brown, and Robert Kendrick. Paula Rosenthal, whose personality is plusquam perfectum, was a highlight in this year ' s Akers House. Other outstanding figures were Saul Arveion, Melvyn Posner, and particularly the one of Nancy O’Neil. Many members of the House have left for the Armed Forces, with Melvyn Posner leaving to return to his home town in Britain in order to join the British Army. Thus has the tradition of ‘Vestga nulla restrorsum” (forward and never backward) been upheld by this year’s class of Akers House. 235 ROW 1 : Weinrib, Hannington, Stranahan, Carson, Parks, Rosen- thal, Arda.

PACKARD HOUSE Hail, the seniors in white dresses and dark suits, holding their glossy diplomas in damp hands, not yet able to realize it ' s all over. All those four years, where did they go? Where did they go, those years that were here just a minute ago? Was it just September ten months ago, just ten months since they first got the thrill of being seniors? Seniors! The respon- sible (that was the faculty’s term), old seniors that the whole school looked up to, and didn’t the seniors love it! Yes, they were seniors, and homework piled up in mountains, and College Boards and draft boards, and civil service examinations threatened. Their books weighed a ton, especially that wee small accomplishment of Messrs. Faulkner and Kepner. Yes, they were seniors, and they filled out thousands of college applications. How old are you? where did your ancestors come from? have you ever had chicken pox? and then the draft boards sends a much simpler “application” and settles the whole matter. There was a school day in April when the seniors, literally hundreds of them suddenly had “a little cold.” Funny, that the next day the same seniors were taking college boards — after which they really were sick. And after a winter of w r ork and fun, came May, the month of day dreams, and those w r ho were seniors took to building castles in the air. What would her first boss look like? Tall, grave, handsome, with “warm eyes” like Walter Pidgeon, though probably he ' ll turn out more like Eugene Pallate. There were lots of girls who could see themselves in Nurse’s uniforms if they just closed their eyes — uniforms they will be in very shortly. And the boys, well a bombardier is O. K., but to be a pilot — to get into the air. to fly in the strict grace of a bomber formation — but that was in May, and now it is June. Now it is June, and Class Day is tomorrow, and there is an even money bet on that it will pour. The boys take the weather with philosophic calm, but the girls who have put in hours on their costumes will mention the elements piously in the orisons. But that’s all over now. Tomorrow has come and gone, the Class Day, and the banquet, and all the cracks about “one meat ball. ' Now, it ' s graduation and the seniors on the platform are much too excited to listen to the speaker. Here they are after four long years. In a few moments they’ll no longer be a part of the student body. And what is the student body? They are a part, a small part of the whole. Herbert Broner down there — four years the treasurer of the house- He’s a part of the student body. Jerry Spier, President of the class, the head of student government, he too is part of this body. Jimmy Brennan, Captain of the football team, the position every body over six and under twenty dreams about, he’s a limb on that body. Irwin Oppenheim, he must be in the head of the “body”, at any rate where the brains are located. The speaker goes on, and as the parents listen attentively, the seniors look down on the heads below them. The pretty brunette, Connie Cohen — a member of the School Council since she was a Freshman. That darker head further on is Carolyn Trockman, the girl who has her helpful finger in every pie baked in the school. Down there further on is Nancy Russell, the main prop of the Girls’ League. And, oh yes, Patsy Conway, queen of the Municipal Gym. What will become of this body when it breaks up? Sid Michaels perhaps will become a poet or an actor, Ruth Mac- Donald, with all her experience in holding office, at least a Congresswoman. Joe Simons will be an expert, on just what isn ' t yet certain, but an expert. Now the speakers are seated, and all the prizes have been given out. Now, hail the seniors in white dresses and dark suits, holding their glossy diplomas in damp hands, not yet able to realize it is all over. 73 212-213 ROW 1: F. Buckley, Bernson, Barap, Ahramjian, B.

SHAILER HOUSE The first thing the new-born upper classman says to himself is — “Have I really been here two years?”; the profoundly — “Gosh! Comes now that eternal wise crack — “Yeh, and I’ll probably be here another three.” Then this philosopher settles down to one of the best years in high school. He’s almost a senior, but he still has some one to look up to. He has a lot of the fun without all the responsibility. He doesn’t suffer from a swelled head (that kid ' s stuff), but he likes the idea of being an upper classman — besides, the assem- blies are better. He’s not too busy to give a boost to the freshmen and sophomores. All in all, he’s rather a nice guy, this junior. He knows the first names of all the people in his house, and the grammar school cliques are entirely forgotten. After two years he’s pretty fond of the old place, but he never admits it — that would be positively un-American. He’s getting more serious about certain things like politics and world affairs. He ' s abandoned the funny books for Life and the New Republic (the Murivian is a non-partisan publication). Make no mistake, however, he’s still an avid Terry and the Pirates fan. He may think about the future, but not enough to let it bother his sleep. He remembers, though, that time is running short. This is the time to do the many things he’s planned. Does he want to be President of the debating team, star of the football field? Now’s the time to lay the ground work. This is the beginning of the end. Some of the juniors have already taken over. Witness the Sagamore — the brain child of Ruth Black and some of the best minds in Shailer House, e.g. Barbara Levine and Will Wiggin. Witness the football team and Harold Moffie and that cute little blond marshall just can’t seem to think of his name. And how about the distaff side — Mickey Krafsur and Ann Leahy who might have made swell football stars, and Marion Rubin who we know will make a wonderful G. L. President. Witnesss that top Honor roll and its one permanent member — Miss Elaine Tanner. Call to witness, too, all the folks who saw Richard II, and heard the silver-tongued Janine Marjollet. Let ' s not forget William Sapers in this galaxy and the President of Shailer House, Dana (gee, I thought of his name finally) Estes. If Shailer House can present such an honor roll this year what ' ll they do when they hold the title of seniors? 79 315-316 ROW 1: Barrett, Adelman, Boyd, Bladet, Black, Miss Allen, Mr. Newsom, Clasby, Burgess, Cimeno, Cappers (Chm.), Carson.

ROBERTS HOUSE The great goal of every sophomore is to live down the fact that he ever was a freshman. The achievement he strives for — to be an upper classman. To the freshman it may appear that the sophs are afraid of nothing. Why, sophomores can even hold conversations with their English teachers without their tongues becoming hopelessly involved in P’s and T ' s. The sophomores say ‘‘hello” to their housemaster and have no visible mental relapse under such a strain, and what is more, some of the sopho- mores know the names of the secretaries — all four. The poor frosh are lost in admiration. The seniors, too, admire this happy breed of men. “Where”, ask the seniors with sleep filled eyes, “do they get that up-an’ at- em expression, that nothing-can-stop-us pep?” Wherever the sophomores get their energy, be it from crispy, crunchy, breakfast foods, or kill-them-or-cure vitamin tablets, they certainly have it in abundance. The sophomores have a pleasant year. College worries are two full years ahead. The draft board is still in the hazy future. They ' re very much at home in B.H.S. What more could any one ask? Over the lunch room table they talk trig, track, and general tactics ; beau x, belles, and biology ; Ceasar, Sinatra, and socks. Yes, the sophomores are happy, happy and ambitious. The upper classmen are quick to take advantage of this state of mind; so you ' ll usually find the sophomores doing all odd jobs that the seniors pass on to the juniors, and the juniors present to the sophomores. The sophs are the clean up committee, they’re the walk-ons in plays, they ' re the subs in sports, but their day is surely coming. For some of the sophomores it has already come. President Howard (Howie) Allen began being generally useful down the Sag room and around the School Council the first year he took up residence here. In student government he was joined by Judy Haskell, and aided and abetted by an able secretary and treasurer. While Messeurs Allen Pender, Georgaklis, and Mademoiselle Cotter took care of government, Jan Love looked out for scholarship, Dotty Goldman for Dramatics, and Bill Penders and Steve Feinberg took care of Athletics. Danny Lehrer took care of the Tennis department while Warren Cavior spread the name of B.H.S. all the way from here to Chicago, and besides his little trip West, remember Warren topped the upper classmen in the English Club Contest. All we can say is — keep it up, sophomores. 85 124-125 ROW 1: E Batt. Auerhamer, Bass, Arvedon, A. Abramson, Miss Wood, Miss Ricker, Bouxman, Castleman, M. Burgess, M. Brown, Brin.

Seniors feel it hard to believe that they ever were frosh, and these same seniors looking back four whole years are apt to wax sentimental over their freshman year at Brookline High, remembering how excited everybody was the first day, how the girls debated for weeks before on what to wear, and specifically, did nice freshmen wear lipstick. The high school seems to have shrunk the senior thinks, recalling how huge and mysterious it loomed that first year. Maybe the senior recalls also how the high school on that first day appeared to be a strange land promising glory and new ad- ventures. And it was the beginning of a new adventure. There was the wonderful feeling that at last you were “on your own”; that you were no longer a mere child in grammar school. You were part of the teen-age crowd now ! When upper classmen asked how you liked high school, you replied with the right touch of nonchalance, “It ' s O.K.” You never admitted that sometimes you were a little scared ; sometimes you were a little lost. No, you never let on that you were not quite so sophisticated as your jaunty clothes. That ' s what the senior remembers about his Freshman year, and its still the same, isn ' t it, Frosh? By Christmas you know the ropes pretty well. You ' ve learned how to cope with homework — usually by a “co-op system — but that’s not a subject that can bear discussion. You ' ve paid dues to half the clubs in the school, but you ' ve gone to about one meeting. You have some definite ideas about the place they call B.H.S. So the year passes. You don’t think you ' ll live till finals. The homework is awful (if you do enough to find out), but you like this idea of extra-curricular activities, and some of you freshmen are already beginning to make names known around Greenough Street. 91 102-104 ROW 1: Abramson, Bentley, Acevedo, Ago, Aanenson, Mr. Holton, Mr. Weeks, Christensen, Campagna, Boyer, Blumberg, Cairns.

The council was literally reborn last year when the Executive Committee granted it a charter. It has assumed its responsibilities seriously and intelligently. Particularly in the work of bringing order to the lunchroom, clearing the corridors after school hours, and chartering all the student activities the council has proved itself capable of doing its work and doing it well. The student body may be proud of it. President Herbert Broner Vice President Jerome Spier Recording Secretary-Treasurer . . Constance Cohen Corresponding Secretary Beverly Baker Member of the Executive Committee . . Joseph Simons Faculty Advisors Miss Ricker, Mrs. Barclay, Mr. Holland COURT OF JUSTICE B. H. S. ' s Court of Justice, although organized much like the Federal Supreme Court, resembles in jurisdiction the lower courts, for it was created solely to have jurisdiction over students breaking the School Council’s laws. This court, through the long arm of the Marshal Force, hales before it violators of the council’s laws. Here before the Court, the hapless offender exercises his newest right by choosing for his defense one from a panel of councilors who have been trained by the court in the intricacies and intrigues of legal principles and practices. While the Captain of Marshals, as ‘ D.A. ”, builds up his case, the defendant looks over the judges and reflects that under the charter issued this year, they are ap- pointed by a two-thirds vote of the council, rather than by popular election. However, as he awaits their verdict, he and all the other students at B.H.S. can have confidence in the integrity of the court and in its determination to apply justice to the admission of student affairs.

A lot in the case of the wearers of the red and blue arm- band — Webster says a marshal is one who keeps order at a feast or procession. The procession starts every 45 minutes at the sound of the bell, and finds the marshals alert and at their stations, directing the hustle and bustle of these passing periods. They restrain the more impatient who would dart ahead of the more leisurely conversationalists, guiding the two lines of students to a gradual disap- pearance into their next period class. As for the feast, it begins at 11:15 and continues for 90 minutes as four relays of hungry students are satisfied in the lunchroom. Certain marshals patrol the tables, push in the few empty stools or remove any stray papers left by overhasty pot-shotters. As the exodus from the lunchroom commences, the marshals turn back those who would leave before finishing their meals, and put away the oc- casional milk bottles left by the hasty. In the corridor are marshals who restrain the impatient from slipping into locker rooms, or up the stairway for a bit of last minute primping or cramming. At a nod from the marshal, as the final bell rings, the crowd is off. leaving a lunchroom that, thanks to this force, is the aftermath of a noisy, happy, but tidy feast. 98 ROW 1 : Conlin, Baker, Broner, Spier, Cohen, Schuman.

Peter Voudouris Faculty Advisor Mr. Mather 99 ALPHA n If you were to ask a Freshman at the beginning of his high-school career what his three goals of achievement at Brookline High School were, he would probably answer, “To be a marshal, to go to the Senior Prom, and to make Alpha Pi.” Now just what does this term “make Alpha Pi” mean? Well, Alpha Pi is the honorary society of the high school. It stands for excellence in the field of studies and leadership in school activities. The “make” is a little harder to explain. For the benefit of any parent who should come across this book, “make” is student vernacular. Technically it means that the student wishes to obtain the necessary points for entrance into the society. Actually the student is expressing a desire to achieve a fine scholastic record, and a wish to become a leader in the school. He ' ll have to “burn the midnight oil” and skip favorite radio programs. Moreover, he wants to become a part of the school life that begins when the one- thirty bell rings. He may be on the football team or the school paper ; he may join a language club or the Debating Society, but no matter what activity it is, the student contributes in his chosen field. Excellence and leadership- that is what Alpha Pi represents — that is what membership stands for. President Albert Cline Vice President Philip Nexon Faculty Advisor Miss Perkins STUDENT FORUM The Forum is truly a student project. It was created only last year at the request of seniors who felt the need for student education and expression in ques- tions of importance. A committee of three history teachers created the Forum. A I iss Bliss agreed to become the faculty advisor of the group, which took the name of the Student Forum. She guided the organization through its infancy, although if size of membership counts, the forum was never young. From the time of its first meeting, its membership was unusually large. Now in its second year of existence the club has over 140 members, a healthy sign that the student body of B.H.S. is interested in the adult problems of the world. At its monthly meetings the members not only have an opportunity to air their own views, but also to hear the other man’s opinions. The topic, which is chosen by the membership, may be on anything from the condition of China to the value of the P.A.C., is first discussed by a board of students or invited speakers, after which discussion is open to the students. Its purpose is not to declare right and wrong, but to stimulate ideas. The Forum examines, but it does not judge. DEBATING SOCIETY They ' re in the ring, the bell has struck, the fight is on. Their eyes a ' flashing, their tongues a’ lashing, they beat their opponents into subjection. “They are the well-known Debating Team. Noted for their perseverance and nimble wits, the society has won many a victory over class A teams, among which we proudly number Newton High and Boston Latin. Fans from far and near rush to the speech theater to listen to the forcefully presented arguments, their intent faces reflecting the interesting and intriguing program that is being given. In addition to holding outside debates, the society meets monthly for preparation of a coming debate or a discussion of some current problem. Lender the able guidance of Maurice Nesson and Joseph Simons the society has furthered student interest in important questions and has, without the use of pebbles, helped many a student orator to master as well as Demosthenes himself the art of rhetoric.

It seeks to foster an appreciation of things literary by exposing its members to erudite speakers — one of whom this year was Miss Wood of the Spanish Department. It is the most exclusive club in the school, limiting membership to those who take English and get one honor grade. One of the club’s most important func- tions is its sponsorship of the annual Creative Writing Contest. This contest, open to all students, has separate prizes for prose and poetry. This year the prose winner was Arlene Kupperstein, and Warren Cavior took the honors in the poetry division. Another highlight of this year was the combined English Club-Library Staff meeting, at which the principal attraction was Professor John Holmes of Tufts. SAGAMORE “Don’t mix up the copy.” — “Won’t somebody lend me some scissors?” — Be sure and check on the election story ! ” That ' s the “Sag” room on make-up day, but its only a part of the picture of the school paper. For a full portrait we ' d have to show you the bustling reporters tracking down the news; the long-suffering re-write editors struggling with animals called “Heads”; the feature writers in the chaos of creation ; or a member of the circulation staff whose vocabulary is filled with words like “budget”, “financial obligations”, even the joyous phrase “net profit”. Then, of course, we would have you know those children of the “Mast- Head” — the editors. Now about the paper itself. It’s B.H.S. in four pages. The “Sag” covers the news from the lunch room to the fourth floor with a special stop at the “Gym”. You ' ll find the football scores and the results of the chess tournament ; the report of the School Council and the results, of the senior elections. On the feature page are less transient subjects, such as poems, essays, even a philosophic treatise. Well, that’s the Sagamore — and that’s its candid on the left.

Who mends the pages you “accidentally” tear ? Who pastes bindings on magazines, labels on pamphlets? Who patches torn covers and pastes back pictures? Who checks the library card and stamps your book ? Who checks books for our service men in the Victory Book Compaign? Who? The more than one hundred boys and girls who make up the Library Staff. Under the direction of Mrs. Siebens and Miss La Pointe and the able leader- ship of Harold Ross, this group has been organized into an efficient team which takes the place of trained library assistants. The members come from all the Houses, but since membership is limited, there are always more candidates than can be chosen. Each member of the staff either volunteers his time during a study period or goes on duty after school hours. Their combined service makes the library possible fo r us. 1C2 President Jerry Franklin Program Chairman Carolyn Trockman Secretary-Treasurer Maurice Nessen Refreshment Chairman Dorothy Stein Faculty Advisor Mr. Wilkinson ROW 1: Franklin, Mr. Ehnes, Mr. Weeks, Richmond, Flashenberg, Singer, Miss Perkins, Hibbard, Nexon, Green, Michaels, Miss Deal, Stein.

The other contestants pat you on the back and wish you luck. You cross your fingers, hold your head high, and step out onto the stage. As you take your place, there ' s a murmur from the blur of faces. Then the vague beings on the other side of the footlights are hushed. Your hand trembles at first, but as you continue your assurance grows. Suddenly there is a burst of applause: your speech is ended. Backstage once again, the others assure you that it was swell, but you are sure it was terrible. Then comes a long period of pacing up and down while the judges make their weighty decisions. You think they ' ve been in consultation for an hour, but actually they make their decisions in less than thirty minutes — one award for the finest declamation, a second for the best original piece, and the third for the best extemporaneous address. The judges are announcing their decisions; you’re one of the lucky ones. You walk out on the stage, but you think you’re walking on a cloud — you’re a winner in Prize Speaking! Faculty Advisors . . . Miss Critchell, Mr. Flemings ACTING WORKSHOP Do you aspire to be a Cornell? Would you like to be a Lunt or a Fontanne? Perhaps it’s the screen that calls you. You feel a desire to be a Garbo or a Muni ! In the Dramatic Workshop, Miss Critchell teaches you how to walk gracefully, to talk distinctly. You learn the ABC’s of acting, — the things every artist must know. You’ll have a chance to put your knowledge into practice, for the Workshop produces several plays a year. There are three casts for each play and the finest one gives a public performance. The Dramatic Workshop is a subdivision of the Dramatic Society. The majority of members come from Roberts and Lincoln House, but any junior or senior who feels the call of the footlights is welcome, and the experience is invalu- able even if you never come nearer Broadway than Queens. It is an opportunity to put talent and imagination to work, develop poise and personality, work hard, and have a wonderful time. President Arnold Barron Vice President Mimi Feldman Secretary-Treasurer Stanley Wallace Faculty Advisor Miss Critchell DRAMATIC SOCIETY There were no speculators buying up tickets for their producti ons, there were no reviews in any of the Boston papers, and there were no two and three-week runs for the plays. There were members of the ticket committee selling tickets in the homerooms, there was a laudatory writeup by one of the reporters in the Sagamore, and at least the productions had one successful night. It would not have been the three former items that would have made the B.H.S. productions spectacular and successful. In fact it wasn’t even the latter three. The success and magnificence lay wholly in the performers, directors and technicians. Sidney Michaels’ work ; n ‘‘Richard II’’ could be a whole story in itself ; or Janine Marjolet as the Queen and Harold Schwartz as Bolingbroke in the same production, and it would be sheer insult not to give mention to the fine supporting players. No one at the performance saw Mr. Flemings, the director, but none of the players will ever forget his help, time, and jovial nature that helped them over the very hard spots. Then, of course, there was Phillip Nexon s grand portrayal of the Professor , in “Pygmalion and Gladys Levine as Mrs. Higgins. Miss Critchell must be given all the credit and praise for the superb direction of this production. From Shakespeare to Shaw in one year is quite a feat. Credit it, however, to the Dramatic Society, its advisors, and its incredible amount of talent. 104 ROW 1 : Lehrer, LeVine, Goldman, Damas- chek, Roazen.

' ' Never having known a Greek God personally, we can not vouch for the truth of the quotation, but after seeing Richard II it seems awfully hard to believe that only members of the Art Workshop could appreciate the work each did. After many hours spent in intensive research into the costumes and proposed scenery of this play, paints and easels were made ready and the paint-brushes began to fly. With the aid of Miss Horn, in conjunction with the Costume Work- shop, the sets were designed and the costumes decorated. Tn spite of the smaller amount of research and detail on the sets and costumes of “Pygmalion”, the Art Workshop did more than its share in furthering the realism of the play and adding to another Dramatic Society production. Faculty Advisor Miss Horn hr - f i |k 1 COSTUME WORKSHOP If time were to turn back a few centuries, the members of the Costume Work- shop would not be disconcerted in the least. What to wear at the duke’s ball or to the king’s court they know already, for research done with the Art Workshop on Richard II has made them authorities on fourteenth century dress. The rich and authentic effect of Richard II’s costumes was one of the most striking aspects of the play. Costume Workshop is the group who translated the Art Workshop ' s designs into reality. Many hours of work were necessary to determine whether the Art Workshop ' s designs were feasible. Hours more were spent working out pattern and deciding on materials that would give a sumptuous effect, yet be economical. As time went by, members got out their pin cushions, scissors, and tapes for the actual work of making the costumes, and with the Sewing classes, of which many of these girls are members, took over the actual sewing and fitting, completing a team-work production that was one of the outstanding accomplish- ments of the year. Faculty Advisors . . Mrs. Potter, Miss Egan, Mrs. Means STAGE ELECTRICAL STAFF When the asbestos goes up, when the house lights dim, when the spotlight starts dancing upon the curtain to find center, and when the curtain opens and the footlights go on, little does anyone realize that it was the Stage and Electrical Staffs combined that pushed those buttons and pulled those strings. On most of the printed programs are listed the characters and the actors in order of their appearance, and on the very bottom, or very likely on the back of the program, are credited in very small print “Lighting effects by ” and “Staging by Actually in order of their appearance, the Stage and Electrical Staff should be right at the top of the list on the front of the program. But that ' s justice. I wonder just who would like to go to a Dramatic Society production and see a play with a curtain closed, if such a thing is possible, sit with all the house- lights on, the spotlight on the furniture instead of on the players, the asbestos running up and down at freque nt intervals, and the footlights flashing on and off for no reason. Luckily, those above things just don ' t happen and the reason they don ' t happen is because Mr. Flemings and Mr. Holton, the faculty advisors, have brought the two staffs to such perfect unity that a mishap of any nature is absolutely out of the question. Hats off to the Stage and Electrical Staff, to Robert Hilliard and Martin Chamow, who have worked untiringly to help make such productions as “Richard IT ' and “Pygmalion” possible, and to all their assistants who have so willingly given their time and aid.

Need for such censure ceases, however, as the attention of all is focused on a member reading an English resume of the play to be performed. Up goes the curtain, and as humor is the same in any language the comic situations are fully enjoyed by the entire audience. At the intermission the members join in singing French rounds, folksongs,, or carols; all have their turn. After the play has come to a side-splitting climax, refreshments are served while the students try to express their appreciation of the play or their thanks for the refreshments in the most inexplicable (to the student) and poetic (to the teacher) of all languages, French. With an air of French liveliness and gaiety pervading all, the members depart after a salute to France in the singing of the Marseillaise. DIE DEUTSCH VEREIN “Sprechen sie Deutsch?” “Ja?” “Nein?” “Vielleicht ? That’s what the German Club wants to know. It wants to convince those who say “maybe” that it is, after all, possible to string together a simple sentence in German without laborious consultation of one ' s grammar. The club helps those baffled by the intricacies of syntax to see that they are studying a living language, not just a set of rules in a book. The novice’s shaky faith in his own ability is bolstered by the capability of those merely a year or two farther advanced. Within a few meetings one learns to apply the rules to ordinary conversation, as well as to homework and tests. Another discovery to be made is the unexpected sweetness of German songs. Somehow it’s easier to learn from a song than from a book; so sing out ! President Sumner Wayne Vice President . . . . .

Do you want to encourage our good neighbor policy ? Do you want to just enjoy yourself? Come, sit in on a meeting of El Circulo Espanol and before you know it, you ' ll “si, si” like a veteran. The talk of the senors and senoritas is quieted by “el presidente” calling “los miembros” to “atencion”. “Los estudi- antes” then focus their attention on the main feature of the program. Skits, movies, talks on “Mejico”, “Espana”, “El Sud America,” or maybe just “juegos” (that means games) are but a few of the enjoyable festivities El Circulo Espanol is famous for. There is always an informal gay time had by members, teachers, and guests putting El Circulo’just about at the top of the list in popularity. One of the main events of the year is a picnic supper at Hammond’s Woods to end up the year’s activities, with a bang.

Twice a month the workshop is taken over by these members for discussions and demonstrations relating to model plane construction and flying, as well as for actual construction of stick models, power models, and gliders. The members fly their models in state-wide contests and in the Aero Club’s own contests for promoting interest in their club. Besides this, the club members learn the “why” of airplane flying— the first principle of aerodynamics, or as Webster has it, the laws governing the action of air and gases on a moving body. When the world of tomorrow arrives, we ' ll expect to meet Aero Club members flying anything from the newest rotorjet to the plane you see in their picture. President William Toll Vice President Edward Segal Secretary Betty Wersebe Treasurer John O’Shea Faculty Advisor Mr. Warren CAMERA CLUB Although it isn ' t a school for unsuccessful amateur fishermen, it teaches the best methods of enlarging; although it isn ' t a school for pupils stumped by topic sentences, it teaches the best methods of developing. In fact, it isn’t a school for anything, it is B. H. S.’s Camera Club. Here at its bi-weekly meetings the members are given lectures and demonstrations of how to use the imposing mass of equip- ment that one finds in a darkroom, then try it for themselves in the club’s own darkroom. Composition, too, is taught, by this versatile club and with the town as its gallery, the members spend many hours getting shots to enter in club competitions as well as in the state competition. And in the remaining meetings, since a birdie is absolutely necessary to any ambitious photographer, the club conducts nature walks to get them and to teach the members how to use other impedimentia of the trade such as light meters and filters.

All these topics, and more, are taken up by the Science Club. Tours to nearby plants and industries are coupled with discussions, often illustrated by models of their own making, by future Einsteins and Curies. The information gained at the bi-weekly meetings are guaranteed to open your eyes to the much-touted “Wonders of Science”, to confound your parents when you display your newly-acquired knowl- edge, and to give you a good time as well. Maybe it is the Weather Bureau you ioin, where you take daily notes on the weather and keep the weather board by Room 331 in repair, or maybe you have started a committee of your own. In any case, you are taking the first steps in a scientific career by learning the scientific approach and technique that the club tries to encourage in all its members. President . .

The members of the Art Club echo her state- ments, not in words prhaps, but in water colors, charcoal, or even clay. What impresses you first about the Art Club is the vast amount of interest found at a meeting. Members come because they want to create and to give their feelings expression. That ' s high-sounding language, but all it means is that this is a group that likes to paint, that likes to dip their brushes in red, yellow, and blue to make a picture, or to put on paper a nicely arranged sky, a sensitive mouth. Why? For the same reason the tennis teams play tennis, or the Chess Club plays chess. The members of the Art Club lend their talents to the school. Their bright posters remind one and all to give to the Red Cross, to keep the lunchroom clean, or to go to the Sports Dance. They’re useful and happy people, these club mem- bers. They may never rival Diirer, may never make Dali uneasy, or equal Degas, but they have found out, “You can live without art, but you can’t live as well.” President Edith Schiller Secretary-Treasurer Pearl Fine Program Chairman Patricia White Faculty Advisor Miss Horn STAMP CLUB “Obuck . . . Aitutaki . . . Laurence-Marques.” What strange language is this? Could this be a group of diligent scholars polishing up their geography? No, it’s a session at that erudite organization, the Stamp Club. At each meeting these incipient experts in philately hear one of the more advanced members discuss his own collection in general and some phase of collecting in particular. He may speak of Abyssinia or Zululand and may range in subject from used revenues through commemoratives to mint airmails. Then the business side of the meeting begins. Stock books are brought out, and buying, selling, and trading are carried on briskly. With great avidity and a shrewdness rivaling that of the famed Yankee horse-traders, the members seek a Mecklenburg-Schwerin, or perhaps an Ionian Island. So if a watermark detector holds an irresistable attraction for you, if a magnifying glass is as dear to you as it was to Sherlock Holmes, pull up a perforation guide and join the fray. President Robert Abrams Faculty Advisor Mr. Smith CHESS CLUB Where a check has nothing to do with a bank, and a mate isn’t a ship’s officer ; where bloodless battles are fought, not with muscle but with mind: this is room 315, the home of the queen and the pawn, where the Chess Club holds forth weekly. Here for long hours each Friday afternoon can be found dozens of other- wise normal students, deep in thought, grimly locked in mental combat. Deathly silence reigns, a silence that would renew a study-room teacher’s faith in humanity in general and youth in particular. Then someone makes a decisive move, a few more ensue, and . . . checkmate. A small group of players, deserting their own boards, gather to recapitulate the fatal moves and to discuss how these moves might have been avoided or prevented. The ablest players in the club make up the team ; and this year, as in the two previous years, our team has won the League Championship by defeating all comers, — namely, Boston Latin, Cambridge Latin, Boston English, and Milton High School.

I 113 CENTRAL TREASURY The next time you resignedly sit through a club treasurer’s report, you would do well to think of one of the unsung forces behind the scenes — the Central Treas- ury. When one considers that there are over 45 extra-curricular organizations at B.H.S. and that the Central Treasury handles all their accounts and monetary transactions, one can realize the importance of this small but efficient group. There are payment vouchers, receipt vouchers, and checks to be typed and signed ; there are accounts to keep straight. And of course there are the club treasurers who must be initiated into the intricacies of red and black ink and of accounting in their particular ledger. From these ledgers the student bookkeeper and her assistant draw up monthly a complete report of who spent how much and, most important, how much cash remains. After an audit by Mr. Ehnes the report is sent to all school officials from Superintendent of Schools down to the lowliest faculty advisor who, we are sure, feel the same pride we do in these bookkeepers par excellence. Bookkeeper Helen Stamkris Assistant Bookkeeper .... Margaret Trimper Typists Arlene Flashburg, Sasha Schnoll, Leona Fine Assistant Treasurers Miss Nickerson, Miss Sanger, Miss Poland Treasurer Mr. Atticks RED CROSS With the support of practically every student, the Red Cross Chapter of Brookline High School has a long list of achievements for the school year. Fore- most is the extraordinarily successful membership drive in March. Throughout the year, however, come constant appeals from the Metropolitan Chapter. Could Brookline High help furnish menu covers to be used at Thanksgiving and Christ- mas in the army camps? Brookline could and did — 500 Thanksgiving menu covers and 1000 Christmas covers. Would we supply girls to help in the blood donor service? Yes, indeed! The Girls’ League sent the needed volunteers at once. Would the High School aid in the drive to collect comic books and magazines? Certainly! The students responded generously. In addition, dozens of cookies have been made, and two Christmas unit boxes have been filled and packed. Small wonder that Brookline High School has a Service Certificate from the Metro- politan Chapter, since we have shown that our students are ready with a hearty response to each call for help. President Harry Devlin Treasurer Robert Becker F acultv Advisor Mr. Edmunds BANK STAFF In spite of the onus of a misleading name, the Bank Staff works efficiently and effectively every Tuesday morning selling War Bonds and Stamps and watch- ing the vacillations in the percentage participation with all the care of a broker watching the stock market. Every week the staff carries out a carefully planned program designed to jog the memory and loosen the purse strings. Posters, slogans on the blackboards, and arresting morning notices are combined with the tellers ' salesmanship to help convert intentions into twenty-five cent stamps and twenty- five dollar bonds. After the tellers (to whom everything is as simple as A, B, C) have rushed back their envelopes by the staff’s messengers, G. H. Q., gen- eraled by Mr. Meyers, gets to work on the tabulations. Tabulations by per- centages and actual sales, tabulations by rooms and houses, all are destined for next week’s notices to cry “Excelsior to the top houses and to spur the laggards upwards. And as the weeks change to months, and months to seasons, the strik- ing results are evident. B.H.S. has flown the Minute Man Flag throughout the year and sold about $40,000 in Bonds and stamps.

One can readily see, therefore, how appropriate that name is for our B.H.S. en- semble. If your younger brother objects because these B.H.S. players haven ' t even moved rocks or trees as Orpheus did, then Noah W. points without comment to their program for the year that includes playing for the Elks and for the Women Music Teachers’ meeting at the Copley Plaza. If Webster, on the other hand, becomes too literal and says that the members number ten and not one of them plays the harp, it is your younger brother who points out that they do the work of ten of Orpheus and if they no longer use harps, well, times have changed. Then both are likely to remember that this is the body that took over the musical accompaniment of the Pirates, and, remembering the excellent music of that night, come to agreement with the rest of us that no name could be more appropriate than Orpheus for our talented ensemble. Faculty Advisor Mr. Burbank ORCHESTRA The audience gradually fills up the Auditorium to the unforgettable and inevitable “Knightsbridge March”, and settles back to enjoy the play Those fortunates in the pit, led by Mr. Joslin, retire to the front-row seats to watch. Thus, a typical Dramatic Society production is launched by the B.H.S. Orchestra. How- ever, important though its dramatic functions are, the Orchestra is by no means limited to them. It plays for Prize-Speaking and Auditorium programs, offers diversion and asylum on Parents’ Night and is also available for lodge meetings, barbecues, and high-class clam bakes. The Orchestra is composed of musicians who play for the love of music, and who really don’t need to keep cotton in their ears. Mr. Joslin, who is responsible for their work, has done a marvelous job, although he won ' t admit it, in blending them into one harmonious whole. In truth, B.H.S. can be justly proud of its Orchestra. Concert Master Albert Cline Faculty Advisor Mr. Joslin BAND As the trumpets blow, calling one and all, you can hear Johnny Jones, alias Harry James, Jr., and his companions giving out with hot licks. You can hear them at the auditorium programs, the rallies in the quadrange, at the football games, Class Day, or simply at their rehearsals, giving a performance that stirs even the most lethargic to a tapping foot or a whistling accompaniment. In fact, cars passing through Greenough Street often shut off their radios to catch the rousing beat rendered by our red and blue players. Their brass buttons and shiny uniforms attract many a spectator, but fortu- nately there’s more than a dapper garb to make our band noteworthy. Mr. Jos- lin’s grey hairs are not from the food in the lunchroom, but from developing the potential talent of the band. And it’s because of these little grey hairs that B.H.S.’s Band’s fame has spread. We aren ' t always right, but we predict that Johnny who blew that jazz horn at rehearsal and who blew down Greenough Street on Class Day may develop into the next John Philip Sousa.

But right here in our own B.H.S., present members of the newly organized Music Society will remember Billy Wolk. Does he compose? Is he a great virtuoso? Not yet, but he did do a magnificent job in bringing about the organization of this Society. When Billy brought the idea to Mr. Joslin, the faculty adviser, it was met with a great deal of enthusiasm on Mr. Joslin’s part, but at the same time he wondered if the enthusiasm on the port of the student body would be as great. Needless to say. it was, is, and probably always will be. The Music Society’s purpose is not to foster an appreciation for music, but to further the appreciation that exists in all its members. Even in the Society’s begin- nings, afternoons have been spent in listening to and discussing records, exhilarat- ing musicals, and debates on classical music versus jazz. Gloria Richmond, in spite of the fact that she is graduating this year and will have no more time to devote to the Music Society, has done a grand job in drafting the constitution and aid- ing the club over its rough spots. It is with a great deal of pride that the Murivian of 1945 can be the first to picture and praise this noteworthy organization.

CHORAL SOCIETY If. of a Monday, around three o ' clock you should meet one of the fair sex emerging from the High School humming a few bars of Funiculi , Funicula, it would probably be a stray second soprano just coming from the Choral Society. This estimable organization holds a weekly session lasting about an hour, and in spite of the complete absence of bass voices, still fills the air with melodious part singing. Aided by Mr. Burbank’s skilfull piano accompaniment, after a preliminary warm- ing up on a few arpeggios and scales, they swing into the Army Air Corps Song, or some other composition full of verve and rhythm. From there, as they find their vocal chords growing more flexible, they go into some really fine three-part har- mony. Variety is the keynote of the programs, with the result that any member of this singing group who is interested may gain a comprehensive knowledge of the wide range of good choral music. Faculty Advisor Mr. Burbank GIRLS’ VOCAL ENSEMBLE Hollywood script writers who are fond of laughing at high school glee clubs and other organizations of that family are invited to witness a performance of the Girls’ Vocal Ensemble. We are of the belief they would then adopt a more respect- ful tone toward youthful vocal societies, for the girls who make up the vocal ensemble are good, really good. We don ' t claim Lily Ponses or Grace Moores; we do claim that the girls can do a lot more than carry a tune. The Girls’ Vocal Ensemble is a small group. Their finished performances are achieved after long hours of practice with Mr. Burbank. The girls work hard and there is no such thing as individual glory. This is a group project. The ensemble entertains both at home and abroad. At home, in addition to the Christmas program, they present a Musical Assembly (that ' s our own name for Mr. Burbank’s auditorium program) and performances for various clubs. Abroad, the girls may sing at the Teachers’ Club Meetings, matching their very best voices with their very best behavior. Wherever they go the girls receive the warm welcome that their singing merits. Faculty Advisor Mr. Burbank 118 ROW 1: T. Swartz, Wolper, Coch, Parnes, Walk, G. Richmond, Childs, Adler.

It’s not an easy job writing, acting, directing, or producing a program, but the thrill of hearing your own program go over with the school makes the labor well worth while. On visiting a radio club meeting, we notice an atmosphere of deep concentration- which ensues, however, only after the president has quieted the members and assigned each group to a room. From the various groups we catch snatches of conversation concerning mikes, auditions, scripts, and even an occas- ional enthusiastic “schmaltz”. We spend the rest of the afternoon watching the performers, since preparation of broadcasting continues, even though wartime con- ditions keep them off the air. When wartime curtailment of radio is ended, the knowledge of radio technique acquired by club members will enable this group to resume their former more active program. President Bob Forman Secretary Betty MacDonald Faculty Advisor Miss Sanger SOCIAL CUSTOMS CLUB On Tuesday afternoon of every month, some forty boys and girls meet to learn how to mind their P’s and Q’s, yet still have fun. If fond parents could see their sons and daughters rivaling Miss Post in observing the social courtesies, they would be pleasantly surprised. Although the rules of etiquette are carefully observed, a more fun-loving group could not be found, demonstrating that graci- ousness adds to enjoyment. Since business comes before pleasure, the meeting opens with the usual formal business reports. When executive and mercenary matters have been com- pleted, the members are ready to hear their guest speak, watch a student of Terpsichore, or enjoy a dramatic presentation by a talented group of their fellows. As the hands of the clock climb toward four, the politely ravenous members begin to think of refreshments, and the meeting is not concluded until their appetites are appeased, if not satisfied, and an informal social hour enjoyed by all. President Selma Crystal Vice President Arlene Kupperstein Secretary Marion Rubin Treasurer Lois Bronstein Faculty Advisor Mrs. Means PIRATES OF PENZANCE Ever since the successful production of Kaarina five years ago, the school has been calling for another operetta. This year all longings were satisfied in the Pirates of Penzance. With the lifting of the curtain, the audience journeyed back through Space-Time to the England of bold, bad buccaneers, merry, mar- riageable maidens, cowardly constables, and all the other charmingly inconsistent figures of the Pirates. Here was the honest Pirate King and his band of tender- hearted bachelor pirates, with their apprentice Frederic who ungratefully antici- pated his release from the band and marriage to his amorous ex-nurse Ruth. However, when the merry, marriageable maidens came lightly tripping onto the scene, followed by their erudite father, the Major-General, endless complications developed, turning the Major-General into an orphan, pirates into burglars, and Frederic into a constable. Order was gradually evolved in the best Gilbert and Sullivan tradition and the curtain falls on a group ready to live happily ever after.” Mabel Lois Bernson Frederic Robert Peters Major-General Stanley ....

Now that we are at war the members have put more meaning into that word than ever before. You can find Girls’ League members filing endless forms at the Ration Board. They are there in the hospitals, running errands, answering telephones, carrying flowers to sick rooms. In settlement houses Girls’ League auxiliary members are keeping young children safe and happy — children who might otherwise find the street their only playground. Every Tuesday they’re rolling bandages for the Red Cross. They make themselves useful at the blood donors center. But the Girls ' League members find time to make Christmas gifts, plan weekly socials, acquaintance parties for the freshman and give an eighth-grade party. They go on trying to make pupils feel at home in B.H.S. as they steadily maintain their motto of friendship and service. President . . Vice President Secretary . . . Treasurer . . Faculty Advisor .

On the sun-baked deck, the crew of the ship, garbed in royal blue, listen attentively to “Skipper” Poland while she explains the rudiments of sailing, the ways of tying sailors’ knots, or perhaps the causes and remedies of sea-sickness. As the shore-line is sighted, the “Skipper” calls out the order to drop anchor. The afternoon of sailing with its essence of sea-life is ended. As the crew disperses, some may find their way to the ration board under the auspices of the Mariners, some may take a jaunt down to the United States Weather Bureau. But no matter what the Mariners do before or after their meet- ing hours, they are truly a worthy organization. They are a group to be looked upon with admiration for the vim and vigor with which they handle their work. Virginia Odabashian is their president this year and for her untiring work with the organization as a whole, a little special praise is due her. Perhaps their biggest sorrow is that there isn ' t a woman’s Navy in which they could sail the seven seas for the rest of their lives. Don’t say we didn’t give you inspiration. President Virginia Odabashian Secretary-Treasurer Mary Ward Faculty Advisor Miss Poland GIRL SCOUTS If you can. picture an American ship steaming in past the icebergs to dock at some cold, bleak Russian port — a ship carrying packages sent by the Russian War Relief. Down in the black, chasm-like holds of this ship would be found the many packages prepared by the Girls Scouts; a great project, but only a small cog in the Girl Scouts’ program of service. For the source of some of these packages, return to Brookline High. Here you would find not only Scouts working on Russian War Relief, but several girls busily sorting collections of crossword puzzles and cartoons destined for small scrapbooks for wounded veterans. Others are cutting out bright pictures so that the children of the invalid hospitals may find some enjoyment in pasting their own scrapbooks. Thus, you can see how the name of the Girl Scouts at Brookline High starts in a warm schoolroom and spreads, like Aladdin and his wonderful lamp, magically ’round and ’round the world. In its services both here and abroad, the Girl Scouts are a truly magnificent organization.

For wartime scarcities have changed the emphasis from cake and cookie manufacture to the preparation of nutritious meals. Although these are by no means like the rich, unbalanced feasts of former days, neither are they suggestive of the nine-day diet. The students’ bi-weekly task is to prepare a satisfactory and interesting meal, with Miss South’s instruction as their guide. They work in groups, using the most up-to-date methods and equipment, and as the saying doesn ' t go, ‘‘They prove the pudding by eating it.” The “proving” is carried out in the Home Economics Department ' s dining room, with gracious manners the accompaniment of good food. Here, too, the girls discuss the latest culinary and nutritional developments, perhaps one concerning the Massachusetts Junior Home Economic Association, which Miss South and the club helped found. Or maybe they’re all busy figuring how to stretch those red points by substituting soy beans for sirloin, liver for lamb chops, and haddock for ham. President Monya Hyman Secretary Sue Belloff Treasurer Agnes Croke Faculty Advisor Miss South LUNCHROOM STAFF At eleven-fifteen the members of the lunchroom Staff give a last hitch to their belts, put out the last desserts, and wait — but not for long. Soon the students pour in and make a dash for the food with all the pent-up force of a river at flood tide breaking through a dam. The staff, however, being used to this, sets about appeasing as many starving students as possible, while the boys with the milk carts slowly but surely work their way through the solid lines. Gradually the fury abates, and the peak load of work is transferred to the boys who man the deposit tables. They sort the plates which impatient gourmands misplace and remove stray milk bottle tops left by the hasty, as their attitudes change from vigilance to resigned acceptance of things as they are. There is a short lull before it all begins again, then again, and once again. Four times the flood rolls over and recedes. With the last recession, the weary but triumphant staff doff their gowns and retreat to the comparative peace and calm of fifth-period classes. Faculty Advisor Miss Cronan CLOTHING CLUB Are you one of the many who hopefully look through magazines and store- windows for your dream dress, but are forced to take instead one less suited to your figure but more suited to your purse? If so, you were never a member of the Clothing Club. The members of this club, whose motto is “A stitch in time saves nine” — (stitches and dollars), know all the tricks of the trade, from darning socks to running off a new evening gown. And to combine style with skill, their sewing bees are alternated with trips to fashion shows at Boston stores. From these stimulating afternoons, members return with a mind’s-eye view of a neat little number they can ' t wait to make, as well as a general idea of what’s chic this season. And so their dreams are translated by nimble fingers into up-to-the- minute costumes that are the envy of the school.

On the lighted screen before it, passes fly left and right, back and forth, red and blue clad figures dash past white lines, and body clashes against body. Its the Touchdown Club showing movies of the Newton game, and excitement is prac- tically as high as it was last fall in the stands at Newton. The purpose of the Touchdown Club is to stimulate student interest in, and attendance at, our foot- ball games, and it has certainly aroused interest with its movies of the Newton game and some other games. Headed by their able President, Paul Mullin, and composed of the members of the various football squads, it is doing a swell job in getting student participation in the games and student support of the teams. Its only reward is a mob of students turning out to cheer at the football games. President Paul Mullin Vice President Joe Sisk Secretary James Duffy Treasurers . . . Joe Keith, Pete Kalafatas Faculty Advisor Mr. Downes PEP CLUB Although an outsider might be rather startled at the sight, Pep Club mem- bers view with satisfaction the posters and streamers adorning the lunchroom : they look with gratification upon the dozens of students wearing jester ' s com- binations of red and blue hosiery, following out the color scheme in ties, skirts, and sweaters They participate gleefully in the Thanksgiving Eve Snake Dance as the line of singing, cheering students weaves slowly on its way, watched sympatheti- cally by the townspeople from Dean Road to Coolidge Corner. These two events are the white-hot climax to a series of peppy rallies preced- ing all the other games. As a result enthusiastic hordes of students shouted them- selves hoarse against Newton, heedless of the damp and cold ; for enthusistic backing in victory or defeat for our teams who give their best is the aim of the Pep Club. But their work does not stop with the football season, no indeed. Interest must be stimulated and kept up throughout the hockey, basketball, track, and baseball seasons. School spirit and needed funds are raised simultaneously through the newest venture of the Pep Club — the Sports Dances which, combin- ing fun with finance, are given as the end of each season rolls around. CHEERLEADERS When you’re up you ' re up, when you ' re down you ' re down, when you re up against B, R, O, O • K, L, , N, E, you’re upside down. The cheerleaders present a nine-point threat B for their Brightness, R for their Readiness, O for their Ozone. O for their Oomph, K for their Knack, L for their Lustiness, I for their Ingenuity, N for their Notoriety. E for their Effervescence, and all put together they spell school spirit for the red and blue and defeat to our opponents. ' I he center of gravity for all demonstrations of school spirit emenating from the Pep Club, the Band, and the student body, these cheerful lassies attend all our football games and put the whole weight of B.H.S.’s audience behind its teams. In addi- tion to this, the girls work regularly in making cheers, practicing them, and teach- ing them to the students at the rallies.

C. High-Brookline Nov. 6 Brookline-Newton On September 30, the Downesmen opened the ’44 season by downing Quincy, From the start the Red and Blue boys showed their stuff. On our 19, Bernie Naymer nipped Quincy’s bid in the bud. Then we took over, with Hal Moffie racing through tackle 52 yards for our tally. Next the Wealthy Towners smashed heavily-favored Weymouth. In the second half the Brookline boys tore into the class-B champs of ’43. On the eleventh play, Moffie went over, and brought in the extra point, adding insult to in- jury. Weymouth tried an aerial attack, to no avail. After a 40-yard heave from Collins to Keith, Adjmi crossed the line standing up. To complete the havoc, Big Paul Mull in snagged a pass and raced for the final tally. Water- town was next on our list and our familiar second-half strength made itself felt. Our kick-off went deep to their 10; they fumbled and we recovered. Keith scored from the 2 and Moffie placed the point. Keith and Adjmi went to the 3, and Moffie scored and repeated for the point. Fitchburg came to Brookline and Brookline went to town. Shortly after the kick-off. Moffie got going on our 35, and in three plays crossed the line on a 45-yard dash. In the second period, despite a penalty, Moffie plunged over from the three, then placed the point. Later, Joe Sisk blocked a punt, Jim Brennan recovered on the visitors ' 9, and Keith went around end for the third tally. A pass from Grant to Smyrnios sent him from the 39 over the goal line. On an out-of-bounds punt Grant took over on the 14 and went over, John- son booting the point. Fitchburg threatened with passes, but Jack Keith pulled one down on our 40 and in a display of broken-field running went 60 yards for our sixth score. On November fourth, undefeated, untied, un- scored on, un-everything Brookline went after underdog Belmont, and got soundly trampled on for its efforts. A week later, the Downesmen had re- covered enough to overrun Cambridge Latin. Moffie and Estes went to the 1, Adjmi scoring, and Keith bringing in the point. Later Adjmi and Moffie went to the 2 ; Dana Estes went over on a quarterback sneak and added the point likewise. In the Turkey Day Classic, a last quarter explosion snatched the hopes of victory from Brookline as a strong Orange and Black broke their five-year jinx. A score by Newton in the first period and one by Keith in the second, Moffie kicking the point, tied up the game. The teams were evenly matched, and both played well, but two bucks and a pass, piling up three tallies, put us on the short end in the last period. Th ' eir best was a little better than ours. Next vear’s stars of the gridiron, our Jayvees this year, have been an exceptionally good squad. As proof of this the scores speak for themselves. L T nder the new coach, Mr. Leroy Houghton, the boys worked hard and learned a lot. and should make next year ' s Varsity squad at least the equal of this year’s juggernaut. c . ■«v-v JL ...

Due to wartime “commando” courses and regular public sessions, the facilities of the gym could be enjoyed for only one full after- noon and a little extra time each week, although during the Christmas vaca- tion, the boys really went to town, practicing between two to four hours a day. Despite this general lack of practice time, Mr. Bruce produced a fine working machine that might even have finished first in the fast Suburban League had it not been for Newton High School’s exceptional team. Jumping for the ball at center was Captain Joe Longmoore, who had a fine year despite a bad ankle. Larry Finnegan was ready at all times to step in for Joe as an able substitute. The forward line was composed of Dave Doonan and Jerry Rich, with Roland Reed, Dick Hartman, and Joel Leavitt as alternates. Reed left at the end of the season to join the Merchant Marine. The team was ably rounded off with Bob “Smuckles” Smyrnios and Joe Mayo at guard with Sherman Clough and Russ Neagle standing by. Phil Goldman was manager of the team. The team was faced by the same player shortage which has plagued the sport at Brookline since the championship team of 1942. Of the whole group, there was only one veteran from last year’s Varsity. Smyrnios. The only other member who had seen Varsity action previously was Captain Longmoore. In the final reckoning, however, the team came out holding second place in the league with a record of seven wins and three losses, losing only to Cam- bridge, Waltham, and Newton. Despite its achievements, the team was not among those chosen to play in the annual New England Championship Tourna- ment formerly called Tech Tourney. All in all. we say “Hats off” to Mr. Bruce and the boys for turning in a fine year ' s record. The Jayvee team was comprised of Art Barron, Buddy Robinson, Stan Berkman, Paul Flanagan, Emil LaPorte, Irwin Morrison, Winsor MacKensie, and Sumner Wayne. This fine working body of undergraduates show good promise as a fine ball club of the future. VARSITY ROW 1: Doonan, Mayo, Longmore, Smyrnios, Rich.

As a whole the team was better than average and had a fair season. Jim Brennan, Murray Pearlstein, Charles Elmont, and Louis Rosenberg took the honors in the dash department, with Brennan duplicating in the “300”. In the “600”, the team was well-represented by Johnny Nahigian, Les Medford, and John Walker. The difficult hurdling event was Harry Devlin ' s and Les Medford ' s specialty. Rounding off the running events, we had a good relay team, comprised of Arthur Georgaklis, Steve Quinn, Bill Sexton, and Les Medford. We had, as can be seen, much fine ability on the running track. How- ever, we were not found lacking in the field events. In the high-jumping spot, Yuki Tatsuguchi aided our scores greatly and cleared the bar at five feet seven and three quarter inches in one meet. Steve Quinn also took part in this event, he broad jump, John Walker, Les Medford, and Vine Filipone kept jumping up around the nine foot mark. In the shot put event, we were represented by Paul Mullin, Jimmy Misho, Russ Neagle, and Bill Sexton. It can easily be seen that the team roster includes a great variety of ability. Although Coach Bates will lose the major part of his team this June because of graduation, we feel sure that he will form a fine team from the remaining material. Among the members returning in the fall will be Medford, Georgaklis, Filipone, Misho, and Quinn. Varsity manager for the team this year has been Irwin Oppenheim. Cross-country track was also lead by Captain Mcllveen. who finished tenth in a field of over a hundred entries in the annual State meet held at Franklin Park. Also running this fall was Henry Naranjo, a senior, and undergraduates Les Medford, Joe Pickett, and Bill Santoro.

H. S., gathered the greatest of his worries into a neat pile and labelled them “pitching”. His two veteran aces, Lewis and Norton, both graduated last June. Starting from scratch, he came up with last year’s first baseman, Paul Mullin, together with Kenny Curewitz and Roy Gustafson. This staff had fair possibilities although it was not known if Roy would leave for the navy in mid-season. By far the strongest position on the team was the catching spot, with Jimmy Misho and Bill Bennett, both of last year ' s varsity, and Mullin ready to fill in. As the season progressed, a battle became evident for the first-base position between Maury Simonds and last year ' s Jayvee regular, Sumner Wayne. Both players seemed to show equal merits and neither outshone the other. At second base, attempting to fill the capable shoes of Captain Ralph Collins who, at last report, was in “boot training” at Sampson, we had Bill McQueen- ney and A1 Yarkin who were also equally merited. Third base was filled by rifle-armed Bob Sklar, who was lost to the team most of last year because of a broken arm. The infield was rounded off by varsity man Jake Larson at shortstop. Last year ' s entire outfield left “en masse” at graduation, but this problem was soon solved. Infielder Hal Moffie was moved into the outfield, Jayvee Feinberg was brought up, and senior Frank O ' Connor won the third position. The team’s talent was not confined to fielding, however, as hit after hit rolled off the big bats of Mullin, Misho, Feinberg, and O’Connor. The rest of the team also showed consistent batting eyes against the rival pitchers of the Suburban League. Varsity managers for the season were Dick Rosen. Julian Leavitt, and Bob Rittenberg. The true value and purpose of a Jayvee squad can be seen in the advance- ment of four players to this year’s Varsity. Feinberg, Gustafson, MacQueeney, and Wayne were all members of last year ' s Jayvee team. A player thus receives the training and seasoning needed to make the Grade on the Varsity. Ably leading the Junior Varsity again this year was Coach Harry Downes. Making sure that the new Frosh got started on their baseball careers correctly was a new member of our faculty now in charge of the Junior De- partment, Mr. Bixby.

G. Kaltenross and Mr. Gabriel Hartstone. Mr. Kaltenross, when asked his opinion of the B.H.S. tennis team, said, “Well, the team has a lot of untried material on it, so it may not do too well, and then again, the boys may exceed our expec- tations and lead the league. At any rate, the one to watch is Co-Captain Haig Ross.” Next, your reporter paid a call on the well-known sports- caster Mr. Gabriel Hartstone, who said, “Aaaaah yeeess, there’s a good tennis team in Brookline this year. They should mow down Newton and I expect them to reach the State Championship. Keep your eye on Co- Captain Fred Hartstone.” So, according to the experts our racqueteers should do well this year. Newton, watch out!

The team was led out on the ice by Captain Ralph Collins, able defenseman who left for the service at the end of the season. Although the team was comprised mostly of under- graduates, they formed a well-working body with a lot of power and speed. Leading the first line at center was “Jug” Ernst, who was leading the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey League in scoring until he left for the Army Air Corps in mid-season. Right alongside of him were Joe Meehan and Alex Sinclair at wings. The second line was centered by Monahan, with Grant and Otto on the sides. The team was ably defended by Captain Collins and “Gundy” Kirrane, with Jack Larson and John Caulfield as alternates. Blocking the shots in the goal, we had Dana Estes, with Sonny Blanchard and Franz Zizza ready to step in. There are also other members of the team who deserve partial credit for the team’s record. Among these are Faye, Brown, Milner, and Taylor. Any Saturday night of the hockey season, a spectator at the Boston Arena could see a fine red-and-blue clad team really going to town, and doing their best to keep that old red light blinking.

First, I turned the light down low, wrapped a towel around my head and gazed into the depths of the crystal, but found the image obscured by the dimples in the ball. Undismayed, I turned the lights out altogether and placed my hands on the Ouija board, intoning all the while, “Ouija, please tell me if Brookline ' s Golf Team is going to win this year.” I felt the pointer give under my fingers and slowly move to an answer. Fearfully I looked at the message from the great beyond. The pointer hesitated at “No”, wavered to “Yes”, then swung back and stopped at — “Maybe”. So you see, dear readers, it is all in the hands of Fate — and the B.H.S. Golf Team. SCHEDULE Jan. 16 Brookline-Huntington Jan. 27 Brookline-Andover Feb. 1 Huntington-Brookline Feb. 10 Brookline-Exeter SWIMMING “Water, water , everywhere , Nor any drop to drink.” Where they are there is lots of water — and especially inside our daunt- less mermen. Full of fight, vim, vigor, vitality, and good old FLO gulped along the way, our aquatic stars crawl (Australian) along to a glorious finish and a tremendous defeat. Largely due to the fact that most of the members are “green” (which might be due to sea-sickness) the team walked off with no wins. However, the prospect for next year is unusually bright, since almost all the team is returning next year. The defeats are easily explained by the fact that they bowed to some of the strongest swimmers this side of Yale. Add to that the fact of their extreme youth (they are mostly sopho- mores or juniors) and their efforts do not present too bad a picture. Several of the boys show sufficient promise to raise great hopes for next year, but that’s next year. 140 ROW 1 : MacNeilly, Zion, Kanter, Bouchard, Cairms, Fay, Berlin, Silverstein, Leavitt, McGilliway. ROW 2: Tarlin, Finn, Sisk, Connolly, Kalafatas, Sexton, Halperin, Trisch, Stromberg, Henning, Pender, Mr. Coutts. 141 SENIOR LETTERMEN 142 OLD ENGLISH “B” I 143 VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY SCHEDULE Newton (5) — Brookline (2) Brookline (5) — Choate (0) Brookline (5) — Choate (2) Field hockey is one of the most popular and intensively practiced of all the girls’ sports as there are always more candidates than positions and the lucky ones who get them spend three afternoons a week practicing at Dean Road Playground. Here, under the capable coaching of Mrs. Brusko, the varsity hockey team was developed into a very well-coordinated machine. However, the group as a whole lacked the experience to make it a really good team, a fact that explains why the team’s first game, that with Newton, resulted in a 5-2 defeat. Nothing daunted, the team, captained by Evelyn Arnold, then took Choate. This time the outstanding playing of Louise Kelley at center forward and that of Patsy Conway at forward, backed by the other players of the “eleven” brought their schedule to a successful close by defeating Choate to the tune of 5-0 and 5-2. GIRLS’ TENNIS SCHEDL LE Times have changed since the good old days when this high school was just beginning and girls sports were mainly for developing grace and were Winter and Sprint alwavs plaved in a ladylike fashion. Of course we don ' t go in for Amazons, Girls ' Doubles Tournament ether ' ’ • “ ihe .S irls on the girls’ tennis teams are interested in playing a good game of tennis, even if their remarks sometimes concern love . Ihe team plays weekly at Dean Road Playground, striving to get a fast serve, a good backhand, an accurate forehand. Although the team does not compete with other schools, it did hold a doubles tournament as a climax to the season. 144 ROW 1 : Rubin, Silberberg, Brody, LeVine, Krafsur, Frank.

THE THREE GRACES I 147 FINAL WORD Thus with the close of the 1945 Murivian the Class of 1945, ninety-eighth to leave the gates of Brookline High School, leaves its mark on the pages of time. A successful completion of this book was due not only to the chairmen of the various committees who gave generously of their time, but also to the diligent members of the committees, particularly Harvey Roazen, and to Edward Applebaum, whose emergency work on candids made many of the informal poses of school life possible. Mr. M. Roland Blanchard and Mr. Paul A. Williams should also be thanked for their able direction of the business and editorial ends of the production respectively. The junior apprentices should not go unmentioned for they have been the errand-boys, secretaries, servants, and janitors of Murivian life. These, together with the cooperation of the faculty and students when their aid was requested, made the book possible. We hope you have liked this history of the Class and year 1945 at Brookline High School. 148 fWB BOOK IS FOR USE M IHF LIBRARY BUILDING ONL ■V. i-v •! : 5i i.V ;;. ' k ' ' ' ■ V, f t ; y.| p muz.
