Swansea Free Public Library 69 Main Street Swansea, MA 02 77 V 0 The Case Record 1945 JOSEPH CASE HIGH SCHOOL SWANSEA, MASSACHUSETTS If this edition is a success, it is due not only to the mem¬ bers of the Senior class who have so willingly contributed to the making of this book, but also to everyone who has co¬ operated with us. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Reagan, particularly, who has graciously given of her time and effort in the preparation of the materials herein. To all others who have helped us, we are deeply indebted. The Staff There is an old adage: The giver should never remember, the receiver should never forget, which most aptly sums up our attitude toward Mr. Chace. Throughout our course of study he has been a man of energy and character whom we always regarded as our model. His industry in carrying the burden of his office, his devotion to duty, his insight into educational detail, his search for what is best so that his pupils may benefit, his foresight which anticipates problems and prepares their solutions, these are but a few of the qualities he has always displayed. As we depart from high school, we have before us a beacon ever guiding us to that exemplary life for which our education has fitted us; thus it is that in dedicating our Year Book to our Principal, we of the Class of 1945 render him our assurance that he need never remember; but we shall never forget.

A harmless flaming meteor shone for hair:’ Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4 In September 1941, the class of ’45 entered the Joseph Case High School. Although we were, at first, a very awkward and timid group, we overcame our deficiencies as we became accustomed to the general routine of the school. On the fifth Monday after the opening of school, we undertook the usual procedure of selecting the class officers for the ensuing year. Lawrence 1 raynor was elected President; Robert Enos, vice-president; Betty Enos, sec¬ retary; and Edna Rosen, treasurer. Mr. Thompson was chosen Class Advisor. The only activity during our Freshman year was a Valentine Dance which proved to be very successful. This was our start toward the traditional Senior Trip to New York. In June, the following officers were chosen for our Sophomore year: President, Lawrence Traynor; Vice-president, John Horgan; Secretary, Dor¬ othy Wilcox; and Treasurer, Edna Rosen. During our Sophomore year the proceeds from a Christmas Dance ma¬ terially improved our financial status. There was no further business to be considered by the class until our next regular election of class officers for the Junior year which was held in June. The officers elected were as follows: President, John Horgan; Vice-president, William Ingram; Secretary, Dorothy Wilcox; and Treasurer, Edna Rosen. After the election of officers a short meeting was held. It was decided to have a class picnic at Touisset to take place shortly after the closing of school. During our Junior year, our activities were more numerous than they had been in the previous years, the first event being a Thanksgiving Dance. After much discussion, the problem of choosing a class ring was settled. Later in the year, at one of the class meetings, it was decided to sponsor something of a new and different form of entertainment. A unique idea, proposed by our class advisor, was to sponsor a Cabaret and Dance. The event, held in March, proved to be not only entertaining but also financially successful. So ended our social activities. The election of officers followed. The leaders elected were: John Horgan, president; Lloyd Dixon, vice-president; Dorothy Wilcox, secretary; and Edna Rosen, treasurer. Because Coach Thompson accepted a position at Somerset High School, it was necessary for us to choose an advisor. Miss Sweeney was asked to serve us in the capacity, and she graciously undertook the task. After the election a short business meeting was held. It was decided to have another class picnic similar to the one at the close of our Sophomore year. Our Senior year was full of many activities as we were very anxious to raise the amount of money needed for our New York trip. Through the un¬ tiring and patient efforts of our class advisor, we were able to reach our goal. For the second time in the history of the school a year book is to be published. In the course of the year five members of the class have joined the Armed services. Two have joined the Army; and three, the Navy. The third week of March found us enjoying the much awaited trip to New York. Our greatest desire had been realized! The four years spent at Case leave many happy memories for the years to come. At this time we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Sweeney who, with untiring efforts, has guided our class to success. Mr. Chace, the faculty, and the school committee, we also thank for their cooperation and encouragement in helping us to reach our goal. ass We, the Class of 1945 of the Joseph Case High School, being of sound mind, do hereby direct that this bit of nonsense be our last will and testament. To Mr. Chace and Miss Sweeney we leave our thanks and appreciation for the guidance that they have given us through the trials and tribulations of the past years.

Signed, sealed, and delivered with all due dignity and respect, this twelfth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty five. We remain, GRAVEL GERTIE TOBACCO RHODIE My knock was answered by a dark complexioned man with an abundance of whiskers. After we exchanged greetings, my friend said, Won’t you come in? I ascended the two stairs of the house, entered the living room, and sat in my uncle’s softest easy chair. I heard that you finished the time machine that you saw in the Pop¬ ular Mechanics.” Yes, and it operates perfectly.” I want to take a trip into the future and see what my classmates will be doing in ten years.” I won’t be using it this afternoon so you’re welcome to it. Come, I’ll set it for you.” I followed my uncle into another room where the machine was. This isn’t anything like the mystery stories,” I mused. It’s a cheap one; it only works into the future; one can’t return to the past.” Maybe that’s just as well.” Where do you want to go?” Swansea,” I replied. Swansea it is,” he returned; and he set the knobs on the panel, explain¬ ing each one. It’s now nine o’clock, you’ll be back at three o’clock. I’ll have a snack ready for you.” He shut the door and in a second I found myself driv¬ ing down a wide cement highway. On the left a huge sign proclaimed: Arline Ferry’s Chicken Roost, specialty, Swansea Fried Chicken.” I turned into the dirveway. Inside, I noticed a sign: Self Service.” I walked over to the Grille; Frances Recore turned and asked, What will you have?” Nothing.” How is business?” I asked after surprised greetings. Business is bad. Cecelia Almeida discovered a gold mine in Rehoboth and is buying Arline out next week. I’ll have to hunt for a new job.” I told her I was seeking information concerning the members of the class and asked her if she knew anything of the old gang.” The only one I see regularly is Reverend Roy Bent; but Helen Martin and Blanche Lay, the taxi drivers, stop in here frequently. Come to think of it, Betty Enos comes in here with her husband once in a while. We ex¬ changed farewells; and, as I was leaving, I noticed a bottle of Raposa’s Salad Dressing on a table. I hopped into my car and was off. I hadn’t gone far when a two tone blue car pulled alongside, and the driver blew a whistle. I stopped. We’re checking on brake and light inspection stickers. Why, hello Jack.’’ I looked up and saw Corporal Bill Ingram, M. S. P. I explained the situation to him, and told him that if I got a ticket I wouldn’t be around to have the matter straightened out. Under the circumstances you may go but watch out for Constable Buf¬ fington; he’s got a heart like ice.” Well, I’ve got to be going,” Bill said; and he got into the cruiser. As he turned, I noticed the hub cap E. Denis, Air Cruiser.” I hadn’t gone a mile when I noticed a young man thumbing a ride. It was Billy Dowling so I picked him up. What are you doing?” I inquried. My car broke down so I’m walking home.” I thought a newspaper might help me along the trail of the class of I drove to a newstand. Bill bought a paper from the proprietor, Doris Ent- wistle. I asked Doris if I might see one o f the books that had drawn my at¬ tention. It was an American History book by Gene Mailly entitled They Say.” Having secured a paper, we got back into the car. About a mile farther down the road I got the inevitable flat tire. We reluctantly disembarked and were looking at the tire when a 1927 Chrysler came down the road. A grin¬ ning face popped out of the left window. That’s John Lindo.” I remarked. And Georgianna Doane. They’re married you know,” added Billy. I told him of my mission as we repaired the flat. He added these items to my list. Edna Rosen was teaching at Case; Charles Senay was the new principal; Marie Rochette and Ruth Baker were private secretaries to Herbert Hadfield, General Manager of the Durfee Theater; Eileen Cox was a wild west heroine In the movies; Armand Bolduc was coaching athletics at Case; Pichette, the Painter, had just finished building the new gym; Helen Williams was mar¬ ried, but Bill didn’t know who the lucky fellow was. I wonder who it could be,” I mused; and insisted, ' Tell me more.” He continued to report that Arthur Paulhus owned Riverview Restaurant. Jeanne Fournier and Claire Barrow were secretaries to James Peters, the steel mag¬ nate. Phyllis Crossley was selling Root Beer at the Statue of Liberty. By now I had the flat repaired, and we resumed our journey. Mr. Dowling discovered ini ar-icle in the paper about Evelyn Moniz’s Briton Pines Plan for final re¬ habilitation of Europe. The movie page revealed Lloyd Dixon co-starred with Dot Wilcox in A Sarong To Remember”, co-feature, Saga of San Quentin” with Bob Hogarth, under the stage name of Humphrey Hogarth. The next page revealed Senator Wesliicld’s stirring speech on The Coming Election.” By now we had reached our destination, the high school. It was eighth period. As we entered the drafty halls of learning, I perceived Theresa Min- ville lustily swinging a baton in the orchestra pit. We turned left into the of¬ fice and greeted principal Charles Senay. Eleanor Garnett looked up from her typewriter at the other desk. I asked Charlie if he could give me any informa¬ tion on the Class of 1945. He informed me that Shirley Larochelle and Rita Lapointe had established a florist shop and were quite prosperous. At that moment Jean Eddy, the cafeteria boss, came in and deposited the key as she was going home. Charlie continued: Theresa Boutin was running a drug store in South Swansea. Tommy Mason was operating a big dairy plant and realiz¬ ing huge profits. Doris Downey was designing and selling dresses in her own shop in Fall River. With these facts my list was complete. My watch said quarter past two. ' Til take you home, Billy. I have to be back at three o’clock.” We both wished Charlie good luck and departed. A short pleasant ride brought us to Bill’s house. As I drove up and stopped in the driveway, the side door opened and two boys came running out shouting, Daddy, Daddy.” That’s Billy Jr. and Jimmy,” explained Bill. Please come in and meet my wife.” I got out of my car and was walking across the lawn when the house faded away and my Uncle’s smiling face formed in its place. Walking home that afternoon I thought of the metamorphosis that I had witnessed. I thought of the carefree lull before life’s storm that we as a group had just passed. I., thought of the blind courage with which we faced the storm and I knew that each and every one of us would find his place in the s un. JOHN P. HORGAN oulan l O ' c Jje Gunny.

CR. C ul Each year at Case High School a senior girl is chosen, because of her outstanding Good Citizen qualifications, as a D. A. R. Girl. D. A. R. stands for Daughter of American Revolution. This is a patriotic society of women directly descended from men who saw active service in the fight for American Independence. These women tend to promote true patriotism and love for fellowmen. Edna Rosen of the class of 1945 has been rightfully chosen D. A. R. Girl. Born of Swedish parents, Edna is tall and blond with fair complexion and pale blue eyes. Her amiable nature has won her many friends and much admiration. Aside from being an honor student, she is greatly skilled in art and has shown her loyalty to the class by serving as co-art editor of the New Review, a member of the Cardinal” staff, and chairman of decorations. Edna’s dependability and sense of responsibility were soon recognized by her classmates who elected her class treasurer for four years. Being an all-around girl, Edna includes skating, bowling, swimming, and sewing among her many hobbies. We are all proud of you, Edna, and wish you a very happy and success¬ ful future.

Chace, Jr., Lloyd Baldwin, Anna Gallagher, Stacy Brown Antone Aguiar, Francisco Santos, Florence Ingram Robert Barrow The members of the Student Council are the officers of the four classes, the Senior class officers serving as the chief directors of the Student Council. Activities of the Council are: preparing rules and regula¬ tions for the government of the student body and devising means for their enforcement; setting up standards of conduct; co-operating with the faculty on school problems; and pro¬ moting the welfare of the school in different ways through all organizations. Orchestra Be prepared has been the motto of the orchestra for the past four years. Under the competent supervision of Miss Ruth B. Eddy, our orchestra has always been prepared for all occasions that have arisen. We now offer our congratulations to all its members. The orchestra is comprised of 22 students, namely: Piano: Dorothy Wilcox Adele Silva William Gunther Bells: Evelyn Moniz Violin: Josephine Taylor Cello: Florence Heys Flute: Americo Gonsalves Alice Wood Clarinet: Rueith McKenney Carolyn Swanson Charles Courchaine Stanley Hunt Saxophone: Lloyd Dixon Trumpet Sherrill Smith Kenneth Chapman Frank Chace Janice Shea James Senay Bass: Eleanor Garnett Trombone: Joan Baer Drums: Robert Hogarth Joan Kenworthy Under the excellent guidance of Miss Eddy, director, the Glee Club con¬ cludes its fifteenth year. Assisting Miss Eddy during the past year were Rueith McKenney, president; Thelma Martin, secretary; Joan Baer, treasurer; Dorothy Wilcox and Evelyn Moniz, pianists; and Bertha Lassig and Pauline Strachman, librarians. The club is now composed of seventy-three members. Because of the Man Power Shortage, the operetta, Riding Down the Skies, was postponed. It has been filed away under the category of Post-War Projects. The Minstrel Show measured up to our expectations and proved to be one of Case’s outstanding success. The Glee Club also took part in graduation exercises. These events, together with the important part it played Open House Night made up the activities of this group. Case High, Case High, Rah! Rah! Rah! These are the Cheer Leaders doing their bit with a loud and rousing cheer to send the team down the field to victory. Our peppy seven, dressed in maroon and gold outfits, keep up the spirit of the spectators as well as that of the team. Very often it was that urge on the Cheer Leaders’ part that gave the team the necessary pluck to make a touchdown. Betty Enos, being the only veteran of the cheering section of ’42, was unanimously appointed by the student council as head Cheer Leader. The group conducted several pep assemblies which as¬ sured the team of support from the whole student body and thus brought about very encouraging results. Betty Enos ’45 Rueith McKenney ’45 Ruth Baker ’45 Kathleen MacDonald ’46 Dorothy Wilcox ’45 Josephine Taylor ’46 Jean Bannister ’47 After a lapse of three years, football has been resumed at Case High. Under the direction of Coach Thompson, the 1941 team, the last team we had won the Narragansett League Championship. Since then Coach Thompson has left, and the coaching reins have been capably taken up by Mr. Robert Bannister. We started the season with a green team, but the fellows had the will to win as is proved by their record. They were beaten by only three teams all of whom had higher class ratings. Barrington, Dartmouth, and Fairhaven were the teams that beat us while we defeated Diman Vocational, Westwood, Kingston and our arch-rival Som¬ erset. This year’s team is the first in the history of the school to beat Somerset twice in one season. The players were feted at a banquet where every player was awarded a jacket; and, to the ones that earned them, letters. t Although the honor for this successful year goes to Coach Bannister— he knew what to do, and he instructed his boys well—however, we must re¬ member that the fellows on the field of friendly strife either make or break a team. Hats off to you fellows for our triumphant season. The Class of ’45 leaves Joseph Case. The many joys we’ve shared time can’t erase. Some of our boys have left and gone to war. God bring them safely back to homeland shore. As through this frenzied world we onward go, Give us the strength to conquer any foe. Our thanks to teachers who have faithful been. Of them our memories will ere be keen. And for the victory we’ll do our share To have a lasting peace reign everywhere. The time is coming now for us to tell To everyone of you a fond farewell!
