Frank Herlihy—Our Producer Before any production can be undertaken, a producer, capable of such a responsibility must be engaged. He must be a man who can supervise and work with faculty com¬ mittees to help turn out academy award per¬ formances as well as future stars. The Chelsea High School Playhouse is fortunate to have found him. He is Mr. Frank Herlihy. Not only is he a graduate of the Chelsea High School but also of Boston College, class of 1928. After re¬ ceiving an A.B. degree, Mr. Herlihy went on to Boston University where he obtained a Master’s Degree in Education. By coaching and directing at the Chelsea Night School and later at the Sevin High School, he soon became familiar with the production end of educational supervision. Today, he is considered one of the most out¬ standing producers in that field. Despite the decreasing enrollment and the shortage of production materials Mr. Herlihy proves that, “The show must go on.” Take a letter to my backer, Miss Hanlon! Page Six Our Producers Looking over the cast To help make our stage productions spell “success”, only the best of directors, advisers, and actors are en¬ gaged. Yet, little or nothing is said about the men behind the curtain; those men who help us achieve our goal. Our stage manager, Mr. Robert R. Webber not onlv has had the experience at York, Maine and Saugus, Massa¬ chusetts, but also at several Maine theatres. In addition to this producing experience, he received his B. S. from Colby in 1909, and his Ed. M. from Harvard. Mr. Webber is well known for his insistence on prompt and constant attendance, whether it be leading role or a minor part. To have this production run smoothly, the problems which arise concerning the scheduling of classes, arrangement and editing of class functions, interviews of applicants, official correspondence, and coordination of de¬ partments are always met with a willing hand and a broad smile. Mr. Robert R. Webber, Our Stage Manager Page Seven People Behind Mr. Sumner M. Davis, Our Assistant Stage Manager We, the players, want to thank Mr. Davis and Mr. Kennedy for the wonderful job that they have done these three years in managing and directing. Stepping forward they are Mr. Davis and Mr. Ken- nelly. In appreciation we ' d like to write a little about them. Sumner M. Davis was horn in Nova Scotia on January 9, 1895 and was educated in Maine. In 1917 he received his Bachelor of Science Degree from Bates College, but his teaching career was in¬ terrupted by his enlistment in the Canadian Army. Finally he came to the Chelsea High School in 1923 and has been with us ever since. J. William Kennedy was born in North Belling¬ ham, Massachusetts on November 5, 1896 and at¬ tended grammar school there. He entered Bates College and left after one year to enlist in the United States Army, serving two years in France. He returned to college and graduated in 1923 re¬ ceiving his Bachelor of Science Degree and after two years he came to the Chelsea High School. He received his Master’s Degree in Education at Boston University. However, we can not forget Miss Etta Kotzen, the chief secretary and the splendid work she has done to help the stage production go along smoothly. Her untiring efforts certainly deserve our gratitude. Lastly there are the girls who work with Miss Kotzen, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Kennedy ad year in our great production. They always make themselves useful in every way possible. Yes, we are proud of our assistant stage managers and secretaries and we sincerely mean it when we say that we are grateful.

These directors have aided us in acquiring more ease and greater flu¬ ency in our speech hy round table discus¬ sions and oral themes. They have supple¬ mented this training with recordings by such great artists of the modern stage as Orson Welles and Helen Hayes. By listening to their expressive voices, we have had the op¬ portunity to hear first hand, excellent ex¬ amples of fine speech. This training in speaking has also given us poise and self- confidence. Our directors have shown us the wonders of literature by introducing us to the older classics, such as “Ivanhoe” by Scott; Modern American writings by such authors as Edna Ferber and Kenneth Roberts, author of “Captain Caution” and “Northwest Pas¬ sage” ; the drama and essays and poetry, of all times and situations. In informal class room discussions they have explained to us the complexities of poetry and verse as il¬ lustrated in Milton’s and Shakespeare’s works. They have urged us to further reading for its enjoyment and for the intel¬ lectual benefit attained by extensive reading. They have advised us in our selections of hooks for our English class libraries, which are at our disposal at all times. Mr. Stewart directing Miss Kuhn helping a starlet brush up on her lines Is that right, Mr. Green? Dreaming of Opening Nights to Come Miss Flynn, our librarian Our Lines In connection with these phases of Eng¬ lish our directors h ave emphatically stressed the importance of a broad vocabulary; for words are the very foundation of the mas¬ tering of a language. We can gain more words by intelligent reading, comprehensive speaking, and careful listening. Many stu¬ dents will find that a broad vocabulary is especially important; for a large percentage of the examinations given prior to entrance in various branches of the armed forces and certain colleges emphasize words. Along this same line of study we have had constant practice in writing original compositions and essays. In this way we have reviewed and supplemented the gram¬ mar principles while perfecting our writing style. Now, more than ever, the ability to write well is a definite asset and oftentimes imperative in this modern world which of¬ fers unlimited opportunities in the field of journalism. Yes, our English course at the Chelsea High School has been well rounded and made especially adaptable for our use in the future years. Miss Cox assigns the parts Miss Rigney, Miss Kintz, and Mr. Stewart decide on a play Miss Cogan watching stars and starlets Miss Wright coaches future Shakespeare’s We Are Coached Miss McKenna and Miss Burke direct a Spanish drama Miss Deasy directing Latin Stars Miss Mary Brodbine, Miss Connelly, and Miss Anna Brodbine, directors of French Where can we get a trot, Miss Burnett? As the cui tain rises for this scene we are in France, engaged in a lively French conversation. We are talking of the weather, the time of day, and of our health. This gives us excellent prac¬ tice m using the phrases and idioms which are necessary for travellers. But the study of French in the Chelsea High School goes beyond learning to speak the language. There is extensive drill on grammar and, in the course of the year, we each read several of the French classics. Our classes are ably directed by Miss Frances M. Connolly and Miss Anna M. Brodbine. These directors are especially well qualified since they both have traveled widely in France. Thus they can enrich our classes by giving first-hand descriptions of famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Triumphal Arch, Napoleon’s Tomb, and Notre Dame. In spite of the fact that we were at war with Germany, the German language continued to be studied at the Chelsea High School. This is a good thing, for a large number of our famous scientists, musicians, and mathematicians were German and in studying the language we uncon¬ sciously learn of these great men. We have a fine director in Miss Ruth M. Severance. Under her guidance we learn to read and write the language efficiently, we study German plays and poetry, and in addition we gain a valuable understanding of old Germany and its people. In Foreign Languages Now the scene changes and we see in the background Rome at the time of Caesar ' s reign. There are pictures of Rome and Latin mottos on the walls of the stage to put the young actors and actresses in the appropriate mood. Here we translate the story of Caesar’s Gallic Wars which can so profitably he associated with the happenings of to-day. This scene is managed by our talented directors. Miss Ella M. Deasy, and Miss Agnes E. Burnett. Under their fine direction we students learn of Roman culture and hear the amusing old Greek myths. We will never look upon Latin as a “dead language” when we realize what great benefits it has for us. For one thing, we learn the definitions of countless English words because of their derivation from Latin. Also, many of our social customs and the foundation of our system of government are taken directly from Roman civilization. The popularity and importance of the Spanish language have been increasing steadily for many years. The students of the Chelsea High School realize this; therefore the next scene is one with a Latin American atmosphere. Here, under these able directors, Miss Josephine Burke, Miss Rose McKenna, and Miss Mary Brodbine we learn the fundamentals of Spanish and also learn the customs, history, and occupations of those who speak this musical language. We also read Spanish hooks and study the lives of Spanish heroes as well as converse in Spanish with our classmates. In post-war years this knowledge of Spanish will be a great aid to us; for the future promises closer relations with South America than we have ever known. Our next setting is sunny Italy in pre-war days. Here we, the students of the Chelsea High School, many of Italian descent, study the language of this Mediterranean country making it pos¬ sible to converse with parents at home and classmates at school. Our director of this scene is the enthusiastic Mr. Albert F. Pierotti who gives us instructions in Italian grammar, literature, and poetry. Miss Severance and German players Understudies taking cues in Spanish Parlez-vous franeais? Our Future Secretaries The scene is a classroom in the Chelsea High School. The cast is a group of students of the Commercial course, being rehearsed for the greatest drama of them all—the business world. We are being taught to take our places as stenographers, bookkeepers, and business executives. These positions have gained much im¬ portance during the past few decades. Realizing this, the Chelsea High School has taken long strides in producing a well-trained graduate, ready to take her place among business associates. To ac¬ complish this, long, hard practice under the expert direction of our staff is neces¬ sary. Not only are the fundamental clerical subjects stressed, but a well balanced business background is given to acquaint us with modern business methods. But Mr. Pierotti, I for got my book. What page, Miss Israelite? Number, please? What column, Miss Harris? mm Receive their Training As sophomores, an introduction to our economic system is given with geography, taught by Miss Sylvester, in which we are familiarized with the cycle of busi¬ ness and the stories of products from the farm, mine, and factory to the family. By the junior year, we are ready for the practical clerical subjects so important in all business offices—typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Now with curtain time drawing near in addition to advanced study of these subjects, a business back¬ ground of commercial law, economics, as well as practical office procedure can be studied. And always our directors. Miss Leah E. Bennett, Mr. Arthur J. White, Mrs. Martha E. Malone, and all the others who together strived to produce the finest crop of students possible. Thus, when the curtain rises, we will have had the best possible training to be able to make our way to the top in the drama of business. Pounding the keys Mrs. Malone and Miss Hope discuss the future secretaries Mr. White, one man among many women Einsteins in Mr. O’Brien attacks an Algebra problem “Wliat does angle BOD equal?” asks Mr. Lowell Mr. Garvey and a genius of tomorrow Mechanical drawing with Miss Macdonald One of the truly interesting scenes in the great theatre of the Chelsea High School is enacted in the mathematics classroom. Here we struggle with outlines (in geometrical problems) and continually strive for top hilling (in the rank hook.) The courses in the mathematics department vary widely. The subjects range from General Mathematics, which offers us a review in fundamental mathematics, to Mathematics Gamma, which offers courses dealing with Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry of the Straight Line, and Slide Rule Pro¬ cedures. The intermediate course is Mathematics Beta, consist¬ ing of Plane Geometry and Algebra. Each of these courses is intended to give us the mathematical background that we expect to use in later life. The mathematics department plays a dual role on the stage. Besides coaching us, it gives us a sense of pride in our work. It teaches us to think correctly, to correlate facts accurately, and to work neatly. We can be sure that we, the students of the Chelsea High School, will be well prepared to face the futuristic, technical world of tomorrow.

How ' s your stabilizer, Mr. Anderson? Miss Maynard in Biology Make mine a small Coke, Mr. Cotter The present world conflict has effected an in¬ creased demand for men and women who are well-trained in the various branches of science. Because of the many advancements in technical knowledge, particular attention is paid to those persons, who possess a sound foundation in scien- tiflc information. Here, at the Chelsea High School, we are able to receive an excellent basic training in either biology, chemistry, or physics. Daily, motivated by scientific curiosity, we enter the amply equipped laboratories to delve into the secrets of science. The classroom work, including experi¬ ments and demonstrations is supplemented by films and oral topics concerning the current hap¬ penings in the world of science. All these factors, taken together, form an excellent background for further studies in the fields of science. The science department has a purpose beyond that, of teaching us book knowledge. It teaches us to think accurately and impartially, to develop an attitude of scientific curiosity, and to learn the scientific method of thinking. The quality of the directing truly accounts for the popularity of the science classes in the high school. We’ll make our own, Miss Stearns Pupils engrossed in social studies??? Mr. Hubner points out the world Social studies prepare us to understand what is going on about us and to plan our part in future events. In the American history scene we see what ingredients went into the making of our country, and we foresee what our country may become by viewing the events that have taken place in the past and their effect on society and business and judging from these happenings what may result from present conditions. It also acquaints us with our rights and privileges as well as those of the presi¬ dent, of Congress, and of the state under the Constitution. European history shows us the background of America and explains the whys and wherefores of present conditions in Europe. It also shows us how our rela¬ tions with foreign countries have grown and developed. No democracy can become greater than the people who make up its majority, so future Americans must train themselves to solve the problems of their day. bor it takes training not only to become leaders but also to become good followers. In Problems of Democracy we get this training which makes for better citizenship. Our Theatre In Economics we deal with wealth, its production, and distribution, the courses of prosperity and poverty, and thus with land, labor, capital, competition, supply and demand. The latter pair is one of the most important laws upon which the science of Economics is based. Commercial Geography makes us better acquainted with our fellow nations of the world, their exports and needed imports. It makes us conscious of their interdependence in respect to produce, trade, and industry; for most products can¬ not he manufactured under all conditions of temperature, climate, and soil. Just as the United States must rely upon other nations for certain articles of food, clothing, and commodities, other countries are forced to rely upon us for articles which they cannot produce themselves. Business Law aids us in appreciating and interpreting our laws, in under¬ standing our rights under the laws, and in conducting ourselves in a way that will best comply with the general welfare of all. If we, the actors, have learned our parts to the best of our ability, have re¬ membered the excellent advice and counselling of our directors, and have rehearsed faithfully and carefully at home as well as in school, this play should certainly be a worth-while performance. Eenie, meenie, miney, moe We have problems too- Miss Gearan Mr. Leader expounds U. S. History Set Designers Without art, the stage of life would truly be bare. For art enriches the scenery down to the smallest props. The costumes, sets, and properties are all designed by a master hand with a knowledge of color, form, and design. Of course, not everyone who passes through our art department becomes an artist and creates for the stage, but every¬ one does acquire a finer appreciation of all phases of art in life. It may be a painting on a museum wall, or a well-designed chair, or a streamlined stone, but it is still art in practical application. Those of us with talent receive a valuable well-rounded foundation and plenty of prac¬ tical experience in our fine arts department. Whenever there is a need for bond, prom, or play posters, the art department, under the able direction of Miss Pauline M. Kohl- rausch, always comes through magnificently. The Junior Red Cross, too, can always count on us for a splendid piece of work. Everyone in the art department has had a wonderful time, working with the imagina¬ tion, drawing, and painting. And this makes us realize that art intensifies the least pre¬ tentious Scenes of Life. Our Art Staff and Miss Kohlrauscli Rembrandts at work! Silence! Production now going on! Our Musicmakers We who have had music appreciation have not only added something of great value to our educations, but we have enriched our own drama. Music is truly the accompaniment to the play; for it makes the mood and meaning of the play and ornaments it. It is the triumphal march when we are happy, the elegy when we are sad, and the symphony when we are thoughtful. Anyone of us who has ever studied in the library is certainly fortunate because of its proximity to Room 209; for there is no more pleasant way of being dis¬ tracted from algebra or Latin than by the booming measures of Tchaikovsky and Beethoven. However, those of us who have actually had classes within Room 209 are even the more to he envied. In Music Appreciation, under the capable guidance of Mrs. Florence L. Simpson, we have received a good foundation for understanding and enjoying music. It is altogether the most stimulating, interesting, and relaxing period of the day. Long after graduation, the music we have learned to love will continue to be a constant companion in our daily living. Tommy Dorsey, no doubt Kay Kyser or Beethoven? Is it do or re, Mrs. Simpson? What shall it be? Our Property Men “The thingamajig is probably clogging up the whatsis,” suggests one of Mr. Arthur f. Hagan’s star players; and after a short consultation, our class in auto mechanics will soon he hard at work putting another car hack in running order. Keeping cars on the road is his wartime goal, and before he is through, every member of our class is thoroughly versed in his part and fully com¬ petent to assemble an automobile and keep it in good condition. Our printing department, under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Floyd G. Folsom, printed our programs and tickets for all events and sup¬ plied those necessary warning cards and report cards all year long. All the printed material of the Chelsea High School was done by our department. Two thousand tickets, five thousand cards, four hundred notices, every request was met on time. Printing helps those of us, who are mechani¬ cally inclined, to gain a firm foundation and practical idea of the intricate and precise demands of present day technical work. In addition to repairing the sets and furni¬ ture for all our productions, our woodwork classes during the year were able to make and mend many personal articles. Wood¬ work demands both skill and patience, and our members were fortunate in having Mr. Harold S. Jackson under whose direction both qualifies were capably and efficiently cultivated. No gas, no nothing, Mr. Hagan Our program rolls off Mr. Folsom’s presses Making our stage sets Costumes and Refreshments Needles and Pins Miss Johnson and her mix-its This machine age Since every play must have costumes, we find our sewing depart¬ ment busy at work cutting out patterns and designing the clothes necessary to make an effective appearance. The sewing classes are conducted under the competent direction of Miss Frances M. Carr and Mrs. Eleanor R. Murphy. Our girls learn many important facts about the art of sewing. They learn how to cut patterns and to make all types of clothing, such as blouses, skirts, and dresses. Because of war shortages, it is necessary for our girls to use whatever materials they have and they certainly should he compli¬ mented on a job well done. Cafeterias are an essential part of any successful theatre. We too boast of one. Our cooking department not only prepares the direc¬ tors’ lunches hut has complete charge of the cafeteria that serves the student body of the Chelsea High School so well. The cooking classes themselves are taught the very important art of preparing foods and learning how to present them in an inviting manner. The classes are under the direction of Miss Mildred L. Johnson, whose capable teaching and management will serve as a good example for all her classes to follow. Every actor needs a clean and sound body if he is to portray a leading role in the drama of life; and through the lessons learned in Physical and Commando Training classes, we can rest assured that the play called Life” will have a long and successful run. Despite the soreness and lameness which was abundant during the first couple of weeks of the Commando Training Course, we can look hack upon a pleasant experience which wimprove invaluable to us in future military exploits. From the start, Mr. Henry H. McCarthy, our instructor, wasted no time in getting;, us into splendid physical shape. Scale the wall! Under the benches! Climb the ropes! Walk the ladder!” Many a theoretical life was saved by a timely leap over our imaginary flaming pool. Within not too many months many of us will he in the service, and we hope that any experience or knowledge gained in the Commando Training Class will be helpful to us. Com¬ mando Training had its lighter and more pleasant moments too, however, for many games and sports were participated in ob¬ jectively. Between I’m on a diet, Mr. McCarthy What an army! if Good for the circulation? The Acts To keep our potential Sarah Bernhardts’ physically as well as mentally fit, a course in physical education is given to our extras, understudies, and leading ladies. Once a week we go down to the gym, line up in our gym togs, and from there on any¬ thing goes. For a warm-up, such simple exercises as picking up both feet and touching the toes are practiced. These always seem to get that drowsy look out of tired eyes. Then under the expert and watchful eye of Miss Alice M. Curly, there follows a varied pro¬ gram of either volley ball, rope swinging, or ladder walking. How proud we are of our accomplishments as we dangle fearlessly from the ladder or ropes! Then a spirited game of basketball makes us feel a match for any team. As the bell marking the end of another session rings, we dash to the showers to cool our fevered brows. Still we have no rest as there is always the inevitable mad rush to heat the final bell. With new-found vigor, we make our way back to the classrooms and look forward to more of the same the next week. Our Venuses Like their remote ancestors Give a girl a horse she can rule Waiting, waiting, always waiting Leading “On stage everybody, curtain going up in five minutes!’’ Slowly the curtain rises disclos¬ ing an office scene. Presiding at the head of a large council table, we find Senior President Joseph Smith consulting with Vice-Presi¬ dent Albert Generazzo. From the left wing entrance come our two efficient feminine leading ladies, Secretary Doris Couloumbe and Treasurer Lillian Hahesy. But let us peek hack stage; yes, let us he daring enough to see what goes on behind the scenes. The voices of the two Senior prompters and advisors, Miss Margaret M. Gearan and Mr. Earle S. Anderson are heard. They are giving the Senior Stu- dent Council their advice on how a Class formal should he pre¬ sented to an audience. As a re¬ sult, we witness a beautiful hall- ary uoris Louiomne Our troupe of actors prove to all, that time, effort, co-operation, and good sportsmanship spell success. It is hut one of the many pre¬ sentations given by our fine troupe of actors during the school year. A few of the outstanding scenes and skits which will long he remembered include: “The Thanksgiving Football Victory Dance,” “A Class Ring,” “A Pic¬ ture for Graduation,” “The Class Play,” and “Class Day,” which was the finale for the year.

Page Thirty-one From the day that the Japs attacked Pearl Harbo r, many high school boys have been anxiously awaiting the day that they might don the uniform of Uncle Sam. The Chelsea High School is very proud of her many sons who have forsaken the “Shelter of her Harbor” to venture out upon the stormy sea of war. Every day more and more of our boys are leaving us to join the ranks of the service. It does hurt to see the boys leave school, but we are proud to know that they are going to do what they can to win our victory. To date 23 boys from the 1945 class have gone into the service of their country. The lure of the Navy Blue seems to have been the strongest, for of the 23 servicemen, 13 chose the Navy. Could it be the uniform? Two of our promi¬ nent athletes, Paul Glazer and Vito Maida, both chose the Navy. The uniform does so much for a manly physique. The High School felt the “sting” of the “Draft” too, when both Hyman Traiger and Anthony Tatarouns of the football team went into the Army. The only Marine we can boast is Victor DeSchuytner, our Treasurer when we were Juniors. We are also very proud of our boys in the Coast Guard, as well as our solitary Merchant Seaman, Robert Wheeler. And the call of “The Wild Blue Yonder” just seems to have been too much for Harold Kelley. That’s right, Harold, “Nothing Can Stop the Army Air Corps”. These are only a few of our servicemen. And after this Beacon goes to press, many more boys will have left us to join the armed services. We know that these hoys are going to make us even more proud of them in the future. And when Graduation Day rolls around next May, our thoughts will turn to our class¬ mates who are with us only in spirit, not in body, because they are with the Armed Forces in our own country, and in the far corners of the earth. They have given up a great deal to do their bit to make this world a better place in which to live. We’re behind you, cheering all the way, hoys, and we sincerely hope that you will all soon be back with us again! Since only a few of our servicemen have been mentioned, here is a complete Honor Roll, as well as the pictures of a few of the boys that were given to us by their friends and families.

Meet Our President Joseph Saladino Vice President Frank de Christopher The important leading parts of our understudies have been well cast this season. When the Junior Class officers were elected by popu¬ lar vote, it was easy to see that they possessed the spirit of leadership and the ability both s’o vital in lead¬ ing a class. President Joseph Sala¬ dino, Vice-President Frank de Christopher, Secretary Gloria Ma- dow. and Treasurer Norman Rosen¬ blatt deserve special credit for their admirable efforts and their unself¬ ishness in giving freely of time and services. A note of thanks is due, also, to the Junior Council for the difficult committee tasks which its members if 1 Junior Prompter, Mr. McCarthy chats with President and Secretary Understudies undertook. The Council, elected at the same time as the officers, is composed of a boy and girl from each homeroom who represent that homeroom in the activities of the class during the year. Offering counsel and encourage¬ ment to the officers and council, in¬ stituting a system of parliamentary procedure in class meetings, plan¬ ning for the Junior Prom—all this has been the task of the Ju nior Class advisers, Miss Mildred E. Stearns and Mr. Henry H. Mc¬ Carthy. Orchids to the Junior Class Advisers, Council, and Officers for the grand success they made of the Junior Prom, by working hard and working TOGETHER.

The thinker???? “They have their exits and their entrances” wrote Shakespeare and now, as the seniors are about to make their exits, we, the sophomores, have finally lost our stage fright. September 6 was a bitter day for many, but even more so for us “sophs”. Besides using the elevator ancl walking up and down innumerable corridors, we had to bear the disdainful stigma of “silly soph”. At first it was rather difficult to get ac¬ customed to new directors, subjects, and methods and so, the feelings of us sophomores on receiving the marks of the first quarter were a mixture of delight, woe, tears, bitterness, regret, and eager¬ ness to try to do better. Much water has passed beneath the bridge since then, and we have finally adjusted ourselves to the labyrinth which is the Chelsea High School. We have invaded the realm of Caesar and George Eliot, accustomed our ears to the steady pounding of the typewriting rooms, inhaled the queer creations of the chemistry department, learned to stop creeping with fearful steps in the vicinity of the offices, settled ourselves for the long Ah, these foolish children! No food, no nothing—3rd lunch He doesn’t know either walk home under a pile of books, seasoned our squints for peer¬ ing from the balcony of the assembly hall, and trained om strides for running down the lunch room steps for a place in line. This year, too, for the first time, weekly driving lessons have been started for us under the direction of Mr. Francis D. Garvey and Mr. Albert F. Pierotti. The lessons took place during the fifth period and were given to the hoys and girls alike. Now, we the sophomores after undergoing our training period, are extras and ready to step on stage. The strenuous season recently com¬ pleted will live long in the memories of Chelsea players and fans alike. This year the Red and Black basketeers foug ht their way through a fifteen game schedule with ten victories and five setbacks to their credit. They sailed through the first five tilts defeating Lowell, Medford, Revere, Malden and Everett, all by fairly large margins. The Garveymen were riding high until they encountered Somerville at the Boston Gardens, the same Somer¬ ville who later went on to win the Greater Boston League title. Playing before a record basketball attendance for the Gar¬ den, they gave a brilliant account of them¬ selves and, although they emerged on the Pardon my hand, Choc. You tell ’em.

The right guard position was in the very capable hands of John Glowacki who, along with Born¬ stein, played the backboards to the fullest advan¬ tage for Chelsea. Starting in the left guard slot was the hard-fighting Harry Marderosian, who played air-tight defensive ball all year and ac¬ counted for a good many of Chelsea tallies. The chief substitute for the quintet was Jack Starr. He saw a great deal of action during the past season and, in the Everett contest, blew the lid ofif the game by sinking a field goal and a foul shot in the extra time to clinch the game. Chelsea finished second in the Greater Boston League with 8 wins and 4 losses. The team also entered the General Electric North Shore Tournament but were eliminated by Lynn English in the first round. Intramural Sports Intramural sports, just as all other high school activities, were curtailed and slightly restricted this year, due to lack of instructors and facilities. However, under the direction of Intramural Supervisor, Francis D. Garvey, homeroom competition in most sports was con¬ tinued. Six-man football, always one of the most popular games, was cut out entirely because of the fact that Mr. Garvey was kept busy coaching the junior high school gridsters. On the other hand, basketball not only kept up with the full program of former years, but also exceeded it. A school-wide tournament was held during March and April which in¬ cluded all sophomore, junior and senior home rooms in the building. The female element of the high school also took part in the basketball schedule, playing from September through December, coached by Mrs. Katherine Collins Flynn. These hoop activities kept basketball interest high in a basketball-minded school. Another activity for girls during the year was the swimming programs, held weekly at the Y. M. C. A. Mrs. Flynn here also served as instructor and director. Continuing on through the early spring, soft- ball games at Carter Park came to the fore, with the home rooms participating in much the same manner as in basketball. As another school year draws to a close, the Intramural Supervisors look forward to peace¬ time so that they may increase the activities for the students that they have carried, so effi¬ ciently, through four wartime years. Our Ushers As every theatre needs ushers so the Chelsea High School needs the Traffic Squad. This vear the Traffic Sciuad functioned smoothly • � • under the direction of Mr. Earle S. Anderson, a perennial class favorite, who was assisted by The Captain, Melvin Braverman. The main duties of this group, whose members are chosen on the basis of scholastic achievement and on recommendations by teachers, were: keeping things running smoothly in the corridors; pre¬ venting bottlenecks in the cafeteria; being in watchful attendance at all assemblies ; and lend¬ ing a helping hand whenever possible. Early this year the Traffic Squad was de¬ prived of the service of two of its most vigilant members, John Flaherty and Hyman Traiger. due to their entry in our country’s armed service. After over a year of faithful service in which the “C” boys took active part in practi¬ cally every important event held at our school, these Seniors and Juniors deserve the praise of all.

They Cheer Us On W hen the football season rolls around not only do we think of our team but also of the “moral-builders” of the Chelsea High School. This unit is our group of vim, vigor, and vitality, the cheerleaders. They’re here, there, everywhere, always ready, willing, and able to lead the cheers that spur our hoys on. Bursting forth with energy they add spunk, pep, and color to the games of the football season. As the team rushes to¬ wards its goal, the cheerleaders follow it to cheer in both victory or defeat. In their red skirts and white sweaters they add to the color and gayety of the football games. Under the direction of Co-Captain Lorraine Senchuck and Marie DiPietro, the group includes:. Theresa Arsenault, Lor¬ raine Fallon, Martha Franklin, Marie Pagliuso, Lillian Sako- vitch, Hilda Saladino, Ray Tkachuck, and Ruth Weiner. wri The Advertising Staff, left to right, Ruth Kaplan At Work Then we must not forget those other geniuses who have applied their deft pens to our yearbook, the contributing editors, Eleanor Bigler, Eleanor Corliss, Adele Cossin, Lillian Cushner, Ed Doherty, Margaret Duren, Irving Koretsky, Charlotte Lande, Lorraine Silverman, Rosalide Tolman, NoVman Slater, and Mayer Weisman. ......

The curtains didn ' t get very far, however, being held together by an embar¬ rassingly large safety pin, because they had been acci¬ dentally ripped during rehearsals. The audience was highly amused. Our cast backstage was mortified. The coach. Miss Mae B. Robbins of the Williams School fac¬ ulty, reassured us that whenever a play started badly, it was always successful. Miss Robbins was right the first and only amateur production of our class “The Million Dollar Kid,” (a modern comedy by Elizabeth and Walter Wright) was an overwhelming success, financially and artistically.

From the first collision between “Lorna” and “Higgins” to the ending kiss of “Benny” and “Betty Jean”, the audience had a won¬ derful time. They chuckled and roared at the impossible situation that took place in the feature office of the Daily Tribune and they marveled at the ease and skill with which our actors and actresses performed. The extremely competent and professional performance was the result of excellent coaching, superlative make-up, and crossed fingers all went into the success of the play. Also special notice is due the property man and the stage manager for their painstaking care in creating a very realistic setting. Our cast, however is impervious to Holly¬ wood and is deaf to offers from Broadway. The hit show was ' disbanded after its first performance for our cast began rehearsing for the greater drama ahead.

Music As a setting for our football games, our band lent a perfect background. Their exhili- rating and spirited music spurred the specta¬ tors on to enthusiastic cheering and our team to greater heights of victory. Our assemblies could never have been as complete and inspiring as they were had it not been for our band. Their collection of pieces number many, a few of which were introduced for the first time this season and which were most enthusiastically received. The band is under the direction of Mr. Alexander E. Cleary whose untiring efforts have made it an outstanding one. Our newly formed orchestra made its late but nonetheless worthy and entertaining ap¬ pearance at the George ashington assembly. And now it is a regular feature of the Chelsea 11 igh School Playhouse, giving a most appro¬ priate setting to our plays and other entertain- Mr. Cleary High Steppers Front Row, left to right: Lawrence Pearlstein, Arthur Zolot, Theodore Citron, Fred Aaron, Bernard De- Wolf.

First Aid The spotlight shifts and now focuses on a different wing of the theatre, the first-aid class. Under the capable guidance of Director William L. Stone and Assistant-director Alice M. Curley, we have advanced from the first stages of rehearsal and are now ready for our presentation. Each member of our class is an active participant and is carefully trained to step in and handle whatever emergency might arise. The course deals with the caring and treating of all types of wounds, no matter how slight or serious thev may be. Although the course in instructive and tends to lean on the serious side, it has its lighter and more humorous moments which add greatlv to its increasing popularity. After twenty hours of this instruction we are qualified to receive a certificate stating that we have completed the school course in Red Cross first aid. Even- one of us is so well trained that if we should even desire to go into any more ad¬ vanced forms of first aid training, such as nursing, we would easily ' be able to adapt ourselves to our new surroundings. Death, where’s your sting? Dr. Stone and Miss Curley Having trouble ? ? ? Bond Booth Buy Bonds! Uncle Sam can rely on us of the Chelsea High School to answer his call for more planes, ships, tanks, and jeeps. Since the first issue of Defense Stamps, we have purchased more than seventy thousand dollars worth and have been commended for our support by the Treasury Department. Each day Miss Sharood at the Bond Booth sells a share of democracy to eager patriots who know that their dimes or dollars will help to “back the attack’’. We, who aren ' t fighting in this war, know how to back it the right way. Much of this equipment, which we finance, bears our school’s name and is the very proof that we are supporting the cause of freedom. Understudies and leading players, however, aren’t the only purchasers of stamps and bonds—our directors are right beside us doing their share too. Our Goal—to buy more and more stamps and bonds until Victory.— The Cast The first act of our drama takes place in the corridors of the Chelsea High School play¬ house, where Mr. and Miss C. H. S. are stroll¬ ing along. They are chatting merrily when the hero, brave, though he is, says rather hesitantly, “You know our formal is coming up in three weeks, and—a—well—I’d like very much to have you go with me—if you will!” Scene two finds a rather excited heroine at the Mademoiselle Gown Shop. She is sur¬ rounded by racks and racks of lovely creations. Selecting one will really be a difficult task. With the shifting of the scene we meet Mr. C. H. S. himself. He has his problems, too. Oh yes, make no mistake, he has a car for the big night; but—what to do about gas! And if only the lady of his dreams would tell him what color gown she is going to wear—then perhaps he’d he able to order her flowers! When Act II opens, three weeks have elapsed, and it is Friday evening, December 8, 1944. The setting is the main ballroom of the Playhouse. As Mr. and Miss C. H. S. enter the building, they are greeted by the lilt¬ ing strains of Gayle May’s music. Chatting amiably with their friends they make their way to the ballroom which is festively deco¬ rated. -How lovely everyone looks; the girls in their darling gowns of billowy net and rust¬ ling taffeta ; their escorts so handsome, looking like Arrow Collar advertisements. The music is irresistable, and our Hero and Heroine are soon on the dance floor, gliding away on “The Wings of Song”. A few more dances, the com¬ paring of notes with friends, and all too soon, the evening comes to an end. Once again the ballroom merely echoes with the memories of past pleasures. Well, let ' s go What beautiful music and— Were we preparing for a First Night? A view of Cecil B. DeMille’s latest extravaganza? the weeks spent in counting money, choosing nature were for our Junior Prom. All this was rose on the evening of April 27, 1945 in placel exercises, a galaxy of lights and music, colorful the senses. With all the excitement our prom waj it was over and the house lights went on, there] could say that our [unior Prom was other than] This is afterwards Dress As the nervous stars heard a knocking at their doors announcing the “on stage” signal, little did they realize what was in store for them. This was May 18, the final dress re¬ hearsal held at the CHS playhouse. The opening act had all our outstanding per¬ formers in the roles of directors, doing every¬ thing from making a pupil stand in a corner, to explaining the theory of relativity. Act two, took place at noon, when the entire cast assembled in an auditorium scene to hear Arthur Chin, the Class Statistician, Ruth Bron- stein, the Class Historian, and Harvey Tuck, the Class Prophet. Throughout this act, musi¬ cal selections were given by the choir under the direction of Mr. Cleary. The finale, which was an evening scene, and wound up our presentation, was the annual C lass Day Dance. The curtain rose disclosing a gaily decorated ballroom with nearly every member of the Senior cast dancing to the soft, sweet strains of the orchestra. With this scene, our production was brought to a close. This presentation, although a dress rehearsal before the Opening Night perform¬ ance, will long be remembered and treasured by each and every one of us. Listen, my friends, and you shall hear the results of the statistics whtich have been com¬ piled for your listening ears. As usual, our class is divided into two main groups—the male and the female. We find the average male rises 68.5 inches above terra firma and whose pull of gravity is 155 pounds. Then, there is the average female who is only 64.5 inches tall with 120 pounds of well-shaped flesh. The outgrowth of the epidermis of both is brown, although the local beauty parlors have a variety of other colors. Now, here’s what you’ve been waiting for— the “cream of the crop” of our class of “45”. The vote for best looking among the boys was pretty well divided between Albert Generazzo and Gregory Milona and our tall, light and handsome Canadian blonde Hartley Hayes. ' Phe best looking among the fairer sex is none other than our one and only Sheila Casey. When it comes to popularity, we find Lillian Hahesv heading the list with Sheila Casey run- Rehearsal ning a close second, and many another girl voting for A1 Generazzo. The sharpest attires are seen on Ruthie Weiner and Milton Shaffer. Malcolm Green and Harvey Tuck are the co-sharers for the good reputation of having the most fertile set of little gray cells. I he most athletic senior, by an avalanche of votes, is that hig hunk of masculinity, Paul “Choc” Glazer, now a member of Uncle Sam’s team in the Navy. Talent is well scattered among us but the best can be found in our “copy hoy”, Teddy Zaitz and our artistic genius, Lillian Cushner. “ 1 ' he Million Dollar Kid’s” acting ability may well lead him to the bright lights of Broadway or Hollywood while Lil’s paintings may well he placed next to Rembrandt’s in the New York museum of Fine Arts. Now we come to the “favorites”. Chemistry ranks high as king of our best loved sub ject, although we haven’t gone so far as to put win¬ dows on the roof. Our favorite newspaper is the Boston Globe. Is it because of the irresis¬ tible Daisy Mae, or cute little Donald Duck ? “Life” is tops for reading material but, “Es¬ quire” can’t he beat for pictures. With Crosby’s crooning, “Going My Way” is a natural fav¬ orite movie production. While in the Movie W’orld, we may just as well see who our fav¬ orites are there. Winners of CHS “Oscar awards are Teddy Zaitz, Betty Davis, and Van Johnson. Find No. 1030 on your dial on any Tuesday night at 10:00 p. m. and you will hear our favorite program. Yes, Boh Hope! He only won by a nose, hut it was his own. So that’s all right. The piano, especially when Dick Paul is “tickling the ivory”, is the favorite musical instrument. Bowling and swimming are the favorites among sports. Pea jackets and hell bottom trousers are a very hig favorite, but as always, there are the few thoroughbreds who prefer the “K-9” Corp. Future ambitions range from marriage to operating an elevator in a coal mine. Although when it comes to the question of what is the most important thing in life, we find that mar¬ riage tops them all and there is a definite indi¬ cation that very very few have decided to he bachelors or old maids. Academy Awards Our Academy Awards were given this year to the three outstanding players in their respec¬ tive courses. Besides being outstanding in their school work they have participated in several extra-curricular activities. We are sure that each one will achieve success in whatever field he or she enters after leaving Chelsea High School. To Malcolm Green went an Oscar for his outstanding work in the College and Technical courses during his three years at the Chelsea High School. Malie, as we call him, has been on the Honor and High Honor Roll through¬ out his high school years, and Was on the Year- Book Executive Staff. Malie is planning to go to M. I. T. and to major in Aeronautical Engineering. Our Oscar in the Commercial Course goes to Marion Snider. Marion had been on the Honor Roll and the High Honor Roll for all three years and was also a Yearbook Repre¬ sentative in her senior year. She intends to further her education in the commercial field and we know she will do well in her future work. Flora Fonzo, our General Course recipient of the Oscar, has been on the Honor Roll throughout her years at the Chelsea High School. Besides her outstanding scholastic abil¬ ity, Flora has proved to all that she has definite artistic capabilities and is planning to enter the Vesper George School of Art in the Fall.

The final game, with Everett on Thanksgiving Day, ended in a six to six dead¬ lock. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way. Chelsea had the edge in playing ability, however, but errors early in the game caused the locals to tighten up, and pass up numerous scoring opportunities. Four fifteen-yard penalties coming to¬ gether, hurt Chelsea’s chances, but Everett could not take advantage of the sixty yards handed them. The Crimson Bomber’s score came late in the second stanza when, on five running plays, they brought the ball down from the mid-field marker to the Red and Black four. From here Conrad Pensavalle, on a naked reverse, cut off the right side of the line to score. Chelsea’s score came in the next period when Finnegan intercepted an Everett pass on the Chelsea 40 and, behind superb block¬ ing, raced to the defender’s seventeen yard line, from where Glowacki, DeNofrio, and Finnegan supplied the necessary yardage for a touchdown. Everett later offered to forfeit the game because they used an ineligible player. Because of the fact that this player saw a great deal of action in this tilt, and also because the entire Chelsea team had worked tirelessly for the honor of winning the title, Chelsea accepted.
