Q: ,, ,., 'T 'Wag Zack 704m If you had been a pupil in Classical lthen Worcester High Schoolft back in the l850's, on your schedule would have been ancient geography, political economy, astronomy, geology, Greek, natural theology, and natural, intellectual, and moral philosophy. Wvhewl But that's not all, once a week there would have been exer- cises in music, composition and declamation, drawing, penmanship, and spelling for the entire school. You would have had to pass a written examination in every subject at the end of each term, often with supplementary oral exams. lnstead of going to school approximately twenty-eight hours a week, as you would have gone to two daily sessions, six days a week. Of'course, if especially prompt and well-behaved during the week, you might be attending on Saturday. The records show, however, some industrious chose to remain for another day of study! And there would bc no do now, you you had been excused from scholars who long summer vacation, either. There were four terms in those days, including one in the summer, and new pupils were admitted in April provided that they could pass the entrance examinations. The city fathers did not want to waste education on those who would gain nothing from it! School, however, was 11ot work alone. lt played a lunch greater part in the social life of the students than it does today. The first extra-curricular organization was the Eucleia Debating Society, formed by the boys in l358. This was the fore- runner of the present Debating Assembly, which was started in l835 because of dissension among the members of Eucleia. ,Not until 1881 did the girls organize thc Aletheia Society for debate of the oldest active group in boys declaimed and the girls in each group. and literary discussion, which thereby gains the title the school. Each year a contest was held in which the gave readings, with a prize awarded to the best speaker 1 E 1 'm still If My mum 'lllllllhllltlllltltllltl i ff 1 aaa L3- E -,L ua. 5' I lt' --5 E,-VH t ,N l f'l T X , 0 1,51 fm- fa In N, XX fail ,ll K x T MN gg, mlm Lung ttl WIWtlllltllllllltllltIWllllt N'l I F lui!

In l.8fl.8 the first issue of the '6Excelsiorl, appeared. It was painstakingly written in the fine, spidery longhand of the period, now almost illegible, on four sheets of foolscap, and read aloud to the school every Saturday morning. The editors for each weekly edition were a boy and girl appointed by the principal. Their material consisted mostly of class compositions. The first printed paper, the nThe- saurusn, was published from 1859 to 1886. It contained flowery compositions by the students on such subjects as Spring, l-Iope,', and 'aThe Importance of Creek and Latin in Modern Lifef' editorials on school and national events tespecially during the Civil War yearslg copies of examinations, statistics called The Altar , and The Urnng and some droll bits of humor. Its notices and reviews of school happenings provide the best source of material on school life of the period. Despite the lack of transportation facilities, students in those early years enjoyed many trips and excursions. Botany and geology classes made field trips with their teachers, and groups frequently traveled to historic spots in Concord, Lexington, and Boston. One year the boys made a walking trip over the route taken by Paul Revere from Boston to Lexington in 1775. A school tradition was the June excur- sion, when the entire student body went on a picnic, perhaps to Framingham or Nahant. Another custom was the annual Christmas Party. At the banquet toasts were made. often in rhyme, to the teachers, the 'ayoung ladiesf' the uyoung gentlemen, the Nation, the State, the President, the Governor, music, the classics, and the colleges to which alumni of the school most often went, such as Harvard, Yale, Amherst and Brown. Then the tables were cleared away and the students took part in promenades and square dances, perhaps played a few games like '5Blind Man's Buiif' sang around the piano, exchanged gifts and good wishes, and departed into the snowy night. Yes, high school certainly was harder in those days, but maybe it was more fun, tool WW-,gf if f , ,gf 3 Eglin! f are Q EZQ if ,Lt Iggy-vg,.x semi'-s fff M1 lotta, if 1' ,. ,ag 1 t rxjj I uw 6-4 -Six 'VLYJ I 1 I ' f T' fa K are ffwfzff' f .. ggi 4, ' M 0' FItTittt1'ITTHU'fItnuuunIImluminmmnmulnumn a will at A s- if 'A Tw 5 1 'f Hifi 15 ' 1 0 ' M V, i w . -1 t1i1'. 7 '-' ,4 ,ff - V I . .L xzff' f I i aa' ' L E :H ,Ii Hit ,I r In , ' A 'f .,!l,f ff, tt. ,i 't ,g:.fY,:' A :nf 'f ,, ml- .-Mi 'flG?fl.1 Q25 f ' ' L 'df' ff 'fy' j If l E l V 1 ' l Inv.--5 .- --Q , ' N I X lil!!

MANNING The Class of Nineteen Forty-hve is pleased to have you with us today and on behalf of its members I welcome you to our Class Day exercises. Our activities as undergraduates of this venerable school are about to cease. Happy as we are that we are about to take our places among the thousands of our predecessors who feel honored to call this their Alma Mater, it is not without some feeling of sorrow that we come to the concluding days of our course. Time is fleeting. It seems but yesterday that we entered here as freshmen. New associations and companionships, developed over a period of four years, are about to be severed. Our high school days are over but we cannot forget how much our training at Classical has meant to us. VVe are conscious of the great traditions which, as graduates of this school, we shall have inherited. For one hundred years it has been sending forth into the com- petition of life, classes of young men and women, well grounded in the fundamentals of good citizenship and excellently prepared to practice and enjoy the better things in life. As we assume our places in its great body of alumni, we do so with pardon- able pride that we are the Centennial Class. Many who have gone before us are now in the service of our Country at war, and we bow our heads in sorrow for those who have made the supreme sacrifice. We know not what the morrow may bring to us but we cannot at this time forget the devoted service and inspiring guidance that we have received from our Principal and teachers. Nor can we overlook the sacrifices of our parents with whom we are happy to share the joys of these graduation days. To you classmates l wish to convey one last message of good cheer. We have been together for fo.ur years., Bonds of friendship and companionship have been built up which will endure as long as we live and will be enshrined in our memories forever. The longest day must have an end and the dearest friends must part. Classmates, as your spokesman today once more l bid our parents, teachers and friends a cordial welcome to these exercises. C 22 GEM MARY LOU DORWARD It was September, 1941. Bombs were falling upon London with nightly. regu- larity, Nazi troops were rolling with increrlible swiftness towarrl Moscowg Rommel was playing the fox with the British in. Africag the Near East was threatened. And American boys were looking forwarfl to the end of a year of compulsory military training. Not quite so momentous, but rather thrilling, too, was the advance of 185 of us from Tatnuck, Newton Square, Vernon Hill, and Providence Street upon Classical High School. The class of 1945 had arrived. It was some time before we became accustomed to the whereabouts of our rooms. How were we supposed to know that we had to shut the doors to the rooms in order to Hnd the numbers? Remember when we used to see Peggy Steinbeck's pig-tails bob up and down as she walked along the corridors carrying a pile of books? Remember, too, when Bill Sullivan's face grew red every time the teacher called upon him? We had hardly had time to establish our reputation for exceptional scholarship by means of our first reports when there came the shocking news on December 7 that Japan had made an attack upon Pearl l-larbor. For Freshmen there was the thrill, on the following day, of hearing President Roosevelt ask Congress to declare war. There was the sense of excitement, but we had little knowledge of how vitally this news would affect us. We went on our childish, merry Way. Gloria Shawmut was elected secretary-treasurer of Orchestra B and Don Mayo, stage manager. In sports, too, we made our presence known when Bob Veinot and Harvey Howell made our seniors recognize the twinkle of future track stars. Bobby Heon made a few big hits fboth literally and figurativelyl during our baseball season. In the literary field we learned about a Christmas in China through Marion Lanphear, about the experiences of Dr. Crenfell through Muriel Friedman, and Carolyn Knight, for the benefit of posterity, humorously protrayed Classical at one o'elock. That strenu- ous things physically were ahead of us we little thought, as under the direction of muscular Seniors we wiggled our lingers every Fourth Hour. 23 In September, 1942, Stalingrarl was still under siege. On November 8 the American and British troops landed in North, Africa. Perhaps the seriousness ol these times reflected itself in the diligence with which we studied. Phyllis Belisle, Rebecca Belisle, Symme Burstein, lna Cohen, Abbee Freed, Muriel F1'iedman,, Stanley Friedman, Marion Lanphear, Marion Lund, Nancy Nore, Beatrice Rabinovitz, Rosalie Savat, Ruth Shulinskig Margaret Steinbeck, and Aldona Yablonski earned Horace Mann ratings this year. To our pride Marion Lanphear, Muriel Friedman, and Symme Burstein were appointed to the Argus Board. We were now beginning to feel some of the war shortages. Many Veronica Lakes were seen, because there were no bobby-pinsg the boys began to wear high-water pants because there were no cuffs. The Tatnuck trolley had an increased number of patrons, because there was neither tires nor gas. Through the mass of heads we were just able to catch a glimpse of the Day twins, the Savat twins, Nancy Norc, Barbara Maskell, Leon Sill, George Gillson, Lonny Sisson, Richard Crowe, Nick Argento, ,lack Earle, Bob Allen, Peg Steinbeck, Nancy Malin, Carol Wilson, Ruth Goodridge, Mary Fetherolf, and Joan Osborne. Even when the trolley stopped sud- denly, as it often did, they did not fall down, e- there was no room. In ebruary, 1943 came the electrifying news that General Von Paulus hall been captured in Stalingrafl. W e knew that it was good news, yet it was some months before we recognized it was the turning point of the war. Air raid drills were held regularly in the classrooms. When the signal was heard, we immediately droppedieverything and rushed up to the sides of the room clinging to the blackboards for dear life. We were so quiet that had someone dropped a pin, we certainly should have heard it. Looking back upon it now, we may smile, but at that time we took the matter seriously. On September 3, 1493, Italy SllI'I'ClIll67'8fl zmconrllflionally. On September 7, we returned to Classical to the new importance of Juniors. It was now our turn to become subjected to the strenuous commando training course. We climbed ropes, flew over horses, became human boats, and tried to polka all at once. ll we did not learn anything else, at least we learned how to make three-point landings. Our vim and vigor showed itself in all our activities. Our music' groups featur- ing Marilyn Bahr, Virginia Lee, Symme Burstein, ,lacquelyn Henry, Harriet Zellen, and Helen Trainor entertained us before a capacity audience in our spacious Class- ical auditorium. Becky Belisle upset a precedent when appointed the first girl busi- ness manager of the Argus Board. For the lisrt time since 1931, Classical won the lnter High championship in track. The stars were ,lack Manning, Lonny Sisson, our fancy high jumper, 'LTiny Pierpont and Bob Giorgi, our leaping broad jumpers, and Classicalls ace, Harvey Howell. ln baseball, too, we were able to obtain the crown for the second consecutive year. ln football, hockey, and basketball we - but, on second thought, let us omit these trifling details and let our laurels rest on our track and baseball teams. 4 It was an eventful year at school, ana' the climax came Tuesday, fzuze 6, D day, a great moment for all of us. It was September, 1944. Saipan was ours, Guam too, the Philippines lay ahead. The battle of Normandy was nearing the end. The last year at Classical had begun for the class of '45, So devoted were we to the processes of education that we insisted our school session be prolonged. The authorities complied, but unforeseen elements thwarted our purpose by necessitating unexpected vacation because of too much snow, or not enough coal. We achieved at 24 least one goal: we now have a spacious, attractive cafeteria with an annex on the second floor. And we have, at long last, hot dogs . Many little fads caught our fancy, from lucky pennies tlook at lna Cohen's loafersxt to Ruth Cook's menagerie. l wonder where 4'Cookie got such an erudite name as Esmerelda? Could it he Miss Shaughnessy's influence? Jean Lcatny and Jean Desper captained the hocky team and basketball team respectively with eager enthusiasm. The least said. however, about these sports and the others, the hetter, lt was not Classical's year. Chatham Street acquired a new tone and color from the splendor of the cars parked there during school hours. There really was no fire, that contraption was only Bishop Covell's flaming red gas eater. There was no need to shove and push, l'lowcll's chariot could accommodate no more than fifteen. The overflow had to resort to Boh Allenis commodious coupe. Nick Argento, too, breezed about in his various cars t?l with all the windows down or out. During this year, we elected our First class ollicers: ,lack Manning, presidentg ,lean Leamy, vice-presidentg Marion Lanphear, secretaryg and Laurence Sisson, treasurer. v On January l2, l9Ll-5 the four high schools of Worcester held their first phys- ical fitness exhihition in the Municipal Auditorium. Dedicated to our boys in the service, the demonstration was vcry impressive. None of us will ever forget the un- folding of golden streamers which revealed the heautiful NV for victory. With our heads howed in reverence we prayed for the thirty-four Classical boys who have sacrificed their lives for our country. The war came eves closer to us as one hy one boys left us to join the Armed Services. Warren Seder was the first to go, followed by Roger Crerie, Paul Degnan, llohert llein. lioherl. Kelley. Robert Langevin, Auhyn Freed, David Friedman, Arthur Katzcnson, ltolmert Lanciault, Arthur Harrison, Donald Berg, Donald Connors, John Donohue, Philip Greer, Raymond Calipeau, Noah Gordon, Raymond Haddad, Kenj lieth Hardy, ,lohn Jahlonski, Martin Pulda, Crillith Dick, Thomas Smith, Allen Rubin, Ernest Stebbins, and Lester Werhlin. On. April 13, l'rcsiflenl Roosevelfs clealh. shocherl the worlrl. President Harry S. TI'll-IIIIIII flezlicatezl himself to carrying out the policies for which Mr. Roosevelt hall worlcml aml fliefl. The annual spring concert, held on April 26, was a great success. We dis- covered that in Virginia Lee, Althea Weinstein, Constance Savat, Marilyn Bahr, Nancy Noro, Gloria Shawmut, lluth McTighe, was the musical talent of our class. Symme Burstein not only took part in the concert, hut wrote the words for one of the selections. Under Mr. Wlassellls able direction Classicalas Musical Organization upheld its long-estahlished reputation. l945 marks the one-hundredth hirthday of Classical High School, and for so important an anniversary, a special program as well as a special class has been pro- vidd. On Wednesday night at the Athletic Field the Class of 19415 will join the long list of those who owe so much to Classical High. The United Nations have meet in San Francisco to lay lhe !0lllIl1lfIlli0l1 of a uvorlfl organization for peace. Russian, British, Canarlian, Ifrench, mul American armies are in Germany. Against a bach- groaml of worlrl-slialring events the Class of 1945 has livefl its life in Classical High School. 25 GZM4 Uaaifian rfwfaft re - -- at Me f2...tz.wa. ww y JOHN EARLE During the present years, more than ever before in history perhaps, everyone has been looking forward to the end of war. Hopes are high that at last we shall have a just and enduring peace. lt is becoming universally believed that now this is emerging into more than a probability. Who will see that the aspirations of the people are fulhlled? This is eventually a task for youth. Our older brothers have done much to reach this objective. We must be prepared for it. The coming of peace will create a challenging opportunity to rebuild the world. Not only must we construct new homes. and help to place the oppressed nations on a sound footing economically, but we must restore their faith that humanity is still activated by motives that are worthy. We must instill in them a conviction that lree- dom.from the fear of war can be assured only by the cooperation and interest of all. A vast educational system must be established throughout the world. The back- ward nations must be given strong support so that their people may experience the benefits of true progress. This can be accomplished if we, in the United States, actually believe these things ourselves and start practicing what we preach. lt will take a great deal of sweat from a great many brows. The Youth of America must make themselves examples suitable for others to follow. We must accept the responsibility of being individuals. Our ancestors who came to this country had their own ideals and they thought for themselves. Ame1'ica allowed them, and helped them greatly in the effort, to become rugged individualists. Frontier life demanded of them the self-confidence and con- stant quick thinking of every citizen. Carving a living from the wilderness, they had to become dependent upon themselves. Here was born Yankee ingenuity. Com- mon sense also was one of their every-day attributes. These people united so that they could retain their freedom for each individual. Perhaps these pioneers left their native lands and came to the New World be- 26 cause they were ahead of their time in demanding the privileges and obligations necessary for their democratic individuality. As a nation, we, their descendants and beneficiaries. pride ourselves on being foremost in a great many fields and being always willing to take the initiative. Woodrow Wilson tried to unite all the nations of the world against the common enemy - war. He was therefore against that gangsterism and greed which foment a conflict. The people of these several nations were unprepared to endorse this radical plan. It was to them, as well as to many of own people, dangerously idealistic and against all previous doctrines. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose lamented death came so untimely, championed this cause of world freedom and permanent peace to the very last. Let us each make sure that we, at long last, are definitely prepared for such a program. 'Gln unity there is strengthn. The united body will be only as strong as its individual members, which will be all the nations. The strength of these nations and that of their chosen leaders is based on the strength of each person in the country. We must always remember our democratic American principles as we seek to establish a free world. If the success of a Federation of Nations depends, and I believe it does, on the ideals of youth, these standards must be broad, high, and yet realistic. Then we can have a world united against tyranny, oppression, and all types of discrimination. Special effort should be made to assure social justice to all racial groups here at home and abroad. Let us make sure that no race eveig again will be made to sutler as much as o11e has during the present confiict. No man is superior or inferior to others merely because of his religion, his ancestry, or the color of his skin. The principles of Christianity should be the cornerstone of our house of free and united nations. The tenants must believe in the brotherhood of man and must follow Our Lord's leadership. If we do not follow our religious convictions, how can we hope for a permanent peace? Let us really give Christianity a chance! The youth, again, must uphold the govermnent of these United States and must see that it responds to the dictates of the people. Remember, this is our country and not merely that of our governing leaders, we are supposed to control it and, if at any time important issues seem improperly handled, it is our duty to investigate and at the next election, or whenever may be the Hrst chance, register our complaints. We must maintain a clear and definite relation with other nations. A ugood- neighbor policy should be upheld, instead of solely a foreign policy. Ignorance and, misunderstanding on the part of our people about other nations must disappear. We must keep ourselves constantly informed, help others to be conscious of outside conditions, and then see if our principles are properly reflected in our political atti- tude. lnternationalism must be more than a sixteen-letter word. ln rebuilding after the peace, keen intelligence on the part of planning boards and those who carry out their conclusions is a prime requisite. The advice of older people should be carefully considered, but we must constantly bear in mind that it is going to be more and more our world every bit as much as theirs. Our decisions should therefore partake of our own ideals. This is a tremendous task. Obstacles will pile up before us. Century-old cus- toms and public thinking in certain countries may have to be altered. There is always some opposition toward progressive movement. At times it may be in power- ful hands, but the realization that our cause is right should giveus renewed strength and make certain the attainment of our purpose. 27 Glas ZW!! I if .

Most recent personage on the Classical scene was Our Gus, an invisible white rabbit who snooped around gathering Tickletoes. Another newcomer was ,lennifer Derkle, Class- ical's feminine Henry Aldrich. A NBoy and Girl of the Month page brought into the limelight several students of unusual, talent. ln the enlarged section for service- men, an informal HGuest Book gave interesting news about our uniformed visitors. 'cThyme, the April Fool Issue, was a parody of a national magazine. A special Memorial Issue was dedicated to our late President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and to our alumni who have given their lives for their country. The customary Senior Issue in June ended a successful season. 56 leiheza This season the six monthly meetings of the Aletheia Club were devoted to vari- ous phases of American literature and music. ln November, Rosalie Savat conducted a What's My Name?,, quiz about American classics. The January meeting was devoted to a discussion of current best-sellers, with reviews, of QA Tree Grows in Brooklyn , by Betty Smith, and Green Dolphin Street , by Elizabeth Goudge. At the next session, selections from the poetry of Walt Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Ogden Nash were read and discussed. Recordings from '4Showboat',, by .lerome Kern, 'LThe Grand Canyon Suiten, by Ferde Grofe, and ulohnny Comes Marching Home , by Roy Harris, highlighted the March program. ln April, Yankee from Olympus , by Catherine Drinker Bowen, The Fountainheadv, by Ayn Randg and Wllhe Green Yearsn, by A.

Two new policies were instituted in the Debating Club this year which were greeted with high approval by all. First, a different secretary and president were chosen at each meeting to give more boys an opportunity to take an active part in managing the organization. Second, instead of the usual debate, a declamation con- test was presented to the student body. There were plenty of controversial subjects to use for the debates at the regular meetings of the club. Such problems as the Unitd States should have military train- ingg the voting age should be lowered to eighteeng colonial empires are a menace to the world peace were eagerly discussed and argued. The declamation contest on May 2 was a very successful undertaking. The winning of first place was. declared to be a tie between Seymour Weinstein and Ken- neth Slovin. Mitchell Jeffe, Jeffrey OlConnell and Alan Haberman also made an excellent presentation. . Despite the handicaps imposed by the two cfclock closing and the consequent reduction in membership, the year has not been entirely without results. 58 n 4 IJ 446016 The Pythagorean Club, long an attraction for mathematically minded students, had a very successful year. Many interesting and cliversiliecl programs were presented to an attentive audi- ence. Rosalie Savat gave a talk on the fourth dimension, an abstract subject for those whose aptitudes did not include mathematics. The intriguing properties of the magic square were entertainingly presented by Ruth Scully. Because of the appeal of the subject for Robert Allen and Robert Giorgi, these boys discussed mathematics, in relation to aviation. Eunice Brunell spoke on: Numerals of the Ancient WO1'ld - Hindu, Mayan, Egyptian, Creek, Roman, and Chinese. These topics brought about a more t.'0I11l3l'Cll6llSlVC undcrstancling of mathematics. .

Most of its attention was focused on the April concert. The numbers they played were 'gljomp and Cir- cumstance' by Elgar and Rondo by Mozart. Three original works by members of the Orchestra were presented as solos. Sidney Woloshin, violinist, was heard in 'his own composition, uRomance,' and Harriet Zellen, pianist, played two pieces. by Samuel Adler titled A1'abesque and Jazziana . Adler plays in the first violin section of the Orchestra and has shown great promise as a composer. President . .... SAMUEL ADLER V ice-President SIDNEY WOLOSHIN, MARILYN BAHR Secretary . ....

The name of it was Mother Goose Town and it was a clever adaptation of the familiar nursery rhymes set to niusic. An accompanying narrative was espe- cially well read by Nancy Nore. The girls sang also Somewhere a Child ls Sing- ingn by Dykema, and they were accompanied by Marilyn Bahr and Muriel Good- man, violing and Mary Plunkett and Constance Savat, flutes. Other Girls Glee Club soloists were Beatrice Molnar, pianist, who playegl .two numbers and Barbara Alhemovich, soprano.

At each bi-weekly meeting, members discussed various aspects of stump collecting, and compared stamps. ln connection with the 4'Wor- cester and the Worldn program, members gave talks on the country of the week and the unusual stamps that it issues. On Parents, Night Classical's philatelists held an exhibit of the rarest items in their collection. Several auctions have been held during the year and the club recently sponsored a bowling party.

The members inspected the workings of the Photography Department of the W01'CCSt61' Telegram and Gazette. They arranged monthly con- tests Whose results were posted on the bulletin board and carried on an exchange of prints with camera fans of other high schools. Another project was the presenta- tion of slides and lectures which had been sent to them by the Eastman Kodak Com- pany. The Argus this year contained photographs contributed by the Club. The additions of these snapshots, which were taken by students among school settings and at the Hi-Y dance, were enthusiastically welcomed by all. President . L1oNm. GLAZER Vice-President .

At the meetings, held every Friday' afternoon, any old business at hand is quickly disposed of, and the members spend the rest of the time playing chess. The team is determined by the outcome of an elimination tournament. Contrary to the custom of previous years, there were no contests held with other schools this season. In the last contest conducted, Frank Harding was the victor, with Mitchell Jaffe placing second, and' Walter Vifhenmau third. The Chess Club, in recent years, has been one of the most popular clubs for boys in the building. P1-e.wTa'enr . . . NIITCI-IELL JAFFE Ist Vice President . .

At the first committee meeting, Mr. Brennan, former history teacher at Classical, gave a talk on the way to conduct a history club. He suggested that debatable sub- jects such as current events and reviews of books dealing with history be discussed. Nancy Curley was Program Chairman for the next meeting.

Zlwfddl C1assical's gridiron edition for 194-4 boasted of a colorful display of individual talent. Possessors of a great line and the best backfield in the city, our razzle-dazzle boys found their way ,ig to the championship blocked by bad breaks. f ' The record of four victories against three defeats is. dimcult to comprehend when we find that in each of the games lost, the Classicalites oulran, outkicked, and outpassed their opponent. Featured in the forward wall were such stalwarts as Bob Swan, Roger Crerie, Dave Hersh, and Jim Horgan, all members of the honorary Inter-High team. Performing in the backfield were halfbacks, Dave Oswell and ,lim Kenary, fullback Ben Patrick, and Red Kelleher, Inter-High quarterback. The entire team operated as a practiced club. There are high hopes for next year when the whole backiield, with the exception of Kelleher, will be back to lead Classical to its rightful place as Inter-High champions.

Last year our boys presented us with the lnter-High baseball crown, and this year we are looking forward to a repeat performance. The future looks bright for, at this writing., our nine has already won their first game by trimming Commerce 6-3. Capt. 'gLolly,, Harney hurled a three-hitter to give Classical the victory. This yearis team is practically the same as last yearis. Ben Patrick, the main cog in our baseball machine, is again behind the plate. uZig Kenary at first, Bob Heon at second, and Tom O,Connor, shortstop, were all mem- bers of last year's champion nine. Third baseman Phil Philip is the only newcomer to the infield. Bill Valinski, Bob Calipeau, and Cale Bennett comprise a smooth outfield, the latter two being veterans of a year ago. The pitching staff is well stocked with talent. Capt. 'LLolly'7 Harney is' our ace 4'ehucker',, but Red Kelleher and Thornton Gilford will help to win their share of the victories. Fortunately every member of the team is a capable hitter. 72 'hack With Captain Harvey Howell on the sidelines, ,lack Cantwell's track forces fell short ol' advance notices and copped third place in the Inter-High track and field meet. Lonnie Sisson, a consistent winner in the high jump and H3002 was the big point winner. In the field events Vin Mikoloski led the way with some classy shot- putting, while Sumner Herman and Bob Giorgi displayed plenty of skill in the 25- yard dashes. Leon Kessler, Nick Argento, and ,lack Manning rounded out the array as strong inen in the 600 and l000',. In the State lnterscholastic Meet at the Boston Garden, the Tigers carried off fourth honors, Howell taking first place in the hurdles and Sisson, second place in the high jump.

Ever since the day he was raised, For one hundred years she's stood and gazed Al the odd assortment of shape and size Passing daily beneath her eyes, And nothing as yct has found her amazed. Fashions have switched from had to good Faster than ever we thought they couldg But Classical's stayed quite serene, In spite of changes she has seen, And remained aloof as a lady should. Hoopskirts as wide as a barn gave way To hobble skirts tighter than I can sayg Dresses were raised in hopes theyid please, To n1ore than two inches above the knees, And sweaters have come on the scene to stay. Shoes also changed from high to low, Buttons to open heel and toe, Hats have grown from feathers to fluff, From much too much to not enoughg And hobby socks came as an awful blow. 1900 was the birth of the automobile, A horrid construction of willpower and steel, But Classical took it all with a grin, And wiped the axle grease from her chin, As she looked to the future with extra zeal. The years that followed didn't fail, She passed them through sun and sleet and hail, She saw a war, its end, and then She saw another war again, And wondered why peace was to no avail. A hurricane caught her once by surprise, And knocked her hat down onto her eyes, But after all what did she care As long as Room Four still was there, She went back to work with the slightest of sighs. And so she lived on 'mid laughter and tears, lvith praise and acclaim, with snickers and jeers, tThe latter from rival high schools, of course! And so l can say, without any remorse, She's good at least for a hundred more years. 83 Smamml!wS Ruth Goodridge There is a girl at Classical Who's shy, demure and sweet But when it comes to basketball Shels one that you canlt beat. A member of the History Club Shels liked by all the class You probably have guessed by Ruth Goodridge is the lass. Grace Underwood lf you hear a girl giggle And perhaps see her rise To sing and perform Well, don't be surprised. lt's just Grace entertaining ln her own little way To break the monotony Of a dreary school day. Harriet Zellen She plays the piano With skill and with care. For the composing of music She has quite a flair. She'll surely go far And gain herself fame A talented senior Harriet Zellenls her name. Carol Wilson When you see a girl knitting Maybe sweater or socks Witll needles fast clicking Never thinking of clocks. ltls sure to be Carol lndustrious and clever She looks very special ln all kinds of weather. Nancy Mahn She has eyes that are browng She's short and she's snappy. She has hair that is black, And she always is happy, She's sure to succeed That fact we all know. Good luck to you, Nancy. You've got far to go. HOW Rebecca Belisle There is a certain red-head Of whom we all are fond lVliddlebury,s the school she's chosen From here to carry on.

Harvey Howell He plays on the trumpet And sounds just the same As that man out in Hollywood They call Harry James. Heis very good looking Almost like Bill Powell You must know by now That l mean Harvey Howell. James Redican Classical has its heroes lts stars of track and ball. A drop-kick 111211135 a winner Even though he's not so tall. Jimmy comes in handy Whether in music or in games He drums his way to favor Or runs his way to fame. Laurence Sisson Here's to Lonnie Sisson A track star of note. He covers the ground And just seems to float. l-le's won many honors And made many friends. Welll all miss him greatly As. our High School life ends. 84- eladdicaf Ealfacf There is a school on Irving Street, Classical's its name, there are three seniors-each named John- Who helped to bring it fame. They stood before the ollice door, 0,Malley, Manning, and Earle Watching the girls come back from gym With their hair all out of curl. Now Manning and Earle were upright and good, But 0,Malley, alas, was 'not. For as he watched the girls limp by l-le was planning a cruel plot. With wicked smile he stood before The first girl in the line, And in the damselis clear blue eyes A mirror he did shine. The maiden screamed when she saw her locks, And fell to the lioor in a swoon, For all the curl had left her hair And it was. scarcely noon. Then up the hall, like knights of old, Came heroes Manning and Earle. With spirits high and battle ery To help the fainting girl. Manning said, as he gave a shove, uljlease to let me pass. It's my duty to have this girl '77 As president of the class. What do you know about girls, my man?,' Said Earle with a scornful sneer. l'Stand back for eligible Mister Bangsn. And he gave a rousing cheer. Manning's face was black with rage Then Earle did something drastic, From out his coat he pulled a sword, But it was only plastic. The fight was on, the blows came fast. O'Malley laughed with glee, But then he spied the maiden fair, Upon the floor was she. He realized then the thing he'd done l-le wished he could have died, She looked so pale it broke his heart, He rushed right to her side. She stirred and op'ed her bright blue eyes, Amid the sounds of strife, She looked into O7Malley's eyes, HO John, you've saved my lifef' For disturbing the school, Room 4 is now home, To seniors Manning and Earle, And they stilie a cry, as they see strutting by, 0,Malley and his girl. 85 Glwuzcal Jlzgh Sdmal - .2045 The fashionably red-striped helicopter hovered above the parking lot and then, accompanied by a series of spurts and sputters, landed. There was hardly a second's pause before eight human beings emerged from the tiny two-seater, streaked across the emerald lawn fdodging the flower bedsl and disappeared into a beautiful white structure of steel and glass known as the Classical High School. The late-comers were well known around the school, they were called the people who belonged to Howell,s copter. ' .One of these boys is our hero, whose name is Henry, a typically industrious student whose typical industrious day we are privileged to observe. He entered an elevator at the end of the long, sun-lit corridor, pushed a button, rose to the seventh floor, stepped out, and rushed into his home-room just as the 8:15 bell was sounding its musical notes. As soon as the morning exercises were over, he opened his desk and surveyed the books in it. There were several, among them Kessler's 'fin and Out of the Fourth Dimensionn, lsaacsonis '6Advanced Research in Radioactivity , and Bafarro's 'LAdventuring among the Poets of the Twentieth Century . Then the 8:20 bell rang and Henry, heaving a sigh of resignation to fate, hauled himself out of his leather-covered armchair and set out for his first hour class. The next forty minutes remain nearly blank as far as Henry is concerned, for he foundlthat it was really too much for a sleepy 8:30 brain to try to comprehend American History, especially that befuddled period of about 100 years ago. 'Not being completely unconscious, however, he absorbed some of the wisdom expounded by such brilliant fellow students as Henry Shapiro Il and John Walsh ll. Second hour involved some physical endeavor for he took it upon himself, in the true spirit of friendly cooperation, to hold the bunsen burner for his chemistry partner, Ernest Fernsten ll, while Donald Mayo II performed the experiment. The next two periods furnished Henry with real enjoyment for they were spent in the large out-door swimming pool or playing baseball or tennis. Much as Henry enjoyed these last two periods he always felt that the best was yet to come, for fourth hour was followed by recess. He took the elevator to the top floor where the cafeteria was situated, heaped his plastic tray with good things to eat Ltoday's specialty was candy Hown in from China that morningj and strolled up to the roof-top terrace where he sat down at one of the shaded tables to enjoy himself. Before recess was over it was required that each pupil swallow a number of vitamin pills tlike the food they were free because of an increased tax-ratej and this Henry did with gusto - they were chocolate coated. Henry always found his fifth hour class particularly inspiring for in it a study was made of great poetry and it was during this period that he was privileged to listen to the remarkable poetic efforts of his fellow students, like James Horgan, the second, and Bob Heon, the second. His sixth hour class concerned itself, but not Henry, with the complexities of the lately discovered fourth dimension which was brilliantly discussed by Nicholas Argento, the second. Seventh hour study being a study period land Henry deciding he had nothing to studyl he relaxed in the soft arm-chairs of the assembly hall where educational television films were continually shown for the benefit of study pupils. When the one o'clock bell rang, he summoned all his remaining energy, and with Spartan fortitude pushed the elevator button, stepped into his helicopter, and fiew away to spend the afternoon visiting a friend in New York. Sometimes he wondered how he stood the strain of it all! 86 9 ADVERTISEMENTS . X 5, - 'fu ' l ' ,W Pig: V K f?
