For four years, we, of the class of '50, have been doing ground work. Since nineteen forty-six each one of us has crewed five days a week to assimilate the necessary knowledge for this venture. By passing specialized tests we have proved our capabilities. With the arrival of June 16th, 1950, we are now ready to test our wings. The droning motors partially drown out last minute instructions from the pilot before he hands us our signed tickets. The warning, Fasten your safety-belts of perseverence, is barely audible above the din of our well- wishers. Belts fastened, we ascend into higher atmospheres of learning. Looking down from above, we can observe a panorama of the past much more clearly. Fervently, each one of us resolves to strive for the highest possible goal. The control tower vanishes from sight. With its disappearance comes the realization that we have graduated from ground work and are now full fledged passengers ascending to make the flight of life. The chief steward has distributed notebooks with further instructions for this flight. The following excerpts are taken from our air manuals.

BRUCE Friends, Teachers, Parents, and Classmates: I am glad to welcome you this evening to the last gathering of the Class of 1950. It is only fitting that you, our friends, teachers, and parents, should join with us in these Class Day exercises. It was in large measure because of our friends' presence here that we came gladly to Classical, for from them we had learned the glorious traditions of this school. With the guidance of the teachers we found here, and, to some degree upon their insistence, we have arrived at this happy conclusion. We hope we did not draw too much upon their patience, although at times we must have taxed it closely. With you, our parents, we share our success. We appreciate the encouragement you have given us to make it possible, and we thank you for the love and devotion which have guided and protected us always. Tonight you will hear some of the incidents that have made our high school careers memorable. They perhaps will prove to you, did you not already know it, that we have been enjoying ourselves while preparing the way for future study or work. My classmates, I hope these recollections will remind you of others, and that years from now you will look back upon them and remember with pleasure the time we spent together. As our paths take different directions, may they cross frequently and provide other occasions for happy remin- iscence. Once more I cordially welcome you all to the last class meeting of the Class of 1950. Haw Wwtamq by BETTY NORE The plane hit the ground with a thump, taxied across the field, rolled to a smooth stop, and settled down to rest, as if utterly weary after its long flight. The doors opened and the passengers climbed out from the belly of the great bird. Some strode triumphantly across the field, with an air of extreme nonchalance and confidence, some swaggered, some stumbled, some felt their way along, unaccustomed to the stationary earth, but all looked completely satisfied and none the worse for the rough spots they had encountered during the course of their trip. Theirs had been a long journey. It had begun in the early part of September, 1946, when one hundred and ninety-five of them had come down from the hills of Tatnuck and Providence Street, from the valleys of New- ton Square and Main South to meet at Classical Airport. They were an odd- looking assortment that day, as they huddled together, seeking protection against the more experienced passengers, who, waiting for their own planes to come in, looked at them in scorn and disdain. The girls stood awkwardly, afraid of smudging the almost invisible lipstick which they wore for the first time. Their arms dangled 'disjointedly at their sides, weighed down by the burden of numerous charm, bangle, and identification bracelets. Any girl who could move her arms without sounding like a sym- phony being played on washtubs was completely avoided by her more fashionable fellow-travelers. The boys were pitifully conscious of their carefully brushed crew-cuts, which all the soakings in the World could not restrain from sticking out about their heads, giving them an amazing re- semblance to startled porcupines. They all carried their possessions in green duflie bags, slung over their shoulders, and they cowered at the sight of the airport officials who passed among them, distributing pamph- lets on how to conduct oneself on one's first flight. Once aboard the plane, after the usual confusion, in which they had wandered throughout the airport looking for a non-existent gymnasium in which they might get into condition for their trip, the introductions were performed by the stewardess. They learned that the girl with the long brown pig-tails was Mary Nagle, that the boy bouncing a basketball in the middle of the aisle was Zip Budish, and that the two boys sitting by the Window, discussing the merits of fraternities and sororities were Les Medlinsky and Richard Simonian. By this time they had become accustomed to the roar of the motors, and, filled with a growing curiosity, they had begun to explore the interior of the plane and its personnel. The co-pilot's compartment became a source of continual wonder and fascina- tion to such passengers as Jerry Franklin, but only a few brave souls ventured into the pilot's sanctum. Meanwhile, some of the girls, particularly Genie Moschos and Nancy O'Connor, found one crew member, Mr. Daly, a great help throughout the rougher portions of the flight, which they encountered during the tenth week in the air. With the passing of the storm, the crew felt that certain passengers deserved commendation for their ability to survive their past ordeal so admirably, and so honors were bestowed upon Betty-Lou Keenan, Arthur Murphy, Barbara Rugg, George Lazarus, Ruth Sisson, Lois Vifhidden, and Harvey Williams. Having com- pleted the first portion of their itinerary, they landed at the nearest airport for a brief respite. But eager to proceed with their journey, and already familiar with the steady, monotonous drone of the engines, two months later they clam- bered aboard the plane and settled down for the coming flight. There had been some changes made during their short sojourn. Jackie Adams had acquired the nickname of Tweedle, Audrey McTighe and Anne Johnson had acquired a few new admirers, and Pat Howe had acquired Arthur Murphy. The passengers had also acquired a few celebrities. During this second phase of their adventure they had organized various activities and stars suddenly shone, not only in the celestial realms surrounding them, but right in their own midst. Peggy Nugent and Ruth Sisson became masters at wielding a puck and stick, and Phil Breen, who was slightly hemmed in by the limited extent of the plane, proved his agility by run- ning up and down the aisles and jumping over seats when necessary, much to the distress of David Karlofsky, who was rehearsing on an imaginary keyboard. The crew agreed to fly a banner behind the plane the day that Ann Bockoven, Nan 0'Connor, Judy Marble, Judy Campbell, and Joan Kelleher helped to win the inter-plane basketball championship, and again, the day that Claire Aisenberg's recording of Frankie Laine singing That's My Desire just gave up and collapsed from overuse. Barbara Rugg was initiated into a select group of thespians aboard the plane and J ony Free- man, who can easily be distinguished from Judy by the minute birthmark on the tip of her index finger, became treasurer of the Camera Club. Once more, the great winged bird alighted and after a refueling and overhauling started off for the third time. They had not been aloft for long when Norma Glazer and Lois Whidden displayed their literary' talents by joining the staff of the Argus, the plane's magazine. Their articles did everything from soothing acute air-sickness to furnishing paper, from which such craftsmen as Saul Feingold and Dickie Polonsky could mould their own model airplanes. Further honors were bestowed on two of the passengers, Nancy Charron and Christine O'Connell, when they were gamedl vice-president and secretary, respectively, of the Passengers' ounci . They were an organized group of passengers this time. Fearing that their requests and desires would be overlooked by the crew, they formed a union. Richard Hardy was elected president, Pat Cronin, vice-president, Ginny Whidden, secretary, and Tommy Kee, treasurer. Their first authoritative act was to approve a suggestion made by the socially-minded passengers to land for one evening in the nearest town and stretch their travel-weary limbs at a dance. Barbara Rugg, Les Medlinsky, Anne Johnson, Billy Zellen, Dick Salmonsen, Maureen Kelly, and Arthur Murphy made the arrangements. The evening was a great success and, yawning contentedly, they proceeded on their journey, with mementoes from the prom, such as Sheila Fellman's orchid, strewn throughout the plane. New talent had been discovered among the voyagers by this time. Eric Van Leeuwen and Barbara Abrams won first and third prizes in an airline essay contest and Dick Salmonsen created a mild sensation by his theat- rical debut as a one-legged pirate in the operetta Peggy and the Pirates. Once more the plane made its usual brief stop and the passengers set off for their last spree before the final flight. Sid Goldfader spent his time manning a gas pump and Jimmy Devaney cooled off in an ice house while others worked as camp counsilors or lolled at neighboring beaches. Tanned and healthy, they returned once more to the airport. This time there was a slight delay in the takeoff, waiting for a few of the ticket holders, such as Maureen Kelly, Bernice Gorman, and Flo Philbin, to finish their canasta game, and for Red Kane to distribute his blotters and other paraphernalia. When, finally, they did step across the ramp, it was with an air of determination and pride at having ventured this far. There were a few additions-Marcia Burrow's collection of plaid skirts and Macky J acobson's bigger and better harp-and a few subtractions-the removal of Alan Epstein's moustache and the departure of a few discouraged mem- bers from the fan club of Mr. Butler, one of the crew members. Norman Bruce was the new president of the Passengers' Union, with Margie Kav as vice-president, Pat Cronin as secretary, and Billy Zellen as a diligent treasurer, whose subtle little reminders to neglectful debtors were in- scribed on every flight chart. Norma Glazer was appointed editor of the Argus, and in her new cabinet she included Lois Whidden, Barbara Rugg, Lester Medlinsky, and Norman Bruce, whose immortal articles became widely known in planes throughout the country. Whatever talent had been discovered in the previous lapses of the journey seemed dim and remote in the light of fame now shed upon the passengers by Sid Goldfader. Sid had become master of every sport imaginable, both indoor and outdoor. He was the only boy who could kick a football, hit a baseball, and make a basket in basketball all at the same time. A special committee of passengers had to be appointed to beat off the reporters, rival coaches, and feminine admirers who persisted in hanging onto the wings of the plane for a glimpse of their hero. Not that they be- grudged Sid his well-deserved fame, but it did make the plane awfully lop-sided. The Passengers' Council held new elections and the new slate con- sisted of Tommy Kee, president, Maureen Kelly, vice-president, and Cecile Goyette, secretary. Still basking in the light of the fame they had achieved through their operatic attempts the previous year, the musically talented travelers put their heads together with one of the crew members and came up with an- other terrific smash fthe operetta, that ish. Pat Howe, Arthur Bernier, Bruce Cole, Jimmy Devaney, and Georgianna Charron were all outstand- ing. But Barbara Rugg, as Aunt Julia, leading a line of graceful, daintily clad ballerinas, alias Billy Zellen, Dick Salmonsen, Phil Breen and Dick Rebidue, in typical ballet steps, was enough to send the plane into a corn- plete and utter tailspin. Having exhausted their supply of musical talent, the passengers sud- denly developed an intense interest in the various nationally-known land- marks, over which they flew. With the help of certain crew members, they became familiar with Sturbridge, Massachusetts, The Worcester Biolog- ical Foundation, and, as a highlight, the Purification Works. It was after the latter excursion that they almost lost Marilyn Robbins and Genie Moschos. Even the plane, itself, seemed to have become aware of the fact that the flight was nearing its end. It rocked flimsily in the air from the re- verberation of the eager voices of committee members who were planning a dance and other programs to climax the voyage. Barbara Rugg, Maxine Jacobson, Lester Medlinsky, and Arthur Murphy were chosen for their excellent flight record to address the gathering that would be awaiting their landing at the airport. Then suddenly, Fasten your safety belts. Retrieve your erasers and Latin trots, came the voice of the stewardess. The plane swerved, banked, descended, and came in for its final stop. The passengers alighted waved a last goodbye to the crew members, and then stood awkwardly by, first filled only with joy at the realization that they had arrived safely and then turning to look wistfully and a little regretfully after the departing plane. Little did they realize how smooth that ride had been compared to the supersonic, jet-propelled flight that awaited them. But they had no time to waste, thinking of the past, for just then a voice was heard com- ing from the loudspeaker, a voice that said, All aboard, Class of 1950, all aboard for the flight into the future. 4-.1-1 Xgpth WUH J, r -45 i NON SIB! SED G2 439 Ga 5 fill 2 as L, g of Q OMNIBUQ . ff if Q2 l Q L5 as - 70666 By DAVID DOLAN Since, in the course of human events, We must now untie the bonds which have bound us throughout our high school days, being fully pos- sessed of sound mind, memory, and understanding, I, as testator of the class of 1950, do declare and publish this, our last will and testament. To the freshman, we leave the hope of a new and modern building. To the sophomores, the freshman girls and the junior boys. To the juniors, the fourth year English courses of Miss Shaughnessy and Miss Fitzpatrick-the best preparation for college available anywhere. To Mr. Butler, our most sincere wishes for success and happiness in his newest and most important undertaking. To Mr. Powers, an audience that will shout with laughter at his unique jokes. To Miss Healey, our hearty thanks for her labor in making the Classic Myths a successful undertaking. To Mr. Rice, a large size economy box of Rye-Krisps for his recess bracer . To Mr. McKinley, a whistle and white gloves, so that he may better patrol his first floor corridor beat. To Mr. Reardon, the plea for more and more posters advertising senior events. To Mr. Erickson, a coon skin cap for perpetual wear. To Mr. Couming, an automatic victrola which plays on one's crossing the threshhold, Today or tomorrow ?-Today or tomorrow ? I have been further requested by certain persons, all of somewhat sound mind and for no good reason at all, to dispose of the following gifts: To the Debating Club, a new member with the assurance and fluency of Lester Medlinsky. To many deserving freshmen, a few inches of Janice Cusick's height. To Miss Walsh's Spanish students, one hour of sixty minutes' homework each night. To some aspiring pianist, Dave Karlofsky's keyboard ability--enough to satisfy Mr. Kaplan's need for a few years. To the most deserving junior, Barbara Rugg's enchanting personality. To some freshman worthy enough to handle the task, the many oilices that Dick Hardy has so aptly filled. To future songbirds, Audrey McTighe's ability to bring cheers and whistles from drowsy assembly hall audiences. To anyone who can stand fifth hour after eating them, Nan O'Connor's onion sandwiches. To anyone interested, Phedon Kontulis' autographed copy of his book, How to Win Friends and Influence Women. To some freshman girl, Nancy Charron bequeaths the great variety of male escorts which she has had during her four years of high school. To the junior gridders, Jack Hayes, Slim Boyle, Vin Defalco, and Tom Sedares leave a most successful season. To the junior girl who thinks that she has enough poise, good looks and intelligence to fill them, Arleen Hanrahan donates her shoes. To some lucky sophomore, Norma Glazer leaves her intelligence, her mid- winter tan, and last but not least, her car. After four years of service, Ann Bockoven reluctantly hands over her gym suit and goalie pads. Chris O'Connell leaves with a ticket for the South, where she may learn to slow down when talking. Donny Benson leaves-period. Upon all future athletes, Sid Goldfader bestows the inspiration to succeed in athletics as he has done. To Mr. Fenner, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the fatherly way in which he has, during the past four years, made many of our rough paths smooth. To the faculty, our deepest appreciation of their patient effort and guid- ance throughout our high-school days. For Classical, We keep a special place in our hearts to be cherished through- out the trials of life. To this last will and testament of the Class of 1950, I set my hand and seal on this twelfth day of June, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty. DAVID R. DOLAN, Testator Witnesses: I. M. Crayzee U. R. Two 6 . By ARTHUR D. MURPHY Fifty years ago, with joyful celebrations and bright hopes for the future, the twentieth century was ushered in-the century which people throughout the world hoped would be characterized by freedom from strife, by advances in science, and by cultural improvement. The nine- teenth century had been torn by disastrous combat, deliberately planned by overly-ambitious war lords, and paid for with the blood of the youth of each nation. Realizing at last that the spoils of war cannot compensate for the lives of those killed in battle, nations seemed ready to concentrate on increasing the dignity, the security, and the happiness of the individual. Though the desire for peace which prevailed in 1900 was admirable, such a desire was futile without a firm foundation, and so an earnest attempt to build that foundation was made by world-famous statesmen and scientists. To this end, important reforms came into being in our own country. One of the first was woman suffrage, a second was a series of labor laws ending the sweat shop conditions and curbing child-labor, the third was Prohibition, the outcome of highly exaggerated stories of broken homes, of unhappy children, and of ruined lives. Though many such reforms seemed to improve the status of the common man, for every domestic advance here, an ominous imperialistic threat appeared abroad. Because of a desire on the part of some nations to rule mankind, and the desire of other nations that all mankind rule itself, the inevitable clash ensued. Storm warnings rumbled unheeded for several years, until the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in the ,far- distant Balkans gave to certain imperialistic governments the immediate opportunity to start a war, which was destined, before the final shot, to involve forty million people-ten million dead and thirty million wounded -and to retard most progressive movements for years. The victory in 1919 was an empty one for the conquerors. In our own country, the combination of easy money made in the war-time boom, and a mixed feeling of joy and relief, the reaction after the strain of the war years, precipitated an era which left scars on the ethics, the morals, and the religious convictions of many. ' Prohibition, which previously had seemed a panacea of' most domestic ills, proved to be a dismal failure. Our national economy, which had suc- cessfully endured the burden of war, broke down under the mad spend- ing spree of the 1920's. As a result, the United States suffered a depression in which, overnight, life's savings were lost, businesses failed, and unem- ployment engulfed thirteen million people. Faced with a new problem, not that of saving democracy for the world, but of saving democracy for ourselves, our country instituted many New Deal measures, in the long run not entirely satisfactory, but, at least, temporarily effective. While we were thus coping with our serious domestic problems, again the imperialistic nations let loose the dogs of war, and, again, within twenty-five years, we found ourselves involved in a second World War, which threatened the welfare of the human race. During these years, however, the scientist had not been idle, but had continued to work quietly and eiiiciently in his laboratory. He had de- veloped the automobile and the airplane for man's comfort and con- veniences he had compounded powerful drugs, which gave renewed hope to millions of the crippled and the bed-ridden , he had smashed the atom, primarily to find a source of fuel and energy for domestic and industrial purposes. Yet in science, as in politics, much perversion of knowledge occurred: the automobile turned into a tank for the destruction of life and of prosperity, the airplane became a carrier of bombs, rather than of passengers, the atom was used for the destruction of man, instead of for his comfort. Many of the scientific developments, in fact, seemed to tend not to the perpetuation of the human race, but to its annihilation. Certain inventions, on the other hand, did contribute appreciably to the cultural development of our country and to a more enlightened use of our leisure time, for through the radio, the movies, and television, great singers and musicians, famous actors and actresses, great plays, and great symphonies were put within the reach of rich and poor alike. As we now stand on the threshhold of the second half of the twen- tieth century, and consider in retrospect our hopes and our accomplish- ments of the last fifty years, we cannot help wondering what tasks our generation will be called on to face. Whether they will be of greater or of less import than those faced by our fathers, we do not know, that We cannot possibly escape these responsibilities we do know, and so we must be prepared to face them with faith and with courage, as we play our part in the world. We must be ready to serve the cause of humanity, to bring peace and security to mankind, and to be a source of encouragement to all the nations of the world. Politics must be made a thing in which honest man can freely participate, industry must be humanized, social justice must be extended to all. In the words of Woodrow Wilson, We have got to set the energy and initiative of this great people absolutely free, so that the future of America will be greater than the past, . . . so that America will know, as she ad- vances from generation to generation, that each brood of her sons is greater and more enlightened than that which preceded it, know that she is fulfilling the promise that she made . . . to serve the cause of hu- manity, to bring liberty to mankind.

Since then, cancellations because of field transfers or schedule delays have been filled each year by newly arrived flight applicants. Not one of these additional crew members needed much landing gear to fall in easily with such friendly co-workers. The full passenger list now numbers 185. The graduating crew of 1950 is not only made up of a diversified group of passengers, but it also is one which boasts of exceptional' talents among these ticket holders. The flight advisor found aspirants for teach- ing, nursing, and writing as well as flying when he interviewed the various flight applicants in 1946. Proficient musicians, dancers, actors and football stars have displayed their talents during the past four years. No one was nervous before the take off, because everyone has been too well trained in fundamentals during the period of ground work. Each of the passengers has a different destination. One has a passport to Israel and Haifa Tech while another holds a ticket to U.C.L.A. Here on the New England coast, we have reservations for Harvard and Yale. The southern run holds seats for Trinity and Mary Washington Colleges. Before long, these passengers will reach their goals and join thousands of alumni who have attained success.

WHQKER N X Around the hangars our leisure time was spent in shop talk varying from motor troubles on the ground to weather conditions in the air. While standing by we have participated in any number of clubs covering every possible Held. The C.H.S.D.A. has provided an opportunity for future orators who argued for and against compulsory military training or the abuse of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Traffic and taxi patterns have been studied by the clear thinking Chess Club as each member approached a checkered runway with kings, queens, and pawns. The Stamp Club has welcomed all incoming planes bringing foreign stamps from distant fields, and by hearing selections played by great composers, the Aletheia Club has studied essential inter-com informa- tion. In this way the members have been trained to recognize beats, pat- terns, and signals which they will hear during future iiights. Air traffic clearance has provided a stage for the Green Room Club productions every year. The Camera Club photographed these productions from the wings of stage settings developed by the more artistic members in the crew of 1950. When excavations were started for new hangars, it was the members of the Agassiz Club who explained the plant and animal life around us. The Modern Science Club forecast weather conditions for future flights. These have been printed by the Argus Board and have been approved by members of the Student Council who constituted the law making body of the crew. The History Club has completed the bill by compiling statistics and lending former flight plans to would-be navigators. One glance shows us what wonderful passengers we have crewed with in grease jobs, thick and thin, While standing by.

HERMAN STEKLER Faculty Adviser MR. JOHN D. MCKINLEY V W ff '92 U gf 00 S As we have sailed through seas of blue, the humming motors remind everyone of the music produced during the past four years by the Mixed Chorus and Boys and Girls Glee Clubs. Each Christmas, the strains of carols have floated skyward with the ascending birds of steel. Between seasons there have been songs sung from every kind of music portfolio. Classical's first operetta, Peggy and the Pirate was produced last year under the direction of Mr. David Kaplan. The roar of applause was so great that the actors took several curtain calls before the applause started to diminish. This year's cast presented Rio Rico keeping the beacons busy blinking announcements of another great hit. Once a Week the motors have hummed with Glee Club activities. Through every hangar have come the sound of euphonic music taken up by resounding applause. The band has welcomed each and every famous visitor to our field with all the pomp due such celebrities. Accompanied by our orchestra, selected outstanding soloists have entertained these guests. Now comfortably settled in cushioned seats, the passengers fondly recall the notes and beats of Pomp and Circumstance followed by the words O, Alma Mater, ever dear to all thy sons and daughters. The music rings in their ears as droning motors bring new vistas into range.

HENRY ZIEPER FLORENCE PHILBIN MAUREEN KELLY . ALINE BERCUME MR. BASILIO CASTALDI Iynovlefn CM Q o ' 1 ff ,X 5W Propelled by school spirit, our football, basketball, and baseball teams have landed victories in fall, winter, and spring. We have suffered a few defeats, but what crew does not have at least one crash landing? Undaunted by minor mishaps, the cheerleaders revived the spirits of any less enthusiastic crew member. In their snappy blue and white uni- forms, these cheerleaders have been responsible for many a rallying at- tack on the football field or basketball court. The football authorities of Worcester have not been slow in recogniz- ing our high flying stars. The captain of the 1949 team was named the most outstanding high school player in Worcester and was made honorary captain of the city's All Star team. With the coming of basketball seasons, people thought that they were being buzzed as the ball sailed through the air, time and again, on its Way to the basket. The girls' sophomore team upheld their wings in 1947 and played for the city championship basketball team losing by a narrow margin. The first plane of Orville and Wilbur Wright could hardly have com- peted with our track team in dashes or flying miles. The girls' hockey team always kept opposing goalies busy trying to keep sure shots from becoming goals. Despite our crash landings, the fighter pilots on the track, football, and baseball teams have come up with renewed energy and perseverance to contend with each new opponent who landed from another field. sfo, W,, ,.,,.. , . , , , -1 Q 33 I n 3, '1 O -r D' S. :U JU 0 O W 2 5 o '- Sui: ET-3. 5 U:-+ -1 Q0 F 4'48' g D-Q1 4mUE'g- 26-02.-v-3 Ojsiogun gfblbfxmy, S- n.L.-'J Iaoma. 73233-at-6 5'U'm 3-5 31-'3mL'!Q a 9l3.? -DN:-2'm'2. 23- om I-,' yi: com-NP ffcg' O'gQDg-n 5- fb O3- 633379 'u8 'Q'31 313717152 -2m9-U'-Qui ' 705-Fm? gp mm Sa, m. ., -.:: ,Moa :-0935 E' Q- 2890-55' 3' Dag 53253:-0 f'f3'U'0-Tu' rw-Dom :-es? fb ci.-' Q. w?'kf'?g P 5-og Qfjs Z! 3124 n m-. 5' U13 a can a. 3:3 , 'P Z n. 2 2 Q o 2- 3 I 2 Q a n 5 3 9 Ei' Ei Q fx Q C3 552 a-33' 25' 33 .EV 4 35.
