Salmonsen Mr. Fenner, Parents, Teachers, and Friends: The Class of l955 is pleased to have you with us today, and on behalf of its members l welcome you to our Class Day exercises. Four short years ago our class came here to start a new chapter in our young lives. Today we have reached the position for which we have long been striving. lt seems eminently fitting that we should have with us today those who have made possible our high school education. To our parents, - who have made untold sacrifices that we might have a more complete education, - we owe a debt of gratitude which mere words cannot pay in any measure. To our teachers we owe a heavy debt for many hours of drudgery and self-sacrifice. lt is they who have helped and instructed us through high school, using all their years of experience to prepare us for life's rugged path. To our friends also, whose words of encouragement have brightened many seemingly dark days, we owe much. To all then, - parents, teachers, friends, --I extend in behalf of the Class of l'-755 a most heartfelt greeting. IHInsiroRv cmss or Tess By Judith L. Klein The Sprit of Classical High School removed the stylus and tablet from his shelf, wrapped his toga tightly about him, descended the winding, creaking stairs from the tower, and opened the doors wide. As I entered, he approached me saying, To you I present these writing implements. Record here the events of the class of '55. In the I IOth year of Classical High School, we came, we saw, and we felt com- pletely conquered. Had we studied Milton, we should have wailed, Hence, loathed Melancholy, but having studied Milton Berle only the night before, we cried in des- peration, I could give myself a shot in 'da head! The thousands of eyes peering at us in the assembly hall .... our first cafeteria luncheon .... the mistake of asking a senior for directions .... and our first day had passed. Eyeing an enormous pile of books, we wondered whether WE wouldl' We were a curious class - - always wondering why the third floor smelled so bad. We were a class that did things together: - every girl wore a pair of white bucks. We were a class with the same motto - - That's George, and MeIvyn!' In February, when we were no longer the lowest form ofanimal life, we proceed- ed to welcome the new class in the same manner as we had been initiated. Had we realized that graduation speakers, .loan Lang and Patti McSheehy, were among the arrivals, we should have been more kind. It was a lucky day when one of Mr. Weed's pet reptiles entered Miss Kennedy's room and crawled up Linda LichtenfeI's leg. To this we attribute Linda's basketball prowess, though they say she has never lumped quite so high since then. A new club, the Miserable Misers, was formed, and for initiation, Geri Mellquist wanted Mr. Daly to stand on his head so that she could collect the money that fell from his pockets. For once she found Mr. Daly uncooperative. Another group of Freshman girls who liked to sing left their fifth hour classes to ioin the Glee Club and wondered why Mr. Kaplan did not welcome them. Some sorority pledgees who were made to wear two different kinds of shoes to school were asked to go home to change them - - all except Roberta Norman who had sat through the whole day on one foot. Our freshman year - when no one knew who Gene Taillon was .... when Irma Levine represented us at the Senior Prom ..... when Blanche Talman sang in our first Variety Show ..... when no one had ever heard of Bermuda shorts ..... when both tennis teams were city-wide champions ..... then, before we knew it, we were Sophomores. I like Ike hearalded our second high school term. We followed the country's example and formed a government of our own with Stewart Economou as president, Ginny Good, secretary, and Glen Salmenson, treasurer. We also became active in the Student Council. Merna Medlinsky, Dick Cipro, Phyllis Marsolais, and Franny Gilligan were some of the representatives. Our names and faces became well-known in school clubs when Jean Butler was elected madame president of the orchestra, Sue Boyle was a librarian for Mixed Chorus, and Arthur Olsen and Evelyn Farber were new Argus Board members. The only place in which our names were not familiar was Mr. Cre- vedi's room. In one geometry class we had such notables as Suzan Sandbox, Hi Ho Silver, Teddy Lamp-post, and Ethel Gasoline. The public school committee, after making a study of the essentials of a high school, gave us a brand new telephone booth instead of a new school building. One might even add that we were the luckiest sophomore class in history, for besides this gift of a modern booth, we were privileged to be the last sophomore class to look down upon incoming freshmen. The year when Jay Manasas and Ray Hammerstrom were called potential good athletes , the year when we lost Susy Ivok to Florida for a while, and the year when we spent many weary hours measuring Classical with a six-inch ruler, flew by, and at last we were upperclassmenl' Classmates off to a good start were Horace Mann students Elaine Adelson, Paul Boncyzk, Stewart Economou, David Jaffee, Naomi Meltzer, Danute Paiauiis, and Joyce Wilk. The rest of us, thoroughly frightened by Jerry King's enormous sneezes, suffered from long periods of shock and failed to make the honor roll. We elected Glen Salmonsen, president, Nancy Norwood, secretary, Mel Green- berg, treasurer, and we began to plan a prom. We shall always remember the lovely array of pastel shades, the ten-thirty burst of balloons, and the boy who sat on a wad of gum on the night of our Junior Prom. Planners Jay Herlihy, Evelyn Farber, Al Rob- bins, Debby Johnson, Marty Cohen, and Pat Snay did a wonderful iob. It was a sad day for all of us when Mr. Daly left, especially for the Argus Board members who wondered where the next gassip column would come from. Mr. Daly's homeroom had a special treat when his wife and children appeared for the farewell party. Our Girls' Basketball Team won the city championship, and the cry was, Let's recruit girls for next year's teams! The teachers won the Varsity-Faculty game. All our Varsity players wanted to pass that year. Mel Greenberg brought us fame by winning the city-wide oratory contest. Our representative in Europe was Monique Eisenberg, who studied for a year in Geneva, Switzerland. The Aletheia Book Prize went to Judy Gage, and the Harvard Club Prize was won by Arthur Olsen. The senior class's singing the Alma Mater brought our third year to a close, and, before we knew it we were Seniors too. We again elected officers: Glen Salmon- sen, Nancy Norwood, Judy Rutherford, and Dave Remington. Senior activities flashed by to be reflected only in happy memories. Joan's Lang's scream on being P526 when only the first twenty-five were to have driving lessons .... Sandy Sherman's Senior party ..... the appointing of Senior committees ..... College Aptitudes ..... Be- ware the ldes of February and Dave Remington ..... the Variety Show with its fabu- lous chorus led by Nancy Norwood and dancing led by Ronda Kramer ..... the Senior Hop where two boys appeared in Bermuda shorts ..... more parties ..... our suc- cessful basketball team taking second place in the city league ..... College Achieve- ments along with Who wants to go to college anyway? ..... the pin-up calendar . . . . .the play, the prom, Class Day . . . . . and finally graduation. I ascended the winding, creaking stairs of the old tower and entered the Spirit's chamber. He was seated ata desk stroking his long, white beard thoughtfully, and a few minutes passed before he looked up and saw me. Ah, he smiled, you have come to return the tablet and stylus. Come, l shall show you where l keep all the class histories. He pulled a rusty key from his top drawer, and I followed him into a long empty corridor at the end of which was a door. He turned the key and the door swung open. Before me was a dark, dusty room con- taining one hundred and ten dusty tablets. Proudly, l placed my tablet at the end of the shelf and returned to the corridor, only to find that the Spirit had mysteriously dis- appeared! l searched every room in vain, and then I saw the note. lt was tacked on the door leading to the room where l had placed my tablet, and it read, Farewell, Class of '55. May the spirit of Classical High School be with you all the days of your lives. Will cimtss or less by Gene P. Taillon When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one group to dis- solve the bonds which have, for four long years, united them to another, it is only iust and fitting that they leave their most worthy and most prized possessions to their successors. We trust our reasons to be self-evident: - We leave Miss Fitzpatrick to listen to illiterate Seniors trying to memorize, Glamis, thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised .... And to Macbeth, we leave what he was promised - - he worked so hard to get it. To Miss Shaughnessy, we leave an Argus Board to beat all Argus Boards: Words- worth, Shelley, Keats, Shakespeare, Swift,and Mickey Spillane. To Mr. Rice, we leave one pound of axle grease to lubricate his find something to do finger. To Mr. Powers, we leave ONE sheet of paper. To Mr. McKinley, we leave a tape recorder which he can install in the first floor cor- rider. lt will continuously play from 8:10 to l:'l5, Keep moving .... Keep moving . . . . Keep Moving . . . To Mr. Couming, we leave a brass plaque inscribed with the familiar question, To- day or tomorrow? To the Juniors, we leave our Senior seniority, with the hope that it does not go to their heads. To Richie Seder, Joan Lang leaves her title of Poet-laureate of Classical. Irma Levine leaves Miss Kennedy a well-earned rest. Pepper Howell leaves his golf clubs to Ben Hogan. Stu Economou leaves several copies of his own book, How to Become Business Manager and Obtain Ads . Frannie Gilligan leaves his horse laugh to some deserving horse. Marty Cohen leaves to the girls of Brandeis, Marty Cohen. To the Class of l956, we leave all our battered books, our unpaid bills, and all the headaches we have had this year. Nice of us? Ronda Kramer leaves one pair of sorely beaten dancing shoes to Meryle Whitman. Judy Rutherford and Sue Boyle each leave eight inches of hair to the Fuller Regalia and Costume Company. Audrey Aslanian leaves her title of The Lass with the Delicate Air to Sue Delphos. Bob Bartlett leaves his Sahara humor to the ianitors, so that they may put it on the icy walks next December. Patti McSheehy leaves her smooth-running blush apparatus to the Worcester Found- ation for Biological Research. To Beverly Martin, Rita Rahaim leaves a formula for growing overnight. To some Junior destined to have Room One as his homeroom next year, Toby Kramer leaves a long list of Vississitoots . Gail Smith leaves her dietetic lunches to the ladies of the Cafeteria, Incorporated. Dennis Hennessey leaves his 'igloo to the Eskimos. Evelyn Farber leaves a complimentary copy of her new dictionary to Noah Webster. Dave Remington leaves Mr. Fenner a promise: that as soon as he makes his first million, he will build a new Classical HighSchool - -in Boylston. Debby Johnson and Alan Robbins leave together, destination: Hollywood. Jay Herlihy leaves the handkerchief that has ben sticking out of his rear pocket for four long years to the cleaners. To the Library, we leave a deep, pile rug, to stifle the shuffling of delinquent feet. To the Juniors, we leave a smile and a prayer. The smile is for what they think they are, and the prayer is for what they really are. Finally, the class leaves the school with sincere regret but with high anticipations for the future. lt leaves Mr. Fenner, Mr. Couming, and the faculty its heartfelt thanks, and to those who are left to step into our footsteps, its best wishes. Its loyalty to the school, however, it carries with it. Having bequeathed all our treasures, we leave Classical High School our most che- rished possession, our sincere good will. Hereunto I set my hand and my seal on this thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five and of the graduating classes of Classical High School, the one hundred and tenth. Gene Paul Taillon Testator Witnesses: Liberace and George QIRATTIIQN GLASS or II955 Today, we meet as a class for the last time, and gathered with us, are our loved ones, our teachers, and our friends, proud of our achievements, anxious about our fu- ture. Simple it would be if we could but gaze into a crystal ball and see the years ahead, the ioys and sorrows of tomorrow, the achievements and failures we must face, yes, my friends, it would be easy. But man is endowed with a God-given vision, The pillar of cloud by day and fire by night that can make of life, in spite of all its difficulties, a glorious and triumphant adventure. Ouroutlook is the staff upon which we may lean to see us through this adventure. The word outlook as defined by the dictionary reads, The view or prospect from a place, the mental view, one's outlook upon life. Today, our mental view, our outlook upon life, has been warped and twisted from a source of strength upon which we may depend, into a great uncertainty. We, the younger generation, are faced with the problem of greed and lust for material gain. It is this ever-increasing appetite for the material things of life, the good things of life, cars, homes, fine clo- thes, and all that money can buy, that has warped our outlook and has driven us we know not where. Even now in this hour of peace we are being driven by this power of our own making, which kills our fellowman and eventually ourselves while still in the prime of life. We work and slave our lives away for the mighty dollar, and no sooner do we have enough than we crave for more. There is no end to our longing for the finer things of life, but we expend and waste our most precious God-given gift, that of life itself, looking for something, something a million dollars cannot ever buy, peace of mind. How many times have I heard somebody say, I wish that I had peace of mind. I have no security. Was it not Shakespeare who once said, Security is mor- tal's chiefest enemy ? This then is the by-product of the modern struggle for the ma- terial things of life. Leon Tolstoy, the Russian novelist, has among his many interesting legends one entitled, How Much Land Does a Man Need? which I should like to relate to you be- cause of its pertinence to this theme. Pakholm was a Russian peasant who was not rich but who had enough. He was satisfied. One day rumors reached him of rich fertile lands down along the Volga, free for the asking, and he became dissatisfied. He sold his house and his land and with the money he received he went to the Volga region and settled there. He tilled his land and he prospered. He thought he knew now how much land a man needs. But once again, glorious tales reached him of land in the territory of the wandering Bashkirs, beautiful, black soil, thousands of acres of which could be had for a song. Pakholm was fascinated by the prospect. So, he gathered up his belongings and tra- velled to the land of the Bashkirs, He was well-received there and was told that he could have all the land he wanted. All the land a man could go around in one day was his for one thousand rubles. The only stipulation was that if he failed to return within the day and to the place from which he started, his money was forfeited. The man was delighted. He knew that with his strong, sturdy legs he could cover a large area of land in one day, in fact, all the land that a man needs. lContinued on page 36l I i If xi tw I ' Lg' l L2 2 rf , iii 'jf OF I'II write those names Golden for ever eagles crying flames, And set them as a banner, that men may know, To dare the generations, burn, and blow Out on the wind of time, shining and streaming . . . v 1 i 9 , , lj 4 il 1 l Q ', , f 1 - I 1 ' ff swf for ....-. iff ,, I ? ul 4 J ,JW 'r ., 71? f i f , 'f My 7, ' ff!

He walked for hours in a straight line, mile after mile. It began to grow warm but still he kept on. It was early yet to turn around. He kept on and the far- ther he went, the better the land became. He wanted to continue, but now the sun was high in he heavens, so he made a marking on the turf, turned sharply to the left, and again went for a long distance in a straight line and then he turned the second corner. He knew he must hurry. The sun was now far down in the west. He wanted to rest but dared not. His money was at stake. He must reach the starting point! The sun was sinking lower and lower and again he quickened his pace. He threw away his boots, flask, and blouse as he hurried on, weary and staggering. His breath began to fail him. He was afraid of falling and, yet, he could not stop. He was getting nearer. He could see the starting point now. The Bashkirs were waiting for him. Pakholm exerted all his energies, threw himself bodily forward, and with outstreched arms collapsed at the starting point. As one of the men ran up to him and turned him over, a small stream of blood trickled out the corner of his mouth and he lay there, dead. How much land does a man need? The Bashkir took a hoe, dug a grave, made it just big enough, seven feet by two, and buried him. And this was all the land the man really needed. Many years ago, a wise man said, Where there is no vision the people perish. Unless there are programs of work for us to do, problems to be solved, unless there are promised lands to be entered, dreams to be realized, other than the gain of wealth only, there will be lacking in our lives the zest and spirit which make people live wor- thily. Man's power to achieve is scattered and dissipated unless he has in mind some vast all-absorbing proiect, some gratifying goal, intangible yet real to him. Without the searchlight which reveals the better road ahead, a driver is naturally inclined to think of the road upon which he is travelling only in terms of the mud and filth in which his car is mired. Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-five, The road of the world is in our ears, Thank God for the roar of the world! Thank God for the mighty tide of fears Against us always hurled. Thank God for the bitter and ceaseless strife, And the sting of His chastening rod. Thank God for the stress and pain of life, And oh, thank God for God!
