We went up to the second floor with many ideas of what our future would hold. As Fresh- men, we learned what it was like to be in high school. We elected our officers for the first time. The president of our Freshman class was Joseph Kelly. We also obtained our first high school identification emblems, our shiny class pins. Miss Reed was our homeroom teacher. How she endured us, we ' ll never know! Our Sophomore year was simply a year of homework. Miss Sullivan was our new home- room teacher. Our one highlight of the year was a dance, which was a financial success but a social failure. Then our big year of being called Juniors came. There were only two things which upset us; one, we had to remain in the same home- room; and two, we were not yet Seniors. We could now be identified by our class rings as well as our pins. Our Junior Prom proved to be one of the best, ( that ' s what they all say I . When June came around we said good-bye to Dr. Libby, our homeroom teacher, and all vowed to get big desks in the Senior room come next fall. We did get our desks and that wonderful Senior homeroom teacher, Miss Nelson. Our high school days are nearly over and yet we will never forget our friends and the knowledge we have gained. In closing we ' d like to say that we feel that we are a special sort of a class, not because we are we, but because we are the last Senior class to inhabit our old school building. I ' ll bet we couldn ' t have had any more fun, even in a new building. SENIOR SECRETS Name Alias Famous For — How They Got Through School J. Bates Batesy Marge Rhine Vote for Bates Brains, my lad N.

President: Margaret Zuccari, Secretary; Stuart Heywood. Martha Ricsh. Barbara Turner. Robert Ripley, Ronald Ferreira, Frank Pickering. Rick) Dexter. Carlo Lagrotteria. and Norman Jason. Mr. Har- ris is adviser. The World Friendship Club has had few outside activities. However, on one occasion, Stuart and Mr. Harris attended a local UNESCO meeting at Miss Bowman ' s home in Cohasset. This group meets every Wednesday during the fifth period. The discussions at these meet- ings consist of current xvorld problems and give many new ideas to the members. This club is an excellent opportunity for people who have ideas on the way the world is going, and on the xvay it should go. We hope that the school will take advantage of their fifth period class and join the World Friendship Club. Robert Heywood, ' 51 TESSAHOC L5 Last Chapel At dawn Sunday morning as we drove out to the point, the fog seemed to thicken, and we seemed to be further from clanging civilization and closer to God than ever before. Toward the chapel, the point grew narrower and we could hear the surf pounding on the breakwater and occasionally see the salt spray spurt into the air. We parked the car and walked along the tiny footpath to the chapel. Here the neck grew still narrower and once in a while we could feel the spray as it bounded from the rocks. Nearing the chapel, we could hear the organ, while in the distance the fog horns growled dismally their warning to the ships. Now and then we could catch the flash from the Cozy Harbor light. At last I caught a glimpse of the tiny chapel of which I had heard so very much. It was just as I had pictured it: small, with a little steeple in which hung a tiny bell. It was built of stone, and the arched windows were softened by stained glass, depicting the life of Christ. The steps of the chapel were wet from the heavy fog, and inside, the chapel itself was damp. The dampness, however, was overcome by the inner warmth one feels at church. The service was short and simple, but lovely; as the postlude played, I paused on the steps. This was the last day of my visit. 1 had loved every minute of it. and now came this perfect climax. Onward Christian Soldiers! The fog had formed an even thicker blanket: the interval be- tween the fog horn s growls had shortened; the surf beat harder. As I walked away from the chapel, I was surer, surer than ever, that I was a Christian Soldier marching forward, for- ward to more adventure accompanied by God. Janet Bates, ' 51 What Democracy Means To Me Democracy is defined in the New Century Dictionary as follows: Government by the people: a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exer- cised by them or their elected agents: also, a state having such a form of government: in a restricted sense, a state in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised di- rectly by them rather than by elected officials: also, a state of society characterized by nominal equality of rights and privileges: political or social equality: democratic spirit: also, the common people of a community as distinguished from any privileged class; the common people with respect to their political power. Americans have a blase way of assuming the attitude that they are just lucky to have been born into this American heritage. Our form of government has lasted all these years: why should it fold up now? If these people were to be deprived of their democracy, they would com- plain loudly! This is quite apparent in rebellions within our country: oh, not bloody rebellions like those we read about. Rebellions appear in all forms, from a mere child ' s tantrum to nation-wide strikes. In many cases it is re- bellion against a force which interferes with prog- ress. Democracy is progress! Democracy is an intangible something that people have died to keep living. It might be described as the matter contained in the Bill of Rights ; or it might be our entire Constitution. But actually democracy is more than that, isn ' t it? Democracy to me is the smell of a cooking roast after church on Sundays, the cheers at a football game, the shriek of a policeman ' s whistle, a little boy crying over his bleeding knee. It is larger too, by far, than a small cry. It is the roar of a large city, whirring machinery, tons of water pouring over our great dams. Newspapers, movies, clergymen, our public servants, even our meals are the very essence of democracy. To us in the United States democracy stands for a great deal. It is not a type of government. It is a symbol of freedom. We are Democracy! Janet Bates, ' 51 French Cluh In Cohasset High School, one of the most ac- tive clubs is the French Club. Most of its mem- bers are studying, have studied, or are going to study French. At present, the French Club has twelve mem- bers. They are: Faith Carolan. President: Janet Ross, Secretary: Barbara Turner. Treasurer: Stuart Heywood. Philip James. Nancy Barrett. Nancy Thayer. Margaret Zuccari. Jane Mulvey. Nancy Coggan. Ann Simeone, and Barbara Hoss. Miss Reed is the club adviser. This year has been a very busy one for the French Club. Since September it has had ten food sales. Cookies, cake, and fudge, which are donated by Miss Reed, the members, and their friends, are sold at these food sales. The profits are used to send packages to an orphanage in France. These boxes contain a number of items such as: pencils, erasers, paper, shoes, clothing, food, toys, and many other much needed articles. The French Club has had two social gather- ings this year. The first one was held at Faith Carolan s home, and the other was held at Bar- bara Turner s home. T ESS A II OC One day. in the last week of February, the members of the French Club went to Boston to see an exhibition on French cooking at the Jordan Marsh store. Profits from the big March sale have been used for the purchase of French pins for the members. The French Club is doing a fine job this year. a it has in the past, and we hope it will con- tinue to receive full cooperation from the stu- dent bod) in the future.

The guards split our class into two groups, and I imagine both groups saw and heard the same things. From the outside the prison looks very dark and dismal, but when we got inside we found that it was quite bright and immaculately clean. The painl was new. the doors were clean, and there was no smell of the pungent disinfectant that we noticed at Framingham Women ' s Reformatory, The guards took us on a tour of the prison, which is divided into three wings. These are called the North Wing. South Wing, and the West Wing, hi the center of these wings there is the visiting room and the majority of the prison offices. On the lower floor, in the center, there is the kitchen. This kitchen is spotless and the clean smell of the bakery is noticeable. The average prison cell is approximately 10 feet by 12 feet. In some of the cells they are allowed to have easy chairs and various other furniture brought in from the outside. The aver- age cell has a bed. one, or possibly two chairs, a desk, ash trays, book shelf, earphones, maga- zines, and the equipment they use in pursuit of their hobbies. For instance one man had a draw- ing hoard, compasses, rulers, and other instru- ments. Another inmate made miniature statues and painted them. The earphones 1 have men- tioned were used in the place of radios and also for the warden to make announcements. The warden ' s name was John J. O ' Brien. On the top floor of the prison there is a large auditorium w ith a seating capacity of 1.000 men. It is in this room where church is held on Sun- day. Occasionally, on week-ends and holidays, movies or shows are given in this auditorium. At present there are approximately six hun- dred and thirty inmates. The capacity of the prison is nine hundred and twenty. After leaving the main building we visited the library. It was here that we were given a copy of The Mentor ' . This pamphlet is put out by a group of inmates and is quite interesting. After leaving the library the boys in our group visited what is called ' The Shop ' . It is in this building that all the license plates for the State of Massachusetts are made. It is a very intri- guing process. They begin with large sheets of metal which are cut into ten-foot strips which weigh twenty-eight pounds. These strips are then cut into squares by machinery and num- bers impressed into them. After this the plates are put on an endless conveyor chain. On this chain they are painted and dried. After leaving the shop, we were shown ' the death house . It is here that criminals are elec- trocuted. A prisoner is in a cell just outside the electric chair twelve hours before his electrocu- tion. A man comes from New York to adjust all the intricate wiring, cutouts, fuses, and other equipment. Since 1900 there have been only 60 criminals who have been electrocuted. The last one was in 1947. TESS AHOC L7 Charlestown State Prison is a good prison in main ways. The food is supposed to be good, the prisoners are supposed to have enough free time. On the whole. I would say that I benefited quite a bit from my visit at the prison. Robert Heywood, ' 51 A History Lesson hen I think of all the things at school girl has got to do — And studving historv. as a rule. Is worst of all I think, don ' t you? And though I study day and night. There ' s only one thing I ' ve got right. That is fourteen ninety-two! Ann Patrolia, ' 52 The Framingham Women ' s Reformatory On our arrival at the reformatory we were met by a Miss Noonan. a secretary employed at the prison. We w ere requested by her to sign our names, addresses, and felonies if we had com- mitted any. She then unlocked the door and took us into the interior. The prison was laid out in a series of corridors. We first saw one of the dining rooms in which the inmates ate. This room was uniform, but quite pleasant. Then we were brought through a class room. Here I thought there was very little difference from that of a classroom in a public school. We were told that there were various subjects the inmate could take. Further on we saw the small chapel, the infirmary, and the librarv. One thing in the librar which I thought unusual was the tele- vision set. On a different floor the work rooms were located. Here the flags were made to be purchased by the state: these flags were both state and national. The state flag took a great deal of sk ill, because the inside emblem had to be hand painted. In a room next to this one we saw the other type of work done by the inmates. This was the making of men ' s wool socks. Last and most important thing we saw was one of the cells in which an inmate was kept for the first three weeks of her term. This cell was very small with brick walls that had been white washed. It contained one chair, one table, and one bed. The corridor in which these cells were located was very dark and depressing. During the tour we went into the large chapel and here Miss Noonan gave us a chance to ask questions. One thing which she told us was the typical day for the typical inmate. At six-thirty she would arise and by eight she would have her bed made and have eaten. From eight to twelve she works at many of the sundry jobs. At twelve she eats and has a smoke: then goes back to work until three. From three to five she will go to school. At nine-thirty she must be in her cell and the lights will be put out. We were also told that a girl may he entered on a charge of drunk- eness to murder. I think the reformatory is a very clean and well run institution. It gives many tests, etc.. to help the inmate to find what is wrong. Two of these tests are the Wexler and the Rorshach. The Rorshach is the most helpful and the most ex- pensive. The inmate is shown a series of ink blots and they tell the doctor what they see in them. By doing this they get to the subconscious mind. Though there are locked doors at the prison, there are many ways in which the inmate can re- lease her energy. They try to help the prisoner occupy her mind during her imprisonment. One feature of the reformatorv which helps do this is the gym. a place I was surprised to find in a prison. Here there were the conveniences of a public school. I think the trip to this modern reformatory will be a great help to us. Paula Twomey. 51 L8 TKSS V HOC March 26.

The highlights of the 1950 season were: a Faculty Tea. held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ilenrx Sweeney, and a dinner at Hugo ' s followed by a Sox-Indian game at Fenway Park. This March another induction ceremony was held. ISow Philip James, Jeanne Stewart, Gene Tower. Barbara Turner, and Paula Twomey have joined us. It ' s a secret now. but the society, with its sponsor. Miss Sullivan, is planning another Faculty Tea. In a few weeks it. too. will be history. The Osgood Chapter of the National Honor Society is now four years old and has had twenty- one members since its institution in 1948. That ma sound like quite a few members from a small school, but remember, the membership of the society is not at all crowded. There is a place for every member of the school !

This year the team had a good season with a record of 6 wins and onlv 1 defeat. Marshfield showed us our only loss by defeating us in a hard-fought game. The team ' s strong points were Carol Gonsalyes ' pitching and Mary Ann Gray ' s hitting. Junior High girls made up a good portion of th e team and proved themselves to be capable ball players. The squad consisted of the following players: Mary Ann Gray, Carol Gonsalyes, Lillian Mee- han. Connine Malley. Maureen Burns. Barbara Conte. Ruth Stover. Connie Longo, Helen Sal- vador.

The team ended up in a three-way tie for the South Shore League tille between Hanover, Scituate and Cohasset. At the beginning of the season things didn ' t look too up and coming for Cohasset. Coach Dorr adopted the T formation, which had been used very little by Cohasset in prior years, and a change soon became apparent since the squad was quick to adapt itself to this formation. The team s spirit, throughout the season, was unusually high. On Thanksgiving Day morning, it was a very interesting sight to see four graduating captains walk out to the center of the field before their final high school game to meet the opposing captains and coach. The four graduating Seniors are: John Emanuello. Ralph Froio. Bob Hey- wood, and big Gerry Ferreira. Froio and Eman- uello arc backfield men. whereas Heywood and Ferreira are linesmen. These four boys will be sorely missed, but Coach Dorr still has some great hall players re- turning. Cohasset ' s football ability seems to be getting better each year. Good luck to you and your squad in ' 51, Coach Dorr. Note: Ralph Froio and Louis Figueiredo were selected on the All-Star South Shore League foot- ball team. Each received a gold football statue from the Quincy Patriot Ledger.

Cohasset Basketball - 1950 The Cohasset Basketball team, under Coach McNeil, didn ' t finish in first place, but won some verv close games. The best defensive game was the first game of the season with East Bridge- water. Cohasset won that game by a thrilling score of 83 to 77. In one of the league games Cohasset s sensa- tional Bill Morgan tied his Boston Garden record with forty-four points, while his teammate Rocco Sorrentino scored twenty-two. The score stood. Cohasset 87, Kingston 69. About two nights later Bill Morgan and Rocco Sorrentino were guests on Bump Hadley s TV sports show. Cohasset ended in third place in the Northern Division of the South Shore League. Neverthe- less, the team broke some records, which made Coach McNeil very happy. One was the Cohasset and St. Jean s tournament game in which Co- hasset s Bill Morgan scared 55 points. The team also broke the record which was 75 points in one tournament game. The final score was Cohasset 96, St. Jean ' s 35. The team looks forward to a successful hoop season in 51- 52.

There ' s magic in lights . . . add a light here,, place a spotlight there, and your portrait takes on the appearance of real form and individuality. Your Vantine photographer knows how lighting effects can be best used. . . . How easily they can reflect your personality. Your Vantine photographer knows best how to secure the sharply etched photograph your engraver desires of the important senior year. . . . The victories of the athletic teams. . . . The brilliance of social occasions. . . . The Prom. . . . The plays. . . . The debates. . . . The expression of everyday li fe on the campus. That personalized portraits by Vantine are important is attested to by the fact that over 300 schools and colleges repeatedly entrust their photo- graphic work to Vantine.
