vebevvtlvlqy jpg Blfldlqav QW 1944 7 X Page Four DEDICATION Remembrance and admiration prompt us to dedicate our yearbook for 19414 to Miss Margaret Sheehan. Cheerful and efficient in her work as school secretary, she was ever ready to guide, to help, and to comfort us, however trivial or exacting our needs. Always gracious, never hurried, she has exemplified to us the meaning of true friendship. We wish her every happiness.

It is with a strange combination of happiness and regret that we reach the end of our course in Concord High School. For our scholastic accomplishments we are indebted to our teachers, who have shown a high degree of understanding and interest in usg never shall we forget their kindness. The past two years have brought 111any changes to us, the direct or indirect results of the War. Many of our classmates and teachers have left us to join the armed forces of our country. All of them we miss, but we are impressed by the fact that in spite of these changes in the faculty, the Concord High School has maintained its same high standards. Our parents, too, have done much to bring to pass the realiza- tions of this day. Their sacrifices, their prayers, and even their com- mands have all helped to bring this happy consummation to our High School career. To them also we would express our gratitude. Some adults have expressed pity fo1' the young people of this day, this day of upheaval and disorder and distress, but I am sure I speak for my contemporaries when I say that we are proud to he the youth of this generation and to be able to play such a tremendous part in the great World drama unfolding at this moment. No one has expressed our feelings more perfectly than William NVordsworth, who was putting i11to words the feelings of another generation of young people in another era of violence and revolution, when he said, HBliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to he young was very Heaven, FRANK PARKER Page Twenty-two -A FAREWELL Parents, teachers and friends: We, the class of 194-4, have come at last to the end of our high school life. I speak for the class when I say sincerely that we thank our parents for giving us the opportunity to travel this road and to arrive at the goal of successful graduation. We wish to thank our teachers and principals, also, for their never-ending help and patience in guiding us along this way. During the latter years we have found that many of us must make a detour f1'om the paths of future education and chosen careers in order that we may help to preserve and insure the privileges of freedom and education for us and the rest of the world. We are not forgetting the many boys of our class who have already started on this detour before graduation. We devoutly wish that they might be with us today, and we pray that they may speedily find their places in a peaceful world. Although we realize that this detour of war is grim, we face the future hopefully with our faith in God and our country, not forgetting that our foundation for the future has been laid here, and that some of our happiest memories will ever he of Concord High School. LESLIE BAYEUR Page Twenty-three CLASS HISTORY ln September, 1940, we, the class of 1944, turned our steps from Junior to Senior High School, some with trepidation, some with bravado, some with high ambitions. But however new and strange our first steps, we soon became accustomed to the new routine, and gradually unraveled the bewildering maze of corridors, rooms, bells and rules. Now, in June, 1944, we stand on an- other threshold, before a wider hor- izon, about to enter the far more be- wildering maze of life, the world, where we shall be on our own. But before we go, let us look back in re- view at the four years we have been together. Freshman year was spent mostly in getting acquainted and in making ourselves known to teachers and to each other. We were well repre- sented in all sports. Peter Harwood and Johnny Mandrioli were our shin- ing lights in football, and it was that winter that Tommy McKenna began showing his prowess as a 1'unner. Many of our number joined the Glee Club and tl1e Orchestra as well as becoming members of the Voice Staff and the Athletic Association, and we were proud of our many honor roll members. In February, Frank Parker began his stage career in 'flunc Mad, and Connie Rice gave promise of future talent in the same production. Baseball and track, with Donald Stowe as manager, wound up our first year during which we had taken part in the school activities and become familiar with our work. In 1941 we returned, no longer green but tried and true, feeling quite at home, taking up where we had left off the June before. Our Lincoln friends arrived this fall and they were a happy addition to our already active class which was the largest in the school. Donald Stowe, as manager, and Billy Parker, Johnny Mandrioli, and Pete Harwood as players, brilliantly upheld the glory of our class on the gridiron. Our girls entered i11to field hockey wholeheartedly, and contrib- uted much to the successful season. Early in the fall we gave a party of welcome to the Freshman class, ar- ranging a program entirely from our own talent: .lean Anderson sang, Connie Rice gave readings, and Tom and Terese McKenna entertained at the piano. Many joined the Glee Club and the Orchestra and as usual, actively sup- ported the A. A. The Magazine Drive was helped by our sales-talk, some of the class put this talking ability to good use on the Debating team, among them being Charlotte Rohan. Once again we contributed many names to the honor roll. In mid-winter the annual play claimed our attention. Under the able direction of Miss Rideout, cThe Rise of Silas Laphamn was presented successfully. The presence of Frank Parker and John Dunn added dis- tinction to the cast. Several of our class assisted on the Stage and Prop- erties Committees. The basketball team with Secondo Sablone, Freddy Giusti, and Tommy Gill captured the Burlington Tourna- ment, while Kay Varley and Muriel Fletcher were our addition to the girls' basketball team. Tommy McKenna continued l1is stellar suc- cess on the track team, breaking all sorts of records, including his own. That winter Mr. Geer organized the Student Council, and Rita Coyne and Charlotte Rohan represented the Sophomore class. Witli Mr. Cook at the helm, the baseball team weathered the season, and Tilly Hayes, Freddy Giusti, and Wally Macone did their best. George Blair was assistant manage1'. The declaration of war in Decem- ber had cast a shadow over our lives. Brothers and friends were leaving for service, everyone was knitting, taking First Aid courses, and serving long hours as airplane spotters. In September, 1942, we were back. We were Juniors and veterans now., less noisy than as Freshmen, less wise than as Sophomores, but more gay, more at home. Billy Parker, our president, dis- played great ability as a leader. Rita Coyne, our vice president, could be relied upon in any emergency. Arline Manter, secretary, kept an accurate record of the class, and Jolm Dunn ably handled our finances. Pete Harwood and Tommy Page Twenty-four McKenna had gone to other schools and were to be sorely missed on the sports field and in the class room. Billy Parker, Johnny Mandrioli, and Neil Hoyt continued to make names for themselves on the football team, encouraged by the capable cheerleaders including Kay Murphy, Milly Henry, Julia Mazzeo and Norma Sweetland. The girls were once more in evidence on Miss Clark's hockey team. Sports were not the only thing which claimed our attention that busy fall. There were the Glee Club and the Orchestra., directed by Mr. Taun- ton now that Mr. Held was in the service, and the annual Magazine Drive, with Rita Coyne as assistant manager was more successful than usual. The Voice Stali' brought out their first edition under our leader- ship, and Charlotte Rohan, as assist- ant edito1' contributed much to its popularity. From time to time, Wally Macone's snappy cartoons added a little Zing to the paper as they had in the two years previous. Our honor roll members continued to hold their own and added credit to our class. Basketball season came around and Wally Macone, Tommy Gill and Donald Rinaldo played on this team, while Kay Murphy, Kay Varley, and Muriel Fletcher joined the girls' team. Frank Parker was our only actor in HLetters to Lucernef, but several of our number were on the Make-up and Stage Committees. Milly Henry was elected vice presi- dent of the A. A. with many of the class as members. All during the winter the debating club was active with Rita Coyne as the able president. The .lunior class was represented on the Student Council by Rita and Charlotte again. With the coming of spring, Frank and Billy Parker and Donald Rinaldo showed that they could really run. Many girls went out for tennis and our two Wallys, Macone and Peter- son, did their best for dear old Con- cord High on the baseball team. , Wlien we returned as solemn Seniors i11 the fall of 1943 we were greatly reduced in numbers. Many had left for military service while some had taken defense jobs. Page Frank Parker was elected president of the class, with Kay Varley, vice- president, Milly Henry, secretary, and VV ally Macone, treasurer. Bill Parker was the able captain and several of the other Senior boys turned in good performances on our football team. Kay Varley and Mur Fletcher dom- inated the girls' sports with Kay serv- ing as captain of the basketball team, and Mur as captain of hockey and manager of basketball. Milly Henry led the cheerleaders, including Kay Murphy, Phyllis Carlson, .loan Kelley and Eleanor Rider. Rita Coyne took over the secretary- ship of the Student Council and was chosen assistant editor of the Voice with Charlotte Rohan, editor, and George Blai1', assistant business man- ager. Glee Club and the Orchestra with Mr. Kempf gave some delightful con- certs and Frank Parker, Winston Salter, Milly Henry and Martha Rotondo made G'Ramona', more en- tertaining for us with their gifted acting. .loan Kelley and Phyllis Carlson were on the Make-up com- mittee. George Burk and Albert Coffey were called to the colors in October and once more we felt the reality of war and its demands. Tommy Gill was captain of the basketball team, and Wally Macone held that position in baseball. Charlotte Rohan was our only class- mate who left for college in January, going to Boston University to carry on the good work for which she will be remembered. The Yearbook Committee have worked with a deep enjoyment and benefit on the 'GBridge , gathering material, attend- ing meetings and learning the intri- cate details essential for such a book. This review and record of our four years would not be complete without expressing our appreciation of the in- tangible but definite values encour- aged by the principals and teachers. We are truly proud to be members of the Concord High School class of 1944-, and we leave with regret its at- mosphere of easy justice and unthink- ing security. JEAN C. WILKINS HARRlE'f BATES WARREN HANSEN Twenty-five CLASS WILL We, the class of 1944, being of sound mind and body, do hereby he- queath the following possessions to our successors: ARTICLE I To the cafeteria, unbreakable milk bottles which will bounce back noise- lessly from the floor when dropped.

ELEANOR RIDER RITA COYNE Page Twenty-seven CLASS PROPHECY At the Reunion of the Class of 1944, held at the palatial mansion of DONALD STOWE, multimillionaire magnate, Jean and I were amazed to see many of our classmates of whom we had heard little since our gradua- tion ten years hefore. His private sec- retary, ELEANOR MACKAY, was on the reception connnittee along with his business manager, RICHARD CAR-SKADEN, and his mine expert, GEORGE BURK. CHARLOTTE ROHAN, the head of Jordan Marsh's Department Store, made a dramatic entrance wearing a fuschia gown with a daring neckline designed by LESLIE BAYEUR, a well-known designer for the fashion- able dress salon run by MARGUER- ITE BARTOLOMEO and JUNE WINDHOL. XVALTER MACONE, who replaced Bob Coyne, drawing sports cartoons for tl1e Boston Post, came with JOHN DUNN, a world famous florist who had just produced a new rose named uThe Baron . JOHN MCPHILLIPS followed these two and was bursting with pride at his recent appointment as head of thc First National Stores in New England. TERESE MCKENNA, a teacher who replaced Miss Boynton at Con- cord High, ELEANOR RIDER, the side-splitting comedian of stage and screen, and KATHERINE VARLEY, the gymnastic teacher at Boston's largest high school, dropped in, chat- ting merrily about their work of the past ten years. ELISABETH TOYVLE, JEAN YVILKINS, and MARIAN BAKER, speeding east from their horse ranch in Arizona especially for the reunion, arrived at the same time as FRANK PARKER, newly elected President of the United States, who was accom- panied by DONALD RINALDO, am- bassador to Italy. JOAN KELLEY and PHYLLIS CARLSON, who had been on a sight- seeing tour on the XVest Coast and Mexico, flew in from California with FLORENCE AYERS, who is teaching the Hollywood stars how to keep their hair blond. VINCENT DEE, the author of the year's best seller, HHOW to Raise White Mice for Fun and Profit, brought a few of his pets to show us. CALVERT WILSON 'phoned that he and ALBERT COFFEY would be late because of an important conference at the NBC radio studio. ELIZABETH INGHAM rushed in, followed by her better-half, a Navy Commander, eager to see her old friends. Soon after, that second Frank Sinatra, JOHN LORING, ar- rived with CATHERINE MURPHY and EVA LANGILLE, who write syn- dicated articles on love and marriage, swooning at his heels. One of the big moments of the evening was the appearance of THERESA MCPHILLIPS, famous star of the Ziegfield Follies, with her skillful manager, WALLACE PE- TERSON, and her producer, THOMAS GILL. WILLIAM PARKER and PAS- QUALE ARENA entertained us with their popularswing hand, their torch singer, ADDIE BENSON, gave us a few renditions of songs popular when we went to school. We were surprised to see EVER- ETT DEXTER, who had been given up for dead while he was exploring in the jungles of Borneo. He brought SUZANNE SERVAIS, head of the W0mCl1,S Air Corps School, and her two chief instructors, MARION KING and CONNIE PAYNE. ANNA DISALVATORE and JULIA MAZZEO, co-heads of the famous model agency, were there showing their two glamorous models, CLAIRE MEADE and MARGARET CARSON, to the appreciative guests, while CHRISTINE MAKRYS and PRIS- CILLA MAGURE, owners of a fa- Page Twenty-eight mous New York restaurant on Fifth Avenue, drove up in their Cadillac with their world-famous chef, THER- ESA SIGMAN, and their dietitian, MARY FARICELLI. Much to our surprise, we learned that DAVID ANDERSON had be- come a minister devoted to spreading the faith, and that PATRICIA AHERN writes the most widely read gossip column in Boston. CLAIRE JOYCE has joined the Barnum and Bailey Circus as a trapeze artist, and NEIL HOYT is now the head of the Concord Police Department. JOHN CORKUM, who recently was awarded a medal as the man who has done the most for his country during the past year, was present with MARTHA ROTONDO, head libra- rian of the Concord Public Library. RITA COYNE gave us all auto- graphed copies of her latest book, How I Established the Post-war Peace. ARLINE MANTER, that lovely Powers model, was escorted by hand- some WIALLIAM THORESEN, ensig11 in the United States Navy, and also by GEORGE BLAIR, a broker on Wfall Street. BARBARA MARTELL, who re- cently started a nation-wide fad by painting her airplane rainbow colors, appeared with FRANCES HAL- LORAN, Miss America of 1953. HARRIET BATES and MILDRED HENRY were unable to attend be- cause they were in France making an intensive study of the national lan- guage. ALBERT VANDERHOOF and FRANCIS HANCOCK, those two great FBI men, talked interestingly about their never-ending war on crime. WINSTON SALTER, English pro- fessor at Harvard, conversed with HELEN HARRISON, scenario writer for M.G.M., on modern methods for teaching spelling. MARIE THURSTON and ANNIE DERUZZO, who run a kindergarten for under-privileged children, told us many amusing stories about them, and DOROTHY DONNELLY told us some of her experiences as a nurse in Europe during the Second Wvorld War. Almost any night you can see ANTHONY COTOIA., our famous naturalist, tripping through the woods on the trail of a butterfly, and almost any day you can see XVARREN HANSEN posing for advertisements as thc worldis new Charles Atlas. TINA ALESSI, who runs Boston's largest laundry, stopped to speak with us along with SUSIE RIZZI- TANO, who is making a fortune on the bird seed she invented. SIGRUN HOJEM and MARILYN PORTER, who ow11 the famous .lerko Beauty Salon which guarantees to make you beautiful in ten easy treat- ment, came looking as youthful as ever to advertise their skill. BETTY ANN BALL and MURIEL FLETCHER just back from Florida where they had been making a for- tune betting on horses, came late but dressed smartly in cruise-shop models. At this point, ,lean and I, greatly impressed and subdued by the success of our classmates, quietly slipped. away and returned to our modest home where we could read or write as contentedly as we wished.
