To Ensign George F. Morin, United States Navy ul' In appreciation of his con- tribution to our school life- as teacher, coach and friend- we, the class of 1942, dedicate this book. Like every Ameri- can, Ensign George Morin is gladly doing his duty. We shall always remember his days with us in Darien-his hard work, his steadfast efforts to pull us through on top. As he worked with us, so he will work for the nation's fighting Navy. In these days we, as the first class to graduate from Darien during World War II, realize the diffi- .4 cult and strenuous times ahead. To all those who A are fighting and giving their lives abroad, and those who are working ,,-, J I here at home, we give our highest tribute.

Looking over the old communiques and bulle- tins of the past few years as posted in the edi- torial light of our news sheets, the Spotlight and the Neirad, we find that we have scrawled our official x on quite a few things, over and above those on English projects. Adding them all together, we find a pretty -large total, so combining literature with mathematics we find that ....... We were introduced to the Senior High as eighth-graders way back when the class of '42 was transferred to a brand new building labelled Darien Junior High. Seemingly after a very short while we again pulled up stakes, with a picnic fling at Pear Tree Point to cele- brateg waved good-bye to Darien's new monu- ment to taxpayers, presented it with a state flag QConnecticut, remember?Jg and with a whoop and a holler passed on to greater glory as full fledged Sophomores. With dignity befitting our new, and higher status, we plunged into the depths of the school political pie and produced our four political plums, namely, Walter O'Neill as President, Fran Driggs as Vice-President, Marion An- drew, as Secretary, and Bill Gillette as Treas- urer. Come to think of it, '39 was quite a busy year for us. When November 3 rolled around, the class of '42 burst upon high society and everyone took a bow at the Sophomore Hop. Our first big social moment was put in excel- lent working order by Val Richardson, Marion Andrew, Phyl Gruber, Fran Driggs, Gloria Sherer, Anne Walker, Walter O'Neill, Avery Dougherty, Virginia Bell, Drew Painter and Jean Thompson, and set to music by Butch Savoca and his orchestra. If you think that '39 was an eventful year, look at the year we became Juniors, 1940! As Juniors we had our responsibilities, which were taken care of with fine administration. The first was, naturally, our class officers. 1940 may have brought Roosevelt back to the nation, but the Juniors refused to break precedent, and our election returns brought to the Presidency Bill Gilletteg Vice-President, Marie Jones, Sec- retary, Fran Driggs, and Treasurer, Ray Boddy. The year 1940 also brought the class' first attempt at drahma, a successful attempt, I might add. The one night stand of Seven Sisters, starring Tom Tiernan, Val Richardson, Joyce Trefry, Lorena Henson, and Arthur Neeley went over with a bang. One.of the few costume plays ever given -in D. H. S., the play of seven daughters and whose total liabilities consisted of a complete lack of dowry. The performance glittered with gold braid and colorful Hungarian costumes and everyone turned in a grand job of acting. For the Junior Prom of February 21, 1941, the class again shone forth in social glory. Once more, the class donned its party clothes and manners and didn't even trip over its heels while dancing to Danny Smith's music. Due to the efforts of the committees, composed of Lor- ena Henson, Val Richardson, Bill Gillette, Fran Driggs, and Connie Arthur, the Juniors and their guests enjoyed a gala evening. On May thirteenth of the same year not only the Juniors, but the entire school dpaid tribute to the three highest standing stu ents of the class. Our intelligentsia, Eleanor Ashley, Jean Thompson and Marie Jones, addressed the school and planted the ivy. Well, then September of '41 brought us back to D. H. S., this time as Seniors. We im- mediately proceeded with the business at hand and elected Drew Painter as our chief executive, aided faithfully by Val Richardson as Vice- President, Midge Webb fulfilling secretarial duties, and Russ North as Treasurer. One of the first duties performed by the class was that of electing a yearbook staff. We nominated Ray Boddy as Editor-in-chief, and he was aided by Jean Thompson, Eleanor Ashley, Peggy Calla- han and Arthur Neeley. On the twenty-eighth of November the class again broke into the dramatic page. The costume play of our Junior year had been so successful that the class decided to put its hopes on yet another, so this time we presented Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to Darien. The cast featured Bill Gillette, Winifred Jones, Lor- ena Henson, Ed Steele, Connie Arthur, Val Richardson, and Joyce Trefry in the leading roles. All of the cast performed excellently, but the evening's best performance, in the opin- ion of all and sundry, was Winny Jones' epic portrayal of fluttery, brainless Mrs. Bennett. The costumes again made a big hit, from John Nees' plaid pants to Lorena's spectacular ball dress. The biting humor of Jane Austen's masterpiece went over the footlights with not a mishap and the seniors were well pleased, a- long with the audience, with their efforts. At present that is all I can write, histori- cally speaking, concerning our class. However, they say that history repeats itself so it's a sure thing that our future attempts will be as suc- cessful as our past achievements have been.

We, the class of '42, do hereby will our ability to run our affairs in a last minute hustle and bustle to the class of 1943. To go with it we will them all the teachers' headaches over us. In leaving we give them the glamour of our girls Qif you care for it after next year's styles come inj and also the handsomeness of our boys.

Then see where you get! To those interested in music we will them our warbling if they sing' or our squeaks if they play an instrument. For any who like telling jokes we give them our warped sense of humor, although you never can equal our corney jokes. In fact, to you, dear juniors, we leave the whole school from basement to top roof with all its trimmings Qincluding the much worn stage curtainj. It is with true sincerity that the class of '42 will the best of luck and happiness to the class of '43.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-two. set our hands and seal this 11th day of june, in the Doris Cash Midge Webb Ralph Bliss Eleanor Ashley Proph june, 1947-Another contingent of Darien conscripts embark on a journey to Fort Dix, New jersey, where they will undergo a year of compulsory military training. Many members of the class of '42 are present--some escorted by wives, children, and installment collectors. The train starts, farewells are made, and Beaner O'Neill races to catch the train. With a current issue of the Darien Review and Collier's, I prepare for the long journey. The front page of the Review discloses that Marie jones is now the wife of a Lieuten- ant-Commander Robert Halley, and also that Valerie Richardson and Priscilla Wagner have opened a night club on 47th Street in New York. just after finishing the paper, we arrive at Grand Central Station, and change over to a train for Fort Dix. I just have time to read the first article in Collier's about Lieutenant Al Punzelt of the Army Air Corps, who has downed 27 enemy aircraft to date. Arriving at the camp, we are herded to our barracks and spend a bewildered afternoon getting settled. Early next morning we were awakened by the brazen blast of a bugle tooted by George Weisert, the Army's original Boo- gie Woogie Bugle Boy. Soon after this, we have our first lecture barked at us by Sergeant Bill Kirschner, better known to Darienites as Darien's most eligible bachelor. An unexpected pleasure is a surprise visit by General Richard Mason and Civilian Defense Director Eleanor Ashley. Gradually now we are getting used to Army life and nightly we have a reunion, for there are many Darien boys here. The boys tell in whispered tones of Anna Cucco's getting mysterious letters from a member of the armed forces of an Axis power, and that Anne Walker, Mary Steinegger, and Marion Adcock are em- ployed as hostesses at Fort Kelly, Fairbanks, Alaska. One of the most prominent in these discussions is Bob Fuller, a cook stationed here, who is reported to write to half the girls in Darien. A tough M. P. drops in to relax from his duties, and he tells us a heart-rending tale 5 XXX xx OSL ff' K ff Z -S. lx.. vp 'T ffl , n. , ,,,, , ,,, x f '2 ' ' xi of how he sent a letter to that famous Broad- way star, Connie Arthur, and had not even re- ceived an autographed picture. It was our own Clark Ridgely. We have our first taste of K. P. duty to- day, and the complaints are pouring in. Maybe the soup tastes bad because Bill Van Sciver dropped his watch into it and fell in, trying to retrieve it. We also see the lowest ranking soldier in the whole army--Second Class Assist- ant Yardbird, Arthur Neeley. Conspicuous by his absence is Bill Gillette, and I learn that he is an apprentice seaman on board the S. S. Mary Lou, crack ship of the Beacon Ferry Service Company. Although the navigator of the same line, Charlie Stevens, outranks Gillette, Bill expects to receive a promotion soon. By reading the papers, I learn the whereabouts of Dick Lighthall, Rus- sell North, Anthony Festa, Dick Batesole, and Bill Miller. They are all Marines, and have formed among themselves the famous Wolves Battalion, so named because of their lighting ability, I presume, and have done gallant work in capturing 36 enemy outposts and taking 856 prisoners. We are also missing jack Latham and Larry Barker, both of whom now drive tanks for their Uncle Sam. In civil life, they are both renowned criminal lawyers. Maneuver time permits us to go south, and jimmy Dolan, former banker, and Avery Dau- gherty, celebrated sculptor, approve this move heartily. On our way south, we see a group of sailors and their girls, and those seamen are none other than Warren Palmer, Robert Sco- field, Ed Wadhams, and Franklin Bush. A last Proph glimpse at their girls, and sure enough there are Muriel Foye, Phyllis Crabb, and Dorothy Groppe. They all have defense jobs at the Martin Aircraft plant. They are the only women riveters in the plant. The latest issue of' the Darien Review ar- rives, and we all read and re-read the items about our former schoolmates. There are very few men left in town now, so the gossip is mostly on the feminine side. Lorena Henson Smith Allen Howe Radinski has eloped again, and therefore will be able to add another name to her list of husbands. Midge Webb and Ralph Bliss are still seen together once in a while, and Ruth Wendell has announced her engagement to a Marine who is exactly SM, feet tall. just to be in the vogue, Ginny Bell has married Percival Van Loan, the chewing gum magnate. Listed among the career women of our class are stenographer Frances Driggs, and dress designer Barbara Post. Winifred jones and Mary Cross have invented a new type of sound locator, to be used by the Navy. Our next stop is Birmingham, Alabama, where Mayor Ed Tinker heads a racketeering ring. It is reported that he and Don Guenin have embezzled sixteen thousand dollars. Here we see two famous members of the Bal- lerina troupe, Peggy Callahan and Gloria Sherer. For no apparent reason, this city is full of Darienites. Defense workers Gus Mclnerny and George Bates are living here and working in the johnson and Smith Toy Novelty Com- pany, which has a high priority rating, and they tell us that Josephine Sarni and Lucille Sci also work there. After our short stay at Birmingham, we proceed to our new camp, where we are greeted by Albert Schwab, Public Relations officer here. During the first day, we meet many old friends: Sergeant Pilots Ed Steele and Ralph Roddy, Nurses Dot McKeon, and Doris Cash, and Ski Trooper Gordon Tyler. In our first simulated battle, our boys show great promise. Richard Parshall, Frank Grif- fith, and joe DiChiaro capture the enemy general, while the Scribner brothers, who are r Q XXx G f D 'N X ., A ff - If ' Af -. v -X .tx . all ifityiii ffl' x. '.

On our way back to camp, we stop at a hot dog stand run by Lois Creigh and Francis Dooley.. Robert Palleson and john Nees of the Chemical Warfare Division come over for a little chat, and Palleson leaves with all the money in the crowd and a pair of trained dice. Bob Caldwell comes in during the chat to tell us that the Vice President's wife, the former jean Thompson, is to pay us a visit tomorrow. Drew Painter excuses himself, for he must get up early tomorrow and polish the captain's boots. The latest news is that Herbie Weed and Bosco Miller, the omniscient directors em- ployed by President George Frasca of the Southern area, will be on hand tomorrow, as will Barbara LaRoche, Margaret Copeland, and Anita Nacci,. special police of the F. B. I. joe Vitti, author of that famous novel, No. 2 Man on a Totem Pole, reflects that there hasn't been such excitement since Donald Singer ate the captain's dinner. After the big excitement is over, we notice that Joyce Trefry, Phyllis Gruber, and Kath- erine Lindt are trying to date up the young officers, but their friends Alice St. john and Marie Mallozzi walk away in high disdain. You can see that the class of '42 has made its mark in the world, and although we have put Darien on the map, just wait until the war is over and we can return to our old jobs, and really show that we of the class of 1942 A. D. really have genius and ability. :N gn N gee ao:-' :gm-egw jo: zaoi :Ev H: L33 N :Ea som: :EEEBU EO: age -526 .-away: :ENE yu-ESB: :EEBEE :Em G 2 gg 2:5 --:E EO: tugs?- Loop' 10352 Mum: 23 you 3.03 :tam hum: NCEHNEN :OE 1:3 mEoUuw: :E-oe oz: :EBM 54: :O--UF' A-N32 H Ee: tio?- -Ncue meson :Ep :un V:-UB: mn-Egg :OE -MEM 30: gas- :anon 0-3: L:-6 gh Mm: -Nigga oz: 8-mmmm ma:-ug 3:2-U : Ham E MEM UE Bm 8 E96 gow: 'um O1 .swim HOA: :SEQ rm: :N 233 Us E Ugg?-' :QUME --U13 be J-:E J-gm: w-:EUEOW mia? :KE LO: MEF-gg HSE :U-UQ sm: Bam mm ao sem :Bas 30525 an C0662 5:34 MEEETE was-Na 2585 maimms ,UM-U05 EERE We has meow 30553 WEEE:-U 350-U -:Sew RUSDOGEW v-Sa 395 Uwgm me-2 MAE-USU 22-UNUH mga-Us 380357 mais ESU View mg-wma EERE mmvasggc 50:3 MEF-33 QWUEUENV 3053-SMU MGE:-A 3053: mmU-mgosvam mgegsv N-E3 UUSHEOQWUES gm-H85 MEEE mano-G meta QUEUEV wsu-dam WO :B HES? w-H333 .E-EN :Bae QUESOEBW -coin EO: 8536 mia BE mg-HO-U UUE :QUEEN 5300: mi:-m .EE EEE Hom cz C33 an ws:-a O-Ea 32-Em O2 mgagm ago 532 E335 sans Exp Eu-U05 mimi gm :E SEO-U SES: WO gsm gig? get to M532-m 220,- :Heins mgawb-:K D203 as 3?-OZ NASE: sim:- Aggw 22 E ENB 560: M-5:5 V395 EEUU ge V 30-:Div HOOEW H223 -its N M-ESE ABU H-Em zap' mia SOEOLA-om 3-E 3:32 3- 522 303 33 WE W-rm MEPEU EE Ewa: Dam 3301- cometh EEL u-Sb?

On and on the Devil dances, Faster and faster Satan prances ,... Listen to the music swell In this Aria from Hell. George M. Bates EDUCATION I walked this morning down a grassy path Whose either side was lined with elm trees Ancient and tall. Wine glasses they, Set on a cool green table And filled with songs and sun and sky. I drank of them a sparkling wine Of inspiration, peace and joy. It made me drunk. I wondered this morning why men study books Of men long dead, For music, warmth, and inspiration Are free, yet costly ----- just living is learning. Jean Thompson A winter wind has sprung on high, The wind blows cold and chill, The cattle all are sheltered nigh, Down from field and hill. No human dares to face the wave That lashes with its might. Nothing is abroad save The traveler of the night. Stormy Petrel, courageous bird Who breasts the savage wind, His feeble cry can scarce be heard As the great waves crash in. Whither art thou bound, small one? You are a heartening sight, Disdaining to bask in the warm sun You dare the cruel wind's might. Fly on, may the prize be thine May you never falter or sway. STORMY PETREL Fly 'til you reach your own kind, Push on through night and day. We see you and you bring us cheer, Small bird. Do you know why? It means summer will soon be here. The clouds are white and blue the sky. And you on the wild northern strand fWhere the artic terns stayj Nest. You love this rugged land Where nights are long and short the day The brave don't lose, and you are brave, The persevering win. You face the storm and light the wave, Nor mind the great wind's din. Petrel, you deserve your name, Stormy, it is true. Yet how slight you hold your fame. Fly on, more strength to you! Lois Creigh STORM AT COMPO BEACH Black, angry straight streaks of rain Stab the dark, galloping waves, Lash them onto the gray, lone beach White, foaming tentacles of brake, Grope for the elusive sand. I sit on the damp beach, Pushing bare feet into the wet sand, Scooping clenched hands into cold land My tumult inside absorbed By cold waves and wet sky, I raise refreshed limbs And run lightly home Away from the soothing wrath Of the sea.

BOYS' SPORTS As we look back upon sport's highlights we see that victory has once again been heard in the halls of good old D. H. S. The football season was not so successful as in seasons before, but we know that old saying, Wait until next year. The football squad in six games won one and lost five, which is not too good, but it could be worse. Ed Schwarz led the boys until a mishap which he received in one of the first games. With a back field of George Punzelt, Bliss, Lionetti, and Saverine we had only one veteran, and that was hard hitting Bliss. Ralph is a senior and will not receive any more passes from center. On the line we had three good fighting men,-Improta, O'Neill and Cassidy. Next on the program basketball was ush- ered in and was one of the most successfulusea- sons Darien has had in recent years. Led by Captain and Senior, Dick Batesole, the varsity quintet, lining up with three veterans, Schwarz, Lionetti, Punzelt, and joey Vitti, showed a good season with live victories in 13 tries. By this five game winning streak the basketeers nearly clinched a league title and a possible invitation to a playoff in the championship. During that victory spree the quintet spilled Rye, who had an eight game winning streak, our old rival New Canaan, Westport, Ridgefield, and a bean stalk team from Mt. Kisco, New York. Batesole and Vitti, the only seniors, are now leaving this victorious squad in the hands of ' Punzelt, Lionetti, Schwarz, along with Duke Donahue and probably Patsy Saverine. This past season of basketball saw a new coach come on to the gym floor to teach our basketeers a few pointers here and there. We speak of a Salem State Teachers' College grad- uate, Coach Harold L. Shumrak. Two Gun, as he is known to some of the boys, is as well equipped mentally with basket- ball strategy and tactics as any college coach. We know he has taught the boys the meaning of the word Victory and the boys have en- joyed working for him. As every one knows a new sport cut into the headlines at Darien this year, namely, hockey. Although the school has picked up hockey for the first time this year, it won the Fairfield County High School league by not getting beaten once. Before we go on it should be said that this squad did not receive any school ap- propriations and did not have a coach. We take our hats off to a great self-supporting and winning team. Captained by Bill Kirchner, who made goals from all over, and with the capable as- sistance of the Painter brothers, Herb and Drew, these boys really piled up some juicy scores. On the back part of the rink were usually found Wacket Latham and Larry Barker, along with the most necessary man on the squad, Milton Brown, attending the nets in a most suitable and dependable fashion. We hate to say this but we must. On the first string hockey squad are four seniors who will be lost to the squad next year. Among those four is found the high scoring Captain, Bill Kirchner. Along with Bill go one of the Painter tvxlins, Drew, and our two hard hit- ting defense men, Larry Barker and Jack Lath- am. Let's hope the squad has another successful year. That depends upon Herb and Milton. After basketball and hockey die out of the sport headlines, baseball, our national pastime, enters and with it must enter the name of Coach Holahan. Hap has been with the school quite a few years and has shown that he really knows his baseball, or any other sport to be precise. In the last two years Coach Hola- han has not had much equipment to make a ball club, but really will put a good club out onto the field at the cry of Play Ball. This spring out on the diamond came Dick Batesole, our basketball king, at third base along with George Punzelt at first. At second was found Rob Mac Donald, siding with Jimmy Dolan as short. Be- hind the plate Carl Schmidt received from Duke Donahue, our ace pitcher. In the outfield Zeke Mason patrolled right field next to Ralph Lionetti at center and Patsy Saverine in left. joe Vitti GIRLS' SPORTS Our senior girls have been an exceptionally athletic group. Since the time of their entrance as sophomores into the halls of D. H. S. up to the very last days of June, '42, they have shown their versatility in all sports. At hockey, bas- ketball, speedball, badminton, and baseball prac- tices the seniors have been well represented. In competitive games of every type they have put up a good fight and always played according to the code of sportsmanship. The veteran athletes who leave the gym and campus of D. H. S. to go out into the the world and participate in the game of life are Midge Webb, Peggy Callahan, Priscilla Wagner, Josephine Sarni, Marie Mallozzi, Mar- garet Copeland, Marie Jones, Winifred Jones, Phyllis Crabb, Jean Thompson, Eleanor Ash- ley, Doris Cash, and Gloria Sherer. Midge Webb, who was voted the most athletic girl in the class of '42, participated in all sports. However, basketball, baseball. and .badminton are her special likes. She plays a smooth, fast game of badminton and makes a wonderful forward for the basketball team. Midge has received her numerals for athletic ability twice. Peggy. Callahan played in most of the games staged. She likes badminton and basket- ball best of all. Peg received her intramural basketball referee's rating and was usually seen refereeing basketball games. She also has re- ceived her numerals. Another versatile senior is Priscilla Wag- ner. Pris took part in all games and she was a great asset to the senior sports program. She made a most annoying guard in basketball, and became girls' badminton champ of '41. Josephine Sarni and Marie Mallozzi have both received their numerals for their partici- pation in sports. Marie is an excellent-swimmer but while in school enjoyed basketball and bad- minton. Josephine makes a good guard in bas- ketball and an exceptionally good batter in baseball. Margaret Copeland and Phyllis Crabb have always gone out for all the senior teams. Margaret likes playing guard in basketball and enjoys hockey, baseball, and badminton. Phyllis is .a high scoring forward in basketball and plays a good game of badminton. Both girls are good sports and have many times helped change a score in favor of the seniors. Marie and Winifred Jones,...although no blood relationship exists, are certainly sisters when it comes to playing ping-pong. Marie took part in all sports. Winnie seems to like hockey, basketball, and ping-pong best of all. She makes a very good center forward for any hockey team. Winnie also had the honor of being 1941 ping-pong champ. Jean Thompson and Eleanor Ashley have been old faithfuls for the senior teams. Both girls being interested in sports, they always were willing to fill any vacancies on the team. Jean and El like basketball, badminton and ping-pong. Doris Cash and Gloria Sherer are two girls who never went out for sports until their senior year. We all wish they had done this when they were sophomores. They play bad- minton, hockey, baseball, speedball, and basket- ball, making an exceptionally good set up in basketball. Doris is a hard fighting guard and Gloria is a basket cager. Although we did not mention Connie Arthur, Barbara Post, and Frances Driggs, they all played in at least one intramural game. Connie played in the badminton intramurals. Mimi Post and Fran went out for basketball. The senior girls of the class of '42 sincerely thank Miss Berry for the friendly and kind cooperation she has given them. They hope next year's senior class will have 1942's success in girls' sports. Peggy Callahan DRAMATICS The high school dramatic careers of various members of our class started while we were Sophomores. George Frasca and Payne Wil- liams appeared in the assembly play, Apostro- phe in Modern Dress, while Phyllis Crabb made her debut in Proposal Under Difficulties. Our junior year found many more entering the field of dramatics. For the junior play we presented Seven Sisters. This colorful Hun- garian play drew much attention to the ability of its performers. With Valerie Richardson as Mitzi and Tom Tiernan as Horkoy, the lead- ing roles were well taken care of. For the eldest sister, Katinka, we had Lorena Henson with Arthur Neeley playing opposite her as Col. Radviany. The next two sisters were Marie jones as Sari and jean Thompson as Ella, which brings in the romances with Sandorffy, Will Gil- lette, and Gida, Avery Daugherty. The three younger sisters, Liska, Terka, and Klara, were played by Muriel Foye, Katherine Peddle, and Frances Dooley. joyce. Trefry was the frantic mother and George Frasca the servant, janko. For the stuttering cousin we had james Dolan. Altogether the evening of january 31, 1941, proved a great successf We must not forget the work of the business and publicity commit- tees run by Dick Batesole and Eleanor Ashley. During the spring of our junior year the Thespian Play, The Hidden Enemy, was given. Two members of our class, Marie jones and Lorena Henson, added to the success of the play, in which most parts were taken by the senior Thespians. Also, later in the spring, Catherine Lindt, Dorothy Groppe, and Alice St. john took the speaking parts in the Fashion Show. With the coming of the Senior year we decided upon Pride and Prejudice for our class play. In the leading roles were Lorena Henson as Elizabeth and William Gillette as Darcy. For the hysterical Mrs. Bennett we had Winifred jones, and for Mr. Bennett, Edward Steele. Connie Arthur played the loving jane, with Clark Ridgely playing opposite her as Mr. Bingley. Flighty Lydia was played by Valerie Richardson, and Wickham, by james Dolan. For the comical Mr. Collins we had Arthur Neeley and for haughty Lady Catherine, joyce Trefry. The servants' parts were taken by George Frasca as Hill, Frances Dooley as Mag- gie, Eleanor Ashley as Mrs. Lake, and Phyllis Crabb as both the maid and Amelia. The rest of the cast included Virginia Bell as Lady Lucas, Barbara Post as Charlotte, Marie jones as Miss Bingley, Catherine Lindt, as Mrs. Gardiner, Drew Painter as Captain .Denny, and last but not least, john Nees as Fitzwilliam. All the act- ors did their part to make it an outstanding per- formance, as did jean Thompson, the Property and Costumes Manager, and Dick Batesole, the Business Manager. We presented the successful performance of Pride and Prejudice, on Fri- day evening, November 28, 1941. Later on around February and March sev- eral one act plays were presented in assemblies. The seniors taking parts were Barbara Post, Virginia Bell, Eleanor Ashley, Clark Ridgely, and james Dolan. Thespian members directed the plays. Valerie Richardson and Arthur Nee- ley directed Who Gets The Car Tonight, while Lorena Henson directed The Fourth Mrs. Phillips, and two plays given as a benefit for the junior Red Cross. Marie jones did her share in coaching the speaking parts for the Christmas pageant. The Thespian play, Out Of The Frying Pan, seemed a fitting ending for our dramatics. The play was given on Friday evening, March 20, 1942. For our little group of would-be actors we had Dottie, played by jean Thomp- song Kate, played by Marie jones, Marge, by Valerie Richardson, Tony, played by Clark Ridgely, and George by Arthur Neeley. joyce Trefry was the landlady, Mrs. Garnet, while George Frasca did his share as Mr. Coburn, and Phyllis Crabb, played Muriel. For the be- wildered cop we found james Dolan. Several performers in the play, but not in our class-- namely john Magruder, Raymond Busch, and Milton Brown--did excellent jobs. Lorena Hen- son and William Gillette acted as business man- agers. Altogether the play made a great hit, marking the end of our high school dramatics. We leave this school, probably not to be- come great actors or actresses, but to remember the good times and enjoyment we had giving our plays.

I i 9 ,55 March 1942 Dear Graduates, In this letter, written in March for your June Year Book, I am stripping my vocabulary of platitudes. I am making my thoughts practical and clear. In these tempestuous times, we cannot afford to fool ourselves. We must be realistic in planning, and we must be emphatically prompt in action. We must do better work and more work than we have thought possible. We must leave off day-dreaming and concern ourselves with the present and immediate future, showing fortitude and steady application. Many of you are asking, What can I do to help ? There is one answer that has brought opportunity to over 700 Merrill-trained boys and girls since july 1941. That answer is, S-E-R-V-E! These people have been trained in minimum time to give maximum service. Some are working under Civil Service in Washington, some are working in Defense Industries, some are working for private individuals, some are in the Armed Forces. They are secretaries, accountants, Medical assistants, and by the time this is printed, there will be draftsmen,-all trained at Merrill. They are working and earning and contributing toward Winning Thi: War! Merrill is on an all-out program. We are ready to train YOU for maximum efflciency in minimum time. School will be open all summer, with morning, afternoon and evening programs. YOU CAN SERVE! YOUR NATION NEEDS YOUR HELP AS AN INDEPENDENT WORKER! .l.lT-1 There will be years ahead, God willing, when you will have an opportunity to do many things, to try many types of work-when this war has become history and life assumes a calmer mold.
