When you went forth to conquer the world, we stayed miser- ably behind until we found a haven in the pages of this book. For we are the shadows of your former selves. Remember? XVe lived in the turbulent years of the late 30's and early 40's when age-old traditions were being over- turned in the demand for progress and new orders were bring- ing death and destruction to half the world. The draft, Hitler, 3rd term. and national defense were as much a part of our vocabulary as wing-backs, special reports. jitterbugs. and oral themes. W'hile we were sequestered here in Dedham High. we were still aware of the brutal fate of young people in other lands. and of the dark, uncertain future that faced you that graduation night. Remember? XVe lived in the days when an A in algebra sent your spirits soaring and a call to the office set you a-trem- bling. We are the young people you once were. who battled their way through the freshman corridor, passed notes in the 208 study hall, cheered at football games till they were hoarse, and thrilled to the pleasures of their Hrst prom. Have you fogotten us? Then come back through the long years: turn over the pages of this book. We'll meet again. Dedication Mr. Ralph A.

Eaton. has endured our faults. solved our difficulties. and encouraged our industry. A Tribute To Mr. John Anthony. because his career in the Dedham schools has paralleled ours and because with sympathy and kindness he has shared our problems and pleasures. REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM Hiongggsgnooi, -g V j The Ifietetuillty i MORE I IKE FRIENDS THAN TEACHERS Rear row, left to right: Mr. James J. Riley, who has a BA. and Ed.M. degree from Boston College and a very fine voice, says he enjoyed his -II class in descriptive chemistry even though he found no budding geniuses. Mr. Howard Bottomley, who spent the year heckling defenseless 1 FJ Democrats, re- linquished his job as adviser of the senior play ticket committee to help frame the freshman constitution. Miss Doris M. Grant, was mainly concerned with hunting for the missing Mrs. Jernigan and improving the library. Miss Mary Sheehan. a graduate of BU., hasn't had to complain once about room IZZ being cold. Miss Katherine Gahagan filled in a year as secretary of the Ded- ham Teachers' Association. In her spare moments she fought the war. Miss Marion E. Corley, who teaches shorthand and typing, confesses that she spent her leisure hours having a good time. The good-natured adviser of our student council and mentor of our French phonetics, Miss Margaret R. Boynton, had her car stolen but fortunately re- covered it. Miss Olga von Schantz, a Radcliffe graduate, broke all precedents by selecting a three-act play for class day. Mr. Daniel J. Keegan, of the sleek automobiles and subtle humor, again held the reins of the senior play program committee. Mr. Thomas I.eGuern, who annually sends several junior girls quietly insane, acquired a classy Cadillac. Mr. Nicholas DeSalvo undertook the tedious task of filling the hockey rink with ice cubes from his refrigerator. Middle row: Mr. Thomas E. O'Donnell, who coaches basketball and teaches history, married and moved to Dedham. which is enough for any man to do in a year. Mr. Joseph Green, Jr., left Dedham High to do his part for Uncle Sam. Miss Madeline l Latin l Clough and Miss Lucy l Cieometry 1 ,f Q wr 2 8g REELECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHGOL Clough, two of our most patient and sympathetic teachers, devoted this year to building a house. Between the Clough sisters is Miss Mary Sweeney, Sim- mons graduate, who has endeared herself to the hearts of 4E. Miss Helen Woodside, still minus a home room, has kept a passage clear in the senior corri- dor for late students. Miss Mary Weeks has learned to write with her fingers crossed, attempting to drive the jinx away from her bed of Russell Lupins. Miss Laura J. Mclntyre, who received her B.S. from Simmons, boasts that she hasn't had a cold all winter. Knock on wood, Miss Mclntyrel Petite English teacher, Miss Florence E. Murdock, acted as adviser to the class prophecy, Miss Joan Tobin, gym instructor, presided way downstairs. as usual. Miss Rosalie Lyons found time from studying guidance to join a music club under the direc- tion of Miss Ecker. Mr. Joseph H. Ryan, who pulled the shortest straw, went bravely forth to make a front-page story for the Mirror. He came back mar- ried. Mr. James Smith has been gloating ibut nervouslyj over the fact that he holds a low draft number. Mr. Edwin T. Peterson, track coach and chem- istry teacher, has been working on his Ed.M. at B.U. Mr. Thomas M. Yonker, a graduate of Villanova, has sent more pupils to detention this year for snap- ping elastics in the cafeteria than ever before. Front row: Mr. Orlando M. Scafati, assistant coach of football and base- ball, also joined the ranks of the Benedicts. Mr. Fred A. Clark drew the ex- cellent diagrams of D.H.S. for the introductory offer of the Mirror, and also assisted with the drawings for Reflections. Mr. Eliot G. Hall kept his New Year's resolution not to stand on his head on High Street. He is to be com- mended. Miss Marion S. Harding, who organized the new Science Service League, is happy because Reflections is no longer demanding to know teachers' ambitions. Miss Dorothy P. Kendall kept the picture-taking program run- ning on time. A special picture of Principal Ralph A. Eaton is printed on page Eve. Mr. Harold E. Cowan, the assistant principal, did an excellent job as chairman of the senior play tickets. Miss Ruth Baker, adviser of the class history, is working for her M.A. at B.U. Miss Catherine E. Castle, who helped five honor essayists, organized the new debating club. Mr. Hamilton E. Allen, Jr., the newest member of our faculty, teaches civics and in his spare time fences and boxes. Mr. John F. Heaphy coaches football and baseball, and teaches freshman algebra. He allowed a dummy to make a dent in his cranium. Mr. John W. Wallace enjoyed a well-earned rest after having been chairman of the senior advisers for four successive years. Not included in this picture: Mr. Robert W. Gibb, director of the orchestra and band, who has managed to keep his public life private: Miss Harriette Hunting, who has taught Dedham High School girls how many cooks spoil the broth: and Miss Mary E. Sullivan, who taught them how to make the stitch that saves time.

After he takes a post-graduate course he will go to Tufts and become an elec- trical engineer. BERTHA EILEEN APPLEI With Bertie's smile it could be quite easily that the Postal Telegraph Company will wel- come her with open arms. Her favorite pastimes are dancing. talking in Mr. Ryan's classes ltskl tskll. and eating. When she's in charge of things. we hope she'll send Topper a sing- ing telegram that really sings. MARJORIE LOUISE ARMSTRONG Heavens to Betsy? Margie was so startled by our sudden demand to know her plans that she almost missed her basket. Although her destination is un- known. we are sure that with her strong arm lls there a pun- ster in the house?l and steady aim. Margie will shoot her ball into the basket of Success. VINCENT F. ARNOLD Although he is one of our milder boys. Vin nevertheless is one of our busiest. Remember how well he handled practically all the checking at our class dances? After perfecting his already outstanding mathematical and scientific ability at North- eastern. he will become a well- known chemical engineer. ? Gsm- 3 ELEANOR BAILEY Eleanor. our best-dressed girl. will lend her good marks and sports enthusiasm to Oberlin College. where she hopes to meet more teachers like Miss Boynton. After attaining another scholas- tic record. she will eventually get married and settle down. Oh Heavens I though. Eleanor, you'll have to decide between the two gentlemen then. MARTHA BAILEY Having enjoyed teachers. as- semblies. and D. H. S. in gen- eral. Miss Dedham High School is heading in the right direction when she plans to teach in a kindergarten. Oh Lawd! though. Mart. will you still have time for those tricky tennis shots. that smooth dancing. and your swimming? DOROTHY MARCIA BARLOW Dignified Dottie. the beautiful villain of our senior play. is headed for Middlebury College and a career as a buyer. Of her varied accomplishments in Ded- ham High School one stands out triumphant: she retained her usual composure in the face of a barrage of Mr. Bottomley's wit- ticisms. ROBERT L. BEDDIA Bob evidently doesn't like be- ing a stooge to Carlyn. the ma- gician, because he is planning to follow in Mr. Heaphy's foot- steps and be a teacher-coach. Our class politician will then have to spend the rest of his life giving fiery pep talks to his football teams. REELECTIONS OE DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL ll MADELINE BENNETT Madeline's favorite pastime is sleeping until she discovers it's too late to attend school.

BRINDLEY line? KIRK LINWOOD BENSON Anything resembling a car in usable condition. after Ben in- dulges in his hobby of dismem- bering them. is purely uninten- tional. Maybe he'll use the parts to build a tractor to plow the fields to plant the potatoes to earn the money to buy a farm in Islington. ERNESTINE BLAKNEY Is there any connection be- tween Ernie's desire to get mar- ried and her enjoyment of cer- tain letters she gets frequently? After going to the Forsyth Dental maybe our most popular girl can Vv'eidul frightened chilf dren into the dentist's chair. Land sakesT Ernie. you won't see many of those people you like so well in a dentist's oflice. STACIA DORIS BONCEK Stacia claims she enjoyed even her infrequent detention sessions here in D. H. S.. and such a gay and singing lady is she that we're inclined to believe her. Next year she'll do filing work in an ofiice. and shortly after that. smiling work in her own little home. VIRGINIA MARY ANN BOOTH Gabby. whotalksevenfaster- thanthis. confesses that her fa- vorite pastime is flirting! Shes such a deft hand at it and she's so very smooth that the at- tractive boss Who'll he handing her her pay envelope next year will soon be bringing his home to her. XV. ERNEST BOSSELMAN Both during and after his col- lege career. Ernie will keep on studying radio construction. KVe're confident that with the skill he showed in dodging spitf balls during the first recess. he will very soon make his fame wave long over the wave lengths. Thus far Brin's hobby has been keeping up with the Joneses. but when she finishes clerical school. stops listening to gossip, and becomes that rich mans wife. she'll go so far ahead that even Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones xvon't be able to see her dancing heels. RUTH MARILYN BROADHURST Artistic Meg. winner of countless poster contests. has hopes of becoming a commercial artist. Although shell probf ably miss drawing classes and Toppers jokes. no doubt she'll see. do, and hear much at Rhode Island State. N. Y. U.. and Pittsburgh as the most popular person perenniallv paged Io promenade repeatedly. 12 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL RICHARD W. BROVJN He tells us his friends call him Stinky. and we imagine he'll be called even worse things than that when he becomes a dentist and leans too heavily on the drill. I-le'll never lack patients, though: the women will see to that. WILLIAM SILAS BROVJN. JR. Hockey, baseball, ping-pong, and dances-such a variety of interests plus Bill's skill at man- aging should send him out of business school shortly as a pol- ished salesman. capable of sell- ing Manhattan back to the In- dians or collapsible igloos to the Eskimos. RICHARD DAVID BRUNT Dick has seen all there is to see of autos-good. had. and Chevrolets. Now he's casting longing eyes at yachts. You can't pick them up at save- yards. Dick. but keep working hard and you can soon afford an Americas cup defender. This isn't baloney. DONALD A. BURDICK Tell it to Sweenyf' Don will order. Presumably Sweeny will tell Jones, Jones will tell Schultze. Schultze will tell Co- hen-and then all of them will vote for Don. who's going to have politics as completely un- der control as he had those Nor- wood parties. JOSEPH P. BUTLER Hey, fella, whatcha doin'? Bottles will ask next year when he goes about, as an industrious apprentice, learning all there is to know about electrical weld- ing. After he gets the answers. we can count on him to keep our two-ocean navy free from cracks, seams. and unsightly gaps. DONALD SEWARD CAMPBELL Don's paid so many defense- tax pennies at movie theater box offices that now he plans to get some of them back by becom- ing an army officer- what cha know about that? I-Ie'll go to work next year and keep at it till he's saluted. MARION JEANETTE CAMPBELL When it's too warm for ski- ing and too cold for sailing and too early for dancing. Jean will take her own special mixture of wit and beauty to some lucky ofiice. Eventually-well. Lloyds of London. the Gallup poll. and ReHectr'ons all predict she'll make a lovely bride. ANN BURNADETTE CANNATA When she gets tired of listen- ing to the 920 club and danc- ing. Judy's going to spend her time working as a fashion de- signer, and we mean Oh real- ly. When you buy clothes monogramed A B C. you'll know Judy has achieved her am- bition. Keep designing, Judy: you've got the right technique. REELECTIONS OE ADEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 13 JOSEPH CARR Joker is one of our most popular and best natured boys. According to him, Glenn Miller. the 920 Club. and Miss Lyons' study halls are 'Athe nuts. XVe wish him smooth sailing in realizing his ambition of becom- ing an admiral of the navy. PAULINE ELIZABETH CATANZARITI Polly is -lE's fastest and most constant talker, and that covers a lot of territory. We hope she'll get that job as secretary and still be able to dance. listen to the 920 Club, and read the Mirror. She'l1 miss Mr. Ryan's and Mr. Bottomley's classes. though. ANTHONY CATERINA If you hear some one near you say. You're not kidding, you may be sure it's Tony. Next year he'll be a florist, and eventually an admiral. It's cer- tain we can depend on him either to box or swim his way through life with flying colors. saluted all the way. WILLIAM FRANCIS CHAMBERLAIN Honest Bill, the fugitive from a dumb waiter, will probably get a job digging Graves: that is. if he gets tired of being an ora- tor. The president of the photography club ought to be able to make good use of his hobby if he takes his camera to all the athletic events. 'F 3 BARBARA ANNE CHAMBERS Holy catsf Babs. you'll be so busy next year you won't have time to think of puns to spring on others. While you're working as a secretary and studying nights. some one else will take your seat at the hockey games, right behind the Brook- line players. BEATRICE MYRA CHRISTIAN The familiar sight of Bea bouncing into her seat amidst an avalanche of falling books and papers will be banished next year from these hallowed halls to those of the University of New Hampshire. Wherever she goes thereafter. her fine report cards assure us she'll make a first-class teacher. THOMAS RICHARD CLARKE. JR. Clicko's popularity is prob- ably due to his good nature. for he is both our most popular and best-natured boy. We hope our class presidents work will make him a millionaire in a very few years so he can take a good many of those vacations he en- joys so much. MILON HILTON CLUEF We point with pride to the string of A's that have graced Milon's report cards. '4l's sole male honor student wields ping- pong bat or violin bow with equal success. He's bound for Middlebury. and as for his fu- ture beyond that he grins and replies. Only time will tell. 14 REELECTIONS OE DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL LLOYD COHAN Another lad forever in the midst of model plane construe' tion is Sonny, future army air pilot. He will return to D. H. S. next fall for a l'. G. course as .1 stepping stone towards his chosen career. If knowledge of the Hner points of football and swimming are promotion helps. Sonny will soon be a flight com- mander. ROBERT CONLON Bob. our capitalistic communf ist. spends most of his time on the Boston Common shopping for a soap box. When he finds a suitable one. he'll mount it to denounce the Roosevelt admin- istration with great gusto. By the way, he intends to fill in his spare moments as time-keeper on the WPA. XVILLIAM li. CONROY The neverfsay-die spirit that has kept Bill rooting for the Bees all these years is the spirit that will take him from errand boy to executive in whatever business he selects. Make lots of money, Bill-the Bees need a new owner. ELIZABETH COOMBS If in a few years badminton has become the most popular sport aboard trans-Pacific air- liners, don't be surprised to End stewardess Betty showing passen- gers how to do her novelty Holy Cow stroke. For after a stay at Simmons, Betty has airy hopes of becoming an air- line hostess. CHARIES CORNELL When a cheery Hi rounds the corner you may be sure that Charlie, connoisseur of original chemistry experiments and past master at the piano. is some- where within a radius of two miles. If he's as good a com- mercial artist after a course at Mass. Art as he is a jokester. we'll not worry. LAURA COWAN It will be just too bad for the Cowan milkman when Laura en- ters the University of New Hampshire and takes his horse along with her. If she tries any of her chemistry experiments at college, the state will have to raise money to construct new buildings. ANNE CROWE There'll be consternation in the phone company next year when operator Nan forgets her- self and says. Wowie. Daddy! instead of, Excuse it. please. but there'll be rejoicing in Nor- wood when the word gets round that she considers marriage just as attractive as swimming or the 020 Club. JOHN FRANCIS CUFF The BuzZer's just the type for an aviation mechanic. He has that innocent, freshman look that will completely win the confidence of feeble piston rings. and at the same time he's full of more mischief than any ram- bunctious super-charger. We're going to send him our stratolin- ers. REELECTIONS OE DEDHAIXIII HIGH SCHOOL 15 DANIEI. D'ATTII.IO.

Rene's favorite pastime is taking care of chilf dren. Next year she wants to work as a secretary to a boss like Mr. O'Donnell. More pow- er to you. Rene. and sometime in the near future we may find you teaching your own little ones. LEO A. DELAPA There's never a dull moment when D. our class screwball. is on the prowl. He spends his spare time at the movies, learn- int! ways to make classrooms de- lightfully different. When he gets his salesmanship into action next year. he ought to forge right ahead toward that business of his own. LOUIS .IOHN DEMARTINO Iironi football to canoeing. from boxing to proms. Clipper has seen life in all its forms here in Dedham and longs now to travel through the entire country. His charming persona ality and his damselfdazzling smile will make him a universal- lv welcome roving reporter. DOROTHY ELIZABETH DENNIS 'AGollv catsT the worlds all right according to Dot, who professes a love not only for all the teachers and pupils in D. H. S.. but for studying as well. After taking the nursing course at Simmons. she plans to be a hospital supervisor.

VIRGINIA GLORIA DROUIN When Ginny greets her fel- low typists next year with a cheery. Hi. kids. the whole ofhce will become as bright as Mr. Ryan's life when she drops in 109 for an afternoon chat. It won't be long before she mar- ries some one with plenty of money and lives high. wide. and handsome. N CHARLES F. DUNN Jake replies. Don't be crazy. to all remarks about his friends at Onset. If he enter- tains them with his hilarious chowder ballad. it's no wonder they can't forget him. What he hopes to become is still his own secret. but his sense of fun and love of jokes should make his life interesting. FRANCIS JOSEPH DUNNE Known to his intimates as Brains, due. no doubt, to his success as a sports statistician. Francis. though usually modest and quiet, quells the loudest ar- guments with a lusty aw nuts! An ardent hockey play- er and an enthusiastic history student. he looks forward to a career on a newspaper. doing something connected with his be- loved sports. BEATRICE M. DWYER Bea is another of Dedham High's gifts to the business world. Smooth is the way she would describe the position she hopes to get as a private secre- tarv. If a perfect secretary makes a perfect wife. then Bea won't be working for long. MARGARET EARLY When Peggy says. Listen, you can expect a long disserta- tion on the merits of the New Deal. Her political views may conflict with Mr. Bottomley's. but that hasn't prevented her from enjoying his classes. When she becomes a second Dorothy Thompson. she will spend her time campaigning to make Lois Hrst lady of the land.

DORIS GELINEAU Take a number from one to ten. croons Red as she con- templates a career as a telephone operator. We hope she won't have to give up her guitar play- ing and her singing when she begins making connections. Her talents should soothe the nerves of her harassed co-workers. FRANK PETER GERULSKIS Some day Frank will use his memories of happy study halls in 208 as the basis for a series of cartoons on school life. All the big papers will buy them. every one will admire them, and Frank indeed will have every- thing under control. PAUL W. GLASER Mouse. our chemistry shark. pursues a hobby of model air- plane building with an eye to- ward a future career in aeronau- tical engineering. His favorite ex- pression is an ingeniously con- structed hieroglyphic whose pro- nunciation we hesitate to di- vulge. He will return next year because he loves getting out of school at 1:15. WILLIAM CLIFFORD HAGGIS Bill's interest ranges over the whole field of mechanics to settle finally on airplanes and photography. His love for phys- ics and geometry should certainly -in times like these-get him the 51340-a-week job he's set on Our future aviator will specialize in night flying. no doubt. CLARICE HAIGH Clarice's love for literature as well as her tiny script will en- able her to write the history of the United States on the head of a pin and dedicate it to Mr. Bot- tomley.

Ertiaxoia Baxter ls graduation merely a ceremony that has become a habit. or does it still retain a meaning for us, the graduates of '-ll? For some, a small minority, it means simply relief from the demands of lessons and teachers. But. for most of us, it has a deeper meaning, one of hope and promise, intermingled with sad- ness at leaving our Alma Mater. UFor we are become men, we have put away childish things. Graduation signifies progress, advancement. Before us lies our future. looming uncertainly and dimmed by the veil that only time can lift. Generally, graduation opens before us two roads, upon one of which we must immediately embark-continuing our student life, or joining the milling throng of workers. ln choosing either course. our choice puts to its supreme test all that we have learned before, all that has led up to this turning point in our lives-our upbringing since childhood: our friendships: our high school courses: our teachers' patient labors: and finally our own personal worth, the morals and ideals that have been forming through the years. Our future success cannot be reckoned now: it must wait until fifteen, twenty-five. or even fifty years have passed and all the returns are in. For in those years, we shall not stand still. Some of us will attain our goal through years of patient effort. Cthers will forge ahead and arrive swiftly at the pin- nacle of success. Some will sink slowly into ruin, Hghting still toward better things. Others will crash suddenly deep into disaster, with all their visions and high aims shattered. Flihis is inevitable, human nature being as it is. Nevertheless. whatever our future shall be, we all have had equal oppor- tunities to absorb precious knowledge and prepare ourselves. We can face our future bravely with a broadened horizon, with some understanding of the past and present. and an idea of what to expect in the future. ti tl i i I Ql REFLECTIONS OF DIQDI-IAM HTQH SCHOOL -H WHAT IS PATRIOTISM? PAULINE CATANZARITI If you should ask an ordinary citizen what patriotism is, the chances are his answer would be, the loyalty a person holds for his country. ln my opinion, the word means much more than that. lt means the self-sacrifices and the hardships that may be demanded in service of his country. putting his coun- try's welfare and honor above self. On no occasion in our history was this word more fully illustrated than in 1775, when the staunch supporters of liberty won independence for the thir- teen colonies. The toil endured by these men in order to win liberty for them- selves and their posterity was indeed discouraging. Yet they persevered without one thought of giving up. All that concerned them was the freedom of their countrymen, their children. and their childrens children. They didn't con- template the risks to their own property, security, and lives, During this period, Nathan Hale, one of the greatest patriots of all time, was apprehended by British authorities and hanged as a spy. We recall the last words uttered by this great man: My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country. This was an act of true patriotism. If our citizens today have the spirit of Nathan Hale, we have little occasion to fear for our country either the ex- ternal or the internal forces of evil. Tragically. there are in this land certain elements who are doing all in their power to disrupt our democracy. Patriotism today imbues the great majority of our young draftees who have given up jobs and friends for a year, so that they may be prepared should Uncle Sam need them. May the same spirit fill those left at their desks and workbenches, in factory, shop, and office. May we all follow the example set forth by these young men and co-operate with our great Uncle, to the end that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. WHAT IS SUCCESS? BEATRICE CHRISTIAN Four different meanings are given to the word success . The first is from God himself: that any person who has lived honestly and helpfully and has respected the rights of others has lived a successful life. Such a one not only is blessed, but he receives a calmness of soul reserved for those who live within the covenants of the Bible. The Devil holds the second criterion of success. I-le rejoices if there is a shadow on a man's claim to position, fame, or wealth. He takes particular de- light in riches gained by trickery and power wielded by deceit, and terms the selfish and unscrupulous successful. But the Devil is a notoriously bad judge and a hard bargainer. Those who listen to him must end by selling their souls. The people call successful any who have earned a fortune or have become well-known. They care very little whether the money was acquired honestly or dishonestly. Money is the means of pleasure to them: fame is acknowledg- ment of superiority. I-lowever. the opinion of the people is a fickle thing, in- fluenced by outward appearances. Anyone who puts faith in public opinion is certain to be misled. 44 REPLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL But an individual may consider himself a failure even if he is rich, power- ful, or noted. He may have had some other goal, or have cherished some secret hopes of which the fulfillment of the smallest would constitute to him a life well-spent, a successful life. His goal, his hopes determine the value of life. Only their realization can satisfy him. However, no man can decide whether he himself is successful: no man can say whether another is successful. Human judgment is fallible. The insight of the individual is clouded either by his conceit, by partial knowledge, or by misunderstanding. God alone knows everything. It is He who has the power to pronounce the last judgment. He hath prepared His throne for judg- ment. And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judg- ment to the people in uprightnessf' A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES GE 1941 M1LoN CLUFP We, the graduating class of 1941, are going forth into an unstable, fren- zied, terrifying world, a world dominated for the most part by the harsh wills of a few unbalanced, power-mad individuals whose very existence directly men- aces us all. We cannot happily anticipate our immediate independence, we cannot be confident of security and success. But while admitting the extreme difliculty, we certainly do not admit the impossibility of success. It is at least attainable, but only through strong de- termination and most thorough preparation. Many of us within the next few months will be seeking jobs. While filling them, we will create two distinct records, a record of our work, and also one of our character. Only by keeping each spotless can any degree of success be reached. This will not be easy, for the business world judges sternly and impartially. The demands upon us will be great. To meet them will require our best efforts. And putting forward our best will be more arduous than we may imagine, for many factors enter. Summed up, these factors represent self-knowledge: knowledge of our prin- ciples, what we believe and do not believe: knowledge of our strong points, what we can do best and what is not within our ability: knowledge of what our goal is to be. All of us. striving to reach the top, must have a goal. some- thing toward which we can direct our energy and zeal. lt is futile to aim in the darkness and to expect by some stroke of fortune to hit a mark. Others of us next fall will be going on to more advanced schools, For those the same principles apply. Granted, they will have more time to decide what their convictions are, what their goals are to be. but this time spent at college will serve only as a reprieve from the realities of life. Sooner or later all of us will be facing the same grim conditions. The degree of success for each one from then on will depend solely upon himself. A MESSAGE TO THE POLITICIANS OE AMERICA MARGARET EARLY We long since ceased to call you statesmen. We sneeringly brand even the best, politicians. We identify all too many of you with that' prosperous, over- fed individual of the cartoons clutching a money bag in one hand and a scepter of power in the other. And who can blame us? For how many times have i i 'ir 'si ll it li 'I 1 i 51 1 li il J il 1 ll 'r i. il 'u is -2 'I i fi ll ii I v i I l l lli 1 ! li Ii l l .41 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 45 we seen you use public ofHce to further private aims, to swell your bank ac- counts? But then. who can blame you? You see us as naught but the simple taxpayers who grant your plum and then forget you in the urgency of earning our daily bread. Oh, sometimes between elections we are sharply reminded of your existence when the morning papers scream forth that you've absconded with the public funds. Then we shake our heads regretfully and wish we'd voted for the other fellow. Yes, the other fellow might have glanced occasionally at the motto hang- ing over his desk. A Public Oflice is a Public Trust. He might have re- membered a few of his campaign pledges, labored to remedy the ills of democracy, and to uphold its virtues. He might have spurned the demands of unscrupulous supporters for a share in the easy money. Once elected he might have for- gotten that he was a Republican or a Democrat and become a Patriot. He might even have proved one of those altruistic. courageous men who have no lust for personal glory but only a sincere desire to promote the welfare of his country. My duty. this true servant of the people would say. is not to assure my re-election. but. ignoring the pressure of narrow, prejudiced, sectional in- terests. to act conscientiously and with foresight for the good of the nation as a whole. To those of you who do resist the temptations to advance your fortune at the public expense. to gain elections by catering to the ignorant, the fanatic. and the class conscious, who speak out boldly and labor unceasingly, we pay this tribute: You are no longer politicians but statesmen. A MESSAGE TO ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS FLORENCE MARIANA What is a citizen? A native of a state or city: a freeman: a member of a state or nation who enjoys political rights and privileges. But a citizen is not always a Good Citizen. In the final words of the definition lies the key to the right kind of citizenship, Privileges! for instance-the right to vote, to hold public ofiice, to have a voice in government, and to receive pro- tection in the courts. You and I know that the average citizen doesn't appreciate these privileges. A good example is seen at election time. Some people don't bother to go to the polls: half of those who do, exercise their privilege unintelligently. Placing a cross next a man's name because of his popularity, oratorical gifts, or for partisan reasons is shockingly prevalent. If we fully realized how precious this right would seem should we lose it, we would take the trouble to become informed concerning the candidates, then vote for merit and no other reason. We would treasure our legal safeguards if we contemplated the complete destruction of all individual justice in countries under the control of dictators. Voting isn't merely a privilege, but one of the duties of a good citizen. The entire welfare of the town, the prosperity of the state, the honor of the nation depends upon every individual. A good citizen gives thought to com- munity needs. he takes time to keep informed on public affairs. to ponder the issues of the day. The good citizen doesn't shirk service on unpaid committees and is glad to sit on juries, in spite of business interruption. He sacrifices home ties to serve in national defense and if able surrenders a lucrative position to be- come a dollar-a-year man in Washington. -G6 REFLECTIGNS OP DEDHAM HIC1H SCHOOL Think for a second. Are you a Good American Citizen? This is not a cross-examination: but the message I am trying to convey to you is that a good citizen uses his intelligence, feels deep concern, and exercises his initiative for the true good of all. WHAT IS LIBERTY? RUTH PUFF Une of the strongest emotions in the hearts of mankind is the love of liberty. In its cause men have left the land of their birth to suffer untold hard- ships in a foreign land: they have fought bloody wars in their fierce determina- tion to be free from oppression. We in the United States can be proud that our country is regarded as a haven by the oppressed of all nations. Many of us need look back only a generation or two. to find that our ancestors sought here the freedom to make for themselves and their families a happier life than they could in their own country. The United States Constitution declares no religious test shall be required as a qualification to any office or public trust in the federal government. Liberty of the press and freedom of assembly are privileges which many other nations do not tolerate. In the harbor of New York stands the colossal Statue of Lib- erty, presented by the people of France to America in l886. This statue has been an inspiration to thousands who have visited these shores for the first time. Its upheld torch is a symbol that true liberty can be obtained only by enlighten- ment in all things. Liberty, however, is something which cannot be permanently achieved. for as new tyrannies arise. each generation must light for its own freedom. Eternal vigilance is necessary to guard against all unfriendly forces which may seek to undermine our liberty. True liberty must always take into consideration the rights of others. Too often people fail to realize this. When our ideas con- flict with those of others, we must compromise, and do what is best for the greatest number. Every student of American history is familiar with the fiery speech of Patrick Henry in the First Continental Congress in which he said: I know not what course others may take: but as for me. give me liberty, or give me death! A MESSAGE TO THE PARENTS OE AMERICA TODAY LENORA RIMELMAN Someone once said that up to the age of seven the child's mind is receptive to ideas and attitudes to such an extent that the rest of his life is largely deter- mined by those early experiences. You parents, by instilling in children the idea that they must respect others even when not agreeing with them, will be rewarded by children who can live happily and successfully in a world of people all differing in ideas and behavior. Without tolerance, suspicion. fear, and hatred, followed by confiict, will result. Perhaps the greatest single need in life today is such tolerance toward peo- ple and things, forbearance with reference to views, opinions, or actions with which one is not fully in sympathy. War most often results from the failure on one or both sides to understand and respect the rights of others. A democratic form of government encourages tolerance in the hearts of its citizens because it gives all the people freedom of speech and press. No one REELECTIONS OE DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 47 party can suppress in any way those in opposition to them: no one group can silence a rival group. In order to uphold Democracy we must preserve Toler- ance. Legally, even the intolerant may take advantage of the very rights he would perhaps destroy for all except those who agree with him. But we must not confuse legal right with moral right. In our hearts we can condemn the con- scious traitor who preaches religious and racial hatred, seeks to stir up resent- ment against others because of ancient grievances, and misrepresents present issues. Such a person works for the success of regimes whose basic principle is the extermination of everyone and everything that does not slavishly conform. Plant love of tolerance in the hearts of your children, yes, but plant beside it an equally sturdy hatred of intolerance, so that all the false arguments, the appeals to prejudice, the unfair abuse, the discrediting of democracy may prove to be just so much idle breath, laughed at, despised by all true sons and daugh- ters of America. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SOLDIERS OE AMERICA ARLINE RIPLEY To you, the thousands of men in the military service of our country, the people of America pledge their heartfelt gratitude and allegiance. We may say, and we may say with proud conviction that we have an army and navy of loyal. determined men, alert and prepared to keep their homeland and its citizens untouched by the tyranny of the barbarism which foreign dictators would force upon us. Yes, we know that you are loyal, determined, alert, and prepared: loyal to the ideals of a democratic way of life, and loyal to this form of government which the founding fathers established to embody these ideals: determined that the clutches of totalitarianism shall never extinguish the light of liberty in our land: alert and prepared to crush treachery from within, and to resist invasion from without. As President Roosevelt said in his address to the nation on March 15, there is a vast difference between obedience and loyalty. Obedience may be obtained by threat or coercion. It may be grudgingly given, and if so, will turn quickly to absolute rebellion when the reins of force are relaxed. But loyalty implies something greater, a deep devotion rooted in mind and heart. Relying on itself alone, it will resist all abuse and attack. And it is such loyalty that we expect of you, the American men in uniform, from the most seasoned vet- eran to the newest recruit. A great task is laid upon you now, but I shall not try to particularize, or point out the difficulties which we all realize lie ahead. In such men as you, who have left colleges, jobs. and comfortable homes to become the defenders of America, we place our trust, firm in the belief that you. as well as we, are de- termined that government of the people, for the people, by the people, shall not perish from the earth. WHAT IS EDUCATION? Lois WATSON Education is a broad term, which includes all we absorb from birth to death tending toward the development of our powers and faculties, either by a system of study and discipline or by the experiences of life. This is contrary 48 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL to the popular conception that education takes place only in the school and is wholly concerned with either technical or cultural subjects. The latter con- ception is true only to a certain extent. School, of course, is a very important medium of education, both in dis- pensing knowledge derived from books and in preparing students to face the problems of life capably. Our educational institutions and our teachers en- deavor to make students self-reliant by letting them govern themselves through their school activities. This practical experience enables the students to become accustomed to the work of organization and the formulation and expression of their own opinions, thus developing the qualities of independence and determina- tion so essential to success. However, schools do not bear the whole burden of education. We are constantly discovering new ideas and having new experiences which aid tremen- dously in broadening the mind. Our contacts with other people develop our understanding and tolerance and give us a greater insight into human nature. Travel, reading, motion pictures, radio-all these expand the field of our in- terests and supplement the training given in schools. As a result of these means of education. certain standards and basic principles are established which guide our taste and judgment so we shall know the good from the bad, the true from the illogical, and the important from the trivial. The process of education is continuous and unceasing. It cannot be nar- rowed down to only one period of our life, for the word 'iliving is practically synonymous with education. We cannot live without having our mental pow- ers developed. Don't make the mistake of thinking that education is simply the twelve, sixteen, or even eighteen years spent in school or college, for that is education in its narrowest sense. ..a 'J . REELECTIONS OE DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 49 Class History By BEATRICE CHRISTIAN and IJOIS WATSON Read by FLORENCE MARIANA The Wide, Wide World September 13, 1947 DEAR CLASS OE 1951, We have just received our copy of the old home town paper, The Dedham Transcript. On the front page was the story of your entrance into Dedham High School, which brought back fond memories of our own four years at our beloved Alma Mater. It was just ten years ago that we timidly entered D.H.S.. so naturally we are interested in you. We hope you won't mind if we reminisce a bit and give you a little sage advice on how to get the most out of your four years at high school. You see, we've learned a great deal since we left the sheltering walls of Dedham High to face the world, and we would like to have you profit by our experience. We want you to realize that the only way you can get the full benefit of high school life is to take part in extra-curricular activities. It will mean more work, but you'll love it. We were as frightened when we entered Dedham High as you are now- and with just reason. Don't think that you're the only ones who ever sat down in 208 only to find the seats not there, much to the amusement of the upper classmen. Yes, we did it, too. Our enrollment was large-274 to be exact-but unhappily a few members of the class got lost along the way-some going to the new Westwood High School and some out into the world: thus there were only about 180 at graduation. We soon distinguished ourselves by our orderly class meetings under President Marjorie Tripp. They were the envy of the upper classes and the pride of the faculty. Our other freshman of- ficers were Ernestine Blakney, vice-president: Doris McCann, secretary: Kenneth O'Neil, treasurer. The longer we reminisce the more we envy you. just starting those four happy years that are so far behind us. You have the benefit of the hockey rink and tennis court, while our poor hockey team had to practice at the arena, and we had to play tennis on the Community courts. The plan for a hockey rink was first suggested during our sophomore year. That rink was a standing joke around Dedham High until it was finished, too late for us to enjoy it. In our sophomore class elections Arline Ripley, secretary, was the only newcomer. The next year, however, we made radical changes in the per- sonnel. Thomas Clarke, our Veteran candidate, was at last rewarded with the presidency: Mickey McGuire with the vice-presidency: Ernestine Blakney, our most popular girl, with the secretaryship: and Ted Tully with the job of treasu- rer. The same officers guided our affairs during our senior year. Do you still publish the Mirror? We hope you have more money for pictures than we. What a time the juniors on the staff had when they tried to put the Mirror to bed while Mr. Ryan was absent. Their success really was an accomplishment. After publishing a free ten-page issue on the first day of our senior year, Editor Lois Watson and Associate Editor Margaret Early spent the rest of the year worrying about how to pay for it. As you probably know, the Mirror's presidential poll was an accurate forecast of the 1940 election- thanks to a couple of ward-heelers on the staff. 50 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL We know how much you'll be looking forward to your junior and senior proms. Take our advice, however, and don't have your senior prom on the night of a hockey game as we did. Qur junior prom was in a tropical setting suited to the hot evening, and our Valentines Day senior prom was held amid cupids and hearts. Those were the good old days. The most noteworthy event of our senior year was our successful play. The Mystery at Greenfingers. in which Grace Volmer, backed by a talented cast. turned to character acting. Of course, we had athletic ability as well as dramatic talent. Our foot- ball team was defeated only once, and Bob Kimball won the trophy for the most valuable player. Ed Robbins, our hockey team's star goalie, played for the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey League All-Stars. We hope you still have the Boston Herald Spelling Bee and the school essay contests. Lois Watson was our class spelling champion freshman, junior, and senior years: and Arline Ripley, sophomore year. Both girls participated in the finals. The essay contests gave us an opportunity to express our literary tal- ents. Charles Cornell was our freshman winner: Ernestine Blakney, sopho- more: Laura Cowan, junior: Arline Ripley and Lois Watson, seniors. You can see we did find time for scholastic as well as social activities. We hope you'll distinguish yourselves academically, too. If ever Carlyn, the magician, comes to Dedham High, beware! You should have seen what he did to Bob Beddia. We're still laughing about the time he pulled the corset from under Beddia's coat. Bob's face was as red as the blouses so many of the girls in the audience were wearing. Forgive us if we seem to ramble on. but some day you'll discover that high school memories are pleasant to dwell on. All good wishes from THE CLASS GF 1941. RgEH.gEgQiFlONS QF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 51 Class Prophecy CHARLES CORNELI-. assisted by RUTH Puiltl and MAR.JoR1E TRIPP Read by EDMUND TULLY Let us take you with us to an exclusive interview with a noted psychic, who will reveal to us what has become of the unusually fine members of the Class of '-ll after ten long years. How surprised you'll bel Y Y Out in the woolly West where the wild cattle grow, Laura Cowan and Grace Volmer run the famous Mouse-Ear Ranch where Jake Dunn and the no- torious Peterson Cut-ups furnish much trigger play for the sharp-shooting, peace- loving couple. G-Men Mickey McGuire and Beaman Kimball have all they can do to tame the rascals with their six-shot water pistols. What really stirs up the dust though. is the disappearance of Florence Marianas sporty con- vertible coupe. The car's disappearance stranded Florence's dance group, in- cluding not only Julia Police, Dot Miner, Dot Payne, and Jean Campbell, but also talent scouts Clarice I-laigh, and Mary Dorr. Finally, Dot Sweet and her social service workers, Bertha Applei and Ginny Drouin, had to be called to transport them back to civilization. Maggie McCallum, Gerry Mathis, and Evelyn Newman are busily engaged running a spider farm out West next to the Mouse-Ear Ranch. According to the latest scientific facts, Evelyn Tucker will be able to use the spider threads in the manufacture of lenses for eyeglasses. Ray Will's truck business, of course, will boom when the orders pile up for the new farm material. With million- aires Herbie Jones and Johnny Lynch backing this, it ought to be a huge suc- cess. Johnny Lynch's private secretary Ruthie Puff and Jones' secretary Muriel Johnston declared in a recent interview that working for a glass company isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Dick Smith, following out his ambition, is now working on a new plastic for impressive false teeth. Working with Professor Smith is Mary Hannon, who should go far in this laboratory work. Actual tests have shown that Mary takes a perfect 36 plate. Richard J. Brown in his dental work appreciates his eflicient dental hygienist Leni Rimelman and enjoys Barbara Johnson as his sec- retary. According to the reports of Frank Pearson, inspector for the Neas-Edmands Flying Company. Bill Smith, Peewee Wolloff, and Bill McSeveney are flying planes designed by Ed Robbins and Earl McNevin and put together by Enrico Ranaldi, Tom Donovan, and Joe Butler. On a recent flight Betty Coombs, the wispy airline stewardess, was serving Roy Gass, the president of the Freeman Airlines, one of Peter Overko's soft drinks. fl-le's the one who wanted a soft job.J Everything went line until Gass gave out and the plane floated down onto one of Farmer Benson's air-conditioned hen coops. ln eggs-actly five minutes, Flash Ripley sped up in her 2-cylinder Fraser modeled ambulance recently purchased from the Brown-Nesbitt Truck concern. But before she could rush the suffering patients to the Lizio Veterinary Hospital. Miss Ripley and her assistants Mary Walsh and Dot Voight submitted various poses to the Westhaver Times edited by E. Tully. Out rushed reporters Frannie Dunne, Warren Titus, and Louis Di Martino to get the scoop of the year. So well did they do their job that they kept Scampoli's and Conlon's presses rolling far into the night. Photographers Patchin and Sorby took movies of Ginny Mil- roy and Winnie Leonard, chief stretcher-bearers, as they whisked their fortu- nate victims into the slaughter-bus and whizzed off to the hospital. But it 52 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL was Scoop Walker who took the prize with his picture of nurses Dorothy Man- na, Margie Armstrong, Catherine Finley, and Iona Wiley greeting the victims with various second-aid materials. Just the week before. Supervisor Dot Dennis of this same hospital found it necessary to call in criminologist Helen Oberlander and super-sleuth Jeanne Quinlan to discover the mystery in Midge Tripp's baby department-namely, who made the babies rattle! While the mystery was being cleared up, Leo Pike and Al Hermanson, heavily laden, stumbled up to receptionist Ruth Lewis. After convincing her that they were harmless, they staggered into the office where they tried to get secretaries Louise Rocha, Anna Janulis, Stacia Boncek, and Polly Catanzariti to buy Underwoods which were just their types While they were talking the faint clang of the telephone interrupted and Doris Gelineau, the telephone operator, sweetly purred, Long distance for Pike-speak. It was the Imbaro-Nelson firm calling the salesmen back to the Flanagan-McCarty De- partment Store to put in a bid for a large order. lThis is the store where fashion-wise Eleanor Bailey is buying her trousseau, bought exclusively for the store by Dot Barlow, designed in the Paris manner by Ann Cannata. Her hair is to be coiffured by Joan Shepherd and Rosemary Monahan. Bill Conroy, the personnel director, certainly knew how to choose the assistants for business man- ager Johnny Allegro.j Three blocks down from the Seabury 26 Whitty Shipbuilding Concern, Joe Carr and Tony Caterina in the full regalia of the Navy are demonstrating wind- up speed boats, designed by Lois Pilling, in the most efficient manner. Million- aire Tommy Clarke has just bought up two of the snappiest models so that Ar- thur Reinhardt and Mary Lazzeri may travel in perfect comfort. Perhaps they will decide to travel by air with Lloyd Cohan and Bill Haggis in their Army plane. If they do, Dick Brunt, Eric Pearson, Tom Morrissey, and Bill Hassen- fuss will go along to tighten up any loose screws or hunt up missing parts. What fun they'll have waving to Carline DiProf1o, who in her role of angel, and Milon Cluff, who having sawed his way to fame with his fiddle, are sit- ting on a near-by cloud bank. At Joe Hann's night club the other night, Burdick, the politician, took it upon himself to have Bill Chamberlain rattle out his campaign speech right in the middle of Olive Johnsen's, Gloria Tomassetti's and Anne Crowe's trick- iest number originated in the Alma Moritz Dance Studio. So many night club- bers left that Jimmy Olson, the orchestra leader, had to send Charlie Temple out with the traps to drum up trade. This left Oscar Knight to go on a toot of his own. John Cuff. one of the firm of Cuff, Rough. and Stuff. lawyers, is now working on his tenth case defending Mucciaccio and ladonisi, the professional boxers who forgot themselves and continued their occupations outside the ring. Cuffs private secretary, Lois Watson, is helping him with the case. Working in the stenographic department are Virginia Payne, Barbara Chambers, Ruth Brindley. and Margaret McGrath. Following out her early ambitions, Mart Bailey is now busy in the day nursery section of the Vincent Arnold School, where Johnny Spitz teaches the kiddies to play bean bags and Beddia keeps himself busy on the football field. B. Christians English Department is also prospering. Jeanne Rogers, Marilyn Broadhurst, and Charlie Cornell are heads of the super art department, and have as their models Barbara Putnam, Jane Farrell, Eleanor Elliott, Christine Whit- aker, and also Jean Podolske. who heroically gave up her trolley car conductor's career for her present modeling profession. 1 The Army these days is very fortunate in having in its ranks Donald Campbell, Leo Vacarro, the De Falco brothers, Richy Brown, Frannie Pasionek, REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL 53 and Elio Mattozzi. How lucky they are to have Ernie 'AWeidul Blakney, Beatrice Dwyer, Madeline Bennett, Irene DeEelice, and Lucy DePastene as camp hostesses. Martha Meckel and Shirley Weber act as excellent chief nurses at the camp under Bob Luke, the camp doctor, who is much in demand by the crew of hostessesl The boys in their spare time read the Lonely Hearts Col- umn, written and presented by Peggy Early in a truly journalistic manner. Leading the business men's world these days, we find Leo Delaapa and Dan D'Attilio trying to make ends meet in the pretzel business. The intricate electric pretzel machinery is kept intact by the careful checking and rechecking of Joe Sawyer and Johnny Taylor. Even in such a trying business, the books are always in order because of A. DiBattista's and Rose Toti's and Rhoda O'Neil's combined efforts. Jane Norwell is also kept busy in the Hayward Mills, where in one way or another she spends most of her time as secretary. At the head of the advertising business for the numerous lumber products, we find D. D. Sullivan, with Florence Gallo as his business manager. Frank Ger- luskis' advertisements in current newspapers and magazines have led Paul Glaser to use only the Hayward Products in the construction of his model planes. Speaking of big business, Bill Melnichek, the explorer, is out on an ex- pedition to find the sand-box in which Sarro finds so much pleasure digging as a member of the W. P. A. Such a feat would prove excellent material for Ernie Bosselman in his latest superman funny book. Who would have thought Ernie would have continued the brilliant work he started as a senior at Dedham High! Since B. Sukowske, McNamara, and Stan Jordan have opened a new business of superman's own breakfast food, pitcher Chan Schmalz finds that his curved balls will finally reach home plate after just one bowl of the super- sop. Doris Peterson, Ginny Booth, Audrey Ziegler, Corlyse Hazard, and Peg Schultz can be found demonstrating the amazing effects of this food. Our time is up, and because we do not want to be charged extra, we will leave, hoping that we have brought you an enlightening revelation of the -:lass of '41 ten years hence!

REPLECTIONS OF DEIDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Class Poem A DIALOGUE By JAMEs OLSON A cheerful day is ending. and long shadows fill The Valley of the Past, while on a lonely hill Two figures walk: Immortal Time, gaunt, grim, and steady: And Youth, head high and shoulders square, pale, proud, and ready- Yet sorely tempted now to linger here instead, Rather than stride along the pathway straight ahead. Youth O Time, my host, you have just taken Four happy years away from me- Years irresponsible and gay- And now they say to me I'm free. I'm free to travel the highway of life, To follow the caravan, join the strife. Time Yes. my son, of your seven ages You have passed the first two, easiest acts, And now you ponder of future stages. Reflect as you see me checking your score, But be not downcast, neither fear me not, For, Youth, all yours is the vast tomorrow! Linger not in the past: the joys once sought Remembered and clung to can only bring sorrow. Youth Father, I see your outstretched hand: You point the way to a bitter land. I hear harsh voices that mock my own: There conflicts surge and great mills drone. But I'll not delay nor bargain to stay: Regret in my heart shall not hinder my way. There'll be hardship and danger as I go on, But what's done is done, and what's gone is gone. Time In life's drama, O Youth, as you take up your part, This guide for your acting lock fast in your heart: Think of the Past as in the past: Keep step with Time, until the last: Watch others lest you or they should stray Forget not success is a long, hard way: And when the play's done, the seven acts carried through. Once again, O Youth, we've a rendezvous. REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Class Song ONWARD lVords and music by CHARLES T. CORNELL We look ahead to seek our place On life's well trodden way.

B. Priestley? Eirst English play ever produced by a senior class, you know, and it was ripping. The scene was laid in the Greeniingers Hotel, in the English midlands, dur- ing a howling snowstorm which had cut off all telephone communications. Beastly weather! Warren Titus, the voice from the set, said it was the worst storm in fifty-six years. Gathered there to open the hotel were Keith Henley, the assistant manager, played by James Olson: beautiful Helen Tennant, the social hostess, portrayed by Dorothy Barlow: Anthony Gaterina's Arnold Jor- dan. the gloomy chef: Mrs. Rose Heaton. the staff manageress, played by Mar- jorie Tripp: and Jean Campbells Edna Sanders. a pretty, witty bookkeeper. There were also a couple of maids, Sally and Clara, mainly interested in matri- mony. played by Virginia Booth and Eleanor Bailey, respectively. as well as Fred. the bartender, whose part was taken by Philip Imbaro. A daft bellhop, Boots tGharles Templel added a farcial humor to the mystery.

Back raw: Francis DeFalco, Thomas Donovan, Edward Robbins, Chester Gillis, Charles Cornell, As this copy goes to press, the senior class is preparing to smash all prece- dents by producing a live-act comedy, Sheridan's classic, The Rivals, for their annual class day program. Set in a fashionable English resort, the comedy satirizes the affected and sophisticated leisure class of the late 18th century. Rehearsals, which are under the direction of Miss Olga von Schantz, keep the cast busy far into the evening. Mary Hannon is seen as the beauteous and romantic Lydia Languish in love with dashing Captain Jack Absolute whose role is being studied by Chester Gillis. Arline Ripley is having consid- erable trouble forgetting her correct English, but it is expected that she will soon be able to play Mrs. Malaprop convincingly. Tom Donovan daily fusses and fumes as he rehearses the role of dictatorial Sir Anthony Abso1ute, while Ed Robbins as Faulkland is having fun paying court to Martha Bailey's Julia Bill Chamberlain can be found in the freshman corridor practising Bob Acres' amusing epithets on stray underclassmen. Sir Lucius O'Trig- ger's role is being studied by Francis Flanagan and Laura Cowan is declaiming Lucy's speeches in odd corners of the building. Others rehearsing smaller roles are Charles Cornell as Fag, Vincent Ar- nold as David, Francis De Falco as Thomas and Michael Scampoli as a boy. ' All indications seem to point to a lavish and successful production, but it is unsafe for anyone except Hitler to make predictions these days.

The publication of a free, introductory ten-page issue started the 19-ll Mirror off with a bang. Editor Lois Watson developed the highly popular Personality Parade, publicizing the private lives of such celebrities as football captains and history teachers. Arline Ripley continued with dazzling success her Odds and Ends of poems and witticisms. She is still receiving fan mail for that heart-rending epic A Maidens Woes by Dne Who Knows. Associate Editor Margaret Early fthe traitorl contributed high school news to the Dedham Transcript. News Editor Ted Tully, assisted by Clare McCarty. flavored his very com- plete assignments with choice remarks. Sports Editor Channy Schmalz re- ceived the Ryan Reliability Medal for his invaluable contributions to page four. while Grace Volmer did her best work as Alumni Editor. Miss Vvlatson, also Business Manager, who is a student of the New Deal School of Finance, endeavored to balance the budget, greatly aided by Alice Burke, who brought home the bacon in the form of ads. The circulation de- partment just circulated and the dime they collected is in Mr. Ryan's middle drawer. The brilliantly sarcastic editorials of Cowan and Cornell and the enlight- ening quizzes of Gerry Mathis marked page two. Ernestine Blakney, alias Thomas the Termite, retained her popularity in spite of her bad habit of eaves- dropping, while Doris Peterson handled the exchange department, Virginia Drouin read copy and Mary Dorr wrestled with headlines. The only reason why the Mirror has not yet received any awards is the tie-up in the mail. The Editor is using her influence with E, D. R. to untangle the mix-up.

As usual our student council, with Miss Margaret Boynton as adviser. busied itself by collecting A. A. dues, appointing and supervising our efhcient traffic force, and carrying on the unusually small number of student trials. Be- cause of the exceptionally orderly freshman corridors, it was not necessary for student council members to spend their study periods there. At the meeting for election of officers those elected were Ernestine Blakney. president: Robert Davidson. vice-president: Janet Northrop. secretary: Jane Farrell. treasurer: Jean Podolske, librarian: Thomas Clarke, student court judge: and John Spiridigliozzi, chief traffic marshal. The corridor marshals were Henry Mucciaccio, Eleanor Elliott, Lois Vwlatson. and Lofts McGuire. With the exception of Mucciaccio, they changed corridors every month, always trying to avoid the third floor. The council held a successful St. Patricks Day dance, and with the funds from the overflowing treasury gave a scholarship to a graduate. Four members represented the student council at each of two conventions during the year. Ernestine Blakney, Rita Sergi, Thomas Clarke, and Alfred Podolski went to the first convention. and Jane Farrell, Murdella Dean. Thomas Clarke and Robert Davidson went to the second. 66 REFLECTIGNS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Seiiemiee Serviee League liarlrara Balm-r, John llandluv. .lean Lambert, David Howe-lls, Jane Bottomley, Earl Edison, Earl Stuck Hubert l-lnxmann, limil l'i'm'nst.

The football team opened a successful season, playing under lights for the first time at Stone Park, by defeating Malden Catholic 13 to O. This game was the first of seven victories out of eight starts. North Quincy and Needham fell 32 to 6 and 27 to O. Columbus Day morning Wincliester lost 3-l to 0 at Stone Park and Abington bowed out 27 to 7 the following Saturday. The Natick game scheduled for Saturday, November 2. was played the following Monday due to rain, Natick losing 13 to O. At this point in the season Dedham was tied with Weymoutli for the Class C state title. November 9, Weymoutli defeated Dedham 12 to O, before more than 10,000 people, the largest crowd ever to see a football game at Stone Park. After an exchange of kicks and a Dedham penalty, Weyfnioiitli took the ball at midfield, and in four plays Weymoutli's Covallo scored from the 2-1- yard line. A trick pass for the point failed. ln the last half Weyiiioutli reached Dedham's 8, 15, and 5-yard lines and lost the ball on downs all three times. A Dedham pass was intercepted on the 20-yard line and Weynioutli scored the second final touchdown in three more plays. Milton lost 27 to 7 in the final game of the year. The annual Norwood game was postponed for the first time in 21 years, due to heavy snow. After being rescheduled for December 7, the game was called off since the field could not be cleared. Captain John Spiridigliozzi and 23 other lettermen received sweaters at the football banquet Monday, February 24. 74 REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Hoelkey Review First mir: William Brown, manager, James Nesbitt, John Lynch, Edward Robbins, Robert Davidson, Ed- mund Tully.

Lfavlr row: Joseph Quinn, Robert Tully. Francis Dunne. Ralph Neas, Richard Quinn, William Davis., Finishing their fifth season of league competition, the Dedham High School hockey team won five, tied four, and lost one game to take third place in the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey League. The season started favorably with a four to two victory over Malden, Captain John Lynch scoring two goals. Lexington brought about the only defeat of the season when Dedham bowed four to three. Brockton held Ded- ham two to two in the third game. Somerville lost three to one in the fourth encounter. Saturday, January l l, Dedham played the most exciting game of the year against the eventual champions, Hudson High School. Two right wings, Jim Nesbitt and George Gaetani, shared the honors of the day with a goal apiece. Jim Nesbitt scored the first goal and George Gaetani scored in the third period to make the final score two to nothing. About two minutes of playing time remained, but Hudson could not score. This was the only defeat the power- ful Hudson aggregation suffered all season. The following week Dedham defeated Natick two to one, and in the next two games Brookline held Dedham scoreless, and Malden lost again two to nothing. The season ended with two ties, Lexington two to two and a scoreless tie with Brockton. In the outside games Dedham defeated Noble and Greenough two to noth- ing in the first victory since these games have been played. The M. I. T. fresh- men lost five to one, and scrimmages were held with Boston Trade, Needham High. and Hingham High. Dedham High was well represented on the annual Eastern Massachusetts All-Stars team by Ed Robbins, goalie: Bob Davidson, defenseman: and Bill Jones, center. n il f -i i I l l I i E I I i REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL gg 75 Basketball Review I-'rmit row: Alfred Podolski, Lofts Mefluire, John Spiridigliozzi, Robert Kimball, Elio Mattozzi, Henry Mueeiaccio, James Sarro.

The basketball team started on a successful season when it defeated the Newton Y. M. C. A. 39 to 18. ln their first Bay State League game, January 8. Dedham downed Vv'alpole, 29 to 13. Framingham nearly tied up the third league game at the last min- ute, but Dedham won, 32 to 26. A week later Dedham almost caught Need- ham in the closing minutes of the game. but Needham managed to win. 44 to 30. ln the second encounter with Milford. Dedham almost tied the score. but Milford froze the ball for the last two minutes and won. 35 to 33. Dedham defeated Natick, 47 to 29. here in Dedham, February 7. The team finished in fourth place in the Bay State League, with five vic- tories and seven defeats. Norwood triumphed, 38 to 32, but in a second game Dedham defeated Norwood. 36 to 34. The team's strength can be estimated by the fact that they defeated Framingham by six points and lost to Milford by two. Both of these teams were later invited to the Annual New England lne terscholastic Basketball Tournament at M. I. T. Captain Bob Kimball played a steady game at guard throughout the sea- son and Elio Mattozzi was a consistent high scorer. John Spiridigliozzi com- pleted his fourth year of varsity basketball, He piled up 385 points in four years, the highest total yet. Other defeats were-Milford 48 to 26, Natick 50 to 24, Norwood 38 to 32, Walpole 30 to l8. Framingham 38 to 22: victories-Dedham 36, Norwood 34 and Dedham 40, Needham 34. ffv REFLECTIONSHOF DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Giiirllsg Basketball After having been declared interclass girls' basketball champions last year for defeating the '40 seniors, the '41 girls bowed two times out of three to the juniors, thus leaving the '42 girls school champions. However, after the Hrst two defeats lone by two points and one by fourl. the seniors came back to nose out the juniors eight to seven. Dne player, Evelyn Tucker. a forward, was greatly missed when she got a job which took up all of her afternoons. Other team members were in the senior play and so a schedule had to be devised whereby players could attend both team practice and senior play rehearsals on days when the two coincided. During most of the season, Miss Bertha Garlick assisted girls' physical ed- ucation teacher, Miss Joan Tobin, in coaching and refereeing. Girls playing guard were Captain Margaret McGrath, Grace Volmer, Laura Cowan, Dorothy Sweet. Doris Peterson, Dorothy Dennis, and Dorothy Payne. Those included in the forward category were Eleanor Bailey, Shirley Web- er, Helen Oberlander, Dorothy Westhaver, Catherine Whitty. Marjorie Arm- strong.

Bob Davidson and Bert Alyward played on the hockey team and Captain Lofts lVlcCiuire played some basketball. The first meet that the team participated in was the Eastern Seaboard Re- lay Carnival at the Garden. The one-lap relay team was beaten by East Bos- ton, and Dedham in turn defeated Brighton. The two-lap relay team had piled up a sizable lead when Bill Claffey pulled a muscle in his leg and had to stop running. January Zl. at the Northeastern University lnterscholastic, Ernie Bossel- man and Dick Smith scored points and the relay team lost to Vv'eymouth and Roslindale. ln the state meet. February 8, Dick Smith took second in the 600 and the relay team defeated Vvlorcester Commerce and Cambridge Latin. They turned in the fourth fastest time of any relay team in their class.

The team opened with a 15 to Z victory over Milford. Then came a 7 to 6 win over Needham, a 13 to 6 victory over Walpole, a 9 to 5 loss to Need- ham. a 3 to 2 edging of Natick, and a disastrous I6 to 5 defeat by Framingham.
