SMITH Page 8 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL emot ' d SHIRLEY ALBER Sliirl” expects to go to work as a secretary and when she has the money, spend the rest of lier life traveling. We hope she’ll fintl time for her two favorite hobbies, taking pictures aiul eating! ROBERT AEDOUS In Bob we have a genuine sports enthusiast with skiing and swimming at the top of his list. After serving in the U. S. Navy, Bob hopes to become the pro- prietor of a sporting goods store. 1 lis initiative and enthusiasm sliould be great assets. JOHN ALLAN Bud hopes to join the Lk S. Navy and sail the bounding main of which he read in jioetry. Since math is his favorite subject, he intends to use it in hi ' chosen held, engineering. ELAINE MAY ANDERSON What’s cooking?” was Andy’s favorite expression. After at- tending a business school next year, Elaine hopes to follow a secretarial career until that hand- some Marine re-enters the picture. WARREN ARMSTRONG Can this be heresy? Warren, whose father and brothers have served in the Lk S. Marine Corps, hopes to join the Navy. We know that Warren will succeed in his ultimate ambition, to become a businessman. DORIS AYLW ' ARD W ' hiz-bang! Don’t get excited, Suzie” )ust forgot something and wants to get it from 101 before Topper’s history class starts. A capable stenographer? Yes, we think Doris will be a real success in the business world. JANE AYRES WY ' wonder how long Janie will lollow her plans to go to Lasell Junior College before she reaches her ultimate ambition, to be a housewife.” This versatile and best dressed girl of the Senior Class would make a gootl catch. THELMA BARTHEL One of our quietest girls, Lucky” was a true friend and never hesitated to help anyone. She is proud of her record of never missing a football game. She hopes soon to have a car of her own and later a plane. She’ll miss those classes with Topper”. PRISCILLA BARTLETT J’hat cheery smile? Must be ’Cilia; she’s always happy. 1 ler even disposition and that good humor have impressed us all. When she heads for college next year, she says she’ll miss Topper, Jake and the Library. W ' e’ll all miss you, too, C]illa. CANDIDA BASILICI Candy”, who is called Dolly” at home, intends to speed up the war effort by working in a de- fense plant. Her friends will d- wat ' s enjoy her keen sense of humor ami her quiet unassuming manner. Page 1 0 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL BARBARA BELL Very soon Lulu” will begin her training to become a nurse. We shall be tempted to bring our aches and pains to this attractive young lady. After having seen Barbara operate” on Mirror as- signments, we know the doctor’; orders will be carried out. WARREN BENJAMIN Another school bus will have to be added to the Manor run when Benjy” takes his Chev. off the route. We wonder if iiis favorite expression will still be Why?” after he joins the U. Navy. RUS.SLLL BIRCHALL In the Marine Corps Russ” will have an opportunity to con- tinue his favorite hobby, hunt- ing, even if he does have to sub- stitute Japs for ducks. Russ” was one of our football and track stars, but he was none the less gifted in the social graces. .MARGARET BRADBURY When the office workers at Sturtevant’s Readville Plant hear Jeepers”, they can be sure that Peggy has arrived. We are glad to hear that Peggy intends to con- tinue to deve lop her talent in art. JOHN BREAD Y Gat” left Dedham in P’ebru- ary to become a radioman in the U. S. Navy. John will be re- membered as a guard on both the basketball and football teams. When John returns from the service, the Dedham teams will have one more royal rooter”. LOIS M. BROWN Brownie” came to us from Maine in the middle of our senior year. Her quiet, unassuming manner will take her far in the business world. We know success will crown her efforts when she returns to Maine this July. ELIZABETH BROWN One of our best natured girls, Bette’s sure to be a joy to anv office where she works. She’ll miss 4A, Topper,” and Miss Mur- dock’s English classes. We hope she attains her ambition of hav- ing a maid when she’s married. RUTl I BRUEGGEMAN Ruthie” says that her ambi- tion is to embark on the sea of matrimony with a handsome young sailor. However, she does hope to join the business world first. We know her good nature and her ability at the piano wdl bring her many friends. HELEN BURGER Always a conscientious worker, we know Helen will make a name for herself at the Registry of Deeds just as she did while in high school. We hope she realizes her ambition to become a good roller skater, and in time settle down with that Marine. EDWARD BURKE Big lul” was a member of the highest scoring line in the Eastern Mass. I lockey League as well as a member of the All-Star team. His friendly smile and re- liability will keep his many milk customers satisfied. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 1 1 THERESA BURNS Terry wants to do Iter part for Uncle Sam and become a Cadet Nurse. We’re sure she will keep her patients in good spirits. If she helps them pull through” like she helped the D.H.S. foot- ball and hockey team — no one need worry. JOHN BUSSER Buzz” says that between foot- ball and commando training he is in y -l shape for the Navy. John has a host of friends who will testify to his good nature and desire to help others. Such a man is bound to succeed. EDITH CAMERON If you stop at the Statler Hotel you may notice how efficient the secretarial staff is with Edith showing the way. 1 ler calm, un- ruffled manner is ideally suited tor her new duties. JOHN B. CAMPBELE We know you have seen this young man at all the social events of our class and in our senior play. Speed” aspires to become an engineer after serving in the Mariite Corps. POSTER CAMPOS Poster was one of the ace sales- men for the senior play booklet. He hopes to become a machinist’s mate in the U. S. Navy and there- by learn a useful trade. JEAN CARR A position in an office with a nice boss is Jean’s ambition. Eler pleasant smile and cheerful man- ner will make her a valuable aid to any employer. We know she wdl find time to continue her hobbies: tennis, swimming, and walking. PRANCES CHAMBERLAIN Oh heavens!” E ' ranny bewails her favorite expression as to her plans for next year, but we know with her ability, pleasing manner, and sweet smile that she will achieve success in every endeavor she attempts. We shall remember her for her kindness. MARGERY Cf lAMBERLAIN After completing her college career, Margie” hopes to become a buyer, which will be in keep- ing with her taste for fine clothes. This will give her ample time to follow her hobbies of reading, swimming, and writing letters. DOROTHY CHRISTIAN Hold it,” snaps Chris as she falls out of some tree. You’d better watch out someday when Dottie” gets to be a photogra- pher on the Daily Plane f”. She’ll snap your picture when you least expect it. CHAREES CLEMENT If you hear someone prowling around in your cellar, don’t call the police. It’s only Charlie read- ing the water meter. He lists his interests as: baseball, blondes, food, and sleep, but we shall re- member him as another member of that famous football team. Page 1 2 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL EDWARD CLUFF Ed’s genius in math, and science will carry him far in his chosen field — chemistry. Ed plans to enter M.ET. at once and finish his course after the war. We shall remember this young gen- tleman as our vice president and as a slashing end. MARY COEUMBO Vivacious Alary would like to join the Waves, but lacking the required age she thinks she will do her bit for the war effort at Sturtevant’s. One of her ambi- tions is to visit Hawaii. JEAN ANNE CONEON Bowling and horse-back riding are the forms of recreation which Jean enjoys most, but she has not neglected her preparation for the business world or for domestic competence. Jean hopes to com- bine education and pleasure by her travels. ANTHONY DeBENEDICTIS When Benny” entered the U.S. Navy Dedham High School lost a star athlete. As captain of the 1943-44 basketball team and quarterback of the unscored upon and undefeated ’44 football team his name will long be re- membered by all. VII )0 Df.EEEICE Dedham High will remember you, Mr. Zero,” as one of its outstanding hockey players. When X ' ido is a wonderful automobde mechanic, we shall all take our cars to Vido’s Service Station for perfect and speedy repairs. FRANCES DeEAIRRO Sis” a real friend to everyone she knows, plans a busy life. She’ll work at Sturtevant’s, flash her dazzling smile at the cus- tomers in the drug store, and, in due time, find the right man and marry! ElEEEN DeMERS To be a professional tap dancer is the ambition of Eileen if a certain member of Uncle Sam’s Navy does not interfere. Her vim and pep will be great assets in her chosen work. JOHN DePAOLI Uncle Sam’s Navy will claim John, who is the tallest boy in the class and one of the best na- tured. John’s ultimate ambition is to become a draftsman. MAE DePASTENE Mae expects to assume the role of secretary, but it is her ambi- tion to become a model. We have found her to be a quiet, con- scientious girl who is a real friend. She will do well in her chosen field. DAVID DEPROMCf Dave’s” willingness to help others will carry him a long way alotig the road to success as an electrical engineer after he com- pletes his course at Tufts. We shall never forget his poise and graciousness as an usher at the proms. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 1 3 ROSl ' DiVIRGIl.lO Although Rose is going to work in an orficc it is only as a means to an end, for site intends to at- tend art school and eventually will follow her chosen career, art. rhis quiet, sincere young lady will make the grade. DONA Dt ' )NEI.AN The orchestra won’t seem the same next year without genial Dona and her magic flute.” Equally proficient at piano and flute, we are sure that Dona, after four years at the L ' niversity at N ' ermont, will be an outstanding success in the musical world. EVELYN IXfNC’fVAN When Evie” sa s that she in- tends to enter ETiimanuel College and ultimately become a linguist, we know that her ambition is . s good as accomplished for this charming and efficient girl has acquired the habit of succeeding. JEAN DONOVAN Jean, who did such a grand )ob as Mrs. Hallion in I’laiic Cicizy, plans to studs’ engineering at Tufts College. Her efficiency and dependability will make her one of the most successful en- gineers of the fair sex. JOHN DONOVAN Yes, this is the affable soung man ssJiose gracious naanner im- pressed so many young ladies at the social events of our class. 1 fowever, his football opponents never remarked about his charm- ing ways. We predict a bright future for John. RORERT DONOVAN Rob” left us in March to enter Northeastern University. When a young man is a good student, is interested in athletics, and finds time to work outside of school, he mat’ well be called ambitious. RUTH DOYLE Next year )ou will find Ruth at the Registry of Deeds which will give her an opportunity to follow the high school football team. Her quiet and genial man- ner will make Ruth a welcome companion in any group. EVELYN DRAKE Evie’s” quiet, even disposition and willingness to help others bode well for her future as a nurse. Evie” intends to enter a nursing school in Keene, New Hampshire next September. Her favorite expression, Oh, swell,” manifests her contented nature. JEAN DUNRAR After attending Wilfred Aca- demy, Jean aspires to a beauty parlor of her own. X ' e feel quite sure that she will be her own best advertisement and that her business will be a great success. REVERl.Y EfCHEER f rom dancing to skiing, front the Apple Tree Diner to the fdotcl Statler Jackie” has enjoyed a wide variety of happy experiences. There will be four years at W ' ll- liam and Mary College with many more accomplishments before Jackie” says, Are you serious?” Page 1 4 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL JANH ENZMANN Tliis young lady has a long list of literary and athletic achieve- ments. She is particularly adept at figure skating. We know that she will take her college course in stride as she has done every- thing else. lONE ERICKSON Bunny” plans to attend col- lege where she will have ample leisure tinae to continue her hob- bies of photography, dancing, and swimming. lone says she will miss Topper”. ROSE EAGIOEI W ' hen you hear someone say, You’re mean to me” you’ll know it’s just Shorty” expounding her philosoph) ' on her size. She won’t have far to go before she becomes an efficient secretary, and some day meet that lucky man. EEIZABETM EAEEON W ' e arc all going to miss Betty at the (Oakdale Pharmacy next year, but our good wishes go with her to Katherine Gibb’s School. You’ll still find her next year at every football game and in her spare time riding horses. CAROl.INE I- ATE Caroline plans to enter a train- ing school for nurses in Septena- ber. It is her ambition to travel in conjunction with her ocation. We know that Caroline will al- ways have time for hei many friends. HEEEN EERRIS While we are apt to remember Melen for her capability and ef- ficiency in stenography and ac- counting, we also recall that she was a leader in social and athletic events. Anyone who knows Helen is her friend. RITA FIOEA Rita plans to attend l.incoln Prep and then follow a nursing career. After earning her R.N. she would like to become a stewardess on one of the trans- continental air lines. Rita’s pleasing manner will insure suc- cess. AEICE EITZHENRY Fitzie’s” cheery sniile and conscientiousness make her de- sirable as a secretary. Ultimately Alice intends to enter the state of matrimony, but only after en- joying her dancing hobby to the utmost. MARION 1 ITZPA TRIC:K This young lady, who has given so generously of time and talent to the class, says that the law and law offices appeal to her. We have never seen Marion angry — an excellent recommendation which predicts success and do- mestic bliss. JOHN E. lEANAGAN Although we know that this capable young man is ery mod- est and even shy, our opponents on the football field and track never did get close enough to fleet Johnny” to find out. It is John’s ambition to be an archi- tect. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Poge 1 5 EILEEN EOEEY Lee” plans to be a stenogta- pher in the Land Court next year, and after the war she liopes to travel around the world. With her good nature we know she’ll be a success in whatever she un- dertakes. MARION ERAPPIED Dancing and bowling head the list of Marion’s hobbies. We won- der if it is patriotism alone which prompts her to write all those letters on that scented stationery. She will be remembered as one of t)ur social le.ulers. (iEORGE FURNISEI George had the distinction of playing a part in a senior play in his junior year. George is now playing a bigger part in a greater drama. World War 11. A prolific reader, he will bring a vast store of information to his chosen work. CLAIRE GESSNER You will find Gussie” doing secretarial work, and we know that her employer will find her as dependable and efheient as we have at D.H.S. However, her ambition is to be a secretary” to some young man now in service. CEIARLES GLOVER Chic’s” plans for next year are to join the Navy, but then he always did have a fascination for riding the waves at the Dedham Canoe Club. LINDA GOEHR I NG Is someone calling Honeychile? Well, here comes Linda, with those sparkling eyes and that cheery smile. None of us will be able to forget the grand job she did in Phiiic Crazy; she helped Glee Club along all year too. BEATRICE GOLDSTEIN Bebe” hopes to become a cadet nurse and travel to Europe after the war. Meanwhile she will be found working in John Hancock’s Boston ofticc. Needless to say, she will continue to find time to write to that Air Corps corporal. ODETTE GUYOT Odette’s sunny disposition should be a great asset in her chosen profession as a French teacher. Perhaps she will arouse the interests of her pupils by using her artistic talents to illus- trate the subject matter. ARLENE HARRISON Whenever you hear anyone talking fast about the Navy, you’ll know it’s Harry”. A real sport, she intends to work next year. She’ll miss crunching food in Mr. Ryan’s homeroom, and we are all going to miss her merry talk and infectious giggle. JAMES HAZARD Yes, this is the fellow who was the quarterback on the 1944 un- defeated and unscored upon eleven. Next year the passengers on the Manor bus will miss Red” who like so mans ' of his class- mates expects Lhicle Sam to have a hand in his immediate future. Page 1 6 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL MARJORIE HERBERT Margie’s happy disposition and excellence in culinary art should insure the domestic bliss which she assures us will be one of the outcomes of World War II. We know that her inseparable com- panion, Marion Frappied, will just have to live nearby. FRANCIS C. HICKEY Hick’s” willingness to help others, his good nature, and his flashing smile account for the fact he was chosen our most popular and best natured boy. He will become a lawyer after at- tending Holy Cross. GEORGE HOFFMAN When Red” enters the U. S. Navy he hopes that the experi- ence he gained working in a local garage will qualify him to be an air crewman attached to a flat-top”. His companions wdl always enjoy his sense of humor. LEONARD JACKSON Egad!” Here comes the super swingster of Dedham High. When our children swoon over Lennie” and his hot drums in years to come we older folks will have to tolerate it. Good luck to you Lennie” as a successful band- leader. JEAN JOHANSEN Mr. Ryan’s X-periods and Eng- lish classes were never dull with Gabby” around. Bewteen play- ing the violin, piano, and swim- ming, she hopes to go to either a college or a business school and to make enough money to enjoy herself. LILLIAN JOHNSON Her favorite expression, 1 could have a spell,” may express the way her swooning audience will receive this talented young singer who hopes to continue her musical career in New York next season. DOROTHY KANE Collecting neckties is Dotty’s” hobby which may explain why so many young men may be seen on Ames Street sans tie. The ability to get along with everyone coupled with a sense of humor will pay dividends for Dotty”. TERESA KATAROSKI Terry says that she hopes to see the world, but not alone. Per- haps this statement explains those voluminous letters which Terry sent and received. Her even dis- position and kind manner will serve her well in any situation. JOHN KILEY John’s interest in aviation has progressed from a hobby of building model planes to the point where he now possesses a student license to fly. After service in the Army Air Corps Johtt will continue his flying career. EDWARD KIEI.ION This quiet, ambitious youth has impressed us with his scholastic ability, his willingness to help his friends, and his gentlemanly con- duct. Ed” nromises to be one of our future substantial citizens. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page ) 7 ARTHUR F. KIRBY We point with pride to the string of A’s which have graced Artie’s” report cards. Our honor graduate will enter M. I. T. and become a chemist, but, regardless of how busy he may be, Arthur will continue to follow his fav- orite sports. MARY KIVLIN When you hear some laugh pro- coking reply, you know without looking that it’s Kibby”. One of our wittiest girls, she is a true friend to everyone, and we know she’ll be a great success in the business world. BARBARA KNAPP Barb, one of our honor gradu- ates and most ambitious girl”, is planning to attend Middlebury next year. She hopes to become an interpreter, while continuing with her piano and tennis. CHARLOTTE LA CROIX Although Charlie” hates to leave Mr. Ryan’s homeroom, she will attend the Modern School of Fashion and Design next year. Her friendly manner and keen sense of humor will keep her sur- rounded with friends as they have at D. H. S. RICHARD LAMBERT Dick” enjoyed Mr. Ryan’s chalk talks most of all at D. H. S., but we shall remember his en- thusiatic support of the Bruins and his morning after” debates. Next season this big boy will put aside his hockey and football uni- forms for one of Navy blue. JOSEPH LAWLER Like so many other young men, Joe expects to enter the armed forces, but he hopes to gain a col- lege education on his return and ultimately become a lawyer. His friends will remember Joe as a consciencious worker and a real fellow. STEPHEN A. LEVANGIE Steve” says that Uncle Sam may help him decide his immedi- ate future, but eventually he hopes to work in an office where he can use what he learned in ap- pliances. Steve likes to engage in sports and to build model planes. WILLIAM LIBERATOR Perhaps we can account for Libby’s hobbies by the fact that he saw a great deal of the world delivering Uncle Sam’s mail. He Fie listed his interests as follows: Sports, (all kinds). Music, and Girls! After serving in the Army he hopes to become a lawyer. IRENE LINGLEY Just wait until the war is over,” says Irene in answer to the querie about her plans. We sus- pect that the handsome young serviceman, who is the recipient of those copious letters, is the cen- tral figure in Irene’s picture of the future. DOROTHY LIPPS Dot’s artistic ability coupled with her favorite hobbies of mak- ing hats and decorating homes will turn out to be an interesting and profitable vocation. Travel seems to intrigue her, particu- larly in the ' ' X ' est and Canada. Page 1 8 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL ELEANOR LIZIO Ellie” will enter a hair dress- ing school soon and will practice that art until a certain popular young Coast Guardsman returns. A very capable and pleasant young lady, Ellie will be a great success in both fields. CLAIRE LORD Sparky” intends to be a priv- ate secretary in town, and we hope that her boss will be able to concentrate on work with her there. With her vivacious per- sonality, you will be able to single her out in a crowd. JEANNETTE LOWE Jackie’s” ambition is to travel to England and Scotland, but first she plans to work in an office. We know with her wonderful dancing ability and gay person- ality she’ll go far as a hostess en- tertaining our boys with stories of lively study halls and dances. JOHN LUND Although John is undecided about next year, he says that he has leanings” toward the U. S. Navy. We shall always remem- ber Lundy” as our stentorian cheerleader and as a star per- former in the Senior Play. PRANCES LYNCH When that pleasant voice says, This is the Long Distance Oper- ator,” perhaps you will recognize it as belonging to your classmate, Erances. True to the family tradition she lists hockey as her favorite sport. STANLEY McNEVIN The Riverdale bus will not seem the same without Abner” whose rapid fire comments and good humor made the trip all too short. Stan has been a pillar of the class at all meeting and social functions. It’s the Coast Guard for Stan. JOSEPH MADDEN Although Joe was one of the quietest boys in our class, he was a warm friend when one made his acquaintance. The U. S. Navy figures very prominently in Joe’s immediate future, but we know he will always find time for his athletic hobbies. ANNA MADONNA Anna enjoys crowds, whether the location is in the cafeteria, a study hall, or a dance floor. Her friendly nature will long be remembered by the members of the class as well as her ability to play basketball. HENRY J. MALONEY The Dedham goal was scored by number four. Captain Ma- loney” came over the Arena sound system more than any other announcement for Herk” led the Eastern Mass. League in scor- ing. In his last game, Henry set a world’s record. JOSEPH MANNA Perhaps Joe will have the op- portunity to study about his favorite hobby, airplanes, in the U. S. Navy. Joe always took an active part in class affairs especial- ly class meetings, (fn his return from the Navy he hopes to own and fly his own plane. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 1 9 RICHARD McCarthy Dick s.iys tli.it he will icincmber the sports, the girls, .iiul study h.ills of D.H.S. We are sure th.it his athletic ability and sociil talents will cause him to be re- membered too. After receiving his diploma, Dick will set sail in the U. S. Coast Cuard. WILLIAM McDonald W ' oof-woof ”, we hear Mac” coming! Whv? It must be base- ball, football, or maybe just women he’s thinking of. It’s radio school lor Bdl if Uncle Sam tloesn’t find out what a swell fellow he is before then. Mac will make out o.k. VIOLLT McMA.STERS We are sure the pupils will not be truant when Vi” becomes a school teacher for which she is well qualified by inclination and temperament. We shall remem- ber how she enjoyed the proms and dances. ALAN MEN ICE Alan is now on duty in the U. S. Coast Guard, but we shall remember this energetic hustler as a manager of the senior play pro- gram booklet and as an ace sales- man. Lie was always interested in class affairs and never needed a second invitation to a dance. CATHERINE MONTISANO Kay’s interest in clothes has lead to her desire to be a model for which career she intends to prepare at Boston University. We shall remember Kay best for her discussions in salesmanship and her partici|iation in class func- tions. MARGARET MORRISSEY Although Peggy admits a fond- ness for radio crooners, it is dif- ficut to picture this businesslike and efficient voting lady swooning b her rad lo. If conscicnciou.s ability and personality insure suc- cess, Peggy will be tops in her chosen vocation. STELLA MUCCIACCO Spam” is our efficient treas- urer and our most athletic girl. 1 ler cheerful smile and obliging manner will assure her of success in any of life’s endeavors. Her ambition is to marry a rich man. ELEANOR NELSON If you hear Oh Gee” followed by an infectious giggle coming from the window of the Norfolk and Dedham Fire Insurance Co., you may be certain it belongs to Elly”, whose chief interests have been Miss Murdock’s English class, sports, and children. JEAN NAY Jean is going to be a cadet nurse with the idea of becoming a Navy nurse. She figures that she will go to the battle areas whereas now only her letters get there. Roller skating was her chief hobby. GLORIA NELSON Nellie” says she is undecided as to whether she shall follow a singing or nursing career, but per- haps she could combine the two to good advantage. We believe her calm disposition will always be a great asset. Page 20 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL PAULINE NICKERSON Holy Cats” where will the orchestra be next year without Nicky and her clarinet? She’ll be playing with a swing band which should suit her to a T”. We are sure she is well on the road to the realization of her am- bition to be a great musician. JAMES O’NEIL That’ ’s what you say,” Jerry, but we know you’ll be a success in whatever you do. We shall never forget your fine playing on the football and basketball teams. We know your good sportsman- ship will pay dividends. WILLIAM O’NEIL Bill’s chief interests and en- joyments have been his classmates when he has not been engaged in despatching the U.S. Mail. His plans for the next year or so will be determined by Uncle Sam, after which he hopes to prepare for the study of medicine. ERANCIS PAPASEDERO Our basketball star, Popsy” said he will se us in church, that is if we both go. After he gets out of the Navy he hopes to get married and have a large family. This athletic and ambitious lad should make the grade m activity which he undertakes. JEAN PARKER Red” intends to work in a dentist’s office when she graduates, and think how lucky the patients will be! She hopes to have plenty of time to write to that fellow in the Navy. MARGARET PAYNE Peggy” plans to enter the em- ploy of Sti.irtevant’s and hopes to become such a success on her job that she will gain an opportunity for advancement. Her leisure time will be occupied by her two favorite hobbies, reading atul dancing. CLAIRE LOUISE PECK After graduation, C laire wants to work in an office and save money to tr.ivel. She wants to see the world! We just hope she can find plenty of food on the other side of the w ' ater because Claire’s favorite pastime is eatitig at Cole’s. JOY PEN DERG AST Don’t be surprised if you see Penny” looking at you from the cover of a magazine some day, be- cause after graduating from Colby, she intends to become a model. With her person.dity and savoir faire” we know she wdl be a success. ANN PETERSON Ann was chosen as our most reliable” which is a most desirable quality for a doctor. Know ' ing Ann’s ability .iiul perserverance sve believe that Pete” can get the shingle ready to hang out. She will attend Simmons College. PAUL PRCfVOST Perhaps Paid will h.ive an op- portunity to play his famous tuba in the Navy band. Paul joined the service in March, but !iis many friends w ' ill always remem- ber his willingness to be of service. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 2 1 JOHN QUINN ' Gus” is heading foi Mass. State College where he will pursue his interests in scientihe subjects. We shall remember John as a friend ever willing to aid in any class activity. He intends to be- come a bacteriologist. MARIE QUINN Read the long list beside Marie’s name in the activities section of this book, and you will discover why she was selected the most popular girl. This picture should explain why Marie was chosen as the best looking girl. RITA RAWLEY Modest .and uinassuming are suitable adjectives for Ronny” who for several years has been dis- playing her vocal talents over the radio with her brother’s Wild Azaleas.” She will be a book- keeper. ROBERT RAY Captain of the 1944 football team, a member of the Eastern Mass. All-Star hockey team, and State Champion in the shotput, are some of the athletic honors heaped up husky Bob”. EDNA RESKA The diamond on the third huger of the left hand is the clue to Edna’s future. However, she in- tends to work for the duration of the war. Swimming and bowl- ing are two of her hobbies. GEORGE RIMELMAN After the war George hopes to enter the radio industry. This ambition probably can be traced to his employment at the Dedham Community Theatre. We know he will make the grade. WIEEIAM RINN Bill is quite an expert on radio or anything dealing with elec- tricity. Very logically he will follow this hobby and make it his career by studying electrical engineering at M.I.T. CARE ROBINSON To be selected as a member of the Suburban All-Stars is the highest honor which can come to a Dedham player, but our Carl richly deserved this tribute. He hopes to continue his stellar play- ing wearing the green of Dart- mouth. EESIE ROCKSTROM Had you noticed? Whenever the class held any function, Elsie was sure to be found on one of the committees. Her classmates long ago recognized what her em- ployers will soon find, that, when Elsie undertakes a task, it is as good as completed. MARY ROGERS In further preparation for her secretarial career, Mary will attend a business school next year. Oh, how horrible!” is Mary’s favorite expression, but we know she never used it to describe those dances. Page 22 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL EILEEN ROONEY The Class of 1945 points with pride to our girl genius” and to her all A report cards. After graduating cum laude from Smith, Eileen intends to take up journalism as a career. We all know that whatever she does, she will always be at the top. DOROTHY ROSCIA Dottie” hopes to learn a few more tricks about those perilous pompadors at Wilfred Academy. We are sure she will have her two chief ambitions gratified, to have a fur coat and to dance to name bands. A well known athlete may fit into her future plans. CARL ROSE Northeastern University opened its doors to this young man in March. Carl was an ardent hockey player in which capacity his even temper, good humor, and fine sportsmanship were often manifested. JAMES B. ROTHWELL Barney” was an ardent en- thusiast for Topper’s” histor)’ tests. Good luck to him at Northeastern and may he become an excellent aeronautical engineer some day. SHEILA RUSSELL Here is a recruit for the Cadet Nurses’ Corps. Rusty” has all the attributes necessary for a suc- cessfid nurse. Swimming and dancing head the list of her hob- bies which we know she will con- tinue to enjoy. ARLENE SCHERBER We know that Cookie” would make a very efficient secretary, but, after watching her work on the decoration committee for the Senior From, we believe that she has the unusual talents and abili- ties in decorative art and design. BETSY SCHMALZ Bet” will spend a year at Northfield School before going on to college. An honor graduate with many extra-curricular ac- tivities, she will be a success in any endeavor. We recall that Betsy was sincerely interested in the welfare of the class. NANCY SCHMALZ Nan plans to go to college next year and train to become a kinder- garten teached. If her pupils are as fond of her as we are, she ought to have a successful career. Nancy says she’ll miss 208 studies and Topper — won’t we all! PEGGY SEALE Peggy’s enthusiasm and genuine fondness for children will prove a great asset to her in her chosen profession, that of a kindergarten teacher. In years to come we shall recall how Peggy took such an interest in every class func- tion. Ui)RRAINE SEARS Lou” plans to become a book- keeper in the immediate future, but ultimately she intends to marry a lad who is now wearing one of Uncle Sam’s blue uniforms. Eou” thinks lunches should be eaten during X period. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 23 MERILYN SHAW What better name than Merry” could one find for a per- son who greets the world with such a pleasant smile? Merry’s” plans lead her to Simmons College, anti we know she will make the fine librarian she hopes to be. ANNE SEIEPHERD Quiet, consciencious, and ethei- ent Anne will be a success in any endeavor. We discovered that under that shy and retiring man- ner we had a real friend ever ready to help a fellow cl.issmate. ERANCES SHEPHERD Frances will do well in what- ever field she enters for she has the qualities which will inevitably spell success. Eler classmates will remember her as a fine .student and a real friend. I RANK SHERMAN W ' hitey’s” ability to solve dif- ficult problems in mathematics and his friendly manner will bring success to his endeavor not only in the U. S. Coast Guard but in the business world after the war. RAEPH SHIEEDS This young man is a pltigger who decides upon a goal and then sets about achieving it. When he says that he hopes to enter the field of aviation, we know his training in mathematics and the sciences qualify him for the work he desires. EDITH SIAS Although Edie” was a new comer to Dedham High this year, she quickly won our hearts by her quiet and unassuming manners. She plans to enter training to be- come a nurse next fall at the Quincy Elospital and continue her many hobbies. EUGENE SMITH Because Gene” was voted the best-looking boy in the senior class, don’t get any false impres- sion, for he was a real football and basketball player, one who could give and take with the best of them. NANCY SPIERS This talented young lady has a penchant for decorating homes and perhaps this will be her voca- tion as well as a hobby when Nancy completes her college course. We shall remember Nancy as a good student, a fine musician, and a firm friend. HELEN STAEIE An honor graduate and one of our most active class members, Betty says that her ambition is to buy a farm in New Hampshire and sleep until ten o’clock every morning. We know that Betty will never lack friends. JEAN STAPLES Yes, this is Stapes — a senior whom we all know and like a lot. Jean plans to go to college next fall while waiting for her O.A.O. to return. With her musical ability and pleasing per- sonality, Stapes will achieve suc- cess, we all agree. Page 24 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL ETHEL STREETER Skeeis” was chosen as the most dignified member of the class, but do not come to the conclusit)n that this dignity was cold auster- ity for you could not find a warmer friend than Ethel. She would like to turn her hobby, photography, into a vocation. JOSEPH SULLIVAN This young man’s immediate future will be spent in Navy blue. Joe enjoys many sports and hob- bies, but he says that he doesn’t like girls of any description. Joe always did justice to the lunch period. PATRICdA SULLIVAN Thoroughness and efficiency are Pat’s” outstanding recom- mendations and what could be better c]ualifications for a nurse? We are sure that Pat has not only the abilit)’ but the temperament for her chosen work. ROSE TAGEIONE Perhaps we are revealing a secret, but Rose says that her plans for next year include mar- riage. However, she neglected to mention the lucky man’s name. Perhaps she will still have time to visit her favorite movies. JCHEPH VENTRESCO We’ll always remember Joe’s good natured smile and his ability to hold his own in the line on that undefeated and unscoretl upon football team. Joe’s chief interests are chemistry and avia- tion, which he may follow m the Army. SUSAN VISCARIELLO Sewing has long been a hobby with Sue, but now she intends to use it in her chosen work. Busy, though she may be. Sue says that she will still find time to carry on her roller-skating. ARTHUR WALKER Here is another young man who answered the call of Uncle Sam for whom he worked at the Dedham Post Office before enter- ing the service. Arthur will make the grade in whatever field he enters after the war. CHARLES WARD We will all remember Mont- gomery’s” cheery Hi Kid” and know that he will make good in the Navy next year. After the war his ambition to own his own cabinet making business in New Elampshire will be realized. ALICE WHITE Oh, what a life,” is ' Tally’s” favorite expression, and possibly that is what envious persons wdl say of her secretarial position. We know that Alice will be a suc- cess in the business world. Mr. Ryan and Tomm)’ Dorsey are her favorites. TI lOMAS WHITTEN Tommy intends to continue on his present job. Automobiles wdl play an important part in his life, both in work and pleasure. Tommy has always been a de- pendable supporter of all class •ictivities anti will become one of our substantial citizens. DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 25 BARBARA E. WILLIS Barb” is eminently qualibetl for her chosen work, nursing, b)’ temperament, ability, and experi- ence. She will enter the Deacon- ess School of Nursing. We shall always remember Barb” playing the cello in the orchestra. ROBER1 ' WINTl lROP Hardworking Bob has always given of his time and energy to all the class activities. He was president in our freshman and sophomore years. Bob’s persever- ance and initiative promise suc- cess in the field of radio-advertis- ing. CAROL WOODWARD The cry with Woodie” is Let’s go!” This popular young lady will attend the Wilson School where she will train to become a laboratory technician in which capacity she would like to serve in the Marines. ELEANOR YOUNG Perhaps it is because she wants to be a school teacher that Elbe” has been observing Topper’s” methods so carefully. Remember you were a kid once yourself, Elbe.” LUCY ZINNI If you see someone studying hard, you’ll know that Lulu” is doing her school work. A real student, she intends to be a stenographer, and we know if she works as she did in school, it won’t be long before she’ll achieve her ambition. ELAINE BUTLER But’s” d rums were a regular feature in our assemblies. We hope she will be as happy be- ing a stenographer next year as she has been in the orchestra and will save a little time out to fulfill her ambition to fly. GEORGE PATCHIN As the photograph indicates, George has already joined Uncle Sam’s Blue Jackets. His pleasant good humor and interest in me- chanical things should help him now and in his postwar career. RICHARD DEDHAM The Army Air Corps is Dick’s immediate goal, but he hopes to continue in the field of aviation after the war, another example of a hobby being turned into a voca- tion. We have confidence in Dick’s success. PETER MADONNA How the time dragged for Peter while he awaited the call of the Merchant Marine! He will have an opportunity to realize his ambition of seeing the world and of serving his country at the same time. KENNETH NADEAU Ken will be employed as an assistant manager in a Quincy store until such time as he re- ceives a call from the U. S. Army. Ken has taken a prominent part in the social affairs of the class. IRVING NEGRINI Irv” was one of the first to answer the Army’s call, but his classmates will never forget his unusual ability and courage on the gridiron and basketball court. JOSEPH LEVANGIE Joe” left early in the year to join the armed forces. The abil- ity to see a silver lining no matter how dark the cloud will always make his companionship sought.

By Jean Staples, Evelyn Donovan, John Lund, and Marie Quinn We, the graduating class of 1 945, being of sound mind and body, firm tempera- ment, and lively spirits, realizing the fact that we are about to pass on to the great Page 40 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL beyond, and also believing in policy of banding down to posterity oiir various and sundry individual attainments, do hereby declare this our last Will and Testament. To whom it may concern, we do will and bequeath the following: F nf: A new baseball park to every class in Dedham High except our own; new trays to the cafeterias; the Minute Man Flag to the top of the flag pole; a brand new football team to Coach Ffeaphy, water to the fountains in the freshman Corregi- dor, free ice cream to the Class of 4745, a new lawn to whoever donates some grass seed, new pencil sharpeners to oh, now my mind’s beginning to wander, a new set of tiddly-winks to Miss Tobin, some organization to the Commandos, padded seats to 210, padded cells to detention, and our class meetings to any other class who can equal them. SecoitJ: To May Ann Murray, we leave Marie Quinn’s good looks and Jane Ayres’ wardrobe to Vi Masciarelli. Jean Johansen’s conversational ability goes to Frannie Emery, and Carol Woodward’s innumerable dates go to Jean Lyons. Marion Fitzpatrick’s dancing feet go to Jackie Abbot, while Evie Donovan’s demureness to Ann Guyot. Bill MacDonald’s title as Class Wolf goest to Jim Hayes and Ethel Streeter’s continued absences to Bobby Lally; to Eleanor Rafierty we leave Jean Staples’ peppiness. We hereby bequeath Frank Flickey’s and Marie Quinn’s popularity to George Winbourne and Barbara Dowd, respectively. To Robert Bestwick we will from Gene Smith the chance of becoming the handsomest senior of ’46. Eileen Rooney’s genius goes to Mary Ryan, as does Ed Cltiff’s to Warren Clement, and Lennie Jackson’s good looking clothes to Sam Porazzo. Hick’s good naturedness goes to Francis Botaish; Lenme Jackson, alias Fred Astaire, leaves his talent to William Keany, Johnny Sullivan gets Bill McDonald’s wildness by a landslide. We leave Mutt Ray’s outstanding four-year athetic ability to George Winbourne as we do Stella Mucciaccio’s to Rita O’Leary. W ' e do also will Arthur Kirby’s endless ambition to Robert Nichols and Barbara Knapp’s to Rita Canning, and 1, undie’s repertoire of humor to Jimmie Griffiths. Ethel Streeter’s dignified bearing goes to Joan Lincoln, David La Gallee inherits Paul Provost’s genius for involving himself in arguments. We leave Lennie’s musical talents to Wellesley Hannington, while Ann Peterson’s reliability goes to Sally Hanson. Sonn ' Nee gets his bashfulness from Johnny Flanagan, Odette Guyot’s artistic talents will be carried on by Rita Canning. Jean Staples’ flare for ttriginality is handed on to Jackie Elliott. After watching Bunso operate his business ventures, and social life, we expect him to step into Eddie Cluff’s honor of Most Likely to Succeed.” Mary Ryan’s long string of A’s entitle her to F.lleen Rooney’s distinction of The Girl Most Likely to Succeed.” Tony Gulla inherits Bill MacDonald’s Sinatra- like-ability to cause the fair sex to swoon at his entrance. John Lund doubts that Jimmy Bradbury can approach his enviable record as class screwball. Third-. We further will Eddie Burke’s rumble seat passengers to John Sullivan, Dick Lambert’s bill to the Boston Elevated to Fiddie Maloney. Vido’s bus trip to Short Street” to the Eastern Mass Street Railway. Peggy Jane Seale’s Indignation goes to Mary Martin, George burnish’s trained skunk, Magnolia”, to the biology classes. We leave Miss Keiulall a bicycle, another class like 4A to Miss Sweeney, to Miss Chandler we leave someone like liill MacDonald, and a package of cigarettes goes to DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 4 1 Mr. Ryan. Peace am.1 quiet in the library ami a new set of encyclopedias j oes to Mr. Dunne, to Miss Grant some bad, bad boys”, and we just leave Topper. In testimony thereof we have hereunto set out thoughts and desires in the presence of one thousand witnesses in the George F. Joyce Auditorium on the eighth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-five. by Hh-in SiAHL, N.ancy Simi;rs, Steli A Mucciaccio, and Jane Ayres The new school house purred blissfully and bathed itself in the sunny warmth of vXpril, 164L W ' ithin the building’s only room sat three people, one deeply engrosseil in the pages of a book, the other two gazing wistfully through the windows. The school master was staying that afternoon because the boys were staying, and the boys were staying as punishment for talking behind, so they had thought, the teacher’s back. It w ' as very still; at last the culprits saw ' Goodman Wheelock close his book and glance up. All right, lads, it grow ' s late! T’w ' cre best w ' e started home. Now ' , hast ye here learnt a lesson in discipline this afternoon?” Aye, we have Sir!” they answer in unison, dark gangly William and flame haired John. I hope you both speak truly; it is a wonderful and new ' idea, this having a school both free and public; think on it lads, and don’t abuse thy opportunity.” Last night. Sir, I was thinking,” says John, his freckles wriggling with excite- ment, ’Tis the first school of its kind in America and my father speaks as though there w ' ill be many such schools in the Colonies. One day Dedham may be famous as the beginner of a wondrous thing. Perchance we w ' ill be remembered a hundred years hence or perchance tw ' o hundred. William looks at John, Mayhaps they will hold us in their memories three hundred years from now; mayhap there w ' ill be still a school here. What will the students be like, think you, and what crafts will they ' follow? Will any become a wheelwright as I shall when I have graduated?” ’Tis strange, your asking these things, lads, this very morn did I make my w ' .iy to Widow bunson’s home w ' herein no one has entered these ten years, since she died, suspected, poor soul, of witchcraft. 1 found this dusty volume w ' hich, it appears, contains the answer to your wonderings. ’Tis strange indeed; old Widow ' bunson seems to have essayed the forecast of the future. To be sure, ’tis w ' ritten in strange Lnglish yet much is discernible. 1 have just now been reading it; thou w ' ould’st, I know, enjoy a perusal of the contents. Llere is the title, Vuture of the Class or What HafpeneJ When a Cyclone Struck Dedham. John opens the heavy book while the others peer over his shoulder. His freckles give a twitch of perplexity. To w ' hat thinkst thou this chapter title refers? ’Tis called Working Girls. A Mistress Doris Aylward is head of an advertising agency. How ' strange a term! and behalf the many secretaries! b. I’. Sturtevant’s secretary will be Margaret bradbury Page 42 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL and she will have in turn a secretary, Arlene Harrison, who, so it says, enjoys her work. This B. F. Sturtevant will also have a business manager, Edith Cameron. Astonishing! Women engaged in such tasks as these! Thinkst thou this means the women of to- morrow whll not stay at home for kitchen work?” William gazes at the writing before him. Yet, why should not women leave their kitchen in these times to come? For it would seem everyone will travel in that year of 1950. Helen Burger will set sail for Sweden, Teresa Kataroski to Hawaii, lone F.rickson and Ruth Doyle to South America (that no doubt meaneth Florida), Rita Hawley will go to the west and become an cowgirl. Good heavens! Pray, how can that be? Dorothy Kane will swim to France from England, l.ook, a certain Good- man, Francis Papasadero will travel far to visit a morgue where his friend, Edward Cluff is host, while another friend, Arthur Kirby, a chemist, floats skyward to Mars on a test tube which accidently exploded. Yes, these people seem not to like the ground, but rather the air”, John points to a page. John Allan pilots an airplane, whatever that may be. Paul Provost manages the Proi ost Airlinca. These may be clothes lines. Clotheslines are in the air. Fook you! Here is a certain Eugene Smith, known as a star, a movie star, high indeed will he have to rise.” William is pleased as a chapter named Sporfs aiul Cames, is found. This shoiiKl prove delightful reading. ”A champion bowler. Mistress Thelma Barthel, Jane En .- inann is a second Sonja Heine (I know not of a first one) and Warren Benjamin is a pro-baseball player. I know not what it means but to be pro-baseball sountls most painful and I feel right sorry for him.” Now for some foolish words.” John sounds completely baffled. What say you to PepU)dent and Ccihcr’s? Frank Ffickey will be a Pepaotlcii ad and Rose Fagioli .1 Gerber’s. Baby Food ad. Think you they bite?” Goodman Wheelock who has been quiet all this time, shakes his head sadly, Methinks these folks will be sinful, many fall by the w ' ayside and become actors and (.lancers; for example, a ballet team of Jeanette Lowe and Carl Robinson. Marion lutzpatrick and Leonard Jackson are, what is termed, ballroom dancing partners, their needs must be great indeed for they have a special accompanist, Barbara Knapp, and a special composer arranger Claire Gessner. Jean Nay is an actress and playing opposite her in Romeo and Juliet” as Romeo himself, is William McDonald. Next come some farmers,” exclaims John, turning a page. Joseph Madden owneth a potato farm in Maine; Ralph Shields, a wheat farm in Idaho; and George l iirnish, a skunk farm at the North Pole.” I’ve found some artists,” fairly shouts ' X ' illiam, for he is quite an artist, having carved for posterity a portrait of Goodman Wheelock on his desk cover. The original of said portrait says, Oh, yes, Odette Guyot does landscapes, Claire I.ord does animals, and Claire Peck does many things.” Suzanne Viscariello is president of the 1-Jip-U Real Estate Ckampany and,” and John becomes dubious at sight of the next phrase, Robert Aldotis, President of the Delapidated Vehicles Company, Inc. This chapter on Presidents is most certainly interesting; here’s the president of the Mystery Chef Company, the mystery himself, John Flanagan; the President, Vice-President, and Treasurer of the International So- ciety ' of Nurses, Barbara ' X’ilhs, Beatrice Goldstein, and Lorraine Sears. Tw ' o more Presidents: Rose Taglioni, President of the Boston Envelope with-chocolate-flavored- DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 43 i lue Company and her rival Candida Bascilici, President of the Boston Envelope with peppermint-flavored-glue Company. What is it you’ve found. Sir?” ”1 fear I’ve found more sinners; this time they be gamblers, Frances Lynch, alack, plays a game with cards, Rummy, and Margaret Morrissey engages in Michigan, wherein one bets with matches. John Kiley plays at Poker which for certain is sinful above .11 the games, although he loses always, yet this mat ters not. ’Tis the principle of the thing.” W ' hat believe thou is meant by ' Glamour Girl’? Here is Mistress Marie Quinn, Miss America of 1950 and Eileen Rooney is the number one deb of New York. How very odd! Lillian Johnson is the pin-up girl of the United States Navy. (Whatever those may be) and Rita Eiola is its Mascot.” William pauses out of breath, then plunges on, Salesmen are dealt with in chapter next; Lois Brown selleth brooms to housewives, (will there be such things in 195 0) Mary Kivlin and Jean Carr selleth vacuum cleaners to school janitors, and Frances Chamberlain selleth cough drops to Mr. Bottomley.” Next comes, lads, a chapter entitled Mana; crs, wherein it tells that Kenneth Nadeau will be manager of the Stop and Shop Store where all the damsels will assuredly do their shopping, if for no other reason than because Edward Killion will be manager of the Carrot coun ter. Foster Campos will be manager of a Castor Oil Company and should make great profits for Priscilla Bartlett will be his department manager and there, at last, will talk without restraint.” David DeProho manages the Gas Company, Theresa Burns, The Wolics. Ods bodkins,” yells John, Oh, excuse my blasphemy, Sir, but look! A butcher, a lady butcher, by name Anna Madonna and here is her assistant, the steak expert, Alice White, and look you, more strange occupations for women. In the circus Anne anel Frances Shepherd doest a tight-rope act and Betsy Schmaltz is a bare-back rider.” Ods, bodkins,” says William, hearing this, then he in turn apologizes to Goodman Wheelock, then to make amends before his teacher, he points. Look Sir, some will teach as you do. Charles Clement will teach mathematics to hopeless morons. The widow says Charles learneth much this way. Joseph Sullivan instructs the gentle art of gym. Ah! here are three young ladies with a kindergarten. Mistresses Peggy Seale, Nancy Schmalz, and Eleanor Young.” Now,” says Goodman Wheelock, a chapter dealing with books, at least a few of these sinners will read. Mcrilyn Shaw is librarian in charge of books and Jean Johansen is librarian in charge of the ' Silence-No Talking’ department”, he reads on, Ruth Brueggeman is librarian in charge of the Children’s Department.” John is delighted with his next discovery, I’ve found a page named Al sccllaneous I ' litiircs. An explorer will be Mary Columbo, the first woman to swim on the moon, and Anthony I9eBenedictis, the news commentator, will be the first man to bite a dog, while Frances DeLairro and Eileen DeMers are the first to cross Oakdale Square alive, it one understands what the widow means. Ah! a kennel owned by Mae De Pastene, a stable by Rose Di Virgilio. What say you to Joseph Manna’s exposition, an expert on the works of William Shakespeare is he; his assistant James O’Neil will work at his side, a critic of modern and prehistoric art. Mistress Shirley Alber will future with a most delightful millionaire and a millionairess will marry Henry Maloney, a grease monkey, a species, I suppose, of those comic creatures recently imported from Page 44 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL the East. Margaret Payne, horror! horror! horror! will invent a new system of shorthand. A bloody business, that.” At this point Goodman Wheelock takes the book, ' Til tell you the remainder lads, for now begins the second and last section of the prophecy, ’tis written by one not yet born but obtained by the widow, a future historian of this town, one Richard Dedham, so it begins.” I, not yet born, so see these things, three hundred and five years from now. First is he in Dorothy Lipps’ Beauty Parlor, where is sold at goodly prices, beauty. Cieorge Hoffmann, who is the truth anel secretly, a blond, is having his hair dyed ' red’ while Nancy Spiers’ freckles are being bleached. A manicurist, Catherine Montisano, striveth to give the poet, Peter Madonna, a manicure but faileth because he cheweth his nails. Gloria Nelson worketh as Miss Lipps’ operator and curleth Edward Burke’s h.iir (such ridiculousness!)” ' ' Now we enter the boathouse of Charles Glover and Russell Birchall. ’Tis a house for boats and has e’en what is termed a ' recreation room’ for sinful things like games. There John Donovan likes to play with a gentleman of Chinese parentage named Paddle, whose first name be’eth Ping Pong. Often they hold canoe races, judged by John Bready. ’Tis Elaine Anderson who ever wins with John Busser second and John DePaoli the boobylist. Jean Dunbar on one occasion receives a ducking, when in her e.xcitement at the race she topples from the bridge, but she is lescued by the lifeguard, Robert Donovan.” A drug store, these people sell drugs! Here is John Campbell, owner, and Betty Fallon, soda jerker. Here e’en are (oh sinful sin) two dancing, singing wait- resses, Marion Erappeid and Marjorie Herbert (Goodman Wheelock’s brow is by this time deeply furrowed with worry for tomorrow’s citizenry).” ' ' Replacing the town crier Granther Higgins, is the Dedham Transcript editor, Barbara Bell. Within its office much happens. Evelyn Donovan rusheth in and ovit with social news, Alan Menice sports news, and Stephen LeVangie with funny papers.” (This Transcript soundeth not like Granther.) ' ' Clothes are modeled by Jane Ayres and Dorothy Christian in Beverly Eichler’s L. ' tclusive (for people and animals) Shop. Therein is trio Rockstroir., Rotliwell, and Russell. Elsie designs dresses, James men’s handpainted neckties, and Sheila, women’s hats. Now enters he into Stella Mucciaccio’s Restaurant (for men only). One, Frank Sherman, is in charge of making certain that none but high grade arsenic entereth into the beans. Irene Lingley is the hat check girl and Joy Pendergast sells some sweet sounding things called ' cigarettes’. There is a ' lloor show’ so called, in which Dona Donelan therein plays the flute while Richard Lambert tap-dances. Here also is the professional comedian, John Lund, who crackest nuts with his teeth and vice versa. William O’Neil plays well at the harp, but lacks, it would seem, a halo. There playeth Pauline Nickerson’s Orchestra wherein is Elaine Butler and her drums. Eucy Zinni is a sten-stenographer (a queer word) to Joseph Lawler, president of I ' ilene’s and .Sons. Methinks this bilene be’eth a merchant in Boston Town. He h.is much trouble with complaints from Caroline bate, an heiress. 1 Icre is listed John Quinn, the basement manager who straighteneth out the problems.” Please sir, what is a basement? Is it where one goes who fails to enter heaven?” Goodman Wheelock smiles and shakes his head. A hot dog stand?” What is it? Jean Conlon will own one and will sell such roasted monsters to bus driver DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Page 45 Margery Chamberlain and truck driver Thomas Whitten. Joseph Vcntresco eats there too, for he must, as Chief Bridge Inspector inspect the bridge built by engineer Jean Donovan on which bridge is Mistress Conlon’s stand. Eleanor Nelson it is who cooketh the beasts.” And now for Carol Woodward’s Date Bureau. Verily will these people of my dav enjoy foreign fruit to have a date bureau. Violet McMasters soothes lovers’ quar- rels. Robert Winthrop (most obviously an Indian) ' drums up’ business by causing maidens to swoon at his voice and so helpeth also his friend Vido DeFelice, the Under- taker. Irving John Alden Negrini handleth proposals, and jeweler Betty Browne furn- isheth the diamonds.” Now as I stand in Richard McCarthy’s Blue Moon Swank Club, beside its hostess, F.dna Reska, Robert Ray, noted pianist entereth with his one and only (Arc not they all?) songstress Dorothy Rosica. Eileen Foley, the first woman President of the United States cometh in compan) ' with her secretary Jean Parker. Yonder be Mary Rogers and William Liberator, noted opera stars of the Met who sing three selections liom II Trovatore”. Ethel Streeter, noted photographer, is present likewise, taking pictures of the famous fashion designer, Betty Stahl. Charlotte LaCroix, alas com- plaineth of her soup. I go with her to the kitchen to find the head waiter, James Fiazard. Stanley MacNevin we find washing dishes and bewailing his dishpan hands lor Dick McCarthy wdl not get Ivory soap for the hands some girl would love to touch. I needs must leave by the rear door as Mister McCarthy likes not those who fail to pay their debts.” Now am I in the hospital with Charles Ward, whose new car did break up on a tree. The first guest to visit is Warren Armstrong, the insurance agent, who must have been admitted by the so-termed receptionist, Arlene Scherber. The patient is operated upon by Doctor Ann Peterson and attended most carefully by nurses Edith Sias and Pat Sullivan. Ah, Evelyn E)rakc bringeth now roses from Carl Rose s ( Roses a Specialty”) Flower Shop. Charles even haveth Jean Staples, occupational therapist, to keep him company, and so I leave him and the future. And now do I enter a most strange and sinful place, the Dedham Community ' Eheatre. Fierc is manager George Rimelman and usher Arthur Walker, who carries a strange candle. Alice Fitzhenry it is who selleth candy and methinks her best customer is one Eleanor Lizio, a model. William Rinn runs some strange machine called a movie projector. All is odd here; it is dark and woe to him who dareth to step on the corn of l.inda Goehring, the temperamental primadona, or Helen I ' erris, master of some strange defense known as jiu jitsu.” Thus endeth (writeth the widow) this my prophecy of IDedham High School class of 194C” Goodman Wheelock closed the book and smiled, Mad ravings of a mad woman, 1 understand not the terms, the words, or the occupations. Remember this is most certainly witchcraft, and so impossible since witchcraft was decreed to not exist.” It grows dark. Come, let’s be off.” The door is locked behind the three, so in the gathering gloom, no one beholds the v ' olumn on the desk, being transformed, crumbling slowly to dust; no one beholds the mysterious breeze which springs up and scatters those remains until they are no more. Gone forever, these secrets are returned to the future, and the little school house seems to rest easier in their absence. It sighs and purring blissfully bathes itself in the silvery moonlight of April, 1645. Page 46 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL o, r umzu tionS SENIORS JUNIORS a SKATED . Francis Hickey, president.

Hcaphy’s football team established one of the finest records in the annuals of sport at Dedham High School with an undefeated and unscored upon slate which included one hundred and seventy-two points for Dedham and nothing for the opponents. The team got off to an auspicious start b ' defeating Johnny Prior’s strong Malden Catholic team, 13-0. In the next game St. Mary’s of Waltham was outclassed, 46-0. North Quincy stiftered its first defeat of the season, 20-0, as Dedham’s ace quarterback, Irving Negrini, played his last game before joining the army. Needham was the next victim to the tune of 14-0. Our H ' de Park neighbors came to Stone Park full of hope only to be turned back, 26-0. There was no armistice on November eleventh as far as Weymouth was concerned. They were out to continue their jinx over Dedham. Although they did not add to their string of victories, the Weymouth boys did succeed in fighting their way into one of the most nerve wracking stalemates in years. FInquestionablv this scoreless tie was the most exciting game of the year. In the annual Thanksgiving Day classic with Norwood, the Dedham team broke .•■nother record when they ran up a 40-0 score. Post season all-star honors were conferred upon Carl Robinson, Bob Ray, and Frank Hickey with honorable mention for John Flanagan and Mike Stivaletta. The following seniors saw action: Ends: Eddie Cluff, Jerry O’Neil, and Charlie Clement. Tackles: Frank Hickey, Russell Birchall, John Donovan, Richard Lambert, and Joseph Ventresco. (juards: Richard McCarthy, John Busser, Henry Maloney. CAnter: Carl Robinson. Backs: Irv. Negrini, Tony DeBenedictis, John Flanagan, Jim Hazard, Gene Smith, and Capt. Bob Ray.

The 1944-45 b.tsketb.ill team under the direction of Coach Edwin T. Peterson assisted by John F. Heaphy enjoyed a good season, winning seven and losing four games, despite the loss of several star performers to the armed forces and its captain due to an injury. Captain Francis Hickey was injured in a pre-season practice game and was unable to participate during the regular season.

Of the forty games played six ended in ties, and fifteen others were decided by one point. The intense drama of these games may be realized by the fact that seven of the forty games were decided in the final ten seconds. The Dedham team scored the highest number of goals while fewer goals were scored against them than on any other team. Captain Henry Maloney, Francis Nee, Robert Ray, and Vido DeFeliece were selected as members of the Eastern Mass. All-Star first team while Edward Burke and Edward Houston were picked on the second team. This is the first time in the history of hockey at D.H.S. that all six members of the team won all-star honors. The first team defeated the Bay State All-Stars, three to two, with Nee scoring the first goal on an assist by Maloney. Two days later the Greater Boston y ll-Stars proved too difficult with a 2-0 score. The Eastern second team lost to the Bay State seconds, S-2, but Houston and Burke figured in both goals. Vido DeFelice had the best record of any schoolbov goalie this season. Henry NEaloney was picked on a radio survey as the most valuable player in the league for the 1944-45 season. Maloney established a world’s record when he scored a goal in three seconds from a center ice face-off in the last game against Somerville. Nee, Maloney, and Burke were the high scoring line of the league while Ray and Houston were selected by opponents as the most capable defense pair. Page 60 DEDHAM HIGH SCHOOL Most oi the schools in this section dropped indoor track due to conditions brought about by the war such as transportation, equipment, and boys working in the after- noons. Dedham was represented at the Massachusetts High School Athletic Association Meet in the Boston Garden by Bob Ra ’ and John Flanagan. Ray won the twelve pound shotput and Flanagan was runner-up in the three hundred yards run giving Dedham eight points and fifth place in a held of twenty-eight schools. These two boys proved to be a pretty good track team. The outdoor season has started out very well. Between forty and hfty boys are training. Mike Stiveletta, Bob Ray, John Flanagan, and Carl Robinson arc seniors who should score many points for Dedham this spring. Coach Edwin T. Peterson expects a good season. The schedule follows: April 27 — Triangular Meet at Norwood Dedham, Norwood and Walpole May 7 — Dual Meet Brookline at Dedham May 1 1 — Dual Meet Walpole at Dedham May H — Triangular Meet at Dedham B. C. High School, Norwood, and Dedham May 21 — Dual Meet Dedham at Watertown May 26 — State Meet at Newton For the hrst time in three seasons Dedham High School has a baseball team. Due to the eflForts of the Athletic Association, the School Committee, and interesed citizens the annual town meeting appropriated funds for a baseball held at Memorial Park. Due to the lack of practice facilities the team got off to a late start, but the con- struction of a temporary diamond has made it possible to arrange a brief schedule. Flowever, it may be revealed at this time that next season Dedham will again take its place among the leaders of the scholastic baseball world. Not only will the varsity program be enlarged, but there will be a greatly expanded system of intramural baseball as well as other sports. The 194 squad is composed of the following: Pitchers: Fimbree, Paul; Keany, Walter Catchers: Flanagan, John First base: O’Neil, Joseph Second base: Robinson, Carl Third base: Steele, John; Winbourne, George Short stop: Papasedero, Francis; Scampoli, Anthony Left held: Stivaletta, Michael Center held: O’Neil, James Right held: Carty, Kenneth; Quinn, Francis Schedule April May 6, N.
