Four years, laughter and sadness, study and play, together and alone, remembered years, swiftly gone, leaving only the scattered memory. And this final year, for '53, was the most wonderful of all. 3 DEDICHTIUH if -1 ALLAN G .

This year, Miss Brown appointed a staff for the first half of the year and anotherfor the last half. ln this way, the students learn to be reporters as well as typists.

The game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement, several valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions: for life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in which there is a vast variety of good and ill events that are, in some degree, the effect of prudence or the want of ii .

The Pro Merito Society consists of students who have attained an average of 859: or better during their 4 years in high school. The society has memberships in high schools throughout the nation and is recognized as honoring good work well done. 46 1 A ClllSS llllll We, the class of l953, being of sound minds and bodies, do hereby leave the following to our buddies, friends, and otherwise, namely, teachers: To Mr. Osborne we leave a loud-speaker, so thatwhen he has to reprimand the students, he will not have to raise his voice over the din. To Miss Harris we leave some rubber gloves, so that when using the office machine fluids, they will leave her manicure complete unmussed. To Mr. Tinker we leave our thanks, our appreciation, and our friendship: Our thanks for leadership and the example of fairness, integrity and character, our appreciation ofa iob well done, our friendship now and in the unknown years to come for all these things. To Mrs. La Plante we leave aset of electric typewriters so thatmore of the students will get a charge out of typewriting. To Mr. Manns we leave Charlie Wabech as a speciman to be studied in his next Biology class. To Mrs. Mac Kay we leave some more angels to take the place of the Senior class. To Mr. Frigard we leave Foxy to fill the fullback position, and we hope that he will do as good a iob as Chet has. To Mrs. Garber we leave some of the girls from the incoming Freshman class for the girl's basketball team, and we hope they will do as well, and much better, than the post years team has. To Mr. Owers we leave a brand new agriculture class that will get all A's in every subiect, including aggie. To Miss Peterson we leavea supply of sandpaper so that when she has 3:00 get-togethers, everyone will be kept busy. To Mr. Wolfram we leave a Cadillac convertible in place of his '36 Chevie. To Miss Brown we leave our appreciation for everything she's done for us, and our best wishes for success in her future education. To Mr. Gabelwe leave some artists to take the place of the two Seniors who have done so much in that line of work. To Mrs. Decker we leave two assistants so that she will not have to try to direct music and watch the sopranos that also sit in the back and make noise. To Mr. Keniston we leave our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all he has done for our class during the past three years. Alice Boyden leaves some of her poise to Bonnie Wroblewski, hoping that Bonnie will conduct herself like a lady at all times. Walt Paciorek leaves his beauty parlor waves to Ronald Patterson,and hopes they may aid Ronald in getting girlfriends. Arlene Guyotte bequeaths her favorite pastime,gum-chewing, to Steven Zentara. Who knows, he may get the habit after a while. Charlie Vickowski leaves his desk full of books to Malcolm Siddell. Maybe Malcolm will settle down andstudy a little. lt could be that he'll treat them iust as Charlie has for the past four years, though. Virginia St. Peter leaves to Charlotte Grybko her dark hair and nice brown eyes. 47 Charlie Parker leaves a foot of his height to Franny Zdanowicz, who could easily use it. Lucy Nartowicz leaves with Freddy. Conrad Valeski wills to Billy Lankarge hisability for all A's in typewriting, and we know Mrs. La Plante will never have to raise her voice to Bill. Barbara Charsky leaves to Celia Marchefka her ability to getalong with her classmates, hoping that Celia will try her best to be on the best of terms at all times. Butch Graves leaves. He figures it's about time. Rose Olson bequeaths all her troubles in study hall to Yolanda Russo, who never seems to have many . Dick Scoville leaves for Nancy Maynard's house. Barbara Sodoski leaves her power for mystifying Mr. Keniston to Shirley Wells and we hope he won't have as much trouble figuring her out as he has had with Barbara. Bill Harrison leaves to Ed Pelis the distance between his house and the school, wishing that Ed would think of the distance before doing something that he'll have to stay after for. Nancy Maynard bequeaths her pep and vim on the cheering squad to Margery Podlesney, and we all know that Marg will be as good a cheerleader as Nan has been. Chet Wysk leaves his ability on the basketball floor to John Stobierski, and hopes that John will use it as Chet has during his four years. Mary Lou Malinowski wills her popularity with the boys to Eleanor Jackowski, who seems to have a pretty good start already. Don Grybko leaves for Sunderland. Nancy Maynard leaves her athletic ability to Carol Scott, who already seems to be quite an athlete. Ed Zdanowicz wills hisability to charm the girls to Ed Rose. We know G-ramp won't have any trouble at all. Robert Wilson leaves his nickname, brownie , to Guy Hosley, in hopes that it may make Guy aware that there are other rooms inthe building besides the office . It seems Guy is a regular and well-known visitor there. Connie Zukowski leaves her stream of continuous talking to Nancy Skribiski, and we are sure Mr. Keniston will not have a dull moment. Anthony Bechta bequeaths to Jeanette Radowicz his loud voice. He hopes she won't be quite so quiet. ln witness whereof, we, the class of 1953, do hereby set our hand and seal, this nine- teenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-three .

Ollie Pogo 4 8 IILHSS HISTUHU 1953 In September 1952, we returned to D.H.S. as Seniors. lt was hard to believe but we did finally realize it. Early in the year, we elected class officers to lead us through our most important days. We chose: President--Edward Zdanowiczp Vice- President--Conrad Valeski, Secretary--Barbara Sadoski, Treasurer-Connie Zukowski . At the same time we appointed our representatives for the student council. Donald Grybko, Walter Paciorek, and Edward Zdanowicz were elected. Eddie also served as President of the Student Council. In the sport-light, we found Conrad Valeski, William Harrison, Donald Grybko, Richard Scoville, Chester Wysk, Tony Bechta, and Eddie Zdanowicz receiving football letters. Five of the boys were outstanding on the basketball team. The boys on the team were: Chet Wysk, Eddie Zdanowicz, Walter Paciorek, Charlie Vickowski, and Tony Bechta. These boys sparked the team to victory at the Western Mass. Small Schools Tournament at the University. Nancy Maynard and Alice Boyclen served as co-captains of the girls' varsity basket- ball squad. Nancy Farrick, Nancy Maynard, and Barbara Sadoski, were cheerleaders on the varsity team and Mary Lou served on the second team this year. Some of these boys were also remarkable and valuable players on the Baseball team. They were: Eddie Zdanowicz, Chet Wysk, Tony Bechta, Charlie Vickowski, Conrad Valeski . At an assembly in the spring, Mr. Tinker announced that Alice Boyden was elected as D.A.R. Girl from the class of 53 . At a school election, Eddie Zdanowicz was elected representative of D.H.S. for Good Government Day and attended the state session in Boston. This year, we held the Senior Reception on June 5, with Gerry Lamothe and his orchestra furnishing the music . The gym was decorated in class colors witha graduation theme . Graduation, the next event and most important of our four years, was on June l9th, at which time we all went our separate ways. Virginia St. Peter 49 IIIHSS PHIIPHEIIU While strolling through Central Park one day in the year 1973, I came upon a smartly-dressed man feeding the pigeons. At a closer look, I found him to be none other than Bob Wilson, who had been one of my classmates back at D. H, S, I engaged Bob in conversation and found that he had become a man of the world, He had taken many trips to France and was now writing a book on his experiences, entitled, Ooh La La, I then proceeded to ask Bob if he had any news of the other members of the class of '53. He told me that iust the other day he had gone to the circus and had seen DonaldGrybko, who was billed as Daring Don, the Sizzling Fire Eater. Well, Donald always said he wanted a job that would keep him warm the rest of his life. Bob informed me that Barbara Charsky was also in the entertainment field. She and her trained monkey were one of the top acts at the Rainbow Room in Philadelphia. It seems that the monkey played the picino while Barbara sang. Just as I was leaving the park, someone tapped me on the shoulder and said, Hey lady, I got a hot tip on the fourth race at Hialiah. I turned and found Tony Bechta holding a racing form. He was surprised to see me and I assured him that I was not interested inany racing tips. I asked him where his bookmaking headquarters were, and he told me that they were in the back of a barbershop run by Bill Harrison. The victims had haircuts while waiting for the race results. Tony also informed me that Conrad Valeski had been elected Senator in the last election and planned to run for president in a few years. Right now he was on a golfing vacation in Georgia. I left Tony and during the next few weeks, Icollected the following bits of information about the rest of my class: Charlie Vickowski had set many basketball records while playing with the Boston Celtics, but recently had taken over as their new manager. All that exercise had become too much for him . Kenneth Graves was owner of a large cattle ranch in Texas which covered half the state, but he was thinking of buying more land. He felt a little crowded. Barbara Sadoski was now teaching back at Deerfield High School. The other 50 English teacher, Mr. Keniston, had wanted to retire after Fifty years of teaching, so Barbara has taken his place. Mary Lou Malinowski was a dress designer and had iust come back from Paris with some new ideas. This time, she'd surely sell some of her creations. Eddie Zdanowicz was one ofthe top pitchers For the Boston Red Sox, but the manager was getting disgusted. The only thing Eddie could pitch was no-hitters. Chet Wysk was a taxi driver in New York City. He got more business than any other driver, because he sang to his customers. Rose Olson was owner of a swanky beauty shop on Long Island. The shop was called The Wig. Rose's motto was, Come in, and you'll never be the same. Her best customer was Walter Paciorek, that society playboy, who was noted for lhis wavy hair. Virginia St. Peter was supervisor of nursesin a big hospital in Quebec. They spoke nothing but French there, and it was rumored that Virginia had forgotten how to speak English . The Woman's Golfing Championship had recently been won by Nancy Maynard, who had turned pro. From her golfing ability, she had earned the nickname ofBabe. Alice Boyden was a swimming instructor at Harvard University. She was popular with her students because of her excellent technique, in swimming of course. Dick Scoville was president ofa tobacco company in Connecticut. I guess he really knew his snuff. Arlene Guyotte had won national acclaim for some of her paintings at a secent art exhibit. She had always loved to dabble in oils. Nancy Farrick was employed by the Kodak Company. She braided the straps for Brownie Cameras. Charlie Parker was ace photographer for the New York Times. He would have taken some sensational shots but usually forgot the film. Lucy Nartowicz was secretary to the President of the Boston and Maine Railroad Company. She had always wanted to travel, but this was the closest she had ever come to it. 51 CLASS SONG fTune: ln The Garden l We leave Deerfield High School behind While our hearts feel ever so sad, When the dreams we share With the dawn will fare The praise we give will gladden, And we look again, at our dear old school The place we always will love, Oh, what memories we hold Of our blue and gold While the sun shines high above. . . .Virginia St. Peter CLASS POEM In Fall the Hills were golden, The days were bronze and gold, The leaves were falling softly, The nights were frosty cold, The crystal days of winter Made a world of white, The winds were sharp and bitter And long the silent night, And when the days grew longer And Springtime touched the world We heard the birds at dawning, We saw the leaves unfurled, And when, in June, we parted, In the Summer dawn, We had the lovely memory Of Golden seasons gone. 52 President--Edward Zdonowicz Vice-President--Conrad Voleski Secre tory- -Barbara Scdoski ULHSS UFFICEHS 1953 Most Most Most Most Most Most Popular Girl , , Popular Boy , , Promising Girl Promising Boy , BrilliantGirl, , Brilliant Boy , Most Mischievous Girl Most Mischievous Boy Most Agreeable Girl , Most Agreeable Boy , Most Businesslike , Best Dressed Girl , , Best Dressed Boy , , Best Humored Girl , Best Humored Boy , , Best Actress , , , Best Actor , , Best Girl Athlete , , Sllllllll SUPERLHTIVES , Connie Zukowski , Eddie Zdanowicz , , Virginia St. Peter , , Conrad Voleski , Alice Boyden Conrad Valeski , ,Barbara Sodoski I , Donald Grybko , , Barbara Charsky , Charlie Parker , , Walter Paciorek , , ,Alice Boyden , Charlie Vickowski , , , Rose Olson , , Robert Wilson Mary Lou Malinowski , Richard Scoville , , Nancy Maynard Best Boy Athlete Peppiest Girl. .

John Langow Vlllfllllllllllll Heights by great men, Reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flightg But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. Not what we might have been, but what we have been and what we are makes us the one and only, ever memorable class of '53, Four years have slipped by for the whole world, and today as we stand here for the first and last time we realize that for us, too,four years are gone. They were four wonderful years and we can say with sincerity that we are proud to be graduating ftom Deerfield High School. Pleasant memories of these years will be with us always. ln your garden of memory you may plant kind thoughts and deeds, little gems of songs, poetry and wise sayings . You may record beautiful pictures you have seen, interesting places you have visited, memories of friends, love tokens of the past, happy thoughts, glad tidings, fond hopes and, oh, so many treasures which may be brought out at will and gone over during wakeful hours, or times when illness lays you low. Keep your garden of memory beautiful. Store up treasures where rust does not corrode and thieves cannot break in and steal . Memories come to us now- We remember the first time we went out for basketball, or softball, or football. We were not heroes the first year. By years of work and training we have learned that things worth while are worth waiting and striving for. Our goals may seem far off, especiallywith the prospect of years in the service for some, years of study for others. These are but single steps toward that distant goal. There are memories of the school and this beautiful gym, but above rhese shine the friendships we have made. Together we have grown in knowledge, but perhaps the hardest lesson for us to master was the art of cooperation. Our instructors, who have with patience and courage lecl us toward greater knowledge, are not the least in our minds at this time. We owe them our gratitude and thank them for carrying out the task entrusted to their care. Our class spirit, as we see it today, was never one of conformity. lts integrity and originality are typical of the enthusiasm and nonconformity of youth that will never die as long as men live, breathe, and think freedom. Today we are looking with hope to whatever the future brings. We see materialism drastically opposed to ideals and mixed with values. Our gravest threat from without in- volves a philosophy anda movementbased upon a materialistic evaluation of mankind. We may ourselves be too materialistic for our own good. Certainly the fulfillment of our re- sponsibilities as leader of the free peoples of the world will demand not only political wisdom, economic stability and military might, but it will also demand all the moral and.spiritual strength we as a people can muster . Having faith is vital to success. Democracy is a moral value and the future of democracy is not in the hands of fate but in ours. Everything without tells us we are nothing, everything within persuades uswe are every- thing. We will, of course, have handicaps and hurdles--everyone does--but it is in over- coming these and shaping theminto a life, our life, that makes us great or small according to our vision and our will to do. With this graduation the members of the class of '53 complete the 4th and final chapter of their life together. But though we review our past with pride and satisfaction, we see no reason for complacence. The iob immediately ahead is too challenging, too full of opportunity to admit of any regrets, even for the parting of a great class. 59 ' A fb QW- .-I 4 f D -Jw IIUHIHIEIIIIEHIEIIT 1953 60 CLASS OF 1925 Mary Sokoloski Chandler CLASS OF 1926 Florida Lamery O'Connor CLASS OF 1927 Robert Gorey Harriet Klinker fSister Mary Aloysia Contribution Sponsoredj Franklin Mono CLASS OF 1928 Marjorie Keyes Baston Bianca Gorey Thomas Alfred Drew CLAss OF 1929 Marie Maiewski Cadieux Joseph Nieckoski Earl Cowan Julia Kostecky Minott Stanley E.
