Reed Speaking At the request of the Editors, your Head Master submits the following facts concern- ing his Education, Hobbies, and Philosophy of Life . Born in Waltham, he graduated from the high school there in 19oo, from Harvard College CA. B. Magna cum Laudej in 1904, and received his M. A. degree from the Harvard Graduate School in 1905. He began his teaching that year in the Brunswick School, Greenwich, Connecticut, was at Milton Academy 1906- 7, and from there went to the Horace Mann High School of the Teachers' College of Columbia University. At Columbia, where as a member of the faculty he came to know personally many of its outstanding men, he completed the requirements for the Doctorate in Education, except for the required dissertation. In September 1911, he re- turned to Massachusetts to teach in the Public Latin School where he remained until September 1925, when he went to the English High School as Head of the Department of Latin and German. In January, IQBQ, he was called from his classes to head the school when Mr. Downey, at the request of Governor Saltonstall, became Commissioner of Education. Designated by the School Committee as Acting Head Master, Mr. Reed continued to hold that title until he was promoted to the position of Head Master of Charlestown High School in September 1941. He remained at English , however, while Mr. John J, Connelly, Head of the Department of Mathematics at English High, and also fondly remembered at Dore- chester High as a most friendly and expert teacher, directed Charlestown as Acting Head. On February 2, 1942, Mr. Reed was formally transferred to the English High School, sorry that he had not found time to visit the school of which he had for seven months been titular head. On September 1, IQ43, when Mr. Downey resigned the Commissionership, Mr. Reed was transferred to Dorchester, to fill the position left vacant by the retirement of Mr. Regan. As for Recreation and Hobbies , your Head Master has always been fond of books, gardening, boating, shooting, and fishing. As he grew older, however, like Henry Thoreau he put away rifle and gun, thankful that he could still use his fishing rod without qualms. He has always liked to putter with tools, a profltable hobby for one burdened with possessions. He believes that the educational opportunities which our country offers so freely should be better appreciated by our younger generation -that the future not only of our youth, but even of our country, depends on a more intelligent understanding of our present problems, and of the problems of the post-war world. He does not believe that radio or movies can take the place of reading, nor that any progressive methods can be substituted for books. He is con- vinced that much study, home study, must supplement school instruction, -that we otherwise fail to progress towards the goal of a truly literate nation. We must either face this issue, or else relinquish the freedoms of our democratic institutions. Let me finish by thanking you for your cooperative spirit, for your friendly attitude towards me. Our time together has been too short for us to become really acquainted one with another. We hate to see you go, knowing what you must face in the immediate future. But we look to you, and to the others who will take your place, for assistance in making our school outstanding, not only in attendance and punctuality and athletics, but also in scholar- ship, which is, after all, one of the chief functions of a school. Let us all work together to- wards that end. page three The RED and BLACK Yearbook Published by the students of the ll0BCllES'l'EIR HIGH SCll00L for BOYS Dorchester, Dlassachusetts VOL.

X-:-f'S . ll page twenty-five History of the Senior Class by .KQCWL 46145 When some two hundred and fifty students step to the platform soon to receive their diplomas, some in person and others Cthose in service? by proxy, the last class that entered Dorchester High in days of peace will leave, carrying with them pleasant memories and knowledge. Most members of the class of ,44 came here in September, 1941 when the United States was at peace with the world. They roamed the corridors, bewildered and awed at high school life. After the Hrst few trying weeks, they became familiar with room numbers and began to understand the idiosyncrasies of upper-classmen. But in December, on a beautiful Sunday morning, the cherished light of peace was ex- tinguished until another day. Monday morning, December 8, 1941, is a day that will forever live in the history of Dorchester High. Tense and nervous students, shocked by this sudden challenge to all Americans, gathered at noon in Room IO6 where a portable radio was con- nected to hear President Roosevelt ask Congress to declare that 'Aa state of war exists between the government and people of the United States and the Japanese Empire. Later in the day ltaly and Germany joined her confederates and the Allies had three formidable enemies to conquer. That very afternoon, a threat of air attack was sounded and the inadequate air raid de- fenses in the school were realized and soon corrected. With every battle we lost in those early days of the war, there came the news of brave Dorchester men, news of their loyalty and de- votion to their country. The class of '44 is proud of each and every one of them. In '41 - '42, Dorchester turned out a great football team that lost only one game and tied one, winning all others. Sports and other extra-curricular activities flourished. page twenty-six And in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of Prize Drill. We sent two regi- ments out to compete. The cool winds came with September and enrollment at Dorchester began its steady de- crease. The faculty shrugged its collective shoulders and muttered, C'est la guerreln The football team tried hard, but its power was fighting for Uncle Sam. So, only one game saw the 'Red and Black' eleven emerge victori- ous. The hockey season was almost as bad. The senior class was only a name. We, juniors. became the highest upper-classmen. Summer rolled around again and teacher and student sought employment in war factories. Both worked side by side as the men behind the men behind the guns. It was a hot summer. lt was that summer that brought the turning point in the war. The Russians kept on rolling. The Allies landed in Africa. MacArthur was pounding away at the Japs. Guadalcanal be- came a name emblazoned upon every American heart, synonomous with bravery, courage, and patriotism. We began to reap the bitter harvest of war. Gold Stars in windows, sick boys coming home, more undergraduates going to take their places. Our year as seniors began. Came the custom- ary rush for pictures, rings, yearbook, class dues et cetera. The senior prom never material- ized. Soon, the class began to shrink. By February, scores had departed for colleges and universities, for work, for service. On June 9, we gather to bid au revoir to the familiar corridors and rooms, and we'll shake the hands of men Qmaybe for the last timed who have guided and helped us to be- come better American citizens. O, Dorchester, how proudly you stand. And as we'll pass through your gates, diplomas in hand, you will hear us softly murmur, A'God bless you, Alma Mater.

But it does mean supporting your teams through defeat as well as victory. lt doesn't simply mean joining every organization and then relaxing while George does the work. lt means doing things that will be a credit and honor to your school. lt means being clean and fair in sports, and thus clean and fair in life. A member of the faculty once said, The school is what you Cthe studentj make it. To a certain extent he was right, but the school is also what the headmaster tries to make it. Albert F. Reed, our new headmaster, has put Dorchester back on the map again. School spirit here was never dead. lt was not aroused. Let us be frank about this and face the facts. Since Mr. Reed became headmaster, We have seen some of the greatest attendance at sport competitions since the inception of Dorchester High. For the lirst time in many years we actually Won a track meet. Why? Because there was spirit in the hearts of those pigskin luggers, puckmen, hoopsters, and marathoners that was absent before. Mr. Reed made a sen- sational debut at Dorchester. The students appreciate his efforts. This volume is another deviation from the past rule. Previous to this year, Red and Black Yearbooks were bound in cardboard. Weekly assemblies have brought headmaster and student closer together. Mr. Reed is to be commended for this too. The appearance of the lunchroom is another feather in our headmaster's cap. But one could continue endlessly elaborating upon the improvements wrought by Mr. Reed. Through his efforts and that of the students. school spirit has come to life again and the headmaster might fittingly be called the Spirit of '44 Leon Fox page thirty l Ten Years Hence iq Qaida It is the year 1954. Two alumni from Dor- chester are visiting the school. As they walk into the empty rooms, memories of old class- mates appear. Eirst seat, Hrst row was occupied by Harris Holstein. You know, the guy the yanking. lt is said Harris more teeth in ten minutes than dentists in one hour. The only that does all can pull out can any two one than can pull out nearly as many as Harris is Teddy Golan. Behind him used to be Leon Eox, who is now editor-in-chief of Lookie magazine. ln the next Hve seats sat, what turned out to be the U. S. Olympic team: Sheldon Nitenson, Pete Laudansky, Herb Weinstein, Ed Potish and Sonny Krauthamer. Behind that group of athletes was George Schwartz, one of the pre- minent sawbones of the day. That inventor of screwy gadgets, Sid Kauf- man, was the proprietor of the last seat in the row. lt is said a person cannot enter Kauf- man's house without first being Hngerprinted, mugged, and examined for any dangerous weapons. This is in the interest of protecting his thousands of inventions. The first desk in the next row was Malcolm Reed's. Professor Reed is now head of a board of engineering professors. The board is made up of William Holliver, Milton Kushner, Don- ald Hall, Joseph Revis and Lester Sable. Mel- vin Goverman does all the drawing of blue- prints for this renowned group of talented men. inseparables, Joseph McCarthy and Robert Mar- Music notes carved on the desk-cover indicate. that the leader of the band, Norman Crosby, was around. Normy heads the Swill-harmonic Orchestra consisting in part of Sterling Camp- bell, Mel Roberts, Sid Shanbar and those two inseparable, Joseph McCarthy and Robert Mar- shall. The fourth seat in that aisle was Sidney Modell's. Mr. Bonney has retired and Modell has replaced him as head of the History De- partment. That famed concoctionist of triple. hot-fudge, marshmallow, and nut ice-cream sodas Charlie Gilman was behind Sid. The famous gladiator, Ralph Canvas-back Ger- sony used to fill up the space behind Charlie. Another change has taken place in the Dor- chester faculty with Edward Botan taking over the duties of Mr. Campbell. Eddie dabbles in the world of crawling things. lt must be noted that all the major networks are under the supervision of Dorchester alumni. The head of WNUT is Jason Yafi, head of WEEP is Kenneth Leondar, head of WACKY is Sidney Levin, and last of the major networks is run by Elliott Goldman. At the beginning of the next tier we have Bernard Kaiser. Billie is raking in the Shekels, as he is the foremost C. P. A. in the country. Ranking next to Bill is Sumner Eox, who guarantees to juggle your income tax in one easy lesson. The second Pult CDanke Schon, Herr Dnl was the one taken by Richard Pliskin. Richie, for obvious reasons, is a star cheese sales- man. Gene Ratto sat in the third seat. Ratto was signed by the Chicago Bears after he left Dunbar. Through his efforts he has secured positions for Bob Gould, Neal Blair, Pinky Issner, Harpo Bertazzoni, Joe Melchin and Gwynne Edwards on the team. This unbeatable combination is trampling all opponents and winning cups year after year. The next desk was Herby Schwartz's. Herby and Walter Weiner have gone into the dress business. They spend hour upon hour watch- ing their dresses being modelled by Ledy Hamarr and Tana Lurner. Not a bad business, eh! Next was Eddie Connelly. Connelly with Leon Axelbaum, Donald Cathcart, and Donald Kogos compose the board of air strategy. It was way back in the year 1944 when those four, four-starred generals took their boot training to- gether, at Greensboro, N. C. The navy is be- ing ably handled by l'Vice -Admirals Robert McGrail and Phil Houten, while Bill Coughlin is in charge of land operations. The next-to-the-last seat was Harold Rose's.

H. 6 The lightest Dorchester eleven in two decades, coached by Bill Pendergast, stepped out on the turf at Braves Field and showed what courage, hustle, and that never-say-die spirit could mean in a football game. Employing speed and de- ception, it toppled the highly-rated Boston College High Eaglets from their lofty perch, with a thump that echoed throughout the Boston Conference. THE GAME Dorchester kicked off, and the honors were rather even until the latter part of the period when the Maroon and Gold suddenly mouse- trapped almost the entire Dorchester line and fleet Charley Winchester scampered through the gaping hole for 79 yards and a touchdown. The try for the point failed. With Gene Ratto and Paul Farrell running superbly, the Dorches- ter eleven stormed up and down the field for the rest of the half, but never once could they cross into pay dirt. The score stood 6 - o starting the final period. Then on a series of crossbucks with Ratto carry- ing, the Red and Black moved to the B. C. H. one yard line, from where Ratto plunged over. The try for the point failed, and the score was tied 6 - 6. After the kickoff, a Franny Martin punt set B. C. H. back on their own ten. With but eighteen seconds left to play, Win- chester went back to pass. A horde of Dor- chester linemen swarmed over him, knocking the ball from his grasp. The alert Hurstack pounced on the ball in the end zone for six points. He then calmly converted and a few seconds later, the game ended. It was a great victory but also a costly one. Paulie Farrell injured his leg shortly after the third period got underway and had to be assisted from the field. This game merely confirmed Coach Pendergast's statement at the first practice session - that to have a winner this season, the team must be alert, have speed, and deception along with plenty of fight. THE HIGHLIGHTS Change of Gene Ratto from blocking back of last year to this year's driving fullback. Franny Martin's great choice of plays and fine clutch kicking. Bob Gould's stellar play at defensive left guard. Hurstack's place kicking. LATIN I8 DORCHESTER 7 Anyone who saw this game will have nothing but praise for the fighting lightweights from Dunbar Avenue. They fought a much heavier Latin school team to a standstill throughout the first half, but were nnally subdued in the second session when their lack of reserve strength proved too great a handicap, plus a howling wind that was responsible for Latin's first two scores. THE GAME Dorchester received the kickoff and after an exchange of punts Hurstack recovered a Latin fumble on the latter's forty-yard stripe. Ratto and Dolan made it a first down on the twenty Seven. The Red and Black passing attack was stopped and Latin took over on downs. After a short punt exchange, the Purple and White again fumbled and Norton recovered on the Latin forty-five. Dolan then completed a pass to McDonough, but Mickey, sporting a sprained thumb, couldn't grip the ball securely and it flew from his grasp into the arms of a charging defender. This just about ended the Red and Black offense for the first half as Latin, with the wind at its back, kept the leather deep in Dorchester territory. Thrice the strong forward wall backed up by HWhitey Norton and Harpo Bertazzoni repulsed the hard charging Latins only 8 yards from pay dirt. At the start of the third period the wind was still with the Purple and White, and after a one sided punt exchange, Latin took over on the Dorchester thirty-four. Five plays later and they had chalked up the first score of the game on a pass from Harwood to Gallagher. Later in the same period, a Martin punt into the wind could only reach the twenty and Latin page thirty-Hue dusted off the old Statue of Liberty play with Gallagher going over standing up. The Red and Black seemed on the move in the fourth period when Dolan tossed a fifteen yard bullet to Norton, but on the next play, Gallagh- er intercepted and scampered sixty yards for his and Latin's eighteenth point. All of Latin's attempts at conversions failed. Taking the en- suing kickoff on his own twenty-nine, Captain personally averted a shutout by fading from the onrushing Latins and flying the right sideline for his second score of Ratto away down the year. Hurstack showed the Latins how, when he booted a perfect placement. A few moments later, the game ended. IN THE SPOTLIGHT Gene Ratto - SEVENTY-ONE YARDS J WOW!! Whitey Norton - his backing up of the line was terrific. Harpo Bertazzoni - held the Red and Black defense together throughout that first half. TRADE 6 DGRCHESTER 2 It was an overconfident Red and Black eleven that ran out on the gridiron at Braves Field today. Eleven men came out of the clouds too late to turn defeat into victory. It was an offensive team that didn't have that extra punch to deliver the knockout blow. Twice the ball rested a scant three yards short of the Trade goal line, but twice a powerful Trade forward wall rose to successfully meet the oc- casion. THE GAME Dorchester received the kickoff but was stopped cold. Martin punted and Trade, on a series of wide end sweeps, moved to the five. Here the alert Hurstack broke through and re- covered a Tradesman fumble. The ensuing punt carried out to the twenty-five where Trade's Antzak gathered it in and sped down the far side line, outrunning the entire Red and Black eleven to chalk up a first period score. The try for the point failed. After the kickoff. the Dorchester offense began to click, and with Ratto and Bob McGrath running nicely, the ball was moved deep into Trade territory before a fumble ended the threat. Again employing their flankers and wide sweeps, Trade moved page thirty-six out to their own thirty-five. They lost the balls on downs. Then with nifty running by Captain Ratto, the leather was moved to the nine, Gene roared to the six. McGrath was stopped cold. Ratto went to the three. Whitey Norton was dropped for no gain and Trade took over. Neither team threatened thereafter, and as Bertazzoni intercepted a pass, the half ended. It wasn't until the latter part of the third period that the Red and Black attack began to go again. Here McGrath broke loose for twenty yards, A Martin to Norton pass went to the Trade thirty-five before Trade took over on downs. They c0uldn't move past the line of scrimmage and so punted to Ratto who bulled his way back ot the Trade forty. Ratto and Norton made a first down on the thirty. Kennedy passed to Norton to the twenty-one. He then threw to McDonough for a first down on the eleven. Whitey Norton then leaped into the air to bring down another Kennedy toss on the three. In two plays Ratto went to the one. Here Remi Kennedy went into the center of the line, but was thrown back and the last Dorchester threat was over. Rather than punt into the wind the Tradesman took an intentional safety. The game ended with a Tradesman intercepting a pass on his own twenty-five, DIMMED LIGHTS Remi Kennedy - his fine last period passing. Whitey Norton-his great receiving. ENGLISH 26 DORCHESTER 0 A mountainous English High eleven which had outscored its previous four opponents 140 - 0, almost met a stalemate when they en- countered the lighting fools from Dunbar Ave. Outweighed thirty pounds to the man, the Red and Black pushed the double blue all over the Held and only breakaway runs and long passes enabled English to pile up the score. THE GAME Gene Ratto took the opening kickoff and brought it out to his own 40. Ratto, Farrell, and Ratto again made it a first down on the English 40. Paul Farrell, playing his first game sinse the opener, broke loose for fifteen yards to the 25. In two smashes into the center of the line, Ratto roared to the 14. Farrell was stopped. Ratto went to the 12. Farrell's pass over the line was intercepted, and the longest Red and Black drive of the day was halted only twelve heart-breaking yards short of the uncrossed English goal line. Then, with Giles Powell doing most ofthe lugging, the powerful blue machine bulled to the Dorchester 15. The speedy Powell then tore through a gaping hole to go over for the Hrst score. The stubborn Red and Black line managed to keep the fleet English backs in check until late in the second quarter when a drive was started with Powell going over from the four. The third period was dominated by Dorchester, but each assault fell short. English counted twice in the final quarter against a tired Red and Black outfit that never gave up. The Hnal score English 26 - Dorchester o. BRIGHT SPOTS John Hurstack -All-scholastic bound. Joe Muley Melchin-Fifth man in the English Backneld. Paul Farrell -Fine comeback after missing the Trade and Latin games. Gene Ratto-This time for his blocking. DORCHESTER 20 MECHANIC ARTS o Although hampered by numerous penalties. the double-barreled attack of Farrell and Ratto Hnally swung into high gear today as they operated smoothly behind a fast charging forward wall to crush Anderson and Company. Only once did Mechanics threaten: and then only with the aid of a long forward pass. Whitey Norton averted what looked like a sure score when he brought down the Flying Artisan wingman from behind on the Dorchester 20. THE GAME Dorchester kicked off and the vaunted Buff and Blue offense was stopped dead. They punted to the Dorchester 25. With Farrell and Ratto alternating, the leather was moved to the Artisan 43 for a first down. The deceiving mousetrap play came into the picture and on four plays Paulie Farrell had gone to the seven. Ratto was stopped on the six. Then on two smashes into the line, Farrell Went over for the page thirty-seven first talley. Hurstack converted easily and Dor- chester led 7 - o. In the second period, after a Red and Black drive was halted, Mechanics elected to kick. A poor boot carried out to the 23 where Farrell gathered it in and snake- hipped his way through the bewildered Artisans for the second score. Although handicapped by a five yard penalty. Hurstack sent the leather looping through the uprights for his second straight conversion. Penalty followed penalty for the remainder of the period, and this factor halted the Red and Black from scoring at least one more touchdown. Shortly after the second half got underway, Dorchester found themselves in possession of the ball on the Artisan 32. Ratto and Farrell moved it to the 23. Gene then slid through a hole in the Artisans forward wall, shook off would-be tacklers, and scampered into pay dirt. A'Herdy broke the monotony by missing the conversion and the score stood 20 - o. Here Coach Pendergast sent in a whole new team. After the kick off, the Artisan attack began to click. But a likely looking touchdown drive was halted when Freddie Bush, reserve center. intercepted a stray Mechanic's aerial on their 45. The final period was marred by penalties. A seventy yard run into the end zone by Farrell on the final play of the game was nullified by an offside penalty. Final score-Dorchester 20 - Mechanics o. UNDER THE STARS Paul Farrell -Super Ball Totin! Gene Ratto - Ditto! The entire line -- From Joyce to Melchin DORCHESTER 26 COMMERCE o Paced by Captain Gene Ratto who performed the hat trick by scoring three touchdowns, the Red and Black romped over the pint-sized High School of Commerce in their annual Turkey Day get-together. The score was the highest hung up thus far in the Thanksgiving Day series. THE GAME Dorchester kicked off and after an exchange of punts, took over on the Commerce 47. In two thrusts, Farrell went to the thirty. Ratto shot through a huge hole and then fought his page thirty-eight way to the sixteen. Two plays were stopped on the fifteen, and then Gene went through on the same play, danced away from the safety man, and went into the end zone standing up. Johnny Hurstack accomplished his specialty and the score was 7 - o. The second period was two minutes old when the unstoppable Ratto again broke loose. Running like Gundar The Wonder, Gene raced 65 yards to chalk up his second tally. The score I3 - o. The second stringers took over at this point and drove deep into Commerce territory before losing the ball. Commerce took to the air, but Bob Darcy in- tercepted on the thirty. Darcy an dthen Dolan moved the leather to the 23. Hard-running Bob McGrath then swung the Commerce right end behind the finest blocking we've seen all year to register without being touched. The score read IQ - o at halftime. Commerce received the second half kickoff and immediately punted out to midfield. Ratto ploughed to the 45. On the next play, Gene smashed through the weak side of the Commerce line, shook of would-be tacklers, and dashed down the sidelines to score his final touchdown in the uniform of the Red and Black. Paulie Farrell, subbing for the injured Hurstack, booted a perfect placement to make the final score read 26 - o. The season ended on a high note when Whitey Norton intercepted a desper- ation pass on the Dorchester 25 and raced up the field behind beautiful blocking only to be brought down by the flying Red Harrison on the one yard line. TURKEY DAY STANDOUTS Gene Ratto - Wot a MAN! Franny Martin - Fine play-calling. SEASONAL STANDOUT This can be none other than Captain and Sparkplug, Gene Ratto. Not only did Gene lead in touchdowns with six, but his blocking, especially on Paul Farrell's end runs, was nothing short of devastating. Add this to the fact that he was one of the best defensive backs in the city and you can readily understand why he is our choice. John Hurstack is right on his heels however. Hockey ENGLISH 7 DORCHESTER 3 A veteran English High six swarmed in and about Goalie Bob Dickey for the better part of two periods, and Bob was forced to make one spectacular save after another. But then, with Ed Flaherty in the penalty box, the Double Blue solved Dickey's magic and sent the disc spinning into the net twice before the period ended. Three more tallies in the final stanza settled the outcome. Dorchester had taken a lead of 2 - 1 in the first period on two shining goals off the stick of Deacon Handrahan. Tarzan Flynn set up both scores with ac- curate passes. This lead was lengthened when Paul Farrell took a pass from Ratto and shot it home in 1:18 of the second period. An English goal made it 3 - 2 and then the game blew up. GAME STANDOUT BOB DICKEY - Bob had more than thirty saves with at least half on the spectacular side. DORCHESTER 5 MECHANICS 1 Leaping away to a fast lead at the outset, the speedy Red and Black six were never headed as it completely dominated play througout the contest. Once more Bob Dickey shone in the nets making sixteen stops. One of these at the end of the first period was simply amazing. Paul Farrell scored the first goal from an almost impossible angle at 3 :24 of the opening stanza. Then in the second period, Franny Martin took A'Tarzan Flynn's smooth pass and slid it home in 1:37. Ed Flaherty followed this with his first goal at 2:49. The outcome was assured in the final period when Flaherty soloed for his second score, timed in 6:30. Farrell com- pleted the rout by tallying at 7:41. BRIGHTEST STAR HBO MULLIGAN- Bo broke up one Buff and Blue attack after another and then either dashed down the ice in Eddie Shore fashion or fed soft passes to his waiting forwards: LATIN 3 DORCHESTER 2 ln one of the best games seen on the Garden ice this season, Boston Latin came from behind twice and finally tallied the winning marker with only twenty-eight seconds left to play. Dorchester, as usual, grabbed the lead when Martin scored unassisted in 3:52 of the initial stanza. Latin tied it up with a score at the six minute mark. Dorchester went into the lead again, in the second period when Ed Fla- herty took a soft pass from Tarzan Flynn and easily beat the Latin goalie. Time 1:31. Latin again knotted the count, and then with Gene Ratto on the bench with an injured shoulder, Hamilton of Latin hung up the heart- breaker. H D page thirty-nine WEEKLY STANDOUT JOHN FLYNN- 'ATarz played a whale of a game. A little more accuracy on his playoff shots and the result might have been different. DORCHESTER 5 -TRADE SCHOOL 4 Once again the Red 25 Black six stole the headlines as they came from way back to drop highly favored Trade out of the ranks of the undefeated, just as the Tradesmen had done to the Dorchester football team last fall. Mainly through the efforts of the opposing goalies, the first period went by without a score. How- ever, midway in the second stanza the Trades- men's vaunted power came to the fore and three fast goals whizzed past the prone Bob Dickey. Expecting Trade to coast to victory, onlookers were amazed as they saw the Red 'id Black fight back to an even keel before the period ended. Ed Flaherty started the scoring when he inter- cepted Flynn's freak shot and flipped it into the corner of the net. Franny Martin followed page forty this with the first of his trio of goals when he lifted into the nets from the blue line. Then Bo Mulligan picked up the disc in center ice and went in on the unguarded Trade goalie to score easily and knot the count. Early in the third period, Martin tallied on a blistering penalty shot to put the Red '55 Black into a one goal lead. A few minutes later Flynn deposited the rubber on Martin's stick and Fran- ny scored a slick goal from close up. Trade fought back viciously but could solve Bob Dickey for only one goal despite the fact that Dorchester was two men short at one time. The game ended with the heretofore invincible Trade six on the short end of a 5 to 4 score. ICE CHIPS Garden Standouts - FRANNY MARTIN and BOB DICKEY - Franny Martin's hat trick entitles him to the Star of the Day rating. However, Dickey's great goal tending can't be overlooked. COMMERCE 3 DORCHESTER 1 A slightly conceited Dorchester six, fresh from its upset victory over Trade, was humbled by an underdog High School of Commerce Team at the Boston Arena. Commerce tallied twice in the first period and extended their lead to the lackadaisical continued with on clear break- little of the old three goals in the second as play of the Red and Black forwards merely coasting in aways. Dorchester showed a spark in the third period and Franny Martin's of play averted goal in the last few minutes a shutout. Mulligan assisted on the play. How- ever, the Commerce defense held and the game ended with Dorchester on the short end of a three to one score. HOCKEY HOTSHOTS As for the standout of that final game: you pick one. We can't. Seasonal Standout - BOB DICKEY - Could have been any of six, but we'll give the nod to Dickey. Bob might not have been conf sistent, but he certainly was spectacular.

And in the first game of the season, Coach George Barry's Dorchester quintet fell before the smooth passing attack of English High School. However, despite the size of the score, this Red and Black outfit did show po- tentialities and the other schools in the Con- ference won't find it a soft touch. Fred Bush, rangy center, led the Dorchester scoring with nine points. Guard, Gwynne Edwards, and forward, Neal Blair split the remaining eight points evenly. HOOP STAR FRED BUSH - Fred stood out in a losing cause. With a bit more luck he might have doubled his score. ROXBURY MEMORIAL I4 DORCHESTER 32 The newly formed Dorchester basketball team suffered its second successive defeat of the season - this time at the hands of a big, speedy, Memorial five. The boys from Dunbar put up quite a struggle, and at the halfway mark Roxbury held a slim lead of only two points. However, their greater height showed to ada vantage in the last half as they chalked up twenty-one points against fourteen for the Red and Black to win going away. Fred Bush led the scoring for both sides with thirteen points, a few of his scoring shots covering half the distance of the court. Sparkplug Terry O'Connor collected nine points, while the re- maining member of that first line, bespectacled Neal Blair added six. Others to take part in the scoring were, Captain Gwynne Edwards and Guard Ken Peters with two points apiece and HX Nihan who gathered the final point. HOOP STAR GWYNNE EDWARDS - Gwynne broke up many a Roxbury scoring threat under the basket and passed very accurately to his forwards. TRADE SCHOOL 30 - DORCHESTER 26 Not to be outdone by the great football and hockey contests between these two schools, this hoop game also turned out to be a thriller. Dorchester was seven points down going into the third quarter, but sparked by fiery little Neal Blair four quick baskets were hung up and the Red '65 Black had the lead. They could not hold it, however, and after a seesaw strug- gle: the game ended with Trade having a two goal edge. Fred Bush as usual led the Dor- chester scoring with ten points. Blair totaled six. O'Connor had five. Peters notched three and Edwards two. page forty-one HOOP-STAR TERRY O'CONNOR-Terry is the spark at all times. His smooth passes set up many a score. LATIN SCHOOL 36 - DORCHESTER zo Minus Captain Gwynne Edwards, the Red Q5 Black hoop squad dropped its fourth straight game. A big Latin quintet capitalized on Dor- chester fouls and mistakes to win going away. A bit of spice was put into an otherwise dull game when Dorchester staged another of those third quarter comebacks. However, it fell short and Latin was never in trouble thereafter. Bush led the scoring for Dorchester again, but he didn't seem to have the range and missed the basket a number of times on shots that are usually easy for him. Blair, O'Connor, and Ed Flaherty also scored. HOOP-STAR NEAL BLAIR-Neal has the best shot of page forty-two anyone on the squad. He doesn't have many chances, but when he does, he makes them count. B. C. HIGH 34 -DORCHESTER 21 Minus Terry O'Connor, the hapless Dorchester quintet went down to its sixth straight defeat, at the hands of a smart stepping B. C. High live. Dorchester battled on even terms in the first period, but the Eaglets took over from that point and literally romped into victory. For the first time this season a Dorchester player scored more points than Fred Bush, namely Neal Blair. Neal was all over the court as he racked up eleven points, which was one up on the aforementioned Mr. Bush. No other Red 8 Black player could score. HOOP-STAR NEAL BLAIR - Neal is a living reminder of the phrase, 'Cood things come in small packages. MECHANIC ARTS 34 DORCHESTER 29 Two teams with an identical record, no wins, four defeats, met in the Dorchester High gymna- sium, and it was the visiting quintet that captured the honors to break their losing streak. It was a lively, fast game, but the Red and Black handed the Artisans an early lead and could never quite overcome it. Fred Bush of Dorchester led both teams in hitting the strings for fifteen points. Terry O'Connor of Dor- chester was next best with seven. HOOP STAR Fred Bush - Fred's scoring speaks for itself. Ken Peters also deserves mention for his fine defensive play. COMMERCE 40 - DORCHESTER 31 Your reporter missed this game, but the box score is all that's needed. It was a disastrous finish to a disastrous season. Ancient rival Commerce soundly trounced the Dorchester basketeers who absorbed their seventh successive defeat of the campaign. Fred Bush topped off his scoring efforts with nineteen points while Neal Blair picked up five. BASKETBALL BREVITIES No hoop-star for that last game. We can't choose 'em from the bed room. SEASONS HOOP-STAR - FRED BUSH - Freddie wasn't too alert on the defensive, but his scoring accomplishments easily give him the crown. The official figures are'nt out yet but he is either tops or close to the top in City scoring. sg i 35 I J if Tx M? Track FRIDAY, JANUARY 21 English, Trade, Mechanics, Dorchester -- That's the way they finished in the Hrst quadrangular meet of the season at the Newton St. Amory. Defending champion English waltzed off with the verdict while gathering 195 points. The Red 25 Black finished with 22M , ten less than Mechanics. Sheldon Niten- son was the only Dorchester entrant to place in Class AB as he finished a good third at 300 yards. In Class C, Pete Laudansky placed in two events. He took a third in the 220 and his leap of 5 feet three inches was enough to tie Ed Potish, also of Dorchester, for first place in the high jump. Sid Gorman duplicated this feat by taking a fourth in the 440 and a third in the broad jump. Ronnie Cilassberg came through with a third in the C shotput. Only Eddie Davis and Sumner Ciorodetzer could place in Class D-the former with a fourth in the shotput and the latter by tying for second in the broad jump. Unless more boys decide to come out, it looks like another lean season on the boards for the Red T5 Black. FRIDAY, JANUARY 28 An improved Red '25 Black squad garnered 56 points in the second meet of the season to finish in front of Trade but behind Latin and Mechanic Arts. The field events were not recorded. However, the running events were as follows: In Class AB only Sheldon Nitenson could score for Dorchester. He ran a smart race to finish second in the 300. ln Class C. Pete Laudansky showed his class by romping home a winner in the 220. Bill Kaiser placed fourth in the hurdles. Ditto Sid Gorman in the 440. Only point getters in Calss D were Bill Miller and Paul Warwick who were second and fourth respectively in the 50 yard dash. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3 Well, it finally happened. Dorchester High won a track meet. lt was the first time in ten years that a Red iff Black team had finished on top. The official count was Dorchester QQ, Trade 95M Cpheewlj Memorial 49, Com- merce BOM. This was undoubtedly the most page forty-three thrilling meet seen on the Amory boards this season. At the conclusion of the field events, Dorchester had a 916 point edge. I-Iowever, Trade came back with a rush in the UAB run- ning events where they compiled 36 points to 9 for Dorchester. The Red E5 Black drew even with the Tradesmen again in Classes C and D. Going into the AB relay, Dorchester held a slim lead and needed at least a second to win the meet. After the first two legs Trade was way out in front with Dorchester a poor fourth. I-Iowever, newcomer Art Rosen un- corked a terriffic third leg that pulled the Red '55 Black up to second and Nitenson held that position to clinch it. Individual stars were, Sheldon Nitenson in Class AB with first in the 300 and the broad jump and Pete Laudansky in Class C also with two first places, in the 220 and the high jump. Other point getters in AB were veteran Sid Pike who scored a third in the 300 and a fourth in the shotput, and Dave Goldstein who took a third in the 50 yard dash. Scorers in Class C were Bill Kaiser with a fourth in the hurdles, John Ahern with a third in the 50 yard dash, and Sid Gorman and Joe Kessler with a nrst and fourth respective- page forty-four ly in the 440. Glassberg, Mandlebaum, and Manin finished I - 2 - 3 in the shotput. Potish was second to Laudansky in the high jump. Mockus, Gorman, and Bloom finished 2 - 3 - 4 in the broad jump. In the Class D hurdles Harry Zeltzer and Eliot Bluestein took second and third. Len Kramer placed second in the dash. Warwick and Gorodetzer were 1 - 2 in the 176. Bill Miller ran a fine race to win the 220. Bill Swanson and Eddie Davis inished 1 - 2 in the shotput. Zeltzer took a third in the high jump and Gorodetzer a second in the broad jump. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II Although scoring high in the field events, the Red 26' Black slumped in the running events and could nnish no higher than third in a tri- angular get-together with Latin and Mechanics. Dave Goldstein, Sheldon Nitenson, and Jerome Sonberg upheld the Red 'Ed Black in the AB run- ning events. Goldstein took a fourth in the 50 yard dash. Nitenson finished fast to take second in the 300. Sonberg also scored a second in the 1000.

Something new has been added to the col- lection of fiags awarded to us for our achieve- ment in the Annual School Boy Street Parade. The officers and cadets marched triumphantly through the streets of Boston last June 3, 1943, to win the Red flag. With the coming of a new head master, we have high hopes of receiving the white flag this year. Mr. Reed has given Major Moulton his fullest cooperation: occasionally Mr. Reed at- tends the drill periods. The officers meetings have taken on a new aspect. Old officers are taught new facts about drill while the oflicer candidates are drilled in the presentation of the prize drill. The ofiicer candidate period is open to cadets interested in becoming officers - who are willing to report to Major Moulton at 8 o'clock every morning until their ability to command a company has been completed. The uniforms of the officers and the cadets have been streamlined to meet with present day regulations. The uniform consists of long pants, leggings, overseas hat, regulation shirt, and necktie. All cadets having this uniform will be allowed to march in this year's street parade and prize drill. This year has been a very tiresome and dis- appointing one as far as keeping the well- trained officers, who were leaving for the Armed Forces or leaving to go to work. Many of the senior cadets as well as our ofiicers have left school early. We will compete this year as a one regiment school, and we have high hopes of getting the Whz'te flag, which we have always received in the two-regiment group. This year's Prize Drill will occur Tuesday, May 2, 1944, on the parade grounds. There are ten companies in competition for the five awards given. The company receiving the highest number of points will have the honor of marching at the beginning of the regiment. The captain of the prize winning company will lead Dorchester in the street parade and will receive the rank of Colonel. The judges of the Prize Drill are expected to be oflicers of page forty-eight the Massachusetts State Guard, who will mark the companies in competition. Col. Thomas L. Sullivan, the police commissioner for the city of Boston, has been asked to present the prize winning companies with their stripes, and the captains with their buttons. This years street parade is expected to take place on Sunday, June 6, 1944, at 2:30 p. m. the parade route is expected to be the same as in previous years. In previous years the parade started in front of English High School, and after marching through downtown Boston, ended in front of the Boston Public Library. The annual Manual of Arms Competition between companies will take place on March 3 1. Each company will have its five best riflemen competing. The officers and cadets wish to express their gratitude for the cooperation they have received from Major Forrest B, Moulton, Mr. Reed, and members of the faculty for their efforts. Your editor wishes to say good luck to all the fellows of Dorchester High for Boys who are in the Armed Forces. These are the fellows who are sacrificing their lives so that we may attend our schools. MANUAL OF ARMS XVINNERS John Ahearn lll-31 Arthur S. Carlson II-32 Joseph P.

Deuce A group of boys from this school, ranging in age from 16 to I7 years, recently started a Pre-Induction Course at the New England Air- craft School, Inc. The boys attend this course after school hours and receive no pay, but obtain excellent instruction and experience under the direction of very capable teachers, all under the supervision of the School Committee. The boys are separated into four groups and receive seventy-five hours of instruction and experience in each group. Une hour is devoted to class rooms in order to understand the theories for shop work, with a ten minute break for refreshments. The Aeronautics group consist of: Edward Curran 1113 Robert Delaney 1V1 Edward Green 131 David Grifliths 11112 Frank Hurley 1V2 Elliott Levine IV32 James Mahoney 1115 I E.

Bacon has willingly supplied us with the necessary information as to the ac- complishments of the Industrial Course this year. The boys have made ten full size ping- pong tables which were given to the Red Cross, which distributed them throughout the States to hospitals and various camps. Among them were Devens, Framingham, Port Banks and Chelsea Naval Hospital. The boys made three or four hundred canes, also for the Red Cross. These canes were distributed to hospitals to aid the convalescent. During the year Mr. Engborg, fan industrial instructorj , saw a sailor with two such canes, which he recognized as coming from this school. For the City Playground Department the boys made sixty shulfleboard pushers. Porty display stands thirty-six inches square, on which were mounted motors of all sorts, were made for the use of the Electrical Course at Charlestown High School. One of these boards, rigged up with the complete radio apparatus, was shown to Mr. Bacon. All parts of the radio were mounted on the board, To each individual piece of the apparatus a switch was connected. By merely cutting any switch desired, the piece to which it was connected went dead. Thus it was easily perceived just what happened if any piece in the radio went dead. In this way the students are able to study the reactions and note carefully page Hfty each detail. Eight large work tables four feet square, made of solid maple and capable of sus- taining one hundred to one hundred and Hfty pounds, were also made for this course, The Industrial Course worked with Mr, Nathaniel J. Young of the Department of Phy- sical Education in order to turn out some equip- ment for the playgrounds. Ping-pong bats, ring toss games, bean bag games, paddles for paddle tennis and push sticks and disks for shuf- fle board were among the items turned out. Twenty-four shuffle board pushers and disks were constructed for the Y. M. C. A. Among the individual and outside jobs, drawing boards and T squares were made. Paper holders for local merchants were con- structed as the metal ones are impossible to procure during the present crisis. Book-cases, telephone tables, cedar chests, end tables, book- ends and numerous other articles along the same line were made. Cf course, outside jobs were cut down considerably this year because of the lack of material. The lumber is, for the greater part, utilized by the Army and Navy. White- wood, this year, was not available at any price.

Science Department za, Qaaza M saga In an interview with Mr. Ralph E. Wellings. acting head of Science department, we were informed as to the accomplishments of this department. At the Hrst of the year, the catae loging of apparatus had to be done. There- fore, the department went ahead in full swing and is now able to boast a good job well done. Room 315, General Science Class, and Room 316, Physics Class, have been well or- ganized and put in order. The department has gone a few steps in ad- vance and has been preparing for the coming school year. It has outlined two new courses --one in code, in order to teach the methods and the reasons for code: - the other in aero- nautics, with an aim to further the boys' know- ledge in the advancing Held of aviation. Both courses are for pre-induction education.

I hope my last letter didn't frighten you, but here is the story in a nutshell. I was with the troops that took Makin Atoll in the Gilberts. I am allowed only to tell my personal experiences so here goes as best I can. I couldn't write you very well while we were on maneuvers and much less while we were aboard ship. We trained well for this offensive, and it was just like another maneuver when we got off the barges. No one was too scared, nobody too excited. On the morning of No- vember zo, we sighted Makin about 6 A. M. whole .Iap fleet and us as we eased up into the barges and thought. Boy we In the meantime a I was expecting to see the air force come down on to the island. We loaded headed for shore, so we rode and rode and rode. squall came up and in less than it takes to write, We were soaked through and everyone was cussing and swearing, myself included. We would cuss every time a wave came over the bow of the barge, and that sort of kept our minds off the thought of facing fire while going in. Then th-e signal came that we were to page sixty-four go in. While we were heading for the beach, the squall subsided and the sea grew fairly calm. All this time my camera was getting wet and my temperature was going up. We were sup- posed to be in the third wave, but I think we hit before some of the other waves had. The beach they selected for us to land on was a lulu. Boy, if I have to do it again, I don't want it on that kind of beach. Our barge hit the reef and we slid over. Then we had to pick our way through jagged coral boulders under the water. About one hundred and fifty yards from shore, our boat tore its bottom out on a boulder, and we had to go off the ramp. As soon as they lowered the ramp, the barge started to fill with water and sink. All this time my camera was my biggest worry, but I had to go: so I jumped. I only went in up to my neck among the boulders with my camera and a light combat pack over my head. I luckily kept them dry, but all the films I had in my pockets, my wallet, and the sixty pound pack on my back were all soaked. I would try to walk and find I could stumble a few feet, and then a wave would drag me back. Lots of fellows were going under and then come up spluttering. All the while the Navy was shelling, bombing, and strafing the beach. I finally found that if I used the momentum of an oncoming wave, I could slide over the boulders with the help of my lifebelt. I finally made that one hundred and fifty yards in about twenty minutes, but I think I aged ten years. We charged the beach, all the time your truly reeling one reel of film after the other of the operation. We had expected machine guns on the beach, but the .laps had evacuated to their village leaving only snipers in our path. I started right out behind the assault troops. All this time we didn't know where the .laps were. Then in the undergrowth I lost sight of them, but I kept going. I went about a half a mile without any incident. All this time I thought that the first wave had already come through and cleaned out this section. I looked around behind me, and there came the first wave through the palm trees. I, Edward P. was in front of both the Japs and my own side. This wasn't for me, so I hightailed it for the beach. Back there I got some beautiful shots of the boys feeding some of the natives that had come over to our side. Later, I met one of our other cameramen, and we teamed up and headed for the front. All this time there was a terrific racket from both sides. We worked up slowly and careful- ly, but then we ran into trouble. The snipers were all around us. We decided to try to work our way along the beach. We did this pretty successfully with only a limited bit of slugs whistling near us and rounded a cove that looked upon the main Jap positions. From the cover of a fallen tree we could see the whole show. It was impossible to get pictures because we were still quite a distance away, but we watched our planes give those sons of heaven -Hell. It finally got too hot there, and we followed some troops moving up the road. We were forced to skirt the road alongside of the palm I trees. All this time the fire got heavier and the noise of the weapons nearer. On the road ahead of me I saw what looked to be a flashy sedan, It was a DeSoto of about IQ4I model that the Japs had abandoned after we hit it strafing. One wheel was gone to make sure we wouldn't use it. Qur tanks started to move up and were passing the auto. It was a beauti- ful shot. I knelt down to take a shot of it and Wham. --I hit for the trees. This kept up for about half an hour with my rushing out about half a dozen times and some sniper trying to pick me off. Then I fooled him. I ran across the road, snapping as I went. I got a picture although it was slightly blurred. We moved up until we came to our forward CP. The bullets were whistling all around. The Japs were using machine guns along with their rifies. I took cover and things quieted down a bit. To give you an idea how heavy the brush and undergrowth of the jungle was, there was a First Aid Station, fifteen feet in front of me and I didn't know it. I crawled up there but couldn't get any pictures. I leaned up against a tree, half sitting, and whing, a bullet took page sixty-five :gan .f 1 7 ff, - ,v gf If -Aix. 5-Ti li- I 1 , 51 X...

But this Jap seemed to be set on getting me. For about three hours I didn't move, with bullets cutting down bushes around me and the tree full of holes. Finally, someone spotted the skunk and opened up. Then it seems that everyone saw him because about every gun in that area was firing. That Jap didn't shoot any more. I learned later that most of the snipers were only about thirty yards away from us. That's only ninety feet. Yet I couldn't see them. I didn't fire a shot through the entire engagement. My arm was a .45 pistol and it earned me the name of Pistol Packin' Photographer. It was getting late so my buddy and I de- cided to move back and dig in for the night, We covered each other as we headed for the rear. We went back about two miles and dug our fox holes. Boy, then you find out what terror is. There is shooting all night long with Japs creeping up on you trying to find where you are. I didn't sleep all that night. I just prayed for morning to come. After what seemed like years, it got lighter. I waited for it to get damn good and light before I took my helmet off, and with my hand lifted it up to the edge of the fox hole, There wasn't any shooting, so I lifted my head and peered out. There six feet away from me was a grinning Jap. Whewf Boy, was I worried for a minute. It turned out he was one of our interpreters. Then I opened up a breakfast ration, while still sitting in about four inches of water in the foxhole, and was just starting page sixty-six to eat when - rat - rat - rat. The Japs had sneaked up with a light machine gun to within one hundred yards of our bivouac area and were firing into it. Down I went face first into the mud and water. Then our carbines opened up and got them. I started to eat breakfast again, and this time sat on the edge of my foxhole with my feet dangling in. Then splash, I was with my rations floating like an earthquake had a second later we heard Even though I lost my to know that the .Iaps sitting in my hole again in the water. It felt hit us. A fraction of very loud explosions. breakfast, it felt good were shaking from those bombs a lot more than we were. We had used up all our water the first day, and there was no sign of any around: so we took in our belts a notch and headed for the front. We were a hell of a lot more cautious than the first day because we knew that the Japs had infiltrated during the night. We saw our first signs of the Japs when we came upon a dead Jap and a wounded prisoner alongside of the road. Our boys were guarding them carefully though we thought the prisoner was going to kick off. A jeep came down the road carrying stretchers and we saw that one of the wounded men was our Catholic Chaplain, Father IVleany, who had been picked off by snipers about thirty yards in front of me during the first day. I-Ie was badly hurt, but he pulled through. I think everyone said a prayer for him the first night, myself included. He was a good guy, and we knew that he had been hit.

They loaded the Jap on the same Jeep and headed for the rear. This time we didn't even get to the car. The shooting was all around us. We had found out the previous day that a pistol isn't much good when a sniper's about one hundred yards or even fifty away. So we bumbed a ride to the rear. We tried to locate our supply dump to get some more film but no soap. We didn't take many pictures that day and stayed near the rear CP for any news of a break through. The second night in the hole was worse than the first. Sleep was very fitful in between the prayers. I must have gotten a full half hour's sleep at one time when our artillery opened up in the rear. The shells whistling over our heads really woke us up. I opened up a ration. This was my second meal in three days, the previous day I had some supper, and washed it down when our water came up. I looked over to my buddy's hole and he sat up rubbing his eyes and snifling. This was the first time I realized that I really stunk as did all the others. Mud and water and sweat can really make you smell. We packed up again and headed for the front. This time we worked our way through the snipers, headed into the main Jap fortifications. It was all over in this section. What Japs that were there were dead, and the others had retreated towards the extreme end of the island. It was an excellent chance for me to get some souvenirs but I came to take pictures, so pictures I took .... Boy, what a scene of devastation. I can't go into it too fully because of censorship. Boy, did those Japs stink. Almost as bad as I. I went to town and my best two items were, I say WERE, because I haven't got them any more, a sniper's rifle and a practice sword. Also numerous small items which I still have. Thatenight I bumbed a bunk for me and my buddy Ken aboard an LST that was unloading supplies. About ten- thirty we were awakened and told that we had to get off, that the boat was pulling out. Rather than walk around in the dark on the beach, we told them to pull out we didn't give a damn. Well, at five-thirty in the fplease turn to page ninety-six! page sixty-seven Faith in dy Qmdd The Ward War Implements Factory Was buzzing: men and Women Were busy at their jobs turning out parts of planes, ships, and guns by the thousands. Through this turmoil a messenger-boy cautiously made his Way. Paging Fred Rafferty! Paging Fred Raffer- ty! he hollered at the top of his lungs, trying to make himself heard above the incessant dim of machinery. At his call, one of the Welders extinguished his torch and raised his metal mask. Over here, son, he answered. A message for you, sir: sign here, he said. Sure, sure. The Welder signed the out- stretched pad and quickly opened the envelope. He read the message enclosed. Dear Mr. Rafferty: Please come to the city hospital immedi- ately. Your young brother Jack, has been injured. Jack, a fourteen year old boy, occupied a modest tWo-room apartment in one of the many tenement houses of the city With his older brother, Fred. Quickly shedding his Working clothes, the tall, blond, broad-shouldered Welder hastened to the hospital. I-Ie found that Jack had been hit by an automobile. A hit-and- page sixty-eight a Voice M Sem run driver, no Witnesses, and no record of registration number. .Iack's leg had been hurt badly. The doctor in charge told Fred that his brother Would never be able to Walk again unless an operation Were performed Within tWo Weeks. The doctor also stated that there Was but one doctor Who could perform such an operation-a Dr. Marcus. Dazed by the tragedy, Fred Went to Dr. Marcus. The doctor asked four hundred dollars for the operation, a trivial sum for this type of Work. Fred realized that it Would take him tWo months to save such an enormous amount. Not feeling in the mood for Work, he never- the less returned. Seeing the Welder's Worried expression, Tiger Mullins, an old time heavy- Weight boxing champion and Fred's best friend, approached the boy. What's the matter, Fred, did something happen? he asked. Fred explained the incidents of the preceding day. Four hundred dollars? Is that all that's Worrying you? I think I can get that much for you, giving Fred a friendly smack on the shoulder. Why, What do you mean you can get it for me, asked Fred. Well the tWo Ward Factories in this district are putting on a show for the Workers. The major event is a boxing match between a volunteer from each factory. The Winner of the match Will receive five hundred dollars. I Wasn't going to volunteer, but seeing as you need the money, I shall, explained Tiger. But I don't Want you . . . began Fred. Tiger. We'll 'ANonsense, I insist, broke in start training tonight. I shall go over and sign for the match this minute. The next eight nights Were gymnasium Where Tiger Was getting in trim for his forthcoming ordeal. Fred sparred a little With the boxer, Watching his every move. The members of both factories made small spent in the l bets on the side as to which champion would win. Of course, each factory had faith in its own volunteer. The ninth night arrived. lt was the eve of the show: war workers from both factories crowded into the crude arena, - the deck of an airplane carrier. The evening began with the war bond sale and a few minor entertainers strutting their stuff. Fred anxiously awaited Tiger in the boxer's dressing room. A half hour passed and Tiger had not arrived, Fred began to worry. Another half hour passed: suddenly there was a knock at the door. lt was Tiger. He had his hand bandaged, A'TigerY what happened to your hand?y' cried Fred. 'Al grabbed a hot iron bar: l won't be able to iight tonight, explained the boxer. Bad Luck seemed to be running Fred's way. First, his brother .lack hurt his leg: now Tiger burns his hand. Who's going to iight the fellow from the other factory? asked Fred. Hlt looks as if you will ight him, replied Tiger. Mel exclaimed Fred, A'Yes, sure, you have sparred with me, and l believe you have the makings of a good boxer, said Tiger. This gave Fred renewed courage and he con- sented. He summoned one of his fellow workers to put the gloves on his hands. He walked erectly, and like a trouper down the left aisle to the ring. He crawled under the ropes and spoke to the referee: then he retired to Tiger's corner, awaiting the bell for the bout to begin. The referee announced: Ladies and gentle- men, you have all been patiently awaiting the major event of the evening. Here it is. A boxing match between factory F and factory B. ln this corner representing factory F we have Muggs Merlin. lmmediately shouts arose. And in this corner we have Fred Rafferty, representing factory B. A hush suddenly came across the crowd, followed by low whispers: 'ARaffertyY l thought page sixty-nine Tiger was going to light. Where's Tiger? There goes our money. Rafferty? Who's he? There goes my week's pay. The two shook hands. The referee gave final instructions. The bell rang. Then the battle was on. Muggs rushed out with a look common to all fighters,-to finish the light quickly. Muggs was large and trained for fighting. Fred took a bad beating in the first round, and worse in the second. Muggs drove punch after punch into Fred's mid-section, chin, chest, and head. Fred went down, but he always managed to gain his feet before the referee began counting, So on until the seventh round. The crowd was wild. A'Kill him, Nluggsf' A kayo, Muggs, a kayof' A'Finish him. There goes our money. Throw in a towel. We might as well pay off now. Muggs connected a hard left to Rafferty's jaw. Fred went down: a strange sensation suddenly came over him. He no longer heard the cries and yells of the crowd: he heard a voice, a single voice. It was that of his brother Jack. You've got to get the money. My leg! my leg! you've got to win. Stay down till the count of seven, stay down. One-two-three- Stay down, remember how you watched Tiger, stay down. Six-seven.

Opposite him sat a scar-faced Italian known as Luigi. The three other men who had been in the game had left hours ago. Now it was just Luigi and himself. In a low voice Luigi asked, Will you take an I. O. U.? AAWhen the stakes are this high? Not a chance. Luigi stared at the glass of whiskey in front of him and said, Look, Mark, I've got a little book. It's worth plenty, but I can't tell you where I got it. Will you take that? All right, I'll take it. Mark laid down his hand. Luigi scowled and walked out without a word. Mark looked at his hand-a low straight. I-Ie thought to himself, 'AThat Luigi was a fool. Picking up his money, he walked out into the night. Looming out of the dismal, early morning fog, Mark saw his rooming house. Opening the door to his apartment, Mark spun about with a low oath. There on his bed sat the largest gray cat Mark had ever seen. Recovering from surprise, Mark said, Hello there, how did you get in? Opening the door he said, All right now, run along home to your master. Clearing its throat, the cat said, Never mind how I got here. You have the book, and where the book goes, I go. And my master, who by the way is the devil, isn't at home right now, he's on a business trip out in the Orient somewhere. I believe they call it Japan. I don't want to go home because it's rather warm down there at this time of year. Mark sank down on a chair dumbfounded. I-Ie reached over and poured himself a stiff drink, Downing it with a shudder, he turned to the cat and said, I could swear you just talked to me. . I did! Now let's get down to business. That book you have: take good care of it. Your life depends on it. Do exactly what it gays, My name is Meggs: yours is Mark Arnold. How did you know? 'AOh, I get around. Mark, thoroughly frightened now, reached for the little .32 he carried in a shoulder holster, and said, I'm going to get rid of you, right now. The gun coughed twice, and the cat smiling, said, That's a nice silencer you have on your gun, Mr. Arnold. growled to himself and put the gun Mark away. AAWell, if I can't get rid of you, at least get off my bed so I can sleep. And if I don't ? Mark reached out to push him off, then let out a yelp of pain. Cursing, the gunman with drew his badly scratched hand. I-Ie spent the rest of the night on the floor. The next morning, he thought of the book. Searching through his vest pocket, he found the book. It had all the appearances of a cheap address book, except that the pages were yellow with age, and in the upper right hand corner of each was a number. On the Hy page appeared the legend - L'Invented by the Devil himself - Pats. pending. I-Ie put the book back in his pocket and left, The next evening he was seated in his favorite cafe. Looking up, he saw Luigi approaching his table with a worried expression on his ugly face. I'd like to speak with you Mark. Come into the men's room with me. Once inside, the scar-faced gent pulled a re- volver from his pocket and said, L'Oive me the book, Mark. I don't think so: I've grown quite attached to it. Luigi's fist exploded in the gambler's face, In a fit of blind rage Luigi struck Mark again. Seizing the heavy revolver, Mark emptied it into the swaying figure of Luigi. Feeling a growing warmth in his vest pocket, Mark pulled out the little book. On the fly page had appeared the numeral Mark turned to the page indicated. It said, Leave quickly. Taking its advice, he ran out the back door page seventy-one and leaped into his coupe. He left not a minute too soon. Looking back, he saw police cars approaching the cafe in every direction. Un- doubtedly, he would have been caught. Breathing a prayer of thanks to the little book, he headed south for the Mexican border. For then the realization came over him that he would be a hunted man. Nearing the border, he saw a police barricade across the road. The book in his pocket grew warm again. Taking a quick look at the page indicated he smiled, It said, i'Keep going. Speeding the car t oa terrilific velocity he tore into the barrier. The impact was hardly felt. A few bullets whined off the car, but then all was quiet save the throaty roar of the engine. He was safe, safe in Mexico. The law could never catch him here. And neither could that damned gray cat. All these thoughts spun through his head as the miles rolled by under his wheels. With this book he could make a fortune in Mexico. Minutes later, the headlights picked up a huge oak tree. In the short space of time it was seen, he shuddered at the gnarled branches that seemed to reach out to kill him. Then with a low moaning sound it fell directly in front of the car. With a terrific crash the car hit the tree. Mark, sprawled behind the wheel, was un- conscious. Upon waking up, Mark saw with horror that the car was on fire. He tried the doors: they were so warped that escape was impossible. He tried kicking out the windshieldg it wouldn't break. With breathless fear, he watched the fire crawling closer to him. With a low moan he slumped back into the seat. Then he saw Meggs, crouching in the flames, who said, 'AWe'll be seeing my master soon. Then he remembered the book. Seizing it, he looked at the fly page. It said number He turned to the page. On it two words were written: THE END. ga . page SE'U97'2fy-ZLLUO T y .I- Compliments Stollerfs Pharmacy PEACEVALE RD.

Let us see what took place early that morning. We'll have to wait a few minutes: ah, there to your right, sir? The shrubbery moves slight- ly, a nose comes into view, the head, the shoulders, body and then, standing majestically before you, is the gray sleek figure of a she-wolf. Looking around, and smelling the breeze for a few seconds, she turns her head a little and emits a low growl. Tumbling forth from the bushes, comes a young cub, cute little fellow too. Tagging close behind his mother, they head for the water hole a few feet away from the bushes. To gaze upon this quiet and serene scene, one would hardly think that in a few moments death in all its violence would strike. But, such is life. Suddenly, tottering from side to side like some unstable building, death appears on the scene. Death, in the form of a great shaggy bear. Fighting ensued between the bear and the wolf. It was violent and gruesome. When the little cub tried to interfere, the bear lashed out with a gigantic paw and slashed the flank of the little cub. Whimpering piteous- ly, he headed for the safety of the shrubbery, blood trickling down his glossy black hide. Watching from the concealing bushes, he gazed fearfully upon the battle. Though what had happened to her child spurred her on, it was of no avail: the bear was getting the upper hand. In a few moments he had the cub's mother by the neck upon the ground. Thrash- ing wildly, she tried to escape, but the bear pinned her down with one of his paws. Soon the wolf's struggle ceased and the bear, apparent- ly forgetting the cub, lumbered off to care for the few wounds he got. When the bear was out of sight, the cub scampered from its hiding place to the inert form of its mother. Sniffling around its mother's face, the cub accidently poking its nose in the pool of blood that was near the neck, drew away quickly. Going around to the back of his mother's head, the cub licked her a few minutes after this he got up and walked around her whimpering. Realizing the effort to wake her up futile, he limped painfully towards the cave they once called home. That night was a most fearful and dreadful one for the little cub because this was the first night he had ever spent alone. The years passed, but with the years grew the hate for not only the bear that killed his mother but for all living creatures outside of his own kind. During the years that passed he rose to be a leader of a large and courageous pack, He was looked up to not only by his pack but by those in other packs. He led daring raids on nearby farms and during the night his Hgure could be seen silhouetted ma- jestically against the evening moon calling his pack to council. Some of the more superstitious farmers thought he was the devil re-incarnated, but at any rate he was as shrewd and as cunning as Satan. Therefore, he got the name, Satan. No man dared venture out at night alone without his gun. The hired help, when on duty walked around in pairs. When the cry of Satan the devil-wolf pierced the night, every man, no matter how brave, drew his gun xx N I page seventy-five closer to him and looked around half-fearfully and half-expectantly. His fame spread o'er the countryside and when the wind rose to a high tempo one could imagine that he heard the wail of Satan coming forth from it. Then they would be shaken back to reality by the real cry of Satan and their nerves would become tense, and they would be on the alert. Satan and his pack generally made their raids either on a moonless night or one that was cloudy. I-Ie and his pack ravaged, killed, and plundered. They seemed possessed because he and his pack were often fired upon, but it seemed that they never could be hit. The more times this happened, the more he was feared, and yet he was respected. When his name was mentioned, it was always in dread. But during the day when Satan didn't make any raids, he was always on the look-out for his mother's killer. Then one day at the same water hole where his mother had been so brutally killed, Satan spied the bear who killed her. I-Iow did he know? Instinct, I could say, but there are some things that can't be explained and I imagine this was one of them. Growling to his followers that this was to be his kill, he approached the bear snarling hate and defiance. Instinct told them that this was a fight where there could be no draw, this was a fight to the end where there could only be one survivor. Satan ap- proached his opponent slowly and steadily, then suddenly he sprang for the bear's neck. The bear side-stepped and lashed out with a paw catching Satan on the side with a nasty cut. Retreating a little, Satan looked for an opening, but before he could find one the bear lunged for him. A quick turn and the bear missed his mark. Before he could recover, Satan was at his back with fangs sunk deep in the nape of the bear's neck. Satan tasted the warm life blood of the bear, and this spurred him on and on. The urge to kill grew and grew, and as it grew he bit with a savage fury. The bear ran amuck and screamed his frenzy. The more he tried to shake Satan off, the harder Satan bit and held on.

MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY page seventy-six For All Time Zu, Qabwf Wwe Swiftly, horribly, without any forewarning, swept across the border and began the Nazis destroying, pillaging, and terrorizing the whole country. Among the invaders was that of Lubin, inhabitated by five hundred peaceful people taken entirely un- aware by the sneak attack. We have allowed them to enter our beautiful village, to rob us, to beat us, and even to kill some of us. All this because we were stupefied with fear. But now we must take action: we must take revenge on the hated Nazi Swine who have so ruthlessly robbed our village. Thus spoke Maxim, the leader of a group of cour- ageous citizens of Lubin, who now gathered in the basement of a bomb- ruined building to discuss means of fighting the Nazis and pro- tecting their homes. Roughly organized, this little band of men had been harassing the ruthless Germans quarter- ed in the village. Thus far only one hundred troops were needed in order to keep the citizens under submission. Now, daily, new troops were arriving in order to quell the ever-increasing disturbances. But these were nothing compared to the real blow which the patriots were now planning to deliver to the conquerors. Maxim briefly outlined the plan once more to the satisfaction of the others. Then every- thing prepared, they crept out into the night one by one. Starting from the center of the village, we will work out in four groups to the outside of the village. There we will meet and escape to the hills. These were the orders given by Maxim in a whispered voice. Hours went by: each group had finished its mission and was making for the outskirts of the village for their rendezvous. But fate plays horrible tricks: a German sentry caught a glimpse of some moving shadows creeping stealthily along the side of a house. He aroused his fellow soldiers and one of the groups was trapped and caught. What totures these cour- ageous men were put through have rarely been the tiny villages first over-run by equalled in history. But pain could not make the heroic men reveal the fate that awaited these Nazi swine. The zero hour was nearing, the other groups had met and were anxiously awaiting their comrades We will wait only ten more minutes: that will give us time enough to reach the hills, suggested the weary leader of the little band of men. The minutes slowly crept by until finally there was no hope left. The group soon reached their hideout where they had previously brought their wives and children. The hour has come, said one of the men, they will soon receive the just punishment for the misery which they have brought into our lives. Suddenly with a defeating explosion the village burst into flames which enveloped the whole area and swallowed up every building in which their hated enemies were housed. But in the flames perished four of their comrades -- four men who had died without revealing a plan which brought destruction to the Nazis, - four men to whom the entire remaining inhabi- tants were indebted for their lives,-a debt which could not be paid directly, but which would be paid for by the lives of more of the hated invaders. In the words of their heroic leader, 'iWe will avenge the death of our comrades, we will free our beloved land, and we will ensure our children freedom and security for all time!

The phantasmagoria of long-forgotten years, Wisped by the eyes, now blinded with - let's say - nostalgic tears. Look quickly! Mr. Schimmel stands explaining dis and data, While lo! youthful Mr. Ryan dissects biologic matter. And Sullivan extorts 'Ales verbes with technique incomparable, And O'Keefe edits report cards which is nothing short of swearable. Genial Watts, brush poised aloft, endeavors the artistic, And with delicate arts, balancing aliquot parts, sits McLean the erudite mystic. There are others who with wraith-like tread march slowly past my vision, And cut the low'ring tropic gloom with hearty, gay incision. The missive served the purpose of conjuring up an image, Of creaking desks, a dog-eared book, a hard-fought football scrimmage. The chill wind tugs and taunts the tent as it blows in from the sea, And whispers softly. Au revoir to this interlude for me. And 'ere I bid, with timid knock, my entrance into Hades Please Lord, give me the friendship of a thousand Joseph Cadys. page eighty-five Lt. Robert ll. Lord, U. S. N. The tragic death of Lt. Robert H. Lord, U. S. N. comes to us from two sources - Life Magazine, and the Readers Digest. Lt. Lord was graduated from Dorchester High for Boys in 1936 and entered Holy Cross College the following September. A'The Borie's Last Battle an article in the Readers Digest of March, 1944 brings us the last picture of Robert Lord. The Borie, an old destroyer, had engaged two German sub- marines in the Atlantic and had sunk them. However, in the ensuing action she sustained mortal wounds and made heroic efforts to reach port. The story runs: 'Alf the Borie could send out radio signals, the chances of their be- ing found would be much better. Someone took out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter. Lt. Robert H. Lord remembered having seen some lighter fluid on another officer's desk. Word was passed about the ship to send all lighter fluid to the radio shack. The sea later became so rough that even breeches buoy rescues were impossible. The men had to take to the water from the sinking des- troyer. .... The water was only I2 degrees above freezing and 27 men including Lts. Lord and Brown, unscathed in the fierce battle a few hours before, lost their lives.

In the meantime, the farmers had not been idle: they had decided once and for all to exterminate the scourge of the country- side, Satan. They set quite a few traps but to no avail, because Satan and his followers were lucky enough not to be caught. The farmers would become angrier and angrier when on inspection they found the traps empty. This happened for a while and then one morning they decided to form a hunting party and go out after Satan. It was early morning when the men started out on the hunt. Their dogs were baying anxiously and smelling the breeze. Meanwhile Satan, Lima and his pack were relaxing in their favorite retreat letting the cool morning air caress them. Becoming tense and sniffing the breeze, Satan stands erect and issues orders to the pack. Scampering away quickly, with his pack follow- ing close at his heels, they could find safety. But as fate would have it, Lima, Satan's mate. is caught in one of the snare traps laid for Satan. Seeing this, Satan tells his pack to continue without them and that they would join them later. Soon after his pack leaves. the dogs catch the scent of Satan and Lima and their baying can be heard in the distance. Satan knawed the rope in frenzy, but the snare wouldn't give. Lima begs him to go on with- out her, but Satan won't for he knows that the dogs will get there before the men and rip the helpless Lima to pieces. The baying gets louder and Satan knaws faster. The dogs were practically in sight and the snare was beginning to give. The dogs were getting closer and the snare snapped and away like the wind Satan and Lima leaped. Coming to a stream, they plunged in and began to wade up-stream. Due to the fact that water can't hold a scent very long, by the time the dogs got there the scent was gone, and the dogs didn't know which way to go. Abandoning the search, the men returned to their homes. That night the cry of Satan again resounded o'er the plains, but only this time it seemed to be one of contempt and mockery. The men drew themselves closer to the fire, cursed Satan and his pack and began to talk about anything that came into their minds at that particular moment. 1 th i .14 Af .L rv! . 1 , ' f W r if 5 lf' T nr X ll f-ASQ Vx, .

Sid Potish and Bill Kaiser finished third and fourth respectively in the hurdles. Sid Gorman placed third in the 440 and George Elkins managed a fourth in the dash. In Class D Paul Warwick took a close second in the 176 while Miles Anderberg and Bill Miller were 3 - 4 in the 220. The field events were not compiled. FRIDAY, MARCH 3 Dorchester IIOM, Trade 76M, Memorial 71, Commerce 27-Proving that its earlier victory over these three schools was no fluke, the rejuvenated Dorchester track squad blazed its way to a more decisive win in the season's finale. The big surprise of the day occured when Jimmy Larkin, a newcomer to the Dor- chester ranks, matched the Reggie record for the 176 by winning easily over Paul Warwick in the time of 21.4 seconds. Winners for Dor- chester in Class AB were Sheldon Nitenson and Sid Pike. The former won both the 50 yard dash and the broad jump and the latter, the 300. ln Class C, Pete Laudansky scored a double by winning the 220 and also the high jump. Sid Ciorman won the 440 and Sid Mandlebam, the shotput. Winners in Class D were, along with Larkin, Miles Anderberg who edged out Bill Miller to win the 220, Len Kramer who broke the tape in the 50 yard dash, and Eddie Davis who edged out Bill Swanson in the shotput with a toss of forty feet. Ed Potish took seconds on both the C '50 and the high jump. Paul Farrell and Tar- zan Flynn, away from the hockey wars, aided the squad with points in the shotput. THE REGIMENTALS The Reggies were held on Saturday, March II and as usual they were won by big and and powerful English High. Dorchester picked up 9 points to finish ninth in a field of fifteen. Pete Laudansky earned the lone Dorchester point in the field events when he propelled his body over the bar at 5 feet 4 inches to take fourth place in the high jump. Jimmy Larkin be- came the Hrst Dorchester Reggie champ in years when he romped in the 176. With a little competition he would have easily beaten the record. His time was 21.5 seconds. Laudansky closed fast to take a good third in the 220. The other point was earned by the Class C relay team. So we ring down the curtain on the most prosperous track season for Dorchester in more than a decade. Congratulations must not only be given to the boys on the squad, but also to Coach Pendergast who has been patiently work- ing and hoping year after year that Dorchester might reach its rightful spot in track circles. This 1944 team has started the ball rolling. Let's hope that in 1945 coach Pendergast will greet more than a hundred candidates. Then sit back and watch Dorchester's smoke. BASEBALL As we go to press the baseball season is just around the corner and the future really looks bright for the Red '25 Blackg that is if a few good pitchers can be found somewhere. Five members of last years first team are returning. The outfield of Flynn, Bertazzoni, and Peter- son is intact, while in the infield, shortstop Paul Farrell and second baseman Franny Martin are back again. Bob Dickey may replace Mell Rubin who has graduated, at first base, while third base is open to competition. Sid Mandle- baum, second string catcher of last year may handle that position this year. However, he'll have stiff competition from Jim Staples and Joe Barron. Among the pitching candidates are Don Shea, Mo Monohan, Bill Kaiser, and Whitey Lamb. Let's hope that they have a few hooks and curves to show Coach Pendergast. If they have, it may be clear sailing. -OW ft.
