Class History iq Iam!! Qlfimefaick It was three years ago when we first passed through the big main entrance to Dorchester High School for boys. That will long be remem- bered by us. Many of us recall our first day at Dorchester High when we came face to face with our new home-room teachers. For as I passed mine I received a cold welcome. But what a rebuff! What a rebuff! I had my anti-freeze. Many of us felt the loss of Mr. William Hughes, of the English Department who was transferred to English High School two years ago. We all regretted the retirement last year of Mr. Joseph Cady who is still a young man. Mr. Cady was the head of the English Department since its opening in 1925. This year we regret the trans- fer of five of our esteemed faculty, mainly Mr. William Cunningham who was well-liked by the students and all teachers. Dr. Henry P. Moore, Mr. Edward Donahue, Mr. John Ryan, and Mr. Frank Ramisch - also fine teachers - were the others that left this year. We shall now take a peek at the scholastic record of the class of 49',, Hey, Bud, don't strain your eyes. We have had eight seniors on the Honor Roll this year. They are: Joseph May, Earle Gorman, Joseph Kelley, Frederick Cubile- wich, Eugene Caron, Charles Gorman, Frank P. Milano, and Morris Kaplan. This year Dorchester High School for Boys made a fine standing in the field of athletics. XVe are proud to hold the title of Football Champions of the city, and proud of the squad that led us to victory, captained by Billy Cahill and boast- ing such players as Vincent Milano, Lawrence Bushey, Donald MacDonald, C'Snowball', Walsh, Toni Ryan, Billy McDonald, Joe Kelley, Paul Mullen, Nippy Lester, Doc Livingstone and Gregg Goggin. This yearis track team has been better than average and also bigger. We can boast of such runners as Captain Richard Tonsberg, John Hanna, Donald MacDonald, Bill Gallagher, fast- est man in school, Jim Bougoulas, Sticks, Rowen, and Hal Maloney. The basketball team this year has been excel- 36 RED AND BLACK lent. XVe have won most of our games and placed third in the city. WVe have had outstand- ing playcrs in basketball such as Captain Larry Bushey, Dick Tracy, Tom Jolley, Dick Zmudzien, Dave McSavaney and Specs, McCarthy. Hockey fared rather well this year despite the lack of ice to practice on. These men excelled in the short season: Capt. Bill Cahill, Harvey Goldstein, Oscar Cohen, Daniel O,Toole, Joseph Kelly. Making the winter this year even more pleas- ant was the Senior Class Prom. It was combined with that of the Dorchester High School for Girls at the Louis XIV Ballroom, Hotel Somerset. In the two weeks preceeding the eventful night it looked as if we were not going to have a large attendence. The number, though, that turned out for the affair staggered even the sponsors. Everybody enjoyed himself and also the good music of Guy Ormand's band. Our latest annual dramatic classic, '6Stage Doorv was one of the best productions put on in the Dorchester High School auditorium. The play ran two nights in succession. The cast was a very large one numbering thirty which re- quired more work and time than plays of previous years. Again we thank Mrs. Coran for a fine job of coaching. Many thanks to the girls of Dor- chester High for supplying the props. VVe have had the honor of placing five seniors in the Radio workshop at Station NVMEX under the guidance of Mr. Robert Schimmel. From the junior year four more boys are being picked for this special class. As in everyones lifetime, so it will be in ours, something will complicate our lives. In the History of our class we have met complications before we were able to present ourselves for our diplomas. Nevertheless, with the help and guid- ance of our faculty, a fine group of young men have set forth into the world. So in closing remember these lines from An Introduction of Two Personsi' by Edward Bok: Make you the world a bit more beautiful and better because you have been in itf,
