As we file across the auditorium stage to receive our diplomas, we re- alize that our four years of high school are coming to a close. It seems like just yesterday that we entered this very same auditorium on sub-freshman day in the September of 1944 to hear an address of welcome given us by Mr. Fowler, then principal of Drury High School. High School, the very word sent shivers up and down our spines-it had al- ways seemed so far off in the future and now the time had actually come-we were high school students! Sub-freshman day went off fine, but with somewhat a feeling of apprehension our thoughts turned to the first day of school, for we had heard tall tales of the welcome upper classmen usually gave incoming freshmen. The next day dawned dreary and rainy-to match our spirits-so, with a lump in our throats and an empty feeling in the pits of our stomachs, we began the long trip to Drury on the hill. Our worst fears were realized as we were branded with lipstick and forced to be a party to a rousing game of lunch period post office. But then, those upper classmen weren't so bad. Didn't they willingly give us helpful hints on how to get to our classes-and didn't many of us follow their directions and end up in the boiler room where we naively believed our first period English class to take place or in the third floor developing room, when we wanted to go to the library for reference work? However, in time initiations were over and we recovered from our wounds in time to attend the Freshman Reception. Barriers were more or less removed and friendships formed between us and them , In order to operate successfully as a class, we needed officers. Elections were held with Eddie Sprague chosen as President, Marcia Windover as Vice-President, and Jean Smith as Secretary- Treasurer. Before we knew it, mid-year exams were upon us. Miraculously we emerged uncathed and unscarred to ind that spring was fast approaching. Spring! The birds were singing, trees were in the bud, and also numerous romances, according to the dreamy expressions on the faces of those Ubeaux and belies. The rest of the year went by quickly and before we knew it, it was time to bid farewell to our freshman days. The next September found us returning to Drury a little older and a lot wiser. Of course, we got revenge for our initiation period by giving the new frosh a good hazing-we were the wise fools now. This year found quite a few changes. Many of our teachers who had been in the armed services returned to resume their places on our faculty. Mr. Fowler left us this year to take a new position in Stratford, Connecticut, and Mr. Walter Patterson of Pennsylvania took his place as Principal of Drury, We were genuinely sorry to see Mr. Fowler leave us, but were sure Mr. Patterson would be a worthy successor, which he has proven to be. This year our class surged forward to glory under the leadership of Harold Dunton as our President, Mary Anketell as Vice-President, and Joan Crofts as Secretary-Treasurer. We started a new tradition by presenting The Sophomore Frolic which has since become an annual aifair. Needless to say, this was a huge success. The football season came and on Saturday afternoons you could find us at Noel Field, cheering our team to glory. Remember those Snake Dances down Main Street? Winter had now arrived and brought with it snow, sleet, colds, and mid-year exams-need we go into that any further? Can it possibly be spring again? Open windows and blank stares on our faces when the teachers asked us questions-ah spring! June-The seniors hurrying around preparing for graduation-The Senior Prom-Final exams -fWhy do we have to have those things?J-farewells to our chums with a promise of seeing them again in the fall when we would return as upperclassmen-think of it! Our Junior year was started off with a bang having elected as our officers: President, Charles Stoneham, Vice-President, Sandra Hirsh, Secretary, Ann Graham and Treasurer, Harold Dunton. The days just seemed to fly by and it seemed in no time at all that our officers and hardwork- ing committees were busy planning the Drury Prom. Naturally this, as all other ventures, proved highly successful and a gala evening was enjoyed by all. After our Christmas vacation, we returned to find our holiday spirit a bit dampened by exams-but they soon were over and we were Well into our next big project-the Junior Class Play. This again was an unprecedented event in Drury. In April Ever Since Eve was presented and we discovered we had actors and actresses in our midst. The rest of the year just seemed to slip through our fingers, and it soon was time to bid farewell to the Class of '4'7. It gave us a queer sensation, as we realized that we were the Sen- iors now-the ones of whom the Freshmen stood in awe and who were expected to set a good ex ample for the rest of the school. We-the onetime Frosh of '44-Seniors-unbelievable but true. September again-friendships renewed-the newlook -As t-his was our last year in Drury, we were determined to make it our best. The Academe Staff turned out a bigger and better issue. The Student Government gave us those very interesting and entertaining assembly programs, The Class Book Staff was using its combined efforts to turn out the best year book it possibly could-committees planned and plotted social events. As our leaders we had: Harold Dunton, Presidentg Sandra Hirsh, Vice-President: Ann Silvia, Secretary and Jean Smith, Treasurer. Amid all this activity, fall slipped by unnoticed and our champion football season was a thing of the past and new victories were being won on the basketball courts. Our Senior Play You Can't Take it With You, was presented and was a huge success, and then what seemed like no time at all we found ourselves on the last lap of our long journey in the pursuit of knowledge- spring fever-measurements for caps and gowns-the exchange of class pictures-invitations to visit Mr. Royal to talk college -Pro Merito Awards-selection of our D. A. R. Good Citizen- The question of the hour- Do You Have to take Final Exams? -closing our books for the last time, tWe Lucky Seniorsl and finally the big month had arrived. The Senior Cabaret-10th av- enue night club atmosphere-daring cigarette girls , potent coketails -what a time! Next was the Senior Banquet-closely followed by the Senior Reception-a dance especially for us and an event we had been anticipating during our four years at Drury-The gals looking breathtak- ingly beautiful in their new summer formals and the fellows equally resplendent in their white jackets-Class Night-awards-class history, prophecy, and will given-the thrill of reviewing our- selves in our caps and gowns for the first time-Class books handed out-and all too soon, the evening was over. As we wake from our reverie, we find ourselves, diplomas tightly clutched in our hands, de- scending the stage. We're graduates-but we shall always remember Drury and we hope they will always remember the Class of '48. Ann Silvia Judith Carr X ' W -1 as Class Prophfvf With a skid and a thump our helicopter comes to a stop near the streamlined plastic han- gars. Here at last! Back to our home town, world famous for its international airport, modern- istic airplanes and -Drury High School. At the sight of Mabel Harvey and Bob Bissaillon, now famous scientists, entering the grounds of North Adams' gigantic World's Fair for 1958, fond memories of high school days flash across our minds. Handing our tickets to Bryce Owen we proceed through the gate thoroughly prepared for a wonderful time. On our way to the Aquatic Show we meet Rhoda Kronick, who is the author of a syndicated gossip column called, Stop Me If You've Heard It , She is wearing a bright red nylon dress designed by Loretta Segalla, a Vogue designer. She tells us that Thelma Russell's new novel, How to Capture a Man is a must. She also tells us about the wonderful social improvements accomplished by Judy Carr, Sis Perenick, Bob Borowski, and Charles Eilers. At the pool, we find ourselves just in time to witness the sensational waterfollies, directed by Glenna Shippee and starring Rosemarie Tatro, with a cast including Fran Melito, Carolyn Martin and Peggy Brooks. Leaving the show we are knocked over by Joe Tondreau, editor of the Star, He has just received word of Professor Norman Einstein Allen's return from the moon. He also informs us that Jay Barton, Florence Beckwith and Bernice Lavanway have opened the most modernistic bakery in the world. Other bits of news are that Admiral Philip Cummings of the United States Coast Guard has just returned from a cruise around the world. Jack Smilin' Ed Quinn has just opened the largest and most modern pool room in North Adams, and Fuad Nassif, the modern t'Al Jolson has just returned from a tour of Europe. Our minds filled with all this newly ac- quired info , we bid goodby to our editor and make our way through the merry crowd to the Aero- nautical Exposition. Bill Barcomb and Bob Bussey open the show with a picturesque description of their trip to wild and woolly Africa. Next on the program, Neue Cardimino and Gay Galbo execute the breath-taking spiral spin at one hundred fifty feet above the ground. Jean Coons and Betty Gingras, those gracious stewardesses, escort us through the Hornet , that vast iiying machine invented by Wilfred Saulnier which is on exhibition. Our minds filled with awe and our stom- achs seemingly empty, we press on in quest of food. We stop at Bill Mausert's lunch wagon, which looks like a night club on 5th Avenue. Here we find Norma Martin and Virginia Bliss, the two charming hostesses. VVhile we are waiting to be served Dr. Jean Smith calls us from a near by table. With her are Mary Cardinal and Katherine Cariddi, who are buyers for a famous shop in Hollywood. After a hearty meal, we once again continue our tour of the 1958 World's Fair. In gay spirits we head for the Amusement Center. Flashlight bulbs are popping as Marie Briggs and Louise Cavazza, now famous actresses step into the limelight. By the way, they tell us that Marcia Clark and Walt Asdikian are peddling their songs in Tin Pan Alley and that Jean Burnett has just made a picture in which she conducts an all-male orchestra. Suddenly a hush comes over the crowd as Ray Belouin, the humorous radio comedian who is master of ceremonies of that new quiz program Take it or Drop Dead announces that a group of professional enter- tainers has flown in from Broadway and is going to put on a show. The entertainment starts off with a Russian Ballet number starring Gloria Moors and accompanied by a chorus consisting of Irene Bressette, Pearl Brown, Jean Hubley, Margaret Bruno and Josephine Buda. Following this, Sandra Hirsh, star soprano of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, sings Far Away com- posed by Dick Duval. After the applause dies clown Marion Nichols, former Academy Award winner does a dramatic number for the audience. Suddenly a great cheer comes from the crowd as Harold Spike Dunton, the idol of the bobbysoxers, enters with his two bodyguards, Dan- gerous Don Duxbury and James Strangler Lewis. Leaving the Amusement Center we wander over to the Sports Exhibit, where we renew ac- quaintances With such old friends as Ed Dupre and Art Wylde, champion Olympic skiers. Over in the corner we find Art Thibert, coach of Houghton College's outstanding basketball team that has won 222 straight games, arguing with Mildred Flash Pierce, the famous sports columnist of the Clarksburg News edited by Connie Avdoulos and George Bateman. We say hello to Benny Davis and Lewis Kronick, co-captains of .he North Adams Knickerbockers, a basketball team that is unique in the fact that in five years of league competition it hasn't lost a game. We notice Mary Anketell, now owner of the Boston Red Sox, chatting with her new manager Dodo Carmichael. A bugle denotes that the Horse Racing is about to start, so we leave the Sports Exhibit and are on our way. We buy a program from Tubby Tomaselli and discover to our amazement that Kenny Haskins is riding Crawlaway , owned and trained by Charley Tornabene. Sure- thing John Malloy, who knows how to pick them, stops by and gives us a tip on the daily double. We buy popcorn and soda from Roger Delisle as we wait for the racing to begin. After the races we go to our hotels and are taken up to our suite on the fifty-sixth floor by Ann Vivori, the elevator girl. After dressing we attend a banquet in honor of Peter Shields, famous astronomer, who just discovered Shieldpeter, a new planet beyond Pluto. Other cele- brities at the banquet are William Wojcik, inventor of that famous pen guaranteed to write above water as well as under water and Senators Honest Jim Boulger and Dick Stickney who have introduced the Boulger-Stickney Plan for the rehabilitation of Afghanistan. Toastmaster John Benvenuti delivers the opening address and head waiter Dick DiLorenzo passes out the menus. A loud yell arises from John Mattimore, international banker, as waitress Dot Gigliotti spills a bowl of hot soup in his lap. Bouncer Jim Emery tells him to be more quiet. The main course is served by waitress Catherine Cuccia, Velia Falco, Marion Lowe, Elva McKay, Priscilla Douglas and Nelda McDowell. A fine after dinner speech is delivered by Al Breda, on his adventures in the wilds of Bennington with his assistant Vic Moruzzi. A few witty remarks by Walt Timoney end the program and We depart to Lorin Jangrow's Diamond Horseshoe, whose stageshow is highlighted by such notable performers as Ann Silvia, the gilded canary, Rita Coutu and her im- personations, and Bob Gay and his trained seal act. Music is furnished by Duke Bob Bou- dreau and his boggie-Woogie selections by Eddy Konopka and his orchestra featuring Hot Lips Keating on the trumpet. We spot Al Trigger Jacques, Big Time Lester Dumoulin and Brass Knuckles Ed Sprague, gangsters and racketeers for M. G. M. or Mahoney, Graham and Moul- ton Motion Picture Company, sitting near our table. Dave Chicoine and Dolly Lazzeri, well-known news photographers snap a few pictures of all the celebrities. General Bob Brewer, Colonel Hector Cole and Admiral Ed Wright of the U. S. Army enter, all decked out in their uniforms. Getting our wraps from check girls, Mary Pappas and Peggy Russell we make our exit through the main door which is held open by Ed Landry, the smiling doorman. We saunter along the avenue until our attention is drawn by loud yells of Extra, Extra and we ind Rose Vono busy selling newspapers. Buying one we glance at the front page and we find that Phyllis Miller has just been elected the first woman president of the United States and Joan Crofts vice-president. Surprisingly we find she has appointed some of our old friends from Drury to her cabinet: Com- modore Richard Boschetti, Secretary of War, Sanford Kaplan, Secretary of Stateg Ray Moocher Murray, Secretary of Treasury, Robert Knox, Secretary of Navy and Harry Baxter, Secretary of Labor. We also notice that Edwin Jackson and Fearless Art Rock have started a rebellion in Outer Mongolia. Turning away from the front page we glance at the sports page and find Bob Kateley has just been appointed head football and basketball coach of Notre Dame Grammar School of this city. Next we turn to the funnies and follow the adventures of our favorite comic strip characters, Bob Colt and the Pirates, Bringing Up Bill Lesage and Claire McNine, the Jungle Girl. We hail a taxi driven by Jack Cole. On our way to the hotel we listen with interest to the radio in the cab. Dick Armstrong, the All North Adams Boy has just signed off, and that new serial Lorraine Oakes Faces Life comes on. We arrive at the hotel and find a huge crowd gathered in the middle of me street. Tony Zappone has just been hit by a five ton Mack truck and is sufiering profoundly from a nose bleed. Soon the ambulance driven by Walt Estes and Edward Beaupre arrives and Doctor Donato Kil- daire Dagnoli comes to the rescue. We follow the ambulance to the hospital and there we meet nurses Evelyn Oakes, Tina Moresi and Ivonette Pinsonneault busily attending to our suffering friend. We are surprised to see Frances Sorel, the famous psychiatrist also at the hospital. Her assistant is Bud Tower. Feeling a bit hungry we cross the street to Don Trahan's self-service, help yourself, auto- mat. Unfortunately the automat is closed and We continue down the street to William Rennell's hot dog stand. While getting a bite to eat we overhear the world famous banker Al Barbuto and the Wall Street magnate, Richard Bliss discussing the world situation. They are soon joined by the counterman John Dube. Continuing on our way we meet patrolman Deane Brown who suggests we visit the Zoo and see many of our old friends. Feeding the monkeys we rind Doris Francis and Connie Harrisg and laughing at the hyena we discovered Loraine Scarbog Croyle Sabu Hevner, is carrying Water to the elephants. A crowd is gathered around the lion cage watching liontamer Joe Tor- nabene go through his act. Thoroughly exhausted we tramp back to the hotel and get the keys to our room from clerk Donald Gurney. Bellboy Harry Chesbro is asleep in the chair and we find house detective Vincent Tassone roaming the halls. Finally, at three in the morning, we lie down to pleasant dreams only to be awakened at live a. rn. by a terriffic racket going on in the street below. We discover the Public Works Department fixing the road. Among the workers are Albert Lecuyer, Tony Lo- preta and Roger Matrigali with Vincent Lucia, foreman. Hotel Manager Bob Moresi calls us and informs us that it is time to leave for the airport. We hail a cab driven by Helene LaPlante. Arriving at the airport and seeing that we are slightly early, we buy the latest Good Housekeeping magazine at Frances Heidernarfs newstand and discover to our amazement that the up and coming young artist, Phyllis Polumbo, has her picture on the cover. Looking through the magazine, we find an interesting article by Marcia Windover, the authority on men's ties. Turning the page, we ind pictures of Dot Rivard, Jean Sebastino, Marilyn Herrington and Jean Robinson, famous bathing beauties. Finally the voice of Dolores Shakar comes over the loud speaker and informs us that it is time to take off. Our lovely stevvardesses, Inez Strange, and Ella Robinson show us to our seats and we are now on our way. And as the sun gradually sinks beyond the waters of the blue Hoosac River, we sadly say farewell to the land of fond memories. Elliot Goldberg Martha Swenson Barbara Warner l 0l0AQCg 0l'l iAQ pl 0l9A9fr5 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Station HOPE, coming to you from North Adams, Massachusetts, the fast-rising metropolis of Eastern United States. We now bring you the high- lights of tcday's news. The Police Department of North Adams seems to be running into a little difficulty along the traflic control line. The Chief of Police has commented that even though the new ten-lane roadway recently built on Main Street has proved successful in taking care of car traffic, he now has another problem-'helicopter traffic control. Installation of more extensive and dependable system is a must, due to the rapidly-increasing number of helicopters now in operation. And he adds that not only must air-minded drivers dodge other helicopters, besides hundreds of birds, they may yet have another little item to worry about. The market of oddities for excitement and thrills has presented to the public a Plastic-Wing perfected by Prof. Elliot Goldberg, well-known inventor and experimenter in plastic. By making use of this unusual device, anyone daring enough to attempt it, can iiy almost 33 m. p. h. No pedestrians for the height-loving driver to avoid? No such luck! Drury High School held its mock city election this morning. and the results are quite inter- esting. The voters for the Mayorship favored Martha Swenson by a large majority. If the pub- lic of North Adams as a whole supports Miss Swenson even half as well as has her old Alma Mater, she will most likely become our first woman mayor in the city's history. That will cer- tainly be a big step towards advancement in the weaker sex's political campaign. Popularity of the idea has risen a great deal in the last few years but, why not, when so many other city oiTi- ces have been run efficiently by its successful candidates. Yes, hopeful and anxious watch will be centered on next Monday's election. A new improvement in the line of television has been introduced to the Berkshires by Dr. Barbara Warner, head of our local Medical Association. Her waiting room now is equipped with a tele-motion picture set. When asked for a better description of it, Dr. Warner said, It is built on the principle of television, can tune in on any theatre production within a radius of 200 miles, and is operated on a monthly fee basis. An idea as revolutionary as this one appears to be should meet with a demand on all sides. Now we're wondering, will more and more people become olTlce-visiting patients of Dr. Warner's in the weeks to come? Tonight's broadcast is the third under the establishment of this station's non-commercial system. The large surplus in the city funds for the last few years has been distributed to the city's radio stations by the Treasurer. This enables elimination of sponsors for a period of ap- proximately flve years. The City has done this with the thought of better social service to the public. We hope you will enjoy it!

Witnesses : Al Cat-WZ Claire McNine San Quentin Betty Gingras ZCLJJ Ong Tune: Loves Old Sweet Song Now as we leave these hallowed Drury halls, Life with its winding path before us calls, Deep in our hearts we feel your binding tie, As in review our memories pass us by. Games that we playedg our voices raised in song- Hard as we worked - we were a happy throng. Best of all, the friendships and the spirit true, These are gifts we treasure, many thanks, dear Dru, May we always love thee and whate'er our fate, May we do thee honor forever more, Our Class of Forty-eight. Marcin Windovei CLPQLUQ Fate visits a daisy-strewn hilltop overlooking a small, bustling city to select and distribute another armful of these flowers in the fast- moving world of today. As she stands glancing about her at the patches of fresh vibrant blossoms, she notices the oneness that these hundreds of little Bowers create. Yes, only one picture, one scene meets the eye, but how different each unit of this one whole is, when inspected more closely. Some are tiny, others large: some are sturdy, others weak, some are noticeably distinctive, others insignificant, but all are living, growing examples of God's wonder of creation. Having enjoyed peace under a clear blue sky while seeping up sunshine, and having withstood the winds, the rains, the gales and storms, each and every one has gained in some way. Probably some new characteristic has developed, or pos- sibly a more rugged stability has grown because of this. Now, they are to be uprooted from here. Where will they go? What purpose are they to serve? What has Fate' in store for their future? Only she knows. Wouldn't it be easy to compare Drury, our own Mother on the Hill , with this picture? Aren't we, graduates of her halls, to be sim- ilarly placed on the road of life to follow our own choice of career paths leading from it? And don't we have a splendid background of know- ledge acquired in classes, at assemblies, through extracurricula activi- ties, under our principal, teachers, and guidance director, by cooperative Work and play? Some of the questions of our future will be decided by Fate, we know. But don't ever forget, a lot, nearly all perhaps, of the answers are dependent upon us, our ideals, our actions, our hopes, our prayers, and our decisions. Let's make the most of our opportunities, and God grant success and happiness to all! Oyif ,g6lffLQf6CL! SENIOR LETTERMEN Mr. John Del Negro, Coach Richard DiLorenzo-guard Robert Kateley, Captain-center Lewis Kronick-forward Dean Brown-center Edward Sprague-forward Benjamin Davis-guard Captain Bob Kateley was by far the outstanding player on the Drury squad, if not in Berk- shire County. Bob set a new scoring record of 283 points in Northern Berkshire competition that will stand for many years to come. In concluding his fine high school career, he was not only chosen honorary captain of E. H. Toole's All-Berkshire selections, but first team center, on the annual All-Western Massachusetts team as well. Eddie Sprague was also a very valuable member of this year's hoop squad. Eddie joined the team before the initial Williamstown game and his presence sparked the team to six straight victories, Benny Davis and Richy DiLorenzo as guards, and Lewis Kronick and Deane Brown as forwards and centers respectively, proved themselves valuable men and gave good performances while they played. This truly was a fine team. ir 45 ,Z?cwLef6a!
