Our friends seem dearer, As time comes nearer, To say good-bye to the Blue and White that guides us right. And now we are going onward, To win our school much glory and fameg So keep your head up and keep on smiling, And you will find the sunshine through the rain. Now we are graduating, From our beloved home on the hillg We leave our classmates, we leave our teachers. But still our spirit and love will e'er be true. As long as God's stars are brightly shining- Our Alma Mater proudly will reign: So always think of our hours together and you will find your happiness again. Nancy Jane Chilson Barbara F osser CLASS HISTORY It is the week after graduation and two graduates of the Class of 1950 are seated on the front porch sipping lemonade and reminiscing over their never to be forgotten years at Drury. Do you remember our first week in school? All of us freshmen could be recognized by the awe-struck expression on our faces as we Wan- dered helplessly through the halls trying to spot our next period class. Well, you couldn't blame us after surviving initiations. I am sure we'll never forget how hard we had to scrub o-ur faces and arms to remove the lipstick. But we soon forgot the aches and pains and became real Druryitesf' After a couple of weeks of pranks, the upper classmen settled down, and school resumed its usual routine. Soon the Freshman Reception was just around the corner and we couldn't wait to be formally admitted into the circle. For us it was the best dance of the year. We certainly started out on the right foot by electing Matthew Crawford as President, Joseph Domenichini, Vice-President, and Edward Conti, Secretary-Treasurer. Before we knew it the Christmas vacations had come and gone, and then the weeks just whizzed by. Remember the basketball and baseball games? We won most of them, too, cheering our team until we were hoarse. Finally came final examinations and we were soon wise fools. Look, here's a program from the Sophomore Frolic. Remember all the fun we had decorating the gym? Even though our arms and legs still ached from the afternoon's work we had a wonderful time. By the way, do you remember the wonderful assembly Miss Sherman and the 'Thumbs Up' presented Armistice Day to honor Drury boys who lost their lives in the service of their country? That was just one of the many inspiring assemblies during the year. Before we knew it came Christmas and the Prom. Although the snowfall of the day left the sidewalks a little damp, I think the boys really enjoyed carrying their dates over the snowbanksf' And then came mid-years and more entertaining assemblies. Re- member Nutchuck, the Eskimo? and Mrs. Marguerite Shoemaker, the deep-sea diver who told us about her exciting work? Don't forget all those dreamy dances at the end of the year-the spring Carousel, the Senior Cabaret. and the Reception-they sure kept us hopping. By the way, our class oiiicers for that year were Ernest Manuel, President, Wayne Barcomb, Vice-President. and Barbara Pinsonneault, Secretary-Treasurer. At last the second of the four years at Drury had passed and we were Juniors. How quickly the time passed. We returned that year to find ourselves with a new Superintendent of schools, Mr. Robert Taylor and we bade farewell to Mr. Anketellf' We had elected our class 0l?lQIC91'S-P1'9Sld8llt, Paul Lesage. Vice- President, Janice Russett, Secretary, Doris Sorel, and John Gallese, Treasurer. After settling down to a new class schedule, the Freshman Reception was again upon us, along with the numerous other social events of the season. Yes, we remember well the football dance given in recognition of the team's winning the Berkshire County Championship for a second year. The team was presented with a huge cake decorated with Drury colors. The Christmas season arrived almost before we knew it, and. of course, the big social event at that time was the Drury Prom. This was the year the new auditorium seats were installed. and they made our assemblies, which were numerous and well chosen. more com- fortable and enjoyable. Back to school after Christmas vacation and with much more ahead of us. The first week back was a short one due to the flood which spoiled the drinking water and gave us a day off. Then we were all working to try and clear up the Cafeteria deficit, a problem which loomed before every student. Having a minstrel was a grand idea and it brought the Cafeteria out in the black again. The minstrel certainly brought to light a lot of unknown talent too. Soon came the Junior play, 'A Date With Judy' well presented and well received. We recall that the antics of the cast kept everyone in stitches. Then came Easter and our spring vacation, and we knew that our Junior year was drawing to a close and the present seniors would soon be leaving us. Was it really true? Yes, at last we were full fledged seniors. We elected for our class officers: Paul Lesage, President. Joseph Domenichini. Vice-President, Doris Sorel, Secretary, and John Gallese. Treasurer. This year the new Drury twirlers first appeared at the football games, and they certainly were an asset to the band. Along with the basketball season came Christmas and the annual promenade at the Masonic Temple. The senior class play. 'iLove is too Much Trouble was presented and enjoyed by everyone. The Drury Minstrel to benefit the music department was presented by a group of talented performers of Drury. About this time class pictures were seen being exchanged and the seniors were becoming more aware of the nearing graduation. The several members of the class of '50 who were honored by their admittance into the Pro Merito Society place our class on a par scholasti- cally with the best of those who have gone before. At the end of the season we had our numerous dances and it was spring before we knew it, with our week's vacation right around the corner. After this it was time for Senior activities to really come to life. The Class Banquet, Class Night and the first time we wore our caps and gowns. Then came our last formal dance, the Senior Reception. Then, too soon came that momentous occasion-Graduation when we left behind us, Drury on the hill. Barbara Kent Doris S ore! CLASS PROPHECY It is 1960 and we descend on Mars in our Flying Saucer piloted by Edmond Campbell. Stewardess Jean Beaudin points out the band which is about to greet us. It is composed of Frank Montesanti, conductor, The- resa Davison, June Adams and Holice Belding. At the airport we see Francis Denault putting up a poster advertising Dick Shupe's soda. This poster contains these facts: Dick Shupe's soda! Billy Cardimino, first to land on Mars, says, lt's swell . We hire a jet-propelled auto driven by Joe Brewer. On our way to Nancy Canedy's resort hotel, we pass Kay Day riding her winged horse. Hostess Frances Cirullo greets us upon arrival and in the lobby we see Shirley Dubreuil, the desk clerk. Our reservations were made by the resort staff to attend the basketball game between Mic ' Boschetti's Blue Devils and Jo-Ann Faour's Hot Shots . The outstanding player for the Blue Devils was Fran Brazeau and for the Hot Shots , Janice Fowler. Unfortunately our stay will be so short that we will only be able to see some of our classmates in action such as: the champion bowler, Pat Kittler and Ronnie Goss, now champion skater of the Universe. Driving back to the resort we are amazed to see Fran Roy, Police Chief, accompanied by his assistants Captain Bob Perry and Sergeant Dick Lawson about to raid a gambling house. That evening we have the pleasure of attending the Round-Go-Merry Night Club owned by Dave Betti. Harry Clark, singing waiter leads us to our table near the orchestra conducted by Hollis Herrington. Lois Mutart is David's private secretary. The two big hits of the evening are a trumpet solo by Neil Brothers and a tap dance by Edmond Dupuis. We are glad to see Jean Maxymillian, columnist for Mars Transcript, which is edited by Betty Cahill, join us at our table to talk over the success of the Drury Class of 50 . She tells us that quite a few are in business at Mis. Three of these successful people are Venice Lopardo, owner of the Snappy Soda Store, Elliot Rubin, an Atom Appliance dealer, and Bob Polumbo, proprietor of the Moon Cleaners. Along come Joan Whitney, a fashion designer and her model Bert Benvenuti. Speaking of fashion designers. did you know that Jim Shaw is also designing women's clothes? Carolyn Hayden who gives advice to the lovelorn is assigning Scott Lowe, an owner of an Escort Agency, to one of her clients. As we leave we see Wayne Barcomb. starring in Pepper Harrington's production of Love is not much trouble , written by Al Galipeau. He is accompanied by another writer. Sylvia Duperault. Just as we see him, Norma Tanner, Mars most prominent photographer, snaps his picture for Paul Lesage's advertising agency. Donald Moore, the door man, summons a taxi driven by Paul Bombardier and Paul informs us that Donald and Norman LaValley are partners in an oil company. Tired but happy, we retire! The next day we hire a bus to take us to Doris Allen's skiing establish- ment. We iind Roger Oakes is our bus driver and while there we see Herman Lincoln, who is a lumberjack, receiving ski instructions from Bruce Baumert. Looking around we notice a Ski Shop owned by Joyce Bernard. Bruce points out Leonard Kronick, owner of the Loan Agency, who has just lost his front to-oth in a fall and we offer to take him to the dentist, Dr. Vincent Tomaselli. We understand that his nurse is Joan Waterho-use. Len is sent to Dr. Wayne Benoit for a new tooth. While waiting for Leonard, we talk to Wayne's assistant Dot Cilli. We call our taxi and recognize Barbara Kent as the telephone operator. On the way back to the city we hear on the radio a campaign speech for Edward Filiault, who is running for re-election as President of Mars and his opponent is Governor Dewey Whitney, present leader of Drury State. On the following program we hear the famous pianist Anne Miller and her guest singer Mabel Amos. Then we visit the City Hall, the most modern building on Mars de- signed by Bud Anderson, famous architect and constructed by Donald Coughlin. We meet Paul Wilson who tells us that he owns the Flashy Ties Manufacturing Company. On our way to see Tony Luczynski, Commis- sioner of Public Works, we pass the oflice of the Justice of Peace, who is George Petropulos. He is talking with Mayor William Gaffey. We find out through Tony that Chuck Lesure is the Charles Atlas of Mars and Stan Lawrence has just become a lawyer. Just then Nick Davis, prom- inent engineer, comes in to discuss the contract he has concerning the building of a new bridge. So we leave! As we walk down the corridor, we see a door with Jack Murphy's name on it and we notice that he is Commissioner of Roads. Then we decide to go shopping. Entering Molloy's 5 .SL 10 cent store, we stop at counter 7 to buy Jerry Coutu's vitamin pills from clerk Betty Beckwith. She calls the floorwalker, June Benoit to get her some change. Walking down the street we recognize many names familiar to us. Some of them are Tommy Gregalis's Pet Shop, Beatrice Burdick's delica- tessan store, the Lino Piantoni Shop and the Charles Shea Printing Shop. We decide to enter the book store run by Lola Gigliotti. Brousing around we pick up a book whose author is Alec Cheesbro and publisher Carolyn Demo. We also notice a book of poems written by Jane Morrill. Later we look into a shoe. store run by Joe Arabia and see Steve Coz- zaglio modeling elevated shoes. We decide to have a soda in Freddy's Sweet Shoppe run by Freddy Zepka and our waitress is Josephine Galbo. Barbara Fosser comes over from her bakery shop across the street. She tells us that our friend Nancy Jane Chilson is a very successful actress. Barb also tells us that Jane Ladd is an interior decorator and that Gertrude York isnow running a yarn shop. We enter Roger Serre's television store and there to our surprise is a tennis match between Fa Labonte and Ann Lockwood, present champ. Before the match announcer Joe Demo inter- views Carlton Estes who runs a fish hatchery. Ann is hurt and Dr. Ernest Manuel and Nurse Joyce Clark attend her. Her manager Shirley Pugliese escorts her out, while Dot Pringle, Fa's Manager congratulates her. The following program is Manley Tyler, idol of the bobby soxers, with his guest star Phyllis Nichols. Getting hungry we decide to dine at Eddie Windover's restaurant. We recognize two waitresses as Barbara Dami and Carolyn Brown. Reading the paper we find that Roger Sala, District Attorney is investigating lotteries. We also see that new high-powered glasses have been invented by Eleanor Goff and manufactured by Camille Sarrauf. The distributor of these glasses is Emile Russett. Going to Square Madison Garden we pass Francis Comeau's Used Car Lot and Barbara Martin's flower shop. We stop at the ticket oliice to buy our tickets from Bruce Hopkins. After getting into our seats and looking at the program we see that Bill, the Red Kid Reeves is fighting Bob Knockout Potvin with Ray Bonneville as referee. The enthusiastic announcer is Jack Brooks. The notables who are present are Wayne Ross, famed Mars director, Dick Weiner fashion model for John Gallese's Model Agency. Kay Haumuller, another noted model, is with Dick. We were certainly proud of the owner of the Garden, Al Pedercini. Un our way out we meet the great artist Gary Oakes and his model Arlene Joseph. We learn that Phyllis Landry is a hairdresser for Doris Kately. We walk down the street and we notice an undertaking establishment owned by Bernard Murray. After going a little further, we decide to stop at a Coffee Shop owned by Joan Pilot. Our waitress is Ginger Reece and we notice that the catsup is made by Real Remillard. On hearing that Janice Williams is head nurse at Mars College, we visit her. Entering the college, whom should we meet but Carol Davis, a teacher at the Trade School there. She informs us that our old friend Pete Bonvouloir is the Dean and that Dot Gould is the gym teacher and Jack Pozzi the history teacher. While visiting the Dean, Betty Francis, his secretary, announces that Joe Domenichini, an insurance salesman, is here to sell football insurance to the players. Pete tells Joe to see Coach Matt Crawford about the matter. In the Chem Lab Charles Girard, a chemist, is consulting Janice Robinson, the book critic, on a New Practical Chemistry written by Helen Donega. Bob Desnoyers is certainly doing a wonderful job in directing the college band. Unable to find our way out of this large school Pat Franz, assistant principal, directs us to the door. That evening we stroll down to the great radio station M.A.R. to see its prosperous owners Leon Lesage and Richard O'Neil. At 6 o'clock the News Commentator is Al Richard. His main topic is The Invention of Squizolium by Theresa and Louis Casuscelli. He announces that Priscilla Grande, famous Congresswoman, took a great part in passing the twenty year Education Bill. The Sports News at 6:15 o'clock is given by Merton Roach, who emphasizes that George Duby was chosen coach of the year. Other highlights were that Donald Mulcahy broke the basket- ball record and that Doris Sorel was presented the skating award. The Comedy Team followed with Jerry McClelland and Gen Pisano presenting their version of How to Bake a Pie written by Jennie Cozzaglio. At 7 o'clock there is quiz show, Take it or Drop it with Harrison Atwood as master of ceremonies. The first contestant is Janice Russett, social worker. The question is: Who is the most popular singer today ? The answer of course, Mary Creps. The show is privileged to have as its second contestant, the famous motorcyclist, Valmore Richards. The sponsor of this show is William Romeo, manufacturer of DRURY cigarettes. During this program, time was set aside for Barbara Pinsonneault, so that she could give her talk on the Red Cross. We understand that Wayne Canedy's talent show is going on in the other studio, and, of course, the radio cer- tainly can't go on without their two engineers, Kenneth Burdick and Rudolph Boni. Just before we leave, the disk jockey, Joseph Gagliano, goes on the air. Next door to the radio station, we notice a women's hat factory, owned by James Pierce. We decide to visit it. Upon entering, we are greeted by his secretary, Ann Stetson. Manager Robert Williams calls Lucille Tondreau to show us around, but before leaving the ofiice, we notice designs of hats created by Dora Rotolo and Betty Perini. Seated in the display room are two charming models, Joan Filiault and Madeline Folino. While we are there, Connie Harrington, a buyer for Laura Belle Hemenway's Bonnet Shoppe, comes in. On our way back from the factory, we notice in lights the names of Eleanor DuBois and Johnny Foster who are members of the Famous Square Dancer's Team. A new sport shop owned by Peter Rancatti catches our eye. It certainly is a beautiful building. Wanting to bring souvenirs home, our first stop is at Gloria Dennett's jewelry store. She has as her clerks Dorothy Davison and Mary Anne Gamache who are kept very busy cleaning silver. In the window is a dis- play of the Rope Diamond designed by Shirley Battis. We learn that the diamond is sold to Joan Tovani, the gem collector. Janis Saulnier comes in to look at some watches manufactured by Connie Seasons and Barbara Richardson. Bidding everyone farewell, we drive to the Saucer Port in Jim Palmer's taxi. Lucille Demo, the airline hostess, and Tony Tassone, pilot, are there to meet us and off we go to the Earth ..... Claire Bianco Denise Cheuail Linda Lazwence Lois Scarbeau PROPHECY ON THE PROPHETS Throngs of people have gathered here at the Atom Bomb Airfield awaiting with anxiety the scheduled return of the world's foremost women scientists from Mars. These women have made themselves outstanding in their field, by doing what no man would have dared do. They have ex- plored the unknown realm of Mars. A speck can be seen rapidly approaching the field. The crowd goes wild! Shouts can be heard-l lt's a flying saucer , Hot Lunches are now being served in the Atom Coffeepotf' It's the rocket plane. No, it's just a sparrow winging its way across the horizon. As the wind blows the sparrow a little to the right, the rocket plane can be seen. Through the cloud of dust, we see Linda Lawrence emerging from the plane followed by her colleagues Claire Bianco, Lois Scarbeau and Denise Chenail. Before we can reach them, they are surrounded by a mob of reporters, who can be heard asking intelligent questions. What are the latest fashions? Are the skirts long or short? How are they wearing their hair? Are there any eligible men? Lois Scarbeau, the psychological and social scientist, after making frantic motions with her arms and shouting quietly soon calms the crowd. Linda, taking advantage of the sudden silence, begins her short three hour speech on the development of weeds on Mars. Claire Bianco, the music scientist, quickly takes Lindais place on the platform and gives her rendi- tion of the classical trend of music in Mars. She sings it in the Martian language, and when it is translated we find it means, We are happy Mar- tian Morons With Mischief in our Eyes . Last but not least, Denise Chenail steps up to the platform to tell us of her discoveries regarding animal life on Mars. Just as she begins to speak, a commotion is heard in the customs ofiice. The custom's attendant discovered a family of Martian skunks which Denise brought back with her to illustrate her talk on animal life. The crowd quickly disperses and with this pleasant thought we bid adieu.

We realize that we may never see some of our class- mates after graduation, for as we separate each one of us will set out to reach the goal he has set for himself. As we come to the crossroads, where each of us must decide upon which road to take, We know that the paths will vary. Some of us will go on to colleges and universities to further our education and to prepare for professional work. Others will put the training they have received at Drury to practical use and enter offices and factories. We know, however, that, no matter what path we choose, each of us will endeavor to attain the goal which we have set for ourselves, and that we will all go forth with a determination to overcome any obstacles which lie between us and success. Although we say good-bye at graduation, do not think that the friend- ships that have been established here at Drury will be forgotten. At the class reunions in later years these friendships will be renewed, and we will once again pledge ourselves to uphold the ideals and principles that we have learned here at Drury. One of these ideals is illustrated in the following quotation taken from the works of a great editor: Only one thing endures-character! How little else it is that matters. For, in a way, our world is a college, events our teachers, happiness the graduating point and character the diploma God gives to man. We of the graduating class of 1950 are the future men and women of America, and to us lies the great responsibility of making our country a better and safer place for future generations. In order to meet this re- sponsibility, we must continually practice the ideals of democracy that have been taught us during our four years at Drury. Let us prove that we can be as good citizens as we have been classmates, regardless of race. religion, or creed. Let us show that we can and will go forth with a de- termination to succeed. and to make Drury, our Alma Mater, forever proud of us. As we say Farewell , we want it to be known to this great school that it comes from the bottom of our hearts and not merely from our lips. We want it to be known that we shall always be indebted to the teachers we have had for the valuable knowledge they have given us that we only get out of life what we put into it. I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more. And I had to beg at evening When I counted my scanty store. For Life is a just employer. He gives you what you ask- But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed. That any wage I had asked of Life- Life gladly would have paid.

Since the team finished with a record ot' 12-ltl. the results were perhaps not impressive and they did not do justice to Foach Boisvert and the players. Although finishing third in the pennant race. Drury developed the most improved ball player in the league. George Petropulos who didn't even gin out for the team. was talked into joining' the club and after at few games he became the backbone of the team and led them to many of their victories. Another senior who starred on the court was Fred Zepka. His fighting spirit and all-around team work was a big' factor in many ot' the Drury wins as he always went all out for Drury. His hard work gave the team that extra zip in the close ones. We shall nat forget the outstanding' work of Francis Brazeau. He made many opponents lose their last hope when he displayed his keen eye for the hoop. A fine basketball player and outstanding' sportsman he set a splendid example for those who will follow in his footsteps. Peter Rancatti and Wayne Barcomb were two valuable forwards during the season. They proved to be the cream of Drury's reserve strength and could always be counted upon to do their best in the game. We at Drury are proud to have as fine a man as Coach Boisvert to guide us through the basketball season. An example of good sportsmanship himself. he inspired it in the members of the team also. We say Good Luck to him in the future and ask for a whole hearted backing by all Druryites.
