PICCIRILLO THOMAS R. SAUNDERS At THE PHILOMATH -4 7 0 C On a morning dark and dreary, As I slept so weak and weary, I heard a knocking at my chamber door. My mother called me softly. Sh! She said, Get up, you lazy bum! Thus it was that I and a few hundred other sopho- mores commenced our high school careers. Wednesday, September 4, 1940, was quite a day, and no kidding. After being duly initiated by the seniors and juniors (which included being sent on wild goose chases, etc. ) we forgave and forgot and set- tled down to just being the best class in the history of F. H. S. This was a breeze, for with such a swell bunch as we had, how could we fail ? Don ' t mistake our pride for conceit, because anyone who belonged to our class had a right to be proud. In October, when the seniors had found out just how good we really were, they threw us the traditional splash, the Senior- Sophomore Dance. We elected Miss Fitzgerald as our class adviser, a position which ordinarily should have lasted for three years. Mr. Sullivan, however, thwarted our aims by marrying her in June. Who could blame him? In the middle of our sophomore year we elected class officers. That was a job and a half with the swell material we had to choose from, but so what! We were a class and a half! The victors after final elec- tions proved to be Arnold Ferrari, presi- dent; Mary Clinton, vice-president; Peg MacCormick, secretary; and Honest John Silva, treasurer. After elections we studied (more or less) until May. Yes, you guessed it; came the Junior Prom. The fellas, looking pretty sharp in soup ' n fish, and the girls, in their variegated sacks, trotted off to Nevins Hall, where they showed even the upperclassmen a trick or three. f f We were just going strong when (can you beat it! ), in June, they closed the school on us. The teachers needed to re- cuperate and, naturally, we didn ' t deny them their vacation. Incidentally, we had one, too. The following September the teachers, being fully recovered, and we, feeling com- pletely refreshed, returned to the halls of our alma mammy. It was tough being juniors. We were duly respected by the sophs but nonchalantly scorned by the seniors. Since our first class adviser had been wooed away from us, we had to elect an- other. This time we chose Miss Neal, the most popular teacher at F. H. S. Next on the program were the junior elections. The following became our class representatives: Lefty Morris, presi- dent; Mary Clinton, vice-president; Mary O ' Malley, secretary, and Sidney Greeley, treasurer. We inaugurated these officers to serve for life, good behavior, or the dura- tion of the school year. Tempus fugited until May, when com- mittees were elected to prepare a Junior Prom for the graduating seniors. As usual, we came through heads up and gave them a shindig which has never been topped in the annals of F. H. S. Then the seniors graduated and we, the juniors, were the Big Chiefs — for a week. Again came vacation time. We had run the teachers so ragged that they demanded ten weeks ' time to mend their edges. Then ensued a peaceful summer. But all things must come to an end, and so did the sum- mer. But fast! One September morn we found our- selves yawning in school again bright and early. Well, early anyway. (Continued on page IS) 8 h- THE PHILOMATH T Part I. Well, who would have believed it? There I was, Wally Burgess, fifteen years out of high school and playing second fiddle in Bob Ycaton ' s famous ' ' one night stand orchestra, although we did have ex- cellent musicians such as Robert Moulton, vocalist extraordinary, and Clifford Milli- ken, clarinetist known throughout the country. As I was saying, while passing through Nebraska on our way to Holly- wood to play an engagement, I noticed from the train window many old class- mates. As William Martin peddled fruit up and down the aisle, I looked out the window and saw Jim Waters shucking corn on his one-half acre farm. Also shucking were such notables as Lewis Pierce and Gino Basoli. As we passed through the next small town, I noticed iceman Louis Abelli and garbageman Robert Porter were performing their duties well. At Road Ditch, Nebraska, the train slowed down to let a road race pass. In the lead was Louis Bengiovanni, pursued not too hotly by Bob King and John Antul. They weren ' t really in the race but still lived in the sticks and were running to catch a bus. On the last farm as we left Nebraska, Margaret Geoghegan was observed milk- ing cows. We stayed in Running Water, Colorado, that night in a hotel run by Lucy Dauphi- nee, who had been so good at short chang- ing — er, I mean shorthand in school. As I entered the dining room, waitresses Helen Shearer and Marjory Brady rushed up to wait on me. On glancing at the menu pre- pared by dietitian Mary Cunningham, I feigned illness and left. Since Running Water was the home of the famous Perl- mutter Science Laboratories, where so many wads of cotton had been developed in the last war, I took a taxi, driven by Anthony Schiavi, to the plant. I was greeted by Murray Waldron, the vice- president in charge of the president, who always had looked over President Howard Perlmutter and especially his scientific papers. Mr. Waldron took me to the test- ing room, where Margaret MacCormick was testing the appeal of new cosmetics on a very interested inspector, Sidney Gree- ley. Passing on to the bookkeeping de- partment, I discovered Virginia Dexter keeping tabs on, of all things, books. On the assembly line femininity at its best was represented by old classmates Dorothy Burke and Mary Garrity. In the explo- sives room Francis Campion was testing powder. He was also testing lipstick and rouge. My brain awhirl, I left the plant by the main entrance, where guards John Merchant and Joe O ' Connell were watch- ing all ( and I mean all ! ) . The next day our train started on its final leg to Hollywood. I had a friend there, one Francis Carini, who was a critic, producer and director ( washings done dirt cheap ) . He had promised to show me around, and sure enough, after meeting me at the station he took me to Gigantic Stu- dios to see such famous movie stars as Janet It-ain ' t-what-you-do-it ' s-the-way- that-you-do-it Wilcox, and that super wolf on the screen (and in real life, too) John Valentino Dunn. While on the set of Charley Chan in Casablanca, played by John Silva (he left Barbara years ago), I saw Ted Stillwagon making love to Dot Tosti (still). Desiring a less romantic atmosphere, I left Francis and headed for the Stork Club, now run down by Arthur Fronda, who always vowed he ' d get some- thing for nothing. He was not very ca- THE PHILOMATH -4 9 pably assisted by Henry Welch, bouncer, Richard Goodwin, doorman, and Dorothy McKinstry, hat check girl. The floor show was starting, so after tipping head waiter George Rcni a dime, I was seated. First on the program was that famous dance team of Pauline Galvin and Stanley Kus- tron, closely followed by the police in the form of policewomen Vera Montanari and Ruth Hoban. Next came the three Kube- linsky sisters, who were really Marie Chis- holm, Concctlina Guglielmo and Wilhcl- mina Long. They sang? The featured vocalist, Mary (Pant-pant) O ' Malley, was temporarily indisposed, so a trio composed of Ruth Saf strom and Lucille Morini per- formed. After being revived, I sought something of interest, and sure enough I found man- about-town Harry Devine talking to Jeanne McAuley, who apparently didn ' t know Harry. As the clock struck one, I saw jogging my way those two insepa- rables, Al Haskins and Bob Norton. They were on their way home from their place of employment, the local pool parlor. In seeing them safely on their way, I encoun- tered Dana Leavitt, who ran a bookie establishment. Leaving Dana penniless (my dice), I next came upon Mary Fer- riter and Dorothy Clinton coming home from Lockheed. They told me of the mis- adventures of Cynthia Foster, who is still in a certain history class; of Dawn Leon- ard, who has a very flourishing date bu- reau; and of Robert Johnson, who, turned down by all major, minor and semi-pro ball teams, finally joined the Phillies. The last person I saw before I entered my hotel was Mary Clinton, leading Charles Major by the arm. It seems Charles had been drafted late in 1943 and has been trying to get home from Devens ever since. As for Mary, well let ' s let her tell her own story. Part II. Yes, I ' d like to tell you my story, as it ' s quite a tale. First, let me explain my pres- ence here in Hollywood. As a hat buyer of Fred Vitali ' s exclusive Chapeaux de Monde shop in New York, I was sent there to arrange for a shipment of the much raved about plastic hats modeled by Marie Lavallce. I arrived one night at eight o ' clock and went straight to Irene Mailhoit ' s house, as I always did when I went to Hollywood. She was a very suc- cessful secretary to those super-producers, Albert DeCollibus and John Collins. Since my business appointment was scheduled for eleven o ' clock the next morning, Irene instructed her butler, Robert Speed Richardson, to serve me breakfast when- ever I rang. However, I arose at seven o ' clock, ate, decided to do some shopping, and then have my hair set. Eight-thirty found me entering a huge department store managed by Allan Noyes, who told me that he had two good floorwalkers in Barbara Bryant and Olga Pezza, so I went to see them. They in turn told me that Gild a Aceti, Irene Barrett and Tina Colombo were also employed there. Leaving the store, I noticed Aurora Cas- ciolini, who stopped long enough to explain to me that she was a reporter on the Hollywood Gazette, now edited by Dick Ryan, and was going to court to write up the case of Otis Dyer, who was charged with giving Mary McKenna ' s pet dog a butch. She said at the last hearing that lawyer David Gavin had had the jury in tears over the poor thing. Then off she went, and I meandered over to the Dream Room Salon. whose proprietor was Arnold Ferrari. He ushered me over to his best hair stylist, Basil Vcrdy, who set my hair. After that he convinced me that I should have my nails manicured, so I sat at the table patiently waiting for the manicurist; however, when I saw George Mooney coming, I hastily changed my mind (woman ' s prerogative, you know ) . Then I dropped into a florist ' s shop to buy a rare plant that I liked, only to find Tony Leonardo, the owner, with 10 THE PHILOMATH Mary Tambollio and Pauline Vella, his pleasing helpers. From there I took a bus, driven by Charles Foster, to Maureen Moron ' s Plastic Corporation. While find- ing a seat on the bus, Mary Hanley and a Little boy caught my attention. She told me that she was married and the little boy was her son, Ralph, Jr. She also told me that recently she had attended the wedding of Melita Sargent, whose charming brides- maids had been Rita Welch and Mary Young. Bidding her good-by at the Plastic Corporation, I walked up the main en- trance into doorman Nancy Burkes ( since the last war you never can tell what jobs your old classmates might hold ) . Entering the building, I was delighted to find Polly Piper, receptionist; Doris Gar- barino and Eleanor Gumben, efficient sec- retaries; Sis Mathicu, occupying the in- formation booth; and Francis Macchia- roli, janitor. As I strolled into the elevator, Thelma Cavatorta was breaking in Evo Castclli to run it. Rather than disturb them, I walked to Maureen ' s office on the fourth floor. She was busy at the moment, so I waited in the reception room with her private secretary, Patricia Bangs. We turned on the radio just as announcer Ruth Campbell stated that a contest was about to begin between housewives Molly Ducey, Kathleen Langley and Doris Bianchetti to see who could do a week ' s washing in just five minutes with that colossal new soap, It ' s Better than Swan. At that moment Maureen came out, so I don ' t know who won the contest. I selected our order, then with my business complete I rode back to town to meet my hostess for lunch. She took me to a quiet little tearoom run by Janice Connors and Margaret Irvine, with Bertha Seltzer cashier. After lunch I thanked her for a pleasant visit and told her that I was leaving at four o ' clock. On my way to the station I saw Dot Stcacie and Shirley Taft selling hot dogs. When I arrived there I saw Eleanor Gillis and Grace Stucchi, who had just got off the train to give Hollywood a going over. I bought a magazine from Louise Murray, who had a newspaper stand, and boarded the train. I browsed through the magazine and saw several clever cartoons drawn by Dot McLean; then I fell asleep. When I awoke I was home, that is, ex- cept for an hour ' s drive. I dropped into a little Fashion Shop to see an old friend, Majoric Dauley, who told me that Anna Palladino and Charlotte Putnam were going to Europe with a ballet troop, headed by Pat DcMauro. Then I picked up my car and started home. I ha d been driving for about half an hour when a motor car came speeding out of a street and side- swiped me. That ' s all I remember until I awoke in a New York hospital to see Dr. Jeanne Donnelly, who told me that I ' d live, and that Lillian Minczzi and I had had a little bang-up, but we ' d be all right. However, I found I had my head band- aged, a broken arm and a few scratches to keep me company. Before I dozed off again I saw nurses Dot Morehouse, Alice Lewis, Doris Kimball and Rosalyn Lebc- wohl stroll pass the door. Part III. I left Mary in the care of capable James Fair, who was an intern at the hospital. Then I left him in charge of Virginia Gal- lagher and Shirley Foster, who I knew would watch him very carefully. Well, I hurriedly left the hospital for a conference in Boston. When I entered the taxi, the driver, to my surprise, was Fred Garry, who told me that he was now mar- ried to Virginia Domey. We raced to the airport, and I met my very attractive nurse, Winifred Acton, surrounded by such me- chanics as Tommy Saunders, James Rollins and John Travaglini. Rescuing her from the wolves, I hurriedly bought tickets from John Santos, who flirted dreadfully with Winnie. We then boarded the plane and saw Clementina Nicoli as pilot and Irene Li Pore as hostess. After being comfort- THE PHILOMATH 4 11 ably seated, I looked around and noticed a distinguished gentleman sitting on my right. After gazing at him for some time I asked if he weren ' t John Spcranza. John told me that he was going for his annual visit to his former wife, Rita LcBlanc. After arri ving in Boston, Winifred went to visit Pauline Dalton and Jane Suprena, who were now noted models. I went to the Professional Hotel run by Gilbert Par- menter, where many famous people stay. Among the guests I now found David Morse, who excelled in physics, and Bertha Perlmutter , who was known for her debates. I then called in a secretary to type some love letters. When Lillian Oliva and Evelyn Ralston both walked in, I thought the class of ' 43 was having a reunion. Evelyn told me that Phyllis Han- son was now the secretary to Sumner Viall, president of Saxonville; and he had as his private errand girl Marion Hughes. Then I went to the conference and heard a speech given by Douglas McDonald, who still had that special way with women. Paul Dyczewski illustrated his talk with fine drawings. Leaving the build- ing, I saw Roy Capra collecting stray dimes, so I took him over to the Copley Plaza, where I bought him a cup of coffee. He told me his old friend Leo Missaggia, who was a rich lawyer, passed him daily and wouldn ' t even speak to a poor old man. After slipping Roy a nickel I con- tinued on my way. A few streets farther on I noticed a crowd gathering, so I elbowed my way to the front and saw Audrey McGrath and Kay Galloni dem- onstrating a beauty preparation con- cocted by Marilyn Lucy. It promised re- sults in two days, and so after looking at the faces obtained by Aud or Kay, business seemed to be doing pretty well. Continuing my way, I noticed walking toward me a girl just out of a fashion magazine. Looking more closely, I ob- served the face of LaMora Heiber. Ad- vancing further, I saw Jean Hollander teaching Edward Guardiani and Charlie Flagg how to rhumba, a dance which in- cidentally was still in style. Celestina Antonioli was accompanying them on the accordion, while Flora Gittleson was play- ing the harp. I thought the sidewalk was a queer place for a dancing lesson, when suddenly Robert McLaughlin, a police- man, loudly entered the group, hollering something about breaking it up. It seemed that they were a team trying to get money illegally and had been caught more than once. Leaving them, I walked along. Just as I was about to enter my hotel I heard a loud playing, and turning around, I saw Helen Graham stepping up high as drum majorette. Behind, Mary Boyle was swinging a march. Then glancing at my watch, made by Sybil Schurzky, I quickly dressed for my date with Jack Kinnarney. After calling Wallis Morse in to polish my shoes and Jeanne Wood to apply my lip- stick, I calmly waited for Jack. He di dn ' t bring me any flowers because I guess he had spent all of his money for the tickets. During the opera he romantically held my hand while he drooled over Helen Tor- diglioni, who was singing. On the way home in the taxi I suggested that we stop at the exclusive diner of William Ryan. Jack looked doubtful and then counted his money again, but we finally got there. Barbara Summerlin skated over on roller skates to take our order, and I practically had to hold Jack in his chair. Even though the place was small, Bill managed to have Anne Walsh ' s act, which included Jean McCaidey, Eleanor Fiorio and Annette Varicchioni. They certainly had enough encores. Eve- lyn Borghi had a tray of rotten apples that she was selling and Eleanor Canelli was selling stale bread. Suddenly there was a burst of noise, and amid ardent admirers Elena Guerra and Alma Morazzini en- tered. Elena rushed over to see me and told me that she had just left Elaine Croft and Gertrude Smith in a shooting gallery. 12 }• - THE PHILOMATH where they were determined to hit the gong. Elena pointed out Violet Green- wood, and her inseparable Tony was still with her. Elena then returned to soothe Jack Clopeck, who had recently broken up with Mary and was now trying to heal his heart under the charms of Elena. After tipping the waitress two cents and wonder- ing if it were too much, Jack and I started to walk to my hotel. On the way we saw Thelma Marenghi, Mary MacLeod and Josephine Zichclla arguing among them- selves as to which way was the shortest to the subway; as far as I know the argu- ment may still be going on. Then in a side stree t we noticed Dot Kennedy and Mary Genesco practicing basketball for the big game at Natick the next day. Mary in- formed me that they had been practicing since morning and were about dead, but they weren ' t going to leave until they had made one basket each. On the steps to my hotel there was a long pause, and then Jack left, and I again entered my room. Virginia Pollena then tucked me into bed and saw that I had everything that I needed. The next morning Mary M espelli, who was a very successful dietitian, called me and said Bobbie Yeaton and his cele- brated orchestra were in town. So I called Norma Bernadoni, who usually knew everything, and asked where Bob was. To my surprise, I found out that he was in the same building as I. So, quickly dressing, I madly dashed to his room and pushed my way through newspapermen. We finally had a few minutes together and he said that he was making a special trip to Fram- ingham, but I ' ll let him tell you about that. Part IV. Having had the delightful surprise of meeting my old classmate, Dr. Jeanne Donnelly, I then proceeded through the crowd. Suddenly I was seized from the rear. I turned around and saw Lennie Ball and Tom Ahearn. They wanted to know if they could join the band, but I told them sadly, No! The reason was that everybody hears good bands, but I hire only the worst musicians. It provides variety and nobody knows what to expect. That night was the night for the musical quiz show. Among the contestants were Francis Arcudi, Rita Beland and Char- lie Bracken, who finally bribed me into letting him get the right answer so that he could tell his friends that he was getting more and more brilliant every day. Seeing so many of my classmates, I asked over the microphone to have all the F. H. S. grad- uates of the Class of ' 43 come up to the bandstand and we would then have them play selections for us. The first to dash up was John Furber, the noted author, who wrote How to Be a Wolf in Better Than 38 Seconds, Woo-Woo! Then came Margie Foss and her slush-pump ( trom- bone to you ) . Her selection made Tommy Dorsey turn pale and even to a dark green. The next to play for us was Joan Sander- son, the boogie-woogie queen of the piano. I found out from her that she had recently been in Hollywood, playing the female lead in Two ' s Enough, Three ' s a Crowd, I Want to be Alone! , while her leading men were Romeo Pendolari and Dick Crane (called Derrick for a lift). Sudden- ly there came a weird scream. I rushed over to see what had happened. Someone had fainted. When I arrived on the scene, there was Dr. Edward Davis, the eminent veterinarian, giving Charlie Gardner a blood transfusion from a dog, while Charlie was yelling Woof-Woof at some blonde who was passing by. Seeing that everything was all right, I returned to the bandstand and the Star-Spangled Banner was played. While playing it, I noticed that one fellow was sleeping. After he had been awakened by an usher, I knew that it was Edward Capobianco, who worked days at the Carr Automobile Factory, where Sherwood Automobile ( pardon me ) Carr was president of the company. I then left the hotel to go home and sleep. THE PHILOMATH -Hi 13 As I went out to the street, there were Jean Lee, Sheila Finn, Jean Gechan, Dot Chiappini and Irene Day all walk- ing with Austen Moran. I later found out that they were all working for the Powell Model Agency under the direction of Steve Powell. This was the place where girls went as B-24 ' s and came out as P-48 ' s. I hailed a cab and someone yelled back at me. It was Stanley Toczdlowski, the cab driver. He told me that he ' d never learned how to drive but he liked to drive fast anyhow. After finishing a ride of sheer horror, I went into my hotel and finally to sleep. Tomorrow I would return to gocd old Framingham. The next morning I journeyed to the Boston Airport and went over to Yeaton ' s Yumping Yiminey, my plastic airplane that used air for fuel. (Mr. Bush take note. ) Having no pilot, I called the con- trol tower and asked for a complete crew to fly the plane. Soon after my crew ar- rived, and it comprised all my old friends. There were Miriam Luby, Kay Towne, Jeannette Smith and Barbara Shoup, who were considered to be the top flight fliers of the twentieth century. With a crew like this the band was content. After waiting two hours for the second fiddler to arrive, we took off for Framingham. After five long minutes we arrived in good old Framingham ( fast plane, wasn ' t it? ). There was a large crowd to greet us and give us cheers, mostly Bronx. Among them were Carl Goddard, Dario Guernieri, Dick Manning, Marie Hanagan, Mary Hill, and the number one racing car driver of the nation, Lead Foot Ernest Hed- berg. While going up Union Avenue I saw a large billboard advertising the Jack Benney of the female world — Miss Bar- bara Turner and her violin. Along with Miss Turner were Mary O ' Brien and Eileen Kceje, the celebrated yodele rs. The accompanists were those three tender young gentlemen, Tony Piccirillo and the clarinet twins, Joseph Messana and Vinnie Mislrelta. I journeyed to the high school, where I found that Donald Ephlin was the prin- cipal. It had been his one desire to be a principal, and now he was wishing to join the Foreign Legion or something worse. The school ' s math wizards, Fred and Bob Kinnarney, were trying to explain why two times two made four while two plus two made four also. These Einsteins were completely baffled. Jean McGowan and Joseph Nickerson were the heads of the English and French departments respec- tively. Both were teaching the modern slang to students who knew it much better already. I learned from Principal Ephlin that Ralph Langley and Robert Morini were generals at Washington. Arline Lind- gren was an admiral in the Marines; this explains why the Marines were the best trained branch. She was able to get things done. Desiring to see all of Framingham, I called for a special bus from the Rovinelli Runaway Bus Company, ably headed by Libera Rovinelli. Bidding Principal Ephlin good-bye, I rode to the Sudbury River Steamship Company depot, where Richard Whitney was the man in charge. He was giving his hired hands, Paul MacDonald, Robert Wood and Fred Starzyk a mis- sion to carry out by kayak while he went to the ball park with me. I found out that Whitney had been fooling the public ter- ribly. He would send his hired hands down the river in a kayak and would have them smoke cigars so that from the smoke ris- ing people would think that it was a steam- ship. At the ball park I rooted for nine innings as Lefty No-hit Morris pitched a no-hit game. ( Odd coincidence. ) I noticed that in the ball park there was a large Community Chest poster painted by the eminent artist, Albert Giardini. I finally returned to the business sec- tion of Framingham and did a little busi- (Continued on page 54) 14 h- THE PHILOMATH GlaU Will r LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS CLASS OF 1943 We, the Class of ' 43, being of question- ably sound mind and unquestionably sound body (as witness the 1-A ' s about to be drafted), do solemnly swear and avow this document to be the expression of our heritage for those succeeding us, and for the faculty as a whole and as individuals ( for some of them certainly are individ- ual). We, the aforesaid class, leave as re- quired reading several volumes of Sir Thomas More ' s Utopia for harassed and disillusioned members of the faculty. We, the woebegone, bedraggled, and completely supine Class of ' 43, leave to the more masterful members of the faculty a treatise on the dangers of inhibited self- expression. We, the slightly disgusted and more or less hopeless class, do leave to the future editor of the Student Crier a complete set of unused ideas (which he undoubtedly will never use ) for the improvement of said publication. We, the tongue-tied Class of ' 43, leave a dictionary of original pronunciations to Miss Benton. (Written with Mr. G. D. Lundberg as contemporary author. ) We, being mindful of everyone else ' s mistakes as well as those of our own, leave Mr. Small a new gas mask to replace the old one he keeps in his office as protection against those experiments that didn ' t turn out just as they were expected to. We, having often been rescued from the brink of a test, leave a set of printed in- vitations to be sent to friends in the armed forces. ( Those who make them out should remember to state the time so that there will be a special broadcast in the middle of Mr. Bush ' s physics class.) And now we come to the bequests of a more personal but equally irrelevant na- ture. I, Lefty Morris, being in a position of popular attention and therefore feeling the need for a bequest, leave my best wishes for the incoming class. I, Mary ( Busybody) O ' Malley, leave to some similarly gifted female of the next class my ability to out-talk any member of my class. We, Basil Verdy and George Mooney (the Laurel and Hardy of F. H. S.), leave Mr. Daniels a picture of ourselves to cheer him between the innings when things look bad. I, Fred (Sheik ) Vitali, leave to some in- coming Don Juan special directions for better grooming (even how to wave your own hair). I, Red (Hey! Look at Me) Waldron, leave to an unusually lucky member of the succeeding class my knack for con- sistently doing the wrong thing and having it come out all right. I, Don ( Hep-cat ) Ephlin, leave to some nervous soul the habit of ruining teachers ' nerves by beatin ' it out on anything with- in reach. I, George (Matchstick) Reni, leave a standing offer to tutor anyone in the ' ' Reni system of dancing. This consists of lean- ing ' way over backward and letting your partner dance in a circle around you. I, Wallace (Cutie) Burgess, leave to an innocent-looking member of the incoming class a list of dumb, disconcerting, but de- cidedly apropos questions for better heck- ling earnest pedagogues. I, Lou (Adonis) Abelli, leave to the best-looking member of the next class my profile and my far-away look, which often THE PHILOMATH -4 15 conies in handy when I am being asked a difficult question. I, Jeanne ( Did-You-Hear-About-So- and-So?) Donnelly, leave my ear for gossip and nose for news to anyone in the next class who has no self-conscious- ness or pity in her character. I, Elena (Bashful) Guerra, leave open for pretty applicants my undisputed posi- tion as the quietest marshal. I, John (Genius?) Antul, leave a deep breath to the one in any future class who thinks that he can talk as long or as often as myself. We, Swede Hedberg and Uncle Bengio- vanni (the Mutt and Jeff of high school), leave Mr. Jones a revised edition of track rules which will allow Swede to jump any way at all, and Uncle to run in every race until the opposition gives up. I, Jean McAuley, leave to Sue Merriam a perfect voice for saying, I ' m only tree an ' a half years old. As given in Ward 228 of the Framing- ham Unsanitorium on the seventeenth day of the fifth month in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty- three, and duly witnessed by: Roberta Polepsky Eva Costello H. Victor Perlsputter Edwin Stillwagging and the class l(aw)yer J. Antonius Duhnne. We, the Class of 1943 leave the High School! (Continued from page 7) We were amazed to hear that again we had to elect a class adviser. Honestly, it was getting to be a routine. This time we elected Miss Wiley, who had also been ad- viser to the Class of ' 42. After working with Miss Wiley for a year, all we can say is, There ought to be a schoolful. We planned a gala Senior-Sophomore dance to welcome the incoming Class of ' 45. It was a howling success, as anything promoted by our class would naturally have to be. Election time rolled around again and the class leaders were: Lefty Morris, president; Mary Clinton, vice-president; Mary O ' Malley, secretary, and Porky Collins, treasurer. Our athletic teams under the leadership of Lefty Morris, Billy Ryan, Sid Gree- ley, Basil Verdy, and Bill Martin piled up an impressive string of victories and really gave the school something to root for. The days had gone by on roller skates and we found ourselves approaching grad- uation faster than somewhat. Before we knew it we were in the midst of gradua- tion activities. Junior Prom . . . Band Concert . . . Class Night . . . Music Fes- tival. . . . All these events seemed to trans- pire in a dizzy haze, or a hazy diz, or some- thing. Then on the night of June 18 we walked the last mile down Nevins Hall, up the stairs, across the stage, down the stairs, and back to our seats. We came out of it all clutching a diploma and we knew that this was farewell to F. H. S. forever. Fred Vitali.
