The Officers and Directors of the Framingham Trust Company extend cordial greetings to the students and faculty of our High School. This is a local institution, in the community for your service. One way in which we may be of particular help to High School students is through giving them an opportunity to visit our banking rooms for the purpose of witnessing the routine work of a financial institution. We shall be happy to have groups from the High School avail themselves of this privilege at any time. In addition, we have officers who will gladly visit your classrooms for the purpose of talking briefly on the history and development of banking.

H. S. Little did the teachers realize the impor- tance of our class! Little did the upper- classmen acknowledge the persisting en- durance and the dominating courage of us, the sophisticated sophomores. We had been here but a month when the seniors threw a shindig for us in Lin- coln School Hall. They called it the Senior- Soph Dance, and what a reasonable price for us Sophs! In the beginning our class appeared to be an ignorant one, for during the first term no one made the High Honor Roll. Many tears were shed, I presume, over this strange calamity! As tradition had it, each sophomore class elected a class adviser. The first choice of our class was none other than the petite and charming Miss Mary Cunning- ham. Her careful guidance and good lead- ership have placed our class in the ranks of the best. Our heartiest congratulations to her for such a splendid job! A few months later, there were still no names on the high honor roll for soph- omores. My, my, what shame on our class! Along in March came the results of our sophomore election! We chose Donald Chasse, President; Madeline Falconi, Vice-President; Irene Vitali, Secretary; and Paul Flaherty, Treasurer. A great surprise came o ' er the Sophs in May. Yes, that rare miracle had hap- pened! That unexpected goal was attained ( or something ) ! Kenneth Speigel made the High Honor Roll. Mother, pin a rose on Ken! The end of our Sophomore year was in sight and the summer vacation looked very promising! (Promising from the stand- point that we could stay up late at night and get up late in the morning! ) When we returned to our Elmer Mat- ter in the following September, we were no longer those puny, undernourished sophomores! No, we had now risen to the rank of powerful and charming juniors! (So we told ourselves! ) The first name in the news during our junior year was that of Nancy Ford for her achievement in making the high honor roll. At last we were giving a true example of our class, scholastically and extra-cur- ricularly. For the second time in our high school career we were called upon to elect class officers. Our choices again turned out to be excellent, as we elected Robert Ablondi to be President of our Class; Nancy Ford, Vice-President; Martha Boyle, Secretary; and David Edwards, Treasurer. Our years progressed peacefully until the time arrived for the arrangement of affairs for our Junior Prom. We were very busy trying to make it the best Prom ever ! Through the utmost efforts of all those in charge, the dance turned out to be a splen- did affair. Once again came the time of the year for the students to go home and sleep for ten weeks and the teachers to go out and work! (Or was it the other way around?) Coming back to dear old Framingham High School in September of ' 44, we were now on the last lap of this twelve-year job. We were seniors! Unbelievable, wasn ' t it? It seemed very strange every time we stopped to figure that in less than ten months we would graduate ( ? ) from F. H. S.! Getting right down to business we gave (Continued on page 21) 10 THE PHILOMATH D ' While sitting in front of my wood fire beside the railroad tracks owned by Stuart Hoppin, and built by Richard Hare, eating the last of my de luxe dinner, which con- sisted of beans, beans, beans, and one meatball, I heard a rustle in the bushes be- hind me. Thinking some railroad Dick (policeman) was on my trail, I leaped to my feet and was prepared for the worst. Suddenly a hideous shriek rent the air, Killer ! There stood Bob Ablondi, look- ing hungrily at the remaining half of my meatball. We were overjoyed at seeing one another after twenty years of separation since our high school days. After exchang- ing a few censored remarks, we started comparing notes on the adventurous nature of our journeys. Bob having a yen for corn, I began telling him my tale of woe. My hobo career started after a long ab- sence from Framingham when I em- barked on my comfortable lounging place on the rails under the caboose of the fast moving Sunshine Dairy milk train, engi- neered by Mary Geoghegan. Later, when the train stopped, a strange vision greet- ing my eyes turned out to be police cap- tain Kenneth Botty, giving orders to offi- cer Frank Donnelly to tag Paul Flaherty, who is still speeding on the road to North Natick. (Keep trying, Antam- bol. ) Watching the proceedings was Francis Grady, newly appointed manager of the St. George Theatre, now the O ld St. George Theatre. With him were his ushers Hermit Allyn, John Benefito, and head usher Peter Bent. The picture now playing at the Old St. George was entitled Try and Ditch Me, starring Ernest Ckiappini, Thomas Buck Connolly, and guess who — that ' s right, Thomas Major. Wanting to see my old classmates per- form, I reached into my pocket. Only forty-nine cents there! I borrowed, loosely speaking, a penny from Bruce Magoon, who, at the theatre entrance, was selling apples which he had purloined from Louie Verdy ' s market. He informed me that David Diz Edwards was now coach of the Toronto Tootsy hockey team from Canada. After enjoying the movies, I dined in Blackie ' s Restaurant, owned, operated, and managed by William Quinn. In his em- ploy as waitresses were Mary Gormley, Ruthe Powers, and Irene Speigel. The en- tertainment featured a dance number by Roscoe Charley Chaplin, and Frances Conza. The bar was being tended by An- thony, I drink more than I serve, Repucci, and Edward, I ' ll drink any man sober, Stucchi. . Just then the swinging doors swung open and Ernest Finkelstein and Kenneth Speigel, Quinn ' s trigger men, walked in. I topped off my meal with a pineapple sundae, made of coffee ice cream, marshmallow, and nuts, whipped up by Donald MacEachern, in the drug store of the same name. At the break of day the next morning I sneaked aboard the China Clipper, which was warming its engines on Beaver Brook. When we took off, I was surprised to see, from my hideout, the plane being piloted by Ira Ward, with Richard Strum- sky his co-pilot. This was my first trip by airplane and I became exasperated (en- raged, irritated, embittered — for those who don ' t know how to use a dictionary) when I saw air-stewardesses, Betty Ann Haughey and Lillian Moron, serving coffee to the passengers, with none for me. How- ever, they soon slipped me a cup and dur- ing a short chat with them I learned that Madeline Ross and Richard Pinna had been maid of honor and best man, respec- THE PHILOMATH 4 11 tively, at the wedding of John Del Prete and Vera Buchner. Del and wife now live in Saxonville in a log cabin built by Nello Conti, out of the logs left by the Indians. ( Joke, joke! ) The stork had visited them not once, not twice, not three times, but BINGO ! four times. Del always did believe in mass production. Five hours later we landed in San Fran- cisco Bay, where I saw Roger Mullen, Thomas Murphy, Gene Oliva, Ray Le- veille, and Richard, Look at My Mus- cles Cassidy, trying to lift a gas hose to refuel the plane. Upon inquiry I learned that the motors to the plane were designed, manufactured, and assembled by James J. Ducey, Jr., and Company. Walking through Piccadilly Park I sighted a familiar stride coming toward me. Sure enough, it was Herb West, who is making the Navy his lifelong profession. I gathered from the apprentice seaman, junior grade stripes on his sleeve that ad- vancements are slow. He explained that he was married to Janey Waters, but un- like the Del Pretes, there were no little Wests. I spent the rest of the day and that night at his home, where I found Lucille Tuttle, his maid, working very hard. From them I learned that Vivian Zeller was now a model for Bob Watton, who owns the largest ladies ' undies company in the world. (Nice going, Bob! ) The next day in San Francisco I visited, through a knothole, a baseball game, in which I saw Big Ed Higgins, bat boy for the San Diego Sadies, fighting with Tony Bianchino, bat boy for the Detroit Daisies, over who could hit the farthest ball. Big Ed won with an infield fly over the backstop. Just then I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and as I turned around, I saw a figure in a blue uniform. There stood Richard Anderson, now a policeman of the San Francisco police force. The beds in the prison cells in California are really comfortable. Occupying the next cell were Cliff Whitehousc and John Houdini True, whose motto is A hairpin will open anything. So he found out when he picked the safe of Jacques Fauteaux, only to find Jacques inside with his cool $99.99. Therefore, he gave him a penny that had just been manufactured in Tony Cardi ' s wine cellar. Before too long I was released. Passing through Nebraska on my way East, I saw George Griffith, now a plumb- er, repairing a water main on Leaky Lane. He informed me that Charles Bryant owned a haberdashery store and that his secretary was Rachael Labazio. The last thing I saw on my journey was Dot, Watch Your Whistle or I Won ' t Wig- gle, Cantall, dancing to the Hindu music of Richard Scanlon, which was being played on a flute made by Mario DiCicco. What did you see of interest on your journey, Bob? Yes, Killer, I also have seen many of our classmates of ' 45. Just a month ago I was traveling on a fast-moving, fifty-car freight train when we suddenly came to a stop. Looking up from my lower, I found myself at the Framingham crossing. There was Fire Chief Steve Durkce arguing with engineer Perry Cacciola about which w ould move first, the fire engine or the freight train. While this was going on, I noticed that the cause of it all was Amelia Falconi ' s five and dime store, which was on fire. The matter was settled when Police Chief Malcolm Flood decided to split the train in half. Since my train was to be delayed a few hours, I decided to give the old home town the once over. The first news that came to my attention was that James Burke had just been elected Mayor of Saxonville for the fourth term. He had defeated Louis Axtman by five votes. His first act as mayor was to move the High School to Sax or else to move Sax to the High School. Down the road a way there seemed to be another fire, but as I came closer I saw Raymond Bratica trying in vain to get his 12 THE PHILOMATH old Ford going. It seems that Donald Beaton and John Banda had made a sub- stitute for gasoline out of Evening in Paris perfume and some home-made wine from Albert Simonetta ' s wine cellar. I also learned that the password into this sanc- tuary is three knocks and the chorus of Show Me the Way to Go Home. I soon left this crowd, for my yearning to wander kept me in no one place too long. As I walked back to my train, I heard the clang-clang of the trolley. I glanced up and there were driver Barbara Mc- Grath and conductor Therese Healy, look- ing on while Muriel Norton sang the Trolley Song. Shirley McKenzie was selling cotton to Eleanor MacDonald and Dora Moccia, two unfortunates who hadn ' t ear muffs. I decided it would be safer to walk. I kept on with my travels until I heard a hoarse cry, Draw two. It was James Murphy, owner of the You ' ve Gotta Have Two Bits to Enter Cafe, drinking his profits for the day. Since you had to be rolling in money to enter this tavern, I decided I wasn ' t very thirsty. Coming into the center of this flourishing city, I dropped into the park to rest my aching back and read the Daily Blow, edited by Alden Seltzer and Herbert Raphael, but the park bench was occupied by Walter Haynes and Phyllis Jost, who didn ' t even see me. Consequently, I hastened back to the crossing and to my open air compart- ment at the bottom of the hog car. I noticed that the railroad crew was busy righting a freight car that had been de- railed. It seems that Tom Donnelly, crew boss, had just finished laying some new track after having read a book called The Air Trains of the Future. Tom was try- ing to bring the future here by running the track up a banking. There was no harm done, for Tom ' s crew, which consisted of Malcolm Fcldman, Robert Flayderman, Joseph Palladino and Lorraine Zeller, soon cleared the wreck. I heard later that Lor- raine did most of the work. Along the Framingham-Ashland track was a bill- board which advertised the Patsy Diana racetrack, featuring Pat ' s world-famous horses. The billboard was one of Ralph Wardrop ' s, who is the famous artist, with billboards scattered all over the country. From my coach I could also see the road leading to Ashland. There was Marjoric Parker, bumming her way to the big city. Up on the hill on my left was a large sign. I quote, ' You are now leaving the United States and entering Tripoli, ' Silvio Mer- corelli, Puppet Governor. Passports must be shown to the General of the Province, Scrgi Grandoni. I learned later the rea- son it was so hard to gain entrance. Yep, Irene Vitali and Eleanor Nei were the Royal Treasure. Looking to the right, I saw a large gunboat of the Tripoli navy manned by Arthur Walker, who had re- cently been discharged from the service with a rating of seaman second class. He had reached the pension age after twenty years of faithful service. Bud holds the order of the Purple Heart for wounds re- ceived while shaving in action and the Bronze Medal for being able to polish the whole starboard side of the destroyer be- fore lunch. The boat was shelling a canoe filled with Camp Fire Girls. I noticed Clara Woodin, Beverly Stowell and Bar- bara Long among the girls taking an unex- pected swim. Continuing on my way, I reached the city of Holliston. There I left my better half (the boys) in rather a hurry when railroad dicks Beverly Granville and Arlenc Pollard came along with their large billy sticks. The whole town had gone haywire after the World War and had elected all women officials. Albina Panc- rella and Dorothy Pestana were the local dog-catchers, chasing after Beatrice O ' Lcary ' s pet wolf dog that had been frightening all the Holliston men. Most of the men had left the town, anyway, after the ladies moved into office. William THE PHILOMATH -4 13 Pinchook and Ernest Tullio, a couple of traveling salesmen passing through, were practically mobbed when Jenny La Pcnta, Luanne King and Julia Martin spied them. The O.P.A. chairman, Elsie Bianchctti, has put a limit on all available men. Each single girl is given two meat points a week. But Muffey Gucrra and Eleanor Fantoni seem to have found a black mar- ket, controlled by Richard Giaccomuzzi and Robert Carlson. What a business! Of course, there were many girls, like Anna Abclli and Carmen Chao, who roped off their men before the rationing had taken place. They are considered hoarders by all the other girls. I decided I musn ' t stay any longer and Ann Stafjeld and Florence Woodman, two S.S. women, helped me make my decision. I bummed a ride in an old 1945 Cadillac, driven by William Hobin, a factory owner who specialized in using lima beans com- mercially. He first started to make rubber out of them, but his scientists, Wanda Tredicucci and Nancy Tomasi, had found a receipt for making toll-house cookies. He offered me a few and dropped me off. I threw them away and broke Irene War- ren ' s (Please No Squeeza Da Banana) fruit store window. I was given ten days by Judge Alice Machado. I was thrown into a cell with two lady hoboes, Jean Clin- ton and Ellen Walsh, who had landed in jail when they chased a cop and found later he was a she. Why look, Killer, speaking of the ' Bums, isn ' t that they jumping off that freight train? Well, my travels took me all over Amer- ica. Here ' s the tale of my wanderings. After graduating from dear old F. H. S., I enlisted in the Marines, received my training at the University of N. U. T. (Numerous Useful Techniques), was sta- tioned at Leatherneck as secretary to Col. Quentin Sewcll and was courtmartialed for being A.W.O.L. As a result I was placed in Running Water, a prison for erring Marines. Here I met Helen Slug- ger, Devine, and Barbara, I Love My Al, but, oh, You Kid, Luby. They told me that they had heard Betty Mahoney speak on How to Acquire a Slim Figure. Her principal exercise for losing weight was turning the head from left to right slowly when a second helping was offered. Joyce Campion was walking back and forth on the stage, demonstrating the result of this process. Dr. John, Arf , Henderson told Nancy Clements she had acute pleurisy — ■ she gave him a disgusted look and told him flattery would get him nowhere. They also told me that Priscilla Turner was Presi- dent at U Demon U, where Mary Mc- Grath taught typing and shorthand; Rus- sell Cort was gas man in Utopia. He went to Greeley ' s home, and when Terry Cowles Greeley came to the door he said he under- stood there was something in her house that wouldn ' t work. Terry said, Yes, Dick is upstairs. It seems that Dick left the Navy because he was subject to le mal de mer (seasickness). When my sentence at the Ma rine prison was finished, I hopped a freight to New York, resolving never more to work. To my surprise I saw Virginia Lowe and Barbara Leslie farther back in the same freight I had chosen. They were on their way to star in John DeGregory ' s and Si J, Gee, the Third one in on the Left Is Aw- ful Cute, Lebewohl ' s show, Bloomer Girls. Billy Feehcly and Jeanne Cross were being widely publicized for their very- odd duet; Billy is to play the banjo, while Jeanne executes an unusual ballet step. They said that John My Ideal Is Benny Brita was to play Love in Bloom exactly as did his idol. Having reached New York, we disem- barked from our luxurious freight car compartments, bade each other a fond adieu and went our separate ways. As I meandered down Fifth Avenue, I saw a huge red and green sign bearing the words, (Continued on page 15) THE PHILOMATH -« 15 1. Vera Buchner 18. Sidney Lebewohl 34. Luanne King 2.

Upon entering, I found myself gazing at a huge volume about five inches thick. Blazoned on the Moroccan leather binding in gold letters — The Auto- biography of John Garvey, The Master Mind. When I replaced the book, Dotty was coming toward me in a very cute Jane Colman frock, designed by none other than Jane herself. She asked me to tea, and having nothing but a hole in my pocket, I accepted willingly. She men- tioned that she had recently received a let- ter from Nancy Ford, who was a teacher at our good old Alma Mater. However, she seemed to be trying very hard to outdo Einstein; she was slaving on a process of making six and six equal sixty-six. In her letter Nancy mentioned that Warren Buz- zell and Jean Hargraves, happily married, were now working at school as custodians. Mary Bertuzzi and Buddy married and were very delighted with Buddy, Jr. Irene Pignoni was playing shortstop for the Gargoyles, who had won every game that season. Nancy had overheard Gilda Bernardi Calabrese telling her daughter, (Continued from page 13) who was starting out on her first date, to be a good girl and have a good time. The daughter quickly replied — Make up your mind, Mother. Tea was now over. I thanked Dorothy and was again on my way. Yes, on my way to Chicago and all points west. The first object to catch my eye as I sauntered along thoughtlessly, was a huge saxophone, dangling in a doorway. On the sign beside it was Sax Appeal Taught Here. Co-Owners, Patsy Paradis and Phyllis Kadra. Just then I heard two familiar voices, one explaining to the other the difference between a sewing machine and a kiss. One sews seams nice, and the other seems so nice. I looked over my shoulder to discover George DiCristojoro and Arthur Needham, appa rently only re- cently interested in things domestic. One wore a sign, Eat at Falconi ' s Famous Irish Fish Farm, owned and managed by Dolly Falconi. Chicago certainly was a windy city — a paper, The Chronicle, edit- ed by Jeanne Allen and Veronica Brooks, blew to my feet. There in great headlines was blazoned the latest airplane calamity. Betty Clapp, aviatrix, was giving flying lessons to Joan Keir and C. Jones, but 16 fr- THE PHILOMATH Jeannette Whittemore hadn ' t put enough gas in the tank, and the trio had crashed in Irene Donnelly ' s cow pasture, injuring three of her best Jersey cows, and scaring the entire herd. The girls were rushed to Jane Cogan ' s hospital in Jackie Brown ' s ambulance. Listed on the last page of The Chronicle were the names of the attending nurses — Cilia Spaulding, Barbara Lowe, Pauline Keeje, and Lillian Adams. I have heard since that several weeks later Liz Harney delivered a note to the poor un- fortunates from Irene Donnelly. She said the plane crash had so affected ten of her best cows that they had given no milk for two weeks. Enclosed was a bill for $25.00, made out by Marilyn Beers. In another section of the paper under Screen Gossip I saw that Larry Maroni, great pianist, had again been called upon to stand in for the greatest lover of all times, Jim, I Let Them Love Me and Then I Leave Them, Lewis. It seems that every so often Jim gets a yen for basketball and Larry is called in. Tony Basile produced Donald Chasse ' s and Pat Wales ' last film, Yours Till an Elephant Nose, in which Joan Davis the second, otherwise known as Joan Ryan, was a comedienne. Ginny Egan and Mary Capstick are the noted writers of this gossip column. Just as I was tossing the paper into the gutter, someone tapped me on the shoulder and bellowed, Lady, watch where you ' re throwing that there paper — I have to sweep it up. When I turned I saw George, Help Keep Our City Clean, Y eager him- self, with a broom extending two feet over his head — slight exaggeration. He told me that Bob Jordan was Governor of the city and had made him Colonel of the Street Cleaners ' brigade. Well, I guess that ' s the extent of my travels. Ellen, whom did you see? Okay, gang. Here ' s my story. I know you all want to hear about our friends from Framingham High School, class of ' 45, so here goes. It seems that I got the travel bug along with the rest of you, and during my wanderings met and talked with a lot of our crowd. I saw Jean Gillis in New York, holding a job and her boss, too. She ' s a private secretary to that ball of fire, Dave Ahearn. Her main job is putting on the envelopes the stamps that Dave licks. Good salary, though. Marian Evans is a gossip column- ist on the New Jersey Bounce, with Hazel Goddard as assistant. The dirt that those two can scare up! And I do mean scare. Dorothy Barker is singing at Carnegie Hall right now, with Fuzz Knight as her manager. Nice work, boy! Martha Boyle, happily married, is living in Ashland, Mas- sachusetts. This was no news to most of us. I suppose you know her new name is Rice. Bob., Jr., is cute, too. I saw all these kids while hopping freights up and down the New England coast, stopping now and then for a bowl of tomato soup. Remember C lunch? At this stage of traveling I got a little sick of terra firma and stowed away on a banana boat, heading for South America. I can ' t look a banana in the eye since that trip. Bananas for breakfast, dinner and supper, and mostly green at that. But before the trip was over I had to come out for air. Do you doubt it? Of course you remember how, after the Great War, women took over many jobs that before had been han- dled by men. Imagine my surprise at find- ing Shirley Anderson as captain, with Phyllis Bater as first mate and Gilda Beatrice head of the black gang. And how that gal could shovel coal! They made me feel right at home and I really enjoyed the rest of the trip. We docked at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, and I was stopped by customs inspector Margaret Dakai. She checked through my pockets quite thoroughly, and after find- ing only two safety pins, four fish hooks, a piece of string and a banana she let me into the country. THE PHILOMATH -4 17 I found Dorothy Bourcttc on the court- house steps, waiting to get the story on a murder. A better reporter couldn ' t be found, and the city editor couldn ' t usually find Dot. It seems that Helen Mains, a coffee plantation owner, had killed a coffee bean and was trying to put in a self-de- fense plea. Rugged country, this Brazil! Just as I was going into the courtroom, Olive Dyer came rushing out the door with a camera clutched in her grimy little paw, screaming, She ' ll get it! She ' ll get it! Get what? I shouted. The chair, of course. The poor bean didn ' t have a chance! With this answer, Oily and camera dashed on. Upon entering the courtroom I found Marjorie Bennett fighting valiantly to save her client from the extra warm seat behind that little green door. Eunice Capen was leering at Helen like a cat that ' s about to have a nice mouse for lunch. Angela Colan- tonio was sitting with Jennie Dallamora on the bench reserved for the sob sisters. and both were crying into their inkwells. Not wanting to watch judge Peter Ferro pronounce sentence on the defendant, and not wanting to see the self-satisfied smirks on prosecuting attorney Capen ' s face, I left the courthouse. I hailed a taxi-copter — remember when they were on the ground and called taxi- cabs? Clambering in, I found Mary Christo driving it and trying to figure out how to let the flaps down. She set me down near the docks and told me that the trip was on her. Of course, I had no money anyway, but I was relying on my marvel- ous brain and good looks (ahem!). I hopped aboard another boat, making sure that it wasn ' t carrying bananas. I would have starved if mess girl Phyllis Huntoon hadn ' t sneaked me jelly sandwiches. We docked in San Francisco, going through the Panama Canal, of course. I jumped overboard so the captain wouldn ' t see me, and bumped into Dorothy Monahon, who was diving for hot pennies that the passengers of the boats were throwing to her. When I reached the shore, I found Ralph Sawyer and Jane San ford running a cold drink stand. They had been partners about six years, and still Jane made the dough and Ralph drank it up. Good coke, you bet ' cha! They in- formed me that Marjorie Quinn was sing- ing at the Watch Your Coat, While We Take Your Girl Club. She was known all over Frisco as Muddy Margie because of her deep, beautiful voice. Her specialty was I Left My Brains in F.H.S. Veronica Olszewski was a cigarette girl. Gee, you can get the things now! Every so often Lorraine Putnam, one of the chorus girls, decides to marry again, and Ronnie has to fill in. June Shepard, Adele Misalsky, Lola Tinney, Marguerite Bengiovanni and Joan Costa are all in the chorus. With what they have, they can be. I left San Francisco and headed East. I met Katherinc de Folco in Kansas. She owns a 20,000-acre wheat field and is really taking it easy now. I saw Mary Burbank in Chicago, running a television machine and holding it on tall, dark and good-looking Andrew Errico. All he does is smile all day at Mary. They told me that Norma Benjamin was down the street in the Rialto Theatre, starring in the play. Arsenic and Oh, That Face. Leave it to Xorma. I left Chicago with everybody ' s bless- ings ringing in my ears and two quarters ringing in my pockets. Friends are swell, aren ' t they? My destination was Wash- ington, D. C, where I hoped to see Presi- dent Boyle. Yes, Eddie did it, as you all know. Why, I had even stayed in Cactus- needle, Texas, long enough to cast my vote for him. He carried practically every state; he always was strong (cough, cough! ). His secretary is Jeanne Casey. Private, of course. The First Lady saw Jeanne the other day, and I don ' t think she likes this private business. I really don ' t blame her. Cute kid, our Casey. I saw 18 THE PHILOMATH Lillian Farren at the Earl Theatre there. Lil always was a good dancer. With Oswald Iarussi as her dancing partner she was climbing to the top fast. Ozzie held out on us back in F.H.S. about how he could dance. But Lil brought it out okay. Later, for dinner, they took me to a restau- rant, one of many that were owned by Edward Lewis. I always knew Eddie liked to eat, but I thought that was going too far. After all, restaurants cost money. Ed sat down and ate with us. I had forgotten how he could park that food away, but grad- ually memories came back when I saw him ripping his fourth chicken apart. He al- ways did like white meat. Barbara Leach, our waitress, was chased out of the kitch- en by chef John Liberatore, waving a hatchet. Johnny still gets excited easily. He stopped long enough to tell me that Irene Tupper was now married. Admiral Cunningham is very happy with his com- mission, too. After Johnny had gone, Paul Ford, a singing waiter in Ed ' s restaurant, passed our table. I left Washington and headed for Bos- ton, where I intended to see singer Ger- trude Clements, who had taken time off from her Hollywood contract to fill in for Anna DeFilippo, who ran The Old Hub- bard Theatre. Angie Gentili reigned supreme at the ticket window and Claire Kelly grabbed them at the door. Usher Edna Gerard showed me to my seat just as the curtain went up. Gordon Croft and Jean Langley were the main charac- ters in the musicals written by successful playwright Madeline Hill. After the show, which I enjoyed immensely, I was joined by Anna Joyce and Mary McCarron. They insisted upon bidding me farewell, and asked the number of my drawing room on the train. I told them rail four, third from left, and they snickered right back at me with, Well, well. Coming up in the world, hey, Ellen? Nice kids. We met subpoena server Dorothy Mahoney, who said that she was looking for Rose Salti. I didn ' t inquire why. You can draw your own conclusion. Dot offered me a job; as a result I had a bad cough- ing spell and muttered something about an incurable disease, so she went on about her serving. Anna and Mary left me in the South Station, where I proceeded to read the headlines of the papers until Carmcla Mangini whispered huskily in my ear, Want to buy a pair of ' hot ' nylons? After much discussion, she realized I didn ' t want them. When I left her she was whispering in someone else ' s ear. Good luck, Millie. I saw Irene Verrill and hailed her. She was just boarding a west- bound train and she finally convinced me that I should ride in her compartment with her. When we were settled and speed- ing on our way, Irene informed me that she was president of a ladies ' lingerie fac- tory and doing quite well. Trying to hide a hole in my stocking, I said, That ' s nice, and smiled weakly. Mary McGrail and Mary Missaggia were junior partners in this firm, and Barbara Pew was over in France at the moment, trying to buy some lace. For trimmings, I believe. Irene told me that they needed another buyer and said she thought I ' d fill the bill. The train started to slow down at this crucial mo- ment. After explaining to Irene that I wanted a glass of water, I dashed out. So here I am, kids. Of course I saw all these people recently, but I believe they ' ve gone still higher in their chosen profes- sions. They ' re all a swell bunch and I ' m proud to have known them. I think even the teachers back in Framingham High School are, too. And you know? I think I will look up Irene when I go West again. I might even like having a job.

THE PHILOMATH -4 19 GlaU Will We, the class of 1945, being sound in both mind and body, attest to the fact that this document is our official last Will and Testament, and it is with complete realiza- tion and comprehension of the acts com- mitted that we bequeath our bountiful pos- sessions in the following manner. Or, in other words, This is where we pay back the F. H. S. faculty for three years of sweetness and light. To wit: 1. To our dear friend, Miss Williams, we leave, besides our love, a Handy-Andy Red Cross Kit, so that she may further investigate the claims of I ' m sick as a dog — I want to go home. 2. We give, devise and bequeath to the capable lunch room staff two things, name- ly: 1. A book, How to Butter Bread in Six Easy Lessons, and if this fails — 2. A time bomb. 3. To the eminent raconteur, Mr. Cur- tis (crossing the bar) Dooling, we leave a bigger shovel, for it is noticed that his stories and jokes ripen with age. 4. To Mr. Alton (if you passed my course you can call me Joe ) Bush, we leave two phonograph records. The names of said records are Give Me Stout Hearted Men and I ' ll Never Smile Again. 5. To our jovial friend and principal, Mr. Mayo (My Hair Is Growing Thinner All the Time) Magoon, we leave a bottle of cue ball polish, a towel and the gentle re- minder, It won ' t be long now, Mayo. 6. A little red scooter is to become the possession of Miss Mary Hobbs. This should, in other words, enable her to get around faster and accomplish much more. 7. To help combat the food shortage, the members of the Senior Play Cast leave behind all the eggs and corn which were so abundant on opening night. 8. This year ' s football team leaves be- hind its victory over Milford to help prove the theory that nothing is impossible. 9. We, the baseball squad, leave to our coach, Mr. Daniels, a message. It goes: Cheer up, Jack. Next year ' s bunch can ' t be any worse. Unquote. The following bequests are of an entire- ly personal nature: 1. I, Bruce (now don ' t tell me that red light is on again) Magoon, leave my jar of sunburn lotion to next year ' s goalie, with a fervent prayer that he will not be ex- posed to the burning red light as much as I was. 2. We, Killer Kane and Paul Flaherty, leave our cheer leaders ' jackets to next year ' s cheer leaders for the miserly sum of $10 (each), payable any time, any day, in the Hemenway Bowling Establishment, more familiarly called The Hole. 3. I, Vivian (while the cat ' s away the mice will play) Zeller, leave my undeni- able OOOOoomph to any junior girl who can claim 111.1 cases of masculine eye- strain after she merely has walked by. (Pahdawn — did I say walked?) 4. I, Austy (Blind Man) Jordan, leave my cane, seeing-eye dog and cup to any poor unfortunate who is as handicapped as I was. 5. I, Lillian (aw, kids, don ' t you think I should be president?) Moran, leave my charming smile, energetic personality and dynamic driving force to any junior girl who wants to be the girl ahead of the man at the head of the senior class. 6. I, Russell (don ' t let my personality fool you — I ' m really a wolf) Cort, leave my bones collection to the F.H.S. lunch tomb. All proceeds from their sale to be 20 - THE PHILOMATH GROWING PAINS First row: Therese Healey. Jane Waters, Kenneth Botty, Thomas Murphy, Terry Cowles, Luanne King, Bruce Magoon, Vivian Zeller, Jane Cogan, Betty Clapp. Second row: Norma Benjamin, Robert Wharton, Malcolm Flood, Nancy Ford, Dick Greeley, Richard Cassidy, Mrs. Moody, Betty Mahoney, Lawrence Maroni, Ruthe Powers, Ann Staffeld, Joan Keir, Robert Jordan. sent to Mr. Russell Cort, Backwoods Man- ner, Framingham Centre. 7. I, Jay Quinn (otherwise known as the Cisco Kid ), leave my ten-ounce pool cue and my shining reputation as the King of the Hole to young Skippy Bal- lou. 8. I, Thomas Major, leave behind my ghost, which wi ll, following my set pat- tern, haunt the high school for untold years to come. 9. We, Vera Buchner and John (Ferdie ) Del Prete, leave behind our three years ' romance to prove that love con- quers all. 10. We, John (watch me blow this horn) Henderson, John (ditto) Garvey and Larry (Girl of My Dreams) Maroni, the senior members of Henderson ' s Jump Quartet, leave behind the strains of our beautiful melodies. Phew. 11. And with that it ' s time to say That ' s all f-f-f-folks. The above was recorded on the ninth day of the fifth month in the year of nineteen hundred and forty-five by the duly registered class lawyer, Kenneth J. Botty. Duly witnessed by : Nancy (99-44 1007 correct) Ford, Paul (Burp) Ford, Don (Aw, Lil ) MacEachern, Thomas (Buck) Connolly. THE PHILOMATH -4 21 GlaAA, Awandi Class Benefactor Best Athlete .

( We still remember what a sophomore is, don ' t we? ) Next on the bill came our election of senior class officers. We re-elected Robert Ablondi and Martha Boyle as President and Secretary; and chose Jean Clinton, Vice-President, and Thomas Donnelly, Treasurer. Just to show that our class had initiative, we went ahead and produced a Senior Play that really became a success. In Growing Pains the leading roles were taken by Luanne King and Bruce Magoon. Yes, all these events and those con- nected with graduation — the taking of the class picture, the Senior Prom, Class Night, the Music Festival, and Gradua- tion itself — will always be remembered in the hearts of the Class of 1945. As we leave Framingham High School with our diplomas, then and only then, shall we realize what it means — the true loss of our social gatherings, of our teach- ers, of all the good times that our class has had. Then, and only then, shall we see the significance of going out and fighting in this war-torn world of bloodshed and de- struction, so that more people and more classes will be able to have and enjoy such splendid high school careers as our class, the Class of 1945 has enjoyed.
