Johnson, whose devotion and service to the welfare of Gloucester youny people is cjratefulhj remembered by all of us. We Fondly Remember JOHN JOSEPH BENTLEY Former Supervisor of Attendance September 13, 1938 — September 10, 19,12 EMORY TUFTS NELSON, JR. July 28, 1933 — September 9, 19.52 Classmate ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1953: M ith your graduation from high school this year you have completed one more of the stages which make up your lives. “Graduation is quite often called “com- mencement, ' ' in recognition of the fact that the student is now formally ready to enter upon, or commence, activity in the particu- lar field for which he has prepared. It is generally the time when he leaves behind the organized guidance of the school, and enters, alone, the world of actual rather than vicari- ous experience. We hope that you are well prepared for the adventures that lie ahead of you. We have tried to help you get ready; now you are about to prove the pudding. May good luck, happiness and success attend you in all your efforts. Arthur N. Smith, Principal f Congratulations and best wishes to the members of the Class of 1953. You have completed an important milestone in your life. As you pass through these portals into another phase of your life, give a thought to those who have gone on before you. Part of your success you owe to them. Make certain that you leave something for those who are to follow. Sincerely, J. Stanley Thompson Vice-Principal FACULTY Aarne A. Krigard Mildred I ' .

The citizens of Gloucester rush down to the fish pier to see the beautiful Brig � S’S. 1983 arriving with a flock of distin- guished passengers. The .SN 1983 ' s arrival signals the opening of the thirtieth reunion of the class of 1953. Filtering through the crowd searching for ma- terial for the next edition of the Times, is editor George Koski. Following lum are his two secre- taries. Kathy Flickey and Edith Evans, who are busily taking notes at Koski’s instruction. On a raised platform in the center of the dock. Scott Saunders is interviewing some of the famous visitors of the day. Aiding Mr. Saunders are Roberta Davis, whose advice to the lovelorn column is nationally acclaimed, and Elaine Fer- ris. whose column on rearing children has been a godsend to millions of parents. Miss Davis in- troduces to the crowd Annie Gosbee and I.ois Tysver. the first women professional baseball players. After some magnanimous cheers. Robert Dennis, maestro of the Fish City Symphony Orchestra, meets the crowd. Suddenly the city ambulance, driven by Peter Kenyon, streaks onto the dock. This latest model is a Stephen Demetri creation. 1 ' wo lovely nurses. Frances Haskins and Sandra Frigard. jump out and run up to the spot where John Castle, man- ager of the Detroit Tigers, and Bud Twoiney, Red Son pilot are in a heated discussion about next year ' s pennant contenders. As the crowd gathers around the two managers. Charles Dou- cette. city doctor, arrives with his able assistant. June Forsbcrg. Two of the city ' s finest policemen. Roland Dutcher and Ronald Esty, are trying to break up the crowd. Scott Saunders was interviewing choreo- grapher Shirley Digon and her group of Latin Quarter lovelies, including Jean Doyle. Shirley Dutcher and Muriel Francis, but the commotion on the dock calls him from this pleasant diversion. Soon all quiets down as .V. F. Times reporter Isabel Matson, and Mademoiselle fashion editor Marlene Fleet report the styles seen here today. Nancy Fioravanti, designer for women under five feet tall, discusses some of her latest fashions with the ladies. She is followed by Rosalie and Katherine Frontiero. co-owners of the Frontiero Fashion Shop located here in downtown Glouces- ter. Beverly Graham. Essex fashion reporter, and Sylvia Haskell and Anne Hildonen. reporter ' from this city, speak on fashions, commenting on some of the best-dressed women of Gloucester including Ellen Hanson. Patricia Goodick. Ger- aldine Hudson, and Janice MacKenzie. With a great flourish. Mayor David Burns arrives in his new Cadillac, driven by chauffeur illiam Hinckley. In the special car with Mayor Burns are his secretary. Patricia Hurst, aldermen David Fleet and Ronald Harnish. school super- intendent Robert Harting. and William Fisher, head of the welcoming committee. Amid the cheers the Mayor introduces the hostesses. Jo- anne Gallant. Jennie Galante, and Margaret Gayton. Then there is a hush as the SS 1983 glides up to the dock and the captain. Y illiam E. M orris III, doffs his cap to the alunmi. The festivities are under way. II Aboard the S ' N 1983 itself, excitement has been riding high all day. For the past few weeks the crew has been planning a gala celebration. First Mate Thomas Canto has supervised ship ' s car- penter Leroy Silva and plumber Marvin Silva in the building of a gigantic fountain over the swim- ming pool. With the approval of the captain and Ins guest. General James A. Powers. I . S. Army, the crew present a pageant for the entire gather- ing. The dock has been cleared and the SS 1983 is now covered from stern to bowsprit with land- lubber ' who crane their necks for a peek at the doings in the ship ' s pool. Dressed as mermaids and sea-nymphs. William Polloni. Myles Reardon. Ronald Silva, and William Bellanger as Neptune, slosh and flounder in true minnow fashion. Barbara Reed, one of the nation ' s progressive teachers, is busy adding more notes to those she has already compiled on the voyage as incie Susanno. Gloucester ' s famous movie star, points out some of the celebrities among the spectators. Many members of the class have come into Gloucester with Captain Morris. After th? pageant most of them return to the lounge where they had been reminiscing during the trip. Mau- reen Cunningham and Athena Apostolopoulos. I S. ambassador ' to Spain and France respec- tively. recite nursery rhymes in Spanish and French, while Joyce Perrin discusses hothouse plants with Richard Smallidge. Incidentally. Mr. Smallidge has just paid the largest income tax in history. Into this intellectual atmosphere stroll three cigar-smokers who startle the whole com- pany by sitting down without saying a word. They are Richard Rose, president of Bonehead I ' niversity. Texas, where the only requirements for entrance are a convertible, at least two plaid vests, and a raccoon coat : Joe Nicastro. owner of the world ' s largest “elevated shoe” factory: Stan Poirier, the auto mechanic who put Ford out of business by manufacturing cars which can be run by a two-year-old. or a woman. Stan got the inspiration for these motorless cars while riding the Dodge-ems at a local carnival. Mystified by the silence of the trio. Jean l’alazola asks illiam Ruhino. famed Scotland Yard detective, to ex- plain. “Elementary, my dear lady,” he replies. They are merely conserving their strength for the autographing ordeal that they anticipate when they step ashore. Meanwhile, ship ' s nurse, Marie Dionne, and woman surgeon, Mariellen Gillie, talk shop with vacationing members of their profession. Eleanor Stephanio has some amusing anecdotes about her work as assistant to a circus doctor, and Carol Reed compares them with some of her own. Another nurse, Donna Souza, who has won world-wide acclaim as a morale booster in veter- ans hospitals, talks with laboratory technician Carole Smith who has perfected a new color which is described as rather “pinky.” Out on the miniature golf course, Dan Harris demonstrates the technique that has won him two world championships. Watching intently are Judith Steele, star of the television program My Friend Daisy, and David Roberts, world- famed philanthropist. In the “Morris Forest, an innovation in pleasure ship luxuries, Rita Parisi, and Marjorie Newman, Chicago socialites, are being enter- tained by Robert Strangman, a former conserva- tion officer, who gave up this work to become head gardener on the SS 1983. They are inter- rupted by Barbara Ryan, cosmetic manufacturer, and Alfred Powers, Parisian dress designer. Madame Ryan is curious about the beautifying effects of various herbs. Mr. Strangman suggests that she contact Joyce Peterson who is now a successful botanist. A sudden burst of hilarity comes from the lounge. Hairdressers Helen Sawyer and Frances Familiari are trying to dye Shirley Williams hair the exact shade of the ocean. Shirley, by the way, is a secretary to the Wall Street financier, Barn- ard Polansky. Meanwhile, Muriel Rowley, hard- working buyer for one of New York ' s larger de- partment stores, and Elaine Smurrage, dress de- signer for “Flik-Pic” Studios, are enthusing about the new perfumes made by Robert Sonia, whose masterpiece, “Haddock Heaven, has won him a prominent place in the world’s perfume market. Richard Silva has been selling binoculars to almost everyone and there is a rail full of pointing people straining toward the familiar sights. Ris- ing high above Dogtown is the home of Sebastian Scola, president of Gloucester ' s Fisheries College. Designed by Francis Osborne and decorated by Robert Morris, this sky-scraping mansion is only the first of a proposed hundred to be built in the area. Patricia Porter, who conducts the Home Hour,” graciously describes the residences of a few of Gloucester’s citizens. Included are the homes of Eunice Parsons, the contact lens manu- facturer; Fire Chief William Richardson; Sylvia Pacheco, the criminal lawyer; Carolyn Pooler, magazine editor. A commotion at the SS I983 ' s stern draws a crowd. Marion Ormezzani, Olympic swimming star, is taking her daily dip, but her coach, Pa- tricia Pallazola, disapproves and is trying to coax Marion out of the water. A call of “soup’s on is all that is necessary. Streams of hungry souls pour from everywhere into the dining room. Ill Dinner is always a pleasant time, but aboard such a ship it is even more so. Renewing old acquaintances over a table laden with such aro- matic delicacies is something which lasts for all too short a time. Making the most of every moment, Senator Arthur Warren Bearse of Massachusetts passes from person to person, spreading his witty self generously among his public. A few words from toastmaster James Greely sets the scene for this happy occasion. The physical changes are barely noticeable as faces light up and conversations become a steady hum. After many vain attempts. Senator Bearse is brought under control bv Michael Mineo, man- ager of the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce, who brings up the matter of a proposed parking area beneath Gloucester Harbor. A discussion of a more violent nature is going on at the far end of the table. Carol Kline and Carroll McCue are near blows in an argument concerning whether or not there is too much salt in the potatoes. Considering that the meal was prepared in the entirely mechanical kitchen invented by en- gineer Leonard Merchant, it seems impossible that any such drastic accident could have hap- pened. Discreetly Nancy Johnson has been collecting water glasses and has begun to ring out a tune faintly resembling the G.H.S. Alma Mater. Gradually the assembly lay down their forks and the tears come crowding to many eyes. Make-up artist Katherine Linquata sees a great prospect in such doings and sends a list of requests along for as many of the old songs as she can recall. Soon a chorus of voices to rival Gloucester ' s gulls fills the ship. In this happy atmosphere, there is one sad note. Geraldine Larson has been sitting with her chin in her hand, wondering what could have happened to her poodle, Eloise. There is the possibility of an elopement. For many weeks now, Eloise has been interested in Barbara Kennedy’s great dane, Victor. With the last notes of the Victory March fad- ing in the background, things return to their conversational din. Secretaries Martha Lane and Anne LaFranee go back into their huddle. The Misses Lane and LaFranee work together in New York City, and, with Dorothy MacKenzie and Helen Manninen, who are at present working in television, found time in their busy lives to attend this reunion. Moved deeply by these touching reminiscences, poet Kenneth Nickerson reaches for his notebook and begins an ode to friendship. Many of Mr. Nickerson ' s poems have been recorded by Tom Kerr, and the Tinkle Music Shop, owned by Vincent Libro, is now featuring a complete col- lection of these poems autographed by the poet himself. Styles have changed through the years, and among the fashion designers who dictate the way m ' lady is gowned is Marie Lucido, who with her assistants, Helen MacArthur and Anne [ 49 ] Lowe, has provided womanhood with some of the most comfortable and practical clothes of all time. Marie is discussing at great length the Grecian toga with historian Ronald Marques, who has been occupied these many years compil- ing a record of the amazing feats of Olympic stars Chet Mulcahy and Andy Nickas, a pair of athletes who have remained together from high school gridiron to the golden field of fame. Among many of the diners, the topic of con- versation is the newly formed kingdom of Carrot- ovia. A community exclusively for redheads, it has become world famous, particularly for its outstanding development of temper control. Again toastmaster Greely rises to begin his introductions of the members of the class who have distinguished themselves in various pro- fessions. At the presentation of the Secretary of the Treasury, Carleton Grace, a hush falls over the gathering in honor of the new monetary system which he and his staff have given to this country. Rather than having many denomina- tions of coins. Mr. Grace has taken all but the cpiarter out of circulation. In accordance with this change, candy manufacturers, among them Leo Linquata. have increased the size of candy bars to two feet by six inches. Commenting on his achievements, Mr. (trace noted the fact that now such candy consumers as Charles Newman can buy an entire day ' s supply at once, without making those regular trips to the Sweete Shoppe. Gerald McMillan has been very busy lately con- structing molds for these massive treats. Mr. Greelv calls for a few words from Miss M argaret Mavo. director of the Mavo School of M elody, and Miss Gerry Jackman, owner of the new and unusual florist shop. The Blossom, which grows flowers to one s exact specifications. And so into the spotlight of honor they come, the members of the class of 19.33 who have realized their ambitions. Police Chief Tom O ' Malev remarks about the traffic congestion brought on by the great occasion. Edward Lane, driving Engine 13 out of Riverdale ' s new fire house this morning, had a rather unfortunate accident with Patricia Merchant ' s herb garden. Mi Merchant fully understood that the excite- ment of the reunion had been to blame, but. nevertheless, she politely requested that Mr. Lane repair the damage to her thyme. Another unexpected occurrence took place in East Glouces- ter this morning. Ralph M diner unintentionally failed to stop his bus for Judith Lane, who was hidden beneath some extremely large bundles. Mr. Miliner. composed man that he is, was slightly amazed to see Joseph Larrow running beside the bus in an attempt to call the error to driver Miliner s attention. Salvatore Lupo also suffered an embarrassing moment today when he noticed a stalled car at the comer of Main and Pleasant Streets. Seeing no one near the car. Mr. Lupo enlisted the aid of passer-by Donald Muniz and together these stout-hearted men pushed the traffic hazard around the corner. It wasn ' t long before a very indignant Patricia Kelly, coming from the bank where she had been with- drawing money for a dress for the evening ' s fes- tivities, stomped across the street. The car hadn ' t been stalled at all. as the men found out. Pat had parked in the street because it was ‘‘so handy. Embarrassment seems to have been the order of the day in Gloucester. Scene-stealer of the evening is Victor. Barbara Kennedy’s great dane. He did elope with Gerry Larson ' s poodle, and he chose this time to announce the fact to Miss Kennedy. In the comparative quiet during Janice Johnson ' s little speech on the benefits of good education towards being a lady. Victor walked in. dripping, from parts unknown, to create chaos out of order. Senator Bearse is the first to gain his composure and begin what could perhaps be called a filibuster. Only after a great effort by Toastmaster Greely can normal pro- cedure be resumed. Now after a brief delay, the introducti ons con- tinue. Delores O ' Connell steps forward. A buyer for a New Vork dress shop, Miss O ' Connell has been travelling throughout the South for the past few months. Remarking on the styles there, she brings out the fact that Joyce LaFlam is raising pink cotton, thereby relieving manu- facturers of the task of dying their materials. Enable to attend this evening. Miss LaFlam sent the huge pink cloth which now covers the table. After a few more interruptions by Senator Bearse, Isabelle McDonald is brought forward by a contingent of her subjects. Queen Isabelle had been requested to speak about her kingdom. Carrot-ovia. Built by architect Nicholas Mineo. Carrot -ovia covers an area of about one mile by a mile and a half, and is just beyond Whale ' s Jaw. Guarded by sentry David McKenncy. the gates are also protected by a mechanical eye which allows only redheads to enter. Planning on en- larging her kingdom in the near future. Queen Isabelle makes inquiries for assistants. Marjorie Newman and Frances LaFata volunteer. Now the alumni settle back for more profes- sional entertainment. IV The ballroom swells as the crowd fills it to the very corners. Full of praise for the dinner and its creators. Dorothy Berrigan and Sally D Antonio, millionairess Jeannette Marchant. who owns the “Good-Good-Goody Gum-drop ” plant, speaks from long exj erience in food tasting. As a matter of fact, the entire evening has l een per- fectly planned. There is a hush of anticipation and then the floor show begins. First on the program is the sensation of the motion picture industry. Tom Hill. Scheduled next is Joan Doucette who is unable to be present because of an extended engagement at the Brown Derby. Jim Call and Vivienne Water- house. who first appeared together a t G. H. S. and are now- partners in the W atercall School of Voice, graciously consent to do an extra number to replace Miss Doucette. Applauding loudly in a front seat is Michael Demetrios, the Broadway actor, who has achieved greatness for his extra- ordinary interpretation of Scrooge in Dickens’ Christmas Carol. Johnnie Fay, alias Mickey Cur- ley, closes the program with a number of the imi- tations which have put his name among those of the immortals of the stage. By popular demand the Carrigan Band, organized by Dave and Don Carrigan, plays for the dancing which follows. As the couples glide onto the huge dance floor. Art Davis gathers secretaries Dorothy Cobden, Priscilla Child, and Grace Ciolini into a corner where he proceeds to instruct them in the funda- mental dance steps they have forgotten in their years of work. The SS 1983 ' s ride over the ripples of the harbor is beginning to have its effect on quite a few of the landlubbers. Artist Ted Tvsver, who never could get used to the sea, rushes over to Polly Witham, R.N. Polly, in charge of the casualties, is already busy feeding pills to Eleanor Carter, David Winchester, and Dick Boutchie, who fortunately found her before disaster struck. As Polly suspects that her business will be in- creasing rapidly, she has sent her famous twin, Jim, the Bruins’ star, for Nurse Connie Shatford. Miss Marion Waterman needs help after this trying day, so Miss Shatford assists her to the lounge where she is able to recover. Mr. Steedman prefers to remain on deck where fresh air is abundant. Whirling around the dance floor is the famous chemist, Judith Neilsen, who discovered the ninety-ninth element, McGratheranium. She stops for a moment to tell George Wise, hot rod salesman, that she would like to purchase a car that will go no faster than 100 m.p.h. Buddy re- minds Judy that he is a hot rod dealer, but he pro- mises to try to find something for her. An argu- ment develops on the floor when Ralph Burns makes the mistake of calling Betty Ann Corrao “Shorty.” Because of Ralph’s advantage in size, Diane Alto, sedate secretary to the president of Michigan State, climbs onto Betty ' s shoulders, making it a more even match. To put an end to this foolishness, Gene April breaks into a drum solo, and immediately Shirley Digou is on the floor with Art Davis ' three students going through a routine known as the “Dogs’ Dance.” After seeing this demonstration, Robbie Whitten, Carol Abrahamson, and Bill Cook decide that a lesson or two from Mr. Davis might help them. Competition develops as Onni Tulla opens classes of his own in another corner. Onni is teaching the “Jameston,” an original creation, to Pete Tettoni. Back on the floor Jim Benham is begging Marilyn Troy and Josie Tamarindo to let him finish this one dance before making him set up his special fifty-inch television set for them down- stairs. As it is getting late, Sandra Cain and Fay Hannibal leave the ballroom in search of two lounge chairs where they can get their beauty sleep. Senator Bearse steps in for just a moment on his way to the Captain ' s quarters. He an- nounces that lie is very proud of Newton Tarr, Jim Aikens, and Albert Cole who have recently returned from a trip to the moon. They made the first successful trip there while testing a space ship designed by Dale Chambers. Their voyage was financed by the synthetic diamond manu- facturer, George Clark. Dickie Adams also tried to make diamonds, but by some fortunate acci- dent, he made synthetic uranium instead. Doro- thy Campbell and Wesley Calder recently col- laborated on the solution of all bookkeeping problems, and among the first to congratulate them is Nancy Blair, who realizes how difficult it is for high school students to make problems balance. Alexander Begg and Bob Briand, newly appointed representatives to the United Nations Assembly, try to explain the importance of rocket ships to Marian April and Jean Boutchie. Marian and Jean insist that they could see more people if they rode in a car, because in a rocket ship, Essex would be just a cloud of dust. Carolyn Swift and Joan Brennan stop in the middle of the dance floor to congratulate the owners of Beck and Beck Department Store. They are the Misses Gail and Gwen who have installed a Nurses ' de- partment to fill the needs of nurses such as Joan and Carolyn, who have been having trouble find- ing supplies. Ralph Bauman, orator and lecturer, is advising Gloria Catalini and Elaine Arsenault on the amount of work that can be extracted from high school boys, when John Buckley, di- rector of the Stage Crew at Gloucester High School, informs Mr. Bauman of just how much work a group of boys is capable of doing. As Alan Beck crosses the ballroom to speak to Roderick Avila, he is recognized by Sandra Auditore, Irene Boudreau, Lucy Viator, and Edith Brown. It is time now for the end of the long-awaited day. Mr. Thomas Callahan, present principal of Gloucester High, calls for the school song to close the evening ' s festivities. The tired members of the class of 19.53 climb aboard the three rafts manned by Pauline Nickerson, Patricia Gabry, and Helen Ojantakanen, and drift sleepily back to shore with dreams of their next happy reunion.

As the curtain rises, we look upon a crowd of students eagerly awaiting the moment when they will take possession of G.II.S. This magnificent conglomeration of talent is none other than the two hundred and forty-two members of the class of 54, who anticipate a great future in high school. And now, as the portals of Gloucester High School are flung open, we see our heroes sub- merged in the swarms of onrushing students, who do not yet realize that a new class has come to dominate the hallowed halls of G.II.S. It is not long before the students of Glou- cester High begin to recognize the abilities of the members of the class of 1954. Keen students and successful organizers, the mem- bers of the class soon become active in many of the extra-curricular activities of the school. New life is added to many clubs. A group of students under the leadership of Lorna Purdy, Robert Thomas, Rruce Whil- ton, and David Whynott succeed in reviving the long-dead Science Club, while Anne Pierce and Louise Pohas are instrumental in re-organizing the Latin Club. With students like Barbara Bliek, Anne Pierce, co-editors; Louis Norton, and David Why- nott to contribute to the Beacon , and Janice Decker, Jane Henderson, and Mar- jorie Corliss to write for the Flash , the class of ' 54 soon becomes recognized in the literary field. In the sophomore year the class of 1954, under the leadership of class officers Law- rence Provost, president; John Kennedy, vice-president; Nancy Hietala, secretary; David Cox, treasurer; holds its successful dance, “Stardusters’ Rendezvous.” Field Day of 195 2 wins recognition for the class when John Kennedy is honored by being named outstanding corporal of the year. Louis Norton is also cited for being the outstanding sophomore in the regiment. Now the curtain rises on act three, and still we find ’54 cadets winning honors. Louis Norton takes third place in the highly competitive individual drill. The platoon sergeants are: John Anderson, Robert Blatch- ford, Frank Destino, Charles Fields, John Kennedy, Louis Norton, Lawrence O’Maley, Donald Quinn, George Shatford, Arnold Westlund, and David Whynott. A large number of the class distinguishes itself in the field of athletics. In baseball, Charlie Fields, Phil Harmon, and Clayt Morrissey are outstanding; in basket ball, Bob Blatehford, Dave Cox, and Andy Muniz; in hockey. Rich Burke, Jack Kenne- dy and Bill Ryan; in track, the Thibodeau twins and Hubert Adams; in football, Hu- bert Adams, Bob Pascucci, next season’s co-captains; Bob Blatehford, Frank Destino, Clayt Morrissey, and Bill Ryan. To cheer G.II.S. on to glory we have such feminine pulchritude as Sally O’Neil, Judy Whynot, co-headcheerleaders; Bunny” Barusso, Mary Dolan, and Anne Lodge. The boys’ rifle team can boast of such sharpshooters as Dale Corliss, William Davis, John Main, George Shatford, and Arnold Westlund. When mentioning rifle teams, we must not forget the crack girls’ rifle team, chiefly re-organized by the gals of 54. Gloucester’s Annie Oakleys include Barbara Blick, June Gibbs, Gail Grandy, Betty Head, Nancy Higgins, I Ielen Johnson, Ruth MacLeod, Ela- ine Malmi, Pat Pistenmaaand Lorna Purdy. Junior year finds Michael Feldman and John Anderson of the carpentry shop work- ing hard and eagerly awaiting their senior year when they can go If) work and build another house. In the printing shop we find Arthur Dorothy, who is vice-president of the Benja- min Franklin Club. William Davis acquires membership in the Stevens’ Book Reviewers, together with Louis Norton, Anne Pierce, and David Whynott. In March of their junior year Hubert Adams, Barbara Blick, Louis Nor- ton, Anne Pierce, Lorna Purdy, Arnold Westlund, and David Whynott are elected to the National Honor Society. And now the school year draws to a close, and as the class officers busily prepare their Flicker committees, the curtain falls on the junior class of 1953. But we wait, silent. For soon the curtain will rise on the most brilliant of the four acts of this sparkling drama. 1954 will be a colorful year and a memorable one for the senior class of 1954!

TO PROVE: These thinking units have special characteristics for which they should be noted and taken into consideration, even by the Flicker. Statement I. Sophomores have a special tendency to win all kinds of scholastic awards. Proof: In the eighth grade Ronald At- wood, Jacqueline Dauphinee, Roger Davis, Joan DeMarco, Gerald Epstein, Marguerite Gamage, Anthony Lovasco, Sally Marshall, Mary Lou Rust and Joyce Wallius received Sawyer medals. Also meriting them in the ninth grade were Nancy Ilempel and Lincoln Hig- gins. Anthony Lovasco received a his- tory award, and Peter Anastas and Rob- ert Stephenson were presented awards in the Science Fair. Marilyn Andrews represented the poets in the class by earning an honorable mention in t lie Jeremy Ingalls poetry contest. Is this proof enough? Statement II. Without the sophomores extra-curricular activities would be at a standstill in G.H.S. Proof: Bruno Modica promoted the newly-formed History Club and is now the presiding officer. President of the Camera Club is Ronald Mello, and officers in the Science Club are Peter Anastas, Robert Stephenson, and Bruno Modica. In the Latin Club Tory Ga- mage and Sally Marshall hold responsi- ble offices. Members of the sophomore class actively participate in all activi- ties offered them. Statement III. Among sophomores muscle power is well applied and plentiful. Proof: Representing the class of 1955 in the G.II.S. Athletic Association is Sal- vatore Lucido, who has been a member for two consecutive years. Lettermen Paul Fialho, hockey; Carlo LaFata, football; Ed Nasser, basketball; prove that the sophs also take an active part in the various intramural sports. Statement IV. Sophomore cadets can give a few pointers to West Point. Proof: Outstanding among the drillers are Ronald Brown, Leonard DeCoste, Peter Kerr, and Kenneth Tarr, each bearing a pair of corporal stripes. Tot- ing the rifles are the sharp-shooters of the class of ' 55, Leonard Amaral, Philip Coull, Arnold Ellis, and Jay Stewart. Let ' s not forget the girls! Certainly those to keep our eye on in the ranks of the Girls ' Drill Team are Faye Borge, Ellen Egan, Mary Haskins, Marilyn Johnson, Marianne Linquata, Judy Roper, and Betsy Wood. Statement V. In the G.H.S. literary world the sophomores have contributed much genius. Proof: Writing for t he Beacon are Ann Davis and Bruno Modica, feature writers, and Marilyn Johnson, who is Gulliver’s personal guide. Reporters on the Flash are Peter Anastas, Joan De- Marco, M aureen Doyle, Carol Johnson, and Bruno Modica. Not to be neglected are the literati who have produced this page of the Flicker. They are none other than Peter Anastas, Joan De- Marco, Tory Gamage, Anthony Lovas- co, and Bruno Modica. CLASS of 1956 Student Council Representatives 63 Class of 1956 honen. John Viello.

To mention and thank everyone who has aided us in our production is an impossibility, but anyone who in any way aided us in this accomplishment receives the heartfelt thanks of the senior class. However, in the passing out of bouquets, some people deserve orchids, imaginary though they may be Mi W aterman and Mr. Steedman - our patient advisers my editorial board — Izzy. Mike, Jimmy, and Judy — the hours they ' ve spent Mr. James T. Bleiler of Purdy ' s — our “great inspirer Mi Christopherson — sales Mi McGinley — typing Miss Gale- advice Mr. Smith — patience my staff — doing the last-minute details . Koski and the Flash ' s able coverage . Castle and Lucido — our artists, turning our foggy thoughts into reality . our sponsors and advertisers — our financial backbone those who solicited them Mr. Cafasso and the Chaml er of Commerce band pictures the parents who patiently undertook to live through our l oard meetings with the resulting heated discussions, and who served us those ever-welcome refreshments. Mrs. Rose, the ever-obliging hostess and Mr. George A. Carney of the Andover Press — whose work, pa- tience. and cheerfulness helped us turn jumbled jargon into a yearbook.
