We do this in recognition of the fact that throughout our years at Greenfield High School the faculty has assisted our class not only in the scholas¬ tic field but also in the many activities of high school life. Without this co¬ operation the success that has, accompanied our efforts would not have been possible. Therefore, we should like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty of Greenfield High School for their inestimable contribution to the success of our class. 3 IN APPRECIATION MR. LENARD E. DEWYEA MR. STEPHEN K. LOVETT We, the class of 1949, would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Lenard E. Dewyea and Mr. Stephen K. Lovett who have been our counselors.

The Class of 1949 was first introduced to the Greenfield Chapter of Massachusetts State Pro Merito in April of 1948 when Doug¬ las Bonneville, Lorraine Holmes, Robert Hyman, Janet Roberge, Stephen Stamatopo- lus, and Joanna Wunsch were appointed to Junior Pro Merito. These students, along with their faculty advisor. Miss Marion Bart¬ lett, Mr. Arthur Watt and Senior members of Pro Merito, attended the spring, annual State Convention which was held May 8, 1948 at Technical High School in Springfield. At this state meeting Stephen Stamatopolus was elected President of the State Pro Merito. In September of 1948 new members were announced. They were: Norman Aaron, Beverly Bates, Betty Chesney, Margaret Donahue, Williamina Harvey, Edwin Karas, Ruel Morse, Lillian Musiak, Carolyn Pod- worski, Elaine Rogalski, Kenneth Salisiewski, Dorothy Sheehan, Maxwell Strange, Ray¬ mond Tenney, and Howard Wing. Many members attended the District Con¬ vention in Orange on Wednesday October 6, 1948 at which they met members of sur¬ rounding high schools. As a means of raising money. Pro Merito sold programs at the school football games. These programs were printed in the school Print Shop and sold by student volunteers. After the mid-year marks were averaged, two new members were added. These were Peggy Cheves and Donald Jacobs. The annual, spring convention of Massa¬ chusetts State Pro Merito was held May 14, 1949 in Greenfield. Over four hundred stu¬ dents from all parts of Massachusetts at¬ tended. Thus a successful year was climaxed by this entertaining convention. The members of Pro Merito would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Marion Bartlett for her untiring effort toward mak¬ ing this such a successful and enjoyable year. 49 The Class of 1949 Presents • • • • Standing: Douglas Bonneville, Joseph Muka, Allen Pratt, Howard Wing, Francis Fosmire, Sheila Dun- nigan, Mr. William L.

' J ' HE most successful senior play in recent years was presented on the nights of the nineteenth and twentieth of November by the class of 1949. The play, a Henry Aldrich comedy, co-starred Howard Wing and Sheila Dunnigan in the leading roles of Henry Aldrich and Barbara Pearson. Goldsmith’s sparkling comedy, “What a Life’’ has achieved great popularity in recent years. The plot of the play concerns the theft of several band instruments for whose disappearance Henry is blamed. Henry’s appearance in the principal’s office one morning set him off on a chain of merry adventures, which were to cause him much grief. Upon meeting Barbara in the office Henry invites her to the football dance. Although George Bigelow had previously dated her for the event she agreed to go with Henry be¬ cause of George’s rudeness to Henry. As Henry’s marks are on t he downgrade, his mother refuses to allow him to attend the dance unless he passes his Roman History exam with the highest grade in the class. Realizing that he is unable to do so, Henry resorts to cribbing and is caught in the attempt. Ferguson from police headquarters then appears on the scene and with the help of Miss W’heeler, the music teacher, finally lo¬ cates the missing instruments in a pawnshop. After examining several specimens of handwriting, Ferguson concludes that the true culprit is George Bigelow and not Henry. The many other characters not only help to further the plot, but also contribute realism and humor to the production. CAST: Henry Aldrich. . Barbara Pearson Mr. Bradley . . . . Mr. Nelson ....

They were strange and new. Behind each door lurked a new and unknown menace. But, worst of all, there were seniors — seniors who knew every nook and cranny of this new and overawing building. But some¬ how we survived these days, and soon we learned the ways of the high school and the characteristics of some of our teach¬ ers. One in particular I Football rolled around almost before we knew it, and we had the Western Massa¬ chusetts Championship for the second suc¬ cessive year. Remember that game with Westfield which we won in the last few minutes 26-21? Winter came and brought with it basket¬ ball. Several members of the class of 1949 stood out very prominently on that year’s team. Among them were Kenny Salisiewski, Lenny Harris, Justin Moore and Howie Burns. Winter also brought other things. The least of these was mid-year exams. Surviving this ordeal we found spring around 55 the corner. When spring comes of what does a young man think? Right! And what could be more symbolic of this thought than the following photo? 1 Spring also brought strains of music and the annual Spring Concert. Of course spring had other complications including the following: 56 Along came graduation time and now we were juniors. We could look down on the un¬ familiar sophomores. There were still seniors to fear. Nevertheless, we did our part on the football field. Remember that last game we helped win for Moe? A few of the more adventurous set out for Washington with some of the faculty. The trip provided some laughs, especially in this masterpiece. After Turkey Day Rehearsals for what was to be Mr. Jeff’s last musical show began. “Do You Remember” those dances? In our Junior year a new sport appeared in the school curriculum. Under the direction of the truant officer how could the tennis club be anything but successful. We also discovered the versatility of our class president as he showed how it used to be done. 57 Came the fall of 1948 and we were about to become seniors. We certainly proved that we were a smart class by electing Doug Bonneville, president, George Dyer, vice- president, Rosemary Cotton, secretary, and Ken Salisiewski treasurer. And we didn’t do so badly in picking our home room officers. After two years we were on our last leg of the journey through Greenfield High School. This was our last chance to leave our mark in our Alma Mater. The track team worked hard under the direction of Coach Georgerian but once again we lost to our friends (?) across the river. However, the team well represented the school in the spring events. Came football again and these smiling faces were seen everywhere. Field Hockey proved highly successful among the weaker sex of the school. “Lep- erosy” was introduced to our vocabulary. Maybe these characters know about that. 58 Every night the lights burned late in the auditorium. Shouts and cries rent the air for the Senior Play was taking shape. The first of the talent shows came, and we saw some of our underclassmen in action. We also saw what some of our class could do in the way of shirt-removal service. On the same stage we saw that Swede or was he a Norwegian? Whatever he was he sure could beat that drum. The end of the football season meant the end of a school athletic career for some, but nobody can say the end was not befitting a good team. And Stan Benjamin’s appetite produced this masterpiece. A new year came along, and basketball re¬ ceived a shot in the arm. Or was it a death¬ blow? Whichever way you look at it, the faculty did a good job despite long cigars and falling pants. 59 Don’t forget the girls team. They lost their first game in over three years, but the girls were just as good in defeat as in the pre¬ ceding 39 games. What other test could there be of true champions. Of course school would not be complete without the gang at the Corner Store. We hope you don’t get the impression that school is all work and no play. To make sure we include the following: Now we have finished our stay in this school. There have been times when we re¬ volted and hated the very walls of this school. But we have formed real friendships. Now before us is the road of life. For some it will be rocky while others will find it smooth and wide. On our journey down this road we shall still remember our years in Green¬ field High School and the friends we once knew. 60 IVY ODE Tune - “The Palisades” Ye ivy, verdant, tender ivy. Ye sacred crown on Bacchus’ head. Our voices echo to thy symbol. As known to all the sages old. Increase your twining vines and flourish; Become the token of our faith; Illumine now our upward pathway. Ye symbol of our lives. Ye ivy, verdant, tender ivy. Embodiment of ages old. Awaken to the Springtime’s murmur; Wax strong in Phoebus’ summer rays; Be calm amid the autumn Zephyrs, And rest in Winter’s dark’ning days; Then rise unto a radiant vision. Ye symbol of our lives. — Joanna Lillian Wunsch 61 CLASS SONG Tune - “Annie Lisle” Here assembled with our classmates For our last good-by, Ne’er again we meet together In dear old Greenfield High. Here we’ve seen our classmates’ faces In the years gone past; Now we leave these halls together, Friends both true and fast. When we face the world tomorrow. We will not forget All the joys we leave behind us With a sad regret. Chorus: As we view the days behind us. Never growing less. Praise once more our Alma Mater, Dear old G. H.

This was possible because of the fine sportsmanship and co-operation of the stu¬ dent body and its willingness to follow the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders followed the teams to every game and helped to spirit them along to many wins. Snappy-looking uniforms plus plenty of pep and energy will always be remembered as characteristics of this year’s cheerleaders. 85 MUSICAL SHOW ttCTATION G. H. S. 1949 on your Dial,” ‘ the first such production by Phil John¬ son, proved to be an outstanding success. The program opened with several marches featuring the Greenfield Public School Band assisted by the junior and senior twirlers. This was followed by an accordian solo by Allen Pratt. Patricia Seibert rendered “H Bacio” in English and Italian. Doug Bonne¬ ville then took over with his version of “My Mammy” a la A1 Jolson. Assuming the baton, Howard Wing, band president, led the band in the march “Lex¬ ington.” Charlie Keller, magician of the day, amazed the audience with his legerdemain. A second solo by Patricia Seibert was fol¬ lowed by two Glee Club numbers, “Night¬ fall” and “Serenade.” After intermission, the orchestra opened with two popular numbers, featuring Larry Shumway and Bill Casey. Two piano solos were followed by another orchestral number and vocal by William Ostrowski. “The New Look,” a dance number, took an unexpected twist and proved one of the highlights of the show. Larry Masiello’s “Return to Sorento” brought wide acclaim from the audience. Two dance numbers, a ballet by Maureen Martin and a routine by several dancers, set the stage for a vocal by Carolyn Streigel. Following this, there was a piano duet by Evelyn Lewis and Pauline Bibby. A vocal trio harmonized in two semi-classical numbers. The flawless playing of Howard Wing on the trumpet made the sun shine through “Stormy Weather.” Mary Hanley performed a ballet. In place of Peggy Moran, who became ill, , Lorraine Holmes gracefully filled in with a toe dance. Bobby Edmonds then drew several encores with his free and uninhibited danc¬ ing. After a dance routine by underclassmen, Juanita Harris sang a solo. The comedy songs by Doug Bonneville, Ken Salisiewski, John Barry, were warmly received. This was followed by a specialty by Walter Peters, a tap dance routine, and a repeat performance by Charles Keller. “This is My Country,” sung by the entire cast, brought to a close this successful musical production. 86 ORCHESTRA front row.

The opening meet, at the Franklin County Fair in the fall against Turners Falls High School, was lost by 2 3 of a point. The final score was 42 1 3 to 41 2 3. Turners Falls held the edge in the running events but Greenfield came back strong in the field events and had a 4 1 3 point lead before the decisive half-mile relay run which Turners won. Training the squad heartily with the anti¬ cipation of honors in various meets. Track Coach Georgerian scheduled four meets, two of them dual meets with other schools and all meets away from home. The Greenies went to Westfield High School and came back with a 593 to 393 win. “Sonny” Allen, “Lennie” Harris, “Rab¬ bit” Graves, “Jimmy” Harris, and “Ken” Salisiewski paced the Greenies to this win. Allen won the discus, shot put and the jave¬ lin events, Salisiewski won the high jump. Graves won the pole vault, “Lennie” Harris won the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash and the running broad jump and “Jimmy” Harris won the half mile run. In their next meet, the Greenfield High School team suffered a 58 to 41 defeat at the hands of an experienced and talented track squad at Drury High School in North Adams. On entering the University of Massa¬ chusetts Relays at Alumni Field at UM, the Greenfield team placed second with 21 points in Class D competition. Rockland High School won the Class D meet but was not far ahead of GHS. Again Sonny Allen shone in the discus, javelin and shot put throws but team totals were, added and Greenfield placed first in one and second in the other two. Greenfield won the 880 yard relay event on the combined efforts of “Howie” Burns, “Kenny” Salisiewski, “Jimmy” Harris, and “Rabbit” Graves who turned in a neat time of 1:40:4. Allen had been hitting around 160 feet in his javelin throws and had his eye on break¬ ing the record at the Western Massachusetts High School meet at Westfield late in May. The record had been about 156 feet. 93 FOOTBALL Bottom: John Taylor, Ray Dykes, Roland Emery, Robert Britton, George Stafford, Arthur Dyer, Fred Budarz, T.

V 7’ITH a record of eight wins and one de- feat, the 1948 Greenfield High School Green Wave experienced a very successful season and came very close to the 1948 West¬ ern Massachusetts schoolboy football cham¬ pionship and crown. Under the capable direction of Head Coach Carl H. Nichols and Assistant Coaches Stan Benjamin, Earl Richardson, and Danny Dyer, the boys made one of the best squads in many years. The squad lost the opening contest to Pittsfield High School at the new athletic field. The purple Elephants from the Berk- shires capitalized on a brace of Greenie fumbles to score twice before an opening day crowd of thirty-eight hundred fans. The following week the team traveled to do battle with another Berkshire eleven, Drury High School at North Adams. Although they were hampered by injuries, the Green Wave- sters bounced back from their previous de¬ feat with a 19-0 win. On October 2, the Greenies went on their first extensive road trip to Wakefield. Savage¬ line play by Juice Moore, Nook Burnishke, and Dick Greene and perfect offensive play in the backfield netted the Greenfields squad a 20-6 win. After an open date, Northampton High School came here to be whipped in the first half, 25-0. It was the fourth straight white¬ washing of a Meadow City team by Green¬ field teams, the last four Green Waves totaled 108 points. Springfield Tech High School invaded the grounds at Veterans Memorial Field only to be routed 39-6 by the Greenies. Sonny Allen and Lennie Harris sparked the defense and “Geo” Dyer and Frank Kelley starred on the defense. Early Friday morning, October 29, the 94 FOOTBALL team left on another road trip to Oneonta, New York, where they encountered the Oneonta High School Yellow Jackets and emerged victorious from another scoring spree, 30-7. The game was played on Hal¬ lowe’en eve and because one of the managers forgot to pack the green jerseys, the Green¬ field combine used their new whites which make Burns and Allen look like elusive spirits running through the New Yorkers’ line. It was in this game that Rabbit Graves made the only touchdown of his career. The following day the squad saw the Penn State-Colgate collegiate game and visited Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Playing back on their home grounds after completing a perfect record on the road, Greenfield hits its peak in the Holyoke game to win 33-0 on November 4. On Armistice Day, Westfield High School suffered its only defeat 6-0 at the hands of the rambunctious Green Wave. A third quarter pass play from Howie Burns to Dick Greene caught everyone napping and the only tally was scored. Savage play of Barrel Bonneville, Kavvy Kavanaugh, Geo Dyer, Frank Kelley, and Nook Burniske stopped a Westfield tally with two terrific goal line stands. The season closed as the arch enemies, Greenfield and Turners Falls met on the field where the Greenies won 14-7. A Turner’s punt blocked by Nook Burniske rolled into the end zone for the only two points in the first half. Kenny Saleske scored the first touchdown on a screen pass and Sonny Allen scored the second on a 14 yard jaunt off right tackle after Lennie Harris made the most brilliant run in his career. Johnny Joslyn starred on the defense in this game. Members of the first team reserves who saw plenty of action were Johnny Barry, Johnny Akey, Johnny Joslyn, Rabbit Graves, Stan Doore, Eddie Day, Jimmy Harris, and Jimmy Stamatopulos. FIRST TEAM First row: Richard Greene, William Kavanaugh, John Akey, Douglas Bonneville, Frank Kelley, George Dyer, John Barry, Robert Burniski, Justin Moore Second row: Coach Nichols, Lenard Harris, Howard Burns, Edwin Allen, Ken Salisiewski, Coach Benjamin. 95 BASKETBALL First row: Joseph Pelc, Howard Burns, John Joslyn, Kenneth Salisiewski, Lenard Harris, Justin Moore, James Harris Second row: Richard Sautter, Francis Fosmire, Manager-, Dan Dyer, Coach-, William Duffney, Ted Croteau, Managers-, Stan Doore, James Stamatopulos. The varsity basketball team under the direction of “Danny” Dyer had another ex¬ ceptional year and finished second in the Valley League. The four veterans from last year’s quintet, “Ken” Salisiewski, “Howie” Burns, Justin Moore, and “Lenny” Harris combined with “Johnny” Joslyn and “Dick” Sautter to form a fast and aggressive basket¬ ball team. After a slow start caused by foot¬ ball injuries to Captain Salisiewski and Moore, the team caught fire to finish the season with a creditable 11-7 record in interschool play. A highlight of the year was the Faculty Game played on the night of February 12 to raise funds for the annual trip of the team to Boston to see the New England Inter¬ scholastic Finals. After a very hard and clean (?) game, the varsity edged the faculty made up of “Stan” Benjamin, “Georgeous George” Georgerian, “Slippery Steve” Lov¬ ett, “Danny” Dyer, “Jumping Joe” Taylor, “Marshmilo” Galbraith, and “Raunch” Richard” Morris. Another highlight was the team’s victory over Athol High, which had previously gone through 12 straight games undefeated. The fine play of John Joslyn, high scorer of the team, and “Howie” Burns did much to make the victory possible. To cap a fine season, the Holy Cross Fresh¬ man Team was brought to Greenfield to play the varsity in another benefit game to defray expenses of the trip to Boston. Although pressed all the way, the Crusaders’ height and passing skill was too much for the high school, but all agreed it was a good basket¬ ball game. 96 JAYVEE BASKETBALL First row: Clayton Peters. Ralph Akey, Allan Lyman, Roland Emery, Chris Collins, Peter Conway, James Organ Second row: Robert Unaitis, Ray Dykes, Francis Fosmire, Daniel Dyer, Coach) William Duffney, Ted Croteau, Edward Day. r ECAUSE they were hampered by inex- perience, the jayvee basketball team, made up of sophomores, did not enjoy too success¬ ful a season. However, the team played some very good basketball and improved steadily toward the end of the season. “Ted” Hoosic, the big six foot center, was high- scorer for the team, while “Eddie” Day, “Rollie” Emery, “Ray” Dykes, Ralph Akey, “Jim” Organ, “Pete” Conway, “Al” Lyman, and “Bobby” Unaitis all played well for “Danny” Dyer. Because the team had to play older and more experienced jayvee teams, it did not amass an impressive record, but, nevertheless, “Danny” Dyer is counting upon some of this year’s team to help out the varsity next year. 97 TENNIS First row I to r: Alan Lyman, Raymond Tenney, Gene Bond. Second row: Maurice Quinlan, Dale Wyatt. r TNDER the capable direction of a Frank¬ lin County Tennis standout, Ray Spen ¬ cer, the Greenfield High School Tennis Squad did very well in several meets. The team had only one match scheduled before the season got under way in full swing and that with Westfield High School. The team included John Prokowich, Ray Tenney, Dale Wyatt, Gene Bond, Maurice Quinlan, John Pochus, Wayne Barber, and Allen. There was the hope of a possible Valley High School Tennis league but the idea didn’t work out as well as several of the Val¬ ley High Schools decided not to have teams. Teams in the Valley League include Green¬ field, Turners Falls, Northampton, West- field, Holyoke and Chicopee. Greenfield, Hol¬ yoke, Northampton and Westfield were the only Valley schools that had teams. 98 BASEBALL First row left to right: Kenneth Salisiewski, Justin Moore, Robert Turner, Robert Pedigree, Howard Burns, James Stamatopulos, Stanley Doore, John Joslyn Second row: Richard Shattuck, Frank Kelley, John Gra¬ der, Richard Metelica, Paul Croteau, Donald Kovalsick, Stephen Stamatopulos Third row: George Wis- newski.

The starting nine includes an all-veteran in field composed of Justin Moore at first, Jim Tetreault at second, “Bob” Pedigree at shortstop, and “Ken” Saleski at the hot corner. The pitching will be handled by Steve Stamatupulos, Tom Ryan, “Mickey” Turner, and Dick Shattuck. Stamatopulos is the only senior among the hurlers. Captain of the team is Howard Burns, whi has been an outstanding catcher for three years. Rounding out the varsity are Frank Kelley, John Joslyn, and Stan Doore in the outfield, and Jim Stamatopulos as a versatile utility infielder. Besides the regular Valley League schedule Greenfield will play Athol, Orange, Brattle- boro, West Hartford, and Hopkins Academy. The last three are newcomers to the Green¬ field schedule. Several practice games hace been scheduled with Mt. Hermon, Deerfield, and Keene. These games coupled with the independent games will insure that Greenfield will be ready for the Valley League opener with Holyoke on May 2. No matter what the final outcome of the season play, Greenfield fans are sure to see plenty of fast, smart, aggressive baseball from the 1949 edition of the Greenies.

That year there came to Greenfield High School a woman who has done a great deal to make girls’ sports more popular. We’re referring to Mrs. Dorothy Kells. “Coach” is well known for her undefeated basketball teams, but these teams are not her only contribution to Greenfield High School. She has also introduced field hockey to the school, and since her arrival, softball has increased in popularity. Not only was the class of ’49 her first class, but it will also be her last class because she is leaving G. H. S. this year. With her go all the thanks in the world for being a wonderful “Coach” and all our hopes for the best of luck in the future. 102 SOFTBALL Front row left to right: Eleanor Smiley, Riella Emery, Ann McGuane, Rosemary Cotton, Ann Beaumont, Elizabeth Mayers, Maureen Martin, Marilyn Barrise Second row: Dolores Kestyn, Mary Lou McHugh, Marilyn Bristol, Mildred Robbins, Joanne Brezinski, Shirley Alston, Phyllis Rogalski Third row: Billie Harvey, Betty Babcock, Phyllis Babcock, Alice Hume, Mary L. Hanley, Katherine Mastaler, Peggy Dedinas, Lottie Welenc Fourth row: Maryanne Rogerson, Patricia Malloy, Mrs. Kells, Coach Softball has become one of the most popu¬ lar girls’sports in Greenfield High School. This year over fifty girls have tried out for softball. Coach Kells is fortunate in having ten veter¬ ans returning this year. They are “Ella” Smiley, “Rosie” Cotton, “Phyl” Rogalski, “Millie” Robbins, “Tommie” Aiston, “Liz¬ zie” Mayers, Alice Hume, “Beaver” Beau¬ mont, Alice Dobias, and Delores Kestyn. The girls have chosen for their manager “Pat” Malloy, and the team is looking forward to another successful season.

Under the coaching of Mrs. Dorothy “Coach” Kells, the team opened its season on September 30. The girls traveled to Keene, N. H., where “Ella” Smiley and Arlene Dufraine, playing left and right inner respectively, scored goals. How¬ ever, the team returned from the bloody “Dust Bowl Game” with a 6 to 2 loss. The team rallied on the defense when it met Keene for the second time on home ground. “Duckie” Clifford, “Lizzie” Myers and Janet Grotto filled the fullback spots with Mary Shea at the goal. The result was a 2 to 0 win for Keene. For its third game the team traveled to Gardner by bus. “Tommie” Aiston was the defensive standout seconded by Sheila Dun¬ nigan and Nancy Ackerman. The “Greenies,” however, lost by a 1 to 0 score. Athol’s trip to Greenfield proved to be a 3 to 0 loss for the visitors. With the sharp shooting of Natalie Carpenter and Rosemary Cotton, the team rallied for its first win of the season. Halfback Joan Duprey was out¬ standing on defense. Gardner’s return game meant another loss for the Greenfield team. With goals by Rosemary Cotton and “Billie” Harvey and the score 3 to 2 in Gardner’s favor, the game ended as the “Greenies” were well on their way for another score. The season ended with a total of one win and four losses. 104 JAYVEE FIELD HOCKEY First row: Anne McGuane, Riella Emery, Priscilla Van Wagner, Betty Babcock, Anne Hamer, Sue Hoadley, Mary Lou McHugh, Marilyn Bristol Second row: Carol Brissette, Mary Jo McNicholas, Rosemary O’Hara, Maryanne Rogerson, Sheila Hayes, Ann Beaumont, Helen Berry, Cynthia Holman, Coach Kells. Jayvee team lost its opening game to the Keene Jayvees by a score of 2 to 3. The Greenfield scores were worked into the goal by Riella Emery and Mary Jo Mc¬ Nicholas. The return visit of the Keene team saw much improvement in the defense of the home team. The outstanding halfbacks were Barbara Bristol, Betty Babcock, Cynthia Holman and Anne Hamer. The game was a 1 to 0 win for Keene. At Gardner the team came through with a 1 to 0 win for their record. Helen Berry re¬ ceived credit for the only score of the game. Fullbacks Rosemary O’Hara and Maryanne Rogerson saw quite a bit of action. The Athol game proved to be another win for the Jayvees. Again it was Helen Berry who came through with the single goal. The Greenie’s goalie, Mary McHugh, was kept busy at her position, but she managed to keep Athol from scoring. The final score was 1 to 0 for Greenfield. The return bout with Gardner resulted in the Greenie’s third win. Riella Emery and Phyllis Rogalski scored for Greenfield. Not¬ able playing was done by Ann McGuane and Sheila Hayes. The season ended for the Jayvees with a total of three wins and two losses. 105 VARSITY BASKETBALL I {reading from left to right) First row: Phyllis Rogalski, Elizabeth Mayers, Rosemary Cotton, Eleanor Smiley, Janice Townsend, Janice Hendricks Second row: Coach Kells, Carol Spat, Joan Duprey, Betty Shippey, Shirley Alston, Maryanne Rogerson, Mary Shea, Patricia Malloy, Arlene Dufraine, Adelaide Clifford, Manager. REENFIELD High School’s basketball lassies once again experienced a success¬ ful season under the able coaching of Mrs. Dorothy Kells. Starting the season with only two veterans, “Ella” Smiley and “Rosie” Cotton, the team met and defeated Ludlow High. Despite the excellent playing of “Tommie” Aiston, Joan Duprey and Pat Malloy, the Greenies were handed their first defeat in 40 games at Keene. The local team later gained revenge by defeating Keene with the out¬ standing playing of Phyllis Rogalski, Carol Spat and Liz Myers. Betty Shippey, Arlene Dufraine and Mary¬ anne Rogerson showed their ability when the Greenies defeated Turners High. “Duckie” Clifford proved herself to be an able manager. In short, the achievements of the 1948- 1949 Girls Basketball team will be recalled favorably in the years to come. 17 — Greenfield 25 RECORD December Ludlow 14 23 — Greenfield 25 Alumni 19 29 — Keene 28 Greenfield 26 7 — Greenfield 32 January Gardner 18 14 — Greenfield 20 Orange 18 18 — Deerfield 24 Greenfield 23 21 — Greenfield 32 Keene 32 25 — Greenfield 27 Turners Falls 18 29 — Greenfield 34 Arms Academy 25 1 — Greenfield 23 February Orange 17 4 — Greenfield 35 Deerfield 26 8 — Arms Academy 23 Greenfield 19 11 — Greenfield 22 Turners Falls 8 15 — Greenfield 34 Gardner 15 18 — Greenfield 34 Ludlow 20 106 JAYVEE BASKETBALL Standing I to r: Coach Kells, Marilyn Bristol, Alice Humes, Barbara Crowley, Sheila McDonough, Barbara Curtis, Shirley Coch, Moreen Enderlee, Janet Burns, Ann Hamer, Patsy Shupe Sitting I to r: Barbara Allen, Connie Graves, Marilyn Barrise, Joanna Brezinski, Katy Mastaler, Mary Han¬ ley, Riella Emery Greenfield Girls’ Jayvee Basketball team has completed a very successful season with twelve wins and only one defeat. Although the team as a whole was inexperi¬ enced — none of the girls having played on the school team before — Coach Kells did a fine job in molding the girls into a precision and high-scoring team. Katy Mastaler and Barbara Curtis were outstanding in their all- around play. These girls, along with the rest of the team composed of Mary Hanley, Joanne Brezinski, Connie Graves, Marilyn Barrise, and Barbara Allen, should be a great help to the varsity next year. The team de¬ serves much credit for the excellent play and sportsmanship that it has shown in all the games. 107 eCBE-GLO-NORMA- MOE-efTTY.ARL RUTHIE-MAR ' MRL -i- t) - f i . ■ ’• ' DRILL-CORP RUTH-FfE-HAT- PAT CARP 0 JOAN-MARY- PAT- PAT+PHYL NONNIE BARB JANET HOIVIE+M RI fWBBIT QUIN+GLORIA THE SEVEN UPS MARY, PAT, JAHPHIL ' BASE WILLIE.

His subject is “Look to ihe Day.” The early years of Dr. Pinard’s life were spent in South Africa. He was born in a concentration camp during the troublous times of the South African Boer War. Following were years characterized by the strife fol¬ lowing the war. After the discovery of fhamonds in his district and, because of the mush¬ rooming population, he became a school principal at the age of 17. How¬ ever, realizing his need f ir further education, he soon obtained his .‘ .M. and Ed.M. degrees and, in 1927, his Ph.D. in psychology at tlie University of London. Dr. Pinard has run twice for the British Parliament and has also written several plays as a hobby. In his wide travels he has addressed groups in SouUi Africa and England as well as America. In 1931, Dr. Pinard studied at Amer¬ ican universities on a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship. He later re¬ turned to the Llnited States as a per¬ manent resident.

Many To Attend School Results of a recent survey conducted by the Exponent with the help of Mr. Lovell showed that most Seniors have definite ideas of what they are going to be doing in the immediate future. As all blanks were not turned in, and some students were not available, this is a only a partial review. Only a few of those planning to at¬ tend school are uncertain as to their choices. These include Norman Aaron, Robert Frank, Mary LaChance, Pa¬ tricia Malloy, Gloria Martino, Eliza¬ beth Mayers, and Marilyn Miller. The University of Massachusetts and Northampton Commercial School vied for first place in preferences. Those who will study at ’Hamp Commercial next year are: Beverly Bates, John Caloon, Bsggy Cheves, Virginia Cole, Joan Duprey, Norma Pluff, Mary Shea, and Robert Tombs. Those students who will be at the University are: Billie Harvey, Robert Hyman, Joe Pelc, Allan Pratt, Janet Roberge, Judy Schucker, Ray Tenney, and Francis Fosmire. tjuite a few of the Claes of ' 49 gradu¬ ates are planning to enter the field of medicine.

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers and Classmates: One of my aims here today is to thank the parents and teachers on behalf of the class of nineteen forty-nine. I don’t feel, however, that it is entirely possible to do this. During the eighteen years of our existence we have buflt up such a debt to these same parents and teachers that I naturally feel incapable of fully thanking them. However, I’m sure you realize that when, on behalf of the class, I do thank them for their patience and sacrifices of time, knowledge, and love, I do so with all the gratitude of the one hundred and ninety people in the class. Classmates: I don’t know whether it has been more honor or more pleasure to work in cooperation with this class. We’ve had fine athletic teams, exc ellent scholastic records, and successful productions of every kind; each activity followed by the loyal and enthusiastic support of the entire class. However, the most outstanding attribute of this class is its good fellowship and cooperation. For instance, ask our treasurer if he’s had any trouble collecting class dues. I hope we’ll never forget our struggles from the freshman year forward. In the future years; perhaps at reunions, perhaps in business, perhaps in pleasure, some of us will stop our work and go back over the fine times we’ve had in our four years together. Wherever we go, or whatever we may do, I’m sure our fondest memories will be of our fine friendship as members of the class of nineteen forty-nine. SCHOLARSHIP FUND One of the finest projects that one of our service clubs or organ¬ izations here in the high school could undertake is the establish¬ ment of a scholarship fund which would help worthy students of Greenfield High School to further their education or training after high school. The scholarship could become an annual award at graduation time, similar to the various Rotary and Women’s Club awards. Of course, this fund could not be built up in a short rime. It might take years. But if sorne organization would start the ball rolling by making an initial contribution, other groups would be stirred to making similar contributions that would augment the fund. In a few years the fund might grow large enough so that only the interest be used. This scholarship fund could become a school project. Our various groups in the school— Hi-Y, Pro Merito, Musical groups, etc.—might undertake special money-raising projects for the fund. Selection of the person who would receive the aid, the amount of aid, the qualifications and other details could be settled by a faculty committee. Any Greenfield High School student going on to college or trade school that the faculty committee considered worthy would be eligible to compete for the award. Establishment of such a fund would show the community that the students at Greenfield High School are showing an interest in their own future and are doing something to help themselves for a change. 1 he scholarship fund is well-worth serious consideration. Let’s hope that some group will wish to carry the idea further. AT GRADUATION No matter how busy the senior may find himself at graduation, he sets aside a little time to examine his life carefully. He has now come to the end of school-day security; he is entering a new, adult world, and his preparation for and his purpose in this new world deserve serious thought. In order to determine how nearly he approaches maturitv, the graduate should consider how well he accepts responsibilities, takes care o f himself, and co-operates with others. As evidenced bv the state of the world today, too few people attain these qualities. I ' he senior should also take a little time to ascertain his purpose in life. Not only should he have a definite vocational goal hut also an ideal or ideals to strive for in himself. To know just what he hopes to get out of life is a precaution against nearsighted plan¬ ning. Moreover, the graduate needs faith and philosophy to steer him through life’s bad turns. Then, having gained perhaps a better sense of values, the graduate should enjoy the celebration of twelve-years education. Adventures of Clyde McRunt, Student Of all the things that happen in a lifetime, there are some that happen only once. One of these occasions was now creeping up on the unsuspecting Clyde McRunt. What was this? Why, graduation! The notices had been sent to Ripley stating that after-thirty nine years in senior high school, Clyde was about to graduate. Of course, the happy news had to be broken slowly to Clyde or the shock might be too great. Finally, the great day approached Commencement exercises began with the class banquet, a noble feast, which took place at Nicola’s and Albert’s Hash House. As Clyde left the house with his red fire-engine, 1950 model, Buick convertible (graduation present) his father warned, “Now, I don’t want you to go out raising cain after the banquet. Be sure and come right home after its all over and no girls!” Of course, Clyde pulled into the garage at 10:00 A. M. Came Sunday and Baccalaureate Service. Clyde solemnly attended the service, listen¬ ing to the speaker and making certain he did everything correctly. After a good nights sleep, he trav¬ eled to school to attend Class Day exercises. As he marched down the aisle with his partner, he clutched his notebook and pencil which had served him so well during his high school days. Then, while his classmates were pass¬ ing time, he busily took notes on the speakers taking part in Class Day. Afterward he faithfully transcribed and filed them in his records. When he finished this grueling work, he found it was time to attend the Commencement, Dance. Naturally, in order to sav pioney, he did not take a girl. His big, red Buick attracted much attention but he was not easily fooled. His friends thought he should go to the metropolis of Overshoe after the dance and have a little fun. Clyde refused all offers and drove his car home promptly at midnight. The next night he knew the climax had arrived. Tonight he would receive his hard-earned diploma Finally, the great moment arrived. The speeches ended. The awards were completed. l he rest of the class had received their diplomas. Slowly, with dignity, Clyde mounted the steps to the stage and started across to the chairman of the school board. But, horror of all horrors, as he took his first step his foot caught in his gown and he fell flat on his face. Gales of laughter intermingled with sound of chirping birds as he struggled to his feet. Opening his eyes, he looked around and discovered it had all been a terrible dream in the confines of his room. But what a terrible dream! Pray that no graduating student will ever go through what Clyde did in that nightmare! C ' i A Bite A Lunch or a Banquet X I CARL’S TEA ROOM |||| X AND RESTAURANT X III Quality Foods |||| X 265 Main Street Greenfield X Printed In The Greenfield Vocational School Print Shop Setting; Heaven in the year 1999 Characters: St. Pete and “Angelcake” Cotton. (St. Pete is seated on his favorite cloud, which is a combination office and soda fountain. He’s looking over the day’s prospects.) Suddenly he comes to the name of a familiar schoolmate, “.Angelcake” Cotton. S. P. Gee, she’s due on No. 10 Elevator—Special Delivery. (St. Pete rushes to the receiving center for new arrivals.) A. C. ' Imagine meeting you here! S. P. Well, look who’s here! “Angelcake” Cotton. Never thought you’d make it. How was the trip? A. C. A little .airy but I had lots of company. Let’s see, there was “Lou” Bush, our old chemistry teacher. You know, after many years of experimentation, “Lou” finally discovered a formula to teach Caloon Chemistry. Then there was “Ken” Salisiewski, our class treasurer. They say you can’t take it with you, but you should see the pile that he’s bringing up with him. S. P. So that’s what happened to our class dues! A. C. How about showing me around? I feel like I’m walking on air. S. P. Well, I don’t usually do that for most of my customers but, seeing that it’s you, I’ll do it. A. C. Say, do you remember the good old days at G. H. S.? S. P. Do I! How could I forget! We were quite a class. Do you rememb?j our sophomore year? We started it in fine style by winning the cheering cup for the sixth consecutive year. You had quite a hit to do with that, “Angelcake.” A. C. I didn’t do much. It was really the spirit of the school that helped us win. S. P. Then fellows like “Howie” Burns and “Juice” Moore helped our football team win the Western Massachusetts Football Championship that year. A. C. Boy, was I scared stiff when I went through the receivinn- line at the Sophomore Reception which was held for us in the fall! S. P. We found out we didn’t have to be, and “Nuts” Malloy’s band was really fine. A. C. .And who’ll forget “Don Jose” Burns in the musical show that spring? What a lover! S. P. Whoops, watch your step. You almost bumped into that cloud, owned by some character named Donald Jacobs. He’s been up here ever since he tried to prove to Mr. Bush that the atomic bomb is harmless. A. C. Let’s get back to the subject. All the achievements weren’t limited to the boys alone. “Tommie” Alston, “Liz” Mayers, and “Ella” Smiley made the softball team when spring rolled around. S. P. While we’re on the subject of girls, you and “Ella” Smiley helped the girls’ basketball team to another perfect record. A. C. Also, baseball was really on the up. “Ken” Salisiewski “Howie” Burns, Justin Moore, and some character called “High-Pitch-Steve” made the team that year. S. P. Nobody can say we weren’t a brainy class. Right away, we chose “Barrell” Bonneville, president; Patricia Mallov, vice-president; Sheila Dunnigan, secretary; and “Keii” Salisiewski, treasurer. A. C. Who’s that character up there that just floated by on that cloud ? S. P. Oh, that’s only “Carp” playing on her harp. A. C. You mean the little girl who was chosen to go to Girls’ State? By the way, weren’t you supposed to go to Boys’ State that summer, too? S. P. I was supposed to, but it seems somebody made a terrible mistake, and I’m the only boy who was ever elected gover¬ nor of Girls’ State. What a week that was!! A. C. Yes, I can see you now among four-hundred girls. Field Hockey made its debut in our junior year, and there were quite a few who made the team that year. For instance there was “Liz” Mayers, “Billie” Harvey, Sheila Dunni¬ gan, and “Ella” Smiley. S. P. You keep leaving yourself out. Say, watch it! You almost fell through that cloud. That reminds me. The football team fell a bit themselves In our junior year. Imagine losing all of two games! A. C. Well, we beat Turners that year 20-0. “Ken” Salisiewski did a swell job of filling in at quarterback, whereas “Lenny” Harris, “Howie” Burns, “Juice” Moore, F’rank Kelley, “Doug” Bonneville, “Bill” Kavanaugh, “Rabbit” Graves and John Akey all pitched in to help. S. P. Also, “Doug” Bonneville and “Ken” Salisiewski kept right on getting elected president and treasurer respec¬ tively. A. C. Our vocational school came into prominence that year bv electing “Russ” Strohecker as vice-pre.sident and “Bing” Randall as secretary. S. P. Remember the brave girls who chased us poor fellows all over the high school for the Sadie Hawkins Dance? Funny thing, I thought I didn’t have any trouble! A. C. In F ' ehruary those who could afford it packed their bags and took a trip to Washington with Miss Rose and Miss Curtis. S. P. The girls’ basketball team also took a trip to South Boston and came back with the New England Girls’ Club Cham¬ pionship. A. C. Along came the musical show in March. “Do You Re¬ member “Ken” Salisiewski, “Howie” Burns, and Sheila Dunnigan? That was Mr. Jeffs’ last show at G. H. S. be¬ fore he retired. S. P. The boys’ basketball team didn’t do so badly either. They won twelve and lost six, one of the be st records in years. A. C. So what! The girls’ team won a their games again. S. P. All right, all right, but the baseball team really did all right after a rocky start. “Bob” Pedigree took time out from Fiske and Strecker’s and did a swell job at shortstop. A. C. Say, how did you happen to get this job, anyway? As I remember, you weren’t exactly a saint-in high school. S. P. Well, I’ll tell you. I dropped into Mr. Lovett’s room one day for an aptitude test and . . . continued on supplement June, 1949 THE EXPONENT Supplement 011 a 0 S 1 11 We, the undersigned, acting in hehalf of the gr;i luating class of ( reentield High School in the year of our I.ord one thousand nine hundred forty-nine and being of sound body, somewhat sound ininil, theory, anti practice, lIo hereby bequeatlt oit this twentieth day of June to the classes of 1950 and 1951 all of our unearthly possessions and pleasures to be distributed on this day as follows; hirst, and foremost, we leave to all underclassmen the Municipal Swimming Pool, Poet ' s Seat Tower, and the Pumping Station for parking purposes between the hours of nine and twelve every night except Saturday. This will become a law and will be enforced. Secondly, Kenny” Salisiewski gives to “Johnny” Joslyn a well-worn pair of “Keds” and a good “shootin’ eye” for the hoop on the basketball court. Steve” Stamatopulos, with the hope that his shoes may well be filleil, hands down to Tom” Ryan the pitcher’s box and a battered pair of spikes. “Pedro” St. Peter has decided to keep the Charles .“ tlas course which was bequeathed to him from the year before, but, instead, he would like to place his “four wheels’ worth of Blue Death” on the auction block. “Howie” Turner has decided to throw into the wastebasket the book, “How to Get Along In an All-Girl Class.” His act will be accompanied by the well-put phrase, “It can’t be done!” “Rabbit” Graves leaves to “Roily” Emery the only touchdown he ever made in three years of football at Greenfield High School. I he wish is expressed that the Sophomore speedster might make a touchdown in the same park where “Rabbit” made his, Neahwa Park, at Oneonta, New York. “Barrel” Bonneville beaueaths to “Larry” Masiello the ability to render in the musical snows a fine imitation of either “Larry” Parks or Asa Yolson. “Howie” Wing has put his diamond-studded, platinum-plated trumpet with the golden tone into the hock shop for “Bill” Casey to swap in trade a battered trombone. “Punky” Bassett gives one “souped-up” motorcycle to anyone with courage enough—and money enough—to buy it. “Bow’ry” Barry leaves to Ralph Akey a modest disposition and the ability at least to score in a basketball game even though it be at the wrong end of the court. “Barb” Bristol bequeaths to brother “Fred” plenty of skill at the typewriter. He wisely believes that he needs plenty of it to graduate. V ' esta Chickering leaves a bathing suit and a pair of webbed feet at the swimming pool bathhouse for any aspiring underclass¬ man with the same natural ability to learn the art of life-saving that “Chickie” had. “Chizel” Chludzinski transfers to “Donny” Cardwell the ring¬ leader spot the lormer held so long in the fine group cheering at athletic events. “Geeo” Dyer leaves to whoever wishes to foil his classmates in the future the cute ability to knock baskets out of the hoop in “gvm” class by climbing up the wall. “Dick” Greene bequeaths a headache to “Ump” Nichols. The j liimp pigskin pedagog with the gigantic “waste-line” and thin 1 ir will nave to find a football player with a dual personality. N t only “Ump” will have to find someone to fill the gaping hole Lit by “Dick” at the right-end of the line but also he will have to get another punter. “Phyl” Hawkins leaves school after fifty-six years of hard study and is still firmly convinced that she was right in the argument concerning the closed shop she had in her United States History class—she was all for ir. “Glo” Martino bequeaths to Rosemary O’Hara and Ellen Eris- man the ability to arrange popular song titles with some phase of school life for publication in “The Exponent.” “Billy” Perry gives to “Dick” Shattuck a well-moulded (not mouldy!!) set of curls with an instruction booklet entitled, “How to Get the Darn Things to Curl Both Ways at Once.” “Howie” Burns leaves to George Wisnewski and “Mitsy” Croteau all of the athletic department’s catching equipment for use in the baseball season next year. It is the expressed wish of “Burns the Tenor” that Clayton Peters inherit his singing ability “Because” of his great perform¬ ance in the talent show. Janet Grotto bequeaths to anyone with an understanding friend her ability to keep the telephone lines busy. “Ella” Smiley leaves to Carol Spat and to anyone else who wants to learn as quickly as “Ella” did her reputation of being the best dancer in Greenfield High School. “Rosie” Cotton gives to “Katie” Mastaler her love for girls’ basketball. “Bill” Kavanaugh leaves to “Tracy” Burdick a size fifty foot¬ ball uniform and the ability to take care of one’s self in Oneonta. “Billie” Harvey bequeaths to Helen Berry the former’s battered field-hockey stick. “Pat” Malloy leaves to Mary L. Hanley a great sense of humor and a happy-go-lucky personality. “Jan” Roberge renders to “Jimmy” Stamatopulos her ability to be in six places at once. “Lennie” Harris sacrifices to any aspiring and daring youngster with the price of fifty cents that pack of ever-popular “playing cards” which is so worn, thin, and smudged that you have to look quite close to see what card you have. Lorraine Holmes doesn’t exactly know what to do with her ballet slippers, but we’ll give them to Mary T. Hanley since Lorraine hasn’t anything to say about it, anyway. Elaine Rogalski bequeaths to anyone wishing to follow her pleasing ways the finest personality in the whole Senior Com¬ mercial Course. “Pedro’s Oilers” leave to the underclassmen the domination of Greenfield High School so that the “Oilers” can take care of their oil claims, derricks, and wells out in the far west on the West Deerfield frontier. “Juice” Moore bequeaths to anyone with enough “G’s” to catch up with the tall but fleet-footed “Juice” a colorful career in the athletic scene. Frank Kelley departs from Greenfield High School sadly, but he will be content to ride around in “Rabbit’s” car. Claao 339111 roiitimteh Nancy Ackerman leaves to anyone who thinks she has a louiler voice than her a vital snot in the cheering squad. T’his is be- q ueathed with the hope that the (ireen-and-White lassies may win tiie cheering cun again in the fall. “Modest” Jonti Akey quits (ireenfiehl High School to join the Democratic party and clean up Greenfieldf The candidate for representative had .some right ideas in mind, however, we must admit. Barbara lower leaves to .Anne McGuaine a splendid head of red hair. Laura Noye.s wishes to leave a little advice to the juniors who will be graduating next year. She says, “Get your homework ilone on time, aiul you will never have to worry!” (She said this?) “Nat” Carpenter bequeaths to “Buzzy” Pratt, who will also be leaving this fair institution, a book entitled “Miss Wheeler’s Instruction Bo(jk for Learning How to Play the French Horn.” Christy” Jerominek and Ruthic” Walker have decided to keep their favorite corner in “C ' arl’s” which was bequeatheil to them from the class before. .Although instantaneous and extemporaneous explosions did not occur in “chem” classes, “Kd” Karas still has the formula he re¬ ceived from this year’s P.

Millie” Robbins leaves Mrs. Kells’ Softball squad with no likely replacement, since phy.sical qualities on the ball diamond displayed by “Millie” are so difficult to match. binally, we are going to “gang up” on Principal Arthur Watt and take away the opera glasses which were bequeathed to him from the year before because he caught too many Sophomores sleeping in the last row of the balcony during assemblies. In witness whereof, we here do subscribe our names and affix the seal of 1949 this twentieth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred fortv-nine. SKJNED: Adelaide Wingate Clifford Charles Leland Keller Editor’s Scratch Pad Well, here it is June, an l this editor is writing her last column for the “Exponent.” First of all, we’d like to thank all those who have assiste l the Exponent in any way. . list would he endless, hut Mr. Taylor, Mr. Huhbard, Mr. Lovett, and Mr. Watt have been of especial help. Also, we would like to wish the best of luck to next year ' s staff, especially the editors. We can ' t help wondering what they’re going to do with “Clyde McRuni. Ever since “Clyde” won the best column contest, even Howie Wing, liis originator, has been a little frightened of him. And finally, we would like to con¬ gratulate the class of 1949. All through their high school years they have had remarkable class spirit and co-opera¬ tion. Best wishes are in order for the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, too; they have a lot to live up to. Reading over this piece of scribbling, we realize that it sounds as though we’re writing our last will and testa¬ ment. There is no danger, however, for we heard Rosie Cotton was trying to make Mr. Lovett set a reunion date for the class of ' 49. D: W: D: VV: D: W: D: W: D: VV: W: D: (Elass ropljfcy “Here’s the show, Digger! Look at those cars go! From the looks of things, I’ll bet that driver ‘Fran’ Sevene is trying to get injured so nurse ‘Pat’ Donovan will take care of him. ‘Pat’ works at the Louise Totaro’s Home for the Injured. Elizabeth Bentley and Marilyn Miller are on the kitchen staff. I’ve heard that the music that flows from that kitchen is unbelievable.” “This number is great. Will! Look, that’s ‘Glo’ Martino out in the track. She’s going to sit on the hood of the car while Lynch takes the car over its route.” “ ‘Glo’ had better be careful, or the next edition of Wood’s Daily Newspaper will be minus its .Advice-to-the-Lovelorn Column. Did you happen to read it the other day?” “You mean the day it was addressed to Rita Pachalis? Poor Rita didn’t know whether to accept a job as a waitress or as a secretary. That column really covers all sorts of questions.” “I was thinking of the day when it was addressed to Hugh Kennedy. He didn’t know whether he should allow his secretaries, Mary LaChance and Janice Wheeler, one or two weeks vacation.” “Speaking of that newspaper. Will, Joan Davis has a good Date-of-Events Column.” “Pardon me. Digger, but there’s Avis Goodwin and ‘Betty’ Herzig over there. Boy, are they excited! Look at that man’s hat in front of them, and his coat is in shreds!” “Yeh, and it’s Lawrence Peters! There’s Charlotte Russell, too. She must be having the day off from her work.” “After this show let’s go to Pulaski’s for supper. ‘VV’alt’ jeronezk is the manager, and Janet Roberge has done a fine job with menu planning. While you eat, they have enter¬ tainment. ‘Tommy’ Aiston, Lottie Welenc, and Nancy Ackerman are tonight’s feature. They team up for a tumbling act. Last night ‘Dot’ Krejmas sang, and the night before ‘Dot’ Schatz played her cello. Russell Johnson is featured next week with his hypnotic act. His victim, or what have you, will be ‘Over-hill-and-Dale’ VV yatt.” “That’s a nice place, Will. After we finish our supper, we can attend the King Keller Magic Show at the Ray Allis’s Theater. Last week he lost the pearls from June Neault’s neck, and usher ‘Jewel’ Walusiak found them in Arlene Dufraine’s purse. Poor ‘Arl’ didn’t have any idea how they got there.” “The last show of his that I saw was excellent too. He called a member of the audience to the stage and tried to saw her in two. But the lady was ‘Bev’ Bates, and the box was so large that Keller only sawed off the heels from ‘Bev’s’ shoes. Rose Heath got a billing at the same show to throw knives. ‘Rosie’ almost hit her partner, ‘Marg’ Gaudry, with one of those rubber knives. That act really went over like a lead balloon! King Keller is about the only one who can fool his audience.” “After the show we can take a VA’alker Taxi and end the day at Wunsch’s Lunch and Oyster Bar. It’s a very exclusive place. That is the only place where debutantes, ‘Peg’ Cheves and Rose Cotton, will play their fife and.drum. The All¬ female Orchestra, under the direction of Elaine Zimmerman, plays there nightly; and Shirley Sebert does the tango accom¬ panied by Janet VVilliams on her harmonica and Claire O’Neal on her accordian. ‘Doe’ Blassberg occasionally helps Janet with her tuba.” “Joanna has Elaine Rogalski to help her keep the records straight. It’s a real nice place to finish our day. After spend¬ ing such a wonderful day as this, Digger O’Graves, we should be all ready for the class reunion tomorrow.” “Yeh, Wili-the-Stuff, our big twenty-fifth class reunion will be tomorrow.” Williamina Frances Harvey Robert Edward Graves Ode and Class Song continued from page 1 .Adelaide Clifford. The Ivy Ode, written by Joanna Wunsch, and the Class Song written by Howard Wing, will be sung. After this the class will retire to the back of the high school where the ivy will be planted. Senior Plans attend North Adams State Teachers College, Maureen Martin and maybe Maynard Tirrell at Framingham, and Natalie Carpenter and Eleanor Smiley at Bridgewater. These students will be the lone representatives of the Class of ' 49 at the college of their choice: Adelaide Clifford at Our Lady of the Elms, Rose¬ mary Cotton at Sargent, Joan Sere- meth at Lasell Junior College, George Dyer at Springfield College, John Barry at St. Michael ' s College in Winooski, Vermont, Joanna Wunsch at Mount Holyoke College, Wynson Sharby at Regis, Maxwell Strange at Northeastern University, Kenneth Sal¬ isiewski at Ohio Wesleyan Unjversiiy, and Stephen Stamatopolus, at Harvard. Four boys will be attending prep schools: Gene Bond at Deerfield Acad¬ emy, Howard Burns at Worcester Academy, Leonard Harris at Mount Hermon, and Maurice Quinlan at Tilton, New Hampshire Prep School. Vesta Chickering is uncertain as to a • post-graduate course at G. H. S. Of those planning to enter the service, three are girls. Lillian Brown and Mildred Robbins want to join the Air Force, and Mari Daley favors the Wacs. With the boys, the Navy is the favorite. Those who plan to join the Navy are: Fred Bergeron, Richard Conway, William Duffney, Robert Gibson, Robert Graves, William Jar- dine, William Kavanaugh, Frank Kel¬ ley, Charles Kestyn, Justin Moore, Fred Pachalis, John Stevens, Joseph Valvo, and Garfield Porter. William Lambert and Francis Mazor will join the Army; Francis Lynch, the Air Force; and Donald Duress and Clifford Wright, the Coast Guard.

We were to have a day and evening together before the big twenty-fifth reun¬ ion tomorrow. 1 can’t imagine what’s detained him. He always used to be so punctual!” Dig me. Will. How I explain! Two desperate crooks, ’Straight-edge’ Curley and ‘Hard’ Hitt, tickled lue with one of ‘Chickie’ Chickering’s tickling chicken feathers ’til I r:iised my arms, and then they pinched my wallet. How it yelled! I was lucky t o have a Golden nickel, honoring Irene, in one of my leather foot coverings, which was manufactured by the Conway ‘Comfy’ Covering Company. My nickel got me up the elevator of this tower. I didn’t know ‘Up Old’ St. Peter and ‘‘Low Down’ Turner owned and operated this elevator. One takes it up; the other takes it down.” “I didn’t realize that. Digger. 1 walked up the inlaid Strange stairs. They’re pretty solid! Now that you’re here, what’s lined up for the day?” Let’s take that ‘Phil’ and ‘Harb’ Tower Tour on the Bonzek Bustling Bus Line.” Sure, bigger. Down we go!” Will-the-Stuff and Digger O’Graves arrive at the bup station. I’ll grab one of those ‘Daley Traveler’s Guides’ for the Metropolis of Greenfield!” “Say, that’s the Double D Newstand, Dobias and Dobias. You get the guide, and 1 11 get the tickets. See ya on the bus.” The two characters meet again on the bus. “Heigh ho! We’re off! This is a mighty comfortable riding bus. ' Dig the cushions! Say, they’re Kestyn’s Custom-Made Cushions. Did you know that ‘Betty’ Scully was his secre¬ tary? She’s a graduate of the Wright Secretarial School here in the city. Look, Digger, there’s Jardine’s Sardine Shop. Looks as if he’d been a success.” “Hey, look at that ‘ad’! ‘If you have a code in your node, use Morse Code Tablets.’ Get it? Morse code!” ... “I’ve heard that ‘Dot’ Sevene is kept busy making ditty dah ditt ‘hankies.’ She lives in one of those cute little ‘Half-Way Holmes’ houses. Lorraine Holmes and John Caloon are co¬ proprietors of Caloon’s Ballet Solo Shop down on ‘The Dick Herzig Highwav.’ ” , , • “We just passed Dr. Live Or Dyer. He must be on his way to treat one of ‘Bob‘ Pedigree’s dogs. There’s Holley s Hock Shop. Last week one of her best customers, ‘On Parole Phillips, tried to hock the corner fire plug. Fire Chief ‘How R. U.’ Burns really got hot, and he called in ‘bearless_ Fosmire’s detectives. ‘Jigger B.’ Cook and ‘Trigger Dick Phillips cleared up the case in short order.” “We’re stopping! It’s the Brown Crown Radio Network Broadcasting Company. Off we go inside to visit the studios. Hey, our new guide is none other than Fearless Fregeau. Hid you hear him just send away one of those Aaron errand boys ' with details about a new Duprey Dishwasher as a gift from the Barry Good Mournin’ Show? That program is sponsored by the Gay Morticians, ‘Moe moe’ Martin and ‘Balmy’ Jacobs.” _ , c -i “I hear that it’s their good business that keeps the omiley Tombs Company at work. Other than that, things really would be dead.” , e • i i taking us into one of the studios where there is a broad¬ cast going on. Look, the orchestra is ‘Howie’ Wing and his Band of Swing! Listen to that rhythm from Hush-hush Hertsch at the drums. Say, that’s Betsy Wing at the piano She has great talent. Have you ever heard her rendition ot Hume’s ‘Second Concerto from the Red Barn_ or He I ounds the Hammer While His Sister Holds the Nad’? “Yeh, that’s pretty good! I get a bang out of that song, but let’s go back to the bus. I ' d like to go and hear The his- perer,’ otherwise known as ‘Ted’ Chludzinski, call at the Hog Callers Convention.” .Again the two characters are aboard the bus. “It feels good to be sitting again. I guess the bus is low on gas. We’re stopping at the Hayde Gasoline Station, bay, that’s ‘Barb’ Antone, polishing the cars. I can see that she uses Pelc’s Talcum Sheen. That’s a bright one! _ “Now that we’re moving again, notice that there isn t any exhaust. There must be a Boutwell exterminator on this bus. A friend of mine, ‘Classy-Chassy Caldwell, had one installed in her car down at the Hill Garage. Scooter Smead did the installing.” - “I’m so glad that all of our classmates have made a success of themselves. It’s too bad that a few of them won t be able to attend our reunion tomorrow, but 1 guess that Hollywood and Boradway are more demanding of them. Did you know that M G M -Muka, Grotto, and Malloy—have started a new production entitled ‘Visitors at the Pole’? It,is the story of •Klondike’ Hawkes. It seems that Sneezy Hohengasser, ‘Lily’ Musiak, and ‘Snow-shoeing’ Schucker went to see ‘Klondike,’ and they convinced her that she should write her adventures in a book. ‘Ducky’ Clifford is,playing the leading role, and she is supported by Trotter Lirrell, Bamboo, Bassett, and ‘Cinema’ Christensen. It wdl be a top picture. “Garfield Porter’s musical, ‘Robbins Come Home, is a smash hit on Broadway. ‘Kid’ Kavanaugh and Sweetnote Sheehan are sensational in the leads. 1 his same show features the dancing team of Shea, Sharby, Seremeth, and Spaulding. They are a terrific dancing team with exceptional numbers. “ ‘Big Bob’ Moreau and ‘Chuckles’ Scott are on Broadway with a soft-shoe tap routine. Again I say it s too bad they won’t be with us tomorrow.” . , u “There’s Bonneville Stadium. Hey, that sign states that the Hog Callers Convention has been called off. Willie Gibas s prize hog has been taken ill. Nice stadium anyway! It was erected by the Campbell and Campbell Construction Com- pafny Mayor Robert Frank had the plans drawn up by head dlaSB JjJropljccu continui ' h architect lorio. The building is a tribute to the first Repub lican president since the Roosevelt term.” “I’m ready for some lunch, how about you?” “Always. This bus stops at Jackman’s Pick-up I .uncheonette. Here it is now.” .After leaving the bus ami entering the restaurant, we again rejoin our characters. “Our waitress is ‘Rush-the-order’ Gagnon. Let’s order one of the chef’s specials. I never thought that ‘Baker’Bond would be a chef!” “Marjorie Burns did a nice job on these wall decorations, didn’t she? She graduated from the Gebo Schciol of .Art. That’s ’Shaker’ Hawkins working on the fountain.” “Here’s our lunch. How nice it looks! 1 bet they buy their Cole Slaw from Virginia’s and ‘Margie’ Cronk’s Delicatessen Shop down the street. It’s right along side Diinnigan s Donut Shoppe.” “Look at that ‘ad’ on the register, ‘Will.’ ” ‘Girls, come to ‘Richie’s Beauty Salon And have your hair done By the Boy with the Greene hair! That’s pretty good!” “Digger, 1 haven’t seen ‘Juice’ Moore for a long time. 1 wonder what he’s doing?” “I heard he was doing twenty-five years at Elm Street Col¬ lege for hlechanical Knowledge, where ‘Statistic’ Stama- topolus is president and ‘Hobnob’ Hyman is filing cl,erk. They say ‘Squirrel Buzzy’ Pratt is in charge of the nuts.” “I.ook at that sign with John Nee’s signature and recom¬ mendation for Mazor’s Razors. Pretty sharp! Isn’t advertis¬ ing a wonderful thing, Digger?” “ft sure is. Will. Madalene Smith is doing a good job as the city advertising censor. She has Laura Noyes working as her assistant.” , “Now that you’ve finished your lunch, Digger, lets get on with the afternoon events. VVhat say that we go see ‘Franny’ Lynch’s Hell Drivers? They’re down at Randall’s Race Track. Marie Powers is going to be there as the specialty of the show this season.” “That ought to be good. Let’s go! It’s just a short way, W ill. So why don’t we leave our tour and walk?” “Sure. Look! there’s‘Betty’Shippey across the street! She must be on her way to see Norma Fluff ' , d hey are a big suc¬ cess with the Fluffy Fluff Shipping Service. Who said women couldn’t manage things?” , “Hey, look in this window! There’s John , ,arr, ‘Joey Valvo, and ‘Bobby’ Bukowski inside, and ‘Will’ Duft ' ney just en¬ tered. Oh, yeh, this is ‘Gibby’s’ and Albert’s Pool Room. Remember Gibson and Kujdzio?” “I know you want to go in, Digger, but we must be on our way. That sign over that door yonder says to visit the Jerominek-Podworski Placement Bureau. Household serv¬ ants, ‘Nat’ Carpenter and ‘Ken’ Salisiewski, certainly keep them busy.” , , “Thev are capable of helping anyone, though. 1 he last time I was there, Janet Mattis and ‘Betty’ Chesney were on the staff. ‘Betty’ told me that ‘Klean-the-kitchen Karas kept them busy, too.” W; “Isn’t it nice that so many ot our classmates are in business here in the citv, Digger? Here’s Reed’s Book Store. Ramon is another of our classmates. I purchased in there the other day a copy of ‘Lenny’ Harris’ latest book, ‘Touring with Prok’s Pros’. That book of ‘Lenny’s’ told of his trips and playing experiences with John Prokowich’s team. ‘Big Fred’ Bergeron and ‘Just-in-time’ Jurek were mentioned quite a few times as invaluable players.” D; “Will, there’s ‘Dutchy’ Jones out in the middle of the street directing the traffic. He’s been with the police force ever since ‘Ken’ Lyman and ‘Jumbo’ Quinlan bought his farm. After attending ‘Bill’ Lambert’s 4-I’s Conference, Lyman and Quinlan decided to get a farm for themselves and raise skin¬ less cows to eat on the hoof.” W; “Have you seen the new fountain here on the common, Digger? It was dedicated last week to Donald Duress for his twenty-five faithful years as president of the Last National Bank.’ The statue in the center of the pool was made by Marjorie Laliberte. She and ‘Fred’ Pachalis are both in the statue-making business. Perry’s Ferry takes the children around the base of the statue in the pool. ‘Joe’ Sexton is the life guard.” , ■ , , After a few hundred feet of silence and quick steps, the two characters are at the race track. D- “I’ve got the tickets. Will, and I bought them from none other than ‘Sell’em-all’ Stevens. __ I ' ll get some candy from one of those girls. Just a minute!” W: “Do you know who you got that candy from, Digger? Ihey are ‘Peg’ Donahue and Hellen Watrous. I did read about their concession at various track events. In fact, I read the article in ‘Dick’ Gardner’s ‘Sport Review.’ There are really some nice articles in it.” , ■ , D- “I read it when it came through the mail, but otherwise 1 pick up the news at ‘Clipper’ Akey’s Barber Shop. ‘Clipper employs ‘Liz’ Mayers to hold the younger customers hands so they won’t be afraid. ‘Clipper’ doesn’t know it; but ‘Bomber’ Kelley dresses daily as a seven-year-old and visits the shop. The ‘Bomber’ had better be careful, or Clipper might take after him with a Bristol Brush and give him the brush off.” , , , W- “Let’s sit here. Digger. We still have a minute or two before the show starts. We can watch Cowboy ‘Fran’ Clark and his horse do tricks. It’s nice to have some type of entertainment before the main event, don’t you think?” D: “Yeh, Clark’s horse is from the Tenney Training lyarms. It s good performer.” ‘Mikie Mastaler is one of Rayys employ¬ ees He tries to teach aviation. Horseflies, that is! ’ W: “Speaking of insects. Digger, I read in the paper last week that ‘Barb’ Steiner and Regina Greene were touring the East coast with their new species of the bee. Ihey call it the ‘May’ bee. The first notice of its existence was made at the home of ‘Christie’ McDonough. It seems that her gardner, ‘Art’ Wood, was fascinated by it, and he drew ‘Christie s at¬ tention to it when he started to sing to it. continued on tuppiement Girls’ Softball Team Has A Successful Season SlarlitiK with a team on which each iinliviclual player lofik over a new position, the Greenliehl girls prove l to have a very successful season.

Say no morel Getting back to what we weren’t talking about, we started our senior year by electing “Doug’’ Bonneville, president; George Oyer, vice-president; Rose¬ mary Cotton, secretary; and “Ken,” treasurer. S. P. What a football season we had that year. After losing to Pittsfield the team whizzed through the season and won eight straight. Kven though the championship went to Westfield, we can really say we had a champion team. C. That Westfield game was really something. S. P. I think a lot of the credit for such a season should go to the cheerleaders. By the way, weren’t you elected captain of the group? A. C. Yes, I was. You haven’t seen any of the other cheerleaders up here, have you? S. P. Not yet, but I wish they’d hurry up. A. C. That was a swell job that the senior play cast did in pre¬ senting “What A Life.” “Howie” Wing and Sheila Dunni- gan really put on convincing performances. S. P. And don’t forget “Buzzy” Pratt as Mr. Ferguson and “Bob” Hyman as Mr. Bradley. What characters! .A. C. Mr. Hubbard certainly did a fine job with the play, which was a complete success. It shows what a class can do if it really gets behind something. S. P. Speaking of getting things done, Gloria Martino, who was elected Editor of the “Exponent,” kept busy afternoons. A. C. Remember the time that we had getting a name for the yearbook? Considering who was editing it, it wasn’t loo bad a yearbook. S. P. We won’t talk about that. A. C. Do you recall election morning at the high school when John Akey jumped up and down and “Doug” Bonneville moaned in a corner? I don’t think “Doug” believes it yet. S. P. The basketball team climaxed a good season by going down to Boston to see the finals of the New England tournament. .And, by the way, didn’t the girls’ team finally lose some games? A. C. Yes, they lost two games but still had a very fine season. S. P. Imagine all of two losses! Why! they did almost as well as the baseball team. A. C. The State Convention of Pro Merito was; held that spring with you as presiding officer. You had quite a busy spring —playing baseball, going to Boston for Good Government Day, and attending the Model Congress at American International College. S. P. Yes, that was quite a class we had. Boy! how I wish I could re-live some of those days. Whoops, there goes the bell. I’ve got to get back to work. .A. C. You can’t just leave me all alone. What am I going to do? S. P. Let’s check the log and look up your record. Let’s see, Cotton, R. Cotton, (looks in log book). Oh! Oh! Some¬ body’s made a terrible mistake. You don’t belong up here yet. Come on, you’re going to take a quick trip back to earth. A. C. You mean to say I’ve got to go back? S. P. That’s right. Hurry. You’ll just make the last elevator! Rosemary Arlene Cotton Stephen Stamatopulos Nicknames Again This and That:- A44io yiafJu Woe is me! There always seems to be such an over abund.ant supply of nicknames around this honored build¬ ing, yet no one seems to know where they came from—at least certain peo¬ ple never tell me. Of course, there’s “Zip” Caldwell, to name one. It’s certainly pretty obvious where he got his nickname. Or is it! Actually it’s inherited from his father. But the name of his car. Wow! There’s not another name like it for miles around—Not even in Turners Falls.—“Shizmoecettes.” Is¬ n’t that a mouthful? We’ve heard that “the Shizmoecettes” isn’t long for this world. How about it, Zip? Then there’s a couple of P.Cj.’s who have rather crazy names. We can’t figure out why they call Art Waite “Sleeper.” His eyes are the brightest we’ve seen for a long time. What a sales talk! Want any? The other guy is “Pounder” Black. That one puzzles us. Come on Don, let us in on the secret? Then we have Jimmy “Soupy Campbell.
