Greenfield High School - Evergreen / Exponent Yearbook (Greenfield, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1955 volume:

PVBUC UBKAEJf s n .tr een I e d Sc l OO ( Cl 55 of 1 S5 - Grp . ' ti ' ■ ' , Gr e- ie cL |4- F pON - The doors of these fleeting three years are slowly closing, leaving for us a scene of yesterday. As we leave Greenfield High School, we leave the setting of three happy years together that have bound us by a silver chain of endless memories, close friendships, laughter, gaiety, and mutual difficulties. To the fellow members of the class of 1955 may we say “so long,” and not good-bye. May future reunions see us together as of old. In Memoriam... The passing of Mrs. Nichols has brought to Greenfield High School a heart-felt loss which can never be replaced. Her willingness to help others and her friendliness toward everyone will never be forgotten. It is with thoughts of her that we dedicate our yearbook.

They are but come so close We need not grope with hands. Nor look to see, nor try To catch the sound of feet. They have put off their shoes Softly to walk by day Within our thoughts, to tread At night our dream-led paths Of sleep. They are not dead who live In hearts they leave behind. In those whom they have blessed They live a life again. And shall live through the years Eternal life, and grow Each day more beautiful As time declares their good.

L. Conadon Dramatic Comedy Proves Success For GHS Seniors Greenfield High School sen¬ iors presented their annual class play last evening in the auditori¬ um before a large and enthusi¬ astic audience. The presentation of “Old Doc”, a three-act come¬ dy that also combines dramatic incidents, will be repeated to¬ night at 8. Rosemarie Yetter has the lead¬ ing role of Margaret, a nurse to old Doc, enacted by David Smith. She is in love with Bob, played by Norbert Crothers, the son of old Doc, but refuses to marry him because he wants to practice medicine in the city instead of developing a rural practice. Bet¬ ty Jurgelionis plays the part of Lois, Rosemarie’s friend and a flirt. Old Doc is a loving country physician, heartbroken because his son deires a practice in the city. Francis Conway plays the part of Dr. Brand, the city doc¬ tor who is influencing him to join him in Boston, while another dis¬ traction is Helen, a spoiled, but wealthy girl portrayed by Kath¬ erine Johnston. Beverly Parrott is “Ma” Brown who acts as somewhat of a medi¬ ator during the clash of person¬ alities. She is well liked by two women of the community, Mrs. Cronin and Mrs. Rossi. Elizabeth Ambo has the part of Mrs. Cron¬ in and Regina Panek is Mrs. Rossi, both of whom have family problems that are worked out with the kind assistance of old Doc and Ma Brown. Nancy Pratt played the part of Mrs. Mellon, a patient of old Doc, while Marie Petrin and Raymond Morrissey are a co j le of love-struck teen-agers trying to help old Doc. Frances Roscoe has the role of Mary, another teen-ager who eloped while her mother was feigning a hear at¬ tack. Jimmy O’Sullivan is Lawyer Hepple in the play and Pa Brown is enacted by David Pierson, who gets in the way during his efforts to help straighten matters out. The play follows several weeks of rehearsing under the direction of Miss Marion L. Congdon, dra¬ matic coach at GHS.

The varsity field hockey team started their season in a dismal fashion with a 5-0 loss to Keene. This jinx seemed to stay with the Greenies, for when they jour¬ neyed to Keene again, they lost 4-0. Things improved for the Greenies with the Gardner game. Greenfield held that strong team to a scoreless tie. Backs “Sis” Terounzo, “Charlie” Bryant, “Barb” Lynde, Pat Hoosick, and Captain “Pete” Peters played a strong defensive game. On Greenfield’s return game at Gardner, the former was defeated 1-0. The Greenies started to roll against Northampton when they tied the strong “Hamp” team 2-2 with “Sis” Terounzo and Joyce Alex scoring the two goals. Wings “Pickles” MacNeil, and “Clem” Clark sparkled at defense. The Greenies finished their season in a blaze of glory by defeating Northampton 3-1. Playing a dazzling game were Shirley Scott, and Cathie Wade. “Scottie” scored the first 2 goals with “Cathie” scoring the last one. Although the team didn’t finish high in the win column, the girls showed fine sportsmanship. The team was managed by Dot Gibowicz, and coached by Miss Ann Burgess. !

Our High School years are the culmination of friendships begun in the early grade schools and also the beginning of new friend¬ ships and acquaintances. Many of us may never again be surrounded by the same people for such a long period of time. Perhaps it might be interesting to trace the development of our class as the freshly scrubbed, doubtful kindergartners of 1942 to the determined graduates of 1955. Just who were some of the leaders and followers in the grammar schools? What were some of the events in our early scholarly careers that were to influence us after we left the ringing halls of Four Corners, Abercrombie, Conway Street, Holy Trinity, North Parish, Federal Street, Newton Street, Pierce Street, Green River, School Street, and Junior High? All persons, events, and places are true, and any resemblance to 1955 Greenfield High School Seniors is purely intentional. I don’t think our class will forget the many incidents of Pierce Street School. Remember our old kindergarten class? When I think of this year, I remember that Billy Martin used to walk Betty Dallas to class every morning. Oh, speaking of Billy Martin, I can’t forget the day he threw all the children’s blocks out the window. Nothing much of consequence happened until the third grade, except that John Clapp had started growing!!! In the third grade there was an epidemic of scarlet fever. Many members of our class had the disease and some of the children were in the hospital. Bobby Atwood was one of these unfortunate people, but I don’t think he minded. His confinement gave him more time to write notes to Cathie Wade. By the time we reached fourth grade, Jo Wolfram, Diane Osgood, and Bev Dahow- ski had learned not to talk back to Miss Boyd, our beloved principal. In this grade Nancy Falcon made an unforgettable speech. That day our teacher asked us to talk about our parents. Nancy gave a detailed talk on how her father had lost his false teeth. The years at Pierce Street were fun, but I recall some years at Green River which were equally as much fun. As I recall that first year at Green River, I remember how all the girls argued over who would play with the stove and who would play with the sink. Many of the boys also liked to play with the kitchen toys instead of with the cars and trucks. In the first grade it was great fun when our teacher would group us around the piano and teach us songs. I don’t think any of us will ever forget the song “A Little Ducky Duddle.” This year was also the first year that we had to read aloud in front of the class. Oh! how scared we were! The next few years were rather eventful. The second grade was the year when Eddie Alex brought his older brother to school for a few days and Marie Petrin, Pat Carter, and Nancy Turner just hated to see him go. In the third grade the entire class took a field trip to a maple sugar factory in Vermont. I can also remem¬ ber how each class in the school would beg their parents to go to the P.T.A. meet¬ ings so that their class would be able to have the cupcakes and the goldfish in their room. I remember that Libby Ambo had to ask the policeman for permission to go to Rosey Dziekonski’s house after school. When he refused her, which he often did, Libby went home feeling sad and dejected. Michael Chiapputti was the class Adonis and the girls thought he was wonderful. I’ll never forget the time during World War II when Louis Benedetti, Eddie Alex, and a few other boys told all the girls that the Germans were hiding in a great big hole behind the GTD and all the girls believed the story. A number of students in the senior class spent their early educational days and careers within the ivy-covered walls of Federal Street School. There was never a dull moment. I will never forget the May Queen Election and the candidates who were honored by the greatest campaign ever held. Patty Macintosh was chosen as our May Queen and Karen Flo and Marie Petrin as Maids of Honor. David Pierson did an excellent job as Court Jester in this celebration. We performed a beautiful May Pole dance and Barbara Lynde and Bunny Putnam were among the talented performers. In the fourth grade we made a replica of the fort at Old Deerfield. Ellen Renfrew and Rosemarie Yetter donated a great deal of their time and talent to this project and even made the newspapers. In the fifth grade we staged the play “Bell.” It was Rosemarie Yetter’s plan to present this play, and she became producer, director, and of course, the leading lady. Joan Scott played the part of a cute little cheerleader. How we worked on this play! Duane Borwn and Perry Maniatty were also a part in the production of this play. Now I present an original poem on the school days at Four Corners School: Every day at Four Corners was happy and bright, With laughing and singing and no homework at night. Joyce Behilo was May Queen In our last year, Don Clements made the class laugh All through the year. Larry Claine, so timid and shy. Kissed the girls and made them cry. Oh! what fun we had that day Watching Patty Hoosick run away. Richy Piontek, the barefoot boy. Wasn’t exactly our pride and joy. Every teacher he kept on the run. Chasing them with his wa ter gun. Connie Fitzgerald, in our kindergarten year. Had a love affair with every boy near. And so Pll close my little tale. Saying I was in this class too. And promising to one and all. This tale is factual and true. The years at Newton Street School were fun. Kindergarten was the place where everyone became acquainted. While Johnny Siano was playing in the sandbox, he met Billy Campbell. At a table while June Trela was stringing beads, she met Jackie Brown, who was doing the same. Buzzy Newton was playing with cars in the middle of the floor and Donny Green, Margie Hawkins, Joan Huxtable, and Muriel Steiner were playing house in another section of the room. Billy Clark, Beverly Stevens, Joe Barrisse, Billy Anderson and Jean Clark were busy building with blocks. Will we ever forget the naps we had to take, or our little rhythm band? The next few years were busy ones. We learned to read and write with the help of a ruler rapped across our knuckles. We also learned the multiplication table and how to tell time. Remember when Bev Parody was spanked in front of the whole class in third grade?! The fourth grade recalls memories of the Maypole dance and the Fashion Show. The high point of the Fashion Show was when Phyllis Wes- olowski wheeled a bicycle across the stage. The fifth grade now also saw the faces of Russ Bontempi, Bob Hoad’ley, and Stan Schryba. Was there ever a winter like the one when Skreeb and Johnny chased the girls home every day by throwing snowballs at them? The sixth grade arrived and we were finally upperclassmen. This year saw the production of the “Five Little Peppers and How They Grew,” starring Beverly Stevens, Buzzy Newton, Joan Huxtable, John Siano, Barbara Rucci, Billy Anderson, Jackie Brown, and Billy Campbell, with Bev Parody as prompter. Before the play was produced, the cast and the teachers were about ready to collapse. The sixth graders also supervised the sale of milk and graham crackers. This was also the year when Bob Hoadley and John Siano were terribly worried about the approaching football game between Newton School and Eaglebrook School. The Eaglebrook team consisted of eighth graders, cleats, and fancy equpiment. Newton School’s team consisted of sixth graders, sneakers, and a football. However, just before the scheduled game, nearly the whole Eaglebrook team caught the measles and the problem was solved. Our days at Newton School ended with a field day trip to Springfield and a field day at school at which everyone rode Donny Green’s poines and watched Shirley Scott become the star of a girls’ softball team in a game against Bement School. Remember the good old days at Abercrombie School in Bingville? Our class was small but composed of many interesting students. There was Fran Conway, the artist in our class. He was also preoccupied sketching cartoons. Sometimes he would autograph his “Bugs Bunny” masterpieces and give them to us. Nancy Pratt was always the first one to get her homework done. This being done, she would plead with the teacher to have an, early recess period. Alice Shippey was always greatly interested in the book “The Boy Captive of Old Deerfield” . . . even though she had heard the story for three consecutive years. Phil Norwood was a good actor. His outstanding pefformance was presented at our Christmas play when he played the lead as Santa’s little helper. Ruth Prest liked to sing a good deal. When we had music sessions, her voice could always be heard above the rest of the class. Her favorite song was “Little Ducky Duddle.” Richie Baker was the best square dancer. He knew by heart all the square dance records which we had available. Charli( Bryant was a little quieter than anyone else in our class. That probably was due to the fact that she was new to the school. She had come to Greenfield from Farley. Joyce Alex was also considered quiet, but she never missed anything that was going on. Recess was her favorite subject. Our days at Abercrombie were indeed fun. School Street School was a center of confusion not so many years ago. First, of course, was our fifth grade teacher who kept a rubber hose just in case. Who could blame her with Basil Basil in the class. Then there was the spelling bees of which everyone was so fond. For Parents’ Day, a spelling bee was presented and Nancy Falcon’s little brother crawled through everyone’s legs. Many words were misspelled that day! Square dancing now became popular and all free time was thus devoted. Nancy Turner and Toppy Bonzek were a familiar twosome. Speaking of Nancy and Toppy brings Cathie Wade into the picture. Those were the days of long, straight hair. Cathie and Nancy were always fighting over Toppy and trying to outdo each other. Then came the day Nancy came to school with her hair curled. Cathie was fit to be tied at this and said some unpleasant things. However, the next day Cathie appeared with curly hair. Sixth grade led to more complications. A major catastrophe occurred at this time. Betty Dallas appeared with a short hairdo, the first of its kind in our class. Every¬ one thought that she was ruined for life. Lipstick also came into the picture now with Rosey Dziekonski, Elizabeth Ambo, and Beverly Parrott, to mention a few, which led to more trouble. Our two years at School Street were short but eventful. Our days at Conway Street School seem almost like yesterday. Sarah Birt could start an argument and always be the winner. I wonder if Dave French and Ken Griswold can remember giving riding lessons to a wobbly six-year old during recess!! Ann Vanasse seemed to have a new hair-do every morning. It must be nice to have a talented mother. Would you ever see Dottie Gibbs without Jo-Ann Godlesky or Pat Georgalis when Sally Mann wasn’t around? It looks as though they are still close friends. Phil Norwood could certainly get privileges; such as washing boards when he had a spelling test. Tom Heinig was forever marching in class and several times after school! Remember Cliff Tetreault put on a skit with Mary Ann Konikoski as his nurse? A certain teacher didn’t ap preciate the gruesome ending! Carol Peters and Richard Pachalis never said too much, but their report cards were always short—of course, no special reports were given then. And now to Holy Trinity School. In September, 1943, twenty-four members of our Senior Class entered first grade at Holy Trinity School. As I look back on that memorable first day of school, I can see timid Pat Varilly shedding a barrel of tears after her mother went home. In the second grade Sheila McDonald, a talented tap dancer, entered Holy Trinity. This was also the year that Betty Jurgelionis fell asleep during a reading lessen. Third grade brought the arrival of Zip Loignon, that cute little girl with the long pigtails and the checkered dress. Other newcomers were bashful Elaine Lanoue, and Frannie Roscoe, the girl with the long curls of auburn hue and the blue knitted coat. This was the year when nearly every girl in the class had a birthday party. (Practicing for Senior Parties, hmm?) In the fourth grade, Dick Michaud and Mary Ann Konikoski also appeared on the scene. Fourth grade was also made unforgettable by the famous hair pulling contest between Jeannette Paul and Zip Loignon. As I remember. Zip had made a sly remark about Jeannette’s beautiful green raincoat. The fifth grade was marked by the formation of “The Club” with Kathy Johnston as president. The aim of this club was to have as many secrets from the rest of the class as possible. Honorable members included Dottie Ament, Connie Fitzgerald, Betty Jurgelionis, Anne Kelley, and Frannie Roscoe. That year Boddie Pervere and Pat Morrissey had many daring escapades which provided much amusement for the class. I clearly remember the day that five inkwells were fished out of a Beacon Street sewer. Everyone also remembers the time that someone put alka-seltzer in Frannie Roscoe’s inkwell. In the sixth grade, there was a yo-yo craze. Chuck Barrett was one of the champions in this field. Joan Kelly and Joan Gauthier were the young ladies who gave a demon¬ stration on how to bounce a yo-yo on the classroom floor when the teacher’s back was turned. This was also the year of our first dance. Our most popular step was the waltz. It was the only step most of us knew. In spite of that, we had a wonderful time. Paula O’Connor wore a lavender dress, and she was the “bell of the ball.” In the seventh grade, our talents shone forth in the school’s annual variety show, “Beacon Lights.” Ray Horta was a solo vocalist in a rendition of the current hit, “The Thing.” Jeannette Paul, Sheila McDonald, Mary MacNeil, and Kay Sheehan starred in dance specialties, a nd Jean Lemay, Chris Gagnon, and Frannie Lapseritis proved to be very lively chorus girls. Eighth grade brings back tender memories of the “waffle incident.” One day we had to attend church, and a certain few of us were about two-and-a-half hours late for school. When we were asked to explain our tardiness, spokesman for the group, Anne Kelley, sobbing into her little white handkerchief, replied, “We didn’t mean to be late, but we stopped to eat, and the waffles took a long time to cook.” Of course, I can’t talk about eighth grade without mentioning the school picnic when the eighth grade defeated the seventh grade in a terrific game of baseball. On our team were such stars as Jim Falvey, Eddie Alex, Jimmy Jardine, John Martino, Tom Organ, and Jim O’Sullivan, to name a few. This was also the year of our graduation. At the banquet, Frannie Roscoe, Kathy Johnston, Anne Kelley, and Betty Jurgelionis had their first experience at public speaking. They all did a great job too!! I also seem to recall a wonderful pajama party at Anne Kelley’s house. That was the night that Kathy Johnston stopped a lovely game of hide-and-seek by breaking her arm. These incidents are typical of our activtities in grammar school, and I’m sure that we shall never forget the wonderful times we had at Holy Trinity School. Lastly, we come to our Junior High School days. Betty Dallas had just as much trouble trying to be quiet for Mr. Johnson as she has now for Mr. Hubbard. Didn’t you think Mr. Congdon’s desk looked nice decked with dandelions? I wonder if Ellen Renfrew ever got over her desire to play with a yo-yo during Miss Congdon’s art class? Somehow as seventh graders Miss Swain’s class always held special inter¬ est for us. Finally we trudged up the hill and found ourselves in the eighth grade. One intro¬ duction for most of us was Miss Curtin’s French class. Many times tears were shed in that memorable class, especially the day Pat Carter’s pearl beads broke in French Class. Will the students of French ever forget Miss Curtin’s dreaded windows and blackboards? That year, too. Mis Gross substituted for Miss Manning for nearly all of one school year. Eighth grade was one last year for Cliff Tetreault, John Clapp, Stan Schryba, Phil Norwood, and Russ Bontempi to play blocks at school. The ninth grade started with new friends and acquaintances for many of us. Holy Trinity graduates finally joined our crowd and we were glad to have them. This was the year that Joann Loignon acquired her better known name of “Zip.” I under¬ stand it originated from Stan Schryba when “Zip’s” zipper broke on her jacket. Politically Jackie Brown, John Siano, and Betty Jurgelionis were still plugging away in Student Council. Dick Jacobs shot off a fire cracker in General Science one morn¬ ing. It was a class of twenty boys and five girls. In the investigation, which was led by Mr. Osgood, no one knew who did it. But, we do now!! Many a time a window had to be opened for Pervere, Simpson, and Hoadley in their English Class. I wonder why? Miss Curtin was still trying to find something in our French book that Patty Macintosh could say. At our annual ninth grade party. Zip Loignon was crowned queen while Stan Schryba was the King. Rosie Yetter sang for us that night along with Dottie Gibbs and Joann Godlesky. Ann Dunbar was seen walking through the receiving line shoeless because her first pair of high heels hurt her feet. Robert Simpson did all the announcing at our talent shows and dances. I haven’t heard “Zosia” since I reached Senior High School. We can all close the pages on our Junior High days with memories of bad and good events and all the fun which we shared with our friends. Thus comes to an end the picture of the development of the Senior Class of 1955 from kindergarten through Junior High School. The students are now ready to enter the ivy-covered walls of Greenfield High. The best of luck to them. AUTHORS Pierce Street Betty Dallas Federal Street Rosemarie.

The Last Will and Testament of The Class of 1955. Class Prophecy Time: 1965 Place: METROPOLIS OF BINGVILLE YOU ARE THERE! F. . . . I am standing in front of the former McGahan’s Store, now Baker’s Bar B-Q, waiting for a cab from the Alex Taxi-Cab Co., when all of a sudden a flashy Cadillac appears. (A screeching of brakes). N. ... Hi Fran! I haven’t seen you since Professor Tom Heinig invented the fire¬ proof cigarette. F. . . . Well hello, Fling! N. . . . Would you like a lift to the Bingville Airport, Fran? I’m on my way to Greenfield to see the former “Toots” Scott. She just had quintuplets to add to her family of ten. F. . . . That’s a coincidence. I’m on my way to see Lewis Phillips. He was bending over to pick up a cigarette butt, when he was run down by a fire truck driven by Hose Nose Page. It nearly threw Iggy Pachalis off of the hook and ladder. Not to mention that Miss Lanthier was quite disturbed because the noise woke up her gold¬ fish. (The car starts off.) I haven’t seen any of the gang since Pat Morrissey and I opened our Art Studio, other than my models. Bubbles Jurgelionis, Hubba-Hubba Hoosick, Boo-Boo Lynde, Hugable Huxtable and of course our paint tube squeezer, Bev Parody. Say, what’s your racket? N. . . . I’m designing Bikini Wallet-Size Bathing Suits out of French Poodle hides. My husband. Monsieur du Gateau, buys the hides from Tom Organ’s Rabbit and Poodle Farm. Occasionally Maharajah Michaud blows in from India with his friends of Vivacious Vanasse, Wiggles Wallitis, and Shapely Shippey. F. . . . Say, what does the sign on that truck say? N. . . . “Falvey and Akey Plumbing Company.” I understand Cathy Wade is their chief plunger. By the way, I didn’t introduce you to my chauffeur, Pericles Maniatty. F. . . . We’re going by Bontempi’s Teddy Bear Store. Is it true that he got his first inspiration in front of a mirror? N. . . . Say, did you watch the fight last night? Killer Ken Tirrell KO’ed Terrible Tiny Smith in a 31 2 minute bout. It was refereed by the well known Bruiser Bates! Pericles, please turn on the radio. (Pause) F. . . . “This is the Thompson Network News Service on the air. News while it is news. BOSTON—Today, Massachusetts’ Governor, John Siona, revealed his plan to build another $3,000,000 Public Pizza House on route 5 10 on Deerfield Street next to the home of Greenfield’s Mayor, James O’Sullivan. KOREA—Today, General Chicken Charles Desrosier said . . . “Retreat!” BINGVILLE—Today, Police Com¬ missioner, Basil Basil, promised to protect the property of Bingville’s Mayor, Phil Norwood. Mayor Norwood has received threatening letters from several angry tax¬ payers after his announcement that he planned to construct three more bridges lead¬ ing to Montague City. . . . This is Stan Schryba saying, “Glad we could get together.” Say, have you heard from Henry Leh, lately? N. . . . Listen to this: Henry, more Hefenreffer! F. . . . What’s Bert Crothers doing now? N. . . . Oh, he’s married and has lots of little ramblers. F. . . . Well for Pete’s sake! Here we are at the airport. Isn’t that Patrolman Bill Koch, the famous upholder of law and order? He’s the officer who captured the Machine Gun Kelly Gang. You know, the ones who robbed Koziski’s Haberdashery, MacNeil’s Pickle Factory, and Renfrew’s Roach Exterminating Company. N. . . . Oh yes, seems as though I read about that in the “Daily Dirt,” edited by Fighting Fitzy Fitzgerald. It seems as though the gang was made up of Tique, Dave and Joan Kelly. F. . . . Speaking of Editors, Jim Jardin is making a good living as Copy Boy for the MAD Comics Publishing Co. I guess Lois Dwyer portrays the part of Melvin Mole. N. . . . Pericles, will you please carry our bags into the plane terminal? (Car door slams). F. . . . I have a table reserved at Greenfield’s Copa-Cabana, owned and operated by Elsa. The Bouncers are Daring Donald Clements and Judo John Clark. They have a real cool floor show, too. Bouncing Rosey, tickling the ivories; Slush Pump Morris and his Dirty Five are going to be playing, along with Joe Elastic and his Rubber Band. Of course there will be Huck Blake at the harp. Hose Barrise at the mouse accordion, and Chuck Barrett at the ear drums. N. . . . Speaking of floor shows, I understand “Queeny” Dallas has a pretty good show. Did you know she could sing, too? Her chorus line of Jiggling Jeanne Clark, Temptible Turner, and Pretty Paula, are really terrific. Are Twinkle Toes Tetreault and Fleet Foot French still dancing? F. . . . I understand they’re entertaining at Barb Schotte’s Rest Home, and occasion¬ ally doing shows at Boguslawski’s Beanery. One of these days I hope to see them work their way up to Pat Chapin’s Chop House. N; . . . I’ll get the plane tickets from Mr. Manix, the Ticket Agent. (Clicking of high heals) Pardon me, James. F. . . . Yes . . . N. . . . Could I have two square trip tickets from Bingville to Greenfield? F. . . . Yes, indeedy! N. . . . Thank you. (Clicking of high heels) F. ... Is your name Mrs. du Gateau? N.Yes, it is. F. . . . James Brant, Western Union! N. . . . Why, I didn’t order any Cowboy’s underwear! . . . Oh, they must be for my stable manager. Shoveling Suchanek. F. . . . This is a telegram. N. . . . Oh! Thank you. (Crackling of paper). Dear Flingie; Having a wonderful time at Pervere Beach. Your bathing suits are very attracting. A French Poodle, named Shaggy Spencer, has been following me for several days. Am staying at the Joseph Stafford Hotel, overlooking Horta’s Hen Yard. I have the cutest, most daahling milkman, Curly Lindell. Lovingly yours. Lavishing Loignon. F. . . . Attention; Flight seven leaving at gate nine for Peters’ Beach, Anastasia, Kook . . Amonga, and Greenfield in five minutes. Have your bags with you. N. . . . There goes Ernie Lambert and his wife. F. Minutes later, w e are air-borne. Looking around, Nancy says: N. . . . There’s Max Sumner, the man who made a million by selling alligator shoes. He lost his fortune, because during the summer alligators like to run around barefoot. F. . . . Attention: This is the co-pilot, Donald Mann, speaking. Will Mr. Unkas Martino please keep his child from running along the wing of the plane? It is making the pilot, Allan Keyes, nervous. Thank you. N. . . . Greetings passengers! My name is Sara Birt. I am your Stewardess. If there is anything at all I can do for you, just whistle. May I introduce you to our radioman. Ditty Da Dit Hobson, On my right, the navigator. Noodles Newcomb; and on my left, the busy little Airplane Rubber Band Winder, Cadet Robert Atwood. F. . . . Attention: We are coming in for a landing at LaChance Field. Don’t let the name worry you, it’s not really such a big chance. There have only been thirteen landing accidents, this week. . . . Fasten your safety belts. Will Miss Christine Gagnon please put out her cigarette? Thank you. (Pause.) After a thirteen point landing, we watched the Red Cross Meat Wagon, driven by Rapid Robert Hoadley, pick up the fragments. N. . . . There’s John Clapp, the male nurse; and Ann Dunbar, the female doctor. Look at the size of the needle she’s using. Oh, that’s Alan Tucker! And there’s Dick Jacobs, raking up the debris. Diane Osgood and Sally Mann are trying to pick up the man they dropped off of the stretcher. F. . . . Let’s take our luggage over through the Customs Office. Say, I understand Ken Griswold and Bruce Fellows are T-Men, now. N. . . . Yes, they’re working for the Lipton Company. F. . . . After going through the Customs Office Inspection, we are on our way to lunch at the Stevens Steak House. N. . . . Gee, Fran, it’s too bad they found that Bingville Currency in your luggage. It wouldn’t have been noticed if tbe five dollar certificates hadn’t had the picture of Billy White on them! F. . . . That’s OK! At least they didn’t find the cut diamonds from the Dahowski and Dziekonski Diamond Mines. N. . . . Speaking of diamonds, has anyone seen Pauline Peters lately? (Pause.) By the looks of all these billboards, there must be a circus coming to town. I wonder if it’s the Bora Brown Circus? F. . . . One of the main attractions in the side show is Dumbo Dayle Allen, “The Fat Lady,” and Minc ing Murley, “The Thin Man.” N. . . . Everyone’s raving about Talbot’s Tiger Act. F. . . . I understand Panek’s Peanut Co. is doing quite a business with Escott’s Elephant Caravan. N. . . . Speaking of wild animal acts. I’ve been reading articles in McIntosh’s Movie Magazine about a new film being made by MGM. It’s called BRING UM BACK EXHAUSTED, with Fearless Frank Bonk. F. . . . What does MGM stand for? N. . . . Mesic, Griswold, and Mayhew. Some of the other stars in the production are, the heroine, played by Passionate Putnam; and playing opposite her is the Hollywood Crooner, Warbling Wallner. (Gun shot, woman screams, hoof beats) F. . . . There goes Herron’s Hearse. You have to admire a man like him. He has straightened out a lot of people. N. . . . I’m just dying to meet him. F. . . . Quite a few of the old gang became People Planters. There’s the Croutworst Corpse Cooler Co., Steiners’ Stiffs, Coutu’s Crematory, and The Varilly Vampire Co. N. . . . I can’t take too much more of this talk. Let’s go into the Steak House and eat, now. Before dinner, let’s have some Winney Wine, or a Conway Cocktail, that is, one shot of gasoline and a dash of turpentine, topped with a panther’s eyeball. F. . . . The menu reads: First Course, Campbell’s Human Soup; today’s special is Benedetti’s Spaghetti, Martell’s Moose Juice, Newton Noodles with Caterpillar Sauce, and Lively, Leaping Lobsters from Lanoue’s Lobster House. N. . . . Dessert features.

Drinks consist of Affhauser Beer and Allard Ale. Suggestion: It’s always good to finish the meal with Pat Carter’s Lumpy Liver Pills. Let’s leave the head waitress, Frannie Lapseritis, a couple of shillings. N. . . . Well, go ahead! F. . . . Haven’t you got any money with you? N. . . . I’m afraid not. All my money is in The Falcon-Claine Bank Coin Collectors Institute. F. . . . Maybe if we go into the kitchen and talk to the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Caressible Kathy Johnston, she’ll give us some credit. (Moments later). N. . . . Let’s go to the Richardson Rat Race. F. . . . Wait till I take care of this dish towel and then we’ll discuss our plans for the afternoon. I had planned on going to The Bedaw Bowling Alley. That’s where Harry Oates and Tom Kurtyka set pins. And speaking of setting pins, how’s She-She these days? N. . . . I’d rather visit my old friends Zeke Wilder and Jen Lemay at the Bryant Penitentiary. F. . . . Let’s compromise and take a stroll down Walker Blvd., or a ride on Behilo’s Bus Line. N. . . . There’s Billy Anderson the publisher of the “Daily Dirt.” F. . . . Extra, extra, read all about it! N. . . . Let’s see what the paper has to say. F. . . . Bill Frederick, well known mail man, distinguished himself today, by biting a dog! N. . . . Weather report by the Ambo-Ament Weather Bureau on top of Poet Seat, reports snow, rain, and thunderstorms, mixed with sunshine. Warmer, no change in temperature. F. . . . A boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald York. Upon first seeing the child, Mrs. York exclaimed, “Oh Ronny, call the Doctor, they’ve left the stork instead.” N. . . . The Roscoe Research Laboratory reports that 50% of all married people are women. Will Jo Wolfram be one of the chosen 50% ? F. ... In the Kennedy Report, Professor Gibowicz says that female grasshoppers are less romantic than water buffalos. Today, after a ten-year man hunt in 48 states, the New York Police, under Chief Ray Smith, captured Dangerous Dana Keyes who was wanted for failure to pay his 1955 Class Dues. N. . . . Here’s a hot item. Dave Pierson finished his P.G. course and plans to attend Jeanette Paul’s School for Traveling Salesmen. F. . . . Enough of this, let us continue our journey. There goes Jarvis, the TV re¬ pair man. N. . . . How long has El len Kinsman been driving truck for him? F. .. . Ever since the Georgalis-Godlesky Girdle Company went bankrupt. N. ... By the way, how’s The Hawkins Meat Packing Company doing these days? E. . . . It’s giving plenty of competition to Hallett’s Halibut and Oyster Plantation. I see by my Wesloski Watch that it’s nearly 5:30, and oh my goodness, we must be hurrying home, it’s almost time for Howdy Doody. Would you like to take the Scott Subway or the famous McDonald Railroad? N. . . . What’s famous about that railroad? E. . . . Its method of locomotion is so unusual. N. . . . How’s that? F. . . . There’s no floor in the cattle car. N. . . . Well, I have two tickets for the Green River Ferry; navigated by the Boat Captain, Rooty-Toot Prest, and her mate, Joan Gauthier. The bell system is com¬ manded by Joyce LaBelle, and of course, there’s Fog Horn Flavin, too. F. ... As the ferry leaves the docks, we come to the realization that another day has passed and we cannot help but compare the passing of that short day to the passing of our High School years. N. ... Of course we realize that very little if any of this prophecy will ever come true, but if anyone in the Class of 1955 can ever afford a chauffeur, please remember Pericles Maniatty! Class History STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE In the spring of 1952, a group of ninth graders, the potential Class of 1955, entered Greenfield High School to become acquainted with the building. Each student passed through the routine of his daily schedule. One lad was so enthusiastic and delighted with his first encounter with the Senior High that he managed to receive his first pink slip for detention before he had officially been enrolled as a sophomore. In the fall of ’52, the class moved to their new way of life. Students entered many careers in the field of business, in the home, and, believe it or not, even further school¬ ing. It was a brand new and thrilling experience to become “career-minded.” Of course, the first thing that was done soon after the students’ arrival was to organize themselves politically. The class had always had its leaders, and therefore, it was not thrown into a political upheaval. John Siano became the President of this new and struggling group, while the rest of the slate of officers was Basil Basil as Vice President; Jackie Brown as Secretary; and Barbara Rucci as Treasurer. Also at this period of time, the newly molded Sophomores found many outside activities which gave them their first feeling of night life. To begin with members of the ’55 class were incorporated into the Student Council. Betty Jurgelionis, John Siano, Jackie Brown, Barbara Rucci, and Bill Martin represented their group on the Council. Besides the working end of social activities, this group had some of its members join the band. A few such band members were Sally Mann, Pat Georgalis, and Dottie Gibowicz. Many of the males of the Sophomore Class became very much interested in the field of sports. Johnnie Siano played varsity football his first year at the school. The Junior Basketball team swarmed with sophomore players such as “Beaver” Norwood, Dick Jacobs, “Boodie” Pervere, Richie Baker, Dave French, John Clapp and John Siano. Carol Peters, a Sophomore at that time, was accepted on the girls’ varsity basketball team. Last but not least this new group of students tried their new won independence with a Valentine Dance. With the cooperation of the Senior Class, the dance was held in the high school gymnasium, which was decorated in the traditional red and white. With much prodding from the class officers, many boys, who were discussing basket¬ ball on the sidelines, were finally aroused to ask the girls to dance. At least their struggle for independence showed through. They were learning to stand evenly on their own feet. MANIFEST DESTINY Soon the Sophomore year came to a close and most members of the class found themselves promoted to the harder task of being Juniors. Their Junior year started out very well with a new slate of officers, John Siano was chosen for a second term for the President, “Bunny” Putnam became the new Vice President, Jackie Brown with one successful year behind her as Secretary, was chosen again for that job, and Ann Dunbar was conferred with the duties of a Treasurer. Student Council reopened and found John Siano as Treasurer of the council. Several new members were added from the class of ’55 to the council. They were Larry Conway and Joe Stafford. A club which had always been popular in the high school, the Forum, introduced two of the Juniors to its executive board. Jackie Brown was Treasurer, while Nancy Pratt was Program Chairman. The expansion came, not only in the field of clubs and law-making associations, but in the field of journalism. The “Exponent,” the school periodical, had on its staff such expert writers as “Connie” Fitzgerald, who later became the Editor-in-Chief of the paper; “Tique” Kelley, and Kathy Johntson. Education rose to a great height among the class members that year. Dottie Ament, Jackie Brown, Kathy Johnston, Betty Jurgelionis, “Tique” Kelley, Be v Parody, Nancy Pratt, Franny Roscoe, and Miner Thompson were chosen as members of the honorary scholastic society of Pro Merito in their Junior year. Although the Class of 1955 was busy with work activities, some of its members found time to participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics. John Siano and Billy Wallner found themselves playing football on the varsity team. The JV bas¬ ketball team was especially proud to bave such worthy Junior players as Dick Jacobs, “Beaver” Norwood, John Siano, and John Clapp on the team. “Boodie” Pervere alone was the only member of the Junior class to play on the varsity bas¬ ketball team. There was one able track member who was on the Track Team. The name of that player was John Clapp. The girls at that time also took their share of the burden in athletics. The Girls’ Varsity Field Hockey team had such players as Joyce Alex, Betty Dallas, Carol Peters, Shirley Scott, “Sis” Terounzo, and Cathie Wade. The Junior Varsity in Field Hockey also contained many Junior girls. Bev Dahowski, Nancy Falcon, Patty Hoosick, “ Pickles” MacNeil, Diane Osgood, Jeanette Paul, and “She-She” Sheehan played for this team. Girls’ Basketball had “Sis” Terrounzo, Betty Dallas, Cathie Wade and Charlotte Bryant on the varsity team. Yes, it certainly was a year of expan¬ sion for the Junior Class. Besides the recreation found in sports, the class that year upheld the tradition of holding the annual Football Dance on Thanksgiving evening. This project met with high success. The high school gymnasium was decorated in green and white streamers in the patterns of a football field, and around the outside of the “field”- tables were placed cafe style. The orchestra of Bill Malloy was employed by the class for the dance that night. All reports indicated that everyone who attended the affair had enjoyed himself thoroughly. Fine arts found a place among the Junior Class that year and a Junior Dramatic Club was started under tbe leadership of Miss Congdon, the friendly school librarian. During the short existence of the club, it managed to dramatize two one-act plays for assembly and the P.T.A. Members of the Class of ’55 who showed dramatic ability in this undertaking were Marie Petrin, Jackie Brown, Kathy Johnston, “Toots” Scott and Dave Pierson. The feeling of manifest destiny had caught on like a “house afire” in the Junior Class, and soon the Juniors were ready for another climb up the “ladder of progress” to their final and most important year in high school, the Senior year. ADVENTURE ENDS The opening of the school year in 1954 found the new Seniors busily engaged in plans to raise money for their expenses in their Senior year. Before the actual plans could go into effect, the class found it necessary to elect its class officers. The election of the Presidency went to John Siano, making him a three-term man. Betty Jurgelionis was installed as Vice President, Jackie Brown as Secretary, and Ann Dunbar as Treasurer. Soon after the elections of class officers the first money-making project was started, which was the preparations for the Senior Play. The class with the help of Miss Congdon, dramatic coach, finally decided upon the comedy “Old Doc.” The leading lady was Rosemarie Yetter and the men’s lead went to “Tiny” Smith. Other members of tbe class included in the cast were Nancy Pratt, Franny Roscoe, Regina Panek, Betty Jurgelionis, Jimmy O’Sullivan, Kathy Johnston, “Libby” Ambo, Marie Petrin, Bev Parrott, Bert Crothers, Fran Conway, Dave Pierson, and Pat Morrisey. The play was put on two nights and success had played another part in the Class of ’55. When the last night of the Senior Play was over, the seniors were cordially invited to attend the annual Senior Play party to be held at Ann Dunbar’s home in Shelburne Falls. Nearly one hundred fifty Seniors attended the affair. It was the one party which through all the school years had found everyone in a party mood and having an unforgettably good time. Sports, too, took on an unexpected importance that year. The Varsity Football team, coached by “Ump” Nichols and Stan Benjamin, chose such Seniors as co¬ captains John Siano and Billy Wallner. Larry Conway and Bert Crothers also saw action on the football team that year. As a result of their excellent playing, the Guy Trophy was awarded to the G.H.S. team. Boys’ Basketball bad never seen so many of the “55ers” on the varsity team. “Boodie” Pervere was captain, and his helpers included John Siano, Phil Norwood, Dick Jacobs, Dave Pierson, and John Clapp. Through their outstanding record, the team finished the basketball season with a 16-4 record. All the athletic teams appre¬ ciated the fine cheering done by “Jo” Wolfram, “Zip” Loignon, Betty Dallas, and Captain “Bunny” Putnam. One very pleasant surprise came to tbe seniors that year. The Greenfield Exchange Club sponsored a Booster Day. It was the first such event to take place in the town of Greenfield. Candidates for a football queen were chosen from the Senior Class. Those nominated were Connie Fitzgerald, Betty Jurgelionis, Jackie Brown, “Zip” Loignon, and “Bunny” Putnam. The people were very much pleased by the result of the election. “Bunny” Putnam was elected the football queen of 1954 on Booster Day. Beside s the pleasure that comes with the Senior year, many responsibilities are placed on the Senior’s shoulders. One such responsibility is the editing of the “Expon¬ ent,” the school newspaper. Connie Fitzgerald did a fine job in carrying more news and pictures to the other students in the school than ever before. The Senior yearbook was edited by Kathy Johnston, and Mr. Lawrence E. Cox was the faculty advisor. Through the efforts of many people too numerous to name, the “Evergreen” yearbook was produced and confirmed with a large amount of success. Student Council had to function and many Seniors helped to make it do so. Jackie Brown was President of the Council and Larry Conway Vice President, and John Siano Treasurer, and Betty Jurgelionis Secretary. Other members of the Council included Bob Spencer, George Bates and Jimmy O’Sullivan. When the work and fun was over, June, 1955, found the Senior boys and girls forming on the auditorium stage to receive their diplomas. At last their schooling, in a place which they had come to love, had reached its closing. The Seniors were ready to go out into the world and start another completely new way of life.
