The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. College of Business Administration Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, BANKING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of instruc- tion, including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, pro- fessional talks by business executives, and motion pictures of manufacturing processes, are used. College of Engineering Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (with DIESEL, AERON- AUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING options) , ELECTRICAL, CHEMI- CAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINIS- TRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to make business contacts which prove valuable in later years.

We attended school daily more as a matter of course than because of ac- tual foresight into the future. Little did we realize that some day we should be very sincere in expressing our grati- tude toward the same teachers who handed out the long homework assign- ments. This thorough training has helped to develop our minds to act in accordance with our growing bodies. It has enabled us to think and act more quickly, to reason more thoughtfully, to converse more intelligently, and to accomplish our work more thoroughly. At present, the opportunities for use- fulness are greater as far as the high school graduate is concerned. For those persons wishing to further their education, the prospects are favorable. There is in this country a definite need for trained minds. As for those per- sons who are not planning to attend higher institutions of learning, there has not for several years been such a boom in employment as there is at the pres- ent time. The country needs skilled workers also. Now that we have passed this phase of our life which was almost wholly directed for us by our parents and teach- ers, we are finally out on our own. Pre- viously the teachers did our planning for us — they outlined exactly what we wiere supposed to do; however, at this period of our life we must begin to make our own decisions. Above all, we must not be deceived by the present boom in employment into believing that the road is all straight and easy ahead. Born out of war preparations and defense needs, the sudden demand for workers represents an unhealthy growth. It is for us rather to look beyond the dark uncertain days im- mediately aLead an|d to work for a world where all men are engaged in peaceful pursuits and where justice and human brotherhood are supreme. 16 LITERARY FROM THE FALLING LEAVES OF A SKETCHBOOK A store-room of musty old books does not seem the proper birthplace of a mysterious romance. The closet where ancient school supplies were kept in the Man ' ning School, however, yielded, in 1935, a curious little 4J £ ” by 6 J 2 ” sketchbook with covers fray- ed and pages loose. A single word, “DRAWING,” had been penned in uncertain lettering upon the front cover. A perusal of the contents of the book is more pleasing. It holds a series of carefully executed pencil drawings, dating from 1877 to 1880, of Ipswich scenes, some unfamiliar scenes, and portraits of former citizens — portraits which have an air about them of being excellent resemblances of the people whom they represent. The modest creator of this delightful work left no name upon it. Somehow, the book found its way onto the bookshelves of Room 10, and was taken out and admired once or twice yearly. “What a shame it is” the admirer would say, “that a person with such a gift never rose to fame. (For the draw- ings show a definite technique and great talent.) The sketchbook moved with the rest of the high school regime to its new, shining quarters on Green Street in 1937. There, ashamed of the contrast of freshness with antiquity, it seemed to retreat to the depths of a bookshelf, until it was brought forth last May to be shown to some Latin students who were interested in art. It was in this capacity that I was fortunate to view the work; and was allowed to keep it for a weekend. I looked forward to the joy of inspecting it at my leisure, and I secretly expected to solve the mys- tery of its authorship. A hasty once-over showed me that there was indeed no name attached to the skilled work; but beneath a drawing of a man ' s back were three initials; G. W. F. G. W. F.! There was a clue that fairly bubbled over with pos- sibilities. If it had not been after hours, the town clerk ' s office would have been besieged immediately. An analysis of the subjects revealed the artist to be a man, for he drew a clock, the rear platform of a train, boats, factories, houses, church steeples, animals, woodland scenes with figures of men in them, and about ten men ' s portraits to two of a woman (undoubt- edly the artist’s mother.) What woman’s mind of that period would have run in those directions? 17 My next impulse was to show the sketches to our artist friend, Miss Har- riet D. Condon. She would have known that period and would undoubtedly be interested in the signed record of a layman’s artistic development. She was. She even recognized the locus of a tree by a sketch of it (the most carefully and wonderfully made of them all) and other scenes of Ipswich Basin and Water Street. But the people she did not recognize. She said, during the course of our conversation, that in some of the pic- tures she was reminded of the technique of the fine artist, Arthur W. Dow. She had taken some lessons from him and learned that his policy was to strive mainly for composition. He w ould draw a simple pattern, she said, on a square or oblong piece of paper and fill in trees, animals, or people wher- ever he felt that they were needed. Could G. W. F. have been a pupil of Mr. Dow’s? And who could G. W. F. have been? “George Farley’’ was the reply, “but he was not gifted in the line of art at all.” Perhaps he had hidden talent of which this book is the only record! I was sure that it was George Farley. The mystery was solved at the end of a pleasant evening. Racing home, I showed the book to my father who had been away, and I made no comments as he went through it. Telling the solution of a mystery before one has been acquainted with the mystery itself is no way to arouse a person’s interest! But before I could explain my luck, he said , “Do you know, this picture bears a strong re- semblance to Arthur Dow. His picture is in the frontispiece of Mr. Arthur Johnson’s life story of him. Perhaps it is a picture by Mr. Dow of his father.” We eagerly brought out the life of Mr. Dow. Indeed, the man in the sketchbook had the same short beard but a broader chin than Arthur Dow’s. He had the same penetrating eyes. From that moment dated our supposition that Mr. Arthur Dow himself was the artist of the sketchbook! We dismissed the initials G. W. F. as a sketch of and not by Mr. George Farley. Arthur Wesley Dow — the man who was proud to be a native of Ipswich. He graduated from Newburyport High School, studied art in Paris and Japan, became an authority on Eastern Art, a painter of wide fame, author of a universally popular book upon com- position, a teacher at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and head of the Art Depart- ment of Columbia University until his death. Yet essentially, he remained a native of Ipswich, striving to portray truthfully in bis paintings the spirit of New England as he knew it from his life in Ipswich, leaving his studio site on Bayberry Hill as a park for the Town of Ipswich, and, through the 18 efforts of his wife, two of his famous paintings to the high school. I so greatly hoped to find out that the sketches were the work of Arthur Wesley Dow. It seemed to me to be the only desirable solution, disproving our foolish thoughts that the drawings had been made by a man who didn’t carry on his art work beyond young manhood. Who with such decided talent could possibly have ignored it or failed to carry it on into prominence? There were, however, opposing facts which tended to disprove this theory. It was Miss Condon who pointed them out . . . Why should the sketchbook have been found in the Manning School when Mr. Dow had attended Newbury- port High School and had no contact with the Manning building? Most of the men pictured on the pages were of a very scholarly type with delicate hands. Mr. Dow’s folks were farmers and laborers with strong, hard hands that had known what it was to do difficult physical work . . . The windows in the interior scenes had large panes of glass and tasseled draperies, luxuries which undoubtedly were not found in the humbly-situated Dow family. There followed an interview with Mr. Johnson, who thought it quite prob able that the book was Mr. Dow’s work, for he noticed that the writing of the dates beneath the sketches resem- bled samples that he had of Mr. Dow’s. There was also another talk with Miss Condon, who felt quite sure that Mr. Dow had not drawn the pictures, but that they might be the work of Mr. Everett Hubbard, an Ipswich poet, who had had considerable artistic talent, also. It was then that I turned in earnest to jMr. Johnson’s Life story of Mr. Dow. I took also the sketchbook (which I’ve kept for many weekends) and referred to it from time to time as I ran across congruent dates. Arthur Wesley Dow was born in the Norton-Cobbet House in 1857. He early showed a sensitive, poetic nature, coupled with a love for doing hand- work. He was fascinated by clocks of all kinds and spent many hours of his boyhood in tinkering with them and in taking them apart. (I referred to a sketch of a banjo clock.) Dow graduated from Newburyport High School in 1875. (I noticed a sketch of the rear platform of a train, possibly made while commuting to and from school) . There followed a time of disappointment at not being able to attend Amherst College. Instinctively his love of handwork developed more and more into a keen love for drawing, which filled the empty hours of uncer- tainty. He turned, not to copy the il- lustrations of others, but to the marshes and dunes and the wealth of old houses about him. The houses especially fas- cinated him, for he realized that they were the expression of the art of two- hundred and fifty years of the people of New England. (I turned again to 19 the sketchbook which offered humor- ous sketches of houses and the river and landscapes.) Part of this lonely period of Mr. Dow ' s life was spent in teaching at the Linebrook school, and in aiding Rev. Augustine Caldwell of Worcester to se- cure enough information and illustra- tions of Essex County to complete and edit the unfinished genealogical work of Mr. Abraham Hammatt, whose early death prevented him from finishing it himself. Through Mr. Caldwell, Dow met a Mrs. Freeland of Worcester, from whom he received encouragement and instruction in art. (There are un- familiar scenes in the sketchbook which might conceivably be of Worcester.) Dow continued to draw under his own initiative, and it is mainly in a period corresponding to this that the sketches in the little book were made. At one point he determined to study the complicated anatomy of human beings by first becoming acquainted with that of lower forms of life. Hearing that a cow had died in a pasture on Little Neck, he procured the remains and trundled them home in a wheel- barrow. He boiled and bleached the bones in the kitchen while his patient mother looked on. He studied the curves of the cow’s bones before he at- tempted to draw live animals. (With a smile, I found a whole page of sketches of cows in various positions.) ‘Every day he sketched . . . the people about him; types of weather-beaten men interested him and he would get them to sit and talk (than which they loved nothing better to do) while he sketched them, adding to his increasing skill of hand and rich material for his collection of folk-lore.” (I notice the many drawings of men in the sketch- book, some rough-hewn, coarse, others scholarly, fishing, walking, lying in the grass, reading, smoking.) There seemed to be every indication that the great Mr. Dow himself had made that sketchbook. I was ready to swear that he had, until my eye fell upon the paragraph immediately fol- lowing: “It was during the latter part of 1880 that his career as a solitary Ips- wich artist came to an end for he found in Everett Stanley Hubbard” (the very man whom Miss Condon had mention- ed) “a neighbor of the same age, tal- ents, and aspirations as his own. There began a friendship which continued through many years. It ripened through days of companionship spent in sketch- ing about the town. They would choose the same subject and each inter- pret it in terms of his own reaction, then offer mutual criticism. The joy of companionship there was much of the pleasant zest of competition.” “The latter part of 1880” — I turn to the latter part of the sketchbook and find many drawings dated August 27, 1880. What a splendid time the two of them must have had that day! They 20 went down the Ipswich River in a row- boat and took their lunch. They drew their boat and, scenes along the banks — cows grazing and boats moored at ebb tide. “Of the same age, talents, and aspira- tions” — so the sketchbook might be the work of either one — of Mr. Arthur Wesley Dow who was to become one of the foremost artists of his generation — or of Mr. Everett Stanley Hubbard, by profession a poet, but a youth of considerable artistic talent who used it for the encouragement of the greater talent of a real friend. Neither man has any close relatives living now who could definitely determine the authorship. In either case, the sketchbook is an un- written record of the crucial period in the life of a very famous artist who kept his integrity of purpose through the discouraging years of his youth, whether the drawings are actually the work of the artist himself, or that of a sincere friend who was sketching by his side, encouraging, cheering, and in- spiring by competition. Who are we to judge which of the two virtues is the greater? Ruth Wilson ’42 “GREEN MANSIONS” By W. H. Hudson W OULD you like to be transported through the realm of imagination to the tropical forests and savannahs of Guiana — visit Indian villages, see the exquisite foliage of tropical birds and glorious panorama of the surrounding countries? Undoubtedly, you already know that this is possible through the magic car- pet of books. For this particular imag- inative jaunt, it is necessary to have as a conductor, W. H. Hudson, and as a magic carpet, his book “Green Man- sions.” You will find that this book isn’t merely a travelogue. It is, by far, more digestible and interesting than that, for it is a story with an enchanting back- ground; a romance with its setting in a tropical forest. The story is built around Abel de Argensola and Rima. Abel, because of his participation in a political intri- gue in Venzuela, left there and started wandering through the neighboring countries. He often stayed at Indian villages, learning their dialect and ob- serving their customs. He endured hardships and dangers from hostile tribes. During one of his indefinite stays at a village of friendly natives he became acquainted with Rima, a strange, nymph -like girl. At times she seemed almost ethereal. Needless to say, they fell in love and there lies the story. Abel was willing to give up worldly things, his friends, the girl he had loved, for a simple primitive existeince with the bird-like girl Rima. Just when his dream of a perfect and beautiful love was realized and at its peak, it crashed. 21 Rima, whose spirit was gay and blithe, was destroyed by fire. Their romance, while it lasted, was beautiful, strange, tragic, and almost fantastic. “Without ever departing from its quality of a tale, this story symbolizes the yearning of the human soul for the attainment of perfect love and beauty in this life — that impossible perfection which we must all learn to see fall from its high tree and be consumed in flames as was Rima, the bird-girl. After reading this book, when gazing at a dense forest or wooded district, you unconsciously think of the “green man- sions” of Abel and Rima. “Green Mansions” — “green” for the forest foliage and “mansions” for the high, lofty, majestic trees of South America, — even the name is symbolic of the story. Ruth Perley ’41 AGAWAM I am wanting something that describes and pictures in one word my village Her romantic past, lingering in wind- ing shady streets that first were cow- paths And have clung to the traditions of that early era; and we blindly follow them, Little realizing how much time we waste, but knowing very well that they are more charming the way they are. Having quaint names that hail from former times, Bordered with old, decrepit houses that hold whispers of lives that yearned and loved and wept much as we do now, and made history; And whose cellars sigh beneath the bur- den of their stored-up knowledge About passageways and musty closets holding documents and buried treas- ure unknown now to the world, but still existing. Streets passing by cemeteries filled with illegible gravestones that once were painstakingly wrought and painful- ly laid above the graves of the beloved dead. I sometimes wander through the crook- ed rows of them, Bent before seasons of storm and bleached by the sun, And wonder, “Where are these people now?” But unremembered and uncelebrated as their names are to me now, still I know That their lives have made you what you are, O town of my adoption; Village with farmers tilling the sandy soil, And factory-workers making stockings and fluorescent lighting, And carpenters measuring the gobd beam and building, building, Children studying and learning to live at the schools and playgrounds, and in the homes, 22 Housewives washing and cooking and mending and doing all the seemingly- small jobs that women do and get little credit for, but which accom- plish a great deal because they are unselfishly done, Clammers and fishermen hauling a hard- earned living from the sea,- All these occupations and more are being done under your elms whose branches stretch to heaven, Beside your river pursuing its winding but persistent course through marshes with salt hay and creeks to the At- lantic coast, Where the staunch land and powerful ocean meet each other in one splurge of Nature’s beauty: White sand soothing to the bare feet of myriads of people in the summer- time, And briny bay with white breakers and deep shadows that I try to paint as deep green But when I look again, the color has changed to blue or gray with dark shadows pursuing each other between the rolling waves, And I cannot paint it, but only won- der about the Person who could have created such a marvelous thing as an ocean, Welcome at all seasons of the year: Inviting for an icy plunge on a hot day, or a boat ride through the choppy waves, And beautiful and ever-changing and fragrant of salt just to behold and inhale in the autumn or winter. Village of so much beauty and mean- ing that I cannot express, The Indians simply called you Aga- wam, A name in which they summed up all the fading past, the glowing present, and the future Predicted by the seagulls, soaring high above, gliding down oni the wind and swooping up again. In their wild graceful beauty, and their whiteness, symbol of hope. Ruth Wilson ’42 23 Graduation Essays THE OBLIGATION OF THE AMERICAN CITIZEN By George Senseney M ANY years ago, a small band of voyagers landed on the shores of Massachusetts. Persecuted and oppress- ed in their native land, they had wan- dered haplessly from one country to another, forever in search of a land where they might practice their beliefs free from political restraint. After years of wanderings they undertook the voyage to the New World. They did not come in search of gold or other material riches, but in search of the riches of freedom. These pilgrims were typical of the surge of immigrants who were to follow in years to come, all in search of a new life of freedom and happiness. Those who followed were from every nation, large and small. Peoples from western Europe settled along the surg- ing frontiers and formed the backbone of the mighty westward movement. Peoples from England and France ■settled along the eastern coast and northern borders of the United States and Canada, while the Spanish conquer- ors took all the south and west. Then, with the coming of the Industrial Revo- lution in the nineteenth century, much cheap labor was brought from southern Europe, e. g. Greece, Italy, and Ru- mania. Thus we see that our country is made up of a huge assorted mixture of all the countries of the world. Each and every one had different customs, different creeds, different ways of life. From this amorphous mass was formed the modern American nation, with every citizen in it not a Frenchman, nor an Englishman, not a Greek, nor an Italian, but something entirely new and differ- ent — an American. Some of us fail to realize and appre- ciate the freedom we enjoy as Ameri- cans. Since the day our Constitution was framed, the people of the United States have enjoyed more freedom of thought and action than any other na- tion in the world. Our Constitution still remains the greatest document on human liberty ever written. We as citizens of the United States, enjoy a freedom of speech and of the press which endows us with a liberty en joyed by few. Where else in the world can one read a newspaper in which the views of the people are so clearly expressed or where there is so sincere an attempt to represent truth in so far as it can be determined in the welter of modern events? We may read the latest news from over seas or the news of the internal business of our country, free and uncensored. We have a strong voice in the gov- ernment ctf our country. We elect 24 representatives to express our views and uphold our rights in the legislatures. Yet despite the inestimable value of our vote, many Americans neglect their duty and fail to vote at the elections. With- out the support of the people, how can a democratic government function prop- erly? Our working conditions are the best, and our standard of living the highest of any country in the world. The eight hour day with time and a half for over- time is enjoyed almost universally. We enjoy our sports and other recreations in playgrounds and field owned and operated by the community. The home life of the American is the most free and happy to be found anywhere in the world. A varied cli- mate and a high standard of living ren- der it the healthiest possible. Our free educational system provides for the edu- cation of the youth of the nation in the principles of democracy and in the part they must play in the future wel- fare of the country and its people. Yet there is always a high price to be paid for freedom, for it is the most valuable of all commodities. The up- keep of the government necessitates the expenditures of money which must be gained by taxation. Money must be raised to pay for peace time pursuits, for new means of communication, for roads, tunnels, and shipyards. The only satisfactory method of raising the mon- ey is through taxation. Through taxa- tion, the government is enabled to make use of more of our national resources, thus decreasing our dependency upon outside sources for raw materials. At present, taxation, though heavy, is des- tined to become much heavier because we as a nation are menaced by a foreign power whose ideas conflict dangerously with our own. Our duty in this respect is to pay as cheerfully as possible, real- izing that the privileges we enjoy can- not be estimated in terms of money. We doubt if the British are doing much grumbling these days at their high tax rate. No price is too high for them if their liberties are preserved. The American citizen owes it to his government also to report regularly at the polls to vote. In order for more perfect understanding between the gov- ernment and the people, each citizen must express his views. To lose our rights through defeat in war would be deplorable; but to lose them through indolence or indifference would be in- excusable. The proper function of de- mocracy, as we have said, requires that every citizen exercise his privilege to vote and to participate in his govern- ment. The Amercan citizen, above all, how- ever, owes loyalty and allegiance to his country, for America has nourished him and America has protected him. In this time of upheaval and conflict the cooperation of the American citizen is needed to the fullest possible extent be- cause the nation as a whole is united in a great national defense effort. We 25 cannot overemphasize the importance of this cooperation and loyalty among the American people, for in order for the nation to survive, the ideals of de- mocracy must be preserved. We have a solemn duty to live up to the ideals which have made the past history of this nation so glorious. May nothing happen through our timidity or un- worthiness to mar its future. THE AMERICAN RED CROSS By Charlotte Lindgren I N all parts of the world today, in America and war torn Europe can be seen that symbol of mercy, the red cross. During times of peace and times of war the Red Cross continues its work. Now when so many countries are engaged in warfare and the safety of so many others is menaced, the Red Cross is be- coming of even greater importance as it always becomes whenever there is a lo- cal or national crisis. The Red Cross has been in existence only a little over sixty years, but in that space of time it has served millions of lives. Whether the danger lies in floods, fire, or war, the Red Cross is always ready to serve. The idea of the Red Cross was first conceived by Henri Dunant, a young Swiss, who was travelling in Italy dur- ing the battle of Solferino. The battle had raged furiously until finally the French army forced the Austrians to retreat. After the battle thousands of men were dying for lack of proper nurs- ing. Dunant organized a group of peasant women to care for the wound- ed, and although they hesitated to care for their enemies, Dunant insisted that the wounded of both sides be treated equally. He did a magnificent piece of work at Solferino, but he did not stop there. After leaving Italy he wrote a book “The Souvenir of Solferino”, which was translated into several langu- ages. In it he stated his plan of having a neutral band of people ready to serve the wounded of all nations. In 1863 sixteen countries met at an international conference in Geneva, Switzerland, to formulate a plan. They decided to honor Switzerland by adopting (for their symbol) the Swiss flag with its colors reversed. Since that time there has been but one objection to using the symbol of the red cross. Mohammedan Turkey, because of the religious signi- ficance of the cross refused to use it. The organization goes under the sign and by the name of “The Red Crescent” in Turkey, Egypt, and part of Russia. Since America was busily engaged in the Civil War at the time of the forma- tion of the Red Cross, she refused to meddle in what she considered foreign affairs. Clara Barton had received recog- nition for her nursing during the Civil War, and at the outbreak of the Franco- Prussian War she was asked if she would aid the Red Cross. After the war she tried to convince the United States that it should join such a worthy organization. Finally in 1882 America 26 signed the treaty, and the American Red Cross was formed with Clara Bar- ton at its head. Although the Red Cross had been started for the purpose of aiding wound- ed soldiers at the battle front, gradually it widened its scope. It aided the vic- tims of the Michigan forest fires. It worked during the flood seasons with the people living in the valleys of the Ohio and the Mississippi. Perhaps its greatest contribution to the cause of humanity was in 1906 at the time of the great San Francisco earthquake and fire. A year before the San Francisco dis- aster Theodore Roosevelt had approved a charter that established the Red Cross as the American National Red Cross and placed it under government super- vision. The president of the United States is now always the president of the Red Cross. The United States, however, has never yet passed any laws regulating Red Cross work. The real test of the strength of the Red Cross came during the world war. The Red Cross remained absolutely neutral, and wounded soldiers of all nations were cared for alike. All the nations promised to recognize the red cross as a symbol of mercy, and am- bulances carrying this sign could not be fired upon. Although there were numerous reports circulated during the war that the sign was deliberately fired upon and that, in some cases, the flag was being used as a screen by enemies with hostile intentions, they were never proved and are decidedly open to doubt. The Red Cross proved its worth. Not only did it send thousands of nurses, but it also established hospitals and ambulance companies. Women at home, under Red Cross supervision, made rolls of bandages. Red Cross canteen women followed the soldiers to the front. Food and clothes were sent to seven- ty-two prison camps in enemy terri- tory. After the war the Red Cross cared for the wounded veterans and their families. In speaking of the Red Cross, we should not leave out the Junior Red Cross which President Wilson organ- ized in 1917. This organization has now spread all over the world. These junior societies learn how to live health- ily and how to accept civic responsibil- ity. I need not tell any more of the his- tory of the Red Cross. Its heroic deeds are well known by everyone. We know that in time of flood, fire, drought, or storm, the Red Cross is always ready to serve. It has on its roll the names of many efficient social workers who will help in time of need, and thousands of well-trained nurses ready to volunteer their services. Its local societies are kept busy making surgical dressings, hospital supplies, and knitted garments. The Red Cross is not, as many people believe, international. Each of its fifty national organizations is in- dependent although they meet together 21 every few years at international confer- ences. There is also an international committee at Geneva that arranges for meetings of the Red Cross organizations of different countries. People who wish to help in Red Cross activities can do various types of work, for today the Red Cross covers a large range of activi- ties. One of the most important depart- ments of the Red Cross is the nursing service. Only the highest trained nurses are allowed to become Red Cross work- ers. If a red cross nurse dies, her rela- tives must return her badge to head- quarters unless the nurse wishes to have it buried with her, for no one except a regular red cross nurse is allowed to possess a red cross badge. If the nurse is physically able, she must promise to serve in times of em ergency. In America, today, ships are arriving con- taining hundreds of refugees, many of whom are ill. These refugee ships are met by red cross nurses and each per- son is examined. Sixty cases of dysen- tery were found on one ship recently docked in New York. Another very necessary part of the Red Cross work is its First Aid Classes. When improper help is given to people injured by accident, more harm is done than good. Realizing this, the Red Cross is trying to instruct people in the correct manner of caring for the injured. Even more important is the effort made by the organization to pre- vent accidents. Every school child to- day is familiar with the Red Cross check list that reminds people of the many hazards to be found at home and on the farm. It is also necessary to send workers trained in First Aid to Britain. There are no anesthetics in many of the improvised hospitals that have been set up, and there are more people ill than can be handled by regular doctors and nurses. Of course caring for disabled veterans is still one of the main purposes of the Red Cross. The Red Cross started its home service during the World War. It cared for the dependents of wounded World War veterans and helped these veterans to make out their claims for disability. Then the Red Cross began transcribing books into braille. New hope was given to blind veterans. Braille, for the most part, is transcribed by hand for it is too expensive to do by machine. Today, all over America, men and women volunteers are copying books into braille to enable blind soldiers to have more extensive reading. There is no question in our minds as to the greatness of names prominent in Red Cross work. The names of Henri Dunant, Florence Nightingale, and Clara Barton are familiar to us all. Sometimes, however, we fail to appre- ciate all that the Red Cross is doing today. A call has recently gone out for more volunteer blood donors to give transfusions so that the blood plasma could be sent to England to save the lives of war victims. During the past 28 year the Red Cross spent over $20,000,- 000. Most of this money was used on aid for Britain. True to its neutral principle the American Red Cross cabled to Germany and asked what she needed. Germany answered that she needed nothing and has not since been asked. For most of us, however, it is both a comforting and an inspiring thought to know that whenever there is a disaster we shall find, alleviating the pain of victims and rebuilding that which is destroyed, that “band of mercy” of which Henri Dunant once fondly dreamed, “The Red Cross.” AMERICAN YOUTH IN THE PRESENT WORLD By Barbara Chapman H OW can the young people of Ameri- ca help to preserve their country and the principles of democracy? This is a vital question im the minds of those in the many graduating classes through- out America. Youth’s job has always been to prepare itself for the heritage given over by its elders, aptly to fit itself to assume the responsibility given over by the preceding generation. To maintain self-support, to take over an increasing share in the government of our country, to work for better social conditions, in short to foster and pro- mote the principles and truths of democ- racy, — to learn these is the fundamental duty of every American youth and has been since the country was founded. We trust that American youth will respond to that call as it has always responded. But in these days of crisis and confusion at home and chaos a - broad, are there not added burdens and duties which youth must shoulder? We are told we must help to preserve de- mocracy. The smug days, when we believed that democracy which we learned about from our first history books had proved its worth and that its privileges had been permantly won, are over, for us as well as for those of maturer years. We realize, now, along with you that these privileges can never be won except at the price of eternal vigilance and sacrifice. The question is what can we as young people do about it. In modern times youth is never asked about the sacrifice. That is de- manded as a matter of course. We have got to be assured, however, that the cause for which we lay down our lives, if necessary, is worth the sacrifice. In this regard we need to clarify our ideas about democracy and restate our atti- tudes toward it. America was formed as a Democratic nation, a government in which all people were to have equal rights. How- ever, democracy is much more than a form of government! It is a way of life or, as Brooks Atkinson says, “men living together with mutual respect for a common destiny.” Youth, therefore, has to face the responsibility of preserv- ing a way of life as well as a political system. 29 War wreaks havoc in the battling countries and the effects are far-felt; all nations share the ill effects of war. Higher prices and taxes result in losses in business and unemployment. Living standards sink, poverty becomes ram- pant, and the hope of youth is stifled. Youth is likely to lose its head amid the turbulent conditions and become engulfed in the swirl of uncertainty paramount in America today. Youth’s first duty then is to remain sane and confident. It must not be uncertain! It must be surer than ever of itself. The future and happiness of the American democracy rest on today ' s youth. The way in which we respond to present conditions determines the destiny of the country. There are certain duties for today ' s American youth by which each one must prepare to meet the ever-ris- ing challenging conditions of the world, to defend his country and its principles in which he believes. It almost goes without saying that youth must be physically able to per- form the duties expected of it in carry- ing out the demands of national defense. In case of war it is vitally important that youth be physically strong and de- veloped; otherwise how would a coun- try be able to stand up against the for- eign powers that are so strongly empha- sizing and demanding the physical development of their youth today? Our army camps may be depended upon, in part, to develop our boys physically, but that training is not sufficient. To- talitarian powers make much of physi- cal fitness. American young people have got to exhibit the same willingness to sacrifice and practice the same self- denial if they are going to be able to compete with Nazi youth, who, how- ever much we may condemn them, are unselfish and fired with an almost re- ligious fanaticism toward the State. Mental training, on the other hand, is one field where we can secure the ad- vantage over totalitarian countries be- cause liberal education and training to think will in the long run prove super- ior to blind worship of a leader and obedience to him. Fatalism attendant upon war may make youth regard hu- man life as cheap and lead them to a “What’s the use?” attitude. Why study to develop our minds, they may question, just to the point where we might be useful to society and then have our activities cut short by death and destruction in war? This attitude should be overcome. We must not al- low ourselves to relax in our attempts to broaden our education and develop our minds to the utmost degree, whether it be in college or in the school of life, The world is going to need well-train- ed minds to cope with the problems a- rising out of the war and we can best meet these later demands by close appli- cation to study and education now. American youth can, however, con- tribute most valuably to this war-ridden world by furnishing spiritual impetus to the people. Youth must necessarily have a wider view-point, a clearer abil - 30 ity to understand and to combat the pernicious instrumental forces behind the wrongs rampant in the present world. The young people of America must believe in their country, that it is a good country, worth working and fighting for; they must be loyal and hopeful and have faith in the future. In youth lies the power of future restoration of order, discipline, and productivity. Courage, hope, resolu- tion, and confidence must continue to come from youth who wish to preserve the democratic principles under which they have been reared. Youth must look beyond the depressing incidents of the day into the unknown future. We know that, among other things, we shall have a legacy of hate as a result of the war. This also we must prepare to combat spiritually. We must look a- head to the kind of world to follow the present chaos; we must have faith in a better one and a vision of a world where all men everywhere are free to live, to think, to work as their desires and abilities dictate, and where nations cooperate for peace. The times are in- deed challenging. Dark days are doubt- less facing us. Just as difficulties, ob- stacles, and sorrows may help to de- velop strength of character in an indi- vidual, however, so American youth as a whole may come out of the troubles of the present chastened and strengthen- ed with a determination that govern- ment “of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” We trust that we may ac- cept this challenge of the future, what- ever it may hold, and vibrate to the confident ring in Emerson’s lines: “So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, ‘Thou must,’ The youth replies, ‘I can! ' 31 CLASS DAY PARTS CLASS HISTORY By Betty Jerome W E of the Class of 1941 have come to an important milestone in our lives when, after spending four pleasant, eventful and profitable years together in this new Ipswich High School build- ing, we are forced to face the world of awaited opportunity. In the fall of the year 1937, we, as freshmen, timidly entered this strange new building with its long corridors, many rooms, and affable but deter- mined faces. As time went on, we became more accustomed to our once bewildering sur- roundings, discarded our timid awk- ward ways, and manifested a desire to participate in school activities. Accord- ingly, we held our first class meeting, choosing as our leaders Barbara Chap- man, president, who was and has con- tinued to be a most capable and efficient helper in all class activities; George Robertson, vice president; Rosamond Weiland, secretary; and John Hazen, treasurer. One of our most attractive girls, Rosamond Weiland, was chosen in Feb- ruary as the class candidate for Snow Queen. Although not being fortunate enough to win this coveted title in spite of a well fought fight, she came in a close second and made one of the Queen’s most pleasing attendants at the coronation. During the month of March, we ran a freshman party and thus embarked upon our social career. Miss Blodgett with her aversion to snakes furnished much of the evening’s entertainment. In the latter part of this month a trip of historical interest was made by the ancient history class and guests to the several Boston Art Museums. Ex- cept for the chagrin suffered by one group who got lost and inquired for Washington Street only to be told by a kind officer that they were on it, the trip proved to be interesting and educa- tional. Early in May another group enjoyed a most entertaining evening at a Pop Concert in Boston under the strict surveillance of the upper class- men and of our music instructor, Mr. Tozer. Needless to say, not all of the entertainment was furnished by the musicians. With the resumption of class activities in the fall, a new set of officers was elected: namely, John Hazen, president; Vernon Cooke, vice president; Ruth Perley, secretary; and Irma Orsini, treasurer. Our athletic feats during this year were amazing. We discovered as the football season progressed that our team boasted a hero, Jo-Jo Robishaw, who by his swift decisive runs scored many a touchdown, enabling Ipswich to win the football championship in class “D” for the year 1938. The basketball and baseball teams, likewise, piroved their skill by winning the championship in their respective leagues. A baby social for the freshmen was held on November at which time the toddling youngsters were initiated, being forced to wear crepe paper bibs while consuming their nourishing re- freshments of fruit punch and vanilla cookies. Our sophomore year slipped quickly by and made us upper classmen before we hardly realized it. Early in Sep- tember, we elected class officers who were to lead us through a most eventful year. Vernon Cooke was chosen as president; Peter Stamatakos as vice president; Arline Dupray as treasurer; and Betty Jerome, secretary. The name of Jo-Jo Robishaw will certainly go down in history as one of the most famous high school heroes, who, backed by the clever work of the remaining members of his team, won the football championship for Ipswich for the second consecutive year. The problem of Hass colors arose early in our junior year and was final- ly settled by a choice of green and white. The two most important events of our Junior year, however, were the selection of class rings and our junior prom. So many opinions had been formed by my classmates during their high school career as to the type of class ring desired, that the selection of a ring which would be favored by a ma- jority seemed for many weeks to be a difficult if not impossible task. Op- posing groups insisted on expressing their opinions, a legal and proper pro- cedure, but when all commenced to voice them simultaneously, the room was turned into such a bedlam that, I am sure, if one had attempted to enter the room at any of these numerous class meetings, he would have immedi- ately withdrawn from nervous shock. However, after the cessation of these heated debates, the class ring with a tiger head was chosen and everybody was eventually happy. The date of April 12, 1940 will long remain in our memories, for it was upon this memorable date mid gushing torrents of rain that we held our junior prom. However, in spite of rain, we were fortunate in attracting an exceed- ingly large crowd. Through the indus- trious work of the hall committee, the auditorium was realistically transform- ed into a ship’s deck with tropical scenery, sail boats, and sea gulls visible in the distance. The junior prom completed our class events for the year and left us eagerly anticipating the summer vacation. When it came, however, the expectant thrill of our becoming seniors in September made us look forward just as eagerly to the opening of school. When September arrived, and ou dream of someday becoming seniors had been fulfilled, we immediately proceed- ed to elect class officers to steer us through the varied activities of our 33 senior year. Vernon Cooke, Peter Stamatakos, and Betty Jerome were reelected as president, vice president, and secretary respectively, and Barbara Mac- Cormack was elected as treasurer. As our first activity of the year, we ran a Hallowe’en barn dance, the audi- torium being appropriately decorated for the occasion with wagon wheels, pumpkins, and new mown hay. To many students the evening afforded great pleasure, but to those susceptible to hay fever, the discomfort suffered from the clouds of hay dust was hardly compensated by the fun of the eve- ning. According to tradition we held our senior day upon the Friday before Christmas vacation, amazing our under classmen, especially freshmen, when we entered the assembly dressed as children, the girls resplendent in dresses and huge hair-ribbons, and the boys wearing short trousers, or a bad imitation ac- complished by folding or tucking up their regular ones. Dilapidated dolls and toys which had been brought forth from attic corners were much in evi- dence, and all were audibly sucking gigantic lolly-pops. In February, Elsie Bakula was chosen as our candidate for the Snow Queen. Elsie, who later was voted our prettiest girl, made a most attractive appearance at the coronation. During the months of February and March, the vital question of class photo- graphs arose, Fnally after receiving bids from many other companies, Purdy’s studio was selected. These photographs were taken on the fourth, fifth, and sixth of March, and all waited eagerly tor the return of the proofs. When we did receive them, the pictures bore some resemblance to the originals and on the whole were all that we could expect. Our senior play which was presented on April 3, 1941, gave us our first real opportunity to exhibit our acting ability. Ruth Wood and Frank O Mal- ley well deserve the titles of class actress and actor, who most successfully played the leading roles in our presentation ot a three act comedy, “The Three-Cor- nered Moon.’’ The supporting mem- bers of the cast were Irma Orsini, who played the part of a “rattlebrained’’ mother, Mrs. Rimplegar; George Sen- seney, a dreamy unreliable novelist; Dorothy Hull, the maid; Anne Ken- nedy, a Brooklyn beauty; and Robert Haskell, Chester Kirk, and Peter Mour- ikas, Mrs. Rimplegar’s sons . Through the cooperation of teachers and mana- gers we feel that we were able to give a very creditable performance and re- ceived a great deal of enjoyment from rehearsals and preparations. Today as we are nearing the termin- ation of our high school life, we look back regretfully over these four years which have so quickly slipped away from us and which we shall affection- ately regard in future years for having afforded us so many happy experiences and friendships. May we ever be loy- 34 al to our high school alma mater, Ips- wich High School. CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1961. Place: Professional football game in Chicago. Characters: Ruth Wood — a peanut vendor. Robert MacKenzie — a spec- tator. RUTH. Popcorn, peanuts, candy, chewing gum! Candy, sir? ROBERT. Yes, I’ll have a Bobby Bar, an old classmate of mine, “Rosie” Weiland, manufacturers it; so I like to help her out. RUTH. An old classmate of yours? Why, she graduated from I. H. S. in 1941. Did you? ROBERT. Yes, and it seems to me you look rather familiar yourself. RUTH. Robert Mackenzie, don’t you remember me? I wrote the class prophecy with you. ROBERT. Woodsie! Well how is the old girl? But what are you doing, selling candy? RUTH. I was a dietitian, but the depression hit me after the second World War. This is better than starving. ROBERT. I guess it is. Have you heard anything of our other classmates lately? RUTH. Yes, Barb Kirk is now a big business woman and manufactures over one half of the country’s mega- phones. ROBERT. Speaking of manufac- turers, Everett Adamowicz has made a fortune selling stilts to “sawed-offs.” RUTH. Oh, Barb’s girl friend, Charlotte Lyman, runs the Clement beauty parlor, and Dot Perkins is the chief beautician in a salon in the city of Hyannis. ROBERT. That reminds me. John Curtis took over John Warner’s hair restoring establishment in Boston. RUTH. What of Curtis’s old stand-by, Eddie Sullivan? ROBERT. Well, Sully after years of extensive study, is now a country horse doctor His pal, Emerson Wade, is still waiting at the Perley gates. RUTH. Perley gates? Oh, I get it. ROBERT. Speaking of Rowley, — whatever became of Betty Jerome and Tim Ricker? RUTH. Betty is now the private secretary at the Foster Fancy Footgear Factory, and Tim Ricker, who was al- ways interested in agriculture, runs a truck farm in Amesbury. ROBERT. That’s odd. “Hank” Blunda and Jackie Comeau are joint owners of a truck farm in New Jersey. RUTH. Say, have you heard any- thing of our class athletes “Jo Jo” Robishaw, Billy Peatfield, Pete Stama- takos, and “Angelo” Pappas? ROBERT. Yes, “Jo Jo” Rjobi- shaw is the head football coach at U. C. L. A.: Peatfield is now playing for the Boston Braves; Stamie climbed the road stardom and is taking Caesar Romero’s place in Hollywood; and of 35 course you know Pappas is playing here today on the Redskins against Chester Kirk on the Bears. RUTH. Well, well, they have gone places, haven’t they? Maybe Stamie sees something of three of our girls, Margaret Stone, Doris Rand, and Jack- ie Player, who form a trio that puts the Andrews Sisters to shame. Anna Karmeris is also in Hollywood where she is now wearing Dottie Lamour’s sarong, and recently I saw Phyllis Downing at her debut in the Metropoli- tan Opera; she’s wonderful! ROBERT. Phyllis in the Metro- politan? Well! I guess I’ll have to see her next performance. I also want to see Stella Mozdziez, who studied the sax when she left school. She’s starred in Dot Hull’s female orchestra that’s sweeping the country with its rhythm. RUTH. Did you know that some of our other girls are career women? Barb Chapman is secretary for the young Dr. Collins, and Ethel Cross is a Red Cross supervisor with Margie DeGrandpre as an assistant. That re- minds me of Muriel Mallard who took a (K) night course in stenotyping and has made a new world’s record of five hundred words a minute. ROBERT. One of our other class- mates, Pete Mourikas, has joined the ranks of the nobility with the title of “Baron” recently inherited in the old country. RUTH. Some of the girls, of course, embarked on- the sea of matri- mony. Mary Cross is making practi- cal use of her child care course, and Phyllis Burke surprised us all by snatch- ing a United States senator from under our very noses, not, however, Senator George Senseney from Florida. And, of course, you know Barb McCormack became Mrs. Robishaw soon after grad- uation. ROBERT. As I recall, a couple of the lads went into the chemistry field. George Markos is a laboratory techni- cian for General Motors, and “Clip- per” Onufry is developing Topsfield’s natural resources. RUTH. Virginia Mosher lost a few pounds and recently won the At- lantic City bathing beauty contest; Bar- bara Varney gained a few and was a close second. Ellen Retalis was one of the judges. ROBERT. No! Well, speaking of chubby figures, Paul Short is now the proud owner of a paper store in the city of Rowley. RUTH. Rowley? Isn’t that where Gladys Rowell came from? Gladys is now a member of Earl Carroll’s Vani- ties, and Anne Kennedy is doing a bub- ble dance at the Rainbow Room where Anne Dragoni does a jitterbug special- ty with Chris Aloupis. ROBERT. You knew, of course, that a number of the boys went into the service. Lieutenant Lezon is in the navy aboard the aircraft carrier “Wasp,” and in the Army is “Cookie”, who spends three-quarters of his time doing K. P. and the other quarter dodg- ing Sergeant Ford of the Military 36 Police. Johnny Hazen is an instructor at Kelly Field, and Haskell left the army for a quiet real estate business in Row- ley, but he still isn’t altogether free of “Misery.” RUTH. Speaking of the army re- minds me of Barb Grant who is a nurze at Camp Edwards and has de- veloped a “Private” interest in astron- omy, especially in the Moon, and Bessie Pechilis is an army hostess, who is keeping the soldiers’ minds alert with lectures on social responsibility. ROBERT. Nicholson and O’Brien became traveling salesmen. Nicholson sells household appliances, and O’Brien sells for the Fuller Brush Co. RUTH. Everista Kmiec is another saleswoman who sells wigs and toupees made from her own hair. Have you heard anything of our class artist, Joan Bousley ? ROBERT. Yes, I understand she is a great portrait painter. She recently painted a portrait of “The Great Dic- tator,” George Tjavalekos, and his wife, the former Sophie Bies. RUTH. There’s Connie SoCirop- oulos down there in a box seat. She’s now a journalist for the New York Herald Tribune. That’s ;a stunning frock she has on, isn’t it? ROBERT. Yes, it’s very nice. RUTH. I think it’s a “Tillie-Mae” frock, designed by Mae Fuller and made by “Tillie” Gurynska. ROBERT. Dorothy Pierce, who spent so much of her time in the Cable Memorial Hospital, grew so fond of it that she is superintendent. RUTH. I’ve been told that Alice Waz and “Vicky” Wegzyn, who dis- turbed Mr. Davis with their chattering, are now making Victrola records for the Victor Talking Machine Company. ROBERT. Have you heard any- thing of our two redheads, Arline Per- kins and Irma Orsini, who were much interested in the Coast Guard? RUTH. Yes, Irma has an apple orchard and is very busy raising Bald- wins, while Arline is still waiting for her ship to come in. ROBERT. There are two athletes whom I forgot to mention. Eddie Machaj is a golf “pro” in California, and Chris Perdikas is a fighter whose wrestling career in the Salem Arena is being ably managed by Chris Mourikas. RUTH. Do you remember our class vamp, Rosalie Burridge? ROBERT. Yes. RUTH. Rosalie is still vamping and is now on her way to the altar for a fourth try. ROBERT. What ever happened to our class beauty, Elsie Bakula? RUTH. The last I heard of Elsie she was modeling for Petty. ROBERT. Speaking of Petty re- minds me of “Esquire.” Adrian Benja- min, our best dressed boy, is now fash- ion editor for that magazine. RUTH. And our best dressed girl, Jennie Kozacki, models for Earl Car- roll. ROBERT. Eddie Kamon is head mechanic at the Douglas Aircraft fac- 37 tory; and O’Malley, his assistant, is as busy as a bee working for “Honey. RUTH. Florence Scotton, another ninth warder, recently achieved her dream and won the Women’s World Championship for diving; and Arline Dupray, who studied men extensively, has perfected a ray for capturing them. ROBERT. Lonnie Adams went in for local improvement; he is now the fire chief of dear old Ipswich where Connie Dupray is a partner in Quint’s drugstore. Also in Ipswich is Zyg- mont Putur, now a gym instructor at our alma mater. RUTH. Charlotte Lindgren is still talking as much and as fast as ever, but it’s the poor natives in South Africa that have to take it now, — she’s a mis- sionary. ROBERT. Rose Saulnier and Dot Gross are singing with Tommy Dorsey and Guy Lombardo respectively. RUTH. And Bryce Homans is al- so a musician, playing solo trumpet in the Boston Symphony. And what of Nick Karaberis? ROBERT. Well, Niick, I believe, is still manager of the Shoe Shop in Ipswich. RUTH. Well this isn’t selling my peanuts. It’s been great seeing y ' ou. So long and remember me to Ipswich when you go back. ROBERT. Yes, I will “Woodsie.’’ Goodbye. RUTH. Goodbye.

GIFTS TO BOYS By Arline Dupray While strolling through the country- side, Where birds and bees and flowers abide, I came upon an old-fashioned well Equipped with bucket and rope and bell. Charmed and enchanted, there I paused And gazed into the depths of what had caused Blood to return to parched lips Of travelers returning from weary trips. But what does this antique offer me? Certainly no water, it was plain to see. But as I stood wondering, enthralled, A gentle voice from within it called: This is a wishing well for you; So make your wish and I’ll see it through. I watched the bucket go down, down, down. And for a moment silence reigned a- round. Then the bucket appeared, granting the wish en masse A wee, little gift for each boy of my class. 40 1 . These for Adamowicz, in my estima- tion, As playing golf is Eddie ' s aspiration. So take these tees and this little ball And go out on the green and show us all. 2. To Lawrence Adams, this leash and chain So at the shipyard he may remain When bright sunny days have come to stay And the neighboring beach tempts him to stray. 3 . To Christos Aloupis, a little book To help him win by hook or crook; For when it comes to strong debating Aloupis earns a first-class rating. 4 . Adrian Benjamin, fashion plate, Needs a spur to keep him up-to-date. By using this catalogue with care He’ll cut a figure all too rare. 5 . A streamlined truck to John Comeau. We hope your trucking jobs may grow, And when your employers begin to groan You may start trucking on your own. 6 . To Frank Blunda goes this little gun, May your hobby give you loads of fun, But be mighty careful how you aim it Or you’d much better take the gun and frame it. 7 . To Vernon Cooke, our class president, Who in ruling the class many hours has spent We give this gavel, symbol of power, To inspire him daily, hour by hour. 8. John Curtis, famous for his blushes, Needs camouflage for those blood rushes. This barrel of flour may stem the tide If often and skillfully applied. 9 . Richard Ford dearly loves a flower Whose sweetness grows from hour to hour. We’ll call it “Rose”, but what’s in a name? By any other she’d be the same. 10 . To Robert Haskell, a radio. For all I know it may not go, But whether it goes or not, you know, It ' s still an “Emerson” radio. 11 . To Johnny Hazen, our Army Boy, A pen to write letters to bring Claire joy, And we all wish all the luck today To the first from the class to join the U. S. A. 12. Bryce Homans, to you I give this chair So when the theatre’s full you’ll have a spare. You may keep “Ginny” by your side, But let your conscience be your guide. 41 13 . To Edward Kamon, a parachute To carry on his airplane route. If he grows tired of aviation, He may jump out to his destination. 14 . To Nick Karaberis, our class machinist, And I am led to believe, one of the keenest, I give this can of oil and hope he knows When to use it and where it goes. 15 . Chester Kirk this little bank might need For he has many jobs, indeed. And when these jobs have led to fame and pleasure May this saving bank help to hold his treasure. 16 . Well, Edward Lezon, I give to you This little Woolworth’s tube of glue To firmly cement the friendship true Between that Junior girl and you. 17 . To Edward Machaj, a studious lad, And one of the smartest the class ever had. I give this blue ribbon to denote a first prize, May he continue to be equally wise. 18 . For Bobby MacKenzie, a toy ballon, Which he may find a use for soon. When in the band his horn needs air, This ballon will furnish the needed share. 19 . George Markos has a high ambition Of some day being a Lab. technician. I present him with this fuzzy rabbit For cutting them up will soon be a habit. 20 . Christos Mourikas is fond of manual toil , Let’s hope his ambition will never spoil. Maybe these tools will fill a desire And push this ambition higher and higher. 21 . Peter Mourikas was formerly known as Pete But a more recent name gave this defeat, This rat I present, a life-sized edition, Reflects on his name, not his disposition. 22 . To Paul Nicholson, our class clown, (We hope in time he may live it down) A self-spraying gun to make him less of a pest And give the Live-Y-Ers. a much need- ed rest. 23 . James O ' Brien, a lad with curly hair, Is popular with girls everywhere. This can of flit he may spray To. keep the feminine crowd away. 24 . Frank O’Malley’s gift I have in this jar, And it’s the thing he likes best, I know by far. It isn’t funny, and it isn’t money, But a whole lot sweeter, and they call it “Honey”. 42 25 . John Onufry gets this portable tent To take to Topsfield where his time is spent. When a homeward ride is hard to get, He may erect this tent and is then all set. 26 . Angelo Pappas, here’s a canoe An appropriate gift for Dottie and you. But when you take her for a ride, Remember the sea rules and lookout for the tide. 27 . Christos Pardikas, a sporting fan, Intends to be a wrestling man. These little trunks should be quite fit To wear in practicing up a bit. 28 . Zygmont Putur receives waterwings. In boat travel they are just the things. If you meet with trouble in your little boat, These waterwings will help to keep you afloat. 29 . To Billy Peatfield, this little mending kit, To use to patch things up a bit. For his brief romance came to a sudden end, But there’s nothing like starting it over again. 30 . Joseph Robishaw, our class athlete. In football was both wise and fleet. I present you with this star of gold A high place in our hearts you hold. 31 . George Senseney’s acting was such a sen- sation That Hollywood should be his destin- ation. This one way ticket will get him there, Let’s hope an “Oscar” will be his share. 32 . Paul Short, who has no use for women, (A date on no account you ' d catch him in) Perhaps will realize from this doll Women aren’t quite so bad after all. 33 . To Pete Stamatakas, best looking of all, Who reigned with two queens at the carnival ball I give this legal Reno decree To free him from the charge of bigamy. 34 . To Edward Sullivan wlhom we feel Should be slightly raised to meet the wheel. I give this pillow so he may sit — And see the road a little bit. 35 . To George Tgavelakos, a dictation book, So he may go off to a quiet nook And practice carefully each shorthand notation; And may his knowledge be of long dur- ation. 36 . To Emerson Wade, a treasure chest, To conserve all things that he likes best And keep therein a “Perley” gem To remind him of his favorite Fern. 43 When I had gathered my gifts in a little pile, Everything around me seemed to smile. And the wishing well in a cheerful way Joined with the birds and flowers to say, “So-long to the boys of ’41 And best of luck to every one.” CLASS WILL B E it remembered that we, the gradu- ating class of 1941 of Ipswich, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testa- ment, hereby revoking all wills by us at any time heretofore made.

Goodhue Arthur Morgan TWO YEAR AWARD Barbara McCormack Ruth Wilson Donald McPhail Joyce Bousley ONE YEAR AWARD Barbara Chapman Joanne Fuller June Bousley Edward Machaj 51 EVERETT ADAMOWICZ Everett, although one of the smaller members of our class, can always be counted on for his bit in any fun, both in school and outside. His cheerful grin is always ready to enliven the school day. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. LAWRENCE ADAMS We don’t hear much from Lawrence, for he. too, is a quiet fellow; but we do know that he goes clam- ming occasionally. He left us the latter part of the year to work in Robinson’s shipyard where we wish him success in his new job. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. CHRISTOPHER ALOUPIS “Doc,” as he is commonly known, is a bright, cheery fellow who can always be counted on for his share of fun, as Miss Manzer will testify. He and “Angy” can almost always be found together, whether it be in school or outside. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. JOHN ONUFRY “Clipper” came to Ipswich High in our sophomore year and made a very welcome addition to the class. Most of his private life is shrouded in mystery, but we do know that he occasionally visits Topsfield and old friends. A. A. 3, 4. 52 ELSIE BAKULA Elsie, our best looking girl, was chosen as the senior candidate for Snow Queen. Although she gener- ally chums around with lower classmen, or rather women, she is popular with her classmates. A. A. 4: Glee Club: Commercial Club: “Best Looking Girl’’: Candidate for Snow Queen. ADRIEN BENJAMIN “Benjy” is our best-dressed boy and well deserves the title. His rollicking laugh and humorous quips have helped much to lighten the worries of the school year. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Celebrity 4. SOPHIE BIES “Herbie,” as she is known to most of us, is one of the quietest members of our class. She is usually seen hustling to get her homework completed. Her time is well occupied during school hours, especially fourth peri- od, when she is a librarian in Study Hall. A. A. 2: Commercial Club 4. FRANK BLUNDA “Hank,” as he is known to his friends, is another quiet member of the class. His hobby, like that of others, is hunting, and he can nearly always be found roaming the woods and fields looking for game. A. A. 1, 2: Shop Club 1. 53 m : JOAN BOUSLEY Joan, who is our class artist, can usually be found in some corner, sketching what is going on around her. Much of her time is also spent bicycling to Hamilton with Virginia. Joan appears quiet, but her merry laugh and fondness for debate belie her dreamy appear- ance. Her naive remarks usually kept those at her table in cafeteria in an uproar. A. A. 2. 3, 4: English Club 2: Latin Club 2, 3; Cub St aff 3, 4: French Club 4; Class Artist. PHYLLIS BURKE “iPhyl” is one of our Rowley members. She is athletic and loves to bowl, skate, and bicycle. Dancing also being one of her favorite pastimes, she never misse.s a “Waltz Club’’ session. She is secretary of the Com- mercial Club and hopes some day to become a real one. Her good ranks and ability to make friends promise a successful career. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; English Club 1; Secretary Commercial Club 4. ROSALIE BURRIDGE The class boasts two vamps this year, Rosalie shar- ing the honor and title with Anne. Rosalie ' s nimble fingers have made many of the ornaments proudly worn by the seniors. She finds time also to wield a tennis racquet and to play with Virginia. A. A. 1, 4; Girls’ Glee Club; Girls’ Choir; Vamp (tie). BARBARA CHAPMAN Barb is a versatile member as one can see by her long list of accomplishments. Her competence and popularity elected her as president her freshman year and as D. A. R. representative in Boston her senior year. Her quiet dignity, her loyal school spirit, and her many achievements have spoken for themselves. A.

He has been our class president for the last two years and, as such, has steered the class through the difficulties of the junior and senior years. He has also spread the fame of 1941 by his prowess in athletics. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; President of A. A. 4; Band 1; Fresh- man numerals 1; Football letterman 2. 3; Varsity Club 2, 3. 4: Secretary Varsity Club 4; Class Vice-pres. 2; President Class 3, 4; Class Celebrity 4. JOHN COMEAU “Jackie,” as he is known far and wide, loves the sea and spends many of his “off” hours puttering around his boat. Since moving in town a few months ago, he has become even more popular with the weaker sex than before. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. ETHEL CROSS Ethel is noted for her dependability. She is a good student and her name is often to be found on the honor roll. Her chief ambition is to be a nurse, and we know that with her patience and calm manner she will make a good one. Beverly has occupied much of her spare time the past year, but she still has found time for extra curricular activities. A. A. 1, 4; Book Club 1 ; Home Economics Club 1 ; Basketball 2 ; English Club 2 ; French Club 4 ; Tiger Staff 4 ; Senior Play Staff. MARY CROSS Mary’s pleasing appearance speaks well for her course in Personality. She is very much interested in domestic science and certainly seems to have the makings of a good cook for someone. In her spare time she usually is walking to town with Lucy or talking over the latest gossip with her friend, Barbara. A. A. 1, 2, 4; Book Club 1; English Club 2; Home Economics Club 1; Basketball 2, 3. 55 JOHN CURTIS “Jackie” was voted our class blusher, perhaps be- cause there is such a wide expanse to cover that a blush shows up better on him than on the rest of us. His merry quips have been a source of much enjoyment to his many friends. He is a sport enthusiast but enjoys skiing in particular. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Cub Staff 3; Science Club 1: Latin Club 2, 3; Football letterman 4; Varsity Club 4. PHYLLIS DOWNING Phyllis’s love of music dominates her life or much of it. She rarely misses an opera broadcast; moreover, she has no mean voice herself as demonstrated by her solo at one of the Sunday afternoon concerts. Although she is reserved, she has a delightful sense of humor, as her intimate friends can testify. During the Study Hall period she was usually sharing Charlotte’s seat and struggling over a Latin assignment. A. A. 1. 2, 3. 4; Home Economics Club 1; English Club 2; Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3, 4; French Club 4. ANNE DRAGONI Anna came to us in our junior year from East Boston and are we glad she did ! Her ready smile has won her many friends both in school and out. Com- mercial Club 4; A. A. 4. ARLINE DUPRAY Arline’s dark hair and sparkling eyes have been the despair of many a male admirer. She is a very good sport and optimistic in outlook. Arline has taken an active part in many class activities including basketball. We hope her ambition to become a nurse will be realized, for we believe that she will make a very charming one. A. A. 1. 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club 1. 2; Girls’ Choir 3, 4; Pres, of Choir 4; Softball 2; Class Treasurer 3; Basketball 2, 4; Tiger Staff 4; Class Day Part. 56 CONSTANCE DUPRAY Connie has always worked hard and been indispen- sable on the many committees on which she has served. We remember particularly the efficient manner in which she handled the ring and prom problems. She and Irma are pals and are usually found together except for the time Connie spends on her own at the corner drug store. A. A. 1. 2. 3, 4; Band drum majorette 1. 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club 1. 2; Girls’ Choir 3, 4; Cub Staff 4; Tiger Staff 4; Commercial Club 4. RICHARD FORD “Fordie” is a cheery fellow, who is always amusing the girls by his antics. He also had the whole class guess- ing when he signed all our handbooks with an “X.” A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman numerals 1; Football letter- man 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Varsity Club treasurer 4. MARY FULLER Mary is our class baby. She and her sister “Joanie” can usually be seen talking with their Rowley friends in the downstairs corridor. She is another of our as- piring artists and designs many of her own clothes. Mary is athletic even though she is one of the tiniest members of the class. The ease with which she does her gymnastics continues to amaze her less limber classmates. Home Economics Club 1; A. A. 1, 2, 4; Basketball 2, 3 ; Glee Club 1 ; Class Baby. MARGUERITE DE GRANDPRE Marguerite is one of our “Firetown” members. With her attractive smile she has won many friends throughout her high school years. Although “Stewie” occupies much of her time, she usually manages to have her assignments well prepared. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Commercial Club 4. 57 BARBARA GRANT Barb is another quiet member of our class. She distinguished herself in her sophomore year by winning a prize for her essay in an Audubon contest. Her work in the cafeteria keeps her quite busy, although she al- ways has time to talk about the army to anyone who will listen. A. A. 1 , 2, 4. DOROTHY GROSS Dot is a very “happy-go-lucky” individual whose friendly manner has won for her many friends of both sexes. She is one of our musicians and numbers both piano and voice among her accomplishments. Recently she has become quite “airminded.” A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4: Cub Staff ; Home Economics Club 1 ; Commercial Club 4; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2; Girls’ Choir 3, 4; Tiger Staff. NATALIE GURYNSKI “Tillie” has proved her qualifications for a secre- tary by her efficiency in the office this year. For relaxa- tion she skates and plays tennis. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Com- mercial Club 4 ; Home Economics Club 1 ; Cub Staff ; Tiger Staff. ROBERT HASKELL “Bobby” is one of our classmates who is very much interested in hunting, especially in Rowley. He also is one member of that “Terrible Trio” of our class, con- sisting of O’Malley, Haskell, and McKenzie. A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4; Band 1,2; Boys’ Glee Club 4; Senior Play Cast; Class Day Part. 58 JOHN HAZEN “Johnnie” is the real ladies’ irnan of the class, our true exponent of the song. “Oh Johnnie.” He was class president our sophomore year and did a creditable job. In the last quarter, he left to join Uncle Sam’s Army and is now a “solder boy.” A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Glee Club 1, 2; Class Treasurer 1; Class President 2; Latin Club 2; French Club 4; Cub Staff 3; Tiger Staff. BRYCE HOMANS Bryce is one of our musicians and toots a mean trumpet. His activities keep him and us literally in the dark, for he is employed as an usher in the Strand Theatre. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3 , 4 . DOROTHY HULL Dot is a striking blonde. Anne and Dotty are her running mates in school hours, and “Vic” is her shadow outside. She was such a good, efficient Czecho-Slovakian maid in the senior play that she was assigned additional tasks which kept her busy the day of the play. Through- out it all she maintained her pere nnial good nature — one of her charming qualities. Home Economics Club: Girls’ Glee Club: Basketball: Senior Play Cast. BETTY JEROME The reason for Betty’s popularity is easy to find, for she has a disposition and [manner that quite live up to her charming appearance. She was always the center of the group in Home Room and much sought after as a dancing partner during cafeteria period. That wistful expression you may occasionally observe may be traced to the fact that she is another of our girls whose heart interest has left to join the army. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4: Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Latin Club 2; Basketball 1; Science Club 1: French Club 4; Class Secretary 3, 4; Tiger Staff: Senior Play Staff; Class Day Part. 59 EDWARD KAMON Eddie, like other members of our class, is particular- ly interested in hunting. He left school in the last quar- ter to go to work and was much missed. A. A. 2, 3, 4. NICHOLAS KARABERIS “Nick” is another of our athletes and always plays well. He aspires to be a boss in the shoe shop where he is now working. A. A. 1. 2, 3, 4; Freshman numerals 1; Baseball letterman 3; Varsity Club 3. ANNA KARMERIS “Gunga Din” is an active member of our class, although she did not join us until our sophomore year. Her principal indoor sport is jitterbugging on a New- buryport dance floor with Ray. She and Janie could always be heard laughing in the corridors. A. A. 3. 4; Girls’ Glee Club 3; Girls’ Choir 4; Commercial Club 4. ANNE KENNEDY Anne is noted for her love of dancing, an art which she has developed almost to the point of profes- sionalism. She is also very fond of bowling and prac- ticed so diligently that she was rewarded with the title of class athlete. Anne’s giggle can generally be heard mingled with the laughter of her companions as they talk over the latest. Her friendliness and humorous sallies make her a welcome member to any group. She played a small but unforgettable part in “Three-Cornered Moon.” A.

She is usually ac- companied by her pal Charlie and together they managed to get a ride home with Mr. Conary every day. A. A. 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1; Cub Staff 3; Home Economics Club 1; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2; Girls’ Choir 3, 4; Book Club 1; Freshman Council; English Club 2; Tiger Staff; French Club 4. CHESTER KIRK As a member of the cast of the senior play, “Pop- eye” with his fainting act had the audience on the edge of their seats. However, the play merely provided him with an outlet for his energies, for he is irrepressible and there is never a dull moment when he is around. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Science Club 1; Senior Play Cast. EVERISTA KMIEC Everista is as quiet as the proverbial mouse and thus earned for herself the title of class saint; however, those who know her realize that beneath a reserved ex- terior she harbors a delightful, quiet humor and an in- dustry that gets her places. Her long dark braids are the envy of her classmates. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2 ; French Club 4 ; Class Saint. JANIE KOZACKI “Yunia” was voted our best-dressed girl. She re- ceived her license to drive a car in her senior year and is very proud to be seen behind the wheel of the green Buick. Dancing is also one of her accomplishments. Anna shares her confidences, judging from the laughs and animated conversations when they are together. Girls’ Glee Club; Commercial Club; A. A.; Tiger Staff; Best Dressed Girl. 61 EDWARD LEZON ‘‘Eddie’’ is a quet, reserved person, who neverthe- less is always ready to contribute his share in any fun. He and Johnny are the best of friends, and where one is found, the other is not far away. However, they became friendly rivals in the last quarter when Johnnie entered the Army, and Eddie, the Navy. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Boys’ Glee Club 1; Latin Club 2. CHARLOTTE LINDGREN Charlotte is usually the animated center of a group of senior girls wherever they may be congregated. She has a quick understanding and appreciative mind that add life and vitality to any class of which she is a ■member. Apparently school work does not suffer from a multiplicity of outside activities in Beverly and Christian Endeavor. With her marked ability and varied interests she should lead an interesting, successful life. A.

CHARLOTTE LYMAN Whenever one sees Charlotte, he can be sure that her friend Barbie will not be far away. In fact they even chose brothers for boyfriends, although Charlie has also quite a freshman following. Charlotte hopes to be a hairdresser, and if her own coiffures are indicative of her talent, she certainly ought to be a popular one. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Book Club 1; Home Economics Club 1; Basketball 1, 2; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2; Girls’ Choir 3, 4. EDWARD MACHAJ “Eddie” is one of the most popular and versatile members of the class, as his record shows. He is editor- in-chief of both the “Tiger” and “Cub” and has done a creditable job in both positions. He also has made a fine record for himself in athletic endeavors, receiving his letter in both baseball and basketball. A.

However, since Sonny is an accomplished trumpet player, he was voted class musician, and already plays in a professional dance orchestra. A.

It is said that Newburyport has an attraction for her where she and Don may often be found trying out the local dance floors. Muriel has been popular and active in school life and is likely to be so wherever she goes. A.

GEORGE MARKOS Although badly hurt when playing high-school football and having spent long months in hospitals, George has persevered and now is graduating with us. His courageous efforts to keep up his school work have won him admiration and many friends. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. BARBARA McCORMACK “Mike” is a trusted member of our class as shown by the fact that she was elected class treasurer. She took her office seriously and if all dues were not paid, it was certainly not her fault. She is dependable in every respect and has a faculty for carrying through whatever she attempts to do. She also made an efficient president of the Commercial Club and in that office successfully engineered one of the most enjoyable socials of the year. Last, but not least, she is the better half of the Class Lovers. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Treasurer 4; Home Economics Club 1; Book Club 1; Softball 1, 2: Vice pres.

She has the distinction of being the only senior to struggle through four years of Latin. She can usually be seen with Joan laughing or arguing over a book. Her dimples and friendly smile may ac- count in part for her popularity. A. A. 1, 2, 4; English Club 2; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Latin Club 2, 3, 4; French Club 4. CHRISTOS MOURIKAS “Count” is another quiet member of the class who does not broadcast his activities to the world. We do know, however, that he and “Coach” are inseparable, and that he is one of Ipswich’s best clam shuckers. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. PETER MOURIKAS By his fine acting in the senior play, “Rat” amazed us, since we never knew that he had such talent. He has also been one of our best athletes and was the -main- stay of the 1940 football team. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Freshman numerals 1; Football letterman 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Senior Play Cast. STELLA MOZDZIEZ Although Stell has the reputation for being quiet, she is often heard ca rrying on lengthy conversations with Nicholson. Or is he making all the noise? Stella’s work keeps her quite busy outside of school, but she and Jacky manage to spend some time together. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Commercial Club 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls ' Choir 3, 4. 64 PAUL NICHOLSON “Paulo” was voted our Class Clown and if anyone deserves that title, he does. His antics have provided us with many smiles for the past four years and have mad: him -many friends. He won his football letter by his perserverance and ability to play well. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Varsity Club 4; Football letterman 4; Class Celebrity 4. JAMES O’BRIEN “Bud,” as he is called, spends most of his school time in the Shop, where he is an expert carpenter. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow whom everyone l ikes. A A. 1, 2, 3; Boys’ Glee Club 3, 4; Baseball letterman 4. FRANK O’MALLEY Frank was a member of the senior play cast, and who can forget him as the efficient Doctor Stevens who finally won Elizabeth Rimplegar? Frank is also very much interested in “Honey” and is one of the frequenters of “Firetown.” A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; President of Glee Club 4; Senior Play Cast 4. IRMA ORSINI “Rusty” is one of our two red-heads with a de- cided partiality for the Coast Guard. She proved her acting ability when she played convincingly the part of Mrs. Rimplegar — a bewildered but likeable mother — in our senior play. Her ease at the “Mike” at the Commer- cial Club Dance exhibited another accomplishment. A.

He hopes to be a test pilct, and since, as he says, nothing is impossible for him, there is every reason to believe that he will realize his ambition. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Football letterman 3, 4; Basketball letterman 4; Varsity Club 3, 4. WILLIAM PEATFIELD “Billy” is a quiet, unobstrusive, fellow, who, nevertheless, excels in basketball and baseball. As one of our first string baseball pitchers, he is a hard worker and is always striving for new curves. We all wish Billy luck in whatever career he chooses, for he certainly de- serves it. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball letterman 3, 4: Basketball Captain 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Vice President of Varsity Club 4; Cub Staff 4; Tiger Staff. BESSIE PECHILIS Bess is a pleasant girl who is fond of dancing. She can almost always be seen on a local dance floor, for she is doing her part in keeping up the family “jitterbug name.” “Bess” has formed an almost inseparable friend- ship with a small chum, “Connie.” A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Commercial Club 4; Girls’ Glee Club 4. CHRISTOPHER PERDIKIS “Coach” is a quiet person whose character belies his nickname. He can’t make up his mind whether to be a reporter or a boxer. Well, best of luck, “Coach.” Only, we hope you don’t decide on boxing until you lose some weight. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. 66 ARLINE PERKINS “Angel” is proof that the old belief that red heads have tempers is false, for we have never seen any signs of one in her. She loves to dance, especially to Bud Killam’s orchestra where “Bob” plays. She can usually be found discussing the latest news with “Mike.” Soft- ball 1, 2; Basketball 1 ; A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4 ; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Treasurer Glee Club 4; Treasurer Com- mercial Club 4; Tiger Staff. DOROTHY PERKINS Dotty is one of the attractive brunettes of our class. She and Anne are a team of jitterbugs whose skill amazes those of us uninitiated in the intricacies of the art. Dot- ty without a doubt, has a future in hairdressing. A.

RUTH PERLEY With her friendly smile and quiet charm, Ruth has made many friends among the members of our class. She is studious and has maintained a very good scholastic record throughout her four years of high school. In spite of her devotion to study, however, she has managed to steal time out to write a note now and then across the aisle. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Economics Club 1; Sec. of Class 2; Sec. English Club 1; Cub Staff 4; Tiger Staff; Sec. French Club 4. DOROTHY PIERCE Dot has a pleasing voice which we have often en- joyed in assemblies. She is interested in basketball, and although she was unable to play her senior year, she maintained her interest by acting as referee. Outside of school Phil occupies most of her time. A.

With Stella, Connie, and Bessie she formed a lively ruartetr? which kept things humming in their vicinity. With all her sprightliness, however, she is a good worker and easily keeps up with her classes. A. A. 2, 4; Girls’ Glee Club 2; Girls’ Choir 3, 4; Vice Pres. Commercial Club 4; Tiger Staff. ZYGMONT PUTUR “Gassy,” as his classmates call him, is a calm, dignified sort of person. We don’t know too much about “Gassy” but we suspect him to be one of our wander- ers, for “still waters run deep.” A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. DORIS RAND “Randy” is a jolly member of our class who, never- theless, takes her work seriously. She has been an in- dispensable member of the office force and deserves much of the credit for the smooth running of the office ma- chinery. The girls taking the attendance have particu- larly appreciated her. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Commercial Club 4. MURIEL RICKER “Tim” is one of the “Waltz Club” enthusiasts and to the best of our knowledge never misses a Thursday night meeting. She can always be counted upon to dispel gloom, a faculty which makes her much in de- mand. especially at “exam” time. Although the boy in the Packard car keeps her pretty busy evenings, late hours never seriously affect her. She is always bubbling over with energy the next day. A. A. 1, 2. 3, 4; Science Club 1; Girls’ Glee Club 1: English Club 2; Latin Club 2: Basketball 1, 2, 3; Tiger Staff. 68 ELLEN RETALIS Ellen is quiet, conscientious, and dependable. She is so quiet that we hardly know she is around, but we should certainly miss her if she were not. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Commercial Club 4; Man-hater. JOSEPH ROBISHAW “Jo-Jo” has been the name affectionately applied to our athlete ever since his football starring days. And how he deserves his title as Class Athlete! Incidentally, “Jo-Jo” can always be found before eight-o’clock on school days outside the study-hall door, where daily tete- a-tetes with Mac are held. A.

GLADYS ROWELL Gladys is another of our members who claim Rowley as their habitat. We know very little of her private life although we understand that the army has its share of it. English Club 1 ; Home Economics Club 1 : English 2; A. A. 1, 2. ROSE SAULNIER Rose is rather quiet in school but makes noise enough singing every Thursday night at the Waltz Club in Rowley. Rose also loves to skate and in season may often be found skimming over the ice on the Ipswich River. Several young men also share a good deal of her time. Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Girls’ Choir 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; English Club 1; French Club 4. 69 FLORENCE SCOTTON Florence’s fragile beauty belies her, for she has proved expert in such strenuous activities as basketball, skiing, and swimming. As mistress of the candy counter during cafeteria period, her gracious manner has sold herself as well as many a bar of candy. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Economics Club 1; Candy Room 2, 3, 4; Senior Play Staff. GEORGE SENSENEY George, sometimes called “Encyclopedia Senseney’’ for short, is one of cur most dignified and erudite pupils whom we shall also remember for his sympathetic por- trayal of the sensitive, idealistic, author in the senior play. He is quite a ladies’ man as “Scit” or Avyce can testify. The class voted him the title of Class Orator, Most Dignified, and Most likely to Succeed. We cer- ainly hope he does. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Tiger Staff; Pres. French Club 4: Latin Club 2, 3; Science Club 1; Senior Play Cast; Class Celebrity 4. PAUL SHORT Paul’s reticence led the class to vote him “Class Woman-Hater.” Although we don’t believe a word of it, the majority must prevail. Paul’s ambition is to be a potato-farmer. My! A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Member Fresh- man Council 1 ; Class Celebrity 4. CONSTANCE SOTIROPOLOS Connie is gifted with a cheerful disposition which her inseparable friend Bess is best able to appreciate. Her naturally curly hair is the envy of all the girls who have to be satisfied with the beauty shoppe variety. Girls’ Glee Club 3, 4 ; A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4 ; Commercial Club 4. 70 PETER STAMATAKOS “Stamy” won the title of “Best Looking Boy” and deserves it, if favor with the girls is any indication. Stamy is best known as a football player and as the hard-working, hard driving president of the Varsity Club. Last year he was one of the leading players on our un- defeated football team and is our only three-letterman. A. A. 1, 2. 3, 4; Treasurer A.

Sully’s ambition is to work on a job which requires a man with a wide- awake personality. He can be seen at his father’s, drugstore jnost of the time, either dispensing Sullivan’s well-known fountain service, or acting as a clerk. A. A. 1. 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Glee Club 1; Science Club 1; French Club 4. GEORGE TGAVALEKOS “Sammy” is a quiet, hard-working fellow, who, during the current basketball season, was one of our leading players. He expects to follow a career in sports, for he intends to be an athletic coach. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball letterman 4; Varsity Club 4. 71 BARBARA VARNEY Barbara is a “Rowleyite.” Those of us who know her will agree that she is spritely and gay in spite of a deceptively serious manner at school. With the possible exception of an errant day or two during the junior year, she has attended to business. She is loyal to her Rowley friends and is usually with them wherever they may be congregated. A. A. 1. 2, 3. 4; Home Econom- ics Club 1; Basketball 2; English Club 1, 2. EMERSON WADE Emerson, usually called “Emmy.” is a hard-work- ing member of our “Tiger” and “Cub” staffs. He seems to be an intellectual giant with a heart of gold. We don’t know much about his private life, but at times he has frequented Salem. Rowley, and a certain portion of Ipswich. Perhaps his ambition is to grow a few inches taller. A.

ALICE WAZ Alice is one who has the good nature usually asso- ciated with a pleasingly rounded figure such as hers. Her smile is of the legended million dollar variety. Her passion for dancing, so we hear, takes her to “Falcon’s” every Wednesday night. Home Economics Club 1 ; English Club 2; A. A. 4; Commercial Club 4. VICTORIA WEGZYN Vicky is a quiet but pleasant member of our class who comes to school every day in the Linebrook bus. She is a very capable member of the cafeteria force and during school hours can usually be found working there. Her private interests remain a mystery, perhaps because she lives so far from town. Home Economics Club 1 : English Club 2. 72 ROSAMOND WEILAND Rozzie is one of those girls who are always the life of the party. Many a morning her laughter has rung out in the senior corner of Mr. Davis’s room. She gave evidence of some ability as an actress in an assembly in which she played the part of a secretary. As a skillful piano player she has been much in demand at social functions. A. A; Candidate for Snow Queen 1; Class Sec. 1; Girls’ Glee Club 1. 3, 4; Commercial Club 4. RUTH WOOD “Woodsie” is one of our most cheerful members, who always emerges complacent and smiling. She has a faithful little pooch called Schnitzel who has followed her to school on occasions. As one of the crazy Rimple- gars she played a leading role in our senior play and de- lighted the audience by her charming appearance and acting ability. An extremely good posture may have been a contributing factor in winning her the title of “most dignified. A.

The team was captained by Carl D’Agnese who, because of removal to Lynn was Robert Amerio. unable to complete the season and was supplanted by Co-Captains Angelo Pappas and Richard Ford. The team did a splendid job as a whole and came through as well as could be expected, considering the tough schedule and the fact that they were not very deep in experienced reserves. During the last two games of the season the team found 76 a new spark in the addition of Bill Smith to their backfield. This gave them a speedy runner to go along with Stan Putur, who, together with Bill Pardekas, 1941 Captain Elect, and Phil Burridge, completed their backfield. The line consisted of Frank O’Malley. Norman Hopping, “Beaver” Retalis, Paul Nicholson, Richard Ford, Angelo Pappas, and Richard Wells. The Ips- wich team lost their opening encounter to a powerful Haverhill High team which had been beaten by Ipswich a year before. After the Haverhill game came successive defeats by Marblehead, North Shore Champions, undefeated Stough- ton High, Reading, and Danvers. Ips- wich broke into the win column in the last two games of the season by up- setting St. James of Haverhill 21 to 0 and then a smashing 38 to 0 win over Manchester High in the finale. A game scheduled with St. John’s High of Dan- vers for November 20 was cancelled be- cause of inclement weather. Other players who saw service were Peter Mourikas, Robert Amerio, John Blake, Lowell Merry, John Curtis, Casey Olds, and a few of the third string players. Basketball 1941 W HEN practice opened in December for the 1940-41 basketball team, there were only two veterans returning. Captain Peatfield and Eddie Machaj. The rest of the squad was composed mainly of sophomores, and seniors, An- gelo Pappas and Sammy Tgavalekos. Ipswich fared well over the season’s route coming up with seven victories in twelve starts. Leading the Ipswich team in scoring were Eddie Machaj and Captain Peatfield, followed by Steve Putur and brother Stan; and then be- hind were the guards Angleo Pappas and Eddie Smorczewski.

Each of the four classes of I. H. S. elected a queen to compete for the title of “Queen of the I. H. S. Snow Carni- val.” The following queens were elect- ed: Senior, Elsie Bakula: Junior, Helen Pickul: Sophomore, Mae Morin: and Freshman, Maud Kellie. Tickets were sold at five cents each- counting one tic- ket as a vote for the candidate whose name appeared on it. Skating events were held on the Ips- wich River, and the winter sports pro- gram was completed with the carnival held at Great Neck which consisted of skiing races, tobogganing, and cross country races. A basketball tournament completed the sporting events. The sophomores won the plaque for sports with a total of one hundred and twen- ty-nine points. The coronation of the queens — for Miss Morin and Miss Pickul tied for the top honors — was an impressive cere- mony staged and directed by Mr. Davis, Mr. Downs, and Mr. Burke. The two queens were crowned by the King, Peter Stamatakas. president of the Varsity Club. Each was awarded a loving cup and the attendants were given gold charms. A ball followed the corona- tion ceremonies which were well attend- ed by the townspeople. The colorful affair was a financial success and has enabled the baseball team to purchase much needed equipment and uniforms. THE SENIOR PLAY O N Thursday April 3, 194L the Class of ' 41 presented as its senior play, a three act comedy entitled “Three Cornered Moon” by Gertrude Tonkon- ogy which proved to be both a dramatic and financial success. The play itself is woven around the Rimplegars, a well-to-do family. In the opening scene we find Elizabeth Rimplegar and her suitor, Donald, with nothing to do but invent complicated methods of committing suicide. The disaster strikes. Mrs. Rimple- gar with no knowledge of the stock mar- ket, sells out the family fortune to a margin broker. Her three sons and her daughter go to work. They are guided by a family friend, Doctor Alan Stevens, and become a real family. Doctor Stevens tries to get Donald to go to work but is unsuccessful. Eliza- beth finally realizes that it is Doctor Stevens that she really loves and re- jects Donald. 79 SENIOR PLAY CAST Front Row (left to right) George Senseney; Irma Orsini; Ruth Wood; Dorothy Hull; Frank O’Malley. Back Row (left to right) Chester Kirk; Peter Mourikas; Anne Kennedy; Robert Haskell. Irma Orsini gave a convincing charac- terization of Mrs. Rimplegar, who us- ually caught on to things days after they actually happened. Her appear- ance in a wrapper with her head swath- ed in a Turkish towel gave the audience considerable amusement at a dramatic point in the play. Laurels go to Ruth Wood who took the feminine lead as Elizabeth Rimplegar, the rich girl, who turned into a hard working girl. Shar- ing the leading roles was Frank O’Mal- ley who successfully assumed a profes- sional manner as Doctor Alan Stevens. George Senseney as Donald wins our praise for his portrayal of the young sensitive writer whose genius was not understood by practical minded people. Chester Kirk as Ed Rimplegar proved his dramatic ability when he fainted so realistically: Peter Mourikas as Doug- las Rimplegar and Robert Haskell as Kenneth created a bit of humor with their barber shop scene, especially Doug ' s 80 colorful pajamas. Dorothy Hull was the maid Jenny, and Anne Kennedy, the frivolous girl friend of Ken’s. We are sincerely grateful to Miss Allen who coached and directed the play with the assistance of Miss Blodgett. Their helpful suggestions, able super- vision, and willing co-operation did much to make the play successful. We are also indebted to Mr. Davis and Mr. Downs who constructed the stage set- tings with the assistance of Joseph Rosishaw, Paul Short- and Peter Stama- takas; to the property managers — Miss Barbara Chapman, Miss Betty Jerome; the publicity managers — Miss Charlotte Lindgren, Miss Ethel Cross; the busi- ness manager — John Hazen; the head usher — Emerson Wade; and Chairman of the candy selling — Miss Florence Scotton; also to everyone who helped in any way to make the senior play an event not soon to be forgotten by our class. CONCERTS T HE musical organizations of I. H. S. presented three Sunday afternoon concerts this year under the direction of Arthur H. Tozer. The first concert, on November 17, was opened by Superintendent o?f Schools, Harry Merson, who greeted the audience, Two splendid vocal solos by Dorothy Gross were well received by the enthusiastic audience. Robert Mac- Kenzie and Bryce Homans played a trumpet duet. Selections by the Glee Clubs, the I. H. S. Band, orchestra, and the alumni band were appreciated. On February 2, the second concert of the season was presented, which featur- ed a fine vocal solo by Phyllis Down- ing and a violin solo by Wilbur Reilly. The third and final concert of the year was given on March 30. As one of its selections the Alumni Band play- ed “Stars and Stripes Forever” which the audience especially liked. A vocal solo by Miss Gross was much enjoyed by everyone and received great applause. Jerome Proctor, well known trombon- ist, was the guest soloist. Ruth Wilson rendered a fine vocal selection and Claire Gallant played a piano solo. The concerts were well attended and greatly enjoyed by parents and friends of the high school pupils. Although the alumni band has suffered from the op- eration of the draft law, it is hoped that a way may be found to continue these concerts. 81 I. H. S.
