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 young men a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in Accounting, Industrial Administra- tion or Marketing and Advertising. Instruction is through lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, motion pictures and talks by business men. College of Engineering Provides for young men complete college programs in Engineering with pro- fessional courses in the fields of Civil, Mechanical (with Aeronautical, and Air Conditioning options) , Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial Engineering. 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.

Before we can Reform the world v ith our young thoughts and deeds And raise our mighty airplanes and our bridges. And lead forth nations, there’s a deeper task. Not of might only, which awaits us each. ‘A little kingdom we possess’ to rule Each in his way, with nobleness and pride Or scorn, indifference.

To make a shining victory. What power! A tiny universe to lead, to build. Build first our lives, and then the world will grow. R. B. W. 16 Literary. THE SINGING FLAME “O folk who scorn my stiff gray gown. My dull and foolish face. Can ye not see my Soul flash down, A singing flame through space. ” — Fannie Stearns Davis tT was a hot June evening in Berlin 1 and the ladies in their stiff crinoline gowns fanned themselves impatiently as they waited for the evening’s concert to begin. The crickets were growing more and more intolerable as they rang so persistently. It was with great disap- pointment that at length the ladies and gentlemen saw the singer approach the platform and sit down at the piano to play. She had a plain, almost dull face and her gown was nothing to admire: prob- ably it was last year’s second best, for there was an unfaded place where the bustle had been removed. The bored ladies wished that they had attended the governor’s ball instead of complying with that homely young Hans Ander- son’s insistence that they support the “Swedish Nightingale. Nightingale, was she? Well she was home — . Suddenly Jenny Lind began to sing! She lifted her well-formed head higher and opened her lips with a smile that spread over her whole countenance. There was a joy in her eye and a grace in her body as she sang so clearly and sweetly the soaring Aria from Geor- dani’s Lost opera. As she reached the cadenza on high G, even the crickets seemed to stop their breathing to drink in the rapture of that voice — . How often we are like the self-satis- fied ladies of that concert-hall! Our eye immediately sizes up a person without waiting for the opinion of the other four senses, or of that innate spiritual sense. I cannot help but recall the experience that a friend of mine told: I was hurrying to the Grand Cen- tral Station in a taxicab. How pro- voked I was that a half-pint girl should have the gall to hail our speeding cab! I was more provoked yet v hen the driver actually stopped for her, though he knew that I was in a hurry to catch my train. Reluctantly, I moved over to give the girl room. If she had been a man, I shouldn’t have tried to seem polite. I hardly noticed her except that she had dark, stringy hair and a French ap- pearance: I kept my eyes glued to the scene of passing traffic outside of my windov . At least she told the driver to stop. I happened to notice that she alighted outside of the Metropolitan Opera House. Promptress , I thought. 17 “When the driver had started again he told me, ‘That was Lily Pons!’ Beautiful singing voices are not the only spirituelle qualities that are hidden by exterior plainness. In a little town in the Adirondacks is a shed-like build- ing where an old carpenter lives. Every day last summer I used to pass his dwelling as I walked to the spring for water. He was amusing to me at first, an old codger with whom it was inter- esting to ruminate about the weather, and I learned from him an interesting sign: “When birds fly low over the lake, it is going to rain.’’ One day I discovered that he could discuss topics other than the rain. “Do you know.’’ he said, “I was homesick v hen I first had to give up my teaching position in the city, but now I’ve come to love this country region so that I could never leave it.’’ There was a light in his eyes, a gleaming, joyful intelligence. “Have you ever thought that our Creator meant every one of us to enjoy country life?’’ I confessed, stupidly, that I hadn’t. “I am going to have some company next week,’’ he continued, — “some folks from the city. Will you help me to show them the glory of the Adiron- dacks?’’ We could all name numerous “camouflaged” souls — the hump- backed speaker who can fascinatingly recount the histories of every carillon in the United States; the schoolmate with the frayed shirt and patched trousers who we have found can paint scenes to rival those of Maxfield Par- rish. Therx:,.is another stanza to Fannie Stearns Davis’s poem “Souls” that is very appropriate to quote: “And folks, whose earth-stained looks I hate. Why may I not divine Your Souls, which must be passionate. Shining, and swift, as mine?” —Ruth Wilson ON LYING AWAKE AT NIGHT “There is an hour when leaves are still, and winds sleep on the wave; When far beneath the closing clouds the day hath found a grave; And stars that at the note of dawn begin their circling flight. Return like sun-tired birds, to seek the sable boughs of night.” W HEN this hour of night has come and all living creatures are silenced, the whole world sleeps — but me. At this hour of repose, although my body may be exhausted, my mind is lucid and active like a pert little imp, untouched by sleep, who wishes me to keep him company. This mischievous elf has compelled me to be a partner in his night ramblings ever since I first be- came acquainted with him. Since that time, my mind and I have traveled far and wide on the wings of night. We are a happy pair and accomplish wondrous deeds in the course of the night. 18 But it was not always like this, for at one time my hobgoblin and I were on bad terms. He tortured me with terrifying imaginings: he cared not for my tender years. Lurking in the wall next to my bed was a hand armed with dagger fingernails (a result of seeing a motion picture called “The Cat’s C law”). How I wished my bed was in the middle of the room away from the clawing hand. But there I would be near the stairway upon which some- thing, frightening in its dreadful possi- bilities, was coming — -to judge from the creak and groan of the steps. And all over my bed gloomy specters danced joyously — mocking me! There I lay, alone with the terror of the night, with only my nose unpro- tected (the bed clothes were drawn up to my nose and my pillow served as a helmet). I could hear the peaceful breathing of my sisters and envied their untroubled minds. I would block my ears to shut out such sounds and anxiously snatched at “the skirts of sleep.” At times the suspense of pending dangers would be- come too much for my equanimity, and with sudden temerity I would take a flying leap from my bed, dash across the floor, regardless of obstacles, and into my mother’s bed. Ah, night with its gaunt shadows suggestive of all name- less dreads was my enemy. Although I suffered from these gloomy accompaniments of night, I think the time I most regretted having a sleepless mind for a bedfellow was one night before Christmas. As usual, I was awake following my airy comrade as he led me from one thought to an- other. Far into the night we had stray- ed when suddenly I heard a sound near the stockings which my sisters and I had hung up for Christmas. Then I knew who was making the noise — it was Santa Clause! I was panic stricken! Steeped in the lore of childish fables, I realized that if Santa saw me awake he would leave only a bundle of sticks in my stocking. I pretended to be asleep ,and the jolly old fellow was none the wiser; for after his footsteps died away, I investigated my stocking, and could tell by its shape that riches awaited me on the morrow. However, as I grew older, my elfin mind found that it could no longer entertain me in our nocturnal wander- ings with such airy or morbid fancies; I demanded happier fare for thouht, and, being of a managerial nature, I got my way. It was then that we became such good friends, for when my mind promised to give me something pleasing to think about I was only too ready to follow his footsteps. Together my mind and I merrily pursue an erratic course. It is really incredible, the space we cover and the things we accomplish. In one night many a mile of imagined knitting have I accomplished: and if a letter should have been written during the day, im- mediately it is mentally composed, signed, and sealed before I drift into ' sleep; in fact, this very essay has been 19 . written and rewritten, in my mind in the path of many a night’s ramble. We even travel back into the past where we are amused by humorous memories. But wherever we wander the path is danger- ous, for around each corner of a thought lurks a prickly worry. To avoid these rude fellows, my mind detours to thoughts of books — the most friendly paths of reflection. Thus I have found that lying awake is really delightful, for if I can. not sleep, I can at least “night”-dream. — Joyce Bousley CHOATE BRIDGE Low in the river bed the old man kneels To see his wrinkled image in the flow Of crinkling, blackish water-whirls below ; The stores are clustered at his head and heels.. How stiff and out-of-date he feels; His arching, aching back is bending low. What varied travel he’s supported, though. Hoofs, feet of Washington, and wheels. But even now when wider roads we need Than his so narrow back for modern pace E’en speedsters slacken reckless rate to heed The sturdy grandeur of his ancient face; He is our country’s patriarch alone Her oldest of arch bridges built of stone. — Ruth Wilson EALSE SPRING A crocus in March, Early March; Lifting its long neck our of the dead Grasses, Peering to see Endless, thrilling sky, A singing blue. Where once were bonds of white, A river flowing Black, black. Gurgling with joy in its throat; And one white seagull. Dazzling white Poised against liquid ebony. Green, green. The traces of grass in the field; Oh, sweet, sweet. The first Robin’s note; And bare, bare, Children ' s emancipated legs Jumping a rope; 20 But the next morning A buried crocus, A closed-in sky, Grey slush. Long stockings, A stiff, cold Robin. — Ruth Wilson NIGHT HAS A CLOCK OF HER OWN Night has a clock of her own With minutes of beech leaves and crickets’ wings And now and iKen a far-off owl’s cry; And the hours slither slowly away, in the darkness. But when morning approaches, Time leaps fast; For a raucus cock ' s crow Tells us at last. — Ruth Wilson 21 Graduation Essays OUR RELATIONS WITH LATIN AMERICA By Arthur F.. Morgan I N the midst of the chaotic world state and the harsh conflict of stub- born forces, it is comforting to note the peaceful, willing cooperation that dom- inates our Pan American Conferences and to learn that people have not for- gotten how to be friendly and kind with each other. This spirit of coop- eration has ' not sprung up overnight, but only by careful attention and tender nursing has it been cultivated. We must be on guard lest our newly-developed seedling be trampled by our old habits and trade methods. There is an urgent necessity to keep this seedling growing and multiplying so that our system of government may be firmly established. Our progress so far has been comparatively small; our Southern neighbors are hesitant and dubious in their relations with the United States, still remembering the “Yankee imperialism” and the “dollar diplomacy” that held such dominating sway over the markets in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and still mis- trusting as they comply. The foremost reason for promoting better relations with Latin America is the securing of more harmonious ac- cord and, ultimately, real and lasting peace. In each of the Pan American conferences a greater harmony has been shown: a true desire for peace has been the spur, urging a united effort to out- law war and aggression, substituting in their place arbitration and friendliness. In the fast-gathering clouds of war where all countries seek to strengthen themselves by alliances and buffer coun- tries, it is significant that we should try to make friends with the Latin Ameri- cans, to remain on a scale of equality with them. We need to make them feel that they are an integral part of our life and that their affairs arouse con- siderable concern in the United States. Now in this war-torn world, with ocean lanes and commercial ties smashed, we need urgently the economic cooperation of our Southern neighbors as well as sympathetic understanding. Our trade with Europe was shattered just as was Latin America’s. This fact should bring closer relations and greater dependence upon each other. Each country is confronted with the same problems — where to sell her products? where to find sources of raw material? how to develop these resources for future trade? Economic cooperation will never be attained unless we destroy the little nationalism that every coun- try, yes, even the United States, has so selfishly built up. Tariff barriers will 22 have to be razed, and the spirit of pro- tection must be crushed and destroyed forever. With the death of these age- old pirates, and the birth of reciprocal trade treaties, free trade in the Western Hemisphere and even throughout the world will not be far off. No longer shall we need to use our diplomatic staff and government pres- sure to force our surplus products on Latin America. No longer will Latin America be a good field for rich profit and exploitation. But with the advent of this new internationalism, we shall enjoy enduring prosperity and happi- ness together. But the most important need which must be present if both economic coop- eration ,and hemispheric solidarity are to be successful is a closer understanding between the Latin Americans and the people of the United States. The ruler of each country must have public opin- ion behind him because diplomatic con- tracts and international agreements cannot be terminated successfully if the people of the countries do not agree on their compromises. We must let the cultural forces of Latin America have free play so that we may have a har- mony of spiritual aims and a practical unity of resources. If these two ob- jectives are achieved, the perfect union of people, cultures, and trade relations will be in sight. The best way to pro- mote our Good Neighbor Policy is to act neighborly and to get acquainted wfth our neighbors. Through the ex- change of literature we may become better acquainted with our Latin Ameri- can brothers. Only an intimate know- ledge of their desires, shortcomings, successes, and failures and everything else that describes them as real human beings will make the Latin Americans seem more human and alive. Many impediments have fallen in the path of Pan American progress. We have tripped over tariffs, we have stumbled over imperialism, and we have often been entangled with disputes and revolutions. Some of these impedi- ments were the direct results of our foreign policies; others were unavoid- able. But we must assume the blame for kindling the hatred that has burned against us for many years. We have allowed our mad ambition and lust for wealth and power to obscure our con- science while dealing with trade in ruthless, cunning ways. We have looked on our Southern neighbors only as good prospects for exploitation. We have disregarded them as a cultural or in- telligent people; we have considerd them ignorant and crude, fit only to be dominated and swindled; our only in- terests were benefiting our own busi- nesses and amassing great fortunes from the Latin American market. The main obstacle to Pan American- ism is found in the corrupt practices that we employed to sell our products at high prices and to crowd out any competition. We have exploited their resources and have persistently held the Latin American market in our powerful autocratic hold. If competition or ill- 23 feeling built up against us by their countrymen reduced our sales, we forced their sales by bringing government pres- sure to bear on the delinquent country. This policy whereby the government pushes our commercial relations is called “dollar diplomacy.” This policy cost us many years of strained relations and slow recuperation. Through our blunders in the past, however. United States merchants may profit and may in the future enjoy better business relations and more friendly connections with the people to our South. Besides combatting the effect of our earlier business methods with Latin America, it was necessary to hew down the tariff barriers which had so insidi- ously grown from the protection of immature, struggling industries to the huge levies to insure big businessmen that they would receive no competition from outside nations. Once any na- tion’s products are overcharged at the customs, it will immediately retaliate with a higher tariff. Imports dropped as nearly every country made a tariff to keep out every other country and to encourage the plan of self-sustaining. Under this plan, a country would not only try to supply all her own needs, thus shutting off all imports but would try to sell her surpluses on the foreign markets. This system, of course, could reap nothing but bitter hate for all the countries who taxed imports so high that it would be ridiculous to try to sell to them. Since the United States was the biggest country in the Western Hemisphere with a reputation of fabulous profits reaped from trade, we were the center of their hate and abuse for so unscrupulously restraining foreign trade. The bitter memories of those times will require an enormous amount of good will to counteract the jealous hate for the American business- man. Our early trade relations and our duels with tariff barriers are of little importance compared to the tremendous obstacle we find in the internal affairs of the Latin American countries and their inter-relationships. Each of these countries has built up a nationalism that is identical in all of them. Their conflicting ideas and policies have left violent jealousies and bitter hatreds so that instead of twenty countries living in peace and harmony our first Pan American Conference found many sul- len and unwilling to confer with their neighbors. This scheduled Pan Ameri- can Conference was postponed because of a boundary dispute which started a minor war. (Ironically enough, the purpose of this conference was to dis- cuss ways and means of preventing wars.) This national jealousy has obstructed many of the Pan American resolutions. It was this spirit which we ha d to overcome before any real progress could be made toward further unity and cooperation of American nations. Our Good Neighbor Policy instituted by President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull broke down this 24 last barrier that for so long had kept nations apart. Although our progress in Pan Americanism started rather slowly, it has gained momentum with each con- ference. We have been converted from a nation which believed in taking ad- vantage of every other nation, exploit- ing its resources, and abandoning any enterprise that involves any risk, to a country which treats smaller countries as equals, which helps them with their problems, and which offers protection from any aggressive force. The bit of progress we made was in gathering the representatives of the different countries and actually working out recommenda- tions of paramount importance. The first few conferences pioneered in liberal plans for hemispheric union. An arbitration commission, where all dis- putes between countries were to be settled, and a Pan American Customs Union, which would start the flow of trade again, were among the many plans the conference evolved. But the old feelings of nationalism prevented every nation from signing the adoptions. Later the Latin American countries realized their danger from European nations if they failed to support these measures. The Drago Doctrine was the first result of a unified effort of a Con- flerence. Everyone agreed to its im- portance and its creed. Under the Drago Doctrine no nation could collect its debts by force of arms unless the debtor refused to arbitrate. This pleased our Southern neighbors, and when we stopped German and British gunboats from taking over Venezuela to collect loans, they were delighted at the way we dispersed them. Another conven- tion resolution which met with much approval was the Non-intervention Policy. We supported this to the nth degree because we wanted no other nation acquiring a foothold in Latin America, and to prevent it we assumed the responsibility of foreign property. These two resolutions which we have assumed to be a part of international law have helped to drive out the mem- ories of our imperialism of former years and in the first two decades of the twentieth century our business with Latin America increased 500 per cent. This false prosperity was due, however, to the recession of European countries w ' hich were preparing for the World War. During this period we augmented our position substantially; we became better acquainted with the people, and they were friendlier toward us than ever before. These friendly ties helped defeat the Europeans when they strove for their old markets and for our new business. Britain and Germany sought to repel us by false propaganda, by dis- crediting our goods, and by taking advantage of the uneducated people. But the reputation built up during the early part of the century and the added impetus given at the Pan American Conferences defeated their purpose. We really won over many dubious Latins in the Havana Conference be- cause Calvin Collidge, the first president 25 who deemed the conference of so great importance that he attended it person- ally. and Charles Lindbergh went to allay the fears of the Latin Americans against the growth of another imperial- ism. Their attendance strengthened our position and dispelled all fears of us. The advent of the Good Neighbor Policy exorcised the last vestige of hate and imperialism. The institution of our Good Neighbor Policy was simul- taneous with the inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt. In his opening message he allayed the fears of Latin America with a declaration of our in- tentions: we would seek no more land, wc would not force sales by dollar diplomacy, and we would not interfere with the internal affairs of any country. Further evidence of our receding im- perialism was the abolishment of the hated Platt amendment and the planned liberation of the Philippines. Roose- velt made a special trip to Buenos Aires in 1936 to assure the Peace Conference that “America will protect the hemisphere from all aggression. This precedent of an American administra- tion supporting so ardently a Pan American Conference was very pleasing to Latin Americans. The one device, however, that has done more for encouraging friendlier relations than doctrines and protection is the reciprocal trade treaty which was proposed by Cordell Hull together with his broad interpretation of a clause in the Smoot Hawley Tariff. This tariff was originally designed to raise duties. This clause allowed the President to raise or lower concessions on the goods of another country if we received similar concessions from that country. So we made treaties with each country reducing greatly the import levies and simultaneously the bitter feling against us. The industries of South America are booming now that the United States market is open and our war pro- gram calls for increased production. The people of Latin America are in sympathy enough with us to drive out enemy spies and break relations with our enemies, and the sympathy is a direct result of reciprocal trade. New, through the efforts of Cordell Hull, Sumner Wells, and other pro- gressive statesmen, the United States enjoys a closer harmony of governemnt, business ,and friendship with the people of nearly every country in Latin Ameri- ca than any other nation has ever re- ceived. As time goes on, more people are being converted to Pan American unity and cooperation which will prob- ably blossom into a Western Hemisphere coalescence. But significant is the example to the world of what can be done when sincere peoples unite to ad- just their differences and to work to- gether for their mutual benefit. 26 1. H. S. IN CIVILIAN DEFENSE By James Olds O protect a nation ' covering such a 1 large area and with such a coast as our own requires more than the en- listed armed forces and therefore de- pends upon the civilians of each and every town and city. These civilians must sacrifice time and effort to help make our shores safe from invasion. In view of the necessity of large numbers in these Civilian Defense Organizations it was found that many of the working people could not give their time without disrupting their business. The next available group of people to fill in in these jobs were the high school students of our country. In this town of Ipswich the degree to which the students of the Ipswich High School have offered their time and dispensed with their pleasure is grati- fying. When the army asked Mr. Conary, as a past leader of the American Legion, to organize an Observation Post in this section he sought contacts with all the townspeople to find out who could give and would give their time until the end of the war in organizing an Army Observation Post. The response was great but the number needed was greater. He then went to the students of our high school and requested many of them to volunteer to assist as ob- servers or plane spotters. Although to discourage quitters and whiners he made the picture as black as he possibly could without exaggerating, the response which the pupils made was amazing. Through the cold of winter and the rains of spring, while several of the older people dropped off for sickness or various reasons, the students of the Ips- wich High School have continued to do their part. Of the two hundred ob- servers and spotters now affiliated with the local Army Observation Post, over fifty of them are high school students. To be a plane spotter or an observer is by no means a simple job. One must be constantly on the alert with one’s eyes and ears straining for signs of planes. To do this task most effi- ciently it is necessary for each spotter to determine by hearing or by sight, the number of planes, the number of motors of each plane, and the direction the planes are flying. From the time that the planes are spotted to the time that all this information is sent into the Filter Center not more than ten seconds should intervene. This takes coopera- tion and quick thinking. The largest number of high school students in any one Civilian Defense Organization, as compared with the whole, is enrolled in the Messenger Corps. The duty of these messengers is to keep the Air Raid Warden, to whom they are assigned, in constant touch with the local Report Center. In case all other means of communication fail, the responsibility rests on their shoulders. 27 In case of an actual air raid these Jobs should prove very dangerous; therefore, only quick-thinking, reliable, cool-headed people are enrolled. With quick thinking and reliability stressed in high school it is no wonder our stu- dents are gladly accepted as messengers. About fity per cent of the messengers arc now high school students. Another vital contribution of the Ipswich High School to the war effort was evidenced in the Defense Bond and Stamp Campaign. When the Treasury Department of our country started to organize a pledge campaign in this town, the newspapers printed an an- nouncement to the effect that all those who wished to volunteer as canvassers in this campaign would meet at the town hall on a given evening. When the evening arrived, at least one-fourth of the volunteers who responded to the call were high school pupils. Asking for money is never an en- viable job and this interviewing of people for the purpose of eliciting pledges to buy bonds was no exception. Patience, tact, and courtesy were only a few qualities of character which the job demanded in order to make plain the necessity of these pledges. The pupils rose nobly to the demands made upon them and completed the task success- fully. Some of the students, however, not content with just helping, took a bigger share of the responsibility by becoming section captains. Besides ac- quiring pledges themselves they had to see that their helpers had their share done at the given time. After this they had to compile for their section a report which was to go eventually to Washington. There v, ' ' ere many head- aches among the captains at that time, but nevertheless they had the satisfac- tion of performing well their bit in the cause of freedom. Th: students in the industrial arts division have shown their ability and at the same time have contributed a large share to defense work. In the first place they constructed twelve stretchers for the Red Cross, thereby saving monye for more needful uses. The Report Center of the Civilian De- fense Organizations of this town is now situated in a section of the high school that has been converted from a store room. After partitioning the room off and laying a new floor the boys made telephone report booths. While the shop boys were doing the construction work, the print shop printed four different application forms for various Civilian Defense Organizations. Al- together this year the shop division has done most of the construction and a good deal of the printing for the Town of Ipswich in its defense program. Furthermore the Ipswich High School boasts students in every Civilian Defense Organization to which they are permitted to belong. We have mem- bers in the Convoy Corps, the First Aid Classes, the State Guard, the Adminis- tration Office, and we even have an assistant Air Raid Warden. 28 The students feel very proud to be able to help win this war of freedom. Many of them having obtained some training in the Civilian Defense Or- ganizations have joined the armed forces and have found themselves much better off for the time that they sacrificed :o these units. We now have six young men from this year’s class in the armed service. The students feel that by helping in Civilian Defense they are helping themselves to become better citizens in the best country in the world, the United States of America. POETRY, A LINE OF DEFENSE By Ruth Wilson A ll nations at war eventually come to play the fascinating game of rationing. It is a hard game, but every- one starts on an equal footing and shares the same handicaps until the play is over. It is a fascinating game, for everyone must take part and feel the sense of unity which comes from par- ticipating in a crucial contest. More- over, rationing serves as a kind of intricate census by which the govern- ment can discover how many aunts, sons, fathers, daughters, etc. there are within its boundaries. The government can also compile statistics about height and weight so that newer, more accurate charts, founded upon the supposition that all men are created equal, can be hung in classrooms to show pupils how much they should weigh at a given age. Every day we hear of some new product which the government is likely to restrict for public use. When we think of the possibility of giving up our afternoon tea, we wonder if some- thing such as poetry will not be the next victim. Perhaps people are read- ing too much poetry, using up valuable eyesight and time. Rationing of poetry could be made according to the weight of brain divided by the average number of poems enjoyed per month, or some other such method. Seriously, however, we realize that poetry is as necessary to the defense of national morale as submarines are to the protection of our naval forces. William Rose Benet, a critic and a poet himself, has written, “We have had to face the facts with bitter realism, and we realize that against a malign foe . . . nothing will avail so much now as airplanes and armored equipment. But we also know that in the end, nothing will avail so much for the world as dedicated art and the power of the intellect ... It is up to the poets to give us some real light and leading.” For an overexerted na- tion bending over factory tables for longer hours every week needs the illumination of a poet’s insight to paint the true picture of the Goal for which the muscle-aching labor is given. Understandably enough, then, of all the phases of the last war it is the poetry that we like to remember and still enjoy, rather than the battered tanks, and mangled bodies, the burning cities and the barbed wire, or even the Ver- 29 saillcs Treaty and other “practical phases of the war. It is the poetry that is immortal, for it lifted the world above the grim heartbreak and showed a Purpose and a Future. A young Englishwoman, Sylvia J. Read, recently tried an experiment of reading poetry on various subjects, in- cluding the war, to soldiers in British camps. She approached the first such reading with not a few qualms that poetry and soldiers do not mix, but every selection was applauded. Some soldiers shyly produced verses of their own; many of them entered into lively discussion about poetry: one of them told her that the experience had been “more real than living”: and all re- quested certain favorites of the other world war to be read. Unfailingly, Rupert Brooke’s sonnet. “The Soldier”, was among the first to be requested. This sonnet was written shortly before the young tennis champion with all of a vigorous life before him, died of fever on the journey to the Dardanelles Campaign of 1914. “If I should die. think only this of me: That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust con- cealed : A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware. Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England’s, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away. A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given: Her sights and sounds: dreams happy as her day: And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness. In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.” There were two other equally-loved poems written also by soldiers of World War I who died in action but left their verses to inspire and soothe their com- rades and the rest of the world. John McCrae, a young Canadian Lieutenant- Colonel, challenged the living to carry on the cause of the valiant dead in “In Flanders Fields”. “Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high.’ ' Alan Seeger was a young American soldier who died on Independence Day, 1916, in a battle in France. He tells us; 30 “I have a rendezvous with Death, At some disputed barricade When Spring comes round with rust- ling shade And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous”. These are only three short lyrics of a host of poetry that we like to remem- ber from the first world war. In the same way, in decades to come, when the last bomb of this w ar has exploded and even the gallant defense of the Philippines is a paragraph in a history book, there will be poems to be remembered and loved by future genera- tions. V e cannot predict, of course, which poets will survive, for m.yriads of them are as yet unwritten: but we can investigate the position of the poets today, surmise what is uppermost in their minds, and admire those verses which seem to us the most inspirational. Military life today, especially in the fighting zones, is keyed to such a high pitch of watchfulness that little “tom- foolery” or poetry is countenanced. Nevertheless, few poets enter the service with the thought of utterly neglecting the art. They somehow manage to find a spare moment to write down the poems that come to them. Whether at home or in active service, the poets are producing more poems than usual. Be- cause of an acute paper shortage, there is a minimum of books being published in England, but statistics show that there is nevertheless an increasing num- ber of volumes of verse going to the press! Poets are not immune to discourage- ment. In fact, they feel sadness much more acutely than ordinary individuals. Yet when they allow themselves to in- dulge in writing sombre, disheartening verses when their mission is bringing light to a war-sad world, they cease to become a line of defense, and take the shape of something almost subversive. Sad to say, there are poets today who indulge in writing bewildered poetry. In this January’s “Atlantic Month- ly” there was printed a poem called “Dedication” which John Buxton, an English prisoner in a German prison camp, rote to his bride back in England. He recounts again their favorite haunts, watching the wild geese; tells her that the poetry is all he has to send her; and he remembers bit- terly the “High-sounding names (Peace and Lib- erty) that flaunted on our banners.” Another example of the discourage- ment among poets was a manuscript found under unique circumstances. A Norwegian sailor wrote a letter in poetry form to his wife and threw it sealed in a glass bottle into the North Atlantic shortly before the ship sank from torpedo wounds. A Erench- Canadian fisherman found the bottle weeks later somewhere off Newfound- land and sent it to the Government of Canada. The poem, translated into English, shows the author’s despair that a sailor’s life is merely food for an in- satiable sea. He urges his wife to take his pay, his parents, and to forget him 31 by firding another husband since he exists no more. The last lines show a touching homesickness. He tells his wife to say goodbye for him to the fjords that he loved, in Norway. Recently there was published in Lon- don a volume “The Best Poems of 1941“ in which appears another exam- ple of the perplexed mood which many poets arc experiencing. The following fragment is taken from the longer poem “The War God“ by Stephen Spender: “Why cannot the one good, Benevolent, feasible, Final dove descend? And the wheat be divided? And the soldiers sent home? And the barriers torn down? And the enemies forgiven? And there be no retribution? But not all the poets are immersed in doubt and despair! Many of them have already given the world some real “light and leading”. Often their courage springs from the blackest ex- periences. A new English poet was able to write the following lines during the dark days of 1 940 : “My God, I thank Thee that my course is set with others of Thy choosing, at this hour; to see the right discerned, the challenge met, and battle given to the evil power; to share the upward thrusting to the light; and all the grandeur of the stony ways;” Undoubtedly flying in the Royal Canadian Air Force seems but a mechanical accomplishment to many aviators. But to John Gillespie Magee, the 19-year-old son of an English mother and a clergyman of Washing- ton, D. C., it was another thrilling experience in the adventure called life. Young Magee had been offered a sub- stantial scholarship at Yale upon com- pleting his secondary education at Rugby, England, and Connecticut. Having been promised that the scholar- ship would wait for him, he chose to enlist in the air corps last spring. In his spare moments he continued to write poetry, including the following inspir- ing sonnet: “Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silver- ed wings: Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds — and done a hun- dred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov ' ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, 32 Where never lark, or even eagle, flew; And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space. Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.” On last December eleventh, John Magee died in action with the Royal Canadian Air Force. His fame, how- ever, was born when this poem, which he had written to his parents, was cir- culated among friends. The poem has been quoted in numerous editorials throughout this country; Merle Oberon is reading it impressively at the per- formances of the Hollywood Victory Caravan, and Archibald MacLeish, the Librarian of Congress, has ranked it with Rupert Brooke’s “The Soldier” and John McRae’s “In Flanders’ Fields.” Undoubtedly the most inspiring poem produced as yet in this war was written by Mr. A. A. Milne of London. Our generation knows him as the whimsical creator of inimitable child- ren’s classics “W!innie-the-Pooh” and “The House at Pooh Corner” as well as several volumes of verse about the per- sonified teddy bear. Pooh, who went hunting heffalumps with Piglet, discov- ering the North Pole with Christopher Robin, or just had a little honey and a hum to himself such as “The more it snows, ftiddle-y-pom) The more it goes, (tiddle-y-pom ) The more it goes (tiddle-y-pom) On snowing; But no one knows (tiddle-y-pom) How cold my toes, (tiddle-y-pom j How cold my toes (tiddly-y-pom) Are growing!” Another favorite poem by Mr. Milne begins “Christopher Robin Had wheezles And sneezles, They bundled him Into His bed. They gave him what goes With a cold in the nose. And some more for a cold In the head.” Our parents know Mr. Milne as the author of several plays, written in the style of James M. Barrie, “The Dover Road,” which our own Parish Players have produced, “The Truth About Blayds,” and “Mr. Pym Passes By”. But in May, 1941, the world began to know an older Mr. Milne as an in- spirational poet. While London was being mercilessly raided and Britain was as discouraged as possible, all the newspapers could do was scream the gruesome details and the newsreels mere- ly pictured the grim horror of the destruction. But the “Man-who-wrote Winnie-the-Pooh” sat on the doorstep of his ruined home and wrote the fol- lowing lines which show his faith that, although the man-made buildings are destroyed, and even if England herself were to be defeated, the God-ordained way of life will always emerge victori- 33 ous. Poetry such as this is one of our greatest lines of defense in the wracking experiences of war. Old London’s time-encrusted walls Are but the work of human hands. What man has fashioned for us falls, W hat God has breathed into us stands. W hat if the splendor of the past Is shattered into dust? We build A monument that will outlast Even the Abbey’s span of days. On broken homes we plant our feet And raise proud hearts that all may see. Immortal in each little street, The soul in its integrity.” Class Day Parts. CLASS HISTORY By Jane Dolan W E, the Class of 1942, after sailing through four years of happy high school life are now about to leave the portals of Ipswich High, ready and willing to face the somewhat uncertain and complicated world of today. We entered our freshman year in 1938 with the usual carefree appearance and nonchalant smiles that hid the con- fusion and fear which we really felt as we looked at the many busy and con- fident faces about us. Many embarrass- ing incidents, however, such as finding ourselves in the wrong classrooms, dropping bottles of milk in the chool cafeteria, and wilting under the patron- izing smiles of the upper classmen. gradually subdued us and we settled down to work in earnest. We became better acquainted with our teachers and our fellow classmates: we learned that algebra was quite different from grade school arithmetic: and some of the more hardy souls attempted to wrestle with the difficulties of the Latin language. In due time we were initiated into the intricacies of parliamentary law when we held our first class meeting. We chose Charles Goodhue, Philip Bur- ridge, Ruth Wilson, and Arthur Mor- gan as our class officers for the year and were firmly launched on our journey through high school. During our freshman year, the ancient history class went to Boston to explore the museums, and although Mrs. Lord ' s chief desire was to interest the party in classic relics, our ancient history explorers found the sight of a pickled gorilla much more enticing. In March some members of our class, also under the tutelage of Mrs. Lord, attended the annual flower show. Someone — it must have been Cruik- shank — remarked on viewing the model of the monastery garden, “It’s too bad that they build such nice little benches for two and then let only the monks use them.” Betty Scott and others went to a cafeteria for lunch and won- dered why the service was so slow. In September of 1939, we again 34 entered the doors of IpSv dch High as wordly-wise sophomores. We decided that during this year we would be governed by class meetings instead of by a student council as in our freshman year. Our leaders this year were Charles Goodhue, Philip Burridge, Wendell Hill, and Marjorie Pierce. The sophomore Latin class made history when they attempted a recon- struction of Caesar’s bridge on the river behind the school. Ruth Bailey dis- covered, to her dismay, that although the bridge held up slender Wendell Hill, it collapsed under the added straw of her weight. At the close of the year, some mem- bers of our class were perhaps a little too eager in their responsibilities as check-room managers at the senior re- ception. Charles Goodhue, growing tired of working with the girls, promptly set up a rival establishment down the corridor. To overcome the handicap which resulted from the fact that people would naturally arrive at the girls’ checkroom first, Goodhue hired some ushers to conduct people past the abashed girls (whose room they declared was infested with moths) to his scientifically-managed business. The following September found us again back in school and caught in a rush of junior events. We were very proud to be upper classmen, for now we could sit in the middle section of the auditorium and get a good view of all the speakers and of the seniors as they marched in. Our junior year was eventful, the first important matter engaging our at- tention being the Snow Carnival, the purpose of which was to raise money for the baseball team. Helen Pikul, one of our most attractive girls, was elected as our candidate for Snow Queen. Com- petition was keen and at the coronation ball which followed Helen, as the result of a tie score in the sale of tickets, shared the crown, or crowns, with Mae Morin, the sophomore candidate. With the excitement of the Snow Carnival over, we settled down to more serious matters at hand, chief among which was the selection of our class ring, a tiger head with numerals. Pins and bracelets similarly decorated could also be purchased. The highlight of our junior year, however, proved to be our Junior Prom on May 2 with all the girls blossoming out in gay colored gowns and the boys in their best suits and behavior. Annual chemistry catastrophies were, it seems, more numerous and severe with our class. Anne Parsons, who as at nurse expects to be a future benefactor of mankind, left the chlorine generator going while she went out to get a whiff of fresh air! Only quick action on the part of Casey Olds saved the rest of the class from mass asphyxiation. Morgan’s attack was probably the worst. We can see him yet pacing the corridors, his sturdy frame wracked by severe cough- ing. 35 Wc arc sorry to say that at the end of our junior year we lost tv o of our outstanding classmates. Charles Good- hue, our freshman and sophomore class president who might havT been our junior president as well had not his loyalty to Wendell Willkie prompted him to refuse a third term, left us for Governor Dummer Academy. Daniel Lunt. another popular classmate who enlivened many of our classes with his keen sense of humor, is now attending the Loomis School in Connecticut. Our first three years of high school had flown by and in September of last year we became full fledged seniors, very grown up and dignified. Our leaders for this big year were Casey Olds, Evelyn Martel, Marjorie Pierce, and Wendell Hill. During an assembly in the early part of the year, the “Cub” staff cleverly impersonated on the stage an issue of the “Cub” to encourage subscriptions to our school magazine. Appearing at the same assembly was the v ell known Joe Mitchell Chappie who publicly praised the “Cub” staff for their demon- stration and elated us all by buving the first subscription to our school m.agazine this year. During November we held the tra- ditional senior Hallowe’en barn dance with the usual accompaniment of pumpkins, wagon wheels, and leaves, but, as a concession to the hay fever sufferers, the use of hay v as reduced to a minimum. The laurels for the evening went to Jacky Marcaurelle and Evelyn Martel, two scary ghosts who later in the evening came to life as two coal black pickaninnies. Our Class has been busier than usual this year because many are engaged in defense activities or in part-time jobs. A group of us, however, did take time out to see a superb performance by Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson of “Macbeth.” We sat in the peanut gallery and heard every whisper. Elor- ence Jones was worried about how far Macbeth had to fall when Macduff knocked him over the parapet. She also shed a few tears over the unhappy fate of young Macduff. Most of us, however, left the theatre in a happy daze, thinking in iambic pentameter as we waited for our bus. A quartette of girls, including Sophie Haritos and Vera Arvanites were saddened at leaving their untouched sodas on the drug store counter when they were hurridly sum- moned for the bus. They soon forgot their sorrow, however, and vocalized in the upper ranges of the human voice all the way home with hearty competi- tion from Cruikshank and Blake. Not all the fun of our senior year occured in out-of-school hours. There was the time when Morgan, seeking the perfect crime for English class, stole his own chair from Study Hall, fastened the blame on Lombard, and then acted as prosecuting attorney in collusion with Judge Ruth Wilson who had also served in the capacity of accomplice. All the participants kept Clerk Ruth Bailey’s telephone line busy demanding 36 legal technicalities. Needless to state the case was exceedingly corrupt and in- volved, and no criminal ever evinced greater relief than Lombard when the jury pronounced him “not guilty.” Senior Day before Christmas vaca- tion was observed as usual except that as a climax to our party we introduced the innovation of a parade through the corridors singing Christmas Carols. The crowning glory of our senior year was our senior play, April 15, en- titled “June Mad.” It was a comedy in three acts based on the difficulties of young teen-age people. The members of the cast and stage crew did them- selves proud, and the play was highly successful. We should not close this record, however, without mentioning the ex- cellent showing of our boys on the athletic field, in football baseball and basketball. They either led or backed up successful teams during their yars in high school. Som of the outstanding athletes have been William Smith, Wil- liam Pardekas, James Olds, Richard Wells, Lowell Merry, George Retails, and Russell Woodbury. Since the beginning of the calendar year our days have been fully occupied with the usual round of activities and important decisions occupying senior classes. We had our pictures taken) by Loring Studios of Lynn; we had the usual fight over caps and gowns which at one time threatened the permanent estrangement of the Lombard family: and we kept our committees busy planning graduation activities. Now that we have come to the close of an eventful chapter in our lives, we pause to express our appreciation to our friends, teachers, and lower classmen for the pleasant memories we carry away of four happy years in Ipswich High. CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1962. Place: A dentist’s office in Boston. Characters: Joan Smith, a dental nurse: Donald Cruikshank, a patient. JOAN. Good afternoon sir. Have you an appointment with Dr. Molar? DONALD. No, I’m afraid I haven’t, but my plate has been irritating my gums lately, and I wondered if the doctor could file it off a bit for me. JOAN. The doctor is busy just now, but if you’ll give me your name I think he can take you between ap- pointments. DONALD. Cruikshank Donald Cruikshank. JOAN. Donald Cruikshank! Why Paddle, how are you? You remember me, one of your classmates at Ipswich High School. DONALD. Of course I do, Joan Smith! Well, well, you fulfilled your ambition to become a dental nurse, I see. JOAN. Yes I did, but what about you? What are you doing? 37 DONALD. Me. I’m a vaudeville singer. Remember — (sings a few bars of “1 his Love of Mine.”) JOAN. (groaning) Oh! please, Paddle. Not that! How could I for- get. But tell me have you heard from any of our classmates? DONALD. Well. I met Edgar Collins all right in a head-on collision yesterday while he was on his way to the hospital to perform an operation. We were towed into Charlie Barney’s Super Repair Station. JOAN. Speaking of Barney re- minds me that I saw his pal Warren Thurston at the Circus last week lifting great weights as the strong man. I bought an ice cream cone from the Good Humor man, Anastasius Sotir- opoulos. DONALD. Whatever happened to your Shortstop friends? JOAN. Well, Vivian Biockelbank has finally caught up with Brian Mar- corelle, who after a brilliant flying career in the last war is now a com- mercial flyer and she a stewardness, Mary Emerson has called a truce with Robert Haskell and they’ve settled down for life. Ruth Bailey is buying for Macey’s in New York. Honey” Anzuoni, class actress, has teamed up with 194rs class actor and formed an Alfred Lunt-Lynne Fontanne partner- ship. Kenny Leet and George Jones are also on the stage. DONALD. That ' s righ t; they were in our Senior Play. Who else was -in that? Let’s see, Johnny Blake has undertaken his father’s business. I heard Marjorie Pierce on the radio a few nights ago broadcasting some very tasty recipes. Our leading man, Lombard, has picked up where Einstein left off. Who else was in that play? JOAN. Wendell Hill, a treasurer at heart, is now a wealthy banker on Wall Street, and Gertrude Prisby is a physical education teacher at Radcliffe. How about Casey Olds? DONALD. Oh, I saw in the papers that our Ambassador to the Irish Free State, Casey Olds, was married this week to Annette Poirier. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Mosely, the former Marjorie Lemieux, were on hand to give them a great send off. JOAN. Speaking of Poirier, Joseph is now in New York, a famous hair stylist. Say have you heard anything of our class athletes? DONALD. Yes, Bill SmJth is play- ing in the Major League now while George Retails has turned family man and he and Olga are raising little beavers.” And need I remind you that Norman Hopping is doing commercial flying also. JOAN. While on the subject of sports Pete Polychronopoulos covers for the Boston Globe” all the games that Bill Smith plays and Ignatius Prisby is a basketball coach at Yale. DONALD. How about that other girls’ club, the Girls ' Sorority? JOAN. Of course, Betty Scott and ' Marguerite Torpey are nurses; Ruth Prentiss was married right after gradua- 38 tion: Phyllis Perkins is in the Ballet Russe: Florence Jones edits a column “There’ll always be an England” on the same paper for which Catherine Lombard, — you remember our great talker, — writes a gossip column: Vir- ginia Wood is a tennis instructor at an exclusive summer resort. Oh yes, that reminds me, I did hear Barbara Mac- kenzie on the Information Please program, and Virginia Lane has just completed the decoration of Senator Morgan’s home. Julia Frydryck is his confidential secretary. DONALD. Her ' friends Stella Aponas and Sophie Watroba are beau- ticians at Filene’s beauty shop. Curator Howard Hill of the Boston Museum takes great pride in his collection of arrow heads. He informs me that Helen Amerio and Mary Eustace are custodians of the mummies. JOAN. Helen’s brother, Robert, and Sophie Haritos have gone into part- nership in the Harco Clam Company, Their trucks go everywhere. If you want to see something really smooth look at “Esquire” over there and see Spiros Aloupis modeling men ' s clothes. DONALD. Barley Wells is a dis- trict attorney. Ann Parsons fulfilled her ambition and became the district attorney’s wife. JOAN. Our class genius, Ruth Wilson, was hailed as “Woman of the Year” by virtue of her authorship of a book which was made into a movie, starring Helem Pikul. Florence Pickard, another genius, is teaching Latin at the new Rowley High School. DONALD. Tell me have you been to any dances lately JOAN. No, to tell the truth I haven’t; so a few days ago I v ent up to one of Arthur Murray’s dancing classes to brush up on a few steps. Who should turn out to be my instructor but William Viladenis! Sophie Terentowicz was also teaching a few Jancy jigs. DONALD. Well, the reason I ask- ed was that I happened to hear Tommy Dorsey’s successor the other night and immediately I recognized Yvonne Cud- demi, and Alice Czemacko was doing the vocals. JOAN. Oh, that reminds me, speaking of songs and vocals, I see that Marjorie Speris and Jennie Thanos have attained something of a reputation for cowboy music. Jennie is the com- poser and Marjorie does the vocal honors. Tell me. Paddle, you always were strong for symphony music; have you heard or seen any symphony or- chestras lately. ' DONALD. Last Tuesday I decided I would spend an evening of relaxation and went over to the Boston Symphony Hall to hear one of the new series of Pop Concerts. On the v ay over I met Walter Rygielski who claims he owns one of the best skunk farms in the state. He has gone into the raising and selling of skunks in a big way. After I left Walter, I passed a store just be- fore the Symphony Hall and what 39 vShould I see but a window display of Lamothe’s Bugaboo: so of course I gathered that Eva had started a manu- facturing plant. JOAN. You started to tell me about the Pops. DONALD. Of course: Well, Fran- cis Bourque was conducting and doing as good a job as Arthur Fiedler ever did. Then an able pianist, Christine Stevens as guest artist took the limelight. JOAN. I had the same idea the other night, — about relaxation I mean; — -so I went over to Woodbury’s Streamlined Bowling Alleys — and who should be bowling beside me but Sena- tor Morgan! and his bodyguard, Ignatio Chirco. DONALD. Speaking of Chirco re- minds me of Bombardiere who has risen from the ranks of cobbler and is selling shoes left and right at a big department store. Your hair is very becoming. Is that a new creation? JOAN. It certainly is. Elaine MacKenney who is working for Eliza- beth Arden gave me a facial and Sophie Avelis did my hair. DONALD. Alice Mozdziez, who was our best-looking girl, is well pre- served and conducts the Health, Beauty, and Poise column in the Salem News. JOAN. That’s funny; I was won- dering about her the other day when I saw Margie Robertson scurrying over to the Massachusetts General in her white uniform. She stopped to talk with me only a moment and informed me that Madeline Appleton is a nurse maid for a well-to-do family out in Jamaica Plain, while Helen Andrewskiewicz is doing secretarial work in the Hospital. DONALD. It seems to me that I heard recently that the Budzianowski Brothers had taken over the Ipswich Theatre and had employed Barbara Babcock as head usher. JOAN. Whatever happened to Ale: Iwic and Raymond Marcaurelle? DONALD. Iwic and Marcaurelle have opened a large photography busi- ness and one of their best models is Jane Dolan. JOAN. That reminds me. Did you see in yesterday’s paper all the comi- mercial drawings by Virginia Beaton? She certainly is clever when it comes to drawing. DONALD. That’s right, I did see those, but I didn’t realize that they were done by our class artist. Perhaps that’s because I was so interested in Teddy Maciejowski’s picture. You know he became a research physicist. JOAN. I realized he v as very good in physics but I didn’t know he was that good. And still another surprise is the fact that Mary Murawski occupies the place in the hearts of the movie public recently vacated by Sonja Henie. DONALD. Strange, isn’t it, bow our classmates turn up everywhere? I guess the world isn’t so large after all. My father has hired a new domestic science teacher, Virginia Weagle, now a widow returning to her profession. JOAN. She always seemed rather quiet for a teacher. Another quiet one. 40 in school anyway, was Christine Mourikas. I wonder what she’s doing now. DONALD. She’s a secretary to Lowell Merry at the Merry Map- Makers, Inc. He performed a valuable service for humanity in helping to wipe Germany, Italy, and Japan off the map. JOAN. Are you married yet. I understand that Evy Martel and Ruthie Comeau were, soon after graduation. DONALD. Ruthie’s chum, Alice Galanis, runs a huge milk bar, similar to Howard Johnson’s, beside the new Strand. Gianefa Galaska is head cashier there. JOAN. I think the doctor ought to be ready for you now. DONALD. (looking at watch) I hope so because I have an appointment at the A M Watch Co. Arvanites and Maniates, that is. They should be able to get home on time now, shouldn’t they? JOAN. It’s been fun hearing all the news. Drop in again some time. You don’t have to wait for the plate to start hurting. This door to the doctor’s office. DONALD. Thanks. So long. See you again. GIFTS TO THE GIRLS By Robert Lombard Here’s to the girls of ’421 Since the boys are to them as one is to two, A gift for each was hard to seek: The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak; Still who can deny that such attraction Merits a gift for life satisfaction? So please understand me, girls, when I mention That behind every gift is a good in- tention. For Helen Amerio, a jitterbug doll Will fill the shoes of a boy at the ball. A tisket, a tasket, who made that basket ? Andrewskiewicz and Murav ski! how could you ask it? For them these pins wil l serve to tell Us all of the game they played so well. For Honey Anzuoni a dress that is red; We hope the glamor won’t go to her head. A copy of the “Cub” to Stella Aponas: Her skill on the keys we wish she could loan us. To Madeline Appleton a coin to toss. To choose the soldier she’d like to boss. A moving van Vera’s style will not cramp 41 If it moves her close to a soldiers’ camp. To Sophie Avelis a soap box we’ll lend As a phone operator her height to mend. For Barbara Babcock a pass to the Strand To see the ushers near at hand. To Ruthie Bailey, our best dressed gal. The latest model to boost her morale. V irginia Beaton, our artist so quaint. Gets as her gift a fresh can of paint. To Vivian Brockelbank. our own Milly Lou. A box of glamor: romance is the clue. Ruth Comeau and Prentiss, who soon will be wedding. These rings and our wishes for smooth happy sledding. Yvonne Cuddemi with feet far from the floor W ill need a cushion, if not three or four. For Alice Czemacho who aims to sing This throat-soothing bottle of listerine. Jane Dolan, who views a speech with horror. May use this parrot to say it for her. Mary Emerson wants a sailor: This is one that will never fail her. These handcuffs to Mary Eustace we lend To keep Helen Amerio her steadfast friend. When Julia Erydryck’s white ribbon wears out, A change may be welcome, we have no doubt. Alice Galanis, who is always late, With this (alarm clock) won ' t miss an important date. To Gianefa Galaska who has polka’d to fame This miniature poker to stir up a flame. To Sophie Haritos a clam we give To help her pop’s business. “Long may it live!’’ Here’s to cur Jonesy, a loveable clown. Some animal cracks for circus renown.

In closing, fair classmates, again 1 will mention Behind every gift was at least good intention. 43 GIFTS TO BOYS By Ann Parsons After repeated failures to make any headway in choosing appropriate gifts for the handsome boys you see before you. I was about ready to give up. As a last resort, I went into solitary confinement with a glass of milk, a box of crackers, and some peanut-butter. It worked, for I soon had a brainstorm and a gift for each boy. For Spiros Aloupis, our class baby, a pair of booties. For Bobby Amerio, a shocking knife if he promises to shock only clams. For Charlie Barney, our class machinist, a monkey wrench. For Johnnie Blake, a former soda jerk, a banana split. For Frank Bombardiere and Anastasius Sotiropoulos, shoe shine kits. For Francis Bourque, class musician, another instrument to play. For Phil Burridge and Peter Budzian- owski, who are now committed to life on the sea, these life savers. For Zenon Budzianowski, a box of sta- tionery to write to Salem now ' that he can’t get there so easily. For Ignazio Chirco, class strong man, a package of nails to chew on. For Edgar Collins, a magnet to hold his girls. For Donnie Cruikshank, this canoe which we hope is big enough to hold his “Paddles.” For Carl Fyrberg, who has just begun to take an interest in feminine things, a bottle of perfume. For Howard Hill, a root for the Yanks. For Wendell Hill, class treasurer for three years, a pig bank. For Norman Hopping, a package of Smith Brothers cough drops. For Alec Iwic, a volume of horror stories to tell the children in his neighborhood. For George Jones, bowl’n pins. For Kenny Leet, an apron to wear in the A. and P. For Bobby Lombard, a green glider to replace the one he smashed in the Senior Play. For Teddy Maciejowski, some fizz for a physicist. For Raymond Marcaurelle and Ignatius Prisby, some negatives to develop in pursuing their hobby. For Brian Marcorelle, a fresh supply of post cards to send to Vivian. For Louis Marcorelle, a cart to deliver groceries. Lor Lowell Merry, a “Claire-inet” Lor Arthur Morgan, a future lawyer, a bar to pass. For Casey Olds, an ardent Irishman, a shillalah. For Joseph Poirier, a bottle of wave set. For Peter Polychronopoulos, a book of cross word puzzles. 44 For Beaver Retails, alias Ramsey, a little lamb. For Walter Rygielski, this harmless little pop gun. For Bill Smith, a little nurse. For Warren Thurston, our glass giant, a bean stalk. For Dick Wells, who has snoozed through so many classes, a bed. For Russell Woodbury, the red, white, and blue, to recall all associations with Good hues. For Willie Viladenis, a prospective tailor, a pair of scissors for ' ‘shear” pleasure. By the time each boy was supplied with a gift, the effect of my period of fasting had begun to tell on me, and I was ready for a nice juicy steak, which I think I had earned. I hope you boys agree.

There are two Spiroses, the quiet, studious Spiros we see in school, and the humorous, jovial Spiros that his intimate friends know. He was chosen icur class baby but we want it understood that this was because of his age, not his habits. He has a secret ambition which he won ' t disclose until he’s well on his way. A.

ROBERT AMERIO O flesh, flesh, how art thou fishified.” “Veto” has had many experiences with Ipswich clams. He’s shucked them, packed them, and sold them. One time he bargained the postponement of an afternoon slip for one-half a peck of selected delectables. Robert is very rhythmic and reminds one of Fats Waller; only he plays the saxophone.

HELEN ANDREWSKIEWICZ “Short and bright” Helen is always trying to convince people that she is five whole feet tall. She’s just a “whiz” at typing and shorthand. Any girl who has played basketball with her knows something of her alacrity. She bounds around the ball and wins points and points for her side. She is very versatile, and can work as well as play.

A great deal of her time and energy went into being the heroine of the Senior Play, a fifteen year-old girl. “Penny”, who was a child one hour and a young ladv the next. She lived the part, made us absolutely aware of her capabilities, and had us calling her “Penny” for days. She was voted class boyologist, but she can’t help being so attractive. A.

To thee I chant at close of day”. Stella is an efficient “Cub” typist and a potentially fine secretary who does conscientious school work. She also enjoys bicycle rides, hikes In the country, and skating parties up the river. Stella’s quiet dignity is an unfor- gettable source of strength of cur class. A. A. 3, 4: Com.mcrcial Club 4; Cub Staff 4: Tiger Staff. MADELINE APPLETON “Mad. Apple.” Madeline nearly left us this year when her family moved to Hamilton, but through her determination to stay, she obtained a jdb in town and graduated with us. She is renowned as a conversationalist who more than holds up her end of the discussion. Her time is pretty well occupied with her job and her homework, but we have heard that she is quite a belle at the Saturday night dances. A. A. 2; Basketball 1, 2. VERA ARVANITES “THE most resplendent hair” Vera is a tall, slender girl with a mass of dark, curlv hair, and dark eyes that are bright and glowing. Hum- ming is heard that is Vera with the latest song. In winter she skates; in the summer she dances and goes to the movies. A. A. 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Basket- ball 4; Commercial Club Treasurer 4. 53 SOPHIE AVELIS “ ' Ehcn her voice music . . , call it the well’s bubbling, the bird ' s warble.” Sophie Avelis is always feund in the mood -for good times. Her beautiful brown eyes and frequent smiles give the clue to her personality. Sophie’s pastime is singing and jitterHC ugging. She is one of the girls who sings in the school choir. Where there is dancing Sophie will surely be there. She is either learning new srepi or teaching friends the older :nes. A. A. 1. 2. 3, 4; Choir 1, 2. 3, 4; Commercial club 4. BARBARA BABCOCK How sweetly doth she float upon the wings of silence”. “Barbie ' s” smiles say more than words about hap- piness and accomplishment. She and her best friend, Christine Stevens, have been working together at the Rowley library this year. They also manage to attend nearly every football and baseball game, with Christine at the wheel. A. A. 3, 4; Commercial Club 4. RUTH BAILEY “Type of the wise who soar but never roam True to the kindred points of heaven and home.” To pass her off as our best-dressed girl” would imply that her attractiveness was merely the department store variety. Her charm is rather some subtle compound of shining blonde hair (the waves are natural) , amused eyes, home-loving spirit, and appropriate remarks humor- ously sprinkled throughout her engaging conversation. It was she who made the ninety-odd characterizations ma- terialize despite War and Company! Right now she is probably saying “Now, Brock”, or just “Morgan!” or winking to Miss Yagjian about some joke they don’t even need to say aloud because they are kindred spirits. A.

CHARLES BARNEY “Sonny” comes from that well-known town of Rowley. He is very good-natured and has a pleasant smile for everyone. He is usually seen riding around with Thurston in Thurston’s car. He looks bashful to the casual observer hut his friends who know him disagree. Maybe his sleepiness in school is a result of his frequent jumpings out of bed at all hours of the night to drive the wrecker to an accident. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. 54 VIRGINIA BEATON Virginia joined us last year, and that was two years too late. Since then, she has made up for lost time by supplying poster after placard for any school or class activity. Although she presents a reserved exterior, her mind must be overflowing with artistic ideas, for her sketchbook is delightful to look at. Thus she was selected our class artist. JOHN BLAKE Are you looking for an experienced clarinetist or a “perfect” jitterbug, a proficient yachtsman ,or a bowling companion who will also be willing to rise at an early hour on summer mornings to go clamming with you? All of these and more is John Blake, as his pal, Cruik- shank, can testify. Although his heart is in the class of 1 940, the rest of him is an indispensable part of our class. His service as vice president junior year, his humcrous portrayal as “Honest John”, the sheriff in our famous court scene, and his mere good-natured presence have kept us all in good spirits. We know that he will carry a ray of sunshine into the serious profession of military service which he hopes to. enter.

FRANK BOMBARDIERE “Bony” is a frequent visitor to Beverly but as yet we have not found out who she is. Frank is often seen riding around in his shiny black Chewy, icr was before the days of dimouts and gas rationing. Saturdays he may be found at his father’s shoe store shining shoes. He is an airplane enthusiast and has built a number of large models. During the summer he took flying lessons at Plum Island Airport, Seme day he hopes to join the United States Air Corps. FRANCIS BOURQUE “His very foot has music in it As he comes up the stairs”. Francis received the overwhelming majority of votes for our class musician: in fact, he is the only member of our class who plays in a professional orchestra. We all envy Francis because he lives across the street from school. We come puffing up after a long hike only to see him calmly sauntering across the street. Anytime he ' s not over at the bowling alleys, he ' s home practicing on his saxophone. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Band; Orchestra: Base- ball team. 55 VIVIAN BROCKELBANK “Give all for love: obey thy heart” A-choo! a-chool In love again. Brock? Her list of flames is even longer than the enumeration of her many activities, but we can understand why. For she bounds skillfully through her responsibilities, finds time for skiing and diving in season, and emerges from all these as bouncey as Tigger and ready for evenings of fun. Her greatest asset is her .bottomless well of optimism; her one disappointment, her small stature. Apropos of this, Mr. Canary is always warning her to stoop when she walks ever a lawn lest she bump her head on the dandelions! A.

ZENON BUDZIANOWSKI “Like a dog, he hunts In dreams.” W e imagine he does, anyway, for he spends many of his waking hours gunning. Driving an automobile is another favorite occupation: and then, like all good sportsmen, he finds some “leisure to go a-fishing.” PHILIP BURRIDGE Philip Burridge was our Vice President for two years, and has long been a capturer of hearts. When he had helped us through the 1941 Championship Football Season, he joined the Navy: but he came back for a peek at us at the Junior Prom.

He’ll cheer up his patients anyway. His usual greeting is a hardy slap on the back and a crushing of the hand. This wouldn’t be just the tonic for a palsy patient, but cheer up, Edgar; it’s the right spirit. A. A. 3. 4. RUTH COMEAU Here is a girl who lives on the outskirts of town and wc’rc glad she picked Ipswich for her alma mater. ' WTat wc want to know is how ‘:he keeps her shiny, black hair so lovely and her peaches and cream complexion so clear. If at any time you couldn’t find a fork or a tuna fish sandwich in cafeteria period, you just asked “Ruthie”. and she would willingly get it for ycu.

He lost his English books regularly every Monday and twice on Thursdays. Seriously, though, he remains to date our most romantic figure, cur most per- fect gentleman, and, withal, cur deepest thinker. A.

Not only is Yvonne’s expression pleasant, but she is a proficient trombonist who has been soloist at several of our Sunday concerts. Her ability to serve delicious meals at the cafeteria contradicts the popular theory that musicians are impractical. Because of her small stature, she has difficulty at school in finding seats from which her feet can touch the floor: but when she is on skates, touching the ground appears to be the least cf her con- cerns.

She always maintains that Ipswich High School would never have a football team if it weren’t for Rowley’s contributions. She’s at every game cheering her fellow townsmen.

CARL FYRBERG ' ”Fcr I am armed so strong in honesty.” NX’hcn Carl began his years in high school, we could not decide whether it was his laugh or Morgan’s which was the more vociferous. Since that time, he has entered numerous other activities, always with the same vigor. The Latin Club remembers him as an asset with original ideas and enviable costumes; the baseball team claims him as one of its most reliable players: and the whole school is proud of him as a star skier at winter carnivals and as a well-rounded personality.

HOWARD HILL Howard is one of those lucky people who have a license and he is often seen running around in his family’s Oldsmobile. In school he runs a round with the “Laugh- ing Gas Gang” of Morgan, Fyrberg and Lombard, who as their name implies, have given some good guffaws in their time. He may often be seen with his nose to the ground ‘.ooking for Indian arrow heads. He has collected a great number of them and is quietly and justly proud of his fascinating collection. A.

No trembler in the world’s storm-troubled sphere.” Windy is not at all scatterbrained, as our favorite name for him would imply. On the contrary, he has managed our class treasury for three years with marked success. He has also been business manager of the “Cub” and the “Tiger”. Many an afternoon has found him cranking the mimeograph in room 107. But his life is not all business. He is usually the first to enjoy the many amusing occurrences in English class.

Six feet tall and no brains.” is cn.v half true as far as Alec is concerned. His tall frame is topped by a pair of penetrating, thoughtful eyes. We often find him fascinating the younger generation of his neighborhood with his weird tales and horror stories. If you ever happen to walk by the auditorium on Mondays and A ' cdnesdays during sixth period, it’s a sure bet that the inevitable smack of a basketball against the door has his arm behind it.

Of course you have: everyone knows .cur George Jones. He is the class g ' oom-chaser. especially around exam time. His broad smi ' .e mirrors itself in the faces of those about him. His special hobby is bowling; so the class of 1941 willed him a pair of bowling shoes. He has made good use c: them at both ends of the alleys. His ambition is to become World’s Champion in that muscle-developing sport. His portrayal of Tony in “She Stoops to Con- quer” showed us what a good actor he is.

To the casual observer, she is a quiet, demure, and dignified girl, chiefly occu- pied iby her studies and quieting any outbursts of talk and laughter: but there is another Virginia who has a tense of humor and delights in doing the unconventional. For several years she lived in an enviable spot, the beach, but when all her clubs flocked there for special outings, perhaps she longed for a glimpse of green grass. A.

This year much of her spare time has been spent in hunting and other sporting activities with ? Mr. “Boiling Point” (as her chemistry instructor is prone to call him.)

EVELYN MARTEL Evvy is one of the pillars of our class. Maybe we ' ve tired her with all the work we’ve piled on her. but she has done it well and cheerfully. She never .seems to be free from committee meetings, and she always seems to be the chairman. She was voted our most popular girl. Her activities aren’t limited to committees; we picked her as captain of our senior team because she was such a good basketball player. Evvy seems to be a b:rn leader.

RAYMOND MARCAURELLE “But it was even thou, my companion, my guide, and mine own familiar friend”. Raymond is the fourth in the row of Marcaurelles in Study Hall.

Raymond is forever having fun at the expcnce of his constant friend, Alec Iwic. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Glee Club. BRIAN MARCORELLE Bree-on was a lively spot in any class in which he happened to find himself. So It was with a great regret that we and the girls (for he was a great ladies’ man) saw him leave to become a private. From his cheerful letters we read between the lines that his buoyant spirit is net letting the Army down. ARTHUR xMORGAN Morgan is a vital element in our class organization. The week that he was absent with the measles we didn’t know how to get along. The way he reads off sentences from a blank page baffles us; the way he eats makes us hope he will find a good cook, (although he asserts he is going to be his own) the way he laughs makes us laugh; the fact that he was chosen to write a graduation essay makes us proud cf him. That Morgan was chosen as both optimist and pessimist shows he has done a bit of bluffing in his day; but his biggest bluff was his acting as prosecuting attorney in our famous court scene when he was the criminal!

We enjoyed the play tremendously but we doubt if he did because he was suffering under an ex- panding lower jaw. and the necessity of evading Vivian Brockelbank. Casey was our class president during this last year. We really took notice when he banged on the desk and demanded order. When he learned that he was supposed to write a graduation ssay on some subject which interested him, he impulsively chose “Women” for his topic. A.

She also was exposed to Chemistry longer than the rest of us, for. as apprentice, she braved the explosive study a second year to hand out sparingly charcoal, copper sulfate, limewater, and ranks. Her love of the out-of-doors materialized in many a walk with Eleanor Haley and many an enviably fine essay for English.

She has won all the honors in school, and to complete her perfect record she was awarded a substantial scholarship for Smith College. Her keen wit. original mind, and versatility (she also has talent in art), have been the envy of class- mates and the joy of the teachers.

The eleven “iron men”, as the starters in the Haverhill game were called, did great damage to every team which confronted them. The captain v as Bill Pardekas who played a great season, accompanied by Bill Smith, a great ball carrier, Phil Burridge and Peter Pardekas, who formed a strong backheld. The line, one of the heaviest Ipswich has ever had, consisted of Merry, Wells, Cruikshank, Hopping, Retalis, Olds, Fraser, and Dailitka. These men met the challenge of a hard schedule with dogged determination. Their major accomplishment of the ’41 season was their 7-7 tie v ith Hav- erhill, which has a Class “A” rating. The 6-0 defeat of Amesbury was also a victory to be proud of and focussed the attention of the fans on the Tigers. Besides these, the Tigers rolled up a 20-7 victory over a highly rated Weston High team which had won 26 con- secutive games. The record for the season follows: Ipswich 7 Haverhill 7 Ipswich 7 Methuen 0 Ipswich 6 Amesbury 0 Ipswich 18 Reading 0 Ipswich 7 Stoneham 0 Ipswich 13 ...

This year the Ipswich High Basketball Team won the cup permanently after three consecutive years of championship. S t. Ann ' s of Gloucester is the only team besides Ipswich to have held the cup for two successive years. The Tigers finished the season with a record to be pleased with. They won nine out of twelve games. Of the eight games in the Cape Ann League, they won seven! The season was played as follows: 77 Cape Ann 7 ' ournarricnt 1. St. Ann’s 17 Ipswich 29 2.

Baseball 1942 I N January, 1942, there didn’t seem to be much hope that baseball could be swung this year with all the expenses of new equipment and the lack of fence at the ball grounds through which ad- mittance could be charged. Then Mr. Burke, the baseball coach, had a won- derful idea, that the squad could collect scrap paper this spring to be sold at a substantial amount per ton. Every Saturday beginning on Feb- ruary seventh, and often on weekdays, the boys faithfully gathered the old papers which people willingly saved for them. At the beginning, the corps took delight in noting the amusing articles which also seemed to find their way into the tonnage. In the category of paper there was a heading “Hindenburg Smashed,” and a first edition of “I’m Sorry, Dear.” An old tire and some out-moded stage scenery were also greatfully received. Although the boys weren’t dealing primarily in rags, they collected 150 pounds of baby clothes, old dresses, and other articles. By March 31, there were 23 tons stored in the basement of the Ipswich High School. As for the baseball team itself, it was ably co-captained by Bill Smith and Eddie Smorezewski.

November 10, 1941. The pageant was enacted through a dialogue between Uncle Sam played by Arthur Morgan and Liberty played by Ruth Wilson. These two characters introduced vari- ous qualities that constitute the typical American ideals of democracy, and sought to bring before the minds of the audience a “moral equivalent for war”. Others taking part in the pageant were William Senseney, Edgar Collins, Ann Parsons, James Olds, Joyce Bousley, Vivian Brockelbank. Jeanne Everitt, Carl Eyrberg, Wendell Hill, Donald Cruikshank, and Donald McPhail. Concerts T his year the musical organizations of 1. H. S. presented two Sunday afternoon concerts under the direction of AT. Arthur H. Tozer. The first concert was held on Sun- day, November 16. This concert was given in recognition of American Edu- cation Week. All the schools of Ips- wich were represented. The Junior High and Elementary chorus’ sang some very familiar songs. Rae Everitt ren- dered a fine solo, “Eleeting Days, by ' Profesor Eben H. Bailey. The second and last concert of the year was held on March 15. A very fine program was aranged and presented to a large enthusiastic audience. A vocal solo by Eleanor Berard was en- joyed by everyone. Christine Stevens played a piano solo, and Yvonne Cuddemi rendered a fine trombone solo. Both concerts attracted a large audi- ence. It is hoped that many more concerts will be presented next year. Christmas Play O N December 19, 1941, an alert Ips- wich High School entered th auditorium to enjoy a one-act play “No Room in the Hotel.” Mrs. Uowles had been coaching the play for weeks and we had been hearing lines rehearsed at random in the corridors but as to the exact nature of the performance our curiosities were still unsatisfied. How fascinatedly, then, we watched a traveler (John Woodbury) with his wife (Lucy Eustace) and a child seek- ing a place to sleep one cold Christmas Eve. They asked for rooms in a small hotel in Bethlehem but an experienced desk girl ( Johanne Black) realized that shabby foreigners were not welcome. Yet the mother, unable to understand her hostility, remained in the lobby with the child while the father sought lodging elsewhere. Into the lobby came a news reporter (Donald Mc- Phail), a poetess (Rae Everitt), a 79 sinjiLor and his wife (Arthur Morgan and Priscilla Harris), who individually despised the foreigners. All the characters (as well as the audience ) recognized the irony of a second homeless family seeking shelter in a modern Bethlehem on Christmas Eve, yet it was the humble scrubwoman (Greta Beaton) who gave them a room in her house, and it was the mysterious traveler (Nelson Pascoe ) who was moved to forget social barriers and in- vite the homesick negro bell hop (Mal- colm Gross) to enjoy Christmas with him. Senior Play O N Wednesday, April 15, the Senior Class presented to a crowded auditorium the three act comedy, “June Mad.” The leading parts were taken by Virginia Anzuoni as Penny Wood and Robert Lombard as Chuck Harris. The play itself deals with the teen age infatulations of a high school girl. Penny’s transient passion is directed at a smooth, fast acting, and flattering friend of her uncle’s, Roger Van Vleck, played by Donald Cruikshank. Penny’s mother, played by Virginia Lane, her father, played by Kenneth Leet, and her uncle, played by Casey Olds, are entire- ly sympathetic with her and do all they can to case her over the difficult transitions of adolescense. After many heart breaks their purpose is achieved, and Penny begins to take notice again of her old faithful neighbor. Chuck Harris. Roger Van Vleck is left to woo a school teacher, and Penny’s uncle Meryvn has his one heart throb back again when Julie Harris, played by Joan Smith, finds out that Roger is nothing but fake at heart. In addition to the humor furnished by Penny herself, Milly Lou, played by Vivian Brockelbank, added many laughs to the play as a young neighbor- hood pest. George Jones played the part of Mr. Harris, Julie and Chuck’s father, while Marjorie Pierce as Effie, and John Blake as Elmer also added a romantic and humorous note. Wendell Hill and Gertrude Prisby played the parts of Shirley and Ralph Wentworth. In spite of the rainy night the play proved to be a success and was acclaimed by many as one of the best plays that has hailed from a senior class in a long time. 80 CLASS OFFICERS Front Row (left to right) Chester Bowen ’45.
