NVe preferred to think of ourselves as being incarcerated in school by unrea- sonable teachers. Our homework was always less than we claimed it to be, more than what we actually did. NVe were tardy. absent, or unduly dis- missed without any eompunetion. Vile longed to escape. And now we are escaping. XVe leave our under classmates, teachers, and school rooms with perhaps a senti- mental tear whe11 'tAuld Lang Synem is played and we march out of chapel for the last time. NVe are alumni, the 'world is at our feet just as lpswich is when we climb Town llill. NVe have our freedom - from school. But now we lind ourselves faced with more obligations and with greater problems than the best way to escape coming back in the afternoon in re- sponse to that slip we were given. Vile shall want jobs, and after this war jobs will be at a premium. liateness and absenteeism will spell a brush-off. Vile are warned again and again by Those Who Know that employers will no longer chase after our signature with a promise to work for them, that we shall probably find it hard to get as near a job as the ante-room to the office of a third assistant to the per- sonnel manager. Jobs are only one problemg a slight bit of searching woulc' reveal many others. l do not wish to discourage all elu sory hopes or infer that they have nr possible substance. They can be real ized if we slough olf the skin of irre sponsibility and pretense, of vain illu sions, and shallow grasp of all we shoulc knoxv, a skin worn by most of us il high school. Then we can look forwarf to the bio'e'er things in store for us. PZ' VALUE OF EDUCATION S America was newly developing from 'troeks and rills and tem pled hillsf' in her country side schoo houses, prim school marms were labori ously drilling the tedious three t'r's,y the only requirements, into the head: of farm boys and eobblers' sons, the apprentice to the tailor, and the bakery boy. Young women of necessity foughi beneath the label of NVoman Suf frage to gain freedom in the educai tional world victoriously winning theii position beside men of knowledge reputation, and fame. Is it then just to discard lightly anc carelessly the fruits. of their efforts The answer should be UNO! Yet to day we, the young people, are drifting away from school life, learning. ant 20 EEEMMKEEENEKKKKKEMEKKKH rec1'eation. The tempting bait of war jobs with high salaries and opportuni- ties for artificial pleasures and excite- ment, is dangled on a shining hook be- fore our eyes. VVhen demobilization day draws near, we shall be among that sea of helpless fish cast back into black crowded waters because we do not measure up to the required standards. And why is it that we have not passed the test? The answer revolves around education. which is becoming 'more and more necessary. After the war employment will call for college and high school graduates. Those lacking one or both will find themselves flounderingi about with the million other fish. Think to the future. Plan accord- ingly for further education. Be one of the lucky ones who will meet all requirements. KATHERINE F. SULLIVAN HIS year Miss Sullivan resigned, and her many former pupils, re- gretting that she could not stay long enough to watch over their grandchil- tlren's education, will pay tribute to her. VVe, who can never forget the days when she was our principal, would like to extend our appreciation also for the years she was with us. When we entered the NVinthrop School as fourth graders, we were dimly conscious of a high, mysterious chamber in the Manning High known EEEKKKKEEEKMKKEKKKIKKKER as Miss Sullivan's office if we did not behave properly. Assemblies and class plays were never complete unless Miss Sullivan were there, snapping a cricket she held ill her hand when the audience was noisy. or smiling approval at some of our antics. lt was more of an occasion then, and our performances were more inspired. ln our last year of grammer school we became better acquainted with Miss Sullivan. We took turns being her of- fice helper, running errands or clean- ing out the closets and cutting out pic- tures from the National Geographic for geography class. NVaiting in the ante-room to her office, we would gaze at the fish in the big bowl in the cor- ner, the posters hanging on the wall do11e by former talented pupils, and feel the old lndian relics in the cabinet. There was something impressive about that room that 11ever failed to interest us - perhaps, the mere knowledge of Miss Sullivan's presence. NVe realize now even more than we did then what a reliable and helpful friend Miss Sullivan had been to us. XVe shall always retain a pleasant memory of the days when we knew her.

Literary PENMANSHIP IN THE RAW DONT believe I shall ever master the art of writing - that is, not only composing but simply iuscribing letters on papers so that they will be legible. After years of trial and error I am convinced that my handwriting will continue to be afflicted with bili- ous I's , sloping a's , and 'to's that fold up like accordions. Psychologists, or anyone interested in the ease, would probably trace the intirmity of my handwriting back to the formative years of my education and would probably discover something quite revealing and not very flattering. As far as I can remember, I was taught to write in the generally accepted man-- ner. I copied pages of lettering from charts. I was encouraged to write on a blackboard at home QI suppose I did get some practice during these sessions at the blackboard, but I usually ended up drawing turtles. the only animal I ever could draw, which is probably significantj. I practiced on the school blackboard, the teacher guiding my hand which shook with exertion when I executed the capitals. I have always felt that it wasnlt quite fair to blame her for my lack of success in these etforts, since she could write quite well alone. In the third grade I was introduced to pen and ink, and it was then that I realized that the pen was mightie than the pencil. I can still remembe' Tln supervisor swayed up and down the my first penmanship exercise. aisles singing, Hlip over down. ul over down, swing . . My face was wreathed in inkg I clawed over the paper, my pen scratching loudly. Sud denly a stentorian voice rang out Whose pcn is scratching?,' A tense moment passed before I realized she was referring to mine. I stopped write ing, the class proceeded. and I remained with my pen poised over the iukwell Then the class reached the next page in the copybook, I hastened to catch up with them, my pen sputtering pro- testingly. Every pcnmanship day be- came a life-sized nightmare to me. I always missed the bus trying to get the kinks out of my t'm's and the sag out of my 'tp's . Since then my life has been one long struggle with broken-down pencils, leaky pens, and neurotic points. And still I cannot draw two f's in suc- cession the same size, and still I can- not draw a uw without an untidy permanent wave. I try, to convince myself that with- out these idiosyncrasies .my writing would he characterless. Hbwever.

She must be pan1pe1'ed and at every moment blaze into sizzling' otf heat to a cold room. spoil ed, catered to in order that she flames and throw l've often wondered how the pioneers of yesterday ever survived freezing temperatures when their only means of warmth was a log' fire. From my experience. which is of long' standing, the idea seems almost absurd. After my attempts at building' a fire -the lndian method, the Girl Scout formula, and then falling back on my own technique - bear the proverbial fruit, T settle back to. revel in the wel- come heat. Alas. this is an almost im- possible task. Taking my position al- most in reach of the flames, my feet in the andirons, I soon smell burning leather and discover that my shoes fwith rationing' as it isj are on the verge of bursting' into flames while Those that dwell within, my feet, are still several degrees below freezing einperatures. My legs are in a dis- 'raught shape, the hair having' been tinged off - almost. ln the meantime ny back is racing with shivers, Hllil mnly that portion exposed to the tire s warm, too warm. lil!!!

As a result of surveys conducted by the United States Army and by the Red Cross, it was proved that recrea- tion, as well as rigid training, is essen- tial in producing satisfied, superior fighting men. , The first and most successful step towards providing recreation for sol- diers was the setting up of canteens by the American Theater VVing in San Francisco, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Newark, and XVashington, to be staffed entirely by volunteers. At Broadway 's Canteen servicemen can actually be waited on by famous stars and rub elbows with the great. After leisurely strolling into the canteen, Private Joe :an sit at a table set by Jimmy Duranteg iine on sandwiches and coffee prepared Jy Claudette Colbertg see dishes ,vhisked away by Frederic Marchg .vatch Katherine Cornell patriotically suppressing an aversion to movie cameras and throwing in a few well- chosen words from Romeo and -Iulietug hear Bob Hope mercilessly kick some illusive statement aroundg or hear Bing Crosby croon the latest 'tSunday, Monday, or Always - all without cost. Although they enjoy watching the stars perform, the men get even greater satisfaction from the feeling of self- importance it gives them to watch Vom- missioner Paul V. McNutt wash dishes or Alfred Lunt empty wastebaskets. A frequent visitor to the canteens also is Mrs. Roosevelt who, together with the Duchess of VVindsor, has signed innumerable autograph books for servicemen. An example of how the nation is co-operating is the organization of the Pittsburgh U.S.O. Variety Club Can- teen. A R-otarian presented the idea which was enthusiastically acceptedg the railroad leased the site for a mere 531.00 a yearg an architect and contrac- tor donated their services 5' sixty-five business firms provided materialsg fifty unions gave their laborg a Variety club volunteered continuous entertainment: and the townsfolk kept the financial situation rolling smoothly. As a crossroads. canteens have had many spine-tingling revelations. In the midst of speaking to a hostess, a young soldier gasped and pointed over her 355696- shoulder. Tears came to his eyes, for there before him stood his brother who had been reported missing in action a year before. Even Mrs. Roosevelt found the can- teen a crossroads. A sailor leaned over her chair and said, 'tMrs. Roosevelt, I'm from Seattle. You know Seattle, don't you?i' 4'Oh, yes, l know Seattle very wellg my daughter lives there. tiYes, l know, my mother knows your daughter l In addition to all the excellent food and entertainment provided, canteens are making it possible for men to send their voices home permanently. Over three hundred phonograph records a month go to homes all over the world. One of the many records going home was that of an English seaman - Fm having a foine time ,ere in America at the Stage Door Canteen and there 's jitterbuggin' and carryin' on . . . A pilot from Glasgow asked three Ameri- can soldiers to sing with him. All joined in t'Tipperary and the Scots- man finished off with, Here we are a bunch of singin' allies. NVe're singin' together in,war and we 711 go on singin' together in peacetime too. Smaller communities ,also ,have or- ganized municipal recreation. Former stores standing idle now receive ser- vicemen nearly every night. Beautiful homes are welcoming men with food, entertainment, and homey atmospheres. Second to the canteens are radio shows and concerts. Indeed, if one EEQEKIEQEHEKXHUEEEEEEKJEEEEKEKKR were to turn on the radio practically any night of the week, he would un doubtedly hear his favorite radix broadcast with the resounding cheer: of servicemen in the background. Con certs, too, are given for the benefit oi men who enjoy classical or semi classical music, and tickets are always being issued free of cost. Nor is recreation by any mean: wholly limited to the States. Our boys are being entertained all over the globe perhaps by an Arabian sheik oi an Australian sheep rancher, tasting a kangaroo steak somewhere in the South Pacific or a curry dinner in the house of a Hindu, or playing tennis with a young lady in Kashmir in the shadows of the Himalayas. Even in the wild Hills on the border of Northern Burma where head hunting is still a favorite pastime. 2 young sergeant, who with his buddies was guest at the wedding of the head- hunters' king, reported, 'tThey playec and danced for us and served us plenty of food. Some of us didn't feel like eating until we found out those con- siderate fellows served us strictly vege- tarian dishes. In the far-off Holy Land in Palestine the Levant Recreation center or. as most commonly known to servicemen, Tel-liitwinsky Cmeaning Litwinsky's Hillj has been established by the llnited States Army as a rest camp for tired or vacationing soldiers. After drawing servicemen from a vast area of five thousand miles stretching from ififllliiiil-HHEKJEQHK I-lil the Persian Gulf to the west coast of Africa, Tel-Litwinsky can handle seven hundred and fifty men at 01109. lt otfers a luxurious recreation center: splendid food which can be had any time of day, amazing tours of ancient Biblical cities, towns ,and districts like Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, and Jeri- cho for fourteen dollars, which in peace- time would cost a tourist about tive hundred dollars, a11d the bright lights and gaiety of modern Tel-Aviv. Cap- tain Lloyd Howard, former superin- tendent of playgrounds at Lynchburg, Virginia, who now runs the camp, says to each incoming group of servicemen, 'l'n1 just running a hotel for 'Uncle Sam. Vile 're trying to provide you with everything but breakfast in bed, and Wl'.1'9 working on that. ln India, as a result of an lndia-wide morale survey worked on by a hundred wtfieers. social clubs are going up with iostesses flown from America by the Red Cross. Everything conceivable from radios to portable cinema projectors with few- weeks old films are going to men in the camps. Broadcasts and swing music from home compete with the sou11d of tribal drums at night. Athletic equip- ment, musical instruments, and indoor James are part of the camp's recrea- tional achievements. Outside of camp men are being invited to upper-class Indian homes and are invading places which a year ago were frequented Jnly by officers of the king. lil-HI-lil In spite of all that has been accom- plished for servicemen, many are still inclined to ask whether the American Theater NVing, the Red Cross, and the llnited States Army are justified in opening canteens and providing enter- tainment for servicemen. Fan mail, the comments of the servicemen, and the enthusiastic response of the servicemen themselves are tl1e best answers as to whether entertainment is an essential part of training. DREAMLINE TOMORROW by Joanne Fuller NCE upon a peacetime the simple familiar phrase, l'll be home for dinner didn 't mean much. But that was yesterday. Now. men are battling in deserts or on lliiIlgl'0l'0l1S beaches, above the clouds or under the sea, for that right 'sto come home for dinner. As we paste current events of today in our life's scrapbook, we can look beyond the manless Mondays, meatless Tuesdays. and maidless doomsdays, be- yond soy-bean substitutes to form our plans for tomorrow. As the pages of time are thumbed through, there are reminders of what was and what shall be again, - good food and the affec- tionate easy laughter of a family sit- ting together around a dinner table, with no empty places, - a summer evening's tour to the Bijou, and the proverbial ice cream sundae that fol- lowed, accompanied by more easy 27 lllllil-IEKK KEGG!-BE!-llEllG!69E!E laughter and more' flutfy heaps of whipped cream topped with brown roasted pecans. 'llhen from the yel- lowed pages of the past, we skim over the dark present to the blank and empty pages of the future, eager to he filled by our plans, yes, yours and mine, for a once upon a peacetime for tomorrow. Change is inevitable! A startling example of such change is reflected in once comfortably crowded cities, now overflowing with an influx of popula- tion bursting thc seams of hotels, boarding houses, private homes, and even more private park benches. The negro and poor white from the South, the towering lusty cowboy from the western range, thc pink-cheeked milk maid fresh from the countryside, the blustering small town business man, - all have flocked to the city, already congested, and to war plants, ship yards, and ammunition factories, scratching like ill-fed hens at the tempting golden grains of war time wages and the pulsing adventure of the big town. XVork, food, and housing problems have sprouted and grown like ugly weeds to strangle the very breath of life from our people, who water and cultivate them. Defense workers crowded into one room apartments and dumpy little flats throughout the cities, containing four hard beds and twice as many men, sleep in shifts to solve the bed problem. Lack of time and home-cooked meals U!-HBE!!-IBBEHEUEHE I 5 have pushed millions into dingy hash houses to eat improper and unwhole- some foods. The well-known black market has sapped dry food supplies controlled by rationing and price regu- lation, while easy getting and free spending have boosted inflationary prices upon many commodities. Small towns, too, have suffered. The services have drawn manpower from the farm, and migration to boom towns has left more than one ghost village from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon, from 'Frisco to Miami. New slum districts rearing their ugly heads to join the old, unsanitary con- ditions increasing at unbelievable rates, youth rapidly becoming delin- quents, - these are the deadly toll of war time living. There is too much getting spending, spending and getting. From the mumblings and confusion of post war plans flowing into the and capital on swift moving tides - plans for unemployment, housing, reconstruc- tion, and readjustment - have risen the unfamiliar words prefabricated housesf? ffsolaru homes, and collapsi- ble dwellings. During the coming period of recon- struction and beyond, these three types of homes will represent the fifth free- dom - freedom from inconvenience, high costs, Icllld inadequacies - free- dom to live. NVhat a tedious job was the pioneer's to stock up his log cabin as compared with the simple task of erecting a pre- IEUEKIEBEEQEBEIEK fabricated house. Construction is a matter of minutes. If l were to drive through the outskirts of Rowley one day and come back the next a huge city of such houses spreading from end to end over this now small town could be constructed within the few hours of my trip. VVith the introduction of the prefabricated house how fast the now speeding earth will spin. Manufactured on mass production the walls, ceilings, and partitions will be uniform and complete with heating systems and water pipes, insulation, and electric lighting. Of course the homes will be copy-cattish. but this allows the talents of the modern house- wife to show up. Pop won't have to drag out of bed in zero weather to shove coal in the old block furnace. There won 't be any. A vestpocket fur- nace hung from a rafter in the ceiling will be available after the war accord- ,ng to its present promise in drying aoldiers' laundry. In cold weather I ahould think it would be possible to 'arry this H 'tby Sl heater in one's woeliet. No more cold feet - or eold loses. Another amazing advantage of our luture home is its semi-porous walls. vhieh absorb all sound. lVhat a bless-- ng will be the peaceful sleep undis- urbed by eternal cat tights, a fretful Kjunior'l, and even the rooster's fa- miliar cock-a-doodle-doo. These very same porous walls will Ie the answer to the picture hanger 's irayers. Many enjoyable hours will I-Blllllllllil be spent moving pictures and nails from one end of the wall to the other since all holes disappear when the nail is removed. lf in a fit of rage, you bang your head against the wall the only dent will be in your head. You see such walls do have their advan- tages. From the prefabricated house with its vest pocket walls and semi-porous furnace we turn to the solar homes, the revolutionizer of the heating sys- tem. lts walls of sheer glass will allow the sun to till its interior with heat and Eaves built out from a flat roof regu- late are warm in the winter and eool in the summer. And with the introduc- tion of the solar home that old proverb people who live in glass houses light from morning 'til night. the sun rays so that the rooms shouldn 't throw stones will come true. This type of dwelling also has its sanitary and economical advantages. first. sinee abundance of light aids the eyes. and the sun 's healthful rays are shining constantly through the panes of glassg and. secondly, sinee the coal bill is discarded and the eleetrie light bill is cut in half. However, the solar house will have its greatest sueeess in regions nearer the 'South where the sun is in a more favorable position. The third type of future dwelling, then, is the collapsible home - an amazing contraption that can be put up and pulled down as neatly and quickly as a tent. Constructed along the lines of the prefabricated house it IEVIRIEKEBIEE- contains a heating and water system and is completely furnished with im- mobile furniture, which I'm sure will please the Mr., whose back has had more than one ache pushing heavy sofas and ten ton pianos here and there. This tiny box of a house is sure to increase the trend of nomadic living already becoming more and more popular. Even the poorest of us will be able to spend our vacations in Florida or California, thanks to this amazing creation. As the collapsible home becomes more popular through- out the states, renting grounds will be established at which these homes for the footloose may be set up. Tomor- row 's homeowner will no longer worry when the house rent falls due - ground rent will be his problem. How different, too, will be the school of tomorrow. Each light-flooded room will contain a television set and radio bringing to students current events, operas, or art exhibitions on the hour and within the hour. These latest in- ventions will supplement hooks in the instruction of pupils. Finally, let us preview one day in the life of tomorrow 's family. I shall choose a family well-known to all - the Jones family. The time is 19605 the scene, the Jonses' kitchen, an expanse of white porcelain and shining glass. The characters - just Mrs. Jones. She is preparing breakfast while humming the 1960 version of 'tlllairzy Doatsf' Ham and eggs are literally cooking themselves on a regulated stove while QEIEBEIE-E-NIUE! P 9 coffee is bubbling merrily in a plastic percolator. Fortunate Mrs. Jones is peeling oranges with a knife whose edge will never dull Cimagine itll. Then into the garbage pail drop the peelings where they are automatically washed, disinfected, and ground up The mice are certainly worried abou1 that pail. Then through a television set Mrs Jones discovers that her husband has rolled over and is fast asleep. Of neces sity she calls him again with a -lusty voice that neither time nor science if able to change. NVhile Friend Husband showers in 1 plastic bath empty of steam since con densation units have been inserted i1 walls and shaves with a never dulling razor blade Clucky fellowj before a non-steamed mirror behind which a low voltage unit has been installed his wife is taking the butter from he new model refrigerator.

NVhen the golden butte Cyes, butterj appears behind the glass the door is opened. herself as she thinks back to After themorning meal the dishe placed in a device that washes, di: infects, and air-dries them. Scientist 30 llllllill-I are now racking their brains in search of a device to put the dishes back upon the shelves. Meanwhile, the mechani- cal nurse has been watching Junior. At his awakening, she immediately warns Mrs. Jones, who attends to him at once. After Mr. Jones leaves for work in his streamlined car containing a police radio and a television set, Mrs. Jones cleans her home. Should I dust to- day! she wonders and tries to think back to the last time she dusted. lt must have been three months ago. With air conditioning the necessity for dusting is eliminated. For relaxation in the morning hours Mrs. Jones reclines on the roof terrace and an odd terrace it is. During the coldest December morning one is able to take a sun bath on this open roof while the winds whip about and the thermometer is hovering near zero. Such a remarkable phenomenon is pro- duced by high frequency waves con- tained in the partitions. llowever. it is impossible to live on this ideal piazza since water freezes solid and butter melts. The shopping problem for the belle of the sixties is etfectively solved by television sets which record the latest bargains in meat cuts and millinery. Not satisfied with merely seeing such bargains, Mrs. Jones must feel the tex- ture of the material and model for herself. NVhile the invisible man, Elec- tronic , answers the phone and records calls, Mrs. Jones, without a care in the world, boards her little flivver plane and shortly arrives at the downtown department store several hundred miles away just as its roof is rapidly filling up with more little flivver planes, also containing early bargain seekers. NVhile Mrs. Jones busily shops in the crowded stores for shoes of plas- tic, a stylish spring frock of rock wool, and a new bonnet, a ravishing thing composed of glass, supper is cooking at home - that is if all the buttons, badgets, and clocks have bee11 set cor- rectly.

HSE Our Debt T 0 by June Bousley EXT to tl1e comic strips, news re- ports and analysts receive the most attention from the public. The close competition is possible because of the interesting handling, arresting style, Hllfl dynamic realism with which news reports are written. To get their stories news correspondents are dodg- ing bullets on the battlefront with soldiers and insults on the political front with statesmen. The reality of their experience contributes to the ef- fectiveness of their reports. The bullet-like speed with which their reports are sent to us is possible because of the smooth organization of news collecting agencies. The Associ- ated Press is the eldest, factual, and a bit proud of it. The linited Press, the younger rival, enlivens cut and dried facts with style, personality, and opin- ion. International News Service is the sensational youngest sister in the pro- fession, a slick little chick with more popularity than her older sisters. The editors of these news concerns have a big job keeping their charges in order and at the same time providing the news that the public demands. Radio as well as newspapers receive the bulk of their IIFXVS from these three agencies. The big networks employ re- write men who tit the news for broad- cast, editors, and analysts. Radios advantage is its direct broadcast of political speeches and the receiving of shortwave broadcasts. These short- Kill!! 5 The Newsmen waves are recorded and replayed it anything important is said. Another big news organization is the syndicate, offering the work ot high-priced special feature writers, eartoonists. and columnists at reason- able rates to thousands of papers. Among the syndicated columnists are Dorothy Thompson, NVestbrook Pegler. Eleanor Roosevelt, and Ray- mond Clapper. VValter NVinchell once accused Dorothy Thompson of taking part in subversive bund,' activities, but that is the way he gets acquainted with most people. She is pro-German but could never be accused of being pro-Nazi. Lippmau, another sound news analyst. supported VVoodrow XVilson and the League in the last war and now preaches power politics. Before 1932 Lippman claimed Roosevelt was just another pleasant chap who wanted to be president and later kept up his unfailing record of always supporting the loser by favoring the Landon cam- paign. Pegler, a well-esteemed cohun- nist, never received a high-school edu- cation but was well equipped with a natural ability of handling words beau- tifully. Ultra-conservative and virtu- ous, Pegler opposed Roosevelt, both the New Deal and the divorces of the Roosevelt children, and high income bracket taxes this own salary is 860.000 a yearj. He has performed a public service, however, by Peglarizing several dishonest government officials. More than any other columnist Eleanor KRWDSZEEBEEEKKKEEBEEHEQEQEKKEE Roosevelt reflects the policies of the YVhite House. In My Dayl' she re- leases trial balloons for her husband besides recounting her trips. Clapper, a very keen observer and interesting writer, was killed while doing his job. His death is a poignant reminder of the danger which many war correspona dents daily face. All these syndicated columnists and correspondents have been criticized by their contemporaries ' for spreading mass misinformation. They are falli- bleg in fact one or two Well-known columnists claimed before Pearl Har- bor that increased armaments were an unnecessary burden, but ncver have any deliberately misinterpreted their material. Like any ordinary mortal, they have prejudices, but they at least attempt to submerge them. Uur country is fortunate in having' outspoken commentators. even thoug'h war has enforced two restrictions, cen- sorship and propaganda. fl9!lSOI'b1lllD protects the secreey of our military movementsg propaganda saves lives and shortens the war by spreading' seeds of discontent among' the enemy popu- lation, Both are contrary to a free press, but both are demanded in total war. The attitude toward censorship on the home front is one of half-hearted resentment. Editors. reviewing' the news as a whole, feel that it is fairly well represented. The majority of peo- ple feel that some vital information is withheld but are uncertain about the amount or necessity. lt is the corre- spondent who openly rebels against censorship. They see at first hand many of their prized reports slashed, as they say, by incompetent censors. Naturally censorship is justified. Nazi ag'ents are ready to pay 3460 for an American paper. To decrease the danger of revealing any of the infor- mation they are so anxious to get, our government limits the publication of news. This fundamental fact is not always appreciated by the public. NVl1en the news of General Doolittle bombing of Tokyo was withheld a year, it seemed an unnecessarily long period of restriction. It was done for a very reason. ln the first place the bombing was an aircraft carrier opera- a feat not often accomplished with the type of bomber used, and the Japs were fishing' for this information. good tion. The pilots had made a crash landing' in Japan and were prisoners. ln defer- ence to them nothing' was printed about the incident that might induce the curi- ous -laps to torture information out of their prisoners. Propaganda is a very effective weapon of war despite the unpleasant sound it has in our ears. Compared to Russia with her simple. shrewd tactics in propaganda, we are naive. sloppy novices. The qualities necessary for making' a success of propaganda are singleness of purpose, the ability to tell half truths or untruths that put the right light on an incident, prejudice, and selfishness. These are the very UEPEZEIEVEKKBGHEKKQEK qualities we tight against in our news- papers. Propaganda docs not pervade publications inside the country, but it is a necessary element in dealing with our enemy. On battlefronts propaganda has the explosive qualities of an incendiary bomb. In action, highly organized com- bat units seize radio stations and news plants. Occupation units then broad- cast strictly unbiased news. In Italy surrender tickets were bombed into 'Italian garrisons. These tickets en- titled the holder to one meal of Ameri- can food with his surrender. Enter- prising Italians were soon running a black market in meal tickets to the overjoyed Italian soldiers. However perfumed and palatable are the reports on our domestic affairs which we send abroad, the news on the home front is issued straight and unexpurgated. On the radio and in newspapers we 'have a comprehensive view of world affairs, unpleasant as they are. A distinctive voice and clever deliv- ery are keynotes of success on the radio. NValter VVinchell's sharp, stac- cato accents make even the announce- ment of another divorce sound as sen- sational as news of a second front. Gabriel Heaters morosely-toned voice has sold t'I3arbasol and dished out cupcakes of optimism and patriotism with equal success. Lowell Thomas, an inveterate globe trotter, has an awak- ening quality in his voice - when he isnlt talking through miles of static I from a New Guinea Island or Arctic outpost. But there are several commentators who, even lacking the tonal eloquence of cinemactors, have a wide following. Raymond Gram Swings hoarse whis- per isn't exactly the Hollywood ver- sion of what the successful commen- tators should sound like, but he has a. strong following of educated lis- teners including President Roosevelt. Kaltenborn's pinched scholarly accents voice words with a great deal of sense. He has very definite and intelligent opinions about the news he announces. Fulton Lewis, a very sane and unspec- tacular speaker, expresses very straight- forward truths about capitol affairs. People recognize his honesty and are more ready to listen to him than some of his more glamorous contemporaries. Radio supports men also in foreign capitols. Shirer was the unlucky man chosen to cover Germany. He revived himself occasionally with breathing spaces in Switzerland. Edward Mur- row, patroling London, has done a good job reporting local color, opinion, and factual news. One of his most stirring announcements was his description of London burning after a blitz while he stood on a roof top. Newspaper correspondents do an equally good job. On the political front in national capitols they have shown tendencies to identify themselves with the country. But never has one fallen for dictatorship. Most correspondents have been ousted from Berlin, Rome, 34 KKKKKIEQEKKIKUI and Tokyo for expressing their opinion about the government in undisguised terms. Sachiner, feeling that he can still do some good, compromised his seruples and remained in Berlin though he has had to weather considerable criticism. On the battlefront correspondents have lived under the same conditions and faced tl1e same dangers as the soldiers. Ace reporter Ernie Pyle hohnobs only witl1 soldiers under the rank of sergeant. Steinbeck, eloquent novelist and dramatist, has followed Ernie's footsteps and associated only with noneoms. Pyle interprets human nature behind the linesg Steinbeck em- phasizes the loss of a soldier's person- ality and the strain of consthntly fae- ing death. Hanson lialdwin and Ar- thur Kroek, experts on military stra- tegy. keep New York Times readers well informed about the war. Joseph Harseh and Roscoe Drummond are two more reasons why the Christian Sei- enee Monitor is a reliable paper on bat- tlefront news. John Thomas of the Chic-ago Tribune collects his news the hard way. Descending from a plane with his typewriter wafting below on a separate parachute, he got graphie, eyewitness accounts of the battle in Sic-ily. Many others like these are do- ing a great job giving the people at tome an idea of what war really is. Despite all the criticism of tl1e press ind radio e- too lurid, controlled. and lietated by the President, etc. - I 'hink there is reason for us to appre- lllllllll eiate their service to the public. The war has been the newsmen's lnig as- signment for the past few years. They have handled it well and brought a dramatic. reliable story to us. Class Day Parts CLASS HISTORY by Sophie Budzianowski OUGHENED by four years in high school of rationed pleasures and unrationed studies, we feel prepared to faee the future outlined for us by hopeful parents and optimistic teachers. 'With a few hlushes and a bit of regret. l will reeall the outstanding events of those years. Our freshman year was a series of minor mixups and major mishaps. Self-confident and polished with last minute grammar school instruction, we entered high school as freshmen. The polish soon wore ott. lt was scutfed off in the lines passing through the eorridors, withered by rebuking glanees from the teachers, and worn, thin by contaet with upper classmen. NVe fully realized what the name freshman meant when initiation day came, and we were smeared with 'tKissproof , robbed of our shoes. and taught that heaven was reserved for seniors only. Before long we had acquired enough dignity to elect as our leaders Carleton Clement. Ann Blake, Dorothy Arsen- ault, and Nelson Pascoe. Vile were EKIEIKBIKIIIKK-Bl IBCTCSCBEEKII now ready to attend to the social side of life. Vtlith the money collected from gum chewers and other jaw exercises in our Science Club, we held a Science Social. lt was an impressive event. Two plays were staged, a plasma- curdling western and a stirring pan- tomime in three acts. Joanne Fuller played the part of Wild Nell, an ad- venturous little flower of the prairie, with a come-hither wink. ln the pan- tomime Edgar Smith crouched under a table ready to crawl out with it in the dramatic finale when the announcer intoned, 'tThe lamp went outfi After the dramatics we were taught the Vir- ginia reel by no other than Miss Bloodg and Mr. Conary himself was in danger of losing his pants when a frantic fresh- man grabbed them for support. ln classes, too, we found a great deal of excitement. Mr. Conary, again, con- structed an electric chair and invited us to experience the sensations of the convicted. Psychologically it was a success A we learned to be careful about where we sat after that. Vile tried another experiment in electricity. Two of the freshmen took hold of an electric current. The rest of the class held hands to make a circuit. We all got a shock - but not only from the elec- tricity. lt was our first experience holding hands in public. lVe girls can never forget the ex- citing stranger that visited us that year, David Patton. As a refugee from England he had had many exciting adventures and he spoke with the most divine accent! lVc pumped him with questions just to hear those beautifully clipped words roll out. lVe wound up our freshman year being chased out of dark corners inte the cafeteria at noon time by Al YVaite, The next September we returned tc work with revived enthusiasm and a bit of the initial rust worn off. YVE chose for our leaders this year Joanne Fuller, John Pechilis, Dorothy Arsen- ault, and Nelson Pascoe. An optimis- tic start at least. Better acquainted with each other this year we unearthed many peculi- arities and weird characteristics Hovey's terrific pronunciation which 'went as far as converting Hcorselet' to corset , stunned us. The teachers gradually became accustomed to Den- ning's hairpin turns through the cor- ridors and his ingeniously abrupt re- marks in class. And then we had Bug- den to contend with in the sophomore year. The girls had gym for the first tinn with Miss Houston as instructor. The first problem was to get gym suits tc satisfy the taste of all. The blue-eyed blondes won out for a flattering hlue color, the green-eyed brunettes retired in silence. Perhaps our new athletic ventures influenced us to adopt strictly sports wear around the classes. At any rate, slacks became popular and girls sat or otherwise reposed with more assur- ance and less propriety than ever be- fore. KEKKKEEEKEKIKKEEKEKHEKE XVe lost our favorite cook and gained a new friend while still sophomores. Danny Nevins, who could lick any girl baking apple pies or bread, left to favor navy men with his delectable concoctions. Rae Everitt, our new class-- mate, charmed the red-headed wonder boy, Tommy Bamford. Both jumped the junior year to become seniors and graduate a year before us. Tarnished but resolute after two whole years in I.H.S. rah! rah! we moved sedately into junior rooms. This year we chose John Pechilis, Ann Blake, June Bousley, and Richard Chapman for our officers. Class rings were first brought to our attention. Some ordered rings a bit too small, just in case, some ordered them a bit too large, just in the other case. VVe waited till the end of the year to get them, then wiggled them in public and twirled them on our fingers till the band was worn loose and the tiger giggled in its setting. 'We had our Junior Prom this year and made a splendid spectacle march- ing in the grand march with long gowns and tics. Mothers wielded their hand- kerehiefs and pointed out their respec- tive fledglings to everyone within see- ing distance. It was indeed a solemn moment when we scutfed around the auditorium trying to keep high heels or cuff li11ks in order. For the first time we were introduced to the un- traeked jungles of the science of chem- istry, and to United States History. Ewing made a point of taking sev- BEE-lllliiill-BER!!!-!EElllEK5llElll9l5l eral deep breaths before entering his- tory - to last over since once shegot in, she didn 't dare breathe. Many a junior chemist was discov- ered in Mr. Couary's chemistry class. Pete Bedrosian, one of these, had an unusual obsession for making gun- powder and nitroglycerin. Ile taught our class chemistry for the remainder of the year after Mr. Conary left to become an instructor in the air corps. A chorus of senior girls hummed Gene- vieve, Sweet Genevievel' to him during these sessions to keep him happy. Many of our popular boys left us this year - Nelson Pascoe, Carleton Clement, NVililam Burns, John Dra- goni, Robert Gratfum, Arthur Vlahos, George Genakakis, Arthur Costoponlos, and Robert Cronin. The call of duty won out over the cries of the girls left behind. A At last chapel our marching into senior seats was really something to see. No longer did we push, block, or tackle our neighbor to get possession of the seat we wanted. lVe marched in, to tl1e tune of Mr. Tozer's piano play- ing. VVe enjoyed that moment despite the smirks from the still superior seniors on the stage. ln the fall we 1na1'ched for a second time with more self-confidence to the fulfillment of our freshman dream. Our leaders now were John Pechilis, Anne Blake. Genevieve Dudek, and Richard f'hapn1an. The annual barn dance with its broken cider bottles, eternal seven-in EERE!!!-KKUEMKKEKEIEKIEHBEWCEIQEIE and seven-out, and shoes intentionally lost, was the most successful school activity carried out. A premature gift from Santa was the senior class day followed by a Christmas vacation complete with ice and snow. lncidentally, the latter wasn't the only premature gift. On our favoured day skirts appeared above, the knees and flashy ties were really something to see. , The inevitable question of whether or not to wear caps and gowns was brought up soon after. The seniors were all prepared to speak out for their own side when we entered class meeting that day. Haley was squarely set against the caps and gowns. Kay Haritos plucked up enough cou1'age to oppose him with the argument that the same gown could not be worn at both the graduation and the reception. XVho could tell -- o11e might spill food or ice-cream on it when celebrating gradu- ation - and, well, - you know how slow laundries arc. Haley's pointed retort - Miss Haritos, why aren't you more careful when you eat? Cape and gowns lost out despite the girls' stalwart stand. NVe had little argument over other vital subjects, however. XVe were unanimously in favour of having re- ception on a separate night - let's hope we are unanimous in attendance. Only one or two C.O.'s tcontending othersj voted against Purdy's as our class photographer. XVe are inclined to believe Purdy won because of stunning lillllllllll-lil!!! ill!!!-UE-HEUEBHEIEI samples of a stylized version of Ver- onica Lake and a youthful Cary Grant. But even Purdy could not touch up our phiz to what we imagined it should be. One of our classmates who amazed us from the freshman class on is Mary Andrewskiewicz. A happy-go-lucky girl, she was often absent or dismissed yet never needed a slip for admittance. Her attendance in class Was, to put it mildly, irregular, yet she got higher marks than many of us. Just plain luck, weid call it and, to give her credit, a bit of genius. VVe deeply regretted losing Burton Cloyd to the army, George Hulbert, to the navy, Peter Bedrosian to North- eastern, and later Stanly Pikul and Fred Rodzen to the navy. Study hall seemed vast and vacant without them. This record would not be complete without bringing to your attention the many classical names among our number. A visitor from Mars or from another sphere would be puzzled and think perhaps he was back in classic Greece when he found himself :fon- fronted by Menelaus, Euripides, Cleo- patra, and Helectra. Little though we realized it at the time, we have much to thank the teachers for in our four years of high school. They pumped, cajoled, and induced us to make a success of our English, to try four years of math, and to master the elements of a for- eign language. VVe once thought these subjects were stumbling blocks 011 our KQEKEEBEQEEQEEQEKBEEBEREREKEBEEE smooth road to graduation. Now we realize their importance and appreciate the perserverance of the teachers who performed the miracle of beating a little knowledge into our youthful minds.

Fine, and you? DOT. Tops. IIALEY. Gee, that's good. Have you seen or heard anything' about the old gang lately? DOT. Oh, yes, but first, tell me about yourself.

She married a movie star and is coming into her own as a famous actress eomedienne. DOT. I certainly should like to see Kay. Libby IVade is another famous actress. Shes starring' in the success- ful revival on Broadway of Life With Father. HALEY. Hmmm- there seem to be quite a few actors in our old class. Remember how lVillie Jahnke and Donald liugden could play the piano? XVell, they have now a team like that of Clarl Moore and Ray Gerardin on the radio. DOT. l'm not surprised. Did you see the stage show at the Paramount? Richard Chapman is playing with Tommy Dorsey. Jr.'s band there, and that suave eharaeter. Menalaus Nakis is master of ceremonies. HAIAEY. NVell, there's nothing like picking the man for the job. l hap- pened to visit the NValdorf-Astoria once. Al Hulbert was the featured dancer. DOT. Say, I ,just remembered. Out at VVarner Brothers, the Gallant sis- ters, Helen and liena, are two of Pere lVestmore's most highly paid make-up experts. illllllll HE!! HALEY. No kidding? Remember Virginia Maclieod? VVell, she is now a Powers model. DOT. Oh, t'Senator, that reminds me. Cl'ulls out a magazinej Look! HALEY. QTaking in all of pictured NVell, l'll be darned if it isn't Marie Bailey! DOT. Right! And you'll never guess who paints her picture. HIALEY. Oh, yeah, .l bet I knowl Burton Cloyd! I DOT. You guessed it. You know, l remember hack in '44 Cleo Vlahos al- ways said she wanted to travel around the world - and can you imagine my surprise when I saw in the rotogravurc section of the Heraldl' Cleo sitting on the steps of the Acropolis! HALEY. Oh, yes, it's a sma' wor'd f'r al that! On the other hand, it seems to me that a lot of our classmates stuck pretty close to lpswich or thereabouts. Take John Pechilis for instance. He is president of the one and only bank of Rowley, and his two clerks are John and Euripedes Markos. Banking hours should agree with them. DOT. And look at Nellie Frydrych. She now superintends the Cable Me- morial Hospital and Sophie Budzian- owski is the head dietician. HALEY. Sure, and there's Arthur Costopoulos. He and Arthur Vlahos have monopolized the clam business under the lpswich Clam lndustries, Ltd. DOT. Your speaking of Arthur Cos- topoulos puts me in mind of his sister, Constance. She and Tiny Tgavalekos are telephone operators in Ipswich. Helen liaterowicz is postmistress, and Eleanor Stone has finally become inan- ager of the Five and Ten. HALEY. And Robert Gratfum, com- monly known as Rabbit, and a great hunter and trapper, has a hunting lodge on Black lsland. DOT. Speaking of hunting, whatever happened to that necessary nuisance, Robert Denning? HALEY. Oh, 'tDuckhunter ? NVhy, he's the president, proprietor, and owner of the Denning Duck Hunting and Dressing Assn. DOT. Your mentioning monopolies a while back puts me in mind of Fred-- die Babcock. He ls now taken over G.E. and Vllestinghouse and combined them into the Babcock Electrical Appliances, lnc. HALEY. Oh, yes, and I hear that John Dragoni is head of the electrical engineering department. Say, you re- member that sheik, Peter Bedrosian? XVell, he 's bought the Monsanto Chemi- cal Company, lock, stock, and barrel, and comes to Work in a zoot suit with a reet pleat and a drape shape. Gre- tarose Beaton is his private lawyer, DOT. YVell, somehow, Senator, private lawyers always remind me of private secretaries, who in turn make me think of Jody Fuller, a well-known journalist, who has for her private sec- retary, Dot VVilkins. lElE9E?G!Z?!K!2!9SHE5l9ElHElElGll-K?-E HALEY. Journalism brings to mind the fact that June Bousley is editor- in-ehief of the New York Daily Record. 'l DOT. Oh, really? You know when we were speaking of hospitals just now I was trying to recall something that I eouldn't quite get, but l know now. I was trying to think of Alice Ewing, who is a nurse at a Boston hospital. l understand all the internes are nuts about her. HALEY. Talking about nurses, in an answer to a letter last week. the present principal of l.ll,S. informed me that Frieda l'risby and Georgia Speliotis are the two school nurses, and that Genevieve Dndek is the phy- sieal ed instructor at the school. - DOT. Speaking of physical educa- tion. l happened to glance in B. H. Maeeys window in New York, a11d whom did l see demonstrating the comforts of Macey's beauty rest mat- tress. but Mary Andrewskiewicz. HALEY. Do tell! By the bye, what's become of Ann Blake, anyway? DOT. Oh, Ann 's a buyer for Filenes and you can't guess the objects of her searches. HALEY. Baby clothes! DOT. Of course not, stupid, founda- tion garments! Say, perhaps you can tell me what our old pal Dorothy Dolan has got into. HALEY. Oh, 'tSpeed ? NVhy, shes a famous driver on the lndian- apolis Speedway! Her friend, Helen Parsons. is the champion tennis player of the world. tSnaps fingersj Oh, by the way, that reminds nie. Fred Rodzen and Edgar Smith are tpitcher and catcher for the Boston Braves, while Stanley Pickul is center fielder. DOT. lVell, Senator this isn't about sports. but have you looked closely at your folding money lately? IIALEY. NVhy, no n1ore'p1 usual, why? DOT. XVell, instead of Henry Mor- genthau's signature, whose name now appears on the lower right hand corner of the dark side but Louis Pappalni- hiel'sl HALEY. NVell, l'll be dipped! Y'know, that name lllorgenthau puts me in mind of Ilelene Morgan, who used to ride to school on the bus with me. She now owns a busline of her own, operating regularly between 'Row- ley and Ipswich. Another Bowley girl, Anna Sheehan. has organized a swing and sway club with Claire Morin, a professional hula dancer, as instructor. DOT. Speaking of dancing, remem- ber John NVoodbury, the fellow who used to donate records for all the school dances? He's collected such a number of them that he had to build a separate house to keep them in. Ile now conducts an all night record pro- gram for O.B.S. HALEY. Oh, say, Dot, did you ever go to the Topsiield Fair? tDot nods.J I was there last September. A travel- ing stage show was one of the attrac- tions with Thelma lllarcorelle and Helen Pappas selling patent medicine.

The ventriloquist was Charles Bayley, and f'Slappey,'l the dummy, was none other than Mickey Gross! DOT. XVish I could have seen that. IIALEY. XVell, Dot. I guess we've covered most of our classmates. VVho else is there? DOT. NVell, there's George Giana- kakis, who used his training in the Army Engineers to become a contrac- tor for building bridges. HALEY. Oh, yes, and therels Robert Cronin, a cabinet maker who specializes in the reconditioning of antiques. DOT. Robert Iieet is now president of the Ipswich Pin Boys' Local Club. HALEY. Carl VVenblad, in spite of all we used to say about him, has be- come Einstein's successor! DOT. Bessie Chionopoulos runs a day nursery with Electra Dabos as her assistant! HALEY. Billy Burns . . . DOT. Oh, Senator, look! ipoints to the skyj, there goes the plane I'm supposed to be on! HALEY. Ahem! As I was saying, the pilot of that plane is none other than the great flight Lt.

Sports N the fall of 1940, as grreen fresh- men, a squad of thirty to forty boys lined up gingerly before Coach Burke. After a month had passed that same group confidently formed a junior var- sity football team which proved its merit, showing enthusiasm, tougrhening' muscles, talent, and a promise for the teams of the following three years. linder the direction of Coach Conary this same enthusiastic group made up a freshman basketball string and, coached by Jim Burke, a loose, but hopeful baseball team. Such were freshman sports in preparation for fu- ture competition. Consequently, the following' year we were proud of one of our fellow class members, Al Dailitka, who bucked his way to a well-earned position on the Varsity football team and during bas- ketball season won an honorable posi- tion along with VVillie Michon and Rabbit Graffum on the basketball team. After a successful sports year of '42, with many victories and more valuable experience, junior year found our small sports world in a turmoil. Since the war had drawn many of our boys into Review the different branches of the service, there was but a skeleton of eligible males left. Basketball and baseball were discontinued for the year. Foot- ball, however, still remained, not too successful, but still showing' the en- thusiasm and fighting' spirit typical of l.H.S. Dailitka pulled down the cap- taincy, backed up by Gratfum, Pechilis, Michon, and Pikul, 'ttirst swingers, and a few other juniors on the second string. Still more ditficulties arose during' our senior year. lVithout a physical director or coach after Mr. Conary had entered the Air Forces, sports were discontinued completely. Then, a spark of hope glowed with the coming of our new coach, Mr. Heiden, who suc- cessfully formed a basketball team of eager fellows of which two senior members, Pechilis kllltl Louis Pappami- hiel made the Varsity. These five fight- ing' joppers led by Captain Machaj tri- umphantly pulled down victory after victory but suffered their first defeat at Rockport with a score of twenty- nine to twenty-four. This defeat was the turning point of our victory streak and resulted in losses to Beverly, Y.M. C.A., Manchester, St. Ann of Glouces- ter, and Newburyport. i 524593!fE?G!E5Zli?E5E!E'K?ZF5lECPf'5.PZ'EfE5Q'Q Z2EEHATQE Z'Q?Sl'.ZUl .?E?1S'EfEf'-'5.!E!Z!3'5LZl'E'5!E43!E?ZfE'EE!G!5!E?E'E2E'E?f?. -E9 4-u BOYS' BASKETBALL Front Row Cleft to rightb Gary Somers, George Singer, George Bouzianis, Byard Horsman, James Wile, Louis Pappamihiel.
