We have already lived through one of the most turbulent periods in the history of our country and many of us have sacrificed the pleasures of the moment for the pur- pose of helping to bring the world out of its turmoil. We have been hardened for the task before us and with deter- mination and confidence we promise we can and will do our part. ANNI OPTIMI T would be comforting to agree with Robert Browning when he said: Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be. However, we of the Class of '45 think probably that a quotation with an adverse idea such as The best has passed would be more applicable to us. That may seem like a pessimistic attitude, but we must confess that we have had the best time of our lives in the past four years, particularly in the last year. At no other time have we experienced or do we expect to experience the enjoyment that came with those four years, not only from knowing that we were maturing and gaining knowledge and experience but also from just plain having fun , such as we felt when attending a high school dance, watching an Ipswich High victory in athletics, singing in the corridors on senior day, or from such seemingly trivial things as Watch- ing Bouzianis make his daily trip to the wastebasket for the purpose of depositing gum, or listening to Bedro- sian and Brown emit puns, or watch- ing Cruikshank stammer humorously through the answer to a question. Of course, our senior year saw the culmination of this enjoyment, perhaps because we were the magnidomini of the students then. At any rate, in this year we realized more than ever what a good time we were having and we knew that we would regret leaving the scene of it all. Though some of us may have said during our senior year that we would be glad to get out of this school, down inside we knew that we didn't mean it. VVe knew that after graduation we would wish many times to be back in high school and that in memory, at least, we would often come back, for our high school days can never be forgotten. Literary THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING IN EARNEST ABOUT SCHOOL OST of us do not realize while we are in school suffering with homework, tests, and the like, the im- portance and value of education. How- ever, when we remember that school attendance is compulsory, it seems only sensible to get as much out of it as possible. As time goes on, success in the world seems to depend more and more not only on education but on our attitude toward it. Conscientious effort in school results in satisfaction and develops qualities that constitute a strong character. We know that in many public high schools, brilliant students are looked down upon as being goody-goodie. Everyone is careful not to show any signs of brilliance so that he will not be put in this category. However, in college and in later life it is a different story. Everyone then takes pride in his intelligence a11d is very much em- barrassed when obviously ignorant on a subject. c Perhaps education should be thought of in the same manner as a competitive game, such as tennis or basketball. The object is to show one 's skill - to win. In the matter of school work, students should feel this spirit of competition and achievement, each one trying to do his best. Another way to realize the import- ance of conscientious study is to con- sider going to school as our job. It is our present responsibility i11 life and we should meet it with serious effort. Earnestness is a virtue that we should all want to acquire, for it is one of the keys to success. If we are earnestly ambitious, we can progress to the goal of an abundant life. ---Constance Kelly ,'45 DOODLING S I sit here, dreamily watching the sea gulls soaring above and the flag flapping lazily in the breeze, I find myself, like all intelligent people, doodling. Now. I stop to look over my artistic masterpiece, I wonder how Miss Hayes could give an artist like me anything lower than an A, for I find I doodled many an interesting doodle. Take, for instance, this little six-legged doodle bug with his antenna curled, his back spotted, and l1is face resembling that of Hiro Hito. Or look at those silly hats, resembling those I look down upon from the choir loft each Sunday morning. Look at that kind of contraption with feathers and balls, that o11e sits upon her headeat an angle out of this world. And there is my dream telephone, one of those smooth, creamy-colored ones that only movie stars ever have. Oh, what's that little doodle up in the corner? Why, it 's Smitty. I really am a clever person. And last, but not least, here is my idea of a sundae: a triple decker with every kind of nuts, sauces, and fruits that would fit into a sundae dish, which I believe is much too small. Now, the last of my doodles have been gone over and, as I slump back into my favorite position, I try to re- member what I was thinking when I doodled these absurd figures. Ah, an English composition. I glance at the clock - it 's time for the bell to ring and what will Miss Blodgett say? I have nothing to pass in but this - my doodling. -Ruth Lindgren, '47 THE PASSING OF THE OLD FORD OAR iWith apologies to Oliver Wendell I-Iolmesl Ay, tear her battered numbers QE, Long has she run on high, And many a Packard voice has cussed To hear her rattling by. Beneath her we have tugged and sweat, While grease dripped on the floor, The Lizzie of the dusty roads ' Shall climb the hills no more. 22 Her mudguards, red with rust, and bent From many a parking crush, Her spark plugs choked, her timer Q fouled, - She plowed through mud and slush. No more she 'll bark her coughing way Through city traffic maze, The harpies of the junk yard pick The Ford of bygone days. Oh, better that her rattling frame Should yield in one grand crash, Her roaring shook the broad highway, I-Iave there her final smash. Fill to the brim her leaking tank, Open her throttle wide, And give her to the traffic cops, A flivver suicide. -Herman Nelson, '45 I Ill!!! Graduation Essays THE G. I. BILL OF RIGHTS By David Johnson NE of the numerous and complex problems that America must cope with immediately, one that will be even greater after the war, is that of the education of its returning veterans. A large percentage, approximately 1,000,000, of America's fighting men and women have voiced their desire for a higher education on their return from the conflict. Many of them have returned already. It will cost the government SF1,000,000,000, a very in- considerable amount when compared with the cost of the war sacrifices the boys have made. Just what educational opportunities and facilities do the colleges, univer- sities, and government of the United States offer to returning veterans? In a recent survey of thirty representa- tive educational institutions it was found that returning servicemen ad- justed themselves to the classroom with comparatively little difficulty, and that with a little leniency on the part of the school authorities with regard to admission requirements and the type of programs offered, the veterans out- stripped the civilian students. In gen- eral the majority of tl1e returning veterans displayed a temporary lack of initiative and inability to make de- cisions. It was, however, very evident that they had a much more serious attitude toward their studies and strove for the maximum benefits from them. The dificulty of readjustment by the minority was due to, as one service- man attending New York University remarked, Reacclimatizing myself to a college basis of education immedi- ately after army training. Most institutions offer a six to eight weeks' refresher course to servicemen, to get them into the studying habit and as a general adjustment period. To those who have not completed their high school education special non-credit subjects and courses are ofered. The greatest step this country has taken towards the education of its returning veterans is the UG. I. Bill of Rights. It was formulated roughly by Senator Thomas of Utah in 1944 and was revised and passed by Con- gress shortly after. Through this bill the government has tossed the whole educational program into the hands of American education. The bill gives the educators a great opportunity but also a grave responsibility. Under this bill veterans are eligible for full benefits if they were under twenty-five years of age on their induction into the service and were in the active military or naval service on or after September 11, 1940 and prior to the termination of World NVar ll, or if they have served ninety days in the service and their discharge was anything but dishonor- able. lf the veteran is discharged be- fore the end of the war, he must file his application within two years of the termination of the warg but if he is discharged after the end of the war, his application must be filed within two years of the day he was discharged. The government, by this bill, promises to pay a maximum of 95500 to cover the cost of tuition, books, equipment, lab- oratory, etc., to the school for one ordinary school year. To the veteran the government will pay 3650 a month for the time he is in school and for regular holidays and leave of not more than thirty days in one calendar year. If the veteran has one or more depen- dents, he will receive 3275 a month in- stead of 3550 on the same basis. The government really pays for everything except the G. I.'s room and board. But! pay may be reduced or withdrawn entirely if the student receives pay for work as part of his apprenticeship or training program. Any eligible G. I. may go to any private, public, or other school for the education of adults provided it is approved by the state approving agency which is to be designated by the Vet- erans' Administration as the approv- ing agency and provided he can meet the entrance requirements of the school. The school does not necessarily have to be in the state where the G. I. re- sides or even in the United States, so long as it is approved by some branch of the Veterans, Administration. How- ever, the school, not the Veterans' Ad- ministration, will determine whether he is acceptable as a student and whether he is qualified to pursue the course of training he selects. He must also keep up to the standards of the school, for if he cannot, his benefits under the bill may be discontinued. As to the length of time the veteran may attend school the bill provides that any veteran who is eligible, which is to be designated by the previously stated eligibility requirements, is eligi- ble for a minimum of one basic year and a maximum of four years educa- tion. In addition to the one basic year a veteran is eligible for a period of study equal to his or her service be- tween September 16, 1940, and the termination of the war. Special train- ing courses taken in the Army or Navy which were continuations of civilian courses taken prior to induction will not be counted if the training was completed. If, however, at the end of the first year the veteran has made satisfactory progress in the opinion of the institution he is attending, in ac- cordance with the regularly prescribed standards of the institution he will be allowed to continue his education for three more years at the expense of the government providing he main- tains the standard of good work. But what is the significance of all this planning? What does it really mean? lt means that the government with the co-operation of educational institutions is undertaking a costly and somewhat experimental program. By this undertaking the government hopes to do several things: chiefly, to raise the intellectual standards of Americag to give the returning veterans a new chance and a head start on their civil- ian lifeg and to prevent their having to sell apples on the street corner. This G. l. Bill of Rights and the planning of each individual educational institu- tion for returning ahead of anything done after the last war for their benefit that the two situa-- tions are hardly comparable. During and after the first World ,War the government helped only the disabled with some slight vocational trainingg and after the first World War Sieg- fried Sassoon could write such bitterly sarcastic lines as the following, which although they were probably describ- ing England's neglect of her soldiers were just as true of our own: veterans is so far Do they matter ?-those dreams from the pit? You can drink and forget and be glad, And people won't say that you 're madg For they'll know that you fought for your country And no o11e will worry a bit.', This time the country is worrying and preparing to embark upon a pro- gram which will demonstrate to its fighting men that the people have not forgotten their sacrifices and are grate- ful to the extent of providing for them substantially by supplying what can never be taken from them - an edu- cation. EPIC OF THE FRENCH UNDERGROUND By Eva Morin N the spring of l94U, the French Army, disheartened and beaten by the overwhelmingly stronger forces of tl1e Germans, thought only of the black and gloomy present. The Germans tried to poison the people by a contaminated press filled with propaganda. They made the people believe that they were to devote all their efforts toward build- ing up the Third Reich and the New Order and ruled their subjects with an iron hand. The people couldn't move an inch without seeing a detested swastika or a uniform of the German Army of occupation. ln spite of this apparent defeat and loss of freedom, however, the French love of liberty was not dead. No sooner had the Germans occu- pied France, than the French, a proud lllllllllli IIEIEUIKEIEIEIEBEIIII . and independent people, began to re- volt secretly to save their country from complete annhilation and humiliation, and to regain their self-respect and their pride as a nation. They risked their lives for the little liberty offered in resistance movements. The people fought against the Vichy regime, which was to them worse than that of the Nazis - French participation in Ger- man oppression of Frenchmen. In spite of German arrests, murders, spies, informers, and the control of the press, radio, and all out-going mail, the underground, which originally be- gan by acts of personal: vengeance, became united and strong. Notwithstanding great obstacles, the organizations of the resistance move- ments forged papers, helped stranded Royal Air Force men escape, got fac- tual data on all German activities, and persuaded the people to collect and give money for the cause. Resistance against oppression welded people of all creeds, of all political be- liefs, and of all types, both rich and poor, to work smoothly together for victory. In the fight for freedom, the French used sabotage, the Maquis, and news- papers to overcome the Germans and their evil deeds. All phases of the re- sistance movements were equally dan- gerous and had the same penalty - death if captured. The leaders in these fields were chosen for their ability, not for former wealth or position - ability made authority. In order to weaken the enemy and to lower his morale, the French peo- ple committed sabotage in important places during blackouts. Sabotage methods included the destruction of railroad tracks, the poisoning of Ger- man food, the cutting of vital telephone and telegraph wires, and the firing of fuel dumps. To commit these acids, the saboteurs, often women and older men, were taught by school teachers and former soldiers to be alert, wily, and to give careful attention to minute details. One of the cleverest acts of the sabo- tours was to put an abrasive on bear- ings made at one factory. When the various parts were assembled, the ma- chine would run well at first but would soon break down for some mysterious unaccountable reason. Such sabotage rattled the nerves of the Nazis and finally forced them to close many vital factories. 1 On D-Day, sabotage acts delayed German rein- forcements for twenty-four hours. Another phase of the war for inde- pendence appeared when the traitor Laval issued the order that all young men were to report for slave labor in Germany. The men took to the woods and formed the guerrilla band called the Maquis. Although the Maquis, who were led by former French Army officers, lacked arms, they did not lack faith, and in that faith performed daring deeds by means of which they stole from the Germans most of the arms they used. llEKlll?lE!lllllllllllll!lllll-Ill!!! In one instance, five Maquis, dressed in French Army uniforms, stole four wagons of food and supplies which were waiting to be shipped into Ger- many. The German sentries thought the disguised Maquis were following German orders. The members of the Corps Francs or Shock Troops, an active division of the freedom-loving Maquis were equal to the British and American comman- dos in their hard, reckless courage, their stamina, and their indifference to death. The Corps made various attacks on the German positions a11d supply houses. The most important deeds of the guerrillas was to keep General Patton constantly informed of the exact position of each German column and to protect his flank, thus enabling him to make his speedy drive. Another very important contribution to final victory was the clandestine press. Sickened by the Paris and Vichy newspapers, the underground publications became honest, bold, and strong. They were banners of hope for the conquered people. All of the sixty papers in occupied territory were printed at the risk of death, distributed by stealth, and read under the threat of imprisonment. One clandestine news- paper was printed at night. During the day, the shop printed a German- approved editio11. The first leader in tl1e literature against the oppressor was Andre Simeon, who printed the ' ' Valmy. Through the help of -a distant relative who worked in an office of a building occupied by Germans, Simeon mimeo- graphed his first issue. He eventually added others to his staff of the t'Valmy,' and acquired a printing press which he l1id in a cave. The Valmy had a circulation of 500,000 a week. Considering that each copy was read by twenty persons, the paper did a great deal to stir up tl1e people against the Nazis and to encourage them to look forward to an eventual day of liberation. In spite of the closing of universities, including the University of Sorbonne, the clandestine press printed works of authors and poets in hiding. The Voice of France in chains speaks in Paul E'luard's Armes de la Douleurf' To a desolate country, this literature gave strength and courage to tl1e resistance groups. . The quotation from the New York Times Magazine, to intensify and ren- der more efficient the fight for libera- tion from the enemy and from traitors by immediate action and by preparing a national insurrection, to defend the interests of France and the Empire, and to concentrate forces of resistance with a view to the creation of a Fourth Republic and.. a just societyf' clearly explains why the people began uniting and fusing all active parts of the un- derground into a National Council of Resistance of sixteen members, which 'represented all parts of France tllld was in close contact with Allied Head- quarters. As the underground struggled on- ward, the British began dropping them guns, food, and ammunition. It even- tually became so important as a source of information about German move- ments, that a map of France was kept at Allied Headquarters in London with red dots indicating where patriots were trained, supplied, and ready for the signal of D-Day. Credit must be given to the French people who risked everything to keep their liberty. They fought for four long hard years while being hunted and living without adequate food and shelter. Their valor will always be an inspiration to freedom-loving people. Joan of Arc's answer to one of her judges as to whether or not she hated the enemy is significant of France's unconquerable spirit: I don 't know, she said, but I know they shall be turned out of France except those who shall die there. - HUMOR IN WORLD WAR II By Chester Bowen UMOR is a great thing. W'ar, the most harsh and abominable busi- ness in the world, cannot eradicate it. Although the whole world has been engaged in war, effecting great con- flagrations in some places, unprece- dented sacrifices and grief in others, and the devastation of some of man's greatest achievements, still humor has managed to survive. Perhaps it is not amiss to ask why it has been able to survive amidst all these adverse condi- tions. It may be that people deem it necessary as a means of escape in such tragic times or perhaps it is so much a part of the nature of some people that even the horrors of war are not sufficient to repress it. Although some morose cynics may think it unpatriotic to laugh while such calamity is present in the world, most people feel the same as Bennett Cerf, the nationally known humorist, who says, We will die if We must, sacrifice everything, but surely and nobody will begrudge us a hearty laugh or two in the doingfl And thanks to the fact that most people agree with him, humor has played an important part in raising morale during the war and in that way helping the war eiortg for it is a known psychological fact that people will work more willingly and accomplish more when their morale is high. ll-IIIKIKKKKIRIIISKKKKKKUCEKUIIIII-lil-K Humor has been very much alive, l10t only here, but all over the world during the war. Naturally most of it has arisen out of the situations of war. We find interesting diferences, how- ever, among the various countries as to the types and targets of war humor. For instance, the Americans and the British have the admirable quality of being able to laugh at themselves while the Russians used the enemy as the chief target. The Germans often ridi- culed themselves but most of their self- ridicule was unintentional and the oc- cupied countries, of course, used the Germans as targets for their satire. Americans usually tell jokes satir- izing the home front, conditions in the service, or draft boards and selec- tees. The British do this also but their humor is more polite than ours. A11 example of our humor concern- ing our home front is the following. It satirizes the first-aid courses taken by many people during the early days of the war. At a crowded Broadway first night early in the season, a member of the audience was suddenly overcome by the heat, and fell to the floor of the lobby in a dead faint. 'Step aside, cried a stout lady officiously. I am a first-aid student and I know how to give him artificial respiration. ' ' Her husband blanched with fear and pulled her by the arm. For Heaven 's sakesf' he implored, Hdonit do that to a sick man. C The British have a more courteous way of exhibiting such humor. Here is an example of ho wa Briton satir- ized the rising costs of hotel rooms in America. A young officer of the British Mer- chant Marine had put into port at New York. Members of the British Mer- chant Marine are provided with very little pocket money for shore leave and this oificer was no exception. Never- theless, he decided to put up at a famous Park Avenue hotel. When he registered, he neglected to inquire what the daily room rate would be. On the morning of his departure he was pre- sented with his bill. He gazed at it a moment and then sought the cashier. Am I correct, he asked, 'tin as- suming that suggestions from your pa- trons are welcome? They certainly are, said the cash- ier. Hasn,t everything been going satisfactorily ? I' ' Everything has been fine, agreed the officer, but I have noticed that you have a sign posted in all your rooms which reads, 'Have you left auything?' May I suggest that you alter the phraseology of the signs a bit so that they read, 'Have you any- thing left?' Army cooking has been the butt of many jokes connected with Army life. Ilere is an example of one of these. Outside the mess hall of Fort Devens a private approached an officer and saluted. Looking very disgusted hc said, Lieutenant, I have a complaint to make. Just taste this. He put a spoonful of a certain liquid to the Lieu- tenant 's lips. The Lieutenant tasted the liquid and said, What's the matter with that? I think that is very fine soup. The private replied, Yeah, that's what l told the mess sergeant. He said it was coffee. Selectees and draft boards in the United States have been the subjects of innumerable jokes also. One of the old chestnuts pertaining to these is the one told about the determined selec- tee who approached his draft board officer with the remark, They can't make me fight! To which the draft board officer re- plied, Maybe not, but they can take you where the fighting is and you can use your own judgment. The following one satirizes the ex- aminations, or lack of examinations. which the draft board oficers were giving selectees when men were badly needed. A young man, classified in 1-A, was examined by the local draft board's doctor. Does this mean I'm in the Army? he asked. Me, with my bad eyes? You're in, said the doctor, un- less they flunk you at the Army Medi- cal Office at Governor's Island. How bad must my vision be before they flunk me at Governoris Island? asked the nervous selectee. The way they 're taking 'em now, said the doctor, if you can find Gov- ernor's Island, you're in! British War humor is similar to ours in directing its darts at home front shortages, high prices, and travel con- ditions. However, as was mentioned before, Britons are more polite in lampooning these things than Ameri- cans are. They are also a little more indirect although the satire is still easily apparent. The following is an example of a Briton's treatment of the food shortage. An English officer, home on leave, went to a fashionable West End res- taurant, expecting to sit down to a hearty meal. He gave his order to the waiter as follows: UI should like a porterhouse steak drowned in mush- rooms, with some delicately browned toast and plenty of butter. The waiter retorted, Pardon me, sir, are you trying to order or just reminiscing? ' ' But there was one subject about which the British could joke that Americans, never having experienced bombing, could not. Being bombed is not usually considered conducive to the display of humor but the British, with their indomitable spirit, managed to see the lighter side of the blitz at times. For example, a middle-aged London woman one day early in 1942, during a lull in the Luftwaffeis activi- ties, told Mrs. Vincent Sheean, wife of the famous author: You know, I think a lot of us here really miss the blitz. Those nasty Jerries certainly took our minds off the war. llllllillllllilllllllllllll That again shows the power of humor to persist even in the darkest moments of war. Our other Big Three allies, the Russians. also had a sense of humor left despite the fact that their land was ravaged by the German hordes early in the war. However, living in a dictatorship where jokes on the gov- ernment, home front, etc., are not so popular and because they take them- selves and their experiment in govern- ment very seriously, the Russians did not satirize themselves as much as the British and Americans. Most of their humor was directed against the Ger- mans. One joke that is especially liked in Russia was this o11e which describes the wit of the Russian soldiers in deal- ing with complaining Germans. A Russian soldier was leading a cap- tured German spy to a lonesome place outside of a Russian town for the pur- pose of executing him without head- quarters knowing about it. All in all, the Russian and his prisoner covered ten miles before the former was satis- fied as to the proper place for getting rid of the Nazi. The German was a little puzzled and irritated. He turned around said to his guard, f'l expected to get killed when caught but why do l have to walk ten miles before being shot? The Russian soldier replied slyly, What are you worrying about? l've got to walk back. - And, contrary to general opinion, the Germans also showed an occasional glimmer of humor during the war, al- though in many instances their humor was unintentional. Some of the things they said which seemed humorous to us were really meant to be taken seri- ously. The following. which we might interpret as satire, is an example of such. A wounded Nazi soldier returned to Berlin for treatment. He went to the hospital where he saw two doors. One sign read Officers,,' the other HTroops. He walked through the Troops door and was confronted by two other doors marked Seriously VVounded and Slightly NVounded.,' He walked through the .door marked Slightly Wounded and again discov- ered two doors. This time the signs read. Nazi party membersn and Non-Nazi party members. He en- tered the door marked 'tNon-Nazi party members and found that he was right out in the street again. He reported to his family: T didnit get any treatment for my wounds - but the organization was perfect. Of course, some of the German humor was intentional. The Nazis could see the lighter side of war just as we could but not as often and not with as much breeziness. Many of their intentional jokes revealed the increasingly differ- ent task the Nazis had in trying to hold down the inhabitants of the oc- cupied countries and the often disas- trous consequences for the persons at- tempting to do such. One of these tells of a Gestapo of- ficer who was assigned to the position as protector of a Czechoslovakian city. Not knowing what was in store for him, he felt very thankful for the pro- motion. Thank you, he said, saluting his superior officer smartly. Now what should be my first move? I suggest, replied his superior officer, that you notify your nearest of kin. And speaking of the occupied coun- tries, they were the scenes of innumer- able humorous anecdotes, most of which reflect the bitter sarcasm directed against the Germans by the oppressed people. This humor coming from the occupied nations showed the undaunted spirit of their inhabitants as much as anything could with the possible ex- ception of their retaliating sabotage. The Norwegians, Dutch, and Danes were especially sardonic toward the German overlords. Of course, the Nazis didn 't let these bits of humor directed against them leak out any more than possible, but nevertheless we did hear about them, mostly through neutral correspondents stationed in the occu- pied lands or escaped natives from those nations. One of the stories to come out of Norway tells of an old man who was openly repugnant to the superior Ar- yans. One day he was seen talking to a friend of his by a Gestapo agent. The suspicious agent drew near the old Norwegian to hear what he was talk- ing about. After getting just within hearing range, he heard the old man say to his friend, You may say all you please against Hitler 's soldiers, but personally l'd rather work for ten Ger- mans than one Norwegian. The Gestapo agent was not only astonished but elated. VVith an air of friendship he said to the old man, What is your occupation? I am a grave digger, was the reply. The newspapers of the occupied countries although German-controlled, still managed to print their share of satire. A frequent target of this satire was the propaganda front of Joseph Goebbels. An excerpt from a Danish newspaper concerning this was smug- gled out of Denmark by a Swedish journalist. It concerned the attack of some British bombers on a war plant in the Danish town of Skive. Dr. Goebbels had issued a eommunique saying that no damage was done, except that a cow had been hit. The Skive newspaper dutifully car- ried the eommunique the next day, and then commented simply: The cow burned for four days. The sad part of it was that often- times the ones who had ,the courage to flout the 'tsupermen overlords were afterwards penalized by the Ger- mans. However, the fact that the people of these seized countries persisted in waxing satirical about the Germans is exempliiication enough of the inability lllllllllllll of war hardships to destroy the ele- ment of humor. No conditions were as bad as those in the occupied coun- tries and the fact that humor survived even under them shows its influence. And although each country had its own conception of war humor, never- theless the humor in all of them had one common result -- it heightened morale. Probably the best reason for this is that it makes people feel hap- pier and better all around to get away from the gloomy side of war and to try to find, if possible, a lighter side. Therefore, in reviewing the contri- butions of various morale-building in- fluences during the war, let us save at least one small place for humor. To quote Bennett Cerf again, There can't be too many parades, and bands, and rousing marching songs like 'Over There' - and yes, good belly laughs - to make the load a little lighter as we face the tasks at hand. Class Day Parts CLASS HISTORY By Bette Burns AVING spent four fully delightful years in high school, we are about to leave its stately halls tahemlj alld go forth to brave the storms of the cold, cold world. No more shall we be helped by guiding teachers and protecting Papas and Mamas. The fu- ture is ours to build. But now for the past. In our freshman year we were forced to submit to the usual hazings involv- ing lipstick-covered faces and forced impersonations of Hi Diddle Dumpling, my son John, One shoe oif, one shoe on. Being inexperienced we used the wrong stairways, got into the wrong rooms, and stood in tl1e halls during Cafeteria Period, cringing from the glances We got occasionally from seniors. 'Parliamentary Law, something quite new to us, confronted us at our first class meeting. NVe weren't slow about getting started, however, and during our second meeting we elected the fol- lowing officers: Chet Bowen, president, Dave Johnson, vice president, Barbara Bolles, secretary, and Walter Pojasek, tI'CHSll1'61'. In our first year, an elaborate sys- tem of signals developed as a means of communication between pupils. During English class Barbie's hands became very proficient in sending mes- sages which, no doubt, had something to do with Donny Cruikshank, who was then her one and only - and a senior to boot. Another freshman girl who had a senior boyfriend was Doris Mehaiey, who blushed furiously one day when by coincidence Miss Whitney happened to ask the girls in her domestic science class if anyone used Barley After a full year in high school we became very superior sophomores. Our sophomore oHicers were Chet Bowen, president, Eva Morin, vice president, Barbara Bolles, secretary, and Walter Pojasek, treasurer. This year we bc- gan really to know our classmates and to like them. After a year of gym classes under Miss Houston 's guidance, the girls de- veloped simultaneously muscle and poise, especially the latter, so we be- lieved. Although there was much ado about being forced to take gym, we were glad, for it opened many new fields to us. There was not only bas- ketball, but also tennis, softball, and field hockey. As to classes, we finally learned how to get Mrs. Lord off the track in Latin by edging in the traditional subject of birds. Even at this early date Edna and Dave formed the twosome which was to net them, this year, the title of Class Lovers. As early as this, too, we lost Joslin and Mozdicz to the Navy. Quite the sophisticated people, we entered the junior class with high hopes and plans. Our officers for the year were Dick Herrick, president, Eva Morin, vice president, Barbie Bolles, secretary, and Walter Pojasek, treasurer. Our Junior Prom was probably the best prom that any school has ever seen. The only objection that could be raised was that the juniors left dur- ing intermission and the party ended too soon. Under Miss Blodgett's efficient guid- ance we managed to get our class rings ordered. We did not receive them, however, until after our senior year had begun. Many of us took United States His- tory as juniors, which proved to be provocative of many amusing and edu- cational political discussions in which Dave Johnson was not only seen, but also heard. We were also introduced to the mys- teries of science in chemistry this year and managed to get through without asphyxiating too many pupils, although we came close when we made hydrogen sulphide. Marching into senior seats at Last Chapel, the seniors themselves, of course, occupying the'stage, was just the climax to a perfect year Cas per- fect years gol. When fall came, we were actually seniors, full of self-confidence as we marched into the auditorium while Mr. Tozer's march was music to our ears. Our class officers were Chet Bowen, president, Bernice Fyrberg, vice presi- dent, Barbie Bolles, secretary, and Walter Pojasek, treasurer. At the be- ginning of this year we lost Dick Her- rick to another school. Later on we lost Arthur Ross and Walter Pojasek to Northeastern University. Those who left us to heed the call to arms were Dick Cronin, Francis Le Blanc, Rich- ard Harris, Jiggsy Wile, and Ted Fyr- berg. To help replace some of the losses, however, we welcomed Connie Kelly from Seattle, Washington, to our class. Our annual barn dance was very successful, and many new romances budded right there. The atmosphere was provided by a mere suggestion of hay, however. Only another shortage- intentional or otherwise. Early i11 the year also, Brownie be- gan clowning. His threatened Hlacera- tions and l1is parody on the clothing drive slogan. What can you spare that they can tear? are just a few samples of the humor with which he lightened the weight of our class work. The Student Council, after a year's planning, became active this year and presented an assembly play called A Shop Girl's Honor in which Nelson earned his title as Class Actor when he thrilled and chilled us as the villain. The Student Council, among its other activities, sponsored a dance to earn money to pay for sweaters for the bas- ketball team, arranged an assembly in 35 which a student of Jose Iturbi played the piano for us, and gave a combina- tio11 Saint Patrick's Day and Barn Dance. Our Senior Day, held before Christ- mas vacation, was something difficult to explain, for never before had we felt quite so close to each other. Ted Fyrberg came back from the Navy to spend that day with us, and we all had a delightful time opening joke presents and singing Christmas carols. NVhen class meeting was held to de- cide about caps and gowns a heated discussion followed. Geanakos was for them wholeheartedly, but Etta was opposed to them. When these two get together - or apart I should say - it 's no longer a discussion, it 's a down- right fight. Need I tell you who won? That about brings us up to the pres- ent and so with regret we say Good- bye to old Ipswich High. Class Prophecy Time : 1955 Place: Cruikshank Airlines between Ipswich and Rowley, Massachusetts.

Gifts T 0 The Girls By George Bouzianis When confronted with the problem Of deciding on gifts for girls, I confess at Hrst I was puzzled And my brain was moving in whirls. Not knowing them very well And being, as you all know, quite shy, I couldn't think of appropriate gifts, It was far from as easy as pie. However, one night in an armchair, I pondered t1'emendously hard, Determined to do my task well, And give each girl due regard. After long hours of study I finally completed my task: A jingle and giftifor each girl - VVhat more could anyone ask? So now the preliminaries over, I'll proceed to distribute my waresg Some, you girls may not like, But some may be answers to prayers. Since Georgia loves the Army And her love for a soldier is true, To her I give this toy soldier To console her in moods so blue.

Etta goes big for a drummer Our advice - to get in her best licks And accompany her music lover With the aid of these little drumsticks. And now that my job is completed And the gifts are all supplied, Hip! Hip! to the girls of forty-five, I hope they're satisfied. --.... Gifts To The Boys By Doris Mehaifey One rainy day not long ago, I sat on my window seat And gazed at the thunderclouds o'er head, And the splash of rain on the street. And I started thinking as I sat there, Just what and where I could b'1y Appropriate gifts for my classmates, That with the best would vie. The rai11 drowned all inspirations, No gifts seemed to suit, But the storm that day Washed up on the beach, Agoodly supply of loot. These paper dolls for Bedrosian, Are just the 'right cue To help pep up his morale, And keep him from feeling blue. A package of gum for Bouzie, To keep his jaws in trim. How the Wastebasket in 204 Is going to be lonesome for him! To be a successful journalist, Is Chet BoWen's main desire, I hope this pad and pencil Will a forceful style inspire. Norman Brown is our class clown, He's given us laughs galore, If he will wear this little suit, He'll give us many more. Armour Chapman attracts attention With blushes from the hair roots, Powder may help to tone them down We definitely hope it suits. This exclusive car for Conley, Will suit him to a T , For he'l1 not have to borrow His father's anymore, you see. When you get that certain urge, Billy, To fly high up in the blue, Take a spin in this little plane, And make your dreams come true. It is rumored that Angelo Takes delight in amusing folks, To increase his store of humor, I present this book of jokes. When you run out of excuses to work ccH0tty,yv And you 're in desperate need of more It will help to keep the alibis on file When in your father's store. To Horsey, our class musician, A baton for his thriving band, So he may direct in style When playing on the stand. 1 In Rowley, quite recently I've seen a lot of Jewett, Just what can be the attraction? This doll may lead you to it. Johnson and Pappas, a blond and bru- nette, Tied for our boy beauty, To give them each a make-up kit Will be more fun than duty. Mighty Al who thought caps and gowns Were something of a racket, Will perhaps feel more at home, Wearing this dinner jacket. Charlie Lampropoulos is a pleasant boy, But as quiet as can beg A If he'll blow upon this whistle, We'll hear as well as seeq For Leonce Marchand, this pillow, ' Just in case he takes some spills, While showing off his talent I At skiing down steep hills. Sherlock Nelson, our future chemist, Is good at solving crimes, i Perhaps this magnifying glass Will be of use sometimes. l've hunted around for a bow tie, That in color could compete With the flashy tones of Walter's, But in despair I admit defeat. llllll-Rl! Rossy, on this little horse You may gallop along the way, If you 're not sure how to manage him, Connie will show you some day. For the boys who serve us well today In the air, on land, and sea, These albums will bring thoughts of home Wherever they may be. That's all boys: if you like your gifts today, The credit goes not to me, but to that storm in May. i Class Will By Bernice Fyrberg E it remembered that we, the grad- uating class of 1945 of Ipswich High School in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncer- tainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby re- voking all wills and testaments by us at anytime heretofore made.

Georgia. a small vivacious person, is an important member of our famous female trio, namely, Georgia, Etta, and Eva. Georgia has done more than her share toward helping the war effort, Selling stamps in school and working at Sylvania after school have been a part of her daily schedule. Needless to say, we greatly admire her for her patriotic efforts. A, A. 1, Girls' Choir 2, 3, 4, Stamp Sales 4, Cub Typist 4. NORMA ARSENAULT I thank what-ever gods there be For my unconquerable soul. Norma's constant chatter-chatter is as in- dispensable as she herself is. Her High school education will help prepare her to be a secretary, and we'1'e sure that if the prospective employer is doubtful of hiring her, she will manage to talk him into it. In her last year Norma added greatly to the attraction of the Strand Theatre, where she was an usherette. A.

Alex is the tall, dark, and bashful type - and you can place a few other adjectives beside his name too, adjectives such as intelligent, pessimistic, and sports-loving, He gained our laughter with his neck contortions as he walked across the front of the room, he gained our respect with his one-hundreds in mathematics exams, he gained our pity with his pessimistic outlook, and he gained our admiration with his football and basketball feats.

BARBARA BOLLES She has a world of ready wealth, Our minds and hearts to bless Barbie is every boy's girl and every girl's friend. Her smile is something extra special. Her friendly manner and sincere interest in all humanity earned her the well-deserved title of most popular girl. Barb has been very active in school, buzzing around here and there on this or that committee, and doing a man-sized job in getting things done. When we were asked to choose the D. A, R.

Little Beaver, as he is so affectionately addressed by his classmates, is unquestionably our class humorologist. His witty and timely bits of humor gave most of us a chuckle at all times. In the gym, he was known as the clown of the gymnasium be- cause he made the underclassmen laugh during calisthenics. As well as being a whiz on the dance lioor, George was also a rabid sports enthusiast, being manager in football, baseball, and basketball. Ahl Sowititah--Sowititay! A.

He divides his time between the Cub, the team seorekeeping, reporting, and his latest effort at playwriting. In spite of infinite difficulties, he has amazed everyone of us by being on the Honor Roll every quarter for four long years in addition to keeping up on his extra-curricular activties. A.

NORMAN BROWN Quips and cranks and wanton wiles, Nods and becks and wreathed smiles. 'tBrownie, or Repper, was voted our Class Clown and well he deserved the title. Many a time did he make us laugh with his witticisms, puns, and absurdities, and even occasional sarcasm. His fre- quently irrelevant use of big words was also a good mirth-provoker. And to add variety, he was also a capable basketball player, a good exponent on girls, and a potential master of physics. A. A. lg Class Clown, Basketball 3, 4, Football fAssistant Managerj 4. BETTY BURNS These delights if thou canst give, Mirth, with th-ee I mean to live. Buns may be our class baby, but that doesn't mean she isn't capable. Betty is respected and admired by all her classmates. Much of her spare time has been spent with Debbi-e. This year, a mischievous personality and an intelligent mind were revealed to us by Betty's presence in many a group- singing, laughing, or discussing the latest news. A.

A1'mour was voted our Class Blusher, but don't think by that he was girl-shy. Oh, no! Trying to find a steady girl was always one of his chief con- cerns. However, in class he was rather silent-so silent that we had to look around to be sure he was there. He was one of the many victory-shifters at Sylvania for two years. A. A. lg Class Blusher. ELLA COLLINS Her hair that lay along her back Was yellow like ripe corn. Ella is one of the few quiet members of our class. When she does speak, her voice is sweet and subdued. At our Junior Prom she showed up with a Merchant Mariner which led us to suspect romance. While in Hixrh school she formed what looks like a permanent friendship with Doris. Ella was a 'great success with her stamp selling. A. A. 13 Stamp Sales 45 Cub Typist 4. WILLIAM CONLEY A happy little child am I. Billy, the musical genius of our class, has a great future before him. Pounding the bass drum in the band, playing the violin in the orchestra, toying with children's gadgets, working in a drug store, and delivering telegrams--these are his many pleasant pastimes. He is most often se-en wearing fiashy jackets adorned with innumerable medals and pins. Although a bit garrulous at times. Billy is still re- garded as a fine sociable fellow. A.

When we started our High school career in 1940, we thought that Evelyn for Cookie as she was affectionately nicknamedb would be our class man- hater. However, much to our surprise, we found that her life contained Hbeaucoup d'amour. Cookie docsn't talk very much and maintains a perpetual friendly disposition, two characteristics which may account for her popularity. She had her homework done every day, too.

Happy-go-lucky Cronin left us last summer for the Navy and his jovial disposition was certainly missed. The ducks on the marsh, howev-er, didn't mind his going in the least. Dick used to engage in duck-hunting quite frequently and more than once preferred it to school. He and Fyrberg and Harris became fast friends as a result of their mutual love for the sport. He and Eva also became fast friends, but no tfor the same reason, of course. When he returned from Sampson to visit the trigonometry class, he uttered his famous remark, It's Navy life or life at Sampson! A. A. 1, Football 1, 2. WILLIAM CRUIKSHANK My future lies high in the sky. is a person who deserves great credit for the way in which he threw off his sickness and returned to his many friends here at school, after missing nearly a half-year's work, His always cheerful smile and genial disposition have made Bill and his jokes a welcome tonic to his class- mates.

Joining us in our freshman year, Deb has mad-e many friends along the way. Her activities can be summed up as follows: going to the latest movie, skillfully drawing many of her famous sketches and pictures, and hoping for a reconciliation with an estranged friend.

THEODORE FYRBERG And he has busy been To track the buck in thicket green. Teddy left for the Navy a few days before Harris and just missed the hunting season, much to his sorrow. We always thought him to a girl- avoider until he gave us the shock of our lives by appearing in the Strand with Doris one night during the junior year. He came back to visit us on Senior Day, much to our enjoyment-and Doris's. A. A. 1. ANGELO GEANAKAKIS Come, let us go, while we arc in our prime, And take the harmless folly of the time! Angel is quite an unpredictable character. In school he was usually rather quiet although oc- casionally he did become a little garrulous. However, when he attended a party, particularly one held by the French club. he was usually the life of the party. His flashy ensembles were the envy of all the boys and rarely matched. During his school cxreer, he formed a constant friendship with Charlie. A. A. 1: French Club IV. GEORGE GEANAKOS Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe. Hotty has several outstanding characteristics, but his boisterous voice and uncontrolled laughter are by far his most noteworthy. Whether it be a formal class debate or a lecture, his voice can always be heard uttering disapp1'oval. With his massive 2.18-pound frame, he captained and led the football team to glory. On the basketball court, Hotty's shrieking voice often frightened opposing players end sometimes even stopped them from scoring. Directing athletics, his prize ambition, will certainly give him an opportunity to teach others the essence of good sportsmanship. A.

Richie left us at the beginning of the school year to join the Navy. He was more fortunate than Ted, however, since he got in a few days of hunting before he left. His old jaloppy was the subject of much ridicule, but Rich's jovial personality always shook it off. He had much potential athletic ability but for some unknown reason, modesty perhaps, he didn't want to release it. A. A. 1. BYARD HORSMAN And the night shall be filled with music. Horsy was one of our few remaining victory shift boys still holding on at Sylvania. At school he soon revealed his remarkable musical talents by organizing a jazz band of his own, Ironic as it may seem, he was accused of the annual senior English crime. He has been popular with many girls but he prefers to play hard to get instead of reciprocating their admiration. A.

Sports Review THLETICS during the fall of 1941 started many of our classmates on the way to an athletic goal. Messrs. Burke and Conary, our patie11t coaches, taught us the fundamentals in football, basketball, and baseball. The second year, 1942, brought basketball and baseball up to a high standard but at the end of the year we lost both of our coaches. In 1943 Coach Heiden took over the coaching reins but unfortu- nately, he got. here too late to start football. However, we did have a successful basketball season. Our class representatives in basketball were Nor- 111811 Brown, Dave Johnson, George Geanakas, Tony Machaj, James Wile, and Alex Bedrosian. After the hoop season we lost one of the best athletes we've had, Tony Machaj, but our loss was the Navy 's gain. In our last and glorious year football started up again under the leadership of a new mentor, Coach Federico, with the capable George Geanakas as captain. The members of the 1944 football team were as follows: Nick Pappas, RE, George Geanakas, RT, James Wile, RG, Alex Bedrosian, C, Paul Pappas, LG: Charles Dort, LT, Rich- ard Dorr, LE, Robert Burke, FB, Melvin BOXVEII, LHB, Dave Johnson, RHBQ Bill Alexopoulos, QB.

Social Review PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB HIS year, under the able manage- ment of Mr. Blake, a Photography Club was successfully started. On Jan- uary 31, 1945, it held an animal print contest. The pictures were judged by the club members. Wiiiiiers of the contest were Her- man Nelson, who received the first prize ribbon for his picture of a pet skunk. Carol Parsons received the second ribbon for her picture of her dog Chin which Won many Oh's and 0h's from those present. Helen Smolenski received the third prize for a picture of her dog Rex , Other pictures of dogs, horses, a calf, and a cat were entered in the contest. NVe sincerely hope the Photography Club continues to function as we en- joyed its activities so much this year. The Student Council FTER a number of years, the Stu- dent Council has been revived at Ipswich High. As is the purpose of all student councils, it is to benefit the school and the students therein. One of their many aims was to pre- sent more entertainments to the stu- dent body. The Entertainment Com- mittee did a more tha11 worthy job fulfilling the objective when they pre- sented an old-fashioned melodrama en- titled Hcr Fatal Beauty or A Shop-Girl's Honor on February 11. With Miss Blodgett as director the cast rehearsed every possible after- noon. Robert Bolles was the stage manager. Millie Blossom the beautiful heroine, was played by Connie Kelly. The hero, Noble Humdinger, a figure of a man Such as all girls long for, was played by Richard Iiow. The villain, Courtney Kenilworth, was convincingly played by Herman Nelson. Noble's mother, Mrs. Humdinger, was played by Betty Burns. Chet Bowen gave a wonderful portrayal of the manager of the Hum- dinger store Mr. Redfern.
