Graduation! To us, the graduates of 1949, those are words of relief. We rejoice that we have finally attained our goal - gradua- tion, the end of four tedious years of book learning, of essay writing, of long source papers due on speci- fic dates, of math assignments, of afternoon slips, and of the general problems of school life. Our teachers have given us tasks to perform which we have in the majority of cases, we hope, car- ried through to completion. They have spent years teaching us to analyze subject matter, to formu- late opinions, and to adopt good work habits. In our class-room discussions we have learned to de- bate without argument, to make co- operative decisions without vacil- lation, to understand social ills without making unfair discrimina- tions. In fact, they have done their utmost to train us to become fair- minded citizens to fight for a prin- ciple , to bette r mankind. They, like the potter with his clay, have molded us with patience and understanding, constantly turning and shaping the clay into a useful object. But now with diplomas in hand, we realize that high school has been merely a preparation, a training ground. We shall discover that ed- ucation never ceases. Our future beckons; the great adventure calls. We have acquired only the founda- tion of living. The future will de- termine the structure. May it be a strong one. iii THE FACULTY Front row, left to right: Miss Brown, Mr. Chadbourne, Mr. Orcutt, Mr. Whipple, Mr. Riley, Mr. Tozer, Miss Whitney.

We shall try to bring out not only the superiority of the democratic form of govern- ment over other forms, but that as an ideal it is still not completely realized. Originating in certain Grecian states where the method resembled our town meetings rather than our modern representative government and where the right to vote was limited to specific classes, the democratic ideal has persisted de- spite repression and scorn and has shone most brightly when other forms of rule have become intol- erable. For one hundred and sixty years, the United States has main- tained a democracy which, despite its faults, still upholds its ideal of equality. In observing an unbiased, factual history of the United States as a democratic nation, and com- paring it with the history in almost all other countries during the same period, one must realize that dem- ocracy has given the American people exceptional growth, stability, and peace. First of ail a democracy works on the basis that freedom is the foundation for all society, and in order to live successfully, citizens must have certain inalienable rights. Perhaps our civil rights will have more meaning if we think of them as privileges that would be denied us by a totalitarian state. In such a government force and coercion are employed and the people are taught above all else obedience and submission to the state; a democracy, on the other hand, cherishes its traditional liberties --freedom of speech and of the press, of religion without fear of government intervention, thefreedomtoform ideas indepen- dently, and above all the right to criticize. V 7 e may speak freely of the policies of our government and the way it is run even in wartime, provided, of course, our words can not be used as we?oons by an enemy . Speaking of traditional free- doms, an interesting situation came up recently when communists in New York and other American cities held their traditional May Day parades bearing signs urging revolution and strikes. Walter 1 Winchell made a comment on this which all citizens would do well to ponder. He simply said: What do they think gives them the right to parade? In a democracy the people, possessing control of all that be- longs to the state, have a direct voice in laws made. Ours is a government by the consent of the governed, limited only by the fact that laws enforced must accord with the wishes of the majority which, though not always sound, over a period of time are corrected and work out to the advantage of the people. In a democratic nation such as ours, more social, economic, and political freedoms are enjoyed than under any other type of govern- ment. A democracy must begin in education-development for adult responsibilities in a democratic state, for in order to succeed, a democracy must be made up of mature persons whose judgments are sound. What an advantage the Ameri- can student has over students in totalitarian states! In those na- tions students are taught what to think rather than how to think. Schools are militarized. The pur- pose of our schools is to educate the youth for participation in a democratic society; therefore students are allowed and taught to form ideas independently and, as Tennyson put it, “ To follow knowledge like a sinking star Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.” Here we realize that a democracy has the advantage over other governments where education is limited to that knowledge only which will benefit the State. An American may choose his own work. He may go into any field of his liking. He may join any political party and no other organ- izations are forbidden to him, and finally his religious faith, the re- sult of his ability to form ideas independently, is of his own choos- ing. A democracy stops just short of socialism by its extensive social security system, but at the same time allowing heavy competition in business, creates a higher standard of living, keeps currency in cir- culation, and makes our employ - ment record the best in the world. Furthermore our political privileges number far more. Minorities, for example, not only have voice but also definite in- fluence. Even our two major par- ties have liberties not exercised abroad- -among them extensive ad- vertising and large expenditures. However, under other governments strict censorship on party move- ments is employed. The youth, therefore, whose job it is to keep democracy rolling can ' t help but realize that democracy offers society the best standard of living; stability, security, the freedom to make a profit, and above all, the freedom from fear of the govern- ment ' s interfering in a citizen ' s personal affairs . The United States comprises only three million square miles of the world; but 2 those are the freest three million square miles in the world. We have only to look at our most recent comers to understand the full implication of the word “free- dom.” D.P.’s especially realize the great freedom enjoyed by us. They in particular appreciate liv- ing in a country where so much liberty exists --liberty to move about as one pleases without being watched or hounded for identifica- tion. They realize having lived and suffered under such tyrannical governments as fascism and com- munism. Using these enlightened people as an example, I close with very true, inspiring line said by a great defender of democracy. “Those who have lived in a country where liberty is crushed will find America a new hope of freedom.” THE DUTIES AND RESPONSI- BILITIES OF CITIZENS IN A DEMOCRACY Patricia Tyler Inasmuch as there are many advantages in a democracy, there are also many duties and respon- sibilities that citizens must ob- serve. The word “democracy” means “rule of the people”. In a democracy that has been estab- lished for as long a time as ours, people are inclined to be indif- ferent about their government and leave its administration to a few politicians. Most people fail to realize that it is only their active participation which keeps a dem- ocracy alive. The duties and re- sponsibilities of a democratic people fall into three main cate- gories: educational, civic, and social. I believe the primary respon- sibility of an American is to be in- telligent. Only in the knowledge and complete understanding of the facts can one hope to be a credit to one’s country. By the facts, I mean not only knowing the structure of our own government, but also the background of past democracies. A democratic form of government was not unknown before the Ameri- can experiment but had been used by bo th the Greeks and Romans. They failed. Only by understanding what constituted their success and failures, can we understand, ap- preciate, and strengthen, our own democracy. Through education in our schools we can develop this unde rstanding. An educated person is more mature -minded, level- headed, and should have developed the strength of character neces- sary to choose competent leaders in his local, state, and national elections. The educational oppor- tunities for all students, however, are still very limited. In spite of the fact that America has one of the highest standards of education in the world, there are still many rural sections of the country where, if there are schools, they have very deficient teaching facilities. It is our duty to equalize educational op- portunities, and thus make it pos- sible for every person to realize his greatest potentialities. Only 3 by being educated ourselves, therefore, and by seeing to it that education is provided for all ac- cording to their abilities are we fulfilling one of our most serious responsibilities. Secondly, it is only through the active participation in civic mat- ters that the voices of sincere, in- telligent people can be heard. How many people are too lazy or in- different to go to the polls and to town meetings, or to listen to and to study major political issues? How many of these same people are the first to complain when an incompetent person is put into of- fice? There is a great need today for public-spirited citizens who are willing to participate in civic affairs. Many people refuse to sign petitions against undemoc ratic principles or run for public office because they haven’t time, or would rather let the other person do it, Politics need not be in the cor- rupt state in which it is in many places today. A career in politics is a challenge to any sincere and honest person. It is only by the in- difference of these capable people that politics is corrupt. One should not be afraid to voice one’s own opinion because one fears the loss of a friend or the loss of business. An unspoken opinion has just as much effect as no opinion at all. Democracy must be practiced not only in Washington, the State House, and at town meetings, but also in our relations with our neighbors and friends. Democratic living should be just as personal as one’s own religion. The North is greatly shocked at the segrega- tion of Negroes in the South. But how many Northerners shun cer- tain public places “over populated” by Jews. How many restricted signs are ignored by the “demo- cratic” American citizens. It is the personal duty of every American to be intolerant of discrimination in his own small social groups. One should establish a democratic rule of life and stick to it. Carry no prejudices or instruct younger people in prejudices. Children aren’t born with prejudices. Par- ents teach them. Young people should be taught to judge a person on the basis of character, not on the basis of religion or color. In this way there would be no name calling, class distinctions would disappear, and America would be truly the Melting Pot of the world. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR DEMOCRACY Charles Mourikas It is true that democracy is the ideal form of government and it is also true that we Americans are privileged to live in a country with this form of government; never- theless, there is still room for im- provement in our democracy. Fur- thermore, the threats bf commun- ism andfascism in the world today propose a challenge to all Ameri- cans to strengthen our democracy and thus show its superiority over 4 all totalitarian forms of govern- ment. Patty mentioned that one of the duties of the American citizen was to exercise his right to vote, and indeed this would be the first and most effective step in strength- ening our democracy. However, he has been neglecting this duty as proved by the fact that from 30 to 50 per cent of the eligible voters do not vote. This neglect is very serious, for by exercising this right American citizens would abolish many undemocratic practices going on in this country. What undemo- cratic practices? Racial and re- ligious discrimination and cor- ruption in government these certainly are not representative of democracy; yet in the eyes of our enemies these are what our dem- ocracy stands for and they are partly right. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Inde- pendence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal ” The fathers of our country and the drafters of our Constitution realized that no two persons are identical --phys- ically, mentally or any other way; that no two people are equal in the sense of being the same. Nor did they say that they are. But they did say that because you are a human being, you have an equal right with any other to live, to be educated, to develop, to be respected and loved if you earn respect and love. However, the shameful con- ditions that exist among our min- ority groups are well-known. The Negroes, the Jews, the Mexicans, and the Indians among other min- ority groups are certainly not given equal opportunities. In pol- itics, in business, and even in our schools and colleges this system of segregation ar exclusion is practiced. There are many jobs that are not open to Negroes or Jews, and in colleges there are many fraternities and sororities that refuse admission to students because of their race, color, or religion. The President’s Civil Rights program is a step in the right direction if it is passed in Congress, but laws alone will not correct these conditions. It is up to the American people themselves to practice democracy in every- day life. Corruption in government is another disgraceful condition that exists in our country. Political bosses, machine politics, the spoils system- -such practices as these definitely hinder the progress of democracy. Moreover, it is such practices that pave the way for communism and fascism and they should be stopp ed now. What chance does democracy have when c rooked politicians get through with it? What some of our politicians fail to realize is that when they are elected to public office their job is to serve the people and not them- selves or their party. There is no room in our democracy for political bosses or machine politics or the spoils system. We have a govern- ment of the people, by the people, for the people.” Our public ser- vants should bear this in mind and should make it their ultimate goal 5 to serve the people to the best of their ability. These improvements that I have mentioned depend almost en- tirely upon the American people. Our law makers can enact laws to correct the conditions in our min- ority groups, but they are useless without the support of the people. Furthermore, it is up to the Ameri- can people to take the initiative and see to it that their representatives in government pass legislation that will abolish all such undemocratic practices. The preservation of our democracy depends not upon our military power, not upon our rep- resentatives in government, but upon the individual American citi- zen. Will he accept and meet this challenge? The fate of our country and perhaps of the world rests in his decision. CLASS HISTORY By Victoria Sikora In September, 1944, when we ar- rived at the Manning School to begin our eighth year, we had a surprise waitingforus, It was announced that the eighth grade would henceforth be a part of the high school. Thus we set off a year earlier than pre- vious classes, making us the first class to be in this building five years. Full of excitemen t we ap- proached, perhaps a bit timidly, this great building with its long cor- ridors and seemingly countless rooms. We changed our names (unofficially, of course) from that of eighth graders to sub -freshmen - it sounded better and boosted our ego. We found the approach to the Study Hall seats from the proper angle something which could be learned only at the expense of much amusement on the part of veteran high schoolers. The large and con- fusing cafeteria was another prob- lem. But in time we were slowly but surely familiarized with the complicated ways of high school life. At our second class meeting we chose Charles Mourikas as presi- dent; Donald Leet, vice-president; Jeanne Ames, secretary; and Polly Perley, treasurer. Even though we may have been smallest in stature, we possessed the greatest amount of patriotism. Our purchase of war bonds and stamps surpassed that of the other classes nearly every week; and when Mary Bouziaanis bought a $1,000 war bond, we were on top permanently. When June came we were al- lowed a small graduation with dip- lomas. Since then, however, the practice has descended to the seventh grade. When September rolled around again, we returned as full -pledged freshmen to the now much less 6 CLASS OFFICERS Front row, left to right: Seniors George Vlah ' os, Mary Perley, Victoria Sickora, Charles Mourikas.

In me familiar corridors acquaintances were renewed, and many new ones were made from Rowley, But we missed one classmate, June Hall, who had moved to Maine . Howe ve r , Patty Tyler joined us that year and helped to fill the gap for the class and especially for Jeanne Ames, June’s pal. On the fourth day of school Sally Harvey broke our perfectly clean record of tray -dropping and was seen picking up shattered dishes and green string beans. At our second class meeting we again elected Charles Mourikas to lead us as president and John Her- rick as vice-president. Jeanne Ames and Polly Perley continued their duties as secretary and treasurer, respectively. Signs oi blossoming maturity were evincedin several directions: John Herrick, an ardent, amateur sportsman, killed a deer; and in the 7 spring, the three -year romance of Connie Somers and Donnie Bowen began. On March 15 we held our first school social, a St. Patricks dance. Even though the majority of the freshmen boys lined up along one side of the auditorium and the fresh- men girls along the other, we con- sidered the affair a success, the profits coming to the grand total - of $13.25. Upon becoming sophomores we moved to the second floor and felt we were upperclassmen even though we should have to wait another year for the official title. Missing in our ranks now were Jeanne Ames and John Herrick who had left to attend private schools. Quickly settling down to business, we chose David Purdy as our president, re- placing Charlie, who now held the office of vice-president. Vicky Sikora began her duties as secre- tary, and Polly Perley remained our treasurer. Soon after, Betty Bedrosian left us to honor Haverhill High with her presence. Betty’s absence was es- pecially felt in Latin II where her translations of Caesar’s campaigns often saved the day for us. Speak- ing of Latin class, some of the brighter days were spent listening to Mrs. Lord’s exciting adventures of her camping days in her beloved mountains of New Hampshire. We had an aspiring playwright in our midst, --Jens Nordquist, who attempted to revise “Cupid and Psyche” into a modern play. How- ever, much to the disappointment of the Latin Club, which was to pre- sent it at an assembly, the produc- tion never materialized. The inseparable team of Mar- lene Super and Potula Vasilopoulos never let a dull moment pass. We were not surprised one day when Marlene circulated a petition in class to move Jens further away from her. He disturbed her study - ing--or so she claimed. It was also this year that we began listening daily to records in French class beginning with the ever familiar question, “Que voulez-vous faire ce matin” and always ending with the words, “Once more“. Before the year ended we launched three activities: a class social, an excursion to Sandy Point, and a spring dance, all successful affairs. We finally reached the elevated status of upper -classmen. Charles Mourikas was again elected presi- dent after a year’s lapse and Jens Nordquist, vice-president. The other officers remained the same. Under the capable management of Lucile Robinson our class rings arrived only a few weeks after school opened. It was several days after that before we could refrain from displaying our hands before the envious eyes of the lower-class - men. Our social this year was a suc- cessful Christmas dance. Dressed as Santa Claus, Jens Nordquist scared many twosomes on the dance floor, dangling mistletoe over their heads. In January we lost Mathilda Hills to the class of 1948 and with 8 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Mary Perley, Treasurer; George Vlahos, Vice President; Victoria Sikora, ' Secretary; Charles Mourikas, President. no little envy watched her march into chapel with the seniors. That year many of us were in- troduced to the mysteries of chem- istry. Our lal periods, when we experimented with elements and compounds, came too seldom as far as we aspiring chemists were concerned. Although, our experi- ments often brought disastrous re- sults, we always looked forward to them. Our attempt to present a play turned out to be a successful ven- ture. A hilarious one -act comedy entitled, “The Pampered Darling”, brought to light the hidden talents of several classmates including Barbara MacKay, Jens Nordquist, and Freddy Wilson. After weeks of preparation our long anticipated prom came. The girls, looking their prettiest in evening gowns, and the boys, dressed handsomely in dinner jackets, danced to the divine music of Billy Stone and his orchestra, making the evening a long remem- bered gala affair. One bright spring morning when young men’s fancies turn to mis- chief as well as love, it seems, Marjorie Smith plunged her hand into her pocketbook with the inten- 9 tion of getting a pencil. A loud scream followed, for enclosed in her hand was a large turtle, alive but harmless. This, we later dis- covered, was one of the many pranks of Casmir Saroka and Eddie Sem- acko destined to bring them the title of class clowns. In June Barbara MacKay was selected to represent Ipswich High at Girls’ State and Charles Mouiikas and Jens Nordqiiist were our can- didates for Boys’ State, all well deserved honors. At last we reached the proud status of seniors with Study Hall as our homeroom. I must say that we all felt slightly inflated when we marched into chapel for the first time, conscious of the envious gaze of the lower-classmen. Janet Lippolt did not return this year but was instead charming the boys of Newburyport High. Pat Boudreau and her friendly smile were also missing when she left to spend the following months in the Essex sanatorium. She has con- tinued her studies, however, and will graduate with us. We all wish her a speedy recovery. We wel- comed back in March June Hall, whose family has again made its residence in Ipswich. „ Our officers remained the same for our senior year except that George Vlahos became our vice- president. Our first social was the tra- ditional barn dance, which was the biggest social success of our high school career. The Virginia Reel was one of the most enjoyable high- lights of the evening although thoroughly exhausting to its par- ticipants. Soon after the spirit of Christ- mas took possession of us all. On Senior Day we became children again, dressed in the season’s colors , pinned large red bows in our hair, and strolled through the cor- ridors sucking lolly pops and sing- ing carols. The joke presents ex- changed will long be remembered, especially “Pinky’s”. Upon re- ceiving some talcum powder to con- ceal his blushes, he reddened all the more. After the Christmas vacation we decided, after little debate, in favor of caps and gowns for gradu- ation and Loring Studios for our class pictures. We elected Polly Perley as our D.A.R. good citizenship girt, an honor well deserved. Our choice was based on her scholastic stand- ing and leadership in social and athletic activities. One wintry morning we learned, much to our dismay, of a culprit lurking in our midst. It seems that the large picture in Room 204 was snatched from the wall and mys- teriously placed on Miss Allen’s chair in Study Hall. In spite of sev- eral clues discovered and intrusted to Sheriff Frank Edmondson and the distinct chalked footprints found •nearby, the mystery remained a perfect crime. The senior play will perhaps be one of our pleasantest memories. A comedy in three acts entitled “The Youngest”, the play starred Charlie Maurikas in the title role, with Barbara Mackay playing the 10 TIGER STAFF Front row, left to right: Barbara MacKay, Norma Perley, Constance Somers.

Everybody worked hard to attain a creditable performance, including the extras and “Dukie”. We earned the first curtain call in the history of Ipswich High and were therefore totally unprepared for it. Tomorrow we graduate; Friday night we hold our reception. Thus our high school career will have ended. We are excited and happy, perhaps, on the brink of a new world. But I’m sure that each one of us also feels a pang of regret at ending what many say are the hap- piest days of our life.

CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1959 Characters: Constance Somers and George Vlahos Scene: Central Park in New York. Connie is looking through a huge magnifying glass, and suddenly George’s face ap- pears before her. Connie speaks first. Connie: iipes! Georget Here! Here! Just what in the worid are you looking for? Connie: Meee? Oh, I’m look- ing for my friend Eddie Ogiba’s saxophone. He’s the great band- leader you know, and as a private 12 F.B.I. Agent, I’m lending him a helping hand. George: Did you say Eddie Ogiba? Connie: (continues looking) Yup! George: But you don’t mean the Eddie Ogiba. Connie: The very same! George: But I used to go to school with him back at good old Ipswich High School. Why sure, Ed and I played football together. Connie: You and he played foot- ball together at I.H.S. George: That’s what I said. Same team. Same year. Connie: For golly sakes, I went to I.H.S. with Eddie too. George: (Takes off glasses and distinguishes height of Connie. He pulls out little black book.) Well, what do you know! You must be Connie Somers. Connie: (Simultaneously pulls out a black book, compares height of George and shouts) And you — Gus Vlahos! George: How are you? Where have you been? What have you been doing these last ten years? Connie: As you can see, my dream of becoming a detective has finally come true. I’m assistant to Charlie Mourikas, the new head of the F.B.I. How’s the world been treating you? George: I’ve just been promo- ted to the presidency of the First National Bank in this city. And besides, I have a small family of twelve children. Connie: Why, Gus, you surprise me. I thought surely you’d turn out to be an old bachelor. Hmmm,talk- about bachelors, I saw Robert Poole the other day. His class title of woman hater really stuck. He’s vice-president of the Bachelors’ Club back in Rowley. George: Rowley! Remember how Norma Perley used to hate having Neddy go skiing. Well, now that they’re married, he’s per- suaded her to buy a ski tow in New Hampshire. Polly Perley, special surgeonforthe New England vicin- ity, has been kept busy mending broken bones and dislocated should- ers. Connie: Let’s see. Who else came from Rowley? Oh! Jackie Grundstromis now working for the Maguire and Jewett Construction Company. You remember Burt and Walt. They helped Mr. Burgess build his modern castle on High Street. George: Joe Canejo has finally succeeded in owning the largest pig ranches in the world. His pigs surpass all others because of the fact that they have private rooms with built in mud puddles. Connie: What an easy life! Bacon for breakfast, pork chops for dinner, and smoked shoulder for supper. George: He must be rolling in the money now, and what a job his bookkeeping must be. Connie: No, I don’t think so. Louise Tenney is handling the ac- counts, and they say she’s mighty good at it. George: Speaking of accounts, 13 THE FRENCH CLUB Front row, left to right: Vivian Cook, George Vlahos, Miss Blodgett, David Purdy, Constance Somers. , Back row: Edward Morgan, Sarah Harvey, Mary Perley, Barbara MacKay, Patricia Tyler. I see that June Hall has followed in her father’s footsteps and is now a clerk at the Co-operative Bank in Ipswich. Connie: What’s your old buddy Jens Nordquist doing? George: Nok’s a chemist .with the New England Chemical Lab- oratories in Boston. One of his very many female assistants is none other than Mary Bouzianis. Connie: If you think working in a chemical plant is something big, guess what Anne Edmondson is doing? George: Probably managing many little stitches. Connie : No, not quite , but she’s built the largest Campbell Soup Company in the world, and in Ham- ilton no less. George: Her brother, Frankie, is the new artist for the Baran Worldly News. His job is to draw the comic strip entitled, “Super- man From Venus.” Three guesses who poses for him. Connie: He’dhavetobe strong, wouldn’t he? Now who was the Superman of our class? Let’s see. 14 Ohhh — the dawn comes. It must be Billy Geist. George: Say, that ' s rigJat. You ' ve got a pretty good memory. I suppose you know that Eddie Bies is the most sought after man in America. His good looks brought him fame as well as fortune. Why, Sunday I saw him running through tne Empire State Building. Close at his heels were fifty giggling girls. Connie: That reminds me of our class boyologist, Barbara Mac- Kay. She ' s now the United States Ambassador to Greece. She ' s striving for better relations. George: Better relations! That ' s what Dave Purdy is working for in his position as U.S. Repre- sentative to U. N. E. S. C. O. Of course, in his spare time, he holds the center field position on the Red Sox. Connie: Eleanore Markos and Connie Geanakakis are recording secretaries for the Economic and Social Council. They get to see Puzz at all the U.N. Meetings. George: Now that the United Nations have started to develbp the Amazon district in South America, Perry Georgekopoulos, Robert Phaneuf and Eugene Lynch have packed their bags and have gone to Brazil. They plan to take advan- tage of the free land offered to the new settlers who in turn will de- velop it into farm land. Connie: Thomas Hills has been buying up some land down there. He ' s making a huge profit by sell- ing to mining concerns. Eleanor Lampropoulos is the head of his office staff and has handled the business very skillfully. George: Getting back to Ameri- ca, Don Leet is the new Fish and Game Warden of Essex County. Ever since he took over, the wild- life has become more and more plentiful. He always manages to catch Casimir Soroka, our old class clown, taking home more fish than the state permits. Connie: Yes, I remember Shreik. He was always up to some mischief. Eddie Szemacko, who just missed getting class clown, is now one of the best jockeys in the country. He has a hard time curb- ing his big appetite, but he man- ages to keep his weight down fairly well. George: Charlotte Dow has gone to Alaska and opened up the Agawam Coffee Shoppe so that she may be near Frances. Fred Man- uel is also another restaurant own- er, now that he ' s taken over his father ' s duties. Connie: Duty proves to be a daily routine for the first three girls of our class to be married. Jeanette Knowles and Margie Smith are running a day nursery called the “Burke and Player Toddling Tots ' Kindergarten while Carol Field owns a summer resort in Maine called “Tiger ' s Tumble Inn . Why, Gus, what are you looking at? George: Your hairdo. It seems to me to be the work of a very smart hairdresser. Connie: Smart she is, for she is the very same Pat Vasilopoulos we went to school with. Her beauty parlor guarantees hair to stay in 15 f THE ORCHESTRA Front row, left to right: Mr. Tozer, Donald Leet, David Clements, Neil Jodoin, William Bruni. Middle row: Joanne Robertson, Lillian Hawkes, Patricia Steen, Cleanor Powers, Patricia Sullivan. Back row: Robert Conley, Stephen Marvin, Edwin Ogiba, George Tsoutsouris. for forty years. Hum, Gus why don’t you try her treatment? George: Never mind the jokes, or you’ll find yourself under the care of special nurse, Doris Clem- ents, at the New York Hospital. By the way, I visited Jennie Przybylo at the hospital last week. She b roke her leg while playing for the Girls’ All Star World Basketball Team. Connie: Oh, yes, I read about that. In the same hospital, day after day, Marlene Super also a special nurse, can be seen peeking through a keyhole trying to catch a glimpse of Teddy Williams. George: I see where Frankie Dattilo has replaced Williams in left field and considering that he never used to like the Sox, his opinion must have turned a com- plete somersault. Money talks. Connie: Sure does. Isn’t Eddie Morgan the new manager of the Boston Sox? George: Yes, and now that Eddie is manager, he’s revolutionized baseball. The outfielders have 16 comfortable sofas with wheels on them; automatic pitchers have been invented, and the infielders have magnetic gloves to attract the balls. Morgan has certainly attained fame with his pushbottom team. Connie: Did you hear that Pat Tyler is a French teacher at the Turner School of Languages. Her newest pupils are Christine Mar- kos and Connie Graffum, who have been offered jobs as international secretaries. George: The word “inte rna- tional’” reminds me of the New Foreign Food Restaurant on Fifth Avenue. EleanoreDort is the pro- prietress and Vivian Cook is the chief food taster. Connie: That was what Viv always said she’s do. Her best friend Sally Harvey has opened up the Goody-Good Etiquette School in Rowley. George: The third member of that trio, Lucile Robinson is mar- ried, and her nurse’s training has helped her tremendously. You see, Ray, her husband, is a carpenter and it’s Lou’s job to doctor his fingers whenever he misses the naiL Connie: The Take It or Leavitt” boat factory up on Parker River is progressing rapidly these days. Ashley Leavitt, the owner and manager, sure is proud of his ace designer, Vickie Sikora. She al- ways wanted to become a dress de- signer but somewhere along the way she changed her mind. Her latest dream is to design the fastest ship in the universe. George : I was in North Carolina a few weeks ago, and whom should I meet but Kay Pappamihiel. She’s part owner of a horse show in Ken- tucky, and spends most of her time there. I just happened to bump into her while she was visiting her father’s home. Connie; Margaret Lynch is still living in Ipswich on Linebrook Road. When Eugene left for South America, he gave over his farm business to his sister. It takes both her and her husband to do Eugene’s work. George: One of our jitterbugs, Pat Boudreau, finally made use of her talent. Besides owning the Golden Sky Ballroom, she directs all the Hollywood stars in their dance routines. Connie: Gee, I guess that’s about all of our class, isn’t it? George: I can’t think of any- more. By the way, Connie, is this saxophone you’re looking for made of solid gold? Connie: Why, yes! How did you know? George: I happened to notice one in a Pawn Shop down on Seventh Avenue that looked exactly like the one I saw Eddie playing at the Hotel Zanzibar. Connie: Well, I’ll be! I’ve been looking for it for three days and I ' d just about given up hope. Now Eddie will be greatly relieved. George: Say! I have the noon hour off so let’s go down together and see what the story is. Some thief must have stolen the sax and then later pawned it. Connie: How smart of you! You’d make a good F.B.I. agent yourself. Come on! Let’s go! 17 GIFTS TO GIRLS Edward Bies and Edwin Ogiba Edward: Well, here we are! We made it, too. Edwin: If we hadn’t taken that walk on the beach last night, we’d still be looking for gifts, wouldn’t we? Edward: Sure would! Lucky for us that that boat crashed into the rocks and sank and that these relics were washed up on the shore. Edwin: Well, how about dis- tributing them? We’re wasting valuable time and my box of gifts is getting heavy. Kow about yours? Edward: Mine too. 1 11 start the ball rolling.

GLADYS BARAN A sweet disposition is more valuable than gold Gladys, a pretty blue -eyed blonde, is also one of the few good senior typists. She is always helping Miss Machaj with the extra typing. Her very quietness is an asset to Gladys’ personality. She has already put her high school learning to good advantage, for she spends much of her spare time working at the “Ipswich Chron- icle office. Science Club-1 , Latin Club-2; Cub Typist-4; Tiger Typist -4; Tiger Staff; Class Celebrity; Senior Recep- tion committee. EDWAR D BDSS “He is blond and kind, And quite handsome besides. Pleasing to the eyes of the girls “Bentz easily took the title of “Best Looking Boy. He is quiet and inno- cent appearing but he enjoys a prank now and then as his classmates can attest. In the afternoon he works on an estate, but he can usually be seen about town in the evening. His plans for the future have not yet been drafted, but he will, without doubt be successful. Boys’ Glee Club-4; Class Celebrity; Science Club- 1; Tiger Staff; Class Day Part. PATRICIA BOUDREAU ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder. At the end of our junior year Pat had to leave us to occupy one of the beds in Essex Sanitorium. However, that hasn’t kept her from keeping up with her studies so that she could graduate with us. We all wish her a speedy recovery and a happy future. Glee Club-1,2,3. MARY BOUZIANIS To know her is a liberal education. Attractive Mary is rather quiet in school. You will find her most often with Gladys. I’m sure she’ll make a very capable and efficient nurse. Her outside in- terests seem to lie in Haverhill. Science Club-1; Latin Club-2; Class Day Play 4. 32 JOAQUIM CANEJO “You live but once, so make the best of life.” Extremely vociferous and with always a joke or story to regale his classmates, “ Jacky” has frolicked his way through school. An excellent mathematician he also proved himself a capable woodworker. He be- lieves in enjoying himself in the evening and can often be seen about town with his brother and pals. Shop Club-1; Science Club-1; Assistant Stage Man- ager — Senior Play. DORIS CLEMENTS “Among the good things I prove and find The quiet things doth abound.” Doris, one of our quieter members, plans to be a nurse. Her quiet manner will be an asset in that pro- fession. Her afternoons are spent working at the Ip- swich Laundry. It seems that the rest of her spare time is spent with Raymond from Topsfield. Glee Club-2,3; Choir-4; Science Club-1. VIVIAN COOK “Still follow, follow; sure to meet the sun, And confident, that what the future yields will be the right” People who don’t know Viv, think her as very shy, but those who do can always be sure of a quick smile and a good joke when she is near. She is one of the few who will have an honor award ring showing four years of well-rounded school life. For the last two years she has been one of the pretty maids to whom we grudgingly give lunch money. Choir-3,4; Cashier-3,4; Honor Award-1,2,3,4. FRANK DATTILO “Men of few words are the best men.” Quiet and reserved, Frankie devotes most erf his energy to sports. He can be seen occasionally about town in the evenings, but most of his time is spent else- where. His natural ability as a draftsman will aid him greatly in his career as a draftsman. Basketball -3, 4; Basketball letter 4; Baseball-2, 4, Baseball lettfer-4. 33 ELEANOR DORT “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair Like twilight’s too, her dusky hair. Eleanore likes Ipswich High so well that since her folks moved to Gloucester last summer, she has traveled back and forth between the two towns just to graduate from I.H.S. Most of her spare time is spent working in her father’s restaurant in Magnolia so that she will know how to run a restaurant when she has her own some day. At school you see her most often with Connie. CHARLOTTE DOW A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent. Since Charlotte changed her residence from Revere to Ipswich, we have enjoyed her presence with us. The majority of her leisure time is spent taking care of children and writing to Fran, her soldier boy. When ' ever we see long brown hair and hear a shy little laugh, we know she’s around. Basketball-3; Cub Typist-4; Choir-4; Tiger Typist ' 4. ANN EDMONDSON “Good nature is one of the richest fruits of Christianity. Ann joined us in our junior, year and made herself most welcome. Her cheerful smiles and friendly words have won many a friend during her short stay. On the basketball court she became one of our leading scorers. Her heart interest lies in Hamilton with a young man who, though not the manufacturer of a famous soup, does carry the same name. Basketball -3, 4; Choir-4; Tiger Staff-4; Basketball letter -4; Archery-4; Assembly Committee -4; Class Day Play-4. FRANK EDMONDSON “The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill.” “Pinky, well named because of his red hair and violent blush, joined us in our junior year. Since then he has quickly become a popular member erf our class. His title as class artist is well deserved and he should find no trouble in entering the field of commercial art. . Basketball -4 ; Art Editor, Cub Staff -4 ; Tige r Staff -4 ; Class Celebrity; Class Day Play-4. 34 CAROL FIELD “Full of sweet dreams and health and quiet breathing.” Carol, another of our Rowleyites, is one of the more reserved members of the class. Her thoughts are most often in Key West with “Tiger”, the boy with whom she will be altar -bound in August. We know that Carol is an excellent seamstress, a good beginning for home - making. CONSTANCE GEANAKAKIS “Sparkling eyes and dancing feet.” Connie, one of our well-dressed seniors, seems ra- ther sophistocated to many. She has helped, however, to lighten with her gaiety four years of work for her fellow secretarial students. She loves dancing as you would easily guess from watching her gyrations on the dance floor. Glee Club-1; Cub Typist -3, 4; Tiger Typist -4. FRANK GEIST “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men.” Full of pep and fun, Billy is always ready for a joke or prank. You will seldom find him in Ipswich in the evenings as there seems to be a strong attraction in the direction of Danvers. He is very popular with the girls, getting honorable mention as the most handsome boy. Football -2, 3, 4; Boys’ Glee Club-1,4. PERICLES GEORGAKOPOULOS “From day to day, I go my way.” A sober industrious fellow is “Pete” and one of you can always depend on. He is one who will stick to the end in an argument of any kind. Afternoons and even- ings during part of the week are spent working in the movies. The rest of the time he enjoys himself. Science Club- 1 ; Shop C lub - 1 ; Photography Club -1,2; Boys’ Glee Club-4. 35 CONSTANCE GRAFFUM “Her face was fair, her person pleasing, Her temper aimable, her heart kind. Where there is music, there is Connie, and no dance is too difficult for her to attempt. Besides being a capable dancer, she has also proved her ability to shout by successfully completing the year as head cheer- leader. Although most of Connie’s time is spent with her secretarial course, she usually finds extra moments for fun and romance. Cheerleader-1,2,3,4; Head Cheerleader-4; Letter-4. JOHN GRUNDSTROM “Never haughty, never proud But popular in any crowd. “Grummy came from Newburyport to join us in our senior year. He soon made friends with everybody, and now we would be lost without him. As he has a car, his outside activities are numerous and cover quite a bit of territory. The nature of his work after school is not definite, but his affability should aid him in whatever he chooses. Football-4; Letterman-4; Boys’ Glee Club-4; Tiger Staff; Class Day Play -4. JUNE HALL “The way to have a friend, is to be one. June returned to I.H.S. in the middle of this year after an interval of four years. Don’t be fooled by her many questions. She is as intelligent as she is pretty. It’s just that so many things have happened since she left that she has to become reoriented to Ipswich. We’re glad she decided to graduate wich us. SARAH HARVEY “And there she was as sharp and bright And in her natural spirit gay. If “Sally hadn’t been present at our class meet- ings, things would certainly have been dull. Her per - serverance has won many a point. She is a constant source of information and a never-ceasing source of fun. Independability and friendship Sally ranks as one of the highest.

If you need Mnm to help you out of a tough spot, though, you (n rafty on him. His social life is moderate and he telaMB around town much. After completing school will probably turn to farming. Shop Club-1; Cub and Tiger Typist-4. WALTER JEWETT •But now that the years have lowered my beam And I am more than seventeen. •Walt is one of the more boisterous members of tfet class and one who thoroughly enjoys a good joke. Much of his time is taken up by farm chores and helping Mr. Burgess build his house. However, he does find time to enjoy himse lf in the evening. Boys’ Glee Club-1; Photography Club-1,2; General Science Club-1. JEANETTE KNOWLES “A lovely lady garmented in light from her own kind. Jeanette, who is quiet and easy-going, came to us from Newburyport in our junior year. Much to the dis- appointment of the boys, our pretty Jeanette has al- ready made plans for the future, for she and Tommy will soon be altar -bound. Glee Club-3; President of Glee Club-3. ELEANOR LAMPROPOULOS “The smiles that win, the tints that glow. Ella, another of our secretarial students, can al- ways find time to exchange a sympathetic word with her friends. Although, in general, Ella is one of our quieter members, she can chatter as well as the rest when she is with Connie, Tina, and Eleanor. Because she is so good in typing and shorthand, she should be- come a good secretary. Glee Club-1; Cub Typist, Tiger Typist. 37 ASHLEY LEAVITT “Quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” One of our Rowley boys, Ashley is considerate, friendly, and always cheerful. A devotee of shop, Ashley is also interested in boating. He is an active member erf the “Rowley Sea Scouts,” a recently formed organization. His vocation is as yet indefinite, but, whatever he takes up we are sure he will find success. DONALD LEET “I have laid aside business and gone a-fishing I am sir a Brother of the Angle.” An amiable fellow, “Don” has lately centered his interest on fishing. You may see him and his com- panion Steve at the local fishing spots. The rest of his time is spent behind the counter in the local A P. He is also a member of the school orchestra. Tiger Staff; Boys’ Glee Club-1,4; Orchestra-3,4; Band-1; Photography Club; Science Club-1. EUGENE LYNCH “My, don’t I fool ' em. If they only knowed The million things I’m doing all the time.” “Nit” is the working man of our class. He is seldom seen about the streets down town except on Thursday nights after Hi-Y meetings. Although ‘Nit’s” last few years in school have been most trying, he has managed to keep up his school work during his spare time from working the farm. Brilliant, clever, and unselfish are just a few of the adjectives which de- scribe “Nitty.” His harmless little pranks and a good sense of humor have left their imprint on the minds of our classmates. Tiger Staff; Boys’ Glee Club -4; Latin Club -2; Science Club-1; Class Day Play. MARGARET LYNCH “Her mirth the world required; She bathed it in smiles ctf gle e.” Along with her many duties at home Margaret does find time to become a class mischief-maker. Often- times the class room is silent when suddently wehear a hilarious peal of laughter. We may be sure it is Margaret being a good audience for the boys. Her spare time seems to be spent riding in Teddy’s car. Glee Club-1. 38 BARBARA MacKAY “She is full of joke and just, And her many quipps are never o’er Barb, class boyologist and actress, unmistakeably rates both titles. In her leading role in the senior play she was very convincing just as she has been in every play we’ve ever put on. If you want to know where to find Barb, just look for either Connie or Janie, and she’ll very likely be with them. Barb has led such an active school life that it would be difficult to name all her accomplishments. To mention one other, however, she has been one of the basket-ball stars on the all star girls’ team this year.

BURT MAGUIRE ‘For he was a lusty young man. A green Ford coupe zips out of the yard at 1:30 with a boy and his girl as passengers. The driver, of course, is Burt giving Helen a ride home. As stage manager for the Senior Play he proved his ability at wood-working which he will probably make his career. He also spends much time working on Mr. Burgess house. Boys’ Glee Club-1,4; Shop Club-1,2; Band-2,3,4; Photography Club -1,2; Stage Manager Senior Play. FRED MANUEL “Deferential, glad to be of use, Polite, cautious, and meticulous. Quiet and unassuming Fred is dependable and al- ways willing to give a helping hand. Much of his time is spent assisting his father in the “Ideal Restaurant. Art is one of his accomplishments and he could un- doubtedly make it a profitable career if he so desired. Whether he turns to restau ranting, drawing, or some- thing else, we all wish his success. Shop Club-1,2; Boys’ Glee Club -4; Class Day Play -4. CHRISTINE MARKOS “She loves to laugh, she loves all fun. She’s never quiet when school’s begun. Tina, petite, with curly hair and sparkling dark eyes, is the constant pal of cousin Eleanor. Whenever there is fun to be had, Tina is generally an hand to share it. She was an efficient office worker and a familiar figure in the halls collecting and delivering attendance slips. Science Club-1; Glee Club-1; Cub Typist -3,4; Tiger Typist -4. 39 ELEANOR MARKOS “Her eyes how they twinkle Her dimples how merry.” Eleanor’s merry eyes denote her blithe outlook on life. She is one of the girls who help to liven up bookkeeping class. You may always find her with Tina, her constant companion. If personality has any- thing to do with it, Eleanor will make a fine secretary. Glee Club- 1; Choir -4; Science Club-1; Tiger Staff - 4; Senior Reception Committee -4; Tiger Typist-4; Cub Typist -3 ,4. EDWARD MORGAN He’s a good fellow, and t’will all be well.” Short in stature and unobtrusive in manners, “Eddie” spends most of nis time keeping track of sports teams. He is a member of the Photography Club, but sports prove more interesting to him. A job as manager of a major league baseball team would be pleasing to him} so we wish him success. Band-1; Photography Club -1,2; French Club -4. CHARLES MOURIKAS “My mind to me a kingdom is; Such present joys therein I find ” The school would find it hard to get along without “Charley.” The fact that he was elected class president three years reflects the opinion of his classmates. Chosen as class politician, he took a great interest in his class and the school and was consequently voted the one who has done most for his class and won honorable mention for one who has done most for the school.

JENS NORDQUIST “Give me good digestion, Lord, And also something to digest.” ‘Nok,” as he is familiarly known to his classmates, is one of the sparkplugs of our class. His hearty laugh and engaging smile naturally attract people. Chemistry is his chosen field, and with the ability he has shown in school he should make an excellent chemist.

His talents have secured him a place in Horace MacKenney’s orchestra. Much of his time is spent with Ann, and what is left over is taken up by his numerous other activi- ties. A veterinarian is what he intends to become and he ought to make a good one.

KATHERINE PAPPAMIHIEL “For every friend a smile, For every smile a friend.” Gay Kay is everyone’s friend and no one’s enemy. Who could by angry with her when she smiles? For the last two years she has sold sweets in cafeteria, and this year she has worked dili- gently in the school library trying to straighten the mess which the students in Study Hall invariably make of the place. Kay is practicing her Southern accent, for soon after commencement she will leave New England to make North Carolina and the Southland her home.

MARY PERLEY “I burn my candle at both ends But what a lovely light it sends.” Jolly Polly is our class treasurer and ore of our most ac- tive members. If you run through the list of committees in our high school career, you will find Polly’s name on two-thirds of them. Her capable hands have also helped to steer the “Cub” through a most successful year. Her election as D. A. R. girl and the many titles she received when we elected class celeb- rities indicate that Polly was truly our most popular gin.

NORMA PERLEY “Snappy, Happy, Pretty and gay, She has fun for every day.” Normie’s true character is indicated by the mischievous look in her eyes. Always ready for a laugh at her own or someone else’s expense, she has become one of our most welcome mem- bers from the metropolis of Rowley. She is quite accomplished on both the piano and the accordian. She should succeed as a nurse because of her willingness to work hard. Glee Club-1, 2; Girl’s Choir-3, 4; Latin Club-3; Tiger Staff- 45 Accompanist for Glee Club-3, 4. 41 ROBERT PHANEUF “Each dainty footstep brought him closer to our hearts.” We see somebody striding down the corridor head and shoulders above the other students. Who is it? “Bob” Phaneuf. Outside activities seem to hold more interest for him than studies so they should prove interesting if brought to light. His career is still open, but we are sure it will be successful. Boy’s Glee Club-1; Football- 2, 3; Basketball-2, 3. ROBERT POOLE “But all the pleasure that I find is to maintain a quiet mind.” “Pooly” hails from Rowley and is such a shy, quiet fellow you have to look twice to make sure he is there. Though he is inclined to hide his candle under a bushel, a high score on intel- ligence tests betray him. His outside activities are somewhat obscure, but we know horseback riding is one of his favorite pastimes. He may also be seen in the orchestra with a violin tucked under his chin. Orchestra-3, 4. JENNIE PRZYBYLO “A sunny disposition is the very soul of success.” If you walked into the gym one day during girls’ basketball practice and were almost knocked over by a blue streak, it was probably Jennie, one of our excellent guards helping to keep down the score for the opposing team. Jennie, who seldom seems to have a trouble of her own, has a smile and a friendly word for all who have. However, her special smiles are kept for a certain young man in Lynn. Cub Typist- 4; Tiger Typist-4; Basketball-3, 4; Letter -3, 4; Tiger Staff. DAVID PURDY ' “A man with heart, head, and soul, Like some of the simple great ones gone by.” Always willing to lend a hand and give a friendly smile is Dave, our class athlete. On the football field and baseball dia- mond he became an indispensable figure - so much so that he was made captain of both teams this year. A popular fellow with both boys and girls, Dave has been president of our sopho- more class and of both French and Latin Clubs.

She has chosen well her profession as a nurse. I’m sure her patients will thrive on her friendly smile, twinkling eyes, and soft touch.

EDWARD SEMACKO “Young fellows will be young fellows.” A bright green pick-up truck roars into the school yard with a full load of passengers. Who is piloting it? Why “Juda” of course. School work is only casually interesting to him, except shop, where he spends his most profitable hours. Any number of occupations are interesting to “Juda” and we hope he makes a success- ful choice. Football -2, 4; Baseball -4; Shop Club-1,2,3,4; Boys’ Glee Club-4; Class Celebrity; Class Day Play-4. VICTORIA SIKORA “Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and talk in, Dresses to dance in, and flirt in, and walk in.” None of us could have done without Vickie, our class secretary, because she has kept our class business straight during the last three years. Her lovely clothes and neat appearance speak eloquently of her unusual skill with a needle. Vickie was also one of the most courageous ones who dared to venture into the field of Cicero and third year Latin.

MARJORIE SMITH “Fashioned so slenderly, so young, and so fair.” Prettiest, best dressed, and best girl dancer— that’s quite a lot to live up to, but our Margie does it quite well. Though her mind is often off in the clouds with Pic, she is willing to laugh and be merry with the rest. Her best subject is sewing as is well known by the beautiful clothes she has made.

Why aren’t they all contented like me?” No one is ever in need of a friend when our merry Connie is around. Her very presence can make everybody happy. On the basketball floor, ducking and out, guarding the basket, she helped the girls’ team to victory many times. Not only on the basketball floor was she a star; she was equally effective as a student in third year French Class.

CASIMIR SOROKA “Little Master Mischievous, that’s the name for you; There’s no better title that describes the things you do.” Of apparently quiet demeanor, “Shriek” often surprises us with a practical joke.

MARLENE SUPER “To love the game beyond the prize.” Marlene, a warm, friendly, dignified member of our class has a promising career before her as a nurse. Her ability as a star forward during three years of basketball won her the title of Captain over a victorious team. She is determined to express her thoughts through the use of her hands— a trait very distur- bing to the teachers. We wish great success in the ensuing years to an inspiring classmate.

She’s one of the luckier souls of our class, for she has had an excellent job in a bank offered to her right after she finishes a six- weeks’ summer course.

There would have been many a silent moment if she hadn’t known all the answers. Never ask Pat a math question, though, for her bril- liant mind does not run to figures. Her impish smiles and smothered giggles at Gus’s corny jokes have often sent French class into gales of laughter for no reason at all.

SPORTS REVIEW Although the 1948 football season proved to be somewhat dis- astrous on the score sheet, it was a very beneficial experience for the fellows who stuck it out to the end. The sixteen football players who survived the test know what it is to lose and know how to appreciate a victory. Several factors were re- sponsible for the lopsided scores and the unrest among the boys. In- experience, a new formation, a new coach, and a misconception of the meaning of the word “football among the newer fellows, were the main reasons for setbacks during a season marked by unlucky breaks. The spirit to overcome these ob- stacles was missing, partly be- cause of the fact that only two regulars from the team of 1947 re- turned to play in ’48. The coach 46 BOYS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: Ernest Nikas, Peter Somers, David Player.

The competition was keener than usual in the Cape Ann League this year with two new teams en- tered into the circuit- -St. Ann’s of Gloucester, and the Essex Aggies of Danvers. St. Ann’s led the league and Ipswich came in fifth place. These games, with the ex- ception of two or three, were all hard fought battles from the first _to the last minute; .

The fifth game, however was 48 a victory over a weak Perley High nine from Georgetown. After this game the bpys rolled right on to a game -winning streak. Here we are able to make very favorable pre- dictions for next year. The squad is composed of mostly all under classmen and two -thirds of them will have three solid seasons of baseball behind them when the next high school season rolls around in ’50. Two of these seasons are with the Junior -Legion during the sum- mers of ' 48 and ’49.

Oddly enough the fellows who represented our class in sports during our eighth grade and fresh- man year have all left school ex- cept Charles Mourikas and George Vlahos, who were managers of football and basketball these two first years. An intramural softball league was held this freshman year under popular Coach Federico in which our class took second place. We were the only team to defeat the first place eighth graders. In our sophomore year several of our present class were out for football, and Dave Purdy became the first boy in our class to receive a letter. When the junior year came along, we were more enthusiastic about sports, and more of our class- mates went out for football and basketball. There were no base- ball teams this year. Three of our boys played football, and all three earned their letters. Our senior and last year, five of our boys played football on the first string, four played basketball, and three were on the baseball squad. Several of our boys par- ticipated in a new track team, and many of the fellows participated in the intramural basketball league, a new venture started by Coach Dorr. We of the Class of 49 wish Coach Dorr and all the athletes of I.H.S. a year of victorious teams and the loyal support of the mem- bers of the school. 49 GIRLS’ JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Front row, left to right: Maureen Sullivan, Virginia Cuik, Patricia Steen, Eleanor Sklarz, Katherine Flynn.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Connie Somers It is with ,great pride that the graduating class of 1949 leaves behind the athletic record of our fair lassies. Under the able coach- ing of Miss Frances Cogswell, the Tigresses came through once more to boast a winning team. But let us go back to the origin of their career. Being the first class to enter Ipswich High as eighth graders, we have five years’ experience in school sports behind us. From the very first our girls proved their ability by putting together a small but up-and-coming team. Our freshman year we became full fledged members of our alma mater. Greatly improved, our Tigresses set out once more to 50 GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL Front row, left to right: Marlene Super (Captain), Ann Czegka, Theodora Geanakos, Charlotte Frydrych.

Along with basketball, soft- ball created an interest among the girls. Also when we were freshmen, Coach Cogswell provided instruc- tion as well as fun and entertain- ment for the public by holding the second girls’ exhibition. Dances, apparatus work, exercises, march- es, wary! drills, and basketball were just a few attractions- of this gymnastic performance. In the fall of 1946 we became sophomores and also the regular second team. We played our first game with Hamilton during which a bad case of stage fright was ex- perienced by each member. We won this battle, however, and went on ahead to gain five victories while receiving one setback from a strong Rockport six. The next year our lassies be- came the varsity and attained greater glory by coming through with six victories. One defeat was 51 furnished by a much improved Beverly Team . Captained by Audrey Rose, managed by Polly Perley, and coached by Miss Cogswell the Tigresses showed great skill when playing. Marlene Super led the team in scoring. And now to our fifth and final year of sports activities. Our class is able to boast five of the six varsity members as follows: center forward, Marlene Super; right forward, Anne Edmondson, center guard, Barbara MacKay; right guard, Connie Somers, and left guard, Jennie Przybylo. Our left forward, Theodora Geanakos, was borrowed from the junior class. Below is listed the record of our girls for the year 1949. Total points scored.

Their opponents were stronger in every respect and thus by winning six of the eight games played, the Tigres- ses definitely proved their ability. For the year 1949 Marlene Super piloted the team and also held the honor of being high scorer, averaging fifteen points a game. Polly Perley again offered her much needed services as manager. The highlight of the season was the tilt between the Tigresses and the Tigers. Proving to be just about the most hilarious event of the school year, this game provided entertainment for all ages. One half was played by boys’ rules; the other half by girls’ rules. Being a stronger team, the Tigers had to wear boxing gloves on both hands. Oh, yes, one more thing- -we lost 32-28. Thus the curtain falls to end our careers in the field of sports. Good luck to the Seniors and much success to the on coming Tigressea 52 CLASS CELEBRITIES Actor Jens Nordquist Actress Barbara MacKay - Sally Harvey (Honorable Mention) Class Clown . . .Casimir Soroka - Edward Semacko (Honorable Mention) Artist Frank Edmondson Athlete (Boy) David Purdy Athlete (Girl) Marlene Super Baby Katherine Pappamihiel Best -dressed Boy ' Edwin Ogiba Best-dressed Girl Marjory Smith Most Handsome Boy . . .
