Jhe 1951 TIGER IPSWICH HIGH SCHOOL Faculty Adviser Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Advertising Manager Art Editor Miss C. Margaret Allen Mary E. O’Brien David L. Wilson C. Sumner Tyler Florence Campbell DEDICATION It is with deep gratitude that we, the Class of 1951, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Tozer. His work with the band, orchestra, glee clubs, choir, and music appreciation classes has endeared him to every stu- dent in the school system. Although he is leaving the teaching scene, he will not be forgotten; for both school and public will long remember his patience and success in presenting so many musical events of interest and worth. After forty-five years of success- ful teaching, Mr. Tozer deserves a rest, but students and faculty will sorely miss his genial manner and musical talent. We hope his past years have been as profitable to him as they have been to us, and we wish him many pleasant years of leisure.

Girls’ Glee Club; Benefit Show; Picture Committee; Cub Staff; Tiger Staff; Operetta 4.

Margaret Belanger “You live but once, so make the best of life.” “Margie”, whose smiling face and cheerful disposition has made her many friends, spends most of her time in cafeteria or lending her support to the Choir.

Archery 1; Glee Club 1, 2. « .A Letitia Day “Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air.” “Titia’s” training in cooking and housekeeping will form a good combination for an ideal housewife in the not- too-distant future.

Phyllis Gauthier “A goodly maid both calm and steady Her willing hands are ever ready.” Genial, subdued, and gracious is our Phyllis. Her warm smile and sense of humor have lightened many an after- noon’s work in cafeteria. Phyllis is planning to enter nurses’ training next year, and we know that she pos- sesses the ability and character necessary for a com- petent nurse. Archery 1. Janet Gillis “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight’s, too, her dusky hair.” Dark-haired “Cappy” has been one of the faithful cook- ing class girls whose hard work brings us our lunches.

Lillian Hawkes “As merry as the day is long.” Lillian’s unsuppressed giggle and dimpled smile are proof of her lively character.

Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3; Cafeteria 3, 4; Cap and Gown Committee 4. James Hill “Act well your- part.” Although Jim was voted our class pessimist, his ready smile and pleasing disposition would seem to indicate that this was not a fitting title. Jim proved his ability as an actor by his excellent portrayal of “Griggs”, the butler, in the Senior Play. Most of his outside time is dedicated to art at which he is very proficient. Any school morning he might have been seen running up Paradise Road in his efforts to catch the bus.

With his likable manner and keen sense of humor, we’re sure Jere will be a success. Boys’ Glee Club 2; Tiger Staff 4; Benefit Show 4; Class Celebrity 4. 9 Ann Hull “Fashioned so slenderly, young and so fair.” Ann, one of our fashion-wise and loveliest girls, was voted one of the “most popular” in the senior class.

Although her outside life is somewhat of a secret, we have heard of a certain “Doug”. Ida can be seen arriving every morning in Burke’s taxi, and we are sure her desire to get ahead will always aid her in a successful career. Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2; Cub and Tiger Typist 4; Junior Prom Committee 3. Lucy Kisiel “The joy of youth and health her eyes display’d.” Lucy is not only the shortest girl in our class, but also one of the merriest. With all the letters she has to write to Dick, she has a difficult time finding time to do her homework. You may notice that almost all of her jewelry is adorned with the Air-Force insignia. Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Cub and Tiger Typist; Prom Com- mittee 3. Yvonne LeBel “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy, I were but little happy, if I could say how much.” Although she is quiet and unassuming, Yvonne has made many friends in school.

Henry Morgan “The old wind woke and moaned in the spars And the same old waves went by.” Henry joined us in our sophomore year and was soon well-known and liked because of his warm smile and hearty laugh. He often rambled to school in his huge green truck, the noise of which gave us many a scare. Although Henry left us during the year to join the Air Force, we welcomed him back to graduate with us in June. Mary O ' Brien “Labor conquers everything.” Mary, the editor of the “Tiger” and “Cub”, was one of the busiest members of the class. Besides holding both editorial posts, she was chosen as our representative to Girls’ State and as our D. A. R. Girl. Her ability was rewarded when we voted her “the one who had done most for the class and school.” With her pleasing smile and attractive personality we are sure she is “the one most likely to succeed.” Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3, 4; Operetta 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Class Celebrity 4; Finance Com- mittee 4; Secretary of French Club 4; “Cub” Staff 3; Editor of “Cub” 4; Editor of “Tiger” 4; Benefit Show; Candy Room 4; Girls’ State 3; D.

Bob is one of our best “shop” students doing fine work in Manual Training. Eleanor Powers “Music hath Charms.” “Elly” is another fine musician in our class. Not only a commendable scholar and pianist, “Elly” is also an ace on the basketball court. That bright sparkle that can be seen in our blond, wavy-haired lass’s eye, shines only for “Summy”, we know.

Kenneth Richards “If they only knew the million things.” Ken, who is our regular first baseman during the base- ball season, can be readily spotted by his “whiffle.” Although most of his time is spent in shop, Ken still has enough time to see a certain sophomore miss quite regularly and to lend his help to the Glee club.

Unless the young- people of our country are alert and interested in creating a better world, America will cease to func- tion as a leading power. It is up to the educational system of our country to prepare our youth for the responsibilities that loom ahead. If it is to succeed, it must overcome obstacles in each educational phase from kindergarten to college. However, here we are more particularly concerned with high school prob- lems. The most pressing worry confronting all teen- agers, especially the boys, is one created by the p.esent instability of the world. Most boys and girls, because of a deep feeling of patriotism, are eager and willi ng to serve their country, if it is necessary. Yet, there is a great wave of unrest among our youth. They do not know how to plan for their futures. We are confident, however, that American youth will adjust itself, as it always has adjusted itself, to this condition and will accept it as a temporary part of their lives and the price they must pay for liberty. Turning to problems in the schools themselves, we find that an overwhelming number of students are leaving school when they reach the minimum age. Others, unable to leave because of age or parental objections just manage to remain in school. These are the “drifters” who amble from class to class list- lessly and waste much valuable time. There are many reasons for the unrest and lack of interest of so many high schoolers. Perhaps the chief reason is that so many students are hampered by basic personality and character problems. These aie the bewildered products of broken homes, the children of parents who have never tried, or do not know how, to guide them through the process of growing up. As a result, the children have developed too many negative personality and character traits — traits constantly preventing them from getting along with teachers and classmates or attaining any suc- cess in life. Another group, although they have better than average ability, have never learned to study. Some haven’t the proper facilities at home or have never been encouraged by parents. Others do not know how to budget their time, for working and social hours leave little time for homework. For this reason many potentially good students fall into the drifter category. Even in what seems to us an advanced age many pupils are still victims of old-fashioned, conservative, and tight-budgeted school systems. Here they find a narrow choice of subje cts mostly in the college pre- paratory field. These pupils, because of absolutely no interest in the subjects offered are receiving little value from their schooling. Yet many students actu- ally do not know where their interests or abilities lie. They gravely need aptitude tests and knowledge of opportunities in various fields. Although much difficulty is with the habitual “Hunkers”, the good students are not without wor- ries. There have been countless jokes about the “brain” or “bookworm” who does nothing but study. Actually this type of student is usually an extreme introvert who hasn’t learned to mix socially. This, too, is a personality problem which has had its roots in an unsatisfactory home life. Contrary to what most people believe, the class leaders are often burdened with worries. The class president, the football star, the yearbook reporter, or the lead in the senior play sometimes gets too involved in these activities and finds his academic responsibilities lagging far behind. Especially in a small school an energetic person may find himself in so many extra-curricular activities that he can- not keep his marks on the same level as his abilities. Students who have college in mind are wondering whether they will continue to be scholastically suc- cessful. Since small schools cannot give the keen competition found in the larger high schools and in most universities, many high schoolers will find it difficult to keep the pace demanded of college stu- dents. The biggest headache of most future collegians, however, is financial rather than scholastic. Increased tuitions and sky-rocketing living expenses make col- lege years an enormously expensive period of time. Countless students will find it necessary to take advantage of every working opportunity and scholar- ship in order to defray expenses. These problems which are making so many teen- agers appear frustrated and disillusioned are not going unnoticed; for educators are constantly work- ing to solve them. They are faced, however, with the practical impossibility of correcting in high school character and personality faults which are developed in early childhood. Unless we bolster our efforts to eradicate slums and divorce and create a solid home background, our high schools will continue to be filtered with belligerent and badly-adjusted youths. Throughout elementary and high school, the school and the home must work together to develop and respect proper attitudes and values. If this had been done more widely in the past, we should not now be reckoning with the Frank Costellos and Judith Coplons. The addition of vocational training has greatly improved our school systems. Formerly many drop- outs and failures occurred because too much em- phasis was placed on college preparation, and the great majority of students were not and could not be interested in college. Now that so many curricula contain vocational subjects, a much more practical education is being attained by our youth. 17 A more recent improvement has been the instal- lation of life adjustment courses. Classes are now being offered in personality development, marriage and home economics, and other subjects which guide young people toward a fuller later life. In the same field as life adjustment is the guid- ance counselor, who is becoming a fixture in more and more schools. Known as “the teen-agers’ Mr. Anthony”, he aids students in selecting courses and ironing out personal worries. Most people agree that we obey rules more readily if we have had some voice in making them. There- fore, student government is becoming increasingly popular. The student council works closely with the faculty in making laws and supervising activities. For this reason there is more school spirit, and more students take active parts in extra-curricular activi- ties. Realizing that there are and will be great oppor- tunities for advancement in the armed services, pro- fessions, and countless vocations, educators are con- stantly striving to prepare youth to fill these needs. Already shortages exist in many key positions. High school graduates, in spite of prevailing conditions, should be looking toward the future with hope and energy instead of the defeatist attitude that so many have. It is imperative that these graduates be pre- pared to jump the hurdles ahead of them. They must be able to fill positions, create new homes, and help our government maintain its position of leadership. Thus we see that the success of our country de- pends on the products of our schools. Therefore each citizen must cooperate with educators in securing the best educational system possible both in the school and in the home. For in the words of Horace Mann: “If ever there be a cause, if ever there can be a cause worthy to be upheld by all toil or sacri- fice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of education.” THE DRAFT OF EIGHTEEN YEAR OLDS By JEANNE TODD Many boys all over the land are receiving that familiar greeting from Uncle Sam telling them that they are now members of the armed forces. If it will prove any consolation to them, boys their age have faced the same problem for over two thousand years. About that long ago, when the Roman Em- pire faced attack by powerful outsiders, Servius Tullius called for the organization of a standing army which would be comprised of all able-bodied citizens of the upper and middle classes, together with slaves and farmers. In the middle ages each lord had his own knights, professional soldiers, and serfs who served him in return for his protection. He, in turn, was ready with his followers, to serve the king. In greater conflicts, kings supplemented their forces with hired aliens who were professional soldiers. This practice of hiring outsiders to fight continued on through our own Revolution when the British hired Hessian soldiers to aid them. If a boy had been drafted during the Civil War, the chances are that he might, without shame, have paid someone to take his place as this was a com- mon practice. Up to the time of World War I the number of volunteers was great enough so that comparatively few men had to be drafted. Although the United States’ policy has always been to main- tain a small peacetime army, the scale of fighting has increased and so have the numbers needed to wage war. This fact, combined with increasing ten- sion and the threat of spreading Communism, has forced our country into rearming and maintaining a powerful peacetime army. Another reason for military expansion is the number of men lost in Korea under the United Nations banner. Most of our men, according to the present selec- tive service law, have been drawn from the nineteen- to-twenty-six group, which is being rapidly depleted. Therefore, we must eventually dip into the untouched resource of our eighteen-year-olds. The number needed will, of course, depend upon the number of troops we commit to help safeguard various “hot spots” and the number who are killed helping free peoples oppressed by Communism. Consider, too, the number of eligible draftees in comparison with the total number of men in the eighteen-year-old age group. Many will not qualify because of mental or moral defects. Others are em- ployed in vital industry, a condition which eliminates them automatically from the draft. Then there are those who are exempt because they are married or have dependents. The small number of eligible eighteen-year-olds subject to draft beyond these exemptions brings up a serious problem: Should these eighteen-year-old boys be drafted for military service ? Consider the words “able-bodied.” Should only able-bodied men be taken into the service? What about the able-minded — those men who are skilled mentally but just have minor physical de- fects. President Conant of Harvard has suggested that able-minded men could do clerical or camp maintenance work even though they are physically unsound. Then consider the “military service” clause. Un- der present provisions each draftee is liable for twenty-seven months’ service which, in the case of the eighteen-year-old, will interrupt his education unless he can take advantage of a deferment plan. One can be deferred if he stands in the upper half of his college freshman class or if he passes a 18 government sponsored test. The others are subject to be called at any time. Even though education may be interrupted, many young men have come to realize that working for Uncle Sam is inevitable, and they are somewhat comforted by the reassuring college records of veterans who, educators agree, profit most by a college education under the G.I. Bill. There are arguments in favor and against the use of eighteen-year-olds. Foremost of the latter is the assumption that these fellows are too young for military service. Although many boys that age are immature, countless others settle down and profit by military training and experience. We have all seen wandering, disinterested young men enlist in the service and come back with a real sense of values and become useful citizens in their communities. Another advantage of the service is the oppor- tunity for young men to learn a profitable trade. Some of our draftees learn more in the service than they ever would in outside life. One of the main disadvantages of this plan for drafting eighteen-year-olds is that we need trained scientists, doctors, technicians, etc. These professions require many years of uninterrupted study which is difficult to attain under present world conditions. Paul Banfield has suggested a solution for this problem. He advocates the drafting of all eighteen- year-olds as soon as they finish high school. They could take military training in the summer between their junior and senior years in high school, and the year following graduation. They would then be allowed to attend college. Such students could take Reserve Officers’ Training Corps courses at college and spend summers training. Thus they would be ready in case of an emergency. Whether it will be necessary to use the eighteen-year-old group, we do not yet know; but if it is, we can count on these boys to be ready. In the words of Emerson: “So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, Thou must, The youth replies, I can.” BUILDING CHARACTER FOR A By ELEANOR POWERS BETTER WORED A most important turning point in our lives is graduation from high school. To many it may mean going on to a higher level of education; others may apply for jobs, enlist or be drafted into the army. Whatever we do, we must realize that we are no longer to live sheltered lives, protected and cared for by our parents, and encouraged and helped by our teachers. Instead we are going to have to face the world by ourselves. “But,” you may ask, “what kind of world are we facing?” Let’s take a look at a picture of America today. It is a dark, gloomy one as revealed by the recent Kefauver investigation committee. Such an exposure of nationally organized gambling, racketeering, political corruption, and immorality is unprecedented in our country and evidence that we have reached a new low in public and private moral- ity. Not even young people are immune to the greedy machinations of totally unprincipled men as the basketball scandals and widespread sales of narcotics to teen-agers testify. Shocking and disturbing as these exposures are, perhaps even more so are the unethical, to say the least, practices and misuse of power and influence in high places as uncovered by Senator Fulbright’s investigation of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion. More shocking, because we expect more from our leaders, who should be setting the pattern of conduct for the people. “If gold rust, what can iron do?” To say within the letter of the law but to fail to respect the spirit of the law, as offenders in government have done, is a gross derelition of duty and responsibility. Fortunately there is a brighter side to the picture. The people have been thoroughly aroused and shocked into action at these exposures, and steps are being taken to clean up America. The recommendations of the Kefauver Committee Report will without doubt be scrupulously followed ,and Senator Fulbright’s plea for higher standards of conduct in government officials will be heeded. Such a clean-up, of course, demands a people, alert and responsible to their civic duties and determined to vote into office only men of unquestioned integrity who will carry out the will of the people for honest government. But where do we as teen-agers fit into this pic- ture ? In building a strong character home, church, and school must join forces to place a renewed and stronger emphasis upon simple honesty. In the home it is necessary that there be a renewed emphasis upon character building and the inculcation of the simple virtues of honesty and uprightness in family and social relationships. 19 From the Church should come high ideals and the spiritual satisfaction that comes from right liv- ing. Senator Tobey during the Kefauver hearings called on the people to seek religious inspiration and predicted that through a return to religious prin- ciples “we will have a nation in which ‘dwelleth righteousness’ and before God, it is high time!” In the school more stress should be placed on development of sound character through a respon- sible attitude towards work on the part of the stu- dent. Many irresponsible pupils try to slide by with doing as little honest work and putting in as little time as possible in order to receive their diplomas. But a diploma should mean more than just sliding by. It should represent a key to the future which has been earned by honest perserverance, and it should be a symbol of a sound character as well as of academic achievement. So far as the teen-ager, or anybody else for that matter, is concerned, morality, like charity, begins at home. Sara Henderson Hay in her sonnet has expressed it well in these words: CLASS HISTOJRY CLASS HISTORY By EVELYN KARALIAS “When I, with bitter tongue, denounce those crimes Which man commits against his fellow men, And say he makes a shambles of the times. And list his evil deeds again, again; Cry he is ruthless to achieve his ends, Say he is cruel and greedy and unwise, That he betrays his honor and his friends, At my own door the accusation his. For I am part of the great body of Man And in my breast there lodges all I blame, Diminished merely in its scope and span, In its essential qualities the same. Between the world’s and my own sins I find ' lhe differences of degree, not kind.” This would lead us to conclude that the hope for the future then lies in the determined effort of each individual to make of himself a nobler character. This effort when multiplied by 150,000,000 would obviously result in a better America, and when multiplied still further by 2,000,000,000, a better world. It was a pleasant fall day in early September in the year of 1946 when our class, the class of 1951, launched its career at I. H. S. That year, our first, will not be easily forgotten, for it introduced to us a new system of learning and many new friends. Observing and somewhat brilliant, we, before long, had mastered locker combinations, drawn mental maps of the different routes to classrooms, and quickly learned which stairway to use. The one-way seats in Study Hall didn’t bother us. We just climbed over — gracefully if you happened to be a girl, not so gracefully if a boy. After all the excitement and thrill were over, we settled down and elected David Wilson as our president; Philip Ross as our vice-president; Eleanor Powers, our secretary; and Letitia Day, our treasurer. We held the traditional eighth grade social, which proved to be fun and served as our introduction to high school social life. Our talented class was already taking shape. We presented our first assembly in the form of a play. Most of the credit for its success was due to Miss Hill, who directed it. A rather tardy apology may not be out of order for the many distressing mo- ments we caused her by consuming quantities of potato chips backstage during rehearsals. The claim of our brilliance was finally justified when two of our supposed prodigies, Clark McCarthy and David Wilson, attempted to recite from memory the poem, “The Barefoot Boy,” backwards. Clark did very well with very few errors, but it was David who excelled in the recitations. The fall of 1947 found us full-fledged high school students — capable of appearing on the honor roll, studying subjects of our own choosing, and partici- pating in sports. To lead us this year, we kept our same president, David Wilson, and elected Charlie Bolles to the office of vice president; Maureen Sulli- van, secretary, and Letitia Day, treasurer. We were full of new ambition and vigor in this year, and not knowing all the rules, we wanted to mimic the upperclassmen and choose class celebrities and vote on this and that, but Miss Manzer curbed our enthusiasm and assured us there was plenty of time for these activities later. We were, however, allowed to choose class colors of royal blue and silver. We held our first dance for the school on Saint Patrick’s Day, which proved to be an enjoyable one. The old desire to show off our talent returned again this year when we presented our first enter- tainment to the school. Packed with a variety of talent and something different, it caused classes ahead of us to mention us in their wills, a bit of publicity which made us quite proud. In this very year our enthusiasm at one of the assemblies was mistaken for misconduct, and we were publicly and immediately subjected to lessons on how to enter and behave in the auditorium. This setback, to our prestige, however, did not lessen our enthusiasm for all future assemblies. We welcomed Lois Lindberg to our happy group this year. Lois has proved herself a friendly class- mate, a good student, often making our honor roll, 20 and an able actress as she effectively played her role in the senior play. Also honoring our ranks this year was Billy Bruni, hailing from Peabody. Bi.i, with his violin, was a great asset to the enter- tainments we presented, and he never failed to get an encore. Returning to the old haunting grounds the next fall, as sophomores this time, we felt as though we knew all the ropes and we were, to put it mildly, slightly conceited. We were not the only ones who thought so, for later in the year an anonymous dic- tionary of I.H.S. appeared in the “Cub” and we, as sopnomores, were proclaimed “the supposed sophis- ticates of I.H.S.” Climbing off our high horse, we settled down and chase our leaders. Charles Bolles was promoted from his position as vice president to the office of presi- dent. His foimer position of vice president was taken by Clark McCarthy. Confident in the good work of our secretary, we again chose Maureen Sullivan, and for the position of treasurer, we voted for Eleanor Buxton. Eleanor joined us in our sophomore year and getting into the swing of things in no time at all, we immediately developed faith in her and turned our money box over to her. We missed “Lolly”, though, when she didn’t return to us in our junior year, as she left to attend Concord High. Others joining us this year were Ann Lombard and Henry Morgan. Ann has made many friends since our sophomore year and Henry has often broken the silence of our classes with his bellowing laugh. We missed him when he left us in the middle of our senior year to join the Air Corps. Once again we rounded up all the talent and presented another entertainment for the school. And once again Billy Bruni held the audience spell- bound with “Fiddle Faddle.” Our sophomore year was indeed the highlight year of our high school career, for the majority of us had Mrs. Lord for English, Latin, and Home Room. She proved most interesting and had us constantly marveling and gasping at the astounding feats she performed in her youth and drooling over her favorite recipes — one of these a Spanish chicken casserole. Yes, she provided us with much humor as well as studies, and whatever she said or did always made the headlines in “The Cub.” As juniors, we had become bolder, proud, and a little anxious, as we remembered the Junior Prom and class rings ahead. To conduct our affairs, we kept our same presi- dent and secretary, and elected Ann Hull as our vies president, and Katherine Flynn as our treasurer. Once again the urge to sing and dance came upon us, so once again we presented another successful entertainment for the school with many boys par- ticipating. Our class rings arrived at last. There was some exchanging, but most of us placed our ring on the reserved finger. After much fuss and debate, we held our Junior Prom. Even though we had the eternal problem of lack of escorts, there was quite a turnout of juniors and everyone had fun. The prom was thought to have been quite successful even though the news “leaked” out that it had left us a few dollars and cents in the hole. Towards the end of our junior year, we learned that the senior class was leaving us a “gift.” Of course, we were pleased and eager to learn what the gift would be and found out in due time that it was William Pescosolido. Now don’t get me wrong; Bill didn’t flunk. He simply requested a demotion to our junior class because he loved basketball and wanted to play it one more year. At any rate we welcomed him, for Bill proved to be quite a valuable acquisition as he livened up our classes with his many jokes and witty remarks and played well an important lead in the senior play. We also welcomed Kay Billings, much to the delight of the boys, and Allegra Cripps, our woman pilot. Our senior year found us united into one big family, huddled in the Study Hall with Miss Allen mothering the brood. Missing in our ranks this year were Katy Flynn and Billy Bruni. Katy had heard wedding bells early last summer, and Billy was stolen by Governor Dummer. An eventful and busy year was ahead of us, so we got right down to business and chose our leaders. David Wilson returned to his office of president after two years’ retirement. Sumner Tyler took the seat of vice president. We kept our same faithful secre- tary, Maureen Sullivan, and gave the money box to Letitia Day. First of all, we held the Hallowe’en Barn Dance which was sponsored by the Boosters’ Club. Fun was had by all and another successful evening was experienced. Our senior day was somewhat calmer than the usual senior day, the highlight of the affair being Gwyneth Gunn’s joke present. Our next venture was the benefit show which was held to collect funds for athletics. The entire school participated, and the public felt they received their money’s worth, as the show was a huge success. A great deal of credit is due to Florence Campbell, who was the originator of the idea and took charge of the entire show and helped make it the success it was. A fashion show was arranged this year for girls only, but since the boys argued that they would be paying for the clothes in future years, they were given special permission to attend. Our four lovely models were Joey Gillis, Eleanor Powers, Florence Campbell, and Ann Hull. Something fairly recent at I.H.S. is Good Govern- ment Day. An appropriate program was arranged by the economics class and an election was held the following day in which David Wilson became our representative. At the same time we chose our D.A.R. girl, Mary O’Brien, a student very deserving of the honor. Of course, the year would not have been complete without a senior play, so we presented one of Noel Coward’s sparkling comedies — “I’ll Leave It To You.” All concerned worked hard towards its suc- cess, and Clark McCarthy, I understand, learned a little something about women. Since last year’s Operetta was so successful, an- other was presented this year with Eleanor Powers, David Wilson, Clark McCarthy, Irene Boudreau, James Hill, Maureen Sullivan, Sumner Tyler, Ann Lombard, Charles Bolles, and Janet Gillis taking the leading roles. Now all that remains of this high school career are the big nights — graduation and reception. Behind them lie five long years of high school life, five long years of study, and friendship, and five long years of happiness — fraught with memo- ries of I.H.S. which we shall cherish always. 21 CLASS TIME: 1961. CHARACTERS: Ann Hull and Clark McCarthy. SCENE: An Internal Revenue Office. Clark is seated behind a desk reading a large black book with huge dollar signs all over it. Ann enters the office and speaks. Ann: I beg your pardon . . . Clark: Yes, what is it — speak right up, Miss. We don’t have time to waste here, you know. Don’t be bashful — what’s your business? Ann: Well! For such a little man, you certainly can spurt out a lot of hot air. Clark: Well, I guess you told me. Now, can I help you? Ann: Yes, you can. I’m here for a friend named Margaret Belanger. You taxed her two million dol- lars this year, and I think it’s too much. She didn’t want to make a fuss over such a trifle, but I thought she should. After all, Margie is only a baby nurse in Beverly Hills now, working for Hedy Lamarr, and she isn’t making quite that much. Clark: Margie Belanger! Why, I went to school with her in Ipswich. She was a pretty little thing. Ann: You certainly did not — why I — No! Did you say your name was McCarthy ? Of course, you’re Clark McCai’thy. Well, for heaven’s sakes, I’m Ann Hull. Clark: Ann Hull! I remember you. Remember, we did the Class Prophecy together? Oh, will you ever forget what we said about Kay Billings? (They both go into roars of laughter.) Ann: What is Kay doing now, by the way? Clark: What we said she would. She’s married and has thirteen beautiful children. Ann: Gee, I hope there’ll be one more. Thirteen is an unlucky number, you know? Clark: How about Charlie Bolles? I remember he used to write for the Chronicle in high school. Ann: The Chronicle! Why, Bollesie is Editor-in- Chief of the New York Times. Clark: That’s wonderful. He was always inter- ested in newspaper work. Ann: Remember our “petite jeune fille,” Irene Boudreau What’s she up to now? Clark: Oh, Irene owns Marcorelle’s Store. She sure ran them right out of business. When John Burns inherited his $300,000, he offered to go into business with her. He’s managing the store and she’s the bookkeeper. Ann: Wouldn’t you know it? I wonder how she keeps him awake long enough to make change though ? Hey, you know who I saw the other day ? — Florence Campbell. Clark: No kidding? Where’d you see her? Ann: I was riding through Rockport when I noticed a red cape and French beret go walking by, carrying an easel. It was Flo! She’s the president of the Rockport Art Association, no less. Francis Cartledge carries her paint pots around for her in his spare time. Clark: Well, I heard that Francis had bought the Mystic River Bridge, and was building another just like it right beside it. Building it himself, of course. He claims you can’t trust laborers. Ann: Say, isn’t Ruth Clancy a telephone operator in New York now? Clark: Yes, but she insists on working at night because she claims that the conversations are much more interesting. Ann: Allegra Cripps is giving flying lessons now in Ipswich. She has her own air field up on her hill. It’s so windy up there, it’s good for flying. Clark: Speaking of flying, I hear Grace Cronin is really flying around the White House these days. She’s secretary to Senator Pretzel. Ann: Well, isn’t that grand for Grace! Here’s a good one. When I was in New York last week-end, 1 bumped into Letitia Day. She’s just as pretty as ever. Her hubby, “Don”, is a Major now. Naturally, Titia s still the General on the homefront, though. Clark: General, huh? You remember when Rich- d Doit graduated, he said he was going to join the Navy. Well, that kid is really going places. Now he is “chief cook and bottle washer” on the Queen Elizabeth. Ann. es, and Phyllis Gauthier is on the same ship nursing the stowaways. Clark: What? Stowaways? Ann: Sure, Janet Gillis is married to the Captain of the boat, so Phyllis can get away with it. Clark: Ann, sometimes I don’t feel that I can believe you. You keep my thoughts just dancing. Dancing. That reminds me. What’s Joey Gnlis doing now ? Clark: Joey’s taken over Arthur Murray’s danc- ing classes. She just made a movie with Fred Astaire a few months ago, too. Ann: That’s grand! Clark : I hear Grace Girard is Editor of the Better blums and Gardens Magazine. Ann . Really ? I heard that Lillian Hawkes has just inherited the United Airlines, and that Gwyneth Gunn is the Head Stewardess on her planes. Claik. T es, and Louise Gwinn is teaching kin- dergarten in Hamilton now, too. Ann: Did you know that Harriet Heard is the Superintendent of the Cable Memorial Hospital. She’s kept busy reading bedtime stories to all of the patients up there. Clark: The other day I was down at the docks and who should be there but Helen Hill! She was waiting for Jackie to dock. You know, if that guy doesn’t quit the service pretty soon, I’m afraid Helen will join the Navy. oo Ann: “Macbeth” opened at the Shubert Friday. James Hill is playing the lead. He’s marvelous in the role — much better than Orson Welles was. Clark: That’s great. I always knew Jim had the makings of a wonderful actor. I hear that Carole Homans is the traveling secretary of the Shubert Theatres, Inc. Ann: You know Kenneth Hood and Jere Hovey are operating a woodworking shop together. They’re famous for their three-legged tables and one-armed chairs. Clark: By the way, here we’ve been talking about everyone else and I haven’t even asked what you’re doing. Ann: Well, aside from managing my home, I do a little modeling. Clark: On the side — that sounds like Evelyn Karalias. She’s a novel writer, you know, besides managing her father’s gas station. Ann: If you ever want a stunning coiffure, Clark, visit “Madame Lucy’s.” Lucy Kisiel is really a fine beautician. Clark: Well, Ida LeBel is my private secretary, so I imagine she would enjoy that tip. Her sister Yvonne visits us once in a while, when she isn t on the road. She’s a traveling “Fuller Brush Girl.” Ann: I hear Lois Lindberg is Town Manager in Ipswich now. They say she’s doing a fine job, too. It ' s about time they got a woman in politics. Clark: Huh! I think women can take over some men’s jobs like refereeing football games as Elaine lltalien is doing, but not politics. Ann: Speaking of athletics, I hear Anne Lom- bard has a job on her hands teaching the boys’ gym classes back at school. I wonder why she doesn’t have the girls’ classes? Clark: I don’t know. Your old girl friend, Barb Manthorne is married to young Vanderbilt, isn’t she? Boy, what a racket! Ann: Racket? You don’t have such a bad one yourself, mister. Is this your business? Clark: Well, naturally I’m in the Civil Service, but it’s a pretty good job, I admit. Ann: Mary Miller has a good one. She’s the private secretary to Judge Barrett in Rowley. Clark: Henry Morgan is still in the Navy. Of course, he’s an Admiral, but it took him ten years to get there. Ann: The University of Massachusetts has a new Dean of Women, you know. Clark: Yes, who? Ann: Why, Mary O’Brien, of course, who else? Clark: Imagine! Evelyn Patterson is still in the Air Corps, isn’t she? I remember how happy she was when she got her wings. Ann: Have you been watching the Pescosolido Crime Investigation lately ? I knew Bill would make something of himself one day. Clark: Do you know how I can get in touch with a good baby nurse? I looked up Rita Poirier, but she’s in charge of the North Shore Babies Hospital, so you can see she’s all tied up. Ann: I should say so. Her cousin, Robert Poirier, is a Test Pilot for jets, isn’t he? I read about his record speed hop from Berlin to Ipswich yesterday in 24 minutes. He’s really making time, isn’t he? Clark: Everyone in our class has made good. Elly Powers succeeded to Mr. Tozer’s job, with his approval, and even rides around in a blue Ford. Ann: Amy Purington was Mistress of Ceremonies of the Women’s Club Minstrel Show the other night. Clark: Kenney Richards was one of the end-men. His family made up the entire chorus, too. All good singers. Ann: Now that Burrett Richardson owns the Red Sox, he’s pretty happy. They say he only bought the team so he wouldn’t have to buy tickets for the games. Clark: He has Elaine Riddle and her family em- ployed at the park selling tickets and things, doesn’t he? Ann: You know that Phil Ross has finally made the first robot man. Now all he does is sit around and let the robot do his work for him. Clark: Well Charlotte Saunders isn’t taking life easy. She’s manager of Quint’s Drug Store and crushes old toothpaste containers for the scrap- drive. Ann: Marlene Sheppard is running a “Dog Catchers’ Catchers’ Union” now. She catches the dog catchers before they catch the dogs. She’s crazy about animals anyway. Clark: I think I heard about that union the other day when I was in the State House. Eleanore Sklarz is Mayor Hynes’ bookkeeper and she was telling me about it. Ann: Gerry Smolla and Stan Strok are cabinet makers now. They do expert work, I hear, but I also hear that their wives can’t even get them to build a shelf in their own homes. Clark: The traveling circus went through town the other day, and guess who I saw? Ann: Who? Clark: Pat Steen! She’s still tying herself in knots. Ann: Oh, how can she? She’s wonderful, though. Pete Somers is her private coach, isn’t he? Of course, in the fall he coaches the Notre Dame Ping- Pong Team. Clark: Isn’t Mary Jo Sullivan the physical edu- cation teacher down at Sylvania now? She has to get the night shift into condition for hard work. Ann: And Maureen Sullivan is a partner to “Big Brother” on television, too. She was going to take “Honey, the Bunny’s” place, but Big Brother made her a better offer. Clark: You know, we never thought Jeanne Todd would leave Mary O’Brien, but she did. She’s Head Waitress at the Mt. Washington Hotel in New Hampshire now. Ann: I read that Sumner Tyler won the East Boston Olympics title in the skiing meet last winter. That guy’s really up in the world, isn’t he? Clark: Well, up and down you might say. Is it true that Sara Wallis is the President of Essex Aggies now ? She got that title through being the fastest needle-threader in the county. Ann: Did you know that Dave Wilson is an en- gineer on the B. M. ? Clark: But I thought Dave wanted to be an elec- trical engineer! Ann: Yes, he did, but in the summer of ’51, when he worked on the railroad, he shovelled coal so fast that they immediately promoted him to engineer. Clark (looks at his watch and says): Hey, do you realize that we’ve been talking for over an hour ? Ann: No! Gee, I’ve got to buzz. See you later, Clark! Clark: Drop in again, Ann, when you have more time. Maybe we could get together and reminisce about our old school mates. Ann: Heavens no! I could never remember them all. (She exits.) 23 GIFTS TO GIRLS SCENE: A small gift shop. CHARACTERS: Charles Bolles and David Wilson. Dave. Charlie, this is the place I was telling you about. It has everything! Charlie. I hope so. We ought to be able to pick up something for the girls here. Let’s hurry in and look around. Dave. Boy, there are certainly some odd objects in here. Take a gander at these six-guns. I bet Margie Belanger could surely use them to shoot it out with the “Grimes Boys.” Charlie. Kay Billings could use this map of the world to locate her many friends around the globe. Dave. Good idea, Charlie. How about this spade for Irene Boudreau, who wants to live and work on a farm. Charlie. Here’s something one of the girls might use. Now, let’s see, who was our class artist, Dave? Dave. Wasn’t it Florence Campbell ? Charlie. That’s right, too. Well, I’m sure this paint can will be welcome. Dave. This shoe leather should serve Ruthie Clancy, who wears out plenty on the dance floor. Charlie. Allegra Cripps already flies and drives. Now she can sail. (Boat.) Dave. Well, what do you know? A spool of Brown thread for Letitia Day to keep things sewed up. Charlie. Look at these paper plates. It’s a cinch Phyllis Gauthier and Grade Cronin would like some that don’t have to be washed! Dave. These roosters are just the thing to wake Janet Gillis and Lois Lindberg up in the morning. Charlie. No doubt Josephine Gillis could use some capital to open her dancing studio next fall. Dave. Our class boyologist, Gwyneth Gunn, can use these dates for those week nights when the men are not around. Charlie. Since Marlene Sheppard and Grace Girard like horses, a horse shoe for each should please them and bring them luck. Dave. Louise Gwinn can p ut this fishing pole to good use and keep Donnie on the hook. Charlie. Since Lillian Hawkes’ car is always hav- ing the fenders repaired, I think this new fender would be appreciated! Dave. Say, this hair dye is just the thing for Harriet Heard to disguise her boy friend’s bright red hair. Charlie. I heard Ann Hull’s Jackie is now helping Uncle Sam out, so this calendar ought to help her keep track of the days until he returns. Dave. I’m sure Helen Hill can put this quill to good use in writing to Jack every day. Charlie. For those lonely Sundays when Steve is on the fairway, Carole Homans could use this golf club to learn the game, too! Dave. Charlie! This ice bag will help Evelyn Karalias to cool off after hot arguments. Charlie. How about these wings for Lucy Kisiel vvho is partial to the Air Force? Dave. This car polish could certainly be used by Ida LeBel to keep that new graduation present in good condition. Charlie. Yvonne, her sister, doesn’t have her car yet, but this bicycle ought to help her for the time being. Dave. For Elaine L’ltalien, a dance instruction book which will help her keep up with Manuel’s latest steps. Charlie. Boy! Anne Lombard could use this truck. Her own car is too small to seat her many friends. Dave. Mary Miller will appreciate this record of “Danny Boy” to console her on those lonely eve- nings. Charlie. Barbara Manthorne and Elaine Riddle need these vitamin pills to build up their health. Dave. Here is a picture of I.H.S. I think Mary O’Brien would like it to remind her of the many hours she spent here working overtime. Charlie. Evlyn Patterson could use this mirror to keep her eye on her large following. Dave. Good idea, Charlie. Say, if Eleanore Sklarz ever ran out of laughter, this joke book will replen- ish her supply. Charlie. Eleanor Powers can use this dog leash to keep Summie in tow. Dave. For our class saint, Amy Purington, this bottle of “Halo” shampoo. Charlie. I hear Charlotte Saunders wants to be a pharmacist. This Latin book should help her decipher the prescriptions. Dave. This megaphone is for Rita Poirier to make herself heard more easily. Charlie. Patricia Steen could use this dumb-bell to assist her in completing her Charles Atlas course. Dave. Maureen Sullivan is an ardent sailor. This yacht will insure smooth sailing for Jerry and her. Charlie. Mary Jo Sullivan, high scorer for the girls’ basketball team, could use this pad and pencil to add up the many points she has scored for I.H.S. Dave. This needle and thread Sarah Wallis can find a use for in her favorite pastime — sewing. Charlie. Here’s a report card with a red “F” on it to give Jeanne Todd a new experience. Dave. Well, we seem to have bought out the place! Charlie. Yes, let’s hurry and get out of here before they raise the prices. 24 GIFTS TO BOVS By MARY MILLER The other day it came to my mind That soon I’d be leaving my classmates behind, So I stopped in the dime store and bought some toys As parting gifts to our senior boys. Bollesy is undecided just what he will do, Bjt whatever he plans for his whole life through A doctor, a lawyer, or a journalist with the press This ladder should help him climb to success. John Burns towards women is not very nice So I’ll give him these matches to thaw out the ice; And perhaps on some stormy, cold winter night, They can keep him warm or give him a light. This STOP sign for Buddy who drives very fast The slower he goes, the longer he’ll last. If he only stops when he sees this sign, Our lives will be safer, both voui’s and mine. Butch Dort, you want to sail the ocean blue. Here’s a sample of what’s in store for you This little mop you can push all around, And keep the deck spotless as you scrub up and down. Since Jimmy Hill lives far away And has to travel far each day. This little bicycle should suit him well, And help him to arrive before the bell. At parties, Kenney ready enhances With his fancy steps and all his dances. This blue ribbon is his; now I hope we’ll see more Of his rhythmic steps on the ballroom floor. Being a clown in my estimation Is Jere Hovey’s reputation I hope this jokebook will make him so bright, He’ll keep everyone laughing from morning ’til night. To Clark McCarthy, a fan of T. V. I give this miniature Model T So he can date his favorite star, The ever-popular Dagmar. To Henry Morgan, I’ll give a parachute To carry on his airplane route; If he grows tired of flying around, He can jump right out over his own home town. Since Pesky’s acting was such a sensation, Hollywood should be his destination; This one ticket will get him there Let’s hope an “Oscar” will be his share. Robert Poirier is a studious lad. And the quietest the class has had. This little whistle makes a terrific sound, But at least we’ll hear it and know he’s around. Kenny is fond of manual toil We trust his ambition will never spoil; Maybe these tools will fill a desire And steer this ambition higher and higher. To “Birdie” Richardson, this little chair; When the theater’s full, he’ll have a spare; And so in the future we shall always know He has a permanent seat in the very front row. To “Dilly” Ross we owe great esteem For his courageous work on the football team. But if in the future he’s found lying on the field, Don’t worry, he’ll have this useful Blue Shield. When Jerry on some Saturday night Serenades Maureen in the pale moonlight This ukulele of fine selection, Should make her regard him with affection. Since Peter Somers, our class wolf, has a girl in every town. I’ll give him this engagement ring in hopes he’ll settle down; You never can tell what this ring will start; Some lucky girl may win his heart. Stanley Strok travels far and wide, And if some night he’s out of a ride, I’ll give him this little portable tent To take to Beverly where his time is spent. Sumner Tyler, here’s a canoe, An appropriate gift for Elly and you; But when you take her out for a ride, Remember the rules and look out for the tide. In politics David has all of us beat. And in Congress one day he’ll have a seat, They’ll promote him to judge as quick as can be This gavel will help him keep order you see. Now that my gifts are all given away, There’s one more thing I’d like to say “So long to the boys of ’51 And best of luck to everyone.” 25 class Will CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the graduating class of 1951 of Ipswich High School in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills and testaments by us at anytime heretofore made.

We had good football and basketball teams, and the baseball team at this date, May 10, gives hope of another league championship. Last fall we had a football team that performed far better than its record would indicate. We had a fine coach and a real friend in Bob Burke who, unfortunately, was called into the armed forces in December. Newburyport, Lynn Vocational, Stone- ham, Punchard, Ayer, and Dracut were all the games that were played well enough to have been won but, win or lose, they were all real football games and everyone who watched the boys knew that there was a fighting team on the field! Our first game was also another first — ■ it was the first night game for the Tigers, and it was a wonderful experience for the team and a great game for the spectators. The townspeople really showed their interest in the team when several hundred braved the chilly and wet weather and gave the team great moral support, which produced the well-earned victory over Ayer. In December, Coach Roundy took over for the absent Soldier Burke, and the Tigers entered an even better season of sport. The Orange and Black led off against Georgetown in December and showed promise of another great team as they featured a fine shooting game that was bolstered by a tough defense and a fast passing attack. We met some of the best teams in the region and, although we defeated some, a few were really fine basketball teams (notably Punchard), and these were the only clubs that could defeat us. The team was a little inconsistent, however, and played some rather poor games. We looked bad in spots but usually got together to win convincingly. As a whole, the mem- bers of the team played well together and merited the praise of the school for their fine work. When spring arrived, the thoughts of the girls turned to flowers and proms and those of the boys to beach parties and baseball. There are many veterans back to make this year’s baseball team a very strong one. The pitching is capable and ex- perienced, the defensive play is tight, and the hitting is good but a little weak in crucial moments. The boys have been out practicing since the April vaca- tion and are all in good form. In three games the pitching has been excellent, but the hitting has been below par. Coach Roundy has a large squad of freshmen and sophomores out, a condition which shows promise for the future. Since most of the football team, three of the basketball team, and many of the baseball team will return next year, there is a good chance that they will have an even better year than we had.

The intramural sports included archery, badmin- ton, and softball. These helped to supply honor awards for many students. In the physical training classes there was instruc- tion in gymnastics and military marching, dancing, volleyball, exercise and apparatus work. The big sport of the year was basketball, which was a great success to both the senior and junior ‘ varsity”. The first team won three-fourths of their games, and the second team won every game.
