ELLIOTT ROUNDY Although Mr. Roundy came to us only a little more than a year ago, he has become a favorite with everyone. His cheerful attitude and friendly manner have gained him the respect and admira- tion of students and faculty alike. In addition he has shown exceptional ability as a coach, for he guided our 1951 football squad to its most successful season in many years. We cannot neglect to mention his prowess in directing our baseball and basketball teams to the Cape Ann championship and his skill as a referee. To this likeable person and hard-working teacher, we, the Class of 1952 say, “Thank you for being such a sincere friend,” and proudly dedicate our yearbook. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Mary Chadbourne (Secretary), William Markos (President), Marilyn Gunn (Treas- urer), George Tsoutsouris (Vice-President).

Charlie has made many friends during his stay at I.H.S., and we know he’ll make many more in the future. Charlie’s performance on the athletic field this past year has been outstanding. We know that all through life Charlie will always be a typically jovial guy. His ambition is to become a Marine. Good luck, Charlie, we know you’ll be a big success.

Sandra Abbott “Quiet, modest, and sweet A combination you just can’t beat.” “Sandy”, although she appears to be bashful, displays a pleasing personality peppered with wit. This trim chick is very fashionwise and is one of our best dressed girls. Her future path as a secretary will be easily paved, for she is a steadfast worker.

Tberon Ames “Our loss is someone else’s gain” “Terry” is quiet and dependable and beasts many friends. We are certain that his success will be grati- fying and brilliant. We wish you all the luck in the world, “Terry,” and when you become an Admiral in. the Navy, remember us. Senior Committee 4 ; Class Celebrity. Conrad Arsenault “Silence is golden” “Connie,” who always seems so shy is really likeable in nature. He cuts quite a figure at all the school dances with his fast stepping jitterbug. He is a very capable fellow and we know he will be successful. Good luck to you, “Connie!” Senior Committee. 5 Eleanor Bernard “Her eyes like stars of twilight fair Like twilight, tco, her dusky hair.” Eleanor’s happy smile grows brighter every day, and her twinkling eyes sparkle all the more, (if possible), if you happen to mention “Barry”. Although she doesn’t say too much about herself, we know that she is a capable miss, and throughout all her activities one is impressed by her good sportsmanship. Glee Club 1, 2; Social Committee 4; Cub Typist 4. Mary Bobola “Make the most of each moment Life is just a passing thought.” Mary is rarely heard around school, for she is very quiet. Her sweet smile, however, has won her many friends who can vouch for her pleasant manner and loyalty. Whatever her ambitions are, we are sure that she will succeed in them. Girls’ Choir 1, 2; Reception Committee 4. George Bouchard “Life is what you make it.” George, an outstanding student, has shown brilliance in his school woi’k. He has done a great deal for our class and school as Business Manager of the Cub and Tiger. His main interest is in the field of engineering, which he is seriously thinking of entering after leaving 1. H. S. The best of luck in your chosen career, Gecrge !

Her neatness and mild temper will surely aid her as a first class nurse.

Frederic Casali “If gay attire delight thine eye I’ll dight me in array” When Freddy, our riotous funny man of the mechanical drawing class, comes into the room, we all look for- ward to a happy time. Freddy is a progressive lad, w’ho always sees the bright side of life. He has enter- tained us during first period with his tall tales about the “Civil War” and his thrilling games of hockey. We shall always remember his ready smile when things looked dull and sad. Here’s the best of luck to a happy fellow, who’ll achieve whatever he sets out to.

David Caverly “To know him is a liberal education.” “Farmer’s” quick wit and uncontrollable smile have made him one of the most popular fellows in school. He surely will become a success in whatever he at- tempts, because he has the faculty cf making a good impression and then improving upon it. “Farmer’s” stay made us happy, and his leaving brought us sad- ness, but the class had the consolation of knowing that he will succeed and that his future will be bright.

A worker, with a well-rounded schedule, she always manages to find time to spend with “Johnnie”, her one and only.

Roland Chapman “Cunning is the dwarf of wisdom” Tart has a quiet, mild manner w’hich has made him very popular in our famed “temple of learning”. We feel sure that as the years roll by, “Roily” will prove to us that the little courtesies rendered prove of value in the world. Senior Committee. Loretta Chmura “A quiet mind, a quiet heart.” Loretta’s quiet charan and inner poise are assets to be well envied. We don’t see too much of Loretta around school, for her time is spent either at the movies or in Newburyport. We hope that her ambition as a secretary is realized soon, and we wish her the best of luck in this career. Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 4; Social Committee 4. Jacquelyn Clancy “Silence is of different kinds And breathes different meanings.” “Jacie’s” special hobbies seem to be taking care of children and talking with “Cis” and “Tootie”. Her cheerful outlook on life is reflected in her bright smile, and her many friends can attest to the fact that she has a delightful sense of humor. We wish her luck in whatever she may choose to do in the future.

Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Senior Commit- tee; Junior Prom Committee 3. Lorraine Clements “A cheery face finds cheery friends.” Perhaps the fact that Lorraine doesn’t talk much and maintains a cheery outlook accounts for her many friends. Her experience in the cafeteria should be good preparation for homemaking in the future. Glee Club 1; Basketball 1, 2; Archery 1; Cafeteria 3, 4; Cap and Gown Committee. Gordon Como “It is better to be nobly remembered. Than nobly born.” “Gordie” is a friendly chap, who has often been heard singing during gym period. During the four years that he has been with us he hasn’t once lost his temper, and that’s some record. In fact, he could give Dale Car- negie a few pointers on how to win friends and influ- ence people. Anyone with merits like these can’t help but be a success. Football 3, 4 ; Letter 3, 4 ; Senior Committee. Edith Cunningham “Where she met a stranger, there she left a friend.” Vivacious and carefree. Edith has a winning smile and personality. Always bubbling, she has managed to find time to cheer at games, study, and keep her social life well balanced. Edith plans to enter nursing.

Bright, lively, and witty, she can keep an audience spellbound with her many stcries. A cheery “hello” for her friends and a special way with the boys make Elaine a v ell-loved classmate.

David Ellsworth “A wandering, A wandering Until the day I die.” Tall, blonde, and good-looking, “Runt” is a happy-go- lucky fellow who hasn’t a care in the world. Runt, who was a strong nominee for class athlete, achieved a great success in the senior play. To you, we say, “Well done.” He claims that he has no interest in the fair sex, but we have had our spies on the job. Runt’s smile and pleasing personality combined with his real ability are bound to help him on the road to success.

J.” is a decided asset to the cheerleading squad. Her gay laughter and light-hearted manner make her welcome anywhere. We wish her much hap- piness in the years ahead.

Her versatility is also shown in her skill on the basketball coui-t. Her leisure hours are often spent with “Dyna.” Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 3, 4; Operetta 2, 3; Talent i;how 3; Softball 1, 2; Archery 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Letter 4; Cub Staff 1, 2, 4: Tiger Staff 4; Cheerlead- er 1, 2, 3, 4; Head Cheerleader 4; Honor Award 2, 3, 4; French Club 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Cap and Gown Committee 4 ; Class Day Part 4. Richard Gauthier “A word unspoken is an argument saved.” Richard is the quietest person in the class. Even though he isolated himself from the rest of us, his good class work and regular attendance more than made up for his quietness. With his friendly attitude, Richard has made friends with a’l who have come in contact with him. So long, Richard, and the best of luck. Senior Committee. Harriet Georgakopoulos “A merry smile, a sparkling tongue Will keep a girl forever young.” Harriet has proved that living on the outskirts of town has its advantages. Anyone passing her home during the summer or fall can see her at her stand selling fruits and vegetables from the family farm. She has experimented with many trades during her school years, and we all wish her success in whatever she plans. Glee Club 1, 2; Choir 4; Cafeteria 3, 4; C ' ass Day Committee. Natalie Glines “It is not enough to do good; One must do it in the right way.” “Nat,” one of our Rowley students, has a contagious smile and a pleasing disposition.

His pleasant smile and jovial manner will take him far up the ladder cf success. Skip’s ambition is ro be a cartoonist, and judging by his ' samples, we prophesv he’ll be a successful one. Skip has made many friends by being friendly himself. His jokes in chemistry will never be forgotten by those who have enjoyed them. Best of luck. Skip.

Marilyn Gunn “There is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent, and sincere earnestness.” There are so many things one cou’d say about “Gunna” — her ability as a leader, her love of sports, her culin- ary talent, and her astounding “all A” report cards. A hard and earnest worker, she a’so finds time to keep up her social life — chatting with “Jo” or dating “Slugger”. Her success is assured wherever she goes.

We all admire her beautiful clothes, which she wears exceedingly well. Her sweet ways and calm manner will be assets in her career cf nursing. Opei’etta 3 ; Choir 3, 4 ; Basketball 3 ; Picture Com- mittee. Dorothy Jewett “From day to day, I go my way.” “Dot” is a quiet, unassuming person, but her many friends inform us that she also has a merry laugh and a pleasant sense of humor. Her talents in sew- ing shouldn’t go unmentioned either, nor her talent for making friends with the male population in nu- merous towns. Good luck. Dotty, in whatever you do.

Neil Jodoin “The heavenly stars appear, showing the world there is nothing to fear.” Neil has a beaming smile well known to all the students cf I. H. S. The orchestra and band will miss him next year, for Neil’s ability as a drummer is unquestion- able. It is rather hard to foTow his affairs with the fair sex, for just when we think it’s all settled, along comes the next one. We all join in wishing him a very happy and prosperous future.

His name has graced the honor roll on many occasions, and with his ability he is bound to succeed in whatever he un- dertakes. In the past, Bill has won many friends, .and we know he’ll win many more in the future. Bill has made an impression cn his classmates that will never be erased. Good luck. Bill.

Although he did not play football this year, his ability as a top-notch football player was shown in previous years. Sammy may often be seen and heard sharing a joke with the fellows, and no matter what he does, he always enjoys himself immensely. A wonderful guy with a pleasing personalitv is Sam, and we know that he will succeed. Good luck, Sam.

GRaDuaTion Essays 4 Security £ives dn he d eart By MARILYN GUNN Throughout the course of a day we are bound to hear the word “security” used in one form or an- other. It may be as “social security”, economic security, or in numerous other phrases. Every citi- zen is famil’.ar with these uses of the word, but each one has a different idea as to its meaning. The dictionary says, “Freedom from fear, anxiety, or care; confidence of power or safety.” People of different backgrounds have widely varied ideas; similarly, security to people in successive stages of life will vary according to age. The child, in order to feel secure, needs a comfortable, happy home, and the assurance that he is wanted. The adolescent, or modern teen-ager, wants food, shelter, and clothes, understanding parents, and popularity among others of his own age. The man of today wants a steady income, recognition in his field of work, and a closely-knit family. Of course all of these are highly desirable for material security. To add to them we need the material assistance of an adequate supply of money, well-enforced law ' s, and the feeling of power that stems from strong military protection. Yes, these factors give us, “confidence of power or safety,” and should be the goal of a free, well-organized society for the majority of its members. We should not, however, limit ourselves to material things alone, for important though they may be, they can be destroyed overnight. What we need is a vital spiritual security that makes us feel peace and contentment in our hearts and equanimity in the face of any eventuality. Such a feeling can come only from an inner strength. There are certain 19 necessary ingredients that must be skillfully blend ed to produce this strength within us. In the first place, a sound character and a trained mind are indispensable. They have value in any time, place, or situation. These necessary ingredi- ents can be developed not only by formal education, but by experience and self-discipline as well. With the feeling of self confidence that results from the possession of these traits, we cannot help but gain an inner security. Then we must consider freedom, a spiritual free- dom, which means not doing what we like, but rather knowing and wanting to do what is right. A free man is one who has severed from his heart the bonds of ignorance, cowardice, intemperance, stupidity, and selfishness. He is prepared to face any threat that comes, for he feels secure from worldly evil. In the words of Robert M. Hutchins, “A man has personal freedom if he wills the good and knows the truth.” Another important element in real security is faith — a faith that strengthens our belief in God, for we must remember it is He who has placed us in a land where rights are respected. It is He who gave us the glorious heritage that is ours. This country was founded by God-fearing men upon the Christian principles of right, justice, and moral- ity, and o.ilv as material aims are subordinated to moral principles can we as a people and as indi- viduals expect to prosper and remain truly secure. But along with this faith in God we must have confidence in ourselves as individuals. There is untold satisfaction in doing things independently with the knowledge that we are correct in our judge- ments. Who could better illustrate this type of spirit than the pioneers who struggled to open up an unknown land? We would do well to follow their example and believe in ourselves and in the destiny of mankind. If we believe that we need not depend on government to solve our problems. What ds By GEORGE BOUCHARD Whenever anybody talks with me about my future as a high school or college graduate, he always adds the warning, “Be sure to like your job or you will never be happy.” Usually the argument for happiness assumes great importance in the conver- sation — so much so that I began to wonder. What to me is happiness and how can I attain it? How worthy a goal is it? Can anybody be fooled by a wu’ong idea of happiness ? Happiness means to me a lasting contented feeling which could come from security or from being at peace wdth oneself and the rest of the world. It is the feeling, not the word used to des- cribe it, which is important to me. In wrong doing many people get a sensation which they mistake for pleasure. It may be the thrill of stealing for the first time in defiance of one’s superiors or it may be the feeling sensed in reve ige for some true or imaginary wrong done to them. Some people, but very few, may have an almost rational reason for committing a crime. If a person is starving or freezing, as a few were during the last depression, he may steal out of necessity, but he gets no sensation except disgust from his act. People who drift into crime usually start out with a false idea of pleasure and try to gain it by committing small crimes for the thrill. Then as their consciences become hardened, they graduate to larger misdeeds to get their so-called “fun.” Finally w’hen they do realize how wrong our security in such troubled times as these would immeasurably increase. Finally let me present the idea of independent living as an aid to my kind of security. I realize that today there are many obstacles which prevent us from getting as much out of life as we would like. If we could only put aside for a time the television set, the movie screen, the radio, and the local gathering place, all innocuous enough in themselves and even educational tools when dis- criminately used, we would see how much time is consumed in inferior pursuits, and we would have more time to improve ourselves with reading, with study of the arts, or with a closer relationship with Nature. The ability thus to entertain our- selves and to enrich our lives through our own efforts without be.iefit of outside agency would fur- ther develop the independence that would make us more secure. Perhaps the best example of inde- pendent living is that of Henry David Thoreau. The years he spent living alone in the peaceful woods of Walden showed him the beauties of a simple life, free from the struggles of possession and loss. Though he tried this life only as an ex- periment, he returned to his village life wiser, happier, and more secure in his possession of the indestructible things in life. In addition to these prominent factors, we can increase our spiritual strength by expanding our powers; that is, by increasing our moral courage, overcoming difficulties, being tolerant, sympathetic, and understanding. To a world in such a state as ours spiritual se- curity is not only desirable; it is essential, for only by feeling content and secure will the people of the w ' orld reject the power that is threatening universal peace. We stand challenged by an aggressor that must be fought with mind and heart as well as with bombs. It is time that we raised our spiritual security to the heights we enjoy materially. It is up to us to bring spiritual as well as material leadership to a waiting and troubled world. happiness? they have been, it is too late. Thus it is with drug addicts and drunkards, for it is evident they did not deliberately plan to become this type of person. Some people derive a pleasure from thinking only of themselves. They usually develop into such self-centered individuals because of outside influ- ences in their youth which have made them feel important. Soon they begin to believe that they are always right and retreat into a shell of smug satis- faction. They think they are happy and never enter into other people’s affairs unless it is to deride the other person’s efforts and ideas. They do not realize that they are living in a bubble of their imagination until somebody breaks this bubble for them. Then they are lost. They do not even have a purpose for living and all their fun has been taken from them. So it is with all false happiness. There are many harmless pleasures which, al- though they have no serious purpose, are necessary to balance one’s life. These pleasures are harmless only when care is exercised in their use. While most practical jokes are harmless, for instance, there are many instances where they have caused bodily harm and even death. These jokes were not maliciously planned but were intended for good fun. Sports and recreation, if allowed to monopolize one’s life, would fall into this category. When a person loses his sense of proportion and participates in sports more for the sake of beating the other fel- low than for the enjoyment derived from a sense of achievement and from team work, the activity 20 defeats its purpose of recreating body and mind. projecting oneself outward to others. A spirit of People also get pleasure from cultural pursuits. mutual helpfulness is much more productive of Music, literature, and other forms of art are in- happiness than any amount of self-seeking.

Those who truly appreciate art try to get the man aims above happiness to a higher goal, taking idea which the artist was attempting to portray the bitter with the sweet in his stride, and making when he created the piece. There is a pleasure in this earth a better place on which to live. How seeing and feeling the true meaning of another could we even recognize happiness were it not for man’s work, for in this way one is teaming up with sorrow and disappointment? True happiness is him and striving to attain a goal of mutual one of the most desirable possessions in life, and it understanding. is well worth the sacrifice of some of the mock True happiness, though not so daring as some pleasures which border too precariously on disas- of the false notions, is much more permanent and ter.

College By WILLIAM MARKOS College athletics are sick, and just as a sickness spreads over the body of a human being, so have commercialism and professionalism spread to each limb of college athletics. First football was afflicted, then basketball, and now, before the illness spreads all over the body, it must be checked and cured! Many reasons have been offered to explain the plight of the athletic systems. The most important reason, as in so many other causes for trouble, is the almighty dollar. Educators have lost sight of their goal and are caught in a vicious circle. Coaches and alumni groups worry because their alma mater is taking her beatings. They put on the pressure and go about recruiting athletes with attractive scholarships and “on the side’’ payments. The ath- lete’s marks are altered, and he quickly finds out that even college presidents can compromise. Is it any wonder that with practice taking so much of his time and with this deceitful beginning he has to cram and finally cheat on hi s exams? He also is given such tough courses as interior decorating and American folk-dancing. Finally a good team is developed and the cycle begins. Crowds pour in, the sacred pile gets higher and higher, a new stadium is built, to fill it a better team is bought, and soon the play approaches tech- nical perfection. The players are almost like pro- fessionals; in fact, a year or so ago the college all-stars trounced professional football’s world champions in a post-season game. Do not think, however, that only football is in- volved. Colleges that can’t afford a football team buy basketball teams. This sports bubble has ex- panded and expanded, and now it is about to burst. Let us diagnose the patient and see if we can get to the root of the trouble. We ask, “Should athletes be given special privileges?’’ One school of thought immediately exclaims “Yes, why not?’’ After all, athletic talent, like any other, should be rewarded. Besides, the scholarships en- able poor boys to go to college, and these athletes are often training for a coaching or physical educa- tion career. Furthermore, big time football builds up school spirit and keeps alumni interested as well as supporting minor sports. The other school of thought answers with a loud “No!’’ The first job of a college is giving an educa- tion and scholarships should be given for scholastic ability. They say that the proper aim of sports is group participation, not just the build-up of a few specially trained experts. Another argument of- thletics fered is that overemphasis is hurting the game and lowering moral standards. We now have encountered a new question. Should athletes be paid legally ? Recently a court ruled that the University of Denver must pay one of its injured players thirteen dollars weekly as unemploy- ment pay. What if all these semi-professional and professional college players should organize and demand adequate wages? Just think w’hat a good union could get for them. It would throw the rest of the world in an uproar, and it isn’t as impossible as it sounds. It can be done! If universities would accept the morality of the just wage, students would probably adopt the doctrine of honest work for fair pay. I would like to illustrate by a few case histories just what is happening in some of the extreme cases. Take that of Allen Jackson, a star guard at the University of Michigan. There, Jackson says, there are two mottoes — “If Michigan loses, some- one has to pay,’’ and “Move the ball or move the body.’’ The latter applies to a situation when a poor scrub is lying unconscious on the practice field. Jackson also says that injuries do not excuse a player from a game, and that studies definitely come second. In fact, in his four years, Jackson spent 810 hours in classes and 1351 hours on the football field. Another interesting case is that of Alvin Beale. Kansas State bought Beale after seeing him perform in a junior college game. Kansas State College paid the $800 balance on his car and sent him to summer school. He also received $200 monthly and a $90 a month apartment. Beale then turned and enrolled at Texas University. The case was kept quiet until irate Texans screamed that Beale had left to join the Navy. His coach maintained he was a good boy but a victim of commercialized sports with a market value. On the other hand there ai ' e stars, like Johnny Bright of Drake University, who have benefited from commercialized sports. Bright says, “Foot- ball has been good to me; I never would have re- ceived a college education without it.” We all heard about the scandals at West Point and William and Mary College. West Point just found it hard to take care of its semi-pros because it had no snap courses. At William and Mary just the opposite was true. The college lowered its ad- mission requirements, gave athletic scholarships, and offered easy courses. The situation became so bad that the athletes received hardly any education at all. Finally the scandal broke, and the head coach, “Rube” McCray, and President Pomfret re- 21 signed. The College is now back on its feet and is pursuing a sane athletic program. Let us now look at some of the scholarships and breaks given to athletes by some of our universities. Ohio State gives 150 jobs paying up to $100 monthly for fifteen hours of work per week. Southern Methodist gives 154 straight athletic scholarships and 140 academic scholarships. Bradley star ath- letes get credits for very weird subjects — handball, social and square dancing, first aid, and elernentary swimming, to mention a few. At the University of Pennsylvania, state legislators, with eyes for athletes, make 675 scholarship nominations yearly. However, we must realize that these cases are the exceptions, not the rule. Most colleges pursue good healthy athletic programs. New England colleges especially have fine athletic systems. Princeton has proved that good football can be played without overemphasis. In fact, Dick Kazmaier, the great all-American, lost his $300 scholarship because his marks fell off .2 of a point. Princeton, Harvard and Yale do not give athletic scholarships, and practice is limited; studies must come first, and more boys get a chance to play. Another good system is that of Boston College where practice is only seven to nine hours weekly and spring practice is limited to four weeks, though many say that spring prac- tice should be abolished completely. As I stated before, most colleges pursue sane and healthv programs, but since one rotten apple must be removed because it will gradually spoil a bushel of good ones, the harmful programs must be checked. Individual colleges have begun to check their own systems and many organizations are passing rules to check and kill this unhealthy growth. Kentucky has announced that it will stop all out of state recruiting of football players and instead will look for Kentucky high school players. This may not solve the problem, but it is a step in the right direction. The American Council on Education has proposed banning all postseason bowl games, barr- ing freshmen from the varsity, and eliminating all athletic scholarships. The National Collegiate Ath- letic Association voted to allow bowl games for another year but limited out-of-season practice to thirty days and voted to continue to limit the tele- vising of games. Ihis latter move will cost Notre Dame and Pennsylvania one half million dollars. The Pacific Coast Conference adopted an honor system for policing subsidization — the men put on their honor were the college presidents. The Big Seven Conference voted to ban bowl games as did the Southern Conference, which suspended Mary- land and Clemson for accepting bowl bids. The only trouble with this is that if we get too many black sheep, then the rules are worthless. We must also remember that problems of subsidizing exist in conferences that never play postseason games. An- other setback came when Southeast Conference officials told the college presidents to stick to their educational knitting. Every reform movement, however, meets obstacles. It will just take a little time to overcome them. The reform will take place; we must give it time. I am not sanguine enough to believe athletics will ever be cleaned up com- pletely; things seldom are. But there will be im- provement that will lift this sick athletic program to its feet and mend its wounds. We know that a broken leg will not become absolutely perfect, but it can become strong and healthy again, just as we hope our college athletics will become strong and healthy once more and take their proper place in the educational program. CtdSS HlSTOKy By MARY CHADBOURNE Our high school life began one early morning in September, 1948. As eighth-graders, we had learned the schedules and had accustomed ourselves to the Study Hall seats, and had learned to stay away fj’om Mrs. Lord’s diligent eye. Now we faced the pros- pect of being freshmen — those lowly under-grad- uates. However, our year was brightened an d our numbers increased by many Rowley students and also by some from the parochial school. “Slugger” Burke was a decidedly attractive ad- dition, and most of the girls had a crush on him at one time or another. We settled down to more serious business at our first class meeting when we voted Bill Markos, presi- dent; “Choot”, vice-president; Marilyn Gunn, treas- urer; and myself, secretary. It was during this year that we discovered that parties were fun, and practically every week either Muriel or Sally gave one. And many boys woke up to the fact that girls were fun too. Bill Markos and “Choot” heading the list. We eagerly participated in the many school ac- tivities — football games, plays, and dances. Early in the fall, the coach recognized the athletic possi- bilities of several of our boys, among them Gordie MacIntyre, Paul Jean, Bill Markos, “Choot”, and George Bouchard . These boys later greatly helped our football team during their stay at school and fulfilled their early promise. At last came the day of the freshman dance — a St. Patrick’s Dance. Irene Smolenski’s artistic talent came to our rescue in the form of attractive posters, while Pat Sullivan displayed her versatility in cutting out decorations. Our dance was enjoyed by everyone, especially after we persuaded the bashful boys to dance, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. During June we began looking forward to our sophomore year, second year Latin, and geometry. A few of our classmates had left us during the year — Andrew Pappamahiel, petite Mary Ann Emerson, and vivacious Anne Peabody among them. During our busy sophomore year our officers were Bill Markos, president; “Choot”, vice-president; Elaine Eliopoulos, treasurer; I, secretary. This year we decided to put on for an assembly program, a one-act play called “The Teeth of the Gift Horse”. Oh, the plot and acting were fine; to the audience, however, it was like watching an old-fashioned moving-picture — no sound. Anyway, it was fun putting it on. One thing we positively learned — Bill Markos didn’t live in a house, but in Grand Central Station, or so his English compositions stated. And we also learned that Gage’s talent for writing was very clever and witty. A Latin Club was formed and with Mrs. Lord as its adviser, we found that Latin could be fun, but also dangerous when we raced up and down the corridor in stocking feet with two legs tied to- gether. Gage Whittier was an invaluable member 22 of this club, with his many jokes and pranks en- livening the dull moments. Our class lovers, “Gunna ” and “Slugger”, formed our first two-some. A nice match, wouldn’t you say ? The end of ’49 was quite busy with our Valentine’s Dance and selection of class rings. We broke the tradition of having “Tiger” rings and approved of a simple ring with an “I” inscribed on it. Several girls, I noticed, ordered rings a few sizes too big for their fingers. A little romance, perhaps? Our junior year was also busy. We again chose Bill Markos as president; “Choot”, vice-president; Marilyn Gunn as treasurer; and myself as secretary. Apparently liking the way these officers handled their affairs, the class also elected them to the same offices in our senior year. Our class rings finally arrived after what seemed like months of waiting, and we proudly showed them off to everyone. Gordie MacIntyre and Paul Jean left us this year for a career in the army, and many sighs from the female portion of Ipswich High followed them. Talented Pat Sullivan also left us to attend school in Newburyport, but her empty seat was quickly filled by Fred Manzer, whom several people had remembered from grade-school days. An operetta, under the direction of Mr. Tozer, was presented. We were quite proud of the fact that several juniors took part in this successful presentation, and it prophesied a bright future in the singing world for Charlie Abbott, who was one of the principal characters in the play. Although we had a very successful Christmas Dance, the big event of our social life was, of course, the Junior Prom. With stars in our eyes we cut out, pasted, and arranged a spring garden scene on the walls of the gym. Outside of David Caverly’s get- ting stuck on the top of the basketball baskets, and Skippy Graffum drawing crossed-eyes on the rab- bits, the Decorating Committee was pretty success- ful in transforming the gym into a fairy-land. The most exciting event of the dance was the Grand March, when the class formed a large “52” on the gymnasium floor. All in all, it was a grand and glorious evening, a fitting climax to our junior year. Feeling very important, we proudly entered Study Hall and took our seats at the beginning of our senior year. We soon got used to being first in line for cafeteria and sitting down front in assemblies, but we haven’t yet learned to pick up papers under our desks, as Gage Whittier and David Perley can testify. Our barn dance, sponsored by the Boosters’ Club, was largely attended and greatly enjoyed. The Refreshment Committee hid doughnuts in the steam kettle and drank enormous amounts of apple cider, but otherwise it was a quiet evening. We also had the traditional Senior Day, got a little over-ambi- tious, and ran through the corridors of the school gaily singing Christmas carols, and promptly got a good dressing-down, which we undoubtedly de- served. Class meetings became more and more interest- ing: we voted for class colors (maroon and silver), navy blue caps and gowns, “Tiger”, class pictures, and a senior play. This play, “Seven Keys to Baldpate”, was successful, and everyone agreed that every actor was in character. In spite of the fact that there were never enough keys to go around and frequent pistol shots frightened the actors, and numerous other minor difficulties presented themselves at rehearsals, the cast and managers really enjoyed themselves and will look back on March 1952, when the play was in preparation, as one of their pleasantest memories. We think it also worthy of note that we had the male talent in our class to produce a he-man play that was a little different from the ordinary. We lost two more members of our class this year. Peter Tyler and Terry Ames seemed to find the navy more attractive than homework. (Who can blame them ? ) As spring grew near, we became busier still — class pictures were taken, caps and gowns were ordered, class day and graduation parts wei’e given out, and excitement ran high. We have enjoyed our stay at Ipswich High School with all its fun and work. Ahead lies our future — school, work, or marriage — new scenes and faces — but our fondest thoughts and memories will al- ways return to I. H. S. Class PROFK CV TIME: 1962. CHARACTERS: Raymond Tarr and Muriel Flewelling. SCENE: A park in Rockefeller Center, New York City. Ray is reading the inscrip- tion on the pedestal of a statue; Muriel, studying the features of the same statue, comes upon Ray. The two collide. Muriel: Why don’t you watch where you’re going? Raymond: I beg your pardon lady, but you bumped into me. Muriel: I bumped into you .... Gosh you look awfully familiar to me. Raymond: I don’t think so. Miss. You see I hail from Ipswich, Massachusetts. Muriel: Ipswich!! Why, I come from there my- self. Say .... I remember you. You’re Ray Tarr. Raymond: Well, you know me, but I . . . . now I know you, you’re Muriel Flewelling. We were classmates back in good old Ipswich High. Gee, I haven’t seen you in a long time. How ai-e you? What are you doing? Are you married? Have you heard anything from any of our old class- mates ? Muriel: Hold on there a minute. I can answer only one question at a time. 23 Raymond: Come over here and sit down. (Points to a bench — the two walk over to it and sit down.) We can talk better here. Muriel: What have you been doing with your- self lately, Ray ? Raymond: I am the heating engineer for the Earl L. Elliott Company in Ipswich, and I am in New York to attend the annual National Heating Engineers’ Convention to be held on Long Island this coming Friday and Saturday. By the way, what are you doing? Muriel: I am the secretary for the National Can- cer Association here in New York. Raymond: That sounds like a good job. You always wanted to be a medical secretary. Muriel: Today happens to be my day off. Raymond: I was reading an article in the paper the other day on the Navy, and it recalled to me the letter I had received from Pete Tyler in which he said he had just taken a stiff exam. Muriel: That’s right; Pete left us in our senior year to join the Navy. Well, how did he finish? Or didn’t he dare say? Raymond: Oh, he told me all right. Yes, sir, he passed with flying colors to become chief cook and bottle washer on the U.S.S. Sink’um. Muriel (laughing): I’m quite sure Pete will do well in that position. Say, that reminds me -— while we’re on the subject of the Navy and posi- tions, have you heard the latest about President Bouchard ? Raymond: What do you mean by the latest? Muriel: Why that he appointed Terry Ames Ad- miral of the Pacific Fleet. I was so happy to hear that. His career was well-suited to him I should say. Just imagine — an admiral before he’s thirty years old. Raymond: Look at George Bouchard, though, president of the United States, no less! Muriel: George has always had the ability and, most important, the perseverence necessary for success. I think we all knew we’d be hearing great things of him. He .certainly didn’t let us down. Raymond: Say, we’ve talked about boys, and that pleases you .... Muriel: Why, thank you, Mr. Tarr! Raymond: Oh no offense meant — but let’s get on the subject of our old female classmates. That would please me! Muriel: So that’s your angle. I should have known something was boiling in that handsome head of yours. Where shall we begin? Raymond: How about Theresa Tondreault? It seems that she sat near me in Study Hall our senior year. Golly, I remember when she turned over in her father’s car on the Turnpike. Muriel: It’s strange that you remember that, Ray, because now she is the manager of General Motors. Raymond: Oh, she’s playing on the safe side now. In case of a smash up the car will easily be re- placed. M uriel: Yes, than maybe she’ll get a convertible (sigh). Theresa helps keep Sally Smith in business too, but Skinner Weagle heads the list as her best customer. Why, do you know that he ... . Raymond: There you go again — you women never let a man get a word in edgewise. If you must tell me this, please begin at the beginning. Muriel: Well, you knew that Sally always wanted to run a gasoline station .... Raymond: No, I didn’t know that. Muriel: Why, yes, for as long as I can remember that was a great desire of hers, and upon graduating from the University of Massachusetts she bought a small gasoline station which she manages on the side after writing un her article for the Reader’s Digest and between publishing her novels. Our little Sally has come a long way. Raymond: Now what in the world did Skinner have to do with Sally owning a gasoline station? Muriel: Well, what do you think busses usually run on? Raymond: Say, that’s right too. So Skinner still has the bus service between Ipswich and Hamilton. It must be bringing in the cabbage, too, from your previous statement. Muriel: It certainly is ... . and do you know that everyone has his slogan on the tip of his tongue? Raymond: How’s that go? Muriel: Around the block? Don’t Walke; To be in time for dinner, Call on dependable Skinner. Raymond: Well, now I’ve heard just about every- thing; leave it to him to think up such a way for advei’tising his business. When you mentioned Sally writing and publishing novels, it set me to think- ing — there must have been others in our class who have tried their luck at journalism. Muriel: Ihere certainly were. The one who comes to my mind now is Mary Chadbourne. Raymond: Is that right? I remember that she was chosen the most popular girl. Muriel: And now Chaddie’s making good use of her title. Raymond: What do you mean? Is she in a contest? Muriel: Contest! Goodness no. She has just re- ceived recognition on the publication of her book, “How To Become Popular In Two Easy Lessons”. Raymond: Sounds pretty good — but can it be done ? Muriel: Chaddie was thinking the same thing and has already begun a sequel entitled “Men! How To Meet Them, Greet Them, and Keep Them.” Raymond: Right now I wish someone w ' ould write one something like this; “How A Woman’s Mind Functions”. Muriel: Oh, as if women were a great mystery to you! Raymond: Ahem. As you were. Miss Flewelling. I remember someone who surprised us all by en- tering the literary field. Muriel: Who’s that? Raymond: Elaine Eliopoulos. Why I thought she would surely be a physical education teacher. It really astonished me when I learned she was a poet. Muriel: Yes, I think Elio would have made an excellent gym teacher, too, but don’t forget how well she read the poems for Miss Allen in English class, or the good grades she received on her essays. No, I don’t think I was too surprised when I heard of her success as a poet. By the way, did Gage Whittier make use of his writing ability? As I recall, his poems and stories were a great attrac- tion in the “Cub”. Raymond: Well that can be answered by “Yes” and “No”. Gage still writes poems, etc. in his leisure and for the mere enjoyment of writing; every so often he sends a few to magazines and newspapers. However, right now he and Charlie Abbott are kept pretty busy posing for Skippy Graffum. Muriel: What in the world for? Why I thought Skippy Graffum had a daily comic strip in the “Boston Globe”. Raymond: He has, and Gage and Charlie are his models for his two chief characters, “Hi” and “Lo”. Muriel: Oh, that explains it. Raymond: Quite often they are called to work unexpectedly but Janice Levere’s taxi service has been right there to serve them in their need. Muriel: I imagine Mary Bobola is a regular passenger with Janice Levere, especially since Janice features special rates for long distance trips. 24 Raymond: I like that dress you have on. But what gets me is how these women’s styles are al- ways changing. Lately they have been quite daring. Muriel: Daring! Why, the very idea! I’ll have you know that this dress was designed by Irene Smolenski, who is employed by Bonwit Teller, and is the finest money can buy. Marjorie Wilkins is on the other end of the production line — making the clothes as fast as Irene can design them. Raymond: Yes, it’s a small world in which we live. Muriel: Yes it sure is. Just last night whom should I tune in to on my radio but Peggy Graves. Peg has taken over ' fallulah Bankhead’s, “The Big Show”, on which she had previously been a guest star many times. I know the program will continue to be a success under the direction of our class songstress. Raymond: Have you done any traveling lately? Muriel: No, I’ve been too busy with my job. Raymond: I was riding through Vermont last week and stopped off at a little village in the hills to see a public auction. There was Sam Taylor on the block yelling, “Going, going, gone”! Muriel: You don’t say. How did he happen to become an auctioneer? Raymond: He attended Billiard Academy after high school where he majored in speech, and has since made himself famous throughout New Eng- land in this profession. His biggest and fastest- going item is pool tables. Muriel: I imagine he’s right at home with that type of work. I’ve been away from Ipswich so long I’ve lost track of some of my old friends. What is Mary Parsons doing now? As I recall, she attended the University of Vermont. Raymond: Mary is now the private nurse for one of our former Ipswich High School teachers, Mrs. Nitardy. Muriel: She has to be up on her current events for that task I bet. Raymond: Yes, as a part of her daily routine she reads the “Record” to Mrs. Nitardy promptly at ten A.M. Muriel : Before we leave the nursing profession I remembered Nina Davis was training in the Lynn Hospital. Raymond: And as a result of that training she is now the head nurse at the Coburn Home. An- other of our classmates is also employed there. You’ll recall that Harriet Georgakopoulos worked in our school cafeteria her last two years in school. Well, now she is the cook at the Coburn Home and from what I hear everyone there is as healthy as can be. Muriel: I’d say our class was well represented there then. But it still seems there were more in- terested in nursing. Raymond: Jo Brouillette is the new school nurse and Bill Markos, a brain specialist, who this last year established his doctor’s office in Ipswich, is the school doctor. Muriel: That’s two more who made the choice of a medical career. Raymond: Gordon Motley fits into this category too, you might say. You see, he’s established a chain of independent drug stores throughout the country. He owns the one in Ipswich and is manager of the firm the “Independent Drugstores of Amer- ica.” Muriel: And now I’ve had time to think of others — Greta Nordquist and Janet Erickson — I think that takes care of that field now. Raymond: I remember reading of Greta’s gradu- ation from nursing school in Boston, but I don’t recall hearing where she is now working. Muriel: Greta joined the Waves as a nurse and liked it so well that she reenlisted after her first four years were up. Raymond: My but she was a beautiful girl. She must be very stunning with her fair complexion and Navy uniform. Let’s see, she must have the rating of at least a lieutenant by now. Muriel: That’s right, Ray. Janet was also a pretty, blonde girl. Now she’s hiding her baby face among real babies. She followed in her sister’s footsteps after graduation and attended North Shore Babies’ Hospital. And now she runs a nur- sery. In this way she can also care for her own children. She has three you know, Pete, Pete, and re-Pete. Raymond: Speaking of babies — did you know that David Ellsworth, after serving in the Marines, joined his father in the photography business. They specialize in baby pictures; it’s Dave’s job to keep the babies smiling. Muriel: I can picture him now • — but then he’s had experience baby-sitting. Say, what ever be- came of Betty Higgins? I went to secretarial school with her. Raymond: Why Betty is the private secretary to Mr. Small, the manufactuier of elevated shoes in Ipswich. Muriel: That’s a new industry in Ipswich. Betty won’t be using her employer’s product, however. Margaret Stewart was another tall girl in our class. She entered right into the happy bliss of matrimony after graduation . Raymond: She and her husband now own Good- ale’s Orchards, and I’m surprised that you haven’t heard of their famous apples. Muriel: I’m afraid I need brushing up on the farm news; vou’ll have to tell me. Raymond: They have developed a coreless ' apple which ranges between an orange and a grapefruit in size. Muriel: California is known for its oranges and now Massachusetts for its apples. Raymond: Since you say you’re behind on the agricultural data you probably haven’t heard about David Caverly’s invention. Muriel: I knew Dave took up agricultural engi- neering at the University of Massachusetts, but I haven’t heard of any invention. Raymond: It’s a new type of seed. You just plant it the night before, and presto — the next morning you have the fresh vegetables you need for the day. It has made quite a hit with the women. Muriel: I can readily see why. I understand that Cecille Saulnier and Jackie Clancy are in business together, manufacturing A-bombs. If you’ll think back to our high school days both of these girls were very quiet and demure. Raymond: They seem to have conquered their previous shyness if their business is any indica- tion of tbeir present character. Muriel: Say, how is David Perley getting along? He was the cause of a lot of commotion in English 4-A. Raymond: And from what took place in the Chemistry lab, at school last week he’s keeping up with his old tricks. Muriel: What in the world is Dave doing back in Ipswich High after so many years out of school ? Raymond: He’s taken over Mr. Orcutt’s position as chemistry teacher and conducts daily experi- ments in chemistry and physics. Last week, how- ever, something backfired during a thermite ex- periment blowing the lab to smitherenes. Muriel: Sounds just like Dave. Have any other of our classmates joined the teaching profession? Raymond: I think Neil Jodoin surprised us all. As you remember Neil was the boy who never wanted to step foot into another school. He turned the tables on us by graduating from college and attending a graduate school to become a professor of psychology at Harvard. Muriel: Gee! That’s wonderful. I knew he had it in him all the time. Your telling me about Neil reminds me of June Strader who became somewhat of a teacher herself. Raymond: What is June teaching? Muriel: June is a traveling missionary. This work takes her to all parts of the world. Raymond: That’s great. There are so many countries in need of missionary aid. Muriel: Donald Kelly has been a great asset to her work. Raymond: How do you figure that? Muriel: He owns and operates “Don Kell’s Air- lines”, which employs two pretty young steward- esses and former members of our class, Sandy Ab- bott and Jane Low. He transports June and her colleagues to different parts of the world. Raymond: Another regular on Kell’s plane is David Clements, who is a violinist for the New York Symphony Orchestra and also a soloist on his own. He uses the airlines to carry him from concert to concert. Speaking of entertainment, you probably haven’t heard of Richard Gauthier taking over the management of the Strand Theatre back in Ipswich. Muriel: I bet the shows are better than ever. Raymond: On Friday nights in addition to the regular movie there is a stage-show featuring well- known personalities. Our own Charlie Abbott is the favorite comedian and I understand he is plan- ning to go on television this fall. He’s really reach- ing for the top. Muriel: Speaking of personalities, I read in the paper that Fred Casali, the owner of Schenley’s Stables — the home of the wonder horse “Seabis- cuit”, thi’ee-time winner of the Kentucky Derby — will be in New York this coming week to attend the National Racing Convention. Raymond: Freddy’s long-talked-about-predictions of this horse have certainly come true. Muriel: I also see that Gordon Como has been a favorite among New York sports writers. Raymond: Yes, I remember the swell job Gordon did playing football during his senior year at I.H.S., and he has followed this profession through all these years. He now is a star lineman for the New York Giants and last year received “The Most Valuable Player Award” in the National Football League. Muriel: Yes, being head cheerleader, I attended all the football games and I recall what a powerful squad we had that year. This reminds me of Edith Cunningham who was also head cheerleader at Ipswich High. But Edith has graduated from that and is now a baseball umpire in the American League. Her favorite park is Yankee Stadium where her deep voice can be heard on any after- noon that a game is being played. Raymond: Speaking of sports reminds me of Donald Burke, the best authority on sports in New England. He is the boys’ coach at Ipswich and this past year the boys, who excel in sportsmanship and ability, have had undefeated seasons in each of their thi-ee major sports. Muriel: I see also that his wife, the former Mari- lyn Gunn, has been doing a wonderful job coaching the girls. Raymond: Ipswich High couldn’t find two people better fitted to carry on the sports activities. Muriel: I agree with you there. Two other former classmates of ours, this time girls, to combine and form a business are Arniece Jensen and Dorothy Jewett. In their senior year they worked in res- taurants in town, and now they have their own eating place, the “Jensen A. Jewett.” From what I hear their food is excellent. Raymond: Boy that’s good, because I love to eat. Another twosome to go into business together is Roland Chapman and Fred Manzer, who are cabinet makers. Muriel: Being wood-workers I imagine they are a great help at repairing things around the house. Raymond: The truth of it is that when their wives try to get them to do simple repairs around the house, they find they can’t even pound a nail straight. Muriel: Since you say you like to eat so much, you would enjoy going up to see Anna Marini. Raymond: Why do you say that? Muriel: Well, after graduation Anna took over her father’s farm. Her fresh fi-uit and vegetables stand on Linebrook Road is well-known throughout the state. Raymond: Another great attraction in Ipswich is that of George Tsoutsouris’ Orchestra, which plays at the Youth Canteen Saturday evenings. Muriel: Yes, I’ve heard that George is known as the “Hot Trumpet Player.” Raymond: Besides his regular Saturday night ap- pearance his orchestra is in great demand through- out New England. Muriel: The topic of music and dancing reminds me of Conrad Arsenault and Eleanor Bernard who are known in show business as Connie A. and Ellie B., the great adagio dancers, currently making their debut in New York. Raymond: I caught their act on television the other night and was very much impressed by it. I see that entertainment has been a favorite pro- fession for many of our classmates. Natalie Glines, the quiet girl from Rowley, has recently opened the “Francelia,” a night club in Boston featuring fine food and entertainment. Muriel: Another quiet girl was Loretta Chmura. Raymond: That’s right too. I meant to tell you before. Loretta is the new manager of the Wrigley Chewing Gum Manufacturing Company. Muriel: That doesn’t surprise me. Getting back to Natalie. If you ever want to go to the “Francelia” Night Club and find yourself in need of a baby- sitter, call on Elsie Boudreau and Lorraine Clem- ents who have formed the E. B. L. C. Agency, which translated means, “Every Baby Loves Candy,” and they will take excellent care of your children. Raymond: Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep it in mind. Muriel: (looking at her watch) Gosh it’s getting late; I must get back to my hotel. Raymond: It’s been wonderful seeing you and talking to you about all our classmates. Muriel: Well, I’m glad we bumped into each other today, too. Raymond: I’m not doing anything Saturday night, and there is a good show playing on Broadway; so if you aren’t busy Saturday evening either, I would like to take you to see it. Muriel: Why, I’d like to very much. Raymond: Good! It’s a date. I’ll pick you up about eight o’clock. So long. 26 aiFtS TO BOyS By NINA DAVIS Gifts and souvenirs I bring To the boys of ’52 We think they’re pretty snappy And hope that they do too. These charge account plates Go to Charlie Abbott To help him continue The well-dressed habit. To Terry Ames these water wings To help him stay afloat, Just in case some naughty lads Push him off the boat. Conrad Arsenault’s jazzy steps Are seen on every dance floor Perhaps this little date book Will steer him toward romance more. For George Bouchard, our blushing lad. Who’s use to A’s and B’s, This big red “F” will be a change We hope it won’t displease. When “Slugger” goes to college He’ll be so far away He’ll need a pocket telephone To talk to “Gunna” each day. For Fred Casali, these vitamin pills To furnish pep and steam. Although he seems so sleepy and slow, He’s really on the beam. David Caverly delivers milk Early in the morn, A little bird name Janet Will wake him at the dawn. Since Roland Chapman soon will be Enjoying married life. He’ll need plenty of “mazuma” To help support a wife. David Clements wants to own A nightclub some day soon. Since he’ll need plenty of equipment. He may start with this silver spoon. To “Fat” I give this flag ..V brilliant shade of red. So when he’s hunting rabbits He won’t be shot instead. David Ellsworth takes his friends Riding in his blue boat; A piggy bank for gas and such Will help to keep it afloat. Richard Gauthier works at the Strand; His patience sure is boundless. This paddle will help him maintain order And keep the movies soundless. Skippy is one of our artists And possesses a gift immense; If no other subject presents itself He may use this on the old back fence. (whitewash brush) “Music”, they say, “hath charms To soothe the savage breast,” If we give Neil a music score. His ear will do the rest. To rugged Donald Kelly, An athlete tried and true, I wish success in the future And give this lucky shoe, (horseshoe) Fred Manzer’s a quiet fellow. Though hot-rods are this pride. This belt will keep him in his seat When he goes out for a ride. To Bill, our noble president, I give this pack of money; So he can buy a nice mink coat For his one and only, “Bunny”. Motley has some good ideas But his writing is a mess; To help his readers get the point Here’s a handy printing press. Dave Perley will be an engineer And work on bridges and highways; Ihis handbook will enlarge his skill And set him building skyways. I Roy Tarr is very handsome; He’s also quite a rogue. I’ll give him this model’s hatbox For he’d look quite good in “Vogue”. For Sammy Taylor this golden band In anticipation of the day He will place it on a certain girl’s hand And promise to love and obey. Now you didn’t elect a class orator, But you will all agree, I am sure. That this little soapbox suits “Choota” And nothing could suit him more. A date book for Peter Tyler, With girls scattered far and wide. There’s room for a “one and only” And many more beside. Skinner is often in Hamilton And the climate is not the attraction. It’s Betty of course; so I’ll give him a horse, We hope to his satisfaction. Gage wants to be a chemist But he’s also our class clown; In case the two don’t safely mix Here’s a chain to hold him down. Now that all the gifts are gone I hope the boys agree That all the presents suit them And that they’re still friends with me. 27 aiFTS TO aiRTS SCENE: A train ride home. CHARACTERS: Charles Charlie.

Under the super- vision and coaching of Elliott Roundy, who has won the respect and honor of not only the football, basketball, and baseball players but also of every parent and sports fan of the town, Ipswich rolled up a six and two record in football and took top honors in the Cape Ann League in both baseball and basketball. Due respect must also be given to the captains and membeis of the gridiron, the court, and the diamond for their co-opei’ative and endless work every afternoon throughout their respective seasons. It appears that the football fan is going to start seeing that forgotten sport again, for next year will be Coach Roundy’s second at the helm and should be clear sailing weather. All the luck in the world to the football club of ’52. Now a sports summary of 1951 and 1952, starting with the successful football season. The first two games were won easily, but the next two with pow- erful Class “C” teams were lost partly because of injuries to a few of our key players. Ipswich, however, went on to win its last four and to finish in third place in Class “D”. Basketball showed about the same results, for although we took back the Cape Ann League cup, Ipswich lost all hopes of playing in the Tech Tourney after a win and a loss in the Small School Tourna- ment. mim fmm k % a FOOTBALL SQUAD First Row: Charles Abbott, Fred Casali, Natt Graffum, Gecrge Tsoutsouris, Donald Kelly, William Markos (Co-Capt. ), Donald Burke (Co-Capt. ), David Ellsworth, Robert Dort, David Perley, George Bouchard, Gordon Como.

Third Row: Coach Roundy, Gardner Stone, Joseph Barkowski, Frank Antonucci, Michael Bamford, Jean Americ, Richard Lemieux, Noi’man Michaud, Roland Clements, John Killam, Joseph Carey, Coach Clay. 37 BOYS’ VARSITY FOOTBALL Front Row: Edward Sklarz, David Perley, Gordon Como, Natt Graffum, Donald Kelly, George Tsoutsouris, William Markos (Cc-Captain), Robert Dort, Charles Abbott. Back Row: George Bouchard, Donald Burke (Co-Captain), David Ellsworth, Charles Geanakakis, Fred Casali, Arthur Higgins. Since there are twelve seniors who have good records in sports during their high school careers, a brief account of each follows: David Perley (18) a six-foot-two senior, has played football exclusively for three years and has proved that he is quite capable of playing that all-im- portant role of sub lineman. Good Luck, “Dave”. Gordon Como (15) broke into the sports picture when he was a junior. He’s a striking example of a ball player, steadily improving and devoting most of his time to strictly defense playing and thus proving he could handle his 185 pounds very effec- ciently. Good Luck, “Fat”. Natt Graffum (24), also a three-year veteran, won the regard and respect of both coach and team- mates in his endless efforts to improve his already stabilized athletic ability. Good Luck, “Skip”. Donald Kelly (11) has played football for four years and has showed that football is right up his alley, for he takes great interest in it both on and off the field. George Tsoutsouris (14) is a good example of the get-up-and-go player. George has played football for two years and has showed in his last year that there was no such word as “quit”. Good Luck, “Choot”. Captain William Markos (23) is a person you could give a page full of compliments to. Bill has played football for five years and throughout these years he has won the respect of all his team mates. Because of his “never-say-die” attitude and unique qualities of leadership he was chosen captain of the ’51 squad. Good Luck, “Bill”. Charles Abbott (16) is an aggressive lad, who sought endlessly to learn to play terrific football. He always had a joke when things got dull, but got down to business when the need arose. Good Luck, “Charlie”. George Bouchard (28), a three-year veteran, has been a great help to the squad with his endless efforts to try harder. Good Luck, George. Co-Captain Donald Burke (10) proved himself quite capable, spreading an encouraging word and being first in all exercises. Good Luck, “Slug”. David Ellsworth (13), lucky 13, proved not-so- lucky for the opposing teams as he played brilliantly both offensively and defensively for the “Tigers”. Dave has played for three years and has proved to be a very capable backfield man. Good Luck, “Runt”. Frederic Casali (17) has played for two years but his senior year tells the story, for Fred proved himself quite capable of holding down the half- back slot. Good Luck, “Fred”. Last but not least. Gage Whittier, who is not seen in this picture because of sickness, proved to all that in his four years of football no one should ever “call quits”. Gage, with his aggressiveness and well-rounded personality held the respect of all his team mates through the years. Good Luck, Gage. Now I shall turn in my pen to next year’s sports writer and wish him the best of luck. — DON KELLY. 38 GOING UP BOYS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL Left to Right: Edward Sklarz, Charles Geanakakis, David Williams, Donald Kelly, Ellis Hodgkins (Manager), John Smith, Coach Roundy, Bruce Quint, Fred Casali, Donald Burke, David Ellsworth, Captain Charles Abbott. 39 Qirls’ Athletics The Ipswich High School girls have had a very active year in sports. Archery in the fall and spring has been a favorite with the underclassmen. Badminton, a comparatively new sport to I. H. S., hasn’t too many participants but, nevertheless, the girls have had some exciting intramural games. Softball has been an exciting sport this spring. The outside competition provided by the schools around Ipswich has paved the way for many exciting seasons of interscholastic competition in softball. The basketball season is the most important sea- son for our fair sex. Basketball until this year has been the only sport in which the girls were allowed to have outside competition, and there is much anticipation of the games from year to year. Besides being the first team to have outside com- petition in softball, we were also the first ones to have special uniforms for basketball, a distinc- tion of which the seniors on the team are proud. Although we wound up the season with a 5 win 4 loss record, the team made a good showing as the scores prove. Ipswich 37 Rockport 43 Ipswich 34 Topsfield 27 Ipswich 32 Hamilton 28 Ipswich 29 Newburyport 36 Ipswich 33 Hamilton 34 Ipswich 40 Manchester 13 Ipswich 23 Newburyport 30 Ipswich 43 Manchester 17 Ipswich 24 Rockport 14 irwards, Jane Low, Elaine Eliopoulos, Mary Parsons, and Muriel Flewelling, scored 295 points which doesn’t set a record but shows the accuracy with which the towards shot in those 9 games. The guards, Marilyn Gunn, Margaret Stewart, and Joan Brouillette had 242 points scored against them which shows good defensive play. Due credit should be given to Miss Cogswell, our coach who has led us through a successful season. With the memory of many happy days at Ipswich High, we bow out and wish next year’s teams the best of luck. CHEERLEADERS Left: Muriel Flewelling, Janet Erickson.
