JOHN B. CASEY J-lzfadmastffr igorous prosecution of the war until victory is won overshadows every other duty of the American people. It has been an inspiration to the faculty of the school to hear of the noble services of its graduates on the battlefronts of this global war. Our hearts are grieved when we learn of the ever lengthening list of former pupils who have died for liberty and freedom. With their loved ones we share the grief which has befallen them and we join with them in praying that the merciful God has rewarded each of these heroes with a crown of eternal glory. You, the members of this senior class, have established an excellent record of accomplishment. Your purchase of war stamps and bonds has steadily mounted. During the Fourth War Loan Drive, the work done by you and other Minute M en placed Jamaica Plain High School fifth among 'the senior high schools of the city in the total amount of bond sales. Through your leadership, the sums realized in the I nfantile Paralysis and J uniorRed Cross collections exceeded, considerably, previous donations. When an opportunity is given, improve your minds by further study: let sound moral and spiritual principles govern your daily lives. Wise men and good men possess riches which cannot be measured in gold. May good fortune smile upon each of you through- out the years. UMA ietory cgn be attained only by the efforts of the people of the nation as a whole. In order to serve their country best, these people must be trained and efhcient. To guide and to prepare each student for the limitless tasks which lie ahead is the primary goal of our faculty. h i 5 Yjl Z , Q f Ml VL 4: -33 fr X A-1 '- af NC .1 ,, Third Raw: Mrs. Tracey, Miss Clancy, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Woodward, Mr. Wendler, Mr. llonnellan, Mr. Swan, Mr. Cunningham, Mr. 0,Le:1ry, Mr. Dooley, Bliss Johnson, Miss James Sn-unrl Row: Miss Ells, Miss 0'Mzllley, Miss Gould, Miss Blessington, Miss Mullin, hliss Gray, Miss Tombnugli, Miss Clie-sley, Miss Dawson, Miss Fletcher, Miss Norman, Miss hlaguire, Bliss Hennessey, Miss 0'Connell Front Huw: Miss Flaherty, Miss Dowd, Miss Madden, Miss Donlan, Mr. Casey, Mr. Mealey, Miss Driscoll, Miss Kelley, Miss Campion, Miss Morrissey Agriculture Thomas P.

Have you the stuff of leadership? Are you willing to accept responsibility? Are you eager to work for that superior knowledge which is always the solid basis of power? Have you confidence in yourself, and the readiness to risk making decisions -qualities necessary if you would inspire confidence in others? Finally, do you realize that leadership means not only prestige and power? It means serviceg it means un- ceasing consciousness of the welfare of others. If you have these traits, do not hide them under a bushel. Let your light shine before all men. William H. Cunningham I ,Qi ,I I I I III I I I H!

Then, in a short time, it happened! like a shot out of the blue'- VVar was declared! VVe sophomores, having just entered Jamaica Plain High School, became the first war class of World War II. Little did we realize that this war was to make drastic changes in our lives and in the history of our school. At first the changes seemed pleasant -there was a whole week's vacation while the teachers were assisting the government in the rationing of sugar. Then came the days off while gasoline, fuel oil, and canned goods were rationed. It was not until the older boys began to leave school to enlist in the Service and the reports of casualties and heroism among our 'alumni began to come in that we really knew what war meant to us. Then our school life became more serious. Addresses made by various officers of the armed forces to boys and girls alike stressed the importance of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to procure a worthwhile position in the Service and in the postwar-world. Many of the boys took the V -12 examination for college train- ing under the government. The physical fitness program under government supervision has all the boys going through contorgtions in the gym two periods a week to get those little-used muscles into proper working order for army life. The girls are also included in this extended physical training course. Al- most any day you may look out and see a long line of handsome girls parading to Curtis H all under the watchful eye of Miss Johnson to play a strenuous game of ping pong. First aid and nutrition classes have 4361 been added to the already heavy programs. Last October the school was re- quested to aid in picking a tremendous apple harvest, and the number of volun- teers was gratifying. Besides helping to save the apples from going to waste, the students received a fair wage for their valuable services. The sale of war bonds and stamps has gone beyond all expectations. The call every Tuesday morning for purchasers has been most hearteningg for besides helping to finance the war, students have learned the art of saving. Sales for the past three years have been steadily increasing. Early dismissal of seniors in Febru- ary so that they could assist in speeding up victory by relieving the labor shortage in industry and business was another war emergency. In high school, life begins in the senior year: so I shall pass over the years of probation with all their labors, troubles, and disappointments, and recall the events of our senior year. One of the first duties of the senior class was to elect officers: nominations were completed, votes counted and, as a result, a very capable and good looking quartet was elected: Dean Maclntyre, president, Mary Bradley, vice presidentg Henry Brien, treasurer, and Rita Malloy, secretary. As soon as the elections were con- cluded, the all-important question of a prom arose. After much deliberation and discussion, it was held in the Ceorgian Room of the Hotel Statler, December Q9. Was it a grand affair! Everyone was dressed in formal clothes and dancing to smooth music was much enjoyed. It was the most orderly conducted prom in years, this comment came from Mr. Casey. Incidentally, the senior class expresses its appreciation to Miss Fanning and her hard working art classes for supplying the school with an abundance of posters depicting various views of the dance. The 1943-194-4 athletic season saw Jamaica wake out of a long slumber and win new glories in track, hockey, baseball, and especially football even though the war had seriously depleted the ranks of aspiring athletes. . A feature absolutely new to the school was the introduction of a Junior Town Meeting which was a huge success. It helped to stimulate class discussion of national issues which are important factors in progressive democracy. The terrific task of producing a year- book in wartime was accomplished without any serious setbacks, 6V6.l though there was a shortage of paper and other necessary materials. Everyone looked forward to the day when the cameraman would arrive to snap pictures throughout the building. There were posed and informal shots which, as you see here, came out perfectly. During our stay at Jamaica Plain High, we have witnessed the retirement of one of our most respected and venerable teachers, Mr. William Rice. Ve is greatly missed by faculty and students alike. for his guiding hand has helped many in times of difficulty. The science department is now under the supervision of the able Mr. Woodward, formerly of English High School. With regret we learned of the death of Miss Ellen O'Connor, a former art teacher who retired two years ago. In final tribute, we thank our gracious headmaster for all he has accom- plished in raising the prestige of Jamaica Plain Y igh School. We express our sincere gratitude to you, Mr. Casey and, with deepest regrets, we leave dear old Jamaica never to return to her teachers and class- rooms as students again. , Joseph Edward Logue M iss Campion, Faculty Advisor 4l37l To the Faculty- .Our Gratitude Class Will We, the class of '44, being as sound of mind as you will ever find us, do hereby make known to all men this, our last will and testament, and do herein give and be- queath the following: To Mr. Caseyw Our Lore For four long years we struggled on Our freedom we were winning, And now'those four short years are gone VVe wish they were beginning!

But now we find that good or bad This is the worst class I've ever had. To Miss 0'Malley - Our Thanks You're a teacher of history whose Classes discuss the latest news, We know we'll miss you as time goes by: We'll miss your kind voice and kinder eye. So thanks for the help you gave when needed And the good advice we never heeded. To the Commercial Department-A Bright Future Fingernails broken on typewriter keys, Ten words a minute taken with ease, Nimbler fingers you must borrow- You are the secretaries of tomorrow. To Mr. Dufy--A Girls' Team You had boys this year-just a few In '45, what will you do? Although you'd rather be caught dead, The football team will be co-ed. To Mr. Cunningham-Pleasant Memories Record Club and English Class and milk for just two cents, Lapham, Whitman, Hamlet and other worthy gents. VVe never will forget you, though you can bet we'll try For everybody liked you but nobody knew just why. 7 o Miss Johnson- F eu'er Complaints A class of water-repellent girls With hair which just by nature curls, So that they never will complain Of going to Curtis Hall in the rain. 7 o Mr. Donnellan- Greater Expectations Messy test tubes, broken glass, You've really kept us in the know So we'd like to thank you before we go. To Miss Ells -Longer Periods You'd really like to do a lot- But periods are just too short, It seems to you they've just begun When out the door your classes run. To Mrs. Tracy-'Our Appreciation You bind our wounds and dry our tears. What would We do without you? And when we ache in future years, You bet we'll think about you. To the J uniors-Our Sympathy I leave behind my sympathy And many a little white pill To the unfortunate Junior who follows me And writes next year's Class Will. To the Sophomores--Our Amazement We look at you and wonder why Sophomores look like Seniors in High You're so grown up --these are our fears VVhat will you look like in two more years? Drawn up in the year of our Lord one thousand, nineteen hundred and forty- four at the request of the Senior Class, sealed with the seal of our School and de- livered by Anne Maloof.

As a result, its activities have con- tinued, although the program-sched- ule has often been interrupted to make way for home front War effort. From earlier members, mes- sages and inquiries have brought the War scene closer, and reminded us that pleasant memories of peaceful living mean a great deal in war. The past has been brought nearer in the Italian campaign, as the invading soldiers thundered along the southern artery, the famous Appian lVay, on the road to the Eternal City.

They in- duced a happy Christmas spirit when their echoing carols resounded through the halls. The orchestra, directed by hir. Wagner has worked very hard and, although we rarely hear them play, they are probably saving all their talent for graduation. There is still another musical activity which is very popular in our school. This is the Record Club, sponsored by Mr. Cunningham. We all have an enjoyable time after school listening to records, classical, semi- classical, and popularg occasionally, we steal a dance or two. Records Club During these nerve-wracking days of accelerated programs and uncertainty it is well for us all to maintain our interest in music. Often, when our spirits are low and we need something to speed up our morale, music will spur us on and help us to overcome obstacles which may stand in our way. P. J. l53l Robert Mayer.

Paul VValkup Agriculture Valiant co-operation by the pupils of the Boston Public Schools contributed definitely in helping hlas- sachusetts farm ers to produce a record amount of farm products in 1943. The responsibility of organizing the Massachusetts Farm Volunteer Pro- gram was given to this school because an agricultural department has been for Q5 years an integral part of this school. The department started in 1918 with six pupils, and is today one of the largest high school agricultural departments in the state with an en- rollment of 60 pupils. Prizes earned by pupils during the past Q5 years have been excep- tioally numerousg cups, medals, mc- dallions, and ribbons have been award- ed to the pupils and to the school for excellence. The outstanding work of its scores of graduates in college, agricultural, and horticultural voca- tions has been most noteworthy. The conspicuous part played by the graduates as members ol' the armed forces is also worthy of note. The high percentage of enrollments, the number of commissioned officers, and special lilies of endeavor deserve much praise. This department has brought favorable attention to this school. Leading citizens, educators, and busi- ness men have spoken repeatedly about its many accomplishments. Thomas P. Dooley, Head of .-lyriczzltural Department Third Row: Francis Menz, .lohn Ryan.

The busiest season was in September when each homeroom chose its Red Cross Representative to meet with others to carry out our plans. The girls have dressed 60 dolls for distribution to needy Boston fami- lies at Christmasg and, as usual, Miss Driscoll has conducted a sewing pro- ject whereby fine clothing has been made by the dressmaking pupils for the Junior Red Cross. Then, too, the annual Junior Red Cross collection was generous, and at Christmas our students filled 40 boxes containing toys and useful articles for shipment to children overseas: 20, appropriate for boys, and 20 for girls. - -i55l Red Cross This letter sent to us from England serves to show how apprecia- tive were the recipients: Dear American Children, The children of Sidmouth Nursery School Centres thank you very much indeed for the lovely toys you sent.

The highlight of the cam- paign was our victory over Blechanic Arts High School. Outstanding seniors were Captain James Carty, Gordon Drapeau, Dean hlclntyre, Stan Tremblay, Andrew Gambon, Kenneth Benkart, Frank Kelly, VVal- ter Gavin, and John Giardino. Eu- gene Smith and Gerald Quinn were the junior standouts, while Donald Lamb and Thomas Latham held up the sophomore end. Quarterback Andrew Gambon and his able successor, James Carty, led the team brilliantly throughout eaeh contest. Donald Lamb, despite his size, turned out to be the spark plug ol' the squad. John Giardino starred in the scoring position. VVal- ter Gavin's receiving and Kenneth Benkart's passing was a very good 'l58l combination. James Carty's big toe booted Jamaica out of trouble when necessary. Gordon Drapeau and, in two games, Stan Tremblay constantly broke up opposition plays with lone crushing blocks and tackles. Next year .Jamaica should have another good team if there are enough returning veterans like Eu- gene Smith, Thomas Latham, and Donald Lamb. YVe who are leaving this year shall be watching her team. NYe'll be looking for a great football team, one that we as graduates can be proud of. Many of us will be in uniform but we won't forget Jamaica, her lighting teams, and her amiable coach. To the future athletes of .Jamaica we say, Fight hard and use the teams of the past as your inspira- tion. K. W. Sparked by Captain Frank Kelly, James Carty, Walter Gavin, Henry Brien, Don Lamb, and Bob hloran, Jamaica boasted its best hockey sextet in several seasons. The fast moving purple and gold squad provided the upset of the year when they out-played and out-scored previously undefeated Charlestown High. The boys proved their never say die spirit when, in less than two minutes to play, they shocked South Boston High with three lightning-like Hockey gene Smith Cno relationj, Dan Sulli- van, and Dan Shea. .lim Carty was the team's high scorer, with Bob Moran a close certainly made notice of him game.

Faptain John Giardino C1000j was truly the star of the squad. New-comer Chris Yahnis C6001 also was a constant stand-out, while Ken lvarmunde did very well when called upon. As for the relay action, Chris Yahnis, Don Lamb, Ken lVarmunde, and John Giardino successfully defeated South Boston High at the annual Y.M.C.A. hleet. They repeated this victory the following Saturday at the North- eastern Meet, defeating Boston Trade School. At the State Meet, the boys were finally edged out by Saugus and East Boston High Schools respec- tively. At the Boston Relay Carnival, our medley relay team turned in the fastest time, winning the District Championship and finishing third place for the entire city. The team 4601 of Dan Carter, Chris Latham, and John was composed Yahnis, Tom Giardino. In the Giardino took Chris Yahnis, and Ken Gibbons, a fourth in the quarter. The officials gave hlel Galer a fourth in the dash, but every- one there thought that he had won. Tom Latham, a potential star next year, took a bad spill in the Q20 and failed to come in. The Reggies are coming, and we look to a good showing by our boys, especially those who didn't fair out so well in the Districts. Not all of us were stars, but we tried our best.
