We, the editors and staff of the 1949 Year Book present, with great joy, Our Masterpiece. We approached the task of turning out a successful year book with wonder and elation. However, we soon left these emotions behind to attend to the serious work at hand. We put our hearts and souls into this book because it is ours. We hope you will enjoy the result as we have enjoyed the hours spent in its preparation. To our Faculty Advisers of this year we wish to express our grateful appreciation for all their efforts. We salute and thank Lawrence De Gaust, our artist, who designed the cover. Co-editors: Joan Cyr and Richard May.

Tuesdays and Fridays during fifth period J. P s would-be artists and poets have held council in 111 tackling the problems of the Clarion. In our at¬ tempts to produce a magazine with enough of the gay, grotesque, and comic to satisfy everyone, we have strived to overlook no budding genius. It is Mr. Cunningham who will hold the center of our Clarion memories. His indomitable wit and patient supervision have given our meetings a spirit of animation. Now that the hour of departure has come, we realize how fortunate we are to have such happy moments to remember. M.T.L.

During our stay in Jamaica Plain High, we, of the Library Service Club, have enjoyed helping others find pleasure .in books. Under the ever-helpful guidance of Miss James, our librarian, we ourselves have had new paths of enjoyment through litera¬ ture opened to us. At Christmas, we decorate the library with festive greens and have a wonderful party. The Record Hops given by the club throughout the year also add to our social calendar.

This ambitious group elected the following officers: Praeses: Amelia George Quaestor: Helen Reardon Sub Praeses: Helen Dwyer Scriba: Lillian Vangel Magistra Oblectationum: Winifred McCormack A play was put on by second year students who put to shame, by their clever acting, the high and mighty fourth year pupils of Vergil. Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil can be conquered, even delightfully, with our motto, Perge Modo as inspiration. The more we put into our Latin, the greater the dividends.

An Appreciation In 1945 the YEARBOOK was dedicated to Miss Elizabeth H. Norman. In that year she retired after teaching in the Jamaica Plain High School for over thirty years. Shortly after school began this year, Miss Norman's friends were shocked and grieved to learn that she had passed away. Miss Norman was a careful, conscientious, and inspiring teacher. But she was far more than that. She took a personal and affectionate interest in her pupils. By her colleagues she was admired for her honesty and alertness of mind, and by them she was loved for her warm heart and charming humor. Her interest in music and her skill as a poet are well shown in the following sonnet, which was found among her papers after her death. ON THE ESPLANADE Last night I caught the softly murmured prayer Of oboes, muted strings of violins With plaintive notes of supplication rare Filled in — until there burst with rapturous din A vibrant song, rich patterned, — and the sky And earth embraced in holiest communion. Beneath the star-flecked baldachin, and by Our rhythmic Charles, in silent unison Listened the throng ; Herr Fiedler led the choir Symphonic — heart and soul, all seemed in tune. “Such harmony,” thought I, when — “Send a wire!” “At par?” “Gene Tunney”—“G. B. Shaw!” “Raccoon?” “Yes, Carpenter’ s Symphonic Poem is cute;” Then at the oboe’s prayer, each voice was mute. (August, 1929) The sonnet which follows — written by one of her colleagues — suggests the deep re¬ gard and affection in which Miss Norman was held by her fellow workers. For many years, Miss Norman, you have taught Hundreds of boys and girls to conjugate “Amo” and “fero” ; taught how to demonstrate The tricky bridge that Julius Caesar wrought Upon the River Rhine; from you they’ve caught The fire and spirit of Tully Cicero’s great Orations; and zvith you they’ve gleaned the fate Of Virgil’s hero and the promised land he sought. Much more they’ve learned from you. Much more you’ve meant To us, dear friend. Your ever-generous heart; Your honest mind that never would consent To less than truth; your bright and cheerful ways Have made you dear. You’ve played an inspiring part In all our lives, accept our love and praise. W. H. C.

It was decided that the advanced class, those that could look a horse straight in the eye, would meet every Wednesday afternoon, while the beginners would meet on Fridays. The members of the advanced class were tought how to canter; while the beginners learned the fundamentals of riding, namely, how to stay on. They were also taught how to mount, dismount and how to post in a trot. During the autumn we travelled over many challenging and picturesque trails in the Park. Through the winter months we were confined to the indoor ring. All in all, everyone enjoyed the horse-back riding club of 1948-1949.

Football In spite of the fact that our football team had but few veteran players on its roster, it gave a fine account of itself, all things considered. Off to a slow start, it was coming with a rush at the close of the season, as the upset victory over Boston Trade School will attest. The boys had the proper spirit, for they never let defeat get them down, and this attitude ultimately paid off. The Seniors on the team with their valuable experience were instru¬ mental in holding the squad together. The Class of '49 has a right to be justly proud of its representatives on the football squad.

Basketball The basketball squad of '49 is having the best season of its history. Under the able coaching of Mr. 0 Leary, the team has won seven battles and lost only two; with five more games remaining we are hopeful of a twelve win and two loss record. We are in second place in the Boston District School Conference. The starting five include four seniors: co-captains Bob King and Gene McCarthy, with Bobby Blasser, Bibby McGovern, and John Dustin, a junior Other seniors on the varsity contributing to our splendid record in the school s history are: Arthur Giddings, Roger Harmon, Edward Bennett, Soupy Campbell, and James Grady. The team' record is as follows: They We East Boston . . 34 18 South Boston . . 34 41 Brighton . . 26 45 Charlestown . . 37 53 Brandeis . . 35 48 Roslindale . . 50 67 Hyde Park . 39 31 Charlestown . 38 53 Roslindale . 17 27 South Boston . 28 48 Brandeis . . 50 29 Brighton . . 32 48 Fifty-six Third Row: Richard Grady, Joseph Cunniff, John Curtin, Francis Furey, Fred Martell, Fred Blasenak.

The Hockey Team With the inspiration that led them to second place in the Boston District League last year, Jamaica's hockey team is presently striving for the crown. The record to date is three victories and two defeats. Victories were over Charlestown, Brighton, and Brandeis. Defeats were handed us by Roslindale and South Boston, with the two toughest teams remaining, East Boston and Hyde Park Mr. McGuckian is handling the team very well. The manager is new to the team this year, but Mark Lynch is quite capable of the job. Jimmy Huf- nagle is high scorer with seven goals, three of which came in the Brighton game. Seniors on the team are: Jim Hufnagle, John Garrity, Bill Miley, Frank Furey, John Curtin, Joe Cunniff, Joe Shea, Frank Carmichael and Bob Everson. J. P. H. S.

Drum and Bugle Corps Sixty Sixty-one Sixty-two Class Day Program 1949 Under the direction of MISS FRANCES R. CAMPION GOOD-BYE It's always hard for seniors to say good-bye as one — We've shared so much together — our work, our sports, our fun. Some liked to study — and did it well, while we, we tried in vain; But we pulled together and won the fight, in sunshine and in rain. Some skied well, others broad-jumped, played tennis, dived, or bowled; Some class-mates on these subjects, never were completely sold. But even tho' we varied in so many different ways We all formed lasting friendships that will stand the test of days, And there's the greatest lesson — one which only friends can teach — That by sharing life with others we'll find happiness in reach. And now the time has come to leave. We pause — just one word more Before we say good-bye and shut the slowly closing door. A vote of gratitude and love for these three years just past, And may your shining spirit further spread, immortal last. So onward, now, and upward, we rise to meet the dawn, With memories of high-school that will glow forever on. Alison J. Porter Perhaps you may associate the word History with unremembered dates, confusing names, and forgotten events. But in this simple class history, there is only one date — September, 1946; the names are those of our fellow class¬ mates; and the events — they are each and every fond memory of our three years at Jamaica Plain High. Most of you, at some time or another, have been Sophomores, so there is no need of men¬ tioning the feeling you have when you first enter into your high school career. In Sep¬ tember, 1946, we, the Sophomores of the year, began this history. We do admit that for some time we were bewildered, unsure, and per¬ plexed. We didn't know which rooms were where; we didn't know what the teachers' names were; we didn't even know anything about the school and its customs. Two sopho¬ more girls actually wandered down the boys' stairway at lunchtime, and stood in the boys' line. Even though we made many mistakes and blunders, we settled down and began our first term. The boys naturally went all out for sports, and a couple of our boys brought J. P. a few honors. Robert Quinn broke some records in track, and Eugene McCarthy became famous for his long-shots. That year, Mr. Casey founded Boston's first Key Club. This exclusive organization, a sub¬ division of Kiwanis International, supplied money for scholarships, athletic awards and charity, by planning rummage sales, variety shows, and various drives. The motto of this club is: Key boys make key men. This ad¬ mirable group deserves the highest praise and respect for its work in the community, and we at Jamaica Plain High are justly proud of it. Despite the fact that it was a hard year for most of us, it passed quickly, and when June came, we locked the doors of our Alma Mater and spent a well-deserved vacation. As usual, we were back that fall in less time than we'd hoped for. But we were Juniors, and a little smarter than before — very important. As we approached the open doorway and started for our respective home-rooms, we were greeted with open arms by — guess who? That's right — Vocabulary Test, a clever little chap you just can't avoid. However, it wasn't too hard — our top Juniors were Arthur Gid- dings and Frances Tierney. We girls will never forget those five-period- a-week Health classes. Nor will we ever for¬ get Miss O'Malley's impressive demonstrations — especially the one on hairbrushing for your scalp's benefit. Remember? The Clarion staff was ably supported by many of the Junior writers who were so good they could have started a newspaper, all by themselves. The Clarion received an award that year for being the best high school news¬ paper. Miss Blessington produced a play which proved to be the funniest ever put on by J. P. pupils. We all wondered why Pop Rokis had to leave the stage so quickly in the middle of a crucial scene. It seems that he was offering his daughter $50, and found that he had left the money off-stage. I never saw anyone ad¬ lib so cleverly. Many of us found that the subjects were harder and the homework heavier, so when the following spring rolled around, we found ourselves counting the days. Vacation finally smiled on us and we broke for the amusement parks and beaches — far from our books, and teachers' looks. Naturally it didn't last long, and when we came back in September everything began to happen at once. As Seniors, one of our chief duties was to welcome the Sophomores. We planned an as¬ sembly for them with individual seniors ex¬ plaining the various clubs and organizations of J. P. High. Then came the election of class officers, which was unusually quiet. As a result, the senior class was represented by President Ar¬ thur Giddings, Vice-President Robert Everson, Secretary Barbara Cross, and Treasurer Joan O'Neill. As usual the Clarion sailed under way with Margot Loungway as its capable editor. Before we could relax and catch our breaths, we had to pose for the Purdy photographers, and then we began to try on our class rings. The organization of the Yearbook came next. As you know, this great yearbook v as under the capable supervision of Miss James, and we seniors would like to thank her for her excellent support in making it the best ever produced. The Key Club assembled and chose for its President, Robert Tonsberg, and for Secretary- Treasurer, William Johnson. This club has been doing wonderful work since it was first established three years ago, and will continue, long after we are gone. The Senior Prom, the gala event of the year will be held at the Longwood Towers, on April 18. By the time you read this history, the Prom will have been long past — but not for¬ gotten. It may seem unimportant to some of you now, but you'll remember its pleasant memories until you're sixty. Our days at Jamaica Plain High School, which were carefree and happy at some times, and unpleasant and trying at others, are soon drawing to a close. Some of us may go on to college, and others may walk right out onto life's pathway. But no matter where we go, or what we do, let's always think back to our old Alma Mater. Let's never forget what she taught us, and most important of all, let's al¬ ways remember what she stood for. Selma Gibran 1953 It was in the year 1953 when the following chain of events occurred. One day I went to have my fortune told at “Willard Turner's Palmistry Shoppe . I was seated and soon the Swamie appeared. It nearly unseated me to see under all those turkish towels my old class¬ mate, Joan Wilcox. She prophesied that in the near future I was to be a patient in my own hospital. This sounded fantastic, but I paid Joan and left. On my way out, I happened to glance at the next fortune seeker. She was a young lady who was sprawled the full length of the couch. It was Pat Wallace. She informed me that her problem was one big Itch . She also told me that Bunny Stinson who wanted to be a success is now married and has a few little curly-headed blonde successes. Joe Shea who started as a handy man on a pig farm is now wealthy since he took over the business and monopolized the manufacture of footballs. He sent his secretary, Nancy Lane, to China to try and persuade the Chinese that footballs are necessities. On last reports Nancy hadn't arrived but I doubt if she minds the slow boat ride since Harry decided to celebrate his graduation from college and caught the same boat. As I was descending to the street a long sleek limousine pulled up to the curb and the Baroness Frederica Van Urpington of Urpville, the former Wilma Kiederling, was assisted to the walk by her chauffeur. It seems that she was having trouble regarding her husband's citizenship and she was going to see the consul at the Embassy, next door to Turner's Palmistry Shoppe. I went into the Embassy with Wilma and the first person that I saw as I entered, was Esther Wilson, telephone operator for the American Embassy. Catherine Carroll, private secretary to the head consul directed us into his office and there, with his glasses balanced delicately on his nose and a fifty cent cigar in his mouth, sat — John Webster. He was listening to the football game on the radio and Bibby Mc¬ Govern, playing backfield for Notre Dame, had just scored his fourth touchdown of the day. I left Wilma to her woes and departed from the embassy. I was crossing the street against the light when it happened. I didn't find out until later, when I regained consciousness that I was in a bed in my own hospital. So Joan's prophecy had come true after all! One of my most efficient nurses, Loretta Leigh was bathing my head. Out in the corri¬ dor, the taxi driver that had so graciously struck me, was pacing up and down. When I was able to receive him Jim Murphy, owner of of the Quickie Taxi-Service, nervously apolo¬ gized and we tried to settle the case between ourselves. Since we were unable to reach an agreement we decided to obtain a lawyer's ad¬ vice as soon as I regained my strength. The next day Rita Nantell, a journalist, came to see me after hearing of my misfor¬ tune. She always did get the news first. She told me that Dennis Dick and Edward Moriarty were both to be picked as members of the U. S. teams for the next Olympic games. Ruth Melchin eloped with Navy's football coach and can understand football so well that she even plays now and then. Rita met Franklin Champlin, expert tree- surgeon, in Dogpatch, China. He was patch¬ ing up the last of the Schmoo trees which are almost extinct, in order to preserve the species. After Rita left I had another unexpected visitor, who gets around and had also heard the news. This one came breezing in with rings on all her fingers and bracelets on one arm and a man on the other. Muriel Landry, was on her way to a banquet in honor of her en¬ gagement to Myron Pendergast when she dropped in to see me. In her charming way she informed me about a couple of my old classmates. Muriel met the former Betty Jo Laird while on a Bermuda cruise, only Betty Jo wasn't a passenger. Her husband owns and operates the ship. Betty always did like boats. Barbara Kinsman is faring well as a dental hygenist in the armed services. Jeanne Lamie has been seen with an extra large baby carriage in which she wheels her red-headed triplets. When I was well enough to be out I made my way to the lawyer's office. On my way to the office I happened to peer in the glass- paned door of the preceding office, and there, taking dictation, and perched very comfortably on her employer's lap was Babs O'Donnell. The name on the door of my lawyer's office was Kelley but it was much to my surprise that I saw Shirley Kelley, prominent woman- lawyer, appear. With her were her private secretary Dottie Coveny, and her bookkeeper and accountant, Ida McEleney. I soon got the accident matter settled as Shirley and her as¬ sistants were most competent. And now, as I again take up my rounds of the third floor, I stop to visit Rita Maloney, who is here for a few more days after present¬ ing her mother's son-in-law with a bouncing nine-pounder. Kibitzer — Jeanne Lamie, 102 Jacqueline LaVie, 102 Sixty-five e fKouincf Little did I realize as I set out on my daily task as Roving Reporter for the Daily Times, that I would find a star human-interest story. So, on April 16, 1960, I went about my busi¬ ness which resulted in a day I would never forget. As I wound my way out of the newspaper of¬ fice, I stopped to talk to Lawrence De Gaust, cartoonist for my paper, and Mildred Jordan, who is Larry's inspiration for Slim Jordan, the most beautiful detective in comics. As I was about to get into my trusty road¬ ster, I saw Beverly Hannington walking towards me wheeling a baby carriage. She informed me that she finally married her Shadow. I decided to visit J.P.H.S. once more where I found Dorothy Isberg assistant to Miss John¬ son, and Beverly Lord, Head of the Commercial Department, with Mr. Sullivan as her assistant. I left J. P. and drove around town. At the corner of Tremont and Boylston, a red-haired cop was directing traffic. As I drove past him, I recognized Donald McKinnon blowing his whistle, and waving his white- gloved hands to order the vehicles to stop or keep on going. Going along Washington Street, I noticed the sign John Campbell's Eatery — Every¬ thing from Soup to Nuts. After meeting the proprietor I ordered a delicious dinner. Then I noticed Angeline Fiumara sitting across from me. I had an enjoyable talk with her and she told me her book Forever Fuchsia is one of the ten best sellers. As I was pushing the revolving door to go out, I met Elizabeth Johnson. She had become secretary to a chemist who recently developed a new growing serum. Marguerite John and Ann Smith were his first customers. Outside the restaurant I met Barbara Guert- ler and her husband who were visiting Boston from Texas with ten-gallon hats and all. As I passed the Common I saw Kenneth Bisson on a plastic box delivery a political speech quoting excerpts from Daniel Web¬ ster's undying speeches. I would have liked to have found out if he was elected to office, but I spied Dorothy Gifun's Beauty Salon. Once inside I met Carol Hester who was de¬ signing gowns in one corner of the shop. I admired the shop with its magnificent interior decoration done by Francis Shea. I drove down one of the surrounding streets and came across Charles Dewey's Skating Rink. I decided to take a peek inside and came across Ruth Fisher and Gloria Innocent inside. I tried my hand at skating and after a few bumps and bruises, I decided to go on about my work. When I heard the clang, clang of the fire truck, I decided to investigate. And whom did I see running into the burning building with a long, black hose, but Frederick Stowell. Sit¬ ting in the Chief of Police's car was Francis Hughes, directing the proceedings. After that excitement, I drove up State Street. I spied Jean Fitzgerald and beeped my horn. She informed me that she was secre¬ tary to a banker. I had some business to do with a bank, so I asked Jean to escort me to her office. There she introduced me to her boss. It was Robert Lennon. A banker??? I left Jean taking dictation from Mr. Len¬ non and went a little further up the street. It was then I noticed the Albuzetian Build¬ ing. I decided to take a tour of the building. In the main office marked Food Brokerage, I saw Ara Albuzetian sitting behind a desk with his feet comfortably placed on it with a cigar in his mouth. At his elbow I saw Lulu Hara- lambides painting his portrait. I left them with Lulu laughing at one of Ara's witty comments. When I left the office building, evening was beginning to settle upon the city. As I passed one of the theatres I nearly collided with a limousine. I took a closer look at the occupant in the back seat and recog¬ nized Roger Harmon, tuxedo, top hat, cane, and all. When I passed the R. K. O. theatre, I noticed a milling crowd around a young gentle¬ man. It turned out to be Robert Shamma, who obliged with his autograph. I decided to go into the theatre and find out what was going on. I met Mary Griffin, with her three children and received an explan¬ ation from her. Robert Shamma is the most famous movie star in Hollywood today. He was making a personal appearance along with Bibby D'Angelo's orchestra. After an exclusive interview with both of them, I drove up Washington Street once more. Suddenly I came face to face with familiar names in blazing lights. After sitting through the musical comedy, North Dakota , starring Marjorie Daily and George Moore in the leading roles, featuring Lillian DiPaolo and Aphrodite Chronopoulos in the chorus line as the Hick Chicks , I climbed into my car once more. I came to the conclusion that this was quite the day with my meeting all my former classmates. So with contented heart, and bubbling enthusiasm, I went home to write my big story. Fannie Gulino, 1 04 Sixty-six jf-antad y I960 Maybe you do not believe in magic carpets. Well, neither did I until I bought one. On one blue Monday morning, I walked into a curio shop run by Dot Wilson and flew out on a beautiful . sea-green carpet. Anything can happen in this year of 1960! Dot has been running this shop ever since her return from Egypt where she married an archeologist in 1955. Since I had such a marvelous rug in my possession, I decided to put it to use. After cruising around for awhile, I de¬ scended to a busy intersection in New York City. There I saw a harried policeman dodg¬ ing cars, most of which, I noticed, are designed and manufactured by Geneva Turner. Imagine my surprise when the officer turned out to be none other than Bill Miley. He told me that he now gets all his exercise during traffic duty. From him I learned of the activities of J. P. 49'ers. Leo Driscoll has become famous as the den¬ tist who invented the painless drill. Phyllis Schleehauf is there to reassure all the nervous patients. Anita MacKay is now Mrs. George 7 She now has not one, not two, but three sets of twins. Dolores Reed, her neighbor, is also married and has two darling boys. Fran Tier¬ ney, still waiting for 7 Mr. Right, 77 runs a day nursery which both Anita and Dolores patron¬ ize. Connie Kelley who has five now, is also seen at Fran's. After a long and very interesting talk with Bill, I again set off on my carpet. The next thing I knew, I was in Wyoming. There below me was one of the largest and finest horse breeding ranches l7ve ever seen. On further investigation I learned that the ranch was owned by Chris Barrett and Lorraine Terra- nova. The girls invited me to stay the week with them. Since my vacation from the hospi¬ tal was only one week, I declined, sadly, and only stayed one day. Phil Morin and his Woolly Wyoming Harmonica Trio furnished the entertainment. Peggy Gately and Ruth Robinson are on the ranch, too; Peggy handles the correspondence while Ruth is chief cook and bottle washer. Marjie Roberts, in Hollywood, has the lead in the movie production of Kay Fennessey's prize winning novel Forever Chartreuse. Marjie's Chartreuse is much better than Linda Darnell's Amber ever was. I also saw another J. P.-'ite in Hollywood. James Hufnagle, now Mr. America, was bask¬ ing in the warm sunshine on one of the well known beaches. This is the fourth year in a row that he has won the title. His wife, Bunny, handles his publicity. This must be the secret of his success. I must have gone in the wrong direction when I left California for I landed in Nome, Alaska. There, modeling what the smart Alaskan will wear in furs this winter were Eleanor Choate, Ann Scalfani and Jean Suther¬ land. The girls really looked chic in ermine and mink ensembles. One of their regular customers is Rita La Freniere who now lives in Nome with her millionaire husband. Well, home again! Why there's Dr. Robert McVicar's house. I see Amelia Bagiackas is busy picking flowers to brighten up the office. Bob's flourishing list of clientele inhabit the elite sections of Boston. Among them, I learned, was Frank Procum and his wife. Whenever the baby, little Babs, gets a fever, they immediately call Dr. McVicar. Lauren Frank has plenty of opportunity to do nothing. He got a call from the Cease the Melody program sponsored by Edward Ben- net's prize Hollyhock Seed Company, answered the question of What are the first three let¬ ters of the alphabet? and won a new home furnished, and five hundred dollars a month for life. Tom Burns has joined the Jamaica Plain High faculty. He is in the history department teaching from Joanne Murray's new book, Why History? Dorothy Harroun is traveling all over the world giving lectures on friendship. Her book on the subject is really quite marvelous. Peggy Stuart is accompanying her. Peg has part in¬ terest in the Revere Rollerdrome now. From Wyoming to California isn't a very long jump. There I saw Edna Smith and Frank Fury lunching together. They've been keeping steady company for many years since leaving school. His girl won't say Yes, and her man hasn't got around to saying Will you ; so they comfort each other. It's a very nice ar¬ rangement and likely to go on for some time. Well here I am at the nurses' home. I shall fold up my carpet and go in. Hey! Here's a letter. Who could it be from? Here's a return address. Ruth Stern St. Mary's Convent Dublin, Ireland. Frances Short, 1 05 Sixty-seven June 1, 1959 As I was waiting for the airplane to take me from California to Boston I was surprised to meet Mary Liolin who was my classmate in school ten years ago. Mary is responsible for the crowds flocking to Eva Belonga's famous Nite-Owl Club for she is a professional ventriloquist. The club features Geno Val- anzola and his twenty-five piece orchestra with a drum specialty by William Taylor. Taylor is now even more popular than Gene Krupa. I boarded the plane and was greeted by Jo Ann Barry who was to be the airline hostess on the trip. I learned the pilot was Arthur Anthony who holds half-interest in American Airlines. Jo Ann offered me a newspaper to read on my flight. The headlines read: Edward Per¬ kins, Chief of Police in Los Angeles and his assistant Wallace Martell just captured the notorious narcotic Reefer Gang. I turned to the fashion page and was amazed to see all the gorgeous creations de¬ signed by Pearl Kayajanian. On the next page I saw a picture of Joan McCarthy's horse Gallopin' Bess who had just won the Kentucky Derby. I picked up the funnies and had to laugh at the comics The Lone Stranger written by John McNulty. Jo Ann Barry told me Dorothy Spierman was in the finals in the Mrs. America Contest. Being married to Frank does not keep her from having a successful career. We stopped at New York for lunch. When I entered the restaurant I recognized Barbara Eaton now Mrs. Frank Procum, as the owner. She's trying to put the Waldorf out of business. Between meals Barbara has to look after her two daughters, as her husband is busy as Scout Master of the community. I went into Macy's Department Store that was under new management by Edward Bulger. The capable and efficient buyer was Raymond Bates, and assistant manager was Lloyd Frame. Lloyd's excellent secretary was Jeanette Lozier, the star shorthand pupil in high school. I bought a dress and the attractive salesgirl was none other than Margaret Galvin. Edward Bulger told me he married his high school sweetheart, and they have a lovely red- haired daughter, Phyllis. After leaving the store I discovered that it was quite late and that I was due back at the airport to continue on to Boston. When I boarded the plane for the second time I met Lillian Knowles who finally bought a dream house in the country but had to call the plumber to fix a leaky water pipe. Lillian now has a swimming pool in the cellar. Incidentally, the plumber was Danny Quinlan. Finally I reached the East Boston Airport, and took a cab to downtown Boston. The driver was Paul Tracy. He owned six cabs and at last he was his own boss. I was too early for my rendevous so I strolled through the Public Gardens and the Common. On the Common was a girl in a booth look¬ ing for volunteers in the Waves. I recognized her as being Joan Kelly. As I walked further I noticed George Stathe. He was the gardener and he took care of the Common. He also sold Christmas trees on the side making quite a profit. Maybe that ac¬ counts for the trees being mysteriously cut down and missing from the Common. Richard Smith was operating the Swan Boats and he demonstrated to all the children how to feed the ducks as they went along the water. As I walked on a man in a white coat came toward me. It was none other than Robert LaMarca who is now a famous surgeon at the Angell Memorial Hospital. June Leith his registered nurse admits the patients. It was still too early for my appointment so I visited my Alma Mater. Ann Smith is teaching chemistry at J. P. so maybe that ac¬ counts for the frequent explosions in the lab. Helen Sheedy has just been made head of the English Department. No home work over the week-ends, is Miss Sheedy's motto. Remember Paula Hasameyer? She is Mrs. Charles Rosen and has triplets three years of age. Elaine Farrara married her Jackie and is a prominent member of the Beacon Hill Socialites. Ever since John Mitchell left J. P. he has been corresponding with a cute Chinese girl whom he met while he was in the service. I was informed that last month he took a Slow Boat to China and married her. On my way to Roxbury I bumped into Barbara Cross, or should I say, Mrs. Frank Barrett. Because her husband expects to own Sears Roebuck any day now, their house on Fenwood Road is furnished with luxurious furniture from the said store. I forgot to men ¬ tion Barbara has four children and they're all boys! I was told that John Jackson and Frank Coy Sixty-eight have finally gone to Canada. I think John was sent from Gilchrist's as photographer to take pictures of children with Santa Claus. Frank went along as his assistant. He serves as a Birdie ' I have just arrived at the Mission Church and that's the reason for my making this trip. I have been invited to the wedding of one of my classmates who vowed and swore that she never would get married. But here I am at the wedding of Barbara Bates and she's com¬ ing down the aisle with a queer smile on her face. Barbara Lyons, 106 rioted dront sd Jdaruard jdfojeSSor In my career as professor at Harvard Uni¬ versity, I meet many of my old classmates. I am on my may to meet Constance Proctor, who is now married to her Tennessee Jed. She has two lovely little boys. While I was waiting for the bus, I met Eugene McCarthy and Robert King. They told me that they are professional basket¬ ball players for the Boston Celtics. Eugene holds the world's record for scoring the largest number of points scored in a single game. From the bus window I noticed one of the Morgan five and tens. Jean Morgan started a chain of stores all over the country; she is opening a store in Paris soon. At the next stop, Robert Gregory got on the bus, As usual, he tried to sneak by the fare box. He is the president of the Moo Moo Dairy Plant and he told me that Margaret Odom is his private secretary. At lunch I met Mary Ann Salemme. She is Filene's top buyer and she was leaving for Paris later in the day. Suddenly all heads turned toward the door of the restaurant to see James WhoIIey, an Admiral in the U. S. Navy, walk in. All the girls were swooning as he walked by. Later on, I visited our one and only J.P.H.S. Mary Meehan and June Deedy are the two efficient secretaries. James Grady is the drill master now and every day he marches half the class up to the office; it seems that the boys are insolent. Joan Stapleton was visiting the school, too. She is touring schools giving lectures ab©ut airplane hostesses. Warren Eldracher is the chemistry teacher and Barbara Kelly is his assistant. I was interested to learn that Elaine Breare is teaching Sunday School. Francis Carr is a prominent artist and the paintings on the walls of the new State House were done by him. Robert Blasser, I hear, is a butter and eggs man. His chickens lay the largest eggs in the world. Lawrence Copponi is in the army and he drills men from ten in the morning till two in the afternoon; it seems that he is able to make the men work now. Bernice Charron and Eleanor McLaughlin are private secretaries at the White House in Washington. Picking up a magazine in the store, I found myself gazing into Dorothy Corbett's face. She is a Harry Conover Model. Joan Cyr is working as a nurse at the Faulkner Hospital. Lois Lake is now married to the notorious Hank and they are living a thrilling life. Joan Frizzell is also married. Viyian Newbrandt writes a daily column in The Boston Globe — Advice to the Love- Lorn. At church recently, I met the most Rev. Arthur Giddings. He might be our next cardinal. Hugh MacKenzie bought out the Penn Florist. His motto is Say it with MacKenzie flowers. Carl Maybin is now on the President of the U. S.'s States Rights Board. Richard May is the new owner of the First National Stores and Eleanor Piatelli is his secretary. It seems that Eleanor is never to work on time. Marion Moriarty is a Professor of Spanish and Geometry at Boston Teachers' College. Many of my former classmates and former graduates of J.P.H.S. have reached their goals, don't you think? Nancy Roumacher, 1 17 2) ea n oj 20 A few days ago, while the other half of the French class was reciting, I closed my eyes for a moment and everything began to spin. I felt something flapping in my face, and thinking it was Miss O'Connell trying to awaken me, I opened my eyes and sat up. Imagine my surprise when I found myself sit¬ ting in an open field surrounded by turkeys! I picked up an old newspaper to whack at the turkeys and saw that it was dated 1 965' Com¬ pletely confused, I stumbled to the road where Sixty-nine c large s gn said Tonsberg's Turkeys — the truz est b'-ds n Massachusetts.' Just then a taxi cc e dev. n tue road, and I hailed it. Virginia Noonan, the driver, told me that to ne p support her four red-hc red sons, she had became a taxi driver. About a half mile down the 'cad there was a dazzling light, which I socr d sccvered cere from a billboard on .s ch Lois Wagner's merry smile was adver¬ bs °g c cnis' Toxic Toothpaste. Virginia tala me that Metaxia Talianis had made a fortune n this bus ''ess. end we become so in¬ terested In the latest gossip that Virginia drove ''to a tree. After we ad been tewed away to the gar¬ age of Mark Lynch Inc., we were taken to the hospital. I was curious about the long line of men which stretched for two blocks from the hospita but was told that they were only the ca v patients of Dr. Patricia Remsen, Stcnd- -g - the ccrr dor saw cheerful CharIes_Dur- gin, the undertaker — waiting hopefully. Then Nurse Winifred McCormack opproac-ed saw that • was unhoped and ;ghtly tossed me out the back door. Everything went black, and when I revived, thought was n heaven unti -ec ized that : was not an enge but Margaret Duff bend- ng eve' e. S’ e tcld me cs she helped me to -'eet that s e was work ng in Purdy's as a photographer. Among the famous people that s'e ac photographed, s e said was Natalie Th omas, who has he d the title of Most Beautify Mother o Triplets for four years in success on. When left Margaret, I heeded for the Sauer Sweet Shop, owned by Helen Sauer. Be- -j - e ccw-'e' 'ecogn zed the fr endly face c Marie Carmos, Marie pointed to a man at the end of the counter, drowning his sorrows n a double chocolate malted. That's Charles Sullivan, the politician, she said. He's still tm a to ntroduce the 'Su ivan P an' into the B aster schoo system. His plan s to have the pup ls assign homework to the teachers. Outside the Sweet Shop, met Alison Porter, ocm n2Cj pQf seen since she eloped with Danny on graduation night back in '49. She was about to board a jet propelled rocket for Sw tzer and, where she is head of the Inter¬ national Sk Club. I accepted her invitation o pin her but first we decided to see a few shows. still trying to collect that last yearbook pay¬ ment. We entered a taxi in which the radio was blaring loudly, News Flash — Mrs. Adam Mroz has just become the mother of quad¬ ruplets. Now Adam has what he always wanted — four Mrozes. As we passed a large, well-lighted house, the driver told us that Lillian Vangel was giving another party. Her reputation as a hostess, he said, is more famous than that of Elsa Maxwell. Among the guests going up the stairs I saw that famous disc jockey, Donald Mitchell, Nancy McAvoy, noted society columnist and Alice Stabin with her husband, Arthur Lihzis. We finally arrived at the rocket station and set out for Switzerland. After I left Alison and her skis, I saw Robert Quinn on the top of Mt. Blanc, the only place he could find to escape from all the women that were chasing him. In Paris I learned that the leading fashion designer was Charlotte Nardone. She told me that Kiki Hatzis had made a fortune in mil¬ linery, with the slogan — Those who know what hats is, buy their hats from Hatzis. She also told me that George Clark was so irritated by the song, Don't Smoke in Bed, that he invented a fireproof material to be made into sheets, blankets, and pajamas. On the Champs Elysses, I met Barbara Ross who took so much French at J. P. that she forgot how to speak English. After Barbara got rid of the four ardent Frenchmen who were courting her. she took me to the Follies Bergere to see that famous can-can dancer, Genevieve Sacco. At another table, winking at Genevieve, I saw Robert Everson, who is now U. S. Ambassador to France, and his charming secretary, June Dexter. On the way home, I stopped off at Turkey to see Margot Loungway. Margot went to Turkey to see why her correspondence with a young Turk had stopped, but when I arrived, I found that she was queen of Ali Khan's harem. Before I could recover from the shock, I heard a bell ringing which I thought was announcing Prince Ali's arrival, but a vigorous shaking from Miss O'Connell brought home to me the shocking realization that it was the end of the sixth per od — and of my prophetic dream! Alice Mulhern, 207. Our first stop was the Opera House where £[aii Efthemia Psomiades was singing Carmen with Lauritz Melchior. From there we went As you Q|j Boston is the seat of culture to the Astoria Theater to see the Jamaica Plain arKj refinement. Upholding this reputation, rio — Betty Cunningham, Selma Gibran, end yCHj wj|| f jncj many of the recent graduates of Grace Fezzulo — who have replaced the An- Jamaica Plain High School making their mark drews Sisters. These girls gained their expe- jn expansive field, rience in the special chorus of the Jamaica Plain High School Glee Club. We left by the At a recent alumni meeting of the Class back entrance to avoid Amelia George, who is of 1949 many of the celebrated figures were present. The meeting was held in the Hotel Somerset. Entering the lobby, I saw nothing but floods of photographers, anxiously awaiting a glimpse of the celebreties. A special pass admitted me to the main ballroom where a flock of my old cell-mates had already assembled. As I gazed around the room my eyes rested on a stately man standing at the further side of the room observing the crowd. I recognized him to be John Rokis, the multi-millionaire. John took over the Kresge Company and changed the S. S. Kresge to S. S. Rokis. To further his success he married the heiress Barbara Hutton and changed all the Woolworths to Rokises Now you know why there aren't any more five and ten cent stores. Sitting in one corner of the room is John Garrity, leisurely puffing away on a huge cigar. I broke through the cluster of girls surround¬ ing him to speak a few words with him as it's so seldom I get the chance. These few words with Honest John told me he has been spending his winters in Florida and his sum¬ mers at Suffolk Downs, the home of the Aris¬ tocrats. He wants to be a Cardinal at the age of twenty-six. Among the girls surrounding Garrity were Ann Conway and Barbara Driest. It seems they both have gone into the bookkeeping field. A[l they have to do is sit at a desk and keep the books from sliding off the table. I replied that I didn't think this was very excit¬ ing work but after they told me they work for Jim Foster and Billy O'Donnell, I choked on my words. Foster and O'Donnell are two used car dealers, and although they have lots all over the country they still refrain from signing con¬ tracts. You see, they always had nightmares about signing the pledge to the Clarion. Of course, that imminent Geometry teacher. Professor Carmichael was there. He was quite elated about the School Committee's accept¬ ing his new text book of Geometry problems, now read in schools all over Boston. The an¬ swers to the problems are written in code in the back of the book. He is now working on a key to the code which he is sure all students will buy. Good calculating. Professor! Jean Dooley and Mai Bisson, stunningly dressed in their own fashion creations w-ere sipping tall glasses of ginger ale. They both went into fashion designing after graduation, and their latest masterpiece is a practical dress which made a huge sensation with the men as it is only practically there. It's styled after the Unfinished Symphony and called the Unfinished Dress . Living up to the motto, Society comes late came Jo Agri and Mary Cook who have just had their coming out party because they were a little late in finishing Finishing School .
