Devlin, Jr. Trainer James J. Murphy Asst. Coach James J. Jordan Captain Peter Kalitka Asst. Coach Ernest Perry Student Mgr. Robert Cahill Faculty Mgr. John W. Kennedy Lawrence 0 — Saugus 7 I Lawrence High School entered the third annual Joyce Jamboree in Manning Bowl, Lynn, with less than ten days of practice. Lawrence and Saugus battled to a stalemate for the larger part of the game, but Saugus cashed in on a poor Lawrence kick as the Blue and White was backed up within its own ten- yard line. Lawrence’s kick carried to the 18 yard line, and it took Saugus but three plays to cross the goal line for a touchdown. Lawrence lacked any resemblance of offensive power in the game, but the defensive tactics were good. Lawrence 20 — St. James 0 Lawrence High unleashed a team full of spirit and the lighter St. James squad felt the effects of the contest as the game wore on. Lawrence High scored in the first period, capitalizing on a St. James fumble. It took ten plays to cross the St. James goal line with Gerry Callagy finally going over. Belanger added -the extra point. The Blue and White scored again in the second period, marching 85 yards without a single setback, Belanger going over. A St. James fumble in the thir d period on the Lawrence 26 paved the way for the third and final touchdown. George Veilleux went over from the one yard line, Belanger’s placement was wide. Lawrence 6 — Revere 18 Lawrence High went down to a 18 to 6 defeat at the hands of a strong Revere team at Revere. Revere got away to an early lead in the game due to a Blue and White misplay. Revere then marched 25 yards for their first score. Revere again got off to a touchdown march after Lawrepce kicked to Revere’s 45 yard line. This march featured Cerrone and MacDonald, two outstanding Revere backs who pounded their way through Lawrence’s defense. Law¬ rence scored late in the second period when Tommy Ruffen heaved a left-handed pass to George Veilleux who raced across the Revere goal. Revere again took advantage of another Lawrence misplay to add a third touchdown to their score. Twice during the game the Lawrence line held Revere from touchdowns by stopping them on the one yard line. Lawrence 0 — Manchester Central 0 Lawrence traveled to Manchester, N. H. to play a strong Manchester Central eleven to a scoreless stale¬ mate. This game featured outstanding goal line stands. Three times Lawrence threatened, and three times the Blue and White were stopped cold within the Manchester 5 yard line. Likewise, Manchester Central theatened, but a strong Lawrence line stood up and repelled Manchester. Both teams fumbled a great deal which proved costly. Lawrence 27 — Worcester Commerce 7 Lawrence High rolled up a big 27 points against a strong Worcester Commerce team. After the opening kick off Belanger, Veilleux and Trignani brought the ball down to Worcester’s 1 yard line with Belanger pounding his way over, and then adding the extra point. Worcester scored on a Lawrence misplay which gave them the ball on the Blue and White’s 10 yard line from where a pass netted them 7 points. Law¬ rence scored again before the half with Veilleux scooting around end for the touchdown. Belanger immediately plowed across for the extra point. In the third period Lawrence scored twice with Trignani and Callagy the point makers. All afternoon Lawrence showed a great deal of offensive power. Lawrence 14 — Lynn English 13 Lawrence High School took one out of the book when it defeated a heavily favored Lynn English eleven at Lynn. Lynn English scored first on an end around play from the eleven yard line, but missed the all important point. Lawrence came back to take the lead on a pass from Ruffen to Veilleux plus the conversion. In the third quarter English notched its second touchdown and converted to take the lead, 13- 7. English threatened again late in the final quarter on the Lawrence 6 inch line, but a great Lawrence forward wall held. Then with only 90 seconds remain¬ ing, Tommy Ruffen filled the air with his passes, and hit Larochelle who brought it down to Lynn’s 5 yard stripe. Trignani plowed over for the tieing marker, and Belanger fought his way across the last marker for the all-important extra point. Lawrence won, 14- 13. Lawrence 0 — Nashua 20 An undefeated unscored upon Nashua eleven came to Lawrence, and defeated the Blue and White, 20-0. After the opening kick off, a Ruffen to Perocchi pass threw a scare into Nashua, but they held Lawrence on their 15 yard stripe. After this, it was all Nashua who possessed a great offensive and defensive team. With the help of a few Lawrence fumbles, Nashua scored 20 points. And Nashua rode home to New Hampshire with their record unblemished. Lawrence 7 — Peabody 7 Lawrence High came from behind in the final quarter to tie Peabody High, 7 to 7 in the annual gridiron meeting between these two schools. Peabody marched 86 yards to their touchdown with the help of 25 yards in penalties against Lawrence. Lawrence tied the game up midway in the final period when Ruffen tossed a pass to Steve Perocchi who scampered through the Peabody defense to cross the goal line for a touchdown. Belanger plunged through for the extra point. [ 116 ] Lawrence 25 — Chelsea 7 The Blue and White scored in the first period on a series of seven plays, and then crossed the Chelsea goal line twice in the second period. Roland Belanger scored the first two touchdowns, both on short line plunges, while Perocchi caught a pass in the end zone from Tommy Ruffen for a third score. And Callagy caught a long pass from Ruffen for the fourth T. D. Opolko scored for Chelsea on a short line plunge after a Lawrence fumble set up the touchdown. Lawrence 7 — Haverhill 0 Not since 1940 had a Lawrence High School foot¬ ball team defeated Haverhill High. So on November 11, 1946, the Blue and White traveled to Haverhill seeking a victory. All afternoon Lawrence’s offensive power was great at midfield, but when they moved into paydirt they bogged down. It seemed as if they were jinxed. But in true Lawrence fashion they gathered their offense and marched down the field with Roland Belanger pounding his way across for the winning touchdown. The Blue and White forward wall was great on the defense and held Haverhill in check. Lawrence 0 — Salem 0 A strong and powerful Salem eleven, second only to undefeated Lynn Classical, the uncrowned gridiron champion of Massachusetts, traveled to Lawrence to revive an old gridiron meeting. The crowd filled Memorial Stadium to watch Salem’s great offensive team which was dangerous anywhere within the 20 yard line because of a great field goal kicker named John Ahern. Much to the surprise of the crowd, a vastly improved L. H. S. eleven held Salem to but 3 first downs, and all day threatened the Salem goal line. The Lawrence line was brilliant on the defense, and I think it fitting to name that starting line: Le.-Perocchi, Lt.-Kalitka (c), Lg.-Iannazzo, c-Jacobs, Rg.-Canty, Rt.-Sanderson, Re.-Gregorowicz. The game was a scoreless deadlock with L. H. S. doing all of the threatening. Belanger and Callagy did the bulk of the ball carrying while Ruffen filled the air with left-handed passes. Lawrence 14 — Lowell 0 This is the starting line for the annual Thanks giving Day gridiron classic: Left End Left Tackle (C) Left Guard Center Right Guard Right Tackle Right End Perocchi Kalitka Iannazzo Jacobs Canty Sanderson Gregorowicz Lawrence High outplayed and outclassed their upriver rival Lowell High in the 50th annual football meeting between these two schools. Roland Belanger was the leading ground gainer for Lawrence annexing some 106 yards in 22 rushes. A Lowell fumble on their 43 recovered by Lawrence, started the first touchdown march, and Georgie Veilleux scored from the five yard line. Roland Belanger rushed the extra point to put the Blue and White ahead 7 to 0 in the first few minutes of the game. In the last quarter, Georgie Veilleux again scored for Lawrence, and Ruffen added the extra point. Playing their last game for Lawrence were: Captain Pete Kalitka, Steve Perocchi, Roland Belanger, Tom Ruffen, Don Sander¬ son, Johnny Iannazzo, Dick Jacobs, Len Callagy, Fred Silva, Georgie Veilleux, Norman Larochelle, Roland Trignani, Pete Kattar, Tom Petzy, Anthony Laudani, Bob Pasquill.

THE LAWRENCE HIGH BASKETBALL TEAM—1947 The 1947 Lawrence High School Basketball team, p ossessor of the best record of any Lawrence High School Basketball team, and 1947 Essex County League Champions, closed their league season by trouncing Haverhill, 50-35, and extended their winning streak to eight straight games. Tommy Ruffen tossed in 18 points for our team, and after the first few minutes, Lawrence was never headed. Lawrence got off to a fine start by beating a powerful Alumni quintet 31-19, on January 3, but suffered a sharp reversal the following night at Salem, where they dropp.ed their opening league game 27-25. Tommy Ruffen and Steve Perocchi were the high scorers for Lawrence with 6 and 5 points respectively. A four-game winning streak came next as the Lawrence team chalked up victories over Gloucester 26-21, Lynn English 39-29, Beverly 42-33, and Peabody 38-26, all but English away from home. Next we journeyed to Lynn Classical where we lost in a hard fought battle 48-42. For Law¬ rence, Tommy Ruffen and Sig Weissbein were high with 14 and 11 points respectively. After avenging our previous defeat at the hands of Salem, we really went to town, overwhelm¬ ing Gloucester 50-27, to climb into first place, where we stayed for the rest of the season. Johnny Papa- zian, Lawrence’s big center, led the scorers with 15 points. We then invaded Lynn English, and returned home victorious, 39-36. Sam Lopiano, starting his first game, sparked Lawrence with 21 points. Our next two games were runaways, beating Beverly 51-17, and Peabody 60-27, and then came the high point of the season when we met Lynn Classical in a return game and, playing one of our best games of the season, defeated them 32-28. In our last two league games Of the season we met and defeated our arch-rival, Haverhill, 39- 34, and 50-35. By winning the Essex County title, Lawrence won a bid to the Class A Tech Tourney at Boston Garden, with a possibility that the team might become State Champions. Although four of the five who started the season are graduating, hopes are still bright for next year. Those leaving are Captain Steve Perocchi and Sig Weissbein, guards; Johnny Papazian, center, and Tommy Ruffen and Johnnie Fenton, forwards. Sam Lopiano, who split the starting berth with Fen¬ ton, is the only one coming back, but there is some promising material coming up from the second team. These boys also won the second team title, with a record of 13 and 1, losing only to Salem 27- 26, in the first game of the season. Boys who played on the second team were Tommy Petzy, a senior, and Carmen Martelline, Mort Vitale, Stuart Spizer and Don Slycoff, juniors, and the student manager was Billy Kehrnan. The squad was ably handled during the season by Head Coach Mark H. Devlin, Jr., Assistant Coach James F. Jordan, Faculty Manager John W. Kennedy, and Trainer Janies J. Murphy. The seniors wish the team of 1948 the best of luck, and want you to know that we will be rooting for you.

Once again the locals will be tutored by Head Coach Mark H. Devlin and his very capable assistant, James F. Jordan, who devote themselves to teaching the finer points of the game to their pupils in order to produce the championship teams. After twenty-five years at the helm, Coach Devlin can well be proud of the baseball players he has turned out and of the many outstanding teams he has produced. Many of his boys have retained the fundamentals which he taught them and have gone on to star in college circles and in the professional leagues. This year’s team is particularly promising because of the fact that it will have on it all but two boys from last year’s team which won the County title and went on to participate in the Eastern Massachusetts Tourney at Fenway Park, Boston, only to lose out to Wakefield in the first round by a score of 5 to 1. That was the game in which Gerry Callagy, Lawrence’s Ace, pitched his heart out, but it was in a losing cause for the Lawrence team had the misfortune to be batting that day against Les DeMarco, one of the outstanding hurlers in the State. Back from last year’s starting nine will be Dick Hickey, catcher; Capt. Tom Ruffen, 1st base; Johnny Dean, 2nd base; Ed Kershaw, shortstop; Ed Samra, 3rd base; George Veilleux, centerfield; Jim McGregor, rightfield; Gerry Callagy, pitcher. The two boys who will be lost through graduation are Ray Palmegiano, hard-hitting leftfielder, and reliable Bill Brady, pitcher. Back playing first base will be Captain Tom Ruffen. Tom last year did a great job in the field and was very potent as a batter. This year he should be one of the most feared batters in the league. He has just completed a season as high-scorer on the basketball team, and he also quarterbacked the eleven in the fall. Second base will be well covered by diminutive Johnny Dean. Johnny is a sure-fisted fielder, and he is also expected to compile a lusty batting average this season. Once more Eddie Kershaw will patrol the shortfield position. Eddie always fields his position well and has a great arm. He is also noted for his ability to come through in a tight spot with a hit. Down at the hot-corner Eddie Samra once more will be stationed. Eddie can handle anything that comes his way and is the possessor of one of the best arms in the league. He can hit a long ball. Starting his third year as the regular center fielder will be Georgie Veilleux. Georgie is the spark plug of the team. He can always be depended upon to come through with a base hit and is just about the fastest man on the bases in the league. He is a great defensive fielder and can bunt with the best of them. In right field will be Jim McGregor. Jim is a converted pitcher and along with being a very good outfielder, he is also a very poAverful hitter. He can also be counted on to pitch a good game of ball. Left field will be taken care of by either Emil Witkiewicz, A1 Forgione, John Fenton, or Fred Connors. Behind the bat Dick Hickey will once again be available to handle the slants of the pitchers. He has a very good arm, can call signals well, and quite often breaks up a tight ball game with a timely hit. The mound staff this year will be composed mainly of two boys, Gerry Callagy and Dick Kowal¬ ski. Gerry, the last of the famous Callagys, bore the brunt of the pitching chores last season, and he did a wonderful job. He very rarely was beaten, and when he did go down to defeat, it was through no fault of his own. He has a sharp-breaking curve and a good fast ball among many other pitches. Gerry also wields a powerful bat. He will be Lawrence’s chief hope in retaining the County title. Also ready to take his turn on the mound will be Dick Kowalski, who won many victories last season for the locals. He has a terrific fast ball and a rubber arm. Last summer he was picked to rep¬ resent the Lawrence area in an All-Star game played at Fenway Park. He did a great job and caught the eye of Billy South worth, Manager of the Boston Braves. Dick also is being counted on to again con¬ tribute his share of wins. Ready to assist these two boys will be Joe Waisgerber and Edison Marini. Of course there will be the usual group of candidates striving to break into the lineup, but those mentioned comprise the probable team that will face the opposition during the 1947 season. Here’s wishing them good luck and hoping that they not only capture the County title, but that they also continue their winning ways and gain the distinction of being champions of the State of Massachu¬ setts By John E.

Roland Trignani in the broad jump and high jump, Frank Foucher in the hurdles and 1000, Frank Kothman in the broad jump and hurdles, Don Mathews and George Veilleux in the dash and 300, Don Sanderson in the shot put, and Bob Ryley in the 600, assured Lawrence of a good showing in every event. In our first meet of the year our opponent was Medford High. Medford had been victorious in three previous meets and brought a strong team. Trignani and Kothman gave Lawrence a first and second in the standing broad jump. Then Foucher and Kothman placed first and second, respectively, in the hurdles, increasing our lead over the Medford boys. Foucher won the 1000, while McGurren cap¬ tured third place. Ryley came in second in the 600, as Sanderson and Childs took first and second in the shot put. Then Trignani tied for first place in the high jump, and, even though Medford won the relay, Lawrence High had its first win of the season, 43 to 34. Our second meet was with the Andover Jayvees. Foucher took first place in the hurdles, and Kothman took third, getting the team off to a good start. Veilleux won both the dash and 300, and Mathews took second in the dash. Then the 1000 was won by Foucher, while Ryley ran second in the 600. To complete the scoring Trignani and Foucher were tied for first in the high jump, and Sanderson took second in the shot put. Andover won the re ay, but suffered defeat at the hands of Lawrence by the score of 38 to 30. The following week Lawrence was one of the many schools which participated in the Northeastern Meet at the Boston Garden. Frank Foucher, though he ran the fastest 1000 of his high school career, came in second. He also took a second in the hurdles, giving Lawrence 6 points for the meet. Next came the most difficult and most exciting meet of the year. Lynn Classical was out to avenge her loss to Lawrence by one point in last year’s outdoor season. George Veilleux, because of illness, was unable to compete in track for the remainder of the season. Trignani and Kothman again taking first and second in the broad jump, and Foucher and Kothman running first and second in the hurdles gave Lawrence a big lead. This lead, however, was cut down when Classical made a clean sweep in the dash, although Mathews took third in the 300. Then Foucher won the 1000, and Sanderson took first in the shot put. Ryley was spiked on the final lap of the 600, and again had to be content with second. Then came the high jump, the deciding factor of the meet. Trignani, Foucher, Koth¬ man, and Zemis all tied for first place, and Lawrence had the nine points necessary for the victory. The relay went to Lynn, but again Lawrence was victo ions by one point, 39 to 38. A few members of the team again traveled to Boston, this time for the State Meet. Frank Fou¬ cher and Frank Kothman, turning in stellar performances, finished third and fourth in the hurdles. Foucher’s three-way tie for fourth place in the high jump completed the Lawrence scoring at 3 Vs points. In our next duel meet we ran against the Andover Jayvees for the second time. Foucher again won the hurdles and the 1000, while Kothman was second in the hurdles and third in the dash. Mathews won the dash and took second in the 300. Then Ryley took first place in the 600, and thus won his first race. “Sandy’s” second in the shot put and Trignani’s win in the high jump ended the scoring. Again the Jayvees were defeated, this time 37 to 26. A few days later Lawrence met Somerville, the last real threat on our schedule. Foucher, taking first in the 1000 and hurdles, gave Lawrence its only wins in the running events. Kothman captured second in the broad jump, the hurdles, and the dash, while McGurren came through with a third in the hurdles. Then “Trigger” won the broad jump and was tied for first with Foucher in the high jump. First place in the shot put went to Sanderson, while Mathews was second in the 300, and Ryley took third place in the 600. Even after Somerville had won the relay, Lawrence still had its fifth straight win 42 to 35. [ 123 ] The last indoor duel meet of the season was run with our traditional rival, Lowell. Mathews, having his best day of the year, won both the dash and 300, and also took third in the broad jump. Bill Barr by his be st 300 of the year took second place. Foucher won the hurdles and 1000, and Trignani won the broad jump. Then Ryley won his second 600, while “Koffey” again took second in the broad jump, the dash, and the hurdles. Sanderson won the shot put, and Fred Childs, regaining his old form, took second. Trignani and Foucher did not compete in the high jump, but Edison Marini cap¬ tured second place. Lowell’s win in the relay did not save them from a drubbing by a score of 54 to 22. As a reward for their fine work Frank Foucher, Roland Trignani, Frank Kothman, Don Sander¬ son, Don Mathews, and Bob Ryley traveled to Brunswick, Maine for the Bowdoin Interscholastic Meet. Frank Foucher received the trophy for the high scorer of the meet because of his brilliant per¬ formance in winning the 1000 and taking second in the running broad jump and hurdles. Don Sander¬ son was second in the shot put with his best put of the year, and Frank Kothman took fourth in the hurdles. This gave Lawrence 15 points and first place among 24 schools from all over New England along with the distinction of being the first team in the history of the high school to win the Bowdoin Meet. Thus Lawrence ended its 1947 indoor track season with a team undefeated in duel meets. Frank Foucher and Roland Trignani were both undefeated during the whole season. With all the boys who made indoor track so successful returning for outdoor track the outlook is very bright. The boys who received their letters were: Captain Roland Trignani, Frank Foucher, Frank Kothman, Bob -Ryley George Veilleux, Don Mathews, Don Sanderson, Fred Childs, Bill Barr, Edison Marini, and the student manager, Kenneth Sanford. Much praise should be given to Mr. Perry, Mr. Kennedy, and all the trackmen of Lawrence High for the splendid season of 1947. Kenneth Sanford [ 124 ] CANDID CAMERA SHOTS 1 . Are they good, kids? 7.

We Seniors, leave to the Freshmen, our knack of always being in hot water and our sure fire arguments for getting out of it. To the football, basketball, baseball and track teams of the years to come, we leave an outstanding record of success, attained by the teamwork and top ability of our “47” athletes. To those who succeed us as Sage Seniors we leave our love of homework which we never did, and our disgust at so many holidays. To Mr. O’Leary and the faculty we leave our thanks, already expressed, along with a life of com¬ parative ease and comfort. With all these things behind us, we depart from L. H. S. with a host of fond memories. Therefore since we have given all that we have (and much that we have not) I proclaim this our last will and testament. I humbly offer my apologies to the class of ’47 for the references made here about them. My apologies herewith are also offered to the world of journalism. It is my sincere hope it will outlive the shock suffered from this Class Will. Thus in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and forty- seven, I, in behalf of the Senior Class, do affix my signature to this will. James J. Kiley, Class of 1947 [ 129 ] History of The Class of 1947 We breathed a peaceful sigh when the realization came to us, “We were freshmen at last.” No more grammar school, we were finally in high school. We wondered what it would be like, new teachers, new studies, and most important of all, new friends, some of whom are our bosom friends today. What a grand and glorious feeling to be in high school, we were growing up, we were “Freshmen”. Now as I look back I can remember how we were the first days of our Freshman year. It was terrifying to us, not being able to find our rooms, and the home¬ work—“Gee, I bet we’ll get piles and piles.” “What am I going to do about Latin?” Well, anyway, after a month or so, we became adjusted. We felt like real troopers. Soon the football season opened and despite the fact we lost both games at Haverhill and Lowell, we thought our team was the best in the world. Then came Christmas, and after a marvelous week’s vacation we returned to school. The basket¬ ball season opened with our own Steve Perocchi, Tommy Ruffen, Ted Kershaw, Johnnie Fenton, and Bill Canty making their debut. They played some swell games. In March the baseball team, for the second consecutive year, won the Essex County League Championship, and went into the State Championship, and no wonder with Emil Witkiewicz, Jimmy Mc¬ Gregor, Dick Hickey, Jack Donovan, and Johnny Iannazzo playing for us. June seemed to sneak up on us, and it was finally our summer vacation. We were ready to be sophomores, and what thrilled us most of all was the fact that we were to enter the big building. SOPHOMORE YEAR When we entered school on the morning of Sep¬ tember 6, 1944, we were bewildered and wide-eyed at the sight of the numerous rooms, and lockers. “How would we ever remember our room numbers?” That’s what bothered us most, but the Juniors and Seniors just laughed at us and said “You’ll get used to it.” And we did, we became one of the gang as the months flew past. On Thanksgiving Day our good old team won over Lowell, and we were the happiest kids around town. At the last quarter of the game, we were chewing our nails in desperation as the score was 12-12. Then finally a Junior, namely Ray Palmigeano, known to us as “Punchy”, made an extra point and that was the game. Oh how happy we were that day. Some of the kids who were Sophomores who did a fine job, and made us feel very proud. They were: Tom Petzy, Johnny Papazian, Ray Peterson, Dick Jacobs, Lonnie Callagy and Roland Belanger. That year, our fine basketball team went to Lynn and won the big General Electric Tournament. Our own Franny Kivell was elected captain of the basket¬ ball team. The spring months sprang up fast, and April whizzed upon us before we knew it. Our baseball team did a good job, and we were very proud by winning in the Essex County League for the third consecutive year. When the Junior-Senior Prom came round we were oh, so envious while the Juniors and Seniors prepared for it with anxiety and glee. At last June arrived and we had finished two years of high school. Only two more to go, what a feeling! JUNIOR YEAR After a wonderful summer vacation we returned to school as Juniors. The year began with our own Wally Lebowitz, Doris Witzgall, Shirley Keleher, Bertha Hughes and Norma Silverman being appointed on the staff of the Lawrencian. A fine job was done by all. The Thanksgiving game was called off on account of rain, but it was played a few days later. Even though we were defeated by Lowell with a score of 14-7, our football team still rated “tons” with us. And remember one night when a whole gang of us met in the common for two consecutive nights and almost had a strike? If it hadn’t been for Bill Willett and a few other courageous Juniors we never would have the added privileges we have today. That year we were lucky enough to have a few chosen from our class as cheerleaders. They were: Emil Witkiewicz, Barbara Berry, Bertha Hughes, and Ted Kershaw. They were honored with a big banquet at the end of the season. The basketball season began, but we lost a great player when our own Captain Franny Kivell joined the Navy. Despite this fact we played some swell games. Time marched on, endlessly, and it was summer aga ' n. A group of us went down to the beach that summer, and when we returned in September, we were anxious to start school. It was almost September, and we were Seniors. SENIOR YEAR “Whew” came from most of us, as we finally realized we were Seniors at last. It didn’t seem possible, but it was true, we were in our last year in high schoo l. Things started off with a “bang”, our football team won both games at Haverhill and Lowell and that meant they would have their pictures placed on the wall of dear L. H. S. What a football season, and what a team! Wally Lebowitz was chosen as Editor of the Lawrencian, and Peg Kennedy, Shirley Keleher, and Bertha Hughes as Associate Editors. Jean Chengarian was elected Circulation Manager, and Ruth Cushing Secretary-Treasurer. Our class was the first to have all-girl cheer¬ leaders, chosen by Miss Shine and Miss Bruce, and I might add they did a marvelous job, and no wonder with Mary Jane Simon as their leader. The Senior Officers’ Election took place and Emil Witkiewicz was chosen President, Tommy Ruffen Vice-President, and Shirley Keleher Secretary-Treas¬ urer. Three wonderful kids who did a successful job as our officers. The basketball season started with Steve Perocchi as Captain and may we add one of the star players. This year we held our first annual banquet which was a tremendous success under the management of Steve Ferocchi and Roland Belanger. [ 130 ] During our Senior Year various clubs sprang up between us boys and girls. They were the S. A. P. Club, the 4S Club, the D. C. Boys, G. S. U. Club. We had great times feuding and planning to outwit one another, but it was all in fun. We also had a grand time planning for the Junior- Senior Prom and the gym decorations. The Senior Prom will always be one of the greatest and grandest nights of our lives. Although during our four years of high school, we were waiting for the great night to come when we were to go out into the world to seek our futures. we were resentful when the realization came to us that we were to leave L. H. S. forever. We must admit we had grand, glorious times in school, and memories we shall cherish for a long time. When the big night finally arrived and we were all assembled in the traditional caps and gowns, our hearts swelled as we sang our school song. There even were tears in many a face as we walked off the field with our heads high in proud assurance that behind us we had left the most important, happiest years of our lives. These glorious years we shall never forget. RUTH CUSHING. PROPHECY Class of 1947 Last night I found myself transported into the future, viewing with wonder, the fortunes of the class of “forty-seven.” I was lying comfortably in bed gazing up at the moon, when something very strange occurred. A figure slid down a moonbeam, through my window, and landed right at my feet. I hadn’t believed in fairy tales since I was in kindergarten, and I have always doubted miracles, but unless this was a fanciful creation of my own tired overworked brain, it was most certainly one or the other of the aforementioned. Because this intruder was Aladdin with his magic lamp. In his ancient garb, Aladdin seemed a bit frigh¬ tening, but when he began to talk to me in a most modern way, and made promise after promise of all the wonderful things he was going to do for me, I lost my fear and went along with him. Out of the window, right up the moonbeam, and we were off on an unusual journey. Aladdin was about to present to me, short scenes in the future lives of my fellow classmates of 1947. Our first stop was Hollywood, California, where Aladdin wished to show me those among us who had attained fame and fortune in the entertainment world. We were iust in time for the “sneak” preview of one of Hollywood’s newest and most sensational produc¬ tions. It was a heartbreaking drama, starring Ted Kershaw, latest movie idol, Hilda Martin, the sultry, glamourous newcomer to the screen, and featuring Bob Seddon who won the hearts of every fan with h,is “just the guy next-door” personality. The story had been written by novelist Ruth Cushing, and was her third consecutive smash hit in two years. From Graughman’s Chinese theatre where the preview had been held, Aladdin and his magic brought me to the Hollywood Bowl where a capacity crowd was listening raptlv to Doris Bowen,, great concert pianist, deliver her latest composition, It was a beau¬ tiful melody, destined to be as long lived as the songs of Stephen Foster. Appearing at the bowl that same night was a popular dance team, the rage of the season. Witzgall and Ruffen, who had put Astaire and Hayworth out of business the minute they hit Holly¬ wood. By a bit of eavesdropping, T managed tb learn that Emile Witkiewicz had made a fortune as their manager, and had just bought a beautiful twelve room mansion in Beverly Hills for his wife and family. In the audience I spied Shirley Makerawicz dressed in minks. She was Doris Bowen’s private secretary and was doing well for herself running around town with the playboys. Also in moviedom were Ginny Hancock, Peggy Gaffney, Don Boardman and Joe Bouchard all working on Screen Stars Mag¬ azine. Ginny was editor. Peg the star columnist while Don and Joe held positions as photographer and publicity agent respectively. And I thought it was hard to crash Hollywood. It just goes to show you what a class the forty-seveners were. Before leaving sunny California, we visited beau¬ tiful Malibu Beach, playground of the socialites. There on the golden sands, in a luscious white bathing suit, Corrine Waite played beach ball with her millionaire husband. I didn’t recognize him, but further along the beach a tall, handsome, blonde, glanced at Corrine with recognition. As he began to walk toward her, I realized he was Bob Woodburn who had become a sensational jazz pianist almost overnight. Bob com¬ posed most of his own numbers and smashed them out in such gTamorous places as New York’s Club 21 and Hollywood’s famous Palladium. At this minute we said goodbye to the West Coast and the many Lawrencisiis I was so delighted to find there. . ' ‘ r- r A whisk of Alladin’s bejeweled hand over the miraculous lamp, and we were eastward bound—to New York, the glittering l ghts of Broadway, the rush and bustle of Times Square—and more classmates. On the cover of Nel Bonyorno’s fashion magazine, Kay Keenan modeled the latest in bathing suits. On page ten Shirley Keleher displayed the fashion news from “Gay Paris”. In the beauty column Peggv Kennedy’s picture advertised the best way to beautiful hair. An ad read “Paris and New York originals may he obtained at the exclusive Fifth Avenue dress shop of Eun’qe (Joaquin) and Patricia (Sweeney). At the Laguardia Airport in charming Hostess uniforms, Betty Sull ' van. Shirley Gidlev, Ruth Fleischmann, Clare Sargent, Isabel Todhunter, and, Terry Bergeron kept the,.passengers happy on trios and the pilots happy on Saturday nights. All of L. H. S.’s most beautiful were doing well in the big city. Thb 1 entire sport page of the New York Herald Tribune was dedicated to the big Army-Notre Dame game. Written by John Donovan as reported by [131 ] Franny Derby, the account was being read by avid fans all over the country. Army, captained by Roland Belanger, and lead by such great football players as Perocchi, Callagy and Silva had gone down in glorious defeat under the Notre Dame onslaught. The winning team was captained by Kalitka and favored by the excellent playing of fellows like Sanderson, Veilleux, Jacobs and Iannazzo. The men of the victorious Blue and White were carrying on in greener fields, keeping up the wonderful teamwork which had made them a credit to their Alma Mater. In the same paper, Sally Walton’s society column carried accounts of what the debs were doing. Charm¬ ing Barbara Berry, now the wife of the captain of Army’s football team was giving a reception the following Sunday night at her Long Island home, for both the Army and Notre Dame teams. She had recently discovered that several of the players had attended school together in previous years. Expected at the reception were two prominent members of the same graduating class. John Fenton, now a famous banker, and Bertha Hughes who had become nation¬ ally known as a great criminal lawyer, had both accepted Barbara’s invitation. It seemed that after a separation of years Barbara had met John and Bertha while dining at Simon’s select French restau¬ rant, just off Times Square. Simon’s was noted for its excellent food and its widely known singing waitres¬ ses, Lena Khoury, Jo Facella, Ruth Hetu, Helen Misserv.lle and Rosemary Hatem. The girls greeted guests at the door singing French songs, led by the very personable proprietress, Mary Jane Simon her¬ self. The sight of so many of my former friends and classmates made me a little homesick for the old familiar places where our high school lives had be en carried on—Essex Street, the Puritan, and of course, the high school itself. Friend Alladin promised that after a short stopover in Boston we would complete our trip on old home ground. First there was some¬ thing very special happening in St. Paul’s Cathedral, Boston that we shouldn’t miss. We arrived at the Cathedral just as the first beautiful strains of the wedding march poured through the doors out onto the street. A breathless quiet fell over the church and expectant faces turned to watch Jean Knapton in a lovely old-fashioned gown of white, walk sol¬ emnly down the aisle to meet the tall blonde Army man waiting for her at the altar. The wedding party was composed of a few of the bride’s relatives and some people I didn’t recognize. The reception after¬ ward was really an event. Not only were a number of ’forty-seveners there, but the food was served by Jim Kiley’s Catering Service, the best in the state. Among the old classmates were Dick Hickey and Franny Kivell, news reporters for one of Boston’s leading papers, Bud Henning who had recently become well established as a lawyer, Yvonne Arrag whb was working toward her doctor’s degree, Anne Murphy who had left her nursing career to marry, and Gene Shea and Eleanor Franz who had gone into the cleaning and dyeing business as partners and were making a fortune. The most talked about event at the reception, was the story of how Pat Kenneth, Joan Maloney, Carol Schlott and Barbara Morgan had deserted civili¬ zation and ventured into the deep African jungles to trap animals for the Ringling Brothers circus. The music of the orchestra drowned out the whys and wherefores of the situation, but I imagine it was the nervewracking experience of being salesgirls during the Christmas Rush in their high school days, that inspired them to it. What else could weary such sweet girls of human relationships to such a drastic extent? The orchestra which had deprived me of such an enticing piece of gossip, was playing a number I had never heard before. I turned my attention to it, and imagine my surprise when I discovered it was Diana Debuschere and her all girl orchestra. In this famous orchestra were Carol Gruschek, Dot Crowe, Pat Hannon, Lillian Roy and singer, Virginia Ryan. I would have liked to hear them play more, but time was short, and already Aladdin was whispering his magic words and rubbing his shiny bright lamp. We were off to Lawrence. Essex Street hadn’t changed at all. “We’ll just wait in the Puritan” Aladdin decided “and we’ll get all the news that’s important.” Yes, there was the old meeting place still standing even without the support of the gay “forty-seveners”. We were there only a minute, when Mona Labonte bounced in, fol¬ lowed by the more sedate Marie Donovan. Mona was wearing a beautiful sparkling diamond. She and Marie, both on the faculty at L. H. S., were discussing Mona’s coming marriage. Her only regret it seems, was that she would be leaving her gym classes in the middle of the rhumba, a difficult position, Marie agreed. Just then, Betty Tinch rushed in to have a coke. She was in a terrific hurry as her positoin in the Bay State Merchants Bank and her side job of selling orange squeezers took up all her time. She sympathized with Mona but had no time to offer a solution to the problem. However, she did have time to impart the thrilling news that Jo Sabattino had been chosen Miss America for the year, a fact, which when we remembered Jo, didn’t sur prise us in the least. Betty also left a letter for them to read. It was from her two sidekicks, Ida Guerin and Clare Callahan who were vacationing in Florida spending the money they had made in their own cosmetic company. They reported seeing Arthur Lidstone (who still couldn’t see any future in working for a living) at the best places with the best families, and he appeared to have done exceptionally well at his own race track. I didn’t hear any more of this because who should happen to walk by but Bunny Taylor and her twins, Bunny and Billy Jr. Bunny had married soon after she graduated, and now she was enjoying domestic life living in her own bungalow in North Andover. . aV In our short stay in the Puritan we saw Irene Medveki, Dot Kirsch, Jimmy Broadhurst, Teddy Tahan, Eddie Donovan, Arthur Kelly, Roland Trig- nan’. Frank Foucher, William Stewart, Chris Lynch, Connie Harrington, Jerry Johnson, Jack Barry, Chris Riordan, Joan Baker, Mona Richter, Joan Mirfield, Ruth Eno, and too many others to record here. They all seemed to be doing well in their respective careers, though they were still the same happy-go-lucky bunch they had been for four short sweet years at L. H. S. Now it was time to go. The bewitched lamp brought me back tumbling down the moonbeam right into my own bedroom again. Then as I lav in bed this time with the sound of endearing voices still echoing in my ears, I at last believed the old saying, “Your High School Days Are Your Happiest.” MARY MARGARET SHEA [ 132 ] ' SSvm ‘aoxaaAYYa ONicnma sjlvas Ava — aooaa v z x iva aAixvaaao-oa aixNvaxv ao sAxaKruKoo ' ssyw ‘aoxaaAVYa xaaa xs aoNaaMva iz iMva aAixvaaao-oa aaMamva ao sxNamaaMOO ssym ‘aoxaaAvva A33HJ.S X3SS3 f9Z iMva aAixvaaao-oa ovMaaaw ao siNawridHoo 133H1S X3SS3 22t jauin?i [ X isaaAiufi js 0 j.reuis 0nx ui sauossaaDy puB san oo s 4 U0j [ Sunox oj XpAisnpxg Siiu0jB3 03 SA.3XLLHV; VIV f H ' SSVW ' NO.T.SOfI xaaaxs NOisaAoa ssi saaHdvaooxoHd aoaaaoo cinv looms 3MI Old!
