FRANCES ANNE KEMBLE 0l'6VVOlCl . ' 'f This V947 Arrow is new, new in layout, new in idea, lt presents more and better pictures in more and better ways, and a light-hearted, compact text. Why? Because we teel that a general intormality expresses the Class ot l947 as honestly as past volumes may have represented their Seniors. lt it is gay, it is because Commencement is gay, and means tor so many the end ot school and the beginning ot a great adventure. Yet who can deny the sobriety in Commencement, and the deep teeling that now- each graduate starts on his way to what he hopes will be recognized success someday, that from now on, even more than in the past, tailures must be received and remembered as incentives tor improvement? The goal reached may not be perfection, and the world's commendation may pass some or all by, but all can have the immense satistaction ot honest, earnest worla. They can have the satistaction ot striving tor a sincere, contributive duality in all they do, thinking ot groups betore individuals, ot world betore country, ot God betore man. l-lere, then, gay on the surtace, sober underneath, is the Class ot l947.

Perhaps it was because we were an extremely large class that we were classitied as good-on the whole-but somewhat talkative . We giuickly set about electing our lone repre- sentative and chose Jimmy Allen to detend our rights on the Student Council. As the novelty ot going to high school wore ott and we settled into the routine of homework, a teature which even then we thought could be dispensed with, we began to look forward to the next year when we could watch seventh graders going through what we had gone through, As eighth graders, we chose Allison Childs tor our Student Council representative and then sat back in the home rooms ot Miss l-lowland and Miss Martin to wait tor the day when we would reach the beginning ot the journey to senior-dom. At our tirst class meeting as treshmen we put our reputation on a solid foundation. l-lowever, through the pandemonium we managed to choose Mr. Bond tor our class adviser, Joe Mastriano as president, Bev Tucker as vice-president, Jane l-lull as secre- tary and Ann Fowler as treasurer. Jimmy Allen was elected to Student Council. This year our home rooms were in the charge ot Mr, Bond and Mrs Connors, who was later succeeded by Mr. Skaite, The big thrill ot the year was our tirst class 34 l-lOME ROOM 28 party, as always the best , and when June came we decided that our freshman year had been an outstanding success, Now we were champing at the bit to prove we could do it again. Of course we had nothing to do with it, but when we returned as Sophomores we found that Mr, Bond had left and we were faced with choosing a new adviser. Joe Mastriano and Robert Stevenson transferred to La Salle and Country Day respectively, and Francis Alisio moved to Philadelphia, leaving our class a little smaller in number but with as big a spirit as ever. Mr. O'Connor took over the job of adviser, while Jack Doyle stepped in as president. Bev Tucker was again elected vice-president with Shirley Nagle as secretary and Lucia l-larvie as treasurer. We chose Nancy Tanner, Ann Fowler, and Jack Doyle for Student Council. This year the sophomore class had its headquarters in Mr. Pickering's and Mrs. l-lathaway's home rooms, Our party was another first in the Peck social season. With the thought that next year we would be next to the top, we passed the remaining weeks quickly by and spent the summer storing up energy to keep us going in our usual high gear. When we came back Mr. O'Connor was still going strong, but so were we. Competition at class meetings was keenl With our usual vim, vigor and vitality we elected Buddy St. Germaine, president, Dick Viall, vice president, lrene McCann, secretary, and Carol l.inehan, treasurer. This year we had two addi- tions to our class in the forms of Priscilla Blount and Patt Cooper, but we also lost Franklin Arnold to Country Day. Mr. Pickering's old home room moved into Mrs l'lathaway's room to replace the other half of the class which had transferred to Miss Barton's room. 35 All year long we worked to the tune ot Next year we'll be seniorsl and put our energy to doing the dirty work ot the senior class, such as soliciting Arrow ads and making Prom decorations. As time went by, we began to realize that the dream ot all underclassmen was tast becoming a reality, and almost betore we knew it we were at the top-We were actually SENIORSU This was the year to do things. And do we did. We speedily elected our otticersf--Dick Viall, president, lack Doyle, vice presi- dent, Barbara Darezzo, secretary, Carol Linehan, treasurer, and Lucia l-larvie, chairman ot the social committee. For our Student Council representatives we chose Nancy Tanner, Ann Fowler, Jimmy Allen, and Roy Bailey. Mr, O'Connor had also departed for places elsewhere, so we chose Miss Barton to keep us straight on the path ot graduation. ln the tall, commencement seemed a long way ott, even when we got that strictly senior privilegeea day ott to have our pictures taken Now, however, with com- mencement looming up right before us, we're all stopping to think how much we owe to Peck. But we would like to say, We're grateful to you, Peck--your teachers and your students-tor having started us oft with wondertul memories and wondertul hopes.

Morrill, Football Barrington l-ligh's pre-season tootball pros- pects looked encouraging with the return ot six old timers including ex-Seabee, Gus Raponi, who was elected co-captain with Jack Doyle. But from the very beginning the team seemed to be haunted by a jinx that made it a season ot rough sledding. Nevertheless, the record ot the team was no discredit, tor, although the boys in the Blue and Gold went down in many a deteat, they showed that they had the stuff to take it with a smile and in a true sporting spirit. The tirst blow to the team came in the opening game ot the season with Gorton, when captain Jack Doyle received a dislocated elbow that put him on the bench tor the rest ot the season. Yet, despite the loss ot their captain, the Blue and Gold-clad team, greatly out-weighed by the Gorton eleven, played a creditable game from beginning to end. The second discouraging blow came in the North Kingstown game when l.inc Shepperton received a broken leg. l-lere again, the team, although shaken by the loss ot its pacemaker Shepperton, showed its spirit, coming back into the game and halting a last minute North Kingstown rally. Barrington's biggest upset of the season came when Warren defeated them i2-6 with a pass play that netted the winning touchdown in the last 30 seconds of the game, It was the first time in 4 years that Warren had defeated its county rival. Before De La Salle, Barrington fell to a similar fate when, with less than 20 seconds left to play, De La Salle pushed over the winning touchdown. Although battered 33-l2 by Burrillville, the boys in the Blue and Gold staged their best battle of the season. ln the second period Charlie Staton started an B5 yard touchdown drive that terminated with Sammy Viall pitching the payoff pass to l-lerbie Degnan. Again in the last quarter, with 4th down and lS to go, Sammy Viall shuffled 29 yards through the Broncos, falling 2 yards short of pay dirt. On the next play, Joe Chianese scored mere seconds before the final whistle, On Thanksgiving Day, after holding Colt to a scoreless tie for two periods, the Blue and Gold went down l9-O, Barrington was honored with 3 All-Suburban team positions-Gus Raponi winning first string guard, and Joe Pezzullo and Jack Barnes taking honorable mention at tackle and center, Barrington ...... ............

The Junior High team met the St. Andrews Middlers twice during the season, defeating them i3-6 and Zi -l2. Playing under the floodlights of the Seekonk Auto Arena, a new experience for the Barrington Junior High- sters, the Seekonk Junior team was defeated in two games by scores of i4-7 and 7-O. Aldrich Junior High gave the Barrington youngsters their toughest battle in a game that dead- locked 7-7, Among the young starsthat spearheaded the Junior High attack was heavy-scoring Jimmy Nagle, who played fullback on the offense and end on the defense. John Chianese, the Junior Highsters ace kicker and punter, set a fine record placing eight out of nine conversion kicks between the uprights during the season. John Gaines, on passing, and Dave Carter, on running, were the pacemaking pair in the back- field, while in the line Fred, Kenney at end and Eddie Pezzullo at guard were the keystones.

Vmall, Mr. Arnold Rasmussen, Basketball Barringtons swish kids really went to town on the Class C competition this year The Blue and Gold started ott by beating Classical by lB points and didn't let up till the end of the season when they were defeated by Colt lor the Class C Championship. , lt was evident trom the tirst away game that we were not at our best on the away courts though wa were unbeaten on our own tloor, Our tirst close game was at Sacred l-leart which developed into an overtime and kept all the spectators on the edges ot their seats, ln the overtime the entire team showed that they had the ability to win when the chips were down, with a sparkling exhibition ot ball-handling. North Kingstown was the next game and played at Kingstown, This was another close one and also turned into an overtime, This time it was even closer than before, and Jack Doyle con- verted two toul shots to tie up the score 37 all. In the overtime period Barrington again came through 'triumphantly scoring B points in three minutes. Coventry was next on the schedule, at Coventry, and there was a little speculation as to the outcome of this game, on the basis ot Barrington's record ot the away games. Many expected it to turn into another overtime and although it didn't, the margin was only a slim 4 points. South Kingstown, our old rival, was our next victim, This was on their own court at Peace- dale, and though S. K. didn't have the team that they have had in tormer years, the Blue and Gold just sguealqed by 27-25 Our next hotly- contested game was with the quintet from across the river, none other than our old neighbor, Warren, ln this game Barrington, although highly favored won by only 2 points, At this point, the most important game ot the season came up--our game with Colt Mem- orial, at Colt. Previous to this, Barrington had beaten Colt by a score ot 32-27 at Barrington But it was telt that Colt had not been playing its best ball that night, and thus, the teams were considered to be evenly matched. Tickets were so scarce they were drawn out ot a hat, and scalpers were getting as much as S5 tor a ticket to the game, lt was everything that a basketball game should be, and although the Barrington tive lost their tirst game ot the season, the team also played one ot their best games, The Blue and Gold wound up the season by winning two more games and tying Colt tor the Class C Championship, lt was decided that the two teams would play ott at the City Gym in Providence, This was done tor two reasons. Une was to provide a gym with a greater seating capacity, and another was to have both teams play on a neutral court. lvluch interest was displayed in the game not only because ot the championship at stake but because it was telt that it would be a tight to the tinish . Barrington, however, lost to Colt 37-25, in a red hot game. Colt deserves credit tor the tine game that they played and although Barrington lost, the whole team played excellent ball, This game just about wound up the basket- ball season except tor the state tournament. Barrington lost to a highly tavored Class A teamelle La Salle ot Newport, The Blue and Gold played their best brand ot ball, but they were definitely out-classed. The entire team deserves credit tor the fine job it did all season and although Barrington did not guite make the championship, it was perhaps one ot the most closely contested basketball seasons ever on record, and one to be remembered, Barrington Barrington .......,.... ...........,.

Cross Country RHODE ISLAND CLASS B STATE CHAMPIONS The Blue and Gold harriers for the second consecutive year captured the Rhode Island Class B State Championship title and added another season to its two-year-old record of being un- defeated in dual meets. Coach Ainsworth, who took over Skip O'Connor's position when he transferred to Concord, Massachusetts, proved himself a worthy successor and in spite of many handicaps developed his boys into the most for- midable team Barrington has seen in the three years it has participated in cross country. Joel Tobey, captain of the IQ44 team, who returned from Cleveland, Ohio, was the spear- head of Barrington's strength. Joel, consistently taking first place in all his meets, won the Class B individual champion title, took a seventh in the New England Championships, and earned fourth position on first team All-State and first position on the All Class B team. Of Barrington's five consistent scorers, four earned positionslon All State or All Class B teams, a goal unapproached by previous Bs l-I, S. teams, Captain Roy Bailey, who clung to Tobey's heels to hold the team's number two position, earned lOth place All State team and 4th place All Class B. l-lenry Potter, l945 captain, earned 7th place All Class B, while Davis I-loward took 9th spot All Class B, Alden Marshall, although he did not earn an All-Class position, was a mainstay of the team and deserves credit for his spirit and stamina, ln the opening meet of the season the B. l-l, S. hill and dalers knocked off an undefeated East Providence team, taking lst, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and l2th places in the order of Tobey, Bailey, Mar- shall, l-loward, and Potter. The Blue and Gold took its second victim, North Providence, on the Victory Field course when Tobey and Bailey finished first in a dead heat, followed by Marshall lfll, Howard l6l, and Munroe llOl. ln their first state competition the harriers, led again by Tobey, romped to easy victory over Moses Brown, Woonsocket, and South King- stown in the Burton Race of the Cross Country Carnival. Following Tobey were Bailey l3l, Potter i6l, Marshall l7i, and l-loward C-Bl. ln the Class B title race the team finished in this order: Tobey ll l, Bailey l2l, Potter i7l, Marshall llOl, and l-loward ll2i. ln the New England's Tournament, they placed Sth among 26 schools, taking 7th place, Tobey, 20th, Bailey, 53rd, Howard, 5-4th, Potter, and 65th, Marshall, in a field of 2lO runners.

The Blue and Gold, lacking depth except in the torty yard dash in which Dean, Wahl and DeSisto swept 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places, captured its title with individual strength, ln the last tour events ot the meet the Ainsworth men rolled up 20 points taking tour tirst places: Joe DeSisto in the BOO, Frank Wahl in the 600, Joel Tobey in the lOOO. In the l lap relay, the team composed ot Ted Cannonball Dean, Paul Darling, Joel Tobey, and Joe DeSisto set a new record l 2l9,4, lflO ot a second under the old Barrington record set last year. At the beginning ot the season in the State Relay Carnival, however, Barrington had a harder time ot it, tinishing in a 2l-2l deadlock with Classical. Barrington, with a team made up ot Ted Dean, Paul Darling, Joe DeSisto and Frank Wahl, took tirst place in the l lap relay, setting a new record ot l 3202. Tony Lombardi, Frank Palumbo, Roy Bailey, and Joel Tobey in the medley relay, and Jerry Buclcless, Eddie Tarte, Ernest Mercer, and Al Marshall in the 2 mile relay took seconds, while in the l mile relay, the l lap team just missed taking tirst when Frank Wahl, atter vyhittling a l5 yard lead, tinished hardly an inch behind Joyce ot Classical, Bob Carter's high jumping performance was the sensation ot the Carnival.

Soccer and Field l-lockey To the male world, the close of summer means the opening of a new football season, but here at L. R. Peck, the girls also find that fall is the time for their sportsesoccer and field hockey, Often the sight of these fair'damsels tripping down the hill to the field, or vigorously uphold- ing their titles, has nearly caused a traffic jam, but the townspeople have at last discovered that the girls are serious and nothing so disastrous ever happens any more. ln soccer, the eleven best candidates from each of the four upper classes are chosen to represent their respective classes, and the war is onl Competition is keen, and the hopes of defeating the mighty seniors had spurred many on to a good game. The Class of '47, this year's seniors, being undefeated, won the championship with last year's champs, the '48ers, just one step behind, Outstanding defense men were: Ann Fowler l'47l and Pat Ballou l'48l, while the highscorers were Nancy Vitullo l'48l with lO points, Joan Ferry and Carol Walch l'47l with 8 each, and Judy Ferry l'48l and Shirley Nagle l'47l, with 4 each. The field hockey season, which immediately follows soccer has a much different system. Any girl from the four upper classes comes down to practice, and after much training, eleven members and four 'fsubs are chosen to repre- sent Peck as Varsity to play Lincoln and Colt. l-lockey practice is by no means all work and no fun, as the girls who tried to teach lvlr. Pickering and lvlr, Petersen the rudiments of the sport discovered. Nor will we forget the hectic day we all played the cross-country team, No fellas, the idea wasn't to trip the opponents with the hockey sticks, We finally did play Lincoln and Colt but lost both of these games much to our dismay. The first 7-l and the latter 3-2, Well, such is the fall sport season for girls here at Peck, and though we'Il miss the seniors, we look forward eagerly to another year.

Even though they had lost heavily to Bristol in field hockey, the girls were still game to play them in volleyball. The seniors made up the first team because they worked well together. The best players of the other three classes made up the second team. They played Bristol at Andrews Gym on January QB, but alas, the Bristol Girls once again showed their superiority in defeating the first team 30 to l9, and the second team, 27 to l4. Eager for a return game on their own court, the girls entertained Bristol at Barrington the next week But even their determined spirits didn't win the game, for both teams were again defeated, the seniors 47 to i4 and the second team 30 to 20. This game ended the volleyball season and the Christmas vacation arrived, but the girls were back again in January and on to basketball and victory, l GlRLS' VARSlTY FIELD HOCKEY Third row, left to right: A.

Basketball On Tuesday and Friday atternoons ot eyery week from January to March, many Senior l-ligh girls report for basketball practice. This attracts more girls than any other sport. After each class has had tive highly competitive practices along with their physical education periods, teams are chosen. This year, the Senior teamfJoan Ferry, Carol Walch, Allison Childs, Ann Fowler, Priscilla Kil- leen and Shirley Nagle-with their superior marlqsmanship and co-ordination, rolled up high winning scores to capture the championship. The Juniors usually come in second, and this year is no exception, but led by Amy Heden- burg and Barbara Allen, they had an especially tine team. The Sophomores, although still quite inexperi- enced, can always be depended upon to try their yery best. With Sylvia Lombardi and Nancy Hillman in the tore, they will surely build up a team of which their class will be proud. This year the Freshman class has produced two players which rank among the best on any team,eJane Woodrutt and Jean Palumbo. With these two as a tore, plus plenty ot hard work, the Freshman team should develop into a knit unit ot tuture champions. Seniors .... ...,...,. .,.......... Seniors ..,......,... .... .,,.....

Three of the assembly programs featured movies. A film, f'America The Beautiful, was shown in commemoration of Washington's and Lincolnfs birthdays, and the girls had a special movie of their own on Good Groomingfl By means of a movie, we were able to catch a glimpse of life at Boston University. A pre- view of the Senior Play, The Mad l-lattersn was really a highlight of our assembly programs. Members of the musical organizations of the school presented a Christmas Cantata which was enjoyed by all. Other assemblies were the Memorial Day Assembly, and the special program sponsored by the Class of '47, Many of the students took advantages ot the opportunity to attend worthwhile movies and plays in Providence, Several members of the faculty sponsored these outings, and the pupils who went thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of theml Included in these outside activi- ties werei Goupi Mains Rouges and Les Miserables, two French films featured at the Avon Theater, Shal4espeare's l-lenry V, an Eng- lish film starring Laurence Olivier, MoIiere's Les Femmes Savantesf' a French play presented by ' LIBRARY AIDES B Standing: left to right: A.

The Hatter family of Brooklyn were all nuts about something. Marga- ret Hatter, the mother, was mad about dramatics, Joe Hatter, the father, was mad about fishing. Gigi, their daughter, was mad about athletics, Bunny, their son, was mad about photography, and Angeli- ca, their housekeeper, was just plain mad. Grandma Hatter had been support- ' ing the family for years when she suddenly de- cided to quit. Giving them all three months to prove they could make their own living, she promised to renew their monthly allowance if at least one of the entire family should succeed. Not having earned a penny in their lives, they unanimously agreed that their only hope was to commercialize their hobbies. At the expiration of three months, all had failed but Joe, who acci- dently hooked the fish which had swallowed Grandma's false teeth. Thus their difficulties were solved and the family was put back on their five hundred dollar monthly allowance. The Barrington's Girls' Athletic Association was organized in September, and the following officers were elected: President, Rose Gizzarelli, Vice President, Carol Walch, Treasurer, Ann Fowler, Corresponding Secretary, Lucia Harvie, Recording Secretary, Carol Linehan, The Associ- ation sponsored a hot dog roast at Haines Park on October l4th.

The gym was gaily decorated with colored streamers and pictures of farmers and farm animals. Andy Gene's Orchestra played for dancing. During the intermission, punch was served, and several talented members of the class entertained the guests, To the Juniors goes the honor of sponsoring the first Junior Prom ever held at Peck School. About one hundred-fifty people danced to the strains of sweet music at the affair which was held in the school hall on Friday evening, April l8th. Pastel-colored streamers and bright bal- loons gave the hall a very festive air. Favors, in the form of gold link bracelets, were presented to the young ladies who attended. The high- light of the evening came with the crowning of The Princess of the Prom . This honor went to Joyce Anderson, who, as we all expected, made a very dainty and charming Princess , Good work, Juniors!! What novel ideas have you in store for us for next year? 68 l Olgak ' RALPH MARTIN Olga slipped silently through the dark hall. Everything was deathly still except for the distant clock tolling the hour. One--twoethree. Three o'clock in the morning, Hans would be far away. A door creaked and her father's gruff voice demandedi Who is there? Olga leaned close to the wall and held her breath. 'Umph l he grunted, and closed the door with a bang. Olga sighed in relief and continued on her way. At last she reached her room, She crept wearily into bed and there thought over the hours just spent with her sweetheart. He was a musician, and poor, He could not make a living in their country. He was going to America in the hope of finding fortune. Olga had gone to the ship with him, unknown to her father. Hans was not a favored suitor. l will send for you, Hans had promised. Olga was content to wait, ln due time a letter came from him, He had not been successful. Olga wept as she went about the house in silence. What ails you? her father questioned cross- ly. A slight headache, that is all, Olga explained quickly But he looked at her shrewdly. Months passed and she heard no more from Hans, She grew thin and pale, and her father expressed his disgust. lt is that fiddler Hans! he stormed one day when he found her in tears. Faith He is a no good dog, and l told you what he wasl Olga left the room. lvlany similar scenes followed and they weak- ened the girl's strength, The worst one was the time her father found her sitting idly with a strange look on her face when she should have been attending to her household duties. He had taken his usual early morning walk, and when he came in he found Olga sitting there with a piece of paper in her hand. He approached quietly and looked over her shoulder. There was the writing of Hans on the paper, and a date of long ago. He looked more closely at her bent head, and saw that she was asleep, He put his hand on her shoulder. She began to mutter: Hans, come back. Hans, come back. He shook her until she was awake, and then said with gruff tenderness: Come, we shall eat and then you will,feel better. You will kill yourself with worry this way. lf Hans loves you, he will return, Yet still no word came from Hans long after that, and at last she could stand it no longer, She fled, with one thought in her mind-America, and find Hans. Olga pulled her shawl about her thin shoulders against the cold. Americal She shuddered. Her dreams had been so different, so beautiful, And now thisl She walked some more, whimpered, and sat wearily down on the steps of an old house. The man on the ship had told her this was New York. Somewhere in this vast land was Hans. Her Hans, She had never heard more from him after that one letter, but he was here somewhere, and she would not give up her hope, Git outa this doorwayl' shrilled a woman's voice behind her, and the thin German girl felt a foot shoving her, even kicking her. Olga ran down the street. lf only she could escape the biting coldl A Out of breath, she slowed to a walk again, and shuffled on, There was a large building ahead, lights streaming from its windows. Many people were entering it, men and women-ladies and gentle- men. Olga marveled at the ladies' clothes. She had never seen anything like them before. A man accompanied by a lady brushed by, and glanced at her as she drew backs Prettyl he said, looking at Olga, and turn- ing, said something to his companion. The lady laughed and replied: What an ideal Really, l don't need a maid. And if l did, l wouldn't have that poor sick-looking creature in the house. Olga's cheeks tingled. l-low degrading and humiliatingl She walked away, Then, when all were in the large hall, she returned, still attract- ed. She crept up to one of the long French windows. Olga trembled with excitement when she beheld the crowded hall. Oh, it only she could go in and listen tool A man was speaking, but she could not hear. Then the curtains ot the stage were drawn aside and she saw the audience clapping hands, A young man stepped forward, bowed, raised a violin to his chin, and began to play. A girl with a shawl about her shoulders stood at the rear ol the crowded hall as he played on, and when he finished she cried out, l-lansl she called. l'lansl She ran forward. From the stage Hans looked down into the tearful eyes of Olga. lt was afterward that l-lans and Olga told their stories to each other. l shall never forget, l-lans said, how I sut- lered when your tather wrote to me and said that you had been married. l could hardly be- lieve it. You had promised me. Olga trembled when she learned ot her ta- ther's deceit, and in anger she vowed never to torgive him.
