Tune: 'Til We Meet Again When we say farewell to Littleton High We'll remember those four years gone by. We thank our teachers, parents, too, Who have helped to see us through. As we leave our place for those to come, May their years be all successful ones. We say goodbye to L. H. S., Dear old Littleton High. Strange the paths which now before us lie As we seek our hidden goal in life. Gone our days in L. H. S., Where we've found true happiness. May we ne'er forget the friendships made And the fun that's filled all our days. May health, good fortune be with you, 'Til we meet again. Irene Slack, Jewel Mooney, Bertha Wiley Nancy Eager, Joan Gadbois THE RECORD 13 MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF '46 NOW IN SERVICE We would like to pay tribute here to the five members of our class who entered the service. We are very disappointed that they are un- able to be with us for graduation and class day exercises, and we hope that they will all be home with us soon. They are: Coxswain Ernest Rioux, Sf lc Everett Rioux, G. M.j3c Wilfred Bilodeau, P. F, C. Edward Holt, P. F. C. Joseph Herbert. 14 THE RECORD THE TIME HAS COME Many people are under the general impression that since the war is won there cannot possibly be any more complications in the govern- ment and in the country's organization. But if they examine the sit- uation a little closer they will see a serious economic war material- izing. In fact the situation is so serious that as we go to press we cannot foresee what life will be like when this copy of the Record appears in print. Either the whole country will have been crippled by a coal strike and a transportation strike which will force food distribution, heat, light and all industry to a complete stop, or the country will be as normal, the labor problems having been success- fully settled. Which of these will happen seems to depend upon the decision of one man, John L. Lewis. This man has tremendous power not only over the unions but over the economic welfare of the country itself. All he has to do is say the word and the whole country could be thrown into chaos. It is wrong that so much power should be invested in one man whose chief weapon, and a crippling one, is the strike. A strike is a war between capital and labor which greatly menaces the public welfare especially if it is connected with coal, steel or some other commodity which is essential to life. We would not want to take away labor's right to organize or to benefit by collective bargaining but there must be a limitation on the right to strike when public welfare is involved. Strikes are really the primitive way of deciding things as in early society when dis- agreements were settled by personal combat. Arbitration is the civilized way of settling disputes and therefore must be accepted by labor and capital as the way to reach agreements. The obvious solution for the situation is for Congress to take away the power of such a man as Lewis by making new laws for labor legislation which would outlaw strikes which might have such a para- lyzing effect on the country and other laws which would provide really effective means of arbitration for settling disputes between or- ganized labor and capital. Surely our government has more power than John L. Lewis and his unions. The time has come for it to prove that this is so. IN OURSELVES OUR FUTURE LIES You have chosen for your class motto one of the old axioms of life, In ourselves our future lies. This is so true that no one ever takes issue With it, yet so many young people never consider it seriously until it is too late to do anything that will bring about that type of future that they would desire most. Many of us will not take the time to plan and work for the future. Too many of us are prone to say what we would do if We had our lives to live over again. THE RECORD 15 You are at that stage in life when you can do much to bring about the type of future you desire. You are young and strong and have many opportunities for further education and training if you have the willingness to work for them. The world needs trained men and women today more than at any time in its history. In talking to one young man recently about his future in Little- ton, he remarked that there was not much in his home town for him. Such an attitude was poor, for he was looking into the future with the idea that Littleton should be ready to offer to him certain advantages if it expected him to remain here and become part of the community. A successful and happy life does not depend on what the rest of the world can give us but on what we can give to the World. I asked the young man what he had to offer his community and received no reply for he had never looked at the situation in that light. I sincerely hope that as you grow older and take your place in this community, or some other community, you will seriously consider the fact that if civilization is going to advance and the atom is going to be used for progress instead of destruction, we must have more young men and women with the determination to serve society. Your future depends on your willingness to accept that challenge, for in ourselves our future lies. Your Headmaster SENIOR CLASS Front row, left to right: T. Smith, I. Slack, L. Mayhew, A.

Furthermore, we guarantee that no class in the future will be able to compete with the record of the Class of 46 . We were fifty-eight in number and the annual Freshman Hop was the first big event of the year. It didn't take long for us to find out that the Seniors Were dominant. Although the day Was distressing to us, We had a lot of fun. At our first class meeting we elected for our officers Kemon Pis- perikos for president, Armand Bilodeau, vice presidentg Joan Ryan, secretary, Bertha Wiley, treasurer. It didn't take long to organize our first Weenie roast, and I remember it didn't take our promising young Wolves long to get acquainted. The Twelfth Night social be- came the second big function of the class. This social was given in honor of the Seniors in return for the Hop. The big attraction seemed to be the mistletoe placed in designated spots. As our first year came to a close, everyone felt that it was a year Worthwhile in the start for an education. The summer was soon over and in September We found ourselves in the famed Room Six. We numbered fifty Wild and Woolly Sopho- mores, making it extremely difiicult for the home room teacher. For officers that year We elected Kemon Pisperikos for president, Robert Lamb, vice presidentg Sally Mason, secretary, Joan Ryan, treasurer. Our second year Was far from being eventful, the Weenie roast and socials being the main functions. We seemed so much more im- portant, feeling very proud of our promising athletes. Their athletic careers in school soon brought fame to L. H. S. As our underclassman years came to a close, We were determined more than ever to get as much from our education as possible. The war was in full progress by this time, and our class was striving hard to do its part to end it as soon as possible by buying stamps and bonds, especially for the boys from our school Who had gone before us. Contrary to the beliefs of some people, We were really beginning to grow up when We entered the second part of our high school ca- reers. The event Which really brought the class together and which helped us to get acquainted was the traditional Weenie roast. Because We had quite a few new members in our class, We all had to get ac- quainted so that we would have a good feeling of cooperation among us. If rumors heard are true, the Weenie roast had a major part in bringing that about. As the year advanced, everyone began to think about the major event of the year Which, of course, Was the Junior Prom. Plans for it were made early, and the Prom was a success in every Way. The auditorium was nicely decorated in blue and White, and those who were in attendance felt that the Juniors had really done a creditable job. Even as final examinations began to press the class members THE RECORD 17 with hard work, they still remembered their successes and felt that they were ready to launch into the last year of high school and the tasks that were before them. The Senior year started off with a bang and our first social event of the year was the annual Freshman initiation. This was some- thing which we had been waiting for a long time, and those on the initiation committee entered into the campaign with gusto. The Freshmen rewarded the Seniors by being excellent sports, and we felt that we had started off on the right foot. The Senior play, entitled Act Your Age, was the second big event which took up a lot of the time of certain class members but they, too, were well rewarded because the play was a success. Other less important events held our attention but in the backs of our minds we have been thinking constantly of the last three major events to take place in our lives at L. H. S.--Final Assembly, Class Day, and Graduation. The year is coming to an end too soon for most of us, and soon we as a class will be separated as we journey into a world which is now free but which is still in a dangerous position and may hold strange things for us. We are the first class to be graduated since the ending of World War II, and as we are about to enter on the open road to life, let us bear in mind that we are going to help make up the world of tomorrow. Let us help to keep lasting peace in the world and set an example for those who are to follow us. Let us remember our life at L. H. S. and cherish our fond memories in days of trouble and failure. Lastly, let us remember those who have been our helpers and who have en- couraged us when we would have failed without their help. If we do these things, we will feel that we have had the right start in life and that we will always be successful in our undertakings. Helen F. Houston Robert Cady CLASS PROPHECY The skit takes place in New York's Central Park when B. is sitting on a park bench and N. comes by. B. is reading a paper. B. Aren't you Nick Pisperikos? N. Well, if it isn't M. B. fShake hands.J Long time no see. B. It sure is. What are you doing here in N. Y. C.? N. Why I have been doing brain surgery at the Bellevue Hos- pital for the past two years. B. Don't tell me you're the famous Dr. Pisperikos who recently operated on our old classmate, and now the famous Maxine Bubbles Marsh of Hollywood fame, for a brain tumor? N. It was nothing serious. I heard the secret behind her trip to stardom was that she was trying to corner Van Johnson. B. She always was a little man crazy. Remember her crush on Donald Whicher? N. Wha,t's Donald up to now? 18 THE RECORD B. The last I heard was that he had established a hydroelectric power plant on Palmer Brook. N. Yeah. He always was a dam builder. I hear you're in the engineering field too. B. I have been puttering around here and there. My last as- signment was to make the Amazon River navigable from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. N. That sure was an amazing feat. I read in the papers recently where Rudy Kimball and Leo Mayhew are the originators of the new Z formation which the Army football team will use next fall. B. Is that right? They sure were crazy about sports in high school. Remember the swell job Joan Ryan and Verne Dempster did in our senior play? Well, a theatrical scout signed them up for a ten- year contract in a leading New York theater where they are billed as the Reigning Queens of Burlesque. N. What ever happened to the brains of that group-Kay Demp- ster? B. Oh! She's the manager for the girls and recently had the Queens' legs insured for 31,000,000 apiece through Lloyds of London. N. Did you know that Sally Mason was president of the Getum and Marryum Young Association which has a reputed membership of 35,000? B. She always said she was going to get married just as soon as she left high school. N. Well, she did and now she's getting every other young girl hooked up. B. You know my old friend, Armand Bilodeau? N. Yes. B. Well, he is a Major General in the Army and a strong advo- cate of the atomic bomb and teen-age conscription. N. Did he ever get to West Point? B. Oh, yes, and a few years after he graduated he returned as commandant for the academy. N. By the way, Jewel Muscles Mooney is wrestling tonight at Madison Square Garden for the championship of the world. B. Is that right! ! Don't tell me she stuck to Wrestling after the senior play. N. You bet she did and she's fioored more than 200 opponents up to now. B. Yesterday I happened to be in Rockefeller Center and noticed on one of the doors the names of Lamb and Boardman-Electrical and Architectural Engineers. N. I heard they had established here in New York with Bernard Houle as chief electrician. B. What are Bernard's duties as chief electrician? N. They tell me he inserts light bulbs. It is very high precision work. B. What ever happened to that triple-threat team, Sherman, Gerard, Smith? THE RECORD 19 N. Not so long ago I was in that thriving community of Gilman, and I found that they were incorporated in a hotel business there. B. Don't tell me it's the Gilman Hotel! N. Yes, but its chef, Mizzie, runs the coke bar, and Herbert is the financial wizard of the group, assisted by his wife, the former Dorothy Finn of Littleton. B. A year or so ago on an engineering trip to Moscow, who should I encounter but Stalin's first assistant and commissar of the people, Pat Enderson. N. Is that the same Enderson who revised the five-year plan to 25 years? B. It sure is and a couple of weeks ago she was awarded the Russian Order of the Silver Star. N. Speaking of medals-Dick Hastings recently received the Distinguished Service Medal for crooning above and beyond the call of duty at the county farm in Haverhill. They loved that boy. B. Did he really have such a good voice as they claimed? N. Man, it was better than that. To keep his vocal chords in shape he does hog-calling in his spare time. B. Three of our former classmates, Rita Laveau, Dayle Hart, and Lorena Tift have formed the Married Woman's Political Action League and elected Douglas Buswell for president. N. Don't tell me he is another Norman Thomas? Why, I re- member he's run for that same office during the last five elections. B. Well, you know the old saying, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. N. That's exactly what Charlotte Oakes and Pearl Lee did. At first they met with difficulties, but are now on the road to success with their chicken ranch on Mann's Hill. B. It sure is good to see so many of our classmates so pros- perous. N. Did you know that John Spencer has made a fortune from his nationally known Spencer Drug Stores and his famous one-cent sales? , B. I also heard he intended to expand into the most distant parts of the world with Robert Derrington as chief soda clerk. Dick Long- champs is also in the soda fountain business. After he graduated from Alison University three years ago, he returned to the Sweet Shop and is making cokes and frappes on a scientific basis. N. Those seven years at Alison were worth it though. He makes the best orange cokes you have ever tasted. B. Did you happen to read that article in a recent American Magazine by Elsie Bolduc and Roberta Christie who are now teachers? N. Why yes, they are the ones who strongly advocate the dis- posal of books and adoption of pictorial methods of teaching. B. Yes, but Elsie and Roberta have met with considerable op- position because Isabel Morrill believes that lessons can only be learned through books. 20 THE RECORD N. Don,t tell me Isabel is a teacher! B. Oh yes, she's headmistress of L. H. S. N. Another of our classmates who is doing well in Littleton is Joe Harvey. Joe runs a dine and dance place on the Brook Road and features the blues singer, Lois Trudell. B. Joe has certainly strummed his way to the top with his guitar. N. By the way, what ever happened to Howard Shawney? B. The last I heard was that he was general manager of Norton Pike with Irene Slack as his private secretary. N. I'd also heard that Irene has invented a new typewriter that enables her to type 500 words a minute blindfolded. B. Did you know that Nancy Eager and Alberta Couture have started the Eager Beaver Dress Shop and Model Agency in Paris? Nancy has charge of the sales department and Alberta does the modeling. N. I have heard about their agency and dress shop, and it seems that Thelma Smith and Beverly Holt, co-owners of the Gilman Paper Company, buy all their lavish clothes there. B. Remember Bob Cady and Bert Perry's desire to become foresters? Well, they have recently completed the reforestation of the Sahara Desert with birches and maples. N. Last week while attending the Annual Convention of Doctors I met Bertha Wiley who is now a medical technician at Johns Hopkins. B. What ever happened to the man in her life? N. Oh, you mean Leon? He runs a bowling alley in Baltimore so he can be near her. B. I read in the May issue of the Ladies' Home Journal that Helen Fisher was elected the outstanding housekeeper for 1956. N. She certainly had time enough to become outstanding. Look! Joan Gadbois is starring in the opera Carmen tonight at the Metro- politan. B. Well, what do you say? Let's go and hear her. N. 0. K. A recently discharged Army pilot woke up in the hospital to find himself swathed in bandages and one of his pals watching him with some concern. What happened? he murmured feebly. Well, said his pal, you remember that party we were having in your hotel room last night? You bet the girls you could fly out one window, do an Immelman turn and fly back in the other window. Ye Gods! said the injured man. Why didn't you stop me ? Why, Charlie, I bet fifty bucks you could do it. , Fire Chief: Did you get that glass fixed in the fire alarm box ? Glazier: You bet. They won't bust it this time. I put unbreak- able glass in it.

At the beginning and between acts of the senior play, a special mixed glee club sang two selections. A vocal solo sung by Loretta Godbout, was enjoyed. The Miracle of the Clock, a musical pageant, was presented by the glee club at Christmas time. It proved successful and drew a good crowd. The girls' special glee club sang at the Littleton High School for the State Grange Convention. ' Loretta Godbout, Parker Goff, and Everett Walter were picked to participate in the New England Music Festival which was held at New Britain, Connecticut in March. The Littleton, Lisbon and Bethlehem schools sent a total of twenty-two members to Nashua as members of the All-State Chorus. Robert Gray was chosen for All-State Orchestra, and Jewel Mooney was chosen for All-State Band. Plans have been laid for a special mixed glee club to combine with St. Mary's in a joint concert on June 5.

Paul Lamere, the Littleton High Ski Team, after a lapse of three years in its activities, had a successful season. The Littleton skiers journeyed to two meets during the year, one at Mt. Aggasiz in Bethlehem, and one on the Wildcat Trail in Pinkham Notch, where skiers from ten schools competed against each other for the championship. The Littleton squad gave a good account of itself at these meets, coming in third in the combined totals at Bethlehem and fourth at the meet on the Wildcat Trail in Pinkham Notch. Originally the meet at Pinkham was to have been held at North Conway, but because of bad weather, it was transferred to Pinkham Notch instead. The ski team lineup was as follows: Bob Revoir, Douglas Buswell, Mark Buxton, Robert Labonte, Joseph Harvey, Hector Polson, Robert Moore, William Nichols, Charles Keniston.

CLASS POEM For in the years to come, We may recall and think, Of golden days and joy ..... That were to us, life's drink. And we may recollect, Of all those silly things, That fill'd so full our minds, Time flew like mad, on wings. And now when seems as though, All time can have no end, Think now, as will you think, Of these days' sweet good blend. For we are soon to take Our leave, say our good-byes, But time Will have more length, Before their mem'ry dies.

Silver, A. Bilodeau. Third row: J. Richardson, E. Girard, W. Lucas, R. Simons, C. Leader, R. Frazer. Back row: D. Buswell, R. Hastings, R. Christie, N. Lavoie, Coach Arthur Shedd. Spring brings many fine things, but the best is that nationally known sport of baseball. All over the country that feeling of throwing that old apple around becomes contagious again. And so it was?- With the 1946 season rapidly approaching, our new coach, Arthur Shedd, collected last year's squad for regular practice. In time the first nine were established in their respective positions: Catcher, Rudy Kimball, Pitcher, Bubba Smith, First Base, Nick Pisperikos, Second Base, Bob Cady, Shortstop, Bill Silver, Third Base, 'Shorty Mayhew, Left Field, Bert Perry, Centerfield, Bud Thompson, and Right Field, Chic Bilodeau. The team was well organized in playing heads-up ball and with continuous practice awaited the first match with Gorham High School. Littleton 19, Bethlehem 1 Not realizing what power the team possessed, Coach Shedd sched- uled a practice game with Bethlehem. The all-veteran team of Little- ton High had little trouble in subduing the Bethlehem Stars, by run- ning up 19 runs to their one in seven innings. The second team squad also saw action in the last two innings. Littleton 4, Gorham 1 The season opened with Gorham playing host to the Crusaders. Both teams were well balanced, and it was anybody's ball game. In the second inning L. H. S. started a rally which produced three runs. v THE RECORD 31 Later in the fourth inning another run placed them in a 4 to 0 lead. Gorham tallied in the fifth with their only run. Smith and Pisperikos shared the mound work. Littleton 8, Whitefield 5 A somewhat scrappy Whitefield nine made enough trouble to keep the Crusaders down to eight runs for seven innings. Errors on the part of L. H. S. brought in most of the runs for Whitefield, but the hitting and pitching was strictly from the Littleton dugout. Red Laveau, pitching in his first game, went three innings of fine ball and then was relieved by Rudy Kimball. Littleton 14, St. Johnsbury Academy 3 Expecting stubborn opposition, the Sheddmen wasted little time in building up a lead. The first inning brought a grand slam of three runs for an early security. The all-round hitting by the Crusaders stacked up a total of fifteen hits bringing in fourteen runs to St. J's weak three. Bub' Smith hurled the whole game with nine strikeouts and allowed only four hits. As we go to press seven games remain unplayed-two with Berlin and Woodsville and one each with Gorham, Whitefield, and St. Johns- bury. FACULTY Front row, left to right: Daisy Bronson.
