IN MEMORIAM RAYMOND GENES T A Member of the Class of 1944 page twenty-e'ght Timi, ISIEWINEN 3 eg IN THE SERVICE CARROLO, VIRGILIO—Stationed somewhere in North Africa. Our senior class received a beautiful Christmas card from Virgilio. He is striving to become a quartermaster and he thinks he will be soon. While in North Africa, he met three Ludlow boys, among them EDWARD WELCHMAN of the Class of 1944. Virgilio thinks navy life is splendid, especially when they have to travel back and forth from North Africa to Italy. COSTA, ANTONIO—My mama done tol’ me When I was in knee pants My mama done tol’ me; Blues in the night. Yes, Tony joined the blues because he knew he had to do some- thing for his country to win the war. He was stationed at Sampson, New York and was learning to become a successful electrician. Now he is in the Pacific war area. DENNIS, LEROY—Dennis is one of our first boys to enter the Army Air Force from the Class of 1944. He left for the air corps in September, 1948. At present, he is stationed at Miami Beach, Florida, where he is studying to become a pilot. We all hope he will come flying a B-24 over Ludlow High some day. GAMACHE, WILFRED—Another boy from the senior class who is in the service is “Willie,” who is serving somewhere in the South Pacific with the leathernecks. He went into the service in June, 1943, and got his training at Parris Island, South Carolina. GUERTIN, ARTHUR—Another fellow who is serving Uncle Sam is “Art” Guertin, who is in the U.S. Army. He went into the service in August, 1943. “Art”? was sent to Fort Devens for his training and later to New York. At present he is stationed at Camp Edwards. KOPYSCINSKI, STEVE—Steve is another boy of the senior class who is also in the blues serving his country in order that there may be peace forever. He left for the Navy in September, 1943, and was sent to Sampson, New York, for his boot training. Later he was sent to Great Lakes Naval Training Station where he is getting further training in engineering. Steve will soon be seeing action aboard some ship. MOUTINHO, ARTHUR—Art, who is also serving the U. S. Army, left in 19483. He is stationed in Texas and says there is a lot of excite- ment and activity in the army. Art is in the Tank Destroyer Division and is now on maneuvers in Colorado. WELCHMAN, EDWARD—Better known to most of us as “Bill Walker’, is also serving in the navy. At present he is stationed on the U. S. S. Vulcan and is doing his share in winning this war. Bill’s dream is Annapolis, and from what we hear, he is on his way to make that dream a reality. JACK COELHO—Jack, who left us a few months ago, also joined the navy. During his recent leave from Sampson, he came back to Ludlow High to visit all of us for a while. LUDLOW HIGH SCHOOL page twenty-nine DIARY OF THE CLASS OF 1944 September. 1940 (---—- = —- = June, 1941 Today, Dear Diary, as we became known as Freshmen, our hearts were skipping beats and our heads were high because we were so hanpy and proud. For a while we were in a daze, but after a few days had passed, we quickly settled down to business and elected our class officers. Although this was the first great achievement in our new life, we were more than satisfied with the results. John Wheaton became our president; Lucy Costa, vice-president; Bridget Karezmarczyk, secretary; Fred Gillan, treasurer. The pur- pose of our class meetings, which were the only gatherings we had, was to prepare us for the three years ahead of us. eejineonloes, WCHL — Soom a sake June, 1942 Dear Diary, the months have passed by swiftly this term. So many important events took place this season that we hardly had a chance to call ourselves sophomores. The one thought in each student’s mind after December 7, 1941, was “Win the War!” Some of us enrolled in the various war activities introduced at Ludlow High, while others went to work at the different factories in this vicinity. This was a trying year for everyone, but our president, Lucy Costa, vice-president, Nancy Lynch, and our secretary and treas- urer, Bridget Karezmarczyk, saw us through to the end. Depiember 1942 tae June, 1943 We were proud of ourselves this year, Dear Diary. We elected Lewis Gordon, presi- dent, Robert Cormack, vice-president, Bridget Karezmarczyk, secretary, and Robert Smith, treasurer. Our first adventure was the Junior Dance, which was a perfect success, regard- less of the fact that the windows were decorated from some Red Cross boxes, which we took by mistake. The profit made by the dance was set aside and later used for the Junior Prom. The “prom” was another victory for our class and received many compliments from Mr. Joslow and Mr. Baird. Now our thoughts were turning toward the next year, and we knew we would soon be in our last year of high school. September, 1943 ---------- June, 1944 At last Dear Diary, we have reached our goal, we are _ seniors. Robert Cormack jumped a step this year and became our president, Norman Hiersche, vice-president, Brid- get Karezmarczyk, secretary, and Jean Lyons, treasurer. With most of the students working after school, it was difficult to hold dances, but we decided to try anyway. Our efforts were not in vain, for the Senior Dance was enjoyed by everyone. Several of the boys were in the service before graduation, and most of the others will join after gradua- tion. Words weren’t necessary on all of the memorable occasions that only seniors enjoy: Class night, Ivy Day, and Graduation will always remain in our memories, and Ludlow High School itself will be one of our most precious memories. We have a job to do now, and we intend to see it through to the end. Wherever we are and whatever we do, we will make Ludlow High proud of us.

Tonight is the first reunion of the Class of 1944 ef the Ludlow High School, and the old crowd has gathered together to reminisce over old doings and good times. Limousines, taxis, and privately owned c7rs are coming to a stop in front of the very chic Club Rio owned by oil heiress Imogene Jviller, ard managed by Paul Sadowski. Here comes a town car designed by automobile magnate Antonio Mathias, and doorman Jack Coelho opens the door for Miss Jacqueline Fourn’er, world famous drug manufacturer, and her escort Tony Ferreira, now playing the lead in the opera Copa Cabana, written by the eminent composer Hsther Ellison. Upon entering the club they receive a beaming smile from Christine Hartland, hat-check girl, and thers are shown to their table by head- waiter Robert Boudreau, who is in charge of waitresses Alyce Bocon, Helen Karczmar- czyk, Alma Almgren, and Helen Ostrowski, Fanfare is sounded by the orchestra, and master-of-ceremonies Fred Gillan introduces Joe Lopes, guest barid-leader of the evening, who in turn presents his most sensational discovery William “Frankie” Rooney, who is going to sing Hzuara Perreira’s arrangement of “Night and Day.’ At the conclusion of this performance, with a sincere promise to the swooring girls that he will return with an encore later in the evening, “Frankie” rushes to the main door of the ballroom to greet handsome multi-millionaire Bob Cormack, accompanied by the noted fashion designer, Rosalie Pukish. The trio walk over to the table of tobacco auctioneer Graham Easson, who this evening is comparing notes on the horse races with bookies, Lewis Gordon, Robert Smith, and Edward Gajewski. Seen sitting at tables around the room are Marion Fisken, business manager, Helen Niemic, reporter, and Thomas Riley, photographer; members of the staff of Norman Hiersche’s Daily News. At one of the ringside tables, debutante Janet Easson can be seen chatting with Ludlow’s two biggest playboys, John Kurty an d David Alves. Just be- fore the lights are dimmed for the floor show, Lwacinda Costa, torch singer, “breezes in” trailed by her manager, Norman Laughran. They walk over and sit at the table of Joseph Mazur, president of the Yeargood Rubber Company, and his secretary, Elsie Piangerelli. The lights are lowered, the orchestra strikes up a tune, and the famous “Rockettes,” led by Eleanor Lavigne, perform a_ breathtaking number. In the chorus are those much talked of beauties, Julietta Carrolo, Olive Couture, Clara Kogut, Doris HEisold, Ethel Pinheira and Celeste Silva, who have just veturned from a tour abroad. There is a hush in the audience and a swishing of a beautiful gown designed by Wanda Janeczek, as the ravishing actress, Briget Karczmarczyk, escorted by James Ingra- ham, broker, and John Grabowski, owner of a chain of Five and Ten Cent Stores, rush to their tables so as not to miss the next act. Others who have just come in are Eva Santos, the world-renowned criminologist, and her assistant, John Fido, better known as _ the “Bee Man.” Also in the late-comer group are Mary Santos, who is a well-known radio star, featured on the Crummy Niblets program sponsored by Mary Ramos; Tony Costa, light-weight champion in the boxing world who has just defeated Serafim Guerra, also present at the gathering: Anna Swienton, cartoonist for Walt Disney, and Arthur Guer- tin, postmaster in the Ludlow Post Office, are also here. LUDLOW HIGH SCHOOL page thirty-five Over the murmur of the crowd, suddenly 3 voice can be heard. Yes, it’s the famous singer of stage, screen, and radio, Jean Lyons who is accompanied at the piano by that tickler of the ivories, Jeannette Ventura. J an is fclicowed on the program of melodies by the rerowned accordion player, Carl Peuwse, and a great deal of applause follows his rendition of A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody, whic: Carl dedicated to Dorothy Heron, Louise Grabowsk’, Lucy Konieczny, and Clara Rodr.ques, all famous “cover girls’ from the John Periera ilozel Agency. At the csnelusion of the floor show, the o:ercstra strikes up a beautiful waltz and many couples are seen circling the dance floor ir, a dreamy mood. General Arthur Mou- tinho, who has made the U. S. Army his career, is dancing with Mary Reid, prominent author, who Las just completed a new biography entitled John Crescentini—Boy and Man. Also seen twirling around the floor is Willian Duquette, who is escorting Elsie Catalini, who locks very beautiful with a flower snood n her lair which was designed by Lillian PBuczoki, Ludlew’s best tiorist. Bill, a Hollywood scout, has done much to help Ludlow girls make good in the movie world, for he discovered Helen Twarog, who has just re- ceived the Academy Award for the best perfirmance of the year. Helen won this award for her grand characterization in the picture, “Suzie-Q’s Last Flight” produced by Merrill Benway and directed by V rgilio Carrollo. Stephanic Kudlic, famous artist, Celeste Martins, women’s tennis champ, and Mary Ferenz, Congresswoman, have just come into the ballroom escorted by Fred Melnyk, Harry O’Connor, and Richard Swiatlowski, partners in a sh_pbuilding industry. It rather looks as if the whole crowd has gathered. But, no! Here comes Ludlew’s most prominent dentist, Paul Fournier, accompanied by his pretty office nurse, Alyce Mae White. I guess everyone is present now because Bob Cormack, president of the class of ’44 has just called the meeting to order and announced that there is much business to be discussed. And so, folks, I’m afraid this is where our report of the reunion must end, since all business .s business and the Class of 1944’s secrets must remain the Class of ’44’s secrets. CLASS SONG We sing tonight of LUDLOW, of dear old LUDLOW HIGH. And memories are present with smiles and many a sigh. The paths we take divide here, new friendships will appear. But the friends we’ve made at LUDLOW We'll always hold most dear. We sing tonight of teachers, of teachers fond and true. And classmates who have answered the old red, white, and blue. The lessons we have learned here will help us if we try, And make this high school parting Farewell but not goodbye. Jean Lyons page thirty-six Wits (REWWEW 5 5. eles!

The names of these different groups are as follows: Red Cross Photography Club First Aid Home Nursing Minute Men Radio Club Salvage Club Navigation Club Gift Club Art Club The Photography Club, advised by Mr. Lupien, is taught the art of taking good pic- tures and developing them. There are 19 members in this group. The Home Nursing girls are being taught the practical methods of caring for the sick by Miss Ramsey. The 27 members enjoy their classes and are proud of their work. Miss Hartnett is the advisor for the Navigation Club of 36 members, while Mr. Black- burn advises 39 boys of the Radio Club. There is also Miss Hubbell’s group of 25 students who enjoy art. The most active of all these groups are the Gift Club, the Salvage Club, First Aid, Red Cross, and the Minute Men. The Gift Club has done a splendid job in keeping up the morale of the fellows in the services. Each fellow receives a gift from this club on his birthday and at Christmas. Miss Ferre and Miss Brooks are the advisors for this large group of 62 members. The Red Cross group rolls surgical dressings for the boys wounded in action. These girls, under the leadership of Mrs. Cormier and Miss Gagne, produce large quantities of these needed bandages. There are 30 girls in this organization and they all enjoy working together. Mr. Burgess’s salvage club has also proved to be of great importance. The 13 students collect whatever they can find in order to help the war effort. Miss Miller’s 19 candidates were so interested in their First Aid course that they con- sented to afternoon classes which would eventually make it possible for them to receive certificates at the end of the entire course. The most unusual group of all is Miss Saulnier’s Minute Men girls. They take charge of chapel and remind the student body of its duties whenever it is necessary to do so.

ORATORICALS The four girls who participated in the annual oratorical contest held in the Ludlow High School auditorium on February 17 were: Miriam Morin, Helen Twarog, Francis Hods- don, and Dolores Klimezynski. Miriam Morin received first prize for her heart warming oration entitled “Democracy Begins at Home;” second prize went to both Helen Twarog for her talk on the “History of The Constitution” and Francis Hodsdon, for her unusual talk on “First Lady of The World—Mme. Chiang-Kai-Chek”; last but not least came Dolores Klimezynski, who received third prize for her talk on ‘The Rights We Defend.” The winner of the District finals, sponsored by the American Legion and held here on March 7, was Raymond Willemion of Holyoke High.
