Dedication We, the Senior Class of 1948, with sincere appreciation for her friendship and guidance, dedi- cate this yearbook to Mrs. Severance, our Class Advisor. We can never truly express our gratitude for her understanding and patience. She will always remain a friend to all of us. 4 foreword The Major Edwards Senior Annual has been assembled through the united efforts of the Senior Class to preserve the precious memories of their stay in high school. Our principals, Mr. Chaffee, Mr. Goo dnow, and Mr. Sanderson, will always have a special place in our hearts as will Mr. Peltier and Mr. Bixby. our superintendents during our high school years. Our numerous teachers, Mrs. Severance, Mr. Namen, Miss Maguire, Miss Nutting, Mr. Stanton, Miss Sullivan, Miss Lacouture, Miss Rmrdan, Mr. Stubbs, Miss Jennings and Mr. Kelly, have been patient and understanding in guiding us over the rocky path to Commencement. Our years in M. E. H. S. have been truly memorable ones and this annual serves not only as a reminder of those happy days but also as a memorial of our class for those who follow. _2i] Z3P 3 2 faculty Mr. Bixby, Superintendent Standing: Left to Right: Henry Kelly, Thomas Morrissey, Harry Stubbs, Pauline Lacouture, Helen Riordan, David Eaton, Mary Maguire.

Bernie is the athletic and romantic boy of the class. His sense of humor and sparkling person- ality have made him a general favorite. Bernie has a knack for making friends easily and has no trouble at all when it comes to making a hit with members of the opposite sex. Can he cast a rolling eye! He is planning to continue his education next year. We all think he will be an asset to any college.

Her gorgeous blonde hair, the envy of every girl, com- bined with her deep blue eyes add up to the best looking girl in the class. Chappy really goes in for the new look in a big way. Despite the disapproval of the fellows she still manages to keep a certain ring around her neck. Right, Chappy? Can we ever forget that cherubic look she assumes when caught in English class without an answer? Her cheerful character and pleasing personality will surely win her many friends in her coming years of college.

This gal with the sparkling blue eyes and charming personality came to us three years ago from Commerce High in Worcester. She is the worker of the class, and without her, the commercial room would be completely lost. Jeannie has her stakes set to join the parade of the Women In White . How lucky the patient who has our Jeannie for a nurse! We all wish you the best of luck, Jean. Chorus 2; Gym 2, 3; Operetta 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Class Vice President 3; Class Secretary 4; D.

But nevertheless she ' s always willing to lend a helping hand. School a nd study- ing never caused her too much concern, yet she managed to pass all her subjects with plenty to spare. Her efficiency at the typewriter will certainly pave her way to success.

Serious, honest, dependable and good natured are but a few of the adjectives which describe Wayne. His sense of humor and sparkling person- ality have made him a general favorite with all. As the class crooner he has captured the hearts of many girls of M. E. H. S. as well as elsewhere. We know Wayne will win out in whatever field he enters. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Play 3 ANTOINETTE FLAMINIO Flip All is small save love, for love is all in all. Here is one of the nicest girls of all. She ' s full of vim and vitality which have proved her to be indispensable to the cheerleaders and basketball team. She is always ready and willing to lend a helping hand and we Seniors have certainly taken advantage of her kindness. Flip is the first of the girls to get her diamond, and we wish her the most happiness that life can possibly hold.

Never was there a girl who so deserved being elected the most popular as does our Jinny. A wonderful friend and comrade to all who know her. she is also an indispensable member of the girls ' basketball team and a constant source of enjoyment as she helps her fellow cheerleaders lead the crowd. Her lilting laugh is a joy to all who have ever had the pleasure of hearing it. Her superb record on the honor roll shows that a successful college career is in the making.

Jigger never has kept the midnight oil burning, and neither is he the quiet, retiring type. Because of his cheery nature and friendly manner, and his willingness to help others, Jigger has made many friends during his stay at M. E. H. S. His plans for the future are uncertain but here ' s to his success and happiness in everything he undertakes.

Where would we be without Mert ' s witty ideas and pranks. Life at M. E. H. S. certainly would have been dull without his never-failing sense of humor. Nevertheless, Mert is a great worker and has helped the class a great deal. He ' s going to make some girl a wonderful husband — especially when he graduates from a cooking school. Good luck to you, Whimpy .

Barb is a tall, fun-loving girl who ' s always ready with a helping hand. She ' s the gal with personality plus. Her height and accuracy have been great assets to the basketball team. She ' s interested in all sports and school activities and her marks are a credit to her. The horoscope is sure to predict success in Barb ' s future.

We shall remember Johnny as one of the fastest talkers and most consistent arguers that M. E. H. S. has ever seen. He also manages to keep most of his marks up in the top brackets. Johnny ' s present ambition is to be able to go home at 2:20 for just one day. In the future he wants to be a chemical engineer. Then he ' ll have definite hours and can collect time and a half for overtime.

E. H. S. but by numerous sport fans as well. He ' s our dynamite star — full of pep and rarin ' to go. He ' s also very popular with the fairer sex.

Success is tinged with sadness, As friendship ties we break And leave the old familiar scenes at last. Long years we ' ve spent together; We ' ve studied, fought, and played, And ne ' er will we forget each happy day. So now at time of parting, From hearts sincere we sing This chorus true as on we wend our way. Fare thee well, dear Edwards High School, We will think of thee alway And happy days we ' ve spent at work and play. Now we leave these halls and classrooms, But wherever we may stray, We ' ll remember thee with gladness And with sadness day by day.

E. H. S. on September 6, 1944. Yes, grammar school days were over and we were now entering high school. As soon as school began, we learned that our home room was Room 3 and our teacher was the school ' s historian, Mr. Namen. We spent our first day in the strange building passing on wrong bells, getting lost in corridors, and forgetting pencils and other belongings. However, it didn ' t take long to get accustomed to M. E. H. S. and after we had settled down for a year of hard work, we elected the following officers: President, Robert Swenson; Vice President, Ruth Kudirka; Secretary, Barbara Keith; and Treasurer, Raymond Lyon. We held a class party at the Skaterina where Mr. Namen helped greatly in keeping the floor well polished. Eventually, the year came to a close; we passed our books in and prepared ourselves for a much needed vacation after ten months of hard study. SOPHOMORE YEAR It was not long before September 5, 1945 rolled around. We were sorry to learn that we had lost eight of the previous 26 members of our class: Paul Conforti, Allen Doe, George Grassier, Ruth Kudirka, Raymond Lyon, Peter Lescord, Carmen Salluce and Merribee Warner. As Mr. Chaffee had resigned we began our Sophomore year with a new principal, Mr. Goodnow. This year the building was not so strange and we immediately assumed the sophisticated attitude, typical of most Sophomores. But we soon settled down for the year in Room 1 with Miss Maguire as our class advisor, and elected the following officers: President, Albert Russo; Vice President, Antoinette Flaminio; Secretary, Eliza Puccetti, and Treasurer, Bill Oser. This year we had a wel- come addition to the class — Jean Cousins from Commerce High in Worcester. During the year there was plenty of homework — especially in Biology, as Miss Maguire had us all chasing bugs , collecting flowers, and planting miniature vegetable gardens. On October 30, we sponsored a Sophomore Hop which was very successful and later on a Spring Dance. Again the class attempted a class party, this time attending a movie in Worcester. June drew near all too quickly for these intelligent Sophomores and final exams appeared. We struggled through them as we eagerly looked forward to summer vacation. 19 JUNIOR YEAR On September 4, 1946 we once again entered the familiar corridors of M. E. H. S. We had all looked forward to our Junior Year as it not only- represented work accomplished but foretold many good times. We started the year off with a bang with Miss Maguire as our class advisor in Room 1 and we elected the following officers: A1 Russo, President; Jean Cousins, Vice President; Lois Chapman, Secretary; and Ralph Pendleton, Treasurer. Rumors were flying around about our new classmate, Ralph Pendleton, formerly of Rhode Island, who was to be an asset to our basketball team. Sure enough as the season rolled around, he became one of the outstanding athletes of the team. It was in the early part of October that we began rehearsals for the Junior Play with Mr. Namen as our director. In spite of the loss of patience on the part of Mr. Namen and the exhaustion and fear cf the actors, on December 7, Jumpin ' Jupiter proved a great success. In April our class rings arrived and we proudly displayed them to the rest of the school. June brought warm weather and the Junior Prom. On the 19th, many happy couples were found dancing under a roof of colored streamers, provided by the efforts of the Junior class. However, the year did not pass without changes. Mr. Peltier left us in January and Mr. Bixbv took his place. Also during our spring vacation, Mr. Goodnow resigned and Mr. Sanderson became our new principal. On the last day of school in our Junior year, we all took off for the Chapman ' s summer home on Cape Cod. We went in four cars with all of the drivers getting lost at least once but finally arriving at our destination. The girls slept in two rooms down stairs and all of the boys slept in the attic on cots except for three fresh-air fiends, George, Mickey and Jigger, who slept in the garage and froze. Soon after our arrival we decided to look around the place. We went down to the beach to see how the swimming was, but the tide was out. Some- one saw some fish in the river that runs next to Chapman ' s place so back to the cottage we went to secure fishing line, bait and a net. As the fish didn ' t bite, brave George put the net into the water and caught the fish. Of course, most of us never saw fish like these before. They were blowfish and when yo u rub their bellies, they puff up to three times their original size. Amazed at these freaks of nature which couldn ' t be used for eating, we decided they must be good for something and tried using the poor dumb fish as footballs . 20 ■S ,; We then had supper — all we could eat. How Mrs. Chapman kept us supplied for food is the eighth wonder of the world. The girls helped with the dishes and everybody went to Hyannis to the movies. When we got back to the Chapman ' s home we realized that we had left one of the fellows in Hyannis seven miles away. Gager took his car back to look for him. Ya, you guessed it,” Merlin Howard was sleeping in the show. All night long you could hear the girls giggling downstairs and the boys playing cards upstairs. The boys generally went to sleep around 2.30 with Mr. Chapman hollering, Break up the game . The next day we went swim- ming and got sunburned. Some looked like broiled lobsters. Others went horseback riding and others still played cards. The food we had was swell and plentiful. We finally went back to West Boylston with painful sunburns (especially Barb) and were soiry to leave. We gave the Chapman ' s a little gift but it will never be able to pay them back for the fun and experiences we had. SENIOR YEAR And now comes the year we had long been anticipating. On September 2, 1948 we entered Room 6 to find Mr. Stubbs as our homeroom teacher and Mrs. Severance, our class adviser. New as upper classmen we could com- mand the respect of all. Once again we settled down for a year of both fun and hard work. However, we found that several changes had been made. Many of our teachers had been replaced by others but that did not bother us as the new teachers proved to be efficient and friendly. It was not long before we elected officers again. A1 Russo, of course was our President; Lois Chap- man. Vice President; Jean Cousins, Secretary; and Ralph Pendleton, Treasurer. Many problems confronted us but with the helping hand of Mrs. Severance we came out with flying colors. Once again now the year drew to a close, but this time it was different. As dearly as we all loved M. E. H. S., we were looking forward with high hopes and great anticipation to the bright future lying ahead of us. T| 21 Prophecy Towards the end of the year, Mrs. Severance became worried about the future of her beloved Class of 1948. Finally she took the Oakdale bus to Worcester to see the Great Madam Zerouni, the World ' s Greatest Fortune Teller. Nervously, she entered the small dimly lit waiting room and waited for the Madam to present herself. At last she was ushered into her private office. There, before a small wooden table, sat the Madam with a large crystal ball before her. Mrs. Severance explained the purpose of her visit. The Great Madam Zerouni nodded approvingly, and stared into the crystal ball. Slowly, she mumbled to herself . . . Aha!!!! The year is 1954. I see before me a dashing, handsome foot- ball hero, already famous for his spectacular ball playing for Notre Dame, that great football team of the U. S. In case you haven ' t guessed it, this is Bernie Belles, the sports fan of the class of ' 48. Suddenly in the crystal ball appears a quiet, rural town in Connecticut. A large white house bears a sign in front which reads, Rest Home for Old Maids . Inside, rushing around to get ready for iheir first guests , are Barbara, Jean, and Lois. By some strange coin- cidence she notices a big office across the street, with two large signs in the window. One reads, Rayworth Genelli, Artesian Well Co. ' ' ; the other reads, Whitney Radio Television Shop. Next, a hospital scene appears, and a smiling nurse dressed in a crisp, white uniform is giving orders to several student nurses standing nearby. As you know, Jean Cousins is quite well versed in this art. Her stiff Chemistry course under the instruction of Mr. Stubbs proved helpful for her career in nursing. Now the crystal ball glows brightly and a gay New York night club is seen. Sure enough it is Wayne Downer. His crooning is now enjoyed by millions. Dishes of tempting food fi ll the table, and Madam Zerouni visualizes a jolly chef in Howard ' s Clam Box — a chef who makes the night club even more popular with his world famous fried clams. Every table in the restaurant is crowded and no one has passed away — as yet! ! ! Over the exit door is c large sign, Eat here and die home , and underneath, We can ' t afford the funeral expenses . The view of a cute, white cottage by the side of the road turn her attention to another class mate, Mrs. Paul Conforti. Flip has established herself as the most accomplished housewife in the country. She is surrounded by two cute freshly scrubbed, little boys, and is doing very well keeping them on their good behavior. Bibity bop-bop bibity bop-bop — Crash!!!! Now a splendid office appears. Where IS my eraser? shouts the typist. Ha, Ha! Thought you never made an error, Eva!!! But never mind, you were the only one who ever became the perfect secretary in Miss Riordan ' s Commercial Course. Again the crystal glows. Who is this dignified man with the long brown beard? Ya-ta-ta-ya-ta-ta! Young Dr. Lovell is giving a prescription to one 22 of his patients. They give him no competition in talking since they know him too well. Mrs. Severance remembers that Johnny gave her quite some com- petition in this line. A street scene appears — a street in the great city of Boston. As the ball focuses better, she sees a newsboy holding a paper with these headlines: Extra! Extra!! The Laboratory of B. U. exploded this afternoon after Pro- fessor Nowak completed one of his successful experiments for his Chemistry Class . Under Mr. Stubbs ' s instruction, Eddie became quite a scientist. Ha, Ha. Suddenly Mrs. Severance, looking over Madam Zerouni ' s shoulder, sees a familiar scene. When she finally places it, she discovers that it is right in W. Boylston. Chug, chug, chug! Over the hill comes the Novia Construc- tion Company ' s truck. George has finally reached his goal — ten trucks, one Diesel shovel, one trailer, two bulldozers. Now West Boylston ' s streets will always be kept in perfect condition, thanks to Georgie. The scene now changes to the Bethany Baptist Church in New York, Rev. William Oser officiating. This talented young minister is giving his congregation a sermon on the Evils of Communism. Billy was always pretty good at arguing, anyway. The stage is set; the lights dim; and an attractive singer with a beautiful voice floats into the scene. It is none other than Edie. She ' s been packing them in at Frisco ' s Mocambo Club. A group of fans crowd around Edie for her autograph. But singing is only a side issue with her, as she has a home of her own and quintuplets to take care of, besides being the dancing instructor at the Petterson Dancing Studio. Again the scene changes to W. Boylston. In her beautiful new home, a busy housewife is seen with duster, broom, and scrub brush in her hand. Well, it looks like Eliza ' s housecleaning day. As you know, she resigned from Meola ' s soon after graduation, and is kept quite busy with her four little Tommy Jrs. The gym of M. E. H. S. emerges from the black depths of the crystal ball, and the shrill of a loud whistle is heard and Penny yells, You blocked him from the rear . Yes, he ' s a coach at Major Edwards, his old Alma Mater. What a team! ! ! Mrs. Severance knows all future Clark Tourney games will be victorious for Edwards, now. A multitude of marching feet come marching across the scene — and a loud order is heard. Get in line, there , calls Sarge Russo . A1 was always the guy for leadership, being our class president at school for three years in a row. Certainly looks sharp in that officer ' s uniform — Wow!!! The ball begins to move about in a rocking manner, a movement brought about by the motion of a huge ship. Lieutenant Solitro is giving orders to several new recruits. (Poor guys) — Come on Swabbie! Use some elbow grease!!! Mickey was always good at giving orders to lower classmen. It certainly didn ' t take long for him to get to the top. A well-dressed man appears on the scene, and Swenney ' s excited voice is heard, What have you got to lose? Just think, if you die in 20 years, you can collect $10,000 in insurance! ! ! Swenson makes a perfect salesman; he always has a good line. Mrs. Severance was completely satisfied after Madam Zerouni concluded. Now she is able to wish us a happy Godspeed with confidence in the ideals of her 1948 class of Seniors. N. B. Nowak came out from the explosion alive but lost his hair. ?gjl] Class Will Be it remembered that we, the class of 1948 of Major Edwards High School in the County of Worcester and the State of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory and in perfect health, do make and ordain this, our last Will and Testament. The Senior Class bequeaths to — Mr. Bixby, a plan for a sound proof office so that the noise which exists between classes will not disturb him. Mr. Sanderson, a box of new cartoons to be placed on the bulletin board so that the students unfortunately dismissed from classes will have something to pass the time away with while waiting outside the office.

Keys’ Basket ball The first game of the 1947-48 season will go down in the history of Major Edwards High School, as it was the first time that any of our high school teams had played in Boston Garden. However, after turning back Holbrook in Boston, the Jeffrey-men came back to their home boards to be defeated by the Alumni on December twelfth. The following Tuesday, Coach Joe Daniels ' Holden High team came down to invade the West Boylston gym and returned home on the long end of a 39-28 score. This was not a good beginning, and consequently, during the Christmas vacation the Major Edwards High mentor, James Jeffrey, put his team on a strict basketball diet hoping that they would come out of the slump of their last two ball games. The next game was slated against Clinton High. The Gaels had a strong team and were going to be tough opposition, but a terrific snow storm caused the game to be cancelled. On Tuesday, January sixth, the boys struck back into the win column by posting a 38-33 victory against Rutland. A strong slump followed with the Jeffrey-men losing all four of their next encounters, three on their home court and one at Brookfield. Charlton started off the slump by slapping down a poor playing West Boylston team, 22-13. A loss to Leominster in the following game showed, nevertheless, noticeable improve- CG2r-o£ ciD 36 ment on the part of the Edwardites, and the game wasn ' t terminated until an overtime period was played. Brookfield took over the West Boylston team in Brookfield, and North Brookfield, with the tallest player and strongest team in the league, came down to play Edwards on the West Boylston boards. They went home on the long end of a 38-29 score. Their height easily pulled them through. Then the West Boylston team left their court to avenge the loss which Charlton had pinned on them. The game started off evenly, but the Jeffrey- men soon pulled away and remained ahead from that time on. On the following Tuesday, the Edwardites managed to grasp hold of their first victory on their home court. The next five games were won by the Jeffrey-men, and it looked as though they had finally hit their stride. They avenged the Brookfield loss on the West Boylston boards, the Holden loss on the Holden court, defeated Oxford again in Oxford, and posted a 35-27 victory over Rutland at West Boylston. This winning streak also added another victim, the Fitchburg J. V. team, although the outcome wasn ' t assured until an overtime period was played. Grafton High, a strong local team, visited the Edwards ' gym and went home with an overwhelming victory of 50-30. The last game of the season was one of the best played by the Jeffrey-men. They went to North Brookfield to avenge their defeat which had previously occurred at the home court. Jim Jeffrey placed freshman Bob Parkin in the front court that night, and he hit the Chains for 18 points, leading the Edwardites in a near upset of the strong North Brookfield team. The game drove on through two overtime periods and was finished in a sudden death which ended with Ray Morrison of North Brookfield sinking a lay up . The final score was 39-37. The official season had ended, but the West Boylston players had two tournaments scheduled, the Clark Tourney, in which Edwards had taken first honors the previous year, and the Townsend Tourney, in which no Edwards ' team had competed before. The first game of the Clark Tourney pitted a dark horse West Boylston team against a fast-breaking Townsend team. The game was close throughout, although at times the Jeffrey-men held a fourteen-point advantage. Townsend dwindled the score down, and the game ended with West Boylston the victor, 46-41. The semi-final game paired the Jeffrey-men against a North Brookfield team, which had beaten them twice previously in the League games. The game ended in a easy victory for North Brookfield, because of poor playing by the Edwardites and their tough luck in hitting the strings. The following Friday, the West Boylston team went back to the Main-South Gym in Worcester, Massachusetts, to play Leicester High in the consolation game before the finals. Again, they were defeated, but this was a close duel, both teams matching basket for basket in the waning minutes of the game. The Townsend Tourney was next on the schedule. Major Edwards was to play Pepperell High School on the second day of the tournament. West Boylston had beaten Pepperell in a pre-season scrimmage by a decisive score and hoped to repeat the operation. Littleton was next on the list as the West Boylston opponent in the semi-finals. The game was nip and tuck all the way, 37 [fss oi Sl ss-vt- v r f T Bga , , -g , g7i p ' a a ' -gr C T] p-gg a ' . p2 L T ) but Littleton pulled it out of the fire in an overtime period after the loss of Ralph Pendleton and Howie Johnston had done considerable damage, although Chubby Goodale, a freshman, who replaced Pendleton, did a bang-up job. The team wishes to thank Antoinette Flaminio, Jean Garside, Barbara Keith, Edythe Petterson, and Audrey Rayworth for their fine backing up during this season as cheerleaders, and also the townspeople who pushed them on to victory.

Q iris ' basketball The girls had bad luck this basketball season. Practice started in Decem- ber and the first game was played on January 5. They lost this game to Brookfield and thus were off to a bad start. It seemed impossible to get out of the losing streak and consequently they ended the season with seven defeats and one victory. However, under the capable coaching cf Miss Lacouture. the girls did their best against such strong opposition Honors go to Antoinette Flaminio, Center, for doing remarkably well at keeping signals straight; to Jean Garside for always being in the right spot at the right time; and to Barbara Keith for being high scorer with 79 points. To Eliza Puccetti, Evelyn Ferrandino, and Norma Keith goes a great deal of credit for sticking with their men . The subs deserve credit also for remaining loyal to the lineup the whole season. The subs were as follows: Ruth Meola, Marguerite Hall, Rose Salluce, Eleanor Pedine, Priscilla Buck, Marjorie Downer and Anne Dellasanta. 39 40 Advertisements MWk HH T] 41 ELECTRIC COOKERY IS BEST, COSTS LESS MUNICIPAL LIGHT DEPARTMENT WEST BOYLSTON, MASSACHUSETTS QUICK, EFFICIENT SERVICE Compliments of FLAGG FUNERAL SERVICE, INC.
