We, the Senior Class of 1949, wish to dedicate this our yearbook to our good friend and counsellor, Archie Stewart. Teachers, principals, and superintendents have come and gone but he has remained one of the constant factors in our four years at M. E. H. S. May we take this opportunity of thanking you, Mr. Stewart, for your support and understanding? Through the united efforts of the Senior Class this yearbook has come into being as a remembrance of our happy years at Major Edwards. Our many principals and teachers: Mr. Good- now, Mr. Sanderson, Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Severance, Mr. Stubbs, Mrs. Carney, Miss Hollis, Miss Powers, Miss Riordan, Miss Lacouture, Mr. Stanton, Miss Jennings, Miss Sullivan, Mr. Namen, Mr. Eaton, and Mr. Kelly have all contributed to any success with which we may meet in life. As a class we have seen many changes in the world as a whole: the Atom bomb, the end of World War 11, and a theoretical peace. All these have had an effect on our high-school life. May the future bring us wisdom, peace, and security. ac uUu MR. ARTHUR P. BIXBY Superintendent Bottotu row. lej to right: Miss Hollis, Mr. Morrissey, Mr. Marshall, Miss Willard.

Even though A1 has a serious expression on his face, don ' t let that fool you, for his sudden remarks aside will surprise anyone who doesn ' t know him. Often he keeps a perfectly straight face while saying something perfectly hilarious. A1 aspires to be a dentist and we know that with his good looks and nice smile he won ' t cause his patients any pain. Good luck, A1 !

Hail to our class treasurer who has seen to it that the books have been kept well balanced. Jensen is the fun-loving member of the class who always seems to be engrossed in deep conversation during Mr. Eaton ' s U. S. history classes. He has been a great asset to the basketball team during the past _years and also to his class. We know that Jensen will be a great success in whatever he under- takes.

Jim is the comedian with the corn-coloured hair who usually squeaks in just before the bell in the morning while the other students keep Mrs. Severance ' s attention occupied. Jim ' s cracks in class are show-stoppers and he often drives the teachers to distraction by his crazy actions. He can often be found at Wes Warren ' s gas station, gassing with the boys. Jim plans to go to college and we know that he will succeed in whatever field he enters.

While walking along the corridor you may hear a somewhat raucous laugh echoing throughout Major Edwards. You know without a second thought that it belongs to Bob Derrah. If it weren ' t for Bob ' s laughing at nothing, our study halls wouldn ' t be the same. He is interested in mathematics, and with his mathematical mind, we know he will go far. Good luck. Bob! Opportunity is yours for the taking!

An excellent thing in woman. One of the most friendly and efficient girls of the senior class is Jeanette Deschenes. Her excellent ability in the commercial department has been a great asset to Edwards High. Her friendly and generous smile together with a pleasing personality make up the girl Most Likely to Succeed. Jeanette plans to be a nurse. Surely the Women in White will receive a competent and charming member in their illustrious corps.

Who is that girl with the shining black hair and ravishing black eyes and charming manner? Why that ' s our Millie, the class beauty. With a smile on her lips and a helping hand Millie has been a great asset to the class and also to Howard Johnson ' s Restaurant, where she may be found on weekends busily serving the patrons. We know that the horo- scope will predict a very happy future for such a swell gal. Good luck, Millie.

Winnie, the girl with the graceful walk and dignified manner, is not only the most studious and the most versatile senior but she is also the most argumentative. Her personality and the ability to play the piano well will get her far into the world. What would the students of M. E. H. S. have done if they hadn ' t had Winnie to pound out sweet music to their listening ears? We are sure that with all her talent she will go far in her musical career at Vermont Junior College. Good luck, Winnie!

The attractive blonde sitting in the second row can often be heard laughing at something. Pearl is rarely frowning and most often smiling. Her skill in the commercial department has proved a great help to the class. Pearl has her driver ' s license and usually her car is full as she drives to and from school. She plans to be an office secretary. Some firm will be lucky to have Pearl on its office staff. Best of luck. Pearl!

If you walk into M. E. H. S. some day and walk down the corridor toward Room No. 1, you will hear a ringing voice proclaiming, No, Mr. Eaton, 1 don ' t think that ' s so! Well, that ' s our boy Howie Johnston. Charming and good-looking, he is very popular with everyone, especially with the members of the oppo- site sex. A very busy boy, with all his offices and outside activities, Howie still manages to keep his A-plus marks. He is planning to go to college and with his charm and ability he ' ll make a good success story later on. Good luck, Howie.

Dick is one of the most helpful members of the senior c lass in the class and on the basketball floor. He is a very serious athlete and when he makes a move in sports, you can always be sure it ' s a right one. Dick works hard as a carpenter in his spare time, which gives him little time for leisure. Although he hasn ' t decided what to do when he graduates we all know that he will do well in anything he undertakes.

A happy disposition is the basis of a happy life and Ann has certainly proved this true. The monot- ony of any study hall or class is usually broken by her jolly laughter. Ann is the Lily Pons of the class. Although playing the piano is one of her many abilities, Ann is going to leave that as a hobby for she plans to be a hairdresser. Who knows, perhaps she will open a beauty salon in West Boylston. Good luck, Ann!

Bruce is the tall speed boy of the senior class. Although he is somewhat serious at times, this is just a disguise for some of that wit which is concealed so well. Bruce was very helpful to his classmates and school in securing the football trophy. He would like to become a mechanic, and we know that with his speed he will be successful. Good luck, Bruce. Basketball 1, 4; Student Council 3. 4; Junior Play Committee 3; Freshmen Play 1 JOAN RINDFLEISCH Joanie Not a word spoke she more than was necessary. Joan ' s philosophy is Speak little and hear more , and she certainly goes by it. One hardly knows she is present in class, yet she is a good scholar and will answer immediately and correctly if called upon. She always has a smile and uses it often. In her career as a Medical Secretary this will be a valuable asset and we know that she will make a successful future for herself. Best of luck, Joan.

Why can ' t they all be contented like me? Babs, the most mischievous and talkative girl of the senior class, can be easily recognized by her witty remarks and her lilting laugh. Although Babs keeps Mr. Eaton constantly on his toes in U. S. History class, she usually gets her work in on time. Babs aspires to become a nurse. We know that with the help of her wonderful sense of humor the recovery of her patients will be amazingly speedy. Good luck, Babs. Junior Prom Committee 3; Chorus 3: Co-Manager of Girls ' Basketball 4 RAYMOND TENKEN Ray I profess not talking; only this, Let each man do his best. Ray, the Spike Jones of West Boylston, was made famous by his great impersonation of Chloe. He has a large collection of Spike Jones ' records and the class considers him their expert on musical de- preciation. His helpfulness and industry as assistant manager of the basketball squad and as chief pro- jectionist make him a great asset to M. E. H. S. Ray is quiet and a bit shy, but has a great sense of humor which should make him a great success in life.

Edwards, Sr. High School on a warm beautiful morning in September of the year 1945. We were an excited group of happy freshmen, eagerly looking forward to a happy and successful four years at Major Edwards High. Soon we found ourselves scattered along the corridors, but finally were ushered into Room 3, where a tall, dark man, who answered to the name of Mr. Namen, was waiting to greet us. A few moments later we found out that he was to be our homeroom teacher for our first year at Edwards High. After being given school supplies and hastily seated in places assigned to us, we settled down to the great task of electing class officers. President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer . Howard Johnston Mildred Fallavollita Jeanette Deschenes William Teachout Jim Bristol, who hailed from New Jersey, joined our happy group at the beginning of the year. The humor which Jimmy so easily distributed was certainly appreciated by all of his classmates. Another addition at that time was Barry Whitman. After becoming accustomed to the ringing of bells, to finding ourselves in the wrong classes at the wrong time, and to doing the amount of homework given us, we decided to put on a freshmen play. Freddie Plays Cupid , under the direction of Mr. Namen, proved to be a great success, much to the astonishment of the upper classmen. With our first year coming rapidly to an end, we found ourselves thinking of a summer vacation which was ahead of us and wondering what we were going to do. SOPHOMORE YEAR The summer quickly passed and September found us once again wander- ing throughout the familiar corridors of Edwards High. To our surprise, we found ourselves once again being led to Room 3 where Mr. Namen was to act as our class advisor for our second year. Ray Merrill, a new addition, was heartily welcomed into our happy group. Settling down, we elected the following class officers: President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer . James Bristol Howard Johnston Mildred Fallavollita William Teachout In the weeks that followed we found that the amount of homework given us differed greatly from that of our freshmen year. Although we were busy we did find time for a few activities. Rumors were that the Freshmen were to be initiated by the Seniors. We were relieved to know that initiation plans had not been prepared for us while we were still freshmen. Later on we found out that we were expected to put on a Harvest Dance. Since this was to be our second project, we were determined that it would be successful. November 8 found couples dancing to music provided by Russ Stone and his Orchestra. To our dismay we found that Ray Merrill was leaving to make his home in Lexington. This made us a class of sixteen. Early spring found most of us suffering from a slight case of spring fever, but this was somewhat diminished when Mr. Namen came forward with an idea for a class hike. Although the hike consisted of a few minutes walk to Miss Nutting ' s back-yard, we had a wonderful time. June was drawing near and the class decided to have a class party. With everyone in favor we went to White City Park and Tatassit Beach for a day. This party completed our second year at Edwards High. JUNIOR YEAR On September 6, 1947, we returned to Major Edwards High with the realiza- tion that this was to be our busiest year thus far. To our surprise we found ourselves directed to the upstairs corridor from which we were quickly ushered into Room 4 by our class advisor Mr. Eaton. It was at this time that we lost two of our members, William Teachout and Barry Whitman. This left us with a class of fourteen. Much to our dislike we found that part of the sophomore class was to share Room 4 with us. After being given school supplies we quickly settled down to electing the following class officers: President . Vice President . Secretary . Treasurer . Howard Johnston James Bristol Jeanette Deschenes Richard Novia Knowing that it was the custom of the Junior Class to put on a play, we soon got under-way with rehearsals of a play entitled This Ghost Business under the direction of Mr. Stubbs, a member of the faculty. This play was presented on December 5. Despite the fact that oL man winter was doing his best to whip up a good snow storm, This Ghost Business proved to be a huge success. We didn ' t have any class parties this year because the Junior Play and Junior Prom took up most of our spare time, to say nothing of the homework thqt was hqnded opt most generously by the faculty. Barbara Spencer was the new Junior who joined us at the beginning of January. She proved to be quite as cheerful and jolly a member of the class as our class jester, Jim Bristol. During the year we purchased our class rings. Our next great task was that of the Junior Prom. After much planning and decorating, we succeeded in changing the auditorium on May 20 to a gay, festive sidewalk cafe scene with bright colored streamers. Couples danced to the music of Russ Holland ' s Orchestra. Despite the fact that the weather was another liability to our class, the prom turned out to be a great success. As the year came to a close, we eagerly looked forward to a much-needed two months ' vacation. SENIOR CLASS And now came the year which was the culmination of the last eleven. In September of the year 1948, we once again entered through the doors of Edwards High, knowing that this would be our last and final stay here. For we were now Seniors, and as members of the highest rank of upper classmen, we were determined to be treated with the respect due our position. Much to our delight we found that Mrs. Severance was to act as our class advisor and vneroom teacher. We settled down and elected the following class officers: President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer . Howard Johnston James Bristol Jeanette Deschenes Richard Bonci We knew that this was to be our busiest and most important year, and we resolved to make the most of it. With the help of Mrs. Severance, plans soon got under way for our Senior Annual. As the end of the year drew nearer to a close, we realized that soon w© would go out the doors of M. E. H. S., never to return again as students. Yes, too soon we would say good-bye to our classmates and friends, and turn our faces to what the future held in store for us. We would say to each other as the Spanish do, Buen viaje — Pleasant journey. A LETTER BACK FROM THE FUTURE International Airport West Boylston, Massachusetts The Year — 1959 Dear Students of M. E. H. S.: I must tell you about the wonderful experience I had a few days ago. It really was the climax of my career as recording secretary at the West Boylston Airport. A huge rocket was in position for the take-off and the large crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacular event was patiently awaiting the distinguished passengers and the crewmen. It was the first rocket to the moon that had ever been shot from the newly-constructed West Boylston Airport. I was one of the group making the trip, because I had been appointed to go along to record the observations of the two very eminent scientists who were passengers. As their identity had to date been kept a secret, we were, of course, anxious to find out who they were. Within a few moments we observed a man and woman approaching, and as they drew nearer I was delighted to find that they were both well known to me. One was Capt. Stubbs, who, as a member of Uncle Sam ' s reserve, was going along to prepare a report for the army. The other was Mrs. Severance, who, since her retirement, had become interested in inter-stellar research and had written many books on the subject, and was now making the trip to acquire data for her next volume. Of course, they recognized me, but we had only a few moments for reminis- cences about our days together at M. E. H. S. before we boarded the large rocket ship for our journey into the stratosphere. With a loud roar the rocket ship shot off into space, leaving a trail of smoke behind it. When the rocket landed on the moon, after a fast and thrilling trip, Capt. Stubbs and Mrs. Severance decided to explore immediately the silent, eerie, Planet. Donning their space-suits, they stepped out into a fantasia of huge shapes and shadows. Capt. Stubbs took from his pocket his powerful little portable telescope. He set it up facing the Earth, and found he could see the Earth and everything on it very clearly. After looking through it for a few minutes, he asked Mrs. Severance if she would care to look. She then took over and here are some interesting sights that she observed. First she saw a man with a brief-case, looking tired and disheveled, travel- ing along a country road and going from house to house, obviously trying to sell his products. The look on his face told her in an instant that business was not very good that day and that he ' d have to try again. Yes, her deduc- tions were correct. It was Howie Johnston, the insurance salesman of her Class of ' 49. As Mrs. Severance turned the telescope in another direction, she saw a terrified man running at full speed down the street, with a man in white chasing him. She remembered the pursuer well. Evidently he was in business for himself. Who else could it be but Dr. A1 (Hopalong Cavity) Anthony, a dentist! Refocusing the telescope she made out a large man upon a house top. She finally realized, through the flying sparks and tangled wires, that it was Dick Bonci, first-class electrician. Boy, I ' ll bet his fingers got tired of shocks after a day like that! Probably he had grown accustomed to shocks from standing next to Derrah during lab. period. As she looked around again, she could see a tall young woman seated at an organ in a large church in New York. As the girl ' s fingers flew over the keys, Mrs. Severance realized that it was Winifred Hubbard, the pianist of the Class of ' 49. She was now an organist — choir director at this church and an instructor at the Julliard School of Music. Mrs. Severance remembered that at school Winnie had always been very busy playing for all school qctivities. It seemed that she was still busy. Peering over the Earth ' s surface, Mrs. Severance located her home town of Oakdale. Here she looked into the Oakdale Memorial Hospital, a splendid building erected at an expense of half a million dollars. There she saw at the desk in the main office a young lady whom she recognized as Joan Rindfleisch. Joan was giving orders to the nurses and information to various guests. As she was talking to nurse Barbara Spencer, Jeanette Deschenes, another nurse, came in to join the conversation. These nurses are neuro- psychiatric specialists and are considered the best in the country. With a slight move of the telescope, Times Square, New York, was brought into focus. Wondering what the news was, Mrs. Severance found a news stand and read the following headlines: BRILLIANT YOUNG SCIENTIST MAKES NEW DISCOVERY, BUT BLOWS UP LABORATORY IN DOING SO! This was none other than her own Bobby Derrah, a famous nuclear physicist scientist. We ' d hoped Bob would never change — guess he hasn ' t. The telescope was then adjusted to bring into view a large building owned by the New England Power Company. As she focused it on a window, she noticed a man inside checking the work being done on one of the very large Diesels owned by the company. When the gentleman turned around she knew in an instant that it was a former student, Dick Novia, now a top Diesel engineer. She then re-adjusted the telescope and noticed a sign which read, Ann ' s Beauty Shop — Exterior Decorating . When the door opened she could see Ann Pendleton busily engaged in making some lucky woman prettier than ever before. The telescope was focused again on a large flat area where Mrs. Severance could see a big construction concern at work building a new theatre. She read a sign that told her this was the Bristol Construction Company, owned and operated by James E. Bristol, Jr. Jim was not around then, for he was back at the office drawing up plans for a large construction job he would soon start in South America. Lucky for him that he learned so much Spanish at Major Edwards. Re-focusing the telescope, she saw a large group of children playing in a field. She looked more closely and found her attention drawn to a tall figure standing near the edge of the field giving some boys a lecture. After watching him for a few minutes, she identified Ray Tenken, now a social worker who owned and operated a large boys ' camp. He was trying to make the young people happy by letting them do whatever their hearts desired. The telescope was again turned, this time to a doctor ' s office where a beautiful young lady was at the office desk. Upon closer observation Mrs. Severance could see that the girl was Millie Fallavollita, a medical secretary to Dr. Luigi Goosegge. She knew that Millie would keep up her good work and bring fame and fortune upon herself- -if she didn ' t get married first. Once more the telescope was turned, and she saw a young mechanic at work in the Ajax Auto Garage. She could not see his face, but as he came out from under the vehicle that he was working on, she recognized him, despite the dirt on his face, as Bruce Phelps, now the top mechanic at the garage. (V ith the thorough overhauling that he gave an automobile there were countless old 1949 cars on the road.) Finally seeing that all the members of her Class of ' 49 had safely embarked upon the road to success and happiness, Mrs. Severance was satisfied. Then with the words — I always knew the Class of ' 49 would turn out well, she turned back to the rocket and prepared for the journey back to the earth. Sincerely, PEARL JEWETT Airport Recording Secretary QIg 44. iU We, the Senior Class of the Major Edwards High School of West Boylston, of the County of Worcester, Massachusetts, being indisputably of sound and disposing mind and memory and about to pass out of existence, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us at any time heretofore made: Item I Item II Item III Item IV Item V Item VI Item VII Item VIII Item IX Item X ARTICLE I To Mr. Marshall we leave a soundproof office so that the future study pupils in Room No. 8 will not bother him. To Mr. Bixby we leave a recording of the pit-a-patter of our delicate little feet tramping about the corridors. We realize how much he must have missed these sounds during the past year. To Mr. Eaton we leave a book entitled How to Draw so that his future U. S. History classes will not be baffled by any sketches they may find on the board. To Miss Powers we leave two husky boys to move the milkcases after lunch period, namely Norman Gallagher and Norman Goodale. Now you won ' t have any excuse for interrupting fifth period study halls. To Miss Hollis we leave a list of activities so that her next year in West Boylston will be full of excitement. To Mr. Stubbs we leave a magnet so that he can draw back into Room No. 6 all students who do not find eighth period interesting. To Mrs. Carney we leave a cook book and soda-mints so that her newly acquired husband will not get indigestion from her culinary efforts. To Mr. Kelly we leave a soft pillow so that he will be much more comfortable sitting on the trunk while riding to and from basketball games. To Mr. Morrissey we leave a watch in order that his pupils may be able to go to lunch on time and not keep the upper-classmen waiting. To Mrs. Severance we leave our sincere appreciation for all the things she has done to make our school years happy and profitable. Item XI To Mr. Stewart we leave a new ventilating system so that when he sprays any disinfectant around in the upstairs corridors, it will cir- culate throughout the school and not remain in Room No. 4. Item I ARTICLE II Dick Bonci leaves his Ipana smile and sunny disposition to Robert Goyer, and also a tip, Laugh and the World Laughs With You, Weep and You Weep Alone. Item II Jim Bristol leaves his witty remarks and extemporaneous jokes to Paul Renault. He leaves these gifts in the hope that Paul will take good advantage of them. Item III Joan Rindfieisch leaves her quiet and reserved manner to all the incoming Sophomore girls. Heaven knows they need it. Item IV Bruce Phelps leaves his uproarious laughter to Chubby Goodale, although Chubby seems to have a style of his own. Item V A1 Anthony leaves his subtle way of deceiving the teachers so that he doesn ' t have to stay after school to Norman Gallagher. We really don ' t think you need this. Squash, (or do we?) Item VI Dick Novia leaves his quick timing on the basketball floor to Harold Phelps. This, together with Harold ' s height, will be a great asset for next year ' s squad. Item VII Barbara Spencer leaves her quick temper to Janice Phelps. It might be hard at first, Janice, but you ' ll get used to it. Also, she leaves her substitution work in the office to any girl whose ambition is to become the perfect secretary. Item VIII Pearl Jewett leaves her radiant smile to all the high school girls. Maybe with this smile the girls will be able to win more than one heart as Pearl has. Item IX Bob Derrah leaves his patents for airplanes, which might be found in Room No. 4, second row from the door, last seat, to Eddie Denton. We know that you ' re quite an expert on these already, Ed, but a few more suggestions may be of value to you. Item X Niffie Hubbard leaves to Nancy Pibus the wearisome task of play- ing for the Junior and Senior High chorus. Now, you ' ll know how Niffie feels, Nancy. Item XI Ray Tenken leaves his well-groomed crew-cut to John Gillander. Get ready, girls; here he comes. Item XII Howie Johnston, God ' s gift to the women, leaves a photograph of himself for all future senior girls to admire. Item XIII Jeanette Deschenes, who has done so well as class secretary, leaves her great efficiency to Martha Bonci and her clearly written short- hand to Virginia Pyne. Item XIV Ann Pendleton leaves a card of bobbypins to John Natola. There will be no reason why you can ' t make that extra basket now, John. Item XV Millie Fallavollita leaves her ability to chew gum in any class without the teachers ' knowledge to any one who thinks she is as clever. The Senior Class leaves.

Ha6JzeiL Ul For the second consecutive year the Edwardites started the basketball season in the Boston Garden. This first game was scheduled for the afternoon of December 6th and was attended by two bus loads of fans from the school. The game started at 2:30, and at half-time the opposing quintet from Sumner High of Holbrook had rolled up a 22-12 lead. At the final buzzer the Holbrook five had a 7 point lead, 32-25, and so our first game ended in defeat. High scorer for Holbrook was White with 12, and for Edwards, Parkin with 8. The next game on the schedule was played on December 14th, against Holden at Holden. The Edwardsmen got off to a poor start and at the half the score was Holden 15, Edwards 6. During the second half there was more spirit and better playing as the Edwards five brought the score up. In the last quarter the score was tied up. Then Edwards pulled ahead by a few points, only to see Holden tie it up again. In the remaining minutes of the game Holden got a 4 point scoring spree and stayed there to give Edwards its second loss. High scorer for Edwards was Parkin with 11, and for Holden, Noel with 9. On December 17th, we played our first home game with a fighting Alumni guintet. At the half the Edwardites led 22-9 and kept a comfortable lead all the way, winning by a score of 45-24. Richard Novia led the Edwards attack with 15 points and Vic Novia, the Alumni with 9. Thus with a win under our hats, we confidently moved into Leominster only to be pulled under on the short end of a 56-31 score. The Leominster drive was led by Crowley who netted 12, and Novia for the Edwardites scored 9. For the last game in ' 48 the Edwardsmen arrived in Northboro on Dec. 30th. The Edwards five were thoroughly trounced by a fighting Northboro team 42-20. Couture led the Northboro quintet with a hefty 22 points, and Flagg made 5 for Edwards ' highest score. The first game of the new year we played in Grafton on January 4th and suffered another defeat, 48-37. Novia netted 1 1 points for Edwards. On January 7th we started our league games, playing this first game with Brookfield at Brookfield. This was to be one of the most depressing and hottest games of the season. At the half the score stood 13-17, Brookfield leading. As the second half progressed, Edwards took the lead 33-30, with two minutes to play. Then an argument over a technicality rose and we had to forfeit. We knew, however, that our coach Jim Jeffrey was right all the way. Our second home game of the year was played against Rutland. After the first half it looked like a pushover for we had a 29-11 advantage, but the Rutland team came to life in the second half, and when the final buzzer rang, the score was a tie at 45-45. In the overtime period of three minutes, no field goals were scored, but in the final seconds Roy Buck sank two free throws to win the game. Rutland ' s Weller was high scorer for the night with 23, and Novia led Edwards by netting 14. The Edwards quintet left for Oxford on January 14th. The Oxford five had been undefeated up to that time, and we were going to try to stop their winning streak. We were doomed to disappointment however, as the game got off with a bang for Oxford. At half time the score was 32-7 in their favor. At the final bell it was 60-15. Flagg scored 8 for the Jeffrey men and Mahota, a hefty 20 points for Oxford. The next game was played at home with the Joe Dainial ' s hoopsters from Holden. It was a nip and tuck ball game in the first half. The teams seemed evenly matched, and at the half Holden was leading 17-16. In the second half the Holden team managed to squeeze out an 8 point lead, and by the time the final buzzer rang they had a 44-36 win. Fosberg of Holden led the scorers for the night with 18, and Flagg for Edwards hooped 8. The Edwardites were host to the Charlton team on January 21st. The game rent just about the way we wanted it to go. At the half-time we led 15-4, and at the end of the game we had a 30-16 lead. High scorer for Edwards and the game was Roy Buck with 8 and for Charlton, Parangeli with 5. On January 25th we left for the long trip to North Brookfield. At half-time North Brookfield led 29-18, and they kept the lead, winning comfortably over Edwards 46-35. The high scorer for the night and for North Brookfield was Nealer with 15 and for Edwards, Novia with 10. On January 28th, the Jeffrey men left for Rutland to avenge the near defeat of their previous game. At the end of the first half it looked like another close game but with Edwards in the lead 21-16. In the second half the Edwards hoopsters came to life and won easily, 41-26. Northboro came to the Edwards court on February 1st, feeling pretty cocky. However, in the first half the Edwardites played good ball and led 18-17. In the second half Edwards slowed down, and Northboro found its pace and won 39-24. Flagg hit the net for 10 points for Edwards while Flynn netted 17 for Northboro. On February 4th Edwards tried hard to avenge the 60-15 defeat it had received from Oxford on the Edwards floor. The first half was nip and tuck with Edwards leading 18-17, but the same bad luck that had prevailed in the Northboro game downed us in the second half again, and Oxford won 34-27. Mahota led the Oxford attack with 16, and Flagg hooped 14 for the Jeffreymen. On February 8th we left for Charlton. It was a basket for basket game the first half, with Edwards having a one point lead 21-20, at the buzzer. In the second half the Edwards hoopsters set the pace and won decisively 50-27. The high scorer for the night was Bob Parkin with 12 points, and for the losers, JJugar with 9. The next game was the return game with North Brookfield on our home boards. Edwards had a lead at the quarter of 6-4, but at half time North Brook- field High School led 20-15. At the final buzzer, the Edwardites were behind 39-31. Novia for Edwards hooped 12, tying Morrison of North Brookfield for the game ' s high scorers. The next and last scheduled game meant a great deal to the Edwards players and the coach, because it was with Brookfield who at the first meeting had won on what we considered a badly executed forfeit. We fought our way to a 14-6 quarter-time and a 22-12 half-time lead. We went on to keep the lead and won, much to our elation, 45-25. February 21, 1949, the Edwards Five played the first game of the Clark Tournament against Charlton. The Jeffreymen took an early lead in the first quarter of play and kept this advantage with a score of 31-9 at the half. Returning in the second half, the Edwards Quintet managed to keep their lead and still lengthen it with the final score, Edwards 58, Charlton 15. High scorer for Edwards was Jim Flagg, 22; and for Charlton, Kerr and Card, both manag- ing to produce 5 points each. The next Clark game for Edwards High was played February 23, 1949, with Edwards opposing Oxford. The game was a good battle all the way with the score at half-time 25-20. In the second half the Oxford men kept their five point lead, and at the final buzzer the score was 40-35. High scorer for Edwards was Dick Novia with 12 points and for Oxford, Balasiskas and Mahota, each scoring 17 points. The final Clark game of the year for Edwards was played February 25, 1949, with the Jeffreymen opposing Northboro. Northboro had us pretty well checked during the course of the game, keeping out in front at the half with a 26-22 advantage. The second half saw the game still in control of Northboro, and by the time the game was over, Northboro had racked up a 60-48 score. High scorers of the game were for Edwards, Flagg with 27; and for Northboro, Flynn with 15 and Couture with 14. On March 2, 1949, the Edwards Quintet traveled to Townsend for the Townsend Tournament with West Boylston opposing Townsend. Townsend went right to work on us and took advantage of our slow starting with a half-time score of 34-17. In the second half the Edwards five began to connect with some of their shots, and by the time the final buzzer sounded the Jeffreymen had crept up to on 8-point difference. Townsend won by a 62-54 score. High scorer for Edwards was Parkin with 19 points, and for Townsend, Dyer with 30 big points. J. V. Basketball The Jayvees, captained by our own Jim Bristol, furnished lively competition in preliminaries at varsity games, and it will be upon some of these second team players together with leftovers from this year ' s varsity that Jim Jeffrey will base his hopes for another successful season. These Jayvees had rough luck in some of their games. In the Grafton game the opposing quintet in the last possible second threw up one that won the game. There was an argument because many claimed that the ball was not in the air at the buzzer, but ruling was that it was good. It was a hard game to lose. The second game with Holden, was won by the opposing five on an unearned basket. Since Holden won by two points only, this basket may have meant the game. Thip also was a hard game to lose. The boys on the teams take this opportunity to express their appreciation for the able coaching of Mr. Kelly and Mr. Jeffrey.

They lost the first game to Northboro and this loss brought them bad luck. Although they lost all the games, they played good and exciting ones. They were good losers, but they would have been better winners. The high scorers for the season were Bette Flagg with 29 points, Jane Flagg with 22 points, and Marguerite Hall with 16 points. Credit should go also to the rest of the team, Joan Bristol, Nancy Pibus, Judy Anderson, Velma Downer, Catherine Rotti, Kathleen Cosgrove, Ann Jackola, Norma Keith and Ruth Meola.
