As Is customary, we Inexperienced Freshmen were excited about entering this final, and busiest phase of our public-school education. Those chosen by the class to represent us during the Freshman year were: President - Robert Howlett Vice President - Robert Webster Treasurer - Therese McCarthy Secretary - Nancy Stagg Our admission to the realm of High School life was by means of the Initiation of Freshmen by the Juniors, a mem¬ orable experience. Frequently, during the year, the class was Invited to enjoy the recreational facilities at Nancy Stagg ' s house. During this year, Robert Webster left the class and entered high school at Fryburg, Maine, After our summer vacation, we looked forward to en¬ tering our Sophomore year, although the class now had been reduced to twenty five students. The class officers during the Sophomore year were: President - Robert Howlett Vice President - Marie Vasaturo Secretary - Nancy Stagg Treasurer - Therese McCarthy Toward the end of the year, we received our 1952 class rings. The style was West Point with a large M engraved above the lettering Medfleld . It was our privilege, as the Sophomore class, to deco¬ rate the auditorium at graduation which has, since then, be¬ come a school tradition. September, 1950 and our Junior administrators were: President - Marie MacLeod Vice President — Anne Hlnkley Secretary - Nancy Stagg Treasurer - Therese McCarthy During our Junior year, we held several successful events Including the Junior-Freshman Frolic and the Junior Prom. The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held in June. With the Freshman and Sophomore girls as waitresses, our mothers prepared a delicious meal, which was followed by a dance. At graduation exercises, Nancy Stagg received the History Award and Robert Howlett was presented the Havard Book Award. After the closing of school, Robert Lougee and Ronald Gorman attended the Boy’s State Convention. The- girl chosen to represent Medfleld High School at Bridgewater was Nancy Nowers. Entering our last year, the senior leaders were as follows: President - Ronald Bombelli Vice President - Robert Howlett Secretary - Nancy Stagg Treasurer - Therese McCarthy Throughout the year, with the splendid cooperation of the Mother’s Club, we ran many events for the benefit of the Senior-Class trip. The class play, A Case of Springtime proved to be a tremendous success, as a result of the constant rehearsing and patient direction of Miss McGrath. Our class ran several record hops which were concluded with one featuring Bob Clayton, one of the most successful high school dance events during the year. The Class trip, which took place during the week of April 11th, fulfilled expectations of every senior. The itinerary Included tours of New York, Washington, and his¬ toric places in Virginia and Pennsylvania. We only hope that our Mr. and Mrs. Hastings enjoyed our company half as much as we did theirs. We are Indeed fortunate to live in a community such as Medfleld, where there is an opportunity to complete our school years in such a way. Now, having striven through four years of high school, we are approaching the culminating event of our graduation from Medfleld High School. CLASS PROPHECY I could see International Airport In the distance and I was late again, as usual. Driver, please hurry, my plane leaves In three minutes. As I looked at the driver more closely, I knew I ' d be there on time, for Bvron 0 ! Donnell always got there on time. ■Where to, lady? said Byron, glancing over his shoulder. When Byron finally recognized me, we talked of old times and I was quite surprised to find that Byron was now National Champ In speed boat racing. I said hurried good-byes to Byron and rushed Into the airport. While boarding my plane, I saw the hostess who was, much to my surprise, Charlotte Fenton , who I knew had been a hostess for six years, but I never dreamed she would be on my plane. After getting settled, I heard the hostess talking excited¬ ly to someone behind me. I turned around to see Just what the commotion was about and—of course—Anne Hlnkleyl Charlotte had arranged It so Anne, who Is no longer Anne Hinkley, but Mrs. John Moody, and I could sit together. Then Charlotte pro¬ ceeded to tell us that Janice Clark had Just been elected Woman Athlete of the Year, and was now playing golf In Florida, where she also maintained an agency for Lonely Hearts. As Charlotte rose to return to her duties as hostess, the plane lurched forward. Anne and I turned around to see if everything was all right, and we found Charlotte picking herself up from the floor. After Charlotte put herself together again, Anne and I began to discuss why we were flying across the coun¬ try. Anne told me she was going on a special Interior Decorating Job in Boston, and had left her little family of red-heads home with their father, Jack Moody , who now was sponsor of the Bilton Merle Show. You know, that program that advertises Moody ' s high grade, exceptional quality, flawless, pure mahogany toothpicks. When Anne asked how my race horses were doing, I told her I was talcing my trip in order to see one of my best horses, which was now in the care of the most capable veterinarian in the country, a former classmate of ours, Nancv Nowers . who Is noted for the breeding of a non-buzzing, non-stinglng, non¬ biting mosquito. The purpose of this little insect is anybody ' s guess. Our first stop was Chicago, where a few passengers boarded the plane. Among them was a distinguished looking gentleman, whom we recognized as Bob Cantoreggl . now a Foreign War Corres¬ pondent and author of the famous book— Medfleld Confidential . As they changed pilots, we found that the one now taking the plane was Bonald Jet 1 G erman . quite well known for his accomplishments In the field of aviation. After seeing so many former classmates, Anne and I decided that It would be swell to have a class reunion. As we were listing the names of the classmates we had al¬ ready met, Charlotte served us snacks and turned the television on. The very talkative mistress of ceremonies looked and sound¬ ed quite familiar, yes—it was Theresle McCarthy who was In¬ troducing great celebrities, the first of whom was Nancv Stagg . first woman President of the United States. After Nancy made her campaign speech for re-election, Theresle Introduced another celebrity, Robert Lougee . concert pianist, whose beautiful play¬ ing added to the nostalgia of the program. By the time we landed in N.Y., our list of former class¬ mates had begun to amount to something. Our first day in N.Y. we decided to drop in and see Janet Zullo . designer of the beaver tail hair style, which Is now sweeping the country. When we told Janet of our plans for a reunion, she was quite eager to help us, as she knew where we could locate Marilyn Park , now doing very well as an Occupation¬ al therapist. We were quite amused to find that Marilyn’s slo¬ gan was If you are a bum, to Park you should come. That same evening we stopped at cabins in N.Y. called The Little Darling Cabins ’. As we walked into the office, the pleasant smile of Beverlv Perrin Darling greeted us. She and her husband owned these comfortable cabins. The following day, we decided to take in a baseball game. So we went to Cranky Stadium and saw the N.Y. Cranks who were under the able management of Ralph the Lip Poll . play the Boston Red Flops, owned and managed by Ronald Ya can’t beat my shnozz Bombelll . Being so surprised to see two more of our former class¬ mates, we waited until after the game so we could tell them about the reunion. When we met them, Ralph introduced us to a very distin¬ guished gentleman sitting in the box right next to the Cranks’ dugout. It was Mr. Robert Howlett . famous Wall Street Broker. Bob thought it quite a coincidence in meeting us, because he said that a few nights ago as he attended a dinner party at an executive ' s home, he discovered that Bettv Avlward was work¬ ing there as a secretary and was hard at work on her latest book on shorthand entitled Why I Disagree With Mr. Gregg . I ' m sure Mrs. Potter would be quite Interested in reading this! ' We mentioned that we were going to Boston In the morning and Bob suggested that we ride with him, as he was going there on business The following morning we left for Boston, and while riding through Connecticut we noticed a new bridge construct¬ ed over the Connecticut River.. As we rode by we saw the sign which listed the constructors of the new bridge. We found the Chief Engineer to be C. E. Waters . Stopping to see if Charles was around we met his secretary who told us that Charlie was in South Africa building a mission for the Rev . John Varnum whose work had taken him down there. We were quite surprised to find that the Jack Varnum we knew in High School was now a minister and had established an orphanage for homeless Siamese twins in South Africa. Now our list of classmates for the reunion was complete except for Marie Vasaturo who we all knew was head of the English Department at good old Medfield High School, where her extra curricular duties included being advisor to the student committee for the installation of Automatic Disposal Ash Trays for the Student Smoker. Full of plans we arranged one of the most memorable get togethers ever held in Medfield ' s history. Marie L. MacLeod Anne E.

Bergeron Billy Reynolds, Secretary ATHLETICS ' poct aCC The Football season for Medfield this year was one of building up the Club, host of the boys were novices at the sport, thus inexperienced. Medfield lost the first three games and then beat a heavier and more experienced Wayland team 6-0. That was the only win for the season, as the Medfield eleven dropped the next three in a row. The season ' s record was one win and six defeats. The touchdowns were made by Frank Clewes, 2; John D ' Antonio, 2; and Charles Evans with Ralph Poll scoring the extra points. Ronald Bombelli was the team ' s captain and a good one. V The Basketball season this year was not a very successful one as the Nedfleld Five won 3 and lost 11.
