CLASS HISTORY CAROL ANDERSON ELINOR SPRING As one stops to deliberate over the outstanding events in one ' s life, inevitably several things come to mind. Rarely do we find one event that predominates in the memories of many people; however, we know one thing that will remain forever in the hearts and minds of the Class of 1956, and that is our days at M.H.S. As freshmen, we all realized that before us lay four of our happiest, most profit¬ able years. It was our duty to make preparations for our future sail on the adult sea of life. Our ship docked in the harbor and year by year we added to its cargo—provisions to last for a lifetime. Now we are prepared to begin our voyage, but, before leaving, we wish to present our story to you. Our freshman year began with the election of class officers: Norman Lougee, president; Paul Cox, vice president; Carol Flagg, secretary; and Joanne Gugliotta, treasurer. Charlie Bennett was welcomed into our class and, together with thirty-four jittery fellow-freshmen, suspiciously awaited our initiation. Will we ever forget what lovely girls our boys made, or the wonderful dance which completed the Junior-Freshman Frolic? The remainder of the year slipped by so quickly that we really were amazed when the end of the year came and we were officially sophomores! As sophomores, our class officers were: David Darling, president; Richard Fisher, vice president; Mario Ippoliti, secretary; and Joseph McCarthy, treasurer. The seniors asked us to d ecorate for their graduation and we assumed the duties of upperclassmen. With a class of thirty-three members, we started off our junior year. Mary Wilson, Frank Agnello, and Robert Twing had left us and Joanne Tammero had joined us. We elected our class officers who were as follows: Peter Stagg, president; Paul Cox, vice president; Helen Smith, secretary; and John Belmont, treasurer. Our first big task of the junior year was the Junior-Freshman Frolic and, fortunately, this time we were not on the receiving end! For two months we ran around busily thinking up ingenious tricks and schemes for those freshmen. All our work was rewarded by a successful evening of fun and dancing. The St. Patrick ' s Dance on March 19, was our first record hop, which we put on, assuming the activities of seniors. We now started to plan other record hops and paper drives in order to earn our money for the coming Washington trip. On May 6 the Junior Prom was held. That night was filled with memories for all of us. At 8 o ' clock, to the music of the Music Makers, we nervously began our Grand March. Later in the evening, we left for Ten Acres. Early in June, the Mothers ' Club put on the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. A delicious roast beef dinner was enjoyed by the juniors, seniors, the faculty and school committee members. The seniors then read the class prophecy, will, and history. Soon we would be officially the seniors of Medfield High School. September—1955! The Class of 1956 reported to room 202. We were now seniors. When we selected our officers for our last year in high school, the honors were given to Paul Cox, president; Robert D ' Antonio, vice president; Helen Smith, secretary; and John Belmont, treasurer. We had received a new class advisor, Mrs. Pederzini, as Mrs. Washburn had been appointed principal of the Memorial School. We were sorry to have lost Mrs. Washburn, but all our best wishes went with her to her new position. Two of our classmates, Loretta Stuart and Richard Clifton, had left us and, as we were to find out later, three ' other classmates would soon be separated from us. The Mothers ' and Fathers ' Clubs organized and ran several functions, such as a chicken barbecue, spaghetti supper, Christmas tree sale, square dances, and the sale of Medfield sweatshirts. We seniors are very much indebted to our parents for their work and the time which they gave to help send us to Wash ington. In October Joanne Tammero left us. On the Eve of Thanksgiving Day, our class sponsored the annual pep rally and Hobo Dance. Our efforts were well rewarded, for our team, many of which were Seniors, came through and defeated West- wood High 1 3 to 6. It was soon after this that Willis Regan took a leave of absence from school because of illness. Gail Bravo left our class and entered in Franklin. On December 17, the senior class ran a Christmas Dance with music by the Rhythm Kings. The main attraction of the decorations was the Christmas tree, glimmering with lights, in the center of the gym floor. In January, we put on our play, The Midnight Son, which was enthusiastically received by the townspeople and added much to our memories of M.H.S. Now having accumulated sufficient funds to pay for train tickets and other expenses, we are eagerly anticipating the Washington trip. The day we have heard about, dreamed of, and thought would never come is in the very near future—yes, the day we leave for Washington. Now, as we sail over the seas of life, we will see the past reflecting on the water ' s surface. Excitement, emotion, and events all emerge from the ocean depths. Of these, glimmering the brightest, are the memories of our days at M.H.S. and of those with whom we were associated and whose thoughts we treasure so much. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT MARIE CARR EDWARD LINDBERG We, the nondescript class of 1956 having been the sole dictators of Medfield High School since 1952, and having realized that our regime is about to terminate, dolefully return to the proper authorities our unconquerable supremacy.

We do hereby declare this ridiculous document to be, our Last Will and Testa¬ ment. Realizing that it is not worth the paper it is written on, or even the ink used to print it; we present it to you as a symbol of our irresponsibility. Thus it is volunteered without witness and unsigned because no one wishes to take the responsibility for this our Last Will and Testament. o o CLASS PROPHECY CHARLOTTE WOOD PAUL COX Since John and Mario and I hadn ' t seen each other for quite a while, we made a date to meet down at Nantasket in Paragon Park about 6:00 p.m. I had decided to go down a little early for a swim. As I was getting out of the car, I felt a resounding thud—probably one of those crazy women drivers again, I thought— and turned around to see who it was. There sat CHARLOTTE WOOD in her bump- proof convertible. She is manager of the women ' s division of the Globe-Trotters. With the girls now using boys ' rules, this group has built up quite a reputation and is in great demand. Charlotte had come down to arrange an exhibition game. Speaking of basketball, they have renewed my contract as coach at Maxie ' s Health Center for retired players. Two new features of our game include hawk- feathered shorts and rubber spiked sneakers. As we walked onto the beach we saw JOE McCARTHY who had taken the job of life-guard to keep in shape for the Mr. America contest. At this moment we heard screams and looked out to see MARIE CARR going down for the third time, Joe rushed out to save her and dragged her onto the beach. Just as he was reviving her, a little gal with a press card rushed up and asked for a statement from the hero. Joe ' s only reply was, I ' ve had some tough rescues but this was the hardest one yet! Marie ' s friends helped her to the first aid station and we made plans to talk with her later about her experiences as U.S. Ambassador to Siberia. Joe had his eye on that cute little reporter and since she had run off to phone in her scoop, we said we ' d follow her for him. Just as we approached the phone booth, the door flew open and out dashed our reporter, ELAINE MEZZANOTTE, Little Mezz. She screamed when she saw us, and after we had calmed her down she told us that she had come down to the beach for a day off from her hectic duties. She suggested that we go back with her to the spot where she had left CAROL FLAGG and GRETA CALLACHAN. As we walked along the beach, Elaine told us that she had heard from JANE BRYER recently. She is working as booking agent at the Miranda Chicken Farms. The Twins, DAREL and DAVID NOWERS, set up this little business to supply chickens for TV and stage. They are so highly pedigreed that they require special care, and so CAROL ANDERSON was hired as head nurse. Since Carol and Greta were both racing in the Hot Rod Championships at the Norwood Arena the next day, they felt they needed a day of rest before the big race. We found them lying on the beach listening to their favorite station-WRAR. This is owned and operated by ANN PALUMBO and HUGH MICK and they play nothing but Rock and Roll from dawn to dawn. I guess they both got plenty of experience at those good old record hops. As we walked farther down the boardwalk, we saw DAVID DARLING, very busily pasting advertisements over everything. We stopped and asked him what he was up to and he really told us. He gave us his whole commercial for his new King-size Tubas and showed us all his new ads. He had just hired WILLIS REGAN for his new advertising manager and now David was getting his ads where people could see them. Just then we looked over into the parking lot and there stood NANCY DUFFY and Goodie trying to herd a mob of kids into the school bus. This was their annual class trip and Nancy and Goodie were having about as hard a time round¬ ing up the little dears as our chaperons did when we used to go on trips. Paul noticed that it was nearly 6:00 p.m. and so hurried off to meet John and Mario. Since none of us had anything special to do, Carol, Greta, Elaine and I decided to go over to Paragon Park to watch the amusements. As we entered we saw two very familiar people coming down the slide in the Red Mill. They were JEANNE SARGENT and BOB D ' ANTONIO who were just making a test run, for they now own it. While we were walking away, somebody called to us and we turned around to see HELEN SMITH and EDDIE LINDBERG getting off the Roller Coaster. They came over to talk for a while, and Helen is now running her own “Betty Crocker Future Homemakers ' School. Eddie has recently been taking pictures of it for an article in “Harpers. Since the editors were getting old and their style was not quite up to par, ELINOR SPRING has taken over as editor-in- chief. We next crossed the park to see how “Deek ' s Bumping Cars were doing. RICHARD FISHER, Deek, has that little establishment in the summer, and sells very used cars in the winter. His specialties are Model A ' s and T ' s. When we saw Deek, he told us that last week he had run into BOB WATERS driving a dynamite truck. He said that Bobby went all to pieces when the dynamite truck exploded and that he has to be kept very quiet. After we left Deek, we decided to look for someplace to eat. On the way, we met Paul, Mario, and John who were also on the same mission. Elaine, as per usual, said Let ' s have a party! , and so we found a semi-quiet corner of Howard Johnson ' s in which to sit and talk about old times. MARIO IPPOLITI told us that his Greekmobile plant was doing a whopping business. JOHN BELMONT gave us the latest figures as to the finances of the National Football League. It seems that after he had been playing for a while, the managers heard of his excellent reputation as a financier. They then signed him not only to play, but to also be treasurer of the league. This is quite an honor, for he is the only playing treasurer in the history of the league. Paul told us that he ' d heard that PETER STAGG was doing very well on the staff at the Leonard Morse Hospital, and that he had been doing a little experi¬ menting on the side. He ' s developed a scientific formula called Pete ' s Pep Potion for Pooped Seniors, to try to make that last year at M.H.S. a little less tiring. We also discovered that NORMAN LOUGEE and BRUCE MacPHETRES have been working on inventions of their own. Bruce has just built a Hi-Fi-Fi set, the newest thing in high Fidelity radios, and Norman has come out with a new kind of car without tires, for winter driving. Just as we were finishing dinner, we heard a police whistle and the sound of tramping feet outside. The door of Howard Johnson ' s swung open and in marched JOANNE (GUGLIOTTA) HOVEY and Chuck followed by a squad of kids.- At the order of Halt 1-2 and Fall out, they all raced for the soda fountain. I guess Chuck ' s military training really comes in handy controlling his own private army. When we finished dinner, we decided to go over to the new hotel near the beach. Its owner is CHARLIE BENNETT and it is unique in its Early Morning Rule. This specifically states that no noise whatsoever shall be made in the hotel before 11:00 a.m. to allow its guests, and its owner, of course, to sleep late. GAIL BRAVO has been hired to sing in the ballroom with CHARLIE CLOUGHERTY as her accompanist, and manager. What could be a more perfect ending to a day like this one, than to sit together and listen to one of our own classmates sing an old favorite of ours, Moments To Remember! CLASS SONG Tonight we leave dear Medfield High, And though we hate to say good-bye. We won ' t forget these years we ' ve spent togethe The loyal friendships that were born— These memories will linger on. In our hearts these days will live forever. Though time has passed so swiftly And our parting ' s drawing near, The laughter we ' ve been glad to share Will echo through the years. Our life at Medfield High will be Forevermore a part of us. We ' ll have such precious moments to remember. Words: Ann Palumbo Tune: Moments to Remember CLASS MOTTO If God be for us, who can be against us?
