But, despite a change in meeting night and time, the spirit behind the club and the support the girls have given it, have not changed. Some of the more in teresting programs which the Program Committee was fortunate in obtaining for us, were: Miss Sarah Hume; Mr. Edwin Karston; Mr. Frederick Lacey; Mr. McCarthy from the Massachusetts School for the Blind; our principal, Mr. Wilder; Mr. Charles Robinson; Mrs. Janies Romeyn; and Miss Mosher, from the International Relations Bureau. The membership committee has inducted many new members whose en- thusiasm in a sign that the ideals of the club will be ably upheld.

On the way the Viscount is robbed by two notorious vagabonds — Kavannes and Cadeaux — who appear at the Fair as the Viscount and Baron, hoping to make a rich haul of money and jewels. The real Viscount arrives and is immediately arrested, because Ilavannts says he is the one who has robbed him. After this complication, Kavannes agrees to the plan that Errninie and Eugene elope. He tells them to bring jewels and money; so that later he can steal those. When everything is set for the escape of the vaga- bonds with their plunder, the Captain of the Guard arrives with the real Viscount.

In many ways this system was better than the old, as there was a larger group of people to choose from, and the different classes were represented, thus giving a wider range of ideas. The pupils who volunteered and were approved by their last year’s English teachers, met every stationary period in 401 under the able super- vision of Miss Cook and Mrs. Holland. Another change was in the size of the paper. This year “The Imprint’’ was smaller because of the paper shortage and increased expense. Also, the smaller size made it easier to handle and more professional looking. Every other issue was printed by Spaulding-Moss. As yet, the staff for next year has not been chosen, but we are looking forward to an equally successful year. Junior Red Cross President Olive Brady Vice-President Ruth Bruce Secretary Marjorie Hatch Treasurer Shirley Webster Sponsor Miss Sachs The Junior Red Cross opened this school year with a highly successful membership drive. The. student body contributed one hundred per cent. The projects carried on at our weekly Friday meetings have been scrapbooks, sweaters for the army, and utility bags for the boys going overseas. The annual Red Cross dance was held in February to earn funds to carry on the Club’s work for the coming year. Since Washington conventions are cancelled for the duration, Olive Brady and Shirley Webster attended a one-day conference at Worcester, May 15. That completed activities for this year. Senior Speakers ' Bureau P resilient l ne-President Ethel Shaw IfeVll Vogt Secretary Treasure r Marianne Rand Cabot Easton Speakers’ Bureau this year lias provided lor its members an introduc- tion to the proper methods ot public speaking. Vast experience has been gained tor the bureau by introducing guest speakers at assemblies, and doing dramatic readings for school programs. The bureau was called upon for a somewhat different task this year, in connection with the Parent-Teachers ' Association, which brought to the students of the school a series of voca- tional conferences. Each member introduced at least one of these vocational speakers and assisted in conducting the programs. Speakers’ Bureau is indebted to Miss MaeXamara and Mr. Carney for their helpful interest and able guidance. The Outing Club opened the year with an enrollment of eighty-two boys and girls. We put on the annual Victory Dance the night before Thanks- giving. It was well attended, despite the poor weather conditions. Several roller-skating parties were held during the year with plans pending for bicycling and hiking trips. The ski team was ready for any competition that could be scheduled, to no avail. The officers this year were as follows: Outing Club President Oliver Gardner V ice- President Marion Wakefield Seereta ry Treasure r Sponsor Carol Wildes Thomas Snow Mr. Benedict 78 79 80 Brush and Palette Club President Carol Wildes Secretary-Treasurer Robert Hong The Brush and Palette Club is new this year, taking the place of the Crafts’ Club of former years. It meets every two weeks under the able direction of Miss Dowling and is open to upper classmen only. In order to start a new club this year the activities had to pertain to the war effort. To comply with this, we have studied camouflage in all it phases. Information on camouflaging was brought in to be studied and then the members divided into groups, each group constructing cardboard models of a section of a town to be camouflaged. The experiment has proved enjoyable to all members and is a success in every sense of the word. Rifle Club President Bob Turkington Vice-President Bob Eaton Secretary Walter Amadou Treasurer Bob Howe Ex. Officer Bill Condell Assistant Ex.

During the school year of 1942-1943, the club has sent in targets and received medals from the War Department for t wenty of its members. This is an exceptionally high average. Postal matches have been shot against 188 clubs, also registered in the National Rifle Asso- ciation. The first team ranked 25th, and the second team ranked 50th, Shoulder to shoulder matches are scheduled to be shot against Malden, Beverly, and the school Faculty. Student Council The Student Advisory Council was organized this year to represent the pupils of the school in all matters where student opinion is desired by the administration. It functions as a medium of disseminating the view-points of the admin- istration among the student body, of conveying to the administration questions and suggestions raised by the pupils, and of co-ordinating and assisting in the administration of those areas of activity where student participation is established. The Council is composed of twenty students, including the twelve officers of the three upper classes and two delegates elected from each of the four classes. It meets twice a month, or whenever occasion demands, with the principal or some member of the faculty designated by him. All functions of the Council are to be purely advisory with the final decisions resting with the principal. War Stamp Council This year marked Hit beginning of a new activity at M. H. S. — namely the War Stamp Council. The Council consists of eight members: Lillian Young, Ethel Shaw, Gordon Coombs, Shirley Johnson, Malcolm Allen, Allan Dragone, Carolyn Cryan, and Ruth Kundlett. These very efficient members were under the direction of Mr. Ferry. The Stamp Sales are obtained m the homerooms by representatives, who purchase stamps from the Council members. M. It. S. is proud to boast of the rninute- man-llag that flys in front ot the school. Many thanks go to all those who helped make the stamp sales and Jeep Drive a great success. 83 84 Melrose High School Band Drum Major Owen MacMillan Conductor Frances D. Mont The Melrose High School Band deserves much praise, for this organiza- tion is one that means much work and sacrifice. This year the Band will present a Patriotic Concert during the National Music Week in May. Many dollars are invested in instruments and uniforms which the band itself earns at the annual concert. Hours are spent drilling and selecting music to please. The band plays at various assemblies and at parades, such as Armistice Day and Memorial Day. It also plays at our football games and contributes much color to the game. The Orchestra Conductor Miss Mont This year has proved an unusually good year for the High School Orchestra. Their work was highly commended in the fine performance t hey gave in accompanying the operetta, Erminie. The Orchestra also furnished the music for graduation. Selected groups from the Orchestra under the direction of Robert Turk- ington were asked to play for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. Drive and the Red Cross Drive. They distinguished themselves for their fine musicianship and co-operation, and reflected well on Miss Mont and Melrose High School. Due to the time in which we are living, the music for the most part has carried out the theme of patriotism which is sweeping the country today. Appropriately enough, the outstanding song played at graduation was Victory, which is the universal theme song of the country. Cheer Leaders For the first year in our Melrose High School history, we had girl cheer- leaders. Tryouts were held and five boys and five girls were chosen to act as a first team, while others were picked to make up a substitute squad. The boys who had previous experience led cheers from the first game on through the year; while the girls started with the Malden game and fought the good fight from then on. The gas shortage presented a problem in outside games; but, in most cases, this obstacle was overcome in one way or another. The regular cheer leaders were: Girls: Marian Wakefield, Olive Brady, Lillian Young, Elaine Chapleau and Elinor Jepson. Boys: Bill Copeland, Stanley Colburn, Dana Jones, Robert Moorcroft, and George Middlebrook. Underclass Officers 1944 JUNIOR CLASS President Malcolm Allen Robert McGrath V a e-P resident Secretary Treasurer Carol Jean Brown Barbara Tucker 1945 SOPHOMORE CLASS President Vice-President George Sowle Richard Williams Secretary Treasurer Martha Almlov Lawrence Brennan 87 90 Football Team Coaches Dave Gavin, Kenneth Norris Captains Billy McNamara, Ed. Gaboon Managers Donald Dock roll. Ernest Fales The above aggregation brought to Melrose High School the Class R football championship and Mystic Valley League Championship in 1942. along with an undefeated record. The 1942 season also brought to Melrose the colorful Notre Dame shift and a new coach, both getting off to a good start by immediately clicking. This team of eleven men won many games on their now famous, “Will-to-vin” spirit, rather than actual football supremacy. Billy McNamara and Edward Cahoon carried the brunt of the offensive power which was overshadowed by a sensational defensive team. This team went half-way through their season without being scored upon. Melrose toppled Malden off their road to the class A championship and climaxed their season by defeating a strong Arlington eleven, the traditional turkey-day rival. The low scores in the Melrose column was directly traced to the new system which takes a number of years to absorb satisfactorily. The Melrose front wall had all the appearances of a college line boasting several 200-pounders, topped by two of the best ends to don M. H. S. red and white, Ernie Bcnard and Bob McGrath. The hardest-hitting blocker of this championship outfit was Doug Hallahan, versatile quarterback. Tbe 1942 football eleven has made its notch in Melrose’s hall of fame and is there to stay. The Hockey Team Co-Captains .. Wendell Holmes William McNamara Edward Cahoon Manager Mart in Amlov The hockey team, coached by Dave Gavin, had an unusual but successful season. The oddity is the five consecutive tie games. Even with these ties, they gained the finals in the State Play-offs only to lose to Medford in a thrilling game with overtime and sudden death periods. Members of the team who are graduating are: Bruce Gardner, Wendell Holmes, Ed. Cahoon, Wil- liam MacNamara, William Cronin, Fred Tibbetts, and Donald Dockrell. However, there is a good nucleus for a representative team next year. Cross Country Team Couch Manager Captain Leonard Clark Albert Dean Oliver Girouard The 1942 Cross Country Team climaxed an undefeated season by win- ning ' the Massachusetts State Interscholastic Cross Country Championship in November. Captain Girouard broke three existing records in this race to lead Melrose to a decisive victory; and, if t he New England Finals had been held, M. II. S. might easily have obtained permanent possession of the trophy, which they have won twice previously. This year rounded our seven seasons under the excellent coaching of “Doc” Clark, during which time his teams have lost but three dual meets. Together with Girouard. who stood out all season, Martin Almlov, Wesley Locke, Jack Cogan, Danny Grant, Dave Whitman, John Kourke, and Arnold Thompson helped to build one of Melrose’s best Cross Country teams. Because the Athletic Association decided to conduct an Intra-Mural League, from which an All-Star Team was chosen, only four Varsity Basket- ball games were played during the 1942-1943 season. The team did very well considering the length of time it had for practice as a team. This year’s Junior Class made the largest numerical contribution to the first line, and therefore promises a good season next year. Captains were chosen each game. Captains were: Garry Bean, Ken Hatties, and Bud Niles. Varsity Basketball Manatjc r Cuach Mark Sliedd “Doc” Clark 92 93 94 Captain Manager Coach Baseball Team Bruce Gardner Ray Swift Mr. Gavin The baseball team should enjoy a successful season if the large gap in the pitching department left by graduation can be filled. The remainder of the team will be made up of veteran material, which if their experience bene- fits, should insure good backbone for the team. Despite the large number of veterans, the team will be composed of underclassmen, with few exceptions. The schedule calls for games with Malden and Medford, in addition to the regular Mystic Valley league games. Therefore, Lloyd, Keohane, Cronin, Gardner, Hallahan, and Handley along with the promising rookies should give Coach Gavin a good team to work with. Track Team Captain David Whitman Manager Elliot Smith Coach Mr. Benedict Last season the track team was very successful. We won four out of five dual meets, and also the two mile State Relay Championship. In this same championship event we took third place in the mile relay. Don Maher, Oliver Girourd, Wes Locke and Dave Whitman made up this championship quartet. Dave Whitman will try to keep his undefeated record intact as he has successfully in the last two years. Allan Dragone won the State class B 300-yard title this past winter and will try to continue this form through- out the spring. Many new faces as well as the regulars are working out now in an attempt to hold to the past splendid record. Girls’ Basketball Team Captain Barbara Carter Mmiai er Frances Tibbetts Coach Mary ' I ' . Sargent Candidates tor class basketball enthusiastically assembled in the middle of January. From this group the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class Teams were selected. These teams were most successful in games with Malden and Heading. The Varsity first and second teams consisted of the outstanding members oi the Class teams. Although the varsity teams did not win all their games, they displayed a true fighting spirit and the scores were very close. Among our opponents were: Arlington, Belmont, Lexington, Medford, and Win- chester. Carolyn Bates was the high scorer this season. Future prospects are: Doris Luti, Betty Lemont, Shirley Woodman. Florence Cicoria, Shirley Holt, and Sophie Fondulis. Girls’ Field Hockey Coach Mary T. Sargent Manager Muriel Ann Page Captain Janet Brown Again the Varsity Field Hockey Team has proved that it is capable of remaining undefeated. Due to Miss Sargent’s excellent coaching and out- standing leadership, the team was scored on only twice in the course of eight games. Janet Brown was the only “letterman’’ from the previous year. Those on the first team were: Janet Brown, captain; Lenora Vittorioso, who was high scorer; Phyllis Cheever, Barbara Carter, Carolyn Bates, Doris McLetchie, Betty Noyes, Frances Tibbetts, Janet Holt, Shirley Tibbetts, Ruth Guild, Leslie Lake, and Louise Cox. The following teams were opponents of the Varsity Team: Belmont, Wilmington, Lexington, Reading, Stoneham, Winchester, Arlington, and Swampscott. 96 97 Girls’ Tennis Team I Mu to the present situation these girls, and a few others, have not been aide to show their ability so far this year. Not only does gas rationing hinder transportation to other cities, but also the tennis-ball shortage does not help matters. Aside from all these facts, we have five or six promising Senior players. Carol Wildes, Ginny Niles, Garolyn Bates, Janet Brown, and Fran- cis Tibbetts have proven in past years that we have chances for a very suc- cessful year. The lower classes also have several prominent players who will also help bring victory. All this, plus Miss Sargent’s able coaching, will strike full force at our neighboring cities, such as Malden, Winchester, Stone- ham, and others. 98 CLASS ODE HAIL TO THE FUTURE WORDS AND MUSIC BY JEAN BRATTON AND MARIANNE RAND ARRANGED BY ARLINE KIESSLING I As we march on to greater fame Forever we’ll hold dear thy name- Our Alma Mater, banners high, The symbol of our youth and joy. With prideful voice we raise this cry; Hail to the Future ! Onward, Youth. II So from these portals, into life To meet fulfillment, joy or strife, We go with hearts and heads held high, With memories past, and dreams to come. We raise this challenge to the sky; Hail to the Future! Onward, Youth. WENDELL H. HOLMES History FREDERICK W. LACEY, JR, Presentations MARIANNE E. RAND Prophecy ELAINE K. CHAPLEAU Statistics MARSHALL’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, and Friends: We, the Class of 1943, welcome you to our Class Day Exercises. After four long years we have final- ly come to the great day, when, for the last time, we are joined with you for an afternoon of fun and merrymaking. Therefore, welcomed guests, relax, and join with us in a good time as we review the highlights of our past and the previews of coming attractions of the Class of 1943. History of the Class of 1943 Upon this day of the graduation of the class of 1943, it seems appro- priate to review the highlights of our four-year visit at Melrose High School. We entered Melrose High for the first time on September 6, 1939. We were a bewildered-looking group, I must confess, but soon we displayed our talents in various fields. Janet Holt became president of the Freshman Girls’ Club, which en- joyed a successful year under the guidance of Miss Sachs ; and Fred Blue was president of the very talented Cloak and Plume Society. Mac’s freshman football team lost two games, both by one touchdown, but showed splendid spirit with Ernie Bernard as its leader. Bill McNamara played with the varsity during his first year, and Bruce Gardner accomplished an unusual feat by gaining the third base position on the varsity baseball team. In our Sophomore year we really got into the swing of things, starting with our election of officers. Billy Mac was our president; Carolyn Bates, our vice-president; Janet Brown, our secretary; and Madelaine Cain, our treasurer. Fred Lacey and Elinor Jepson took prominent parts in the operetta, “The Gondoliers.” Fred also played the lead in the Masque and W ig play, “What a Life,” being well-supported by Marianne Rand, Jean Cuthbertson, and Dorothy Hopkins. In the sports department the hockey team won the New England Cham- pionship with the aid of our class members — Ed Gaboon, Bill McNamara, Bruce Gardner, Bud Tibbetts, Fuzzy Kearns, and W endell Holmes. Ed Gaboon and Bill Mac also held positions on the football team, and Bud Tibbetts gained a place on the baseball team along with Bruce Gardner. Barbara Carter, Janet Holt, and Janet Brown played on the girls’ basket- ball team, which completed the year by winning two-thirds of its games. The officers chosen to lead our class in the Junior year were Dave W T hitman, president; Janet Brown, his assistant; Marian W T akefield, scribe; and Janet Fales, keeper of the funds. Frey Lacey again had a major part in the Masque and W T ig play, “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” In “Rio Rico,” the operetta for that year, Gordon Glover gave a stellar performance as the ghost. The girls had an undefeated season both in basbetball and field hockey. Barbara Carter was a member of the basketball team, and Janet Brown played on the first team in field hockey. The ice hockey team successfully defended the New England Champion- ship by completing an undefeated season. Bill Cronin was the only newcomer to join those who had already played on the team in their Sophomore year. Those in our class who earned their football letters were Ed Gaboon, Bob Heileinan, Bud Tibbetts, and Wendell Holmes. Bruce Gardner took over the shortstop position on the baseball team. Martin Almlov an,d Oliver Girouard were consistently among ' the leaders of the cross country team, which experienced an undefeated season. At last we have reached our Senior year, and this year finds Dave Whitman, president; Janet Brown, vice-president; Kathleen McWade, secre- tary; and Janet Fales, treasurer. Dave Whitman is also captain of our track team. Fred Lacey and Barbara Robbins took two of the main parts in this year’s operetta, “Erminie.” Fred also played in the Masque and Wig play, “Big-Hearted Herbert,” along with Elaine Chapleau, Jean Cuthbertson, and Billy McNamara. Throughout the year Oliver Girouard has been setting new records at many track meets. The football team, using the new “T” system taught by Dave Gavin, won the Class B championship by going through their schedule undefeated, and scoring 13( points to their opponents 8. Ernie Benard, John YanGelder, Ed. Gaboon, Bob Heileman, Bill Mac, and Wendell Holmes were the senior members of this squad. The hockey team, with Bud Doekrcl.l as the only new member, reached the finals in the New England Playoffs, but were defeated in the last game by Medford. Having played all four years on the first team, Bruce Gardner was the captain of our baseball team. Garry Bean lias the unique credit of being the only member of our class ever to play on a Melrose basketball team. The girls, not to be outdone by the boys, had a very successful season in their basketball. Much credit for this goes to Dotty McLetehie, Barbara Garter, Leonora Yittorioso, Carolyn Bates, Shirley Tibbetts, Janet Brown, Janet Holt, and Phyllis Cheever. Each of these girls was also on the un- defeated field hockey team with Betty Noyes, Frances Tibbetts, Ruth Guild, and Louise Cox as their teammates. The “Imprint” Staff had a fine editor-in-chief in Irene Gramas, who also headed our Log Staff. Others on the Log Staff were Garry Bean, busi- ness manager; and Louis Feck, art editor. They have worked hard to give us a yearbook which will be cherished as symbolic of our entire school lives. The last committee to be appointed in our Senior year is the Cla-s Day Committee. As members of this committee, Janet Brown, Priscilla Lowden, Janet Holt, Ernie Bernard, Oliver Gardner, and Dave Whitman have done a fine job in arranging the events of this day for us. Statistics of the Class of 1943 Elaixe Chapleau Greetings parents and friends! It is my great honor to reveal some long-awaited statistics of this illustrious class. Hold onto your hats because here they come ! Our perfect (?) specimen would measure five feet four inches tall, and his one hundred and thirty pounds would sway above his size seven and one-half shoe. You could probably find “Mr. Average Student” at his favorite hangout chewing his plug of Beech-Nut gum and sipping a coke, with his blonde head bent over a Biology book. Although Biology is the subject he likes best (or should I say the subject that is least harrowing to his over- worked constitution), his thoughts are most likely wandering to the last dance when his best girl wore a blue dress and a red rose in her hair. Or, perhaps, lie is longing for summer vacation and the chance to indulge in his favorite sport, swimming. At any rate, he is a happy fellow engulfed in all his “favorites.” Therefore, let us turn to our “not so average” students. Heading the list of celebrities as the most popular boy is our respected class president, the amiable David Whitman. Dave, take a bow. Accompany- ng Dave for first pliace honors in popularity is Marian Wakefield, who is Girls’ Club treasurer and a peppy cheer leader. While we are on the subject of pleasing personality you might like to know our best-natured girl. She is the jovial possessor of corny side-splitters, Ethel Shaw. Jack Shinier, though short in stature, is high in good humor. Yes, he is our best-natured boy. (Enter Pauline Porter.) Is that Polly Porter, our perpetual late-comer I see sneaking in? I hear the only time she is prompt, is in getting to her locker at two-thirty. Will Florence MacKenzie and Mel MaeQuarrie kindly rise and shine? The “Macs” certainly have it in our class for good looks, as you can ee ifor yourselves. Need I say more? Although we have many athletes worthy of recognition our outstanding sportsman is Edward Cahoon. Eddie, as wearer of number “40,” made a name for himself in both hockey and football. The gals are proving that they can excel in sports and still be feminine. Will Janet Brown, our most athletic girl, please stand to show the disbelievers what I mean? Jan has been active in field hockey, tennis and basketball, in addition to holding the position of the vice-president of our class for the past three years. Janice Cayting has been voted the most dignified in our class, but don’t let her fool you, folks. Beneath that calm exterior, she is as humorous and fun-loving as one could wish. Another fun-lover is that cut-up, our class wit, Bob Howe. It his remarks weren’t truly so original and well-timed, I’d swear he had a script- writer. Our female equivalent is Marianne Hand. Her wit and ingenuity have cer- tainly been recognized, because she has been voted the most original. Randy can also sling the King’s English into any shape or form, and is deserving of the title, class poet. You will hear a sample of her poetry, later. One boy we should all take lessons from i Fred (you had better call him “Bud”) Tibbetts, who has boon recognized as the most successful bluffer — and how! His special pupil should be the unfortunate Virginia Niles, who, because she can’t get away with a thing, we dub the least successful bluffer. 1 suppose Patricia Prendergast is having a good time — but then, she always does. Patty is our class giggler and also class blusher. What have we here I 1 am surprised to learn that we have a woman- hater in this class, and his name is Maurice Nickerson. Quite a contrast to dapper Norman Small, our class ladies ' man. It you want to give flirtatious Jean Bridge the shock of her life, tell her that we also have a man-hater. Pm referring to you, Marilyn Evans. I have always wondered how Marjorie Harvey got such high marks. Now I know tin answer, she is our class grind. Eugene Woodward has tin enviable distinction of being considered a genius. The title certainly tits (lene who has all qualities of a genius except temperament. Will Elaine Hall and Robert Pulsford kindly say a word to our audience? No? Well, I really didn’t expect them to, because they are so bashful. However, will those people sitting near Elaine and Bob assist them to their feet so our friends can get a look at them? Thank you. I am now pleased to present a couple of young people who have no trouble at all standing on their own two (or should 1 say four?) feet. They are our class dancers, Janet Holt and Robert “Cherry” Good. No doubt, you have, by this time, noticed THE quiet, attentive girl. I don’t believe there is more than one. She is Ruth Kelley, our class saint. They say that Ruth has never been inside a session-hall, and that she swoons at the mere mention of the word. If you have been observant, you have also noticed well-groomed, Barbara Burkett. Her neat appearance earned her the phrase, most fastidious. Our class pals are Janet “Tibbetts” and Shirley “Brown.” — Oh! pardon me! 1 mean Janet Brown and Shirley Tibbetts. They are together so often, 1 find it difficult to keep their names straight. Ann Kevillc’s use of superlatives and her vivid imagination have caused her to be voted the class exaggerator. We don’t blame you, Ann. The more color you give if, the brighter it seems. 106 Our favorite nightingale is Barbara Robbins. Her lovely voice lias been heard at Girls’ Club many times this year, and she had the lead in the operetta. Wendell Holmes has been chosen a ; the most likely to succeed. Wendy, your personality, sportsmanship, and scholastic record speak for themselves. We feel sure that you will do Melrose High proud in the future as you have in the past ! In a lighter vein we have that jive-happy hep-cat, John Sparks. He surely beats out a mean piano. Our class artist invariably wins every drawing contest he enters and his eye-catching posters have long graced the corridors of M. II. S. and the windows of Melrose stores. You are right! He is Louis Feck. Of course, you know our class actor. He’s the inimitable Fred Lacey. Fred has had the lead in the Masque and Wig play for the past three years, and has proven himself a capable and versatile actor. Last, and probably least, is the class actress, that ham, Elaine Chapleau. Here, kind people, I must end my statistics on the class of 1943. The remainder of what I have to say can be expressed in three little words. 1 thank you! 107 Prophecy Marianne Eldridge Rand (Dressed as Cassandra) You’ll pardon the yawn, but this is not new, I’ve been giving out fates since the year one or two. By the way, Cassandra’s the name. Yes, I’m the Cassandra of Roman fame. It’s easy to prophesy and to see The future of the class of ’43, But my trouble lies in this well-known tale; Whenever I prophesy, ’tis to no avail. It was that same old story A fight for love, not glory That sealed my fate forever. Prophesy I would, but be believed ? — never. You remember that Apollo guy ? The “sharpie” that made such a hit in the sky ! Well, it was no boost to his ego supreme, When I spurned his love and shattered his dream. Now Apollo didn’t go for that “run-around,” And a suitable curse for me he found. He condemned me to prophesy forever and a day, But no one will ever believe what I sat’. And now for the fate of this class of ’43 (A lovely class, as you can see!) Believe me or not — take your choice, But now the future — learn and rejoice! On the wings of Mercury we advance ten years War is gone — no sorrows — no tears. “Beezness” is good — the world is ties gai (Told you you wouldn’t believe wliat I say. ) The clean-up squad is still across, Planning reconstruction, recompensing loss. In council with the powers — peace pipe passing round, Are peace-loving DON HOOVER and HERBIE BROWN. Paris, the city of romance and lure, One finds diversion at the Club “Etoile Bleue.” With songs warbled by “TORCHY” HATCH, Plus adagio dance by “TERRY” McWADE and “BILLY MAC.” At a tiny French village, hidden by the hills, There is a French Duck Farm run by “DICK” WILLS. And across the road at a Wayside Stand, One buys roast duck from the firm of COPELAND. Mercury’s restless — we’re off once again. This time to the top of a Swiss mountain. Here, yodeling a mountain song so jolly, Are JEPSON, ELINOR and GARDNER, “OLLIE.” On the adjacent slope, in a hut for one, The Hermit, JACK SIIIMER leads a life of fun. Traversing with groups o’er the mountain side, Is “FLEET-FOOT” FALES, the Alpine Guide. Italy is the next on this extensive list of mine, And here is “CHERRY” GOOD, Exporter of Fine Wine.

FERN BECKWITH maintains a salon for ladies’ tresses, “LOO” FECK advertises tassels for the men’s fezzes. In Russia we find, answering the call, The Russian wolves, GORDON COOMBS and “SHARPIE” SMALI Revolutionizing the art of the Soviet Ballet Are “le- danseuses” “MIKE” DEMONTIER and PAT DAY. A business man in London now we spy WARREN BENNETT, trying to sell London Bridge to each passer Famous for her house parties, the bright spot of the age, Is our own memorable MURIEL ANN PAGE. WIFE of Lord Rip Van Snort, “mirabile dictu” Is the lovable cynic, JEAN BRATTON, now mother of two. For the smart cosmopolitan, dinner parties await The arrival of FRANNIE TIBBETTS, London sophisticate. The scope of the future returns now to home, To the brightness of Washington’s capitol dome. In the White House presides GUY BACON He’s there to see that no valuables are taken Wandering around the buildings STANLEY COLBURN we see (He’s still lost — he was there in the rush of ’13.) Leader of the Quakers in the state of Penn. Is the stately Reverend BILL CRONIN His assistant, filling the parish with sunshine and joy Is BRUCE GARDNER, once such a bashful boy! New York embodies many of this class we see — Owner of a pawn shop is PHYLLIS LEATHERBEE. GEORGE HOGDON manages the Brooklyn Dodger’s team. PAUL MUNN keeps the New York Giants (What is the quaint expression — on the beam!” In an exclusive office, with the world in his lap. Sits TOMMY SNOW, the man who built the better mouse trap. Taking advantage of the tourist boom IRENE GRAMAS organizes exciting tours through Grant’s Tomb. Modeling for a dabbler in surrealistic art JEAN BRIDGE, for culture, does her part. No one will believe me what I name JANET BROWN As the efficient head of New York’s Lost and Found. Lo ! is this Esquire down Fifth Avenue amblin’ No, it is the fastidious New Yorker, ROSS HAMLIN; Following ROSS, union poster waving o’er the crowd Is radical “Anti-Everything,” KEN DOWD.

I know that this is Class Day And that 1 must take part, But 1 wore my swimming outfit To get a good head start.

JACQUELYN EBERT Essayist Salutatory AMERICA ' S HERITAGE EuctKxe E. Woodward Parents, friends, honored guests, members of the faculty : It is with particular pleasure that we, the Class of l!Hd, welcome you to this last gather- ing of our class tins evening. As the final hours of our high school careers slip away, we recall with gratitude the patient aid you have given us in sur- mounting those obstacles which inevitably befall ns in our quest for knowledge. It is therefore quite fitting that you should be here to share these few minutes of triumph with us. Today, engaged as we are in the most terrible war the world has ever seen, to preserve our freedom from tyranny and restore the liberty of our less fortunate neighbors, wo sometimes wonder whether we have, in recent years, forgotten the meaning of freedom and liberty, whether we have considered democracy as a right inherent in us as citizens of America and not as a privilege that every generation must jealously safeguard lest the forces that opposed the establishment of self-government should insidiously undermine and destroy it. When we recall the dissension that, before Pearl Harbor, split the unity of our country in factional disputes between isolationists and internationalists, when we recall the complacency with which we tolerated the enslavment of Europe by the clubs and whips of Nazi and Racist cliques, and the martyrdom of China, we wonder how and when we lost the dream that made America free. Was not Hitler the inspired prophet of his time when he jeered, “The de- mocracies are decadent”? Our answer to that challenge has been swift and decisive. We have not forgotten that America struck the first blow to break the shackles of despotism; we rejoice that standing reassuringly behind America today are the ghosts of those great men who fought for, won, and firmly established the freedoms we hold ' o dear today. To appreciate more fully this great American heritage, to convince ourselves that every generation must make its contribution to human freedom, which otherwise must perish, let us recall the history of the hard-won victories that made the name America synonymous with freedom. Towards the end of the sixteenth century, Europe was swept by a great political and religious wave. For the first time the voice of tin people was clamoring to be heard. Oppressed by the restrictions that were the order of that day, pioneers, imbued with the now feeling of liberty, gave up their estab- lished homes, crossed three thousand miles of ocean, and built new homes in a wilderness that they might work and pray as they wished. It was this calibre of people who planted the seed ot democracy in the fertile soil of America. 122 Accustomed as they were to the right of self-expression in government, it was only natural that they should resist to the utmost any attempt to destroy it. Hence, in 1775, we found ourselves engaged in war with our mother country, England. The American Revolution was a long and hard struggle. The name “Valley Forge” will long be remembered as a synonym for suffering and discouragement. When the Revolutionary War was won, the right of self-government was established as a plank in the platform of the American conception of freedom. Those who thought that with the conclusion of this initial struggle, America would be a haven of peace forever, were doomed to disappoint- ment. In 1861, a storm that had been gathering for fifty years broke with sudden fury on a divided America, wtih one American pitted against another, friend against friend, brother against brother. Once more the issue was free- dom — the emancipation of a subject race. In the dark days before Gettys- burg, the American people were called upon to support their soldiers in the Held. After four years of the most deadly warfare the world has ever seen — warfare that left whole stretches of our great country in ruins — the forces of the United States emerged the victor. The Spirit of ’76 burned still more brightly in the hearts of the American people, for to the American ideal was added the greater sacrifice, that white men were willing to shed their blood that black men might be free. In the years between the Civil War and the first World War, Americans, busy with industrial and territorial expansion and engrossed in the struggles of politics and labor, tended to forget their liard-won liberties. Instructions on living and voting were dictated by powerful leaders. Patriotic speeches continued to expound the value of democracy, but few of us really understood its full meaning. As the first World War swept over Europe, however, the long-slumbering spirit of freedom awakened within us. We found ourselves engaged, we were convinced, in a conflict to make the world safe for democracy. With the people over here supporting the boys over there, we won that war on the bloody battlefields of France, only to lose the peace around the post-war conference tables. Although we did not realize that merely winning the war was not enough, we proved to the world that the people of America were willing to make the supreme sacrifice in order that their neighbors throughout the world might enjoy the blessings of liberty. Thinking we had shown Europe the way, we turned our attention once more to our own neglected enterprises. Virtual abandonment of the Ver- sailles Treaty, coupled with the spirit of appeasement which pervaded the post-war world, paved the way for the rise of the totalitarian powers who plunged the world into the second World War. Today we are faced with a long, hard conflict. Our forces, spread over all the world, are fighting desperate battles. We must call to life once mor e 123 the dormant Spirit of ’7ti and support our fighting men with whatever sac- rifiees with whieh we may be faced. Drawing inspiration from those brave men who fought for our liberty before us, we must rise above the defeatism and chaos of the present and fight for the re-establishment of the worth of the individual and for the restoration of good faith, justice, and morality in the intercourse of the nations of the world with one another. The great heritage every American is proud to call his own will furnish us the method and the means of defeating once and for all the advocates of aggression, who are spreading their poisonous policies of hate and greed over the world today. 124 Essay - America’s Challenge M. Jacquelyn Ebert Remember Pearl Harbor. In today’s war of many nations, that is our battle cry. But that is not our creed. For what ideals are our fighting men sacrificing their lives? Many people have asked that question, but few fully understand the answer. The best description of our aims and desires is set forth in one of the most remarkable documents in all history, the Four Free- doms. In them we find in simple terms the fundamental beliefs that form the backbone of our Democracy. Although these freedoms are separate, they are not independent. Each one relies upon all the others. Each one is just as important as all the others. And without each one individually, man cannot enjoy all the others. The man who lives under a tyrant’s rule and is denied freedom of speech is con- sequently tortured by fear. The one who is in great want is also in great fear — the fear of even greater want. And the person denied freedom of worship is robbed of his right of free speech and expression; for religion is the expression of his soul and ideals. Thus, each freedom, united with all the others, forms the whole, which is Liberty for all. Taken individually, each freedom represents a long established belief. Freedom of speech, which also includes freedom of the press, is the first factor in our American Creed. History tells of the sacrifices of our fore- fathers in securing and preserving the right of the citizen to express his opinions, not without fear of contradiction, but without fear of punishment. The Bill of Rights prohibited Congress from making any law which might “abridge the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of their grievances.” In every walk of life, we see this privilege being exercised. The pompous lecturer at the ladies’ club, the prisoner in the court room, the newspaper reporter complaining of civic abuses, the actor, the minister, the soap box orator equipped with flag and pamphlets, all represent the American citizen reveling in the glory that is free speech. They provide the heart that keeps a great nation alive. And in each individual heart lies a spirit which necessitates securing the second of the Four Freedoms, freedom of religion. The persecution of religious groups by the Axis powers points out vividly the importance of allowing man to worship as he sees fit. In this nation alone there are hun- dreds of forms of worship; and although they may differ greatly in practice, each has the same basic creed — the love of ' life and a firm desire to live in peace and union with fellow men. Living in peace and union, however, creates a need for security and freedom from want. For many centuries, men have worked steadily to 125 achieve success in satisfying liunmn needs. And as science advances, new discoveries take us one step further toward that goal. Since fear of poverty and depression impedes man’s progress, we cannot have complete freedom until united efforts relieve man of his heaviest burdens and permit him to head his efforts toward becoming a better citizen. In this field much work has been done, and much more will be done to give each man equal rights in sharing the benfits of living in the land of the free. That is one of the principles for which we are fighting-. The last inherent right of man set forth in the Four Freedoms is that of freedom from tear. It is more intangible than our other privileges, but equally important. It is not merely a formula or a set of words. It is a look in the eves and a feeling in the heart, and a difficult thing to obtain. From the time of the cave men, down through the ages, fear has walked at man’s heels, lie fears most that which he cannot understand. Diseases and perse- cutions and uncertainty as to what the future has in store, all contribute to human fear. But years of discovery have brought reassurance, and slowly man is winning his battle. Education has taught him valuable lessons and reduced doubt in his mind. Great leaders of the United Nations are working hand in hand to protect, man, to reassure him, to guarantee him a universal peace and contentment, and freedom from all fear. finis, through all these factors, our American Creed is made known. Our past action is reviewed, our present aims described, and our future work cut out. In this war we tight to gain worldwide respect for the rights of man. We seek to prove that Democracy is a possible, practical, and profitable type ot government. And we strive to secure for man all the blessings of liberty, and freedom for all. In doing this, America grants privileges that her enemies dare not grant. For America has faith in her citizens, and what is more important, the citizens have faith in America. 126 Valedictory AMERICA’S DESTINY Robert C. Miller Today many patriotic Americans are looking ahead and wondering what the future holds for this country. The universal opinion is that we must win tlie peace as well as the war; and, to do so, we should start planning now. The multitude of proposals which have been put forth show only too clearly our present confusion and the need for a common goal. The most disastrous possibility against which we must guard is a return to isolationism. There are still those among us who have not yet learned the lesson which is being taught at such a terrible price. e, as a nation, are citizens of the world, and the idea of geographic protection is as out-moded as the horse and buggy. So let us face realities; our withdrawal after the last war contributed greatly to this one. To repeat our mistake would brand us as a people too short-sighted to profit by experience and unfit to g-uide the destinies of other nations. The watchword of tomorrow’s world must be co-operation; the far-reach- ing changes which will be made cannot be carried out by any one country. A better world w ill be a reality only when all the nations unite to make it so. The dominating force will probably be a coalition of the four great powers: China, Russia, Great Britain, and the United States. They will need the assistance of all the other states, however, and the most logical basis for an international organization would seem to be the United Nations. A cynic once said that peace is just a period of cheating between wars; it will be our duty and our privilege to disprove his theory. It will require patience and far-sightedness for nations with diversified interests and ideas to work in harmony. But, if they can all come to an agreement, as England and Russia have, and then live up to their promises, there is hope for lasting peace. The larger nations, through their co-operation, should be able to improve the lot of their smaller neighbors. In the chaos which will arise after this conflict, those conquered peoples will rise up and seek again their place among the nations. They will want our help and guidance, but they do not now have a complete faith in our country. We deserted them once before; they need assurance that we will not do so again. And yet they will not be convinced by long-winded speeches. Our actions alone will prove our good intentions, and this we must do, for there cannot be co-operation where there is suspicion or distrust. These little countries who have resisted invasion so heroically have not 127 died their blood that other nations might plan their future. We may lead them, we may guide them, hut the final decision rests with them; this guar- antee i ' set forth in the Atlantic Charter. Certainly we are going to try to demonstrate that our democratic way of life is the best. However, we cannot set a true example it we hold dominion over foreign lands; therefore, even as we had taken steps to liberate the Philippines, prior to the war, we should consider the freedom of Porto Rico and the other peoples of the West Indies for whom we have assumed responsibility. The British, Dutch, and French would do well to consider a similar program. As the richest nation in the world we shall have the greatest opportunity to relieve those who have suffered. We must send them food, medicine, and implements to restore their land and their standard of living. And even to the countries which we will have subdued by then, we should extend a helping ' hand and show them that our way is best; the youth of these countries can be educated for peace, just as they were formerly educated for war. There are no longer many challenges to the American pioneer spirit in this country, but the opportunities abroad are unlimited. The people of the world are on the march, and they want to learn about the marvels of modern life which we take for granted. It we use our weapon of education well, they will develop into wise and peace-loving peoples. Consider, for example, Teheran, the capital of Iran, where the people drink, wash, and cook in the water which runs in the gutters. They could learn how to combat disease by screening theii houses and purifying their water so that they would not drop like flies when the dreaded malaria strikes. Let us send them our scientists, our doctors, and our engineers; it would be a small price to pay for their support in the crusade for a lasting peace. Therefore, our thinking must be world-wide in the future, and we must do a great deal of thinking, for the opinion of the American public will decide which course our leaders will follow after the war. Our soldiers will return with a broadened viewpoint because they have been to the far corners ot the earth and have seen the barriers of race and creed start to crumble. We must preserve the unity which we have found in aggression. Our deam cannot be fulfilled for many years to come, but it is worthy of our (‘very effort. If our United States could progress from a lawless young nation to a well-regulated democracy, then there is hope that the commonwealth of nations may make a similar advance. We have won liberty for ourselves through earnest endeavor. Now, with their co-operation, let Us aid others to attain this freedom. To help our fellow man to a better way of life: America could seek no greater destiny. ★ ♦ ♦ ♦ Classmates : Our years at Melrose High have drawn to an end; our preparation for m whatever lies ahead is now complete. Our future success depends largely upon the application of the knowledge and skills that we have acquired here. Let us use them wisely and well; let us plan more unselfishly and build more carefully than those who have gone before. For as our class goes forth, rile greatest of opportunities is presented once more, the chance to take some small part in the rebuilding of the world. We regret that the opportunity is accompanied by such suffering and misfortune, and we can only strive that such a catastrophe may never reoccur. Our future efforts are not confined to this country or this continent. The world will have need of every individual who has a contribution to make. We are in a better position than the generation of twenty-five years ago. We are better informed ; we recognize the difficulties in the long, hard road ahead. Let us do our best to make the road an easier one for those who will follow us. And now has come the hour when we must part, bound only by the memories of pleasures found and friendships made. May you all win success and. in winning it, find happiness. Set your standards high, for a poor man is not a man without money, but a man without a dream. Good luck and farewell.
