Theo Fogg Treasurer : Elaine Maclachlan The ? 48-’49 season of the Student Council brought school problems to the fore in student discussions and debates. The Council attemp- ted a change in the Club system, and approved both the Girls’ Athletic Association and the Modern Dance Club. Senior delegates Nes- tore D’Angelo, Theo Fogg, Don Page, and Frances Germonprez attended the Eastern Massachusetts State Student Council Confer- ence. In addition to sponsoring a popular “Ska- ters’ Ball’’, the Council conducted all the class elections, and counted the ballots. Through student participation in the de- bates and discussions of the Student Couricil Melrose High School achieved true student government. [ Bo] The Honor Society has certai nly fulfilled its resolution of last year to make this year a busy, entertaining, and educational one for the members. In October a few new members were in- ducted during the traditional ceremony of the gold M. Mr. Wilder was the guest speaker for the occasion, which was followed by a delight- ful tea. Later on that month an election of of- ficers was held with the following results : President-. Hugh Snow Vice President: Joan Crowley Secretary : Elaine Hammerstrom Treasurer : Janet Rourke The Honor Society took several very en- joyable trips during the year. Laurence Olivi- er’s screen production of “Hamlet” was im- mensely enjoyed by all of the members. The group also found the famous glass flowers in the Agassiz Museum at Harvard very beauti- ful and amazing in their exactness of detail. Honor Society A picnic was the big event of the spring, and was a great success. All field trips were plan- ned and organized through the efforts of the club sponsors, Miss Kershaw and Miss Ring. A second election of officers was held in January. Those elected were: President: Calvin Collins Vice President: Martha Macquarrie Secretary: Joan Crowley Treasurer: Anne Drummey In February the final induction took place in the form of an assembly. A group of twen- ty-two juniors and seniors were pledged into the society. The guest speaker, Mr. William Alexander gave a very interesting and inspir- ing talk which provided the members of the club with new plans and hopes for next year’s Honor Society. [ at 1 Senior Speakers Bureau President : Charles Pulsford Vice President : Nancy Mickler Secretary. Janice Ehrenbourg Treasurer: Marilyn DeLouis During the year 1948-1949 the Senior Speakers’ Bureau has again been supervised by Mr. Stanewick. At the meetings, which were held each Monday, the members themselves often took part. Their short talks were crit- icized by their fellow students in order to re- veal methods of improvement. At the time of the vocational conferences, each member was appointed to introduce a speaker. Besides presenting a most interesting assembly of their own, they have done a grand job of introducing the speakers of all the other assemblies. [82] Editor-in-chief-. Earl Sigsbury News Editor-. Joan Way Feature Editor. Joan Waltermire Business Manager: James Rourke Circulation Manager: Wallace Hayward Because of its greater circulation, the Im- print has this year reached more students than ever before. A new policy was initiated by the news staff in that they printed previews in ad- dition to the regular news write-ups. Classes were conducted several times a week by Miss Stahl to acquaint the sophomore reporters with the fundamental mechanics of newspaper writing. In March one of the most successful dances of the year was put on by the staff. The entire staff worked for an improved paper and hopes to receive a higher rating in this year’s Globe contest. Imprint [ 83 ] Masque and Wig Society President : Richard Lindstrom Vice President : Constance Taylor Secretary. Betsy Ann Griffeth Treasurer : Nancy Mickler Masque and Wig Society staged another sparkling performance on the M. H. S. stage in its production of “The Admirable Crich- ton.” Directed by Mr. Jackson and sponsored by Miss Patton, the play held its enthusiastic audience alternately in smiles and tears as Dav- id Tarr, Anne Drummey, Charles Lake, Don- ald Pearse, Nancy Grant, Constance Taylor, Carol Huntress, Anne Jeffrey, Richard Lind- strom, and David Letteney enacted James M. Barrie’s English satire. Through the meetings, the entire club en- joyed an entertaining, educational, and success- ful year. [ 84 ] This year’s Junior Red Cross Club, com- posed of one representative from each home room, plus an alternate, held its meetings on the first Tuesday of each month. Under the able direction of Miss Lutz, the group has had a busy and successful year. During the annual membership drive near- ly ioo per cent membership was attained, and a final sum of $93.00 was raised. Pins and membership cards were given out, and Red Cross Journals distributed to the home rooms. Among other activities, this very worth- while club made cross-word puzzle scrapbooks for Cushing General Hospital in Framingham, stuffed animals for blind children, and squares for an afghan for some needy family. Although the Junior Red Cross Club does not work as openly as some of the other clubs, it must be noted that the members certainly do a lot of the work for which the national organ- ization is known. Junior Red Cross President : Betty Driscoll Vice President : Peggy Plummer Secretary. Joy Webber Treasurer : Joan Slawson [85] Boys ' Rifle Club President-. Bradford Smith Vice President : Oscar Abel Secretary. David Letteney Treasurer : Raymond Blair Range Officer: Richard Sommerfelt Carrying on under the able direction of Mr. Mansur, the rifle club has added another very successful year to its annals. Working under an established schedule, the club success- fully conducted the regular shootings. There are many memorable events which the members of the ’48-49 Rifle Club may look back upon. In the New England and National Junior Championships, held at Lowell, the club made an excellent showing as well as in the National Postal matches. Again this year, the American Legion donated two medals for which a competition was held within the club, the winners being Brad Smith and Oscar Ab- el. Another feature of the year was the organ- ization of several of the clubs of surrounding communities into a league which has been very successful and appears to have a great future ahead of it. The members have also displayed their tal- ents in the R. S. Warren Memorial Tourna- ment, the Club Member Championships of the N. R. A., and a tournament sponsored by Scholastic Coach. Missing from the sharp-shooter’s ranks next year will be Brad Smith, Oscar Abel, Dave Letteney, Dick Fleming, Ray Blair, Andrew Rasmussen, John Peterson and Paul Robbins. [ 86 ] President : Theo Fogg Vice President: Mildred Richardson Secretary : Marilyn MacKnight Treasurer: Susan Evans Under the commendable leadership of Mr. Mansur, the Girls’ Rifle Club has enjoyed a very interesting and successful year. Credit al- so goes to the various mothers and teachers who have been present in case of accidents each time the girls shot. Since there was such a large group of se- nior girls who wanted to join the club, it was decided that two smaller ones should be form- ed within the main organization. Both of these shot once a week ; one on Thursday after- noons, the other on Saturday mornings. Each month the members competed with clubs from all over the country in the National Postal Match. In addition, they had several matches with clubs from neighboring cities. Girls ' Rifle Club A high school letter was awarded to each member who received at least four points. To receive these points, it was necessary to be one of the top five in four matches. Also, the bras- sard was given to anyone who shot a “possible”, which is a perfect score of ioo points. Through perseverance and competition, the Girls ' Rifle Club members have developed skill and good sportsmanship. [ 87] Band The Melrose High School band, under the excellent leadership of Mr. Withington, is in- creasing in number and in fame each year. It certainly did a grand job playing at the foot- ball games this past fall. Its participation add- ed greatly to the spirit and color of the occasion, stimulating both football players and spectators. Mention should also be made of the snappy drum majorettes, who went through their rou- tine admirably. It was very evident to those in the bleach- ers at the games that the band made a special effort to inaugurate various new field formations between the halves. One of the most outstanding of these was the turkey form- ed at the Thanksgiving Day game. As is its custom, the group participated in the Armistice Day and Memorial Day parades. The members played on Music night, and also at the Northeastern Mass. State Music Festival, where they made a fine showing. [ 88 ] Under the direction of Mr. Withington, the orchestra has enjoyed another successful year. Their accompaniment at the “Gondoli- ers” made the production a finished one. May 5 the orchestra played at the annual Music Night. The following selections were played: Russian Choral and Overture Sinjonietta Turkish March Desert Song Emperor Waltz The next day some of these pieces were re- peated at the Music Festival in Newburyport; and the orchestra received excellent comments for their performance. As a fitting close to its year, the orchestra aided in making graduation an important event. Orchestra [ 89 ] Aremac Club President : Albert Margeson Secretary. Lois Chapman Treasurer : Joan Turner Adviser-. Miss Heald A truly enjoyable season was experienced by this year’s Aremac Club. Under the direc- tion of their supervisor, Miss Heald, the club made remarkable strides in the instruction of its members in the uses of various types of pho- tographic equipment. Several workshop meetings were held, field trips were taken, talks and demonstrations were given by club members and guest speak- ers, and the school dark room was equipped for use. Throughout the year all the members found the work both interesting and profit- able. [90] The Melrose High cheering squad flavor- ed the ’48-’49 sports season with pep and en- thusiasm, win or lose. School spirit this year was excellent and achieved the near-elimina- tion of “boo-ing”. “Mac” McPheters coached the frisky fif- teen through practice hours resulting in the synchronized and snappy cheering seen at four home and four out-of-town football games, and most of the basketball games. Captained by Joan Knight, the squad con- sisted of June Boreland, Ruth Butt, Grace Charles, Shirley Crocker, Nancy George, Elaine Hammerstrom, Carol Huntress, Joy Webber, Joan Woodward, Anne Drummey, Pat Jack, Carole Nordstrom, Connie Taylor, and Ruth Webb. Cheerleaders [ 91 1 Current Events Club President : Richard Burr Vice President : Stuart Robinson Secretary. Raymond Thorndike Treasurer : John Murray Under the capable guidance of its new ad- visor, Mr. Hildreth, the Current Events Club has completed its second successful year. It has held its interesting meetings during the “S” period on the second and fourth Wednes- days of each month. Throughout the year the various members have served on the commit- tee whose responsibility it was to gather infor- mation on a certain event of current interest. After the report of these facts, all the members would thoroughly discuss the issue. In this way, they have all received a useful knowledge ancl understanding of both national and inter- national current events. [ 92 ] President : Nestore D’Angelo Vice President-. Laurence Eldredge Secretary : David Todd Treasurer: Paul Robbins Corresponding Secretary: Robert DiPersio In this year of 1948 and 1949 the Hi-Y group enjoyed a successful season of meetings. There were many interesting discussion peri- ods involving such subjects as the “Future of Television”, “What Is Happening to the Amer- ican Sport Fan?”, and “What Can We, as a Club, Do to Reduce the Problem of Juvenile Delinquency?” Many interesting speakers, such as Mr. A. Imrie Dixon, Rev. Wallace For- gey, and Mr. Hugh Gillespie also served to make the meetings successful. This year, as in former years, the Hi-Y and Girls’ Club combined their efforts to produce Hi-Y Thanksgiving baskets for needy families. This venture was highly successful and greatly ap- preciated by the recipients. The Hi-Y of 1948 and 1949 has left a high standard for next year’s club to measure up to. [93] Girls ' Club President : Theo Fogg Vice President: Martha Seaver Secretary : Frances Germonprez Treasurer: Jeanne Travalini Corresponding Secretary: Shirley Jepson The past year of Girls’ Club has been un- usually entertaining and instructive. Attend- ance was large because of the fine variety of programs arranged by Carol Huntress and her committee. From the opening meeting last fall to the closing meeting this spring, the girls enjoyed hearing many fine speakers, taking part in contests, and participating in home talent programs. As a result of several food auctions, the Girls ' Club was able to contribute a large amount to the Service Fund treasury. Again this year the girls were fortunate to be able to work with Mr. McPheters, who was the Girls’ Club sponsor. Theo Fogg certainly proved herself an able president, and is to be congratulated for her excellent leadership. The girls of the senior class all agree it has been a privilege to belong to the Girls’ Club. [94] Chief Cartoonist : Donald Streck Recorder-. Grace Anderson Editor-. Eleanor Amazeen The Cartoon Club, now in its fourth year under the leadership of Mr. McPheters, has taken its place as one of the well established organizations of the school life. The members gather once a week in room 307 and rack their brains for new and different cartoon ideas. Some of the results, selected by the Bulletin Board Committee, may be seen enlightening the already bright atmosphere of 307, while others appear in “Chuckles”, the cartoon paper published by the Club. As it continues to grow and mature, this club and its talented members will constantly add new smiles at M. H. S. Cartoon Club [95] Glee Club President-. William Russo Secretary-Treasurer-. Joan Waltermire Librarians-. John Day, Wallace Reid The M. H. S. Glee Club is one of the most active clubs in the school. This year has been an exceptionally busy and prosperous one for the club, which meets once a week on Tues- days. Its first public appearance this year was made at the Thanksgiving assembly. After this was the annual Christmas Vesper Service, inaugurated last year. Just before Christmas vacation, the group sang at the Melrose .Rotary Club, and volunteers sang at a women’s meet- ing held at the Baptist Church. For the main program of the year the Glee Club presented Gilbert and Sullivan’s operet- ta, “The Gondoliers.” The production was a great success, and a pleasure to all who attend- ed. Also, during the spring, the group sang with the Melrose Orchestral on March 6, and participated in the Northeast Mass. State Mu- sic Festival. Much credit should be, and is given, to Mr. Withington, whose unceasing effort and patience as director have made the success of the Glee Club possible. [ 96] P resident-. Edward Norris, Jr. Vice President : Carolyn Burditt Secretary. Joy Webber Treasurer : Betty O’Connor The Art Club under the very competent and able guidance of Mrs. Foster, has spent a very educational and interesting year working in the field of art. The Club consists of twenty-seven mem- bers, half of whom are not this year enrolled in art classes. This fact is a very strong indi- cation of the popularity of the organization and the enthusiasm of its members. These twenty- seven students met after school the first and third Thursdays of each month for from one to two hours of fascinating work. The aforementioned “work” consisted of stained glass craft, which included the making of stained glass medallions; portrait drawing Art Club in Charcoal or Conte crayon from student mo- dels; and clay modelling. One field trip to an art gallery, and one guest speaker were also included in the busy program of an enjoyable and extremely inter- esting club. [ 97l French Club President-. Donald Waitt Vice President : Joan Crowley Secretary. Rotating Office Sponsored by Miss Miche, the French Club met the first and third Fridays of each month. From the time they entered 312 until the time they left, the members spoke only in French. During the course of the year the members lis- tened to French records, played games, and gave several French dramas. The highlights of the year were a Christmas party and a fare- well party, which included games and re- freshments. As the last meeting of the “Circle Francais” closed, it was agreed that the club had produced a liking for the language and increased the ease with which French is spok- en. [ 98 ] President: John Peterson Vice Presidents: Charles Lake and Bradford Smith Secretary-Treasurer: Nancy Wells Program Chairman: Richard Lindstrom Because so many other activities were tak- ing place during the Home Room and “S” periods, Miss Brown was unable to organize the German Club until March. However, the members tried to make up for lost time by holding meetings on the first and third Thurs- days at 2:30 and the second and fourth Thurs- day S period. During these meetings they sang songs and played games, always singing or speaking in German. The main event of the season was a “Kaffeeklatch”, a special type of German party. The members of the German Club have learned that the German language can provide fun and entertainment in addition to difficult lessons. German Club [ 99 1 Russian Club 1948 - 1949 A small group of pupils under the guid- ance of Mr. Nash has met two “S” periods a month during the year to learn a little about the intricate Russian language. After some practice learning to decipher the Russian al- phabet and pronounce the letters, the group went on to learn a few useful expressions, some of the most common words used in every- day conversation, and a little of the way in which a Russian sentence is put together. As time allowed, there was practice in simple conversation based on the words and phrases learned. No officers were elected, as the group was conducted really as an extra class for those interested in knowing at least a bit about the wonders of the Russian tongue. [ 100 ] President-. Susan Stanton Vice President: Carole Nordstrom Secretary-Treasurer: Joyce Luckett Freshman Representative : Gail Chew Pianist : Joyce Adler The ’49 Log welcomes the Modern Dance Club to its pages for the first time. Organized last year, and recognized this year, the club is supported by the girls of the school interested in the expression in composition by stylized movement of creative feeling. Directed by Mrs. Hopkins, and accompanied by Joyce Ad- ler, the dancers have entertained at the Teach- ers’ Club banquet, at Sargent College Alum- nae banquet, the Senior-Faculty Tea, and the Parent-Teachers’ Association Tea, with the grace, originality, and agility characterized by modern dance.

The record which shows two wins, five losses, and a tie, is no real indication of the actual strength of the team, for everyone, in- cluding the opposition, admitted that our play- ers were plagued with bad luck and injuries all season long. Despite such handicaps, how- ever, they gave a laudable showing of them- selves in every contest. An innovation this year was the Junior Varsity squad which ought to provide many seasoned players in future years. The class of ’49’s representatives on the team were Capt. Don Paterson, Don Norris, Art Wells, Bob Young, Dave Tarr, Paul Rob- bins, Dick Lindstrom, Chuck Pulsford, Win- nie Rice, John Stiles, Jack Clark, Bill Russo, and Bruce Willis. [ 104 ] Captain-. “Chuck” Pulsford Coach-. “Doc” Clark Manager: Paul Robbins Breaking the Lexington jinx twice and re- bounding from a three game slump, the Mel- rose “Hoopsters” went on to capture second place in the Middlesex Basketball League, com- pleting the finest record Melrose has seen in it’s basketball history, with ten wins against four losses. Such standout players as Don “Snow White” Page, Joe Giovino and Jim Crawford, at forwards, and “Chuck” Pulsford, Dick Skelley at guards, supported by Art Wells, Rog Harris, Dick Jones, and John Davis, made this feat possible ; along with the superb coach- ing of “Doc” Clark and Mr. Hoyle. Melrose once again took top honors with Jim Crawford as the leading scorer of the lea- Pays’ Basketball gue compiling 197 points, an average of 14 points per game. He and “Chuck” Pulsford were elected to the first and second teams re- spectively, of the M. B. L. All Stars. The whole secret of their success was the harmonious manner in which they worked to- gether throughout the complete year. A team without discord is surely a winner. [ 105 ] Mockey Captain-. Dick Bean Manager : Otis Carney Coach-. Mr. Hughes This past season Melrose had one of the most outstanding hockey teams in many years. The team finished in second place, only one- half game behind first-place Arlington, with a record of eight wins and two losses. Particul- arly fine was the fact that the boys were the only team in the G. B. I. League to beat Arling- ton. John Stiles played against Montreal in the first team All-Star Game. Frannie Conn- elly, Tommy Ray, and Dick Baker played for the second team. Coach Hughes has an excellent nucleus to work with next year with only Ronnie Place, John Stiles, Dick Bean, Bruce Willis, and Fran- nie Connelly members of the senior class. We can look for continued success in Melrose hoc- key. [ 106 ] Captain : Nestore D’Angelo Manager: Grant Gray Coach : Mr. Gavin This year the Melrose High School Base- ball Team had a schedue of 14 games with Stoneham, Reading, Belmont, Lexington, Con- cord, Winchester, and Wakefield. The squad was fortified by the return of two veteran pitchers, Dave Rattray and Don Paterson. Bob Cox, “Herky” Kennific, and Stan Bert rounded out the pitching staff. The team was well supplied with seniors, for Bill Martin, John Stiles, Jack Clark, George Keel- er, Jack Leahy, and Nestore D’Angelo appear- ed in almost every game. Baseball [ 107 ] Zrack Co-captains : Ken Ames and Larry Eldredge Coach : Mr. Foster Flint Mr. Flint’s track team shaped up nicely this year. Ken Ames, always a good compet- itor, showed a smooth, powerful style running his half mile event, and was considered a strong contender in every race he ran. Dick Rose also showed his heels to the op- position in the fast quarter miles which he con- sistently ran. In the field events Arthur Wells, Paul Robbins and Dick Lindstrom were on the shot put; Stan Barwise was a top-notch high jumper and showed great promise for the fu- ture. In the dashes, Larry Eldredge and Aub- rey Bouton were standout performers. On the whole, M. H. S. had a worthy team. [ 108 ] Captain : Ken Ames Coach-. “Doc” Clark The Cross Country team finished near the top in this year’s league standing. M. H. S. has consistently turned out good Cross Country teams for a number of years ; and although this is not one of the major sports, the harriers de- serve all the praise they received. Although the boys did not win either the State or New England Meets, they came out very close to the top, gaining second place in the State Meets, and sixth in the New Eng- land. As usual the harriers did very well in their dual meets winning six out of eight races. Cross Country [ 109 ] Ljdf Zeam The 49 Golf Team sponsored by Mr. Wil- son teed off to a good year. As a resulfof the matches so far this year, the team is expected at least to equal last year’s accomplishment of winning the Northern Division Championship of the Middlesex League and wresting the Mid- dlesex championship from division winners, Newton and Arlington. And how can the team fail to accomplish this feat with such ex- perts as Bob Stiles, Russ Carey, Ray Thorn- dike, Bob Ells, Dick Jones, Charlie Gross, and John Murray? [ no ] The ’49 Tennis Team served up a year of good standing in the Suburban League. Sponsored by Mr. Poole, and starring se- niors Bob Jepson, John Murray, Winnie Rice, Don Page, and Joe Giovino, the M. H. S. team is expected to do at least as well as last year when they gained second place in the nine team league. The underclassmen practiced both singles and doubles and promise racket results for the ’49-’50 Tennis Team. Keys’ cam is [ in ] Tield Mockey Captain-. Barbara Bushee Manager-. Joan Crowley Coach-. Miss Holman A great many girls went out for field hoc- key this fall, as is the case every year. There- fore, as always, it was extremely hard for Miss Holman to pick one squad from so many promising players. Practice sessions were held nearly every afternoon, and intramural games were played in an attempt to enable the coach to see which girls were best qualified for the varsity squad. At length, thirty-one fortunate girls were chosen to represent Melrose High in field hockey. The thirty-one consisted of thirteen seniors, eleven juniors, three sopho- mores, and four freshmen. The opposing teams this year were Mal- den, Arlington, Concord, Lexington, Newton, Winchester, and Stoneham. A second team game was played with each city besides the regular first team game. As for results, the first team did not emerge as victor more than once. Together with the one victory, there were five losses and one tie. The second team fared somewhat better, winning two games, with four ties, and but one loss. However, good sportsmanship, grand effort, and excellent coaching were observed throughout the year, together with wonderful experience for the underclassmen, facts which seem to promise another fine team next season. [ 112 ] Captam: Grace Charles Manager : Jane Woodland Coach-. Miss Holman This year’s Girls’ Basketball squad was selected by Miss Holman from those partici- pating in intramural games which took place in early winter before the regular basketball season began. All those “going out” for such games were awarded ten points towards their M. H. S. letter. Thirty girls were chosen for the entire squad. Comprising the thirty were twelve girls on the first team, eleven on the second team, and seven on the third team. The seniors who made the first team were Shirley Crocker Carol Ward, Jeanne Travalini, Fran- ces Germonprez, Joanne Webber, Marilyn Jep- son, Muriel Troy, and Grace Charles. As for actual games played, the opposing teams this year were Reading, Woburn, Mai- (jirls ’ basketball den, Concord, Winchester, Winthrop, Arling- ton, and Newton. A fairly successful season was experienced, and those games that were lost were lost by very few points, an example of the fine ability and good sportsmanship of our girls. High scorers of the season were Muriel Troy, Peggy Travalini, and Joanne Webber. Although many excellent senior players are leaving this year, there are left many fine underclassmen who all go towards making another enthusiastic and prosperous team next year. [ 113 1 0 iris ’ Zennis Manager : Kathleen Mortensen Coach-. Mrs. Hopkins In September a large number of tennis en- thusiasts signed up for an interclass tourna- ment, since girls from all four classes were al- lowed to participate. The seniors who took part were Barbara Cairns, Frances Germon- prez, Janet Rourke, Mary Scofield, Joan Slaw- son, Jeanne Travalini, Joanne Webber, and Joy Webber. All of the games were played after school or on the weekends. At the conclusion of .the tournament, the varsity team was formed from those who had won the most games and who had shown out- standing ability. The three seniors who were selected were Barbara Cairns, Jeanne Travalini, and Joy Webber. All three demonstrated good tennis playing at the games against Newton and Winchester. In the spring a similar tournament was conducted by the coach, Mrs. Hopkins, and the manager, Kathleen Mortensen. Then, in the same manner as in the fall, the spring var- sity team was formed. [ 1 14 1 Manager : Mary Lou Page Coach : Miss Holman One can easily see that softball continues to rank high in popularity at M. H. S., for well over one hundred girls turned out for practice this spring. Of these, about thirty-five were seniors, many of whom were members of last year’s varsity squad. At the first meeting, each class was divided into three teams, and later these played against each other. The winning senior team played the winning freshman team and the winning junior team played the win- ning sophomore team. Finally the winners of these two competed in one last game. The grand winners of this tournament thus won fifteen points for their class. Also, everyone who participated regularly in the after-school games earned ten points toward a letter. After observing the players at practice and in class games, Miss Holman and Miss Smith, a student teacher from Sargent College, selec- Qirls ’ Softball ted the members of the varsity team. The var- sity schedule included games against Arling- ton, Belmont, Concord, Malden, Lexington, an Winchester. Enthusiasm and outstanding ability helped to make the softball season a successful one. [ 115 1 CAROL HUNTRESS Prophecy WILLIAM RUSSO Presentations Class Day Parts JAMES ROURKE Statistics CHARLES PULSFORD Historian Marshal ’s Address Nestore J. D’Angelo It is my pleasure to welcome you here this afternoon to our Class Day program. Our four years at Melrose High School have flown by on the swift wings of time, although at times the wings did seem to beat very slowly. However, these years hold many won- derful memories. Friendships were made that we will cher- ish and hold for a lifetime. Our associations with the teach- ers have not only been profitable, but a pleasure as well. We invite you now to share these memories and to look into the future with the class of nineteen hundred and forty- nine. [ 118 ] Mistory of the Class of 1949 by Charles G. Pulsford You who sit and gaze at us with admiration, envy, or pride, little realize the emotions of triumph and humility commingled in our hearts. We have reached our objective, and it is proper that we salute our triumph. However, we are humble because the goal which we have crossed is not an end, but a beginning of another trek across the pathless years to greater objectives in our tomorrows. It is so much easier to talk of triumph, to tell you of our long and arduous journey through our high school years, and to sing of our victories over doubt and discouragement. Let us then go back to September, 1949. We were an eager, ambitious group — 275 strong. It may have been our brains, or it may have been our brawn. Anyway, we were asked (shanghaied would be the more proper word) to join a wag- on train made up of three sections which was heading for the West. A gold strike in that far-away region was the magnet which drew these three sections and us irresistably. We were lowly servants to Sections ’46 and ’47. As for Section ’48, how can we forget them ? Great was our joy when we were granted the right of representa- tion on the Council. We chose Wallace Hayward and Donald Page to present our grievances and to plead for our rights. We were granted the privilege and luxury of play. We proved to the others that we possessed talent by entertaining them with a pair of clever one-act dramas by our hastily organized, but superbly drama- tic club, “The Cloak and Plume.” After a long, ten-month trek, we paused to rest. Section ’46 left us and returned East in disgust. Obviously we ’49-ers acquired more prestige and power when the westward trek was resumed. We received full recognition and established self-government. John Clark was elected president of our group, and he was ably assisted by Vice President Donald Page, Secretary Elaine Hammerstrom, and Treasurer Betty Driscoll. Our representatives to the Council were Theo Fogg and Olive Brereton. That second year of our journey was a memorable one and we shall always cherish the hardy men of ’47, those “Raiders” who fought the savages, and defeated every tribe that challenged us. We were honored by the recognition of one of our group, John Clark, who fought side by side with those Red Raiders of ’47. He was joiner by other members of our class, John Davis and Charles Puls- ford who aided the Melrose basketeers, and Richard Bean who helped out the hockey Red Raiders. The second stage of our Odyssey came to a halt in the summer [ 119] of ’47, when those great warriors bade us farewell. The reasons for their leaving us were obscure; however, we felt that their love of battle and adventure prompted many of them to forsake the pur- suit of gold for the glamour and glitter of uniforms of Uncle Sam’s armed forces. After a prolonged rest we took to that long, long trail again — we and the ’48 Section. Shortly after the expedition was underway, we reorganized our government. Charles Pulsford was elected pres- ident, while Louis Conforti, Betty Driscoll, and Frances Germon- prez were honored by being elected vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. New faces were added to our sports scene as many of our ranks made the varsity sq uads. Winston Rice, John Stiles, Richard Lind- strom, Charles Pulsford, Paul Robbins, Arthur Wells, and Robert Young found plenty of action on the fall gridiron; while Kenneth Ames, Charles Minott, Wallace Reid, and James Rourke ambled over the cross-country miles. Snow and wintery winds turned our sturdy athletes to hockey and basketball. Francis Connolly and John Stiles skated the icey way for the Red Warriors while our courtmen welcomed stellar center Donald Page. Grace Charles, Joanne Webber, Jeanne Tra- valini, and Murial Troy contributed their athletic prowess on the girls’ hoop-team. Spring fever plagued Nestore D’Angelo and John Stiles, a fact which made them turn to the diamond sport. Armed with softballs and bats, Grace Anderson, Shirley Crocker, Charlotte Coburn, Joan Crowley, Betty Driscoll, Helena Murry, and Jeanne Travalini wel- comed the spring sport. The golf team, which teed off to a success- ful season included: Russell Cary, Robert Ells, John Murray, and Robert Stiles. It became a necessity for us to look into the crime problem. Several of our members were usually found in Wagon 207, a caged and barred Bastille on wheels. It seemed apparent that some of us were going to reach our goal by sitting out die years in 207. Our best intentions did not help the situation, even with Theo Fogg and Donald Page on the Council. Our third year on the trail was featured by our great interest in art, culture, and the social graces. The Current Events Club was established; the French Club also made its appearance to take its place with our other great organizations; our congratulations went to: Jeanne Travalini, Joan Waltermire, John Clark, and Richard Lindstrom for being chosen to represent ’49-ers at Boys’ and Girls’ State. We became articulate to a high degree in print — Earl Sigs- bury headed a fine staff in the Imprint; and there was the Junior Prom, which highlighted our whole third year. It was looked for- ward to with great expectation, and through the careful planning of the Prom Committee, it passed with the pride of its success ling- [ 120 ] ering in our hearts. All in all, our third year sped along merrily, and in no time at all, it seemed, we encamped for our annual summer rest. And great news broke explosively to us in June, 1948; the ’48-ers had given up! They had picked up their meager belongings and had scattered to the major points and subdivisions of the compass. As the autumn leaves circled lazily about them, the ’49-ers ob- served their goal, now in plain view off in the distance. We could see that the trail was straight and narrow but steadfast. With a grin on our lips and hope in our hearts we started the last leg of our journey. Nestore D’Angelo was chosen to take up the reins with Don- ald Page as his right hand man. Frances Germonprez was elected to record the events and business of our last desperate dash; while Joan Waltermire was entrusted with the keeping of our finances. John Clark was elected to sit in on the Council fires along with Theo Fogg, to whom Council fires were an old story, this being her third consecutive year as representative. Many clubs carried on their activities as enthusiastically as be- fore. New clubs, Allied Youth and Modern Dance, were started by the socialites of our hardy band. We were happy as we filled our remaining days on the trail with work and play. David Tarr, Donald Norris, William Damon, Donald Waitt, Franklin Randlett, and William Russo joined the Red Raiders’ ranks as the ’49-ers entered their final football season. Our gratitude went to the girls in red and white who let all the snappy cheers for the sports’ clubs this past year. Their never- ending spirit and pep inspired the teams to many a win and bolster- ed their spirits in the face of defeat. Thanks millions; Captain Joan Knight, Ruth Butt, June Borland, Shirley Crocker, Nancy George, Elaine Hammerstrom, Carol Huntress, Joy Webber, and Joan Woodward. Many of our female classmates turned out for field-hockey. They included; Barbara Bushee, Janet Behrle, Shirley Crocker, Grace Charles, Betty Driscoll, Phyllis Guild, Barbara Nespor, Mari- lyn Jepson, Muriel Troy, Shirley John, Jackie White and Mary Lou White. Ronald Place and Bruce Willis joined our other ’49-ers on the high-flying hockey team as it captured second place in the G. B. I. Circuit. Basketballers ; Roger Harris, Joseph Giovino, Richard Skelley and Arthur Wells, teamed with the ’49 court veterans to slide easily into second place, higher in the league standings than any other previous year. The damsels of the court also turned in a successful season, the [ iai ] most memorable contest was with the opposite sex. As the story goes the girls dunked two points with the game only three seconds old. The boys came surging right back but trailed at half time 6 to 8. The fairer sex went into the second half looking for what was to be a great triumph only to lose a heart-breaker in the closing minutes of play 20 to 8. (Reason for loss, the last half was played under boys’ rules). Starring for the girls were; Barbara Bushee, Charlotte Coburn, Grace Charles, Frances Germonprez, Marilyn Jepson, Carol Ward, Joanne Webber, and Joy Webber. Joan Wood- ward was manager. With spring in the air once more we turned to the season sports. Baseball opened its season with many new faces along with the old. Those donning uniforms were; John Clark, George Kee- ler, William Martain, Richard Merrick, Donald Paterson and David Rattray. Tennis returned as an outstanding competitive spring sport through the efforts and teaming of Robert Jepson, Joseph Gio- vino, John Murray, Donald Page, and Winston Rice. Richard Bean, Robert Bennett, Floyd Bennett, Ramond Blair, Donald Norris, Richard Lindstrom, Frank Reid, Paul Robbins, James Rourke, and Arthur Wells shared honors as the trackmen won their first meets in three years. Donald Paterson, Kenneth Ames, Richard Bean, Lawrence El- dredge, Nestore D’Angelo, Charles Pulsford, Joan Crowley, Barba- ra Bushee, and Grace Charles brought honor and glory to us dur- ing our final year of our long journey. They “captained” the teams which gave us the joy of victory on the playing fields and arenas. They also tasted defeat, but never gave up. We salute our great athletic organizations and their fighting leaders. Our Thespians, “The Masque and Wig”, enacted James M. Barrie’s “The Admirable Crichton”, with Carol Huntress and Dav- id Tarr in the leading roles. With enchanting Old Italy as the background for their delightful romance, the Glee Club produced the “Gondoliers”, using sixteen leads and a supporting cast of 85 voices. We ’49-ers proudly honored Earl Sigsbury and his able staff, who compiled and edited the Log, the record of our four long years. We also took pride in our perennial representative on the Council, Theo Fogg, who was elected our D. A. R. representative for her dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Two important changes were inaugurated. The Girls’ Ath- letic Association was organized for the purpose of allowing greater participation in their physical education program; and the rigorous spring maneuvers which prepared the men for the annual autumn campaign on the gridiron were eliminated. Three of our ’49-ers earned our class’s highest scholastic a- [ 122 ] wards as Valedictorian went to Cynthia Cochrane, Salutatorian to Earl Sigsbury and Essayist to Richard Lindstrom. Those who received praise for the achievement of A’s and B’s throughout the four years included; Richard Burr, Russell Cary, Cynthia Cochrane, Joan Crowley, Janice Ehrenborg, Ruth Grif- fin, Beverly Herne Joanne Hersey, Robert Holmes Richard Lind- strom, Vivian Lundquist, Marguerite MacNeil, Jean McDonald, Nancy Mickler, John Peterson, Franklin Randlett, Stuart Robin- son Janet Rourke, Martha Seaver, Earl Sigsbury, Hugh Snow, Dav- id Todd, Jeanne Travalini, Joan Waltermire, Nancy Wells, Shan- ley Wilde, and Joan Woodward. Grateful indeed were our prisoners, those who had strayed from grace and were travelling in Wagon 207 the perambulating alca- traz, when a general amnesty — a full pardon — was granted to each of them along with the reward for their four trying years — our reward too, the DIPLOMA. Yes — we have just about reached our goal. We have travelled a long, wonderful trail. The long sought golden hills lie in all their splendor just over the next rise in the dusty road. And now, let us halt the long train that follows, and meditate for a short while on the things which we have brought to this trail’s end — From this point on, each one of us will blaze his own trail; therefore, as our final common gesture, we leave to all who follow, our recently acquired goal — wisdom, truth, and honor. [ 123 ] Statistics for 1949 According to that great statistician of ancient Rome, Caius Ju- lius Caesar, all Gaul was divided into three parts. I have had the gall to do the same thing; namely, to divide my essay into three parts; the best, the average, and, well, let’s cross that bridge when we come to it. Before I mention any of the best of things, I have a small request. Will all those young ladies and gentlemen who hear their names mentioned, please stand and show their smiling countenances. In school we all do a generous amount of studying, but there are two of our numbers who must have spent a great deal of time on one certain book; its name: HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE. It is evident that Theo Fogg and Nes- tore D’Angelo have completely mastered its contents for they are our most popular girl and boy. Conclusive evidence is that Nes- tore is our president, and Theo is the D. A. R. representative. When a fellow is a star on both the football and the tennis teams, besides being captain of the basketball team, he certainly de- serves the title of most athletic boy. We all know whom I’m re- ferring to: Chuck Pulsford, of course. His complement in the field of girls’ athletics is Gracie Charles. All right, Ruth Butt, I realize Chuck is handsome as well as athletic; but this is neither the time nor the place to make eyes at him. It is quite evident why Ruth is recognized by everybody as our class flirt. Now, whom are you concentrating on? Oh, Jack Clark. He’s the fellow with the red face and he needs no explana- tion as to the title he got. And do I hear giggles back there? Joan Slawson, you might have known. Can’t you be serious on such a solemn occasion as this ? Just because you are class giggler doesn’t mean that you have a license to gurgle like a brook at even the slightest provocation. Next we turn to the dubious title of least often on time. Tar- dy Winnie Rice gets the blue ribbon here. Although he is on time today, it really isn’t a habit he intends to let develop. While we are on the subject of time, the person who takes the lead in making the most of hers is Cynthia Cochrane. She is our most studious member, a title well deserved as shown by her envi- able record of all “A” averages. Also at this end of the scale we have Joy Webber, who gains recognition from her classmates as our most dignified member. The most fastidious person in the Class of ’49 is Frannie Ger- monprez. When we think of Frannie, we just naturally think of Dickie Bean. I hope Dick is not too bashful to stand up and take a bow. Our most bashful girl is also from Miss Heald’s room. [ 124 ] Pauline Ames, do you think you can stand up just for a split second so we can catch a glimpse of that bashful smile of yours. When it comes to tripping the light fantastic, the couple who can put on the best demonstration are Janet Behrle and Roger Har- ris, because they are our best dancers. There are loads of good-natured folks in our class, but the two who just seem to have been born that way are Charlotte Coburn and Sudhi. Sudhi, (the first foreign student to come to Melrose High) completely won over everyone from the first with his flash- ing smile. There is a fellow here who is always singing or playing some melody on a piano. No matter where he is, if a piano is at hand he begins to pound on it, or if this instrument is absent he just ex- ercises his vocal chords. He’s our class swing fan, Larry Eldredge. I really hope I haven’t been exaggerating too much in any of my statements, for it is hardly my place to do so. That special privilege belongs to Bruce Willis, our class exaggerator. Down the street a few houses from Larry lives another artist, but she wields a paint brush. Leah Waghorne is the class genius with brush and palette. Joan Crowley and Jean Travalini must use a goodly amount of glue, for they just stick together through thick and thin and have earned the title of class pals. School for most of us is 25 per cent bluff and 75 per cent know- ledge. Poor Bill Russo has a rough time of it and his plight is un- derstandable. He is our least successful bluffer. Perhaps, if Bill would follow the example set by Eleanor Brown as class saint — she seems to be able to do no wrong — he would be most successful. Owing to his seriousness toward school and all its many prob- lems, Earl Sigsbury has been selected as the one most likely to suc- ceed. Besides being exceptional in his scholastic ability, Earl has done a grand job as editor of both the “Imprint” and “The Log.” The Class of ’49 feels it has one particularly unique distinction in the fact that it possesses five sets of twins and one set of triplets. But that isn’t all: One of our sets of twins have been voted best looking girl and boy. It is with extreme pleasure I present to you Pauline and Kenny Ames, our best looking couple. While I am mentioning pairs I should like to tell you about some extraordinary people who were given, by their class, not one title but two. The fi rst one of these is Art Wells. He is just the op- posite of Bill Russo in that he is our most successful bluffer. He bluffs through 75 per cent of the school program and finds it tough to acquire the remaining 25 per cent. He makes up for that, though, by being “Jovial Art,” the class wit. Originality is an enviable characteristic. We have selected Car- [ 125] ol Huntress to be most original. To go along with this distinction, Carol has also captured the title of class actress. Her partner on the stage, that is, class actor, is Dick Lindstrom. Besides spending a great deal of time on school theatrical produc- tions, Dick is a letter man in football and in track. With all these activities Dick is far from a book worm, yet he has an enviable col- lection of “A’s”. We have a name for this type of person — class genius. Joan Waltermire also belongs to this honored group. She has chalked up the titles of class songster and class poet. We all are ac- quainted with her singing ability, but not so well acquainted with her poetic ability. In a few minutes we shall all hear some of her poetry, won’t we, Bill? Now we come to the second part of my essay, the average mat- erial. Mr. Class of ’49 weighs 139 pounds, is 5 feet 6 inches tall, and wears a size 8 shoe. He has weathered 17 winters and prefers blue to all other colors. Of all the sports he enters, his favorite is foot- ball. When he wants to relax he is undecided whether to go danc- ing with a brunette or a blonde; but regardless of which she turns out to be he will still chew Beechnut gum and drink coca-cola. His favorite subject is biology, a fact which I hope does not suggest that this subject is a snap. Above all he wants roses on his wedding day. I really wasn’t keeping the third part secret for any intelligent soul could reason that best is to average as average is to worst. It seems a shame that something stagnant has to be incorporated in so brisk a program. It is with little pleasure I acknowledge to you the gentleman who was presented by his fellow classmates the most in- famous and undesirable title of class ladies’ man. That unfortunate person is at present standing before you. Thanks for listening. [ 126 ] Prophecy by CAROL M. HUNTRESS Enter Carol, having slept VERY late, and still wrapped in a flowing nightgown, pointed night cap. and hair curlers. She yawns, stretches, holds out the morning paper, and says; Oh, hello there! Well, I never thought I’d sleep this late, it must be after 4:00! And I haven’t read the morning paper. The June 7, 1969 edition of the BOSTON GLUB. Let’s have a look at the headlines. “Presidential election a three way split, NESTORE D’ANGE- LO, “CHUCK” PULSFORD, and JACK CLARK each received a third of both popular and electoral college votes. But the split field opens the office to the first woman president of the United States, THEO FOGG. Appointed to Miss Fogg’s cabinet were Sec- retary of State, FR ANNIE GERMONPREZ; Secretary of War, JOAN SLAWSON; Secretary of the Interior, MARTHA SEAVER, Secretary of Labor, JOAN KNIGHT ; and Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court, JEANNE TRA VALINE Wow! That’s the first lipsticked legislature we’ve ever had! It’s a good thing Massachusetts still has governor DON PAGE to represent the males. And speaking of Massachusetts, did you see that our tax rate is going down to 1 cent on the dollar ? Thanks to tax collector PAUL CARON ! Maybe it’s partly due to the income the states have been getting from hose sky-hook parking meters for helicopters invented by GERRY LONG. Park Commissioner BOB HOLMES announced today that classes will start at the Middlesex Fells Zoo. Zoo keeper DICK OXLEY is in charge of training the animals, assisted by psycholo- gists LAURA BABCOCK. ALICE LYLE, and MARILYN GOR- TON. Latest Press flash! “Arctic explorers BILL McSWEEN, and WARREN MICKLE leave for the north pole in search of long- lost fur trappers “BOMBO” KENNEFIC and GEORGE ROB- BINS. At latest reports, the trappers’ cook was “RED” KEN- NEDY. That is all. Here’s the word from Washington. Colorado congressman GRA HAM JONES and Rhode Island representative ED CHRIS- TENSON are deadlocked over a socialized railway bill. Secre- tary of the Treasury BEVERLY HEARNE has announced the is- suing of a three dollar bill. Presidential secretary HELEN TIER- NEY is teaching Siamese to the White House staff because Siam’s new Prime Minister SUDHI LEKHANANDA is flying over for a diplomatic visit. [ 127 ] Here ' s some news, the Nobel prize winners of 1969! In the field of Medicine and Physiology, the prize goes to MARY SCO- FIELD for her discovery of a cure for leaping Mongolian Rot; in Chemistry, to RAY THORNDIKE for his chemical analysis of cafeteria food. In the field of Physics, the prize goes jointly to NANCY WELLS and DICK LINDSTROM for their discovery of the fifth dimension. The Literature prize goes to JOAN WAL- TERMIRE for her latest iambic pentemeter play, “Omlette.” In Peace, to “GUS” ROBINSON and PHIL DALRYMPLE for their School-Swamp Pact and their assistance in the elevation of public education from the bogs — especially in Melrose. Well, the ’69 stock market crash is crushed. President of Rec- a-Record Company LEWIS RESTUCCIA released swoon king LAURIE ELDREDGE’S latest recording, and all the females flocked to buy it, throwing the financial system into an awful mess! It’s a good thing pyramid club billionaire RAY BLAIR donated half a million to be put back into circulation by bank president DAVE TODD. I think the trouble with the finances is that Dave’s bank staff is too pretty ! No wonder all the guys take their money out of his bank if they can have PAULINE AMES hand them a pen, MARILYN MacKNIGHT blot their check, JANICE EH- RENBERG take it to the teller, JUNE BORLAND, and have MA- RIE STOUGHTON cash it for them. And, speaking of stocks, let’s see what’s on the stock page. Market quotations for technicolor television are way up! Leave it to a couple of inventors like BOB STILES, and CHARLIE GROSS to dream up some colorful scheme. But I suppose it real- ly is much better than the old black and white — especially to get an eyeful of JIMMIE ROURKE on his amateur hour program. He had some real talent last night! BILLY BARBOUR and his Baton Battalion featuring DICK ALTHER on the bazuka, FLOYD BENNETT on the sweet potato, WALLY DOUGHTY on the washboard, RANDALL FAIRBANKS on the cowbells, BOB GIL- LIS on the musical saw, FRANK REED on the bagpipes, and BOB LEWIS at the player piano. The next show featured the four presidents of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Singing in America, the Quartet starring from high to low, WALLY REID, DAVE TARR, AL PYNE, and JOHN DAY. Guess that’s why I slept so late this morning — dreaming about their second tenor! There’s high stock in 1969’s answer to scaley skin, POWELL ' S Pink Plaster for Prettier People. LIZ’s complexion cream is a sure success, and no wonder, look at the owner ! The Tasty Toothpaste Company is in good, too. Credit must go to President JOHN CEMPE’s smile. Oh! I haven’t looked at the funnies yet! Here’s the “Daily Daze cartoon drawn by EDDIE NORRIS, and the new three-dim- [ 128 ] ensional cross-word puzzle invented by BILL BOYLE, HAROLD BIGWOOD, and NORMAN BERTHEL. I see that GEORGE COX and GEORGE CUTTER are tied with MURIEL SYLVES- TER and HELENA MURRAY for the title “Puzzle Unpuzzler of the Week.” And look at this! JAY CAMPBELL is drawing a new cartoon detective story, “Secret Agent X” or “Inside the F. B. I. with “COOKIE” CORCORAN.” Well, here ' s the sports page and staff photographer BRAD Smith’s photograph of the Queen Mary returning from the Olym- pic games. Isn’t it wonderful that Melrose’s old basketball trio JOE GIOVINO, ROGER HARRIS, and DICK SKELLEY won the Olympics for us ? And were they surprised on the courts when they bumped into SHIRLEY CROCKER, BARBARA BUSHEE, and GRACE CHARLES, contestants in the hoop-skirt hoopsters league. If you look sharply at this photo you’ll see the AMES’ Amblers racing around the promenade deck. KEN came in first in that in- ternational race, with DICK FLEMING, JACK DAVIS, CHAR- LIE MINOTT, and ALAN WINSLOW tied for second. Ship’s captain BILL JENKS had a special dinner for the Olym- pic champions on the return voyage. Seated around the captain’s table were the riflry winners, GLENNA REDDISH and OSCAR ABEL; the tennis champs, CAROLYN BURDITT and BOB JEP- SON; the high divers, NANCY GEORGE and “SLIM” DEN- NIS; the Australian crawl artists, SHIRLEY JOHN and BOB BENNETT; shuffle board winners, DWIGHT LORD and ANN MILES; midget auto racers WILTON DUDLEY and JACKIE CORSON; and roller skating champions, LORRAINE ROBI- CHAUD and FRANK SFIIEBLER. See that diving bell on the bow of the ship? That’s the one fin and gill specialist LOUIE AMIRAULT uses when he studies deep sea fish. Here at the left of the picture are ALYCE GOODWIN and BETTINA PAGE, floral representatives of the JOE NUTTER House of Horticulture, pinning orchids on the special feature of the Olympics, WALLY HAYWOOD and his all-girl polo team. Stars are RUTH BUTT, DAWN GITTES, and BLANCHE CLINE on chestnut mares; FLO KUMPEL, PHYLLIS GUILD, and JOYCE PARKER on strawberry roans; CAROL WARD and MARCIA VANNAH on black stallions; and Mr. Haywood him- self on a dapple grey. This season’s victor of pigskin prestige is the Boston Tanks team with linemen BRUCE WILLIS, PAUL ROBBINS, FRANK- LIN RANDLETT, DON NORRIS; and back fielders JOHN STILES, WINNIE RICE, and DON WAITT. The team was [ 129 ] coached by owner MARILYN JEPSON and ably assisted by water boy DON PATERSON. Well, after all that athletic energy, I’m afraid I need a vacation, but where? JOHN MURRAY’S classy glass hotel at Miami would be nice, with smiling receptionists AMBER SMITH and MARJO- RIE SMITH; handsome night clerk HLJGH SNOW; peppy eleva- tor operators ANN TALIERI, DOROTHY CROCKETT, and ELAINE E ' TTINGER ; house “dick BOB CUSHMAN; and the delicious cooking of chef BRIAN SIMM. I’d like surfboarding at BOB ELLS’ and DICK DIAMOND’S Riding Academy for Sea- horses, and tanning on the sands so carefully raked by beach comb- er BRAD LOCKE. Then, of course, there’s the center of the win- ter sports world, Lake Coca-Cola, where RUSS CAREY teaches skiing; MARILYN DeLOUIS gives skating demonstrations; and ANDY RASMUSSEN teaches the creative art of snow man mak- ing. The Lake Coca-Cola Inn is positively melodious since manag- er TERRY BELIVEAU installed musical chairs. He even has whistling waiters BILLY CAIRNS, DON MORRISON, and WAR- REN HERRICK; and singing waitresses KATHLEEN FRINK, LOUISE LEE, ANN WORTMAN, MARILYN EMERY, GRACE LEWIS, and PAULINE MacDONALD. Here’s the editorial page, let’s see what editor EARL SIGS- BURY has to say. Oh! It’s about Melrose’s new high school. Ar- chitects BILL ENGLAND, and BOB HANSEN advised contrac- tor DAVID DODGE to build the new school on Ell Pond Knoll, but the taxpayers wanted it built on the spot where the old school had disappeared, so now the parents can’t complain if their kids ' marks are below sea level. Despite its leaky location and soupy surroundings, the school has a learned faculty. Principal Mr. Wilde is that same SHANLEY WILDE of history book fame. JANE BREED and SUE EVANS parlent francais. JOANNE HERSEY teaches Spanish in the morn- ing, and LOIS HOEY teaches it in the afternoon when Joanne takes over her violin classes. BILL LEVISTON heads the history department. ROBERTA JONES and JANE LANDICK trisect angles for the math classes. ELEANOR AMAZEEN instructs sculpture and clay modeling. AUDREY HILL and BETTE JA- COBS teach filing. MARGUERITE MacNEIL and BETTY STAPLES are in charge of speed typing. MURIEL SHAUGH- NESSY and JOE MEEHAN teach the gymnastic gyrations. In the English department, VIVIAN LUNDQUIST splits the infini- tives, and HOPE SCHWARTZ dangles the participles. BARBA- RA WHITNEY is helping Caesar divide Gaul into three parts, while RICHARD CLARK takes care of the nuts in an auto mech- anics course. The papers are certainly full of advertisements these days! [ 13° ] Here’s a full page ad from WHITE’S department store. JACKIE and MARY LOU have made so many millions in their king-size merchandise mart that they’ve had to hire BERTON WILSON to be floor walker on the first floor, PAUL PORTER to walk the sec- ond, FRANCIS MURRAY to walk the third, and so on up to the fortieth story where RALPH MacCUTCHEON is floor walker in charge of floor walkers. New salesgirls for the new departments too! In Self-inflating Houses and Small Apartments is MARILYN CORCORAN; LOUISE BE ARSE sells electronic egg beaters; in the ball-point typewriter department is ELEANOR BROWN; BILL FREEMAN markets the latest telephones complete with tele- vision screen; ELEANOR FRENCH is chief of the fire hose de- partment; on the third floor, BARBARA NESPOR runs the silver shop where delicately hand made jewelry is sold; MARGERY WEBER is in charge of charge accounts while CLAIRE MURPHY and MARILYN LORD settle the complaints. But there aren’t many, because the White’s business staff is so capably headed by BARBARA ROONEY AND GERTRUDE SANDGREN. And today’s the day that LOIS CHAPMAN’S new restaurant opens. I bet it will be mobbed with people rushing to see the un- veiling of LEAH WAGHORNE’S artistic wall murals which dec- orate the dining room. I’m glad head waiter BOB DiPERSIO has ELAINE CROCKETT, CONNIE GLENNON, LOIS KIT- TREDGE, LOIS HANES, JEANETTE MOULAISON, and BET- TY CURRIER for assistants. Cashier JOAN PYNE has an x-ray cash register to detect counterfeit money, and spotters MILDRED RICHARDSON, MARY SULLIVAN, GRACE WARREN, and CAROL WILLI ' TS search the crowd with binoculars for pick poc- kets. And speaking of ads here’s the crowning glory ! Hats from the Chez Chic Chapeau de JACQUIE BAILEY. Jacquie’s hats are not only ornamental, but also very useful. For example, the one in this ad, modeled by ELAINE HAMMERSTROM, is a dozen knitting needles tied under the chin with red yarn. JOAN KEL- LIHER looks adorable in a flower pot trimmed with packaged seeds; ELAINE ROSSI percolates under an inverted coffee pot; NANCY MICKLER wears a snappy lamp shade; and a pink frost- ed angel cake is modeled by MARTHA MacQUARRIE. Here’s another ad for the Phoni Home Permanent Company owned by twins JIM and CHARLES BUTLER, and AL and BOB MUNROE. The cute models are JOY and JOANNE WEBBER. Which twin has the Phoni ? You’d certainly know this was the atomic age from one look at the papers! TOMMY MORRISSEY is making Up and At’Em Soap Flakes, and the RONALD C. STORTI Company manufac- tures A-tomic Ache Dog Food for pups and grown-ups. The big business trio, JOHN LEAHY, GEORGE KEELER, and [ is 1 BOB KELLY are advertising their all-American breakfast food, Crunchie Wunchies. endorsed by the Braves pitcher, DAVE RAT- TRAY, who has a big bowl for breakfast before every game. Rival of Crunchie Wunchies is CHARLOTTE COBURN’S new break- fast treat, Sludge. It doesn‘t snap, it doesn’t crackle, it doesn’t pop; it just lies there in the bowl and sops up the milk. Oh! The theater page. I see the new movie “The Man With the Red Hair” starring DON HUGHES is playing at BOB BURNS’ new three-dimensional theater. That’s the one with the delicious pop corn handipopped by BILL DAMON and the Popcornettes, NANCY BAIN, JOYCE CLARKE, JACKIE DODIER, MARIE MUISE, and JEAN ERICKSON, who wear corn yellow colonels’ uniforms and paddle Bill’s yellow corn kernels. The COURTNEY WRIGHT Theater Critic Column gives a good review to BETTY BAILEY’S new play, “I Remember Pa- pa”, with THORNTON LAURIAT in the leading role. At the BOB PEDERSON playhouse, I see DICK BURR rides again in the rough and ready western “San Antone!” Have you seen the last newsreel of the solar energy plane’s trip around the world, The plane was co-piloted by JUDY EAMES and PEGGY PLUMMER, with air hostesses JANE WOODLAND and MURIEL TROY. In Russia, the plane landed just as GRACE ANDERSON and MARILYN BURKE were pushing back the iron curtain; in Egypt, the pilots learned the news that JEAN RIT- TER was starting an authentic pyramid club; and in Italy the plane flew by as perfectionist RUTH SOMMERFELT was straightening out the leaning tower of Pisa. Last week Hollywood’s successor to Lucille Ball, RUTH GIL- DART, made a personal appearance and the mob was HUGE! They called out the mounted police and it took not only DICK FOSTER on his motorcycle, but CLIFFORD GRAVES, DICK MERRILL, ARMAND GUPTILL, DICK MERRICK, and KEN- NY PRESTON mounted on horses, to keep back the crowds. HAYWOOD CAYTING, the rapid calculation artist, counted the feet, divided by two, and discovered there were over a million in the mob. Lots of them were famous people too! There was BILL MARTIN, the Mt. Hood ski champ; JEAN McDONALD, the Philharmonic xylophonist; PHYLLIS MOORCROFT, owner of the 200 carat Moorcroft diamond; STANLEY ODDSON, test pilot of cosmic ray cars; Massachusetts congresswoman JANET ROURKE ; BRAD “Bring’em back alive” SMITH of African hunt- ing fame; and DICK SPARKS, current winner of the Irish Sweep Stakes. Academy award winner CYNTHIA COCHRANE is going to star in producer DAVE LETTENEY’S new film “Mad Martha’s Vineyard”, or “Grapes of Wrath,” written by MARY LOU PAGE, [ 132 ] with musical background composed by JOHN DOWD and con- ducted by BILL LEHMAN; and costumes by BEHRLE of Bever- ly Hills. JANET just introduced some sensational new styles at a Hollywood fashion show. The fashions were based on reproduc- tions of Egyptian costumes and were modeled by girls from the Salon de BILL RUSSO. BARBARA CAIRNS modeled petrified wood high heels, RUTH GRIFFEN, a camel’s hair coat, ELAINE KENNEDY, a feathered pharo bonnet, and JOAN WOODWARD, a draped mummy suit. Today’s the premier of the musical extravaganza “Up in Boston Common.” Quite the show, I guess, introducing modern dance artists SHIRLEY JEPSON, JACKIE ILSLEY, SUE STANTON, and the “skates to skirts” modern dancers DICK BEAN, FRAN- NIE CONNOLLY, and RONNIE PLACE. The musical score stars KATY MORTENSON as the heroine, NILS BENGSTON as the hero, CAROLYN HUNNEWELL as the other woman, and NOEL HARDY as the villain. “Up in Boston Common” was writ- ten by IRA FURLONG, and it’s the touching saga of love on a swanboat. The part of the swanboat is touchingly played by AR- THUR WELLS. Hmmmnn! That’s funny! The last time I saw Art he was playing the posterior of a P. T. A. pony! Say, what’s the date of this paper? Well, no wonder there’s so much news! It’s June 7, 1969. f US] Presentations Enter — Stork pushing bassinet filled with gifts. Hello, all my happy children ! You don’t remember me, though. Why, I’m the stork that brought you Not so many years ago. It was such a bumper crop those years, All beautiful and hearty; I vowed I would come back today And join your Class Day party. To audience: My, oh my, how they have changed! To me they look just fine. I know how proud you parents are Of this Class of ’49. Through your years at Melrose High School I have watched this ’49 brook; And today I have brought a few trinkets, Hoping to match your various mood s. Of these trinkets I have just a few, For more I could not carry; But I hope to return again some day And longer with you tarry. I want you to take it all in fun — The way it is meant to be; And you may be repaid some day When I roost on your family tree. I checked the ladies carefully. Now who should wear the crown As the girl who always wears a smile In place of scowl or frown? The boys I then got busy on; This put me in a stew. To single out just one of them Was a difficult thing to do. Charlotte Colburn and Sudhi Lekhyananda (dolls) The best natured boy and girl. To each of you a sample Of the little things I may bring to you. You’ll set them a good example. Allen and Robert Munro, James and Janet Rourke, Joanne and Joy Webber. Ken and Pauline Ames, Charles and James Butler (name plates) Here we have five pairs of twins, It is no optical illusion. I wish you’d wear these name plates, though; ’Twould surely stop the confusion ! [ i34 ] Marilyn, Shirley, and Robert Jepson (three ring pretzels) We have here the Jepson triplets. Now why. I’d like to know, Unlike these identical pretzels, Very differendy they had to grow? Barbara Whitney, Bill Barbour, Don Paige (bricks) Shirley Jepson, Anne Wortman, Dick Burnham (vitamins) Even in my wildest dreams, I could not picture such extremes To you a brick to bear you low. To you, vitamins to make you grow. Alice Goodwin, Betty Currier, Marilyn Jepson, Leah Waghorne, Alice Lyle (lemons) To you girls who possess this golden hair I suppose it’s an old. old story; A lemon to each one of you To enhance your crowning glory. Oscar Abel (wrench) When your pipes have sprung a leak, Or your car rattles like an old tin can, Just call an able Oscar. For he is the “Fix-it” man. John Stiles (hockey puck) John made the ALL STARS It wasn’t just luck; He should have an “Oscar”, But I’ll give him a puck. Barbara Cairns and Elaine Hammerstrom (teething rings) These girls are oh so gullible For everything they bite; I suggest you use these teething rings Until you see the light. Paul Robbins and George Robbins (nests) Here are our two Robbins So, since this is all in jest, What, could be more appropriate Than these two robins’ nests? Don Paige (wings) Upstairs at 8:12 You always scurry; Perhaps these wings Will help you hurry. Joan Knight (throat lozenges) Here is our head cheer leader [ H5] Of the colors red and white; For her a box of lozenges To ease her throat at night. (wave lotion) They say that waves like you have Come with patience and devotion; If you should ever lose yours, Try this excellent wave lotion. Bill Damon (horse) You drive the midget autos, But for you I’ve brought a horse. He will get you there in safety, Though not so fast, of course. Ruth Sommervelt (sturdley) For Ruth I have a sturdley. She’ll recognize it right away. With compliments of her favorite artists — “Matinee with Bob and Ray.” Bruce Willis (elastic) Elastic stretches, and so do you, With every story you tell; My advic e is — become a salesman: You should do very well. Harold Bigwood (Toni) Your hair is the envy of all the girls; Of course I know it’s a phony. To keep those beautiful waves and curls, I give to you this “Toni”. Kenny Ames (record) Kenny Ames is the track team star; He runs at a terrific rate. For him I have a record — Just one more record to break! Grace Anderson (chewing gum) Grace is always chewing At school, at work, at play; What — no gum at present?. I guess I saved the day! Joseph Giovino (doctor’s shingle) Joe has chosen his profession, A doctor he hopes to be; A bit in advance (but I know you’ll make it) Joseph Giovino, M. D. Frannie Germonprez (bag of jelly beans) Rumor now has it That Dick you’ve “Bean” dating. Nibble these jelly beans [ 136 ] Should he keep you waiting. Dick Bean (fan) Standing here before us Is a very bashful man. To hide those crimson blushes, I present you with a fan. Don Paterson, Winston Rice, Chuck Pulsford, Bob Young (stars) Here are the stars of the football team Whose spirit won the fight. Three cheers for the gallant Red Raiders Who fought for the Red and White ! Pauline Ames (mirror) It was plain to see When you were small, That you would be The fairest of all. William Boyle (false teeth) Bill has an ambition, A dentist is his aim; Hope this pair of false teeth Will bite your way to fame. Don Norris (toupe) Little did I ever dream You’d be another “Benny.” A toupe now I have for you To wear when you haven’t any! Joan Waltermire (baton) Joan is in many ways gifted, Especially with poetry and song; A leader in all she undertakes, As symbolized by this baton. Don Paterson (bottle of Pepsi Cola) Don is the strong, silent type, On the football field he peps ’em; I wonder how he uses his wiles When he is dating a Jepson. Bill Russo (Call name several times) (firecracker) Well, I guess he did not make it, As usual, he’s late! He’ll need this stick of dynamite To help him graduate! And now I’ll have to leave you. GOOD LUCK to you one and all. And who knows — maybe someday I’ll make you a personal call. [ 137 ] Class Ode of 1949 by R. Nancy Wells 1. Hail, our guide of learning With this strain of praise. Goddess of our knowledge, Skyward we would raise. 2. May the torch of learning Light up every way, Keep our goal before us As our guide and stay. CHORUS We give three cheers for Melrose High. A tribute we would raise. We lift her banner to the sky. And her glorious name we praise. Our grateful thanks for every year. For knowledge that we’ve gained. We hail our Alma Mater, dear. The source of all attained.
