Shim min M Parents, teachers, and friends, as representative of this class, it is my pleasure to welcome you today. Gathering here for the last time after four long, but happy years in Melrose High School, we hope you will join with us in an afternoon of fun and enjoyment. Becausb of our kind and understanding teachers, our four years have been profitable, as well as a happy experience, for us, which we shall always look back upon with joy and satisfaction. Relax as we bring to you, our welcome guests, a glimpse of the past and a preview of the future of the Class of 1954. Carolyn M. Smith Graduation? — It seems impossible that we, the Class of 1954, are about to leave Melrose High School. Since September 9, 1950, much has happened; and I will now relate to you, the audience, who cannot believe that your son or daughter is graduating, and to you, the class, who can scarcely believe you are about to graduate, a few of the memorable happenings. As Freshmen, we were as gullible as most classes. Our first few weeks were spent taking wrong lunches, going to a history class instead of an English class, looking for those elevators for which the Seniors sold tickets, and being pro- verbial nuisances to the upper classes. Finally we became accustomed to this hectic life and settled down to the serious job of studying. Showing prowess in the field of sports, the Frosh football team had a record of 3 wins, one loss. Tom Murphy, Ed Shimmin, Tony Gittes, Dave Currier, Bob Ryan, Don Sullivan, Paul Clinton, Jerry Walsh, Larry Kelley, and Dick Waitt composed the first team. The Hockey Team in the Suburban Junior League had Dick Cleary, Bob Rothwell, A1 Lucci, Tony Gittes, Charlie Garniss, Charlie Hefford, and Bob Fyfe in its line up. Bob Dias, even as a freshman, was proving himself to be a future star on the Track team. The Cross Country team finished with a 3-2 record. As for Girls ' Sports, Cynthia Locke and Florence Ray were the scorers on the Basketball team, which met defeat by the seniors in the Girls ' Basketball Tournament. On the Varsity Softball team were Sue Dolber and Marie Sheridan. The underclass dramatic organization, Cloak and Plume, presented White Christmas in which the acting abilities of Jane Bean, Felice Taylor, Hope Coish, Bud Sylvester, and Marcia Easson were displayed. Singing Lullabye of Broadway , Claire Young captured first prize in the Girls ' Club Talent Show. Second prize went to another freshman, Priscilla Carney, who gave the reading, St. Peter at the Gate. Later in the year, the Cloak and Plume Society presented The Old Lady Shows Her Medals and Buddy Buys an Orchid. In this performance Paula Gross, Cynthia Locke, and Diane Beers added their names to the list of our thespians. The only freshman to become a drum majorette was Janet Wadland. When our freshman year was over, we had something to be especially proud of. We, having the largest number on the Honor and Credit Lists, led the school in scholastic achievement; and we kept this record until this year, when the present freshman class took over the leadership. After a long summer vacation, we resumed our studies as Sophomores. We started the year off by electing as our class officers Richard Waitt, president; Dana Drown (who moved from Melrose at the end of the Sophomore year), vice-president; Jo-Ellen Lowe, secretary; and Gerald Walsh, treasurer. Elected from our class to be on the Student Council were Carolyn Stollatis and Jack Kelly. Pat Phalen added her name to the Drum Majorettes, thus making a total of two sophomores on the squad. By this year some of us were showing skill in various sports. Representing our class in Cross Country were Bob Dias and Leonard Wallace. Both boys helped the team which went undefeated in League competition, copped the Pioneer Division Championship, took second place in both the League Meet and the State Meet, and finished eighth in the New England contest. Bob, with two upper class boys, represented Melrose High School at the Northeastern Indoor Track Meet and at the State Indoor Track Meet. During the sophomore year, pupils are eligible for try-outs for the Glee Club. Hence Iolanthe , the production for this year, had among its stars Nancy Kenneson, Claire Young, and Nancy-Sue Riley. In the winter sport of hockey Charlie Garniss, Tony Gittes, Dick Cleary, and A1 Lucci were the sophomore representatives. The team ended with a two-win, six-loss, two-tie record. When the Imprint, our school paper, held its annual try-outs for reporters, the successful sophomores were Peter Betts, Diane Connors, Hope Coish, Dave Currier, Marcia Easson, Larry Lottridge, Jo-Ellen Lowe, Mary Jane Sheldon, Dorothy Smith, and Sidney Smith. It was now time for the Cloak and Plume to give its two yearly plays. The choices made this year were The Spider ' s Web and Elmer and the Love Bug. Try to remember back just two short years, and I am sure you will recall Russell Pope, Frank Stadler, Ernest Hovey, Paula Gross, Bill McCarthy, Jane Bean, Diane Beers, and Donald Bergmann in their starring roles. A recent attraction at Melrose High School has been the Rifle teams. Larry Lottridge, Don Tanner, and Dave Tyler received rifle letters from the Boys ' team; Sue Dolber and Joan Manning, from the Girls ' team. Who would not want to be the expert marksmen these pupils proved to be? Summer was here again, and the next time we entered the doors of Melrose High School it was as Juniors. We started off that year by electing our class officers. The only officer to be returned from the previous year was Jo-Ellen, as secretary. The new president was Tony Gittes; vice-president, Dave Currier; and treasurer, Carolyn Stollatis. Eleanor Tringali and Dick Waitt were our Student Council members. Many more names were added to the Imprint staff, either as reporters, art assistants, or typists; but the only junior on the editorial staff was Diane Con- nors, as Copy Editor. And now to return to sports again. Even though we cheered on our team, we were defeated time and time again. Then suddenly on Thanksgiving Day, we defeated Arlington 10-7. Who will ever be able to forget that eventful day? That season Dave Currier was elected as center on the Boston all-scholastic eleven. In Cross country, we were again the State Champs. Adding his name to those of Bob and Len was Pete Cobleigh. The Basketball team was not successful in winning a game. Although the boys did not have a very impressive record, Don Bergmann, Ed Shimmin, Bob Gibbons, and Dick Waitt were obviously stars. Chuck Garniss and Tony Gittes were the only veterans from our class to return to the Hockey squad. The team ended with a record of two wins, four losses, and one tie. Now to Girls ' Sports! The Field Hockey team had as its stars Jane Thomp- son, Sue Dolber, Gertrude Staples, Eleanor Tringali, Priscilla Carney, and Betsy Brooke. The team tried hard, but, with the exception of one tie, lost all of its games. Gail MacAfee, a new member to our class from Stoneham, was the star on the Basketball team. Many more juniors helped to make the basketball sea- son a success as far as sportsmanship was concerned. As juniors, too, Catherine Badessa and Florence Rossano became our third and fourth drum majorettes. The Masque and Wig, the upper-class dramatic organization, had as its play Curtain Going Up. I am sure you remember Diane Beers, Jane Bean, Paula Gross, Elizabeth Hammond, Sally Ward, and Grace Smith in their respec- tive roles. Sweethearts,” put on by the Glee Club and under the able direction of Mr. Withington, was a tremendous success. The juniors with starring roles were Nancy Kenneson, Marcia Gillespie, Larry Lottridge, Russell Pope, Nancy-Sue Riley, Joyce Wilder, Sidney Smith, Claire Young, and Sally Ward. During Spring vacation, almost one third of our class went with Mr. Mc- Pheters to Washington. Here they learned many things relating to politics and history and had an EXCITING time doing so. The highlight of our junior year was of course the Junior Prom. With the Coronation as its theme, the dance was enjoyed by all tho ' se who attended. Holding the lucky ticket, Dave Henry and Nancy Garniss were crowned King and Queen. Twenty-eight members of our class were now eligible for the Honor Society after second quarter results. The year was nearing its close; but before we left for our summer vacations, some final business had to be taken care of. The Girls ' Club elected five juniors to take over the offices of the departing seniors. The new officers were Jo-Ellen Lowe, president; Carolyn Stollatis, vice- president; Judy Culver, secretary; Hope Coish, treasurer; and Ann Ritchie, cor- responding secretary. Another two of our class joined the Cheerleading squad. They were Jac- quelyn Kehoe and Carolyn Cummings, adding their names to those of Sara Lee Lehman, Jo-Ellen Lowe, Louise DePietro, and Ann Johnson. The Imprint was given over to the direction of Editor-in-chief, Francis Neelon, News Editor, Joyce Wilder; Feature Editor, Diane Beers; Exchange Editor, Hope Coish; Managing Editor, Peter Betts; Boys ' Sports Editor, Charles Logue; and Girls ' Sports Editor, Jo-Ellen Lowe. Charles Logue and Gunnar Wikstrom were chosen to attend Boys ' State, where they were elected City Clerk and District Court Judge, respectively. Charles was also chosen at Boys ' State to try out for Boys ' Nation. Joyce Wilder, our representative at Girls ' State, was elected Senator. In the Boys ' Rifle Club, Richard Adams and Donald Tanner won the awards as the two top scorers. Congratulations certainly went to them. When fall came, we were seniors, a position we had longed for. Except for having to climb four flights of stairs every morning, we were glad that we occu- pied that top floor. With the exception of Ed Shimmin as our president, our class officers are the same as our junior year. Our Student Council members are Jack Kelly and Dick Waitt. Under our new coach, Mr. Austin, the Red Raiders were able to win 5, but lost 3. Again on Thanksgiving Day Arlington lost to us. Besides Jack Kelly and Ed Shimmin, the co-captains, Dave Currier, Bob Scamman, Tony Gittes, John Hogan, and Dick Waitt were stars. The Cross Country team had another outstanding season. Dave Hjerpe added his name this year to the long list of Melrose High School runners. Managing to win three games this year, the Basketball team has shown great improvement. Adding their names to those of the returning lettermen, Bob Gibbons, Dan Miller, Bob Scamman, and Dick Waitt, were Dave Currier and Don LeSaffre. Displaying their skill on the Baseball diamond were Don LeSaffre, A1 Lucci, Paul Clinton, Roy Wallace, and Bob Scamman. The Hockey team, finishing in third place in the G. B. I. League, was cap- tained by Chuck Garniss. Two more outstanding players were Tony Gittes and Dick Cleary. Pat Phalen was chosen head of the Drum Majorettes for this year; and Ann Johnson was captain of the Cheer Leaders. Masque and Wig presented this year the comedy Dear Ruth, starring such veterans as Jane Bean, Sidney Smith, Paula Gross, Russell Pope, Nancy Ken- neson, and Ted Hovey. The seniors who, by achieving high scholastic rating, became members of the Honor Society were Judy Culver, Mary Edwards, Arlene Gaige, Nola Jack, Nancy Kenneson, Stan Martel, Elizabeth Mellon, Rosamond Vetree, Claire Bag- enstose, Audrey Earle, Bernice Hefford, Cynthia Locke, and Mary Stuart. They added their names to those of Diane Beers, Don Bergman, Peter Betts, Betsy Brooke, Gladys Brown, Priscilla Carney, Hope Coish, Diane Connors, Sue Dol- ber, Marcia Gillespie, Louise Giovino, Paula Gross, David Hjerpe, Marion Hong, Eleanor Hutchinson, Larry Lottridge, Louise Murray, Francis Neelon, Russell Pope, Linda Robbins, Mary Ja ne Sheldon, Marie Sheridan, Carolyn Smith, Ger- trude Staples, Elise Tashjian, Joyce Watson, Clyde Wilder, and Joyce Wilder, the juniors who became eligible last year. Only Girl, the Glee Club production for this year had as its stars Nancy Kenneson, Sid Smith, Claire Young, Russell Pope, Bill McCarthy, Marcid Gil- lespie, Jack Kelly, Larry Lottridge, Nancy-Sue Riley, and Sally Ann Ward. Our Student Government Day Representative was Tony Gittes; our D. A. R. girl, Jo-Ellen Lowe. 1954 ' s Log was edited by the following people: Dave Currier, Editor-in-chief — with the Literary Staff made up of Diane Beers, Barbara Bell, Phyllis Feindel, Sara Lee Lehman, Francis Neelon, and Carolyn Stollatis; David Henry, Business Manager — with a business staff made up of Don Bergman, Judy Culver, Charles Garniss, Marjorie Gittes, Charlie Logue, and Carolyn Smith; Mary Edwards, Art Editor — with an art staff made up of Linda Robbins, Bob Williams, Paula Gross, and Don Dias. And now our four short years are over at Melrose High School; soon it will be time for us to leave. Our future depends on how we use the knowledge we have gained up to this point and what we will continue to gain. Let ' s hope that it will be we who will be able to find a way to create peace and brotherhood throughout the world. Si atistics aj the (L la as ej 1954 Marjorie Gittes Good afternoon parents and friends of the class of 1954. I ' m going to reveal to you the biggest scoop of the year — a preview of the Who ' s Who in Melrose High. One of the leading celebrities in this year ' s volume is our Most Popular Boy. He is our class president, president of Student Council, and a prominent mem- ber of numerous clubs and sports activities. The boy who fits this description is none other than ED SHIMMIN. Our Most Popular Girls are JO-ELLEN LOWE and CAROLYN STOLLATIS. Jo-Ellen is President of Girls ' Club, Secretary of our class, D.A.R. Representative, and Girls ' Sport Editor of the Imprint. Carolyn is our class treasurer, Vice Presi- dent of Girls ' Club, and President of G.A.A. Many eyes will focus on one personality in the Who ' s Who volume. Take a careful look as Our Best Looking Boy DONNIE LeSAFFRE stands. Who is the Atlas of our class? Why, it ' s TONY GITTES, our Most Athletic Boy. Besides being an indispensable member of the football, hockey, and base- ball teams, Tony has been a credit to our high school acting as our representa- tive on Good Government Day. His female rival is the most outstanding athlete of the girls ' field hockey, basketball, and softball teams. Yes, you ' ve guessed it. Our Most Athletic Girl is SUE DOLBER. If you ' re one of the many who are unpoised and lack confidence on the dance floor, let me refer you to the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers of Melrose High School — DONALD SULLIVAN and LOUISE DEPIETRO, who have won the distinction of being the Best Dancers. When the curtain has gone up for the Masque and Wig performances, you have found in the spotlight JANE BEAN, our Class Actress, and SIDNEY SMITH, the Class Actor. That quiet and reserved figure that you see in the corridors of the high school who always has a pleasant and demure smile for all is our Most Bashful Girl. MARION HONG. If any of our female students have received secret love notes from an anonymous writer, the guilty person was most probably DICK CLEARY, our Most Bashful Boy. The Who ' s Who of ' 54 is proud to include a girl who has really earned her remarkable grades. Our Most Studious Girl is MARY JANE SHELDON. Every class is endowed with at least one person talented in the ability to bluff, successfully, his way through days of untouched homework. Our Most Athletic Boy, TONY GITTES, has also won the title of the Most Successful Bluffer. Tony ' s unfortunate counterpart, a permanent resident of Melrose High School ' s dog house, is JOHN HOGAN, our Least Successful Bluffer. Poise, charm, manners, and amiability are only a few of the qualities pos- sessed by CYNTHIA LOCKE, our Most Dignified Senior. The Who ' s Who has chosen as 1954 ' s Best Natured Girl, DONNA WISE- MAN. Donna has contributed to many happy school hours with her cheerful smile and disposition. Donna has also the honor of having been chosen the Class Poet. Our Seniors have had quite a struggle to restrain themselves when fun- loving pranksters initiate their clean white bucks. But the exception is our Best Natured Boy, BOB SCAMMAN. A spy from the Who ' s Who staff must have been posted outside room 106 to determine the origin of spontaneous gales of laughter. Who else but our Class Wit could have caused such an uproar? BILLY McCARTHY. When Billy is disrupting the classrooms, one shrill giggle can be Jjeard coming from GRACE SMITH, our Class Giggler. Red must look extremely attractive on blondes — and it does on our Class Blusher. ANN JOHNSON. Our Most Fastidious Girl is one who is easily capable of competing with any top-fashion model. This trim, well-clad figure belongs to DIANE BEERS. Every class has its genius, but the class of ' 54 is proud to claim two Class Geniuses. The two students who have the natural ability that average students crave are: DONALD BERGMANN and FRANCES NEELON. We want to say best of luck to Frances Neelon who has also been voted the student Most Likely to Succeed. From under whose fluttering eyelashes appear those bewitching glances which lure even the stronger willed of our senior boys? The Who ' s Who ' s choice for Class Flirt of ' 54 is ELAINE KENNEY. Imagine artistic talent, sophistication, individuality, charm, literary ability, and beauty combined in one person! The Most Original Senior who fits this description is — CLAIRE BAGENSTOSE. Our class Exaggerator shows great promise in the field of popular fiction. During the past four years she has offered material which is worthy of an Academy-Award-winning movie! Of course you know of whom I am speaking — CLAIRE YOUNG. The student who is Least Often on Time earned his title after spending many hours in Mr. Dixon ' s office. Although he was lectured on the fact that he must never depend on a girl to drive him to school, TONY GITTES has erred time and again! Our two Class Pals who stick together like bread and butter are THELMA WRIGHT and ELEANOR CAPUANO. Our Class Songstress has certainly helped to make Melrose High School operettas overwhelming successes. The class of ' 54 wishes a prosperous future to our exceptionally gifted NANCY KENNESON. If being saintly infers that one is capable, ambitious, conscientious, and a perfectionist, LOUISE MURRAY has truly earned the title of Class Saint. It seems that our class offers talent in many fields. The Class Swing Fan, who has livened up many downcast faces with his rhythmic drumsticks, is LORING CROSSMAN. In the field of art, the Who ' s Who of ' 54 has chosen as Class Artist a boy who is well-known in the high school for his drawings and for his position as Art Eddor of the Imprint. It can be no one but BOB WILLIAMS. Our Best Dressed Boy and Girl have brightened up the fourth floor corri- dors and classrooms, and have been excellent examples of neatness for every- one to follow. Winning this final distinction are ELEANOR TRINGALI and DANNY MILLER. It seems that I have omitted someone — The Best Looking Girl. That honor ' s been won By I think some mistake there must be Because the name written here belongs to me. Sidney D. Smith On my way to work I usually see quite a number of people, important and otherwise. Since I have a notion that I ' m likely to see several people whom you may know, I ' d like to invite you along. Walking through this crowd on the sidewalk we see on their way to work: Lucille Barrett, the kindergarten teacher; Barbara Bell, a disc jockey for WBMS; poker champion Eddie Rolfe; Bruce Oliver, a history teacher; George Olson, the loudspeaker expert; Jimmy Squires, advertising manager for Buick; Dick Brady, an assistant to Walt Disney; and Judy Cutler, the production manager for Ford Motors. And there goes Marion Hong leading a group of her first-grade pupils. Have you anything to say, Marion? (She utters a low moan and moves on.) On our right we see that ex-gag-writer for Milton Berle, Arthur Griggs. Roaring by in his 1931 Dusenberg we see Carl Gylphe and Bill Hayward, probably on their way to pick up Don Lawrence. They are all steady customers of Joanne Kearney, the noted phrenologist. There goes Gladys Savage, an efficiency expert for IBM; Jimmy Shepherd, comptroller for General Motors, with his secretary Marie Sheridan; Carolyn Smith and Dorothy Smith of Smith Sisters Throat Lozenges and Stomach Ache Easer fame; Nancy Small, designer of fashions for tall girls; Rosamond Vetree, who conducts tours through Chinatown; and those famous white hunters, Don Tanner and Janice Whitehorn. I see Brooks South over there. He hunts things, on the corner of Tremont and Boylston. Scrambling by us in a rush to- get the bus we see Joanne Sutherland, Secretary of the G. A. R.; Don Bergmann, an understudy on the Shakespearean Stage; Sandra Simpson and Betty Bernard who own Simpson ' s Semi-Seamless Stockings; Anita Amirault, advertising director for Ringling Brothers Circus; Joan Bampton, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians; and Arthur Bennett, the well- known photographer of babies. Getting off of the bus are famous artist Mary Edwards; hairstylist Astrid Erickson; world-renowned organist Nancy Enggren; champion cricket player Don Flanagan, and Pulitzer Prize winner Marcia Easson. Riding along on the bus we pass one of the chain restaurants of Tom Dustin and Gordon Flight; the beauty shop of Angelina Di Mauro, Beverly Doucette, and Betty Ford; the travel agency of Marjorie Wills, Nancy Fairbanks, and Irene Emanuelson; Herbie Farnham ' s record shop; the used car lot of Tom Ferguson, Adam Foster, and Francis Fox; Charlie Hefford and Bernice Hefford ' s dairy products warehouse in front of which is custodian Catherine Badessa; and MacDonald ' s Meat Market, run by Allan and Neil MacDonald with their manager Stan Martel and delivery truck driver Ann Ritchie. Stepping off the bus you will notice that we are near the building which houses the Muse Music Company, run by Janice and Joe Muse. This is also the headquarters Jor Local 614 of the Musicians Union. Some of the members there today are piccolo player Frank Robinson; Jimmy Conway, solo trumpet for Pee Wee Hunt; Juke Box repairmen John Callahan, Don Cogan, and Bob Cronin; Nancy Kenneson, a soloist with the Metropolitan Opera Company, Sara Lehman, radio ' s new Lonesome Gal ; Stanley Schurgin, first French horn for Stan Kenton; Frank Stadler, first piano with the New York Philharmonic; Felice Taylor, a hostess for Arthur Murray; Dave Tyler, who plays piano for Spike Jones, with his music arranger Elise Tashjian; Bob Williams, popular crooner; Thelma Wright, ballet dancer; Joyce Wilder, director of all-state chorus; night-club singer Claire Young; and Loring Crossman, the third man in a drum trio with Louie Bellson and Gene Krupa. That building on the corner is Marjorie Frederick ' s Home for Retired White Russians. Before we enter this large office building on our left, I ' d like to point out a few more people whom I feel you may know. There ' s Dick Adams, the desk clerk at the New Colonial Hotel; Ronald Anderson, floorwalker for Saks Fifth Avenue; Stanley Austin, an English teacher; fashion model, Claire Bagenstose; Newell Bearse, winner of the Indian- apolis Speedway Race; Peter Betts, skating instructor at Rockefeller Plaza; fashion designers Betsey Cairns, Diane Beers and Ann Johnson; Priscilla Carney, a field worker for Ripley ' s Believe It or Not ; Paul Clinton, Professor of English at Cornell; Pete Cobleigh, Olympic track champion; CBS commercial writers Hope Coish and Pat Collupy; Diane Connors, editor of the New York Times; Janice Coots, commercial writer for NBC; Congress-women Judy Culver, Louise Murray and Jo-Ellen Lowe; and Eleanor Hutchinson, the inventor of the better mousetrap. Incidentally, that large truck that just went by is the property of Bill Rotondi ' s construction firm. Cliff Rowell is his vice-president with Gertrude Staples and Kay DeCoste his chief engineers. As we enter this large office building the first people we see are recep- tionists Janet Beard, Gladys Brown, and Carol Washburn. By the way, Marcia Gillespie is a receptionist at the White House, White House Restaurant, that is. After the receptionists we run across Sonja Andersen and Joyce Watson at the information desk. Just behind the information desk is the first-aid booth with nurses Bernadette Babcock, Eleanor Greeley, and Ruth Jacobsen, along with psychiatrist Eileen Nania, brairr surgeons Bernadette McKenna and Barbara Keating, and dentist Eleanor Leighton in attendance. Before we get on the elevator, which is operated by Raymon Webster, we catch a glimpse of Admiral Charles Margeson talking with Captain Nancy-Sue Riley of the Waves.

Probably the most difficult task cf the year was the preparation of the annual Winter Ball. George Horwood ' s orchestra supplied the music. The dance, which is one of two formal dances open to the entire school, was a huge success. The Student Council, which is made up of the officers of the three upper classes and two representatives from each class, has been kept busy throughout the year. In the line of charity work the Council sponsored a two-day drive to raise funds for the purpose of adopting a child. The student body generously responded and enough money was raised to adopt a child from Korea. The Council also began preparing a Point System which it felt would encourage students to have more interest in extra-curricular activi- ties. During the football season the Council help- Two delegates were sent to the annual ed to promote school spirit by selling booster i New England Student Government Association buttons.

The Student Congress throughout the year works in close harmony with the Student Coun- cil. One member is elected to the Congress by each homeroom. It is his duty to sell tickets to dances, and keep the student informed of the Student Council ' s meetings. %tal C on ncd eu and on atess enio t uteaii President: Priscilla Carney Advisor: Mr. Stanwick The Speaker ' s Bureau is comprised of sen- ior boys and girls who have an interest in public speaking. The most important function of the mem- bers is to read the notices which are heard throughout the school daily. Each week a dif- ferent boy and girl announce the various activi- ties of interest to all the pupils. The students who read the notices about once a month are Diane Beers, Peter Betts, Nancy Kenneson, Rus- sell Pope, Arlene Gaige, Sidney Smith, Claire Yeung, David Hjerpe, Diane Connors, Sawyer Sylvester, Pamela Mahan, Anthony ' ' Gittes, Carol Washburn, Marcia Gillespie, Richard Waitt, Diana Walton, Jane Bean, Robert Fyfe, and one junior member Scott Palmer. Their Attention Please is femiliar to everyone at M. H. S. Another phase of the work of the members of the Speaker ' s Bureau is the announcing of assemblies. These members must write their own speach of introduction and deliver it be- fore the entire student body. Both the reading of the notices and the announcing of the assem- blies takes skill and precision in the pronuncia- tion and use of words. The pupils gain invalu- able experience and poise from membership in this club.

With the exception of printing, which is done by the Free Press, all necessary writing, editing, and make-up is done by students of the three upper-classes, under the excellent supervision of Mr. Conn. The business staff, with Mr. Battles as advisor, handles advertising and circulation. The editorial staff has aimed to better the make-up and general appearance of the news- paper. For example, a new policy of center- ing all headlines and improving placement of cuts was initiated this year. The IMPRINT Dance Committee, headed Trot on October 30, 1953. The group was by Francis Neelon, planned the Trick or Treat ably assisted by Miss Westervelt. President: Donna Wiseman Vice President: Russell Pope Secretary: Judith Culver Corresponding Secretary: Ncmcy-Sue Riley Treasurer: Beverly Stevenson Press Correspondent: Eleanor Tringali The Masque and Wig Society, under the capable leadership of Miss Kathryn Garden, had a successful and interesting year. The amusing comedy, Dear Ruth was pesented December 12 with Seniors: Jane Bean, Paula Cross, Ernest Hovey, Nancy Kenneson, William McCarthy, Russell Pope, Grace Smith and Sid- ney Smith in leading roles. A large membership of twenty-three Juniors and thirty Seniors actively participated in varied programs. They included talks by Mr. James G. Holmes, play director, and Mr. Robert Cathcart, 1953 graduate and Freshman Presi- dent of Emerson College. Another stage pres- entation for the school was given at a May as- sembly.

The programs are varied in character: out- side speakers explain the alcohol problem from the point of view of a doctor, a coach, a minis- ter, a law enforcement officer and a teacher; panel discussions followed by questions from the floor and movies. cdlL el on t It Each year the Melrose post sends a dele- gation to the International Allied Youth Con- ference at Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania. Here new inspiration and novel ideas for future meetings are acquired. In December Allied Youth held a party at the Y.M.C.A., where all the facilities for a fun night were enjoyed by a large group of Melrose High students. President: Jo-Ellen Lowe Vice President: Carolyn Stollatis Secretary: Judy Culver Treasurer: Hope Coish Corresponding Secretary: Ann Richie Advisor: Mr. George A. McPheters Girls ' Club, the most active club in the school, has again completed a most outstand- ing year under the guidance of Mac,” the club ' s advisor and founder. Under the leadship of Diane Beers, chair- man, the Program Committee presented the club with over twenty-five nights of fine, enter- taining, and inspirational meetings. Outstand- ing among these were the annual food auction, Mrs. Arthur Snow, a cake decorating demon- stration, Professor Wright of Essex Agricultural School on Christmas decorations, and the an- nual talent show. At Thanksgiving, the club, under the direc- tion of the Welfare Committee, sent food bas- kets to fourteen needy Melrose families. As another part of its program the Committee help- ed a deserving Melrose family at Christmas, and throughout the year contributed to many charitable organizations. The Welfare Commit- tee was greatly helped financially by the sale of ribbon candy by Club members. Throughout the year the girls carried out the high ideals which are given in the purpose of the club. Honor Society has been an active club at Melrose High School for eight years. Each year there are two inductions, one in October and the other in February. This year fifty-nine new candidates were inducted. Eligibility for membership is based on the second quarter and fourth quarter marks of the junior and senior years. Each member upon induction receives a gold M , symbol of the society. Honor Society is the only club in the school in wh ich membership is dependent upon scholarship. Its purpose is to give destinction to those pupils who maintain both high scho- larship and high social and ethical ideals. 1 c Society Oiiicers: President: Vice-President Secretary: Treasurer: Program Chairman: Induction Team: Advisors: First Semester Donald Bergman Joyce Wilder Judy Culver Francis Neelon Mary Edwards Priscilla Carney Louise Murray Miss Ring Miss Kershaw Second Semester Donald Bergman Scott Palmer Susan Dolber Diane Beers C tchestta The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Withington, has had a very successful year. The group of twenty talented players improved noticeably as the school year progressed. The members of the orchestra displayed their talents while accompanying the operetta The Only Girl, by Victor Herbert, which was such a success this year. The orchestra also participated in the an- nual Music Night Concert held on April 30. Although this was only the second year that the orchestra has been functioning after a lapse of several years, it gave several fine per- formances and is looking forward to even more success in the future. President: Gunnar Wikstrom Secretaries: Alice Swetland, Florence Oakes Librarians: Neil Ball, James McDonald Manager: Brad Hutchinson Under the leadership of Mr. Robert Dargie the band had an extremely successful season. As usual, the band performed between the halves of all the football games. The drum majorettes, led by Patricia Phalen, added style and color to the band ' s performances. This year, for the first time, the band spon- sored an evening show at the ' High School. The Melrose High School Band entertained the East Providence High School Band, with whom they gave a joint concert with varied types of music. The band marched, as usual, in the Mem- orial Day Parade and also took part in the North Eastern Music Festival at Lexington. At the Music Festival, the band received an excel- lent rating. At Music Night and Graduation, the fifty- piece band demonstrated great improvement ant after a year ' s hard work; thus finishing a not- able season under the direction of its new lead- er. yPLi etn President: Catherine Badessa Vice President: Claire Bagenstose Secretary: Florence Rossano Treasurer: Ann Johnson For the past few years, the Modem Dcmce Club has been supervised by Mrs. McConnell. Each year, they do their different numbers for the Parent Teachers Association, Music Night, one school assembly and attend the Newton Symosium. This year, the club was divided into five groups, each girl in three different groups. They met on seperate S periods to decide upon their own music and compose their own original dance. Each year they have been invited to New- ton, along with other schools, to receive a lesson from some known modern dancer. The Junior Red Cross, under the direction of Miss Flora Lutz, had a busy year, starting off with the election of officers. Eleanor Leighton was elected president; Nancy Cambell, vice- president; and Nancy Scott, seceretary-treasur- er. In October was held the annual member- ship drive. Seventeen homerooms turned in reports of 100 per cent membership. ' UHLC t fZd c CtJ, Near the end of October, the girls in the club made Hallowe ' en placemats for the veter- ans party at Bedford Hospital. The first of November, the Christmas drive for Caney Creek, a mountain settlement in Kentucky was started. After our gifts Were shipped there in early December, a group of our girls began working on Christmas placemats, also to be sent to the Bedford Hospital. Another activity was that of forming a com- mittee to make scrapbooks to be sent to the hos- pital at Bedford, for the enjoyment of these pat- ients, who depend on organizations like ours to provide them with a few of the extras that make their days more tolerable. Under the direction of our instructor, Mr. Stanewick, improvement was developed in al- most every member. Several perfect scores of 100 have been shot this year. The varsity team has had an exceptionally good record. They raised their rating in the NRA national postal matches, shot every month, to become the eleventh place team in the country. Also, so far they are undefeated in their shoulder to shoulder matches. Their schedule includes contests with Waltham, Watertown, Malden, and New Bedford. A perfect record this year is the goal of the M. H. S. team. The purpose of the rifle club is three-fold: it teaches a boy to respect a rifle; it prepares him for the proper use of the rifle if the time comes when he must defend himself and his country; and it develops a sound, healthy sport which one can enjoy now and in his later years. President: Larry Lottridge Vice President: Donald Tanner Secretary: Allen MacDonald Treasurer: David Tyler Executive Officer: Richard Sawtelle Cu ' it is , President: Joan Manning Vice President: Sue Dolber Secretary: Maureen O ' Connell Treasurer: Mary Ellen Robbins Executive Officer: Janet Norton Under the direction of Mr. Willard J. Stane- wick, the Girls ' Rifle Club started a very suc- cessful year. Entering the National Rifle Asso- ciation Tournament, which consists of four matches from November to February, the Girls ' Rifle Team placed sixth in the country. The girls plan to shoot matches with Malden, Win- chester, Newton, and various ' other schools throughout the state. To receive a letter in the Club, a girl must have one of the top five scores in five matches. To be considered one of the top five this year, a girl must hit ninety-six or better out of a pos- sible 100, due to the fact that many of the girls are shooting in the ninety-eights. fotooe Si tat i 1 Cu President: Bernadette Babcock, Marjorie Wills Vice Presidents: Constance Emery, Judith Sheridan Secretaries: Beverly Doucette, Angelina DiMauro Treasurers: Angelina DiMauro, Marilyn Beauregard The fourth year of the Library Club got un- derway in October of 1953. The Club this year consisted of eleven members representing each class in the High School. The main purpose of the club was to help the librarian, and to show the students how the books and the library should be used. This year ' s program consisted mainly of helping Mrs. Rose stamp books and put them away, both in the morning before school and in the afternoon at 2:30. Members also helped Mrs. Rose in their free periods. A party was held at Christmas time. Also, a trip to a museum was taken at the end of the year. Since this is the first year the majorettes have appeared in the Log alone, it is in order that you be brought up to date with their activi- ties. The first thing to be done this year was to hold a try-out for the posiiion of head majorette. Pat Phalen was chosen to fill that position. Following that came the try-outs held to choose three girls to join the squad as substi- tutes. Barbara Brodrick, Maureen Casey and Norma Haywood (none of whom are shown in the picture) were chosen on their marching and twirling ability. They were added to the regu- lar squad of Janet Wadland, Cathy Badessa, Florence Rossano, Carol Tobey and Jean Crocker. Four of the seven girls will be in the gradu- ating class this year. They are Janet, Cathy, Florence and Pat. The first exhibition given by the girls took place at the season ' s first football rally. Follow- ing that, they could be found at all the football games, entertaining the fans with their twirling, and marching at the half-time shows given by the band. ’turn Captain: Ann Johnson Faculty Adviser: Mr. McPheters The cheerleaders of 1954 were fortunate to have an excellent football and hockey season. They kept up the spirit of the student body ail year. The spirit of the cheerleaders was keDt up not only by the success of the teams, but al- so because of the fact that they were given new uniforms. The captain, Ann Johnson, had an accident during the first football game of the season. Because of this, she was unable to cheer for the remainder of the year, but she still did a good job of advising and instructing the squad. There were six members that graduated this year, and during the spring these vacancies were competed for by sophomore and junior girls. Those on the squad for this year included - Captain: Ann Johnson, Andrea Carrier, Joyce Carter, Carolyn Cummings, Louise DiPietrc, Midge Fitzpatrick, Jackie Kehoe, Sara Lehman, Jo-Ellen Lowe, Pat Milano, Ellen Waybright, and Beverly Wettergreen. a eet leal ets JUNIOR President — Francis Malone Vice-President — Scott Palmer Secretary — Patricia Milano Treasurer — Madelyn Fitzpatrick Lee tA SOPHOMORE President — Arthur Anderson Vice-President — Ronald Alley Secretary — Paula Melanson Treasurer — Ruth Stuart The Current Events Club, open to all stu- dents of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes, met every Friday under the guidance of Mr. Hildreth. The club, a discussion group, has no formal organization. The members talk over current news and topics brought up by Mr. Hildreth or the members themselves. The ex- perience gained in the Current Events Club in thinking through and seeing as many sides of a problem as possible should stand the mem- bers in good stead in future years. =2 President: William McCarthy Vice President: Nancy Sue Riley Advisor: Miss N. Y. Miche C U cL ZCll Formed for the purpose of furthering a knowledge of French, the Club is carried on entirely in French. Many different activities are carried on by the French Club, such as: debates, spelling bees, word games. At differ- ent times of the year, French records and slides were shown. At Christmas time a party was held and presents were exchanged with French verses on them. The culmination of the year ' s work took place at a beach party in the latter part of May. ‘A ■-« • In the new year we continued our busy schedule. On February 9, 1954, we sang for Guild Guest Night at the First Congregational Church. For our operetta, we tried a new ven- ture, a musical comedy, The Only Girl, by Victor Herbert. The cast included Nancy Ken- neson, Claire Young, Sidney Smith, Marcia Gillespie, Nancy-Sue Riley, Sally Ward, Joyce Watson, Gladys Savage, Joyce Wilder, Carol Washburn, Priscilla Hoyt, Regina Abbiati, William McCarthy, Donald Gerry, Jack Kelly, and Larry Lottridge. Officers President: Nancy Kenneson Secretary: Claire Young Treasurer: Donna Wiseman The Glee Club ' s active year started with a Thanksgiving program. December was the month for Christmas concerts and we sang at the Mothers ' Club at the First Congregational Church, the Melrose Rotary Club, and our own Christmas Vesper Service, which was enthusi- astically received by a capacity audience. The All State Concert at the Massachusetts Music Educators Association Conference, held at Worcester was attended by representatives of the club on April 10th. On April 30 during the Annual Music Night, the club presented an appealing, varied program in conjunction with the Modern Dance Club, Band, and Orchestra. The years scheduled activities were brought to a close by the club ' s appearance at the Northeastern Massachusetts Music Festival in Lexington. On April 3, we sang for the Wy- oming Lodge and April 29, for the Past Com- manders ' of the America Legion. President: Carl Gylfphe Vice President: Edward O ' Dowd Secretary: Richard Johnson Sponsor: Iver Laine The Operators ' Club is responsible for set- ting up and running all ol the audio-visual equipment in the High School. They showed 250 different motion pictures to some 700 class groups last year. They transported record players, tape recorders, screens, spotlights, filmstrip projectors, microphones, dark curtains, and slide projectors to all parts of the building countless number of times. Furthermore, they helped to keep this equipment clean, well-oiled, and in good working order. Their service to the school has been noteworthy. The teachers certainly appreciate the fine service this club has provided. The club is composed of about 30 boys from the four classes. Their work is performed during study periods. At the beginning of the year, new members are instructed in the opera- tion and care of the equipment. When they pass certain written and manual tests, they are eligible to license cards. eta to ts ATHLETICS Coach: Doc Clark Co-Captain: Bob Dias, Pete Cobleigh This past season the cross country team once again added to the laurels of their coach by going undefeated the regular season, win- ning the Divisional Race held at Melrose. After this seemingly fine showing, the squad was disappointed in the League and state meets. After losing by one point to Wakefield in the Middlesex League run, the harriers were set back by Boston English in the State Meet. Due to a poorly supervised race on the part of various officials, the majority of pace setting Melrose men were led off the standard course. This resulted in the losing of a race in which Melrose should have retained the State Champ- ionship. Some of the outstanding graduating senior runners on this year ' s squad were Bob Dias, Pete Cobleigh, Charley Logue, Dave Hjerpe, Lenny Wallace, Bill McCarthy, Bob Clark and Larry Lottridge. Once again the Junior Varsity went un- defeated, winning the Division and League Championships. With many returning hopefuls under the supervision of a great coach, the cross-country squad should once again finish on top. Co-Captain: Edward Shimmin and Jack Kelley Coaches: Joseph Austin, John Walsh and Foster Flint Manager: Robert Walsh The football squad had a very successful season this year under their new coach Joseph Austin. They won the first three games from Stoneham, Malden, and Milton; then dropped a close decision to Winchester. After a bad loss to Wakefield they were able to bounce back and be the only team to stop Gloucester ' s Al 1 Scholastic, Frank Destino, from scoring. Win- ning their Thanksgiving Day game after a loss to Concord made their season of five wins and three losses, the best in many years. Throughout the season the members of the class of ' 54 were well represented. Gittes was the only back, but Shimmin, Currier, Lucci, Kel- ley, and Waitt were starters in the line. Mc- Carthy, Scammon, Marshall, and Wallace did a good job substituting where needed. This year the team has put Melrose High back into the winning column. If the future teams have as much desire as this team, Mel- rose will be back among the football greats. Very little is known about the track team before our Log goes to press. However, with the tracksters once more under the able direc- tion of Mr. Foster Flint, the squad should wind up on top of the league. There are many de- ciding factors why this 1954 club will make a successful display of themselves: the return of many outstanding veterans, a large turnout of potentialities, the representation of many cross- country and indoor track runners, and last but not least, the fact that the entire squad has been training hard. Melrose will have dual meets with Woburn, Winthrop, Concord, Winchester, Reading, Lex- ington, and Peabody followed the State Relays at Belmont, Squad meet at Winchester, and the State Meet at White Stadium, Franklin Park. This year the Melrose High baseball team is under the direction of a new coach, Mr. Jack Walsh. As the season had not started when the bog went o press, there is nothing certain about the coming season, but we are sure it will be a success. This year the Hockey team had a fairly good season, with six wins, two losses and one tie. The big game of the season was the Bel- mont game which M. H. S. won 2 - 0 The team as a whole, was well balanced, and the spirit of the team was very good. Congratulations go to Lou Scarpa, and Joe Jangro, for making the G. B. I. all stars, and to Dave Kelley and Charles Garniss for getting honorable mention. Coach: Henry Hughes Captain: Charles Garniss A cclei Captain: Dan Miller Managers: Russell Pope and Ted Hovey Coach: Joseph Austin Through the new tactics and plays of Coach Austin the team proved their ability in very good games. Due to the Team ' s excellent playing, more students went to these games and more spirit was shown than in the past. As the season went on the games became bet- ter and better. The 1953 - 54 basketball season for Melrose was spurted on by the high scores of the star center, Scott Palmer. Although he was only a junior, he was the high scorer for the home team. The varsity team was made up of th following seniors: Dave Currier, Don LeSaffre, Dan Miller, Bob Scammon, and Dick Waitt. They were all returning lettermen except Dave Currier. The juniors were Ed Gervais, Chuck Goldsmith, Ernie Gulla, Sonny Malone,, Sonny McKenney, Scott Palmer, and Bill Solari. The last game of the first half produced the first win for the Melrose quintet. It was in this game that Palmer ' s twenty-six points and Le- Saffre ' s nineteen points helped lead the club to r asletlall their first victory in two years. In the second half of the season floor man Dan Miller led the club to two more victories against Concord and Reading. The season ended with the team making a trip to Clinton, Connecticut to play there. This year, as usual, the Golf team expects to have a top season. Coach Wilson and his boys even have eyes on the State Champion- ship. Last year the team was handicapped be- cause almost all the members were experienc- ing their first year on the squad. MHS seems to have everything in favor of a winning team. Only one member of the squad graduated last year. Led by Larry Lot- tridge as captain, and with veterans Logue, Gerry, Stanford, Kiley and Mac Neil showing their skill, the team is destined to come out on top. The Melrose team is a member of the Mid- dlesex League which is divided into three divi- sions. The local division includes Melrose. Reading, Winchester, Concord, and Wakefield. The divisional champs compete for the league title, and the victorious team is then entered in the state tournament. Captain: Winthrop Hall Coach: Richard Hildreth 7 7 eiuti.i The 1953-54 tennis team had as its captain and best player, Winthrop Hall, a junior. Most of the team consisted of juniors, with only two seniors, Russell Pope and Ted Hovey. Among the underclassmen on the team were Winthrop Hall, Peter Dwyer, Gordon Lane, Richard Gross, William Roth well, Kent Perry, John Curtis, Max Lewerenz, Paul Burke, Ed- ward White, Thomas Neville, and Donald Mac- Keil. Some of the teams against which Melrose played were Malden, Beverly, Belmont, Win- throp, Waltham, Rindge Tech, and Cambridge Latin. i it l a cz J th let 1 1 AAPCLtitiPll The Girls ' Athletic Association of Melrose High School is a council which discusses and solves problems concerning girls ' sports. The Council also undertakes certain projects during the school year. Four officers, president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer plus the managers of the softball, basketball, tennis, and field hockey teams and a representative of each class comprise the Girls ' Athletic Association. Mrs. Allen, one of the two physical education teachers for girls, is the advisor. The officers this year are President, Conna Stollatis, a senior; Secretary, Joyce Norton, a sophomore; and Treasurer, Carolyn Smith, a senior. These girls with the other members of the council organized the first girls ' bowling team of Melrose High School. During one of the mid-year vacations, the council arranged to have -a group see the Globe Trotters play the Boston Celtics. A girls basketball game be- tween last years team and this years was also scheduled as, another sports event organized by the council. The annual basketball game be- tween the boys and girls was also under the direction of the council. Coach: Mrs. Allen Manager: Joan Bampton Co-Captains: Trudy Staples and Andrea Carrier The girls ' after diligent work and practice, had a very successful season. Out of seven games with local teams they had three losses, three ties, and one win. The girls went to a field day at Concord and came home victorious, beating Hanover and tying Winchester and Concord Academy. The most exciting and out- standing game, however, was with Malden. After the boys beat Malden in football the girls went right along with them and won both the Junior Varsity and Varsity games. High scor- ers for the Varsity were Betsy Brooke and Rita Staples. Susan Garniss was high scorer for the Junior Varsity. The seniors that sparked the team this year playing forward line were Betsy Brooke and Jayne Thompson. Playing excel- lent defense were Sue Dolber, Bernice Hefford, Trudy Staples, Eleanor Tringali, and Conna Stollatis. c JieLl J-lcch Under the auspices of Mrs. Jean Allen, both the Varsity and Junior Varsity progressed very well during the 1953 - 1954 season. The high lighters of the team were varsity forwards Martha Rand, Gail MacAfee, and Sue Dolber; varsity guards Andrea Carrier, Priscil- la Carney, and Trudy Staples. The JV Girls seemed nearly as capable as the varsity, and should be able to carry on very well during the 1954 - 1955 season. Leading their ranks were Captain Spear, Linda Robbins, Susan Stockbrige, Beverly Stevenson, and Sal- ly-Ann Ward. The girls showed dennite improvement on the playing of each game. Under the wonderful guidance of Coach Allen, the Girls ' Basketball Team had an exciting and successful! season. Coach: Mrs. Jean Allen Manager: Elaine Kenney Captains: Varsity: Gail MacAfee Junior Varsity: Nancy Spear Coach: Mrs. Allen Manager: Eleanor Hutchinson Assistant Manager: June Botte The 1954 Girls ' Softball team was com- posed of many veterans from last year ' s team. A good combination of Grace Johnson at pitcher, Sue Dolber at catcher, Andy Carrier at first base, Joan Bampton at second, and Bunny McKenna as relief pitcher gave us a strong in- field. While seniors Conna Stollatis, Astrid Erickson, Trudy Staples, and Mary Jane Shel- don formed a proficient outfield. The team played Arlington, Belmont, Win- chester, Newton, Lexington, Malden and Con- cord during the season. Coach: Mrs. McConnell Managers: Sally-Ann Ward, Marion Rogers The Girls ' Tennis Team of 1954 saw the re- turn of several members from the previous year. They were: Janet Brison, Merle Forgey, Bernice Hefford, Gwen Hess, Peppy Hoyt, Lou- ise Murray, Sue Stockbridge and Sally-Ann Ward. The new-Comers to the team were: Barbara Dowd, Betty Hyndman, Faith Meade, Pauline Swetland, and Susan Wallace. On the whole we had a fairly successful season and played the following schools: Ar- lington, Belmont, Concord, Lexington, Malden, Newton, and Winchester.
