MALONE Welcome to our Class Day exercises. The end of four profitable and memorable years at Melrose High School has come abruptly. We, the Class of 1955, cannot possibly express all our gratitude and appreciation for the knowledge and friendship we have gained during our stay here at Melrose. In whatever the future may hold for us, we will realize even more, the value of an enriched education. But today is a day of fun and enjoyment, and we joyously invite you to enter with us in the procedures of our Class Day. in the 1955 Peter D. Fuller A famous writer once said that reformers often find their hardest tasks taken out of their hands by Time. In school, we may say that our teachers play the role of reformers. Surely, when our teachers looked over this class as a motley lot of Freshmen, they must have gone home and prayed for much help from Time. We were approximately 270 strong, when we entered Melrose High School. I say strong, though many of us were feeling timid and weak in the face of this great new experience. We were, in the last analysis, just freshmen, timid and terrified, but none the less eager. The first few weeks proved to be one of the most difficult periods of adjustment we had yet encountered. We were constantly consulting our program cards to make sure we were taking the right lunch or going to the proper class. Upperclassmen were greatly amused as we walked up and down the corridors, trying desperately to find the right classrooms. And to think we had only three minutes in which to journey all the way from the first floor to the fourth. Yes, we were gullible too, but after several days most of us found out that there wasn ' t any elevator and you couldn ' t take two lunches even if you were hungry. Many boys in Doc Clark ' s gym class, however, found out that the upperclassmen weren ' t kidding when they told us about the famed Five Finger Club. Yet, it was not very long before we became accustomed to our new life and the responsibilities which it brought forth. Our teachers showed a deep understanding of our problems and stood ready to guide us whenever possible. Shortly after our arrival, there was a summons that called all hale and hearty young men to the football field. For years now we had watched the Red Raiders in action and now it was to be our turn. Sonny Malone, Ernie Gulla, loe Cerretani, Sheldon Jones, Gene Sanford, Dave Maclnnis, Vic Amirault, and Joe Jangro showed great potentional power as a future team. There was one member of the freshmen squad who proved to be out- standing. That was Joe Cerretani. Joe moved up to the varsity team where he looked very impressive as a ball carrier and defensive man. Louie Scarpa was another freshman who showed he had the talent to make a varsity squad. Louie proved invaluable to the hockey team with his excellent skating and all-out hustle. The freshmen pucksters did not achieve a great record, but it was plain to see that with a few years ' experience they would develop into a team to be proud of. Dave Maclnnis, Joe Jangro, A1 Gerrish, Dick Fogarty, Charlie Belcher, Dave Powers, Jim Buchert, Dave Kelley, and Ted Cathcart were all members of this squad. The girls were to have their opportunities in athletics too. Andrea Carrier, Joan Preece, Sue Stockbridge, Midge Fitzpatrick, and Janet McMullin rep- resented our class in either field hockey or basketball. Many of us joined the clubs and organizations that were open to freshmen. There we had the opportunity to meet. Gradually as we worked together in such activities as these, we became conscious of our growing unity as a class. Among the outside activities that we participated in were The Imprint Dance, our first high school dance, The Winter Ball, Christmas Vespers, Masque and Wig, and the Operetta. March was an eventful month for us. The Cloak and Plume Society under the direction of Miss Margaret Brown staged Over Night Guests, a humorous adventure about the Sloan family. Regina Abbiatti, Beverly Wettergreen, Sally Steele, and Beverly Stevenson gathered the honors for the class and showed talent that would appear in many later productions. In his weekly broadcast in March of our freshman year Drew Pearson congratulated Melrose High School on the compositions written by Eugene Sanford, Joe Cerretani, and Richard Johnson. These papers were messages to the children of Russia, telling them about our democracy and the American way of life. We had watched Student Government develop in Melrose and antici- pated the time when we could share in it. This came with the election of Student Council Representatives in the spring. We elected Sheldon Jones and Bruce MacCabe ,as our representatives. When The Imprint selected its new staff members, Janet McMullin, Martin Hackendorf, Betty Hyndman, Lucy Jackson, Willard Moran, and Dorothy Sibley joined its staff of competent reporters. The spring productions of Cloak and Plume were a group of one-act plays. In one. The Spider ' s Web, Regina Abbiati was starred. In another, Elmer and the Love Bug, the following members of the class had prominent parts: Beverly Wettergreen, Nancy Trites, Kay Wilson, Sally Steele, and Katherine Allen. On t he baseball field, two freshmen, John Rizzo and Joe Cerretani, showed Coach Gavin that they had the makings of varsity pitchers. Both boys helped greatly in the pitching department. Jim Buchert, Dick Fogarty, Dave Powers, Joe Jangro, Dave Kelley, Lou Scarpa, and John MacAdams all played good baseball as the J.V. team went on to a very successful season. As we began our second year in the fall of 1952, we felt entitled to entertain a slight feeling of superiority. We were sophomores, real sopho- mores, with a distinctly sophomoric sense of knowing all there was to know about everything. The first order of business in the school year was the election of upper- class officers. The sophomore class elected Ernest Gulla, president; Dave Maclnnis, vice-president; Beverly Wettergreen, treasurer; and Pat Milano as secretary. Betty Hyndman and Joe Cerretani were selected as Student Council Representatives. Football was in full swing now , and we had great expectations for a very successful season. Our hopes were short lived, however, as we had only one chance to celebrate. This came with a 10-7 victory over our traditional Turkey Day rival, Arlington. Joe Cerretani led the offensive attack as Ernie Gulla played an all-out line game. Joe was named captain of the Boston All-Scholastic Team. He was the first sophomore ever to receive this honor. Ernie Gulla and Dave Maclnnis rece,ved honorable mention for their fine play during the entire season. In the winter sports, our class had Joe Jangro, Louie Scarpa, and Dave Kelley on the hockey varsity line. In basketball, we were providing the makings of the future varsity in Ed Gervais, Scott Palmer, Sonny Malone, Dick Fogarty, and Chuck Goldsmith who scored three J.V. victories under the coaching of Mr. Hoyle. Looking a moment away from the sports scene, we find that many sophomores had been selected to join the fine Glee Club. They made several visits within the vicinity of Melrose entertaining various community groups. The club finished a most successful season by presenting Victor Herbert ' s operetta Sweethearts. The Cloak and Plume Society continued to put on its usual fine plays. High Jinks at Hollister Hall was the first play it presented. These girls all had prominent parts: Beverly Wettergreen, Regina Abbiati, Nancy Trites, Kay Wilson, and Sandra Burnett. Several months later Cloak and Plume pre- sented an evening performance of High School Daze, starring Nancy Pike and George Garland. This was followed by The Haunted Tea Room, with Beverly Wettergreen in the leading role. Spring arrived and with it the baseball and track season. On the ball diamond, John Rizzo and Joe Cerretani continued to impress Coach Gavin on the mound. Jim Ferriman, Neil Ball, Scott Palmer, and Sheldon Jones were applying themselves to learning the fine points of track and field techniques out on the cinder track. The tennis team, playing an eleven-game schedule, was strengthened by Peter Dwyer, Winthrop Hall, John Curtis, and Robert MacKeil. Two sophomore girls, Grace Johnson and Andrea Carrier, showed their prowess on the softball team. Grace proved to be an excellent pitcher and Andrea a fine first baseman. April and May are also the months when many of our hopeful young ladies were putting their minds on learning cheers. They spent hours pre- paring themselves for the long awaited try-outs. Joyce Carter, Andrea Carrier, Madelyn Fitzpatrick, Ellen Waybright, Beverly Wettergreen, and Pat Milano were chosen to join the squad for the coming year. Before closing the books for this year, we should mention that Judy Gardner and Stephanie Binden were selected to join The Imprint. We began the new year, our junior year, by electing our class officers. Sonny Malone was elected president; Scott Palmer, vice-president; Madelyn Fitzpatrick, treasurer; and Pat Milano, secretary. Andrea Carrier and Beverly Wettergreen were our Student Council Representatives. We had a new football coach this year and a new spirit that resulted in a record of five wins and three losses. Coach Austin selected many juniors in building his team. In the line we had Sheldon Jones, Ernie Gulla, A1 Carrier, and Eugene Sanford. The backfield was made up of Joe Cerretani, Sonny Malone, Dave Maclnnis, and Joe Jangro. At the end of the season, the team elected Joe Cerretani and Ernie Gulla as co-captains. The basketball squad was able to win three games. The Red Guintet was sparked by Scott Palmer, Ed Gervais, Sonny Malone, Dick Fogarty, and Charlie Belcher. This team showed a marked improvement. Their experi- ence was beginning to pay off. In hockey, Louis Scarpa, Dave Kelley, and Joe Jangro made up a fast line that helped the pucksters finish in third place in the G. B. I. Dave Maclnnis was a stand-out on defense. Maclnnis and Scarpa were chosen to lead the team in the 54-55 season. Girls ' basketball found Sue Stockbridge, Beverly Stevenson, Stephanie Binden, Merle Forgey, and Andrea Carrier representing the juniors on the court. The Masque and Wig Society, our upperclass dramatic organization, presented Dear Ruth. Regina Abbiati and Scott Palmer had leading roles in this very humorous comedy. In the early part of December, we had Salome Risk as the main speaker at one of our assemblies. We were so moved by his dramatic stories of the hardships of people in war-tom countries that we decided to sponsor a Korean child. In April, the Student Council heard from the Save the Children Foundation. Our sponsored child was an eight year old boy named Tae Kun Chung. The Glee Club chose as its operetta, Victor Herbert ' s The Only Girl. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Wendell Withington, the musical proved to be a great success. Regina Abbiati and Donald Gerry were among those in the leading roles. During the spring vacation, many members of our class journeyed to Washington, where they got a first-hand picture of the operation of our government. Many historical sights were visited such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, and others. When the baseball season arrived, veteran John Rizzo returned to take over his old position on the squad. With John there were other juniors. Jim Buchert, Joe Jangro, Steve Johnson, and Dave Powers landed positions on the varsity nine. We were also proud of two other juniors, who had done exceptionally well in the State Track Meet. Jim Ferriman and Eddie O ' Dowd both captured places. The high-light of our junior year was our Prom. A committee of Joyce Carter, Ted Cathcart, Ed Gervais, Judy Gardner, Sheldon Jones, Pat Hynes, Dave Maclnnis, and the class officers made all the necessary preparations. The theme of the dance was Rhapsody in Blue. As is customary here at Melrose High School, it becomes the duty of the members of the junior class to take over the positions of the graduating seniors in several activities. In Girls ' Club, Betty Hyndman was selected as president; Joyce Carter bfecame vice-president; Beverly Stevenson, secretary; Nancy Donovan, treasurer; and Merle Forgey, corresponding secretary. The Imprint was also given over to the supervision of Betty Hyndman. On her staff was: Managing Editor, Martin Hackendorf; Feature Editor, Judy Gardner; News Editor, Carol Starbard; Boys ' Sports Editor, Peter Fuller; Girls ' Sports Editor, Stephanie Binden; Copy Editor, Dorothy Sibley; Exchange Editor, Scott Palmer; Art Editor, Susan Rhodes. Two more girls were chosen to join the cheerleading squad. They were Judy Gardner and Carolyn Newman. Joyce Carter was named as the captain for the 54-55 season. Sheldon Jones and Winthrop Hall were chosen by the faculty to attend the Boys ' State Conference. Two years ago their brothers were the delegates. Beverly Wettergreen was selected to attend Girls ' State at Bridgewater. When the fall of 1954 arrived, we returned to M. H. S. as seniors. Yes, we had finally attained that long awaited honor. Class elections were in order, and we chose Sonny Malone as president; Dave Maclnnis, vice-presi- dent; Andrea Carrier, treasurer; and Pat Milano, Secretary. Scott Palmer and Madelyn Fitzpatrick were chosen as the Student Council Representatives. Our era of athletic recovery reached its peak as the football squad compiled a record of six wins and three losses. Led by co-captains Joe Cerretani and Ernie Gulla the Red Raiders once again reached the position that they had commanded years ago. We owe this success to Joe Cerretani, Ernie Gulla, Sonny Malone, Dave Maclnnis, Joe Jangro, Scott Palmer, Eugene Sanford, A1 Carrier, Walter McNeil, Ed Gervais, Dave Kelley, Sheldon Jones, John Rizzo, and also to the excellent coaching of Mr. Austin. The basketball team, captained by Ed Gervais and Scott Palmer, had its best season since 1951. The team was composed of Ed Gervais, Scott Palmer, Dick Fogarty, Sonny Malone, Charlie Belcher, and Eddie O ' Dowd. They won seven and lost seven. In a post-season game the Red Quintet beat Clinton, Connecticut. In the Bay State Tournament the team was eliminated in the first round of play. The hockey team lived up to pre-season expectations by finishing in second place one game behind Belmont. The West Point Plebes and Dart- mouth Freshman fell to defeat at the hands of a fast Raider line made up of Kelley, Jangro and Scarpa with Dave Maclnnis a stellar defenseman. In the Met Tourney, the team suffered a bitter defeat at the hands of our nemesis, Winchester, after a hard fought, sea-saw battle. As its winter play, Masque and Wig presented Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, starring Regina Abbiati, Beverly Wettergreen, Bruce MacCabe, Jim Ferriman, Ronnie Young, Merle Forgey, and Peter Dwyer. This year ' s Log was under the direction of Peter Fuller as Editor-in-Chief. On the literary staff were Ted Cathcart, Ftichard Fogarty, Judy Gardner, Allan Gerrish, Steve Johnson, and Beverly Wettergreen. The Business Manager was Bruce MacCabe. On his staff were Cynthia Bailey, Thomas Eastman, Merle Forgey, Edward Gervais, Joe Jangro and Scott Palmer. The Art Editor was Virginia Lord, assisted by a staff of Marilyn Dubrofsky, Theo- dore Johnson, Kent Perry, Janice Powers, and Susan Rhodes. Nancy Pike was chosen, by the faculty, as the D.A.R. girl. Scott Palmer was elected to be our Student Government Day Representative. The Glee Club under the direction of a new music director enjoyed a very successful season of concerts. As its operetta, the club chose The Mikado. In the leading roles were Don Gerry, Peppy Hoyt, John Curtis, Danny Simonds, Bill Sweet, Bruce MacCabe and Andrea Carrier. Four years, which once seemed so long to us, have come to a close ail too soon. We are now ready to take the big step forward — either work or higher education. Whatever our choice may be we will always be grateful to our teachers and principal for affording us a firm foundation of learning. No longer will we be able to enjoy the many pleasures of our days at M. H. S., but in the years to come we will look back with many fond remembrances on this period as one of- the happiest times of our lives. z tatL tic the la 44 a 1955 Beverly Wettergreen Greetings and salutations from the Class of ' 55! I stand before you today, ready and anxious to reveal the long awaited names on our 1955 Hit Parade of Stars. Topping the list is the most illustrious heavenly body of all — Mr. or Miss Average Student — a perfect specimen of the 1955 graduater. He stands 5 feet 6 inches, tips the scales at 135 pounds, and wears a size seven and V 2 shoe. A picture of him in utter bliss would be as follows: A stick of spearmint gum in his mouth and a bottle of coke in his hand as he watched a basketball game, studied history, or danced with his favorite blond dressed in blue. If she had a rose in her hair I am sure our Mr. Average student would consider his seventeen years quite complete. Next on the list of outstanding stars should certainly be our Most Popular Boy and Girl. Both have proven worthy of their titles by their friendly way of brightening up the corridors of M. H. S. They have also participated in many activities, and have shown excellent leadership abilities as they held their class offices with much humility, yet with a great deal of accomplishment. Take a bow, PAT MILANO and SONNY MALONE. It is certain that if any one were to add sparkle to the hallways of our soon-to-be alma mater, it would be our Class Gigglers. Besides possessing contagious and eloquent laughs, they also lay claim to very pleasing per- sonalities. I ' m sure you will all agree when you meet MIDGE FITZPATRICK, and BARBARA KARNHEIM. How does my hair look? Is my lipstick on straight? Could these be the words of our Most Fastidious Girl? Yes, by all means! And she certainly has a right to be so particular, for pretty and petite JUDY GARDNER has also been chosen Best Dressed Girl. Will CHUCK GOLDSMITH please stand, for he shares honors with JUDY as being tops among the many Well-Dressed Male Members of our class. The boy and girl whom we have chosen as Most Athletic are certainly distinguished stars of today. For four years they have both played an indispensable part in sports. GRACE JOHNSON, our Most Athletic Girl, has excelled in field-hockey, basketball, and softball. Our Most Athletic Boy, JOE JANGRO is a letterman in football, hockey, and baseball. One girl among us seems to have an enviable way with the male mem- bers of the class. It seems that most of us girls just do not possess the enticing mannerisms of our Class Flirt, ELAINE deMERS. If Elaine should happen to drop a perfumed handkerchief, I am sure that one male, in particular, would pick up the scent almost immediately. Yes, it ' s SONNY McKENNEY, our Class Ladies ' Man. If you have ever attended any dances during the past four years at M. H. S., you have no doubt seen our next celebrities demonstrating excellent footwork on the dance floor. This talented pair was probably none other than our brother-sister stand-outs AL and ANDIE CARRIER — The Best Dancers. Supplying the music for A1 and Andie would be the greatest Sax player of all — our Class Swing Fan, GEORGE GARLAND. Each day at school, one ol our female class-mates arrives dressed in something new, different, and all in all looking quite attractive. This may be the reason for our selection of PAT HYNES as Most Original. A great deal of talent is exhibited by two members of our class, whose names we offer as our contribution to the bright lights in Hollywood. Both REGINA ABBIATI and BRUCE MacCABE have displayed Distinct Dramatic Abilities in their stage appearances. Another talented graduater is the girl who made this year ' s operetta such a big success. She ' is our Class Songster PEPPIE HOYT. Imprints would never have been the same without the artistic ability of our Class Artist. We all wish SUSAN RHODES success in her chosen career, although we know that her talent with a brush and palette can permit nothing but the best for her. One wouldn ' t be the same without the other. I guess you know that 1 am speaking of our Class Pals — the two girls who even seem to share the same scintillating personality — PAT MILANO and MIDGE FITZPATRICK. Involved explanations with desired results qualify CHICK CASEY as our Most Successful Bluffer. Evidently there is a possibility of undesired results. One who could probably inform us concerning the consequences is our Least Successful Bluffer, TOM LaMARCA. The bell is just about to ring. A figure in the corridor stands alone, banging ferociously on a pertinacious locker. Without a doubt, GEORGE ROGERS, the- boy who is Least Often on Time, is wishing he had some of Chick Casey ' s talents. The enviable distinction of being considered a genius goes to MARTIN HACKENDORF, who has also been voted the Most Studious member of the Class of 1955. In a class room there can usually be found two distinct personalities. The one who sits silently and attentively is dubbed class saint. The other, whose remarks are always filled with witticism, is the fun-loving class wit. We would now like you to meet our Quietest Class-Mate, JUDY NEWMARK, and the Wittiest of Wits, BRUCE MacCABE. The girl who has been voted Most Dignified is a perfect picture of dignity and poise. A sweet personality combined with a great deal of com- posure have made NANCY PIKE a friend of everyone. Other members of our class whose cheerful dispositions have gained for them many friends, are JOYCE CARTER and TIPPY CATHCART, our Best Natured Boy and Girl. An unsurpassed imagination and the incessant use of superlatives have given JOHN RIZZO the title of Class Exaggerator. Many of us wish that we had the talent to add so much color to our own stories. Speaking of adding color — We have one girl among us who is quite capable of doing just that! She is our Class Blusher, JUNE CHEEVER. There was a football player named Jim Who really was a bit thin One day while in play, He got lost in the fray And instead of the ball, They passed him. None of us are positive of this poem ' s author, but we ' d probably be correct if we guessed it to be the work of our Class Poetess, BEVERLY STEVENSON. I ' m a little bit afraid that the next couple I call upon to stand will need some assistance, for they are our Most Bashful Boy and Girl. Let ' s just get a peek if it ' s possible — PAT O ' CONNOR and JIMMY BUCHERT — do you need any help? Let ' s fake a look into the future. The Class of 1955 has two outstanding contributions to next year ' s long awaited campus life. First of all the boy whom we have chosen as Most Likely to Succeed — SCOTT PALMER, and our other important contribution that man about town — Mr. Joe Collegiate Him- self — RICHIE FOGARTY. Last on our parade of stars — and far from least — is the couple whom we have chosen as Best Looking. They are SONJA LOFGREN and DAVID CRAWFORD. In concluding the statistics for the Class of 1955, I wish to thank all of you for being such a wonderful audience. I am sure that you will agree with me when I say that our class is an outstanding one, and one which will long be remembered for its many individual accomplishments. Bruce S. McCabe One of the outstanding features of the selection of careers by the Graduat- ing Class of 1955 was the variety of jobs they took. Let us sift the sands of time to the year 1970, and regard the panorama of occupations before us. Many members of the Class of 1955 have figured prominently in the sports world. Charles Belcher helps Neil Ball broadcast the home games of Red Sox. We ight-lifter Ronald Coish and javelin-tosser Carol Beck may be seen frequently at Boston Garden watching David Powers and James Buchert perform on the ice. They clean the rink between periods. William Pitzer is employed as a jockey at Tropical Park in Florida where John MacAdams wrestles alligators. Jo Anne MacLeod ' s biggest success as female promoter for the Middlesex A. C. has been a 15-round title fight between Joseph Cerretani and Ernest Gulla for the flyweight championship of the world. John MacDonald was the referee. In another vein, Raymond Green and Richard Gould are professional golfers. I have heard reports that professional croquet-player John Sturgis is thinking of quitting this year. Of course, once a year, we see dog-show judge Sheldon Jones as his canine troupe invades the Mechanics Building for a one-night stand. Turning to the literary field, I see that John Rizzo ' s sonnet Ode to a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker was nominated for a Nobel Prize. Mary-Ann Hall ' s children books, illustrated by Kathryn Allan, are widely read among the youngsters. Two syndicated gossip columnists, Patricia O ' Connor of the Imprint and Elsie Seaman of the Free Press are covering the unveiling of Rita Antonucci ' s statue at the Lincoln School Playground next week. Incidentally, one feature of the Free Press is its continuous comic strip, Little Molly Minkowski, ' ' drawn by Theodore Cathcart. Movie editor of and foreign affairs editor of Time Magazine are Bradford Harmon and John Colclough, respectively. Otherwise, journalistically speaking, Betty Robinson is the new publisher of Reader ' s Digest; Allan Gerrish is circulation editor of the Farmer ' s Almanac; Earle Bergmann and Charles Rackliffe are proof-readers for the Boston Post, and Dawn MacKenzie is a book critic. Working in and around Greater Boston are Robert Babcock as house- detective at the Hotel Avery, where Joyce Carter works as a switch-board operator, David Bergstrom as an M. T. A. conductor, Albert Carrier and David Crawford as floorwalkers at Raymond ' s, and Annette Canole as a package- weigher at Converse Rubber. William Sweet heads the Bow and Arrow Department at Brines, where Charles Goldsmith is employed in the tinker-toy division. Occasionally, Thomas Eastman, a Brinks guard, drops into Edward Gervais ' cafe, talks to receptionist Grace Johnson, and chats with pogostick manufacturer David Burns. After a hard day behind Jordan ' s perfume counter, Constance Garrett usually heads for the Latin Quarter to hear the Harmon- ettes, reading from left to right, Barbara Berthel, Marilyn Dubrofsky, and Diana Trinchitella. Their manager, Jo Anne MacLeod is now busily booking the trio for a week at Diana Clark ' s and Beverly Cleworth ' s exclusive tea-room, located on Broadway opposite the M. T. A. station in Everett. Joseph Brennan, a cobblestone replacer for the Boston Park Department divides his time between the Melrose Public Librar y, where Emily Allison is chief librarian, and the Boston Museum of Science where Susan Allen arranges the rocks and fossils. While bill-collecting, Deborah Burrows has run into National Geographic photographer Elaine Barry; Marilyn Beauregard, a hostess at Sailor Tom ' s; 9-day bicycle rider Sandra Burnett; stenographer Madeline Bustin; cab driver Richard Casey; and parking meter installers Robert Eustace and lames Ferriman. Carol Dunbar, a hole puncher for Hickox belts, sometimes visits Frances Finigian ' s candy store or Merle Forgey ' s pizzeria. Lawyer Fred Ferguson, weather-forecaster Donald Gerry and stevedore Winthrop Hall were seen by waitress Nancy Harrower taking a tour through the Home of Aged Oxcart Drivers, conducted by George Hagberg. When Kevin Lally isn ' t running his taxidermy shop he may be found visiting state senator Robert MacDonald, or watching professional parakeet-trainer Maryann Gallagher. Turning to the field of entertainment, I noted in the newspaper that Omnibus directors Robert and June Botte are trying to sign movie star William (Heart) Burns for their next production. Jean Lauriat, featured in the realistic Italian movie Bitter Ravioli is smashing box-offices everywhere. Tattooed lady Winifred Kuster and contortionist Robert Turner are currently performing in the Barnum and Bailey sideshow. Between acts, they confess, they like nothing better than to listen to George Garland ' s arrangement of There ' s a Tavern in the Town on the Victor label. The vocalist is Lucy Jackson. Sherwood Irish, conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, tells me that he and his prize flutist, Diane Hudson, are planning to attend the premiere of Richard Johnson ' s riotous musical Pink Garters. Phyllis Isinger and Carol Jackman are the two leads. Backers for the show include Donald Martin and Walter McNeil. Elsewhere, Donald Kelley is a casting-director for Jackie Gleason; Richard Law is a press-agent for the Firehouse Five Plus Two, and Sandra Patterso n plays the ' cello during the supper hour at the Rond View Restaurant. The signing of Priscilla Hoyt to a long-term contract with Spike Jones and his orchestra is making headlines. Ballerina Joan Preece and Patricia Hynes, a model for sanforized shower caps, visited Calvin Pratt ' s Flea Circus last week, and are planning to watch flamenco-dancer George Rogers, assisted by Ruth Taylor, Paula Toomey, and Nancy Trites at Sym- phony Hall. Gordon Thorne is still producing that hilarious quiz show, Take it Or Break It, emceed by irrepressible Martin Hackendorf. Cynthia Kenney, costume designer of You Asked For It reports that Roller Derby star Ellen Waybright recently appeared on the program, Scientifically speaking, Marcia Appledorf ' s Elixer for Gastric and Pan- creatic Disorders has become internationally famous. Thom McCan selected Scott Palmer as Man of the Year after he perfected a durable foam-rubber sole for swamp-sneakers. Peter Reagan is developing a liquid mothball, while the new orlon false teeth hinges, invented by Adrith Johnson and Beverly Brewer, are revolutionizing the market. Several well-known personalities are appearing in the Wall St. Journal these days for their business activities. Among them are Andrea Carrier and Judith Newmark, stockbrokers; Claire Cummings, newly-elected president of a black-strap molasses concern, and Realtor John Chenevert. William Sigsbury ' s watch-repair shop is often visited by Joan Daffinee, a dealer in second-hand rifle sights who says that Peggy Taggart ' s hardware store is now open for business. On their recent trip to Aaska, Donald Trumbly, personnel manager of Beacon Wax, and fly-swatter salesman Ronald Young told of seeing William Lynn, field manager of Gerber ' s Baby Foods in Nome. David Cate, proprietor of Seville ' s Barber Shop and manicurist Dianne Hjerpe say that among their customers are retired safety-pin manufacturing tycoon Wallace Babcock and glass-eye salesman Donald Marnon. Several graduates have remained in Melrose to work. On an average day, bee-keeper Fred Laskey can go and have his pants pegged by Richard Fogarty, watch Barbara Robinson ' s bubble-pipe demonstrations at Genb ill ' s, visit shell-stretcher Peter Dwyer at the Melrose Meat Shop, watch Joseph Jangro painting the cages at the Stoneham Zoo, drop into Donald Trimper ' s donut shop in Franklin Square, or buy a soda from Donald Reidy at Garvey ' s. Valarie Mason, stage manager of vaudeville shows at the Melrose Theatre, says that William Harding is now the Vice President-In-Charge-of-Discarded- Crust at Dorothy Muriel ' s. Hat-designers Nancy Campbell and Winona Hay- ward drop in on Marilyn DeCoste and Susan Dull occasionally. The latter two have just opened a smokeshop adjacent to the Ell Pond bathhouse. II we dropped into the Malden Grille, where Nancy Pike works as a dish- washer, we might chat with Theodore Johnson, cover-illustrator lor the Idaho Beet-Pickers Chronicle; Nancy Dale Jones, an interpreter at the U. N.; phil- osophy professor Thomas La Marca; lobster fisherman Robert James; gym instructor Donald Means; and disc-jockey Bruce Holm. Donald Rattray, Men ' s Fashions Editor of Esquire, upon dropping in for a cup of coffee, could probably tell us that Kathleen MacKenzie is a professional hog-caller and that David McCorrison heads the department of African ceramics at Yale. Clam shell painter Richard Hammond and Roller-Coaster operator Donald Brennan report that the new proprietress of the Clam Box, Beverly Stevenson, is doing a thriving business. After attending a world-premiere at the Granada, John Curtis, headmaster at Andover Academy, says that he saw head-usher Alfred McKenney and ticket-taker Alice Mahoney handling the large crowds. Joan Mello ' s joke shop is frequented by many high school graduates. Among them are Joan Fuchs, handwriting expert of the Saugus police, of which Thomas Sullivan is the chief; Joanne Malenchini, who operates a finishing- school; Allied Youth book-cover designer Virginia Lord; used-car dealer Sandra (Ma) Perkins; Rockette Marilyn MacLeod; fire-chief Leslie Mader; tree-surgeon David Meehan; C. P, A. Lawrence Munro; pinball-machine repairman Ronald Meek; Sonja Lofgren, who is director of women ' s recreation at the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.; snake-charmer Robert Morris; draftsman Leo Peters; stethescope-designer Kent Perry, and botanist Richard Pike. Bar- bara and Beverly Nielsen have hired Edwin Murphy to build their new shoestore near this location, too. Coroner Robert Ostrom reports that he saw Jordan Nolan leading a pack of eager bird-watchers into the canary depart- ment of Sears Roebuck, headed by Patricia Milano. Also present were Edward O ' Dowd and Paul Odegard who now work on an assembly line wrapping Lava soap. Politically speaking, Carol Starbard will aspire for the presidency in 1956 after being nominated by the Poor Man ' s Party. Virginia Pike has been appointed Secretary of Labor. Ambassador-to-Munrovia Herbert Fletcher reports that Nancy Donovan, chairwoman of the Vegetarian Party National Committee is busily selecting a site for the next convention, and that Cynthia Bailey ' s duties as President of the S.P.D.H.R.P. (Society for the Prevention of Detention of Hooked-Rug Peddlers) enable her to meet such famous people as Elmore Andrews, controversial Tammany Hall leader; Superior Court Judge Francis Malone; Mary-Ann Rossano, Women ' s Suffrage Leader in Borneo; Priscilla Squier, leader of the Citizens for Imbro movement; Eugene Sanford, National Commander of the American Legion; President of the Society for the Prevention of Hippophagy, Peter Fuller; Beverly Wettergreen, who is in charge of removing electric eels from Ell Pond during A-bomb attacks, and Superin- tendent of Subterranean Sanitation, Leon Keach.

While interviewing fender-straightener Robert MacKeil at Smith ' s Bros., I learned that a biography of Mickey Mouse, written by David Maclnnis, is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. Sally Crabtree, waitress at the Town Lyne House, says that Jane Delano has just received a lifetime contract to work in the M. H. S. cafeteria. Dietician Doreen Cataldo will help her. Commercial artist Judith Gardner and welder Elaine Gately have reported seeing Nancy Jo Dwyer taking tickets at the House of Seven Gables. They also say that Madelyn Fitzpatrick has taken up selling plastic-tipped potato-mashers. Interior-decorator William Ryan states that he wouldn ' t miss Audrey Brothers ' weekly chess column in the Malden Evening News for the world. Phyllis Woodman, used bottle sterilizer for Coca Cola, has been quoted as saying much the same thing. Thus does the graduating class of 1955 stand before you. Who among us dares to say that these people are an inspiration to those classes which follow? ' tesentati i ' t oj the 1955 SHELDON JONES Good afternoon, parents, friends, and class of ' 55 May these little gifts help our memories come alive After we leave these halls for the last time But now, see what I ' ve got, and it ' s all in rhyme GEORGE ROGERS — late-to-class slips On his way from class to class George takes some extra trips Maybe you know of some future use For this pile of late-to-class slips.

Assignments, posted well in advance, are submitted to the editors on a specified date, then proof-read and corrected at one make-up night. The following night, the entire paper is pasted together, headlines are written and editors are often seen straggling home just in time for dinner. Under the supervision of Miss Evelyn Blankenberg, this activity offers an outlet for those students interested in creative writing, and contributes largely to school spirit.

Its objective — to pep up the cheering section and improve school spirit — is now a reality. Adorned in red skirts and white sweatshirts, 200 girls from the three upper classes rehearse regularly to produce novel effects with flash cards and unusual cheers. Throughout the year, the club ' s endeavor to keep up active student interest in school sports has been more than successful. ee Cu President: Priscilla Hoyt Vice President: Arthur Simonds Treasurer-Secretary: Merle Forgey Librarians: Carol Dunbar, William Sweet Under the excellent direction o ' f Mr. Warren Wood, the Glee Club enjoyed a busy and suc- cessful season.

Many of the homerooms turned in reports of one hundred per cent membership. Near the end of October the girls in the Club made placemats, for a Hallowe ' en Party for the veterans at Bedford Hospital. Other activi- ties, such as making scrapbooks, mounting crossword puzzles, decorating letter portfolios, are carried on throughout the year by the Junior Red Cross for these patients who depend on an organization like ours to provide them with a few of the extras that make their days more pleasant. r Seniors, Back Row at Right End: — Kitchenka.

The purpose pf French Club is to provide students with an interest in French, an oppor- tunity to practice the language outside of their French classes. The club meets on every other Friday during the S block. At the first meet- ing of the year Jean Raye and Patricia Johnson were elected president and vice president. A different member of the club is chosen each week to write the minutes of the meeting in French. This year the club has seen slides of France shown by a student who visited France several years ago. At the same meeting Miss Miche, the club ' s sponsor, told of some of her experi- ences in the French section of Switzerland. At other meetings the members of the club have given original French skits, read French maga- zines, and recorded their voices on the tape recorder. Following a custom of previous years, the club had a Christmas party at which the members exchanged small gifts. The members of French Club, in addition to enjoying themselves, gain invaluable practice in their study of French as a result of French Club. null Tuck, Velluto, MacKay, MacDonald, M.

Co-Captains: Joe Cerretani, Ernie Gulla Coach: Mr. Austin Manager: Bill Sawyer Desire, hustle and an instilled will to win has placed the Red Raiders in a position that commands a great deal of respect. With a hard running offense centered around Co- Capt. Joe Cerretani, Coach Austin directed his team through a successful season of six wins and three losses. After the rough spots were ironed out in the first few games the Raiders played heads up ball all the way. Certainly their finest game was agamst our traditional nemesis Winchester, in which Melrose out played the Sachems in every department but found themselves on the short end by a 18-12 score. On Thanksgiving day the Austinmen finished in a burst of glory by completely trouncing Arlington on a rain soaked field 37-19.

Every member of the team worked hard, long, and faithfully throughout the season. In the practices as well as in the games they gave all they had, and whenever it was necessary to meet defeat they went down fighting. Coach Allen worked with the team with the same entering efforts. Seniors on the team were: Pat Milano, Midge Fitzpatrick, A. Carrier, and Grace Johnson. High scorers were A. Carrier, Grace John- son, and Junior, Paula Melanson. Out of the eight games played by both Varsity and Junior Varsity there were 3 wins, 3 losses, and 2 ties. 0 7lV G hAlTf- I ' i M .

League and by playing in the State Metropolitan Tournament. Their league record of 7 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties placed them just one game in back of Belmont, league cham- pions. Six boys made the All-Star Team, Seniors Dave Maclnnis and Lou Scarpa, (Co- Capt.); Joe Jangro, and Dave Kelley; Juniors Don Maclnnis and Bill Tryder. Highlights of the season were triumphs over Exeter, the West Point Pleber, and Dartmouth Freshmen. Co-Captains: Edward Gervais, Scott Palmer Coach: Mr. Austin Manager: James Terlizzi This year ' s Basketball team showed a vast improvement over recent years. Sparked by Coach Austin, the boys played a successful season with nine wins and nine losses. Many of these losses could be classified as heart- breakers,” as the difference between victory and defeat was only one or two baskets. Because of its excellent record, Melrose was invited to play in the Bay State Tournament. The team ended the season in third place in the Middlesex League, following Winchester and Belmont respectively.

With five returning lettermen and several outstanding members of last year ' s J. V. team, the Red Raiders have high hopes for a very successful season. Aided by the fine pitching of Jimmy Buchert, Dave Powers, and John Rizzo coupled with the steady hitting of Steve Johnson, Rich Fogarty, Andy Anderson and Bill Tryder, the team should prove to be a definite threat in Middlesex League Competi- tion. Seniors Left to Right: — Botte, Johnson, Carrier, Taggart. The girls ' basketball team played Belmont, Malden, Arlington, Lexington, Winchester, Concord, and Newton. Much of the success of the team was due to the fine playing of two seniors: pitcher Grace Johnson and first base- man Andrea Carrier. Both of these players have been outstanding members of the team throughout their high school careers.

This year s track team is looking forward to a successful season. The coaching of Doctor Flint and the experience of the returning vet- erans should assure this success.
