MIJMOh ' IAL UKIII SCHOOL CLASS or TlllirrY-EKlIIT Myvi Tlioiiias is now the All-Aiii( ric;iii V()- inan ' s Cluuiipion of baskctba ' l, baseball, hockey, niul tennis. There isn ' t nmeh lel ' t for Myra t;) do now but to eontinue her record of breakinf ' hearts that she so sneeessfnlly stai-ted in hci- high school days. One of the athletic members of our class has •••one right to town. Rose Thompson is now the Xational Woman ' s ( ' liamj)ion Wrestler. Ros. always showed great ])romise of this activity during her athUHic career in High school. i Iargaret Tripp is now a housewife. She was man-ied right after she graduated. Trippy is an- othei- one who thinks Plymouth is a grand i)lac, ' . Have you all read tlie new book, The Do and Dont ' s in Geometry , that is the sensation of the year . ' It was Avritten by our classmate, Jane Uiford, in the spare moments in her journalistic career. Phyllis AVard doesn ' t have her homework to hinder her now, so instead she divides her time between the hearts in the Town of Plymouth and Ilebi ' on Academy. I guess Phyllis isn ' t the timid soul she used to be. Anyway that per- sona ' ity she | osses.ses will push her right along. Ellen Williams now gives saxo])hone les;ons. Ellen was a whiz hang in high school too, but her greatest i)robleni at the i)resent is sliowing Billy Osborne that sentimental music does come from a sax. Walking into a jMatrimonial lJureau just re- cently, we spied a fiery red-head furiously tap- ping away at a tyi)ewriter. It wasn ' t much of a surprise to find it to be Phyllis Wilmot, e.s])ec- ially when we learned that the Bureau possessed the intriiiuing name of Budd, Budd, and Budd Co. Helen Zion lias now joined the harmony team of ' Mimniy and Dick. Helen did always have a secret yen for the senior partnei ' , Dick. She followed them around so faithfuMy that I gness she considered it cheaper to join the team than to sit in the audience. Because of her extensive traveling since her high school days, Edith Long now wi-ites de- scrii)tions of travelogues in moving pictui ' es. Edith also gets in something about the sports of the week. You know Edith always had a weakness foi- athletics and athletes. Hazel Shaw now does stenographic work in Frank Cole ' s office in North Carver. II( r gr; ' at heart throb works there you know and Hazel must keep tabs on him. Dorothy Vickery is now doing commercial work in a manufaci iiring concern a1 Ihe Rock. I wonder if Dot ever remend)ers those delight- ful days slie spent in our Amei-ican history c!ass. Roberta Rogers is anothei- mend)er of our class who went commercial. She is back at M.II.S. as an assistant commci-cial instructor. Sh heli)s out those poor ])U|)ils who suffer with commei ' cial pi-oblems. The i)aintings of Eddie K()ri)iiien and Alex- ander Sowyrda, both M.H.S. alumni, are re- ceiving much praise by New York art critics. Jimniie Keegan is cliief lifeguard at tlie Atlantic City Beach. Sannnie Pike recently kayoed Kid Slug- g-o in the ' M-d I ' ound of a semi-final bout in Madi.son Square Garden. Pike is being groomed for a match with the heavyweight champion. The bout will pi ' obably take place next fall. Dutchy (irossnian and Eddie Stulpin have recently been signed as defensemen by Art Ro.ss, manager of the fast travelling- Boston liruins of the National Hockey League. Bert Clark is now the cranberry king of Carver. Bert says that business is the ber- ries. Donald Fish has succeeded Donald Van Wart as the musical envoy of the Piano Warehous; ' Inc., l)Oston, Mass. Plorace Harlow is now emj loyed as pei ' sonal secretary to Ir. Charles Coni ' ad, of the Con- rad Cutie Cuto its Manufacturing Co.. manu- facturers of the hand ])ainted i)apei ' dolls, sold in book form. Ihid lendall has just been made the jun- ioi- |)artner of a local house painting concern. Harold Chase ' s Pant Pressing Emi)oi ' ium is doing a rushing business, and he is considering the ))ossibility of opening a haberdashery. Lawrence KePey is now .serving as mechanic to Wild Bill Cummings, holder of the sjK ' ed record at the Indianapolis S])eedway. Clifford (iraham ' s hotel is doing a thriving business. Rene Duphily, the world ' s leading- chef, is in charge of the menus, while Edmund Yaru.sites is working as singing waiter. Thus we find the local debutantes suffering from pal- pitations of the heai ' t caused by the i-omanlic croonings of this handsome young- lad. John Nye has recently been named head of the studio staff technicians of WXAC, a mend)er of the CBS chain. [25

( ' [.ASS OF TlIlUTY-FJanT The Prophecy of the Class of 1 938 Miiillui A. Sli, Ill- Mil ni A. Til mil IK I sec by till- stars tliat in many nionns to como : Tlic Wri rlit Iji-otliei-s now own tlu ' Shaw eran- ry botrs and larie Wri rht. the former larie T.uti of the class of ' 38, sits on the shore and keeps tally on her husband. Crawford. In her hours off dnty from the ] I•lssaehu■ etts General Hospital. Marjorie Lynch sjjends her time p ' avin r cards. Her favorite game is Jacks. Stately and gracious Helen lerrihew walks before the elite of Paris, modeling clothes for the famous dress designer. Sehaii)arelli. Vox Pop has now changed its radio program from a questionnaire to a ta ' king eontest. Tli. winner of this contest has been Mrs. .Teniiy l ai-- tlielmes. former Miss Jennie lawhiiiney. of the class of y,s. Mary lurdock is fulfilling her life ' s desire. She spends all her time heckling the Eng- lish teachers who made life .so miserable for her during her higli school career. Still as sweet and (juiet as ever, Aili Paan- anen is one member of our former class who is going to enjoy life before old age. She makes yearly tri])s to Finland. Who knows but some day she will find a pebble on that foreign shore to fit lier heart ' s desire. ' Marion Patterson and (Jleiiice Perkins are still getting tliemselves in and out of trouble. The last report rumored around the town stat- ed that these two were likely suspects for i)aint- ing Piymoutli Kock red again. I wondei- if that certain young man will be there this time to help Pat ' ' out of her difficulty. My I the chickens down in AVaterville are act- ing fu.nny. Every time they scratch for food now tiiey mark x plus y ecjuals z. I guess Olive Poi ' tei- has been teaching them her great knowl- edge of algebra. By the way. you know Olive now runs a large farm all her own. don ' t you? She ' s one member of the class who went places. The Talk of the Town ' has been sold to our classmate Alice Plissey. The ])ai)er now has four pei-sonal columns in.stead of two. 1 wonder why. ' Coidd it l)e Alice ' s nose for news I was looking at the critic ' s column in the Xew York Times last week. To niy great surprise the name of our classmate. Doris Powell, was • ' ) . . Li II I ff J oil II II. SiiviKje there. Slic is now playing lier cello witli T.,t ' o- pold Symi)hony Orchestra. She makes histoiy as the fir.st wom;m ever allowed this privilege. liss Rarbai-a Raymond is now the secretary of tile great J. P. Morgan, lint Barbara has a vacation for two weeks every summer. During her vacation she still goes to Shady Lane whei-e her favorite past time is falling into li ' y ponds. As you know Helen Roberts, the Ijlonde. is now the private secretary of Mr. Walter (J. Hicks. I wonder why it is that Helen now sto])s at ( ' aswell ' s store in Xortli liddleboro on her way home from work. ' Could it be that a certain blonde from Bridgewater now di-ives the North liddleboro bus and nmkes a diiily stop at Ca.s- Avell ' s for gas . ' lany years have ] assed since our liii:li school days, but Helen Roberts, tin- l)i ' unette. still has her crowning features. Ilcr good looks anu pleasing personality made her the football (pieen of r.H.S. in 1986, and today I saw in my crystal globe that Helen was crowned Miss America. Clarion Thomas has finished her education at Colby College and is no v teaciiinL; American history at Memorial High. Just cari-ying on the family tradition, I guess. Down in the big ' metropolis of Carver. ] Iar- garet Oakland has opened a variety shoj). lar- garet tried to choo.se between three careers; singing, dietetics, and dress designing but the problem was so great she took up all three. She studies at the Conservatory of Music, at P ' annie Farmer ' s Candy School, and at Lelong ' s Dress Designing school respectively. Arlene Sturtevant, the quiet and domestic girl in our class, was secretary for the labeth Wool Concern in Plymouth for a while, but she met her Prince Charming down there in that lovely town and now she is married. Alone, alone, all alone, one could never say this about Barbara Taylor. She still has her boy friend, who now takes her back and forth to work. He used to bring her to school every n:orning of her four years in high school. I guess he was afraid ab.sence would make the heart grow fondei- for someone else. [24]

CLASS OF Tiiiury-KuniT ])wi rht FowItT is i.ow sucfessfully i)ractie- in r law and has offices in Boston, Providence, and Xew York City. Robert Pojje and Ed rar Bijrelow are en ra red as professors in Science and (Miemistry at Col- nnibia I ' niversity. Peter Lajradimos is runninfr a delicatessen store in Brockton, the city commonly called God ' s Gift to the Greeks. Clifton Hayden is now employed as a drafts- man by Stone and AVebster, Inc.. architects of Xew York City. Everett Hunter has just received the Critics Award for the best piece of acting done in the l)ast year. He received his early interest in the theater in Rock and Fall Brook. Xancy Alger went through lassacliusetts State with flying colors. She enjoyed her four years very much. Vou l that have anything to do with the fact that it is co-ed ? Gladys Anacki. one of the quietest girls in our cla.ss, is now the proud proprietress of a beauty parlor where she. with her quiet and dignified manner, serves the fair sex. Elizabeth Archer was made famous by a book she compiled on Modern Methods of Dieting. AVe hope she doesn ' t abide by these methods her- self. AVe want Betty around a few more years. 1 guess Middleboro was too small for Eva Bagdon. After graduating from dear old M. H.S. Eva took up travelling. She not only vis- ited sevei-al parts of the Cnited States but many foreign countries have had the privilege of her ])resence there. Lois Barthelmes now astounds our townsfolk with her amazing column on Advice to the Lovelorn , which appears in the weekly Gazette. Our loss is X ' ew Bedford ' s gain I ] Iany a pa- tient has been cured hy the sweet smile and tender care of our own Alma Berube. The artistic abilities of Xatalie Burnett have brought her great fame. Besides doing master- pieces of her own. .she gives lessons in her studio. From all reports her best students come from a place known as Shady Lane. Remember Thalia Caswell, the quiet and re- served young lady from C2 . ' She is now (piite a cut-up , acting as head surgeon in Xew York most i)rominent hospital. At the present time Priscilla Clark is an out- standing flute soloi.st in high .society. To keep lier engagements she rides in a gray sedan, bet- ter known as Tisy Lish. As for her inspiration. well, that always was a secret. Edna Corayer wanted to be a nurse. She suc- ceeded and we have a feeling that Lawrence Souza has been a constant patient, seeking to cure his heart affliction. Xow that Isabelle Cordeiro is owner of the F. V. Voolworth 5 lUc stores the busiiu ' .ss is run on a more efficient basis and produces great- er profits. Caswell ' s grocery concern of Xorth Middle- boro is now opened and operated by Mr. and Airs, (ieorge Caswell. .Mr . Caswell is the former Helen Craig. Betty Crosier is one of Xew York s most em- inent dress designers. In her spare moments .she assists Art Alurray in teaching the latest steps of the shag. Having served her apprenticeship as seam- stress for the First Lady of our fair land. Cliloe Curtis now makes the clothes that hold the Duchess of AVinsor together. Hazel Davis has been a buyer for B?st Co. AVe envy her yeai ' ly ti ' ips to Paris and we wonder if she likes the job or just goes along for tlie ride. Edna Dennett and Dorothy Horsman are both A-1 secretaries. Aliss Dennett works in the office of a Xew A ' ork concern while Dorothy is busily employed in the office at St. Luke ' s Hos- pital in Aliddleboro. Tha ' ia Eames has been very much interested in Cncle Sam. She doesn ' t have a government job. but she certainly follows up the Xavy. AVe hope he hasn ' t a girl in every ])ort. Thalia. Alarine Fortin and her charming per.sonality are at work keeping chi ' dren hap])y. Aliirine is the matron of a children ' s home and. as far as we can find out. he feed» tliciii on ice cream and candy. Our class was noted for its great musicians. Some of these people followed up this musical talent for their life ' s work. Emily (xarafalo is among them. After studying the violin for many years, it has come to the point where she has even Fritz Kreisler worried. Esther John.son is another musician. The piano has brought suc- cess to her. She has had several offers and fin- a ' ly accepted the position of j)ianist in Jiiiiiiiy Dorscy ' s band. During her high .school career Jeanette Greene ' s companion was Helen Roberts, the brunette. It has been rumored but not confirm- ed that her interests in the past few yeai-s have [26]
