She is featured in the Dimples series. Arthur Gomes looks impressive in his uniform and his lieutenant's bars. These are ample evidence of his diligence, ex- hibited in his last year at M. H. S., wh-en he made the first team without previous ex- perience. John Morrison and June Kitchell own the world-famous Giberti's Apothecary. They took it over when Mr. Giberti retired in 1965. The last we heard, business was buzzing. Mitch and Sully have found success and are happily married. They are making their home in Dublin, Ireland, where Art is a U, S, consul. Greg Sowyrda is the own-er of a chain of push carts in New York City. It seems that his afternoon job at high school did much for his future success. During his four years of high school, Eddy Jacobs worked all hours of the day. He claims it paid, for he has recently retired for life.

VVe hope that he has learned by now. Thomas Weston Edison Sanford has smashed the atom, invented a revolutionary electricity-saving bulb and developed rock- et power to its last-word stage. XVe hope he will be a notable chemist some day. There is a fairly profitable goat farm in northern Massachusettsg Ralph Spurrier, proprietor. Good luck to you. Ralph, and don't drink too much goat milk. lf you could catch a glimpse of the main attraction at the Stork Club in New York, you would find Victor Zakarian, 'fthe Mighty Midget, engrossed in a heated game of Moda, Look! Up in the sky - it's a bird - it's a plane! Yes, with Captain Gordon Demp- sey at the controls, doing a chandelle. His nation-wide fame has brought him many a fat fee, plus some broken bon-es from a few unplanned crashes. Kenneth Wilbur's printing business is a money-making concern. Ken still remem- bers Miss Erickson's earnest pleas to pay attention in class, and is striving energeti- cally to prove his worth.

Costumes worn at re- hearsals rivaled the performance costumes in originality: old evening gowns. house- eoats, bedroom slippers and bare feet all contributed to an unusual bizarre effect. On the Big Night the cast played to a full house and an appreciative audience. Or- chids go to the unsung heroes behind the curtains who supplied props. prompted, helped in the dressing rooms, and applied makeup. Gloria Anternoits, Marion An- gers, june Kitchell, Marjorie Moody, and Isabelle Kennedy were everywhere at once. doing whatever was needed. XVeston San- ford was in charge of lights and pulled the curtain. Dot Davis not only worried about all personal props but was responsible for getting everyone on stage at the proper time. Nan Kendall and janet Fickert helped us over some rough spots with their quick prompting. Wihile the SCll',lt'llI was Georgina .AXlger's problem. the yearbook was Dick Drake's. These important honors could not have been voted to more capable seniors. The class will long remember the special yearbook assembly program with Ronald Mills leading his chorus girls through an unusual routine. Nan Kendall and Dick Drake share valedic- torian honors, while Georgina Alger is salu- tatorian. Dorothy Davis, Murray Alberts and Charlotte Snow have honor essays. Toward the end of our senior year a greater victory was won in Germany. Many of our boys are already helping to defeat our other enemy, and we know that we are all at war until we are all at peace.

Memorial High Sclnool ft Class of Forty - Five this is Millsie. Yes, Ronald is exercising his natural capabilities to their utmost. Lucille Braley was once a soda jerk at Buck's Drug Store, but we find her at pres- ent managing her own shop. It's called the Neftel Sweet Shop after that old sweetheart of hers. Anne Begley is now a career woman. Her training at business school has helped her considerably. You who wish to follow in her footsteps, be, like Anne, sincere. Corinne Cahoon's sweetie is back from the war. We find her bustling around her little vine-covered cottage, preparing a good meal for Charlie. Caroline Cannon and Corinne always chummed together in high school days. Now Caroline is doing much the same as Cor- inne. The only difference is that Caroline's hearthrob is Ray, Myra Casey and Alice Shaw always talked about what would happen when they be- came nurses. Myra is a private nurse to Dr. Bazinette, while Alice keeps herself busy as head nurse at the Deaconess Hospital in Boston, Mary Dores always went in for glamorous clothes. She now has opened a shop of her own. On her frock labels we find Owen Downey Specialties. Clarra Fernandes was a whiz at shorthand and typing. Last week the National Award for skill and accuracy was presented her. She will soon be taking a new position in VVashington. Winnie Winberg is now Chief Engineer rebuilding the road to Taunton which he wore out going to baseball games. VVas Casey at the bat XVinnie? Donald Guidaboni, the kid who was Pro Merito, was hit pretty bad when the enlist- ments to the Air Corps were closed. But now, instead of having to fly for the Army Air Corps, he has his own plane. Francis Gill is now with his trapping ex- pedition in the Dominion of Canada. VVe hope he is using the same ideas he used on the good old Nemasket River. George Gamache, one of the fellers from the agricultural course, has a prosperous farm in North Middleboro. Because of her ability and training in high school, Lois Ferry has become a prom- inent Broadway actress. janet Fickert has the most important job of all, that of a housewife. She makes a good one, too. VVe can't say who the lucky fellow is - we aren't that psychicg but we can say that she has not forgotten her high school days. .lane Becker still drives around like a whirl-wind, but she now has good reason to do so, with a job as superintendent of a board of -education on her hands. Be len- ient with the kids, Jane. Remember your corn-raising days. As you all know, Ernest Butler has put his books away and is now sailing the Seven Seas with Uncle Sam's Navy. Richard Drake, the brain of our class, has received his Ph, D. and is putting it to good use. Nick Garafalo was always a timid fellow until his senior year in school. That last year did so much for him that we find he has become chorus-girl promoter in Holly- wood. Although Edward Potter never cared too much for Solid or Trig, he has conquered his distaste for these and is teaching them in the high school of a neighboring town. Another strong man from the agricultural course is Richard Rebell. He is still in good old M. H. S., not as a pupil but as the agricultural teacher. Jack Pimental was always building model airplanes while in school, and has continued his hobhyg only, he is now building real planes. Helen Tarr' is playing professional bas- ketball. It is rumored that she is planning to take up coaching when her present con- tract runs out, Josephine Savarcl, private secretary to a law firm, has had her eye on her boss for a long time. This, however, does not in- jure the fine calibre of her work. Is your coal bin low? Phone the Cramache Coal Company and have it filled. Leo Gamache has worked up from truck driver to owner of this profitable company. Re- member, Leo, keep the class of '45 warm first.
