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.

Ken still remem- bers Miss Erickson's earnest pleas to pay attention in class, and is striving energeti- cally to prove his worth.
