BURNHAM When John Casey shut the door of his home room, just as the bell rang, he re- presented one hundred and sixty new- comers to M.H.S. It was no uncommon sight to see one of our class wandering around in a daze, or one of the girls looking admiringly at a tall senior. Finally after opening one eye, we elected Donald (I love photography) Atkins as class president, James ( I want to he a band leader) Kenyon vice president, Betty Jane (I don ' t care if I am small) Skahill as sec- retary, and Patricia (I ' ll get that man yet) Waite as treasurer. Miss Ryder, teacher of freshman English, was our class advisor. Because of the war with Japan and Ger- many, the school instituted air raid drills in 1942. Mr. Rayman Hyman, faculty ad- visor to the traffic squad, did a fine job with the drills until October of 1942 when he left to enter the service of his country. During his absence Mr. Edward Whit- more, of the Science Department, took over his duties and ably carried on. During the class ' s four year rise to fame it surrendered four of its boys to Uncle Sam : Robert Dyke, Clarence Millette, Hen- ry Morris, and Robert Lammi. Henry Morris returned to the class in his senior year, disgusted at the Navy ' s refusal to make him admiral of the fleet. In our sophomore year after becoming used to the ways and means of M.H.S., we elected John Rice as president, James Ken- yon as vice president, Margaret Burnett as secretary, and Barbara Jones as treasurer. With the re-election of John Rice as pre- sident, James Kenyon as vice president, Betty Jane Skahill as secretary, and Patri- cia Waite as tresurer, plans for the Junior Prom got under way. The music for the hep-cats was supplied by Gene Marshall ' s orchestra. Caps and horns were given to couples as favors so that the grown-up juniors might act like kids again. We held a second grand march for those stylish folks who arrived late. Coaches Battis, Teeling, and Farley led the squads of M.H.S. on to winning sea- sons in football, basketball, and baseball, while senior cheerleaders, Patricia Waite, Pam Jones, and Betty Skahill, spurred them on. Mr. Farley was mainly respon- sible for a fine job of coaching, which led this year ' s basketball squad almost to the championship. The coming of the senior year saw Ed- gar Gay class president. John Rice vice president, Elaine Doucette secretary, and Margaret Burnett treasurer. One year after our Junior Prom, on Pearl Harbor Day, December seventh, the class of 1946 presented its senior play. With a cast consisting of Donald Mello, David Fish. John Cayton, Mildred Claire Riley, John Casey. Margaret Burnett. Roger Tillson, Jean Maddigan, and Eleanor Derosier, and under the direction of Miss Barbara Stanhope assisted by Alice Colvin, the presentation of Smilin ' Through was a big success. The sale of tickets was handled by Herbert Thompson, costumes by Emma Reed, and publicity by Bessie Reynolds. Under the able direction of Mrs. Sylvia Matheson, Marian Hanson and committee did a fine job with the make-up, and Constance Sparrow and hel- pers designed an unusual setting. Marilyn Shaw, Elaine Wilbur, and Eugene Ken- nedy helped things along with the handling of ushers, sound effects and lighting res- pectively. Miss Flora Porter acted as pia- nist for the evening, and all music was under the supervision of Mr. Luther Churchill. Mr. Ernest Thomas supervised the selling of tickets. Orchids to all who contributed to the success of the play. As well as losing a third of the members of the class in four years, we also gained a few able members. Among them is Gil (that ' s what I like about the South) Camp- bell, who kinda likes the Yankee Girls. Others are Margaret Hartley, Joan Mar- shall, Charlotte Mulley, Constance Purcell, Mary Joy Cosseboom, Dorothy Montgom- ery, Roger Keedwell, and Laurier Wood. The production of the Yearbook saw Henry Johnson as editor-in-chief, and Frank Scholz and Jack Rice as assistant ed- itors. Donald Shaw, James Mahoney. and Richard Chaplain went around begging ev- eryone to please buy a yearbook and be different. We do not know whether we appreciate more Donald Atkin ' s gift of all the group photography work for the year- book, or the gift of suspended classes for three periods during the taking of the pic- tures. School honors were bestowed upon Roger Tillson valedictorian, Betty Jane Skahill and Marian Hanson as joint salutatorians. Honor essays were written by Henry John- son, Alice Colvin, and Frank Scholz. Thus with the passing of time another class has passed through the portals of M. H. S. Though we leave the school, no one among us will ever forget it or its faculty. From This Day Forth we begin another phase of history, not a students but as citizens, and good citizens.

While up in Mars, I ran into a couple of scientists who were introducing Raegan and Elva to the people of Mars. Burn- ham and Brackett, by the way. were the scientists. I went into a restaurant to get a meal up there in Mars, and I left the waitress a $5.00 tip. This was not because the service was good, but because the waitress was Bar- bara Dunham. And}- Pawlak is up in Mars too, and lie ' s President of the Mars Baseball League and has charge of all baseball in Mars.

The crowds of women descending daily on Fenway Park would lead one to believe i Class of Forty - Six Ladies ' Day was a daily event at the Red Sox home. That isn ' t the situation at all.

Barbara Jones, rides her favorite horse in perfect time with the music. The other act is the work of Deborah Anderson, who paces her pet horse through many exciting and difficult tricks. Bozo Santin is the clown, and his hearty chuckles are a carry-over of the Santa Clans role he played so well at M. H. S. Because of the help shortage, he also doubles as the strong man. We now find Eileen Casey visiting her friend Deborah at the circus every afternoon. She uses the same strategy to get out of work as she did in getting out of her home room at M. H. S.

One thousand boys have failed to catch her. A song lately dedicated to her is, Oh, Pamelia, ' Melia, ' Melia. I ' ve made up my mind to stealia. It is sung by none other than the famous dancer, Jimmy Jo Ma- honey. Critics claim he dances better than Fred Astaire. Shirley Fickert at school ate only one meal a day, but when you consider it was one continuous meal, it is easy to under- stand how she became head sampler for the National Food Company.

Memorial High School 1 i Class of Forty - Six The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1946 MARI iARET BURNETT Be it remembered that we, the Senior Class in the Memorial High School of Mid- dleboro in the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts, being the only class of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of life, do make this our last will and testa- ment, hereby revoking all former wills by us at anytime heretofore made. After the payments of our just debts and funeral charges we do bequeath and devise as follows : The footprints of wisdom with which we have so indelibly impressed the halls of Memorial High School must not be in vain. So to those tiny tots of immaturity, the fresh- men, we leave our old shoes that they may better follow in our footprints. To the Class of ' 47, we do will and be- queath all boys and girls borrowed during the duration of our short visit at M. H. S. We the Class of ' 46 do will and bequeath to all up and coming sophomore boys, the natural art pictures taken in Connecticut ' s woodlands by Herby Thompson and Jim- mie Kenyon. The Class of ' 46 feels it only proper to leave to Miss Erickson a new ventilating system — in hopes that this system will keep the room dusty as well as the radiators have kept it cold. To Mr. Thomas, it is with great pleasure we leave an historical textbook The Rise and Fall of M: H. S. covering the most important era of this high school during the reign of the Class of ' 46. L ' nto the leading men in the senior play of next year, we leave Roger Tillson ' s desire for a uniform — be it Army or Navy — and Johnny Cayton ' s ability for making beat- ing around the bush proposals. To the future president of the Class of ' 47, Ted Gay, our president, leaves his un- touched gavel and his air of authority.

Al Brooks, president of the Student Coun- cil, does will and bequeath to the future president of said organization his unopened book of Parliamentary Law. The Class of ' 46 does will and bequeath Mecca and Dick Chaplain ' s jitterbug team work to any under classmen who will accept it at their own risk. We do will and bequeath John Santin ' s frame to Donnie Mitchell for rebuilding. Patty Waite leaves her infectious laugh to anyone who thinks he can stand it. To all future students of M. H. S. we do will and bequeath all diamonds purchased by the seniors to be used as class rings if so desired. Last but not least, Roger Tillson, Mar- ian Hanson, and Betty Jane Skahill leave their enviable records and titles of valedic- torian and salutatorian respectively to those most deserving of this most esteemed hon- or. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three wit- nesses declare this to be our last will this 11th day of June, in the year one thou- sand nine hundred and forty-six. On this 11th day of June, 1946. A. D., the Class of 1946 of Memorial High School of Middleboro, Massachusetts, signed the foregoing instrument in our presence, de- claring it to be their last will : and, there- after, as witnesses thereof we three, at their request, in their presence, and in the pres- ence of each other, hereunto subscribe our names.

Under the skillful direction of Mr. Churchill, the choir has added much to the musi- cal life of M. H. S. One of the first important performances of the new group was at the program held in the Walter Sampson Auditorium on December 20, 1945, when the choir, with many appropriate songs, brought the air of Christmas to the halls of M. H. S. Another musical experience came to the group on March 20 — 23, when twenty-four students with Mr. Churchill attended the New England Music Festival at New Britain, Connecticut. On March 29, 1946, M. H. S. ' s musical direc- tor organized a group of girls, chosen from the members of the Choir. These girls have sung special arrangements of the standard popular songs with emphasis upon certain choral effects such as those arranged by Fred Waring.

THE EDUCATIONAL REHABILITA- TION OF VETERANS MARIAN HANSON A grateful nation, through its Congress, has made generous provision to assist men who have served it in war to prepare for their peacetime futures. Under the terms of the G. I. Bill of Rights, the veterans who have had ninety days or more of active service at any time since September 16, 1940. and who have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, are entitled to one year of college training in a college of their own choice at the expense of the government. The government also will pay for addition- al college training, not to exceed four years, equivalent to the length of time spent on active duty in the armed forces. The twen- ty-five year age limit has been removed, making all veterans — regardless of age — eligible for full benefits. Persons who were discharged or releas- ed from active service by reason of an act- ual service-incurred injury or disability are entitled to these same educational benefits, regardless of the length of their service, if they served for the period between Sep- tember 16, 1940, and the end of World War II. The requirements for entrance to college vary with the individual college. Each vet- eran may take tests to determine the type of work to which he is best suited and then from the results he can plan the course of studies which he should follow. Credits toward a diploma may be earned in the ser- vice. Two credits were given by high schools generally for basic training up to October first, and books have been issued by the government which state the number of cred- its granted for each course taken in a ser- vice school. The educators in Massachusetts recognize the education and readjustment to civilian life of the returned veteran as the fore- most problem of this time Dr. John J. Desmond, Jr.. Commissioner of Education in Massachusetts, says, The general pro- vision of Public Laws Xo. 16 and Xo. 346 present to the veteran an opportunity to complete his preparation for the higher edu- cation and to enter a college or technical school or to train for profitable employ- ment in business or in industry. The plans are well advanced through the operation of the Regional Veterans ' Education Centers in the State Teachers ' Colleges and local communities ; through the in-service and apprentice programs ; and through the Di- vision of University Extension. Tn March of this year there were twenty-eight Re- gional Veterans ' Education Centers in Mas- sachusetts enrolling over 1800 students. If he prefers, the veteran may choose a business establishment or institution pro- viding apprentice or other training on the job. The government agrees to pay him the difference between what he earns as an ap- prentice and what the experienced worker is paid. Veterans may enroll for correspondence instruction only in institutions with which the Veterans ' Administrator contracts, on the basis of an agreed cost. The govern- ment will pay as high as $500.00 for cor- respondence courses but no subsistence al- lowances are made to veterans taking these courses. High School Equivalency Certificates are issued by the State Department of Edu- Memorial High School i i Class of Forty - Six cation to those whose education is equal to that of the average high school senior. These certificates are accepted as meeting the re- quirement for admission to some colleges, for civil service positions, and for positions open to high school graduates. Education for all American Youth, the recent publication of the Education Policies Commission of the National Education As- sociation, has recommended the addition of two grades to the traditional high school. Instead of using the words Junior Col- lege. these two grades, XIII and XIV, would be called Community Institutes. This would make it possible for students to take work of college grade, and yet re- main at home. This work could be of a vocational nature or could be preparation for the last two years of the traditional lib- eral arts colleges. Because of the crowded situation in the colleges, many applicants cannot be admitted. One possibility of solving this problem is for the larger high schools in the state to expand so as to in- clude grades XIII and XIV and also post- graduate courses. Suggestions have also been made that service camps like Camp Edwards and Standish be used for colleges sponsored by the State Department of Education. Newton, Massachusetts, already has plans to add grades XIII and XIV to her high school, and September 1946 will see many others following her example. Middleboro itself is doing a great job in helping the veterans. Several veterans came back for post-graduate courses this year and a great many more are expected next year. Middleboro ' s Veterans ' Education Cen- ter opened April 30 of this year and is pro- viding refresher courses for those who wish to brush up on their studies before going on to school, and giving those who never re- ceived their diplomas a chance to do so. So, with the G. I. Bill, Public Laws No. 16 and No. 346, the in-service programs, and University Extension Courses, the vet- erans have an unsurpassed opportunity to further their education. The Problem Facing High School Graduates ELIZABETH SKAHILL What can be done to help the high school graduate of today and tomorrow who is faced with the problem of veterans ' pre- ference in school and jobs? This import- ant question merits the serious considera- tion of every citizen. While quite a few seniors will be accepted into the college that they apply to, there are many who will probably be rejected be- cause the colleges are filled by returning vet- erans. Some authorities estimate that in the state of Massachusetts alone there are 30,030 applicants for the 4,000 possible va- cancies. There will be no opening in most of these schools until 1947 or ' 48. That is one blank wall seniors are run- ning up against ; the other is that today jobs are limited for high school graduates because of these home-coming veterans. It is only fair that veterans have the prefer- ence, but it is just as fair that something be done for the graduates until they can enter a college or secure a position. They must be helped to keep alive the flame of ambi- tion in the interests of crime prevention and their own future. The following plans have been suggested as a means of partial solution to the prob- lem : First, the post-graduate course can be developed to interest more people in taking it. Here refresher courses can be offer- ed ; thus the student can be reviewing his subjects instead of forgetting them. In the new high school which is being planned, an extended program for learning trades will be popular. This will enable the student to be better prepared for finding work and surer of getting a job. For girls there can be cooking and sewing class- es in which they can learn fundamentals of Home Economics. Mr. Robert C. Taber said in an article on What ' s Ahead for the Teens? which appeared in Parents ' Maga- zine July 1944: The extension of such a program at the high school level promises to be one of the most significant develop- ments in many years. It will help the pupils in making the transition from the familiar- ity and protection of the school atmosphere to the rigorous demands of a job. It will provide another avenue for helping a young- ster to mature both emotionally and socially. He can acquire practical experience to ex- plore various fields before committing him- self to an occupation for the years to come. Second, there is a demand for food and more food. An agricultural project with Memorial High School i i Class of Forty - Six the support of the graduate can seemingly kill two birds with one stone. If some boys and even girls need an income right away, farm work might be one way out. They can work some land and earn the money they receive for selling their produce, or they can work on someone else ' s farm. With this extra help, farms can expand : more crops can be grown and harvested. In this program they can learn farm management and might start farms of their own. Third, long ago people learned a trade by being an apprentice to a master crafts- man. Today it is possible for graduates who are interested in learning plumbing, carpentering, and other trades to do so in this way. These students will get actual ex- perience while learning. Fourth, the armed forces are another fac- tor which help us out. Men or women may enlist in some branch of the service witb prospects of good pay and interesting work. If enlistment occurs before Octoher 6. 1946, the enlistee will be eligible for the G. I. Rill of Rights and thus entitled to a free college education. Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, recreational facilities should be considered. Although Middleboro of- fers us bowling, swimming, movies, a gym- nasium, and a Teen Age Canteen, these do not reach the interests of all young people. Hobby clubs such as horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling would reach many more. In an article in the February 1946 issue of Recreation C. E. Rachford said. Adequate provisions for outdoor recreation may be said, without exaggeration, to be one of the primary requisites of our develop- ing social system. And again (I quote) according to Rob- ert C. Taber, The time to act is now. The responsibility rests upon us all to see that these boys and girls are not needlessly add- ed to the already formidable list of war cas- ualties. Essay and ROGER DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION At the present time when education is so much in the public eye, it seems particu- larly fitting to talk about the development of education in Middleboro. and especially so when the theme of the program this evening is centered on education. The first record of any school in Mid- dleboro is found when in 1706 the people of the town voted to have one John Bennett appointed as schoolmaster to keep a free school and to teach all that came to him how to read, write, and cast accounts. Apparently, however, his services as schoolmaster were of not too long dura- tion as three years later the grand jury of Massachusetts found a bill against the town for not having a school as the law re- quired. This hit or miss situation of having a teacher and then not having one continued for about ten years. Finally in 1716 the town was divided into four sections, and Thomas Roberts was hired as teacher. He kept school in one quarter of the town for several months and then moved on to the next so that in this way the whole town could receive the benefits of his teaching in the course of a year. As there were no schoolhouses, the teacher used to gather the children from the neighboring farms Valedictory TILLSON IN THE TOWN OF MIDDLEBORO at one of the homes to instruct them. It is interesting to notice that for a year ' s work the town agreed to find Robert ' s lodgings and pay him the sum of £20 or approximately $103. ( )ne of the oldest schoolhouses in the town was built at Muttock opposite the site of the old Churchill house, largely :h:ough the influence of Judge Oliver, before the Revolutionary War. Soon after, several others were erected — one in Eddyville and propably one within the limits of the town of Lakeville. Within a few years after the Revolution there were one room schoolhouses in many neighborhoods, and by 1850 there were forty, a number which held the record for the grea ' est number of country school- houses in any town in the state. Some of these district schools were : Thomastown, Muttock — which stood at the intersection of Plymouth and Precinct streets until it mysteriously burned one night before the fourth of July — Rock, North Middleboro, South Middleboro, Waterville, Soule Neighborhood, Pur- chade, Wappanucket, the Green, and many others some of you can probably name. Several of these buildings are still standing, and the North and South Mid- Memorial High School i dleboro ones, and the one at Rock are still in use. These schools usually had one teacher and from fifteen to thirty scholars rang- ing all the way through the first eight grades. The one big room was heated by a wood stove, and upon the larger boys devolved the duty of building the fires. The boy whose job it was on a particular day would stay late after school the day before to draw water and to gather wood, ( supplied by the people living in that district), preparatory to coming early the next day to start the fires. The discipline was strict, and the pupils were certainly not spoiled if sparing the rod would do it. One of the simplest and most effective ways of dealing with the unruly small boys was to make them sit with the little girls. It is very evident, however, that such a decentralized system would be very ineffi- cient as it would require many more teach- eis and buildings than a city would for the same number of pupils. But the very size of the town itself required such a system. After the turn of the century, though, came the development of the automobile, making possible the school bus, which in turn made it possible to transport the stu- dents into town. There were in town at this time four primary schools : The West Side School, Forest Street School — re- named Flora M. Clark School for one of its principals — , School Street School, and the Old Union Street School. With the coming of the school bus, School Street was rebuilt, Bates School became the grammar school, recently Union Street was replaced, and one by one the country schools were abandoned until today Mid- dleboro has one of the longest daily bus routes in the state. For a long time, the state of Massachu- setts did nothing to aid its citizens in ob- taining a higher education, and a person had only one way of getting one — through a private academy. The Pierce Academy was founded by Major Levi Pierce in the year 1808. The first building, built at the cost of $2,500. stood next to the old Bap- tist Church and faced Thatcher ' s Row on the lot where the Post Office now is. The Academy struggled along without too much success until I842 when Professor John P. Jenks was appointed principal. Under his able and energetic hand the en- rollment increased rapidly, and the school prospered until by 1850 it had outgrown the i Class of Forty - Six old building and a new one was built on the site, remaining there until 1932 when it was razed to make room for the Pos-t Of- fice. Among the other academies worthy of mention was the Eaton Family School on West Grove Street. This was a private school or a boarding school for boys, which was run from about 1860 up until 1898 by Amos H. Eaton, a former town clerk. And then there was the Titicut Academy in Norrth Middleboro, which later because of the gifts of Enoch Pratt became known as the Pratt Free School. In the meantime, the state, awakening to its lack of schools, started normal schools and passed laws requiring the towns to have high schools. In accordance with these laws Middleboro established a high school in 1867. It gradually became evi- dent that the town couldn ' t support both a high school and the Pierce Academy, and so the high school took over the Pierce Acad- emy building until 1873. At that date the town hall was completed, and the high school moved into four rooms of this building with Mr. J. H. Willoughby as principal. It was from here that the first real class was graduated in 1876. Since that time there have been only six other principals of Middleboro High School of whom the best known and best loved was without a doubt Walter Sampson. The town hall served as the high school until Bates School was finished in 1886, and that in turn served until it was out- grown and replaced by Memorial High in 1928. Thus we can see how the educational system in Middleboro was started, and how it has grown until today we find our- selved contemplating building still another high school in order to accommodate all the students satisfactorily. VALEDICTORY Four years have passed since we of the Class of 1946 entered Memorial High School. They have been troubled years, interrupted by the problems of a country at war and of then changing back to peace again, but they have been years that have prepared us to meet life. It is with the hope that the experiences and preparation of these years will enable us to make this world a better place in which to live that we say farewell to M. H. S. The time has come for us to part ; Our future we must face. ' From this clay forth ' it is our task To make the world a hetter place. Four years we ' ve spent in M. H. S. Four years of work and fun, But now on us new duties press ; Our work of life has just begun. We pledge ourselves to do the task That God has given us ; ' From this day forth ' and evermore We ' ll hold to this our sacred trust. LujoJ, u o Qi M IS.
