Se])teniber 6, 194. . when with hooks clutched in our hot little hands and hewildennent written all over our faces, we had linishcfl oiu first day of ex- ploring the vastness of Memorial High School, Included in this group was Al Ciauthier. Gatit. after careful consideration was elect- ed ])resident of our freshmen class with Wil- liam Washburn as vice-])resident and Jean Dewhurst and Lee X ' orton as secretary and treasurer res]X ' Ctively. The outstanding event of the year was the Ac(|uaintance Social where many a green frosh turned a brilliant red. In our second, not quite so bewildering year. Al Gauthier was again elected presi- dent with W ' illiam Washburn as vice-presi- dent. Patricia Charbonneau as secretary, and Daniel Anacki as treasurer. P y far the most outstanding event of the year was the arrival of Joy Cobb from Woodstock. ' t. ( ermont, that is!). Another newcomer was faculty member ] Ir. Philip Johnson. Although Air. Johnson stayed but one year, he will not be forgotten by the class of ' 47. W e welcomed another addition to the facultv when Aliss Dorothy Wetherell became our so])homore I ' nglish teacher. ] Iiss Wetherell won many friends with her wonderful per- sonality and all around teaching ability. Last but not least came Aliss Teresa Kell_ ' , who took Miss Armitage ' s place, when she join- ed the Red Cross. Next came the year of our Junior Prom, and, as in the two previous years. Al Gauthier was elected president, George Wood was voted vice-president. Barbara IMartin secre- tar -, and Ovell Bennett as treasurer. Crowd- ing our Junior Prom for place in our list of events was the arrival of Air. Elliot Allen, teacher of American history and biology. Mr. Allen is perhaps more popular with the feminine ( including Barbara Ronan ) mem- bers of our class, but that is easilv understood after one look at his lankv 6 ' plus build. At last, the year of all years, we are now seniors. In this our year of glory, Bill ( I ' m not a wolf, I ' m just friendly) ' ashburn was elected president. Jim Hargraves vice-presi- dent, Claire D ' Melia secretary, and Carl ] Ietzler treasurer. This year we had the best Middleboro Lligh record in basketball ever compiled when we finished the first eighteen games undefeated and won the South Shore Tournament. But all good things must come to an end as Middleboro lost to Reading in the first round of the Boston Gar- den Tourney. Our valedictorian is Evelyn (my favorite flavor is Almond) Snow, while our salutato- rian is Alma (Anchors A weigh) Canova. It hardly seems possible that these intelli- gent. (A ho discovered Lake Champlain? — dunno ! ) serious, (Who threw that spitball ? i honorable. (What ' s the answer to the fifth question ? I mature, ( Call for your comic book after class), young men and women are the same shrinking, silly little monsters that first haunted the corridors of M. ?L S. four short years ago. Memorial High School irk} Class of Forty - Seven Prophecy of Class of ' 47 CHARLES JURGELEWICZ JO ANNE ST.

Three beauty shops have opened in town, and the beau- ticians are Dotty Charron, Delores Wilmot, and Phyllis Wilbur. Phil ' s shop is at Ev- erett Square, and we hear that it is a won- derful location for a certain ray . Could it be that the other girls have other interests besides hair-dressing ? Having bought out Swifty ' s Gas Station, Jimmy Martins has really enlarged it.

Al is really a busy little beaver. During the fall he is playing for the Yanks. He uses the excuse of spring training down South to get away so he can g(j salt water fishing. When that girl goes after something, she really attains her goal. That ' s .Saint, of course, who is a very good dancer, too. Right, Jo Anne?

Girls, here ' s our chance to look beautiful by patronizing a former classmate. Big Pete Leonard has joined Horsie and amazes the people with his strong-man act in the same Big Top.

Pauline How- ard gets to know all the phone numbers. She even connects calls from Kalamazoo ! Ral])h Baker is the President ' s right- hand man in Moscow, and is going to take a refresher course at Harvard in prepara- tion for his forthcoming publication entitled All I See Is Red. In order to be an airplane hostess, you have to have special (jualifications. Elaine Rogers looks mighty trim in the uniform of the Pan-American Airways as she flies daily to Rio. Big Dave Smarsli is using the wing he developed raising chickens to good advan- tage. He is doing a good part of the hurl- ing and kicking for the Boston Yanks. In a small white cottage in South Carver, we find J Irs. Harry IVIorris (the former Alvina Joncas) busily cooking dinner for her husband. We hear she is a good cook, too. Some spring day when the south wind is blowing, drive on the new road and see our old pal, Sonny Campbell. He has so many chickens on his farm now. that he ' s giving them away to his old classmates. His chick- ens are laying eggs as big as the footballs he used to recover. Boy, what a college edu- cation will do for some people ! School isn ' t anything to sigh about when you have a swell teacher like E ' velyn Snow, is it, kids? Evelyn believes in pro- gressive education and is doing a marvelous job as a faculty member at her old x ' lma Mater.

Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1947 CLAIRE O ' MELIA We the most illustrious, amiable, and athletically inclined class ever to pass through the portals of M. H. S., realizing; that we are the only class sound in mind and body, do ordain and establish this gilt-edged docu- ment to be our last will and testament. We, the outstanding class of ' 47, knowing that it will be used in the future, leave our slogan. So it ' s never been done before — we ' ll do it to the (jive us time — we ' re young yet , juniors, hoping that they will be as original as we were. Dapper MacDonald and his Whiz Kids ' ' leave their trophies and undefeated record as a goal for next year ' s team in hopes that they will be able to do half as well. The Senior Play cast does will and be- queath its natural talents for acting to next year ' s amateurs, knowing full well that no class will reach such heights of stardom. The graduating class in doing its bit to- ward public safety, leaves to Miss Erickson a new 1947 model, and in so doing impresses upon her that old familiar statement It ' s purely mechanical. The female athletes do will and bequeath their time-worn uniforms to the unfortunate gals of future years. Agnes Alger leaves her ability to make and keep friends to all the (ahem) shv stu- dents of M. H. S. We bequeath to M. H. S. Claire Devlin ' s staccato sneeze to echo through the corri- dors of this famed school along with the laughter of the Class of ' 47.

George Wood bequeaths his curly hair to all the underclassmen sporting crew-cuts so that they too will be a hero in the eyes of the females.

(T had an operation) Sturgis be- queaths her gift of gab to Phyllis Holt, real- izing that she will put it to good use. Pete Dodge. Ph}-llis Austin, Mansfield Whitney, Barbara Ronon, and Jo Anne St. Amand leave their witty talents to Mr. Nlarch in order that he may better use his library of jokes. ( )ur superb musicians will their musical talents to the energetic sophomores, hoping that they will add rather than detract from Mr. Churchill ' s classes. Popular man about town. Bill Washburn, leaves his book of lines that never failed, to up-and-coming Dick Westgate. The book is entitled VOU BRING OUT THE SAV- AGE IN ME. We bequeath Danny Anacki ' s blush to a.11 the future students of M. H. S. who no doubt will have need of it before they grad- uate. We, the class of ' 47. have drawn up this, our last will and testament, and have had it witnessed by four capable and well-known members of the faculty. We, the undersigned, realizing the hidden potentialities of this great class, have hereby witnessed this document to be the last will and testament of the Class of 1947.

After rolling through the regular schedule of eighteen games, the Whiz Kids went on to cop the South Shore Tournament and to receive an invitation to the Tecli Tourney in the Boston Garden. This was the first time in the history of the school that either of these honors had been achieved. . s for the team itself, it displayed the finest all round team-work possible. The class of ' 47 was well represented, with four of the five being seniors.

Girls ' Hockey and Basketball VIRGINLA BARTLETT, Coach Getting under way shortly after school opened, varsity hockey players found that, after an easy summer, conditioning drills were necessary. These, along with technique practice, followed under the excellent supervision of Miss Bartlett and Miss Whitty, who taught the defensive and offensive players respectively. Jean Dewhurst and Flor- ence Varney were elected co-captains. The stand- ing for the season was two wins, two ties, and one defeat. Opening the season with a victory over Ware- ham and electing Claire O ' Melia and Agnes A ge as co-captains, the first team fared well all through the season. This was due to the combined efforts of Miss Bartlett and Miss Whitty, who coached the forwards and guards respectively. The final record for the Middleboro firsts was five wins, and, at the hands of Oliver Ames of North Easton, HENRY BATTIS, During the first weeks of September, 1946, the practice field of Middleboro High was the scene of training for the school ' s football squad. With keen competition for many positions bolstered by the return of several illustrious senior lettermen, the building of a fine team seemed inevitable. Starting the season inauspiciously with a 13-7 loss to Stetson High, Middleboro gathered speed as the year progressed, and the final analysis showed five wins, two losses, and three ties. Featured in the team ' s victories were a 7-6 win over Plymouth, and an 18-0 upset over Taunton High, and, of course, the cherished victoory over Bridgewater, 18-0, which gave our school the first leg on the new Lion ' s trophy. E ' ELYN W HITTY, Assistant Coach two losses. Claire Devlin with 69 points to her credit was the high scorer. Orchids to her and the rest of the team for a successful season.

Memorial Hi h School Or) Class of Forty - Seven Essay and Salutatory ALMA CANOVA BARUCH SPINOZA. A MAN AMONG AIEN Superintendent Gushing, Principal March, teachers, parents, and friends : Now tliat we of the Glass of ' 47 have arrived at the end of our high school days, we would like to thank you for all you have done for us. We know the past four years have re- c|uired as much effort on your part as they have on ours. We want you to know we are grateful for all the guidance you have given us and hope we will live u]) to }our expectations. For my classmates and myself I ' d like to say to you, Hello. Glad to see you. All nohle things are as difficult as they are rare. The man who said that sacrificed his entire life for the attainment of a goal, so he knew what he was speakin g of. You ' d like that man. Spinoza was his name — Baruch Spinoza. He was a phil- osopher, l)ut don ' t let that frighten you he- cause ])hilosophers are human — perhaps more human than most of us hecause of their intense interest in and nearness to life. Baruch Spinoza, who lived in Holland in the 17th century, is considered one of the greatest jjhilosophers of all times. He develo])ed a new theory called Spinozism wherehy God is the world. Each blade of grass, each lowly worm, and each thought of man, according to Spinoza, are import- ant parts in the eternal pattern of God. Most philosophers since his time have shown traces of Spinozism. The German philoso- ])her Hegel went so far as to say that to be a i)hilosoi)her one must first be a Spino- zist. As a small l)oy, Baruch Spinoza was taken to Amsterdam In- his Portugese- Jewish parents who were escaping perse- cution. He and his two sisters were edu- cated in the Jewisli faith, but Baruch was a deep thinker and soon found he could not be satisfied with the beliefs of his church. As a result, he was excommunicated from the Synagogue and disowned by his family, With this, he changed his name Baruch, meaning blessed, to its Lat ' n equivalent, Benedict. Like all Jewish boys of that time, Spinoza was taught a trade — that of ] olishing lenses. He earned his living in this man- ner. In fact, he gained a reputation as an o])tician long before he was recognized as a philosopher. Most of Spinoza ' s life was s])ent study- ing; he had no thoughts of romance. His name has been coupled romantically with that of the daughter of one of his professors, but this idea has I)een disproved. Spinoza lived alone for the most part, but was a friendly person. He was a very cordial host to those friends who visited him. although he never took the time to call on others. He liked drawing and drew charcoal portraits of his friends and him- self. His amusements were simple. He enjoyed smoking his pipe, and he spent many hours watching spiders build their webs as he spun the threads of his own philosophy. The quarrels of spiders were a constant source of entertainment for him, but the greater part of his day was sj ent in severe mental work. Upon the death of his father, Spinoza ' s greedy sisters endeavored to squeeze him out of his share of the inheritance on the ground that he was an outcast and a here- tic. He took the case to court, won, and tlien turned the money over to his sisters. Spinoza ' s interest in the matter was en- tirely for justice, not money, for Baruch Spinoza was not a lover of worldly goods. His love lav in God. Memorial High School Class of Forty - Seven Sjjinoza soon began to he recognized for liis remarkable mind. One of the few l)ool s to he pul)hshed during his lifetime was his Trachtits Thcolof ico-Politiciis, which came out when he was thirty-eight years of age. This book advf)cates complete freedom of speech and thought, and consti- tutes an early attempt at Biblical criticism. Now, at a time when freedom of speech and thought are major issues, it is inter- esting to note that this man, in the 17th century, was looking forward to the time when these two freedoms would be practiced universally. The ideas in this book were too revolutionar} ' for the i:ieople of his day to accept or even tolerate. Consequently, the volum e was met with stormy protest. Spinoza was once ofifered a chair of philo- sophy at the University of Heidelberg, but refused, feeling that in this position it would be impossible for him to maintain a complete freedom for the expression of his views. The man ' s greatest work is his book Ethics in which he sets forth a merciful God in a New Testament of his own. This book is an excellent example of the uni- versal mentality of the ])hilosopher. Com- ]50sed in Latin and in geometric form, it is Greek in its idealism, Italian in its content (based upon the j antheism of Bruno), French in its foundation (developing the theory of Descartes), and Hebrew in its faith. Sjiinoza had never been robust and had for years been suffering from a disease of the lungs which, in those days, never al- lowed its victims to escape. All that was mortal of Baruch Spinoza quietly passed away one Sunday afternoon when the man was in his forty-fourth year. During his last few hours he must not have been sad, for he believed in the glorious immortality of the soul He must have been comforted b - the thought that he had accomplished his goal and had pointed out to mankind the road to complete happiness. Louis Unter- meyer had in mind a man like Sj inoza when he wrote ; From compromise and things half-done Keep me, with stern and stubbon pride ; And when, at last, the fight is won, God, keep me still unsatisfied. Memorial High ScKool i } Class of Forty - Seven Essay and Valedictory EVELYN SXOW EMILY DICKLXSOX. AMERICAX T ' ( )E ' I ' m n()l)ody ! W ho are you? Are ou nol)ody, too? Tlien there ' s a pair of us — don ' t tell ! They ' d banish us, you know. If I read a hook, and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. These were the words of Emily Dickin- son, a poet whose face was dominated by large haunting eyes, who had hair the color of bronze chestnut, and a bubbling persona- lity. If you ' ve heard of her before, you ])robably think she ' s a little queer — I don ' t ])lame you. A woman who lived in seclusion in Amherst, always wore white, and poured her emotions into poetry does seem queer until you understand what made her that way. L ' p until the time she went to college, her life followed an ordinary course. She was born on December 10, 1830, in the forbidding atmosphere of a Puritan house- hold, and went through school without any difficulty. If she were in school today, we would envy her ability, especially in writing compositions. After attending Amherst Academy, her ambition to go to ] It. Holyoke was fulfilled. There she discovered her inability to be- lieve in the Puritan religion as others around her did. She had not yet made her peace with God as all (jther good Puritans did. Her attitude toward church was : Some keep the .Sabbath going to church, I keep it staying at home With a bobolink for a chorister And an orchard for a dome. College over, she went home to take an active part in the town life. She began a search for someone who coukl rive her intellectual and s])iritual guidance. On a trip to ' ashington, she found that someone, l)Ut he was married. In her day, divorces weren ' t thought of, and a girl just went home with a broken heart to recover as best she could. Her words to describe the afifair were : I asked no other thing, no other was denied. In other words, the one thing she really wanted was denied her. When our world is torn, and you don ' t know where to turn, what do } ' 0u do? Some of us ])lay the jiiano or go for a walk — I mily Dickinson turned to poetry as an outlet for her emotions. At home, folknving her disappointment, she began to prefer privacy, a natural thing for a New England spinster. This pre- ference, however, grew into a fear of pry- ing eyes. Her soul selected its own society, then shut the door. To live was so startling that it left little time for other occui)ations. Although she was ver ' much an indi- vidual, her ]X)etry was not without the influence of her times. Her instinct for comedy, her language and grammar, her love of exact phrases and words, are all an out- growth of the times she lived in. For an individual touch, she used off rhyme, that is, used words which at first hearing seem to rhyme but which really don ' t, and she added flavor to her verses with the use of strange grammar. The chief thing which attracts one to her poems, however, is her ability to express herself. Of a l)ook she says : There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away Xor any coursers like a page C]{ jjrancing poetry. Memorial High School Class of Forty - Seven Notice her use of off-rhyme in this ix)em. Hsten to away and poetry. During- her life, she was unwilling to have her poems published — she wouldn ' t risk the chance of being laughed at. Any- wa} ' . according to her : Publication is the auction Of the mind of man. She said it was dreary to be somebody and public, like a frog. To settle the mat- ter she says. If fame belonged to me, I could not escape her. She did have an audience, however : her friends to whom she wrote and enclosed poems ; the children to whom she lowered baskets of goodies with a poem attached ; and a critic, Thomas W ' entworth Higginson, to whom she ap- l ealed, Is my verse alive? Today she has a large audience, as her poems are very popular and her biography is a best-seller — she ' s no longer a nobody. .A little world was hers, but since she looked on life as ])ain leading to death, she didn ' t think she was missing anything. Her descri])tion of her action is : I took m ' ])ower in ni}- hand And went against the world ; ' Twas not so much as David had. But I was twice as bold. Queer? Well, Shakespeare once said that all the world is mad. She merely enjoyed a ha]:)pier, more talented form of madness than we. A ' ALEDICTORY It is with regret that we say farewell to M. H. S.. for we have made many friends with whom we have had good times. Be- sides the fun the 3 ' ears haA-e held serious moments. We ' ve seen the end of a war and the beginning of the peace. INIay we use the things that we have learned to keep that peace and to become better citizens of the world.
