femorial Higk School irk} Class of Forty - Seven CLASS HISTORY PHYLLIS AL ' STIN We all had waited twelve long years for the IMemorable Day. 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. AAIAND In a city hospital in New York, we find Agnes Alger, registered nurse, on the job, although we hear that her spare time is tak- en up studying about Wood . Also we hear that she may be given the position of head supervisor of nurses. A ' e predicted as much ! The cook in the Seafood Grill in Boston is none other than Celesta Athanasiou, and we hear that her friend Olive Beal visits her quite often when not working in ' alker ' s. Our old pal Joe Picone is doing a big bus- iness out West selling shoes. His specialty? .Suede shoes, naturally ! ] Iv. what com]3etition ! 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. Not only does he do a big Cape business in the summer, but it is rumored that Nemasket Transportation has so many trucks that Jim- my has to store them in his extra space. How about that, Tiger? Ginny Gates, buzzing around in her new Chevy-Baker, is still taking the gang to 1)asketball games. She Wood charge fares, but after Al she can afl: ord it, being pri- vate secretary to Gauthier ' s Russian Five. Big Rutt Snowden has inherited his brother Frank ' s bowling alleys and is doing great. In his spare time, he is taking flying lessons. As reporter of the Daily Bugle, Jean Gra- ham covers all the news of interest. Some of it is pretty exciting, too, but she loves everv minute of it. MAE SHING FRED JOHNSON bile waiting for the Navy to come home, . lice Murdoch is an office worker in a tex- tile company. .She visits quite often with Alice Nourse, who owns a restaurant on the Cape, and we hear that the steaks are de- licious . Tune in tonight and hear our versatile little quarterback, Al Gauthier, giving a play by play description of the night game be- tween McBride ' s (jiants and the Detroit Tigers. 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? It couldn ' t be that you learned that in Taunton, could it? .She is currently appearing in Taunton, describing some of her more vivid assignments. The Taunton audiences certainly ought to apjire- ciate her, too. Have you seen oiu own Danny Anacki .smiling forth on the billboards, advertising Pepsodent? Still smiling at the girls as they go by, Danny? In a hospital in Boston we find Betty Colvin and Theresa Duphily as registered nurses. We ' ll bet they are good ones. too. ' ho could remain down in the dumj ts lis- tening to Theresa ' s comical jokes? . l.so at the hospital is Majorie I ' ike, who makes frequent trips to the old home town between cases. Hugh Bigelow, Representative from lass- achusetts, just introduced a l)ill to prevent the sale of explosive ingredients. He was seen in the Congressional (Jrill dining, as usual, with a certain Titian Blond. As supervisor for the Lobl Manufactur- ing Company, Bernice l arley always gets
