I 3 '5' MbMORIAL HiGH SCHOOL Thre ilakmad alll: clday WWGFCL 'Tis diploma time again. As your principal signs the many diplomas, he has time to think what a diploma means generally and what it may mean to each of the members of the class. The diploma must mean something to employers because, for many kinds of work, the diploma is required. It is no wonder employers prefer high school graduates when one realizes these persons have completed more than two thousand separate assignments for various teachers. They have attended school hundreds of days, an achievement which is much like holding a steady job for four years. Such accomplishment is evidence of some degree of dependability and is proof that one has learned to work with many people. The opportunities of raking responsibility for, and becoming a leader in, school activities is also important to employers. There are many advantages of guidance in education, vocational, and personal problems which the non-graduate does not enjoy. Whztt the diploma means to each individual, that person himself knows best. lt may mean that he won the diploma as easily as possible, The certi- hcate may mean that he did his best and that he took advantage of his opportunities to be somebody. School records measure the quality of each one's work. Graduation to all marks the commencement of something greater-- higher education or the beginning of one's life work. In any case, the diploma is a challenge to each graduate to live up to what is expected of the person who has had the advantages of a high-school education. Four THE CENTENNIAL-1950 EDITORIALS 'A' if? if allay 'ML goffowg j0l'Yl0l'l'0l,U 2 olLaJ,, OUR class has an opportunity to go as far as our country has. Our country started under the leadership of England and remained there until it had a revolution. For several years after this it had a very uncertain standing, and then it started upward on a long hard road. It had its troubles, its wars, and its successes, but now it has become the leading nation of the world. Our class has the same opportunity. We have been under the leadership of our school, but now we are going to have our own revolu- tion. We are going to be in that uncertain position. We are going to start that long up- ward climb, but if we plan to go to the top, we will need help during our troubles. We will have to follow our country's pattern. IN GOD WE TRUST became its favorite motto, even on minted coins. If we adopt the same slogan, we will achieve, as it did, leadership in our world of tomorrow. Frank Whitney, Associate Editor -fx if aff we .yllllJl'0JtA 21710 FOR the hundredth time, rows of Middleboro boys and girls have marched solemnly to the platform, for the hundredth time, they have eagerly received their diplomas, and for the hundredth time, a group of students stand on the uncertain threshold to the future. Styles have changed and the jitterbug has replaced the Charleston, but the future-the future hasn't changed. It still lies before us promising a mul- titude of things both good and bad, and as always, it lies uncertain. True, we, the class of 1950, have more opportunities than the class of 1850, but we will have to struggle for our goals just as they did then. Gallup polls prove that more of us will be going to schools of higher learning than ever before, but this only follows hand in hand with the raised standard of living. It isn't any easier to get a job now than it was then, but our possibilities are un- limited. Our schoolwork is neither harder nor easier than it was a hundred years ago, but we do have a wider variety of subjects to choose from. This is the centennial of graduating classes from an organized school system in the town of Middleboro, yet it is nothing but a point on the road of life which no one will remember except those who are graduating.

MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL Moforg offde john Maltair THE class of '50 started its career in Mem- orial High School in the autumn of 1946. For its freshman year the class elected Paul Callan president, Patricia Dodge vice-president, Carolyn Alger secretary, and William Kennedy treasurer. This year also marked the addition of Nancy Mercer to the class. Nancy transferred during the latter half of the year from a school in Connecticut. With sports, socials, and studies the class soon began to eam the unique and en- viable position that it has today. During the sophomore year the Class of '50 continued on the road of success and elected William Kennedy president, Bruce Matheson vice-president, Marjorie Smith secretary, and Elizabeth Howard treasurer. This year was also notable for the addition of three new students -Marilyn Kuechler, Wilbert Larson, and Rich- ard Holt. It cannot be doubted that these three students contributed much to our class, each in his own way. The Class of '50 as juniors began the third year of its high school life in September, 1948. For this memorable year Ray Wood was chosen president, Bruce Matheson vice-president, Betty Howard secretary, and Patricia Dodge treasurer. Also at various times during that year Edward Morrissey, Donald Garbitt, and Ann Kuppers became new members in our steadily growing student body. In our junior year we became the first class in M.H.S. history to adopt a system of Class Savings. This plan was so designed that a stu- dent by paying fifty cents a month for two school years would have ten dollars at the end of his senior year to pay for personal gradu- ation expenses, and that those not fully com- pleting their payments would have to meet their expenses as they occurred out of their own pockets. A great deal of credit for the success of this Class Savings Program is due to its able manageress, Carolyn Alger. and her staff of col- lectors. Further, since this program has met with so much success in our class, it is reason- ably safe to surmise that it will become a per- manent institution in our dear old alma mater. The great social event of our junior year was, of course, the Junior Prom. This formal dance took place April 29, 19493 and with Ned Barry and his New Englanders orchestra supplying Twenty-three 66144 o 7950 the music, it turned out to be one of the best school functions of the year. That long awaited day, the one that seemed ever so distant a few years before, finally arrived when we became seniors. This year will per- haps be more cherished by us than any other for it seemed to culminate all the friendships and treasured memories we had acquired during our happy days in M.H.S. Our class officers for this year were Bruce Matheson president, Ron- ald Falconeiri vice-president, Faith Stetson sec- retary, and Marjorie Smith treasurer. Many of our bright, sunny week ends during the Fall were spent in attendance at the football games. There we had the opportunity of seeing the scintillating performances of many of our star athletes. We shall long remember the touchdown runs of Paul Roberts. the driving power of Ray Wood. the ability of Stuart John- son and john Danielson to hold the line, and the clevemess of Dick Houlihan in calling the right signals at the right time. At these games we shall also remember the never faltering spirit of the cheering souad led by Betty Howard. Other senior members of the cheering snuad were Frances jones and joan Zilonis. Then also in connection with the football season we cannot forget the colorful pageantry of the an- nual Thanksgiving Day games, the rallies, and the football dances. The senior play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, certainly showed that our class wasn't lacking in dramatic ability. The play was under the direction of Miss Rachael Alden and the members of the cast were: Bruce Matheson, Frances Jones. Anita Mendall. Frank Whitney, Pauline Saunders, Jason Andrews, Sophie So- wyrda, Walter McCrillis, Nicholas Martin, Pa- tricia Dodge, Nancy Mercer, Frederick Gove, Carolyn Alger, Mafalda Iampietro, Barbara Armstrong. Ronald Falconeiri, and William Penniman. On the night of its presentation the play was attended by a full house and a very appreciative audience. Many thanks for the success of the play are also in order for those who performed many important though little noted duties behind the curtains. The Class of '50 certainly possessed a rare ability for music judging by its large number of fine instrumentalists. Some of the musicians of note were pianists, Patricia Dodge and Twenty-four Carolyn Alger, trombone players Bruce Mathe- son, Alan Lindsay, Faith Stetson, and Frederick Goveg trumpet players, Pauline Saunders, Wal- ter McCrillis, John Danielson, and Duane Wheeler, and drummer, William Penniman. These instrumentalists with the exception of the pianists performed at an assembly and at the band concert one of the most stirring con- certos ever to be played by such a group. These accomplished music enthusiasts certainly de- serve our highest praise. The scholastic rating of the Class of '50 was commendable for it was the highest in the school's history. There were thirty-two mem- bers of our class enrolled as members in the Pro Merito Society. This was the most ever to have come from a single senior class. The reason for this, of course, was simple for in order to keep up to a valedictorian like Frances jones and a salutatorian like Bruce Matheson the rest of the class just had to bear down and study. During our four years of high school life many of the class had shown themselves out- standing in some particular field. For instance, in the literary Held there was Jason Andrews, who was the hard working and capable editor THE CENTENNIAL--1950 of the Sacbem. Then there was Frances jones, editor of the Newswriters' Club, who saw to it that interesting and informative articles ap- peared in the Middleboro High School Notes section of the Gazette. And last, but certainly not least, was Sophie Sowryda, editor of the yearbook, in whose able hands depended its great success. In the highly complex political field the President of the Student Council, Patil Callan, occupied the most prominent position. Paul did a good job of maintaining order and eificiency in our student government. Richard Picone also deserved our greatest admiration for he was chosen from among all the F.F.A. boys of the state to receive the coveted Star Farmer Award. just as the members of that first class to graduate from Middleboro High School, the Class of 1850, were pioneers in the Westward expansion of our great country, we the Class of 1950 must be pioneers in our own age. The atomic era we now live in is ever so much larger and more demanding than that former period in history, but if we proceed with the same indomitable spirit that these early pioneers did, we shall meet the challenge of our times with their same crowning success. r Ol I QW l AD , I W E F 'KD MV Q LP Q A Twenty-six THE CENTENNIAI.-1950 CAM P010 QC? ki' 1 JASON ANDREWS, prominent Massachusetts Institute of Technology biologist, has discovered the basis of protoplasm.

He didn't have a chance after PAULINE SAUNDERS got into the swing of things. Since MARJORIE SMITH has become private secretary to the President of the United States, she hasn't had time for her other outside in- terests. Too bad fellows.

To repay this debt we are not going to be content with mere oral thank you's, but rather we hope to demonstrate our appreciation by doing our best to become good citizens. Bruce Matheson ALTHOUGH I could have chosen a sport that has seen more changes during the past fifty years, I have chosen baseball because it is the most typically American. Since it originated in America it has gradually become a part of our everyday lives, with world series headlines taking precedence over international news. What neighborhood is without its sandlot- what boy doesn't know the names and averages of the major leaguers better than his school lessons? As Robert Smith said. There is nothing in the world like baseballg and base- ball, in its proper form, exists only among Americans! If you had seen a game played in 1900 and then could have compared it to one played in 1950. vou would have noticed verv little differ- ence. The rules have not been altered grearlv and the srvle of play has changed onlv slighrlv. The big difference is behind the scenes. In short. baseball has become big business during the half century. To start with, salaries have changed drastical- lv. Prior to the 1920's, salaries were relatively low. Honus Wagner. one of the greatest short- stops of all time, received onlv 310,000 for his services in 1905. This salarv. meagre by todav's standards, made him the highest paid plaver in the league. Rube Waddell. the best pitcher in the American League during the 1900's, was paid only 33.000 a year by Philadelphia. Sal- aries gradually began to rise, however, and when Babe Ruth received 380,000 at his peak in the 1920's, it was considered unmatchable. Even this has been topped in our time, with joe DiMaggio getting 8100,000 for the 1950 season and Ted Williams a cool S125,000. To supply themselves with available new talent, the major league clubs have established intricate farm systems. Sport Life has found that all these farm teams together form 58 minor leagues operating in 438 cities. and em- ploying 9,000 players. In 1949, 142 of the latter total were recalled by major league clubs. 118 were purchased, and 21 were drafted. With such a crop of rookies. it is easy to see why the major leagues are able to produce the best brand of baseball. In addition to salaries and farm systems, at- tendance and fan interest has steadily increased since 1900. This has been due to a number of factors. Club owners pay huge bonuses to ob- tain the contracts of players like Robin Roberts of the Phils, not only to win ball games, but also to draw the crowds. Fans get a great deal of delight in watching a highly paid ballplaver knock the cover off the ball or notch ten strike- outs. In fact they seem to get more fun out of giving the bronx cheer to a 8125.000 a year star than to a mediocre player. Besides the lure of the game and its stars, owners had to entice fans by starting such institutions as night games and ladies' days. There are many people who are unable to attend day games and others who dislike day baseball to whom night games are just what the doctor ordered. Many women, seeing their first game on ladies' day, are per- suaded to come again even when they must pay. Even though you can't attend the ball park too frequently, there are still radio and television to keep you in contact with your favorite sport. The second major change in baseball has been the acceptance of negro players in the organized leagues. Before October 23, 1945, there were Thirty-two Jim Crow conditions throughout the or- ganized leagues. The only possible way a negro player could participate professionally was to sign with an all-negro club. The first and most famous of these all-colored teams was the Cuban Giants, originally made up of the dining-room crew of the Argyle Hotel in Babylon, Long Island, and managed by the headwaiter, Frank Thompson. The ironical thing about these jim Crow conditions was that neither the colored teams nor their players were inferior to those of the whites. The Mohawk Giants shut out Walter Johnsons All-Stars in a post-season game in 1914. The Giants' pitcher was a man named Wickware, who never played a major league game, and who came from Johnsons home town. Wickware struck out seventeen of johnson's big-league teammates. In 1915 Cyclone Joe Williams, pitcher for the Lincoln Giants, pitched and won two games against the champion Phillies. These two games raised such a fuss that there were no more meetings between complete big-league teams and Negro teams. The leagues adonred a ruling that no more than four members of any one team could play to- gether in oost-season games. In this way the prestige of the big-name teams was protected, THE CENTENNIAL--1950 and those who had seen a dire threat to our social structure in the way white champions were being defeated by colored men could sit back and breathe easily for awhile. On October 23, 1945, President Hector Racine of the Montreal Baseball Club an- nounced the signing of a Negro player named john Roosevelt Robinson. The Montreal team was the top rung in the ladder of Brooklyn Dodger farms, and the next logical move, if Robinson were to succeed, would be to move him to Brooklyn. As you are aware. Jackie made Rookie of the Year honors in 1947 and has not faltered once. Other negro players such as Sammy Jethroe of the Braves and Larry Doby of the Indians have made the grade, and it appears that negroes have come to be rated on their ability alone. No doubt baseball will see in the future other changes that I have not mentioned, but a man will always be able to watch a game. forget his troubles for a few hours. and be as young again as when he Hrst stepped nervously to the bat- ter's box. Above all else, it will never cease to be the American game. aft if it V A L E D I C T O R Y we progress of giclucafion - 50 ears FOR the past four years we of the class of 1950 have shared temporary success and failure. Tonight we realize that the time has come for each to decide the individual pathway of his future. With heavy hearts we acknowledge the fact that we must say good-byeg but though we leave much behind, we take much with us. So with high hope we look to the future, fully aware that having followed faithfully, we may lead capably. Frances jones EDUCATION is a shadow cast by society. Educational changes are a reflection of so- ciety and its characteristics. Therefore, you as society have had a great deal to do with the progress of education. Most of us realize that the problems of American citizens today are far more complicated than they were five decades ago. But do we realize how much these problems have affected the student? Because of the increased complexity in our age of per- suasion and propaganda, students today must have a wider field of knowledge and keener power of analysis if they are to succeed. It would be impossible to consider in derail the history of education during the past fifty years. I will attempt to bring to your attention only the high points and main trends. Changes? Yes, indeed. EDUCATION HAS SEEN MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL MANY CHANGES IN THE PAST FIFTY YEARS. As we review this period our first impressions are those of expansion and diver- sincation. We find that there have been cer- tain derinite curricular changes. lfor example, the tools ot learning, such as books, have not only increased in number but have also im- proved in quality. furthermore, the importance of supervised study and organized guidance, and the place or extra-curricular activities are recognized. You might be interested to know that there are ten times as many pupils going to high school today and six times as many going to college. However, education is get- ting away from numbers as more and more emphasis is being placed on the lND1VIDUAL. Today the American school system seeks to educate all the children of all the people. Stu- dents are considered in the light ot their vary- ing tastes and capacities. A booklet put out by the Federal Security Agency, Office of Edu- cation, has best expressed this consideration of the individual in the concise statement, Look for the person in the student. Even the role of democracy has found room for expansion in education. Today the training for citizenship and development of character is stressed more than ever before. just as we have seen improvements in the schools curriculum, so also we discover better methods in training teachers. Replacing the two-year normal school of past generations is the four-year teachers' college. As a result of this change, teaching has been elevated so that it is now recognized as a profession. The progress of our school system today has been aided greatly by various educational tech- niques and programs. One of the increasingly important features in the scientific field is that of audio-visual instruction. This method ranges Thirty-three all the way from teaching with the use of edu- cational Elms and recordings to participation in field trips. As for the other educational aids, one cannot overestimate the advantages of a well-rounded testing program. This compar- atively new program measures effectiveness of instruction. Also, in addition to measuring progress it is used to diagnose pupil difficulties and aid successful guidance programs. These guidance programs, which help the future plan- ning of students, are continually growing in importance. In the present competitive world there is a definite place for them with edu- cational qualifications for positions steadily ris- ing. Although a grammar education was ade- quate yesterday, today a high school diploma is essential. In reviewing the changes in education during the past fifty years, we have accepted the idea that society has been the most influencial factor. Indeed, social, economic, and political aspects all eventually affect our schools. At the halfway point in this century scientific developments are more numerous and varied than ever before. Likewise, we find the same is true of educational influences and agencies. However, this is not enough. Progress in education has not come to a standstill. It must keep up with society in adventure appeal by moving more swiftly than the automobile or the airplane. It must keep up with society in eye appeal by compelling more attention than the moving picture or tele- vision set. And above all it must keep up with society in ear appeal by speaking more loudly than the radio. From following the progress of education during the past fifty years we have come to realize with professor John Dewey that, The school is not preparation for life: it is life.

With the co-captains Raymond Wood and Paul Roberts running, punting, place kick- ing, and passing, the team was steered to a record of six victories and three defeats. Not enough mention can be made of the brain work used by quarterback Richard Houlihan. How- ever, he was helped by a very strong line and by two very capable ends, Paul Callan and Robert Corti. Bob was the highest scoring member of the team. As a whole, the team finished the season with a bang by beating Bridgewater on Thanksgiving morning. Mid- dleboro has had two legs on the Lions Club Trophy already, so by the victory this year, Middleboro retired the trophy. af if fa' gwlefgaf Middleboro 48 ..............

The records of M.H.S. teams of previous years have been hard to equal. The team started the season right with four straight wins, but after meeting our old Nemesis, Plymouth, we promptly went awry. The captain, Richard Houlihan, was the only senior member who started regularly. However, we have one consolation, for next year's team will be experienced and should come through with an excellent season. Our record for the regular season was seven wins and nine defeats. In the tournament, we met Plymouth once again and found ourselves promptly out. Fifty-two THE CENTENNIAI.-l950 Magda!

Led by the ace hurling of Senior Bob Teceno, who has a record of five wins and no losses, and the equally good pitch- ing of junior Boyd Iseminger, who has a record of four wins and one loss, the team worked their way to the top of the league by defeating Roger Nickerson-center field Richard Fickert-right field first place Whitman to break a prevailing tie. Much of the credit, however, belongs to the hard hitting of Co-Captains Paul Roberts and Bob Corti, and junior Bob Brown. All totaled, the team won nine and lost one for a near per- fect record. During june, play-offs for the South Shore Championship were held with M.H.S. putting its best foot forward.
