MATHESON is completing, this year, her twenty-fifth season as supervisor of art in the town of Middleboro. The class of 1951 ext ends congratulations to you, Mrs. Matheson, for your fine work in raising to their present high level the standards maintained in the many art classes of our school system. And it is with gratitude that all your friends wish you much happiness and success in the future. EDITORIALS A Peaceful World Is peace too much to hope for in the world? Is peace precious enough to work for? Man has always wanted peace and has proved it by setting up such organizations for mutual con- cord as Ihe Hague conferences and the League of Nations, each of which was followed by a war more terrible than the previous. We now have the United Nations — The greatest threat to world peace today is the ominous buildup of Russia and her communist satellites, who even now are fight- ing a cold war. We are beginning to win this contest by penetrating the iron curtain with the truth about democracy. Therefore, if we are to make our kind of government the incentive which will cause a change in political thinking among certain peoples, we must pull together at home and make democracy really work. Is war inevitable? General Douglas Mac- Arthur, former supreme commander of the armed forces of the United Nations and the United States in the Far East, said: I do not feel that war is inevitable. I believe that the great masses of the world are inevitably against war. I believe that is so among the Russian masses just as it is among our people. It is up to you — the graduating class of 1951. It is uD to each and every one of you to make democracy work and thus through understanding prevent war. Our goal — a peaceful world! Laurence Osborne Editor-in-Chief imaron PROGRESS is the shadow of time, but time can pass without progress. The necessary elements for progress are time plus man ' s ingenuity. In your mind, picture time as a bird in flight and progress as its shadow reflected upon the ground. To complete the metaphor you must consider the sun as the most import- ant factor, for without light no shadow can be cast. Man ' s intelligence is thus comparable to the sun in reality. The progress we make in school is the shadow of time spent. Higher education today a necessity, is the goal for which we strive in our four years. Our success in achieving this, will determine our success in later years. Only in the development of intelligence can man cause time to pass with progress. Having in mind that educational development takes time, therefore, we should try to use our time in school sensibly so that we may help create a better world for the future. Earl Banta Associate Editor A Challenge to 1951 NCE more your principal watches pupils leave for work, further school- ing, enlistment, or home making. You are people whom he has tried to counsel that you might become the successful and respected persons you can become. He has tried to help you to realize your hopes and ambitions. Need one wonder why he has a paternal interest in you especially since he worked in the same way with many of your parents? It is natural for imagination to lead your principal into the probable futures of his foster children. It is true that there is little to promise you by way of ease, plenty, and peace of mind, but never did the world yearn more for a generation of honest, civic-minded, young people. Never were gradu- ates so challenged with the need of a real enthusiasm for American demo- cracy — men who will be above price, free from hate and selfish greed. Life offers you the challenge of all time, perhaps with blood, sweat, and tears, but also a challenge with the rewards of satisfaction that come to those who serve well their fellow men. May the graduates in ' 51 be ready for their challenge! 4 Administration Principal, Mr. Lindsay March Asst.

First Team Second Team HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1951 Richard Maltais THE Class of ' 51 entered Memorial High School in September of 1947 with the goal of becoming a class that would be looked up to by both past and future classes with great ad- miration. For its freshman year the class elected Roger Nickerson, president; Carl Hewitt, vice- president; Joanne Powers, secretary; and Charles Kayajan, treasurer. With these able officers the Class of ' 51 truly started off in the right direc- tion. We welcomed to our ranks Eila Peltola, Eugene Robbins, and John Alley. As freshmen the Class of ' 5 1 immediately became recognized for its potential ability in athletics. The Class of ' 5 1 entered into its sophomore year with the reassurance of reaching its goal that much sooner as it elected Raymond Tripp for president, John Leonard, vice-president; Joanne Powers, secretary; and James Young, treasurer. Edward Cornell and John Selzer joined the class this year. Although no longer with us John i s still in the memory of his classmates. Although only in their second year at M.H.S. many members of the class had already stepped into the limelight. Alro in its sophomore year the class was recognized for its high scholastic standing. When September of ' 49 came around the Class of ' 51 as Juniors took another step to- ward its goal by electing Dick Wood, presi- dent; Luther Zai, vice-president; Joan Bisson- nette, treasurer; and Joanne Powers, secretary. The newcomers during the course of this year were Richard Gammon, Shirley Kinney, and Helen Skaradoski. As was noted in its freshman year our class had an unusual supply of good athletes. But let it not be said that the girls were outdone in this field, for cur most prominent athletes were not only Bobby Brown. Dick Wood, Bovd Iseminger, but also, Sally Alger and Joan Bis- . ' onnette. Other promising athletes were Carl Hewitt, Terrv Howard, Mary Gerrior. Nancy Lewoczko, Mary Lou Casey, Virginia Norris, and Marilyn Churchill. The big social event of the year was the Junior Prom, which was held on April 28, 1950, with Jerry Davis and his orchestra supply- ing an excellent selection of music for the occasion. At last the year arrived for which the class as a whole was striving. In September of 1959 we entered as seniors. The class can well be proud of the officers it elected to lead it in its most eventful year at M.H.S. Dick Wood, presi- dent; John Leonard, vice-president; and Joan Bissonnette, treasurer; were all elected for a second term. While Joanne Powers, serving her fourth year as a class officer, was elected secretary. With these four veteran politicians at the helm the class had nothing to worry about. The entire student body can be congratulated for its wise selection of Dick Butler as president of the Student Council for 1950-51. Dick Mal- tais was elected vice-president and Marilyn Churchill, secretary. Under Dick ' s able leader- ship the student council has come a long way this year. In its final year the class had one new ad- dition to its ranks, Shirley Butler. Although she has been with us for only a few months, she has become well liked by all, and we are very glad to have her with us. The senior play, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur ' s Court , was one of the best plays put on by a senior class in M.H.S. It was held at the Town Hall on December 8, 1950. Miss Alden directed the play with the able as- sistance of the student director, Margaret Kayajan. The members of the cast were Hank Bennett, John Leonard; Marion, Marilyn Churchill; Mrs. Bennett, Evelyn Dwyer; Mer- lin, Richard Maltais; King Arthur, Thomas O ' Rourke; Queen Guenevere, Jean Hale; Clar- ence, Laurence Osborne; Sir Sagramor, Vincent Jacintho; Elaine, Judith Kennedy; Sir Lancelot, George McCrillis; Sandy, Irene Malkosky; Queen Morgan LeFay, Audrey Sault; Speaker, George McCrillis. This play could not have become the great success that it was without the help of the many committees and the im- portant but little noted duties performed by various individuals. During the four years our class has spent in M.H.S., many members have shown particular ability in some field. Laurence Osborne, for instance, has become well versed in the literary field as editor of our year book, the Tinidfon, as has also Sally Alger as editor-in-chief of the Sachem. In agriculture the F.F.A. boys showed their ability by winning many awards. Eugene Rob- bins, Lawson Billings, and Robert Buck as members of a Dairy Judging Team won first place at the Brockton Fair. Eugene had the honor of being the highest individual in the cattle judging at the Brockton Fair, while Robert Buck won a bronze medal for outstand- ing achievement in his dairy project. William Gisetto won a bronze medal for his splendid work in electricity. Our class has been fortunate in having the vocal talent of Jacky Thompson, Nancy Dahl- quist, who wrote the music to our class ode, James Young, Dick Fickert, Donald Jewell, Christine Ray, and Sylvia Montrond. We have also gifted instrumentalists in Bobby Brown with the trumpet, Boyd Iseminger and Thomas O ' Rourke with the clarinet, Joan Bissonnette with the flute, and Clifford Wright with his versatility. It goes without saying that the Class of ' 51 has, without a doubt, reached the goal for which it was striving. We have before us now an even bigger goal. We must reach this goal not as a class but as individuals each going his own way. Our Goal: A Peaceful World, means more to us than just a class motto. It means an under- taking that will require perseverance and hard work to attain. The Class of ' 51 has enjoyed a fine record throughout its four years at M.H.S., and its deep desire to accept whatever challenge the future may hold in store will go a long way towards helping attain the goal that we all desire — A World At Peace. CLASS PROPHECY FOR 1951 By Judith Kennedy, Boyd Iseminger Merilyn Churchill and Vincent Jacintho THE twentieth reunion of Memorial High School, Class of 1951, was held April 28 in the Auditorium of the new Middleboro High School. Reverend ]ames Young, of the First Baptist Church, gave the invocation. Laurence Osborne, P resident of Osborne ' s Dry Goods Inc., acted as toastmaster. In honor of the occasion, Vice President of the United States, Thomas O ' Rourke. made a special trip to M.H.S. to speak on democracy in this country. The other speakers of the eve- ning were Dr. Terrance Howard, who told of his new unabridged dictionary of slang; Sally Alger, President of the Woman ' s Federation, who spoke of her book How to be a Housewife and Successful Social Worker; and Edwin Peter- son, Vice President of the A. F. of L. union, who gave a speech entitled Labor and You. Mr. Peterson obtained most of his material by listening attentively while in Problems of De- mocracy classes at M.H.S. Dick Fickert gave a speech on the many benefits derived from the Navy. The speech was entitled I Sail the Ocean Blue ; and Richard Wood gave a speech in answer to the question How ' s Business? Dick now owns his own business which manufactures yearly a vast number of adjustable desks. Ac- companying Mr. Wood on his trip was Miss Margie Donovan, his private secretary. Professor Raymond Tripp of Dartmouth College read portions of his new book Plant Life in the Antarctic. Roy Kinsman, Gene Robbing Robert Buck. and Warre ' n Wilson contributed fifty gallons of grape juice for the occasion. The juice was the result of many years of labor and experimenta- tion. Coach Nickerson of Springfield College an- nounced that there would be an hour of general confusion while there was a renewal of old acquaintances. Admirals Earl Bctnta, John Alley, and Walter Sepetjian were very much in evidence. Nurses Nancy Lewoczko, Dolores Carreiro, and Dorothy Malaguti, formally superintendents of Nurses at famous hospitals, were present with their husbands. Among other members of the military who were present were Admiral Joe Adams of the United States Navy; Richard Mills, Captain of the battleship M.H.S.; and Carl Hewttt, who had just completed an ocean voyage around the world. A number of former classmates who have succeeded in the world of music and art were in attendance. Heading the list was the rising young soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany, Miss Christine Ray. She was accompanied by Miss Nancy Dahlquist, who upon graduation from the Conservatory obtained a coveted posi- tion as a pianist with the companv. Miss Naomi Haynes, successful commercial artist, a oroducr of M.H.S. Art department and the Rhode Island School of Design, took time from her new job as chief advertisement illustrator for the Lux soap concern to renew old friendships. Miss Eila Peltola, owner of her own art studio, ac- companied Miss Haynes. One of the better known former members was present in the person of Mr. Charles Kaya- jan, assistant sports editor of the Christian Sci- ence Monitor, who made the trip with one of the finer minor league shortstops, Bobby Brown of Newark, who hopes to wear the garb of the New York Yankees in the near future. Another portion of the military was repre- sented by Major George McCrillis, who ob- tained a position as military advisor to the presi- dent some time after he graduated from the Military Academy at West Point. Everett Frizzell took time from work at his new Ford garage on Route 28 to attend the function. Misses Dorothy Falconeiri and Barbara But- ler of the secretarial staff of Jones and Peters, attorneys, made the trip from Boston. Miss Shirley Kinney of the Ajax Adding Machine Company also came from Boston, where she does clerical work in the main office of the firm. Captain Everett Casey, in charge of Naval Reserve Officers Training Course at Tufts Col- lege, attended with Rear Admiral Frederick Eaton of the president ' s newly set-up commis- sion in charge of Naval affairs. A high spot of the evening ' s activities was the appearance of Miss Jean Hale, one of the leading models from the Powers agency, who came from Alaska where she is posing for the Fuzzy Fur Parka Company. She was joined by Miss Merilyn Churchill, who is employed in the office of Dr. James Saunders, surgeon in Salt Lake City. Also making the long trip from west of the Mississippi was Mr. John Leonard, vice- president of the Wyoming Conservation Au- thority, and Mr. Luther Zai of the Oregon For- estry Service. John spent a good part of the evening swapping yarns with Dr. Joseph Jacin- tho of the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Florida. Coming from still further west was Mr. Walter Carmichael, who came from Rosedale, California, where he operates Chevrolet Sales. Skinny, as we knew him. negotiated the distance in three days, using his new cloud hopper Chevrolet which is equipped with wings fold- ing into the body. Miss Virginia Norris traveled, expenses paid, from Michigan, where she is personal secretary to Mr. George Morris of the Philip Morris cigarette concern. Mr. Richard Butler. 3rd Vice President of the East Boston Engineers Club, attended with Mr. Robert Mahoney, past president of the organization, who is now superintendent of road maintenance of the South Shore. Mr. Richard Gammon, made one of the shortest trips of any former member, in com- ing from the Middleboro First National store where he is Superintendent. Also making the long trip was Mr. Lorenzo Wood, Jr., who is assistant editor of the Middleboro Gazette. Th? Gazette, under the direction of Mr. Wood, plans very shortly to undergo an enlargement in facil- ities and in the near future will be published daily. Coming from another establishment in town was Miss Jane Cwihman, who is employed as secretary to the president of the Middleboro Savings Bank. Clifford Wright, celebrated concert organist, flew in just after his Carnegie Hall debut, ac- claimed by the critics to be the most sensa- tional in twenty years. Mr. Wright was seen chatting with Dr. Ray Jewell, past president of the American Society of Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Aeronautical, and Construction En- gineers, and professor of Engineering at M.I.T. Among the Navy men present were com- manders Hatch, Bartlett, Fernandes, Garafalo, Washburn, Richmond, and Lewis of the office of naval intelligence. They have collaborated on a new treatise of Naval science which they claim will enable the United States to maintain superiority on the Sea. Harold Carr, successful accountant and author of the new best seller Balancing Your Bookf the Easy Way, flew in from his office in Wash- ington. Mr. Carr was conversing with Richard Maltais, prominent youth leader and chairman of the national board of directors of the Y.M.C.A. Wayne Evans, chairman of the board of di- rectors of Lever Brothers Inc. and president of the American Association of Manufacturers, was delayed by a late plane from N. Y. In at- tendance with Mr. Evans were his personal secretaries and heads of their respective de- partments, the Misses Charlotte Burgo, Eleanor Brehaut, Barbara Freitas, and Lorraine Mor- rison. Seen talking with Mr. Evans ' aids were the former Rosemarie MacDougall. Jacki-e Thom - snn, Jean Murdoch, Irene Connolly, Marjorie Shaw, Evelyn Charron, Dorothy Lee, and Marion Long, who were present with their husbands. Discussing the current problems of agricul- ture and expressing anxiety over the recent drought, were farmers Lawson Billings of Wis- consin, William Gisetto of Montana, Frederick Pf ' rmenter of New Jersey, and John Kennedy of California. Late comers to the reunion were registered nurses Audrey Sault and Maurene Ingle se of the famed Lahey Clinic, and Silvia Montrond and Hazel Neu ' comb of the Mayo Clinic, hero- ines of the recent flood disaster. Making the trip from Boston were the Misses Joan Bissonnette and Mary Gerrior. They are both employed in the Gushing General Hos- pital, Miss Bissonnette in the depanment of Physiotherapy, and Miss Gerrior as the super- intendent of nurses. Chatting with Donald Houghton, star of stage, screen, and television, and recently polled the most popular singer in show business, were cartoonist Leslie Bradford, creator of Little Orphan Oliver, and dancer Joanne Gomes. After graduation with honors from the Fisher Business School of Boston, Miss Irene Malkoski and Miss Louise Warr obtained positions as teachers at the Fisher School. Miss Malkoski has revised the Gregg Simplified Shonhand system. Her new book is entitled Simplified Shorthand — Simplified. Miss Marilyn Shurtleff, who sported a beauti- ful diamond ring during her senior year at M.H.S., is no longer Miss Shunleff. Marilyn was married shortly after graduating. Both she and her husband were present at the reunion. Coach Iseminger of Brown and Coach Shea of Notre Dame had a long talk about revising the rules of baseball. The Misses Mary Lou Casey, head of the Mathematics Department; Barbara Tripp, head of the History Department; and Joanne Powers, head of the English Department of the new M.H.S. building, reminisced about the good old days at M.H.S. with the Misses Margaret Kayajan, Dolores Corsini, and Shirley Newton, who have the top secretarial jobs in town. Mademoiselle Evelyn Dwyer, famous hair dresser, chattered with Miss Leah Chartier, lead- ing model for Mills Bros. Inc., on the latest coiffure. The female representatives of the United States Navy were Pat Bassett and Virginia Keed- well. Pat and Virginia entered the Navy soon after graduation. Miss Shirley Butler, personal secretary to the President, drove up from Wahsington with Miss Judith Kennedy, who came back from Berlin, Germany, especially for the occasion. Pat Williams is now an Air Force wife and attended the meeting with her husband. Dave Moranville, prominent Lakeville select- man, attended with Edmund DeArruda, presi- dent of the Lakeville Broadcasting Company. Walter Thompson, president of the American Association of Ornithology, was there and was accompanied by the partners of the Madamoi- selle Gift Shop, Janice Perkins, Rose Marie Roberts, and Barbara Healey. Present also was Miss Irma Ramsden, who recently received the Pulitzer Prize for her out- standing book on psychology. Reverend Farmie Little, ordained two years ago, closed the reunion with the Benediction. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Class of 1951 By Mary Loucasey, Charlotte Durgo DE it remembered that we, the class of 1951 ■ of Memorial High School, in the town of Middleboro, in the county of Plymouth, in the state of Massachusetts, in the United States of America, being of sound mind and memory do make and ordain this last will and testament.

Fearless we look to horizons Which lie untouched by time. We go forward with courage blazing, Till the top of our goal we have climbed. II. From our peak we will gaze back at our school Which taught us to strive for success. We will always pay tribute to you, Our leader, our guide, M.H.S. Words by Audrey A. Sault Music by Nancy M. Dahlquist CO-VALEDICTORY With these exercises tonight, we the Class of 1951, have brought to a close a very important portion of our lives. Work and fun wisely supervised by our par- ents and our teachers have resulted in our acquiring much that is worthwhile. So it is with regret that we come to the end. Equipped thus with the training and experiences of the past four years, we tradi- tionally must face the future — a future which in no sense is untroubled — which is, rather, full of challenge. This is not, however, a time to be marked by inordinate solemnity or emotion, for what is a challenge but the greatest means to human hap- piness? Let us not, therefore, give way before this challenge — rather, let us accept it eagerly! Freedom From Want aii J- orter i er THE very first holiday ever celebrated by white men in New England was the Pil- grim ' s Thanksgiving of 1621, and thus we see our country in its infancy recognizing freedom from want as a basic need of life. Although even now we have not achieved a Utopia, we have realized this goal to the extent that you and I are living in a nation that allows its people the greatest security in the world in respect to food, shelter, and clothing. How many agencies have been established to help the needy, do you suppose? We have a splendid program of Social Security. Its coverage is vast and is as generous in its bene- fits as any to be found in the world. Social security constitutes legal recognition of the right to a job, to fair play, to sufficient food and cloth- ing, to adequate shelter and medical care, and to protection against pauperism in old age. We have, also, foundations created by wealthy families for the expressed purpose of helping our nation curb want. The Rockefeller Foundation, for instance, was chartered in 1913 for the purpose of promoting the well being of mankind throughout the world. A second would be the Russell Sage Foundation set up in 1907. The chief aim of this institution is to remove the causes of poverty and allow people to earn enough to have sanitary homes, wholesome food, and healthy children. A final instance is that of the fund established by Julius Rosewald, American merchant and philanthropist, in his name to improve the opportunities and living conditions of Negroes in America. Although these three agencies were set up by wealthy families, the Red Cross, perhaps the largest organization fighting to ease want in America, is contributed to by the co-opera- tive efforts of all our citizens. Its purpose is to try to alleviate misery throughout the world in the disasters of peace and war, and to bring help to sufferers of all races, nationalities, or religions. In addition, we should mention the Community Chest, the National Housing Agency, the Municipal Welfare Program, the Carnegie Institute, and finally the many funds which help to combat disease. While we have accomplished much that is good, as Americans, there are certain dangerous mental attitudes that we ' ll want to avoid in achieving ' Treedom from Want. One of these is the notion that our resources are inexhaustable. While we do have an abundant wealth in raw materials, we cannot continue at our present rate of use and waste and still be the richest nation in the world. We should prevent our farms from losing five hundred million dollars in value each year by soil erosion. We should have a campaign against the destruction of our wild life. We should not waste two-thirds of all the timber that is cut, as we are doing at the present. We must avoid waste of our resources! Secondly, we should avoid the dream of securing a Utopia in which nobody will want for anything. Such is not within the range of human possibility. We do, however, want a world in which no one need want for the basic necessities of life. Thirdly, we must avoid the idea that the so-called Welfare State will grant its citizens complete security. According to Nelson Criu- shank, the director of social insurance activities for the A.F. of L., a Welfare State is dangerous for it removes incentives from the individual, stifles initiative, and becomes inevitable master of the people it sets out to serve. What happens if we accept the Welfare State? That minute, the idea that the state is made for the man will be reversed. However, as Al Smith shrewdly said: You can ' t beat something with nothing. It is not enough merely to oppose the welfare state. We must offer something better. We can ' t arouse enthusiasm for our beliefs merely by criticizing the other fellow ' s. Instead of relying on the state for our security, Benjamin H. Nanm, an outstanding civic leader, says, Private enter- prise can handle most of these security prob- lems and get results as outstanding as it has achieved with the problems of mass production and fear. For example we could build up our voluntary welfare mechanisms such as private pension plans. Blue Cross and Blue Shield medical insurance, housing societies, and con- sumer co-operatives. This is not a suggestion that government has no role to play in helping people. Such things as education, road-building, flood control, and 50:1 conservation must involve some measure of governmental action — but always with the consent of the governed; all of which adds up to the fact that we, as citizens, fear and distrust the Papa knows best philosophy in which the state assumes it can spend the citizen ' s money more wisely than he can spend it himself. Secure in the knowledge of much already accomplished, it is to be hoped that we shall continue to march steadily toward our goal — a world free from want. Freedom of Speech FREEDOM OF SPEECH , the most taken for granted and yet often the most mis- understood and abused of our civil rights, is, in an absolute sense, exactly what the phrase states — the right of every man to express him- self freely. But in a practical sense (and we must always remain practical) it is hardly that, for the implications of the democratic system, i.e., the constant conflict of ideals against common necessity, demand a certain degree of limitation. It would ordinarily be pedantic to state that there are always those people who will turn any liberty into license. In the instance of free speech, however, the greater portion of the domestic limitation is necessitated by ever-present, nor entirely eradicable, abusers. To check these people, laws governing slander, libel, and the public use of obscene or incitant language have been enacted. But not all re- strictive legislation owes its existence to do- mestic abuses. In time of war the government exercises a sound and necessary censorship upon important information and its dissem- ination. The Espionage and Sedition Acts of 1917 and 19 18, expanded by the McCormick Act of 1938, are the realization of this control, which in effect covers anything associated with a war effort. Outside of war time restrictions, with which we are not immediately concerned, the proper attitude toward a sound use of free speech is expressed rather colloquially by Arthur Garfield Hayes. The right to swing my arm ends where the other fellow ' s nose begins. But when speech is mentioned, the press, not illogically, comes to mind. The two are so closely related that they cannot be intel- ligently treated as distinct areas, for what, abstractly speaking, is the press but a material- ization of speech? For a more complete comparison let thought be included. The exist- ing similarity then among the three — thought, speech, and the press so, mathematically speak- ing, not unlike raising to powers; or, phys- sicaLly, not unlike the three states of matter — thought being gaseous; speech liquid; and the press, solid. To develop the analogy further, the writing of an article (like this speech) is similar to the crystallined substances which exist only in gaseous and solid states, never being liquid or, in respect to thought, spoken. Thus it could be concluded from this general analogy that speech and the press are but different intensities of thought and very much of what is true of speech is true of press.. There is but one advantage to freedom of speech and of the press, and that is democracy itself. Freedom of expression, that of speech and press combined, and democracy are as interdependent as speech and the press are interrelated — both approach synonymity. A democracy is a government by the people; and how can a people govern but by the expres- sion of the individual? Thus a democracy cannot exist without free speech, for without free speech there can be no individual expres- sion; nor has free speech existed independent of some form of democracy. The relation of freedom of expression and democracy might be likened to an idealistic symbiosis, one being dependent upon the other, one being the advantage of the other. Within the advantage of free speech and press there lies the great danger of smug satis- faction. It becomes extremely easy for many people to conceal by the brightness of our accomplishments the embarassing truth of the evidence of our abuse of free speech, whereas our achievements should serve mainly to em- phasize our shortcomings. The closer we come to free speech the more striking any curtail- ment should appear. Is it not true that one fact, a certain panicular, or a single step is not an end within itself but is important chiefly in its relation to the completion of the whole- So it is with free speech: the funher we pro- ceed the more rapid our progress. We should not become doped with our achievements and lose the vigor of our pursuit. A target for our constant vigilance should be the press, particularly the newspapers, which are so great a force in forming and manipulat- ing public opinion; and of the newspapers the economic pressure exerted by large corporations is the greatest evil. Large companies carry tremendous influence upon newspapers which depend on advertising as their chief source of income and then can exercise this influence b simply threatening to discontinue their advertising programs. This policy does not affect the larger papers which would not be injured by the boycott of one patron, but to the smaller papers it means life itself. In any case it certainly is not compatible with a whole- some attitude toward free speech. The effects of syndicalism are also not encouraging to the cultivation of free speech. The harm in this instance lies in the very uniformity it tends to produce. In a syndicate the work of every columnist, feature writer, reporter and cartoonist is throughly checked for any departure from the established policy of the syndicate. As a result, individual opinion becomes stifled and free speech is defeated. Regardless of all modifying circumstances, however, the success of free speech, like so many other things, depends basically upon the attitude of the people involved; thus if there is a desire for its preservation, it will be preserved; if there is no such desire, it will not. Obviously, the brightness of the future of free speech is in direct proportion to the vigor with which we maintain it today.

We also wish to thank you for this page of the yearbook — a page which will be used to introduce ourselves briefly. We entered Memorial High School with a bang in September, 1948, and the teachers will all agree that the bang still resounds. Our Freshman and Sophomore years passed by fairly uneventful while this, our Junior year, brings us to a higher level in life. At the pres- ent we are following in the footsteps of the Classes of ' 50 and ' 5 1 in that we have a system of class savings. Our collectors are Sylvia Burgess, Betty DeRosier, Betty MacNeil, Jane Wilson, and Mary Rudolph. Of course we also have a very fine executive department — and a handsome one at that. Alan Foster, who is also President of the Red Cross, keeps us well in hand as he presides over our meetings. He is active in Pro Merito, Student Council, and dramatics. You perhaps remem- David Caswell Alan Foster Ralph Levesque William Warner George Marois Ralph Levesque Alan Foster David Caswell Alan Foster Roy Huntley William Warner ber him for his fine presentation of ' Simon in the a capella choir. Ralph She ' s Just a Coffee-Frappe Ticket Levesque is our honorary vice-president. Ralph does a fine job in both the fields of sports and studies. He was our Sophomore president. Representing the female potentialities of the class, and doing fine jobs, are Jean Staples and Joann Bartlett. Jean has the complicated job of keeping our everflowing treasury in order, while Jean keeps track of our doings in her little brown book. By the time this yearbook is in our hands we will have had our Junior Prom, which of course, will have been the best and most successful of all times. Our capable committee heads were: Business - Charles Soule; Music - Jackie Jone; Art-Shirley Fasulo. Honorable mention ought to go to the Music Committee for the fine job they did in cutting down entertainment expenses, always a pressing problem.

One who would readily come to mind is Jackie Jones, very talented in singing and playing the 88 . Her scholastic record is something to be proud of as well as her par- ticipation in Newswriters ' Club, dramatics. Pro Merito, and sports. Also outstanding in the I ' ne of music is Pat Haskins, who is writing her own compositions. George Wilbur de- mands attention as he walks off with many coveted F.F.A. awards, truly a credit to the class cf ' 52. Another whom we envy is August Silva. Few classes have been blessed with such a talented artist. In the sports limelight is Dave Caswell, making a fine quarterback on our all-important football team. He is a fine baseball player and has been recently elected president of Pro- Merito. Also outstanding in sports are Darryl Mcffett, Arthur Quelle, the captain-elect of the ' 5 1 football team; and Danny Guertin. The latter two have left us recently to take part in a larger class — that of the U.S. Army. We regret the loss of these boys. With these already our claims, we hope to make M.H.S. as proud of us as of other classes. We have much to live up to, but we will achieve our goal and — leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time.

Uniting their various talents, the class should be very successful in the next two years. Among the leaders of ' 53 is President Robert Mortimer, an indispensable band member and talented writer, who likewise displayed other capabilities as the M.C. at last year ' s freshman social. Now vice-president, Joseph Costa was class president last year. Joe has won considerable fame as a member of the varsity football squad and is noted for his general athletic prowess. Because of her friendly smile, Julia Hollis, secretary, is very popular with the sophomores. Always musically inclined, Julia is to be re- membered as the composer of the class song for the Bates School graduation. Fred Hanson, treasurer for the class of 1953 impresses everyone with his quick wit and the fact that he has been on the honor roll many times. And also listed among the good students are Eileen Perkins and Patricia Tan- guay, who have never failed to make the Honor Roll since they entered high school. Eileen is active in band work, while Pat sings in the training choir. The class of ' 53 has a good supply of athletes including Bob Dunham, Jim Thomas, Taylor Weeman, Gordon Leonard, Roger Davis, and Fred Carreia. Among the girls prominent in sports are Sheila Dean, Betty Houlihan, Kay Lawrence, and Martha Beard. Prominent in the Newswr iters ' Club are Alice Moranville, Gertrude da Costa, and Peggy Gasunas, who is also secretary for the group. Perhaps one of the most versatile ' 53ers is Alvin Rubin, who not only writes for the Sachem and performs for the newly organized drama group, but who also has shown consider- able talent as a pian ist and violinist.

The class, drawn from the three local junior highs, contributed many names to the honor roll during the course of the year, and helped pro- mote social life at high school by planning a 7th-8th-9th grade party in conjunction with the Student Council. Perhaps it is in sports that the freshmen have made their greatest advance with the three freshman sports ably coached by Mr. Kunces providing continual stimulus. The football team won six, tied two, and lost none. Al Matrisciano was the offensive star in the back field, while Phil Butler spark plugged the line. In basketball the final record included ten games won and just one lost, George Leonard being the leading scorer and Al Smith, the defensive standout. Among the first team men in both sports were Dave Vickery, Gene Gammons, and Gary Iseminger. The class of ' 54 is not lacking in foresight, for they were able by sponsoring the annual 8th grade-Freshman football game to come up with a small profit which will prove helpful in the future.

Yearbook Staff CONTIUALLY wanting something from somebody, the editors of Tiniaron worked hard presenting the best yearbook pubHcation in 101 years. Under the leadership of Mr. Kunces and Mary Lou Casey with Carl Hewitt assisting, the business staff not only solicited more money in advertisements than any other yearbook but also made a record in the selling of subscriptions. Jean and Nancy used their feminine appeal to get ads, while Renny Wood used gasoline! Irene Malkosky and Judy Kennedy were official typists. Editor-in-chief Buzz Osborne, assisted by his literary staff, and Miss Wetherell, worked day and night organizing and revising. Associate Editor Earl Banta was forever asking what he could do next, while Terry and Mary were responsible for the underclass- men pages and for the personalized couplets as well as for many other jobs. In a year of ceaseless searching for new ideas in the realm of publishing, the staff which has worked with Buzzy feel that he was a talented and efficient mainspring for all their efforts. Sachem Staff THE Sachem staff, blood relative of the yearbook, under the direction of Misses Lewis and O ' Neil and headed by Sally Alger and Mary Kay Rudolph, did it again! They presented the latest ( ? ) gossip, pictures, and class news as well as fine literary contributions. The Less Bradford ' s cartoons were without equal, while Charlie Soule and Betty Canova proved their ability in the business field as worthy successors of Bob Riley. The Library THE library is a very important part of M.H.S. Students use it mainly for reference work. However, they also go in there to read books and magazines for pleasure. The library is not very large, but it has a little bit about many things. If teachers want students to read certain books, they can put them in the library on reserve shelves. The library is open six periods a day and a little while after school to give all students a chance to use it. Miss Ryder, taking over where Mrs. Dodge left off, maintains in the library the tranquility needed for scholarly research while continuing the endless quest for books lost strayed or stolen. Girls ' League UNDER the able supervision of Mrs. Helen Pardey, Dean of Girls ' , the Girls ' League has had another eventful and profitable year with officers, committee heads, and home room representatives giving their utmost in service. The sick and bedridden were remembered with cards, flowers, and gifts by a League committee, while a much needed coffee urn was purchased for the whole school with funds obtained from the selling of flavor extracts. In addition to a colorful Christmas assembly and the annual Football Social both of which were sponsored by the League, the Mother and Daughter Party, held in April, and featuring a fashion show, contributed much entertainment and inspiration to high school life.

The Band THE band handled this year such difficult numbers as Pavanne , Bobby Sox Suite , and South Pacific . Mr. Churchill worked himself to a frazzle every Wednesday morning and often wa s heard uttering such remarks as Good Gracious, people — count! The musical year ended with the annual band concert and a trip to Weymouth for the music festival. Student Council THE most controversial organization in school! Dick Butler, as president, headed local delegates attending a meeting at Dartmouth of the Southeastern Branch of Student Councils, while Sally Alger served as secretary to the larger group. M.H.S. was justly proud of its efficient — and pretty — regional officer! Functioning as a clearing-house for all matters pertaining to student welfare, the Student Council is made up of elected representatives from each home room. Red Cross ' T ' HE Red Cross this year was far from being inactive, for besides handling the Mon- day collections, the group sent thirty overseas boxes to their destinations and, in addition, prepared party favors at Easter time for a veterans ' hospital in New Bedford. Much credit should be given to Miss Brier for her faithful direction of the Junior Red Cross and to Allen Foster, president; the homeroom collectors and all who made the successful year possible.

The Orchestra ' TpHE orchestra was noted throughout the past season for an especially talented violin section under the leadership of Rubin, Haskins, and Brooks. Practicing faithfully on Tuesdays, the orchestra this year played at the senior play, at the teachers ' play, and at graduation. Pro Merito ' T HE surprise meetings of Pro Merito called by Miss Erickson with two minutes ' notice made this society interesting, to say the least! Under the leadership of O Worthy Imperator Howard, the Pro Merito Society not only presented an impressive induction service but ako, with Terry acting as master of ceremonies, awarded pins to the new members. Imperator Dave Caswell has this to look forward to next year. Future Farmers of America ' T ' HE Agie boys were far from being idle this year, for besides having a terrific agricul- tural fair in school, they ' brought home the bacon not only to their own advantage but for the honor of the whole school. The dairy judging team, composed of Eugene Robbins, Lawson Billings, and Robert Buck, captured first place at Brockton Fair, while Eugene came out highest among the individual cattle judgers. Important enough to be recorded in the history of the Class of ' 51, these accomplishments are indicative of the fine leadership furnished by Mr. Tufts, F.F.A. advisor. CURTAIN CALL Left to right: Evelyn Dwyer, Vincent Jacintho, Judith Kennedy, Laurence Osborne, Irene Malkosky, John Leonard, Jean Hale, Thomas O ' Rourke, Audrey Sault, Richard Maltais, George McCriUis, Mer- ilyn Churchill. Senior Play ly TISS Alden, skillfully directing this year ' s senior play, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court, made possible once again another excellent production. In the third act, however, unforeseen difficulties necessitated a bit of ad-libbing, as the talented cast dealt with iuch catastrophes as collapsing telephones and falling tables. In the leading part, John Leonard master- fully handled one of the longest parts in the history of senior plays. Never has there been a more sinister Merlin than Dick Maltais nor a more coniving Morgan Le Fay than Audrey Sault. Tom O ' Rourke and Jean Hale handled the part of king and queen, while the support- ing cast included Judy Kennedy, Laurence Osborne, Irene Malkosky, Vincent Jacintho, and George McCriUis. Orchids to Margaret Kayajan, student direc- tor, and prompter Marion Long for their patient assistance.

Lunch Room THE lunch room continued to be a Mecca for the entire school both at noontime and at recess with hot lunches, sandwiches, and other refreshments served inexpensively and attractively to students and faculty. The jmiling faces of the girls who stood by the candy and milk or who handed out lunch or silverware made the food all the more appetizing. We never cease to wonder at the expert planning of Miss Carrie Luipold, who for so long has provided a fine dinner for just twenty cents. Others helping in the smooth running of the cafeteria included Mr. Thomas, financial manager and director of traffic, as well as Mrs. Doris Weeman and Mrs. Persis Alden, assistant dietitians. Because of an injury, Mrs. Mary Baker, another assistant, was forced to give up her work. She has been replaced by Mrs. Lora Turner. It is a long line of helpers who join forces to assemble our lunch room process each day. From the helpful student who lists the daily desert on the board at eight o ' clock to the man of conscience who at noon puts away someone che ' s milk bottle, there are numerous jobs performed by student typists ( listing the weekly menu ) , traffic squad members ( summoning hungry rooms), and faculty ticket-takers (no- tably Miss Lewis). And this is not to forget the daily trips down town by the boys who purchase pounds and pounds of hamburg so that we may eat and drink merrily.

A Capella Choir ' T HE pride and joy of M.H.S.! The high spot of the choir year was a trip to Nantucket via the Northeast Airlines to present an eighteen song repertoire. It was the best choir concert ever enjoyed on the island, so reported one of the Nantucket journals. On Palm Sunday the a capella choir stirred a capacity audience with their performance of The Seven Last Words of Christ , while later in the year another program was presented jointly by the choir of Auburn, Maine. The group ended a successful season by singing at the annual band concert, and at graduation. Entrance into the choir is a highly competi- tive matter with only twenty accepted from 102 applicants. Traffic Squad THE most active group in high school! On no school morning can you arrive at M.H.S. without seeing the Traffic Squad patrolling the corridors with the familiar, O.K. — home rooms — or Let ' s see your pass! We are grate- ful to Mr. Deich and to Bob Brown for the ef ficient orderliness of fire drills. That the every- day routine of assemblies and other mass gatherings are carried out quickly and system- atically at high school is a credit to the whole squad.

Football O-CAPTAINED by Roger Nickerson and Charlie Kayajan, the Middleboro grid team rolled within two victories of an undefeated season. Despite many injuries, the team dis- played amazing versatility and seemed able to adapt itself to any situation. Beginning the season with the traditional Middleboro - Fal- mouth opener, which Middleboro took, the Battis outfit would have numbered only one defeat had it not been for the touchdown which Rockland scored in the last thirteen seconds of the game: The team took the time- honored Thanksgiving Day classic from Bridge- water before a crowd of over 1,000, and thus ended one of the most brilliant seasons in the hi .ory of M.H.S. football. The season ' s scores were Middleboro 13 Falmouth 0 Middleboro 6 Wareham 32 Middleboro 14 Plymouth 0 Middleboro 13 N. Attleboro 0 Middleboro 13 Rockland 14 Middleboro 7 N.

Varsity Basketball THE hoopsters in the tradition of Middle- boro High School came up with a team not only as good as any other year ' s but, in many respects, better. Had it not been for some bad breaks which included measles, grippe, and several injuries, the boys might have had a championship club, for on the court they look- ed the equal of any opponent. In the eighteen game schedule, three of the boys racked up more points individually than any other player in the district. Brown, 145 pound forward scored 386 points while Isemin- ger, Brown ' s partner in the forward court, out for a while with an ankle sprain, rallied for 307 points. Dick Wood, the club ' s center, and one of the big guns on the team, defensively as well as offensively, scored 288 points. The team ended third in the league, only two games out of first place and in the tourna- ment reached the semi-finals. Rounding out the regular team were Terry Howard, one of the hardest working guards the teams have ever had and Ralph Levesque, a junior and also a guard. Also earning their first team letters were Carl Hewitt and Eveirett Casey. The team record, in eluding 12 games won and 6 lost. is as follows: Middleboro 74 Alumni 69 Middleboro 74 E.
