Searles High Scliool 1917 HIS is an account of the hackstage occurrences duriui the rehears- als of our play, ' Tlie Rising deneration. The time covers that period hetwcen autumn 191 1 and summer 1917. The i)hice is the ivy-covered huihiing, Edward F. Searles High School. In the fall of 1944. Director Carleton Skillings announced that tl.e com- pany would he taking on amateurs. In Septemher, at the stage doors there gathered from the near and far corners of Methuen many anxious, stage- struck youths. All were l ewildered hy tlie tasks before them, and all had heard of the pleasures accompanying the rehearsals of each production. At our first meeting, we voted that Excelsior would he the motto of tlie cast. Our choice showed ambition, for P2xcelsior means Onward and Upward. Leon Bassett and Shirley Davis, as president and vice-president, became our leading man and lady. Barbara Thwaites and Tluirley Fitz- gerald undertook the supporting roles ot secretary and treasurer respect- ively. As representatives to the Actors ' council we elected Lester (Ireen- wood and Jack Andonian. While the sophomore roles were being re- hearsed, the senior actors and actresses gave a reception at which the am- ateurs were guests of honor. The excitement of this social event created sophomore dreams of the days when we, as seniors, would welcome the newcomers to the stage. Kehearsals were resumed, and at the end of the year, the seniors left the company. In the fall of 1945, the rehearsals of our play, The Rising deneration, were again underway. These junior actors were very proud, and oi-gan- ized for the year with Leon and Shirley in the leading roles. Barbara Thwaites continued as secretary; Donald Oabtree became treasurer. Our representatives to the actors ' council for this year were Lester (Ireenwood, Polly Marchand, and Edward Rlaine. After the Christmas holidays, we chose a black onyx ring which symbolized our company and soon won the praise of all. Work continued, but the pleasures we had while learning our parts will alwaj ' s remain in our memories. Toward the end of the sec- ond year, one of the members of the cast, Rcrnice Scott, was awarded a very high honor. The Washington-Franklin medal, for excellence in American history, was presented to her by Miss Southworth at a general assembly. Returning again to our rehearsals in the autumn of 1()1(), we, as seniors, realized that this was our last chance to prepare for the June performance, known as graduation. Being well pleased with the way that they ha(i served the class as president and vice-president, we again chose Leon and Shirley. Barbara continued in the essential supporting role of secretary 52 1917 Edward F. Searlcs High School while Kdward lilaiiie became treasurer. Lester (Ireenwood, Norma Wil- son, C.atherine Winn, and Kenneth Wiliiian were chosen as our represen- tatives to the actors ' council. Rememhering the vow we had made when we were amateurs, we |)lanned for the soi)honiore reception which proved to he an enjoyable social event. A few months later, a group of talented cast nuMnbers entertained the rest of the company and their friends by putting on the play, A C.ase of Springtime. Another pleasure, which came a few weeks later, was the senior party. Our rehearsals were con- tinued under the careful leadership of our capable directors. A few cast nuMubers, having been supervised by the art director, Mr. Joseph Melia, entered the (Ireater Lawrence poster conlst. All were proud that lirst, third, and fourth i)rizes were won by members of our senior group: Harl)ara Fitzgerald, Norma Wilson, and Laurel Sykes. Soon the invitations were out for the Military Ball. In the colorfully decorated ( ' .cntral School hall, one March evening, tiie boys in their snai)py uniforms featured a competitive drill. Dancing followed this exhibition, and the hall was tilled with gayety. A few weeks later, a group of the girls under the leadership of the girls ' athletic director. Miss Dorothy CJiadwick, pro- duced a very much admired demonstration. The roller-skating act, the tap and modern dance routines, and the scpiare dancing sets were the highligiits of this entertainment. The girls participating in these various performances worked almost continuously with numerous practice peri- ods in addition to their regular studies. Other activities brought recognition also. Honors were bestowed on William ( ' hadwick by the Sons of the American Revolution, and Hazel I ttley was honored by the Daugliters of the American Revolution for good citizenship during their three years with the company. At a general as- send)ly hehi late in April, Ikity Hogarth and Ruth Mann, because of their high ranks, were named as N ' aledictorian and Salutatorian. In June, our last party, which we called the Senior Prom, was a gala affair. The boys in their smart tuxedos and tiie girls in their colorful gowns enjoyed an evening of dancing. Our rehearsals end; the play is ready for production. We, the cast of The Rising (leneration, having been guided expertly for three years, are sure that witii the faith of our directors and friends supporting us, we can- not fail, ' e will go Onward and Upward. —Hazel Uttley 53 Edward F. Searles High School 1947 SCENE I Catherine: Dave Huston, what a coincidence meeting you in France! Are you getting a new coitfure by IShirgaret Derstephanian and Barbara Fawcett at MlJe. Boisjoly ' s Fashion Shoppe, or did you come to take Nancy Thomas and Ceila Enright, her fashion designers, to lunch at Ritter ' s Ye Old Tea Kettle? . Dave: No new coiflFure for me today, Catherine. I ' m on more impor- tant business. Through the endless efforts of Selectmen Leon Bassett, Carl Woekel, and Melvin Dorsey in Methuen, our new high school de- signed by Edward Johnson and Donald Coelho was completed, and I was sent to get you, so that together we could assemble all our classmates for the first reunion in the new high school. Catherins: I remember reading in Le Bleu at Blanc, a French news- paper translated into English by Ann Caspar, that contractors Lombardi and MacLeod had trouble when Gardner Ladd and Donald Hinds went on strike. They demanded longer working hours. In Nancy Calloway ' s column, Just Wait and See, she prophecied that there would be a re- union soon. She is usually right. Dave: Admirals Orlando and Zytkewicz loaned us a French Corvette converted into a yaclit by Hajjar, Hartung, Higgins, and Haigh Corpora- tion for transportation. Their corporation is doing a flourishing business. Each member has two secretaries (one for each knee.) Eddie can ' t seem to make up his mind if he prefers (iladys or Susan Holland for his private secretary, and Bobby is quite confused between Marion Hajjar and Helen Morency. Catherine: Are we stopping at Bamford Downs on our way home? Marion Lippold is the head horse-trainer there. She is assisted by (leorge Saba and George Kacin. Johnny Mushow and Frank Keycs are the lead- ing jockeys. Dave: We ' ll stop there, but our first stay will be at Aram Bogosian ' s famous stamp shop. His book-keepers are Alice Lutz and Barbara Roth and his secretary is Lillian Saab. In order to attract more trade Aram has Eleanor Colpitis, Mary Bartolotta, and Mary Fisichella for clerks. Catherine: Then we must stop at ( raven ' s Vanities where Bobby Boynes is the dancing teacher for the noted Atomics, namely Pauline Marcband, Barbara Ravgiala, Dorothy Peary and Janice Roby. Oh! and it would never do to leave Jerry Mastorakis and Frances Maloof behind. They ai ' e starring in the film, The Perfect Lover. They would never forgive us. 54 1947 Edward F. Searles High School Dave: Well, Catherine, let ' s t o to the dock and hoard ship. When we arrive in the United States, we will go directly to the reunion of the class of ' 17 in the new hig h school. SCENE II Catherine: Here we are home again. No wonder that Methuen is World-renowned with this magnificent Merrill Highway. Willy certainly must have received co-operation from his engineers David Smith, Arthur Slack, and Philip Morency. I imagine that he kept his trucks and equip- ment in A-1 condition at Wilman ' s Service Station where Charlie Bedard, Reginald Diodati, and (leorge Hohhs are the mechanics. Dave: Yes, and Merrill ' s Highway is policed under the careful vigi- lance of Andrew Morse, Riclianl Hoehn, Frank Worthv, and Arthur Vog- ler, The Fearless Four. Catherine: Look, the factory over there with the name Shoulders in neon lights is owned and operated hy Schuhert and Devaney. They spe- cialize in making shoulders to fit any man ' s woman ' s, or child ' s desire. Dave: Hill had a little trouhle the other day when his clerks (iertrude Lister, Ann Ward, Pauline Cagnon, and Valerie French had an argument with Joyce Hrown, his private secretary, over the policy that the customer is always right. Catherine: I heard that ' i( had quite a prohlem when it came to selecting a model for his startling discovei ' v, the haloon shoulder pad. Crahlree ' s Model Agency sent up Rita Hurke, Barhara Hurrell, Jane Bartley, and Pliyllis Ott. Wid was so undecitled as to which he pre- ferred tliat he kept all of them. Donald is doing all right for himself. He has Rita Ippolito and Doris Mack for secretaries. Dave: See that store with the diamonds and ruhies in the window dis- play. Betty Duemmling and Rita Hanna are the proprietors. They started from scratch, and now Ihey have a thriving husiness for themselves. They have two secretaries, Yvonne Staelens and Barhara Stevens, and a filer, (iloria Daigle. Their competent clerks are Hazel Nicholson and Irma Rock. Betty Child and Theresa Zieha do the heautiful window displays. Catherine: Why, there ' s Solomon ' s, the shop of the singing barber. I surmise that such i)olitical-minded i)ers()ns as John Sapienza, Joseph Feather, Jack Andonian, and Fred Smith meet there to discuss Town, State, Federal, and International problems. SCENE III Dave: See the magnificent landscajje of the new high school! The custodians, Raymond Hunniford and Kenneth Keamy t ' jke excellent care of the grounds. Everyone must be here now, for there ' s Jake Keefe, pres- ident of the Pepsi-Cola Company, with his two assistants, Robert Ryan 55 Edward F. Scarlcs High School 1947 and Rohert Shdcr. They always were the last ones to arrive anywhere. I guess they ' ll never change, even with Edith Rotondo, Faith Potter, and Arlene Koza, their secretaries, hustling them ahout. Catherine: It ' s no wonder that everyone showed up. Despo CJiatis and her all-girl orchestra will furnish the music for dancing. Despo has Doris Payers on trumpet, Harhara Thwaites and Norma Wilson at the twin pianos, Ruth Kenyon on guitar, and Patricia Quinn and Hernice Wilson in the string section. Claire Corey and Joan Assaf are her vocalists. Dave: An excellent entertainment has also heen arranged. For the henefit of the men, Stephen Raynowska and Xick Aznoian arc staging a boxing match, and (ieorge Haykal and (lerald Nazarian are showing their skill at weight lifting. Irving Lowe, our own Methuen Tibhett, is sing- ing a solo. John Donigan an l Rosalie DeHurra, better known as Rex, the Singing Cowgirl, are playing their guitars. The highlights of the show are Theresa Dowd and Anna (iiragosian doing their roller-skating specialty. Catherine: Why look! There ' s Hobby Harris! I understand that he ' s a clergyman now and has his own parish with Kemieth (lammons and Albert Graham as his curates. Dave: There ' s Arthur DelDuca. He ' s a pitcher for the Red Sox. By the way, have you heard that Michael Bedrosian is teaching child psy- chology? Catherine: A la Mr. Hanigan? Elliott Cooke, are coal and oil magnate, is here tonight with his three secretaries, Carolyn Small, Kathleen Hayes, and Rita Fortin. They all came in Sam Patti ' s taxi. Dave: I saw Ann Andonian, the dietician, in the cafeteria, and she was telling me that the milkmen are Al Rotondo and Cussy Moynihan. Donald Lambert is the egg-man and Arthur is the butcher. Catherine: I just saw Pauline Balezentes and she informed me that she and Lester (ireenwood had established their own mortuary. They are very ably assisted by Shirley Davis and Faye MacDonald. Dave: That reminds me. The staff from the hospital just stopped in on their relief hour. Doctors Harold Allen, Edward Blaine, and Richard Heidenreich were saying that they purchase all their medical supplies either from Dianne Speed, the chemist, or Thomas Holroyd, the druggist. The nurses, Ruth Maim, Lorraine Lowell. Madeleine Robillard and Shirle} ' Briggs were praising Barbara Fitzgerald and Laurel Sykes for painting the murals in the children ' s ward. The medical secretaries at the hospital are Lois Laurie and Sally Cole. Catherine: Virginia Doerr is the receptionist at the hospital. She said that Vivian (ianem and Barbara (iray are very generous with their flower donations from their greenhouse where Lewis Partington is a gardener. 56 11)17 Edward F. Searlcs High School Dave: Ik ' tty Hogarth, the dean of girls in our new high school, just iianded nie a list of the facuhy. Rohert McOacken is an English teacher, and Joyce Johnson and Hazel Tttley are the athletic directors for the girls. Hilda Wilson is the secretary for this wonderful school. ( ' atherine: And did you notice that liernice Scott is teaching the first grade, C.oiuiie Langille, the second, and Erna May, the third in the ele- mentary grades of the l)uilding nearby? Dave: Why there ' s Vincent Rafferty, president of the hank! His sec- retary is ( ' laire Shirton. The tellers are Rose Macaione, Helen Morency, and Angle Mauceri. Tiiey ' re leaving now. 1 wonder where they ' re going. C.atherine: Don ' t you know that we all have reservations at Eddie Maciariello ' s Rendezvous, after the reunion? Hilly CJiadwick and his celebrated (lolden Tones arc playing there. I certainly wouldn ' t want to miss hearing that golden trumpet of Rilly ' s for anything. So let ' s go now, too! Catherine Winn David Huston 57 Edward F. Searles High School 1947 OAatUw. HE day of December 7, 1911, l)r()iight a cowardly, sneak attack by Japanese aircraft on the United States ' Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. On the following day, December 8. the United Slates formally joined the Allied Nations in the fight against tyranny. These Allied Nations l)andcd together with one common pur- pose in mind, and successfully rejected the encroachment of fundamental human rights i)y the despotic Axis powers. Ever since Pearl Harbor, the hopes and thoughts of the people of this country have been centered increasingly upon creating at last a world organization which would be endowed with the power and the will this time truly to maintain the peace. The United Nations Conference on International Organization met in San Francisco on April 25, 19 15. At that time the war in Europe had lasted for more than five years; the war in the Pacific, for more than three; the war in China, for almost eight. The United States alone suffered cas- ualties of a million men; some dead, some wounded, others captured or missing. In the first ' orld War, the cost in destruction was less only than that of the more recent conflict. The Conference of the United Nations was called to prevent a third recurrence of a great disaster. It had one purpose and one purpose only: to draft the charter of an international organiza- tion through which the nations of the world might work together in their common hope for peace. At this conference, Edward R. Stettinius .Ir., chairman of the United States delegation, forcibly stated, If we are earnestly determined, as I believe we are, that the innumerable dead of two great holocausts shall not have died in vain, we must act in concert with the other nations of the world to bring about the peace for which these dead gave up their lives. Unity of strength and purpose is basically essential to the success of the United Nations. The people of the world, in order to revive their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, and in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, must tolerantly work together in the concentrated effort to accomplish this aim. A living example of successfully working together is offered by the staunch ivy vine. Tiny tendrils work together to keep the individual ivy plants clinging to the wall and each small plant does its share to sustain the whole vine. 58 1947 Edward F. Searles High School In a similar way, inaiiy of the nations of the world have united for the purpose of estal)lishing and niaintaining an everlastini peace. With the never-failint; help of Almighty (lod, the people of the world will ultimate- ly attaiji this goal. Our Father, (rod, from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand. We meet today, united, free, And loyal to our land and Thee, To thank Thee for the era done And trust Thee for the coming one — William .1. Chadwick 59 Edward F. Searles High School 1917 SOPHOMORE RECEPTION- Our first social event of the year was held November 1st, wlien the seniors otlicially welcomed tlie sophomores to the High School. A carnation was given to evei j ' sophomore girl and a lollypop was given to each sophomore hoy during the (irand March. Re- freshments and dancing were enjoyed hy all. SENIOR PLAY — December 7 was the night the seniors presented their annual Class Play at the Central School Hall, which was crowded to ca- pacity. We will never forget the startling performance of Dickie ' and Gwen. THE SENIOR PARTY— A good time was in store for all who went to the Senior Party. An excellent entertainment was furnished and all who attended will vouch for its being a great success. MILITARY RALL— On March 11, the event of the year, the Military Rail, was held with music furnished by Tony Rrown ' s orchestra. The Cadets in uniform and the girls in their lovely gowns, made the (Irand March a colorful picture and was the highlight of the evening. Congrat- ulations are given to the Cadets for the tine showing they ma le as they exhibited their military drills. GIRLS ' A. A. EXHIBITION — The athletic lemonstration was once again presented by the girls on April 25th under the direction of Miss Dorothy Chadwick, girls ' physical cducati ' jn instructor. The highlights of the evening were roller-skating and other costumed performances. The danc- ing that followed made it an enjoyable evening for all. RAND CONCERT AND DANCE- Our excellent Rand presented its ninth annual Rand Concert and Dance on May l(i, 1917. The Methuen High School boys and girls are proud to have as fine a director as Mr. Hal McDonnell. SENIOR PROM — As the close of our last year arrived, we held the cus- tomary Senior Prom. The colorfully decorated Central School Hall was filled with the excitement of this event even though all knew that it was our last school affair. 60 Edward F.
