We leave behind our carefree hours When ' Deeds, Not Words ' was but a phrase; As we go forth from dear Searles High, Our motto guides us on our ways. Dark clouds o ' er head make futures dim; The world is not at ease today. Dear Lord, take care and watch o ' er us Who always seek the peaceful way. We ' 11 set our goal and mold our lives To face the problems we must meet, With hope, with courage always high; We will not tolerate defeat. CONSTANCE R.

We have often looked forward to this day as a day of happiness and rejoicing, but now that we have arrived at the terminal of our high school career, our thoughts look ahead to the crises of the world today and how we are to do our part to better ourselves and the world we must live in. Guided by our motto, ' Deeds Not Words, ' we shall endeavor with our utmost to establish a firm position in life that shall be a credit to Edward F. Searles High. Now I join with the others in thanking everyone for the happiness they have given us and bid farewell to our ivy covered High School.

Thus, I hope that a short resume of those happ days with their trials and tribulations, victories and defeats, and the thrills of accomplishments will sear the remembrance irrevocably upon our minds. Gayly we started down a new trail in our lives, our high school years, under the leadership of Timothy O ' Neil, our presi- dent; Lawrence Bradley, our vice-president; Margie Reilly, our secretary; and Sue Biven, our treasurer. Early in the fall of our sophomore year we were formally greeted by Donald Pickles, the president of the senior class, at the Sophomore Reception. After his kind welcoming address, we felt that we had the right to belong. A little later in the year, some of our talented classmates produced an enjoyable evening ' s diversion at our Sophomore Party. The singing and the variety of other entertainment was followed by dancing to the best bands in the land, ' on record. ' Ears reddened under the lash of the winter cold, but we were rescued by an early spring. June and its hot sun soon came into view, and two of our classmates, Frances Nicholson and Robert Hill, were the honored recipients of the Good Citizenship Medals, pre- sented by the Daughters of the American Revolution. All good things come to an end as did vacation; nevertheless, we were glad to be back to our junior year; we were veterans now, and we looked forward to a happy year with our old friends and our new acquaintances. We again elected Tim, officers. Larry, Margie, and Sue as our class With the falling of the leaves, we chose a ring committee to select the design and material of our class ring. Our faith was justified when the committee selected a beautiful gold ring banded with a blue stripe. Winter ushered basketball season into the limelight, and the basketball dances were a welcome boon to many a teenager. As usual, our willing class talent gave a scintillating per- 61 formance at our Junior Party. Everyone went home happy after the subsequent dance. We went our accustomed rounds until spring reared its dainty head. At an assembly in June, Sue Biven was awarded the Washington- Franklin Medal for outstanding accomplishment in American History. The D. A. R. also presented their Good Citizenship Medals to Fran- ces Nicholson and John Olefirowicz. The summer heat passed and soon the autumn leaves were fal- ling. With great anticipation of jollity to come, we tore into our high school duties. Timothy O ' Neil, Larry Bradley, Margie Reilly, and Sue Biven were again re-elected as our class officers. During Indian summer, President O ' Neil welcomed the sopho- mores at the Sophomore Reception, which enabled everyone to have a pleasant session of dancing. In late winter, the Senior Play, ' Dear Ruth, ' was a great success under the direction of one of our own teachers, Miss Le- maitre. The superb cast gave a stimulating treat to the audience. An unprecedented experiment was attempted in February in the matter of class parties. The three parties were combined into one, called ' Talent Night, ' and it was a tremendous success, bursting with talent and hilarity. Donald George was elected by the student body to represent our high school in Boston on Good Government Day. As a result of a successful magazine drive held during the winter, the cost of the class yearbook was materially reduced. For once the storm gods were kind on the night of the Military Ball. Company D under the command of Mac DeSilva won the hand. Soon the graduation honors were announced. Elaine Dearden was selected for valedictorian, Frances Nicholson for Salutatorian, and Viola Danelian for the honor essay. For a long time there had been a demand for a new high school in Methuen, but it was not until March of this year that the town meeting voted to build the proposed high school with the assistance of the state. Thus, we may receive the rather doubtful honor of being the last class to have received all our high school training at Searles High. By means of another election in March, Elaine Dearden was voted the girl most deserving the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Medal and all the honors that go with it. 62 Early in April, our feminine classmates gave a magnificent demonstration of Daton twirling, rollerskating, square dancing, and bicycling. This A. A. demonstration was ably directed by Miss Chad- wick, and it certainly was a great success. Cur band gave a brilliant performance at the annual Band Dance, held in the middle of May. The great turnout shows how much our students appreciate the efforts of the band and its director, Mr. McDonald. Then came the Senior Prom, the event which the girls had been dreaming about all year. The beauty of every girl was enhanced by an equally lovely gown, and the boys were also resplendent in their formal attire. And now is our Class Day, the apex of our high school career. We are leaving high school to go out into a new world f And now is our Class Day, the apex of our high school career. We are leaving our high school to go out into a new world for which we have been prepared, a world that appreciates ' Deeds not Words. ' ROBERT HILL 63 CLASS PROPHECY Members of the faculty, undergraduates, classmates, friends: Here are your radio commentators, Jean Hambleton and Al Shad- ' lick bringing you an exclusive interview of the 25th reunion of that most advanced and surprising class of 1951 of Searles High School. Tonight we are celebrating our reunion at that reknowned night club, ' The Brown Derby, ' owned by those famous Smith Brothers and their distinguished partner Thomas Ramsbotham. Tom has certainly advanced from his former position of dish washer. But before we continue, let us have a few words from our spon- sor, ' The Tidy Didy Diaper Service, ' owned and operated by those illustrious business men Bernard Reilly and Hank Owen. They have adopted our class motto - ' Deeds not Words. ' The | brated ra( air lanes. ;uests are anxiously awaiting the arrival of that cele- io, movie and TV hero, Chug-a-long Chatis, idol of the As we move among the throng we see the famous steady couple of 1951, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Judge, Mrs. being the former Beverly Allen. We hear their eldest daughter is attending Methuen High this year. Talking with the Judges are Prof. Donald George and his col- league the noted mathematician Nancy Cooke, both of whom are teach- ing at Slater ' s Institute of Cosmography. Standing by the head table are Gwen Weirnick, the nationally known dress designer and her former models from the 1960 ' s, Phyllis Bramhall, Joan Bruneau, Dorothy Kosceilniak, Gerry Derochers and Emilie Orlando. Those girls certainly have maintained their beauty throughout the years. A few of our former athletes here this evening are Larry Brad- ley and Abe Hajjar, coaches of the professional football team, the Boston Pekinese which is still managed by Jim Rhodes. We think Jim is going to try to compete with Connie Mack. Driving up to the front entrance is Congressman F r.

We see they ' re com- Paring photographs with that trio of grandmothers, Dotty Hurrell, at Hosterman, and Alma Hargreaves.

We hear Mac has a bid, arranged by his man- ag er Eddie Athayde, to play at ' The Bucket of Blood, ' local dine and dance palace owned by Bob Belavitch. Sparky Wallace is the head bar tender and Bill Maloof and Bob Kopacz as bouncers provide a good representation from our home town. The boys from our class who caused the big surprise by enter- ing the ministry were George Emmott and Bill Ward. Also another surprise were Jeanne Girard and Bobbie Leoff who became mission- aries. Representing the armed forces are Gen. Gilbert Lutz who is attended by his aides, Ray Zenker and Ray Voter. As we were coming to this reunion we stopped in at Hill ' s Pills Emporium. Bob certainly side tracked his desired profession to be a chemical engineer. In the drug store we met Jay Morehouse, the roving reporter for Tim O ' Neil ' s scandal sheet, ' The Seeing Eye. ' Jay tells us that Peggy Doyle, Lois Nicholson, Susan Bistany, Nancy Russell, and Marie Rotondo are leaving for an extended trip throughout Europe following this reunion. We see Jerry Winer had to attend this celebration in his wheel chair because of his rheumatism. Dr. Hank Schruender says Jerry ' s sickness isn ' t quite that serious. We think Jerry just likes all the attention he ' s getting from his nurses, Dolly Pica, Martha Carmichael and Veronica Dolan. Speaking of nurses, Joanne Hilbert is superintendent of nurses at the Akroyd and Bourgeois Memorial Hospital. Also employed there are three famous laboratory technicians, Dorothy Huebner, Elaine Dearden and Viola Danelian. They get all the dirty work done in the lab by the orderlies Joe Bartolotta, Donald Jackson and Martin Aaronian. That white haired fellow just crossing before us is Walter Martin. He made a fortune in old automobiles. 65 1 ' «« ' At the table before us discussing the increasing enrollment in Methuen ' s new, modern high school are Phyllis Norcia, Donna Hamer, Frances Vaina, Anna Filli and Jennie D1D10 who are part of that well trained secretarial staff employed there. They certainly keep things in perfect order for Principal John Olefirowicz. Here John has his troubles making his janitors David Wain and Bob West- well do their work. One of the well-known political celebri ties j ust coming through the door is Marie Miville who is now one of America ' s delegates to the U. N. Marie always was good for a debate. I hear that Sam Pollina, Warren Bennett and Carmelo Mirogliotta were the consulting architects for the new U. N. building which was recently erected by Carnevale ' s Construction Company. Fred has Bob Wrigley and George Sherman as his head engineers. Here is a special news bulletin of poli tical interest: Frederic Hering and William Scannell have been appo inted American ambas- sadors to Russia and Yugoslavia. That makes quite a few of the 1951 graduates in Europe now. Joyce Lippold, Patricia Healey, Patsy Moore and Janice Harrison are technical advisors in some of the rehabilitation centers over there. Also, James Maranto and Robert Savard are the American in- spectors for guarding against the production of war making materi- als in Russia. There ' s the prominent j udge Charles Nixon. He ' s busy now-a-days with the case against Ted Berube for assaulting Chester Kus. Carl White, Berube ' s lawyer, is finding a stubborn adversary in District Attorney Ray McAlea. Tomorrow McAlea wi 1 1 produce his two star wit- nesses, Richard and Robert Frank, the ambulance crew of the general hospital. Many of the prominent people on the jury are Maxine Brown, Ruth Stocks, Hazel Veach, Donald Harty, Barbara McGibbon and Joseph Me 1 i s i . Another trial to be held next week is the polygamy case against Anthony DiOrio involving Kay Salvo, Marie Teti, and Anne Holt. We take time out for another commercial: ' Come to Rondeau and Ciardello ' s Red Nose Cafe located at Bleary Eyed Bend. We serve the best high test drinks in town. Our slogan is ' More punch in the punch. ' Returning to our interview of the reunion, we see two of Methuen ' s popular girls of 1951, Margie Reilly and Lillian Ratte, who are now deans of a local secretarial school. Members of the 66 staff are Marilyn Lister, Rosemarie Assaf, Barbara Weisenborn, Irene Donovan and Grace Rapa. I hear that Martha Bassett is employed as a practical nurse for Sue Biven ' s youngest child. Co-owners Arthur Parks and Arthur Ingle of the Vanderbilt Hotel ' are talking with some of their prominent guests: milliners Carole Quigley and Pam Mazzocco; hair-stylists Lorraine Marchand and Phyllis Sirois; authors Frances Nicholson, Peggy Sharpe and Priscilla Hughes; teachers Barbara Dennis, Madeline Pelczar, Marion Palese and Judith Winning. Did you hear that Mignanelli-Giordano-Maranto motion picture studio is going to remake ' Harvey. ' Starring roles have been given to Norman Pi lz, .Gloria Bluemel, Loretta Sabutis, Joan Connelly, Edward Weidlick, Janet Woekel and Joyce Wenzel. Producer Charles Simonian has hired Anthony Coppola as the director and Paul Cunha as his assistant. Just leaving the room is editor Nancy Mahoney of the well- known magazine ' The Deaders Rigest. ' Staff writers are Virginia Stevens, Joan Flaherty, Loretta Tannal fo, Peggy Cross land and Ramona Bistany. Some of the featured illustrators are Mary Jane Sanborn, Emma Walsh, Evelyn Kaatz, Alice Kearny and Marie Vanderstuyf. Two of their photographers Robert Dewan and Larry French have won national acclaim for their outstanding work. Speaking of outstanding work, David Netti has produced a mar- velous T. V. snow, ' Middle Age Melodramas, ' starring Theresa Haykal, Dick Prunier, Claire Thompson, Frances Blezinski and Rita Petrillo. Technical advisors for the show are Alice Boyko, Carolyn Calitri, Rita Cavanaugh and Eileen Hollins. Now that the waitresses, Bertha DeRoche, Joanne Melvin, Shir- ley Paolino, Bernice Parker, Claire Rajotte and Dorothy Messina are beginning to clear away the remains of the banquet, Carol La- casse, Alice Rizkallah, Lorraine Kalil, Lorraine MacVicar, and Lorraine Thompson are joining some of the men to sing Auld Lang Syne as our 25th reunion draws to a close. This is station WXYZ signing off. • — JEAN HAMBLETON AL SHADLICK 67 IVY ORATION Today, as so often in the past, a graduating class of Searles High School is gathered together on our spacious lawn for the traditional Class Day exercises. Very soon we shall be leaving these strong, protective walls to venture forth into an uncertain future. Each year, as a token of remembrance, the gradu- ating class plants a tiny ivy along the gray-stone walls which surround this beautiful, stately building. The ivy thus planted through the years has intermingled freely until it has formed a graceful pattern. It is no longer easy to tell where the tiny ivy started its upward climb. Like the ivy, many graduates of the classes before us have followed patterns of life too similar to allow distinction, and this is natural and to be expected, for not all are intended to be leaders. Yet some who by nature could give much to the world allow the shadow of insig- nificance to darken the path of achievement that might be theirs. Let them not grow as some of the ivy that climbs vigorously for awhile, then fades and dies away. Perhaps there will be one or two among us who will soar to freater fields of accomplishment, and like a few bright, green eaves that hang resplendent in their glory, they too will stand out among the rest. However, in this confused world of today we need more than just a few who are willing to strive for a better way of life, not only for themselves but for others. Concerted ef- fort is needed to fight against the unfortunate evils that menace our present civilization. Although, at the present time, older and wiser people guide our destiny, itwill soon be up to us to lead, direct and influence. Not all of us are destined to be prominent, but there is not one who can afford to sit back while another does the work. The co- operation of one and all will alone bring to this the peace and happiness we so fervently desire. May as the ivy plant that climbs to stand out among symbol of greater and finer things to come. world of ours our class grow the rest as a There may be times when the events of the world will dis- courage us and the future appear dismal and dim. Then we need only remember, that though the ivy ceases its growth during the winter months, it blooms forth more glorious in the season of spring. Someday, with God ' s help, our world will enjoy a springtime rebirth and will emerge from its darkened state into the light once more. DOROTHY E.

At this party the Sophomores were officially welcomed to high school. An entertain- ment was presented, followed by general dancing. THE TALENT SHOW which took the place of our class parties was new in ' 51. Entertainment was put on by three representatives from each class, and all participants were awarded prizes. Music for dancing was furnished by records. THE SENIOR PLAY — ' Dear Ruth ' was presented by the class of 1951 as its Senior Play. The class was fortunate in possessing some fine actors and actresses who contributed greatly to the success of the play. ' Dear Ruth ' will long be remembered by everyone who saw it presented. THE MILITARY BALL was beautiful even though the boys wore khaki uniforms. The drilling was good and the grand march was a beauti ful sight. The hall was decorated with tri-colored streamers, shields composed of the thirteen original states decorated the walls and a Statue of Liberty on the backdrop of the stage. March 16, 1951, was the night we danced to the marvelous music of Tony Brown ' s orches- tra at Central School Hall. THE GIRLS ' A. A. AND DANCE was held Friday, April 13th, 1951, at Central School Hall. The hall was gaily decorated in pastel colored streamers and parasols. The basketball team, majorettes, cheer- leaders, and senior gym classes presented the demonstration. Dan- cing to the latest records followed. A good time was had by all who attended. BAND CONCERT AND DANCE — Cur annual Band Concert and Dance was held May 18th, 1951, at Central School Hall under the direction of Mr. Harold McDonnell. The band played many beautiful selections, which were enjoyed by all who attended. Dancing followed. THE SENIOR PROM was held June 8th, 1951 at eight o ' clock in Central School Kail. All the girls looked lovely in their gowns and the fellows handsomer than ever in their tuxes. This evening will long be remembered, especially by Seniors, for it brought to a close the many wonderful times had throughout our high school days. 73 [ [ [ [ [ [ . 74 75 CLASS OFFICERS Standing: Sue Biven, Treasurer; Lawrence Bradle , Vice President; Marjorie Reilly, Secretary.
