Its plank is graduation night, Our destiny, we hail. The port from which we now embark Is High School days all done; Our goal is that of earned success — We ' ll work till it is won. As we set sail, we do not ask For smooth and quiet seas, We pray for fortitude alone, To slum a life of ease, And when the waves and billows roll, The sea is rough and high, We ' ll cast aside our every fear; Sail on! will be our cry. The knowledge that we have acquired, The skills that we have learned Will help us reach that brighter world — The goal for which we ' ve yearned. Above all that, our faith in God, In spite of fears assailed, Will be a light upon our way, And thus, we cannot fail. Now as we board our gallant ship, If any tears are shed, They ' re for the mem ' ries left behind Or the dark Unknown ahead. Then Bon Voyage, my classmates all, And courage to the fore! Come wind, come storm, our course is fixed- We sail to a nobler shore! —GAIL C.

Erickson, members of the School Committee, Mr. Skillings, members of the Faculty, Par- ents and Friends, on behalf of the graduating class, I take pleasure in welcoming you to our Class Day exercises. Another year has come and gone; We seniors now are leaving, And though it ' s time to say good-bye, This parting brings us grieving. Yet words are quite beyond us, Though it ' s time to say goodbye; We can ' t explain this feeling; We shouldn ' t even try. We feel a sort of sadness, Not the kind that brings a tear, But a deeper kind of feeling For the things we loved while here. We can ' t describe these farewell thoughts; The best words would be wrong. So let ' s not say good-bye at all- Let ' s make it just, So long! —RICHARD LEACH 48 19 5 2 CLASS HISTORY [S we near the end of the well-trodden path of our high school days, we look hack on the wonderful years that we spent inside the ivy- covered walls of the Edward F. Searles High School. At our de- parture through the friendly portals of our beloved alma mater, behind us we leave fond memories of the various projects and accomplishments of our class. So, before entering the busy world as young men and women striving for a goal, let us look back at the past events of our high school career. £ftO The welcome that confronted us, as we entered the vast edifice that housed the more advance! pupils of our town, was the name which the upper classmen dubbed us. To them we were the dumb little Sopho- mores who didn ' t know where to go or what to do. After a few hectic weeks of finding the different classrooms and teachers, we were set on the right track by the ever-helpful members of the faculty. At our first meeting on the lawn, we were told about the election of our class officers. To lead our group we selected for President, Richard Leach; Vice Pres- ident, Chester Milnes; Secretary, Marie Grant; Treasurer, Emily McAlea; and Student Council members, Jane Butler and Harry Lund. In October of this, our Sophomore year, the Seniors tendered us a reception at which we were formally welcomed to the great big happy family that made up the student body of the Edward F. Searles High School. The evening ' s entertainment was followed by refreshments and dancing. All who attended had an enjoyable time. As the spring of 1950 rolled around, our work-a-day routine came to a pleasing halt. We, the underclassmen of Edward F. Searles High, put on our first party. At this social function our own classmates participated in a show that was satisfactory to everyone. In June of this year, congratulations were in order for Jane Butler and Jack Danielian, who were presented with the good citizenship medals given by the Daughters of the American Revolution. This event marked the close of our year as the babies of the Edward F. Searles High School. In September we found ourselves on the threshold of a new adven- ture in education — our Junior year. Amid the hustle and bustle of our new classes and teachers, we were summoned to our first assembly on the lawn. This meeting was for the selection of our class officers. We reelected Richard Leach as President; Chester Milnes, Vice-President; Marie Grant, Secretary; and Emily McAlea, Treasurer. To our Student Council we added James Hamblet. When November came, we were all excited with the thrill of choos- ing our class ring. The committee voted on a gold ring with the emblem 49 MHS of the Searles Tower od the crown. In future years this ping will servo as a pleasant reminder of OUT wonderful high school days. During OUT Junior scholastic year, we had open house when parents, friends, and relatives of the students came to see the crowded conditions of the school. After this inspection the town meeting mem- bers proposed a new and larger building for the high school students. The plans were drawn up and the Tenney estate was ilie chosen site. Soon plans for a Talent Show, the first of its kind, were under way. This combined the talent of all classes into one grand success, which marked it as one of the memorable events of our .Junior year. The following months were spent with the task of getting homework done and passing sundry exams. Then an important day came; Mary Bascio was awarded the Washington and Franklin medal for achieving the highest rank in history. On this same day Gloria Mcllwain and Ar- thur Nicholson were presented with medals for good citizenship by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Then our Junior year became only the memory of a delightful past, and we went on to a promising future. In the fall of ' 51 we started on the last part of the journey to the peak of our high school career — our graduation. We resolved to take part in every one of our class activities and to make the most of our Senior year. In the first few w eeks of school, our class was called out on the lawn for our third and last election of officers. We elected for President, Richard Leach; Vice-President, Carl Reuter; Secretary, Marie Grant; and Treasurer, Emily McAlea. Our Student Council now grew to the wonderful team of Jane Butler, James Hamblet, Arthur Nicholson, and Barbara Vose. The first party we looked forward to was the reception that we sponsored for the Sophomores. At this event each and every one of the new r high school students met every faculty member and bad a marvel- ous time while dancing to the latest records and eating the delicious refreshments. With the coming of December, we were all enthusiastic about the grand event of the year, our Senior Play. Under the direction of Miss Marcelle Lemaitre, the members of the cast put their whole hearts in the roles they played in the comedy Best Foot Forward. This was one of the greatest triumphs of our Senior year. In March of 1952 the second annual Talent Show came into the spot- light. This exhibition was fashioned on the idea of Arthur Godfrey ' s Talent Scouts. Charles Haller did a fine job as Master of Ceremonies, and a prize was given to the best performer. At this time our class held elections for a representative to be sent to the State House. After an enthusiastic campaign, Jake Asadoor won 50 19 5 2 and went to the state eapitol to be a part of our government for one glorious day. March was one of our busiest months, for our 46th annual Military Ball was held in the Central School Hall. Music was furnished by one of the well-known local orchestras. The feature of the evening was the grand march led by Nick Buglione and Joan Habeeb. Although the wea- ther was a little chilly, this dance was very well attended. At a class meeting, Barbara Vose was chosen the Good Citizenship Pilgrim under the auspices of the Daughters of the American Bevolution, and she attended a dinner in Boston as a guest of this society. Barbara was chosen because of her good conduct and cooperation with the faculty. Time flew like the wind; and before we knew it, June was upon us; June, the month of the Senior Prom. This, the last social gathering of our Senior year, was well attended and provided us with many happy moments that will live in our memories for years to come. Now, as we bid farewell to these hallowed halls and go out into the world to experience the new life that awaits us, we leave to the class of ' 53, this our history, in hopes that theirs will be as fruitful as ours. — Dorothy Farris 51 MHS CLASS PROPHECY SETTING: Methuen Memorial Theatre YEAR: 1970 EVENT: The gala opening of the new theatre Ken: Pardon me, Miss, is this the why Sonia, it ' s heen a long time since I ' ve seen you. Are you attending tonight ' s performance, too? Sonia: Ken Clark! Hello! Yes, it certainly has heen a long time. When I heard that the opening of the theatre was going to feature Tall in the Saddle, I couldn ' t miss a chance to see it. Ken: Neither could I, hut I must admit that my curiosity to see the theatre had a great deal to do with my coming. Methuen has seen a great many changes and I understand that many of our classmates are respon- sihle for them. Sonia: Yes, I guess I would say that we had an unusually successful class. Tonight ' s performance should he spectacular. Barbara Sifferlin, top ranking critic, proclaimed it to he a smash hit. The leading role is being taken by Nancy Hoh, renowned stage, screen and television star. Carter Buckskin Hart is playing the leading male role. Ken: Yes, Joe Koscielniak is doing the producing, while Jim Kelley is handling the direction. The costumes were designed by Joan Stackelin. Sonia: I imagine we ' ll see a great many celebrities in tonight ' s crowd. In fact, the Honorable Senator from Methuen, Jake Asadoor, is just driv- ing up in his Cadillac. I see Fred Seandura is doing the chauffering. Ken: Yes, and there ' s Oil-can Korhey, the mid-western oil tycoon, pulling up in a limousine. I understand Jim Galluzzo and Butch Towne are working as drivers for him. Sonia: Speaking of driving, I read in Diane Nassar ' s Nosey Nook col- umn that Jerry Himmer and Bob Eichorn are acting as demonstration drivers and auctioneers at Jolly Jim Fitzgerald ' s used car lot. Ken: I can ' t understand it. Bob and Jerry were always so quiet in school. Sonia: My, but this building is impressive. I hear Jaek Danielian de- signed it. The project was undertaken by Joan Skaff ' s Construction Co. Dot Sherman and Pat Clark are working as gang-bosses. By the way, I understand that you, Ken, have just returned from South America where you engineered the building of a new Pan-American Highway. Ken: That ' s right. I just came in on the Sub-Atlantic Airlines with Jim Hamblet, who is my partner. We were surprised to see that the air- hostesses were Pat Ball and Esther Kurkjian. Say, I ' ve been over quite a bit of the town, but I ' d like to do a little more sight-seeing before I leave. Sonia: Well, diet Mimes and Dick Leach are co-owners of the Hit- and-Run Taxi Co. Maybe they ' ll give you a discount by the hour. Bob 52 19 5 2 Nazarian, Camille Cournoyer, Ed Flynn and Bob Andrews are working as drivers for them. Ken: Oh, I could always count on them to help me out. Say, is it true that Chuck Haller, Barb Vose, Peg Devine and Bob Lange are teach- ers at the new high school? Sonia: Yes, and Carole Nolet and Manny Santos own the local danc- ing school. Their guarantee is We teach you to dance in ten painful lessons; twelve, if necessary; or your money back, providing you live to enjoy it. Ginger Spinney and Ruth Hines are their head instructors. Ken: Oh, yes, I can remember the way they used to wear themselves out dancing, so I can imagine what they do to their customers. I suppose they ' ve given the Methuen General Hospital a good many patients. Sonia: Yes, they keep nurses JoAnn Thwaites, Pauline Quance, Marie Grant and Amy Sarcione busy wi th new patients every day. Ken: I understand that the number of patients has also increased greatly during the past few years at the Veteran ' s Hospital where you are working as a physiotherapist, Sonia. Sonia: Well, it could be because Margaret Orlando and Pauline Oro- ski are employed as lab technicians, and Margie Thomson is the head supervisor. Ken: Well, I ' m glad to hear that Margie made a success of her life ' s ambition. Say, did you read in Charlie Jameson ' s newspaper, The Meg- aphone, that Carl Reuter and Dave Mellor, attorneys for the crime syndi- cate, are appearing before the Federal Grand Jury in Washington, with Judge John J. Harty presiding? Sonia: No, I hadn ' t heard, but I did read that Emily McAlea, while flying in her helicopter one day, sheared the tops off Frank Grande ' s fruit trees. Her lawyer, June Schoff, did a bit of fast talking, and the Judge f ined Frank $100. for growing his fruit trees too tall. Ken: I guess it made quite a story for Charlie ' s newspaper. By the way, Ann Wooley, Jack Lariviere and Eleanor Ward are his reporters. Sonia: His newspaper is appearing at all newsstands, including Char- lotte Robinson and Barbara Altott ' s Book-mobile. Ken: I ran into them the other day; however, the damage to my car was very slight. Unfortunately, they weren ' t as lucky as I. They may have to remodel the whole thing. Sonia: That ' ll be a shame; however, that may be an improvement. Well, let ' s go inside. Look, there ' s Tom Kiley. I understand that his latest novel The Confessions of a Perfect Lover is doing quite well; in fact, it ' s on the book-of-the-month list. Ken: Yes, I read it. It certainly gives a good account of Tommy ' s experiences. Look, Jim Pringle and Ronnie Asadoor just arrived. They are the coaches of a professional football team, the Methuen Manglers. They ' ve been doing quite well. Sonia: Well, they always were two of our best athletes in high school. 53 M H S There ' s Connie Fischella. She has opened a very exclusive dress shoppe in town. Ursula Bolevitch, Shirley Turner, Bunny Michaud and Sonia Jacobchuk are models there. Shirley Parks, noted designer, creates most of the fashions. Ken: Oh! I know where the shoppe is, right next to Hewitt ' s Haber- dashery. Maureen Hewitt, the proprietor, employs as saleselerks: Cath- erine Kelley, Dorothy Karalnnos, and .Mai Iannalfo. Sonia: I ' ll bet she has a successful enterprise. Look down there in the third row! Veronica Fawcett is keeping the conversation flowing as usual. She ' s the new solicitor for Salvation Army funds. She always was good for a few words! Ken: Yes, I can certainly remember that. Isn ' t that Hetty Gallagher? She ' s appearing with Shirley Menzies, Joyce Downey, Claire DeLathau- wer, Norma Lefebvre and Lucille Larochelle in Methuen ' s Roller Derby. Sonia: Yes, that ' s right, and there ' s Ralph Duncan, master magician, who is appearing at the Flamingo Room. His specialty act is sawing Shirley Castle in half. Ken: Say, I ' ll have to see that. I ' ve also promised to see Ray Marsh- man, who is the head accountant at Art Nicholson ' s Last National Rank. Gloria Mcllwain, Arlene Rirtles and Marilyn Carbone are tellers there. Sonia: Art ' s bank financed Shirley Saba ' s Pharmacy which has gained new fame since the invention of her new vitamin X pill, guaranteed to pep you up or put you down. Shirt ' s trying to force Sonia Aaronian to sell it in her new super market, but Sonia is afraid she ' ll lose all her cus- tomers. Incidentally, Jane Butler and Blanche Corey are the counter girls and Joan Taylor is the head cashier. Ken: Come to think of it, Joan always did stay pretty close to the cash box in the caf. Oh! Look over there! It ' s Rob Paolino, owner of the Short Circuit Electric Co. Say, he was awarded the contract to equip the new football stadium with lights. Jack Darlington and Jack Rernard are working as his assistants. Sonia: Well, they certainly made good. Oh, there ' s that trio of grandmothers — Sally Licata, Millie Teoli and Ruthie Spence. They ' re still looking young. I wonder if they have their hair done at Norma Hashim ' s Hysterical Hairdressing Salon. Nora Zuill and Irene Strzepek are working for Norma. Ken: Refore I forget to tell you, Pat Rurke is the new matron at the West End Women ' s Reformatory. I suppose the women who survive Pat ' s reform treatments land at Jane Green wood ' s Rest Home, although Joanne Gauthier and Rarbara Jones, her nurses, shouldn ' t do much to calm their nerves. Sonia: Who are those men in uniform down there? Ken: That ' s Ensign Eaton, Admiral Wakeley, Colonel Catania and Major Ruglione, who have just returned from Washington where Pres- ident Mary Rascio decorated them for bravery in non-combat. Sonia: Oh! I recognize them now. Their troops were entertained by 54 19 5 2 Ray Riel ' s Clamorous Concert Troop. Marguerite Duffy, Roland Hofe- man, Ralph Fearon and Lucy Riel are working under Ray ' s direction. They ' ve created quite a sensation over there. Ken: So I ' ve heard. Incidentally, Barbara Keyes and Nancy Salvo are over there as missionaries. I wonder if there have been many con- versions. Sonia: Speaking of conversions, Gil Nowell has just entered the Methuen Monastery as a monk. Ken: That ' s certainly a big surprise. Say, Sonia, what ' s on your pro- gram for tomorrow night? I planned to see Catsy St. Hilaire at Station WHAT, and later, go to (linger Crooker ' s Greasy Spoon for refreshments. Jackie Bourassa, Barb Atkinson and Margie Baker are her waitresses. Sonia: Well, I intend to go to Walter Winthrop ' s Wrestling Arena Georgeous George Wildman and Joltin ' Steve Smith are featured there in a championship bout. Ken: Say, I might go with you; it ought to be interesting. Have you heard what Bill Day and Joe DeLuca are doing lately? Sonia: Why, yes. They ' re both ambassadors to Pakistan. They ' ve come a long way. Ken: I should say so. Oh, look! There Chuck Dewhirst, owner of the Morbid Mortuary. I hear he employs Mike Takesian as a grave dig- ger and has a partnership with Alan Shepard, who is a doctor. I guess Alan ' s motto is Kill ' em or cure ' em! Sonia: My goodness, the lights are coming on. The show ' s all over, and we ' ve talked right through it. Let ' s go. Ken: Shall we walk, or would you prefer to take one of Gail Stick- ney ' s buses? Sonia: Let ' s take a bus. Here it comes now. Ken: Well, look who ' s getting off — Bob Baxter and Margie Belanger, and Harry Lund and Nancy Austin. Sonia: Yes, they ' re married now: I wonder if they ' ve been star- gazing at Lynn Hayden ' s Planetarium. Pat Hanna and Doris Hargreaves are working there as elevator operators. Ken: I ' ll have to see that before I leave, too. Let ' s sit in the back of the bus so we can see all the sights. Sonia: O.K. See that building with the crowd in front of it? There ' s where Irene Kolofoles, eminent psychiatrist, has just opened her office. I heard that T.V. comic George Hajjar and Mary Marcello, George ' s sec- retary, were two of Irene ' s first patients. Ken: I wouldn ' t be surprised. There ' s the Methuen Medical Center. Betty DiLavore, Dot Farris, Evelyn Powell and Rita Bonanno are work- ing there. Betty and Rita were almost fired the other day for experi- menting with a new dynamo pill that nearly blew up the lab. Sonia: Well, didn ' t Lois and Victoria Hyder put up a fuss? It must 55 M H S be dangerous to have a lab so close to their building. They manufacture hydraulic pants for shiftless vagabonds. Ken: Yes, Lorraine Guilmet, Carlene llagen and Pauline Quinlan, secretaries for this established firm, have threatened to resign if the building isn ' t moved, hut I guess nothing will he done. Sonia: There ' s Yin Pelczar ' s Casino. Warren Sideri and Ray Sarcione are working there as bouncers. Ken: Yes, I know. Fred Bradley and Charlie Bower were bounced the other night for sleeping in the lounge. They neglected to ohey the No loitering sign. Incidentally, Fred and Charlie are co-owners of the Slumber King Mattress Co., which has as its slogan Buy the mattress with more hounce to the ounce. What ' s the strange looking building over there? Sonia: Oh, that ' s Dot Peterson ' s Putrid Pickle Factory. Barbara Fin- ethy, famous stunt flyer, collided with it the other day and caused quite a calamity. Shirley Clark, Hetty Yan Hauvart and Pat Flannagan, three of Dot ' s employees, landed in Claire Slack ' s Raving Insane Asylum. Ken: Oh, is that what happened! Well, this is my stop. I ' m going to see Barhara Thompson and Cretchen Yogler co-starring in that new tele- vision serial, Women of the Jungle, also known as Tarzan ' s Other Wife. They are having quite a feud with Mavis Bentley and Joyce Ab- hott, who are featured as song stylists on the other channel at the same time. Sonia: I must watch it sometime, hut right now I have to go and see Pat Walsh give a jiujitsu demonstration at the Methuen Armory. She ' s the president of the Housewives ' Protective Le igue. Ken. She always could put up a pretty good battle. Well, in that case, I wish you the hest of luck in your future endeavors. Sonia: Thank you! I wish you the same. Bye-bye! Ken : Good-bye ! YVILLIAM CLARK SONIA SATSUK 56 19 5 2 IVY ORATION W E, the class of 1952, one of the last graduating classes in an un- broken line of almost half a century, are assembled here on the spacious, rolling lawns of Edward F. Searles High School, to hold our traditional Class Day exercises and planting of the ivy. In the troubled times of today, we graduates would do well to keep this little ivy plant in mind as a shining symbol of hope and friendship. What plant could better symbolize hope? The tiny ivy planted at the very bottom of a high wall bravely sends its green shoots up the rough surface over the many obstructions which mark its path. It is climbing — always climbing with its leaves pointed skyward, until it finally reaches the top. Although plants have no human emotions, there must be some element in the ivy which forces it to progress over ob- stacles. That same force in human beings can be called hope — an inner faith in ourselves that we can achieve success in our lives and in our ' chosen careers, no matter how difficult the task may be, or how far away our ambitions may seem. No doubt each of us is aiming at some particular goal, a point which we know will spell true success if only we can reach it. This word suc- cess has a different meaning for everyone. To some, success is achieved only when one amasses a huge fortune, or becomes a key executive in a large corporation, after years of striving. To others, the material gain is not the most important factor, but rather the recognition that is accord- ed a famous person because of his literary work, his musical talent, or his efforts of art in other fields. Not every member of our class will attain success as measured by these examples; however, we should remember that success appears in many forms, and we should not become discouraged when it seems that we are not making the most of our lives, not fulfilling our youthful am- bitions. We could follow the example set by the ivy, for it has not the regal beauty of the rose nor the delicacy of the lily, yet its particular form of success comes from its sturdiness, its ability to flourish in spite of difficulties. We should also remember that success is not necessarily crowned by fame, for there are other achievements which are perhaps more impor- tant. For instance, we shall have made a success of our lives whenever we join in the work of worthy organizations or help people less fortun- ate, thereby gaining the reward of new friendships and the respect of our neighbors. If, as w r e grow older, we can examine our lives in retrospect and truthfully say that we have been happy and contented, and have en- deavored always to do our best, then we shall have truly attained success. Even as we look ahead to our future and wonder what it may bring, we come to one of the most sentimental ceremonies of our Class Day ex- ercises, the traditional act of planting the ivy. Thus this graduating class 57 M II S of Searles High School loaves this ivy as a token of remembrance of its joyous, carefree high school days, those (lays which will always remain a part of the cherished memories of the class of 1952. We hope that the ivy will thrive and grow to its highest point, hut, above all, we hope that it will serve as a lasting inspiration to the graduates of our class. If at any time during our lives we are made weak by time and fate, let us hope, as Tennyson says, that we may, like the ivy, gain the strength to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Its activities began in the fall with the conducting o f football rallies. In order to raise money for the treasury, a Barn Dance was conducted in the fall. Plaid shirts and dungarees were the dress, and a gala time was had by all who attended. Following the pattern set a year ago, the Student Council, with the respective classes assisting, combined the three class parties into one big Talent Night Show. After the judging had been announced, it was found that the Sophomores had walked off with top honors. Two conventions were attended this year: the fall convention was at Beverly High School; the spring convention, at Medford. Last year the Student Council published a Sophomore Handbook for the first time. The venture met with instant approval, and the group printed a second edition for the Sophomore class which will enter in 1952. This book gives the rules and regulations pertaining to our high school as well as school songs, cheers, and other bits of information. The members of this year ' s Student Council were— Seniors: Jane Butler, President; Barbara Vose, Secretary, Arthur Nicholson, Jr., Treas- urer; James Hamblet. Juniors — William Clark, Audrey Pickles, Norman Waites. Sophomores — Scott Giles, Lois Himmer. 64 19 5 2 Third Row: B. DeLuca, A. Sarcione, B. Weinhold, M Devine, C. St. Hilaire, R. Spence, V.

Much color was added to th e games through the help of the very fine cheerleaders and by the wonderful backing of the pupils themselves. Another added feature at the games was the Methuen High Band; their inciting music and rous- ing cheers couldn ' t be anything but an asset to the team. The class of 1952 would like to wish the coaches and captain of next year ' s team a successful season. 71 M H S Third Row: W. Atkinson, A. Castle, J. DiMarco, D. Pinkas, R. Peate, S. Giles, E.

Fred Bradley, the regular center on the team, broke Joe Bartalotta ' s one year old high scor- ing record, scoring 287 points during the eighteen game season. Robert Baillargeon was elected captain for the season of 1952-1953. The Junior Varsity squad, comprised for the most part of members of the sophomore class, bids fair to becoming an outstanding aggregation by the time the boys get to be seniors. 72 19 5 2 Standing: V.

The second team also enjoyed a suc- cessful season. Coached by Miss Dorothy Chadwick, the girls deserve recognition for their outstanding work. Best wishes to Captain-elect Joan Seglin, for next year ' s season. 73 M II S Standing: F. Arold, J. Woidyla, J. Madden, H. Fink, J. Stanley. J. Donovan, R. Drew Seated: C. Booth, E. Dowd, N.
