We shall cherish always the memory of these years. Parents and friends of the graduating class, let me take you back over the happy days we have spent here in Millbury High School. We entered high school in September, one thousand nine hundred thirty-nine. During the first few weeks we had difficulty in finding our classrooms, in remembering to use the right stairway, and in getting accustomed to the bells, but by the end of the month, we had overcome these stumbling blocks and were per- mitted to elect class officers. Those elected were President, William Howard; Vice-President, James Hayes; Secretary, Lincoln Bordeaux, and Treasurer, Glenn Johnson. Even though the members of our class joined many clubs in our freshman year, only one of us held an office; it was Mary Budreau, who was an assistant editor on the Reflector. We just weren’t popular enough, and weren’t given the opportunity to display our talents. When the basketball season rolled around, we were well represented. Evangeline Bar- rette, Doris Daley, and Mary Carter played on the girls’ team and James Hayes and William Howard were on the boys’ team. In February, we took our first mid-year exam- inations and, after much studying, came out on top. The rest of the year was uneventful, and then in June came our vacation for which we all had been waiting and planning. We returned again in September, full of vim and vigor and ready to get back to work. At the first meeting of the class, the rules and reg- ulations of the school were once again im- pressed on us. At the next meeting we elected the following officers: President, William How- ard; Vice-President, James Hayes; Secretary, Lincoln Bordeau; and Treasurer, Stanley Gran- done. The officers, except for the Treasurer, were the same as those of the previous year. We continued to join the various clubs and now held our share of offices. Elizabeth Rice was Vice-President of the Stamp Club. In the Glee Club were Mary Carter as President, The- rese Ekstrom as Vice-President, and Arthur Poirier as Secretary. In the French Club Joseph Credit and James Hayes held the positions of Vice-President and Treasurer, respectively. Mary Budreau was Assistant Editor of the Re- flector and Glenn Johnson was an assistant editor on the Reflectorette staff. Representing us on the football team were William Howard, Louis Hoyle, and John Carl- son; the team finished the season with a record of six victories, two defeats, and two ties. James Hayes, the only member of our class who was interested in baseball that year, contributed much to the success of the team. In December, Coach Roach issued his first call for basketball candidates. The following boys reported: William Howard, who saw plenty of action during the year, William Mc- Ardle, James Hayes, and Louis Hoyle. When Miss Sullivan sounded her call for basketball candidates in October, Betty Harootunian, The- rese Ekstrom, Evangeline Barrette, and Pauline Lacouture reported with enthusiasm. Girls’ field hockey was becoming a popular sport and several of our class, including The- rese Ekstrom, Yvette Lange, Betty Harootun- ian, and Evangeline Barrette, became proficient players. These girls had a most successful year as they won five of the seven games which were played. In June, some of the members of our class attended the Junior Prom where they bade the seniors a last farewell. After our vacation we returned to school as juniors. Our new status made us feel decid- edly superior, but apparently nobody else was impressed because we still had to obey all the rules and regulations. Our class officers for the year were President, William Howard; Vice-President, James Hayes; Secretary, Walter Mains; and Treasurer, Stanley Grandone. The office of secre tary was our only change from the previous year. Ofh- cers of the Stamp Club were President, Lincoln Bordeaux and Treasurer, Elizabeth Rice. In the Glee Club Arthur Poirier was President, Ann O’Brien was Vice-President, and Evangeline Barrette was the Secretary. James Hayes was Secretary of the Dramatic Club, and in the French Club, Stanley Grandone was President, Vincent Vayo was Secretary, and Therese Ek- strom was the Treasurer. Audrey Gordon and Margaret Murray were Vice-President and Treasurer, respectively, of the Biology Club, 10 Sree OU Ret talsss | eQuha Mary Budreau was an assistant editor on the Reflector staff and Glenn Johnson continued to be assistant editor of the Reflectorette. With the coming of the football season the juniors were well represented when Joseph Credit, John Caron, William McArdle, Wil- liam Howard, Walter Mains, Robert Sharon, and Louis Hoyle reported for action. In December, Coach Lacouture issued a call for basketball candidates and those who re- sponded were Captain William Howard, James Hayes, William McArdle, and Louis Hoyle. On the girls’ team were Evangeline Barrette, Pauline Lacouture, Therese Ekstrom, and Betty Harootunian. The team enjoyed a successful season since it lost only one game. Also in December, a play called ‘‘The Green Light’ was given for the benefit of the Ath- letic Association. Mary Carter, Frances Sut- cliffe, and Evangeline Barrette from our class were members of the cast. Our next meeting was called in May, at which time we elected committees for our own Junior Prom. Joseph Credit, who was elected chairman of the decorating committee, decided on an Arctic scene which proved most attrac- tive. James Hayes was chairman of the music committee and Mary Budreau was chairman of the refreshment committee. Alice Jannery was chairman of the invitation committee. This prom, which was a great success, was our tribute to the seniors who were leaving. We then turned our thoughts to our vacation which would be our last summer vacation while at- tending Millbury High School. The summer weeks passed all too quickly and when we returned to school we were seniors. We were definitely upperclassmen, but as far as behavior was concerned, we might as well have been freshmen. Our first meeting was called to elect class officers to guide us through this, our most im- portant year. William Howard and James Hayes were again elected President and Vice- President, respectively,—positions which they held for four years. Walter Mains was elected Secretary and Stanley Grandone, Treasurer. As usual we held our share of offices in the various clubs. In the Dramatic Club Joseph Credit was President, Mae Gibson, Secretary, and William McArdle, Treasurer. Officers of the French Club were President, Stanley Gran- 11 done; Secretary, Pauline Lacouture; and Treas- urer, Therese Ekstrom. Faythe Remick was President and Ellen Norton, Vice-President of the Biology Club. Glenn Johnson was Editor- in-Chief of the Reflectorette and Mary Budreau was Editor of the Reflector. In November a meeting was called for the purpose of electing a picture committee. Those chosen were Joseph Credit, chairman, Anita Douville, Yvette Lange, Betty Harootunian, and William McArdle. They selected the J. Carroll Brown studio. In January another meeting was called to select a D. A. R. representative. Therese Ek- strom was chosen as our representative on the basis of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Mr. Beaton, at our next meeting, announced the honors for the highest averages in school work. The four top-ranking students will speak at graduation. They are Mary Budreau, Valedictorian; Louis Hoyle, Salutatorian; The- rese Ekstrom, First Honor Student; and Mary Carter, Second Honor Student. From this time on we were very busy, mak- ing arrangements for the printing of our year- book and the taking of pictures, and electing our Class Day speakers. Joseph Credit was chosen Editor-in-Chief of the Aftermath. His assistants were Therese Ekstrom and Mary Carter. Alice Jannery was elected chairman of the advertising committee. Those elected to write the extra-curricular ac- tivities were Pauline Lacouture, Ellen Hamil- ton, Lorraine Morin, Margaret Murray, Arthur Poirier, Helen Capistron, Betty Harootunian, William Howard, William McArdle, and Irene Douville. The Class Day speakers were Audrey Gor- don, Prophet; Frederick Burak, Giver of Gifts ; Vincent Vayo, Testator; Helen Stockhaus, Stat- istician; Peter Devoe, Omissions and Correc- tions; and Margaret Gauvin, Historian. Alice Jannery and James Hayes were selected to write the class song. During the last few months we have been so busy trying to put everything in its place, that we did not realize the sadness that would come over us as we left Millbury High School. We shall do our best, however, to remember the lessons we have been taught and to live accord- ing to our motto: “Upward and Onward.” GE: rophec Y By AuDREY GORDON I am in Hollywood at last. Maybe it has taken ten years for me to reach this glamorous town, but I am here now, and nothing else matters. I alighted from the train, checked my bag- gage, and looked for a hotel. The sun beat on my unprotected head as I walked down the hot street. Suddenly everything was blank. When I regained consciousness, I was lying on a cot in the police station. Looking around the room, I saw a handsome man in a policeman’s uniform. I recognized him to be Pete Devoe —“Oh, how wonderful to meet an old friend,” I screamed. He sat beside me, and we enjoyed ourselves, reminiscing about our days at Mill- bury High School. Suddenly the door opened, and an angry- looking woman fairly flew in the room, shak- ing her finger all the while, and screeching, “Mr. Peter Devoe—so this is the extra police duty you ’phoned about. I might have known. If my good friend, Amelia Jacques, hadn’t seen you from her beauty parlor window, carrying this creature in your arms into the station, I might still be home with our poor little chil- dren, thinking you were a faithful man—you worm.” Pete calmly introduced me to his wife who was none other than Jacqueline Daley. After she quieted down, he explained the situ- ation to her. She apologized very sweetly and invited me to her home for dinner. I was com- pelled to decline her invitation because my main object in coming to Hollywood was to attend a houseparty given by my good friend, Mae Gibson. Mae’s name had changed now that she had entered matrimonial bliss with producer John Caron. On the night of Mae’s party, I stepped out of the taxi, handed my wraps to one of the many waiting maids, greeted the hostess, and went into the large hall where the rest of the guests were assembled. I didn’t anticipate meeting anyone I knew; therefore, I was quite surprised to see Annie O’Brien in a flowered sarong, sur- rounded by an admiring group of men. In- quiring, I learned that Annie is now known as Annie Lamour O’Brien. I wandered with the rest of the crowd to the punch-bowl. There was Joseph Credit, now owner of the fashionable club called ‘The Millbury Social,’ after his home town, lending his own note of vitality and enthusiasm to the party by adding a touch of this and a touch of that to the punch to flavor it. The first to sample Joe’s new concoction was the very dar- ing Richard Larson. Richard had reached fame as a great flyer. The orchestra, led by Alice Jannery, played “Beat Me Mama With a Boogie Whip.” Mem- bers of the orchestra were Doris Daley, the drummer, June Letendre, playing the base fiddle, Lorraine Morin with her saxophone, and last, but not least, Beatrice Young, the Swingiest trumpeter in Hollywood. A very handsome gentleman to whom I was introduced asked me to dance. His name was Duke William McArdle. Billy told me the way in which he had gained his title; during World War II he had met a wealthy English duchess who was a widow with fifteen children. Billy, who always loved children, married the duchess. The next time, I danced with Doctor Robert Sharon. I tried to obtain some advice about my many ailments, but I soon gave up when I found out he was only a horse doctor. In one corner of the room, a large group of girls was crowded about a man whom I couldn’t quite distinguish. I learned later that the man in question was Tommy Donnelly, Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor. Tom was a professional woman-hater; the only girl he had any use for was his secretary, Frances Sutcliffe. As the floor show had started, we all tried to find seats. The first act was a very compli- cated dance done by Helen Capistron, her part- ner John Carlson, and the chorus, led by Caro- lina Pescheta. The chorus girls were Esther Pickett, Doris Figgins, Irene Gauthier, and Gloria Quarelli; they were known everywhere for their beauty and talent. Next on the pro- gram were Elizabeth Rice and her partner, Edsel Ross, in a beautiful ballet dance. Off stage they were a happily married couple living in a vine-covered cottage. Joe Zykoski and Frederick Burak were the funny men, but their act didn’t go off so smoothly because of the quarrel they had over the hand of Gladys John- son, the blues singer in the show. The pro- gram ended with a woman’s boxing and wres- tling match. It was not a surprise for me to learn that Evangeline Barrette was the cham- 12 GAEATS Sumer ha Palit bs, Gy yg pion boxer, for she was always athletic; her op- ponent was Pauline Lacouture. Those partici- pating in the wrestling match were June Mur- ray, commonly called the ‘Purple Streak,” and Betty Harootunian, who was billed as ‘Betty the Bouncer.” The lights were dimmed again, and general dancing was resumed. I was feeling tired so I sat down to watch. Faythe Remick kept the stag line in a turmoil during the entire evening. She had just divorced her fifth husband and was looking for a sixth. It didn’t seem as if she would have much difficulty finding him. There was considerable commotion when Rita Carney and Lillian Gullberg came to the party in slacks. They both were ace mechanics during the war, and when it ended, they just couldn’t go back to wearing dresses. I overheard a conversation between two so- ciety women, Annette Cournoyer and Doris Taylor. Putting two and two together, I gath- ered that Louie Hoyle, usually called ‘'Tommy Manville, the Second,’ had just eloped with a famous actress, Barbara Blanchard. This elope- ment made the tenth trip to the altar for Louie. A naval officer was at the party with his wife. I recognized his wife to be Jean Burgess, but I couldn’t quite get his name—it was either War- ren or Chuck or something like that. Many of the girls were at the party for one purpose. James Hayes, celebrated talent scout, who was known to be a connoisseur of femi- nine pulchritude, was there to choose some girls for his producer, Lincoln Bordeaux. It was a well-known fact that Jimmie thought blondes were intriguing, so most of the girls, with the aid of a little peroxide, had golden tresses. Among the candidates were Tefter Boria, Eve- lyn Carlson, Therese Ekstrom, and Margaret Gauvin. The party was going along very smoothly when suddenly a loud blast shook the house and smoke began to fill the room. Flames leaped up and in no time the house was blaz- ing. All the people had been safely evacuated and the building nearly burned to the ground, when the fire engine came clanging down the street. The reason that the firemen arrived so late was obvious when I saw Richard Platts was the fire chief. Some of the people were over- come by the fumes of smoke, so a doctor was 13 called. When he arrived, accompanied by his nurse, I recognized Walter Mains and _ his nurse, Mary Carter. When I inquired concern- ing the origin of the fire, I learned it was caused by one of the guests, Ellen Norton, who was showing some innocent by-standers how to blow glass with just the aid of a small fire and a glass tube. Growing weary of the excitement, I called a taxi. The night was just full of surprises for the taxicab driver was Thomas Pickett. I ar- rived at the hotel after a breath-taking ride dur- ing which Thomas ignored every stop signal, careened around corners with abandon, talking all the while in a learned fashion about Shake- spearian drama. I noticed a group of newspaper men and women in the lobby of the hotel. Recognizing one of the reporters to be Margaret Murray, I asked her what was going on. She told me that she was waiting to get a picture of the Mayor of Hollywood and his wife who were stopping at the hotel. She didn’t have time to say any more because the mayor and his wife were descending the stairs. Whom should they be but Vincent Vayo and Helen Stockhaus. The next morning I boarded a train for the East. There were a number of people traveling that morning, but I didn’t expect to meet any- one I knew. Sitting across from me were a man and woman with their three children. After scrutinizing them carefully, I recognized the woman to be Anita Douville and the man, her husband, Zip. I spoke to them and we talked until they got off at the next station. I learned that Anita’s sister, Irene Douville, had joined the WAAC during the war and had married Major-General Glenn Johnson. I was about to lie back in my chair when I noticed the headlines of the newspaper. ‘“‘Ar- thur Poirier Elected President of the United States.” His picture was in the paper with that of his wife who proved to be our own Mary Budreau. Those losing the election for presi- dency were Robert White and Ernest Maynard ; both were important figures in political life. Arthur being very good-hearted, had remem- bered some of his old friends when picking his cabinet. Lorraine Vaillancourt was chosen Secretary of the Navy because of her experi- ence in the WAVES during the war; Alan CRASS: Sap ps0 PELE Gay, Smith, Secretary of Agriculture and Shirley Du- charme, Secretary of State. Relaxing in my chair I noticed a minister sitting across the aisle. He was a vety pious- looking gentleman who proved to be my old classmate, Roy Ludvigson. He glanced in a disdainful way at a bride and bridegroom who were sitting across from him. The pretty bride was the former Yvette Lange and her husband William Howard. They had been married be- fore and divorced and now remarried. The conductor, Donald Wilmot, had a dif- ficult time trying to get two ladies to put their dogs in the baggage car. They couldn’t see any “earthly reason why the pets cannot stay right here in the chair car, as they certainly aren't bothering anyone.” They were Helen Hamilton and Florence Horne, teachers at the Millbury High School, who had been vacation- ing in California. Finally the stronger of the minds won out, and Donald wearily walked away. Playboy Stanley Grandone, who had _in- herited the Grandone millions, was also on the train, making a great deal of noise and disturb- ing other passengers. He had with him three beautiful girls dressed in mink and flashing many diamonds. In spite of all their glamor, I recognized Gloria Fairbanks, Barbara Nelson, and Katherine Tranter. The second conductor, Frank McLaughlin, more stern than the first, soon had them calmed and under control. At last everything was quiet except for the whistling of the train and the answering rever- berations from the hills. The echoes were the memories of my classmates from Millbury High School. Rejoicing in the thought that the years had brought them happiness and success, I re- clined in my chair and mused about the “old days” at Millbury High. Address of Welome Parents, Teachers, Classmates, and Friends: It is with great pleasure that the class of nineteen hundred forty-three wel- comes you to our Class Day Exercises. In the future we shall probably have few Opportunities to assemble as a group; therefore, this day has been set aside for us to recall some of the experiences, activities, and joys that have made our four years at Millbury High School years we shall never forget. We realize that this day would not have been possible without the sacrifices of our parents, who have given up many comforts to make our high school life happy and rewarding. To our parents, we offer our most sincere and grateful appreciation. We wish, also, to thank the members of the faculty for their unselfish work in preparing us for the future. Their constructive guidance has been felt not only by our class, but by those who have preceded us, and we know it will be acknowledged by the classes of the future. With these thoughts in mind, I extend to you the cordial invitation of the class of nineteen hundred forty-three to join with us in our Class Day Exercises. 14 EVANGELINE M.

To Roger Vayo and Joseph Budreau, we leave the memory of “No. 14.” The preceding document which has, this twenty-first day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-three, been read in a public gathering, has hereunto attached a sworn statement testifying that the following gentlemen of unquestionable repute among the nobility have examined and censored it with a severity characteristic of their dignity. His Excellency, the most illustrious and most unknown, Earl of Whittlespear The Right Honorable, Lord High Chancellor of Bottleneck Woods, the Honorable Chicagorilla Sir William Lalapalooza Buttinski By the hand of their Clerk VINCENT VAYO OMISSIONS AND CORRECTIONS By PETER DEVOE Upon graduating from high school, I became a “buck’”’ private in Uncle Sam’s army in darkest Africa. That is, it was very dark, until one day a new light was thrown upon it, in the brilliant and sparkling personage of Tana Lurner, favorite “pin up” girl of U. S. soldiers overseas. I'd heard much of this new, ravishing beauty in the U. S. A. and wanted to see for myself the reason that soldiers were clamoring and howling for foreign Service. Imagine my surprise when I saw her the day she visited our camp, and found her to be none other than my old friend and classmate, Audrey Gordon! I was so proud that it took me two weeks to sew the “G. I.” buttons back on my uniform. Audrey made such a hit with the boys in our section, that the very next day we went out and wiped every German off the map in Africa. And if the afore- mentioned feat sounds too preposterous you'll understand the reason that I’m ending this here and now. ) CLASS GIFTS To Evangeline Barrette, A great athlete, We give this box Of shredded wheat.

One hundred and forty-three members of the club initiated forty freshmen into the group. On Thanksgiving Eve a football rally was sponsored by the Dramatic Club in the High School Auditorium. The enthusiasm of the rally did much to arouse interest in the Thanksgiving Day game between Northbridge and Millbury. Due to the fuel shortage, plans for a play called Almost Summer in which Pauline Lacouture, Mary Carter, Arthur Poirier, and James Hayes were to represent our class, had to be abandoned. Activities during the remainder of the year were limited. On May 7, the Dramatic Club and High School Orchestra held a dance in the Auditorium. Music was furnished by the Orchestra in which Robert White, a member of our class, was violinist. Seniors on the dance committee included: Joseph Credit and May Gibson, General Chairmen; Robert White, June Murray, and Rita Carney, Ticket Committee; Pauline Lacouture, Refreshment Com- mittee; May Gibson, Therese Ekstrom, Helen Capistron, Vincent Vayo, Ellen Hamilton, Alice Jannery, Florence Horne, Margaret Murray, and Ann O’Brien, Decorating Committee; Yvette Lange, Entertainment Committee. ; The officers of the club for the year were President, Joseph Credit; Secretary, May Gibson; Treasurer, William McArdle. Miss Heslinga directed club activities until February when she became teacher of mathematics, and Miss Burns was appointed as her successor. Now that the year has come to an end, we the senior class of 1943, wish to bid farewell to the underclassmen in the Dramatic Club and wish them enjoyment and success. To Miss Heslinga, our former director, we extend our sincere thanks for her untiring efforts and superb supervision. We also wish Miss Burns, the new director, very much success in the years to come.

In our freshman year Mary Budreau was appointed an assistant editor and Audrey Gordon and Lincoln Bordeaux became assistants in the art department. Our original three representatives continued to serve when we were sophomores, and May Gibson joined them as a member of the ‘Seen and Heard’’ department. Three more of our class were added to the staff in our junior year when Betty Haroo- tunian was chosen to cover girls’ basketball, and Lillyan Gullberg and Margaret Murray were assistant art editors. As seniors, a full complement of our class directed the magazine. Mary Budreau became editor-in-chief and Elizabeth Rice, May Gibson, Margaret Murray, Ann O’Brien, Mary Carter, Audrey Gordon, Lillyan Gullberg, and Ellen Hamilton were staff members. The staff of the Reflector and all members of the senior class wish to thank Miss Donovan, Miss O’Leary, and Miss Walsh for their cooperation in making our magazine a SUCCESS.

Reflectorette The Reflectorette made its initial appearance in Millbury High School the year we were freshmen. Perhaps it was because of our simultaneous advent that we have always had a special interest in our school paper. It was a member of our freshman class, Joseph Credit, who submitted the winning name, “‘Reflectorette,’ in a contest sponsored for the purpose of naming the new venture. That same year we were represented on the staff by Mary Carter and Lincoln Bor- deaux as Undercover Reporter and Artist, respectively. Mary and Lincoln were reelected in our sophomore year while Glenn Johnson became Assistant Editor, and Fred Burak joined the publication department. While we were juniors Audrey Gordon and Margaret Murray served as Art Editors; Ellen Hamilton and Betty Harootunian reported on girls’ sports; Constance Colarusso had charge of cartoons; Pauline Lacouture was News Reporter, and Theresa Ekstrom became Feature Editor. Glenn Johnson became Editor-in-Chief of the Reflectorette in our senior year. Other members of the staff included: Mary Budreau, Exchange Editor; Theresa Ekstrom and Barbara Blanchard, Feature Editors; Pauline Lacouture, News Editor; Ellen Hamilton, Sports Editor; Doris Daley and Margaret Murray, Cartoons; Lorraine Vaillancourt, Faythe Remick, and Evelyn Carlson, Publication. The staff of the Reflectorette wishes to thank Miss Donovan, Miss Walsh, and Miss O'Leary for their supervision and guidance at all times. WRITE-UP BY PAULINE LACOUTURE First Row, left to right: T.

The French Club has always held the enthusiastic interest of many students in our school. In previous years, the members of the club presented one-act plays in French; they enjoyed mystery rides, scavenger hunts and bowling parties; once a year they spon- sored a dance. Because of changes in the school schedule, no social program has been carried on this year. All the club meetings have been held during the activities period on Monday. The seniors have enjoyed the pleasant meetings of the past; they wish continued success for all the future endeavors of the French Club.

The group has held meetings once a month. During the year, the members have enjoyed a nature-study hike; they have identified different types of barks of trees; they worked out a project on leaves, and have dissected a Foetal Pig. May we extend our best wishes to the Biology Club for its continued success in future years. WRITE-UP BY MARGARET JANE MurRAY Football First Row, left to right: J Kenney, R. Gilmore, W. Mains, R.

Millbury High School opened its football season under the direction of Mr. Beaton and Mr. McKeone who took over the coaching responsibilities because Mr. Roberts, the coach of the previous year, had been called into military service. The large number of candidates who came to the first practice session was both pleasing and encouraging to the coaches. After several strenuous workouts the team was chosen; several members of our class appeared in the line-up. Walter Mains, Louis Hoyle, William McArdle, Joseph Credit, John Caron, and Robert Sharon were members of the squad. William Howard, because of an injury suffered in the previous year, was unable to play. In the past season the squad played some fine football, but because of unfortunate occurrences, the team did not win many games. The football prospects, however, appear bright; there is much fine and enthusiastic material among the underclassmen. The Seniors wish to thank Mr. Beaton and Mr. McKeone for their efforts and to extend best wishes to the football squad of the coming year.

For several years, the girls have carried on interscholastic basketball and field hockey games with teams from nearby towns. Because of the fuel crisis, girls’ basketball was abandoned this year; field hockey thus became the one sport in which the girls participated. The field hockey schedule was also limited because of the transportation problems. After several practice sessions, the team played its first game on September twenty- eight. The girls representing our class were Captain Yvette Lange, Therese Ekstrom, Betty Harootunian, and Evangeline Barrette. In the opening game, the Millbury girls defeated the Holden team by a score of 2-1. In the next game Millbury was defeated by Shrewsbury. The second contest with Holden was won by Millbury with a score of 1-0. In the fourth and final match the Millbury team was defeated for the second time by the Shrewsbury squad. We, the class of ’43, take this opportunity to thank Miss Sullivan for the patience and skill with which she has coached the team.

The pitching assign- ments were shared by William Howard, Ralph Dunn, and Andre Dulmaine. Roy Lud- vigson, and William Figgins were the infield reserves; Paud Aubin and Roland Gibeau were the reserve outfielders. Eugene Perron was the manager of the club. Captain James Hayes, Walter Mains, William Howard, John Caron, and Roy Lud- vigson have played their final game for Millbury High School. These seniors thank Mr. Jannery for the assistance which he has given patiently and generously and they wish him success with all future teams. WRITE-UP BY WALTER MAINS 47 PAN-AMERTCANISM By Mary BuDREAU Carinhosos saludos, a las naciones americanas! Thus the twenty-one sister republics of the Pan-American Union greet one another daily. Thus, pray God, may they always greet each other until time is no more. This feeling of friendship and understanding has not always existed; North and South America have not found it easy to understand and appreciate one another. Differences in culture, language, and background have been barriers not readily sur- mounted. We found our models of culture, educa- tion, and the good things of life in Northern Europe. South American culture and language are predomi- nantly Spanish and Portuguese. For centuries South America was ruled by Spain. Through the efforts of José de San Martin in 1817 and Simon Bolivar in 1821, the yoke of Spanish rule was broken and South America became a continent of independent republics. At the time of this liberation there was ke en sym- pathy in the United States for the southern neighbors who were fighting for freedom, as our country had done not long before. John Quincy Adams, Secre- tary of State under President Monroe, watched fear- fully a European movement to help Spain win back her colonies. At his urging, President Monroe issued the famous Monroe Doctrine of 1823 in which he announced that North and South America were no longer open to colonization by any European power. This policy of protecting our neighbors was a fine gesture, but the South American republics could not be sure it was anything more than a gesture. The Mexican War of 1848, during which we enlarged our own territory at the expense of Mexico, made them wonder if our warning to Europe might not mean we had designs of our own on their territory. As the nineteenth century drew to a close, economic interests and geographic proximity prompted the United States to seek closer commercial and political bonds with its southern neighbors. In 1889 James G. Blaine, Secretary of State under President Benja- min Harrison, held the first Pan-American conference in Washington. On April 14, 1890, the Pan-Amer- ican Union was formed. It was made up of twenty- one American republics who agreed to hold regular conferences for the purpose of discussing mutual problems. The magnificent home of the Pan-Amer- ican Union was erected in Washington, D. C., in 1905. Although the Pan-American conferences did much to dispel suspicion and misunderstanding, our sister republics were still not convinced of our sincerity. They knew we wanted their trade; they feared our capitalists who wished to exploit their natural re- sources. They felt that decisions were made by us and handed to them for acceptance. They knew what “dollar diplomacy” meant. For centuries they had carried on their commerce, which is the life-blood of any nation, with southern Europe, but now they be- gan to dread commercial exploitation by the ‘‘Colos- sus of the North.” The Spanish-American War made them fear ‘““Yankee Imperialism.” The great task of overcoming this dislike and dis- trust was begun by Woodrow Wilson. Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover continued President Wilson’s good work. On this foundation President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has built his famous “good neighbor policy.” He has interpreted the phrase to mean that hereafter we will not use our superior power to support the claims of private interests. We will not interpret the Monroe Doctrine as giving us special rights. We will help the weaker nations to help themselves. We will work together to make the hemisphere safe. Much praise is due President Roosevelt for his “good neighbor policy’? and Secretary of State Cor- dell Hull for the Reciprocal Trade Laws. American solidarity and hemispheric unity are becoming stronger day by day. Much has been done and will be done to promote Pan-Americanism. Latin Amer- ica will become more prosperous and more independ- ent of the world. Production will be increased with the help of United States capital. The Pan-American Highway and airlines will wipe out distances be- tween the north and the south. President Roosevelt summed up the spirit that should prevail between sister republics when he said: “No nation can live entirely to itself. Each one of us has learned the glories of independence. Let each one of us learn the glories of interdependence. Eco- nomically, we supply each other’s needs; intellectually we maintain a constant, a growing exchange of cul- ture, of science, and of thought; spiritually, the life of each can well enrich the life of all. We are show- ing in international relations what we have long known in private relations—that good neighbors make a good community.” The “good neighbor policy” has had a magnificent beginning and it is the duty of all of us to see that it lives forever. Adiés buenos vecinos, continiese nuestra amistad, adids. 48 AVIATION, TODAY AND TOMORROW By Louis Hoyle The history of aviation presents us with an in- spiring story of succeess. Aviation has made enor- mous progress since the conquest of the air by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903. At Kitty Hawk, they proved conclusively that the flight of man through the air was not only feasible but practical. For cen- turies wise men had considered such a feat impos- sible and contrary to the laws of nature. Crude as it was, this pioneer flight was the seed from which one of the world’s most astounding industries has grown. On that fateful day in December when Orville Wright made a flight about as long as a good ski jump, the destiny of the world was being changed. No one, least of all the Wright brothers, understood the magnitude of their invention. They could not foresee that they were placing in the hands of man an instrument which could be used for good or evil upon a scale not yet fully understood. Throughout its amazing growth aviation has been a development of men more than a development of machines. The wings and engine in the original Wright plane are, in principle, the same as those used today. After finding the clue to the mystery of flight through the air, men began to flock to this new industry. Like the pioneers of our own coun- try, they braved unknown dangers. It was their faith in aviation that has made it a success. Within a decade after Kitty Hawk aviation had made such progress that new jobs, peculiar to the industry, began to appear. After World War I, aviation took on the characteristics of a great business, and by 1930, its influence was being felt around the world. With this development new problems, new standards and, above all, a new type of worker were evolved. Never has an industry vibrated with the life and energy of youth as has aviation. Not even the clipper ships gripped the imagination of American youth as have these ships of the sky. In every community in America today there is a group of aviation-minded boys to whom the airplane is the greatest miracle of the age. 49 Prior to the outbreak of the war, an increasing number of travelers were using the airlines, not alone for the time saved, but for the excitement and com- fort of air transportation. Yet air travel, despite its rapid advancement, is still only in its infancy. Each new day reveals improvements and changes to be made and new fields to be explored. One of the most fascinating possibilities in the conquest of the air by man is the rocket-driven airship. Dr. Robert Goddard of Clark University in Worcester has set up a laboratory in the Arizona desert to carry on ex- perimentation in this field. He has already developed rockets which have attained the incredible speed of 5,000 miles per hour. Unbelievable as this may seem, it is, perhaps, only a forecast of what lies ahead. Those seeking a career in aviation are naturally interested in its future. Some have said that when the world is once more at peace, aviation will de- crease in importance and extent. Most authorities, however, agree that the end of the war will bring an unprecedented progress to air transportation. With the rapid shrinking of world barriers, air travel be- tween the four corners of the globe will be one of peacetime’s greatest needs. Likewise, from the aerial battles of this war will come groups of men to whom aviation will be the most familiar and important part of their lives. Comparing the flimsy, unreliable planes o f the first World War with the strong, modern, streamlined ships of today, we realize how far aviation has come in forty years. No one can accurately foretell what the next four decades will bring, but it seems safe to predict that air travel will attain a development hith- erto considered visionary. Undoubtedly, much of the freight and passenger traffic formerly carried by ocean liners, trucks, and trains will be taken over by the airplane. Motor congestion along the highways will give way to airplane congestion in the skyways. Air- ships will climb higher into the heavens, their speed will increase, and their maneuverability and safety will make the planes of today seem as antiquated and crude as that first small airship at Kitty Hawk. Of all the development of the twentieth century, aviation seems to hold the possibility of the brightest future. WIN THE WAR WITH A NUTRITION PROGRAM By THERESE EKSTROM Nutrition is the use of the proper foods to build and repair the body, to provide it with warmth and energy, and to protect it against disease. Nutrition is by no means an innovation of the twentieth century; it may have had its beginning in the year 607 B. C. in Jerusalem. According to the custom of the day, the king selected a group of youths who studied to become his courtiers. During the period of instruction, the young men ate the king’s meat and drank his wine. One youth, how- ever, refused to eat the king’s fare. He drank water and ate a nutritious plant called pulse. When his training period was completed, he was healthier and stronger than his companions. From that time on, the king’s courtiers lived on a diet of pulse and water. This is the first instance in recorded history of a nutrition program designed for the purpose of building strength and energy. As the centuries passed there were other isolated efforts at nutritious eating, but man was too en- grossed with the building of vast domains to realize the importance of the food he ate or the effect it had on his achievements. It was not until modern times that a practical, scientific nutrition program was formulated. To understand the reasons for a nutrition program is an aid to more intelligent living. The human body is a machine at work. Its fuel is the food which it consumes; its products are the warmth and energy so necessary for a well-rounded, happy life. One of the primary considerations in a good nu- trition program is the variation in type and amount of food necessary for people engaged in different occupations. Men and women occupied in arduous exercises require six times as many calories per pound per hour as persons sitting at rest, and twice as many calories per pound per hour as a person who is engaged in moderate exercise. Individuals be- tween the ages of one and five years require about twice as many calories as those between eighteen and twenty-five. By planning the daily meals with these facts in mind, the mother of a family can supply overyone with the needed heat energy. If one does not consume enough minerals, pro- teins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins there is dan- ger of undernutrition. Undernutrition manifests it- self in headaches, backaches, and general fatigue. A survey, conducted by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture during the years 1936-1937, showed that the diets of one-quarter of the families of the United States were considered as good. More than a third was rated fair; the remainder was classi- ed as poor. The diets classified as poor or only fair were not confined to families in the lower income brackets, but were found among people in all sta- tions of life. Unfortunately, we do not always realize that our diets are inadequate to our needs. Most of us be- lieve that as long as we satisfy our appetites we are eating sufficient food to keep us well-nourished. We do not stop to consider that there are great fluctua- tions in the amount and kinds of food we eat from meal to meal and from day to day. A good diet must be consistent and must contain proteins, vitamins, fats, minerals, and carbohydrates in adequate quan- tities to meet our particular needs. We must decide upon a nutrition program and remain faithful to it. In wartime, efforts at maintaining a high level of nutrition are difficult. Thousands of men who are occupied in raising food are taken into the military services. The farm lands of the invaded countries are ruined and rendered useless. The amount and variety of foods available for our consumption are curtailed. Feeding the family in wartime is a major responsi- bility. Eating has always been the most popular of all indoor sports. Mother has always been con- fronted with the question of what to have and will the family like it. Now she must consider the ra- tion book. More than ever before, she has to plan the meals carefully so that she may receive the greatest possible dividends both in food value and point value. A well-planned nutrition program conscientiously adhered to at all times is as important in the war effort as the production of guns, tanks, and ammu- nition. No one can work long tiring hours and do consistently good work when his feet and back hurt, his eyes burn, and his whole body feels sluggish. You can do something to make yourself feel well and courageous. You can eat leafy vegetables, whole grain and enriched breads and cereals, and drink citrus fruit juices. But you must eat these foods regularly if they are to help you. Nutrition is for you and me. It will keep us well; well people are happy; happy people are ambitious and optimistic; optimistic people are courageous; and courageous people win over all obstacles. This wart can be won, and it will be won because Amer- icans are made that way. 50 NURSING IN WAR AND PEACE By Mary CARTER Although women have always cared for the sick and unfortunate, nursing as a profession is a devel- opment of the modern age. The first organized band of nurses was formed by Florence Nightingale to care for the British soldiers in the Crimean War. Prior to that time the care of the sick, particularly in war- time, had been unenlightened and crude. The woman in homespun who deserted her spin- ning wheel to tend the sick and the wounded during the Revolutionary War was not a nurse at all. Sym- pathetic, but unskilled, she did what she could to alleviate pain, but her primary tasks were to dress patients, distribute food, and launder clothing. The actual care of the wounded was left to their com- rades or to a group of untrained corpsmen whose treatment of patients was often rough as well as unskilled. In the American Civil War, Dorothea Dix was appointed superintendent of nurses to serve with the Union Army. More than 6000 women performed hospital work during the four years of the war, but the idea of women nursing soldiers at the front was still too new to be popularly accepted. Youth and beauty seemed to have been hindrances rather than aids in a nursing career. A Civil War recruiting circular of the period carried the following require- ments: “All nurses are required to be very plain- looking and over thirty years of age. Their dresses must be brown or black, with no bows, no curls, or jewelry and no hoopskirts.” In this era army nurses were paid twelve dollars a month if they were white, ten dollars a month if they were Negroes. Addi- tional compensation included ‘“‘one ration of food daily, fuel, and lodging.” Nursing came into its own between the Civil War and the end of the nineteenth century. Almost one hundred years after the volunteer nurses had _at- tempted to help the soldiers of the Revolution, the first recognized school of nursing was established in onl this country. By the time of the Spanish-American War, the prejudice against women serving with the troops had been gradually dispelled, and when ty- phoid fever wiped out nearly eight hundred men, women nurses were recruited by the hundreds. In the present war, nurses are going to every bat- tlefront where our soldiers, sailors, and marines are fighting. In addition, American nurses have gone to England, China, and Russia to help relieve the short- age of nurses in those countries. In China, one in- dividual in 40,000 may receive nursing attention, and more than eight million Chinese die each year because of inadequate sanitation and lack of nursing skill. It has been estimated that in 1939 there was one nurse to every three hundred and twenty-nine persons in the United States. Undoubtedly, the ratio has greatly increased in the past two years. As we all know, a concerted attempt is being made to attract young women into the nursing profession. Standards have been broadened to permit the inclu- sion of larger groups of student nurses to meet the military and civilian demands for 55,000 qualified nurses this year. War service constitutes the chief appeal for nurses today, but the opportunities for a career in peace- time appear almost limitless. There will be new de- velopments in the fields of Public Health and In- dustrial Nursing. The rehabilitation of devastated areas will call for thousands of skilled women to play a vital role in restoring health and happiness. Private nursing in homes and hospitals will, of course, continue, and with discoveries in science and medicine, the average nurse will be far better trained than ever before. The financial reward for nursing is not. great in comparison with other professions, but the satisfac- tion of doing an important job well has its own compensation. It has been said of nurses: “No one gives more of self with less thought of self.’ Advertisin g New England High Carbon Wire Co. MILLBURY, MASS. of W. W. Windle Company Compliments of J.
