ROBERT CAREY, President DAVID LYNCH, Vice-President VIRGINIA LYNCH, Secretary CHARLES LINDBERG, Treasurer The Class of’ Address of Welcome The time has arrived for the class of forty-five to depart from Millbury High. Parents, Teachers, Classmates, and Friends: We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Five, approach the most impor- tant event of our school lives, graduation from high school. The four years we have spent preparing for this event have been four of the darkest and most dismal years that mankind has ever been called upon to face, and only now can men look up to the war-torn skies and see the dark clouds begin to disappear and the dawn of a new world peace approaching. Today, however, let us forget momentarily the great world conflict and renew for the last time the happiest four years of our lives—the years which we spent at Millbury High School. Years such as these we may never know again, but they are ones which we shall cherish forever. We wish to thank our parents who have worked so hard to give us a suitable education, our principal and members of the high school faculty who did all that they could to make our four years, first of all, profitable and then happy. With these thoughts in mind, in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Five, I extend to you a cordial invitation to enjoy with us our Class Day Exercises. CLASS HISTORY overcame these difficulties, and Mr. Beaton allowed us to elect our class officers. Those To some it will be the end of gay happy school days; to others it will be the begin- ning of a different life filled with new ex- periences. Parents and friends of the mem- bers of the graduating class, let me take you back through our four years as stu- dents in Millbury High School. We entered high school in September, 1941, very proud but inexperienced fresh- men. Many hindrances confronted us such as: getting accustomed to the bells, finding our classrooms, and using the correct stair- ways. By the end of the first month we elected were President, Robert Carey; Vice-President, Rudolph Pinsky; Secre- tary, Eileen Stewart; and Treasurer, Ro- land Shepard. Although we joined many clubs, our lack of experience and knowledge prevented us from gaining any offices which were held by the upperclassmen. Our inecapability did not bother us too much because we realized that during the next three years our talents would be recognized. When Mr. Roberts called for football tryouts, we were proud to show the upper- classmen our sportsmanship and Richard Brady and Rudolph Pinsky secured berths on the team. When the basketball season began, Rich- ard Brady, Roland Shepard, and Rudolph Pinsky represented our class. The girls also show ed their sportsmanship since Bar- bara Stockhaus, Virginia Lynch, Eileen Stewart, and Dorothy Vayo responded to Miss Sullivan’s plea for basketball players. In February we experienced our first trial of mid-year examinations and passed them without too much difficulty. The spring brought with it the baseball season, and the boys that reported to Mr. Jannery were Richard Brady, and Roland Shepard. Miss Sullivan selected Ida Pichi- erri, Dorothy Vayo, and Barbara Stock- haus for field hockey. Soon our freshman year was over, and we welcomed the vacation eagerly. We returned in September feeling more confident than we did in the previous year. At our first class meeting we elected the following class officers: President, Robert Carey; Vice-President, Eileen Stewart; Secretary, Arthur Norton; and Treasurer, Raymond Baillargeon. We continued to join the various clubs and to take part in the many activities. Robert Carey was chosen assistant editor of the Reflectorette. When a call was issued for football can- didates, Raymond Baillargeon, Roland Shepard, Charles Webber, Rudolph Pin- sky, Arthur White, and David Lynch an- swered the eall. With the coming of the basketball season the team was supported by such players as Rudolph Pinsky, Richard Brady, Raymond Baillargeon, Roland Shepard, and Charles Lindberg, who was the manager. In the spring Richard Brady and Roland Shepard contributed much to the success of the baseball team. Miss Sullivan selected Ida Pichierri, Dor- othy Vayo, Barbara Stockhaus, and Vir- ginia Lynch for the field hockey team. The rest of the year was uneventful, and we were again turning our thoughts to our ten weeks’ vacation of fun and enjoyment. In September we returned to school eagerly awaiting the events that our junior year would bring. At our first class meet- ing we elected the following class officers: President, Robert Carey; Vice-President, David Lynch; Secretary, Virginia Lynch; and Treasurer, Eileen Stewart. At last, after two years we found our- selves holding offices that many of our predecessors had filled. Robert Carey was again chosen an assistant editor of the Re- flector, aud Mary Harris, assistant editor of the Reflectorette. Virginia Lynch was elected president of both the Biology Club and the Dramatic Club. Eileen Stewart was elected treasurer of the Dramatic Club, and secretary of the Biology Club. Betty Army held the office of treasurer of the Biology Club. The success of the football team this year was due in no small measure to the capable playing of Charles Webber, David Lynch, Arthur Norton, Raymond Baillargeon, Donald Cyr, Richard Brady, Arthur White, Roland Shepard, Harold Blanchard, Ben- jamin Miles, Charles Lindberg, Peter Du- charme, and Rudolph Pinsky. In October a class meeting was held for the purpose of choosing a committee to purchase our class rings. The committee, composed of Eileen Stewart, Raymond Grandone, Eleanor Little, Charles Lind- berg, Robert Carey, and Betty Army, se- lected a ring that was very satisfactory to the class. In December the boys who appeared on hand for basketball were David Lynch, Ru- dolph Pinsky, Roland Shepard, Richard Brady, Benjamin Miles, John Barone, and Charles Lindberg was manager. The team had a very successful season in which they won the championship of the Blackstone Valley League. The girls’ team resumed its activities this year and was ably taken care of by Dor- othy Vayo, Ann Credit, Eileen Stewart, Annette Vaillette, Barbara Stockhaus, and Virginia Lynch. In the spring when Mr. Jannery called for baseball tryouts, Rudolph Pinsky, Ar- thur White, Raymond Baillargeon, Roland Shepard, Raymond Grandone, John Ba- rone, and Richard Brady were chosen for the team. The girls’ hockey team was a favorite among the members of our class. Dorothy Vayo, Barbara S tockhaus, Ann Credit, Ida Pichierri, Virginia Lynch, and Mary Harris as manager represented us. Our next class meeting was held in order to elect committees for our Junior Prom. Robert Carey was chosen chairman of the orchestra; Virginia Lynch, of the decora- tions; Mary Harris, of the advertisements; and Dorothy Vayo, of the tickets and invi- tations. The decorations were arranged in a garden scene and proved to be most at- tractive. The Prom, which was a huge success so- cially and financially, proved a fitting trib- ute to the seniors, who were leaving us. Although we felt sorry to see the seniors leave, we also looked forward with delight to the time we would enjoy the place of honor left vacant by them. We returned to school in September for our most interesting and eventful year. We started the year feeling very dignified, but this feeling of dignity soon left us when we found that we had to abide by the rules the same as we did in previous years. At our first meeting we elected our class officers. We again chose Robert Carey president because of his leadership and popularity among the students. The other officers chosen were David Lynch, Vice- President; Virginia Lynch, Secretary; and Charles Lindberg, Treasurer. Mary Harris was now editor-in-chief of the Reflector, and Robert Carey became the new editor-in-chief of the Reflectorette. Rudolph Pinsky was chosen captain of the football team, and was assisted by Charles Webber, David Lynch, Arthur Norton, Harold Blanchard, Roland Shep- ard, Arthur White, Richard Brady, Donald Cyr, Raymond Baillargeon, Benjamin Miles, Peter Ducharme, John Barone, and Raymond Grandone. In November a committee including El- eanor Little, June Adams, Irene White, Ar- thur Norton, and Richard Brady selected the Bushong Studio for the class pictures. In January Robert Carey, Mary Harris, and Peter Ducharme displayed their tal- ents in the school play entitled “Spring Fever.” They gave fine performances and were a credit to the senior class. Charles Lindberg was chosen stage manager of this production. In February we chose our committees for our Senior Prom. Virginia Lynch was chairman of decorations; Eleanor Little, of the orchestra; and Eileen Stewart, of the tickets and invitations. The decorations were based on a valentine arrangement that proved very appropriate for that time of year. The basketball team, which again won the Blackstone Valley League title, de- pended for its success on Roland Shepard, David Lynch, Rudolph Pinsky, Richard Brady, Benjamin Miles, and James Flan- nagan. Virginia Lynch was chosen captain of the girls’ basketball team and was aided by Dorothy Moore, Ida Pichierri, Ann Credit, and Annette Vaillette. Virginia Lynch was chosen by the faculty and members of the class to be the D. A. R. representative. She won this honor be- cause of her leadership, dependability. goodfellowship, and trustworthiness. Frances Cowan was chosen editor-in- chief of the AFTERMATH. Mary Harris and Ann Credit were voted to be her assistants. Charles Lindberg was placed in charge of the advertisements. During our senior year three of our out- standing athletes, Rudolph Pinsky, Ray- mond Baillargeon, and David Lynch, were inducted into the Armed Services. These boys contributed a vital part to our athletic program and have been greatly missed since their departure. In April Mr. Beaton announced the honor students. Those achieving highest honors in order of rank are: Mary Harris, Valedictorian; Frances Cowan, Salutato- rian; Marjorie Figgins, First Honor Stu- dent: and Ann Credit, Second Honor Student. The next business to be taken care of was the selection of Class Day speakers. Those chosen were Giver of Gifts, Peter Ducharme; Prophet, Patricia May; Statis- tician, Hazel Hamilton; Testator, Raymond Grandone; Omissions and Corrections, Ro- berta Dobie; and Historian, Betty Army. Mary Harris and James Flannagan were chosen to write the class song. In April the boys that reported to base- ball practice were James Flannagan, John Richard Barone, Raymond Grandone, ;LASS P My postwar plans had always been to visit Europe, and these plans were about to be realized. I journeyed to New York by automobile and upon reaching there, I parked it at a garage owned and oper- ated by Herbert Lemieux. I called a taxi which took me to La Guardia Airfield where I was to board an airplane. As I was waiting for my plane to come in, I saw Lois Reade standing a few feet away. I approached her and learned that she was now a reporter on the New York Times, and was waiting to interview a new movie actress who was scheduled to arrive on the Brady, Benjamin Miles, Roland Shepard, and Arthur White. The girls’ hockey team consisted of cap- tain, Virginia Lynch, Dorothy Vayo, Ann Credit, Barbara Stockhaus, Dorothy Moore, and Ida Pichierri. The following weeks were spent in prep- arations to make our Class Day and Com- mencement exercises ones that would long be remembered and cherished by us. The experiences of the past four years have been pleasant ones in which we have attempted to work as a unit for the indi- vidual happiness of each and every mem- ber of the class. The time has arrived when we shall be a part of the class of forty-five in spirit only, and we must face the grim reality that this class will prob- ably never assemble as an entire unit again. Therefore let us as individuals strive to uphold the ideals and lessons which we were taught and which we learned from associating with each other, and let us re- member alway s that “Today decides to- morrow.” Betty Army. 0OPHECY next plane. As we looked into the sky, we could see a plane circling for a landing. When the plane landed, the first one to step from it was Lucette Brown, who proved to be the celebrated movie star. My plane was almost ready to leave, so I climbed aboard. To my surprise I saw Dorothy Vayo and Carl Orne seated on the plane. When I talked with them, I learned that they were travelling to Europe on their honeymoon. Just as I was getting settled in my seat, the air hostess, Betty Army, came aboard and informed us that Raymond Baillargeon was going to be the pilot on our trip. Dorothy and Carl told me that they had purchased a copy of the Millbury Journal just before they left Mill- bury and that the headlines stated that Dorothy Moore and Roberta Dobie, the Government Girls, had obtained a citation from the President for their excellent work in Washington. It did not take us long to reach Europe as the pilot was very capable. We alighted from the plane in England, and I imme- diately took a taxi to the hotel where I had made reservations. The hotel was owned by John Barone and Richard Brady, who always seemed to enter business deals to- gether. After I had unpacked my baggage, I went to the dining room for dinner. The headwaiter, Carl Hafstrom, took me to my table. I had a delicious meal which con- sisted of Hungarian goulash made by the famous cook, Ray Hunt, and which was served to me by the charming waitress, Mil- dred Skamarack. My first stop after I left the hotel was at a gift shop owned by June Adams. Irene White, who was a clerk in the shop, waited on me and told me that this shop was a great success as there were so many visitors in England at this time. My next stop was at a famous night club whose owner proved to be Warren Bald- win, a playboy. Robert Carey and his or- chestra, featuring Betty Paquette as vo- calist, and Therese Dufresne as pianist, were playing there. Robert’s band, which was making a world-wide tour, was becom- ing famous since it was the only band to have a girl drummer, who was Marilyn Cowland. The next day I left the hotel early in the morning so that | might have enough time to see all the points of interest. I took a seat on a bus which was about to leave on a sight-seeing excursion. As we were pass- ing a beautiful lake, I saw two familiar fig- ures fishing along the banks. They were none other than Harold Blanchard and Charles Webber, those famous fishermen. We stopped at a small village which was noted for its modern homes. These homes had all been decorated by Frances Cowan who was earning world-wide recognition as an interior decorator. She had finished a job of redecorating the White House in Washington for the new President of the United States, David Lynch. I attended a stage show that night in the London Garden. First to appear on the stage was a quartet composed of Shirley Carey, Eileen Stewart, Kay Morgan, and Louise Richard. They were dressed in very bright clothes, and they did a gypsy dance which was most pleasing to the audience. Next to appear were Marjorie Figgins, Doris Goryl, and Annette Vaillette who sang “Shortnin’ Bread” accompanied by the harmonica playing of Raymond Gran- done. After their number was over, the audience was surprised by the appearance of Pauline Grenier, the lion tamer, fol- lowed by a very ferocious looking lion. She seemed to be an expert as the lion would calm down whenever she snapped her whip. I went backstage after the show was over and learned that the very ferocious lion was enacted by Donald Cyr and Ben- jamin Miles. On the next day, I journeyed to Paris to do some sight-seeing and a bit of shopping. My first stop was at a hat shop owned by Phyllis Alix. Mary Whipple, a perennial customer, was there trying to decide on a hat. She was accompanied by her hus- band, Charles Lindberg, who always had to go along to help her pick out hats, but who never really had a part in the deci- sions at all. Phyllis told me that Mary Harris, the famous doctor, had been in a few minutes before. She had been looking for her husband, Rudolph Pinsky, who was an inventor. He had perfected an um- brella which, when you pressed a button, would sail into the air and carry you wher- ever you wanted to go. Poor Mary was never able to find Rudy since he invented this new mode of transportation as it did not always work as planned. I left the hat shop and walked along the street. I suddenly heard a great deal of commotion and soon saw a huge parade led by the drum majorette, Hazel Hamilton, coming toward me. In the line of march was an open carriage drawn by six white horses, and in the carriage sat James Flan- nagan, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls. Jimmy, I learned, had become the number one glamour boy and was also a swoon-crooner. Peter Ducharme, a doctor, and Eileen Gallacher, a nurse, walked along with the parade and revived those in the crowd who were overcome by the sight of their idol. The crowd followed the parade so that the sidewalks were soon cleared. I ap- proached a small place with a sign over it which said “Fortunes Told by Madame Rhubarb.” I entered through the small, dark doorway and came upon a table with a crystal ball in the middle of it. From the black curtains behind the table, a sound could be heard and before I knew it Mad- ame Rhubarb was before me. Despite her costume, I recognized her to be my old friend, Rhea Gaulin. After she had told my fortune, we sat and talked about the old days at Millbury High School. Rhea told me that Rita Payette was private sec- retary to the Prime Minister in England, and that she was now on a vacation in the States. William Rock was posing for ad- vertisements for some cereal that was sup- posed to make one almost as strong and powerful as supermen. Barbara Stock- haus had finally settled down with her friend from the Village and was living in Millbury. Betty Hamilton and Eleanor Little were on a trip around the world, but Betty married the Prince of Wales and be- came a Princess, so Eleanor continued the trip alone. The next day I left Paris to spend some time in Italy. As I was strolling down one of the narrow streets in Rome, I heard a thundering sound and, turning, I saw a vi- sion of something on wheels coming to- ward me. I rushed to the sidewalk just in time to see a jeep, with the wheels more often in the air than on the ground, speed- ing by. The driver was Arthur White who was one of the first to buy one of the army jeeps after they were released for civilian use. Arthur taxied people in his jeep, but I refrained from taking a ride because I did not care to trust my life to such a reck- less driver. Jeeps, however, were going out of style since Arthur Norton—the jack of all trades—had discovered that a heli- copter would go just as well on the ground as it did in the air. I attended the International Olympic Games in Italy and was pleased when Vir- ginia Lynch was announced the swimming champion. Ann Credit was circulating in the audience trying to sell copies of a dic- tionary which she had published. Among the huge crowd, I recognized Ida Pichierri and Roland Shepard and their family of three boys. As I was about to leave the stadium, I met Lucille Snow and Barbara Votour. They had just attended a fashion show in Paris at the Royal Dress Shop owned by Irene Mastalerz. They were so interested in the fashion show that they forgot about the Olympics. They didn’t know how they could get to Italy in time to see some of the sports events until Bes- sie and Shirley Murray came along and offered their services. Bessie and Shirley owned their own plane and said _ they would be glad to take them to Italy. When the plane flew over the grounds where the Olympics were being held, Lucille and Barbara bailed out and landed right in front of the gate. I was extremely pleased to see so many of my classmates and would have enjoyed spending more time with them. However, I was limited to a three weeks’ vacation, so I had to hop the first plane to the United States in order that I would be back to work at the scheduled time. Patricia May. JUNE B.

This document is signed, sealed, delivered, and witnessed by the following: Lorp OLtiver DuMBARTON QUACKENBUSH Joun Henry JoserHus By the hand of their clerk, RAYMOND GRANDONE I have often read articles written by the wife of Pierre Rene, the famous scientist, who has done so much good because of his study of tropical diseases. Her articles on the hair styles of the native in Africa are read by every woman who cares at all about keeping up with the times. She has a talent for befriending the natives and is so under- standing and kind to them that they reveal to her their most cherished secrets concerning their personal headdresses. She has studied native hair-dos extensively and knows just which ones will be fitting for fash- ionable women the world over. She has been so successful at this that now just a few words from her and a new style appears in Paris, London, and New York. Imagine my delight when last month I was able to obtain a ticket for her personal appearance in New York. I had looked forward to her return for a long time and was envied by most of my friends who had been unable to obtain tickets. When the famous stylist appeared, I recognized her to be none other than Patricia May. As soon as she fin- ished her lecture, | went backstage to see her and she seemed very glad to see me. She assured me that her work was extremely interesting and hoped to continue it for many years to come. RosBerta Dosir.

AK TER MAT O The Glee Club is composed of an all-girl chorus of eighty-five voices. The Club meets every Tuesday third period in the high school auditorium under the direction of Miss Katherine Bowe. The Glee Club has prepared a delightful program for commencement exer- cises in June. The songs that it will present are the following: “Sleepy Hollow,” by Richard Kountz; “The Woodpecker Song,” by Ethelbert Nevin; “Waltz from ‘Faust,’ ” by Charles Gounod; and “Mon Desir,” by Ethelbert Nevin. The Glee Club officers for 1944-45 are the following: President, Grace Welch; Vice-President, Emma Chapdelaine; Secretary, Ruth Boutilier; and Treasurer, Adrienne Lachapelle. The Glee Club wishes to express its thanks to M iss Bowe for the kindly interest she has shown and for the many enjoyable hours she has given the members during the course of the year. THERESE DUFRESNE Glee Club Many members of the class of 1945 were on the staff of the Reflector this year. Roberta Dobie wrote very interesting book reviews while Eleanor Little and Eileen Stewart were the Alumni Editors. Ann Credit gave us news of Girls’ Athletics and Patricia May was Exchange Editor. Harold Blanchard was one of the business managers, and the typists were Eleanor Little, Marjorie Fig- gins, Hazel Hamilton, Patricia May and Shirley Carey. Mary Harris was Editor- in-Chief. The entire staff wishes to express sincere thanks to Miss Burns, Miss Walsh. and Mrs. McCarron for helping to make the Reflector a success. Mary T. Harris Reflector The year 1944-1945 saw a marked change in the edition of our monthly school paper, The Reflectorette. We, the staff of the paper, believe these changes have made our paper a very successful one. Our first change was from a mimeographed sheet to a printed page, and this certainly improved the paper's appearance. Together with the new printed page came two pape r clips which fastened the pages together and made our paper look very professional. Of course a new staff was selected, and it consisted of Editor-in-Chief, Robert Carey; Assistant Editors, Thomas Hamilton, Sylvia Rice, John Hayes: Class Reporters, Evelyn Bergstrom, Dorothy Vayo, ‘Lois Reade, Grace Welch, Joan Shea, Roland Dunn; Alumni Editors, Eileen Stewart, Barbara Bordeaux; Literary Editor, Anne Young; Cartoonist, Emma Chapdelaine; Business Man- agers, Charles Lindberg, George Brady; Exchange Editor, Therese Dufresne; Boys’ Athletics, Paul Chase; Girls’ Athletics, Eva Ballin; Typists, Eleanor Little. Patricia May, and Hazel Hamilton. Probably the best thing that was done during the whole year was the send- ing of the paper to all the servicemen and women whose addresses we were given. Soon after sending the paper to those in the service, we began to receive letters of thanks from the boys and girls stationed in many parts of the world who were glad to receive a touch of home. Many of them gave us suggestions and encour- aged us to continue with the good work we were doing. We want it to be known that no one deserves more credit for our paper’s success than Miss Burns who spent untold time and patience in supervising and guiding us. She deserves a vote of thanks together with the whole staff which has done a grand job in making our Reflectorette a real newspaper. RosBert CAREY lectorette The Cheerleaders have had a very successful season under the capable lead- ership of Miss Marlborough. The girls cheered at all the league games and ended their season by cheer- ing at the Clark University Basketball Tournament at Clark University, Worcester. The members of the squad are as follows: Roberta Webber, Elizabeth Flem- ing, Dorothy Lambert, Patricia McGrath, Eleanor Tolman, Elinor Fleming, and Eleanor Little. We, the Cheerleaders, wish to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to Miss Marlborough for her advice in helping to make our cheering squad a success. ELEANOR LITTLE Cheering Millbury High School opened its basketball season under the direction of Coach George Sherry. Many candidates reported for practice and were given a warm reception by the eoach. After spending many strenuous sessions each afternoon, Richard Brady, David Lynch, John Barone, Robert Lucas, Rudolph Pinsky, and Roland Shepard were chosen for the first team. During the season Rudy Pinsky was inducted into the Armed Forces, so William LeClaire immediately took his place as guard. The team won the Blackstone Valley League Championship and was invited to play in the Clark University Tournament. In the first game of the tourna- ment Westboro was defeated. Uxbridge was the victor in the semi-final game. The season on the whole was highly successful since eleven straight games were won before one was dropped to Northbridge. The record for the season consisted of thirteen victories and three defeats. The members of the team wish to thank Coach George Sherry for his fine coaching and are proud of the successful season which they enjoyed under his able leadership. The members of the team also wish to thank the Athletic Association for the jackets it bought for the lettermen. Basketball RoLAND SHEPARD Members of the football team greeted a new coach in August when George Sherry took over his duties for the 1944 season. Mr. Sherry called the team for practice before school officially opened in September, and many boys responded to his call. The seniors who reported and received berths on the first or second team were as follows: Captain Rudy Pinsky, Ray Baillargeon, Roland Shepard, John Barone, Peter Ducharme, Arthur White, Harold Blanchard, Arthur Norton, Donald Cyr, Benjamin Miles, James Flannagan, Raymond Grandone, and Rich- ard Brady. Many of these seniors were seasoned players, and their services will be sorely missed when the football team assembles next fall. A bird’s eye picture of the team’s record shows two victories, six defeats, and one tie. This is not an enviable record, but those figures fail to show the spirit, the courage, and the fine sportsmanship which characterized the attitude of every member of the team. I, in behalf of the members of the team, wish to thank Coach Sherry for his patience in coaching us and wish him many happy, successful years at Millbury High School. We seniors hope that next year’s football team will achieve many more victories than we were able to realize. RicHArp Brapy Football With the coming of spring our base- ball coach, Mr. Jannery, issued a call for baseball candidates. He was amply re- warded since thirty-five boys turned out for practice. The returning veterans were Dick Brady, Roland Shepard, Ray Grandone, Donald Moe, Bob Lucas, Bill LeClaire, John Barone, and Arthur White. Fourteen games have been scheduled for the season and they are as follows: baseball April 20 Sutton High April 24 Douglas High April 27. Northbridge High May 1 Uxbridge High May 4 _ Shrewsbury High May 8 _ St. Peter’s High May 11 Grafton High May 15 Auburn High May 18 Uxbridge High May 22 Shrewsbury High May 24 Douglas High May 25 St. John’s High May 29 Grafton High June 1 Auburn High Out-of-town games We wish to extend our hearty thanks to Mr. Jannery for his untiring efforts, and we also wish him success with fu- ture baseball teams. ARTHUR WHITE JoHN BARONE Because of transportation difficulties, the field hockey games were limited to four this year. When Miss Sullivan issued a call for candidates, many girls responded enthusiastically. Since so many veteran players joined the team, Miss Sullivan found it necessary to eliminate all freshmen; however, the freshman girls showed their good sportsmanship by attending each practice session. Our first game on October 11, which was with Holden, ended in a 1-1 tie. On October 20, Shrewsbury crushed us by a score of 5-1. In our return game with Holden, Millbury was the winner with a score of 1-0. In the final game on November 13, Shrewsbury emerged victorious. Our girls, although not always favored, played a lively and vigorous game. The seniors who received berths on the team were Captain Virginia Lynch, Ida Pichierri, Ann Credit, Dorothy Moore, Dot Vayo, and Barbara Stockhaus. The field hockey players hope that Miss Sullivan may resume a full schedule next season and wishes her much success; they want to thank Grace Welch for her excellent cooperation as manager. BARBARA STOCKHAUS Field Hockey Our class was not represented in basketball in the freshman year. Many heeded Miss Sullivan’s call, however, and a few gained positions on the second team squad. The following year no team was organized as the Town Hall was not avail- able for games. The team was reinstated in our junior year and we were represented by Ann Credit and Virginia Lynch, who both earned letters. When a call was issued early in December for basketball candidates, five seniors answered it enthusiastically. The regulars for the team were Captain Virginia Lynch playing center guard, and Ann Credit playing center forward. Substitutes from the senior class were Dorothy Moore, Annette Vaillette, and Ida Pichierri. Other first team regulars were Norma Fontaine, left guard; Elinor Fleming, right guard; Peggy Norton, right forward; and Ruth Boutilier, left forward. At the beginning of the season everything pointed toward a championship team as eight straight games were won, and the girls hoped for an undefeated year. As the basketball season neared its end, the girls slackened their pace and the last two games were lost, thus crushing their hopes but not their spirits. In leaving, the seniors wish next year’s team success in achieving the unde- feated season which this year’s team so earnestly hoped for. For Miss Sullivan the seniors extend their best wishes and thank her for her able coaching. basketball VirciniA LYNCH SERVICEMEN’S BENEFITS IN A POSTWAR WORLD As our boys have returned from the wars in which the United States has been involved, they have found waiting for them certain benefits and privileges given in recognition of their sacrifice. The Civil War soldiers were granted a certain amount of land and the Spanish-American conflict gave the men a sizable bonus. Veterans of World War I were also mustered out of service with money payments, and the families of deceased vet- erans may also obtain government checks for sup- port every month. But what about this war, the greatest of all? Our fighting men are coming home every day, and it is our duty to know what benefits they may expect in the postwar world of tomorrow which is becoming the world of today. On October 18, 1944, the seventy-eighth Congress in its second session passed a joint bill composed of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act and certain regulations under Selective Service. The bill had been proposed for some time, as everyone saw the need of aiding our soldiers. Much discussion was held in Congress to determine the best method for postwar readjustment. However, it was finally agreed that the act covered all sections, including loans, pensions, education, tax-relief, and re- employment. This so-called “G. I. Bill of Rights” includes much of interest to the serviceman. Loans may be made to purchase a home or to construct a place of business, if the person has seen ninety days service or has been disabled in line of duty. The United States Government will guarantee the loan up to fifty per cent of the amount borrowed from any local bank, but this guarantee can never ex- ceed two thousand dollars. The Administration of Veterans’ Affairs in Washington has a few prelim- inary requirements, mainly that the loan must be used for payment of the home or business in ques- tion. For farming and some trades the veteran must have had considerable experience. This readjustment act also provides pensions for men honorably discharged because of physical dis- ability due to active service. The pensions range from $11.50 to $115.00 per month, depending on the degree of physical handicap. Pension claims should be filed with the American Red Cross, the Amer- ican Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, or the Dis- abled American Veterans’ Society. Hospitalization is open to all servicemen or women, given free if illness is due to active service or if the veteran cannot afford treatments. Voca- tional rehabilitation, life insurance, and unemploy- ment insurance are given to all veterans in every branch of the service, disabled or non-disabled. The second part of the Readjustment Act, called the Selective Service System, has a reemployment division which gives advice on returning to prewar jobs and obtaining new positions. Mustering-out pay is given by the War and Navy Departments and tax exemption to a certain degree is provided by the State and Federal Bureaus of Internal Rev- enue. These comprise practically al] the benefits of the act as given to the returning veteran. But of what value are they? How will the sol- dier adapt himself to these advantages? It is being proved every day that he can get a college educa- tion, a new home, or a start in business from these loans, and so map out his life in a land gradually returning to peace-time trades. How different is this planned reconversion from the turmoil which might exist if Congress had not approved this leg- islation. We at home appreciate the act because our boys are happy in coming home and because we can greet them in a country of new opportunity. We have a definite part to play in the security of every soldier, sailor, and marine by knowing each section of this Readjustment Act and passing the information on to those who have defended their nation so heroically. We can learn more of this by careful attention to our newspapers, periodicals, and radio reports. It is our duty to do so in order that we may make each of our boys content in the postwar world he has dreamed of so often and fought for so well. Mary T. Harris THE AMERICAS—NORTH AND SOUTH With the acceptance of Argentina’s delegates to the San Francisco Conference the representation of the South American countries is complete. These neighbors to the south of us have sent many of their most brilliant and distinguished men to this meeting of world-renowned leaders, for through this conference South America is hoping for a unified Western Hemisphere. For the past several years thinking people in North and South America have been wishing for a united America. They see in such a union a solu- tion to the problem of many _ inter-American disputes. Thus, when the eleven South American countries joined the League of Nations after World War I they hoped that the League would help settle the many difficulties raised in the New World between the United States and themselves. But they were disappointed on this score because the latter failed to join the League. Because Brazil was refused a permanent seat on the council and because Britain and France dominated the League, the South Amer- ican countries resigned soon afterwards. But the South American people did not give up the idea of a unified America. At the Pan-Amer- ican Conferences in 1923, 1936, and again in 1938, they proposed the establishment of an American League. Each time they failed. Argentina was always the obstacle because the United States would rival her prestige in the league. But in spite of the defeat of the plan, many of our Latin- American neighbors still cherish the thought that someday an American League will be established. Nevertheless there are certain obstacles to be overcome before a union can be consummated. First, there are widely different economic stand- ards between North and South America for the Latin-Americans regard us as millionaires and themselves as virtual slaves to our financial dom- ination. It might be added that the Good Neigh- bor policy is also a Good Business policy. In the year before the war the difference between United States exports to South America and their exports to us was $250,000,000 in our favor. Second, be- cause of our governmental system, there is much danger of frequent internal policy change, there- fore a foreign policy change. Third, the difference in languages and appreciations make a wide gulf to be spanned. The chief languages below the equator are Spanish, Portuguese, and some French. If the United States wishes to make friends with the South American countries the people must learn those languages, and they must also become sympathetic to South American tastes in art, music, and literature. And fourth, American business in South America will have to raise wages and be con- tent with less profit if we are to keep the good- will of the Latin-American people. Realizing these obstacles, the Inter-American Financial and Economie Advisory Committee pre- sented to the Pan-American Conference in 1940 the following list of problems to be solved: (1) Increase in countries of domestic concumption of their exportable surpluses; (2) Arrangements to promote trade among American nations; (3) Cre- ation of instruments of inter-American cooperation for temporary storing and marketing of surplus commodities; (4) Establishment of organizations for distribution of part of surplus as humanitarian relief measure; and (5) Study of broader system of inter-American cooperation in trade, industry. and credit. Another cause of South American resentment are the cartoons in many of our newspapers. These portray the United States as Uncle Sam and South America as a stumpy litthe Mexican with a serape. Or else Uncle Sam, like a big brother, has two little Mexicans by the napes of their necks and is banging their heads together for being naughty. South Americans resent being treated this way—in cartoons and in reality. In answer to the challenge of the Pan-American Conference, the report of the Inter-American Ju- ridical Committee of 1943 made the following rec- ommendations: (1) Repudiation of the use of force; (2) Unqualified obligation to settle disputes by peaceful methods; (3) Solidarity in face of ag- gression; (4) More effective international organ- ization; (5) Cooperation of all nations in the new association; (6) A more effective system of col- lective security; (7) Elimination of political im- perialism and nationalism; (8) Elimination of eco- nomic imperialism and nationalism; and (9) Elim- ination of the factors of war. Also with this plan, postwar planning boards have been created by many of the countries— among them Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina. These boards have already spon- sored lecture courses and addresses, and have dis- tributed pamphlets dealing with the subject. In the United States similar boards have been es- tablished. Thus, through the mutual efforts of the citizens of the United States and South America, we, the American people, are well started on the way to pleasant associations with each other. FRANCES COWAN OUR NATION AND OUR WORLD Freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion— world powers sneered at our forefathers when they met to build a country on these ideals. It took many years to establish this nation, years of hard- ship to create a nation out of a trackless wilder- ness. But it was done. Like the ancient Egyptians who carried one block at a time into the desert to build their sphinx so went the pioneers into the wilderness, carrying with them the determination to build a free country. They built schools in which to teach their children to become a free, intelligent people able to take their rightful place among the family of nations; they built churches to guide their chil- dren in the way of right. If men like George Washington and Ben Frank- lin, who met in Philadelphia more than a century and a half ago to discuss the formation of a united states, could sit at the conference being held in San Francisco, I believe they would feel a sense of kinship with the delegates from the nations of the world. The conference at San Francisco has the same objective in mind as that historic meeting in Philadelphia, but, unlike the Philadelphia confer- ence, it holds behind those closed doors not only the fate of our country, but also the fate of the whole world. We have secured our blessings of liberty and happiness; our forefathers made cer- tain of that. Since their time man has expanded his knowledge; he has devised new means to gain his ends. In his quest for new and greater con- quests of nature and knowledge, he has endan- gered the position of democratic nations and in- deed, of the whole world. Americans can no longer scoff at war; we can- not read about an uprising in Spain, as our fathers did, and discuss it as we would a ball game. How easy it was to say, “We can wash our hands of for- eign affairs. The Atlantic and the Pacific will pro- tect us.” Japan proved in 1941 that there is no longer a Pacific Ocean as far as war is concerned; German submarines showed us that the Atlantic is not an impregnable barrier against the forces of tyranny. We have been attacked on all sides but we have shown the enemy and the world that de- mocracy is strong, that nothing will defeat the spirit of those men in Philadelphia. Their spirit is present now in San Francisco just as if they were sitting among the Russian, Chinese, and Eng- lish representatives. We should pray for divine guidance in order that we shall not disappoint them and the people who have come to look upon us as a great protector of freedom. However, it is important for us to remember that all the problems of our own country have not been solved. At the same time that we help to di- rect the affairs of the world, we must look to- ward our own domestic difficulties. What is to be done for the returning soldiers? How will his well-deserved happiness be insured? How can in- dustry reconvert to peace-time pursuits without plunging this country into another depression? We cannot let America slide back into the bleak de- pression of the 1930’s. It would be breaking the American tradition of meeting problems face to face and overcoming them. Labor, economics, and capital will not be the only questions. What about racial issues? It is only natural that a Negro who fought for America should expect to gain more equality, more inde- pendence. It is only right that he should have it. His problem cannot be detoured. His children must be educated; his living conditions improved; and his social standard raised. This problem is only one. There is the immi- gration policy which must be revised. What people should be allowed to enter our country? Should our enemies in war be allowed to claim citizenship in this country? We have a heritage to which we must adhere, a heritage of offering refuge to the weary, the oppressed and the hunted but we can- not become a refuge for those who would under- mine our way of life. But, on the other hand, we cannot be entirely oblivious of other peoples and their ways of life. We have been brought much closer to them than most people realize. We must learn foreign lan- guage and customs more thoroughly than in the past. Foreign economics will be our problems. Learning to know and to understand the other peoples of the world will be our duty. Through all the tumult caused by war, we must remember the most important of all things. We are Americans. We are no longer an inexperi- enced nation striving for existence, but a mighty power to whom the world will always turn for aid. We have grown rapidly, we have come a long way since our forefathers began that conference in Philadelphia, but let us not forget our heritage, a heritage based on freedom and tolerance. Now it is up to us to preserve that heritage for all the world to see. We must make our history some- thing of which tomorrow’s children will be as proud as we are of our fathers who established this nation. Our torch of liberty is a mighty symbol] of justice; let us hold it high and guard it well. ANN CREDIT MOTION PICTURES IN THE WORLD OF TOMORROW Throughout the war, the motion picture indus- try has supported our nation in many ways. Up to the present time, approximately fifty-one million prints of both feature pictures and short subjects have been shown free of charge to our men in uni- form overseas; and many hundreds of entertainers have traveled overseas to make personal appear- ances. On the home front, all theaters have cooperated by showing recruiting films for the Cadet Nurses, Spars, Waves, and Wacs. Theaters have proved to be aggressive salesmen in Red Cross and war loan drives. Now as victory approaches, motion pictures will play a vital part in solving many of the problems which will be confronted in the post- war world. As millions of men return from battle, they will be faced with the problem of readjustment. Many will be physically handicapped. New hope and self-respect must be restored to them. The motion picture industry will help to accomplish this task by producing pictures showing how disabled vet- erans may make the best of what they do have. Films will be made to train new workers and teach older ones new skills. New methods of manufac- ture will be demonstrated on the screen to help these men to find a place in the world of peace to come. For many years, American films have enriched every market in which they were shown. The flow of entertainment must continue in the future. Every possible means of communication, education, and information must be used in order to bring about a better understanding among the nations of the world. Freedom of the world’s screens will be an important factor in effecting a lasting peace. . People who have been living in the strictly cen- sored countries of Europe will be hungry for news. Every shred of information will be utilized to re- educate them and build up their faith and spirit. Good pictures will be produced to serve as am- bassadors of goodwill. Experiences which are com- mon to men of every race, color, and nationality will be portrayed on the screen; thereby establish- ing a common bond of sympathy and understand- ing among the peoples of the world. There has never been a greater need for recrea- ation than there is in the world today. Work car- ried over into leisure hours can become a heavy burden. Motion pictures will serve, as they have in the past, as a means of entertainment and relax- ation. ‘lhe motion picture industry will continue to produce good pictures not only because enter- tainment is necessary, but because it benefits soci- ety by striving to satisfy man’s need for recreation. Many of the pictures to be produced will deal with the problems of employment, American life and its achievements, subjects relating to health and nutrition, pictures dealing with the problems confronting people of the retirement age, themes that will help to inspire and rebuild children who have been emotionally upset by the dreadful expe- riences of war, and films dealing with the prob- lems of women in industry when they return to their home life. Since the war began, films have been used more and more in training and education. They will be used not only to teach students, but also to train teacher s as well. Many of the outstanding univer- sities and schools in the United States have been using films for many years. It is apparent that films will have a permanent place in the teaching programs of every school in the world of to- morrow. The responsibility of the motion picture indus- try is to give the public pictures of high quality. The industry has proved that even during this great war, there were no themes or situations that could not be treated with good taste and decency The industry will aim toward this goal even more in the future. The industry will not fail to de- velop the full usefulness of American pictures at this moment when it has the greatest opportunity to serve the peoples of the world in a manner which will contribute to a better society.
