JENIUH CERAGo ia This day, June third, nineteen hundred and forty-six, opens our commencement- week activities. Although it will end four years of carefree school life, it will be the beginning of new careers, new opportun- ities, and the training of new citizens who will find their niches in the world. Parents and friends of the members of the grad- uating class, let us review the events of our four years in high school. We entered high school in September, 1942, very eager but incompetent fresh- men. During the first few weeks, we had several problems confronting us such as using the correct stairway, finding our classrooms, and getting accustomed to the bells. After these difficulties had been overcome, Mr. Beaton allowed us to hold our first class meeting. The officers elected were: President, Thomas Hamilton; Vice- President, Robert Lange; Secretary, Betty Johnson; and Treasurer, Mertie Angell. Although we realized that our lack of knowledge and experience prevented us from holding responsible positions, we joined many clubs. We knew that the time would come when our ability would be recognized, Mertie Angell, Ruth Boutlier, Blanche Caron, Emma Chapdelaine, Margaret Don- nelly, Elinor Fleming, Beatrice Gillert, Geraldine LaBreck, Patricia Lindsay, Ruth Moore, and Sylvia Rice became members of the field hockey team. Grace Welch represented the class as a member of the Reflectorette. With the new year came our first ex- perience with mid-year examinations. Without too much difficulty we passed them successfully. When the basketball season began, William Figgins, Robert Lucas, and George Brady, who was manager, supported the team as members of our class. When Mr. Jannery called for baseball tryouts, we were proud to show the upper- classmen such players as Robert Lange, Richard Donovan, William Figgins, and Roland Gibeau. Soon it was the end of our freshman year, and we joyously looked forward to our summer vacation, free from studies and books. When we returned to school in Septem- ber as sophomores, we felt older and wiser and sought to hold offices. Thomas Ham- ilton was chosen Assistant Editor of the Reflectorette and Grace Welch, Assistant Editor of the Reflector. Richard Fairbanks was elected Vice-President of the Biology Club. At our second class meeting in October, we re-elected Thomas Hamilton, President; Robert Lange, Vice-President; Betty John- son, Secretary; and Mertie Angell, Treas- urer. The candidates for football this season were: Donald Boucher, Joseph Budreau, William Figgins, Martin McManus, and Walter Tebo. Alphonse Lacouture was as- sistant manager of the team. Miss Sullivan selected Blanche Caron, Elinor Fleming, Ruth Boutlier, Geraldine LaBreck, Emma Chapdelaine, Mertie An- gell, Sylvia Rice, Ruth Moore, Margaret Donnelly, and Beatrice Gillert for the hockey team. During the successful basketball season of seven victories and one defeat, Donald Moe, Allan Ojerholm, Robert Lucas, and William LeClaire represented our class. The sophomore girls continued to be sports enthusiasts, and Emma Chapdel- aine, Geraldine LaBreck, Ruth Boutlier, Blanche Caron, Ada Cowan, Norma Fon- taine, and Elinor Fleming answered Miss Sullivan’s plea for basketball players. Now vacation was once more upon us, and we turned our thoughts toward sum- mer sports. Returning to school as juniors, we felt responsibility fall on our shoulders, for we were now upperclassmen. This, un- fortunately, did not excuse us from obeying the rules and regulations. Our class officers for the year were: Pres- ident, Thomas Hamilton; Vice-President, Fred Carter; Secretary, Betty Johnson; and Treasurer, Mertie Angell. The football team was ardently support- ed by such juniors as George Brady, Thom- as Hamilton, Allan Ojerholm, Donald Moe, Robert Lucas, and Joseph Budreau. Alphonse Lacouture was chosen manager. In October a class meeting was held to appoint a ring committee. Those elected were: Grace Welch, Chairman, Elinor Fleming, Beatrice Gillert, Joseph Budreau, Robert Johnson, Thomas Hamilton, and Alphonse Lacouture. The Girls’ hockey team enjoyed a very successful season. This was in no small SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Tuomas HAMILTON, President Frep CarTER, Vice-President Betty JOHNSON, Secretary MeErTIE ANGELL, Treasurer measure due to the capable playing of Ruth Boutlier, Elinor Fleming, Ruth Moore, Beatrice Gillert, Mertie Angell, Blanche Caron, Emma Chapdelaine, Sylvia Rice, and Norma Fontaine. Grace Welch was chosen manager. Many members of the class held impor- tant offices. Thomas Hamilton and Sylvia Rice occupied positions as Assistant Ed- itors of the Reflectorette: Anne Young, Literary Editor; Emma Chapdelaine, Car- toonist; Class Reporter, Mertie Angell; and Business Manager, George Brady. Betty Johnson and Grace Welch were As- sistant Editors of the Reflector. Officers of the Glee Club were: President, Grace Welch; Vice-President, Emma Chapdel- aine; Secretary, Ruth Boutlier; and Treas- urer, Adrienne Lachapelle. In January, Sylvia Rice, Gloria Hunt, Thomas Hamilton, George Brady, and Grace Welch were members of the cast of “Spring Fever.” They displayed hidden talents by giving excellent performances. Both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were staunchly supported by our class. Robert Lucas, William LeClaire, George Brady, and Thomas Hamilton, manager, were on the boys’ team. Ruth Boutlier, Blanche Caron, Elinor Fleming, Ruth Moore, Norma Fontaine, Gloria Hunt, and Grace Welch as manager upheld the honor of the girls’ team. The latter part of April a meeting was called to elect Junior Prom committees. Aaa es bl The chairman of the various committees were: orchestra, Roland Gibeau; decora- tions, Fred Carter; invitations, Anne Young; tickets, Edward McLaughlin. Thursday, June 7, was the date set for the prom. The decoration committee chose a Mexican scene, which proved to be very attractive. The Prom, which was socially and finan- cially profitable, was our final farewell to the seniors. Although we were saddened at their departure, we were eager to take over the high position vacated by them. We returned to school in September for our last and most eventful year. We were now very dignified and sedate. Our over- confidence was shattered as soon as we discovered that we had to abide by the rules we had obeyed in previous years. The first meeting of the new school year was held in September. Because of their excellent co-operation and leadership, the same officers were unanimously re- elected. They were: Thomas Hamilton, President; Fred Carter, Vice-President; Betty Johnson, Secretary; and Mertie An- gell, Treasurer. Sylvia Rice was now Editor-inChief of the Reflectorette. The Associate Editors were Thomas Hamilton, Ada Cowan, Anne Young, Betty Johnson, Mertie An- gell, and Grace Welch. Other members of the staff were Exchange Editor, Blanche Caron; Athletics, Ruth Moore; Class Re- porter, Edward McLaughlin; Alumni, Beatrice Gillert; Traveling Reporter, Fred Carter; Cartoonist, Emma Chapdelaine; and Business Managers, George Brady and Alphonse Lacouture. Such seniors as Thomas Hamilton, Ed- ward McLaughlin, Allan Ojerholm, Don- ald Boucher, Walter Tebo, George Brady, and Martin McManus played on the foot- ball team. Ruth Boutlier and Ruth Moore were elected Co-Captains of the hockey team. They were aided by the following senior girls: Mertie Angell, Blanche Caron, Mar- garet Donnelly, Elinor Fleming, Emma Chapdelaine, Sylvia Rice, Beatrice Gillert, Shirley Bertrand, and Norma Fontaine. In October a meeting was called for the purpose of electing a picture committee. Those chosen were Fred Carter, chairman, Anne Young, Alphonse Lacouture, Rich- ard Fairbanks, and Grace Welch. They selected the Loring Studio. Betty Johnson was elected the D.A.R. representative on the basis of dependabil- ity, leadership, service, and patriotism. We now turned our thoughts toward ar- rangements for our Senior Prom. The following chairmen were chosen: Roland Gibeau, orchestra committee; Fred Car- ter, decorations committee; Edward Mc- Laughlin, ticket committee. Elections for the AFTERMATH brought the following results: Thomas Hamilton, Editor-in-Chief; Alphonse Lacouture and Grace Welch, Assistant Editors; and Rich- ard Fairbanks, chairman of the advertis- ing committee. T hose chosen to write special features for the AFTERMATH were: Sylvia Rice, Reflectorette; Beatrice Gillert, Glee Club; Betty Johnson, French Club; Alphonse Lacouture, Science Club; Mil- dred Konkol, Biology Club; Allan Ojer- holm, Football; Donald Moe, Basketball; Blanche Caron, Field Hockey; Cheering Squad, Elinor Fleming; Girls’ Basketball, Ruth Boutlier; Baseball, William LeClaire; Class Song, Emma Chapdelaine; Grace Welch, Reflector. The Prom, which was a huge success, was decorated in a schooner scene featur- ing a life-sized schooner complete with the effect of water. This was effectively and artistically decorated, and the members of the decoration committee received much deserved praise. Robert Lucas was chosen captain of the boys’ basketball team. Other seniors on the team were: William LeClaire, Donald Moe, and Kirk Anderson. Byron Angell and Alphonse Lacouture were co-managers. During the latter part of February, the seniors elected the Class Day Speakers. Those chosen were: Prophet, Ruth Moore; Statistician, Fred Carter; Giver of Gifts, Richard Fairbanks; Testator, Mertie An- gell; Omissions and Corrections, Gloria Hunt; Historian, Grace Welch. Elinor Fleming and Eleanor Tolman served on the cheering squad for four years. They contributed much to raising the morale of the team. Horace Mann pupils, under a new sys- tem adopted some time ago by the School Committee, were announced during the year. Seniors in this group included: Ada Cowan, Anne Young, and Grace Welch. The Girls’ Basketball team enjoyed a very successful season featured by the cap- able playing of Captain Ruth Boutlier and the following seniors: Ada Cowan, Norma Fontaine, Elinor Fleming, Blanche Caron, and Emma Chapdelaine. In March Mr. Beaton called a meeting of the Senior Class to announce the names of the pupils who had received an average of eighty-five or better. They were: Blanche Caron, Ada Cowan, Beatrice Gill- ert, Thomas Hamilton, Betty Johnson, Ruth Moore, Sylvia Rice, Grace Welch, and Anne Young. On Thursday, April 25, they presented oral essays before three out-of- town judges. From this group the follow- ing were chosen to speak at the graduation exercises: Beatrice Gillert, Thomas Hamil- ton, Sylvia Rice, and Grace Welch. Mr. Roach called the baseball team to- gether in April; those chosen from the senior class were: Captain Robert Lucas, Alphonse Lacouture, Donald Moe, and William LeClaire. The last few weeks were spent in prep- aration for Class Day and Commencement —events which will be forever a part of our most cherished experiences. Now the time has arrived for us to bid farewell to our teachers and classmates. As the curtain falls on the last act of our high school careers, we shall try to live up to the lessons we have learned and _ strive to achieve the promise which we made in our motto: “Deeds, not words.” Grace WELCH JENTUH CLA Sop o bie Beier eccab etl WE We UVF Parents, Teachers, Classmates, and Friends: We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Six, are gathered here today to commemorate one of the most important events in our lives, our graduation from high school. Throughout our high school careers, we never co uld believe the saying that “our school days are the happiest days of our lives.” Today, however, as we relive our four years spent in Millbury High School, we realize that we shall never again find such friendship and happiness as we have enjoyed here. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to our parents for their unselfishness and devotion to us throughout our school years. With- out their interest and understanding, we might not have completed our education. We also wish to thank our principal and the mem- bers of the faculty for the guidance and encouragement they have given us. Therefore, I, in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty- Six, cordially welcome you to our Class Day Exercises.

But within the music’s splendor A single sad note will mix— “Farewell to Millbury High School From the Class of 46.” Deg ea eiesy: With the atomic bomb question now settled thoroughly and the U.N. O. well organized, it seemed that peace was here to reign forever. I decided that a nice trip through the peaceful land would be pleasant, even though I had to draw half of my savings from the bank to do it. As I had not seen all of the United States in my twenty-five years of existence, | planned to travel from Boston to San Fran- cisco before embarking for South America. My train ride to New York was to last for eight hours, after which I was to travel to Florida by boat. I left Boston on an early train and as I settled back to enjoy the view I heard a timid voice inquiring, “Peanuts, pop- corn, magazines?” This voice did sound familiar and as I turned, who should it be but George Brady. George and I chatted a while but he had to leave in ten minutes to renew his selling efforts. I began to think that Millbury High School graduates owned the railroad when down the aisle walked Tom Hamilton and Johnny Gauvin, who were widely known as the “singing conductors.” They liked their work, and as they went on down the aisle singing “The Chattanooga Choo Choo,” I thought th at their singing had improved slightly since high school days. The train on which I was riding ran out of coal and we were forced to stop at a small town named Youngstown for emer- gency refueling. This town, I later learn- ed, was named after their mayor, Anne Young, who had found her career in pol- itics and was proving very successful at it. The coal truck came with a load of coal and you can imagine my surprise when the driver turned out to be my former classmate, Kirk Anderson. To catch his attention, | opened the window and leaned out. When I finally caught his eye, the train began to move causing me to lose my balance. I surely would have fallen if two strong arms hadn’t pulled me back. I turned to thank my rescuer and saw that he was Roger Morin. Roger was now a movie producer in Hollywood, and he was then on his way to New York whence he was to fly to California. After meeting all of these ex-classmates, I decided to write their names down to keep a record of all I had met. My pencil broke, however, and so I went in to the dining car of the train to see if I could borrow a knife with which to sharpen it. I entered the car, but seeing no one there, I decided to go into the kitchen to ask the chef for a knife. The chef was putting the finishing touches on a beautiful cake paiesUbsteh labels (CM that must have measured all of three feet, and you can imagine my surprise when he turned around and I saw who he was. It was Donald Boucher, a former classmate and football star at Millbury High School. After chatting a while about old days at high school, he sharpened my pencil and I returned to my seat to add his name to my list. The train went faster and faster until finally it came to a halt in New York City, I stepped off the train and since I had a whole day and a half to wait for my boat to Florida, I decided to find a hotel at which I could leave my luggage while I went sightseeing. The information desk in the railroad station was nearby, so I strolled up to it and waited for the clerk to finish with one inquirer before asking her my questions. I stood patiently for ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty min- utes, until finally my patience left me. I thought, “That clerk can really talk.” I called to her, timidly at first, then with such volume I’m sure everyone in the station must have heard me. Slowly she turned her head, and you can imagine my embarrassment when the clerk turned out to be Sylvia Rice. Well, I knew she was an able speaker but I never supposed that I would find her at this sort of occupation. After three hours reminiscing, I left to find the hotel that she recommended. The taxi I hired reminded me of the old Millbury school bus, in that they both rattled; both had a few cracked windows: and both proved most uncomfortable. I had my fingers crossed that we would sur- vive this dash through the heavy New York traffic, but evidently crossed fingers weren't enough. In the middle of Times Square the antiquated automobile gasped its last gasp and refused to move. Cars were packed tightly around us and the square was turned into a bedlam of honk- ing horns and accusatory remarks from irate motorists. A tall policeman made his way through the throng and in a loud voice demanded to know what was the matter. The loud voice—I knew I had heard it somewhere, and so I had, for it belonged to Calvin Hoyle. It’s a good thing I knew him or I’m sure I would have spent the next thirty days in a New York jail. He guided us through traffic with his motoreycle siren going steadily. I was riding, incidentally, in the wrecker that pulled the faithful old cab to its happy hunting grounds—the garage. I hadn’t even looked at the driver of the wrecker because I was so mortified I just looked down at my feet. When I did steal CSAS ato a glance, I almost screamed for joy, for it was Martin McManus, another Millbury High School graduate. In such capable hands I felt relaxed and we had a pleasant chat of old times. When we reached the garage, he called to his partner, Bill Fall- strom, who came out of his luxurious office to greet us. The cab driver, in the mean- time, was very puzzled. He didn’t seem to understand how so many people could know so many other people. I left the McManus-Fallstrom garage and finally reached the hotel where I was to stay. I walked in, strode up to the desk, and rank the bell. The owner came to check me in, and I was amazed to see that it was Fred Carter. The hotel was beauti- ful and I learned that Fred had designed every detail himself. Leaving my luggage in my room, I went to the dining room to eat my dinner. It was only 6:00 p.m. and I had just start- ed to eat when the head waiter made an announcement. It seemed there was go- ing to be an entertainment of some sort and so I settled back in my chair to watch. First of all came a blast of trumpets and out on the stage marched that great magician, Al Lacouture, aided by Virginia Tubbs. I remembered our high school days when Al used to have a knack of making homework disappear, and Vir- ginia used to be very good at helping people. Their act, consequently, was very clever and well received by the audience. As soon as these two left the stage, three girls known as “Town Trio” walked on the platform. Two of them I recognized as Norma Fontaine and Shirley Bertrand, but the third one I did not know. After their act, I went to their dressing room to see them and suddenly I saw who the third one was. It was Marie Anne Gaulin, and the reason I[ didn’t recognize her was that she had grown so tall. We were in the middle of our conver- sation when a scream was heard. This scream was followed by a dog’s bark and people shouting. The noise came from the elevator shaft where a car was stuck between floors. The fire truck was called and everything was in confusion when the firemen walked into the room. The fire chief turned out to be Roland Gibeau, who went right to work directing the men. When the elevator finally came to the floor, out walked two thoroughly indignant people. First came Lady Beatrice (Gillert) Pomfrett followed by Sir Alfred Gasco. These two, it seems, had both married members of British nobility—hence the titles. After talking with them a while, I Ps lai lO pels Vea dt 15 ey noticed that they had both acquired a definite British accent. We had a great time talking—the stage performers, the fire chief, the nobility, and I. After leaving them, I went to my room to catch some sleep before leaving the next day on the boat for Florida. I would have gotten some sleep, too, if it hadn’t been for the terrific racket in the apart- ment across the hall. As the night wore on, the noise got louder until finally at 2:00 a.m. I could stand it no longer. I went next door, and loudly knocked. Some- one opened the door and we stood there blinking at each other, for it was my old school chum, Mertie Angell. I asked her what all the noise was about, and she told me that it was a party in honor of Edward McLaughlin, who had just discovered how to put the atom back together again. In addition to her regular teaching duties at Millbury High School, Mertie had found time to act as Eddie’s assistant. It wasn’t long before I had joined in the merriment and I thought, as I returned to my room, “I didn’t feel like sleeping anyway.” My list of encounters with former school- mates was growing rapidly, and I had plenty to think about when I prepared to go on board ship the next morning—or should I say that same morning. The boat was to sail at 8:00 a.m. and at 7:59 a.m. I arrived at the dock. Breathlessly, I climb- ed up the gangplank to stand panting by the rail. The whistle tooted and the gang- plank was just being lifted when a group of shouting women came running toward the boat. The last screaming woman got on and the boat began to move. Suddenly, around the corner sped two more women, probably part of the party that had just climbed on board. The boat was about six inches from the pier when they jump- ed, in an effort to land on deck. One of them made it but the other missed and landed with a great big splash in the ocean. The one on board was yelling, “Gloria, Gloria, hurry up; we’re leaving— help—man overboard!” I looked at the one by my side and found her to be Betty Braman. The one floundering in the ocean was, to be sure, Gloria Hunt. Gloria was rescued by the ship’s crew, and when she was in a talking mood we held an interesting conversation. Betty and Gloria, it seems, were part of an ex- pedition of women who were on their way to the swamps of Florida seeking butter- flies for a collection that they were about to exhibit at the Millbury Art Museum. Included in this butterfly group were Marjorie Anderson and Dorothy Larson. Papal igre) oo Dot, it seems, really was going after some big butterflies, for she carried a shot gun. She told me, though, that she had heard of some big snakes in the Florida swamps and she was taking no chances. Margie, however, only carried a bowie knife. This group got off on the northern coast of Florida but I remained on the boat to the southern tip of the state. I landed at a small Florida town, and as I was walking up the pier I tripped over some- one’s fish poles lying in the way. I fell on a fresh catch of fish that was piled near the poles, and I was ready to scream when I saw who owned all this regalia. I looked up from my odious position and saw Allan Ojerholm, Walter Tebo, and Richard Jor- dan, who were known in that region as expert fishermen. Since the fish did not furnish a pleasant landing place, I welcomed my arrival at a spacious hotel near the ocean. It was only 8:00 in the evening when I entered the lobby of the hotel for a period of relax- ation. I had no sooner settled down when a crash resounded throughout the hotel. Some poor man couldn’t pay his bill in the dining room, and, after an exchange of words with the waiter, he was knocked unconscious by a chair. Panic reigned un- til an ambulance screamed to a halt out- side the hotel. In dashed a young doctor whom I recognized as Byron Angell. He quickly revived the financially embarrassed man and sent him on his way. Byron couldn’t talk long as he was in a hurry. Bob Johnson and Robert Young, two fam- ous speed drivers appearing at the Florida Arena, had just had a slight accident and Byron had to go to their aid. He had, however, the help of two capable nurses, Ruth Boutilier and Blanche Caron, so the job wasn’t too difficult. The next day my stay in Florida came to an end, and I boarded the train for San Francisco. The train on which I was riding was not a through one and _ it seemed to stop at every conceivable town along the way, regardless of size. We stopped at one town called Yoonamit, Texas, where it appeared some man was trying to get off. I heard him yelling, “Let me off. I’m supposed to meet some- one here.” The train was going to stop anyhow for a few minutes, and I thought I would like to see just whom he was go- ing to meet. The man got off and was immediately surrounded by girls. I had to take a second look, for those girls seem- ed very familiar. Sure enough, there was Emma Chapdelaine, Barbara Mains, Florence Sharp, and Beverly Baldwin. Pe H UES Ties tes tas They looked different in their cowboy suits, and when they turned their backs to me, I saw the reason why they wore those outfits. On their backs in large letters was spelled, “Millbury Dude Ranch” with their four names listed as proprietors. At least, they hadn’t for- gotten the good old town of Millbury, even when they were far away in Texas. The train didn’t stop long enough for me to talk with them and we were soon on our way again. Before long the train stopped in another town, so small that I can’t even remember the name. The weather was rather warm, as Texas weather is, and so this stop was going to be long enough for the passengers to step off the train to visit a small soda fountain nearby for a soft drink. I decided a coke would taste very good and so I went to this soda spa. I no sooner got inside when two females dashed out from behind the counter. Yes, it was Mildred Konkol and Betty May, partners in the soda fountain. The name of their spa was “Doncreap’s” after those famous Millbury fountains, Donovan’s and Crepeau’s. The train moved on, with its frequent stops, until it finally pulled into San Francisco. I got off the train, found a good hotel, and sat down to rest. Sud- denly, I started, “Where did I leave my pocketbook?” I decided that I must have dropped it on the way to the hotel, so I dashed off to the police station to ask for their assistance in looking for it. I ran hurriedly up to the desk of the first sergeant and almost forgot what I came for when I saw who it was . I had never seen a woman police officer before— particularly one who turned out to be Patricia Lindsey, my former classmate. When I finally told her the trouble I was in, she summoned some of her men and put them right on the job. The she sug- gested advertising my loss in the news- paper. So off we went to the largest newspaper in San Francisco, the San Francisco Scoop. The word “scoop” had a familiar ring, and well it should have, for the editor turned out to be Grace Welch. We were having a great time when in dashed an excited reporter with a hot tip. He was none other than Vernon Brown, ace reporter. Well, when the time came for me to leave, I reminded her of the advertisement regarding my lost purse. She called in her chief ad man, Dick Fairbanks, who immediately went to work. I returned to my _ hotel that evening, feeling sure that my lost article would be returned, and so it was, the very next day. Gredliotaven) 5 My boat for South America was delayed for a whole week, so I decided to make a tour of California. I hired a car and started my tour by investigating some orange groves just outside San Francisco. Pm not too good a driver and so the inevitable happened—I ran into a large orange tree. The owners came dashing out to see what had happened and, even though I was dazed, I was glad to see who they were. Celina Perry led the group, followed by Rosalind Richard, Eleanor Tolman, and Geraldine LaBreck. My luck seemed to be good, for they failed to charge me for the mutilated tree. The car, however, was badly dam- aged; and, as | knew no one in the con- cern from which I had rented it, I was forced into a court in San Francisco. I chose for my attorneys the firm of Kotel, Mooney, and Moss. These names sounded familiar but whoever heard of women lawyers! Nevertheless, that’s just what they were—Genevieve Kotel, Elizabeth Mooney, and June Moss. The opposing attorney, I learned, was that great lawyer, Donald Moe. How could I lose, surround- ed by all those former classmates; and, believe it or not, I was acquitted of all charges. After that trying experience in court, I decided to have a rest. My sailing date was still three days away so I had plenty of time to go to the beach for a couple cf days. This time I went by bus. The hotel I stayed at was right on the ocean- side and so I went for a swim. I had al- ways been a good swimmer but I guess i overestimated my ability. Quite a dis. tance from shore | began to sink. To my rescue came several people, among whom UMISSIUNS AN While traveling on an important re- search expedition through the wildest, darkest jungle of Africa, I found myself deserted by my safari and _ helplessly alone without food, water, or adequate shelter. Sitting dejectedly on a large rock and longing for the comforts of home, I was suddenly startled by a rustling of the leaves in the large vine-covered tree under which I was sitting. Frightened by the thought that some lurking wild beast was preparing to spring on my back, | quickly jumped to my feet in time to see a lithe, leopard-clad body swing dizzily from a long vine and land on the ground directly Per Ue alte I saw Elinor Fleming, a store executive there for a rest; Margaret Donnelly, a beauty consultant there on business; and Robert Lucas, the lifeguard of the beach. After the commotion had died down, I went into a restaurant to eat my lunch. Sitting next to me, a person said, “But, Betty, if you did that, John would have too many wives.” I turned to look and saw Betty Johnson arguing with a man. He turned out to be William LeClaire, script writer for Betty on her new radio program. After chatting with Betty, I found that another schoolmate of mine, Ada Cowan, had gone into radio. She was the sound-effects woman on Station KORN. I talked to them for awhile and as I rose to leave I accidently knocked over a bowl of soup, spilling the contents all over the lady next to me. I heard her scream; and, when I turned to look, there sat Shirley Fitton. Luckily for me, she wasn’t too angry. At my suggestion, we went next door to a hardware store to get some spot remover for her suit. The sign over the door said, “Fjellman Hardware Store, Doris Fjellman, Proprietor.” We went inside but instead of seeing Doris who was away on business, we met Bernice Crockett and Loretta LeClaire. These last two were junior partners in Doris’ store, which seemed to be a very profitable business. The time arrived for me to leave on the boat for South America. I got as far as the dock but I never did board the ship. After meeting all of my former cla ssmates, South America seemed to have lost all of its former attractiveness, so my tour be- gan and ended in the United States. RutH Moore Pivie SLla Na in front of me. Upon looking closer, I recognized the person to be the famous Queen of the Jungle, Tabu. Imagine my extreme surprise and pleasure when the queen turned out to be my old friend and former classmate of Millbury High, Ruth Moore.

Is it not interesting to note that the importance and the authority of the newspaper were recognized in the early days of our country just as they are today? The daily paper has always played an influential part in the American way of life, but certainly not so important a part as it does at this very moment. The press can either maintain or destroy our dearly won peace. During this past war, the American newspapers took their responsibilities seriously, and played an extremely difficult role admirably and _ cooper- atively, At the beginning of the war, newspaper editors from every part of the United States met in Washington and agreed upon a self-imposed censorship. This decision was made to keep the public informed of all developments, but at the same time, to ensure the secrecy of any vital war information. That the American press did _ its utmost to further the war effort is undeniable. But now the American newspaper faces a new challenge. The war has been won. The boys are returning. And all America is attempting to find solutions to the thousands of problems fur- nished by the cessation of hostilities. Since the newspaper is such a powerful institution, it is to be concluded that the press will have untold influence in shaping America’s future. There are two ways in which this can be done. Either the daily paper can uphold the aims and purposes for which it was established, and be a veritable help to the nation which fostered it; or the press can become destructive and contribute to the adversity of this country. Let us examine these possibilities. The mor- tality rate in this country due to crimes has in- creased tremendously during the past year. If the press dramatizes these crime stories, they will have a certain morbid fascination and appeal for some individuals, and this deplorable condition will continue. Therefore, the newspaper must do everything in its power to sway public opinion away from crime, and help to apprehend criminals and expose frauds. Secondly, the American paper must remain a free and independent publication instead of a political tool, and must continue to be a true voice of the people. Because it is a representative of both the capitalist and the laborer, the newspaper should give a clear picture of both sides of any dispute, thus contributing to a better understand- ing between the two factions, and a_ speedier solution of their problems. Our newspapers are doing a commendable piece of work to alleviate the current housing shortage. It is largely through the efforts of publie-spirited newspapermen that many veterans have _ been provided with a place to live; and that a great number of people, urged by pleas in their daily papers, have opened their doors to the homeless. Thus the newspaper has shown exactly what it can and will do during a critical situation, both in war and in peace. The press has seen its duty, and proved that it is ready to step forward with, not against, the American people. Sytvi1A RICE A CALL TO POETRY We, in this era of high-tension living, neglect to indulge in one of the most enjoyable pastimes that exists—the reading and interpretation of poetry. In addition to the fact that poetry is the earliest form of literary expression, and can be en- joyed simply as an impressive language of deep and sensitive understanding, there are several personal reasons why we should read _ verse. Among these are: for comfort, for inspiration, for pure aesthetic appeal, for joy and pleasure, for self-improvement. Concerning the solace poetics give, Gordon Bottomley says, “Poetry is founded in the hearts of men.” Thus, in some poems we discover that other people confront the same misfortunes that we do, and we often find a solution for our prob- lems. If we feel particularly indolent, an inspirational poem may well supply us with energy and con- structive thoughts. Perhaps an idea which has been lurking in the back of our minds may be brought to the front in such a manner. To supplement a stroll in the woods, when we feel an especially close bond between ourselves and the glory of nature, a poem with aesthetic appeal is in order. Matthew Arnold felt this when he stated, “Poetry is simply the most beautiful impressive and widely effective mode of saying things and hence its importance.” Concerning the sheer joy to be derived from reading certain poems, Emily Dickinson in a de- lightful comparison writes: There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry. In this sense, some poetry might even be re- garded as escape literature. Of course, it is obvious that we may advance our understanding of almost any subject by read- ing poetry. Wordsworth argues that “Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge.” Here are a few lines chosen from poems which illustrate the reasons why, in this age of science and fact, we would gain much satisfaction from verse. What could be more consoling to the depressed frame of mind than the immortal line from Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind”? It reads: Oh Wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? A lesson in self-improvement, as well as inspira- tion may be obtained from the opening stanza of Josiah Gilbert Holland’s “Gradatim”: Heaven is not gained at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. A poem which is typically joyous is the well known L’Allegro, by Milton. We cannot help feeling light-hearted and gay as we read: Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful Jollity ... For aesthetic appeal, “The Rhodora,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, is an excellent choice. The color- ful adjectives, the vowel sounds, and the rhythm combine to give us a_never-to-be-forgotten por- trait of a flower: In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes, I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods, Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook, To please the desert and the sluggish brook. The purple petals, fallen in the pool, Made the black water with their beauty gay; Here mighi the redbird come his plumes to cool, And court the flower that cheapens his array. Thus, when we tire of the endless discussions of war crises, atomic energy, or reconversion, and wish a quiet and peaceful hour with just our- selves, there is no better place to turn than to a book of verse. As Charles Eliot Norton once said, “Whatever your occupation may be and however crowded your hours with affairs, do not fail to secure at least a few minutes every day for refreshment of your inner life with a bit of poetry.” It is a thought to be considered. BEATRICE GILLERT JULIETTE LOW, FOUNDER OF THE GIRL SCOUTS IN AMERICA The Girl Scout organization in America, the chief aim of which is “to help each girl to dis- cover and develop the rich possibilities which lie within her and in the world around her,” was launched by Juliette Low in 1921. Juliette Gordon, born in Savannah, Georgia, on October 31, 1860, was the daughter of Captain and Mrs. William W. Gordon, and “was a woman of broad culture and wide interests. She won her causes by her vitality, her disarming sense of humor, and her infallible charm.” After marrying William Low in 1886, Juliette went abroad to live. There, she had three houses— Wellesbourne in Warwickshire, a “shoating” in Scotland, and a London house, No. 40 Grosvenor Street. Her life was carefree but not frivolous. These carefree days came to an end, however, when Mr. Low’s health failed—a cause of deep sorrow for “Daisy,” as Juliette was commonly called. After Mr. Low’s death, “Daisy” became interested in Girl Guiding, through the encouragement of her friend, Lord Baden-Powell. By giving herself to a work in which she believed, she found happiness again, and when she lost her father and mother, she had this work to sustain her. In 1912, Juliette sailed for the United States to bring Girl Scouting to “the girls” in America. She had returned to the United States several times since her marriage, but a new and mo- mentous eagerness filled her on this trip. She had a great gift for America, and she could not wait to bestow it. The gift was still an idea, and at that moment, it existed only in her own high- powered imagination. Juliette, having left England with nothing but a Girl Guiding handbook and her own determination, descended on an unsus- pecting country, began to move its mountains— of indifference and preoccupation—and finally sue- ceeded in making the Girl Scouts a growing con- cern. Juliette’s tactics in founding the movement were most ingenious. She appointed her friends to positions without their knowledge, and was always deaf to their refusals saying, “Here are the girls. You will start at once.” Refusing her was in vain. Every year she traveled back to England, studied the methods of the English Guides, consulted with Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, and then suddenly she returned only to organize more troops in the United States. Money-raising is the nightmare that haunts most of the organizers of this world, but Mrs. Low saved herself this unpleasantness. She financed the entire undertaking herself until 1916. By 1916, she realized she was incapab le of carrying on this responsible position alone. A_ less wise, less magnanimous woman might have been unwilling to share her cherished burden, but not Mrs. Low. She realized that sharing was the logical procedure, and with enthusiasm, characteristic only of her, she set out to create a national board, Mrs. Low then went to England, and when she returned in the fall of 1917, she found her great dream taking definite form. The Girl Scouts were now a full-fledged nationwide institution. “Daisy” lived ten years after the stabilization of the Scouts. Although she passed the presidency on to other hands, she took her place on the international council, for Scouting had now spread all over the world. In 1925, Juliette decided that the following May we should have the first world camp in the United States at Camp Edith Macey in New York. The executive committee was speechless. “Edith Macey” was no more than hillsides and blueprints. “Daisy,” however, pleaded with them and said, “If we don’t have it next year, I won’t be here.” No one could have been paid a greater tribute than was Juliette, when the committee voted to do the im- possible. One would never dream that she was desperately ill during the world camp, which was her supreme moment, for she fought off her pain bravely. Early in January, 1927, “Daisy” returned from England for the last time. She knew she was dying, but she wasn’t afraid of death. When the national board sent her the following telegram: “You are not only the first Girl Scout, but the best Girl Scout of them all,” she asked to have it buried with her. Needless to say, she was buried in her scout uniform with Girl Scouts acting as guard of honor. “With devotion, energy, and unflagging interest she blazed for the girls of America, a trail of service and comradeship.” Grace WELCH THE HOPES AND FEARS OF THE ATOMIC AGE The discovery by American scientists of methods of harnessing atomic energy has brought mixed emotions to the people of the world, has filled them with hopes and fears. The atomic age was dramatically ushered in last August, when American airmen dropped their atom bombs on two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An awed, incredulous world held its breath—fear stole into its heart. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima destroyed everything within a radius of one mile. Now scientists are talking about “improving” this weapon. Perhaps, some- day, they will be able to destroy whole nations with one bomb. What is to become of the world? But while the atomic bomb is synonymous with death and destruction; atomic power, on the other hand, may be the force to stimulate industrial growth, may be the means to provide the world with an abundant life. Never before in the history of science has the world been given an instrument, which, depending on its use, has so much power of good and evil. Consequently, the discussion of the atomic bomb and atomic power is the most important issue facing the American people today. For the issue is that of survival, to which all other subjects are secondary. If we do not survive, there is no need discussing what we are going to do with our lives. The world is alive with hopes and fears because the proved destructiveness of the atomic bomb makes it immediately necessary for men to find a way to avoid war. Permanent peace is the hope of men everywhere; and if it is to be realized, world government seems inevitable. To understand the urgency of a world govern- ment and permanent peace, it is necessary first to examine what war in the atomic age will mean. Because of the enormous advantage of surprise, Pearl Harbor tactics will be employed. Without warning, a country will send jet planes with atom bombs to destroy the enemy’s cities. Then, if the nation under attack wishes to fight back, it will retalitate by launching rockets and planes from hidden installations to bring the message of death to the aggressors. The fighting will continue until one country surrenders or is unable to resist its opponent’s army of occupation. But there will be no real victor; both nations will lose hundreds of cities and millions of lives. This is a high price to pay for the pleasures of aggression. Is there, then, no hope for civilization? Are we destined to see the world blow up in our faces? Is there anything we can do about this? Pro- fessor H. D. Smith, head of the Physics Depart- ment in Princeton University, has truly said that the development of atomic energy “raised many questions that must be answered in the near future. These questions are not technical questions; they are political and social questions, and the answers given to them may affect all mankind for gener- ations.” While the world hopes that atomic energy will do great things in industry and transportation in the future, the major consequence of atomic power is that its very existence places civilization in im- mediate danger. Its development is merely the most recent important step of that steady pro- gression of science that is compelling man to be- come human, compelling him to select wise leaders, and compelling those leaders to seek the mutual protection of the world and to organize against mass destruction. If this happens, then the atomic bomb that was born in devastation, will live to prove that it is the greatest incentive for a peaceful world. Tuomas HAMILTON _Aberma th We, the members of the AFTERMATH staff, realizing that we are rapidly approaching the end of four, happy, memorable years as students of Millbury High School, have endeavored to present a yearbook that will serve as a pictorial and literary review of our cherished high school days. We have devoted much time and thought to the planning and publishing of this edition of the AFTERMATH. Naturally, it is our sincere wish that our book will be a success. Every moment spent in preparing our yearbook for publication has been one of real enjoyment for us; we earnestly hope that you will gain as much pleasure in reading the 1946 AFTERMATH as we have had in writing it. Our success rests upon your judgment. REFLECTOR The sophomore and junior classes were in complete charge of the Reflector this year. Those chosen to pub- lish the paper were as follows: Editor, John Hayes; As- sistant Editors, Mary Credit and Robert Goff; Feature Editors, Maxine Reade and Genevieve Rice; Business Managers, Roland Dunn and Charles Crane; Book Re- views, Gloria Goulet and Beverly Dulmaine; Alumni, Dorothy Purdie and Richard Hagstrom; News About School, Barbara Reed, Roberta Webber, Alice Dumont, and Howard Greene; Sports Editors, Rosemary Norton, Robert LeClaire, George Cormier, and Gabriel Gaulin; French Corner, Rita Dupuis. We, the Class of 1946, wish to congratulate these two classes for their efforts to make the Reflector such a success. We also express our thanks to Miss Margaret Marlborough who directed and guided the members of the staff. Grace WELCH REFLECTORETTE The Reflectorette has completed its seventh year as the “official voice” of Millbury High School, and has con- tinued to grow. The introduction of pictures into our news sheet was probably the most distinctive feature of the year. Each issue contained at least one photograph of a distinguished MHS celebrity as a youngster. Many other successful columns hav e been produced to the amuse- ment and interest of the student body. The class of 1946 was well represented on the Re- flectorette staff. Sylvia Rice was Editor-in-Chief, and Grace Welch, Betty Johnson, Anne Young, Thomas Ham- ilton, Ada Cowan, and Mertie Angell served as Associate Editors. Ruth Moore was a sports writer, and Fred Carter instituted a Traveling Reporter column. Busi- ness Managers were George Brady and Alphonse La- couture, and Edward McLaughlin wrote class news. Beatrice Gillert served on the Alumni Staff; Blanche Caron was Exchange Editor; and Emma Chapdelaine was on the cartooning staff. The success of our paper is due in a large part to the co-operation and friendly interest of Miss Burns and Miss Walsh, faculty advisors. SyLviA RIcE FRENCH CLUB After not having a French Club for a few years, some of the students in the French classes, with the assistance of Miss Brown, have once again organized a group which they have named “Le Cercle Francais.” The members have found constructive entertainment presenting short plays and reading stories in French. They have also done a little research in the history of France and in the similarities of some French and English words. All meetings of the club are held during the special activities period on Monday. Because the Science Club holds its meetings at the same time, none of the seniors were able to join “Le Cercle Francais” much as many of them would have liked to. They do, however, wish the club every success in the future. Betty ELLEN JOHNSON GLEE CLUB We, the Class of 1946, wish to express to Miss Katherine Bowe our sincere gratitude for her personal interest in our musical experiences during our four years in Mill- bury High School. We will never forget our Tuesdays, third period, spent with a patient, talented, and thor- oughly charming teacher. We know that this year’s chorus will reward her efforts by a perfect rendition of the songs chosen for commencement night. The selections are: “Nightfall in Granada,” “The Farmer,” and “The Lost Chord.” In future years, one of our most pleasant memories will be of moments spent with Miss Bowe. BEATRICE GILLERT SCIENCE CLUB The newly formed Science Club, under the guidance of Mr. McGinn, had a very successful year, At the first meeting the members elected the following officers: President, Al Lacouture; Vice-President, Jackie Hayes; Secretary-Treasurer, Blanche Caron. During the year interesting experiments and topics on the velocity of a bullet, electromagnetic waves, defraction grating, the microscope, acids and bases, and meteorology were presented by various members. At special meetings the following movies were shown to the members: Freedom Rides on Rubber, Electronics at Work, Willow Run, and Better Vision. All these things combined aided in fulfilling the Sci- ence Club’s chief aim, assisting its members in learning science. We, the seniors in the Science Club, wish to express our thanks to Mr. McGinn for his co-operation and in- terest. We also wish the Science Club success in future years. At LAcOUTURE BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club has completed another successful year under the supervision of Mr. Kenary. The group has held meetings twice a month. At the first meeting they elected the following officers: Presi- dent, Charles Crane; Vice-President, Ruth Lee; Secretary, Barbara Collette; and Treasurer, Reese Rickards. The club has a total membership of thirty-three pupils. The work has consisted of the dissecting of a foetal pig and taking blood types. The club also purchased a blood typing set. In the spring the club planned nature walks to obtain specimens of the lower forms of animal life to be used for experiments. The members of the Biology Club extend their thanks to Mr. Kenary for his cooperation and interest in the club. May we extend our best wishes to the Biology Club for its continued success in future years, Mivprep KoNnKOL HORACE MANN SOCIETY Class of °46 Ada Cowan Grace Welch Anne Young Class of °47 Leone Budreau Gloria Goulet John Hayes Joan Shea Marjorie Taylor Library Staff JENTOR HONOR STUDENTS Blanche Caron Ada Cowan Beatrice Gillert Thomas Hamilton Betty Johnson Ruth Moore Sylvia Rice Grace Welch Anne Young Cheering oquad The cheerleaders, under the competent leadership of Miss Margaret Marlborough, have completed another successful season. During the year, the cheerleaders met with Miss Marlborough once a week and originated many new cheers. Members of the cheering squad are as follows: Bette Fleming, Roberta Webber, Audrey Conley, Helen Latraverse, Carolyn Kilmer, and Elinor Fleming. Miss Marlborough has devoted much time and work to the development of the cheering squad and we, the cheerleaders, wish to express our gratefulness to her for her patience and co-operation in making it possible for the cheerleaders to enjoy a successful season. ELINOR FLEMING Foothall The 1945 football team was a credit to Millbury High School even though it did not win a single game. The team did, however, succeed in tying Auburn and South- bridge High Schools. The most notable achievement of the season was tying Southbridge, undefeated in six straight games before meeting the Millbury eleven. The team was made up entirely of inexperienced players. Bill Berthiaume and Bill Jensen had seen action in the previous season, but they were both in- jured early in the year, and they couldn’t play for the rest of the year. Captain Thomas Hamilton, Edward McLaughlin, George Brady, Walter Tebo, Donald Boucher, Martin McManus and Allan Ojerholm represented the senior class on the gridiron. We wish to thank Mr. Roach for the enjoyable times we had while he instructed us, and we sincerely hope that he and the future teams will enjoy very successful seasons. ALLAN OJERHOLM BASEBALL When Coach Martin Roach issued his call for baseball candidates, he was greeted by a number of promising underclassmen along with the follow- ing seniors: Donald Moe, Robert Lucas, Alphonse Lacouture, and William LeClaire, At this time it is impossible to make any pre- dictions concerning the coming season. Although veteran material is definitely lacking, many of the candidates have demonstrated enthusiasm along with plenty of baseball ability. The schedule for the season is as follows: April 23, Northbridge High; May 1, Assumption High; May 3, Auburn High; May 7, Shrewsbury High; May 10, Uxbridge High; May 14, Leicester High; May 17, Grafton High; May 21, Auburn High; May 24, Shrewsbury High; May 28, Uxbridge High; May 31, Northbridge High; and June 4, Grafton High. Blackstone Valley League Games. We, the members of the graduating class, ex- tend our best wishes to Coach Roach for the com- ing baseball season, and we sincerely hope that he will enjoy success with future M.H.S. athletic teams. WitrrAM LEC AIRE BASKETBALL As you all know, this year’s team was not of the winning variety. However, credit should go to Coach Martin Roach and to the, players for continually trying to win. Despite our non-winning team, we had enthusiastic sup- port from the students and townspeople. We wish to thank all of you who supported us, and we hope that you uphold the future teams as faithfully. Members of this year’s team who are graduating in- clude the following: Captain Robert Lucas, William Le- Claire, Kirk Anderson, Donald Moe, and Byron Angell, who served as manager. We wish Coach Martin Roach and Millbury High School success in future years. Donato Moe FILE L YD fo hia The field hockey team, under the competent coaching of Miss Sullivan, enjoyed a successful season winning six out of eight games scheduled. The girls representing the senior class were: Co-Captains Ruth Moore and Ruth Boutilier, Emma Chapdelaine, Geraldine Labreck, Beatrice Gillert, Mertie Angell, Elinor Fleming, Norma Fontaine, Shirley Bertrand, Sylvia Rice, and Blanche Caron. Although the team did not win every game, the players derived great ex- perience and enjoyment from their efforts; they always played each game with the proverbial high school spirit. Members of the senior class take this opportunity to thank Miss Sullivan for her perseverance in coaching the team and wish her success in future seasons, BLANCHE CARON In November Miss Sullivan sounded the call for basketball candidates. Thirty-five girls reported. After eliminating fifteen, there remained only twenty on the squad. The senior class was well represented by the following: Blanche Caron, Emma Chapdelaine, Ada Cowan, Elinor Fleming, Norma Fontaine, assistant manager Sylvia Rice, and Captain Ruth Boutilier. We had a very successful season this year. Ten games were scheduled for the season. We won four, tied two, and lost four. We enjoyed playing each game and had an excellent team. Seeing that the first team was composed mostly of seniors, Coach Sullivan will have many openings for next year’s team. It will probably be built around Margaret Norton and Marjorie Taylor, two juniors who saw plenty of action this year. As we leave, we wish Miss Sullivan success with future girls’ basketball teams. We also want to thank her for her patience and hard-work with the team this year.
