The fact that the world was more concerned with the news that Allied troops had finally landed on the European conti- nent at Salerno and that the Italians had surrendered unconditionally, did not in any way overshadow our thrill at entering high school. On that bright morning four years ago, one hundred and eighteen of us strag- gled from Bramanville, West Millbury, East Millbury, the Center, and points in between. We came, for the most part, in small groups, for there seemed to be safety in numbers. We, the Class of 1947, had arrived. Our own problems were not so momen- tous as those of Eisenhower or McArthur, but to us they were revolutionary. We couldn’t find the right rooms; the high school Class istoryw . SENIOR CI GroRGE GALLACHER, President SHIRLEY Dunn, Vice-president stairway system was confusing; we weren’t sure of the bells; but such details did not dampen our spirits. We were so eager to learn and so anxious to become a part of high school life that in a few weeks we were old veterans and had settled down to our new world of High School. The election of Freshmen Class officers and cheer leaders was to us as the presiden- tial elections are to the nation. We did an unusual thing at this first meeting by elect- MGlass of (4 y OFFICERS ABELLE HIL1, Secretary OBERT LECLAIRE, Treasurer ing a girl, Evelyn Bergstrom, as president. Seldom had a girl been a class president, but after all, we saw no reason to be too conven- tional. The other officers were Vice-presi- dent, Jack Hayes; Secretary, George Galla- cher; and Treasurer, Bob Kruger. Dot Lambert and Pat McGrath were our rep- resentatives on the cheering squad. Nine of our girls joined the Hockey Squad and one, Peg Norton, actually made the first team. Eight boys went out for football, forty-five of us joined the Dramatic Club, and twenty-one girls became members of the Glee Club. our representative on the Keflectorette and Jack Hayes on the Reflector. Peg Norton and Dot Lambert were the only Freshmen accepted for places on the girls’ basketball team. We honored the boys’ basketball team by lending George Gallacher, Paul Aubin, and Billy Murphy. We were proving that we intended from the start to take an active part in school affairs. Evelyn Bergstrom was “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so the saying goes and thus on a cold December night, the Dramatic Club held its skating party and Freshmen initiation. Who will ever forget Ray Lavallee’s efforts to talk Mr. Beaton into a vacation or George Gallacher’s proposal to Miss Grogan? Around January 31, the Freshmen started pulling hair, biting finger nails, and mum- bling ‘‘is, ea, id” in undertones. The reason? We were experiencing our first before mid- years jitters. But with all our mumbling and grumbling, we all survived the test of wits and life went on as smoothly as before. Although not one of our class proved to be a second Ted Williams by making the baseball nine, we supported the team that spring, by giving George Gallacher as As- sistant Manager, and by buying and selling season tickets to the games. In the years to come the history books will give undisputed place to the date ‘June 6, 1944.”” That was ‘“‘D Day,” when thousands of Allied troops began the long- awaited invasion of German-occupied France. Our thoughts were, of course, with the Mill- bury boys who were taking part in that in- vasion by land, sea and air; but our summer vacation seemed at the moment, of almost equal importance. Summer jobs, trips, and just plain fun were on the calendar for most of us. In September 1944, one hundred Sopho- mores, brave and bold, after their year of apprenticeship, returned to Millbury High. We were fairly confident by now that we knew what we were about. At our first class meeting, we reverted to tradition and elected a boy, George Gallacher, as President. The Vice-president was Shirley Dunn; Secretary, Isabell Hill; and Treasurer, Randy Mogren. That fall we joined the various clubs, but our biggest moment of the year came when we won first honors and beat the Seniors in the Magazine Sales Drive. That year as before, our class sent its athletic wizards to join the teams: thirteen girls to field hockey, six to girls’ basketball, six boys to football, two to boys’ basketball, and four to baseball. That was the year when something new was added to Millbury in the form of a long- desired, much-needed library located in Room I. We like to think it was our studious qualities and our thirst for knowledge that made the library a necessity. Whatever it was, a member of our class, Angela Mazzeo, organized and set the library in operation, thus earning for herself the title of ‘‘First Librarian of Millbury High School.” On January 25 of that year the school play, “Spring Fever,” was staged in the Town Hall. We showed the upperclassmen that we had some little Diana Barrymores and Maurice Evans, too. Angela Mazzeo, Mar- jorie Taylor, Jack Hayes and Roy Adams spent long afternoons rehearsing their lines and preparing for the great comedy, which, incidentally, was a success. That year, when mid-years rolled around, we left the outward worrying to the Fresh- men; but that doesn’t say what inward re- actions took place. But once again the exams passed and we heaved sighs of relief that we were still intact. In the Spring of 1945—on May 8—came that wonderful day, so long-awaited—VE Day. We shall not forget that morning when the bells in town began to ring out the solemn and gladdening news that Germany had surrendered and that the war was over in Europe. In June, the war was going into its last phases, but we were far more interested in plans for vacation. Before we left for the summer, we had one last fling at Dot Lambert’s camp. Everyone enjoyed the swimming, boating and picnicking except Edith Berg, who loudly proclaims that swim- ming in full dress is very uncomfortable. Whatever made the boat move from shore so quickly that day, Edith? August, 1945, may prove to be the most historic month of our lives, for it was during those August days that the first Atomic Bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A few days later came the news that World War II was over. We shall un- doubtedly tell our grandchildren about those days; actually I doubt if they concerned us as much as our imminent return to school in September as upperclassmen. We were Juniors at last, ready to give the same treatment as we had previously re- ceived. At our first class meeting we re- elected George Gallacher, Shirley Dunn, Isabell Hill and Randy Mogren as our class officers. A committee made up of Shirley Crepeau, Bill Jensen, Theresa Lebel, Bob LeClaire, and Bob Stockwell was elected to select class rings. Our girls still sang sweetly in Glee Club and more of our members went out for sports. Every club contained some repre- sentative from the Class of ’47; we managed to have one of us in office in each. Barbara Collette was Secretary of the Biology Club; Jack Hayes, Vice-president of the Science Club; and Roy Adams and Evelyn Berg- strom, President and Secretary, respectively, of th e French Club. Jack Hayes was Editor-in-Chief of the Reflector and several of our members were constant contributors to both our school newspaper and our school magazine. Evelyn Bergstrom, Shirley Dunn, Will Caron, Bill Berthiaume, and Peg Norton made up the committee which set out in search of a photographer to take our lovely class pictures. Nothing unusual occurred to mark the even tenor of our ways. Our subjects were somewhat harder than they had been; we studied more (at least that is what we said). About this time some of the girls acquired bangs and for a short while a few of the boys wore bow ties. The big event of the year was the Junior Prom. Everything came out right, espe- cially the decorations. No one ever thought fish so beautiful as those that decorated the Town Hall that night. Only the Decorating Committee knew what a job it had been to fashion tropical fish from cardboard and create a South Sea Island on the Town Hall curtain. ‘The Prom Committee chairmen were Shirley Crepeau, Bob LeClaire, Gloria Goulet, Theresa Lebel and George Gallacher. We shall never forget their good work. If the Class of 1947 is known for nothing else, it will certainly deserve the title of the best picnicking class in High School history, for we closed our Junior year with another picnic at Dot Lambert’s camp. Later in the month some of us had another get-together at Lake Wallum. September 1946—we were Seniors! It seemed hardly any time since we had strag- gled up the steps as Freshmen, but now we were ““The”’ class. As Seniors, we dominated the high school as every other class before us had done; but we firmly believed that we were twice as harried as any previous class had been. At our first class meeting we elected George Gallacher, President; Shirley Dunn, Vice-president; Isabell Hill, Secretary; and Bob Leclaire, Treasurer. Will Caron and Bob LeClaire were co-captains of football; Peg Norton was captain of field hockey and basketball; Dick Carlstrom, captain of the boys’ basketball team. Carolyn Kilmer was the Senior Captain of the Cheer Leaders. The French and Science Club officers were all Seniors including George Gallacher, Bob LeClaire, Jack Hayes, -Roy “Adams, and Marjorie Taylor. Ah, yes, we were busy little creatures, but there was still plenty of time for foolishness. Take for example the day the girls arrived in school complete with father’s shirt and tie, but minus the usual lipstick. Funny, how the boys didn’t seem to appreciate our costumes. In February, we held the annual Senior Prom, which was a complete success. The Town Hall was adorned with red and white streamers while an enormous heart covered the back-drop. But the highlight of the decorations was the life-sized cupid sus- pended from the ceiling. Praise for this artistic job goes to the Decorating Com- mittee headed by Shirley Crepeau. Other committee chairmen were Gloria Goulet, invitations; Theresa Lebel, orchestra; Bob LeClaire, tickets; and George Gallacher, general chairman. Several pleasant surprises marked our Senior year. One bright morning we dis- covered a new long mirror in the girls’ dressing room. ‘This article has added tre- mendously to the girls’ happiness and morale. Then, there was that never-to-be- forgotten night when Millbury topped Shrewsbury in basketball. Strange how the Senior year flew by. We were busy studying, writing papers, doing Lab work, practicing typing. In the early winter, we began to hold class meetings and we continued to do so right up to the end. And now, it is June 1947. Our Com- mencement Week has started and we are reminiscing over the last four years. I think we all agree that they have been and will be for us the “best years of our lives.” Marjorie TAYLOR Apovess of Welcovne PARENTS, TEACHERS, CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS: This afternoon’s program marks the opening of Senior Week activities which climax our four years at Millbury High School. Realizing that for the Class of 1947 high school days have ended, we regret that the time has passed so quickly and that now we must part. It is fitting, therefore, to express publicly our gratitude to our parents who have given to us pleasures-and educational opportunities which many of them could not enjoy. We also thank the members of the faculty who have patiently and wisely guided us in our scholastic endeavors. Today is a day for reminiscing. Marks, tests, homework, and the everyday problems of school life no longer beset us. We recall now the humorous little incidents which made our school days enjoyable, the friendships that have grown stronger with time, and the scholastic, athletic and social achievements of individual members of the class. All these things taken together have made four happy years—perhaps, the happiest years of our lives. It is with pleasure that I bid you to review with us the highlights of our high school days at these, our Class Day exercises. GEORGE GALLACHER Clase as: (Worps AND Music By EvEtyn BEeRGstTROoM) Verse: Verse: Days of study, sports. and play, The future hes before us now, With fellow classmates day after day; Each one of us will face it somehow; These happy past four years have seemed to fly, To college, or perhaps the working world, The time has come for parting and goodbye. A different task awaits each boy and girl. We'll not forget the good times we’ve had, It doesn’t matter how far we’ll go, The fun, the pleasures, and we might add, Each graduate will realize and know, That from our hearts we know that this is true, That, Millbury High, you’ve given us our start, These many happy memories we owe to you. We dedicate these words to you—they’re from our hearts. Chorus: Millbury High, our days are drawing to an end, We're leaving you. To us you’ve been a loving friend; You’ve given us so many mem’ries cherished and dear, Of friendships, joys and laughter, Always to be revered. Oh, Millbury High, with gratitude we’re here today, Alma Mater, listen to us while we say— We, the Class of ’47, pledge our loyalty, To you, dear school, farewell, farewell, to thee. CES rophecy On the morning of April 21, 1967, the postman rang my doorbell; when I answered it, he handed me a special delivery letter which I opened immediately and read: “Dear Theresa: “When I heard that you were flying to Europe for a week’s vacation, I wondered if you would do me a favor. I am the chair- man of the committee arranging the twenti- eth reunion of the Class of ’47. I understand that some members of our class are now in Paris and London. Would you be willing to get in touch w ith them and urge them to be in Millbury on June 3 for our big get- together? If you can do this for me, I shall be glad to send you a list of the people to contact. Sincerely yours, Peg Norton” I was thrilled at the idea of the twentieth reunion and of course, I was delighted to help Peggy in rounding up the members of 47. Peg, who was general supervisor of all gym instruction in the Millbury schools, would make a splendid chairman for the big event. I wrote at once and accepted the responsibility of seeing my classmates who were abroad. Two weeks later I went to New York to board the famous new B-37, the largest and fastest airplane in the world, for my trip to Paris. However, since the plane did not leave until the following day, I decided to do a little sightseeing. One of the places I wished to see was the Statue of Liberty. Almost at the very peak of the huge statue, I met a painter who, believe it or not, was John Graves. At last he had achieved his ambition to be the “Tops” in his work; well, he certainly had attained the top, even if the altitude was a bit dangerous. John was surprised and pleased to see me and invited me over to his house for dinner. He mentioned that ‘Carolyn’ would love it; then it was that I discovered he had married Carolyn Kilmer, the best cheer leader of her day. I could not accept his kind invitation, but we agreed to meet at the reunion. On the following day, the excitement of getting aboard the great clipper was tre- mendous; but after I had been comfortably settled in my nylon chair, I began to read a paper which I had bought in New York. The headlines read: ‘Rocket Ship Begins Weekly Service to Mars.” I was interested, So. lereads theurest o1 the articles� “Exactly one week from today at 3.00 p.m. a giant silver and red rocket ship will leave from New York for the first of weekly trips to Mars. At the controls will be Major Robert LeClaire of the United States Army Air Corps. The major will be in charge of a crack crew composed of Captain William Berthiaume, Lt. Laurie Cofske, Lt. Richard Bordeaux and Lt. Donald Mead. The Gallacher Rocket Ship was designed by Mr. George Gallacher of the famous Gal- lacher Rocket Works. The first woman president of the United States, Joan Vayo, and the Governor of New York, William Murphy, will be at the field when the ship takes off.” In the very same paper, amazingly enough, I read about another member of the Class of 47. John C. Hayes, now a famous research scientist, had become the talk of the medical world by at last finding the long-awaited cure for that annoying disease—the common cold. I always knew that John would become a great scientist. My reading was interrupted by the radio operator of the great airship. Was I sur- prised to recognize Frank Bengston! Frank had seen me getting aboard and was eager to talk about old times. In the midst of our conversation, the pilot of the ship sent back an invitation for me to visit him up front. This was a real honor, for passengers are not usually allowed in the cockpit. But I soon discovered the reason for my special privilege—the pilot was Arthur Collette, looking very smart in his uniform. Arthur and I spent some time reminiscing about old times until we stopped at the Azores to pick up some passengers. I was becoming so accustomed to being surprised that I didn’t even gasp when the first person to get aboard was Dot Lambert. She told me that since her retirement as head beautician at Paramount Studios, she had been living quietly in the Azores with her millionaire husband, Stanley Grandone. Dot who was now bound on a shopping trip, had a great deal of Hollywood gossip. She told me that the Academy Award winner of the “Oscar” was Barbara Collette, who had won it for her capable portrayal of “Lorna Doone.” Bill Jensen, his beautiful wife, Shirley Crepeau, Bob Kruger, and lovely Gloria Goulet were all scheduled to arrive in Worcester soon for the premiere of their picture—‘‘Cavalcade of Worcester.” Dot and I chatted on until we arrived at our destination. Paris, city of light and fashion; Paris, the beautiful, was all that I had dreamed it would be. I was staying at one of the fashionable hotels and on the first morning whom should I meet but Louis LaBreck. He told me he had married Irene Maynard, had established a chain of res- taurants throughout Europe, and was living happily. Louis told me to be sure to attend a per- formance to be given that night in the Paris Opera House by the world-famous magician Roy Adams, who was on a world tour. I followed his advice and was amazed at Roy’s uncanny ability to read minds and perform magic. After the show was over, Roy and I had a long chat about by-gone days. He offered to cut short his world tour and be in Millbury in June to perform his magical tricks at our class-get-together. One of the names Peg Norton had given me was that of Norma Mongeon. Roy told me that Norma had become a well- known psychologist and was now lecturing in French at the College of the Sorbonne, on the subject “The Strange Behavior of Teen- agers.” The following day I had tea with Norma in her spacious apartment. I was amazed that this beautiful red-haired woman had not married; but she confided that, al- though she had had many offers of marriage, she was still waiting for Vitte, the idol of her girlhood days, to get up enough courage to propose. I promised that Vitte Chunis would attend the reunion so she agreed to come. I knew Vitte would be on leave from Annapolis. At my hotel I could not help hearing the gossip about a certain charming and im- mensely wealthy American woman who had recently arrived. She came to the dining room one evening, and I almost choked on my caviar when I saw it was Virginia Chevalier. Later on, she told me that she was engaged to an English prince and would be married very soon. I was pleased at the prospect of an old classmate of mine be- coming a princess. From Paris I took a plane to London where I lived in a mist for a couple of days. The famous woman doctor, Joan Shea, happened to be there at the time and I was so pleased to see her again after twenty years. She was much the same as she had been at school—brilliant and competent. There was one more name on my list— that of Angela Mazzeo. It was somewhat difficult to locate Angela, but at last I found her. She had secluded herself in her studio where she was busy designing her world-famous clothes that always bear the label ““Made by Angela.” She promised to be in Millbury in June. All too soon my trip was over. I took one of the new clippers back home, arriving in the United States three hours after leaving London. On my first day home I attended a meeting of the Reunion Committee in Millbury. Nancy Carlson, married to John Reade, was there. While John operated his own steel mill, Nancy served as Office Manager of the New England High Carbon Wire Company. Agnes Callahan, Lorraine Bertrand and Edith Berg, who had formed an insurance company all their own, were also present. The girls told me that the plans for the class reunion were coming along very well. The only obstacle to the affair was that the new streamlined school which had been in the process of construction for more than ten years was not yet finished. William Chausse and Richard Stockwell, the archi- tects in charge, had promised to rush the iob to completion. The girls told me that Eddie Kasala had recently pitched his team, the Red Sox, to a no-hit, no-run, 7-0 victory over the New York Yankees. Everyone back in 1947 had known that Eddie would some day make the grade as a great pitcher. I heard that he had married Vera Louis, who was a great help to her husband for she could show him special pitching tricks. Nan told me that Superintendent Clifford Nelson of the House of Correction had written that he would be glad to attend the reunion. He had recently appointed Randy Mogren as his Assistant Superintendent, so Randy would also come. Rachel Lachance, Barba ra Bordeaux, Sylvia Pajala, Constance Carlstrom, and Rita Skamarack had formed an all-girl orchestra which they called the “Merry Wives of West Millbury.” ‘They were to furnish the music for the party. When I asked about Evelyn Bergstrom, who plays the piano beautifully, I was told that she had a contract with MGM to play with Jose Iturbi and therefore would not be able to be present. For the next month we were busy with our plans, but finally the great night arrived— June 3, 1967, the night of the Twentieth Reunion of the Class of 1947. Richard Carlstrom of the Coast Guard Academy, looked very handsome in his striking uni- form as he performed the duties of toast- master. The musical part of the program was under the direction of Rita Ledoux and her partner, Constance Laime, who owned a music studio together. The dancers, led by Lillian Morris, were Gertrude Platts, Elaine Carroll and Beverly Carey; they were famous throughout New England for their beauty and talent. Next on the program was an arrangement of ‘“‘Laura”’ copied from Spike Jones and given by Bernice Snow, Marietta Norton, and Mary Wilczynski, all of whom were now school teachers in Millbury. The entertainment ended with a solo by Maureen Daley, who had become the Dinah Shore of her day. It was wonderful to meet and talk with my old friends such as Nancy Hult and Elaine Dobie, two fashionable young ma- trons, who were now Mrs. Herbert Witter and Mrs. Robert Stockwell, respectively. Herbie, the owner of the Wit-Wit Farms which specialized in raising horses, and Bob, who had invented a new type of electric light, looked well and prosperous. Directly. aeross the fablestrom= me sat Marjorie Taylor, foundress of the Taylor School of Accounting. Betty MacDonald, owner of some of the world’s largest bowling alleys, and Lorraine Boire, supervisor of nurses at Rockefeller Hospital, were sitting with Gloria McGrath and Jean Flynn who had both married wealthy husbands in Florida. Beverly MacDonald was on leave from her duties as head of the Army Nurses. Isabell Hill, a teacher of English at Wellesley College, was with Leone Budreau, prominent authoress and Nobel prize winner. June Quarelli and Doris Fortin, who operated a beauty shop in New York, were telling Shirley Dunn about a new face cream they had invented. Shirley, by the way, was going to Hollywood to direct a movie on “The History of Millbury.” Wilfred Caron, head football coach at Notre Dame, was telling Mary McArdle, an authority on Old and Middle English, about the victories his team had won. Mary was the only person in the world able to translate several lost works of Boda. The evening was a complete success. When the dancing began, Pat McGrath became the darling of the stag line. She had become a_ well-known dancing teacher; naturally everyone wanted to dance with her. Above the orchestra I could hear the clear sweet sound of Sylvia’s trumpet. It was indeed a wonderful evening and as | looked around the hall, I could not help rejoicing that my classmates were successful and happy. I thought, “God Bless You All.” THERESA LEBEL Ges issions And (Covvectiouse One day in 1967, I was travelling through the western part of the United States seeking adventure when I suddenly became lonely for the “old home town” and my friends of by-gone years. I was too far away to make a trip home, so there seemed no way in which to soothe my mind. I was restless and unhappy. Hoping that my attention would be diverted from my homesickness, I wandered into a performance of an opera which was the hit of the country. In the theater I sat alone not paying much attention to what was taking place on the stage. Suddenly a beautiful voice echoed through the theater. I looked up in amazement to see my old friend and classmate, Theresa Lebel. I was hypnotized by her singing; but as soon as she had finished and left the stage, I raced after her. We had a long talk during which she told me how she had become an accom- plished singer. She said her good fortune had started when she had sung the Class Song at our graduation. Her talent had been recognized by many important people who had helped her to stardom. | I left the theater with a feeling that I would never again be lonely or unhappy, for I realized that my friends, members of the Class of 1947, were all about me and that I might meet one of them at any time wherever I might go. ARTHUR COLLETTE, JR. A To THE SENIORS: Farewell is of all words least appropriate for a high school to utter to its seniors. Welcome would suit the occasion far better. In a sense the four years between entrance and graduation are but a period of preparation, and it is only when the diploma is conferred that the real relationship begins. Then you are members of the great body of young men and women who have gone forth through the years as graduates of Millbury High School. But there is a separation from the daily life of the high school which justifies the world farewell. The high school corridors will not be quite the same next fall without the members of 1947; the Science Club, the Reflectorette, the athletic teams will feel your absence; the members of the faculty will miss you. You have the unusual distinction of being the 75th class to hold a public grad- uation from Millbury High School. In 1872 seven pupils composed the first grad- uating class; in 1947, appropriately enough, you number 75. In the three-quarters of a century since 1872 your school, your town, your country have experienced many changes. The things which you take for granted— the radio, the automobile, the airplane—were not even dreams to the Class of ’72. Electricity was still only a workable novelty; and Alexander Bell’s telephone was not invented until 1874. That first class graduated in the unhappy days of the Reconstruction after the bitter internecine struggle of the Civil War. They were faced with the task of reuniting a broken nation; but yours is the task of helping to mak e a lasting peace in a world threatened by the most lethal weapon man has yet devised—the atom bomb. You are going into a world that will challenge your ingenuity, your judgment, and your training. Farewell, 1947; may joy, good fortune, and wisdom go with you always. Roy C. Adams “On with the dance!

Joun Casot Reape, Jr. Qeventy-five Mears ° Merical (Progress In this scientific age with its remarkable cures for nearly every type of disease, we are all health- conscious. But in 1872 did anyone know about penicillin, the sulfonamides, or streptomycin as the panacea for disease and infection? Let us turn back the calendar seventy-five years and contrast the remedies then used for certain sicknesses with the curatives of today. Raging epidemics of throat-distemper, now known as diphtheria, swept through the cities and towns during the winters of the 1870’s. Little or nothing was known about the disease so that there was no effective cure. For this reason the mortality rates were extremely high. Today through the medium of the Schick test we can discover those who are immune and those who are susceptible to the dis- ease. By injecting a suitable mixture of toxin and antitoxin into the blood of the non-immune, it has been found that the human body will produce anti- toxin, a resistant to the disease. Although our grandparents knew about quinine as a cure for malaria, what did they know of pneu- monia? They knew that in order to break the fever they should give hot drinks to the patient and keep him warm. This remedy was probably satisfactory in one out of fifty cases. In 1938 sulfapyridine, one of the sulfonamides, was first administered to per- sons ill with lobar pneumonia. This drug reduced the mortality of the disease from 25% to 5%. An infected appendix was known as inflamation of the stomach. The illness was marked by a series of vomiting attacks and severe abdominal pains. The doctors of that time did not know enough about surgery to remove the appendix, the cause of the attacks. When the appendix burst, the poison spread throughout the system and the patient died. Even if a courageous doctor tried to alleviate the suffering and did operate, there was very slight chance for a successful operation because of the fact that antiseptics were not yet in common use. If the patient did not die from loss of blood during the operation, he would probably die from the after- effects, such as infection. In our time, if the appen- dix is diseased, it is removed by means of an opera- tion. This operation is aided by the use of anti- septics, anaesthesia and modern surgery, while dangers from infection are lessened by penicillin injections. If the patient loses a considerable amount of blood, a transfusion is given. A disease which had been diagnosed in 1872 was tuberculosis. The treatment consisted of plenty of fresh air and rest. This is similar to the treatment now employed. However, we have X-rays to dis- cover if the person has tuberculosis and if so, how far it has advanced. Recently, after a series of ex- periments, streptomycin, a “wonder drug,” has been proposed as a cure for tuberculosis. There is another important and dreaded sickness which many people do not even classify as a disease. This, of course, is insanity. Seventy-five years ago insane people were often treated like cattle. In one case a person was chained in a cellar because he was considered too dangerous. Instead of receiving proper treatment, this person was placed in the cellar to die. Now we have sanatoriums and regular hospital wards which are devoted entirely to the treatment of these afflicted people. During the war many of our soldiers developed a type of neurosis because they were under too great a mental strain. But every effort is being made to help these men by special therapeutic care, so they can once more return to their former status as useful American citizens. Thus far have we advanced in the alleviation of some diseases during the last seventy-five years. What the future holds is something no one of us can foretell. We can hope, however, that within the next seventy-five years instead of turning our skill and energy into work for destruction, we shall devote these talents to the amelioration of man’s illnesses and infirmities. Joan SHEA cfrom Or? Ase to Anot er Of this fact: the world is certain: that man is the one and only human creature endowed with the power to reason sanely and to think with his senses functioning in a proper, orderly manner. Having been blessed by God with these abilities, he, natur- ally, has made rapid progress in all aspects of civili- zation:—music, education, literature, art, govern- ment, and science. Occasionally overpowering forces have halted him, and have even forced him into a state of declination; but, being aggressive and spirited, he soon found again the path leading him forward—always forward. Because of his ever- increasing knowledge, man has lived through many ages—the stone age, then copper, bronze, iron and still more recently steel. Civilization all along the line has been and will be continuous, changing and cumulative, the thanks for these rapid stages of development that the world has visualized going to the relentless, driving force who has been the instigator behind it all—man. By way of proof, let us examine this iron and steel age—the age of modern-day wonders—the age that primitive or medieval man could never have even imagined. How could he be expected to picture our gigantic steel mills with their bessemer, open- hearth or electric furnaces; the unbelievably intense heat where almost every step is accomplished by tool and machinery? Or the equally huge blast furnaces producing fifty to sixty million tons ot iron ore annually? The uses of these valuable minerals are countless:—railway cars, intricately designed bridges, foundations for those breath-taking skyscrapers, frames for subway and tunnel construction, armor plate, projectiles, and a hundred other significant applications. It seemed impossible that another age even more startling, more revolutionary in nature, could re- place the one in which man has been living. “What,” people asked, “‘is coming next?” Their question was soon answered. For the world is now standing on the threshold of something so dynamic in character that even our scientists pause and shake their heads, and wonder if the discovery should have been made. The atomic age is here, causing all other periods in man’s existence to look like so many third or fourth grade elementary books lined up beside a college dictionary. For surely this will be a future com- pletely over-shadowing the importance of all other achievements made—a future packed with enough meaning to throw past ages into a state of oblitera- tion. Whereas once man looked down into the ground for his coal, tin, copper, aluminum and other sources of supply and material, tomorrow he will look up into the universe. The sky is no longer the limit. Whereas once man saw where his thirst for knowledge would be satisfied, where he actually visualized the vast, tremendous deposits of wealth that the ground held, tomorrow he will be groping into the unknown, feeling his way, not knowing what to expect; only imagining, calculating. Cer- tainly, mistakes have been made in the past. They have drilled for oil in regions supposedly filled with the substance; they have dug for coal where the earth was assumed to be rich with the mineral—to no avail. Innumerable times their computations have been wrong, but what was lost? Merely time, energy and equipment. If one section of the earth couldn’t yield the mineral deposits desired, what was to stop men from searching elsewhere and starting anew? Again men are faced with the same situation. Ignorance prev ails as far as the atomic age is con- cerned. But can man afford to calculate, guess, imagine? Can he afford to make mistakes and say to himself: “If at first I don’t succeed, I'll try, try again’? Can he take that chance? The past seventy-five years have answered most of the queries asked in the nineteenth century. Thus it appears that another three-quarters of a century may have to elapse before the mysteries that are before us now reach their solutions in the future. But in the meantime, as man now turns from the materialistic darkness of the earth to the in- tangibility, the light of the universe, let us hope that he will make spiritual as well as intellectual progress. The entire world must realize that there is Someone whose guiding hand is vitally necessary as man tries to adjust himself properly from one age to another. EvetyN BERGSTROM iL oe Can MaAanrMments ano the World As we, the seventy-fifth graduating class of Mill- bury High School, sit here upon this stage, the world about us is characterized by confusion and turmoil. The United Nations Assembly is faced by so many vital problems that where to begin is a problem in itself. Palestine is a seething ruin in which human life is of no importance. Half of Europe is in the throes of starvation. To re-educate the German youth is an ever-present task. Every way in which we turn is blocked by looming problems. And yet no one seems to realize that right at his hand lies the solution to these enigmas. Everyone knows these four commandments: “Thou shalt not steal.” “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ goods.” “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” “Thou shalt not kill.” Perhaps if we had used these commandments our world would be a better place in which to live. Let us go back through the years to see what might have happened if these four commandments had been obeyed. The scene is the South ten years after the Civil War. Reconstruction, one of the blackest periods in our history, is in full swing. Men like Thaddeus Stevens are governing the Southerners by blood- shed and corruption. The ‘‘carpetbaggers,” out for anything they can get, are everywhere. The once aristocratic plantation owners are poverty-stricken because their wealth has been stolen from them with no pretense at justice. Bitter against the North, they have formed bands to protect themselves. Their conquerors are grasping with gory hands illicit gains from the helpless conquered. Steal, steal, and steal again, is the byword. The result of this period has been a breach, which we still have not healed, between the North and the South. Is there not a commandment which states, ‘‘Thou shalt not steal?” If this commandment were fol- lowed, would such a thing as reconstruction have been possible? Many wars, many difficulties, and many years later, the scene has changed. It is Manchuria in 1932. A railroad was blown up in Mukden, a Japa- nese province. Without any proof, Japan accused the Chinese of this explosion, and the next day the Japanese ordered their troops in Manchuria to com- mence fighting. Thousands of lives were lost because Japan with an all-powerful greed desired territorial expansion. Manchuria was the first step on the road toward Pearl Harbor. The League of Nations, afraid to injure Japan, did nothing. The Japanese inspired by their success, soon began the Shanghai campaign. Death and destruction, the satellites of Japan, were everywhere. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ goods.”’ Another of the four commandments was broken. We have seen and experienced the terrible results of this violation. One year later another step toward World War II was taken. A man named Adolf Hitler became chancellor in Berlin. The human race took a back- ward step with this man’s rise to power! Lies were the foundation on which this maniac built his cam- paign. While negotiating peace with one nation, he was invading another. Because the Jews were a minority race, he exploited them with his ever- effective lies. On and on he went weaving a solid pattern of treachery and deceit. With lies he hoped to conquer the world and with lies he almost did. Someone long ago must have heard the command- ment, ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”” Why was it not remembered when Hitler rose to power? Today in the year A.D. 1947, we have a new problem. In our efforts to win a war we created a monster which seeks to overpower us. The atomic bomb with all its death-dealing destructiveness is among us. We have seen what one bomb did to Hiroshima. Think of the immeasurable damage two or three of these Frankensteins could do. And yet around us we hear talk of another war. Can there be an atomic war and a human race? One must lose and the human race is certainly the long shot. But it is not too late. There is still one com- mandment left. Obey this one we must, if we wish to survive. It is our destiny to observe that fourth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” Joun Hayes 1a in Mere (Music To the common man the music of today is ultra- modern, post-war, experimental music synonymous with incomprehensible din. Actually, modern music is more than futuristic music. It claims to be scientific, mathematical, reflecting a mechanical age. If it is distressing, it is because of a chaotic era of civilization. Modern trends inevitably shape the aims of modern composers. Music today refuses to symbolize the inner life. Nineteenth century music touched upon the peaks of spiritual concept; twentieth century music is as practical as the age. A whole world of changing experience lies between Lohengrin and The Bolt, an industrial ballet by the Russian composer, Dmitri Shostakovitch. If we find modern music incomprehensible and difficult to understand, we must remember that the music of yesterday was the “‘modern” music of that period. Composition which seem unbearably noisy today may suddenly be great music tomorrow. All originality in art is misunderstood when it is first presented. Even the compositions of Beethoven and Liszt were once criticized. When the now beloved First Symphony in C Minor of Johannes Brahms was first presented in Munich in 1874, it was hissed by an audience of ardent critics. The arresting music of Wagner was once considered “surprising, daring.” From about the middle of the eighteenth century, when the career of Johan Sebastian Bach ended, Germany has indisputably held the highest place in music. Mozart, Gluck, Haydn and many others, owe much of the sweetness which they united with German strength to their study of the Italian mas- ters. But in Beethoven and Mendelssohn the traces of southern influence are hidden, and new emotional and poetic elements began to find their way into music. Debussy made use of these elements by bringing us songs of romance and idealism. World War I wakened music from Debussy’s dream, and the call was for Reality. America threw off the yoke of German dominance, and in doing so, it was forced to seek substitutes in music by develop- ing its own resources. Thus came the era of rag- time tunes, blues, jazz, swing and boogie-woogie. There is a recent indication that musical trends are “‘going back.’”? Modern music, according to the celebrated pianist and composer, Rachmaninoff, “must return to the fundamentals which made music of the past great. Music should bring relief; it s hould rehabilitate men’s minds and _ souls. Modern music does not do this. Music cannot be just color and rhythm; it must reveal the emotions of the heart.” The radio and the phonograph have made us familiar with many different forms of music. The popular song of the moment and the current jazz piece are merely of passing interest, pleasing tem- porarily, and then vanishing to leave scarcely a memory or a ghost of a tune behind. True, there are a few modern pieces which may take hold for the world of tomorrow to hear and recognize as the compositions of the twentieth century. But the fact that these are few is symbolic that the modern critic still recognizes truly worthwhile music. There are compositions that will live as long as men and women appreciate the finer flower of our civili- zation; songs by musicians who have written their names indelibly on the scroll of fame. Music, in its various forms, has come to us through the ages. It has survived wars, it has withstood de- pressions, it has suppressed defeatism. It is of even greater importance in the life of the common man today, than it was in past years. Although it is pre- sented in innumerably different ways, fundamentally it is the same. It is the outlet through which man allows his emotions to escape, and as long as there is man, there will be music.

Many long afternoons were spent in racking our brains to find just the right thing to say and the right way in which to say it. As we collected, wrote and edited our material, each new item brought back to us memories of some happy experience or some humorous moment we of the Class of 1947 had shared with one another. Of course, we cannot fully express either the joys we have experienced during the past four years or the regrets we feel at leaving high school; but we have at- tempted to publish a book which will live as a true record of our class. It is our hope and our desire that your pleasure in reading the 1947 Aftermath will equal the joy we have had in preparing it. REFLECTOR The Reflector, the biannual magazine of Millbury High School, ha s completed an unusually successful year of publication. The issues, appearing at Christmas and Easter, contained comments on current events, essays, poetry, social news, alumni news, short stories, and book reviews, as well as articles on athletics and aeronautics. The format and design of the 1946-1947 Reflector have been very attractive since each issue was planned to symbolize the season in which it appeared. Gloria Goulet, John Hayes and Robert LeClaire, who were the only members of the Senior Class represented on the staff this year, want to thank Miss Marl- borough for her enthusiasm and interest in making the magazine a real part of Millbury High School life. RoBertT LECLAIRE This year the Reflectorette, official newspaper of Millbury High School, appeared in a new dress—it has been printed instead of mimeographed. The staff decided to print a definite number of copies in 1947-1948 at a regular subscription rate. The Class of 1947 had many representatives on the staff. John Hayes was Editor-in-Chief; Robert LeClaire, Joan Shea and Marjorie Taylor were Assistant Editors. Evelyn Bergstrom wrote Club News and Barbara Bordeaux served as Alumni Editor. Margaret Norton and Robert LeClaire had charge of all sports write-ups. School news reporters were Barbara Collette and Shirley Dunn. George Gallacher was Business Manager. The members of the staff of the Reflectorette take pleasure in thanking Miss Burns and Miss Walsh for their splendid cooperation and guidance in making the Reflectorette a success. Joan SHEA REPLECTORETTE SCIENCE CLUE The Science Club has had a busy and interesting year under the encouraging supervision of Mr. McGinn. Every member of the Club wishes to thank Mr. McGinn for his cheerful interest in making the year’s work so pleasant and so worthwhile. At the beginning of the year the officers of the Club— President, Robert LeClaire, Vice-president, George Gallacher, and Secretary-Treasurer, Marjorie Taylor, planned and worked out a good program for the weekly meetings. Members performed experiments or gave demonstra- tions on some scientific matters in which they were par- ticularly interested. For example, these amateur scientists explained the operation of a gyroscope, showed how plastics were made, and demonstrated the manufacture of cos- metics. Moving pictures on current scientific developments heightened interest in these experiments. It was a good year and we who are Seniors will long remember the Science Club meetings. MavurREEN DALEY At the first meeting ot the Biology Club on October 28, 1946, Lawrence Nevalsky was elected President; Carl Hunt, Vice-president; Margaret Wiback, Treasurer; and Bette Fleming, Secretary. The officers, together with the twenty members, began at once to plan club activities for the year. Food testing, demonstration of insecticides and indica- tors, dissection of round worms and the development of slides showing insect mouth parts and wings formed the basis of the year’s program. In January, the Club, ac- companied by Mr. Kenary, visited the Natural History Museum. Plans are now being made for a field trip to the Fish Hatchery in Sutton. Former members of the Club who are now Seniors in- clude Betty MacDonald, Beverly MacDonald, Barbara Collette, Margaret Norton and Mary McArdle. They wish to thank Mr. Kenary for his cooperation and interest and to express their hope that the Biology Club will have continued success. Mary McArRDLE BIOLOGY CLUE GLEE CLUE In 1935 the Glee Club was organized for the benefit of those pupils who not only wanted to perfect their skill, but who wished to understand and appreciate music. Since that time, every third period on Tuesday has been devoted to a Glee Club meeting in the Assembly Hall. This twelfth year of its existence has been a good one for the group. Under the understanding and skillful direc- tion of Miss Bowe, members have enjoyed learning a wide variety of songs as well as preparing for the Commence- ment Exercises. The Commencement program will include ‘“To Each His Own,” by Joy Livingston and Roy Evans; ‘‘Were You There?” by Roy Ringwald; and “‘Waters of Minnetonka,” by Thurlow Lieurance. The Seniors and the Glee Club will unite in singing ““Laudamus,” by Prothoroe. The members of the Club wish to express their apprecia- tion to Miss Bowe for her kindness in helping them to realize and express the beauty and value of music. THERESA LEBEL Another successful year has been completed by the thirty members of ‘‘Le Cercle Frangais’’ under thesu per- vision of Miss Brown. At the first meeting last fall the following four Seniors were elected club officers: President, Roy Adams; Vice-president, John Hayes; Secretary, Marjorie Taylor; and Treasurer, George Gallacher. Club work has varied from the production of French plays and quiz contests to the reading and discussion of French classical literature. All programs have been de- signed to achieve the club’s chief aims—to help members to greater skill in speaking and reading French as well as to better appreciation of the language. An outstanding event of the year was the formulation of a constitution which was drawn up by the officers and unanimously accepted by the members. It is hoped that this constitution will serve the club in future years. Nous, les Seniors du ‘‘Cercle Francais’? voulons étendre un grand remerciement a Mademoiselle Brown pour sa direction and pour son travail, et au “Cercle Francais,” le meilleur succés dans l’avenir. Roy Apams FRENCH CLUE LIBRARY | STAFF CHEERING SQUAD We, the cheer leaders—Barbara Johnson, Marjorie Webber, Audrey Conley, Roberta Webber, Bette Fleming, and Carolyn Kilmer—have thoroughly enjoyed attending all the games during the year and doing our part to inspire both the teams and the boys and girls of Millbury High School. We have done our best to devise new cheers and to make the old ones better. Miss Marl- borough, our advisor, has helped us with excellent suggestions and encouragement at all times. We want to thank her for the time she has spent with us. CAROLYN KiLMER BASEBALL Coach Marty Roach was happily surprised at the large turnout of lower classmen who reported for baseball prac- tice on the first day of the current season. Only four Seniors—Donald Mead (Captain), Eddie Kasala, Ran- dolph (Randy) Mogren and Richard Carlstrom—are making bids for places in the first lineup. The schedule for 1947 includes April 22, Northbridge (home); April 25 (open); April 29, Leicester (home); May 2, Shrewsbury (home); May 6, Uxbridge (away); May 9, Grafton (home); May 13, Auburn (away); May 16 (open); May 20, Shrewsbury (away); May 23, Uxbridge (home); May 26, Northbridge (away); May 27, Grafton (away); May 29, Auburn (home); June 3, Leicester (away). Blackstone Valley Games At this writing our baseball nine has not yet been tested in a game; but as we begin our 1947 season, our hopes for a championship team soar high. We, the Seniors, know how much we regret that this is our last season to play for M.H.S. We sincerely hope that Mr. Roach and his future baseball teams will have continuous good luck. EDWARD KASALA In early August thirty-five candidates reported to Mr. Roach for football practice. We all hoped for a winning team, but through injuries to key men and some unfortu- nate breaks, we won only two games and tied one. The highlight of the season was Millbury’s amazing comeback to defeat Auburn High, 13 to 7. This win as- sured us of second place in the Blackstone Valley League. Bob LeClaire, Wilfred Caron, co-captains, Frank Beng- ston, Arthur Collette, Richard Carlstrom, Donald Mead and Randy Mogren are the Seniors who have played their last game of high school football. To Mr. Roach, who devoted long hours of hard work to our training, we leave our sincerest wishes for a champion- ship team next fall. Ranvo.tpu Mocren, JR. FOOTBALL BASKETBALL Five days after the closing of our football season, Coach Marty Roach announced that basketball candidates would report for practice. Approximately forty men appeared at the first practice session. After considerable competi- tion and several weeks of good hard work, varsity uniforms were given to L. Nevalsky, R. Dunn, C. Lutendre, G. Gallacher, R. LeClaire, F. LeClaire, B. Blanchard, R. Donnelly, D. Carlstrom and F. Perry. The last two mem- bers were lettermen from the previous year. Bob LeClaire was named manager of the team and Dick Carlstrom, captain. The season started in Holden on December 20 and ended in Northbridge on February 21. Although ours was not a winning team bringing honor and glory to Mill- bury High School, we played our best right through to the end, showing constant improvement and losing most of our games by close decisions. There were five games can- celled because the team was unable to use the Town Hall for either practice or home games during a good part of the season. Our happiest memories will be of the night we defeated Shrewsbury in a fast-moving contest, 34 to 24. The three Seniors—George Gallacher, Robert LeClaire and Richard Carlstrom thank Coach Marty Roach for his helpfulness and encouragement in victory and defeat. May he have the “‘best of all seasons’ next year. RicHARD CARLSTROM FIELD HOCKEY This year the varsity field hockey team was an all-senior one. Members in- cluded Constance Carlstrom, Elaine Dobie, Nancy Carlson, Dorothy Lambert, Nancy Hult, Marjorie Taylor, Patricia McGrath, Maureen Daley, Joan Vayo, Carolyn Kilmer and Captain Margaret Norton. The season was a good one for us. We won two games, tied three, and lost three. One of the most exciting events of the year was the annual Shrewsbury— Millbury game, when we held our long-time rivals to a scoreless tie. Even more important than our successes on the playing field has been the en- joyment we have had in being members of the hockey team. Next fall we know that we shall miss both practice sessions and games. It is our hope, therefore, that the members of future hockey teams will have as much enjoyment and success as we have had. Part of our enjoyment has been due to Miss Sullivan’s excellent coaching and her patience with us whether we won or lost. Good luck, Miss Sullivan! MarGarReEtT Norton BASKETBALL Representatives from each class attended the opening practice of the girls’ basketball team. Members of the senior group were Captain Peggy Norton, Mar- jorie Taylor, Connie Carlstrom, Mary McArdle and Elaine Dobie. Most of these, being veteran players, received positions on the regular team. Because the Town Hall was unavailable for a large part of the season, practice sessions and home games were limited. Seven games were played however, but only two of these took place on the home floor. We lost five but won two. Despite our unfavorable record, we derived great experience and enjoyment from each game. In leaving, we, the seniors, extend our sincerest thanks to Miss Sullivan. We hope next year her teams win every single game.
