GE S Dear Millbury High: We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty, wish to review some of our unforgettable experiences while residing at your school for the last four years. As our summer vacation of nineteen hundred and forty- six came to an end, we began to look forward to our future years of new customs, strange surroundings, and many new friends. We entered high school in September with the many problems confronting every first year class. As we sat in the Assembly Hall for our first time as freshmen, our thoughts were all turned to, ‘Will | ever get through the four long years ahead?’ We were instructed as to where the rooms were, what stairways to use, and the bell system at Millbury High. By October, we were finally accustomed to the many difficulties we expected never to overcome, and were al- lowed to hold our first class meeting. Electing our class officers and cheerleaders was, to us, the most important event during our first year. Richard Hamilton was chosen President; Robert Dunn, Vice-President; Lois LeClaire, Treasurer; Marjorie Webber, Secretary. Barbara John- son and Marjorie Webber were our representatives on the cheering squad. When our coach, Mr. Martin Roach, called his football team together, our class showed great enthusiasm. Although no one made the first team, many were admitted on the second, among whom were Joe Paletta, Lester Gilmore, Robert Collette, Robert Blanchard, and William Hoey. Of course, we girls made our contributions, too, when Miss Sullivan called our field hockey team together. The following girls proved an asset to the team: Janice Army, Barbara Vayo, Betty Brady, Barbara Army, Pearl Couture, Marion May, Isabel Green, and Louise Caron. Boys participating in the basketball games were Robert Blanchard, Donald LeClaire, Charles Hamilton, Michael Holohan, Lester Gilmore, and Joe Paletta. Girls’ basketball was also a success when Virginia Mogren made the varsity team and Renee LaChance, Martha Strat- ford, Joan Rice, and Barbara Army showed their ability on the second team. islo ry Then February came and with it mid-year examinations. Although they were difficult, we all passed successfully. When spring came and baseball was the main sports topic, we were proud when Foster Rainville appeared for his first practice. This brought our first year to a close and we turned our thoughts to the long vacation ahead. Returning to school in September we felt much older, knowing that we were not the youngest in the school. Our days of apprenticeship were over, as we began our studies once more. Because our class officers had proved successful, they were re-elected for a second term. Although we were only sophomores, we were now start- ing to get up in the world. Three of our classmates—Lois Glover, Joan Rice, and Beverly Briddon—were editors on the Reflector staff. This wasn't all; many of us also made our contributions to the French Club, Science Club, and Biology Club in which Ann McLaughlin served as secretary and Joan McGrath, treasurer. By this time our school had organized an orchestra and the sophomores were the first to become members. With Carol Toto's charming voice, Beverly Briddon’s piano solos, and David Anderson's trumpet adaptations, the orchestra certainly had its share of talent. Again the football season arrived, but this year Joe Paletta, Bob Collette, Bob Blanchard, and Lester Gilmore were chosen as our candidates on Mr. Roach's first team. For the first time in many years, Millbury High beat North- bridge with a score of 12-0. The basketball team was highlighted with six of our boys, and when Bobby Blanchard showed his great ability, we were all very proud. Again mid-years came to an end and we all turned our attention to baseball. This second base- ball season proved successful when Michael Holohan and Foster Rainville made their way to many scores. Then that big day finally came; we were to choose our class rings. Members on the committee were Joe Paletta, Betty Brady, Lois LeClaire, and Barbara Army. Yes, our second year was finally over and we looked forward to becoming Upper Classmen in only a few months. September, 1949, brought about many achievements. We were much older and felt more independent. Four of our classmates were officers in the Glee Club: President, Virginia Mogren; Vice-President, Joan Rice; Treasurer, Janice Army; Librarian, Joan Kortekamp. Many of us went out for sports, and, of course, we again participated in the clubs. Foster Rainville became Vice-President and Kenneth Webster, Secretary-Treasurer of the Biology Club. When the Science Club met for its first get-together, Margery McKie and Rich- ard Hamilton staunchly supported the group. Joan Rice and Lois Glover joined the French Club under the direction of Miss Brown. Then our class rings finally arrived. Yes, we all flocked to the jeweler's for the rings that were just “out of this world.” But, as the year went on, we began to realize that this was just another episode during our years at high school. Our previous class officers were again re-elected. Although the Town Hall was unable to be used and there wasn't an y high school basketball team, there were class basketball teams in which many of the juniors took part. Our Junior Prom was now approaching, and to us, this was the greatest event during our third year. It was really a ‘big night’ at the high school. With Vera Carlson, Lois LeClaire, Joanne Lawton, Lois Glover, James Bengtson, Joe Paletta and Robert Johnson on the decorating committee, the prom was certainly a complete success. The football team was again ardently supported by the Class of 1950, but this year twelve of our boys tried out. They were Joe Paletta, James Bengston, Bob Blanchard, Bob Collette, David Anderson, Charles Hamilton, Richard Hamil- ton, Ronald Larson, Lester Gilmore, Robert Couillard, Robert Hagstrom, Michael Holohan, and Foster Rainville. Our orchestra remained the same except for Richard Ham- ilton, who became Master of Ceremonies. Although many of us were on the honor list, only one, Pearl Ethier, received a Horace Mann emblem. And again, another year passed, but we could hardly believe that our wonderful times at Millbury High were rapidly coming to an end. Seniors? We made it! But, how? Was it true? Yes, it was true, and although our first few days as seniors made us haughty, we all felt different in only a few months. Our ideas of being the rulers of the three lower classes were harkened when Mr. Beaton made us realize that we also were to abide by the laws we had previously tried to obey, but unfortunately had quite often overlooked. Again our class officers were unanimously re-elected. They were as follows: President, Richard Hamilton; Vice- President, Bob Dunn; Treasurer, Lois LeClaire; and Secretary, Marjorie Webber. Joe Paletta was the Captain of the foot- ball team; Betty Brady, Captain of field hockey, and Bernie Foster was the Senior Captain of the cheering squad. Lois Glover and Joan Rice were Co-editors of the Reflector. The Feature Editors were Richard Hamilton, Michael Holohan, Virginia Mogren, Carol Toto, Barbara Vayo, Bruce Brown and Paul Lundin. During the month of October, a committee was chosen to select our photographer. Representing the picture com- mittee were Robert Couillard, Bruce Brown, Betty Brady, Janice Army, and Michael Holohan. The J. Carroll Brown Studio was selected. Our D.A.R. Representative was Doris Graves. She was selected on the basis of dependability, leadership, service, and patriotism. It was now time for the Senior Prom and we turned our thoughts to the many arrangements that had to be made. The following chairmen were chosen: Vera Carlson, Decor- ating Committee; Kenneth Webster, Orchestra Committee; and Bruce Brown, Ticket Committee. Editor-in-Chief of the Aftermath was Joe Paletta; the Assistant Editors were Bruce Brown and Gloria Adams; the Associate Editors were Joan Rice and Lois Glover. Pearl Ethier was chosen Manager of the Advertising Committee. Rose Colombo, Betty Brady, Norman Joslin, and Robert Dunn were the Assistant Advertising Committee. During the latter part of March, the seniors elected the Class Day Speakers. Those chosen were Prophet, Norman Joslin; Statistician, Lois Glover; Giver of Gifts, Michael Holo- han; Testator, Joanne Lawton; Omissions and Corrections, David Anderson; and Historian, Marjorie Webber. Also during the month of March, Mr. Beaton called to- gether the honor students who had an average of eighty-five or better. They were Richard Hamilton, Janice Army, Barbara Army, Pearl Ethier, Lois LeClaire, Joan Ruddy, Joan Rice, Betty Brady, Renee LaChance, Beverly Cofske and Ruth Green. After the presentation of the essays, the judges se- lected Lois LeClaire, Pearl Ethier, Richard Hamilton, and Ruth Green to be graduation speakers. Yes, our Senior Year was over, and we found ourselves reminiscing over the last four years. Our ‘hen parties,’ football games, hockey games, our wonderful programs, teachers, and our true friends. When would we see them again and how were we going to feel when September came along and we, as alumni, would go off to college, prep schools, and chosen careers? We, the Class of 1950, hope you have enjoyed this letter and will always remember us, even when a new and modern high school is erected to take your place. Yours truly, MARJORIE WEBBER CLASS PROPHECY June 1, 1965 Miss Marjorie Webber, Director Bureau of Economic Stability Department of the Interior Washington, D. C. Dear Miss Webber: SUBJECT: A report concerning the general economic status of the inhabitants of the Town of Millbury, Massachusetts. Upon receiving your request to make said report, | im- mediately proceeded to Millbury. When | arrived there, | was amazed at the changes the town had undergone since | had last seen it. It is now a thriving little metropolis and the whole population seems to be incited with a determina- tion to strive onward toward success and prosperity. In order to obtain the information you desire, | took a cross-section of the whole town, including people from all walks of life. My first stop was in an outlying district of the town, where the huge plant of Anderson Company, Aircraft Manufac- turers, is located. Mr. David H. Anderson, President of the company, is also the designer of many of this country's leading jet and rocket-driven airplanes. Miss Joan Korte- kamp, Mr. Anderson's personal secretary, told me that gov- ernment orders for aircraft are pouring in every day. | then traveled to the local airfield, which is also a testing-ground for Anderson Company. There | met two of the test pilots, Jim Bengtson and Fred Holland. They are reputed to be the best test pilots in the business. While | was in the offices of the airport, Mr. Vincent Boliver, General Manager, invited me into the control tower. Four girls—Janice Army, Barbara Hairyes, Ruth Green, and Barbara Nieuwenhoff—were up there, busily engaged in controlling the flow of incoming and outgoing air traffic. Mr. Boliver informed me that these girls are very capable workers. | could also see that they enjoyed their jobs tremendously. | was just about to leave the airdrome when | saw six large tank trucks roar by. | read the lettering on one of them. It said: GAULIN FUEL COMPANY Any type fuel for any type need. Deliveries from anywhere to anywhere. ROLAND GAULIN, OWNER The airport gets all its high-octane airplane gasoline through Gaulin’s company. In my next step | decided to kill two birds with one stone. | headed at once for the exclusive eating place, La Maison Millbury. Here | ate a delightful little lunch which was pre- pared for me by that world-famous chef, Gloria Adams. The proprietors of La Maison, Messrs. Herbert Gabrielson and Jim Mooney, reported that the fame of the estab- lishment is spreading rapidly and that the reservation. list is growing daily. After lunch | visited Millbury’s business district. The first thing that attracted my attention there was a large new building, obviously the center of the shopping district. The first two floors of this building are occupied by Leonard Bruce's department store . It is a member store of the de- partment store chain owned by Bruce Brown, the business magnate. The manager of Leonard Bruce's Millbury branch is Miss Lois LeClaire, who is an expert in the field of business man- agement. Working in Miss LeClaire's outer office are three girls who do much of the bookkeeping and secretarial work of the department store. These girls are the Misses Lucille Bourdeau, Marie Garrepy, and Renee LaChance. The girls said the office work kept them very busy because of the store's large volume of business. As | passed through the store, | talked with some of the numerous clerks and salesgirls. Eleanor Dautrich and Cecile LeMay, both in ladies’ lingerie, told me that they enjoyed working in Leonard Bruce's because of the cheery atmosphere and excellent treatment accorded to all employees. In the millinery department, | couldn't help noticing the many stunning women's hats. | asked Miss Rosalie Baroni, who was in charge of the department, where the hats came from. | learned that these were some of the creations of the two famous hat designers, Barbara Vayo and Joanne Lawton. These women, in joining forces, have come to determine the styles of women’s chapeaux the world over. | was leaving the millinery department just as two women were entering. They were the former Rose Colombo and the former Martha Stratford, both very happily married. They were of the opinion that Leonard Bruce's was a won- derful addition to Millbury’s shopping district. The floor just above the department store is occupied by a model agency. The Johnson Agency, run by Bob Johnson, is the center of the New England modeling industry. Bob told me that two of his better-known models, Bernadette Foster and Pearl Couture, are in constant demand by hat designers. Two models whom the leading furriers of the country often employ are Barbara Dand and Nancy Jones. Bob also claimed that his right-hand man, Nipper Hamilton, who scouts for the Johnson Agency, is the best judge of good models he's ever seen. My next stop was in the office of Mr. Richard Hamilton, the principal of Millbury High School. Mr. Hamilton has been teaching in Millbury High for a number of years and has recently taken over the position of principal. Two other graduates of Millbury High are also teaching there. The school is very fortunate in having Miss Rosamond Hall as head of the English Department, and Miss Margery McKie as head of the Department of Chemistry and Physics. Mr. Hamilton also informed me that within the year Mill- bury High will be having a new Director of Athletics. Joe Paletta, the famous professional football star, is returning to coach Millbury’s aspiring young athletes in football, basketball, and baseball. Two other members of Joe's class in high school have made good in the athletic world. Bob “Dogger” Blanchard, who was with Joe during his pro football years, has retired from active play and is now a scout for a large eastern university. And to every baseball fan in the country the names Red Sox and Foster Rainville have become synonymous. The hard-slugging left-fielder has never quite reached the home run mark set by Babe Ruth, but he’s come close many times during his last decade of playing. | left Mr. Hamilton's office just after school dismissal time. As | strolled down the street | observed that a large number of students were entering a long, low building called The Bowlerdrome. On entering | found that it is actually a combination soda shop and bowling alley. The Bowler- drome is operated, in part, by none other than the old bowl- ing champion, Bob Dunn. Bob has collaborated with Lois Glover and Marion May, two experienced confectioners, in the Bowlerdrome Corporation. Marion and Lois run the soda shop in front while Dunn operates the bowling alleys in back. All three feel that they have a perfect business arrangement. Naturally a growing metropolis like Millbury should have a radio and television station. Certain persons in Millbury must have thought so, too, because in 1960 the Independent Broadcasting Company came into being in Millbury. Owned by Mr. Kenneth Webster, |. B.C. transmits both radio and television all over the New England states. The Independent Broadcasting Company, besides broad- casting many shows and programs for a national radio net- work, also broadcasts and televises a variety of shows right from its Millbury station. For instance, the girl with the gol- den voice, songstress Carol Toto, may be heard on her own show every Saturday night at 8:30. The nationally-known comedy team of Gilmore and Hag- strom also broadcasts from Millbury. Every Sunday night, Bob Hagstrom and Lester Gilmore, two of the nation’s top funnymen, take over the network for a half-hour of fun and hilarity which keeps listeners chuckling for days. Every night at 6:30, Bob Couillard, locally prominent sportscaster, gives a complete coverage of all national and local sports events. He has also interviewed many impor- tant sports figures on his broadcast. Not long ago two famous Broadway actresses, Miss Pearl Ethier and Miss Vera Jo Carlson, visited Millbury. Ken Webster, owner of |. B. C., persuaded them to televise over his network a show in which they had co-starred on Broad- way. Thus, under the direction of Paul Lundin, the Holly- wood producer and director who was hired especially for the show, they presented to the New England television audience the Broadway hit show, The Irresistibles. |Incident- ally, this show was written especially for Pearl and Vera Jo by Virginia Mogren, the most well-known of our contem- porary authors and playwrights. No radio station is complete today without a staff of disc-jockeys. The most popular of I|.B.C.'s disc-jockeys is Art Jannery, the man who, with his ‘platter patter,”” spins away a large portion of the day. Art is such an avid rec- ord fan himself that Mrs. Art even complains that her hus- band thinks more of his records than he does of his children. | also visited the office of Mr. George Stimpson, Certified Public Accountant. With the competent assistance of his general secretary and bookkeeper, Miss Betty Brady, George keeps the financial records of many of the town's businesses and he states that they are all in excellent financial condition. A new and welcome development in Millbury is the Mill- bury Medical Center. This clinic is run by Doctor Michael Holohan, who has done a wonderful job in raising health standards in town. Two of Dr. Holohan's nurses, Beverly Cofske and Elaine Ekstrom, say that while many people are careless about their health, the general health of the towns- people of Millbury is good. Miss Phyllis Lowe is head librarian at the Millbury Public Library, where she and her twenty-five assistants lend out hundreds of books daily. Millbury now maintains one of the largest public libraries in Worcester County. Just outside the business district is the town’s largest ser- vice station. This station is owned and operated by Mr. Bob Collette, another of Millbury's enterprising businessmen. Mr. Collette’s establishment is primarily a self-service gas station, but just in case the customer should have difficulty servicing his car, Bob has four capable girls who are ready at all times to help a customer at any one of the sixteen gas pumps. These four girls—Barbara Army, Ann McLaughlin, Joan Ruddy, and Doris Graves—are always happy to give a helping hand. Mr. Collette’s novel idea of using girls at the gasoline pumps was another first for him in Millbury. Bob also has two trained mechanics working for him. He always assures you that when the boys, Pete Taylor and Vernon Erickson, have finished repairing a car, the car will run like new again. Bob is almost never wrong. My last stop in this cross-section of the town of Millbury was a small, dusty shop, far removed from the rest of the business district. This was the studio and shop of the re- nowned painter, Joan Rice, the grand master of the art world. Because Miss Rice occupies herself with her painting the greater part of her time, she leaves the care of the shop in the hands of her business associate, Leonard Upgard. Mr. Upgard is an experienced dealer in works of art, and many of the world's most famous paintings, including those of Miss Rice, have passed in and out of his hands. Thus, | have reported my findings to you, and | hope that you will find them adequate. According to the informa- tion which | have compiled for you, | am of the opinion that the town of Millbury, Massachusetts, is enjoying a con- dition of economic equilibrium; and if it continues to progress at its present rate, it is fully assured of a very happy and prosperous future.

Add WMrel tLadress of elcome PARENTS, TEACHERS, CLASSMATES, and FRIENDS: Today we are gathered here to observe our Class Day exercises. This occasion marks the beginning of Commencement week, perhaps the most important week in our young lives, for this is the time that we are at a crossroad on life's way. We have completed our high school education. For some of us, this training is a preparation for college; but for most of us it is our last for- mal preparation for life itself. It is for these reasons that our high school days were so important, and, realizing this, we would like to thank, here and now, those who made this day possible for us. We thank our parents for the sacrifices they made for us and the encourage- ment and patience they showed us during our school years. We are very grateful to Mr. Beaton, our principal, and the faculty for the unselfish help and _ understanding they gave us during our high school days. But for this afternoon, we. shall forget the future with its uncertain- ties and its problems, and turn back the pages of our four years in Mill- bury High . . . years marked with carefree joy and happiness. It is only now that we are beginning to believe how true is that old saying, “School days are the happiest days of your life.’ We ask you to join us in re-living these years and re- membering the things that made them happy. And so, now it is my honor and great pleasure, on behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty, to welcome you to these, our Class Day exercises. RICHARD F. HAMILTON OMISSIONS AND CORRECTIONS One day as | was walking down a busy street in Wash- ington, D. C., | saw a large crowd gathered in front of one of the buildings. One of the men in the crowd told me they were waiting for a glimpse of a famous criminal lawyer, who had just won another case. | was just about to continue down the street when the mate, Norman Joslin. We recognized each other at once, and spent the next few hours discussing the good old times at Millbury High School. When we parted company, | knew that at least one of my classmates had attained success. DAVID H. ANDERSON, Esq. door opened and, to my surprise, out walked my old class- CLASS SONG Words by: GLORIA ADAMS BEVERLY COFSKE Millbury High School, time for parting Is calling us away from you. Now the crossroads loom before us And we're feeling sad and blue. Through the years we will remember Every June and each September, Filled with memories sweet and tender Of the days that we once knew. Dear old Millbury High, As the years go by, We will breathe a sigh Thinking of you ... and classmates true. x PEARL ETHIER Alma Mater, Class of ‘50 Is bidding you a fond farewell. We are leaving though not knowing What the future will foretell. Each our separate ways we're taking, Our careers are in the making, And our soreful hearts are aching As the time has come to go.

Joan Rice During our four years in high school, the Class of 1950 News. ’ Pearl Ethier kept the poetry coming, writing has been well represented on the staff of the Reflector, much of it herself. Lois LeClaire and Vera Jo Carlson which has been published on the average of four times were our artists and cartoonists. David Matson took care a year. Joan Rice and Lois Glover were assistant editors as juniors, and moved up to co-editors as seniors. Richard Hamilton kept us supplied with jokes and humor, while his pal, Michael Holohan, managed the gossip column. Virginia Mogren very capably handled the ‘Alumni section’’ and Carol Toto wrote the ‘School of boys’ sports and Barbara Vayo wrote up the girls’ sports. The business staff was composed of Robert Dunn and Richard Bertrand, and the production staff of Stanley Rosenblad, Paul Lundin and Bruce Brown. The staff of the Reflector and all members of the senior class wish to thank Miss Walsh and Mr. Kenneally for their co-operation in making our magazine a success.

BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club of Millbury High School, or- ganized October 20, 1949, has held many inform- ative meetings and has experienced much pleasure under the leadership of Mr. Richard Kenary. The elected officers are as follows: President, William Schunmann; Vice-President, Kathleen Mc- Laughlin; Secretary, June Foy; Treasurer, Marji Shaw. Successful indeed has been this Biology Club, for much knowledge was gained by our visit to the Worcester Natural History Museum. In addition to numerous experiments of different types and oral biological topics, we also viewed some inter- testing motion pictures which helped us to realize the importance of biology and its principles in our life. Composed of sixteen members, the Biology Club wishes to extend a greeting to the clubs of follow- ing years and to express our thanks to Mr. Kenary for his guidance and patient co-operation.

SCIENCE CLUB The first meeting of the Science Club was called on October the 13th, and ever since the club mem- bers have been hard at work. The club sessions have seen and heard experiments on such varied subjects as color, light, radio, atomic energy, and others just as interesting. The club officers for 1949-50 were: President, Richard Hamilton; Vice-President, Norman Joslin; and Secretary-Treasurer, David Anderson. The Science Club members wish to thank Mr. McGinn for the help and co-operation he has pro- vided throughout the year. The 49-50 Science Club has had a very successful year, and we sincerely hope that all the future Science Clubs have the same good fortune. DAVID H.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Barbara Dunn; Vice- President, Joyce Lavallee; Secretary, Shirley Wray; and Treasurer, Ann Schunman. The club's activities were planned every sec- ond week by a committee composed of four or five members. They provided different types of entertainment ranging from quiz programs to full-length plays done in French. These programs helped each member to understand the French language more fully. Les Cavaliers Francais have enjoyed a very prosperous year and want to wish the best of luck to Miss Brown and all future members of the French Club. SHIRLEY WRAY Cheerleaders We cheerleaders — Carol Murphy, Ellen Cullina, Betty Welcom, Shirley Wray, Lois Mogren, Shirley Salmonsen, Betty Vayo, and Captain Bernadette Foster—have done our best to cheer for the football and basketball teams of Millbury High School. During the season, practice was held three times each week in the high school gym as we co-operated in an effort to create many new cheers. We have had a very successful year under the capable supervision of Di- First Row, left to right: Shirley Salmonsen, Betty Vayo, Ellen Cullina, Betty Welcom, Bernadette Foster, rectors Mr. Lacouture and Mrs. Ham- Carol Murphy, Shirley Wray, Lois Mogren.

BERNADETTE FOSTER Just as Goodbye seems such a small word in leaving our classmates and school days behind, so are the words, “Thank you,’’ in comparison to the great effort and time given to the making of our school orchestra by both Miss Bowe and Mr. Beaton. It would be a great task if we were to try to express our deep appreciation for the patience and time which was spent in organizing it. To those that are left behind for more fun-filled days at Millbury High, we can only say, “We'll certainly miss traveling to other schools to present our programs; we'll miss the days after school when we practiced; and we'll miss the excitement and ORCHESTRA AND TALENT GROUP—First Row, left to right: Eileen Molt, Barbara Mazzeo, sighs of relief when our talents were received with Sharlene Fortin, Carolyn Wainwright, Carol Toto, Barbara Toto, Vida Vartanian.

CAROL TOTO Baseball Mr. Roach called the first baseball practice session on April 3 for all candidates who were interested. This session was rained out and practice con- tinued the following day. Sixty-one candidates reported, and the seniors among them were as follows: Charles Hamilton, Fred Holland, Richard Hamilton, Bob Blanchard, Bob Dunn, Mike Holohan, and Captain Foster Rainville. We will open our schedule against Uxbridge High School on May 2. Under Mr. Roach's capable supervision, we are looking forward to having a successful season.

The Town Hall wouldn't be repaired in time for us to play. In the latter part of January, Mr. Roach, the coach, called us into Room I, and told us that because of the Clark Tournament we would have a team in order to retain our place in the tournament for future years. We practiced in the gym for a week, and then Mr. Roach picked the team. It consisted of ten players: Bob Langway, Lonnie May, William Taylor, Bob Pear- son, Ronald Larson, Hudson Matson, Donald LeClair, Dick Hamilton, Ken Webster, and Bob Blanchard. We then went to different schools to scrimmage their teams. We did fairly well considering that the other teams had played all year. The Friday before the tournament we played Hol- den High School, and we were defeated 54 to 372. The following Tuesday we went to the Tournament to play Uxbridge High School, and came out of that game victorious with a score of 25 to 22. Then on Thursday we went into the Clark Gym again to play Holden High in the semi-finals. The next day the papers said, ‘The Cinderella boys did it again by a score of 30 to 27. Saturday was the big night when we would play in the finals against the Blackstone Valley Champions from Grafton. The Grafton team took an early lead and won by a score of 63 to 23. The team that was just going to keep its place did a very surprising job. That was a short but good sea- son for the “Red Devils’ from Millbury High School. ROBERT BLANCHARD Barbara Vayo.

On reporting for football practice in late August, the mere thirty-five candi- dates did not appear to have the po- tentiality of a winning team. But as the season progressed, the sincerity and eagerness of the players, along with the invaluable coaching of Mr. Roach, proved to be the desired combination for a successful campaign.

After suffering its worst de- feat in a number of years, Millbury bounced back with confidence and en- thusiasm to win its last two games with flying colors. The highlight of the year came on Thanksgiving Day morning when Mill- bury defeated its strongest rival, North- bridge High School, by a 25 to 0 count. Again, Captain Paletta paced Mill- bury’s attack by personally three touchdowns. The score was the largest margin of victory for Millbury scoring in their ten-game series with North- A cs belchn bee Field Hockey In the fall when Mrs. Hamilton sounded the call for hockey candi- dates, seven of our senior girls re- sponded. They were Gloria Adams, Barbara Army, Janice Army, Betty Brady, Pearl Couture, Bernadette Foster and Barbara Vayo. Betty Brady was elected captain. Eight games were scheduled for the season, those being with Holden, Auburn, Shrewsbury, and Hopedale. At the close of the season our rec- ord was two wins, two defeats and four scoreless ties. We, the senior girls, wish to thank Mrs. Hamilton for her patience and effort while working with us, and we also want to wish her the very, very best of luck with her future teams. BETTY BRADY bridge. That game climaxed the high school football days for eight seniors, David Anderson, James Bengtson, Rob- ert Blanchard, Charles Hamilton, Rich- ard Hamilton, Robert Hagstrom, Foster Rainville, and Captain Joseph Paletta. We wish to thank Mr. Roach and his able assistant, Mr. O'Leary, for the long hours they spent in training us and we would like them to know that the lessons we learned in good sports- manship and teamwork will always re- main with us in the years to come.
