SHEA Superintendent of Schools STEPHEN BEATON Principal of High School Words by Carolyn Wainwright When you come to the end of your high school days, And you reminisce with the gang , Of the days of fun at the games and plays, And the ''good old'' songs you sang. With the parties, dances and proms so faire With our class no-one can compare. May the years bring joys and pleasures too, To the Class of Fifty-two. Tune -- A Perfect Day As the day draws nigh when we all must part, And each separate road we will go, May we have great faith and a perfect Start. For the future's all ours now, we know. As we face our lives with a hopeful heart, And the promise of days to come, May we ne'er forget all our friends so Toue, In the Class of Fifty-two.

NARCOTICS AND YOUTH As the psychological result of a disagreeable experience, there often arises in man the desire for an “escape” or a getting away from the problems of life. At the conclusion of World War II, just such an escape, in the form of the teen-age drug menace, arose, At this time, with the mar- ket flooded with illicit opium from war-torn countries of Asia and with the minds of the youth of America also flooded with fears for the future, the organized vice rings took advantage of the unsettled times and the anxiety of our young people and began to push the sale of narcotics to teen-agers. As a result, in many large cities, the health and federal narcotics officials gradually began to receive word of scandals from school officials and also from be- wildered, worried parents who often learned of the addic- tion of their children from the tell-tale hypodermic marks on the forearms of the habitual users. There came an in- crease in petty theft and other forms of juvenile delin- quency. It is possible that those happenings also were a direct result of the drug menace, The presentinflux of dope addicts is not anentirely new experience for the American people. After World War I, the dope problem also became serious, but the facts were not so highly publicized. This post-World War I increase reached its peak in 1930, after the stock market crash, In that year there were 4,962 arrests under the Federal Nar- cotics act as against 3,247 arrestsin the peak yearof 1950 in the post-World War II boom, Through a policy of education of the public,the federal narcotics officials have succeeded in acquainting the youth of ournation with the dangers and noxious effects of drugs. Extensive interest is centered on television asa method of presenting factual cases to the public. Recently, however, facts have been released which prove that the narcotics addiction boom has substantially sub- sided among teen-agers. Many of the dope peddlers are no longer operating because of new laws which make long sentences mandatory, The most noteworthy of these laws is the Boggs.Act whichincreases the sentence of a peddler with every conviction, In fact, one of the dirtiest of the heroin peddlers told a federal narcotics bureau agent that the rackethad got too hot for him,so he puthis money into another illegal business before his arrest. Last summer, there was a long waiting list for beds in the Public Health Service hospitals in Lexington, Kentucky and Fort Worth, Texas both of which treat addicts. A re- centcount showed 150 empty beds. Narcotics officials also report a very striking decrease in the number of teen-agers who seek treatment or who are arrested, Public health officials report only 98 patients under the age of 21 at Lex- ington, while last year there were 35ljuveniles admitted there. But the reasons behind this desire for escape---this need of a sanctuary by the youth of America have been only partially oevercom by the untiring efforts of the authorities in charge, There is, however, an answer, A normal, settled, civil- ized world, free from the worries and fears of war is al- most a guarantee of a permanent preventative. And it seems as though the teen-agers of America are begging the leaders of the world to remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Jean Shea US FANCIES Ithas been said that achild will take upa twig and call it a king. It is true that childrenspend much of their time in the magic world of make-believe. But donot think that this wonderful power is limited to youngsters, Is not imagi- nation one of the greatest thingsin all the world? It takes us away from our fartoo routine lives, lets us escape from the monotony of everyday living into a world of mystery and romance, It was imagination which gave us America! Vikings of old dreamed of a free country while roving the high seas; a young man, standing at the harbor of Genoa, thought about a land where abused, freedom-seeking people could flee. It was this idea in the mind of Columbus which led to the discovery of America, Thus, today is the result of the visions of yesterday, and tomorrow will be the out- come of the fancies of today. Scientists who are constantly engrossed in th e com- position of the moon and stars, who ponder over the mys- tery of life, asking themselves, Where does it come from? Where does it go? --these men work in the unknown, To succeed, they must have imagination, Did you ever gaze at a cloud, seeing in it first a face, than an animal, and still again an object? If so, you are duplicating one of the famous experiments carried on in the psychology depart- ment, The person taking the test looks not at clouds, but at ink blots, A drop of ink pinched into a fold of paper makes queer silhouettes, Why do they look like pictures? Just your imagination. What are pictures, books poems, and music if they do not stirthe imagination within us? We listen with wonder to the Messiah, and feel the power and grandeur surge in our very souls; we read Dickens’ TALE OF TWO CITIES and find ourselves back in another age; we gaze upon Raphael's MADONNA and its spirituality reaches out to us, The mystery story that thrills us, the picture on the wall that grips the heart, the book that stirs the mind- what are they but examples of imagination working in us; They carry the mind to far off places and remote times. In almost any circumstance, however, imagination which gets results is necessary. The fancies which enabled Edison to give the world an electric light represent imagi- nation brought into control, and made to work to a useful end, If we are puzzled about where to get wheels for a scooter, and suddenly think of taking them off an old rol- ler skate, we are using the same type of imagination, Science, discovery, art, literature-in fact, all progress- past and future, depends on man's imagination. We come into this world, Wordsworth once said, “trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home . As con- vention closes in, we often lose our proximity to God's protectiveness. But the powerof imagination to shape our destinies is strong; its ability to bring us joy and security is infinite beyond words. Remember, “he is rich, who knowing little, has a great imagination-he is poor, who, knowing much, has none , Vida Vartanian TWO WONDER DRUGS PENICILLIN AND STREPTOMYCIN Two of the most potent life-saving medicines known to science today are penicillin and strepto- mycin. The discovery of and story concerning these wonder drugs is as challenging and intriguing as any trip into the unknown; the end results are startling as well as satisfying. Credit for uncovering and isolating penicillin goes to Doctor Alexander Fleming. The miraculous co- incidences that took place in his experiments are truly amazing. When a culture dish containing bac- teria became contaminated with a mold, Doctor Fleming was led to investigate the coincident death of the bacteria. But, and note this carefully, had Sir Alexander been working in an ultra-modern, air- conditioned laboratory, nicely sealed off from out- side air, penicillin never would have materialized-- not, at least, in the way that it did. For Sir Alexander's laboratory was the old fashion- edsort where you have to open a window to get ven- tillation. He did open a window and a mold happen- ed to floatin. Now this mold might have been any one of hundreds of species. But it happened to be penicillium notatum.” It couldalso have landed on one of several culture plates, although the chances were much greater that it would land on the floor, furniture, or elsewhere. But the mold happened to select a culture plate containing a certain variety of staphylococcus. Here again was pure chance, for if the plate had contained streptococci, or any of a hundred other bacteria that it might well have held, the phenomenon that aroused Sir Alexander's interest would not have occurred. Thus from the discoverer's own story, the isolation of penicillin began with a string of chance occurrences that probably would not be repeated in the same way for years. The story of streptomycin is equally as fascinating as that of penicillin. Doctor Waksman and his col- leagues at the New Jersey Experiment Station in New Brunswick are credited with the discovery and isola- tion of streptomycin. The fungus from which it is derivedis harder to grow than the mold that produces penicillin. Therefore mass production methods can- not be directly applied to streptomycin. One test on a two-year-old boy ended in the almost miraculous recovery of the boy. He had been paralyzed and blinded by tuberculous meningitis and all hope of recovery had been aban- doned. His recovery, however, was achieved by the use of a combination of the new wonder drug, strepto- mycin, and anold, abandoned TB remedy, tuberculin. The child’s sightreturned, and within less than a year he was a fat, active, healthy -looking boy with a head of normal size, a growing vocabulary, and what ap- peared to be normal intelligence. Thereason for the combined treatments’ effectiveness seems to be that the streptomycin takes care of the germs while the tuberculin kills the tuberculous tissue thus preventing further spread of the disease. For convenience, scientists had classified the great majority of the common disease germs into two main groups, depending upon what color they took when stained with certain test dyes. Those that stained blue were called gram positive; others staining red were gram negative. Most of the germs that cause boils, wound infec- tions, and pneumonia were knownto be gram positive and it was against these germs that penicillin was most powerful. It was also effective againsta few of the gram-negative microbes, but not all. For the host of gram negative germs, such as those that cause ty- phoid fever, dysentery, and other diseases, treatment with streptomycin proved successful. Just what does this increase in the availability of these two life savers mean? It means that for many people who are deathly ill with pneumonia and wound infections, penicillinsaves the day. And for other in- dividuals, those who are stricken with typhoid fever, dysentery, or, perhaps, tuberculosis, streptomycin may open new roads to health. And so it is that science forges ahead. Longevity is the keynote now. Whether or not we enjoy those eighty or ninety years whichscience may soon prom- ise us is our problem. Facing the intricacies in our social, political, economic, religious, and moral surroundings with equanimity will help. But even if our era goes down in history as a time of disintegra- tion, one fact will refute complete condemnation of 20th century men. Science has continued and will continue to alleviate mankind of physical and mental suffering. Marion Anderson THOU CANST NOT THEN BE FALSE One of the gravest weaknesses of our apathetic society is the fact that we, as its members, are either unable or unwilling to be honest with ourselves. It is admittedly difficult to evaluate one's own character or personality. But by following Polonius’ advice to Laertes, his son, we canstart to analyse and to perfect ourselves. He said: To thine ownself be true.... Let us apply this declaration to ourselves as future civic leaders. During the past four years, we have matured considerably. Most of us have established certain ideals concerning behavior. It will be up to us now, to abide by our beliefs. Let us maintain an open mind. Consideration of and for the other fellow's thoughts is essential in any good community. Let us give credit where credit is due; let us never shirk from shouldering blame when the fault is ours. But above all, let us not fear re- sponsibility. Where corruption rearsits ugly neck, let us strike it down with forcefulness and without fear. It is up to us to bring about a renewal of faith in man’s individual initiative. A coddled society is a weak one. Let us prove by our hard work at college, at home, or in the industrial or business world, that American boys and girls canbe strong,if they believe in themselves and their ideals. Who wants to be a take-everything-give-nothing citizen? We must give our time, our energy and our clear, unprejudiced thinking to civic enterprise if we want a vital, democratic society. Voting is a privilege honored by the person who faces problems squarely. How can anyone who re- fuses to go to the polls on election day, destructively criticize the government? This is a clear-cut example of intellectual dishonesty. If only we would allow our conscience to be our guide, our world might be a safer and better place in which to live. Conscience distinguishes between good and evil. We have no moral rightto squelch it. Most of us have now ascertained the value of a formal education. In school our teachers have fre- quently stemmed the flow of wrong ideas and have substituted sound principles. But we must not forget that we are being educated every day, every hour, every minute. It is up to us from now on to use ed- cation, in whatever form it comes, wisely and con- structively. We owe this duty to society. It is im- portant because Polonius says in conclusion: To thine ownself be true and it must follow as the night the day... Thou canst not then be false to any man.” Carol Higginbottom CLASS HISTORY Meekly we entered the high school on that first September morning in 1948, knowing we would face a tormenting year as freshmen. The seniors just brushed us aside with obvious scorn. Within a month, we had our first class meeting. The following officers were elected: Hudson Matson, President; Victor Army, Vice-President; Marjorie Cullina, Secretary; Barbara Dunn, Treasurer. Since we were lowly freshmen, there weren't many of us in the clubs or other school activities. However, we were represented by Carolyn Wainwright on the REFLECTOR staff and as a member of the orchestra. We also boasted of Richard Ekstrom's ability asan accordian playerin the orchestra, Shirley Wray and Lois Mogren were chosen to represent the spirit of our class on the cheering squad, We were fairly well represented on the various teams, Eight of the boys went out for football: William McGrath, Charles Carlstrom, Philip Schroeder, George Joslin, Wesley Greene, Robert Langway, Taylor Don- nelly and Hudson Matson, The baseball team also had a goodrepresentation from our class: Hudson Mat- son, Paul Army, Taylor Donnelly, Laurence May, Raymond Hanson and Charles Carlstrom, As for the girls Shirley Wray, as assistant manager, Beverly Maranda, Eleanor A, White, Mary Green, Jean Bernier, Janice Shedd, and Lois Mogren were our gifts to the hockey team. Then came the Christmas vacation. We didn't enjoy it much because our thoughts were centered on one thing--our first mid-year exams, We had heard much about them and the fear of flunking kept us tossing at night. They were held dur ing the last part of January and we were glad to have them over. We lived, too. The rest of the year was peaceful for the freshmen; summer vacation was soon at our door. We returned in the fall to our sophomore year, feeling a little superior. At least we weren't freshmen anymore. We elected the same class officers. We were better represented in the many school activities this year. Fay Hahn and Carolyn Wainwright were our donations to the REFLECTOR staff. The talent groupconsisted of five sophomores: Elizabeth Dunn, Fay Hahn, Vida Vartanian, Marion Anderson and Carolyn Wainwright, The French and Biology Clubs boasted of sophomores as officers. In the Biology Club, William Schunmann was president and Kathleen McLaughlin, vice-president. In the French Club, Barbara Dunn was president and Shirley Wray, secretary. Turning to sports, Hudson Matson, Victor Army, Laurence May and Wesley Greene were on the baseball team. Due to condemnation of the town hall, we weren't able to have a basketbail team. However, a team was chosen to play in the Clark Tournament with Hudson Matson, Laurence May, Robert Langway and Robert Pearson our class contribution, Clara O'Neill was selected for the hockey team and the foot- ball team still consisted of many boys from our class. We got through our second mid-year exams much more easily. We were beginning to learn how much the seniors liked to tease the lower classmen. In April we chose-a committee to select our class rings. Those elected were: Hudson Matson, Victor Army, Marjorie Cullina, Shirley Wray, and Barbara Dunn. Soon school ended and vacation time peeked around the corner, At last, our junior year was at hand, and we could finally call ourselves upper classmen. The year opened with election of class officers. We re-elected: Hudson Matson, President; Victor Army, Vice-President: Marjorie Cullina, Secretary; Barbara Dunn, Treasurer. There were now many from our class participating in extra-curricular activities. Hudson Matson, Ch arles Peloquin, Charles Carlstrom, Richard Ekstrom, Victor Army, William May, Raymond Hanson, and Joseph Combs displayed the junior skill on the football team. We had a good group of girlson the hockey team. The basketball players were the same from our class, with Charles Carlstrom, and Jerry Herman being the only additions. Now that the townhall was ready, a girls’ basketball team was organized. On the team were Fay Hahn and Jean Shea. The same four boys were on the baseball team along with Russell Erickson, William McGrath, and Charles Carlstrom. Soon after the turn of the year, Horace Mann awards were given, Jean Shea and Marion Anderson re- ceived the pins. Following this, the announcement was made that Marjorie Cullina was chosen to go to Girls’ State in Bridgewater. Shortly afterward, our thoughts turned to the junior prom.Thefollowing committees were selected, Or- chestra: Lois Mogren, Chairman, Shirley Wray, Elizabeth Dunn, and Charles Peloquin, Invitation; Mar- jorie Cullina, Chairman, Carol Higginbottom, Jean Bernier, Patricia Hill and Barbara Dunn. Decorating: Clara O'Neill, Chairman, Marion Anderson, Joyce David, Charles Carlstrom and William Schunmann. The prom was a great success, The decorating committee deserved special congratulations. Having done -sO well with our prom, we looked forward to a glorious senior year, We entered The Big Year with the usual air of sophistication. This was what we had been waiting for. However, being seniors, we had much work to do. We settled down determined to make the year a success- ful one. The class officers remained the same. Jean Shea was president of the Science Club, with Jean Bernier as vice-president and Lois Mogren, Sec- . retary-treasurer, Jean Shea was also president of the French Club, and Jean Bernier was treasurer of the Biology Club. Lois Mogren and Shirley Wray became captains of the cheering squad, and Hudson Matson was elected football captain, Laurence May was chosen captain of the basketball team with Victor Army representing the seniors as captain of the baseball squad, As for the girls, Clara O'Neill was captain of the hockey team, and Jean Shea captain of the basketball team. Within a few months, a picture committee was chosen, The committee, Shirley Wray, Jean Shea, Mar- jorie Cullina, Charles Carlstrom and Barbara Dunn, again chose Mercer Studios, Our pictures were taken during Christmas vacation. In late November, the senior class put on a play, The Little Dog Laughed”. Jean Shea, Charles Carl- strom, Vida Vartanian, Charles Peloquin, and Fay Hahn did fine work and the play was a howling success. Soon after the beginning of the year, Horace Mann awards were given. Jean Shea and Marion Anderson were repeats and Barbara Dunn's name was added to the group. Soon preparations were started for the senior prom, The following committees were chosen. Decorating: Joyce Davis, Marion Anderson, and Charles Carlstrom, Invitation: Marjorie Cullina, chariman, Elaine McKie, Clara Graves, Patricia Hill, and Marion Deming. Orchestra; Lois Mogren, Chairman, Charles Peloquin,and Barbara Dunn, Ticket and Advertising Committee: Shirley Wray, Chairman, Janice Shedd, Jean Bernier, Fay Hahn, Jean Shea, and Vida Vartanian. After settling all prom questions, we concertrated upon the selection of a D. A, R. Pilgrim. Jean Shea was chosen to go to Boston, Then it was time to discuss the Aftermath. Robert Pearson was chosen editor-in-chief, with Jean Shea, Charles Carlstrom, Vida Vartanian, and Marion Anderson being appointed assistant editors. An advertising committee was chosen; it was composed of: Charles Carlstrom, Donald Ducharme, Hudson Matson, Fay Hahn and Barbara Dunn. These seniors did a truly fine joy. In mid March, Richard LaBreck and Fay Hahn were elected by the student body to represent the school in Boston on Good Government Day. Mr. Beaton then announced the honor pupils who were to write essays and, shortly thereafter, try out for the honor of being graduation speakers. The speakers recited essays in the assembly hall. The honor pupils consisted of: Marion Anderson, June Bleau, Marjorie Cullina, Barbara Dunn, Carol Higginbottom, Jane Lonergan, Kathleen McLaughlin, Jean Shea, Janice Shedd, and Vida Vartanian. Of these ten, the judges chose Marion Anderson, Carol Higginbottom, Jean Shea and Vida Vartanian to represent the group as grad- uation speakers. Next we chose Class Day speakers: Prophet, Joyce Davis; Statistician, Marjorie Cullina; Giver of Gifts, Lois Mogren; Testator; Fay Hahn; Omissions and Corrections, Charles Carlstrom; Historian, Barbara Dunn, We then voted on a Motto Committee which included: Shirley Wray, Chairman; Wesley Greene, Clara Graves, Hudson Matson, Carolyn Wainwright, Shortly before vacation time, the talent group gave its show in the high school assembly hall. The seniors were well represented, Fay Hahn and Vida Vartanian formed a comedy team, Marion Anderson played the piano and Carolyn Wainwright was mistress of ceremonies and also sang. And now everything finally comes to a climax on graduation day.--The proms, the assemblies, the games and even mid-years--allof these we shall miss, Yes, it is time for everyone to say good-bye to his school days and schoolmates and go into the world to face the many hardships which he hardly knew existed, Often we shall feel nostalgia; nevertheless we shall march happily on into what we hope will someday be a better world. We are proud of our class and we know we'll do our share toward helping our communities and our country, BARBARA DUNN 18 CLASS PROPHECY As I boarded the “Mars Express in the year of 1972, I thought with nostalgia of graduation day twenty years ago. I found myself wondering where my classmates of '52 were and what position in life fate had allotted each, Suddenly my thoughts were sliced, as zoom! the rocket ship leaped into the atmosphere, Well, that was a good take off, rang out a reassuring feminine voice. I turned and was amazed to see a woman working the controls, Well, if it isn't Janice Shedd! A woman space pilot. My, times certainly have changed, I exclaim- ed, I've been a space cadettess for eight years now, Janice informed me. Sitting back stiffly in my seat, I gazed about and recognized ten other '52ers: Nicholas Patella, Johnny Ray's successor- The Gasping Groan ; Patricia Hill, the lady wrestler; Walter Fisette, who told me he had, for ten years, been hunting a rare Martian bird (which incidentally, was rumored to lay atomic bombs); Jean Bernier, the bowling champion of Mars; Richard Ekstrom, the author of a famous murder story: Slaugh- tering the English Language ; Dot Lindsay,a prominent bookkeeping teacher; Robert Langway, the tree surgeon; Marion Anderson, the Thomas Edison of the Planet Age ; Clara Graves, the smiling undertaker; and Jackie Rock, the stewardess. After a lengthy conversation of reminiscing, we finally landed at the Mars spaceport. As I stepped off the ship, a voice asked, Is this your first trip to Mars? Yes, I replied, shaking. Then I noticed that the inquirer looked familiar, Duke Ducharme, what on Mars are you doing up here? I'm the proprietor of the “Pulchritudinous Restaurant, he answered, Inquiring further, Ilearned that Louie LaBreck was now posing for Atomic Smiles toothpaste ads. Billy May was a racer of the planet skiways. Taylor Donnelly was the owner of a horse ranch called I like Horses!! Carolyn Wainwright wrote an advice-to-the-lovelom column called They're only Inhuman. Frannie Lebel was the owner of a chain of A. P. grocery stores. Betty Dunn was the director of a danc- ing school. As it was getting late, I hailed a rocket cab. Guess who was driving! John Gasco, While exchang- ing fond memories, we drove to the Hotel Mars. The doorman, Victor Army, attired in his spacesuit, carried my trunks into the hotel lobby. Feeling tired, Isat down in what seemed to be a reasonable tac- simile of a chair and started leafing through a magazine. I was astonished to see so many of my friends. Margie Cullina modeled a huge glass hat with a propeller on top--appropriate for short trips, The hat was created by Shirley Wray, the Mars-renowned designer. Faye Hahn and Vida Vartanian were hits on the stratavision station WACKY, And what do you know-there were poems written by Bob Pearson. Also pictures of Billy (Oh, you Kid!) McGrath, the boxing champ, and Wes Green, Jerry Lewis successor, Lois Mogren was shown with her original Polaris Poodle hairdo, I got up and walked toward the desk-clerk, He was none other than Russell Erickson. Russ gave me the keys to my room, and as I started up the stairs, the newsboy in the lobby shouted-- Extra, extra, read all about it--Huddy Matson beaten up by girlfriend's youngest sister. He is recovering at the Painfulaches Hospital, Oh, I thought, how horrible. What did he do to deserve this?. . .Then I remembered Huddy. When I awoke the next morning, I dressed and decided that shopping would brighten my weekend on Mars, Walking down the street, I noticed a billboard which read as follows; Laurence May, the great orator speaks tonight at half past fourteen on the subject: “The Fine Art of Wowing the Women,” Upon entering a department store, I strolled over to the perfume counter only torecognize instantly Ray Hanson. Ray, what are you doing behind the perfume counter? Oh, I'm a demonstrator of Gail Army's newest perfume, “Catch ‘em or Kill 'em. A few drops will catch ‘em, a few more will kill 'em, Paul Army's my assistant, you know; he's a perfume smeller,” In the store I met many more '52 graduates. Dick Sanders was the store detective. Eleanor A. White sold space shoes (no shoes--just space). Ela ine McKie sold helicopters on the roof, while Kathleen Mc- Laughlin taught people how to drive them, Patricia Sweet was behind the Hydrogen Bubble Gum” coun- ter. Marie Doe demonstrated a new makeup base that definitely would not wear off, It came in a handy kit (chisel included), Jane Lonergan sold miniature atomic bombs for the little prankster.” Mary Green and Frances Winiarski modeled steel-wool apparel, which was guaranteed wrinkle-proof. Clara O'Neill operated the elevator. She said she had had a lot of ups and downs in her life, I might as well take in a movie, Ithought to myself as I left the store. The picture playing was: The Man from Earth, a terrifying horror picture starring Charlie (The Great Lover) Peloquin, Carol Higgin- bottom, Joe Coombs, and the horrible man from Earth, The usher, Francis Mitchell, escorted me to a seat. As I sat down, a familiar voice whispered, Oh, hello there, and I found beside me, Phil Schroeder. The first feature was the newsreel. Item one was a courtroom scene where James (Pass the Corn) Mee- han was being tried for stealing jokes. Then I witnessed the demonstration of a new discovery which pre- vented tooth decay through the use of nitric acid. Lo and behold, the inventor, smiling toothlessly, turned out to be Jerry Herman, Next was a speech by the Chief of Police, Jean Shea. The Marion Deming and Beverly Maranda did a new jitterbug, The Martian Kick , Last came June Bleau and Jean Malo singing the hit tune, I'm in Space When I Look at You, Cause You're So Blank.” When the feature ended, I started back to the hotel to prepare for my journey back to Earth. Nearing my destination, I heard the thrilling sound of a brass band. Soon a glorious parade came into view, and to my surprise the marjorette leading the parade was Barbara Dunn. And what do you know! -following - Barbara were several more of my old classmates. Eleanor Hicks marched holding a sign which read: Eleanor Hick, the A-1 butcher; clever with the cleaver,” Kathleen (Earthquake) McGrath blew vibrating sounds on the tuba, while Eva Mongilio played her harmonica, Then a shiny Space Ford approached, and a smiling man waved to the cheering crowd. On the car was a sign which read: Vote for William Schun- mann, thecrafty politician.” Miss Mars followed on a lavishly decorated float. My gosh,” I exclaimed, why, that's Eleanor P. White. It sure is, obligingly remarked a policeman, I turned, and there stood George Joslin. Last but not least came the crew members of the rocket ship, Swish, Donald Holland and Charlie Carlstrom, As the parade passed, so passed the last of my friends and classmates, An empty loneliness crept within me as I asked myself this question; Where would I meet my friends twenty years from now--in 1992?

Signed by all present: Witnesses: Jerry Lewis William Shakespeare My Friend Irma By the hand of their clerk, Evalona F, Hahn ADDRESS OF WELCOME Parents, teachers, classmates and friends: It is with g reat pleasure that the class of nineteen hundred fifty-two welcomes youto our Class Day exercises. In the future we shall probably have few opportunities to assemble as a group; therefore this day has been set aside for us to recall some of the experiences--activities--joys that have made our four years at Millbury High School memorable. We realize that this day would not have been possible without the sacrifices of our parents, who have given up many comforts to make our high school life happy and rewarding. To our parents we offer our most sincere appreciation, We wish also to thank our principal and the members of the faculty who encouraged and guided us along the way. With these thoughts foremost in mind, I, in behalf of the class of nineteen hundred fifty-two, invite you to join us in observing our Class Day exercises. Hudson Matson OMISSIONS AND CORRECTIONS It was a humid day in the summer of 1970, and I was on my way home from work, from New York to Albany. The train that I usually took was an hour late so I purchased a LOOK magazine to read while I was waiting. I was finishing a very interesting editorial, when my eye caughtthe name of the author. It was written by one of the LOOK magazine editorial writers, by the name of Joyce Davis. The name seemed very familiar, I tried to remember whether or not I had ever known her. Then I remein- bered, She was one of my classmates in high school. There she was, working just a few blocks from where I was waiting. There was plenty of time, so I decided to go to see her. I entered the LOOK Publishing Company and inquired at the information desk for Miss Joyce Davis. The clerk at the desk told me to enter the door on the left. I opened the doorand walked in, There behind a large desk sat Joyce. : Wehad a long talk in which she told me howshe had become one of the most important writers of the publication, She told me how she startedin asmall newspaper in Springfield, Massachusetts. She had written several editorials and was offered a position by LOOK-the job she now held. The time went by fast; my train was due. I left Joyce feeling as lonely as I had felt when graduating from high school. As I arrived at the station, my train was just pulling in, I boarded the train and headed for home. Marjorie Cullina (Margie) Address: South Oxford Road Expression: Have you seen Huddy? Pastime: Collecting pictures of Huddy Favorite Song: Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet!” Ambition: To be an old maid and retire at sixty-five.
