Reflector 4; Glee Club l, 2; Motto Committee 4, TRADE NOT AID Trade Not Aid is a new slogan spreading and gain- ing general acceptance all over Europe. A stage of the rehabilitation of Europe has been reached where government authorities, diplomats, leaders in Congress, international agencies, National foundations, and numerous private organizations are vigorously debat- ing the wisdom of continuing foreign aid. This handout was an admitted necessity, but for only a limited period. It is now costing American taxpayers $6,000,000,000 a year without bringing adequate returns either at home or abroad. The concensus of opinion gathered from open dis- cussion everywhere is clearly favorable to a speedy taper- ing off of Marshall Plan aid and steering the recipient countries on to the road to self support. Instead of pro- testing against curtailment of American free aid, the nations receiving it, notably England, are voicing the same idea. They want to foot their own bills, but they are aware of the fact that they have not the money nor the means to do it. With envious eyes they have been watching the in- dustrial machinery in the United States running at high speed on the road to plenty, and they are now saying to themselves, Go thou and do likewise. They are begin- ning to realize that given the same production tools, the same know-how, the sameefficient management, and the same incentives, they can do as well as the American people are doing. First of all they need foreign capital and are looking mainly to the United States. How can the countries in Western Europe attract American private capital? Billions of American dollars are already invested in American subsidies or branch plants. Germany had at one time one hundred and sixty-two American manufacturing concerns, Italy had seventeen, France had fifty-eight, Great Britian had seventy-three. Hundreds of American manufacturers who have made great success in their own Country with gigantic plant expansions and have been instrumental in building up the rich Ame rican way of life are now the hope of the under-developed countries overseas. Private American capital is available and is reported to stand ready to take over as the Marshall Plan aid passes out. Manufacturers, financiers, and statesmen in and out of Congress are advocating it and various governments are preparing forit by modifying their regulations govern- ing such investments. American capital cannot be talked into going into other countries. But if given the proper atmosphere, it will flow freely to whatever places offer the best oppor- tunities for profit. American businessmen are fully cap- able of seeking outsuch opportunities as well as develop- ing them. Our own foreign policy under President Eisenhower and Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, may be depended upon to give emphasis to the need for reassuring safe- guards abroad for the American private capital invested in friendly nations, President Eisenhower said; “Our foreign policy will recognize the importance of profitable and equitable world trade -- doing whatever the government properly can to encourage the flow of private American investment abroad, This involves, as a serious and explicit purpose of our foreign policy, the encouragement of a hospitable climate for such investment in foreign nations.” Carole Dobie 15 I BELIEVE WHAT DOES YOUR LIFE MEAN? WHY ARE YOU ALIVE? Our world is full of hate, doubt, fear, starvation. We hear tales of intolerance and persecution and cries of inevitable war. Some are caught in this quicksand of confusion and hopelessness. They find that they merely exist -- mechanically going about routine tasks, aware only of the dying, not living world around them, They can see no outward beauty because their hearts have lost the beauty of faith. WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT FAITH? Instinctively we are desirous for belief. We need a way to follow, a rea- son for being, a knowledge that there is something great- er It has been said that “Faith makes the uplook good, the outlook bright, the inlook favorable and the future glorious. In our troubled times and troubled lives faith gives us courage, strength, and longing for the new day. We are patient in ourdiscouragements and worries -- for there is promise! Each day can have its beauty if we only open our eyes. In dark depressing moments of tur- moil and threat, it is possible to find peace within our- selves. God, nature, and the world help us through our trials. Sometimes our worries seem too much for us. When this happens -- walk out under the sky, look up at its great span, and think of all the people under that sky, -- of their lives and problems ------- your worries will decrease in size. When you're alone and feel there is no one who is interested or cares-- think again. There is someone with you in whom you may confide and believe, -- who will never leave you. HAVE TRUST! There is JOY in LIVING, We are surrounded by things bright and beautiful and gay. We need only to be aware. Out of doors there is the sky, trees, and miracle of life as expressed in a leaf or butterfly. There's music in the wind, water, in God's creatures. We find beauty in the warmth of a smile, the happiness of friendship, the rapture of a song. Our lives are enriched in the giving of love and understanding to those in need. Some of the smallest things that we do make life worth while. The song I BELIEVE is a meaningful proclamation of faith. In these simple words we find the strength and courage of the heart. I BELIEVE for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows. That somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows. For everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way. I BELIEVE above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard. That someone in the great somewhere hears every word. Every time I hear a new-born baby cry, -- or touch a leaf, -- or see the sky, thenI know why I BELIEVE! If you have this faith and belief your eyes will never dim, your heart will never chill to the beauty and joy of living. What is even greater --- you'll know why you are alive. Shirley Salmonsen FAITH Faith is a word which is difficult to define. If you were to look it up ina dictionary you would find many different meanings. I am not going to list these defini- tions butI am going to attempt to tell you what it means to me. In my opinion, faith is something extremely strong-- something we all must have. It is a belief in ourselves, our friends, and especially in God. Yet, there is more to faith than simply believing. It includes trusting and res- pecting. We must have faith in ourselves and in our abilities if we are to accomplish anything, and faith in God is an extremely important factor in attaining this faith in our- selves. Let's stop and think what might be the result if all of us lost our faith in God, our fellow men, and ourselves, We would be unable to accomplish the various tasks that would come before us. We would be living in a state of fear and distrust. All during our school years, whether we realize it or not, we have faith in the knowledge of our teachers-- faith that what they teach is right. We have faith in our parents when we go to them with our problems. We be- lieve that they will tell us the truth and do their best to help us. Conditions in the United States today are re latively good as compared with those of other countries, but we must have an extremely strong faith in ourselves and in God if we are to stand up for our rights and maintain the standards that we have here. In this time of war we often become discouraged and upset, especially when our loved ones are called into ser- vice. But if we could only have the faith that is needed to bring comfort we would get along much easier and with much less worry. Besides the attributes I have already mentioned, faith is loyalty and confidence. We must be loyal to our friends and have confidence in them. We would have a very dif- ficult life if we didn't have someone that we could feel confident was loyal to us. It would be an unhappy and lonely life we would lead if we did not have friends who could be trusted and relied upon to trust us. Faith in God is the answer to many of our problems. The realization that we have someone to be relied upon at any time results in a feeling of contentment. Here is Someone in Whom we can have infinite trust. In conclusion I would like torepeat a bible verse which I believe fully explains the meaning of faith. It is He- brews 11:1 -- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” AN ADDITION TO THE FAMILY Whenever there is a new addition to a family, prep- arations must be made; because before the expected rel- ative finally arrives, attitudes may be conflicting. Pro- visions must be made for the complete adjustment of the new arrival, for example; if a new baby is coming, food, clothing, and shelter must be prepared, In the case of inlaws, respect, on the part of all parties concerned, is needed in order to maintain a certainamount of harmony. These situations we all recognize and take for granted as family occurrences; but the same conditions exist within the government family as illustrated in the question of 16 statehood. Uncle Sam is at the moment in the hazardous position of greeting a new niece by the name of Hawaii. As a result, preparations are in the making. For the most part, friendly relations have existed between the United States and Hawaii since 1800, and these relations have continued to grow with the influx of missionaries, mer- chants, and industrialists. Trading with the island of Hawaii resulted in occasion- al United States protection to prevent desertion, mutinies, and violence, and to secure debts due American citizens, When, in 1851, the Hawaiian government wanted an- nexation to the United States, the American government refused, but, because of the rising Americaninterest in Hawaii's sugar industry, military surveillance continued, After numerous annexation advances by independent Ha- waii, an act of 1900 admitted the Republic as a territory and gave its citizens the rights and privileges of Amer- icans, The Paradise of the Pacific” has, at the present — only territorial American rights, that is, although it can help to nominate a United States President, its people can not vote for one. However, upon entering the great American family as a full-fledged member, the natives of Hawaii will be able to cast their votes for the future United States leaders. These votes may help turn elec- tions, while Hawaiian votes in Congress may help pass bills that, until then, lay dormant. Relationships, asa result, will be strengthened by a stronger bond of patri- otism. Hawaii, as a geographical map will show, is made up of many islands, eight of which are inhabited. The is- lands, which lie about two thousand miles off the coast of San Francisco, are creditably known as “the crossroad of the Pacific, because of their central location in the commercial shipping routes to America, the Orient, Australia, and the Philippines. Hawaii's importance was recognized in the war with Japan and it is now even more important in the Korean War. Oahu, one of the islands, is an important naval station and military outpost of the United States. Mid- way Islands, near by, have a United States Marine Post and a cable relay station, The Islands, although once inhabited by fierce natives under a highly developed fedual system, are now pop- ulated with learned men, for education rates high in Ha- waii, This fact is exemplified by the University at Ho- nolulu. The native population has recently been ona steady downgrade as a result of intermarriage between the natives and the Japanese, Philippinos, Americans, Portu- guese, and Chinese. Thus, Hawaii is like many a state in the Union, in the light that it encompasses many different peoples. Hawaii's present government is made up of a Senate of fifteen members and a House of Representatives of thirty members; it has a governor, secretaries, and judges ap- pointed by the President of the United States, The cities of Hawaii resemble those found in the con- tinental states, in that they have skyscrapers, business districts, and modern transportation. So, the beautiful fruit-growing islands of the Crossroad and Paradise of the Pacific, with their multitude of easy going people, many of whom are highly educated and of a modern point of view, will if they enter Uncle Sam's family, supple- ment the various and delightful advantages of America. Attitudes have not been conflicting on the subject of Hawaii's annexation. Relationships have been established for over a century and preparations for citizenship have been developing since the first time Hawaii experienced American influence many years ago. Thus, Uncle Sam is about to greet a new, full-fledged niece to his large family. Only time can now evaluate the importance of this step if it is undertaken by our government, Ann Russell CLASS OF 1954........JUNIORS 17 CLASS HISTORY To whom it may concern: We have now reached the end of our high school days and tomorrow we shall meet the world. But today let's look back at the history we left our high school, On the first Wednesday in September of 1949, we departed on a new adventure, high school. At first we were rather timid, but after the newness wore off we buckled down and started learn- ing. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers. Those elected were: Donald Mor- rison, President; Shirley Salmonsen, Vice President; Joan Cullina, Secretary; and Carole Dobie, Treasurer. Later in the month, Betty Vayo and Shirley Salmonsen were chosen as our cheer- leaders. After establishing ourselves firmer in school, football came into the spotlight with Mike Revelli making the sole showing for our class. In field hockey, Carole Dobie, Betty Vayo, Shirley Salmonsen, Blanche Bergeron, Arlene Gamache, Nancy Cofske and Doris Gaulin supported the team. Basketball came into the picture as soon as football had ended, but due to the repair work being done in the Town Hall, our season was limited to intramural games, In February, we hit the dread of the school year--mid-years, We expected the worst, but we found that they weren't impossible and we passed them. With mid- years under our belts we progressed into spring and the baseball season, Ray Jacob- son and Frank Mazzeo answered the call for our class. After the baseball season had ended, summer rolled around bringing with it a much awaited vacation, Fall arrived again and school opened with us as sophomores and no longer the “wee ones,” of the school, The class officers were re-elected and many of us joined the various clubs, On the Reflector Staffwere Joan Cullina, Blanche Bergeron, Marilyn Fink, Shirley Salmonsen, Arlene Gamache and Eileen Molt. Football season came with Tom Hamiltonand Joe Sweet out trying forour class, Jean Boliver, Carole Dobie, Shirley Salmonsen, Betty Vayo, Arlene Gamache and Blanche Bergeron went out for field hockey. The basketball team was supported by Joe McCluskey, Mike Revelli, Frank Mazzeo and Ray Jacobson. The girls' basketball team had Ann Russell, Betty Vayo, Arlene Gamache, Jean Boli- ver, Carole Dobie, Shirley Salmonsen, Carole Spencer and Shirley Hayes up-holding our class on the team. After mid-years had been overcome, it was time to choose our rings, Donald Nelson, Frank Mazzeo, Mike Revelli, Natalie Gardner, Joan Cullina, Louise Stone and Donald Morrison made up the committee. Spring arrived bringing with it the baseball season. The team was supported by Ray Jacobson, Mike Revelli and Frank Mazzeo. Once more summer came closing school on our sophomore year. September 1951 came and it became a reality--we were finally upper classmen. The class officers were: Donald Morrison, President; Shirley Salmonsen, Vice President; Joan Cullina, Secretary; and Ray Jacobson, Treasurer, Football brought us a good feeling with Joe Sweet, Mike Revelli, Frank Mazzeo, Tom Ham- ilton and Ray Jacobson showing us what they could do. On the field hockey team were Jean Boliver, Carole Dobie, Betty Vayo, Shirley Salmonsen, Arlene Gamache, Barbara Kimmens, and Shirley Hayes. Basketball season was again upon us with Joe McCluskey, Mike Revelli, Frank Mazzeo and Ray Jacobson onthe team. On the girls' basketball team were Ann Russell, Judy Nettelbladt, Betty Vayo, Arlene Gamache, Jean Boliver, Carole Dobie and Shirley Hayes. Ruth Blanchard became the manager of this team. 18 At a special assembly, Mr. Shea announced that Shirley Salmonsen had received a Horace Mann emblem, After mid-years we stopped worrying and watched spring bring in the baseball season, This year we were most elated when we were the champions of the Blackstone Valley League with Frank Mazzeo, Ray Jacobson and Mike Revelli supporting the team, June came bringing with it the Junior Prom. The committee was selected as follows: Janet Anderson, John Greenwood, Judy Nettelbladt, Eileen Molt, Terry Sweeney, Arthur Maynard, Dean Whittier, Donald Morrison, Bertha Salois, Joan Revane, Carole Dobie, Blanche Bergeron, Norma Green, Joyce Lavallee, Donald Nelson, Shirley Salmonsen, Barbara Kimmens and Pat Taylor. These same people were called on the following year to handle the Senior Prom because of the wonderful job they did on this one. Summer came to a close and we were now seniors, We were now the top ones, but as we soo n found out, there was much work with being a senior, Our class officers were re-elected again. This year we were most active in our school activi- ties; the cheerleaders became co-captains of the cheering squad; Tom Hamilton was captain of the football team; Carole Dobie was the captain of the field hockey team; Ray Jacobson was captain of both the basketball and baseball teams; Betty Vayo and Shirley Salmonsen were co- captains of the girls’ basketball team; Eileen Molt and Shirley Salmonsen were co-editors of the Reflector. In October, a committee was chosen to select the class photographer. Tom Hamilton, Betty Vayo, Shirley Salmonsen, Joan Cullina, Frank Mazzeo and Donald Nelsonselected Laporte Studios, Shirley Salmonsen was named the D,A.R, representative of our class, being selected on the basis of leadership, dependability, good fellowship and trustworthiness. Donald Morrison was selected editor-in-chief of the Aftermath. Betty Vayo and Carole Dobie were his Associate Editors. The Assistant Editors were Ann Nelson and Louise Stone, Frank Mazzeo was business manager and his committee was John Greenwood, Joe McCluskey, Ray Chevalier, Beverly Sharron and Ann Russell, Shortly after this, Mike Revelli was elected by the whole student body to represent us in Boston at the State House on Good Government Day. In late February, Mr. Beaton announced that the honor students who had an average of 85 or better were to prepare essays to be recited and judged so that the graduation speakers could be chosen from them. The candidates were Ruth Blanchard, Joan Cullina, Shirley Salmonsen, Carole Dobie, Pauline Upham, Ann Russell, Louise Stone, Ann Nelson, Joan Revane, Eileen Molt, Bever- ly Sharron, Donald Morrison and Dean Whittier. Those chosen were Carole Dobie, Shirley Salmon- sen, Ann Russell and Louise Stone. Class Day speakers were then chosen as follows: Prophet, Joan Revane; Statistican, Ann Nel- son; Giver of Gifts, Arlene Gamache; Testator, Judy Nettelbladt; Omissions and Corrections, Frank Mazzeo; Historian, Dean Whittier. I n the middle of April, we made the long march from the old high school on Waters Street to this new high school. Thus, we earned the honor of being the first class to graduate from the Millbury Memorial High School. At last, our activities came to an end and our four years of high school came to a close. We began to wonder how it was going to be outinthe world. Yes, this is when we go our parting ways. So, I say to whoever should read this history, Don't forget us, the class of °53, Yours truly, Dean Whittier 19 CLASS PROPHECY Train No. 56 loading on track 2 for New York and Washington, sounded over the P.A. System, I quickly gathered my luggage together and mounted the platform. You see, I'm a roving reporter for the alumni section of the Reflector. A shrill voice called out, New York and Washington! Step lively! It was none other than John Davidson of the class of '53. I was pushed along with the crowd before I had a chance to talk with him, however. I took a seat beside a person with a monstrous black hat, Peering under the hat I found the person to be Shirley Salmonsen, a leading hat designer headed for her store in New York, Upon arrival in New York where I was to spend the night, I went to the Taft Hotel. The desk clerk was Jean Murray. We talked for a while remembering all the fun we had at M.H.S. From my room I called room service to send my luggage up. The voice on the telephone was very familiar. No wonder, it was Lucille Cournoyer, switchboard operator at the hotel. On my way out of the hotel for a view of the city,1I noticed a flower shop in the lobby where I bought some violets from Ann Russell. Standing near the rear of the lobby was Joe Sweet, house detective. In the afternoon I visited the United Nations where I saw Carole Spencer as the United States delegate and Donald Morrison as chief speaker. Louise Stone was the head of the office staff at the U.N. At the National Broadcasting Company I saw Ruth Carlstrom busily conducting people on a tour of the studio. I joined the sightseeing group. As we passed the control room I saw John Greenwood manipulating the controls to three programs, all at once, I learned from Ruth that Edward Davis, a scientist, was perfecting an NBC television broadcast over the telephone, Jean Boliver could be seen on a television screen rehearsing for her operatic debut. In the office of NBC, Eleanor Sheehan was a bookkeeper, Nathalie Gardner, a stenographer, and Norma Green, a speed typist. That evening I went to Radio City Music Hall to see the Rockettes. Out of nowhere came a pink dancing bunny which I later learned from stage manager, Jim Little, was Shirley Hayes. Early Tuesday morning I took a taxi to Grand Central Station. To my surprise the driver was John Braney who was driving for the Take A Chance Taxi Company.” On the train to Washing- ton I met Ray Jacobson heading south for spring practice with the Red Sox, For my two day visit in Washington I was to stay at the Chastleton Hotel operated by Richard Chevalier. In the lobby of the hotel was a privately run drug store managed by John Lindsay. Across the hall a big sign read “Learn to Dance Now. I peered in. There was Nancy Cofske, one of America's leading dance instructors. Tuesday evening I had dinner at the elite Casino Royal owned and operated by Robert Norman, World famous Polka Pete” Chunis and his orchestra with Blanche Bergeron as trumpeter were featured there, Arlene (Irma) Gamache was starring there as a comedienne singing I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded, Early the next morning! boarded a sightseeing bus. All was quiet when the driver called out, How about a game of regular? Of course, this was Pat Benner Taylor. Before we had gone very far, the driver noticed the bus was not running just right, but after a check up at the garage of Marilyn Heck and Roy Lemieux it was soon in perfect running condition. At our first stop we saw Tom Hamilton as the guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Next, we stopped at the U.S. Treasury where Carole Dobie was hard at work as the first woman Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Assisting her were accountants Ann Nelson and Bob Baker. At the capitol building we visited the Senate in session. There I saw Marilyn Fink, who had been filibustering for 34 hours. The House of Representatives was the scene of a heated argument between Joyce Lavallee and Francis Bis as to women's rights, At the Supreme Court I met Elaine Army and Helen Croteau who are court stenographers. From them! learned that Marilyn Conner and Beverly Collette were traveling the country work- ing for the 1.B.M. Company. On Thursday the tour continued, First stop was the United States Mint where Michael Revelli was in charge of operations, Keeping an account of how much money was made is Bertha Salois. Also in the office were Ruth Salo and Doris Gualin who have to in- spect each shipment of money that passes through the gate. At the White House a fellow re- porter, Pauline Upham, was seen leaving after an interview with the First Lady, Barbara Kim- mens, Our last stop was at Smithsonian Institute where the car driven by Dick Barnett who broke all speed records was preserved, Also there was a series of the research work done by Dean Whittier on forest conservation. Thursday afternoon I boarded the Norfolk for a cruise down Chesapeake Bay, The captain of the boat, Lord Donald Nelson, was busy giving instructions to navymen, Arthur Maynard and Edward Kusy. After a delicious supper served by head waiter, Robert Renauld, I went into the recreation room where Janet Anderson, ship stewardess, was conducting a game of Bingo, It was there that I met Eileen Molt, now the famed author of An Omelet on Hamlet.” Friday morning the boat docked at Virginia. There I visited Williamsburg, a town preserved incolonial tradition, where Mary Hart and William Taillfer were running the College of William and Mary. I found Terrence Sweeney managing the huge Williamsburg A. P. Once again on the boat headed back to Washington,!I saw Ray Lemieux, a famed water skier, skimming along on Chesapeake Bay, I boarded the train back to New York. On the train I accidently bumped into a girl in uni- form, To my surprise it was Priscilla Bebo and with her was Beverly Sharron, both members of the Women's Marine Corps. In New York I decided to go on a shopping spree. In Macy's whom should I see modeling the latest fashions designed by Betty Vayo, but Judy Nettelbladt, Not far away a big sign read, Big Savings, Buy Now. I investigated and found that Ray Chevalier had branched outin his furniture business as far as New York, A modern store with the heading Hep Men's Apparel Proprietor-- Joseph McCluskey stood out above the rest, I learned from Joe that he had appealed to New York City to have them change the name Times Square to Times Crossing so that there would be no squares near his store. Oh! But to have such a lovely trip meeting my classmates spoiled by getting a toothache, Suddenly I saw a huge sign--Frank A. Mazzeo, Dentist. Inside the office, I was met by his as- sistant, Ruth Blanchard, After a few minutes, I felt fine again; my tooth was out, From New York I decided to come home by plane. I was very delighted and surprised to find Joan Cullina as an air line stewardess and Paul Lebel as a pilot on the plane I boarded. I returned home tired, exhausted, and toothless, but still I was happy for the alumni section of the Reflector would be sparkling with news.

Just two blocks from where I have my Fifth Avenue office. I decided that I must investigate. I hurried down to the street and crossed to the next block where I turned the corner and saw Joan Re- vane just coming out of her own little hat shop. We had dinner together and talked forhours about the great times we had at dear old Millbury High. After our fifth cup of coffee we left and were happy at spending the day with a as aria tenota'!!5 3.1 To Arlene Gamache Our class clown We give these weights To hold her down.
