CLASS FLOWER: Blue and White Carnations 23 Woman- The Gackboue of remerntea A great philosopher once said, To be born a woman is to have achieved success. How comforting, then, to be a woman! Woman will always play an important role in this world. In the beginning, of course, she didn't have the privileges she has today. Back in the Stone Age, Woman was clubbed over the head, dragged by Man to his cave, and kept there under threat of being cudgeled. In the Indian camp, she did the cooking, cu red the skins, sharpened the tomahawks, wove baskets, and did other menial duties assigned to her, while Man went off to spend the day hunting and fishing, a necessary but pleasurable task. The colonial woman must have been a slave to house - hold duties; one always hears of the Pilgrim fathers-why no mention of the Pilgrim mothers? After all, they were there! Yes, but not helping in the actual construction of America. They merely fed and clothed the Men who did the building. Simple diurnal duties apparently do not go down on the records, In 1836 when Manfinally decided to push westward to the Pacific, Woman went with him, in the form of two stalwart wives, Narcissa Whitman and Eliza Spaulding. Did they receive recognition for having been the first women to attempt such a daring feat? They ARE men- tioned in the history books, but, at the time, this accom- plishment didn't raise their stock one iota. Even when education became available to her sons, Mother still remained quietly at home doing the same daily chores and tending the youngsters, With the arrival of the Negro slaves, the Industrial Revolution, and the improved farming methods in Ameri- ca, Mother happily relinquished her duties and became a lady of leisure. That, of course, is wh ere Man made a grave error-allowing Woman to be idle. She managed to find something with which to occupy herself. Unfortunate - ly for Man, she decided she had been ignored, mal-treated and definitely relegated toa much too inconsequential position, Something had to be done. Backed by the Women of history, the Suffragettes-such as Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, SusanB. Anthony, Carrie Nation, and others -Woman began tocome into her own. What had begun as a glowing spark, had been fanned and scattered throughout the nation until the once smouldering ashes burst into flame. With the winning of the right to vote, Woman knew she had won, not only the battle, but also her rightful place in society. We have had many great women who have each con- tributed something essential to Mankind -Courage, Faith, the will to live! Could the paralyzed have been given the courage to attempt walking without Sister Kenny? Could the blind have attempted to read Braille without Helen Keller's shining example? Where would the world of medicine be without Marie Curie's discovery of radium, and Nursing without Florence Nightingale? Women of to- day are even in politics-Senator Caraway, the first lady Senator; Daisy Harriman, the first woman ambassador; and Representative Edith Nourse Rodgers-having started the endless chain of women politicians, Who knows...to this list of firsts may one day be added MISS JANE Q. PUBLIC, first woman President... Joyce Kent a Changing Word April, 1952. Michigan's Jackson Prison explodes into riot. “Inmates of Trenton's prison rise in revolt. These headlines were repeated twenty-four times in 24 two years. What is the cause that brought about this sud - den series of uprisings in our so-called modern penal in- stitutions ? The first bad riot was in Michigan's Jackson Prison. The main causes of this riot, as determined by the Ameri- can Prison Associations Committee were: inadequate financial support, substandard personnel, idleness, over- crowding, and political corruption. The staff of the average prison today is far from ade- quate, Under-paid and untrained guards are in charge of all types of prisoners, including murderers and the crim- inally insane. The medical department is far too small and often times does not employ a psychiatrist, although most institutions require the service of several. Idleness is one of the major causes of riots and is physically, mentally, and morally harmful. As long as prisoners sit in their cells 20 to 22 hours a day, there will be riots. These men should be put to work to develop practical skills in which they are qualified. This would help them to make an easier, quicker, and better adjust- ment to free society at the time of their release. It is difficult to develop a program of trades, however, as business terms this as Competition with free enterprise.” Overcrowding is another pressing problem, Convicts are crowded into small cells and in many institutions they must sleep on cotsin the corridors. Each cell should have ample room, fresh air, good lighting, and sanitary facilities. A division of the different types of prisoners is greatly needed but because of the lack of space it is practically impossible. Homicidal maniacs and the like are inter- mingling with those who are expected to be reformed easily. One of the worst evils is the county jail. Because of oversight or lack of room, people guilty of misde- meanors and those awaiting trial mix freely with the hardened criminal making this institution a school of crime. Our county jails should be divided so that special sections are alloted for retaining different types of pris- oners, The influence of politics in the supervision of prisons isover-whelming. Politicians obtain places on the prison staffs for themselves or for friends. Most of them have had little or no training in the science of penology. If all the correctional officers and staff were under the Civil Service system, they would be able to keep their jobs as long as they were efficient. Politicians could not dominate and rule the procedure of our prisons. This practice has been in effect in the California prison sys - tem and has been proven to be a wise method. Inadequate funds is one of the largest barriers in prison reform. In many states it is the cause of the problems I have previously stated. Until public indifference ceases, overcrowding, idleness, and political administration will continue behind the high walls. It is up to us to change these deplorable conditions. Remember, the prisoner of today may be your neigh- bor tomorrow! Jean Purdie The Protection Of Human Kighte In the Declaration of Independence of these United States of America, you will recall these thrilling lines: That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi- ness. We all know the story of those men and women of Concord and Lexington. We all know the famous lines by Emerson: By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flags to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world. We areall familiar with the bronze statue of the Minute - man on the Lexington Common, expressing so perfectly the spirit that resulted eventually in this democracy that we enjoy. We sense the strength of the man--a combin- ationof Godliness, physical strength, moral courage, and a great determination to be a free individual. Today, that same spirit must be the determining factor to bring peace to this world. Through the years, we have had to fight more than once to maintain these freedoms that the Pioneers estab- lished for us. Through our history we have always had the problem of giving to every American, as speedily as possible, the fruits of the privileges to enjoy our guaran- tees of equal rights to every American citizen. Some of our people are still denied certain rights that others enjoy, and many true Americans are deeply con- cerned about this situation and have already done much to improve it. The years will bring still more. This coun- try of ours isn't perfect by any means, but this country is a democracy, and one of its blessings, as contrasted with Communism, for example, is that when enough people decide that something is wrong with their scheme of living, they have the power to right that wrong. Many, many times in our history, Americans have done just that. Again and again, they have worked in the spirit of fairness, to secure a larger share for everybody of the things that make that life more meaningful, more comfort- able, better worth living. Free public schools, the secret ballot, the abolition of slavery, protective legislation for women in industry, child labor laws, provision for the poor and the aged, give us some idea of what has been accomplished. These laws show whatour people have done time after time to ma ke sure that human rights, privileges, and opportunities are protected. That's de- mocracy's way. It's a good way. Out of World War II came the birth of United Nations with Article 55 of the United Nations Charter calling for the universal observance of human rights without dis- tinction as to race, sex, language, or religion, As a full partner in the United Nations, our country now again finds itself fighting for human rights for free men, and, though we may not live to see it, the tools forged by the early settlers, though in different form, are still leading the way to democracy for all people. Worcester, our neighboring city, is still digging itself out from the ravages of a vicious tornado that swept to destruction everything that lay in its path. If we wish to know the relations between human rights and human res- ponsibilities, we have only to look around us and notice that the protection of human rights is tied closely with an equal emphasis on human responsibilities. As one man, the people of Worcester have rallied to the call for service: individuals, family units, city units, state units, federal units worked to meet their responsibilities for the common good. We need not look abroad for the importance of human relations; we have the meaning in our own surroundings, We are on the threshold of the era that is to bear the brunt of meeting the alien forces that threaten our ideals. Crafty, strong foes are working feverishly to undermine allthose values built up with sweat, bloodshed, and tears to make this Democracy. We must not fail, we cannot fail, we will not fail. To us, the graduates of Millbury Memorial High School, class of nineteen hundred fifty-four, the message is clear: let us resolve now to take our place of respon- sibility in this community, alert not only to the rights that have come to us through those who have fought for their establishment, but equally alert to meet our res- ponsibilities, to be active in our personal service that ensures the permanence of humanrights inour Democracy. Phyllis DeMatteo Auge Black NYacls The hammer came down onthe nailhead in one power- ful blow to drive it all the way into the wood. There! The chair was completed. As the brawny carpenter paused to inspect his creation, his attention was suddenly drawn to the little Boy playing near his work bench. The curly head bobbed around as if searching for something in the sawdust. Interested, the carpenter watched the child, and then suddenly his deep brown eyes filled with pain. The chubby hand had picked up a huge black nail! Deep lines cutacross the man's rugged face, the words he had heard many times in the temple whirled in his brain-- They Pierced My Hands and My Feet. The Child noticed the strange look on thecarpenter'siface and, struggling to His feet, turned with open arms to the man. Sunlight through the window fell upon the Boy and spread the shadow of a cross upon the floor. In one great sweeping motion, the arms of the carpenter lifted the Child and cradled Him against his powerful chest. Almost burying the little hands in his great fist, he pressed them to his heart. Chubby little hands that would someday stretch out upon a cross and be fastened thereto by huge black nails! Hands ready to forgive, would be crushed upon a cross by unrepenting souls! The man wished he had not learned the Prophecies so well. A simple story, yet how much it resembles our lives today. A carpenter, many years ago, watched his Child atplay and sadly forsawhis future. A father today watches his child at play with toy guns learning how to shoot and kill before he is even old enough to understand the true meaning of guns and killing. He watches him grow into manhood and sees him go off to war fighting for his life and the safety of his fellow men, And he wonders why this must be. Didn't that carpenter's Son, so many years ago, die on the cross to save man from sin and hell? Didn't that same Man say that we should all live like brothers--love our enemies as well as our friends? Then, why all this fighting and hating? Why? Because we aren't satisfied with what we have. We want more and in order to get this we must fight and kill others. Until we can live in peace with our neighbors, there will always be this fight- ing and continuous wars. That carpenter, so many years ago, suffered the loss of his Son who was crucified in order that men might live in peace. Why can't we be like that carpenter? He did not go through life hating the men who killed his Son and trying to get revenge by killing them himself. And why can't we be like his Son whose dying words on that cross were, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. If we could learn to live like them, loving and forgiving instead of hating, then there would be much less suffering in this world of ours today. How the great heart of Saint Joseph must have grieved, how it grieves today as mankind continues to crucify the innocent Jesus and denounce His great sacrifice! Is there no one to pull out the nails, no one to make reparation for the sins of impenitent souls? The powerful arms of Saint Joseph are reaching out to you and to me, toall who strive to follow Jesus, pleading with us to offer our prayers and our sacrifices for the salvation of sinners, Saint Joseph is always ready to help us in our needs, Now he asks us our help--our help to bring the world back to the foot of the Cross--to pull out the huge black nails! Janice Gagliardi History — (Hass of (934 We are now standing on the threshold of life. Soon we will take the vital step from the looking-glass world of to- day into the reality of tomorrow. Before we take this step let's take a backward glance to the year 1950, the month of September, when we were entering Millbury High School as lowly freshmen. During those first few days we were quite shy and, as the low-man on the totem pole, we had to bear the brunt of all teasing and practical joking. After the first few days, however, the newness wore off and we settled down to the business at hand. Our first class meeting was held for the purpose of choosing class officers. Elected were Radley Sheldrick, president; Joel Pic- ard, vice-president; Donald Belliveau, secretary; and Ronald Ethier, treasurer. Jean Purdie and Judith Theberge were chosen to represent the Class of '54 on the cheering squad. We were fairly well represented in the various sports. Donald Belliveau, Harold Frazier, Radley Sheldrick, and William Ashton represented our class on the football team. Our delegates to the basketball squad were Donald Belli- veau, Edward LeClaire,Charles Carlson, Radley Sheldrick, Walter Luikey, Arthur Bergeron, and Daniel Braney. On the baseball team were Harold Frazier, Donald Belliveau, and Ronald Ethier. Our class participants in girls‘ sports were Joan Raad, Mildred Norton, Carol Graves, Janet Markey, Shirley Carl- strom, and Janet Anderson on the hockey team; and Joan Raad, Nancy Stone, Patricia Langway, and Mildred Norton on the basketball team. As freshmen we were not very strongly represented in the social activities of the school. We were, however, able to boast of Arthur Rice and Judith Theberge as members of the REFLECTOR Staff, and five freshmen held positions in the Talent Group. They were Doris Benoit, Dolores LeMay, Joan Paille, Jean Purdie, and William Ashton. The first half of the year passed swiftly, and before we knew it Christmas vacation was upon us. We were all look- ing forward to this vacation but we were a little frightened by what lay before us, for we had heard strong remarks about mid-years and flunking. Fortunately we all pulled through and lived to tell about our first experience with these exains. The remainder of the year flew swiftly by and summer vacation was beckoning. Soon it was September and we were back in school again, one step higher on the ladder now; we were sophomores, As usual, we held our first class meeting for the purpose of electing class officers. The elections brought no change, however, for the same four were re-elected. Added to this year's football squad were Joel Picard, David Eaton, Amos Green, Roger Army, and Ronald Pierce. On the basketball team were Ronald Ethier, Walter Luikey, Eugene Graveline, Donald Belliveau, Jerald Rice, David Eaton, Arthur Bergeron, and Radley Sheldrick. Radley Sheldrick was added to the list of players from the Class of 1954 on the baseball team, On the girls‘ hockey team were Janet Markey and Mildred Norton. Patricia Langway, Mildred Norton, and Nancy Stone were our contributions to the basketball team. This year more members of the class were active in the various school organizations. Russell Brierly took Arthur Rice's position on the REFLECTOR Staff, and Norman Goldthwaite was also added to the staff. Janet Anderson, Joan Deming, and Arthur Rice united with the others from our class in the Talent Group, and many from our class were members of the Biology and French Clubs. Mid-years were taken with less worry this year, and once they were over, we began looking forward to the last half of the year. In the second half of the year a Dramatic Club was formed for the purpose of staging a school play. Those from our class, both actors and stage hands were, Radley Sheldrick, Donald Belliveau, David Eaton, William Cormier, Wal- ter Luikey, and Kenneth Higginbottom. In April Jean Purdie, Judith Theberge, Ronald Ethier, and Joel Picard were chosen as our Ring Committee. Soon school was over for the summer; we had reached the half-way mark of high school life. In September we came back to school with the realization that we were now juniors and upper-classmen. No longer were we to be looked down upon by the upper-classmen of years before. _ Once school had gotten under way class meetings were held, and we elected Radley Sheldrick, president; Joel Picard, vice-president; Ronald Ethier, secretary; and Arthur Bergeron, treasurer. On this year's football team were Donald Belliveau, Francis Sheehan, Richard Jette, Roger Army, Arthur Markey, Ronald Ethier, Stanley Graveline, David Eaton, William Cormier, Radley Sheldrick, Harold Frazier, Eugene Graveline, 26 and Amos Green. On the basketball team we had Arthur Bergeron, Ronald Ethier, Donald Belliveau, Jerald Rice, Rad- ley Sheldrick, Stanley Graveline, and David Eaton. Harold Frazier, Radley Sheldrick, Arthur Markey, Donald Belliveau, Ronald Ethier, and Kenneth Higginbottom were our delegates to the baseball team. In girls’ basketball we were represented by Patricia Langway, Mildred Norton, and Nancy Stone; and in hockey, by Janet Markey, Janet Anderson, Mildred Norton, and Carol Graves. During this year we were fortunate in having many members of our class on the staff of the REFLECTOR. Repre- senting us were Janet Anderson, Judith Theberge, Radley Sheldrick, Joan Deming, Nancy Stone, Ronald Woodward, Russell Brierly, Francis Sheehan, Robert Millette, Charles Carlson, David Eaton, and Joel Picard. Our class was also beginning to evidence a great deal of talent in the persons of Janet Anderson, Judith Theberge, Joan Paille, Doris Benoit, Joan Deming, Jean Purdie, Dolores LeMay. At a special assembly held later in the year, Nancy Stone and Alan Curtis were received into the Horace Mann Society. After pulling through the annual mid-year exams we held a class meeting to select our prom committees. Elected were Janet Anderson, Carol Berquist, Joan Raad, Patricia Langway, Nancy Grenier, Robert Millette, David Eaton, Joel Picard, Richard Jette, Donald Belliveau, Joan Paille, Dolores LeMay, Phyllis DeMatteo, Janice Gagliardi, Catherine Horgan, Carol Graves, Judith Theberge, Roland Chausse, Russell Brierly, and Alan Curtis. This committee made the prom so successful that they were re-elected the following year. In April of 1953 we made the march from the old high school to this wonderful, new building--the realization of a dream come true. Finally summer came, and for many of us the last summer vacation we were to have. In September of 1953 the dreamofa life time came true. We were seniors, seniors who had much work to get done before June. At ourclass meeting we re-elected the same class officers, and many in our class became leaders of the various organizations. Judith Theberge and Jean Purdie became co-captains of the cheerleaders; Harold Frazier was chosen captain of the football team, and Donald Belliveau captain of the basketball team with Ronald Ethier captain of the baseball team. Mildred Norton was made captain of the hockey team and, with Patricia Langway assisting as co-captain; she also became captain of the girls' basketball team. Nancy Stone and Ronald Woodward were chosen co-editors of the REFLECTOR. Harold Frazier was elected president of the newly organized Student Council with seniors Radley Sheldrick, David Eaton, Judith Theberge, and Nancy Stone also members, Seniors in the newly or- ganized band were Francis Sheehan, Russell Brierly, and Walter Luikey. Before the Christmas vacation a class meeting was held to choose the AFTERMATH committees. Radley Sheldrick was chosen editor-in-chief; Nancy Stone and Alan Curtis, associate editors; and Nancy Fjellman and Ronald Wood - ward, assistant editors, On the Photo Committee were Jean Purdie, Nancy Stone, Judith Theberge, William Cormier, and Charles Carlson. Harold Frazier was elected business manager with Arthur Rice, Walter Luikey, Janet Anderson, Patricia Langway, and Ronald Woodward assisting. Later in the year Nancy Stone was chosen D.A.R. representative, and Harold Frazier was elected to represent us at the State House on Good Government Day. Donald Belliveau and Ronald Ethier were chosen Telegram and Gazette all-stars for their commendable work in football. In March Mr, Beaton announced the names of the honor students and told them to prepare essays to be judged for graduation speeches. Of the elevenhonor students--Janet Anderson, Janice Gagliardi, Ann Briddon, Mary Gagliardi, Phyllis DeMatteo, Joyce Kent, Nancy Stone, Jean Purdie, Nancy Fjellman, Alan Curtis, and Ronald Woodward --four were chosen as speakers. Selected by the judges were Janice Gagliardi, Phyllis DeMatteo, Joyce Kent, and Jean Pur- die. In April a series of class meetings were held to choose Class Day speakers. Elected were Prophet, Janet Anderson; Statistician, Judith Theberge; Giver of Gifts, Doris Benoit; Testator, Patricia Langway; Omissions and Corrections, Charles Carlson; Historian, Ronald Woodward. It was in this’ year that the track team was reborn in Millbury High School after a rest of many years, Those repre- senting the spirit of '54 on the team were Radley Sheldrick, Donald Belliveau, Stanley Graveline, and William Ash- ton. In April of this year the four classes united in producing a school play. Those from our class assisting both on and off stage were David Eaton, Joyce Kent, Charles Carlson, Stanley Graveline, William Cormier, Kenneth Higginbot- tom, and Richard Jette. So end the four happiest years of our lives. Now we are prepared to step forward with faith in our hearts and a prayer on our lips that each member of the class may be as successful in the forthcoming years as he has been in the years past. Ronald Woodward 27 Cass Prophecy I tore the page off the calendar. Another month had passed by, and now the year was 1974. Twenty years ago 1 was graduating. That day still lingers in my memory. How I missed my classmates those first few years. What could they all be doing now? How was my old home town? It had been so long since I'd seen the United States, I turned on the television to forget my loneliness. Then I looked...1 looked twice. There on the screen was Alan Curtis. I could hear him sayi ng: Don't miss next week's exciting adventure of Pokey Pete, starring that great American cowboy, Richard Berg- strom. And please don't forget to remind your moms to buy that delicious candy, Chocolate Chumps, Until then, so long, pardners. I turned off the television. I knew that I had to go back to my old home town to see all my old chums. I didn't waste any time. I packed, ran to the airport, and bought a ticket for Millbury. I was soon on the plane, flying over the beautiful U.S.A. Then someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned, and, to my great surprise, there stood Mary Laino. Mary, what are you doing here? I exclaimed. I'm an airline hostess for Whee Airlines, she told me. It's great to see you, I said. I'm on my way to Millbury to see my old friends, She took me to the cockpit to meet the pilot and co-pilot. There sat Walter Luikey and Stephen Beaton. Walter had long since retired from the Navy, and Steve had returned from the Air Force. They told me that Arthur Rice was making a profession of that branch of the service and was the commander of BIG BOOM, the hydrogen submarine. As I walked back to my seat, I saw Yvette Boire and Mary Alice Ballard sitting at the rear of the cabin. Iwent down to talk to them and learned that they had just come from a great beef cattle auction. Both had married wealthy butchers, and each took a great deal of interest in her husband's work. Our first stop was at Washington, D.C. I had time to visit some of the great sites. One of them was the United Nations building. Through an acquaintance I learned that Joyce Kent was a translator for the French Ambassador, and Richard Jette was a translater for Joyce Kent. My acquaintance also told me that the great well-known advocate of teen-age suffrage, Radley Sheldrick, had succeeded in getting a constitutional amendment passed to give sixteen- year-olds the right to vote. I learned that Patricia Langway was a secretary of President Julius LaRosa and that Wil- liam Novick was one of his valets. Nancy Fjellman, Janet Dickie, Paul Hellstrom, and Wayne Goodell were book- keepers for the national government. I hurried back to the airport just in time to board the plane. Then 1 was off for New York. I had bought a news- paper to read during my travels. As I glanced through the pages my eyes caught a familiar name. The article read: Monsieur Robert Millette, the renowned French artist, will arrive in America to exhibit his famous painting, THE PINK LADY.” I turned the pages and read the sports page. Stanley Graveline, better known as ‘Gorgeous Moose will meet with his brother Eugene Graveline, better known as ‘'Groaning Tiger‘, in a stupendous wrestling match at Madison Round Garden. Another article read, Bill Ashton, champion aqua-ski jumper, broke the all-time record by jumping 1780 feet through the air. Harold Frazier and Ronald Ethier were playing professional football for the Rough Necks, On the next page was a picture of Bill Cormier. The caption said that he, the great composer, was giving a piano concert to raise funds for charity. Among the other performers were Joan Paille and Lois Hagberg. The plane finally landed in New York, and it would not leave for an hour. I would have time to get some pizza. I stopped at the nearest diner, which was called the Three Meatballs Diner. Hi, Janet, someone called. I looked about and saw, to my amazement, Janice and Mary Gagliardi. It can't be! Ireplied. But it was, With Phyllis Dematteo they were in partnership in this diner. I didn't see Phyllis that day, for she was out buying tomatoes and peppers. After I had eaten, I walked over to the Yankee Stadium. The Yankees had just won the game against the Boston Red Sox. The spectators were coming out, and I happened to overhear a couple of excited little boys chattering. I learned that Donald Belliveau was a third baseman for the Yankees and had just hit the winning home run, As I started back for the airport a billboard caught my eye. At the top of a huge building was the advertisement, Which twin has the Toni? The two familiar faces were none other than those of Ronald and Lawrence Pierce. 28 I finally arrived at the airport as a big crowd gathered around four charming ladies in white mink shawls. I be- came curious and pushed my way through the people. I heard ateen-ager shouting, It's the Nightin'-Gale Quartet. Let's get their autographs. I stood on the tip of my toes and peered over the crowd. Why if it isn't Judy Theberge and Jean Purdie! Oh, and there's Doris Benoit and Joan Deming.” Before I could get closer to them they we're whisked away in a huge limousine. I decided to call home to let my family know that I would arrive soon. I dialed Operator. Number pu-lease. That voice sounds familiar, I thought. Give me Millbury 0201, I answered. Millbury! replied the operator. Why I used to live in that town! You did? I asked. Why yes, of course--Carol--Carol Bergquist, I'd recognize your voice anywhere. What are you doing now? Do you know who this is? That's right. Oh, you're a telephone operator for American Bell and Bell. We could not talk very long, so she gave me my number. I told my family that I would arrive at Millbury Airport about 9:30 that night, and then I ran to catch my plane. Aboard the plane I met Daniel Braney, Joel Picard, Art Bergeron, Amos Green, Roland Chausse, Kenny Higgin- bottom, Francis May, Art Markey, and Eugene Carl. They were all working in the Coast Guard for Uncle Sam, and they were going home on furlough. Soon we were flying over Worcester County. Then something went wrong. The engines started to sputter, and the plane began to tilt. We were going to crash. Over the loud speaker we were told to fasten our safety belts for a crash landing. We went down and down. Then I felt a big jolt, which was followed by a huge scraping and crashing. Sirens of ambulances and fire engines screamed through the air. Some of the passengers were taken out on stretchers. A nurse came up to me to see if I was all right. I said, Yes, and then I realized that the nurse was none other than Mildred Norton. She was so busy we didn't have time to talk. The plane was aflame. Near the ambulances I spied Joan Raad. I ran overto her and found out than she had started her nurse's training about a year after I left the States. The Red Cross was there to give a helping hand, and I learned that Nancy Stone was chairman of that organization. Ronald Beaudoin, Philip LeBoeuf, Russell Brierly, and Francis Sheehan came riding up ina big, red fire truck. They grabbed the hose and ran to put out the fire. A lady reporter came up to me to get a story. I'm from the COUNTY JOURNAL, she began. It was Ann Briddon. She told me that Ronald Woodward was the editor of the JOURNAL. Finally everything was brought under control. Luckily no one had been killed. I arrived home too late to visit any friends. I would wait until morning. I was out bright and early the next day. I looked about to see a great change in the town, It had grown to the enormous size of one million inhabitants. As I strolled along the street, I met Catherine Horgan. She was walkin g a beautiful, black poodle. Yes, a poor, poor old beggar died and left me a great fortune. I had given him a hand-out when everyone else had refused him. Come to find out he was a very wealthy man, she told me. I've been living in ease ever since. I'm taking little Boopsie to see the vet--that's David Eaton. He has a kennel on this street. Roger Army is his assist - Alito She told me that Charles Carlson and Jerry Rice had concealed themselves from all humanity ina little research lab that they built in East Millbury. She added that Arnold Vayo was manager of an A P market. I said good-bye and went into a little bakery called Fresh an' Ready. Behind the counter I saw Nancy Grenier. Hi, Nancy, I said. Can you tell me where I can find some of our old classmates? Well, Dolores LeMay is anemcee at the Club Bongo Bongo. And Carol Graves, Mary Carberry, Louise Sawyer, and Marion Chase are secretaries for the great new rocket plant in Bramanville, she told me. I left the bakery and continued my vist around the town. Robert Picking and Ed LeClaire were working ona super model helicopter in a hearby ‘copter station. I asked if they'd drive me to Old Common to see Shirley Carlstrom., I was surprised not only to find out that she still lived there, but also that she ran a fruit farm withCarol Pajala. They grew apples, pears, peaches, and plums. Many of the houses which I had seen there previously had been bought and moved to make room for the trees. Janet Markey worked for them as their private chemist. She made insecticides and formulas for growing bigger and better fruits, Anita Seymour was the official tester of the formulas, and it was her duty to report any change in the fruit. I had met the last of my classmates. I had seen my town. I was pleased at its beauty and progressiveness, I had re- turned after so many years to finda marvel of huge buildings, great bridges, and beautiful roads where there had once been a little town. I could now leave America with a sense of satisfaction. I wonder what my friends will be doing in 1994, I thought as I boarded the plane. -Janet Anderson 29 31 32 33 34 Leicester Alumni Uxbridge Northbridge Grafton Westboro Shrewsbury Holden 35 Auburn Uxbridge Northbridge Grafton Westboro Shrewsbury Holden Auburn Cl Gaselall 37 ETAT Data a S352 5 Meegeeee sen shai tale re mma 39 Horace Tlauu Stadeuts Amelia Markey,A lan Curtis, Ronald Despard, Nancy Stone.
