We experience nos- talgia as we look back on four wonderful years; eagerness to test our new independence; and gratitude to our parents, our principal, and our teachers, all of whom have helped and guided us through our high school years. Only time will impress upon us the true value of their efforts, but it is our wish to offer our sincerest thanks at this time, and also to extend to you our welcome to these the Class Day exercises of the Class of 1955.

CLASS MOTTO Forward Without Fear CLASS FLOWER White Carnation with green fern 17 Opportunities “For “She sémerican Youth Of “Joday | feel that the American youth of today has a gredt many opportunities to become a successful man or woman. A few genera tions ago, New England was a rural area. A family growing up on a farm was supported by the work of every member. Usually the chores on the farm took all of the time before and after school leaving very little leisure time for doing additional studying or enjoying any type of social activity. As New England developed, mill centers grew up and families were attracted to the towns and cities. Here the wages were small, and it was often necessary for the children in the family to find odd jobs to supplement the father’s income. The average family could not afford to send their children to school beyond the elementary grades or high school. It was a rare exception when a young person was able to continue on to college. Today conditions are very different. With the development of electricity and other such inventions, we can enjoy many modern conveniences. Household chores are made easier leaving more time for education and social activities. The American youth has a greater opportunity than any other youth in the world for receiving an education. Here in the United States education is based on the “ladder system.’” Under this system each school prepares the student for a higher level of learning ahead. At the bottom of the ladder is the nursery school, which improves the physical and emotional health of pre-school children. Next there is the kindergarten, which cultivates the artistic and social interests of the five and six year olds. An elementary school, a junior and serior high school, and finally college complete the system. There is also a great variety of technical and vocational schools, some five to six hundred junior colleges, several hundred teachers’ colleges and universities. Night courses, summer courses, correspondence courses, and lectures and forums given over the radio and television are available for the person who cannot attend a regular college. This “ladder system” breaks down the barrier between the social groups and gives every American youth an equal chance for education. Much progress has been made in the field of testing young people for their outstanding aptitudes. This helps to determine the field for which they are best suited. Today a young person has a very wide choice of professions or occupations and can find educational programs to make him a specialist in the occupation he chooses. The active method of teaching allows the student to participate in activities about which he is studying. In the modern school build- ings we find laboratories, kitchens, and photography rooms where the pupils can do practical work in the subjects they are studying. In most New England schools, students are even allowed to manage the municipal government for a day. Such facilities were unheard of in grandfather’s day. High school students who have the desire to further their education have many wonderful opportunities from scholarships, which are available. Any student with exceptionally good marks can find encouragement from many groups whose purpose is to lend aid to deserving pupils. Nearly every college has endowments for providing such scholarships. A great change has also taken place in military training. Formerly, military service was a matter of just plain soldiering. Today, military training involves learning the arts and sciences of modern warfare. The enlisted man has an opportunity to engage in many trades, such as electronics, mechanics, and engingering, which can be useful when he returns to civilian life. This is an excellent opportunity for a boy who is undecided as to what occupation or profession to follow. New industries which were unheard of a few hundred years ago offer new futures for young people today. Some of these are the automobile, the airplane, the electric, and the gas and oil industry. There are unlimited opportunities in the atomic field, for those who have imagination enough to look ahead and foresee the things about to be developed from atomic sources. With so many fast growing new industries all about us, the person who has the education and the desire can go far in the field he chooses to follow for his life’s work. Yes, | feel that there are unlimited opportunities for the youth of today if we prepare through education to apply ourselves to one 18 DGuventle Delingueney— stmericas Cancer “| pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Six-year-old lips stumble over the long, not really understood words and six-year-old eyes turn eagerly toward the flag of these United States. Every morning of every school day this pageant is enacted throughout our land, and every actor in it firmly believes that nothing could be greater than God and America. Yet, somewhere between the first grade and high school, this feeling is lost and is replaced by a feeling of resentment towards authority, yes, even towards God. What causes the resentment and withdrawal on the part of high school students and teen-agers? You who are adults may say, “Teen-agers were different in my day.” True. The world was also different in your day. Today’s teen-agers grew up surrounded by Fascism, Nazism, and Communism. Thus, it is only natural for them to become cold and cynical at an early age. But, are these youth gangs, these so-called “wolf packs’ natural? To a degree, yes. Strong in a teen-ager are the desires to be secure and to be like others. In the gangs this security and anonymity are found. The loyalty felt by adults for their country is felt by juveniles for their gangs. Their miniature battles are fought with all the savage brutality of full scale wars. If these desires are strong in all teen-agers, why, then, do they not all belong to gangs? Many satisfy these desires elsewhere, mostly in the home. An appalling number of delinquents are from broken homes or homes where both parents work and have no time for the child, who is left to fend for himself. The warmth and closeness which should be found in the home are lacking and must be substituted for elsewhere. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen once said, ‘There are no delinquent children; there are only delinquent parents.” Ministers, parish priests and juvenile aid societies have tried to organize groups to which teen-agers may belong and from which they may derive security, friendship, and training in good citizenship. These plans, however, cannot succeed without the aid of the parents. This, then, is the solution to teen-age gangs: less indifference on the part of the parents, and a closer family relationship. But what of the delinquents who do not travel with a gang, the “lone wolves’ who have made the word “teen-ager” an infamous synonym far “hoodlum’’? These boys, who are often responsible for murders and crimes of passion, are the most disgusting, yet pathetic, of teen-age criminals. Sometimes the perpetrators of the most violent of crimes, these are the ones whose mental confusion and fear of reality exhibited themselves not by something as openly anti-social as joining a gang, but by years of quiet, almost servile, obedience, capped by a sudden volcanic explosion of violence. For teen-agers of this type, psychiatric care is greatly, almost desperately needed. At a first glance, the situation seems worse than it really is. Opposed to this minority of delinquents are the many average, honest teen-agers in whose hands the future of America lies. This, then, is the situation you face today, the situation we shall probably have to meet twenty or thirty years in the future. We only hope that we shall be able to manage as well as you have and that the generation following us shall look back, as we shall look back on you and say, “Learning from them and of ourselves, we shall have the power to remake the world and relight the torch of peace.” Mary Prendiville (continued trom Column 1) ot the many new businesses that have been developed in the twentieth century. This graduating class will go forward into a world so full of opportunities that everyone will have an equal chance to build a successful career for himself or herself. Certainly, no generation before us has ever had such a store set before them. We are ever so fortunate to be young Americans able to enter a world of unlimited opportunity. Cecily Needham Australia, the “Land down-under,’” was the birthplace in 1886 of Elizabeth Kenny, a revolutionist in the field of medicine. Her work in helping polio victims to stimulate and re-educate their affected muscles is known world-wide. Although her childhood was carefree and gay, Elizabeth realized the problems of humanity and in order to aid in this field she received her nurses’ training in her teens. Her service in the Nurses Corps in World War | served as a background for the courage which she was to need in her crusade against the crippling results of polio. Elizabeth’s first connection with infantile paralysis came when the disease was virtually unknown to her. Six children in the bush country of Australia, 100 miles from a doctor, became afflicted. After a futile telegram to Dr. McDonnell of Toowoomba General Hospital in Australia, she applied her own methods to aid the victims. Noticing that each sufferer had visible muscle spasms Elizabeth made use of available water, heat, blankets, and her own hands. As a result of these treatments, the six patients re- covered. The use of water, heat, blankets, and supple hands became the underlying theme in Sister Kenny’s methods in relieving pain and preventing body deformities. She believed that physical therapy was the answer and not immobilization by braces and splints whose work was to prevent strong muscles from bullying the weaker ones. Suffering was relieved by tearing blankets into strips and using them as soft, hot applications to the muscle spasms. Also, massages by strong flexible hands and hot baths were means of recovery. Sister Kenny’s greatest difficulty was in convincing physicians and non-believers that the new theory of muscular therapy was sound and logical. Since her method was completely opposite to the orthodox treatment of braces and splints, Australian physicians finally obtained a royal commission to investigate and compare. Even after three years of probing into the merits of the treatment, her method was rebuked. Finally in 1939, after years of struggle and sacrifices, she convinced the doctors and was granted full recognition for her efforts. Her treatment became available in all hospitals by request. As a result of this initial victory, eight Kenny hospitals have been established in the Dominion. Sister Kenny, after completing her work in Australia, began her crusade in America in 1940. Through the efforts of Dr. Melvin Henderson of the Mayo Clinic, she and her staff began work at the University of Minnesota Medical School. A direct result of her work in the United States was the establishment of the Sister Kenny Foundation in Minnesota in 1943. The Foundation, supported en- tirely by public funds, features scholarships for nurses and therapists to become familiar with the Kenny method. The most important functions, however, are treatment, diagnosis, research, and pre- vention of the dread disease. Recognition was a long time in coming, but its arrival was a jubilant occasion to Miss Kenny. An editorial feature in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1942 commented, “the battle against infantile paralysis is being won.” The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis recognized her and ‘praised her for her work. In Australia the school children murmur a prayer for Sister Kenny before starting their day. Sister Kenny‘’s quote, “American doctors are very skeptical but they just can’t stand using one method of treatment when they | know there is a better one available,” shows her faith in the’ caretakers of our health. Sister Kenny, the stout, strong-featured woman with bobbed hair, died on November 30, 1952, but though the woman herself is gone, her spirit lingers to show the light to coming generations. Miss Kenny was a sure-fire revolutionist because she believed in her cause and carried it through. May that be an incentive for young people today. Her battle was for humanity; kindness and health were victorious. Amelia Markey Sister Kenng— 4 Crusader Knowledge— What Will 19 We De With 9e? Webster’s dictionary defines wisdom as a synonym of knowledge. But is all knowledge used wisely? To answer this question we need do no more than pick up a local newspaper. There headlines will tell us of knowledge that is used wisely and unwisely. A typical headline might read, “Third Atom Test Blast Set for 10 A.M. Tomorrow.” A test of atomic energy for what purpose? To help man live a better and more productive life? No, but a test of atomic energy for worfare, atomic energy that, if used, would kill hundreds of thousands of people. This same power that is used for warfare could be used to heat buildings at a very low cost and to preserve foods for a long period of time. What of the cost and hardships that are caused by the manufacture of weapons of warfare? | quote, in part, from a speech made by President Eisen- hower in April 1953, “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies—in the final sense—a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money, alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, and the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: A modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” This is knowledge that is used not to help mankind, but to destroy it. Today there is also an inadequate knowledge of right and wreng. The sordid, ugly side of life is flashed through the minds of today’s youth by crime and murder stories on television, radio, and in comic books. Is this helping today’s youth to become better members of society or to become juvenile delinquents? The answer is very apparent. Today the increase in juvenile delinquency is alarming. These same mediums of radio, television, and books could be used to teach the youth the good in life and the proper way of living. Children follow the example set by older members of society. The right kind of training starts in the home. As the Bible stated in Proverbs 22: 6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Another headline might read, ‘Scientist Discovers New Drug.” In the past half-century, many new discoveries have been made to help men live longer. For example, in 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin which has saved many lives. Two new wonder drugs, streptomycin and promin have been partially successful in the treatment of tuberculosis. Radiation has been used successfully in the treatment of cancer, the second greatest cause of death in the United States. These are but a few examples of knowledge used to lengthen men’s lives. How are we, the graduates of 1955, going to use the knowledge that we have obtained in our school years? After this graduation, some of us will go on to higher schools of learning to further our education. Others of us have taken industrial art courses and commercial courses to train us to make a living for ourselves. The future depends upon us. The knowledge that we have learned is good knowledge. The result depends upon how we use it. If we follow the admonition given in Matthew, the 22nd chapter, surely our knowledge will result in good to all mankind. ‘Tiiou shall love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thyself.” Maxine Easley The day was September 7; the year, 1951. You were there. This date marked our entrance into high school, the last four years of our fundamental education. When we entered we were all a bit nervous and didn’t know what to expect. We acted as all freshmen have acted and will act in the future; we were young and eager. A few weeks passed before we became accustomed to the intricate workings of the high school, but soon we held our first class meeting for the purpose of choosing our class officers. The results of the election were as follows: Elsa Blomquist, president; Jane Shea, vice president; Evelyn Nelson, secretary; and Amy Markey, treasurer. Soon the football season came, and a few of the freshmen boys participated in this great sport. Among them were Richard Fox, Donald Bernier, and Robert Cote. Basketball later beckoned to Ray Cofsky, Leo Bachant, and Raymond Le Claire, and they played well. When the baseball season arrived, the following freshmen boys answered the call: Donald Bernier, Ray Cofsky, and Elmer Ballard, manager. Sports tempted the girls also, and soon the feminine mem- bers of our class were playing on the field hockey team. They were Gail Webber, Shirley Ekstrom, Nancy Anderson, Paula Kotilainen, Amy Markey, Marilyn Read, Joan Welcom, and Nancy Erickson. With the advent of the basketball season we realized that we had some potential stars. Our freshmen representatives were Cecily Needham, Mary Jane Scannell, Nancy Anderson, Elsa Blomquist, Jane Shea, Shirley Ekstrom, Joan Welcom, Amy Markey, Sheila Murray, and Paula Kotilainen. Constantly encouraging both boys’ and girls’ teams on to victory were our cheerleaders, Gail Webber and Carole Letendre. In addition to sports many other activities helped the freshman lose his complexes and helped him get acquainted with the upper classmen. Many of us became actively interested in the French Club and in the Dramatic Club. Jack Revane, George Jannery, Horace Jannery, Bernard Shedd, Carol George, Bruce Hodgman, and William Cournoyer joined the Orchestra and the Talent Group; and many of the girls joined the Glee Club. Joan Welcom was elected to the staff of our school paper, the Reflector, and helped considerably to make it a successful publication. In June we reviewed our freshmen year with pride. As sophomores we would have new status,-and we could alert all the incoming, wide-eyed freshmen to the dangers of those dreaded mid-year examinations. We would now be the givers of some good advice, rather than the underdog recipients. September, 1952, ushered in a busy season. Our class officers of the preceding year were re-elected, and we enthusi- astically chose our Ring Committee. Responsible for the choice of our class rings were Emil Tarckini, Richard Fox, Evelyn Nelson, Gail Webber, Robert Carlson, and Elsa Blomquist. More of us joined the staff of the Reflector; namely, Amy Markey, Bruce Hodgman, Ronald Despard, Joan Welcom, Elmer Ballard, Jane Shea, and Cecily Needham. Again we were represented in the Orchestra and in the Talent Group by Jack Revane, Robert Turner, Horace Jannery, George Jannery, Bruce 20 Class History Hodgman, Carol George, and Bernard Shedd. On the football team this year were Richard Fox, Leo Bachant, Donald Bernier, Robert Cote, and Ray Cofsky. Ray Cofsky, Robert Carlson, and Jack Revane were our sophomore contributions to the basketball team. Members of the baseball team were Donald Bernier, Jack Revane, Ray Cofsky, and Elmer Ballard, manager. Many of the girls became interested in field hockey, and those on the team were Paula Kotilainen, Amy Markey, Joan Welcom, Gail Webber, Carole Letendre, and Nancy Erickson. On the girls’ basketball team were the following: Dolores Blondin, Cecily Needham, Sally Ashton, Joan Welcom, Jane Shea, Shirley Ekstrom, Marilyn Read, Nancy Anderson, Sheila Murray, and Paula Kotilainen. In May of our sophomore year we entered a new high school. We shall never forget the march to the new building where we would avail ourselves of many opportunities that we had previously dreamed about. In September we anxibusly returned to Millbury Memorial High School. We were bursting with enthusiasm as we entered the bright, new classrooms, and we resolved that we would work harder than ever. As always, we buckled down by electing class officers, and once again the officers of the previous yea r were re-elected. Many boys went out for the football team, and those on it were Edmund Quigley, Robert Carlson, Richard Fox, Leo Bachant, Ray Cofsky, and William Cournoyer. In basketball our representatives were Robert Turner, Ray Cofsky, and Robert Carlson. In the spring of 1954 track was introduced to our school, and the following boys were on the team: Robert Woodward, Francis Salois, Ronald Despard, Robert Carlson, Robert Turner and Bernard Shedd. Again many of our girls were on the field hockey team. Among them were Paula Kotilainen, Joan Welcom, Nancy Anderson, Amy Markey, and Shirley Ekstrom. On the very promising girls’ basketball team were Nancy Anderson, Jane Shea, Paula Kotilainen, Joan Welcom, Dolores Blondin, Amy Markey, Mary Jane Scannell, and Bonnie Wyne, manager. Our delegates to the girls’ softball team were Paula Kotilainen, Dolores Blondin, Leona Dattis, Mary Jane Scannell, and Sheila Murray. With so many facilities available in the new high school, the various clubs were reactivated. The Science Club was made up of the following members of our Junior class: Jack Revane, Robert Carlson, Robert Woodward, Richard Fox, Conrad Hagstrom, George Jannery, Louis Lucas, and Ronald Despard. In the Biology Club were Richard Salo, Cheryl Konisky, Helen Witter, Evelyn Nelson, Amy Markey, Paula Kotilainen, and Jane Shea. In the new auditorium a play entitled “My Little Margie” was presented. Members of the cast from our class were Mary Prendiville, Paula Kotilainen, Bruce Hodgman, and Louis Lucas. Our next big event was the junior prom. Preparations re- quired much hard work, but we were all anxious to make the evening a success. Among those who helped make this the most spectacular dance of the season were Elsa Blomquist, Bruce Hodgman, George Jannery, Jack Revane, Carole Letendre, Nancy Erickson, Gail Webber, Ronald Despard, and Bernard Shedd. The Reflector staff had multiplied, and we had many re- presentatives from our class. Carole Letendre, Patricia Pajala, Bonnie Wyne, Amy Markey, Joan Welcom, Jane Shea, Cheryl Konisky, Bruce Hodgman, Barbara Norman, Ronald Despard, and Roy Bolduc helped our only school publication win second place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest. This award was for duplicated magazines. In the Orchestra and in-the Talent Group we boasted of Jack Revane, Dolores Blondin, Carol George, Horace Jannery, George Jannery, Bernard Shedd, Leona Dattis, and Bruce Hodg- man. In the new school band were Cecily Needham, Horace Jannery, Carolyn Pizan, and Ronald Despard. At a special assembly program in the spring, Mr. Beaton announced the Horace Mann awards. Recipients were Amy Markey and Ronald Despard. We also had a newly formed Stu- dent Council, and our class delegates were Amy Markey, Jane Shea, Ronald Despard, Dennis Horgan, and Elsa Blomquist. We soon found ourselves looking forward to our last sum- mer vacation from Millbury High. Soon we would be seniors. The fourth and final September of our high school journey came, and we found that we were the great seniors. But glory remained for only a short time; we were soon forced to con- centrate on the business at hand. We held our first Senior class meeting for the purpose of electing class officers, and the results of that election were as follows: Robert Carlson, president; Richard Fox, vice president; Evelyn Nelson, secretary; Amy Markey, treasurer. Football season again came around, and many of the senior boys joined the team. They were Bernard Shedd, Robert Carlson, William Cournoyer, Jack Kortekamp, Joe Louzonis, John Heslinga, Leo Bachant, Donald Bernier, Kar! Molt, Robert Turner, Dennis Horgan, Ed Quigley, Carlton Greene, Ray Le- Claire, and Dick Cross, with Ray Cofsky and Richard Fox, co-captains. Active on the boys’ basketball team were Ray Cofsky, captain; Robert Turner, Robert Carlson, and Robert Pro- teau. Baseball players were Captain Donald Bernier, Richard Fox, and Howard May. Representatives of our class on the very active track team were Francis Salois, captain; Robert Woodward, Robert Carlson, Robert Turner, Robert Proteau, Richard Cross, Ronald Despard, and John Heslinga. The senior girls-were again active sports enthusiasts. The following participated in field hockey: Paula Kotilainen and Joan Welcom, co-captains; Nancy Erickson, Amy Markey, Nancy Anderson, and Shirley Ekstrom. The girls’ basketball team was very successful this season, and they won the championship. Senior players on this amazing team were Nancy Anderson and Amy Markey as co-captains, with Jane Shea, Paula Kotilainen, Mary Jane Scannell, Joan Welcom, Sheila Murray, Sally Ashton, and Manager Bonnie Wyne. On the softball team were Captain Paula Kotilainen, Leona Dattis, Sheila Murray, and Dolores Blondin. The Reflector again received an honor. It was given a first- place rating by the Columbia School Press Association. The 21 senior members of the staff which prepared this praiseworthy publication were: Ronald Despard, ediror-in-chief, and Bruce Hodgman and Amy Markey, assistant editors. On the production and art staff were Jane Shea, Chery! Konisky, Bonnie Wyne, Barbara Norman, Joan Welcom, Carolyn Pizan, Elsa Blomquist, Pauline Pottie, Roy Bolduc, Robert Proteau, Richard Salo, Bernard Shedd, and Louis Lucas. In the Orchestra and the Talent Group were Robert Racicot, Jack Revane, Carlton Green, Roberr Turner, Leona Dattis, Leo Bachant, Carol George, Horace Jannery, Donald Bernier, George Jannery, Bruce Hodgman, and Bernard Shedd. Bonnie Wyne was our only contribution to the band. Senior class members of the Student Council were Jane Shea, president; Elsa Blomquist, Amy Markey, Robert Carlson, and Ronald Despard. On the Aftermath Staff we were represented by Joan Welcom, editor-in-chief; Amy Markey and Richard Salo, assistant editors; and Bruce Hodgman and Ronald Despard, associate editors. Donald LaCoy was advertising manager; and on his committee were Jack Revane, Mary Jane Scannell, Sheila Murray, Paula Kotilainen, Gail Webber, Richard Fox, and Leo Bachant. In the spring of our senior year a play entitled, “Men Are Like Streetcars” was presented. Those seniors who partici- pated were Carole Letendre, Mary Prendiville, Bruce Hodgman, Richard Salo, Pauline Pottie, and Louis Lucas. The senior prom, another big event, required many workers. Helping to make this a success were Elsa Blomquist, chairman; Bruce Hodgman, George Jannery, Jack Revane, Carole Letendre, Nancy Erickson, Gail Webber, Ronald Despard, Bernard Shedd, Roy Bolduc, Pauline Pottie, Robert Carlson, Dennis Horgan, Donald Bernier, Evelyn Nelson, Helen Witter, Bonnie Wyne, Richard Salo, Amy Markey, Carol Army, Barbara Norman, Carolyn Pizan, and Louis Lucas. Amy Markey was chosen as D.A.R. representative and she was also again given the Horace Mann Award. Amy was the only senior recipient. However, we had many honor students who deserved special commendation also. They were Cecily Needham, Jane Shea, Maxine Easley, Madeline Easley, Ronald Despard, Mary Prendiville, and Robert Carlson. From this group the following were chosen as our graduation speakers: Cecily Needham, Mary Prendiville, Amy Markey, and Maxine Easley. Robert Carlson, Evelyn Nelson, Elsa Blomquist, Joan Welcom, and Gail Webber were selected to choose our class photographer. Loring Studio was their choice. The Class Day speakers selected were Prophet, Elsa Blom- quist; Statistician, Nancy Erickson; Giver of Gifts, Bruce Hodg- man; Testator, Evelyn Nelson; Recorder of Omissions and Correc- tions, Joan Welcom; Historian, Louis Lucas. Well, there you have it. Four years of high school, and now the clubs and activities have reached their close for the Class of ‘55. What sort of years were they? The usual years filled with those events that go down in history, and you were there. Louis Lucas Today we are going on an imaginary adventure into the future lives of the students of the class of 1955. We'll step into the year 1975, into a town known as Progress, and just look around. Progress is a town noted for its variety of occupations and people. Just relax and enjoy yourselves. Probably the most impressive building in town is the large, dome-crested laboratory located on the side of the mountain. It was designed by Dick Cross and is one of the most copied buildings of the day. If we look inside, we'll undoubtedly find Louis Lucas working on his new atomic space ship. Lucas is the world’s only designer of space aircraft, and he be- lieves this one will reach any planet in outer space. Ronald Despard and Bob Carlson have put their best engineering devices into the craft. Carolyn Pizan, sec- retary to Despard, has kept a complete record of its construction; and Leo Bachant, Bob Boucher, Donald Bernier, and Bob Turner have offered to be the first persons ever to venture into the spectrum. In another section of this immense laboratory Professor Conrad Hagstrom is conducting experiments in physics and mathematics, similar to those conducted by the late Professor Einstein; he is assisted by Professor Robert Lundstrom. The laboratory, equipment, and salaries are all paid for through the generosity of multi- millionaire Robert Bleau of former East Millbury fame. The largest building in town is the radio and television station. Inside you'll be greeted by Nancy Erickson, who will introduce you to some of the interesting personalities here. One of the first persons you will meet is Bernard Shedd who, with his singing dog “Brownie”, conducts a coast to coast cowboy show. If you’re lucky, you may be allowed to see 22 Class Prophecy Of 1955 Howard May, who portrays Davy Crockett on televi- sion. Bruce Hodgman, your world-wide newscaster, always has some colorful, old friend on his show; today he’s presenting America’s ambassador to Ire- land, Dennis Horgan. Jack Revane, famous orchestra leader and creator of that new sound THUMP, will accompany Mr. Horgan as he sings some old Irish songs. Costume designer Barbara Norman has stated that everyone on the show will be wearing bright green. Upstairs Mary Racicot will introduce you to that “spark” of the sports world, announcer Jim Mannix. Jim knows atl the famous personalities in the sports field and undoubtedly he’ll tell you about some of them. While talking with me the other day, he told me of Dick Boutilier, the only man ever to catch a tuna weighing three tons. Howard Morin, world’s heavyweight champ; Richard Army, the famous hockey star of the Bruins; John Heslinga, professional football player; and Francis Salois, the famous Olympic champion, are just a few of the town’s notable sportsmen that he might speak of to you. Frances Chesna, who owns and operates a race track for jet sports cars, is one of the town’s wealthi- est women. She can be seen at the races wearing mink jackets designed by Jane Gray and fashionable jewelry created by Alice Foy. Ray Cofsky designs those rocket-fast autos; and drivers Jack Kortekamp, Bob Proteau, Don Rice, and Ray LeClaire speed them around the track. Mechanic Bill Young has a great deal to do with making the victories possible. Navy Commander Eddie Quigley, with Karl Molt, Carlton Greene, and Joseph Louzonis, all of ship “U. S. S. Future,” are not at present in town; however, we realize that their duties do not make it possible. Gail Webber, president of our local bank; Madeline and Maxine Easley, our town’s morticians; Louise Erickson, hair stylist; Paula Kotilainen, operator of our reducing school; Mary Jane Scannell, manager of a large insurance concern; and Charlotte Deeter, owner of the Blue Carpet Restaurant, are some of the town’s businesswomen. Richard Salo, floraculturalist; Emil Tarckini and Robert Racicot, owners of the Hunter’s Club; Edward Wilczynski and Bob Cote, department store heads; Bill Cournoyer, operator of that new bowling alley with atomic pin setters; Norman Army, A P owner; Bob Woodward, pharmacist; and Dick Fox, car dealer, are some of the town’s businessmen. Culture is not lacking in our little town. Dolores Blondin, an outstanding dancer, and Carol George, comedienne, are both working in Evelyn Nelson’s exotic night club, The Oriental, designed by Roy Bolduc. The Jannery Combo, with Horace and George Jannery, is playing there, and pretty Sheila Murray is the hostess. One can never forget the fragrance of Sally Ashton’s new perfume “Mantrap,” nor the lovely sight of one ef Carole Letendre’s hat creations. I’m sure that Don LaCoy’s invention, the robot file cabinet, will be a boon to every business. Amelia Markey, our hospital’s superintendent, Leona Dattis, Helen Witter, and Pauline Pottie will never be forgotten for their wonderful work in nursing and their great help in assisting Dr. Jane Shea 23 in her experiments. Private detective Marilyn Read and private sec- retaries, Teresa Krasinski and Yvonne James, have assisted District Attorney Mary Prendiville in many of her cases. Nancy Anderson, our local high school physical education instructor, and Bonnie Wyne, our “Y” swimming instructor, have helped our children im- mensely. More of our outstanding citizens are Cheryl Konisky, director of Progress’ Charm School for Young Ladies; Shirley Ekstrom, President of our Mother’s Club; of Charm Magazine; Joyce Stewart, reporter; and Carol Army, Joan Welcom, editor librarian. Cecily Needham is the private secretary of our distinguished mayor, Elmer Ballard. Also associated with City Hall are Anita and Marie Morin, our tax collectors. In the large Economics Building you'll find Janet Oliver busily buying and selling stocks. Patricia Pajala, who is the manager ot our campaign, “Keep our City Clean,’” can be seen tacking posters about town. The littlest lady in town, Elaine Carlson, is the owner and manager of the Poodle Puff, an exclusive beauty shop for French Poodles. Miss Carlson can be seen walking with her pastel poodles in the park on sunny days. This concludes our little escapade into the future. | hope you have enjoyed it. Although the facts are fictitious, they are the ambitions and hopes of our generation. May all our dreams come true.
