Though William Shakespeare wrote these words over three hundred years ago, he encompassed in them a truly realistic picture of modern civilization. For just as the stage requires outstanding performers to keep it alive, so the world needs outstanding citizens to prevent it from being torn apart by war and hatred. The United States may have a major role in our struggle for survival, but we, as citizens of the country are only bit players. Nevertheless, we must do our utmost to make the production a success. In other words, we must become outstanding citizens. Before we begin to learn our roles as good citizens, however, we must become acquainted with what a citizen is. Webster defines a citizen as: “a member of a state or nation who enjoys political rights and privileges. There is more to the definition than just that. Can you imagine living in a country where everyone just enjoyed himself and cared nothing about his duties. That would probably be a short lived nation. It could happen to us, however, if we continue to live only for ourselves. Rights and privileges are only a part of the definition of a citizen. Amore in- clusive definition would be: “a member of a state or nation who enjoys political rights and privileges but also shares in the responsibilities. We can find a list of our rights and privileges by reading the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States, but how do we know what our responsibilities are? Common sense will tell us that when we break a window, we are obligated to pay for the glass. Our conscience and our reasoning power can distinguish between right and wrong. The three of these combined; common sense, our conscience, and our reasoning power should be enough to help us realize our responsibilities as citizens of the United States. After we have learned our major rights, privileges, and responsibilities, after we have put them into practice and adapted ourselves to them, only then will we be able to take over our roles as outstanding citizens. Our nation comprised of good citizens isn't enough, however. In order to make our production a success, all the people of the world, in- cluding those in Communist controlled countries, must be called upon to do their share. Since the United States has proven itself a leader, and since the citizens of America have one advantage--freedom, we should play an important part in preparing the less fortunate people of the world for their roles as citizens. Only with our help and friendship, which, by the way, are two prominent characteristics of a good citizen, will these people ever gain their freedom. Likewise, only by their freedom can this magnificent production be a complete success. In the theater we might expect a masterpiece such as ours with its tremendous cast to cost millions of dollars. But this is not so in the drama of citizenship, for all that is being asked of us as citizens is our co-operation. ‘ Whether we are office workers or executives, grade school teachers, or college deans, shopworkers or foremen, store clerks or managers, we are all being asked to take equal parts in this COMMAND PERFORMANCE. Janet Willand The Future and Security Security is freedom from doubt and fear. We are living at the bottom of an ocean of atmosphere. This atmosphere supports human life. Although the miracle of life and death is not fully understood, we feel sure that this life-giving composition will not move away. So we feel secure. We fear only what we do not understand. We have been given the opportunity to learn and grasp all the knowledge available to us. This knowledge, when put to use, will make our futures secure. The security of life, love, and happiness lies before us ina bright golden road. A boy, he could be your son, crouched in a muddy foxhole in some distant country, clutching his only hope, a rifle, may be brave, but he isn't secure. He's afraid. To prevent wars and insecurity the hard working countries of the world have formed the United Nations. The work of these nations along with the Geneva Conferences and the advanced work in atomic research have all contributed to the present security and near peace in the world today. What will happen when the ultimate in weapons is perfected? Mankind will have a momentous problem to solve. The use of these weapons would mean either the distruction of the world, or one nation's becoming sovereign over all others. A peaceful settlement must be made possible. Many people believe that a peaceful settlement can be found by policing the world as we do our own towns anc cities. This comparatively new organi- zation is called the World Federalists. We wouldn't think of not being able to walk down our own main streets alone, but there are many places in this world where it is not safe to do so. We, in our own homes, want security for our families. It is available to us not just in dollar signs but in knowledge. If we believe in ourselves, in our abilities, in the people we have elected to run the United States Government, and, most important, if we delieve in God, we are secure. When you feel insecure, why not take courageous Helen Keller's example, Walk out under God's sky and-feel the 2eauty and greatness of it and think how wonderful it is just to be here. Your problems will diminish in size and shrink into their true proportion .n comparison with the problems of the world. If we believe in these words spoken by David in the 23rd Psalm, then we are secure: The Lord is my snepherd; I shal! not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Betty Cross 16 The Spirit of The Future At times there has been a tendency to blame the scientist because modern warfare has become soterrible. Yet, it is not the fault of the scientist that mankind makes the use it does of his inventions. Unfortunately, every scientific invention, whether it be a radio, an airship, or atomic power, can be used to destroy mankind as well as to aid it. ; Scientific inventions are not created solely for their practical applications. If such were the case, it could very well prove the eventual undoing of mankind. But science brings with it a spirit, its own guiding spirit. The scientist strives to solve nature's riddle, to under- stand nature and the universe. To some of history's most famous scientists-Galileo, Rutherford, Scheele, and Einstein-practical applications were secondary in importance. They were primarily interested in comprehending the workings of nature. However, this does not mean that the practical uses of scientific inventions are to be forsaken. The opposite is true. But it does mean that the true scientist is spurred on by a greater motivation than to make life easier. He also wishes to enrich life. In the first place, the spirit of science is the spirit of courage. The scientist is not bound by ancient tradition. All through the ages he has dared to attack established theories which he believed to be false. Likewise, the scientists of today do not reject the revolutionary theories of Rutherford and Bohr and Einstein. Instead they rejoice in each new discovery. Secondly, science is the spirit of tolerance. The scientist realizes there is no monopoly upon truth and knowledge. He sees the progress of science as a co-operative undertaking of tolerant and courageous men from every part of the world, of every race, color, and creed. He realizes how little mankind knows and how much remains to be learned, and this realization makes him tolerant. Finally, the scientist is humane. He is concemed with the welfare of mankind. At the start of the research on the atomic bomb many of the participating scientists actually hoped that there could never possibly be such a thing as an atomic bomb. Let Einstein, whose equation pointed the way to the bomb, speak for the scientist's interest in humanity. In February, 1931, while visiting in Pasadena, he addressed the students of the California Institute of Technology with these words: Why does this magnificent applied science which saves work and makes life easier, bring us so little happiness? The simple answer is: Because we have not yet learned to make sensible use of it. It is not enough that you should understand about applied science, in order that your work may increase man's blessings. Concern for the man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. The scientist realizes how very young scientific knowledge is. Less than 500 years have elapsed since the days of Copernicus. It is less than 400 years since Galileo first turned his telescope upon the sky. The modern atomic theory is less than 160 years old. It is less than 60 years since man learned of the X-rays, of radium, and the electron. Although the scientist realizes how small his knowledge is, he is also conscious of the greatness of the power which so little knowledge has given him. He faces the future with courage. He sees mankind marching through the ages, with understanding of the universe ever growing; his mastery of nature and of himself ever increasing. In the words of the prophet, Isaiah, lie the hopes and prayers of science. The prophecy is as follows: ...and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pmining hooks; nation shall not life up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. The scientist looks forward with confidence and courage to this Era of Atomic Energy, hoping that it will be an age of peace and plenty in which man shall realize the best that is in him. Anthony Anastation I Pledge... The idea that upon the brow of every American shouid be stamped deeply the stars and stripes is a good thought, but I would go farther and say deep in the heart of us all should be the stars and stripes. For until the stars and stripes are in our minds and in our hearts, we never will know what allegiance to our country truly means. Gallons of ink have covered countless pages on the subject from the days of the ancient Greek democracies up to the present time. It might be added too, that much blood and sweat have been spent giving testimony to what these pages have stated. “Allegiance is regard of a person for one's country. It is a sentiment of helpfulness and fellowship for the happiness and prosperity of all of them.” How aptly has Elihu Root interpreted the meaning of a person's love for his country. The trouble with Americans today is that they tend to leave the welfare of their country to someone else. The expression, Well, give me peace in my day! seems to be the philosophy of much of our populace today. Yet, they pride themselves on being Americans! Our founding fathers would turn away in disgust had they known how their price- less heritage would be cast aside. The flag doesn't make an American but an American makes the flag. The United States, as a whole, is a marvelously patriotic nation, but there are some among us who have a noted apathy in regard to our country's welfare. Just as the proverbial rotten apple in the barrel, this incestuous brood must be weeded out. When the average Americans think of allegiance, their thoughts inevitably turn to the Revolutionary War, just as the indicator of a compass always points to the north. They need not go back beyond World War II, however, to find examples of such heroic inspiration. True, these acts were not so flagrant or bold, but nevertheless they said the same thing over again; namely, that an American will give his life for his country in order to keep it free. Only they said it in a different way. Where the women of the colonies molded the cartridges for their husband's rifles at home, our women went to work in the factories. Because of lead shortages, the revolutionists melted statues and other fixtures to make precious cannon balls; we saved tin cans for the weekly Saturday morning collection. Their women tore their dresses to make bandages; our women volun- teered for the Red Cross. Then there is the same tragic loss common to all wars, the loss of our loved ones. “WHat price victory? broken- hearted relatives asked one another when a son or a father or a brother was torn from their arms forever by the fortunes of war. If they are true Americans, however, a voice in their hearts tells them that their loved ones did not die in vain. Rather, they died that those at home might live. Although this does not completely comfort them, it makes them glow with pride for the lost.one and, just as important, for their country. In such a country as this, there is no room for a person who does not have enough pride in his fatherland to expend his all to keep it free. Those who think only of themselves are not Americans. Even worse, are those who grow prosperous at the expense of their fellow countrymen. When a country is enjoying a period of peace--(something that doesn't happen very often these days)--the natural tendency of the populace is to forget about their country and concentrate instead on their own selfish battle for their own prosperity. They forget that it was only through their country that they were able to become prosperous at all. Victory gardens are replaced by television sets. The only time that the strains of the National Anthem greet our ears occurs at the ball park. Our defenses are relaxed, and a general sense of relative non-interest in our country's welfare sets in. The Red Cross bloodmobile comes into an area and seeks donations. Out of the six thousand able persons, three hundred contribute their blood. For twenty-five doliars a pint, a hospital in the same area buys blood. Here there is a waiting list of persons who wish to sell the life giving fluid. I ask you, is this allegiance? Had this situation occurred during a period of war, the Red Cross would probably have made their quota, but there still would have been that waiting list at the hospital. People like these are not fit to be called Americans. In the area of civil defense, the situation is the same. An ever-present lack of volunteers leaves our skies open to enemy attack, but who would be the first to complain if their homes and families were destroyed in one fell swoop by the enemy? You guessed it. The man who took civil defense for granted, who thought someone else was doing his job. Americans! Awake from your slumber. Allegiance is not a part-time job but a full-time privilege. Stamp the stars and stripes in your minds and hearts. Instead of talking, live the stars and stripes. Diane Berthiaume 17 Address of Welcome Ladies and gentlemen, faculty, and guests: We wish to extend to youa most hearty welcome to our Class Day exercises. As our four years at Millbury Memorial High School draw to,a close, we find ourselves at the threshold of destiny. We are confronted with doubt, anxiety, and fear of what the future holds in store. But when we slip out into the world as young men and women, we Shall have one weapon that should see us through the inevitable pitfalls. That weapon is faith--faith in our God, faith in ourselves, and faith in our fellow man. We certainly believe in our motto, Faith Conquers Fear. Today we would like to take one last look over the road we have traveled and relive our pleasant, carefree days at Millbury Memorial High School. We would like to express our most humble and heartfelt thanks to our parents for their love and devotion. It was their sacrifices, their hopes, and their prayers that made it possible for us to be here today. We would like to say simply, but from the bottom of our hearts, Thanks, Mom; thanks, Dad, for everything. We also wish to express our thanks to our principal, Mr. Beaton, and to the faculty for the helr and understanding they have given us during our four years at Millbury High. We sincerely hope that all of you here today will enjoy our Class Day exercises. Anthony Anastation Class President Omissions and Corrections There was a loud screech of brakes, a muttled scream, and then--silence, Millbury City had just witnessed one of the worst automobile accidents in its history. The lone occupant of the auto, a man, was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital. While he was lying on the operating table, he regained consciousness just long enough to recognize the surgeon who was to perform the operation.” Miss Ruth Easley, M.D. was Chief of Staff at Mill- bury City Hospital. The patient drifted into unconsciousness, confident that he would be all right under the skillful care of Dr. Easley.

This was our main thought in September of 1952 as we, lowly freshmen, entered Millbury High. At first, we were easily surprised and just a little frightened, but soon we became accustomed to the functions of the school, and we held our first class meeting to elect officers. Those elected were Anthony Anastation, president; Martha Thompson, vice-president; Lee Hill, secretary; and Janet Willand, treasurer. Later in the month, Eileen Blomquist and Marie Tift were chosen as our cheerleaders. As freshman we were not well represented in the various sports. Norm Gonyea was our sole participant in football. Al Bianchi and Norm Gonyea became members of the basketball squad. As baseball came into the picture, Norm Gonyea was again our only contribution. We were represented a little stronger in girls' sports. Carol Wahlstrom, Eileen Blomquist, Kathy Krumsiek, Janet Willand, Nancy Norman, Gerry Dubickas, and Marie Tift supported the hockey team. Members of the basketball team were Lee Hill, Gail Higginbottom, Joyce Gregory, Mary Beth McGrath, Janice Langway, Kathy Krumsiek, Janet Willand, Gerry Dubickas, Virginia Mathieu, and Martha Thompson. When softball season rolled around, Gail Higginbottom, Nancy Borowick, and Ruth Easley answered the call. On the REFLECTOR staff were Janet Novick, Lee Hill, Eileen Blomquist, Judy Baldwin, Al Bianchi, Janet Willand, and Gerry Dubickas. Many of our girls added their voices to the Glee Club; and Elaine Gravel, Nancy Borowick, Nancy Norman, and Marie Tift became members of the Talent Group. In April of our freshman year, we marched from the old high school to this wonderful new building. At last, our dream had come true, Summer vacation came and went so fast that even before we realized it, we were entering high school as sophomores, the wise fools. The fall of 1953 found us with all of our shyness gone. We became more and more active in school activities, The first event of our sophomore year was election of class officers. Those chosen were Tony Anastation, president; Martha Thompson, vice-president; Kay May, secretary; and Janet Willand, treasurer. Football season found Jim Cassidy, Leonard Norman, Robert Scott, and Norm Gonyea on the squad. Roger Lavallee, Ronald Dunn, and Norm Gonyea were on the basketball team. Norm Gonyea, once again, was our only representative on the baseball team. Track came into the picture at M.M.H.S. in the spring of 1954 and the following boys joined the team: Paul Rhodes, James Anthony, Leonard Norman, Tony Anastation, Ronald Stacy, and Al Bianchi. Our class participants in girls' sports were Judy Baldwin, Eileen Blomquist, Gerry Dubickas, Mary Hamilton, Phyllis Howard, Kathy Krumsiek, Marie Tift, Carol Wahlstrom, and Janet Willand on the hockey team. Gerry Dubickas, Joyce Gregory, Gail Higginbottom, Lee Hill, Kathy Krumsiek, Janice Langway, Eleanor Larson, Virginia Mathieu, Mary Beth McGrath, and Janet Willand played basketball; and Nancy Borowick, Ruth Easley, Mary Hamilton, Gail Higginbottom, Kathy Krumsiek, Judy Baldwin, Janet Willand, Gerry Dubickas, and Lee Hill starred in softball. Sophomore members of the REFLECTOR were Al Bianchi, Marie Tift, Janet Willand, Gerry Dubickas, Martha Thompson, Lee Hill, Judy Baldwin, Mary Hamilton, Phyllis Howard, Eileen Blomquist, and Janet Novick, Students elected to the newly formed Student Council were Janet Willand, Al Bianchi, Tony Anastation, and Eileen Blomquist. Ronald Dunn, Marie Tift, Nancy Borowick, and Elaine Gravel were in the Talent Group. As sophomores we were also able to participate in the Biology Club, French Club, Glee Club, and the new school band. In the new auditorium a play entitled My Little Margie” was presented by the Dramatic Club. Members of the class who assisted, both on and off stage, were Martha Thompson, Robert Scott, Gail Hiaginbottom, Al Bianchi, Eileen Blomquist, Paul Ducharme, and Edwin Carlstrom. In April of 1954, we enthusiastically elected Phyllis Howard, Lee Hill, Ruth Easley, Al Bianchi, and Tony Anastation to be responsible for the selection of our class rings. Summer then rolled around and brought with it a much awaited vacation. Vacation over, we came back to school no longer classified as underclassmen. We were finally upperclassmen, and at our first class meeting, we decided to re-elect our sophomore class officers. Football season came quickly, and our representatives on the team were Ronald Stacy, Ronald Resseguie, Jim Cassidy, Leonard Norman, Edwin Carlstrom, and Norm Gonyea. The only member of the Junior class active on the basketball team was Norm Gonyea. Baseball season found Ronald Resseguie, and Norm Gonyea on the team. The track team was supported by Paul Rhodes, Jim Anthony, Stanley Hagberg, Jim Cassidy, Leonard Norman, Alan Reed, and Tony Anastation. Sports interested a large number of the girls, including Eileen Blomquist, Gerry Dubickas, Mary Hamilton, Phyllis Howard, Kathy Krumsiek, Marie Tift, Carol Wahlstrom, Janet Willand, and Judy Baldwin on the hockey team; Gerry Dubickas, Joyce Gregory, Gail Higginbottom, Janice Langway, Lee Hill, Kathy Krumsiek, Eleanor Larson, Virginia Mathieu, Mary Beth McGrath, Janet Willand, and Phyllis Howard on the basketball team; and Judy Baldwin, Nancy Borowick, Ruth Easley, Gail Higginbottom, Kathy Krumsiek, Janet Willand, Martha Sheehan, and Gerry Dubickas on the softball team. 22 The REFLECTOR was thriving, and we were fortunate in having Lee Hill, Mary Hamilton, Janet Novick, Eileen Blomquist, Judy Baldwin, Al Bianchi, Kay May, Janet Willand, Nancy Norman, Gerry Dubickas, Martha Thompson, and Marie Tift on the staff. Lee Hill, Tony Anastation, Janet Willand, Kay May, and Martha Thompson were our junior representatives to the Student Council. In the spring of 1955, a play entitled Men Are Like Streetcars was produced in our auditorium. Those juniors assisting in some way were Paul Ducharme, Phyllis Howard, Kathy Krumsiek, Stanley Hagberg, Anthony Anastation, Gerry Dubickas, Marie Tift, Joyce Toto, and Martha Thompson. P We boasted of Mary Hamilton, Phyllis Howard, Marie Tift, and Joyce Toto in the Talent Group. Many of the other juniors were active in French Club, Art Club, Glee Club, and Science Club. Why, we even had delegates on the Debating Team, and in the band. A big event of our third year in high school was the Junior Prom. Since much work and preparation were needed to make this a big success, we chose Janet Novick, Barbara St.John, Kenneth Russell, Phyllis Howard, Lee Hill, Diane Berthiaume, Ruth Easley, Paul Ducharme, Jim Cassidy, Marie Tift, Lorraine Lavallee, Roger Lavallee, Tony Anastation, Janet Willand, and Gerry Dubickas to be on the Prom Committee. Toward the end of the year, at a special spring assembly, Mr. Shea announced the Horace Mann Awards. Tony Anastat- ion was our only recipient. Finally summer came, and for many of us this was to be the last summer vacation we would have. We returned in the fall as seniors--the last step of our high school education. We busied ourselves almost immediately, and at the first class meeting our former class officers were re-instated. Sports still tempted many boys from our class. Onthis year's football team were Leonard Norman, Ronald Resseguie, Jim Cassidy, and Edwin Carlstrom, with Norm Gonyea as captain. Captain Norm Gonyea was the only senior active in basket- ball; and, as captain, he, Ronald Stacy, Ronald Resseguie, and Roger Lavallee starred on the baseball team. On the track team we were represented by Leonard Norman as captain, Paul Rhodes, Jim Anthony, Jim Cassidy, Stanley Hagberg, Alan Reed, and Tony Anastation. The senior girls were again eager sports enthusiasts. On the hockey team we had Marie Tift as captain, Eileen Blomquist, Gerry Dubickas, Mary Hamilton, Phyllis Howard, Kathy Krumsiek, Carol Wahlstrom, and Janet Willand. Representing our class on the basketball team were Gerry Dubickas and Janet Willand, co-captains; Joyce Gregory, Gail Higginbottom, Lee Hill, Kathy Krumsiek, Janice Langway, Eleanor Larson, Virginia Mathieu, and Mary Beth McGrath. Co-captains of the soft- ball team were Nancy Borowick and Kathy Krumsiek, supported by Janet Willand, Ruth Easley, and Lois Anderson. This year our cheerleaders, Eileen Blomquist and Marie Tift, were made co-captains of the cheering squad. Early in our senior year we elected Ronald Vaillancourt, Phyllis Howard, Ruth Easley, Tony Anastation, Kay May, and Paul Rhodes to choose a photographer for our senior year. We also elected the AFTERMATH staff, which consisted of Eileen Blom- quist as editor-in-chief, Phyllis Howard, Roger Lavallee, and Martha Thompson as assistant editors, Mary Hamilton and Janet Willand as associate editors, and Kay May as business manager: Paul Ducharme, Al Bianchi, Tony Anastation, Martha Thompson, and Jeanette Spirkowyc were chosen to serve on her committee. Phyllis Howard, Tony Anastation, Kay May, Martha Thompson, and Janet Willand were our senior delegates to the Stu- dent Council. Mary Hamilton, and Eileen Blomquist were made co-editors of the REFLECTOR; and assisting in the various de- partments we had Janet Novick, Phyllis Howard, Lee Hill, Joyce Gregory, Doris Bernard, Diane Berthiaume, Ruth Easley, Judy Baldwin, Edwin Carlstrom, Janet Willand, Nancy Norman, Gerry Dubickas, Kay May, Martha Thompson, and Marie Tift. The Senior Prom required much time and energy. Members of the Prom Committee who made this dance a big success in- cluded Mary Hamilton, Janet Novick, Barbara St.John, Kenneth Russell, Phyllis Howard, Lee Hill, Paul Ducharme, Jim Cassidy Roger Lavallee, Alan Reed, Tony Anastation, Nancy Norman, Gerry Dubickas, Carol Dunn, Kay May, Marie Tift, Leonard Norman, and Janice Langway. A Science Fair, a new feature added to the year's activities of M.M.H.S., was held in March. Seniors contributing to this Fair were Mary Hamilton, Roger Nettelbladt, Nancy Borowick, Tony Anastation, Jim Cassidy, Kay May, Janet Willand, Paul Ducharme, Judy Baldwin, Edwin Carlstrom, and Jeanette Spirkowyc. Tony Anastation and Edwin Carlstrom were chosen as the winners. During that same month, Mr. Beaton announced that Tony Anastation, Diane Berthiaume, Betty Cross, Edwin Carlstrom, Ruth Easley, Janet Willand, Janice Woodward, and Jeanette Spirkowyc were members of the Senior Honor Group. From this group the following were chosen as graduation speakers: Tony Anastation, Diane Berthiaume, Betty Cross, and Janet Willand. Tony Anastation was once again our sole recipient of the Horace Mann Award. Class Day speakers were then chosen, and the results were as follows: Prophet, Ruth Easley; Giver of Gifts, Joyce Toto; Statistician, Phyllis Howard; Testator, Al Bianchi; Recorder of Omissions and Corrections, Alan Reed; and Historian, Jean- ette Spirkowyc. On the Motto Committee were Martha Thompson, Leonard Norman, Jim Cassidy, Joanne Friberg, and Mary Beth McGrath. Marie Tift, Elaine Gravel, and Alan Reed were elected to write our class song. Our D.A.R. representative was Phyllis Howard. In April of 1956, twenty-six seniors traveled to Washington, D.C., for an interesting sightseeing trip. Seniors on the trip were Mary Hamilton, Lee Hill, Nancy Borowick, Mary Beth McGrath, Martha Thompson, Joyce Gregory, Arthur Vartanian, Tony Anastation, Stanley Hagberg, Leonard Norman, Jim Cassidy, Janice Langway, Eleanor Larson, Carol Wahlstrom, Paul Rhodes, Carol Dunn, Elaine Gravel, Joyce Toto, Gail Higginbottom, Betty Cross, Alan Reed, Jim Anthony, Judy Baldwin, Edwin Carlstrom, Pauline Cournoyer, and Jeanette Spirkowyc. Members of the senior class who served as members of the cast of the Dramatic Club Play, Ghost Wanted, were Tony Anastation, Stanley Hagberg, Martha Thompson, Joyce Toto, and Jeanette Spirkowyc. Thus, our activities have come to an end, and our high school years are concluded. These four years will not be easily forgotten by anyone of us. Now we are separating, each one going his own way. May each member of the Class of '56 ex- perience as much success in the future as he has experienced in the years past. Jeanette Spirkowyc a3 24 Class Prophecy It is now the year 1970, and much has happened in the years since I graduated from Millbury Memorial High School in 1956. Through the ingenuity and efforts of the members of my class, the town of Millbury has become one of the leading industrial cities of New England. Millbury City covers the area that we once knew as the towns of Grafton, Millbury, and Sutton! Come with me into the future, and we'll be conducted on atour of Millbury City. You'll be sur- prised at the changes. Our first stop is at City Hall. I'd like to introduce you to the mayor, Mr. Anthony Anastation. He and City Manager James Cassidy are to be congratulated for the efficient way our city is governed. Women are now very prominent in the politics of our city. Carol Westerman, Betty Whitten, and Janet Novick are on the School Committee. Lorraine Lavallee and Joan Pierce are our tax collectors, and Beverly Fredette is the dog catcher. The University of Millbury is preparing for the annual Turkey Day football game with the University of Northbridge. The Millbury team, coached by rugged Norm Gonyea, is expected to be the victor. At the university you'll meet French Professor Clotilda DeMoras and Chemistry Professor Nancy Borowick. Many members of this class have established their own places of business at the modern Shopper's World, which covers most of the area we once knew as the town of Grafton. Paul Ducharme is a pharmacist in the Rexall Drug Store, and Kathleen Plaud is employed as a fashion designer at the Haynes Brothers' Department Store. This is only one of a chain of stores owned and operated by David and John Haynes. Ruth Brink and Joanne Friberg own a restaurant known as the Flying Cup. Following the family tradition, Mary.-Hamilton is manager of the A P store, and right next door Mary Beth McGrath sells dairy products from Joe Raad's dairy farm. Lenny Norman has a store which he calls Lenny's Paradise for Fish. He has many tropical and fresh- water fish from which to choose. Phyllis Howard and Claire Army operate a beauty salon. We continue our tour to the newly-built City Hospital of which we are very proud. This building was designed by Geraldine Dubickas, and the hospital was built by the Arthur Vartanian Construction Company. Dr. Catharine May, one of the founders of the O-May Clinic, is now at City Hospital. You will recognize some of the registered nurses as Doris Bernard, Virginia Mathieu, Jeanette Spirkowyc, and Janet Willand. A popular night club of Millbury City is Mr. J's , owned by Jimmy Anthony. Currently on the program are Nancy Norman, the trapeze tap dancer; Joyce Toto, popular singer; and concert violinist Elaine Gravel, accompanied on the piano by Marie Tift. We shall proceed to the vicinity of Dorothy Pond, where numerous changes have taken place. Al Bianchi's Pizza House has attracted many gourmets. Ronnie Dunn and Roger Nettelbladt are lifeguards at Dorothy Beach. If you care to go fishing Eddie Dulmaine will rent you a yacht by the hour or day. As the tourist bus continues through the city, you will be amazed at the many industries that have literally sprung up overnight. To enumerate---Eddie Genis owns an automobile factory, a branch of Pratt and Whitney is managed by Kenneth Russell, Helen White and Shirley Gauvin have teamed up to operate a factory that makes cosmetics, and Barbara St.John manufact- ures the clothes that she designs. A large insurance company has erected a building that em- ploys many girls from the class of '56. The Personnel Manager is Gail Higginbottom. Other ladies in responsible positions are Carol Faron, Claudia Gardner, Janice Woodward, and Virginia Luikey. Lunch is being served at Martha Sheehan's cozy little restaurant. Remember the old days when Martha worked at Donovan's? She liked it so well that she opened her own restaurant with Lois Anderson as chef. After lunch, if there is time, perhaps we could stop to talk to Roger Lavallee, the friendly undertaker, and Gloria Jacques, who is his secretary. At the Millbury City Public Library we will meet another classmate, Eileen Blomquist, head librarian. Diane Berthiaume is in charge of the Bramanville branch of the library. We will be guided through the Natural History Museum by Eunice Gallant. Betty Cross, president of the oldest bank in the city, has as her assistants Betty Jacobson and Carol Dunn. The Vaillancourt airport is located on the site of the former Windle airport. Ronnie Vaillan- court, Owner, is kind enough to permit us to inspect a jet passenger plane that is about ready.to take off. Bob Scott is pilot, and Robert Gosselin is co-pilot. Stewardesses on this flight are Lee Hill, Judy Baldwin, and Joyce Gregory. Unfortunately you won't be able to meet each member ot our class personally, for a few are not living in Millbury City now. Martha Thompson is the first woman governor of Mass- achusetts, and she is at the State House performing her numerous duties. Stanley Hagberg and Edwin Carlstrom are ambassadors to Sweden. Judy Paille, Pauline Roux, Jane Vostok, and Carol Wahlstrom are employed as private secretaries in the Pentagon Building in Washington. Janice Langway, Eleanor Larson, and Pauline Cournoyer have perfected their giggle, and it is now being used on many comedy shows as canned laughter. Janet Graves is a member of the Women's Air Force stationed in Texas. Members of our class are also making their mark on the sports' world. Ronald Resseguie is starring for the Boston Red Sox, Paul Rhodes is famous as a midget wrestler, Kathleen Krumsiek is playing for the Boston Celtics girls' basketball team, and Alan Reed is in rough competition for the three-minute mile. This concludes our session of gazing through the crystal ball into the future of the Class of '56. Although much of this prophecy may not come true, it symbolizes the dreams that young America has today. We are now venturing into the world to make these dreams come true.
