Probably at no time in f world history has there been so much experimental and in many instances J confused thinking, as has been prevalent in your lifetime. Some of this thinking has been individualistic and some has been on a national scale. There are certain rules which neither an individual nor a nation may violate, and ex¬ pect any lasting prosperity, success or fame. The brotherhood of man is not furthered by inciting class hatred. The weak are not strengthened by weakening the strong. Courage and character are not built by taking away initiative and independence. It is not possible to stay out of trouble by consistently spending more than your income. Prosperity does not result from the discouraging of thrift. The wage earner cannot be lifted by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. Within your memory many individuals and some nations have attempted to disregard these truths, and in many cases with unfortunate results. There is still only one road to success, and the following lines by an author whose name escapes me at the moment, very nicely outlines the thought I wish to convey to you. “The road Success he longed to find— But not a highway was so signed. He thought to glory there must be A level path that he should see, But every road to which he came Possessed a terrifying name. He never thought Success might lurk Along the dreary path called Work. He never thought to go and see What marked the road called Industry.. Because it seemed so rough and high He passed the road to Service by. Yet had he taken either way He might have reached Success some day. With these parting words, I want you to know that I have enjoyed working with you as a class, and on behalf of my teachers and myself I extend to you our most sincere wishes for your future happiness. But in the final analysis please remember that in yourselves your future lies. Alvah G. Hayes , Principal THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL THE FACULTY Alvah G.

How many people today I tell us that? Columnists, army generals, secretaries of our military defenses, J| even our President. Is it inevitable that after every war, another one begins to brew? Is it a normal, healthy reaction to prepare for a war two years after one slaughter has ended? Most emphatically no! Yet according to the prominent and even the not-so-prominent people of our day we must fight a war with Russia—not to rid the world of the terrible menace of Communism—but to show her who’s boss! We must set up Universal Military Training to be prepared in the event of another war; we must cease attempting to compromise with headstrong Russia; we must increase our output of atomic bombs; we must guard exclusively our secret of manufacturing atomic bombs from every other nation in the world. Are we being over-ridden by Russia or by any other country, or are we doing the over-riding and antagonizing? Are we striving to maintain world peace or are we willing to enter into another war from which no nation will or can arise? Is it easier and cheaper in lives and money to engage in an atomic war than to iron out difficulties in such beneficial projects as the United Nations Organiza¬ tion and the Marshall Plan? The answer to that again is nol There is no difficulty too great to surmount in order to avert that nefarious method of slaughtering the young men and wo¬ men of our country—war! The millions of lives lost, and billions of dollars squandered are dismissed lightly by avid radicals who forget that we have just fought a war for justice and peace. They forget that the number of children who have died in Europe today as an aftermath of World War II far exceeds the number of boys who died in the first five days of the war itself. They forget that if atomic bombs are used to fight another war, the whole world will be affected radioactively for hundreds of years after. Every war in our history could have been averted by peaceful, reasonable negotiation and compromise around a peace table. In 1775 if England had not suppressed and subjugated her thirteen American Colonies with unjust taxation and had recognized the rights of Americans, there would not have been a Revo¬ lutionary War. In 1812 if fiery-minded young Americans had not cast covetous glances at Canada and the profits of the fur trade, there would not have been the War of 1812. In 1861 if the narrow-minded intolerant South had been willing to compro¬ mise with President Lincoln, he would have been more than willing to maintain slavery in order to preserve the Union, and thus prevent the Civil War. In 1914 if Germany had been willing to jtiate peacefully with the other 1 7 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL greedy nations instead of marching into and seizing control of smaller ones and their profits, the First World War would have been averted. After the peace was declared in 1918, if the United States and the other nations had worked as zealously to perfect the League of Nations and to free it of flaws and weak spots as they did to force Germany to submit to their revenge by imposing upon her their exorbitant demands as victorious nations, the Second World War might have been averted. And if we today think only of the fanfares and bugle calls of battle, we will have started World War III. But if we, along with every other nation, strive to remove all ineffective policies of our peace organization, by being as tireless in our offorts to prevent wars as we are in fighting them, we will have achieved that One World of Wilkie’s with no more thoughts of future conflicts, but only of harmonious peace, prosperity, and true progress. Louise R. Consoli SALUTATORY ESSAY Break That Line! I ET us go back to the beginning of our nation. Certain groups seeking refuge here from discriminations in their own countries brought with them the spirit of faith, hope, persistence, love, co-operation and an eye constantly viewing the fruitful future. However, they also sowed the seeds of hateful preju¬ dice when they set up the slave trade, which incorporated in this country a lowly class of people subjugated to their white masters who cared little for them when they were working, and even less when they were not. A superior attitude was readily, easily, and naturally exercised over them—a superiority that was taught to succeeding generations and inscribed upon their hearts. As the nation expanded, crises after crises arose to determine to what extent this slavery would be carried out. Finally, after the Civil War ended in 1865, slavery was abolished, which meant this dark-skinned race, held in bondage for so long, was now free. Nevertheless, freedom in actual practice was something quite different from a declarative freedom. The free man needed a home for himself and his family, he needed work to support himself, he needed friends to help him, but he searched in vain to fulfill his needs. The door was closed to him everywhere. Slowly, as the years progressed, that door was opened a crack —a crack and no more. A few tried to help him open it wider, but there was an immovable wedge on the other side with no way to reach it. Why do we persist to degrade the Negro? Because he lives in the slovenly holes of the city or town where no one else would live, because he is illiterate, because his appearance is one of filth, tatters, slackness and laziness. Is it also because we are truly afraid to let him come into our sphere of life? We rapidly thrust the Negro into the sea of destitution, but have we even tried to throw in a life line to help him save himself? Have we offered or even allowed him a decent education to overcome his illiteracy and make him a better citizen? Have we given him a chance to do decent work that will enable him to 18 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL live on a decent standard? No, we have just let him alone, saying alone, saying aloud or silently, “He has lived in the mud and mire so long, he has accustomed himself to it and would not appreciate any beneficial advances.” We proclaim loud disapproval of his attempts to join our business world, and yet we un- questioningly eat the food he has produced and prepared for our table. Very often we refuse to let him display his talents for entertaining; still we allow him to smooth the wrinkles from our hotel-room bed. We frown on his holding politi¬ cal office, but we called for him to protect us and defend our country. We certainly cannot boast of a truly great democracy when we are suppress¬ ing voters of some parts of the country. Most Negroes in these sections resent very bitterly their denial of the ballot, agreeing with Langston Hughes, a Negro po et, when he said the Negro “must pay taxes but refrain from going to the polls, must patriotically accept conscription to work, fight, and perhaps die, to regain or maintain freedom for people in Europe and Australia when he hasn’t it himself at home.” It is easy to advocate changes, but how to bring these changes about is a difficult proposition. How can we change such long-standing traditionally ac¬ cepted views? Could a law possibly convert these deep-rooted prejudices over¬ night, or must we construct and labor with a long range plan of education— education of the Negro, and education of his oppressor? It is up to this generation, as the leaders of tomorrow, to instruct and lead the coming generation from the worn channel of prejudice, to help them remove that wedge on the other side of the door. We must lead them to a friendly future of co-operation, neighborliness and true democracy shared with their fellow- men regardless of their color. June A. Schmottlach CLASS ESSAY Success J UST what is success? Since in our rapid, twentieth-century life most people judge men by their success, we should understand what is the real meaning of the word Success. For some, the height of success is a huge accumula¬ tion of wealth. How they accumulated it concerns them little. Others believe that high standing in society is a successful goal. Their social preeminence may be achieved to their outward satisfaction, but they can usually remember a long battle which brought their victory. The power over men that comes from politi¬ cal control is a third successful achievement. However, these definitions are only outward signs of success. In my opinion a man is a success who never compromises his ideals, who never loses sight of his goal. He is generous in thought and never imputes unworthy motives to others. He has one ambition or desire in view which makes the ascending path he must travel a rocky, but satisfying one. This goal, however, must be a noble one. Lincoln began his upward climb by the fire of a crude, Kentucky log-cabin. His one consuming thought was to read and learn of life outside his meager back- 19 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL ground. After years of personal conflict he reached his peak as President of the United States. A man is a success who is patient in adversity, clean of mind and heart, and who has the poise to accept the blinding honors of the world for what they are worth. In the campaign of 1928, on the night of the elections, A1 Smith was sitting by his radio with his family listening to the returns come in. When the returns from the Bronx clearly showed that he was defeated, he jauntily put on his brown derby and led his family upstairs to cut his wife’s birthday cake. He succeeded that night by his calm acceptance of the majority decision of his fellow citizens far more than if he had been elected President. Those who are not averse to play with gusto a humble part are the most successful of all. Emily Dickenson said, “Success is counted sweetest by those who ne’er succeed.” I believe she meant “those who ne’er succeed” in the eyes of the world. There is the mother and father who scrimp and slave to give their children what they would like them to have. Who dream dreams not for them¬ selves but for their offspring who, they hope, will accomplish what they them¬ selves were not able to do. This mother and father will not go down in history, but their sacrifices will be engraved forever in the hearts of their children who alone will pay tribute to their memory. The poet Wordsworth drew in lines of stirring beauty the true picture of real success when he told of his ideal man who “Looks forward, persevering to the last, From well to better, daily self-surpassed; Who, whether praise of him must walk the earth Forever, and to noble deeds give birth, Or he must fall to sleep without his fame, And leave a dead, unprofitable name— Finds comfort in himself and in his cause; And, while the mortal mist is gathering, draws His breath in confidence of Heaven’s applause— This is the happy Warrior; this is he That every man in arms should wish to be.” Mary-Clare Hickey CLASS ORATION In Ourselves Our Future Lies | HE way in which we react to the teaching of our homes and our schools will determine the future of ourselves and of our country. When we were young J children, our parents began the moulding of our characters. They taught us, first of all, what was right and what was wrong. They taught us to be honest. If we did something wrong and told the truth about it, our punishment would be less severe. They taught us to be efficient in whatever we were doing. For 20 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL instance, when we helped our parents do odd jobs, we were taught never to leave a part of a task undone. When we left the task, it was completed and all the equipment was put in its proper place. They taught us good manners, a thing which is very essential if we wish to obtain social recognition in later life. As we went on into school, the school continued the teaching of our parents. But we began gradually to have a mind of our own. Either we have the will to learn or we haven’t. The schools teach us to be accurate. It is one thing to have speed, another thing to have accuracy, as we find out in mathematics. How¬ ever, if we do not have the intention of becoming accurate in our work, the school cannot make us accurate. The schools try to build in us a sense of re¬ sponsibility. They give us an assignment and a date at which this assignment is to be handed in. They leave us responsible for completing the assignment on time and they deduct from the mark in proportion to our degree of tardiness in submitting the assignment. Again, however, they can only teach us to be re¬ sponsible. We must learn. In later life, we will reflect the teaching of our parents and of the schools. What kind of job shall we get if we cannot display a well-balanced personality? How long could a secretary hold a job if she did not have the accuracy which was taught to her in school or the manners which were taught to her by her par¬ ents? How far would any workman climb if he did not have some sense of re¬ sponsibility? We would be outcasts of society if we didn’t make use of the man¬ ners taught to us by our parents. Therefore it is ourselves, and ourselves alone, that shall determine our own individual futures. We also have a future that will include all of us together, a future that will determine whether we are to be a free people or a slave peo¬ ple—the future of the United States of America. We, the children of today, are the ones who shall determine whether this nation will remain a democratic nation or be crushed under the claws of the Russian bear! In determining this future, we must have a strong sense of responsibility. Each and every one of us must turn to the teaching of our schools and of our parents, for we are the ones who shall run the government and the business of this country. How can we determine how we should deal with Russia if we do not know how other countries have succeeded in similar conditions of the past? Our schools have taught us this, but have we learned? When we go to the polls to elect the men who will run this country, what kind of men shall we vote for? If we have a strong enough sense of responsibility, we shall have followed each man throug hout his career, and we shall elect the man who will manage the coun¬ try most shrewdly during critical periods. If we have another war, how shall we react if and when we win? Shall we be fair enough in our dealings with other countries so that one nation will not have the power to veto all acts of lasting peace? These problems can be solved only by us. We can make or break this liberty that our ancestors fought so hard to preserve. We can make it by opening our eyes to the advice given to us by the past. We can break it by turning away from our teachings and going blindly into the hands of Joseph Stalin. 21 Philip H.Greenler THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL CLASS HISTORY RELUCTANTLY we come to the close of our high school days after many m years of sharing the work and fun of all our classmates. Taking class pic- J J tures, selecting class colors, choosing our song, and dedicating our year book all mean a lot to us, but what we really regret is something much finer. As we all go our separate ways in life, we begin to unravel that closely knit bond of friendship which has been created within us through many years of daily rou¬ tine. “In ourselves our future lies,” but fond recollections of our past class days will linger. The glorious day in September of 1944 had at last arrived, and we found our¬ selves falling into the routine of high school life. We, too, at first found the system of bells, rooms and teachers confusing, but we soon accustomed our¬ selves to dear Johnson. We quickly buckled down to studies and all the other problems that go with high school life, and elected our class officers. On Pete White was bestowed the honor of being class president, an honor which he held for the remaining four years. Andy Alvino was our vice-president and Virginia Gaudet, our first secretary-treasurer. Soon October 20th arrived, and the seniors welcomed us at a dance held in our honor. Our freshman boys, following in the footsteps of the seniors, found it difficult to adjust themselves to this new sort of social life. The football team, coached by Mr. Lee, got off to a poor start, but the games drew large crowds of eager frosh. The band, led by Mr. Murray, was also a great moral support. Volley ball made its appearance for the first time with Miss Hunt, a new mem¬ ber of our faculty, as instructor. This year welcomed Miss Virginia Bascom to J. H. S. Early in October we campaigned for the Curtis Company to win a bronze plaque in memory of Johnson’s service men. On May 8th, the war be¬ ing over in Germany, Mr. Hayes quieted us by a serious address on “War and Its Consequences.” We returned in the fall with the experience and the sophistication of sopho¬ mores, casting a scornful glance at the freshmen. This year Joe Guthrie ac¬ cepted the office of vice-president, holding this honor for the remaining three years. Virginia Gaudet was still our very capable secretary-treasurer. Much to our amazement we found the cafeteria remodeled into a kitchen and Room 2 converted into a dining room. At this time Miss Madeline Gillen, Mrs. Natalie Manson, Miss Ruth Callanan, and Miss Betty James came to grace our faculty. This year we welcomed our veterans of World War 2, all of whom proved to be “brains.” A new social feature was added to the J. H. S. social calendar. This was Stunt Night, in which all classes participated. Through the cooperation of our helpful and willing principal, Mr. Hayes, noonday dancing was introduced and provided us with a new form of relaxation. We entered our junior year in September, 1946, with the confidence and dig¬ nity of upper classmen. Bernie Gosselin was secretary-treasurer for her first time. We welcomed Jack Kooistra into our class. He proved to be a great foot- 97 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL ball player and one of our class heartbreakers. As one of the high lights of our junior year, we ventured to Boxford in hay covered trucks and with plenty of school spirit. You all remember, hm-m-m? The club programs, adopted by Student Council, provided an escape from the dull monotony of our classes. The climax of our junior year was the annual prom, which many of us attended. The hall gleamed in nautical designs which proved to be very delightful. As summer vacation drew to a close, we eagerly, but rather sadly, looked forward to our last year at school. We now walked the corridors with an air of distinction, of prestige, which we had acquired during our four years. Nancy Connell was elected secretary-treasurer. Again, in our senior year, we won a new member. George Clasby joined our ranks. His easy going nature, his good looks, and his pleasing personality captured many friends. In October we feted the freshmen with a successful dance in their honor. Dancing, ping-pong, and badminton were added to the host of activities provided by Student Council. Under the supervision of home room representatives, a savings program was be¬ gun, sponsored by the Andover Savings Bank. The kids certainly did their part. “Do you know how to drive?” was the question asked by Mr. Fanning and Mr. O’Day of the Registry of Motor Vehicles when they proposed a driver education program. Many students responded to this, but unfortunately nothing came of it. A concert, sponsored by the P. T. A. for the benefit of a high school band, was conducted in February through the cooperation of the student body. The concert proved to be very beneficial. The Prom Benefit Dance was one of our best dances this year. To climax this we were given a grand version of Four Leaf Clover by Dice, Pete, Andy, and Bob Wilkinson. As we leave old Johnson High, some will look light-heartedly to the future, while others will strive for success. Yet as we climb that difficult pathway to our future lives, we begin to realize that school was not all hard work and toil¬ some drudgery, but actually exciting and carefree fun. Let us always remember those happy school days that we have shared together. Respectfully submitted, Champ and Pete CLASS WILL III E, the Class of 1948, who are still of sane mind and body even after 1 y I four years of plugging, believing ourselves to be the most outstanding, charming and brilliant class to ever walk the corridors of J. H. S., do hereby, hereon, and henceforth, bequeath, endow, will, leave, and bestow, upon those lucky juniors our magnetic, overpowering charms, our brilliant minds, and our unique leadership. To dear old Johnson we leave our thanks for fond, and otherwise, memories. To Mr. Hayes and Mr. Donovan we give our appreciation for such unusual understanding throughout our four years. 23 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL To Miss Gillen we give our assurance that we shall try to carry out our day¬ dreams that have taken up many an hour to discuss. To Miss Cook we leave our regrets for the many confusing moments caused from a missing or overdue library book. To the juniors goes our sorrow that they can never quite reach the high stand¬ ards of our class. Also that they don’t have the ingenious methods of finding mischief, that we did. Bennie Vose leaves those pretty flowing tresses along with her “new-look skirt” to Connie Calabrese. Nancy Connell leaves her deceivingly quiet ways to Pat Cole, and to Marie DeSimone goes some of her bright sense of humor. Now you girls can amble into everyone’s heart as Nancy did. Bill Driscoll passes on to Buster Dearden his ways of pulling out of the line and getting nowhere fast. For a little man he did a mighty big job. June Hamilton bequeaths to Mary Finn and Jackie Merserve her clear sweet voice, her place in the cafeteria which she has held for four years, and her ability to ' ‘roll them dice.” Kenny Clark leaves to Joe Doherty and John Arlit his genius for getting caught every time he tried to smuggle in some fun when the teacher wasn’t looking. Barbara Gillespie leaves her sweet and simple nature to Connie Chadwick. Also her love for cheese, the stronger the better, goes to Jane Leighton. Bill MacCannell leaves to John Pearson those two sweet dimples that every girl envies. Barb Marshall and Pat Scanlon gladly pass on to the Junior Class in general their complete Domestic Arts books that they labored so hard at. John Wolfenden passes his wolfish and winning ways to Timmy Driscoll and Squeak Enaire. No fairs on Grace, though, boys. Louise Consoli, (Johnson’s Information Please Bureau) bequeaths to Janet Knightly the honor of being Editor-in-Chief of the Johnson Journal, Editor of the Gobbler, and also bestows upon her some of that enormous supply of knowl¬ edge. Marion Etchells will not leave Red, but she will whisper to Charlotte Killam her secret successful technique on how to hold a steady. Although from all re¬ ports, we don’t think Charlotte needs it. Barb Cooney, our own cheerful personality kid, wills to Helen Hogan and Margaret Petell that contagious little snicker that brightens up many a dull day. To Robert DeAdder and Charlotte Hutton goes an artistic hand from Paul Adler. Charlie Auer leaves his “getting along” technique with a certain physics teacher to Earl Simon. Here’s hoping you like physics, Simon. To Margie Schofield, Muriel Schofield grants the numerous mix-ups and con¬ fusions resulting from “M. Schofield report to the office.” Since Margie already has blond hair, Muriel keeps her own. Bernie Gosselin reluctantly passes on to Norma Legare her weekly excur- 24 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL sions to Crystal which come with her famed title, Best Girl Dancer. Now you’ll be able to lift “them golden slippers.” Vi Nicosia, the busy bee, bequeaths her buzzing to Justine Fitzgerald, who we are sure won’t need this to be always busy. To Joan Reilly goes Lucy Gucciardi’s fine footwork on the basket-ball court. We know with Joan’s fine ability as guard, this added talent for forward will bring a bright new star to Johnson. Cyn Ebersbach and Jan Fessenden pass on to Helen Hilse their everlasting conversation which has found many ears. We’re sure Helen will be pleased, as our chatterboxes have won many friends with their talkative ways. Now, Helen, you have two chatterboxes, along with your accordion. Dick Jordan wills to Rollie Baker his success with his car. Now his only leaks oil, and Dick’s....??? Jack Kooistra willingly gives his rosy cheeks and maidenly way of blushing to Francis Rivet, Jack Lawlor, and any girl that has lost the art. Elaine Champion bequeaths her excellent leadership, as co-head cheer leader, as co-captain of basketball, and as most popular girl to Joan Connors. Grace Stewart gladly accepts Champ’s vivaciousness and lovable personality to add to her own sweet one. Ruth Turner and June Schmottlach will their successful study habits to Joan Legare. Rose Torrisi leaves her debating ability to Bill Smith. This is quite an art, Bill, as Rosie can still argue with you and remain friends all the while, which few people can do. Marie Broderick passes on to Helen Hilse her learnings and experiences on “Handling The Ship.” Anchors aweigh! Archie Cousins wills his deep voice to Arthur Forgetta. Did we hear Arthur comment, “I’m feeling mighty low!” A few inches of height and a little of that friendly grin go to Jimmy Tam- agnine, from Rich Gravel. Alva Eldridge leaves his good manners plus his numerous trips on his motor bike to Chuck Robinton and Charlie Roebuck. Bob Driscoll gives to Joe Driscoll his punctual habits, also his contribution of another Driscoll to add to the confusion of all the Driscolls. Ed Brown bestows upon Bill Ness his fancy end around. Keep up the good work, Bill. Marie Galvagna, Fran Ippolito, and Laura Mangano gladly give their ever¬ lasting hike up Mass. Avenue to anyone that thinks he can do it. They inform us not to waste any efforts on a new school bus for the Mass. Avenue gang, as they are all in vain. Upon Louise Finn and Joan Leighton, Jean Mahoney bestows those many animal growls and whistles that have followed her footsteps—wolves we mean. Chuck Nicosia leaves his many hot and heavy arguments with Miss Bascom to Jack Kasheta and Dick Ganley. Irene Auer wills her ability to run Friday morning candy parties, 4th period, 25 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL to Mary Maude. Just be careful not to get caught rolling the candy on the floor. Jessie Gucciardi leaves her truck to any girl that has the strength to push it up Mass. Avenue with no gas in it. But she doesn’t leave her driver’s license to anyone. Since she tried to teach many of us how to drive, she has learned we need the experience. Pete White bestows upon Fred Soucy the honor of being class president for four years, his popularity, and the thousand and one other accomplishments he has achieved, one of them being how to be handsome, popular and yet keep the girls an arm’s distance away. Oh yeah! Margaret Twomey bequeaths some of that twinkle in her eyes and that sparkling smile to Ann Whipple. To Eunice Minzer, Jackie Lundgren gives her good-nature that has given us lots of laughs. George Clasby, the woman hater, (are we kidding!!!), leaves his Jimmy Stew¬ art characteristics to Don Farrow. Nancy Ballantyne wills to Martha Kane that pleasant and soothing calm attitude about everything in general. This even includes French! Phil Greenler gives his nonchalant attitude when it comes to anything re¬ quiring brain-work to Jimmy Green and Bob Longbottom. To Dave Kelley and John O’Melia go the many beauties of the outdoors along with Phil’s care of the cows. Dot Black and Mary Chamberlin, the famous duet, grant to Joan Finn, Nancy Mulvey and Jackie Adams their everlasting friendship with their quiet and charming qualities. To Finneran and Fleming, John MacCannell bequeaths his bright ties for all occasions. Claire Canty bestows upon Kay O’Keefe some of that constant good humor; Claire has an inexhaustible supply. To Irene Roberts she passes on her movie passes she received from the Sunday Sun, also the work that goes along with it, Joe Winning wills his fuzzy hair and way of fascinating females to John Shellnut. Claire Kelleher and Marion Curley bequeath to Mary Ranfone their success at exhibiting an innocent expression at all times. Mary Claire Hickey draws a few notes on her fiddle to soothe Grace Petell when her nerves are on edge and also gives up her place as third top honor student. Andy Alvino wills his spot at the smoking hole to Tommy Driscoll. We hope you’ll be as succesful in your dodging career as Andy was. To-Ruth Davis, Shirley Wilcox, the little girl with the big heart, bestows her endless supply of energy and her talented fingers on the ivory. Ginny Gaudet leaves to Kathleen Overend her beloved place in math, class. Also her ability to dash into Room 8 two minutes after the last bell has rung. Leon Wood endows Robert Finn and Arnold Sarcione with his flying fingers on the typewriter. 26 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL The Senior Class leaves all its dilapidated books to Cornelis Heijn and Dick Hilton. Gus Weigel and Buddy Cyr reluctantly give up their successful leadership as co-captains to Don Farrow and Jimmy Kennedy. Joan Driscoll bequeaths her pretty Irish eyes to Vera Sullivan and her suc¬ cessful cure for insomnia to Jane Driscoll, this cure being only forty-five minutes in a D. A. class. Ethel Lambert bequeaths to Joan Diamont those big beautiful brown eyes. We hope Joan knows how to use them as Ethel did. Since Teddy Farrell won’t need his super-special ear for hearing the NO¬ SCHOOL signal on bright sunny Monday mornings, he leaves it to Dale Mac- Arthur and Gordon Marshall. Teddy tells Mac and Gordon he doesn’t want this work of art wasting away; it took him a long time to perfect it. Mary Shottes and Pat Currier leave their quiet and dignified careers in school to Sheila Cronin. Arthur Awley leaves his talents and moral support for the band to Rich Mooradkanian. Jack Dolan leaves his 10 EASY LESSONS on how to get along with women and still call them fat, to quiet Bill Connell and Gilly Lundquist. Heart Breaker Joe Guthrie leaves to Harold Bamford and Ronald Casale his way with the opposite sex and yet how to stay popular with his own. Bill Hanscom leaves his nerve to Ken Howard to stand behind the vicious bat. More power to you, Ken. Gloria MacCoy bequeaths her happy-go-lucky nature and rippling laughter to Dot Conte. Don Shackleton wills his pitching arm to Norman Humphries. Success on the mound to you, Norman old boy. Eleanor George, the advocate of what the well-dressed girl wears, leaves her knowledge to Joanne Legare. And, last but by no means least, Evie Mitchell bequeaths to Dot Dushame the days she just forgot she had gym, and to Judith Chadwick her everlasting love of horses. Now we make like the trees and leave, like the women and take a powder, and finally put an egg in our shoes and beat it before anyone catches us. Margie and Bob CLASS PROPHECY PROPHET, Prophet, 0 Mighty Prophet, I have come to these an¬ cient Egyptian hills to seek your help. The whole world is acquainted with your rare gift of foretelling events, and I have come as an em¬ issary of the Class of 1948 at Johnson High School to seek your assistance. Could you delve into the future and tell me what each member of the class will be do¬ ing twenty years from now?” “0 r 27 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL “I have been awaiting your arrival for a long, long time. I have here in this small chest everything that you will need. You may take it back home with you, but you must promise me not to open it until you have reached your own land. I have my reasons for requesting this. I must leave you now, but before I depart I would like to wish the members of your class the best of happiness and success.” —Well, since I am back home in North Andover, I guess it is all right to open the chest. Why, here is a long scroll inside and the date reads 1968. Look at this! Louise Consoli is the first woman President of the United States, and the two most outstanding members of her cabinet are June Schmott- lach, the first woman Secretary of State and Leon Wood, Secretary of Agri¬ culture. It also says that the country has never enjoyed such peace and harmony as under this new administration. Marie Galvagna, Phil Greenler and Richard Jordan, the most brilliant phys¬ icists of the century, have just discovered a new serum so complicated that they themselves can’t even find a use for it. Joe Guthrie and Pete White have established a chain of dancing schools all over the country and even in parts of Europe, Bernie Gosselin is their chief in¬ structor.

Her jokes may be corny But to us they’re still “funny” And to say that I know her I’m proud. We have a teacher, Miss Bascom, Who thinks George Clasby is handsome; She wears a cameo pin, That sends us in a spin; But our friend she has become. There’s a girl in our class named Bennie, She’s not even the least bit henny, She may like apple pie, But her one passion is Ty. “Oh he’s wonderful,” sighs our Bennie. —N. B. I know a girl named Bernie Who likes to go on journeys. Usually to Boston Most likely gets lost in Not saying where, am I, Bernie? A very nice guy we call Bill, Sweeps dirty floors with a will. If there are jobs to be done, When all have had their fun, And no one will do them, then Bill will. —R. T. I know a girl named Claire, Who certainly is mighty fair, With charm galore, She’s never a bore, This wonderful classmate called Claire. There is a teacher named Cook Who told us to read a book. That was in September, Now it is December, And I still haven’t started the book. I know a young lady named Cyn Who is full of vigor and vim. Of friends she has many And I don’t know any, Who don’t know this girl named Cyn. We all know a fellow called Dick Who is just an old country hick. He’ll take his jalope Which no one can stoppe, And bounce up and down till he’s sick. A charming young lady is El We wish her fine wardrobe she’d sell; She is friendly and glorious Her baseball’s notorious, All her friends could undoubtedly tell. —L. C. I know a girl named Evie, For her size she is not very heavy. She can ride any horse, Of it she’s the boss, And treasures it more than a Chevy. —M. C. H. Hustle, bustle, to and fro, Hear her busy chatter flow; She’s in and out Around and about; That’s Bernie Gosselin you know! There was a young fellow named Gus, In Senior Social he caused a fuss, Till Miss Bascom once said, “Weigel, please use your head,” But he would just sit there and cuss. The Admiral is quite a lass. She sure has lots of class. She is a Jickey For her name is Hickey. Here’s hoping she sails before the mast. —J. K. There once was a fellow named Jack Who rode on a wild broncho’s back. The broncho got mad, The ending is sad, For nothing can bring back our Jack. —D. B. We know a girl named Jess Whose faults we never will confess. Her jalopy is bumpy, And also is dumpy, But what would we do without Jess? —L. C. I know a young boy named Joe Whose virtues all of us know; He is merry and witty In country or city, And his dancing can top any show. —L. C. There is a fellow named Joe, And for the girls he does go, Whether they’re fat or slim, It doesn’t matter to him, Just so long as they have some dough. —L. W. The best English teacher is he, As I have found him to be. You’re enthused in his classes And you know the time passes, For all this is done without fee. There is a teacher called John Who to teach English was born. He is perfectly calm Except when he gives an alarm About subjects coming and gone. —A. A. 32 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL There was a young girl named June Who liked to sit ’neath the moon. Although very shy, She caught every eye, But she never had time to spoon. In our class there’s an actress named June When she emotes she makes everyone swoon. She’s cute and vivacious She acts very gracious The Bergman of Johnson is June. —N. B. There is a young fellow named Lance Young ladies he now does entrance. Up to Johnson he goes And sure everyone knows While at dances he really does dance. We have a teacher named Mr. Lee Who, when we talk, gives a penalty. He’s not religious, But very judicious He gives detention, you see. —G. L. There is a young girl named Louise, Who does all her studies with ease, But I wish you could see When she goes on a spree How little she cares for her studies. —M. G. We have in our class a Mahoney, Who is often full of baloney: But she’s charming and sweet, And it sure is a treat To walk through the halls with Mahoney. There once was a girl named Mary Who was always quite contrary. She was always so fair That people did stare, Although small as an elf or a fairy. A smile to us all comes from Nancy Who loves to eat sundaes so fancy, Without her we’d suffer This great little bluffer, Cette jolie jeune fille called Nancy. —L. C. There once was a teacher named Neal When we talked, with us she would deal. I paid no attention, She gave me detention, Now my big mouth will I seal. —D. B. There is a young fellow named Paul, Who besides being thin is tall; As he shot for a basket, I heard someone ask it, “How good is this fellow called Paul?” —C. A. There was a young fellow named Paul For whom all the lassies would fall, His smile was so bright All his friends would delight. A mischievous pal to us all. —L. C. I know a young fellow named Pete, At dancing he cannot be beat. But where driving’s concerned, He just never learned. I think he must steer with his feet. —J. W. There once was a boy named Pete While skating he fell on his seat, But somebody said, “Remove the lead! You’re supposed to skate on your feet.” There is a teacher called Pierce Who in English is very fierce. The compositions come flying While the pupils are dying And are carried away in a hearse. —A. A. I know a girl named Sal, Believe me she is quite a gal, She is only five feet, And boy, is she sweet, But she’s going steady with Hal. Now Shirl’s a pal stuffed with zing Who makes all the corridors ring With her playful remarks And collection of sparks She puts everyone’s frets on a wing. We have a teacher. Miss Torpey, Who gives us zero if we copy; She teaches the business course And talks till she is hoarse, Telling the boys they are sloppy! There is a young lady named Vi Who thinks she must always get by; But when it comes to exams, She finds herself in a jam; And when it’s all over, she sighs, “Oh my!” I know a fellow called Woody Who’s as bashful and shy as could be. When at him a girl looks, He drops all his books, And trips down the stairs, our Woody. —G.

They showed to their loyal followers and admirers that they had the “get up and go,” to win the games, even when defeat seemed certain. They proved this with the game at Howe. Trailing at the second period, Johnson, by sheer will and determination, pushed the pigskin down the field for touchdowns and victory. But our boys really shone while playing Methuen and Punchard. The an¬ cient rivalry of these teams brought out the eagerness and aggressiveness to win —and win they did. They slaughtered Methuen on Columbus Day without much trouble, and when Thanksgiving Day rolled around, were on their toes to over¬ power Punchard, scoring early and often. Thus, they rightfully claimed the “Little Three Championship.” The following members of the Senior Class were awarded their sweaters: Joe Guthrie, Gus Weigel, Joe Winning, Eddie Brown, Buddy Cyr, Jack Kooistra, Bob Wilkinson, Bill Driscoll. Arthur Awley,Leon Wood Sports Reporters J. H. S. CHEER LEADERS The Johnson High School cheer leaders welcomed four new members to the group this year. They are Marjorie Lee, Joan Reilly, Charlotte Killam, and Marjorie Schofield. Elaine Champion and Bernadette Gosselin were elected head cheer leaders. The group added many new cheers to the list and they had a favorite response from those attending the games. 43 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BOYS’ BASKETBALL Our boys had tough luck on the basketball court this last season. They showed superb ball handling and were fairly accurate with their shooting, but their defense seemed to be unsteady. Their ability to pull an upset over the powerful Methuen quintet made us doubly proud of them. Although they didn’t present a very impressive record, they displayed fine sportsmanship and co-op¬ eration throughout the season. There were three seniors who received letters: Captain Gustave Weigel, Paul Adler, and Eddie Brown. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Johnson High School girls’ basketball team was coached this year by Miss Fitzgerald, who helped make it possible for the girls to have a very suc¬ cessful season, finishing first in the Lowell Suburban League. All except Jess Gucciardi, Elaine Champion (who were elected co-captains), Lucy Gucciardi, Joan Driscoll and our first rate manager—Marjorie Lee—will be back next year. Justine Fitzgerald Sports Reporter BASEBALL As the Gobbler goes to print, the baseball season looks promising. Coach George Lee has the following boys participating on this year’s squad: Harry Thomas (Manager); Catchers, Willis Hanscom (Captain), Charles Auer; Pitchers, John Dolan, Donald Shackleton, John Zuill, Thomas Finn, Norman Humphries; Infielders, Richard Hilton, Edwin Brown, John Kasheta, Francis Rivet, William Ness, Donald Alexander, Harold Bamford, Kenneth Howard, Bruce Goodson; Outfielders, James Kennedy, James Greene, Joe Driscoll, Joe Doherty, John Wolfenden, Robert Hay, Daniel Long, Raymond Florin, Albert Midgley. 45 THE GOBBLER-1948 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL FOREIGN PROTEGES Three little foreigners, to whom the class of 1948 has been sending gift pack¬ ages, are Hilde Grundel, Odette Noirbusson, and Guy Baheu. Hilde lives in Austria, and the packages for her have come from the English classes. Odette and Guy, who both live in France, have been receiving packages for two years from the French classes. You can be sure the Class of 1948 feels proud, that through our own initi¬ ative, three little children’s lives have been brightened up.
