Tlllz' .S'HIPBUll,lll2'll' 7.7 Crass PRQPHECY 4 With such noble specimens of the hu- man race assembled about one, it is rather diflicult to forecast to what un- bound limits these individuals might pursue their course. For authority on the subject it becomes necessary to quote from the columns of the June Ed- ition of the Norwell Advertiser of the year, 1953. On the night of June 13, the banquet table of the graduating class of '53 was honored by the presence of the graduat- ed class of twenty years ago. These most worthy citizens had arrived at the Norwell Airport in one of the transports of the Joseph-Osborne Airlines and were taken to the Norwell High School in one of the busses owned by the same com- pany. Mr. Edward Joseph and Mr. George Osborne personally conducted the trip. Af-ter disposing of the evening repast, speeches were made by the distinguished guests. Hon. Gordon Robbins, the Mayor of New York orated to some length on The Advantages to be Gained by an Education at Norwell High School. Mr. Vincent Travi, The Socialistic Candidate for President of the United States explained that his tardiness was due to the time taken by ia women's convention that he had been attending. He then revealed one of his campaign slogans, More Attention to Women in American Industry. Next on the program was Mr, Vincent Lincoln, the present lightweight champ- ion of the ring. After flexing his mus- cles a few times, Mr. Lincoln proceeded to show the important part the calis- thenics of Norwell High had played in his development. Miss Elizabeth Lincoln, local leader of the Bachelor Maids rose and decla- red that Vincent would never be where he was today if it hadn't been for her nourishing home cooking. Miss Sylvia Pike, Supervisor at the Massachusetts General Hospital said that she thought Vincent had great pos- sibilities indeed if only Miss Helen White, now starring n the Hollywood Revue would see that he kept in train- ing. Miss Geraldine Tibbetts of the Massa- chusetts State Board of Reform stated hastily that the terrible doings of the present generation were not suprising as she had seen the symptons as far back as 1933. Miss Eleanor Joseph however put mat- ters right by saying that as everyone present was a member of the mentioned generation one couldn't be too harsh. Miss Joseph continued ramidst great ap- plausel to say that in ten year's exper- ience as a teacher at the Norwell High, she had never seen a more intelligent group of children than those whose par- ents were assembled before her. Miss Gauley of the Civil Service Board of Examinations declared that no other citizens attained such high levels in Civil Service tests as those graduated from N orwell High. Miss Barbara Knapp, the popular an- nouncer for station W. E. E. I. took great pleasure in introducing the Smith Sisters -Barbara and Emily. After be- ing entertained for the next half hour by the Smith Sisters close harmony, Miss Knapp introduced Miss Florence Hamb- len the Prima Donna of the Springfield Sweeter Sugar Hour. Her song Carrol- ing in the Corridor With One I Love was a great hit. Miss Hamb1en's singing was enjoyed by all and after an appre- ciative audience had voiced its approval, it was decided that the banquet had been brought to a most fitting close. It might be said that never before in the history of .Norwell has such a dist- inguished and famous group of men and women been assembled within the walls of Norwell High School. Although ft seems almost an impossibility for any class in the future to attain such a deg- ree of success as the Class of 1933, a goal has been set for which it would be well for future generations to strive.

I-,Y TH la' SH I PB I,'JLDE1f of our members, namely Ruth Winslow who decided home duties were more im- portant than school dutiesg Rosemary Haslett, who is now a beauty specialistg and Harland Farrar who is nowspecial- izing in chickens. CNo one knows which kind!1 To offset our lcss Madeline Gig- lio, from Dorchester and Donald Ronan from Jamaica Plain joined our class. Owing to Donald's likeable nature he was elected President of the class. Find- ing no change in the faculty we were prepared to work in our sophomore year. It was during this year that the fine playing of some of our class athletes won for the school the South Shore Championship in basketball. In both play and opperetta our members took important parts showing the school it was impossible to get along without us. However, during this year we lost one more member of our class, Stella Got- reau. Stella is now employed by a mem- ber of the faculty. In the fall of 1931 a very dignified and talented class of Juniors entered Nor- well High School. In looking over our membership roll we were glad to find three members, Barbara Knapp who had returned from New York, Vincent Lincoln who had re- turned from Boston Trade School gand Florence Hamblen who came from Wey- mouth. In March of this year we undertook to give a dance which was a success both financially and socially. When basketball season came around our class was in the line up and on the first team, at that. Our members also excelled in baseball and other sports as well as in studies. This year our Class took a trip to Tuft's Class Day, accompanied by Miss Meyers and Mrs. Franceschini. Thus the Class of 1933 ended another successful year. The following September seventeen sophisticated seniors came back deter- mined that our last year would be the best. Class officers for our Senior year were as follows: Vincent Travi, President: Florence Hamblen, Vice president: Pearl Gauley, Treasurerg and Elizabeth Lin- coln, Secretary. Our Halloween Dance was a huge success. Members of our class also star- red in the mystery play, In the Next Room. In addition to all this our class has given much needed material for sports such as baseball and basketball. June has arrived and here are sixteen strong, ambitious young people ready to start life for ourselves. I take pleasure in introducing to you: Vincent Travi - Athletically inclined is he, And shoots his baskets merrily. Byram Howard - The cream of Joke books he must quaff To keep us all in a hearty laugh. Edward Joseph - Eddie beats them all by far, When he drives his little Ford car. Pearl Gauley - Good things in small packages, they say That's true of Pearl, bright and gay. Elizabeth Lincoln - All the boys best beware, Of deep blue eyes and golden hair. Barbara Knapp - When aristocratic Babs goes by, The boys look on with hopeful sigh. Eleanor Joseph - Tho it is against the rule, She loves to giggle and fool. Sylvia Pike - Stenography is in her field, A mean typewriter does she wield. Vincent Lincoln - The Zero hour for him is eight, Most once a week this boy is late. Gordon Robbins - A very studious lad is he, And never known for Jollity. Geraldine Tibbetts - Because, she always talks, its true Study periods are her Waterloo. Helen White - A slim and laughing girl is she, And well deserves her popularity. Emily Smith - Before the world had quite began, There was the slogang Get Your Man. George Osborne -- Tho he is a very bashful lad, No better friend to be had. Florence I-lamblen - If her lessons were not prepared, Florence would certainly be scared. Barbara Smith
