I THE META Class 0 1943 Peabody High School Page Two META Peabody High Scli FOREWORD The writing of this, our META, affixes the seal of finality to our four transient years of high school. Four fleeting years of fun, friendship and guidance — and, too, a few small trials and tears. This year more than any preceding year, our graduation marks an important crossroads in our young lives. It will wrench us abruptly from our gay, carefree adolescence and thrust us into the maturity of the accelerated pace of our present-day world. Some of us will continue our education at college — but we can never hope to recapture the youth and freedom and shelter of these last four years. Above all in this day and age. Many of our boys will be at War! On scattered battlefields in farflung corners of the world they will think often of these precious years. Our girls in defense factories, working, praying and waiting for them will remember these years, happy and profitable years. None of us knows what fate and the future hold for us. There is but one way to keep forever our fleeting youth. Though time march on, and tides continue endlessly to ebb and flow, though we grow old in body and our pulses slow to an evener pace, the youth and jo y that is so deeply imprinted upon the pages of our memory will never dim.

BARRY Principal Peabody High School META Page Seven OUR PRINCIPAL To our principal, Mr. Arthur J. Barry, we, the members of the Class of 1943, extend our sincere appreciation of his untiring efforts in our behalf. During our four years of high school life we have always felt free to approach him at any time for advice and encouragement which he always gave freely and cheerfully. Now we are about to leave our high school days behind and enter other fields of endeavor. The measure of success attained by each one of us in the days and the years that lie ahead will most certainly be to a considerable de- gree the result of the wise counsel of our friend and principal, Mr. Barry.

Words can- not express adequately the gratitude we owe them for it is largely due to their encouragement and understanding that we possess the knowledge that is ours today. There is not one of us who has not received help from some one of them at one time or another. Their sincerity and friendly counsel have helped many of us when the path was rough. Now that we realize how much they had to do in so little time, we can readily appreciate the marked success of their efforts. As time moves relentlessly on, inevitable changes will take place. Some of the teachers will have left and new ones will have taken their places. But wherever we may find ourselves in years to come, we may be sure that the present faculty, the men and women we have grown to like and to respect, is the one that will remain forever in our hearts and in our memories.

Haines CAST OF STRAND NIGHT Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and One STRAND NIGHT One of the truly memorable evenings of our years at Pea- body High School was the evening on which we presented our 1943 Senior Strand Night. If you remember (and we’re sure you’ll not soon forget) our last year at high school was a year different in many ways from the years that preceded. We were at war; our social activities were necessarily limited; our Dramatic Guild which had functioned so smoothly under the able direction of Mr. Gorman was suspended probably for the duration; and we did so want to exhibit our many talents before the footlights. What better opportunity than at Strand Night! For many months we labored diligently in preparing a show that would be unique in the annals of P. H. S. We wanted to present something that would be entirely new to our classmates and to our friends, the undergraduates. After much deliberation, we finally decided that a modern minstrel show would be a proper vehicle for our talents, our cast, and the best audience in the his- tory of many successful Strand Nights. February 18, if you recall, was the date. The place; the Strand. The time: Well, the curtain went up promptly at 7:30 on the first scene of OUR STRAND NIGHT. We can say with- out fear of contradiction it was a memorable occasion indeed. Our frolicking end-men included Farenia Hollingsworth, who made a great hit with her singing of You Made Me Love You,” Rufus” Caron, Midnight Raster, Louisville Kelley, Snowball” McNiff, Queenie” Vontzalides, Sharpie” Jones and Blackie Trodella. They were ably supported by a chorus of forty mixed voices. Malcolm and Shirley Remis entertained us with their enjoyable dance specialty; Shirley Newton literally brought down the house” with her rendition of A Bird in a Gilded Cage.” A bit of old-fashioned harmony was brought in with Barbara Stevens, Dorothy Doyle, Joel Anderson and Frank Roche making up the quartet. There were many other specialties that were enjoyed by all, but the Boys’ Chorus was the hit of the show, as it always has been. My, but didn ' t Joel Anderson, Frank Pierce, Billy Pappas, Teddy Miller, Leonard Jones, Walter Kardenetz, Richard Langan, Arnold Murray and Henry Brawley make lovely little ballerinas? The Military Scene was out of the ordinary this year and especially colorful with the flags and costumes of the United Na- tions, with Miss Liberty in the person of Frederica Donahue in the center. The show was filled from beginning to end with real entertainment. Our show could not have been the success that it was were it not for the hard work, the untiring interests and the giving free- ly of time on the part of Miss Ruth O ' Keefe, Miss Riley, Miss Armstrong, Mrs. Haines and Miss Brownstone, our class adviser. The seniors who took active part in Strand Night were as follows : Dorothy Doyle Pete Vrettos Frank Amaro Joel Anderson Henry Brawley Co-Chairmen Barbara Stevens Bernard Caron Richard Langan George Chase John Langley William Ellis John McVann Leonard Jones Arnold Murray Walter Kardenetz William Pappas Phyllis Hollingsworth Frank Pierce Ann Gilmore Frank Roche Louise Kelly Plato Vontzalides Margaret Mullane Raymond Wallman Evelyn Nichols Frederica Donahue Elizabeth Olikainen Evelyn Ostapchuk Frieda Raucci Frances Stocker Ermenia Villa Priscilla Washburn MISS O ' KEEFE AND PRINCIPALS GRAND FINALE— STRAND NIGHT CAST OF A HOWLING SUCCESS ' Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Five DRAMATIC GUILD Daring our first three years in high school the most active organization was unquestionably our Dramatic Guild under the able direction of Mr. D. Edward Gorman. Then came the war and with it the ending, probably for the duration, of the activities that we had for three years associated with the dramatic organiza- tion of P. H. S. In each of our three earlier years in high school, members of our class of 1943 had distinguished themselves before the foot- lights. Senior year, however, saw the departure of our director, Mr. Gorman, to the Merchant Marine, and we found that for the William J. Cody Albert Chaves Helen Cherwik Marion Davis Arthur Davidson time being we would have to forego the pleasures that go into the production of Howling Successes.” Among the members of the class of ’43 who were active in guild and because several members of ’43 were bright stars of that most successful production, we have had reproduced here a picture of the cast in the hope that the picture will bring back to the members of the cast and to all who were interested in the guild pleasant memories of happy days. Because A Howling Success” was the last venture of our the guild are the following: Cleo Panagoplos Sally Press Frank Roche Peggy Swartz Dorothy Wiggin Frederica Donahue Jacqueline Doody Shirley Dullea Cynthia Field Betty Fmegold Anne Gilmore Alice Hardy Allen Hingston Lois Janvier Louise Kelley Stella Kondon Annette Lampert Melvin Lampert Arthur Lynch Jane Merrow CAMERA CLUB OFFICERS Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Seven CAMERA CLUB One of the few organizations active during our senior year was the Camera Club, under the able direction of Mr. James F. Carlin. Meetings were held on Friday afternoons at which time pictures, picture taking, and finishing methods were discussed and illustrated. The results of the club’s work in photography, or at least some of them, are to be seen within the pages of our META, for some of the candid shots reproduced in our class book were made by our Camera Club members. During the latter part of the year moving pictures were shown to the English and history classes, pictures which proved most interesting. Among the films shown were Macbeth” and The Story of the Constitution.” Of course, all of us who were fortunate enough to see it will remember The Ninth Inning,” a baseball pictu re of action on our major league front. It has well been said that a single picture is worth a thousand words. If this be so, then some of the enthusiastic members of our Camera Club will be voluble members of society in future days through the medium of their photographic lenses. Officers of the club during senior year were: President Elarry Ankeles Vice-President Arthur McNiff Secretary Robert Richmond Corresponding Secretary John Higson Adviser Mr. James F. Carlin Other members of ’43 who were active in photographic mat- ters were William Pappas, Raymond Wallman and Morris White.

We will tell all — it has taken us three arduous years to acquire this sophisti- cated nonchalance. Today, every one of us pants in his best Popeye voice, Today I am- — a senior!” Fooled you, didn’t we? We stepped inside these eminent portals this morning radiantly beaming with thoughts of the long happy? ? ? ? year ahead of us. Our thoughts were far from that long- awaited day in June when we will receive our just rewards. None of us will forget this first half of the last inning. We were assigned to our homerooms — and with no further ado except for the long line of May I go down to the office to see Mr. So and So?” we were cordially? ? ? ? introduced to our subject teachers. Alas, it seems as though our repu- tation has preceded us! Well, that ' s a student’s life for you — ups and downs” all the time. September 1 1- — The third day up and we are still at bat! How- ever, we soon learned who the umpires were! Candidates for the heralds of King Football are being paged on the sidelines. In other words — the cheer leaders are oiling their vocal chords. September 24 — Our Glee Club met, shook vocal chords, and got acquainted. The club was soon organized and the warb- ling from their corner was an indication of the music? ? ? that was to ensue. September 27— Something new is added! ! We are going to en- gage Lowell in a football game on a Sunday afternoon. The defense workers will then be able to see the contest. September 30 — Today the class of 1943 exercised its American right to vote. We are confident that we proved ourselves to be of sane and sound judgment when the majority agreed to follow these elected officers: President, Frank Amaro; Vice- President, Anne Gilmore; Secretary, Evelyn Ostapchuk; Treas- urer, Bernard Caron. How can we help creating an unsur- passed record of fame! October 2 — The Camera Club holds its first meeting and it prom- ises to be one of the most active organizations — if the boys can concentrate on focusing other subjects than themselves. October 5 — The Services of the United States are taking their toll. Mr. Edward O’Connor leaves for the wars shortly. He will be followed by Mr. Timothy McCarthy, Mr. Charles Carlin, and Mr. D. Edward Gorman. What are the girls going to do for eligible males — to fill the vacancies left by these teachers? October 12 — In 1492 — oh, you wouldn’t understand. We sup- pose we must tell you; it is Columbus Day. A long week- end gave us extra time to stretch and yawn. October 13 — Come one, come all to the bad boys’” ball. Disci- pline classes were started for the mischievous boys who have to dispense of their energy in some way. October 28-30 — We, pupils, enjoyed the vacation allotted because of oil rationing. However, we do not believe that the teach- ers realized the full value of the vacation”! ! November 6 — The teachers receive the all work and no play” again. Relaxation is the major key word for us. Ho-Hum, what a life — so boring, isn’t it? Are we kidding? The annual teachers’ convention was held. November 13 and 16 — Today, another vacation. These vaca- tions get so boring, don’t you think? Oh, excuse us, we don’t want to be disagreeable, but . . . The event today is that complicated confusion of oil rationing. We are all wondering if we will be warm enough this coming winter — if we haven’t enough oil, we can always use some of the so- called great” literary works of art with which we are bur- dened every year. Oh! At last we agree. November 20 — The greatest literary work of art, our own Ob- server, started its annual drive for conscriptions. The Ob- server celebrates its twentieth year of work this year. Un- doubtedly some of our brighter? ? students will remember the other anniversaries which are to come. Principal, ARTHUR J. BARRY Miss Ruth O ' Keefe Vice-Principal, J. Henry Higgins Miss Kathleen Hallahan Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Thirteen November 25 — At last! They finally conceded to allow us a va- , cation. Turkey, cranberry sauce, and all the fixings. You guessed it— Thanksgiving. I wonder if it broke their hearts to finally give us a recess to study — the art of relaxation? November 30 — A furtive glance, here and there, is cast as we stealthily grope by the auditorium. The tell-tale wall. It must be told. The Honor Roll was posted. Tears were shed and smiles were drawn — a bit imaginative, aren’t we? December 7 — One year ago today. We were not prepared, but one year later — today — we are prepared, and one year and forever from today we will ever be prepared. December 18 — The ruddy, jovial face which appeared was merely Mr. Brawley acting to perfection. Santa Claus for the young children from the grammar schools- — we wonder who en- joyed it more. I think Mr. Brawley had a satisfactorily good time. Then the more pleasant, softer aspects of the Christmas Ball were cherished by everyone. The decorations and other glittering paraphernalia were hung in order to try to im- prove the simple appearance of the auditorium. The best is yet to come! The time when we hang our stockings and wait for St. Nick to trip down the chimney from his eight cylinder chariot. Needless to say, we slept soundly during the satisfying Christmas vacation. January 4 — Every one of us made a great effort to awake to the first period after the vacation. Now is time to exert our stored up, and I do mean stored, energy. Now it is OUR YEAR! ! Mid-years are the only pits in which we have to fall. Why worry? We will fall into them when the time arrives. January 18 — The Year Book started to get under way, and every- one on the staff had a pleasant countenance when the dates were set for the pictures. It was quite a different look, how- ever, when the proofs were brandished. All ' s fair in love and war — but this was murder! All fun aside, the pictures did come out remarkably well. January 26 — Mid-years! ! and the silence thereof was great. January 27 — It can never be said that we shirked our duty. Be- sides many of our boys from school leaving to join the serv- ice, the school body joined heartily and financially in the drive for Defense Stamps. We did every bit we could to help our country, and every week we diligently buy war stamps. February 2 — Rehearsals for Strand Night are launched and are getting into full swing. We are making this the biggest ex- travaganza of the year! Our own attempt at a theatrical suc- cess! And what with the celebrities scattered throughout our honored institution it ought to be a Strand Night that will be entered into the history of our Blue and White. February 3 — The saddest and most emotional day of our year was experienced! The last meeting of the talented Dramatic Guild was held because Mr. Gorman, its adviser, left for the Merchant Marine Service. Several other teachers have al- ready left and we felt sorry to see them go. But, courage it is, and chins up. Our loss is our country’s gain. And what a gain! ! February 18- — The big night when the latent powers of dramatic ability (in other words corny” quips) are observed re- splendent in their glory of wit. It is — it is Strand Night! ! A round of applause, please. Thank you. We are deserving of the praise that we received for the ex- cellent performances. From the comments that were heard, we firmly believe that the night was a success. March 6 — Height, please. Size of head, etc. No, it is no beauty contest- — not that some! ! ! ! of us couldn ' t compete. It is merely the conventional measuring for caps and gowns. March 1 6, 17 and 19 — Did we shine? Hair combed, faces washed, etc! The group pictures of the META staff, and of class officers were taken. Then everyone returns to normal again. Imagine! the boys have started their preparation for grad- uation exercises. Everyone of us is waking from his winter lethargy and they wake us abruptly by starting graduation preparations. We’re getting an early start — but then we were always considered a rather! ! ! precocious class? ? ? March 18 — The Red Cross commences its drive for funds. We are only too glad to contribute our bit to this worthy cause. March 25 — The Honor Parts for graduation were announced to- day. Congratulations are in order not only to Phyllis Lev- FAMILIAR SCENES Peabody High School chuk, our valedictorian, and to Mildred Alevras, our saluta- torian, but also to our other scholastic leaders who led the way home. We think that one matter has been proved quite conclusively, or do we, that the girls are smarter than the boys. Eight girls captured the eight top places on our SUPER HONOR ROLL. April 20 — Special privileges are being granted to seniors who have been offered positions to leave school for work pro- vided their marks are satisfactory. It is surprising to note the large numb ers who are taking advantage of the opportu- nity to start early on their careers. Day by day a few more leave for parts known and unknown and the first floor with many seniors gone seems practically deserted. Our classes are growing smaller and smaller, some almost to the vanishing point. May 11 — It will not be long (for most of us) — the end is stealth- ily approaching. Graduation preparations are in full swing and the actual day, the day of days, is not far distant. ETA Page One Hundred and Fifteen June 3 — Eat, drink and be merry, but tomorrow we ' ll suffer. The class battle cry at the banquet rings loud and clear. Beneath the joviality of our classmates, however, there is an astonish- ing sobriety. Perhaps we realize too well the fact that this is to be the last, but one, of many happy get-togethers. June 6 — Sunday afternoon, the mo mentous day, when parents proud beam with smiles and tears and seniors participate in the exercises with fears and hopes. Now we leave the shel- tered walls of Alma Mater and prepare to enter the cruel and exacting world. It ' s astounding to realize that we aren’t the first to enter the cruel world.” Here begins the history of our achievements in the game of life. June 11 — At last, the reception. The final break. Here words are a bloodless substitute for the good time that was had by all. On your toes, world, here comes the Class of 1943. P. L. Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Seventeen CLASS PROPHECY, 1943 Tic, tic, ding!” The busy newspaper offices of the New York Fibber were humming with activity as Jim Scoop” Hallinan strode through the jungle of chattering typewriters and smoking reporters, calling out Hiya ' s” to ace reporters Johnnie Argetes, Mel Lampert, and Red” Yonis. Scoop” winked at those de- mure stenographers, Esther Babner and Dot Bettencourt, and the advice to the lovelorn editor, Pearl Kaplan, He then hurried into the inner sanctum of Editor-in-chief, Aloe” Laverty. Sit down, Hallinan!” roared Moe” as he finished giving instructions to his star photographic staff consisting of Jackie Hig- son, Ray Wallman, and Edward Vierra. They promptly left to cover the latest exhibit of the surrealist work done by rising young star Freddie” Donahue. As the door slammed behind the three the office heard strange noises from behind the heavy portal. Key-pushers Anita lllias and Angelina Kappotis were speculating about their respective boy- friends when Hallinan rushed out. He nearly upset Sarah Gara- bedian and Audrey Atkinson in his hurry to get out of the build- ing and into the waiting cab of Leo Espinola. . . . The cab pulled up before the imposing Ritzmore Apartments owned by opulent Mr. George Almeida. Scoop plunged into the building and reappeared five minutes later with Alice Hardy and Anne Gilmore, well known free-lance writers. The cab whizzed ’cross town to the We-Snippit-Out Sanatarium and Hos- pital (sanatarium for the doctors, hospital for the patients). In sped Scoop” Hallinan again to pick up Doc” Bill Cody, who handed his colleague, Art Lynch, the key to the padded cell. In one more jump the gang picked up Vic Laties, angry at being disturbed while planning his tunnel under the Pacific. Scoop” then escorted the little group to Editor-in-Chief Moe” Laverty. There was another hurried conference in which the reason for all this hullabaloo was revealed. The most distinguished member of the class of ’43, Plato Vontzalides, was remrning from his duties as ambassador to Sylvania. His boat was to dock at pier 33. These old grads were to greet him and escort him to his hotel. At the dock the group met that famous swinger of the blues, Millie” Alevras, and her manager, Mike” Gargas. They were at the dock to meet Jimmy” Hilton, who was coming over from England to gather material for his new book, Blues in the Morn. When they heard about the purpose of the visit Millie” and Mike” asked to come aboard. It was agreed. They went directly to A” deck where Anne” noticed a blond, good looking young man with a black bag by his side. The whole group walked over to him and met Dr. Bob” Coombs. They talked over old times for a little while; then Bob” looked at Millie” critically. I’m sorry, young lady, but you’re coming down with scarlet fever. I’ll have to quarantine this ship.” Bill” and Vic” pro- tested but it was all to no avail. The quarantine signs were put up and no one could leave or board the boat. Before going to see the Captain, Anne, Alice, Mike,” Bill,” Scoop,” and Vic” decided to take a stroll around the deck. Wav- ing handkerchiefs wildly at a group of sailors were stewardesses Mary Govrusik, Stella Stevens, and Louise Gates. Next to them, Waiter Dluznieska and Paul Apostolides were feeding some sea- gulls who were eagerly eyeing Helen Baschuk as a prospective meal. Far up in the crow’s nest, Louise Kelly was seated on Sailor John Murphy’s knee while he was teaching her the points of the compass. (Ahem) Down below on A” deck, dragging their overflowing trunks across the deck were Claire Menice and Tilla Ferguson, They were members of the Niftie Nights” dance team. As Claire stopped to brush her feather bob from her eyes, Henry Brawley paused and gallantly shouldered on his massive physique — a hatbox. Staggering under the weight, he stumbled over to his bosom pal, Bill” O’Hara. Billie” was occupied in explaining the life and love of a shark to Dotty Doyle. Al- though Dotty’s” entire attention was given over to O’Hara’s fas- cinating chatter, one brown eye was following the handsome back of the first mate, Joel Anderson. However, Dotty” will have a hard job competing with that gorgeous creature in the flowered sarong. Of course, a publicity stunt, but none the less effective Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Nineteen for her latest picture — Kneedeep in Celery.” Who? Barbara Stevens of course! And that great big hunk o’ man bringing back her tame lion was — no, not Victor Mature, but Frank Amaro. He looked rather well in spotted trunks and was an excellent model for his sponsor, Ironized Yeast.” The little group that formed the reception committee, despite the rolling of the ship, worked its way around to the bar. Perched on a stool, tossing off her third malted milk, Alice Hardy argued madly with Scoop” Hallinan. The discussion concerned the rela- tive points of charm of Jean and Joan Partridge. Although Jean’s legs won the trophy awarded at the pool aboard ship by millionaire and connoisseur of feminine pulchritude, Roy Pyburn, Joan walked off with the most eligible bachelor aboard, Dink” Pierce. The dispute was interrupted by a hilarious reunion. After these many years, Scoop was reunited with his old cronies, Dickie ” Langan and Jackie McVann. They had gone far since school days. They were Broadway’s most famous playboys and managers of the Six-Down” Beverage Corporation. Their three star salesmen were there dashing about distributing dram samples of their prod- uct. Clayton Small took the bow and Sully” Sullivan covered the stern. Leo Carney was sitting in a corner all by his lone- some trying to figure out how many grams there were in a dram. A pretty girl ' s eyes still could do things to these fellows, so, taking leave of their pal Scoop,” Dickie” and Jackie” were off in a daze following Priscilla Washburn and Agnes Barry. Turning on his stool, Hallinan discovered another old pal, Shirley Dullea. Shirley was boring her listeners, Margy” Mul- lane and Helen Hockenhull, with tales of her three-year old, Len- nie, Jr. Although they appreciated how extraordinary Shirley’s son was they were trying to get in a few clever sayings of their own precocious offspring. Margy” was knitting a sweater for her youngster and patiently holding the yarn was hubby Bill” Ellis. With Bill” was his private secretary, Art” Davidson. ( Margie was insanely jealous, you see.) If Art” was fidgeting madly, it wasn’t vitamin deficiency; it was his woolen underwear. As secretary his job included previewing the products of the Ellis Wool Weaving Company and the sister corporation, the Snuggles Sweater Company. Art” took over the task of wearing the Snuggles sweaters since the original previewers, Sally Press, Louise Bender, and Betty Finegold, left to accept contracts with the George Chase Modeling Agency. Speaking of Georgie” Chase, there he was, leaning over the ship’s railing billing and cooing with Peggy” Swartz. At the moment Peggy” was resting up from her latest stage play, Junior, Miss Me. The gang from the newspaper, after having been insulted by the fresh bartender, Jim Daley, who had just spilled a coke on de- signer Agnes Gauthier’s new silk gown, left the bar in a huff. They wandered aimlessly along B” deck. From the door of the Captain’s quarters a small piece of paper fluttered and landed at their feet. Vic” picked it up, shifted his cigar, and read: WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN?” or DON’T TELL ME, LET ME GUESS” starring Sally Simper (the luscious heroine) Harry Handlebar (the handsome hero) Rudolph Ratt (the terrible villain) Ma Simper } Pa Simper The Sheriff ( I upholds the LAW”) Madame XYZ (shhhh . . . It’s a secret) (the heroine’s parents) Helen Chigas Bill Cody Alex Gatti Patricia Hoar Raymond Jackson Cliff Hilton Joan Gatti Vic” stepped through the open door to return the theatre program. And lo, there in his stocking feet and shirt sleeves, drinking a tall mug of Spring Water” sat Captain Ed. Gorman The theatre program proved to be from one of Ed’s” most dra- matic productions. On the side he was producer of Timbucktoo Talkies.” Ed” extended a generous invitation for the group to dine at his table. They all dashed to their newly assigned cabins to dress with elaborate care. As Anne was entering her luxurious quarters she was distracted by a low groan. There in a corner was John Langley, being violently seasick. Shocked but bravely rising to the occasion Anne called loud and long until two passers-by, Billy” Pappas and Wally” Romanovitz, gallantly came to the rescue and carried John into Anne’s room and placed him on the bed. Oh, but wait; there weren’t only two passers-by — there was another, a woman clinging to Billy’s” arm, a woman luxuriously Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Twenty-one dressed in silks, furs, and diamonds. Why, of course, it was Stella Kondon. Doctor Ed ” Suchecki burst into the room in an authoritative manner and administered to the ailing Langley as- sisted ably by his hand-holding nurses, Evelyn Ostapchuk and Frannie” Stocker. Frannie” and Evelyn were engaged in a tussle trying to take John’s pulse (which was rapidly increasing in volume). Dr. Suchecki, disgusted at finding John’s attack merely a case of mal de mer, left to keep a date with his best girl, Ruth Lopes, leaving the whole business (and the two nurses) in the hands of the young interne, Leo Marrs. Anne, sharing a stateroom with Alice, dressed and the little group was on its way to the Captain’s dinner. As they were waiting to be served. Captain Ed pointed out a dazzling couple who were gliding across the floor amid whirling skirts and sliding stewards. Those amazing dancers — Philip O ' Donnell and Ledwina Bettencourt. That cozy group in the corner was made up by Phyllis Levchuk and her latest flame, Jack” Drago, Dot” Jarvis and Phil” Bugler, and Liz” Bumpus and Flash” McDonald. They were helping blushing Janie” Merrow and Allen Hingston celebrate their fifth wedding anni- versary. Just as the Captain’s table was being served the boat lurched sharply and a flashily dressed young woman was thrown directly into an oncoming waiter laden with a tray of lobster Newburg. When the green salad had been peeled off the young woman the star of the new musical You Made Me Love Your Money” was revealed — Holly” Hollingsworth. The other member of the epi- sode, the hapless waiter, was none other than Martin Conway. Surveying the wreckage the gang decided to have tuna fish sand- wiches. The request was given to chief chef, Teddy” Miller, who ran out to the railing, threw out his line, waited thirty seconds, and pulled up a giant tuna. This was rushed over to the kitchen where the remarkable culinary staff consisting of Walter Haig, Andy” Gretchinuk, and Ann Kovalchuk immediately prepared it for the Captain ' s table. While the fresh tuna was being enjoyed by all concerned the feast was suddenly interrupted by the harried purser, Jimmy” Marshall, who was trying to distinguish between his newly ac- quired passengers and the paying guests. Behind him two young women were being escorted to the brig by gobs Cris” Balias and Teddy” Tsaltas. The girls, Alice McCarthy and Eleanor Michel- azzo, had been caught sneaking through a porthole without a ticket. After the group finished their dinner they bade goodbye to their old pal, Captain Gorman, and repaired to their staterooms. By agreement they met an hour later in order to interview the ambassador. They were ushered into the ambassador’s suite by his very private secretary, Cleo Panagoplos. Cleo seemed very worried about something, but try as they would, they didn’t make much headway for a while. Finally Cleo admitted that Plato was missing and that the ship detective, Stevie” Bezemes, was already working on the case. He had last been seen on the sun deck ad- miring the sea and the white caps — namely, those of bathing beauties Helen Cherwick, Claire Cherby, and Lois Janvier. Al- though the water of the pool was warm it was decided that Plato had not taken a dip. He could hardly have drowned anyway with such able life guards as handsome, tanned Joe” King and dapper Louis Manos and their lovely assistants, Annette Lampert and Alice Hubis. As the group drew nearer to the pool for further investigation of the ambassador’s disappearance, Jacqueline Doody was play- fully demonstrating the art of giving artificial respiration on vic- tim Mary Baptista for the benefit of her pop-eyed pupils, John Brennan, Larry” Cushing, and Nick” Georges. Sunning his muscular physique on a striped beach blanket by the pool’s edge was the well known film star, Wally” Kardenetz with a push-up in one hand and Cynthia Field’s lily white hand in the other. But — no Plato. The now alarmed group rushed to the lounge in the hope of locating the diminutive diplomat. As they burst into the room they were greeted by the sweet, mellow sax of massive maestro, Albert Chaves and the hot, soul-melting piano of Ray King. The torrid jazz was really sending hep cats Ermania Villa, Pete” Katsu- las, Amelia Lebed, and Dickie” Murphy. Out in the middle of the floor Arnold Murray, that walking before” picture for the DuBarry Success Course, was jitterbugging madly with Laura Dur- gin to the tune of the Wisconsin Wiggle.” A puff of smoke c. ri 5. H N- K E c C.C. j p. A H, W.fc- AS WE WERE Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Twenty-three rose slowly from a large sofa and the cry of fire was heard. On investigation, the ' ' fire” was only Pete” Gretchenuk smoking one of the Stifling Stogies” made by his cigar company. And in a far corner two passengers had their heads together. Yes, Pat Lawless and Billy Lawrence were discussing Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Over near the galaxy of multi-colored nickel snatchers, Mary Burke and Charlie Saxonis were trying to make the little red ball jump into the subway chute. This contraption was the latest invention of the slot machine king, Bob” Richmond. Bob” was at the moment in darkest Africa seeking, with the aid of his lieutenant, Whitey” (Morris White to you), the secret of the Ubangi Jackum Pot. Anne took time out from the manhunt to skip over to the hot dog vendor run by Don McCauley , who made his fortune in the traveling weenie business. He was assisted in his important work by Teddy” Garlinski, who also ran the Crumbly Cone” ice cream business. That breeze felt by all those present was not a fresh ocean spray but Alex Krawczyk chasing Ellen Quirk ! (Aha! — time turned the tables, Alex.) By this time the whole shipboard was given over to an end- less search for the missing ambassador. Ruthie” Miller and Shirley Gelman, still looking for a man, joined in a search with vigor. While Shirley held Ruthie’s” ankle, they slid down the laundry chute in quest of Plato. There, with the help of chief laundress, Gloria Girolimon, and lroner-in- chief Ida Jermyn, they looked endlessly in heaping baskets of soiled clothes, but succeeded only in unearthing Fred Mercer, who had taken refuge in a basket to escape the confusion. Meanwhile the search went on up on A deck with Nellie Witwicki and Shirley Hallett as leading bloodhounds. Christine Gregory, who was with the Abraham Kekorian Doughnut Com- pany, was helping them look in the life boats. Despite all the confusion, Frieda Raucci and Frankie” Roche were conducting a fishing” tourney. (Frank was fishing and Frieda was turning.) Joe” Andrade and Malcolm Conant were taking a dip in the shark infested waters with Pauline Barrell and Emilia Ciman. Over by Pete” Tsouvales’ Cola Wagon Estelle Parker and John O’Meara were slowly sipping cokes next to Mike” Panagopoulos and his wife, Anna Tilas. Suddenly there was a loud cry resembling that of a Peabody High rooter at a Salem game. Mike,” Bill,” and Vic” rushed to the rail. There clinging to a small battered motor boat were Alec Tsaltas and Georgia Tolios. Alec had, through a miscalcu- lation of log cos log tan, rammed the huge ocean liner with his fifteen-foot yacht, so fascinated was he with fair Georgia at his side. A life boat was lowered to pick them up, which was com- manded by first mate, John Mulherin. Johnnie” Cokorogiannis and Eddie” Bettencourt lifted them aboard. The two shivering sailors were bundled off to the ship ' s hospital where Doc Bernie Caron (this ship has plenty of doctors) and nurses Pauline Cooke, Doris Daley, and Marion Davis took them in charge. ’’Scoop” Hallinan rushed up to the radio room to wire his paper the up-to-the-minute account of the widespread search for Plato. Lennie Levy took the message and sent it out immediately. Pete” Vrettos, the auxiliary radio man, was singing out a tele- gram to his girl, Dot” Wiggin in New York. At his side trying desperately to contact Berlin was Nick Zolotas. At last a furious tapping answers on his wireless: Every- thing fine here in the new American province stop My New Deal has met with great success. Signed, Mayor of Germany, Bill” Y oung. (Note to readers: When finished with your copy of the META please send to Mr. A. Hitler.) Scoop,” still waiting for an answer to his telegram, glanced around the wonderful modern equipment of the radio room. There — lo and behold — busily engaged in repairing the tele- vision wireless were Kenneth Norwood and Milton Mizner. They confided that they had given up their jobs as traveling salesmen be- cause their mothers were shocked at the stories told about them. With tears in his eyes, Milton declared that, because of a story about a traveling salesman, his disillusioned girl friend, Rita Wiseman, had left him and was now devoting her life to her home for stray animals, together with two other tender-hearted friends, Lois Young and Nancy Ziolkowski. Keep your chin up, old man,” advised Scoop” and he dashed back to No. 3 wireless where his answer was coming in. — dot, j . n j- A H WERE WE CUTE?

Back with the others, the feverish hunt continued. A pri- vate search was conducted by Margaret Cardoza and Eva Burnett, two eminent biologists, searching for rare specimens of Manus Maleus.” They were drawn to stateroom X by loud voices. But the voices were not the voices of Manus Maleus” but the voices of Virginia Walsh and Thelma Watkins who were arguing about their chances for walking off with the Miss America” title. But wait — that beautiful singing — it was coming from the singing room. The gang from the New York Fibber elbowed its way through the mob and emerged from under what proved to be Pete” Angelakis, camp stool (semper paratis is his guide). And there in the center of a throng of admirers were — Nancy King and Elizabeth Olikamen. They had become famous, as perhaps you know, under the radio names, The Moylan Sisters.” Their charming pink and blue rose bud frocks, with the new off-the-knees hemline, were designed by the eccentric designer, Irene Lebel. Standing by, scowling ferociously at Irene was her chief competitor, the great Eva Lehto, who alone knew the secret of the Swanzy Sizzle Seamless Sarong, her most recent creation, which caused a sensation as worn by Penelope Macrinotis. Taking regretful leave of the two lovely songbirds the crowd continued the hunt for the missing celebrity. There by the railing leaning over and peering pop-eyed into the cheering black waters were Olga Harrisonchuk and Marion Jackson, who revealed the startling news thrt down there under water tussling with a baby octopus was Edward Ingalls. To the greatly alarmed reporter they calmly explained that Ed had bet them a quarter he could out-box the octopussy and they didn’t intend to offer any help till he paid up. At that moment Ed’s triumphant head popped above the surface. Before you could blink an eye muscle, a life preserver was tossed by Loretta Mar- quis, which caught him square between the eyes. As he went under, he was heard to mumble, Did you hear about the moron who — gurgle.” Fear not, fair readers, he didn ' t die a horrible death but was lifted aboard in Orania Koutzoukis’ snood. As the search progressed to the ship infirmary who should they meet but Phyllis Matsur (who, if you can believe the latest rumors, is now Mrs. Victor Mature). Phyllis, holding a bouquet of dandelions, was solicitously inquiring as to the condition of Stella Medeadis’ health. Stella unfortunately had dislocated three and one-half toes on her left foot while perfecting her latest dance step. Perched around, under, and above her bed were a few sympathetic fellow Rockettes — none other than Catherine Panta- zopoulos, Louise Paulino, and Mary Nickitopoulos. The commotion in ward E was discovered to be William Saw- chuk, eminent politician, objecting vehemently to being put into a straight jacket. Deftly ducking his flailing fists and waving arms were Alec Stathopoulos and Charles Speliotes. The cause for this savage outburst was revealed by weeping Ann Parsons and Doris Perkins, his two faithful yes-women.” They had (the beasts, the cruel, heartless brutes) actually driven the poor unforunate man out of his head — they had said NO.” With tears of sympathy for Mr. Sawchuk, the search party moved on and out on deck, away from such depressing atmosphere. A wild yell caused Scoop” to look up quickly and then, as he jumped aside, a fly- ing mass of arms and legs plopped with appropriate exclamations (not to be printed here) at his dainty feet. When the owner- ship of the said arms and legs was properly established they were found to be the extremities of Grace Taveras, Anna Tenedios, and Amelia Speliotis. They had been practicing on the ropes above, so that they could run for president, vice president, and secretary respectively, of Miss Riley’s Apparatus Club. The three were gallantly picked up, brushed off and conducted to the soda bar for a refreshing coke by Izzie” Schorr, Herb” Scribner, and Alvan Souza (also, respectively). Proceeding up-deck the gang’s eye was caught by the occupant of one of the deck chairs. Slouched way down in the chair, at- tired in red trousers, white shirt and sun glasses, was a sleeping form, strangely familiar. On prodding him awake, it was found to be none other than visiting fireman, Charles Paputsis. Filling the deck chair next to him, whom he insisted upon waking, was Page One Hundred and Twenty-six META Peabody High School his bride of six months, Jennie Retos. The course of conversa- tion was interrupted by two lovely young women, saleswomen for the House of Horrors” complexion aids, Hazel Southwick and Catherine Skahill. They proceeded to disclose to everyone in gen- eral the destruction that the sea air wreaks on a woman’s face; but they cheerfully added that with their wonderful cream, Sea Slush,” beauty would quickly return. (Where has it been?) And to prove the effectiveness of the marvelous beauty pack, they grabbed Jennie Petropoulos and Elizabeth Pierce and slathered the cream all over their shining faces. The gang being in a hurry didn ' t wait to see if they really became beautiful. As Scoop” Hallinan walked hurriedly along the sliding deck, he stopped abruptly and stared at an attractive young lady, sitting all alone on the railing repeating over and over to herself, I am, too, I am, too — ” Being curious by nature and by his profession, Scoop” asked gently, You am, too, what, young lady?” I am, too, a natural blonde.” said Evelyn Nichols. With a sympathetic sigh, Scoop” walked on. As he rounded a corner he crashed head-on and feet-off into Mary Rose and Made- line St. Paul , clad in shorts and sweaters (no whistling, please) and on their way to their ping-pong lesson. Strangely enough, they hadn ' t been learning very rapidly, but then who could learn ping-pong with handsome Harry Ankeles as teacher! Scoop” sped on, following a suspicious looking character with a suspicious looking animal on a pink ribbon. However, on close examination, it proved to be only Irene Spaneas clad in dungarees and her pet pekinese Chow-chow — Maine.” Now down in the hold of the big ship Scoop” ran into the rest of the group from the New York Fibber, who had finally worked their way down to the dark hold in their fruitless search for the missing Plato. Well,” said Scoop,” There remains but one place on this ship that we have not searched — -and that is” — he pause d and lit a cigarette they told us in English that suspense was the key note of good short stories) — and that is” — he repeated — the en- gine room! At this clever suggestion everyone made a mad scramble to the door of the engine room. There each one piling up on the preceding one they stopped abruptly. For there sitting cross-legged on the floor, calmly knit- ting little sweaters and discussing world events were Eugenia Quad- ros and Josephine Spinale. Stepping agilely over them with a polite Scuse please,” the gang flung open the door to the engine room and stumbled in. There in the center of the room, in front of the big hot furnace were three men with their heads together muttering softly and then not too softly. A small voice yelled seven, seven, come on you, old seven!” The two nearest the door were immediately recognized as Victor Bogash and Wa lter Silva. There was a deep sigh and there arose — swathed in a large white towel, stating emphatically across the front property of the ship, Neptune” — none other than the missing diplomat! Shucks, remarked Plato, gripping his towel, I never was any good in a crap game. And there on a note of humor we end our prophecy. May you all take it” in the spirit of fun. You are a swell gang and the best of luck to one and all. A. H„ M. A., V. L., A. G„ M. G„ W. C. Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Twenty-seven CLASS Att-en-shun!

GOLF TEAM APPARATUS CLUB Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Thirty-nine GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Our girls’ athletic program in senior year differed in many respects from the program offered in previous years. Because of transportation difficulties our basketball games with neighboring schools were abandoned and our basketball rivalry was confined to our intramural contests which proved most interesting and ex- citing. All girls interested in the sport were taught the fundamentals of the game by our popular director. Miss Helen Riley. Something new was added early in the year when Miss Riley organized an apparatus club with more than eighty girls participat- ing in the various gymnastic exercises. The club met every Mon- day afternoon to exercise with the bars, the horse and the box. During the course of the year the girls learned many dance rou- tines among which was the popular Rufty Tufty.” The gym classes were divided as in former years into two teams, the Blues and the Whites. Throughout the year the teams kept their scores in competitive games in the hope that some suit- able cup or award might be made to the winning team. The outstanding senior girls of the teams were: Mary Burke Elizabeth Bumpus Louise Bender Shirley Dullea Priscilla Ferguson Blue Team Louise Gates Anne Gilmore Alice Hardy Phyllis Hollingsworth Angelina Kappotis Barbara Stevens Peggy Swartz Louise Kelley Phyllis Levchuk Patricia Lawless Jane Merrow Claire Menici Grace Tavares Evelyn Ostapchuk Doris Perkins Joan Partridge Eugenia Quadros Frieda Raucci White Team Agnes Gauthier Loretta Marquis Jean Partridge Ermenia Villa Marion Davis Dorothy Doyle Betty Finegold Cynthia Field Frannie Stocker CHEER LEADERS . STRIKES” AND SPARES” Page One Hundred and Forty-two META Peabody High School BOWLING The time: Wednesday afternoons. The time: 2 p. m. The place: Foster Street Bowling Emporium. How we did enjoy our bowling sessions under the guidance of Miss Riley. Some of us were not so good when we rolled our first ball down the shining alley. Some of us, in fact, had a little difficulty in keeping the ball on the alley. But we came along rapidly and before many weeks the strikes and spares were chalked up quite frequently. Following is the list of teams which participated in these Wednesday afternoon frolics: Spars Jean Partridge Joan Partridge Frederica Donahue Army Air Corps Peggy Bropby Margaret Murphy Ruth Murphy Marines Dorothy Doyle Frannie Stocker Doris Kelley Virginia Reed BOWLING TEAMS Paratroopers Helen Trodella Mary Burke Jane Merrow Alice Hardy Merchant Marines Connie Quirk Katherine Liacos Shirley Fellows Marian Diachisin Navy Phyllis Hollingsworth Barbara Stevens Phyllis Osgood UP A ACS Muriel Kaster Commandos Norma Beane Barbara Perkins Elizabeth Bumpus WAVS Mary Rose Bubbles Worsencroft Evelyn Jackson Mary Wilson Navy Air Corps Geraldine O ' Keefe Patricia Krolinsky Claire Murray Mary Bertoldi Jeeps Marie Greene Patricia LeCain Erminia Villa Jeanne Luz WAVES Barbara Goff Rose Schorr Joanne Keith Katherine Endslow META Page One Hundred and Forty-three Peabody High School AFTERWORD We present to the class of ’43 the completed META.
