THE META Class of 1944 Peabody High School Page Two META Peabody High School FOREWORD This META marks the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end. It marks the end of those happy, carefree years which we spent obtaining our basic education. It also marks the beginning of adulthood and our entrance into a new world. This year we have come to the crossroads. We must all make decisions which will affect our whole future. These decisions will take away our gay, leisurely life and direct us on the path of newer and more important activities and responsibilities in the days to come. The boys of our class, our pals and buddies, are the heroes of tomorrow. The girls, with whom we gossip and play, will shoulder much of the respons- ibility of the home front. We are old before our time, and though we may never recapture these joyous days. The META of 1944 will be a reminder of those years of fun and friendship we shared together in our youth. To us, the men and women of the future, this book will help to imprint upon our memories the tears and triumphs of our High School Days.

ARTHUR J. BARRY Princibal Peabody High School META Page Seven OUR PRINCIPAL As we embark upon careers that will take us to every corner of the earth, we find ourselves heavily indebted to our friend and principal, Mr. Arthur J. Barry. During our four years when we were struggling through thfe complex problems that always seemed to confront us, he has been ever ready to lend a helping hand. His guidance and encouragement have played an important part in preparing us for the years that lie ahead. The success that we have in life will be in no small measure attributable to his understanding and untiring efforts in our behalf.

You have been our teachers, our educators, our advisers, and much more. You have been our friends, counselling us in the paths of learning and thought, fixing in us the roots of good citizenship as become the graduates of Peabody High School. We may not. at all times, have been thoroughly appreciative of what you, as teachers, had done or were doing for us. In these times there seems to be too much ahead. Too much for some; for others — nothing. The spirit of education is not an easy thing to maintain in war time. Too few realize its vital connection with the war effort, especially the students. Even so. as we leave, we feel the loss of many things — our learning, our books, our teachers. Yet in leaving, we take much with us. Through your untiring efforts we were introduced to many things which will have a very definite bearing on the lives we lead in the years to come. In the years that lie ahead, in the years after peace, when we have had time to recall and evaluate, we shall undoubtedly see the great part you played in forming our ideas and ideals. The world ahead, through us. will be a part of you. We can hope for no more than to carry the spirit which is you on into that world. THE META STAFF Peabody High School META Page Eleven Mr. Arthur J.

Peabody High School META Page Thirteen CLASS ODE School days now are past and gone, And yet we want to linger here, For each joy that we have known, Tis sad to leave our friends so dear. Chorus: Now we bid our fond farewell. Time has come to part. We join the others gone before, In distant land or shore. The world before us lies. Yet here our mem’ries dwell; With dewey eyes, we bid farewell. Words by Miriam Kuusisto Music by Joyce Cohen Page Fourteen META Peabody High School SARA E.

REVUE OUR TWINS Unusual is the distinction of the Class of ' 44 in having not one set of twins, but two. Alphabetically speaking, we have the Krechmarowskis, Nellie and Olga, and the Powells, Hazel and Marjorie. Many people, unacquainted with our class, think they are seeing double when they see Nellie and Olga walking through the familiar corridors of Peabody High School. For as you can see by their photos, they are almost identical. They never fail to baffle teachers and friends alike. But look for yourself, and see if you can see any difference between them. Hazel and Marjorie, however, are exact opposites, as far as appearances go, for Hazel is as blond as can be, Marjorie as dark. All four girls have been prominent members of our class during their entire high school course and have contributed in no small measure to the success of our class. Marjorie, of the Powell twins, served most efficiently as Editor-in-Chief of our META. Only four members of our class but how much would we be losers were it not for their loyalty and affection! Peabody High School META Page ' H.inety ' five “SCHOOL DAZE” September 8, 1943 — Here we go trudging back to school for our Senior year. The corridors, teachers and most of the students are familiar to us. As we walk along the well-trod hallways, we can’t help remembering what it was like when we timidly began our high school days. Yes, it seems as though it were only yesterday that we were bewildered-looking Freshmen. It is entirely different now. With chests expanded and noses high in the air we possess that superior attitude and walk around as though we had priority on the place. There is nothing like being a Senior — is there? And there’s no use denying — we love it when the underclassmen look upon us with hero-worship. As we prophesied — the class of ’44 came through! September 11, 1943 — The school year is really starting off with a bang! Today with ideal September football weather, we had our first football game. It was a glorious day, and getting off to a good start, we beat Marblehead 6 to 0. We had brand new cheer leaders, snappy cheers and everything. Oh, what else could we possibly ask for! September 17, 1943 — In keeping with the times, we had a practice air raid drill. This enabled us to go home before the day was half over. We realized the serious- ness of the occasion, but were inclined to look at the lighter side instead. September 22, 1943 — First call to assembly — and for Sen- iors at that. V e like that secluded atmosphere — for “Seniors only”, and now we had a chance to see who really belongs to this great class of ours. We couldn’t help but notice how our class had dwindled since we first entered these massive portals four years ago. September 27, 1943 — Today we exercised our Constitutional right of voting. We believe we have placed the gov- erning of the class in the hands of reliable fellow- members. Jimmy Argeros, our President; Connie Leonard, Vice President; Harry Lawrence, Treasurer; and Priscilla Grant, Secretary. With these energetic leaders in charge, how can we help but have both a successful and eventful year? October 12, 1943 — Columbus discovered America in 1942, and it seems to us that an equally important event took place this evening in 1943. Do you remember or have you given up? Well, it was our Senior Barn Dance. We learned from a reliable source that it was the most successful one in years, socially and finan- cially. That’s good news both ways, when you think of class contacts AND class dues. No, we’re not mercenary! What gave you that idea? October 19, 1943 — Remember that empty, lost feeling in the pit of your stomach? Today, for instance, we had a chance to show what we hadn’t learned in these past two months. That’s right, we were being exposed to our bi-monthly exams. Some students, however, did manage to come through with flying colors. It just happened that they sat in back of some one who knew all the answers. We must try to make those contacts next time. October 27, 1943 — This war has its good points, too. We had the day off today for rationing. These days off ev ' ery once in a while do us good; anyway we think so. We must watch it tomorrow though; the teachers had to work hard today. REMEMBER? OUR JUNIOR PROM! Peabody High School META Page ' H.inety ' seven November 10, 1943 — Some sneak up on it, others take a quick glance and gulp, while a few lucky ones beam brightly and happily. Oh, you know what we’re talk- ing about — report cards! ' They’ve shown up again. December 1, 1943 — Line up against the wall! Stand straight! Give your name! No, we aren’t facing a Nazi firing squad; we’re only getting measured for caps and gowns. December 7, 1943 — Two years ago today we were caught unawares. Look at the advance we’ve made since that time. Our boys are doing a magnificent job. December 18, 1943 — Soft strains of a waltz floated through the auditorium, boys and girls glided across the floor, a galaxy of colored skirts wove in and out swaying gently and gracefully. Our high school days may be- come hazy memories, but the beautiful scene of our Christmas Ball will never fade away. January 5, 1944 — Just to wake us up from the New Year’s slumber, someone dropped a bomb!!! It was the idea of the Gay Nineties Revue. January 10, 1944 — Aw, come on, don’t be bashful, smile! No? Well, look at the birdie then! Will we ever forget? Graduation pictures! Some are already in circulation, others are still in process. The Studio reported that as yet the camera has not been broken. January 16, 1944 — Today, probably for the first time all year, we really settled down to business and began to work seriously. We brought in all the talent and original ideas for our first rehearsal of the Revue. The Revue is in our systems now — we oat, sleep and drink it — and talk about it from morning until night. January 20, 1944 — Have you noticed the serious expressions and the number of rabbit’s feet being displayed? We are facing this day of doom with brave but anxious smiles. Shrouded in a funeral cloak, midyear exams are trying to sadden our happy lives. But you watch! - The class of ’44 always comes through. February 17th and 18th, 1944 — Red letter days are here on our Senior calendar. Everyone dropped what he was doing, grabbed his hat, joined the passing crowd and came to our P. H. S. Revue. Can you ever forget what a super success it was? Many thanks go to Miss Riley for her original ideas and perseverance. The Senior Class is very grateful to her for bringing about the best time of our Senior year. And by the way, didn’t the boys look cute with side burns and moustaches? February 25, 1944 — Something new has been added — thanks to Mr. Gustafson. These little surprises cer- tainly build up our morale. We had an assembly instead of sixth period, which was wonderful in itself. But to top it off, it was a basketball game between Home Rooms 201 and 102 for the school championship. Nat- rally — as was fitting and proper — the Seniors won! February 27, 1944 — The corridors are beginning to echo already. The reason is because so many of our vigor- ous Senior boys have left for the service. We, who have survived, will miss them, but will try to carry on to the best of our ability. Truly, our loss is the coun- try’s gain. March 1, 1944 — A Defense Stamp Drive begins today. We’re all anxious to have our Home Rooms head the list but more than that — we ' re contributing all we can so our boys can come home sooner OUR OFFICERS IN JUNIOR YEAR Peabody High School META Page T inetynine March 8, 1944 — Returning to school full of vim and vigor after a week’s vacation, we find our class is diminish- ing very rapidly. Those boys who are not leaving for the service are taking a Pre-Induction Training course at different Trade schools in the vicinity. Girls, now you can really talk about the Man Powen Shortage! We also find at this time that our teachers James Carlin, Frank Johnson, and Ed Donahue have already either gone into the service or are leaving soon. The place certainly will not be the same wdthout them. April 5, 1944 — The day of reckoning has come. At an assembly for juniors and seniors the Honor Students were announced. Our valedictorian is Edith Rosenstein, and our salutatorian is Thelma LeBlanc. All parts were given to deserving and good students and we could see from their happy beaming countenances that they were proud of their accomplishments. We offer hearty congratulations to them for their perse- verance and hard work during their complete High School course. May 31, 1944 — The event tonight is the Senior Banquet, and a jolly event it is! It is the last exclusive get- together we’ll have. We are celebrating in grand style — even our orchestra and dancing afterwards. There’s no doubt about it, we Seniors do everything in a big way! June 4, 1944 — The Great Day. We’ve been waiting for this day for years and dreaming of the glorious moment wheii we would step up to get our diploma, but some- how actually it is a lot different. It is so much sadder than we could have ever imagined, to bid our last farewells. June 7, 1244 — The Night Alv. ' ays to be Remembered — our Reception.

On the eve of the “glorious fourth” as the entire nation waited expectantly with an ear to the radios to hear the well-known, widely acclaimed, super-duper com- mentator, a member of the never to be forgotten class of ’44, WILLIAM “BUTTONS” MEAGHER announce the spectacular opening of the World’s Fair at the nation’s Capitol, Washington, D. C.; two suave most eligible bach- elors, owners and proprietors of the famous Handy Andy Drugstore in Peabody, Mass., boarded “The World’s Fair Limited” at the exclusive Beverly Airport. As HARRY LAWRENCE and LEO ROY seated them- selves in the rear of the plane (where they had a nice view of the young, attractive stewardess DOROTHY COT- TON) the booming voice of the flight officer, FRED “SON- NY” LINDGREN resounded through the plane as he gave the command “contact”. The gleaming silver plane took slowly into the air propelled by those two great pilots, “PETE” BOURAS and “ERNIE” CHRONIS. The smooth flight of the plane was suddenly interrupted by the pierc- ing shriek of the woman seated in front of Harry and Leo. “Mat, my fingernail broke,” wailed the wmman. Harry searched his mind. Where had he heard those words before: Could it be? Yes — it was. NINA MITULINSKY and MATTHEW GRAYTON on their way to the Fair in celebration of their tenth wedding anniversary. A great reunion took place between these four. As the plane prepared to land there was a great dis- turbance in the baggage room. A stowaway had been discovered! “Let me out. I’m about to suffocate.” Who else could be so full of pep and hot air as MURIEL “BY THE SEA” RASTER? When the plane landed two burly, gruff policemen came to grab the stowaway. Much to Muriel ' s amazement the officers of the law were RAY KARO and JAMES STA- THOS who naturally let her off easily. Harry and Leo stepped off the plane into the arms of the w ' aiting multitude of reporters, photographers, pas- sengers, etc. “Autographs please” came the meek voice of the “Washington Star’s” best reporter SOPHIE BITCHELL. “Porter, porter,” shouted the two blackfaced Red Caps, LEO STAID and MARTY WHITE, rushing through the crowd grabbing their bags. The two celebrities were led through the mob to an aw ' aiting cab driven by that speed demon of the high- ways FRANCIS ALDUS. “Didn’t yo’ahl fo’get somethin’ boss?” asked Marty in a pleading voice. Leo looked at Harry and Harry at Leo. Then a frown, a sigh, and a groan and finally Harry dropped 2 shiny new silver pennies into the opened palms of Marty and Staidy. “Hold it,” s ' louted that dynamic camera fiend of the “Peek” magazine, BOB OLSEN, as the camera clicked. The taxi sped off to the famous Mayflower Hotel owned and operated by the financial wizard, JAMES ARGEROS. Upon reaching the front entrance of the hotel the door of the cab was opened by a tall, handsomely attired man in navy blue and gold braid, doorman DAVE BURRE. Harry and Leo were graciously escorted into the hotel lobby by two vivacious bellboys, LEO BONFANTI and “SOCCY” CHERLAS. “Won’t you allow me to help you?” asked the fastid- ious clerk at the registrar’s desk, and Harry and Leo alarmed at the voice, looked up at the beaming face of Prmohal ARTHUR I. BARRY Vice-Pnnapal J. HENRY HIGGINS MRS. GREGORY F. CONLEY MISS KATHLEEN HALLAHAN Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Three clerk AL TIERNEY. The effect was shocking and the tum- ult th at followed echoed throughout the great hotel. Police came, the fire department arrived, and the F. B. I. came just to see the cause of this great disturbance. Police chief GEORGE ALLEN alias “CHOCCY” rushed through the door followed by his two able assistants, ALEXANDER J. BOGASH and JAMES DUGGAN better known as “RED”, and came face to face with that effer- vescent fire chaser “BILL” TRASK. To top it all, there stood that outstanding sleuth, that wonder boy of the F. B. I. w ' ho was taking charge during the absence of J. Edgar, FRANCIS WYNNE. When this great triumverate noticed the cause of this uproar they forgot their complaints and rushed to welcome their life-long friends, Harry and Leo. Suddenly everyone’s attention was focused on shriek- ing, swooning, screaming maiden’s voices heard in thun- derous acclaim of that idol of the stage, screen, and television, glamour boy PETER GIANARELES, who saun- tered casually through the lobby toward Harry and Leo. In the group of girls that followed him in adoration, fore- most were those two great fans, RUTHIE McGRATH and MARIE McVANN. “Pete” looked at Harry and Leo and, seeming at first not to recognize them, suddenly stopped and whirled around. As Harry and Leo and “Pete” talked over old times, the strains of “EDDIE” PAUL and his “Slip and Fall” Orchestra, came drifting through the lobby and the crowd dispersed to hear “BARB” HAZEL, his petite vocalist sing the old time favorite, “Mairsy Doats”. Bright and early the following morning Harry and Leo were seen leaving the hotel, for a walk around Washington before setting out for the Fair. Passing the “Dish Knight” theatre, they saw on the marquee the glamorous and exotic star, “DOTTIE” PERAKIS playing in “Follow the Boys” with that sophisticated man-about- town, tbe toast of Hollywood, “BUDDY” HOLLINGS- WORTH. The co-feature was the lovable and fascinating screen couple, “BILLY” WELCH and “ERNIE” BOURGEOIS, starring in that exciting and dramatic classic “Nellie, the Farmer’s Daughter”. As they walked down the boulevard they noticed the many different products advertised. The faces were fam- iliar and as they came closer they saw that one of the billboards advertising “The Ipana Smile of Beauty” was posed by that outstanding male model of the year, “BERT” McOSKER. Noticing a familiar face across the street, the two, heedless of the policeman’s whistle, dashed across and saw MARY DEROSIER at present, secretary to that legal genius “DANNY” RANDALL, ENTERING TINA PISANO’S “SHARP AS A DART” FASHION APPAREL SHOPPE. “Where do you think you’re going? This is no place for jaywalking,” bellowed the voice of a policewoman, KOULA TSAPATSARIS, who hurried them off to court quick as a flash. They sped through the city to Washing- ton Municipal Court. As Capt. Koula led the two law- breakers up tbe stairs, they were halted by the boisterous and vigorous voice of LESTER MATTHEWS shouting “EXTRA, EXTRA, Read all about it, 1960’s heiress DOR- OTHY SHIRLEY GRANT elopes to Reno with that sub- sinking, Merchant Mariner, JOHN LEVASSEUR.” Harry grabbed “THE NEWS TWINKLES” from the hands of Les- ter and noticed that it was edited by that Dorothy Thomp- son of Washington, D. C., LAURA WOOD. Captain Koula snatched the paper from Harry’s hands and gave it back to the weeping Lester and marched them down the middle aisle to face HIS HONOR, JUDGE ALBERT THIBODEAU, Jr. Clerk BERTRAM HUDON opened the court session for the first day. “Oyez, Oyez”. The clamoring ceased. Court secretary ALICE KING was seated to record the procedure. “Case No. 1 State vs. WILLIAM KAJOS. Charge, Polyg- amy.” The side door opened and Kajos drooped to the wit- ness stand, followed by his mouthpiece, MICHAEL ARA- THUZIK. Kajos sneaked a glance at his five wives seated in the first row. There they were, the weeping damsels in distress, BETTY BERNSTEIN, DOROTHY DOUCAS, and three socialites from “out of town”. CANDID SHOTS Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Five Judge Tib looked at Billy and Betty and Dot and pronounced the sentence. “I hereby sentence you to go out and get a new wife.” Then in a confidential tone Tibby asked, “By the way, where did you get them all?” “Next Case.” Suddenly the court proceedings were interrupted by the screaming voice of BETTY O’BRIEN, as she rushed down the aisle shouting, “Help! Help! My hair is on fire.” Court attendant “GUSSY” GOMES snatched the fire extinguisher and deadened the flame. Judge Thibodeau pounded the gavel and shouted, “Order, order in the court.” Harry and Leo timidly marched to the bench escorted by the police. Leo presented their case and Judge Thibo- deau decreed a $2 fine or “ten years at hard labor.” Grudgingly Leo gave the two dollars to the Judge and the case was closed. Out in the free sunlight once again, they spied “TONY’S FRUIT WAGON” owned and pushed by that great fruit man, TONY PINTO. Next to Tony stood a smartly dressed advertising executive, MARY LABERIS, who was purchasing her weekly supply of those once hard-to-get delicious yellow bananas which were imported from South America from “JIM” MELLO’S Melloripe Ban- ana Plantation. As Harry and Leo approached the wagon, Harry turned to speak to Leo and noticed that he wasn’t there. What had happened to his erstwhile companion? There he was, sprawled over the sidewalk! Harry knelt over the limp body and asked in an anxious voice, “Leo! Leo! speak to me. What happened?” Looking for the cause of Leo’s downfall, Harry discovered a yellow, Melloripe banana peel. Then the shrieking siren of an ambulance speeding toward the scene of the accident broke the deathly still- ness of the saddened group. The brakes screeched as the ambulance came to a sudden stop. The door opened and out stepped Doctor ROBERT PRINCE and that safe and sane driver, JACK MULCAHY Leo was rushed to the Washington Memorial Hospital where Superintendent of Nurses, that efficient and brisk matron SHIRLEY M. NEWTON took charge of the case aided by her capable assistant R. N. ESTHER FREEDMAN. Superintendent Newton called in that reliable surgeon DR. GEORGE MARTIN CAMPBELL who had been in con- ference with a trustee of this massive Institution, RAY- MOND G. SAWCHUK concerning the recovery of the hi- larious comedienne of that famous vaudeville number, “Daisy”, ELEANOR AMES (her leading man was now Allan Roltsch) who was recuperating from a mild attack of convulsions. Suddenly the rush of padded feet was heard, as trained nurse, “SIS” ABELL and Lab Technician THELMA LEBLANC ran down the corridor in search of sleepwalking case No. 671 who had escaped from the ward. The entire hospital was thrown into an uproar, patients fainted, nurses screamed, and doctors bit their fingernails. Where was he? And then Cook LILYAN PETKUS dashed up the stairs pursued by him. There he was revealed to the public — GUS SWAZCK. Harry was stunned beyond words. Just then the sweet voice of the Hospital’s Telephone Operator VICKI KRISKO came over the loudspeaker. “Surgery — Calling Dr. Better, DR. SHIRLEY E. BET- TER! Surgery!” As the two adventurers prepared to leave, a stagger- ing mountain of florist boxes appeared before them. Carrying them was JOHN MANNING, delivery boy for LEN NY JONES’S “Get-your-money’s-worth,-two-for-a-nick- el-cheap-at-ha ' f-the-price-”Flower Shop. Nurse MARY WILSON led the weak and limp Leo escorted by Harry, out into the sunshine. Walking along Pennsylvania Avenue their attention was attracted by an airplane depositing its load on the community. Political pamphlets for President and Vice President on the “Failure ' Ticket,” CHARLES RAVARIS the head of a great political machine and NEIL WIGGIN his able adviser and candidate on his own. Harry and Leo begrudged the fact that they would not be in Washington long enough to vote, but such was life. And anyway it CANDID SHOTS Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Seven was just about time to go to the Fair. After all that is why they came here to Washington in the first place. Marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, in search of a taxi, they met GUNNAR KOSKINEN who was searching for his wife, HELEN PAPPAS, who had disappeared. Harry and Leo helped Gunnar look for Helen. They searched every nook and corner of the block and then they came to the climatic spot. She had to be there, or else she was gone forever. It was a terrible dilemma but worth a try. So Gunnar, aided by Leo and Harry, went timidly into DOROTHY GILES, “Women walk miles to come to Giles” Beauty Salon. Being receptionist and owner of the shop, Dottie welcomed the intrusion of the triumverate, with a beaming smile. She recognized them quickly and pro- ceeded to show them around the Salon. Gunnar refused to be shown around before first being assured of Helen’s whereabouts. Dottie easily took care of that, by exposing hair dresser CATHERINE CAULFIELD engrossed in her work of shampooing Helen’s hair. With his mind set at ease, Gunnar consented to be taken on a tour of the shop. Over in one corner sat a woman clad in a mud pack with her hair set in pin curls. The three men stood horror- stricken as they recognized her to be that great designer of women’s headgear — ESTHER STERNBERG. In the next booth under a monstrous dryer sat the wife of “TEDDY” COURIS, one of Washington’s greatest and noblest statesmen. On closer inspection she proved to be RENEE TAVARES. Leo and Harry were enjoying themselves immensely. Regretting to leave but finding it necessary, they bade their friends good-bye and made a dignified exit. They hailed a Checker Cab from across the street and were about to direct the driver to the Fair, when they found him to be THOMAS COOMBS. “Coombsie” as- sured Harry and Leo that they would reach the fair safely. True to his word, they soon arrived at the gates of the magnificent and enchanting Fair grounds. Throngs of people, from all over the world laughing and talking and gayly dressed, were passing through these immense portals. Harry and Leo stopped to take in this breath- taking scene. Harry nudged Leo and both pairs of eyes looked up- ward to see a seventy foot sign proclaiming that the Fair buildings were designed and constructed by that architectural genius JAMES “SPEED” DONLON, owner of the Noonan Construction Company. “I always knew that boy would get someplace in this world,” murmured Leo softly to Harry. Then their attention was diverted from their remin- iscing thoughts by the entrance of the colorful and clam- oring circus band led by that master of the horn MIKE TKACHUK and his able assistant “BENNIE” GOLDSTEIN. Out in front of the band was that Mary Bezemes of Pea- body, Jeanne Ladd of Swampscott and all-around baton champion, THELMA NYMAN. She was applauded loudly for her comeliness, gracefulness and talent. Following the band through the gates Harry and Leo mingled with the multitude and bumped into guide JOE SHUSTOWSKY dressed in snappy blue and white, pushing the sight seeing carriage. Beside him stood his crony, ANDREW SPILIOTIS giving information about the various buildings. Harry and Leo stepped into the buggy and program distributor GEORGE METROPOLIS handed them a leaflet showing the highlights of the Fair which they noticed was “hot off the press” of the CHARLES ANEZIS Printing Firm. And then they w’ere ready to start on their tour. Riding down the boulevard they spied three fashion- ably attired, young women, “BARB” BALLARD, CLARA FORMAN and CLAIRE CHERBUY entering “MADEMOI- SELLE FIFI’S CRYSTAL BALL”. A ravishing woman stood at the entrance and beckoned all Fair-goers to enter her parlor. This fabulously dressed woman was gorgeous EFFIE PAPPACOSTAS, better known as Mile. Fifl. Then the Automatic Car Building loomed before them and Harry and Leo stepped into the magnificent structure. There they were impressed by the parade of the cars of the Future. Leading the parade was the new transparent auto- matically controlled “Zephyr” behind the wheel of which sat “DICKIE” KING pushing the buttons. Second in line was a super-streamlined “Blitzkrieg” driven by “RICHIE” Page One Hundred and Eight META Peabody High School KOHUT. Many other cars passed in review, but the last car in line was the one which really attracted attention. It was a new type of “Baby Austin”, so compact that it could be folded up and put in the pocket and it was driven by the First Lady of the Land, the “Eleanor Roose- velt of 1960”, CONNIE LEONARD. After having completely gone through this building the two companions left to visit the next one — the General Foods Building. Noticing a large crowd of people over in one corner and being naturally curious, Harry and Leo strolled over to find a beautiful blonde demonstrating the right and wrong way to crack an egg. “Now watch closely friends, and I will show you the correct and only way to break an egg.” The comely blonde took the egg and gently cracked it on the side of the bowl. Just then Harry and Leo reached the front of the line after the hard work of pushing and shoving and stepping on other people ' s toes (they were out of practise from the days when they at- tempted to get their food down at the P. H. S. Lunch Counter) and they saw the demonstrator to be none other than HELEN LEHTO. Suddenly the crowd dispersed hurriedly to the left and Harry and Leo were also pushed along. Free samples of food were being presented so natu rally they paused to receive the nourishment. Who was distributing the samples? Why none other than our own MARY CHRISTO. In the long line that was forming, Harry spied two of his former classmates grabbing the samples. He hastened to greet his friends. After conversing with them, Harry learned that LIONEL SILVA was now Director of the National Sports League and JOHN OSEPCHUK was the present Professor of Mathematics at Georgetown Uni- versity Having filled themselves with the free samples, Harry and Leo returned to their guides and were off once ae ' ain. To the right of the Esplanade stood SHIRLEY ROSE’S AQUACADE. Assured of a spectacle of beautiful girls, they entered. A sudden splash of water, a far-reaching spray and then a bobbing head revealed to them the Diving Champion of the U. S., reknowned for her grace and pulchritude, MARILYN GNESS. They then seated themselves among the audience to awai t the Cavalcade of Bathing Beauties — The Aquadorables. Looking over the girls as they began their wonderful feats, Harry and Leo noticed the girl, who was second from the end, first line, next to a beautiful redhead, to be the torpedo of the deep sea, MARIE MEADE. After the aquafemmes finished their performance, the Twin Sister Act which had swept the country was featured, and with a flash of the spotlights and a lowering of the footlights, NELLIE anr OLGA KRECHMAROWSKI, stepped out amidst the applause. The finale of the great Rose Aquacade was the crown- ing of Miss America of 1960. It was a tense and momen- tous occasion, the crowd waited expectantly as the bath- ing beauties slowly walked in front of the reviewing stand. Judge THOMAS “SULLY” SULLIVAN stood up with the crown in his hand ready to name the queen. A very lovely and enchanting young lady stepped forward when “Sully” called the name Miss MIRIAM KUUSISTO. Harry and Leo, on hearing this, leaped from their chairs and their cries were heard above all. As night was falling our heroes hurried to the “Cosmos Club” situated on the Fair grounds, a favorite night spot, for Washington’s social life. Hostess PHYLLIS DOW cor- dially welcomed them and took them to a reserved table where the entertainment could be easily viewed. The lights dimmed as a petite, delightful to look at, blues singer came from behind the curtain to sing her well known arrangement of “The Beer Barrel Polka”. It was none other than MICKEY “TORCHY” MacLEOD. After the delightful rendition of that song, popular, young night club announcer JOHN MacDONALD stepped forth to present the dancing team of “Chicquita and Juan”, the toast of Argentine. The castanets clicked, the drums rolled, and all heads turned to see the dashing South Americans who turned out to be PHYLLY and RALPH OSGOOD. After the show the two night owls, weary but happy, returned to their hotel for a good night’s rest. Awakening at mid-day the boys turned on the radio to hear “Frances Sinatra” of the air wav’es GRACE SILVA, Peabody High School META Page One Hundred arid I ' line who was making her noon-day broadcast, but to tbeir dismay all they could get was news commentator “VIC” “SCOOP” MATSUR breaking the news of the day. The radio blared forth “Flash — HAZIE and MIDGE POWELL, well known nature lovers disappeared into the wilds of Samar to prove their back to nature theories. Searching parties have been sent out. — Flash! The good ship “Lollipop” met wdth a terrible disaster at sea. All hands were rescued including Skipper PHIL MCCARTHY, who managed to save his valuable and prized possession, his P. H. S. diploma. That’s all for now folks, but I will be back tomorrow to bring you the latest news, sponsored by Suzy’s Soft Soap for smooth hands and sunny smiles. Your Washington Correspondent, VIC MATSUR. After a pause for station identification the announcer returned the broadcast to New York where PAULINE POSS, the Home Economist, gave her hints to the home lovers. Pauline’s voice resounded over the air waves. “And now homelovers, do you want your home to be marvelled at? Do you want people to stop and look at it? Do you want it to command attention? Well! stand in front of it”. That was the end. Anxious to see what other surprises were in store for them at the Fair, they were off with a bang!! Arriving at the now familiar Fair grounds, they met their guides of yesterday, Andy and Joe. Again they started on their tour but this time to a different section of the fair grounds. Walking along the boulevard they stopped at a sou- venir stand run by AUDREY JOHNSON and MILDRED PICANSO, life long friends who were selling souvenirs a “mile a minute”. Because these transactions were going on so rapidly the girls had in their employee VOULA KRONTERES, a very efficient and effervescent secretary and money handler. After looking over the merchandise, Harry and Leo found that there was nothing there to interest them. They decided to visit “FUTURAMA”, a tour of the future. At- tendant DORA NEKOLOPOULOS, attired in the clothes that were to come (made out of plastics), seated the two visitors in a traveling sound chair. The Futurama Tour began. They glided silently into the world of 1980, as an unseen voice unravelled the wondrous changes and improvements in the world to come. The voice struck a familiar chord as it said, “Strange? Unbelievable? Fan- tastic? Wel l, remember, this is the world of 1980. Who in the class of ’44 was so fluent with her words and so descriptive in her use of them as NORRINE WHIT ING, now narrator of the noon-day serial, “Apanda of Divorce Valley”. Harry and Leo sat enthralled as the magic world unfolded before them. Seated in in the rear next to them, Harry first noticed two feet outstretched, he followed them up to the face of ANDREW KASTANAPOLOUS, that notable Shakespearian actor starring now in “A MIDSUM- MER NIGHT’S DREAM.” The tour of the future was over before they knew it and they went out to their waiting guides. Walking once again on the Boulevard, they passed the Ford Exhibit, the Home Furnishing Building and the Court of Power. But what was this just ahead? An amusement park in full swing. A merry-go-round, a ferris wheel, boys and girls shrieking with glee on a pretzel-like sky ride. Entering this spot of fun and merriment they were first attracted by the Parachute Jump. Just before reach- ing the ground something had happened to the mechanism of the parachute, and the two figures of HELEN SOUCY and “GINNIE” LESPERANCE, two spinsters enjoying life, were now left suspended in mid-air above the heads of the startled crowd. The manager of the Parachute Jump, WINN BROUGHTON, came over and immediately correct- ed the difficulty by sending up tbe emergency helicopter. The girls were brought safely down and thanked him profusely. Oh what excitement! Oh! Oh! After this, the shooting gallery attracted our two sightseers and noting an exceptional sharpshooter in the midst, they were delighted to find that it was little MARY MELOTA shooting violin strings under the capable direc- tion of JOHN VAGGE Esq., just back from leading a safari in the dark wilds of Borneo. The shock was terrific and the boys suddenly had an empty feeling. It was their hunger overcoming them, so they decided to leave the Page One Hundred and Ten META Peabody High School amusement grounds and go to the League of Nations Court where they were served a delicious luncheon by waitress ALICE BARAKAS who was working there to get atmosphere for her new novel “Half-Baked”. As they were enjoying their repast composed of food from different countries, they were generous with their applause for the hit of the floor show, SUMNER BAKER and SOPHIE SIAK- ALLIS performing with great skill and dexterity, their reknowned Adagio Dance, in which they shot one another. It was truly remarkable. In the midst of the quiet that followed a menacing shout was heard as all the restaurant help went on a sit-down strike because manager EDDIE COLLINS wanted to sing the hit of the decade, “Way Down Upon the Swanee River”. Disgusted at the pandemonium that reigned they left the League Restaurant in a huff. They walked along the Lagoon which was bordered by beauti- ful shrubbery — the pride and joy of gardener HARRY DANISH, who was busily engaged in taking a rose thorn out of his finger. Deeply engrossed in watching this procedure, they were rudely aroused by a sudden poke in the back. Whirling around sharply, they saw little KATHERINE SIDERIS, catcher for the Washington’s “Sluggers” (Wom- en’s Softball Team) who informed them with a smile, that there were to be fireworks at the Lagoon of Nations late that evening. As one in her profession, she knew everything and wanted to tell everyone. Grateful for this information and anticipating an enjoyable evening, they then proceeded to the Court of States where they entered the Massachusetts Building. Seeing a display of newspapers from every city in the State, they went through them searching for the Peabody Times. At last the treasure was discovered and the headlines proclaimed in dark print that Faculty Man- ager ANNE BURKE, after many long years of wrangling with the Municipal Government, under the capable leader- ship of His Honor, Mayor WILLIAM (“Bill to his friends”) FREEMAN, had finally secured appropriations for a nev, ' Athletic Stadium. It was to be called the Water’s Bowl as authoress MARY WATERS had donated the profits of her best seller “A Bush Grows in Peabody” to the physical fitness program for Peabody’s Youth. Down in the corner of the frontpage of the “Times” was a colored advertisement proclaiming that the “DOT- TY” BRINZSKI Basement Emporium was holding an an- niversary sale in which they were offering a pair of silk stockings with every purchase of Mendonca Cosmetics by that make-up artist, MARY MENDONCA. Returning the paper to its stand they walked to the left of the building where the Low Grade Electrical Co. had sent their representatives, DOTTIE PUTNAM and MARIE QUADROS, to explain the intricacies and make up of Fluorescent Lights. After viewing the wonders of modern lighting, they decided they had seen enough of Massachusetts and w ' ere off to the New Jersey Building. Harry stopped to pat a little Pekinese dog who was leashed to a very feminine young woman. She proved to be none other than one of the models of the JOHN POWERS’ agency, PAULINE FELD- MAN. The vicious little Pekinese took a bite out of Harry’s pant leg and Harry leaped into the air shouting, “He bit me and he tore my pants.” Tailor ALBERT COHEN rushed from the Cohen’s Re- modeling Shop and with a needle and thread fixed Harry’s pants and our sightseers trudged off again. Looking down Constitution Avenue, they saw in the distance the symbol of the Fair, the “Pylon and Tersi- sphere”. Hiring a scooter bike from “PETE ZEILINSKI’S Scoot Company, they sped off. Finally reaching their des- tination, they nearly bumped into Chauffeur “DON” KAR- PINSKI, who was waiting for his employer MELVIN MER- KEN, Governor of the newly organized state of “Utopia”. Harry and Leo ventured into the Tersisphere to see what marvels were in store for them. As they entered the dark room they tripped over PAULINE YAMCHUK and THERESA TAGLIERI who were on their hands and knees searching for their escort OLAVI LEHTO who had disap- peared into the darkness. Harry and Leo pushed the emergency gong and Superintendent ANNIE TESHKO en- tered panting furiously. The searching five still could find no trace of Olavi. By this time the girls were in tears Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Eleven and Harry and Leo were frustrated, when suddenly, Quiz Kid, EDITH ROSENSTEIN, walked into their midst and solved the mystery. She went out and fetched Olavi who confessed that since he had only one dime he had sneaked out to buy himself a hotdog. Having had enough of the Tersisphere, they asked guide SYLVIA SUDAK to show them the way out. As throngs of people were entering the Telephone Building, they, too, entered. The first thing they noticed was director HELEN SOBUTKA greeting all the patrons with a smile. Experimental telephone operators CELIA SCHOLNICK and JENNIE STANKEVITCH were industri- ously engaged in making long distance calls as playboy MELVIN PIERCE was trying in vain to make a date over the wires for the evening show. In the center of the Hall stood opera singer NANCY LARRABEE featured in “The Singing Woodpecker”, who was making a recording of her lovely voice. Following Nancy’s example, they too make a record to send home to Mama. Outside of this building, ticket seller, EDWARD LAS- TIK rushed over to them and after recognizing them, handed them four passes to the Sportsman Show. Anxious to be there at the start, Harry and Leo immediately left for the performance. The attraction of the evening was a wrestling match between CHARLES “THE ANGEL” KARABELAS and “JIM” “BLACKIE” LALIKOS. After hours of grueling battling the fight ended in a draw and “Black- ie’s” trainer VIRGINIA KAY, a great sportswoman, was so disappointed that she lay down on the mat and cried. It was a touching scene but was quickly interrupted by that only woman referee of the nation, “RUTHIE” HARRIS who anounced the next attraction. It was a tug-of-war between those two rough and tough girls KATHERINE PAPPAGEORGE and AILEEN SULLIVAN. But time was flying and in order to view the fire work s spectacle, our boys had to leave the Sportsman Show. Smelling the delicious aroma of Italian spaghetti, they traced it to “VICKY” GIOLITO ' S Spagheteria. Italian spaghetti, Italian music floating through the air and the atmosphere was complete as Vicky came into the middle of the floor to announce that great impersonator of movie stars — MARY GREEHY. Mary’s performance was spec- tacular, but was interrupted by a loud explosion telling that the fire works had started. Rushing to the Lagoon of Nations once again, they came just in time to see the first woman Senator, ELEAN- OR CLARK from the Pine Tree State, light the first sky rocket, and it flew into the air. Then came the climax time to shoot the Human Cannon Ball. That Bombshell of Glamour, that Fireball of the Fair, sparkling “MARGIE” BASKOWSKI stepped onto the platform. Receiving the signal, sharp shooter RUTH DUNN, holder of the shooting medal, the Green Heart, and the Acorn Tree Cluster, as she was a WAC in World War II, pulled the charger and out flew Marge into the net. Not used to such excitement, Leo’s head began to throb and they left the fireworks demonstration in search of an Alka Seltzer. They then suddenly came upon ANNA KOKALIS (who in reality was a travelling saleswoman of vacuum cleaners) advertising the CLARA DOW Spa situ- ated just outside the Fair Grounds. “Come to Clara Dow’s Spa, bring your Ma and Pa, it really isn’t very far.” Badly in need of the Alka Seltzer they took Anna’s advice and followed the trail to the Dow Spa. They entered hurriedly and seated themselves at the soda bar. Owner CLARA DOW, chief soda jerker, gave Leo the desired alka seltzer. Leo swallowed it in one gulp and then began to get dizzy and to feel weak. But Clara knew what to do. She brought him over to Madame Curie of the Dow Spa, that pharmentical inventor, druggist HELEN DOHERTY, who quickly snapped up a prescription which made Leo feel like a new man. Just to kill time they walked to the Cavalcade of Literature building where they picked up the largest vmlume of the lot. Much to their amazement it was the I960 Women’s Edition of the Who’s Who in America. Turning the pages which were alphabetically arranged they chanced upon the name of JOYCE COHEN who was the youngest conductor of the Washington Philharmonic Orchestra. The next familiar name was that of MAR- Page One Hundred and Twelve META Peabody High School CARET FEWTRELL, famous New England Philosopher, and Educator known for her deep thoughts on “The Reasons Why Volcanoes Erupt”. Noticing a silver page among the grey they saw the name of LOUISE M. SULLIVAN en- graved in gold. Louise had gained fame by her cartoons of “Roundtop”, who had outwitted Dick Tracey and Super- man, and that master sleuth of all, Zartan. After closing the book, Harry said to Leo. “There’s something we missed. Even though it’s late, we must see it. Our trip won’t be complete without it.” Leo, in a surprised voice asked, “ Well, what is it?” Harry answered gleefully, “Ripley’s Believe It or Not Show, under the capable leadership of MARION RIPLEY.” They started out for the Ripley building at a fast pace and ran smack into two sports lovers on a tandem namely, BARBARA LEES and BARBARA LINEHAN who were on vacation from their duties at the Reed Library endowed by that world-wide philanthropist, SHIRLEY REED. Dazed by their blow, Harry and Leo completely missed tbeir sense of direction and entered the Fashion Show instead of the Ripley Building. Hearing women’s voices, they walked into the main hall where a colorful pageant of future fashions were being exhibited. There being no way out (as though they really wanted to leave) the boys seated themselves. Mistress of Ceremonies, PHYLLIS GILMAN was describing a gown worn by PRISCILLA GRANT who had been voted pin-up girl of the National Cricket Society. Priscilla glided gracefully across the stage, clad in the most publicized gown of the year — a dress made from the wings of thirty thousand colorful crickets. Next in review was exotic AUDREY IRVING, who was modeling the slacks of tomorrow — creaseless. cuffless, and shapeless. They were the newest in classical fashion. Leo turned to Harry and said,. “I must get one of those for my Fall wardrobe!” Last but not least was CONNIE PRAMAS modebng the dress that was the “Talk of the Town”. An afternoon dress made out of synthetic tea leaves. She looked good enough to eat. This gown was bought by the best dressed woman of the year, ALICE MARKARIAN, wife of the nation’s greatest railroad executive, owner of The Bread Line Railyway, GEORGE MARQUIS. Alice was seated next to our boys greatly to their surprise, so they stopped to chat, and Alice offered to take them on a tour of Wash- ington. Harry and Leo thanked Alice for her cordiality, but had to refuse her as they had to be getting back to the hotel. Returning to the hotel, night watchman RAY MCDON- ALD let the boys in through the Servant’s entrance so as not to awaken the paying customers. They went to their room and soon were fast asleep. At the crack of dawn they awoke with a start to hear a sharp clicking of heels going down the corridor. Harry and Leo sleepily walked to the door and opened it. They were astonished to see PHYLLIS PUSKA, efficient and capable hostess who was on her way to the closets on each floor to count the towels and linen which were being taken mysteriously from the hotel. Seeing the necessity of either hiding the napkins or evacuating, they checked out of the hotel for good and were off to say good-bye to tbe Fair. Walking to the Fair grounds to get a last view of beautiful Washington they passed through the Washing- ton Woodland Park. Seeing two young women attired in the latest in riding habits mounted on two Shetland Ponies, they stopped to watch the wonderful riding of these two young ladies. The caretaker of the park in- formed them that these ladies w ' ere the “cream” of Washington’s society — “BARB” PERKINS and MARY SPILIOTIS. Asking about the two magnificent ponies, they discovered them to be owned by VIOLET LOBAO’S Ex- clusive Riding School for Wealthy Young Ladies. Sitting on a bench sunning herself with a baby car- riage beside her sat a young nursemaid. On closer inspec- tions, Harry and Leo found her to be RUTH McLEAN. nurse and governess to the Ziggerman Triplets. On hear- ing that Harry and Leo were leaving that city, Ruth bade them goodbye and the boys walked off once again. Entering the Fair grounds for the last time, they noticed a beautiful statute called the “Seven Ages of Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Thirteen Man” created and designed by sculptress, Rose Gibely, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for 1960. Observing a part of the Fair that they had not seen before Harry and Leo walked over towards Dalton’s Rock- ets and curiously started to inspect a rocket ship. Owner JIMMY DALTON stepped over to them and upon recog- nizing them said, “Well, if it isn’t Harry and Leo! It’s great to see you boys again. How long are you staying?” Upon learning that Harry and Leo were leaving that very morning, he decided to tell them of his plan. In a whispering voice he said, “How would you boys like to take a planetory trip to Mars with me?” The word Mars struck a familiar chord. “I’ve got it,” said Harry. “I know where I’ve heard that before. It’s MARY MARRS!” And turning to Leo said, “By the way Leo, whatever did become of MARY MARRS?” Before Leo could answer, a highly e.xcited crowd of young men surged by them, announcing in high pitched voices: “She’s here, she’s here! Block all exits!!! Close all streets!!! I.eo turned around and said, “What’s happening? Who is it?” One of the men stopped long enough to say to him, “Do you mean to tell me you don’t know? Why screen actress, glamorous MARY MARRS is in town.” After recovering from surprise, Harry and Leo turned to Jimmy and said, “Well, this is the end of the glorious trip. We hav e seen the class of ’44 again and now we are ready to go to Mars.” The three old friends boarded the rocket ship called the “P. H. S.” and with an “up, up, and away” they roared off. And so to the class of ’44 we leave them all in peace, and to the entire world we just leave and will they thank God. M. M., T. N., M. K., L. S., P. F. MR. CLAUDE H. PHILLIPS MISS GRACE LAWLESS MISS CATHERINE SHEEHAN Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Fifteen CLASS Know all Men by these Presents: That we the members of the Senior Class of 1944, being of sound mind (and of sounder body) do, as our last will and testament, enumerate a few unforgettable characteristics which the individual testators of this doc- ument do now have and hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till the courts do them part, and hereby bequeath to certain, capable (or otherwise) indi- viduals who are found in the underclass ranks, the follow- in: Miriam Kuusisto wills her good looks to Barbara Goff. Muriel Kaster leaves her “always on the go’’ spirit to Hannah McVann. Albert Thibodeau entrusts his mastery with the pig- skin to “Dick” Keon. Eleanor Ames commits her ability to talk about any- thing to Lois Burkehart. “Jimmie” Donlon wills his good nature to “Nuts” Nangle. Audrey Irving leaves her sartorial splendor to some lucky junior. “Ray” Kako commits his “caveman technique” to John Berger. Nina Mitulinsky bequeaths her alluring charm to Ethel Evitts. Mary Marrs wills her lovable personality to some fortunate junior. Francis Wynne commits his bashfulness to “Tony” Kravchuck. WILL “Mickey” McLeod leaves her cheer-leading ability to Marie Green. “Jackie” Mulcahy leaves his technique with all the girls to Roy Putnam. Priscilla Grant leaves her willingness to make friends to Priscilla LeCain. Thelma Nyman leaves her curly blonde hair to some junior who eats a lot of carrots. “Lenny” Jones leaves his class room frolics to “Tippy” Larkin. “Connie” Leonard, our great little vice president, wills her “great height” to Doris Kelly. Marilyn Gness wills her neatness to Norma Beane. Harry Lawrence commits his executive manner of getting things done to Sonny Poole. “Billy” Meagher leaves his quite peaceful ways to “Dickie” Wadden.

And we, the class of “ ’44 ”, leave a prayer for our pupils and teachers, who have left our presence to answer the call of our country. Let us hope and pray, that they, no matter when or under what circumstances, will return safe and sound.

Riley This year our girls’ athletic program has been as full and varied as in other years, except for the basketball games with neighboring schools. These had to be aban- doned because of the transportation difficulties. However, our popular director. Miss Riley coached the girls in the fundamentals of the game and we enjoyed playing among ourselves. The apparatus club organized last year has been very popular this year and has many new members. The bowling club has also expanded in membership. During the year the girls learned many fascinating dance routines among which: ‘‘Rufty Tufty”, “The Arkan- sas Traveler” and “English Folk Dancing” were favorites. The gym classes were divided as in former years in two teams, the Blues and Whites. Throughout the year the teams competed in various games and relays, in hope that an award would be made to the winning team.

She understands and appreciates the importance of such human things as better eyes and ears. At Sylvania, a woman finds her kind of work for Victory — work she can do superlatively well. With stepped ' Up war production, there are more women than ever employed in Sylvania plants. From their supple, flying fingers come incandescent and fluorescent lamps to light American war work — radio and electronic tubes vital to military and naval communications by land, sea and air. We have done everything possible to create a pleasant working environment for women — light and airy plants, wholesome food, scrupulously clean washrooms. We are rewarded when we see girls “dress up ’ to these surroundings, look and act more like college students than factory workers. We had our women employees in mind when we pioneered in flooding our workrooms with music. And our theory that harmony would promote efficiency has been borne out by the production results.
