U, nSTUUT pbbody, - ry THE META Class of 1945 Peabody High School Page T wo META Peabody High School FOREWORD We have come to the end of our high school days. The carefree years of fun and frolic are over. As we now prepare to leave the old familiar scenes and venture out into a new world, we have deep within us mingled feelings of joy and sadness: joy in the satisfaction of work well done, and sadness in taking leave of the friends who have become so dear to us. We do not know what the years ahead may have in store for the members of the class, of ’45. But the happiest days of our youth are definitely behind us, and we shall always wish to recall the many pleasant memories associated with them. The aim of this year book is to help us to retain forever the happy recollections of the occasions which have been recorded on these pages. With this thought in mind, we present the Meta of 1945.

Page Six META Peabody High School MR. ARTHUR J. BARRY Principal Peabodx High School META Page Seven OUR PRINCIPAL As we are about to step out into life’s great uncharted sea, we cannot help feeling greatly indebted to our principal and friend, Mr. Arthur J. Barry. During the past four years of high school life, he has always stood ready to give us that necessary encouragement and guidance that we so needed. Competently and kindly, with an understanding patience for the shortcomings and foibles of youth, he has directed our attention toward the proper channels in preparation for our re ' spective futures. We shall ever look back to his friendly counsel with deep and sincere appreciation. Page Eight META Peabody High School OUR FACULTY FRIENDS Superintendent, William A.

From the time of our first days at High School when we were younger and less appreciative until our final hours when we have realised that we must go on alone, every member of the faculty has ever been willing and eager to help, advise, and assist us all. During our first years at high school some of us might not have heeded the counsel given us, but now in the closing days of our high school careers even the most indifferent among us are mindful of and appreciative of the work the faculty has been doing in our behalf. Let us endeavor to show our appreciation not by mere words, but by so ordering our lives that they shall be an everlasting monument to the labors of our faculty.

To those not here we send our blessings true; In heart, in mind, they’re always with us too. Farewell, oh Classmates, we go forth today. To meet the future come what may. So on this day, as old friends here we stand, True to ourselves, our school, our land.

It has been a tradition throughout the years, that each year the staff must attempt to present a bigger and better Observer than ever before. The staff of ’45 has done much to carry on this tradition. Under the expert manage- ment of our advisers, Mr. Frederick R. McManus, Miss Mary Luz and Mrs. Eva Haines, the Observer made many strides forward this year. The popularity of the magazine was emphatically proclaimed by the student body which responded to the subscription drive one hundred per cent. This record has never before been equaled in the entire history of the Observer. The staff this year unlike the past years was almost entirely composed of seniors. Among the seniors who worked long and diligently to insure the success of the Observer were: Editor-In-Chief, Forrest Troop; Associate Editors, Norma Beane and Cleanthis Tsorvas; Literary Ed- itors, Robert Sargent, Cresta Reidy and Richard Batchelder; Book Editor, Elihu Dandes; Alumni Editor, Lois Burkhart; NORMA, FORREST and CLEANTHIS, Co-Editors C ass Notes, Arety Alevras and Marjorie Quint; Athletic Editors Hannah McVann and Cleanthis Tsorvas; and Bus- ines Managers, Arthur McNiff and Joanne Keith. Among the girls serving as typists were Ruth Isaacson, Jeanne Luz, Margaret Morrison and Mary Kuzma. To these pupils much of the credit for the prose and poetry of the magazine is largely due. Our final edition of the Observer has been completed. The responsibility for future editions now lies upon the underclasses. The staff of forty five has completed its work but they shall be watching the issues of forthcoming years in the hope that the standards they have set shall be upheld. The future staffs have the best wishes of the staff of forty five and are entrusted with the tradition that each issue must be bigger and better. We ask only that you carry on where we leave off. The Observer will grow and flourish under future leaders, yet the memory of forty five will live on long after the last page of the final issue is read.

Peabody High School META Page Ninety-nine CLASS PROPHECY, 1945 TIME: 1965. “All aboard — all aboard,” the conductor shouted. “Hey, wait for us, we’re coming. Hurry up, Lois, come on. Barb! Where in the world is the porter?” was our reply. With such an auspicious beginning of confusion and up- roar, our trip from New York showed promise of being filled with excitement. “There’s the porter now,” RICHARD BATCHELDER, the “brains” behind Amalgamated Airlines, yelled to ELIHU DANDES, Chief Auditor for the State of New York. “Porter, oh, porter, take our bags please!” The porter sauntered toward us. Imagine our surprise at finding him to be none other than our old friend DONALD HJELM. Donald later explained that he was only substituting for the regular porter who had gone to see MALCOLM REMIS, currently starring in the “Roche Revue”, conducted by the former football star, “BUDDY” ROCHE. Donald added that among the Rockettes we would find CRESTA REIDY, HELEN BASELIS, and MARJORIE HOCKENHULL, and that among the “stage-door Johnnies” were HERBERT HER- SHENSON, the multimillionaire, and PAUL STROUT, pin-up boy of the nation. At this point, the conductor broke in with, “Kalamazoo, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, and all points west! Oops, par- don me, that was yesterday’s train. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and all points north.” “Why,” LOIS BURKHART, the much publicized Conovef model exclaim- ed, “that sounds like — it is!!! JOYCE COPELAND!” We left Joyce still hollering out train stops. She told us that she had had so much practice talking in High School, she decided to utilize her energies. We made our way to seats (a few were available) in spite of the rush to Peabody to see the singing sensation, CLEANTHIS TSORVAS. We huffed and puffed breathlessly for a few moments, then looked around to see if we knew any of our fellow passengers. We spotted Mr. and Mrs. ROY PUTNAM. Their little daughter, ELAINE NOYES Putnam, is an exact min- iature of her mother. Further down were ARTHUR HOL- DEN, the construction engineer, and JOANNE KEITH as happy as only newlyweds can be. (Art finally popped the question after eighteen years of watchful waiting.) We left the train in Salem and caught a fleeting glimpse of PHYLLIS JERMYN bidding good-bye to her traveling salesman husband, JOHN HAVENOOK. From the Salem depot we made our way to the ter- minal, stopping only long enough to wave to “JOHNNIE” DECOULAS, who conducts a rushing shoe-shine business in Town House Square. A bus marked “Peabody, via Gard- ner Park” pulled in and the starter, “CHARLIE” ANGE- LAKIS yelled, “Peabody Square, step ta da reara da bus.” We took the subtle hint and stepped on the toes of “DOTTIE” JACKSON, teacher at P. H. S„ and MARY KUZ- MA, society editor of the Boston Globe squealed that her shoes were ruined. “MIKE” KOKINOS finally got every- thing in order and off we started. When we reached the square, we entered “Shiman- oski’s Shanty” for our meal. We sat at a table near the door, and the busboys, DAVID PINTO and RAYMOND MELLO, dressed in zoot suits with the inscription, “Where the Elite Meet to Eat” on each lapel, cleared the table. Afer considerable glass-tapping, cleverly manipulated by FORREST TROOP, the eminent psychologist, the waitress, LINDA DOVEAS, Champion gum-chewer from way back, rambled over to our table, and in her soft and mellow voice, bellowed, “What’s your order?” We ordered five blue plate specials, and Linda yelled, “Sweep the kitchen five times!” The chef, KENNETH SILVERMAN and his able assistant, CHARLES “MIDGET” KIPOURAS put their heads out of the door and demanded a consultation with Linda. JENNIE SHIMANOSKI, the proprietress, spoke to her rather harshly and then came over to our table. BARBARA GORDON, fashion editor for “Vogue”, asked Jennie how ARTHUR McNIFF was fulfilling his duties as mayor. Barb had no sooner finished speaking when Arthur came in, leading his harem of secretaries, including JEAN LUZ, Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and One MARY BERTOLDI, RITA GAINLEY, ANNE HORRIGAN, and a corps of other beauties. Art told us that he was one of the best mayors Peabody had ever had, and mentioned other dignitaries under his administration, including “KAY” LIACOS, city solicitor, FRANK MOORE, Head of Electric Lighting, “EDDIE” BOUCHARD, Building Inspector, and his secretary PRISCILLA LeCAIN. After eating a most peculiar meal, we went to pay the cashier, MARGARET MORRISON, as the bouncer PER- ICLES BOUGAS kept a watchful eye on PEARL GAGNON head waitress. As we swung swiftly through the swinging door, whom should we meet but LILLIAN ALEXUK, MARJORIE COOMBS, and MARY VENIOS, the operators of “You Bring It, We’ll Fix It Beauty Box”,, owned by IDA HAVIO. We recovered from the whirlwind, strolled down Main Street, now a beautiful avenue, and were amazed by the number of stores run by our former classmates. The store formerly known as Alberghini’s now displayed the sign, “Holuk’s Hangout, GEORGE HOLUK, Proprietor.” George pointed out to us that ARTHUR “CAFEY” ADAM- OPOULOS was now managing Raymond’s Paper Store, to- gether with his assistant, CHARLES TSALTAS. In his spare moments “Cafey” performs the duties of dog catcher. (To reward us for wearing our dog tags faithfully, Art gave us a box of Dolly Dimples’ Doggy Delights.) A little way up the street we noticed that HARRY PAGANIS was the current owner of Whidden’s. We decided that we were thirsty, and therefore went into the Curtis Drug Company. MARY PAYNE and ESTHER KOLHONEN, Registered Pharmacists, greeted us warmly. JENNIE NICKOLA, manager of the soda fountain served us personally, because her employees had deserted her to go to the Strand, one of the largest and most attractive theaters in New England, to see the “Follies of 1965”. Forrest suggested that we visit the High School to see our old friends, Principal JOHN BERGER and V ice Principal PETER SPANEAS. We were informed that on the teaching staff are Madame IDA BRUNI, Music Instructor, SHIRLEY FELLOWS, teacher of chemistry, and NELLIE KLOPOTOSKY, instructor of physiology. As we wandered through the corridors, we met JAMES and “GERRY” (O’KEEFE) LINEHAN discussing child wel- fare with the timber wolf, ROBERT SARGENT. We left the beautiful edifice and proceeded to cross Central Boule- vard. The traffic officers (strangely enough, women) were MARION DIACHISIN and DORIS CUNHA beautifully dressed in their smart red uniforms. Across the street we found the office and plant of the “Peabody Gazette”. HANNAH McVANN, editor-in-chief, and SYLVIA MARON, editor of the advice to the lovelorn column, greeted us at the door. Hannah conducted us through the building, where we saw “TONY” MOSKEVICH repairing a press. Star reporters, CHRISTINE KRONTERES, BERTHA BAGUSH, and INEZ CARTER were hard at work on their daily columns. As we continued our tour, MAR- SHALL WASHBURN, the publisher came in. He told us that both he and his wife (MERRILYN YOUNG) were in the best of health. We bade the staff goodbye, and left for the Strand Matinee. The show was sensational, featuring the HOWARD MCCARTHY Dancers, RAYMOND BUCKLEY and his band, with “PEGGY” EMMETT as soloist, and starring the one and only CLEANTHIS TSORVAS. Ambulance drivers were prepared to make frequent trips up and down the aisles to remove swooning matrons. The usherette who conduct- ed us to our seats was none other than LILLIAN AHO. The candy girl smiled at us, and we almost failed to recognize her as MARY ARGEROS. Before the stage show, the picture was unreeled. The title was “Murder in the Bathtub”, or, “The Brain In The Drain,” starring PAT- RICIA KROLINSKY and the Valentino of ’65, IRVING BAB- NER. After the excellent show, we made our way to the Peabody Beach where we made the rounds of the refresh- ment stands. MARY ZAKAS, ELLA WORSENCROFT and JUNE CAMERON were in charge of these concessions. A loud cry attracted us to the beach where we saw the brave, brawny, and broad-shouldered lifeguard “JOE” BETTENCOURT swimming with masterful strokes to reach the champion swimmer ETHEL GARDNER, who had sprung a leak in her water wings. HERE AND THERE Peabodv High School META Page One Hundred and Three As Ethel was carried to shore, JOHN MORELAND, our brilliant doctor rushed over to apply artificial respiration. As soon as the excitement had died down, we walked over to the ferry boat, operated by LEO KUTRUBES to- gether with his crew of three husky sailors, “EDDIE” KASPRZYK, “JOE” KOLODZIEJ, and “TONY” PIMENTA. We boarded the ship for a trip to the health resort on Harmonious Island. We disembarked at the camp and LYDIA ROSENFELT, head counselor, met us and directed us to the Gymnasium where we found MARY LOU NOONAN, SHIRLEY ROLLINS, ELAINE PANTAPAS, and KELLY TSALTAS demonstrating South Sea dances. A little further on we found a group discussing the latest books. In this circle were ETHEL ANDROMIDAS, ARISTE COKOROGIANNIS and ELEANOR FRAIZE, literary critics for the sparkling magazine, “Wow”. The girls were enthralled by RUTH MURPHY’S latest book, “Theory of the Evolution of Man.” As we left this group we chanced upon HARRY ASLO- GLOU and PETER SAXONIS who were acting as caretakers of the resort. They told us a little about members of our graduating class whom they had recently met. We were pleased to hear that NORMAN BERNSTEIN was Professor of French at Harvard and that JOSEPH OSSOFF had taken over Suffolk Downs (yes, they finally reopened it). They also said that IRENE DOW, ROSE GATCHELL, and MARY KONDON had entered the cosmetic business and have originated the “Dowchelldon Face Lift.” The scream of the ship’s whistle interrupted our pleasant discussion. As we ran for the .boat we caught a glimpse of a beauty contest. A few of the beauteous con- testants were INEZ EVITTS, “KAY” ENDSLOW, RUTH ISAACSON, MARJORIE QUINT, and “DOTTY” KELLY. The boat pulled away from shore and one of our erstwhile passengers, DONALD REID, the Varga artist, became en- grossed in the beauty contest, and leaned over the rail a wee bit too far. SPLASH!!! The wild west ranger ROB- ERT YOUNG swung his trusty lasso and pulled “Ducky” from the ocean. After the boat pulled into dock we went to the Hotel Royal Arms, owned and operated by our old friend “JOHN- NIE” CROUGHWELL. The doorman greeted us with a cheery “Good evening”. To our amazement he proved to be FRANCIS COMEAU resplendent in his orange and pink uniform. The desk clerk, LEO LABELLE, assigned us to our rooms. As we walked through the lobby, Richard saw “DICK” KEON, coach at Holy Cross, enter the elevator. We freshened up a bit, and then wandered over to the Legion Grounds (our feet are killing us too!!!), where “CHET” DUDZISZ and HENRY PELLETIER, co-owners of the “Curbstone Carnival Company” were dashing about to make sure that everything was ready for the evening performance. We stepped over to the box office and purchased our tickets from BARBARA PAGE and MARIE ROY. After hav- ing our tickets snatched and mutilated by Legion volun- teer JOHN MISTRETTA, we were informed that “Barb’s” purse was missing. In her mild, melodious voice, Miss Gordon screamed for help. Policeman GREGORY THEO- KAS calmly swallowed three Vital Vitamin Capsules (man- ufactured by the ROBERT F. SULLIVAN Laboratories) and proceeded to the scene mun ching a frankfurt that he purchased from DOROTHY SEPPILA, whose husband was Commander of the post. Barbara explained that she had her purse when she left the hotel, but that it was now gone. Lois was in tears because she gave Barb her pre- cious Krispy Krunchy Karamels wrappers that enabled her to obtain the latest premium. While Gregory put his force consisting of the charm- ing policewomen ELIZABETH MacNEIL, JANE MALHOIT and FRANCES SILVERIA into action, we stopped to read a large poster, boasting: “KATHERINE LEFAS and her performing helicopters, with the incomparable Aerial Bal- let, featuring SHIRLEY CANTELMO, ESTHER MANNINEN. SARAH MALLIA, and BARBARA GOFF, doing their ‘dance of death on the rolling rotors.’ See the show tonight at twelve.” We wandered about the grounds for a while, stopping now and then then at food and entertainment concessions. We saw VICTORIA KOKORAS in charge of the da rt throw- ing. Her chief customer was “JOHNNIE” KRAWCZYK, who had just won a set of encyclopedias written by the per- CAPE S IN THE GYM! -AY Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Five ennial quiz kid CHARLES BOURAS, Johnnie turned the books over to LOUISE JUNG and MARIE KIELTY, adver- tising girls for the Carnival, who promised to see that the books were donated to the library at P. H. S., where we sincerely hope they will be appreciated. We turned as Sergeant Malhoit reported that Captain Theokas wished to see us at once. We made our way to the box office where we were told that the elephant- keeper, CHARLES POOLE, had discovered his prize ele- phant, Desdemona, merrily munching away on Miss Gor- don’s purse. At this shocking news Lois moaned deject- edly, “Now I’ll never get my picture of Paul Strout auto- graphed, ‘Krunchily yours, Dreamboat Strout.’ ” “Barb” was frantic, for the bag contained her diam- ond ring which she had recently repurchased from GREG- ORY PAPANICOLAS’ Pawn Palace. As we discussed the situation, we felt a breeze as LOIS MASSEY rushed out to tell her employer EDWARD SYLVANOWICZ, noted lawyer, that there was a chance for business. Eddie materialized out of nowhere and ' step- ped up to Barbara, then softly shrieked, “Lost your purse, lost your pictures, lost your premiums, Uh huh!!! Gracious to Betsey and Merciful Heavens. Mmmm!!! Tell you what I’m gonna do — for a slight fee of course - — I will not only recover damages for you, but I will obtain two bathing suit photos of Paul Strout posed specially for you This is an offer never before equalled or paralleled in the history of law.” Lois screamed with delight while Elihu and Forrest advised “Barb” to take Eddie’s offer. Before any definite actiorf was taken, however, Dudzisz and Pelletier offered to make good the loss. This satisfied all concerned, includ- ing Desdemona, who was suffering from an acute attack of indigestion brought on by an overdose of premiums. After a peaceful night’s rest, we rose bright and early in order to go to the CHARLES PHILIP MULCAHY Clinic. We had heard that many of our old friends had gone into hospital work and were employed at the clinic. We enter- ed the front door and were definitely startled when a huge basket of flowers approached us and asked, “May I help you?” After our first surprise was over, we did a little investigating and found that receptionist “PAT” CASHMAN was behind the flowers. She directed us to the house doctor’s office where we found DR. ANTHONY KRAVCHUK in conference with the Board of Directors, JOSEPH O’CONNOR, JOHN SPYROP- OULOUS, and ARVE THOMPSON. As the boys were sup- posed to be discussing BARBARA DOODY’S appointment to Superintendent of Nurses we could not understand why each fellow held a hand of five cards. We were distracted from the “conference room” by loud bursts of laughter from the adjoining recreation room. The answer to a maiden’s prayer, “ED” HOLLERAN was seated on a table surrounded by welfare workers, MARY MCDONALD and CLAIRE MURRAY, and nurses BARBARA DRISCOLL, EMILY PAES, and PHYLLIS CAV- ANAUGH. The girls greeted us with shouts of glee. Eddie had just completed one of the drawings which had made him famous. We couldn’t help recalling that Eddie used to amuse the second period History class with these draw- ings. We left the happy gathering and went on to the lab- oratory, where we found LAURA SKREP, lab technician, explaining to her amazed assistants, MARY McCORMACK and IRENE BAPTISTA, the ' coagulation of rabbits’ blood and its effect on the rabbit. Unfortunately we did not have time to inspect the clinic thoroughly, for we had to dash over to the (ANAS- TASIA) SALARIS Broadcasting Studios, where the pro- duction “Man Hunt” co-starring MAROLYN WELCH, MAR- JORIE OULTON and LUCY BETTENCOURT as the Berry sisters, Huckle, Razz, and Blue, was in rehearsal. When the play ended, announcer LYDIA KROCKMAL stepped to the mike and squeaked, “Ladies, is your hair dull and drab? Hmm? Do men fail to return after one date, hmmm? Then I have the answer to your troubles. Just use SILVA’S Slimy Shampoo, perfected by Madame GLORIA SILVA. It is sold at department and five and ten cent stores everywhere. If the present supply at your store is exhausted, just send your hair to us, and if, after we have treated it, people do not say, ‘My, does your hair OUR NEW TRADE SCHOOL Peabodv High School META Page One Hundred and Seven look differently lately, we shall cheerfully return the re- mains of your crowning glory.” Immediately following the mid-morning dream, NOR- MA BEANE and MARIE GREENE presented a series of old familiar favorites, including “Always” and “Evalina”. As we left Studio A, where the preceding programs originated, we caught a portion of JUNE “Tell Me Your Troubles” TEDFORD’s program. It seemed to be the voice of DORIS “Pardon My Sarong” KELLY saying, “Now that I’m quite wealthy, Miss Tedford, do you think that I should continue raising peanuts or should I change to a pinto pony ranch? We had just entered Studio B to see KATHLEEN “Sis” COADY play in “I WANNA GET MARRIED”, the vehicle which made her the new “Come Up and See Me Some Time Gal” of America, when CLARA NIECRASZ, producer of the show came over to see us. We were delighted to see Clara and were amused by some of the gossip which she told us. We were informed that CONNIE” QUIRK had taken over Paige Pottery, and was now gently pitching pipe from one end of the building to the other. ALEXANDER PETKEVITCH was home for a few days before starting a coast to coast appearance with his trumpet. In the sale at “BOB” KATZMAN’S Glamorous Garment Gallery, MARGARET DULLEA and LORRAINE LAWRENCE, the librarians at the Peabody Institute, were slightly injured in the rush to obtain their morale-building equipment at greatly reduced prices. Just before she left, Clara told us to stay around for a while since we Would surely see VIRGINIA REED, CLAIRE GIROLIMAN, and MARY DRIVAS about the building, for they were among the most active stockholders at the studios. We were enthralled by Miss Coady’s performance, but we were disappointed when the serial ended just as she was about to be reunited with her childhood sweetheart, JOHN “TIPPY” LARKIN, only to find that John’s other wife, aptly played by LOTTIE DLUGOKINSKI, would not release him. (Alas and alack for true love.) We wiped our eyes and listened to SOTERIOS ANGELOS deliver the “end of the broadcast” that went, “Will ‘Sis’ marry John? What will happen to his other wife? Who cares anyhow? Well, just tune in at this same time tomorrow.” After he completed his bit, we heard, by electrical transcription, the BALLAS girls, ILLENE and GEORGIA harmonize, “Don’t Keep Bananas In The Refrigerator,” the new hit song written by that eminent team, JOHN WAS- ELCHUCK and CHESTER HULUK. From the studio we went to the commissary for a light lunch. As we passed an ante-room, we saw RICHARD WADDEN listening to a record of “Dickie Boy”, recorded by you know who. In the commissary were ROSE SCHORR and KATHER- INE VLACHOS. They confided to us that they had decided to team up and that almost any day now they would be leaving for Europe to present their dazzling dances in Gay Paree, Old Vienna, and Mysterious Lisbon. We wished them luck and continued on. At a table far over in the corner, we saw JOAN SPEL- IOTIS and ANDREW TESHKO, ace script writers, talking over the days when they sat near each other in 105. We left the restaurant after a delicious meal and walked around a little to see more of the city before we left. MARGARET COVIELLO waved to us from the other side of the street. She called that she was having a dinner party that night to celebrate the publication of her new play, “Under 61.” We regretted to refuse her, but we had to return to New York within a few hours We had our luggage shipped by freight, as we were to return by plane. We took a taxi to the airfield and boarded a plane. The air hostesses ARETY ALEVRAS and RUTH ANDERSON strapped us into our seats and off we went. We left the old home town with mingled feelings, for we had met all our old friends, some, where we had ex- pected to find them, others in the most unexpected places. But as Shakespeare (or was it someone else) once said, “One never knows, does one?” R. B.; L. B.; E. W. D.; B. G.; F. T. Page One Hundred and Eight META Peabodv High School CLASS WILL BE IT REMEMBERED that we, the class of 1945, of Pea- body High School of Peabody, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made.

Katherine Liacos On this third day of June A.D. 1945, Katherine Liacos, as a representative of the class of 1945, of Peabody High School, of Peabody, Massachusetts, signed the foregoing instrument in our presence, declaring it to be their last will: and thereafter as witnesses thereof we three, at her request, in her presence, and in the presence of each other, hereto subscribe our names. Mary C. Kuzma Jeanne M. Luz Sylvia Z. Maron Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and J ine CLASS September G, 1944 — Today’s the big day!! We’re Seniors!! And we want everyone to know it! We ' ve waited long, and still longer, for this memorable day to come and now that it’s here we’re going to take full ad- vantage of those privileges which go with seniorhood. Now it is our turn to lord it over the lower classmen as was done to us when we struggled through those tedious days as freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. This day is one we will remember in years to come. Many of our most prominent class members will have left, when June comes, to offer their services to our country in this Second World War. No doubt, when graduation day arrives, many of us will feel a pang of regret at the thought of leaving dear old Peabody High and going out to face the wide world and its wonders. What happened today? Nothing too terrible! We got our home rooms and everyone was settled in a cheerful state of mind to face the coming year. We went to our subject rooms and after becoming ac- quainted with our teachers, were provided with books and pencils for the coming months. And so come assignment and the fight is begun! September 11, 1944 -First faculty meeting called. We wonder what ' s cookin’ now!!! September 16, 1944 -The end of the first week. Everyone is in there pitching and things are running smoothly. Our teachers are duly impressed and graduation is only thirty-nine weeks away! September 22, 1944 — Today the class of 1945 cast its All- American vote. We firmly believe that we used our best judgment when the majority agreed upon the following officers: President, Paul Strout; Vice Presi- dent, Margaret Emmett; Secretary, Hannah McVann; Treasurer, John Croughwell. We will count on them to lead us victoriously through the Senior Year. DIARY October 4, 1944 — Again we cast our vote for Home Room Representatives. We feel confident that Lottie Dlug- okinski, Katherine Endslow, Esther Manninen, Ruth Murphy, and Edward Sylva.nowicz will keep us in close touch with Senior doings. October 11, 1944 — The spotlight turns to the first dance of the year, the Senior Barn Dance. Everyone rooted out his old straw hat and was soon dancing hep to the jive to the music of Billy Higgins’ and his orches- tra. A gay time was had by all who attended. November 2, 1944 — Come one, come all, to room 109!! That’s right, you guessed it! We received our long awaited class rings!! November G, 1944 — Thump-thump-thump beat our hearts. Today we get our report cards and some of us are due for a shock. But we promise to buckle down and do some real concentrating next term. November 8, 1944 — Parent-Teachers’ Night. Tonight our parents will find out that figures don’t lie and that maybe we ----- exaggerate the truth a bit! ! Lights out tonight 9:00 p.m. November 23, 1944 — Today we begin to make preparations for Thanksgiving with a four day recess from school. After an exciting football game between our own Peabody eleven and Gloucester, we will enjoy a tur- key dinner with all the fixin’s. A little relaxation for us Seniors before we open ???? our books .again. December 7, 1944 — Three years ago today — the tragedy of Pearl Harbor. Now, today, our nation is doubly pre- pared and will be so forever more. Page One Hundred and Ten META Peabody High School December 15, 1944 — And a merry time was had by all today as we decorated the Auditorium for our Christ- mas Ball. Beautiful trees glittered with those decora- tions which make Christmas what it is. Soft light and dreamy dance music provided a gala setting for the most important social event of the year. December 22, 1944 — Santa Claus is coming to town! Yes, it’s time out for the Christmas holidays. We are all anxious to hang up our stockings and await the arrival of St. Nick. Whe-w-w! that’s over! Now we can concentrate on books and the task of finishing the Senior Year. January 2, 1945 — We resume our studies again, fresh and wide awake and ready to start the New Year off with a bang! This is Our Year and we’re ready to make the most of it. January 18, 1945 — An important rehearsal for the P. H. S. Revue is being held tonight and we’re all getting into the swing of things. Everyone has great expectations for this annual event and an even better show than last year is in the making. January 24, 1945 — Five members of the Business Staff of the Observer were presented with tickets to the Ice Follies. This reward was for their splendid work in making the first issue of the Observer a success. January 29, 1945 — Mid Years!! Need we say more?? February 8, 1945 — Will we ever forget tonight, the opening night of the P. H. S. Revue? While a blizzard raged outside, many of the audience and cast were obliged to remain in the auditorium all night. It was a har- rowing experience and one we will always remember. February 9, 1945 — On the second night of our Revue, the general opinion is that the evening was a great suc- cess. It has finally been discovered that P. H. S. has many hidden stars who will one day shine, perhaps on Broa dway. February 10, 1945 — The closing night of our Revue. We will never forget this year’s entertainment, one of the great- est ever to be presented by our school. We hope our example will be followed in years to come. February 20, 1945 — One thing we will never tire of — va- cation. We really deserve it, though, as we have been studying faithfully and hard. We expect to re- turn to school relaxed and refreshed and ready to carry on! March 7, 1945 — Everyone was presented with his report card today. Some were shocked, some were surprised, and some, — well some just took it in their stride. March 16, 1945 — The whole school assembled in the audi- torium today to watch an exciting basketball game between rooms 101 and 106. After bravely fighting it out, the Senior home room, 101, emerged with the first floor pennant and the pennant for the School Championship. Let’s give the Seniors a hand! March 27, 1945 — We all wore our best bib and tucker today for the group pictures of the Meta Staff. We might not be so enthusiastic when we see the results but we’re hoping for the best. April 12, 1945 — Tonight, the entire nation is mourning the death of its great leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Around the world the humble and the great are pay- ing tribute to him in words of praise and sorrow. Our President died as he was about to see the reward of his efforts for bringing a lasting peace to a war- ridden world. It is a pity that he could not have lived to see the fulfillment of his noble work. Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Eleven President Roosevelt will go down in history as one of the great leaders of our age. Now that he has passed on, he is in the company of the few immortal Presidents. April 13, 1945 — This morning, following a proclamation of Governor Maurice J. Tobin, our school conducted me- morial exercises in memory of President Roosevelt. After these exercises in which both teachers and pu- pils participated, school was dismissed for the day. April 17, 1945 — Spring Football! ’Tis the first game of the season (postponed from last Friday) and although many of our prominent players are in the service, we hope to be victorious. Our opponent — Saugus. We’re rooting for the Class A Champions of 1945. No go! Just a scoreless tie. April 23, 1945 — Honor parts are announced. Our valedic- torian and salutatorian are Richard Batchelder and Ruth Isaacson respectively. We give our heartiest congratulations not only to Richard and Ruth, but also to the o ther members of our class who won scholastic distinction by their outstanding work in the four years at P. H. S. May 7, 1945 — We return to school after the spring vaca- tion, the last vacation for us Seniors during our high school careers. During these few remaining weeks we will display our musical ability in making prep- aration for graduation. May 8, 1945 — V-E day, marking the official end of the struggle in Europe, is an historic milestone. It de- notes the capitulation of the Nazi forces of aggression which sought to enslave Europe and the whole world. But it does not mark the end of the total fight, it is only an occasion for sober gladness but not re- joicing. In this hour when victory in Europe has been achiev- ed, the American people, regardless of race, creed or color, should pray together that they may fulfill the responsibilities of the past by making the future better. On the occasion of V-E day the entire school as- sembled in the auditorium to conduct a program of thanksgiving. Original compositions, were read by David Goldstein and Robert Flannagan. Music was provided by the Senior chorus after which the school was dismissed for the remainder of the day. May 29, 1945 — Class Banquet! We have a very enjoyable evening. We over eat, as is expected, and will prob- ably suffer the consequences later. This is one event we’ve all been waiting for during high school and proceed to make the most of it. We do feel important with graduation day approaching! June 3, 1945 — Graduation Day! We march across the plat- form and receive the diplomas for which we have worked so hard and so long. There are many tears and smiles as we regretfully leave P. H. S. where we spent so many happy days. This is the last time we’ll be together as a class, and now it’s over as Time marches on! June 5, 1945 — The class of 1945 attended the last social event of the year, the Senior Reception. This is the last time we’ll all be together but everyone seems to be enjoying himself. It’s been a happy four years, but now we march on to have a look at life itself, the life for which we have been preparing during these memorable high school days.

Coach Bill Seeglitz labored for four years to produce this great football machine of 1945. With years of hard work and experience, the team was able to perform brilliantly, this past season. In the opener, against Marblehead’s weak eleven, Peabody amassed a total of twenty-one points, then against Revere, twenty-one more, with not a single point being scored against them. Lowell was next and became the first team to score on Peabody but, at the end of the game, the score stood, Peabody 33, Lowell 7. At this point in the season, Peabody began to be rated as Championship calibre. This opinion was strength- ened by Peabody’s decisive victories over Classical and Beverly by successive scores of 22-0 and 27-0. The following game was with Lynn English, a sup- posedly weak team, composed of young inexperienced players. But the element of overconfidence had crept into the ranks of the Peabody team. In the first half, English scored six points to take the lead. Even though Peabody had a reputation of being a strong second half team, one could sense a feeling of uneasiness sweep the Peabody stands, as the two teams again took the field. Peabody came back strong and drove yard by yard, downfield, until they crossed the goal line but the conversion failed and the score was tied, six all. The English team now became spurred by a fear of possible defeat. The fourth period was gradually coming to an end, but Lynn English was still resisting the tired but undying spirit of the Peabody boys. With the clock showing less than two minutes left to play, English took possession of the ball, in their own territory. Everyone had the same thought, that English would freeze the ball and stall for time. The game was nearly over and an air of disappointment was settling over the Peabody stands. Nick Morris, coach of English, sent in a substitution at quarterback, and everyone concluded that he had given his team the order to stall for time. The English team lined up and Bob Whalen, their big fullback, who had sparked the team throughout the game, was in the tail- back position. The ball went to Whalen, but to the sur- prise of all, he was fading back. Morris had called for a pass, in a last minute attempt to win the ball game. The ball was in the air and the crowd rose to its feet, with all eyes glued on it, and on the English ends racing down- field. Suddenly, streaking acrossfield, a lone figure snatched the ball in mid-air and began a frantic race towards the English goal some forty yards ahead. It tfas a wonderful spectacle watching an impenetrable wall of interference forming around, Dick Keon, Peabody’s great halfback, who had intercepted the English pass. Whalen was the last English man between him and the goal line, but a beautiful block sprawled Whalen in the dirt. Keon had scored and Peabody was once again victorious, being still undefeated and also untied. The feeling of overconfidence had now completely disappeared from the ranks of the Peabody team. They took the next three games, without too much trouble. Manchester Central, Lawrence, and Gloucester, were the three teams which proved to be mere breathers for the oncoming Salem game. Because of a disagreement as to where the championship game was to be played, the game was put off for some time. In the meantime, Pea- body had arranged to play a post season game with Saugus. Saugus was one of the most powerful elevens on the North Shore and Class B Champions but Peabody was determined to win and displayed its superiority by trouncing them 19-7. The date for the Salem game was now finally set and Manning Bowl was agreed upon. It was a tired Pea- body game that took the field for the Salem game. The Saugus game had taken its toll. The Peabody boys played their heart out in that first period but failed to score. CAPTAIN HENRY PELLETIER and MANAGER RICHARD WADDEN From then on it was all Salem with Peabody lighting a desperate defensive battle. When the final shot was fired, the score was still nothing to nothing but Peabody was now the Class A State Champion winning out over Salem by the slimmest margin of only two percentage points. The 1945 football season had ended. Ever y player de- served the greatest credit for the splendid work and achievements of the team. The line was impenetrable with Captain Henry Pelletier and John Berger standing unfalteringly on either side of the front wall. All through the season, the backfield coordinated beautifully with Keon, Connolly, Kravchuk and Roche providing the power and speed that scored touchdowns and brought victory for Peabody. This was undoubtedly one of the greatest teams in Peabody Football History and we are indeed proud of it. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS 1945 BASEBALL TEAM 1945 BASKETBALL TEAM Page One Hundred and Twenty-four META Peabody High School GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Director — Miss Helen Riley This year our girls athletic program has been as full as other years, with the exception of the basketball games with neighboring schools. Because of transporta- tion difficulties, these games with our friendly rivals had to be eliminated from our athletic program. One of the outstanding events of our senior year was a program of Competitive Exhibition, under the most cap- able direction of Miss Riley. This interesting event was held in the high school assembly hall on the evening of April 25. Marching, dances, mimetics, games, drills and stunts constituted the events, with the groups divided into two teams captained by Hannah McVann and Marie Greene. Until the final event of the evening the winner of the team cup remained in doubt, with the Blues, nosing out Marie’s team. Supt. William A. Welch presented the cup, which Hannah McVann accepted on behalf of her teammates. Miss Riley then awarded a silver cup for the outstanding girl in the field of physical education to Marie Greene. The judges, Pauline Tersolo of Beverly, Rosemary Boyle of Wilmington and Victoria Kopoczynski of Salem, selected Marie Greene and announced the names of Ger- aldine O ' Keefe, Hanna McVann, Rita Gainley and Eleanor Skinner as runners up, in the order named.
